From CNN, I'm Ifeoma Dike with the with the five things you need to know for Friday, May 10th.

'The U.N. General Assembly has passed a resolution calling on the Security Council to reconsider Palestinian membership. Back in April, the Palestinian Authority submitted a request to join, but the U.S. vetoed it. And before today's session, the U.S. mission to the U.N. indicated that it would veto the resolution again. Israel commended the U.S. veto, calling the Palestinian bid a quote, "shameful proposal," while the Palestinian Authority called the veto, quote, "unfair, immoral and unjustified." The Palestinian U.N. ambassador spoke at today's session before the vote and got emotional when mentioning the pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University.

I stand before you, as the Israeli prime Minister is ready to kill thousands more to ensure his political survival, as he openly declares the Palestinian state is an existential threat. And together with his coconspirators, continues. 76 years after the Nakba, to try and finish the job.

The jury in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial. Heard from a few witnesses today. The trial picked up, with Trump's former white House aide resuming her testimony. Madeleine Westerhout answered questions about how checks were sent from the Trump Organization to White House employees and said that Trump would sign checks without reviewing them. The aide also testified that Trump was, quote, "very upset" when the story about Stormy Daniels and their alleged affair came out, saying, quote, "my understanding was it would be hurtful to his family." The jury also heard from analysts from AT&T and Verizon, who testified about call and subscriber records the companies kept, with one of them being Michael Cohen's cell phone data submitted into evidence. Another paralegal from the Manhattan District Attorney's office testified about reviewing reports on Cohen's phones, including as text messages and call logs. Cohen is expected to testify on Monday.

A federal appeals court has upheld the contempt of Congress conviction of Steve Bannon, the ex adviser to former President Donald Trump. Bannon was found guilty after failing to comply with a subpoena from the House. January 6th Committee. The court also upheld his sentence of four months in federal prison, which could pave the way for him to serve that time. The judge, who presided over Bannon's trial previously agreed to let him hold off from serving a sentence while his appeal played out. Bannon's attorneys did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.

'About half of Target's 2000 stores won't carry its Prime merchandise this year. They'll also only sell adult apparel, though the whole collection will be available online. The company says it's because of a right-wing boycott last year that took a toll on target's bottom line. Last year, Target saw The Wall Street Journal that people have confronted workers in stores and knocked down pride merchandise displays, among other anti LGBTQ acts.

Coming up, the Northern Lights move south.

Hey. Welcome back.

Parts of the US as far south as Alabama could be able to see the Northern Lights this weekend because of intense solar activity. For the first time in almost two decades, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for this evening. The activity could cause some communications disruptions and power issues, but it will also give parts of the U.S. a rare chance to see the aurora borealis. People in the northern Midwest states and the Northern Plains will have the best shot at seeing the spectacle, and it could be visible as far south as northern Alabama and California. If you want to catch a glimpse, you'll have to get up early. Peak activity is forecast between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. eastern Saturday.

That's all for now. I'll be back at 6 p.m. eastern.
