and so when we talk about structural racism, some of it is about who is being heard in the labor and delivery room and how can we make that so that more women, no matter who they are, feel that their care providers are responding to them in this really vulnerable time. maybe the most vulnerable time for most women when they have the most interface with the health care system that they might have in their entire lives. >> abby, i know you also talked to a dad who lost the mother of his child, heartbreaking story. i'm so glad you did this. i cannot wait to watch the whole thing. abby phillip, thank you very much. >> thank you guys. >> you're going to want to watch the episode of "the whole story with anderson cooper." one whole hour, one whole story. right now national security adviser jake sullivan is in ramallah in the west bank.

you are looking at breaking news right now, exclusive new cnn reporting about highly classified intelligence that went missing at the end of the trump administration. the information relates to russian election interference. information that was deemed so secret it could only be accessed at the cia and the people working with the intelligence had to keep their notes locked in another safe at cia headquarters. yet in the final weeks of the trump administration a binder of this intelligence was brought to the white house at the request of the president as part of an effort to declassify documents and in the final chaotic hours of his presidency, it went missing. cnn's katie bo lillis is part of the team that uncovered and broke this story, she joins us now. katie bo, tell us more. >> yeah, kate, so this binder that was brought to the white house contained raw intelligence that the u.s. and its nato allies had collected on russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election, including sources and

methods, which is some of the most sensitive information in the intelligence world. what we are talking about is the underlying intelligence that formed the basis of the u.s. government's assessment that russia president vladimir putin sought to help trump win the 2016 election. the disappearance this have binder was so alarming to intelligence officials that according to our sources they briefed senate committee leadership about the situation last year. we are told by one u.s. official familiar with the matter that this was not among the classified items found in last year's search of trump's mar-a-lago resort and wasn't why the fbi searched trump's residence, but what is true is that after more than two years that it has been missing this intelligence does not appear to have been found. >> what are you learning about how this intelligence ended up at the white house? >> so trump had spent years trying to declassify material that he said would prove that his claims that the russia investigation was a hoax and this intelligence was part of a massive collection of documents

that he ordered brought to the white house and there was this kind of frantic scramble in the final days of the administration to redact the documents so that they could be declassified and released publicly. on his last full day as president trump did issue a declassification order for these materials, but they didn't get released before he left office and there's actually a trump ally who has filed suit over this, hoping to force the federal government's hand, although the fbi says the majority of the contents of the binder have now been posted publicly on its foia website. my colleagues and i spoke to more than a dozen sources who described how this intelligence was brought to the white house in the final weeks of trump's presidency and then went missing. >> so are there theories? are there clues of what happened to this intelligence? >> yeah, kate, we don't know. the bottom line is we don't know what happened to the binder that went missing. there is one theory that has emerged from testimony from cassidy hutchinson, the former

top aide to former chief of staff mark meadows. she told the january 6th committee that she was, quote, almost positive it went home with mr. meadows. she said it had been kept in a safe in meadows' office when it wasn't being worked on. she also wrote about this classified intelligence in her new book claiming that on january 19th the final night of the trump presidency, she says that she saw meadows leave the white house with an unredacted binder, quote, tucked under his arm. now, we should say that mark meadows' attorney strongly denies this. he said in a statement, quote, mr. meadows was keenly aware of and adhered to requirements for the proper handling of classified material and any such material that he handled or was in his possession has been treated accordingly and any suggestion that he is responsible for any missing binder or other classified information is flat wrong. we also reached out to officials at the cia, the office of the director of national intelligence -- multiple

requests for comment which is all to say, kate, that the mystery of this missing binder remains just that, a mystery. >> absolutely. great reporting, though, katie bo. you and the team. thank you so much. john? all right. on the subject of mark meadows, happening now, attorneys for the former white house chief of staff are in court in georgia as he fights to move his election interference charges from state to federal court. this is an appeal right now. his lawyers argue that the charges belong in federal court because they were part of his job while working for former president trump. the first judge already ruled no on this, he is appealing t meadows along with trump and 17 others were charged for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. zach cohen outside the courthouse in atlanta. what do we expect today? >> reporter: john, meadows' attorneys just starting their oral arguments, they have about 15 minutes each side has 15 minutes to make their case and

meadows' attorneys will reiterate the same argument that everything mark meadows did after the 2020 election he was doing it in his capacity as trump's chief of staff and, therefore, it was part of his official duties and that should allow them to rely on a 200-year-old statute to move his case from georgia in state level court here to federal court. the hopes are by moving it to federal court meadows thinks he might have a chance to get the entire case against him dismissed. meadows not only has the best case of the 15 co-defendants remaining in this case but he's also a test case. he -- really the ruling here and ultimately the decision if he loses in appeal to the supreme court, the decision will impact several other co-defendants who are also trying to get their cases moved to federal court, but they didn't have a role like chief of staff at the time, they were various other federal employees. so we're going to have to wait and see what specifically and if meadows' attorneys change their argument given the fact like we mentioned he's already gotten rejected once, but this is a

consequential argument today and if he loses he can still appeal it up to the supreme court. >> again, this procedural matter and so many we see now get to the heart of this case which were the efforts to overturn the 2020 election part of their government work or was it political? so far every judge has decided it's political. we will see if that continues today. zach cohen, thanks for being with us. any minute now a jury will resume deliberations in rudy giuliani's defamation damages trial. there is a real possibility of a verdict today. the eight-person federal jury met for three hours yesterday weighing a potentially $48 million decision. katelyn polantz is live outside court in washington, d.c. this verdict could come today, obviously they have gotten the case, rudy giuliani did not take the stand. it did not go longer than expected. what do you know? >> reporter: well, the jury is going to be coming in any minute, the judge is on the bench, rudy giuliani is back in court, opposite ruby freeman and

shaye moss and that jury has been at work already, sara, for about three and a half hours and they are looking at numbers. they have to assign an amount that rudy giuliani will have to pay shaye moss and ruby freeman to repair their reputations. the ask there is $48 million. that is a big sum, at very least just for the reputational damage, the defamation in this case, and then the jury is also going to have to determine how much these two women should be getting from rudy giuliani because of the emotional distress, the grief, the stress that they had to go through over years, not just in the very first days after the 2020 election as he was spreading these lies, but since then as they have feared for their lives, continued to struggle with work, continued to be afraid to share their names with people, and then on top of that there is also a number the jury has to determine of how to punish giuliani and deter him

from continuing to speak about these two women with falsehoods. now, that could be a very astronomical sum. the pitch that ruby freeman and shaye moss' attorney yesterday made to the jury was that he is a very powerful figure. he absolutely should have known better, especially as an attorney with a 50-year career and as someone who had a deliberately chosen to make this campaign to sow disinformation after the election, use their names and even had donald trump using their names in a phone call with the secretary of state in georgia. michael gottlieb the lawyer for these two women said to the jury that rudy giuliani thought they were ordinary and expendable. he didn't see them as human beings. it's dangerous for them to be ruby freeman or shaye moss because of giuliani and his co-conspirators, people like donald trump and the trump campaign. that is what the jury is sitting with now and rudy giuliani on his side had very little of a case to present so now we just

wait for a verdict. sara? >> it is a remarkable case and these two women have gone through hell. the question will be in the end can rudy giuliani actually afford to pay them because he's having major problems with his own finances. katelyn polantz, thank you so much. we will wait for that verdict, i'm sure you will bring it to us when we get it. >> joining us with while we wait for that final stay for the jury is elie honig for more on this. you have long said it was going to be a bad idea for rudy giuliani to testify if he was going to in this. but saying that you're going to testify and then at the last minute change the plan and not, does that also hurt him? >> you're exactly right, kate. maybe the only thing worse than rudy giuliani actually taking the stand is promising the jury that they would hear from rudy giuliani and then not putting him on the stand. when you are trying a case if you make a promise to a jury, if you tell them you're going to hear from a certain witness, see a certain piece of evidence and then you don't give it to them

that totally undermines your credibility. that said, had rudy giuliani taken the stand, we know it would have been a complete disaster because look at the way he has been acting outside the courthouse. he is on the street defaming ms. moss and ms. freeman again. it was the lesser of two evils i think here but either way i think we're headed toward a very large verdict against rudy giuliani, a very large damages amount against him. >> i want to talk about the difference in what the jury has to decide here in terms of the damages in just a second. first and foremost, you talked about things that rudy giuliani said outside of court. here are things that his attorney said in court. rudy giuliani is a good man. i know some of you may not think that. i'm asking you to be reasonable. and then he also asked jurors to remember giuliani's reputation from years gone by, mayor of new york city after 9/11, as a prosecutor who took down the mob. saying rudy giuliani shouldn't be defined by what's happened in recent times. this is a man who did great

things. when it comes to the jury deciding the damages, does this have impact? should it have impact? >> no, kate. it's irrelevant, first of all, at best. the jury is not there passing judgment on whether rudy giuliani is or was a good human being, they're passing judgment on how much were ms. moss and ms. freeman damaged and how much does rudy giuliani need to be punished. the other thing is i think that argument actually cuts against rudy giuliani because you're reminding the jury this is a very powerful man, this is a person who knows better. this is a person -- >> yeah, he should know better. >> he was a very high-ranking prosecutor, he was the mayor and then he goes and does this. he is not at all sympathetic. i think it shows he knows better and i think it will actually backfire. >> what about the difference in damages? you expect it's going to be -- it's going to be -- i will call it heavy, right? it's going to be -- it's going to hit him hard, but you talk about compensatory and punitive.

explain this. >> yeah, so there's two different numbers that we're going to get from the jury today with respect to each of the two plaintiffs. first there's compensatory damages, how much were these women damaged, how much was the reputation harmed, how much suffering did they go through? and that's supposed to be a sort of mechanical mathematical equation, although there's of course a lot of judgment that the jury will have to bring. separate from that and on top of that is punitive damages meaning we need to send a message here meaning rudy giuliani's actions were above and beyond, were unacceptable and as the name suggests punitive damages are meant to punish. i do think we are going to see hefty numbers in both of those columns. >> that's where the you should have known better kind of calculation can definitely come into account. great to see you. thank you. we will stand by and bring you that when the jury decides and when we get that from them today. the suspects in an alleged hamas terror plot in germany are in court. what we are learning about that foiled attack. plus, obama and biden back together again. cnn has the exclusive first look

at the new video from the former president. and a big court victory for prince harry. a judge rules that a british tabloid group illegally hacked his phone. how he's responding to today's ruling and what it means up next.

right now the white house national security adviser is meeting with the leader of the palestinian authority, mahmoud abbas in the west bank. earlier jake sullivan was with israeli leaders and talked to reporters afterward about the transition in the fighting that the biden administration is expecting from israeli forces, and sullivan also downplayed any riff between the u.s. and israel over how israel is conducting its campaign to take out hamas

after the october 7th terror attack that set off this whole war. cnn's alex marquardt is live in the west bank with much more for us. alex, you asked the critical question of jake sullivan this morning. what more are you hearing about that meeting with israeli leaders? >> reporter: well, kate, it's clear that the administration is trying to make it seem like sullivan came here to, as they say, ask hard questions, to get a status update on where israel's head is in terms of where the war stands right now and where they see things going forward, but clearly there are significant american concerns about the way that this war is being waged, this humanitarian crisis, the civilian death toll and a major question, i think, that sullivan had for his israeli counterparts how much longer do you think this heavier phase of the fighting is going to continue. the expectation from the american officials we speak to is that they have been urging israeli officials to transition this war from what they're calling a higher intensity phase

which is this heavy bombing, heavy assaults, the intense fighting with hamas militants to a lower intensity phase. sullivan did not put a timeline on that, he said it is conditions based. here is more of how he described the transition into a lower intensity phase. >> there will be a transition to another phase of this war, one that is focused in more precise ways on targeting the leadership and on intelligence-driven operations that continues to deal with the ongoing threat that hamas poses. >> reporter: now, israeli leaders have not given any indication that that transition is coming anytime soon. the defense minister saying just yesterday that this war will go on for a lot more than several more months. sullivan saying that's not contradictory because there is an expectation that that lower intensity phase, the more focused fighting could continue for more months after that, but there are bigger questions here in the west bank today, sullivan meeting with the palestinian

authority president, mahmoud abbas, because there is this overarching question of who is going to govern in gaza and in the west bank following this con conflict. the u.s. has said it needs to be a revitalized palestinian authority. does that mean that president abbas is leading that palestinian authority? that could have been an elephant in the room during those discussions today. here you have the united states essentially playing a middleman between the palestinian authority and the israelis and the israelis have said clearly they don't want abbas in charge of gaza or the west bank. they don't want the palestinian authority to be governing. so major questions about what that day after as it's called will look like, kate. >> realistically what comes from the meetings in the west bank today. you're there, we will hear what happens. thank you so much, alex. sara? all right. just in we're learning that four more people connected to terror arrests in denmark are still at large. this follows the arrest of four alleged hamas members suspected of plotting terrorist attacks on european soil by german and dutch authorities.

three of the accused are due to appear before a judge in germany's federal court of justice. they were arrested on suspicion of planning attacks on jewish institutions in europe. the country's top prosecutor there says the individuals were closely linked to hamas leadership and even started searching for an underground weapons cache in europe months before hamas launched its deadly attacks in israel on october 7th. joining me christopher o'leary with the sufan group, a global security group. thank you for being here. i want to address something quickly. hamas has not been like an isis or an al qaeda where you have seen attacks that hamas has claimed to be behind in other parts of the world. is that correct? is this a different tack that we're seeing here? >> so that's accurate. historically they wanted to be perceived as a nationalistic group, although they have, you

know, islamist ideology, they have been very measured and very locally focused, as has hezbollah, but there have been occasions in the past, hezbollah after mcneil was killed where they conducted a bombing in bug gar i can't in 2012, but it was very focused. my take on this is hamas demonstrating to israel who has set the conditions for this that we can strike you anywhere. if the plot would have gone forward it would have likely been targeting directly an israeli facility or jewish population out there. >> when you hear these accusations and they are allegations at this point and you talk about hamas saying to israel we can strike you anywhere, are we pushing forward to a bigger regional conflict if this starts to happen in different parts of europe potentially of other places? >> so i think the concern is on a few different levels. number one, directed attacks like this, although i think they would be limited in scale, this is no different than after

israel said they had secured all of northern gaza and then, you know, hamas puts a video out and shoots rockets from northern gaza so they don't control t that's number one. number two, you could have diaspora who have a grievance that they are saying the imagery of the victims, the women and children coming out of gaza and this is going to move them towards mobilization. you also have, you know, individuals who are just looking for an ideology, for a grievance, for a movement and you see a lot of that. people are just out there shopping for something. they're isolated individuals and they will get behind this. the last thing i will say and i will point back to our anti-war movement during vietnam, you know, students for democratic society, sds, changed. they went from peaceful protests which were not working to becoming the weather underground movement and conducted countless bombings across the united states. so a group can morph over time. >> there have been people sort of looking at this conflict and it is devastating to the

palestinians in gaza who are not members of hamas, they are just regular citizens. it's hard to watch those images. it does make you feel just damaged inside, as well as the october 7th attacks. and what happened to israelis in their beds, in their homes. as this goes forward, as this war continues on, is there more and more and more of a chance of things going south elsewhere, of terrorist attacks as you're seeing the accusations here? >> that is the biggest concern from counterterrorism professionals. so the concern s number one, seeing this grow out of control both on the, you know -- as israel continues to conduct their strategy the way they're doing it and jake sullivan is trying to shape that, but that this is going to grow bigger and the biggest thing is the axis of resistance, the iranian surrogate groups, which is hezbollah, which is hamas, which is palestinian islamic jihad and the houthis, they have conducted attacks but have been very

measured as well. that's also messaging of what they could do. think about the shipping taking down the ship, what could they do if the gloves come off? >> christopher o'leary, it's a scary thought, but we will be watching all of this as what is going on in europe seems to be getting a bigger net here in this particular instance. thank you for your analysis. >> good to be with you. we have a cnn exclusive. what barack obama just did to help get president biden reelected.

hey, president biden, is

obamacare still a thing? is it still a thing? >> yes, obamacare, the affordable care act, biden care, whatever you call it, yes, it is still a thing. the other side has been trying to repeal it every year since its existed, but we will keep fighting to protect it. >> first on cnn, barack obama to the rescue, the former president joining us with president biden to try and clearly help shore up support for biden's reelection and the video set to be put out by the white house, the duo vowing to protect and expand obamacare and did you see what he did there, making the case you could call it biden care. promising to never g-- kevin hi tack has this reporting first on cnn. talk to me about this video and how you are hearing this fits into biden's reelection strategy. >> reporter: well, i certainly think it shows you that health care is going to be a major part

of next year's election and it's always interesting to see how this white house chooses to deploy the former president. of course he remains enormously popular among democrats and the affordable care act remains a major part of his legacy. so perhaps it's no surprise that the biden white house is choosing to choose obama to promote obamacare as open enrollment is continuing, as americans sign up for plans on those exchanges the deadline is approaching and already they've seen 7.3 million americans sign up for plans on the obamacare exchanges, that is up significantly from last year, 34%. in fact, i think it does show you that president biden does want to make health care a central issue as he gears up for reelection, particularly after former president trump vowed, again, to repeal and replace obamacare. you know, that remark from the former president it did catch a lot of democrats including here at the white house by surprise.

one, because trump tried to repeal and replace obamacare when he was in office and he was unsuccessful, but also because obamacare is significantly popular. it is much more popular than i think it was at the beginning and so a lot of americans, i think, would be surprised to hear that republicans are trying to replace it. and so as president biden gears up for reelection, it does give you an indication that he does want to make this a significant plank of his argument and you have seen him over the course of the last several weeks talk about initiatives that would potentially strengthen the law, including trying to expand drug reduction prices and reduction in drug prices, but also talking about potentially reviving the idea of a public option. that's been something that's been bandied about among president biden's aides as well. certainly as president biden looks to expand on the popularity of this law you can expect that he will talk about it more and more and he will rely on his democratic

predecessor in the white house, barack obama, the law's name sake in some ways to talk about it as well. >> you can be sure that they are happy for donald trump to talk about this as much as possible because of how popular, as you say, the data shows it is and continues to be. kevin, great reporting. thanks for bringing it to us. john? all right. the stock markets just opened, take my word for it, they are up again after reaching record highs -- oh, okay, down now just slightly, but they reached highs yesterday, the day before, it's been on an incredible run, both the dow and the s&p. the nasdaq is up 40% for the year. the average 401(k) has increased nearly $13,000. aaa reports that gas prices fell again overnight to a national average of $3.09 a gallon, that's 10 cents less than a week ago, 35 cents less than a month ago. mortgage rates just dropped,

too. with me now is cnn's matt egan and washington correspondent for the atlantic tia mitchell. there's been this run on wall street where 401(k)s have gone up with gas prices going down. it's been a december of good economic news. >> in the last week the dow is up 1,000 points in a week, above 37,000 for the first time ever. now, we know the stock market is not the economy, sometimes what's good for wall street is not good for main street, but i do think in this case it's all aligned. i think all of this should give us a lot of optimism about 2024. i mean, think about it, this was supposed to be the year of recession. instead it's really been the year of resilience. oricwely low unemployment, gdp at 5% in the third quarter, 5%. the stock market record highs, all of this is good news and it's actually being fueled of all places by the federal

reserve. i mean, the fed was like the grinch last year and much of this year, spiking interest rates, streaking out consumers and investors about recession. now the fed thinks that inflation has cooled off just enough that they may actually be able to start cutting interest rates as soon as march and that's good news for wall street and main street. >> and the mortgage rates, which were very high, stubbornly high in some ways, a dark sign while everything else has been good, mortgage rates are starting to tick down. >> seven weeks in a row of mortgage rates down, actually below 7%. they are not low, they are not low, right, if you remember three years ago they were under 3%. we may never see that again. but starting to move in the right direction. same thing on the rental side. we are starting to see asking rents fall year over year. that is a good sign. so the cost of living crisis may not be over, but it feels like it's getting a lot better and that is of course encouraging. >> all right. tia, that's the economic side of t what's the political side of

all of this? how can the biden white house use this in the biden reelection campaign? >> well, what the biden white house needs is for average voters to start feeling the pressure lifting and it's going to take some time, but i think if people see their 401(k)s doing well, they see interest rates on mortgages going down, they see the gas prices going down, if particularly the grocery bill, they start seeing some relief there, i do think overall people will start having a greater perception that the economy is doing well and that will have some benefit for president biden, but he's going to need people's feelings about the economy to change, not just the indicators. >> i want to go back to what we saw before with former president obama coming in with the current president, joe biden, talking about obamacare. david axelrod always gets mad at me for pointing this out, but

historically speaking, barack obama was very good at getting himself elected, but coattails not so much. when he went out and campaigned for other people there wasn't necessarily the evidence that he was able to pull people along right now. the contrast between obama and biden, what's the risk/reward for biden's reelection? >> well, i don't think there's risk there. i think, you know, you can argue whether there's a whole lot of reward whether obama has tangible impact. there's an argument to be made there, but i don't think anyone is saying obama is going to hurt a democrat because he helps -- he remains very popular, especially among black voters. we know democrats can't win without strong black turnout, without strong black support, and i think that's where obama can be helpful. and just the energy, you know, there's an energy kind of perception among joe biden that, you know, the president trump

calls him speedy joe biden, for example. anything you can do to get people fired up and ready to back the biden ticket i think is helpful. i think that's where he hopes to lean on former president obama throughout 2024. >> right. tia mitchell, matt egan, our thanks to both of you. sara? stark warning coming up, a dire warning from u.s. and european officials as funding for ukraine remains stalled in congress. one senior u.s. military official warning that without the crucial u.s. aid, quote, they are certain to fail without us. and an increasing case of the flu and covid has the cdc issuing a warning just before christmas. sorry about that.

new this morning, a dire warning from u.s. and european officials as funding for ukraine remains stalled in congress, despite an in-person plea from ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. one senior u.s. military official telling our jim sciutto, quote, there is no guarantee of success with us, but they are certain to fail without us. our jim sciutto joining us now to share his new reporting with us this morning. jim, so many things in this, even a timeline of a worst-case scenario for ukraine, extremely disturbing. >> reporter: no question. i've been speaking to officials on both sides of the atlantic, u.s., european officials and the read is consistent, that is, without u.s. aid, it is really dire, it's already dire today, frankly, considering stalled

progress in the counteroffensive, russia ramping up its attacks on civilian infrastructure in the winter, but taking that rug out from under them in effect, u.s. aid, it really puts them in danger of losing the war, not just stopping its forward progress, but of losing the war. that's the concern here. they're talking, as you say, about a timeline where how long could they stand up without u.s. aid and the possibility of losing european aid as well? perhaps months. a worst-case scenario of their defenses falling through by next summer. that's how bad it is and that's why there's an enormous focus right now, sara, on getting that aid passed here in the u.s. with a concern about what happens here and what affect that has on european allies as well. >> and when you talk about european allies, this morning we just heard from hungary who blocked european aid for

ukraine, the package that they were trying to put forth. what can you tell us about that? i mean, this is two fronts where both europe and the u.s. failing ukraine. >> yeah, listen, the u.s. has been the leader here, but europe gives an enormous amount of aid both in terms of weapons, financial assistance, humanitarian assistance and the concern had been that without u.s. leadership that then europe follows. in fact, u.s. congressman mike quigley, co-chair of the ukraine caucus in congress, he said to me if we go south, our allies will, too. and to your point, sara, overnight we saw one possible indication of that, eu leaders meeting in brussels, yesterday they did vote to begin accession talks for ukraine to enter the eu, but when it came to supplying further aid, they were not able to agree and it was hungary standing in the way. to be clear, those accession talks, those are going to take years so that's a far off prospect. what ukraine needs now, these officials say, is that military assistance and for now they're not getting it from the u.s. or

from europe. >> jim sciutto, you and i have both been on the front lines there watching how difficult each inch is, trying to regain territory. thank you so much. appreciate your reporting. >> thanks a lot. coming up for us, the home where four university of idaho students were murdered is now set to be demolished and what the attorneys for the accused murderer are doing inside the home until then. and a new warning from the cdc. they are begging americans to get vaccinated now. the troubling data behind this new push. we will be back.

the home where four university of idaho students were killed last year will be demolished starting at the end of the month. bryan kohberger's defense team can examine the house until the end of the day. he is accused of killing kaylee goncalves, xana kernodle, madison mogen, and ethan chapin in november of last year. the british tabloids getting a slapdown today. prince harry, the duke of sussex

won $179,000 lawsuit against mirror group newspapers. the court found mgm guilty of extensive phone hacking against harry from 2006 to 2011 and called the win a great day for truth and accountability. a spokesperson for the publisher welcomed the judgment and said it, quote, gives the business the necessary clarity to move forward from events that took place many years ago. we're just learning of another runway close call. this time damaging the tail of a jetblue aircraft. an ntsb report just released says it happened as the pilot was racing to avoid a head-on runway collision. as you can see in the video there behind me, yikes, the pilot quickly tipped the nose of the jet to take off, which hit the tail on the ground. it happened nearly two years ago when the jetblue pilot did not see the smaller plane coming directly towards the aircraft,

then had to move quickly. despite the damage, no pages w -- passengers were injured. the cdc says there is an urgent need now to boost vaccination coverage as respiratory illnesses are spiking across the country. hospitals are seeing a significant rise in people being hospitalized for flu, covid and rsv while vaccination rates for all three remain low. cnn's chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta is looking into it. the cdc sending out this call right now, an urgent need, they say. where do the numbers stand on vaccination rates? >> well, they're not great. we are sort of sleepwalking into respiratory virus season here. if you start by looking at flu overall and compare it to last year to give you some idea, vaccination rates for flu have never been great, typically below 50% or adults but even

lower this year, sort of in the mid-30s for kids and adults. if you look at covid, i sort of have made a graph for you that shows you since the beginning of vaccination what's happened. the red line was people who got the first shot, a lot. blue line, people who got the follow-up shots, but the bottom right corner there, that's the updated vaccine, kate, and it's less than 20% have gotten that so far, and then rsv, first time this has been a vaccine that's available. it's recommended for people 60 and older and there again, kate, fewer than 16% of people have gotten that shot, so, you know, i think that's what's prompted the cdc to release this alert. >> the vaccination rate on rsv, this one is really surprising to me, sanjay, just because we know how bad rsv can be in older populations and often talk go it with infants but it's really, really dangerous.

i mean, how is this -- when you look at these numbers, how is this affecting how sick people are getting this season? >> yeah, no, i mean, let me show you all of them and you're right about rsv and, you know, this has been a real challenge to get a vaccine for rsv. finally they have one, but not that effective if people aren't using it. but here's hospitalization rates. last month compared to this month, 200% increase with flu, 51% with covid and 60% increase with rsv. kate, it's not too late to still get vaccinated against these things, and there are people who are especially vulnerable because of their age or pre-existing conditions and if you look at that entire group of people it's close to 70% of the country in some way or another would be considered at higher risk. >> that's the big message here, because some might think if we have pound ourselves in the middle of the season, what's the point? we've missed the window and that's the important message, you have not missed the window to get vaccinated. it's sadly a long season and

very easy to get sick very quickly as we are heading right into the holidays. great to see you, sanjay. thank you. >> you too. have a great weekend. >> thank you. john. >> all right, exclusive new reporting, what happened to highly classified intelligence that went missing in the final hours of the trump administration?
