the white house looks south for help with u.s. border towns pleading for assistance and thousands more migrants making their way to the border. biden officials head to mexico in search of solutions. michigan keeps donald trump on its ballot a week after colorado does the opposite. michigan's highest court says the former president can't be kept off the state's primary. the decision making it more clear the u.s. supreme court may need to settle the debate. and no stalemate in ukraine. a defense official says the attack on a russian warship proves this war is far from over. ukraine is coping with retaliation. a fresh new wave of attacks

today. we're following these major developing stories all coming in right here to cnn news central. hi, everyone and welcome to cnn news central. i'm jessica dean alongside boris. happening today, president biden's latest move to stop the surge of u.s. migrants at the u.s. southern border. his top officials landed in mexico city. antony blinken and homeland security secretary are now in route to a meeting with the mexican president. the u.s. is about to make some major requests of mexico to help reduce the number of people reaching the southern border. yesterday, there was a drop of 6,000 apprehensions. that follows a huge influx of arrivals this month that had a

seven day average. >> compare that to november which was 68 # 0 a day. community leaders say some 11,000 people are waiting in northern mexico for their chance to enter the united states. we want to take you now live to the border town of eagle pass, texas. we're going to begin at the white house with priscilla alvarez. priscilla, you can walk us through the details of this meeting between secretary of state antony blinken and amlo. >> that's right, boris. these are the highest ranking officials engaged in the meetings as the u.s. seeks more help from mexico. and they want to see a series of measures taken by mexico to drive down those numbers. officials tell me that that includes, for example, moving migrants that are in the northern border of mexico further south to did congest the area and controlling railways where migrants use to quickly get to the u.s.

southern border and also providing incentives for migrants to remain in mexico and not make their way up to the border. now this all comes as an extension to the call that president biden held with mexican president andres manuel lopez obrador last week where the two agreed that additional enforcement was urgently needed. the u.s. has often leaned on mexico in moments of crisis to stem the flow. that's what they're looking for to provide relief to the border towns that are growing increasingly restless as they're overwhelmed by the surge that they're seeing at the border. as you mentioned, there's been a slight drop in numbers. yesterday that was 6,000 daily encounters. that is not sustainable and raises alarm bells. that is why this meeting has become urgent at the white house to have two cabinet officials. secretary state and homeland security to have the crucial meetings this afternoon.

boris and jessica, the beginning of the year actually started with president biden meeting his mexican counterpart in mexico to talk about tackling migration. it's nearly a year later, and they are still trying to wrap their arms around this record movement of people in the western hemisphere. >> priscilla alvarez for us at the white house. let's take you to eagle pass and rosa flores there. rosa, you've been monitoring the situation there. what is it like today? i know you've been talking with the migrants. are they aware of the fact that u.s. officials are in mexico right now and there is conversation about this? are they focused on the day-to- day? >> reporter: well, residents here in eagle pass, texas, are aware of the conversations and the talks that are happening in mexico city today. they're hoping something positive comes out of that. as for what we're seeing today, i talked to a law enforcement source who tells me so far there's been a thousand migrant

apprehensions in the del rio sector, which includes eagle pass where i am. look behind me. last week there were thousands of migrants waiting. today, if you take a look, you'll see this is an empty field. there are no migrants here right now. if you're wondering, okay, rosa you said there's a thousand apprehensions. why are we not seeing anybody? the federal government has gotten good at decompression. they move migrants from areas that are overwhelmed to areas that have capacity. and the federal government has gotten a lot of practice at this, too. because there's been surges for years now. so that's why when we talk about the large numbers. these large encounters on the u.s. southern border and then you see the images behind me, that's why they don't match. this is the federal government doing something about it to try and process the migrants in a swift fashion. now, about the impact to americans. to border communities like

eagle pass. i can tell you from talking to people in this community, there is frustration because one of the things the biden administration has done to deal with the surge is closed one of two bridges that connect to mexico. now if you're from a border town, you know you cross the border to see family in mexico, to go to restaurants, to run errands and then you go home. people here in eagle pass, texas, can't do that. these are american citizens who don't have access to the bridge. here's why. the wait to cross from mexico into the united states is 15 hours. now, people here in eagle pass say on a bad day it might be two, three hours but not 15. i talked to a texas state representative about this and he says there's a lot of frustration. take a listen. >> you know, these bridges are the life blood of a community like eagle pass. so, it is imperative that we address those local needs as

well, and that the state and the federal government understand that when they take these actions from either austin or from d.c., the people are regular our, our every day texans are the ones that end up suffering. >> reporter: now morales said he wishes texas governor greg abbott would also have a seat at the table in mexico city with u.s. secretary antony blinken and also with mexico's president. boris and jessica, as you know, that's not happening. he doesn't have a seat at the table. as you know as well, greg abbott has taken border security into his own hands, passing an immigration bill here in texas recently and so more in texas wish he did have a seat at the table. >> rosa flores for us in texas. thank you so much for that reporting and update. one of the cities asking for more federal help

responding is denver. more than 34,000 migrants have arrived in denver at a cost of $36 million to the city. denver's mayor mike johnson is joining us now. minor, thanks so much for coming on with us. we know your city has what you call a migrant dash board. it tracks denver's support given to migrants. it shows as of yesterday, there are more than 4100 people being sheltered. that's one way it appears to be impacting your city and the residents that live there. how else is this impacting denver and its residents? >> yeah. i think denver is now ground zero for america's migrant crisis. we're at this moment now. the single largest recipient city of any city in america per capita. we have two times as many migrants as the next city behind us based on our population. we received a hundred buss and more than 35,000 over the last

year. we are working hard to try and help those folks integrate successfully. we're hitting challenges. these are the ones we're pushing the federal government on. we need more resources and mostly more work authorization so folks that arrive in the country can be distributed to cities around the country. there's a way to manage this. the current system doesn't work for cities on the border and cities on the inland. >> i want to talk about work authorization in a minute. i'm listening to you describe it. why denver? why are you absorbing the most migrants right now? >> yeah, it's simple geography. we're the first big city north of elle paso. you go straight and you happen denver is the cheapest bus ticket for governor abbott or other folks to send people. that's where they send folks. many of them aren't desiring to come to denver in the first place. >> you mentioned work authorization. i want to make sure i'm understanding that right.

that are permits and authorization that allows the migrants to work and figure out the rest of it moving forward. other mayors in other cities have been pushing for more of these. is that right and do you really think that's the best way to ease some of this right now? >> yeah. the biggest challenge right now is folks will show up at the border with the claim of asylum and given a court date. i talked to a migrant last week and his court date is april 23, 2027. that's four years away. in the four years he's waiting for that case, he can't get work authorization to be able to support himself, pay for rent, pay for food. that leaves cities carrying the cost. whatever the federal government decides on terms of what the border admission policy should be, there has to be a direct match between the folks admit and had the number of people getting work authorization. if folks arrive and are able to work, we can put them to work. we have open jobs and want to

hire them. we have employers who want to hire them and a federal government that stands in the way and says they can't be hired by the employers and that's the biggest challenge for us. we need to decide on the admission policy and make sure they have the chance to work and support themselves. >> and i know you campaigned on ending homelessness in your city. for people who already lived there. and you've now described that you have what you're calling a parallel crisis. both trying to deal with homelessness that existed and this huge influx of high grants. many of whom have nowhere to go or have to live outside. that sort of thing. how do you tackle both of those issues, and how do you, the people of denver are who elected you. how do you make sure they're okay while caring for migrant who is have just arrived in your city? >> yeah. we're in the midst of a historically successful effort to get a thousand people living

unsheltered on the street into housing by the end of the year. we've housed almost 900 of them with a week to go. that will transform how denver looks and feel. we won't have outdoor camping. it will be a historic success for us. we now have more than 4,000 migrants in shelter in our though tell system in any given night. that's ten times the number we had when i took the oath of office. we are seeing more and more folks arriving and can't find work and a place to live and can also end up homeless. that'll be a huge impact on the city's budget. that's $160 million of costs were projecting. that's a massive amount for the city the size of ours. we want this to be a welcoming city and country and want to set people up for success. we have to make sure they have a path to work and accelerate the asylum claims and get the resources we need to help them find homes and jobs.

>> yeah. $160million for the city of denver projected next year. it's affecting so many american cities and towns there on the border as well. mayor mike johnson, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thanks so much for having me. an update for you a few minutes ago secretary blinken arrived for the meetings with mexico's president. new word from the state supreme court in michigan. donald trump's name will remain on the state's 2024 primary ballot. the supreme court there rejecting an effort to get him taken off the ballot. plus, power, revenge, dictatorship. three words front and center on a word cloud voters used to describe donald trump's political goals in a potential second term. why did donald trump himself repost it? we'll discuss when we come back.

so after a legal battle, donald trump's name will be on michigan's primary ballot next year. that's what the state supreme court ruled today effectively refusing to hear a case decided in a lower court that rejected efforts to ban the former president from the upcoming election. >> unlike last week's colorado ruling that removed trump from that state's primary ballot, michigan's high court sidestepped the argument surrounding the 14th amendment's insurrection ban. caitlin is here to explain. i think people look at this and say wait, this is all the same question and there are different rulings depending on the state. >> reporter: there's different rulings because the state is different.

they handle the elections and primaries different from state to state. in this situation in michigan, there never was any traction that these people were getting who were trying to take trump off the ballot. they lost at every level and then the michigan supreme court today, the highest court in michigan says we're not getting involved in this question of whether trump can be removed from the primary ballot. the courts aren't going to take part in this. he's going to stay on the ballot there. the reason that it's different and one of the justices wrote about this in the opinion we got from the michigan supreme court. it was justice elizabeth welch. she said in colorado, the colorado primaries and the law around that allow, they basically say that a candidate has to qualify for the ballot. so the courts could look at that. whereas in michigan, that law just isn't one that's on the books there. they have a different process. >> which is why in their decision they essentially said that you could potentially file a lawsuit like this when it comes to the yen election. >> reporter: right.

so appeals is this huge question of what happens next with the colorado decision there is this anticipation that donald trump and his legal team may try and get back on the ballot in colorado for the primaries. because he wants to go to the supreme court to overturn the decision there. that decision went really deep and looked at the question of whether he is, could be qualified as an insurrectionist. in michigan, they didn't get to that question. and they said come back to us in the general election. that might be a time where we could potentially look at this issue. so, there's a lot of different ways this can go in the coming months. now we're in primary season. we'll be talking about the primary ballots. at least for now. there's going to be a lot of legal questions around the general election. >> michigan such a pivotal state in 2024. before we let you go, let's talk about the filing from jack smith. we're turning to the criminal, the federal criminal case

against the former president in trying to overturn the 2020 election results. >> reporter: yes. that case is paused because he has this big appeal ongoing whether he's immune because he was president and yet the justice department are meeting the deadlines and making filings. they made a filing basically to try and cut out all kinds of defenses they think donald trump might try to make in court before the jury whenever that case goes to trial. it's set for march. they're listening closely to what donald trump says on the campaign trail and saying to the judge when this getes to trial, he shouldn't be allowed to call himself a political victim of the biden administration. he shouldn't be able to spread disinformation and saying he believes or believed at the time he won the election. it wasn't true. there wasn't the fraud. that shouldn't be part of the case. he shouldn't be able to blame law enforcement for what happened on january 6th for

failurees to protect the capitol. one of the specific thing this is this filing that the prosecutors wrote, the court should not permit the defend to turn the courtroom into a forum he propagates irrelevant disinformation and reject the attempt to put politics into the proceedings. >> so pointed and specific. caitlin, always a pleasure. thanks so much for breaking that down for us. if you're wondering what a potential second trump term could look like, the former president might be giving a hint in his latest social media trump. >> he shared a word cloud that prominently features the word power, revenge and dictatorship. those were some of the common words expressed by people when they were asked to describe what a second trump administration would be about. kristen holmes joins us now. kristen, this obviously comes several days after trump had an angry holiday rant. it seems like he believes this message about revenge appeals to his base. >> reporter: boris and jessica,

it absolutely does. he's been running on this message of revenge, power and the economy is a big word in bold. that's probably something he was trying to point out as well. remember, one of the first campaign speeches he said i'm your retribution. the other part of this to keep in mind is when you see the word dictator up there, one of the conversations around donald trump, he's used it tongue and cheek form to troll liberals and credit kicks. however, one of the conversations would be he and his allies essentially working already to try and consolidate and figure out how to do that under the executive branch. an enormous amount of power that would really be radical and unprecedented. these are things, again, he is just out there communicating. the third part of that, again, boris, as you said, this is about appealing to his base. this is a message they like to hear. particularly when it comes to

revenge, economy, power. but the other thing to point out and to keep in mind is that he wants to express that he is the stronger candidate than joe biden. this is clearly some way that he believes he is doing that. >> kristen holmes, thanks so much for the reporting from trump world as always. still ahead, how new york city is preparing for newier's eve over added concerns. the faa warning of possible flight delays as a massive winter storm blankets the east coast. not the only area to watch for severe weather. an update on your forecast in justst moments. .

so, cities around the world are preparing to ring in 2024 this weekend. here in the united states, new york city mayor eric adams says he's concerned that protest over the israel hamas war might disrupt new year's eve celebrations in time square. he has a solid security plan in place. cnn mark morales is here to explain. the legally the city has to be careful how it responds to mass demonstrations. mayor adams says new technology will play a big part. >> reporter: right, boris. that technology really sort of plays into the common theme you hear at the end of the year when we talk about security and new year's eve. some you will see and some you won't see. what are the technology advances we'll see on new year's eve? it's drones. they invested heavily in acquiring drones. they used them to help monitor

the situation in large gatherings. they'll be serving as the eye in the sky. something we won't see as much as drones is other technology advances like vehicle scanning devices. and radiation detectors. over the last couple of years, technology for both these devices has really afternooned up. they'll be able to do more than they've done in the past. while you have technology on one side, you also have the deployment of officers, which is another key component to how they're actually going to keep this event secure. mayor adams was talking about this yesterday. i asked him specifically about the security plan, and his response to me really involved the deployment of personnel. using the right amount of police officers to deploy to a certain situation. the idea being that if you take too many officers from one situation and put them in another, you're creating vulnerabilities. take a listen. >> there's something that's

known in policing, particularly when there's some type of terrorist action of secondary devices and things like that. they want to draw attention from one area to go to specific target area. we are really exercising our mental muscles to make sure that doesn't happen. people have to maintain their locations and use minimum deployment from where a particular incident is happening. so that we do not allow people to take us off of our goal. >> reporter: the nypd will be going a lot deeper into their security plan. they're expected to hold a briefing later this week where they'll explain everything from road closures to what people can bring into their pens. boris. >> mark morales, thanks so much for the update. as millions prepare to travel for new year's eve celebrations, a storm heading for the northeast could bring trouble for multiple states including new york. it comes after blizzard

concerns wreaked havoc in the midwest. they triggered close to 150 weather related is dents on christmas day. right now, a large portion of highway 30 in nebraska remains closed as a result. let's go over to chad myers who is in the weather center. chad, how are the next few days shaping up? >> reporter: well, wet for new york city, boston, philadelphia today. and also low clouds. although i'm very surprised. according to flight aware, only 140 airplanes have been canceled so far today. out of thousands and thousands in the air at this point. now, a couple thousand, 3,000 are delayed a little bit. that's typical when you have full flights and everyone is trying to get on the same flight at the same time. sometimes it takes 10 minutees to get the door closed. there's the rainfall in new york. the rain in pittsburgh and now the storm that made the snow in nebraska, colorado and kansas, it's winding down. it's lost its moisture and energy. there could be one to three

inches of snow. it's over st. louis tonight. at sunset, that could be a problem. the moisture and energy shifted to the east. that's where the rain will be. there's a slight risk of even some flooding from pennsylvania and new jersey. the delaware water gap and then there you see the light snow along the mississippi river. here is how the day shapes up. it's not over yet. we're only talking 2:30. half the planes have to leave here. if things go downhill a little bit, we'll see more and more cancellations throughout the afternoon. but for now, i am pretty impressed with only 140 canceled flights at this point. there's the storm for right now. it moves off towards the east. things dry out. i've been looking ahead to new year's might, and i don't see anything in new york city, except 40 degrees and clear skies. not so much for the west. the next storm system is on the way. everywhere across north america is above normal today. jessica. >> how about that.

chad myers with the update for us. thanks so much. tributes are pouring in for tom smothers. one-half of the fameed duo, the smothers brothers. we'll bring you that next.

now to some other headlines we've been watching beginning with the tragic update in the search for a missing pregnant teenager in texas. police believe they found 18- year-old savannah sota dead of an apparent gunshot wound near san antonio. her body, one of two found inside a car outside an apartment complex. the other body is believed to be her missing boyfriend. authorities say they're looking at it as a possible murder case, but say the crime scene is quote very perplexing. police in florida are now offering a $10,000 reward as they search for the suspect in a deadly mall shooting over the weekend. authorities are still searching for albert shell, jr., for allegeddedly killing a man and wounding a woman in ocala. they say it was a targeted attack that sent shoppers running for their lives.

time programming following their earlier career of folk singing and rivalry humor. >> you smell love, censerty, gentleness and caring and that came out every single show. >> reporter: however, the show changed dramatically with the times. but cbs began to sensor the humor, feeling it was antiestablishment. >> you got to watch yourself, tommy. no more nixon jokes. >> cbs would like to give us notice, and some of you don't like the things we say. >> reporter: the show was very different than traditional network fair. broadcasting before cable and streaming. big named stars appeared in skits to support the brothers. >> well, whether you can say it or not, keep trying to say it.

>> reporter: dead pan comedian pat paulsen did editorials on hot social issues. a younger baby boomer generation found a tv show it could connect with. >> the show has had an emotional impact. we were only on for three years. 71 shows. tom and dick smothers felt the end was near. >> we had a bit of a premonition. thingswere getting tight. the vietnam war was getting going. >> reporter: despite the popularity, cbs canceled the smothers brothers. >> cbs announced today the smolters brothers comedy hour won't return to the cbs television network next season. >> reporter: they sued cbs and received more than $750,000 in damages. >> i had lost my sense of humor after cbs. i lost my point of view. i just didn't think everything was funny. everything was serious. >> reporter: they didn't stop performing but the controversial cbs show was the height of their fame.

20 years later they hosted a reunion show on cbs. >> don't forget this was the network that fired us. >> ladies and gentlemen, mother smothers favorite son and the other one. >> reporter: tom was born 22 months before brother dick. >> it's like an old marriage. a lot of fighting and no sex. >> timing and in a relationship between the brothers. so that's where comedy come ifs. >> 50 years later i look back on us being fired and i'm still mad. >> sit down. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> i couldn't do it. >> yes. .

this year we saw buffalo bills player damra hamlin make -- dominate the world of weight loss. >> it was the year we saw new ways to tackle critical drug shortages and scientific breakthroughs that have implications for the future.

cnn dr. sanjay gupta has the top health and wellness stories of 2023. >> 2023 may best be described as an incredible year of breakthroughs and invasion and a year of continuing to deal or not deal with basic ongoing health problems. our team has had many moments to reflect, be inspired, learn and redouble our efforts to make all of you happier, healthier and more informed. let's kick things off with number ten of the top ten health stories. >> i don't like how he went down. >> january 2, 2023, the very beginning of the year. buffalo bills' safety demar hamlin goes into cardiac arrest on national tv. >> we're going to need everybody on call. >> a quick response not only saved hamlin's life but brought

national attention to the importance of cpr and the nfl's safety protocols that i saw firsthand. the medical team was able to get to hamlin within 10 seconds. speed really matters here. every additional minute someone in cardiac arrest goes without cpr, mortality goes up by up to 10%. number nine. you've probably never heard of fentyl efrin. this year, an fda committee said contrary to popular belief, it was not effective as a nasal decongestive in tablet form. while we wait for a final decision, some stores have already said it will no longer sell medications that contain this as the only active ingredient. don't worry, though, there's lots of other options out there. number eight. >> a breakthrough treatment for

sickle sell disease. >> a bleak through for modern medicine. >> johnny is one of the first people in the world to have his genes edited using crisper to change his genes. >> i might be worried i might get super powers or something. >> in december the fda approved the first ever treatment to use the technique known as crisper. crisper allows scientists to precisely cut and modify dna, which could then potentially treat and even cure certain diseases, such as sickle cell, but also cancer, even parkinson's. the 60 year scientific quest has given us the first rsv vaccine. >> for the first time, we have vaccines available to fight the respiratory triple that --

threat of covid-19, flu, and rsv. we saw cases of rsv come back with a vengeance reminding us of the importance of vaccination especially for the most vulnerable. >> he was being admitted in trying to destabilize. >> we were sleepwalking into this triple threat season, but there is still time. >> it is not too late to get vaccinated if you have not already. >> number six. >> there are more than 300 drugs on the fda shortages list. >> more than 90% of cancer centers say they are impacted by shortage. >> one of the richest countries in the world that spends trillions on healthcare, yet we currently have the highest number of drug shortages in a decade. laura gray had to call hundreds of children's hospitals or self to try to find chemo treatment for her daughter in the process, she started a movement . she's channeling what she's learned into a national effort to predict which effort will

shortage, and to produce them without. >> you see this coming off the line, what is that like for you? >> what i see is each one of those being filled up 7-9 nicu babies will be spent -- fed today. >> the fda has approved a new alzheimer's drug. >> there is new hope for those with early alzheimer's. >> i look at my phone and read the names, a lot of them do not mean anything. >> the first drug to show slowing down of the debilitating disease in part by removing alloy plaques from the brain. it is not a cure, clinical trials found it can slow down the onset of more severe symptoms. number four, loneliness. >> i'm concerned about our children because there is an epidemic of mental health

challenges. >> coming out of the pandemic, loneliness and social isolation have become a key public health issue for young and old alike. the surgeons general normally known for things like curbing smoking had a rare convening to raise the public health alarm about this topic. >> have to look at my three teenagers every day and no that i'm not handing them a better world in a world that was left to me. a lot of that is because of our failure to really focus on mental health. >> it is a massive problem that disproportionally affects americans, at the same time, small moments of human connection, smiling, just saying hello, those are all steps we can take toward a solution. number three, the ripple effects of overturning roe v wade. real life stories, and unimaginable decisions. >> the doctor is clear with you

about what her chances were surviving. >> they told us there was no chance, they said either she would be stillborn or she would die within a few hours. >> a ruling by a texas judge set the fate of mifepristone, used for abortion and miscarriage management into legal limbo. the family is already feeling affects, the final decision will now be taken up by the supreme court. >> their concerns or if medical abortions are no longer accessible, what is the reproductive of rights restricted even further? >> number two. it helped us lose weight, demand for weight loss and diabetes drugs like these have skyrocketed, 1 trillion health analysis found in the final three months of last year, an estimated 9 million prescriptions were written for these kinds of medications, that is a 300% increase since 2020 and push manufacturing lines to run practically nonstop this year.

>> demand is high and we are doing everything we can to stand up and supply. >> that has also resulted in shortages, knockoffs, and growing awareness of side effects including nausea, vomiting, and stomach paralysis. these drugs have been proven to be effective and a welcome tool to combat obesity, number one, we have talked about the dark side of ai. this is a bright spot, healthcare. >> while the message is still to proceed with caution, we have scenic limbs of how artificial intelligence could change healthcare and identify new antibiotics to detect breast cancer, it may not ever, hopefully ever replace your human doctor, it could help enhance patient care and even as we saw help someone walk again. >> happy new year, i look forward to a lot more in 2024.
