12:00 am
you can come out of the shadows. barack obama puts his executive power to use on immigration reform. we'll have more on what the deal includes, and who's left out. >> inevitable backlash from the republicans. they say the president has rewritten constitutional rules to suit himself. >> buffalo, new york. enormous amount of snow still threatens buildings and homes. now there's concerns about what happens when all of that begins to melt. and iran's nuclear deadline draws closer. cnn lifts the lid about what ordinary iranians think about a
12:01 am
possible deal. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. >> snuck in here to be next to you. i'm errol barnett. >> the u.s. president, barack obama, said it's time to take steps to fix the country's immigration system. he announced executive action that will shield up to five million illegal immigrants from deportation. the centerpiece of this plan would let the undocumented parents of u.s. citizens apply for work permits, so long as they've been in the u.s. for at least five years. but mr. obama stressed that his plan does not grant citizenship alone. >> we expect people who live in this country to play by the rules. we expect that those who cut the line will not be unfairly rewarded. so we're going to offer the following deal. if you've been in america for more than five years, if you have children who are american citizens or legal residents, if you register, pass a criminal background check, and you're
12:02 am
willing to pay your fair share of taxes, you'll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily without fear of deportation. >> knowing there would be backlash, mr. obama made a special point to defend his plan against criticism from republicans who say it oversteps his authority. take a listen. >> the actions i'm taking are not only lawful, they're the kinds of actions taken by every single republican president and every single democratic president for the past half century. >> republicans wasted no time criticizing the president's proposals. cnn correspondent eric mcpike is in washington to break it down for us. aaron, let's just talk about the battle he's up against with republicans. how are they likely to respond to his speech? i've heard everything from lawsuits to impeachments, to thwarting his future nominations. we know other presidents have used executive powers, george w.
12:03 am
bush, ronald reagan, clinton. >> natalie, the oklahoma governor has already suggested suing him. but impeachment is rather unlikely, a bit of a last resort. congressman steve king of iowa, a very conservative republican and a very vocal opponent of immigration reform, at least creating a path way to citizenship for undocumented workers. he made some comments tonight on cnn about some of the things republicans could do, not as outlandish as you may think. listen here to those comments. >> i would like to start with the most minimal thing we can do to put the president back into the constitutional guard rails and then step it up. that's why i say a resolution of disapproval, second, a censure, third, a disapproval of the funds that would fund this. that's the progressive effort of this moving forward. but i don't want to do the last thing, i don't want to do the
12:04 am
"i" word. the president has thrown us into this situation and now there are 535 members of congress who have taken an oath to uphold the constitution. >> but censuring of obama, which is one of the things he mentioned there is something they are likely to do. it's sort of akin to a bad headline, it's really just a warning, but also threatening funding for some of his other measures, not just this, but other things is a way that the republican can really block the president, something we expect them to do. they could refuse to pass a major spending bill that would fund the government, which they did a year ago, as you may remember. president obama urged them not to do that tonight in his remarks earlier. and lots of republican leaders are saying that's probably not something they'll do this time, natalie. >> and then there's thinking ahead to the 2016 elections. what are the implications there? especially when it comes to the hispanic vote. >> look at this comment that
12:05 am
hillary clinton made earlier tonight on twitter, thanking the president for doing something about this because congress isn't. but she ultimately said congress should pass a bill that could override the president's actions here. i also point out that advocates for immigration reform and many in the hispanic community are saying the new rules don't go far enough, because they don't extend to all immigrants, and it also doesn't allow any of them access to government health benefits like under the affordable care act. so you can expect that hispanic voters will be looking for more of that if this issue is debated further, and if congress does take up legislation next year, listen for republicans who are running for president to be extra careful about how they position themselves. because if they're too harsh and offer too little support in the way of reform, it definitely could hurt them with the hispanic vote when it comes to the general election. but you've got to remember, they've got to get through that big messy republican primary
12:06 am
first. >> all right, erin, much more to come, we thank you from washington, live. over to errol. >> one of the key questions, what's the reaction been in the key states to border mexico? it's been mixed. texas governor rick perry says the president's decision will lead to more illegal immigration, not less. he says it's time for the president and congress to secure the u.s. border, followed by meaningful reforms. arizona governor jan brewer, who's been at odds with the president over a number of issues, including immigration, says there, quote, when the president constantly refuses to enforce existing laws, disregards the will of the people and creates his own policies based on personal preferences, we shift from democracy to one of tyranny. and on the other end of the spectrum, jerry brown from california said the president stepped up for hard-working families across america. he said it's the right thing to do and it's time for congress to
12:07 am
finish the job. >> so we'll continue taking the pulse from many corners on this. much more on in this hour, including an interview i did earlier with a u.s. congressman who says he's optimistic about the deal despite the political wrangling we'll see. have that for you in 20 minutes. live now to kiev where ukraine's leaders are marking the first anniversary of the uprising. a year ago, they suspended a pact with the european union which led to the outing of the president. in just a few hours, u.s. vice president joe biden and the president of ukraine, poroshenko will host a joint news conference. >> hearing some yelling there, hopefully things stay calm. still to come on cnn, riot police forcibly clear protesters
12:08 am
in mexico city as outrage mounts over the case of dozens of missing students. also, violence in the middle east has driven a deeper wedge between israelis and palestinians. we'll go live to jerusalem for the latest.
12:09 am
in the last few hours, a chaotic scene in mexico city, on a square where demonstrators gathered to protest the government's response to the
12:10 am
disappearance of 43 students who are believed dead at the hands of the cartel. police used fire-extinguishers who disperse people who they say threw molotov cocktails in front of the national palace. people understandably outraged. >> very controversial, what happened to those students. israeli police say a palestinian man has confessed to running over israeli soldiers in the west bank. >> we want to warn you, the video that we have is graphic. authorities say a 23-year-old admits to running the vehicle into the soldiers. shortly after what happened, he claimed it was an accident. but police now say he was inspired by an act in jerusalem that killed israelis. >> in one of those incidents that fueled tensions in the
12:11 am
area, we're joined live to discuss this. many will be on their way to friday prayers, but it's safety that's taking a high priority on people's minds these days. what can you tell us? >> well, yes, things are trying to get back to normal here, but it still remains fairly tense. it's friday, a day that normally with friday prayers happening, something that security is paramount, but we understand from the police there will be no restrictions so far on people who can go pray, for example, at the al aqsa mosque in the old city. so we're waiting to see really how it turns out today. so far, things have remained calm, for example in east jerusalem where i was yet, there were police out, roadblocks stopping and checking people randomly. and overnight, in the area where the synagog attack came from, there was a morning tent there
12:12 am
and police fired tear gas and there was a response from the residents of rock-throwing and scuffles there. so things are tense in the city, but so far, overall, it remains calm. >> and what about the behavior of the israeli government and the policies of demolishing homes, and an apparent refusal to hand over bodies for burial. what is that about? >> yeah, what's happening, the israeli government has said that the homes of these attackers will be demolished. this is really revival of an old policy that they haven't used for more than ten years now. but according to the israeli government, they see the demolishing of homes as a deterrent that will prevent future attacks, that maybe attackers will think twice if they realize the consequences on their families and loved ones. but critics say it's really more
12:13 am
collective punishment. in fact, instead of deterring attacks, it encourages more violence. we were at a neighborhood yesterday where one of those homes had been demolished. while we were there, actually, the public security minister showed up to take a look at the damage, speaking to riot police there, and you could feel the tension as police were out there. residents clearly very unhappy. so it's that sort of state of mind now here in jerusalem, that tension that continues to build, and fears that there could be another attack. >> live for us from jerusalem, just past 10:13 in the morning ahead of what many hope is a peaceful weekend. atikka, thanks. more about the attack on a campus in the state of florida. a gunman who opened fire at florida state's main library, may have sent packages to some of his friends beforehand. myron may wounded three students before he was shot and killed by police after he ignored orders
12:14 am
to drop his weapon. one of the students he shot is in critical condition. fill wsc reports recipients of the packages are not aware of what is inside. and police are telling them, don't touch them. call police if they're delivered. we want to bring you an oil platform off the coast of new orleans has exploded. at least one person is dead. three more are injured at this hour. officials say the platform wasn't in production and no pollution reported. there's no word on the cause. but that information in to cnn. an oil platform off new orleans has exploded. now, a new report by the united nations is painting a bleak picture of the story in eastern ukraine. this video kind of paints the picture as well, doesn't it? it says more than 4,300 people have died in fighting between pro-russian rebels and government troops since the conflict began seven months ago.
12:15 am
nearly a thousand of those have happened since the shaky ceasefire in september. russian president putin is keeping a close eye and warning against uprisings in his own country. >> on thursday, he said moscow must stop extreme imp in particular, he warned against sites that recruit young people. mr. putin specifically mentioned people in former soviet republics known as the color revolution. >> i would like to add in the modern world, extremism is used to rearrange influence. we see the consequences of the wave of so-called color revolutions, the turmoils in the country that have undergone the irresponsible experiments. we take this size a lesson and a warning, we must do everything necessary to ensure this never
12:16 am
happens in russia. >> mr. putin also warned of outside interference, particularly by the west. all right, still to come for you here on cnn, a resignation may be in the works for the officer at the center of a teen shooting outrage in the u.s. also ahead, warmer temperatures are in the forecast for buffalo, new york. they got hit with that massive snowstorm, but actually the warmer temperatures could now make the situation there even worse. garrett van damme has more on that in just a moment.
12:17 am
12:18 am
12:19 am
welcome back. cnn has learned ferguson police officer darren wilson could announce his plans to resign from the force on friday. you may remember wilson is the white officer who shot and killed unarmed black teen michael brown back in august. this is interesting, our analysts have said, because a grand jury's decision on whether to indict wilson could also come as early as friday. >> seems like something is brewing now in ferguson. missouri's governor meantime has already declared a state of emergency, calling up the national guard. ferguson police chief thomas jackson says his local officers will still patrol the streets this weekend. he spoke with cnn's erin burnett. >> i'm running a response here locally, and we'll still be -- the ferguson police department will still be patrolling the city of ferguson throughout all this. but we are a smaller department and this is a much larger,
12:20 am
regional issue. and the chief of police for decades, i have absolute confidence in his ability to see us through this thing. >> you've come under a lot of pressure, as we all know. you've had local authorities saying, chief jackson, step aside. the attorney general spoke about the ferguson police force saying, i think it's clear that the need for change in that department is appropriate. you had mccaskill saying something along those lines. you've said you want to be part of the solution. do you still think that being part of the solution means staying in your job as the police chief? >> yes, i intend to see this thing through. i've been working with a lot of community members to work on some progressive changes that will bring the community together and to open up dialogue and getting us all talking about serious issues and actually creating solutions to problems. so, yes, i think e-- i think i
12:21 am
can see this through and come out on the other side with the community, the region, and even the country a whole lot better. >> if there's one thing we've learned from the michael brown incident, there's a racial divide. in your community, you know the numbers, but 66% of ferguson's population is african american, there are only three black officers out of 63 according to the numbers we have. do you think the racial breakdown in ferguson needs to mirror the breakdown of officers in your police force? >> we have four african american police officers, but we continue to work on recruiting african american and other quality minorities to increase diversity in the police department. that's been a goal of ours for a long time. it continues to be. we fully intend to double our efforts to increase that. >> i understand your point, but obviously in your community,
12:22 am
african americans are not minorities, 66% of the population. you're saying it's that they're not applying for jobs. is that the problem? >> with the pool of candidates is generally pretty small. as you can understand, there's larger police agencies in the region that can offer more diversity of opportunity within the ranks. so we're working real hard to do things to help us recruit and retain quality applicants. >> i want to play you this video. i know you've seen it before, but this is darren wilson leaving the police station after he shot michael brown. in the video, he looks okay. it's just a video from a surveillance camera. in august, i know you spoke to our jason carol and said wilson was treated for a swollen face. i know you didn't see him personally. have you seen any evidence of officer wilson's injuries since you last spoke to cnn? >> no. i specifically kept myself away from all the evidence in this case so that the county and the
12:23 am
prosecuting attorney's office could conduct a fair and impartial investigation without interference. >> you caused a stir recently when you said if he isn't indicted legally he could return to his job. i understand you're making a legal point, but have you talked to him about whether or not he'll return to the police force if he is not indicted? >> i have not talked to him about anything since the first few days after the shooting. >> and i guess the question is, given the environment in ferguson right now, just as a hypothetical question, but an important one, do you think officer wilson would be safe as a police officer in ferguson, if he came back and did that? >> well, that's a discussion that we're going to have, you know, once all the investigations are over. as you know, we still have a federal investigation coming up. so, that's a discussion down the road. >> and again, we've learned that
12:24 am
darren wilson could announce plans to resign from the police force in ferguson. nothing confirmed yet. we'll continue to follow that story. if there's a development, we'll bring it to you. all right, day three of an epic lake-effect snow event brought an additional two to three feet of the white stuff in parts of western new york state. pretty incredible. >> really incredible. up to seven feet of snow. you can translate that for our international viewers, derek van damme is with us for more about that. >> 216 centimeters. >> knew you could do it like that. >> mental calculator, on. but the good news is, the snow machine is slowly starting to, well, turn off, i should say. and the big dig is starting to commence. let's talk about the latest radar coming out of that area. here's the two snow events that brought the heaviest snowfall over the western parts of new
12:25 am
york, but notice how they've shifted south of buffalo. erie county, hardest hit with 216 centimeters of snowfall, 85 inches, or seven feet, however you look at it. but that snowfall has migrated south, another six to 12 hours of accumulating snow in the counties south of erie county where the heaviest of snow occurred over the last few days. they're breaking this down into tuesday, you can see the line of snow for buffalo, and on thursday where they received again an additional two to three feet of snowfall near erie county, but now the winds have changed and the snow machine is starting to turn off. here are the snowfall winners or losers, whichever way you look at it. 216 centimeters, seven feet. never in my broadcasting career have i seen something like this. quite impressive. and the visuals out of that area are impressive as well.
12:26 am
we'll get to that in just a second. but what's more important, we look forward in the next couple days, we have a big warm-up in store. the shading of blue across western new york, that's rainfall. so we're talking about warming temperatures and the heavy snow pack that's already in place. talk about the visuals quickly so you can see what i'm describing. brave emergency crews carrying people, taking any mode of transportation available. but pay particular attention to the amount of snow on the roofs of people's houses there. four feet. that's equivalent to around, if you come back to the graphics, nearly 50,000 pounds of white. look out for the possibility of roof collapses, and as temperatures warm up, flooding is a concern for monday, tuesday, and wednesday of next week. that is all the time we have from the world weather center. but we have more news and headlines after a short break. see you then.

12:30 am
you're tuning in to cnn, thanks for staying with us. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm errol barnett. here are the top headlines we're following for you right now. >> president barack obama has put forward america's most sweeping immigration reform in decades, and all by executive order. his plan offers some five million undocumented immigrants temporary protection from deportation. >> this was the chaotic scene in mexico city just a few hours ago. the demonstrators gathered to protest the government's response to the disappearance of 43 students. police used fire-extinguishers who disperse some protesters who they say threw molotov cocktails in front of the national palace.
12:31 am
with japan in a recession, prime minister shinzo abe has set up elections december 14. days ago, he said he'll day plans for a second sales tax increase due next year. he'll delay that until 2017. now back to our top story. president obama's immigration order caps years of bitter debate in congress. he called on lawmakers when he first became president and again when he was re-elected two years ago. mr. obama says, at this point he was forced to take action, but he still wants to see legislation. >> to those members of congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where congress has failed, i have one answer. pass a bill. i want to work with both parties to pass a more permanent led
12:32 am
legislative solution. >> here's a shocker, republicans are promising a fight. steve king is suggesting a resolution of formal censure for the president. >> king says a budget battle that could shut down the government cannot be ruled out. >> i want to fund this government, i want to keep this government open, but if they ask me to vote for an appropriations bill that funds an constitutional act on the part of the president of the united states, i'm bound by my oath, as he should have been bound by his. >> democratic congressman from texas, who represents a large hispanic constituency, i spoke with him earlier about his reaction to the president's announcement. >> there are some good points about what the president's doing. you know, we've talked about the five million, but the other part is the part that he's going to allow high skilled workers or graduates or entrepreneurs to be
12:33 am
able to work for some of our tech companies and stay here. i think it's so important because when you look at what's happening with our tech companies, a lot of times they don't have the engineers, they don't have the right number of folks. what's happening is, we're training a lot of the students are coming in from other countries. then they leave because they can't stay here. then they turn around and compete against us. so what other place do you train your own competition like we do here in the united states? so that part, i think, is going to be very helpful for our economy. >> and how do you think the latino community will respond to this? we've heard how the republicans have responded. so it's very likely to get mired in some serious political situation. some believe it will ultimately be taken up by the supreme court, but what about the latino community? what have you heard? >> i've talked to some folks already. first of all, the latinos and hispanic community is not
12:34 am
monolithic. the ones that want to see this immigration reform are going to be excited about this. i've already got some calls saying, who exactly is going to be covered by this. but the other folks have been here for a while, like, for example, my father was born in mexico. became a legal resident, then a naturalized citizen. the folks that have been here for a while, they don't want to get the impression somebody's going to jump over them. this is not going to happen. because we're not talking about amnesty or the about the doing any classification. he's just doing what ronald reagan and president bush, the father did, and that is provide a reprieve from deportation to hopefully give congress a time to pass immigration reform. >> yes, certainly this president has seen many deportations under his watch. do you have faith that this will play out with congress?
12:35 am
>> well, you know, this is the most "do nothing" congress in modern history. but i'm an optimist. i'm hoping that eventually our friends on both sides of the aisle will sit down in a bipartisan way and pass immigration reform. but if you take a look at our track record, it hasn't been very successful. but i'm hopeful. >> to talk more about this, we'll bring in our senior latin american affairs editor. rick perry is saying this plan will lead to more illegal immigration. the number president obama is referencing is five million that will be impacted by what he wants to do. but what's the real story? >> let's begin with texas, like you said, a state that used to be a part of mexico. the republic of texas. a state that's seen a lot of immigration issues over the years. and it's a state that it is a mirror image of what most of the
12:36 am
country is thinking about this issue. and the opinion is split right down the middle with republicans who tend to be more conservative, saying this is not a good idea. this is blanket amnesty for people who broke the law and democrats saying, let's give them a chance, they've been here long enough, they deserve credit for the work they've done and the taxes they have paid. we got reaction from, of all places, an rv park in donna, texas, and i just want you to hear what these people say, and what are the issues they care most about. let's take a listen. >> think maybe we should give them a chance, those that have been here a long time and their children have been here, i don't want in tearing families apart. >> if they're here legally, but not to allow -- we have veterans that need home, and these people in here illegal, no, i'm all the
12:37 am
way against it. we should take care of what we've got here, our own people that are in need. >> so we're hearing this around the country. family values on the one hand, and then rule of law on the other hand. now, there are some numbers that give you a better idea of what we're talking about. and the pew research centre has that 3.8 million out of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants would benefit from this. who will benefit the most, parents with children under the age of 18 who are american citizens. what the president says is that it would not be fair to separate these families by deporting the parents and allowing the children who are citizens, who can stay here, to stay here. >> and even the woman we just heard from agrees with that, they don't want to see families torn apart. but the president also said doing nothing is amnesty because they are in the country and something needs to be done. fantastic to have you with us.
12:38 am
thanks so much. >> thank you. all right, still to come for you, world leaders and iran, they're running out of time to reach a deal on a nuclear program. >> we're live with details on how the negotiations are going when we come back.
12:39 am
12:40 am
welcome back. negotiators have until monday to hammer out a deal over iran's nuclear program. at this point, there's no sign that iran or any of the world
12:41 am
powers are willing to make any significant concessions. still let's bring in our reza sayia who is monitoring the situation from tehran. none of us know how the talks are going, but are there any indicators we can read into? the fact that these talks are ongoing is in and of itself a good sign. >> yeah, errol. these two sides have done a very good job in keeping the talks secret. so it's unlikely we'll get any substantial information until we get an official announcement. but as we approach the deadline on monday, each side is seeming to suggest that it's the other side that's not making the tough decisions, the tough concessions. that seems to suggest -- [ inaudible ] -- iranians, all of them are eagerly waiting the outcome. if you know anything about the iranian population, you know they're savvy and politically aware, but rarely are their
12:42 am
voices in the international media. when we come to iran, we want to change that. we want to hear from them. here's how we went after them to hear from them, and here's what they had to say. ♪ >> in the islamic republic of iran, it's in the papers, on tv, on everyone's minds oot nuclear talks between iran and the world powers. with the deadline for the talks fast-approaching, everyone here has an opinion. so we came to the square, set up a cnn open mike with this question -- do you want a nuke deal? >> translator: yes, we want a deal. everyone would like a deal. >> translator: we've reached a point where we have to solve this issue. >> translator: no one wants conflict. >> translator: 100%, i want relations with america. there's nothing wrong with having relations with america,
12:43 am
as long as they don't use us. >> translator: i have two sons and they're sitting at home unemployed. if there's an agreement, the world will open, people can travel. we'll have more jobs. >> translator: you can't deny it. >> translator: all the countries problems are linked to sanctions, high prices, and shortage of goods. >> translator: i think we need to think about our needs. it's our right to have a nuclear program. >> translator: i demand my government not to sign an agreement if iran's rights are not honored. we paid key price to give up our rights now. we should never back down. >> translator: even if we give up our nuclear program, the other side won't accept it. whatever happens, they think of something new. >> translator: i think all of this is a gs is a game. it's a farce. and iranians know this. it's a game. >> translator: i want peace. i want an agreement so people can live in peace.
12:44 am
[ inaudible ] >> hey there, we're back with you after a few technical issues there. interesting to hear some of the opinions -- go ahead, reza. we were just listening to some severe the opinions in tehran. [ silence ] >> okay, reza, thanks so much joining us live from tehran around 12:14 in the afternoon, getting opinions on people in the country, as these nuclear talks with iran and western nations continue ahead of monday's deadline. i would imagine it's kind of challenging for our teams to bring us live shots, but they do a good job though we had an audio problem there at the end. >> that's true.
12:45 am
we've been talking about buffalo because of the people killed in the snowstorm. but brazil is suffering through one of the worst droughts in decades. >> stunning stuff when you consider this part of the world. we're joined now from the international weather center. how bad has this drought been, derek? >> it's of epic pro portions. if only we could receive some of the moisture in new york and transplant that into southwestern brazil. this is the worst drought they've experienced in several decades. let's get to the bottom of it and show you some incredibly photos coming out of this area. this is one of the many reservoirs that are quickly drying up. dwindling to 3 to 5% of their storage capacity. so you can just see how dramatic the decrease in water in across this area. and sao paulo and the country of
12:46 am
brazil is entering into its wettest months, november to december and january and february. but we haven't had the rainfall replenishing the normal amounts of water in this area over the past several years -- or the past three years. this has led to an exceptional drought with the bull's eye landing right over sao paulo state, even extreme drought conditions extending inland towards the country of brazil. let's look at some of the visuals out of that area. this is callis a system of five reservoirs that provides water to 20 million people. this area is just seeing critical water levels. it's even using pumps to access more water from other sources. you can see just the dried river
12:47 am
beds that usually feed these reservoirs are completely barren. officials estimate it would have to rain three years at normal levels just to get back to a comfortable state in that region. bring you back to my graphics and zoom into sao paulo. we'll talk about a major reservoir feeding this area. this is an image from nasa taken last year in august. you can see the reservoir across this area. fast forward by a year. you can see the brown outline around the reservoir, this is called the bathtub ring. a good indicator the water levels have fallen off dramatically. it's impacting all kinds of things, like crops, and some are already rationing water. that's all the time we have from the world weather center. we'll break for just a quick moment.
