hello. welcome. glad to be with you. >> good to have you here. a lot to get to this hour. coming up right now, more international condemnation after the u.s. report on cia tactics. some of the cloudic critics played an essential role in facilitating torture. and we will be back. hong kong's pro democracy activist promised to keep change as a they are forced to clear out of their protest sites. and a hawaiian fisherman rescued after 12 days at sea in a sailboat. >> i'm a normal human being.

i'm no one special. >> she certainly is. a humble reaction from the youngest ever noble laureate. she speaks to cnn. first worldwide reaction is pouring in after the u.s. senate release of the cia interrogation tactics. many nations condemning the u.s. for the cia's use of torture. >> what's interesting is some western allies are toning down their criticism slightly. >> on a trip to turkey can, britain's prime minister spelled out what the cia for years ignored. >> torture is always wrong. those of us who want to see a safer, more secure world, who want to see this extremism defeated, we won't succeed if we lose our moral authority. >> reporter: what cameron did not spell out that britain itself may have been come police it is in the cia torture

program. a previous government led by tony blair say kuzed of helping to send terror suspects to libya in 2004 knowing they would be tortured. he is accuse of helping his allies run a island. the court of human rights said that poland allowed them to torture suspects at a facility there. on wednesday, former polish president denied knowing what u.s. agents were doing but admitted he had given the cia what he called a quiet place for operations. he warned the u.s. could lose international cooperation if it publicly revealed too much information. the americans by publishing this report in large part lose their allied abilities. because in a new situation every

country would be wondering to what extent it could be trusted will be possible to implement. >> british a man was locked away three year and much of the time in guantanamo. >> essentially what this does is it admits there's torture, but what it doesn't do is give any accountability. >> countries with their own dire human rights records like china and iran and a former taliban diplomate have been quick to condemn the cia. that echos a warning by poland's former president that going public on torture may have a propaganda coup to america's foes. >> i think this report is something the kremlin accepts as a confirmation of the theories or an unexpected christmas present. >> reporter: clearly some on the international stage believe the u.s. admission of torture does not go far enough.

others seem to wish the u.s. would stay quiet and cover its tracks. cnn, london. now the former u.s. vice president is not mincing his words about his opinion of this report. dick cheney among many other things says this is full of crap. >> he is defending it and maintaining the harsh tactics produced intelligence and prevent further attacks on the u.s. other top officials from the bush administration call the report biassed and inaccurate. take a look. >> i don't know how much of this report is accurate, how much of it is biased, how much is political. i think it is unfortunate we didn't have republicans sign on to this report. i think we need an unbiased, bipartisan examination of how we fight the war on terror. this document, in my judgment, does not reflect that. >> what stunned me about the report most was the fact that it was written and the way it was

written. it is an unrelenting, prosecutorial document with no sense of rhnumeration. it was based on a four year fishing expedition. i think they actually began with the conclusion and worked back ward in to that sea of documents in order to create a case for each of the conclusions. >> the report clearly controversial. a lot of tempers flaring. senator john mccain was one of the few americans to support the release of this report. he talked about it on wednesday. >> all i know is the fundamental issue is the issue is not about them. it is about us. what kind of nation we are and what our standards of behavior are. obviously we would have liked to see bipartisan agreement.

even the most steadfast opponents of this admit that things happened that shouldn't have. in fact, things we outlawed, legislation of mine, detainee treatment act that outlawed this kind of behavior and was already in violation of the geneva con venges not only that we observe but largely wrote. >> we should note that when senator mccain speaks on this issue, people listen. mccain himself was a victim. >> he knows what he's talking about. >> he was a victim of torture when he was held captive during the vietnam war. for him as a republican to say that certainly does mean something. it is just past three in the afternoon in hong kong. another big story we are watching. authorities are telling protesters to leave now or face arrest. >> some of them are actually willing to face arrest. those are live pictures there. you can see in there some police walking down the street, telling

protesters to take down the tents, telling them to move as soon as possible through this main pro democracy site. some arrests, by the way, have been made. protesters have been camped out there for 2 1/2 months, around 11 weeks demanding open elections for the 2017 position for chief executive. >> let's zoom in closer and connect with our reporter in hong kong. show us around and point out resistance you have seen. so far, the only resistance i have seen, especially on social media has been in the form of so-called glitter bombs left behind as a nuisance. what are you seeing?

>> if you can hear me, show us around. >> i can just about hear you here. warning time is over. you can see how people live here. their clothes are hanging and a sorry looking umbrella from the umbrella movement left behind. let me tell you why. let's bring you around and show you why. take a look at all of these police officers. the site is on lockdown. they have surrounded the area and are waiting for people to clear out. they are telling them to move down this way. so they have now only left one

part of the entire area open where they have to move out, where they will have to register and they will have to give their identification for potential future prosecution. anyone who's now staying, post lockdown, could face prosecution. there are still a number of people here. with we have seen people clearing out, slowly but surely. the police have come in fast from every part, every opening and side road. as they have come down, let me take you through them. as they have come down, they have cleared these rows and pushed everything to the side. if you look down here, this is where the police have come down, pushing these tents. pushing everyone's belongings to the side. let's take you across the other side of this highway. believe it or not it was once a major highway. it will be returned to that now. again, they pushed everything to

the side to bring in everyone to clear this out. so the -- is gone. the warnings are over and it is time for the police to take action now. many say we will wait and face arrests. others have said i don't want to risk it. >> a lot of police left to clear out the remnants of what the demonstrators had. i know we had a communication issue. it was the bus company that filed the injunction. this done on the basis of transportation. we will connect with you next hour and see how things are progressing. i want to turn to afghanistan. five suicide bombers are dead. the defense ministry says 12

others have been wounded. the taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. this after troops prepared to shift their mission from combat to training and advising the afghan troops at the end of the month. we are seeing some wild stuff here in the u.s. coming up, we will show you how both coasts are coping with storms. coming up, stick around for this. an amazing story of survival. and rescue canners initially thought this fisherman you see here was dead. details in just a moment. the bed reacts to your body. this zips off so i can wash it-yes, please. it's really cool to the touch.

drought. >> definitely need the rain. glad it is coming but of course we don't want our house to flood. >> reporter: cnn, san francisco. >> east coast viewers some are sleeping but you are not watching if you are sleeping. >> maybe both at the same time. >> west coast viewers it is 11:15 p.m. we have more on both coasts. >> i was there for the 2009 five years ago storm system that impacted the west coast and it was brutal when it comes to the moisture available. this particular feature resembling that as well. look at the water vapor imagery. moisture levels in he mid and upper levels of the atmosphere abundant. some areas in the northwest corner of washington state. an area, the only rainforest in the continental united states, the hill rainforest right here, 175 inches in any given year. they are going to pick upwards

gallons of water from last week's system in the los angeles county reservoirs the storms that came in. that's fantastic news. another round of wet weather comes in. this even more potent. if you are traveling across the highways that take you in to portions of nevada that will be translated in to heavy snowfall. that's great for the snow pack as we head to the winter season and agriculturally speaking, i am seeing officials out here in the citrus industry and growers are halting picking the oranges the next couple of days because this much moisture increases the size and weight of the oranges rapidly. so this looks like the market value for the fruit and vegetables across the region will be going up because the weight goes up as well. >> extreme weather can have an impact on your fruits . >> i usually love san francisco but i definitely wouldn't want to be there right now. >> it's rough. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. >> folks on the west coast, stay safe during the storm.

rough weather off the coast of hawaii nearly caused a 67-year-old fisherman his life. this is an incredible story. he was lost at sea for 12 days after huge waves smashed his sailboat's mast. >> an interesting lesson to be learned from this. listen to it. it could be the plot for a hollywood movie. his rescue came literally just in time. >> rescuers thought he died at sea. after two weeks in rough seas, fisherman ron ingraham is alive and well enough to crack jokes. >> i was in the water but hydrated on fish, i'm a fisherman. i caught fish. it wasn't as good as a sushi bar but that's how i hydrated. >> a fisherman tale that could have ended in disaster he made this call as his sailboat took on water.

i said, okay. you know -- was he with his fishing boat when you found him. they said oh, no we found him and his boat and he's alive and well. so, yeah, it was awesome. >> reporter: found dehydrated and desperate for food and still ingraham refused to leave without his boat. he not only uses his boat to make a living but it's his home. so the coast guard towed it back home. he gets his boat and zakary got his dad. >> reporter: he said he was looking for his father and they had lost touch with him and hoped. his father is fine and he plans to visit him. he said this is a real lesson for people to remember to stay in touch with your family members because you never know when they might be gone. back to you guys.

politics, but i'm still 17. i'm still young in life. and hopefully i will -- my main goal is to serve humanity and to help children to go to school. if i find another good profession for that than i will choose that. >> how do you cope with the same criticism that i asked malala about, certain in your country saying you are doing the bidding of the west. you are a post colonial ngo? >> i never bother too much about it. i never wanted to be in the limelight or media. i'm an activist and will work like that my whole life. of course the media and the people, that's gooded for the cause of children. for me, the most important thing is that children, if one single child feels their life is safe

my life is good and we are talking about thousands of children like that. each time when i free a child and the child goes back to the mother's lap, mother who lost all hope, the child will never come back home she thought. and the first tear of joy comes on her face, her cheeks, the first tear of joy of freedom appears on the face of that child, i always see the glimpse of god. >> just amazing. the thing is malala says i'm just a normal person. but if you think of the average 17-year-old, she's clearly not. obviously very special, so mature. >> she's extraordinary. >> inspiring. >> like when she says i want to serve humanity. next on cnn, we'll take you to the west bank where palestinians are now mourning after a confrontation with israeli forces.

inside of kobani and captured these scenes. a key question. after three months of air strikes by the u.s. and its allies why hasn't isis been driven out of kobani? >> the air strikes came too late. this allowed the islamic state to get in the city. once you have fighters inside of a city it is hard for air power dig them out. if they can hide, even if the building doesn't provide any protection, it provides concealment. >> reporter: the air strikes have impacted the ability of sigh sis to move around kobani. the official says isis tanks and other vehicles can no longer roam free and warns it is too soonl soon to judge the military strategy. isis' propaganda campaign isn't slowing down. in another video, it shows iraqi soldiers deserting their positions. running away from isis forces. there are new still photos
