after lots of wrangling a meeting of the minds in peru as countries come together to lay out a plan to fight climate change. welcome to our viewers around the world and in the u.s. i'm natalie allen. the right our top stories. an american man in north korea has publicly denounced the u.s. political and economic system. martinez from el paso, texas gave a lengthy statement in a bizarre and rambling news conference in pyongyang sunday pep said he illegally entered the country and plans to seek asylum in venezuela. his mother tells cnn her son is quite intelligent but has bipolar disorder. we have more on this. you have traveled to north korea and certainly north korea riveted to what this man had to say, will. >> reporter: it seems to be yet another example of many things that happen .
2:02 am
in this case you have a young man 20 years old from el paso, texas, who according to his mother had tried to cross once illegally into that country. he was turned away. hospitalized for a time but got out of the hospital, took out a payday loan and returned by way of beijing where he has been in north korea now since early november. and today giving a news conference, voluntarily in pyongyang where he listed a number of things about the united states government. he talked about the government, the u.s. government being like a mafia trying to take over small countries. he talked about billionaires controlling the political system, trying to take over the world. he talked about the cia, he talked about ferguson, missouri. he talked about border violence and ufos and ma implanted in people's heads to create voice. all of this before a crowd who
2:03 am
was intent of listening. quite a sight in that room in pyongyang this morning. >> and any comment from the united states? >> the state department says they are aware of reports that have now been circulated since cnn broke this story several hours ago that there's this american in north korea. they said the safety of american citizens are their top priority but they didn't comment any further beyond that. this boy's mother claims she had contacted the u.s. embassy in beijing and asked them to locate her son. until we call her at her overwhelm in el paso she was unaware he successfully made knit to north korea until she saw the photos on television. >> that's unreal. i'm sure she's worried about him because he wants to go to venezuela. who knows what will happen next now that he got himself into north korea. all right, will, we'll talk to
2:04 am
you later about another story. there's an hour left in japan until polls close. prime minister abe calling for the snap election last month. he said it's a referendum on his economic policies. those policies dubbed abenomics including a stimulus package. the country slipped into an unexpected recession. mr. abe's ruling conservative party is expected to hold on to a clear majority. so let's go back to will, still live with us from tokyo. you've been watching this snap election taking place, and surprised a lot of people there in japan that he took this step. >> reporter: it certainly was surprising. this is not an inexpensive proposition to hold a nationwide election two years early. it will cost japan several hundred million dollars at a time when the country is deeply
2:05 am
in debt. it's twice the size of its national economy. the economy is on the minds of many voters here in tokyo and across japan right now. specifically the sales tax hike, the national sales tax known as the consumption tax was increased earlier this year from 5% to 8%. when you couple that with the fact that the yen is the weakest it's been in about seven years and when there's a weak yen it means anything imported into japan costs more. this is an island nation that relies heavily on imports. so things at the grocery store costing consumer as whole lot more and tack on the sales tax hike listen to what this one woman says. she sums up the feeling of a lot of people. >> translator: the issue of consumption tax concerns me the most. life is harder for me due to the tax hike. >> but, even though consumers are worried about not only the tax hike but worried about japan's future, worried about
2:06 am
what financial direction this country is taking and frankly many question whether abenomics will succeed, abe is expected to win this election because there really isn't much of an alternative. the opposition party isn't giving voters another plan to say no, don't choose abenomics choose this. voters feel there's only one choice and that's abe and four more years. >> turn out at the polls is light. how has it compared to previous elections as far as who is showing up? >> reporter: the last update and polls are closing in less than an hour. the update we got around 22% turnout. that's down 5% from the general election two years ago where abe was elected into the office. it shows the apathy that exists on the streets of tokyo. a lot of people say why would i vote in an election when we know
2:07 am
what the outcome will be, four more years of a party in control and have to see where his economic policies take this country. >> we thank you, will, live in tokyo. o the prime minister of haiti has just announced his resignation. he's leaving his post amid violent anti-government protests that have called for him and the haitian president to step down. according to the heytion government he said he's leaving office with a quote feeling of accomplishment. two americans and 19 afghans were killed in afghanistan friday and saturday in a series of attacks made by the taliban. among the death six afghan soldiers killed when a suicide bomber tar get and army bus in kabul. afghan officials say 12 civilians were attacked and killed while clearing mines planted by the taliban. coming up we'll get an update
2:08 am
from a british reporter who has been following this story. in cities across the u.s. this weekend tens of thousands of demonstrators clogged the streets, demanding action against alleged police brutality. it was largely peaceful, passionate protests. this was the scene in oakland, california where 3,000 people marched. marchers in the u.s. capital heard from relatives of four unarmed black men who died by bullets or police force. relatives of trayvon martin, michael brown, eric garner and others filled the podium in washington. all seeking justice for the deaths of their loved ones. >> hands up don't shoot. i can't breathe. please don't shoot i want to grow up too. >> it hurts me to my heart to know that so many men are getting away with shooting and
2:09 am
killing our young people. and not being held accountable for it. >> washington, thank you. wow. what a sea of people. if they don't see this and make a change then i don't know what we got to do. and, you know, our sons, you know, they may not be here in body, but they are here with us in each and every one of you. you brought them here today, okay. >> my husband was a quiet man, but he's making a lot of noise right now, and his voice will be heard. >> my son was 12 years old, just a baby, a baby. my baby the youngest out of four. >> people don't quite get it. they don't quite understand. they want to talk about we're not together. take a look around.
2:10 am
we are together. we are united. >> when we go home today what we hope that they have heard our voices, they yield to our commands because no justice, no peace. i don't have to tell not one single african-american about racial profiling because you guys know. so what i challenge you to do is talk to somebody that does not know. talk to somebody and make somebody else knowledgeable and make somebody else aware and educate somebody else about what you are going through because as long as we just talk to ourselves, we going to stay in our same circle and we have to
2:11 am
step out of that circle and got to make positive change. >> organizers there in washington hope for a massive turn out as you heard from the parents. they were very pleased and touched with all the people that took to the streets. a throng of protesters moved towards the white house capital shouting hold cops responsible and black lives matters. >> reporter: this crowd was peaceful but impassioned and the mood really was one of focus. protesters seemed like they had a task to do and they took that task very seriously. organizers say they were going for signs and symbolism, symbolism in choosing pennsylvania avenue a very iconic street here in washington, d.c. to hold this march. we marched every step from start to finish, nearly a mile with the protesters, met people from all over pennsylvania, connecticut, florida, all who had either driven overnight just
2:12 am
to be here. and they all had one message for congress and that specifically was that they want to see change, they want to see a change in the law, and they do want to see hearings in the new year. here's just a bit from one conversation i had. >> i'm here because black lives matter and one day i'll have a black child and i want him to be safe in the united states. >> what do you think being out here in the streets will accomplish. >> everybody is coming together to take a stand that institutional racism can't be a thing. >> you're marge to capitol hill. what's your message >> our message to congress is to take black lives seriously and make changes so we can all live in america and the land of the free. >> is it emotional for you to be out here. >> it's beautiful to see so many people of different races and ages come together. >> i was most struck by feeling that many protesters had that this is a moment in history, many harkening to the same sort of marches that happened here
2:13 am
during the 1960s. one woman spoke to said her father marched in the civil rights marches of the '60s and she called him and he said he's very proud of her. that's the sense they are picking up the baton from the previous generation who start this march and that march really does continue. again, the protests largely peaceful across the u.s. but in oakland, california, police say they arrested about 45 protesters after the main peaceful protest, these protesters apparently broke windows and set small fires. the arrests came, again, hours after the main peaceful demonstrations. in new york, two police officers were assaulted while escorting protesters across the brooklyn bridge. new york's mayor called that incident an ugly and unacceptable departure from the
2:14 am
otherwise peaceful protests. police describe the alleged assaulters as not interested in lawful protests. that's where we have to starw the line. we want to facilitate the protesters. people have a right to protest. but we have to balance their right to protest with the rights of the other 8.5 million new yorkers. if our cops are assaulted that's where we have to draw the line. that's when arrests are made. whenever there's property damage that's when we'll make arrests. >> the two officers are in the hospital but expected to be okay. still to come on cnn after a last minute scramble the u.s. congress approves an important spending measure to keep the government running. also rescuers in indonesia working fiercely to find perhaps any survivors after this deadly landslide. discohi! card. so it says here i can redeem my cashback bonus for cash. do i need to have a certain amount? nope, now you can redeem your cashback for any amount, any time. that's great.

a $1 trillion spending bill is on its way to president obama's desk after passing the senate this weekend. senators scrambling to approve the plan saturday night before funding ran out. the passage of this massive bill removes threat of a government shutdown for most of next year. mr. obama is expected to sign it into law. a u.n. conference on climate change has just approved a draft for its agreement next year but not before as you can imagine quite a few disagreements.
2:18 am
negotiators from around the world have been in discussion throughout the night in peru but at one point negotiations came to a standstill in how to pay for a cut in greenhouse emissions. >> we have no more time for lengthy negotiations. i'm not saying there are no modification by the presidency possible but this text represents a hard one balance and that hourglass is running down. i think we all need to bear in mind the very useful admonish made by our colleague from singapore in this regard. >> that new agreement expected to be signed in paris next year. certainly something we will be covering when that happens. so some hopeful progress and
2:19 am
hope it continues into next year. >> there's no wonder why there was some delays in getting the final arguments there at the end in lima, peru. you know, climate change is such a complex problem but it impacts so many aspects of our lives here on the earth including poverty, economic development, population growth, sustainable development. but at the very core root of climate change and what we're trying to solve here is reducing emissions global wide all the participating countries and trying to keep that increase in temperature below that two degree threshold which is so very critical for the planet. >> hopefully we'll see something happen because not all the countries wanted to come together. >> definitely. >> there's a sense of urgency finally. >> yeah, absolutely. paris that's when the rubber will hit the road. i've got some updated figures to talk about, switching gears here. we've been reporting on the landslide that took place in java and some of the latest
2:20 am
numbers being reported to cnn international. the death toll, unfortunately has risen to 24 people. 15 people injured. 11 of which are actually serious injuries. 84 people still missing from this landslide. 600 plus people actually evacuated from the area for fears of more land slides. this is a very unsettling situation across the area. take a look at my graphics. you can see why this particular region is so susceptible to land lieds. it's a very mountainous part of the world. this is the most populated island on the planet. look at the mountains and how gravity just took over the heavy rainfall they experienced across central java lately soaked right into the soil, gravity taking over and allowing the rock and all the debris to flow downhill, just basically obliterating anything in its path,
2:21 am
unfortunately. now we've had what's called the intra tropical conversion zone settle into the region. this is more of the rainy season into this part of the world. here's java, indonesia. low pressure system sending wave after wave of moisture and that is bringing the onslaught of heavy rainfall across central java where the landslide look place roughly 36 to 48 hours ago. some of our computer models sensing 200 millimeters of rainfall since the beginning of the month. very excessive amount of rain in a short period of time. this is very fertile ground doesn't take much to soak up all that water and eventually see the landslides take place. we got more rain in the forecast, unfortunately, in fact we're expecting anywhere between 50 to 80 millimeters additional rainfall for the entire island of java over the next two days. we'll look out still for the positive land slides and mudslides across this part of the world. although there's good news to
2:22 am
report out of this. it looks like the local community members banding together and helping out some of the impacted livestock and cattle that have been impacted by this particular landslide. dairy farming a major source of income, helping with food and the local economy for central java, and, obviously, that means planet of cows and cattle in that region. natalie, that's all we have to report from the world "weather center". we'll send it back to you. >> thanks. next here, if you like cereal we got the restaurant four. they serve one thing and any kind of cereal you've ever seen they got it. we'll have that story next. i guess i never really gave much thought to the acidity in any foods. never thought about the coffee i was drinking having acids. it never dawned on me that it could hurt your teeth. my dentist has told me your enamel is wearing away, and that sounded really scary to me, and i was like well can you fix it, can you paint it back on, and he explained that it was not something that grows back, it's kind of a one-time shot
2:23 am
and you have to care for it. he told me to use pronamel. it's gonna help protect the enamel in your teeth. it allows me to continue to drink my coffee and to eat healthier, and it was a real easy switch to make. ♪ ♪ ring ring! progresso! i can't believe i'm eating bacon and rich creamy cheese before my sister's wedding well it's only 100 calories, so you'll be ready for that dress uh-huh... you don't love the dress? i love my sister... 40 flavors. 100 calories or less.

2:32 am
left until polls close in today's parliamentary elections. prime minister abe called for the snap election just last month, hoping to boost support for his economic reforms after japan slipped back into a recession. it looks like he will get that support. a day of demonstrations across the u.s. demanding action against alleged police brutality. they were largely peaceful and deeply passionate. new york's million march rode through streets and across the brooklyn bridge. 3,000 people marched in oakland, california. hours after those large demonstrations that were peaceful, police arrested about 45 people after reports of vandalism. and in washington, d.c., a wave of marchers walked towards the u.s. capitol building chanting hands up, don't shoot among other chants to get people's attention. the relatives of some of the unarmed men who died by bullets or police force were among the crowds of demonstrators in
2:33 am
washington. they spoke to protesters and demanded justice for the deaths of their sons. here's cnn nick valencia. >> reporter: they came by the hundreds for a justice martin nation's capital. some were bussed in by organizers from nearby states. >> i live in new york. >> reporter: others walked just a few minutes to get here. >> i'm from d.c. >> reporter: power in numbers from across the united states. this man says he showed up with his family to show his infant son that his future can be better than his present. >> i want a future for them to actually to be able do what they want do to, be what anthony. this is the land of opportunity, land of freedom. let them choose the direction which which they want to go. >> reporter: this 11-year-old was one of the youngest demonstrators. >> show me what your shirt says. why are you wearing it? >> to like show that it's unfair
2:34 am
what happened. >> reporter: garner's family spoke to the crowd so, did relatives of others that lost their sons at the hands of police including the father of michael brown the unarmed teen killed by a police officer in ferguson, missouri. their message also in the crowd washington, d.c.'s police chief who said she showed up to stand in solidarity with the community. >> for many years there's a feeling the justice system doesn't treat everybody equally. that's been, you know, when i was coming up through school and studying law enforcement the justice system has to treat everybody equally, black, white, rich, poor, and that's always been an issue. this is not a new issue. just an issue that's very, very emotional and very, very raw. >> reporter: addressed here in washington, d.c. and beyond. nick valencia, cnn, washington. a string of deadly attacks in afghanistan this weekend as
2:35 am
u.s. forces get ready to leave the country. the taliban taking responsibility for most of them. we have a journalist on the phone from kabul. we'll talk about the taliban continued use of violence right now at this critical time. what can you tell us about what happened in these recent attacks? >> reporter: there's been a string of attacks just this past month but particularly the past week has been very deadly here in kabul. only yesterday there was an attack against a bus of army soldiers where six soldiers got killed. there was an attack against the convoy north of kabul where two u.s. soldiers got killed. and an attack down south in the hellman province. all in all this fall has been one of the bloodiest since the
2:36 am
war started 13 years ago. >> right. there's a judicial leader that was shot as well recently and, of course, this comes at a critical time for this country with u.s. combat forces leaving and it seems that the taliban is trying to prove that it has not been weakened and it's not going anywhere. >> reporter: exactly. i think that is the main message to take from this, from the taliban. it comes also at a time where the afghan government has invited the taliban to participate in peace talks, and the new president repeatedly calls the taliban a political opposition. and some people in this country don't agree with that description of the taliban, and recent action of the taliban also changes the mind that description from the president. definitely it seems like more of
2:37 am
a signal from the taliban than anything else. >> right. understand the new government trying to find some sort of avenue to get the taliban to stand down, but understand too that people don't like that engagement with them and that characterization. so it's got to be some very nervous terrifying days for the people of afghanistan, the world is pulling for them as they have been through so much to see if their country can finally pull out of this nightmare they've been in but it doesn't look like that is happening. >> reporter: well, we have to look at it in perspective. the recent attacks from the taliban, even though they have been deadly and high-profile and that's probably a point in itself, it doesn't look like the taliban have any kind of upper hand over the afghan national
2:38 am
security forces. and i think it's true that the afghan people are nervous and feeling uncertain about the future but that's not only because of violence, that's also because of the government's inability to form a cabinet. it's been six months since the election finished and there's been a couple of months since the new president came to power and still don't have a cabinet. that also adds to the uncertainty. these recent attacks get a lot of attention because they target places in kabul and target for us and target where young afghans for the cultural center. in the provinces this has been going on for a while and the situation has worsened for a while. >> we appreciate your perspective. it's important to give the larger picture. thank you for helping us and for your reporting.

2:40 am
home country, india. >> the effect of what he was doing, the exact of what he was doing was really not about india, nor was he provoking or promoting people within india to align or sympathize with isis as we see at this point in time. it was more about how he could manage to talk about the situation of isis and that had more of an impact in the european world particularly the uk. therefore, i believe the interest was very high in the uk to attract and trace him happen >> if convicted, he could serve up to ten years in prison. in the past week the united nations has raised more than $80 million to restart a food assistance agency for syrian

2:47 am
then ebola hit. the meager resources once allocated to sustain basic services were desperately die stroertd fight the disease. people wait hours if not days for an over burdened fleet of ambulances to transport ebola patients. if a patient is lucky enough to get to a treatment center there aren't enough hospital beds for those infected let alone those with other diseases and conditions. and the bare essentials like rubber gloves are running out forcing some clinics to shut down. the system is buckling under the strain and the united nations warns that women are most at risk. >> partly because of their role as caregivers in the home and partly because also they are most involved in household activities and this puts them at particular risk of getting infected. >> reporter: and the risks are even greater if a woman is
