3:00 am
countries, including france and the u.s. will present their visions for cutting carbon emissions and security is on everyone's mind. we have jim acosta with the coverage at the paris climate change conference. jim, it is good to have you. the u.s. and china seen as we get ready to hear from the president in a few minutes. what do you know? >> those two leaders, president obama and president xi of china, trying to set the tone of this climate summit, showing the two biggest economies in the world, the two biggest carbon emitters can commit to carbon controls, so can everyone else. every world leader gathered here, observed a moment of silence this morning in honor of the victims of the paris attacks as soon as president obama landed in france overnight, he was whisked over to the bataclan
3:01 am
theater where he laid a single white rose. the french capital is very much on edge in the aftermath of the attacks on november 13th. protesters clashed with french authorities sunday over new rules that were set to clamp down on large-scale demonstrations in this city. there is intense security in place throughout paris. i saw it myself when president obama visited the bataclan last night. that security in place to protect the more than 100 world leaders at these climate talks. president obama and president xi as we mentioned met this morning and discussed this climate summit as well as the war on isis. the president paying his respects to the chinese national who was murdered by isis, hostage that was murdered by isis. these leaders are in pursuit of a climate agreement that will commit nearly every country on earth to big reducks in carbon emissions over the coming decades. climate scientists aren't so sure it will be enough to avert the most serious affects of global warming. the battle against isis is a big
3:02 am
topic on the agenda for president obama. he'll meet with french president francois hollande to get an update on the meeting with vladimir putin in moscow last week. they still have to focus on isis, even with this big climate summit under way here in paris. chris? >> all right, jim, thank you very much for that. let's bring in christiane amanpour. you've been talking to a lot of the big minds both french and abroad about what they want to achieve here. what is the agenda? >> the main agenda, i talked to david attenburg, the world's eminent expert on naturalism. like everybody, he's saying this is the last ditch attempt to stop the temperatures rising beyond 2 degrees. that's their -- >> the wind doesn't seem to be a problem. >> we can blame this on climate change. we're in a wind tunnel right now. bottom line is how do you stop
3:03 am
the emission of carbons in a way that is not too painfully expensive, especially on poor countries? india, for instance, they say, hey, you've had your economy, we need to burn coal. china is saying the same thing. that's one of the big issues that needs to be done. david attenburg said america put an astronaut on the moon ten years after president kennedy said that was going to happen. we can do this. we just need the political will. i talked to the french defense minist minister. he said they have something like 10,000 military deployed all over and he's confident about the security for this summit and he commented like all the french have on those demonstrations last night. these were the anti-capitalists who always come out of the globalization summits. >> this wasn't muslim protests. >> no, these were anti-capitalists who didn't want to do it. because they took it to the memorial where these people have been killed and are being memorialized he said it's
3:04 am
undignified, it's a shame, all the french press are saying the same thing. yes, people should be able to demonstrate but to take it that far and to take it to that place at this time was a disgrace. >> there's planning about the environment going on with be no question. there's also going to be more planning going on with the heads of state here. >> yes. >> question know they're planning ancillary meetings let's say. one of the reckonings is what do you do in syria visa vis-a-vis . what is the word you're hearing in terms of whether assad's troops will be part of coalition resistance of isis? >> there's been a huge confusion about that. i specifically asked the defense minister about it. he said, look, the position of france is very clear. assad's forces will not be part of this fight as long as they are under assad's command. if there's a transition and assad goes and they, you know, they can be dragooned into this
3:05 am
fight, that's that. >> what does that do for russia's participation? >> another thing that will be interesting to see is the relationship between russia and turkey. erdogan is involved another issue is the multiheaded coalition against isis. and the french defense minister said it has to be a joined coalition. they're trying to get russia on board. they say they've noticed certainly in the last few days, perhaps week, that russia seems to be hitting more isis targets than it did before. so we're waiting to see if that happens. they're very concerned about isis popping up in libya. >> yes. >> that's the latest reporting. "the new york times" has a big article about it. we've been reporting about how it's been popping up its head up everywhere. they're very concerned about that. no plans to take on isis by the
3:06 am
coalition in libya at the moment. >> we have to report on this aspect. they're going to be talking about that. you have 147 heads of state here. to believe they won't be discussing the war against isis and what haed in paris twoing woos ago would be naive. there's business at hand. when you get to this idea of you laid out eloquently india says you had your industrial revolution, now we're having it. we want the same advantage as you have with fossil fuels. where is the space of movement there? >> there are a couple of issues. one, the developed countries, the rich countries including china pledged -- this didn't happen here. it happened before. $100 billion, i believe, a year to help poorer countries and they include india in that to actually, you know, develop and tray to get a hold on their carbon emissions. india saying it's not enough. we can't do it. the other thing is, we'll be talking to bill gates later on. how do you invest huge amounts of money and convince governments and others in r & d
3:07 am
that billions of dollars of investment into alternative fuel and most importantly into being able to capture and store the alternative renewables they have right now that that is actually a wise investment and in the end it will be net positive to our gdps than a net negative. a lot is the economic argument and how do you persuade countries that the economic argument in the future will actually serve them? >> well, great setup to what the agenda is here, both specifically with climate and the larger environmental issue of terror that they're dealing with and good bump tease. bill gates, a big part of the solution will be public/private partnerships. bill gates is going to announce a huge initiative with president obama involving other private investors. he wanted to talk to christiane amanpour. she was generous enough to do it on "new day." as we get back to alisyn and michaela, we'll have bill gates expressing what the mandate for change is. we'll do that interview if a
3:08 am
little while. >> maybe you could harness wind energy. throw that out as a suggestion. >> christiane is a real pro. i would have gotten up and left in that wind. >> thanks, guys, back to you shortly. breaking glofr night, u.s. embassy officials in kabul issuing a serious warning, credible threats of april imminent attack within the next 48 hours they say. no word on a specific target. officials warning americans in the area to take extreme caution. breaking this morning, two israelis convicted for the revenge killing of a palestinian last year. prosecutors sa the trio abducted 16-year-old qadir as he waited to enter a mosque. they beat and burned him to death. his murder sparked massive riots in the leadup to last year's

3:10 am
deer made remarks about baby parts after surrendering according to a law enforcement official. the official also says the suspect expressed anti-abortion and anti-government views to officers. neighbors say he once gave them anti-obama flyers. >> handed us obama flyers. if you have time to look at this later. >> reporter: it's still unclear whether these opinions may have motivated the deadly salt. >> you can certainly infer what it may have been in terms of where it took place and the manner in which it took place. >> reporter: this shooting comes just a few months after a series of videos produced by anti-abortion activists were released. >> i used to baby sit her when she was small. >> reporter: meanwhile, family members of victim jennifer markovski remembered a devoted stay-at-home mother. >> you asked her for help, she helped. >> david picked me up at school every day in high school and drove me to the ice rink.
3:11 am
>> reporter: nancy kerrigan grieves over the loss of the officer. the two skated together as children and were family friends. >> you can't explain it. it's horrific and sad. >> reporter: and later today, robert deer is expected to be arraigned from here, the el paso county criminal justice center. we understand it will be by video conference so no one will be in the room with him when this happens. >> we've seen that happen for security reasons. thank you for that update. coming up in our next hour, we'll be joined by planned parenthood's executive vice president dawn leg gx laguens. counterterrorism officials uncover an anonymous online threat of a gun attack on the campus of the university of chicago. >> reporter: we're told that the fbi alerted the university here about the threat and we're
3:12 am
actually standing on the quad. the quad is the area that was talked about that at 10:00 someone was going to come here, use a gun and maybe shoot people in the quad. the campus has shut down the university. there will be no classes today. i'll read the staple from the campusp this they said based on the fbi's assessment of this threat and the recent tragic events at other campuses across the country we have decided in consultation with federal and local law enforcement officials to exercise caution by cancelling all classes. think about this. this is the last week of classes, finals are getting ready to start. there are kids who live in the dorms here. we're told they've been advised to stay inside. we drove around the campus this morning and did notice an increased presence of police officers here but you understand the fbi alerted this campus about this and now they're taking that threat very seriously. alisyn? >> sure sounds like it. thank you, ryan. a chicago police officer, that one charged in the fatal shooting of the black teenager will appear in court. that graphic dashcam video that appears to show the officer
3:13 am
firing 16 times on laquan mcdonald has sparked outrage and allegations of a police cover-up. rosa flores is live in chicago. good morning, rosa. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. jason van dyke was arrested and charged with first degree murder in the killing of 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. that's the teen here from chicago. now, the arrest and the charge happened last week. at that point in time, a judge set bond at no bond, pending a bench review of that video. i should warn you, that video is very graphic. it shows laquan mcdonald walking through the street with a knife in his right hand. several cruisers responding to the scene, including van dyke. he discharged his weapon 16 times. according to the autopsy report, hitting laquan mcdonald 16 times. that triggered protests here in
3:14 am
town. at the height of the protests, 200 to 300 protesters walked up and down the magnificent mile here in chicago. for the most part, those protests were peaceful. we should add that jason van dyke's attorney said that this police officer acted in self-defense. but, again, a judge expected to review that graphic video today and decide if his decision of no bond still stands. michaela? >> we'll check back to see the progress on that today. in glor, the first of six police officers charged in the april death of freddie gray goes to court. he died from a spinal injury he suffered in a police van. prosecutors say officer porter should have given him medical help. the case sparked rioting in baltimore. porter has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and other charges. his case could have a major impact on the five trials of the other officers that follow. it's the end of an era for

3:20 am
investigators say it could take more than a week to process the crime scene from friday's massacre at a planned parenthood clinic. >> bear we have eyes on him. he is coming towards the front of the business from the south side. >> we got too take him out if he has any ied of suspicion on him. we have our suspect right now. he's saying that he is alone and is he by himself. >> okay, good job. >> matthew, great to have you here with us. you know all this about area. with you were with the atf in denver. colorado springs was part of your region. >> yes. >> how prepared is a place like that for an active shooter scenario like this? >> two things come to mind here.
3:21 am
number one, colorado springs has as you know, several military bases. they're used to training. i've worked with that police department. they do a phenomenal job. also, the mayor, john suthers, he knows exactly how we're supposed to respond. >> it is hard to imagine a scenario with more variables than that for law enforcement. they had an active shooter. he had an ak-47. he was prowling the premises. there were innocent people trapped inside, hiding behind doors. he was shooting through walls, just indiscriminately, through doors. a police officer was shot as you know. where do they begin with that? >> there are so many variables as you say. law enforcement trains for situations just like this. the known and the unknown. >> look, part of the very complicating factor, i would imagine, correct me if i'm wrong, the information, the tactical communications were
3:22 am
being broadcast on police scanners. that's how the cops were communicating with each other. in this day and age of the internet, 63,000 people around the country were listening in to those tactical conversations. let me play you a portion of what people could hear about them trying to figure out what to do. listen to this. >> there are three people hiding in the bathroom at planned parenthood where they hear, they think they hear the suspect. they say somebody's knocking. >> they'll hide in the back closet until this is year. >> we have people hunkered down in the northwest corner of the building. >> can we confirm to we have people still inside planned parenthood? >> i'm trying to find the victim at the back. >> they know people are hunkered down, hiding in the back room. what if the gunman had been listening in on one of these
3:23 am
sites? >> that is a real possibility. in that part of the country it's not uncommon for local law enforcement, all different organizations to be communicating on several different channels. it's necessary. if you see, we were able to galvanize responses very quickly in this case between colorado springs, the officer killed during the incident, the atf, the fbi and others. it might seem like a lot of chatter but from an incident command standpoint, we were able to understand what was happening both from people hunkered down, hunkered in place, the investigators, tactical operators and we know what was happening. >> i'm worried about people listening in. it's almost as though law enforcement should shut down the internet sites that allow people to listen in. >> obviously the best practices would be to shut it down so other people can't hear it. in this case, it didn't work that way and people were killed and injured. >> this suspect, he's described
3:24 am
as a ted kaczynski type, a loner, living in a rural setting. he had anti-government literature that he handed out. he had been arrested for a peeping tom incident. police were called for a domestic violence incident. >> he lived on acreage in a trailer. he had anti-government sentiments, anti-abortion sentiments and then when he gets arrested, he utters something about body parts. who knows whether that was the motivation. investigators will find that out over the next couple days. >> he was ranting about a lot of things. >> yes. >> thank you for the expertise. great to talk to you. >> thank you. is russia seeking economic revenge against turkey for the downing of a jet? we'll take you live to moscow for details, next. attention americans eligible for medicare.

3:28 am
we're here at the cop21 can be the conference of participants, the 21st meeting about the climate. this is what the u.n. has organized here in paris. some 150 heads of state are on hand to do this. the real story, yes, the climate is important. yes, there has to be change. this is about security. we're just a couple weeks out of the horrible attacks that happened here in paris and france is using its unprecedented emergency powers to crack down on demonstrations and pro-testifies ahead of the summit that begins this morning. the summit leaders are hoping to
3:29 am
make history themselves and do something about the environment. there's no reason to mitigate the importance of what they're doing here, especially because people believe it may soon be too late to make the kinds of changes that are necessary. let's get a sense of the context of what cop21 is about within the security environment here in france. jim bitterman, always a pleasure to see you, sir. >> yes. >> the story within the story, the main story, cop21, people have been looking forward to this, you don't get 147 heads of state together easily. what is the agenda and realistic outcome? >> they're looking at the idea of limiting greenhouse gas emissions. that's the general framework. they have a better chance than ever before. >> why? >> they have more than 180 commitments. those 180 represent 595% of all the greenhouse production in the world. they have commitments to limit
3:30 am
greenhouse production. >> you know the immediate skepticism is, you get the commitment but what is the enforcement mechanism, especially when you get into the big shots, china, india, india especially saying we're having our industrial revolution right now. we need fossil fuels. what's the enforcement? >> that's the problem. the next two weeks. after the leaders leave on tuesday, that's the big show. then the officials, the sherpas as they're called, they're work to come up with a mechanism. basically they can't do nothing mar than name and shame. you promised you weren't going to allow a certain amount of greenhouse gas emissions and you are. there's no worldwide body to enforcement. >> when you were helping me get briefed with this morning, france has never put out this kind of security plan they have
3:31 am
now, some 120,000 police and military forces in effect. what is the mood now in terms of how much advantage they've gained over the risk of radical jihadis here? >> they feel it's secure. the defense minister did an enter view with christiane amanpour. he said we have the security situation nailed. i hope he's right. in in case i've never seen it fight like this. it came through plaza la concord. the government actually went so far as to recommend to people not to work today. you don't have to say that twice. i think a lot of people did stay home. the streets are pretty empty. they rounded up 24 environmental activists who they thought might be a little bit too radical. they put them under house arrest. it's unbelievable the kind of powers they've used to restrain things. >> and yet, let's bring in john
3:32 am
sutter for this conversation, because it hasn't stopped everything. in place de la republiqurepublie were protests that turned vial en. we have the writer of the two degrees project, john sutter. how is it set up in terms of the goals and in terms of what we're seeing with the protests? >> i think a lot of people are disappointed that the protests and clashes with police are distracting from what's happening here at cop21. the demonstrators i talked to were essentially trying to come out and show they're not afraid, that they saw climate change as an emergency before the terror attacks, they see it that way now and in future generations. they're basically demanding an end to fossil fuels. there were a bunch of shoes laid out on place de la republique
3:33 am
because the marches were banned. the shoe were marching for them, they said. that was a moving site. a lot of the climate activists were disappointed that happened and dispersed at that point. there were groups that were wanting to sort of get along with the police and obey that ban on public demonstrations. >> it's not unusual to see some more leftist elements, anarchy elements come in and overtake what is a purposeful demonstration by those focused on the climate in this case. you talked to somebody and have some sound from someone who wanted to speak to that, right? >> yes. we've seen a number of heads of state giving speeches and talking. i think there are a lot of activists who are sort of sick of all of the talk that goes around around this. they're looking for a very rapid
3:34 am
advance out of the fossil fuel era. with if we're going to meet the 2 degrees celsius goal, which is essentially what the talks are about, limiting warming below that amount since the industrial revolution, we'll have to move very, very quickly off of fossil fuels. i heard ban ki-moon hitting that point home today and saying we have to do this faster than we have been. we'll see if this talk turns into action. that's what people who are watching this closely arer innious -- nervously hoping that's what they do. there was a 15-year-old activist that said talk is cheap and he's hoping for more from president obama. >> we're calling out our government, the people representing the people, our voices, for their lack of action, the obama administration for their lack of action. they have failed to adequately protect the climate for our
3:35 am
generation. they have immensely failed at that. >> reporter: he was telling me that basically he is from the generation that has the most at stake in climate change. i think that was one of the most moving things about the demonstrations i saw yesterday in france, too, all these shoes laid out on the place de la republique. they had messages. many said we're doing this for our children. we have to think about this too. terror is an important subject and one we need to address as well. the climate change is the long-term disaster that will play out over generations. we have the world leaders here and to come up with some sort of deal that will actually cut emissions and get off of fossil fuels. >> john, as you know very well and as jim bitterman laid out, you do have a better thachance n usual of getting something down because you have the commitments
3:36 am
in advance. john sutter, thank you very much. i look forward to talking to you about what happens here at cop21. catch all his reporting at cnn.com/2degrees. christiane amanpour scored a big interview with bill gates. a big part of the solution to climate change they believe here at the cop21 is public/private partnerships. bill gates has a big announcement with the president this morning. we're getting ready for his address that we'll take live here on the show. that will be a big interview. >> we'll be back with you in a moment. thank you very much. the first of six police officers charged in the freddie gray case going to trial later this morning. could the trials trigger more violence than the rioting we saw after gray's death? it's a real fear in a city that's already deeting with the highest murder rate in years. more on that coming up, next.
3:37 am
at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like playing the boss equals the boss wins. wow! ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose
3:38 am
asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. so i just started poking around on ancestry. then, i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. it turns out i'm scottish. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. that's why i run on quickbooks. details.
3:39 am
i use the payments app to accept credit cards... ...and everything autosyncs. those sales prove my sustainable designs are better for the environment and my bottom line. that's how i own it.
3:40 am
we are hours away from the start of the first trial for the baltimore ploufrs involved in the death of freddie gray. jury selection set to begin in
3:41 am
officer william porter's trial. he is eventually expected to take the stand in his own defense. with us this morning to discuss this and other things, political commentator and op-ed columnist for "the new york times." the first trial, today, freddie gray, it's been an emotional time in baltimore and on the nation. here's what we know about officer porter. i think we can pull up a card of the information we have on him, 26 years old. a nature of baltimore. he's been a member of the baltimore police department since 2012. he's facing charges of manslaughter, second degree assault, misconduct in the office, reckless endangerment. what are you expecting to see? we know there are six officers in total that will be tried. >> right. >> what are you expecting to see happen in baltimore in terms of the reaction of the community? >> in may be muted just because these will not be public trials. we will not have cameras in the
3:42 am
courtroom. that changes the dynamic. we don't get a chance to follow along and the public has a chance to weigh in on every detail as it comes out, the quality of the prosecution and the defense. that changes things a bit. you have a settle many the with the family in that city. and the fact that they are on trial at all changes the dynamic a bit. i think you could have a much more muted response than people might expect. >> we know that there were some conversations in some corners saying are these officers going to get a fair trial? in fact one of the lawyers angered the judge in seeking a change of venue, saying that he was citing a recent study that found baltimore residents are more likely than those in the rest of maryland to have a negative view of the police. do you feel in your heart these officers can get a fair trial? >> "the new york times" times ran this week op-ed by a public
3:43 am
de defender who's running to be a circuit judge basically saying those police officers are getting treatment not allowed to other defendants. they were allowed to have a lower bail, even people who were protesting, broke a window in a police car. you have a higher bail set for that than the killing of a person. all long that track he was citing ways in which the officers were getting a better shake -- >> interesting. no matter which way you look at it you can find ways. >> there are two sides to every story. >> we know the judge in this case is african-american. >> right. >> he in the past has investigated police misconduct cases across the nation for the federal government. in this case as well, three of the six officers are african-american. in fact, the officer that is going to trial today, officer
3:44 am
porter, has said -- it's an interesting thought pep said if he had made different choices in his own life he, too, could have been freddie gray and makes the point freddie gray could have also been him. do you think that will resonate with the jurors? >> it could. the thing that we have to take out of this equation and i think that we keep overlaying on to all of the cases that people who are killed by police officers is making it into a situation of black people against white officers. right? i don't think that's exactly the way it works. i think it is really about the subject, the black people and police in general. those police can be of any race. i think there's a police culture that creates an environment of antagonism with a particular community. >> some people are saying what more do people want? the police officers are black, the judge is black. they don't understand the concern about the institution. >> right. s there an institutional prejudice and a heritage issue in terms of these structures and
3:45 am
how they are used and deployed. i think that once we understand that that -- that the institution becomes the issue and not necessarily the race of the officer but it is the race of the person who is being interacted with. those people who are being killed who are unarmed are disproportionately black people. >> i want to pivot to chicago a little bit. >> right. >> all of this is interconnected. we've seen the protests going on in chicago. you were there covering them and getting a sense of what the feeling is on the ground there. how do you think what's going on in baltimore is going to have an effect on chicago and vice versa? for example, we know in baltimore the jury is not going to be sequestered. they'll be hearing and seeing and reading the social media posts and watching the headlines and seeing the coverage of what's going on in another city. >> i don't know if it has that direct around impact. i look at them as interconnected in this way. they are discreet in that
3:46 am
baltimore has a culture. chicago has a culture. very specific culture. the naacp issued a statement and is going to have a press conference about this, citing a 2008 study in chicago that said between 2002 and 2004 there were 10,000 civilian complaints but only 19 of those resulted in any sort of significant action and over 30 years only one police officer, this police officer, has been charged with murder in the case of a police shooting. that's a specific chicago thing. in general, it is a national thing. every time that the federal government looks into one of these local municipalities they find something that's unpleasant about disparities. >> charles, you've written a thoughtful op-ed "new york times" in the. i want to point people to that. thank you very much for joining us. we need to get back to paris to chris. the president is set to speak soon. >> we are waiting for him. we'll take a quick break. we do expect the president to
3:47 am
come back on the other side of it. this is a big deal. for all the security concerns here, you cannot mitigate the situation in france right now with respect to the battle against terrorism. especially bringing all these heads of state. this is a big speech for president obama. many believe that helping the climate will cripping the u.s. economy. what's he going to say? how does he make it sellable to the world leaders to get a consensus and back home in the u.s.? . fellow leaders, we have come to paris to show our resolve. we offer our condolences to the people of france for the barbaric attacks on this beautiful city. we stand united in solidarity, not only to deliver justice to the terrorist network responsible for those attacks but to protect our people and
3:48 am
uphold the enduring values that keep us strong and keep us free. we salute the people of paris for insisting this crucial conference go on. an act of defiance that proves nothing will deter us from building the future we want for our children. what greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshalling our best efforts to save it. near i had 200 nations have assembled here this week, a declaration that for all the challenges we face, the growing threat of climate change could define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other. and what should give us hope
3:49 am
that this is a turning point, that this is the moment we finally determined we would save our planet is fact that our nations share a sense of urgency about this challenge and a growing realization that it is within our power to do something about it. our understanding of the ways human beings disrupt the climate advances by the day. 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have occurred since the year 2000. and 2015 is on pace to be the warmest year of all. no nation, large or small, wealthy or poor, is immune to what this means. this summer i saw the effects of climate change firsthand in our
3:50 am
northern most state, alaska, where the sea is already swallowing villages and eroding shorelines, where permafrost thaws and the tundra burns. glaciers are melting at a pace unprecedented in modern times. it was a preview of one possible future, a glimpse of our children's fate if the climate keeps changing faster than our efforts to address it. submerged countries, abandoned cities, fields that no longer grow. political disruptions, that trigger new conflict and even more floods of desperate peoples seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own. that future is not one of strong economies nor is it one where fragile states can find their fighting. that future is one where we have
3:51 am
the power to change, right here, right now. but only if we rise to this moment. as one of america's governor has said, we are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it. i've come here personally as the leader of the world's largest economy and the second largest emitter, to say that the united states of america not only recognizes our role in creating this problem, we embrace our responsibility to do something about it. over the last seven years we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, ambitious reductions in carbon emissions. we've multiplied wind power
3:52 am
three-fold, solar power more than 20-fold, helping to create parts of america where these clean power sources are finally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. we've invested in energy efficiency in every way imaginable. we've said no to infrastructure that would pull high carbon fossil fuels from the ground and we've said yes to the first ever set of national standards, limiting the amount of carbon pollution our power plants can release into the sky. the advances we've made have helped drive our economic output to all-time highs and drive our carbon pollution to its lowest levels in nearly two decades. but the good news is, this is not an american trend alone. last year the global economy grew while global carbon
3:53 am
emissions from burning fossil fuels stayed flat. and what this means can't be overstated. we have broken the old arguments for inaction. we've proved that strong economic growth and a safer environment no longer have to conflict with one another. they can work in concert with one another. and that should give us hope. one of the enemies we'll be fighting at this conference is cynicism. the notion we can't do anything about climate change. our progress should give us hope during these two weeks. hope that is rooted in collective action. earlier this month in dubai, after years of delay, the world
3:54 am
agreed to work together to cut the super pollutants knowns ahfcs. known as hfcs. that's progress. countries have put forward their own climate targets. that is progress. for our part, america is on track to reach the emissions targets that i set six years ago in copenhagen. we will reduce carbon emissions in the range of 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. and that's why last year i set a new target, america will reduce our emissions 26% to 28% below 2005 levels within ten years from now. so our task here in paris is to turn these achievements into an enduring framework for human progress.
3:55 am
not a stop gap solution but a long-term strategy that gives the world confidence in a low-carbon future. here in paris, let's secure an agreement that builds in ambition where progress paves the way for regularly updated targets, targets that are not set for each of us by by each of us. taking into account the differences that each nation is facing. >> there you have what's going to be the main message from president obama of the united states, that progress can be made but then you heard that last phrase there which is the critical part of finding consensus. finding a balance with the individual needs of each of the nations. that's the trick here at cop21. how do you reycreate progress
3:56 am
across the board? how do you find each country's middle ground of economic progress and responsibility for the environment. i want to give you some of the headlines, alisyn. president obama calling cop21 an act of defiance because of the attacks that just happened here a couple of weeks ago in and around paris, that having this conference shows that the people of goodwill will not be deterred in their desire to make the world a better place. and obviously his headline is the world is hot, this 2 degree celsius increase in temperature is a critical standard. since 1980 you've had the world, most scientists will tell you, heat up and maybe by as much as 0.85 of a degree. you're getting close to 2 degrees already. the president's message is that change in is in reach. he quoted a u.s. governor saying this generation is the first to feel the effects of global warming and the last generation who can do something about it. he also said the united states is going to set a new goal for
3:57 am
emegs reductions because we're ahead of schedule. those are big themes. but the big question is, alisyn, how do they get consensus and does everything stay safe for the duration of the summit? >> absolutely. you've given us a lot of material to work with, chris. we do want to get analysis from our krnl political commentator and anchor at time warner cable news, errol louis and cnn analyst, maggie haberman. >> the republicans don't agree, necessarily with president obama that climate change is as bifg a threat a -- big of a threat. >> there are the candidates who will dismiss the facts out of hand and say i don't accept the premise of the entire summit. so they'll write themselves out of the conferring --
3:58 am
conversation. among the others, there are other questions like the keystone xl pipeline that the republicans have said they will reawaken that conversation, do what i can to get fossil fuel out of the ground and into the economy. if it becomes a major campaign issue, it will be part of not just the president's legacy but also a part of the next election. >> does this event make it higher up on the totem poll of campaign issues? >> i think there's no question. at least in the short term you'll see it trump terrorism as chris just said. that's really what you're seeing on the minds of a lot of people when it comes to paris. i think errol is right. if an accord is reached, it will have sweeping implications for what comes next in terms of the person who replaces president obama. you'll see a lot more from republicans. you have heard the democrats talking about climate change fight a bit, most notely bernie sanders. i think this is going to rise, especially in a general election
3:59 am
as the republican primary is playing out, i think it will remain a secondary issue. >> many of the candidates were on the sunday shows. donald trump once again repeated his claim that there were thousands celebrating as the twin towers were falling. here's what he said on "meet the press." >> i've had hundreds of people call in and tweet in on twitter saying that they saw it and i was 100% right. now, "the washington post" also wrote about tailgate parties. we're looking for other articles and other clips. i wouldn't be surprised if we found them, chuck. for some reason they're not that easy to come by. i saw it. so many people saw it, chuck. and so why would i take it back? i'm not going to take it back. >> maggie, for some reason, the photographic evidence of this is not that easy to come by. >> for some reason these clips are that the easy to come by.
4:00 am
the way he's been citing kovalevski's series isn't accurate. it said officials detained people who were alleged to have been part of tailgate parties and parties on roofs. you've had the attorney general in new jersey say this was not true and 2 was looked at. it doesn't matter. donald trump supporters aren't bothered by this. they believe him. they think he's right. he's going to keep saying it. >> exactly. we're at an impasse. the media insists on facts and donald trump and his support he's say we know what we know. >> that's right. it becomes something that i think anybody who has raised young children is familiar with. somebody caught up in a lie. they don't want to let go of the lie.
4:01 am
if donald trump said he rode in on a unicorn and saw this with my own eyes, some would say that. >> some people do say they saw people celebrating, not thousands but some. >> donald trump has never renounced the birther claims. it seems to work him for politically. that's too bad. our job is to tell the truth, help people see the truth and the rest is not our business. >> we have to leave it there. we had all the breaking news out of paris. thank you. we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. this is cnn breaking news. >> we're here in paris. the president of the united states, barack obama, just addressed the cop21 countries, some 150 heads of state are here
4:02 am
and he had a very powerful message about the promise of change, in effect changing the climate and the potential of global warming. he also said that just being here is an act of defiance. remember, just two weeks ago, you had some of the worst attacks in french history here in and around paris. terror of a variety they had not seen. this today we see french authorities out in a way they've probably never been, certainly since world war ii. there are over 100,000 police and military involved in keeping this summit safe. let's talk about the security environment here and what's going on because it's the headline within the headline. this is about cop21. it's already about keeping people here safe with the terror threat. let's bring in cnn contributor john charles broussard. we have counterterrorism expert
4:03 am
fabrice mognier. this is going to resonate not just here in paris but around the world and specifically back home in the u.s. where climate change is still somewhat controversial, especially politically. take us through it, jim. >> that's right, chris. president obama just wrapped up his remarks here in paris, saluting the people here in france to continue on with this summit despite what happened two weeks ago where terrorists murdered dozens of people here. president obama said he is here, other world leaders are so show their resolve. we heard the president's remarks just a few moments ago saying that the u.s. is here not only as the world's strongest economy but also the second largest emitter of carbon emissions. if the united states can do it, countries like china can do it, that is contain their carbon
4:04 am
emissions, so can every other planet -- country on the planet. as you said, this was a somber start to this climate summit. earlier this morning, every world leader who was gathered here observed a moment of silence in honor of the victims of the pafr risris attacks. as long as president obama landed he was whisked over to the bataclan to lay a single white rose. protesters clashed with french authorities sunday over new rules that were set to clamp down on large-scale demonstrations. if you want to have a large scale demonstration, you can't do it. there is also intense security in place all week long here in paris to protect the more than 150 world leaders gathered here for these talks. earlier this morning, president obama and chinese president xi met to discuss this climate
4:05 am
summit as well as the would war on isis and these leaders are in pursuit of a large climate agreement that will commit nearly every country on earth to big reductions in carbon emissions over the next couple of decades. but chris, climate scientists aren't sure it will be enough to avert the most severe effects of global warming. as president obama was saying a few moments ago in his remarks, you have to start somewhere and they're trying to start here in paris. chris? >> he has an even tougher bar at home. politically there are a lot of people who are saying they don't believe in climate change the way the scientists do. there's a bigger challenge for the president than most. jim acosta, thank you very much. we'll check back in in a little bit. >> let's bring in charles broussard and fabrice mognier. president obama says this is an act of defiance holing this summit. a lot of people in the security community say it's more than an
4:06 am
act of defiance, it's risky and almost reckless given the security environment in and around paris right now. ho do you you think the situation stands? >> the french government has gone a lot and mobilized a lot of personnel for this event. the importance is to show unity against terrorism. it's a unique moment and tune not only to show unity and solidarity but also probably to try to build up a coalition against isis in syria which president hollande has been trying to build in the few previous weeks. this is important because we have all the head of state here in paris. together against a single threat of terrorism that we all face. >> practical and political. you need this to be safe, the french to be able to show they can keep the summit safe. it will be a step forward in their battle.
4:07 am
is it true since world war ii you've not seen an enactment of security like this, 120,000 police shutting the loop that goes around paris here. >> forces that are mobilized for this event in terms of not only those on the streets that we can see but also the intelligence services, the oldest security forces, the french security forces are mobilized to ensure that this event will be a success in terms of security, of course, it's essential. >> what's driving this, why they are so concerned is because of what they have been learning about the amount and the depth of terror networks that they have in france. how big a challenge is it still, fabrice? >> it's a big challenge. it's not over. we are just two weeks until the event and everybody knows now that we have difficulties to
4:08 am
identify all those networks, the networks in france and others. for sure we are still in a state of emergency and are continuing to chase those guys. we have guys still on the run in france. we are looking at them. maybe they are still there. maybe they are weaponing terrorist attack during cop21. we have to maintain police forces. we've seen where 15,000 police, military guys in suits around paris. we have 8,000 police officer to control our border. it's not over. >> some of those close to the investigation say the good news is, they're doing more operations, learning more all
4:09 am
the time. >> exactly. >> the bad news is they're afraid that putting pressure on the networks and bad guys, let's say, may force action sooner. is that still a risk? >> it's a possibility because during even a few days after the s.w.a.t. team killed the guys, we stopped different terrorist attacks during that same week. they were still going on. maybe they will try to accelerate the effort to strike france. we don't know exactly but for sure you have to ab wear about it. >> you think the state of emergency, which is, again, unprecedented, do you think it gets extended beyond the three months? >> probably. we see the state of emergency. it's important in places, including mosques, that were out of our scope until now. it produces real results in terms of an investigation.
4:10 am
we'll note the results at the end of the period. this is very important especially because the threat remains. we know what was said when individuals are on the run. networks exist. that's what testimonies have told us, networks exist and they're ready to strike here or elsewhere in europe. >> mr. brisard, mr. magnier, thank you very much. we're dealing with new normal from a terrorist and security standpoint and new normal in terms of why they came together for cop21. there is a belief that this is the moment for progress and change on a global scale. a big part of the belief is that it won't just be governments. it has to be private and public partnerships. bill gates, you know him, the former microsoft founder. he has come up with an idea that he'll announce with president obama here at the cop2120 put an infusion of money into technology and innovation, the likes of which we have never seen. bill gates will be joining us on "new day" to have that conversation. for now, let's get back to
4:11 am
alisyn and michaela in new york. >> back here at home, the man suspected of gunning down three people at a colorado springs planned parenthood clinic expected to face a judge today as we learn more about his violent past. steveny elam is live with the latest. >> we know there were nine people injured in in the shooting that happened on friday and three people that lost their lives. we nownow who those three people are. this morning, the two civilians killed in the brazen shootding the aa planned parenthood in colorado are identified. authorities say 29-year-old iraq war veteran ke'arre marcell stewart and 36-year-old mother of two, jennifer mav cough srko shot and killed friday by
4:12 am
57-year-old robert dear. they are trying to zero in on the motive. after a bloody six-hour stanoff, deer made remarks about baby parts after surrendering according to a law enforcement official. the official also says the suspect expressed anti-abortion and anti-government views to officers. neighbors say he once gave them anti-obama flyers. >> handed us obama flyers. if you have time to look at this later. >> reporter: it's still unclear whether these opinions may have motivated the deadly assault. >> you can certainly infer what it may have been in terms of where it took place and the manner in which it took place. >> reporter: this shooting comes just a few months after a series of videos produced by anti-abortion activists were released. >> i used to baby sit her when she was small. >> reporter: meanwhile, family members of victim jennifer markovsky remembered a devoted stay-at-home mother. >> everybody loved her.
4:13 am
you asked her for help, she helped. >> david swasey picked me up at school every day in high school and drove me to the ice rink. >> reporter: nancy kerrigan grieves over the loss of officer swasey. the two skated together as children and were family friends. >> you can't explain it. it's horrific and sad. >> reporter: and later today, robert deer is expected to be arraigned from here, the el paso county criminal justice center. we understand it will be by video conference so no one will be in the room with him when this happens. >> we'll be joined by executive vice president of planned parenthood, dawn laguens as well. the university of chicago canceled classes today due to an online threat. the campus quad at 10:00 a.m.
4:14 am
monday morning. students in campus housing are being asked to stay indoors as much as possible. also in chicago, a judge expected to decide whether a police officer jason van dyke should be granted bail. he's charged with first degree murder in the death of laquan mcdonald. the dashcam video sparked protests across the city. he's been held without bond since his arrest. a charter bus driver in virginia overnight has been charged with reckless driving after his bus overturned injuring dozens of college students on board. state police say the driver lost control on an on ramp outside richmond. one passenger was seriously injured. 33 others suffered bumps and bruises. that bus was packed with students heading back to virginia tech. the university of virginia and radford university. the nsa ending the bulk collection of phone meta data.
4:15 am
the intelligence community must get a warrant or court order to access records. the shift comes more than two years after details of the controversial program were leaked by former nsa contractor edward snowden. 20,000 u.s. troops to iraq and syria, that's what two republicans on the armed services committee think it will take to stop isis there and keep the terror group from striking here. we'll ask senators john mccain and lindsey graham about their strategy, live, next. there they are.
4:16 am
after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less
4:17 am
major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.
4:18 am
4:19 am
as world leaders work to build a coalition to fight isis, two prominent republican lawmakers are calling for the u.s. to deploy more ground troops to the region. senators john mccain and lindsey graham join us from iraq this morning. senator graham is also a republican presidential candidate. gentlemen, thanks so much for being on "new day" all the way from irbil, iraq. great to see you. senator graham, let me start with you. we know that neither of you are fans of the current obama
4:20 am
administration strategy to fight isis. senator graham, what have you seen on the ground in your past few days and what are you specifically calling for now? >> okay. some progress i think ramadi, which is in anbar province can be taken back from isil. otherwise, mosul, which is a very large city in iraq is still in isil hands. there's no strategy regarding syria. we had a major industry in libya, a city in libya, the home of khadafy fall into isis hands. there no ground component to destroy isil in syria. if you don't destroy them in syria where the caliphate is headquarter headquartered you don't defeat
4:21 am
isis. >> president obama would say the strategy in syria is the air strikes, they say the air strikes are working. but you both are calling for more ground troops. am i right about the number 20,000 no you think would do the job of getting rid of isis in syria and iraq? >> well, the first thing we need is what's agreed by hillary clinton is a no-fly zone in syria so we can protect the people from barrel bombing, have a place where the refugees could go and stop the slaughter that is driving so many millions of people into refugee status. the second thing we need to do is probably have some kind of coalition of largely arab countries to go to syria and take out isis. look, it's this simple. we're going to fight them there or we're going to fight them in washington, d.c. or phoenix, arizona. and they are metastasizing,
4:22 am
lindsay just mentioned libya. they're metastasizing all over the middle east. and we do not have a regional strategy. we think some number of troops, along with this coalition, would be the way to take out isis. and to also make sure that bashar al assad leaves power as well since he is the butcher that has killed 250,000 of his own people. >> senator graham, i've read that you are proposing a 100,000 strong force, provided by egypt, turkey and saudi arabia. this weekend, former secretary of defense, robert gates, said that will not work. let me play for you what he said. >> you hear people talk about sending combat formations from arab nations into iraq to fight
4:23 am
isis. that's just not going to happen. first this be we are not going to send their troops, not willing to send their troops. >> right. >> but second, the iraqis probably wouldn't allow them to come anyway. >> secretary graham, what makes you think that egypt and turkey and saudi arabia want to send 100,000 troops? >> clearly you're not listening i've never suggested we send an arab army into iraq. i'm suggesting we need 10,000 american troops to help the iraqis destroy isil in iraq. >> okay. >> we have 3,500. at this pace, isil will still be in iraq. i'm suggesting that we create a regional army to go into syria because there's nobody left in syria to destroy isil and if we don't destroy isil in syria they're going to hit the american homeland and the arabs feel threatened by isil as much as we do. they don't want assad in power because he's a puppet of iran,
4:24 am
their mortal enemy. for two years i've been saying what we're doing is not working. you've got radical islam running week. the theocracy in iran, the ayatoll ayatollah's religious nazi, is controlling four capitals. if we don't do something quick we'll get hit at home. that's my takeaway. >> do you have some suggestion that egypt and turkey and saudi arabia would be willing to send a force like that into syria? >> with american leadership, yes. we were talking to the now king of saudi arabia before he became king and he told john mccain who he admires greatly, you can have our army. he said i'll pay for the operation. they're not going to fight isil and let damascus fall into the
4:25 am
hands of the iranians. assad has to go. all i can tell the american people is we have two goals similar to the arabs in turkey, destroy isil, a threat to all of us, and weaken iran which is a great threat to the region and the world. this coalition could be formed with american leadership. our foreign policy is in free fall. nobody is going to follow us until we change our strategy. >> senator mccain, secretary gates is wrong, in other words? you have gotten an indication that those nations would be willing to send their troops? >> wait, wait, wait. >> secretary gates obviously misunderstood because he said -- he said iraq. secretary gates has been one of the strongest critics of a lack of any coherent strategy anywhere in the middle east, especially iraq and syria. if america leads, others follow. right now you see saudi troops on the ground in yemen because
4:26 am
of the threat of the ir iranian-backed people that have taken yemen. we'd be glad to debate it with anybody. to say business as usual is working is deceptive and dangerous to the security of the united states of america. >> okay. senators mccain and graham, always great to get your perspective. thanks so much for joining us. let's get back out now to chris in paris. >> all right, alisyn, we heard president obama speaking addressing the cop21, the conference of parties. this is the 21st annual u.n. sanctioned discuss about the climate. he says even though it's cop21, this is the last best chance to make the changes that are necessary. we didn't get you to play you his whole speech. you can watch it online. we'll give more time to this discussion. it has to be private and public,
4:27 am
not just governments. and a big part of the private investment will come from a man named bill gates. we all know him and you'll get to see him on your screen. he's ready to do an interview with christiane amanpour and me. we'll be talking to him about what can it be achieved at a cop21? what the real chances are for progress and what needs to happen to make climate change that some generation of americans will look at in the rearview mirror. stay with us. we'll talk to him, coming up on "new day."
4:28 am
4:29 am
4:30 am
4:31 am
welcome back to paris. we are here for the cop21. you are now watching the chr christi christiane and chris show here, christiane amanpour. there's one man we need to step up and we have him here this morning. >> one man that's been at the forefront of this, bill gates, the founder of microsoft and co-chairman of the bill and melinda gates foundation. we are at the summit
4:32 am
headquarters. thank you for joining chris and i. give us a sense of what you will do in terms of public/private partnership to make a dent in this situation with carbon emissions. >> well, the key to getting increased commitments to avoid the temperature rise that we want to avoid is going to be innovation. we need to bring cost premium for being clean down. and the partnership that's key to that is governments funding basic research and private investors, like the group of 28 people i brought together, to take the high-risk venture investments and turn those into products so we can have clean energy that's not more expensive than today's hydrocarbon energy. >> how difficult was it to get the 28 together? did you have to make any personal guarantees to some of these guys?
4:33 am
some of them are your friends. how hard was it? >> when i called up the 28 different people, i was amazed at their enthusiasm for the idea. some of them will do the investment directly, some will work through a fund that will create that will help vet the breakthrough technologies. i'm sure we'll get more signing up. we didn't go after institutions but we'll be approaching those in the months ahead. >> mr. gates, your fellow philanthropist, ted turner, the founder of cnn, he said if he had one word of advice, it would be to go out and put money into renewable energy. what does it take to convince more than your 28 that actual spending on r & d, doing the kinds of things you're doing is really a great investment for their own pockets as well as for
4:34 am
humanity? >> well, the returns will compartmentalcome partly through the benefits of society. energy investment is risky enough, takes long enough that it helps to have people who believe in the cause. they're getting two benefits out of this. i'm optimistic because of the gigantic commitment we're getting from these partners that we will solve the problem. we can get that premium down so the idea of a clean energy generation doesn't require the poorer countries it slow down their development. they can go full speed ahead. >> you're making a good point. i remember in the movie the graduate where this older man looks at, you know, the main character and says one word for you, plastics. now the new word is going green.
4:35 am
for someone like you, mr. gates and other entrepreneurs, you say the gigantic commitment of government. a lot of them are still pumping out fossil fuel emissions. a lot of them aren't doing what they need to do because there isn't enforcement mechanisms. how do we get that part straight so there can be an even playing field with people moving forward on innovation? >> well, the best thing of all would be to get competitive with the price of hydrocarbon. some countries will use tax approach to help boot strap that which is good. there have been a lot of tax credits involved. there's been a lot of what we call renewable furlough standards. in the long run, you need the innovation so the cost of clean is as low or ideally lower than the coal-based energy generation. that's why the science is so exciting now. it is risky but basic research
4:36 am
from governments plus entrepreneurs like this group of 28 that includes the university of california, i think that lays the foundation over the next decade, we'll fund over 100 companies and enough of those will be successful to make this challenge. >> mr. gates, what do you hope, oned what you're about to launch, along with president obama and president hollande, what we've been talking about, that the governments can do? because many people say, oh, you know, unless all the governments actually get together, sign on to something that's legally binding which this will not be, because of the problems with the u.s. congress, that it just won't work. for instance, china, which has made all sorts of promises about capping its emissions, turns out there's 17% more emissions than they knew of or made public. what is your hope for for where
4:37 am
governments can lead? >> it's helpful to have a framework for commitment but five years from now, why will people increase those commitments? and how can we make it more feasible so we can get almost all those countries meeting their commitments as well as improving them in the answer is innovation. i've seen innovation in the digital space. in the interspace it doesn't happen as fast. it's harder. now we're bringing together literally on the government side and billions on the private side. that's going to get a lot of new startups going. and so the -- it won't be as hard to make commitments. i think that's key. if we didn't have innovation, i don't think we'd ever get to where we need to be. >> help us dream a little bit here. you've used five years as a horizon, ten years as a horizon.
4:38 am
when you look into the future, what do you see happening that we couldn't imagine today? >> well, i see the price of energy actually being lower than today. that's for clean, reliable energy. i see huge benefits to everyone, particularly the poor, who don't have air conditioning. they don't have a stove. they don't have refrigeration, they don't have lights at night. the cost of fertilizer is based on the price of energy. all these things that enable the modern lifestyle are very energy intensive. and so only by making those things clean and low cost can we really solve the problems of poverty. energy is fight central, avoiding climate change where the poor would suffer the most and getting them highly reliable energy. that's why when i meet with these scientists that have all sorts of wild ideas each of
4:39 am
which is risky in and of itself, i see a portfolio that virtually guarantee guarantees will have the breakthroughs. >> bill gates, thank you so much for joining us this morning right there at the summit headquarters. thanks from me and chris. >> thank you for bringing us the bill gates interview. he's such a critical player in this. it's so important to hear how he dreams this going forward. >> i think it's vital. he has put his money and intellect and brains where his mouth is. he was the new startup back then. there are people like david attenborou attenborough. >> politicians talk about enforcement. he says make it cost equivalent. then there's a profit incentive. that will take care of
4:40 am
compliance with any of the standards. a different take, probably the one that gets you where you want to be. >> it was also fascinating on how to hear how he cajoled his 28 friends who didn't seem like they needed convincing. thank you both. and donald trump, despite widespread criticism of his claim, that he saw muslims in the u.s. celebrating on september 11th. despite the lack of evidence, how will this play out as the iowa caucuses draw closer? we have unless, next. i have asthma...
4:41 am
...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you.
4:42 am
see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira.
4:43 am
with humira, remission is possible.
4:44 am
donald trump continues to say that he saw american muslims celebrating the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center. in fact, over the weekend he says, quote, i was 100% right. joining us to discuss this and so much more that happened over the weekend, cnn political commentator and democratic strategic paul begala. he's senior adviser for pro-hillary clinton super pac and kevin madden, republican strategist. hope you had a great holiday.
4:45 am
>> good morning. you, too. >> donald trump was on "meet the press" over the weekend. and he insists that he saw thousands of extremists celebrating as the twin towers fell. let me play for you what he said this weekend. >> i've had hundreds of people call in and tweet in on twitter saying that they saw it and i was 100% right. now, "the washington post" also wrote about till gate parties. we're looking for other articles and we're looking for other clips. i wouldn't be surprised if we found them, chuck. but for some reason, they're not that easy to come by. i saw it. so many people saw it, chuck. and so why would i take it back? i'm not going to take it back. >> kevin, let's be crystal clear. people have been looking for any shred of evidence that this happened, that thousands of people were celebrating. "the washington post" that he
4:46 am
mentions there reported that the fbi got calls that people thought other people were celebrating or tailgating but they were never able to substantiate them when they investigated. >> yes. >> where does that leave us, kevin? >> well, look, this is one of the big challenges that we have with donald trump. how do you fact check a serial p pervaricator? this is the george costanza rule of politics. he keeps repeating it. the sheer volume of outrageous claims or offensive statements that donald trump has made, it seems to inoculate him. we've lost the shock value. every week, time and time again, donald trump makes an outrageous claim and stands by it even when it's disproven. you have to assume, his opponents have to assume or expect that at a certain point electorate becomes wise to this
4:47 am
and it becomes such a character issue that voters become less and less inclined to associate themselves with somebody who has this character flaw. >> we've seen not a shred of evidence of that happening either. donald trump's poll numbers have not gone down when he's said things like this. >> i agree with the beginning of the reference and i love the george costanza reference. you can fool some of the people all of the time. and mr. trump is proof of that. the question is how many. you know, 25% of republicans are for mr. trump despite all of these things he says, provable falsehoods and other outrageous things attacking john mccain, saying he wasn't a war hero. that's 25%. the truth is i think he could go higher. 44% of all republicans in america believe this falsehood, barack obama was not born in america. in part because mr. trump advanced that before he was a presidential candidate.
4:48 am
he's claimed he was sending -- remember investigators -- now they're looking for videotape of protests that didn't happen. back then they were looking for proof that the president was born in kenya. he was sending investigators to hawaii. that's where he was born. there is proof he was born in hawaii. you can't argue with these folks. it's become a character test and intelligence test of republican voters and 25% are failing it. >> ben carson was in jordan over the weekend, he went to a refugee camp. kevin, ben carson's numbers have softened a bit. >> yes. >> lately. is that because of a perceived lack of foreign policy expertise or what? >> i do think the paris attacks have reframed the race in many voters' minds. and the national security foreign policy issue is one where ben carson did not have as defined a profile. i think that was really smart, though, by ben carson. because what he's done by going over to jordan and visiting the
4:49 am
refugee camps, he's taken the political rhetoric out of it and he's gone and seen with his own eyes some of the impact that american policy making has on this region of the world. as a result he's more informed and i think as a result many voters will look at him as having a better platform to now offer a better policy making going forward for the country. >> paul begala, i know you one. i'm sorry, we've had so much news out of paris, i'll owe you one for next time. the last gop debate of the year is happening here on cnn, december 15th, moderated by wolf blitzer. set your clocks now, michaela. >> he's keeping a running tally. we'll keep you honest on that. more news ahead, the holiday weekend marred by a deadly shooting at a planned parenthood clinic in colorado. did the heated political rhetoric in the last few months contribute to the gunman's rampage? the executive vice president of
4:50 am
planned parenthood joins us next with reaction. after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis
4:51 am
call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.
4:52 am
4:53 am
colorado authorities have not disclosed exactly what motivated the suspect in the shootings at a colorado springs planned parenthood, but a source tells cnn that he muttered about baby parts after he was taken into custody. there is a growing chorus of abortion rights groups pointing to political rhetoric about planned parenthood as a contributing factor. joining us on "new day" is the executive vice president of planned parenthood. she's joined us before. i'm sorry we have to talk about this. it's a tough time for your organization.
4:54 am
particularly, in colorado. i'm curious where you're at on this. we've had a chance to talk to you before. we know there is a lot of rhetoric and a climate in the country right now about what you do at planned parenthood. there are people that disagree with what you do and are looking to defund your organization. do you see this as a troubled individual, isolationist, the ramblings of a madman, or do you think that planned parenthood was specifically targeted? >> thanks, michaela. what i would say, first of all, is that before any political conversation, the conversation in our hearts are with these families who have lost their loved ones. with the injured who are recovering in the hospital. of course, we just continue to be so thankful for the law enforcement officials and for our courageous staff who managed to, i think, limit the extent of this tragedy. as to the question, thankfully,
4:55 am
among our 700 health centers and millions of patients, most of them will never see a protester or experience any violence. we can certainly say that this was a disturbed individual. i think we can also say that the heated rhetoric and the outrageous and offensive and often untrue claims can absolutely contribute to a violent person like this acting out. we've seen it before. we heard ben carson talking about it yesterday. hopefully, there is agreement that we need to dial back this kind of attacks on planned parenthood that do contribute to an environment that can be dangerous. >> ben carson did, in fact, say that the rhetoric needed to be toned down on both sides. i want you to listen to what carly fiorina, another presidential hopeful, said on "fox news sunday." let's listen to her comments. >> what i would say to anyone who tries to link this terrible tragedy to anyone who opposes
4:56 am
abortion or opposes the sale of body parts, is this is typical left-wing tactics. >> what's your reaction to that? >> as you know, carly fiorina doubled down and then tripled down on what is now proven to be a lie, that planned parenthood has ever sold body parts. an outrageous and untrue charge. i think it's, to some of what your earlier guests said, once you you've gone in with a lie, it's hard to come out. i think what carly has done is just say, i'm going to go all the way and i'm going to politicize something, right in the moment, when it is almost still happening. there are already out there repeating these charges. i was disappointed to see that. >> i want to get to the reality on the ground for a lot of women and people in our communities. what you were saying is that many people in your clinics across the country won't ever see signs of the protests, but
4:57 am
we're getting reports that abortion rights advocates and supporters have reported a significant uptick in threats of violence in recent months, since those undercover videos were released. how seriously did planned parenthood take these threats, and does take these thetreats? >> the health and safety of our patients is our number one priority. we have an excellent safety record around that. there definitely have been more and more threats and, clearly, more and more heated environment as a result of some of the rhetoric. i would say the rhetoric is really, the heated rhetoric, is way more on one side than the other. but one thing that our patients should know is that the day after this happened, on saturday, 28 of 29 health centers in the rocky mountains were open and all across the country. they are open today. >> that was important for you to do. explain what the message was. why was that important for you to keep the doors open? >> i think so much of this coverage would suggest that
4:58 am
maybe planned parenthood isn't open or all of these kind of things are a regular occurrence. they just absolutely are not. planned parenthood takes security very seriously, as every law enforcement official who watched the colorado situation said. these were extremely well-trained staff. they acted quickly. they knew exactly what to do. the health centers are well designed. the security cameras were a help in bringing it to an end. you know, i want people to know that planned parenthood is clearly committed, first and foremost, to the health and safety of the women it sees. >> the governor of new york said security is going to be ramped up at all the locations here in the state. we know you're reevaluating security at all the health centers. the concern is that women in need of health care will be driven elsewhere or will be too fearful to come get help and, perhaps, some will even be driven underground. that's not what anybody wants. >> correct.
4:59 am
>> thank you so much for joining us today. our condolences to all of you dealing with this and the aftermath of a senseless act. thanks for joining us here on "new day." >> thanks, michaela. we're following a lot of news on this monday. let's get right to it. the u.n. organized here in paris some 150 heads of state. >> these leaders are in pursuit of a climate agreement. >> we salute the people of paris for insisting this crucial conference go on. >> you could see all the gunshots. oh, my god, it terrified me. >> it looks like a classic case of domestic terrorism. >> somebody who certainly had anti-abortion and anti-government views. >> we don't have confirmation from the investigation as to what the motive was. police officers in chicago and baltimore will face a judge. >> can the trials trigger more violence? >> every time the federal government looks into one of these individuals, they find
5:00 am
something unpleasant about disparities. >> welcome to you new day, monday, november 30th, 8:00 in the east. alison and michaela are in new york. we are in paris. the extent of the terror network here, still not completely known. the threat is very real, of more attacks. yet, we have 147 heads of state, including the president of the united states, assembled here right now for the 21st conference of parties. the u.n. meeting to stem climate change, the cop21. the planet warming, according to scientists. the president acknowledging that u.s. is partly to blame for climate change. he also emphasized, no nation can get everything it wants in the battle to curb greenhouse gases. attendees of cop21 need to recognize that nations have various needs and all need to be taken into account. for all the urgency of climate issues, the cloud hanging over this event is obviously security. the french are scrambling.
5:01 am
there's over 120,000 military and police in place to keep this summit safe. now, despite all that, there's still issues. you're looking now at the place de la republique, filled with protesters. there was a ban on demonstrations is and there was violence as a result. white house correspondent jim acosta begins our coverage at the conference. news was made by the president, jim. >> that's right, chris. president obama saluted the french people wefor continuing with the climate summit despite the paris attacks a couple weeks ago. in a speech to more than 150 world leaders gathered here, the president said the global community must show its resolve not just against isis, but to confront the threat posed by climate change. here's more of what the president had to say. >> i've come here personally, as the leader of the world's largest economy and the second largest emitter, to say that the
5:02 am
united states of america not only recognizes our role in creating this problem, we embrace our responsibility to do something about it. >> that was a somber start for this climate summit, as the leaders observed a moment of silence in honor of the victims of the paris attacks. as soon as president obama landed in france, he stopped at the bataclan theater, where he laid a single white rose to honor those killed in the attacks. the city is somber in the aftermath of the terror attacks. new rules are now in place, set down to clamp on large demonstrations. the world leaders gathered for the summit, and people want an agreement to commit every nation on earth to agree to reduce emissions. they have to do all of that under this cloud of security and concerns about threats of terrorism all around the world.
5:03 am
chris? >> jim, thank you very much. the challenges are obvious. they've tried at least twice before to get the cooperation and consensus they're trying to get at the cop21. the security situation, every bit as nebulous. we have breaking news on that front. two sources telling cnn, french intelligence, operating under the theory that the surviving paris attacker has escaped and made it back to syria. we've also learned that this man bought ten detonators at a fireworks shop locally, ton outskirts of paris. he was asking they be reliable in his conversations with one of the store owners. coming forward and telling what happened before the attacks. a source also telling cnn attack plots were thwarted after the paris massacre. they were supposed to target jrewish areas, transport networs and schools. with that as the context, obviously, the business at hand is the cop21. climate politics are difficult globally, certainly in the
5:04 am
united states specifically. let's bring in white house press secretary josh earnest. obviously in paris for the climate conference. the president is saying the u.s. is to blame, but also seeming to speak with a high degree of optimism, that he believes he can get an agreement here. why? >> well, chris, thanks for having me on the show. listen, what the president has come to paris to get is to get all countries around the world to follow through on their commitment to make ambitious, robust commitments to cut carbon pollution and fight the climate change. and also commit to a set of verifiable, transparent steps to make sure we can account for them living up to those commitments. that would make a significant impact on our ability to fight the causes of climate change that are already being felt in communities, in some cases, across the united states, but certainly in places around the world. there's also a significant economic opportunity here.
5:05 am
for a long time, krirchris, we d the critics suggest it was foolish for the united states to take steps to curb our carbon pollution, as long as the rest of the world was going to pollute and they were unwilling to follow our lead. thank to this president's leadership and the success he had in getting china to make a significant commitment to reduce their carbon pollution, we've seen about 180 countries made substantial commitments. we actually are going to do something to follow through on the cause of climate change. none would be possible without the leadership of the united states and without the leadership of this president. >> all right. josh ernarnesearnest, white hou secretary, we'll start with the plus. bill gates joining forces with the president in one of the key public-private partnerships. bill gates says, forget about punishing people for not following the standard. once with ege get price equival
5:06 am
that'll be enough. how important is it for the president to foster the private side of things? >> chris, the truth is, we need to bring everything that we have to fight this challenge. it's not just governments and multi-lateral institutions making contributions to fight climate change. we also need investment and capitalization from the private sector. fortunately, the private sector recognizes the economic opportunity that exists here. as the world turns toward a more low carbon economy, certainly an economy of the future that's lower in carbon, that creates significant economic opportunities. innovations in technology, related to efficiency, are fruitful opportunities for people to do something good for the planet and also make a lot of money. this is why the president prioritized investments in this sector in the united states. now that we know the rest of the world is committed to pursuing this path, there are customers all around the world for these
5:07 am
kinds of innovations. again, whether it's renewable energy, like wind and sew loola energy efficiency, there is money to be made in a way that's also good for the planet. we do believe that leveraging private sector involvement here is going to be important to achieving our ultimate goal. >> yet, there is the negative, right, which is, despite these commitments, in quotes, desire for an agreement here, it won't be legally binding. you have china meeting with the president, saying we're going to do things, making new commitments. then the news comes out they're creating more emissions now than we thought they were. india saying, you had your industrial revolution. we're having ours now. we need fossil fuels. how do you get these giants to do what is not in their economic interest? one guy gave me a great analogy. he said, this is a ham and egg situation. eggs an easy thing to give. it's a contribution. pig.e talking about ham from a that's a sacrifice.
5:08 am
how do you get the big countries to make a sacrifice, something that may hurt them in the short term? >> chris, the truth is, we've gotten these countries to do more than they've been willing to do in the past. the united nations has been organizing these talks for more than 20 years. it's only because of this president's leadership and securing a commitment. bilateral commitment we announced last november with the chinese. for both of the economies, to make significant contributions, we can capitalize from countries around the world. we've gone farther than before. the second part is, there is a clear economic incentive for countries to make these investments now. as i laid out before, we're seeing the private sector make substantial investments because they recognize the economic opportunity that exists. the other thing, we need to acknowledge while what's happening in paris is important, it's not going to solve the overall problem.
5:09 am
we also need to build into the negotiations a mechanism where we have countries around the world, every five years or so, revisiting their commitments and looking at what more they can do to advance this effort. because of the economic potential, because of the innovation we've already seen, the pace of innovation, we're optimistic that five years from now, when we look at the progress we've seen, we'll see what we've done is good but it's possible to do more. setting up a mechanism, where every five years we have countries around the world revisiting their commitments and seeking to do even more, it's going to be critical to solving the challenge over the long term. >> ambitious, tenuous. let's switch to the security situation here. something that christian amm amanpour got out of the french defense minister, he said,
5:10 am
french troops aren't going to be part of it. the u.s. has been staunchly opposed to assad. the fellow democrat is pushing the bill to stop the war on assad, saying it's illegal, but also that it's a distraction from isis efforts. how do you get around the fact that you need assad in the fight against isis? you need those forces. you need the sense of urgency on the ground proper in that locality. how do you deal with this political challenge that you have now, of dealing with assad in the context of this larger battle, if the coalition is saying, his forces can't be a part of it? >> chris, you're right. this is complicated. there are a couple important things for viewers to understand. the assad regime is not going after isil. right now, the assad regime is going after their political opponents and minority communities in syria. that's precisely why assad has lost legitimacy to lead his country. he's been using the armed forces
5:11 am
of the country to attack innocent civilians in his country. it's not just the moral repugnance of his leadership, it's his failure to unite the country. the fact he used the armed forces to attack innocent civilians means the civilian population is no longer willing to support him remaining in power. that's why the united states has led a diplomatic effort to try to eif he cfefectuate a politic transition. secretary kerry has been leading talks in vienna, beginning negotiations about a political transition. it is assad's failed leadership that's the root cause of the problems. even countries like russia, that has previously propped up the assad regime and are still taking military action to prop him up, acknowledged a political transition is necessary to ultimately solve the problems plaguing syria. that means stemming the flow of migrants. >> except that -- >> it also means trying to bring
5:12 am
security to the nation of syria, to prevent isil from establishing a safe haven here. >> but this is not a subtle distincti distinction, with iran and russia, ver sus the u.s. and other partners. they're saying syria should decide its own fate. they're believing that assad would stay in power. don't you have to make a decision of priorities at some point, that you're obviously not transitioning assad out right now. de facto, it's not happening. is it a distraction from the fight against isis? you have to pick your pryioritis right now. >> chris, we do have to pick our priorities. the priority of the united states is going after isil and preventing them from establishing a safe haven inside the chaos of syria that allows them to plot and carry out attacks against the west. that's the reason the united states has been militarily involved inside syria more than a year. to carry out air strikes and
5:13 am
support forces on the ground against isil. that's why we're engaged. the solution to all the problems in syria is a political transition inside syria. the syrian population doesn'tre because the regime has been using the military to attack them. hundreds of thousands of syrians lost their lives because of the chaos and because of the failed leadership of bashar al assad. that's why the international community needs to bring the political transition that moves assad out of the way, so that the moderate syrian opposition can come together and negotiate, come together around a syria that remains in tact, and for a central government that retains the confidence of the syrian population. the assad regime doesn't do that. it's a significant problem right now. >> josh earnest, white house press secretary, thank you for joining us on "new day." stay safe.
5:14 am
>> thank you, chris. i appreciate the opportunity. >> we'll get back to new york right now. alison and i cmichaela, back to you. >> we have breaking news. the u.s. embassy in kabul, issuing a serious warning of an imminent attack in kabul in the next 48 hours. no word of a specific target. americans are being urged to use extreme caution. the man accused of killing three people at a planned parenthood clinic in colorado springs is expected to face a judge today. this as authorities try to determine robert dear's motive. a source tells cnn, dear made remarks about baby parts when he surrender surrendered. he expressed anti-government and anti-abortion views to the officers. it's not clear if his views played a direct part in the incident. more breaking news overnight. an anonymous threat of gun violence forcing the university of chicago to shut its hyde park campus. officials say the online post suggested an attack this
5:15 am
morning. cnn's ryan young is live in chicago with the latest. what have you learned, ryan? >> good morning. you're talking about obama's old neighborhood. this is the quad, the area the fbi said the threat talked about. this is where the gun violence was supposed to happen around 10:30 this morning. as you look behind me, it's empty here. we've seen a couple people walking their dogs. so far, seems like everyone has heeded the warning and stayed out of the area. we've seen additional police, resource officers, in the area, driving around overnight as they watched this beautiful campus. of course, a statement came out that said, based on the fbi's assessment of this threat, and recent tragic events at other campuses across the country, we have decided in consultation with federal law and local law enforcement officials, to exercise caution by cancelling all classes. look, there's also on campus housing here. those students have been told to stay in as much as possible. this is the final week of classes before finals. you can understand, this campus is full, but they're taking this threat seriously.
5:16 am
in fact, as we looked around campus today, it looks empty. >> we'll check back with you as the morning progresses. baltimore bracing for a trial with big implications. jury selection is set to begin this morning for the first of six officers charged in the freddie gray case. cnn is live in baltimore this morning. >> good morning. the big, looming question is, can a fair and impartial jury be found right here in baltimore? jury selection is going to start a little over an hour in the courthouse behind me. up first is william porter. judge williams severed all of the defendants trials, so there will be six individual trials. this is a critical one. this will be sort of the prototype to see if that jury can be found. william porter is charged with very serious offenses. first of all, involuntary manslaughter. second degree assault. misconduct in office. reckless endangerment. these are serious felonies, for
5:17 am
the most part. the fact is, 75 to 80 jurors will come into the courthouse in a little over an hour. they will be questioned by the judge. with a showing of hands. then if there are answers that have to be explained, like what do you know about this case, do you have an opinion? what is that opinion? can it will set aside? then they'll go into a conference room and out of the earshot of anyone, the explanations will come. individual questioning. it may take time, but william porter was not there at the beginning when freddie gray was arrested and taken to the original police van. he came in midway, and critical was this statement where he says he asked freddie gray when he said, do you need medical attention and he said yes. he was not taken to a hospital. >> thanks for all of that. on a lighter note, if you went to bed before the end of last night's patriots-bronco
5:18 am
game, we have the recap. i could tell you about it or call in coy with the overtime thriller in this morning's bleacher report. >> i got your back. good morning to you. new england's dream of a pristine season fell like a snow fake flakes on the fans in the stands. this would have been the 17th meeting between tom brady and peyton manning. but peyton didn't feel so good. osweiler got denver to the go-ahead score. up by three with a minute left to play. plenty of time for brady h.. he pushes the patriots into position. got it to overtime. in ot, c.j. anderson, he locked legend status for the night, at least. quicker than a hiccup on this 48 yard walkoff td. broncos beat the patriots, moving to 9-2, handing new england their first loss of the season. pats now, 10-1.

donald trump's campaign cancelling a scheduled news conference with 100 black pastors. trump's campaign had said the religious leaders would endorse trump. what happened? here to talk about this is national spokesperson for the trump campaign and national tea party leader, katrina peresson. thank you for being here. >> good morning, alison. it turns out the 100 black pastors were not planning to endorse donald trump. how did you guys get that one so wrong? >> well, the idea was, the coalition of pastors were going to be meeting with mr. trump and some of them are endorsing mr. trump.
5:25 am
but because the press conference made waves in the media, as it would, a lot of the pastors were concerned then they might get backlash if they weren't one of the pastors that were endorsing at this time. so the campaign decided, you know what? we want to have the meeting. all the pastors will meet with mr. trump and we'll close it to the media. >> it sounds like some of the pastors were never planning to endorse mr. trump, despite the backlash you talk about. let me read to you one of the bishops, a prominent bishop in detroit. she put out a scathing statement on facebook, where she says, trump is an insult and embarrassment but representing the country we have become. zero experience, flaunting unbridled bigotry, sexism, racism and everything that is wrong with america. sounds like she'd never endorse trump. did you not talk to these folks beforehand? >> no, like i said, some weren't
5:26 am
going to be endorsing donald trump but we were attending the meeting, which is why they cancelled the press conference. there was all the confusion that every pastor at the event was going to be endorsing, and that was not the case. >> right. >> that's why it's been closed off to the immediate jmedia. >> the confusion came from your campaign's press release. it was the trump press release that said they'd be endorsing them. mr. trump will be joined by 100 african-american pastors and religious leaders who will endorse the gop front runner after a private meeting at the trump tower. >> it is confusing, that all will be enforcing. however, it's probably going to be more than 100 that are going to be at this meeting. it's a coalition meeting. some of these pastors were not going to be endorsing to begin with. now, if the campaign had said, some of them won't be endorsing, it just was way too confusing, alison. the fact of the matter is, they're definitely going to be meeting with mr. trump, having
5:27 am
this coalition, and some are going to be endorsing mr. trump for president. >> is it possible, katrina, that sometimes, mr. trump and his campaign, playing loose with the facts, does end up fighting you guys? i mean, that was not a fact in the press statement. look, over the weekend, we've talked again about mr. trump saying there were thousands of extremists celebrating as the twin towers fell. no one has been able to find any shred of evidence of that. and that number. will he -- >> on that particular incident, yes, there have now been three archive newspapers that did talk about, that there were muslims in new jersey, new jersey city and patterson, to be specific, including a retired fbi agent, that was there at the time, saying they had several calls come in with people saying they saw the exact same thing. >> yes, but -- >> we understand there's not a ton of video showing that, alison. hold on a second. we don't have the video because
5:28 am
the iphone didn't drop until 2007. the media can't base everything prior to that on the amount of the absentee film videos. >> that's not why we don't have the videos. it was because there weren't thousands of people. several calls is completely different than thousands of people celebrating. >> the fbi agent says pages and pages of calls, and several people from new jersey have taken to the internet to say, i saw it, too. now, we're saying, did it or did it not happen? yes, it happened. if we're talking about the magnitude, we're talking about the wrong thing. >> katrina, the magnitude is what makes this so shocking. if there were one or two people celebrating, obviously, those are the outliers. >> he probably didn't count every head he saw on the television. it was in jersey city, it was in patterson.
5:29 am
>> there were not thousands and thousands. in fact, even the fbi agent whom you cite, says that they did get many calls. i'll read what he says. most of the calls, he said, were deemed unimportant. the agency, the fbi, did not see fit to initiate investigations. in other words, there may have been -- >> just like the individuals that were detained on that day for celebrating. >> okay. katrina, you're sticking with the story that there were thousands and thousands of people celebrating? >> i'm sticking with the story that there were muslims in patterson and jersey city celebrating. an individual on his construction site watched it. a lady watched the tailgate party. we're sticking to that. i don't know why the media is trying to suppress the radical islamic action in this country. maybe we should talk about that. >> you can't say, how many isis members are there? five? no, actually, 5,000. no, actually, 5 million.
5:30 am
there are distinctions between numbers. >> there are, just like president obama, is it going to be 10,000 refugees or 6,500? nobody knows. mr. trump saw it on television and others saw it and reported it. there is evidence and record of it happening. whether or not he sat there and counted every lat individual head, probably not. but it looked like a lot, like it did to a lot of people in jersey and new york city, by the way. >> thank you. we appreciate getting your perspective this morning. we also want you to know that the last gop debate of the year is two weeks away. it's happening right here on cnn. it will be moderated by our dear wolf blitzer. tuesday, december 15th, 9:00 p.m. eastern. meanwhile, chris is in paris for us. let's get back to him and all of the world leaders. >> all the way from paris, alison, that stuff about thousands of people, any number
5:31 am
of people cheering as the towers fell, is still untrue. it's as untrue here as it was back then on 9/11. what brings us here is 150 world leaders in paris for the cop21. the u.n.-sanctioned immedia eed climate change. they're here to find out how to make the world a better place. they're doing it in the midst of abject fear of future terror attacks. how do you strike this balance between keeping this place safe, this summit safe, and the civil liberties that have been so strongly embraced here in paris? we have a critical discussion when we come back. complicate th. like limiting where you earn bonus cash back. why put up with that? but the quicksilver card from capital one likes to keep it simple. real simple. i'm talking easy like-a- walk-in-the-park, nothing-to-worry-about, man-that-feels-good simple. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back

5:34 am
5:35 am
big news out of paris already. president obama acknowledging the u.s. is partly to blame for climate change. this comes as 150 world leaders gather here in paris for a historic week in the battle over climate change. the summit called cop21. massive security operation also underway. france on virtual lockdown for the summit here. let's bring in the international
5:36 am
affairs editor of france 24, along with a french journalist, stephen, who was one of the first to arrive on the charl"ch hebdo" attacks. president obama says having the summit in paris specifically is an act of defiance. showing the humanitarian world will not be deterred from the cause of freedom. yet, it's also a great distraction. how do you focus on climate change when you have 120,000 military and police, unknown terror networks. how do you dallas thebal balanc? >> the french have this deliberate effort to link the two presiding over this throughout the next ten days. france's foreign minister said the fact all of you are here, speaking to the 150 world leaders who gathered, shows that civilization will win out over all that is barbaric. there is a certain amount of good wiwill.
5:37 am
there is defiance, determination, as these leaders go in to this climate conference. with, of course, these extraordinary security measures all around. i think that rather than divide, it'll probably unite. doesn't take away the real obstacles the leaders face, in trying to design this first universal -- >> tried before and failed. >> the big word on everyone's mind but no one speaks is copen hague -- copenhagen. what they come up with is up for grabs. there are divisions between a number of countries about what the treaty should include. >> president obama only mentioning the copenhagen situation in terms of the commitment now by the u.s. when you look at the situation here, president obama sold the urgency of climate control by saying it is the biggest threat americans face. bigger than terror. it's hard to make that case now, especially in paris, isn't it? >> well, yeah. it's hard to make that case
5:38 am
because a lot of people don't think with their brains anymore. they think just with their hearts. that's exactly the problem. i personally think that climate change is the biggest challenge we've ever faced as humanity. terrorist attacks, of course, are horrible, but it's nothing compared to what lies ahead. >> why? >> we already see a link between a huge number of refugees and climate change. it's a small link but important one. we'll see far more climate migrants, as well. the climate change is getting far more people than terrorism is. that's the harsh truth, but we have to express it anyway. >> we're having this conversation in the midst of what happened two weeks ago. paris has 120,000 military and police. 8,000 of this and 3,000 of this. they locked it down, closed the beltway around paris. similar to the beltway we have around washington , d.c. it's extended for three months
5:39 am
instead of the 12 days it says in the constitution, for emergency situations. >> you saw it forcibly out on the streets around where you've and i have been speaking the last couple weeks. there had been all kinds of planned demonstrations for the ten days of this conference. to deal with the climate. people on the street calling for greater action. they believe these heads of state and government are going to take this week and next. all of them, of course, cancelled by the state of emergency. last night, people went out of the place de la republique, and there were 300 arrests. that's a huge number. many of them were die-hard activists that came out to make themselves known. saying we're against the state of emergency itself. it began as a movement of people wanting to make their voices heard on the question of global warming and was a movement of
5:40 am
extreme radicals against the idea of the state of emergency. >> changing the tenor and tone of -- >> under the state of emergency, more than 20 or so environmental activists were placed under house arrests. this is hugely controversial. >> before the protests. >> my point is, to take it a step further, how did you let these people come into the place de la republique under a state of emergency with all this manpower? you had thousands out there last night. what does it say about the capabilities and the balance? >> it's probably a simple logistical reason. paris is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. people are everywhere. you can't tell them to stay home. then you have to put a police officer in front of every door. maybe that's something the government would actually want to, considering what they've been doing the last two weeks. it's technically not possible to prevent these events. the demonstration yesterday started as a human chain, which was a smart way to get rid of
5:41 am
the contradictions, people holding hands. unfortunately, it was out of hand. two to three people messed the whole situation up. it was not possible to contain the situation before the demonstrations were going on. simply because there were logistical limits to what the police can do. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> our hope is that while there is a big development, big break through on the climate level, this is a non-event on the security level for the summit and beyond. back to you in new york. >> we hope that, as well, chris. we'll check back in with you. meanwhile, today is the day to hop online and cash in on alleged great deals. will cyber monday beat black friday? we'll crunch the numbers for you.

it's cyber monday. this is something that was made up out of the blue ten years ago, from the retailers to try to drum up sales after black friday. today, online sales expected to top 3 billion for the first time, up 12% from last year. cyber monday is growing but black friday, it's fading. it's still one of the biggest shopping days of the year. crowds were smaller this year. more people moved to online shopping. they shop throughout the month instead of waiting for one specific day. now they're calling it black november instead. michaela, here are the three things you need to know. it has to be 30% off or more. you have to have free shipping. unlimited returns. >> of course. >> keep your standards high, folks. >> not my first cyber monday. thanks so much. the chicago police officer charged in the deadly shooting of a teen is about to find out if he'll be allowed to make bail. we'll hear from the attorney for laquan mcdonald's family next. first, this sunday, we pay tribute to the cnn heros of 2015. here's a look.

chicago police officer jason van dyke back in court today to learn if he will be granted bail after the release of the graphic dash cam video, showing him shooting 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. joining us is the attorney for laquan mcdonald's family, jeffrey neslund. thank you for being here. the general public is just learning about this case because the videos were just recently released. this happened a year ago. laquan's family has been dealing with this loss for a year. you have been trying to investigate, to figure out what happened. what led up to this shooting. i know one of the things you did was you went to the burger king that is seen in a little bit of the dash cam video. laquan ran in front of a burger king. you went there to get their surveillance footage. there was 86 minutes that were apparently missing from their surveillance video. what do you believe what happened to that video? >> well, i believe what we were
5:53 am
told by the burger king employees. we spoke to the manager, the employees that were there that might nig night, the district manager. they told us, my partner, mike robbins and myself, that police came into the restaurant shortly after the shooting, demanded access to the video system, and the next day when the district manager came to look at the footage, it was gone. it was deleted. i take them at their word. >> what do you think would that video, if it were there, would reveal? >> well, there's no doubt it wouldn't show the actual shooting. the shooting happened just south of the burger king. but it would have shown the events leading up to the shooting. the chase through the parking lot, the chase in front of the restaurant, and it would have shown the police interaction with witnesses in the drive-through after the shooting. >> this officer, as we all know, has been arrested. he's been charged with murder. laquan's family did get a substantial settlement from the city. >> right. >> obviously, they don't want
5:54 am
him to make -- the officer to make bail today. beyond that, what does his family want to see happen? >> they would like to see the officer prosecuted to the full extent of the law. you have to understand, this family is still grieving. they're in shock over all of this. and i know they want, not just the shooter, but in my opinion, everyone responsible who tried to cover this up or tried to justify what cannot be justified. should be held accountable. >> by that, you mean the police superintendent? >> well, i'm not going to get into political finger pointing. i don't think there is any doubt this could have been handled differently. if you really want to have transparency and accountability in your department, if you want to build trust in the community, this could have been and should have been handled differently. >> the police union is standing by officer van dyke. they're paying for his attorney. his attorney was on cnn last week, on erin burnett's show,
5:55 am
and gave what he says was the rational for the shooting. i'll play that for you. >> when he jumped out of the car, the subject made a motion, which put my client in fear that this individual was perhaps going to attack him with a knife. >> mr. neslund, it sounds like that's what they will say during the trial, that he felt in danger. what's your response? >> sure. well, i -- first, i've known dan herbert a long time. he's an excellent attorney and he'll do a great job for his client. that said, you cannot justify this shooting. the idea or suggestion that my client was threatening anyone, from 12, 15 feet away, is ridiculous. once he's on the ground and he is shot repeatedly, that's nothing but first degree murder, in my opinion. >> jeffrey neslund, thank you for your perspective. we will check back in with you as this case progresses. thanks so much for your time on
