hello to those of you joining us from the united states and a warm welcome pack to our viewers from all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm errol barnett. here are the top stories we're following for you right now. a former neighbor and friend of the san bernardino shooter said he plotted an attack with farook in 2012. they abandoned the plan because they were spooked by arrests at the same time. >> ash carter says the u.s. is willing to send in military

advisories, and apache helicopters to help iraqi forces to retake ramadi from isis. the militant group has not been cane t contained, he said, but the u.s. is building momentum. >> people charged with conspiracy after a series of counterterrorism raids across sydney. police say the group was part of a group planning attacks on government buildings. donald trump says he is right in wants to temporarily ban muslims from entering the united states. and he insists the public agrees with him. >> we want to bring you more of his interview with our don lemon where he talks about why his party's criticizing him even though he says he's good for the republican brand. >> we need a dialogue in this country and throughout the world. we have a big problem, and as

you know, i have many friends who are muslims. they're phenomenal people. they are so happy at what i'm doing. i was called by three people today, very big. they said you are doing a tremendous service. because unless people are going to be talking about it, it won't be solved. >> a lot of people are unhappy. you're even getting criticism from your own party, from reince priebus. >> i'm getting criticism from people running against me who are doing poorly. i see jeb bush and others criticizing me. although jeb bush said good things about me the other day. did you hear? he said i'm a great talent. >> even dick cheney, they're all chr criticizing what you did. >> when i did the thing about mexico and the border, i got

more than what i'm getting right now. everybody said that was going to be the end, and three weeks later, everybody agreed with me that i was right. they call came onto my side. the group that is not criticizing me is the public. the public agrees with what i said. they saw those two animals last week go out and shoot people, and the husband and wife, the wife came here on a phony visa, on a visa, that, frankly, it's disgraceful he was able to come here. a disgusting, disgraceful thing. so the people that are with me 100% are the people. and that's, frankly, all that matters. >> your critics in the party believe, and i don't know if you do. they say it may be good for your brand, but it's bad for the republican brand. are you concerned about that? >> they don't believe anything. they believe what's good the for them. they don't care about anything else. i think it's going to be an

asset, just like illegal immigration was an asset. >> here's what jeb bush tweeted. he said maybe donald negotiated a deal with clinthillary clinto. here's a place that you saw the pledge. are you going to break this pledge? >> i think it's highly unlikely unless they break the pledge to me. it's a two-way street. they said they will be honorable. i can't tell you if they are, but the establishment is not exactly being very good to me. i'm leading in every poll by a lot. it looks like i'm going to win. my whole life has been about winning. i'm not like so many of the other people that you talk to that is essentially losers, okay? i know how to win. i intend to win. it's the best way of beating the democrats. if i get the nomination. i want to run as a republican.

i'm a republican. i'm a conservative. i've had just tremendous bonding. but you saw the poll that came out in usa today that 68% of the people would follow me, and it's a higher number if you say sort of follow me. >> then why would you say that if you -- >> somebody else took the poll. just so you understand, that's nothing i want to do. i want to do it just the way i'm doing it. i want to win iowa. i want to win new hampshire. i want to win south carolina. i want to win se kre and nevada. i want to win the whole group, and i have the capability, and i think i have the numbers to run the table. you know what running the table is? >> i know what you mean by that. let's say you had to run as an independent. you think you could win? >> i think it would be much tougher to win as an independent. i think i could win, but it would be much tougher to win as an indpeependent. i'd rather not do that.

>> he also pressed trump on his ban proposal. >> he said there are problems in the u.s. that need to be resolved. >> reporter: so you have been saying until we figure out what's going on. what does that mean? figure out what? what is there to figure out? >> why is there such hatred and viciousness? why is somebody willing to fly airplanes into the world center and go after it prior to that. they failed, but they did tremendous damage, and after they failed, they actually took airplanes into the world trade center. where does this hatred come from? why does it come? we have to figure it out. we have problems. so when you surveil the mosques, i took a lot of heat for the surveillance of the mosques. now, other people are saying we have to surveil the mosques. we have to find out where does this hatred come from. but it seems to be one group. i mean, the people that flew the

planes into the world trade center, and many other things, not only in this country but other countries. look around the world. we have to find out why and where is it coming from? >> so how would you do it? how -- and to be practical, how would you put this policy into action? what do you? >> you have to go through a series of questions. you have to go through a series of paperwork and find out where they're coming from, but we can't allow radical killers into this country. >> donald trump talking to our don lemon there. and a petition to ban donald trump from entering the united kingdom is picking up steam and fast. it was posted on parliament's website tuesday, and now has more than 380,000 signatures. >> pretty incredible. any petition with more than 100,000 names is considered by

parliament petition committee. the person behind it is surprised it got so much traction. they'll decide on whether to send it to the house of commons for debate. want to turn to chicago where the mayor is apologizing and vowing to fix a trust problem between police and the community. >> the protesters say that is not enough. rosa flores is there. >> reporter: protesters turn up the heat in chicago asking for the mayor to step down. following a string of high profile deadly police shootings caught on tape. >> you covered up a videotape that we want you fired. >> reporter: they hit the streets after the mayor's speech about police accountability and justice at city hall. >> your government's first responsibility is to keep you and your family safe and to make sure you feel safe in your neighborhoods, and we have clearly fallen short on this

issue. and that needs to change. >> reporter: just a few blocks away, in federal court, city attorneys argued against the release of another police shooting video. this time of cedric chapman, an unarmed black teen and carjacking suspect who was shot and killed by police in early 2013. the city's argument in court? the release could taint a jury pool, and among other things, be misused by the media. but the chapman family attorney points to the recent release of the laquan mcdonald and ronald johnson videos and calls on the mayor to make the chapman video public. >> if they want to come out and really lead the charge that he wants change, here's the opportunity. >> reporter: in court, the judge said there is a lot of interest in this, and for good reason. but decided not to release the video for you, pending a review of the law by both sides. in a statement, the city's law

department said the city of chicago clearly needs a new policy around releasing videos that accounts for all issues and we're working on it with the help of the recently appointed task force. the mayor has replaced two city officials in less than two weeks, including the police superintendent. but as the protesters march, they say the mayor should be next. >> he said the buck stops with me. would you like for him to stay and try to fix the problem? >> of course not. we already know what he can do behind closed doors. he can hide videos. we're not having that. >> reporter: rosa flores, cnn, chicago. >> the man accused of a fatal ho shooting at a women's clinic appeared in court. >> we have the details of the hearing. >> reporter: the tension built slowly in the courtroom. he sat there look like he was

going to speak a couple times as his lips slightly moved, and suddenly he burst out, i am guilty. there is no trial. i'm a warrior for the babies. he continued with these outbursts almost 20 of them. the judge just sat this patiently. no one did anything until a bailiff finally put his hand on his shoulder to quiet him. he took a shot or two at his public defender, dan king. king, you may recall, represented james hoem. he's the movie theater or batman shooter in colorado. here's what dear said about his attorney. >> do you know who this lawyer is? he's the lawyer for the batman shooter that drugged them all up. that's what they want to do to me. >> king came out came out and talked about a competency issue. and then another outburst. you'll never know what i saw in a clinic. that's what they want to seal.

finally the prosecutor announced the charges. 179 felony counts including eight of them for murder. he explained that while there are three deceased victims, there are different theories of murder, and that's why there are more charges. reporting from colorado springs, now back to you. the governor of the state of washington has declared a state of emergency after flooding rains and landslides continue to hammer the region. we are joined now to talk more about this. it's terrible. >> the declared state of emergency is going to allow for resources to be opened up from the washington national forward to help. it's becoming dire in many of the small communities amongst the mountains in this state. take a look at the footage from a river that overspilled the banks, made its way across a roadway. this heavy rain, and then picked up steam and gathered a lot of mud, creating a landslide or a mud slide, which you're looking

at on the tv. it ran into a person's house. there was a rescue attempt. there were people inside of this house, and fortunately, the rescuers and the people being rescued did manage to get out safely without being harmed, but let me show you what really took place here. why do we get mud slides? after days of rainfall, eventually that rain soaks into the soil. gravity wins, and is lope is failing there. there's another angle as well. often the water can undercut the roads, creating extremely dangerous travel conditions. can you imagine just traveling on this mountain pass and having the road just give way underneath you? it's because of the storm systems that continue to impact the pacific northwest. we've been talking about it for several days. now there's a brief low in the heavy precipitation for seattle. it's set to come back late on thursday as another cold front and low pressure set into the

region. november is the wettest month of the year. we're starting to work into a quieter period, but nonetheless, we still have our heavy rainfall in this forecast, and this time it extends san francisco to reno and redding, at least a half an inch of rainfall. on top of this, coastal flooding. there's a combination of factors. the low pressure pushing up the pacific ocean waves, battering the northwest. but you include the high tides taking place now and the high river levels from the recent flooding, and the water has nowhere to go but up. that creates the coastal flood conditions that's a concern. there's a flip side to this story. the jetstream creating the wet weather is also bringing a ridge to the east coast, allowing the temperatures to remain well above average. wait until you see these temperatures across atlanta into washington and new york city. i'm going to leave you with

this, rosemary and errol. we've been talking about bay jang sm beijing smog. they have cleared up. it's been a rough go for the past several days. >> too bad it doesn't last long. ? right. >> good to see. thanks. >> still to come on "cnn newsroom," we are hours away from the start of awards season in los angeles. a film critic gives us his predictions for the golden globe nominations. you can't work from home when you're sick. you need real relief. alka-seltzer plus day cold & flu has three cold symptom fighters to relieve your tough symptoms.

the nominations for the golden globes are just hours away from being announced. tom o kneneil joins us with his picks. >> good to be here, thanks. >> the golden globes we know are considered an indicator of what the oscar crowd likes and doesn't like. it's important to get your sense of what's a favorite. with that in mind, will this be leonardo dicaprio's year?

>> it looks like he's finally got the role that's big and feels important. he's lost four times at the oscars, but he has won a golden globe. he won for the aviator. this is like an oscar crystal ball. last year the globe's correctly predicted all the acting races, and the year before, three of the four. >> and tom, best film drama, that's the big one everyone is waiting for. what are the movies you think? what are your picks? >> well, we have 25 experts at gold derby from the associated press, entertainment weekly, usa today, and they all say it's "spotlight". the movie about the boston sex scandal involving the catholic

church. i'm not sure that's out front. i think we're going to see the martian be very big in terms of numbers of nominations. the rwatch out for trumbo, and watch out for straight out of compton. both of those shows up today on the awards list for the screen actors build, and often that is a telltale of what's ahead? >> it's interesting to guess what the surprises may be. we spend a lot of time thinking that a leading movie will get the nod, and then sometimes you get surprises like that that happen. what about the movie train wreck? this is a fan favorite. this is amy schumer who is behind it. could she get a nod in the best actress category in that could be a shock. >> they tend to like more

cerebral, briainy things. they decided, hollywood did, that the martian is a comedy. everyone is outraged about this because it's not, of course. but it's going to compete there, so it's hard to imagine that losing unless it loses to "joy". and it's a wonderful film. it's my favorite movie of the year. it's a great comedy. we have a real contest there. i don't think train wreck has a chance of winning, but amy would have to get around jennifer lawrence. that's not going to happen. >> tom, every year there are the people who get snubbed. who do you think is going to be in that category this year? >> wow. that's a good question. we're wondering if jennifer lawrence could be snubbed because she wasn't nominated

this morning. neither was matt damon for the martian or michael keaton for spotlight, and all three of them could conceivably win the oscar. how could they have been snubbed by their own guild? it's hard to get your mind around what's going to happen. >> it's good to hear your picks. our viewers can head to your website, goldderby.com. >> thanks. >> and there's another big movie. a lot of people are talking about it. you can almost feel the force getting closer. on monday, star wars the force awakens will open. >> some people say the official chinese poster of the movie is racist. matt rivers has more from beijing. >> the new film, the force awakens won't open in chinese movie theaters like this one

until january 9th, but the film is being marketed here. disney placed storm trooper figurines on the great wall of china to promote, but not all the attention has been positive. some fans were quick to point out differences between the u.s. version and chinese version of the official movie poster. in the u.s. version on the left, the actor playing fin is a featured presence. on the chie side on the right, he's replaced by thai fighters. ford's films have appeared in mainland china before. by shrinking down one picture and enlarging others, some implied there was racism. >> chinese state media said any claims that chinese audiences were somehow racist are simply

untrue. so we showed the chinese version of the post tore some people on the street in beijing. >> i think we'll be fair to say that chinese people can be insensitive about race issues. >> it's nonsense. i don't think it matters. >> i don't think it will spark widespread discussion here. because people don't pay much attention to race issues here. >> it's worth noting that western movies released here in china regularly have different movie posters. take spiderman 2. the u.s. version on the left, and the chinese version on the right. >> we can't say what motivated the change in the chinese version of this new "star wars" poster, but safe to say it's pr that the movie could have done out. matt rivers, cnn, beijing. >> well have more "cnn newsroom" after a quick break. we'll have all the top stories from around the world.

>> i don't think so. i don't think so. >> reporter: islamaphobe? >> not at all. >> many people are on edge about trump's comments. as well as the impact his running as an independent could have on the race. >> trump says the party attackers are trying to get attention for himself. we have more. >> donald trump is on a roll. so far, an unstoppable one. >> i'm leading every single poll, and nationwide, i'm leading in every one of them. obviously i'm happy where i am. >> reporter: that's what worries many republicans. the gop ranks are rattled over trump's proposal to ban muslims from entering the country. afraid it would threaten their congressional majority. the first indian governor of carolina said his comments were damaging to the gop. >> it's an embarrassment to the

republican party. it's un-american and unconstitutional. it defies everything this country was based on, and the it's just wrong. >> reporter: trump pushed back saying some of his fellow republicans were grand standing. >> when i came out against illegal immigration, everybody fought the same way. two weeks later, everybody was on my side. >> reporter: the international outcry intensifies. benjamin netanyahu said he rejects plans to block muslims. trump is set to meet with netanyahu later this month. the prime minister is now facing pressure to cancel the meeting. on the campaign trail today, rival republicans hope the fallout will loosen trump's grip on the race. >> mr. trump is not a serious person or candidate. he's inflammatory and he makes the task for the next president

harder. >> reporter: people fear trump at the top of the ticket could hurt their party. >> it's not going to help us win the general election in november. we wouldn't win ohio with that kind of message. >> reporter: yet some republicans are also unwilling to agitate trump. fearful of him running as a third party candidate. a possibility he raised again today with don lemon. >> reporter: are you going to break this pledge? >> it's unlikely but it's a two-way street. >> reporter: trump can be a sore loser. he lost today as person of the year. awarded to angela merkel. it prompted trump to tweet this. i told you time magazine would never pick me as person of the year, despite being the big favorite. they big the person who's ruining germany. >> reporter: when you talk to republican leaders like the ohio state chairman, they worry trump could damage the party's chances of heading onto the senate and winning the white house.

superintendent. but as the protesters march, they say the mayor should be next. he said the buck stops with me. could you like for him to say and try to fix the problem? >> of course not. we already know what he can do behind closed doors. he can hide videos, and we're not having that. >> reporter: rosa flores, cnn yrg chicago. >> reporter: timing is running out at the climate summit in paris. they've given themselves until friday to reach a final agreement. >> the draft document they're working on has been pared down from 43 pages to 29. the u.s. secretary of state says nations must come together to finish the job. >> no one country, not even the united states, which is the world east largest economy and together with china, the largest two together of the amount of gas, almost 40%.

no one country can solve this problem or foot the bill alone. and that's not rhetoric. the it's just plain physically impossible to do so. >> and on that point, kerry said even if the u.s. somehow eliminated all the greenhouse gas emissions, it wouldn't be enough to offset the damage being done in the rest of the world. >> some developing countries can't afford clean energy. >> we have reports from india where the government has to strike a balance between helping the global climate and the people. >> reporter: as the sunsets in this village, residents fire up their only source of light. this is how this woman prepares dinner every night. this is how her children do their homework. the it's like we're living in the cave, she says. all we see is darkness, everywhere. my children can't even study

properly. they have no future here. this village is just $100 miles from t -- 100 miles from the capital. electricity is something many of us take for granted but it hits do you when you come to a village like this. standing on a rooftop, and it's pitch black as far as you can see. in the morning, it's a different world, of course. she runs her errands as quickly as she can. daylight is precious heap. they say india progressing but nothing has happened here. they've forten about us, she says. no power means no television, fridges or fans. residents have to walk for miles to the nearest town to charge their phones. the government is trying. bringing power to villages like this means more greenhouse gases because coal is still the cheapest form of emergency.

at cop 21 when india says it can't agree to universal cap, the it's villages like these that they want to protect. >> reporter: it's one of the most challenging contradictions. how does it meet the needs of people who live in darkness, yet preserve the planet. not too far, the impact of development is already evident. i'm standing about 500 meters from one of india's biggest coal based power plants. the smog is so thick, the massive structure is barely v visible. it's gift to breathe here and i can feel the toxins in my lungs. india is the third emitter of greenhouse gases but india says it will continue to build one of these every month so that people like artie can also become part of india's 21st century growth story.

cnn. >> let's take a short break here. still to come, donald trump has people talking about what would happen if he quits the republican party. >> conspiracy theorists have a different idea of why trump is speaking out against muslim immigrants, and it involves his biggest competitor, hillary clinton. surely you can imagine what it is. i have asthma... ...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. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com.

>> a warm welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and, of course, all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm errol barnett. it's our last half hour with you this week. a former neighbor and friend of

san bernardino shooter, farook told investigators replotted an attack with him in 2012. he said they aban bonned the plan because they were spooked by arrests around the same time. >> ash carter says the united states is willing to send militaried a vooi visors and apache helicopters to help them retake the city of ramadi from isis. he said the militant group has not been contained but that the u.s. is building momentum against it. >> five people in australia charged with conspiracy to plan a terrorist attack. this comes after a series of counterterrorism raids. they were part of a group planning attacks on government buildings. donald trump says he is getting supportive calls from

his muslim friends. >> trump told don lemon he's acting in the best interest of the islamic community. meanwhi meanwhile, fellow republicans are blasting his proposal, leading trump to think he can lead as an independent. >> if they don't treat me with a certain amount of respect, if they don't treat me as the front-runner, by far the front-runner, if the playing field is not level, then certainly all options are open. >> now, while donald trump maintains he's going to win the republican nomination, conspiracy si theorists have a wildly different idea. >> and it involves hillary clinton. >> reporter: democrat hillary clinton, republican donald trump. fierce front running foes, but some say hold on.

what if trump with his polarizing style is not winning to win but to split the republican vote. maybe donald negotiated a deal with his buddy, hillary clinton, jeb bush tweeted, continuing this will put her in the white house. and carly fiorina. >> carly fiorina is clinton clinton's christmas gift wrapped under a tree. >> reporter: trump is spending a lot of time attacking the republicans. >> cruz is going to have to hit me. >> bush is low in the polls. >> reporter: that's primary politics, but some say what about this. >> i was a democrat for a period of time early on. >> reporter: that's true. he's donated heavily to republican and democratic candidates. while she savages clinton now -- >> she was the worst secretary of state in the history of the

united states. listen to what he did before. >> i like her. >> clinton's attended his wedding, and their daughters are pals, all of which drives the conspiracy crowd to wonder if a secret democratic tunnel is being dug to the oval office. >> this is a conspiracy. >> like in the shawshank redemption. >> everyone is in on it. including her. >> reporter: and helping her. that would be very unrepublican, indeed. cnn, washington. >> all right. more stories still to come. the man accused of a fatal shooting at a women's clinic in colorado interrupts a hearing with outbursts. >> and celebrities are joining a push for stricter gun control. you'll hear their message after this short break. nowhere. now i use this.

the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology, helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq.

a strange scene at a court hearing for the man charged with shooting up a women's clinic in colorado and killing three people. take a look. >> the babies were supposed to be aborted that baby. could you add that to the list? seal the truth, huh? kill the babies. that's what planned parenthood does. you'll never what i saw in that clinic. atrocities. that's what they want to seal, the babies. >> robert dear also shouted that she was y a quote, warrior for the babies. he's facing 179 felony counts, including first degree murder. >> the deadly mass shooting has led to a push for stricter gun control laws. >> they're enlisting the help of

celebrities and some victims to get attention. >> we. >> can. >> we. >> can. >> we. >> can. >> we. >> can. >> and we can. >> we can end. >> gun violence. >> gun violence. >> we can end gun violence. >> we can end gun violence. >> when we come together, americans can do anything. >> we can end gun violence. >> brian stelter joins me to talk more about this. brian, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> celebrities, again, joining the fight to end gun violence. how much more powerful is that message likely to be when it comes from the likes of amy schumer, jennifer aniston? >> if there's one thing we know is celebrities have a lot of cultural power, a lot of power

to reach big audiences these days on twitter and facebook and other social networks sites. this video is getting a lot of attention and shared in many places thanks to the a list stars. they've done this before. we've seen them do this in the past. this is an opportune time in the wake of what happened in san bernardino, but i would say it's not the first time we've seen these celebrities trying to do this. >> how exactly are they proposing the gun violence can be stopped given u.s. politicians are clearly not willing to take a stand on this, and not a lot has happened since sandy hook in 2012. >> that's right. the last video came out in 2012. we haven't seen significant change on this front. they're working with a group called every town. it's trying to be a counterweight to the nra in the united states. a video like this is about

signing up people to the e-mail list and encouraging do nations and trying to create momentum for what the group is trying to accomplish. for example, they're trying to get more politicians in office and support their gun control measures. they're trying to create more financial pressure on gun control companies. you watch this video. what the celebrities want you to do is sign up for the mailing list and get involved. >> the season finale of south park also took on the controversial issue of gun control. >> turn out the lights and go back to bed. i'm staying up. >> march up to your room. >> no. no means no, bill cosby. >> i told you to go upstairs right uh-now. i'm not going to tell you again. it's time for night night sfwlchlt. >> put down the gun. >> i'm your mother.

>> i'm going to bed, mom. chill out. >> all right. no no comic books. straight to sleep. i love you. >> i love you too, mom. night night. >> wow. he, he listened. >> so, brian, the message hammered home there, but for some sections of society, the answer to gun violence is to arm the whole town, so for them, they would be unmoved by this and critical and angry that they're being looked at. what's achieved? >> you see the creators of south park oftentimes trying topical humor in outrageous ways. they turn these episodes around quickly. they're reacting almost in realtime to recent events of gun violence in the u.s. i would say that in this country, there's probably no issue that people are more polarized about than the issue of guns. a show like south park reaches a

young audience that probably already agrees with its political views. whether you see celebrities in this video ar the creators of south park with their message, the idea is largely true. i think you see an urban rural divide as well. "the new york times," an article over the weekend. lots of readers in urban areas agree. a lot of folks elsewhere criticizing it. the same thing is true with a show like south park, to some extent. >> we'll see how the message is received. brian stelter, thank you so much. always a pleasure. >> thank you. we want to bring you breaking news coming to us from india. local media saying the bombay high court has acquitted a star in a hit and run case. he had been sentenced to five

years in prison. we will have an update on the story. it's been one that has been watched closely for a long time. how much of a surprise is this? >> it's a huge surprise just because just in may he was sentenced to five years in prison, and also, of course, convicted of culpable homicide. not many people here were expecting this at all. it's a huge deal here, because some, you can't overstate how important he is, how famous he is in this country. he starred in over 80 films here. four of the ten top grossing movies in indian cinema history. he's starred in those. when people from outside ask how would you equate him to a hollywood star, many people say he's a combination of tom cruise, and george clooney.

he's still considered the ultimate heart throb here, and he's still one of the most coveted stars right now. he's also the host of one of india's biggest reality tv shows called big boss. this is a massive star. when the conviction came out back in may, many people had sort of said that this is a big deal for india because it shows that even the most famous people, even the richest people, can be held candidatable for their crimes, and now the bombay high court is basically acquitting him of all charges, saying the prosecution did not have, or could not prove for a fact that he was, in fact, driving that car back in 2002 that ran over five people who were sleeping on the pavement outside his house. >> and you can just take a look online, searching his name as a hash tag. people reacting. there appears to be a scramble

outside the the court. is this the final word? any chaps of this being reversed in the criticism is the judicial system there is krumt. >> reporter: that's right. many are saying this is a mockery of the judicial system or a victory of the judicial system as well. what will happen next? most likely the prosecutors will appeal to a higher court, most likely, the supreme court. this will likely go on. but for now, at least, huge relief for him and his millions of fans, all the directors and producers who support him. all the brands that he's the face of many brands in india. this is a huge relief for him, but still too early to say that what will happen next. >> thank you. acquitted in the fatal hit and run from 2002.

thank you very much. >> flooding rains and mud slides slam the u.s. pacific northwest. we will tell you why it's not over yet. we're back with that. we stop arthritis pain, so you don't have to stop. tylenol® 8hr arthritis pain has two layers of pain relief. the first is fast. the second lasts all day. we give you your day back. what you do with it is up to you. tylenol®.

has declared a state of emergency. >> our meteorologist joins us to talk about how dangerous this is. >> they're opening up resources from the washington national guard to help with the dire state there. it is bad. the flooding seems to get worse. the rivers are swollen and they continue to rush down the mountain sides. take a look at what's happening. this is in south western washington. water trickling down in a torrent, and eventually seeing the mud combined with this to create the landslide that went into the side of a house. there were people inside. there was a rescue attempt. everyone got out safely. it was an ordeal for that family and the individuals inside as well as the rescuers trying to

rescue the people indoors. now, this is why we get these mud slides. remember, we have mountains across the area. the cascades. the foothills of those mounta s mountains, but the rain we've experienced lately, eventually soaking into the soil day after day after day of heavy rain. gravity eventually wins. we see that failure of the slope. the slope just can't quite hold that weight anymore. when you combine the soil and the heavy rainfall, and eventually we see that slope fail. it can often go over overpasses and roadways. consider this picture. just for instance, how dangerous it would be to be traveling along the mountain overpass and the ground gives away underneath you. scary stuff wouldn't want the to encounter something like that. the threat continuing thereto weekend. a brief lull in the precipitation, but that is going to change by late thursday into friday. here it is, the next storm

system winding up across the allusion islands. you can already see it in seattle and the northern sections of california. for seattle, this is typically just coming off of november, as our wettest month of the calendar year, it has been above average, and december so far has been above average as well. we'll start to see the frequency and sweintensity of the rain events, hopefully decrease into the rest of the winter months. we talk about what's happening now because that's most important. we have anywhere between four, perhaps locally five inches of additional rainfall. northern california, the west coast of oregon and orn california. this is thanks to our strong low pressure system funneling all this moisture into the area. think about this. you combine big waves, high

tide. there's a gravitational force, and high rivers. there's the potential for coastal flooding. a quick update on beijing. we have been talking act the extreme air pollution there. beijing has lifted its first pollution red alert which was in effect until yesterday. a cold front cleared things out. we hope it will stay that way. this weekend, it's set to settle in again. >> vacuum sucked it up and put it in the bricks. >> if you can come up with that technology, you'll be rich. >> now, when you think of christmas, you usually don't think about zombies, hopefully, but a u.s. man's in a nnativity is getting a lot of attention for that. >> it has all of the people undead, and it's led to a

christmas controversy. here's our affiliate, wpco. >> reporter: when they brought their family out to look at the christmas display, it wasn't a complete success. that's because the nativity display might seem more appropriate for halloween than christmas. there's joseph and mary and even the baby jesus as zombies. >> i like it. >> why? >> it's different. >> the nativity has been getting global publicity if he was threatened to be fine. >> the zombies and baby jesus made a lot of people mad. >> the township said the undead are irrelevant. >> the structure had nothing to do with the zombies. >> reporter: many people assumed people were upset about the holy family being zombies.

the township received several e-mails telling them to stop enteer fearing with the display. i hope you guys get can coal. this is what the display looked like before. >> you have a structure that's that big, the zoning says you can't are have that. >> reporter: he had fines. he made the display smaller by removing the top piece. >> he made the structure complia compliant and we're done. >> reporter: this holiday horror will continue to scare or delight those who walk by. >> why would you take your kids to that? one last trump story before we go. he sat down with time magazine for an interview recently, and we're getting a look behind the scenes for the first time. things didn't go quite to plan. he was posing with an iconic

symbol of america, a bald eagle. it seemed to take a liking to his hair. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> didn't go quite as planned. >> if you look closely, the eagle handler can say he's tamed donald trump's hair. >> he did, didn't he. thanks for watching cnn. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm errol barnett. we'll see you here next week informal early start is next for those of you in the states. >> elsewhere, stay tuned for
