cuba is mourning its long-time leader fidel castro this week. 21-gun salutes will be fired at the beginning and end of the mourning period with his funeral next sunday. canons will be firing several time as day through most of the week as well. >> starting wednesday castro's ashes will take a ceremonial journey across the country, retracing in reverse the same route the former leader and his rebels took inward to seize power in 1959. >> but the grief in cuba is being matched buyout wide celebrations elsewhere at home. castro is considered a hero a father figure to a nation. >> it is a very different story in the cuban exile community. castro is a hated figure. described as a brutal dictator responsible for pain and suffering. the world may never agree on the man that castro was but the mark

he leaves behind is undeniable. >> here with how people in havana are responding to his passing. >> reporter: a muted and subdued response to the news that fidel castro has died. we have seen this play out over the weekend. we have not seen an out pouring of grief or any real emotion taking place on the streets. you get the sense people are being very cautious. trying to figure out what they can and can't do. what they should and shouldn't do. that is something cubans in havana are trying to figure out whereas the government says it's officially beginning the process of a nine-day mourning period with the ashes and remains of fidel castro who was cremated. not many hours after the official announcement was made friday night that he had died of the age of 90. there will be a procession of people who come to the plaza of the revolution. this is the plaza where popes have held mass and this is where

10s of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of cubans are expected to appear and show their -- pay their respects. after that the remains of fidel castro will be caravanned from havana to santiago to cuba on the far east of the island where fidel castro was remains will be entered on sunday. this is the beginning of a long week of memorialization for castro. in the initial hours in the first day after his death in state-run television played very little about this news. it is now we're beginning to see constant coverage on state-run television and the memorials that have been play ogen the broadcast television for quite some time. all that beginning to play out in cuba. and communist leaders in asia are paying their respects

to fidel castro. among them, china's president. hi, there, alexandra. a number of governments across asia have expressed their condolences. >> reporter: there's a global impact to the death of fidel impact and a global out pouring. you've seen from somber to celebratory. but what we're seeing in asia and china is a tone of support. you've got the chinese president calling fidel castro a great leader for the cuban people, an intimate and sincere friend who made historical achievements for the world of socialism. castro had made one state visit to bejing but it was just in 2014 that president ping saw fidel castro and earlier this year second in command also went to see castro in cuba and that

was a sign of the warming of relations you've seen between these two communist countries in the past two decades or so. there were strained tensions between cuba and china during the cold war era. china is now cuba's largest trade partner and an expression of grief from china's leaders. it is similar in tone from other leaders in asia. specifically vietnam. they put a statement through their state news agency also expressing condolences for castro's family, expressing solidarity and unity with the cuban people. just a few weeks ago and it's believed he may have been the last state leader to meet with castro. castro had also travelled to vietnam a number of times. once in the war and again in the '90s and a third time early in the 2000s. 2003. that was also meant to strengthen the ties between

these two nations that have been close for so many decades. the vietnamese calling him a close comrad and brother who stood side by side with vietnam in its past struggle for reunification. china, vietnam voicing their support and sorrow and also some words from north korea where a three-day mourning period has been put in place out of respect for fidel castro. kim jung un, the leader of north korea issuing his own statement saying that castro was a prominent political activist who made distinguished contributions to extending the cause of independence through imperialism. >> yeah. certainly a contrast to other parts of the world and reaction there. alexandra field joining us from hong kong just after 3:00 in the

afternoon. a very different reaction in miami, florida. that's where cuban exiles have been celebrating since hearing the news of castro's death. here with the mood in little havana. >> reporter: it's hard to believe from the response we've seen here and in cuba that both communities are responding to the death of the same person. an extremely stark contrast. we're standing here the heart of the exile community in miami. the demonstrations are still going. they had a dj playing muse acshort while ago. the crowd noticeably smaller than it was friday and saturday when the news of fidel passing first broke. elion gonzales, a boy in the middle of a custody battle has come out and spoken favorably

about fidel and reflecting on his passing away saying he was a father figure to him. of course being a central figure in what many saw as a drama between the united states and cuba. his voice is certainly an interesting one. here is him again reflencting o the passing. >> translator: he is a father, who who like my father, i wanted to show him everything i achieved; that he would be proud of me. if i learned something and wanted to show him and there are still many things i want to show him. >> of course he was forcibly taken from his family's home in miami and sent back to cuba. people here don't really care for him as much as they used to when he was a child. a lot of that has to do with they see him as a propaganda

tool for tand it's hypocritical that his mother and several other people that he cast his hopes and dreams in the ocean with to try and escape cuba would try and get him off the island only for him to fully embrace the exact system his mother died trying to get him out of. despite that, the celebration continues in miami. it will continue probably for the next few days. it will likely continue to diminish as we've seen today. >> and earlier, our colleague, natalie allen spoke to author and journalist intimately familiar with castro and his family. she described her talks with castro decades earlier. >> he was, by then, in his early 70s. what he was saying in that interview, which was quite a big vanity fair piece at the time because he had stopped giving interviews for a period.

he was saying i met my greatest challenges as a leader after the age of 60 because he was referring to the collapse of the soviet union, which had been a very generous sponsor and patron of cuba to the tune of bill yngz of dollars for decades and he had lost that. and cuba was very adrift and the poverty was everywhere. so he was loathed to give interviews and eventually two trips i met him, first for like a half hour and then he gave me the second one, a kind of long three 1/2 hour long interview that covered many topics. >> he liked to talk for sure and you've interviewed him twice. i'm wondering what your take away was whether he was spinning

you or -- because he was a master of pr. >> yes, he was. he was a public relations genius and one of the wonderful comments in one of his letters to a comrad, he says never underestimate public relations, propaganda, is the word he used. he said it is the soul of our struggle, of our revolution and believe me he never forgot propaganda. >> and at this point cuba taking time for nine days of mourning given the loss of the former leader there. still ahead on cnn newsroom, civilians are on the run as government forces push into eastern aleppo. why the tide could be turning in syria's civil war. and in the disputed goalen heights, israeli soldiers come under fire and the response just ahead.

ground assault on eastern aleppo. >> they broke through rebel lines and entered into two eastern neighborhoods over the weekend. fred planken on more from london. >> reporter: these are arguably some of the most significant gains that syrian government's military forces have made at the civil war that the civil war has been going on. eastern aleppo for both the syrian government as well as the opposition is one of the main battle grounds in the civil war. it's the last urban strong hold where the rebels actually still hold a significant amount of territory. the rebels want to defend it almost at all costs and the syrian government and allied forces include iraqi shiite fighters and iranians want to take it at all cost. and that's why you see a major bombing campaign. 46 people killed in aleppo and the surrounding areas on

saturday alone. you also have artillery shelling alone. the united nations believes that up to 250,000 people might still be trapped inside eastern aleppo and unicef says 100,000 could very well be children and of course for them more than for any of the others the situation is very much catastrophic. they can't go out and play. they can't go to school. apparently in some cases people have set up playgrounds in basements to try and allow these children to have a little respite from the civil war. that same time food is running low, water is running low. medical supplies are in short supply as the u.n. says many have been wounded, many with medical conditions who can't get any treatment and can't get out to get any sort of treatment as well. so a very difficult situation.

but for the syrian government forces taking this one district in eastern aleppo and being able to enter and take parts of another district, that is a key military victory. some of those places have been held since july of 2012 and the syrian government forces haven't been able to get in there and many people we've been speaking to say they're quite surprised at how fast the progress seems to be going. it looks as though the tide seems to be turning in favor of syrian government forces, not just in the battle of aleppo but generally in syria's civil war. explaining the broad strokes of the story. now live from iman, jordan. also following the situation in aleppo. fi we talked about it for so many weeks, months. the rebels in east aleppo have

been surrounded for some time and losing ground. >> reporter: they have, the rebels have been surrounded. eastern aleppo has been under siege since july for month sdwz has been taking its toll. we saw them back in august break that siege briefly. it was for a few days but the regime managed to regain ground and put eastern aleppo and 275,000 residents under siege yet again. this is a tactic that syrian regime has been accused of, described as starve or surren r surrender. we have seen this in other parts of syria. the united nations estimates there are nearly a million people living under siege in eastern aleppo and other parts of the country. the vast majority are in rebel held areas and we are seeing the siege take its toll and when you talk to people there and we have

been talking to so many residents over the past few weeks and there has always been this fear that what happens in aleppo happens in other places. where it is going to be the starve or surrender where people will have no optioning but to surrender. there was a feeling that this was a mat of time before we saw this playing out. >> there is a statement from unicef that points out an estimated half a million children trapped in war torn parts of syria and of that, 100,000 possibly in aleppo itself. children who are trapped in what is just a hellish situation and we saw this image, if we could take it full screen. i'm sure you've seen this image of the little girl who has gained traction online, on twitterer as 100,000 followers but what more do we know about her situation?

>> reporter: well, george, she and her motherer have become an internet sensation. for months now they have been tweeting from eastern aleppo trying to give the world a glimpse into the life of one family, one child in eastern aleppo and we have been in touch with this family for more than two months now. and we have done reports extensively on their family and what happened is yesterday, actually over the past week we've seen these tweets by her mother saying that the bombs were falling closer and closer in their neighborhood. they posted video of the aftermath of the bombings and yesterday those really chilling messages coming from fatima saying what sounded like a goodbye. they had a feeling this was it for this family. and i messaged her a few hours later to check on the family and she told us their home took a direct hit. her house was destroyed and the

family was on the street at that point. they survived, everyone was fine but as you see, you're looking at her covered in dust, absolutely shell shocked. this is a girl so full of life, even with all that they have been going through, all the images, the videos of a little girl who's really always smiling and full of life no matter what. but that image yesterday and i asked fatima if she wanted to say anything and for the first time she said there's nothing left to be said. the world watched and was silent. >> nothing left to be said. unicef even pointing out when you talk about the situation with these children. underground libraries. these hidden play grounds for children. it's a terrible situation for these families, children. we're learning more about this little girl so many have followed online.

thank you for the reporting. we'll stay in touch. israel is stepping up surveillance of southern syria after militants linked to isis fired on israel soldiers in the disputed golan heights. >> israel respond would a deadly air strike. what's sniffer can't about this is it's the first time there's been a major confrontation between isis or isis loyalists in southern sear ia and the israeli military. a group pledged loyalty to isis intentionally targeted the israeli military. israel called it an air strike that struck the vehicle. israel says they confirm the hit and the four kills. most of the exchanges have been in the northern part and thab arer been between eitherer the syrian regime or rebels and it's

been stray fire into the israeli occupied. there it ends. this is different because the army says it was intentional they targeted israel. it now remains to be seen where this goes from here and if they're targeted again. it marks the first conon foration in southern syria and israel. israel has pulled farmers out of the area and increased surveillance. it's a sensitive area, has been for years. right at the meeting point of israel, syria, and jordan. cnn, jerusalem. now to england where the professional football association is having an independent counsel help investigate allegations of child sex abuse. a growing number of football players have come forward saying they were abused. more on that investigation.

>> reporter: it's the story that's been rocking english football to its very foundations. on sunday the nation's football association officially confirming it is investigating allegations of historic child sex abuse in the sport. the professional footballers association saying that more than 20 players have come forward alleging abuse. earlier this weekend, crew alexandria football club announcing its own independent investigation, this after claims made against one of its former youth team coaches. also on sunday the english fa revealing its instructed a an independent legal counsel. at this time with acknowledge that a wide ranging inquiry may be required, we are working close with police and must

presidential vote next year. england's football association is launching an internal review of allegations of child abuse from former players. an independent legal counsel will assist the investigation. the chief executive of the association says more than 20 football players have come forward with claims of being sexually abused while playing soccer as children. cubans remembering their former leader, fidel castro all week. 21-gun salutes will fire in havana and santiago on sunday and monday. the ashes will begin a ceremonial trip retracing the step that castro and his rebels took to seize power in 1959. leaders across latin america called fidel castro a revolutionary and some look to him as their mentor.

>> reporter: fidel castro was a charismatic and controversial figure. but perhaps here in this region more than anywhere else, he was a larger than life idle during the 1970s and 1980s when the military dictatorship seized control in south america. and some people even fled the violence and sought refuge in cuba. he went on to become a poppials leader and after they lost their main ally, socialist cuba survived and he reinvented himself as a mentor for a whole new generation of leftist leaders. to bolivia. he stood up to the regional super power the united states for some 50 years. railing against their policiepo ideologies and showing a region sick of being considered

america's backyard. that they could be independent, that they could set their own course. which is why today, not only the leftist governments but centerests presidents have come out and paid their respect to what he has done for this region. you heard from presidents in chile. the center right government in brazil calling castro a man of conviction and of course in nicaragua where they've decliered nine days of warning and president nicolas says now it's our aturn. we're going to keep the revolution alive. it does seem increasingly difficult as the countries in latin america continue to shift to the right and the one who really embodied that leftist ideology has now passed. shasta, thank you. now back to the united states,

the u.s. president elect, donald trump is back in new york after spending thanksgiving in florida. but the election results are still very much on his monday. on sunday he unleashed a barrage of tweets without offering a shred of evidence. again no evidence at all, he alleged serious voter fraud and why isn't the media reporting on this? >> hours earlier he declared himself winner of the popular vote with this tweet. in addition to winning the electoral college in a land slide, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. again offered no evidence to back that up. >> trump has been lashing out against a revote effort in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan calling it a scam. but former democratic candidate, bernie sanders supported the recount. >> the green party has the legal

right. republicans have requested i think the governor of north carolina is thinking of doing a recount. that's a legal right. i don't think hillary clinton who got 2 million more votes think it's going to transform the election but do people have a legal right to do it? yeah, we do. and meantime trump's inner circle is split over his consideration of mitt romney for secretary of state. romney bitterly criticized trump, even calling him a phoney and a fraud. one of trump's top advisors say his supporters feel betrayed. >> i know there are other candidates being considered apart from the ones being covered more commonly in the media. apart from that, governor romney in the last four years, i mean has he been around the globe doing something on behalf of the

united states that we're unaware? did he intervene in syria where they're having a massive humanitarian crisis? has he been helpful to mr mr. netanyahu. i'm party unity but not sure we have to pay for that with the secretary of state position. what donald trump decides, kellyanne conway and everyone else will respect it's just the back lash from the grass roots. i'm hearing from people who say my parents died penniless but i gave $216 to donald trump's campaign and i would feel betrayed. you have people saying i thought we got rid of this type. we don't even know if mitt romney voted for donald trump. and so i think there are concerns that those of us who are loyal have and you want a secretary of state loyal to the president and the president's vision of the world. >> it is interesting to see the

divides within the trump's inner circle. she is just making her opinion heard that many feel betrayed. politico.com says that vice president elect pence is pushing for romney. but others want rudy giuliani. >> we'll be waiting to see the outcome of that. parts of southern europe is struggling to recover from extreme flooding. and meteorologist to talk more about that. >> this isn't something that's happened for a couple of days and often times it's not just mother nature that causes these problems. it's human hands altering the land that played together. i say when you think of haiti and hurricane matthew, a lot of rainfall came from that storm. but people have altered the terrain and burning the trees

down and exser bait the problem. you look at some of the video out of southern -- northern italy, northwestern italy and the conditions really incredible when you think about the amount of water, the force of waurltte. when you take a three foot by three foot by three foot, a cubic yard and fill it with water. weighs over 1600 pounds. and of course you open it as much as a river like this, you're talking significant damage. several people still considered missing. something like this played out in the 1990s in the same area of italy and left behind $5 billion in losses. and i want to show you what's happening weatherer wi ee eer w this area. waterer level said literally locking people inside their properties. in recent years a lot of these

farming communities have been taken away and poor infrastructure has brought down buildings on the ourt areas of the foothills of the alp.s and touring one of those cities hard hit. right around southwestern italy. this is known as a it rex block. named after a meteorologist who discovered this pattern. you put this in proper alignment and prohib tit from moving. it continues to pump in moisture. we had historic rainfall. the areas in red were major flooding was being reported and large rivers and their tributaries, all that beginning to subside but it only takes a couple of days of unusual parnt coupled with human alteration of land and we see it all too

often. french conservatives have chosen francois fillon to lead their party in next year's presidential election. a look at how the former prime minister defied expectations and came out on top. ay may be over but the best cyber monday deals are at verizon. because a deal is only as good as the network it's on. verizon gives you the best network and a lot more. great deals on our hottest smartphones. like the droid turbo 2 by motorola for $10 per month. or the iphone se for $5 per month. our lowest price ever. the best cyber monday deals are at verizon. shop online all day. hurry, and get it all at vzw.com. let's just get a sandwich or something.

welcome back everyone. francois fillon will lead the conservative party in france's presidential election next year. the former prime minister was the frontrunner last week.

he had 66% of the vote. >> and his rival conceded and now pledges to back fillon. he plans to win voters from the left and right. >> just a month ago he was considered an unlikely bet but he defied all expectations. here with more from his headquarters in paris. >> reporter: it was here that francois fillon made his victory speech going back just 10 days it has been expected he would take on -- in the end, francois fillon came from behind with his right economic program and social conservatism to take the party's nomination. his supporters say he simply ran an effective grass roots campaign. we saw him spending three years

getting across france's speaking to the people. and what's certain is that given his fairly right wing platform, the republican party will look ahead to next year's presidential election. and francois fillon, if it he wins the nexet electoral hurdle will be taking on the french system itself. if polls are right, six months ahead of the election, he could face the leader of the final round next year. the top national front official says fillon's views are outdated. >> translator: he's blowing smoke in people's eyes in the same way the sar cozy camp did. national identity, immigration. if you do a bit of digging, look

at his performance, what he did immediately, his credibility weakens and i noticed one particular thing, francois fillon seems to have a problem with secularism. he obviously has a problem with secularism. we need a secularerism that is strict. >> he also says the national front partee recommends fillon as an opponent. >> for more on what this means for next year's election, thank you for being with us. we must start getting used to the surprises in politics. because here we had francois fillon beating alaungs peay. and what are we to make of the shift to the right? >> i think there was a perfect

stormer for francois fillon. nobody would have been able to say this three weeks ago. but number one, he had an excellent ground game and the media and polls didn't catch it because it was very much below the radar. for three years he's been canvassing france and his personali personality. we know 45% based on his personality and he is the antinicolas sarkozi. he's popular, but 20% popular. francois fillon is 75% popularer. he is the provingsal catholic conservative, seen as a safe pair of hands. and that's what they want after the bombastic style of nicolas s sarkozi. and to address the

second part of your question, the shift towards the right that the entire french political spectrum, it's very true. and i think that's partially down to the general context, it was true for brexit, the u.s. and in france. nicolas sarkozi changed the way politics and elections were run. it used to be you would say i'm left ring and i'm right wing and i'm going to get votes in the center. and he said i'm right wing and i'm going to get votes on the far right. it didn't work for him to be reelected though. >> you point this out but i remember during the debate, fillon described him as an insider, as you described him. the safe pair of hands. when it comes to the pairing,

possibly against a marie lepen, is this a possibility to see what we saw in the united states, in the united kingdom? is it the same dynamic where there could be voters that didn't participate before but may and actually support the fr right candidate? >> polls in france as they did in the u.s. have trouble measuring precisely an exactly the number and amount of people who want to vote for marie lepen. and there is that same dynamic with the polls they could be missing a part of the elect art. the major difference is france has already had its warning. in the early 2000s. and marie's father got to the second round and that was totally unexpected. people left and right voted 80% for the other guy. that's the blue print. >> if we've learned anything, we

learned we can't predict a thing. so we'll just have to see. >> big caveat. >> thanks so much, appreciate it. still ahead for shoppers it could be the best of both worlds. how some are trying to improve the online experience in china. e love today♪ ♪spread a little love my way ♪spread a little somethin to remember♪ philadelphia cream cheese, made with fresh milk and real cream. makes your recipes their holiday favorites. the holidays are made with philly. this beer gets straight it looks you in the eyes... ...and firmly shakes your hand. coors banquet. that's how it's done.
