>> i was going to take this out and get a mocha. is that cool? no? all right. sorry. sorry. new trouble for italy. the country's prime minister says he will resign after a lopsided defeat at the ballot box. >> also ahead, a rising death toll. investigators look for answers after a warehouse fire kills dozens of people in oakland, california. >> plus new questions about donald trump's foreign policy after the president elect launches a fresh twitter assault on china. hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> and you're watching cnn news room.

we have a busy hour ahead. first with that vote in italy. the prime minister losing a constitutional referendum in a landsli landslide. >> supporters of european populism see it as a big win, but the populist movement was shot down in austria, voters rejecting a far right candidate in their election. >> we are reporters covering these big political developments for us. we'll get to them in a moment. let's start now in italy. one woman helped to narrow the signs of italy's senate. instead it was a loss. about 60% of voters went against him. >> now the country faces an uncertain future, but the prime minister sent well wishes to those who opposed him. >> translator: the no vote won in a convincing manner. i send my congratulations to the

leaders of the no campaign. i hope they work well in the interest of our country, italy and italians. >> cnn money editor joins us live from milan. let's start with the economy. the banks are vulnerable. what do you think may be happening over the hours and days to come? >> reporter: well, outside the stock exchange which is where i'm joining you from, there's about an hour to go before trading gets underway. you mentioned the banks. some of them had board meetings today to try to assess the situation. the risk profile of the loans that they have on their books could change from here. they may have to pay more for debt to finance the loans they've extended to their clients across this country. so some really nervous times for a lot of the head at the financial institutions across

this country. and if you take a look at how the economy has fared across italy, the prime minister had, by the way, called this referendum on constitutional change to try to empower any party that got into power in it italy to try to solve the banking crisis. but he hasn't managed to pass that. it was a resound nothing from the italian people. the turnout was very high. higher than in some general elections that i've covered in this country. and as such, he has fallen on his sword much like in the way david cameron fell on his sword after calling the referendum on brexit in summer in the united kingd kingdom. again, it's a return to political instability across this region that has investors not just across europe but across the rest of the world worried. we saw markets fall in the overnight session in asia. when it comes to the gyyo euro t a 20b 20 month low.

the euro's finance ministers will discuss the events that happened in austria and italy over the weekend. >> tell us more about the political landscape and how that's affected and the leader of the anti-establishment five-star movement. >> reporter: yeah. a lot of people here in italy can't escape the irony a few hours before the results of this referendum, in austria it seems people rejected populism for it to bounce back in force across this country. and you mentioned the leader of the five star populist movement. he wants another referendum, not this time a constitutional change. he lobbied very hard and spent an awful lot of money to try to convince his supporters and the rest of the italian people to reject renzi's proposals.

he wants to take italy outside of the single currency area. and across this part of north eastern italy, we also have separatist movements like the northern league that also advocate similar things. they would like to see italy some of them would like to see italy kleved into two to separate rome from the north so it can spend and manage its own budgets. so from here we head into a period of probably political turmoil. a lot more populist voices from people like the prime minister. i should point out he has ruled himself out of ever becoming the next prime minister because he has a criminal record, and he's gone on the record and talked about that many times in the past. he's said that he wants to see fresh elections within a week. that is very unlikely to happen. most political analysts will say we're not likely to see snap elections because the next elections are set to take place

in 2018. we could see a caretaker government and that could mean more uncertainty for italy from here. >> cnn money europe reporting live from milan. thank you very much. as we mentioned yrks voters in austria rejected the wave of european populism electing alexander vanderbellen as their next president. our cnn international correspondent joins us with more on the results from vienna. austrian's apparently rejected populism. why did we see that happen, do you think? >> reporter: well, you know, the numbers have come in and state broadcast tv had an interesting breakdown in their exit polls. they showed that while a majority of voters said that the far right candidate was more relatable as a person, it was vanderbellen that they felt was

better representative of austria to the rest of the world. >> the first time far right candidate hor ford ran, this time it was a clear defeat that could not be contested. alexander vanderbellen backed by the green party beat him again by a decisive margin. exit polls showed 53% for vanderbellen. 47% for offer. you can see both candidates, hoffer and vanderbellen giving interviews and explaining why they believe voters chose the way they did. >> i think it is a historic day for austria. for several reasons. for the first time a presidential election had to be repeated. and it was not just a

repetition. in fact, it was a new election. because, you know, conditions changed. the world around us has changed. we have brexit vote in great britain in the united kingdom. we had the election of donald trump in the united states and so on. in six months many things happen. >> reporter: voters were worried and anxious, but not just about immigration which hoefer railed against but austria's place and fears that the trump bump would bring isolation of parties into power seems to have pushed things the other way. >> translator: my gut tells me to be worried. i'm scared. i fear my daughter won't have the same opportunities as i did. >> reporter: this man said i am worried about austria and hope it doesn't go the way of the u.s. and the uk that it will be

an eu for us all and continues to be that way and not destroyed by some people. immediately after the polls are 'signed offer insisted he was working to unify austria after a divisive and prolonged campaign season. >> i don't want a divided country. now it's me and mr. vander bellen to tell the people who supported us that it's important to see that we're one country. we are austria and have to work together. >> reporter: does this put an end to the populist national surge we've seen in europe? >> i always have to say the same thing. i'm not a populist. i'm a pretty normal guy, a level minded man. and i just want you to believe me. i'm really right but middle right. it's so important for me to show that i'm not an extreme man. >> reporter: the austrian

presidency is a ceremonial but symbolic roll. hoffer loss has dealt the populist surge a blow. and now a self-described child of refugees is being hails as a defender as an open liberal europe, but austria is just the first of a string of election challenges in the year ahead. >> reporter: it's interesting. in the polls in the run up to the election said it was too close to call that both candidates were neck and neck, but it was a decisive victory. women is what pushed the victory to vander bellen. more than 62% of the women here voted for him. >> all right. that live part from austria where it is 8:10 in the morning. thank you. at least 11 people are dead after a hotel fire in pakistan. it happened at a regent pla have a hotel. the blaze has now been

contained. a doctor at a nearby hospital says the victims were killed by suffocation. 75 people were injured. authorities are saying the fire swept through the hotel with little warning. a short time ago we spoke to cnn producer in islam bad. >> we know that the mayor was speaking to the press last night overnight, and he said they were absolutely no fire exit. none of the administration was there. there was no fire alarms alerting people within the hotel that there was an actual fire going on. so a lot of the dead, the people who died, almost all of them, all of them, actually, died of suffocation. the 75 injured have also suffered from breathing issues. and even though the fire has been contained, it's still unknown as to what the cause of the fire itself was. >> at least 33 people are now confirmed dead in oakland, california after a fire tore through a dance party at a warehouse.

these images show the building before fritd's blaze. it was known as the ghost ship. it housed artist studios. authorities say it did not have permits for people to live inside and the owners were notified of hazardous trash and debris. >> oakland's fire chief described the blaze as among the worse in the city's history. here's what the mayor says is being done to get remains and comfort loved ones. >> it is with so much grief and so much compassion that we as your city family share with you this horrific news. and as this tragedy continues to unfold, i want to, again, reassure you of what our priorities are as a city of oakland. our first priority is the humane and compassionate removal of the victims of this tragedy.

and i want to assure you that we are continuing to operate a 24 /7 recovery operation to effect that removal. secondly, we are focusing on supporting the families and the loved ones. some who are coming from very far away. >> the mayor of oakland speaking there. now cnn is on site with more on the tragedy. >> reporter: officials here saying it's too early to determine what caused this fire. but what they have said is as they've gone through the building they've broken it up into quadrants. they're saying they have found victims in all four of the quadrants of this building. there is no one place the victims were found. they're also saying that some of the people that lost their lives were juveniles, 17-year-olds, some young adults in their early 20s and some 30 plus. they're also saying they're in touch with embassies of people

from other countries that also lost their lives in the fire. at this point they reached out to some of the families but they're still working to identify some of the people who died here. that's because they're saying some people it's evident who they are if they had their i.d., they can match it with if i think ir prints. for others where there's nothing to identify them, they're having to get some source of dna. they're asking family members if you think you lost someone here, to preserve a toothbrush or to preserve a hair brush and put it into a paper bag, a clean paper bag and hold onto it so they can get to them. at this point, they're saying they would not be surprised if they actually do expect that the number of people who died here in this oakland fire will increase. >> coming up, chie nienese lead facing a new assault on their policies from donald trump on twitter. plus the u.s. army's new decision on whether a controversial pipeline can be

u.s. president-elect donald trump may be preparing to shake up u.s. china relations when he takes office in january. first he spoke directly to the taiwan leader ignoring nearly 40 years of sensitive u.s. diplomacy. now he's goingbeijing's trade and military processes. heavily tax our products going into their country. the u.s. doesn't tax them, or to build a massive military complex in the south china sea? i don't think so, end tweet. cnn alexander, the it's looking more and more like donald trump is ready to take his harsh stance on china to the white house. >> right, we heard tough talk

aimed toward beijing on the campaign trail. those words played well to his base, and now he's echoing those same sentiments on twitter going after beijing for alleged currency manipulation and bringing up china's interest in the south china seas. these are issues he addressed before, but he sends out the tweets on the heals of that phone call with taiwan's president which broken with 40 years of protocol. it sent waves of concern throughout the rest of the world and he follows up with tweets. what position does that leave officials in beijing in? that's something they have to work out. this is unprecedented territory. donald trump promised he would be unpredict able, and he's acting that way in terms of going on twitter to espouse his foreign policy views. this is not something that countries have had to deal with in the past. a u.s. president-elect seemingly sending out signals about his

potential foreign policy on twitter. is this just the sort of rhetoric that you're used to from donald trump or is it a sign of how he could change the relationship between china and the u.s. once he takes office in january? that's for everyone to see. state media opined before candidate trump was -- won the election and became president-elect, they said they predicted that he would bash china in the initial stages of his presidency, and that would be designed to sort of bolster his authority back at home, but they saw him as somebody who was more of an isolationist with a domestic agenda he would be concerned with. in an op ed in a state newspaper last night, they write china should understand trump has two faces. he's bluffing and unpredictable but will focus on u.s. internal affairs to make america great again. that was the take away after the

phone call with taiwan's leader. beijing did launch an official complaint with washington for the breach of protocol. beyond that there were messages in state news saying president-elect trump needs to respect this long-standing relationship between china and the u.s., the policies that governed the relationship and advised that officials in beijing should engage in constructive conversations with the president-elect. so far as of today, there has been no official response to the tweets that the president-elect sent out. however, the ministry of foreign affairs is holding a briefing right now. it's something they will be asked about and we'll be watching to see how seriously they take the tweets and what kind of response they could have at this point. >> alexander field, thank you very much. donald trump's tweets made some bold allegations. andrew stevens has been fact checking them. let's fact check what donald trump said about china.

is it a currency manipulator as his tweets suggest. >> well, broadly probably is a currency manipulator, but if you look at how it manipulates the currency in the last 18 months or so, it would be manipulating it in the u.s.'s favor, because it's actually trying to keep a lid on the plunging. china is in a different position than most foreign currencies. they peg their currency. they don't let the markets decide the value of the currency. they're trying to introduce more and more market moves for the currency. it could be more fairly valued. economists say broadly it probably is fairly valued, but there's no doubt it has been falling against the u.s. dollar. take a look at the numbers here. it shows you what's been happening. the juan is down. look at the eu and japan. the japanese yen is 9% down.

that's four times more than the yuan. nearly any analyst will tell you the yuan should fall more than it's actually falling. is it a currently in a nmanipul? probably. the key is this is something we've heard from donald trump time and again time, and it usually follows a threat to impose big sanctions on chie the needs exports to balance the playing field. if donald trump follows through on that, and 40% potential taxes on chinese goods going into the u.s. it doesn't see a trade war being sparked and losses on both sides. >> that's the worry. people are concerned about the possibility of a trade war here, but trump also saying that china's devaluation of the currency makes it hard for u.s. companies to compete, and he

said beijing heavily taxes u.s. products going into the country while the u.s. does not tax chinese products. all true or false? >> this is a little bit more opaque, this one. we've been looking at this, and trying to find out where china taxes u.s. goods and the u.s. doesn't apply the same taxes. there is a value added tax, a vat tax. that applies to everything that goes into china and everything made within china, they're subject to a 17% value added tax which includes u.s. goods. the u.s. doesn't have that. he could be talking about. he could be talking act tariffs. china imposes average 5% taxes on goods going into china, but the u.s. imposes average 3% tariffs on goods going into the u.s. so what he's specifically talking about here, it's unclear at this stage, but it's still

all circling back to the central point i was talking before. if this is president-elect trump preparing the way for president trump to act, it is going to be a very, very difficult relationship between the world's two biggest power houses, economic power houses, and a problematic relationship with those two may well lead to a problematic global economic picture, because they're so powerful now. if they spark it, it's trade war between the two, it's going to be a lot of collateral damage outside those economies. >> certainly has the international economy on edge as we watch what may happen going forward in january. andrew stevens bringing us that live report where it is nearly 3:30 in the afternoon in hong kong. in the u.s. construction is stopping on a controversial pipeline project in the state of north carolina. >> the line is finished except far segment that was originally planned to run under a lake that sits near tribal land.

the tribe and supporters have protested the project for months now. sara sidner reports. >> reporter: celebrations, tears of joy, chanting, and drumming. that's what was the initial reaction when the folks here found out that the army corps of engineers was going to ask the pipeline to be rerouted away from the thing that's caused the flash point here, rerouted and kept from going under the missouri river. it is a very big victory for the tribe and all the people who have been here for many months trying to stop this pipeline from potentially going under the water and one day leaking. however, what we have also heard from the tribe is that they are concerned that this may not be permanent depending on which administration is in place, and worried about donald trump's role in all of this when he takes the presidency.

>> today's decision from the army corps of engineers to not allow the pipeline company to drill under the river and violate our treaty rights and to put our children's health from cancerous waters is a short lived victory, when we need to dissect and analyze and make sure that president-elect trump the override this decision here today when he takes office. >> reporter: we're hearing that from other members of the tribe. even though this is truly a victory and people feel relief, there is also worry about what happens next. right now this camp is filling up. no one seems to be leaving. >> sara sidner reporting and the company building the pipeline said it's committed to seeing the project through to completion without rerouting. a man who says he went to a washington restaurant with an assault rifle to investigate a conspiracy theory is now under arrest. police took the 28-year-old into

custody on sunday. they say he went to a pizza restaurant at the center of fake news stories involving hillary clinton and a child sex ring. >> the theory sprang up last month online. the store's owners and employees said they have been receiving threats. still to come here on cnn, how the leader of france's far right party is using italy's referendum results to empower her supporters. >> plus rebels in aleppo are, we go inside the embattled city. that's all coming up. get unlimited everything, and we'll give you $800. that's right! $800 to spend anywhere you want. plus, all season long, get awesome deals on smartphones, tablets, and accessories. hurry in to t-mobile and get your holidays on us.

>> a warm welcome back to our viewers all around the world including in the united states. i'm rosemary church. >> let's update you on the top stories this hour. the italian prime minister said he will resign after crushing

defeat on a constitutional referendum. he sought to reduce the size and power of the senate, but nearly 60% of the italians voted against that. at least 11 people are dead after a hotel fire in karachi, pakistan. officials say the blaze at the regent hotel has been contained. 75 people are also injured. beijing appears to be taking a wait and see approach to president-elect donald trump. on sunday he slammed china for allegedly devaluing its currency and what he called a massive military complex in the middle of the south china sea. let's return to our story in italy and the leader of france's far right party said followers must take a cue from the referendum results. he tweeted the italians have rejected the eu and renzi. we must listen for the thirst for the freedom of nations and

for protection. >> i want to bring in a senior eu reporter at politico. he joins us life from brussels. give us the european perspective. there were two elections seen as the bellwether for the populist movements across the european continent. >> brussels let out a sigh of relief, but for the center of politics here that didn't last long. i think people are really trying to keep the italian result in perspective. they're making clear that the eu wasn't on the ballot. a lot of people think it's a self-inflected wound for renzi j but people can see this is part of -- that there are populist movements across europe. it puts italy up at the top of list of concerning elections that are likely to take place next year. i would say the overall mood is worried, but it's not hyper

ventilation. people aren't jumping up and down about the flexuation in the euro. >> looking at italy, is that where any of the trouble might arise? >> yes, you have to look at the polls around where the parties are standing right now and the five star movement, the populist movement, that's right up there now with the social democrats of renzi. they could do very well in a snap election. i think what you'll see is probably a caretaker government. and then the very strong likelihood of some kind of change in the electoral world to try to stop the five star movement winning any i-- elections next year. it can come bust badly next year, i would say. >> what are european leaders doing to address the rise of populist movements, those anti-establishment figures and

parties that are challenging european leadership and the legitimacy of the european political project? there's already been a huge wakeup call. it was brexit. angela merkel and the france president say we've got to change the way europe is working. so what's being done? >> well, it's a scattered response, i have to say, and then, of course, you can't forget the migration crisis which helped fuel brexit. the warning signals have been coming for well over a year. some people respond, and others say we have to loosen the eu, so they try to withdraw a few new regulations. others get in strong and say no, the way you fight populism is by sticking it to populists hard and making an integrated europe. then you the people who just have their head in the sand, and if you look now at a race that

probably doesn't get a lot of attention, certainly outside of europe, often not even outside of brussels, there's a race to replace the parliament president in brussels of the european parliament, and you can see the parties. they're putting up the same old style candidates. they are crushing the outsider. so it's not that that position matters all that much. but what it tells me, what it's telling oh people in brussels is the eu system is struggling to accept that feedback. it's thinking that mostly it can bunker down and see it through rather than really allow some breath of fresh air in from the outside. >> all right. ryan heath, senior eu reporter at politico speaking to us live from brussels. we appreciate your insights. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we push to new zealand where the prime minister says he will not run for a fourth term. in a prize resignation he says he owes it to his family to step aside and has given everything

he can to his job. >> i honestly don't think on a family basis and a lot of other reasons i could commit much beyond the next election. now is the right time to do it rather than -- i'm just, i've come too far to mislead the public. i'm not going to do that. >> mr. key has been in power for eight years and has led the ruling national party for ten. his resignation will be final on december 10th when the party picks a new leader. in syria, regime forces are gaining ground to retake area in aleppo. they bombarded aleppo over the weekend as troops pushed further into the area. >> syria's civil defense says air strikes killed at least 67

people on sunday. meanwhile the u.n. security council is set to vote on a resolution calling for a seven day truce in allepo. it's signalled it's ready to back the deal. at the same time syria's government is urging some civilians who fled should return. it says parts of the area are now safely under regime control. >> fred pleitgen spoke to some of the syrians urged to return. >> he has this look at the grim devastation they can expect in a war ravaged aleppo. >> reporter: driving through a destroy destroyed wasteland that until recently was a main battle ground. it was in rebel hands until last week when government forces moved in with crushing fire power. a 13-year-old shows me where a rocket landed next to his house and describes the fear he felt.

we were vefrightened he said. luckily that night we slept on the first floor. that's when two rockets hit right over here. his little brother is clearly traumatized by the whorrors he' witnessed. with almost no food and water available most of the part-time. as the rebels lost their grip, many residents fled trying to escape with their lives and not much more. now they're coming back, some haven't seen their houses for years. this man left in 2012 when the rebels took this district. now he's trying to salvage any belongings and what's left of his apartment. >> i am very sad. everything is either destroyed or ransacked, he says. we found these pictures under the rubble. the walls are destroyed but we will come back here and rebuild.

>> reporter: the battle for aleppo is far from over, but syrian government forces clearly have the upper hand. taking about half the rebel easter tory in the past week alone and continuing to push their offensive with massive fire power. like in so many districts that have been taken back by the syrian military, there is massive destruction in this part of eastern aleppo, but there's no denying the shift in momentum in favor of the syrian military and also the boost in morale that many of their soldiers have gotten. troops loyal to syrian president asaad tell us they believe they could capture all of aleppo, syria's most important battle ground very soon. the rebel head quarters was right here he says. so the loss of this district was a big blow to them. you can see how the shelling is pounding them. that shows their morale is collapsing. rebels left behind a makeshift cannon when they need here last

week. so far the opposition hasn't shored up their offenses in this syrian government offensive. fred pleitgen, cnn, aleppo. still ahead on cnn, donald trump responds to a comedy show marking his frequent use of twitter by complaining on twitter. plus heart break in brazil. dozens of families are saying good-bye to those killed in last week's plane crash. david. what's going on? oh hey! ♪ that's it? yeah. ♪ everybody two seconds! ♪ "dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance..." through the tuition assistance program, every day mcdonald's helps more people go to college. it's part of our commitment to being america's best first job. ♪
