1:01 am
from here and around the world. i'm george howell. the "cnn newsroom" starts right now. 4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. president trump spent time in california following the deadly wildfires that consumed so much of the state. during his time he toured communities that were burned to the ground. there was a moment he was asked about the impact of climate change but the president side stepped that question and again focused on poor forest management as a contributing factor. listen. >> does the devastation change your opinion at all on climate change, mr. president? >> no. no. i have a strong opinion. i want great climate and we're going to have that and we're going to have forests that are very safe. we're going to have safe forests and that's happening as we speak. >> in the meantime, the death toll continues to rise.
1:02 am
officials recovered five more bodies on saturday. the total number of dead statewide now stands at 79. the number of names on a missing person's list has also increased. it is now almost 1300 names. the list could contain duplicate names as well so the exact number of people who are unaccounted for at this point still very much unclear. joining me now to talk more about this is seday quint. your uncle is one of the people on the list of the missing. what more can you tell us at this point? >> i just say that we really haven't heard anything. we're reaching out to every organization that we can and we've given dna just in case we do get a call saying that he's not with us anymore, but we are being really, really patient with all the agencies. i'd just like to say that, you
1:03 am
know, the lists that have been coming out haven't been accurate because today and yesterday my uncle hasn't been on the list, which is really frustrating because we actually went down in person and talked to two different sheriffs, one in butte county or orville and another one in chico when we went to go give dna swabs and they said they were going to put him back on the list. this morning he's on the list, then he's not on the list. >> that's going to be so frustrating. for it to be your burden to go back and forth between officials and to make sure that your uncle's name is on the list. say his name if you would please. >> david william marbury. >> and just, you know, what is it like with respect for you and for your family, you know, to hold out hope but at the same time have so much uncertainty? again, you're just trying to make sure his name is on the
1:04 am
list? >> right. it's just really frustrating. it's just kind of surreal. i would have never thought that i would be looking for a family member so it kind of sucks, but we're being patient just because we know we're not the only family going through this right now. everyone is kind of in it together and everyone is being really supportive on every single side you can imagine so -- >> seday, what is it like as far as deciding what's next? certainly figuring out where all family members are, making sure everyone is accounted for but the next steps, moving forward. not knowing if a home is still there, burned down. >> so we already know that his house has been burned down and his car was in his garage so now we're just waiting for the sheriff's department to go out there and let us know if his body's in there or not. and, i mean, if it is, you know, he had respiratory issues and he
1:05 am
had back problems so -- and he was 66 so, i mean, it's hard to think about him, you know, not being here anymore, but as a family we have accepted, you know, the -- whether we get good or bad news. we're just prepared for both. >> just for our viewers around the world, please say his name again so we get it out there. >> david william marbury. >> in the paradise, california, area. that's where the camp fire is still burning. seday. >>, we certainly hope the best for you. there are so many families dealing with so much uncertainty at this point. thank you again for your time. >> thank you. and the issue of these wildfires, they're becoming much more common across parts of the
1:06 am
western united states and let's talk about how that relates to climate change. our meteorologist derek van dam is here. derek, some people try to avoid the data that's there but that doesn't make it not real. >> that's right. it's interesting how our own president side stepped the questions from reporters about climate change and how that relates to the increasing numbers of forest fires across the western u.s. but you could probably take a page out of california's own forest climate assessment report issued this past suggest. it's stating that the forests in california alone are becoming more vulnerable to climate change and by 2100, the end of the century, if greenhouse gas emissions continue as they are, the number of acreages will burn -- or the average number of acreage burn will increase by 77%. this is not a time to ignore the statistics. the statistics coming out from the state of california i would say have a lot of proof to
1:07 am
discuss and link together the forest fires and climate change. look at this imagery and you'll be able to see why this is so important because what we're noticing and linking these trends, increasing temperatures across the western u.s. and how that pertains to the increase in the number of forest fires. what's even more interesting is four times more wildfires, we're talking about large wildfires, counting 1,000 plus acres wildfires have increased four times in the past decade compared to the '70s. even more interesting it's 6.5 more acres have burned in the past decade than they did in the early 1970s and our burn season has actually increased by 75 days compared to that of the 1970s. usually by this time of year, mid november, we would see a fire season ending, a rainfall event. that hasn't happened yet. we want c o2 emissions to come
1:08 am
down if we're going to limit our warming to below 2 degrees. we have our fire forecast, at least pertaining to the fires burning over the western parts that shows that fire, the smoke plume just emanating across much of california and the western u.s. making it extremely hazardous to breathe the air. we know the air quality index is poor across the region, especially over northern parts of the united states. so poor it was so poor over some of the most polluted cities like beijing, mumbai. we know when forest fires burn we release carbon monoxide, nitrogen and that makes it more hazardous and difficult for people with respiratory problems to breathe the air. we know they are gaining impression sieve numbers on containing the fires. nevertheless, the rain is in the forecast for later next week. after thanksgiving that's when
1:09 am
the season ending rains will come in and bring us some much needed and well-deserved relief for the state of california. a little side note, 8.5 million acres of forestry has burned in 2018. >> the rain is good but the possibility of mudslides, right? >> too much rain too quickly and unfortunately the burned areas become susceptible to mudslides. >> we'll stay in touch with you. now to the murder of washington post columnist jamal khashoggi. the u.s. government is not drawing any conclusions as to who is responsible for his killing. this comes amid reports of the cia report saying the crown prince personally murdered him. the u.s. president says the finding is premature and he will get a complete report due out on tuesday. cnn live in turkey. jomana cokurachi is live in
1:10 am
turkey. the president is holdsing off on making any determinations but what is the reaction in turkey? >> reporter: you know, george, over the past couple of days, there's been no specific reaction from turkish officials either to the reports we've heard. u.s. officials saying that the cia's assessment is that the crown prince had ordered that or ordered the killing or the recent comments from president trump and the state department says this is not a final assessment. no final conclusions had been made. if you look at turkey's strategy from the start, george, they have not wanted to confront saudi arabia on their own. they've not wanted to go head to head with the kingdom on their own. they've tried to garner more and more support from the international community sharing evidence, especially the united
1:11 am
states, that they feel has a lot of leverage when it comes to the saudis. so they wanted the western allies and especially america to be at the forefront of this effort to hold saudi's accountable and to achieve justice in this case but at the same time, you know, and if you look at what president erdogan's been doing, george, this is a man who never really hesitates to speak his mind. at no point have we heard the president come out and point the finger at the crown prince or name him specifically. he has said that turkey believes the orders for this operation came from the highest levels of the saudi government and in that same opinion piece he wrote for the washington post saying that he went on to say that at no point does he believe that king salman had anything to do with this which many took this to mean that he was referencing the crown prince there without naming him.
1:12 am
the concern amongst turkish officials, george, is that there's some sort of stalling tactics being used here by some in the administration and also in saudi arabia hoping that the longer this goes on and keeping in mind it's been nearly 50 days since the killing of jamal khashoggi, that the world would move on and accept this version of the information that's coming out from saudi arabia. there's also some concern that some sort of a coverup is taking place. we've been hearing a lot of this from turkish officials here. that is why they've said that they don't think that saudi arabia is capable of a transparent or credible investigation, that is why they've been calling for the extradition of suspects here to turkey to face justice here. something the saudis have dismissed and said would never happen. so, i mean, we'll have to wait and see, you know, turkish officials are now saying that initially they didn't want an
1:13 am
international investigation but they feel that the time has come now for an independent international investigation, george. >> and with regards to the united states, it may be a mixed message depending on how the u.s. president views this report. also depending on how the house views this report. we'll have to, of course, see which message moves forward. jomana, thank you for the report. the prime minister of israel fighting to avoid a snap election. find out what's at stake for benjamin netanyahu. a live report from jerusalem ahead. plus, the mystery of the miss be submarine. why they are angry at authorities as cnn pushes on.
1:14 am
1:15 am
1:16 am
1:17 am
a. welcome back. in france, protests over rising fuel prices have turned deadly. officials say a driver panic and accidentally ran over a protestor near leone. more than 200 people have been wounded in demonstrations in that area. police arrested dozens of protestors. fuel prices have surged 16% this year sparking anger against the
1:18 am
french president emmanuel macron and his government, the price hike mainly due to higher oil costs. protests also sparked up in the capitol of greece. thousands of people marched in the streets this weekend. police clashed with some protesters who threw rocks and petro bombs at them. time could be running out for the government of israel and the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu's coalition is collapsing. his defense minister resigned and there are calls for an early election. a date for a snap vote could be decided soon. we're expecting to hear shortly from prime minister netanyahu. he's supposed to be with his finance minister in a last-ditch effort to save government. let's go live to the newsroom.
1:19 am
what is the likelihood of the prime minister saving the government? >> reporter: the chances seem slim but it's prime minister netanyahu and et cetehe's been biggest name in israeli politics. the finance minister is having a meeting later tonight and the education minister has demanded the defense portfolio after the defense minister resigned last week. there are a lot of pressures on the netanyahu government. other parties saw a moment of weakness here on the part of netanyahu and are now putting pressures on the netanyahu government. so just to recap the week, first last week wednesday was the resignation of the defense minister. demanded the defense portfolio. two more ministers ready to call for the portfolio. it seems like it's heading that direction. the next few hours are key. can netanyahu save his c
1:20 am
coalition. >> the other question, can benjamin netanyahu continue on as the prime minister? does he have enough support. >> they said netanyahu will still be the prime minister, the question is what coalition will he choose? another right wing coalition, does he move on? in recent months and more than the last year has shown netanyahu's party holding onto the seats and in some polls growing a few seats. that means just like it has been so often here, it's all up to netanyahu how he choose toz do it. is it possible, george, that there will be some sort of wild card that will shift the seats? a couple of new parties? perhaps an indicting against him which isn't looking that sure, but right now it looks like
1:21 am
netanyahu will win another election. >> another question, hamas. how much pressure is hamas putting on benjamin netanyahu? >> reporter: so for a right wing government to see what's happening is difficult to see. if this government collapses hamas will take pride in collapsing the government. it's hard to look at hamas celebrating a possible israeli collapse of government. that's difficult. what happens next if there is another escalation of violence between israel and gaza. what kind of pressures does that put on people? does that mean the responses will be harsher? hamas's open victory, crowing about the open results, but a tremendous amount of pressure on
1:22 am
netanyahu. >> oren lieberman live from jerusalem. thank you for reporting. the apex summit in papa new guinea has ended with no communication. the prime minister says the formal release will be made later. china and the united states trad traded barbs. china's president xi jinping stressed the need to uphold multi-lateral free trade. he said history shows there are no winners in cold wars, hot wars or trade wars. the vice president of the you u.s., mike pence, announced the development of a naval base on papa new guinea. the days of china taking advantage of the united states, those days are over. listen. >> china has an honored place in our vision in a free and open
1:23 am
endopacific. it embraces free, fair, reciprocal trade. the chinese people deserve nothing less. >> exactly one year and a day after advantage, a missing submarine has been found at the bottom of the atlantic ocean. the wreckage cannot be recovered and that leaves them angry. my colleague has this report. >> reporter: embracing loved ones, grieving relatives comfort each other while reliving a tragedy. after a year of waiting they're getting some answers in the disappearance of their family members, but not the ones they were hoping to hear. >> translator: we thought they had other information. we had the illusion they would find them alive. >> reporter: a u.s. search team has found the wreckage of an
1:24 am
argentine submarine t. had 44 crew members on board. it was found on the floor of the south atlantic more than 870 meters below the surface. the sub suffered an implosion and none of the crew members could have survived. now that the wreckage has finally been found, the argentine government says they can't afford to bring it home. >> translator: we did not even have means to go down to the depths of the sea. we also do not have equipment to extract a ship of these characteristics. >> reporter: for those who have been waiting to locate their loftd ones, this is simply unacceptable. >> translator: they have located it, now they need to deliver our relatives to us. >> translator: if we don't see it, we can't have closure. we're going to demand that the president find a way to get the remains out because it was possible. >> reporter: it was an american company hired by argentina that found the vessel.
1:25 am
several countries helped look for it. b they stopped only two weeks after the sub went missing. one of the reasons they have criticized their handling of the case. relatives faulted the navy for waiting several days after the disappearance to acknowledge a key detail. in his last communication the captain had reported a short circuit returning from a routine mission off of the argentine coast. the submarine's maintenance was also called into question. the diesel vessel was nearly 40 years old. on saturday families of the crew members demonstrated outside the naval base from where the submarine sailed last year demanding the return of their loved ones and more accountability in this tragedy. >> translator: up to now i kept hoping. it's hard for me to let it go.
1:26 am
now i can only keep fighting and ask the judge that she please work so that they return the submarine. still ahead here on the broadcast, the u.s. president travels to california to tour the damage there of the wildfires, but he dismisses climate change as a factor despite all the evidence that's out there. plus, one high profile election in the state of florida. it's finally over, but another still has no clear winner. we'll explain. stick with us.

1:30 am
live from atlanta. i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you. this hour u.s. president now says he will be getting a full report come tuesday on the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. this report comes amid reports the cia determined that saudi arabia's crown prince ordered the killing but the u.s. state department says no final conclusion has been drawn. a source says israel could pick a date for an early election in the coming hours. the nation's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's meeting with his finance minister in an effort to save government. a cease fire with gaza militants led to the defense minister resigning. that was followed by calls for a snap vote. in the u.s. state of california officials recovered five more bodies after the deadly wildfires there. the death toll now stands at 79 people who were jield in the meantime, the list of missing persons has also grown now just almost 1300 names.
1:31 am
u.s. president flew to california on saturday. he was on the ground to see damage firsthand. he met with authorities, local residents, also met with the state's governor and governor-elect. he described the situation as sad but pledged to work with the state. listen. >> it's devastating to see it. i have to say the government officials have done an incredible job. when you look at this devastation and i guess in this area there are three deaths. pretty incredible. horrible but also pretty incredible. >> mr. trump ducked the question on climate change but implied again that poor forest management was partly to blame. while in california president trump met privately with some of the families affected, impacted by another terrible tragedy there. the mass shooting of 12 people at the borderline bar in thousand oaks. >> this has been a did you have
1:32 am
day when you look at all of the death from one place to the next and then we leave from here. that was a tragic event that took place. it is a very tough situation. we're working on lots of different things. been going on for a long time. been going on, i guess, in many respects forfar longer than people want to talk about, but it's a very sad thing to see. >> let's talk about the president's trip to california with steven erlinger. he's live in hour from skype in brussels, belgium. always a pleasure to have you. let's talk about the president's time in that state. we just saw him spending time in thousand oaks, of course very important to do that. also toured the destruction around paradise firsthand. this, of course, nearly a week for forest 3457ksment is partly
1:33 am
to blame. what's your view of how all of that went with president trump? >> presidents are supposed to do these things. presidents are supposed to arrive, bring help, supper to people who are in distress. the california fires are horrible. there are a lot of people missing and dead as we've reported. some people think maybe he should have come sooner, but it is good that the president comes and i think president trump quite sincerely meant to bring the nation's sorrow and promises of aid. that's important. his views on climate change are another matter. he's held these things for a long time. he thinks it's all a hoax. he didn't probably want to say that aloud yesterday, but he's -- he's long believed that. and his notion of forest
1:34 am
management, i don't know why he thinks he's an expert on forest management. even though as we know most of the forests in florida are controlled by the federal government and the fires didn't start in the forest but in shrub lands as far as we know. anyway, the president has his views and he's not shy about expressing them. >> one of those views on raking, simply raking the forest ground, steven, but also mr. trump also touching on climate change. let's listen to his response and we can talk about it on the other side. >> does the devastation change your opinion at all on climate change, mr. president? >> no. no. i have a strong opinion. i want great climate, we're going to have that and we're going to have forests that are very safe. we can't go through this every year, we go through this. we're going to have safe forests and that's happening as we
1:35 am
speak. >> so no on climate change. great climate. >> what does he mean by that, great climate? trump will bring it to us, that's for sure. >> of course that is something that many in california, you know, do believe in climate change so they were expecting the president to speak on it, that's why the question was posed. i want to speak about president trump while he was there about the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi. the cio report indicating with high confidence the saudi crown prince ordered the killing of the journalist though mr. trump not drawing any conclusions at this point. let's listen. >> it's a horrible thing that took place, the killing of a journalist. very, very bad situation. khashoggi. and somebody who's respected, it should never have happened. they haven't assessed anything yet. it's too early.
1:36 am
that was a very premature report, but that's possible we're going to see. we're going to have a report on tuesday. it will be very complete. in the meantime we're doing some things to people that we know for a fact were involved and we're being very tough on a lot of people. >> stephen, so by calling this report premature, does that buy president trump a little more time that after the report is outcome tuesday, does he have much leeway here with his intelligence agency? >> well, i think he's not going to blame muhammad bin salman for the killing. the cia may believe that the crown prince ordered it. they don't have his voice orderinganalysis, so the president can choose to make a different analysis. it's quite clear there are a lot of people around the prince who were involved, that's what the president was talking about, but
1:37 am
one of his top national security council officials who was handling saudi arabia and had just gone there to push for sanctions for some of those around the prince resigned on friday giving you the sense that there's some controversy inside the white house about how high to go in blaming khashoggi's death on the saudi crown prince. after all, this administration has put a lot of bets on the saudi crown principles, including jared kushner, the president's son-in-law, and the president himself. the crown prince doesn't at this point seem to be being moved aside by his father, though his powers seem to be tightened a little bit. so we'll see. i mean, the president does have foreign policy interests at stake. those are real. saudi arabia is an ally and i think he's going to be very, very, very reluctant to point
1:38 am
the finger directly at crown prince muhammad bin sal mad. and one lost question given that we're past the mid terms. compare if you would premid terms president trump to post mid terms president trump. we've heard him talk about the possibility of a government shutdown, that it would be a good time for that, he says. we've heard him push for more funding for the border wall. essentially draw the line in the sand. >> i have to say he was a lot grumpier after the mid terms than he was before. he had a couple of days of really bad moves, one of which gets in and he has other eu european leaders who didn't want to go to an american cemetery.
1:39 am
he was in a bad mood which means the democrats did better than he would have liked, but as i've said, president trump, you know, lives on drama and he lives on partisanship and he's going to press ahead. before 2020 he's going to make sure there are very clear lines between the parties. i don't see him reaching for consensus particularly with this democratic party. perhaps for infrastructure or something like that. i think he wants to draw sharp divisions between his plans and the democrats', and that's something he's going to continue to do, i think. >> stephen live for us in brussels, belgium. thank you. >> thanks, george. one more statewide race has been settled. 11 days after the historic vote followed by a challenging recount, democrat andrew gillum
1:40 am
seen on the left conceded saturday the florida governor's race to republican ron desantis. still undecided the florida contest for u.s. senate. here's cnn's dan mariner. >> tallahassee mayor andrew gillum conceded to republican ron desantis late saturday evening ending what was a bid to become the first african-american governor of the state of florida. that leaves all eyes on senator bill nelson, who has yet to concede to governor rick scott and his hotly contested race for a fourth term in the u.s. take a listen to what he said in regards to his republican opponent. >> we said that we will fight until the last vote is counted. obviously we are now closing out the hand recount race in two of
1:41 am
the statewide races. we wanted to make sure every single vote, including those that were over vote, under votes, as long as it was a legally cast vote and we wanted them to be counted. now that we are rounding that process out, r.j. and i wanted to take a moment to congratulate mr. desantis on becoming the next governor of the great state of florida. >> gillum's concession makes desantis the governor-elect of florida. bill nelson will have to come to grips that he is the only top flight democrat and he's separated by 12,000 votes in his race against rick scott, the governor of florida. here in tallahassee a federal judge has ruled against democratic interests multiple times when they were trying to expand the universe of available votes for senator nelson.
1:42 am
at vote counting sights across the state, the machine recount done on thursday, did not do nearly enough for that. he's now as far ased to come to terms. >> dan, thank you. a family is grieving and a chicago community is demanding answers after a security guard is being called a hero. fatally shot by police while doing his job. stand by, we'll have this for you.
1:43 am
1:44 am
1:45 am
story that's getting a lot of attention out of chicago, illinois, a family of an african-american security guard shot to death by a police officer says he was working extra shifts to buy gifts for his young son.
1:46 am
jamel robber son was killed after he pinned down a gunman who opened fire at a bar where he was working. the growing number of people want answers from police about what happened to him. ryan young has this report. >> the problem with jamel is, he was black and this mystery officer needs to be fired. >> reporter: demands for more transparency and action in the case of an on duty security guard shot and killed by a police officer around 4:00 a.m. last sunday. he was working at manny's blue room in suburban chicago. robberson was able to subdue the shooter. >> he's a national shooter because he saved lives on that night. >> reporter: while police from several departments responded, an officer saw him who was black holding down the shooter. the officer opened fire killing
1:47 am
him. there were conflicting reports about whether he was wearing identifying security markings. his family and friends paint a different picture claiming that before robberson was shot people yelled warnings at police that he was a security guard. >> the suspect was being apprehended right here. everything is under control. after everybody told you that including the 70 people that was out here you intentionally fired one time. after you fired that one time you shot my little brother four more times. >> reporter: family and friends say robberson had dreams of being a cop and was preparing to take a police exam in the spring. he played the organ for several churches and was working part time at the bar in order to support his 9-month-old son. >> my baby's not going to have his father for christmas, his birthday, any holidays anymore. >> the mid lothian police department would not speak on
1:48 am
camera instead offering written statements which read the mid loathe january police department is completely saddened by this tragic incident and we give our heart felt condolences to jamel and his family. the department says the still unnamed seven year officer who shot him has been put on paid administrative leave. illinois police are investigating the shooting and have released a statement which in part reads according to the statements they gave the armed subject multiple verbal commands to drop the gun and get on the ground before they fired the weapon and struck the subject. on friday they gathered to demand the officer be fired. >> jamel saved lives that night only to lose his life senselessly so we want answers. we want results, and we want them now. >> reporter: brian young, cnn, chicago.

even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what's next? seeing these guys. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you.

the u.s. president says that isis has been defeated, but extremists and their ideology are still a threat. they're still entrenched in eastern syria blocked in combat with u.s. forces.
1:53 am
nick peyton walsh has a look at this. >> reporter: isis, more than just ghosts out here in the dust of eastern syria. the last symbolic territory are in the distance hunted under the cover of darkness by the syrian kurdish fighters, pummelled by coalition air power, and pushed back towards the iraqi border. dark means chaos here, but above it's a lethal advantage for american technology. at work, an apache attack helicopter finding its target. these are rare pictures of the daring nighttime operations that
1:54 am
have taken back land from isis. it is startling to see how rudimentary the tools are in a fight so essential, triage by phone line, saline solutions and dressings. how young they are. this one deafened by the bomb. the ones in the need of urgent surgery begin the long recovery. the night sky still sounds of further deaths. lurking below in these remaining village could be the leader defended by dye hard loyalists and loyalists and car bombs. the street to street battle as ferocious as before but a world believes president donald trump when he says isis is being
1:55 am
