>> aggressive conduct ultimately leads to war. >> she said, i'd rather die with you than live without you. a dire warning, how you a new u.s. government report contradicts president trump's news on climate change. and what you need to know about it. the russia investigation, is another controversial figure possibly ready to flip and help robert mueller investigate the trump campaign? who he is and what he could know about the rusrussians. and black friday, it is all about the deals, but you'll hear from one girl who used this shopping day to try to recover after losing everything in the california wildfires. all these stories ahead here on cnn. i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom," live from atlanta. thanks for joining us.

our top story, a u.s. government report is full of bleak new warnings about climate change and if drastic changes aren't made, it could cost thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars before the end of the century. derek van dam checked it out. >> this is written by over 300 scientists and it will only contribute to the yoioverwhelmi ready that is happening. >> reporter: the report released by the white house directly contradicts the president's own words. >> does it change your opinion on climate change? >> no. i have a strong opinion. we're going to have forests that are very safe. >> reporter: the governor of fire ravaged california however agrees more needs to be done.

>> everywhere we can, it does not stop climate change. and those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies. >> reporter: according to the report, rising sea levels and surges threaten $1 trillion worth of real estate, farmers will lose crops to droughts in some places and flooding to others. experts are also expecting worse allergies and an increase in foodborne diseases. while the report makes no specific recommendations on how to fix the problems, it does make clear the cause. let's talk more about it now. derek is joining me. it is hard to bear down on this report because it was massive. >> a thousand pages at least. but now that we sink our teeth into it, we are finding out that this is one of the most meticulous, authoritative and comprehensive outline of how

climate change is threatening our health, our well-being, the quality of our food production going forward, the availability of fresh water and even our economic growth going forward. we'll talk about all the details in the allotted time that we have. but the big bold headlines right at the top of the report rngs t, the earth's climate is changing faster than any point in history primarily as a result of human activity which of course is the burning of fossil fuel. is so this report broken down regionally talked about the extreme events tied to temperature warming, wildfires, degradation of air quality, even the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses thanks to a changing climate. talkingabout afarm losses, in

the midwest, a staple diet, the region could lose more than 25% of soybean yields what we would normally produce at this moment in time. and let's talk about wildfires and what it says about the western u.s. wildfires could burn up to iks is times more forest area by 2050 than they do today already. we know this year we've burned over 8 million square acres were across the western u.s. and that will double by 12015. we've already seen temperatures rising over 1.5 degrees fahrenheit. and even if emissions drop to zero, we'll have another half a glee warmi degree warming at the least. >> all we have to do is make the choice away from burning fossil fuels to help the situation which is something that this country hasn't done to scale.

what is the single biggest takeaway? >> this is harder and harder to be a skeptic these days. the mounting evidence that continues to pile up, the thing that it did say in this report is that the future of these impacts are still within our own hands. we have the ability to change the outcome, but we have to have grass root efforts starting at home. you and i could drive electric vehicles for instance, we could put solar panels on our roofs as well. and people will start to notice the economic impacts of that and make choices themselves. so it starts at home and it grows from there. we have the cascasincadining ef across the country. one of the lead authors of the report is joining us now, she is also an atmosphere rick scientist and director of the climate insiscience center at t tech. thank you for joining us.

this report issued by the u.s. congress follows a 2014 congressional order report on climate change and that report made predictions. and it seems some of those came true as indicated in this report just released. can you speak to that first? >> as climate scientists, we look both at what has happened in the past and what we expect to see happening in the future. but today the future is happening almost overnight. changes that we expected to see he a decade or two from now, we are starting to see already right the in our own backyards. >> and this talks about how it is encompassing the entire country. it doesn't just address sea level rise that will affect the coasts, it encompasses the midwest, the northeast. you c can you speak to that? >> the reason why we care about a changing climate is because it takes the risks we already face naturally in the places that we

live and it amplifies them. so if we do live in florida or along the gulf coast, then we care a lot about coastal flooding which of course is getting worse due to sea levriss well as hurricanes. and if we live in the western u.s., we care about wildfires. and wildfires are a natural part of life, but as it has been getting hotter and drier, they are burning greater and xwragre area. twice as much area is being burned. in the midwest and northeast, we are seeing major increases in heavy precipitation which has all kinds of impacts on our infrastructure, onagricultural. wherever we will, we are affected by the changing climate. >> and it says that the cost of coming nothing will be an

enormous blow to the u.s. economy. how so? >> hundreds of billions of dollars a year before the end of the century if we continue on our current pathway. an amount equivalent to the gdp of multiple states. but when we look around the world, we see other countries that will see even more devastating impacts. a key aspect of climate change is that it disproportionately affects those who are already vulnerable today, it exacerbates poverty and hunger. and if we continue on the current pathway, many of the poorest countries could see drops in their entire national gdp of 20%, 25% or more. compare that to the cost of meeting the paris agreement is just a small fraction of global gdp. it really is worth to take action now. as our grandparents told us, a stitch in time saves nine. >> and president trump will not acknowledge climate change.

he has rolled back environmental protections. but according to experts, we could lessen the impact and even improve the economy. so how you in the world do we address this if president trump is not on board? >> i think it is really important to talk about the economic impacts, but also the economic benefits. this report doesn't talk so much about those, but we know just from looking around the world that china and india are investing huge amounts. china is investing hundreds of buildings of dollars in clean energy. >> china is putting more electric cars on the streets now, a huge going to do that by 2020. >> exactly. even here in texas, we have over 25,000 jobs in the wind energy industry. across the u.s., there are more jobs in solar power than there is from power generated from all fossil fuels put together. we are living in changing times.

and we have two choices. we can keep on investing in horses and buggies when henry ford is already producing the model t ford essentially. or we can say no, there is a different way to get around today, today there is a different way to get our energy and we really can move into the future together. >> and can cities and states and businesses innovate and prepare even if the u.s. president isn't on board? >> they already are. and in fact this report does layout some ways that many people, cities, states, regions are already preparing to build resilience to a changing climate, but the report also concludes that it isn't enough kret. that we are still in the movement, almost 40% of emissions in terms of the cities, states, tribal nations, even seminaries who are involved. but again as the report lays out, we are moving in the right direction, we just need more in order to a void the serious and

really dangerous impacts of climate change that are still coming down the line. >> is so can we get there without the administration giving dollars to innovation in this area? >> we are already moving in the right direction, but we really do need everybody on board. when cities and states and regions and businesses, businesses like walmart and apple that are going all in on clean energy, when they are moving in one direction and the federal administration is move management opposite direction, it is like a tug of war. we need to be moving in the same direction together. >> again, lead author of the u.s. climate change report that just was released by the white house. other news we're following, the daughters of jamal khashoggi are speaking out about their father. the "washington post" contributor was murdered after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last month. in an essay, his daughters say that he always thought of saudi arabia as his home. they wrote in part, he also told

us about the day he left saudi arabia standing outside his doorstep, wondering if he would ever return. for a while dad had created a new life for himself in the united states. he grieved for the home he had left. throughout all his trials and travels, he never abandoned hope for his country because in truth dad was no dissident. if being a writer was engrained in his identity, being a saudi was part of that same grain. u.s. initials tell cnn that the cia has high confidence at saudi crown prince personally ordered khashoggi's killing. saudi officials deny that. meantime the u.s. house plans to look into the khashoggi murder. democrats who are about to take control of the house of representatives say they're going to investigate u.s. intelligence assessments and president trump's reaction to khashoggi's murder. for more about that, here is

jeff zeleny. >> reporter: the white house could be contending with another investigation. this time over president trump's cozy relationship with saudi arabia. >> i will say very strongly that it is a very important ally. and if we go by a certain standard, we won't be able to have allies with almost any country. >> reporter: after the president contradicted the cia's assessment that the crown prince mohammad bin salman ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi -- >> they did not come to a conclusion. they have feelings certain ways, but they don't have -- you can ask mike, they have not concluded. nobody has concluded. i don't know if anybody is going to be able to include that the crown prince did it. >> reporter: congressmaned a shiv a -- adam schiff is telling the "washington post" we will want to examine what the intelligence committee knows. >> i hate the crime.

i hate what was done. i hate the coverup. and i will tell you this, the crown prince hates it more than i do. >> reporter: schiff said democrats after taking control of congress in january will explore any potential financial conflicts of interest between trump and the saudi kingdom. at the white house this week, the president denying any such ties. >> i don't make deals with saudi arabia. i don't have money from saudi arabia. i have nothing to do with saudi arabia. i couldn't care less. >> reporter: as the president spends the thanksgiving holiday at his resort in florida, he is fixated on immigration tweeting today republicans and democrats must come together, finally with a major border security package which will include funding for the wall. the president even threatening to close the border with mexico. >> if we find that it gets to a level where we are going to lose control or our people are going to start getting hurt, we will close entry into the country until we can get it under control. the whole border.

>> reporter: immigration was ol only one of several issues the president touched on during a call with troops, and at times it turned bizarre. >> large numbers of people are forming at our border and i don't even have to ask you, you want to make sure that you know who we're letting in and we're not letting in anybody essentially because we want to be very, very careful. so you're right, you're doing it over there, we're doing it over here. >> reporter: he overstated the urgency of the caravan of migrants heading to the u.s. >> we are have fencing and walls, we've been able to do it rather quickly. wire and so many things are there now that they didn't have. >> reporter: and that is strung by soldiers illustrating the president effexorati's fixation

border. >> the 9ninth circuit is a thor in our side. >> reporter: and the president was asked what he is thankful for. his answer? himself. >> i made a tremendous difference in the country. this country is so much stronger now than it was when i took office and you wouldn't believe it. >> jeff zeleny reporting. any plea deal may be in the works involving this man, jerome cor corsi, an associates of roger stone. he says that he is in plea negotiations with robert mueller and expects to be indicted for lying. for more, here is alex. >> reporter: the fact that he is working on a plea deal is a possible sign that robert mueller and his team think core city has something quite significant to share. it is a big development that could give the russia probe a crucial missing link in the

investigation into collusion with russia, specifically linking wikileaks and hacked democratic e-mails that they dumped to the trump campaign. xor ci core city hs city -- corsi says expected to be indicted by mueller for lying. >> the entire negotiation of discussions has just blown up and i fully anticipate that the next few days i would be indicted by mueller for some form or other of giving false information to the special counsel or to one of the other grand jury or whomever they want to do the indictment. but i'm going to be criminally charged. >> reporter: many people may not have erd will of c och-- heard cosc ocho

corsi rngts but they interested in him because of his relationship with roger stone corsi says he came up with the prediction that podesta's e-mails would be hacked and he shared that theory with roger stone who then tweeted something to that effect and that prediction turned out to be tree. corsi denies he has any sources inside wikileaks. roger stone has also responded to news of this plea deal on the radio and denied that corsi told him that the podesta e-mails would be stolen and published. >> i'm unaer with eware of any bargaining. i have no idea what this is about other than to say that the assertion that jerry corsi knew in advance that john poe decembpoe -- podesta's e-mails would be published is news to me. this idea that jerry corsi could implicate me, there is simply no

evidence whatsoever. >> reporter: stone also said in that interview that corsi is under a tremendous amount pressure and is being asked over and over by the special counsel's office to say things he does not believe occurred. alex mar court, cnn, washington. britain's prime minister hides to brussels to put the final touches on the brooeks agreeme brexit agreement. why the landmark deal could unravel over gibraltar.

theresa may arrives in brussels in the coming hours to attend an eu summit to approve the brexit deal. but now there is a question on whether the meeting will even go ahead. spain's prime minister has snubbed the draft agreement saying it doesn't recognize madrid's role in future negotiations over gibraltar. he says if that dispute is not resolved, there will be no sunday summit. let's talk more about this with european affairs commentator dominic thomas. thank you for joining us.

we are with one day away from the critical summit on the brexit deal where we will learn if all 27 leaders will sign off on it, but enter a new problem, spain, and the last minute controversy. what is that about? >> and if this is any indication of where things would should the brexit deal actually go through in march of 2019, we can see that it is going to be a very long transition period if individual countries start to air their particular grieve aunts grieve -- grievances. and the spanish prime minister is upset because the political declaration and the document, the agreement that they have signed, that they are working on, does not specifically mention that in future negotiations between the uk and the european union over gibraltar that spain would be at the table and the spanish prime minister is insisting on that for a number of reasons. as things currently stand, many

people living in the border region with gibraltar enter into what is of course the european union. should the uk leave the eu, then of course the border situation will be different and theresa may has been quite explicit in saying that eu citizens that previously were able to enter are going to have to demonstrate the litmus test to see whether or not that they can come in. and given that there are regional elections coming up, the spanish prime minister is all the more eager to address these domestic issues and show that he is being tough on this particular issue. >> so he says he will not even show up at the summit unless this issue is resolved. would spain really want that on its shoulders? >> well, i mean it is quite extraordinary because of course going back all the way to 1986 when spain joined the european union, one of the particular clauses it would have to sign off on is to agree to the

sovereignty of gibraltar. so it really is a kind of no go situation. i think that in this particular instance, it points to the broader issue which is that individual countries are going to be airing their particular grievances. but i think it is really a domestic political issue here where he wants to show the spanish people that he is going to be tough as we go into this. but there is a real opportunity here that he will derail this opportunity for the eu to show that it is a united group of 27 that is about to enter into some very serious negotiations with the united kingdom and that would be a problem. >> and theresa may, the prime minister, mhad something to say about that, let's listen to her latest comments. >> i think that if this deal doesn't go through what happens is we end up back at square one. i think as sarah just said, what we end up with is more uncertainty and more division frankly. and so i believe that if we were to go back to the european union and say, well, people didn't

like that deal, can we have another one, we won't get -- i don't think that they will come to us and say we'll give you a better deal. >> so dominic, spain aside if a moment, does she have the backing from eu leaders? >> i think so the position is and it fits in nicely with our discussion around spain is that the eu's position at this stage, and they will be trying to enlist the spanish prime minister in this, the best thing that they can do is let theresa may take this deal back to the united king democradokingdom. the likelihood of getting it through the parliament is not very good. there is extraordinary divisiveness over this issue across party lines. so the european union i think would like to get this off its desk, focus on more important issues it has within the eu region, particularly upcoming elections in may next year, and let theresa may see what she can do across in the united kingdok.

until parliament has a meaningful vote on this issue, there really is no point discussing this any further. >> our thanks to dominic. as the details of brexit become clear, some in britain are having buyer's remorse over the 2016 referendum, but prime minister theresa may says there is no going back and there will be no second referendum. some anti-brexiteers are making a humorous statement on the troubles they see coming. a convenience store in south london, they call it an inconvenience store, is decked out with items like brexit beef and i can't believe the price of this butter. the shelves in the pharmacy were bare highlighting the fear that some medicine may be in short supply after brexit. a new climate report published by the u.s. government tells a desperate story. global warming is going to get

responsibility. matthew hedges was convicted of espionage earlier this week and he denies the charges. the uae and britain say they are determined to reach a solution. in the u.s., a ferry crashed into a dock in san francisco friday. two people suffered minor injuries. both the ferry and the dock were damaged. authorities are investigating why it happened. back to our top story this hour, dire new warnings with the effects of climate change on human health and the health of the american economy. a u.s. government report suggests drastic action is needed to cut fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions to save thousands of lives. but the report conflicts with president trump's skepticism about the changing climate. for more, here is are a that i

m -- rene marsh. >> if you weren't paying attention, this report could change that. it is frightening and it screams serious action has to be taken now. it is the work of the federal agencies and scientific community and the report makes it clear that we are already experiencing the dangerous effects of climate change. it states that wildfire season is long now but will only get longer burning six times more forest area per year by the year 2050. more people will be exposed toic its that carry lyme disease and mosquitos that transmit viruses. allergy season will be a lot worse. higher temperatures will also kill more people. it specifically looks at the midwest, predicted to have the largest increase in extreme temperature. and according to the report, it will see an additional 2,000 premature deaths per year by the year 2090. and the cost, that will be a big

one as well. the cost of climate change according to the report could reach hundreds of billions of dollars annually. and by mid century, it says it is very likely that the arctic will be nearly free of sea ice in late summer. we should point out this was a congressionally mandated report, it was released by the trump administration the day after the thanksgiving holiday when people are distracted and families are shopping and the release team really sparking controversy and speculation that it is being buried on a day when few people will be paying attention. the report also came one day after the president tweeted and i'm quoting brutal and extended cold blast could shatter all records. whatever happened to global warming? that tweet illustrates trump's continuous skepticism and directly contradicts the findings in this government report. and it lgsz i wiit also illustr

president's lack of understanding on the issue. and as we know, climate change has a consistent rise in its year after year, not extreme weather over a one day period. rene marsh, cnn, washington. political analyst joining us for more, he is author of how trump governs. michael, good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> let's discuss this government report just issued friday about dire warnings of climate change and a president, mr. trump, who won't even acknowledge climate change. what do you think about it? it is bizarre. >> well, it is congressionally mandated that this report come out and the president released it at a time when it came all be buried under the avalanche of holiday travels. it is something that his administration put out, it contains overwhelming evidence and the president rejects those

facts. the president doesn't believe there is climate change, so he rejects it living in what he calls his -- what is called his world of alternative facts. and i think it would be an illusion to believe that the president would change his mind based on this report. he lives in his own reality, a reality in which he independefi comfort, a world where russians have not interfered with american elections, a world where mbs and the saudis did not order the murder and dsz membermemembe -- dismemberment of a journalist, a world where climate change is a chinese hoax. it is donald trump's world and it is a world that isn't always strongly connected to the reality that most people see on the ground. >> but this is a congressional report released by the white house. will anyone from congress speak up against this president not looking at this issue and taking some action? >> well, in about a month the democrats will take control of the house, they will use this as

ammunition. they believe obviously that it is an issue that not only is important globally, but it is important politically for them as well. and so they will use the report to beat the president over the head a few times. >> you say you don't think he will change even after this report. i want to look at another issue now that is emerging with this president, his fight with the judicial system, particularly the ninth circuit when it does not rule in his favor. the chief justice of the u.s. spoke about that, and we'll get to that, but now the president is asking the supreme court to expedite cases, to go around lower courts. on friday for example he included a case regarding his attempt to block transgenders from serving in the military. what do you make of what he is doing with the courts or trying to? >> well, i think it is instructive that the military is also opposed to the president's position. they think that it is important that for morale that transgenders remain in the military, that they have served

honorably. and so the president i think believes that he is playing a losing hand. district courts and appeals courts may turn against him. i think he feels that the one place where he has a fighting chance is in the supreme court where he has appointed two members, where there is a solid conservative majority. and so i think the president is basically because he is playing a losing hand is a little desperate and trying to go around the normal procedures. he is doing this to feed the passion of his base. >> chief justice of the u.s. john roberts publicly rebuked the president this week saying we don't have obama justices or bush justices or trump ajustice. and the president hit back. he says the ninth circuit is a total disaster, has a horrible reputation. it has overturned more than any circuit in the country and he went on and on. first of all, why do you think john roberts took the unusual step to go public on this and

say something about president trump's stance? >> well, it is whighly unusual because justices tend not to get into the political fray. but i think presidents think that the justices they appoint are my justices. that they value loyalty over independence. but i think justice roberts is trying to play that fine line where he is trying to protect the very fragile authority that the courts have in the face of a president who is determined through tweets otherwise to really push the envelope, to try to get them -- almost to beat them into submission. and so if the courts are overtly political or seen as overtly political, they undermine their authority. and so justice roberts is trying to protect something that is fragile and that can easily be broken. so he is trying to walk a fine line here. >> we'll have to see how far this goes with the president's somewhat war on the judicial system. we appreciate your comments, michael, thank you. the details were shared on

. welcome back. the trump administration has announced it believes an american journalist captured in syria in 2012 is still alive. but as barbara starr reports, the government is providing few other details. >> reporter: six years after austin tice, a former marine was kidnapped in syria, the trump administration publicly says tice is alive. >> i want to make it clear that the united states government believes that austin tice is alive. we're deeply concerned about his well-being after six years of captivity. >> reporter: it is an extraordinary high profile move

by the white house to openly talk about a hostage who hasn't been seen since this video with his captors five week after his disappearance. he had gone it syria to photograph and report what was happening to ordinary syrians as the conflict heated up. journalists were in increasing danger. >> street fighting, you know, molotov cocktails, any weapon that you can imagine in an urban street fili fighting environmen. i was able to get some pretty good shots and tell a pretty good story that i think otherwise never would have gotten told. >> reporter: he was coming home for a year of law school. in august 2012, he vanished before reaching the border. >> we believe that he is being held captive in syria. i don't want to get into anything further on that front either. i'm sorry. >> reporter: but it is raising a

crucial country, is there real progress in bringing him home. >> an american official doesn't come out and say that hostage is alive unless they have really good intelligence. they know he is alive otherwise they wouldn't go public. >> reporter: cnn has previously reported tice is believed to be in the custody of the syrian regime even though it has denied it. his parents, debra and mark, say after several trips, they will try to travel yet again to syria. >> each time we go, we apply for visa to enter syria to gets a close to austin as we possibly can. and to try to reach out to those holding him captive. we continue our relentless effort to find the key that will open the door for austin's freedom. >> reporter: the administration says it has spoken to austin tice's parents several times to brief them about the latest on his situation and of course syria became such a dangerous place for journalists especially

freelance journalists working on their own like austin tice trying to bring that story out to the world. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. the sale of a child bride in south sudan sparked an international outcry after reports that the auction for her was shared on facebook. but the man who married the girl says that is not the case. we learn more are from farai sevenzo in nairobi. >> reporter: after much concern all over social media about her fate, the young girl who was married by a businessman from south sudan who paid 500 head of cattle, three cars and $10,000 in cash for her hand in marriage, the story came full circle again today when we spoke to the husband who won her hand in marriage beating four other suit suitors. her husband flatly denied that this was an auction. he told cnn that if it had been an auction, everybody would have

been allowed to bid. he strongly defended what he called dithe culture that you allows for the dowrys. and he says everything had been done in the correct way. when pressed again at what age she was when he married her, he flathl flatly refused to acknowledge her age. he says that the media portrays his culture in a negative light. and what is at the center of this entire story is what age young girls are getting married at. remember, unicef in their 2017 figures say 52% of the young girls getting married were under age, that is below the age of 18. and that is at the core of the entire story and what they do about their cultures which has not caught up yet to the rights of the child or indeed the rights of women. farai sevenzo, cnn, nairobi.

>> child marriages there are certainly nothing new. 52% of girls in south sudan are married before they turn 18, 9% are married by 15, and the highest levels of child marriage are found in africa. survivors of california's wildfires are slowly getting back on their feet and many businesses in the area are helping out. next, whether he tell you how stores on black friday offered fire survivors much needed relief.
