the president is surrounded by disloyal staff and, quote, swamp creatures. a mess for holiday travelers heading home this weekend. >> if you're one of them, listen up. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is in the cnn weathers center with more. >> a lot of delays today in multiple different regions is the key. in the northeast small delays from that system beginning to exit. in the southeast it's dense fog. you have over 40 million people under a dense fog advisory. but it's the midwest. this is where we expect to have some of our biggest problems in the next 24 hours. and that is because of our blizzard that is making its way into this region. when we talk about, i mean, true blizzard conditions. that doesn't just mean snow. that means incredibly gusty winds as well as very poor visibility. you have over 30 million people under some type of winter

weather alert from colorado all the way over towards michigan. but, again, wind is also a factor with this particular storm and even for the areas that are done with the precipitation, you still have wind gusts up to 65 miles per hour that will linger throughout the day today. in terms of how much snow these areas anticipate getting, why pride amounts about 6 inches but there will be some places that could pick up over a foot of snow. keep in mind this is a very fast moving system. so they could end up getting that foot of snow in, say, 12 hours or less. here is a look at the system for today. as we push into monday, it begins to transition more to the great lakes region and gradually into the northeast. so, say, you live in pennsylvania, ohio, new york. you still want to pay very close attention to this storm because it's likely going to impact your region monday and then into tuesday. so it's not just travel today but it's likely going to be travel tomorrow as well. >> i'm traveling tomorrow. >> sorry, martin! >> good luck.

>> thanks. >> sorry, martin. all righty. let's talk about the pushback on president trump's plan for the border. the mexican government says it has no reached an agreement with washington. sarah westwood is with us now. is the white house giving any clarity this morning as to the president's version and mexico's version thus far? >> reporter: christi, there is still a lot of uncertainty about where this deal stands. mexican leaders are signaling that this is still in the preliminary stages, it's still something under negotiation. president trump is touting this deal as all but a certainty. he tweeted yesterday that migrants who wish seek asylum in the u.s. have to wait in mexico before they are processed by u.s. courts and no more catch

and release where migrant are left out of detention into the united states while they wait for their cases to be adjudicated. if it came to fruition, it would be a major overhaul of the say eye l asylum system. the president has already attempted to make sweeping changes to asylum policy. in fact, a few weeks ago, he unveiled a proposed rule change that would require migrants if they wish to seem alsylum to be at certain points. a judge blocked that proposed executive action and the president has been fixated on that decision tweeting about the decision and tweeting about asylum and immigration as he spends the thanksgiving holiday here in west palm beach. he'll be wrapping up his travel to his property mar-a-lago today and then he'll be heading back

to washington before going to mississippi on monday for two campaign rallies in two locations in mississippi. he will be campaigning on the embattled candidate cindy hyde-smith in runoff race for the senate in mississippi. the president will defend senator smith tomorrow in the campaign rallies and perhaps those appearances will give him the opportunity to clarify where this deal stands and expand a little more on why the trump administration thinks this will be beneficial to the united states. >> sarah westwood, we appreciate it so much. thank you. mississippi senator cindy hyde-smith is facing new criticism over a measure she supported while she was in the mississippi state senate. it praised that confederate soldiers to defend its homeland and latest issue to plague her campaign. this tuesday's runoff could end up being a referendum what critics see as her very public

missteps. >> reporter: senator cindy hyde-smith tried to dial back the storm of criticism that republicans sparked about joking about a public hanging. during tuesday's debate in a runoff campaign, hyde-smith apologized but also accused others of twisting her words for political gain. >> you know, for anyone that was offended from my -- by my comments, i certainly apologize. there was no ill will, no intent whatsoever in my statements. this comment was twisted and it was turned into a weapon to be used against me, a political weapon used for nothing but personal and political gains on my opponent. >> reporter: her democratic opponent mike espy said her words weren't distorted by anyone. >> no one twisted your comments because her comments were live. you know? it came out of mouth so it calls

out state harm. it has given our state another black eye that we don't need. >> reporter: since the public hanging remarks, a number of corporate donors to the hyde-smith campaign have asked for their money back, including walmart. in a facebook on tuesday showing hyde-smith posing with artifacts. fueled more critics. how much it's having on voters depends on who you talk to. >> if people truly are understanding what she is all about, i don't think that will affect them. >> it made it very clear, both to me and to a lot of other black mississippians, that the republican candidates do not really have our best interest at heart. >> reporter: espy, who is still considered an underdog in this deeply red state, is counting on an energized black electorate swms as well as possible crossover voters for hyde-smith. president trump will be in

mississippi to campaign for hyde-smith and tuesday he seemed already working damage control. >> she made a statement i know she feels very badly about it and it was just sort of said in jest. she is a tremendous woman and it's a shame she has to go through this. >> this is a runoff election that takes place on tuesday and, of course, the question is going to be what kind of voter turnout will there be? that is critical to the outcome here. many people say they are already just over the whole midterm thing. so we will be measuring to see how many people actually show up at the polls. >> good point to make there. cnn political commentator is bus errol louis and kelly jane torrance is also here. thank you for being here. how potent do you think president trump will be for her intafed

based on everything? >> senator hyde-smith has not done well for herself. she had to stage manage this debate where she didn't have anybody in the room and it didn't get very much coverage. she is really saying trump trump trum state he won by a couple of dozen points and do her a lot of good. look. in her closing statements, she has made reference more to trump almost than to herself and her own record, that's how tightly tied she is to the president. she clearly thinks it's a strategy that is going to bring her across the finish line on tuesday. >> and the thing is, kelly jeanne, when we look at mike espy, this is a moderate democrat. he is physically conservative as i understand it. what are his chances and does it come down to him voter turnout? >> yeah. a good question. errol is right about how much cindy hyde-smith is tying herself to trump. you'll notice we don't see a lot of clips of her talking to the media.

her campaign actually seals to be keeping her away from media. i suspect they are worried she might have another slip of the tongue as they might claim to call it. but mike espy has a few of his own problems. it's a very tight race and a lot tighter than it should be given that president trump won mississippi with 58% of the vote. it's very tight. but mike espy has problems of his own i'm surprisingly not seeing cindy hyde-smith bring up so much maybe because she is busy defending her own gaff. he took money from somebody who is accused of inciting murder and rape so he has got some unsavory ties himself. i kind of feel sorry for people in mississippi. neither candidate is really that great to choose from and that might be one reason why this is such a close race. >> as martin just said, apparently people are over the midterms but this is the last race of the midterms at the end

of all the day. what are the repercussions for washington based on what could happen in mississippi on tuesday? >> i don't know that anything is going to happen in washington. espy, i think he knows he has very much of uphill fight to flip this seat under these conditions. there is an interesting midterm theme we have seen. the statewide races with black candidates in the deep south try to do what hasn't been done before in florida and in georgia, coming much closer than anybody would have anticipated, showing a path forward, i think, for the democratic party if they want to try to make inroads in some of these republican strongholds. at a minimum i think we will see, especially if it's a close race that mississippi can be added to the states that are within reach for democrats if they have the right candidate and the right pitch. >> i want to switch so the situation with mexico here. we just talked to sarah about that. and president-elect the folks

under him and cordero did seem to give differing opinions. according to "the washington post," cordero said, oh, yeah, this deal is something we are looking at and we are on board. last night, came out and said, no, no, we are not. kelly jane, is there any indication why mexico would agree to hold their own people until the u.s. gives them an okay to come across the border? >> yeah. my first thought when i heard about this teal was there had to be money involved, that the united states was going to be, you know, paying mexico for the care and any money they had to spend to take care of these migrants but "the washington post" story say it's not the case. i have to say i'm not sure the reporting that mexican officials are denying "the washington post" report is quite right. now the statement i saw from the incoming interior minister just said that mexico will not become a third safe country with an agreement with the u.s. what this means, the united

states has this agreement with canada. that means someone is seeking asylum they have to seek that asylum in the first safe country they get to so they cannot say intern to the united states and then go to canada to make an asylum claim or sis vervice ver. she is saying mexico is not developing that kind of deal with the united states but we don't need that kind of deal to have the kind of plan that "the washington post" reported and, of course, the trump administration would like. it would still allow central american migrants to apply for asylum in the united states even if they have already been in mexico. what it means that deal is that mexico will house those people and keep them there. they will not be permitted to stay in the united states while their claims are processed so those are two very different things. of course, given the incoming mexico administration is not even in power yet you can see why they might be a little nervous about making any specific deals and announcing anything specific until they

actually are in power. >> i only have a couple of seconds. errol, this is an incoming administration in mexico. what is the possibility that something is already being taint between the united states and mexico with this back and forth before they have even taken their posts? >> i think the u.s. administration may have spoken too quickly but when the new mexican administration comes in, there are some economic advantages to having them. there is mexican industrials who are saying, look. we have a hundred thousand jobs here and these central americans can have them in mexico. so, sure if they are waiting for an asylum claim, let's put them to work in the meantime. is there a possibility of a win/win here if we get lucky. >> errol louis and kelly jane torrance, always aappreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you. today on "state of the union," joni ernst and

a new book by former campaign manager corey lewandowski and it is set to hit shelves on tuesday. >> according to "the washington post" trump's enemies and calls

out top washington officials as president trump's inside enemies. that is a quote. it alleges dozens of white house insiders are working to undermine the president and delegitimatize his president. errol and kelly jane are back bus now. here is the thing. first and foremost, posseso peo understand what is in this. they target a lot of people in this book. they call michael cohn and paul manafort rats. they accuse some of, including former press secretary sean spicer being, quote, established republicans who didn't fully support trump until the day after he was elected when they began to angle for public powerful jobs and use colorful language to admission the russia investigation calling it a sweeping work of fiction so complex and so audacious and unbelievable that if they gave out awards for bad excuses the dems would win an oscar, enemmy

and maybe even a heisman trophy. errol, it almost sounds like president trump wrote this just based on his twitter feed and the things that he said because it's airing all of his grievances. your take? >> yes. this is straight -- look. these are the truest of the true believers, right? the rest of us look at the president's controversial actions which were, in fact, ratified to a certain extent by the voters in 2016. the controversial actions like the muslim ban. trying to get funding for a border wall on mexico. he is doing what he said he was going to do and that is controversial enough with 39% approval rating the rest of us look at that and say, okay, he is trying to do controversial things and not all that popular. we have got a struggle going on. the truest of the true believers look at it very differently and they say, the president is wildly popular and he would be succeeding more clearly if only there weren't these mysterious enemies. it's conspiratorial thing and it

doesn't really square with the facts. there are plenty of people who, take sean spicer. yes he is from a different wing of the republican party. he was not a protrump guy from day one. he came on and he did the best job he could and then he was fired. that is just the way it is. it's not a conspiracy. it's called democracy. >> listen. the president, we need to point out here, according to them, the president did sit down and talk with the two authors in september. september 20th. and, at that time, the president aired some more of his frustration saying this. i should have fired him, referring to comey, the day after i won and announced please get the hell out. the president also said, congressional republicans let me down by not fighting harder to secure funding to construct a wall at the u.s./mexico border. kelly, help us understand what is the intention of this book? >> i think one of the keys -- by

the way, i think you're right. why would people pay money to read this book when they can go on president trump's twitter feed for free and see everything it says? but i think one of the keys is one of the quotations that you read earlier when lewandowski and bossy were complaining about establishment republicans angling for powerful government jobs. corey lewandowski is still upset he did not get one of these powerful government jobs and i think that is a part of the motivation behind this book. he is taking out his frustration that all of these other people got jobs and he didn't. i have to say this seems like such old news. deep state. this is very 2017 as we are heading into 2019, don't you think? >> i will say, kelly jane, it is old news but it's been effective. this is something that the trump campaign has used and those that support the president say, hey, elect me because the president needs more people to support him either in congress or in the senate. and so this is a theme that works very well with those who

support the president and those who want to get on his appeal. >> a very good point. you notice in the interview that he did with lewandowski and what president trump did. he said he thinks the mueller investigation has increased his support amongst his base. he used the word love. he thinks they love him more for it. as much as president trump rails against robert mueller. i think you're right, martin, he gets more support from the base. >> there have been leaks in this administration, so too alleged there are people behind the scenes who are trying to do the president harm is not a stretch by any means. errol louis and kelly jane torrance, we thank you both. thank you. when we come back, facebook's nightmare continues. now the british parliament has got hold of documents that facebook fought to keep private and alleging little regard for

marty. >> just saying. >> we are glad you are too. i'm christi paul. thanks for being bus. >> i'm martin savidge in for victor blackwell. >> reporter: the social media giant fought for months to start being made public. >> it makes you wonder what is in them. it could include accordance between mark zuckerberg and outline a litany of allegations against facebook. join me is brian stelter. tell us more about this lawsuit and how did coming from california end newspaper the hands of the british? >> this is a remarkable story. it's been going on a while between facebook and a software developer who said facebook misused the website. it went through a process. in a lawsuit you have documents

that will be helpful for the suit. the hardware developer had correspondents for facebook in california. the head of the company happened to be in london for a trip. so the uk parliament, the british parliament used its legal process to seize the documents. this all unfolded over the weekend. now the british who has been leading this inquiry into facebook says he has more to come later this week. maybe he is hinting he is going to share some of the accordance. we don't know what is in this accordance, whether there emails from zuckerberg and if they matter in the grand scheme of things. it is remarkable to see the british parliament using these really unusual procedures to seize documents from a lawsuit that was happening over in california and it just goes to show how aggressive the europeans have been about regulation and oversight of facebook, and other technology companies. in general, i think it's fair to say the europeans have been more aggressive than the united states or other countries with regards to trying to police these big tech companies and try to manage what they do and

understand what they do and how they affect the public. this is another example here in this case the british parliament trying to obtain documents from facebook and just, once again, turn the screws on zuckerberg. they have been trying to get zuckerberg to testify and they have been trying to do all sorts of things to oversee facebook and this is one of those examples now. >> is it maybe the first step towards some sort of accountability of social media companies? not just facebook but what really are the repercussions here? >> google is under pressure from europe regulators. now the excrete knee is on facebook and twitter and social media giants. i spoke with some of these people last year and they have been doing a wide range study of fake news and misinformation and how it spreads on the internet. so they have been really interested in trying to understand what goes wrong and why it goes wrong on these platforms and how it can be made

better. like i said i think some of these european regulators are two steps ahead of the united states but we are now seeing in america are lawmakers both on the left and the right bipartisan interest in regulating facebook or try to create some consumer protections for facebook. when we say regulation that could be one of a dozen different things and think all of that remains to be determined. i'm curious to see when we get a democratic house in january what it could look like, what some sort of oversight of facebook, google, twitter, et cetera, could look like because for the first time, it does seem there is bipartisan interest in some oversight of these tech giants. >> interesting. brian stelter, thank you so much. >> thanks. >> he is not going away. brian is on his show, of course, "reliable sources" at 11:00 a.m. here here on cnn. brin's plan to leave the european union brexit has been given the go ahead. theresa may faces uphill battle

and she will try to sell it back home. cnn's erin mclaughlin is in brussels where she just spoke. what did she have to say? >> reporter: she is making the case for this deal saying that it's good for the whole of the uk. appealing directly to the british people. take a listen to what she had to say. apparently we don't have that sound. she essentially says that she plans to make the case for the deal, quote, with all of her heart. now after she made her statement, she did receive some questions from the british press, some of them asking her repeatedly if she would resign. she responded to those questions by saying it's not about me. they pressed again asking her on whether or not her government would collapse if this deal does not get through westminster. many brexit and both sides of the aisle are opposed to this

deal. she, again, deflected those questions. essentially what has been proofed here today by the 27th eu leaders are two things. the so-called divorce deal, the terms of the uk's departure from the european union. also the framework for the future relationship, sort of what happens after brexit in terms of the trade talks between the uk and the eu. eu leaders saying they are extremely sad to see the uk go, but both sides tipat this point saying they plan to remain a friendship but lots of uncertainty going forward as theresa may battles to get this through. >>. an alabama family demands answers after police killed their son after police mistaken him as the gunman a mall

later hoover police issued a statement saying bradford may have been involved in some aspect of the altercation but he likely did not fire the rounds that injured the 18-year-old victim. so police say there is at least one gunman still at large. bradford's family has now retained civil rights attorney benjamin crump. his office released a statement from the family saying they are heart broken and as we continue to grieve, rest assured that we are working diligently with our legal team to determine exactly what happened and why this police officer killed our son. we will never forget e.j. and ask for your continued prayers during this incredibly difficulty time. i talked to a woman at the mall who was there when it happened. she said she hid in a dressing room with others and she is frustrated how law enforcement has handled this entire situation. the officer involved with the shooting has been placed on administrative leave. the alabama law enforcement agency is now heading up the investigation into the shooting. natasha chen, cnn.

three-dimension maps of our mickey way galaxy. looking at the data the astronomers see stream of stars going through and one is going the opposite direction of our spins in the mickey way. they are seeing these stra inii the colliding galaxy if you will and able to calculate the dark matter. dark matter is a theory and not conclusively detected but basically astronomers it look at these and calculate how much mass has to be there and sometimes we are seeing factors of five, ten, or a hundred times less mass than should be there. or, you know, that weshe should able to see more and how they came up with the dark matter back in the late 1800s. >> it sounds fascinating but what does it mean? ? >> it means we have stars

productiving more maps of these stars and their rotations and we are seeing increased number of black amount of dark matter and hopefully this increase will allow us to maybe detect it, actually detect either directly or indirectly the directly or indirectly the existence one way or another of dark matter. >> so nasa will attempt to land on mars. >> exactly. >> how exciting is the community about this and what is the hope we're going to learn from it? >> very exciting mission. it's a nasa mission with international collaboration, studying the inside of mars, to measure mars quakes and the heat inside of the planet. you know, going to mars is not easy. less than half of the probes the world has sent to mars don't make it, historically. and so they describe six or seven minutes of terror. that's because mars does have an

atmosphere, six one-thousandth s of the earth's. parachutes can only slow you down so much. rocket engines, propulsive landing. so it's not until the spacecraft gets through the upper part of the atmosphere that they'll be able to signal back to earth to let the scientists know that hopefully they survived. >> hopefully, it does. it will be fascinating. another milestone coming up. for the first time in eight years, the u.s. will be back in the space transportation business. >> both spacex and boeing have been developing spacecraft to take u.s. astronauts to and from the iss and we've not been able to launch our own astronauts

since the space shuttle retired in 2011. demo mission one is scheduled in early january. it won't carry a crew but will launch the dragon spacecraft to dock to the iss. it will be a full test without a crew on board. later or a few months after that, they'll test their launch abort system on a live test, on a rocket. if all goes well, hopefully later in the year, we'll see the first nasa astronaut as board both of those spacecraft. >> that would be really cool to see. >> no doubt. leroy chiao, thank you so much. >> joking aside, i love all space stuff. it's really fascinating. >> and you know now who you can contact if you need someone to fill a void on the space movie. >> please, think of me. incredibly well preserved mummy revealed inside a
