breaking news. good morning to you. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm in for christi paul, layla santiago. people are dead after a large tsunami crashed into the region last night. hundreds more are injured and dozens right now still missing. >> the psalm slammed into residential areas destroying everything there. look at this. no warning before this was hit they are reporting. this was likely caused by underwater landslides triggered by a volcanic eruption.

a tsunami here crashed into a live concert. ♪ [ screaming ] >> red cross officials say they expect this death toll, the number of people killed, to rise. ivan watson is following the latest. what are you learning about how this happened and what is happening now? >> reporter: well, the tsunami struck at about 9:30 on saturday night. this is a holiday weekend in indonesia. the indonesians have monday and tuesday off for christmas eve and christmas, so the tourist hotels, this coastal area along the strait in western java had a lot of tourists when this tsunami struck. indonesian authorities are saying no warning because there

was no earthquake registered. inste instead, they are blaming it on a volcano. some of our viewers may have heard of crackatoa. it was a cataclysmic volcano in the same area in 1833 and killed thousands of people and created this volcanic island active in recent months. authorities are saying even though eruptions throughout the autumn, what may have made this more deadly, the fact there was a full moon on saturday night and it was also high tide. so it sent this deadly wall of water toward the surrounding beaches, at some areas, a meter and a half high, going in some 500 yards inland and smashing through areas crowded with tourists. so the indonesian president has put out his condolences and we

are hearing about emergency crews going to the areas. there are hundreds of homes and buildings that have been destroyed. some of aerial footage we have seen is encouraging because many structures still look like they are still standing, but as you saw in that terrifying footage from that concert, you had people out on a saturday night partying, celebrating when this natural disaster struck. >> other disasters hid indonesia and we remember the tsunami that hit there years ago. thank you for your reporting, ivan watson. >> the moment that tsunami crashed into a band playing a live show. let's go back to that. ♪

>> just hearing the screams that come from that is chilling. >> no warning. it comes from behind them and knocked them off the stage. the lead singer posted this on social media hours after the tsunami. >> translator: i just want to say that our bass player banny and our manager hokey wejia pass away. i also ask for prayers for my friend indy, harman and hujan who are still missing at this time. also my dear wife is still missing. the rest of us have broken bones, minor injuries, including me, but we are fine. please pray that we can find indy, harman and hujan and my wife. >> the latest numbers we are just getting in. again, 222 killed, 843 people

injured and 556 homes, 9 hotels, 60 restaurants there, 350 boats damaged and still they are looking for 28 people unaccounted for. those numbers will fluctuate so soon after a tragedy like this. the roads have been demolished so they are having difficulty getting into the major areas where people are. >> which will be a problem for aid. those organizations that are trying to get in there to bring the clean water, to get to the children, to get medical supplies in, that is where you will expect things to happen quickly, but with the situation, the conditions being the way they are for, you know, we don't know how long, that will be an issue for sure. >> we will continue to bring you the latest on this thousand the morning. washington appears poised to enter what could be a lengthy shutdown. >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security. >> no further votes will occur

until the president and senate democrats have reached an agreement. >> white house officials say the president is not budging from his demand for $5 billion for a border wall. president trump, if you want to open the government, you must abandon the wall. plain and simple. >> the other big story of the day is lawmakers battle it out over a border wall battle. >> the next session is thursday. not the shutdown fight has so many people in washington worried. the president is trig.ing what he calls concern as he puts the idea of firing the fed chair and unprecedented number of cabinet vacancies. ryan nobles is joining us live

from the white house. the president is cancellinging his trip to mar-a-lago. >> that's right. >> reporter: it is anything but calm and quiet here two days before christmas. you're right. president of the united states choose to go stay here in washington which is rare for any president. not just donald trump who often apologize traveling to his mar-a-lago estate over the holidays. the president, in fact, his wife melania trump is expected to come back to washington as well and they expect to see the shutdown through the christmas holiday because the senate will not return to a formal session until thursday and that is because we are dealing with a stalemate here in washington. both sides not budging at all in their demands. the democrats on capitol hill asking for a clean resolution that would keep the government open until the first week in february, while the president insisted he gets some level of funding for border security which would extend to the

construction of that wall on the southern border. initially the president wanted $5 billion to begin that process and they made some progress in negotiations. we are told that vice president, mike pence, the director of the budget office and the incoming chief of staff mick mulvaney telling senators over the weekend they would be willing to negotiate $2.5 billion for that wall but the senate democrats turned that number down. so at this point, it is a staring contest between these two sides and neither seems to be in the mood to budge. as a result, some 800,000 federal workers will be off the job through the christmas holiday. >> ryan nobles, thank you. run of the president's most outspoken critics, bob corker will join jake tapper for "state of the union" at 9:00 a.m. this

another high ranking official in the trump administration has quit over the president's sudden decision to pull u.s. troops out of syria. >> two officials called it reckless and could not defend or execute it. cnn global affairs correspondent elise lavin explains. >> brett mcguirk has resigned. he told mike pompeo he would be leaving his post on december 31st. he was expected to leave in february to take up a post at stanford university, but his decision to leave early came on the wheels of president trump's sudden announcement he would be withdrawing all troops from

syria. now mcguirk days earlier was talking to reporters about the new u.s. policy to stay in syria. not only to defeat the remnants of is is but also to counter iran. he was in the region of meeting with coalition partners to discuss this policy and was sitting with iraqi leaders, talking about the u.s. commitment to stay in sea when president trump tweeted that the u.s. would be withdrawing from syria. people familiar with mcguirk's thinking saying that not only can he feel his credibility was on the line but also he doesn't feel he would be able to defend, let alone execute that policy. mcguirk has been the envoy dealing with the 70 plus-member coalition to fight isis since 2013. first serviing as the deputy to john allen and taking over as

envoy himself, clearly has done a lot to do to reduce the presence of isis. as he said, there is still remnants and he would it would be reckless for the u.s. to withdraw precipitously. i'm told that james mattis, who he was close to, affected his decision. mcgurk saying he could no longer serve the president in this policy against syria. elise lavin, cnn. let's bring in julian zeleny and siraj hasmi. thank you both for joining us. first, i'm going to start with siraj. let's remind our viewers what the president tweeted.

so president trump is essentially admitting to not knowing the guy leading the fight against isis after declaring they were defeated. stop me if i'm wrong here, but shouldn't they have been having these conversations? should not there be briefings that would have him know who mcgrk um mcgurk was? >> quite possibly. it should give americans pause when russian president vladimir putin and iranian ayatollah. it cannot be understated. it's possible he might be inflating his own significance but he did get turkey on board

with basically trying to stave off defeating the kurds and the kurds were absolutely integral and critical in defeating isis. they lost upwards of 10,000 troops in fighting isis. the fact that president trump doesn't know who mcgurk is not a good sign but he is the commander in chief and i don't have him to know who everybody is in the federal government. >> we are talking about isis here. mcgurk stood in front of reporters not long ago, public statements any way, before trump's tweet saying that isis was defeated. that is what trump says. he promised that america was in the fight for the long haul. let's take a listen to that. >> nobody is saying that they are going to disappear. nobody is that naive. so we want to stay on the ground to make sure that stability can be maintained. i think it's fair to say americans will remain on the ground after the physical defeat of the caliphate until we know

that defeat is enduring. >> trump says defeated and mcgurk says not defeated, no one is that naive. who is right here? how do we see isis in terms of how strong they are right now? >> well, look. it's clear they have been weakened over time starting with the obama administration right through today. the united states has made a lot of progress. it's also clear they haven't gone away and many officials are saying this is not over, the risk remains, the battle continues. president trump seems to be the outlier here and his own officials have been saying otherwise. that is part of what is going on with the reaction to the pull-out. part of this is about substance, opposition to the pullout and part of it process. when there is no clarity of what needs to happen next, impromptu fashion and leaving allies and

not knowing what is going on for him and mattis was really a huge mistake. >> we see that the gunmen in the christmas market in france pledged allegiance to isis and two people were beheaded to isis. isis has a way of spreading mistrust for the united states. they constantly in propaganda say these are guys you can't trust and they will abandon you. does that impromptu, as you said, julian, leaving of troops in syria sort of play into that narrative and should we expect isis to use that tro try to recruit people in the future? >> well, they will. it looks like isis will use whatever they can to recruit people. we have to remember the threat of the body of isis, which is diminished and the lone wolves who pledge allegiance to isis which, obviously, can happen anywhere in the world. the key to taking that on is to

have strong alliances and to maintain really close relations with other countries so that we can locate and find where the threats are. that is what was so troublesome about doing this to allies, not really telling them what the united states is out and doing. so that is the basis of the critique. >> siraj, transitioning to the government shutdown. it will last at least until next thursday. the senate has adjourned with little expectation of a quick deal. where do we find middle ground here? how do you see it? >> well, right now, president trump did himself a huge service by shutting the government down for his base. now, if he caved on funding for the border wall, a huge concession to make, especially early this year when he only got 1.6 billion for border security but not funding of the actual construction wall. with respect to his actual base,

there won't be a second term if he doesn't at least get a little bit of funding to help start construction of the wall. so just the fact that he is actually fighting for it is a good sign for him. now, again, if this bleeds into january and the democrats take control of the house, he might have a steeper hill to climb. but with respect to federal governments being furlough, this is probably better than the president expected even though the federal government employees will get repaid. >> fellow republicans are not happy. they didn't want this to happen during unified republican control of government. i think a lot of concern politically in terms of how this affects the standing of the party. and it's also a question of governance.

put politics aside, kind of regular government shutdowns which seems to be a norm in the trump er is not good governance. the president has the power to move this forward and reach a deal. the question does he could that or does he continue to stand his ground over what is essentially a monument. it's not about border security. this is really a monument and i think that is where many democrats feel they are taking him on. >> third shutdown this year. julian zeleny and siraj hasmi, thank you both so much. >> thank you. new jersey state civil rights officials are looking into an incident during which a high school's referee told an athlete, he had to cut his locks or forfeit a wrestling match. the video of the wrestler submitting to this haircut next to the mat has since gone viral. this happened on wednesday in new jersey. and cnn's polo sandoval has details. >> reporter: the school district has been told that the referee in question will not be officiating any matches at that

particular high school campus until a review of his actions has been performed. we should also mention that the new jersey attorney general's civil rights division now investigating this, looking into the possibility the bias was a factor in wednesday's incident. school district is offering a time line of what happened here. the varsity wrestler stepped onto the mat before the referee told him his head gear was not in compliance with the regulations. instead of forfeiting the match the wrestler agreed to have his hair cut on the spot. district saying none of his staff influenced the student in his decision. the district pointing out that the referee in question does not actually work for them but, instead, is part of new jersey state interscholastic organization. it's basically the governing body that oversees high school elections. the question that the school district and the state a.g. civil rights division is working

to answer is was this a case of bias? usually that athletic association would investigate these type of incidents between coaches and staff, et cetera. in this case, the state's attorney general's office and civil rights division will be taking the reins since the referee is a member of that athletic association. on saturday the doctor of that athletic association added a personal touch to the statement writing, in part, i quote. as an african-american and parent, as well as a former educator, coach, official, an athlete, i clearly understand the issues of play and probably better than most. the association takes this matter very seriously and i ask everyone respect the process related to all parties involved. we should note that cnn has actually reached out to not only the parents of this varsity wrestler but also to the referee in question. we have yet to hear back. polo sandoval, cnn, new york.

we are following breaking news in indonesia. the death toll climbing after a tsunami slams into beaches without warning. astonishing and terrifying new pictures coming in to us this hour. we know president trump likes to watch himself on the news but a gnaw claim in an article says he is watching even more and trusting his staff even less. more on that is coming up. for you, it's always leap over look.

welcome back. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm leyla santiago in for centennial olympic park. we are continuing to follow the news out of the indonesia. at least 222 people are dead after a large tsunami crashed into the region overnight. nearly thousand more injured, dozens are still missing, and those numbers will change. >> officials say there was no warning before the tsunami slammed into the residential areas and destroyed everything. look at the water coming in here. we are learning this was likely caused by underwater landslides that were triggered by a volcanic eruption and take a look at the moment the tsunami crashed into a live concert. ♪ >> absolutely no warning. i want to bring in cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. we are hearing this was caused

by an underwater landslide. explain what it is. >> it's one of those concepts that we often will hear related to earthquakes but this was triggered by a volcano. here is what happens. you have the volcanic eruption and often time the rock or the ground around it gets displaced. it falls down. but this time it's under water and in doing so, it's going to displace that water around it and that ends up triggering the tsunami around it. the key thing with a lot of underwater landslides is they are very localized. so the areas that get hit get impacted very severely but it's not very widespread. this isn't going to travel to the rest of asia or australia or other continents like some tsunamis will. here is the area of the tsunami. that is where you had the big tsunami waves begin to impact. this is a look at the satellite

imagery. you can actually see the eruption plume on satellite at the moment the eruption actually took place. again, this happened on saturday. there was absolutely no warning for these people. part of that reason, again, is due to they just don't have the infrastructure for a lot of these warnings in advance for this particular location. we know it was triggered by likely an underwater landslide from that specific volcano. the full moon and that played an impact because the water will be higher to begin with even before the tsunami began to push that water back in. >> my question for you, allison, we have now learned how this works and the impact of it, but is it done or is there still a threat for more of these underwater landslides resulting from the tsunami? >> unfortunately, yes. this volcano is not going to

shut off because it erupted once. it's likely it will continue to erupt. even landslides above the water and under water are still possible so it's likely you could have subsequent tsunamis. for those regions around there, they will have to remain on high alert because of it. >> this location is thousands of miles away but it's still connected in some way to the other big story we are talking about this weekend. the government shutdown here in the united states. how are these two connected? >> the difficulty of getting information. two sources that we often use is the u.s. geological survey and the pacific tsunami warning center. my producer and i have commented how difficult it is to get information about this. the pacific tsunami warning center has not issued any statements since prior to the shutdown. even under circumstances where they don't think there is a tsunami threat, they will still post on their website saying we are aware this is happening and we are monitoring it but we don't see a threat at this time.

they haven't even done that. another organization which is the local organization in indonesia that monitors this, the bmkg, their website is crashing constantly because it's the only outlet people can get information because the two u.s. sources are not providing information. so it's been very difficult to get not only up-to-date information, but any information at all because of those two organizations not being able to put out any information. >> allison chinchar, thanks so much. we will check back in a moment. another week. another dramatic staff shake-up at the white house. this morning, "the new york times" giving us a unique insight into the president's isolation and how he is spending more and more of his time. brian stelter has that story next.

a new article in "the new york times" paints a picture of president trump as well as just being lonely. the author interviewed 30 current and former staff members and many of whom say the president is as confident in himself as ever and trusts almost no one around him. >> this piece, a war waged every day waged increasingly alone is the name of it. cnn's chief media correspondent brian stelter joins us now. brian, this is a really dark portrait of the president being erratic at several intersections. >> dark is an excellent word for it. we are hearing more accounts of the president being isolated and the latest one from peter baker of "the new york times" is appeal worrisome. no matter what you think of politics or the president, some

of the details is worrisome. here is some of the quotes from the story describing trump being hard on his staff. the point about cursing comes up repeatedly in the story as well. "the new york times" not quoting the curse words but saying they happen frequently. another portion of the story that is set out to me. the president we know watches a lot of television and probably watching it now. here is what the story says about his increased television consumption.

we know the turnover at the top of the trump administration has reached 65%, according to the brookings institute. the detail about him being worried about people watching him suggests the paranoia "the times" story doesn't directly say that but hints at it throughout the story. not just "the new york times." "the washington post" and cnn and other outlets have had reporting along the same lines re recently describing the president is force ago government shutdown, et cetera, et cetera. you would hope we would be in a merry christmas season but instead the president is seemingly alone at the white house. nice his melania and their son is coming back to be with him during the holiday season. >> the article talks about the democrats taking over the house saying that he was happy that

they won and privately told associates he is glat democrats won in the house saying he thinks that guarantees his re-election because they will serve as useful and antagonists. do you think we will see that play out? i guess i wouldn't be too shocked. >> does that outweigh their subpoena power and ability to have oversight over this president? >> i believe the president is saying that to his friends and his colleagues in private. he is certainly able to rationalize pretty much the situation and find a positive for him in it. it's the power of a positive thinking, perhaps. we know he changes his tune from day-to-day or even from minute-to-minute on twitter, so i don't always put too much stock in those claims. i think it is notable the last few days we have seen the #trump resign trending and editorials in major papers expressing more concern than ever before. we have two counter forces at the same time. one is he may feel more optimistic, he may feel the

democrats will overreach and help him in 2020. at the same time an incredible amount of noise on the left demanding that this presidency come to an end. >> speaking of the noise, i think the way this pretty lengthy piece ends is quite poignant in which they quote a former under secretary at this administration, former secretary of state tillerson. how do we move people back are we in a new reality? a question i think a lot of us are asking as we go into that 2020 cycle. >> i have building with friends all the time. is there a post-trump feels more normal back to pre-2016 or no such thing as that any more and is it this way from now on? we see lea lot of coming out wi

comments and speeches and essays trying to stake a claim to that argument, whether there is a new normal or not. the idea that the president leads by his gut is something that comes up in "the washington post" this morning as well. the idea that he says, you know, i go by my gut and other people have false in their brains but my gut is the best. that is going to be tested the next two years like it never has been before. >> brian stelter, good to have you. >> thanks. >> do not miss his show.
