will be lost. the decision is ours. ♪ 123450 . a power struggle in venezuela. a venezuelan military official switches sides, deepening the political crisis between juan gaudio and nicolas maduro. temporary relief. the government shutdown ends but president trump says they need to hash out a permanent deal in just three weeks. also ahead, a man hunt in the state of louisiana. police there searching for a suspect in a string of deadly shootings. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world, coming to you live from atlanta, i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george howell from cnn world headquarters. "newsroom" starts now.

4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. we start with the political turmoil playing out in venezuela. >> the nation's military attache in washington says he no longer supports the president nicolas maduro. he told cnn he's now backing opposition leader juan gaudio. he says gaudio's road map includes transparent elections. >> it is not just the people in venezuela that are picking sides, nations around the world also doing the same thing. here is a look at some that are backing gaudio, including the united states, the eu and much of latin america. >> here is who is still backing maduro. russia, cuba, turkey, and china. >> the u.n. security council debated the venezuelan leadership crisis at a special meeting on saturday. >> the u.s. called on other nations to join in standing behind the opposition leader. several european nations indicated they would if maduro failed to call new elections by

next week. here is cnn's michelle kosinski with more. >> reporter: we heard some tough messages on the floor of the u.n. security council. this was a special session on venezuela. called by the united states. secretary of state mike pompeo went there to tri to get other countries on board, to supporting the opposition leader, juan guadio as the legitimate leader of venezuela. he said he would have liked to have seen some kind of presidential statement come out of the security council. at least supporting the people of venezuela, supporting democracy, but he said even that could not happen because russia and china blocked it. and that was indicative of the kind of statements we heard. while pompeo was saying the time for games is over, either you're on our side and supporting democracy or you're on maduro's side and supporting mayhem, while russia and venezuela accuse the u.s. of orchestrating a coup in venezuela. on the ground there, the u.s.

has kept its embassy open, but pulled out all but essential staffers. and pompeo warned venezuela that it needs to keep those diplomats safe. listen. >> i want to be 100% clear. president trump and i fully expect that our diplomats will continue to receive protections provided under the vienna convention. do not test the united states on our resolve to protect our own people. we hope that the international community will support the people of venezuela and the transitional government led by juan guadio. >> you have the united states and a number of other countries supporting guadio and the united states has flat out said that maduro has no legitimate power. there are several european countries including the uk, france, germany, and spain who have given venezuela eight days to hold free and fair elections. and if that doesn't happen, they say they will also view guadio

as the legitimate leader. one hopeful sign, perhaps, is that there was word that some of maduro's team were talking to guadio. we'll have to see where that leads. michelle kosinski, cnn, washington. let's dive deeper into venezuela's political unrest with jennifer mccoy, distinguished professor of political science at georgia state, joining us via skype from budapest, hungary, today. thank you for talking with us. let's begin with this new development from washington. the venezuelan military attache pulling his allegiance from maduro. is that significant? >> yes, it is. it is what the gamble of declaring an interim presidency was hoping to provoke. of course, much more of this. he's doing it from a safe position in washington. and we'll have to wait and see if others follow him. right now guadio is hoping that

others around the world, other similar military attaches, might follow suit and eventually some in caracas. that is still yet to see. >> we know the opposition-led national assembly in venezuela offered amnesty to the military that steps away from maduro. that could be a tipping point. also, word that perhaps maduro and opposition are talking. would that be a very positive step? and do you foresee with what we're looking at now that there could be a political solution to this crisis? >> there has to be a political solution to the crisis. i think some people have an exaggerated hope that there will be a complete capitulation and somehow a whole new group of people will simply take over the reins of the government and lead venezuela forward. but it is not going to work that way. there must be negotiations and it is a very good sign if they are talking. because it is a complex

transition. even calling for new elections will take time to put the machinery in place, to improve what had been there before, to change the election authorities and to see who will oversee all of this process. there also have to be talks about exactly what the amnesty will entail. there is international law that does not permit amnesty for crimes against humanity and war crimes. and so there are some complications there. but it is absolutely necessary to give some incentives for the maduro government and its allies in the military, et cetera, to consider leading power without fearing what will happen to them when they leave. >> right. meantime, the united states continues to encourage countries to stand with the opposition. let's listen to secretary of state mike pompeo at the u.n. saturday. >> now it is time for every other nation to pick a side.

no more delays, no more games. either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in lead with maduro and his mayhem. >> we just mentioned the elections that some countries would like to see happen. you talked about the challenge of throwing that together. but how important is it for other countries to give their international support to mr. guadio? >> it would certainly continue to strengthen them. but the european union giving space of a week for the government to accept that there would be new elections is important because it allows time for negotiations. and another thing that they really must consider is -- that makes this more complicated is what guarantees will they give to the governing party to continue to participate and its supporters to have a political life in a future venezuela. >> well, let's take it back a step here. mr. guadio, 35 years old, planning a massive rally next

week, how did this relative unknown become an opposition figure with heft? >> well, he kind of rose up to the top of his party because many of the older leaders were exiled or imprisoned. it came down to him. but it has been -- he's given a miraculous sort of sign of hope to many people and he's exerted his leadership and his communication skills and i think his coalition building skills in a very savvy way. so that he is proving to be actually quite the leader. now, of course, he's got people behind him, advising him and he's got the other political parties and the opposition supporting him, unified in a way that they haven't been over the last year or so. so this is all pretty crucial for a move forward. >> and as you were speaking, we watched video of him swearing

himself in as the new president. will that stick? we appreciate your expertise, professor jennifer mccoy with us. thank you again. >> thank you. back here now in the united states, and a fresh warning to democrats from the u.s. president, he says negotiations on border security need to begin immediately. >> even though president trump left empty-handed at the end of the shutdown, he still insists he will build a wall. will he? boris sanchez is at the white house. >> reporter: there were a number of factors that led to president trump signing off on reopening the federal government this weekend. for one, he started to see his poll numbers slip and his disapproval rating go up as a result of the federal government shutdown. most notably on thursday the president received a call from senator mitch mcconnell with a senate majority leader telling president trump he was not sure how much longer he could keep republican senators in line and in agreement over the issue of

immigration, according to one source. mcconnell apparently told the president that gop senators were frustrated at what they felt was a lack of a clear strategy from the white house on how to reopen the federal government. and then on friday, we saw some real serious effects of the shutdown after many delays at airports throughout the country where air traffic controllers were effectively calling in sick because they weren't being paid as a result of a shutdown. so ultimately president trump ended up reopening the federal government, doing exactly what democrats asked, and not getting a cent for his long-promised border wall. the president is maintaining that he did not concede to democrats, he is playing cleanup. take a look at this tweet from president trump sent saturday morning. quote, 21 days goes very quickly. negotiations with democrats will start immediately. will not be easy to make a deal. both parties very dug in. the case for national security has been greatly enhanced by what has been happening at the border. and through dialogue. we will build the wall.

at this point, it is unclear exactly how negotiations will move forward for the president with democrats emboldened and republicans apparently split on this issue. privately we're told that aides talked about this as a humiliating loss for a president who does not often lose. boris sanchez, cnn, at the white house. let's talk now with amy pope. amy is a senior fellow at the atlantic council, also served in the obama white house as a member of the national security council. pleasure to have you on the show this hour live from london. >> thank you. >> let's start with the president's approval rating, if we can show our viewers where things stand now. this poll of polls showing disapproval now at 57%. this poll taken within the window of that partial government shutdown. and we understand, amy, that's one of the reasons the president took the action that he did, did what he said he would never do in so many tweets, caving to democrats, reopening government, putting workers back to work.

but not getting a single dollar for that border wall that he wants for his base. three weeks now. three-week reprieve before we're back to square one. question i have for you, who has most pressure now? >> the president continues to have a tremendous amount of pressure. it was clear he was losing the support of his republicans in congress as well as the american people. for many -- for the last two years, this president has been playing to his base. and that strategy has worked for him because congress has been dominated by the republicans. now he's dealing with a house that is controlled by nancy pelosi, by the democrats, and he really has to put into action this supposed talent he has for making a deal. so far he hasn't shown that he can do that. but now he'll have to do it. he'll actually have to govern and come up with a compromise. >> the president seems between a rock and a hard place moving forward. one pundit, ann coulter calling

him a wimp and adding pressure to that, if he gives anything to democrats on immigration or dreamers to get what he wants, wouldn't that alienate him even further with his base? >> the problem is that the president has been playing to his base this entire time. but his base is actually a small percentage of the total american electorate. if he has his eye on 2020, he needs to find a way that appeals to middle america, not just his base. his base is never going to vote for a democrat. i think he as an election strategy can count them in. but in terms of really getting things done, proving that he's offering something different than traditional partisan politics, he needs to find a way forward. now, he hasn't done that so far. but if he's going to continue to be successful, and show that he can govern, he has to find a compromise with the democrats. >> all of this, of course -- workers back to work, that's the good news. finally receiving a paycheck,

they will receive some back pay at some point. but for many, the damage may already be done with regards to missed payments, health obligations, evictions, things like that. could there still be a threat in three weeks for people to see the same thing and what about the chilling effect for people who may be considering government as a possible work option? >> i think this shutdown has been extraordinarily damaging for a couple of reasons. one, it held the american federal workers hostage to an unrealistic negotiation. the president was never going to win. he's in a position where he no longer controls the house, so he no longer controls the purse strings effectively. his strategy going in was flawed. but i think the other takeaway from this event was that the impact of the federal government goes well beyond the actual workers. we saw an impact on the communities where federal workers spend their money, we heard from restaurant owners who are seeing a dip in sales, we know that air traffic control

was affected and so people who were traveling their normal commute, or travel was disrupted, and we know that people doing things like getting approval for small business loans or getting assistance with housing or rent or even companies that were looking to go from private to public, the impact of this shutdown was felt well beyond the 800,000 workers and i think that's what's absolutely clear this time that may not have been clear three weeks ago. >> all right, amy, we appreciate your time and perspective, thank you so much. >> thank you. we are learning more from the indictment of roger stone about the contact between him and the wikileaks founder julian assange. >> according to the indictment, stone sought dirt on hillary clinton from stolen e-mails released by wikileaks in coordination with the trump campaign. our phil black takes a look at what that means for stone, assange, and donald trump.

>> the charges today relate in no way to russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration, or any other illegal act in connection with the 2016 campaign. >> reporter: the dissenter, it could damage hillary clinton's presidential race in coordination with the trump campaign. >> no, i have addressed that before, that is incorrect. >> reporter: the mueller probe paints a different picture. back to july 2016, when wikileaks releases thousands of stolen documents from the dnc, damaging to hillary clinton. and after that, a senior trump campaign official is directed to ask stone about more damaging information, organization one, wikileaks, might have. by august, stone gets an e-mail from person one. now confirmed to cnn as stone associate jerome corsi including these words. word is friend in embassy plans two more dumps. one shortly after i'm back,

second in october, impact plan to be very damaging. that friend, wikileaks co-founder julian assange, who has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since 2012, evading an arrest and potential extradition to the u.s. within a few days of the e-mail, stone claims direct communication with assange. >> i actually have communicated with assange. i believe the next tranche of his documents pertain to the clinton foundation. but there's no telling what the october surprise may be. >> reporter: and sends this e-mail to former trump adviser sam nunberg. i've dined with my new pal julian assange last night. he would explain it was a joke, but was it? both wikileaks and stone's camps deny they ever met and wikileaks maintain there wasn't a back channel, tweeting these are only stone, corsi attempts at braggadocio. new evidence of no back channel with wikileaks.

amid all the conflicting statements, we know that stone and wikileaks communicated directly from these private messages on twitter. october 13, 2016, stone messages wikileak that since he's been defending them and assange, they may want to re-examine the strategy of attacking him. wikileaks staff member replies in an attempt to distance wikileaks from stone. we appreciate that. however, the false claims of association of being used by the democrats to undermine the impact of our publications, don't go there if you don't want us to correct you. wikileaks tweeted this statement from an assange lawyer on friday. the charges against mr. stone do not allege mr. stone lied about his lack of contacts with julian assange. but rather about his contacts with others and about documents reflecting those communications. and goes on to say that the office of the special counsel has never spoken with mr. assange. phil black, cnn, london. >> phil, thank you. we're tracking developments in the philippines. a military official says at

least 17 people are dead, dozens more wounded, after twin blasts at a cathedral. they happened in the town of jolo in southern sulu province. >> the first blast happened inside the cathedral, the second targeted soldiers nearby. the region has seen violence between muslims and christians for decades. rescue workers in brazil have a long road ahead of them. they're still trying to find hundreds of people believed buried after a dam collapsed. we have an update on that story ahead for you. also after spending three days lost in the woods in the middle of winder, casey hathaway was found alive. his family tells his remarkable story. ahead here.

welcome back. signs of progress in u.s. talks with the taliban. but officials warn there is a lot to be done. >> on saturday, the u.s. envoy tweeted that he's heading to afghanistan after six days of negotiations in qatar. a source telling cnn the u.s. and taliban are discussing a cease-fire that may lead to a u.s. withdrawal. but there are fears that could mean the fall of the afghan

government. we're awaiting word that rescue efforts in brazil have resumed after heavy rain forced them to stop overnight. >> hundreds of people are missing and at least 34 people confirmed dead after a dam collapsed friday. for more about it, here is patrick hoffman. >> reporter: surveying the damage. brazilian president jair bolsonaro flies over the muddy aftermath of friday's deadly dam collapse. search efforts have doubled since the previous day. rescuers trolling through the mud and water, looking for anyone who still may be alive. so far, several authorities say, around 300 people have been rescued. a spokesman for the mine near the dam say all the missing people work for the company. police say they're trying to find a cafeteria they think is buried in the sludge. local residents say the search could be delayed because of the landscape. >> translator: the recovery of the area will be difficult because the whole area was full

with the river and vegetation. now the vegetation is all gone. >> reporter: officials say they're bringing in rescue dogs and israel says it is sending a rescue team and equipment to the scene. president bolsonaro says he'll do everything possible to find the missing and comfort those waiting for answers. >> translator: the government is taking immediate steps to help minimize the pain of family members. from now on, the work is basically searching for missing people, unfortunately. the death toll can greatly increase. >> reporter: patrick hoffman, cnn. we will keep you posted if they find more people alive. there is a massive manhunt on in louisiana right now for a suspect police say killed five people including his girlfriend and his parents. plus, looking ahead to 2020. we run down the candidates who are are lining up to take on the u.s. president and the specific

leader juan guadio. the u.s. tried to garner more support for guadio. eu nations suggested they would back him if venezuela fails to hold new elections by next week. in the philippines, at least 17 people have been killed by twin bombings in the southern part of that country. a military official says one of the blasts happened inside the jolo cathedral in sulu province. the second targeted soldiers nearby. sulu is in the mindanao region, it has seen violence between muslims and krichristians for decades. police in louisiana are searching for a man they say killed five people saturday. >> the suspect is believed to have shot his girlfriend, her father and brother, and then his own parents. kaylee hartung has the story. >> reporter: saturday morning, elizabeth and keith theriot were shot in their home in gonzalez,

louisiana, when police responded, the two victims were able to identify their 21-year-old son, dakota theriot, as the man who shot them. both husband and wife later died in the hospital in baton rouge. in the meantime, while authorities in ascension parish were look for this killer on the run, in livingston parish authorities began investigating the murder of three family members found in their home, billy, summer and tanner ernest. once the two departments talked to one another they realized they were looking for the same man as dakota was believed to have a relationship with one member of the ernest family. authorities no longer believe he's in the vicinity of these five murders committed in louisiana. they say they have reason to believe he's headed east towards mississippi. and they think he is driving this stolen vehicle from the ernest family. here you see a 2004 dodge ram pickup truck, gray on the top, silver on the bottom, license plate of --

here's more from the ascension parish sheriff. >> we know who did this and we will soon find this person and put him in jail where he belongs. this is probably i would say one of the worst domestic violence incidents i've seen in quite a while, for a young man to walk in a bedroom and kill his mother and his father and then kill friends in livingston that he had a connection with. >> reporter: the sheriff went on to say they believe this is isolated, they don't believe anyone else is a target for murder by dakota, but he is armed and dangerous. kaylee hartung, cnn. >> thank you. not february yet and the 2020 democratic field is already starting to take shape. >> it seems like candidates are throwing their hats in the ring almost every day. >> so here is the lineup as it stands right now. the california senator kamala harris, former obama cabinet member julian castro, tulsi

is making a first campaign stop. not in iowa or new hampshire, but in south carolina for her national sorority. >> what does this sisterhood mean politically? >> it is a fact that there are close to 300,000 women in the sorority, incorporated, and that is a fact. so it doesn't -- it is not rocket science. >> reporter: these translate into votes and bringing other people in? >> i think that's a fair assessment. >> reporter: these women are the foot soldiers of a powerful voting bloc. cnn exit polling shows black women supported democrats more than almost any other voting subgroup, helping drive democratic wins in last year's midterms. a fellow sister, the first black woman to enter the 2020 fray. >> it translates into a ready made group of people who will come when she calls. >> reporter: this isn't just a friendship or sisterhood. we're talking about political

as well. so let's take a look at the current windchills in fahrenheit. look at international falls, which is basically almost canada, take your bike over the bridge and you're in canada in five minutes. minus 41 is the current windchill there. minus 22 in minneapolis. minus 14 in chicago. this is wave two of three or four that are coming. the next one is the big one here. the next one, actually, a little moisture with it, a clipper diving in and that's going to allow for snowfall here. time this out for you. winter storm warnings posted, anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snowfall, so this little potent clipper will be coming in. and the winds will be strong enough where at times you won't be able to see. we'll be looking at blizzard conditions, blizzard warnings are not out. there is the timing, watch this, sunday, tonight, really when things get going. later this evening and heading into a monday as well. you see the snowfall continuing to move in. and the front brings it into the deep south. we have been talking about the

super bowl, snow in atlanta. this is not the center for big snow in atlanta. we may see a few flakes mixing in on tuesday, wednesday, not a huge deal. this will be, though, the arctic air behind this storm system here. along with that all the snow falling, 8 to 12 inches will stay on the ground. and it is going to freeze. we're talking ice here as we take you into the next 24 to 48 hours. that second wave will be coming in. and staying with us the next few days. all the way down to the deep south. but where the coldest air will reside, we're talking temperatures are going to be historically low here. look at chicago. 40 degrees below the average. minus 15 will be the high temperature as we head into wednesday. that is without the windchill, okay. you add some wind to that, and you got problems. look at minus 15, the high, the overnight temperature will be about minus 25. that's brutal stuff. and on either end of wednesday, we could stay below zero. that would be something i haven't seen in quite some time. decades we're talking here. here is the forecast for new
