and from all around the world. this is cnn "newsroom." the end maybe in site. that's the word from the acting attorney general on the investigation into russia meddling in the 2016 u.s. election. in the 20 month special counsel mueller has been on the case, he's secured more than 2 dozen indictments including those half a dozen trump associates. acting attorney general made the suggestion monday which could possibly mean there are no more indictments coming. here's what he said. >> i have been fully briefed on the investigation. and i look forward to director mueller delivering the final report. and i really am not going to talk about open ongoing investigation otherwise. but sort of the statements i

made were as a private citizen with publicly available information. and i'm comfortable that the decisions that were made are going to be reviewed. either through the various means we have. right now the investigation is i think close to being completed. and i hope we can get the report from director mueller as soon as possible. >> the other big issue looming over mr. trump is border wall. monday, white house press secretary made it clear that another shut down maybe just a few weeks away. the president ended the last shut down to negotiate a deal by february 15. meaning government workers could be thrown off their jobs yet again. we have the story. >> reporter: the white house holding its first press briefing of the year. the president doesn't want to go through another government shutdown. that's not the goal.

the goal is border security. >> the white house now holding the record for the longest time without an on camera briefing since they aired during the clinton administration. with 800,000 federal employees returning to work today the record for the longest government shutdown in history. but that return could be short lived. this group of bipartisan lawmakers have three weeks to find a funding proposal to clear both chambers of congress and get the president signature before the government runs out of money again on february 15. trump appearing doubtful a deal will be struck telling lt "wall street journal" he believes there's less than a 5050 chance. his chief of staff making clear that by passing congress and declaring a national emergency to fund the border wall is a top option. >> he's willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border. >> reporter: a new estimate from the congressional budget office showing the shut down cost the u.s. billions of dollars. including $3 billion that won't

be recovered. trump feeling the heat from the prominent members of the base. including an koulter. who said he was the biggest wimp to serve for conceding to democrats demands. >> the base is what rebelled here. that's all i am a member of the base. >> trump telling the "wall street journal" she ha become hostile. maybe i didn't return her phone call or something. a long shut down with nothing to show for. moderate law makers are frustrated too sfwl shut downs are never good policy. ever. they're never to be used as means to achieve any kind of goal. no matter how important the goal may seem to be. they're ineffective. >> nancy pelosi officially invited the president to deliver state of the unit on february 5. one week after he was scheduled to do so. and has accepted. writing in letter saying quote

we have a great story to tell. and great goals to achieve. this will get the president on opportunity to make a case for his wall. during a televised prime time address. as congressional negotiators are meeting behind the scenes trying to negotiate a deal. >> we're joined now. the school of economics and political science at the university. james, what is going to happen february 15? i don't see nancy pelosi caving in. does the president declare a national emergency? >> if i had to take a wager on that, the president will cave in again. the president has himself into even a tighter bind than he was in before. the shut down was ended temporarily. he's now passed the ball to the congress. we have a senate and house

committee comp rised of both. working on a deal. many are quite reasonable. if they come to a solution that the president himself rejects. it is clear to everyone that it's the president that is the obstructionist. party in the game. and i think he'll take another hit in the polls. for that. he can't cooperate with the democrats for fear of losing his base. but he's in the meantime losing so many middle of the road americans that i think this is a lose lose situation. but it's one of his own making. >> i want to now look forward to 2020. howard shults former ceo of starbucks announcing he is considering a run as an independent. that's the best news trump has had for a while. >> it is. the question is of course

whether there's anybody out there who wants him to run. there are people that think both of the parties have failed. we're seeing already a very lively group of democratic contenders. who represent a broad spectrum of political positions. we may see a primary challenge against the president. and so the question is do we really need this campaign. we'll see. in the end of course he would be a spoiler. he'll divide the antitrump vote. and perhaps be the person who is known forever as the person who delivered trump into the white house for a second term. >> kamala harris declared she is running for the democratic nomination. do you see her as a strong candidate? who can possibly go all the way. >> early polls show her to be

tracking well with the democratic base. she's the most popular of the candidates so far. and of those who might declare for example. she's running in current polls higher than the former vice president. she is the person who maybe able to put together that obama coalition. of younger voters. of multi-ethnic group of voters that really propelled obama into the white house twice. she steams to be the person that maybe able to the coalition. she's a formidable candidate. she's one of the number of women who will be running. she's one of the number of minorties running and the democratic field will be full. and exciting primary campaign to watch. >> of course if matt whitaker is right and mueller will drop the report. we'll be talking about nothing other than that.

>> that's right. the question is of course whether whitaker has credible information on this. the report where the fbi seized nothing only arrested roger stone. but seized numerous documents and computers in the raid. those are going to take some time to sort through those documents and the computers. and who knows what they'll come up with. so i'm a bit skeptical about claims there are in indictments coming. we or even the special prosecutor may not know whether there will be anymore indictments. it's all a function of what's in the documents. and what other witnesses say in the next few days and weeks. >> i want to read a bit of something elts else that whitaker said. i'm comfortable the decisions that were made by the special counsel are going to be reviewed through the various means that we have. that has got a few democrats a

little anxious. >> yeah the question that everybody has is where does mueller's report land. does it land only in the offices of the attorney general or the acting attorney general? and is it the discretion of the attorney general to decide whether to move forward with the report to share the contents with anyone else. or is this report also going to be handed over to the relevant over sight committee of congress. in which case we could expect a much more thorough discussion. of what's in them and decision on whether there's any basis in the documents and the report. for the opening of impeachment proceedings. that's the question everybody is asking. it will be a function of where that report lands and whether it sees the light of day. >> thank you. now to a new move by the trump administration. to try to force nicholas from

power in venezuela. the u.s. is imposing sanctions against the state owned oil company. which it accuses of embezzling money for politicians and businessmen. top u.s. officials are not ruling out a military option. we have reaction. >> reporter: harsh reaction from the em battled venezuela leader. against the oil sanctions. we have been oil sanction that the department of state placed on the venezuela state company. on monday evening. he defined labeled the sanctions as criminal. and unjustified. and order legal action against the sanction. you have some strong words against the u.s. president. directly calling on him and saying that you will have blood

on your hands if you go ahead with further pressure on venezuela. but at the same time further pressure is indeed coming. the opposition called yet another wave of street protests next wednesday and the following saturday. and with the option from the international community to take the money away from the pressure is only going to be heavier. >> joining me now. from london. a principal analyst for the americas at the business consultant firm. we have a situation here where the u.s., colombia a number of european countries are saying he's the actual president of the country. russia and iran. china standing by. you have three and a half

million people left the country. how can this end without more bloodshed? >> well, what's happening is according to article 23 the exec tiff power the president of the national assembly has to step in. that's what happened. he has assumed a interim. all the domestic pressure in the form of riots. all the increasing discontent within the military and international pressure in the form of sanctions will lead to a situation in which through a possible -- military situation. which he would agree to step down. that's what i see more likely happening. if that's not the case then certainly protests will continue to escalate and see the military withdrawing support for him.

to leave office. i don't see necessarily that there's going to be armed confrontation between military and the violence i'm seeing is more with the security. exercising and protestoring him to step down. and assume functions. >> what about the possibility of u.s. military intervention? the white house had 5,000 troops to colombia written on the notebook. >> it is difficult to make an assessment or that possibility. what is clear is that following what started as a political, social and economic crisis and half turned into a full blown migration and humanitarian crisis. three million people left the country. and 10% of the population. the whole region is in agreement

that the real solution is needed in case he refuses to step down. and the key thing here is that this is basically he leads a military involvement. he continues having strong military support. but many from the high military command. which he has granted a will the of power. in terms of airports and oil services. imports. but also some of the top commanders not all of them are highly fuel smuggling, illegal mining. human trafficking. and obviously legal incentive to sort of step down. now at the rank and file and there's a lot of clarity that he need to step down. and the moment has come to pave the way for a democratic

transition. >> i want to play a little bit of my colleague. spoke to him earlier. take a listen. >> are you prepared to seek complete to achieve the goal of removing the government? >> translator: we are sure we can achieve a peaceful transition. a transition and eventually free election. now during this period where we end occupation because he seized the executive power. his administration ended on january 10. there was no election that endorses him. we must use great pressure for a dictator to leave. install a government and have free elections. >> would he live up to those statements? do you think. >> absolutely. i think he's aware he's a means to an end and the end he's free of fair election. he's demanding.

that's what demanding. that's what international communities are demanding. these started when president tried to elect himself on may 20 last year. in through an electoral that -- 2013. 2019 monday expired and article 23 of the constitution allowed for the head of the national assembly to step in. we have to remember that the 2013 election in which he was elected in the first place was also not recognized. and he could have also got into power through an electoral fraud. a president who probably was never elected in the first place. i do think that certainly he's aware he'll lead a transition toward free and fair election. and the next steps are to create

a condition to appoint an independent national and the electoral role. for venezuela to vote in free free and fair election and decide their fate. and a country which has the largest pool in reserve. in 1999, 3.4 million per day. two years ago, open elections. the a the the moment it's 1.2 million a day. falling very rapidly. and it could end a year -- if there's no regime change. for the people on the ground what this means is shortness of food. and collapse of the health system. and no electricity. no water supply. mo gas. which is what most use to cook. hyper inflation. workers pushed to capacity.

economic attraction. which means the economy is going nowhere. that's basically a situation. that's what the people in the streets are demanding. seeing increasingly -- >> we'll have to move on. but i thank you very much for your insight on the country. i appreciate it. next. trade talks between the u.s. and china are set to resume wednesday. the long list of charges against tech giant may sour negotiations. plus, dangerously cold weather impacting much of the u.s. and it's only going to get worse. included from t-mobile. the amazing iphone xr is perfect for all those new year, new you selfies. and only t-mobile has unlimited with iphone xr included for just 40 bucks. so get the iphone you love most from the most loved in wireless. bring your family to t-mobile and get the amazing iphone xr included

days ahead of renewed trade talks with china the u.s. is targeting chinese tech giant. in two sets of charges the justice department accuses them of trying to steal trade secrets from t mobile and violates sanctions against i ron. u.s. says the chief financial officer played a key role in the scheme. to conduct business in iran. she was arrested in canada and fighting extradition to the u.s. >> as the indictment charges the

alleged fraudulent financial scheme used and its chief financial officer were not just illegal, but detrimental to the security of the united states. they willfully conducted millions of dollars in transactions this direct violation of the iranian transaction and sanction regulation. and we will not as a country tolerate effort to circumstance null vent u.s. sanctions and threatens the united states and allies. >> cnn joining me now from beijing. with the latest. is this another card in the trade war perhaps an ace? >> it's all connected. and the company as well as the chinese government have responded to the latest indictments quickly. and firmly. the company said it was disappointed to learn the charges saying in a statement the company denies that it or its affiliate committed any

asserted violations the of u.s. law set forth in each indictment. is not aware of any wrong doing. and believes that u.s. court will ultimately reach the same conclusion. and the chinese government response is en more forceful. with a foreign ministry spokesperson accusing the u.s. of trying to destroy the normal and lawful through politically motivated charges. also called on the u.s. to drop the charges and again urged canada to release her immediately. all things considered, these statements are fairly restrained. there's no threats of retaliation. or consequences. as china had done to can did. one likely reason is -- the next round of trade talks. the leadership probably doesn't want to derail the talks before they start. one thing is clear.

these indictments really show that there's an increasing consensus. within the u.s. government and between the u.s. and close allies. on the danger of using the te technologies. there's rising concern over the alleged theft of intellectual property. that's a sticking point and complaint by u.s. and could effect the latest round of trade talks. >> long time trump confident roger stone heads to court in fau hours. we'll update you on the case against him and the other trump associate ts facing charges in the russia investigation. british mime minister gets a chance to sell her brexit plan. again. this time, parliament could make edits. a live report from london coming up. place, the xfinity xfi gateway.

finally report on the incident says the pilot felt a colleague was questioning his reputation. says he was involved in an unnecessary, unprofessional and long conversation even in a critical phase of the flight. the acting u.s. attorney general says he's been fully briefed on the mueller investigation. and says he thinks it's close to being completed. whitaker says hopes the report from the special counsel will come in as soon as possible. the latest trump associate to face charges in the mueller investigation is roger stone. long time trump friend and adviser heads to court tuesday on charges that draw the clearst line yet between the trump campaign and democratic e-mails stolen pi by russia. released by wikileaks. >> roger stone flashing his nixon victory sign outside the florida home as had e headed to

washington. the self-proclaimed dirty trickster is expected to be inside a court tomorrow. to face arraignment on his seven count indictment op charges of obstruction. false statements and witness tampering. related to the russia investigation. he courted reporters before leaving for the airport. seeming to flip on his previous statement that he could cooperate with mueller. >> are you willing to cut a deal with mueller. >> i don't answer hypothetical questions. i have no intention of doing so. >> that possibility open. >> any chance you'll cooperate? if he asks. >> i would certainly testify honestly. i would testify honestly about any other matter including any communication with the president. >> roger stone has been making the rounds. >> i said i'd like to know what the charges are. we'll tell you that in the car.

>> stone lied about directing corsi to contact wikileaks founder to find out about more e-mail dumps. corsi said on the state out of the union the information in the indictment is accurate. >> i'll be happy to testify. i suspect to be subpoenaed. and let the testimony falls where ever it falls. >> corsi insists he was acting on instinct when he -- >> roger stone fired back. >> i have e-mail messages. texts that proves he would be lying. >> lying exactly the charge stone and several ore former trump associates are facing in the mueller investigation. including the president former attorney and fixer michael cohen. former chairman paul manafort. michael flynn.

george papadopoulos and all accused of lying to federal investigators or congress. the unanswered question is why do they all seem to have lied? >> who else could be lying. that's the question house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff is pledging to help mueller get to the bottom of. schiff says one of the first acts of his committee will be to send transcripts of all witnesses to the special counsel. so mueller can consider any additional perjury charges. >> two months to go until britain is supposed to leave the eu. theresa may is set to face parliament again. two weeks after lawmakers rejected the deal to leave europe. she's out line plan b. set to debate possible amendments to the deal to break the deadlock or maybe delay the entire process. for more, phil black is live.

the plan b. we have a dozen amendments that are putting forward. among them saying theresa may should go back to brussels and hammer out a deal. another one to delay everything if we don't have a deal by february. and saying a second referendum. another saying we should completely reject and no deal. surely they won't hammer it out by the end of the day. >> it's likely most of the amendments don't have a chance. of being selected or passing. there are a couple of key areas to look for. notably the ones that seek to prevent or discourage britain leaving the european union. without a deal. the so called no deal situation. the wide view is that would be an economic disaster. there's one notably put forward by an opposition labor which could see the parliament ordering the government to delay

the 29th. if a deal isn't in place by late february. it would take no deal off the table for a period of time. and in doing so deprive the mime minister of a key piece of leverage. it's my deal or no deal. she's been trying and failing to muscle her deal through. that would take that away. and be parliament saying we don't like your deal and we'd like more time. another key amendment is one the government does support. that relates to the irish border and what could happen there. it's the deeply unpopular cause within the prime minister deal. known as the backstop. which is supposed to prevent in the future a hypothetical situation to ensure there will never be a hard border there. again one of the amendments says the deeply unpopular clause should be replaced by something else. the prime minister wants that to pass she feels it would empower her to go to brussels and say

cut me slack on this particular point, i'm sure i can get the rest of the deal. we spent two years negotiating through parliament and brexit can proceed. relatively smoothly. that's the plan. there's still so much tremendous uncertainty surrounding this. we don't know which amendments will be selected to be debated today and which have the numbers to pass. it is possible coming the end of the day we could have clarity on this. or a little more clarity about the next steps. we could face yet again the continuing stalemate. >> clarity and brexit. two words that are not often used in the same sentence. now for months jurors heard gruesome details in the case against el chap o. his lawyers are presenting a defense. will it make a defense? it was set to be a sad lonely funeral for a u.s. war veteran with no family or friends. until some total strangers

damage to the skin. and hypothermia. look at this the free falling temperatures originating from the siberia. the local meteorologist in chicago gave the nickname a couple years ago. because of the air that's coming down through chicago. the color contour. red into the north. very little modification as far as warming is concerned. we get a multiple reenforcing shot of cold air across the great lakes and eventually into the north eastern united states. that really sets the stage to see the coldest low temperatures we have ever observed in the areas. 17 above is what is normal during the cold season in chicago. minus 24 is what we expect. which would shatter the previous records. incredible pattern shaping up across the midwest. >> the president has been tweeting about the weather. i'll read it now.

he tweets in the beautiful midwest windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees. the coldest ever recorded. in coming days expect it to get colder. people can't last outside for minutes. what the hell is going on with global warming? come back fast. we need you. discuss. >> he's tweeted over 100 times since 2009 before he was president about climate change and weather in general. the difference is vast. weather or climate. we talk about weather it's like a mood. climate is your personality. it's a long term sort of representation of everything. and weather being short term. how the pattern behaves within days or weeks versus weeks months and years. in the case of climate. again you broaden out the perspective and look at a global scale. we see very isolated pockets of extremely cold temperatures. parts of northern asia and the

midwest united states. even in this early stage of 2019, you see the pattern has favored warmth over cold. it depends on how you look at it. and climate of course we're talking about a broad perspective vs. a narrow. next. an incredible rescue caught on video in chicago. by a police officer body camera. a man had gone into lake michigan to save his dog from the freezing water. but couldn't pull himself out. a witness called 911 and five officers responded. forming a human chain. to save the man's life. and roger stone the latest donald trump associate indicted in the russia investigation is also feeling the heat from the fashion police. >> reporter: whether he's giving an interview or flashing the peace sign. it's not what he's doing. it's what he's wearing that

sticks. while nancy pelosi takes her sunglasses off to talk to the press. stone puts them on. but some blame him for wearing a top hat. the president trump inauguration. stone was compared to villain whiplash in mr. peanut. he considers himself a dapper dresser with his pocket squares and round glasses. even on his legal defense fund page when he wears. he gets baa raided. why he wasn't arrested sooner for his fashion choices. >> stone's beret and leather jacket may you want to pull a paul manafort with the ostrich jacket and bury your head in the sand. the most famous part of the look is what he wears under his clothes. >> the nixon tattoo. it's really all you need to know about him. >> reporter: the tattoo is featured in the documentary. get me roger stone.

it's gotten stone parodied by political cartoonist. and in ominous development for trump. he gets mueller tattoo. stone is actually the men's fashion correspondent and conservative web site the daily caller. his best dressed list for 2017 featured melania and trump. fox news favorite. his worst dress list included beto. dweeb, washed out. he called him. and trashed michael cohen for the sports jacket. not that stone would ever wear such a thing. wonder what he was wearing when the fbi rather than the fashion police woke him up and said you're under arrest. thanks for joining us. early start is next. for viewers in the u.s. for everybody else stay tuned for more news with max foster.
