questions about motive and security. they come in the bake of a deadly shooting on a u.s. navy base by a member of the saudi military. refusing to cooperate. the white house says a strongly worded letter to lawmakers who are considering impeaching lawmakers. and out of control, raging bush fires in australia, and firefighters are working

desperately to put hundreds out. it's all ahead. welcome to viewers in the u.s. and around the world, we're coming to you live from atlanta, georgia, 5:00 in the morning. i'm natalie allen and "cnn newsroom" starts right now. thank you so much for joining us. our top story, the fbi is trying to determine why a gunman shot and killed three people at a naval base in pensacola, florida. the attacker identified as mohammed al shamrani was killed in an exchange of gunfire with deputies. authorities say he was a member of the saudi air force and was training at the base. investigators say it is too early to draw conclusions about what led to the attack. >> we are not prepared at this hour to confirm what may have

motivated the shooter to commit this horrific act today. there are many reports circulating, but the fbi deals only in facts. >> the investigation is global in scope, as you can imagine. pentagon correspondent barbara starr has more about that. >> this is a dark day for a very great place. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis confirming that the suspected gun man in the mass shooting at naval air station pensacola is a member of the saudi military. he was there for aviation training. a motive has not yet been identified. but fbi investigators are looking into whether the shooting was related to terrorism. >> the government of saudi arabia needs to make things better for these victims. and i think they they're going to owe a debt here given that this is one of their

individuals. >> reporter: but tonight president trump who has stood through the royal family through moments of crisis in the past is now relay be a mess afternoon of behalf of saudi arabia's king salmon. >> the king said they're by the actions of the shooter and that this in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the saudi who love the americans so much. >> reporter: law enforcement officials confirming the suspect used a handgun killing three people before he was killed by police. eight others were injured. what was a saudi air force doing an a u.s. navy installation? >> there's always been international students training here because it's a good place to train. >> reporter: u.s. often have military come to their base for training a practice that will come under scrutiny even as investigators talk to those who

knew the shooter. the saudi news agency said the king has ordered saudi forces to cooperate with american investors. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. >> a pentagon spokesman said there are more than 5100 students in the u.s. for training. frederick lleyton explains how the selection process works for letting these troops train in the u.s. >> types of selection processes that a country like saudi arabia has, we're gent on those, before we allow them to come into our country. and the fact that these kinds of procedures did not catch this individual, we have to figure out, you know did he radicalize himself. during his time here in the united states. or was this the long-held plan that he had to do something like this. and, of course, those things are

unknown at this time. >> saudi arabia has strongly condemned the attack, as it tries to quash any notions that it promotes extremist ideology. even though no motive has been revealed yet. sam kiley has more about it from abu dhabi. >> reporter: the confirmation that saudi citizen saudi member of the royal air force there muhammad al shamrani was the gunman who murdered three others before he was gunned down himself by sheriff's deputies in florida couldn't come at a worse time for saudi arabia, both diplomatically and militarily, it relies incredibly heavily on the relationship particularly between the saudi air force and the united states. it is a major purchaser, of course, of american aircraft. and air power. and it needs those pilots to get trained. at the same time, it is in a very tense standoff, indeed,

with nearby iran, with recent rocket taxi on its oil facilities being blamed on that islamic theocracy. and whatever the motives behind these attacks, they inevitably conjure up memories going all the way back to 9/11, when the majority of the terrorists involved in those atrocities were from saudi arabia. and questions that have been raised, almost constantly, about saudi arabia's influence in the wider dissemination of extremist ideology through the whahhabi creed something that saudi arabia has worked hard to deny and to quash. king salmon moves extremely quickly and calling the u.s. president and then putting out a very swift statement through the saudi press agency, condemning this criminal act, and promisically critically

unfettered access of the secured saudi arabian security sources. and the reason for that is the background of the tension with the united states over the murder of. jamal khashoggi who was murdered in their consulate in istanbul. so, a great amount of diplomatic and military focus on this incident which has not yet been proven even to be an act of terrorism. sam kiley, cnn, abu dhabi. the white house is saying it will not participate in the impeachment process now under way in the u.s. house judiciary committee where articles of impeachment against president trump will soon be written. the move surprised no one since the administration telegraphed its intentions days ago. the jerry nadler, the committee

chair, took the rejection in stride. here's a quote from him. if the president has no good response to the allegations, then he would not want to appear before the committee. having declined this opportunity, they cannot claim that the process is unfair. for more, here's cnn's jim acosta. >> reporter: with the white house digging in and signaling the at station won't participate in the next stage of the impeachment inquiry in the house, president trump ignored the questions swirling around him. the new letter from white house council pat cipollone all but tells house democrats to get lost saying, quote, as you know, your impeachment inquiry is baseless and has violated basic principles of fairness. telling cnn the administration will not cooperate with the proceedings. aides to the president are making it all about house speaker nancy pelosi predicting

she will pay a critical pace on president trump. >> if they actually go forward with the impeachment articles that nancy pelosi solidified the fact that she will not be speaker of the house next year. >> wow, wow, wow. >> reporter: white house explained pelosi was barreling toward impeachment before the judiciary committee's friday deadline to decide whether to cooperate in the process. >> i do think it's somewhat interesting, though, that nancy pelosi said to move forward with articles of impeachment, even though we hadn't responded to the letter but that shouldn't be a shock because she also wanted to move forward with articles of impeachment before we actually released a transcript. >> reporter: but the white house officials are still dodging big question on what the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani has been up to all week in ukraine. >> is the president aware of what will rudy giuliani -- >> that's a question between rudy and the president.

i haven't spoken to him about that, obviously, rudy giuliani can speak for himself. >> reporter: noting giuliani was a central figure in the essentially dirt for dollars deal for the leader of ukraine. >> i don't for a moment believe that the president is telling the truth when he says he doesn't know why rudy was there digging up dirt. as has been pointed out, he has specifically asked any number of people to take directions from rudy giuliani on the burisma/biden investigation that he so desperately wanted. >> reporter: hundreds of the nation's top legal scholars have written an open letter stating that the president has met the threshold for impeachment adding his conduct is precisely the type of threat to our democracy that the founders feared when they included the remedy of impeachment in the constitution. the president is sounding like a broken record tweeting where's the fake whistle-blower? when's whistle-blower number two, where's the phony informer who got it all wrong?

mr. trump is touting the economy that created 260,000 new jobs last month as the unemployment rate ticks at 3.5%. the president is taking credit for that pointing to deregulation. >> it's 20 times more expensive and it doesn't make you look so good. and of course, being a vain person, that's why it's important for me. it gives you an orange look. i don't want an orange look. >> and the president's tweet from earlier this week when mr. trump called on house speak nancy pelosi to impeach him quickly. pelosi appears to be doing just that as the house is on course to impeach the president by the end of the year. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. well, let's talk about latest developments with jacob para parachelis.

he joins us from nigeria. >> good morning. >> in your wourk, you focused o international policy, you have worked for homeland security, how might impeachment affect the u.s. relations with its allies? >> well, the major impact is going to be that the top of the u.s. political system is going to be consumed with this for months to come. there's going to be relatively little bandwidth, particularly because is this not a scandal, this is a scandal that involves the national security council, the state department, it involves the department of ener energy. so the people involved in those departments especially the heads of those departments, rick perry, mike pompeo are deeply involved with that. and that completely separate from what they did wrong but less focused on one set of

issue. that's one set of issues. the other is the question of what it says about american policy. the allegations essentially that donald trump is running a shadow foreign policy directed through rudy giuliani and gordon sondland that presumably reduces the level of stock that the american ally might put in words coming from an american diplomat. because if the perception is, well, the president could undermine this by going through informal channels then it means what comes out of mouths of american diplomats up to and including secretary of state it will be seen as less valuable. so the short answer is, nothing good. >> well, the side mystery note we have to talk about is rudy giuliani. he's on some sort of mystery mission in ukraine. the president isn't talking about it. neither is giuliani. why of all times might he be in ukraine? what could be up? how does this look for president trump? >> i think it's a piece with the

broad strategy that the president and his team have adopted in the wake of the whistle-blower report is essentially leaning into it, to say, look, this is nothing wrong. and we're so confident that we've done nothing wrong and we're going to keep doing it. it's a novel strategy. and there's some reporting that came out over the last couple of days even with republicans being skeptical of its efficiency. judy is certainly going to be -- it's not entirely a mystery. you brought correspondents from one american news network which is a favorite of the white house with him. he's going to be making a documentary. so, partly, i think, it's to generate more interviews, more footage that support the president's theory of why he did nothing wrong. but i think fundamentally, it's a case of saying, look, i'm so confident that i did nothing wrong that i'm going to keep doing it. time will tell whether that's a good strategy. i personally don't think it will be. >> if the president is

impeached, how do you see it affecting the election? >> that's very difficult to say. >> yes. >> the standard depth of how the impeachment will go is that he'll be impeached before christmas. they'll hold a trial, a republican-held senate will vote to acquit him and he will walk away from the impeachment. that said, a lot of things have happened in ppolitics, both in the west and the uk that people didn't see coming. i think the equivalent is the most likely outcome. we don't know how that will play with others. we don't have a large number of impeachments in history to look at. only two that went to senate trial. richard nixon resigned before he got to even a house vote. we don't have a good set of data with that public performance or public perception of the president. we do know there's a fairly

durable if not small majority in favor of impeachment, demonstrated poll after poll, conducted by repeated pollsters but whether or not that's something that can move into a political damaging territory for the president. or if it suggests sort of reinforces the polarization of what we've seen over the course of this administration i think we don't really know yet. >> no, we don't. even though it seems americans are split on impeachment, many reportedly are dialed out of this, not duned i tuned in. we'll see if the process gets closer and closer to probable impeachment. whether that changes. we appreciate you joining us. thanks so much. >> thank you very much. well, in just days, british voters will head to the polls in what is being called the most important election in a generation. what's at stake, coming up, we look at where the candidates stands. plus, uber calls it a safety

box, the leaders of the uk's two largest parties went head to head one final time. cnn's anna stewart breaks down friday's debate. >> reporter: with less than a week to go before britons head to the polls to elect a new government this last head-to-head debate between the leaders create anticipation. however there were no knockout blows, in fact, the leaders have faced the same claims and attacks that they have in the recent week. whether it was trusted policy trust in politicians or that divisive topic brexit. >> nobody voted to lose their job or trade with europe. people voted for many, many reasons but i think we've got to come together and bring this issue to an end not go down the road with sweetheart deals with the usa. >> actually, what we should do is respect the will of the people, people that are trusted in politics, and look at the promises that were made,

repeatedly, by mr. corbyn and all of the other parties, they're refusing to do it. >> ahead of this debate, john major and tony blair spoke as an anti-brexit rally. and the current party leaders were asked their reaction. >> i have the utmost respect, of course, for all american leaders and anybody that was said as a has been. >> i vote for labor is to invest in this country so tony blair and john major are welcome to make the comments that they do. i urge them to think for a moment, think for a moment, what the reality of nine years of austerity has done to the country. >> conservative leader with six days left is a very longpolitic.

>> let's talk about it now, associate fellow with chatham house joins us quinton peel joins, also a top journalist. hi, quinton, good morning to you. all right. at this juncture are how ready or sick are voters of this process? we'll break down the candidates next, but talk about that first. >> well, i think voters are pretty fed up with the whole subject of brexit. and yet they know it's absolutely central. the thing is that boris johnson's slogan "get brexit done" which is pretty meaningless, but nonetheless, it's having an effect across the country. it's the one thing that people seem to be relating to. so even if they know that electing boris johnson won't get

brexit done, because this is going to drag on for months, if not years in negotiations, we will be out on january 31st, if boris johnson wins the majority. >> i want to ask you, how should the world be watching this, first the u.s.? what would a win by boris johnson, the conservative who wants to push brexit through, with what you just said, we might not see a brexit for ages, oh, my goodness, what would that mean to britain's future? >> well, britain outside the european union is undoubtedly going to be much more dependent on its relationship with the u.s. so those, in arguing for this process, have been really pushing to get a swift trade agreement with the u.s. and they say that's going to be a wonderful thing. the problem is, i'm not sure -- i think they're exaggerating the benefits. and they're also exaggerating

the speed with which you can do these things. we all know that trade negotiations are fantastically complex. you get every lobby group on the country, on both sides, trying to get their special interests taken into account. and you're not going to be able to do that where the british are negotiating at the one time with the whole of the european union, which is after all where 45% of their trade goes. and on the other hand, trying to do simultaneous negotiations with the u.s. i don't think it's going to work. >> and boris johnson chummy with president trump, many brits don't like mr. trump. and we'll see if that can have any kind of impact when they go to the polls. i don't know about that one. but i want to ask you about position labor party candidate jeremy corbyn now. he would hold a second referendum on brexit. he's been critical of nato.

if he came out how would that hold on the elections? >> he's undoubtedly a very skeptical politician as regards the entire transatlantic relationship. he's always been skeptical about the purposes of nato. he is fundamentally deep, britain still having nuclear arms and the trident nuclear missiles. so i think he would bevy are difficult person for the u.s. administration to deal with. having said that, the chances of him emerging with an outright majority are very, very small. if boris johnson doesn't win the majority, then the chances are we're going to have a hung parliament again. in which case, there will be some sort of coalition of interests to get this whole brexit exercise done. and we will drag on, i suspect, for months more. the labor party says they can do it all in six months, have

another refus another referendum. both the labor party are profoundly unrealistic about the process. >> enter the wildcard, a young female candidate, a liberal democrat, if she wins, she promises to cancel brexit. how about that chance? i'm not sure if she has a chance, but what if that were to happen? >> well, you know, it would actually be the simplest solution, just to say, we're not going to do it any longer. because i think throughout this process, it's been absolutely clear that trying to extricate yourself from a very integrated trading system, the single market that there is in europe, where we have no barriers, where we recognize all each other's standards across borders. so you have no cross-border checks and so on, all of that's got to go and be replaced by something else.

now, i think jo swensen's idea of saying we just revoke it and stop is brilliant, the problem is, it's not popular. because people say, we offered a referendum to leave, you just can't revoke it. and she's not somethinged to win th something to win that argument. we're back to remain or leave and desperately wanting the whole subject to go away. >> all right. we've got to go, but can you just wrap up in one sentence that defines where the uk is with all of this? >> it's in say complete muddle. we're are utterly divided. we don't flknow who is running e country. we're probably still going to have boris johnson who is a man deeply untrusted by voters to carry on as prime minister. it's not a happy situation.

attorney was in ukraine, apparently still looking for political dirt that would help mr. trump. the white house has been mum about giuliani's activities. uber calls it a safety report, but the new document confirms the extent of alleged incidents of sexual assault at the ridesharing company. cnn's senior investigative correspondent drew griffin has more about it. >> reporter: buried on page 59 of a polished long-anticipated report are the stunning numbers, 5,981 sexual assaults reported over two years. 464 of them rapes. uber emphasizing with millions of rides daily, the odds of attack are miniscule, but tony west uber's top officer for two years how admitting.

>> that'sa hardumber. sexual violence much more pervasive in society than most people realize. >> reporter: cnn sounded the alarm in 2018, in an investigation assaulting passengers. this woman was attacked by her uber driver in miami who was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the crime. >> the next morning, i woke up both my pants and underwear were on the floor. >> reporter: in a series of reports on uber assaults, cnn exposed the practice with a rideshare company sought to quietly settle sexual complaints in exchange for nondisclosure statements from victims uber changed the policy after our report no longer requiring victims to sign mbas. sources told us then there were many, many more.

uber's report confirms that. cnn also found that thousands of uber drivers had criminal records, one was even an accused war criminal. all as uber lobbied local governments against tougher rules for background checks. since cnn's investigation, uber added safety features to its app. says they have improved and tightened background checks and with this report is vowing to be more transparent on the safety of riding with uber. early estimates in 2019 show sexual assaults in uber continue, uber claims the rate is dropping. but based on its own recent statistics, every day someone is sexually assaulted taking an uber ride. >> uber simply couldn't ignore what was happening on its platform. and most importantly to then address it. >> reporter: uber is not the only ride share company with a problem. lyft also admits it's dealing with sexual assault. and has vowed to release its own

transparency report in the near future. drew giriffin, cnn, atlanta it. now, we turn to india and just a heinous crime to share with you. a rape survivor in northern india has now died of cardiac arrest after she was stabbed and set on fire on her way to court to testify against her alleged rapist. before she died, this 23-year-old woman was able to tell police that five men attacked her on thursday including the suspect she was preparing to testify against. police earlier reported that five men had been arrested. india has been plagued by an epidemic of violent sexual assault against women. but another case now has human rights activists calling for an investigation. that is because the four suspects in a high-profile rape and murder case, another

horrific case, were shot dead by police while until custody. cnn has more about this. >> reporter: this is what justice looks like to some, four men lie dead in a field in hyderabad, shot and killed by police. the men were accused of the horrific murder of a 27-year-old woman who was gang raped, strangled and then set on fire. the police commissioner said the suspects who were in custody at the time had been brought to the scene of the crime in search of evidence when -- >> reporter: the actions of police are being celebrated by many in this country who are outraged by the woman's murder.

huge crowds gathered at the scene, showering police with flowers to express their gratitude. >> translator: from now on, whenever someone even thinks of doing such a thing, they'll think ten times before actually doing it. >> i appeal to all indian police, follow -- >> reporter: the rape has caused widespread protests across india with many demonstrators demanding the death penalty for the men. sexual assault often goes unpunished in india. india's crime bureau says there are over 100 sexual assaults reported every day, but many of them are never resolved in court because the system is so backlogged. there are serious questions about action of police in this case, and they called for an independent investigation and some lawmakers are questioning whether police took the law into

their own hands. >> those people in any case, going to get hanging as a punishment for the heinousness of their crime. but you cannot kill people because you want to. >> translator: the country was rule of law. obviously we want justice done through the judicial process. >> reporter: for the victims' family, a sense of closure that the courts have never brought. >> translator: i would like to thank and congratulate the government, police and all those who have supported me. it is now that my daughter's soul must have gotten peace. next here, firefighters in australia continue to battle dozens of fires, the individual video we're about to show you is surreal. also, how about this story, she had no heartbeat for six

firefighters in australia are struggling to contain now more than 100 bush fires, raging across the country. right now, there's a massive fire burning outside of sydney. the firefighters say could take weeks to put out. in a moment, we'll show you what sydney looks like. the thick smoke from that fire has blanketed much of that city. and the sky over it has been turned orange and brown. journalist samantha brett of 7 news explains the challenges firefighters in new south wales face. >> reporter: you look on the map of where these bush fires are, and you can see right up and

down the coast of new south wales, from the north stretching all the way to the south. and we've had a couple of huge blazes in the past few weeks. unfortunately now, five of those fires have actually joined together we have what is calling a mega blithe that it spanning through hectors of land. it's going to be a tough week ahead for our firefighters. i've been with the firefighters all day today and really they're doing everything they can. they're back-burning the entire area here. the area i'm here call mura, the flames leaping into the air high as the trees out here behind me. i'm looking straight ahead, his home has been saved.

firefighters are doing everything they can. and they are doing an incredible job. the people in this area have told me as well, they've had meetings with the firefighters. three weeks ago, they said the firefighters said it's coming. let's brace ourselves. let's prepare as best as we can and they really have. of course, the people are always going to say the government can do more and try and blame someone. but we've had this incredible drought. you cannot predict high temperatures and high winds. and unfortunately, it's caused absolutely catastrophe here. but i know people are the ground they're just doing everything they can to protect lives and homes. unfortunately, six people have actually died in these bush fires this season alone. i've just got some statistics for you. 680 homes have been lost. but tonight, 2,000 firefighters are in the fields, as i mentioned, they're just doing simply everything that they can. >> and we wish them all the best of that effort. derek van dam is here to tell us

about the conditions that are stoking these fires. >> you know, i've seen it described on social media as a fire conglomerate, coming together to make this major blaze as she called it. just incredible. >> i've never heard that term before. >> just incredible what california would do this burn season. this is what sydney would look like on a regular day. let's say it's the middle of december, people flocking to this beautiful coastal town, city, i should say, beaches and this is what it looks like at this hour. thick smog that's choking the beautiful city. people should be preparing for the holidays not for another fire outbreak that they're contending with. the air quality index is forecast to get worse before it gets better. look at the forecast as we head into tuesday. that is because a cold front is approaching. that means a spike in the winds.

a spike in the temperature. and a lowering of the relative humidity so it's a recipe for disaster, before that cold front comes through. ultimately helping the conditions by wednesday. tuesday is our target day. look at the fires that spread along south wales and into queensland. this is definitely depleting or at least running thin the resources there. some of the latest imagery from nasa shows the plume of smoke, the aerosols coming from across the planet being picked up some south america. and if you want proof of that, check out this photo. it's actually daunting as you look at it. this is is a glacier, off the coast of australia. some of the ash has been deposited on the glacier here in new zealand. it's actually changed the color of the glacier to this red tint. not good, right? we don't like to see that. that cold front we mentioned a moment ago means wind gusts of

60 kilometers. and spiking temperatures on tuesday. cold front finally passes by wednesday, brings a bit of relief but it also changing the wind direction making things a lot more difficult for the firefighters trying to get ahead of the blazers. now, i wish i could bring some of the rainfall that we're contending with out west in the united states. this is bringing hefty rainfall totals in sonoma. remember, we had the kincade fire in sonoma county earlier this year. and heavy rainfall over burn scars means the potential for mudslides and landslides. >> thanks very much. as the cop-25 climate negotiations took place in madrid, u.s. climate sponsors our event, a film festival in paris and shows 60-second videos taken on phones. linda kynda kincade shows us.
