hello, and a very warm welcome to our viewers in the united states. i'm isa soares. new abduct shuns from 17 missionaries. lawmakers investigating the january 6th insurrection is on the move. china's economic growth is slowing down. the impact it's having on global markets.

>> reporter: the u.s. organization christian aid ministry says 16 americans and one canadian were kidnapped on saturday. five children among the group. we're told gang members stopped their vehicle at gun point. while in a statement christian and aid ministry said authorities are seeking ways to help find them. the kidnapping is the latest in the spike of lawlessness.

earlier we spoke about the spike in violence. >> the one involved in this incident, a very, very big gang that has branches throughout haiti. one of the biggest employers in haiti right now other than the government. all of the gangs put together are the second biggest employer in haiti. they have undercover relationships with political figures, political parties. this is not new in haiti but it's way worse than it's ever been. >> while cnn's melissa bell recently returned and is following this. she joins us live. good morning to you, melissa. what more do we know about this gang, 400 mawozo? >> it is one of the gangs you've been hearing so involved in the huge surge.

before this there was 629 kidnappings since january. this is a scourge in daily lives of patience. there's a 300% rise in kidnappings since the month of july. that was the month the haitian president was killed in his own bedroom. one interesting parallel to be made. with the kidnapping taking place back in april. a group of french missionaries kidnapped on april 11th and released at the end of the month. they praised the catholic church to try and compensate for the lack of security. it was that very kidnapping that led to such outrage.

we expect a strike and demonstration on the streets of port-au-prince. >> the authorities and the christian aid ministry, do they know the whereabouts of these 17 missionaries at all? >> reporter: for the time being, no word on where they might be. all we noah cording to the security force as you mentioned is the idea of the crew that is apparently behind the kidnappings. from the time being, we have no idea where they are. when diplomatic pressure was brought to bear and the catholic church got involved, that led to

their release. >> melissa bell. thank you very much. while officials in haiti are in touch with canadian authorities and the u.s. state department. they are sending a mission to locate that for you. >> reporter: a christian aid organization based in ohio confirming there were 16 americans and one canadiens. 17 in total missionaries abducted by a gang over the weekend. they were kidnapped leaving the orphanage. the u.s. government doesn't know the current location of the americans who have been kidnapped. they are working around the clock. state department officials, fbi officials to figure out where they are and how to secure their release. officially the state department said they are away wear of the

details not going further. they say do not travel. that is for all-americans. they suggest not to travel to haiti because of kidnappings. kit napgs in haiti have been on the rise in the last few months. since july they have risen 300%. that doesn't include this latest development over the weekend with these 16 americans kidnapped. kylie at wood, cnn, the state department. >> a catholic priest who spent six years working in haiti say the gangs are a danger for everyone. take a listen. >> the consequences are the people, they're not affecting

anybody. people are kidnapped. just last week, women and men who travel and the police are not able to face this whole situation because the gangs are more powerful. you pass in front of certain police stations, they look like sw swiss cheese. >> we'll continue to follow this story. a colombian businessman is set to be in court today. alex saab faces charges of money

laundering. now venezuela is retaliating going after a group of detained americans. we have more on the fate of the city citgo 6. >> reporter: they were imprisoned only hours after a businessman close to nicolas maduro was extradited to the united states. it was on, they were arrested in 2017 on caracas. they were working to get all six released told cnn that they're being held in prison in caracas, the capitol. this is the same prison where the former general is considered a political prisoner died tuesday of covid-19.

20 inmates have tested positive where the sit go six are now being held. e a family member recorded a video. they say this is nothing but a retalleyation move. he's close to maduro who expects to appear in court monday. he faces money laundering and native charges. why aren't they protesting his vilgs? it means if one of his closest

are thought to be there. family members of the city citgo six are talking with joe biden. they want to get their people, family, loved ones out of prison. part of their message they say to mr. biden, our loved ones situation is not your fault. you did not cause them to be arrested. prosecuted in closed doors and polite particular k4ri6 there. our loves ones are already being acceptable. we'll stay on top of the story. now the house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection is moving quickly to determine what role the white house played in the events leading up to the riots. several allies have been

subpoenaed to smith testimony. representative adam shift says this. >> we are going to be taking up a criminal contempt report. it will be taken up in the house of representatives. it will be sent to the justice department for prosecution. that is a far swifter, far more serious remedy. if they prosecute steve bannon they'll see they'll face jail time, swift fines and it's important to send a message that the rule of law is back and people are going to need to pay attention. >> the biggest a area is around

the president's conflict? one of the person's closest advisers. he was predicting all hell was going to break lose. he clearly has relevant information to share with the committee. we're going to make sure he does. >> some aren't ruling out the possibility of issuing a subpoena of trump himself. >> if we subpoena the former president, we know that's going to become a circus. that's not something we want to do up front. >> well, the house select committee are taking testimony. for the first time since leaving office former president donald trump will testify on monday. he will sit for a videotaped

deposition steaming him. last week a new york state judge has called him indispensable. because they are suing for punitive damages he'll likely ask him about his net worth. this is an area that's ongoing. trump has previously denied any alleged instant. monday's case l played to a

trial. coming up here on "cnn newsroom." former u.s. president bill cloin ton is out of the hospital. what doctors are saying. >> we'll have a live update from new delhi just ahead. so, i started listening to audible aboutwo years ago. a friendf mine recommended a book to me, and i got hooked really fast.

coming in leer tuesday evening. he went through iv aintibiotics treatment for a urinary tract infection that infected his bloodstream. it's very common for a man of his age. it could have been very dangerous. he is 75 years old and had previously years ago gone through bypass surgery though this situation this week we're told was unrelated to any heart problems and also unrelated to covid-19. the chair of the department of medicine said his fever and white blood count have returned to normal. on behalf of everyone at u.c.

irvine medical center, we were honored to have treated him and will continue to monitor his progress. back to you. now the u.s. is gaining ground in the fight against covid-19. the rate of new cases is improving. fewer foe kid cases are in hospitals and that is down from a month ago. the cdc says 57% of americans are now fully vaccinated. winter is of course on its way which means more people gathering as well plus a busy holiday season. dr. anthony fauci says we'll see another surge if people don't get vaccinated. >> we're going in the other direction. we still have approximately 66 million people whoever not continuing to come down in that

sleep will depend on getting more people vaccinated. you can enjoy the holidays, trick or treating, certainly thanksgiving and christmas with your families. that's why we emphasized why it's so important to get vaccinated. >> meanwhile, millions more americans could soon be eligible for a vaccine booster. they are scheduled to discuss the issue later this week. it comes after an fda panel recommended boosters for all adults. they should get an extra shot as soon as it's available to be fully protected. on sunday dr. fauci said boosters might be recommended for all of them. and in minnesota, a nurse's strike temporarily closed an emergency room at one hospital in plymouth after 50 nurses went on strike seeking fair pay and

benefits. the pandemic is hitting americans in their wallets. fueled labor shortages are creating a growing supply chain crisis. prices are going up, slowing down shipments and what stores can keep in stock. pete buttigieg said the backups will likely continue into next year. he made the comments this weekend. take a listen. >> demand is off the charts. retail sales are through the roof and if you think about those images of ships, for example, waiting at anchor on the west coast, every one of those ships is full of record amounts of goods that americans

are buying because demand is up and income is up because the president has successfully guided this out of the teeth of a recession. they're finding the overall build back better is designed to reduce inflation. if you care about inflation you ought to care about not just the supply chain or infrastructure, but also the provisions in build back better like paid family leave, like making it easier to afford child care and community college that are going to give us a stronger labor force. rescue operations are underway in india after deadly flooding. at least 22 people have been killed and five are missing after landslides triggered by rain.

what do we know? how many people are trapped? what's the latest on the rescue operation? >> reporter: the numbers are updated every minute, isa. what i can tell you is almost 6500 people have been evacuated from the worst hit areas. they have been heavily hit by the torrential rains and 184 relief camps have been set up. those being evacuated are through military choppers and boats and rocks. 22 people have been killed in two separate landslides and five are missing. rescue efforts are ramped up. we know it's been a huge loss to people and property. >> translator: it was my

livelihood. everything is gone. look, everything is gone. >> translator: the hill broke off. there has been a lot of damage and loss. the house is gone. children are gone. all that has happened. water entered our homes. that's when they moved us. >> reporter: the state is predominantly a coastal area in south india. we know in the months of may to september it receives a huge amount of rainfall, isa. this is happening in the month of october. experts have been saying that there has been a lot of organization and construction in the areas due to which these landslides have become more frequent, so have flash floods. the indian prime minister is talking to the state chief minister. this remains a worry. they're trying to provide food and medical amenities to the people who have been stranded. that's the latest update we

have. >> i believe i read more rain is coming. now i want to show you these images. experts are warning that one of the lava flows from the volcano is very close to reaching the atlantic ocean. the weather phenomenon la nina is here. we have the story. >> the pattern change takes place. it gives us a 90% chance of a la

nina pattern. broader picture, that translates to warmer, dryer weather for the winter months across the eastern half of the united states, especially in the southern portion of the united states. back towards the west, dryer weather persists. the predominant changes come in across the northwest and western midwest. in the midwest that translates to snowier conditions as you get much cooler air. when you take a look at the perspective, the warmer pockets of air are going to be expected across the southwest, northeast and northeastern parts of the united states.

if you put in warmer weather, fire weather is going to be an issue going into those months. the immediate term, there is a system coming through isa that will bring in wintry weather. showers across the states of california, oregon and washington. could be a potent storm system. could bring down decent amount of snow showers. for now 61 in salt lake city and highs around louisville. room temperatures, 72 degrees. isa? >> thank you very much, pedram. coming up on "cnn newsroom," a controversial steele dossier. he explains why he's speaking out now. the world's second largest economy posts the second largest growth rate and china's swift rebound is losing steam. both of those stories after a very short break.

welcome to "cnn newsroom." i'm isa soares. authorities in haiti says a powerful gang is behind the kidnapping of 17 missionaries, 16 americans and one canadian abducted on saturday. they're working to get the missionaries released. house committee members expected to see the role the

house played a role. christopher steele is giving an interview. he's speaking out now because the problems identified in 2016 are arguably getting worse. one of the reports never proven is that russia has a videotape with trump with women. >> do you think that tape exists? >> i think it probably does but i wouldn't put 100% certainty on it. >> how do you explain it hasn't been released if it exists? >> it hasn't needed to be released.

>> now a key witness from the first impeachment trial. joe wonders if there is a way to hold him accountable. we need accountability to deal with the crimes -- the criminal activity from the previous administration to be able to expose the big lie, the president's wrongdoing, expose the corruption of his proxies. if we do that, we can start chipping away at the big lie. we can start bringing this country back together and with that move ahead. without accountability, we can't do that. >> colonel vindman said he would

say president trump isn't above the law. now the taiwan strait remains a flash point between the u.s. and china. this time canada's getting involved. beijing is furious after reports that the u.s. and canada sent a warship into the strait last week. the people's liberation army says this threatens police and uncertainty. meantime, asian markets have been officials say it fwroed 1.5 3ers percent. this is a reaction from the stock markets. you can see why markets are reacting. the shanghai composite down.

the only standout is the hong kong hang seng. stock markets clearly somewhat disappointed with the gdp figures but perhaps expected given the challenges the country has faced post pandemic? >> it was expected. look, earlier today china announced a slowdown. that was a shorp slowdown from the 7.9 pest pest in the previous corners. it has weak playups. you have the ongoing record in

china. factories are postponing and suspending production and that causes a drop in industrial production. on top of that you have the ongoing evergrande debt crisis. they have $3.20 billion of debts. even before they have providing their growth. take a listen to this. >> i think the data have been facing head winds. i think the key long-term challenge is the housing market crackdown. >> that was brought up earlier today by the spokesperson of china's national bureau of

statistics. he acknowledged these challenges. insisted there are issues. >> there could be more evergrande daze. christi, what is the chinese government saying about the pdp messages. >> this is a question and will they is it likely there will be a revision of policy in the crackdown sector of housing? they say no. they see right now is the time to make painful but necessary adjustments for the economy.

even by doing so they will be on track. i want to have a quick check of the global stock markets. here in europe you can see a mixed morning right across the board with the only one in the green. they're gathering up for a strong amount. they're tending up with just a few hours. back to you. still to come right here on lee feud security concernsment we'll have more of that right here on "cnn newsroom."

it is a somber and reflective days in westminster. talk us through where we are on the investigation program. >> on the investigation front, the authorities here are saying they believe ali harbi ali acted alone. he was arrested under the u.k. terrorism attack. it means the authorities can keep him in custody until friday to question and then decide whether or not he is going to be charged. that investigation is moving forward. on the one hand it is a somber day. in the house of commons a tribute will be paid. there will be a procession to westminster abby and a church service there. there is a big debate about the safety of members of parliament which are called surgeries in the country. dominic rob, he was on several

british tv shows this morning. maybe we need to find a way forward to conduct these things to make them more safe. the big question is is there going to be less interaction with the public. is there going to be a higher amount of security at some of these events. he said, look, he doesn't want there to be any knee-jerk reactions. he doesn't want to have too fast conclusions. essentially what most of the politicians i'm seeing here in british media are saying, they believe a lot of this is going to be on a case-by-case basis. a lot of people are elected officials. they need to hear what their problems are and obviously they need to be kept safe as well. there could be solutions where there are additional security and maybe there's a little less interaction with the public. you have to keep the democratic process in the country upright and going. i think that's something you're

hearing from all sides of politics here in this country. at the same time as they need that security, they don't want things to change too much. at the same time it is a pretty pressing issue because you have had two murders of british members of parliament just in the span of five years. >> these mps value this and making sure they're safe. good to know, fred, whether mps will want that security. whether they feel that might get in the way. thank you very much, fred. we'll have much more after the break.
