1:00 am
hello and a very warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and right around the world. i'm isa soares in london. and just ahead right here on "cnn newsroom." >> is it a great danger to democracy and societies around the world to omit societal harm. >> do you think it's making hate worse? >> unquestionably it's making hate worse. >> facebook fury back after a torrent of leaked documents. this as the company reveals it made $29 billion in revenue in the last quarter. plus, the rough movie set
1:01 am
"rust" indefinitely, we're learning details about the morning before the crew member was shot dead and how it happened. happily ever after, but it's no fairytale in tokyo. we're live this hour. >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with isa soares. >> hello, everyone. it is tuesday, october 26. now, social media power house, facebook, has been able to weather many storms in the past, but the release of the so-called facebook papers may be the controversy to take some wind out of its sails. thousands of documents show it knew the international growth had spiraled dangerously out of control, but they forged ahead anyway. it appeared on uk, they were subject to hate speech and other
1:02 am
harmful content due to flaws in facebook's system. take a listen to what she had to say. >> i'm deeply concerned about their under investment in non-english languages and how they mislead the public that they are supporting them so facebook says things like, we support 50 languages when in reality most of those languages get a tiny fraction of the safety systems english gets. >> she refield facebook's inability to report facebook's issues in the company related to national security as well as public safety. she was told to accept the under staffing. but as she testified on monday, the safety of others wasn't one thing she was going to compromise on. >> i think there is a view inside the company that safety is a cost, cost center. it's not a growth center which i think is short-term in thinking. facebook's own research has shown when people have worse integrity experiences on the site they are less likely to retain. regulation could actually be good for facebook's long-term
1:03 am
success because it would force facebook back into a place where it was more pleasant to be on facebook. i have no doubt like the chats we're seeing around the world, myanmar, ethiopia are opening chapters. if facebook says only a tiny sliver of content on our platform is hate, only a small amount small. it's 5% of the population, you need 3% on the street to have a revolution. >> anna stewart joins me on set. these facebook papers are explosive. tell us what mark zuckerberg says. >> it refutes claims they put profits before safety. mark zuckerberg was very clear to refute any of these very serious allegations. here's what he said. >> good criticism helps us get
1:04 am
be better. what my view is what we are seeing is selective false documents to paint a false picture of our company. in reality we have an open culture where we have open discussion about research on issues that are not specific to just us. >> so, a focus of zuckerberg on the freedom of speech. saying later in the statement he has repeatedly called for regulation he doesn't think that companies like facebook should be the ones to police it. he wants regulation. he wants someone else to do it. that was that reaction. >> well, were we expecting more revelations in the coming days? it's not day one, day two of revelation, we are expecting many more. i think this won't be the last time we're hearing from mark zuckerberg. very interesting, he spoke as earnings came out yesterday and share prices have been upbeat from what they heard. >> we are looking at perhaps the biggest crisis facebook has ever experienced and look at the
1:05 am
share price, because those earnings were pretty strong. profits came in at over $9 billion the third quarter. that was up 17% on the year. we're talking about growth across all their platforms. they are putting focus on instagram wheels to compete with tiktok. med i verse, ar, they're seeing a lot of growth. if we look at the share price over the year or reaction post earnings, you can see yes, regulation may loom in facebook's future. right now investors see a company that is just growing at a healthy clip. >> they don't seem to be worried at all. in fact, like you said, anna, the growth, the growth base, its user base has actually increased. look at the facebook share price, up more than 1.20%. >> as we get more from the papers, we can see volatility on the price rea. if we look at what the eu is saying, the uk, congress, she's
1:06 am
invited to eu's parliament as well. it will loom, but it will be looming across the whole segment of social media. facebook has a whole eco it lives off. >> it hasn't dented any investor sentiment. we shall see whether that changes. anna stewart, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> democrat klobuchar says transparency is needed to protect privacy. take a listen to what she had to say. >> there is a difference between someone, let's say, in a crowded movie theater yelling "fire." that is not free speech. that is not protected speech. this is the trick of their all goh rhythms. it would be like a multiplex theater and broadcast it. they would be liable for that. you've gott algorithms we need o have transparency and we need to make sure researchers can access
1:07 am
them. and then we have to look at the liability provisions for that. second big bucket of things, privacy laws. the fact that we don't have a federal privacy law has very much hindered us and it's one of the reasons facebook and other platforms make so much money off americans compared to other countries because there is no rules of the road for privacy. and finally, what was -- i know has been the subject before of some discussions with you and me and others, competition policy, and trying to allow the market place to develop alternatives with new bells and whistles. we're never going to know what those bells and whistles are when in the words of mark zuckerberg in an email, he would rather buy than compete. >> well, all important suggestions there, and key points being made. but is the u.s. really ready for those changes? jonathan greenblatt of the antidefamation league posted this on facebook. i'll read it out for you. i don't think a single company has ever been responsible for so
1:08 am
much misfortune. advertisers from fortune 500 companies and small businesses need to ask themselves, do they want to continue to invest in a platform that is knowingly pushing out misinformation and hate? that seems to divide more than convene. we'll stay on top of that story for you, of course, as we get more on facebook papers and keep an eye on the share price. now to new developments in the deadly movie set tragedy. the gun alec baldwin fired killing cinematographer halyna hutchins was used with live practice earlier the day. it happened during down time. cnn spoke to its c.e.o. take a listen. >> that alec baldwin used to tragically shoot halyna hutchins had been used in target practice. they have a lot of down time onsets. you probably know this. there is this pass time that crew members sometimes do is
1:09 am
plinking. they go out and shoot at cans. this is live ammunition. this happened the morning of the day before halyna hutchins was killed in the early afternoon. what happened between the time the guns came back with live ammunition in them? they should have been checked obviously. there has been a lot of information in the search warrants that have been filed about what happened to the guns and there was a break for a few minutes for lunch, and then they came back. and was the gun checked again, unclear, before they called what he said, cold gun. meaning it could not fire anything. and it was handed to alec baldwin. and then he discharged it. but the more concerning it really is. and while there is no bringing back halyna hutchins and alec baldwin has to live with what he tragically accidentally did, there is a real concern over liability and whether corners were cut and whether the camera
1:10 am
crew that walked off in the morning was replaced by non-union workers. were the people who were being replaced as experienced, as knowledgeable and as careful as the people who were there beforehand? >> well, cnn has not been able to confirm this reporting. producers for baldwin for "rust" say they were not aware of any official complaints concerning gun safety on set. they will continue to cooperate with authorities in hutchins' death. meantime attention is turning to dave halls, the director of the film. josh campbell reports. >> reporter: we are learning new details about the person who handed alec baldwin the prop gun on the day of the fatal shooting here in santa fe. assistant director dave halls who was on set that day had been involved in another incident two years ago involving the accidental discharge of a weapon on a set that resulted in an employee recoiling from that weapon unexpectedly taken off. the person was taken away by a
1:11 am
medic but brought back. halls was discharged and ultimately dismissed. we reached out to halls for comment, but have not received a response. we are learning new details surrounding the fatal shooting itself here in santa fe. according to a search warrant affidavit from the sheriff's department, we are told alec baldwin is practicing a cross draw rehearsal where a person pulls a weapon across their body when the fatal shot rings out. the question remains what was inside the weapon. i spoke to the sheriff's department. they are awaiting a final determination about what kind of projectile came from the gun. and the question of liability. who will be held responsible if anyone. the district attorney tells us there are no new updates. the investigation continues. we are waiting to see if there will be any charges filed in this case. josh campbell, cnn, santa fe, new mexico. u.s. democrats are still governing the agenda for biden
1:12 am
before he heads to the cop-26 summit. take a listen. >> do you want a deal by the time you leave for cop? >> yes. >> something you expressed to democrats? >> that's my hope. >> well, senator joe manchin has insisted the cost of the social safety net package coming down to $1.5 trillion from 3.5 trillion, he had concerns about medicare and clean electricity to protect the state's coal industry. despite the differences, manchin is optimistic an agreement can be reached. >> do you think a framework could be? >> should be. >> is 1.75 too much? >> i said 1.5, guys. >> no matter the final price tag, president biden insists his plan will not lead to more debt. >> these bills are not about left versus right or moderate versus progressive or anything
1:13 am
that pits one american against another. these bills are about competitiveness versus complacency. you hear these numbers, 3.5 trillion or 1.75 trillion. we pay for it all. it doesn't increase the deficit one single cent. >> well, cnn's kaitlan collins explains why the timing to get this legislation passed is so important to president biden. >> reporter: well, it's a critical week for president biden because he is set to leave on they trip overseas on thursday. he is hoping to get an agreement on this social spending and climate change bill by then because not only does he want to have the climate change provisions in hand when he attends that major climate summit in glasgow, he also wants to have this agreement done and over with given the momentum that you've seen among democrats actually reach a deal over the last several days. since we know negotiations have been stalled for the last several weeks, and still they have a few sticking points that are major ones that they have
1:14 am
not come to an agreement yet. and one of those, of course, is just the price tag for this bill with west virginia senator joe manchin saying yes, he is still at 1.5 trillion. when president biden was speaking in new jersey earlier on monday, he said the number really doesn't matter because democrats do still want to pay for the entire bill, which has been a main talking point that they've had. though of course we now know how they are going to pay for it is a sticking point after the arizona senator kyrsten sinema said she won't support raising taxes on corporations and high earners. there are sticking points including paid leave which we know has been whittled down from 12 weekends to four weeks. they are still deciding whether four weeks will make it in the bill. also the claim by senator bernie sanders who wants to expand medicare coverage to include dental, vision and hearing. that is another big concern that senator manchin who is one of those key centrist hold outs says he has. the other concern here, of course, is the timing of all this because they do feel like
1:15 am
they're going to get to a framework potentially this week. but ahead of the progressive caucus in the house, congresswoman jayapal said she wants the votes between this bill they are working on the framework of and the infrastructure bill to be back to back. not to get that infrastructure bill passed this week and maybe come to an agreement once they've seen the text of the other bill later on, she wants them to be hand in hand, which, of course, had been the democrats' plan all along. it changed later on. whether or not that remains to be seen and whether or not the white house supports that is to be determined. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. thanks, kaitlan. well, the biden white house is once again rejecting claims of executive privilege by donald trump. the former u.s. president is trying to deep documents in the national archives away from the committee investigating the january 6 capitol riot. they tried to stop the request for documents. the national archives is scheduled to turn over the material next month unless a court intervenes.
1:16 am
now, the governors of new york and new jersey have declared states of emergency ahead of a powerful northeastern storm. thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected across the east coast today, potentially causing flash floods. meteorologist pedram javaheri has the latest forecast. pedram. >> good morning, isa. a lot of people on alert across portions of the northeast. of course, we saw what remnants of ida and tropical system henri. it is tuesday morning here. as you'll notice what was left of the california storm from late last week migrated across the united states. lots of weather to the midwest and now the eastern coast line so northern and northeasterly wind here is really going to be the primary concern with the storm. isa, we could see winds up to 60, maybe 70 miles per hour into coastal areas of new england. that's a major concern moving forward with this. of course, plenty of foliage

million of aid following the take over. cnn has more on the political crisis. >> reporter: sudan once again forced to a crossroads. one month after a failed coup attempt, the military arrested prime minister on monday. along with other civilian members of the transitional government, bearing all the hallmarks of military takeover, a coup. since the toppling of long-serving ruler in 2019, military and civilian groups have been sharing power in the northeast african nation, intending to lead eventually to democratic elections in 2023. the transition has seen sudan emerge from international isolation under bashir's nearly three-decade rule. that democratic experiment now hangs in the balance. via a televised address, the head of armed forces, the jen who is also the head of the
1:24 am
transitional sovereign council announced the military has dissolved the government and declared a state of emergency. >> translator: the stress here of the armed forces intend to complete the democratic transition until the country is handed over to a leader. >> reporter: he appeared to be surrounded by armed forces on monday. according to the information ministry, apparently still loyal to the country's erstwhile civilian rulers, he was told to release a statement in support of the takeover. but instead called for the people to take to the streets in protest. tens of thousands demonstrated, burning tires and barricading roads. one eyewitness told cnn three key bridges had been blocked by protesters in the capital, and the crowd could be heard chanting, "the people are stronger and going back is impossible."
1:25 am
>> translator: what the military is doing now is a big betrayal to all the citizens on all levels. now it is important that every individual sudanese citizen acts and take to the streets to not let any armed vehicle move. >> reporter: military forces stormed sedan state broadcaster and detained staff, according to the information ministry, which also said live bullets were fired at protesters outside sudan's army jgeneral command. they are partly responsible for a 2019 call to action. saying, quote, we urge the masses to go out on the streets to occupy them. close all roads with barricades. stage a general labor strike and not to cooperate and use civil disobedience to confront them. flights from the international airport have been suspended and the internet and mobile phone network have been severely disrupted.
1:26 am

welcome to "cnn newsroom." i'm isa soares. if you're just joining us, we'll bring you up to date with the top stories this hour. facebook's mark zuckerberg is firing back after leaked documents and said the social media giant works for profit and not public safety. he said it paints a false picture of the company. we'll follow it and bring more throughout the day. an hour before a crew member at a movie set, the gun alec baldwin used accidentally killing halyna hutchins was used for target practice with live ammunition earlier that day.
1:31 am
cnn has not confirmed this report and we'll have much more on both these stories in roughly 30 minutes' time. now, safety measures on film sets can make the difference between life and death. we asked a weapons safety specialist to highlight some of the best practices and rules for handling a weapon on the film set. here's cnn's gary tuchman. >> 2, 1. >> reporter: larry zanoff is a reknowned motion picture armourer in the motion industry. >> we have the white background because we're going to show this is going to make a lot of noise, but there's going to be no residue and no cups knocked over because this is not a live bullet. >> exactly, it is a blank cartridge. i'll give you a count down here. 3, 2, 1. >> reporter: no residue, no cups. created the ill ustian that you wanted in hollywood without the bullet coming out.
1:32 am
>> correct. >> reporter: the prop house is north of los angeles. props they say includes north america's largest private armory. safety in the industry starts with a lockbox for weapons. >> the gun we're going to use is inside here. this is a single-action revolver. you can see that at the moment it's empty. >> reporter: and you keep turning it so we're sure it's empty. >> so, i show you this particular one has six cylinders. i will always click it over seven times just to make sure we didn't miss anything and that you're comfortable with the fact that it is, in fact, an empty firearm. >> reporter: i'm comfortable. >> wonderful. >> reporter: this is empty. >> you can see there's no bullet. >> reporter: no bullet or projectile? >> no bullet or projectile. this is called a modern theatrical blank. >> reporter: what looks like a typical bullet is sometimes used, for example, a tight shot of a gun being loaded in a movie
1:33 am
or tv show. under safety regulations such a bullet -- is a dummy cartridge? >> empty shell case, no gun powder in it, totally inert primer. it can't go bang. there is a projectile on the end of it, but you can see there is' a beebee. it means that cannot go bang. >> reporter: there are many other mandated precautions. >> so we have our single-action revolver. we have our blank cartridge. you can see there's no projectile. i've measured out 20 feet which is the minimum safety distance on a film set. we have a target there. i'm going to load up the blank into the gun and i'm going to announce that the gun is hot. so, hot gun on set. >> reporter: and it's a hot gun when there is something in the gun, in the chambers, that will go bang. >> correct. if the gun is going to go bang, it's a hot gun. if it's empty and can't go bang, it's a cold gun. we're going to go 3, 2, 1 is.
1:34 am
i'm going to unload the gun now. presumably they've yelled cut. and then i make as the armour of the announcement, cold weapon on set. cold weapon on set. >> reporter: i asked the armourer what if someone walks in front of the person with a blank. could you be seriously hurt? >> as you can see there is some smoke and flame coming out. you might feel the effect of it a little, but there's no projectile. >> reporter: that's good to know. >> counting down. 3, 2, 1. >> reporter: gary tuchman, cnn, los angeles. now, the u.s. could soon be one step closer to vaccinating younger children against covid-19. fda adviser will meet later today whether to green light for children as young as 5. if approved, the shots could be available by early november.

[ speaking foreign language ] >> a lparliamentary commission blamed president bolsonaro directly as well as other charges for reckless leadership. the explosive report says bolsonaro was guided by an unfounded belief in the theory of herd immunity, bilateral infection.

[ speaking foreign language ] >> who lost both her parents to covid-19. [ speaking foreign language ] >> now an orphan, she's become a mother to 11-year-old sister. a tragedy she blames on the bolsonaro government. [ speaking foreign language ] >> still, the president says he's not to blame, and continues to refuse to be vaccinated. to the victims' families, it feels like rubbing salt on their already deep wounds. an unimaginable grief that even time can't heal. stay on top of that story as
