. welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world, this is cnn newsroom. setbacks and dplas about the u.s. president who finally gets his $1 trillion bill on infrastructure. europe's migrant crisis, refugees forced to take a deadly journey at sea in hopes of finding a better life. a call for an immediate cease-fire, the u.n. and others raise concerns about the humanitarian catastrophe

unfolding in ethiopia. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom," with kim brun huber. >> we're following breaking news out of houston, texas, at least eight people have died at the astro world music festival. at this hour we don't know what caused the deaths. scores of others were injured. more than 300 people were treated at a field hospital near the festival. at least 23 people were transported to hospitals. one of them 10 years old. at least 11 of those taken to hospitals were in cardiac arrest. authorities say about 50,000 people attended and the crowd surged toward the stage shortly after 9:00 p.m. local time. the fire chief described what unfolded as a mass casualty incident. >> the crowd began to compress towards the front of the stage, okay. and that caused some panic and

it started causing some injuries. people began to fall out. become unconscious. and it created additional panic. >> organizers say the second night of the festival has been cancelled. do stay with cnn as we follow this breaking story and we'll have much more at the top of the hour on new day. u.s. president joe biden finally as one pillar of his sweeping domestic agenda in place. he scored a major win in congress with final passage of his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. >> on this vote the yays are 228 and the nays are 206. the motion is adopted. >> getting the bill through the house was an uphill struggle and passage was uncertain shortly before the vote was held but late night arm twisting by the president got enough democrats on board to make it happen. after the vote the president released this statement, touting a i chief. it reads in part the bill will create millions of jobs, turn the climate crisis into an

opportunity and put us on a path to win the economic competition for the 21st century. cnn's jessica dean has the details on how the infrastructure vote finally came together. >> reporter: big news out of the u.s. house of representatives tonight as the bipartisan infrastructure bill makes it out of the house and is now headed to president biden's desk for his signature. so a major part of his legislative agenda getting done. house democrats getting that done with 13 house republicans joining them in that vote. we did see six progressives who voted against this, but the bottom line is, the bipartisan infrastructure bill will now become law and it's a big victory for president biden who was really hoping and had to end up calling and trying to push this over the finish line multiple times but really, today, when it really came down to it, we started the day, expected morning votes and something that would be rather

quick. it did not turn out that way. just hours and hours of negotiations kind of dragging on as various factions of the party wanted different things. a handful of house moderates holding out for a cbo score on the build back better act and then the congressional black caucus offering a compromise idea to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a procedural vote on the build back better act while progressives balked at that at the beginning but in the end everyone came around with moderates offering up a statement to commit to vote by november 18th the and chairwoman of the progressives saying the bulk of them would vote for this which is what ended up happening which is how they were able to get to those magic numbers and get this bill to president biden. that heads to his desk to become law. as for the build back better act it has topaz the house and then goes to the senate. we'll expect a ton of changes to be made. we know a number of senators,

not just limited to them, also senator bernie sanders and others want changes made to this. expect that to be also a long drawn out process before it makes its way back to the house side. jessica dean, cnn, capitol hill. >> and the chairwoman of the democrats' progressive caucus is defending the strategy of linking the infrastructure bill with the social spending plan. listen to this. >> we made the determination that getting a commitment to this larger package, frankly, was absolutely important that we wanted to make sure we had the votes for immigration, for pharmaceutical drug pricing, for paid leave, all the things that are in this package and we also made the determination that the country needs to continue to move forward and so we feel like we got the best of all worlds. we got a commitment on this vote, which -- and every single one of those individuals looked us in the eyes and said they are

voting for it. >> only 13 house republicans broke ranks with their party to vote for the infrastructure plan. don bacon explains why he was one of them. >> it got conflated with the other bill and, you know, both sides did it. the progressives said they're linked together and then our side embraced it. it was wrong in my view. i think the hard infrastructure bill, i thought it was good for our district. it's not a perfect bill. if i was writing it i would have made it better myself but in the end it was good for the country and i've got to follow my conscience and i committed to do it back in march and april. i thought it was an easy bill in august when it passed the senate and for some reason we wanted to make it harder and it shouldn't have been. >> let's take a closer look at what's in the bipartisan infrastructure bill. it comes with a $1.2 trillion

price tag. for fixing roads and bridges, and $66 billion to overhaul passenger and freight rail. water frurt, and $65 billion on improving broad band internet access. natasha linstat teaches political science. let's start with the substance. how important is this bill to the country. how will americans benefit and when will they likely see a payoff? >> it's incredibly important just because there's decaying infrastructure. i mean, there's all kinds of problems with our bridges, which is dangerous, at our ports which are unsafe and we need to invest in our public transit system and our water pipes, broadband and so forth. but originally this bill was called the american jobs plan. and i think that would be another added benefit of it and i think that's another reason

why it can be so popular and it will be so popular is because it is going to create a lot of jobs and it's about tackling things that are long overdue. it's no wonder it was already very popular in congress. it just got delayed because of the combining of this bill with the social safety net bill. >> yeah, we'll get to some of that sausage making later. but just for joe biden, how big of a win is this for a president who's trying to grapple with the pandemic and inflation, the economy, not to mention those declining approval ratings? >> well, this is incredibly important because he ran on this platform that he was going to get things done, and that government can work for the american people. and even though he had some big wins with the initial american rescues plan act where poverty rates were halved, 4.1 million jobs were created and growth rates in the second quarter were

6.5% and over 200 million vaccines were distributed. he was just getting absolutely hit hard in the ratings. he had an approval rating of about 43%. it had really plummeted from around 60% when he first took office. all the things he had been doing well were not getting noticed. >> as we mentioned, they punted on that massive, almost $2 trillion social spending plan. its fate is up in the air right now. what do you think is going to happen? is it going to get passed as well eventually? it will get passed in the house because moderate democrats agreed they were willing to do it as long as it went through the congressional budget office with a clear estimate on the economic impact, the impact on taxes and individuals, with a little bit more transparency they were willing to support it but what will eventually happen if it gets to the senate, i mean, that's where there's going to be real problems of getting this bill to look like anything of which joe biden and let's say

the more progressive democrats had envisioned. it's going to get watered down considerably because there's all kinds of things that people are unhappy with at the moment. so i do think it's going to go through. but it's not going to take the original form that i think people had intended. >> we'll have to leave it there. natasha, thank you so much, really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. a witness testified friday that a man kyle rittenhouse shot and killed last year during protests in wisconsin was asking to be shot. a former marine described the man as acting, quote, very belligerently but he didn't think he was a threat. the man's fee nun say testified friday. she described visiting the scene after her boyfriend had been shot and collapsing when she saw his blood on the ground. the prosecution could rest its case as early as next week. it's still not clear if rittenhouse will take the stand. in skgeorgia, an emotional y

in court as the murder trial of three white men accused of killing arbery. jurors were shown body camera footage. he was tracked down by the men, cornered and fatally shot based on assumptions. arbery's mother broke down in tears watching the scene unfold. she says it was the first time she saw the video. a defense attorney for gregory and travis michael say they were trying to conduct a citizens arrest, saying travis shot arbery in self-defense. the trial will resume monday morning. now to ethiopia where the military is calling on veterans to rejoin the army and defend against advancing rebel forces after nine opposition groups formed an alliance aimed at removing the prime minister from power. david mckenzie is following the story. the fact the defense forces are calling on veterans to rejoin the army, it seems like a desperate move. what's the latest? >> reporter: i don't know if i can call it desperate yet but it certainly shows how seriously the government is taking this,

and there is a disconnect now between the words and the actions of the ethiopian government. they're saying there shouldn't be alarmism about the deepening crisis in ethiopia yet they've done this, calling on anyone under 55 to voluntarily, if they are veterans, join the military and they're putting in emergency measures that can create conscription. the question was put to the attorney general, if it isn't a serious situation as they say then why are they doing it? >> the government is still taking some precautionary measures. we have credible intelligence indicating that the tplf might try to orchestrate some sort of havoc, not only addis but other parts of the country as well. so taking into account this kind of information. >> reporter: the tplf is the

political group based in tigray, the region that's seen conflict for more than a year now, kim, they have moved substantially out of the normal area of operations and at least symbolically threatening ethiopia's capital. kim? >> so, david, the situation is fluid. obviously so many unknowables. but what's your sense of what might happen next? >> reporter: it's very hard to tell. a lot about this conflict has surprised people. when prime minister abiy said it would be a swift military campaign in the north many people were skeptical of that, but then the ethiopian military did, in fact, push out the tigrayan military and militia forces after a relatively short time. they then came back and retook the capital in nidmidthis year. it's anyone's guess. also, there is a difficulty to get concrete information on

where the front lines are. the government is saying they are engaging the tplf, some several hundred kilometers away from the capital. but the fact that they have managed to break away from the area of operations, and you do have this political formation that was announced in washington, d.c. if not militarily, certainly politically, the prime minister is under a huge amount of pressure, and some analysts believe his room for maneuver is diminishing. >> we'll keep following this story. david mckenzie, thank you so much. german authorities reportedly believe diplomat found dead outside an embassy in berlin was a secret agent for russia's fsb intelligence service. according to their magazine the 35-year-old fell from an upper story of the russian embassy building. how he fell still isn't clear. the russian embassy didn't agree to an autopsy and the man's diplomatic immunity meant that germany couldn't carry out an

investigation. >> i can say that the german foreign ministry is aware, but for privacy reasons i can't get nif further details about the case. >> the russian embassy released a statement friday saying the diplomat ice death was a tragic accident and the speculation by the western media incident is, quote, absolutely incorrect. still ahead, we take a closer look at europe's migrant crisis as asylum seekers are reportedly pushed back to sea once they reach the greek border. plus, no signs of subsiding. as some european countries see record numbers of new covid cases. going live to london to see what's being done to stop that. coming up, stay with us. hi sabrina! hi jen! hi. so you're the scientist here. i just have to ask. does my aveeno® daily moisturizer really make my dry skin healthier in one day? it's true jen. really?! this nourishing prebiotic oat formula moisturizes to help prevent dry skin. one day? for real!

pakistan. europe's broken asylum system has forced many desperate refugees to make a dangerous, sometimes deadly journey at sea and now some are at the growing center of tensions between turkey and greece. the greek foreign minister promises to investigate allegations that its coast guard is illegally pushing back migrants at the border. cnn's arwa damon reports. >> reporter: a dinghie is floating helplessly in the growing darkness. >> it's right there. looks like it's getting completely hammered by the waves. >> reporter: the turkish coast guard speeds out. this is nothing new for the turks. more like a routine who's intensity has varied over the years with the various waves of refugees and migrants trying to reach european soil. >> it looks like there are children on board. >> reporter: as we approach we can see the waves battering and rolling over the sides of the

flimsy boat. can you see that? they're bailing water out of the back? the turks were notified by the greeks by a fax of the dinghies edinghies' location. greece continues to vehemently deny this. blaming criminal gangs and human traffickers for trying to enter europe but the practice has been extensively reported on by media and rights groups and recently led to a call for an investigation by a senior eu official. there are about 12 people just smushed into that dinghie including a small child. how terrifying. and how desperate they must have been to even try this. especially now when the chances of success are so much less than they were before. much of it is spurred by a rise in anti-refugee sentiment. greece doesn't want them and ultimately.

neither does the rest of europe. pushing people back out to sea would be a violation of international law. even if these people had a legitimate case for asylum it most likely will not be heard. the family with the baby who was just five months old is somali. mohammed says the greeks beat them and knocked him into the water. we requested a response from greece on this specific incident, provided the coordinates from the fax they sent to the turks but received no reply. >> take over the boat. >> reporter: he worked construction in somalia with a football player and district team manager. he says the chair group -- accused him of working with the government. >> okay, i kill you. >> reporter: turkey is rescuing them out of the water but president erdogan says turkey

watching us here in the united states. canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhubber, this is cnn newsroom. a major piece of u.s. president joe biden's agenda has finally passed. we're going to show you here some live pictures, i believe, of capitol hill. there it is, where just a few hours ago the house approved a

$1.2 trillion infrastructure bill giving biden a major and much needed win. cnn's jessica dean spoke to our phil mattingly right after the legislation passed. >> reporter: these various sides were really at odds with each other and the trust at issue has been something we've come back to again and again as this has moved through both the senate and also the house, and all of the various machinations. you have to think that with them moving forward and progressives buying in, moderates giving them what most of them found acceptable, we did see as i mentioned some progressive democrats voting against this, a handful of them. but you have to think that this is a way forward and now they turn their eyes, of course, to the build back better act, which those moderates have committed to voting on by november 15th. and they're waiting on that cbo score, that's going to take some time to get back but that's certainly what progressives want to see and you can bet that's

what house speaker nancy pelosi and house leadership wants to see. i mean, phil, they were in and out all day. people in and out of their office. we waited outside her office for hours today and saw various members, various caucuses going in, to really plead their case and really trying to thread the needle from all of these various pieces of the democratic caucus. so of course they're hoping that they can now move forward and get the second part of president biden's agenda passed. >> early in the day president biden got some welcome news in the latest u.s. jobs report, more than half a million jobs were added in october. and the unemployment rate fell to levels not seen in a year and a half. cnn's chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins filed this report before the house passed the infrastructure bill. >> reporter: well, amid all the democratic infighting on capitol hill president biden did get some good news on friday when the labor department released its october jobs report. revealing that the u.s. economy had added 531,000 jobs that

month. of course the highest number that the economy has seen in several months and it also came with some revisions for those jobs report in september and august, and of course those were months that had been especially low, many believed due to the coronavirus pandemic but they have actually been revised upward by about 200,000. bringing that average up and delivering more good news for this white house that's trying to dig its way out of this post-pandemic economy, something that president biden made clear in his remarks on the jobs report, not only tying it to that economic agenda that he is trying to get passed through capitol hill, but also the american rescue plan that he passed earlier this year, saying it is proof that that is working, and also proof that the u.s. is picking its way out of the latest coronavirus surge. of course the delta variant, which had been hitting incredibly hard in september as white house officials were saying they were confident it would bounce back and they are not overfocusing on any one month in the jobs report but looking at the broader picture. in jobs report showed the

unemployment rate dropped to 6.4%. much further from the 6% level we had been seeing previously. it showed the labor participation rate did not change much. it was essentially flat from september to october. that is a number that, of course, employers are watching closely, hopefully that is a number that picks up. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. >> on the pandemic front, there's been some encouraging news about an anti-covid pill developed by pfizer, the company says interim results of a trial showed the drug was 89% effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths. unlike the vaccine, the pill would be given to people who are already infected and they would take it at home. it would be taken in combination with another anti-viral. pfizer says it will apply for emergency use authorization in the u.s., possibly as early as this month. a massive covid surge in europe isn't expected to get better anytime soon. the region's cdc says

infections, hospitalizations, and deaths will rise for at least two more weeks. the latest hot spot is hungary which reported more than 6,800 new cases friday, that's more than double the number from the middle of last week. five other countries have reported record numbers of new cases this week. so more on that, let's bring in anna bashir who joins us from london. urgent warnings coming from europe. what are leaders proposing to get a handle on this? >> reporter: that's right, kim, the alarm bells are really being sounded by the world health organization, warning that europe is now once again at the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic with projections of both cases and deaths expected to rise over the next few weeks and a stark warning from the w.h.o. that we could see something like half a million deaths between now and the beginning of february in europe and central asia. so some stark warnings there from the health authorities and leaders are under pressure now to really tackle and stem the spread of this virus as we head

into the winter months. some health experts have warned what's being described as a twin demic governments having to deal with the spreading virus and the seasonal flu which has long put strain on health care centers across the continent, including here in the uk. there's a real sense of urgency now to get this under control and the world health organization has highlighted two key areas of concern. the first being an uneven uptick of the coronavirus and vaccines, some parts of the continent have had relative success getting people to go out and get the jab. but other parts of the continue tent, including eastern europe are really struggling still against vaccine hesitancy. there's a sense of concern that if people aren't getting the jab they could see a major surge over the winter months as we are seeing now in large swaths across europe. but the second area of concern that the world health organization has highlighted are the national policies, they are calling on world leaders and european leaders to take a look

at their own legislation and consider whether or not they ought to be bringing back into place these restrictive measures we've seen in the past during the pandemic, including mandatory mask wearing, social distancing. we've even seen some countries bring into force another lockdown. there are measures there that leaders are considering to tackle the spread. we know in the uk, for example, there's a plan "b" that the government has touted, bringing back into force those stricter measures to stem the spread of the virus, although they've resisted from doing that so far. but there is some real sense of concern now that we've seen rising cases and this could spiral out of control. we've seen record numbers in countries including germany, greece and slovakia and we've seen the health care sectors across europe fall under the pressure before and there's a real worry now we might not be able to deal with this level of pressure, considering that we've got the new delta variant on our hands. so there is a real sense of concern, real sense of pressure, but not a lot of time, kim. >> yeah, absolutely. and more pressure to get more people vaccinated.

nadu baashir, thank you so much. a doctor is an internal medical physician, and the founder of end well project.org. she joins me from san francisco. thanks for being here with us. so just from what we just saw there in europe, which is now being described as the epicenter of the epidemic. we're seeing cases rising quickly even in countries like germany that have broadly speaking handled the pandemic relatively well so what does that tell you and what kind of warning is that for those of us here in the u.s.? >> well, kim, what we're seeing in europe is really concerning. eastern europe is an epicenter. you mentioned death rates from covid-19 in romania, bulgaria, latvia, russia and ukraine are really at an all-time high for the pandemic and that's due to low vaccination rates in these countries, and many parts of western europe are also surging with new cases. in germany, as you mentioned over the last two weeks, the

average number of daily cases in the country has more than doubled with some icus in the country reporting they're at full capacity and germany's fully vaccinated 67% of its population. many other countries in western europe with relatively high vaccination rates are seeing new covid cases surging. vaccination is certainly limiting severe illness and death, thankfully in those countries, but i really this should serve as a warning to the rest of the world that if countries with 70% to 80% vaccination uptick are having these kinds of surges it can really happen anywhere. >> thankfully here in the u.s. more and more people will be able to get vaccinated with the covid vaccine available for younger kids now. there still seems to be, though, some reticence for many parents to get their kids vaccinated. a lot of that has to do with misinformation. we're seeing all sorts of myths out there how it might affect fertility, all sorts of things,

especially on social media so now as they're trying to get that push to get young kids vaccinated. how do you counter that misinformation from well meaning parents who want to protect their kids? >> well, kim, it was a really big week in the u.s. the cdc expanded vaccination recommendations to 28 million children here in the u.s., ages 5 to 11. which allows providers to start vaccinating them as soon as possible. getting this age group vaccinated against covid is essential. in the clinical trial the pfizer vaccine showed 90.7% efficacy at preventing symptomatic cases of covid. kim, 6 million kids in the u.s. have been infected with this virus. 1.1 million have been in the last seven weeks and the delta variant sent nearly 30,000 children to the hospital in august. there is a very dangerous misconception, and certainly misinformation circulating that children are not affected by covid. they certainly are. their mental health has suffered, not being able to

socialize with family and friends. for many kids, having school closures due to outbreaks has been extremely difficult. and not to mention, the risk of long covid with debilitating long-term symptoms for some children who are infected with the virus. so for any parents who are on the fence, please know that the benefits of this vaccine far outweigh the risks and certainly if you have questions go directly to your doctor. don't read about it on social media. come to us. we really want to answer your questions and have a conversation about it. >> and we've got to get more of their parents vaccinated as well, maybe by forcing them, right, the federal vaccine mandate would affect maybe some 100 million workers or so. there's been huge pushback against this as you would expect. dozens of states are taking the government to court to stop this. you've been very vocal in support of vaccine mandates. why is that? >> well, at this point, you know, whatever people are waiting for to convince them to

take this vaccine, you know, that time has really passed. we have now vaccinated half of all humanity, billions and billions of doses of this vaccine have gone out around the world. it is certainly extremely effective at preventing severe illness and death with very few potential downsides. if we have to mandate these vaccines to take place, i mean, that's where we're at right now. what we know is that if you are unvaccinated in this country covid-19 is coming for you. there really isn't anywhere to hide so we're at a point, really, the way forward in this pandemic is vaccination. >> let's end on a positive note, the developments anti-viral pills for covid, one was approved in the uk. pfizer announced one could be approved here in the u.s. by the end of the year. how big of a deal is that? >> it's a really big deal. you know, on friday, as you mentioned, pfizer did release preliminary results of its study

of 775 unvaccinated adults. and these were patients with mild to moderate covid-19 and were considered high risk for hospitalization due to underlying health problems. they received an anti-viral pill that showed an 89% reduction in their combined rate of hospitalization or death after a month compared to placebo. so the data haven't yet been published but this is quite promising and i expect that we'll hear more soon on this. i think that the certainly the future is being able to go to the pharmacy and take a medication if you do, in fact, become infected. this is a great step forward in addition, of course, to getting vaccinated and other mitigation measures in order to keep more people safe. >> absolutely. that's all the time we have, doctor, thank you so much for joining us, i really appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. chart topping brazilian singer ma ril la mendoza died in a plane crash. the latin grammy winner was on

who calls the summit a failure. those young activists weren't mincing words in their criticisms here. take us through what led to this disconnect? >> reporter: well, kim, there's been a lot of talk about progress at this conference and there has been, to some degree, but it's really limited. and in the bigger scheme of things, based upon what we know is necessary, it falls desperately short. so there have been some big international agreements announced this week to target specific problems like deforestation and methane emissions and others. and some countries have signed onto all this. so it could impact the mood of this event and create a positive feeling to some degree but it doesn't impact the specific issues that will ultimately determine if this conference is a success or a failure. we're still talking about that headline issue of whether or not countries are committing

individually to do enough to cut emissions and ensure that global average temperature increase does not go beyond 1.5 degrees celsius by the end of the century. at the moment put simply they are not. crucially big polluters, which have committed to hitting net zero carbon by the middle of the century are not backing that up with credible detailed plans that show a clear achievable path to get to that point. and so what that means, the scientists tell us that high ambition countries tell us if we don't make real changes this decade to cut emissions by around half then that goal of hitting net zero carbon by the middle of the century, it slips away, simply becomes unachievable. closing the gap there, building up ambition remains one of the core goals in this final week of the conference. the other issue is still money. rich countries still have to come up with how to find $100 billion a year to help poor countries adapt to and live with the consequences of climate

change. we also now have some of the more vulnerable countries asking for loss and damage payments on top of that, essentially reparations for what they are already suffering because of climate change. fixing this issue is emotive, but it is crucial because it is only through all parties coming to an agreed outcome here that you will have what will be considered a just settlement. poor countries have done the least to cause the problem. they often have the most to lose as a result of climate change. so if you take all of that into account at this halfway point there is still a great deal that needs to be done and at the moment you would have to say the likely outcome is not going to live up to what the scientists say is necessary and this is why there are protesters on the streets, and their biggest number yet. tens of thousands of people in glasgow today, calling for radical change, not incremental change, kim. >> we'll keep on that story

at one point he was even close to suicide. yorkshire launched a formal investigation and they received the findings in august this year. after a long delay they were ordered to release the findings, which concluded rafik had been the victim of racial harassment and bullying with seven of the 43 allegations upheld but they said there had been insufficient evidence to conclude the club was institutionally racist and that no one would face disciplinary action. they said there is no conduct or action taken by any of its employees, players or executives that warrants disciplinary action but in the last few days it emerged that a teammate regularly used the racist term about rafik's pakistani heritage towards him, dismissed as, quote, friendly and banter. as he stepped down on friday,
