hello and warm well --

welcome to our viewers. >> i don't think there will be a recession. if there is, it will be a slight recession. >> the three largest economies will continue to stall. >> we believe we are in a stronger position than many other countries when it comes to dealing with global challenges. >> do you think putin is a rational actor? >> i think he is a rational actor who's miscalculated significantly. >> president putin is failing in ukraine. >> we're going to continue to work to provide air defense capabilities to the ukrainians. >> the justice department is now urging the supreme court to stay out of this ongoing mar-a-lago classified document saga. >> i agree with the justice department. these are sensitive materials and you ought to very closely and very carefully manage who has access to them. >> this is a new hoax, the document hoax.

>> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. it's wednesday, october 12th. 9 a.m. in london, 4 a.m. in washington where president joe biden is facing a growing list of national and global challenges. this as the u.s. mid-term elections are just 27 days away now. americans will vote to decide the control of congress as well as a number of governorships, state legislatures and other local offices. for many voters the state of the u.s. economy is on the ballot. the banks are warning a recession is likely coming. mr. biden isn't quite there yet. this is what the president told cnn's jake tapper in an exclusive interview. >> should the american people prepare for a recession? >> no. look. they've been saying this every six months.

every six months they look down the next six months and say it is going to happen. it hadn't happen. there's no guarantee. i don't think there will be a recession. if there is, it will be a very slight recession. that is, we'll move down slightly. they've been predicting this off an on -- >> you said a slight recession is possible? >> it is possible. look, it is possible. i don't anticipate it. >> the international monetary fund has a different perspective. the agency issued a stark warning after a difficult year, quote, the worse is kret to come. the imf taking a gloomy outlook. the global economy. they have downgraded their forecast saying global growth will slump to 2.7 pe% next yeard more than 1/3 of the economy will contract while the u.s., europe and china will continue to stall. here's how global markets are doing today off the back of all

of that news. stocks in europe are all in the red as you can see. swiss shares up slightly. these are the u.s. futures. they're all up less than 1% though. u.s. stocks finished mixed on tuesday after sliding for the past four days as investors await key inflation and earnings reports. now let's take a look at how oil prices are to go this hour. brent crude is at more than $94 a barrel and wti crude is up $89 a barrel. here's how those prices will impact americans at the pump. according to aaa the national average gas price is $3.92 today. that's 9 cents more than last week and 64 cents more than a year ago. soaring gas prices ahead of the mid-term elections is not what the white house wants. president joe biden will work

with the white house to deal with saudi arabia. kaitlyn collins explains. >> reporter: president biden taking a different tone when it comes to saudi arabia. he believes there needs to be a review of the u.s./saudi arabia relationship in light of the decision to slash oil production despite attempts to get saudi arabia to continue oil production as it was, potentially to increase it. this has called in democratic lawmakers to say saudi arabia is siding with russia in its war on ukraine. the production could boost prices for russia helping them finance the war that they are conducting in ukraine. that is something that is under consideration here at the white house, but we are told by john kirby from the national security council, that doesn't mean a formal policy review is being conducted. no special teams, no deadlines. the white house is not saying what options they are looking at

when it comes to retaliating. they are saying this is something they are going to be having conversations with members of congress about because you've seen democrats, people from biden's own side of the political aisle saying they believe the weapons sales that are going to saudi arabia should effectively be curtailed, stripping some of those antitrust laws that help opec function with the price of oil. all of the matters that are under consideration now in washington because congress is vowing to push back against this position. the question is just how much the white house is going to go along with this. it is a big shift in tone for president biden himself given over the summer he took the political hit going to saudi arabia, meeting personally with saudi leaders and fist bumping the crown prince, a decision he says he doesn't regret. all of that factors into what the white house is thinking when it comes to the u.s./saudi relationship. that deserves rethinking and

whether or not it serves the u.s. national security interest. kaitlyn collins, cnn, the white house. during that exclusive interview president biden warned saudi arabia will face consequences over its decision. he sat down with jake tapper. >> do you think it's time for the u.s. to rethink its relationship with saudi arabia? >> yes. by the way, let's get straight why i went. i didn't go about oil. i went to make sure we didn't walk away from the middle east. we should and i am when the house and senate get back, they're going to have to -- there's going to be some consequences for what they've done with with russia. >> what kind of consequences? menendez says suspend all arms sales. is that something you would consider? >> i wouldn't get into what i would consider or have in mind, but there will be consequences. french lawmakers are starting the legal process on

the workers strike. long lines have become common in france 367891 stations are increasing. refinery workers are demanding a pay hike. cnn's jim bitterman is joining us live. the public is getting frustrated and want this to be over. >> reporter: absolutely, max. this is the kind of thing a lot of motorists in france are seeing. if they go out to fill up their cars at the pumps, long lines as you mentioned. long lines, in this case they go back about 500 yards down the road. some people waiting as long as 2 1/2 hours to get a chance at the pump. basically the situation is that six out of the seven refineries in france have been affected by this strike in one way or

another. some completely shut down. as to the situation you mentioned at the pump, we're about 1/3 of the gas stations are completely out of fuel or at least one grade is missing from their stock. it's the kind of thing the government looks at with a great deal of alarm because in the past we have seen what that can lead to in france. the government last night threatened and then this morning enacted the requisition of employees at the refinery. basically that means they ordered some of the employees, key employees back to work. this is something the government can do if the industry is ranked as a critical industry, of course this one is. in fact, workers are being ordered to go back to work. there's still some doubt about were they will really go back. if a policeman knocked at your door and says you have to be at work, perhaps they'll comply with the government's wishes. it does remain to be seen how that's going to be enacted and what impact that's going to

have. it will probably take a few days for the impact to show up at the pump. >> jim in paris, thank you. liz truss will face questions in parliament as support from her own party dwindles. the u.k.'s finest plan hbe published october 21st, three weeks earlier. he'll advocate for how he'll fund items. it took three days to adjust the thoughts before they gave support. nearly eight months into russia's war in ukraine. president biden sat down with

jake tapper. >> do you think putin is a rational actor? >> i think he is a rational actor who's miscalculated significantly. i think he thought -- you may recall, i pointed out that they were running vague. no one believed he was going to invade ukraine. you listen to what he says. you listen to the speech he made after when that decision was being made, he talked about the whole idea of he was -- needed to be leader of russia that united all russian speak -- i mean, he just -- i just think it's irrational zblal so if he's not rational -- >> i didn't say he's not rational. >> you said the speech -- >> i think the speech, his objectives were not -- i think he thought -- jake, i think he thought he was going to be welcome with open arms. this was going to be the home of mother russia, kyiv, he was going to be welcomed. i think he just totally

miscalculated. >> what is the off ramp? is there any acceptable way that he can leave, in his mind, without seizing territory in a way that would not be acceptable to ukraine? >> i don't know what's in his mind. clearly he could leave. he could just flat leave and still probably hold his position together in russia. the idea that he's been able to convince a significant number of russian people that this is something that he thought made sense but now he's accomplished what he wanted to do and it's time to bring russians home. >> now nato defense ministers are set to meet soon in brussels to discuss the alliance's support of ukraine. nato secretary general said whilst nato is not party to conflict, the support is playing a key role in helping ukraine

defend itself from russia's attacks. on tuesday g-7 leaders spoke with volodymyr zelenskyy during a virtual meeting. mr. zelenskyy said his country needs an air shield. warned vladimir putin still has room for further escalation. >> translator: i am asking you to strengthen the overall effort to help financially with the creation of an air shield for ukraine. millions of people will be grateful to the group of 7 for such assistance. when ukraine will receive a sufficient number of modern and effective air defense systems, the key russian airstrikes will cease to work. >> ukraine says there are no victims of the russian airstrike in zaporizhzhia and the suburbs, but rescuers pulled several people out of the rubble of residential building that was hit. meanwhile, president zelenskyy said ukraine shot down 20 out of

28 missiles fired by russia on tuesday. he pray praised one soldier for bringing down two cruise missiles with a shoulder fired rocket. ukraine's energy minister said 1/3 of the facilities have been hit. they're working around the clock to restore power. russian state media report eight people have been detained in connection with the explosion on the bridge linking russia to crimea over the weekend. russia's federal security service claims it was a terrorist attack organized by the main intelligence department of ukraine's defense ministry. ukraine has yet to comment on the fsb claims. selma abdelaziz. if spies are involved, we're not going to hear anything. >> you're not going to get any

secret plan. it does begin to give us an indication of what the kremlin is concerned about, right? this is a major attack. this is exposed a really serious security breach. you're seeing the arrests, you're seeing this blow back of forces, the missiles landing across ukraine. again, ukraine denying any responsibility but russia pointing the finger at ukraine's defense ministry saying this bomb has been planned, been in circulation since august. >> and with this nato meeting, they're obviously making the point they're not part of this conflict and will help ukraine as much as possible. >> this nato meeting is about showing the western resolve remains steadfast. even many months into the conflict, even as president putin has attacked, even as we're seeing retaliatory

strikes, what this nato meeting wants to do is we still stand shoulder to shoulder by ukraine. there are some technical matters that need to be discussed, right? how do you continue to support ukraine? how do they continue to provide the weapons the ukrainian military needs to continue to make the gains that we've seen on the grounds in the last few weeks. that means air defense systems. germany, the united states has promised two more surface to air. they're asking for more and then the other thing i think that they'll be discussing today is the nordstream pipeline. i think that's very important, those two pipe lines that were attacked in late september, an act of sabotage. some suspecting russia. russia denies. what all of that shows is the energy sector, energy infrastructure needs to be secured especially as we head into the winter. you're going to see them discuss how do they tighten that security ring. >> back with you when we get

more on that, selma. thank you. coming up next, the justice department wants the supreme court to stay out of a dispute on documents seized at mar-a-lago. we'll have the discussion in washington. after 23 years of maintaining his innocence, adnan has maintained his innocence. dwayne the rock johnson weighs in on a possible bid. >> this idea and the question continues to pop up on whether or not i would run for president, would i seriously consider it? i have seriously considered it, you have to. when you start looking at some of the -- for episodic migraine. most c common side effects are nausea, constipation, and tiredness. ask your doctor about qulipta.

the u.s. justice department is urging the supreme court to h intervene. the justice department is now urging the supreme court to stay out of the ongoing mar-a-lago classic document saga, at least for now.

in a filing the solicitor general went point by point to lay out to the supreme court why they should not grant trump's emergency petition. trump, of course, asked the supreme court to step in to allow the special master and the legal team to access the 100 classified documents that were seized during that mar-a-lago fbi search in august. it's something an appeals court has blocked and d oj is now arguing the appeals court did have the power to step in and block the 100 classified documents from trump's team and the special master especially because, in their words they say these are extraordinarily sensitive records that implicate national security. the doj is arguing that the supreme court should not now undo that as trump's team is requesting. and doj is stressing here that trump just wasn't harmed by the decision from the 11th circuit to block those classified documents from his review and

remarkably throughout this 34-page response, the doj blasted the lower court judge here, eileen cannon, for her actions even appointing a special master and then allowing him full access to these classified documents writing this in part, the district court's order was a serious and unwarranted intrusion on the executive branch's authority to control the use and distribution of extraordinarily sensitive government records. so now we wait for the supreme court to act. it could be at any point now. it takes five justices to grant trump's request but you know the last time trump went to the supreme court for this kind of emergency relief, it was in january to block white house records from january 6th committee, but he was denied. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. cnn legal analyst elliott williams weighed in on the latest development in the documents dispute. >> when dealing with information

that is this secure, at least as we believe to be this secure, the mere risk of disclosure is itself significantly sort of -- that's the harm, the thought that it might get into someone's hands. and so it's not an unfair question or an unfair point from the justice department to be suspicious of it getting into anyone's hands. judge dearie with his background having been around classified documents before is in as good a position as anyone to review the materials. i agree with the justice department, these are sensitive materials and you ought to very closely and very carefully manage who has access to them. >> we're now learning the secret service has given the january 6th house committee nearly 1.5 million communications from the leadup to the capitol riot in the last two weeks. that includes emails, documents and does not include text messages lost in the data

migration. they're set to hold the next public hearing on thursday. these are the elements of authorities we've been following. authorities in texas have charged a former police officer in the shooting of an unarmed teen. police body camera footage shows then officer james brennan walk up to a car, open the driver's side door and order 17-year-old eric cantu out. the visibly startled teen put the car in reverse and started backing out when brennan opened fire. his family says cantu has been in critical condition and on life support ever since. the san antonio police call the incident horrific. >> it's not a question of training, policies, my response was this was a failure for one individual police officer. it had nothing to do with our policies. policies did not allow that. our training did not teach that. this was a fail for one

particular police officer, and here we are as a result of that fail. >> james is in custody. he's facing two counts of aggravated assault, one charge for each person who was in that car. in florida defense attorneys for the parkland school shooter made their final plea to a jury on tuesday saying he's a broken person who should not die for his crimes. prosecutors argue nicholas cruz wanted to kill people and deserves the death penalty. the jury is expected to start deliberations later today. cruz pleaded guilty to killing 14 students and 3 adults in 2018. in the u.s. state of maryland baltimore police have dropped all charges against adnan syed. he was charged in the 1999 killing of his girlfriend. he always maintained his innocence and was featured in

the landmark podcast "serial." an attorney for adnan syed said he will spend his time truly being free without the burden of having to wear an ankle monitor, this after prosecutors made it official and dropped the charges against syed for the 1999 murder of his girlfriend after releasing him from prison last month. they did it after receiving new dna test results on items that had never been tested before which they say excluded syed from evidence collected at the crime scene. all of this the result of syed's case gaining national attention on the first season of the "serial" podcast in 2014. he was already serving a life sentence but new evidence came to light, much of it shown in that podcast. previous prosecutors on the case had failed to tell syed's defense attorney about evidence that would have allowed him to

defend himself, including that there were two other possible suspects in the case. syed served 23 years behind bars before his release last month. the state did have a 30-day period to decide whether or not to refile the case but once that dna evidence came in late last friday, the decision was made to officially drop it. >> he is elated. he is joyful. he is still processing this. i mean, i think you can imagine this has been -- there have been so many ups and downs over the past 23 years so he is really just taking it all in, but he's incredibly grateful for all of the people who have supported him and believed in him over the years. >> although my administration was not responsible for neither the pain inflicted upon hayman lee's family, nor was my administration responsible for the wrongful conviction of mr. syed. as a representative of the

institution, it is my responsibility to acknowledge and to apologize to the family of hayman lee and adnan syed. >> reporter: now the murder of hayman lee sneeds to be solved. all this family ever wanted was answer and today's actions rob them of both. meanwhile, adnan who is 41 years old has always maintained his innocence. his attorney would not say whether or not he plans to file civil charges against those who were responsible for his conviction. his attorney did say that now that he's free he'll continue to pursue his education and with hopes of possibly pursuing a degree in law. jason carroll, cnn, new york. still ahead on "cnn newsroom," much more on jake

tapper's exclusive interview with u.s. president joe biden including his thoughts of running for re-election in 2024. plus, republican senate hopeful herschel walker slamming the woman who claims he paid her to get an abortion.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster. if you're just joining us let me bring you up to date with our top stories this hour. russian state media reporting eight people have been detained in connection with the crimea bridge explosion. russia's fsb claims it was a

terrorist attack organized by the main intelligence department of ukraine's defense ministry. ukraine hasn't responded to those claims. the u.s. justice department is urging the supreme court not to intervene in a dispute over classified documents from donald trump's mar-a-lago estate. they could act on it in the next couple of days. more now though from cnn's exclusive interview with the u.s. president joe biden. he sat down with our jake tapper to talk about ukraine, russia, his son hunter and his own political future. take a listen. >> the question of course is when you're going to make an official announcement whether you're going to run for 2024 for re-election. do you think you'll make a decision before the end of the career? >> i'm not going to make this about my decision. >> do you think you're one of

the only people to beat donald trump? >> i believe i can beat donald trump again. >> mr. biden turns 80 next month. the cnn poll from july shows a majority of democrats and voters want the party to nominate someone else in 2024. the president says he has proven he can get things done. mitch mcconnell says he has the votes to be re-elected as senate republican leader in the next congress making him the longest serving party leader in u.s. history. the record has stood for more than four decades. mcconnell spoke with cnn about his party's battle. he brushed aside recent comments from president trump who said he has a death wish. now in georgia a new denial from embattled u.s. senate nominee herschel walker. he says the woman who claims he

paid her for her abortion is lying. cnn's eva mckend reports. >> did you ever have a conversation with this woman at any time about an abortion? >> no. >> reporter: did you ever to your knowledge give money to pay for the cost of an abortion? >> no. >> reporter: is she lying? >> yes, she's lying. >> reporter: herschel walker now striking a more aggressive approach in his push back to claims he paid for a woman to have an abortion. >> i know nothing about an abortion. i know it's a lie. i said it's a lie and i just move on. that's why i say it's sad people say it's a surprise but you're destroying families. >> reporter: florida senator rick scott and arkansas senator tom cotton hitting the trail for the candidate outside of atlanta. >> there's way too many reasons that each one of you should vote

for herschel walker. >> people get tired of television ads and the lies they tell about herschel walker. >> reporter: cnn has not independently confirmed the allegations. >> you see what they're doing. they will say whatever they have to say because they want this seat right here but i don't think they know they woke up a bear. >> reporter: he supports a national abortion ban with no exceptions. >> do you have any evidence on the charges against you? >> reporter: they question the timing of the stories in the final weeks of the campaign. >> i probably am doubtful with some of the allegations that they've come out so late into the game. >> i feel like if that did happen, which i don't think it did, why now? why do you have to go to the news? why not have worked that out with him? >> reporter: but some georgia conservatives say there will be split ticket voters. the latest allegations a bridge too far.

>> if he would just own up to them, you know, telling the truth about them. >> reporter: the georgia senate race, which could determine control of the u.s. senate, is seen crucial forboth parties. warnock sought to tie them both together. >> he threatened to kill us and had us move six times in six months. >> reporter: while warnock's campaign has been careful not to directly attack him, a democratic outside group highlighted accusations from walker's adult son christian an outspoken conservative. and they're highlighting a march 2020 incident in which walker's ex-wife told police he ran over her in a car. >> i tried to keep the way he

acts under wraps and today he crossed the line. >> reporter: he was not charged and an officer and medical personnel at the scene did not find any visible signs of injury. not in the mix at the rally, brian kemp. he held his own campaign events today. when asked about this scandal kemp said he continues to support the entire republican ticket, but this is notable because we haven't seen georgia's republican establishment rally around walker in the same way as national republicans expressly concerned about the future of georgia's senate seat. eva mckend, cnn, carrollton, georgia. hollywood megastar dwayne the rock johnson said he's blown away by calls for him to run for the white house. he describes himself as a political independent and centrist. in 2020 johnson endorsed president joe biden. the rock says that for now he's

focused on raising his family but he's leaving the door open. >> this idea and the question continues to pop up on whether or not i would run be for president, would i seriously consider it, and i have seriously considered t. you have to. when you start looking at some of these polls and these numbers move up into the 46%, 50%, the country would vote for me should i run. i've been really moved by that. i mean, truly it sat me down. i'm just really grounded and humbled by the interest on both sides but the number one job and my number one title that i love right now is daddy. >> johnson, he's 50, is father of three. he's currently promoting his new movie "black adam" which is part of the d.c. comics extended universe. now still ahead, our weather team is following scattered storms and showers in the u.s. southeast and the return of

island and expedite other affairs as well. the flooding from hurricane ian is still causing problems in florida. officials tell cnn the st. john's river has been overflowing into the town of geneva making more than 400 homes inaccessible. one forecastor says it's the worst flooding the area has seen in the last 70 years. officials expect the water to flow into another up to in the coming days. the national weather service center said it could stay above flood level until late november. meanwhile, keeping an eye on tropical storm karl. cnn's meteorologist brittney ritz is here. >> we have tropical storm karl on our hands with max sustained winds at 40 miles per hour, gusts of 50 taking a slow track up to the north.

expected to get pushed back down into mexico over the next few days. landfall late wednesday into thursday. as that area of high pressure pushes the system back down, heavy rains, one of the bigger concerns. ve vera cruz, isolated higher amounts possible. keep in mind, we have a mountain range that's roughly 12,000 feet tall and that is what's going to help destroy the system. regardless of the storm weakening, heavy rain, flash flooding and of course mudslides as a result of that. on the contrary, we're dealing with drought. this is the arkansas drought monitor back in january. 29% of the state was under. we've had a nice dry spell. not a good situation here. now 78% of the state is back up to drought and thankfully we

have some relief in sight with the next front making its way back through here. 2 to 4 inches of rain expected in the upcoming days which of course brings us potential for flooding. we'll watch that closely here. not only flooding but also the threat for severe weather. a slight risk from the spc gives us damaging winds and hail across the lower mississippi valley stretching up to the ohio river valley in the next 24 hours. there's the front. the rain is much needed. that slides over into the mid-atlantic and new england by the end of the week which is going to bring us back the fall weather. we try to warm up for a second time here. temperatures back into the upper 60s for pittsburgh and mid-atlantic. the colder weather will stretch back in the coming week as that front passes through. by the weekend, some of us could wind up in the 40s for highs now. >> brittney, thank you.

>> we're tracking video out to iran showing protesters chasing away forces. clashes have intensified and spread showing little sign of letting up despite a deadly government showdown here. nada bashir joins me now. gunfire is being used. seems to be getting more intense? >> absolutely. it appears to be focusing on the northwestern kurdish region. we had heard from iran's interior minister laying the blame on this violence or since described as riots on separatist terrorist organizations, foreign backed terrorist organizations as he's described it. he spoke according to state

media at a meeting where we've seen a lot of this fighting taking place. he said these were planned, supported, led by separatist terrorists. he said whoever disturbs the tranquility of the people is the enemy of the iranian state and added that iran's army and law enforcement officials would continue to deal with protestors firmly to, in his words, neutralize their fruitless efforts. we are expecting that crackdown to continue and intensify. we've heard from human rights groups to talk about lethal force. it's being used against protesters. at least five people in the kurdish region already killed since the weekend. we are still seeing the protesters take to the streets. >> these are almost jubilant crowds. they're quite motivated scenes like this one.

>> yeah, absolutely. these people are deeply motivated. they're defiant on a number of other grievances. talking about the economy, other human rights violations and a number of grievances are coming to a head. people are simply fed up with the restrictions in place by the iranian regime taking part in demonstrations up and down the country. we've seen oil and gas workers protesting. that is of course a key pillar of the iranian party. >> nada, thank you. still ahead on "cnn newsroom," protecting the earth from as steroids. nasa celebrates what it calls a watershed moment for what it calls the defense of humanity. for episodic migraine. most common side effects are nanausea, constipation, and tiredness.

good morning. welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the
