received an email with a lot of rhetoric on parlor. one of the protectees was vice president pence. >> every single [ bleep ] in there is a traitor. every single one. >> they are moving to the capitol after the potus speech. >> now i asked the chairman of the committee, bennie thompson, about what the committee would do if donald trump decided to fight this, would they go to court? he would not go that far. he said ask donald trump when i asked him about the next steps. he said they would not go forward with a separate subpoena for former vice president mike pence. donald trump responded attacking the select committee not saying whether or not he would actually testify but calling it the, quote, unselect committee and asking them why didn't they ask him to testify months ago. now the committee revealing also in his hearing that there could

evan perez, cnn, washington. in ukraine we're getting reports from the southern city of zaporizhzhia once again coming under rocket fire, russian rocket fire. ukrainian officials say a rocket harmed the city friday morning. that's happening as russia said it will evacuate civilians from the kherson region. it's one of the occupied areas russia declared annexed last month. meanwhile, an american veteran volunteering to fight has died. dane partridge was wounded in a russian ambush earlier this month. further west an 11-year-old boy who was pulled from a building died. a boy named artem spent hours

trapped. he was alive when rescuers reached him but he later died of cardiac arrest in hospital. selma is following developments in ukraine. what do you make of the latest very tragic stories? >> we're off the back of a very extraordinary week in ukraine, some of the worst assaults from russia since the beginning of the conflict that spanned all across the country all the way down to the front lines. coming out of this week i think president zelenskyy looks even stronger. he's just had all these pledges of support, weapons, money coming from his western allies. yesterday nato defense ministers pledging the air defense systems. the artillery, air defense systems he needs. also promising counter drone equipment. this is important because we've seen russia step up the drone usage and in russia a kamikaze drone was used in kyiv. all of this support being flown in. still the counter offensive

being flown in. the counter offensive making gains. in the south in the kherson region villages have been claimed. now moscow is under so much pressure from ukrainian forces that they might actually evacuate people from occupied kherson. still president putin on the back foot. you've seen a flurry of diplomatic activity. eu try to prepare for the winter, wean themselves off of that dependency off of oil and gas. a weekend in which president zelenskyy is still coming out strong. now there are serious fears about civilians in ukraine yet again if president putin's strategy is switching across residential areas in ukraine. that will be crucial this winter. that will be important to see how that plays out. >> selma. thank you. meanwhile, u.s. defense

secretary is set to meet members of the bucharest 9 group. their talks in brussels come after yesterday's meeting of nato defense ministers. austin said the alliance is working to strengthen its own ranks. >> nato continues to make clear that we will not be dragged into russia's war of choice but we will stand by ukraine as it fights to defend itself. and we will continue to strengthen nato's collective defense. >> russia is proposing to shift some of its natural gas exports to turkey. president vladimir putin made the proposal to erdogan in kazakhstan on thursday. the idea is to move some of the damaged gas flow to other lines going through turkey. mr. putin says from there russian gas could go to europe and other customers.

>> translator: if there is interest from turkey and from our potential buyers in other countries, we could have considered the civility of building another gas pipeline and creation of the gas supply hub in turkey to supply gas to other countries, first of all to the european countries, if they are interested obviously. >> prices are rising in the u.s. and that could mean more interest rate spikes from the federal reserve. a rundown of the latest grim financial numbers just ahead and the u.k. is facing its own issues. why it's heading in the wrong direction. plus, the killer of 17 people at a florida high school four years ago will spend the rest of his life behind bars. it wasn't the outcome the victim's families had been

figures revealed inflation still rising stoking fears that multiple big rate hikes could be coming from the federal reserve, but in the end the market rallied as investors focused on strong earnings from delta, wall green and others. the dow says 2.8% posting the biggest percentage data of the year. wall street's new trading day gets underway in just five hours. here's where u.s. futures stand right now in pretty good staed off the back of those gains. meanwhile, the european markets are off and running. this is how they look. all up including the ftse in london, which is pretty obsessed right now with u.k. politics. we've been talking about that in a moment. >> these are the asian markets. they're all up as well. positive gains across the board. now the white house tried to put a positive spin on the latest grim economic figures. president biden acknowledged the economic pain americans are

feeling but pointed out inflation has dropped significantly from the start of the year. as rahel solomon pointed out, that's small comfort from those that are struggling. >> reporter: thursday's cpi has an unmistakable message. consumer inflation rose 0.4%. twice what many economists were expecting. inflation higher by 8.2%. talks continue to rise in places like shelter, accommodations, medical care and food. grocery prices rose in all six major food categories that the report tracks including fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish. on the other hand, prices for gasoline fell in september 4.9% although we know they've been creeping up more recently. thursday's cpi report acknowledging that inflation has spread beyond places like food and energy.

core inflation rose 0.6% in september or 6.6% annually. that is a fresh 40-year high. the report comes after months of inflation readings that suggests perhaps inflation was moderating. no amount of hand waving can make today's cpi less of a wave. hotter than expected increasing the odds say they will hike a benchmark interest rate by another 3/4 of 1% at the november meeting. if so, that would be four consecutive rate hikes of that size. something we have not seen in that history. the fed raises rates. the cost of borrowing goes up making things like a home loan and practically anything else more expensive which is the point. the fed is trying to cool stuff just enough so that things cool. if spending cools too much, we could experience a recession. one part of the economy still working in america's favor is the job market which remains

very strong with unemployment at historic lows. rahel solomon, cnn, new york. inflation is hitting everywhere in the world and top financial leaders are meeting to charter a path forward. they said it's imperative that global inflation is brought under control. >> we need to continue to fight inflation until we win this fight and the fed is going to do exactly that. why is it necessary? because if you move price stability, we undermine growth and we need people's well-being. >> many economists and bankers worry the plan to kick start its economy could short circuit international efforts to tame inflation. the global strategy should be for all of the world's major economies to aim for moderate growth, not speed it up. british prime minister liz truss faces major push back to get the

economy moving again with tax cuts the critics say will crush the country's working class. this as concerns grow that the u.k. could soon be in recession after the figures showing the country's economy shrank unexpectedly in august. surge inflation is taking a heavy toll on many british households. the nation's currency is losing its luster. again, down today 1/3 of 1%. the pound did pick up 1% thursday as rumors swirled that the prime minister may be planning some more changes to her economic plan but weeks of economic turmoil have thrown u.k. markets for a loop. the finance minister has flown back early to deal with the latest rumors. we think that's the case. it was extraordinary, wasn't it? we heard that he was flying over when during the day he said it was in control, going as planned. >> seems to be par for the course, the government. even though ministers came out saying there's nothing unusual

to see here, we look at the context and clearly there is. the government is in such a difficult position because on the one hand if they don't u-turn on more measures, it's likely when the bank of england stops the bailout that the markets must be sent into the spiral again. they may not be able to pass these things through parliament which is tantamount to collapsing the government. if they do u-turn, the u-turning on central tenants and the people who elected this to the common leader, there is no good move here. >> in terms of what might happen in terms of leadership, there's not any talk about this budget plan. there's talk about getting rid of trust. >> open discussions. >> and an obvious candidate lining up. >> yes. so obviously we don't know if it will happen. we don't know how soon it will happen, but we can definitely say in westminster and indeed in all of the newspapers this morning a splash the question, can liz trust last? how long will she last?

there's a discussion about a possible coronation of a unity candidate. the reason that's desirable is it's generally considered this leadership contest, most are on eddie phiing spectacles. a party has to have three prime ministers in one year so they want to avoid any kind of further disruption. so the idea that party and party elders and senior figures like former prime ministers, former leaders will have to get together and say here's a candidate the party can unite behind, that's being discussed. changing the mechanism by which a leader. >> cinak. >> yes combined with thenny mordak. they were the final candidates on the ticket. so the two of them combined would have a parliamentary majority. >> bianca, thank you. we're watching that very closely today. now the once unthinkable is now a reality. netflix with ads is here. the streaming giant unveiled basic with ads. its much anticipated ad

to spare the life of convicted killer nicholas cruz 17 times. >> we the jury unanimously find that the aggravating factors that were proven beyond a reasonable doubt out weigh the mitigating circumstances established. no. >> reporter: on all 17 counts of first degree murder, three jurors showed cruz mercy according to wfor. something cruz's own attorneys said he did not show his victims the day of the massacre. >> i'm disgusted with our legal system. i'm disgusted with those jurors. >> his daughter, 14-year-old alyssa alhadef was shot several times at marjorie stone man douglas high school on valentine's day in 2018. >> we set a policrecedent that nothing happens to you. you'll get life in jail. i'm sorry. that is not okay. as a country, we need to stand

up and say that's not okay. >> reporter: the jury returned a verdict of life without the possibility of parole after deliberating for one day ending a lengthy penalty trial that began in april. to have recommended death, the jury would have had to unanimously agree that the aggravating factors, the reasons for a death sentence outweighed mitigating circumstances including doctors' testimony that cruz was mentally ill was enough to spare his life. they did not. >> this jury failed our families today, but i will tell you, the monster's going to go to prison and in prison i hope and pray he receives the kind of mercy from prisoners that he showed to my daughter and the 16 others. he is going to go to prison and he will die in prison and i will be waiting to read that news on that. he should have received the

death sentence today. >> reporter: late thursday one of the jurors that voted against the death penalty wrote a letter to the judge denying an allegation that she says she heard from another juror who said that she had made up her mind before the trial got started. nicholas cruz will be back in court to be sentenced on november 1st and the family members of the victims, they're going to be able to address the court that day. carlos suarez, cnn, fort lauder tail, florida. in the coming hours, authorities in raleigh, north carolina, will hold a news conference on the mass shooting that killed five people on thursday including a police officer. so far they're not releasing the victim's names. the suspected gunman was taken into custody but has also not been identified. police say he's a white male juvenile, no word yet on a motive. raleigh's mayor got emotional and said america's mindless gun violence has to stop. >> we have to wake up.

there really is no way of knowing for certain how many people have died in weeks of violent anti-government protests in iran. amnesty international says at least 23 of the victims are children aged 11 to 17 and those were just during the last ten days of september as well when the government unleashed a ruthless crackdown on demonstrators. since the protests first erupted amnesty reports at least 144 men, women and children have been killed. cnn isn't able to verify that figure and many believe the actual death toll is actually much higher. cnn's nada bashir is following all of the developments for us this morning. you wonder what the authorities think of the fact that these numbers are getting out there and that shocking details of actually who's being killed.

>> yeah, there has been a real effort to control the spread of information. we've seen internet restrictions across parts of the country in an attempt to stop the videos and details coming out. we've heard from numerous human rights organizations already detailing these violent acts by the iranian security forces expressing concern in particular over the use of lethal and excessive force and also in particular against young people. as you heard in the troubling report from amnesty international, 23 children identified their names and photographs in their report killed at the hands of the iranian security forces. according to amnesty either by live fire ammunition, by lethal beatings or by other means. this is really a huge concern. we've heard from unicef expressing concern how children are being treated by the security forces and what really raised further concern was remarks by iran's education minister speaking to the refreform

er newspaper saying many of the students being retained are being sent to psychological reform and training. that's raised the concern of many across the globe. we've seen that crackdown intensifying in iran particularly in the northwest kurdish region. they're using tear gas and live fire weapons indiscriminately. 23 children are just from the end including in sonandage where over the weekend alone we saw five people being killed including a 7-year-old child according to a human rights organization focusing on the kurdish region. despite the violent crackdown we are seeing these protests gaining momentum popping up across the country, many still being led by students at universities and acts of defiance by young school girls

removing their hijabs. this is all despite the crackdown that was -- the iranian regime has blamed it on riots and people who are working for foreign aid. they've blamed it on the u.s., israel. these are people who are demanding further rights in iran. they're demanding easing of restrictions on women's rights. they're demanding better policies and they're demanding better standards of living. some now of course are also calling for a complete overhaul of the regime. they are calling for the end of the islamic regime. >> nada, thank you. a week's long strike is over at one of the french gasoline refineries. according to local cnn affiliate, workers lifted their blockade on thursday following discussions with energy giant exxonmobile. four of the seven gas sites in

political protest in the chinese capitol targeting not only chinese zero covid policy but china's core leader himself. chinese leader xi jinping. we're days away from the 20th party congress. he's the president of the country, general secretary of the communist party and he's expected to be anointed to secure the unprecedented third term and secure his status of being the most powerful leader in decade. these are the images that started circulating on thursday where you see a banner was unfurled from the overpass. this is from a high tech district in beijing. we have a translation. it said this, quote, go on strike. remove dictator and national

traltor xi jinping, unquote. also at the scene a plume of smoke was seen riding but appeared to at least direct some attention. we also have a translation for you of the other banner. the other banner read this, quote, say no to covid tests, yes, to food. no to lockdown, yes to freedom. no to lies, yes to dignity. >> no to cultural revolution. yes to reform. these banners have been taken down. images and videos of these banners have been scrubbed off the internet in china. there have been reports that the word beijing is sensored off of social media. beijing and the officials have yet to comment publicly about this incident. the head of the 20th party congress which kicks off on sunday, there has been rising discontent and anger in china

missouri are included in this. just last month, a couple months ago in july, 22% of oklahoma under severe drought. only half a percent under the state of arkansas under severe drought conditions. fast forward this week and look at how dramatically those numbers change. the spreading of this drought continues. we have a high fire danger, fire risk. red fire warnings max mentioned. this includes places like this. winds continue to whip up across this region and create the high, relative humidity. this is app astounding picture and it tells a thousand words. this is the mississippi river. what you're looking at here is a stranded barge. this is normally water, right? now you can walk across parts of the mississippi river. the water levels are so low that it is actually halting some of the barge traffic in a really terrible time, max, considering we have all kinds of supply chain issues.

working into negative territory. it's incredible to think memphis had 30 days without water. that ended just a few days ago. max. >> unbelievable, derek. thank you. the weather was not cooperative in new york forcing major league baseball to cancel game two. it's been rescheduled for this afternoon with the yankees leading the series 1-0. in the other american league series the houston astros are taking a commanding lead over the seattle mariners with a 4-2 victory on thursday. another win on saturday and the astros advance to their lead championship series. finally a piece of football history is going on the auction block here in london next month. it's a ball used by argentinian diego maribol. they include the goal he controversionly scored with his hand which he said was done by the hand of god. the ball has been valued at up

to $3.3 million. earlier this year his shirt from that match fetched more than 9 million bucks. thanks for joining me here on "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster in london. "early start" with christine romans is up next on cnn.
