♪ hello. warm welcome to viewers joining

us in the united states and all around the world, i'm max foster in london. just ahead -- >> will you accept the results of your election in november? >> i'm going to win the election, and i will accept that result. >> the president lied about the election fundamentally. she couldn't answer. she didn't answer. >> the united states president told them to go there. >> we expect him to come in because he has a legal obligation to come in. >> he is going to re-evaluate our relationship with saudi arabia because they did side with russia against the interests of the american people. >> everything is going up. >> double and triple. ♪ >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. monday, october 17th, 9:00 a.m. here in london, 11:00 a.m. in kyiv where at least four explosions have rocked the

ukrainian capital and officials say russia's latest attacks have been carried out by kamakazi drones. the city's mayor says rescue operations are under way where two people remain under rubble and 18 others rescued. president volodymyr zelenskyy says russia's attack on ukrainian cities won't be able to break us. clarissa ward in kyiv and claire sebastian in london. >> reporter: hi, max. that's right. we're at the scene of one of those blasts. you can probably see behind me quite a lot of smoke still coming from that area where, according to ukrainian authorities, a residential building was hit. the mayor of kyiv saying that 18 people were rescued from that people. that two people are still believed to be trapped beneath the rubble. that's why you're seeing this on going, significant rescue effort.

there are police here. there are paramedics here. you've got the fire department just over here trying to get more water to put out those flames which have been burning now for several hours. these blasts were the result of the so-called kamakazi drones, iranian drones that have really been wreaking havoc on the battlefield here in ukraine for just about a month now. and while there were at least four explosions of drones that successfully hit targets, though not necessarily the intended targets, ukrainian authorities are saying that another 15 were intercepted inbound for the capital alone and 26 around the country. so just giving you a sense, max, of the scale of the battle that ukrainians are now up against, really using the full power of their air defense systems to stop these drone attacks and

desperately pleading today with the international community to supply more in the way of air defense to help them in the fight against these drones, max. >> why do you think we're suddenly getting these attacks on the capital and not on the front lines in the areas they're trying to keep control of? >> reporter: so, it's a really interesting question. it started primarily last monday when you saw that barrage of missile strikes, particularly here in kyiv. and the goal or the target appears to be civilian infrastructure because while i'm showing you the wreckage in the background there of a residential building, there are -- we're right in central downtown kyiv. there are several key civilian infrastructure buildings right in this area. so it seems that russia is choosing to target more and more those types of facilities. the hope is to maximize the challenge for ukrainian

authorities, especially as we head into the winter, targeting power, targeting heating, things of that nature to make it as painful and uncomfortable as possible for people on the ground here in ukraine, max. >> clarissa, thank you. back as we get more, of course. stay safe, as is always the case. claire, in terms of nato response here, we're not getting an immediate one, although this has just happened. but more broadly how are they responding? >> nato said they will continue to provide defense systems to ukraine, of course they have been calling for more in the wake of these strike this morning. starting today nato is carrying out nuclear exercises over northwest europe, 14 countries, 60 aircraft, including u.s. b52 bombers. no live weapons but it's expected before the end of the month, russia will also carry out its own nuclear exercises. these are planned. these are not new, but obviously comes a at a very delicate

moment in the conflict. seen an uptick in russian rhetoric around nuclear capability. just two weeks ago putin announced the annexation of these four territories heavily contested. he will defend at all means. extremely delicate. the u.s. will watch for any deviation from the normal behavior from russia. >> we talk about nuclear weapons, we're talking about tactical smaller ones in case people are worried about large bombs headed in any direction. >> the thinking among western officials is that would be initially what russia could do if it was to go down this path of using its nuclear capabilities. there's no evidence. this is something the u.s. has been stressing they started preparing their nuclear forces. there's no intelligence that they are planning to do this. but of course, given the rhetoric, they are, you know, really watching very closely in particular when these exercises take place. the national security adviser, max, over the weekend on state of the union, did say he didn't want any gray area.

he didn't want anyone to think that any type of nuclear weapons, deployment or any method of doing it was any less dangerous than any other type. >> claire, thank you. we're just about three weeks away from a crucial u.s. midterm election where the battle for congress is on the line. democrats are fighting to keep control of the majority in both the house and the senate, but their chances could be pretty slim. cnn poll finds americans almost evenly divided over which party should control congress. analysts say a republican red wave is very possible. democrat majority in congress is very thin with a 50/50 split in the senate and all 435 seats in the house are up for grabs. this year, key issues like abortion rights after the supreme court's decision roe versus wade may tip that scale and the current state of economy with recession worries and inflation skyrocketing remain a top factor. it's a lot to take in with local

officials also running. so here is what you should probably keep an eye on. there are six states at the center of the race. president biden flipped five of them or turned them blue in 2020. these states all have multiple races that will determine who takes control of the senate, the house and state departments. state governments. meaning what happens in these states will impact the entire country. early in-person voting starts across several states this week including some of those states that we're very closely watching. now polling places will open in just a few hours in georgia, a state where there are two highly anticipated heated races. first, democratic senator raphael warnock is trying to hold on to his seat against herschel walker, endorsed by donald trump and has been engulfed in abortion scandal. warnock hammered walker about that. in the governor's race, democrat

stacey abrams is challenging republican governor brian kemp in a repeat of their battle four years ago. abrams is running on abortion and voting rights. she is behind kemp in the polls. in arizona, trump endorsed kari lake is running for governor. she refuses to admit joe biden won the 2020 election. take a listen to what she told cnn's dana bash. >> if leaders like you and president trump are saying that the election was stolen, aren't you participating, contributing, even causing the idea of people thinking that the election is not safe and secure? >> no. no. we are going to make sure elections are safe and secure for democrats, independents and republicans alike. we want to know that our legal vote counted. we want to know the winner on election night. we don't want to be counting for ten days. >> but shouldn't count -- don't you want your votes to be

counted? don't you want your votes to be counted no matter how long it takes in 2022? >> yeah, i do. >> well, lake on the right was asked if she would accept defeat against her democratic opponent katie hobbs facing criticisms of her own. >> let's look forward then. >> can we talk about the issues facing -- >> in your election, will you accept the results? >> can we talk about the issues? i came on here thinking we were going to talk about the issues facing arizonians right now. >> we did. >> let's talk about the 2022 elections. will you accept the elections -- >> i've racing against twice elected racist. her hatred for people of color. >> my question is will you accept the results of your election in november? >> i'm going to win the election and i will accept that result. >> if you lose, will you accept that? >> i'm going to win the election, and i will accept that

result. >> look, kari lake made it clear time and time again that she's not interested in having substantive in-depth conversations about the issues that matter to arizonians. >> if you think she's as dangerous as she is to democracy, your responsible as a candidate who wants to run arizona to show and explain who their alternative is? >> that is exactly what i'm doing right now. and there is a lot more ability to have a conversation with you without her interruptions and shouting to do that. >> approval ratings president biden is hitting the campaign trail trying to boost the prospects of democratic candidates. cnn joe johns has more on that story. >> reporter: with november's midterm elections looming, the white house says the president will pick up this week where he left off over the weekend, pushing his midterm election messages on the economy, women's reproductive rights as well as

social security, medicare and, of course, prescription drugs. the white house says the president is expected to go to events in and around the washington, d.c. area in the early part of the week that could also include maryland and virginia. then later in the week is expected to go out to the city of pittsburgh as well as philadelphia where he's expected to attend a reception for john fetterman, the lieutenant governor there, who is also the democratic candidate for senate. his health became an issue when he had a stroke back in may. also, the republican candidate in that election is dr. oz who was endorsed in the primaries by former president donald trump. joe johns, cnn, the white house. the oath keepers trial is now entering a third week. on friday, prosecutors began connecting messages including cell phone data between the defendants. prosecutors argue these messages show how defendants conspire to stop the peaceful transfer of

power from then president donald trump to joe biden on january 6th, 2021. some of these messages included discussions of a civil war and killing politicians. all five defendants pleaded not guilty to seditious conspiracy charges. still to come, we're learning much more about a fire that killed at least eight prisoners inside a notorious prison in iran. details just ahead. the next gathering of g20 is a month away, the talk right now is who joe biden won't be meeting with. stay with us. and some u.s. states could see rain this week as prolonged drought grips much of the country. in a few moments we'll talk about the extreme cold across much of the united states. upwards of 60 million plus americans dealing with cold temps in store. seasons are changing. we'll break it down coming up in a few minutes.

♪ the u.s. fraternal order of police reports 50 officers have been killed by gunfire so far this year. two were killed on friday in a shootout in connecticut.

a warning the video you're about to see is disturbing. >> shots fired. shots fired. more cars. send everyone. officer shot. officer shot. >> the state released this body camera footage from the only officer to leave the shootout alive. authorities responded to an emergency call at the suspect's residence only to have him fire well over 80 rounds at officers, killing two before the third was able to take the suspect down with one shot. police say it was a deliberate attempt to lure police to the scene. iran's president is accusing u.s. president joe biden for fomenting the recent wave of protests following the death of a 22-year-old woman in police custody. teheran has responded to the protesters by unleashing a brutal and deadly crackdown. on friday, president biden told iran citizens the u.s. stands

with them and called on teheran to end the violence against its own people. mr. biden's remarks sparked an angry response from iran's president who said the president was inciting chaos. at the same time, we're learning more about a fire inside an iranian prison. iran's state media say eight prisoners have now died and dozens of others were injured in saturday's blaze. more on this i'm joined by cnn's nada bashir. some criticism of the response but also questions about how it all started. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. it is still somewhat unclear exactly what caused this fire. we are hearing different accounts and this is of course a very well known prison, known for the detention of human rights activists, notable writers, professors, lawyers and journalists so significant concern around what caused this fire. we already heard over the weekend from the news outlet which says it has been in touch with sources within the prison who described a revolt taking place on saturday evening.

fire had subsequently ensued. they've also been in touch with other prisoners who have been speaking to their families. they've been in touch with those family members who described the use of tear gas within these prison complexes, within the walls against prisoners. some were forced to break their windows just to be able to breathe. so you can imagine the real sense of chaos taking place there. but we also heard from iranian officials speaking over the weekend. they were very quick to assert that there was no such revolt but it was quickly under control and they blame the fire on so-called thugs who had set ablaze to a clothing warehouse on the complex. but of course, there are still real questions around the verification of these details. cnn isn't able to independently verify what caused the fire. we heard from the husband of one of the first journalists to report on the death of mahsa amini. she was detained as the prison shortly after. she described to her husband the chaotic scene. she said it was terrifying,

although she was in a different ward from where this fire took place. of course as you can imagine, the international community has expressed concern over this fire. we already heard from the u.s. state department's spokesperson ned price speaking over the weekend saying that the u.s. government is watching what's happening with a sense of urgency. and also reminded the iranian government they are responsible for the safety of foreign nationals detained in the prison. of course, we also heard from jake sullivan, the u.s. national security adviser who issued a pretty clear message on the actions and the measures that the u.s. government is taking against the iranian regime as we continue to see protests up and down the country. >> we have sanctioned the so-called morality police. we have sanctioned senior officials who have participated in the brutal crackdown and repression. we sanctioned the communications minister who is responsible for trying to cut off the internet from iranians communicating with one another. and then we've taken steps to try to make it easier for brave

iranians the women and citizens of iran standing up for their dignity to be able to talk to one another and the world. >> reporter: response we heard from the iranian president blaming the unrest on u.s. governor, on foreign actors. we also heard from the iranian foreign ministry spokesperson in response to this who said that the iranian regime is unfazed by any intervention by foreign politicians. he said that the u.s. government's cruel sanctions and absurd threats would not be something that the iranian regime would give into, but despite that brutal and deadly crackdown that is of course still going on across the last four weeks continues in response to these nationwide protests. these protests are gaining momentum. we are still seeing demonstrations taking place up and down the country. many, of course, taking place at universities. students being at the forefront of this movement but despite the crackdown they are continuing and of course these were once very much focussed on the movement against the repression of women, movement against the

severe restrictions of women's rights but this morphed into something much more, looking at regime change according to some protesters. >> nada, thank you. a drought in the u.s. midwest is causing the mississippi river's level to drop significantly in some places. some areas, hikers are able to walk to islands previously not reachable by foot. the water level has fallen so low in the state of louisiana that it revealed a shipwreck believed to be from the early 1900s. cnn meteorologist has more on the weather across the u.s. >> yes, good morning, max. the conditions across parts of the mississippi river certainly been dire. you notice just how dry this landscape has been. areas across arkansas, jonesboro in particular, dust devil across that region showing you the air rid landscape and of course the mississippi river you see some of these images where water levels receding quite a bit and you have to go back a few months here, july 22% of the state of oklahoma was dealing with drought conditions while about

half a percent of arkansas experienced drought conditions. those numbers up to 99% of oklahoma. dramatic increase in just how dry this landscape has been in recent months. good news in the last couple of days, some of the wettest weather in the country, not much, but it is some rainfall ac across portions of arkansas and oklahoma. at least a brief change in that area. now another change in store is going to be the significant cold air for a large area of eastern united states where as many as 70 record temps possible across the eastern united states and 60 million americans dealing with these temps that could get as low as 18 degrees. it's not unheard of. of course we're transitioning into the cold season, but you're going to get a shot of at least wintry temperatures for a couple of days across the region. you'll notice what happened, tuesday into wednesday, colder air, warmth right back behind it begins to push right back. the seesaw trend between warmth and cold this time of year.

in fact, looking ahead to next week, temperatures expected to be well above average across a large area of those exact same spots. atlanta depicts it well, 76 degrees, drops to 55, climbs right back up to 78 degrees. in the course of seven days. max, lots of changes and the seasons are certainly one of them that are changing in the coming days. >> thank you. now, frightening scenes as a grass fire broke out at a fall festival on a farm in texas. no one was injured, but more than 70 vehicles were destroyed. fire officials believe it started when someone dropped a cigarette on the ground. they're still investigating and looking for whoever was responsible. the area is under a burn ban because of dry conditions. the british prime minister looking to reassure the market is still in good hands. the efforts to combat the soaring cost of living here in the uk. u.s. gas prices are on their way back to up to $4 a barrel. we'll look at why the biden administration says it can

sullivan says mr. biden is reassessing the relationship between the two countries, quote, methodically. >> i'm not going to get ahead of the president. what i will say is there is nothing imminently moving now. there's time for him to have those consultations to make decisions in the best interest of the american people. he has no plans to meet with the crown prince at the g20 summit. the white house wasn't happy about the recent opec plus decision to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day, although gas prices in the united states are inching back up to $4 a gallon. biden administration officials say they're not too worried about that. >> there are still 400 million barrels of oil in the strategic reserve. it's more than half full. i think people don't quite have that capacity number in their head. we've never done a draw that's of that magnitude. and the largest draw we have ever done that president biden presided over in march was 180 million barrels.

so the fact is that there is capacity there to use the spr, to deal with some of the energy shocks we're seeing. >> another issue americans are facing nationwide is food insecurity. it's a problem that gets worse as inflation keeps rising. cnn's nadia ramiro spent a day at a church that operates a food pantry outside atlanta. they're now seeing thousands more cars than they used to. ♪ >> reporter: hundreds of families lined up for help. >> how are you doing? >> great. >> reporter: some of them for hours before this drive-thru food pantry started at new birth missionary baptistture. a suburb of atlanta over the weekend. >> you have absolutely no idea how many people are suffering in silence, having no clue as to how to feed and take care of their families. >> reporter: every saturday since january, 2020, back then just 30 cars per week. but now up to 3,000 cars a week.

>> air fryer. >> reporter: the pandemic and rising inflation providing a one-two punch on people's wallets. >> it is the pandemic and everything is going up. >> double and triple. i paid 85 cents a dozen for eggs and now they're $3. it's crazy. >> ridiculous. go in the supermarket and things get expensive. >> reporter: food prices more than alarming especially for families living paycheck to paycheck. last month, the bureau of labor statistic showing just how much staple goods will cost you this year compared to 2021. bread jumped 16%. milk up 17%. flour 23% more expensive and egg prices with the most dramatic increase up nearly 40%. inflation a big talking point on the campaign trail as we near the midterm elections. >> how to budget in a way that doesn't run away inflation.

partners like world vision. ♪ >> god, we give you glory. >> my grandmother taught me a principle that when it's family, it's not charity. >> reporter: when it comes to inflation on the campaign trail for republicans it's very simple. their message is that the rising inflation issue is the blame of president biden and democrats. but when democrats are asked about inflation on the campaign trail, many of them say it's a problem with supply chain issues and corporate greed. but we know from a recent cnn poll that this is a very important issue for voters. nadia ramiro, cnn, atlanta. china's communist leaders and political leaders gathered for day two of the 20th party congress. xi jinping opened the event on sunday, like he has in the past, laying out his nationalistic vision for the country's future. but this year is unlike any other. because after ten years in power, xi is poised to be selected for an unprecedented third term as party leader. i'm joined by steven zhang,

bureau chief and will ripley in taipei, taiwan. steven, just bring us up to date on the first day for people that might have missed it. >> reporter: yeah, max. xi jinping gave the two-hour speech and the central theme is very clear that the only way to restore china's rightful place on the global stage is by restoring the communist party's dominance in every aspect of chinese society. that's the more explicit part. the more implicit message xi jinping is the only man can do it and he has done so in the past decade of his reign. of course from their perspective, he said all the right things, for example, promising to renew economic growth by focussing on innovation. but critics have long argued innovation has been stifled precisely because of his government's sweeping crackdown on the tech industry and private industry. the sharp economic slow down due to his insistence of strict covid policy growing evidence it's not working and even though it's generating growing public

frustration or resentment towards this policy. of course if you listen carefully throughout his speech he used one-term time and again. that is struggle or fight. he talked about fighting covid, fighting corruption, fighting separatists in hong kong and taiwan and without naming the united states, fighting unilateralism. so that's also a very clear indication he's not going to back down from any of his hardline policies and positions including on zero covid. max? >> will, what are you looking for next? >> reporter: well, obviously taiwan continues to do what they've always done here which is to issue rebuttals when the communist rulers in beijing, whether it be xi jinping or others make the claim they feel is inaccurate that this self governing democracy is actually under the mainland's control and will eventually be in their words reunified. people here really take issue with the word reunify because they say reunifying would mean they were ever unified.

and in reality for more than 70 years since the civil war ended in china, they've had their own government here. and it has over the years evolved into a hard one democracy. people fought, they died for. and now people vote the leaders of this island and more than 23 million people. and even though beijing says the leaders are not legitimate and one country two systems is the model that must happen here, it continuously is rejected by the taiwanese public and by all of the major political parties here even the traditionally pro china kmt doesn't have one country two systems on their political agenda currently. they used to think that eventually there might be some sort of eventual unification with the mainland. they don't even feel that way anymore. that's how much the landscape here in taiwan has changed. but that room in beijing with all the pomp and the ceremony and the very carefully controlled scripted praise of xi jinping and his communist

compatriots doesn't ring true here. people don't identify with those people as their leaders. their leaders are the ones they choose. they say they're going to continue to make choices about their fiech, and that's why taiwan continues to bolster its national defenses, continues to bolster asymmetric defenses because they know in terms of sheer size they can't compete against a mammoth military like china's, max. but this is an island. island are difficult to invade. they're trying to adjust their military strategy, learning lessons what happened in ukraine and what is still happening in ukraine to try to potentially have to put those into action in a different model, but same concept here. of course nobody wants that to happen, max, but people are not living in a fantasy world. they know that is a distinct possibility especially given the rhetoric out of beijing from the chinese leader. >> will in taipei, steven in beijing. thank you. we'll continue to watch. still to come, palestinians bury one of their own after a

♪ the palestinian authority prime minister was in the west bank city meeting with families of militants killed in clashes with israeli security forces in recent months. comes since 2015. hadas gold is in jerusalem with more. why this uptick in tensions? >> reporter: well, max, for weeks, really months, we have been reporting on the deteriorating security situation in the west bank, and then last week up until really friday we saw that situation sort of steep into jerusalem where there were nightly clashes, especially in east jerusalem for several days.

in some of those neighborhoods and some of the areas that had been relatively quiet over the past year, and these clashes reached a level that we really haven't seen since last year. keep in mind, it was tensions in jerusalem that helped spark the 11 day war between the israeli military and hamas in gaza. but over the last few days jerusalem has been relatively quiet compared to last week. now, in terms of the west bank, though, there have been nearly daily israeli military raids. the israeli military says it's targeting militants and their weapons, but as you noted, this escalation in activities, escalation in violence including in palestinian attacks have made it the deadliest year for both israelis and palestinians since 2015 and we're only in october. there's a few months left in the year and there are concerns this situation will only just further deteriorate and spiral and escalate out of control. now, what was very unusual yesterday was to see the palestinian authority prime minister in the refugee camp.

janine is a town and refugee camp the northern west bank that's really seen as a militant stronghold. the palestinian authority has very little influence or control. he was speaking alongside the families of palestinians killed by israeli forces including militants, including i should note the father of the man who carried out a shooting attack at a crowded tell tel aviv bar in . why was the palestinian prime minister in jenin, they're trying to shore up their support. the palestinian authority has become very, very unpopular in recent years for many young palestinians they don't see pal still yan authority representing them and doing their jobs to shake off what they see as the israeli occupation. i think it's also seen as sort of potentially a message to israel.

and in his speech, mohammed talked about how he claimed the israeli military is trying to use palestinian blood for their own electoral gains because israelis are going to the elections on november 1st. from the israeli side, the israeli prime minister according to israeli military reports held a security assessment meeting to talk about carrying out a greater military operation against these militant groups in the west bank. max? >> hadas gold in jerusalem. thank you. here the british prime minister is under pressure to show the economy is in good hands. liz truss spoke with the finance minister over the weekend about the fiscal plans. jeremy hunt tells the bbc the government will have to make very difficult decisions as it aims to reassure the markets. could learn about the fiscal plan in the coming hours. hunt is expected to address the house of commons later today. he met with the governor at the bank of england and the head of the debt management office on

sunday. bianca is with us. we should make the point this has been brought forward this budget update once and been brought forward again which shows what level of crisis we're at. >> clearly jeremy hunt wants to keep communicating with the markets. one of the main criticisms people had and the markets in particular had about the way the prime minister and the previous chancellor were handling things is they weren't informed. there wasn't enough briefing about what they were going to do. that's one of the messages that jeremy hunt wants to send today. it is perhaps unusual that he's starting with a statement to the media and then he's going to the house of commons when finance ministers are discussing things like tax. very strange for them not to go to the house of commons first. but i think he's got a bit of latitude here. and speaking of latitude that he has, he hasn't moved in to downing street yet because, of course, the chancellor lives there, too, next to the prime minister. but when he does, there will be one powerful person at downing street but it won't be the prime minister because mps are calling jeremy hunt the de facto prime

minister. all the power is with him. and this push me, pull you, between prime minister and chancellor is quite natural. we always see that, but never like this. i mean, it is what he says goes. he's obviously taken this role on the condition that he's doing it on his own terms. >> which raises the question what is the point of liz truss as prime minister if she's got no authority and power? so presumably that process is being discussed in westminster as well. >> it is. relentlessly. not just that she doesn't have credibility and power, the fact she built her only platform, mandate on how to handle the economy and these principles of having a small estate, low taxes. you can't tax your way to growth. the main tenants she stood on are being dispensed with if what we have been briefed comes to be by the new chancellor. so indeed what is the point of the prime menster if all the
