watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," former u.s. president trump responds to the subpoena sent by the january 6 select committee and says that he will appear before the lawmakers but there is a catch. and a key issue that joe biden has been touting as a win could impact the midterm elections. and hospitals across the u.s. are filled with sick children. cases of a respiratory virus are surging. efforts to stem the covid pandemic could be one reason why. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. donald trump has now been officially served with a subpoena to testify before the january 6 committee. in a series of high profile hearings this year, the
2:02 am
committee documented trump's failed quest to overturn his 2020 election defeat culminating in the violent and deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. the committee has set a november 4th deadline to receive the documents it has requested with november 14th as the date for trump's deposition to begin. trump is widely expected to challenge the subpoena in court or even ignore it. we have the latest from cnn's sara murray. >> we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. >> reporter: that man, donald trump, now issued a formal subpoena from the house select committee investigating the deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. >> both for his testimony and as well as documents. >> reporter: the economies writing you were at the center of the first and only evident by any u.s. president to overturn and election and obstruct the peaceful transition of power. you knew it was illegal and that
2:03 am
your at certissertions of fraud false. they laid out efforts touting false allegations of voter fraud and firing off this twoeet attacking mike pence during the riot which the committee says incited further violence by publicly condemning your vice president. the committee calling for trump to hand over documents by november 4 and appeal for testimony november 14th. they are calling for a broad range of records including calls made by trump or at his direction on january 6. calls to members of congress. documents related to the proud boys or oathkeepers. communications about blocking certifications of election and anything on destroying materials or contacting witnesses. but it is unclear if trump will co comply. >> they really want to damage me so i can no longer go back to work for you. and i don't think that that is going to happen. >> reporter: the former president tapping two lawyers to at that time lead on responding to the subpoena and risking possible contempt of congress if
2:04 am
he ignores it. >> u.s. law is if you are subpoenaed by congress, you are expected to come in and speak to us. >> reporter: meanwhile trump and the justice department still battling over documents seized from mar-a-lago. >> they should give me immediately back everything that they have taken from me because it is mine. >> reporter: but the "washington post" now reporting that among those documents seized include some of the most sensitive information the u.s. has on two of the biggest threats on the global stage. iran and china. according to the post at least one of the documents describes missile program in iran. and other highly sensitive intelligence work aimed at beijing. trump arguing whatever fbi seized belongs to him. and according to court filings among the documents trump kept are six clemency requests and a couple papers related to immigration and border patrols. and offering a glimpse at how trump lawyers and doj are locking horns as they sift through thousands of documents.
2:05 am
>> they took it from me. in the raid. they broke into my house! >> reporter: and attorneys for trump have responded to the subpoena and accuse the committee of flouting norms by releasing the subpoena publicly but said that they will respond as appropriate to this unprecedented action. sara murray, cnn, washington. earlier i spoke with cnn legal analyst and civil rights attorney areva martin about the significance of serving former u.s. president with a congressional subpoena and how trump is likely to respond. and here is somehow she explained it. >> we know, kim, that former presidents have been subpoenaed by congress, some have actually come forward and testified. and donald trump said he is willing to testify if he can do it before a live audience, if he can do it before the committee and if it is televised. but we've heard him make those kinds of claims before. it is not likely that any lawyer representing donald trump will allow him to testify because
2:06 am
they know that he has a propensity to lie. and if you lie before congress, that would be considered perjury and he could get himself in even more legal jeopardy. so i don't think that we're going to see him testify. i think that he will run out the clock and if the republicans are successful during these midterm elections and they become the majority in the congress, we already know that they said that they will disband the january 6 committee and it is likely that they will withdraw the subpoena issued for donald trump's testimony. so unlikely that we'll ever get his testimony before that committee. form earlier trump adviser steve bannon is vowing to appeal after being sentenced to four months in prison. he was convicted of criminal
2:07 am
contempt in congress. the judge said bannon failed to show any remorse for his aekctis which led to the heavier punishment. outside the courtroom bannon still had no apologies. >> today was my judgment day by the judge. on november 8, there will be judgment on the illegitimate biden regime. and quite frankly, nancy pelosi and the entire committee. and we know which way that is going. >> the conviction also carried a fine of $6500. the judge will allow bannon to stay out of prison while he appears his conviction. a move his lawyer feels will vindicate him. here he is. >> one of the key mistakes in the case we believe is that the judge prohibited mr. bannon from putting on any evidence before the jury or even making reference to any reason for his response to the subpoena. that is that he believed executive privilege applied, that he relied on the directives of his lawyer.
2:08 am
>> the sentence was handed down just hours before the committee unveiled the subpoena for former president trump. u.s. senator lindsey graham has asked the supreme court to block a subpoena from a georgia special grand jury which is investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. the republican lawmaker filed the request after an appeals court ruled that the grand jury could seek his testimony and that his phone calls to georgia election officials are not constitutionally protected speech as he claimed. the graham request was filed with supreme court thomas who is likely to refer the matter to the full court. election day in the u.s. is just around the corner. at stake, control of congress. right now the senate is split 50/50 with vice president kamala harris giving democrats the tie-breaking vote for a majority. and this year 35 of the 100 senate seats are up for grabs.
2:09 am
and cnn estimates 12 of those are solidly democrat or leaning that way, and 20 solidly gop or leaning toward the republicans. and three states are still seen as up for grabs. in the house each of the 435 seat are in play every two years. democrats currently hold 220 seats, they need 2018 t18 to kee majority. right how it looks like republicans are slightly ahead. but 18 up to for grab so is far from a done deal. and president biden says his democratic party can pull out wins in the midterms. friday he took credit for a drop in the federal deficit and claimed that republicans would reverse those gains. phil mattingly reports. >> reporter: remarks that were supposed to be about the deficit reduction over the course of the last fiscal year, but president biden was willing to make a
2:10 am
prediction, willing to lay out some dynamics in the political landscape that perhaps he hasn't been as candid about before. take a listen. >> polls have been all over the place. i think that we'll see one more shift back to our side in the closing days and let me tell you why. we're starting to see some of the good news on the economy. it is mega maga trickle down. mega maga trickle down, the kind of policies that have failed the country before and will fail it again. >> reporter: first it was an acknowledgement that seemed clear by public polling over the last couple weeks momentum is starting to swing back towards republicans with just 18 days until the midterm elections. but the president predicting that it would come back towards democrats. we saw in the summer in large part because of the economy. something that has been a primary vulnerability for many democrats running in their districts or states over the course of the last several weeks, implicit in that comments
2:11 am
according to officials was the reality that gas prices have once again started to tick down, they see a very clear correlation between the president's approval, democratic prospects in the midterms, really the mood of the country when it comes to prices at the pump. and the president also making clear something else, that in his view, this is not necessarily a referendum on his administration or on democrats in power, it is a choice. a choice between republicans and democrats. the president has he has held smaller not major campaign rallies but smaller policy driven events over the last several weeks have been trying to make the point this they have deliver order a lot of things that the president campaign order.order a lot of things that the president campaign order. friday he talked about student loan cancellation. more than 22 million borrowers have already applied. that is young voters, young black voefrts. he talked about abortions that is women, independents. you are seeing the white house carefully calibrate those events. and they will be expanding them in the closing days leading up to the midterm elections.
2:12 am
but still very much anyone's guess how things will end and republicans have made very clear that they feel good about the current direction of things. the president however saying publicly he thinks that it will swing back their way. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. so as phil mentioned, millions of people have already applied for the student debt relief program. and the a rally friday, biden touted it as a game changer and took a victory lap after two courts on thursday dismissed challenges to the program. here he is. >> they have been fighting us in the courts but yesterday the state court and supreme court said no, we're on biden's side. >> but the president may have spoken too soon. late friday a federal appeals court temporarily blocked his initiative as it considers a challenge. looking ahead to 2024, president biden says while he hasn't made a formal decision, it is quite likely that he will make a bid
2:13 am
to return to the white house for a second tile. biden had this to say in an interview with msnbc. here he is.tile. biden had this to say in an interview with msnbc. here he is. >> only reason to be involved in public life is can you make life better for other people. i have not made that nformal decision, but it is my intention to run again. and we have time to make that decision. >> biden will be 82 years old at the next inauguration. still the president says he and his wife believe that he is doing something very important in his words. britain's conservative party is moving quickly to choose a new leader and prime minister by next week. outgoing prime minister liz truss resigned thursday amid a fallout from a disastrous economic policy. now three candidates are leading the pack to replace her. rishi sunak has reached the 100 nomination threshold as has penny mordaunt, first to confirm
2:14 am
that she is running. and british media reports say former prime minister boris johnson has indicated he plans to join the ris. salma abdelaziz is live for us in london. it would have seemed improbable, but he must be one of the frontrunners? >> what an extraordinary turn of events. just about six weeks ago that johnson had to leave office essentially declared unfit for the job by his own party. and it is now that we're talking about a boris comeback. he left his caribbean holiday, unclear if he had to cut it short, arriving in the uk any moment now. and if you are looking for a figure which is what the conservative party is looking for right now, a figure to unify this party, to heal divisions, critics of boris johnson will tell you that he is not that figure he is divisive, he is controversial. and most importantly he is under investigation. he is under parliamentary
2:15 am
investigation due to the partygate scandal, he is accused of like and intentionally misleading parliament. if somehow he did become the next prime minister of this country, we could see him having to testify to a committee within a matter of days or weeks. and that parliamentary committee could potentially lead to him being expelled or kicked out of parliamentcompletely. suspended rather. so a rather extraordinary moment here in british politics. johnson has flown back, so we expect to hear more from him today. and if he does make a bid, he will be facing two others most likely, rishi sunak, his very close ally previously, previous chancellor, someone with a strong finance history, and someone who can kind of tell the party i told you so because he called out prmg liz truss'
2:16 am
economic plan before it came to fruition. and then of course the third lesser nonone penny mordaunt, only one who made it official that she wants to run. but again each of these candidates has to get 100 mps to back them by monday 2:00 p.m. in order for them to qualify. and what happens after that is really a lightning speed process to give you an idea, the last leadership contest, the one that brought in truss, that took about three months. this will take only about a week when it is all said and done. so monday afternoon, depending on how many nominees there are, if there is three nominees, then conservative party members will hold a vote, whittle that down to two nominees and then there will be a second vote that will be the indicative vote to find out who mps really want, who conservative mps really want, but again, it is an indicative vote because if it comes down to two nominees, it will go to conservative party members. they will have online vote, this is only about 200,000 people who will get to determine the future of this country. who will get to determine the
2:17 am
next prime minister of this country. that is why you hear so much controversy around this, people saying that this party simply doesn't have the mandate to rule anymore. they should call for a general election. that is the right thing to do, that is what the labour party says, but that is not required by the rules. so what we're seeing here again a lightning speed process, a controversial leadership race and we'll see who lands monday 2:00 p.m. among the nominees. >> despite all the calls for a general election. salma abdelaziz, thanks so much. and it was a historic day in italy as georgia malode maloney oig maloney oig was officially sworn in. she is the most far right leader of the country since mussolini oig. campaigning on a promise to block my grant ships and support traditional family values and opposing lgbtq issues.
2:18 am
xi jinping's authoritarian control appears to be ironclad well into the future. sunday he is expected to be reaffirmed to another five year term as general secretary of the communist party. and at 69 years of age, he is well situated to rule china for the rest of his life. the communist national congress should reveal who emerges on sunday. and cnn's significantal went da during the closing ceremony. the man seated next to xi is the former leader. and after several confusing moments, he appeared to be reluctantly led out of the chamber. he did seem to speak briefly with xi before walking away. we don't know what was said or if there was a reply. he has reportedly been in poor health recently.

for your first prescription. officials in the u.s. are concerned over a surge of rsv. the rapid spread of the disease is reaching new levels and overwhelming hospitals. and health experts are warning parents what the symptoms could look like. >> watch out for severe symptoms and those would include difficulty breathing. if the child has wheezing or grunting, if they are breathing really fast, if their chest is actually turning in as they are breathing and also if they can't get enough fluids. very important if they are newborns and premature babies in particular because those are the categories that are the most vulnerable to severe illness due to rsv.
2:24 am
>> brynn gingras has more on the latest viral threat. >> reporter: yeah, this is a very common virus among children. what is not common is the surge that many hospitals all across the country but particularly this one here in connecticut is seeing. now, this hospital reports on average each night 15 to 25 borders as they call them for the past two weeks, that means children who are coming into the hospital or having to stay in bids typically used for freeage just because they can't get into the hospital because they are at full capacity. they have turned playrooms in to hospital beds. they are taking drastic measures to deal with the surge that they are seeing. we also got reports from this hospital that october is the first time since june that the number of rsv cases has o outnumbered covid cases among children. so extremely alarming, extremely overwhelming for the doctors, nurses and hospital staff.
2:25 am
now, to prepare for really another surge possibly of the flu on to of rsv, what this month has done is coordinated with the governor of the state, department of public health, even the national guard to kind of possibly set up a field hospital in this area where i'm standing right now if it comes to that, that they just need help and room for an influx of patients. they haven't pulled the trigger on that just yet, but certainly possible in the near future. and again, the cdc saying this is a surge that they are seeing all across the country. and any doctor will say make sure that you get your kids vaccinated with the flu vaccine to help prevent sort of the raise in the flu because rsv numbers are so bad as well. brynn gingras, cnn, connecticut. haiti is focused on the spread of a different disease as they grapple with gang violence. >> reporter: and it shows no sign of receding.

states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. a group of u.s. lawmakers says ukraine can count on u.s. support no matter who wins the upcoming congressional midterms. three members of the house intelligence committee met president zelenskyy in kyiv on friday. head of the delegation of connecticut said it was important to show support in a bipartisan way. representative mike turner, a republican from ohio, said the u.s. help will keep coming even if congress changes hands next month. u.s. secretary of state says washington is open of advancing diplomacy with moscow, but blinken added that so far russia has shown little interest in dialogue. here he is. >> we consider it and will consider every means to advance diplomacy if we see an opening to advance it by whatever means. wor of course we'll always look at it, but in this moment russia is
2:32 am
showing no signs. >> and earlier he had spoken with his russian counterpart for the first time in months and emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication. large parts of ukraine are without electricity at this hour following a barrage of russian strikes across the country. energy infrastructure was the target again which knocked out power from southern to western ukraine. and that is as ukraine is raising alarm over an alleged russian plot to blow up a major river dam. if destroyed, that would cause not only major flooding downstream but also possibly safety risks at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. for more, nic robertson is joining us from kyiv. what more do we know about the attack and the bigger attack that they fear might happen? >> reporter: today some ukrainian officials are saying that the number and range of russian strikes could be as great and impactful on the
2:33 am
energy systems as about almost two weeks ago when russia first began that very heavy targeting of electricity infrastructure. the air defense systems here have been working in odesa in the south, there was an intercept of an incoming russian missile, although officials in odesa say that strikes did get through to a power station that some parts of the region there are without electricity. we know 11 different regions are suffering blackouts including kyiv, it is on to its sort of third round of air raid sirens today and during the previous round missiles were intercepted near a power station in kyiv. nothing impacted here. but that is not the picture in some of the smaller cities across the country where russia seems to be trying to punch holes in the air defense
2:34 am
network. and some of the smaller town, five in the west of the country, their electricity infrastructure has been hit. residents are warned that water supplies may not get through, to conserve electricity, so there are shortages in the center of ukraine. they say they are doing everything they can to get everything back up on line, but the continuing offensive is attrition and wearing down the country's capacity to rebuild and repair very quickly. and of course that potential blowing up of a dam in the south of the country near kerr kherson
2:35 am
where they have explosives on the dam that if they blow will take vitally needed water forle coming. and of course that would affect the electrical in the country. it isydroelectric power plant there. so the infrastructure to keep the country running is very much under target and today more so than the previous couple of days. >> and one of the other big worries from ukrainian perspective, belarus moving its equipment to its border. so what does that suggest and how serious a threat could that pose? >> reporter: of course belarus is being used right now to launch cruise missiles fired in to ukraine. and so belarus is in the fight. but its border is not being used
2:36 am
as a point of invasion. and the complication, if you will, for the ukrainians is that they have offensives in the east of the country and in the south. and they will need to draw forces away from the ground that they are taking in the areas south and east and redirect it to the north. so it is a distraction there if you will. and two weeks ago, lukashenko the president of belarus signed a joint agreement with vladimir putin that they would form a joint force. what the ukrainian authorities say they are seeing is russian military equipment and personnel supplies being brought into belarus and closer to that border. so that is a concern as well. >> appreciate the reporting. nic robertson, thanks so much. hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in southwestern iran bring, three weeks after dozens were killed in bloody friday protests. police reportedly arrested
2:37 am
nearly 60 people as protestors chanted death to the dictator. nada bashir is following the developments. so many deaths and even more people detained. what is the latest? >> reporter: the crackdown by iranian security forces on the protests taking place up and down the country is continuing. but these demonstrations are persisting despite the violence that we are seeing at the hands of the iranian regime. we've already seen calls circulating on social media for a mass uprising, protests up and down the country including today we are hearing reports of a heavy presence by the iranian security forces in anticipation of another day of mass protests. and of course the crackdown is continuing to intensify. we've seen at least a dozen kills, varying figures being reported by human rights organizations, by local journalists and of course by the official iranian authorities. but according to one human
2:38 am
rights organization, they have beental lig tallying the deathd they say it is over 200 and including 27 children. and real concerns for those being detained by the iranian authorities. the figure is estimated in the thousands. and it is not just the number of people being detained had is quite staggering, but it is of course the treatment that they are facing. we're hearing reports of protestors being detained without a warrant, often by police officers in disguise. some even being detained while seeking treatment at hospitals and clinics. and there is a real concern of course that many describe as not having access to a lawyer, not being able to call family or friends, and some saying that
2:39 am
they have not been able to track down their loved ones. so this is a real cause for concern. and of course we are seeing that crackdown intensifying. but despite this, these protests are continuing and we've seen strike action in parts of the kurdish region in northwestern raf raf iran as well. so it is gaining momentum. >> nada bashir, thanks so much. in canada, a freeze on the sale, purchase or transfer of handguns is now in effect, part of the country's efforts to crack dubown on gun violence. >> from today forward, it is no longer legal to buy, sell, or transfer a handgun in canada. we have frozen the market for handguns in this country. and a ban on imports that took effect in august remains in place. this is one of the strongest
2:40 am
actions we've taken on gun violence in a generation. >> under the new rules existing gun owners will still be allowed to use their registered handguns. the government is also granting some exceptions for certain businesses like museums and the movie industry. just ahead here on "cnn newsroom," a humanitarian crisis in the making. >> i'm in somalia will thousands of families have come having seen drought destroy their lives and we see the face of that catastrophe unfold. deadly drought lethal to livestock, hunger rising, families famished. the risk of disease all around. >> famine in somalia and millions of --

one child is being admitted for medical treatment due to malnutrition every minute in the country. extreme hunger is surging among children displaced by drought and conflict in the sub a hairian country. earlier this year humanitarian groups found that out of 98,000 children between the ages of six months and five years respect 59% were suffering from acute malnutrition. james elder is a spokesperson for unicef and he is joining me now. are you in nairobi, but you were just in somalia. tell me about what you saw there. >> pretty harrowing scenes, kim, to be honest. women who have walked with children, young children, sometimes for like 200 miles, days and days. some of them buried their children on the way, some make the cruel decision which of my little boys or girls do i take with me and who do i leave at home to look after their grandfather. and so as you say, the drought,
2:45 am
climate crisis induced drought, they have seen livestock december a a december matsed. and that is their livelihood. we are talking about deva devastation. they are out of options. they welcome any help that they can get. and some don't make it to unicef. and moms bury their also ones on the way. >> and you speak of drought. the country is used to seeing drought, but why is it so severe now? >> good question. very simply, we can link it straight to a climate crisis. this is now worst drought in almost half a century. whether the pakistan floodses or what we're seeing in nigeria, somalia certainly now we're seeing the impact of a changing climate. we're seeing the excesses of lifestyle for many parts of the world now being paid for by the world's poorest children,
2:46 am
children who don't really have a carbon footprint. and if government and big businesses don't fulfill their promises, stop saying one thing and doing another, stop lying, it is a climate crisis that will head all corner of the world. income will only protect people for a time. not forever. >> all of this made worse by the security situation, some of those forced to relocate have to run the gauntlet of al shabaab mill tanitants as well. and agency which is get money from the u.s., required to make sure that their aid doesn't fall into the hands of these terrorists who happen to control large parts of the country. so how is all of that complicating the situation? >> super difficult place to work. i mean, i was there for a week and sometimes you have no choice but to have armed securities and you are in a flak jacket going around in places and you have a

limited amount of time. sometimes 60 minutes, 90 minutes until wheels up as they say, get out, because that is how long it may take for a phone call and suddenly al shabaab is there. unfortunately the united nations humanitarian workers, my colleagues on the frontlines trying to reach hundreds of thousands of children for malnutrition, they are at risk. the u.n. has become a soft target. it is disgusting but you've got to care for those people on the frontlines. so that is the challenges. most critical one is making sure aid doesn't go to them and of course the umbrella of that as a colleague said to me, ensuring that humanitarian staff don't get beheaded. >> absolutely. the projections for this situation are staggering. what could happen if more isn't done? >> mass deaths of children. unfortunately in these places, and no one will ever get used to

2:49 am
reality and relevance of russia's invasion of ukraine and what is happening to ukrainians. but of course global food prices are spiking. the world's attention does get distracted. people just want to catch their breath after covid. but there are arguments that these children's lives when they had no responsibility on what is happening to their climate, but in practice as well, you know, world bank tells us get to a child with severe malnutrition a month earlier, you will increase that child's income going through their entire life. so practically and in terms of morally, there are so many reasons to act and the money is there, the world does have the money to act on these and other crises. >> absolutely. well said. and we'll have to leave it there. but thanks so much for your work. appreciate you coming on. james thanks again. we'll be right back.
