hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm christina macfarlane in london where the country is waiting to see who will become the nation's third prime minister in less than two months. i'm rosemary church in atlanta where we are following the latest developments in the u.s. midterms. voter turnout already hitting record highs, but political divisions running deep . well, here in london we could soon learn who will be the next leader of the ruling conservative party and the new prime minister. one thing is clear, it won't be boris johnson. he announced on sunday he won't be entering the tory leadership race, though he claimed he had enough support to move forward. that narrows the field to former

finance minister rishi sunak and penny mordaunt. the conservative party today will announce which candidates had reached the necessary number of nominations and whether a vote will follow to determine the next leader of the party and the country. whoever comes out on top will be britain's third prime minister in a matter of weeks after liz truss stepped down on thursday. cnn's scott mcclain is following all developments and is joining us live from outside 10 downing street. and scott, johnson says he had the 100 votes but chose not to stand, as he couldn't guarantee the unity. his withdrawal is likely going to be key for, in particular, penny mordaunt to reach that 100 vote mark. even though it is considered that sunak is definitely the front-runner here. >> reporter: according to the british press association, rishi sunak, undoubtedly the front-runner. the former chancellor has the public support of more than 140 mps.

of course, there may be plenty more who are privately supporting him but haven't said so publicly. while penny mordaunt has the public support of less than 30. so there are still a few different possible scenarios as to how this race ends. but the fact that boris johnson is no longer in it undoubtedly changes the calculus for everyone involved here. as you mentioned, boris johnson says he had the support to not only get into the race but also to win it. but he says, quote, over the course of the last days, i have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do. you can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament. therefore, i am afraid the best thing is that i do not allow my nomination to go forward and commit my support to whoever succeeds. i believe i have much to offer, but i am afraid this is simply not the right time. clearly there leaving himself or leaving the door open for a possible leadership run in the future. he also says that he met with both rishi sunak and penny

mor mordaunt. the accomplish press says likely boris johnson trying to convince either of the two to step down in exchange for a prominent role in his future cabinet, or perhaps vice versa. in the statements that have now come out from rishi sunak and penny mordaunt, perhaps, depending how you read them, hint that boris johnson may possibly be part of cabinet. so rishi sunak said he hope is that he continues to contribute to public life. penny mordaunt put out her own tweet in response so johnson's dropping out race. quote in taking this difficult decision boris johnson has put country before party and party before self. he worked to secure the mandate and the majority we now enjoy. we should put it to good use, and i know he will work with us to do so. so as i mentioned, if penny mordaunt gets to 100 mps, that means still this afternoon, all

of the conservative mps in parliament will vote for their preferred leader. at that point if neither her nor sunak has dropped out of the race, this will go to a vote of the party membership online. if she fails to reach 100 votes, and you can bet she is trying hard to win over as many boris johnson voters as she possibly can at this moment, that theens am will effectively be a coronation for rishi sunak. >> i think for either candidate, managing boris johnson within cabinet is certainly going to be one of the challenges either wil will face. rishi sunak, we know, largely predicted liz truss' budget would fail. as chancellor we know he steered the british economy through brexit. he will now face the most enormous economic challenges. talk us through the entree he would have as prime minister. >> reporter: this was one of the big things during the leadership race over the summer that rishi

sunak painted himself as a realist, someone who understood the financial realities that this country was going to and realized tax cuts were simply not going to fly in this kind of an economic environment. he reluctantly said at some point that there would be tax cuts, but only when the financial realities actually allowed for it. and he correctly predicted, as you said that liz truss' policies of tax cuts, even those for the richest in society and corporations, would have disastrous implications in terms of inflation. and that seems to have played out. he is coming into this job undoubtedly with a lot of credibility when it comes to managing the finances of this country and getting the economy back on track. but he has some pretty eye-watering decisions ahead of him. that's how the current chancellor, jeremy hunt, described the challenges in trying to get -- to balance the books in this country. rishi sunak has baggage coming

into the job. he has some scandals that have plagued him from when he was chancellor. case in point, his wife, her tax status, she's not a british citizen. she had nondomicile tax status, which saved her millions in taxes. she's an extremely wealthy individual. he also held a u.s. green card residency permit up until late last year. and of course, he himself was also fined for taking part in parties that took place while this country was under lockdown during the pandemic. >> yeah, we'll be interested in seeing how all of that plays out with his popularity, not just in the party, but also the public as well. scott, i know you're going to be keeping close eye on things as we go through the morning. thanks very much for joining us for mouse. the last time britain held a general election was in 2019. after johnson's term ended in scandal and truss' short premiership, calls are growing for a new general election. cnn's anna stewart went to a car

boot sale and spoke with britains about the political crisis. >> reporter: gravy boats and biscuit tins. this is a typical british car boot sale. much like the american garage sale or the french flea market, it's an opportunity to sell unwanted items and buy something old. one person's trash is another person's treasure. the great thing about a british car boot sale isn't just what's for sale, it's what's the topic of conversation tort week? that's an easy one today, another prime minister has resigned. >> the lady one is -- what is -- >> truss? >> yeah. yeah, i don't even remember her name. >> reporter: given miss truss was only prime minister for six weeks, she may not be well remembered. but her impact on the pound and the economy at large may be. some have ideas of who should come next. >> boris johnson in the wings, no, thank you.

rishi sunak? he knows what he's at. he's a calm character. obviously i'm supporting him. >> reporter: others aren't so sure. >> they can't be any worse tan what we've had, can they? you know? they can't be any worse than what we've had. >> do you think at this stage we should have a general election? >> yes. got to have one, haven't we? i mean, this is a joke. you know, it's a total joke. we're the laughingstock of europe. probably the rest of the world. you know? >> caller: an opinion shared by many. >> everyone seems to think the obvious thing is have a general election. the politicians keep faffing about and keep the power in their hands. >> a general election so people can say what they want. >> we can't keep having thousands of different prime ministers. such a small group of people. i feel a bigger voice is needed. >> reporter: the last four prime ministers have resigned.

it sounds like a broken record. the conservative party is running short on trust and possibly time, with growing calls for a snap election. anna stewart, cnn, london. >> reporter: i'll have much more from london in a few minute easy time. for now, back to rosemary. there were biblical storms in the uk overnight. i think kind of echoing the mood here as we wait to see what comes next. >> most definitely. it has been incredible. we'll see what's next. and we'll have you with us very soon, thanks so much, christina. just over two weeks to go until the u.s. midterm elections. and right now, democrats hold a slight majority in both the house and senate, but that may change if the latest polls are any guide. inflation and the economy are at the top of voters' minds. a new nbc poll shows more than three-quarters of both major parties view their opposition as

a political threat to democracy. u.s. president joe biden has a busy week ahead. he will attend a democratic party reception with vice president kamala harris on friday. then on november 1st, just one week ahead of the elections, he'll be in south florida for a democratic national committee rally. the white house says the president is making the visits that matter most. >> both president obama -- i was here, i'll share responsibility for it -- and president trump got walloped in the midterms. i don't think it should surprise anyone we're not using the tragedy that failed in 2010 and the strategy that failed in 2018. what you're seeing is the president's traveling the country with democrat candidates, elected officials, and talking about the issues that really impact people. in the state of georgia, there's been massive voter turnout during the first week of in-person early voting. cnn's nadia romero has more.

>> reporter: record turnout here in georgia for this midterm election. we're outside a polling location here in dekalb county, and at this location alone the poll workers told me may in the first two hours of voting, they saw 200 people come in. that just speaks to the excitement of people wanting to get out and make sure that they cast their ballot. let's look at those statewide numbers. across the state of georgia already more than 740,000 people have voted. and we saw a dip when you look at saturday compared to friday. saturday only about 80,000 people voted compared to more than 140,000 on friday alone. still, those numbers are quite impressive, especially compared to 2018. we know that people want to come out and vote, and that voter turnout is really record-breaking at this point. there are still some concerns about voter insecurity, voter fraud, voter integrity. we spoke with an election official about how they're working on that in this county. take a listen. >> we are excited to see so many

of our voters coming out in historic numbers during advance voting in georgia. so we are processing record numbers. when we compare it with is last midterm in 2018, we're outpacing those numbers for sure. we're here working 365 days a year to prepare for operating efficient and safe elections. and so that's what we're doing. and that's what they'll see. >> reporter: voters tell me that they're being driven to the polls by key issues like abortion, inflation, and immigration. but also key races like georgia's senate race that has national attention as well. nadia romero, cnn, dekalb county, georgia. >> earlier i spoke with political analyst michael genevese about changing voter trends and asked what issues

were making waves ahead of november, how they could potentially shake up congress. >> you know, six months ago it looked like a runaway for the republicans. a red tsunami. two months ago, the democrats kind of caught up. in the last few weeks, the issues have become more focused on things like voters' concern about inflation, crime, immigration. those have really become the keys. for the democrats, the big issue is, of course, abortion. that looked like, a year ago, it was going to be a hugely important issue for turnout. less so now because a lot of the suburban women who want the to vote for democrats because of abortion issues now are saying, wait a minute, it's the economy, it's inflation, it's pocketbook issues. >> right. of course, inflation, the economy, crime, as you say, top issues for voters. so what's likely to happen in the senate when it comes to the critical battleground states of nevada, arizona, pennsylvania, and georgia?

>> a lot there depends on the quality of candidates. donald trump is not literally on the ballot, but a lot of his hand-picked candidates are. for example, over half of the republican nominees for positions this time are election deniers. and so a lot is going to depend on whether voters are concerned with national concerns with donald trump, or local issues and local candidates. pennsylvania, a good example, you've got really tight races. governor, but even more so senate. and it's going to be turnout. you mentioned turnout. that's going to be the port thing. the enthusiasm gap, if there is one, could turn the tide in the election. >> what do you expect to happen in the house? >> i expect in the house -- if past is prelude, the president's party loses about 25, 26 seats in the house and 5 in the senate. my pick right now is the

democrats will lose about 20 in the house and maybe 1 or 2 in the senate. that doesn't sound like a lot, and it's better than historical standards. but remember, if that happens, republicans win control of the house and the senate, and therefore, president biden will not be able to get legislation through. he will have to govern more as an administrative or managerial president. >> many thanks to michael genevese. still to come, western officials slam russia after an unfounded claim on ukrainian weapons. why some western officials believe it's an attempt by moscow to escalate the war. later, we'll head back to london for the latest on the race to become britain's next prime minister. so it's really a special moment to know that i had d a family member who over a hundred years prior have walalk these ground.

the u.s., uk, and france are joining ukraine in rejecting an unsupported claim from russia that kyiv may use a dirty bomb. russia's defense minister made the claim during calls with his western counterpart is, including the u.s. defense secretary.

but ukraine says it's an attempt by moscow to escalate the war. >> translator: if russia calls and says that ukraine is allegedly preparing something, it means one thing. russia has already prepared all this. i believe that now the world should react in the toughest possible way. if russia has prepared another round of raising stakes and another escalating step, it must see now, pre-emptively and before it's any new dirt that the world will not swallow that. >> meantime, russia appears to be losing more ground in the kherson region. ukraine says are pulling back from their positions near a strategic river, with a frigid winter fast approaching. ukrainians officials say russia is increasingly targeting critical infrastructure, cutting off access to power, water, and the internet for thousands. for those who remain in the

country, that means major changes to their daily routine, to either conserve energy or live without it. >> translator: we live this way because of the frequent strikes by the russian federation on ukraine. almost every day, electricity is cut off. therefore, sometimes we have no water for two, four, or even six hours a day. we can't work, even remotely. >> president zelenskyy said last week that around one-third of ukraine's power grid had been knocked out, and another official says at least 90% of the country's wind power is destroyed. let's get more from cnn's nic robertson in kyiv and clare sebastian in london. good to see you both. nic, russia continuing to target ukrainian civilian infrastructure and power stations, which is a concern, of course, with winter setting in. what is the latest on the impact of these attacks? >> still having an impact.

repairs are under way. the difficulty with some of the repairs is, the equipment that's been destroyed is quite large. and in some cases, large transformers that are on the sort of outside of the power generating stations, and therefore vulnerable. these are large and complex, so it's not as easy as reconnecting a couple of wires. when this is happening in multiple places, as it is, it eats into the country's capacity to find replacement transformers. that's the challenge for the repair workers. and president zelenskyy is nightly praising them for their efforts. but russia, the ukrainian officials believe, are systematically targeting the weaker spots. the bits that are exposed outdoors to these strikes. they say that they believe that they're working -- the russian military's working hand in hand with russian power engineers to do this strategically. a couple of examples, ukrainian

officials say, in one area it was the power supply to a coal mine. and there aren't many coal mines left working in ukraine at the moment. the power supply to a coal mine that was hit, which means that mine can't produce coal. and so many of the power plants in the country rely on coal. so it's a systematic effort to take out the supply network and the resources to actually generate the electricity. so the warnings continue to come from the government. conserve, don't use high-powered items, don't use them during peak hours in the evening. the reality of those blackouts for many people, far hours without power, six hours with, four hours without. and the example you were giving there, many people left, because of that, without water and, of course, heating. >> it is a critical situation. and clare, moscow alleges that ukraine plans to use a dirty bomb on its own territory. how is the international

community responding to this accusation? >> reporter: rosemary, with a high degree of alarm. i think any mention of any nuclear activity by russia raises the stakes. in the west, the ministers who he spoke to in their country's openly calling for russia not to use this as a way to justify escalation. and perhaps made more dangerous, these comments by how implausible they are. ukraine does not have a nuclear weapons program. it voluntarily gave up its soviet-era weapons in 1994. in addition to the readouts of these calls with the british, the u.s., the french, and the turkish defense ministers, we then got a joint statement from the british, the american, and the french ministers in the early hours of the morning european time. this is what it said. it said, our countries made clear that we all reject russia's transparently false allegations that ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its own territory. the world would see through any attempt to use this allegation as a pretext for escalation.

we further reject any pretext for escalation by russia. the other part of this is the calls themselves are unusual. the russia defense minister is not a regular on the diplomatic circuit, he's more behind the scenes, that's his style. four calls in one day, two calls with his us counterpart in three days, this is highly unusual. taking that with the situation on the battlefield where russia has already escalated attacks as nic was talking about, on the power grid, this dangerous situation brewing in the south of the country in kherson where the ukrainians and the west allege that russia has mined a critical dam there. i think you are already seeing signs of escalation, and this just raising those concerns. now we're getting into the ninth month of the war. >> indeed. nic robertson, clare sebastian, many thanks to you both. students marched and demonstrated across iran sunday

this comes days after liz truss stepped down as prime minister after only 45 days in office. the potential return of boris johnson as prime minister had split opinions within the conservative party. cnn's bianca nobelo has this. >> reporter: former prime minister boris johnson has ruled out taking another shot at number 10 last week. after intense speculation that johnson would run in the tory leadership contest to replace liz truss, who resigned in ignominious fashion to become britain's shortest-serving prime minister, johnson released a statement sunday evening confirming he would not. johnson claimed he'd reached the next threshold of 100 mp support and said he'd been overwhelmed by the number of people who suggested that he should contest the leadership. again, johnson said he was attracted to running because he'd won a big election victory back in 2019 and said that he

believed he was uniquely placed to avert a general election in the short-term and win big for the party in 2024. he acknowledged that there was a very good chance that he would be successful if he stood and the election went to a vote of party members. but he said that sadly, he came to the conclusion that, quote, this would not be the right thing to do. you can't govern effectively unless you have a united party. intriguingly, johnson said he'd reached out to contenders rishi sunak and penny mordaunt to see if they could work together in the national interests, but said that sadly, they couldn't work out how to do that. then tantalizingly for johnson's supporters, in his final remark he said that, i believe i have much to offer, but i'm afraid that this is simply not the right time. bianca n oobolo, cnn, surrey. >> reporter: joining me in

london is tim bale, professor of politics at queen mary university of london. let's discuss how johnson's withdrawal is going to play out. we have not yet heard from the mordaunt camp about anything to do with her dropping out. one presumes that mordaunt is trying to pick up enough supporters to secure that 100 vote count. how much of a moral dilemma is that going to present to mordaunt? if she reaches that, we know she would potentially go through to the members who may end up picking her over the will of the mps here. >> well, i might regret saying this, but i don't think there's very much chance she will pick up sufficient nominations to go through. i think it's fairly clear now that the momentum is behind rishi sunak. i think many of those who might have thought of moving across to mordaunt will be thinking now about jobs under rishi sunak and will be more likely to break for him than for her.

there is still some bad blood towards sunak among those who resented his role in ditching boris johnson. but i think most people can now see the writing on the wall. >> we know, of course, sunak predicted the fallout from liz truss' mini budget. and if he is going to be the next prime minister, as you say, we all expect that to be announced later today. is he going to be skillful enough to navigate the fractious conservative party on the one hand, and the financial markets on the other, who of course demand fiscal security? >> well, that is a very good question. rishi sunak was promoted to be chancellor of the exchequer without relatively little high-level cabinet experience. he did quite well in the beginning as chancellor. obviously his job was made slightly easier in the sense that he was the chancellor during covid, he was giving out

lots and lots of money which lots of voters, and indeed, lots of his mps, fellow mps, liked. he's in a much more difficult position now. we also know from the row over his wife's nondom status and his own green card problems that he isn't necessarily the most thick-skinned or skillful politician. i think this will be a big test for him. he's stepping into a very big job, and i'm not sure that he is necessarily the right politician to do it. but let's see. >> i just want to get your thoughts on that. as the idea of sunak being this unity candidate, as you mentioned, he's been held responsible by many of johnson's supporters for bringing about his downfall earlier this summer. how likely is it that he's going to be able to unify the party, and how much time do you expect the party are going to give him in order to do that?

>> well, conservative party has cycled through a number of leaders recently. it doesn't seem prepared to give leaders very long. on the other hand, i think most mps realize now that the party really is in a very deep hole, and unless they hang together, as it were, they will be hanged separately. i think there will be a lot of mps, even those who were perhaps unhappy with rishi sunak in the last few months, they will be prepared to give him a chance. i can't imagine that it will be possible for the conservative party to roll the dice once again before the next general election, whatever boris johnson may imagine. so i think it's really rishi sunak or bust, as far as most conservative mps are concerned. >> we've heard this morning that the founders rallied that sunak is the potential front-runner. we've heard jeremy hunt has come out in support of rishi sunak. how important is that as we look

ahead to this budget that's due to be announced monday? >> oh, i mean, that is really, really important. i mean, i think most mps would see jeremy hunt remaining as chancellor of the exchequer, the sin qua none of keeping the markets happy if he is giving his endorsement to rishi sunak -- i think that confirms really, for most of us, that rishi sunak has won. there may be some delay on that statement, but there may not need to be if, as we assume, sunak is in post. i think the combination of both of them will calm markets. the conservative party certainly better hope so. calming the markets is one thing, impressing voters is quite another. and given that the conservative party, they may get a pounce with sunak replacing truss, will still be a long way behind the opposition labor party. i don't think by any stretch of the imagination that they are

out of the woods yet. >> yes, rishi sunak is going to have to fight on multiple fronts here. tim bale, great to have your thoughts, thank you for joining us. and much more from london in our next hour. right now, let's toss it back to rosemary church at cnn center in atlanta, rosemary? >> wonderful, thank you so much, christina. we'll look forward to seeing you at the top of the hour. more now on the upcoming u.s. midterm elections. we're just over two weeks from a deciding vote that could shift the balance of power in congress. early voting is under way across the nation, and many democrats are worried that republicans could win both the house and senate, as inflation becomes the top issue for many voters. senator bernie sanders says democrats should take cues from the republicans on economic policy, take a listen. >> i am worried about the level

of voter turnout among young people and working people who will be voting democratic. i think, again, what democrats have got to do is contrast their economic plan with the republicans'. >> one issue on many young voters' minds is president biden's student loan forgiveness plan. it was supposed to start sunday, but a federal appeals court paused the program while it reviews a legal challenge. cnn's camila bernal has details. >> reporter: it may take a little longer, bud cody is expecting one-third of his student loan to be forgiven. >> light at the end of the tunnel. >> reporter: he's referring to president joe biden's student loan forgiveness program that would cover $10,000 of his student debt. because while he's been out of college for nine years, he still owes $30,000. >> i recently married. me and my wife are going to be thinking about purchasing a home. so it's all of a sudden kind of

right in front of me again. because i'm thinking about the kind of debt i have, and i need to finance my future and get a home. >> reporter: but while the administration was expected to start granting loan discharges as early as sunday, a federal appeals court put a temporary administrative hold on the program. a move being argued in and out of the courtroom. usc professor diegal said while all his students supported the program, he asked for different perspectives. >> relative to defense spending and the overall government budget, the annual cost is not huge. but it's going to be a burden on current taxpayers. >> reporter: he says if the goal is to help low-income families, the government should instead invest in, say, early childhood education. as an economist, diegal says he thinks short-term loan forgiveness will only make inflation worse. as a professor, he believes

long-term, this will make the u.s. more competitive. >> we need people with skills. and the way to get it is in higher education. >> reporter: and it's that education that he says got him to where he is today. now the executive director of the student debt crisis center, a nonprofit focused on ending the student debt crisis. >> for me, the open door was to take on student loan debt, even though it's created unnecessary challenges. we've had to -- stress and all that. but my future is brighter nonetheless. >> reporter: now he's not only waiting for his loan forgiveness but fighting so that others can also get the relief. >> my dream, my vision for a better america in the future, is one where my kids don't have to consider student loan debt. >> reporter: it will take at least a couple of days for this legal process to play out. but people are still applying for this program. cody in the storytelling me it took him one minute to complete

his application. he hopes that one minute could translate into a significant portion of his loan to be forgiven. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. republican congresswoman liz cheney says she expects former president donald trump to comply with a subpoena and testify before the house committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol. the committee formerly sent its subpoena to trump's attorneys last week ordering trump to turn over documents by november 4th and give deposition testimony before the committee beginning about november 14th. cheney says the committee will treat trump's testimony with great seriousness. >> it will be done with a level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves. we are not going to allow -- >> a spectacle? >> he's not going to turn this into a circus.
