6:00 am
the american lung association, and the coalition for clean air support prop 30. yes on 30. just into the "cnn newsroom," the last jobs report before the midterms shows the
6:01 am
u.s. economy added some 261,000 jobs in october, the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 3.7%. that jobs figure lower than the month before, however, still higher than economists had forecast. cnn chief business correspondent christine romans joins us to break down the numbers. you always say wisely the trend is your friend. so what do these latest numbers show us about the trend in the job market and is this what the fed was looking for? >> so first i would call this resilient but slowing the rate of job growth here. 261,000 net new jobs added, you know, that is a strong showing in any economy, but the trend is important here. we're averaging about 400 and change a month this year and this is the slowest pace of job creation in almost two years. so still strong, still resilient, but starting to slow here. the government noting that that unemployment rate has been stuck in this 3.5 to 3.7% range since
6:02 am
march. it's still stuck in that range, even after six months now of the fed raising interest rates. one wonders at what point does the job market really start to appreciably slow because of all of that fed medicine. it might be that it just hasn't hit the job market quite yet. when i look at sectors, for example, i see broad-based gains in the economy, leisure and hospi hospitality, manufacturing, in a lot of different areas here. so i think the important thing is to just take a beat and look at this number and put it in context with the numbers we've seen the past few months. it is the slowest, again, in, you know, about 20 months, but still strong underlying strength in the labor market. >> christine romans, we will keep watching the trend. thanks so much. >> you're welcome. and we should note we will get reaction from labor secretary marty walsh in the next hour. today marks the final day of early voting in several states with the midterm elections just four days away.
6:03 am
right now across 46 states more than 30 million americans have already cast their votes. several notable names are crisscrossing the nation for candidates in this final stretch. biden wakes up this morning in california, he's headed to chicago for a political reception tonight. biden along with former presidents trump and obama will make stops in pennsylvania, a crucial state this weekend. this as the pennsylvania democratic senate candidate john fetterman picks up a big name endorsement from someone who actually helped make his opponent a household name. you might have heard of her, the other big race we're following is in georgia republican herschel walker closing the gap with his democratic opponent, senator rafael warnock. first, however, former president donald trump on the trail in iowa, now making headlines not about these midterms but his own political ambition. cnn chief national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny on the trail in sioux city where we are learning more about the former
6:04 am
president's possible timeline. jeff, what do we know? >> reporter: jim, good morning. former president donald trump was here in iowa last night kicking off a series of rallies going into election day and we are now learning this morning that his team is eyeing the week of november 14th as a possible time when he could announce a third bid for the presidency. of course, et cetera' been hinting at this for weeks if not months. he he's been planning for this behind the scenes and clearly wants to ride what they believe is going to be a republican wave next week in the election. they are looking at the week before thanksgiving, potentially the week of november 14th. this is all fluid, again, depending on how next week's midterms go. but take a listen to the former president last night here in iowa as he framed his decision coming up. >> in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, i will very, very, very probably do it again. okay? very, very, very probably.
6:05 am
that's nice. well, get ready, that's all i'm telling you, very soon. get ready. get ready. >> reporter: so the question really coming out of this is if he would announce in november is that going to essentially scare off any republican contender? is that going to change the minds of any really in a long list of republicans who are eyeing a bid of their own like former vice president mike pence, florida governor ron desantis, former u.n. ambassador nikki haley. there is a long list of people also considering a run. would president trump's run -- or announcement, you know, sort of slow the field? we will see about that. but, jim, this weekend very interesting, sunday in florida the former president is hosting a rally in miami, not invited was florida governor ron desantis. he is hosting a competing rally
6:06 am
in the tampa bay/st. pete area. the dynamic between those two certainly something to keep an eye on. mark your calendar potentially for the week of november 14th for a potential third bid for the presidency. never mind the fact all the investigations and other things still looming out there. mr. trump sounded last night to me like he is going to jump in, jim. >> does it clear the field for some? does it encourage others? potentially republicans or make them more likely to run against them. thanks so much. turning to the state of georgia one of the most closely watched senate races cnn national correspondent dianne gallagher is in atlanta. diane, tight race there. we've seen them before in georgia for those senate seats. where do things stand this morning? >> reporter: and we're seeing them sort of get their message out today, especially because it is the last day of early voting in the state of georgia. they have seen record-breaking numbers in this state for those who are coming out and either voting early in-person like the people you see lining up behind
6:07 am
me here or voting by mail absentee. according to gabriel sterling with the secretary of state's office 2 million 261,000 just over that have already cast ballots in the state of georgia and typically in early voting the last day of early voting tends to be a very robust day with lots of people turning out. the candidates out on the road doing those bus tours essentially both walker and -- both walker and kemp off the trail briefly yesterday as they attended the private funeral of former georgia national championship winning coach vince dually, but have since tried to make up for that time. kemp on the road with chris christie today, you talked about the surrogates hitting the trail. his opponent stacey abrams is touring the state on her bus tour working to basically get out that final message as people here in georgia make those decisions. now, according to the secretary of state's office they do anticipate seeing robust turnout
6:08 am
today and seeing that people are going to come out and vote. they say they should go ahead and look and make sure that they are, you know -- they can check the wait times ahead of time, they can can check to see how long to wait, but again, by the time the polls close today they will have early voting numbers in-person finished, people can send in and bring in their mail-in ballots and at that point it is officially rushing to the finish line for these candidates who, again, warnock and walker are in a statistical or virtual tie at this point with polling showing that warnock may have a slight lead but, again, within that margin of error. >> very tight polls in so many states right now. dianne gallagher, thanks so much. another tight race in pennsylvania. senate race there, the democrat john fetterman received a major endorsement from oprah inn free just overnight cnn is on the trail. >> i'm jessica dean in montgomery county, pennsylvania, and the closing days of the most expensive senate race in the country. democrat john fetterman and republican mehmet oz both
6:09 am
hitting the campaign trail today crisscrossing the commonwealth and oprah winfrey weighing in with an endorsement in this race, endorsing fetterman because she made mehmet oz a common name. >> if i lived in pennsylvania i would have already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. >> reporter: oz saying he respects oprah and is seeking to bring balance and less extremism to washington. >> our thanks to jessica dean for that report. joins us now cnn political analysnual seung min kim. >> margaret, i believe axios has reporting that former president trump will announce sometime around the second half of this month another run for the white house. what does that make the republican race for the nomination look like? >> good morning, jim. yes, my colleague jonathan swan reporting that news this morning that november 14th is the target date and it's a very interesting
6:10 am
question, an important question you are asking, a lot of republicans are concerned that there could be a negative trump effect. president trump, former president donald trump banking on the opposite, banking on republicans having a victory, big victory starting on election night on tuesday and then him being able to take credit for putting them over the top and then him riding that to announcement that would preempt d ron desantis. it's a high stakes moment. if getting in there early breaks the wave he will face blame for that but he's betting that's not what's going to happen. >> hard to predict any election, a couple years out trump did lose as an incumbent, a rare thing to do. would his nomination -- his race and if he gets the nomination would that be a good thing or bad thing for the republican party? >> well, it will certainly be one major factor that president biden who is the person who beat donald trump in 2020 will be
6:11 am
watching as he makes his own decision because there has been a lot of chatter within the democratic party about whether the president -- president biden should run for a second term. it is a decision that he will make with his family in the first part of next year, but it's been very clear that if president trump -- or former president trump does announce and gets back in, that's going to motivate joe biden even more to run, despite the concerns from his own party, despite the fact that he is turning 80 years old next month. he sees himself as the only person in 2020 and perhaps in '24 who could beat president trump at that point and certainly that's going to play into that calculation. whether that's good or bad for the republican party, i mean, they feel very good that joe biden is a weak president, that he is beatable, so we will just have to see. >> yeah, no question. listen, trump has his possible challengers within his own party, biden might have his own challengers within his own party. margaret, we do have another election before 2024, the crucial midterm elections i think it's four days away.
6:12 am
let's look at overall fortunes here now because you do have democrats appearing to defend what would normally be pretty solid blue territory and as we look at president biden's schedule, he's going to places where you think they would be in the bag. what does that tell you about where things stand nationally for the democratic party going in? >> we've been watching what is predicted to be a republican wave building for several weeks now and it's really about the economy. that's what all the polling tells us and even the numbers today which are actually relatively good, you know, in terms of jobs numbers doesn't change the fact that inflation and gas prices are still the drivers of a lot of these anxieties. president biden is trying to go to places where he can help and do no harm and where he can message around things whether it's in san diego or whether it's in new york, upstate new york like semi-conductor, like manufacturing, like how to put the u.s. ahead of china, like reducing the cost of prescription drugs, these are messages that resonate with working class and middle class
6:13 am
voters and with seniors, those are two important components, but the bottom line is there are places where his presence would not be helpful in the closing days and that's why you don't see him there. i want to just mention the obvious, this rally, the dueling rallies on saturday in pennsylvania, it is both perhaps a look ahead to the 2024 race and a look back at past elections. a look back at 2020. it is this weird like rematch, future match moment and i don't know if it's going to move the needle for any voters in terms of how they're going to vote, but to see obama, biden and trump all duking it out for pennsylvania as a pivotal state tells you everything about this kind of moment that we are stuck in, you know. >> seung min, looking at the issues, right, economy certainly at the top of the list of voters in virtually every poll you look at here, abortion rights has dropped as a voting issue at least in that poll -- in those
6:14 am
polls. is it possible the polls are missing the continuing interest in this issue? i suppose put differently, is it likely that an issue that was very much at the top of many voters' minds and by the way reflected in some of those provisional races we saw, the vote in kansas, that it is already faded so much as a voting issue in these midterms? >> right. we can never put too much stock in polling whatsoever, but i think that it's the reaction to how much abortion has been a motivator has varied where you are in the country. if you are a voter in michigan and abortion is literally on the ballot there perhaps that is much more of a motivating factor than in a state perhaps nevada where abortion rights are already protected in the state constitution and perhaps the democrat in that senate race hasn't been able to make too much of a dent against the republican because at least in that state abortion is still legal and accessible. but i do think certainly
6:15 am
anecdotally speaking nationwide abortion has faded largely as a major motivator and as a top issue and i do think, again, not putting too much stock in polling, but all the issue polls show that economy and inflation remain at the top. >> and you make a good point. listen, all politics is local, state by state we can see different outcomes. always good to have both of you. still to come this hour a cnn exclusive, iran now asking russia for help to boost its nuclear program which could many fear lead to a nuclear weapon. what we are learning from u.s. intelligence officials. plus, thousands of twitter employees will be checking their email in a few hours to find out if they still have a job. the new boss elon musk executing mass layoffs, already facing a lawsuit over it. also ahead, president trump follows through on running in 2024, could have big implications for ongoing justice department investigations. cnn has learned there are active discussions inside the doj on whether they will have to appoint a special counsel. a good look at our new

6:20 am
this morning employees of twitter are watching their email inboxes closely to see if they have a job or not. new owner elon musk begins making mass layoffs today, notifying workers by email. cnn has obtained a memo sent to employees just last night it said, quote, if your employment is not impacted, you will receive a notification via your twitter email. if your employment is impacted, you will receive a notification with next steps via your personal email. tough ones to open. cnn's senior media reporter oliver darcy joins us with details. i understand a in response several twitter employees filed a class action lawsuit. what's their case and argument here? >> it's a tough day over at twitter. we are already seeing employees post on the website that they have been locked out of their work devices, presumably because they are going to be impacted by
6:21 am
these mass layoffs, which are under way this morning at the company. and i should say, though, that the twitter employees they're taking this in pretty good stride despite how difficult the situation is. a lot of them are posting under various hashtags, reminiscing basically on their times over at twitter. so kudos to the tweeps as they call themselves for taking this in good stride. to your point about the lawsuit, elon musk could be in some hot water for how he's executed these layoffs. there are obviously laws that govern how employers can just conduct these mass layoffs and there are federal laws as well. the warren act, for instance, requires that employers at the size of twitter provide some advanced notice to employees if they are laying off a certain number of them at a specific site, which certainly appears to be the case today over at twitter. and so a class action lawsuit
6:22 am
has been filed. the attorney leading this charge she told cnn in a statement, i will read part of it, elon musk the richest man in the world has made clear he believes complying with federal labor laws is trivial. she says, we have filed this complaint to ensure that twitter be held accountable to our laws and prevent twitter employees from unknowingly signing away their rights. all that said, jim, it's going to be a very, very difficult day over at that company as these layoffs are under way. >> a lot of families impacted. oliver, thanks so much. in a new cnn exclusive sources say the justice department is now actively discussing whether a special counsel will be needed to oversee the multiple federal investigations into former president donald trump. that is if he announces a 2024 presidential run. the doj is also staffing its investigations with experienced prosecutors in preparation for any decisions made after next week's midterms. paula reid has been following
6:23 am
this for us. what more are you learning? how far along with these plans? >> well, jim, traditionally in the weeks leading up to an election the justice department is supposed to observe a so-called quiet period where they don't make any overt or public moves in politically consequential cases. boy, do they have a pile of potentially politically consequential cases. not only are they overseeing an investigation into president biden's son, also two investigations into the former president, as well as multiple investigations into high-profile members of congress. but we have learned that behind the scenes the justice department has been working and planning to try to figure out how to handle some of these cases, among the things being discussed is the possibility of appointing a special counsel to handle the two investigations into former president trump, those include one into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election as well as an investigation into the possible mishandling of classified documents at his mar-a-lago home. now, it's important to note, jim, as we've seen with other
6:24 am
special counsels, a special counsel does not insulate the justice department from political attacks. we saw that with special counsel robert mueller's investigation into trump/russia connections in 2016, john durham's investigation into the russia investigation because, again, these special counsels they report ultimately to the attorney general. now, in addition the justice department has been staffing up with experienced prosecutors and behind the scenes they've been using grand jury subpoenas and secret court battles to compel witnesses to testify in those trump probes and we expect that after the midterms as the national focus kind of shifts to the 2024 election, that alone could really put pressure on federal prosecutors to speed up their ultimate decisions on whether they're going to file charges in any of these high profile cases. >> we'll see. it's been with deliberate speed as they say so far. thanks so much. still ahead, more than 4 million without power now in ukraine. president zelenskyy calling

6:30 am
creating a nuclear weapon. according to u.s. intelligence sources telling cnn tehran may be looking for a backup plan should a lasting nuclear deal with world powers fail to materialize. cnn white house reporter natasha bertrand is covering. this of course significant on a number of levels including the fact that russia was a party to that nuclear deal before the u.s. pulled out of it. i mean, in specific is russia not just iran considering a major change here? >> reporter: that's the big question right now. we don't actually know how russia has responded to this request by iran to help bolster its nuclear program with additional nuclear materials, nuclear fuel fabrication, things that could help power its nuclear reactors. experts say that it depends on which reactors this fuel is used for in terms of the nuclear proliferation risks. very technical stuff there. but the bottom line is that russia and iran's partnership is expanding and it's worrying u.s. officials and u.s. allies just because of the shear amount of areas where we have seen russia and iran begin to cooperate in
6:31 am
recent months, including of course in ukraine where iran has provided russia with hundreds of drones to use there. so the bottom line right now is that according to the u.s. intelligence that was described to us iran has been looking for a backup plan should nuclear talks fail. they want a contingency plan, a deal with russia, a side deal with russia that allows them to reconstitute their nuclear program quickly if they have to. and this is not only if the nuclear deal fails, of course it seems very far out of reach right now, but it is also in the event that a nuclear deal somehow goes forward. they believe that there is still a high risk that even if a deal is struck then a future administration could simply pull out of it and sanctions could be reimposed and iran would be left where it is. so right now the officials are watching it closely. we were told by the national security council spokesperson that they will work to counter any cooperation between iran and russia that they deem counter to their counter-proliferation efforts but ultimately, you know, it is not something that they are going to be able to
6:32 am
address immediately just because of the shear, you know -- the way that u.s., russia and iranian relations are so, you know, hindered right now, jim. >> no question. in crisis. natasha bertrand, thanks so much. here to discuss this and more on ukraine, ukrainian journalist yulia men dell the former spokesperson for volodymyr zelenskyy. good to have you back on this morning. thanks so much. >> thank you for having me, jim. >> first i want to talk about what we were just discussing that reporting this increasing relationship between russia and iran and ukraine has certainly felt the effects of that with these iranian drones wreaking so much havoc on ukrainian soil and civilians and infrastructure there. how is that impacting the war for the ukrainian people? >> it's definitely very concerning that autocracies keep united and become strzokker in this way because they can develop some new maintaining weapons or nuclear deal or, you
6:33 am
know, anything else which can pose a threat to the world. what we see on the ground that we can wake up from the sound of explosions and then figure out that they are kamikaze drones right above kyiv attacking residential buildings, playgrounds, parks. you know, i saw this terrible video of a ukrainian girl hiding under the table and saying that she saw a robot that wanted to kill her. this is the reality in which our kids are growing up right now and we are trying to deal with this, we are trying to adjust and we are trying to ask for the air defense to kill these air drones that are, you know, just -- just killing ukrainians. >> close the sky as ukrainians have been saying for months now. this is clearly -- i don't want to call it a new strategy by putin but perhaps a doubling down on a strategy given that he can't win on the battlefield, his forces being pushed back
6:34 am
there. he appears to want to bleed the ukrainian people, the country further. can ukraine withstand that? >> actually, this is such a losing strategy when russian army is being defeated on their battlefield, they keep attacking the civilian infrastructure, civilians, trying to blackmail us, to kneel somehow to russia, to agree for the way russia behaves here, all those terrible actions what russia is doing to our people, to our infrastructure, to our cities, but what i see here people don't have any step back. like we are really -- feel that we have high morale here and the more putin attacks us, the more we feel resilient and stronger. let me say that right now we are sitting here with a lot of blackouts. in kyiv there were 450,000 residents who woke up to know
6:35 am
that there is no light. personally i had blackout finished only 30 minutes ago. yesterday i didn't have light for ten hours. we also have lack of water and lack of heating because putin destroys our infrastructure. at the same time we are very angry and it's not any decision to collapse or to give up to putin. so we feel stronger that we can win in this war. >> let me ask you this, because there is some criticism inside this country as well, we've heard the pleas from ukrainian officials for some time but criticism that the biden administration, the u.s. while it's giving many weapons it's not giving them quickly enough and you mentioned, specifically, for instance, air defense systems. is that help coming too slowly for ukraine in the face of this? >> well, let me say that this terrible russian war changed the policies and politics around the world and all the countries needed to adapt and we are very grateful to the united states
6:36 am
that they stand with us almost shoulder to shoulder helping with the weapons, with intelligence, what is they important and with differing types of instrument and, you know -- different types of equipment that can be helpful to ukrainian soldiers and volunteers here on the ground. so right now we just hope that the bilateral support to ukraine will stay as strong as it is now after midterm elections. >> final question if i can, you've been well aware of the nuclear threats that both in rhetoric and hints, et cetera, that the russian president and other officials have made. what is the ukrainian level of concern right now that russia will follow through on such a threat? >> actually, it's huge because we see that putin does not have any limits. he is so aggressive and so angry and he is aimed to destroy
6:37 am
ukraine so much that we don't know what can stop him. today he told that there is -- to evacuate people from kherson. this is my hometown, this is my home region and i'm very much concerned because we don't know, maybe they want to do something terrible there. actually, this is the same what we heard yesterday from a pro russian collaborator who is appointed there as an authority and he said that something terrible is going to happen there. while we also have heard from the u.s. intelligence that russian military leaders were discussing usage of nuclear tactical weapons and we are afraid maybe he would like to use a tactical weapons there. but also let me remind that there is the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that is fully under control of russians and they shell there and they control it and we are really afraid what's going to happen there. so this threat is realistic and we are all concerned about it
6:38 am
here. >> that's right. an attack on that plant could be a nuclear attack of another type. we wish you luck and safety as well. >> thank you for having me. still ahead, wall street is reacting this morning to those new job numbers. look, it's up nearly 400 points, just over 1% as the latest jobs report shows the u.s. economy added jobs in october, though fewer than the previous month. we are joined next by the president of the world bank for an outlook for not just the u.s. but the world economy. they say you eat with your eyes first, so here's a good look at our new thick n fluffy french toast.

let's take a look now at how markets are reacting to the latest jobs report. the last one before the midterms. you see them up there 300 points or so, just about a percent. the u.s. economy added some 261,000 jobs in october, unemployment ticked up slightly to 3.7%. that job gain was slightly more than analysts predicted, it was, however, the slowest job growth in this country in almost two years. joining me now david malpass, he is president of the world bank. thanks for taking the time this morning. >> good morning, jim. >> first your read on those numbers. it was higher than some economists had forecast, but still slower than the previous month. do you see in those numbers and other trend lines a slowing u.s. economy? >> i think there is some of that and so bad news is good news for the equity market for the moment. that's all i can see there. looking into 2023 we have to
6:44 am
find a way to have a lot more g gdp, a lot more production in the u.s. to help the u.s. and the rest of the world. >> as you look at these interest rate rises, you've had four in a row now of three quarters of a point and you even had the fed chairman jerome powell say that the path to a soft landing is narrowing in his words. do you see that as well, that these interest rate hikes might indeed tip the u.s. economy into recession? >> i think that's possible and, you know, we are looking and worrying about a world recession in 2023. the u.s. is a little stronger than other economies, so that's okay, but the challenge here is probably interest rates were too low for too long. i say probably, but that's clearly the case. and so they're trying to catch up and move them to neutral and so that process is under way, but it means a long reprising of
6:45 am
global assets which is the middle of what we are in now. >> i do want to talk about the repricing of assets. when you look to the economy, supply chain issues, china's economic slowdown of course the debate here frames it as a party versus party issue, but as a president of the world bank what is actually driving a slowing of the world economy? >> that's really important. so it's the energy realignment that's going on from the russia war and also then the severe slowdown in europe, including the uk, and also now china is doing another lockdown. so you've got quite a few parts of the advanced economies outside the u.s. that are really slowing down. and i have to say the biggest hit is on poor people around the world, wherever they are, they're feeling inflation and they're feeling the rate hikes and for the developing countries
6:46 am
they're feeling currency weakness which pushes up commodity prices there as well. >> those sound like forces that politicians in this country or any individual country can't really move that effectively. is that right? >> no, i think each -- especially the u.s., it's the world's biggest economy, can produce a lot more. if you say is it possible for the u.s. to produce 5% more? yes. could it produce 10% more energy? yes. and would that help the world? absolutely. it would be a massive benefit. so it's really important as we're in this inflation, stagflation spiral that we've highlighted and worried about, that we get out of it as quickly as possible. you can think of a goal being how do you get to interest rate neutral as low a level as possible so that it causes less damage for the world? >> so you're talking about increasing production in this country. what's the plan, what are the
6:47 am
steps that would be needed to do that? >> every day trying to help and allow small businesses to get access to capital, that's one of the problems. the whole system is set up to really concentrate capital at the top and that's not really the people that create attractive jobs and new jobs, innovative jobs for young people. in the "washington post" this morning i saw that geothermal project that's being blocked in nevada, that's energy that is needed. as you look just day by day, there's one story after another of things that are -- that are not -- that are being done that block production rather than enable it. >> final question just because you brought it up before and that is just about assets worldwide. we've already seen the stock market come down, although it's come up off its lows, but as you mentioned ten years of very loose monetary policy, low interest rates, quantitate testify easing, et cetera. prices increasing for everything, including people's
6:48 am
homes. watching right now are you saying to folks at home and then folks more broadly that the world is in for a bit of a bubble burst? is it too strong to say that? >> i don't think too strong. i call it a repricing that means some prices have to go down quite a bit but the big challenge for the poor, for developing countries is that that long period is at a point where they don't have enough money for health care, for climate, for education. one of our big worries has been the back sliding on education because of the school closures. and so these are core issues and i call it a crisis facing development. if you look out and say you're going to take four years to reprice assets, that puts a huge burden on developing countries and the poor especially. >> no question, four years is a long time, too. david malpass, i do appreciate the conversation this morning. >> thanks, jim. still ahead this hour, suspension then an apology.

in that film. so brin, you have this not a settlement but a donation or an agreement and then you had the league act. so where does this all stand. >> it is quite a week for kyrie irving and the net franchise. they had an agreement that would each, the nets and kyrie irving, give $500,000 to the adl. but then kyrie irving went for it and said this. >> i didn't mean to cause any harm. i'm not the one that made the documentary. i cannot be anti-semitic if i know where i come from. >> playing the victim in that press conference after that agreement was made. well that really pissed off the nets. so what they said, basically, in a follow-up statement was that he really wasn't learning anything and that he had multiple chances to apologize and he didn't and he was really just unfit to be associated with the nets franchise, suspending him for least five days. and then the adl said, that
