welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the

world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is the final weekend before the critical midterm elections in the u.s. we'll tell you what big names are focused and who seems to be resonating with voters. >> tornadoes are wreaking havoc in southeastern u.s. at least nine touched down in texas. we'll have more in a few minutes. >> and a crowd sourcing campaign like you've never seen before, how people in the world are helping ukraine in its war with russia. the january 6 investigation, the u.s. president's domestic agenda, abortion rights, voting rights are all on the line as americans prepare to vote tuesday in the midterm elections. candidates across the board are pulling all the stops in the final week of campaigning.

president joe biden will be in illinois with a message on lowering prescription prices and shoring up medicare. and then he'll head to pennsylvania. the president sounded optimistic. here he is. >> i know you always ask me how are we doing. we're going to win this time around, i think. i feel really good about our chances. >> now, biden isn't the only political star hitting the campaign trail this week. in the hours ahead, he will rally with former president barack obama in pennsylvania for the democrats' senate nominee, and later donald trump will hold his own event for the state's republican nominee. and over the next few days we'll see more rallies from florida to illinois where vice president kamala harris is also society to speak. according to forecasting models from 538 and the economists, the senate races in georgia, nevada, and pennsylvania, they're so close they're considered s

toss-ups. it's important to remember these models are predictions. vote tallies, are, of course, what counts. here's cnn's reporter harry enten. >> let's start in arizona. barely ahead. no clear leader there. go to georgia with the latest maris college poll. a dead even race, 49-49. georgia, there's a special rule there. you need a majority of the vote. if no candidate gets the majority of the votes, that means a runoff in december. finally in pennsylvania where john fetterman is taking on member ed oz, we have two different polls, one that shows fetterman up by six and the other that has them tied, so who really knows. >> both of those senate

candidates may have been taken by surprise after an influential celebrity made an unexpected endorsement. cnn's jessica dean has more. >> reporter: we're now in the final days before the 2022 midterms, and this is the most expensive, most watched senate race in the country here in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, and candidates, the democrat, john fetterman, republican mehmet oz have shown an edge in a tight race in pennsylvania. for john fetterman, that came with an endorsement from oprah winfrey. a lot of times celebrity endorsements don't move the needle. the fact that she would endorse fetterman over oz said a lot. she made oz a household name and certainly had him on her show many time, backed his show. for his part, dr. oz in his campaign saying he respects oprah. and then pivoting to this message of being really a

moderate, of trying to wheed out extremism in washington, we're just outside where oz had a rally here in wexford, pennsylvania, and that was part of his pitch to voters tonight. they need to be talking to their democratic friends, independent friends, and bring them to his siechld we're going to get star power over the weekend as former president trump rallies for the republican candidates and former president barack obama rallying for the democratic candidates, jessica dean, cnn, wexford, pennsylvania. with us from london is political science professor thomas gift, the director of the center on politics at the university of london. let's start with the big picture. what led to this point with the democrats in trouble, the republicans looking acen danlt. first it was red wave and then

it seemed to change. polls suggested democrats were surging, i guess, doing better than expected. the red wave talks were sort of overblown. but now it seems as though regular election gravity has reasserted itself. so what happened between that hopeful interlude for democrats and now? >> well, i think, kim, it's all the economy. it sort of started out the economy. then some other issues percolated, and it's back to the economy again. that's really the story of the election and what's going to dominate. while i don't think inflation by itself is going to sink democrats, it's really a problem they haven't been able to solve. first bind said inflation was going to be transitory. now he's trying to blame other cul culprits. there may be some merit to all of those justifications, but polls show voters are upset. all of this, i think, was skpaser balted to some exstent

by the policies that they pushed or at the very least the policies they put forward like the inflation reduction act. it's true unemployment remains low, 3.5%, consumer confidence is still fairly high. so there are some countervailing pressures on it. they're going to get scapegoated, and i think that's what this election is going to be about. >> absolutely. one of the dynamics, i imagine, is the democratic voters don't seem to want to reward the biden administration and party for what they have done, but the very same victories are motivating republicans to the polls, is that right? >> i think that's certainly true to an extent. it seems like there's a progressive wing within the democratic party. joe biden has a cincinnati that's split 50-50. any legislation he's going to get through is going to meet a

compromise. we saw that with some other policies the administration has put forward. but despite that, there's some that always want more, and they think, well, democrats hold the senate, they hold the house of representatives. we should be able to get through what we want. that's really not the reality. at the same token, some of these big spending items, some of the focus of the administration has certainly angered and in many cases outraged republicans, so they're certainly united against this administration, and so for biden, that's reflected in relatively low poll numbers and about the 40%, 41% range, and it's just a real drag on the parties as a whole. >> you wrote a piece about five ways about the convectional wisdoms the midterms is wrong and one of the statements you make is abortion will be a game-changer. why has that proven to be false? >> i think at the outset, democrats really thought they

had a galvanizing issue. there was a lot of momentum in the wake of the dobbs decision. ultimately i think some of these issues don't rank highly in the priority list of democrats or republicans. so it's relatively low salients. this is sort of part of a broader point. democrats tend to have tunnel vision around certain voting rights. i think that's a strategic error. my perception of the democratic party, leaders try to tell voters what they should care about. in this case one of those is abortion. typically the priorities are those of only strong progressives. they don't represent the views of most americans. the trump followers look at inflation, immigration, crime,

et cetera, and that's why the tide has turned in their favor. >> one of the tides has been the huge swing among specifically white suburban women, which is usually a huge influential demographic. the swing has been from the democrats to republicans. is that that the women abandon ed president trump or what's going on. >> you might think some of those voters would be ones prioritizing the abortion issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. i think in many respects, the female voters are reflecting a broader trend. again, to try tp gp back to this issue of the economy and inflation, it's hitting everyone in rural areas, suburban ban areas, and i think that's going to dominate, and to the a large extent, i would attribute that trend to inflation. >> it's going be fascinating to

watch. i appreciate your analysis. thomas gift in london. >> thanks, kim. remember to join us tuesday for the special in-depth coverage which will determine control of congress. that starts at 4:00 p.m. eastern time, 9:00 in the evening in london. well, have a look here. a frightening sight for people in a number of states. more than a dozen todays were reported late friday across oklahoma, arkansas, texas, and that number could increase in the coming hours. officials in oklahoma say at least one person died in the storm, and they're searching for possible missing people. at least ten people were injured in lamar county, texas, after a tornado touched down there. let's get the latest from cnn meteorologist karen maginnis. those pictures are really frightening. what more can you tell us? >> yes. typically people don't think about tornado season extending into these fall months, but, in

fact, this is the second peak of the tornado season, the peak being during the springtime months. now we see the second peak going into the late fall days. we've already had eight reports of tornadoes, most across northeastern texas and oklahoma. i want to show you pictures coming out of sulphur springs, texas. this is in northeastern portions of texas and a number of cities here. here, they had reports of damage and injuries here. also in the area around clarksville and honey home. also reported a tornado there as well thchlt looks like a roped style tornado. there are typically five types of tornadoes. you can't really judge the intensity of these just by how they look. we did have a report of a fatality. that near ida bell, oklahoma. this is near the vicinity of

broken bow. that's just about in this vic vicinity. but that's not exclusive to there. we saw reports extended over if into arkansas and also louisiana. now, because some of that daytime heating has ended, we did see the return of warm flow come in. still capable of producing heavy downpours, lots of lightning, potential for some hail. just to give you an idea of dallas, the temperatures soared to some 80 degrees. but in amarillo, texas, it was sno snowing. we talk about this clash of air masses, and, indeed, that's what we've seen here in the past 24 hours. as we go into saturday, it looks like for birmingham, maybe a slight chance for showers in tlachbl but we start to see this weather system kind of fall apart. that will be the good news, kim, because no more severe weather. we don't need that as we go

toward the weekend. back to you. >> no, kidding. thanks so much. officials say the tornados left widespread damage. we're getting new video into cnn. this is in eastern texas. you can see some houses were demolished, roofs blown off, people's belongings, furniture strewn apart. at least 50 homes were damaged. people are grateful to be alive. listen to this. >> as soon as it happened, i started going to the houses looking for people, making sure nobody's in them and stuff. i've talked to all of our neighbors. everyone that was home is safe. that's the main thing. >> and, of course, after they take stock of the damage, then the tough task of cleaning up begins. russian president vladimir putin went to a moscow landmark to talk about the main flashpoint in ukraine.

still ahead, what he said about the situation in kherson and why he chose to speak at the bread square. and the fight with russia one tap on a cellplphone at a time. stay with us. stion? betttter. cough? fever? better. ugh, bummer. stuffy nose? better. feelings of inadadequacy? impending doom? yeah, i'm not your therapist, man. mucinex all in one relieves 9 symptoms in 1 dose. with mucinex, it's not cold and flu season. it's always comeback season. two new ihop lunch and dinner menu items for twice the goodness, twice the flavor, and twice the choice sirloin salisbury steak and . perfect for lunch or dinner. on at ihop. download the app and en free food with every rchase. the face of millions of germs zapped in seconds. the face of clean. the face of whoa.

another 400 million dollars worth of u.s. military aid will soon be headed to ukraine. national security adviser jake sullivan mentioned the package on friday. it includes dozens of refu refurbished tanks, drones, and missiles. it's all been made clear ukraine can count on more u.s. help, and not just with weapons. here he is. >> we laid out how we are thinking about making sure that the resources are there for continued security assistance, continued assistance to help power ukraine's economy, continued isis tans to help repair its energy grid, help with ref you needs and other human titarian needs there, ande

will get votes from both sides to make that happen. >> in the south, a top pro-russian official is describing the stay as calm before a possible storm. he said ukraine may be pushing for a push for regaining the city, but the city itself is calm with russian forces still in control. russian president vladimir putin went to an iconic place in moscow to talk about forced evacuations of civilians in the occupied areas. >> reporter: there are indications that both sides are gearing up for this very strategic region of kherson. i want to start by explaining there are tough reporting provisions. we're gleaning information really here from the reports that we've signed in the last 24 hours, which are essentially --

i'm going to pull up that map to show you the battleground as i talk through the updates. you see the geneva river cutting right through it, all of that area russian-occupied. ukrainian officials say russian officials on the ground are forcing them back. they're destroying any water crossing equipment, they're burning any boats that they find, that they're basically shooting at anything along that river to gain full control of it. we also saw social media video that shows an airfield on fire north of the city of kherson. as well, ukraine for its part says that these are forced evictions and russian forces are taking the homes of people along that area and using them as bases as they prepare for that fight. president zelenskyy for his part has promised to win back the lands for ukrainians no matter the cost. very interestingly, kim,

president putin himself commented on the battle for kherson yesterday in bread square. listen to what he said. >> translator: of course, those should remove themselves from the dangerous fighting. they should not suffer from any fighting or other offense actives relating to military operations. guys like you are doing everything to get people to the safe zone, thank you very much. >> it's very rare, kim, to hear president putin kind of get into the details if you will about battles. that is significant, that sound you heard there. he was going to red square to lay flowers for national unity day. here's the thing. nothing is going to change overnight, kim. this is going to be an extremely difficult battle. presiden president putin is not going to

back down and he believes that part of ukraine belongs to russia. kim. >> all right. salma abdelaziz, i think you so much. during world war ii, war bonds and victory gardens helped defeat tyranny. ukrainians are trying to crowd fund their way to triumph. >> reporter: amidst tumbling leaves, she takes her kids out to play. hard to imagine three weeks ago a russian cruise missile slammed into this park. cnn's fred pleitgen was there reporting on a massive new barrage of attacks. a colleague was injured. it motivated her to do what she's doing more and more, donate to crowd funding.

>> do it quicker and more and more. >> reporter: in her family, they've been donating for months. >> all my family, even my mother and even my daughter from her savings, we sent money, and we didn't tell each other. >> reporter: it turns out they're not alone. putin's recent assault on kyiv has drawn recent outrage. this man helps run a government app simplifying donations. more than 18 million users so far. >> so, for example, i make selections, and the next step, i can pay this by apple pay. >> and you've now given $2 more or less to the economy of drones torsion buy drones. >> yes. >> reporter: the stats of the big attack shows putin

miscalculated in thinking ukrainians would not fight back. >> maybe bigger, four, five times more than the day before. >> the attacks made people give money. >> yes. >> with your help, we can put drones in the sky at the same time. it would look like this. >> reporter: crowd funding that began with the war is really taken off, drone donations particularly popular recently. some military units promoting the impact of donations. in this case, a drone that drops a bomb on russian troops. >> here is the main place where we collect all the technique equipments, walkie-talkies, drones, and all the other stuff. >> reporter: their warehouse, an alladin's cave. >> huge. it's like screens from the commons post. >> reporter: donations buying much more than just drones, the

shelves filling off the attacks of putin's attack spikes. >> we've collected about $400 million. >> that's a massive amount of money. >> for ukraine, it's a massive amount of money. >> reporter: big money. government officials estimate hundreds of millions of dollars across all crowd-funding platforms. >> do you mind the money goes -- might kill russian soldiers? >> you know, they occupied my country, they come here and try to kill my chirchlt why should i care about that. >> reporter: winter and more air strikes are coming, but, so, too, a ukrainian windfall putin ice troops will reap. nic robertson, cnn, kyiv, ukraine. former president donald trump gets more time to submit documents after failing to comply with the initial request

from the january 6th committee. we'll have more of that story straight ahead. and the leader of the oath keeper's group is expected to be back on the stand on monday. we'll have the sometimes bizarre testimony in the seditious conspiracy case. stay with h us. nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol didisinfectant spray. lysol. w what it takes to prote.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is c"cnn newsroom." the upcoming elections in the u.s. will command control of congress. it will likely come down to four races, arizona, nevada, georgia,

and p.a. mark kelly has led in all publicly released polls, and the outcome says it tilts toward democrats. catherine masto controls. and in georgia, senator raphael warnock is in a tight race with republican herschel walker. in pennsylvania, the battle between democrat john fetterman and republican mehmet oz is considered a toss-up. a u.s. house committee investigating the attack on the u.s. capitol has expended the deadline in which trump to is forward his documents. they received correspondent connected with the s&p from trump's legal team. didn't explain what that correspondence was. the new deadlines for documents is no later than next week, and the former president

remains under subpoena to provide testimony beginning november 14th. earlier i spoke with jessica levinson, host of the passing judgment podcast about the new deadline for the documents and i asked her if she was surprised by the committee giving trump an extension, because it basically allows him to run out the clock on the democratic ma jofrmt here she is. >> i think they're looking at the electoral clock and they understand this committee is going to be dissolved in november, so to the extent they can get anything from the former president, i think they're seeing it as a win. they didn't give him limitless time. they gave him basically a few more days. i think they're hoping they can get some useful information, and they also want to show good faith, that they're trying to agree to allow him to comply as much as he's willing to, and then they still can consider legal options. >> do you think they actually will get anything from him? it seems doubtful, no?

>> that's the big question, as to whether or not they get anything. the fact that he's talking at all, the fact that he's interacting we them at all is a sign that maybe they will get something. my guess is it will be a small sliver of what is actually response irv to the subpoena. at this point we're talking about documents, be there is also that november 4th deadline for testimony, and the former president has not ruled that out, but it's difficult to manage that he actually would appear and answer questions. >> you can see more of our conversation coming up next hour. former trump aide steve bannon has filed notice of appeal, challenging his conviction firefighter contempt of congress. he was sentenced to four months in prison for failing to show up for the january 6th selection. he failed to turn over documents. bannon is currently free, awaiting the results of hi his appeal. the yale educated lawyer who

runs the oath keepers is expected back on the stand on monday in his seditious conspiracy trial. stewart rhodes says his group brought weapons to the washington, dc, area, in case an antifa mob tried too drag trump out of the white house and trump asked for help. his testimony was emotional but surreal. >> elmer stewart rhodes iii took the stand and seemed to be his own character witness at the very beginning. he was clearly trying to impart to the jury his kinder, softer, jenltd letter side after the weeks of this jury hearing the opposite, often violent, angry political rhetoric from rhodes, whether it was in text messages or signal messages or only some sort of app. also they heard secret recordings of him talking about all manner of things in a violent way. they saw some of the words he

used, talking about a civil war coming and bloody battles might have to ensue to stop president-elect biden from being able to take office at the time in the lead-up to the january 6th capitol attack and even after the attack, but rhodes on the stand put on a big show of emotion initially. he choecd up at least three times while talking about his life and his beliefs. he billed himself as a non-violent person, a love fer of america, a believer in the constitution, a fighter for what's right, about protecting black businesses in ferguson during the uprising that was sometimes violent there, about giving lgbtq -- members of that group, giving them the aublt to protect themselves. he choked up talking about the death of his mother, a ceremony that was held after he formed the oath keepers in 2009. there seemed to be a real strategy here that the defense is trying to show his gentler

side when the jury has seen quite the opposite throughout the prosecution's case. remember, this is the second person to testify in the defense's case. we also heard a new wrinkle from rhodes about his thoughts on the 2020 election. prosecutors showed the jury early on this open letter he wrote to president trump that anyone could have read at the time before the january 6th attack on the capitol, firsthand that open letter, he asked president trump, he basically demanded or begged president trump to invoke the insurrection act and not to concede to president-elect joe biden. but when mr. rhodes testified on the stand in his own defense, he explained it differently. he said that he did not believe that donald trump nor joe biden won the election in 2020 because in his mind, he said, the presidential election itself was unconstitutional. and he made clear to the jury in some ways, some people believe he was a constitutional law

expert, that he was a yale trained lawyer at one point. those points were made to the jury. what was not said is that rhodes was disbarred in 2015 for conduct violating the montana rules of professional conduct. that has not yet come in, but rhodes has not finished testifying. he will continue testifying on monday. sara sidner, cnn, washington. san francisco's district attorney says the police and fbi have a, quote, successful interview with paul pelosi, the husband of us house speaker nancy pelosi shortly after he was attacked last friday in his home. the pros dutier tls cnn pelosi had good recall of the events that night and was able to convey those details to the investigators. he's back home after being in the hospital being treated for a skull frac jury and other injuries. on camera, nancy pelosi spoke for the first time on camera. here she is. >> thank you, thank you, thank

you for your kind words, your prayers, and your good wishes for paul. it's going to be a long haul, and he will be well. so tragic what happened, but nonetheless, we have to be optimistic. he's surrounded by family, so that's a wonderful thing. >> pelosi's alleged attacker waved his appearance in court on friday. a status hearing is set for later this month with a preliminary hearing in mid-december. he's pleaded not guilty to all state charges including attempted murder. twitter's new owner elon musk has carried out his pledge of sweeping job cuts of the social media giant. he laid off about 3,700 staffers, half of the work force. he tweeted, quote, unfortunately there's no choice when the dpaep is losing over $4 million a day. i think everyone who exited was offered three months of severance. the company locked its doors,

cut access to internal systems, and informed employees by email. an employee who was let go spoke about his experience. >> it's been really a journey since april, since he first made that offer and spent most of the summer trying to get out of it. even today, he's at a conference that he tried to get out of it which we all knew and publicly attacked the company and the work he was doing at the whole time and ultimately, you know, had to complete this deal or face the court case. i think when it finally happened, it wasn't so much dhark him coming in that day or anything like that, but the immediate firing of the whole executive team, i think, that really hit a lot of people because these are people, managers or managers managers, people who we have strong connection and relationships with, a lot of senior executives

who were very good, some very incredible people. that was definitely a big shock torque have that whole sort of layer cut out and no communication from the new management at all in that time was -- yeah, it was weird and difficult to deal with for sure. it's frustrating, of course. the sort of waves of annoyance and frustration and all that stuff are absolutely mitigating by the extreme solidarity we've seen from people in the company, people in the same position, people that left the company in years gone by. it's like a giant support network, which has been absolutely amazing. >> a class action lawsuit was filed by employees who argued the layoffs violate the 60-day advance notice required by federal and california law. a day after surviving an attack, pakistan's former leader accuses his rivals of plotting his demise. how some of those officials are

former pakistani prime minister is doubling down on claims that three seen your officials plotted thursday's shooting against him. a day after surviving the attack, he alleged without proof that the prime minister, interior minister, and intelligence officer were behind it. tensions are still running high there. what's the latest? >> reporter: hi, kim. he's made strong accusations, and he hasn't given any evidence. he's blamed the prime minister, the interior minister, as well as the senior intelligence official and he said he's

calling ought of his supporters to come out and protest at 5:00 p.m. across pakistan until these three very, very powerful men resign. there has been pushback from the army itself. they've released a statement calling this completely irresponsible. they've also said -- they've asked the government of pakistan to initiate defamation charges against any individual who criticized the institution and the officials in such a way. it's been said this is a grievous accusation, again, irresponsible, and pakistan's information minister says it's not true. pakistanis have strong political opinions and they're clashing against each other. a lot of it you see on social

media. there was a pushback from the security forces, but they didn't get extremely violent. and we just have to wait and see what happens in the hours to come here in pakistan and whether that politically charged atmosphere and see what might happen. it's been a busy week. we have to wait and see and hope for some semblance of calm. >> we'll keep monitoring that, sophia saifi, thank you so much. there have been four short-range missiles fired from north korea. by cnn's count, it's the 31st time this year they testfired missiles. they landed off the west coast of the korean peninsula. more trouble for brooklyn

so you're looking at pictures from earlier of pope francis holding mass in bahrain's area. the pope made a historic visit to abu dhabi in 2019, the first by any pope to the arabian peninsula. nike is suspending its ties with basketball star kyrie irving after he controversially tweeted a link to a movie that's criticized as anti-semitic. he apologized but only after his team, the brooklyn nets, suspendeded him for failing to make amends promptly. brian todd reports. >> reporter: nba superstar kyrie irving in the head of controversy. he was asked if he had

anti-semitic beliefs. >> i respect all walks of life, embrace all walks of life. >> reporter: he could not answer a yes-or-no question. the nets issued a statement, quote, we were dismayed kyrie refused to say he has no anti-semitic feelings. >> it's a mess. why they didn't handle this immediately and suspend him right away is beyond me. >> reporter: shortly after it was announced thursday night, they said they're no longer interested in accepting irving's money, $500,000 he pledged along with another $500,000 from the nets to work with the adl on anti-s anti-semitism. they said in a tweet, quoting after watching a debacle of a press conference, it's clear kyrie has no regrets over his actions. he said on instagram, quote, i deeply apologize for causing you

payment and i apologize. >> i don't believe the apology goes far enough at all. he's only apologizing after he's suspended and called unfit by the nets. he did not apologize for days when this was exploding. >> reporter: the controversy was sparked more than a week ago when irving tweeted a link to the film "hebrews to negroes: wake up, america." >> at a time when we're seeing a high incidence of anti-semanti-, it was incredibly stunning. >> reporter: the anti-vax flat earther saying this in a news conference before the mets suspended him. >> i'm not the one who made the documentary. >> if you or i or any of us provided a link to the protocols
