hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from the united states and around the world. i'm alison kosik. cnn now projects that democrats will hold on to their control of u.s. senate for the next two years. it's a stunning turnaround from the predictions of a republican red wave just one week ago. the critical moment came a few hours ago when nevada's senate race was called for democratic incumbent catherine cortez masto. after the milestone was reached, here's what u.s. president joe biden said from the asean summit in cambodia. >> i think it's a reflection of the quality of our candidates and the -- they're all running on the same program. anybody who wasn't running on what we did -- they're all sticking with it. i feel good and i'm looking forward to the next couple of years. >> by claiming at least 50 seats, democrats can control the

senate with the vice president casting any tiebreaking vote. senate majority leader chuck schumer says the vote results should send a clear message to republicans. >> we can disagree. on so many issues. that's fair. but let's not have this kind of divisive negativity. let's not have the condemnation of viciousness and even violence against poll workers, against so many others. let us try to come together. >> we want to take you straight to nevada where cnn's rosa flores has the very latest from las vegas. >> reporter: the stakes were high, the margins were razor-thin. but in the end, the democratic incumbent prevailed. katherine cortez masto gets to stay as the senator from the state of nevada. and with that, the democrats get

to keep and maintain control of the u.s. senate. here's how it all went down. the republican, adam laxalt, was in the lead for days. then saturday evening, clark county released a batch of about 23,000 votes, and here's how those votes were divide. katherine cortez masto receiving about 14,000, or 60% of the vote. laxalt received about 8,000 votes, about 35% of that batch. that put catherine cortez masto in the lead, and cnn called the race at that point in time. her campaign taking to twitter saying, quote, what did people get wrong about this race? the first latina senator knows her community better than anonymous sources. the daughter of a teamster knows how to fight for working families and ccms -- katherine cortes mastos -- a former ag and crime attacks couldn't stick.

the democrat here, catherine cortez masto, keeps her seat and stays as senator as nevada. rosa flores, cnn, las vegas. >> as republican fortunes fade following the midterms, donald trump and his supporters continue to try to cast doubt on the integrity of the voting process. the former president posted on his social media site a baseless claim that election officials in nevada were, quote, finding all sorts of ballots to steal the election from adam laxalt. nevada election officials dismissed the broadside as nonsense. >> we're taking ballots in that we're required to take in, according to the law. there's no way that we could "find ballots." we're brought by the united states postal service. as long as it's postmarked, we brothers them and put them in the count. >> let's talk about the nevada senate race with professor fred locken, who teaches political

science at truckee meadows community college in reno, nevada. thanks for being here. >> thank you, alison. >> a blue nevada means democrats will keep control of the senate. i'm curious to hear from you, what do the numbers of what's going on in nevada tell you about how cortez masto was able to pull this off? it was really, really close with laxalt. >> balloting in the state of nevada changed in the pandemic when we adopted mail-in balloting. that has changed the landscape, especially for reporting the results. it requires a great deal more patience because of a lot of stipulations that were put in place to make sure it would be an honest and fair counting of the ballots. so this last four days has been a very painful period of waiting for this to happen. really what did happen is we saw the results of the election day, but not 50% of the ballots that had been cast prior to election

day and on election day. we've been waiting for those to come in and be opened and processed and verified and counted. very happy to be at this point. >> talk with me about voter turn are turnout in nevada. what was it like? what were the top issues that drove voters to the polls? >> well, the senator is a very popular first-term senator. it seems like a close election, seems very dramatic. but this is the record-breaking election in nevada. over $200 million spent on this campaign. and much of it was from outside the state, and much of it was incredibly negative. so the senator dealt with a barrage over the months dating back to spring of very negative at attacks. crime emerged as a topic. we were wondering whether or not abortion was still relevant. certainly the economy has been a major issue over all of us. but as you indicated in your reports, it ultimately did not

stick. people thought that she was a very sincere candidate and that the attacks were unfair. and she weathered it, she made it. >> there was so much talk of a red wave in the midterms. why do you think that didn't materialize? >> i don't think it existed. i sometimes am skeptical enough to think, we live in an age now where the united states where to say something seemingly makes it true. perhaps there were those who thought if they said it enough and loud enough it would materialize. but nevada has been emerging as a blue state. did you look at the results of the elections, very few republicans actually won top spots in the state. so there never really was a wave here. and i think that we also saw democrats motivated. their enthusiasm peaked right at the election, matching the republicans'. there are a number of things that really helped out the democrats. >> so it is very possible we're going to see split leadership for congress for the next two years, democrats in control of

the senate, republicans likely to control the house. how do you see this affecting the remainder of president biden's first term? >> well, it risks being problematic. we saw little cooperation during the first two years when the democrats controlled both houses. but by a thin margin in the senate. we're in the same situation in the senate, which is after 100 years of a pattern where it should have been quite the opposite. that we actually saw the democrats hang on to the exact same margin, possibly improving it by one. that it's going to be really up to the republicans on the house side if they come to control the chamber to be willing to work together, rather than just engage in shenanigans and attacks. the message is coming so far suggests this could be a very difficult relationship. but the voters are going to be watching, and i think both democrats and republicans are going to want to have some wins over the next two years. >> i'm curious what you think is

the biggest surprise that came out of the midterms? >> well -- i guess the biggest surprise in some ways was this unprecedented result. it was a stunning outcome across this country and here in nevada. there were concerns that we might be swept up in something that was very much based on the economy. and the economy -- there's guilt on both sides with democrats and republicans, but there was the concern it might stick to just one party. that didn't happen. abortion did re-emerge. so i think i'm happy and surprised that people were motivated by the personal health issues of women, their personal choices, their right of privacy, was respected by a lot of voters in nevada. and we are a good state that way. we do respect each other. i think that was exemplified in her outcome. >> fred locken, thanks so much for your perspective today. >> thank you for having me. maricopa county continues to

hold the biggest number of outstanding votes in the state of arizona. while cnn and other networks have called that senate race for democrat mark kelly, it is too early to call the governor's race. cnn's kyung lah has more from phoenix. >> reporter: the count continues in maricopa county. 85,000 votes released here in the county. still more votes to be counted. and still no clear answer on the governor's race here in the state of arizona. republican kari lake did manage to close the gap just a bit on democrat katie hobbs, who remains the leader. if you look at the numbers, the margin has shrunk just a tad but not enough to determine if there is a clear winner at this point. but the lake campaign releasing a little information about what it's like inside their campaign headquarters, saying that they believe that these numbers offer a glimmer of hope.

the campaign saying, quote, there is 100% a path, and because the vote is still going on, that there is so much we do not know at this stage. but we do know, cnn has projected a winner in the u.s. senate race and arizona. mark kelly, the senator, will maintain his seat. the race was called in his favor by cnn today thanking his supporters, who backed his race. >> you are all the reason that we are successful. i also want to thank our state's election officials. honorable republicans and democrats who are doing the important work of making sure that arizonans' votes and voices are heard, their votes are counted as quickly and as transparently as possible. >> reporter: blake masters has not conceded but indicated in a tweet he would be open to it

after every legal vote is counted. so how many votes do remain? maricopa county tells us about 185,000 to 195,000 votes remaining. the anticipation is on sunday evening, another release of votes of about 80,000 here in this county. kyung lah, cnn, phoenix. joy and relief in a war-torn city. ahead, ukrainians in kherson celebrate their liberation after russian soldiers are forced out. hear from residents who endured months of occupation. plus u.s. president biden beefing up alliances in asia just before his face-to-face meeting with chinese leader xi jinping. we'll get a live report from the asean summit in cambodia.

celebrating their long-awaited freedom, many taking to the streets waving flags and cheering for the soldiers as they try to restore order in the city. cnn's nic robertson is in the now-liberated city of kherson. >> reporter: this is what liberation looks like. and this is what it feels like. for the people of kherson, euphoria after months of oppressive russian occupation, over. their troops greeted as conquering heroes. residents cut off from the world. no internet, no electricity, no water, no tv. gathering in the city's central square, coming over to hear our broadcast, and tell us what the past eight months have been like. i'm joined here by yulia and olga.

we're going to have a quick conversation about how it's been. tell us about the last eight months, yulia, under occupation. >> it was really hard time for everyone. every ukrainian family waited for our soldiers, for our army. >> reporter: how does it feel now, today, to see them? >> it's amazing. wonderful. thank you very much for supporting us. we feel every day your support. thank you so much. can i hug you? >> reporter: sure. thank you very much. olga? can we talk? >> yes, sure. >> reporter: can you tell us about your experiences over the last eight months? >> we were waiting so long. but we were sure that this day will come. and we'll celebrate together with our people here and everywhere in the world. thanks for whole world that

supported us, that help us. and this day we are so happy to be here. we are so happy with our people to celebrate this day. this is something amazing. but it was hard, but we always knew that this day will come. >> reporter: do you feel the city is safe now? >> yes. city is safe for us. >> reporter: and tell us how it was, because again, we haven't had good information here. what was the situation like living with russian soldiers in control? >> what people you can see here now, i think many of them were hiding. they're hiding the ukrainian flag somewhere in the corner. we were terrified by russian army. we were terrified by soldiers that can come any moment in our house in our home, just open the door like they're living here, and steal, kidnap, torture.

and this was very, very, very difficult. i have goosebumps now when i'm talking. but we did it. we wait and we celebrated now. ♪ >> reporter: this is what liberation looks like. this is what liberation feels like. the people of this city tried to resist the russians. the russians suppressed them. this is what ukrainians are like when that suppression comes off. ♪ nic robertson, cnn, liberated kherson, ukraine. >> cnn's sam kylie joins us from the ukrainian capital, kyiv. what's next for the settlements that have been liberated?

>> reporter: well, from the ukrainian perspective, including the city of kherson, it is a humanitarian issue. the humanitarian issues that they have to address. the retreating russians destroyed communications systems, as nic was saying in his report, during his remarkable lives yesterday. they have destroyed the water capacity for pumping water around the system. they've destroyed the power systems. all of those have to be restored. that is the pattern elsewhere in the country when the russians have been driven out or withdrawn. they do leave wreckage behind them in an effort to try to slow the abilities of the ukrainians to consolidate and then push on. of course, the russians have the natural barrier of the dnipro river between them and the ukrainian forces now, and they have put out a statement saying that to the north of kherson, they're going to be evacuating civilians 15 kilometers away from the river.

there was a very important dam which is -- essentially the br bridgehead for the supply of water into russian-held crimea. that is a very, very important strategic location for the russians. they have said that they are investing it with a lot of heavy weapons. clearly they're trying to move civilians out of that area. perhaps trying to signal that they fear the ukrainians would blow up their own dam. this has been a pattern, of course, that the russians have made these sorts of claims, frequently very ludicrous, such that the ukrainians are bombing their own power station in zaporizhzhia, so we've seen this before. but the ukrainians now will need to consolidate that area they've held and captured on the west bank before figuring out what they do next. arguably, i think alison, they'll be able to release troops into the very bitter fighting that's continuing much further to the east and north of that location, alison. >> okay, sam kylie live in kyiv, thanks very much.

in the hours ahead, israel's president is expected to ask benjamin netanyahu to form the country's next government. it comes after 64 members of parliament recommended that netanyahu assemble the new coalition. if he can do so by next month, he could become the nation's prime minister for the sixth time. that would further extend his record as israel's longest-serving leader. coming up, as more election returns come in across the u.s., we'll take a look at where the balance of power stands in the u.s. congress. warms and effortlessly resesponds to both of you. our smart sleepersrs get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm alison kosik. let's return to our top story. the results from tuesday's midterm elections. cnn can now project democrats will retain control of the u.s. senate. incumbent democrat catherine cortez masto will hold on to her nevada senate city, defeating republican adam laxalt. in the house of representatives, control is not yet decided with democrats holding 204 seats and republicans, 211. 218 is the threshold needed to control the lower house. cnn's john bergman has more now on how the balance of power in the senate shifted in favor of democrats and what could happen in the house of representatives. >> so this is currently the

makeup of the u.s. senate. the democrats have 50 seats, the republicans have 49. there is still a runoff in georgia, which takes place on december 6th, but no matter what happens there, the democrats will maintain control of the senate. if the republicans manage to win that rinoff in georgia, it will be a 50/50 split. vice president kamala harris would break a tie. if the incumbent democrat, raphael warnock, does win in this runoff in december, the democrats would have a 51-49 advantage and outright majority, which believe me they would enjoy, meaning committee assignments don't have to be even, meaning they could lose at least one democratic vote in key moments in the senate. how did we get to this point? the last senate seton called was in nevada. it was catherine cortez masto over adam laxalt. some of the mail vote that came in the last several days helped

her make up a deficit. she'd she'd been trailing by over 22,000 votes, now leading by several thousand. the senate has been decided. that leaves the u.s. house of representatives. this is something. not many people would have thought that the senate would be called for the democrats before the house would be called for republicans, but we just can't yet. there are too many outstanding races. right now the republicans control 211 seats. we projected they will win at least 211 seats. the democrats, 204. you need 218 seats in the house of representatives to have a majority. 218, which means the republicans need 7 more, the democrats would need 14 more. there are currently 20 seats that have not been called, 20 races that have yet to be called in these races right now. the republicans lead in 10. they only need 7. they lead in 10. the democrats lead in 10. they need 14.

so you can see it's an uphill battle. the democrats on this map right now would need to hold every district that is currently blue and then pick up four of the uncalled races that are still in red. some of them are quite close. let me show you in california. california's 13th congressional district, for instance, right now, just a margin of 84 votes with 46% reporting. so the democrats could potentially pick up a few of these seats. this district right here, you can see riverside county, that's just a county there. you can see in this district right now, california's 41st, the republican leads by 2,100 votes but just 53 remaining. if the democrats were to hold every blue district, every blue congressional district on this map and pick up 4 of these red republicans ones, they would maintain control of the house. it's an uphill battle, but at this point not impossible.

john berman, cnn, new york. u.s. president joe biden is in the middle of an international trip that includes the asean summit where he's looking to counter china's growing influence. the president is meeting today with the leaders of japan and south korea and cambodia. their discussions focusing on the threat posed by north korea's missile and nuclear programs. on monday mr. biden heads to bali for the group of 20 summit. he's expected to hold an in-person meeting with chinese leader xi jinping. joining me now from phnom penh, cambodia, is cnn's senior international correspondent, will ripley. great to see you. what's come out of the meeting in the past hour? >> reporter: we expect that meeting actually to be happening right now. we are waiting for an update on what the result was. we do know in the lead-up to the talks between president biden and the leaders of japan and south korea, that would be prime minister kishida and president yoon, all three obviously trying to be in lockstep about a couple

of key issues that are potentially facing this region right now. one of them being the north korean nuclear threat. and also the upcoming meeting between president biden and president xi of china. president biden has stated he's looking for input from his allies as to what the united states should try to gain going into this crucial talk that will be happening next week in bali at the g20. one thing, obviously, the issue of taiwan. and the united states definitely has a lot of -- wants to know about china, and president xi's intentions for taiwan, given that he has this unprecedented third term as china's leader, potentially paving the way for unchecked power as he checks off the items on his agenda. the united states and president biden would like to know more about what that agenda is. president xi, of course, may want to get reinforcement from the united states about what its views are on taiwan, whether it continues to adhere to this one china policy that the united states has helped achieve stability in the region over the

last 40 or so years. and then, of course, there's also the issue of north korea as well, with president biden hoping president xi would do more on that to help the united states pressure pyongyang not to continue provocative missile tests. president biden doesn't seem too preoccupied with the high stakes nature of this meeting, given that he does have a relationship with xi that goes back over decades of their shared political careers. he talked about that here in phnom penh earlier today. >> i know xi jinping. i know him well, he knows me. we have very little misunderstanding. we've just got to figure out where the red lines are, what are the most important things to each of us going into the next two years, and his circumstances changed to state the obvious. i've always had straightforward discussion with him. there's never any miscalculation about what each of us -- where each of us stands. i think that's critically important in our relationship.

>> reporter: one thing that the united states does hope is that china has perhaps more influence over russia than they have exerted so far in this conflict. of course, china, led by president xi, has refused to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine. if president biden could get president xi to come out publicly and call for a cease-fire, call for some sort of action to stop the fighting on the russian side, exerting some of that chinese influence that may or may not exist, that would be a major win on the biden side, analysts say, as we prepare to watch with bated breath to see what these two leaders discussion and what comes out of this crucial face-to-face meeting at the comes days at the g20 in bali, alison. >> you talked about what could possibly come out from china based on ukraine. what about taiwan? i know that the relationship between xi and biden goes back a ways, and biden is talking about how they've known each other awhile. each has very different focus when it comes to taiwan.

>> reporter: well, you've heard president biden say several times in recent months that the united states would come to taiwan's defense militarily if china were to make a unilateral move on that self-governing democracy that's had its own government and military for more than 70 years. you've heard xi jinping state recently at china's party congress when he was given that unprecedented third term that reunification with taiwan, which china's communist leaders have long viewed as a part of mainland china even though they've never controlled it, that was something that got him a tremendous amount of support from within the halls of that party congress in beijing. so both biden and xi know taiwan is the number one red line issue that could potentially spark a conflict between the united states and china. a conflict that could happen at the taiwan strait. the thailand of taiwan and its 24 million people would be caught in the middle of that. it's crucial from the biden perspective, we haven't heard xi

talk yet about this upcoming meeting, but biden's perspective, the face-to-face meeting is crucial because they can clearly let each other know what their priorities are, objectives are, and hopefully avoid a misunderstanding and miscalculation that could trigger a military conflict down the road. >> thanks for that great context. still ahead this hour, an exclusive interview with the president and first lady of ukraine. why they believe their country will prevail against russia despite being outgunned and outmanned. nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 v virus, on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. lysol. what it takes to protect. it makes it realally easy and seamless pick an order print everything you need slap the label on ito the box and it's ready to go our costor shipping, were cut in half just le that go to shipstation/tv and get 2 monthsree

recently they spoke about that with cnn's christiane amanpour in a wide-ranging exclusive interview. >> do you still stand by what you said a few months ago, that you would not negotiate with vladimir putin? >> translator: his proposal has no substance as regards to ending war. other than ultimatums, i've not heard anything from the current president of the russian federation. starting from the 24th of february, there have been only ultimatums. every issue they raise starts with a "d." they always want to deprive us of something violently on our own land. so i said that i'm not going to talk to this person if this person conducts these sham referendums and recognizes all those sham authorities that they set up as legal. i said that if they do that,

then this means they don't respect our people, our sovereignty, our rights, our freedoms. what is there to talk to them about? but i haven't closed the door. i said we would be ready to talk to russia, but with a different russia. one that is truly ready for peace. one that is ready to recognize that they are occupiers. ready to reimburse our people. that's not about money, they need to return everything -- land, rights, freedom, money, and most importantly, justice. to parents who lost their children. money is not enough. it's not a priority. bring back justice. and so far, i haven't heard statements like that from the russian federation, either from putin or from anyone else. >> mr. president, after all your powerful calls to the world for help, weaponry most especially, training, all that kind of

intelligence help that you've needed, are they finally delivering what you need to win, and do you feel that you're getting enough to win or just not to lose? >> translator: it's enough when you can no longer hear explosions. it's enough when the air defense system ensure no missiles hit the ground or buildings. it's enough when you're not being fired at and no missiles are launched against you. because russia is working together with its partner. if i may call it that, with iran. since the 10th of october, we've seen them use around 450 kamikaze drones, attack drones, missiles. over this time we've had over 2,500 hits. that's without artillery. 2,500 hits by drones, explosives, or missiles. that's a large number.

do we have enough defenses? no. i don't think we have enough at all. is it enough to make 100 or 1,000 calls? probably not enough either. a few. but i'm ready to make 1,000 calls if every call i make results in more air defense systems. i'm ready to stay on the phone and just do that. it's difficult. a joint decision on the protection of ukraine, ukrainian air space, will definitely help us. and all the answers are there. i'm sorry, it's not even like the start of the covid epidemic. when people didn't know what to do about it, when we needed to create a vaccine and it didn't exist, there is a vaccine against russian strikes and we know it. there's a vaccine against russia and we know exactly which countries have it. and in what amounts. and i would say, frankly, there are even countries that have a

surplus amount, from my point of view. so i guess, in answer to your question, there is not enough willingness, i would say. >> what strength do you get from each other? >> not together, not together. it means, how we help each other. >> yes. what strength do you get from each other? >> what i have from you, what you have from me. i know what you have from me. >> exactly. you know. >> if i can? >> yeah. >> that is my love, and that is my best friend. so that is my energy. i wanted to answer your question at the very beginning, when olena told you, like she prepared breakfast for the children in the morning and prepared clothes and et cetera. and what i wanted to tell you, that i have no such possibility. so nobody gives me breakfast in

the morning. i mean that it's such difficult period. >> because you're living apart? >> yeah. >> is it true that you said to president biden, when they offered to evacuate you at the beginning, that you said, "i don't need a ride, i need ammunition"? >> translator: yes, that's right. nothing changed. you know, my answer is still the same. >> i want to ask you another question, because i've noticed that ukrainians are not afraid to poke the bear, so the bear is the russian bear, and you guys are constantly poking, on the ground, in the battle, in the airwaves, in the twitter accounts of the ministry of defense, all over. a lot of people outside are afraid of russia and what russia might do. where did this come from? >> translator: i think that russia feeds on these fears. i think this is a big mistake of the last few decades.

russia feels it has this power. the more you give it, the more it feels your fear. it lives by it. >> translator: i think historically, we've been under pressure for so long, it's no longer scary. it's not even interesting. we just want it to stop. it's more of an emotion rather than a fear. centuries of russian empire, then dozens of years of soviet union, with all these famines, all the repressions, all the expulsions of ukrainians to siberia and kazakhstan. we've suffered so much from them that if we don't put an end to this now, there may be no chance in the future. this is our last stand. and when it is the last stand, we've all seen it in the movies, there's only one winner. and of course, our sole desire is to be that winner. otherwise, we will have no future for this nation, because everything that's happening is

elimination on ethnic grounds. all these calls for denazification, this is all about the ukrainian nation being wrong, not having right to exist. the ukrainian language is not a real language, it's just bad russian. it's all about losing the values, there are no values of humanity. this is something we can never put up with, really, because it would mean rejecting ourselves. therefore, there is no fear. there is resilience. there is bravery. all we need is swifter and more powerful support than we're getting now. >> translator: and this dignity, ukrainian dignity, is very important. and that's why we have this resilience. russia keeps wondering, what's happening here? i don't understand why they're so keen to know what we're up to. i think there should be more interest in their own country, in their own history, in their

own culture, to preserve it if they still have it. >> for more information on how you can help the people of ukraine, logon to cnn.com/impact.

at least two people were killed saturday when two planes collided at an air show in dallas, texas. we have to warn you that this video may be disturbing to some viewers. the b-17 flying fortress and the bell p-63 king cobra collided then crashed to the ground. officials have not confirmed the number of casualties and ntsb investigation is under way. the u.s. is seeing an uptick in rsv, a respiratory illness which affects children under 5 years old. a recently released police body cam video shows just how frightening the disease can be. this is what happened when two kansas city officers scrambled to help a 1-month-old who stopped breathing.

>> so come on, come on -- come on -- >> hold her. >> i can -- she's breathing now. she is breathing. >> thankfully, baby kamia is doing well, but she's just one of the many infants who have had scary run-ins during what some health officials call an unprecedented surge of rsv over the last few weeks. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta explains the latest on this active respiratory season. >> it is really incredible video to watch that and to see that baby be revived like that. thankfully, look, situations like that are going to be rare. but there's no question that we're seeing a lot of respiratory illness out there right now. and sometimes it can be challenging for parents, especially of young babies, to know when a child is starting to develop some sort of respiratory distress. the signals can be subtle. so here's a few of them that you

should look for. keep in mind that you know your child better than anyone, so if breathing is different, sounds different, looks different, pay attention to that. the breathing is faster, shorter, quick breaths, that's of concern. if they're making unusual noises, as you see there. if there's any signs of blue or purple around the lips, that means they're not getting enough oxygen. again, it can be subtle. leash a couple of things here. sometimes these videos are instructive, not meant to frighten you. take a look at this baby, breathing using abdominal muscles. abdominal breathing is usually a sign the baby is starting to have difficulty breathing, using those accessory muscles. here you see the head-bopping. that's of concern. it means that the baby may be having struggles. looks comfortable, but starting to use additional muscles to be able to breathe. so these are the sorts of things. pay attention, especially during

respiratory virus season. again, you have rsv, flu, covid. all these things sort of happening at the same time. we know in boston, one of the children's hospitals, the situation there has been described as severe and escalating. at university of michigan mott children's hospital, we know the hospital is basically 100% full. elective cases are getting canceled. it's tough to admit new patients for unrelated things. so that's the situation. flu, a big concern as well. about half the country now experiencing very high levels of flu. if you get a sense of how things are changing over the past few weeks, you look to the numbers here. october 22nd week, you had close to 900,000 cases of flu. a week later, it almost doubled. then this most recent week, about 1 million, more than 1 million new cases. so that's the real concern. one thing to point out, when it comes to flu, trying to figure out who's most affected, take a look at this graph.

older people, people over the age of 65, that's the red line. the line just below that is young kids, 0-4. unlike with covid, with flu, you're going to affect the very old and the very young. we don't know how this is all going to play out, if there's going to be a significant number of cases over the next few weeks then it comes down, or what, but sometimes we look to the southern hemisphere to get some sort of clue as to what's going on there. their flu season is earlier than ours. it's typically april to october. but take a look at, we picked on australia here and compared it to the last five years. the red line this year is australia. you can see flu season happened at a higher peak and much earlier than in years past. that could be a sign of what's going to be happening here as well. so as we get more of these numbers in, find out what's going on with children's hospitals around the country, we'll bring that information to

you. >> all right, sanjay, thanks very much. there's much more news ahead. i'll be back after a quick break. dry skin is sensitive skin, too. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourishingng, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skinin for 24 hours. aveeno®
