punishment for homosexual activity in jail and under sharia law, stoning to death literally. there is real concern in this country and other liberal nations that those who are attending, the teams, but also the government representatives, that they might say they're trying to engage and encourage their values in that country, but is it really right to do so and give more credibility to this country and the system? >> yeah. quickly, a statement in. statement from the world cup of qatar supreme community. fifa cup a tournament for everyone much like prevention editioning of the tournament. every welcome to guenard 2022 regardless of race, background, religion, sexual orientation or nationality. public displays of affection are not a part of our society. while everyone is welcome, what we expect in return is for everyone to respect our cultural

tradition -- culture and traditions. there you go. >> right. so many thoughts. we have to go but stay on this, we promise. thank you. "cnn this morning" continues right now. well, good morning, everyone. top of the hour. guess what? it is tuesday. november 1-5. 15. of, we're in november, right? i forget, it's early. >> the month flying by. a lot going on. >> yeah. a lot going on this morning, including a lot happening in arizona. everybody's paying attention to arizona. big, big news. democrat katie hobbs deceiting election denier there, kari lake in perhaps biggest example of voters rejecting election liars. also, in the republican party, a civil war erupting. why the face of mitch mcconnell

and kevin mccarthy are facing infernal pushback to say the least? >> and uvalde, texas, the acting police chief knew children were alive and needed rescued but failed to organize any help. showing lack of leadership plagued the response to the school shooting. live to the region, talking russia and ukraine. status of russia's war in ukraine after the liberation of kherson. have we reached beginning of the end? that is the question. first, the race is called. democrat katie hobbs is the next governor of arizona. cnn projecting she will defeat republican challenger kari lake driving another dagger in the heart of election denialism. our reporter is live for cnn this morning in phoenix. good morning to you. what are you hearing from hobbs from lake? what is going on? >> reporter: well, hobbs last night after she was projected

winner said that she wanted to thank the voters and then simply said democracy is worth the wait, but something hobbs is not doing is waiting for kari lake to concede, and lake hitting that point by tweeting this shortly after hobbs was projected to be the winner. lake tweeted "arizonans know b.s. when they see it." that tweet is trying to disparage the election process. a process that here in maricopa county is continuing regardless of what she says. there are still 5,000 to 15,000 votes yet to be counted. those votes would be cured, counted, every last vote, election officials indeed promised would be counted. it is not enough for her to catch up. in part because republicans and independents rejected her. lake thought she could win without moderates and we heard from a lot of moderates last

night shortly after that projection. one moderate said, "kari lake told a legion of john mccain supporters across arizona they could go to hell. tonight they returned the favor." poppy? >> our viewers know, just from all of us here in the studio to you and your team on the ground pressing for answers and truth throughout this race, it's been really important. so thank you. hope you get some rest now. >> reporter: thank you. it was a historically bad midterm election for republicans who predicted a red wave but now are reckoning with their poor performance last tuesday night. republicans are back on capitol hill today where they find themselves bitterly divided over who should lead their party and what is shaping up to be a small also very divided majority. >> i think that this election was the funeral for the republican party as we know it. the republican party as we have known it is dead. and voters have made that clear. >> what i'm here to tell you is, there are definitely at least

five people, actually a lot more than that, who would rather be waterboarded by liz cheney than vote for kevin mccarthy for speaker of the house and i'm one of them. >> i fully support kevin mccarthy and will support him for speaker. i think he's done a great job as our leader. >> and so mitch would rather be leader than have a republican majority. mitch made a decision, it's more important to him to have republicans who will back him than it is to have 51 republicans. i understand why. there's a certainly selfishness that justifies that. it just doesn't make any sense if you give a damn about the country. >> the third straight election our closely divided nation saw a closely-fought election. go all the way down to the wire. as the dust settles, for the third straight time the american

people have chosen a very closely divided government. >> inkredcredibly closely divid. jessica, the gop is on the cusp of capturing the camehamber. one seat shy. mccarthy declared bid for the leadership position already. >> reporter: apt description. scrounging for support. held this closed-door meeting we know yesterday trying to rally troops around him. this is not the situation he thought he would be in, as you just laid out. he certainly thought this would already have been called, that republicans would already have control for the next session and that he would be well on his way to being speaker, and instead they're going to have a much, much smaller margin, and it's going to make his bid for that speakership all the more complicated. especially from the house freedom caucus. congressman andy biggs from arizona said he's going to run against mccarthy.

here's what we know. mccarthy still poised to win this election today to be leader of the house gop. he needs only a simple majority, kaitlan. he will need 218 in january, but it's worth noting if you look back in history, pelosi didn't have 218. went on to become speaker in 2018. paul ryan is simple majority didn't have 218 and went on to become house speaker in 2015. there is precedent. >> even if he wins has to deal with a caucus maybe tried to make him not be speaker. also in the senate seeing a fight, because ted cruz has a bold public rebuke of mcconnell. rick scott not holding back on his criticism. is there a question within side where rick scott will actually challenge mitch mcconnell here? >> reporter: good question. hasn't said that. he deflects, talks about georgia and other things. there have been calls to delay the election currently scheduled

for wednesday. it's worth noting mcconnell goes back and forth in the hallway to the floor and rarely ever talks to reporters and yet he did make the rare comment walking back and forth when asked if he had votes se head, of course. i think, very much intentional and very much on purpose. this feud spilling out into the open and a lot of blame whydeli way they thought they would, why they don't control the senate. kaitlan, that's going to spill out and again that coming on wednesday. >> quite the food fight. jessica dean, thanks for the update. ahead, we are going to talk more about what jessica just laid out there. talk about pence, talk about trump. all with our cnn chief national correspondent john king. new details this morning about the university of virginia murder suspect. this morning we learned he was facing disciplinary action by the university, and allegedly killed that easy three people and injured two more. his father says his son was paranoid about something the

last time he saw him. our joe johns joins us live in charlottesville, virginia, with more. joe, the news is breaking yesterday when you joined us and now we know the names of those who were murdered. the two injured, and more details about the killer. >> reporter: that's right, poppy, and the university is just reeling as you might expect, classes have been canceled for a second straight day. the city of charlottesville dealing with yet another vilolet tragedy. police continue their investigation, but for the families of the victims probably nothing the police can do to make this make sense. ♪ >> reporter: a shaken campus uniting in grief. the university of virginia mourning three football players. two other students injured, after a shooting rocked the school. >> the shootings occurred on a bus full of students returning from a field trip.

three of the victims did not survive. [ sirens ] >> reporter: gunshots rang out sunday night, intense manhunt in and around charlottesville for the suspect followed. in the middle of a press conference the news everyone on campus was hoping for. >> thank you, captain. we just received information the suspect is in custody. >> reporter: police identified the suspect as university of virginia student christopher darnell jones jr. the 22-year-old was a freshman on the uva football team in 2018, but did not play in any games. police said jones was arrested about 7a miles outside the charlottesville campus. the university identified the victims at devin chandler, lavel davis jr. and d'sean perry, all current football players.

officials did not identify the two additional students injured in the incident. the uva football team expressed its heartbreak in a tweet saying, "there are no words to describe this tremendous loss to our uva football family." their coach calling them incredible young men with huge aspirations and extremely bright futures. a sentiment of sorrow echoed by the university of virginia's president. >> my heart is broken for the victims and their families and for all those who knew and loved them. >> reporter: the suspect's father told cnn affiliate wtvr he is heartbroken and in disbelief. >> i don't -- i don't know what to say. except that i'm sorry on his behalf, and i apologize. >> reporter: police said the suspect had come to the uva police department's attention before. they said jones had a prior incident involving a concealed

weapon in 2021 outside the city of charlottesville. uva's judicial council took over the case and the results are pending, according to police. during a press conference yesterday, uva's police chief also said that in september a non-student claimed jones had made a comment about possessing a gun, but to the knowledge of the police, that person never actually saw the gun in question. the victims' families and suspect's father shaken, now hoping for answers. >> what happened? why did it have to get this far? he could have called me. >> reporter: we're told the suspect has a video arraignment scheduled for today. he faces three counts of second-degree murder. poppy? >> joe johns. those poor families. i know the university, as you said, absolutely reeling. thank you for being there. overnight president biden met with turkish president

erdogan on the sidelines of the g 20 summit in indonesia expressing condolences in istanbul. he also made clear that the united states stand with its nato ally. this comes as the war in ukraine has largely been the focus behind the scenes at this summit as leaders are said to be considering a draft resolution condemning russia's war and the aftereffects of higher energy and food prices, most countries have reportedly signed on. of course, this is a summit putin was invited to, but reminder did not ultimately show up. later today president biden will meet with the new uk prime minister sunak, third prime minister met with from the uk since he took office. showing you those emotional xe scenes in the newly liberated city of ukraine, kherson. reuniting after the eight-month-long russian occupation. the people are kherson are celebrating, singing patriotic songs and climbing to tops of

buildings to hoist the ukrainian flag, but kherson is facing challenges humanitarian conditions. large parts of the city without electricity and running water. also reports of land mines and other hazards left behind by russian troops. zelenskyy says efforts are now being made to return the city to normalcy. here's what he told the g20 summit, earlier this morning. watch. >> translator: it is like, for example, d-day. landing of the allies in normandy. not yet a final point in the fight against evil, but it already determined the entire further course of events. if the victory will be ours, in any case, and we are sure of it, then shouldn't we try to implement a formula for peace to save thousands of lives and protect the world from further destabilization? >> zelenskyy also outlining a peace proposal, which includes the end to nuclear threats. more food and energy security. prisoner swaps. a full withdrawal by russia. is this beginning of the end

of the war? as president zelenskyy says? let's discuss now. bring in cnn's chief international correspondent clarissa ward. good morning to you there. how significant is zelenskyy's proposed peace plan to the g20? >> reporter: well, i would have to say it is obviously coming from a place of buoyancy and exuberance after the liberation or taking over of kherson. demands, there isn't a huge amount in this ten-point peace plan the russians are likely to say, okay. we have something we can start with here. so it's not that the demands are sort of, you know, outlandish in any way. they really make a lot of sense, and pertain to hugely important issues that affect the whole world. like food security, energy security. nuclear security. as well as demanding that russia withdraw its forces and there be

cessation of hostilitihostiliti. in terms how realistic it is, to get the russians to come to the negotiating table and use this as a starting draft? that is probably more of a long shot, because the russians will obviously be wanting to see more extractions or at least some concessions they can take away. at this stage, though, guys, i don't think ukrainians have any interest in making those concessions. >> right. that's critical to all of this at the winter comes. right? which could completely change the game and president biden is meeting with world leaders at the g20. hoping to get them aligned. can something significant come out of the g20 that would really aid ukraine at this point in this, clarissa? >> reporter: it's a really tough one, poppy, honestly. end of the day what you're hearing from u.s. officials. heard some in the u.s. military say, now is the time for ukraine to really take stock and sit down and think about what a peace plan or what some kind of

negotiated settlement would look like. other officials in the u.s. administration saying that's really not our place in the u.s. or in the white house to be dictating to ukrainians what the terms should look like or when they should sit down. ukraine right now understandably is not in the mood to negotiate. they've lost too much. they just have taken back kherson. this is a huge strategic and symbolic humiliation for the russians. it was the only regional capital and the largest city that they've taken since the beginning of the invasion back in february. at the same time, while you have zelenskyy talking about d-day saying it's clear the trajectory of the war in the sense russians can't win, president putin also understands from his own political survival he can't lose. russians are banking on at this stage, they can drag out or protract this conflict as long as they can and make it as painful as they can, not just for the ukrainians but the western countries backing ukraine. as you said into the winter, head into recession, they're

hoping that that will sort of, you know, push the ukrainians, that there will be more sort of ukraine smupporters in the west pushing them to go to the negotiating table. ought this stage, i don't see that happening overnight. >> clarissa, seeing such triumphant voices, reaction, coming out of kherson where it's been a long eight months for these ukrainians so far, but also getting a better picture of the torture and the hell they've been living through in this russian occupation. >> reporter: that's right, and it's such an important thing, i think, kaitlan, to underscore for our viewers. this is victory and victory, as you can see, in those scenes of jubilation, it's a beautiful thing, but it's also grim, because it is also now the beginning of the sort of unpacking of the trauma of the horrors of what happened, of people who were tortured, who were beaten. one man allegedly for just spray painting, you know, "glory be to

ukraine" on a bus stop. people of ukraine, many lived through things that are unthinkable and now living in a city that's had no electricity and probably won't have electricity for several more months, and they're going into a winter that promises to be brutally cold, as the winter often is. under continued bombardment, strategic targeting of ukraine's critical civilian infrastructure. and so while this is a moment for ukraine to celebrate, it is still painful, and there are still many challenges ahead. >> clarissa ward, thank you. >> reporter: thanks. well, grammy-winning singer roberta flack diagnosed with als known as lou gehring's disease and can no longer sing. watch this. ♪ strumming my face with his fingers ♪ [ applause ] ♪ singing my life with his words ♪ killing me softly with his song ♪ ♪ softly with his song ♪

>> reporter: we hope so. good news, we've gotten a statement from the hospital where he's being treated, poppy. this is grossman burn center here in the los angeles area. saying that the 72-year-old comedian is in stable condition and he's being treated for burns to his face and his hands after a gasoline fire at his legendary car garage over the weekend. he said in the statement that came from the grossman fire burn center, i should say, she in good spirits and touched by all the inquiries and well wishes and wants to let everyone know that he is doing well, but obviously, still very scary, poppy, to know he was burned on his face and hands in this accident. >> yeah. of course. doing what he loves most. right? being in the garage with the cars. man, all right. thinking about him. so we texted back and forth. >> showed me -- feel better. >> anyway, just said, ten days. i won't go into detail what he said. he said ten days and then said,

audio from the uvalde scute school shotting. highlights actions or lack of actions even after learning a child trapped with a gunman called 911. live from san antonio with disturbing details. good morning. what do you have for us? >> reporter: yeah, don. this phone call from a leading law enforcement official who at times was in the hallway of that school as the gunman was holding those kids trapped inside that classroom received information directly from a 911 dispatcher that kids were trapped inside that classroom. this is a law enforcement official who had the power to order commands, to make orders, and what you'll see is that he failed to organize any kind of rush into that classroom or to command his officers that day. >> so how many of still there? >> 18 still alive. she's not sure -- >> reporter: new audio of a

recorded phone conversation obtained by cnn showing the acting uvalde police chief was directly told children were trapped with a gunman and needed rescued. >> with an ar ra rchltar. >> reporter: still failed to take direct action to save them. >> he's in the class. >> reporter: cnn pieced together multiple body cameras and new security footage from inside the school hallway, along with this never before heard phone wall to show how a failure of leadership allowed 77 minutes to tick by before police killed the gunman. acting uvalde police chief mariano parghias among the firs to enter. the chief of police on vacation, leaving him in charge of the city police. he arrived at 11:36 a.m., just three minutes after the gunman fires his first shots. his officers run in ahead of him, and make an initial attempt

to breach the classroom and quickly retreat where shots are fired in their direction. cnn has chose tonn to mute the sounds of those gunshots. >> am i plebleeding? >> reporter: moments layinger ruben ruiz, whose wife is a teacher delivered critical information to him. the shooter is located inside his wife's classroom. he was suspended by city of uvalde in july and placed on paid leave while they investigate his role as a commanding officer during the shooting is walking in and out of the hallway taking cover next to a wall. failing to organize a response. even when ruben ruiz barrels back into the hallway telling colleagues that his wife eva called him from inside the room and says she's dieing. >> hey, hey, hey.

>> she says she's shot. >> reporter: it's the acting chief who comes and removes ruiz from the hallway. >> i don't know. you have to -- >> reporter: as time goes by the police on the scene can be heard looking to him asking him for direction. he want to know what the plan is. parghas tells his waiting on the department of public safety. >> just waiting for -- what's going on? >> something in there to come in. >> reporter: at 12:30 p.m. 30 minutes after police arrive 10-year-old chloe torrez, a fourth grader trapped inside the room with the gunman on the phone with a 911 dispatcher. >> one of 12. 112, yes. please hurry. there's dead bodies. >> reporter: cnn obtained that call and published it with

approval of her parents. parghas and others on-scene immediately informed. >> there is a room full of victims. >> [ bleep ] for the victims child called 911 -- >> what? >> the room is full of victims. >> 911 call. >> reporter: parghas didn't have a radio with him takes one from a detective and enters the hall way. tells the men inside -- >> a child just called they have victims in there. >> reporter: then he steps back. two minutes later he walks out of the hall way and places a phone call directly to the uvalde dispatcher. cnn has obtained this call. >> okay. and from the -- one of the -- what is the -- >> she's in room 112.

112. mariano, 112. >> so how many are still alive now? >> eight or nine are still alive. >> how many more? >> she's not sure how many are actually -- we're trying to -- get the information. >> okay. okay. thank you. >> reporter: the recorded phone call proves for the first time that a senior officer at the scene was directly made aware of the horrors happening inside the classroom. parghas walks back in the hall way one more time. >> nine injured. >> reporter: a few seconds later the acting police chief turns his back and walks out, in the doorway he can be seen talking to the texas ranger, christopher ryan cando, cnn reporting currently suspended and under investigation for feeling to form a response that day but parghas doesn't tell him about the 911 information he received.

cnn learned from sources familiar with the investigation that a number of law enforcement officials on-scene including high-ranking officers with the texas department of public safety say they did not know about the 911 call. a few minutes later at 12:20 p.m. parghas can be seen walking away from the school. away from the hall way where duzd dozens of law enforcement officers remain debating, confused, seemingly uncertain about what to do and wouldn't breach the classroom for another 30 minutes. cnn analysis of a new never before made public angle of the hall way security camera shows that parghas never steps foot back inside this hallway. in interviews with investigators obtained by cnn, he says he didn't believe he was in charge, and his officers from the uvalde city police were there only to assist the school police until the texas department of public

safety took over. the texas department of public safety which placed seven of its officers at the scene under further investigation labeled uvalde school police chief pete arredondo as the on-scene commander. arredondo fired in august maintains he wasn't in charge either. cnn reached parghas by phone and he said, "he would love to defend himself but been told not to speak to the media." adding, "it's not that we're afraid, because there's nothing to be afraid of. we did what we could, but the thing is that we've been told that we can't." in interviews with texas rangers, she was asked why officers didn't force their way into the classroom sooner as active shooter training clearly indicates. >> the room was extremely dark. we didn't know where he was or the kids were standing, by him or not knowing what was beind w behind the doors. >> reporter: he didn't tell them

about his direct call with the dispatcher and claimed he didn't recall hearing radio traffic about the 911 calls. >> we heard all the shots but didn't know there were kids in there, if they were alive, or kids -- no idea. >> reporter: but he did know. he knew ruben ruiz' wife called said she was inside dieing, and he knew a child called 911 and said she was in room 112 surrounded by victims. as the acting uvalde police chief mariano parghas was commanding officer on-scene and could have done something about it. >> a fascinating report. can you tell us more about this senior officer? >> reporter: right. mariano parghas. he was placed on administrative leave back in july after the house report, they did their investigation, the local politicians here. they conducted their investigation and so after that the city put him on paid leave, which is where he remains. still being paid, though not

serving the uvalde police department. look, there are people, don, inside the city, inside the police department feel he needs to go and it's a matter of time. a process under way. locals are still doing their investigation. we'll see what his status is. interestingly enough, don, he is an elected official. just re-elected as a county commissioner. yesterday before we aired this story, i had time to talk with the families about this, before we went ahead and published this story, just to give them a heads um, of course. everything that we do, we always include the families, and when i started telling them about this story, certainly, you know, they were just quiet and just continuing to be upset, because the only way that they're learning information is through us, by us calling them. by us airing these stories. by us digging and getting this information. because still we are almost at six-month mark. next week, thanksgiving day, marks the six-month period since

this happened and the families have still, still not gotting a full briefing from officials on everything that happened here. guys, every time we dig in we find more and more and more. there are so many layers of this, that we're now looking at moments of the breach and what happened, but there is still so much more information that needs to be learned, and that needs to come out. >> simone prokupecz in san antonio for us. great reporting. thank you. in a new book out today michelle obama, former first lady talks about a lot. talks about marriage, running for president -- her husband that is -- and former president donald trump. host of npr, sitting down with the former first lady. a fascinating interview, and it's ahead.

person running against hillary clinton was not up to the job, that it was going to be chaotic, that the job of president is not a joke, and that it would cause problems, and to see citizens

storming through the capitol, it was surreal and it was frightening, and deeply, deeply disappointing. >> former first lady michelle obama sharing her thoughts on january 6th last night with stephen colbert. her new book is out today and speaks bluntly how she felt when former president trump won the 2016 presidential election. >> it shook me profoundly to hear the man who replaced my husband as president openly and unapologetically using ethnic slurs, making selfishness and hate somehow acceptable, refusing to condemn white supremacists or to support people demonstrating for racial justice. it shocked me to hear him speaking about differentness as if it were a threat. it felt like something more.

something much uglier than a simple political defeat. >> her perspective on that comment and more bring in npr's "all things considered" who sat down with michelle obama. thank you for joining us on what is a fascinating conversation just to hear her speak out so candidly, and one thing i noticed from your conversation with her is, the tone of this book is a lot different than the tone of the other book that people might be familiar with. >> absolutely right. it is still partially a memoir. she peels back layers much like she does in her acclaimed book came out back in 2018, but told me she intensely wanted this book to be more practical, offer a road map of sorts. chart a path out during difficult times. wrote the books largely in isolation, during the pandemic with only a close amount of people to give her input and think about tools she could

offer to people across the country and the world asking advice for her how to solve biggest problems they're experiencing in their lives. >> when i think of michelle obama i think of bravery. that's what comes to mind. i love, in this book opens up when she was really scared, fearful and almost let that fear stand in the way of history. let's listen to that and get your thoughts on the other side. here it is. >> i think the most anxious i've ever been in my life was when barack told me for the first time that he wanted to run for president of the united states. i found the prospect of it actually terrifying, and perhaps worse, as we carried on a conversation off and on over the course of a few weeks late in 2006, he made it clear that the decision was really up to me. it's strange to think that i could have altered the course of

history with my fear, but i didn't. i said, "yes." >> 100% true. >> i love it. >> 100% true. >> what do you think? >> i think it's something, such a, even talking about someone who's a former first lady, just a really relatable sentiment for anyone in a long-term relationship in a marriage. in marriage you have to have gives and takes. those conversations. hear her openly acknowledge she was fearful what this would mean for her family, her children, her career. how this would catapult their life a a unique revolution of course seeing the ways in thchir family was examined, cross-examined, scrutinized. open up and owning that moment of intimidation. >> yeah. here's an interesting thing. telling poppy 100% true, it was local anchor in chicago, when barack obama was a state senator and then became senator and then he ran for president.

and i remember that -- this book, long story short, is the michelle obama that i know. not that i'm best friends but i know them. introduced them at chicken denners, well, barack obama and -- so this was the michelle obama that chicagoans knew. that the constituents knew. she didn't want him to run for president. she did not. even had a hard time actually running and being, her becoming, being first lady, and so this is a book -- look, "becoming" was great. no shades for michelle. all praise for her, but this is the real book. this is what she really thinks. this is personal, and i think that this is actually more relatable to women, you know, who have careers and then have to sort of sometimes take a back street their husbands, because they put their husband's careers first and exactly how they felt about donald trump and what he did to the country. this is a, you saw her face on

inauguration day and this book is a reflection of that. >> i think that's absolutely right. you heard her describe her family in this book as this hopeful and earnest black family that believed in hard work, that catapulted into the white house and then after eight years of what she describes as progress and achieving, and believing in those principles, for the country to, in her words, have repudiated what her family stands for. she expresses a great deal of vulnerability what that was like for her, self-questions, did we do enough? were we enough? what does this say about us? that this is the turn the country makes? talks about that soincredibly openly. sounds like she wants to be a helper, providing tangible things that helped. picking up knitting needles, what that's meant for her and something that offered her calm and steadiness in a moment of global instability. a really interesting turn for her and excited to see what she la 20 say about it heading on a book tour that starts today. >> yeah. >> did you think watching, i don't know if you noticed, watched closely on inauguration

day when donald trump became president, was inaugurated, and i could tell, like, dynamic between her and her husband. he was like, we can get through this. get through this. she was like -- kind of -- didn't want to really be there. doing her duty, but she was not -- look at her face. >> yeah. it's fascinating. in the book describes her husband as the greatest disrupting force of her life and talks about the counterbalance between the two of them. i remember watching their faces closely from our studios just down the street from here in d.c. and sian contrast how approached and no words said between the two, incredibly powerful moment. i don't think i'll forget. >> yep. >> i loved what she said about the pandemic. relatable to people. feeling felt writing this book. a great interview. thank you for shares it with us. >> thank you very much for having me. all right. it could be worse. that is from the former cryptocurrency's billionaire, no
