12:01 am
united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom," and i'm rosesese church. we are following two major stories this hour. a russian-made missile has killed two people in poland in what could be a significant turning point in the war in ukraine. russia denies it fired the projectile, but the incident has prompted an emergency meeting of world leaders at the g20 summit in indonesia. plus, donald trump wants another term in the white house. he says joe biden and the democrats have ruined the country and only his america first policies can get the u.s. back on track. first, to the deadly missile explosion in poland. an investigation into the incident, which left two polish citizens dead is already under way. officials say the missile was russian-made, but who fired it and where it was fired from is
12:02 am
still unclear. poland is considering invoking nato's article 4, which would trigger talks with the alliance's decision making body. the missile fell in a village near poland's border with ukraine and set off a storm of diplomatic activity. before leaving the g20 summit in indonesia, u.s. joe biden also participated in an emergency meeting with g7 and nato leaders. mr. biden struck a cautious tone while speaking with reporters. take a listen. >> i'm going make sure we figure out exactly what happened. it's unlikely in the minds of the trajectory that it was fired from russia. but we'll see. >> cnn has correspondents covering all the angles. nina dos santos is in london. white house reporter kevin liptak is in bali, indonesia,
12:03 am
along with ivan watson. welcome, everyone. so i want to start with you, kevin. before his departure, president bush held those emergency meetings with world leaders in bali on this russian-made missile, falling on nato ally poland. what more are you learning about the talks, the meetings? >> really, the urgent mission for the leaders in these talks is trying to determine where this missile was fired from, because the implications are so high. poland, of course, a member of nato. that means that they are covered by the nato article 5. that's the collective defense treaty. an attack against once is an attack against all. if that missile were to have been fired from russia, that would create enormous consequences for this war. it would be a major escalation. so certainly the leaders want to make sure they have it right once they say where this missile came from. you heard president biden after he merged from those emergency talks with members of the g7 and
12:04 am
some members of nato. he said he thought it was unlikely that it was fired from russia, but he did couch it. he said he wanted to see the full intelligence. first make sure that it was definitive. we know that both russia and ukraine are using russian-made munitions in this war, and the polish government has said that this was a russian-made missile. and you talked to the ukrainian adviser last hour, rosemary, who said he wanted to be cautious as well there is a lot of intelligence to go through. and what american officials say is their intelligence on this sort of thing is actually pretty good, that they would be able to track the trajectory of this missile to determine where it came from. now president biden in the last couple of hours or so, he did get on air force one. it is about a 24-hour flight back to washington. but certainly, he will continue to be updated by his senior most officials. he did speak earlier today with the polish president. he also spoke to the nato
12:05 am
secretary general. now in brussels today, they will be convening a meeting of the nato ambassadors under article 4 of nato. you hear a lot about article 5. article 4 is the collective conference, collective discussion about what the next steps will be. and slow it be interesting to see what comes out of that meeting later. rosemary? >> careful investigation critical at this juncture. thanks for that. i want to go to ivan now for global reaction to this missile landing in poland. ivan, what's being said? >> right. well, european allies of poland, members of the eu and of nato, they have poured in messages of condolence and solidarity, offered to assist with the investigation as well as to the origins of this missile strike. there have also been condemnations of russia not particularly for the death of the two people in poland, but
12:06 am
for the barrage of rockets that fell on ukraine throughout the day on tuesday. let's take a listen to the european union, european commission president and what she had toe say. >> while we were meeting in g20, and while we were calling for the end of the war, russia conducted massive missile strikes against ukraine, deliberately russia is targeting cities and civilian infrastructure, cutting off children, women and men from water, electricity, and heating. we all condemn these brutal acts like russia. >> reporter: now president biden was here in bali leading a coalition of allies ranging from canada to european countries to japan and south korea, seeking to isolate and punish russia for its invasion of ukraine and the ongoing war that began last february.
12:07 am
the summit here was hosted by the indonesian president who today gave another speech in which he repeated in indonesian "stop this war, stop this war." and the g20 leaders' declaration, which is an enormous document, more than 1100 pages, the ukraine war is at the front, the very first page of it in which all sides seem to have agreed that the war in ukraine has further adversely impacted the global economy. the statement goes on to say, quote, most members strongly condemn the war in ukraine and stressed it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating fragilities in the global economy. it goes on the suggest that all of the members agree that the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible. now the g20 includes russia, which of course the moscow is not going to condemn itself.
12:08 am
it claims that this war was started by nato and the west, and russia's ally china, which has been very loathe to openly criticize russia's conduct of the war. back to you. >> right. and meantime, nina, russia is denying firing this missile into poland. what is the latest on russia's reaction? >> well, rosemary, they've repeatedly denied any involvement in this missile landing on polish and indeed nato territory. and in fact, overnight, perhaps seizing upon joe biden, the u.s. president's comments, reporters there saying that early indications are that this may have been potentially a stray ukrainian missile. we saw the representative to the united nations that the russian federation say, quote, any attempt to this incident was an attempt to provoke a direct clash between nato and russia, a
12:09 am
military clash it says. then former russian president dmitry medvedev took to twitter and went further. the incident with the ukrainian alleged missile strike proves just one thing. waging a hybrid war against russia, the west moves closer to world war. really worrying talk there from somebody who is hyper politically connected to the kremlin, dimitri medvedev. but this the meantime, obviously the diplomatic wheels are turning to try and engage some kind of detente if you like here. there is confusion, obviously, because both ukraine and russia used the same -- post soviet states use the same missile and missile defense systems. and what might help clear up this confusion is the fact that nato has been monitoring the launches of all of these missiles as they have been throughout the course of this war over the last few months in ukraine. particularly yesterday when ukraine was subjected to that very significant barrage of russian missiles. so nato have indicated that they
12:10 am
have been monitoring this particular missile. they appear to understand where it was fired from and how it ended up in polish territory with fatal consequences for two people, but they haven't yet said what they know. we may find a little bit more later on when that nato meeting gets under way in brussels in about an hour's time. and later on "today," there is also going to be a u.n. security council meeting and you'll likely hear talk of this dominate the agenda there as well. rosemary? >> exactly why an investigation is so critical at this juncture. kevin liptak, ivan watson, nina dos santos, thanks to all three of you for bringing us up to date on the situation. trump, trump, trump. >> we are barely a week past the u.s. midterm elections, but the 2024 race for the white house already is what you can see there. trump is wanting to throw his hat in the ring here. donald trump announcing his candidacy tuesday night in
12:11 am
florida, promising to defeat joe biden and the, quote, radical democrats with his america first agenda. the former president vowed to bring down inflation, make the u.s. energy independent, and secure the border with mexico. if he wins, trump would be the first u.s. president-elected to nonconsecutive terms since grover cleveland in 1892. >> under biden and the radical democrats, america has been mocked, derided and brought to its knees, perhaps like never before. but we are here tonight to declare that it does not have to be this way. two years ago, we were a great nation. and soon we will be a great nation again. >> joining me now from los angeles, democratic strategist and occidental college professional caroline heldman,
12:12 am
and from washington, cnn political commentator and former republican congressman charlie dent. good to see you both. >> great to see you, rosemary. >> good to be here. >> the big political story, of course, donald trump announcing a very early bid for president in 2024, his third attempt. and it comes after his big losses in the midterm elections. and when republicans and party donors are pointing the finger of blame at trump for the gop's abysmal showing, charlie, what will likely happen now with florida governor ron desantis and mike pence of course also both of them waiting in the wings along with others? >> well, first, i think most republicans really are very upset about the president's announcement. because there is a georgia runoff going on. many feel that his announcement will not help the candidacy of herschel walker in georgia. that the runoff will become much more about donald trump. so that's a big problem. the other issue, i think donald trump is trying to condition the
12:13 am
field for 2024. by jumping in now, he is essentially issuing a challenge to his would-be challengers mike pence, ron desantis, chris christie, governor hogan and others who might jump in, saying come on, jump in. frankly, i think donald trump would prefer if more of them jumped into the race. with a larger field, that would likely help donald trump gain a plurality in the nomination process. so right now i think trump is just throwing down the gauntlet. he wants in, even though he is a diminished figure. his star is setting, not rising. and he is certainly taking a lot of the blame for republican underperformance in last week's election, as he should be. given the fact that he made the election about himself and unhelpfully intervened in so many of the primaries, helping to nominate candidates who were unfit and really added to significant republican losses. so he's in, and we'll see how
12:14 am
these others react. but i think some of his would-be challengers won't jump into the race as long as trump is in there as a viable figure because of his strong basis of support. >> interesting. and caroline, trump's announcement is a gift for democrats. but they won't be so happy if and when ron desantis enters the field. how big a threat is he to joe biden? and will trump overcome the new interest that the gop has now in ron desantis? >> well, i think the primary will weaken ron desantis because donald trump is still the most popular member of the party. although some early republican polls are finding that desantis bests trump in some of these key early primaries. now it's way too far out for us to really know anything. and that's part of the problem. why are we talking about this two years before presidential election? it's simply exhausting. but i do imagine that donald trump will inspire what he inspired in 2020, which is historic voter turnout. it was the highest turnout this
12:15 am
century, the highest turnout since the 1960s. nearly two-thirds of voters turned out to vote, and that's about a 10-point bump over typical midterm elections. and people were not voting for joe biden. he was just fine. he doesn't really inspire democrats if you look at polls. people were turning out to vote against donald trump. so if trump is the nominee, i expect really high turnout. and if he is not the nominee, i expect that desantis will be pretty bloodied by the end of the primary battle. >> and of course meantime the gop surprise losses in the midterms, particularly in the senate have triggered leadership wars within the party with senate minority leader mitch mcconnell coming under threat from rick scott. what will likely be the outcome of that leadership fight do you think, charlie? >> well, look, the roadside is littered with the carcasses of people who have underestimated mitch mcconnell. yes, there appears to be a bit
12:16 am
of a challenge brewing to mitch mcconnell. but it clearly appears that mitch mcconnell has more than enough votes to be the republican leader in the senate. i know some of them are trying to say that -- some of his challengers are trying to suggest that somehow some of the problem is republicans in the senate didn't have an agenda to run on. truth is the midterm elections are always about the party in power with the president. it's not so much about the agenda of the party out of power. so i think some of the folks challenging mcconnell right now are trying to deflect blame from themselves because they were too close to the election denial movement. just too close to too much of the excesses of donald trump, and frankly too supportive of too many of the candidates who the american people rejected because they were seen too extreme. republicans lost the election not because of mitch mcconnell, but because of the dobbs decision. donald trump's unhelpful
12:17 am
interventions into these primary contests that nominated these unfit candidates, and again the election denialism and looking back at 2020. so it's a bunch of reasons why republicans lost. i would say those are the biggest reasons, and probably most especially the dobbs decision on abortion. >> and caroline, we are all used to seeing disunity within the democratic party, but now it's the republicans that are battling at all levels from the fight for the presidency to leadership squabbles in the senate and the house. what do you think will likely happen to the very calculating mitch mcconnell, and also, because i think you've got the last question here to answer, let's talk about kevin mccarthy. because while he has the votes for now and will likely take the speakership role in the house, he's going to really struggle, isn't he, with that razor-thin majority. >> it's not a job that i would want. kevin mccarthy certainly has his work cut out for him, as you
12:18 am
point out, rosemary. we will have a very slim majority in the house. while getting that majority means you run the board in terms of committee chairpersonship, in terms of what ad hoc committees are set up. we expect to see a lot of investigations of hunter biden and these partisan investigations which republicans are fond of doing, and sometimes democrats, we'll see a lot of that. but what you'll also see is kevin mccarthy having to capitulate to the extremists in his party, the freedom caucus and others simply because he has so little leeway because he won't have much of a majority. and he also has to pitch to the center. he has to keep everyone happy. that is an impossible job. and it is one that he may not hold in january because he actually needs to garner 218 -- sorry, yes, 218 votes, not the 188 he has now. once they get back in session, he needs everyone together. and that means something along the lines of what he has already
12:19 am
done, which is gone with his head and his hat in his hand and going and apologizing to folks who he was critical of post january 6th. so not a fun job for kevin mccarthy moving forward. >> we're all watching very carefully. caroline heldman, charlie dent. many thanks. viewer analysis appreciated. >> thanks, rosemary. inflation in the united kingdom has soared to a 41-year high, reaching 11.1% last month that is a sharp rise from september when it was just over 10%. the biggest increases are food prices and home energy coasts with british households now paying almost double for electricity and gas compared to last year. the new government data was published just a day before finance minister jeremy hunt is due to nunes new tax hikes and spending can yous to help curb inflation. >> three, two, one, boosters and
12:20 am
ignition and liftoff of artemis 1. we rise together back to the moon and beyond. >> there it is. the third time is a charm. the artemis 1 moon rocket blasted off a short time ago for a 26-day administration, despite some delays earlier due to technical glitches. the rocket is now officially the most powerful one ever to reach earth's orbit after the first launch attempts were scrubbed in august and september. late tuesday, the team had to address an issue tied to a crucial radar system. they also had to fix another liquid hydrogen leak. this first phase of the artemis mission is an unmanned test flight, and the ultimate goal is to return astronauts to the moon, and some day send humans to mars. and we will have much more on the historic mission later this hour in a live report. well, as donald trump announces another bid for the white house, politics isn't the
12:21 am
only thing he has got on his plate. we will run through the lawsuits, investigations and controversies involving the former president. that's just ahead. stay with us. how could you? wake up to a new you. with mucinex nightshift, it's not cold d and flu season. it's always comeback season. it makes it really easasy and seamless pick an order print everything you need slap the label on ito the box and it's ready to go our cost for spping, were cut in half just like th go to shipstation/tv and get 2 months free two ads of snot covered laundry. only one will be sanitiz. wait, what? adding lysol laundry sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria detergent alone, can't. introducing the new sleep number climate360 smart bed. the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms and effortlessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night.
12:25 am
we are still two years away from the 2024 presidential election, but one white house hopeful has already thrown his hat in the ring. donald trump says joe biden's america is in ruins with rampant crime, spiraling inflation, and the war in ukraine. trump says his policies will make america great again and restore america's standing on the world stage. the former president played down
12:26 am
the disappointing performance by republicans in last week's midterm elections, claiming americans don't realize how bad things are. well, many democrats are expressing their delight at trump's announcement. some say they would love their party to take on the twice impeached former president in 2024. others are looking forward to a bruising republican primary, possibly between trump and florida governor ron desantis. president biden tweeted "donald trump failed america. and even a number of republicans are expressing doubt about trump's new white house bid. take a listen. >> we need as a party to move past president trump. >> trump is dagg the party down. >> trump's cost us the last three elections. and i don't want to see it happen a fourth time. >> welsh as donald trump faces the political challenges of rubbing for president again, he is also dealing with a number of legal headaches. investigations stemming from the
12:27 am
2020 election and the january 6th insurrection at the u.s. capitol are just part of his problems. tom foreman breaks it down. >> reporter: the former president is facing a constellation of legal challenges which could derail any future plans he has, and they are very active right now. the grand jury probe in atlanta into whether trump illegally tried to overturn georgia's 2020 election will see several big names testifying this week. former white house aide cassidy hutchinson as well as brian kemp and lindsey graham of south carolina, now that their twin legal attempts to avoid appear having failed. scheduled next week retired general flynn. the new york attorney general has a $250 million lawsuit against trump, his three eldest children, and others tied to the trump organization, accusing them of alternative financial fraud. the manhattan district attorney is steaming through a criminal
12:28 am
trial against the trump organization, alleging a series of illegal tax dodges with former chief financial officer allen weisselberg testifying. trump has consistently denied all of the claims in these cases. then there is mar-a-lago and the papers seized by the fbi amid suspicions trump may have illegally taken sensitive documents from the white house to his florida home. just this week, trump's team said in a new filing that all the material was personal because allegedly trump said so while president. the justice department says nonsense. allowing a president that kind of power would nullify the whole purpose of the law protecting presidential records for the public. then there is the big bear, january 6th. the congressional select committee says the deadline passed. trump failed to comply with their subpoena for documents and testimony about his actions around the january 6th insurrection. his legal team has alreadied the
12:29 am
committee has no right to such things, but that claim could face a much stiffer test if the department of justice probe into january 6th produces, as some think it might, charges against trump. again, trump says in all this he has done nothing wrong. but any of it could pose serious challenges to whatever he wants to do next. well, in the past few hours, cnn has called several races in the u.s. house of representatives, projecting three seats for republicans and three for democrats, with 11 races still outstanding. these latest projections give republicans a total of 217 seats in the house. now that means they need just one more to take control of the chamber. and still to come, the latest on the deadly missile that landed in polish territory as poland and nato investigate
12:30 am

12:35 am
the missile landed about 6 1/2 kilometers or 4 miles west of the ukrainian border at roughly the same time that russia launched its biggest wave of missile attacks on ukrainian cities in a month. a nato official tells cnn that a nato aircraft flying in polish airspace tracked that missile. the polish president says his country is trying to determine who is responsible. >> reporter: of course we know that all day today russia was attacking ukraine with rockets, but we do not have any conclusive evidence at the moment as to who launched this missile. the investigation is under way. >> and a short time ago, i spoke with an adviser to the ukrainian defense minister, and i asked him if it was possible that this missile, which killed two polish
12:36 am
civilians on polish territory was fired by ukraine. >> at this stage, it is very important to be very cautious with definitive conclusions. of course this incident, this tragic incident, it happened on the poland. so we'll have to wait until the final conclusions of their investigation. and of course we have said yesterday that we welcome a full and thorough investigation of this incident. but what we have to understand is that yesterday was the largest missile attack on our country since the beginning of this large scale invasion. almost 100 missiles were fired at ukraine. millions of people have been left without electricity. so this is an important thing that happened yesterday. and neither this massive attack nor the tragic incident in poland would have happened, you know, if this war was not going on. if russia did not invade our
12:37 am
country. if ukrainian skies were closed. and we've been requesting to close our skies for a long time now. and we're talking to our international partners about this almost on a daily basis. and actually, today there will be a lunchtime meeting of the ministers of defense of 50 countries. and we believe and we are almost confident that the air defense capabilities of ukraine will continue to be a top priority both for us and future our international partners. >> and for more, we go now to melissa bell, who joins us live from nato headquarters in brussels. good to see you, melissa. so the consequences of this missile landing in poland are immense, of course. and that is exactly why an investigation is so crate cal. what are you learning? >> it is because of all the potential consequences, the invoking of article 4, article 5 were at some point decided this has been a strike that poland considered a threat to itself.
12:38 am
of course what is going on in the ground in that village near the polish boarder where the tragic events unfolded. and then there is what we're to be hear here at nato headquarters in the next 20 minutes or so, a meeting will begin of nato ambassadors. and the first thing they're going to be looking at, rosemary, is what all of the intelligence from the united states, from all the nato alliance partners to look at what they believe this missile came from, what its origin was, and what the most likely scenario is. then they will discuss of course what response needs to follow. and of course what they're going to have to do, it is try and find a response that is at once unified and strong and clear, but without necessarily -- they're going to have to be extremely careful what the response is. the first is to figure out what happened. but almost certainly, regardless of what we find out about the origin of the missile, and if it
12:39 am
doesn't turn out it is a ukrainian anti-missile for instance that was used, even so, this is likely to re-ignite. it's begun already there has been a call on the party of ukraine and the most closest countries of nato, the baltic states and poland have long been calling for a no-fly zone. whatever happens this is no doubt a call that will be refueled gwynn new life as of a result of the events last night of poland with ukraine, rosemary. >> absolutely. thank you rvelgs melissa bell keeping a close eye on all of that, joining us live from brussels. appreciate it. next here on "cnn newsroom," after weeks of delays, the hart miss 1 mission is finally under way. and we will have the latest on the launch and what nasa hopes to achieve. that's ahead in a live report.

12:44 am
three, two, one, boosters and ignition, and liftoff of artemis 1. we rise together back to the moon and beyond. >> after a nail-biting series of technical glitches and delays, the artemis 1 rocket blasted off just a couple of hours ago for its 26-day mission to the moon. the team had to address critical radar issues and a hydrogen fuel leak shortly before the launch
12:45 am
window opened. it was the third attempt to launch this rocket, the most powerful ever built. the first phase of the artemis mission is an unmanned test flight, and the ultimate goal is to return astronauts to the moon. and some day send humans to mars. i'm joined by kristen fisher who is at the kennedy space center in florida. and kristen, great to have you with us again. so you're not far from where the artemis launched. and i know we did this last hour, but we do want to show that video again of your reaction the moment it launched. let's take a look. >> oh my god! woo-hoo! >> so kristen, tell us what was going through your mind there. because just an extraordinary moment. i know you've been following this, and there it was, success at last. >> yeah, a few things, rosemary.
12:46 am
one, i couldn't believe that after all these delays, two hurricanes, that it was finally launching. but watching it back there, i was also struck by the fact that what this rocket did was it really turned this entire area from night into day in a matter of seconds. it was like a super accelerated sunrise. and then there was also this incredible crackle caused by those solid rocket boosters that not only were just incredibly loud, but you could literally feel them shake your body, shake your skin almost. so those are kind of two things that i feel like it's hard to really capture on tv. but being here, you got the sense that this whole sky turned into daylight as those solid rocket boost errs and the four engines were firing, rosemary. >> yeah, just extraordinary. and after that long-awaited successful launch, what are you learning about its progress so far? >> so far everything is going great. the solar arrays have deployed
12:47 am
on the orion spacecraft. they've also just completed what's called the translunar injection. it's a burn essentially which means there is an engine on the orion spacecraft separate from the sls rocket. and it completed this roughly 18-minute-long burn. so now the orion spacecraft is well on its way to the moon. and it's going to take between five and six days for it to get there. then it's going to get within about 60 miles of the lunar surface, very close. we should be able to get some great images of that beamed back here to earth. then it's going to fly farther than any other spacecraft designed to carry humans has ever flown, before finally coming back to earth and splashing down some time in mid-december, i believe december 11th or 12th. but rosemary, all systems good so far. an incredible launch. and so far this mission to the
12:48 am
moon is going very smoothly. >> yeah, an incredible journey, isn't it? and kristin, talk to us about the significance of this mission and what, of course, they're actually trying to achieve overall. >> well, this is really the dawn of the artemis era, right? like during the '60s and '70s, it was all about the apollo program and those men who stepped foot on the surface of the men. but this is a new generation. it's the beginning of the artemis generation, which in greek mythology, artemis is apollo's twin sister. this program is about two things, really. it's about landing the first woman and the first person of color on the moon. it's about setting a staging ground for some day going on to mars. but the other big difference between artemis and apollo, rosemary, this time nasa wants to leafve a lot more than flags and footprints. they want to build a base.
12:49 am
a permanent human presence on the moon. and tonight's launch is really the beginning of that. rosemary? >> of course, as you point out, this is unmanned. what's the timeline for when they have a crew on board? >> well, that is -- that's what everybody wants to know, right? if all goes according to plan, they are hoping to have artemis ii, the first crewed mission, some time in 2024. that would just take astronauts around the moon. and then artemis iii would be the first mission where you actually have astronaut boots on the surface of the moon that would likely happen some time in 2025. but one other little bit of exciting news that we learned tonight from nasa administrator bill nelson, or i should say wait, it's this morning. so that should be last night. i have to get any times straight here, rosemary. but nasa administrator bill nelson said last night that if this mission, artemis i is a success, that they would then
12:50 am
