"cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. hello and a very warm welcome to our viewers joining us. i'm bianca nobilo. >> i'm max foster. >> a smaller margin than the republicans would hope for but a win. >> the american people are looking for new people. >> i think we'll have better choices than my old running mate. >> a russian made missile striking a nato ally and setting the world on edge. >> nato, washington, they're correct when they say russia ultimately is responsible.

it's thursday, november 17th. a slim majority is reshaping the balance and majority of the house. republicans have 218 seats needed to be in power when they take over the chamber in january. >> the republican majority will be razor thin but they'll still call the shots with committee assignments and legislation. they've already signaled investigations into the biden administration will be a high priority. >> democrat nancy pelosi is losing her position as house speaker. she's set to announce her future plans later today. kevin mccarthy is planning to take the gavel from pelosi next january. there are already indications he could face a tough challenge for the speakership. mitch mcconnell has secured another two-year term. he's on track to become the longest serving party leader in senate history. cnn's manu raju reports from

washington. >> the gop failure to take back the senate -- >> the country is screwed for the next four years because of this. >> mitch mcconnell re-elected for another two years as republican leader. for the first time in his 15 years as leader facing a challenge, republican rick scott. the vote 37 for mcconnell, 10 for scott, one voting president. >> what lesson did you learn and will you change your approach at all? >> first, i don't own this job. anybody who wants to run for it can feel free to do so. as everyone has said, we had a good opportunity to discuss various differences and i'm pretty proud of 37 to 10. >> behind closed doors for more than three hours, republicans engaged in an intense debate for the second straight day. some criticizing scott's tenure

others calling on mcconnell to be more inclusive. >> what is our plan? what are we running on. >> some say it rests with mcconnell, not former president donald trump who pushed senate candidates that ultimately lost critical races. >> i think mcconnell says trump is larger than life. i've said i don't agree with that. >> mitch mcconnell's leadership style, what is it that you don't like? >> i look for something that tries to get us in a better place than where we have been. >> reporter: mcconnell has yet to publicly blame trump but told cnn that certain people in the party frighten moderate voters. >> their impression of many of the people in our party and leadership rolls is that they're launching into chaos, negativity, excessive attacks. >> reporter: now cnn has projected that the republicans will retake control of the u.s. house, meaning that they will have the power to set the

agenda. they will have the power to drive the investigations on the committee. the power to issue subpoenas. we expect on thursday morning two committee chair men to begin to lay out their investigative priorities, namely investigating the president's son, hunter biden, and overseas business dealings will be a big part of the agenda. they still have to legislate. that will be difficult given the divide and the likelihood this will be a razor thin house majority meaning kevin mccarthy, if he becomes the next speaker of the house, will have a very difficult time navigating the two wings and making sure there is as few defect shuns as possible to get his agenda through. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. after the republicans reach the 218 seats in the house, president biden offered an olive branch. >> he pitched saying the

american people want us to get things done. i will work with anyone to deliver results for them. cnn is projecting karen bass has made history becoming the first woman to be elected the mayor of los angeles. >> she managed to defeat her rival republican ryick caruso wo outspent her by $100,000. >> in 2020 she was on the shosht list of potential candidates for vice president. >> 12 republicans voted to move forward. it still needs approval by the house before president biden can sign it into law. >> while the legislation wouldn't require all states to legalize same-sex marriage but it would require them to

recognize it. at a cnn town hall former vice president mike pence faced questions from members of the audience. the capitol insurrection of course. mike pence says he doesn't plan to testify before the january 6th committee but admits it was the most difficult day of his public life. >> it saddens me, but that day it angered me. i must tell you, when the secret service took us down to the loading dock accompanied by my wife, my daughter saar lot and her secret service detail, i was determined to stay at my post. i told the secret service that i was not leaving the capitol. i didn't want to give those people the sight of a 16 car motorcade speeding away from the capitol that day but frankly when i saw those images and when

i read a tweet that president trump issued saying that i lacked courage in that moment, it angered me greatly. but to be honest with you, i didn't have time for it. the president had decided in that moment to be a part of the problem. i decided and was determined to be part of the solution. >> pence says that when he first saw donald trump after the riot the former president was, quote, deeply remorseful in that moment. jool new details are emerging about the shocking killings of four university of idaho students last weekend. police say there were two roommates in the house during the attack and that both have been fully cooperative with the investigation. so far no suspects have been identified. >> this comes as new video surfaced showing two of the victims the night of their murder. the students who were found dead in an off campus residence are heard on the video ordering from a food truck in the early hours of sunday and seen chatting with

each other and other people standing by the truck. the image comes from the food truck's twitch stream. more from lucy cavanaugh. >> we do not have a suspect at this time and be that individual is still out there. we cannot say that there's no threat to the community. >> reporter: with a killer on the loose, police in moscow, idaho, trying to calm a community on edge shaken by the brutal killings of four young students. >> but the reality is, is there's still a person out there who committed four horrible, horrible crimes so i think we've got to go back to there is a threat out thereto still. >> reporter: the students bodies were found inside this home across from the university of idaho campus sunday. police say two were at a party on campus while two others were at a downtown bar. all returned home sometime before 1:45 a.m. what happened after remains a misystery mystery. >> the four were stabbed with a

knife but no weapon has been located at this time. there was no sign of forced entry into the residence. we're not 100% sure if the door was unlocked, but there was no damage to anything and the door was still open when we got there. >> reporter: the coroner describing a graus some scene. >> there was quite a bit of blood in the apartment. it was a pretty traumatic scene to find four dead college students in a residence. >> reporter: the victims all members of greek life on campus appear to have been friends. pictured in this photo pictured by kayleigh before their death. kayleigh was killed alongside danica noodle, and 21-year-old madison mogul and 21-year-old ethan chapin. the university president deeply

shaken. >> first, my condolences to the families and friends. excuse me. their loss has been devastating and they were bright lives in our community. >> we're still trying to process it. it's not a call you think you have to deal with funeral home directors, the fbi and have it hit national news. >> reporter: the families who should have been planning thanksgiving day dinner now making funeral arrangements while demanding answers and justice. the police chief was asked about comments describing this as a crime of passion. the chief refusing to speculate whether it's one thing or another, saying only that authorities are, quote, looking into every aspect of this. for the grieving families and the shaken community, there are still more questions than

answers. lucy cavanaugh, cnn, denver. the man convicted of plowing his vehicle into a crowd at a christmas parade in wisconsin will spend the rest of his life in prison. darryl brooks received six life sentences wednesday with no chance for parole. he was found guilty last month on all 76 counts stemming from last year's attack that left six people dead and dozens injured. north korea is warning of fiercer military responses to the bolstered defense ties to south korea and japan. it comes as pyongyang fired a short range ballistic missile. >> it was launched from the country's east coast before landing in the waters off the korean peninsula. it is the 33rd day they carried out a test. anna, obviously missile tests, belligerent rhetoric is par for the course in north korea.

we did see a sharp response between the u.s. and south korea. how severe is the deterioration in this relationship? >> bianca, it's been more than a week since we've had any missile testing out of north korea. they've been very well behaved whilst global leaders have been here. that all changed this morning. south korea saying it is a ma c4. once again it broke u.n. security council resolutions. hours earlier the north korean foreign minister had issued a threatening statement promising a fiercer military response towards the military following a try lateral meeting that had been held on the sidelines of the asean summit last sunday in cambodia. it was there that they had

issued a joint statement in response to this recent aggressive behavior from north korea pledging greater security cooperation between the three countries. now north korea's foreign minister said that these talks as well as these recent military exercises that you mentioned, bianca, earlier this month has brought the situation to an unpredictable phase on the korean peninsula. as you say, this is the 3rd day north korea has fired missiles and both believe it's only a matter of days before north korea conducts the seventh nuclear test. that will be the first time since 2017. now south korea's foreign ministry said a short time ago that pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests will only further strengthen ties and, quote, worsen international isolation of north korea. bianca, max, back to you. >> anna coren live from hong

kong. thank you. more drama at twitter hq as the new boss, elon musk, sends an email with a stunning ultimatum. >> we'll show you what your thanksgiving dinner will cost you this year. >> winter storm is pounding upstate new york with a state of emergency to kick in later today. >> the national weather system using words like paralyzing with the potential of over three feet of snow. not everybody is going to experience this be heavy snow ban. i will describe why and who gets hit hardest comiming up after t break. waaaay longer than detergent alone. pour a cap of downy unstopables into your washining machine before each load. and enjoy fresher smelling laundry. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters. shop for downy unstopables online,

and learn how abbvie could help you save. new york is in for several feet of new snow as a powerful storm pummels the northeast. derek van dam joins us with the details. good morning, derek. >> good morning, max. residents of the great lakes are preparing for a major winter storm starting today lasting through a better part of the weekend. there's a large caveat with that sentence and that is not everyone is going to experience the heavy snow. i'll explain why.

here's the latest winter weather alerts. notice the lake effect winter snow warning. this is a lake enhanced s snow machine. this is why this is important. off of lake erie and lake ontario is a banding putting some locations in the heavy snow band. you can see the snow band right about here. winds in a due westerly direction. if you are traveling 10 miles to the north or 10 miles to the south you get nothing. so this is what we're talking about, an extremely localized event. miles matter and it is really going to set the stage for the potential for historic snowfall. we've got the stage set in terms of temperatures. we're waking up to over 200 million americans below freezing. compare that to the relatively warm lake waters. remember water maintains heat longer than the air does. we get the combination of warm water creating instability. once the cold air rushes over top of it it cools, condenses, creates cloud.

eventually the wind pushes that moisture that it creates right over the land creating snowfall. it's certainly cold enough to see that. our forecast radar picking up on that. in terms of snowfall totals, we're not going to be measuring that in inches. for many specific locations for buffalo new york into water town, new york, those are the two areas that the national weather service has highlighted with the discussions like paralyzing snowstorms as a possibility. we're already seeing do you believe digit marks. the wind direction is important and so isn't the wind speed. forecast from 25 to 45. this is important, i'll draw this on the map. notice the southwesterly wind starting to shape up into the course of the second half of the weekend. that is going to put buffalo and water town within the cross hairs for the potential of extremely heavy snowfall. it's all thanks to the cold fronts pressing through setting the stage for this lake-effect

snow machine be to kick into high gear. >> color that map. derek, thank you. well, i'm back at the wall so i must be talking about inflation and recession which are on the minds of many americans, especially with tech companies like twitter and amazon laying off thousands of workers. we have the latest look at the economy when the labor department releases its weekly jobless figures in a few hours time. americans be will pay more when they sit down to the thanksgiving table. they'll pay 20% more for the whole dinner and 21% more for the turkey. meals consisting of turkey, cranberry, pumpkin pie mix will increase $20. the. retail giant target is warning of a sluggish holiday season after its profits plunged

52%. shopping trends have been impacted by inflation, rising interest rates and economic uncertainty but the census bureau reported that in general u.s. retail sales rose by a little over 1% in october, the month before. if you live in new york or you're planning to visit, you should know that taking a taxi will soon cost you a lot more too because fares are expected to rise by 23% by the end of the year. that includes an increase to a $70 flat rate for a cab from jfk international airport to wherever you are going. they're blaming it on inflation and the higher costs of operating taxis. we want to update you now on a story we first reported on monday. amazon confirmed it's begun laying off some 10,000 employees and it's just one of the numerous tech companies to recently announce layoffs and job freezes. more on that. >> a grim business update. >> yes.

sorry for not bringing the good news but what can i done? >> we're going to talk about elon musk now. he took to the stand wednesday in a lawsuit over his salary package at tesla which in 2018 was $56 billion. the suit was brought by shareholders as musk wasn't even required to work full time as ceo. lawyers say it was encouraged to provide bold steps. musk is also making headlines for the massive shakeup of twitter's new boss. an internal email obtained by cnn gives every twitter employee an ultimatum. either work extremely hard core or you'll be shown the door. today is their deadline to decide. >> i'm really working at the absolute most amount that i can work from morning till night seven days a week. >> reporter: speaking from a

room which he said had lost power, ee long musk detailing his new power. >> i have too much work on my plate, that is for sure. >> touting his personal work ethic and then telling staff in a memo shortly after they need to much commit to extremely hard core work. >> last time i literally slept on the floor. >> it is pushing people to a limit beyond what most of us would consider fair. if you look back at tesla and spacex, what he is asking people to accomplish under tight deadlines we don't even know if tech is technically possible. >> to say that musk is a bit much is an understatement. he has canceled much of twitter's work from home policy which just eight months ago

allowed employees to work from home forever if they wanted. musk seems to thrive on disruption promising, quote, to do a lot of dumb things and some would argue already doing. >> it's mania mixed with chaos. it's hard to know what goes from here. >> others argue twitter might benefit from musk's brand as experimentation. >> we have to remember musk comes from a culture of spacex. it is acceptable for a $100 million rocket to explode and you can move on and build the next day. if you come up messing up a check mark on twitter is not as big a deal in their eyes. >> it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport. >> reporter: musk is a leader known for his desire to change the world. >> liftoff! >> reporter: and for having some success doing it.

>> i think it's very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech. >> reporter: his vision for twitter, a company he tried to back out of buying, may prove his most divisive yet. claire sebastian, cnn, london. legal headaches are mounting for ftx. an investor is suing founder same bank man fried and a bunch of investors. >> the plaintiff's attorneys call ftx a massive ponzi skrien. >> they're calling on janet yellen nor more tekttive oversight. mike pence opens up about his former boss. why he thinks trump's 2024 political campaign might not be a good idea.

at cnn's town hall mike pence refused to say whether he'd support his old boss. >> the american people are looking for new leadership, leddership that will unite us, leadership that will reflect the civility and respect most americans have for one another. once you get out of politics you learn pretty quickly while our politics is very divided, the american people actually get along pretty well every day. and treat each other with kindness and with dye accepts si. i think in the days that hit whatever role i and my family play, whether it's as a candidate or part of the cause, i think we'll have better choices. >> bet injury choices? >> than my old running mate. i think america longs to go back to the policies that are, working for the american people but i think it's time for new

leadership. >> pence left the door open. i'd say he went a bit further. there were hef -- events. president biden says ukrainian forces were not responsible for the deadly missile strike in poland. >> reporter: what's your reaction to president zelenskyy saying the missiles that landed in poland were not ukrainian? >> that's not the evidence. >> nato and peel lisch officials say the missile which killed two people was likely launched by ukrainian forces defending against russian attacks. the incident has rattled nerves around the globe as russia's war in ukraine now threatens to spill over into nato territory. >> ukraine's president says he's not convinced it came from his forces. he reached tout his russian

co counterpart. >> some success was made. there's professionals there to do the forensics. all the debris that's in and around the impact site and so on and so forth. very shortly we'll know all the facts. we just don't know them right at this point. >> so russia did not take the call? >> right. my staff was unsuccessful in getting me connected. nada bashir is here and we begin with nick robertson who's in kyiv. they've made it quite clear, they do not blame ukraine. whatever happened with russia and ukraine. zelenskyy is asking to join the investigation and get all of the details there with the partners. it's clear ukraine wants to clarify this but is it a problem they're challenging nato's

understanding of events. >> reporter: it doesn't seem at the moment they are challenging it. i think what we heard was president biden commenting on something president zelenskyy said earlier in the day when he spoke to local reporters here, that he said it wasn't ukrainian missile, but he was convinced of that. after getting p off the plane responded to it. president zelenskyy made the nightly a tres can. he said, ukraine's position is transparent. ukraine is providing full data so i think the u ukrainian officials were in the proximity of the polish border where the two polish people were killed when the missile came down. the ukrainian air force or

ukrainian air defense forces were, in fact, trying to take down a russian missile. i think all the indications from the ukrainian side now is in line with the -- with the allies and nato. i think what you get a sense of it is the way that the ukrainian leadership is concerned that russia may try to spin this against them and of course that investigation will undoubtedly try to find out what russian missile was flying in that area, what was its intended target or was it, indeed, flag close to the border to induce ukraine to try and shoot it down in an area where this sort of inches doesn't could happen? of course, the kremlin is saying that ukraine is sort of fabricating this scenario to try to build tensions so i think what we're getting a sense of politically and militarily from the ukrainians is let's wait to see where the evidence leads.

we want to have a hand in working to find out what all the details are and our information that we have is all readily available. i think the situation has moved on from that moment when president zelenskyy spoke with journalists and president biden commented on it. >> thankfully the mood has changed. when this first happened, people were very worried about this whole thing escalating and affecting nato and nato being drawn in. how do you think that deescalation worked? it seemed effective. elise? >> the polish authorities have from the get-go maintained they are acting with restraint. they want to access all of the information on the ground. the preliminary information, evidence suggests this wasn't a deliberate action but the polish authorities have been clear that

they are carrying out the investigation and that this will be an extensive and multi-phased investigation. and this will take some time. they won't issue any final conclusions until that investigation is complete. we have heard vehement rhetoric with any allegations from the kremlin, from the russian side, the russian ambassador also issuing a statement accusing nato of attempting to launch a proxy war in ukraine. take a listen. >> translator: to involve nato, which is conducting a proxy war with russia, the u.s. military has actively become involved in planning or control. >> they are acting with restraint. they are still stepping up their combat readiness with the polish

military in response be to this. we've heard from the u.n. chief saying he will be stepping up for support for the ukrainian sources. there are still concerns. >> nada, we'll keep watching it. thank you. a cringe worthy moment on the last day of the g20. the awkward exchange between china and dacanada. you do want to see this. it's good. wow.w. says for you, it's more like 5:15. man: mom, r really? with n new chapter multi-vitamn gummies, you get so much more than just... mmm. ... more nutrients. more research and more organic ingredients. yoalso get less sugar and that means less ndy posing as vitamins. new chapter. that's wellness, well ne. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000

public school district in uvalde, texas, has hired a new police chief after the predecessor was fired. police waited over an hour to confront the gunman who killed 19 children and 2 teachers. the city will hold a special meeting on saturday to determine the fate of a top officer who was the acting police chief on the day of the massacre. a uvalde official tells cnn he's

expected to be fired at the meeting if he isn't before then. >> everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper. that's not the process. >> that's not the way the conversation was presented. >> it was open and frank. >> we'll continue to have it and continue to work constructively together but there will be things we will disagree on. >> translator: that's great. the conditions first. >> chinese president xi jinping scolding the canadian prime minister. trudeau has reportedly raised serious concerns over china's domestic interference after saying china meddled in canada's elections. >> we will be joined by cnn's will ripley. will, that is a rather

embarrassing entertaining exchange to see. how typical is that of the broader relationship and what we understand to be the dynamic between the two men? is that public putdown likely to erode trust and worsen their relationship? >> reporter: it certainly was an awkward exchange, wasn't it sfwh imagine if you're the translator there basically dressing down the prime minister of canada, one of the most important u.s. allies over something that china and particularly xi have long been unappreciative of, which is the leaky nature of western democracies. xi jinping and china, his government, they don't leak things about conversations, but when he is engaging with the western world where it's much more common for the press to learn details of discussions, and there was in fact canadian news cameras that captured that very candid and awkward moment, this is why you see that bit of tension and really kind of a

muscular face-to-face diplomatic approach on the part of xi jinping. people in china are not seeing that clip because they're not showing it on chinese state media. those who are on the web for china, perhaps some of the diplomatic warriors have been praising him for standing up in that situation. and in terms of justin trudeau himself, he dismissed the severity of this incident. this is just one of those things that happens when you're getting together and having frank conversations. >> translator: listen, i think that people know that not all the conversations are going to be easy with the other leaders, especially when it comes to issues that are sources of disag disagreement. >> reporter: beginning on monday in bali when xi jinping met with the u.s. president joe biden for three hours, a diplomatic reset between the u.s. and china as both try to avoid a

confrontation, xi pushing back on the narrative of some sort of battle between autocracy and democracy. the system is chinese style democracy. after that meeting with the u.s. president he met with four u.s. allies, australia, france, netherlands, south korea. he'll be meeting with the japanese prime minister and certainly a whirlwind of activities, face-to-face interactions to make up for lost time. three years of self-imposed pandemic isolation. >> will ripley, thank you so much. interesting it's being blocked in china. xi jinping comes across as the more dominant, in control party. >> the fact it was compounded by conversation about the leak being leaked, it was meant to be a private conversation with a canadian camera there. yeah, it was a moment, wasn't it? also effectively accusing

trudeau of misrepresenting the conversation as well in the leaks. >> yes. the dynamic reminded me of going to the headmaster's office. >> yes, and neither of you stepping down so you sort of step away. >> yeah. the iranian regime is continuing to crack down on antigovernment protests over the death of a young woman in police custody. state media says three more protesters have been gurch death sentences on various charges to 25. t the. >> demonstrations also took place across the country on the three-year anniversary of the deadly november 2019 protest. in this video shared online by an activist outlet. iranian authorities are pointing a weapon at protesters on a subway in iran. tensions between israel and iran are high after a drone attack off the coast of iman.

to go to witch doctors. it will bring back the first 3,000 people that were brought into contact with the ebola and track them. >> these vaccines have been tested so our further testing is about efficacy and how long it protects. we want to see if within 29 days the contacts can quickly generate antibodies and can protect themselves. >> reporter: uganda will reveal the data from the first trial and expand it. the country's closing the school year early to make sure there's no outbreak in schools.
