hello and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united

states, canada and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on cnn newsroom. much of the u.s. is shivering under freezing temperatures with new york in the great lakes area bracing for paralyzing snow. the nation as -- saudi crown prince the mandate officials say approved the execution of khashoggi. i will speak to an adviser to ukraine's defense minister. >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. >> at this hour 6 million people in the u.s. are's bracing for severe winter storms. five states around the great lakes are under snow alerts. parts of new york are dealing with treacherous conditions after dealing with treacherous snow since wednesday. but it's stretching through the northwest, almost the entire

country is looking at freezing country. new york's governor had this somber warning. here she is. >> what we are talking about is a major, major storm. this is considered an extreme event, an extreme weather event. that means it's dangerous, and also means it's life threatening. >> cnn meteorologist derek van damme is trafficking at all for us. derek, walk us through what of the dangers are here. >> normally, on any given day snow and buffalo new york would not be leading the headlines of our show right. this is different. this is the potential to paralyze even cripple a cities infrastructure. we look back to 2014 when a similar snow event occurred. it crippled the city of buffalo, new york. and also collapsed some buildings disposition or weight of the snow that falls. and in time you see over three feet of snow, you're gonna have problems. this is localized in very centralized to western new york but there's also some heavy

snowfall occurring downwind from lake michigan and lake superior. that's where they have winter storm warnings. and a focus on what's happening downwind of lake erie and lake ontario. here's the latest radar. there's buffalo, there's watertown new york. both of these locations have the potential to see multiple feet of snow. you can normally see that sort of fire hose of a band of snow that is the lake effect snow band that has become snow important. and the direction of that wind will be so critical and who gets the most snow and who gets the most paralyzing impacts from this winter storm. 2 to 4 inches per hour look closely in the suburbs of buffalo. those are lightning strikes. thunder snow is common in this type of a set up. it's similar to an intense thunderstorms in parts of buffalo, but this is cold enough to see snow. we've already seen two feet in some locations and that wind direction is ever so important because it is really going to determine who sees the most

snow. we have more of a west-southwestern snow that sets the snow southwest of buffalo, and it is more southwesterly, and as more of an effect over lake erie, that means buffalo gets hit hardest. let me take you there, because i want to show you what it looks like on the shores of lake erie right now. it is blustery and this is one of those bands of snowfall moving in. it's going to dump 3 to 4 feet of snowfall for this area. just incredible. >> we'll keep watching that throughout the weekend. derek van damme in atlanta thank you so much. four years after the murder of journalist kamal josh kobe, they have to the u.s. is determined that the crown prince should be given immunity brought an elusive lawsuit and for him against the killing. -- elected a team of a sentence, kidnapped tortured and assassinated the journalist and dismembered his body.

2021 intelligence support so that the crown prince approved the operation. john from hong kong, anna coren, an extremely controversial decision to say the least. did the biden administration have a choice? here >> kim, they did. they had a choice not to make a recommendation but at the 11th hour decided to weigh in delivering an opinion to federal court that saudi crowned prince mohammed bin salman known as mbs should be granted immunity for his role in the killing of jamal khashoggi back in 2018. the reason they say is because mbs is now considered head of state after his father recently made his son prime minister. that's a move critics believe was to strengthen mbs's immunity claim. the state department says at sovereign immunity is based on quote long-standing and well established principles of common law. it's a suggestion of immunity for mbs is truly illegal

determination. it did however condemn the murder as heinous. khashoggi's fiancée filed a civil suit in washington court back in 2020 against mbs and others involved. u.s. intelligence came as you pointed out concluded that the saudi crown prince had ordered the murder of khashoggi, a washington post journalist who was an outspoken critic of mbs. now the crown prince is currently in asia. he's attending the apex summit in thailand, he arrived late last night and was greeted warmly by the prime minister. if we get to hear from him or any world leader for that matter. also expecting to hear from human rights groups. they will condemn this stance taken by the biden administration. let's now listen to sarah lee what's in the executive director of don, that human rights group founded by

khashoggi as well as filed the civil lawsuit against mbs. >> what we are doing by granting this concession to muhammad bin salman by shielding him from accountability is giving him a greenlight to keep at it, keep attacking people in the united states as he has been doing because they criticize him. keep chilling women and men in saudi arabia because they have an opinion about politics other country. keep subjecting yemen to a siege where millions of people are starving as a result of this idiotic war that he started. this is a green light. >> now president biden was in saudi arabia back in july trying to convince the kingdom to undo a series of oil production cuts. saudi arabia did not comply on that front, nor as it improved its human rights record leaving many can confused as to why the administration would recommend immunity for mbs. >> many questions swirling

about that. anna coren, thank you so much. major changes underway for democrats in the u.s. congress. the parties looking forward to new slate of leaders after speaker of the house nancy pelosi announced she would not run for another leadership posts. dems are likely to pick congressman roy hakeem jeffries. 52-year-old will be the first black person to lead the congress. 53-year-old kathy clark, and 54-year-old p aguilera is expected to run for supporting positions. >> the house will be in. order >> pelosi will remain in congress, representing the cisco area since 1987. she became the first and only woman to be elected speaker in 2006. the 82-year-old democrat helped pass barack obama's affordable care act in 2010, and she let democrats to impeach donald trump twice. >> i will not seek reelection

to democratic leadership annex congress. for me the hours comfort a new generation to lead the democratic congress that i so deeply respect. and i am grateful to that there are so many but who are willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility. >> pelosi will be giving up the speakers gavel in january since republicans run one control of the chamber and this month's midterm elections. president joe biden says he willing to work with a new republican majority but gop hard-liners are in no mood to reciprocate. on thursday, republican lawmakers made clear they intend to open numerous investigations into the biden administration and his family. republicans are are expected to use their new subpoena power to go of over homeland security over border security. they also want to investigate the private finances of the president son biden hunter. they want to look into the

covid-19 vaccine mandates. the white house is slamming the agenda as political revenge based on discredited conspiracy theories. joining me now at all of this is julie norman, an associate professor of politics and international relations and university college london,. thanks so much for being with us julie. let's start with their. the republicans planning to go after the biden administration and his family. how big a distraction will this be for biden as he attempts to work with the republican majority in the house? >> well kim, it's a distraction that certainly expected. the democrats expected this, when the republicans took the house, with the slim edge already they will use the time to hold biden's seat to the fire, making him as unelectable as possible going into 2024. the way they're gonna do that, is by having investigations. what that does is it just keeps the attention and the news

cycle and their own parties views on what they see as the main failures of a biden administration, from the afghanistan withdrawal to covid. and also especially around biden's son hunter. i think we'll see a lot of attention then, -- instead we'll see a lot of politics just leading up to 2024 and trying to smear the other side as much as possible. >> might this all kind of help democrats in a way? republicans said they would do better than biden on crime, inflation, the crush the economy. will they pay a price with moderate conservatives and independents if their scene is bringing washington to a standstill instead of concentrating those issues? keeping in mind that there are also some 30 house republicans who represent swing districts? >> that's exactly right kim and it's one reason why kevin

mccarthy whoever the speaker is going to be will have quite a challenge with keeping republicans on board and also not alienating moderates and independents across the country going into 2024. i think he is aware of that. i think they're doubling down on the fact that most republican voters will be into a lot of these issues and investigations that they're planning to look into. but at the end of the day, you have to be aware of the, and i think that's one reason why mccarthy and others have pullback on some earlier murmurs of impeaching biden. that's what we heard from marjorie taylor greene. i think they know not to push too hard on some of those things, but at the same time some of these investigations i think will play to a relatively broad conservative base. >> those extreme members as you mentioned will have a huge amount of power because of that narrow margin in the house there. let's turn out of the passing of the torch. nancy pelosi saying she's stepping on from democratic

leadership. first a quick look back. why was she so effective for so long from a democratic standpoint and what do you think her legacy will be? >> she did stand out as a strong leader and a very long lasting one for nearly two decades, the first woman speaker. she did several things that i think we're very consequential. first just moving through key democrat legislation over the obama and biden legislation. most notably the affordable care act, that biden's legislation as well, especially infrastructure and the inflation reduction act. she did that also while suffered in congress through some tough praising with covid covid. trying to keep the congress operating through the storm years of trump years. the democrats started to diverge and ways 15 more progressive and centrist wing. did manage to do all that. she obviously had her enemies and critics through all that as

well. she was obviously seen as a villain from the right, even among some democrats seen as too cautious, depending on one's view. i think there was also a sense that the daily times she was holding on to the gavel for too long or not making room for the new generation. >> let me jump in, because we only have about 30 seconds. i want to ask about that new generation. it's not just pelosi leaving, it's the number to three democrats in the house. to think the new party well and some benefit from this injection who blood or will, they suffer from all that experience it down? >> i think it's an advantage kim, especially when we're looking at 2024 match between biden and trump. we see a lot of the older generation in these possessions, it's really good to have what hakeem jeffries is a new leader, first black person to hold that role, as well as peter aguilar will, brings new spirit to the party in the chamber.

>> all right we shall see. we'll have to leave it there. julie norman in london, thanks so much for being with us. now, at the u.s.'s house is headed for republican control, president barack obama's deliver some of his most forceful comments on yet on the stakes facing the country. here's what he said thursday at a keynote speech on thursday. >> what's being challenged are the foundational principles of democracy itself. the notion that all citizens have a right to freely participate in selecting who governs them. the notion that votes will be counted and the party they gets more more votes count whence. that losers concede, that power is transferred peacefully, that the winners don't abuse the machinery of government to punish losers. we're gonna have to figure out how to live together, or we will destroy each other. >> in an interview with trevor

noah on the daily show, the former president talk about republication election denies, seeing them running the state and election races doing damage. powers across ukraine just as the harsh winter begins to set in. millions of ukrainians still have to get too cold weather after russia strikes on their infrastructure. that's ahead next. hundred homemetown charities.

ukraine is scrambling to fix the damage from the later strikes from russia and its envy structures. the missiles also hit ukrainian cities which was caught on video. a look here. that missile strike in the city of dnipro thursday morning wounding dozens of people. meanwhile the capital of kyiv is receiving all about half of its power supply after russia rained missiles on infrastructure across ukraine. temperatures are dropping below freezing across the country. the president says millions of ukrainians have to ride that out. he areas. >> the consequences of another missile attack against ukraine

continues all day. again, there have been emergency power outages since as well as plan was. now 10 million ukrainians are without electricity. >> meanwhile the investigation into a missile that flew from ukraine to poland should be done in a few days according to polish government spokesperson was interviewed by cnn. poland and nato said it was probably a stray ukrainian missile that hit a polish border village that killed two people. for more all of this, we're joined by uri sack, he's an adviser to ukraine's defense ministry. he joins us from kyiv. yuri thanks for being with us. i want to start with that missile. president first said it wasn't from ukraine, contradicting president biden who said that the evidence indicated otherwise. after that president zelenskyy said he wasn't 100 percent sure. are you learning any more about this? can you tell us anymore about the origin of that missile? >> hello and thank you for inviting me. well yes, we have said pretty

much immediately after this tragic incident happened, we have said that we welcomed the investigation of this incident and we were asking our polish partners to allow access to ukrainian experts to the side of this tragic incident. yesterday our experts have already arrived there and together with the polish experts in the u.s. exports they are now trying to establish what exactly happened. what we have to stress is something that already been said by most leaders of the civilized world that regardless of the outcome of this investigation and examination the ultimate responsibility for this incident is with russia. and one of the issues that was of concern to many of course was, was it a deliberate attack

by russia on poland or not? now we can certainly say that this tragic incident was a result of a deliberate missile attack of russia on ukraine, because on that day almost 100 missiles were fired at ukrainian cities. thankfully ukrainian air defense forces have been able to shoot down 73 of those. but of course we will have to wait until the final outcome of this investigation to draw definitive conclusions. >> can you tell me anymore about that? you're saying the ukrainian experts are actually on the ground right now? can you tell us how they will be conducting this and how long and i take? >> the latest we have heard, they are on site, and they are doing everything they have to from the point of view of the investigation. they will report as soon as the

investigation within the foreseeable future they will have the outcome you will have a consolidated opinion of the ukrainian experts, police and u.s. experts with regards to what happened. >> ultimately as you said ukraine and its allies agree that the blame for this lies with russia because of its ongoing missile attacks. many of those now are targeting infrastructure and energy infrastructure in particular. so many people in ukraine facing the cold without power. what more can ukraine do to protect its power grid? >> of course the priority number one for ukraine in this respect is improving our air defense capabilities. this is something that we rely on our international partners for. i would like to stress this. these missoula tax, of course they're horrible and they inflict a lot of damage on our energy infrastructure, but at the same time there will never

break our will. because if you listen for example to what the people in the liberated city of how some are saying, they are saying we don't have electricity, we don't have even drinking water but we don't have russians in our city. now for us, the worst blackout to weaken experience is when the russian war criminals, russian looters and russian rapists are on our land. this is the black at the we are fighting against and we are determined to continue our counteroffensives. we are determined regardless of the weather conditions and regardless of the attempts by the enemy to intimidate us with these missile attacks on our energy infrastructure, we will keep going and we are confident that our partners will stand with us. >> well on that, here in the u.s. some far-right republicans are promising to fight against ukrainian aid. there will be a few amid italy but they will have huge

leverage with their party because they have such a thin majority in the house of representatives coming up. how concerned are you that key support from the u.s. may be in danger here? >> we have said before that the bipartisan support from the united states to ukraine since the beginning of this large scale invasion has been phenomenal. and of course it has been instrumental in our efforts to defend our country and to expel the enemy. we are hopeful that this will continue. because you know this war is far from over. we need this support and you know, we are confident that the political elite in the united states are fully aware and understand that while this war is fought on ukraine territory, this war is not just about ukraine. everything that happens on our territory reverberates across the international community.

nuclear blackmail, food security crisis, energy blackmail on european countries. our partners first and foremost the u.s., of course understand that this is a war which has an impact on all of us, the whole of the international community. this is why we hoped the support will continue. >> we have seen that come into sharp relief this week. yuri issak thank you so much for. time >> thank you so much. >> you're watching cnn newsroom. just ahead, another provocative missile test from north korea. the timing is much more than a coincidence. please stay with us. but then i found clearchoice.
