hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. appreciate your company. coming up here on cnn newsroom, donald trump's legal troubles take a new turn as the u.s. attorney general taps a special counsel to oversee a series of criminal investigations into the former president. a dangerous snowstorm pummeling parts of new york dropping more than 5 feet of snow in some areas and more winter weather could be on the way. plus twitter in turmoil. new owner elon musk forging ahead with more changes even as the social media giant seems to be teetering on the edge. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with michael holmes. the u.s. justice department indicated weeks ago that it might turn to a special

prosecutor if donald trump got into the 2020 presidential race. and now trump has done that they've indeed appointed a special counsel, jack smith. he'll take over two of the most sensitive criminal probes involving trump, the mar-a-lago documents case and certain aspects of the january 6th insurrection. smith has a reputation as a hard-nosed prosecutor who stays above the political fray. and he has a long résumé of high-profile litigation including serving as chief prosecutor in a special court at the hague investigating kosovo war crimes. for more now on friday's announcement from the justice department is cnn's paula reave in washington. >> in certain extraordinary cases it is in the public interest to appoint a special prosecutor to independently manage an investigation and prosecution. >> reporter: attorney general merrick garland naming former justice department official jack smith to independently head up two major criminal investigations focused on former

president donald trump. the move coming just days after trump announced his third run for president. underscoring the legal jeopardy he faces as cnn learned he recently sent out a fresh round of subpoenas in both probes. >> based on recent developments including the former president's announcement he's a candidate for president in the next election and the sitting president's stated intention to be a candidate as well, i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel. >> reporter: jack smith has previously served in multiple roles at the justice department, and since 2018 he's been the chief prosecutor for the special court of the hague investigating war crimes in kosovo. he will now oversee the criminal investigation into whether trump mishandled documents including

some marked classified that were taken from the white house. >> they should give me immediately back everything they've taken from me because it's mine. >> reporter: the special counsel will oversee aspects of the investigation into the attack on the capitol on january 6, 2021, and what trump's role may have been leading up to that day. >> and we're going to the capitol. >> reporter: justice officials had hoped that appointing a special counsel would help to insulate the justice department from political criticism of his ongoing investigations. but it's not clear that anything could really achieve that goal. in fact, i spoke to the spokesman of the former president who's already described it as a political stunt. >> yet trump again playing the victim railed against friday's decision as the, quote, worst politicization of justice.

the white house firing right back. >> i will say this and i've said this many times before, we do not politicize the department of justice. that is something that the president said during the campaign. that is something that the president said in his early days of being in the white house, and that continues to be true. >> trump is giving every indication he intends to ignore the new special counsel calling him the quote, super radical left. the former president acted very surprised they're still active. here's what he told a crowd on friday night at his florida resort. >> this horrendous abuse of power is the latest in a long series of witch hunts. it started a long time ago. i thought the investigation with the document hoax was dying or dead or over and the investigation into january 6th and my very peaceful and

patriotic speech -- remember? peaceful and patriotically was dead especially after the record setting 40-point loss of liz cheney in the great state of wyoming. >> now some republicans are also calling on the justice department to appoint a special counsel in its investigation into the foreign business dealings of president biden's son, hunter biden. senator john cornyn says the doj should do so because there's an obvious conflict of interest in that probe. meanwhile senator ted cruz claiming the president is weaponizing the justice department to attack his political opponent. the white house denying that saying it wasn't even informed about doj's special counsel appointment in the trump case. all of this comes as results are still trickling in from last week's mid-term elections. republicans have clenched another victory after democrat a

adam frisch conceded the race. now so far republicans have won 219 seats in the lower chamber, and now they must decide who the next speaker will be. cnn's manu raju reports. >> reporter: now, kevin mccarthy wants to be the next speaker of the house, but he still does not have the votes to get there. he did get the support from the house republican conference earlier in the week when 188 of his members voted to nominate him to be the speaker. but that doesn't make you the speaker. in order to get the gavel, you need to be elected by a majority of the full house. that means 218 votes you'll need in january to get there. right now he's working behind the scenes to lock down the votes, but he had a problem, a math problem he's trying to resolve because there are some members of the hard right faction known as the freedom caucus that are withholding the support. in fact there are two members

considered hard-nosed right now. matt gaetz of florida, andy biggs of arizona say they both cannot support the speaker. matt rosen dale of montana supporting the speakership, and also bob good, a virginia republican telling me that mccarthy does not have the votes to get there. but they have not completely shut the door to ultimately supporting him. the reason this is an issue for mccarthy is he's expected to have a narrow majority. don't know the final numbers yet but could be in the 220, 222 range which means he can only lose a handful of votes to become the speaker. that is what's happening on the republican side. on the democratic side things are bit smoother in the aftermath of nancy pelosi's decision to step aside after 20 years of dominating and running her caucus now there's a leadership transition under way. hakim jeffreys, new york

democrat, is poised to become the first black leader of any support in congress. now his party is getting behind him for the top job as the democratic leader in the minority in the new congress, and we expected number 2 to be catherine clark from massachusetts and number three to be pete aguilar, all members of a different generation than the current trio, pelosi, steny hoyer of maryland, and jim clyburn of south carolina. clyburn himself wants to be the number four leader in the new congress. those issues will play out november 30th when the democrats elect their new leadership team. after internal feuding led to mitch mcconnell ultimately once again being re-elected as republican leader after their disappointing performance and democrats retaining control of the u.s. senate. all this playing out in the final days here of this congress before the new congress comes in january. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >> and with us now from los

angeles, cnn's senior political analyst ron brownstein who's also a senior editor at the atlantic. so i guess news of the special counsel not unexpected, but how do you think it's going to play out politically? how do you see the impact of the announcement in a political sense? >> well, it's not surprising as you say, and it is certainly a defensible decision to turn over these investigations to the special counsel. the timing of it leaves my scratching my head a little because obviously they've known for a very long time that former president trump was highly likely to run for president again, and president biden was certain to run if trump does, and if the goal was to make this, insulate the investigation of politics by establishing a special counsel, if there's a risk doing so delays the decision whether to indict and moves it further back into the election season, it could be

counter productive in the sense of increasing the political charged nature of this choice. if it's not decided until the campaign is well under way. so we'll have to see how it actually plays out, but i guess it's not surprising merrick garland being such an institutionalist ended up in this place. >> yeah, and already republicans talking about a special counsel on hunter biden, which raises the point that, you know, a dop led house is going to embark on what article i read called benghazi times infinity when it comes to politically motivated investigations. how do you see that playing out? >> i think it's going to be complicated because, first of all, the trump era showed that white house and that vgz really resisted the congressional power to investigate, and stymied and frustrated some of those investigations by their refusal to cooperate, so we'll see to what extent this white house,

you know, follows in their footsteps. once these norms get broken, michael, they tend not to get reassembled so quickly. on the one hand i think they obviously have an opportunity to raise some uncomfortable revelations about the administration particularly when they're dealing in areas of public policy like the border and how they've handled the border. on the other hand, a lot of what they want to do -- i meep they've already talked about investigate how january 6th rioters are being treated and investigating the raid on mar-a-lago, so a lot of what they do risks further branding them as the party of trump after an election in which blue and swing states very clearly showed there was a penalty for that association. they're going to engrave the tattoo even deeper in all likelihood. >> that's a really good point. i wanted to ask you, too, we heard manu's speech, too, about democrats and their

post-election regrouping. a pivot to younger leaders in the house. what are democrats trying to do in terms of perception and strategy, do you think? >> this is long overdue. look, they're trying to align their leership more with their constituency. i mean you saw again in this election democrats did much better among voters of lower -- basically 45 and younger. the youngest millennials hard to imagine are basically now 41. millennials and generation z are the core of the democratic constituency at this point and they had a leadership in the house, the senate and the white house entirely in their 70s and even pushing into the 80s. i think this is a reflection of the coalition. it's obviously a diverse slate where they're going to have potentially a black minority leader, you know, a white woman as the kind of the whip and a latino leader from california, so they are kind of bringing

this more into line with who they are, and, you know, given where they lost the house, the fact it was lost in so many districts that biden actually won, whether in new york or california and elsewhere, i think the odds are pretty high whichever side wins the white house is likely to win the house, so this team could be in charge sooner than they think. >> ron, always a pleasure to speak with you my friend. thanks so much. >> thank you. all right, heavy snow blanketing parts of the great lakes region in the u.s. when we come back we'll have a live report on this potentially historic storm and what residents could expect in the hours ahead. also more of ukraine's power grid coming back online following recent russian attacks, but the power system under new pressure from cocold weather. but thanks to the right plplan promise from unitedhealthcare she got a medicare plan expert to help guide herr to the right plan

i see an amazing place. feels like a dream. a place of many wonders -

and full of life. i open my eyes: earth is our pandora. a potentially historic winter storm pounding western new york state and parts of the great lakes region. officials say more than 5 1/2 feet of snow, that's sneerly 1.7 meters have fallen near buffalo. two people in erie county died

after suffering cardiac events related to clearing snow. the storm has canceled flights, halted traffic on major roadways and knocked out power as temperatures plunge. and the region is bracing for more. officials warn the storm could be life threatening and have calls on residents to be prepared. derek van dam joins me now with more on this. some of the images coming out of buffalo, for example, just incredible. >> and those snowfall totals mind-boggling almost. i don't know how else to describe that. 5 1/2 feet of snow. we are approaching record territory, all-time record snow snowfalls we're approaching it. not quite there. the national weather service has to analyze the data but bottom line is this is a heck of a lot of snow. this is downtown buffalo new york, right off lake erie. look at that wall of snow moving

into the city. it is a narrow band of extremely heavy snow rates. we're talking 4, maybe 5 inches an hour, and it quickly reduces visibility. so here are the highest snowfall totals we could find. so far we have seen in offered park south just of buffalo 66 inches of snowfall. that is just incredible. now it's time to put on your thinking caps and we need to do a bit of math because this is real serious problem especially for homes and businesses as they start to pileup a tremendous amount of snow. the weight will really take its toll on the structures here. let's just for instance give the average square footage of a house, 2,000 square feet, depth of snow right now 4 feet in many locations and the density of the water and ratio of snowfall about 1 to 10. that equates to nearly 50,000 pounds of weight on top of an average sized house. that's about ten suvs piled up

on top of your home, so potential for collapsing building is certainly in the cards. we go back to 2014, that's exactly what happened in a very similar lake effect snow band setup impacting the buffalo region. here's the latest radar. you can see how that snow band has shifted right into the downtown area, so they're getting pummelled as we speak. they're going to pick up another 18 inches today and on saturday. i described if yesterday but i think this is great way to say it. it's more like a fire hose of snow. you can see how it undulates, almost oscillates across this area. so far it has been just south of the downtown region of buffalo. even though they're getting the snow now, it's really to the south. water town in western new york has been hit hard. how much additional snow 18 inches for buffalo, another 2

feet plus and just north of syracuse this is a narrow band of heavy snowfall, but those areas get hard and they feel it. and virtually impassable at the moment. 8, 12 inches across michigan so they're not out of the woods yet either. we'll have a lull in the snowfall activity saturday and picks up saturday into sunday once again for our final round of snowfall. we'll call the curtain raiser and just tremendous, tremendous past 48 hours across the great lakes. michael? >> absolutely incredible. thanks for checking in derek van dam at the cnn weather center. appreciate it. there is no letup in russian efforts to gain ground in eastern ukraine. kyiv says that russian troops lau launched new attacks across the front lines. ukraine repelled more than 100 russian attacks the day before according to president

zelenskyy. britain's defense ministry says the russian offensive is unlikely to stop partly because some russian troops recently pulled out of southern ukraine and are now being redeployed to the east. meanwhile the lights slowly coming back on across ukraine after a barrage of russian strikes on its electrical system. the attacks knocked out almost half of the nation's energy system earlier this week leaving 10 million people in the dark. now officials say the power supply is improving but temperatures have dropped below freezing in some areas, which is putting extra strain on the fragile power grid. meanwhile ukraine says this is a sign of ordinary life coming back in newly liberated city of kherson. what you're seeing there is the first train bound for that city leaving for the capital kyiv on friday just a week after russians pulled out from kherson. president zelenskyy says other things the city needs now are

also on their way. >> translator: today in kherson two special help points were opened. while electricity is being restored in the city, people can charge phones, get warm, have some tea. communications are available there, star link or similar. we know it is very difficult for people as the occupiers have destroyed everything before fleeing. we will reconnect everything, restore everything. >> all right, let's talk more with cnn's scott mcclain joining me now from london. good to see you, scott, so power restored in many places, but the weather is turning, and there's going to be rolling blackouts. they're going to severely impact life in ukraine. you and i were there in february and march of this year, and the cold is brutal. >> the cold is brutal without, you know, these rolling power cuts that you described. and so this is something that ukrainians have not been through before despite the fact that

obviously the war started in the winter earlier this year. so right now the temperature in kyiv, michael, is zero though it feels like minus 5. tomorrow that temperature minus 6 and it'll feel like minus 8. kyiv also had its first snowfall of the year and the snowier it gets and more strain there's going to be on the system. my colleague in ukraine has been talking to people in kyiv about the impact these power cuts are having, and not surprisingly he found it was pretty universally miserable. he found an elderly couple who moved to kyiv from kharkiv because their windows in kyiv had been damaged from shelling, so in absence of any way to repair them they opted to just move since there was no way they could have possibly survived the winter in an apartment that couldn't adequately hold in any kind of heat.

he also found people that were finding it difficult to even get inside their apartment. most people in cities lived in apartment blocks, and so if you're 7, 8, 9 stories up, hoofing it up all those stairs is not only a huge inconvenience, it's a lot more than that especially if you're elderly or if you're less able to get up stair. and they're also finding -- my colleague also found parents even finding it difficult to get their kids online for school. of course a lot of schools in ukraine still operating remotely, online lessons. and with internet that's spotty or nonexistent at all this is becoming more and more of a challenge. clearly the russians have a strategy here in targeting the energy grid, and this is how the ukraine prime minister described that strategy yesterday. listen. >> unfortunately, russia continues to launch missile strikes on ukraine's civilian critical infrastructure, waging war against the civilian population and depriving them of

light, water, heat and communications during the winter. >> so he went onto call for europe to ply more help to ukraine not only in supplying parts to replace things that are being destroyed, parts of the energy infrastructure grid being being destroyed in russian air strikes and also called for europe to help supply more gas in the first place. this is not only a test of ukrainian resolve, ukrainian will but also a test of ukraine's allies to provide even more. of course they're already supplying billions and billions dollars worth of weapons. now they're being asked to provide help with the energy infrastructure as well, michael. >> all right, appreciate the update. scott mcclain in london, thanks so much. well, just days before the world cup set to begin in qatar, the government making a u-turn on beer sales inside the venue. more on that when we come back. .

north korea claims its latest missile launch on friday featured a new type of icbm. state media said it flew for almost 1,000 kilometers before landing in the sea. japan warning it could also have enough range to reach the continental u.s. now this is the latest icbm launch north korea has carried out this year and the 34th day the country has fired at least one type of missile. according to state media north korean leader kim jong-un oversaw friday's launch with his daughter, marking the first time she has ever appeared in public.

we get more details now from cnn's paula hancocks in seoul. >> reporter: kim jong-un introduces his daughter to the world, holding her hand as he guides the launch of the country's most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile. north korea claims it tested a new type of icbm on friday. his wife and child at his side kim is quoted as saying he'll react to nukes with nuclear weapons and total confrontation with all out confrontation pointing firmly at the united states and, quote, other hosttle forces. japan's defense minister said this icbm could theoretically travel at 9,300 miles if fired at a regular angle meaning it could hit mainland united states. >> i don't think this represents a game changer. we know north korea has the ability to range the continental united states for more than five years now. so the basic picture between the united states and north korea

remains the same. >> reporter: forces at the air base in japan were ordered to shelter in place shortly after the launch. >> this most recently is a brazen violation of multiple u.n. security resolutions. it destabilizes security in the region and unnecessarily raises tensions. >> reporter: vice president harris met with allied leaders on the side lines of the asian pacific economic cooperation summit in thailand, all condemned the launch and vowed to workicosely together. physical responses were swift. japan dispatched their craft filming this, what they believe is be the contrails or vapor trails of the ballistic missile. the u.s. and south korea forces simulated strikes. the launch follows strong words from north carolina's minister who warned u.s. of a fiercer military counter action and condemned president biden's discussions about kim jong-un's

missile program at the g20 summit earlier this week. >> i'm confident china's not looking for north korea to engage in further escalatory means. >> reporter: north korea continues to break its own record for firing missiles with 34 days of launches this year. paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. the u.s. vice president kamala harris met briefly with the chinese leader xi jinping while attending the asia pacific economic cooperation conference in bangkok thailand saturday. the vice president tweeted during the meeting he note adkey message president biden had emphasized during his meeting with xi this week. that both the u.s. and china must maintain open lines of communication to responsibly manage the competition between the two counstries. for his part the chinese leader told harris he hopes they can bring the country back to a

healthy and stable track. now, the 2022 world cup is just a day away from kicking off literally in qatar, and it's set to be a historic one. the 22nd edition of the tournament is the first ever to be held in the arab world. this is the first time it'll be held outside the months of may, june, or july, and qatar is making its debut on a world cup pitch, competing in the tournament for the first time. however, the nation has come under international scrutiny, of course, mainly for abuses committed against migrant workers who built the infrastructure for this event and discrimination against the lgbtq plus community and women. the u.s. has been discussing human rights issues with qatar ahead of the tournament. top u.s. kip diplomat antony blinken is set to visit in the

coming days and attend a world cup match while in doha. the world cup matches are going to be dry events, sobering even. the host nation says no beer containing alcohol will be allowed at the stadium. that is a u-turn for qatar previously agreed for sales of the beer during the matches. cnn's amanda davis is here to explain. >> another day, another headline. and one that won't win qatar any new fans you suspect in certain parts of the world a new huge call with just 48 hours to go until the start of the world cup, a real embarrassment for world cup's governing body fifa and one of their biggest sponsors, budweiser. alcohol will not be sold to fans at stadiums. it will be served in hospitality areas and still at the fan fest, but inside the grounds it will be bud zero.

this is a tournament that from the word go has challenged the norms, a world cup awarded in the midst of a corruption scandal, a first ever winter world cup to be held in the middle east in a muslim country. it is a very different story, the controversies, the concerns we've been talking about in the area of human rights, the treatments of migrant workers and members of the lgbtq plus community. but what it does is cast doubt on what people should expect over the next five weeks. the guarantees that have been given over the course of this tournament and beyond. amanda davis, doha, qatar. more upheaval at twitter as the company's new ceo, elon musk, summons software engineers for an urgent meeting. we'll have details on the latest development after the break. he .

more turmoil at twitter on friday. new boss elon musk sending an e-mail calling on twitter's software engineers to report to san francisco headquarters for an urgent meeting. this coming one day after employees left the company en masse rejecting an ultimatum from musk to work, quote, extremely hard core or get out. it's unclear how many engineers showed up for that meeting. the white house monitoring the situation, calling on the company to explain how it's protecting user information. it's been a turbulent three weeks for twitter. since elon musk took over the company has been mass layoffs, advertisers calling out and the blue check mark implemented and

then dumped. as twitter is dealt blow after blow there's growing concern whether it can carry on long-term. and musk with a poll asking users to weigh in whether or not donald trump's twitter account should be reactivated, yes a poll. several other controversial accounts that had been banned were restored on friday. nicholas thompson is the ceo of the atlantic. he was formerly the editor-in-chief of wired. now, good to see you. our own media reporter, i was listening to him on cnn. he described twitter as being in an ever quickening death spiral. would you agree with that? how bad are things? >> i think it's an ever k quickening spiral. death spiral suggests inevitable. i think there's plenty of opportunity for twitter to pull through this. yes, the situation is getting weirder and darker by the minute.

>> big picture, just how badly elon musk managed this whole thing, this take over? >> he's driven away a number of advertisers. i think he's managed it quite badly in terms of culture and employees, the number of extremely good employees have left. and i think he's led to the departure of entire teams at twitter. on the other hand, this is part of his plan. he wanted a dramatic reduction in the size of twitter, a dramatic overhaul in the work force, so he's doing what he setout to do. >> but what if -- you know, it's the tipping point aspect, isn't it? when is too far and it all collapses? >> well, we'll know that in the next couple of weeks, so it's extremely unlikely that twitter would go bankrupt. some people are saying that's likely to happen and that is not likely to happen. what could happen is because so many of the engineers have left and so many of the critical infrastructure? gen ears have left, it is possible something will break in the surface, the service will go

down and no one will know how to fix it. and that happens and users will lose faith in the platform. another possible bad scenario would be if somebody hacks twitter or something terrible happens with user data. on the other hand, twitter is still working just fine right now. if it continues to work just fine, if he is able to duct tape and glue it together and then finally bring some semblance of calm and bring in the new ceo he'll have gotten through the storm. >> twitter, it's become an important communications platform, hasn't it? the president is on it and other heads of state, celebrities, journalists all use it. as you point out no sign of it happening yet, but what would be the impact theoretically of twitter's demise? >> there would be a lot of harm. there would be situations where twitter can do a lot of good, where it helps people with

emergency response and in times of crisis. on the other hand, if twitter went away it also causes a lot of harm to society. it causes harm to individuals, causes harms to democracy. i don't know whether all in all twitter is net plus or net negative, but if twitter went away in some ways democracy would get stronger. >> we might have quiter lives that's for sure. even if the company does survive, can you see an exodus of not just staff but users? and where would users head? are there viable alternative platforms for people which could be that digital death town square? >> yeah, there's town of alternative platforms out there. and this is the real risk, right? the real risk is companies like twitter get built on network effects. it becomes valuable for the next

user because the user is already there. network effects work on the way up, right? that's how silicon valley was made. but network effect also works on the way down. each user who leaves makes twitter less viable to the next person. if twitter gets in a spiral of losing those most important users it's a big problem. people might just spend more time on facebook, they might spend more time on snap chat, they might, i don't know read books and spend more time with their kids. so there are a lot of ways people can spend their time. and if folks who spend an hour or two a day on twitter lose that hour or two, i'm sure they'll be able to take a lute of that time and do news consumption, cultural consumption and find them in different places, maybe not exactly nothing like what's on twitter now. >> exactly.

i'm with you on the last option. let's all just chill and sit on the sofa and read a book. and one hour a day, are you kidding me, more like five. it's crazy times. nicholas, got to leave it there, unfortunately. great to speak with you. appreciate the analysis. >> a real pleasure. thank you so much for having me on. the annual united nations climate summit in egypt now in overtime as delegates wrangle over ways to limit and pay for global warming. we'll have that story and more when we come back.

now, the cop27 climate conference which was supposed to

end friday has gone into overtime as negotiators seek a breakthrough on outstanding issues. delegates have been discussing ways to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius above preindustrial levels along with loss and damage, the idea of compensating poor nations which often bear the brunt of said changing climate. cnn's international correspondent david mackenzie has more. >> reporter: well, the climate meetings in egypt are coming to the business end of the zgds. the talks have been extended after the official closing time as countries try to hammer out some actual progress in fighting the climate catastrophe. here are three things we are really looking at, whether there can be a reaffirmation of 1.5 degrees only. right now with current pledges we're going to blow away past
