hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm laila harrak. coming up on "cnn newsroom,"

we're just hours away from the kickoff of the 2022 world cup in qatar. we're live in doha where fans aren't letting the latest controversy overshadow the tournament. and a snowstorm wreaking havoc on millions of americans across the northeast. we're live at the cnn weather center with details. plus -- >> our planet is still in the emergency room. we need to drastically reduce emissions now and this is an issue this cop did not address. >> an appeal for more to be done on climate change as delegates to cop27 close on a draft agreement. we're live in johannesburg with details. ♪ it is 5:00 a.m. here in atlanta and 1:00 p.m. in qatar where the 2022 world cup is just

six hours away. it's set to be a historic tournament full of many firsts. this will be the first time a middle eastern country has hosted it. the first time it will be played outside the months of may, june or july and the first time qatar is competing in it. the host country will make its debut against ecuador during the tournament's opening match but as it prepares for competition it continues to face heavy criticism over its human rights record. cnn's amanda davies joins us now live from doha. amanda, we're just hours away from the first match between qatar and ecuador. what's the mood in doha right now? >> yeah, after the longest buildup to any fifa world cup in history you might remember qatar awarded this tournament 12 years ago. we are now edging ever closer to that big kickoff when you suspect there will be a fair few people in the organizing

committee and the world football's governing body who will produce a very long, large exhale of breath that this tournament is finally getting under way. as you can probably see behind me here, about 50 kilometers an hour away from where that opening match will be taking place, still relatively quiet but very much the reheat of the day and i'm pretty much nocturnal in these parts, people get up much later and later in the day. the fans have been congregating here. we hear that 37% of the tickets that have been sold so far have been bought by qataris and there's been a real sense that they are really excited about this tournament being held here on their home soil. the argentinian shirts of messi seems to be the most popular. just the fact that they think he

is a good bet for success at this tournament. you might remember this actually was meant to kick off tomorrow so still a lot of fans arriving into doha. there's been some brilliant scenes from the airport earlier. but over the last few days i have had some great conversations a couple of moroccans who purposefully got jobs here for three months just so they can be part of this tournament. a large japanese contingent has just arrived. i have to say the loudest most vocal fans so far the prize goes to tunisia. >> this is a huge moment for qatar's football team and their fans. what do we expect from them in their first ever match? >> reporter: yeah, an extraordinary day like no other is how their spanish coach felix sanchez put it at his prematch news conference yesterday. this has been a long time coming for qatar, they are never before

qualified or made it to a world cup finals and it really has been project qatar for them since they were awarded this tournament. they are up against an ecuador side who ranked six places above them in the world. they're back at the world cup having missed out in 2018 in russia. but in terms of qatar, a lot of people in international football they're very much an unknown quantity. yes, they won the age yan cup in 2019 but haven't been playing competitive matches as is the way for the host country in the cup. they have been hold up in training camps in spain and austria. played an incredible 28 inches since this time last year, 21 since january, six matches unbeaten. it would be pretty unlikely that they were to win this tournament but as their boss said

impossible is nothing. he's daring to dream. they're hoping to channel a bit of south korea from 2002 and perhaps make a surprise run to the semi-finals. >> reach for the stars, that's what they say, amanda davies, in doha, qatar, thank you so much. residents in parts of new york state could wake up to more snow after historic storm hit on saturday. the national weather service is warning that some western areas of the state could see extremely heavy snow overnight. erie county in the buffalo area received its largest amount of snowfall in the past 24 hours. officials say two people died from cardiac complications due to shoveling. cnn meteorologist derek van dam is tracking it all for you. more snowshowers on the way, derek? >> depending on where you're located. remember that lake-effect snow band is only about 10 miles wide, but that area that it happens to be impacting is certainly getting that 2, 3, 4

inch per hour rates as we speak. talked about the cardiac arrests that were associated with shoveling snow. well, a lot of this snow has a high moisture content to it, so heavy wet snow depending on where you're located and of course just the pure quantity of the snow very heavy and, do you know what, that poses structural threats as well because it weighs up on your home or business. we talked about that yesterday. some of the official totals are starting to slowly roll in this morning. the three-day storm total for buffalo, new york, that's over 3 feet. pretty impressive, right. this he did break their daily record saturday -- on saturday of 21.5 inches. now, that pales in comparison to what we saw just to the south. i talked about just a moment ago how this was a 5 to 10 mile wide band of heavy snowfall. where it set up is where it got hit the hardest and it was just south of downtown buffalo metro. look at orchard park that's

nearly 6 1/2 feet, people, just stupendous, incredible numbers coming out of this area. words can't do it justice. we have snowshowers across the great lakes, downwind from lake michigan with you i want to focus in on what's happening downwind from lake erie and lake ontario. erie county where buffalo is located out of the lake-effect snow warning but you're upgraded to what is a winter weather advisory because of blowing snow. we had a west to south-westerly wind on saturday and that pushed that snow into eastern sections of ontario into canada and then the wind started to change direction toss more of a westerly wind and that brought that snow band south through buffalo, while it did so it brought 5 inches of fresh additional snow on top of what already fell there. watertown just downwind of lake ontario also that's an area where they were in the crosshairs for some of the heaviest rainfall -- snowfall i should say and some of the snowfall totals there just

equally as impressive. it's all about the wind direction going forward. it will be more westerly today, that means that will take the bulk of the heaviest snowfall away from the buffalo metro region, but nonetheless there are still some impressive totals locally and regionally across the great lakes as this snow system slowly starts to wind down. can you imagine, 6 1/2 feet of snow, laila? >> i can't imagine. too much of a good thing. derek van dam, thank you so much. millions of followers of donald trump are waiting right now to see if the former president is returning to twitter. they rushed to sign on to his account after the platform's new owner elon musk restored his access a few hours ago. it was suspended after the january 6th, 2021, attack on the u.s. capitol. according to twitter because of the risk of further incitement of violence. but on saturday mr. musk wrote the people have spoken, trump

will be reinstated. this comes after a poll musk posted late friday showed nearly 52% of 15 million votes favored reinstatement. mr. trump says he doesn't plan to return to twitter but will continue to use his truth social platform. on saturday mr. trump made his first major appearance before republicans since announcing his third presidential candidacy. appears virtually before the republican jewish coalition in las vegas the former president received a standing ovation. mr. trump's quest for the nomination faces serious headwinds not least of which is the special counsel who has taken over two key investigations. the u.s. attorney general explained why he felt this move was necessary. >> based on recent developments, including the former president's announcement that he is 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. such an appointment underscores the department's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters. >> the new special counsel has been tasked with two specific probes. mr. trump's handling of classified materials at his florida residence and any efforts mr. trump or others may have taken to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after his election loss. at an event on friday night mr. trump, again, claimed he was the victim of unending persecution by his political enemies. >> this horrendous abuse of power is the latest in a long series of witch hunts. they want to do bad things to the greatest movement in the history of our country but in

particular bad things to me. >> while some trump allies in congress are demanding that the attorney general appoint a special counsel to investigate the president's son, hunter biden. they've made clear they intend to make that a top priority when they retake control of the u.s. house in january. but then there are mainstream republicans who want the party to move past trump. they say results from the midterm elections show the former one-term president is pulling their party down. take a listen. >> we keep losing and losing and losing, and the fact of the matter is the reason we're losing is because donald trump has put himself before everybody else. >> i've got a great policy for the republican party let's stop supporting crazy unelectable candidates in our primaries and start getting behind winners that can close the deal in

november. >> mr. trump could face serious challenges for the 2024 republican nomination with florida governor ron desantis and former vice president mike pence among those considered likely to run. last hour i spoke with a professor at the university of he is ex in england and i asked her how she sees the next two years unfolding now that mr. biden will face a narrowly divided congress. >> you will have the republicans in the house trying to set up some investigations, but because the democrats control the senate that's not going to really go anywhere, so joe biden is actually insulated by the senate from any kind of house investigations whether it be into biden himself or hunter biden his son or the origins of covid. they've made clear that they have a huge agenda ahead of them going after biden and what seems to be more based on revenge than actually benefitting the american public, but i think in the end as i mentioned not much

is going to happen and i think it's just going to be a blame game as they're running up into 2024 elections. >> now, former president trump faces a doj special prosecutor shortly after announcing that he's running for president again. what will this mean for the gop? will conservatives rally behind him? >> they seem to already be rallying behind him in spite of the fact that right after the midterms all kinds of republican political pundits were on the airwaves really criticizing, eviscerating trump saying he was a huge liability to the republican party and it's the reason why they lost and didn't do well and that it was over for trump and they were heralding ron desantis as the next star. so the republicans should be happy that this is going ahead because this is a way to eliminate probably the biggest cancer to the republican party but instead you already have acolytes of trump saying on

twitter or stating publicly that this is terrible. you have trump himself trying to rally support saying that this is rigged, that this is completely unfair, that they should be prosecuting people like obama and clinton, and we've seen that trump has been effective in the past in getting and ratcheting up support against the special counsel. if we look at what happened to robert mueller who was investigating him before, robert mueller's approval rating was 68% but by february 2019 at the very end his approval rating had dropped 17 points. so we see the effectiveness of trump in picking apart anyone that goes against him and that's why you might see other republicans coming to his support now. >> cnn will have much more on this important story in the coming hour. now some good news for some americans the biden administration has notified them that their student loan debt relief has been approved, but

the bad news is that officials cannot start wiping those debts clean just yet. a legal battle has put the program on hold for now. education secretary miguel cardona sent out emails to explain the delay, saying a number of lawsuits have been filed challenging the program which have blocked our ability to discharge your debt. we believe strongly that the lawsuits are meritless and the department of justice has appealed on our behalf. in idaho a week after the fatal stabbing of four students police are still searching for a suspect. ahead, the latest on their growing investigation. plus, sorrow at the university of virginia. a community comes together to remember three young football players killed in a tragic shooting. rine. the face of millions of germs zapped in seconds. the face of clean. the face of whoa. some are of intensity, others, joy.y. all are of - ahhhh.

people may have been involved and how an attacker could have entered in the first place. cnn's camila bernal has more from idaho. >> reporter: we have seen a lot of activity here at the crime scene. local authorities going inside of the house and police officers outside of the house even looking and measuring at some tire marks near the driveway of the house. we know that in addition to the work that's being done here they've already interviewed at least 38 people. they're going through hundreds and hundreds of tips that are coming in, but there is still a lot of fear in this community and frankly confusion, because initially police officers had said there was no threat to the community and then they changed everything and said, look, you have to be vigilant because there has not been an arrest in this case. the one thing, though, that they continue to say is that they believe this was a targeted attack, although they have not given a reason as to why they believe this was a targeted attack. according to the latest

information that we have, we know that all four of them were believed to be sleeping at the time of the attack. they were stabbed multiple times and we know that at least some of them had defensive wounds. so they might have been able to fight back. the father of one of the victims, the father of xana kernodle saying that he believes his daughter fought back. here he is. >> i heard from him before we went out. midnight was the last time and she was fine. they were just hanging out at home. >> reporter: we also know they went through different dumpsters in this area trying to look for evidence and then they released a timeline hoping to get more information, more tips based on where these students were last saturday night. we know two of these students they were at a fraternity party between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. the other two they were at a local sports bar between 10:00 and 1:30 in the morning and then they went to a food truck. that was around 1:40 in the

morning. but authorities say they believe all four of them were back here at the house at around 2:00 in the morning. they say the attack likely happened in the early morning hours but that 911 call did not come in until about noon on sunday. now, we also know that the two other roommates that were also here on the night of the attack authorities say they don't believe they are suspects in this case, but clearly still a lot of work to be done by investigators and a lot of questions to be answered as the friends and families mourn the loss of these four students. camila bernal, moscow, idaho. thousands of people attended an emotional memorial honoring three football players killed in a shooting at the university of virginia. devin chandler, lavel davis jr. and d'sean perry were killed last week when a student opened fire on a bus returning from a field trip to washington, d.c.

eternally grateful for you. thank you for being the light to the world. you all will continue to shine your lights bright before us in the days ahead. >> everyone here loved every single one of those boys, lavel, d'sean and devin. love is an intense feeling of deep affection and i definitely had an intense feeling of deep affection towards every single one of them. >> reporter: the suspect in the case 23-year-old chris jones is locked up in the county jail. he faces multiple charges including three counts of second-degree murder. joe johns, cnn, charlottesville, virginia. police have arrested two suspects in connection to online threats against a synagogue in new york city. this is one of the two men who were detained at the city's penn station on saturday. police say the suspects had an illegal semi-automatic gun along

with a large knife and a nazi arm band. they are now facing charges related to making terrorist threats and illegal weapon possession. sources say the threats started appearing on twitter earlier this month suggesting an attack on one of the synagogues in the city. law enforcement sources say the posts were later traced to a work computer used by one of the suspects. some breaking news just coming into cnn. police say five people were killed saturday night at a gay nightclub in colorado springs, colorado. another 18 people were injured at club q. they add that a suspect is in custody. police declined to speak about a possible motive. we will have details on this as soon as they become available. a ukrainian city near a nuclear plant comes under more artillery fire. we will show you the damage and have the latest on the aftermath. plus, kyiv and moscow with

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world, i'm laila harrak and you're watching "cnn newsroom." more russian artillery strikes have been reported around a southern ukrainian city near the occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. ukrainian officials say at least 40 shells hit areas overnight

causing damage to buildings as well as gas and power lines. at least one person has been reported injured. this as ukraine says its begun voluntary evacuations from parts of its newly liberated areas in the south. officials say water, heat and electricity are in such short supply that residents will have a hard time to survive the winter. it's hoping to give them temporary shelter elsewhere in the country. the whole nation is struggling with power shortages after russian strikes left millions of people in the dark, but ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says officials are working to bring the power back. >> translator: as always, today i received reports on the repair work in the energy sector. we are working throughout the country to stabilize the situation, kyiv and its region, odesa and its region, kharkiv and its region have the most problems with electricity.

>> meanwhile, across the atlantic a u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin said autocrats could learn all the wrong lessons from russian president vladimir putin, speaking in canada mr. austin said if they conclude nuclear weapons can buy them impunity that could lead to nuclear proliferation. the pentagon chief didn't mince words about russian attacks on ukraine's infrastructure. take a listen. >> russia isn't just waging a war of aggression, it's also deliberately attacking civilian targets and civilian infrastructure with no military purpose whatsoever. now, these aren't just lapses, these aren't exceptions to the rules, these are atrocities. the uk is vowing to help boost ukraine's air defenses, london is promising $60 million in new air defense weapons and

technologies. while the move was announced during saturday's surprise visit to kyiv by prime minister rishi sunak. during his visit mr. sunak joined president zelenskyy in a flower laying ceremony honoring victims of war. for more let's head now to scott mclean, he joins us from london. scott, what more have you learned about the strikes around a city near zaporizhzhia? >> reporter: yeah, so this is the district nick owe pole it's called and according to the local governor there it was targeted overnight some 40 shells hit residential areas, an area that has been frequently targeted over the last few weeks by russian strikes and it's significant because it is, as you said, right across the river from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. perhaps, though, this is not all that surprising because it was less than a month ago that a russian-backed official in that region said that the ukrainians

had really amassed a significant amount of military hardware on the other side of the river and his expectation is that they would start using that hardware to start striking places like ener goe car and make that part of the occupied part of zaporizhzhia their primary focus along the front lines. maybe this is the russians trying to preeminently strike some military hardware to degrade ukraine's ability to cross the river and take back more of their territory. >> uk prime minister rishi sunak on a surprise visit to kyiv. did he manage to reassure zelenskyy of the uk's support? >> reporter: yeah, surely officials in kyiv were concerned given the political turmoil in this country, the fact nthat th uk has had three prime ministers in two months with boris johnson, liz truss and now rishi sunak. boris johnson was one of the biggest backers of ukraine, in fact, the uk provides the second

most military assistance, financial assistance to the country, second only to the united states. so boris johnson was extremely popular in kyiv. clearly, rishi sunak's visit was an attempt to try to allay some of the fears and make sure that zelenskyy knows that sunak is planning to continue what the uk has already started. it pledged $2.7 billion this year alone, it's pledging to spend at least the same next year assuming that the war actually continues. air defense is something in particular that the ukrainians have been asking for. so $60 million in air defense spending is what rishi sunak came pledging, that includes 125 anti-aircraft guns, radars and other technologies to help the ukrainians try to locate and also shoot down incoming russian missiles given -- it's especially important given the fact that so many of those missiles have managed to strike key infrastructure and now rolling blackouts are just a regular part of life.

one other quick thing to mention, laila, that is that while of course the ukrainians are grateful for the international assistance they have gotten they would like to make it more formal. at that challah fax security council in canada one of zele zelenskyy's top aides said he would like to have not only assurances of assistance from allied countries but legally binding guarantees of ukraine's security and a big chunk would be assuring that it has the air defense systems that it needs. >> scott mclean, thank you your continued coverage. the top u.s. general recently suggested this could be a good time for ukraine to try to go to the negotiating table. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general mark milley said kyiv can now negotiate from the position of strength. earlier i asked cnn's political and national security analyst david sanger if diplomacy would have any chance right now. >> general milley's comments

reflect the fact that all wars have to end sometime and they almost always end with a negotiated settlement, sometimes after there's been a significant victory or an imminent victory. in the case of ukraine, though, both sides still seem to think that they're winning. the ukrainians obviously are gaining ground, the russians are not conceding the degree to which they have lost territory other than places like kherson, but more importantly, vladimir putin sees winter coming and believes that winter plays to his advantage. that the ukrainians will freeze given the amount of infrastructure that russia has destroyed, particularly in recent weeks. that the nato nations will begin to crack and divide as the cost of heating oil and gas rise.

now, he may be getting this wrong and he may decide at some point to negotiate, but right now we've really seen no indication that the russians are prepared for a serious negotiation and the position that we've heard from the ukrainians is still that russia needs to go back to the february 24th borders before you could really get a conversation going. >> exactly. as you know, the u.s. provides ukraine with arms, logistical aid. how much leverage realistically does it have over kyiv? can it nudge ukraine should it want to into making concessions because president zelenskyy's stated objective is restitution of all of ukraine's territory. would there at this stage be public support for any negotiations with the kremlin? >> i think that there would be support when the ukrainians feel that they are ready to go do it, but every time that we have

pressed president biden on this and did again at a news conference just before he left on his trip to asia he keeps repeating the mantra nothing about ukraine without ukraine. certainly the u.s. at this point doesn't want to be seen at least publicly to be nudging them in any particular direction. the other problem, laila, that the u.s. runs into is that secretary of defense lloyd austin back in the spring uttered a real truth when he said the u.s. objective is to make sure that whenever this is all over the russians are not in a position to launch something like this again. you know, the ukrainians have a significant concern, understandable concern, that what the russians would like right now is a lull in the fighting that would give them an opportunity to restore their forces and come back again more heavily in the spring or if they

are not ready in the spring, at some point in the future. so the question is how do you fit that objective, that u.s. objective that austin described into a real negotiation? >> david sanger, thank you so much. thank you for this conversation. >> great to be with you. russia is accusing ukraine of war crimes. moscow says video circulated online show russian soldiers killed after surrendering to ukrainian forces. cnn has geolocated the videos to the outkirts of a recently liberated village in the eastern luhansk region. the edited video purports to show a group of russian soldiers lying face down on the ground with their hands over their heads. more soldiers are seen emerging from a building and lying down next to the other troops in the yard. a man can be heard shouting, come on out. one by one. which one of you is the officer?

has everyone come out? come out. a short burst of gunfire is heard before the video cuts off. a second clip shot from a drone appears to show the same men dead on the ground surrounded by pools of blood. we are unable to verify what exactly happened in the first clip or what happened between the clips, but we know from reuters that the u.n. human rights office is aware of the video and is investigating. in the meantime cnn has reached out to ukraine's general staff for comment twice, but hasn't received a response yet. russia's ministry of defense says the video those, quote, a deliberate and methodological killing of more than ten immobilized russian servicemen. executing prisoners of war is a war crime under the geneva conventions. ukraine has also accused russia of multiple war crimes since the

invasion began. a new report estimates that iran's security forces have killed more than 300 people since the protests started. iran human rights, an ngo based in norway say at least 378 people have been killed since september including 47 children. cnn has not been able to independently verify that number. and ahead on cnn, bold action on the climate crisis. how delegates at the cop27 climate summit reached a landmark deal benefitting poorer countries vulnerable to global warming. plus 8 billion and counting, that's the population of the world right now. we will explain what this milestone means and the challenges facing all of us. for twice the goodness, twice the flavor, and twice the choice. sirloin salisbury steak and all-natural salmon.. perfect for lunch or dinner. only at ihop.. download the app and earn freeee food with every purcrchase.

> . >> translator: it is a symbolic day in terms of the impact that this decision will have on the future, developing countries have been fighting for 30 years to have a fund, to have recognition of the losses and damages associated with climate change. he's one of many leaders from the u.n.'s climate change conference celebrating the decision to create a loss and damage fund to help vowel nerable countries cope with climate disasters. a landmark deal allows nations who have contributed very little to the climate crisis to receive money for damage caused by the effects of global warming. details of where the money will come from have yet to be decided. all right. let's get you more now by bringing in cnn's david mckenzie who is in johannesburg. david, what do you make this have outcome? >> reporter: well, i think it's an acknowledgment that the world

has been unable to stop the worst effects of climate change because vulnerable countries, and you see the disasters that just this year the flooding in pakistan, the ongoing drought in the horn of africa and east africa, these nations and regions don't have the funds to deal with these disasters and the system of aid isn't enough. and so it is an acknowledgment that not enough, excuse me, has been done to stop the climate crisis and this fund, though the details are scant at this stage, is very important because it is an official reckoning from wealthier countries that they need to do their part. but if you look at the report card of this meeting, it is decidedly mixed. despite the loss and damage fund being approved there's also the sense that there's not enough being done to cut emissions, to stop the worst ravages of the climate change that we are facing, increasing in the next

few years. there's also surprisingly maybe to those watching no mention of a dedicated transition from fossil fuels, including oil and natural gas, into renewables. that will be extremely disappointing to many, including, i suspect, the u.n. secretary general. >> let's be clear, our planet is still in the emergency room. we need to drastically reduce emissions now and this is an issue this cop did not address. a fund for loss and damage is essential, but it's not an answer if the climate crisis washes a small island state off the map or turns an entirely african country to desert. the world still needs a giant leap on climate ambition. >> reporter: not only the biggest, likely u.s., china and other parts of the world need to cut their emissions. to get to that 1.5 degrees warming everybody, every nation

that has industrial output will need to transition to cleaner energy. we're not seeing it fast enough and you can imagine that these talks will continue, of course, into the coming years, but not enough is being done to stave off the worst impacts of the climate crisis. >> dave mckenzie reporting from johannesburg, thank you so much for your continued coverage. well, as the world grapples with climate change there is an interlinked issue, population growth. according to the u.n. we have now surpassed 8 billion humans on planet earth as cnn's lynda kinkade tells us about the challenges that lie ahead for a world that's gotten this crowded. >> reporter: this baby born in lebanon is now one of the 8 billion people living on this planet. the united nations estimates that the world population has increased by 1 billion in 12 years and on tuesday it reached 8 billion, a new milestone for

mankind. >> i don't think there is too much of people in this world. what we need to really think about is how to use wisely our resources. >> reporter: the u.n. said human population growth is the result of high fertility in many countries, as well as the advancement of technologies that benefit our longevity. the global population growth is gradually slowing. the u.n. projects that it would take 15 years to add one more billion people to the world and another 21 years for the next billion. >> more education, greater gender equality, more access to health care, all of these things will help to bring down the fertility rate and, therefore, slow the rate of growth. >> reporter: what won't be slowing is the impact of climate change on the next generation, as global leaders continue searching for a sustainable future, experts say that fewer

people on earth will not necessarily solve the climate crisis. at the moment countries with lower population growth are actually creating more greenhouse gas than the rest of the world. >> the majority of the world population grows and will increasingly be concentrated among the world's poorest countries. these countries which have significantly lower emission rates are likely to suffer disproportionately from the effects of climate change. >> reporter: more challenges still ahead, conflict, poverty and diseases. how the world handles these problems would decide the future for the next billion people. lynda kinkade, cnn, atlanta. we will be right back. ♪ give the gift of shine. ♪ onlyly at zales, the diamond store.
