hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and around the world. i am rosemary church. ahead here on cnn newsroom. america comes to grip another mass shooting. police in colorado search foed for a moti of the attack at a gay nightclub. > r>>p > > r>>p >>unsol idaho. no suspect and no weapons. we'll ask a former fbi special agent how police can crack the case. plus, the battle of investigation, we are looking at how a change of power in the house could lead to gridlock on capitol hill. ♪ ♪ live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with rosemary church. >> good to have you with us. we begin with the latest

development in this week's deadly shooting at an lgbtq nightclub in colorado springs, colorado. police are still investigating the motive. mourners have been laying flowers at a makeshift memorial outside the club. colorado's governor jared polis ordered flags to be flown at half staff through saturday to honor the victims. the shooter, 23-year-old anderson lee aldridge opened fire, five people were killed and injured 25 people. governor polis who's gay spoke with cnn about how the community is reacting. >> this was a place for safety for people and getting the acceptance that too many of them may not have had at home or

their circle and this occurs really put us in the state of shock across the country. >> at least two people inside the club confronted the shooter, fought with him and prevented more bloodshed. the suspect survived and was being treated at a hospital, club q posted a statement on social media, thanking the heroic customers who took down the attacker. the mayor of colorado springs says he's also grateful for the customer's quick action. >> the call came into police at 11:57 p.m. police were on the scene by 12:00. amazingly quick response. it was over by 12:02. that's largely because of the intervention of at least one possible, two heroic individuals who subdue this guy and taken

his handgun and used it to disable him and so not shoot him but hit him with the gun and, disable him. for that, as tragic as this is, it is a horrible crime. it could have been much, much worse. >> police say the suspect was arrested in june of last year in connection to a bomb threat that led to a standoff at his mother's home. but, no charges were filed in the case. here is the colorado springs police chief. >> when you have a club like this targeted, you have to consider it is a possible motive for any suspect going into a club and doing any type of harm whether it is something simple as graffiti or something just tragic and devastating like this. >> club q opened 20 years ago

until the only lgbtq club in colorado springs. many considered it a safe space for the gay community, one describing how the traumatic event unfolded. >> i was on the dance floor dancing, when i heard four to ffive shots - um, i thought it was the music so i kept on dancing. i heard another set of shots and then me and a customer raran to the dressing room andt on the ground and locked the doors and called the police immediately. >> it was so scary, i heard shots, broken glass and bodies. [ cr[ cries] . >> how and why? president biden issued a statement offering

pra praprayers for victims and condemned the increasing violence against the lbgtq environment. he said, quote, places of separation should never be turned into violence and terror, yet it happened too often. he continue tos say, we must drive out the violence. we can't tolerate hate. police in idaho are still searching for a suspect in the killing of four university students. authorities have repeatedly searched the house where the victims was stabbed to death last weekend. they have filled more than 600 tips and cubed over 90 interviews, very few answers. cnn reports the lack of progress is upsetting the community.

>> reporter: it has been very frustrating because we are not getting specific answers from authorities in terms of the latest on this case. during the latest press conference, they did go into a few details of the 911 calls that was placed on sunday after the killing. they'll not say who made that 911 call but what authorities are saying is that it was made on the phone of one of the surviving roommates. by the time police arrived, there were other friends at the home when officers arrived to the scene. now, they also when over the timeline in the latest press conference, a lot of the details that we knew in the sense that they're saying the two surviving roommates went out that night, they were back home at around 1:00 in the morning. they mentioned kaley and maddie going to a sports bar and going to a food truck, getting a ride home and getting home at around 2:00 in the morning. zayna and ethan

coming home around 2:00 in the morning. what police are saying though they have ruled certain people out who they don't believe are suspects in this case. here is the captain overseeing this investigation. >> we do not believe the following individuals are involved in this crime, the two surviving roommates, a male seen at the grub truck food vendor downtown, specifically wearing a white hoodie. a private party provided rides home to kaley and madison in early morning hours of november 13th. currently, there are no suspects in custody and we have not located a weapon. >> now, police also say they know kaley and maddie did make multiple phone calls to a man the night of the attack. they believe this man is not a suspect in this case. they talked to about 90 people that

may have some sort of knowledge into this case. they gotten about 620 tips and they are still reviewing and asking for the public's help in terms of tips and surveillance video and any information that they have may lead to an arrest in this cap ccase. cap cc cacase. camila bern moscow. steve moore, a retired special agent with the fbi, he joins me now from miami. thank you so much, steve. >> thanks for having me. >> so it has been a week since four university of idaho students stabbed to death in the off-campus home. police filled 600 tips and conducted more than 90 interviews, they have no lead on the suspect or the weapon. how unusual is this? why do you think this investigation is taking so long? >> well, first of all, rosemary,

this investigation will take a long time, and i think people need to forget what they see on tv where crimes are solved within 40 minutes and three commercials. this is a serious, deep investigation. that's one thing. we have to give it time. the other thing is right now the fact that they're doing six or 700 interviews indicate that they are doing a generalize search. they have not been able to target it yet. that's where the focus needs to be on focusing on the investigation. >> so, what about the fact that police already ruled out as suspects of the other roommates who were home at the time of the gruesome crime as well as some of the other individuals. how do police make that determination early into the investigation. >> simply by an alibi

information as to where the person was and people saying yes, he or she was with me, things of that nature. there is also other intangibles like the fact that, you could not commit these murders without having blood on you and it would just seem logical that you could rule out certain people even the ones in the house. >> police say that some of the four victims had defensive wounds. what does that reveal to you and why do you think the two of the roommates in the home were not attacked. what does this all signal to you? >> rosemary, what i am seeing here is this case is not the motive of this killer is not going to make any sense to you and me. i do not think this was drug-related, money related or sex-related or

relationship-related. i believe we are dealing with somebody who's deranged essentially. i believe that they're going to and the case is going to depend more on what profilers say about this killer than what we would think just generally. the fact that the women were not assaulted sexually tells us something. tthe fact that he brought hisn weapon tells us he was expected to kill when he went there. the two on each floor may have been all the person needed for whatever desire they had. we don't know until we get to the person. but, what's interesting is they said some of the victims had defensive wounds. what that tells me is that the killer was attacking most of them if not all of them as they slept. as

they had no chance to defend themselves and maybe one woke up in time. this killer came in and killed people or tried to kill people who were sleeping. >> it is just horrifying and steve, while the moscow police department is leading this investigation, they're also getgetting getget assistance from the fb and safe police and other local police department, what does it tell you and how long do you think it will take to track down a suspect with those massive resources available? >> you know i worked at cases like this a while back and it took us 18 years. i don't expect that to be the case here. but, what this tells me is that the moscow police department is doing the right thing. they are aware of the limitations and manpower and they may not have profilers. they are putting the case ahead of their department. and, the

fbi can bring in profilers or bring in manpower and the police in idaho don't have to lose control of the case. this is crucial and it tells me a lot of good things of how this department is led. right now they need to start paying strong attention to the types of proprofilers proprof are providing them. they can pinpoint generally the kind of person who may have done this and say things like he probably knew the victims or he may live a walking distance away. these are things that that can come up with. >> well, let's hope they find the suspect sooner than later. steve moore, thank you so much for talking with us. >> thank you, rosemary. >> we are following new reaction to u.s. attorney gen general mayor garland's position

to point special counsel to weigh potential charges against donald trump. adam schiff is hitting back at the former president's suggestion. >> they're still going to say it is political but it is the right thing to do and most particularly if you ensure that it will not cause any delays. the same prosecutor have been investigating the former president and others can be moved onto the special prosecutor's team then there is every reason to do it and no reason not to do it. and, i think the person who's chosen seemed to be capable and qualified. rp > > > ron brownste from los angeles. good to have you with us.

>> hello. >> republicans are now vowing to inves investigate president biden and his son hunter and including adam schiff. what's going on here? now, appears more interested in political pay backs.? >> yeah, look, i think the under lying reality that hispanics every decision by this narrow new house republican majority is because of donald trump's lies ababout 2020, that puts enormo pressure on them to confront him and avoid making deals with him a aand every turn. the complication they got is that is the dominant impulse for most of the caucus. the vast majority of the caucus are representing safely republican areas that are in that mindset

and want confrontation in every turn. there are going to be some where between 16 and 18 depending on the final votes. house republicans elected from district voted for joe biden. they may be less enthusiastic of the course that this new maj majmajority is setting off it will be interesting how that tension plays out and how they deal with what's going to be really aggressive. >> ron, another issue we are watching closely, donald trump is back on twitter despite being removed back on january 2021 because his tweets insights more violence in the u.s. what impact will this have on the country's political climate and a part where twitter is disarray. >> he's clearly, you know, using twitter as a way to empower and

amplify some of the most extremist voices in america. not only donald trump but others and kanye who's restored to the site and there is discussion of restoring alex jones and any illusion that musk play fair with this enormous global in station had been systematicically obliterated. he sees it as a way to advance a right-wing agenda and at least to empower those voices wherever he can. there are many democratic analysts who say they would like donald trump to be in people's face for two years bec becbecau becaubecau becauset of h of hof having -- so many a reluctant to entrust powers to

tthe tt trump's era. it is clear that musk is very much playing with fire and that kind of way maybe not so much a bug but a feature. >> and ron, on the other side of politics, joe biden is celebrating his 80th birthday. he'll be 86 by the end of his second term in he wins in 2024. how damaging of the optics for democrats even though he may go head to head with an elder i trump or a more youthful ron desantis. >> well, if it is biden and trump, rosemary, it would be 159 years of combined candidates in 2024 which is as long ago as the r emancipation proclamation was. >> look, i describe this election as a double negative election. i thought we are

saying distrust and resistance to the trump era's gop was going to bound and put a ceiling on the usual voter reaction based on disappointments of biden and the direction of the economy. that does not mean the other half was not there. i mean 55% of voters in the exit poll disapproves of biden's performance and two-thirds of voters say they did not want him to run again in 2024. as he signals all of that is irrelevant. as long as he thinks trump is running and trump has now announced he's going to run. he believes it is his final mission to prevent trump tr undermining american democracy. that's a legitimate concern. no one should have any illusion from this election result that there is a vote of confidence. they have a lot of work to do to restore public faith in their ability to produce better

outcomes outc outoutcomes o on you suggest, they may not have donald trump as their opponent and in that case, joe biden has got to improve his approval rating in order of having a shot of winning the white house. >> dave, and ron brownstein always a pleasure to get your analysis. >>. > bob iger is returning to disdisney. disdis the current ceo is stepping down. no reasons was gipgiven. management have b criticized with disney's stock down more than 40% this year. iger is widely respected at disney. he previously led the company for 50 years and over ssaw pixars and brought "star

this tournament is truly a global phenomenon with a tv audience likely to reach 40 billion people by the time the finals played. michael holmes looks at how excitement is building around the globe. >> reporter: world cup fevers, fans around the world getting into the matches and relative vetting up support for their team even if they are not in qatar. people are painting the streets of their neighborhood and screaming flags of yellow, blue and green. >> we are all working to bring energy for our team and brazil to be champions. >> reporter: in one town, india, large cut outs of some of the

>> reporter: what's in dispute is who's responsible. its staff on-site saw some of the explosions from out the window. there was no damage to anything critical to the safety of this site, it was a close call according to the iaea director, rafael grossi who said we are talking about meters away from critical infrastructure, not kilometers. meters. he said in a statement that the news from our team is extremely disturbing. explosions occurred at the site of this major nuclear power plant which is unacceptable. whoever is behind this must stop immediately and as i have said many times before, you are playing with fire. notice he's nnot assigning any blame there grossi had been trying to make nice with the ukrainians and the russians to try to get them for months to agree on some kind of a safety zone around the periperimeter

periperi of that site for safety but so far, there has been no deal. the equipment that was hit on-site was suspiciously the same that would be needed to restart two of the reactors on-site. the ukrainians are desperate for energy right now and given all their circumstances and they got half of their lek industry from nuclear and this place is controlled by the russians is connected still to the ukrainian grid. there is electricity would be produced would go to the ukrainian grid and not the russians. the russians would like to switch that over. the russians have blamed the ukrainians from this that it was shelling coming from the river, we saw shelling over the weekend. this is an area that the russians just the last month said the ukrainians built up a significant amount of military hardware there.

>> all right, our thanks to scott mcclean, joining us live from london. ukraine is responding to russian's war crime accusations. videos circulated online show russian soldiers killed after surrendering to ukrainian forces. on sunday, ukraine's human rights commissioner claim the russians stage a surrender and opening fire. russia has not yet publicly commented on ukrainian's response. cnn has located the video to the out skirts, a recently liberated village of the eastern lohan region. it proports to show a group of russian soldiers lying faced down on the ground with their hands over their heads. soldiers seen emerged from the building. a man can be heard shouting come on out, one

take a look at this, time lapse video of snowfall in buffalo new york over the weekend. that's around 200 centimeters and since thursday. more than 3 million people in western new york are under winter weather alerts right now with more snow expected to fall for the night. the snow was so deep in buffalo that the nfl was forced to move sunday's game between the bills and the cleveland browns to detroit. the bills say more than 56,000 tickets sold for the relocated game in less than 24 hours. buffalo's mayor says the snow storm packed a bigger punch than the city expected. meteorologist

brigly is joining me. that's a lot of snow. >> it is. lake effect snow can have that effect. that's what happens when we have from lake ontario and eerie. rosemary mentioned it is roughly 200 centimeters. water town picked up 62 inches, adding over 24 hours. buffalo, new york, three day's storm totals. and then 21.5 inches, that's a daily record for saturday. the previous record was a whopping 7.6 inches back in 2014. current winds right now, 6 to 8 miles per hour from buffalo to syracuse. those are gusts, sustained winds a little less, winds are expected to strengthen and quicken as we move through the afternoon hours. that's part

of the reason why we are still dealing with lake effect storm warnings and winter weather advisories for parts of central and upstate new york. there is the ban going through way owe. herhep hheavy snowfall is expe top of what we have dealt with over the past three days, the four days, we picked up several inches to feet of snow. roughly 24 to 36 inches sitting around the lakes and still on the ground after what little melting we dealt with. when we get the wind picking up, we whine up with snow. the event is not quite over yet. still dealing with scattered snow showers here in the coming days. one or two inches of snow possible around the lake. high pressure is starting to set up and the colder air will start to set in. that high begins to shift further east and buffalo will start to warm backup into the

40s just in time for thanksgiving. rosemary. >> great to have you with us. >> many thanks. > much like the other clim submit, the past 24 years, there is still no global consensus over how to phase out the world's reliance on fossil fuels. the participants did however agree to a loss and damage fund to help vulnerable countries cope with climate disaster. david mckenzie has the report. >> reporter: this was supposed to be the climate conference of action, son some levels they did meet that goal. there is an agreement there will be a loss a aand damage fund set up. it i giving funds money to those countries that are vulnerable, the developing nations that is are being hammered by the climate crisis already. this is a significant moment after almost three decades of

discussions. >> it is a symbolic day in terms of the impact that this decision with 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. >> but, if you look at the report card of this climate mee meemeeti meetimeeting in eg m in this meeting, they called for mitigating for worse emissions. also, there was no mention of phasing out of fossil fuels including oil and gas. this was disappointing to many of the delegates. >> i urge you to acknowledge when you walk out of this room that we have all fallen short in actions to avoid and minimize

loss of damage. we should have done much more. our citizens expect us to lead. that means far more rapidly reduced emissions. that's how you limit climate change. >> the 1.5 degrees of warming is a long shot at this point. there has to be a 45% cut of car emissions according to scientists to get there. we are looking more than two degrees of warming at this point. the climate crisis is upon us. more needs to be done and we are running out of time. david mckenzie. cnn, johanesberg. >> th >> th>> there are practics that we can use right now. that includes the solar pilot, while also turning a profit, cnn's

lic licensed scientist. >> your only way to steer the balloon is to change your altitude to take another wind layer that has another direction. it is exactly what we have to do. first, you drop the balance of your paradigm and your beliefs so you can change altitude in your mind then you take a new narrative and new direction. protection of the environment is something exciting and creating jobs, doubling the economy because it is profitable. you replace what's polluting by what's protecting the environment. complete change. if you do that, you will have much more people supporting you and the businessmen and the politicians, they'll think whoa, that's really something that we can identify too. it is not

threatening us. it is offering us a better future. p >> p clearly inspiring. that our bill weir reporting. basketball superstar kyrie irving returns from an eight game suspension on sunday. he scored 14 points and five rebounds as his brooklyn nets defeated the grizzlies. irving was suspended after he tweeted a lp link lp l containing antisemeti messages. he says he's happy to be back. >> so good, so good, i miss my teammates and my coaching staff. jjust -- getting prepared with them in the morning and then carrying over into the game. felt good.
