so much uncertainty about where the economy is going to be next year, and they want to bring in those sales as early as possible. despite inflation, we are seeing consumers continue to have a strong appetite to go ahead and buy this holiday shopping season. we've got some data, the national retail federation said just this weekend rather from friday to monday, we're going to see 166 million people get out there and shop both online and in store, and you're looking at figures there. sales could reach up to $942 billion before november and december, the shopping season actually ends. alex? >> yeah. stores opening at dawn. a much more respectable hour. alison kosik in new york. happy thanksgiving to you. >> thank you. hi there. welcome to a special thanksgiving edition of "cnn newsroom." happy thanksgiving to all of you out there. we are thankful that you are

with us today on this holiday. people are now gathering around their tables celebrating all across the united states at the macy's thanksgiving day parade in new york. tom the turkey you can see right there kicking things off as he's done since 1973. there was also a new fan favorite, baby yoda, also known as groku who pleased the crowds. on the west side of the park, there is also of course, plenty of football to choose from. not just american football, but soccer, or as most of the world knows it, football. the world cup. there is a full lineup of thanksgiving day matches and history is being made as portugal's cristiano ronaldo scored in three games. that makes history. president biden began the day by greeting firefighters with pumpkin pies and thanking them for their work as first responders. cnn white house correspondent

arlette sainz is with the family in nantucket. what have they been doing? >> reporter: the biden family has been following a longtime tradition for decades now, spending their thanksgiving here in nantucket and president biden and first lady jill biden spent at least part of the day making phone calls, calling into the thanksgiving day macy's parade as well as calling service members stationed around the world. the white house says they called y units from each of the branches of the military, and you see in this photo tweeted by president biden the first couple making those calls saying, you gave up your seat at the table to defend us and we owe you a debt of gratitude. he also stopped by a local firehouse to thank first responders there, and it is there where he spoke with reporters for the first time on camera following that devastating shooting down at a walmart in virginia, and the president once again stressed that he wants to see an assaulw.

>> the idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. just sick. it has no, no social redeeming value. zero, none. not a single solitary rationale for it. >> can you do anything about gun laws? >> i'm going to try. >> what are you going to do? >> i'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons. >> reporter: so the president has repeatedly said that he wants to see an assault weapons ban once again passed in congress, but the reality is that at this moment, the votes simply don't exist, and with a divided congress coming up in january, it's even more unlikely he would be able to get such a measured pass. the president and first lady also made a phone call today to the two owners of club q, that lgbtq nightclub where they had that shooting last -- last weekend and the president heading into this holiday noted that once again, so many american families are going to have empty seats at their table

due to gun violence sgh that's right, arlette. a he savy holiday for so many. thanks so much. let's go to a discussion about those two mass shootings that happened in the days before thank thanksgiving. the chesapeake, virginia police have identified all five all thes who were killed by their coworker inside a walmart on tuesday. police said because the sixth victim who was gunned down is underaged, just 16 years old, they will not be releasing his name. investigators say the gunman did kill himself. cnn's diane gallagher has been on the story in chesapeake. one walmart employee described the moments she was face to face with the shooter. what did she say? >> reporter: hey, you know, alex, listening to these survivors recount the harrowing, terrifying minutes that they were, you know, basically brought to face to face with a man that they knew quite well because he was their overnight supervisor, but police say that he was armed with a handgun and

several magazines, and when he game into this walmart on tuesday night, just an hour before it closed, began shooting and killed his coworkers. take a listen. >> the other team lead was in the doorway, and at first it didn't even look real. it didn't register as real. the only thing that made it real was the vibrations hitting your chest, and the ringing from the gun going off. >> reporter: now i do want to acknowledge the six who were killed there. brian pendleton, kelly pyle, lorenzo gamble, randy blevins, ta tamika evans, and that 16-year-old who they're

withholding because of his age there. police are still trying to determine a motive for this shooting but we talked to survivors and employees, former employees who say, look. he had displayed and exhibited odd and also at times threatening behavior, that he relished in his supervisory position having power over some of these employees saying he was often condescending, mean, but others say he was simply a loner and aloof, and everybody was shocked by this. people in the community are trying to cope and figure out what the do next. >> some said he was the manager to watch out for. our thoughts are with those families on this thanksgiving. dianne gal lagher in chesapeake virginia. let's go to colorado inside that club q night club in colorado. we can see the major bruises the gunman received from several heroes who were on the scene on saturday who beat him to stop the gunfire inside the club. this is the mug shot of the

22-year-old defendant who is now being held without bond. to the people who were targeted, the police in colorado springs, they posted this message along with their logo beside a rainbow ribbon. they said they will continue to stand with the victims, family, and friends now and in the future. cnn national correspondent nick watt joins us from colorado springs. nick, we understand that in just a few hours, the community and it really is a community from what we understand, from club q, they will be getting together for thanksgiving. >> reporter: that's right, alex. at club q, they got together every thanksgiving in club q, of course. this year they can't because that's a crime scene where five people were murdered last weekend, but they have found a table in town around which they can gather, missing, of course, a couple of key members of their community, bartenders, derrick rump and daniel aston who were murdered last weekend. now the suspect is in the jailhouse behind me, and the investigators and prosecutors

are trying to gather evidence so they can hit him with not just first-degree murder charges, but also bias-related crimes. you know we've heard a lot about this suspect's background this week. chaotic childhood, raised by a grandmother because the father was absent very early on acting in porn movies, et cetera. the mother had mental health issues, criminal issues. i spoke to a neighbor, a friend of the suspect's who said he was a smart kid, but lonely, socially awkward, but, you know, alex, there is no rationalizing. there's no explaining. there's no trying to justify what happened here. five people were murdered in cold blood, and here they are trying to gather the evidence to prove why that happened. you walk into a gay club. the only gay club in town and open fire, it certainly looks like hate. prosecutors want to prove that it is hate to give the community here, i suppose some sort of comfort, some sort of vengeance

knowing that they are being respected, that what happened to them is being acknowledged. alex? >> so many questions still about the motivation there. nick watt in colorado springs. thank you very much. really appreciate it. now joining me now are lawmakers from these two states that were impacted by these mass it sh shootings in the past week. thank you so much for joining me today. i know it is a very difficult day, a very difficult thanksgiving for you both, and the families affected. senator, i want to start with you. we are learning more details about the shooting at walmart and the shooter himself. have you learned anything about him that you think should have been flagged or should have stopped him from getting a gun? >> well, you know, that's just the problem. you know, people said that he exhibited what would have

ordinarily been just normal behavior, maybe just a little bit over the top in terms of how he supervised individuals, but, you know, how does a company like walmart know the way they have candidates, if a person is having some kind of mental illness? i have not heard anything that would lead me to believe that there was any reason for him not to have one, which means we need to do a better job of vetting people when they apply for these handguns and that's the reason why i think we have to beef up our universal background checks. that's one way to do it because even though we pass legislation in virginia, my senate bill, we didn't go far enough, and i just think we need to beef up all of what we've done already to try to bring a stop to these mass shootings and this gun violence overall. >> i do want to get into that,

but representative harriet, i want to get to you. you are from colorado springs and you are part of that club q community. what do you make of that alleged attacker claiming now to be nonbinary and using the pronouns they/them? >> i grew up in colorado springs. i represent it for now, but thinking about today, thanksgiving where this is the conta exact day and time i would be in club q and be with my family over the holidays and when i was taking a break from them, i would be at club q because that was a community that supported me even as a visitor from denver. i'm glad they are gathering today to have thanks giving and to mourn and think about what that looks like rebuilding. but when it comes to the shooter, possibly being a member of the lgbtq community or identifying as someone who is lgbtq, it doesn't change the

fact that these people were murdered in cold blood and the hate, the hateful rhetoric, the hate that is obviously in this person's heart, you know, murdered these people, and so it doesn't change the fact that this is a hate crime in my eyes and everything i've seen about this, is hate. where that hate came from we'll hear more about. >> yeah. it certainly does not, but representative, colorado very sadly has had a string of very prominent mass shootings. do you think that this one is going to move the needle at all in colorado when it comes to gun reform? >> you know, i can always hope that it does, you know, my hope is that when people die in this manner that are murdered in a mass shooting that we have reform, right? that it's not in vain, and in colorado, we have passed a number of laws like extreme risk protection orders, red flag laws, that are aimed at ensuring that folks just like this murderer don't get access to weapons. if you look at denver county and

its use of exercising, you know, that law, and taking out extreme risk protection orders, you see a very stark difference between el paso county where these murders happened. el paso county has claimed -- leaders have been very clear that they are a second amendment sanctuary -- city, excuse me. they will not fire red flags against people. that type of sanctuary is what led to these folks at club q being murdered. that kind of sanctuary is what will continue to allow, you know, these people who don't deserve and should not have weapons of mass destruction to get guns in our community. >> senator, i want to pick up where you left off. your state has had two recent shootings, chesapeake, of course, and then at the university of virginia in charlottesville. >> right. >> the response we've heard from

governor glenn youngkin is a focus on mental health. you've talked about tightening background checks. how would you get that done? >> well, i think that what the previous administration -- we were able to introduce a package of bills that were designed to lead us into that direction. just like these last mass shootings, i'm thinking that people will be probably more willing to come to the table to try to beef up these laws, and to take the maental health issues. it's not mutually exclusive. we understand there are people out there with mental health issues. that's not the entirety of the problem. the problem is just there is too much access to firearms. there are too many guns in the hands of people who should not have them, and so what we need to do is just make sure that we vet people before they are able to purchase a firearm to make sure they're capable of handling that responsibility.

>> senator eland representative. thank you. our thoughts are with your communities and we're wishing you the happiest of thanksgivings. thank you. >> thank you. we are following new developments out of ukraine. explosions are being heard around the city of zaporizhzhia in central ukraine. a cnn team there heard at least three explosions and some locals are reporting five in outskirts of the city. let's get right back to our senior international correspondent who is in zap zaporizhzhia. what have you been hearing? >> reporter: the local authorities here have confirmed there were indeed some detonations. they are very much on the outskirts or just beyond the outskirts. people forget we're on a front line here, pretty close to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station which was captured back in march by russia which itself is a fire base used by the russians. the russians accused the ukrainians of shelling it.

sometimes we can hear detonations from there. yesterday and the day before, zaporizhzhia itself was hit. a newborn baby killed in the maternity ward of one of the hospitals here by a missile, debris from a missile. so i'm afraid this is kind of business as usual in a frontline city such as zaporizhzhia. it isn't yet -- doesn't appear to be part of the wave of cruise missile attacks that seem to be taking 7 or 10 days for russians to wind up. the government here saying they've endured some 7 of those pass attacks. yesterday, they're saying 70 cruise missiles were fired at the structure of the country, causing the whole nuclear power industry here to effectively be disconnected from the national grid. that has now been reconnected. they're trying to get things back up and running. the war goes on. fighting remains ferocious in the east. kherson where we were yesterday continues to get bombarded

sporadically and indeed, fires out. there are ukrainian positions firing out of kherson and further north around kharkiv and a place that's been relatively quiet and receiving impact. they're fired at short range from probably inside the russian border. so things grind on here, but the big story is that so far today there hasn't been these massive waves of attacks on the energy infrastructure, alex. >> here's hoping that it stays quiet for the rest of the night and you stay safe. sam kiley. thank you. a new law in new york which allows adult sexual assault survivors to sue their abusers years after the attack. eugene carroll has done that and filed a lawsuit against former president donald trump. we'll have those details next. stay with us. e something better? create something new? our dell technologies advisors

today a new law in new york allows adults to sue their abusers years after an alleged attack, even if the statute of limitations on their claims has expired, and one of the very first lawsuits filed targets former president donald trump. ex-magazine come number nis e. jean carroll excuses him of raping her in the mid '90s. it's her second lawsuit against the former president, but the first that holds him accountable for battery. he denies these claims. what more can you tell us about the lawsuit and the new law? >> reporter: hey, alex. this new lawsuit was filed and

taking advantage of the adult survivors act. she is suing trump for battery. that's about the department store, and also for denying the rape saying he didn't know who she was, and saying she wasn't his type. carroll is seeking a retraction of trump's statements as well as compensatory and punitive damages. trump's attorney alina hava told me while i respect and admire individuals that come forward, this case is unfortunately an abuse of the purpose of this act which creates a terrible precedent and runs the risk of delegitimatizing the act of actual victims. this allows any person over the age of 18 to bring a civil lawsuit against the person who allegedly sexually assaulted them. like you said, no matter how long that occurred. carroll is among the first to bring this lawsuit. today was the day that you could do this. there is a one-year window in order to bring these cases and lawyers say they are expecting a flood of lawsuits.

you need to only look 2019. there was the child victims act. this that case, according to a court spokesperson, there was nearly 11,000 lawsuits filed in that window. alex? >> all right. thank you so much for that report. with me now is harry lipmann. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> i want to talk to you about what we just reported. do you think there could be consequences for donald trump because of this new lawsuit and new law? >> oh, yeah. so it's -- she's brought two causes of action today, alex. one for the assault and one for defamation because trump inanely repeated the defamatory statements he said when he was president. you may remember when he was president and because he was president there was a legal issue, which is did he make these statements in the scope of

employment? which would in effect have brought the lawsuit to an end. now he's done it again as a normal citizen, repeated the same thing, and so now that defense will go away. the issue in the other case is being resolved, but she has a now fresh lawsuit with defamation and the original assault she referred to the courthouse, and she'll get the same judge, judge caplan in new york who she has for that other defamation lawsuit. he's been pretty tough on trump and forced him to sit for a deposition in the first defamation case a few months ago. it's all pretty bad news for donald trump. >> it's bad news after more bad news. it's worth highlighting what a terrible week it has been for him and his legal team. you've got this lawsuit and other investigations that have heated up earlier this week. the supreme court cleared the way for the house to get trump's tax returns. the new york attorney general's lawsuit against the trump

organization now has a trial date, a panel of appeals court judges question trump's need for a special master to review documents found at mar-a-lago, and in relation to 2020 and election interference, lindsey graham, his republican ally in the senate testified before the georgia grand jury. so how much do you think that these legal troubles have the potential to upend his potential candidacy which he just announced? >> so that's really interesting. the candidacy continues to be a bounty for him in terms of raising funds. the question is will any of them actually make him have to leave constitutionally? probably not, unless he's disqualified which is a whole another issue in any of these, and, you know, it's completely as so much with trump, untrod territory. could he run as a defendant? could he run as a convict? practically speaking, he's been really beaten up in civil suits, civil suits by states and these

criminal suits so. without a doubt, it's a really bruising time for him, and you could imagine at some point him saying, all right. uncle. let's just cut a grand deal. i won't be president again and get all of this stuff off my back. >> and another hit that may be coming may come from his former vice president. we now know that mike pence has shown a willingness to speak with the doj about its investigation into january 6th. how likely do you think it is that mike pence complies? what are the gaps that the doj is trying to fill in? >> right. to the second question, alex, there's a lot of important evidence. we heard about it in the january 6th committee that only pence was present for, especially a very heated conversation on the morning of the 6th itself between just those two men. how likely? quite likely. i don't really think he has a leg to stand on when he says he would consider cooperating.

i think that's a nice way of saying he hopes to cut a deal where he doesn't look like he's being marched in under a subpoena, and that might make sense for doj too. so i think they're talking now in order to give a special kind of arrangement for him to testify, but if he, you know, lollygags too much, especially with this new special counsel who's very aggressive, i think they're going to slap a subpoena on him. but for now, i think they're going to try to cut a deal that makes him maybe testify voluntarily and really is in the interest of both sides. >> that of course, is in stark contrast to pence saying that congress and the january 6th committee had no right to his testimony. it's a very different tone when it comes to this criminal investigation. harry litman, thank you very much. appreciate your expertise. >> happy thanksgiving, everyone. >> same to you. food banks nationwide are in a difficult position this holiday season. low resources and increased demand as inflation continues to hammer the economy.

many who struggle to pay for their thanksgiving dinners rely on food banks to get their meals. last year more than 53 million americans needed food help to get by according to feeding america, and now many of those food banks say they're seeing even more people coming in for help. joining us now is tricia cunningham. thank you so much for being with us on this thanksgiving. many food banks are reporting that inflation has hit them really hard, and of course, more families are needing assistance. what are you seeing? >> we're seeing the exact same thing. back in march of this year, we started seeing the needs increase and we've seen a 17% increase from march through this year. we're distributing at levels even higher than the pandemic. during the pandemic, we were probably providing access on average to a little over 10 million meals per month. that is now up to 12.3 million

meals per month. just because people can't make ends meet. >> have you had to change the kinds of food that are giving or the amount? i saw -- i was reading a report that some food banks have switched to chickens for example instead of turkeys. >> it is difficult. supply chain issues are not only impacting retailers and consumers, but they also impact food banks as well. and yes, we make tradeoffs. if we can get one type of product less expensive in the same category than the other type, then that's what we're going to do. we're plagued right now though with a lot of cancellations because a lot of manufacturers are getting a hard time getting the materials from their supply chain which leads to canceled loads which means people that could potentially go hungry. we are providing the needs out into the community right now at a level higher than ever because we have so many families that just can't make ends meet. about 40% of them are dipping into their savings that they had tucked away for harder times

just to be able to buy food for their families. >> trisha, how does this compare to the difficulties that you saw during the pandemic? >> this is very different. during the pandemic, what we saw was an immediate shift, an immediate job loss. people that were in the big economy did not have their jobs anymore, and they had to turn to food banks because they were making it from week to week. what we're seeing now are many people that were making it noll o -- not only from week to week, but comfortably. the fact you see transportation cost and rent, it typically makes up about half a a budget. now it's leading to 60% to 70% of budgets. that's less money for food. people are needing assistance they have never needed even during the pandemic. >> there are some people hesitant to go to a food bank even though they really need

help. what would you say to them? >> you know, the food bank is here to ensure that everyone has food on their table and everybody needs a little help sometimes. food insecurity is very complex, but feeding people isn't. people are -- as long as we have the resources, we're going to continue to provide those meals on the table, and we have a whole host of food pantries and local communities that are right there, ready to serve. as a matter of fact this year we changed our holiday distributions to be more community-based so it would be easier access for all the many people that now need food assistance. >> between thanksgiving and other holidays, there is a spike in good will. what do you recommend people do? what can they purchase or donate to help food banks like yours? >> you know, the best thing for us right now is to be able to donate funds. food banks can typically turn that dollar of resource into multiple meals because we will try to leverage the best that we

can in our supply chain to be able to provide the maximum benefit of that dollar of resource. that's the best, but obviously giving food is another thing. you can go and do -- go to a food bank website. ours is ntfb.org and list the type of items we need. every food bank has that across the country. maybe it's for peanut butter that makes it easier for food banks to bring it in, check it, sort it and get it out to their feeding network which we have about 400 partners in our community. advocating is a great way as well. if you don't have the resources to give money, you can always let your legislators know that they need to be supporting hunger policy. we had many programs available to individual families as well as food banks during the pandemic that are no longer there. it's created a bit of a hole in many food banks like us. we're working on a deficit budget right now because we don't have the donations coming in we had during the pandemic. we've got to be able to get to

more sustainable methods to be able to serve the needs that are heightened in the community, and then finally volunteer. not just during the holidays. we need volunteers after the holidays as well as we need them during the holidays. >> trisha cunningham, thank you so much for joining us and thank you for everything you do. trisha cunningham from the north texas food bank. happy thanksgiving. >> thank you, alex. now would you swim with sharks and not in a cage? officials in cuba are hoping that that answer is yes, and are looking to lure tourists back to cuba with the opportunity to jump into their shark-infested waters and we're going to be diving in. that's next. it's the s subway series menu. 12 irresistible subs. the most epic sandwich roster ever created.

cuba is betting on bull sharks to help lure tourists back to the island post-pandemic. cnn recently visited a government-run dive center in eastern cuba that is being billed as one of the few places in the world where scuba divers can dive with the sharks in the open ocean without protective cages. cnn has more. >> reporter: usually they are the last thing you want to see in the ocean, but sharks are the reason why we have come here to the waters off of eastern cuba. we're hoping to see the pr predators up close and with no cage. local guides say the city is the only place in cuba perhaps or in

the world where divers can safely swim with bull sharks. we're taking them at their word, praying they have had a big breakfast. bull sharks are considered some of the most aggressive in the world, but the ones we see seem mostly curious. swimming around me for a closer look before gliding away. they want to teach visitors to respect sharks and to protect them. [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: the shark is the perfect machine, the perfect predator, he says. it's inspiring, emotional, and satisfying to interact with them. marine biologists say robust shark populations are necessary to maintain coral reeves. in 2015, cuba placed a restriction on shark fishing, one of the countries in the caribbean to realize that sharks are not only important to the environment, but a way to track visitors. people in the caribbean used to

commonly catch and kill sharks either for food or because they were concerned a nuisance, but warmer countries in this region are now taking steps to protect sharks. it's not just about conservation. shark tours and visitors come to the country to dive with sharks and can generate millions of dollars in revenue. just before her first dive with sharks, carrie tells us she's been terrified of them ever since seeing "jaws." >> i watched the movie very young, and i was even afraid to swim in pools, let alone the ocean. so this is a challenge to overcome. >> reporter: guides spear fish to attract the sharks, but are careful to use the minimum bait necessary. they say they have never had an attack and that people who come to dive here gain a new perspective on sharks. it's the myth of the shark being dangerous, a man eater that is aggressive, he says. then you manage to see a shark, a meter and a half away from you
