our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the

world. i'm max foster in london. just ahead on cnn "newsroom." friday afternoon, first wave. if you have a flight friday afternoon we'll have delays in the major cities in the east. i'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons. >> during the lame duck? >> i have to make that assessment as i get in and start counting the vote. >> box office clash between the usa and england. and since it is a thanksgiving holiday in america, this game is projected to break records for a soccer broadcast. >> announcer: live from london, this is cnn "newsroom" and max foster. it is friday, november 25th, 9:00 a.m. here in london, and millions of americans could have a tough time making their way

back home during the thanksgiving holiday weekend. those in the southern plains and gulf coast are facing stormy weather and that rain is expected to push east. and parts of the southwest there could be snow as well. a bit of everything, derrick van dam? >> yeah, max. i think this paints a picture here of what we can expect over the eastern two thirds of the country. we have over 50 million americans traveling this weekend. so this weather means business, especially if you're on the roads or if you're flying in the skies as well. can't forget about the black friday specials going on across many of the stores and outlets throughout the united states right now, so people need to add extra time to get to their destinations, maybe taking advantages of the savings at the storms. but let's focus in on the snow over new mexico, texas, where we have winter weather advisories,

up to a foot of snow possible. then into the houston metro area, the potential for flash flooding exists today. you can see the flood watch in existence, radar lighting up like a christmas tree, even though we're still in the thanksgiving season. across the southwest, another area of low pressure, these storm systems work together to create a soggy end to the holiday weekend for the golf as well as the east coast. let's take you forward in time. the first storm system that brings rain to the southeast this morning and then this one fires up and brings another round of rain to a saturated houston area, that means the potential for flash flooding does exist and that flash flood threat stretches into the southern portion of the gulf cost. this system marches up the east coast, many people trying to get home on sunday, this long holiday weekend. so many people traveling at the

airports. can you actually follow the forecast weather delays we're anticipating. here's a look at saturday, dallas, houston, memphis, you can see the delays. look at the east coast, the major metropolitans from dulles, laguardia, jfk, to boston, these are areas we anticipate flight delays because of the sheer volume of people traveling and the potential for heavy rainfall on eastern seaboard. plenty of travel headaches coming up. >> the weather this weekend will be more active than the past few days for millions of americans who traveled by plane to visit family and relatives. pete mounteen has more. >> reporter: the thanksgiving rush is in a brief lull, the tsa screened 2.46 million people

nationwide. that is just shy of a new pandemic-era air travel record. only 6% off of what we saw back in 2019 before the pandemic. so far things have been pretty smooth for passengers, especially considering the fact the weather has been very good and airlines cancelled 50,000 flights in total in the summertime. on wednesday, 60 nationwide. and on tuesday, it says zero. american airlines said it operated the biggest schedule of any airline and operated 99.9% of all of its flights. the industry went through a hiring blitz to try to avoid the meltdowns of the summer again. listen to the top lobbyists who said they hope things would be smooth. >> we're feeling good. it's been three years, and the

airlines have gone above and beyond for everyone to get with their family and friends, they've adjusted schedules and hired people. >> reporter: the thanksgiving rush will roar back on sunday when everyone tries to get back home, the tsa anticipated screening 2.5 million people nationwide. black friday, that is today, usually the biggest shopping day of the year in the u.s. however aun invited guest could spoil the season for many, that is inflation. walmart, target, kohl's, ran early sales cutting prices as much by 50%. we report on the deals out there. >> a lot of the stores that used to be open at midnight on thanksgiving they 'not anymore. so you're not going to find that. you have to wait until black friday itself when stores are

opening around 5:00 or 6:00 a.m. a more respectable hour. i think what we find this year are the discounts. i think this year's buzzword really is value as consumers are trying to contend with higher prices for everything. inflation, you'll see consumers try to find, you know, they're going to be more conservative about what they buy but also find the deep discounts. they're trying to stretch the dollars more and still try to capture the magic of the holiday season, even though their dollars can buy less. retailers are looking to bring in as many sales as possible not just to offload the inventory since the covid surge but because there is such uncertainty where the economy is going to be next year, so they want to bring in sales as early as possible. and we are seeing consumers continue to have a strong appetite to go ahead and buy this holiday shopping season. we have some data, the national retail federation, says that

just this week -- this long weekend, rather, from friday to monday we'll see 166 million people get out and shop online and in store. looking at figures there, sales could reach up to $942 billion before november and december, the shopping season actually ends. well, americans are also being forced to cope with the epidemic of gun violence this season, at least 11 people have been killed this week at a shooting in walmart in chesapeake, virginia and a gay nightclub in colorado springs, colorado. there's a report of 608 mass shootings in the u.s. so far this year. president biden said he plans to use his final weeks with democrats to pass an assault weapons ban. arlette saenz has been traveling with the president. >> reporter: president biden spent the thanksgiving holiday here in nantucket, massachusetts with his family. and the president and first lady

spent at least part of the day on the phone. the couple called into the macy's thanksgiving day parade and later called service members stationed around the globe. the white house saying they called units from each of the branchs of the military. you can see in this photo, president biden and first lady biden making the phone calls. and the president wrote jill and i were honored to speak with our men and women of the armed forces this afternoon. saying we owe you a debt of gratitude. and they stopped by a firehouse where he took questions from reporters and talked about assault weapons. >> the idea, the idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. just sick. it has no social redeeming value. zero. none. not a single solitary rational

for it except profit for the gun manufacturer. >> reporter: the president said he would like to see an assault weapons ban enacted by congress and he plans to look for the votes to do that. but the reality at this moment is the votes don't exist, and the path to getting an assault weapons ban in place will get much harder as divided government is about to start in the new year. arlette saenz cnn. the city of chesapeake, virginia is planning a vigil on tuesday for victims of a mass shooting at walmart there. diane gallagher has the latest on the investigation and what we're learning from witnesses. >> reporter: harrowing stories of survival after another mass shooting. >> the only thing that made it real was the vibrations hitting your chest and the ringing from the gun going off. and it just kept going and going. >> reporter: jessie, a new

employee at the chesapeake, virginia walmart hid under a table until she came face-to-face with the shooter. >> he had the gun up to my forehead and -- it's just really hard. he told me to go home. >> reporter: the city of chesapeake identifying the shooter as 31-year-old andre bing, walmart confirms he was an overnight team lead. according to employees bing entered the break room just as employees were clocking in to start their shifts. >> just left out the bank room [bleep] came in there started capping people up in there. >> reporter: investigators were seen searching the alleged shooter's home and police say the gunman was armed with several magazines and a pistol. >> he didn't say a word, he didn't point at anyone, he didn't look at anyone specific. he just had a bank stare on his

face and he literally just looked around the room and shot. and there were people just dropping to the floor. >> reporter: six employees were shot and killed, including a 16-year-old. police believe the gunman died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound. >> that's a body of a person they brought out in a shopping cart. >> reporter: according to police, two employees were found dead in the break room, one in the front of the store and three victims were taken to local hospitals but later died. 24-year-old jaylen jones was in the break room and shot multiple times, including his back according to his mother. >> he was on a ventilator, he wasn't able to breathe on his own but now he's talking. he's just glad to be alive. >> reporter: in speaking with survivors, employees, former employees about the shooter, almost all of them say he exhibited odd and sometimes threatening behavior. saying that he relished in

having his power in his position. that he was sometimes mean and con decenting, aloof or a loner but every one of those people said in no way, shape or form did they ever think it would come to this. back to you. colorado springs trying to heal after a deadly mass shooting at an lgbtq nightclub a week ago. club q had a long running tradition of holding a thanksgiving feast there. but they couldn't do that. but they were able to move it to a church. >> so many people come together because they care about the community. they are looking at it as this is my community. >> two people weren't present for the meal. cnn's nick watt has details. >> reporter: club q holds a

thanksgiving lunch every year. this year they couldn't hold it in the club because that's a crime scene but they did find a table in town to gather around. missing of course two key members of their family, derrick rump and daniel aston who were bartenders at the club and the glue that held together the small lgbtq community here in colorado springs. how many nightclubs do you know that hold thanksgiving lunches? not many. i think that speaks to the place that club q has, had in the lgbtq community here. the suspect, of course, spent thanksgiving in the county jail. next appearance december 6th is scheduled. we'll see if that moves and meantime, investigators, prosecutors trying to gather the evidence they need to charge those bias related crimes. looks obvious if the you walk

into the only gay club and open fire that this is motivated by hate and targeted hate but evidence is required. now the lawyers for the suspect said he identifies as nonbinary. and we spoke to a good friend saying he never heard the suspect mention anything about being nonbinary. back to you. thanks to nick. a crew ship passenger has the u.s. ghcoast guard to thank aft being overbored in the gulf of mexico. the ship was headed from new orleans to cozumel, mexico. around noon yesterday his sister reported him missing that's when the coast guard was called in. the coast guard found him, air lifted him out of the water in

responsive condition and flew him to new orleans where medical personnel took over. passengers say they noticed a commotion but weren't told what was happening until hours later. ahead on cnn "newsroom" we'll look at a new york law that gives victims a chance to confront their abusers decades later and includes a civil case against former u.s. president donald trump. and a warning from vladimir putin as european leaders try to steer countries away from russian energy. why some are calling their plan a joke. and in the coming hours, england will try to do what has never been done before, beat the u.s. in the world cup. >> reporter: two days england are keen to forget, 1950 and 2010. while gareth's u.s. is looking for a three-pete, england are keen to book their place in the last 16 with a game to spare. i'll be live from doha with all

now we're ready for a huge start to match day two in qatar. you're looking at live pictures from outside the stadium where the day kicks off in about 40 minutes time with wales versus iran. the host qatar look to avoid elimination against senegal. noet roy ecuador. and then the one everyone is waiting for, england versus the united states. what are we calling it today, football or soccer amanda? >> reporter: football, max. i think it's a day where i have to apologize for letting my professional neutrality slip, i'm afraid. it's pretty ominous for the u.s. that after that thumping 6-2 win

gareth southgate called on his side to do better in this next match talking about the importance of qualifying for the next round as quickly as possible. and they know they can do that with a win against the u.s. tonight. as you mentioned, this is a really young, dynamic, exciting u.s. side. many of whom play their club football in england, the likes of christiane pulisic, tyler adams, and their goal scorer against wales timothy said they're relishing that title as underdogs. their coach has said you know, now they have got that huge emotional moment out of the way of all of this squad by one player making their world cup debut they can focus on the job in hand. they joined their families on tuesday night.

they had a barbecue and apparently don't need any extra motivation to get over the disappointment of dropping the points against wales because they know this is their moment to shine on the world stage and looking for the three-pete as so many of their predecessors have done, 1950 the u.s. caused a shock beating england at the world cup. 2010 they caused an embarrassment to england, finishing in a draw seeing the u.s. finish above england in the group. and this team hoping they can do something, get something out of this game to help their progress into the next round. >> watched brazil yesterday. spectacular form, aren't they, but there are some concerns about injuries. >> reporter: yeah, watching brazil, no disappointing there. but this is a tournament that has not been kind to one of their biggest stars, neymar, it was heartbreaking to see him sat on the bench in tears having

limbed off at 80 minutes. we saw the pictures of the huge swollen ankle he's suffering with. this is the same ankle that saw him ruled out for 2019, missed a couple of games in 2021 struggling with an injury as well. the coach has tried to play down the emotion of it, saying he's confident that neymar will play some more part in this world cup but the medics from their side said we'll know more in the next 24 to 48 hours. the good news from the brazilian standpoint they have so much talent in their squad. and last night we saw a real sign of intent and rival on the world cup stage, the spurs forward, rich arlyson, he scored twice, the second sensational. talking about potentially one of the goals of the tournament, that's nine goals in seven

brazil appearances for them. and they did really very little to play down all that talk. the expectation of them as being the pretournament favorites. i can't not say a world of rinaldo as well. he put portugal's case forward and made history for himself. the first man to score in five straight world cups, dating back to 2006. he said putting a full stop on that chapter with manchester united, now focussing on the world cup. >> an exciting day. thank you very much indeed. ukrainian cities take russian artillery fire, including a city just across from europe's largest nuclear plant. that's just ahead. the u.n. is taking action to investigate human rights abuses in iran. but one diplomat said the situation is already a full-fledged crisis. despite the zero covid policy, china sees itself in

before republicans take control of the house in january. we'll have more next hour on "early start." it's been nine months and counting since russia began the invasion of ukraine and a day after the somber mark two cities taking heavy fire. ukraine says dozens took fire across from the zaporizhzhia. there are no reports of casualties. 100 troops from both sides are now on their way home after a prisoner exchange on thursday. ukraine said it'll keep pushing for the release of all of its troops held by russia. and down south, at least seven people are dead after russian artillery attacks on the city of kherson. ukraine says 21 others were injured on thursday in what president zelenskyy called a revenge attack for russia's recent pullout from the city. elsewhere, efforts are under way

to get the lights back on. the capital of kyiv and the rest of ukraine are receiving about half its usual power supply. power plants are slowly coming back on line but ukrainians say the process is taking awhile because of the scale of russian strikes on ukraine's electrical system. and for the first time in decades, temporarily took all of ukraine's nuclear power plants o o off line. the image on the left is from january showing lights all over the country. the one on the right is from this month, most of ukraine in the dark. in kyiv doctors had to perform heart surgery by flashlight after their hospital lost power halfway through the procedure. this video shows them doing the surgery on a child while waiting for generators to kick in. president zelenskyy spoke about the power outages on thursday night.

>> translator: restoration work continues today throughout the whole day. we are gradually restoring electricity, heat, water supply and communication. i'm grateful to everyone who fights and works for our country. together we endured nine months of full-scale war and russia hasn't found a way to break us. >> reporter: monitoring developments in ukraine. these attacks are having a seismic attack, aren't they. >> yep. >> quite credible how quickly they're getting it back online each time. >> they're working incredibly fast. the attacks are ramping up. this is the first time we've seen the power grid, basically everyone in the country lose power at a certain point. they've managed to as of yesterday evening restored about 50% of it in kyiv about 50% of homes still don't have power. a third of homes now have heat.

clearly ukrainians are resilient. this is a real test of that. this is not only getting through your day without heating. this is about losing water, gas, mobile networks have also been coming out. and when do you get it back you're clearly in the knowledge it might not last very long, the attacks are still ongoing. so they're racing to restore all of this with the knowledge it could happen again. the kremlin denies it's hitting what it calls social targets and said if ukraine wants to end the suffering it needs to meet moscow demands. vladim . >> vladimir putin is warning western leaders that any plan to cap oil prices will have repercussions. ana stuart has the details. >> reporter: the issue of capping gas prices has divided the bloc for weeks. the chek deputy prime minister

said he expects it to be spicy. >> the gas cap doesn't satisfy any single country. it's a joke for us after so many amounts of discussions and pro proposals. >> reporter: the eu said a cap of 285 euros on wholesale gas prices sold ahead on the future's market. that is far higher than current prices that some member states questioned the point of it saying it would rarely if ever be triggered. other member states are uncomfortable with capping the price at all, saying it would do little to cap demand. concluding with this. >> i'm glad to inform you that today we are once again sending

a clear message of unity. we are not opening the champagne yet. but put the bottle in the fridge. >> reporter: the message of unity was clear as mud. it's unclear if the eu will find a compromise when they meet again next month. hungary said it will not stand in the way of sweden and finland becoming part of nato. they will ratify next year. the announcement ended weeks of speculation whether hungary will hold up the process. they applied to join nato this year, which must be approved by all members. the u.n. human rights council voted to investigate iran's deadly crackdown on protesters. hundreds of people marched in the capital, tehran, wednesday

night. the movement began with the death of a 22-year-old while in the control of the morality police. in the end, 26 countries voted in favor. here's the u.n.'s human rights chief. >> the unnecessary and disproportionate use of force must come to an end. the old methods and the fortress mentality of those who wield power simply don't work. in fact, they only aggravate the situation. we are now in a full-fledged human rights crisis. >> more now on the investigation from istanbul. >> reporter: this decision by the u.n. human rights council to

establish a fact finding mission is being described as historic, a landmark decision, seen as a huge victory for so many iranians and human rights groups and advocates who for years have been pushing the international community to establish an independent accountability mechanism to try and hold the perpetrators of these human rights violations in iran to account. we've spoken with human rights experts and lawyers who have been following this very closely and have been pushing for this for quite some time. they say what we should expect is the united nations in the coming weeks would establish this fact finding mission and investigate the human rights taking place in the protests since september. it will collect, preserve and analyze evidence that could be used to hold the perpetrators of the violations accountable. some would say this is long overdue, it should have happened

a long time ago in iran. but it is happening at a time when the united nations is warning that the situation in the country is critical. we've heard the u.n. human rights chief describing this as a human rights crisis. with the government's brutal crackdown intensifying, many fear the situation is only going to get worse so it's important the international community is doing this right now. u.s. officials are urging turkey to end the assault ocn kurdish forces. one of the kurdish groups is a key ally in the u.s. fight against isis. they call the turkey actions destabilizing.

but turkey is pushing back, the defense minister saying it is out of the question for turkey to harm coalition forces or civilians. for the second day in a row, china has set a new high for daily covid neinfections. large outbreaks having occurring across the country with two cities reporting the bulk of new infections. let's bring in steven jang. thank you for joining us. of course this is resulting in lots of people in china questioning whether or not the government's strategy is working here. >> reporter: that's right, max. i'm actually working from home as you can probably tell because the cnn beijing bureau is under lockdown because of a suspected case in the building where our office is located. obviously this has been standard operating protocol for quite some time but it hits you when you are personally impacted and

across the country million of residents are affected now one way or another because of the authority's continued and often very strict enforcement of zero covid policy especially with the latest wave of outbreaks showing no sign of abating. when i look out my window, beijing looks like a ghost town in what should be a friday evening rush hour because of the lockdown. the authorities have shutdown shops, restaurants, gyms, and schools have all switched to virtual learning. remember, just two weeks ago the central government here announced a series of new protocols meant to relax some aspects of the enforcement of their zero covid policy but what has happened since is local officials, including those here in beijing decided to do it instead of saying it when it comes to implementing draconian

rules. so that has resulted in more confusion and chaos and more frustration and anger. i think for many chinese people the most sobering reality check comes when they're watching world cup matches and see stadiums packed with audiences without masks or social distancing while they're in lockdown. >> the impact on the economy from people like you being at home not outside spending money, what do you think? >> reporter: yeah, i think that's one million or billion dollar question. and a lot of analysts are saying china has passed the point of no return. because even when beijing implements another shanghai style lockdown it may not help with the omicron variant. i just saw figures saying once again regions that contribute to 20% of china's gdp is in

lockdown. that's on par with april when shanghai was going through the brutal lockdown. so really the way things have come full circle and it's a long, brutal winter ahead, max. >> steven in beijing at home. thank you. the oldest member of the k-pop group is set to begin training in the south korean army. the music star posted a message online urging fans to stay away from the military training center saying it would be crowded and too dangerous to catch a glimpse of him there. military service is mandatory in south korea. still to come on cnn, former u.s. president donald trump could face a civil injury over decades old allegation thanks to a law passed this year in new york. and georgia voters are getting ready for the runoff that

a law that allows adults in new york to sue their abusers long after the statute of limitations has expired is about to be put to the test on former president donald trump, e jean carol sued trump for battery and defamation on saturday, in connection to an assault she said took place in the mid 1990s. thursday was the first day that lawsuits could be brought under the adult survivors' law. >> reporter: e. jean carroll has

sued donald trump for battery and defamation. she said the former president raped her in the mid 1990s in the dressing room of a department store and defamed her when he denied the allegations of rape, saying he didn't know who she was and she made up the rape to boost sales. this was the first lawsuit to try to hold the former president accountable for the alleged assault. she's bringing it you under the new new york law that allows any adult to bring the lawsuit against someone they say sexually assaulted them no matter how long ago the attack occurred. trump's attorney responded to the lawsuit saying this case is unfortunately an abuse of the purpose of this act which creates a terrible precedent and runs the risk of delegitimizing the credibility of actual victim gs. if you look to a 2019 law that

allowed child victims to bring claims, there were 11,000 lawsuits brought in that two-year window. this has been a terrible week for donald trump and his legal team. on top of the new lawsuit other investigations are heating up. the u.s. supreme court cleared the way for house investigators to get trump's tax returns. the new york attorney general's lawsuit against the trump organization has a trial date now. and the question of a special master to review documents found at mar-a-lago and lindsey graham testified before the georgia grand jury investigating 2020 election interference. voters will be able to cast ballots saturday in the u.s. senate runoff election after the georgia supreme court denied a republican bid to prevent early voting from taking place the saturday after thanksgiving. this is a high stakes race between incumbent senator

raphael warnock and republican herschel walker. if warnock wins re-election, democrats will hold 51 out of the 100 seats in the senate. and will no longer have to rely on vice president kamala harris to serve as the tie breaker. >> this court decision was a big deal for democrats because they're operating on such a compressed time frame in this runoff election and they're trying to boost turnout as much as they possibly can. so getting this additional saturday of early voting will really allow a lot of those voters whose schedules are constrained during the week to get out and vote. and, of course, the big question here is what that pool of voters is going to look like. we're expecting a huge drop off from general election day, but the more voters that warnock can get out there, the better it's going to be for him. >> republican groups had argued that voting the saturday after thanksgiving violated state law and would benefit democratic
