million since last year. alison kosik is in the middle of the madness in macy's in new york. a lot of people around you. what are you seeing today? >> reporter: yeah. these crowds, victor, they have not let up all day, and i'm not just talking about outside here at harold square outside the m macy's department store in new york city. inside macy's, if you walk in, take my word for it, you can barely move. it is just packed solid. so black friday, yes. it is the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season, and it is expected despite higher inflation. it is expected to be one of the biggest shopping days of the year with 115 million people across the country shopping. more than half are expected to shop in-store, but interestingly enough adobe analytics tells us that on thanksgiving when people were supposed to be eating their dinners, they were shopping as

well on their phones. $5.2 billion spent just one day on thanksgiving online. now a lot of shoppers i'm talking with, they tell me this year it's a little different because it requires a little more strategy because of the el fant -- elephant in the room. it's called inflation and it's cutting into their spending four. a lot of shoppers are saying they're sticking to budgets, looking at deals and making sure they navigate that sea to figure out which deals are good enough to buy those gifts for their friends and family they want to buy for. the nrf, the national retail federation is pretty positive about how the holiday shopping season will turn out saying that said. ing intespending should rise by. >> important time. alison kosik, thank you so much outside macy's. let's turn now to that miraculous thanksgiving day rescue. a cruise ship passenger is alive after staying alone in the water, floating there for hours.

the man's sister says she last saw him wednesday night on board the carnival "valor". it was from new orleans to mexico. yesterday afternoon the coast guard launched a search effort and they spotted him and pulled him to safety. nick valencia will tell us the rest of the story. incredible that up to 20 hours this man was floating and waiting. what do know about the passenger and how he survived? >> reporter: this is the story of the day and it'll clearly have a story this man will tell for the rest of his life. the u.s. coast guard says he was a passenger on the u.s. cruise ship the carnival" valor" which was scheduled to head to cozumel, mexico. it was 11:00 p.m. wednesday night this 28-year-old was at the bar with his sister when he tells her he was going to the restroom. he never came back. his sister didn't report him missing until noon the next day. the cruise ship searched the vessel and couldn't find him. they reported it to the coast guard and a search and rescue

operation was launched. the vessel, the cruise ship stopped in its tracks, rerouted and retraced its route to try to participate in that search and rescue to find him. he was spotted floating in the gulf of mexico which had about 70-degree temperature waters by a vessel. crew members from a separate vessel. he was hoisted up by the u.s. coast guard and transported to a local hospital in new orleans where he was treated. he's said to be in stable condition and it's crazy to think about him being in the water for up to 20 hours. here's what he said in an interview earlier this afternoon. >> he was able to identify his name, confirm he was the individual that fell overboard. he was showing signs of hypot hypothermia, shock, dehydration, but like i said, he was communicative, but gave no clear indication of why he fell overboard. >> what do you think might have made the difference? how was he able to survive? >> will to live. i think for this particular case, you know, we were out there doing what we practiced, what we joined the coast guard to do, and the fact that he was

able to keep himself afloat and above the surface of the water for such an extended period of time, it's just something you can't take for granted and certainly something that will stick with me forever. >> reporter: rescue work, when you think about how wide of an area they were searching for, about the size of massachusetts, and this 28-year-old was spotted in the water. we're told that the family was unable to get off the vessel. so we don't know if this man is by himself in new orleans, but he has a hell of a thanksgiving story to tell, victor. >> certainly does. alive and responsive. hopefully we hear that from him. nick valencia, thank you for the reporting. >> you got it. let's focus on virginia now and police in chesapeake have released the name of the youngest victim killed at a mass shooting inside a walmart on tuesday. fernando chavez barron was killed. city officials revealed that the man posted what they're coming a

death note on his cell phone. cnn's brian todd has that story. what do we know about that? >> reporter: this is all about the shooter's grievances and his anger. not just at his colleagues, but with himself. the city of chesapeake says this was found on the shooter's phone. it discusses god, the holy spirit and how the author felt his associates at work were mocking him. here is one passage from that note. quote, the associates gave me evil, twisted grins, mocked me, and celebrated my downfall the last day. that's why they suffer the same fate as me, end quote. here's another. i wish i could have saved everyone from myself. my god, forgive me for what i'm going to do. end quote. the note also discusses how the author wished his parents had paid closer attention to what he calls his social deficits and he said that he felt like he was, quote, led by satan, and the note says this attack was not planned, but the fact that there even was a note discussing what he was going to do suggests that maybe at least some planning was involved here, and city officials say the shooter's name

is andre bing, that he used a 9 millimeter handgun that was purchased locally on the morning of the attack. >> brian todd for us. thank you so much. let's turn to texas now and the family of a police shooting victim say they're celebrating a thanksgiving miracle. eric cantu was released from the hospital there this week nearly two months after the 17-year-old was shot in his parked car. he was eating in the car. a san antonio police officer has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault by a public servant. he said he thought he recognized cantu's car from a previous call. cantu's family writes on a gofundme page, we didn't know what the future held. today with prayers and love and amazing doctors and tons of future rehabilitation, our miracle stands a chance. today is mother's day in russia, and president vladimir putin met with some mothers of russian soldiers sent to fight

in ukraine. they gathered at putin's official residence where he told them that nothing can replace the loss of a son. well, this month the u.s. said it's likely russia and ukraine each have suffered about 100,000 wounded or killed troops from putin's war. satellite images -- look at this. they show how much ukraine's electrical system has been impacted from russia's strikes this year. the image from the left is from january. the one on the right is from this month. the major hits to ukraine's energy networks are happening as winter sets in. sam kiley joins us from ukraine. how is ukraine coping with or trying to compensate for this repeated loss of power? >> reporter: well, repeated is exactly the right way to put it because there have been seven, according to the government here in ukraine attacks. these swarm attacks using masses of cruise missiles. 70 they say -- 70 plus in the last wave a few days ago,

victor, and they're aiming at the russians aiming at breaking down the energy system here in ukraine. the ukrainians are being remarkably resill yent and they're saying they're hopefully able to get kyiv up and running tomorrow, and even looking to reconnect kherson city to the national grid. that's been disconnected for many months after russians destroyed the links on their way out of the city and destroyed the generating capacity in that city. close to a miracle there. the problem is though that even if they get it all back and kind of gerrymandered to fix, it's not at full capacity. that is two years away. they say they cannot get the equipment anywhere in the world to repair their network back to pristine level, but they are proving capable of getting it back, but every time they get it back, the country goes into scheduled cuts -- power cuts as they try to reroute electricity

around the country servicing the most important sectors. hospitals, public transport, and so on. the russians know every time they launched these mass missile attacks they can degrade it that little bit further. winter has not really set in, in earnest. they could plummet the temperatures at any moment. we could expect it to go down by a very significant level. >> thank you, sam. we're getting a fresh look at the moon. na nasa released incredible close-up images thanks to the artemis mission. and a major matchup happening at the world cup. the u.s. facing off against england. we are live at pubs inengland.

nasa has just released new pictures of the moon. this is the first look we have had at the surface in 50 years. the images were taken as part of the artemis 1 mission where the orion spacecraft is expected to travel more than 40,000 miles beyond the far side of the moon. adam frank is a professor of astrophysics at the university of rochester and author of "light of the stars." that's a heavy title. adam frank, always good to have you on. listen. these pictures, they're fantastic. what are they showing us now that we've not seen before? >> well, i mean, the one thing is just that we're able to get close enough with a spacecraft that's rated for human

habitation this close, and really the important thing about these pictures is they speak to the fact that we're -- what's going to happen is we're about to go into this new orbit, you know, this special orbit that nasa is going to try out and no one's ever done that before. no one's ever tried to explore this part of sort of the space, you know, transit system. humanity is raight now at this stage where we're trying to flesh out -- just like it took us awhile to try to build bridges and highway overpasses, nasa is circling around the moon, taking those pictures and now he's getting those distant, retrograde orbit, and it's something that's never been tried before, and it's essential to have human deep space capacity. it look forever to build the skyway in jersey which is aening lo, elevated highway, the same thing is going on with nasa. they're about to try a new part of space to see how -- will it

be stable? maybe we'll capture asteroids and park them. these pictures are kind of part of this process of getting a human presence in deep space for the first time. >> yeah. i've read those words, distant retrograde orbit. i thought, sounds impressive. i have no idea what it means. i'm glad you just explained it for us, why this is important. we're also seeing these selfies that the capsule cameras are taking. they're cool. what's the practical use for these? >> well, this is a whole new spaceship, right? it's like when you buy your first car. you want to take a lot of pictures of it because it looks cool, but also everyone working on the car. part of the reason is to actually make sure all these zillion pieces of technology really advanced technology, that it's all working because, you know, eventually we'll have human being on these spacecraft and have human beings going back and forth all the time. what we're seeing here is the

first shakeout of the kind of technology that's going to allow us to really have -- get beyond the moon over the next 5, 10, 20, 30 years. >> adam frank. you always bring it home for us. so exciting. thank you so much. good to see you. >> a pleasure. the drama never stops over twitter. elon musk says amnesty begins next week for previously su suspended accounts. one expert warned it will be like opening the gates of hell. and former president trump had dinner with ye, the rapper formerly known as kanye west along with a white nationalist and holocaust denier this week at mar-a-lago. new reporting next.

some new reporting just into cnn. former president trump hosted holocaust denier nick fuentes and the rapper formerly known as kanye west at his private mar-a-lago estate this week. cnn's maeve reston has the story. maeve, what is happening here? >> reporter: so we're seeing once again that the former president seems to be

comfortable associating with people who have expressed anti-semitic views and in this case kanye west started posting this week on twitter that he had visited trump at mar-a-lago, and said that he had been there with nick fuentes who is a known holocaust denier and someone who has made a series of inflammatory statements over the last couple of years. so they had dinner apparently. trump has now acknowledged this dinner in a truth social post that i will read to you. he said -- the former president said, this past week kanye west called me to have dinner at mar-a-lago. shortly thereafter he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends whom i knew nothing about. we had dinner on tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. the dinner was quick and uneventful. they then left for the airport, but this is something that we

have seen the former president do before when he is, you know, asked about his association or his meetings with controversial figures. he claims that he doesn't know much about them or in this case, that he doesn't know who they are. nick fuentes is very well known for his views, and, in fact, was on the capitol grounds on january 6th and has been subpoenaed by the house select committee. so the idea that trump knew nothing about his views is -- is suspect to say the at least. >> i remember in the run up to 2016 he was asked -- i believe it was by jake tapper about david duke's support. >> reporter: exactly. >> and candidate trump said, i know nothing about david duke although in the past having remarked on him. mar-a-lago's not a place you can just kind of drop in and see a former president. it's a private club at a home, and the dinner went on? >> reporter: right. >> they continued to have the dinner with kanye in this moment, and these other men he

says he did not know. >> reporter: yep. so it -- all of those facts strung together don't seem to make a lot of sense when reconciled with trump's statement, victor. >> maeve reston, thank you. >> reporter: thank you. elon musk says that he will restore most of the previously banned accounts on the social media platform, twitter, starting next week. the billionaire ceo polled followers on whether to offer what he called general amnesty to users who have not broken the law or are what we called egregious spamming. the poll had more than 3 million votes, 72% of lifting the bans. let's talk to the president of the national urban league. let's start with your general reaction to this decision from elon musk. >> this is what i predicted would happen at the moment he announced this transaction, that he would open the floodgates, the gates to hell, that the

twitter swamp would be refilled with alalligators, crocodiles, serpents and prognosticators of hate speech. this has to be resisted because this is a threat to many americans and people all over the globe. twitter had made progress, not enough with its content moderation approach, you know, and had taken these folks rightfully off of twitter. now elon musk is allowing people like david duke, ye, others who have been promoters of hatred, promoters of conspiracy theories, back on this site, and i can tell you it's important that we resist this effort, that we take every step available to us at this point to resist the idea that this site seems to be moving in the direction of being the most favored site for every

conspiracy theorist, hate monger, anti-semitic, racist, you name it and even in places like africa where bots have been used to create hysteria and prop propaganda, it appears musk's strategy is going to allow that type of activity to resume. victor, it's important that we resist this by any means necessary. >> let's talk about the resistance, because you were on this letter with the national action network and the naacp. the naacp is now calling for corporations to boycott twitter, to pause their advertising on twitter. do you support that? >> i'm not yet decided if i'm going to support that because what we're considering is a range of options which would include that, include regulatory

options at the ftc and the sec, calling on apple and google to remove twitter from its app store, encouraging people to perhaps desubscribe from twitter. i think we need to use a range of steps to rein in what elon musk is now doing. we're considering and i know many others are calling for a variety of these things, stepping to be taken to rein elon musk in. victor, at the core of the matter is that the internet and social media which is a powerful invention and a powerful tool, is now being hijacked by people. this calls out there needs to be public policy guardrails, a set of rules and regulations. whether it's going to come from the federal government or state governments or local governments -- >> yeah. >> -- this is the direction. there's got to be a reset with respect to how social media is

being used in the world today. >> and elon musk said that there would be this moderation cancel -- council formation. it has not been formed. you talked about the reinstatements of ye and trump and marjorie taylor greene. he's his justification. he said, a large coalition of social activist groups agreed to not kill twitter if i agreed to this condition. they broke the deal. your thoughts? >> he broke any deal that was made and i wasn't apart of that deal. so i don't know what he's talking about. >> sure. >> no one made a deal with elon musk to pause, if you will, activities while he set up this content moderation. if he were acting in good faith, he would have set this content moderation panel up before taking the step to, you know, in other words unleash and reopen the gates to hell. >> let me ask you one more because you say that the national urban league is considering a menu of options on

how to a -- >> a range. >> a range of options to combat this. your group still operates a twitter page. you promote your programs there, and you still in some ways drive traffic to the page. >> we do. >> by trying to get people to follow and retweet and draw them to your elements. why not start by pausing your own page if the place is so awful? >> so twitter is so powerful and monopolistic, what we can't do is unilaterally silence ourselves in an effort to if you will, fight twitter. for us to remove ourselves from twitter would not by ourselves have the impact of altering musk's approach, and if you will, stopping him from doing what he's doing. so that's why i said, a range of options and i'm not going to telegraph all the steps that we're going to take, but we're not going to unilaterally disarm. we're not going to engage in

symbolic gestures here. this is about something much bigger than that, and it's going to take action beyond what the naacp can do. it's going to take a coalition of not only americans, but people across the world. >> thank you. good to have you. >> thank you. in the wake of the horrific mass shootings this week, president biden vows to move on an assault weapons ban, but with a lame duck congress in session, can he get on with that? we'll get to it next. so incredibly comfortable? it's in the details. combining time honored craftsmanship with luxurious materials. like intricatelyuilted fabrics and rich velvet trim. every detail cated, for indulgent comfort, exceptional quality, and a beautifully designed mattress. during the black friday event,

just weeks left until republicans take control of the house, and with the clock ticking in this lame duck session, president biden says he wants to ban assault weapons after the latest string of mass shootings across this country. cnn capitol hill reporter melanie zunona is with us now. what biden is saying he wants to try to do, look at the numbers. it just doesn't seem realistic. >> reporter: you're right, victor. look. congress already faces a jam-packed to-do list when they come back for the lame duck session and after this string of recent shootings, president biden added another one to the wish list. take a listen. >> 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 except propaganda and gun

manufacture. >> can you do it with a lame duck, sir? >> i'm going to try. >> you're going to try -- >> i'm going to try to get rid of the assault weapons. >> during the lame duck? >> i have to make that assessment and start counting the votes. >> victor, i can tell you there are not the votes for a ban on assault weapons. there is virtually no appetite among republicans to do that. there's also very little time left on the legislative calendar and it'll be harder to do that when the power is divided between congress. i don't expect to see action on that front. we can expect to see action on a number of other fronts over these next few weeks. number one, congress needs to tackle two different must-pass items. that includes funding the government by december 16 pth. that's when the current funding patch expires and a policy bill. that gets passed every year. we're expecting that to happen and there's a number of other items on the wish list. same-sex marriage bill. we're expecting them to finish it and pass it. they have been working on election reforms to prevent

another january 6th. that's bipartisan. we could see action there. they're also trying to figure out whether they can lift the debt ceiling. that's not something they need to do next year, but there's concern over the gop house would be able to do it. there's a busy, busy few weeks on capitol hill over here. >> i think you got the right characterization. the wish list. melanie for us in washington. thank you very much. laura barron lopez is a correspondent for pbs news hour. good to see you. melanie just went through anyhow realistic any of this action on an assault weapons ban on any of this is. is there any investment from the white house beyond a statement here, a speech there, remark outside of a firehouse? >> well, that's a really good question, victor because the president has long called for congress to pass an assault weapons ban, essentially since he ran for the presidency, and he has repeated it after each mass shooting that has occurred

while he's been president, but there's a big difference between calling for it and also as he said, recently saying he was going to try to count votes and make a push for it. how much muscle the white house puts behind this in the lame duck is something that remains to be seen. again though, to melanie's point, i -- the votes aren't really there. even though there are senators like senator joe manchin, a centrist democrat who has expressed support for an assault weapons ban, the idea there are ten republicans now in the senate seems very unlikely. >> a lot of pictures here. you saw there, the president and the first lady who were leaving nantucket book works doing a little shopping on this black friday as they take a break from washington there in nantucket. so i wanted to tell you what you were looking at there. let's turn to this dinner at mar-a-lago. former president trump hosting kanye west -- or ye. formerly known as kanye west, nick fuentes, a holocaust

denier. what is happening here? we know that the former president likes to surround himself with anybody who likes him, but to suggest to have no idea who fuentes is, he clearly knows what ye has said over the last couple of months, what do you see happening with this dinner? >> the former president has repeatedly said that he doesn't know people when he does know them, when there has been photographic evidence of him with people, with extremists and nick fuentes is an extremist who's labeled a white supremacist by the justice department, and to me, victor, look. what we're seeing is the president continue to surround himself with yes people, to continue to surround himself with people who push anti-semitism, push racism, and push white supremacy and white nationalist ideologies. that is not something new for the president. it's something he did when he was in offices and it's something he's continued to do since he's been out of office. now the question is whether or

not the base supporters, republican base supporters continue to vote for him since he has announced that he is going to seek the presidency yet again. even though voters did reject election denialism, extremism. in a lot of statewide races, there were more than 100 election deniers that were elected to seats in the house. some seats in the senate, and some gubernatorial seats. so the extremist element that the former president has tied himself to isn't going anywhere, and we could definitely see more of it gain a stronger voice among the house republican conference as they take the majority next congress. >> all right. laura barron-lopez, thank you so much. soccer fans are glued to the final minutes of the highly anticipated matchup. the u.s. men's national team is facing off against england. we're live at watch parties on both sides of the pond. that's next. but first, the holiday season is here, and it comes

this is in the making. they have been playing giving these fans a lot of hope. i told you earlier a lot of the fans were pointing to the revolutionary war in 1776 or the upset in 1950 as reasons to be optimistic, and hey. i was skeptical, but it's worked out so far. >> all right. every cheer that we hear in atlanta matches a groan that we hear in london. anna, what are you seeing? >> we've got less than two minutes to go. it's not looking that good and honestly, a couple of hours ago, i would not have believed this. england were the favorites. u.s. were the underdogs. this was meant to be a 4-0, victory, 5-0 victory is what i heard from fans. their faces are looking a lot less confident right now. are we going to win this one? >> i'm not sure right now. i'm

bissonnette. >> does it matter if we don't make this one? >> you'll go for it as well. >> oh, no! it wasn't a goal. it's not looking good. there will be many people drowning their sorrows in just a few seconds. andy, can you hear me, andy? let me stay with anna. you say this was expected to be -- let's let andy go. you can hear me, andy? >> i can hear you now, victor. call dropped. >> i want to know what you're feeling, andy, because your face is telling a lot. >> i'm hanging on everything kick. england was supposed to win this

game. the u.n. has had pressure on the entire time. the fans are expecting us to get a goal and win. but still, a draw against england in this scenario, you consider that a big win for team usa. >> andy, anna, thank you. we're learning some new details, disturbing details about the man who killed six of his co-workers at a virginia walmart. we have those for you ahead. hi, my name is tony cooper. and if you have both medicare and medicaid, i have some really encouraging news that you'u'll definitely want to hehear. depending on the plan you choose, you may be eligible to o get extra benefis with a humana medicare advantage dual-eligible special needs plan. all of these plans include a healthy options allowance. depending on the plans available in your area, you could get up to $1800 a year to help pay for essentials like eligible
