1:03 am
over power poles and overturning a trailer truck bed as fortunately we're losing that weather threat, but we're still to maintain that heavy rainfall going forward. this storm system is going to create travel headaches as people head back from their holiday weekend visiting family and friends. you can see interstate 75, interstate 80 and 20 within these arias. certainly wet roadways ponding on the roads. there's indianapolis and the chicago metro region. inte interstate 80 will certainly be wet. we're only 200 miles away from the shield of rain reaching the major east coast cities including new york city. we're going to see that advance in the coming hours and that will bring problems to the i-95 corridor.
1:04 am
jf california, dulles into the international airport as the sheer number of people are traveling today coupled with the wet weather and the forecast and could cause travel headaches. here's a look at the winter storm alerts kim mentioned across the west. it's bringing snow to the higher elevations, but there have been a few flurries in seattle, mainly rain in the lower elevation of washington and oregon. nonetheless, it's going to cause a wintry mix. really, if you can get out the door, if you're watching early this morning along the east coast, now's your time if you live in new york or boston or dc because the rain is headed your way. kim? >> very short window to act there. thanks very much, derek van dam. appreciate it. former president donald trump is trying to downplay a meeting he had last week with holocaust denier.
1:05 am
he's trivialized atrocities and he promotes ideas saying it's actually whites being targeted with genocide. trump's acknowledged the visit saying kanye weast showed up wih other people. he's supposed to text saying they both met with trump and ye said trump was really impressed with fuentes. trump posted this. he said he didn't know the three people west showed up with and there was a quick and uneventful dinner. he notably didn't reject fuentes and his anti-semitic views. arlette sainz has more. >> reporter: his administration tried to promote small business
1:06 am
saturday and it was on that shopping trip bind briefly responded to reporters' questions about donald trump's recent dinner with a white nationalist nick fuentes. take a listen to what trump had to say. >> mr. trump, what do you have to say about having dinner with a white nationalist? >> you don't want to hear what i think. >> reporter: while president biden didn't elaborate on his comment, the white house has offered a more elaborate response. white house spokesperson andrew bates telling cnn, quote, bigotry, hating and anti-semitism have absolutely no place in america including mar-a-lago. it's repugnant and dangerous and must be forcefully condemned. this is how the white house would be responding. president biden based so much of his 2020 campaign on the former
1:07 am
president's clashes down in charlottesville and he has spoken out against extreme hateful rhetoric as well as prejudice in this country. now, on sunday president biden is returning to washington with a long to-do list for him to confront, including trying to fund the government as that government funding is set to expire on december 15th. the white house is hoping to fold in additional funding for the pandemic and ukraine and disaster relief. the president is hoping he can sign a bill protecting same-sex and interracial marriage once that comes up for a vote in the senate later this week. the president expressed a desire to try to get some new gun legislation passed including a possible ban on assault weapons in the spate of mass shootings in this country. of course, he's facing an uphill climb as the votes simply don't exist for an assaults weapons ban to pass in congress.
1:08 am
arlette saenz, cnn, traveling with the president in nantucket, massachusetts. >> now, it's been two weeks since the killing of four university of idaho students. local, state, and federal investigators are still looking for answers. after more than a thousand tips and at least 150 interviews, they have yet to identify a suspect or discover a murder weapon. here's cnn's camila bernal with the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: it has been extremely frustrating for the families and the friends of the victims and frankly for the entire community because it's two weeks later and we still don't have a motive, we don't have a weapon, and we do not have a suspect. authorities saying they need more time to look over the crime scene, to process the crime scene. they say things like blood needs to be evaluated, fingerprints, tire marks. they've already taken about 4,000 pictures at the scene. they've also collected about 100
1:09 am
pieces of evidence. they've done three d scans, and there's more to do. there that's all in addition to the hundreds and hundreds of tips they've received, about 1,000 so far, and authorities say they've already done about 150 interviews, so it's going to take a lot of time and a lot of money. governor brad little already pledging up to a million dollars to help in terms of resources for this investigation, and we've seen those resources there. officers even working on thanksgiving day. in terms of the case and the timeline, it's pretty much the same. what authorities have been telling us is that these four students went out on saturday night, november 12th, came back on sunday at around 2:00 in the morning. they're believed to have been killed during the early morning hours, stabbed multiple times while they were likely sleeping. some of them did have defensive wounds, so it's possible that
1:10 am
some of them fought back. but there are still so many questions as to what exactly happened that night. one thing, though, that authorities are saying, they believe this was a targeted attack. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. >> earlier i spoke with angela palermo, reporter with the "idaho statesman", and i asked her about the mood of the town and how other college students were reacting. >> it's gone weeks. like you said, it's a small close-knit community. we haven't had a murder since 2015, so the local police force is really unfamiliar with, you know, how to deal with this, and i think the community members are feeling just a lot of shock and uneasiness. i know some people are carrying a knife on their person now or carrying a concealed firearm, you know, people getting pepper spray, keeping a flashlight on
1:11 am
them. a lot of people are shaken and concerned that the person who did this hasn't been caught. a lot of students headed home a week early before the thanksgiving break, and a lot of them aren't considering coming back for the rest of the semester. the university is making online class participation an option. students who do want to go in person certainly can. those who want to be here in person can do that, but the university is also making online classes an option so that if students feel more comfortable staying home, you know, in other parts of the state or wherever they're coming from, i think a lot of parents may not feel comfortable sending their students back, so the university is trying to be as flexible as they can there. >> that was angela pa lair moe with the "idaho statesman." ukraine commemorates the victims of a historic famine that claimed millions of lives, but in the process they're trying to help other nations who

1:16 am
dozens of protests erupted on university campuses and in cities across china on saturday in an unprecedented show of defiance and anger against the government's restricted zero covid policy. many shouted for leader xi jinping and the communist party to step down. a deadly fire of an apartment building appears to be fueling the most recent anger as video appeared which showed lockdown measures delayed firefighters from reaching the victims. now in an op-ed published sunday morning, chinese state media calls the current measures, quote, scientifically effective. let's get the latest from cnn's
1:17 am
beijing bureau chief steven ji jiang. >> you look at how the authorities handled the aftermath. on one hand they rejected claims that the covid measures had anything to do with the inability for the firefighters to reach the fire quickly. on the otherhand, the covid restrictions were so severe everyone had to be locked down. all of a sudden they launch this campaign of a reopening it. sevens as the loudest wakeup call to a lot of people how increasingly ineffective and unscientific and not to mention dangerous this covid scientific policy has become. that's why we have seen people across this country really
1:18 am
trying to take the matter into their own hands. not only you see people taking to the streets demanding their freedom, clashing with security forces, but also even here in beijing, for example, residents are seen tearing down fences that were put in place to seal them off. all of that culminating saturday night into sunday morning with multiple vigils and protests often spearheaded by a lot of young people on the university campuses. they're seen holding up white paper, white being the color of mourning not only for the victims but it seems there's so much anger and frustration pent up inside themselves but they were not allowed to express them. for a lot of these university students, their entire college life has been under some form of a lockdown, kim. >> looking at the video, you see how big the protests are, you see the police presence there. you talk about clashes with
1:19 am
authorities. is there a chance that the crackdown on the protests might turn more violent, maybe even deadly? >> that is the a potential worry because when you look at these protests, i think they are widespread as you mentioned. but that one extraordinary protest -- you played some of the sound and the introduction was the one taking place in downtown shanghai, the protesters chanting slogans directly rooted at the communist party and its leader xi jinping. that was a watershed moment in the minds of so many people. so far even opponents of the policy have been dancing around this saying the policy may be all wrong, and the leadership, really, their heart was in the right place, but blaming the local enforcement and pointing a finger at overzell o's and incompetent officials, but they're directly challenging the legitimacy of the communist party and the leader. as you know, that's simply not tolerated here.
1:20 am
that's why there's a lot of concern and worry about the protesters. some of them have been taken away by police. we understand that's why a crowd has, again, gathered up in shanghai on the same location, demanding their release. so i think there is a lot of concern there, but not to mention, of course, from the government's perspective, there is also a lot of fear this kind of chanting and protests could inspire others across this country. kim? >> absolutely. we'll keep an eye on this important story throughout the morning. steven jiang, thanks so much. a somber commemoration of a near century-old tragedy in ukraine. across the country people lit candles to mark death by starvation. this was the manmade famine that killed millions during the winter of 1932. president volodymyr zelenskyy drew a comparison to the fight his country faces today. here he is.
1:21 am
>> translator: ukrainians went through jen side, and today we're doing everything possible and impossible to stop the new genocide policy, a new one, but similar to the one that killed milli millions in the 20th century. step by step, we're creating a decision that will stop aggression and guarantee long-term security, the security of ukraine, all of europe, and the world. >> but for the time being ukrainians are feeling anything but secure. power is almost completely stored in restored. president zelenskyy hosted an international food summit to help millions of people who are struggling to put food on the table. for more, sam kiley joined us from zaporizhzhia, ukraine.
1:22 am
sam, take us through this grain from ukraine initiative. >> reporter: well, i don't think it's any kind of coincidence at all that on the day that ukraine marks the h ooh lodomor, the stylist genocide of ukrainians in the 1930s in which millions were deliberately and systematically substantived, they're trying to get the movement to fund grain particularly where grain prices have shot through the roof as a result of russia's invasion of this country. this is something that is burned into the soul of ukrainians, the experience of the holodomor at the hands of stalin. it's something the german chancellor was keen to drive home when he talked about how hunger could not be used as a weapon of war again.
1:23 am
this is what he said. >> the gruesome tactics applied back them including con face skaggs of grain and food suppliesed forced deportation of ukrainians. today we stand united. hunger must never again be used as a weapon. that's why we cannot tolerate what we are witnessing. >> reporter: hunger and attacks on civilians is being used as a weapon by russia. it's as if they've taken stalin's playbook from holodomor, blown off the dust, and trying to repeat history, so that, for example, they've been going after civilian populations, they've systematically tried to destroy the energy infrastructure here, they're looking at war under false pretenses under the argument they're coming to rescue ukrainians from naziism.
1:24 am
this is ludicrous. they are similar, indeed, to the sort of justification used during the holodomor. and the aim was to wipe ukraine as a culture off the map. kim. >> sam, you mentioned railways were attacked by missile around zaporizhzhia. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: just a couple of nights ago i was able to watch a train snaking its way across the bridge not very far from here, almost a romantic site in the context of war, something russia doesn't want to say. so in the neighboring province, they have struck a rail hub. now the rail system has been badly damaged. it will take some time, local authorities are saying, to
1:25 am
repair. on the outskirts of this city, once again strikes by some unknown missiles against an agricultural facility, we don't have much more details except there were no serious injuries as a consequence. those are the steady state attacks, different from the attacks of the cruise missiles that happen every ten days or so. there's been seven of them against the critical infrastructure. further south in liberated kherson, according to local authorities, there have been 54 different incidents of artillery and other attacks across nearly 20 different small communities, small villages, and, of course, the regional capital itself of kherson city, one person killed recently in those russian attacks, kim. >> thanks so much, sam kiley in zaporizhzhia. appreciate it. soccer fans are gearing up for the second week of the world cup. when we come back, we'll look at the most anticipated matches on

1:30 am
followed by croatia versus canada. they'll follow an exciting day by argentina's win over mexico. you can see there fans in buenos aries jumped for score as their team scored the first goal thanks to a first strike from lee nall messi. it's kept their hopes for a world cup alive. >> translator: i thought we were going to be out, but thanks to messi and all the players, thank you. >> and there were scenes of excitement also in denmark as fans were treated to a fun match against france, but the score was even for much of the contest until the french pulled away in tend, winning it with a score of
1:31 am
2-1. in australia, fans beat tunisia, holding second place in group d. saturday's matchings were among the tournament's most memorable. cnn's patrick snell has the details. >> saturday the legendary icons stood up and delivered it. some emotional world cup history to tell you about. let's begin theargentina. hoping for what was an unthinkable defeat. it need a moment of magic to break the deadlock, and guess who gets it? it's a 35-year-old messi superb
1:32 am
strike. they show it cannot keep out. mexico's defenders rather slow to close him down and messi rolling it calmly to fernandez. what a moment for the benfica youngster, curling it to perfection. s he's now the judgest argentine to score. a massively important win for the south american giants who stay very much alive. they are well and truly inspired by that man messi. >> translator: after the goal, we game again what we are, and so it is great. we needed this result, we needed the euphoria in this game that we had to win to keep our place in the tournament. >> earlier in the day poland recording a win of their own against saudi arabia who shocked argentina. poland's star striker still
1:33 am
seeking his first ever world cup goal. he makes no mistake with the first of the match. high drama in the first half. saudi arabia getting penalty, but it's very well stopped by the pole itch goalkeeper who makes an unbelievable rebound. outstanding goal keeping. then comes the moment for the 34 34-11 player. he's overcome by emotion, fighting back the tears t moment that means so much to poland's all-time leading scorer and the fans who adore him. vital win for the poles who need one point on wednesday as they achieve to reach the last 16 six mexico's '86 tournament. they get their three points on board. saudi arabia taking on mexico in their last group game. still so much to play for in that group. elsewhere, france the first
1:34 am
defending world cup champs to qualify since brazil did it in germany, 2006. another standout weekend for a prolific go-scoring keeper. it's the matchup breaking the deadlock with his second at that point of the tournament. typical crisp finish from the 23-year-old with the danes making a real game of it. it's andreas christensen. the stage was set for mbappe to get the game winner, and he did not disappoint. four minutes from time, and he's right there to seal three priceless points for his country. mbappe who scored in the 2018 world cup final in russia already with 31 goals for the french national team at just 23. vital win for australia's players. they take on denmark with their fate in their own hands. the danes badly need to win
1:35 am
france. tunisia not yet out, but they do need a lot of help to advance. a truly memorable saturday at the world cup there in qatar. for now, i'll send it right back to you. iran's national team appears to have ended its silent protest against rights violations back home before its victory against wales. the team half heartedly singing is national anthem which it had declined to do in the previous match. the government threatened consequences if the players continued to stay silent during the anthem. earlier they addressed what his team is facing. >> let them play the game. this is what they want to do. they want to play for the people of iran like the english play for their people and the americans play for their people in a simple way because players, they're not the enemies of the supporters. they're not the enemies.
1:36 am
>> meanwhile iran's supreme leader is hailing the country's paramilitary force for its role in the deadly crackdown on protests. in a televised national address they praised the military, calling the protesters rioters and thugs being backed if i foreign forces. we go live for more with jomana doo karadsheh. >> they describe them as thugs and mercenaries. they've been dismissing it as a foreign plot by the enemies of
1:37 am
the islamic republic, israel, the u.s., uk, germany, and they've used this to crack down on the protests. on thursday we heard from the unite ed nations regime. they wanted to address their legi legi legitimate grievances saying this is the typical narrative of tierney as he described it and saying that this aproers, this fortress mentality, that doesn't work anymore, asking them to listen to the people, and he's saying what they're doing is only an ag gra vating the situation, and this is exactly what we've been seeing for over two months. the more the government cracks down t more people getting
1:38 am
killed, the more people getting ar arrested, this is making people angry. it's feeding the anger of those out on the streets, making them more determined to protest and demand regime change. that speech made by the supreme leader, kim, he was addressed the paramilitary forces you mentioned that is a branch of iran's revolutionary guard corps and it has been at the forefront of this crackdown. it's been leading the way in the violent repression of the protests in an attempt to crush them as it has for years, so people looking at this seeing this as the regime not in any way softening its position, standing its grown, a green light essentially to continue with this crackdown, and it's coming at a time where we've heard the warnings from interest united nations and others. more than 300 people killed.
1:39 am
they say that's a conservative estimate. more than 14,000 people have been arrested. the numbers are believed to be higher than that as well. and at least 16 have been arrested for taking part in the demonstration. so the concern is with the regime not backing down t protesters saying they're going to continue and they're not backing down either, the concern is the situation is going to get much, much worse, kim. >> all right. thanks so much for that report, jomana karadsheh. appreciate it. a more liberated city facing an uphill battle with winter. still ahead, we'll talk with a security expert who came back from the city. please stay with us. not cough? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hoururs of relief from chest congestionn and any type of cough, day y or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season. it makes it really easy and seseamless pick an order print everything you need slap the label on ito the box and it's ready to go our cost for shipping, re cut in half
1:42 am
the new subway series menu. the greatest sandwich roster ever assembled. for more on the new boss, here's patrick mahomes. incredible - meatballs, fresh mozzarella and pepperon- oh, the meatball's out! i thought he never fumbles. the new subway series. what's your pick? former pakistani prime minister called off a protest to the capital city islamabad on saturday. it was his first public appearance after a gun attack
1:43 am
which he says was an assassination attack. he says he called off the march to avoid violence. here he is. >> translator: i have decided not go to islamabad because i know there will be destruction and the loss will be the to the country. instead of causing destruction in our country, creating havoc in our country, it's better that we get out of this krucht system. >> khan has said the prime minister and others were behind the plot to kill him. the government and military officials have denied the accusation. crews are working to restore power to the recently liberated city of kherson. this was the scene as people celebrated the release of russian troops but that's given
1:44 am
way to the reality of what they've left behind. power is out with plants suffering heavy damage. that has residents forced to leave kerr schon before the plummeting temperatures. russian troops moved to the western bank. maria is a disinformation and security expert. she joins us now from odesa to give us a firsthand account about the situation in kherson. thank you so much for being was. before we get to kherson, you're in odesa like many people across the country dealing with power outages, water outages. what's the situation there? >> the situation is quite critical because still the electricity is off for most of the day for a lot of residents in odesa, and that means that the people cannot get heat and cannot get water, and this is the russia tactics to put ukraine into submission by
1:45 am
weapon niegz winter. as the temperature goats cold, it's starting for people to get more and more difficult to go on. but nonetheless, they say they won't be able to be broken by this and russia will not get to their next goal no matter what steps. >> you were in kherson last week. the russians retreated from that. what are you seeing? >> people say they suffered a lot. they couldn't breathe freely. when they went outside, and they tlied not to do so, they were trying to put their hands down, just not to look up and see russian soldiers because that was the most difficult to see occupiers on their own land. then people said those who live near by the torture cells which
1:46 am
russian troops might in several locations they heard the screams of ukrainians brought to the torture cells with bloodbaths on their hands and people said this was unbearable to see those people suffering and to understand what is going on just nearby. >> you can imagine why, so you can then imagine how they were celebrating as those pictures we showdown just moments ago when the russians left. has that feeling of celebration changed in the weeks that have passed now? >> now kherson feels much more different. the feeling of happiness and joyful is still there. but still now people are getting more and more terrified because of the constant russian shelling, and that's what they're telling people to be aware of, that there will be intensified. people are advised to evacuate
1:47 am
because just yesterday they gained more than 50 russian missiles landed in kherson and nearby areas, and this is a barrage of missiles the city and those nearby get every day. the government sets up the buses that every day take up to 100 residents of kherson to a safer area where they can wait until the moment comes, and they will be able to return because no one wants to leave their homes especially now when kherson is free, but there is -- for many people, there is no other choice because it's too difficult to survive without water and without electricity and without h heat. >> and not just the residents. you say the hospitals as well are having to evacuate patients but as you said because of the water and electricity. >> absolutely.
1:48 am
i talked to the older woman on the fifth floor. she said, her husband is ill and cannot get any medical treatment because the hospitals as well don't have water supply, there is no internet connection, you cannot call the ambulance, and she cannot take him out of the apartment because they live on the fifth floor. so for people like this couple, it's urgent to be evacuated at least for some time, and that's what hospitals do. they evacuate the hospitals and the patients to a safer location like odesa, here, and then everyone waits until the electricity will be restored. but still while russian troops are continuing the shelling and while they're located so close to the city, it will be too dangerous to return to kherson. >> listen, really appreciate your insights on this, maria
