here in the united states and around the world you're watching cnn newsroom. just ahead. protesters take to the streets in china rising up in anger and defiance in an unprecedented challenge to xi jinping 0 covid policy, recent mass shootings in the u.s. prompted president biden to vow to push ahead on an assault weapons ban what some lawmakers are saying about it extreme weather is ramping up in the u.s. a severe storm system could affect more than 25 million people on tuesday. ♪. ♪. ♪. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom. with rose marie church. >> thanks for bee putting with us, we begin incredible new

images out of china as protesters gather across the country in defiance of beijing covid 19 restrictions. some protests like this one in shanghai were peaceful crowds sang the anthem elsewhere crowds called for xi jinping's reviewing nation, they were quick to control the crowds, sunday took a violent turn in shanghai with police dragging people away and loading them into vans. a bbc journalist was among those arrested in shanghai sunday, it's unclear what caused his arrest but this video obtained by rider shows him being dragged to the ground by multiple officers, the journalist has since been released but the bbc said he was beaten, authorities have not made any public statements on the matter so far.

>> anger against beijing spread after a deadly fire killed ten people in the province thursday, some people 0 covid measures were the reason firefighters arrived too late to save the victims. in a rare concession, the city of beijing has changed part of its covid containment measures making it illegal to block the entrance to residential compounds. those passages must remain clear the emergency vehicles effective immediately. she attended a rally in beijing and has this report. >> i'm in the middle of the protest happening in beijing past 1:00 a.m. crowd of mostly young people gathered to protest the covid measures in china been chanting no to covid tests yes to freedom and this is happening in the center of the covid outbreak in beijing where they urged all residents to stay

home. so it's really precedent we're seeing such a large crowd here, a lot of folks you can see they're holding white piece of paper, this is a symbol of anti-censor ship and we also sue protests in shanghai protesters also hold the white pieces of paper. in this district as well around here there are many foreign embassies including the american embassy over there. so notable they chose this site for the protest. the protest has been going on already several hours it's very late, you can see the policeman now is telling me to move back a little bit but there's a large police presence. a whole row of policemen, it is peaceful so far, you can hear cheering, chanting-cars are driving by honking in solidarity, the folks don't look like they're going anywhere any time soon. >> as we just saw in beijing, the blank white paper has become a staple of these rallies,

protesters hope the wide phone symbol makes government reconsider its covid policy. >> i think in a just society no one should be criminalized in our speech, there should not be one voice in our society, we hope this white paper can bring about positive effects and let others know what we're going through is wrong, we should speak four aris i hope i will no longer be holding a white piece of paper. what i want to expresso more and more people know directly. >> i think we need to identify the close contacts or semi close contacts those people who might be infected. this is just enough. we don't need a huge screening of the whole compound it's not necessary to be so meticulous. >> and it does seem beijing strict covid restrictions are not accomplishing what the government wants them to, just hours ago china reported a sixth straight day of record covid infections more than 40,000 new

cases, and that's without counting those in wuhan. the public protests and news of rising cases have rattled the financial markets. in monday's early straying both the shanghai composite took major blows and the chinese plunged against the u.s. dollar. meantime chinese citizens living abroad showed support for protesters back home, in france, a later on crowd gathered in paris sunday holding their own sheets of blank white paper, many of them have been stuck abroad since the start of the pandemic, unable to return home because of covid rules, crowds shouted for the chinese government to unlock china and major cities on a lock-down. and in london, crowds surrounded the chinese embassy on sunday with signs and banners

they called for the release of detain knees from the protests in shanghai, protesters also chanted for president xi xi jinping to step down from office, in the united states, thousands in georgia turned out to vote early in the senate runoff ahead of election day december 6. officials say nearly 80,000 voters cast boots saturday, democrats had to go to court to secure early voting access in nearly two dozen counties, on sunday, democratic incompetent senator raphael warnock cast his ballot in atlanta saying he's significantly out raising his opponent, republican herschal walker. warnock had three times walker's cash reserves at the end of the most recent period. >> u.s. president joe biden has a pack schedule this week,

including host for french president manual macron, assault weapons and the battle over the federal budget. cnn has the story. >> reporter: president biden returning to washington on sunday evening after spending the thanksgiving holiday in nantucket, massachusetts. the president returning to a washington that will be very busy for him over this next week. and the president is expected to host french president i manual macron for the first official visit of his presidency filled with pomp and circumstance and also an honor to the french president to give him the first state visit a symbol of the closeness between the two countries and alliance that has been forged for hundreds of years but of course, become stronger through the crisis in ukraine, france and playing a key leadership role in europe and the united states, of course, president biden working

to keep that global alliance together. the president has a lot of work to do on capitol hill, he floated the idea of have i trying to get assault weapons bans in the lame duck session of congress unlikely to happen but a slew of other items on agenda be president needs complete funded the in reference several weeks priority number one as the president prepares for a republican take over of the house next year needs to get it through before that happens. jeremy diamond, cnn the white house. >> as we just heard, president biden has vowed to work on getting support to pass an assault weapons ban through congress. this after a space of recent deadly shootings across the u.s., in virginia, warmer employee shot six coworkers before killing himself on tuesday. they will hold a special meeting to confirm an emergency declaration they don't help fund

recovery efforts the mayor will lead a candlelight vigil for victims, despite the shootings, one democratic senator said his party does not have enough votes to pass an assault weapons ban, take a listen >> i'm glad president biden will be pushing to his take a vote on as a result weapons ban, the house passed it. sitting in front of the senate, does it have 60 votes in the senate now? probably not, if we passed an assault weapons ban we would see less mass shootings in this country, yes, there are already tens of thousands of assault weapons on the street, nobody stalking about taking them warnock we're just talking about stopping new sales if you look at some most high profile mass shootings the last couple of years many bought the weapon days before carrying out the crime. if those weapons were no longer commercially available only -- only in possession of those who had bought them previously, i think a lot of mass shootings would have been prevented.

>> meantime in colorado springs, colorado respectable are still struggling to cope after the mass shooting at an lgbtq club where a gunman opened fire with a rifle and killed five people. here's what the governor who is gay had to say about his stance on a total ban on assault style weapons >> we learn from each substance but you also have to look at all the cause, is there a way to improve gun safety out of this to make sure they're red flag laws are used? not only had a pistol and a semiautomatic weapon, do we need better laws on ghost guns, do we need to make sure that we have a better process around semiautomatic weapons open to all of those. >> and earlier i spoke with cnn senior political analyst and atlantic senior editor ron

brownstein if mr. biden will be will have the achieve action on gun control given the political shifts that will come with a new congress in january. take a listen. >> he still does have a house, of course, until january of 2023, in the lame duck, they still have unified control. the problem is not the house. the house is already passed a you know, renewal of the assault weapon ban that biden was perhaps the greatest legislative achievement into law in 1994. the problem is that there, the filibuster in the senate eliminates the possibility of action there, i mean, one of the things you know, i have noted is if you look at the 20 states, rosemary, that have the highest gun opener per capita, those 20 states and 32 republicans to at the senate, the 20 states that have the lowest gun ownership per capita, those states and 32 democrats in the senate, same senators from each of the states

at the polls of gun ownership, the difference is the states with the lowest gun ownership have 121 people in them than states where gun ownership some other prevalent because of the structure of the senate and the filibuster those small prominently rural, prominently white states dominated by republicans have a veto over national gun policy and so long as the filibuster is in place, i don't think it's realistic to believe we're ever going to go see much more action on ideas that brought support in the public, assault weapon ban, universal background checks all of those ideas have majority support even the majority support from the republicans who don't own guns but they are n notable politically, giving a veto to those states where gun ownership is more prevalent.

some republicans are criticizing former president trump for hosting a white supremist at his florida home as well as rapperye, formally kanye west. who has been under fire himself for embracing anti-semitic conspiracy theories. >> i don't think it's a good idea for a leader setting an example for the country or party to meet with a racist or anti-semite, it's troubling, shouldn't happen, and we need to avoid those kinds of empowering the extremes, when you meet with people you empower. >> well, certainly needs better judgment who he dines with. he issued a statement said he didn't know who the people were. i would not take a meeting with those person, no, i wouldn't take a meeting with kanye west either. >> last week, trump host he did,ye and, at his mar-a-lago

state. had dinner together a week after trump announced his 2024 presidential run. a 12-year-old is dead and five teenagers are injured after a shooting near a popular shopping district here in atlanta, police say a group of juveniles were escorted away from the atlantic station retail shops for unruly behavior and violating the property's curfew for those under 18. they say the gunfire broke out a short distance away between individuals who knew each other and had a previous conflict with one another. authorities say three guns were recovered from the scene. ahead on cnn a powerful new storm system in the u.s. has the potential to produce tornados and damaging winds, we will have the forecast a look how severe weather impacted one of the busiest travel days of the year here in the u.s. as millions were headed home from the thanksgiving

territory back, these are real changes in russian behavior related partly to the sanctions partly to export controls. they can't buy the kinds of in puts they need for put the military to function. >> do you ultimately think that the sanctions regime that the united states is imposing on russia and other countries are as well will force the kremlin to capitulate, force it to back down >> i think well, the most important thing is the courage of ukrainians, and the commitment they're showing on the battlefield, we've said as a government we're with ukraine from now until the end of this war, until ukraine studies, that means support for the economy, which is also part of what we're doing here to make sure ukraine is able to export currency, support for humanitarian initiatives and for the military and sanctions are a piece of that but they're only one piece of it.
