i'd say pretty lucky. >> reporter: we are just learning tonight that one of the survivors this crash has now been released from the hospital. firefighters point out one extra piece of luck. that plane first sliced through the powerlines and then crashed into that trans emission tower behind me. they are calling it incredible that nobody here was electrocuted. >> so lucky. pete muntean, thank you so much for that report. i'm brianna keilar in "the situation room." "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. ♪ "outfront" next, markets plummet after protests spread in china. and tonight the country going to new extremes to censor what the chinese people are seeing. is a brutal crackdown coming? we're live in beijing tonight. plus, election deniers

lining up one by one saying they should be punished by death for certifying a state's election. an "outfront" exclusive tonight, hear from a russian woman standing up against putin's war, and now leading the charge to demand russia pull out of ukraine. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, markets plunge worldwide. the reason, widespread protests in china against xi jinping's covid lockdowns, sparking fear across the world, sending stocks lower. the dow sank 500 points this afternoon. the uprisings in cities across china are on a scale not seen since the at the enan men square protests. you are seeing just six of the nearly dozen city as cross china we know are facing mass protests. there could be even more because obviously it is difficult to get a lot of information. but this is what we know of. these are mass protests coast to coast. today a reporter from reuters asked a chinese official about

whether the protest would impact xi jinping's zero covid policy. the answer coming off as a bizarre denial that a problem even exists. >> is china considering ending it soon? and if so, when? >> translator: we believe that with the leadership of the chinese communist party and the chinese people, our fight against covid-19 will be successful. >> so how does china define success? right now the country is seeing its highest level of covid infections since the pandemic began. and as for the chinese people, they're showing leadership right now by hitting the streets in shanghai, one of china a's biggest and richest cities, the financial capital of the country, thousands came out despite the risk of arrest. the crowds chanting, quote, no pcr tests, we want freedom.

just look at those people on your screen. the response brutal force, dramatic images of police dragging away men and women. these are images that protesters have been able to upload so we can actually see them. in the chinese capital beijing where xi jinping lives, the crowd is chanting, quote, we don't want lockdowns, we want freedom. and something you may have noticed in these pictures is the people holding up just plblank sheets of paper. that in and of itself is a new way of protesting. you can't accuse us of writing or displaying a message that is deemed illegal. we're just holding a blank piece of paper. that is now reportedly being censored by the government. they are now being filtered from search results in china. on twitter, when people in china are searching for protests, what they get is spam and porn. officials are going into overdrive to censor what the chinese are seeing. it is really incredible to think about this.

because, fra ily, people in china are seeing a lot because they're actually living through what we have been showing you for months out front. a desperate mother under lockdown jumping to her death from her 12-floor balcony. they hear the screams for food and medicine. [ screams ] armed chinese workers locking down airports, leaving passengers stranded. well, tonight the white house is weighing in. >> people should be allowed the right to assemble and to peacefully protest policies or laws that dictate that they take issue with. >> but as throngs of chinese protests, how big do these protests get? or will the protesters pay a terrible price? selina wang begins our coverage live "outfront" in bangeige bei. you are there in beijing in person.

how are authorities responding tonight? >> reporter: well, when i went to those protests in beijing, those people were determined to make their voices heard. but at the same time china's giant censorship machine is in overdrive determined to make it as if those protests never happened, erasing videos on all chinese social media platforms. state media completely ignoring it all and publishing headlines reiterating that zero covid is scientific and effective. but the protesters in china know that this is the system they're up against. [ chanting ] >> reporter: they chant "xi jinping step down." an extraordinary show of defiance in china. in shanghai they chant for freedom, democracy, an end to covid lockdowns. even targeting the communist party and the supreme leader himself. unprecedented protests are erupting across china from major

metro metropoliss to elite college campuses. anger triggered by a deadly fire in china's xinjiang region. water unable to reach the building. covid restrictions prevented fire trucks from getting close enough, apparently blocked by fences and metal barriers normally used during lockdowns. in the building's chat group, a mother pleads, help us, my kids are dying, we don't have enough oxygen. at least ten people died. the nation grieving the deaths of victims that likely spent the last months of their lives trapped in that building. most of xinjiang has been locked down for more than a hundred days. the protests even spilling into

the capital. >> they are chanting that they don't want covid tests, they want freedom. and many people are also holding white papers in their hands, which is a sign of solidarity against censorship. >> reporter: they sing and cheer. shout to be unsealed. and some even break down into tears. a man with a loudspeaker shouts, we always support the communist party, but we want democracy and freedom. i asked a protester how he was feeling. overwhelmed, he said. all conscientious chinese people should come here and stand together. i said, you realize there's a risk being here. of course there is, he responded. and if we just turn the camera around, you will see there is a row of police. hours later, masses of police

filed in, pushing the protesters back. demonstrators shout towards the authorities, we are not your enemy, we are in this together. these are unbelievable scenes in china where public criticism of the party can lead to prison time or even worse. in shanghai, police arrested roughed-up protesters, violently dragging them into cars. no protests of this scale demanding political reforms have been seen since the tiananmen pro democracy protests in 1989 that led to a massacre of unarmed protesters. these demonstrators know what they're risking, but they're determined to make their voices heard. and, erin, there is now a heavy

security presence in places where there have been protests including here in beijing. last night i went back to that exact place where i was the day before there at the protests, and we filmed video when we drove by, you can see that it's eerily quiet with a giant row of police vans parked with their lights flashing. this is a stark reminder that this is a police state with far-reaching security, surveillance capabilities. it's also a country where social media like facebook and twitter are banned, the main messaging platform is monitored by authorities. it's not easy for protesters to communicate, mobilize, and continue to have their voices heard in china. but while the authorities can snuff out evidence of what's happened here, that anger, well, it's not going away. >> incredible. all right, thank you so much, selina wang, in beijing and was at the protests there this weekend. it is stunning showing that image of the day after just with all those lights on and completely blocking off. i want to go now to a senior

fellow for global health at the council on foreign relations and author of "toxic politics: china's environmental health crisis and its challenge to the chinese state." along with the president and founder of the eurasia group and the author of "the power of crisis." so, ian, it is really amazing seeing selina on the streets amidst protesters, even one of them willing to take that risk to speak out. and then seeing them so snuffed out the next day. but this is now across china. why is xi jinping willing to risk all this unrest and these protests and the economy all for zero covid? >> first of all, i think it comes as a surprise to him. a couple of weeks ago when he was in bali and doing bilateral meetings with other heads of state, he wasn't talking about zero covid, he wasn't expressing a lot of concern about it. i think that if he'd been honest, he wouldn't have thought

he was going to get these demonstrations spontaneously in cities across the country. but also he's backed into it because you do not have vaccines in adequate numbers that work for the population at large, and most of the oldest haven't had a vaccine in a couple of years now. the hospitals aren't capable of dealing with massive and unmitigated spread. so they're a bit backed into a corner by a policy that worked very well the first year they implemented it and abysmally poorly as we stand right now. the>> china's official news agency published an op-ed monday that echos something that selina just said is all over state media. and that is that the covid measures are, quote, scientific and effective. so from a public health standpoint, is zero covid right now necessary to control covid in china? if you buy that you want to control it, is zero covid the way they're doing it the right way to do it?

>> no, from a public health perspective, it's no longer justifiable. i think even the chinese, leading public health experts agree that the virus, it's now so -- its virulence has been much less severe than the original strain. and if you also look at real-world data from shanghai to guangzhou. >> we've now seen reports of 87,000 beds being readied for people who are going to have to be quarantined because cases are hitting record highs. i want to show again some of the video of these protests because it is so incredible to see this. we can see it. selina even filmed some of it herself. we can see it even though it's

being banned in china. what will the chinese government do? what will xi jinping do if the protests don't stop? >> certainly this is the exact opposite of the message that xi jinping wants domestically as well as around the world. the last time you and i talked about china on air, it was about hu jintao and how xi jinping was displaying such extraordinary capacity to basically stifle and emasculate the former president of the country. now he has suddenly these demonstrations, some of which are even calling for his ouster. there's no chance he's going to allow that to persist for weeks on end. i think there will be carrot and stick. i think there will be some local officials that will be removed from poor implementation of zero covid. there will probably be loosening in the way that zero covid is actually laid out and policed compared to what we've seen over

the past weeks and months. but there's also going to be a clear crackdown against further demonstrations, especially those that have an overt political message to them. i can't imagine that they would allow that to continue. >> some of those chants included words of freedom, democracy. some even mentioning xi jinping himself. others more specifically about covid itself. one question that i have and just can't get my head around is this. if xi jinping is capable of locking down a country of more than a billion people for three years essentially, why couldn't he just mandate the vaccine for everybody, especially the elderly population? >> well, i think a couple of reasons. first of all, he's not sure of the chinese vaccine is actually effective in terms of even preventing severe cases, not to mention that the vaccines are much less effective in terms of preventing infection.

so even though they have 90% of the population being vaccinated with two doses, much of that was done before march. so now most people have dropped to a level antibody-wise. and we know that the zero covid policy cannot tolerate any infections. so even the best of vaccines cannot guarantee 100% protection. so i think that is the reason he was not so sure, but it is a good idea to mandate the vaccine on the elderly. because it won't necessarily help achieve the zero covid objective. >> all right. thank you both very much, as the world continues to watch what's happening in china, unexpected and incredible to see what we have seen thus far. next, election deniers swarm

a meeting to certify the state of arizona's election results and their attacks, dangerous and concerning. >> interference in an election in the united states of america, mr. gaetz, is a capital offense. >> this is vote trafficking at its finest. plus, i'm going to speak exclusively to a russian woman who is bravely speaking out against putin's invasion. why she says more russians are turning against the war. and remarkable images tonight of the world's largest active volcano erupting in hawaii. flights already being canceled, shelters now being set up for people living nearby. plus the powerful cougugh relief you need. mind if i rootot through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderbeberry. research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really te you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan?

think you can keep up? (fisher investments) in this market, you'll find fisher investments is different than other money managers. (other money manager) different how? aren't we all just looking for the hottest stocks? (fisher investments) nope. we use diversified strategies to position our client's portfolios for their long-term goals. (other money manager) but you still sell investments that generate high commissions for you, right? (fisher investments) no, we don't sell commission products. we're a fiduciary, obligated to act in our client's best interest. (other money manager) so when do you make more money, only when your clients make more money? (fisher investments) yep. we do better when our clients do better.

at fisher investments, we're clearly different. tonight, traders, traffickers, criminals. these are just some of the insults that were hurled at arizona election officials today when they certified the results of november's election. they voted to certify the election that saw the defeat of prominent election deniers for both the governor and secretary of state roles. but at the hearing today, one conspiracy theorist after another confronted the board, which is chaired by a republican named bill gaetz. >> i came here today to get an up close and personal look at the seven traders to the united states constitution are sitting at that desk. interference in an election in the united states of america, mr. gaetz, is a capital offense,

it's considered treason punishable by the death penalty. >> the fact that we can gaslight the american people like we did with covid, like we did with gender fluidity, like we did with all sorts of things. >> this is vote trafficking at its finest. i've seen the criminal element. you are vote traffickers. you are vote traffickers. >> flagrant. >> criminal. >> so, "outfront" now, van jones, former special adviser to then president obama. and the editor in chief of "the dispatch" and an "l.a. times" columnist. just jotting down some of the things said here. capital offense punishable by the death penalty, traders, gaslighting. look, these people care so deeply about this and believe so deeply in what they're saying that they showed up at the certification to say these things to the board of maricopa county, chaired by a republican. what's your reaction to these voter who's say they're

republicans just like you are? [ laughter ] >> well, i don't call myself a republican anymore. i am a conservative. look, i have sympathy for these people. i think they've been lied to, to a certain extent. there's always been a paranoid style in american politics. i think it exists on both the left and the right. this is a classic example of the sort of populous paranoid style in american politics. these people have been misled by people like michael lindell. they follow people like kari lake, who encourages this garbage. things were not helped by the fact that the maricopa county election office did screw up with these printers on these ballots that just fed this untrue narrative. but that was a small mistake, it was rectified, no one was disenfranchised. and one of the things i take heart about is that this is only really happening now in arizona. the 2022 midterms put a really bad odor on a lot of the

election denial stuff. it's still running strong in arizona, but it seems to be confined to basically three small areas in a state rather than the entire country. so, to me, it's like nature's healing. >> i think everyone can hope you're right about that. obviously you mentioned mike lindell, who is now running to be head of the rnc, channelling for that. kari lake, who is the gop candidate who lost the governor's race, has been re-tweeting more videos of the people i just showed brief clips of at that hearing. she still has not conceded the race to katie hobbs. and she insisted she won and donald trump says she should be installed as the governor of arizona. how big of a cancer does this remain in the republican party? >> it looks like it's a shrinking tumor. but it's still a very deadly cancer. in other words, a few weeks ago we were afraid that this was going to be the dominant strain throughout the republican party.

we thought election deniers might win coast to coast. i think we should be very proud that sanity has won out in most places. and even a number of republicans who were election deniers did concede that. shouldn't be news. but we were in such bad shape that that was a news story, that people who lost said, i lost. i think after the midterms everybody was like whew and let's move on with thanksgiving. we still have a big problem here, which is that those people are serious and some of them seem to be quite threatening. and they are going to continue to spread the nonsense. i think we should do some things to take the gas out of the balloon. we should have faster election returns. i think both sides could agree on that. there are things we could do -- we've got one of the best systems in the world, but we could make it better. let's take some of the gas out of the balloon here, but this is still a big threat.

>> and fair point, i hope both sides can. because sometimes in saying if something is fair and accurate, it's therefore followed by, there is nothing to see here. so, jonah, we find out that president trump, the former president trump who of course is now running for re-election, had kanye west and a known white nationalist nick fuentes over for dinner at mar-a-lago last week. fuentes is a holocaust denier. he was at both the unite the right rally in charlottesville, virginia, and at the capitol on january 6th. i do want to play, though, what former vice president mike pence just said. >> president trump was wrong to give a white nationalist, an anti-semite, and a holocaust denier a seat at the table. i think he should apologize for

that and he should denounce those individuals and their hateful rhetoric, without qualification. >> look, he doesn't always step up. so he did step up this time. others who are stepping up are the usual suspects. mitt romney called it disgusting. that would be in line with the way mitt romney feels and speaks. john thune said it would be a bad idea on every level. but are we hearing enough of this? >> i am torn a little bit on this. on the one hand, i have been fighting with the sort of fever swamp anti-semites on the right my entire career. and trump and the election of trump broke down a lot of the dams that were built up to keep those people in the swamps. and so i liked seeing them denounced. at the same time, the gop is going through this process that was delayed because of all the election denial stuff from 2020 of trying to figure out how to fix its problems. and you couldn't admit that you had problems if you were going

to stick to this b.s. line that the election was stolen. and now they are starting to figure out that not fueling all of the attention on donald trump is one of the ways you can shrink donald trump's role in this. and they're sort of caught in a catch-22. they don't want to talk about him, they want to move on and ignore him. at the same time, you really got to denounce neo-nazis when the news requires it. and so they're sort of caught in a bind. there are no huge profiles encouraged here. but i also think there is a certain amount of gotcha in this game of make every denounce on our timetable rather than sort of ignore the guy. >> the thing is when we try to understand what's going to happen with the former president and his bid for re-election, and a lot of that's going to rest are the department of justice. when i'm looking at how people are responding, i shared mike pence and mitt romney. marco rubio also said, i know he's not an anti-semite, i can

tell you that for a fact that trump is not. but this guy is evil, that guy is just a nasty, disgusting person. so, already it's sounding there like, all right, i'm going to call out the guy at the table but i'm going to say that the guy who invited him and gave him a seat at the table, that guy's still okay. it still seemed a bit apologetic. >> yeah, i think rubio should do more, and obviously it's happening in his state. what you got to remember is if you can't denounce nazis, if you can't denounce nazis, who can you denounce? i mean, they have no problem denouncing transgender people, people who are 0.001% of the population. you have a growing neo-nazi movement in the united states and the west, and you can't denounce that, that is a very, very dangerous place for the right to be in the united states. there's always been a distinction between the clean right and the dirty right. the clean right, you disagree on

policy but they don't traffic hatred and violence. the dirty right is growing, and the clean right, and the cleanup crew -- >> thank you both very much. i appreciate it. next, the former president will not be campaigning in georgia before next week's runoff election even as early voting is in full swing. many republicans are breathing a sigh of relief. we'll show you why. plus, i'll speak to a woman, who in an incredible act of bravery is speaking out about putin's war. it's an "outfront" exclusisive. for a cleaner, heaealthier mout. listerine. fefeel the whoa!

bad. but what is really important that after the nine months that the war is going on, the attitude to the war is changing among the women whose sons and husbands and brothers are fighting. what we can work with is the anger. >> you're going to hear more from vika in a moment. her words come as ukrainian civilians continue fleeing the recently liberated city of kherson amid a brutal barrage of airstrikes. matthew chance is out front on the ground in ukraine tonight. >> reporter: the devastation russia's retreating forces left behind. a village in southern ukraine torn to shreds, and until now, abandoned to this war. he told me he's lived here 51 years. and after evacuating for eight months, he's home to stay. even amid this wreckage.

>> translator: it's like a stone weighing on my soul. we built everything here with our own hands. it's hard to look at what those russian scum did to us. >> reporter: a short distance away in newly liberated kherson, a pool of blood where russia is attacking the city it just left behind. four were killed when this grocery store was hit. now one desperate resident picks through the debris leaving scraps of food and toilet paper. is everything so bad, we asked. it's not good, he responds. all right. well, getting basic supplies, though, in kherson, has become a massive risk. we've come to the seaport, it's the river port right on the dnipro river with this woman here from kherson to collect water so she can wash her clothes and go to the toilet and

things like that. the water supplies have been completely cut off by the russians. this is the only way. you can hear the artillery shells go off in the background. this is the only way she can get water for her house. and it's dangerous because this is basically the front line. the russian forces have retreated to the other bank. so the russian forces are just across the river. but the risk is one that has to be taken. [ speaking non-english ] what can we do, tatiana asks. we can't live without water. >> reporter: there's no electricity either. and people are cramming into makeshift charging stations like this one just to stay connected. we found defiance here, too, in the face of hardship. there's no water or power, hannah tells me, but also no russians. so we will get through this.

>> reporter: what do you think? [ speaking non-english ] i think our enemies will all die soon, she says, who only just turned 9. we'll show them what you get for occupying ukraine, she says. for many, the hardships are already too much. roads out of kherson crammed with residents trying to leave. but for those who stay, it is a desperate struggle to survive. well, tonight, erin, there's still very little water, very little electricity in kherson, making it very difficult indeed for people to live there in any degree of comfort. that, of course, as russian artillery continues to pound residential areas of the city as well. ukrainian officials saying 258

artillery shells falling in the city in the past week alone. it's not just cold and dark there in kherson, but it's deadly as well. erin? >> matthew chance, thank you very much. and i want to share more of our exclusive conversation with vika, who's helped organization that public petition in russia demanding an end to the war. more than 24,000 russian women have signed it as of tonight. we asked them about what they think about putin's response, he said he shared their pain and offered them things like a new stove. here's what she said. >> translator: of course it is terrible and terrifying when not only these women have lost their loved ones but even they are unable very often to bury them because their bodies have been abandoned. and in exchange for that, they are getting some ridiculous presents like a cake or a set of

towels. i can see that their anger is accumulated. and lots of these people, they did not have an idea what real war is about. now they are coming to understand these problems. the war is about losses. >> "outfront" now, retired army lieutenant general mark hertling. you hear vika and 24,000 women signing this. do these russian mothers, sisters have false hope that by speaking out they are going to be able to sway putin? >> two things i will say in response to that, erin. first of all, it hasn't worked in the past. there have been petitions by wives and mothers in russia in the past, in the war in chechnya, in the war in syria when they have petitioned mr. putin to stop these illegal

conflicts that he is participating in. 24,000 signatures sounds like a lot, but it's miniscule attempting to sway the policy of the russian federation. vika seems very comfortable in paris, and the dichotomy between vika in paris saying she would prefer not to have her husband, her sons go to war versus the mothers, the wives that are in ukraine who are suffering under blackouts and constant shelling. is it that the russians don't want their children to go to war? or do they understand that this war is illegal and a blight on their republic? that's the thing that grips me, that tells me they truly don't understand what this war is attempting to do to the ukrainian people. >> and you know what is interesting is what she said that for many of these women, they don't necessarily understand, didn't understand what war was, and now for

whatever reason they're turning. it is, as she pointed out, in many cases, because of dissatisfaction with the economy in russia. and when you see what's happening on the front lines, i want to show you shh video, general that, i found today. and this is apparently from bakhmut, which is the fiercely contested city where russia had been making some gains. it shows the unspeakable conditions in this case the ukrainian soldiers are enduring in trenches. they're in these trenches, these world war i-looking trenches propped up on makeshift beds, deep pools of mud, crumpled tarps to block freezing rain and snow. soldiers without boots are taping up their feet. this is 2022. these are trenches that look like world war i. what are these soldiers going through? >> not only the physical

demands. it has to do with taking war back an entire century. it is living in a trench that looks, like you said, 1917 as opposed to 2022. it is the russian way to war. this was part of frozen conflict starting in 2014. those frenchs have been in existence for over eight years. they have been fighting on the front lines of the donbas, the area that you just showed in bakhmut for over eight years. it shows the resilience of the ukrainian forces. you not only have to fight the demands of artillery shells. but imagine the shells, the disease, the rats that are going through those trenches, the lice, the kinds of things that we only read about in the world war i period are now being exhibited. living in the mud like the picture that you're seeing there. but the soldiers of ukraine will do it because they're defending their sovereignty.

tonight, former president trump won't travel to georgia to campaign for herschel walker, ahead of next week's runoff election. trump will instead do a remote rally over the phone some time in the next week. well, that's pretty remote. it comes as republican operatives have expressed concern that a trump visit would hurt walker's chances to win against democratic senator raphael warnock. "outfront" now harry enten, our senior data reporter. so, harry, they come out, it's not a rally, remote rally over

the phone. okay. why are many republicans breathing a sigh of relief that trump will not go to georgia for walker? >> just look at the favor rating that donald trump has in the state of georgia. it's 40%. his unfavorable rating is well above 50%. compare that to someone like brian kemp, basically trump's chief rival because kemp dared to say that the 2020 election was legitimate, which obviously it was. brian kemp a far more popular republican in georgia. so, this is why republicans are expressing relief is because donald trump, simply put, is not a popular guy. you don't want to be tied to donald trump if you're a republican. >> now let's look at the numbers of where it was earlier this month because you needed 50.1 to not have a runoff. senator warnock did get more votes than walker, 38,000 more. that's a lot more than trump lost the state by. kemp beat his democratic

opponent by nearly 300,000 votes. okay, that's a gap. >> it is. >> so what does that mean? >> what does it mean, well, essentially what brian kemp was able to do was reach out to the center of the electorate, was able to win, barely, among independents. raphael warnock won independents easily in his senate bid. you go back to 2020. what happened? joe biden won independents rather easily. won by close to ten points. in the state of georgia, if you're a democrat, because there are more self-identified republicans than democrats, you need to win independents. if you're a republican and you're able to keep the loss to a minimum, you're able to in fact win in the state of georgia. that's what herschel walker wants. >> when you think of independence, you obviously don't think of trump. >> and i would think not, no. >> when you lay out the math, it would seem that this all makes sense. but is there any way that trump's absence could actually hurt walker? >> we were talking in the break,

the sort of catch-22 where you want persuasion, you want to win those independents, but at the same time you want to hold onto your base. runoffs are not just about persuasion, they're about turnout. what we saw in 2021 is we saw that the republican turnout as a percentage of that 2020 turnout had dropped more so in the republican districts than in the democratic districts. with trump staying on the sideline, will that in fact decrease republican enthusiasm? they want the persuasion, but they also want the turnout. >> hence the conundrum of the republican party. harry enten, thank you very much. next, a show returning to campus after four of their classmates were breakstabbed to death. are police closer to catching the killer? plus, ash and lava flowing out of a volcano in hawaii and the concern now, dangerous
