when i thought nothing would work for me. the first few weeks were really astonishing how quickly and how easily it came off, how much better i felt, what a change it made so fast. i feel like anything is possible after accomplishing what i've done with golo. hello, everyone. i'm alison camerota. >> i'm victor blackwell. we begin with an urgent warning to parents from the family of three people murdered in their california home after their teenager was apparently catfished by an online predator. police say austin lee edwards killed the teen girl's mother and grandparents and say he set

their home on fire after he posed as a 17-year-old online and developed a relationship with the 15-year-old. >> the investigation is ongoing, but we know this man was tired by a virginia sheriff's office after working as a state trooper there. he was caught after driving to the girl's home in california when a neighbor called in to report his license plate number. hours later he died in a shootout with police. today, family members pleaded with other parents to monitor their children's online activity. >> this horrific event started with an inappropriate, online romance between a predator and a child. please, parents, guardians, when you are talking to your children about the dangers of their online actions, please use us as a reference. tell our story to help your parenting. >> cnn's josh campbell is following the story for us. what do we know about the

15-year-old girl who survived? >> alison, we're told she didn't suffer physical harm in this horrific incident but she suffered significant emotional and mental trauma and remains in child protective services custody at this hour. police told us a short time ago they haven't done a full interview with her because she has been through so much and they're only able to sit down with her for short periods of time but trying to piece together how this incident transpired. we're told by authorities they believe the 28-year-old former virginia police officer engaged in this scheme called catfishing when someone is communicating with someone else online pretending to be another person. authorities tell us the former officer was trying to convey he was a 17-year-old, a teenager. he makes a drive from virginia here to southern california and friday is when tragedy strikes. police say a neighbor called 911 after she saw the 15-year-old minor being led to a vehicle in a suspicious manner and

authorities were able to locate the vehicle, engage in an altercation with the suspect. he was shot and killed. the 15-year-old not physically harmed. they're trying to piece together how the relationship began and the nature of the relationship. authorities spoke a short time ago. take a listen. >> we don't know yet if she was threatened, coerced, we're not describing it as a kidnapping at this point, but we also don't have any reason to believe that she was complicit in any of these murders or the fire as well. >> reporter: i was talking with detectives inside the riverside police department and they tell us it's the online trove of evidence they hope will help them answer so many questions. they're describing this as the digital crime scene. there was the physical crime scene where after this suspect fled, authorities later found the dead bodies of the 15-year-old's grandparents and her mother in the incident. that's the physical crime scene. they're trying to look at the digital evidence to determine how did this relationship begin

and also, they're trying to figure out whether this suspect had other potential targets out there, other potential victim. >> clearly a lot of work to do there. josh campbell, thank you, josh. so congress is one step closer to stopping a nationwide rail strike. in the last hour, the house approved a tentative agreement for rail unions averting the strike. >> one analysis forecast a strike would cost the u.s. a billion dollars in the first week alone. let's go now to cnn's chief congressional correspondent manu raju. we're going to begin with the breaking details. the house has just made some changes to this bill and add something provisions. tell us about them. >> reporter: that is paid sick leave. that is something that this agreement that was reached in september, tentative agreement, was silent on for railway workers but something folks, the unions have been demanding. a lot of democrats have been demanding. this bill was approved in two steps. the first step in the senate, 290-137 the vote in the house.

79 republicans voted for it, 8 democrats against it. that is just the rail agreement without that paid sick leave. then the house approved in the second step an amendment that would allow, require paid sick leave for those workers, the railway workers. here's the catch. it goes to the united states senate and the process they use essentially allows the senate to ignore the paid sick leave provision, allowing it to pass the tentative agreement absent the issues, those controversial issues, because it would almost certainly not have enough support to pass the united states senate. that's what we expect on the senate side. they still need to reach an agreement to schedule a vote. democratic leaders want to have a vote this week. they're concerned about the next week deadline that could cause a strike if they don't act soon enough, perhaps we could see impacts on the economy as soon as this weekend. they want something passed by thursday that requires an agreement by all 100 to set a vote. bernie sanders and others like senator john hickenlooper want an amendment that would require

paid sick leave for those workers but that amendment almost certainly will fail, meaning that bill that will ultimately pass will implement the tentative agreement, the bill joe biden has been calling for, but after a bumpy ride and both sides have raised concerns about the process, ultimately looks on foot of clear congress as soon as this week. >> okay. manu, tell us about the democrats' new leadership team. >> reporter: new generation of leaders after nancy pelosi announced she would no longer lead the caucus she has dominated for the past two decades. hakim jeffrey, the brooklyn democrat, someone a member of the democratic leadership, was elected by unanimously by his caucus to lead the democratic minority next year. he will be the first black leader of any caucus in congress ever in american history. hisser to you can pick. he will also be followed by katherine clark as the number 2. a new person to this position

replacing steny hoyer the current number two. the number three-peat aguilar of california who replaced jim clyburn the number three. now this all comes as the democrats prepare for their new chapter, not just a new generation, but new role in the minority. one thing that hakeem jeffries said to reports moments ago is that this will be a temporary majority for the republicans he contended, preparing to relinquish control temporarily, which shows you what the focus will be over the next two years. democrats believe they can get back into the house majority in 2024 and undoubtedly that will be goal number one of the new democratic leadership team just elected today. >> thank you. there were more than 25 reports of tornados in louisiana, alabama, mississippi last night. officials report at least two people were killed in alabama as the tornados packed winds as high as 110 miles per hour. >> ryan young is live in

mississippi where several people lost their homes. ryan, what are you seeing? >> reporter: yeah. the damage is pretty extensive. we found one of the tracks to the storm. look behind me, you can see what's left of the volunteer fire department. they set up their emergency operation just on the edge of where we're standing. that's because the path of the tornado came through this area. we're going to try to walk as fast as possible so you can see just the layout here. this was the fire department. the tornado sirens were going. it got blown off its actual perch and you can see it down there. but all the damage if you just look here to the left, is unbelievable. we talked to a woman who was inside one of these homes and she said she was terrified by the sounds. her family members, some of them crying. rescue operations had to happen in this area. you can see the massive cleanup here. power lines knocked down throughout this entire area. if you look at the middle of the trailer right there, the woman who was inside before leaving to go to her son's house says she

doesn't know if she's going to be able to rebuild. this is a property she's lived in for the last ten years. you can see the amount of damage that's left behind. take a listen to her talking about how terrifying last night was. what was that sound like last night? >> like a train coming through. i've always heard it and it was like that. we heard it coming. it was real scary. i hope i can afford a trailer to get back in. i mean, that's my choice, as old as i am, i don't think about building a house or nothing. i hope for a trailer. >> reporter: yeah. and when i tell you the debris around this area is just immense and you can look at this truck that was crushed by the weight of one of those large pine trees the truck still drives. i guess a chevy still moves. if you come back this direction you can see what neighbors are dealing with. they've been coming out to help their friends and have conversations about how terrifying last night was. we actually talked to the fire

administrator, they did have several rescues in the area. luckily no deaths here. we talked about, of course, the deaths in alabama, but this cleanup effort is still ongoing. look at these massive power lines that are down throughout this area. they're really trying to make sure people stay safe. this has been cut off and the power crews are working on the high tension lines, but as you think about this, the idea that late last night people were dealing with this, and terrified inside their homes with nowhere to go the storms popping over and over again, it's a night that a lot of people here say they won't forget. on top of all that, guys, the folks here, they offered us something to eat and drink today despite all that they lost. >> yeah. i worked down in the southeast region for so many years, the hospitality of these communities after they go through something like this, ryan young, they have a lot of work to do there. thank you so much for the reporting. after more than 1,000 interviews, the january 6th

sources tell cnn that house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection is scheduled to meet friday to discuss potential criminal referrals. >> after more than 1,000 interviews, chairman bennie thompson says the panel will sit down with the final witness today. katelyn polantz joins us now. is their work done? >> they're getting to the end. they're not totally done yet,

but this is, indeed, the final interview today with the wisconsin assembly speaker robin boss. that's what the committee chairman confirmed. on friday is going to be a very crucial meeting. the one that has been hotly debated, what the committee will do and emerge out of it, what is happening on friday is a subcommittee of the house select committee will meet and they will discuss options for criminal referrals. this is reporting that comes from annie grayer, jamie gangle and zach cohen on the hill for cnn. what those subcommittee members will be discussing at that meeting is how they could present evidence of possible crimes, including obstruction, perjury, witness tampering the sort of things that may have arisen during their investigation that justice department doesn't know about already and that they're going to want to let the justice department know in case there could be a prosecution that arises out of it. of course, some of these things may be symbolic in nature, specifically if the house committee recommends a criminal investigation or prosecution of

donald trump. that is something that the justice department already would be potentially weighing. but there are things that this committee may want the justice department to be looking at as they wipnd down, head into the sunset, the congress ends and the justice department investigation continues on. catelin, cnn was first to report this is your scoop that former trump white house adviser steven miller testified to a grand jury investigating the january 6th capitol riot. what do we know? >> stephen miller did testify to a grand jury in washington, a federal grand jury looking at the criminal case, potential criminal cases, around january 6th. this is the team of prosecutors that are going to be working with special counsel jack smith and mill are is the first person that we know of that would have gone before this grand jury after smith's appointment. it really shows us that investigators continue to pace

along trying to get witnesses, trying to get documents, trying to get testimony at a steady clip, along with smith coming in to the team as the leader of this investigation, potentially making charging decisions and miller is really a keep person around donald trump who could give insight into trump's thinking, his intent and everything he wanted to do and say, especially, on january 6th. he was the speechwriter working with trump preparing the speech on the ellipse that trump gave to all of his suppers who then went to the capitol and tried to stop congress from certifying the election. >> thank you. next hour, attorney general merrick garland will speak about the verdict in the trial of several members of the far right oath keepers militia group. yesterday a jury convicted the group's leader and an associate on charges of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the january 6th capitol riot. >> garland will also discuss the latest on efforts to get safe

drinking water in jackson, mississippi. cnn's evan perez is at the justice department for us. do we know what he plans to say? >> well, alison, this is a big day for the attorney general. he personally signed off on bringing these seditious conspiracy charges. there was a bit of a debate inside the building as to whether to do this. it's a rarely brought charge. the fact that prosecutors were able to pull that off yesterday with a jury is a big thing for the department going forward with other investigations, with other prosecutions, including proud boys, other members of the oath keepers. we will hear from the attorney general thanking the prosecution team on that. the other thing as you mentioned, the jackson, mississippi situation, the justice department, is going to appointment a third party to help manage the water system in that municipality, which is, obviously, been a huge problem in mississippi with people not having safe drinking water. that's something the justice department believes is a civil

rights issue for the african american community in that city. so those are two things that the attorney general has on his mind. we expect he's going to take questions and we're going to be sure to ask a bunch of them. >> okay. we'll take that live as well. thank you very much. several major cities in china are looking to lift some of the strict lockdown measures after days of demonstrations. so are the protests working? it sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. san francisco officials approve a controversial policy to let police use robots to kill suspects. we'll tell you more.

. american paul whelan has reportedly been novds a russian prison hospital and has not contacted hus family for a week. his brother david wheelen, says an e-mail from the penal colony where he was held claimed he had been moved to the hospital almost two weeks ago. wheelen's family says he had not been claiming of health conditions and his brother said paul called family members and the u.s. embassy daily but missed a scheduled call on thanksgiving. a state department spokesperson says the embassy is pressing for updates on his location and condition. secretary of state antony blinken today condemned russian president vladimir putin for targeting ukraine's power grid.

>> what we're seeing, to put it in one word, is barbaric, prees pre sisly because putin is not able to succeed on the battlefield he's taking the war to the civilians doing it in a deliberate way going after the entire energy and electric infrastructure to turn off the lights, turn off the water, to turn off the heat and that at a time when, of course, ukraine is heading into winter. >> blinken vowed that u.s. support for ukraine will not change, but some house republicans have said there will be more scrutiny over any additional funding proposals. once they take control in january. cnn political and national security analyst david sanger is with us now. good to see you, david. let's start with the conversation over funding and i want to begin with the incoming republican chair of house foreign affairs michael mccaul on sunday, on the future of funding the support for ukraine.

>> the fact is we are going to provide more oversight transparency and accountability. we're not going to write a blank check. does that diminish our will to help the ukraine people fight? no. we're going to do it in a responsible way. >> that's what we're hearing from mccall and heard something similar from mccarthy, but there are some republicans who say not enough dime, another penny for ukraine. what do you expect from the interparty fight on support for ukraine? >> good to see you, victor, thanks for having me on. this is a fascinating turn for the republican party because in the republican party that we knew in the cold war and post-cold war period, they would have been the first and most vociferous pushing back at vladimir putin and, in fact, during the obama administration, argued that obama wasn't doing enough after the takeover of crimea. but the party has now gone

through four years of donald trump's america first-ism, some led by future speaker mccarthy who basically take the view that we've spent enough and so the democrats suddenly are going to become the hawkish party on russia and the republicans i think are going to be split. does that mean that there's going to be greater scrutiny? i'm sure there is. a place like ukraine where there's been a lot of corruption historically, i'm sure there's need for a lot more oversight. i think the biden administration's fear is that those efforts will be translated as a lack of enthusiasm for backing the ukrainians in a moment that they're really making some inroads. >> the sausage making might be ugly but when we talk about what actually reaches ukraine, do you expect there will be a difference noticed there? >> there may be some, and it may

have less to do with arms, victor, than it does for our general support for their government, which -- that $5 billion a month and concern other western allies aren't contributing quite as much as the u.s. had expected that they would. i think that will be one category. i think the other big decisions actually belong to the biden administration about whether or not they're going to give longer range weaponry to the ukrainians. president biden has been very cautious about giving anything that could reach deep inside russia. but the fact of the matter is, that many of these attacks are standoff attacks from inside russia. >> let's turn to china now. and the protests. shanghai is lifting lockdowns in 11 districts. is this evidence that protests are working? >> well, it depends on what you think the protests are about.

they were, obviously, immediately prompted by the lockdown requirements, and i think that there are many in shanghai and other parts of the country who are eager to begin to lift them not only because of the protests but because it's bad for business and because other countries in their neighborhood, including japan and south korea, have really come to a strategy more like what we've seen in the united states and the west. but i think the second question is, how much of this protest is really about censorship? you're seeing a lot of videos that are leaking out of chinese citizens holding up blank pieces of paper, protests of government censorship, and i think you will see it again, victor, as the country tries to figure out how to celebrate the life of jiang zemin, the former chinese president, who died yesterday because he represented an era of

greater openness in china and certainly greater growth and you're already seeing chinese authorities scrub social media of praise of jiang zemin that they interpret as hidden criticism of the current president xi jinping. >> yeah. david sanger, always good to have your insight. thank you. so team usa is getting ready for their next big match against the netherlands following their huge win over iran, and they're not the only winners. usa women's soccer is cashing in on this victory too. we'll tell you how, next. before... & bath fitter. before.. & bath fitter. if you have a "before" bh, now's the time to call bath fitter to get aeautiful "after."

team usa is on to the world cup knockout round after an epic win over iran. christian pulisic put his body on the line while scoring the only goal in yesterday's match. the u.s. will play the netherlands on saturday as one of 16 teams left standing. >> the question is will team usa's biggest star be on the field after being injured during the goal? cnn's amanda davis has more. >> scores! >> reporter: in an all or nothing showdown between the united states and iran, christian pulisic secured team usa's victim with the lone goal of the match at the 38th minute mark. >> scores! >> reporter: but it cost him the rest of the game, suffering a pelvic injury after colliding with iran's goalie, only able to

watch the second half after being taken to the hospital as a precaution. so, who is christian pulisic? the man known to soccer fans around the world as captain america, who led team usa to the round of 16. pulisic made his usa team debut in 2016 at just 17 years old, becoming the youngest u.s. player to appear in a world cup qualifying match. however, pulisic and the u.s. men's team suffered heartbreak in 2018 after failing to secure a spot at the world cup. >> i was, obviously, so upset, so he emotional, but, you know, looking back on it, that motivated me that much more. >> reporter: now the 24-year-old is considered one of the most talented american soccer players of all time. he was born in hershey, pennsylvania, playing for the u.s. soccer development academy before moving overseas as a teenager. his first stop germany staring

for dortman and then to england in a blockbuster transfer to chelsea, a move that cost the premier league giant $17 million, making him the most expensive soccer player to date from the u.s. pulisic went on to win the champions league title with chelsea in 2021, the second u.s. soccer player to do so, but now, his world cup fate is up in the air. the u.s. national soccer team announcing, quote, christian pulisic has been diagnosed with a pelvic contusion and his status is day to day. but a pumped up pulisic has different thoughts. apparently posting from the hospital, so proud of my guys. i'll be ready for saturday. >> thanks to amanda davis for that report. our next guest is someone who knows a thing or two about the world cup, gold medalist and world cup champion brianna scurry. great to see you. i remember when you and i were

watching the women's victory after the 2019 world cup ticker tape parade and we were there and all of the excitement that day. so it's great to see you. how are you feeling today about the men's chances this weekend, particularly given christian pulisic's injury? >> oh. alison, great to see you both. so excited, thrilled, relieved, if i may. that last ten minutes yesterday was a nail-biter, right? so excited for the men. they have worked so very hard, and i think i'm going to put my money on pulisic being available. wild horses could not keep him away from this game. that guy has gone through the wringer and the team has done incredibly well with everything on the line. they've got it done and they have a great chance to do even more saturday against the netherlands. >> well, he's hopeful, you're hopeful, we're all hopeful he will be back against the

netherlands. let me talk about the money and what this means, not just, you know, let's get down to it, right, not just for the men, but also for the women's team. let's talk through this. the men's team is guaranteed $13 million for making it to the knockout round. now because of an equal pay agreement for this year, the men's and women's team will split that. that's $6.5 million for the women. let's count what the women earn for their world cup wins. $2 million in 2015. $4 million in 2019. which means the women's team will earn more by the men making it to the knockout round than they did by winning the world cup back to back on their own. i'm fascinated by those stats. what do you hear? >> oh, my gosh. they're fantastic, aren't they? that cba that was signed into law earlier this year you a product of 30 years of the women's team fighting against the federation for equity, for equal pay, and i want to say

thank you so much to all the parties, including the men's team, especially, for saying yes, we agree, we want to do this and we want to do the right thing. the women deserve equity and we want to help them get it. i also want to say thank you to my former teammate cindy cohad hen who is the current president of the u.s. soccer federation and all her success getting everybody on board with this. this indicates to me and everyone, should indicate how business the disparity is that fifa has made between their value of women's soccer and men's soccer and this is the only way equity could be achieved, if all parties agreed and they did. that's why we have this amazing winfall for the women's team now, thank you to the men. >> again, brianna, you must feel so gratified because this was many years in the making. i remember, we were talking about it in 2019 because that's when it reached, you know, basically a head that the discrepancy between what the men were getting for losing, what

the men made for the losing the women didn't make for winning. the fact that they're splitting it, do you think this can be a beacon for, you know, how it's done around the world? >> i think it definitely can be. i mean this is unprecedented. you know, you've got both parties, the men's federation association and the women's federation association, coming together and agreeing on something because fifa isn't willing to make equity and the two prize moneys for both men and women, so the players themselves got together and took care of it. i think within every federation around the world, especially ones that the women's team are bringing great visibility to the game, such as england and france, where -- and germany where the women's teams are doing incredibly well, those federations could get together like our federation did, and hash it out and make it more equal for both teams as both teams are representing their

countries as well as they can and do a great job at it. >> so u.s., netherlands. what's your prediction? >> so i tell you what, here's the interesting thing about the knockout phase, all bets are off. for anything and everything that has happened before, it is win or go home, period. it's so exciting and so unpredictable in that way. i'm going usa, 2, netherlands 1. >> okay. we shall see. brianna scurry, great to see you. thanks for joining us. >> great to see you, alison. thanks victor. take care. south dakota's governor signed an executive order banning state employees from using tiktok on government devices. we'll tell you why and the fallout, next. two hundred and fn dollars to charity. in fact, subaru is the largest corporate donor to t the aspca.. ...and the national parkrk foundation. and the largest automotive donor to meals on whwheels...

kristi noem signs an executive order that bans all state agencies, employees and contractors from using tiktok on government devices. nome says, quote, south dakota will have no part in the intelligence gathering operations of nations who hate us. the chinese communist party uses information that it gathers on tiktok to manipulate the american people. let's bring in john miller, chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst to talk about this and so much more. john, is tiktok a national security threat? >> well, it depends. it depends on the idea that tiktok is a legitimate company that operates in china, but the difference between china and a lot of places, particularly the united states is, you can't separate the company from the government. tiktok is gathering lots of information about americans. ip addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, names, that's what you give them, but then what you don't see in the background they're vacuuming up what computers are using, what do you like, what do you don't like, what are your choices, all of these things can be used by intelligence services when they target that to individuals in

powerful positions. >> individuals in powerful positions. but the casual urs like you and i, how is that a danger to us? >> that's an interesting question because, you know, chinese intelligence hackers manage to break into the u.s. government through a vpn connection years ago an steal records from the u.s. department of personnel including the records of everybody who had applied for or received a secret or top secret clearance. you have that on file. but those people, you know, that door has been relocked. another process has been started. but that's one generation. you're gathering meta data on a younger app like that to collect on the next generation. file that away and when you need to correlate, especially for john miller, very common name, is this the john miller i'm looking to target or one of the 500 other john millers on this list? all that data helps you match and target not just who is who, but what to use for dangle in a

phishing operation. >> do you let your family go on tiktok? >> well, we are victims of our children. after cleaning up our own online stuff our children are secret assassins posting all of our most sensitive information. but we talk about it and they know the score and i hope they listen. >> wow. that's really interesting, john. let's talk about the oath keepers. so today, five -- last night actually, five of the ring leaders were found guilty of various things from, you know, obstructing an official proceeding to seditious conspiracy to so what do you think this does for extremism in the u.s.? >> so this is a serious blow to these organizations, and you'll note that a lot of people were charged with the federal variation of criminal trespass because they entered the capitol, but the fbi and the

department of justice singled out the groups that were organized, the proud boys and oath keepers to say these were organized groups that were trying to overthrow the government. they need to face that extraordinarily serious charge. seditious conspiracy, nobody was convicted of that since 1995. i think it's only been attempted two or three times. those people are going to be facing serious time. that's going to have a real chilling effect in that right wing extremism area, and yet at the same time while that should be the chilling effect, we have, you know, donald trump, a presidential candidate and former president dining with an avowed white supremacist and anti-semite at mar-a-lago. so we'll have to see how wide that chilling effect is. >> i'm not sure the extremism has been stamped out yet. let's talk about what's happening in san francisco where basically the city council has allowed the police to deploy robots to shoot suspects, to use

lethal force basically on suspects. it's very controversial. in what scenario would this be used? >> so there's only one precedent for this existing in the united states, and that is in 2016 i think in dallas, a sniper from on top of a parking garage shot and killed by dallas police officers, wounded others and was cornered in a utility room where the police sent a robot in to confront him, basically layden with explosives, but it was a suspect who was dedicated to killing as many police officers as possible and they weren't going to put any more human targets in front of them. it was a very unique approach, but there are many uses for p robots in terms of reconnaissance and hostage situations. that was the first lethal use, but think of it in the suicide bomber context. think of it in a similar

context. i think san francisco is taking a step because there was very little legal guidance on how or when you could do that. >> yeah. i mean, i think of it in the uvalde context, but of course, there's also things that could go horribly wrong. john, always great to talk to you. thanks so much for being here. fascinating. the prince and princess of wales make an historic visit to the u.s. as buckingham palace faces a new controversy. details next. bye, bye cough. later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not cohing?! mucinex dm gives you 1hours of relief and any type of cough, day or nig. mucinex dm. it's comeback season.

the prince and princess of wales are in the u.s. william and kate arrived in boston today. they there for an award ceremony honoring climate change advocates. it is their first major international trip since the passing of william's grandmother, queen elizabeth. >> max foster is in boston. max, great to see you. so this is will and kate's first stateside visit since 2014. how significant is this trip? >> reporter: well, they've brought the rain with them. it's a very british scene here in boston. pretty busy. lots of umbrellas out. quite a few fans gathering. they seem to be much more interested in seeing kate this time rather than william. i have to say, loads of kate fans out there, and this is all about kicking off a buildup really to friday night which is the prize all about solutions to the climate crisis and accelerating them. it's been described as prince william's super bowl, the event he has been building up to all

year, and there will be three days' worth of visits actually because they'll start going to different events. as of this evening we can't tell you about all of them because of security concerns, but they'll be spending a few days here under their new titles, prince and princess of wales. they're aware of those titles which belonged to charles and diana, but they'll get their own. we'll get a sense here in america in the next couple of days. >> some of this visit is overshadowed by this controversy back at buckingham palace. a racial comment that was made and a resignation. tell us about it. >> reporter: well, it's pretty shocking really when you look at the detail of it. this was a guest at a buckingham palace reception. she was black, and she was there representing a domestic violence charity. she wasn't there because of her background of any kind. so when a royal aide went up to her and asked her where she was from and persisted and pretty

much interrogated her about where she was from, it was a pretty upsetting transcript when you see it, when it's written down, but part of it i'll read to you. i am born here and i am british she says, and this royal aide, the senior royal aide says, where did you come from? where did your people come from? when did you first come here? she keeps pointing out she's british. it's very uncomfortable and we got a pretty quick response from the palace when this was revi v -- revealed. they said this person has resigned and they were investigating. prince william has just landed here in boston and he also said there's no place for racism in society, and that this person was right to step down immediately. a big controversy blowing up in london and it's reflecting frankly on this visit on the first day. >> all right. max foster, thank you. top of the
