good morning, everyone, i'm bianna golodryga. >> and i'm jim sciutto. right now a warm welcome, a key moment in u.s./france relations. president biden and emmanuel macron now go behind closed

doors for a discussion on policy, they have a lot to talk about. a war in ukraine and the growing stand you've between the west and china. he and his wife arrived at the white house just in the last hour where they were greeted by the president and the first lady as well as the vice president and the second gentleman. a full state honor, a full red carpet for the french president from his american counterpart. >> and i should note, jim, your french pronunciation is excellent. >> i'm working on it. >> good job, my friend. and the two presidents embraced in a long handshake. yet again on the lawn ahead of the meeting today. while their personal relationship between biden and macron is gone, some patch work may be needed after you recall the u.s. australia submarine deal blindsided the french and cost them a mult billion dollars defense contract. we cover this from the white

house to the french capital. >> let's begin here with jeremy diamond on the south lawn of the white house. i wonder, jeremy, no major deliverables as they're called expected from this visit but sometimes just getting two leaders across table from each other key to building that relationship, what is the goal for both sides today? >> reporter: yeah, that is exactly right. there is so much for the two leaders to discuss and that is why this partnership has become as close as it is. there are a number of issues on which they've had to collaborate, top of the list of course is the war in ukraine. coordinating the west lockstep approach to supplying ukraine with weaponry and supporting them through financial and humanitarian aid and also to try to mitigate the spillover effects of that on the economy, the global economy and floridaly right now as we head into what is expected to be a very difficult winter in europe. to helping europe weather that storm. so that support for ukraine does not wane. so talking about ukraine is top of the agenda.

but i'm told this is a relationship forged through that cooperation. that was the august debacle over the sub p submarine as the pres french recalled his am bassador for explaining and why president biden talking about democracy, talking about the shared struggles together. listen to a little bit of the president's remarks. >> france and the united states are once again defending the democratic values and universal human rights which are the heart of both of our nations. the well spring of our strength is a shared commitment to liberty and justice for all. president macron, you heard me

speak before about the inflection point we stand at in history and how the choices we make today and in the years ahead will determine the course of our world for decades to come. and the united states could not ask for a better partner in this work than france. >> reporter: and president macron issuing a similar statement in his remarks talking about the fact that the u.s. and france are sisters in the fight for freedom and saying that the u.s. and france must now once again become brothers in arms as war has returned to european soil. and so, they will be discussing that issue. they're also expected to consult on strategy towards china. president biden recently met the chinese president xi jinping on the side lines of the g20 summit in bali. president macron is expected to go to china sometime early next year so they will be consulting on that. and there are also some

differences to iron out, particularly the french president has been talking about tax credits for electric vehicles here in the united states. that is a point of difference between them. so a lot of that and then again work on the personal relationship developing spending that time together to move that relationship forward. >> the two leaders pleat right now before that elaborate state dinner. the first of president biden's administration. jeremy, thank you. now let's turn to paris and cnn international correspondent melissa bell is there. so melissa, what in particular is the french focus here. obviously a lot of economic head winds facing the continent, including france and the war front and center there in ukraine. >> reporter: that is right, bianna. we heard the french president oko what joe biden had said in his speech, reminder of course that historic alliance, the fact also that so many of those values principles and around which they've united in support of ukraine are the foundation of

both republics at the alliance is that a lot of focus on that this should help them look ahead and get past the hurdles they both acknowledged exists because there was that point of gathering together to support ukraine. but then there are the consequences of the war. and they're being felt differently here in europe than they are in the united states. specifically energy prices. given how dependent europe was on russian supplies of natural gas, it is a huge hit. and these are issues that matter greatly at a national level. at a type when inflation is high, prices are rising and people are finding it difficult to meet those costs. electricity for european leaders, these are extremely sensitive issues. for the time being european countries have the stocks to get through the winter, even if we're all being told to be careful and winter is expected to be chillier than normal in terms of the amount people could spend on heating. still, beyond that, as that war drags on, europe could see it is

penalized in the way that the united states simply isn't. add to that the inflation reduction act that macron spoke about yesterday to congressional leaders saying that it was hugely problematic and in fact risked fragmenting the unity of the west on ukraine. so this will be at the heart of the discussions that right now are behind those closed doors. much less about the appliance a -- about the alliance and what europe hopes to see the movement on. >> one area of bipartisan agreement, protectionist policies and that includes europe. thank you very much. well legislation to avoid a potentially crippling nationwide railway shutdown is now in the hands of the senate. on wednesday the house passed a tentative contract deal between rail companies and workers. it is a provision that increases paid sick time for rail employees, that was also approved. >> just today, though, they're

not particularly happy without congressional action, a strike could become a reality as soon as december 9th. president biden has warned that would have huge economic consequences here. manu raju is dovering the latest from capitol hill. so you need a hundred senators, they have to agree to schedule the vote for today and then you have some division within the democratic party about how to proceed here. is this going to get across the finish line as it stands? >> reporter: it is still an open question. there is a push to get this all wrapped up today, but as you mentioned this is the united states senate. it requires what is called unanimous consent. all 100 senators need to agree to schedule a vote and that is critical of given there is little time between now and next week when the strike could almost certainly happen if there is no agreement here. now what chuck schumer, the majority leader has proposed, is to have a vote on the railway agreement that would implement what was agreed back to in

september between the railway workers an the industry that was silent on the issue of paid sick leave. but an amendment that would mandate a week of sick leave for those rail workers. but republicans also want their own amendment being offered too, to delay that december 9th deadline to avert a strike for about a month, try to force the negotiators to the table. but in order to get a vote on the underlying agreement and the two is a amendment, all have to agreed and today dick durbin indicated they're waiting for republicans to sign off on this deal. >> i talked to chuck schumer this morning and he's still waiting for a sign from senator mcconnell that he's ready for us to call this. it takes bipartisanship to get to the measure. it takes bipartisanship to pass it. so we can't do it without the help of republicans. the democrats stand ready to back the president. >> reporter: but the reason why there is not much time is not just the december 9th deadline but the impacts across the

economy could be felt as soon as this weekend if there is not an agreement sand a passage in thi senate. so they leave on thursday which is a lot of pressure to get this done today before they head home for the weekend, guys. >> and i know there are some republicans voices out there frustrated with the administration for what they say not stepping in and prolonging that cool off period, that cool off time, thus extending the negotiations and having both sides go back to the drawing board. but the provisions specifically to increase paid sick leave from one to seven days, that was added at the insistence of some members of the house. is there any support for that in the senate, and i'm just curious, they knew this was a sticking point for a while. why are we just hearing this publicly from progressives now? >> reporter: some of them are voicing this. and what is important to remember, they did add this in the house bill but it was passed in such a way that allows senate to ignore that additional six,

seven days of sick leave. they did that because they were concerned by adding that, it could actually scuttle the underlying agreement because republicans support is very limited on this issue. it is unlikely at the moment to get the 10 republicans necessary in order to meet that 60 vote threshold to pass that amendment to mandate seven days of sick leave. there is some republican support. josh hawley told me he will support this amendment. but getting to ten, a different question. so a lot of questions about whether they could get this done but certainly a push to finish it all today. >> the clock is ticking. manu raju, thank you. so more on all of the political developments,p let's bring in cnn commentator and also former obama administration official van jones. good to have you back. >> good morning. >> i want to begin with the big picture question as president biden meets with the french president today, there is a

change in discussion about biden there 2024 since the midterm elections. you see some of this in the polling. not a huge move. but now latest poll from marquette shows democrats about evenly split as to whether they want him to run again. but that is up five points from september. and as you've heard, you do have f fewer lawmakers expressing or hints at doubts about him running again. he is back to being the standard bearer for this party in 2024. >> he is. and think it just has to do with the track record of success when you look at stuff. people forget gun reform is important and fighting for the student loan battle, he's still trying to make that happen. the infrastructure, the chips akd, standing up to china, making sure that we have could have our own semiconductor industry work out. he's done a bunch of stuff. and in two years that some presidents don't do in eight. and then we didn't get killed in the midterms. it is hard to say well enough of that. get out of here, dude.

and so here we are. >> so it looks like on this rail strike, potentially happening, it looks like there is legislation to avoid that, period. going back to that initial deal that president biden helped broken back in september and perhaps now we know was prematurely touting after that deal. now the question becomes does he pay the price given that he's known as union joe and if the second bill, the second provision about extending sick leave for seven days doesn't go through, which it doesn't look like it will. >> biden is in a tough spot. he either has to crush the unions or crush christmas. that is his choice. and so i think at end of the day, he said, look, christmas is to important, we can't throw the u.s. economy in the toilet right here at the end. but, man, it is a heartbreaker. and the more you look at this, these workers, i think, have a case that would break the hearts of anybody.

the big rail industry has been making so much money, billions of dollars in profits and their executives get paid a ton and these men and women don't have a right to get sick. so i hope the republicans will look at that and follow josh hawley and stick up for the workers that are there for us. they should have the right to get sick. >> it is a notable point, to see not just josh hawley, but marco rubio talking about paid sick leave. i remember when paid sick leave had to be pushed out of the democratic agenda because there were not any democrats votes or let alone any republican interest in that. what does that tell us about the move for blue-collar workers among workers. it is a different republican party in the -- well some of that to be credited to donald trump. >> i mean you're starting to see a different mix now as the republicans try to fight for the

working voters. and working class voters, i mean these are working folks. but you could work your butt off and still not be able to pay for childcare and be able to help a sick or ailing relative. and so as you begin to try to pull those folks away from democratic party, those concerns you hear more and more on the republican side and now the democratic side. so there is going to be a different mix, i think, of bipartisan solutions when it comes to working families. >> on this, i don't want to be too pollyanna-ish. we saw protection of same-sex marriage and now we're hearing change bedfellows, josh hawley and bernie sanders on the same side. did you think that continues to other legislation that we're up against by the end of the year, perhaps even keeping the government open, small things like that? >> you got to hope so.

obviously it is the vast majority of democrats sticking up for unions and republicans are not. but you do look for those little points of common ground and common overlap. the equal act is up, a criminal justice measure that could find bipartisan overlap spot. so i hope that as we move forward, we've got to have a ton of problems for americans that could be solved. it is a good thing if both parties are fighting for a working class base, for every day lunch pail folks to get something good from their party then there could be more bipartisanship. because i don't care if you're poor and working hard in a receipt county or a blue city, you got the same basic problems that you're paycheck is not going far enough and that the help that you're getting from your government is not doing enough for you and so there could be some glimmers of home here. it just comes down to leadership. >> it is clear that is what

voters want, for their leaders to work together on these issues. van jones, thank you. >> thank you. another big political headline, just 48 hours left for georgia senate candidates to turn out the early vote. former president obama looking to give a boost to raphael warnock tonight. plus new concern for paul whelan, an american detailed in russia. what his family is now saying about reports that he was moved to a prison hospital and is now unable to call home. also ahead, a not quite royal welcome for prince william and princess kate at a celtics game last night in boston. as they make their first trip to the u.s. in years. and twice the choice. sirloin salisbury ststeak and all-natural salmon. perfect for lunch oror dinner. only at ihop. download the app and earn free food with every purchase.

tonight, georgia's democratic candidate for senate is getting a big boost with a campaign appearance from former president barack obama. it is latest in a string of high-profile rallies but herschel walker has held far few ear public events. tomorrow is the final day of early voting in georgia but already there has been a massive turnout. more than 1.1 million early votes. >> you saw something that doesn't happen in georgia. these split ticket voters. i think they could see the contrast and i think we're going to see the results of that next week. >> it is time we get this right in a way to get it right by putting me in the senate because i'm not going to dance and sing for nobody. >> cnn spoke to one of the split ticket voters that warnock references as well as someone standing by walker despite the scandals that have plagued his campaign. >> the interviews we've had, the type of stuff that herschel walker said, i'm of the opinion

he'll say anything to get elected. >> how he talks and the stories tells, and he just, he's off the cuff. he's not all serious about everything. everything is not a big deal to him, you know. is he the best candidate for the job? maybe not. is he the most qualified guy in the world? i don't know. maybe not. but does he have a great attitude? yes. >> joining us now is bill nyfrom political rewind. good to have you on this morning. >> thanks for having me, jim. >> so we're seeing massive early voter turnout given all of the back and forth, clearly georgia voters like the option of early voting. historically speaking that favors democrats, does it favor democrats in this race? >> yeah, absolutely. the early turnout all in georgia favors democrats because it is democrats who encourage people to turn out to vote early. and just to give you a sense of

how important early voting is to democrats and how important same-day voting is to republicans, we should point out that on that although warnock really moved far ahead of walker in the early voting in the general election, on election day itself, herschel walker got 220,000 more votes, 15 points higher than raphael warnock did. it was enough to throw this into a runoff. >> what we just heard in that piece, specifically the voter who is supporting walker, now he by no means represents every walker supporter, but to hear him say, is he the best candidate for the job? probably not. also knowing that the senate is not up for grabs with this runoff, how concerning should that be for republicans ahead of next tuesday? >> well, i do think there are many republicans who share that

voter sentiment who have decided they won't cast a ballot for walker because they don't think he's the most qualified. it is important to remember that on election day, herschel walker underperformed every republican on the state ballot. every other republican won their elections by significant margins. herschel walker underperformed brian kemp by more than 200,000 votes. >> well now he's got brian kemp on his side. and not just the man, but the machine. and i wonder what difference you think that could make for him in this runoff? >> brian kemp is the most popular republican in georgia today. and so his endorsement of walker is important. the question, though, is brian kemp is not on the ballot, obviously. he's already won re-election as governor.

so the question becomes, even though kemp has endorsed him, do voters have a compelling reason to turn out and vote for walker and that remains to be seen. >> how important will former president obama's visit there be for warnock? >> he -- you've seen this in many places. he energizes democrats in ways that no one else can. he is the superstar of the democratic party. he talks directly and straight and he will be here tonight, and he'll say the same thing that he's now saying in a commercial and in which he talks directly too camera and said, this is a crucial election, you've got to turn out and vote for raphael warnock. so i think it is extraordinary important to have him here. meanwhile, walker is getting visits from surrogates but people like nikki haley, mike

pompeo. he doesn't want donald trump coming in to campaign for him. so in terms of star power, warn ock as the win in that category. >> bill nugget, thank you. well still ahead, the mayor of kyiv said ukraine won't let putin steal christmas as ukrainians brace themselves for a bleak winter. . we'll speak to a professor in kyiv posting about life right now in the capital where some of his students as you see in the videos have had to study in bomb shelters due to electricity issues. maybe it's perfecting that s special place that you want to keep in the family..... ...or passing down the family business... ...or giving back k to the places that inspire you. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank, we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why?

everything they can to figure out the details as to where paul whelan is right now. as you said, the family has been told that he was transferred to a prison hospital but they don't have confirmation of that because they haven't talked to him since the alleged transfer has happened. and so that is why the family is concerned about the legitimacy of that, excuse me, jim. and the days that paul whelan has missed calling home include th thanksgiving and his father's birthday and that is abnormal because he normally talks to his family on a daily basis. listen to what david whelan said on cnn about his concerns just yesterday. >> he was able to call our parents on the 17th, on the 18th and so on until the 23rd and never mentioned that he had was moved or never mentioned having a health issue. so i think there is something else going on here and i think it is up to the russian government that shows that paul is where he's supposed to be in

the labor colony until he is freed. >> reporter: now this comes as brittney griner, her whereabouts is also a little bit unclear. the russians have told her legal team that she has been transferred to a penal colony but they haven't told that to u.s. officials. so u.s. officials are concerned about the lack of information that they are now receiving on both of these cases. guys. >> such slow progress. kylie atwood, thank you so much. another ukrainian city left in the cold and dark as winter approaches. a local official said kherson is without electricity with heavy russian shelling. >> the city has set up warming stations for people to get warm in the winter, charging station as well. mayor of kyiv said he will not

for academics which will open that everyone who is a student or a professor could come and just live. we bought sleeping bags and we have generators and independent electricity and heating stations and also we're helping to equip a center across the street so people who are not academics could also -- we'll be okay, but let me tell you, it is no fun. >> and it is pretty evident as we look at students there having to study and prepare for final exams in bomb shelters and have little electricity and have to worry about so much as students around the world do. and then on top of that, a war. to live through that. and i'm curious to get your response to we heard from this morning from sergey lavrov when asked about russia deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure which, as you know, is a war crime. this was his response. he didn't even pretend that wasn't there their intention. he said, we were bombing nazis

in stalin grad too. we heard this accusation of russia calling ukrainians nazis even leading up to the war. i'm curious how you respond to that and how your students feel about it? >> you know, i have a colleague and his sister is in occupied territory, and earlier this week russian troops came to the village and said they all will be deported to some camp in the middle of russia and they helped to pack their valuables and personal items and move. and who is nazis here. that is my response. >> and u.s. intelligence is catalogued the existence of the so-called filtration camps, you could call them concentration camp as well. you have a remarkable view of how people are managing to survive and stand up to this campaign of air strikes and missile strikes. i'm sure folks at home here in america would like to hear some

of those stories. how do people manage? >> well, people get together. and i think it is really in the morale. i have ups and downs and i'm attack sand i'm at home and electricity is not working and toilets and drinking water and then i get overwhelmed and i go to the university and people are come together and helping each other and sharing stuff. picking up each other, look who doesn't have cars, they bring them. they even have a little bit of firewood and things. humans have lived through much worse conditions for most of the history. so we could get through this. i think it is important to love each other. and if we are open to each other, i think we'll get through this. and i think this is what is different here in ukraine, because i also lived through the '90s when the soviet union collapsed. >> just finished high school at that time. and let me tell you, it was

tougher then because people were not as open and loving to each other. >> it is so heartwarming. i don't know how to describe it. to hear you say words that people just have to love each other. i'm curious how your students are doing. they don't have to look far to ask their parents or grandparents what they lived through and how they survived. how are your students doing right now? >> we just realized that perhaps us, our parents are the only generation who have lived in ukraine without a war or major issues with russia, something like that. but how are students? they need some sense of normalcy. and recently a student left a message on the white board in a shelter saying that i'm so happy, i'm here because it is -- the only thing that keeps my life together is this right un of classes and exams and of

hours and instructors teaching them and we have a system, when there is an aair -- an air attack and a missile, it takes seven minutes to get rello gated to the shelters and they continue to study. >> hard enough to do the scams in normal times, but to do it all that you and your students are going through. that is remarkable. well timothy, please send our best to your students. let them know we're watching and doing our best to cover this sto storey,. >> thank you. internet users in kline could be punished forp posts that are considered harmful or illegal. they are in response to recent protests against harsh covid restrictions. health officials do seem to be taking some steps to ease some of the covid rules include loosening testing requirements

of that release of the trailer for the harry and meghan netflix special. but i wonder, so given all of that, events back home, you had a little -- not the warmest welcome at an nba game. but also that. are they still enjoying the trip? what could you tell? what are you hearing. >> reporter: there are so many distractions and the latest one is a race rowe at ap reception being grilled about where she's fro from. she kept repeating she's from and she said she's from u.k. and they were asking what part of africa she was from. and the senior aide has step add side but the person at the center was back on bbc saying it felt like it was abuse and being interrogated. that is a very frustrating development back home in

buckingham palace and also here for the royals traveling. >> a member of the staff going back to queen elizabeth. thank you very much. well there will be history today at the world cup and it won't involve any of the players. when the first all female referee team will take the field for the first time ever in the men's tournament. rting) (clattering) (frustrated grunt) i need some sleep.p.

well the world cup today's match between germany and costa rica features a first all woman team of referees. french female referee making history as the first woman to referee a men's world cup match and joined by assists from the match group. >> amanda davis is live in doha with the assignment i'm most jealous about. tell us what the reaction there has been like to this historic refereeing team. >> reporter: you should come and join us. i'll tell you, seriously big weekend in store, isn't it. but this is a huge moment. i have to say, long, long over de for stephanie. but she's used to leading the

way as a female referee in the men's game. she was the first female referee to take charge of a top flight match in league and in france the first female referee to take charge of a men's uefa men's league encounter. i've spoken to her a couple of times over the years. she's very calm and very understated and as far as she's concerned, she will not want to be the one writing the headlines. she'll very much want the focus to be on the football. she's very aware of this moment and what it means for not only female referees in the future but for women in this region and that is the moment that she wants to be embraced. but she's had the backing of the costa rican boss lewis fernandez suarez, saying it is a positive step in a sexist sport. that is a conversation for another time.

but what a match she has to look after. it is four time champions germany up against costa rica, germany knowing they have to win if they want this world cup to continue to avoid the em bar asment they faced four years ago in 2018. that one of the later games, the games currently in progress, it is morocco who looks set to be going through to the last 16 for the first time since 1986. they're 2-1 up against canada and still goalless between croatia and belgium. so the belgium golden generation may be well heading tomorrow. >> amanda davis in doha, thank you so much. and thank you all for joining us today. i'm bianna golodryga, don't forget the big game on saturday. team usa. >> i will not forget. i'll be watching, i hope you will be as well. i'm jim sciutto.
