out the vote. warnock arguing the race is primarily about competence and character. >> who's more motivated? is it them or us? >> while walker enlists the help of brian kemp to make the case for his campaign. the former football star argues he would be a necessary check on president biden. democrats have more than doubled republican ad spending 55.1 million to 25.8 million as the parties square off for one final senate showdown of the 2022 mid-term election. >> so who all has voted already? oh. and who all's got to vote tomorrow? >> for la dady and everybody tell them to vote. >> reporter: herschel walker's final event in kenesaw, telling his supporters to get out and vote one more time.

cautioning them from getting too over confident just because the early vote numbers look good for democrats doesn't mean he doesn't have a path to victory, a real recognition this race is going to be incredibly close. eva mckend, cnn, atlanta. georgia's current lieutenant governor, a republican, has made it clear he does not support herschel walker. he tried to cast a ballot but he walked out because he couldn't back either candidate. >> we're trying to break this vicious cycle of addiction to donald trump as republicans. >> that's what you mean when you talk about healing. >> vicious cycle of addiction when they told us to swallow it, dealing with post-election fallout, conspiracy theories then herschel walker. it's time to break this vicious

cycle. time to heal up. time to go figure out who's the real healers. jeff, you need to be a team player. we need team leaders. we just got trounced when it should have been one of the biggest, easiest lay-ups we've made. we put the wrong candidates in place all over the country. i'm sure the folks in arizona wish they could have somebody other than blake masters and kari lake. we're going to wake up on wednesday and wish we had somebody other than herschel walker representing us. this is the final race of the 2022 mid-term season. cnn's special coverage begins at 4 p.m. eastern. >> it could take a while for the results. it is tight. >> they could trickle in. the fallout from donald trump's call to terminate the u.s. constitution. the former u.s. president posted disproven lies about the 2020

election online. >> the matter warranted doing away with all rules and regulations, even the founding document of the united states. his former vice president and running mate mike pence was quick to distance himself from the issue. >> i must tell you, i think everyone that serves in public office, everyone that aspires to serve shall make clear we will support and defend the constitution of the united states. >> many other republicans are dodging the issue not wanting to ruffle the former president's feathers. cnn's jessica dean has more from capitol hill. >> reporter: congressional republicans are responding and in some cases staying noticeably silent on former president donald trump's comments on terminating the constitution. mitch mcconnell promising to address those comments on tuesday during his regularly scheduled press conference. his number two in the senate

john thune saying he couldn't disagree more and mitt romney saying the same things. lisa murkowski, mike rounds speaking out forcefully. that's one side of the senate gop. others like senator roger marshall, he said he hadn't seen it. when i pressed back he said maybe they had been taken out of context, that we the media should be talking about something else. other senators like lindsey graham and ken scott refused to apes any questions about it at all. we did hear from former vice president mike pence who really said that this was not -- he did not support this, that of course you must support the constitution if you are going to run for and hold public office. one person that we have notably not heard from so far is house minority leader kevin mccarthy. he has stayed very silent on all of this. the there's a sweet from several

weeks ago in which he promised to read the entire constitution on the floor of the house when republicans take over during the next congress but that was before former president trump made these comments. nothing yet from mccarthy. jessica dean, cnn, capitol hill. later today a new york jury will resume deliberations in the trump tax fraud trial. prosecutors say it was a 15-year scheme to defraud authorities. >> on monday jurors september a note to the judge requesting clarl ri if i case on a conspiracy charge. the former president and his family are not on trial and the jury must set aside any biases for the trump's. fox chairman rupert mourdock is set to be deposed next week. it will happen by video conference. >> dominion said the network

defamed the company in 2020. some of the biggest stars at fox news have already been deposed in the catse. the fbi is investigating the case. there were targeted attacks on substations leaving thousands without power. while it's unclear, the sheriff is addressing rumors the attack was an attempt to thwart a local drag show. cnn's whitney wild reports. >> moore county, north carolina, will again plunge into darkness tonight, two days after the sheriff said someone opened fire on two power substations a few miles apart in carthage and. >> our medical calls have increased. we've had an increase in fire alarms. we've had an increase in traffic accidents. >> reporter: police are working to find the person or people responsible for what they say was an intentional criminal act.

so far they are releasing little information saying only the attack happened saturday night and a gate at one of the substations was removed. power went down at 7 p.m. the same time a drag show was set to take place in the area. police say so far they have found no evidence connecting the two. >> no motivation. nobody's -- no group has stepped up to acknowledge or accept that they are the twhauns have done it. >> reporter: this is what homeland security has warned about. the department of homeland security updated the national threat assessment bulletin november 30th sounding the alarm about the potential for attacks on critical infrastructure. the outages have left 40,000 homes and businesses without power and forcing hospitals to run off backup generators. power isn't likely to be restored until thursday.

electrical grid extremely attractive. something the department of homeland security has been watching. schools are closed tuesday and a curfew goes into effect overnight. whit fwhi wild, cnn, north carolina. it is going to be a cold day across much of the winter u.s. with winter weather alerts in parts of eight states i think it is now. that could be good news for water starved california. there and in parts of oregon and be know vaed da. we are dealing with the snow across the western part of the country and through the southeast up through the ohio valley and eventually up into new england. we have already picked up two feet of snow for parts of the sierras and into the rockies. man mouth mountain, 2 feet, 24

inches. the central rockies picking up 20 inches of snow just within the last 24 hours just as max and bianca mentioned. winter weather alerts. winter weather advisories in effect for parts of the sierras and the central rockies and northern rockies. an additional up to a foot possible in the higher elevations. here is the snowfall showing you the pink across the northern rockies and the central rockies indicating roughly another 12 to 18 inches. isolated higher amounts are possible. as the system tracks farther east, that moisture gets picked up alongside the boundary and pushes across the central plains and into the southeast rolling up into parts of the ohio valley. it stalls out and we wind up with flooding potential. that's what's happening. we've already picked up 2 to 4 inches across northern alabama and northern georgia just within the last 24 hours. again, this moisture gets pushed in and will continue on through the carolinas, up into new

england here in the upcoming days with the flash flood threat because the grounds are so dry. we wind up with picking up another 1, 2, possibly 3 inches of rain which is good. 95% of tennessee is under some sort of drought. isolated higher amounts up to 5 inches possible just within the next five days time. bianca, max. >> thank you very much, indeed. ahead on cnn, ip be doe nearby shans who have sex outside of marriage could be thrown in prison. we'll have the live report. and a website designer rrp is refusing to take same-sex clients on. the world cup. >> what an incredible. >> not my favorite match of yesterday. >> wait to see what is. >> we shall.

monday's world cup action it came down to a high stakes penalty shootout between croatia and japan. buy ang ka was amongst the croatia backers who were ecstatic when they won 3-1, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> with the goalkeeper blocking three out of japan's four penalty kicks. >> meanwhile, japan was understandably disappointed. they beat germany and spain. they had high expectations heading into the match. >> we were hoping we were going to win and go onto the round of

eight. honestly, it's sad. i'm sad. the play was great until the last penalty. >> and brazil fans showed why they're second to none at celebrating victories after their team routed south korea 4-1. >> the final matches will be played for the round of 16 is getting serious. group f champions morocco face off against spain and portugal take on switzerland. that will be isa soares's moment. >> it will. >> i'm joined by amanda davis. she's at the scene at doha. what are you excited about today, amanda? >> reporter: a match-up to what we saw yesterday, max and be bianca. if expectations were high around brazil before that match last night, they really are

absolutely through the roof. you expect they're poised ready to sew that sixth star on to those brazilian jerseys. they've gotten a star every time they've won the world cup. people talking about the prospect of number 6 very, very real. pele has sent a message from his hospital in brazil to the head of the match saying he was going to be watching on from hospital hoping to inspire the side to victory and that he certainly did. it definitely worked. it sounds cliche to say it, but at times their performance was the stuff pf poetry. and you really saw the togetherness, the team collective spirit, particularly with some of those goal celebrations even with 61-year-old coach getting involved. they said this is what our team spirit is like even if some of the other teams see it as being a little bit dismissive. perhaps not in keeping with

gamesmanship and sportsmanship that they want to see here at the tournament. it is bra zim preparing for that quarterfinal against croatia. croatia knocked down japan on penalties. it was brazil who emerged victorious when they met in 2014 at the world cup. you wonder what the likes of cristiano ronaldo and portugal will have thought and whether they'll be watching in the buildup to their last encounter against switzerland. so much of the buildup once again dominated by talk of ronaldo, his unhappiness being substituted off against south korea. all the speculation about a big money move to saudi arabia. there was a real sense of frustration from their coach in the press conference ahead of that one saying we are simply focused on this world cup. this is what it's about. and they need to be focused because they're up against a

swiss side who beat them in june in the nation's league. that, though, you suspect from a crowd perspective will be over shadowed by the big one as far as the region is concerned. that is morocco against spain. thousands, tens of thousands of moroccan fans have descended here on doha. they are the team being seen as the ones waiving the flag, flying the flag for the arab region at this world cup looking for a place in the quarterfinals against spain. saying this is the biggest match of their footballing history. >> quarterfinals coming up so quickly. am amanda, thank you so much. live pictures from hawaii where the mauna loa volcano continues to spew red hot lava. the national guard has been activated. >> the u.s. geological survey

blasphemy carries a possible five-year prison term. >> let's bring in anna koran in hong kong and how will this new outlawing of sex outside of marriage be monitored and what's the reaction from the public. >> reporter: really good question. we just don't know how this is going to be enacted or enforced. we know that the indonesian parliament, they're making sweeping changes to the criminal code which kcritics fear could have the third largest democracy, offenses that will be criminalized include sex outside of marriage as you mentioned. this law won't just apply to indonesian citizens but foreigners living in the country as well as tourists found guilty could face a year in prison. other offenses are the penal code, co-habitation and

blasphemy, criticizing the president, government or other state institutions. human rights groups are very, very concerned about the direction that indonesia is heading. they say it's because of this rise in ultra conservative islam in the nation's politics as it adopts what they say are sharia inspired laws. they will target tourism groups. they say these laws are troublesome and counter productive especially on the tourist island of bali which heavily relies on tourists for the economy. we don't know how this will be enforced but we hoeard from the justice minister. he said there will be intense outreach from police, prosecutors and advocates. it would certainly indicate they want to move ahead. this law, however, will not come into place until three years'

and raphael warnock and herschel walker spent monday making their final pitches to voters. thousands of people are still without power after an alleged gunfire attack on two electrical substations in rural north carolina. authorities say the attacks were intentional and targeted and the fbi has now joined the investigation. a website designer who does not want to work with same-sex couples has taken her case to the supreme court. the conservative justices seem sympathetic to her argument. cnn's jessica schneider has her story. >> reporter: the supreme court now poised to decide whether certain businesses can decide whether to work with same-sex couples on the basis of free speech. >> granting such a license would empower all businesses to offer what they believe expressive services from architects, photographers, consultants, to refuse service to their customers because of their disability, sexual orientation,

religion or race. >> reporter: lori smith says she's selective about websites she says she'll design brought the case. she's asking the supreme court to rule she does not have to comply with a state law against discriminating against same-sex couples. >> the state of colorado is forcing me to do this. >> reporter: the liberal leading justices concerned that if creators can choose their customers, discrimination could run rampant. justice sonia sotomayor asking about interracial or physically disabled couples being turned away. >> there is no line on race, there is no line on disability, ethnicity. none of the protected categories in a public accommodation law. >> the first amendment is broad

enough to cover the lesbian website designer and the catholic calligrapher. no one on any side of any debate has to be compelled to express a message that violates their core convictions. >> justice samuel alito took that argument even further. >> if there's a black santa at the other end of the mall and he doesn't want to have his picture taken with a child who's dressed up in a ku klux klan outfit, that black santa has to do that? >> smith is in the business of expressive speech. she argues she should be able to choose the messages she promotes, an argument some seem to side with. >> it's not who, it's what. >> always. >> why are you right about how you characterize website designers? why are they different from, say, restaurants? >> because they're creating

speech and those other examples speech is not at issue. >> the supreme court side stepped this years ago. on very narrow grounds that only applied to that case. >> our rights are not up for debate. >> reporter: now the stakes are much higher with concern building among lgbtq advocates that a ruling for the website designer could be a harbinger for other rulings. >> if there were to be a loophole of the kind discussed, people with disabilities, african americans, jews, muslims, others could find themselves without access to the marketplace. >> reporter: now there is currently no case before the supreme court that would eliminate the right to same-sex marriage, but still there is concern that conservative justices could be receptive to overturning that precedent. after all, it was just a few months ago that they overturned roe v. wade and in that opinion justice clarence thomas said

this court could overturn other precedents including the right to same-sex marriage. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. now ukraine be appears to be turning to a new tactic to counter russia's brutal war. moscow accuses ukrainian forces of launching three drone attacks inside russian territory. >> surveillance video captured the early morning explosion at one base in the city of engel 800 kilometers east of moscow. the port city is home to a strategic russian city bomber base. >> it claims it intercepted another drone at another field and satellite images show the damage. >> translator: as a result of the fall and explosion of drones at russian air fields, the whole skin of two aircrafts was slightly damaged. three russian service men were

fatally wounded. >> meanwhile, russia has la launched another barrage cutting off water and power. kyiv and odessa were amongst the worst were affected. ukraine's air force claims it intercepted more than 60 of the 70 russian missiles launched monday. >> translator: every russian missile shot down is concrete proof that terror can be defeated but we still cannot give complete security to our sky. there were several hits. unfortunately there are victims. >> let's bring in cnn's scott mcclain following the latest developments from here in london. scott, during the course of this it's very unusual we would see any form of attack on russian territory. what more do you know about the drone attacks? >> the kind of attack that has been getting more common, quite common over the past couple of months since the war began,

really, has been just inside the border of russia. case in point, we saw one this morning in the kirksk region. no casualties. that is what we would commonly seen. the ukrainians have not taken responsibility and said this is us for any kind of these attacks on russian soil, but even still, the two attacks that you outlined earlier, the drone attacks are ones that do not fit this kind of pattern. the reason they don't fit the pattern is they are located so far inside of russian territory. this is the kind of range that ukraine doesn't actually have, at least within its publicly stated arsenal of drones. a little bit of context, the u.s. has been the biggest supplier of arms to ukraine but one of the weapons that they have not given, they've been extremely hesitant to give to the ukrainians, are the long-range drones. two reasons. one reason, they don't want the

russians to steal the tech noloy but more importantly they don't want to target sites deep inside the russian territory. moscow will see this as an escalation of the actual war. it seems the ukrainians may have the technology to do this on their own now. at least this is what we're seeing from a ukrainian state-owned arms manufacturer. it posted on facebook a picture of a drone that it said that it was developing and wrote this in part. range, 1,000 kilometers. weight of the warhead, 75 kill low fwrgrams. we tell nothing to anyone, it is necessary. nothing has been successfully deployed on the battlefield and it is being successfully tested again and again. you may say it's not enough. that's why we plan to work 24/7. less than two weeks ago the

company posted another statement to facebook saying it's begun testing these drones on saturday. posted again saying it had completed the testing. no statement point blank saying, look, these drones are being used. one of the things quickly that an adviser to president zelenskyy tweeted a few hours after the drone strikes saying the earth is round. if something is launched into other country's air space, unknown air space. pretty cryptic. he's not officially taking responsibility for any of these drone strikes but he might as well have. >> scott mcclain, thank you so much. ahead on cnn, the u.s. and protesters respond to reports that iran is scrapping its morality police and reviewing its hijab rule. memorial service for the four university students killed in idaho. what friends had to say about their loved ones coming up.

vanished. months of iranian protests with the government abolishing morality police. u.s. says there's nothing to suggest iran is improving its treatment of women or ending the deadly crackdown. >> meanwhile, some iranian businesses were shut down on what's called student day. today's protesters had called for a strike against the current ruling government. >> cnn's selma abdelaziz joins us on this story. it's difficult to identify what's happening in the country. we've had conflicting reports. activists, at least, for their parts are saying they're very skeptical and that they don't believe these changes are happening. >> i think this is a consequence of the very opaque nature of covering iran. very little press freedoms.

international journalists aren't given access. you saw the headlines in the western media about morality police being abolished or shut down. activists have been quick to push back on that. you can understand why. the it gives you the illusion or sense that the iranian government or authorities are responding to the demands of people on the streets. they say, that is absolutely not what is happening. yet in some ways the morality police have not been patrolling the streets in the same way during the three months of demonstrations. that means other branches of iran's security asperatus, those even more brutal according to activists are the ones that are cracking down. member rights groups say hundreds have been killed, thousands have been arrested. we've had a cnn investigation that show reports of torture, sexual assault at the hands of authorities by some of those detained. really serious and brutal crackdowns. these protests continue, right? this movement continues. currently there are the

three-day strike. we're in day two of that strike. it culminates in day two. businesses across the country have been told to shut their doors in protests and shop keepers are willing to do this. i want you to take a listen to one on the street of tehran. >> reporter: this is a legitimate demand and they should be heard if society is divided and they attack each err o. not only will the situation not improve, but we will go backwards. >> so you can see despite the huge sacrifices, the huge consequences that the demonstrators are facing, they are continuing to come out strong. you have an iranian government that just doesn't know how to stem the tide. >> selma, thank you so much for joining us. still ahead, saying good-bye to the starve sitcoms and the silver screen. hollywood remembers actress kirstie alley. gold bonond. champion your skin.
