light on this chronic problem. a kind email. how did that get in there? it's important and heartbreaking and i'm part of the problem of those of us who are totally desensitized. you know, especially those of us who are pet lovers. if it were a dog or a cat on that vent, we'd never walk on by. and somehow it's become so easy to walk on by. that's why i give eric adams credit and i hope he is successful. another one. what else do we have? i'm unaffiliated voter for reasons you stated but the fact you are taking sinema's party change at face value is laughable. look, even if she is cynical and wants to survive primary season, i think it's a great thing. we need more i's. i can't wait say the i's have it. see you next week.

♪ good morning, everyone. it is saturday, december 10. i'm amara walker. >> good morning, amara. i'm boris sanchez. you are live in the cnn newsroom. we are grateful to have you. >> we begin with shock and grief in the sports world. prominent journalist grant wall, an ambassador for soccer, passed away while covering the world cup in qatar. >> we don't know the exact cause of his dearth. are witnesses say that he collapsed during yesterday's match between argentina and the netherlands. qatari officials say he fell inside the press area and immediately received medical treatment. >> just a few weeks ago he made headlines after being detained and briefly refused entry to a world cup match because he was wearing a rainbow t-shirt in support of lgbtq rights. we spoke with a sports editor for the nation who says wall wasn't content just being a

journalist. >> he didn't believe in the idea that you sort of stayed on the side of the room and, you know, wrote down everybody's point of view and were a stenographer for power, particularly in a structure lick soccer which is so dominated by fifa and dominated by corruption and secrecy. grant, despite his love of soccer, was never content to just love the beautiful game or be a violin player for the beautiful game. he was somebody who always wanted the game to be better and he wanted to root out corruption. >> grant wahl's wife is someone you may recognize. a former cnn contributor and infectious disease specialist and posted this on twitter writing, i am so thankful for the support of my husband, grant wahl's soccer family and so many friends who reached out tonight. i am in complete shock. let's take you to do that,

qatar. amanda dafrs joins us live. what more do we know about the circumstances surrounding grant wahl's death? >> reporter: that shock that you are talking about absolutely reverberating around the tournament here in doha. and really what is emerging is that we knew grant had said on his podcast during a number of interviews that when he arrived here in doha some three weeks ago he wasn't at the top of his health. he was struggling with a tightness of his chest and chest pains, got to the point he had gone to a medical center where he had received some antibiotics. he thought that we're going to be treating him for bronchitis and he felt a little bit better, but ultimately as we know, as has been reported, into extra time of the quarterfinal last night at the stadium between the

netherlands and argentina he collapsed. medical help treated him for 20 to 25 minutes. he was taken to hospital via an ambulance and it was there he was declared dead. the fifa president, gianni infantino and the director of communications, brian swanson, a former journalist who, himself, has known grant over the years, were at the hospital with another couple of members of the press community who grant had been sharing a house with here in doha. that was at about 4:00 this morning. fifa offering their support, as have their 2022 organizing committee as well. really, really the shockwaves being felt not only here in the football -- [ inaudible ]. >> all right. i think we lost amanda davis.

but really as he was a beloved figure and there has been so outpouring of support and grief for this man who everyone said was a preeminent soccer journalist, and someone who embraced many other causes and used his platform in that way. thank you. >> we'll definitely hear from those close to grant wahl as the day goes on. stay tuned for that. focusing on news out of the united states, a federal judge has refused a request by the department of justice to hold former president trump in contempt of court for failing to turn over classified documents. sources tell cnn after a 90-minute closed door hearing the judge urged members of trump's team and the doj to resolve the matter themselves. that decision comes as a special prosecutor weighs charges against donald trump. here with us to share his legal insights is former federal prosecutor shan wu. great to see you on a saturday. what do you make of this

decision, this request by the justice department to hold donald trump in contempt of court? is that a typical request, and what do you make of the judge's decision? >> there is nothing about any of that has been typical, boris. it was a sealed hearing, so we don't really have any public understand pg of exactly what kind of colloquies went on. here is what's unusual about it. this was a contempt request because trump and his team hadn't complied with a grand jury subpoena issued months ago. then, not only a grand jury subpoena, but a search warrant on top of that. you can infer from this that these two sides are at a great impasse and the justice department is in quite a predicament. they are, obviously, very concerned about safeguarding these very sensitive materials so one could understand that they don't know where to look because the trump team doesn't even have someone they'll designate as the custodian of

records. it really indicates that there is no custody of these records, no one knows where they are, and that's a tough situation. the department was asking the judge to try to do some work for them and the judge said, huh-uh, up to you folks to figure it out. >> what do you think the next moves will be from the doj? >> they could try to do additional search warrants. they probably would have probable cause in my estimate. i am not privy to what they know. but certainly a normal situation where you have probable cause to search somebody's one residence for things they may have stolen, you naturally look in other places, too. they could decide do we have enough to charge somebody right now and see if they might flip somebody once they charge them. but right now if they are really on a hunt to secure those documents, they don't know where to look. recently, they are having trump's own attorneys doing the search for them. a little bit unusual at this

stage of the game. apparently two more documents turned up at a gsa warehouse facility that trump had been using. so looking from the outside, it seems like they are at a difficult situation in terms of trying to locate and safeguard any remaining missing documents. >> yeah, like you said, not much of this is usual. on the january 6th committee front, tomorrow the panel's meeting to discuss criminal referrals which could include donald trump. cnn is reporting that a number of other officials could see referrals as well. former white house chief of staff mark meadows, john eastman, jeffrey clark, rudy giuliani also under conversation. how serious do you think the doj would take these referrals if they are made by the committee? >> i think they will take them very seriously. i mean, as a legal matter, the committee doesn't have any leverage on doj and sometimes doj looks at referrals from

members of congress with a slight grain of salt. but, obviously, this committee has done an enormous amount of substantive work. what i'm looking for is whether the committee's referral itself may give doj more of a roadmap in trying to shepherd their way through the enormous amount of evidence that the committee has put together and that could be quite value for the department bus, frankly, they were a little bit late to this dance. >> and, shan, one more question about something that happened overnight. the defeated arizona republican gubernatorial candidate kari lake filed a lawsuit in arizona superior court challenging the certification of the state's election as we all know kari lake is an unrepentant election denier. is there any merit you see to this lawsuit? >> i really doubt that. as with many of these sort of trump-enabling type people parroting his stolen from me

types, she was willing to say any outcome in one except she wins will be fraudulent. like many of these suits, i think this will go down to flames to a quick defeat. there doesn't seem to be any merit whatsoever. >> appreciate your perspectives. thank you. >> good to see you. interest rates are headed higher as the federal reserve keeps up its effort to tame inflation. the fed meets this coming week and it is the last meeting of the year. cnn chief business correspondent christine romans has a preview. >> reporter: a big week is in store for the u.s. economy. the final federal reserve board meeting of the career. they are expected to raise rates one more time. so far the fed has raised lts benchmark straits six times this year in its fight to control inflation, frustration a. it's number one for the fed and consumers. gas prices down 50 cents in the past month, 10 bucks less fill

up an suv for example and online prices actually fell in november. huge price cutting for black friday and cyber week sales. it is too early to declare victory over insflags. wholesale prices in november rose 4.7%. that's down from 8.1% in october. jerome powell indicated smaller interest rate creases may be on the horizon. they are committed to raising interest rates and keeping them there until inflation is under control. >> thank you. so a major winter storm is moving across the western united states and it's expected to bring heavy coastal rain and mountain snow to the pacific northwest and california. >> let's get a look at the forecast with cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. allison, it's not just the west coast that's going to be impacted. a big chunk of the country could see pieces of this storm? >> yeah, this system will eventually make its way all

across from coast to coast. even if you don't live in the west, per se, you are going end up having some impacts from this storm in the coming days. let's begin where the storm is right now. heavy rain settling in across areas of washington, including seattle, also areas of portland and then we are taking a look at northern california because really starting to see a lot of that inundation of the heavy rainfall, specifically around cress ebt city and the higher elevations, you have the snow coming down. some places it's coming down in three inches per hour which is going to lead to incredibly high amounts of snow totals once the number is said and done. you have all a these winter weather alerts not only in the western states but also some in the central u.s. because that's where the storm is headed in the coming days. it will shift down to the staff the latter half of the weekend and make its way across the u.s. crossing into the central portion, eventually to the midwest and into the northeast. in the short term, however, we

talked about the impressive snowfall amounts. most of these areas, the intermountain west, rockies, cascades, 6 to 12 inches of snow. but the sierras now you are talking 3 to 5 feet of snow in total before this system finally exits. it continues to make its way towards the central u.s. and by monday, tuesday looking at potential blizzard conditions in the northern plains and severe storms in the south. >> allison chinchar, thank you so much for the update. up next, as democratic senator leaves the party it is a critical week that lies ahead for congress. details on the sticking points that could lead to a partial government shutdown. plus, some cities are recommending masks again as flu, rsv and covid combine to push hospitals near capacity. plus, the coast of california is about to be home to some massive offshore wind farms. it could generate enough power

book an exam today. sign the respect for marriage act into law soon after it passed the house this week. it takes steps to protect same-sex marriage as well as interracial marriage. jason carroll sat down with a couple to discuss the importance of this step and a fight for equality that still lies ahead. >> reporter: now that respect for marriage act will become law of the land, marcia and her wife kristin say they have finally have cause to celebrate. >> hooray. >> tell you the truth, i never thought i would see gay marriage legalized in our lifetimes. >> yay! >> reporter: the two have been married for about two years, but

cadish earned a place in u.s. history for her previous marriage in 2004. >> i now pronounce that you are married. >> reporter: that's the year she wed tonia at cambridge city hall in massachusetts and in doing so the two became the first same-sex couple to be legally married in the united states. mcclauseski died in 2016 after battling cancer. do you recognize your place in history? being really the first. >> you guys remind me a lot. >> i don't think about it until it's brought up. i am proud of it. very. and i'm glad that i can speak out whenever about, you know, gay marriage and just being gay. >> reporter: it wasn't that long ago when speaking out about gay marriage was an unpopular idea. cadish remembers the mood of the country in 2004. >> my business where i worked, the faces i saw once i got

married. >> reporter: no surprise polling in 2004 showed most disapproved of gay marriage with just 40% supporting it. now 70% of americans are behind it. what kind of a road to get to where you are now? >> a long one. >> yeah. >> reporter: a road marked by numerous events over several decades. the stonewall riots in 1969 ledgy gay and trans people are color like marcia p johnson. the push for same sex civil unions in the '90s. people like edith windsor who in 2013 challenged the defense of marriage act which defined marriage as between a man and woman. as gay people cheered each milestone, some such as a wyoming congressman wasn't sure.

>> we have seen partisan divides and splits. if you are a republican you have to believe this. if you are a democrat you have to believe that. >> reporter: he has been married to his husband for four years. they have two children. he has been in office representing eastern cheyenne since 2005 and has defeated several anti-lbgtq losing streak bills in the state. >> i think marriage is a state right. in my perfect world, every state would take that step to codify same-sex marriage and it shouldn't have to be a federal issue. >> reporter: there is still concern among those who support gay rights after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade this past summer. they now worry gay marriage could be next. while the respect for marriage act legally protects same-sex marriage, gay americans, including younger ones such as leighton jordan, say there is a lot of work ahead. >> i definitely do not think the fight is over. there is so much more to be done to protect rights more broadly just beyond same-sex marriage.

>> reporter: marcia and christa say they know the fight is not over but they also know how far they have come. jason carroll, cnn, boston. all right. on capitol hill the deadline to avoid a government shutdown is just six days away. a key bill to fund the military is also on the negotiating table. the national defense authorization act accounts for $850 billion in funding, including aid to ukraine, nato and taiwan and house republicans got a provision included in their version to rescind the covid vaccine mandate for members of the military it is up for a vote in the senate this week. joining us bakari sellers and kristin davis son, a republican strategist. welcome to you both. let's start with the immediate, kristin, because we have seen this movie over and over every year, right on time. the last-minute scramble to pass bills and these stopgap

measures. what are the risks of a short-term extension this time around? >> it's frustrating for americans who elect leaders to go to washington to legislate and lead and not have that constant christmas surprise at the end of the year hoping to keep the government funded. the leadership comes from the top. it comes from president biden. we have seen a lack of leadership from the white house. so far in his term. and from democrats in the senate and in the house. i think that's why americans in this midterm election flipped the house, to give republicans p power, and the risk here is the leaders who are in charge don't actually deliver and get things done to keep this don stand anxiety of government funding and last-minute bills to try to keep the lights on. >> i am sure you agree with the lack of leadership comment from the top? >> no, that was the first time i heard anybody have a rosy

outlook on the way the republicans performed. this past november 8, everybody knows they were wholeheartedly rejected for the most part. i think we have to do this quickly. the reason we have to do this quickly is because you have a republican house majority coming in that many people are unsure and uneasy about the way that they will lead. we know that kevin mccarthy doesn't even have, you know, the full number of votes necessary to become speaker of the house and has a fraction of the -- of his own caucus that will prove to be difficult. so i think there is going to be a great deal of angst about getting this done as soon as you possibly can. and i don't disagree. many americans do have an -- they don't understand that inside the beltway politics that is the debt limit. they don't understand raising the debt ceiling and things of that sort. so it's incumbent on our leaders in washington, d.c., to get

these things done. >> i want to switch gears. bakari, talk about arizona senator kyrsten sinema is dropping the democratic party and registers as an independent. she wasn't have a democratic primary challenger in 2024 if she runs again. an analysis by cnn's sflakry wolf calls it a defection without a difference. should the democrats learn something from sinema leaving the party? >> no. absolutely nothing to learn from that. it is a defection without a difference. it's still 51-49 for those individuals concerned. kyrsten sinema did this for one reason. that's kyrsten sinema. everybody united states that ruben gallego was going to challenge her. she was going to have a great deal of difficulty winning. what do you do to avoid a democratic primary challenge? you turn independent so maybe you can make it straight to the general. the problem is that now that

gives somebody like kari lake an opportunity, a chance to swing through and maybe make it to the united states senate in the 2024 elections. we shall see how that shakes out. but kyrsten sinema, i want to be clear, did this for one reason only, for kyrsten sinema. >> got it. kristin, we were talking about this, the speakership bid by kevin mccarthy, and if you look at the big picture for the republicans, it seems like things are in disarray at least intraparty-wise, especially coming off the heels of walker's loss to warnock. now you have this battle of hard line conservatives and those pro-kevin mccarthy. can you talk big picture in terms of the finger-pointing and where republicans see the direction of the party going in? >> sure. i think we could say disarray republicans. let's be clear. kyrsten sinema didn't leave the

party. she was chased out. so the far progressive wing of the democratic party not only chased the senator into the bathroom over the build back better bill to, you know, strong arm her into supporting a progressive agenda. they were going to chase her out of the party. so i think when we talk about disarray, everyone likes to say the republicans are the only ones that have family dinner table arguments, but this is happening on both sides. the broader message is that extremes on both sides are not palatable for the american people. it's not good for the long-term health of either party. on the republican side, walker losing to warnock, let's look at the entire election. you had governor brian kemp have a dominating win over the democrat star stacey abrams. so when we want to say what does the herschel walker defeat maea for the future of the republican party, i rather say what does the brian kemp win mean. how does that grow our base and

governor kemp did better in the suburban counties between five and eight points versus the republican nominee for senate. so i think when you bring people together, it's you want to bring people into the tent, not kick them out like we saw in arizona. >> we have to go. but bakari, i saw you react took what kristin had to say. >> i think that's an amazing spin. kudos for that. herschel walker, dr. oz, you have blake masters, no one is going to say they were great candidates. democrats had an amazing showing. if republicans don't want to learn lessons from their senate candidates and the way they ran this cycle, so be it. as i say, we want romney, mcdaniel and donald trump in 2024. keep them as long as possible. >> was it candidate quality, the money? a lot of things to think about. thank you both. >> thanks. still ahead, powering america using floating wind turbines.

to pay the federal government more than $750 million for the right to build floating wind turbines off the coast of california. the white house auctioned off these rights this week in a major step towards the administration's goal of promoting renewable energy sources. >> we are joined by cnn's chief climate correspondent bill weir. great to see you this morning, bill. it sounds like there was quite a lot of interest in this auction

that i would think is a good sign. walk us through these developments. >> for context, when the biden administration announced these lease sales, there were 5,000 offshore wind turbines in europe and the united states had seven. we are barely out of the wright brothers garage if this country when it comes to offshore wind. there was a $4 billion plus sale earlier this year for new jersey and new york sites that will generate enough electricity for 1.5 million people. on the west coast it's sort of a bigger investment upfront because they are talking about floating turbines. so this is next generation. you don't have to mount to the sea floor, which is hugely expensive. there are other prototypes that may be able to capture wave energy at the same time as it captures wind energy. we are at the cusp of this. the international netwenergy ag, not a bunch of tree-hugging,

says it's going to explode. solar wind is so scheep, more will be put on line in the next five years than the next 15. >> fascinating and great news for the environment as well. i wanted to ask about this bipartisan group of senators sending a letter to the usda asking for help to mitigate the drought crisis for western farmers. the population out west continues to boom. it's not slowing down, and that's straining resources that have already been depleted. >> yeah, it's interesting. a study looked at the migration and a lot of folks are fleeing the hot, stifling persistent temperatures and moved to the wildfire zones in the west and hurricane alley in florida because i think especially for retirees, if you are thinking about sunshine and low taxes, moving to florida, not sort of once-in-a-lifetime events. until you touched that hot stove, you don't know how painful it's going to be. i was just down in florida this

week reporting on the fact that ian either drowned or crushed almost 2 billion honey bees. florida is the epicenter of the honey bee business, which pollinates crops around the country. and they are worried the drought in california could crash the almond crop, which would crash the bee keeping industry. so as these sort of climate crises collide, we are seeing null effects, new strains in different places in the economy. but those, hopefully, who are moving to these players that are more vulnerable are going in with eyes open and doing so fully preparing themselves it will financially, physically and mentally for the heightened risk. >> it's incredible how much climate change impacts so many factors in our lives and our livelihoods. so many cross sections there. bill weir, appreciate you for joining us. thank you. officials are putting out a warning this weekend that

going up. so is rsv. but the biggest issue that this country is seeing the number of flu cases. i want to give you another statistic to swallow here. 100,000 people out of 100,000 people, 26 hospitalizations are for flu. that is a very big number. actually the biggest number that the cdc has seen in more than the last decade. again, it's these three viruses that are circulating across the country really surging. only seven states in this country are not at a high or very high alert right now. and so that's why you are seeing some cities like new york city, seattle, saying, hey, listen, let's maybe take the masks back out, shugs an advisory, not a mandate, and saying if you are immunocomprised, if you are feeling sick, if you are 65 years and older, maybe put the mask back on, certainly indoors, certainly if you are in crowds to stop the spread of this virus. of course, we are entering the end of the year holiday season and then into the new year. >> there is also a shortage of

children's painkillers in stores across the country? >> yeah, this so important to so many parents out there. i don't know if you experienced this. i have. finding children's tylenol in certain areas, it's an issue. it's not widespread. but it's an issue if you are feeling it, it's a big issue, right? what we're hearing is that manufacturers are trying to boost up these products and get the supplies out to areas where the demand is major. that is happening. in addition to that, the fda is sort of stepping in, talking to pharmacists and saying, hey, here is different ways you can create antibiotics for kids if you are running out of certain things and also i think it's important to point out. go to cnn.com because our health team put together a number of tips if you are a parent who isn't able to find certain medications, there are ideas of what you can do to help your child in the immediate future. >> i am going to go there. i am so glad you talked about the shortage. i was in california two weeks ago, my kids were sick. sent my dad to get tylenol.

he went to a cvs, rite aid, target, couldn't find it. what's going on here? i sent my brother, who is in a different county, and he couldn't find any as well. i was like, what's going on? >> it's a very simple necessity when you are a mom. >> right. you need two or three in your medicine cabinet. you know how often the kids get sick. thank you so much. >> of course. so a measles outbreak in central ohio is growing this morning. so far, more than 60 children across several counties have become sick with many needing to be hospitalized. >> notably, none of the kids have been fully vaccinated. jacquelyn howard has more. >> reporter: we're learning that because of how widespread this outbreak is and how infectious measles is, it could take a few months before this outbreak gets under control. that's what lori tremmell freeman, the head of the national association of county

and city health officials told me. this outbreak is really being driven by a lack of vaccination. columbus public health officials have confirmed that as of friday, among 64 measles cases in this outbreak so far, 61 were unvaccinated. the remaining three were partially vaccinated. that means that they completed only one of the two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine needed to be fully vaccinated. also, 25 of the total cases have been hospitalized. all cases are in children with the majority, 70%, being in ages 1 to 5. now, columbus public health officials are urging parents to get their young kids vaccinated if they aren't already because this is just one example of what can happen when children are not up to date on their childhood immunizations, which gives a highly contagious virus like measles the opportunity to spread within a community. measles is so infectious that if

one infected person coughs or sneezes in a room, the virus can live for up to two hours in the air. even after that person leaves the room. back to you. >> that is a stark warning. thank you so much. one of the most storied rivalries in college football t but there is more to the match between army and navy. live to philadelphia for the kickoff next.
