good morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jim sciutto. a powerful storm crashing through the south overnight. reports of nearly 50 tornadoes across the region in just the last 48 hours. those devastating storms leaving destruction in its path in louisiana and other parts of the southeast. at least three people killed, thousands left without power. we're going to take you live to the scene as officials are working hard to assess the damage and help those affected. >> also new data this morning on the u.s. economy. consumer spending fell in november as inflation took its toll. u.s. retail sales declining by .6%. may not sound like a lot. it's important to put it in perspective. imt's the sharpest monthly decline we've seen all year. also this morning, we'll head to washington. the house advancing a short-term

stopgap to avoid a shutdown. that bill headed to the senate ahead of tomorrow's midnight deadline. we're live on capitol hill this morning. we do begin this hour in louisiana. cnn correspondent nick valencia on the ground. there's extensive damage you've been showing us throughout the morning, nick, where you are. what are you hearing from survivors, from folks who weathered this? >> reporter: good morning, erica. the damage in gretna, louisiana, is widespread as you mentioned. i spoke to the resident that lives inside this house, a couple down, denise kennedy. she says she was home with her disabled son. she still doesn't have any power, no running water. she's hoping authorities will come to restore that. these residents had very little time to prepare. while they knew there was a threat of severe weather, they didn't expect to take a direct hit. we've been talking about how rare this large outbreak of tornadoes, very ratere for this

time of year. they shrugged their shoulders, thinking they wouldn't get the severe weather that meteorologists were talking about. you can see the damage here, the tornado came through and ripped through here. the national weather service has yet to tell us how strong the tornado was. they'll have crews surveying the damage. i want you to listen to some of the residents i spoke to. some say it lasted 10 to 15 seconds, but still was able to cause all of this damage. >> the noise that it made, it was unreal. >> i was looking out the window at first, and i just got out of the window. i was panicking. i just started saying my prayers. >> i thought it was an explosion, and then my mamma told me to get down. >> reporter: heartwarming moment with that little boy who says he hopes santa can still find his home despite it being destroyed. you can see this roof almost entirely ripped off what we

believe is maybe a duplex or triplex here. this community, a lot of people out trying to check out the scene, seeing what's left of their homes. not lost on this community either is this happened right before christmas, and they'll have to pick up a lot of what was destroyed. we understand the governor here, louisiana governor john bel edwards is expected to host a press conference where he'll update residents on the state of the damage. >> you're always reminded of the power of those tornadoes when you see what it leaves in the wake. joining us, guy mcginnis, the president of saint bernard parish in new orleans, louisiana. good to have you on, sir. we know you've got a lot on your plate this morning. >> good morning, jim. our crews are out this morning. they were out all night actually, along with our sheriff's department and firefighters. we want to make sure our residents have a sense of normalcy as soon as possible. this tornado -- just a few months ago in march we had an

ef-3 come through and totally demolish 350 structures. this one came through, same path, a little more east. a couple of blocks over. we have about 50 or so structures affected, mostly roofs. we will have a few demolitions. all in all, no injuries. the realtime reporting from the local reporters was unbelievable. it saves lives. >> it does, because as you know all too well with tornadoes as opposed to a hurricane, there is so little warning. just to confirm with you, too, everyone is accounted for this morning? >> yes, ma'am, and thank you for asking about that. we are thinking about the three fatalities here in louisiana. but in our parish, we had no fatalities, no serious injuries, no one showing up at the hospital. we did have ten rescues last night, but that was people who were trapped in their homes because the roof either fell in

front of their door or people weren't ambulatory and being able to get out of their home. all in all, we're okay. we have the resources from our governor. we spoke with him last night. we'll be seeing him today. speaking with our congressman scalise and senator kennedy and cassidy. so we'll have the resources. during this holiday season our citizens are very resilient. they're helping each other right now. we're just trying to do our part to get their lives up and going. >> you know, it's a relief, first of all, to hear that people are safe. god knows these storms are powerful. we're showing some right now, homes just torn apart, lifted into the air, disappearing. how many folks and do you know at this point lost their homes, are going to need shelter for some time because of this? >> here in saint bernard parish, we don't have much of that

today. we may wind up having to demo some homes because of some structural damage. much different than the tornado that came on this side of the river back in march where we had 70 demolitions and homes destroyed during the storm, where we had to worry about housing. right now most people i believe are staying with relatives. we have about 1,100 customers out of power. we're blessed with cool weather. so people are able to stay in their home some. but as of right now, jim, we don't have people that are in need of housing. we'll find out more about that today. >> you just talked about the folks, too, also without power. we heard from our colleague nick valencia water obviously affected in some areas as well. when you look -- when you talk about the two tornadoes, the one in march and, of course, this one overnight, how concerned are

you? new orleans, you know a hurricane. how concerned are you about this potential increase in other types of severe weather, specifically tornadoes? >> you know, we're concerned and we're not educated on why this has all of a sudden become a tornado alley here in saint bernard parish. it's tough living here. we have the most exciting city in the world to our west and the most -- the tranquility of the sportsman's paradise to the east and we're right in the middle. it's a little tough to live here with the hurricanes and now tornadoes. we don't want to live anywhere else. >> most exciting city in the world, i think you're probably talking about new orleans. >> yes. >> our heart goes out to you and the people there. we know that a lot of the hardest work comes after the storm and the tornado. so we wish you the best of luck. >> we're going to get to work today. god bless. also this morning, some

economic news. new retail numbers -- retail sales numbers out moments ago show that consumer spending saw its sharpest drop of the year. economists had anticipated a smaller drop for last month. this is worse than they expected. it's interesting because we did see big sales numbers on black friday, cyber monday. but the big picture was a slowdown. >> cnn chief business correspondent christine romans joining us. what should we make the numbers? >> these are not adjusted for inflation. the big sales you saw, those ticket prices were less, so that could be feeding into this number as well as consumers being more cautious about what they're buying. that's the trend there. you see the decline on the far right. it's a reversal of what was a very strong october. retail sales were very strong in october. it looks like a deceleration heading into november. the weakest retail sales reading in about a year. we saw declining sales for

autos. also, those prices coming down a little bit. gasoline prices are down. there might be an inflation factor in here as inflation is cooling a little bit. it might be that consumers are being very, very judgmental about what they're buying. they're making different judgments here and spending on necessities and not necessary things they don't need right away. i want to give you a quick look at the job masht. we have the latest reading on jobless claims, first-time unemployment claims. those are the lowest in 11 weeks, they fell 20,000 to 211,000. that trend is still intact. a tight labor market. still have a job market that is pretty strong. we're seeing the signs and we'll watch to see if there's a trend dropping, signs that the consumer might be starting to back off a little bit. >> christine, quickly, isn't this what the fed wants? they're raising rates so it does cool off the economy. by the way, you raise rates, credit card rates go up and it makes it harder to spend money. is this intentional to some

degree? >> the fed is trying to engineer a slowdown and then a soft landing for an economy that has been running too hot as it's come out of covid. this also could be the higher borrowing costs starting to catch up with consumers. as i said, they're making judgments a little different today than last month or certainly last year. we'll watch these numbers and see what they say to us. the auto sales number i thought was interesting in there. we've seen auto sales coming down a little bit, prices coming down. prices may be coming down, wait, those rates to buy a car are a little higher right now, i'm going to back off a bit. >> also if they're starting to drop, you might wait to see if it will go lower. christine, thank you. >> you're welcome. a stop-gap bill to avert a government shutdown heads to the senate after passing the house overnight. that measure would extend government funding through december 23rd which gives negotiators more time to authorizes a broader full-year funding deal. >> cnn's lauren fox is up on

capitol hill. they're getting this extra time. does that mean they'll get a longer-term deal. >> reporter: that is the expectation and hope. yesterday john thune, the republican whip in the senate told my colleague manu raju that he does not know yet if the republican votes are going to be there, in part because they have not seen any details on this framework agreement that negotiators announced on tuesday night. that's significant, right? they need to get at least ten republican votes. it looks like they're going to need more than that because you have bernie sanders, an independent who caucuses with democrats, saying he would not support the package. therefore, republicans are going to have to get behind it. there are some incentives for republicans despite the fact that many of them are arguing they don't like how the bill was put together, don't like how rushed this process has been, there are projects for people's districts, projects for people's states in this piece of legislation and there is something to really sweeten the deal for individual lawmakers.

that always makes a huge difference. i also want to point out that in the house of representatives, nancy pelosi has just two democratic votes that she can lose. that is significant. they're going to have to get some republicans. as we talked about extensively, kevin mccarthy, the top republican in the house, is opposed to this larger spending package. he wants to create some kind of scenario where lawmakers in the republican party would have more power to negotiate this next year and punt this process. that could lead to a major potential shutdown if you had republicans in the house and democrats in the senate oppose. a lot of lawmakers dealing with this want this to be handled next week, and the expectation right now is it will be. again, there are going to be some hiccups along the way. >> all right. so we'll buckle up. lauren, appreciate it. thank you. happening this morning, a closed-door briefing on ukraine with house lawmakers and key

biden administration cabinet members. in that room, the secretaries of state, defense, director of national intelligence and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. the likely focus, the ground war in ukraine and how vital the continued support is for that ukrainian fight. >> as you'll remember, we reported yesterday the u.s. is preparing to send the patriot missile system to ukraine, something the kremlin says will now make a target for russian forces, though ukrainian forces certainly welcoming then. cnn national security correspondent kylie atwood joins us now. this briefing, is there a moment here that's of particular importance in the war, or is this a regular briefing? >> reporter: listen, i think the fact the administration is preparing, as you said, jim, to send those patriot missiles is the key factor here. obviously these senior administration officials will provide sort of a status update for these lawmakers in terms of what's going on on the ground. we're nearing one year of this

war. so they'll be able to tell them what they're seeing, how the ukr ukrainians are doing on the battlefield. this is an opportunity for the biden administration to explain to these lawmakers what their strategy is going ahead with this war. you will have house lawmakers in that room who have been very blunt in saying they are not for any more support to ukraine. meanwhile, you have the majority of those lawmakers who are on the side of the biden administration saying we need continued support. i think what those lawmakers want to hear is how the administration plans to continue that support next year and what their goal is, what they think the ukrainians can realistically accomplish. all this comes on the heels of those plans to send those patriot missiles. those are extremely advanced missile defense systems that the united states is preparing to send to ukraine. the ukrainians have been asking the biden administration for these for months if not years

now. this is a very significant development that the biden administration feels at this moment in time it is appropriate to send those over. i also think it's important to note that this comes as mccarthy is going to probably be in that room. we don't know exactly who is attending. he's trying to gin up enough support in his caucus to be the next speaker. it will be interesting if we hear anything out of that briefing to see what the back and forth is like between him and these democrats who are the biden administration leading the ukraine war and the biden administration strategy to it. >> kylie, thank you. just as you were speaking, we did hear briefly from congressman mike quigley coming out of the briefing saying the patriot missile system was, in fact, part of the discussion. we'll keep everybody updated as we learn more. appreciate it. thank you. new this morning, cnn learned first lady jill biden is on board with her husband

running for a second term. she initially had skepticism. we'll talk more. explosive new allegations from harry and meghan in the final installment of their docu-series. the real danger meghan felt the tabloids put her family in. >> you are making me scared, right? that night to be up and down in the middle of the night, looking down the hallway, are we safe? are the doors locked? that's real. are my babies safe? >> also ahead, disturbing revelations in a court hearing for the man who attacked paul pelosi with a hammer including others he planned to target. seen it. trust me, after 15 walalks it gets a little old. i rereally should be retired by now. wish i'd invesested when i had the chance...

new this morning, cnn learned joe biden is now in favor of president biden taking on a second term, and that's a major shift from the first

lady's position just three months earlier. this as biden's chief of staff says he expects the decision to make a decision shortly after the holiday. cnn white house correspondent kate bennett joins us with more. this is quite a shift. your new reporting is that jill biden is all in for another term. my understanding, like yours, previously had been that it wasn't just tepid resistance, it was fairly strong resistance. what's changed? >> i think she was always in. you don't go into the white house thinking we'll do this for four years. you go in saying we'll do it for eight. she's taken the temperature now of the whole thing. i think things like the midterms, slight uptick in the economy, even things like brittney griner being released, these are all wins for the president. i think she can see it more holistically that running in 2024 isn't as much of a

potential -- sort of a war zone, to kind of avoid these things that can come up. hunter biden investigations. >> hasn't even started. >> hasn't even started. hunter biden, the broader family, the president's age which is always top of mind for her. >> that hasn't changed though, has it? >> it hasn't. i think in a legacy sense. lots of first ladies think in the legacy sense more than the president mired in the day to day. she does not want to have every sentence of his legacy lead with "the oldest president in the white house" or "the octogenarian in the white house." she's very cognizant of that. these wins, the apparatus moving forward, donors, et cetera, hearing things has really gotten her more concrete. >> is part of this that she recognizes that joe biden himself is all in? >> absolutely. i think the president has not --

they're both bound by restrictions about announcing, but the intention part has always been much stronger on his side than it has with her. i will say the east wing has pushed back saying she was always all in, she was always for it. i do think people i spoke to the last few months have been consequential in that you've got to run, you've got to get all in and get on board mentally, physically and all the rest. she's in. >> here we go. kate bennett, thanks so much. >> thank you. this morning communities at the southern border of the u.s., many of them overwhelmed. the number of migrants crossing only expected to rise when a trump-era border policy known as title 42, really a pandemic-era policy expires next week. >> el paso feeling the brunt of the crisis. shelters taking in as many as 125 migrants a night. fema is sending el paso $6 million to address the surge.

cnn correspondent m.j. lee joining us now. the administration really feeling the pressure increase now from both sides of the aisle as it prepares for title 42 to end. is there more of a plan this morning, m.j.? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. there's been so much talk this week about title 42. quickly for viewers who might not be aware, this is a policy, as you said, started in the trump administration that essentially allows authorities to quickly expel migrants from the u.s. border. it was designed initially to try to stop the spread of covid-19. it is set to expire in the middle of next week. what this means for the biden administration is that they are now expecting and clearly already seeing a surge of migrants coming to the u.s. border to try to get across the border, and according to one projection, the southern u.s. border crossings, they're projected to double after this policy goes away essentially.

you know, we have seen some of these scenes coming out of a place like el paso, texas. i know our colleagues have been doing a ton of reporting on the ground. it has been really concerning to see clearly that resources are very much under strain. there's a lot of pressure for folks trying to get a handle on this situation. and to that end, dhs is trying to prepare for this influx of migrants coming across the border. they are talking about things like temporary facilities and upping resources for different kinds of transportation for these migrants, and also increasing referrals for prosecution for repeat border crossers. again, guys, these images we have been seeing at various border points across the country, it has prompted lawmakers to reach out to the administration and express their concern, just asking questions about whether the u.s. is really ready, be the administration has taken enough action. then, of course, there's the

political conversation as well. republicans are eager to go after democrats as a specific problem for the democratic party. so this is going to be a very big conversation for the country, and particularly we'll be keeping a close eye as this expires next week. >> m.j. lee, thanks so much. still ahead, new episodes released, the final three episodes of the harry and meghan docu-series, and some serious allegations, sibling jealousy, planted stories, confrontations and the impact it has all had on their health they say. rum silver supports cognitive health in older adults. it's one more step towards taking charge e of your health. so every day, you can say... ♪ youuu did it! ♪ with centrum silver. get refunds.com powered by innovation refunds can help your business get a payroll tax refund, even if you got ppp and it only takes eight minutes to quafy. i went on their weite, uploaded everything,

the last three episodes of the highly anticipated final three episodes of the netflix docu-series "harry and meghan" released early this morning. the duke and duchess of ses sex giving us a glimpse of the drama. >> the issue is when someone who is marrying in who should be a supporting act is then stealing the lime like or doing the job better than the person who is born to do this. that upsets people. it shifts the balance because

you've been led to believe that the only way that your charities can succeed, the only way your reputation can be grown or improved is if you're on the front page of those newspapers. the media are the ones who choose who to put on the front page. >> joining us live from london cnn reporter anna stewart. anna, another headline here are tensions between william and harry, particularly this moment when harry decided to give up his royal duties. what did we learn? >> the fact that there were tensions between the two is certainly nothing new. what harry and meghan do throughout this is paint a picture of what they saw behind the scenes, their memories of it. there was one moment which was a discussion between prince harry, his grandmother, his father, his brother about what their role would be following that. this is what harry recollects. >> it was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me

and my father say things that simply weren't true, and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in. >> his grandmother he says was ultimately looking at her responsibility to the institution of the royal family there. there was also, as we saw with the trailer, allegations that royal households and teams would brief, leak, plant stories, negative stories about harry and meghan to the press in order to prevent other members of the royal family from making headlines. those are allegation, of course, the palace not commenting. this line about meghan and her mental health and the toll it took. we know meghan felt suicide at at times. she also said she sought help from outside. she was told no, she couldn't have it. there was a concern about how that would look. at the end of six hours of this, you are left feeling incredibly sad and particularly sorry i think for meghan and harry at parts, but also very sad because you watched a family, albeit the

royal family, really disintegrate. you're watching it happen live, not just in history, but watching by virtue of that series, it continue. >> anna stewart, appreciate it. thank you. also joining us, cnn royal historian kate williams with more perspective on this. it is the first three episodes versus the second three, kate. definitely different. we kind of knew that was coming. to anna's point, it is this sort of tick tock of how these relationships disintegrated and what harry and meghan saw as the priorities, and those priorities were making sure that they were perhaps not top of mind, that they were not in the most flattering light in the british press because they had attracted so much attention in the early days. >> yes, erica. harry essentially says there was so much attention to meghan, she was so loved, so admired, she

was getting all this attention in the press and other members of the royal family, there was jea jealousy, it upset the apple cart, upset the power dynamic. after this, the negative stories began being briefed against meghan. it really is a story, a very swift story of a woman who marries into the royal family, the first woman of color to marry into the royal family and how quickly harry felt that she was stranded. as anna was saying, storying being briefed against her, against both of them. this, as harry is saying, is how he felt there was no alternative but to exit the royal family for their safety, his own safety and the safety of the children. he simply couldn't protect meghan. she was, she said it, being fed to the wolves. >> there's a lot to take in here i think on so many levels. one of the moments that has definitely stood out is the description that meghan was given about what her entrance into the family was like,

talking about it being like an organism joining in. let's take a listen to that moment. >> our private secretary, she worked for the queen for i think 20 years. what she said to me was, it's like this fish swimming perfectly, powerful, on the right current, and then one day this little organism comes in, this foreign organism, and the entire thing goes -- >> right. she's that different organism coming in. there's been much made over the years about how difficult it is to come into the royal family. harry touches on that as well. it harkens back even to his mother, to princess dianament one of our colleagues early this morning noting charles was marries up when he married diana spencer given her lineage. yet that was different. harry sees all this unfolding in

realtime. it just begs the question, are they never going to learn? >> are they never going to change? this is something that's been really drawn out over the six episodes of the netflix series, that what happened diana, the chasing and the paparazzi, the fact that as soon as she left the royal family, there was no one protecting her, that this happened to meghan when she was in the royal family. after diana, the grief was so terrible, we said this will never happen again. women who marry into the royal family are treated as if every part of their lives has to be for public consumption. with meghan it was worse because there was sexism, anti-americanism, most of all racism. >> absolutely. it's also i think a little tough to understand on this side of the atlantic, this agreement that the royal family has with a certain sector of the press in the uk. it's my understanding initially that came about to try to

control some of this pressure and this endless thirst for information about the royal family. i wonder if what we're seeing that maybe that arrangement isn't working out so well. do you think there's any chance that will change? >> i think it's clear that it will not work out. offices are briefing against each other, offices seeing a negative story about one royal, so they offer a negative story about another royal to get them off the front pages, this is a really serious allegation. meghan has talked about the effect of these stories on her mental health, talks about how they created suicidal ideation. she also talks about how suing the mail on sunday newspaper here might have prompted the miscarriage that she suffered. there's a lot of mental and physical distress here, that these stories could create. that's a serious allegation. buckingham palace aren't answering it. certainly it's time to look at these questions, time to look at this and say this is not going to work. it's not an appropriate way.

meghan was driven out of the royal family when charles, when george, charlotte, louie, the children of william and kate, when they get married. how can we be sure this doesn't happen again? people across the country and the commonwealth in particular are going to be looking at meghan, this woman of color who married into the royal family and say why isn't she being protected. it doesn't seem this institution seem very accountable. in urgent need of reform particularly because king charles was harry's father. he was there throughout this. harry says at times he tells lies. where was he in all this? where was the king? >> it is heartbreaking to watch in these episodes. you feel for them, as you point out. it is frightening. this is their side of the story, but to get to this point and to have a family so torn apart, it is still remarkable that there is no comment. i wonder if that will change even on back channels. kate williams, appreciate it.

new details this morning about what the man accused of attacking speaker nancy pelosi's husband paul planned to do, including targeting hunter biden, california governor gavin newsom and actor tom hanks. >> this is according to the san francisco police department, an official who testified on wedn wednesday, before a judge ruled there is enough evidence to proceed to trial. cnn's nick watt has been covering this. fair amount of compelling evidence brought forward in that hearing yesterday. what were the most important things we learned? >> reporter: well, we learned what the suspect's parent motive was, i suppose. this suspect allegedly told an sfpd lieutenant shortly at the attack that, quote, there is evil in washington, which started with hillary clinton.

you mentioned on his target list, governor of california gavin newsom, the actor tom hanks and also hunter biden. apparently david depape said he wanted to kidnap hunter biden to discuss, quote, all the corruption. it has been roughly six and a half weeks since depape broke into the pelosi home, woke paul pelosi up, standing over the bed holding a hammer and cable ties and asking where is nancy, where is nancy. he's charged with attempted murder and some other charges. he has pled not guilty so far to those state charges against him. as you mentioned, this hearing yesterday was really for a judge to decide whether there is enough evidence for this case to proceed. apparently in the moments after the attack this suspect also kind of confessed to police. one lieutenant testifying yesterday saying depape said to her, i didn't really want to

hurt him -- meaning paul pelosi -- but that this was a suicide mission. two police officers were standing in the door of the pelosi house when depape hit paul pelosi with the hammer. as we heard on cnn in the past couple days, that attack was one of the driving forces behind nancy pelosi deciding to step aside, pull back from her role as leader. >> that's amazing the cops were already there when he got hit in the head with a hammer. that's remarkable. >> nick, appreciate it. thank you. the federal government is thousands of documents at the request of president joe biden. this is related to the assassination of president john f. kennedy. >> the government has yet to make public 16,000 documents about kennedy's death. experts say those remaining

documents may contain the most sensitive material about the 35th president's shocking murder. still ahead, it was supposed to be a routine space walk today at the iss, but a significant league -- boy, you can see it right there, has upended those plans. what we're learning about exactly what happened on that russian spacecraft and the risks it posed. that's coming up. oh no... for the gifts you won't forget. happy holidays from mercedes-benz. see your mercedes-benz dealer today for exceptional offers.

scene outside of the international space station. before a scheduled russian space ca walk. so take a look.

that is a leak springing from the spacecraft and that led to all of he these plans being called off. >> as to what may be causing this stream of particles that appears to be coming from the area, you're looking at a close-up view of the area of the soyuz spacecraft that began streaming particles of what could be a coolant fluid. >> if i see that coming out of my spacecraft, i get worried. >> i'm a little worried. >> yeah. >> kristin fisher is here with us now. they're calling it a fairly significant leak. i imagine there are no insignificant leaks in space. do they know it is coolant and do they know how to fix it. >> yes, it is coolant and you're in space which means it is much por difficult to fix. they discovered as two russian cosmonauts were about to begin a

space walk. so they stopped the space walk as they tried to troubleshoot what exactly that is. both nasa and cosmos said at no point was anyone in danger. but look at that leak. that is a significant leak. leaks do happen in space. of all different types of fluid. but this is a big one. and so cosmos used the european arm attached to the russian segment of the station to try to see exactly what the issue is. they saw some minor damage but they haven't been able thus far as best we can tell to fix it. so, a lot of questions. we don't know what caused it, but as of now, everybody is safe aboard the international space station. but i should point out, the soyuz spacecraft, it is a reliable work horse but it is does happen and they are working closely to fieg out what went wrong. >> is there any concern that this compromise here could --

could rather compromise the capsule's eventual return to earth. >> that is a concern. this is the spacecraft that took two russian cosmonauts, frank rubio, up to the international space station just a few months ago ago and it is used as a an emergency shelter vehicle so this is definitely potentially a critical issue. we don't know just how much this spacecraft has been compromised. we're hoping to get some information about that today. but it definitely could impact a return to earth and that is why it is so important for these astronauts and cosmonauts to be trained on both the russian spacecrafts and the u.s. ones as well. >> let's hope they have duct tape on board. because that solves all problems. >> thank you so much. >> good tip, macgyver, i like
