melissa bell. top of a new hour here on "cnn newsroom." good to have you along. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm bianna golodryga. the massive storm system that spawned dozens of deadly tornadoes across the south and blinding blizzards out west, well, it's not done wreaking havoc quite yet. it's now heading for new england, and the mid atlantic in the form of nor'easter, threatening to dump heavy snow and ice across the region. further south, the tornado threat persists. parts of florida remain under a tornado watch, and in louisiana where there is a state of emergency, residents in one town say they barely escaped last night's storm alive. >> it shook us and knocked us down, but when i walked over, i've seen the damage, and it happened like eight sebconds. >> i hear booming, and i hear my brother running out and he runs out in front of me, and we're running and we hear a bunch of

booms and everything, like, we hear the roof lifting and he's lifting off his feet and he grabbed onto the door frame. >> so when i heard, i thought it was an explosion, and then my mama told me to get down. >> listen to that little kid and what that night must have been like for him. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray is tracking the nor'easter. so jennifer, when will it hit? >> well, we're already starting to see snow across portions of the northeast, interior sections of the mid atlantic, and seeing portions across central florida as well. we have a tornado threat across central florida. it's cleared out for tampa and orlando, but making its way down to the south. fort myers, west palm beach will be next. that threat will be winding down as we go throughout the day. here is the snow. you can see the big cities are all rain. d.c., philly, new york, you're in on the rain. i-95 corridor is clear of the snow, but we're looking at snow

across interior sections, and the biggest threat with this is really the ice. we're going to see icy conditions across this region. we've already had ice accumulation of more than a quarter of an inch. this will definitely create some travel problems in this area as well as potential power outages when you talk about the snow -- or the ice rather weighing down on those power lines. winter storm warnings are in effect across interior sections of the northeast and new england. boston, new york, philly, d.c., all out of it, but that ice warning as well. so going forward in time, we're going to see the snow develop or continue, i should say, across northern pennsylvania, upstate new york, that's going to continue throughout the overnight hours. just a miserable, cold rain for the i-95 corridor, and then that snow will finally lift to the north and get out of here by tomorrow. victor and bianna, but we do have windy and cold conditions across the northeast to new england. >> day after day, this storm system causing more problems, and now it's moved east. jennifer gray, thank you. the biden administration is

bracing for a crisis on the border, and just released a plan for when the trump era immigration policy title 42 comes to an end next week. now part of the plan includes sending more resources to the border. also imposing consequences for ill illegal entry. >> but right now, communities across the southern border are already overwhelmed. thousands of migrants are streaming into cities like el paso, texas where resources are already strained. just last hour the mayor addressed the need for more help from the federal government and beyond. >> funding and sheltering is not the answer. it's a band-aid to really a bigger problem, and it's really important for us that we continue to work with our federal governments to see how they can come up with a permanent solution. it's something we're going to have to work with the u.n. and other countries to work through a situation that, again, it's bigger than el paso, and now it's become bigger than the united states. >> i mean, that's quite

significant to hear him say this is bigger than something the u.s. can handle alone. ed lavendera has more from the mexican side of the border. >> reporter: we're on the banks of the rio grande in juarez, mexico. the estimates are about 2,500 people a day, and you can see this constantly. this is a family from honduras i just spoke to, and they are crossing the river here. along that rocky path that has been created by migrants and essentially what they're going to do as they arrive in the united states just now setting foot over there, they will then stand in this long line of people that you can see out here into the distance. hundreds of yards long, and this is the process that migrants are going through as they're essentially turning themselves into border patrol agents right here just on the other side of the river, and you can see here as people have lined up and they

have been here overnight in frigid temperatures, 30 degrees, and there at the edge of the border wall with the barbed wire on the u.s. side where it comes to an end, there are a number of border patrol agents and chain link fences calling up small groups of migrants at a time, and from there, they're escorted to a processing facility several h hundred yards away, and that is the process that will determine believe it or not they get immediately expelled and deported out of the u.s. or if they will be given the paperwork needed to continue going through the immigration process while they wait that are in the united states, but all of these people essentially waiting for that, very unclear as to what might happen. i just spoke with a gentleman who was from venezuela who had some colombian friends who crossed over yesterday, and they have already been deported. so a great deal of uncertainty for all of these people, and also a great deal of uncertainty for what this scene will look like next week when title 42

expires. that's the public health rule that essentially allowed the u.s. government to immediately expel large numbers of migrants crossing into the u.s. it was a pandemic-era public health policy that was created, and the concern is that once that is possibly lifted next week, that the scenes here of migrants arriving at the border will just be even greater numbers than we're seeing right now. >> i mean, that is the concern that once that is lifted, that you are going to have just more and more scores of people coming and trying to cross the border. of course, we'll continue to be covering all this for you. our thanks to ed. the royal revelations keep coming, but the palace is keeping quiet about the latest installment of the docuseries "harry & meghan." the last episodes were released overnight, and they go deep into why they felt forced to leave their royal duties. >> max foster reports on the

bombshells including death threats, suicidal thoughts, and accusations of family jealousy. >> what she said to me was, it's like this fish that's, like, swimming perfectly. powerful, it's on the right current, and then one day, this little organism comes in. >> reporter: the second installment has landed. harry and meghan's netflix d docuseries could be more explosive than the last time around. >> and the entire thing goes -- what is that? what is it doing here? it doesn't look like us. it doesn't move like us. we don't like it. get it off of us. >> reporter: while the piece starts with fond recollections of their wedding, it goes onto accusations that the institution became jealous of the couple during their triumphant tour of australia in 2018. >> the issue is when someone who's marrying in, it should be a supporting act, and then they're stealing the limelight

or doing the job better than the person who's born to do this. that upsets people. it shifts the balance. >> reporter: for meghan, her claims of jealousy, media intrusion, lack of protection from the palace, even leaking of negative stories was too much. the stress of the coverage she says, triggering a miscarriage, and even suicidal thoughts. >> all of this will stop if i'm not here. and that was the scariest thing about it, is it was such clear thinking. >> i remember her telling me that, that she had wanted to take her own life, and -- and that really broke my heart. >> i was devastated. i knew that she was struggling. we were both struggling, but i never thought that it would get to that stage, and the fact that it got to that stage, i felt angry and ashamed. >> reporter: in late 2019, harry

says conversations were leaked between him and his father about meghan and harry taking reduced roles and leaving the uk. in early 2020, they issued their own statement laying out their plans, which culminated in a family row at the queen's s sandringham estate. >> it was terrifying to have my brother shout at me and my father say things that simply weren't true, and my grandmother sit there and quietly take it in. >> reporter: a year later, ahe of their bombshell interview with oprah winfrey, a story leaked that meghan had bullied her palace staff. >> to see this institutional gaslighting that happens is -- it is extraordinary. that's why everything that's happened to us was always going to happen to us, because if you speak truth to power, that's how they respond. >> reporter: harry speaking out

for his wife, but also his mother. buckingham palace and kensington palace say they won't be responding to the netflix series. instead, senior royals will continue with their planned public engagements. >> max foster joins us now. also here, emily nash, royal editor of "hello" magazine. let me start with max. after the queen's death, there was that joint appearance with the princes and their wives, and people were wondering, if this wasn't a moment for reconciliation, if there were any avenues open then. does this series close those off? >> i think it does because harry has betrayed so many confidences which william and charles wouldn't have liked to see happen. for example, that conversation, you know, at sandringham. that was a deeply private affair. i don't think, you know, william will feel he's got the confidence to speak the harry without those sorts of stories leaking and i think harry is aware of that as well. frankly, when we saw them out and about, you know, around the

queen's funeral just ahead of the queens a funeral, there was hope that was reconciliation, but to be fair to both sides, they were telling me that this was them coming together for the queen at a time when the whole nation should be unifying. i didn't get any sense that behind the scenes they were coming together. certainly later on that week, it was pretty clear, and emily i'm sure will confirm this as well, but the two sides weren't really speaking because they were discoordinated during that whole week. so i don't think they ever really came together. i think that was a hope for many people, and that will certainly be dashed by this documentary. >> yes, and harry has a book coming out as well. emily, you know, just objectively watching this, it is kind of difficult to be objective because you don't have the other side. you don't have the royals defending themselves or giving their side of the story, and it does seem uncomfortable to watch all of this play out within a family. i mean, it's an institution, but it's also a family. i'm just curious from your perspective, was there any other way they could have gone about

doing this? i'm not denying any of the emotions, the feelings, the accusations made by harry and meghan, but to do so so publicly and knowing that they made so much money off of this, what is your take? >> look. i think certainly the royal family would have much preferred to things be resolved within the family and not in the public arena like this. it makes me incredibly uncomfortable watching for everyone really, you know? while there is sympathy for harry and meghan for everything they have been through, you know, they're talking about how their lives have been blasted over the newspaper. this is exactly now what's happening to the rest of the family, and they are not in a position to respond to everything that's being said. so, you know, i think that you have sympathy for everyone involved. it's not what anyone would like for their own family to be going through, and you do have to remember at the end of the day, these are just human beings. they may be very, very, very famous, but they are going to be hurting behind the scenes as well.

>> max, reconcile for us now king charles who has historically wanted to modernize the royal family, modernize the british monarchy with what they describe as the rejection of literally the future of the monarchy, when you hear duchess meghan talk about the analogy of the fish swimming along and this new organism. >> so i think she was embraced and if they were to speak, and as they say they're not speaking, i think they would argue that they did defend meghan and they did do as much as they could to promote her in the family and give her a senior role and embrace her. i think harry really talks about this, you know, ultimately it's a hierarchy. the institution wouldn't exist without a hierarchy. charles will always be senior to william will always will senior to harry, and that is something i think meghan in particular struggled with that when there were decisions,

they would lean towards the moi she felt and harry felt that they weren't putting the people in the institution first. they were putting the institution first, and i think frankly, that is often what happens in a monarchy, but it wouldn't exist without that, and they just weren't willing to compromise on that. >> nevertheless, netflix says they've never seen viewership like this in terms of any other series they've released thus far. clearly a lot of people are interested in this family dynamic. max foster and emily nash, thank you. well, sources close to first lady jill biden say she is all in for a second run for the white house. we'll have details up next. and the mother of one of the idaho college students murdered is now speaking and claims she's been kept in the dark about the investigation. that's ahead. customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!

sources close to first lady jill biden tell cnn that she is now all in for her husband's 2024 re-election campaign. the president we should note has yet to officially announce anything. >> cnn white house correspondent kate bennett is with us now. so you know that this is a huge shift from her position just a few months ago. what are you sources telling you? >> reporter: i mean, she's always said she's on board for a second term. you don't go into the white house for a first term thinking there won't be a second one, but of course, the last few weeks have really made an impact on the first lady. just a series of wins for the president have sort of shifted her from, all right, let's if i can t-- figure this out, to all right. i'm all in. from the midterm election results to the uptick in the economy slightly and the

brittney griner even. all these baseline wins for the president have made her more reassured about a successful outcome for 2024, and that's important to the first lady. she is very much like her predecessors looking down the road at that legacy of the president. you know, and has had concerns, people tell me, about him always being the oldest president, and she doesn't want that to be the first sentence of every story about joe biden in the history books and so of course, there is a little bit of concern there that that is the story. hunter biden clearly will be another target should 2024 happen, and this is something the first lady keeps her eye on. she's looking at it who listlwh wholistically, and she feels she's in for her husband, and i will also say the east wing is saying she was always all in on it, but the shift here is that she's very much vocalizing --

this is something she stands behind her husband and they want to do. >> we'll see in november. kate bennett, thank you. bakari sellers is a former state representative and doug high is a former communications director for the rnc. bakari, this isn't that much of a surprise, and it seems like the next step to hearing from the president himself making it official that he will, in fact, run for re-election. once that does happen, do you expect to see any other democrat stand in his way? >> so first, i want to just back up a little bit and say, this is somewhat of a surprise because you do know that the only people really that the president will listen to in making a decision are his sister valerie biden-owens, his wife, of course, jill, and maybe anita dunn and a few others and by having his wife fully invested and on board for a re-election,

you can pretty much guarantee that his words will be, yes, i'm running for president of the united states. will somebody else challenge him? i mean, i'm not naive. i believe he'll get a challenge. many people will support the president of the united states. he'll probably get a challenge from the left, someone who thinks maybe he's not progressive enough or whatever they say from the bernie sanders wing of the party. i don't think that challenger is going to go anywhere, but the president has to be prepared to run a full campaign. at 80-something-odd years old, he has to have a full campaign, and not a covid-abbreviated general election. that's daunting for someone of any age. >> the latest cnn poll that came out says that 72% of the people who want someone other than joe biden, they don't have a specific person in mind. they just say, someone else, which actually might support the president in making the announcement because there is no singular strong alternative right now. doug, let me come to you. the late st polls show that on the republican side that we just had two come out. "wall street journal," "usa

today," that showed that republicans prefer florida governor ron desantis above formerr p of the ticket in 2024. does that change at all? do those numbers shift based on whether or not the president runs for re-election? >> no, i don't think they do. republicans are focused on themselves first and foremost on what they'll do, and what we've seen clearly on the past few months is donald trump, though he still makes headlines or at least tries to with the bizarre nft announcement today tries to make news, but he's fading in the mind of a lot of republican voters. they may still like donald trump, you. he's not front of mind for them like ron desantis, or a lot of republicans campaigns who had successful campaigns. they want a new generation of republicans and that's not donald trump. >> doug, can i just stick with you and ask you what's going on in terms of your party's leadership right now? because it does seem to be at sort of a crisis moment where you have kevin mccarthy now with

our reporting, cnn's reporting that the more moderate republicans in the house are going for the sic option for the conservatives that don't want him in leadership once the republicans take over the house. also, concerns within the party about just how much power in the standing that mcconnell has in the senate among republicans. what do you make of all of this? >> it's very interesting in the house right now. we often hear that the republican moderates are going to flex their muscles. it seems every six months there's an krisissue that comes where moderates starting to talk about flexing their muscle and they don't even know where the gym is. this time, they're organized, they're active. congressman dave joyce is supporting an ot -- i'm sorry. an ok button he's wearing that means only kevin. mod erates are in this for a log fight, and they're going after the freedom caucus part of the republican conference in a way they usually talk about, but

don't do. this is a pretty significant development and bodes well for kevin as this very difficult process moves forward. >> you think they could come up with maybe a more robust phrase for themselves other than -- >> ok goes a long way though. >> ok. bakari, let me go to you, and the expiration of the title 42 at the border. that's coming in a few days. you've already got this surge. ed lavendera showed us the long line in el paso. how much of a political problem is this for the prosecute? >> it's a political problem for everybody in washington, d.c. i mean, americans want the border fixed. they want a bipartisan solution to that, and i think that the president is going to, and the vice president for that matter, are going to flex their muscles to piggyback on what doug was talking about in finding the gym and putting together a bipartisan coalition. the problem is the gamesmanship that i'm not sure anything will

get done. i'm not that old, but i do remember the gang of eight and how they came forward with some bipartisan immigration portfolio and plan and policy that was pooh-poohed. we need both sides of the aisle to put together a comprehensive plan for the problem. is it a problem? yes. does the white house view it as a problem? yes. is there enough in washington, d.c. to tackle that problem? i don't know. >> doug, let me ask you that because clearly the border has been and will continue to be the focal point here of criticism for republicans against this administration. that's fair. they're in power, and so they receive a lot of the attention and criticism. that having been said, it takes two to tango here. their previous focus was on the economy. inflation is still very high, but a lot of other things. gas prices are down, unemployment remains low, and inflation looks like it's

heading in the right direction by cooling. so will republicans come to see some sort of middle ground with democrats on the issue of the border? >> i think most likely not. you know, what we've seen is immigration is a difficult issue regardless of who's in power, but what we've seen is when you have all democratic control, you don't see large scale legislation on immigration. when republicans are in control, we don't see it either. in divided government, it's going to be even more difficult. there's obviously legislation spearheaded by thom tillis from north carolina, my home state and kyrsten sinema who's no strange torr to headline these , and they want to move that forward, and that becomes harder to move in the senate come january. >> thank you both. >> thank you. the russian spacecraft docked at the international space station springs a significant leak. what we know about it, next. oh, i can tell business is going through the “woof”. but seriouslsly we need a reliable way

we're just getting this in about a scare that russia just had in space. officials believe they now know the source of a coolant leak that forced russian flight controllers to cancel a space

walk for two of their koz no naughts today. >> the crew is safe. that's a continued thing. kristen fisher has the breaking details. so quite shocking to watch that video there. what are you learning? how did this happen? >> reporter: well, bianna, leaks do happen in space, but that leak right there, that's a big one. i mean, even nasa is describing it as a fairly significant leak. it's -- they've just released what they believe to be the location of the leak. they say the suspected source is the external radiator cooling loop, and to kind of put this into perspective about where exactly this is. this spacecraft is a russian spacecraft that is attached to the international space station where nasa astronauts, european os astronauts and russian

cosmonauts go. it's it launched two months ago, carrying two russians and an american on board. it serves as a lifeboat in case something goes wrong. it can ferry that three-person crew back to earth and it was supposed to do that in march, and now it springs a leak, a coolant leak, and it happened as two russian cosmonauts were preparing for that space walk, and they canceled that, and they're trying to fix it and if that spacecraft will be able to bring those cosmonauts and astronaut home. >> thank you. now to idaho where the mother of one of the students who was murdered last month is speaking out. she says she's been left in the dark by police investigators, and claimed she's received what little information she has from people who just pick up the phone and call her. >> cnn national correspondent

camilla bernal is here for this story. understandably she's frustrated. >> reporter: bianna and convict it's a mother who lost her baby and it's been more than a month and we don't have a lot of information. of course, these families feel like they are in the dark. the most significant development in the last couple of weeks has been the search for this white hyundai elantra, and the driver -- it was made between 2011 and 2013, and police said they got a lot of new tips about this white car, but it's unclear whether any of these tips have been helpful, whether it's advanced the investigation, and what they're now saying is they're also going over 22,000 white hyundai elantras that are registered and fit this search criteria. clearly there's so much work to be done here. in the meantime though, kaylee goncalves' mother telling nbc that she was not aware of this car until everyone else found out about it. so yes. she is frustrated.

the moscow police department saying that they did email her and the family in advance. there's a little bit of a back and forth here, but nonetheless, this mother is just expressing her feelings and telling the world how she's been feeling over the last couple of weeks. here she is. >> it's sleepless nights. it's feeling sick to your stomach. it's just being left in the dark. >> reporter: and cnn has been in touch with the goncalves' family attorney. he says that the family did meet with local authorities. they asked for communication. they asked for accountability, and they say they're hopeful. they're optimistic that they will catch this killer, but they also said that they do not have any new information. look, in moscow, people are scared. they are frus ttratefrustrated. i talked to someone who said, my wife needs someone to go with her to walk her dog because she's that scared. that's the community.

announced an expansion of training for ukraine-armed forces in europe that will include joint maneuver and combined arms operations training. meantime, russia is issuing new threats towards ukraine and the united states. >> this follows reporting that the u.s. the finalizing plans to ship a patriot missile system to ukraine. the kremlin warns that move could lead to unpredictable circumstances. cnn's will ripley has the latest from kyiv. >> reporter: victor and bianna, the white house has not even officially confirmed that patriot missile defense systems will be arriving here in ukraine. although an announcement could really come at any time. cnn was first to report that these highly effective missile defense systems that ukraine has been pounding its fists on the table for, for not even months, but years saying that they're going to be a necessary part of this conflict as it moves into the next phase, that's what the defense minister told me when i interviewed him. the patriot missile defense systems, the ukrainians say will be deployed here and they say they are an important and crucial tool really as they

continue to try to defend themselves from constant russian bombardment of the civilian power infrastructure. i'll give you an example. the other day the air raid sirens went off in kyiv not because of missiles, but because there were bombers in the air space near ukraine that carry the kind of missiles that ukraine does not have the capacity to shoot down. if russia were to fire these missiles and they were to successfully hit their target, ukraine could not defend themselves against them. patriot would change that, and that's why ukrainians say they need that. there's also an important new interview out with the head of ukraine's armed forces where he is saying with certainty, you know, whether that is a deliberate misinformation as the russians have been doing throughout this conflict or whether they actually have verifiable and concrete intelligence that's not mentioned in the article, he is saying he believes that the russians are preparing to move on kyiv at some point early next year. again, the ukrainians have become very adept at controlling the message and using the message to their advantage

strategically. nonetheless, it is noteworthy that the ukrainians are publicly stating they think the russians are going to try to move once again on the ukrainian capital as they did when they entered this country on february 24th. also, the fighting on the front lines to the south and the east has been continuing and it is very intense where ukrainian rockets have been hitting civilian targets according to russian-backed officials although cnn can't independently verify that. there have been social media videos of an intersection on fire, of a cathedral that was hit, and also commercial and residential buildings. shelling has taken lives in kherson and it has cut that city off from the power grid entirely. there are many people including children who are in that city right new in the dark and the cold. victor and bianna? >> will ripley, thank you. it is nostunning when you look images last year getting ready for the holidays and now completely in the dark, and

we're following several developments right now. the national archives has just released nearly 13,000 documents detailing the 1963 assassination of president john f. kennedy. earlier today, the white house issued a statement saying additional documents would be released in june of next year. >> this comes one year after president biden also released nearly 1,500 other classified

jfk files. the cnn team is going through these newly released documents now and will bring you the new information as soon as we get them. also just minutes ago, a texas jury has found former fort worth officer aaron dean guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 shooting death of 28-year-old it a ettiana jefferson. >> the jury reached this verdict after conferring for about eight hours on wednesday and more than five hours today. thigh found aaron dean guilty of the lesser included offense of manslaughter after he shot jefferson through a window of her home in 2019. dean, who is white, resigned days afterwards. he was arrested and charged in the killing of jefferson, who is black. he killed not guilty to murder, a charge which carries a possible sentence of 5 to 99 years. dean did take the stand and

testified in his own defense on monday, telling the jury that he fired at jefferson because she pointed a gun at him. when he was pressed during cross-examination, he admitted many of his actions that night were, quote, bald police work, including firing the weapon without seeing her hands or what was behind her, failing toll his parter in that he saw a gun, and rushing into the home without fully ensuring it was safe. now, in the closing arguments the state had portrayed dean as a power-hungry former cop whose prepreconceived notions about the neighborhood where she lived tainted the night of the shooting. the defense said dean fired his weapon in self-dflsz fearing for his life in what attorneys said was a tragic accident and not a criminal act. again today the jury disagreed with what the defense said, finding him guilty of the manslaughter charge, and he faces up to 20 years in prison for the conviction. the jury still has to determine the sentencing details. back to you. >> lucy, thank you.

turning to wall street, a massive sell-off continues. stocks have been plummeting all day. >> cnn's matt egan back with us now. matt, explain what's happening. >> i think the market is getting hit by a double whammy here. yesterday the fed made clear it's not done slamming the brakes on this economy, inflation might be cooling but not enough for them to stop raising interest rates just met yet. and today some cracks in the economy, retail sales unexpectedly tumbled, manufacturing reports were weaker than expected. so i think if you put it all together, wall street is growing more worried that the fed is going to slow this economy right into recession, so we see the dow down almost 800 points, 2.3%. markets are up off their worst lows of the day. at one point the dow was down 950 points but still closing near session lows. tech stocks have gotten hit particularly hard -- apple,

netflix, facebook owner meta, all of them down sharply. if you look at how the market has performed overall this year, the s&p 500 is down 18% so far this year. that is easily on track for the worst year since 2008. it feels like the market is in kind of a weird place right now where good news is bad and bad news is bad. what i mean by that is good economic news, right, is being interpreted as bad because it means the fed will have to be even more aggressive. bad economic news is bad for everyone because it suggests a growing risk of a recession. i think that today's sell-off shows that the market is clearly pricing in a growing risk, not a certainty, but a growing risk of a recession. >> and it comes after what we saw were some positive headlines in terms of where inflation was going and while still high it does appear to be cooling consecutive months now. >> it is cooling. i think the problem, though, is that inflation is nowhere near the fed's target.

consumer prices up 7.1% year over year, the fed is targ erting 2% inflation, so fed chair jerome powell yesterday struck a pretty hawkish tone. he needs to see more proof that inflation is really cooling off. so that he is raising these concerns that the fed is going to have to keep raising rates and going to have to keep them high, and at some point that could do some -- more damage to the economy. >> all right. just a few minutes more until that closing bell. we'll see where the market goes. matt egan, thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks, matt. up next, a capitol police sergeant is opening up to cnn about his resignation from the force after he found a trump photo taped to his computer. that interview up next. is sensational.. it's truly an all-s-star lineu. try it today. i was born on the south side of chicago.
