♪ hello and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," a texas border town declares a state of emergency as it buckles

under a surge of migrants. a look at the coming change that's expected to see those numbers grow. plus, we're seeing dangerous driving conditions across new york state right now. the cities across the u.s. brace for bitter cold this week, the forecast is ahead. and, the fans are ready to see argentina take on france in the world cup final. we're live in qatar just ahead. ♪ >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom." with kim brunhuber. we begin at the u.s. southern border and growing fears about a potential humanitarian crisis. large numbers of asylum seekers are straining the resources of the towns and cities receiving them. officials in el paso, texas, say thousands have arrived in just the past week. on saturday the mayor declared a state of emergency.

he said the decision was prompted by the number of people sleeping on the streets amid falling temperatures and by the anticipated end of a trump era policy just days away. >> i really believe that today our asylum seekers are not safe as we have hundreds and hundreds on the streets and that's not the way we want to treat people. we know that the influx on wednesday will be incredible, it will be huge. talking to some of our federal partners, they really believe that on wednesday our numbers will go from 2500 to 4, 5, or maybe 6,000. when i asked them, i said, do you believe that you guys can handle it today? the answer was not. when i got an answer of no that meant we needed to do something and do something right away. >> unless the supreme court steps in, wednesday will see the end of the title 42 policy in the u.s. and when that happens authorities expect the number of asylum seekers at the southern border to rise even higher.

title 42 is a trump-era public health order that allowed authorities to turn away migrants at u.s. borders to curb the spread of coronavirus. it's named after the part of the u.s. code that allowed the centers for disease control to issue the policy and has allowed the u.s. to expel around 2 million migrants. it's been extended multiple times. on april 1st the cdc announced plan to stop the order saying it was no longer necessary given the decrease in covid cases but remained in place due to lawsuits by republican states. last month a federal judge struck down the policy but put his order on hold until december 21st. gustavo val des is on the southern side of the border watching as asylum seekers cross the rio grande then lined up to present themselves to u.s. authorities. have a look. >> reporter: since friday we've been seeing this situation unfold every few minutes. a group of migrants get to this

part of the rio grande, families with children, trying to cross into the u.s. you see, they get somebody to help them, trying to keep their feet dry as much as they can. it's a shallow part of the rio grande in this part. they get across, they try to do it carefully. still dangerous. we've seen people tumble and fall, thankfully without any severe injuries, and the goal once they cross over is continue the short trek up that hill where the u.s. government has built a temporary fence at the end of the existing border wall and those people are waiting to be processed. the process seemed to be faster than in days past when there was a long line of people waiting, people who had to wait more than a day to be processed. in the past couple of days what

we've seen is border patrol agents taking them in a little faster, they wait for a van or a big bus and that's how they take them somewhere else to be processed. that doesn't mean they are being accepted for asylum, just means they are being processed somewhere else. we're seeing the other part of this group trying to keep their documents, their documents dry. this is the end of a long road for many of them. where are you guys from? they're from venezuela. most of these people are from venezuela. they say they're tired because it's been very cold. this he need to cross. they think they're going to have a chance. now, the u.s. authorities insist that the end of title 42 doesn't mean open borders. these people are still subject to the protection. for these people that doesn't matter. the only thing they are worried about is that they are sent back to the country. they want -- if they are not

going to be allowed into the u.s., that they at least let them stay in mexico. that's something that is still to be seen. like these people over the weekend, the local authorities are telling us they suspect there are thousands waiting for the opportunity on wednesday to cross into the united states. gustavo valdes, cnn, next co. the white house says there is a, quote, robust efrd under way to prepare for the end of title 42 anticipating in the increase of the already high number of asylum seekers. the biden administration has asked congress for billions to boost resources. cnn's arlette saenz reports from the white house. >> reporter: the biden administration is bracing for a possible surge of migrants as title 42 is expected to end on wednesday. homeland security officials recently warned that they anticipate a likely increase in migrant flow immediately when that policy is lifted. now, here at the white house

officials have long known that this trump era policy would end at some point, but it took on additional meaning when that judge last month ruled that title 42 needed to end by december 21st. that is wednesday. on friday night a federal appeals court blocked a challenge from some republican-led states that would have kept the policy in place and the white house has said that they have a robust effort under way to try to manage the border in the wake as they're expecting title 42 to be lifted. now, the white house has been trying to make clear that the lifting of title 42 does not mean that the border is open and that they are going to work to try to manage migrant flow. the department of homeland security has released a six-point plan detailing some of these efforts including surging of personnel and resources to the board tore help with processing. they've also established or they are in the works of establishing some temporary facilities to help with this processing and also ramping up on the ground and air transportation to try to

move some of these migrants and process them as well. additionally the biden administration has asked congress for more than $3 billion to address border security issues. what white house officials consistently say is that the only way for these issues to be fixed is if comprehensive immigration reform is passed up on capitol hill. in the coming days the white house is certainly facing a very steep challenge when it comes to the expected flow of migrants that could begin on wednesday and flow into the coming weeks. arlette saenz, cnn, the white house. for more i want to bring in a staff attorney at the ucla center for immigration law and policy and she joins me from san diego, california. thanks so much for being here with us. so as we're seeing a huge crush of migrants that are hoping to come across if and when the title 42 policy goes away, i want to play you a clip from a democratic congressman, henry

cuellar from the other day who just came back from a border visit talking about what happens when title 42 ends. listen to this. >> communities are going to be overwhelmed, not only el paso, we have seen that in the past with rio grande valley, we've seen it in eagle pass, del rio, they will be overwhelmed. there is just not enough shelters and border procession centers to handle the large numbers of people. >> so i want to ask you is he right? i mean, how much harder will it make it to handle the already ongoing crisis? >> sure. thank you, kim, for having me. i guess, first i will say it's critically important to note that essentially for over two and a half years the u.s. border has been shut to people seeking asylum due to this debunked so-called public health policy known as title 42. it's important to know that that's how we've gotten here. that's how we've reached the point where there is this backlog of people trapped in

border cities waiting to exercise their right to seek asylum. but this reality is simply not insurmountable for the u.s. government. the federal government knows exactly how to process people humanely, efficiently and in large numbers. in fact, it did exactly that with ukrainians fleeing war who came to our border in large numbers earlier this year. the u.s. took in more than 100,000 ukrainian refugees in five months including over 20,000 people who were welcomed along the land border in the month of april alone. there is no reason why once title 42 lifts, if and when it lifts, the u.s. can't do the same for haitians, venezuelans, central americans, it's just a question of whether the administration and the federal government is willing to exercise the political will needed to do that. >> yeah, i mean, that's certainly a question, but, i mean, you say that they have the

capacity. i mean, there's already a backlog of millions of people in the system waiting to get -- to have their cases heard so how are they supposed to handle this fresh influx? >> there is a backlog, there is a backlog of people waiting to seek asylum and there are backlogs in the court but implementing title 42 expelling people sue may recall to mexico without due process that takes resources, incarcerating people in border iceboxes, that takes resources, putting people in ice prisons takes resources. now is the time for the biden administration to invest, to show leadership on this issue, to invest in humane welcoming efforts at the border that will help restore the asylum system. >> i really appreciate your insights into all of this. thanks so much for speaking with us. >> thank you. tourists who had come to perú for the trip of a lifetime have found themselves in the

middle of something they couldn't have planned for. airport and railroad shutdowns caused by the widespread political protests in the country have left as many as 300 tourists stranedded in ma chew pea chew. here is one tourist's account of what he saw. >> when we arrived in town as we were walking through i saw the trains sitting in the station and i notice add guy that was welding the gates shut on the train station which was unusual. so that was our first clue that something wasn't quite right. then our guide had told us that there were rocks on the tracks, i mean, boulders the size of small cars in some cases, and they had started small fires and burned some of the railway ties and such. so it was completely impassable for the train and then we, you know, as a team, the eight of us took a vote as to whether we

were going to walk, which we elected to do the following morning, at about 5:30 and then 30 odd kilometers later we ended up back at the trail head hoping to catch a ride back. >> the mayor told cnn he had requested helicopter flights to evacuate the tourists. thousands across new york and new england will wake up to a white blanket as a cold winter storm dumped around 2 feet of snow in the northeast. the u.s. weather service is warning the travel conditions could be dangerous. the new york governor is urging residents to avoid unnecessary trips. meanwhile, a burst of cold arctic air will further send temperatures plummeting and bringing snow in the coming days. allison chinchar has more. >> astronomical winter begins in week and for much of the u.s. it is certainly going to feel like

it. a big mass of cold air is set to push down from canada into the northern portion of the u.s. before spreading into much of the eastern half of the country in the coming days. sunday morning the feels like temperatures across the high plains are going to be bitter cold. minus 13 is what it will feel like in bismarck, minus 23 in fargo. but it's actually expected to get even colder in the coming days. take fargo, for example, the high temperature on sunday only 4 degrees. by the time we get to tuesday, that high temperature doesn't exceed minus 6 and when you factor in the wind, that windchill is more likely to be around the minus 25 range. and, again, these temperatures will continue not only for that area, but begin to spread across much of the country for the rest of the week. in total likely looking at nearly 80% of the u.s. population having temperatures at or below the freezing mark at some point in the next seven days. and while it starts in the northern tier, it will spread even to some southern cities.

take, for example, atlanta, high temperature on thursday of 52 degrees, but once we get to friday that temperature drops all the way back to 25. and that cold air is set to stay in place even through christmas weekend. looking ahead to the long term forecast, the eastern half of the country remains below average for the next several weeks. look at that, i mean, the football game between the miami dolphins and the buffalo bills was briefly delayed because of snow. not because of the flakes falling from the sky but the hard round snowballs hurled from the stands. highmark stadium citing safety concerns saying anyone caught throwing snowballs would be ejected from the game but the cold weather seemed to be the charm for the bills they defeated miami 32-29, the bills are now headed for the playoffs. health officials in the u.s. are warning that holiday gatherings could further

increase the spread of three deadly viruses, flu, covid and rsv. they're urging people to get vaccinated and mask up when indoors. the viruses are already stretching overwhelmed hospitals across the country. cnn's gloria pazmino has more. >> reporter: and flu certainly continues to be a concern even though the numbers are starting to improve. when you look at what the target is for flu vaccination, 70%, the numbers show that we are not quite meeting the mark. only 40% of adults 46% of children have gotten their flu vaccination. federal officials are encouraging people to not just get their flu shot but also get their covid vaccine and their booster. we are now in this moment where we are dealing with this triple threat. rsv, covid and the flu, all of this as we head into the height of the holiday season. many people hoping once again to

gather and to get together with families and friends safely because we haven't really been able to do so for such a long time. now, i do want to put the numbers in some context. according to the cdc so far more than 15 million people have become sick as a result of the flu. 150,000 hospitalizations and 9300 deaths in the season so far. to put that in historical context, those numbers have not been as high during the season for at least a decade and that is certainly part of what's leading officials to be concerned about what is left of the flu season. now, there are things you can do to prevent getting sick and getting other people sick. officials once again encouraging people to mask up while they are indoors. several cities around the country have issued new guidance not a requirement that people wear a mask when they are

indoors or in crowded places and of course they are reminding people to test and to -- and to vaccinate. now, the federal government is also responding once again, people can go online and request a free covid test to be delivered to their homes. all of this in an effort to prevent and to make sure that people can gather safely during this holiday season. in new york, gloria pazmino, cnn. south korea calls it a serious provocation and japan has launched a protest with north korea over pyongyang's latest missile launch. south korea's joints chiefs of staff say at least two ballistic missiles flew into the waters between the korean peninsula and japan early sunday. japanese officials say they flew # 300 miles apparently without damaging aircraft or ships in the area. the u.s. and south korea called on pyongyang to immediately stop the launches. this is the 35th day this year

love entwined. exclusively at kay. less than five hours away from the biggest match in all of sports, the fifa world cup final. this year france is squaring off against argentina looking for its first title since 1986. the argentine fans say they've waited long enough and are ready for a win. listen to this. thousands of fans have made their way to qatar from arj to cheer on their team as well as lionel messi. the striker is trying to win his first world cup title but standing in his way is another top scorer, kylian mbappe.

we're following this match from all angels. in qatar amanda davies is standing by in the heart of the action and we have reaction from argentina's die hard fans. amanda, first to you, it all comes down to you. the matchup they might have dreamed of, soccer's two brightest stars of the past messi and the future, mbappe, what are we expecting? >> reporter: yeah, just that one gap left to fill on people's wall charts and brackets if they've been following this tournament closely over the last four weeks or so. i was there in brazil in 2014, the last time argentina and lionel messi reached the world cup final and saw their heartbreak firsthand, experienced it with the fans and they were beaten by their goal from mario ger sza as germany lifted the title at their expense. this is a heavyweight clash in terms of two traditional

footballing powerhouses, both looking for what would be a third world cup crown, to get that third star on their shirts. it's argentina against france, it's messi against mbappe as you mentioned and there is a real qatari investment as well literally and metaphorically because of the qatari investment from those two both play their football. this is their fourth world cup final in seven editions of the tournament. and their coach he is looking for his third world cup crown, one as a player, one as a manager he has already won and very much hoping that he leads this side to becoming the first back to back world champions for 60 years since brazil in 1962. he's talked about the awareness of the romance and the fairytale about what this moment means for lionel messi and what we know will be his final game at a

world cup in an argentina shirt and he's said so much anyway. he said he is not concerned about that, he's focusing on his team, his players. they have had an illness which has been sweeping through the ranks so he's had concerns about that. and their goal keeper and captain has very much towed the line that so many other teams have done so far in this tournament saying this isn't just about one man. we are taking on a team. >> i believe it's -- the event is too massive just being focused on one player. it's a final between the two big nation of football, between argentina and france. obviously when you face that type of player you need a special focus, but it's not only about him, you know.

>> reporter: that was the view from the france camp. but for their part argentina and their coach has very much urged their players to go out and win this for lionel messi. it was just a month ago chow messi, good-bye messi was ringing out behind us after that shock opening game defeat against saudi arabia. what a difference a month makes. 40 to 50,000 argentina fans expected to have descended here on doha over the last 24 hours or so. they are here in hope, expectation and dreaming that this might finally be their year once again. >> and we will be talking about that more. just now cnn's amanda davies, thanks, in qatar. really appreciate that. ste stefano pozzebon in bun airs. any ambivalence, it will be a

race if lionel messi leads argentina to glory today and in doing so cementing his legacy. >> reporter: indeed. absolutely. any complicated relationship with messi has been swept across the board. this is a nation that is really in love with its national team. it's a nation that breathes football, kim, like few others around the world and this city is building with the -- the momentum is building with expectations. i was here late last night and the images of the goals and the highlights of previous matches were shown and projected on the obelisk just behind my back which is one of the symbols of the city of buenos aires. we hear a few thousands of tourists, they have been out here all night waiting with momentum, waiting with a great expectation for this game. it's true what amanda said, that

argentina was here at this place just eight years ago with that painful loss against brazil in 2014. sorry, against germany in brazil in 2014, but these people think that this time is different. this country feels that this time is different. it is messi's last appearance likely last appearance in major international football trophy, his last dance and it's a team that finally plays with confidence, it plays with guice stowe and has managed to show pride for argentina once again. kim, let me conclude with a point that argentina right now is in the middle of a deep financial crisis, inflation here is at over 90%, most of the argentinians are struggling to get to the end of the month and yet there is a team that is gaining victories, gaining confidence in qatar and with this final trophy that is missing here since 1982 -- '86,

well, it's good to be argentinian back again. kim? >> all right. thanks so much stefano pos bonn in buenos aires. it's almost time for the newly elected congress to take over. plenty of work to be done in the lame duck session for the holidays. talking politics next. stay with us. recommended salonpas. without another pill upsetting my s stomach, i get powerful, effective and safe relief. salonpas. it's good medicine.

conditions as temperatures drop. meanwhile, a member of congress says the solution is at the migrants' countries of origin, not at the border. listen to this. >> there's a longer-term problem here and really a longer-term solution that's needed. you've got to work with those central american countries and latin american countries to build up their economies and help them rid themselves of the drug cartels that are threatening and endangering so many of these folks and forcing them to flee. >> el paso and immigration officials are also bracing for a surge in migrants with the court ordered end of a trump-era border policy known as title 42 that's expected on wednesday. all right. let's discuss this with ron brownstein, he is a cnn senior political analyst and a sent i don't know editor at the atlantic. thanks for being with us, ron. let's start with immigration, the biden administration under fire for the growing crisis at

the border with that huge surge expected. the administration says it's prepared but needs more help from congress to approve funding. republicans of course accusing biden of basically opening up the border and criticizing him for not actually visiting the border. how big of a political price are he and the democrats paying right now on this issue? >> yeah, it was -- it was a significant but ultimately second tier issue in the midterm. clearly polls show there is broad dissatisfaction with the way biden has handled the border and the conditions at the border, but as a motivating political issue it is primarily affected republicans. look, they have had enormous trouble finding a path that really satisfies either side. on the one hand they are facing a situation in which republican state attorneys general going to sympathetic republican appointed judges have really pursued a number of lawsuits that have hamstrung their efforts to unwind some of the harsher

tactics that trump used on the border, and then on the other side they've really been unable to get through congress any of the broader changes in immigration law, particularly legal status for people brought here by their parents, dreamers, that they were anticipating. right now they are in a situation where they're kind of just holding thorns on both sides and really haven't been able to generate a lot of progress to either mollify the critics or satisfy their supporters. >> speaking of dreamers, i mean, some kind of immigration to help -- immigration bill to help either the dreamers or to support migrants as farmworkers. those are the types much things democrats had hoped to get done before the new congress was sworn in in january. of course, this is the last gasp of power for democrats in terms of controlling all the levers of the federal government, but time is running out. the clock is ticking. so what do you think, if anything, they will get done before they lose the house?

>> first, to underscore, kim, your point about the clock ticking, since 1980 each time a party has lost the unified control of government the democrats have now, they haven't gotten it back in less than ten years. so that really underscores what the stakes are in these final weeks. and, look, it has been a productive lame duck session already with the passage of the legislation providing for security for same-sex and interracial marriages and now they have pretty much all of the cards are playing on the one hand of the -- so-called omnibus bill that will fund the federal government through the coming months, but also potentially have other elements attached to it and the most significant of those is a bipartisan reform and revision of the so-called electoral count act which was passed in the 1880s and this reform would clean up some of the ambiguities and

uncertainties in the original law that were part of donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. >> let's look, gen, at how things will change in the new year when the republicans take control of the house. they managed to, as you said, get some huge pieces of legislation done with bipartisan support and working with a few key senate republicans. so now the biden administration will be focusing on those, as well as some potentially new house members from those swing districts who may have, you know, a political incentive to show that they can work with democrats. so will that work? and how modest do you think democratic expectations should be for the next two years? >> i think they are modest in the extreme. i mean, the republican caucus is really -- is really bifurcated in a way that's going to make it hard for it to move forward on many areas of agreement with the biden administration and the democratic controlled senate. on the one hand roughly three quarters of the members of the republican -- the new republican

majority are from districts that trump won in 2020 by ten points or more, which means they are from the heart of trump country. they believe they were sent to washington to confront not cooperate with democrats. on the other hand, their majority, as you note, is based on the fact that there are 18 republicans who won districts that voted for biden in 2020, more than half of those are in new york and california, states that are going to be tougher for republicans to win in 2024, presidential year, than they were in '22. they have a very different set of incentives. they are looking for ways to show that they can work across party lines, but they are going to be facing the reality that kevin mccarthy in the effort to become the speaker is being forced to make a lot of concessions to the right that is in all likelihood going to point this majority on a path of almost unremitting confrontation, i think, with biden, whatever that means, good or bad, for those last 18 or so members who really need to have

a different profile going into 2024. >> some fascinating weeks ahead. really appreciate your analysis as always, ron brownstein, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. russia says president vladimir putin has visited the command center coordinating his war against ukraine. morale is reportedly sinking among russian forces. russia denies it needs more recruits but is rolling out a new campaign to persuade people to join the military. listen to this translation. >> translator: participants in the special operation receive many benefits from the government. sasha is happy. he now has the kind of salary he couldn't have even dreamed of before. a new profession, new friends, career advancement, free health care for himself and his family, government benefits, also the status of a combat veteran and, therefore, respect. well done, sasha. be like sasha. >> cnn contributor barbie ned

days and don't get paid overtime. sometimes they collapse from exhaustion. that is why many human rights groups are calling for qatar and fifa to do a proper account of the rights abuses that mieg grant workers suffered in the building of the world cup and during the tournament itself. qatar said about 30,000 migrant workers built the seven stadiums, thousands more were needed to build the metro, airport terminal, hotels and other supporting infrastructure and fifa has declared that qatar, the best world cup ever, and expects revenues of about $7.5 billion. that's a billion more than the russia world cup a few years ago, but one human rights body, human rights watch, is calling this that it will be remembered as the most expensive sporting event ever and the most deadly because we don't know exactly how many people died during the building of this world cup. listen to the fifa boss. >> those who came and those who

were here to welcome them have actually discovered that what is said or what is thought or what is believed is not true. that you can spend time together and just enjoy and just have a good time and just know each other better and these people when they go back home they will speak about their experience. the people who stay here, they will speak about their experience and they will open up more to the others. and i think this is really an important nonfootball legacy. >> reporter: the nonfootball legacy of fifa world cup qatar 2022 reremains that, for instance, that human rights watch points out that the average migrant worker in qatar ends $320 a year if they get

paid. listen to this criticism from amnesty international that says however good the football has been the tournament has come at a heavy cost for hundreds of thousands of workers paid illegal recruitment fees, wages stolen or even lost their lives. these workers and families deserve compensation and we are still waiting for fifa and qatar to commit to ensuring remedy for everyone who made this world cup possible and that's why they're calling for migrant workers here in qatar and some compensation fund for the many who did not get paid, who were injured, or might have lost their lives in this process, including the two migrant workers who have died since this tournament began, kim. >> yeah, as we get ready to enjoy the big game today it's important to keep these issues still front and center in our minds. larry madowo in doha, thanks so much. we will be right back.
