>> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. it is wednesday, december 21st, 9 a.m. here in london. 4 a.m. in washington where in the hours ahead president joe biden will welcome ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy to the white house. in a tweet mr. zelenskyy confirmed he's heading to the u.s. to, quote, strengthen resilience and defense capabilities. he's set to visit capitol hill. house speaker nancy pelosi formally invited the leader to address the joint member of congress. during this dark moment you're valued not only your people, the world to j j jfront lines for freedom. mr. zelenskyy in washington the u.s. president is expected to announce another huge military

aid package for ukraine worth almost $2 billion. cnn correspondents are covering all of the developments. claire sebastian is here first. let's begin with phil mattingly at the white house. >> reporter: for more than 300 days president volodymyr zelenskyy has not left ukraine. russia's invasion of ukraine and a grinding war that continues to this moment. however, on wednesday he will depart. depart and has already departed for washington, d.c., in what will be an historic and quite symbolic meeting face to face with president biden. the u.s. serving as the number one ally and certainly when it comes to scale of defense assistance. in that meeting which will be extensive, the presidents and their top two teams, president biden will make a significant announcement of his own, $1.8 billion in new security assistance on top of more than 20 billion the u.s. has already

directed towards ukraine since the start of the war. inside that $1.8 billion, the most significant weapons system the u.s. has been willing to provide ukraine up to this point. patriot missile systems which president zelenskyy has repeatedly asked for, talked about personally pleaded with president biden in phone calls, i'm told, for those weapon systems, particularly in the wake of the last several weeks of russia ramping up its attacks on civilian infrastructure. now president biden is willing to say yes and will start the process of sending those towards ukraine. the expansion of the security systems, the face-to-face meeting, first visit for president zelenskyy out of his country since the war began all underscoring a relationship that will continue, quote, as long as it takes. that relationship will also carry over on to capitol hill where zelenskyy will deliver a primetime address to the joint session of congress at the very moment lawmakers are considering

another $45 billion of emergency aid to ukraine. critical bipartisanship up to those votes. despite some republicans raising concerns, something president zelenskyy will be trying to ensure continuous and a moment the u.s. has made clear is not changing or going through any time soon. mr. zelenskyy traveled to the front lines of the war in eastern ukraine visiting the city of back hmud. a soldier thanked him for the weapons they had been sent. meanwhile, in russia president vladimir putin handed out awards to leaders of four russian occupied regions even as he acknowledged the situation was complicated. today he's expected to hold an expanded meeting of the defense

ministry board. you would have thought this meeting in washington would have come out of the meeting in moscow. >> it will be very closely watched and in particular the news around the patriot missiles, with i is something moscow has addressed great concern about just last week when cnn reported that the u.s. was willing to send those to ukraine. the kremlin inspector said they would be seen as a legitimate target. russia has been painting this as a war between itself and not ukraine but the west so that will further that argument. significant as well, max, alongside the meeting putin is holding, we're seeing the head of the security council, the former president of china meeting with xi jinping at the same time russia and china are

holding joint naval exercises. >> more people talking about the security implications of zelenskyy leaving ukraine. what are those concerns based on? >> well, i mean, look, i think this has been a concern for zelenskyy when he left the war. when he was offered to be evacuated he said, look, i don't need a ride, i need ammunitions. it is risky because he's doing this in conjunction with this massive weapons package we're expecting along with the weapons package. this escalation as russia will see it, they will see this as an escalation comes with even more risk. that's why, max, we didn't see zelenskyy confirming the trip until he was already on his way. >> watching the trip very closely. the top story this hour. democrats in congress have been trying to get their hands on

donald trump's tax returns for years and now the american public will finally get a look. the house ways and means committee has voted to release trump's 2015 through 2020 returns and an accompanying report shows he claimed huge on perfect racing losses to reduce his tax liabilities to zero and it raises questions of millions of dollars of charitable contributions. the internal revenue service never properly scrutinized the returns as is required by the mandatory audit program. >> the tax forms were really never audited and only my signing a letter at one point prompted sort of a rear-view mirror response. >> the start of this examination wasn't even begun until after trump left office so there is something clearly wrong here. the american people have a right

to know about this alarming state of noncompliance with the mandatory presidential audit. but you know what, they can't take our word for it. they need to see the returns themselves. >> personal information like bank accounts and social security numbers are being redacted from the tax returns right now. they could be available to the public within just a few days. cnn's chief congressional correspondent manu raju has the details. >> reporter: it's been years since house democrats have are come to power in 2019 demanded donald trump's tax returns, went through a court fight that donald trump took all the way to the supreme court to try to shield those tax returns from becoming public. he lost that fight. ultimately those returns turned over to democrats just a matter of weeks ago but in a party line vote house democrats in their final days in power, the ways and means committee voted to release the tax returns from six

years -- six recent years as well as not just his individual returns but his business returns as well. that vote 24-16 along party lines to release both a report from the committee investigating this as well as all of those returns. now first on the report the two that were released late on tuesday night, one of which is the committee's investigation that found that the mandatory presidential audit system that the irs employs for all sitting presidents, they say it was dormant during the trump years. that is an essential program because they need to ensure that a president is not compromised in any way in signing legislation into law. they said it was not essentially in use until april of 2019. that was when the chairman of the ways and means committee started to inquire about donald trump's tax returns. they say at that point that's when the irs audit program kicked into gear and they said it never was completed over the six years of returns that they

ultimately obtained. a joint committee of taxation analyzing those returns. it raises some questions about some of the deductions donald trump took suggested that perhaps more investigation might be warranted. did not make a judgment one way or the other but got into the numbers of his deductions, his losses and the income that he reported. we expect a lot more, including all details of those tax returns in the days ahead. right now the committee is trying to redact some of the sensitive security information, confidential information like social security numbers and the like. once that is done, they will be released. it will come out before democrats are no longer in power in the house. january 3rd is when republicans take over. republicans attacking democrats for misusing the power and releasing donald trump's returns. donald trump's spokesperson attacking committee democrats. they are moving forward and moving forward on legislation to

mandate how presidents are audited by the irs. that is something nancy pelosi in her final days of speaker plans to bring to the floor. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >> we haven't heard directly from donald trump yet but a spokesperson released this statement. this unprecedented leak by lame duck democrats is proving they're playing a game that they're losing. if this can happen to president trump, it can happen to all-americans without cause. a powerful storm known as a bomb cyclone is developing now over the u.s. 17 million people are under winter weather alerts. that number is expected to grow over the coming days as well. the brutal cold temperatures have state officials preparing for icy conditions and wind chills below zero degrees fahrenheit. all of this of course just days before christmas. airlines are warning the extreme weather could make holiday

travel a nightmare telling americans be to prepare for flight delays and kacancellatio. first we go to meteorologist derek van dam tracking the latest forecast. zblrm that's right. all of the ingredients coming together for a blockbuster winter storm. this is a multi-faceted winter storm with the potential for blizzard conditions. flash freezes and an arctic outbreak like i've never seen before. this storm means business. we have 70 million americans under some sort of winter weather alert stretching from the pacific northwest to the great lakes. note the warnings through south central minnesota. likely to see them expanded as we go forward in time. we have winter weather alerts from the border of canada to the south of mexico. here's a look at a term known as a bomb cyclone. we will certainly meet this criteria with the strengthening and deepening low pressure system associated with our

storm. here it is in its infancy. yes, it's still impacting the pacific northwest. it's going to gather some steam throughout the course of the day today. by the time it reaches the northern sections of colorado, denver. you'll see your temperature drop roughly 50 degrees fahrenheit in a matter of a few hours. incredible. cool front moves east. first flakes of snow fly in chicago by thursday midday and then we start to see when this storm means business. wraps up, intensifies and goes through this bomb psych klobuchar genesis and it's the wind that is concerning here. it's going to reduce our visibility to zero. we'll likely see more flight cancellations and complete closures of airports. lake michigan, lake superior, huron but still considerable amount of snow for places like minneapolis, st. louis, as well as chicago.

check out these forecast wind gusts. you can spot the cold front right there as it races eastward. we're going to see the wind pick up thursday afternoon for chicago o'hare and then really start to howell overnight into friday morning. that is when we anticipate the worst of the storm as it sets up shop in the great lakes. temperatures are going to be very, very cold and this storm means business. in fact, the national weather service using terminology like life threatening wind chills where you could be outside on any exposed skin and receive frostbite in less than five minutes. 80% of the country. every state in the lower 48 will feel the arctic air and temperatures below freezing. about 50 million americans will feel temperatures below zero degrees. that's not a typo. negative 50, that is a factor from billings, montana. more from minneapolis, deloitte, and that's what it will feel like on your exposed skin.

do take care if you are traveling. cancel your plans and rearrange the travel dates if at all possible. it is about to be a tough week for travel. some of you may want to consider changing your flights already depending where you're going. some airlines are even encouraging you to change your flights. you may have received the email from one of those airlines. united airlines says 1408 airports are included on the latest travel waiver. that means you can change your flight completely free of charge if your flight is to, from, or through one of those airports. that means no change fee. no increase in fare. american and southwest have issued similar travel wavers. the bulk of the storm is coming for some major hubs like chicago o'hare. that's a big hub for american and united. scott keys of scott's cheap flights says airlines may try to reroute around the most impacted airports but there's just not as

much slack in the system nowadays as there was back before the pandemic. there are fewer seats available that will make this a lot tougher for folks traveling towards the end of this week. pete muntean, cnn, washington. there are shortage of children's pain and fever medication that could last through the spring. most products are flying off the shelves because of high rates of respiratory infections across the country. pharmacies across the u.s. are limiting sales of the drug and directing customers to stores with children's medication. elon musk is calling it quits as twitter's ceo and he will step down and abide by the twitter poll he created. 57% of users voted for him to resign. first musk says he needs to identify a successor or as he put it, someone foolish enough to take on the job. he'll run the software teams. since acquiring twitter more

than 2 months ago, musk has faced backlash over layoffs, the silencing of journalists and a variety of unpopular policy changes as well. still to come, a cnn exclusive. a donald trump-backed attorney urged a witness to mislead the january 6th committee. plus, the supreme court could soon decide the fate of trump era border policy of 42. the biden administration is asking for an exception. international condemnation as the taliban issues another edict cracking down on women's rights in afghanistan. we'll have a live report. so g. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now get relief without a pill with tylenol disissolve packs. relief without the water. it makes it really e easy and seamless pick an order

a significant development in the january 6th investigation. sources say the house committee investigating the u.s. capitol riots and donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election have started handing over evidence from its probe to the justice department. the panel is recommending criminal charges against the former president and others. here's cnn's sara murray.

>> reporter: they started handing over materials related to mark meadows, who is the former white house chief of staff, including the mark meadows text messages that the house select committee obtained. they've also started handing over information related to john eastman. he's an attorney who worked on the various election schemes with the former president and they have begun handing over information on the fake slate of electors. the committee is handing the ball over to doj. doj has had a robust investigation and wants to make sure it can get as much evidence as possible from the house select committee. >> sara murray there. a federal appeals court is asking the justice department to weigh in on whether trump should be protected by absolute immunity in civil lawsuits brought against him for his alleged role in the attack. the doj responds next month. it's the first time they will take a position on how far it

extends. the committee declined to identify who was involved but our sources are weighing in with details. cai caitlyn polantz has exclusive reporting. >> reporter: the house select committee said they received a range of evidence with specific efforts to obstruct their investigation. they had anonymous people, the client and the lawyer. now cnn is able to confirm through reporting from pamela brown, jeremy herb and i that this is about a lawyer named stefan pasintino and it's about his work for cassidy hutchins. he was a lawyer in trump's white house and he started a political law firm. they have been paid hundreds of

thousands of dollars. that included payment for pasintino to represent cassidy hutchinson in the house probe. that was before she was preparing to testify publicly. she got a new lawyer at that time, became the house's star witness. now the house is publicly raising concerns about her setup with this former lawyer of hers, stefan pasintino. they have other concerns and it's a long list. this lawyer was telling her not to recall facts she did recall, not to clarify testimony she believed was inaccurate and on something that would cast a bad light on donald trump, he told her, we don't want to go there. we tonight want to talk about that. that's according to the committee which spoke with cassidy hutchinson many times. they did reach out to pasintino and he's not been charged with any crime. he represented cassidy hutchinson ethically is what he says and she was truthful with the committee when he was

sheparding her through the activity. he is a he's taking a leave of absence from his firm. cassidy hutchinson spoke to federal investigators about this and it could be something that's part of the justice department investigation if it is not already. caitlyn polantz, cnn, washington. we're about five hours away from the opening bell on wall street. investors see the markets rally after stocks snapped a four-day losing streak on tuesday. sam bankman-fried's days in the bahamas literally numbered. he's expected to be back in a nassau courtroom in just a few hours. it's expected to be his final extradition hearing before being sent to the u.s. he faces an eight-count criminal indictment in new york on charges th

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster. if you are just joining us, let me bring you up to speed. volodymyr zelenskyy is on his way to washington to meet with u.s. president joe biden who's expected to pledge an additional military aid package for ukraine worth almost $2 billion. president zelenskyy will address a joint meeting of congress. trump's tax returns will be released. the members of the house committee that voted to release those documents say it's not just about trump here, it's also a check on the irs and enforcing laws equally. laura coates spoke with congressman dan kilde of michigan. >> we initiated this in 2019 with the intention of determining whether we needed to take up legislation to address what seemed to be a weakness in

the audit of presidents. the president kept talking about his returns being under audit. he failed to release his returns as every president since nixon has done. so a big question mark hung over this. what we needed to get the facts and so we asked for the facts to determine whether the irs was properly enforcing the law on the president of the united states. the reason it took so long is because of donald trump, because of those who support him. many of the same republicans now crying foul supported his effort to sue us, to delay, delay, delay until finally the supreme court of the united states just a few weeks ago said, no, the ways and means committee is correct. these documents should be delivered to them and so we've had just a couple of weeks to examine the information, come to the conclusion that yes, legislation is warranted. craft that legislation and now hopefully move that to the floor of the house of representatives.

trump is a unique is individual in the presidency, a person with hundreds of different, you know, corporate identities that he can hide behind, move money in between so it is a unique set of circumstances for sure, but president trump could have answered one of these two questions if he had simply done what he said he would do, and that is he himself release his tax returns. remember, going all the way back to 2015 he kept saying over and over again, he'll release his returns and we've been waiting all this time. we still would have had to seek under section 6103 of the tax code information about whether the irs was properly auditing those returns, but he could have resolved the big question that the republicans seem to have such a big difficulty with, that is the release of the tax returns themselves. he promised to do it. we need that information now because of the questions that have arisen around whether or not the irs did its job. i worry more about the president that says we have suspicion that

there's something going on. the irs is not doing its job. the president's returns are complex and raise a lot of questions. the precedent that i want to avoid is congress saying, meh, too bad. he's the president. there's one set of rules for people like him and another set of rules for the hundreds of thousands of americans who for no other reason other than getting a child tax credit are facing an audit by the irs. that is a precedent we don't -- we don't want to enforce and reinforce this precedent that people at the very top of the economy have their own special set of rules. donald trump has operated as if he was exempt. finally he's being held to account. >> the biden administration is asking the supreme court to end the trump era pandemic policy from restricting migrants from entering the u.s. but not for at least a week.

it's requesting the -- rejecting the request to keep title 42. it needs time to wind down the program. cities and states on the southern border are preparing for massive influx of migrants once restrictions are lifted. department of homeland security says officials have moved more than 9,000 migrants out of el paso, texas. they say two vacant schools will be used as temporary shelters for migrants. meanwhile, hundreds of migrants are arriving daily in brownsville, texas. cnn's rosa flores spoke to some of them. >> reporter: they left native venezuela full of dreams three months ago. he made it to south texas after being processed by immigration authorities. she did not. what happened to your mother? he said they were traveling through the darien gap, a

mountainous jungle. >> translator: he says he was helping his mother cross and she grabbed a branch and then she fell down a cliff and into the river he says that he'll never forget the look in his mother's eyes. >> reporter: he is one of more than 300 migrants who are processed by border patrol and dropped off in brownsville every day says migrant advocate. >> our worry is are we going to be able to order the supplies that we need? >> reporter: late monday the trump era policy that allows agents to return migrants to mexico was paused. the decision, easing concerns about the sudden surge of migrants at the border that's expected when the rule ends. >> quite honestly we're relieved that it's been extended. we were preparing for the worst. we were almost already to

capacity in some of our locations. >> reporter: i'm in brownsville, texas, and just across the river there are thousands of migrants, mostly venezuelans and haitians who are living in camps and on the streets. i've been talking to them. what do you think about title 42 staying in place? they say they're happy title 42 is still in effect but they're also preparing for the worst. buying inflatable rafts to cross the rio grande if they're not allowed to enter legally. in mack allen, texas, border patrol is dropping off 450 migrants a day says the director. pimentel is monitoring the anxiety that is growing across the river where there's an estimated 8,000 migrants in packed shelters and open air camps according to advocates. >> it's not safe to be in mexico because of the fact they're exposed to all of the elements

and exposed to the dangers. >> reporter: the dangers that still haunt brian after his mother's death. what two see in her eyes? >> fear. sadness. >> reporter: brian says seeing his mother's photos is painful, especially this one. his mom is not in the photo. she took the picture days before she perished. i've been messaging with brian and he said the other thing he can't forget is the smell of death in the darien gap and that just speaks to risks migrants are willing to take to come here for a better life. one of the things i keep hearing from migrants is they have sold everything in their home countries to come here to the united states and it's all part of misinformation. they say simply word has spread that the u.s. southern border is open and of course the united states says that that's not the case. but the back and forth with

title 42 is not helping in their messaging. rosa flores, cnn, brownsville, texas. meanwhile, new york governor kathy hochul is thanking lawmakers for money to support asylum seekers in new york state. they're trying to provide relief for areas overwhelmed by asylum seekers. this comes as bus loads of migrants are arriving daily. another crackdown on women's rights. the taliban has suspended university education for all female students in afghanistan. human rights watch called the decision shameful. the u.n. secretary general said he's alarmed. the u.s. also strongly condemned the move. the taliban had promised a more moderate government after seeding the area.

schools have closed and women have to cover their faces in public. cnn's nada bashir has been covering this. >> taliban since its takeover has been trying to project a more moderate image but since that takeover we have seen the taliban flattening those pledges, rolling back the fundamental rights and rights that women have fought so hard for over the last two decades. now of course this is shocking and troubling news for women and girls attending university. just a few months ago many would have been taking entrance exams across the country with hopes of going to university. we have seen restrictions in education over the last few months as you laid out there. back in march we saw access to secondary school being closed permanently for young girls. we've seen segregation being enforced in universities.

this is all part of the taliban's efforts to roll back the freedoms, to tighten those restrictions. we've seen that condemnation once again from the international community. what we will likely see now is the taliban becoming even more isolated from the international community. we've heard from the united states, the state department spokesperson just yesterday condemning the taliban's position. he had this statement to make. >> the taliban have permanently sentenced afghan women to a darker and more barron future without opportunity. no country can thrive when half of its population is arbitrarily held back. education is an internationally recognized human right and it is essential to afghanistan's economic growth and stability. >> the concern is as it becomes even more isolated from the international community, we could see the taliban taking harsher measures against women and girls. you may see a further rolling

back of the fundamental rights and freedoms. >> nada, thank you. cities facing a major concern of covid-19 infections. why we may never know the full total after an abrbrupt end to e zero covid policy. some are of intensity, others, joy. all are ofof - ahhhh. listerine. feel the whoaoa! when we started selling my health products online our shipping process was painfully slow. then we found shipstation. w we're shipping out orders 5 times faster and we're saving a ton go to shipstation.com /tv and ge2 months free.

stunning individual yes shows the moment a train collided with a truck in tennessee. the truck was carrying a 130 foot beam that stopped on the track. authorities say despite the railroad crossing warning signs -- >> two crew members on board the train were injured. some of the train's fuel spilled but emergency responders were able to contain it. two people are dead after a major earthquake rocked northern california.

the 6.4 magnitude quake hit early on tuesday morning shaking people in their sleep and damaging roads and buildings. there are also 12 reported injuries. about 15,000 homes and businesses in the area remain without power 24 hours after the quake. a state of emergency is in place allowing disaster assistance to flow into the affected areas. china is narrowing its definition of covid-related deaths in the face of an unprecedented surge of cases. the count will be patients only who died of respiratory failure. that decision raises real concerns that officials are trying to keep the true scale of the outbreak under wraps. cnn's celina wang reports from beijing. >> reporter: china has only reported a few covid deaths since abandoning the zero covid policy. what we see on the ground tells a different story. >> there is a long line of cars that snakes across this entire area, cars waiting to get into

that cremation area. in the parking lot it's completely full of cars. i'm speaking here because there are security guards patrolling the area. a man said his friend passed away from the fever but the hospital didn't say why. they're waiting here for hours. they have no idea whether his friend's body can get cream mated. >> it's not just in beijing. cream ma tore yums and funeral homes are overwhelmed. this funeral home the man is saying it's going insane. families wait and stand with no idea how long they have to wait before their beloved ones can be cream mated. a new study by hong kong

researchers estimates nearly 1 million people in china could die from covid if they don't take necessary public health measures like increased vaccinations. long lines are forming across the country outside of hospitals. people wait for hours outside in the cold rain. crowds form outside in hospitals. ground zero of the original outbreak. this is a covid designated hospital in beijing. there's been a steady stream of elderly patients in wheelchairs being led into this hospital. i spoke to a man who's been waiting outside for his elderly family member who is very sick with a high fever but this hospital is running out of space. are you busy, i ask this worker. the yes, extremely busy. we work through the evenings. did a lot of people die here? yes, every day. is it all because of covid? yes. he said.

people with underlying conditions. the country's covid strategy has suddenly swung from one extreme to another. this is what the metropolis looked like a month ago, a ghost city. now the government announced on primetime television people who have covid, as long as they are only mildly sick or asymptomatic, they can return to work but people are still scared to go out. restaurants and shopping malls barely have any customers. subways across major cities are easterly empty. none of this is stopping chinese state media as hailing it as victory after victory as the chinese people feel they are suddenly left to fend for themselves. celina wang, cnn, beijing. just ahead, parade pandemonium. millions turned out in argentina to greet the world cup champions. the celebrations got a bit out
