>> reporter: millions of people experiencing what the weather service is calling a once in a generation type event. >> the delays and cancellations at chicago international airport keep piling up. more and more flights canceled. >> reporter: nearly two years after the january 6th attack on the capitol, the committee tasked with all aspects of that attack has finally released its report. >> our goal is not to just end the conflict, on the con rare ri, to end this war. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> friday, december 23rd. 9 a.m. here in london, 4 a.m. on the east coast. a frigid and potentially deadly

arctic blast sweeps from one coast to the other that shattered cold temperature records. even president biden is issuing a warning. >> it's not like a snow day when you're a kid. this is serious stuff. please, take this storm extremely seriously. >> now more than half of the u.s. population, around 170 million people, are under winter alerts for snow and icy conditions that are bad and getting even worse. those hitting the road see family for the holidays, you might want to reconsider. this is what it's like trying to drive in cheyenne, wyoming. for those who are looking to fly, that's a wild card. airlines have canceled 128,000 flights. homes and businesses are without power. that number is also growing. cnn has reporters across the u.s. covering this.

britt britley ritz is with us. pete muntean is at the airport in chicago. lucy cavanaugh is in denver, colorado. omar jimenez is in chicago. first we'll head to britley for the conditions. >> that arctic air pushing down into texas and through the ohio valley and southeast. we have actual temperatures below zero. des moines, 9 below. that's fahrenheit. when we factor in the wind, that's what counts. the wind chill. what it feels like to your skin. 39 degrees below zero. wind gusts in indianapolis, 41 miles per hour. sustained winds near 30 miles per hour and only expected to get stronger as the snow deepers over the great lakes. hence, the wind chill warnings in effect across the great plains and texas and ohio valley and slowly moving in to new england. as that front moves through, expect many of us to be below

freezing for many hours. jackson, mississippi, 84 hours. that's your forecast to be below freezing which means we could wind up with freezing pipes if we're not careful. 65 degrees, that's where your house needs to be set at least, if not warmer. open up the doors to where the pipes are and also make sure you're dripping your faucets. the water is moving, that friction helps. not only that, we could be dealing with frostbite dangers. 5 to 10 minutes, wind chills going to be 35 to 45 degrees below and that is going to be the case over the next three days for many of us. minneapolis, expect wind chills down past 20 below. same for us in chicago and des moines. not only the cold but the snow with the winds factored in. the snow doesn't have to be deep, it's dry air. it's a very dry snowflake. blizzard warnings in the northern plains and the great lakes and northern new york like buffalo and water town. these areas have been dealing

with blizzard conditions. 1/4 of a mile. that's it. 1/4 of a mile down to zero visibility in some of these locations. so travel just not advised across the great lakes. this is where we're expected to be dealing with most of the snowfall, especially on the eastern side of lake michigan back on up through ontario as well as lake erie. these are areas that again have picked up numerous amounts of snow and nearly 2 feet expected neared buffalo. that snow is coming down through the ohio valley. heavy bands. moving through the miami valley and back on up into the great lakes as we speak. so please heed the warning. don't travel if you don't have to. max? >> britley, thank you. while millions of americans are bracing for the worst weather still to come, people in the plains and midwest feeling the frigid impact. lucy cavanaugh reports from denver, colorado. >> reporter: millions of people experiencing the peak of what

the weather service is calling a once in a generation type event. others still bracing. the bomb cyclone producing ice and snow is impacting more than 105 million people across the country. winter alerts from coast to coast for snow and icy conditions. the dangerous cold has over 150 million people or nearly half the u.s. population under wind chill alerts with below zero wind chills as far south as texas. in the midwest, more than a foot of snow and possible blizzard conditions expected. south dakota's famous sioux falls frozen. the in some parts of kansas the national weather service reporting wind chills below negative 30. there and in the plains the cold expected to stick around for christmas weekend. likely making it the coldest christmas there in roughly 40 years. >> your nose hairs literally freeze. >> they're feeling the arctic

blast. >> it's cold but when it's negative 20, it's another level. >> slick ice and snowmaking driving conditions dangerous. abandoned vehicles. stranded drivers. >> people have things in their vehicles, kits ready to be deployed if they get stuck in their vehicles somewhere. >> weather hazards causing road closures in various parts of the country. zero visibility making it hard for emergency workers to respond. >> hand warmers, some socks, a bean any. >> they said it's going to be cold. get off the streets. be right on it. >> reporter: buses of people seeking shelter at the denver coliseum to stay out of the freezing cold. it may look like things are getting back to normal. the sun is out. it still feels incredibly cold. in fact, the city of denver is

opening up new warming centers. there is some relief on the horizon. we are expecting temperatures to go back up slowly but surely on friday and by christmas day we could be seeing highs of 50 degrees. of course, there is less relief in sight for the rest of the country. lucy cavanaugh, cnn, denver. the extreme cold temperatures and bomb cyclone are wreaking havoc for people hoping to travel this holiday weekend. more than 2800 u.s. flights are canceled today. that number is growing very quickly. that according to the tracking website flight aware. many travelers on our left stranded or with few options during one of the busiest times of the year. pete muntean has more from o'hare airport in chicago. >> reporter: the delays and cancellations at chicago o'hare international airport keep piling up. look at the cancellation board. more and more flights. buffalo, binghamton, new york,

l.a. san francisco. the numbers are in the thousands and will continue on friday. about 1/4 of all flights have been canceled here at chicago o'hare which is a crucial airport for connections. it is a major hub for american airlines. it is the biggest hub for united airlines. i got to go behind the scenes and it is working around the clock meeting every hour with meteorologists to try and make it so that passengers make their connections, putting them on different flights to different connecting airports. want you to listen now to some of the passengers who heeded the advice of airlines to try and change their trips to earlier departures. >> we left extra time because there's so much -- the lines are huge. leave a lot of time. >> be patient. plan ahead. they're doing the best they can. honestly, so far so good for us. we came early enough to hopefully make it and hopefully the plane will take off today and we'll get out and get to orlando to see our family. >> did you change your plans? >> we pushed our flight up a

little bit and we left the house at least an hour earlier. >> airline's advice is to download the app. that's the best way to get up to the minute information about what flight is delayed or canceled and how to get on a new flight. pete muntean, cnn, chicago. now to washington where the house committee investigating january 6th has released the final report without specifically mentioning donald trump. the panel concludes anyone who is responsible for an insurrection should be barred from seeking public office. cnn's justice correspondent jessica schneider has our report. >> reporter: nearly two years after the january 6th attack on the capitol, the committee tasked with investigating all aspects of that attack has finally released its report. it comes nearly two days after the committee expected to release it all because of typographical errors and printing issues but it is nearly 900 pages with a comprehensive

narrative of what happened before, during, immediately after. it lays out 11 specific recommendations from the committee about how various agencies and congress can move forward. key among the recommendations is the committee is pointing to a section of the constitution, the 14th amendment, section 3 that clearly states that anyone who is engaged in an insurrection can be disqualified from holding office. the committee says that constitutional provision should be enforced. they don't say it directly. the take away is they believe donald trump should be barred from holding office again, especially because he has now announced his plan to run in 2024. the committee separately is also pushing for passage of the presidential election reform act. that would make clear that vice presidents do not have the power to overturn elections, of course as trump pressured pence to do. the committee is also recommending that federal intelligence and security agencies take a much closer look

at the dangers of violent extremism, especially since members of the proud boys and oath keepers were at the forefront of the capitol attack. plus, there's a host of new details in the 800 plus page report including about how john eastman first contacted donald trump at the white house on december 23rd, 2020, almost exactly two years ago. pence refused to overturn the election and also how a little known attorney named kenneth cheeseboro came up with the plot to appoint fake electors in battleground states to try to claim that trump had won in the states. crucially here, that fake elector plot is exactly what is now being investigated by state prosecutors, including in georgia. also, federal prosecutors from the special counsel's office. those prosecutor's from the special counsel's office, they have served subpoenas to electors in several battleground

states as part of the investigation. the committee wrapping up its report but still potentially a long way to go on the criminal side. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. i spoke last hour with rita martin. i asked her about the report's conclusion that the riots on january 6th would not have happened without donald trump. >> no doubt about it, max. this 800 plus page report makes it very clear that there is one person responsible for the january 6th insurrection and that one person is donald trump. they make that very clear without ever really mentioning his name. and they provide four referrals to the department of justice for criminal charges to be filed against donald trump. in fact, they lay out a roadmap for federal prosecutors giving just insurmountable amounts of evidence that leads to the conclusion that donald trump incited the riot that we saw

take place, the insurrection we saw on january 6th. that he refused to accept the reality that was told to him over and over again by his closest aides, the reality that he had lost the election and be that there wasn't any widespread voter fraud and what we know now is that he despite that information just kept plowing ahead, trying to overturn the will of the people. >> well, the u.s. senate has passed a massive $1.7 trillion government spending bella verdicting a shutdown. it will keep critical operations going across several federal agencies. the house has to sign off before funding runs out at the end of the day today. many republicans weren't happy with the results and said they wanted more cooperation with their counterparts in the house. >> i think whenever we're adding a trillion dollars debt, borrowing money from my grandchildren, of course i'm totally disappointed. i think we could have gotten a

much better deal done over at the house side. we go back to a situation where we address one bucket at a time. >> mccarthy was clear publicly and he was at our lunch yesterday that he would welcome the opportunity to do some real work in the house. >> if you don't like the spending deal, why don't you object? >> well, the votes were closer. it's going to pass. what can you do? >> now the bill includes about $45 billion in emergency aid to ukraine and another $38 billion to respond to natural disasters. it upholds the electoral count act and bans tiktok on federally issued electronic devices. russia's president makes a big statement by saying a three letter world. he calls the war in ukraine, what it is, a war. we'll explain what it is. making a long journey to the u.s. only to be sent back to the

bored wither. how some migrants lose a chance in the u.s. despite a tough effort to get there. china is seeing a new and deadly wave of covid-19 and that could mean trouble for the rest of the world. stay with us. something going ard the gordon home. good thing gertrude found delsym. now what's going around is 12-hour cough relief. and the giggles. the family that takekes delsym together, feels better together.

we're following a developing story this hour as stanlouth ko says two ballistic missiles have been launched. this marks the 36th day this year that north korea has launched at least one missile. u.s. and south korea are wondering whether they could be preparing for their first nuclear test in five years. ukrainian president zelenskyy is back in kyiv. he posted this video of him in his office a short while ago. whilst in washington mr. zelenskyy secured a new batch of military aid including the patriot missile defense system. earlier he had this to say about his visit. >> translator: i'm coming back from washington, coming with

good results that will really help. when we say patriots in ukraine and in themo on them a bit late.

>> the kremlin was quick to respond saying ukraine and its allies are setting itself up for a long war with russia. president putin claims kyiv is getting the patriot missile defense system and it's not really a game changer. >> translator: well, as for the patriots, this is a rather old system and it doesn't work like our rs 300. well, nevertheless, those who

oppose us proceed to say this is a supposedly defensive weapon. okay, well, just keep that in mind and there is always an antidote and be those who are doing this are doing it in vain. >> mr. putin raising his invasion of ukraine what it really is, a war. that's the change on calling it a special military operation. take a listen. >> translator: our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict but on the contrary, to end this war. we have been and will continue to strive for this. >> more on that, nada bashir joins us. stark hearing him say that. the question is, was it intentional or could it be a slip of the tongue? >> potentially. president putin is very well known for being careful to choose his words. he has been quite careful over the last few months since russia's invasion of ukraine

began. he did use the word war. there is no consent whether it was a slip of the tongue or intentional. there is some debate around that. an early u.s. government assessment is this may well have been a slip of the tongue but of course officials will be watching quite carefully to see whether president putin uses it again, whether this marks a shift in rhetoric from putin or indeed the kremlin when it comes to discussing the situation in ukraine, the war in ukraine and whether that translates to any shifts in translation on the ground. we did listen to putin. he answered numerous conditions on ukraine. he retraces what the kremlin has said before which is that the kremlin, russia remains open to the possibility of future negotiations, at least from russia's perspective. take a listen. >> translator: this leadership of ukraine forbade itself to

negotiate. sooner or later any parties in a state of conflict will sit down and negotiate. the sooner this comes to those who oppose us the better. we never gave up on it. >> of course, the kremlin has long maintained it is open to talks with ukraine. president putin and the kremlin have blamed ukraine for not being willing to take part of those talks. president volodymyr zelenskyy has ruled out talking with putin directly. following that landmark meeting between president zelenskyy and president biden, we her the from dmitry peskov, he said it was clear neither leader showed any willingness to listen to any of russia's concerns. the likelihood of talks doesn't seem possible. we've found the signing of a new aid deal. that could ramp up tensions. we've seen a bombardment in

kherson. >> thank you. wnba star brittney griner is asking americans to write letters to her supporters following her release from russia. she posted a photo of the handwritten letter on instagram. in it she urged her fans to write to paul whelan saying in part i hope you'll join me in writing to paul whelan and advocating for other americans to be rescued. he's been detained in russia since 2018. women in afghanistan are protesting against the taliban's latest crackdown on their rights. this time banning women from universities. on thursday dozens of students and female activists marched in kabul. organizers of the protests say the taliban detained several people before releasing them. the taliban say the ban is

because women were violating the strict dress code and other, quote, islamic dress code. the interaction between male and female students was nother. world leaders are reversing the taliban to reverse it. the taliban are hurting its desire for improved relations with the world. >> and the bottom line is that no country is going to be able to succeed, much less thrive if it denies half its population the ability to contribute. to be clear, we're engaged with other countries on this right now, there are going to be costs if this is not reversed, if this is not changed. the dream of coming to a u.s. comes to a screeching halt for some migrants reaching or crossing the border. how one legal rule determines who can stay and who can go. snow plows and salt trucks out in force across the u.s. as a huge winter storm blankets the nation.

we'll have a report from chicago after the break.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster. if you are just joining us, let me bring you up to date with the top stories this hour. the final report from the january 6th select committee is public. it included over 1,000 interviews and documents, emails, texts, interviews. 170 million people are under wind chill and winter weather alerts. more than 2900 flights have already been canceled for friday as people try to make it to

their holiday destinations. we'll have more at the top of the next hour. the number of flights canceled across the u.s. has been steadily going up over the past few hours. right now more than 2900 flights have been canceled today. airlines are giving out weather wavers. here's what a couple of travelers had to say to us. >> they canceled the flight as everyone got boarded because the wings froze is what they said. >> it was a little crazy in midway. everybody was trying to get out before the storm. >> it's not just air travel being affected by the frigid weather. amtrak has delayed or canceled passenger service for some of its routes in the midwest and northeast. for people traveling by bus, greyhound is warning people traveling in the midwest. states of emergency have been declared by a number of governors as the once in a

generation storm bears down. cnn's omar jimenez reports from chicago. >> reporter: it's not just snow, it's wind and cold as part of a huge winter system descending onto the u.s. just days before christmas. over this week more than 80% of the country's population will see at or below freezing temperatures. some places way below, dropping 40 degrees hitting negative 15 by thursday morning. in wyoming, zero visibility and temperatures 60 degrees below zero. elsewhere, parts of the midwest are doing what they can to keep up. one of the biggest concerns in the winter system like this is the roads. this dome is part of what it takes in a city like chicago. you're looking at 50,000 tons of salt inside that crews come in

and out of over the course of the day to try and help keep these roads somewhat manageable. the city has about 400,000 tons of salt and 300 vehicles in its arsenal to fight back on the second official day of winter. >> the goal is to keep up with it but we're going to be fighting the wind. if you can have a conversation with young drivers, first-time drivers, kids coming home from college trying to get home, just have that conversation with the young drivers because this is a little bit different event. >> reporter: cold and snow is no different to chicago, minneapolis and buffalo. >> some meteorologists are calling this a once in a generation event. >> reporter: even atlanta is forecast to have wind chill in the negatives friday. >> communities across the state are about to see temperatures that they haven't experienced in a decade or more. >> reporter: the message is the same, even for places used to

dealing with bad weathers. it's the combination of snow, wind gusts and the demand to get home for christmas. it could mean disaster, especially on the roads where aaa estimates the majority of those traveling this holiday week. >> it's not like a snow day. >> now you can see the snow but you can also see me. the fear for officials here is that as this snow subsides in the overnight hours and basically just lays on the ground with it, very pretty like it does behind me, the wind is going to turn things ugly pretty quick whipping around and winds that are supposed to pick up in the overnight hours and through friday that, again, officials fear can reduce visibility significantly, especially on the roads that people might be taking to try to get home for christmas. omar jimenez, cnn, chicago.

>> weather and life threatening conditions reaching all the way through america's southern border. warning migrants to stay away. below freezing temperatures are expected throughout the next several days. authorities stress no one should risk their lives or that of their loved ones. this as many migrants are sleeping out in the cold and camps along the border as they wait to find out about the future of title 42, the trump era policy allowing the u.s. to expel migrants in the name of covid prevention. one woman says the policy has impacted her efforts to reach the u.s. >> translator: we already experienced a very ugly process in mexico. we were imprisoned for seven days. there they separated us. prison conditions are horrible. they treated us like criminals. they didn't give us food. we suffered a lot. we did not want to turn

ourselves risk being returned to us and not having money to continue. >> cnn meant one migrant family who experienced that, turning themselves in only to be sent right back to mexico. ed lavandera has their story. >> reporter: when jason and his wife walked across the rio grande with their two children last week, the family felt like they had finally escaped their lives in venezuela's socialist nightmare. they were overwhelmed tears of relief and joy. they survived an often terrifying 2 1/2 month journey traveling from south america, central america into mexico. >> did you think reaching this point was going to be so emotional? he says they never thought the journey from venezuela was going to be so painful. she said they took this risk for

their children. the family stepped across the rio grande thinking they had reached the mountain top. where are you? the family is now in mexico city. jason says the day after the family turned themselves in to u.s. border agents they were flown to south texas and bussed across the border. he says mexican officials then drove them and a bus full of migrants to mexico city. it took just five days to get pushed back down the mountain. >> reporter: this has to be very confusing for you. i don't understand it, he says. we were all scared on the airplane. we didn't know what was going to happen. we didn't even get a chance to ask for asylum. >> reporter: there are hundreds of migrants lining up to get in but getting in is far from guaranteed. the department of homeland security reports 3400 migrants

have been expelled under title 42. >> reporter: thousands of migrants keep turning themselves into border authorities. title 42 is still being used to quickly expel migrants. it's a confusing system and difficult for those migrants to figure out who stays and who g goes. jason and zulema now have to figure out what to do next. when i saw you crossing into the u.s. you were crying. have you lost faith? i'm an optimist, he says. i hope to touch someone's heart. my wife and son are depressed. we just want an opportunity. right before jason, zulema and their children crossed the rio grande last week, they were so hopeful they snapped this family selfie. jason says his family will not forget touching u.s. soil, even if it was just for a brief

moment. >> he says it was a strong blow to be sent back to mexico but he doesn't want to give up and that he wants to do whatever is necessary to give his wife and children a better life. >> reporter: as title 42 remains in legal limbo at the u.s. supreme court, many families like jason, zulema and his two children will face a similar fate. the question becomes what will they all do when they have a greater sense of desperation of reaching the united states. ed lavandera, cnn, el paso, texas. now a report said the economy grew at a faster rate than expected. most people would think that's good news. coming up, why investigator's negative reaction. people are filling hospitals and crematoriums. why this could be new trouble for r the u.s. and the rest of e world.

u.s. stocks dipped on thursday and there is a strong ger than expected gdp report. rates could be raised more than expected in 2023. the main three indices fell with the dow dropping 700 points. it rebounded 350 points in red. it gets underway in five hours time. here's where u. ss. falls. the european markets are up and run running. this is how they look. all pretty positive across from paris. across asia it was red across the board but not hugely so.

the commerce department said the gdp grew at 3.2% from july and december well above a 2.9% estimate. the stronger than expected reading was due to increases in exports and consumer spending. the u.s. labor market continues to be tight though. jobless claims for the week ending december 17th came in at 216,000. that's an increase of about 2,000 less than analysts had predicted. continuing claims drop by 6,000. a peak of more than 800,000. the winter storm impacting more than 170 million americans is going to be expensive as well. the households will need to crank up the heat. the bill they'll get will heat up their wallets. the average heating cost this winter will be more than 35% higher than last winter. matt egan has a breakdown in the rise in heating costs.

>> reporter: cranking up the heat is going to unfortunately be a lot more expensive this winter. even before this storm experts were warning about sticker shock when it comes to heating your home. that's in large part because natural gas prices have soared. natural gas is the most popular way to heat homes. natural gas if you run on natural gas to heat your home, the government is saying it will be 25% more expensive this winter than last winter. heating oil. the key is that is sort of the base forecast. if temperatures are colder, then you're going to see even higher costs here. 10% colder winter would mean natural gas, home heating costs 35% more expensive. heating oil 52% more expensive. >> the former ceo of the bankrupt crypto company ftx is free on a $250 million bond.

sprea sam bankman-fried appeared before a judge and the terms include bond and electronic monitoring bracelet and being on house arrest at his parents' home in california. he's caccused of stealing billions of dollars. arraignment will happen at a later date. two of his top lieutenants, the former co-founder of ftx and leader of almeda research are facing charge in connection with that case. now after nearly three oo years of stringent covid lockdowns, china relaxes the zero covid strategy and health experts warn the rest of the world should wrabrace for the arrival of new variants. the warning comes as hundreds of health professionals went across china traveling to beijing as an unprecedented wave of infections ripples through the country. u.s. secretary of state

antony blinken spoke to his chinese counterpart. they say they discussed the covid-19 situation and the secretary underscored the importance of transparency for the international community. blinken said he wants to see china get this outbreak under control in part to keep any new covid variants from developing. live from hong kong and kristie lu stout has the story. frightening for the world and for china. >> reporter: absolutely. we don't have a true picture of how bad the picture is inside the country. concerns are rising about the true toll, the actual scale of the covid-19 infection inside china because the officials are not reliable. china is carrying out less covid testing because it is in the process of unwinding the draconian policy. china redefined, narrowed the definition of what constitutes a

and be surge of deaths across the country. hospitals as you see are overwhelmed. hospitals in beijing as well. in fact, there are reports of medics from other cities and provinces being sent to the chinese capitol to help out with surging cases. in beijing our crew went to a crematorium that's overwhelmed. they found a pile of yellow body bags piled up. pharmacies are selling out of fever and cold medications and people are scared. i want to show you this statement that we got from the president in beijing. she tells cnn this, quote, in the past five days i have many symptoms. i couldn't buy any medication to treat sore throat, coughing or

fever. none of the medicines are available, she tells us. antony blinken is calling for all countries to be transparent because a possible new variant emerging. any time the virus is spreading or moving around, there's the possibility that a new variant develops. that variant spreads further and it comes and spreads and hits us. blinken spoke with the chinese foreign minister to discuss ukraine, other issues. also discussing of course the covid-19 outbreak inside china emphasizing the need for transparency and for trying to be transparent with other countries. there was a response from china's ministry of foreign affairs in the last couple hours. saying china has, quote, always shared relevant information with the international community and

will continue to do so. back to you, max. >> kristie in hong kong, thank you. covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on overall life expectancy in the u.s. it fell to 76.1 years. that's 2 1/2 years less than it was and the lowest it was for a quarter of a century since 1996. u.s. centers for disease control said they were main contributors to the drop. however, heart disease and cancer were also factors. still ahead, remembering ronnie hillman. they are paying tribute to the former star running back who died on wednesday. nope. all in one and done. cuh-congestion? bebetter. cough? fever? better. mucinex all in one relieves 9 symptoms in 1 d dos. celebrate your comeback with $5 cash back.
