♪ good afternoon. i'm sara sidner in for victor blackwell. welcome to "cnn newsroom." the january 6th committee just released yet another big batch of witness interview transcripts from their investigation into the capitol insurrection. the new list includes interviews with 19 witnesses including the former president donald trump jr. and kimberly guilfoyle, christina baab, stephen miller and those to try to overturn the
11:02 am
election like doug mastriano. cnn's paula reid is joining me now. you're going through this. i know it's a lot. there are hundreds of people with many, many pages of transcripts. what has stood out to you so far? >> reporter: well, we have the support of a big team combing over this. sara, i want to start with some of the revelations in the transcript from donald trump jr. specifically, the transcript reveals new details about text messages that the former president exchanged with then white house chief of staff mark meadows. we've reported on some of these text messages, we're getting new details, new context. for example, you dive into a text message that donald trump jr. extent on january 6 to meadows where he said his father then president needs to condemn this expletive. he's encouraging meadows to press this father to condemn the violence on capitol hill. now, the committee pressed him and said, well, why didn't you reach out to your father yourself? why are you going through mark meadows?
11:03 am
he said my father doesn't text and he believed he would reach out to mark meadows to do this on his behalf. it's interesting to see donald trump jr. asking his father to condemn the violence on january 6th. you go back two months to november 5th, there were other text messages that he was actually sending to mark meadows, outlining strategies, sharing ideas for how his father could remain in power. what's interesting, in these text messages, he's basically outlining a strategy that is nearly identical to the one that was ultimately adopted by his father and his allies as they attempted to undermine the certification of the electoral college over the next two months. now, what's also interesting here, donald trump jr. says he doesn't remember where the ideas came from. who sent him the strategy. he was just passing along the idea that he said seemed the most well laid out. also notable that mark meadows, throughout the transcript, over the past week or so as we've been looking through these, sara, mark meadows is at the
11:04 am
center of so many of the most interesting and notable moments in everything that's been laid out. here, you have him being the one receiving these ideas, receiving these outlines, also being the one that people are trying to communicate to the president through. also in the past few days, questions about him burning paper in his office, helping people get pardons, so many questions from the former white house chief of staff out of these transcripts. >> it seems that all roads lead almost through mark meadows. then there's an interesting quote from trump lawyer christina baab regarding senator lindsey graham. tell us about that. >> this is interesting, sara, i will say. baab bobb remembered telling mark meadows that he would love to champion the claims of election fraud and all he would need to do is, quote, five dead voters. she said -- she's quoting graham, give me an example, you know, a little voting, give me a
11:05 am
small snapshot that i can take and champion. just give me five dead voters. this exchange came before january 6th but it shows how the south carolina republican was willing to push the false claims of election fraud. and also how the white house was seeking out high-profile politicians. graham testified that actually got a memo titled chairman graham dead votes memo for your consideration. but bobb added he did nothing with that. the senator's office has not responded to comments on that. >> dead votes memo. it would be funny, but we saw what happened on january 6th, so it isn't. paula reid, thank you so much. to ukraine where cities across the country were hit with a barrage of russian missiles on thursday. one official calling it one of the largest missile attacks since russia's invasion began in
11:06 am
february. at least three are dead and seven others have been injured in these strikes. energy infrastructure was heavily damaged. here you can see crews battling a fire at the energy site in car kyiv. power is out in several regions. the ukrainian military said they intercepted and shot down 54 of the 69 russian cruise missiles. cnn senior international correspondent ben wedeman is live in kyiv, where one of the missiles landed. i think you're now back there kyiv there, ben, what kind of damage did you see? >> reporter: well, what we saw was two residential areas, where according to ukrainian officials debris from intercepted missiles hit the ground. now, the mayor says that 16 missiles were fired in the direction of the capital, and all of them were intercepted. now, we went to one residential area where there was really
11:07 am
widespread destruction. there, a 14-year-old girl was injured, as well as her mother. and a man nearby. now, the crews were quickly cleaning up the area. they're accustomed to that sort of thing. then, we went to another house where some debris had caused a large crater right next to their home. half of the house was completely destroyed, windows shattered. walls had collapsed. but the two men who were living inside, an elderly father and his adult son escaped only with scratches. but more than scratches happened elsewhere in kharkiv, two people were killed in the donetsk region, another person was killed. here in kyiv, 40% of the city is without electricity. the mayor has called upon people to stock up on water and charge their cell phones. in the city of kharkiv, four
11:08 am
missiles got through air defenses and hit critical energy infrastructure. and in the western city of lviv, 90% of that city is without electricity. and this is what president zelenskyy predicted several days ago, that the russians would try during this holiday period to, once again, knock out the country's energy infrastructure. sarah. >> ben, thank you for sharing all of that with us. and thank you and your crew for putting yourself in danger so that we can understand exactly what's going on, on the ground there. ben wedeman live from ukraine. we have breaking news and sad news, soccer legend pele has died at the age of 82. that is according to a statement released now by his family. they added everything that we are is always thanks to you. we love you infinity. rest in peace. the brazilian star's health had been deteriorated the recent
11:09 am
days as he continued his battle with cancer. don riddell has more on pelle's life. >> reporter: when the world knows you with one name you have truly succeeds. his humble demeanor and generous spirit has guaranteed his legacy as a global icon. >> you know, i feel very comfortable because something i cannot answer, was why god gave me this, you know, this gift. this was a gift from god. then i tried to be in my best. to respect people. i tried to prepare myself. tried to deal with good shape, you know. the most important respect to people. >> reporter: raised in the columns of sao paulo in the
11:10 am
1940s, he discovered football at a young age. he made his debut at the age of 16. within a year, he was scoring goals for the brazilian national team. by this time, he was better known by his nickname pele, in 1958, at 17, he became the youngest man to play in a world cup final, scoring twice as brazil beat sweden. it was the first of three world titles he'd help win for his country. he electrified audiences with his fancy footwork and ability to score seemingly and plausible goals. it was somewhat of a disappointment that his 1,000th goal was a penalty. >> and a comic guy in brazil, he say, listen, god has brought the game because everyone has to see your 1,000th goal. that's the reason why the penalty kick. >> reporter: after his goal, the
11:11 am
game was stopped several minutes to celebrate his landmark achievement. in 1967, pele learned that he and his team had the power to stop other things, too. when they visited nigeria prompted warring factions to call a 48-hour creease-fire in e war. >> they stopped the war because people are so crazy about football. they loved football. they stopped the war to see the ball played in africa. something you cannot explain. >> reporter: by the time pele returns as a footballer playing for the cosmos, he amassed 2,281 goals. for pele, that was a lifetime ago. he served as a u.n. ambassador for ecology and the environment. he rubbed shoulders with state leaders all over the world. and he received an honorary
11:12 am
knighthood from queen elizabeth in 1987. but who could forget his appearance in the movie "escape to victory." >> after scoring a goal, i do this, this, this, this -- easy. >> reporter: when he starred alongside michael caine and sylvester stallone playing a prisoner of war who scored a spectacular morale-boosting goal against the germans. >> first of all, it's a gift from god. second, it was a lot of work, had work and training. and i happened to say thanks to god because my father was a football player. a center forward. and then my father was a very known perfectionist. you know, ever since who i used to do, or tried to do, he used to say, listen, you must.
11:13 am
>> reporter: who else always been a global icon, but in his native brazil, he'll always be regarded as a national treasure. his passing is cause for national mourning and as he so humorously put it himself, there will never be another pele. >> to do that again would be very difficult, because my mother and father. >> what an incredible life, player and person that was cnn's don riddell. joining us now on the phone is chris whittingham, soccer analyst and commentator. first, to you about the impact of pele. everyone knows his name, even if you're not a sports fan, he is an icon in his own right. >> no question, i think when you look at the history of the sport in this country, you look at for
11:14 am
example, in the united states, he comes to play for the new york cosmos in the mid1970s. as a result, his name almost becomes synonymous with the sport because it was not terribly popular for several years. if you said the word "soccer" or the word football, you would say p p pele and say it in a variety of ways, pele, pele, you would know the notoriety in the name. he comes up from many generations of americans, and obviously, the world over is known as being someone so influential in the sport, championed the sport in brazil and around the world. a three-time world cup winner remains -- we just celebrated lionel messi for celebrating one. pele got left behind, he did it three, just because he did it in
11:15 am
black and white television, because he's not done it in this game. >> i was going to ask you about the comparisons. 1281 goals in his lifetime. you talked about him winning three world cups. one of the stories that i had heard about him and always struck me was during 1967, there were factions that were fighting a civil war in nigeria. and this is the power of pele. they agreed, two sides fighting, agreed to a cease-fire so he could play an exhibition match in nigeria. it just goes to show you the power that this man had to almost bring people together. he literally stopped the fighting so that he could just come and play and give people relief. do you have any stories that you particularly like to remember about pele? >> yeah, for me, i think it's just sort of his impact on the sport in the united states. i don't think it can be understated.
11:16 am
you talk to people who agnostic to soccer, in the united states. and even they, for a brief moment in time, in the mid1970s, when he played for the new york cosmos. and like you say, it's just his ability to present that impact almost no matter where he is. because it's very easy to suggest global celebrity now, right, we have social media and we have all of these abilities to sort of translate celebrity. but i think when you look at where the globe was back then, he wins a world cup in 1958 and again in 1962, in 1958, arrived to the brazil quad as a 17-year-old. and lit up that world cup and scored a goal in the final against sweden. and he from there becomes this one word that is synonymous with sport. and like you say, almost with diplomacy in a weird way. he can go any single place in the world and stop traffic. and stop what was going on. i remember growing up and hearing this man's name and it was like -- it was vaunted.
11:17 am
it was laudable. it was something that was synonymous with something that we can't even access, because it came from a different time. and, yeah, to me, the way he came to the united states and changed the way that americans viewed soccer was just sort of incredible. i think laid the groundwork with what we see with major league soccer, i think when a lot of big soccer stars head lined by pele came over was a huge part of it. >> he was a beautiful player in a beautiful game but also a beautiful spirit. he did a lot after soccer. and the one thing i think we all remember, anyone who has seen video of pele playing or got to see him in person, it is that famous bicycle kick. he made that famous. and you now see players doing it as well. but incredible athlete and person. and i do just want to end here with what his name really is. people call him pele, but actually his official name is
11:18 am
edson arrantes de -- we all know him as pele, he's gone from earth, but his memory remains. thank you so much, chris wittyngham. now to closed here closed were roads and we'll take you there live. and a fresh apology from southwest airlines. all while the airlines, new steps it's going to take to reimburse passengers whose holiday travel was ruined. those detatails are up next. the majority of people sawaw 9% clearer skin even at 5 years. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®.

chewy. the colossal failure of southwest airlines operations may be nearing an end finally. passengers are getting notices that the company expects to run a full schedule on friday, which so far has just 39 cancellations. compared to what has been happening on a daily basis, more than 2300. this caps a week of chaos that left tens of thousands travelers, abandoned, exhausted, and outraged. nearly 16,000 flights failed to
11:23 am
take off. that's just since last thursday. today, southwest issued a new apology and new ways for customers to get help. >> first, my personal apology, on behalf of myself and everyone at southwest airlines for all of this. second, a pledge to do everything we can, and to work day and night to repair our relationship with you. >> cnn's adrienne broaddus is at chicago international airport. adrienne, you've been telling some incredibly emotional stories people really, really worried and scared even for their life, because some of their items that they needed for medication were in their bags. but now you're going to tell us about some of the emotional reunions that you're finally seeing. so we've trended in a better direction. >> reporter: certainly, sara. i will say the past few days have been reminded me of a treasure hunt, with the luggage being the big prize.
11:24 am
if you're new to this story, and if you're able to see, i want you to take a look at your screen. this is what this baggage claim area looked like just yesterday. i wasn't able to walk through here because there were so many bags. the saycarousels were shut down. but those bags have been removed. they either went home with their rightful owner, or crews here that work at midway, and additional staff from chicago o'hare airport removed all of those bags yesterday to a secure location here at the airport. we're told that the next step, those bags will be transported to their original final destination. and as you mentioned, sara, southwest outlining the steps it wants passengers to take when it comes to compensation. first and foremost, southwest saying, a., please don't call us, our phone lines are overloaded right now. take care of this online. we're talking about filing a claim for your missing luggage.
11:25 am
filing another report, if you racked up some extra expenses because your flight was cancelled. and online is where you will request reimbursement. by contrast, we heard from a woman who was stranded in baltimore. she was trying to get to her sick grandmother. she did not make it. and her grandmother died on tuesday. that's one story of sadness that was shared with us. by contrast, we have seen moments of joy right here at midway. >> oh! oh! oh! oh! >> i just haven't had this bag in a week. i've been wearing other people's clothes. i want to wear my wardrobe. it's new year's eve weekend, i'm go going to go out and party like it's 2023 because it's going to be. this bag when i go back to denver is not getting checked
11:26 am
it's staying right here with me, because i'm not losing it again. >> reporter: relief, and i must say, it was kind of nice to see someone smile after seeing so many tears at this airport, sara. >> patrick keane is the meme we need. that excitement was real. adrienne broaddus, thank you for your crew and that. countless christmas moments were lost from southwest meltdown. now, we're hearing of a bride who cannot make it to her own wedding. katie demco was supposed to marry her boyfriend in belize tomorrow. but her flight from st. louis was canceled. and she said there's no other way to get to central america on time. >> i was in shock. we tried to rebook and there was nothing. southwest actually booked me on a flight for january 2nd. my wedding is tomorrow, december 30th, so that was past the date
11:27 am
of the wedding. we're just devastated. i mean, not just only michael and i, obviously. but my kids. family. friends. >> what a mess. my next guest as her own southwest saga. nancy stuble has been vacationing in cancun, mexico. she was supposed to get home to nashville on monday. but i think she got home last night. i see you're in nashville now. you started your first leg in houston. what happened from that point forward? how long did this saga take you? >> we started in cancun, and we made it to houston. and when were got to houston, it was cancelled. three full days later, we got home late last night. and i just couldn't be happier to be home. with all of the angels we met along the way. >> understood. let us fwknow what it was like the airport. we saw some pictures from our
11:28 am
reporter adrienne there from the past week. what was it there this past week, what did it look like and what did it feel like, when you were trying to figure out your life? >> when we exited customs there was a line that ran the entire length of the airport and lobby. and the people at the top of the line had been waiting for five hours, basically, to be told they couldn't be helped. but they were just wanted to talk to somebody. so it was pretty -- it was chaos. there were people everywhere. who were trying to figure out what do i do now? >> did you end up finally taking a southwest flight out? or did you have to do something completely different? >> there were no flights to be found. we tried to reroute through every city that we possibly could think of to get home. and there were literally no flights. so it very quickly became clear that i was going to be driving.
11:29 am
>> all right. we've heard again -- so, you drove. you ended up having to drive. and that's no short trip. so, southwest chief commercial officer has released a new apology. this is the second one, saying that, you know, they are sorry. and you that can now submit receipts online for reimbursement. good enough for you? or do you need more? >> you know, everybody we met along the way was so nice and tried everything that they could do within their power to help us. appreciate that they apologized. what i'd really like to see is they make the capex estimates that resolve the problem going forward. we've loved southwest for years. we're a-list fliers. i've got a gazillion points i'd love to keep using southwest. but i'd love to see them make the investments that this doesn't happen again. for us and the crew and
11:30 am
employees who have had to be the brave front of this debacle. >> nancy, i'm sure that the ceo and employees there are happy to hear that you still want to continue to use southwest. but you do want them to do the investments necessary so this doesn't happen again. i appreciate your time, thank you, nancy. >> thank you. 39 people now are confirmed dead in the christmas blizzard that crippled upstate new york. and now erie county officials are warning the death toll could rise in a matter of days. the driving ban has been lifted and all major highways have been reopened with more than four feet of snow starting to melt, there are fears now of flooding. cnn's athena jones is in buffalo. we just heard about more potential fatalities. what are you hearing? >> reporter: hi, sara. well, we've been talking the last couple of days about the checks, the welfare checks that were being carried out both by
11:31 am
the police and national goard troops. the national guard was going to neighborhoods that lost power to make sure they're doing okay and don't need anything. meanwhile, emergency services people and police have been trying to check on the 1100 911 calls made during this. all of that in addition to the snow melting in some area. 17 of the 39 people confirmed dead by the medical examiner in erie county, 17 of them were found outside. there's still a large amount of snow. listen to what mark poloncarz, he's the erie county executive, had to say about the additional bodies they found. >> there are still cases that the medical examiner's office have to review. as well as some heartbreaking cases that some of us have money about in the last 24 hours including a 4-month-old who died
11:32 am
on christmas day at the medical examiner's office. there are copies received that are believed to be blizzard deaths but they do need an autopsy and additional work done. >> reporter: and so that number, that 39 number, for erie county is almost certain to rise. there was some good news, sara. you mentioned concerns about flooding. the governor of new york kathy hochul has directed state agencies to be prepared for that. sending things like sandbags and personnel and pumps to pump water in case the flooding issue does become a problem. just in that press conference a while ago, mark poloncarz says they don't think it's going to be major. they're going to see waterway crests, but they don't expect to see ice jamming things up and major flooding. one thing that i want to bring up, poloncarz has been complaining, he complained publicly at least last night with lack of coordination with
11:33 am
buffalo city mayor, he used the beginning of that press conference to apologize several time saying he lost focus. and the focus is on loved ones and recovery and he reached out to the mayor and hopes to connect with him to talk about this, sara. >> thank you so much, athena jones, to give us the details in the dissension that happened with the apology there. still ahead, a fresh look at the unemployment picture in the united states. plus, this was a bleak year for wall street. why did the market suffer so? and which stocks fared better than most? that's ahead. with aveeno® dai. formulated with nourishing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven toto moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno®

today, in israel, 18 months after being ousted from power, benjamin netanyahu was sworn in as prime minister for the sixth time of what is likely to be israel's most right-wing government in its history. thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the swearing-in ceremony to protest his return to office. journalist elliott bakken is in jerusalem. elliott, give us some idea how people are responding to this? >> reporter: sara, well, we saw some of the response with protesters outside, a couple of thousand people, earlier today, concerned about the erosion of israel's democratic values. concerns there will be fewer checks and balances on this government. worried about the potential for discrimination against minorities including the lgbtq community and worried what they will do if they do some of the things the members have been
11:39 am
advocating for. we also had protests this evening with lgbtq protesters blocking the main highway between jerusalem and tel aviv. that's now been cleared but when netanyahu spoke this morning, we also saw protests inside the knesset. at least five or six members of the knesset were ejected for heckling netanyahu. and things like getting nuclear weapons, boosting public transport and expanding the abraham accord to make peace with other arab companies. he didn't arrest the things he's said in the recent days to assuage concerns. he said the buck stops with him. and he's also said for the plans for the government that were published on wednesday that there will be no change to the status quo, for example, at temple mount as it's named for
11:40 am
jews and then the temple where it is named for jerusalem. they're not allowed to pray. and that that would be government policy -- it is not. certainly for now, sara the biden administration is giving the administration the benefit of the doubt. we heard earlier from president biden saying i look forward to working with president netanyahu. he's been my friend for decades. and many challenges and tuners facing israel and middle east region including threats from iran. and we heard from secretary of state blinken. sara. >> thank you for that reporting. the january 6th committee dropped transcripts from over a dozen interview. our team is going through all of the testimony. we'll have the latest takeaways coming up. the new cnn film "don't make me

exxon, hess, ox ccidental petroleum. on the negative side, some losers, meta, facebook, tesla, all of them down 60% or more. listen, this bad the year for the market is almost over, in about 25 hours it will be done. we start with a fresh slate next week. hopefully that market, you know, will rebound next year. hopefully, some of this pessimism about a recession is overblown and you can see a recovery. >> the oil company numbers went up. they did great profits, but we all paid for it. >> that's true. >> matt egan, thank you so much. >> thank you. around the world in seven years, one man and his four-legged friend make history as they circumvent the entire globe on foot. they join us, next.

t ouour juryry aorneneys hehelpou got your new year's resolutions lined up? most of us consider the obvious, exercise more, or clean out the garage or whatever, but tom turstich put us all to shame. he set a goal of walking around the entire world, and somehow he did it along with his dog, sav savannah. tom, welcome. you are the tenth person i understand it on record to ever complete the goal, and is is van i
11:54 am
-- savannah the first dog to do so? >> she's the first dog from what i have heard. i adopted her in austin, texas and she's been with me for the whole 25,000 miles. kau kudos to her. she's a beast. >> the pictures are just so, so good, looking at the dog in every single one of them, but this was not just born of, you know, fear of missing out. this was not just a fomo thing. your goal was inspired by personal loss. tell us about that. >> yeah. so when i was 17, a close friend of mine passed away in this freak accident, and it was really a wakeup call for me that i could go at any moment arbitrarily, indifferently. so i realized to i needed to live a little more recklessly. i needed to be less fearful of failing and to pursue my dreams more doggedly, and when i thought about what i wanted, i knew i wanted to travel. i wanted adventure, and i wanted to understand the world, and a
11:55 am
thing that met all of those was to walk. i didn't just want to see the in between. i didn't just want to see paris and machu picchu. i wanted to see how people live do day-to-day in all these places. it was eight years from when i first had the dream of walking around the world, before i took my first step, and then another seven years of actually walking. so this is an idea that dominated my life for 15 years, but it's finally completed, and it was a great adventure. >> it took you seven years. can you give me some sense of some of the places that just blew you away when you made it there on foot? >> yeah, actually. my mom and i are just finishing a children's book. she's a professional illustrator, and it's about sav savannah. the first adventure we focus on is crossing the andes in south

11:57 am
myself, but she gets her walks every day, and like i said, i'm working on this children's book with my mother, looking for a publisher, and so hopefully she'll live on immortally in that way even in -- through her retirement, but yes. she's good. she's good. she's enjoying her retirement, it seems like. >> the pictures alone could easily alone with a few captions be on a coffee table. hint hint, whatever publisher that's out there, tom. thank you for sharing that with us. what a beautiful journey you and savannah were able to go on. >> thanks for having me. all right. now to ukraine. rocked overnight by an onslaught of russian millsles. the country is calling it one of the largest missile barrages since the war began more than ten months ago. we'll take you there, ahead. downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh waaaay longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh foror weeks, make sure you have downy unstopopables
