hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and everywhere

around the world. max foster is on world assignment today. just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> what happened on sunday shows that brazil is clearly a deeply divided and polarized country. >> this was a crowd whipped into a frenzy by a leader that refused to accept an election result. >> the president spechbding the day with border patrol agents and elected officials. >> this is the reality on the ground right now. >> we're anticipating some very intense weather coming in. >> trees down, degree in the roadways, flooding, and we've seen people lose their lives. it is monday, january 9th, 9:00 a.m. here in london, 6:00 a.m. in the brazilian capital where hundreds of supporters of

the president have been arrested after storming key government buildings including congress. the protest drawing comparisons to the january 6th riots at the u.s. capitol. hours ago the president surveyed the damage from sunday's unrest which also took place from the supreme court and the presidential palace. he's promising those responsible will be held accountable. >> translator: there is no precedent in the history of our country. there's no precedent for what these people have done and these people will be punished, and we will find out who financed these vandals who went to brasilia. we'll find out the financiers, and they will pay with the force of the law for this irresponsible gesture, and vandals. >> this was the scene in

brasilia on sunday as the police tried to disperse the crowd. at least 400 people were arrested after the breach. anti-riot police and the brazilian armed forces faced massive crowds. the forces camped out after the election defeat. it left behind extenze irv damage including broken windows. cnn brazil reports the floor of the congress building was flood after protesters tried to set the carpet on fire. leaders are condemning the violence and expressing their support for the newly elected president deeida silva. the images coming out of brazil are being compared to those on the left side of your screen

showing washington, dc, two years ago at the u.s. capitol. one u.s. lawmaker had this reaction to ton he unrest. >> i stand with the democratic leadership of brazil. he basically used the trump playbook to try to take over the government. you're right. it looks a lot like the united states. he should be extradited to brazil. in fact, it was reported he was under investigation for corruption and fled brazil to the united states. so we were talking about asylum seekers and immigration earlier. republicans try to scare people about bad people coming to the united states. we know where one of those people are. bolsonaro is hanging out in florida with trump. he's a dangerous man. he should be sent back to

brazil. >> let's get some perspective. thanks so much for joining us today. >> my pleasure to be here. >> so we've been hearing about the echoes between the current unrest in brazil and the capitol hill insurrection in washington, dc. bolsonaro is referred to as the trump of the tropics. what are the chief grievances? are they very similar? do they not accept the election result, for example? >> it is absolutely very similar, but actually what happened in brasilia yesterday was, in fact, worse than what happened in washington two years ago because yesterday, the buildings of the three main powers in brazil, the presidential palace, the supreme court, and the congress, they managed to invade those buildings almost unopposed. the police force were not

opposed them, so it was much worse. but they have the same grievances. they do not accept the results of the elections. the election in october, lula da silva, the president of brazil was elected by a small margin, but he was elected. it was an election that was absolutely free and fair. these people not do accept the results of the elections. it seems since october they had been camping outside the army barracks in brazil wanting the army to take action. what do they mean by that? they wanted the army to oppose da silva and remove him from office. but the army did not do any movement in that way, and that's why everything happened yesterday, the extreme violence we saw in brasilia. they're demanding da silva to be

removed from office. >> given that bols naonaro camp have been camps out, what is the and tent of the violence and why do they put it on the military because that's significant? >> military in the past plays a huge role in politics. they had leadership from 1964 to 1985, and bolsonaro was the leader. they do not accept the fact that lula was elected in a fair entry election, so they do not accept the result of that election and they want him to be removed from

power. they have been camping outside the barracks because they demand the army should take some kind of action to remove lula from office and reinstate bolsonaro. when he was in office, he brought a lot of meaningful people to active power. they had ministers, a lot of different positions in the government. so these people, they really believe that they'll be able to impose some type of order in brazil. the military have been very silent. a lot of them are not very happy with lula being back in office, but they have not made any movement in terms of breaking the law or trying to be, again, in power. so the military have been very silent. but at the same time, they do not make any movement to remove the people that were coming in

front of the barracks. so it was a relation between the military and the government. that does not mean the military could take any kind of undemocratic action. actually they have been very silent about this. there was another point i wanted to make. bolsonaro, former president bolsonaro has been very silent. they called him yesterday. he did not ask his supporters to leave in front of the barracks. so his silence also plays a huge role in what happened yesterday in brasilia because if he had asked it, people just go home, maybe what happened yesterday would not have taken place. >> indeed. all seems rather familiar, but as you say, on an even greater scale. american martins, thank you so much for joining us. in the coming hours, the u.s. president will meet with

his mexican and canadian counterparts in mexico city where they'll discuss the recent surge in migration. it comes hours after president biden visited el paso, texas, one of the major cities overwhelmed by migrants. they recorded over 2 million at the border, the highest level in recent history. during his visit, mr. biden pledged washington will do more to help with the surge in crossings, but the trip didn't impress texas governor greg abbott who outlined his concerns in a letter to the president. >> i urge him in the letter to see the real chaos, what everybody here may already know, and that is there were thousands of migrants sleeping on the streets of el paso that have been cleaned up in the past few days. i asked him to do go see the areas where we have these mass

migration problems and go live on the border where people's lives have been totally disrupted. i said, mr. president, you have a job to do. >> the situation is so bad the democratic mayor has declared a state of emergency. cnn's rosa flores shows us what the president didn't see. >> reporter: all of the clothing and the items that you see here, most of them are donated from good samaritans from the el paso area. you can also see that there's lines for everything. there's lines for food. migrants are getting in line for water. they're getting in line for toys for their kids. this is the reality on the ground right now. what we know president biden has done is he's gone to the bridge of the americas. we have video of that. but in talking to advocates, there's really nothing to see when it comes to the migrant

crisis there. >> cnn 's lee has more. >> reporter: there was a brief stop in texas after a growing outcry including republican lawmakers for the president to visit the u.s. southern boarder to see with his very own eyes the number of migrants that have been trekking to the u.s. southern border, the president spending the day with elected officials and visiting a migrant respite center, but notably when he appeared at the respite center, he didn't meet or see any migrants there. they say it was purely coincidental. at the time there didn't appear to be any migrants at the center. during his time there, there has been a drastic drop of the number of migrants at this border city. what he told reporters after

spending the afternoon in el paso was this, that the city needs a lot more resources. >> we need a lot of resources, and we're going to get them for you. >> reporter: president biden is trying to strike a balance between appearing strong at the border and taking concerns of the situation at the border out of control seriously, but at the same time, taking a humane approach on how to handle and process these migrants that are wanting to come across the border into the u.s. of course the administration has been harshly criticized after the decision to expand the controversial title 42 program and saying that people who are coming in from countries like cuba, nicaragua, and haiti, if they do so without properly applying for asylum somewhere else first, they can be turned away at the border. this has been described by advocate groups as being

inhumane and hypocritical, and all of this is looming over the president's visit to mexico city, and immigration is expected to be such a big issue when he meets with the mexican leader, the leader of canada as well. mj lee, cnn, mexico city. later today in washington, u.s. house republicans face a new hurdle following last week's grueling fight to find a speaker. itance important part of the package which establishes the rules of the 180th congress and how they'll govern over the next two years under the republican control. some moderates worry that those concessions will weaken the hand. others are uncomfortable with the lack of transparency over the details. >> we shouldn't be operating like nancy pelosi, this small faction. they were the ones saying,

quote, they were fighting the swamp and then went and tried to act like they actually are the swamp doing these backroom deals. we don't know what they got. we haven't seen it. we don't know what promises were made or gentlemen's handshakes were made. we have no idea what deals were made. it gibbs us quite a bit of heartburn because that's not what we ran on. >> we're trying to find some reasonable republicans to w.h.o. are willing to break from the extreme elements of doing do the work for the american people. >> at some point in time there was going to have to be a change about how washington works. a lot of us as conservatives have been frustrated with that. this game has got to end. those discussions have to end. i think that's healthy, by the way. we took a few days to make sure we could set up a congress that could work for the american people. >> now the republicans are in control of the house. they're trying to launch investigations into the justice department and the fbi. they proposed a new elect

subcommittee to be formed creating a showdown with the biden administration and law enforcement agencies over earlier probes, particularly those involving former president donald trump. republicans have also vowed to make investigating president biden and his family another top priority. and buffalo bills player damar hamlin continues to show progress in his recovery. a source tells ks cnn he should released from hospital in the coming days. he'll immediately return to buffalo after he's discharged. meanwhile he watched his team win. he watched all from his hospital bed in cincinnati where he's recovering from the cardiac arrest he suffered on the field a week ago. even though he wasn't playing on sunday, he was there in spirit at every nfl fans with fans and players across the country

showing their support. but, of course, the biggest tributes came from buffalo as they closed out the regular season on a high note and will now prepare for the playoffs. the highlights and details from the bills' emotional victory is coy wire. >> reporter: this was no longer just a game against division rivals. this was a celebration of life as bills' head coach sean mcdermott described it. damar hamlin, number 3, suffered cardiac arrest on the field earlier this week. as the players ran out of the tunnel, the power 306 was everywhere, players holding flags and patches, fans holding hand crafted signs. and it was quite the emotional moment when damar's image showed up on the jumbotron and the training staff who pounced in with poise and decision to save

damar's life got the loudest ovation i've ever heard. on the opening play of the game, goosebumps. here's what happened on the bills' first play since the tragic jury as told by bills' play-by-play announcer chris brown. >> cuts it down at the 45. he's got it down to the 50, 40, 35, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, touchdown! 96 yards. >> reporter: it had been three years and three months since the bills had last done that, hamlin watching from the hospital, tweeting, god behind all, this no coincidence. but that wasn't all. nyheim hines would return another touchdown for the game, something that hasn't been done since 2010, you guessed it, week

3. next stop, playoffs. here's star quarterback josh allen with his reaction to the movie descript-type touchdown on the opening play of the game. >> if you want the truth, it was spiritual, it really was. bone-chilling, like it -- it was special. the whole way, i think the nation came together and supported damar, you know, we've had a lot of talks that maybe we wouldn't have had without this happening. was just told it's been three years and three months since the last kickoff return. so pretty cool. >> there's something pretty cool happening here in buffalo. it's been an emotional roller coaster for this team, for this city, from tears of fear to start the week to tears of joy and outpouring of support we see now, but one heart may have stopped and made the whole world come together to beat as one for

now. still ahead, prince harry's startling revelations have stunned royal watchers. we'll talk to an expert about the bombshell memoir "spare." and emotional reunions as china reopens its borders. but as the world's second largest economy tries to get back on its feet, covid remains a danger. after days of heavy rain in california, piece are bracing for many more storms. our derek van dam is tracking the storm for you. >> yet another high-impact atmospheric event lining up for monday into tuesday. this will bring incredible amounts of rain, snow, and high winds tracking a across the state. i'll have alall the details comg up after the break. nothing kills more viruses on more surfaces than lysysol disinfectant spray. ♪

parts of the united states are gearing up for more storms this week. there are reports of winds at 100 miles an hour across nevada and california putting 2,800 people under wind alert. high winds knocked out trees and

power lines in california during storms last week, and at least seven people were killed. now forecasters are warning of a relentless parades of cyclones until midweek with flood watches in effect for over 15 million people. california's governor says he plans to request approval from the white house for a declaration and he's urging residents to stay safe. >> just a foot of water, and your car's floating. you know, half a foot of floating, you're off your feet. half a foot of water, you're losing control of your vehicle. we're seeing people going around the detours because they don't see any obstacles, they see everything is fine, and they're putting their lives at risk or pitting first responders' lives at risk. >> meantime officials say the multiple storm systems have set the stage for what could become a high-impact event.

cnn meteorologist derek van dam explains what that means. >> that's right. any time you hear the weather service from san francisco hear terminology like high-impact event, you know the storm means business. here's the state of california. it looks like mother nature is about to go bowling. it's directing a plume of pressure into the northern portion of the state. this will not be a 12-hour event. we're talking 48 hours of relentless rain and snow. the weather picture picking up on that. they have increased their area coverage of a moderate risk, a level 3 and 4 to flash flooding from san francisco to los angeles. that extends into tuesday for southern california, in and around l.a. about 30 million people impacted by this with flood alerts stretching from north all the way to south as this plume of moisture oscillates from the north to the south from monday

into the day on tuesday and then another round of precipitation sets up behind it. i'm showing you these rainfall totals over the past two weeks to show you at home it's been extremely wet for california lately, right? we're approaching and skrieding 10 inches of rainfall in the past two weeks for downtown san francisco. so accumulatively, any addition irv rain will lead to excessive runoff, let's say high river flows. that's, in fact, the forecast with the rain gauges. anywhere you see in purple, they're anticipating flood rivers. rainfall totals here with this latest atmospheric event right around the coast, and snowfall will be measured in feet. if you're traveling along interstate 80, find alternative plans, because it will be next to impossible. by the way, those totals on the mountains are not typos.

it's not only rain, not only snow. the vulnerable areas, the high altitudes of the sierra mountain ranges could see wind gusts in excess of 100 miles an hour. that will make travel virtually impossible if for these locations. this amount of rain has done quite a dent in our drought monitor. last week we had 7% exceptional drought. that has all been erased. back to you. now more startling revelations from prince harry ahead of the release of his memoir, "spare." he says none of it was meant to hurt his family, but he hasn't spoken to prince william or his father for a while now. >> do you speak to william now or text? >> currently, no. i look forward to us being able to find peace. >> how long has it been since you spoke? >> a while.

>> do you speak to your dad. >> we haven't spoken for quite a while. not recently. >> can you see a day when you would return as a full-time member of the royal family? >> no. i can't see that happening. >> and joining me now to discuss is kate williams, cnn royal historian. always lovely to speak to you. there's so much to get to. as a historian and royal expert, what ask actually are the significant revelations from the leaks of the book and the interviews? >> there's been so many revelations. the book hasn't even been published in the uk and america yet until tonight, one minute past midnight. i think these are damaging allegations, very severe, and for me there are two main areas that are most significant as you say. first the aftermath of the death of princess diana, how

heartbroken harry was, how little support he got, and how he's really convinced the investigation didn't go far enough, and then about this very dysfunctional relationship within the royal family between how he puts it the heir, william, the spare, him. the rivalry, the physical fights, the fact that it really suggests this the institution is not well run and cause as lot of suffering. so i think overall historians of the future are going to be looking back on this moment when harry tears back the curtain on the royal family and really say this is when the royal family had to change and it's going to create a big dip in their popularity. >> i think most people would concur as society modernizes, the royal family probably needs to change, but they also scrutinize the source and possible bias they might possess as everybody does when they're righting their own story. prince harry says he wants this

to be part of the historic record. there are contradictions here, even in the way harry responds to how royal experts work. i've worked alongside a lot of them. from my experience that's not broadly true of everybody. and also his desire for telling his own story. but then he is telling a lot of other people's stories as well, including how prince william felt when his mother died. yes. he thought he and william hadn't gone on. william was convinced she was going to come back, that she had gone onto a break. it's so heartbreaking for two little boys to say she is off and will see them again. he is telling other stories. there is contrast when he says how much he supports the monarchy, loves the monarchy, but he's talking very clearly

about the many, many problems within it. i think his principle, he said, honesty isn't burning bridges. i just am being honest. certainly there's been a huge amount of criticism against prince harry, and i think there will be more so when the book comes out telling his truth. but i don't think this is the last of it. i think there are other interviews obviously to come. and also, i think, we may see more material being said, more words being said as time goes on because harry's spoken a lot. there's clearly a lot of material i think he hasn't talked about yet. >> that remains unsaid. i wish we had more time. kate williams, thank you so much. i'm sure as we gear up toward the coronation, we'll be having more of these discussions. >> a nursing strike seems imminent as some of new york's biggest hospitals will look at the state of negotiations. plus the latest on the condition of a virginia elementary school teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old child.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm bianca nobilo. if you're just joining us, let me bring you up to date. joe biden is expected to discuss the growing migrant crisis at the mexico/u.s. border. it comes a day after mr. biden visited el paso, texas, where he visited border agents and visited a shelter. and brazil have arrested 400 supporters of bolsonaro after they attacked the nation's

congress over election results. brasilia's president lula da silva is promising to punish those in the violence. the nurses association is looking to strike in under 30 minutes. the mount sinai health system tweeted hours ago that union leadership walked out of talks early this morning, setting off a potential strike at mount sinai hospital as well. and according to mount sinai, the union refused to accept the more than 19% salary increase. the president of the nurses union says money isn't their primary concern. >> our number one issue is the crisis of staffing. chronic understaffing that harms patient care. safe staffing is about having enough nurses to deliver safe care. quality care to every patient. it is an issue that our employers have ignored.

>> if the nurses at both mount sinai and montefiore go on strike, more than 7,000 nurses could be on the picket line. police isay an elementary school teacher shot by a student is now in stable condition. her alma mater says her name is abby zwerner. she was hospitalized with injuries after being shot by a 6-year-old on friday, a crime that has shaken the community. >> there's a lot of questions we have to answer as a community, one, how a 6-year-old was able to have a gun, to know how to use it in such a deliberate manner. but i do know now because it remains an investigation, we're going to let it sort of work out before we rush to judgment at this time. but i can tell you that the individuals responsible will be held accountable, i can promise that. >> the school is closed today

and tuesday. police took the child into custody and have released few details, but they do say the shooting was not accidental. about 3,000 people marched through london on sunday to show support for protesters in iran. this as international outrage gross over tehran's bloody crackdown on dissent. the iranian government reportedly executed two protesters on saturday who were alleged to have killed a mek of the security forces. cnn's joumanna kharadsheh joins us now. what have you been hearing? >> reporter: for weeks we've been hearing activists saying and warning we'll see a wave of

executions if people have been arrested, protesters, and those linked to the protests as the iranian regime appears to be using the death penalty to try to spread fear and crush descent and crush supporters. this appears to be happening. the world woke up to the news of the execution of two young men on saturday morning, two additional protesters who have been executed over the past month. they have accused the two men of killing a member of the military force during a protest near tehran back in november. but human rights organizations including international amnesty says they did not get a fair trial. they described it as an unfair

shrewd sham trial that bore no resemblance to you dishlg proceedings. it was forced confessions used to convict them. their families and lawyers saying they were tortured while in custody. and a lot of concern for many others who are behind bars who are facing the risk of execution right now who have gone through what activists are describing as these sham trials. and, bianca, there is a lot of outrage around the world, and we're seeing this as you mentioned. but activists say that is not enough. these statements of condemnation, the symbolic sanctions issued by western countries, they say that is not enough, that they must act urgently in a unified way to put pressure on the iranian regime to try and stop these executions, to try and save those who are now on death row, bianca. >> thank you. dozens of captured russian and ukrainian soldiers are now

welcome back. adam rich has died. he was best known for playing nicholas bradford in "eight is enough." he played in other shows and movies until his final credit. adam rich passed away saturday at his home in los angeles and he was 54 years old. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is praising two near cities. he said they were holding out against russian attacks despite being among, quote, the bloodiest places on the front

line. also on sunday ukraine and russia exchanged 100 prisoners of war, 50 from each side. this is the 36th such swap. meantime ukraine is dismissed moscow's claims that a strike killed hundreds of soldiers. a team saw no massive casualties. nina dos santos joins us with more. nina, this seems like a rhetorical attack. there are reasons to be suspicious about the russian account. >> yes, not the least because the number's very large. so they originally claimed that 600 ukrainian soldiers had been killed after two buildings that they said that they were using as barracks had been hit, but actually if you go to the site, which a number of independent journalists have done as well as reuters and others and indeed

cnn, it doesn't appear as there's any evidence of a few things. one, large numbers of ukrainians having used these buildings as barracks. two, there appears to be no civilian casualties or military casualties from the ukrainian site from these hits. and the craters where these rockets have landed aren't actually hitting buildings. they're outside of buildings. so they appear to have missed these targets, and it's very unclear whether the buildings had large numbers of ukrainian soldiers inhabiting them at the time. the question is why would russia do it? it could be a propaganda play. the incident you're referring to that happened on new year's day, russia has now admitted that 89 of its conscripts, not professional soldiers, but conscripts here, which in itself is very sensitive for russians in general because originally

this was issupposed to be a special mission, 18 have lost their lives. initially russia's military blamed them for having exposed their position by using their cell or mobile phones. ukraine has dismissed that as fanciful. but we have to point out there's been disinformation or confusion. originally ukraine said the attack has killed 400 russian soldiers. russia only admits to 89 there. we're talking large numbers on either side, and, again, a very confused picture with some of these claims now having been looked into by independent media. >> nina dos santos, thank you so much. the u.s. coast guard says it's repatriated 270 migrants from overseas. they attempted to enter into the united states. they were given food, water, and
