>> welcome back this thursday morning, our top of the morning for you, the top places to eat in the u.s. number one, is lee's home style broken mouth in downtown los angeles, a korean hawaiian comfort food joint. number two, super j's authentic island, on the big island, so only a plane ride away. and archibald's bakery in fort lauderdale, florida. have i made you hungry? i hope so. thanks for joining us, i'm christine romans. "cnn this morning" starts right now.

this incident was heinous, reckless, and inhumane and in the vain of transparency, when the video is released in the coming days you will see this for yourselves. i expect you to feel outraged in the disregard of basic human rights as our police officers have taken an oath to do the opp opposite of what transpired on the video. good morning we're glad you could join us, i'm live in memphis. poppy is in new york. and kaitlan is on assignment. any day now the video of the beating that led to tyre nichols' death will be released. we're live on the ground for you. look again, the national archives weighing whether to ask former presidents and vice presidents to check for any classified documents. what four presidents told cnn. plus this.

the administrator down played the report from the teacher and the possibility of a gun saying, and i quote, well, he has little pockets. this is outrageous. >> more questions this morning about the 6-year-old who shot this -- shot his teacher. how much warning does school officials really have, and who is out of a job now? we're going to begin in memphis, tennessee. will today be the day, will the nation see body cam video of the police beating of tyre nichols and could there be criminal charges for the officers involved. this morning the city is on edge. a warning now, the photo we're about to show you is tyree in the hospital before he died. here it is, tyre's parents say this is what police did to their son. the family has watched the body cam footage. the attorney says it shows officers beating him nonstop for

three minutes like a, quote, human pinata after a traffic stop. here's what their attorney told erin burnett last night. >> the family wants nothing but the absolute most charge that they can bring. and what they want are murder charges. there is no doubt. they want to see that. that, i can relate to you, the family is quite clear that they want to see murder charges brought against these officers. and i would support those charges if they can be brought. >> that was the family's attorney there. shimon prokupecz has been following this closely. shimon good morning to you. any day now is what we can say now about the body cam footage. >> people here are bracing for it and nationally law enforcement bracing for what's to come. we've been given every indication from the family, law enforcement officials, the police chief releasing this

statement last night. she's not appeared before cameras, taken questions from the media. but everyone is preparing the counted country for what they're about to see in the video, and how horrific it is the beating of this man by these police officers. we see his injuries in that photo. that is what everyone is doing, preparing the country. because they are concerned about how the country is going to react to seeing this video. we can feel it here. >> just listening to officials here and people who have seen the videotape. it is horrendous according to some sof the folks who have see it but the question is charges, when will charges come? >> the family expects charges ben crump one of their attorneys said he believes the officers may face murder charges. when you're talking about the allegations here of how tyre nichols was on the ground, ben

crump said he was handcuffed. >> three minutes. >> for most of this. and how they beat him, according to the family, according to the police, this is what the family wants. they expect murder charges, ben crump said he expects murder charges. there may be other charges. when that will happen, that's the question. two things right now we're waiting for, is whether or not the district attorney is going to charge these officers and the release of this video. and like you said, this could come at any point. some of this could happen today and tomorrow. we're getting inindicatings from officials that they want this done by the end of the week. we have the five officers' pictures on the screen. five officers have been fired and two members of the fire department. >> right. we should note that by the police department, moving so quickly to fire these officers, that is remarkable they did move so quickly and that is something we should certainly take note of because of how serious and how

horrendous the actions of these officers were. >> we'll be here in many memphis for you, shimon prokupecz has been following the story. a lot to consider and the city and, of course, the country bracing for what is in that video, what they're going to see once it is released. >> i'm so glad you're there, don. because it could be released at any moment. hearing from the police chief saying what you will see will anger everyone and be outrageous. we will see. thank you very much we'll get back to you very soon. this headline out of washington. the national archives is considering sending a request to former presidents and vice presidents, check your files for classified documents. if you've already checked, look again. this comes after the document discoveries at the homes of president biden and former vice president mike pence. our paula reid live for cnn this morning in washington. good morning, so what is the national archives asking here? >> reporter: they're thinking about asking former presidents and vice presidents to look through their records to make

sure they don't have additional classified materials. we reached out to representatives for four former presidents who all they say don't have any classified material and they don't have any plans to go look for any. it's interesting to see if the archives does this the response they get. but this is closer to what people on both sides of the aisle have gun to call for which is an amnesty period to allow people to go through records and make sure there are no documents that should be in the possession of the government. >> you have interesting new reporting with your team about what the justice department was prepared to do, that they were ready to issue a warrant if needed to, if the biden team didn't agree to the search of his home in wilmington, delaware. did it get anywhere close to that? >> obviously the search of a home of a sitting president is unprecedented. we learned it came about as a result of talks between the justice department and biden attorneys. the white house has been clear, they wanted to be cooperative. they wanted the search to happen. but we're told that the justice

department was also prepared to get a search warrant if they did not get consent. now they never had to raise that possibility because they were able to come to an agreement. the justice department was allowed to search the house, they had access to the entire premises. as you know, the justice department they're under a lot of pressure to make sure they treat this case the same way they treated the trump probe. while the facts are different. we heard the attorney general emphasize how everyone is going to be treated equally. >> doesn't this point to the frustration about the how the biden discovered this in november when the documents were discovered and six weeks later more came forward? >> reporter: and in those six weeks they knew they were reviewing the case. they were frustrated once the biden team knew the justice department was reviewing the original documents they went to search the president's home and

didn't tell the justice department until after they found classified materials. it wasn't a requirement they had to disclose the search but there was frustration inside the justice department. there was also frustration about the messaging here, the fact when the story broke and the white house confirmed it, they only confirmed the discovery of documents in the office and failed to mention those found in wilmington. additional searches could be conducted as this investigation continues. >> thank you. let's go back to don. >> more fallout in new port news, virginia. weeks after a 6-year-old allegedly shot a teacher. the assistant principal resigned and the school board voted to sever ties with the superintendent on wednesday. this after the lawyer for the teacher alleged the school was warned three times that the child had a gun and failed to react. brian todd is live for us in new

port news. good morning to you. >> reporter: stunning allegations that led not only to the resignation of the assistant principal here and the fallout at the highest levels of the school system. >> i move that we approve the separation agreement and severance with the superintendent. >> reporter: the new port news school superintendent voted out after board members voted to approve a separation agreement with superintendent george parker and appointed an interim superintendent. >> effective february 1st, 2023, dr. parker will be relieved of his duties azi. >> reporter: all of this three weeks after a 6-year-old student shot and wounded his first grade teacher. >> this should have never happened. it was preventable. and thank god abby is alive. >> reporter: the attorney for that teacher says she will file a lawsuit against the new port news, school district. >> had the school administrators acted in the interest of their teachers and their students, abby would not have sustained a

gun shot wound to the chest. a bullet that remains dangerously inside her body. >> reporter: her attorney alleging a dramatic time line of warnings on the day of the shooting. the first coming around 11:15 a.m. when zwerner warned an administrator the 6-year-old threatened to beat up another student. later, at 12:30, another teacher searched the boy's backpack suspecting he brought the gun to school and put it in his pocket before the recess. >> the administrator down played the report from the teacher and the possibility of a gun, saying, and i quote, well, he has little pockets. this is outrageous. >> reporter: around 1:00 p.m., a third teacher told administrators a distressed student confessed to seeing the gun at recess. >> did administrators call the police? no. did administers lock down the

school, no. another teacher was then denied permission to search the child. >> he was told to wait the situation out because the school day was almost over. >> reporter: cnn reached out to the school district which declined to comment. parents like mark garcia sr have been calling for change. his response to the allegations -- >> i told my wife after we saw it, i'll leave the expletives out, but i can't believe someone could be so blah say or callus with the safety. like what is their job? >> reporter: james allen the attorney for the family of the alleged shooter responded to the latest allegation and the planned lawsuit with an email to cnn saying the family continues to pray for the teacher. that attorney told me the gun the child accessed had been secured with a trigger lock and

kept on the top shelf of the mother's closet. don. >> brian, thank you very much for that. straight ahead we'll speak with one of the parents from the school whose child was there on the day of the shooting. what her child texted her. facebook's parent company meta said it will reactivate former president trump's accounts on facebook and instagram. it follows twitter's decision to do the same and comes two years after his accounts were suspended in the wake of the january 6th attack on the capital. meta said quote the public should be able to hear what the politicians are saying, the good, bad, and ugly so they can make informed choices but that does not mean there are no limits to what people can say on our platform. remember, former president trump did not wait long to weigh in on truth social he criticized

facebook for deplatforming him again in the first place. saying it should never happen again to a sitting president or somebody who wasn't deserving of retri retribution. don't go far, we are going to continue the discussion and assess some of the fine print with donie o'sullivan and sarah fisher ahead. in the meantime this morning around 20 missiles were flown over ukraine's capital. all were destroyed according to officials there. however, a 55-year-old man was killed by falling missile fragments. this as president biden is unleashing an iron fist in the fight against russia. the president trump announced the u.s. is -- the president announced the u.s. is sending 31 tanks to ukraine. sam kayliley is leave in kyiv w

more. what are you seeing on the ground, sam? >> reporter: don, for obvious reasons you don't want to help we're not allowed to help the russians with their targeting, we can't show the place of impact but i can say it's obvious that a significant energy generating facility was targeted unsuccessfully because the missile was brought down, but remember these are cruise missiles sometimes with a payload of explosives of 400 k k kilograms well over 500 pounds so there is significant landing even if they're knocked out of the air. all the missiles sent against kyiv and wider attacks have faced another wave of missile attacks facing the energy

infrastructure. the attacks are almost routine but specifically targeting civilian infrastructure. don? >> when nato sam now is more unified than ever after this tank agreement. i'm sure that's not sitting well with putin? >> reporter: no. he has to be very careful of the unintended consequences of the threats and invasion he conducted. he did hope to create a rift within nato lately over the deployment of tanks from nato countries to ukraine but they reacted with unity. close to 100 coming over the next few months. the abrams tanks 30 from the united states will be slower than many in coming. the british challenger tanks could be here in weeks. and the leopard from germany are coming. the defense minister said they want to use the weapons as an iron fist to punch through

russian defensive lines in a counter offensive they're hoping to conduct. they're also going to be defending against a plan what they believe to be a planned russian offensive come the spring, don. >> sam kiley in ukraine for us. thank you. meantime, we have to talk about severe weather. the storm that brought heavy snow to new england is moving out but you still have lingering snow showers and rain continuing in the northeast and midwest. today another line of storms brought damage to the south to those tornados leaving tens of thousands without power. let's go to chad myers. what are you seeing? >> finally things are calming down. we have snow across parts of new england, lake effect snow and snow in some of the bigger cities, making slick spots this morning but the same storm that made the tornados across the golf coast pulling away as a snow event in new england and upstate new york. i don't see anything that big on

the horizon. still have winter storm warnings in effect and that's going to go until around noon. the stripe of snow all the way from from from the ozarks to detroit. this is going to linger for the day as they finally get the trees back up and the power lines back up as well. taking a look at the temperatures for this morning, nice and mild, but some spots don't warm up at all, temperatures going down through the day, poppy. >> thank you very much. the first witnesses are set to testify today in the alex murdaugh trial we're breaking down opening statements from the prosecution and defense. another day, another george santos mystery. why he's deflecting questions now about key funding for his campaign. so adding a student title might feel daunting. national university is here to supupport all your titles. national university.

welcome back to "cnn this morning." hours from now the first witnesses expected to take the stand in the trial of alec murdaugh, the disbarred attorney is accused of murdering his wife and youngest son in 2021. the prosecution and defense yesterday previewed their case in graphic detail. watch. >> picked up that 300 rifle, and opened fire on his wife, maggie, just feet away near some sheds that used to be a hangar. pow pow, two shots and took her down. the defendant alec murdaugh over there told anyone who would listen that he was never at those kennels. but the evidence is also going to show from these things that every one of us -- most of us

carry around in our pocket that he was there. his head exploded, you would be covered in blood from head to foot. they didn't find any blood. testing indicated 12 different places on his shirt and pants, no human blood detected. period. no eyewitness. no forensics tying him to the murder. when i say "forensics" finge fingerprints, blood, whatever, tying him to shooting anybody that night. he didn't do it. he didn't kill butcher, his son and wife. and you need to put from your mind any sug session that he did. >> joining us that he did is a criminal defense attorney, host of "death by fame" and it's available to treatment at discovery plus, our parent company and dave aronberg state attorney in florida.

this trial has captured the nation's attention. we're just getting started here. you have the time line question, dave, you have the prosecution laying out a detailed time line based on phone video, activity, and they essay despite denials shows that murdaugh was around his wife and child at the same time they were murdered. >> it's key to the prosecution's case they can show that alec murdaugh was at the kennel -- >> the dog kennel. >> yes. three to five minutes before the murders. he denied he was ever at the kennel. why would you deny that you were there, unless you were the killer? you know how we know this, not just phone data but also a snapchat video that paul murdaugh took that had the voice of his mother and father. so it's tough to say that's not me. >> but, the bar is high, in a murder case it's beyond a

reasonable doubt for the prosecution. you're a criminal defense attorney so motive is a question. defense is going they're going to show emails between husband and wife, they had a good relationship and marriage, where's the motive, that's the question, right? >> where's the motive and where's the motive you would kill your son. i've had a lot of killed wives, but killing your son is really difficult to convince a jury, that based on the financial pressures that huh huh you had out your son. there's so much reasonable doubt from the statements, they don't have forensics. he says pay attention to the forensics but he destroyed the blood spatter, the t-shirt, the ballistics are not con clue superi -- conclusive because the shell casings come back to a type of

gun. >> given your work in defense, i think it's interesting that the defense attorney wants to take the jury to the crime scene and if a judge allows it, it's up to the judge in this case, what's the point of physically being there? >> well, i think, look, that's an interesting field trip. it's interesting because for many reasons you can see sort of the proximity of the kennel to where he was saying he fell asleep. you can even maybe see if your phone picks up gps because apparently there is no phone service and they're saying he was there because his phone wasn't picking up the google "gps." >> one of the interesting things well, opening statements are crucial. what we saw in the opening statements was also nine members of alex murdaugh's family members sitting behind him, including his surviving son,

buster. how key is that? the jury is not just looking at words they're looking at who's there. >> it's important. the defense is basing their caso a lack of motive. he's a loving father, here's the proof, nine family members at his back. butchered and execution, words used by prosecution to story tell, here it's used by the defense saying how would a man do this heinous act. >> you're talking about a potential death penalty case in this state. >> yes. this is a murder case so gruesome and high profile. in the end it's going to be a circumstantial case and a lot of murder cases are circumstantial cases. so the defense is trying to say lack of motive, lack of blood and it's going to be debated

whether there was blood spatter, that's to come. in the end you piece all the pieces of the puzzle together, one person had the means, motive and opportunity to do this act. that's alex murdaugh. >> final word counselor? >> not beyond a reasonable doubt. >> there's that. thank you both. we'll have you back as we watch all of this. sarah's show, "death by fame". george santos facing scrutiny after claiming he lent his campaign $700,000 but new filings show that money may have come from somewhere else, but where. allow monitoring o of productivy at remote job sites, with next-generatition bandwidt. enable ai cameras that spopot factory issues in real time, using next-generation speed. and deliver ultra-capacity 5g coverage that's years ahead of the competition. t-mobile for business has 5g that's ready right now.

varnish he spilled so he could sue home depot. >> that's a half million dollar question this morning. where did george santos get his money? the new york republicans congressional campaign amended ten filings on tuesday. and this is the big one, $500,000. see that box? it's marked personal funds of the candidate? it is unchecked in the new filing. is it an oversight or a change there? where did that money come from? manu raju tracked down the congressman who said he didn't know anything about his filings. >> why did you amend your f. e.c. reports. >> le's make it clear, i don't amend anything. i don't touch my f.e.c. stuff. don't be disingenuous and report i did. every campaign hires fiduciaries so i'm not aware of that answer. >> eva mckend is live for us.

another day and another santos scandal. >> reporter: yes. we have covered the scandals involving george santos, but it's the money, the issue of the campaign finances that is truly the most consequential, as you saw there getting little clarify from him on this. an initial filing said more than $700,000 was personal loans to his campaign but now revisions appear to show the money didn't come from him at all but still listed as a source of loans elsewhere in his filings. a campaign finance expert we spoke with he said he's baffled by this. >> this is incredibly sloppy bookkeeping or he's saying this wasn't really his money. and in that case there's a question of whether there's an illegal pass through contribution, is this an illegal corporate contribution. there are a number of ways he

could have pushed money not his to his campaign. >> reporter: so i also asked that expert are these type of amendments common? i was curious. he said not this volume, the steady stream of amendments is unusual, don. >> i've got to ask you, eva. this new reporting about whether he lied about the treasure on these documents. what is that about? >> if filings yesterday officials listed thomas datwyler as the treasure but datwyler tells cnn he declined that roll. so this is perplexing here. the treasure listed on the documents says, listen, i didn't do this, i didn't make these authorizations. what is going on here is the big question, don. >> eva you'll be following it as

to learn more about the covid situation on the ground. the adults all work in factories in cities so this was the only time they could see their children but as reported, government officials on the ground had other plans. selina wang is live in beijing with more. hello to you. why were you followed by chinese officials? >> reporter: so for some context in china it's not unusual for local officials in smaller places to check on foreign journalists and try to keep tabs on you. what was surprising was the resources they put into following us. at times we could see half a dozen officials tailing us. several booked same rooms in our hotel. other times they actually obstructed our reporting. >> so we have the three government minders following us. >> it's common for local officials to keep a close eye on foreign journalists but they were especially persistent in

this village following our every move. so we drive out of the village to visit a public hospital in a neighboring county about two hours away. hoping these government minders won't follow us so people will speak more freely. we walk inside the clinic. it's almost entirely empty. in the main hospital area, it's almost empty. it's a stark contrast. i ask a nurse on another floor of the hospital if it was packed with patients a few weeks ago, she said it's always packed and busy here. we try to ask why it looks empty here, but another doctor interrupts, ending our interview. we find one woman a patient's family member who is willing to speak to us. she said everyone around her has gotten covid and recovered. soon after we realize we're being followed, apparently by a

whole different crew. there's at least two, three government minders following us here. it's obvious. >> reporter: they follow us hospital to hospital preventing anyone from speaking to us. i tricon fronting them, ask them why they're following us everywhere and he ignores me. he's walking away. so i tried this official, she refuses to even acknowledge my question. and what happens next? during my interview with this girl shocks us. okay, so i was just interviewing the girl and then the minders literally took her away from us. >> the man pushes the girl and her family away and then later leaves them alone but our interviews in the marketplace are over. china cd said the covid peak across the country has passed but in rural areas like this,

experts say there's far more likely silent suffering people who died at home because they couldn't afford to go to the hospital or couldn't get there on time. back in the village we're greeted by the sounds of squealing pigs getting ready to be slaughtered. this is the only time of the year when families could afford to eat meet. >> relatives are getting ready for the new year. >> reporter: she shows me the fabric she made herself, throwing a thin strip of this cloth takes her more than a day whether it's in the village or far away factories, they're hardworking people they'll do whatever it takes to give their kids a better life, even if it means long bouts of separation from them, making reyunions worh

it. as you saw from the story, it was so hard for us to get any information on covid. the level of interference we faced is close to what we faced in reporting in detention camps a few years ago. but in today's china virtually every topic is considered sensitive if a foreign reporter is reporting on it. a debt ceiling battle is escalating on capitol hill as lawmakers look at spending cuts before a default. while many fear their social security benefits are at risk. ththat's next. the carbon intensityty of the fuels that keep things moving. today, we're p producing renewable diesel that can be used in existing diesel tananks. and we're committed to increasing our renewable fuels production. because as we work toward a lower carbon future,

my opinion, before they get rid of social media. of social security. so you know, you just have to understand, though, 63 million people today collect social security. many of those people they're totally dependent on it. for those of you younger now and you're seeing this happen. you need to think about what can you do today to make sure you're not totally dependent on social security. >> do i get to count 40 as young? i don't know. i don't feel young. what about 40 years old like me and my husband. i have to tell you, i don't think about relying on social security, definitely not in full and i'm not sure in part. >> but the truth of the matter is you have an income coming in, you're not like most of the people out there. recently secure save did this study and the truth is 74% of the people in the study are

living paycheck to paycheck. so they don't have the money right now to do what, to put money in retirement, to pay down their home. they don't have the money to buy a home. >> i think that's the point i'm making. is for average folks around 40, 50 what do they need to do differently now given the insolvency issue? >> they need to understand that they need to make different choices. so rather than going out to eat, rather than going out on possibly a vacation, rather than buying a new car. whatever you're spending your money on, your number one priority should be funding either a roth ira, or your account at work or whatever, at least putting something away. so you can have something more. the key to financial freedom is the earlier you start putting money away, the more you have.

so those who are really young, 25 years of age, this is the time to open a roth ira. this is the time to put $100 a month in it. you have to make your future spending or your future income your priority over all the gadgets that you're currently buying. >> i think warren buffett, wise like you, talks about the value of compound interest. and when people hear 100 bucks a month they think that never adds up, but it adds up so much. >> an example, quick example of that, you're 25, you put $100 a month away in a roth ira. every month until you're 65. so 40 years. with average annual market returns which can be 12% over 40 years you would have a million dollars. if you wait ten years, till you're 35 to start at 65 you have only $300,000. those ten years cost you $700,000. and that's just at $100 a month. >> look at that.
