9:00 a.m. in london, 3:00 a.m. in mexico city where officials appear to have reached agreement on ways to deal with the migrant crisis on the border. u.s. assosecretary of homeland security said they had a p productive meeting. and saying the details on agreements will be announced later in a joint statement. senior u.s. officials say mexico shared plans to crack down on migrant smugglers which are contributing to the crisis. the talks come as both u.s. and mexican governments are under pressure to address an influx of migrants in recent weeks. local leaders from border communities in texas say the biden administration needs to step up and provide solutions. >> this is unacceptable. our city here in eagle pass, we've been getting slammed with

2,000 to 3,000 people a day and it is an unfair, unethical situation. we feel ignored by the federal government. i called to the government that we need action. there needs to be a consequence to so many people crossing illegally. if somebody breaks a law, there needs to be a consequence and right now there are no consequences. u.s. president biden is looking for solutions to the migrant crisis as it appears destined to be a central issue for voters in next year's presidential election. kevin liptak is traveling with the president and has the details. >> reporter: president biden dispatched a high level delegation of cabinet officials to mexico to speak with the mexican president about this crush of migrants at the u.s. southern border and i think that does tell you the urgency with which administration officials are seeking solutions to this problem. certainly they believe more can

and needs to be done on a diplomatic front to stem the flow of migrants at the u.s. southern border. ultimately this is an issue that has dogged president biden for nearly his entire presidency and he is under pressure from both sides on this issue. on one hand you have republicans and even some democrats who want him to do more to curb the flow of migrants at the u.s. southern border who end up in blue cities like chicago and new york. on the other side you have progressives and some immigration advocates who worry that some of the changes being talked about on capitol hill right now, things like tightening rules on asylum, making it easier for deportations, could amount to some of those most restrictive policies that were in place under former president trump. biden aides do believe once the election gets going, voters will be able to distinguish between the two 2candidates and certainy they paint president trump's policies as inhumane. and they seized quickly on that

xhant comment from the former president that immigrants with were poisoning the nation. at the end of the day this is one of the most intractable proper bes for any american president. all sides seem to agree the system is broken and that the only way to fix it is through changing rules in congress. traveling with the president, kevin liptak, cnn. as you heard kevin mention, some republican officials have been sending migrants to democratic controlled cities like new york. the mayor of new york is pushing back. adams signed an executive order requiring all buses carrying asylum seekers to give them advanced notice as well as passenger information. the new measure comes on the heels of what the mayor's office said was the highest one day total of new rifles in months with some buses dropping migrants off at random locations throughout the city. >> i'm announcing an executive order requiring charter buses

transporting migrants, those often contracted by the state of texas, to provide 32 hour notice in advance of their arrival into new york city. we cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night. now to the race for the white house. the michigan supreme court has rejected the bid to remove donald trump's name from the state's primary ballot, but he could still be kept off the general election ballot. voters advocacy group filed a loot in september arguing that trump should be disqualified because he violated the 14th amendment of the constitution by engaging in an insurrection. the michigan court didn't address that issue but rejected the lawsuit on procedural grounds. trump's bal 's ballot ban i colorado is on hold after an appeal to the u.s. supreme

court. but the chat think did not come from trump's legal team. paula reid has the details. >> reporter: republican party of colorado is asking the supreme court of the united states to overturn the unprecedented decision from the colorado supreme court last week that removed former president trump from the ballot. trump signaled he too will appeal the ruling but he hasn't done so yet. the gop has been a party in this litigation. they are fighting for the ability to list trump as a candidate on the primary ballot. and one of the immediate impacts of this appeal is that the colorado decision is now on pause. until the supreme court reveals whether it wants to get involved. they are under enormous pressure to take up this case and offer clarity on exactly who the 14th amendment applies to and the extent states have power to remove candidates from the ballot. so unclear if the supreme court will take this up or how long it

will take them to decide, but because of the appeal, that colorado decision now on hold. now, one of the places where this question of whether trump will be on the ballot is still outstanding is the state of maine. what is interesting about maine, there the secretary of state is actually the first one to review ballot eligibility. and then it can go to the courts to be appealed. trump and his team calling for the secretary of state to be reduced, to recuse herself from the case. they argue that things that she said about january 6 should make her ineligible to review this case. she's expected to make her decision on this any day now. it she did not respond to our request for comment. jack smith also hard at work, he has filed a request with the court to limit trump's ability to argue that he is the victim of political persecution if and when the january 6 federal case

goes to trial. that whole case is on hold while larger constitutional questions are appealed. but the special counsel hopes to be able to take that case to trial before the 2024 election. in order to make that happen, he continues to make filings and requests of the court so that once the appeals are resolved, if he prevails, he can move ahead with trials as quickly as possible. paula reid, cnn, washington. a warning from israel's foreign ministry as tensions along the country's northern border with lebanon intensify. the ministry says failure to implement the u.n. resolution 1701 could lead to war in lebanon. that resolution calls for cessation of hostilities following withdrawal of room from the demilitarized zone. the warning coming after the israeli foreign minister visited

the border and as new shelling is reported. wednesday hezbollah claimed it targeted an israeli border city with 30 rockets. the attack was in response to earlier idf airstrikes on a lebanese village. reports of deadly strikes in the city of kahn yunis. the palestinian red crescent society said dozens have been killed after a shelling on wednesday. and cnn is told secretary of state antony blinken is expected to return to israel next week and will make other stops in the middle east to discuss the next steps in the israel-hamas war. the u.s. state department has yet to confirm the visit. nada bashir has been closely following all of this. what has the israeli military said it will do if the hezbollah attacks on the northern border

of israel continue? >> we've been hearing repeated warnings now from israeli officials with regard to the escalation in hostilities. and we've seen the exchange of shelling from hezbollah on wednesday. the israeli military confirmed that it had carried out an airstrike along the border region in southern lebanon saying that they had targeted a hezbollah site there. national media later confirming that three people had been killed in that strike. hezbollah later confirming that at least one of those killed was a hezbollah fighter. and there is mounting concern that this could trigger another escalation in tensions between both israel and lebanon. we heard from israeli foreign ministry saying that they are looking at two possible options. a political solution to the escalation or a military

sol solution. and that would be to remove hezbollah from the border region entirely. and we've also heard from war cabinet member who issued his own warning. take a listen to his statement. >> translator: the situation on israel's northern border demands change. the stop watch for diplomatic solution is running out. if the world and lebanese government don't act in order to prevent the firing on the northern residents and to distance hezbollah from the border, the idf will do it. >> now, he also spoke with the situation inside the gaza strip. he said he believes the israeli military needs to intensify the war effort and continue to expand into other areas. we've also been hearing from israel's chief of general staff who have warned the war is set to continue for many more months according to the israeli military as they refocus their efforts on southern gaza.

that has sounded alarm bells given there are hundreds of thousands of visitors taking shelter in southern gaza. >> how does this still over into the attacks in the red sea and iraq? >> there is mounting concern as we continue to see the humanitarian situation deteriorating inside gaza, as we continue to see the civilian death toll mounting, this could trigger an escalation across the region. we've been hearing vocal condemnation from regional leaders and the fear is that that could turn of course into an escalation in military hostilities. we've been seeing the warning signs already. we've seen the last few weeks an escalation in attacks targeting u.s. positions in syria and iraq. and we have heard vocal condemnation from the biden administration warning about iran backed proxies across the

region who may of course may carry out attacks in response to the situation we're seeing in the gaza strip. of course that is a huge point of concern as well for regional leaders. we saw just yesterday a meeting in egypt and they spoke about the potential of this to spill over into a regional conflict warning that this could be an eventuality if enough effort is not put into the diplomatic solutions they are seeking. we've heard of course a humanitarian ceasefire. >> nada bashir, thank you. the french president is urging israel to protect civilians in gaza and ensure life-saving aid is delivered. according to macron's office, he spoke with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and expressed the deepest concern over the civilian death toll and humanitarian emergency. president macron also stressed the need to work toward a

lasting ceasefire with the help of regional and international partners. meanwhile an egyptian official says another 92 trucks with aid and commercial goods entered gaza wednesday through the rafah crossing. that is still far below the daily amounts gaza received before october 7. and if you would like information on how to help with humanitarian relief efforts, go to cnn.com/impact. there you will find a list of vetted organizations that are providing assistance on the ground. that is at cnn.com/impact. north korean leader kim jung-un has ordered ramped up war preparations in response to unspecified confrontational moves by the united states. oren lieberman explains. >> reporter: according to state media, kim jung-un ordered the munitions individual, nuclear weapons and civil defense sectors to further accelerate

the war preparations due to the anti-north korean moves of the u.s. and its forces unprecedented in history. and they mean south korea. and so he is pushing his weapons programs and his nuclear programs even further as he orders this to accelerate here in the face of what he accuses the u.s. of doing, of expanding its overown efforts in the region. just ten days ago, they tested a intercontinental ballistic missile, the third solid fuel icbm test we've seen from north korea this year. it also came with a short range ballistic missile test. so you can see here kim jung-un seeing the u.s. working with south korea and japan, he is pushing his country even harder as well. >> oren lieberman reporting there. last week seoul, tokyo and washington activated a system sharing realtime data. still to come, ukraine gets a mixed bag of news about u.s.

military aid. one round is coming, but the timing of the next is still unclear. we'll go live to kyiv. and plus nikki haley is facing questions about what she said or didn't say about the civil war. >> what was the cause of the united states civil war? >> well, don't come with an easy question, right? and later, a one time super bowl champ russell wilsoson rers to h his demotioion in denvever.

welcome back. new batch of u.s. military aid will soon be headed for ukraine but long term support remains in limbo. wednesday washington approved new aid but the white house has made it clear that that is the end of the line for ukraine. until congress approves more aid. republicans in congress are

blocking a bill demanding more concessions on immigration and border security this return. negotiations over the bill have been stalled for weekweeks, buty are expected to resume next month. we want to show you a before and after image of ukrainian strike in occupied crimea. ukraine claims it destroyed a russian navy tank landing ship on tuesday adding that only time will tell how many russians were killed. but russia says one person is dead and four others wounded. moscow trying to downplay the incident. but if ukraine's claim is true, the ship would be the third major piece of military hardware that russia has lost in less than a week. helena lins is joining me now. how are people in ukraine reacting to the latest u.s. aid package knowing that another one is not sure to come and how does that factor into morale overall

looking ahead to next year when the conflict will reach its third year? >> reporter: hello, bianca. people in ukraine understand that the west is tired of this war, but they always say we are also tired. we didn't choose to live in war. so they understand the decrease on aid for ukraine, but at the same time, they keep asking for it. not only the ukrainians on the street but also the government. because they say the only way of keeping fighting not only for ukraine but they keep highlighting they are not just fighting for ukraine but europe as well and for democracy. and for the western democracies. so this of course knowing that this can be the last u.s. aid for a while, it is a concern for ukrainians. there has been the shellings

continue in the east of the country. there is artilleryry fighting, doans, military sources saying that the situation is difficult. so equipment gets worn out. so people say yes, it sounds that we keep asking for more and more and more, but it is things that get worn out and again we do need more. and also yesterday the economy minister on an interview for financial times were saying that if we don't keep receiving more support from the u.s., but also from the european union, we might have to prioritize money for the defense. and that means delaying probably payments for salaries and pensions. so this is a big topic here. and i would say from the citizens on the streets to the government this, is one of the big concerns right now regarding the future of the country and this war, that as we're saying

it is almost two years, it will enter the third year of the war in ukraine. >> helena lins, thank you so much. and "new york times" says openai copied millions of its articles to train chatgpt. and now the paper is suing. that story still ahead.

welcome back to c"cnn news newsroom". let me bring you up-to-date with our top stories. israel's foreign minister issues a warning to hezbollah that time for diplomacy is running out. this comes as tensions rise on israel's northern border with lebanon. senior u.s. officials including secretary of state antony blinken say that they have held very productive meeting with their mexicangrowing crisis at southern border. and these talks come as both governments are under pressure to address an influx of migrants in recent weeks as rosa flores reports. >> reporter: as border authorities near a breaking point from the weeks long migrant surge, secretary of state antony blinken and department of homeland security

secretary alejandro mayorkas met with mexico's president in mexico city to discuss ways to drive down the unprecedented number of illegal migrant crossings. seven day averagage is 9600. they want too control railways used to move north and provide vees to stay in mexico. apprehensions dropped from about 3,000 daily encounters last week to about 2,000 monday. one of two international vehicles are still closed to vehicle traffic to redirect personnel to process migrants. the wait time to cross by car wednesday afternoon, astounding 15 thundershowers. many americans who frequently drive back and forth are opting to cross on fort lih like nina. she says when she ditched her car in mexico, she saw a group of about 100 migrants walking

towards eagle pass. one business owner says the migrant surge is tearing the community apart. >> i can tell tempers are flaring. that is why i'm hoping that there is a peaceful resolution to this crisis. >> reporter: would you like to see president biden visit eagle pass? >> i would very much so. >> reporter: texas state representative eddie morales, a democrat who represents residents from 11 west texas coununties alongng the statete' bordrder with mexixico, says th fedederal governrnment's ongngo closure ofof the b bridge and dt fiveve day closure of the international railway cost the u.s. economy hundreds of billions of dollars. >> every day texans are the ones that suffer. >> reporter: morale gonzalezest says he's hopeful that the top level talks in mexico city will pave the way for realistic change at the border, but he would have liked to see greg abbott have a seat at the table. >> we'll only get there if there is communication between these two countries and also with the state of texas. >> reporter: texas recently passed its own immigration bill

and has come under fire for the border security tactics like busing and flying migrants to blue states, separating families and deploying concertina wire. and now says the efforts have fallen short. >> we have nothing positive to show to our taxpayers for the amount of money that we've invested. >> reporter: if you take a look behind me, you will see an open feet field with no my grants and you might think that there is no border crisis. but they have gotten good at decomp decompression, that is migrants are transported to an area that has processing space. when it comes to the talks in mexico city, one of the things that i'll be looking for, a possible clue for the outcome of those talks, is the posture of law enforcement on the mexican side of the border. rosa flores, cnn, eagle pass,

texas. after some consider legal back and forth, apple says it will begin playing its latest apple watches in the u.s. stores in the coming hours. the watches are manufactured abroad but an import ban on the series 9 and ultra 2 watches had gone into effect earlier this week. u.s. officials ruled that apple's watch violated another company's patents, but now a u.s. federal appeals court has temporarily blocked that ban. apple was expected to redesign the watches before january 12. a new kind of media battle has broken out between the "new york times" and the firm behind chatgpt. that is the chat bot that uses artificial intelligence to produce amazingly crafted but often inaccurate text and answers to questions. and "times" is suing for copyright infringement. the newspaper says the tech giants used millions of "new york times" articles to train

chatgpt and other ai models without any compensation for them. other media firms including the associated press have reached licensing deals with openai for the use of their data, but take is not the case for the "new york times" who are not getting paid for their content. according to cnn contributor kara swisher, the sources for the items are not being attributed either. >> reporter: this is different than say a google search that points to the "new york times." this dives into articles an serves them up as if openai made them or created them. so it is shoplifting essentially in a digital style. a lot has happened previously. and the question is, is it fair use which is what openai is claiming which is well beyond fair use i think most people would agree, or is it something that they have to pay for. the question is what is the price. and it seems the "new york times" spends a lot of money on its content. i know they paid me to write

content for them and they should get paid for the content that chatgpt might scrape. >> this is the first such lawsuit of its kind by a major publisher. openai says it hopes to find a way to work together with the "new york times." mayor of new york city says protests over the israeli/hamas war are adding to concerns for new year eve celebrations. mayor adams says he is sure protestors will try to use the famous celebration at times square for their own purposes. he added that there was already an attempt to disrupt the lighting of the rockefeller center christmas tree. the mayor says they will use a lot of technology to help security the event on sunday night. earlier this year the police department used high tech drones to monitor complaints about large gatherings. some civil liberties advocates denounced had tactic. a storm hitting parts of the uk hard. we'll show you how the brutal winter storm is batterining g t

republican chris christie is pushing back on calls for him to drop out of the u.s. presidential race. he is spending on a new ad campaign. >> i'm the only one saying donald trump is a liar. he pits americans against each other. he calls the riot on capitol hill, that he will burn america to the ground to help himself. every republican leader says that in private. i'm the only one saying it in public. >> meanwhile nikki haley had a bit of a stumble at a campaign appearance. eva mckend has the details. >> reporter: an awkward moment for nikki haley at a town hall in berlin, new hampshire when she was asked by a voter about the origins, the cause of the

civil war. in it she seemed to suggest that it was about personal freedoms and neglected to raise the issue of slavery. that voter called her out for that. take a listen. >> what was the cause of the united states civil war? >> well, don't come with an easy question, right? i mean i think the cause of the civil war was basically how government was going to run. the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. what do you think the cause of the civil war was? i'm sorry? >> i'm not running for president. i wanted to get your view. >> i think it always comes down to the role of government. >> you answer the question without mentioning the word slavery. >> what do you want me to say about slavery? >> you've answered my question.

thank you. >> next question. >> reporter: i should mention we approached the questioner there at the end of the event to try to get his name, where he's from. he neglected to tell us. aside from that, haley really trying to convince new hampshire voters in these pivotal closing weeks that they can be the decision makers. she told them that they don't just read the headlines, they make the headlines. and that she is the person that can go up against former donald trump and ultimate ultly beat president biden in a general election. with trump far ahead in the polls? are asking whether he's starting to think about a running mate, specifically nikki haley. >> i'm not considering anybody at this time. i know her very well. i actually got along with her very well. as you know, she left in a nice ceremony at the white house, you know, it was very nice. she said terrific things about

me. she said he's a great president. and then she decided out of nowhere to run. so i was a little surprised at that, but that is a politician. >> the question for the republican candidates not named donald trump, can anyone catch up with the frontrunner. here is scott jennings. >> reporter: if somebody totally beats expectations, let's say ron desantis gets within five points in iowa, he will jump over expectations. or if haley beats desantis in iowa or gets close to trump or beats trump in new hampshire, that can create almost immediate shifts in the polling moving forward. but if trump were to win by significant margins in the first two states, i think this thing is academic at that point. for desantis it has always been iowa or bust. that is where voters are most likely to buy into his kind of politics. that is where they have invested a ton in the ground game and they think they are well organized. so for him, keep the ball
