this is cnn newsroom. we are learning more about who could and who will not be in the next administration, the latest on the unusually complex transition process by the president alex team. trumps trip to the white house will likely be another major blow to the fight against climate change. we look at the plans and discuss the potential consequences. qatar says israel and hamas are no longer negotiating in good faith. the latest in the peace talks. live from atlanta, this is cnn newsroom. five days after tuesday's presidential election, the final outstanding state has been called. cnn can project trump takes the state of arizona which means despite the harris campaign spending $1 billion, they failed to take a

single battleground state. trumps total electoral vote count stands at 312 versus 226 for harris. republicans will also take back control of the senate and are bullish on the chances of holding onto the house, this comes with a presidential transition office underway. trump views the ag as the most important position and missouri senator eric schmidt is one of the candidates at the top of the list so while we wait for more detail on who is in we are also learning who is out for a second administration. his former rival nikki haley and mike pompeo not be asked to join the new team. alina has more. >> reporter: president-elect trump spent his saturday locked

down in florida meeting his transition team and going to a series of candidates he is considering selecting for top cabinet rolls as well as white house positions. on saturday he did not announce new people that will be serving in his second administration but he did announce who will not be. he talked about not wanting his former secretary of state mark mike pompeo or nikki haley to have any part in his second term. i will read some of what he wrote. he said i will not be inviting nikki haley or mike pompeo to join the trump administration which is currently in formation. i enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously and would like to thank them for their service to the country. make america great again. to give you context summer some of this is coming from, mike pompeo is someone who many people in trumps inner orbit is still close to and believe he did a good job as secretary of state however his relationship with trump has soured in recent years particularly because

pompeo had distanced himself from the former president after he left office in january 2021. remind you that mike pompeo did not endorse trump until after the republican primaries this year . something as we know trump viewed as not being as loyal to him. in my conversations with advisors, they argued in private conversations over the past few days. trump asked them whether or not pompeo would be loyal to him or if he could trust him in a second term. for nikki haley trump said he appreciates she got up on stage after national convention in july and called for unity and remember she actually had been in discussions with the trump campaign in the final weeks before election day about potentially meeting for a joint appearance and helping him campaign. that never materialized but again trump had said he appreciated that on some level. however i am told that the president elect still

harbors a lot of animosity toward haley for the attacks she lobbed at him during the republican primary but also she remained in the primary for so long. trump remarked that he believes she hung on longer than what was appropriate. cnn, florida. trump and his transition team are already behind schedule and accessing key briefings from the biden demonstration. a source says the delay is partly because of their concerns over a mandatory ethics pledge to avoid conflicts of interest. meanwhile he is set to meet biden at the white house on wednesday. it is a political tradition that projects a peaceful transfer of power. >> reporter: biden is looking to bring back a white house trend tradition as he hosts trump in the oval office wednesday morning. he extended this invitation to trump in the phone call on wednesday when the president congratulated the

former president on his victory in the election. he directly told trump he is committed to a peaceful and orderly transition which is not something that occurred when biden beat trump in 2020. at the time trump put up many roadblocks in the transition process and never conceded the race and did not extend the same invitation to biden. trump did come to the white house in 2016 days after beating hillary clinton and was hosted by ben resident obama in the oval office. we are also told a invitation was extended to first lady millennia to come to the white house to meet with first lady joe biden, it is unclear if or when that meeting will take place but it is part of the white house's efforts to show they will assist in this transition. it could be a interesting meeting between the two men given the fact that one of their last substantive in-person engagement was back on the debate stage engine which derailed biden's

candidacy and eventually prompted him to drop out. the two men have spoken since then, biden called trump following the assassination attempts against him and they were both at the same new york city 911 event earlier this fall but this will be a interesting meeting as the two men are set to meet face to face in the oval office. biden is now facing a reality where the man who preceded him, who he beat in the 2020 election will now be returning to the white house in january. cnn, washington. demonstrators at washington dc gathered saturday to protest trumps election victory. it was organized by the women's margin was billed as a rapid response time to resist action. protesters marched to the heritage foundation, the conservative think tank that created project 2025. the director said the goal was to inspire hope and build community.

>> our message is to the people, we have hope that there are things we can do and we will keep fighting for ourselves and each other. there are other folks they can connect to no matter where they are. they can find like-minded people in power in their communities. >> there was a strong show of support for reproductive rights in 10 u.s. states where abortion preventions were on the pallets this week. we look at what this means for abortion access. >> reporter: these are the states that voted this week to protect abortion rights, arizona, colorado, maryland, missouri, and montana, nevada and new york but in most states, five total, colorado, maryland, montana, nevada and new york, abortion is already legal and the pallet measures maintain access under the state's constitution. voters in two states, arizona and missouri approved measures to expand abortion access and keep in mind even if the pallet measures in arizona and missouri improve access in the

states, 40% of women of reproductive age will still be living in states where abortion is either banned or restricted. it is not clear what the new trump administration's strategy will be around abortion. we know that the campaign has said he will veto a federal abortion ban if elected but we have also his seen his position shift many times over the years. earlier presidential historian douglas spoke to cnn about the first 100 days of a new trump term and what it could look like. >> one thing i am looking at is what is going on with ukraine and russia. on wednesday president biden will be meeting with trump and i am positive he is going to try to convince trump to stay the course with ukraine and double down at least for six more months and meanwhile biden is trying to

arm them with missile systems as quickly as possible. the other thing, the deportation of undocumented workers and for trump i think that is first and foremost in his mind. with hyperbole on the campaign trail trump talked about 11 million undocumented workers being rounded up and deported. you will not get 11 million but there will be millions and that has to be the first project for trump along with securing the border and he will sign every executive order he can come up with. not all will stick but a lot will and that will get him rolling on the first 100 days. >> has he mentioned he weighed in on what history tells us could come next with republicans essentially controlling the white house and both chambers of congress. >> the republicans do not want to get ahead of their skis here, yes they want to do this 100 they crunch but time changes in things happen. midterms are two years away. if

republicans maintain it will just be by a few representatives. everybody has to stay the course and not panic. it is a two-party system. the question i would have is who is the resistance to trump and the democratic party now? we do not know what harris will do as the next president, joe biden is at the end of his line, obama may try to play a elder statesman role. i think you will see gavin newsom will be the resistance leader for six months particularly when it comes to public lands and climate and then you will see the democratic national convention committee do a rethink and start looking for who can be leadership in two years. who can connect with the american public. there has to be some humility on the democratic side, they lost badly. >> the trump presidency make

the infirmity point of contention between those on both sides of the aisle. trump's transition team has already begun preparing a series of executive actions related to energy and climate. that is what sources familiar with the plans tell cnn. the president-elect is looking to fulfill his campaign promise of withdrawing the u.s. from the paris climate agreement and some former officials floated the idea of pulling the u.s. entirely out of the un treaty to confront climate change. meanwhile it seems the by demonstration is preparing for the worst. hours after trump was protected to be the winner the white house moved to limit oil drilling in alaska's arctic wildlife refuge, a target in trumps 2017 tax law which would require a oil and tax drilling lease sale before the end of the year. joining us now is hannah the national coordinator of climate live usa and the researcher at the sanford school of medicine. thank you for being here with us again. you and i talked a couple of days before the

election . i imagine now with trumps victory there is plenty of dismay among people who care about climate change. i want to play some sound from trump on the campaign trail promising what he would do right away. >> i will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. we will and her war on american energy and we will drill. >> we have heard that slogan before but the timing, on day one, he said obviously there are things he needs to pass through congress but there is plenty he can actually do or undo right away right? >> thank you for having me. we have watched this movie before and it is not pretty. trump quickly tried to dismantle obama's climate legacy and he will surely try to do it again in the second term. the thing is, environmental protections

are right for shaping to the executive action and power of the presidency, that is wonderful if you are biden and putting us back in the paris agreement on day one, it is not wonderful if you are trump and promising to take us out of the agreement. you are likely going to populate your environmental protection agency with fossil fuel lobbyists. you will move the epa headquarters out of washington, you want to expand mining and drilling on public land, want to roll back rules that limit pollution from power plants, these are rings he has eluded to on the campaign trail or have come to light after the election so we watched this movie before and i am not looking forward to the second round. >> in the first version we saw california acting as a bulwark against some of the moves. we heard from the governor of your state that the state is again planning to form the resistance against his policies trying to trump prove themselves on things like climate change. can a state face down a president on this issue? on what policies

do you think california might actually be victorious? >> they certainly can. i often think of it like the boardgame jingo. you move one piece the tower can crumble or sometimes you can remove multiple pieces and it is still fortified so the goal is how can we really fortified biden's climate legacy to be as much a thorn in the side of the trump administration as we can and make it harder for them to initiate some of the rollbacks. in california what they are doing is fortifying their work on introducing electric vehicles and making those a priority by 2035 and we also know the energy department is doing something interesting. they are trying to quickly wrapup a study on u.s. exports of liquefied natural gas. if those exports are found to not be in the public interest by the study that can open up a legal lever to use against the trump administration , he will

likely try to expand these projects. there are ways to march forward with hope and i encourage more people to try to do it. i know this is a time of doom and gloom along my colleagues but there are embers of hope. >> we know a lot of environmental lawyers, we can hear them sharpening their pens already. the consequence of this, the second largest contributor of greenhouse gases going back to its old ways, pulling out climate agreements, what might that mean concretely in terms of reaching that dreaded point of no return on global warming? >> it is a terrible year to be having the conversation because climate change has been front and center. we have had the hottest day in recorded history this summer, we are on track to be the hottest year in recorded history, reaching the 1 1/2 celsius limit on warming that

we have been warning about since 2015 so this is the year when we need big climate action the most. we need the u.s. to step up into the global leadership role and we are reneging deposition leaving a wide open climate leadership vacuum and that is something that concerns me with the climate change conference coming up on monday. who will fill that global climate leadership role? it will probably not be the u.s. >> it will be interesting to see, maybe we can connect with you after that un conference, i know you are going as a delegate so we will see what the consensus is there and how they regroup after that. in the face of what promises to be a turbulent year here in the u.s. in terms of climate change. great to talk to you again. thank you for being here with us. really appreciate it. law enforcement authorities are trying to identify the source of racist texts sent to black people throughout the u.s. plus negotiating a cease-fire in gaza becomes more of a challenge after key

mediators put their work on pause. stay with us.

heart wrenching video shows the aftermath of a is really

strike in northern gaza. we want to warn you some of the footage is disturbing. a local hospital says at least 25 people were killed in the city. the majority of them were reportedly children. whose remains appear to be lined up outside of a hospital and covered in blankets. meanwhile a un report says they found 70% of the people killed in gaza were women and children. the report looked at the first six months of the war. the human rights office says the number indicates a systemic violation of international law. cnn has reached out for a response from israel. qatar is pressing paws on efforts to mediate a cease-fire. they reportedly concluded that neither hamas or israel is serious about talks anymore. one diplomat says the long-established hamas office in qatar will have to go for now. for more we are joined

from abu dhabi. we are getting a few more details from qatar about its role as mediator in the state of negotiations. what are we learning? >> reporter: what they are saying is about 10 days ago they notified the parties involved that if that particular round of negotiations did not end up with a agreement then they were going to suspend their efforts and that is what they have now announced, the fact that they are now suspending their role as a mediator because they believe there is a lack of willingness and good faith negotiations on both sides. so both hamas and israel. qatar has been key, it has played a central role when it comes to negotiations or attempts to finalize some kind of cease-fire deal which would see the remaining israeli hostages in gaza being released which would see palestinian prisoners being released and humanitarian aid getting into the areas that

are most needed so it is devastating news on a number of fronts. what we have heard from a senior administration official is that qatar has played a invaluable role, they were key when it came to the one hostage release deal that happened a year ago now. we are hearing that there was simply not enough goodwill on both sides . neither side was willing to compromise it appears. so they decided to pause their role. they are not saying this is long-term or the end of it. they say if talks to restart they will consider being part of them again. we note they also said they are suspending the hamas offices in qatar. their political bureau are based there although there does not appear to be a deadline or ultimatum for them

to leave the country. again officials say that can be reversed if they show good faith and start the talks again. we have heard from the biden administration with a key role qatar played in these negotiations. also egypt has been playing a role but we heard from a senior administration official that no hamas official should be welcome in a country where they are allied with, especially as this official says, hamas rejected any kind of hostage release, even a small one which had been negotiated and floated in cairo in recent weeks. >> we saw from the latest strike on the hospital what the costs of prolonging the war can be. thank you so much. the u.s. has carried out new strikes on targets in yemen. the defense officials said the targets included weapons storage facilities at three different locations. that you run fact group has been

attacking shipping in the red sea and the gulf. the u.s. has targeted them before but the latest strikes involve u.s. fighter jets according to the official. ukraine says it launched a drone attack on a russian chemical plant overnight on saturday. according to ukraine's security service, 13 drones hit their targets in western russia. the chemical plant produces gunpowder and ammunition for the russian army and is part of a comprehensive operation against facilities involved in the war on ukraine. one source told cnn that a nearby thermal power plant was also damaged. according to russian state media the president signed into law a defense treaty with north korea. he signed the treaty while visiting the north korean leader in june before sending

it to parliament for approval . the law calls for both countries to come to each other's aid if either are attacked and this comes as thousands of north korean troops are already helping russia in its war against ukraine. they say they are engaged in combat along ukraine's northern border. the u.s. election dominated conversations among european leaders as they met to strategize a way forward in a changing political climate. we have that story ahead. later a ban on protests in amsterdam. a investigation into thursday's violence after a soccer game. stay with us.

welcome back to all of you watching us in the u.s., canada and around the world. this is cnn newsroom. back to the top story, arizona has gone to trump giving the president-elect a clean sweep of the swing states. the battle of congress still rages. the republicans cleared the senate and bullish on keeping the house. democrats have 205 seats with republicans with 213. the magic number to reach majority is 218. republicans are five seats away from a unified government. democrats still have a chance with the majority of the remaining races in california. in the senate republicans will have a 52 seat majority and vote counting is still underway into swing state races. in the wake of the election dozens of european leaders were gathered in budapest, many are from countries where right-wing populist have already been gaining ground and they are seeking a path forward in a highly uncertain clinical climate. nick robertson has details.

>> reporter: raging wars in ukraine and the mideast. a informal alliance of enemies, russia, china, iran and north korea and the obvious changes in world order, these are what trump inherits. let's talked about since he left office in 2021, the political weakening of some of his former allies. particularly in europe. elections in france undermined presidency manuals standing. chancellor olaf has a tanking economy and a collapsing government coalition. both of these powerhouses losing political ground. two right-wing populist. they are on the rise across europe. in italy a right-wing populist

georgia maloney took elections, as a fan of trump but trump also lost supporters. uk p.m. boris johnson gone from power. the conservative party trounced in recent elections by trend bucking left leaning labor party. where all of these changes get tested first , likely over trump's campaign promise to end russia's war in ukraine. in a day. as well as threats to pull america's ukraine funding. as almost 50 european leaders gathered in budapest just two days after the u.s. elections, trumps victory and ukraine are eight top topic. trump ally and meeting host the gary and p.m. victor in close conversation with macron. just a tip of the iceberg of debate on this frosty issue. later with ukraine's leader as well. the

unspoken question, can europe go it alone? >> we should be clear on this, european security is not something we outsource to somebody else like the u.s. >> reporter: macron said the same thing but already clear, the opening pitch to trump, we need you. >> we are open to discussion with the u.s. on how we can work better together. >> reporter: at the sharp end of europe's cell, nato's new chief, another change for trump. >> i look forward to sitting down with trump to discuss how we can face the threats collectively. >> it is a bold gambit but read through it, europe is not ready to stand up to russia alone. cnn, london. thomas is a cnn european affairs commentator. he joins

us from los angeles. thank you for being here with us. we heard the paradox. you are saying we can go it alone but also we need the u.s. what is the mood right now among american allies right now? >> i think the question of who the allies are really are is up in the air. it is clear that leaders like victor in hungry in the slovakian leader were mentioned as strong allies . the question of the historical alliance is more up in the air. the strength of this atlantic relationship moving forward, i think many leaders understood early on in the first trump presidency when he withdrew from the paris climate accords and the iran nuclear deal in his soft position on nato, meant he really was not a

multi-naturalist but a unreliable partner in some ways and biden has spent time trying to restore the relationship but moving forward it is clear that they would like to work with the u.s. but i think there is a growing realization , we saw and with countries like sweden and finland, being part of nato or other countries joining the european union will be a crucial front moving forward and they are working towards greater autonomy in terms of their security and defense apparatus. the problem is, they face regional conflict with ukraine. they are concerned about russia moving forward and also the political situation in the middle east. it is a dramatic transition and there is no guarantee that european voters moving forward will support the greater investments in security and so on. >> that is a great point, specifically on ukraine, much of the talk during the last year with the prospect of a

trump victory has been how to trump proof support for ukraine but now the reality is sinking in. where do things stand specifically on that? >> i think when it comes to ukraine and has enjoyed the support of european union leaders and the u.s. and it is not clear that going forward that there is going to be much commitment to the conflict going on for much longer. we have seen this as a important issue in elections with certain countries in europe do not favor sanctions with russia and others committed to making sure ukraine emerges from this with a deal that is satisfactory to ukraine. i think concern is that the opposite will happen. that peace will be achieved but it is not the resolution that ukraine has fought for. the resolution they want is membership of the european

union, nato and protection from vulnerability in the face of russia moving forward. it is not clear that that is the particular outcome and anything short of that will ultimately be seen as a victory for russia. and as a source of concern to states in the baltics. and for those like mulled over in georgia whose aspirations are to join the european union and be protected in that particular space so i think that is nothing to be watching moving forward and how ukraine accepts or does not that particular resolution or is pressured into accepting something it does not want. >> another thing we are watching is the rise in the far right in europe. what effect do you think the trump presidency may have in terms of spurring that on? >> that is a interesting question. i have been thinking about this a lot, there is many ways in which is one can think about this. on one hand if you

think of the venn diagram of what the far right globally agree upon, it is the anti-immigration agenda a nationalist agenda, a protectionist agenda and it is clear we have seen those gain in popularity either by successfully taking elections in europe or entering into coalition government or moving organizations to the right including nato. it looks like in new configuration will end up with a majority right-leaning or far right leaning group of particular nations that i think the other aspect which is such a concern to so many european leaders on the ways in which these far right political parties, particularly in places like hungary and poland fighting back against this are like trump, committed towards bolstering the power of the executive and that has been achieved by weakening the judiciary, the legislative and also by undermining freedom of the press and i think it is

that particular anti-democratic agenda that so many europeans and european leaders are concerned about moving forward. >> interesting and perhaps worrying to see the many repercussions the selection will have around the world. i appreciate your analysis as always. enqueue. harris is getting some family time in after a rigorous presidential campaign. have a look. you can see the vice president playing games with her grand nieces, these are some of the first pictures we have seen since she conceded to trump. the photos were shared on instragram by her niece. the caption reads back to where it all began. my eternal gratitude to everyone who showed up. straightahead tensions in valencia, spain after the country's worst natural disaster in its history. stay with us.

the investigation continues into the source of racist text sent to black people throughout america in the days following the election. the hate filled messages contained allusions to slavery. >> reporter: the messages appeared to have been sent using free phone services and mobile data providers. one of the providers told cnn the company believes this is a widespread coordinated attack. the hate filled messages had been reported in more than 20 states from new york to california and the district of columbia. students from three historically black colleges and universities in virginia, tennessee and south carolina reported receiving messages and according to nevada's attorney general's office, the texas appear to be robo text messages. one of the biggest questions here is how is it possible to do something like

this anonymously? the louisiana attorney general told cnn friday whether this is a single person or group they are using anonymous software to obscure the location which makes it difficult to track them. as you can imagine this is cause for great concern for those receiving the messages as well as parents and loved ones. >> it is disgusting and whoever is sending it is viable. nobody should ever think to send the message or receive the message. it made me sick to my stomach. >> we do talk about politics, is not something i hide from him. so i make sure he understands what the landscape of his adulthood could look like. the fact that it happened the day after election day, it speaks to what i think is going on. >> the naacp at denounced the messages saying they represent the alarming increase of bio and of warrant rhetoric from

racist groups in the country that now feel emboldened to stoke the flames of fear. we also heard from trump's campaign, a spokeswoman told cnn that trumps presidential campaign has absolutely nothing to do with these text messages. cnn has learned another text messaging service was apparently able to stop a new user from sending racist text messages. they say it was thanks to a.i. that they were immediately flagged the message and prevented it from being sent until they were able to conduct a internal review. the company says they then blocked the message and banned the user from their platform and shared information with local law enforcement and the fbi. cnn, atlanta. the fallout continues from spain's deadliest floods in modern history. on saturday clashes broke out between
