lost his career. he had lost his freedom. just the the realization of of the waste that your life had become had to have been profound why aaron hernandez ended his life when he did. >> but those closest to him play some of the blame for his suicide and his erratic behavior on the brain damage he clearly suffered from the game of football. and here's an ironic twist. in massachusetts, if a convicted felon dies before his appeal has been heard, then his original conviction is thrown out. so, in the eyes of the law, aaron hernandez died an innocent man. >> i'm hill harper thanks for watching

foster in london. just ahead. donald trump's controversial cabinet. the president elect's pick for defense secretary embroiled in even more scandal just days after being named president joe biden and chinese president xi jinping hold their final meeting together as world leaders as china tries to gauge what a trump presidency means for them. and explosions rocked beirut as officials discuss a ceasefire proposal in lebanon live from london. >> this is cnn newsroom with max foster we begin with new information about a scandal involving donald trump's pick to be secretary of defense. >> pete hegseth attorney says he paid the woman who accused him of sexual assault, but denies assaulting her. the payment was part of a settlement that included a confidentiality agreement. haig's attorney says the incident was a consensual

sexual encounter. hegseth hasn't been charged in any criminal case or named as a defendant in any civil lawsuit in connection with the incident. as for trump himself, he spent saturday night in new york at an ultimate fighting event. he was with several allies and newly selected administration picks including his former rather his choice for health secretary robert f. kennedy jr. and his choice for director of intelligence tulsi gabbard as well as elon musk, house speaker mike johnson and kid rock. earlier in the day, trump selected the head of a fracking company to be his secretary of energy. he's a man who has expressed doubt that climate change is linked to extreme weather. cnn's steve contorno has more from west palm beach in florida. >> donald trump on saturday continued to build out his cabinet, naming chris wright as his secretary of energy. wright is the ceo of liberty energy a company that services oil and

natural gas exploration and production companies. along with his wife, he is also a major republican fundraiser and he's also someone who does not necessarily believe in man made climate change. in fact, he has said there is no climate crisis. of course, that is a belief that donald trump also holds, though it is notable given the department that he will oversee. he will also be named to the newly formed council of national energy that will be chaired as well by doug burgum, the north dakota governor, who was also named by trump as his secretary of the interior. even as trump builds out his incoming administration, he continues to face questions about some of his picks that he has already made including matt gaetz as attorney general. gaetz is a figure who has many enemies on capitol hill for starting intra party fights over the years. he is also the subject of multiple investigations into alleged sexual misconduct and trump

remains steadfast in his determination to get gaetz across the finish line, despite concerns that he cannot get the 51 votes in the u.s. senate to be confirmed. a source telling cnn on saturday that trump remains, quote, 100% committed to seeing matt gaetz through and believes that he is one of the most important, if not the most important appointments of his cabinet this source telling cnn he is not going to back off. he's all in on matt gaetz steve contorno, cnn west palm beach, florida richard johnson watching this unfold from london. >> he's a lecturer in us politics at queen mary university. thank you for joining us. i mean, we've got a climate skeptic now potentially running you know, the energy brief. you've got a vaccine skeptic running the health brief potentially as well. what do you think, donald trump is trying to say and do here elections have consequences and

trump is using probably the moment that he has maximum political influence. >> i would say much more so than eight years ago when he came into the white house to try to put in and install people who are of his mindset in, in, in top positions. this is going to be very difficult for some republican senators. he has a different senate now than he did eight years ago. and what i mean by that is that republican elected officials have learned that if they cross trump, they jeopardize their position because many of the republican senators and congressmen and other officials who went against trump in the days gone by, they lost primary challenges and so even those republican senators who may have serious reservations over some of these nominees and more coming out about them day by day, they're going to be under

intense pressure from the republican grassroots to stay loyal to trump. and that's the test that they'll be under over the next couple of months. >> and if we look at the senate, um it is much more maga than it was last time. trump came to power. of course i mean, what sort of numbers are we talking about of moderate republicans who could be swayed or go with their own conscience well the two that immediately come to mind are susan collins in maine and lisa murkowski in alaska who have demonstrated at various intervals some degree of independence from donald trump. >> they were part of the trio that killed trump's attempt in his first term to uh, to repeal obamacare along with with john mccain, who, of course is has passed away um, trump can afford to lose those two votes. he can afford to lose a third vote if if the vote is 5050, in

the senate then jd vance, as the president of the senate, casts the casting vote. >> i think there are other senators who are not dyed in the wool trump supporters but have, as i was sort of saying before, they're they're going to be much more reticent in directly challenging trump, at least publicly. but i think one thing that's interesting, if i may say is that if we look at the leadership election for the republican leader, the stated preferences of the senators are somewhat different from the revealed preferences. and that what i mean by that is that john thune, who was a more moderate figure than rick scott, won the election in a secret ballot. and, of course, these nominations, these confirmation votes are not a secret vote. and i do think that if they were secret, if it was a secret ballot trump would probably lose a lot more of these confirmation votes than he will when it's on the record ballot, because the republican grassroots voters who voted in the primaries will be able to follow along and put pressure on their senators. >> what about the idea that

people are being put in charge of departments who don't believe in what those departments have been doing um, it's going to be a challenge, isn't it? keeping the departments on board for a start. but you know, you know, there are issues with, um, the way these places are often run, there always are because they're big organizations and a lot of people will be thinking they do need to be disrupted well, this is actually a much longer standing tactic of of the sort of conservative political movement in the united states. >> i mean, you can go back to the reagan administration when president reagan installed people, uh, as the head of, um the housing urban development or in the justice department or in the economic opportunity office who weren't really believers in what we might call the kind of founding mission of many of these these departments or certainly felt that these departments were much more proactive than they they ought to be trump, in his first

administration, also installed people whose uh, personal politics often went against the sort of historic mission of, uh, of agencies like, say, the epa, the environmental protection agency and so we're seeing a continuation and an intensification of that in the last administration, there was some internal pushback from career civil servants. and there are accounts of the first trump presidency where career civil servants did, in some cases seem to soft pedal some of the the moves that were coming out from from trump and his his closest advisers. this time, the trump administration is going to be, i think, much more determined to root out internal, um dissidents as they would see it. and what that probably means is removing some of the employment protections that some civil servants have, or at least threatening that as a way of ensuring compliance with the mission of the of the agency heads.

>> okay richard, as ever, thank you so much for joining us today with your analysis well candid, constructive and wide ranging. that's how one u.s. official described the final meeting between us president joe biden and his chinese counterpart, xi jinping meeting on the sidelines of the apec summit in lima, peru. the leaders agreed that i should never be allowed to control nuclear weapons. president xi said he hoped for continued stability and cooperation in the us-china relationship, and mr. biden raised issues including taiwan trade, the presence of north korean troops in ukraine, which he called deeply dangerous. for more, cnn's mark stewart joins us now live from beijing. this question of whether i should control nuclear weapons is, you know, a lot of people will be asking whether it should be, you know they will wonder, you know be amazed rather at the question being asked in the first place. >> max. look, i think this is a

question and a situation that the world finds in that is very unsettling. and for that reason, this has been something that the biden administration has talked about something that was brought up in conversation with china. so there was agreement to form a process in place when it comes to the most sensitive of issues concerning ai such as the use of a nuclear weapon that any of the human checks would never be skirted, and that there would be human intervention with all of that said, on such a heavy topic, the point of this meeting wasn't so much about agreements and treaties or deliverables, but this was also a chance. in fact, the prime goal of china at least a chance to send a signal to the incoming trump administration that it very much favors this idea of open communication and stability in fact, we were looking at some of the reporting earlier today from chinese state media and among the phrases that president xi

was conveying to president biden was win win cooperation mutual respect peaceful coexistence. what is interesting is that when president-elect trump was, was, was elected beijing president she gave a congratulatory message and these exact phrases were used in that so beijing realizes with this incoming trump administration, it's going to be very important to play it diplomatically safe. in fact, a lot of talk about managing differences and striving for a smooth transition of china president xi and president trump certainly are familiar with each other. it was back in hosted president xi at mar-a-lago. it was a photo op in the making and there were some definitely some high moments. i mean, i think everyone goes back to that moment when the two leaders shared chocolate cake. their wives were there but things did

change. first of all, a lot of these trade and tariff issues became very complicated, very thorny, and then, of course, we saw president-elect trump when he was president, at least the first time around, criticized china about its covid response. so this is what beijing is going to have to balance going in. and that's why it has been making this very concerted effort using the best of diplomatic speak to try to have an open arms, open line feeling for for this incoming trump white house. but there are going to be some very difficult times ahead, most likely first of all, if we look at the cabinet, if marco rubio is indeed confirmed as secretary of state, he is a well known china hawk as well as many others in the trump circle. and they will be confronting very difficult issues such as trade. that's one thing that makes the china-us relationship very difficult is that china very much believes in this idea of

for tat. you hurt me. we will do something to hurt you back. so all of that looms over these very sensitive issues, including that of trade and tariffs and now looking ahead to the trump administration, she would have wanted to get as much information from as possible from biden about how china might handle that what do you think he gleaned has made a very big point to say, you know, we are we are this administration. >> the next administration is going to operate as to how it chooses. we do know that beijing is is trying to get insight. maybe not necessarily from the administration, but just on its own research, to try to get some kind of game plan in place because it wasn't that long ago that diplomats here in beijing spent many sleepless nights worried about what they would wake up

to the next morning. and that is a theme that, uh, it has been projected during this most recent apec meeting. and then also the g20, which begins this week as well. this incoming trump white house is going to certainly be a point of conversation with many of these world leaders. >> okay. mark stewart in beijing, thank you so much. cnn analyst david sanger says china's no limits partnership with russia will complicate relations between washington and beijing even further in the second trump term while you look at these images, it looks like every other china-us meeting you've seen i'm just a few miles right now from place a year ago and the thought was at that time that that was stabilizing the relationship in fact, on both sides it's not as stable as it looks. >> obviously the entry of president trump, uh, brings upon the possibility not only

of tariffs other policies that the u.s. has pursued including military to military communication including, uh, a fairly lengthy dialog on the future of the south china sea and on taiwan, on which president trump's views are still not well known but the biggest difference is that when trump left power four years ago, the relationship that exists now between russia and china was really nascent. it had not turned into much. now we have china supporting russia's invasion of ukraine providing it with technology and the question is going to be is president trump going to view it as his strategy to get in the way of that superpower partnership and we don't know, it was never came up in the course of the campaign. it's

probably the biggest single change in geopolitics since trump left office u.s. >> and european leaders accused china of enabling the russian war effort in ukraine by sending tools and technology to produce missiles aircraft and tanks as well. the fourth typhoon to hit the philippines in less than two weeks is battering the country right now. manny has regained strength and is a super typhoon once again, with sustained winds of 240km/h, it's beginning to make its way across the more populated areas now north of manila. meanwhile, more than half a million people have been reportedly evacuated across the eastern regions already turning to central america, where heavy rains from tropical storm sara are spreading over parts of belize and the yucatan peninsula. in honduras, tens of thousands have been affected by the storm, with at least one person dead. officials report more than 100 homes and several bridges have been damaged. and lebanon's capital, seeing the scenes that have become all too

considering this proposal and that we may expect to see an official response as early as monday night, though, of course, with these sorts of things and with past previous attempts to secure a cease fire, that may not necessarily pan out as is hoped. but of course, there is some optimism that this might be able to bring some calm to lebanon after what has been weeks of near nonstop bombardment, including in the country's capital beirut, where we continue to see airstrikes now, this current proposal on the table would stipulate a 60 day pause in fighting in the hope that this would then lead to a lasting ceasefire proposal and what is crucial here is that officials and sources tell cnn that this current ceasefire proposal stands within the parameters of the un 1701 resolution, which brought an end to the 2006 israel-lebanon war. crucially that resolution says that the armed forces or armed presence in southern lebanon beneath the litani river, should only be the lebanese army and un peacekeeping forces. crucially,

that would mean no presence by hezbollah militants in this particular area of southern lebanon. of course israeli government has continuously pushed for hezbollah forces to be pushed out of southern lebanon, so this would be a crucial step in terms of trying to secure some sort of peace between hezbollah and israel. and of course, it would be a significant concession on the part of hezbollah. it remains to be seen whether or not they agree to this current proposal on the table. but there is certainly mounting pressure as we continue to see the israeli forces expanding their incursion in southern lebanon. of course, as you mentioned, the continuous airstrikes that are now targeting parts of beirut. >> okay. nada thank you so much for more analysis. we're joined by h.a. hellyer, a senior associate fellow at the royal united services institute for defense and security studies. he's speaking with us today from cairo in egypt. thank you so much for joining us uh, what do you think hezbollah's thinking is right now so i think that hezbollah recognizes

that the moment that they they change their position on, uh, what's frankly, in lebanese sovereignty, then their own standing in lebanon. >> i think would diminish tremendously um, so i think that they will keep on fighting. um, i think that there is, uh, a recognition that if they don't move somewhat towards negotiations, then the israelis are going to increase their attacks. they're going to increase the scale of attacks. in fact, israeli media, um, pretty much reported that last night, um, that the the idea behind the increased, uh, attacks on lebanon was a way to entice lebanese parties to the negotiation table. >> um but what we might find is that if the attacks from the israelis on lebanon increase, then the attacks from hezbollah might increase, because they really have only one of two options capitulation um, which doesn't seem to be the way that they're going as of yet or to

show that they still have a fighting force ready to strike. >> what has to be in any potential deal for israel to sign it what has to be in any potential deal for the lebanese to sign it? >> i mean the lebanese are insisting on the upholding of un resolutions um, and the israelis are clearly trying to, uh, trying to negate them. i mean, the attacks in and around areas where you have unifil, the united nations special force for the south of lebanon, from the israelis has been quite intense over the last month. in particular, there's been an increased effort on the israeli side to get those forces to be removed from lebanon, even though they are there by united nations security council mandate. um, so i think what has to happen in order for the israelis to sign the deal is for external

powers to make it clear to them that they have to uphold international law. and un resolutions. um, and unfortunately, at the moment, the power that is most able to do that seems unwilling to do that, i.e., the united states. >> do you think they're after a very wide buffer zone basically between them and hezbollah i think that they're after a wide buffer zone. >> i also think that they're looking for, um de jure as opposed to de facto, but de jure permission for israeli forces to move into the south of lebanon whenever they see fit. um, whether on the ground or in the air, i.e. in airspace. um, and i think that that's going to be a no go for the lebanese government for hezbollah. um, frankly i don't think that there will be anybody in lebanon who would accede to that uh, where does public support stand right now for hezbollah obviously, they didn't have full support of the

lebanese. >> a lot of people assume that they did. but there's lots of people that don't support hezbollah is it weakening the support that they do have, though, because of the you know, the apparent losses they're receiving as a lack of defense against israel >> so i don't think that the question here is really about support for hezbollah. i think actually the support for hezbollah is pretty low in comparison to the entirety of the lebanese population. i think what you do find, however, is that in spite of not just lack of support, but outright opposition to hezbollah, um, i think the the near entirety of lebanese public opinion is opposed to these israeli operations, irrespective of how israel is framing them as attacks on hezbollah. it's lebanese more generally that are suffering the losses and they don't see a distinction here. um, if there is indeed a distinction here, the, the the israeli strikes are not simply striking

hezbollah, they're striking lebanon. they're striking civilian areas. >> um and i think that lebanese public opinion um, is very immune to this idea of sort of splitting them off in that regard. it's not to say that this means increased support for hezbollah. i don't think that that's the case. um, i think that it means a rallying around a defending lebanon against this israeli campaign. >> okay thank you so much, as ever, for joining us with your analysis of the region there. now, a stabbing attack in eastern china has killed eight people and injured 17 others. it happened saturday night on a college campus a suspect was taken into custody at the scene. police said the suspect is a recent graduate of the college. he failed an exam and didn't receive a graduation certificate and was dissatisfied with internship compensation. this is the latest mass casualty incident in the country. last monday, 35 people were killed and 40 injured when a driver plowed

and this is cnn largest air attacks across ukraine over the past few hours seen shooting down incoming missiles in the skies over kyiv

early on sunday. >> excuse me? at least two people have been killed and eight wounded. officials in ukraine say the targets or the attacks targeted energy facilities using both drones and missiles. blasts could be heard across the country, including the western regions. ukraine's foreign minister slammed russia for launching air attacks against, quote, peaceful cities, sleeping civilians and critical infrastructure. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, says he believes russia's war in ukraine will end faster once donald trump takes office. here's what he told a ukrainian radio station on friday i believe that the war will end and it will not end in the abstract, but there is no exact date. however, the war will end faster with the policy of this team that will now lead the white house. this is their approach, their promise to their society, and it is also very important to them well,

president elect trump has repeatedly claimed that the war in ukraine, which has been raging for more than two and a half years, would not have happened if he was in the white house during his campaign. >> he vowed he could settle the war in one day, but never explained quite how he was going to go about it. cnn's national security analyst beth saner explains the potential scenarios in some ways, i think that there are certainly parts of ukrainian society and leadership who welcomes the trump administration and their kind of realistic approach and they're hoping that what happens in the end here is that trump will realize that russia actually is not willing to compromise, and that he is going to have to support them and force russia to make compromises i think the worst case is, is probably not the least is not the most likely. i do not think that president trump wants to go down as the

greater greatest appeaser of russia in history. um, you know, like looking like a chamberlain. i don't think he wants to do that. i think he wants to end this war but, um, and i think that he believes that it is unfair terms. i think that fairness is in the eyes of the beholder. and so that that that measurement stick is really going to be about how each side sees this, and it's going to be a little harder than it looks at first glance. >> the eu has vowed to stand with ukraine regardless of what changes in us policy may take place under the trump administration. now it's time for former new york mayor and trump associate rudy giuliani to pay up and begin handing over luxury assets to the two georgia election workers that he defamed. some of those items include a mercedes convertible, a diamond ring and his manhattan apartment. there's also a sizable luxury watch collection. the former new york mayor has owed nearly $150

million for almost a year now. cnn correspondent gloria pazmino is following the story that's right. >> there's a long list of items that former mayor rudy giuliani is supposed to hand over to shaye moss and ruby freeman. they are the two women who sued him for defamation and a judge found that he had the fame them after he without evidence, accused them of having tried to steal the 2020 election and of rigging the votes in georgia. now, some of the items that giuliani has to turn over include his $6 million apartment, a watch collection, a diamond ring, a furniture, a television and a 1980 mercedes benz convertible. now, this past friday was a critical deadline for giuliani, who has tried to delay having to turn over some of these items while he tries to argue that he should be allowed to

keep some of them. but we we got video from friday showing one of his assistants preparing to ship the luxury watch collection via fedex to both shaye moss and ruby freeman. now, this is a remarkable fall from grace for the former mayor of new york city, a man who was once referred to as america's mayor. and it's been a long running saga. after he accused moss and freeman of having something to do with rigging the election, which, of course, we know did not happen. now, in the last several months, giuliani has tried to delay this judgment at first by arguing that he was bankrupt, that proceeding was thrown out of court after he failed to comply with basic requirements of the court. and now, by saying that he wants to be able to hold on to some of the items

there are some things in the list of things that giuliani has to turn over that the judge will still get to decide on, but for now, the process has started. now we're talking against giuliani. so the reality is that it's unlikely he'll ever be able to fully pay what he owes to moss and freeman. but for now, by turning over his watch collection as well as his apartment, some of the sports memorabilia, as well as the car, it seems that that process has finally gotten started. gloria pazmino, cnn new york. >> and a new federal court filing. prosecutors say sean "diddy" combs is trying to obstruct the investigation into his sex trafficking case and trying to taint the jury pool. prosecutors allege that even while behind bars diddy has been using other inmates phone accounts to contact people he's not supposed to. the music mogul allegedly has sought to

contact potential witnesses and accusers with the goal of blackmailing them. the court filing argues that diddy should not be entitled to another bail hearing in the wake of these allegations. cnn legal analyst joey jackson explains there's large issues in the filing of the government and that is that remember what diddy is doing. >> his immediate objective is to have another bail hearing remember, he has made efforts to be released on bail. the first time it was denied, the second time it was denied. this motion seeks to secure a third bail hearing where he would be released from jail. we should note that the judges previously were concerned about two major issues. one is whether he posed a danger to the community. they answered yes, the other issue is whether he would obstruct and influence witnesses while released on bail and that was apparently a concern and so here, as it relates to the allegations that the government says, and that is him flouting rules, mr. combs, in jail, that does not bode well either to

permitting another hearing for him to potentially be released, or to actually getting released if he has that. and so to the extent that you cannot follow rules allegedly while you're in a facility that doesn't speak well to your ability to follow them once you would be released from a facility. and that's really the issues here. >> well, coming up, why a reliably blue state is not as blue as it's been in the latest election and the issues moving voters to the right >> back to back. new episodes of how it really happened wasn't just about tampering. >> it was about evil why did they do it? >> this pathological how it really happened. >> tonight at nine on cnn ocd is more than what you see on tv and in the movies it comes with unrelenting intrusive images, thoughts and urges. >> if you have ocd and need
