deeper involved in ukraine's war. >> at an utterly key time ultimately, we are seeing here the biden administration and its closing months taking this significant step. >> i think he's not only unqualified, he is really disqualified. are we really going to have an attorney general who there's credible allegations he was involved in child sex trafficking potential illicit drug use the g20 can have a very busy agenda on paper, but it's what happens on the sidelines. >> the private conversations that also could generate news newsroom with max foster and christina macfarlane hello. >> a warm welcome to our viewers joining us from the u.s. and around the world. i'm max foster and i'm christina macfarlane. it's monday, november 18th, 9 a.m. here in london. 4 a.m. in washington
1:02 am
where there's been a significant shift in u.s. policy when it comes to the war in ukraine president joe biden is now allowing kyiv to use powerful long range u.s. >> weapons to strike deeper inside russia. the decision had been under consideration for months as ukrainian president washington for the green light, but u.s. officials have been divided and concerned it could escalate the conflict. >> the weapons, which are said to have a range of about 190 miles, are expected to be used primarily in russia's kursk region. for now, that's where russian forces are looking to take back territory alongside north korean troops who've joined the russian offensive president zelenskyy had this message after the news of the u.s. decision made today. there's a lot of talk in the media about us receiving permission for respective actions but strikes are not carried out with words. such things are not announced. missiles will speak for themselves. they certainly will. >> donald trump's team has
1:03 am
declined to comment with his communications director telling cnn that the incoming president is, quote the only person who can bring both sides together in order to negotiate peace and work towards ending the war and stopping the killing now this decision by president biden comes with just two months left in office and with a lot of uncertainty about the future u.s. support for ukraine. when donald trump returns to the white house. >> more now from cnn's nick paton walsh impact this decision is going to have on the battlefield. >> there simply aren't enough of these attacking, longer range u.s. precision missiles to make a huge impact on russia overnight. and that, i think was one of the elements of the u.s. decision making process. they weren't really going to be able to give enough to ukraine to hugely change the battlefield. what is hugely important, though, is the amount of time in which president joe biden has said he simply didn't want to make this decision because of how escalatory the introduction of these weapons would be.
1:04 am
>> well, here he's made a complete volte face and said, okay, i'm going to introduce this technology and allow ukraine to hit deeper inside of russia now, i should point out that ukraine and the gap while waiting for the white house to make its mind up, has been developing longer range drones, and they've been quite successful at hitting various airports. parts of russian energy infrastructure wreaking havoc frankly, at a pretty low cost. and indeed, it's a program that the u.s. decided to try and assist and fund. according to some reports, because it was doing quite so well. but the symbolic nature of this is what is so entirely key they won't necessarily have enough missiles to make a big difference, but this gets the united states deeper involved in ukraine's war at utterly key time. the white house is saying this is a response to russia's escalation of introducing north korean troops into the fight most likely to retake the kursk region that ukraine invaded back in august but ultimately, we are seeing here the biden administration and its closing months taking
1:05 am
this significant step now, it will likely complicate the life of donald trump potentially, he can reverse this decision when he becomes president on january the 20th. in a matter of hours. but it certainly puts the u.s. deeper inside this war and potentially will make the kremlin maybe angrier and demand more at the negotiating table. this also follows a very familiar pattern for the biden administration when they, in terms of their aid they've been giving to ukraine. we've seen with the himars precision missiles, with the abrams tank, with the f-16 jet, all things ukraine has asked for for months and then been told by the white house they can't have them. allies have stepped forward and publicly and privately briefed how much they want this technology to be given to ukraine, and then ultimately, almost when perhaps ukraine has given up asking that technology is furnished to kyiv, it's exactly the same story with these atacms. now we are in an utterly key moment here. these new missiles may not change the battlefield. in fact, there have been some suggestions by us officials
1:06 am
that key attack aircraft that these missiles may have been mean, that have moved out of their range deeper inside of russia. although some analysts have presented a long list of targets, they could still potentially hit in the next 2 to 3 months. we're going to see ukraine and russia throw everything they can to put themselves potentially in the best position on the battlefield ahead of the trump administration. we don't know trump's plan. we do know he thinks he can end the conflict in 24 hours. we do know that many of his top national security picks are not a fan of the endless assistance that nato currently thinks it wants to provide ukraine, so change is most likely coming, and they've spent much of the week talking to officials in european capitals about what that may indeed mean for the western alliance behind ukraine going forwards. but we're going to see now these attacking longer range missiles part of the bid to give ukraine a better hand ahead of any talks that may indeed come next year. but the battlefield changing so fast at this point in russia's favor we are looking for some very stark months ahead. nick
1:07 am
paton walsh cnn, london well, ukraine is reporting widespread aerial attack in months targeted the country's energy infrastructure. the strikes across ukraine also killed at least five people and triggered blackouts. a spokesperson for the un secretary general says he strongly condemns these strikes which will only increase the suffering of ukrainians. ukrainian ukrainians heading into the winter months and more russian missile attacks were reported sunday night including a strike in the northeast northeastern ukrainian city of sumy that killed 11 people, including two children. >> officials say 68 others were injured in an explosion after the missile hit a residential area. six apartment buildings were damaged. a separate strike hit the city's energy infrastructure and cut off power supplies. nadia joins us now. we'll talk in a moment about this permission the ukrainians have got. but it does come off the back of a particularly intense period of attacks from russia. >> absolutely. we've seen russia unleashing one of the most intense attacks on
1:08 am
ukrainian territory that we've really seen in months as you mentioned, just overnight, seeing those attacks on sumy killing at least 11 people, 68 others injured. but we've also seen russia now targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure once again across multiple cities, from odessa to dnipro. and of course, energy infrastructure in sumy as well. we've seen blackouts now taking place as a result. and this has really ramped up the rhetoric from ukrainian officials, including the president, volodymyr zelenskyy, calling for further support particularly on the military front from the united states when it comes to trying to prevent these attacks from russia particularly when it's targeting energy infrastructure over the winter months. and we are still seeing civilians being killed as a result um, with regard to these long range weapons that were agreed to overnight, we've yet to hear from moscow, from putin any sort of response yet. but we know that just a couple of weeks ago, putin had said that if these long range weapons were used to hit russia, that would amount to a serious
1:09 am
escalation from nato allies so and that's really kept president biden from crossing that red line previously. do we expect any escalation to come from this? what is the state of play now? >> well, that is certainly a concern for many u.s. officials. and that's why this has been such a point of debate within the biden administration, fears that this could lead to an escalation, and also questions around the stockpile supply as well. the effect that this can really have in terms of actually having enough supply for ukraine to make a tangible and significant change on the battlefield. now, we know that president zelenskyy met with the u.s. president, joe biden at the white house in september sources say, and officials familiar with the talks say that they discussed the potential targets that the ukrainian armed forces could potentially hit with these missiles and why this would be such a game changer for the ukrainian armed forces in terms of gaining momentum in the war. but at that time, we had also heard warnings from, as you mentioned president putin directly towards nato. i'll just read you a bit of what he
1:10 am
had to say in september, that this will mean that nato countries, the u.s. and european countries are at war with russia. and if this is the case then bearing in mind the change in the essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us. and he has warned that if indeed there is support in supplying these weapons from a nuclear power such as the united states and that would be essentially an opening for russia to take further action, potentially nuclear action. so a point of concern that we haven't yet heard from the kremlin. we are expecting a press briefing today from the kremlin. certainly. perhaps this will be a key focus for the members of the press joining that that call. but again, this could be an escalation. but this is something that president zelenskyy has been pushing for for months now. clearly, the biden administration is assessing that this is now the right time in the war to do so. >> all right, andy beshear, thank you. now, exiled russian opposition leaders, including yulia navalnaya, the widow of russian opposition leader
1:11 am
alexei navalny, rallied in berlin on sunday. they're calling for an end to the war in ukraine. >> year after year thousands took part in the march to show that there are many russians who disagree with the war but can't voice their opinions because of repression in their native land. >> the protest ended at the russian embassy, with protesters holding up signs reading putin is a killer and no peace under russian occupation. >> tomorrow marks a thousand days since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. >> ukrainians are honoring those who've been lost and contemplating an uncertain future as the war quickly approaches. the three year mark. for more we're joined now by ukrainian parliament member alexei goncharenko. live from odesa, ukraine. thank you so much for joining us. um, let's talk first about these long range missiles something ukraine has been requesting and waiting for, for a very long time. in your view is this going to be a game changer for
1:12 am
ukraine? what impact do you expect these missiles to have on the battlefield yeah, yeah definitely. >> we welcome this decision it's a big pity that it took 1000 days, almost 1000 days to make this decision. >> but better late than never. but in order not to be too late and too little, too late. probably, yes, but too little. it's also should include the number of these missiles. because if it will be ten, 20, 100 missiles, that will unfortunately not change a lot. if we want to have a game changer to make a real difference, it should be hundreds of these missiles delivered. >> and i hope that biden's administration will do this now, not waiting for january and i and i ask them to do this now together with this permission that can be really important. also, we hear that maybe this permission will be
1:13 am
only for kursk region where north korean troops are now. i think it's not right because it's again ukraine inside some very strict red lines, because we need a wider permission. because if russia will know that only in one region they are threatened, that not that will not be a big problem for them. >> will president zelenskyy stick to those red lines in the past he has been aware of them and he's crossed them and he's got away with it could he use these long range missiles to fire outside that region? you just specified never, ever ukraine crossed the restrictions which were given by our allies. well, i'm talking about kursk for example. they they said they wouldn't be going into russian territory which is something that, you know, allies have said. and they did. >> we never said that we will not go inside russian territory. it's our right according to international law to attack the aggressor. i
1:14 am
understand that, but you're saying, okay, red lines set by america. that was a red line that was set by america. i'm just giving examples. >> no that was a red line. not to use american missiles. and weaponry there. but ukraine attacked this territory with what we have. so it's not a red line. again, we always follow what we promised to our allies, and that will be the same here. >> but on this subject of kursk, we know that there are some 50,000 north korean and russian soldiers gathered in that region right now do you expect with the supply of these long range missiles, that you will be able to force those troops back and to with retain hold of of that cursed region with this added weaponry? now it can be i hope it will help us. it's definitely we stole a lot of speaking about some escalations and red lines. look, all this axis of course iran, north korea, china standing behind them, they don't have any red lines.
1:15 am
north koreans already are attacking europeans in europe. >> there's a huge escalation. this is the third world war. what should the map? where is north korea? where is ukraine and russian border? and they are there. and i think this is a big story. but if it will be only possibility to attack them in kursk region, putin will move them to belgorod region, to other neighbor regions so it will be just a cat and mouse game. it's not how it should be. and the second thing, when russian allies are sending to russia not only our weaponry now, but also troops, it's the time to raise the issue when our allies will send troops to ukraine. >> maybe not to a front line to fight, but to help us, for example, to protect ukrainian belarusian border, to help us train ukrainian soldiers. but inside ukraine, to make it quicker i think the time came you mentioned world war three. >> um, i think the wider view is that it only becomes world war three if nato troops get
1:16 am
directly involved in the conflict. that isn't happening just yet. but you know, obviously social media is blowing up with world war iii as a hashtag there is a huge amount of concern that american weapons being fired into russia will trigger a world war iii. what would you say to reassure people one question north koreans attacking ukraine, isn't it world war three iranian drones killing ukrainian people isn't it a world war iii? >> so what is a world war iii? well we should give a definition. it's definitely the war in which more than two nations are involved already, and we are using western weaponry for almost three years already. so all these red lines are absolutely artificial. world war iii is happening. the only one question is, will it be a full scale world war like it was world war two? or we can stop it in the beginning by
1:17 am
stopping russia in ukraine. because if russia will be in any way successful in ukraine, not just russia we should say now russia, iran, north korea at least, maybe china also, they will move forward. they will move to taiwan, to georgia, kazakhstan baltic states and so on. that's the only question that we have it is the case, or it's likely to be the case, that when the new united states administration, donald trump, moves into office in two months time, there will be a reversal of supply for instance, for these long range missiles and perhaps other weaponry, as well. >> your president has said that the war, the war will end sooner with donald trump in office what is your expectation for the peace proposal that may come your way and what is ukraine willing to accept first of all, i would like to say one minute about what should be done before inauguration of donald trump. >> what president biden can do now, not just about weapons. it's about sanctions. because
1:18 am
all a lot of sanctions were not full and now it's time to put financial restrictions on russia, on oil and gas payments before biden administration was concerned about price on oil. now it's time to to to to impose these sanctions against russia. >> now also, it's time for president biden to put all the decisions on sanctions on the basis of another legislation in the united states, which will need the permission of congress to backpedal it. if donald trump will decide this. but at least it will be also needed permission of congress and president biden still has two months to do such steps, and i hope they will do this and many others. speaking about donald trump and his coming and what is his plan? >> we don't know. we are ready to listen. we are eager to listen. no one in the world wants this war to end more than ukrainians, because every day we are dying, every day we are suffering. so we want this war
1:19 am
to end. and if donald trump will help us to do this in a fair way, we would be the happiest people in the world. and there will be monuments to donald trump in our country. >> so but but we don't know what exactly donald trump wants to do. so we are looking forward. we are waiting for. we have a lot of hopes, but also we have a lot of concerns aleksey goncharenko in odessa, ukraine thank you so much for spending your time with us today. thank you. >> world leaders in rio de janeiro for a meeting of the g20 group of nations. with uncertainty looming in the face of a new us administration. >> plus, sharing a mile high meal that begs the question of whether robert f. kennedy jr. is serious about making america healthy again. we've got the candid shots and beyonce is working on a hometown holiday treat for her fans. >> how members of the beehive can spend part of their christmas with the superstar ahead on cnn cool

g20 summit. it's a state plan to address issues from poverty and hunger to reforming global institutions as well as climate change. >> this is us president joe biden's final appearance at the meeting, and there's speculation about how the trump administration will handle international issues. for more, we go live now to mark stuart joining us in beijing. and mark obviously looking at china, no doubt they're viewing this as a bit of an opportunity with any sort of looming volatility around the trump administration to make inroads um, elsewhere uh, i mean, what are they looking to get out of this summit? do you think this is a prime opportunity for china to really tell the rest of the world that despite all of the political uncertainty in the united states and how this new administration will will emerge, china is going to be a go to source for stability.
1:26 am
>> the g20 obviously has a very full agenda, but it's going to be these sideline meetings, these one on one meetings between chinese diplomats and their counterparts from around the world to really spread this messaging and to draw on this other thing that we've talked about a lot to really draw this wedge between the united states and its allies, we heard from one analyst from a think tank who suggested this is a time for china to really show its commitment to peace and development. and we've already seen it. it was just last week that a massive port, a mega port, was unveiled in peru. because of the chinese government obviously, it's the world's second largest economy and it wants to show its reach. both politically and economically so max and cristina, as we look ahead to rio, expect very strong messaging from china that it is
1:27 am
going to be the source of stability in a very uncertain world the big sort of headline moment was actually on the sidelines, wasn't it? >> biden and chinese counterpart xi meeting at the previous meeting. what are you expecting here chance for xi jinping, not only to continue his discussions with president biden to say that china is very much focused on stability and communication, perhaps to send a message to the incoming trump white house. >> that's what it wants to focus on. but he'll also have a chance to meet with other world leaders, such as the british prime minister, such as his counterparts from india uh, australia, as well as japan. it will be a who's who of world leadership. so i'm going to look not only to see if there's any further interaction between he and joe biden, but also those world leaders who are also expected to attend.

>> welcome back to cnn newsroom. here are some of the top stories we're following today. police in new orleans are investigating two different shootings, which left two people dead and ten others injured. they happened during a sunday parade about 45 minutes apart from each other. no arrests have been made. us health officials are investigating an e coli outbreak linked to organic carrots. dozens of cases have been reported across 18 states since september. one person has died. the carrots were sold at stores including sprouts trader joe's, whole foods and target. they have been recalled and officials in asheville, north carolina say a boil water advisory could be lifted this week. residents there have been living under the advisory since tropical storm helene struck in late september. it caused

devastating floods to the area and massive damage to the state's water system continues to name the people he wants in top positions for his second term in the office. our current federal communications commissioner brendan carr, is his choice to become the agency's new chairman trump called him a warrior for free speech. the agency's job is to regulate communications and car selection comes amid calls from trump to revoke licenses of major television networks. but many of trump's selections still have much of washington talking especially the choice of former house republican matt gaetz for attorney general. cnn's steve contorno has the latest week as president elect with questions still remaining about some of the early picks for his incoming administration especially around matt gaetz. >> his choice for attorney
1:34 am
general. there are questions as to whether or not senators will get to see the results of an ethics investigation into alleged sexual misconduct. speaker mike johnson on state of the union on sunday discussing his views on whether or not senators should be able to see that report. >> president and i have literally not discussed one word about the ethics report not once. and i've been with him quite a bit this week between washington and mar-a-lago and last night in madison square garden, even as republicans on the hill speak out against matt gaetz and raise concerns over whether he can get the 51 votes needed for confirmation there are already signs that some republicans are moving toward yes senator markwayne mullin, for example of oklahoma. he has previously voiced his displeasure with gaetz at one point, he said gaetz showed him videos on the house floor of, quote the girls he had slept with. but now he says gaetz should have a fair shot. >> i've got a tough situation that i've got to set my
1:35 am
personal opinions and they're really not opinions. i got to i got to set my personal situation with matt to the side and look at the facts. if he's qualified he's qualified. >> after spending some time in new york this weekend where he watched a ufc fight at madison square garden, donald trump will remain in palm beach at his mar-a-lago estate as he continues to fill out his cabinet. he still has to choose a treasury secretary, as well as secretaries for commerce, labor housing and urban development transportation and education. steve contorno cnn west palm beach florida. >> well california senator elect adam schiff tells cnn there's a bigger reason behind gaetz' nomination. speaking with jake tapper, he says it's a sign the president elect will tolerate virtually no opposition. >> i think he's not only unqualified, he is really disqualified. are we really going to have an attorney general who there's credible allegations that he was involved in child sex trafficking, potential illicit
1:36 am
drug use, obstruction of investigation. who has no experience serving in the justice department only being investigated by it, but jake, i think the whole point with these nominees, several of them is they're unqualified. is there affirmative disqualification? that's trump's point. because what he wants to do with these nominees is establish that the congress, the united states, will not stand up to him with anything well, house speaker mike johnson tried to give reassurances that the senate would vet each candidate. >> he also doubts that will give much credence to the confidential ethics report on gaetz that has still yet to be released. >> the senate has a role. the advise and consent role under the constitution, and they'll perform it. they'll have a a rigorous review and vetting process in the senate. but they don't need to rely upon a report or a draft report or rough draft report that was prepared by the ethics committee for its very limited purposes another controversial pick is robert f. >> kennedy jr., who trump wants
1:37 am
to lead the department of health and human services. kennedy has been an outspoken critic of trump, even bashing his health habits. here's what he had to say about trump's diet just a week ago. >> the stuff that he eats is is really like bad it's not campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. well, it turns out kennedy isn't above indulging himself. donald trump jr. posted this picture on x on sunday, showing his father, elon musk, and kennedy all sharing a meal from mcdonald's. the caption reads, quote, make america wealthy again starts tomorrow uh, i think it's all right every so often, isn't it? i mean, we know trump. you would never have a mcdonald's, would you? >> i can't imagine you wouldn't have a mcdonald's. no but knowing how often trump apparently indulges himself in
1:38 am
mcdonald's, well, i compensate for you, sir uh, now gaza's health ministry says at least 50 people were killed in israeli strikes in northern gaza on sunday. >> a video of the aftermath shows children panicking with some crying in the background and a toddler covered in blood. a local journalist says dozens of palestinians displaced by israel's operation in nearby jabalya were sheltering in two of the houses that were hit as israeli forces have killed hezbollah spokesperson in a strike on beirut. mohammed afif served as an adviser to the late hezbollah chief hassan nasrallah for years. the militant group issued a statement calling afif a, quote, great media leader. >> the strike on sunday was followed by another deadly attack on the lebanese capital. hours later, the country's health ministry says at least two people were killed and more than a dozen other wounded. we're going to go to paula hancocks. she's following developments for us from abu dhabi and the israeli military,
1:39 am
saying it used artillery batteries inside lebanese territory >> so, max, this is this is something new and really speaks to what we're seeing as this expanded operation that that the israeli military is carrying out in lebanon itself. so the israeli defense force on, on sunday said that they had based artillery batteries inside lebanon. now, previously they had had them along the border. but in israeli territory, firing across the border into southern lebanon. so this is an expansion. this is an increase in in just how much arsenal the israeli military has inside southern lebanon at this point. the idf saying that they're attacking targets in support of the ground forces during their operation. now, just last week, the foreign minister said that they were going to expand these ground operations. we heard at the beginning of of last month when they started this

operation that it was going to be limited. there was plenty of skepticism at the time and certainly we're seeing now that that it has expanded once again. but it's expanding at a time that we're also hearing about this potential ceasefire deal that is on the table at this point between israel and and lebanon and hezbollah. we heard that just last week. it was given to hezbollah. this is a us-israeli ceasefire proposal, a 60 day ceasefire which hopefully, according to those putting it together, would then form the basis of a more permanent ceasefire. now we've heard from a lebanese official familiar with these discussions that they are optimistic the way that hezbollah is looking at this, this ceasefire proposal at this point, certainly hoping that it would be able to be pushed through. but of course, we have also now just heard on sunday that there was, as you
1:41 am
mentioned, that other assassination. this is the media spokesperson mohammed afif, who was killed in a beirut airstrike. he was really one of the most public figures at this point within hezbollah. he was giving press conferences in the ruins of the buildings for example, many other operatives and leaders have gone underground fearing that they will be a target. we don't know whether this will derail any talks that are ongoing at this point we know that last month, when the ceasefire proposal talks were ongoing they were derailed by the assassination of hassan nasrallah, the the hezbollah chief. so at this point, we are waiting to hear more as to whether or not hezbollah will agree to this. this proposal but certainly we are hearing from lebanese officials that they are optimistic max. christina. >> and as we wait for to hear on that, of course, as we mentioned at the top there, paula, another devastating attack on northern gaza as well in beit lahiya over the weekend. but for now, paula

1:54 am
and rocky paths. and it may even allow users to climb stairs. all this without complex machinery or fancy sensors traditional wheels are designed to retain a rigid circular shape for stability on flat surfaces, which limits their ability to overcome obstacles. >> however, our wheel maintains its round form on flat ground and softens only when navigating obstacles. >> the wheels can reach speeds of 30km or 18mph. the innovation behind these wheels is simple yet groundbreaking. the wheel's flexibility is inspired by the surface tensions found in liquid droplets, says the researcher when the force that pulls the outermost molecules of a liquid droplet inward increases the droplet can maintain a stable circular shape. >> similarly, our wheel is designed with a smart chain block on the outer edge. the greater the inward pull on this block the more stably it
1:55 am
maintains a round shape. >> the wheel turns firm for stability when the wire spokes pull the block inward. when it's loosened, it softens, allowing the wheel to adapt to uneven surfaces. researchers see big potential for the wheel from personal mobility to robots. >> if this modularized wheel can be attached to any mobile platform, simply by replacing existing wheels once installed, the wheel provides variable stiffness, adapting to each application. >> kristie lu stout, cnn hong kong. >> what an incredible. >> so cool. yeah. and way overdue, i think. >> and no punches. i noticed that. >> no punches. >> no. because it's not. it's not. >> no downsides. you mean. >> no. there's no punches. oh, i see what you mean. >> right. >> i thought you meant, like, you know, there's no there's no catch anyway, it'll be very useful for us in our dotage. >> the. oh, the spanish scrabble world championship has
