5:02 am
this morning, millions of americans rushing to stores. >> and if you're like me, checking your shopping apps, hoping to score the best black friday deals, more than 183 million people are expected to shop in person or online this weekend. and the national retail federation says that would be a new record. and two thirds of black friday shoppers say they're going to brick and mortar stores today with concerns about inflation and high prices. many are saying they plan to shop because the deals are really just too good to pass up. cnn's mina dursun joins us now. mina, you are at a mall in new jersey i can see a line behind you. just give me a lay of the land what are you seeing right now yeah. >> so i'm here at the mall. you know, someone said to me this morning the days of people lining up at the mall might be over, but there are still malls doing these in-person promotions. we're here at the american dream mall, and they're doing this, i guess what you could call a doorbuster. they have this wheel of prizes where people
5:03 am
are spinning. people have lined up, you know, for the past hour to win things like tvs, um, gift cards for major retailers. so people are very excited here. uh, as you can see they're, you know, trying to get hundreds of dollars of potentially in prizes. and they've been waiting, you know, for hours, upwards of an hour to, for their chance to win so people are definitely still there, still the enthusiasm there even though a lot of people are definitely doing their shopping from home in their pajamas. so we're going to wait and see. >> it's still spinning. >> everyone's a winner. so that's that's the appeal it's still spinning yes. >> i was going to say mina at some point, because we're going to keep coming back to you. what's what's it going to land on there? what did it land on? yes yes. uh she won a ticket to the to the mall attraction. >> it's a um don't we all want to take it? >> no, i mean, a lot of these people. that's yeah. >> no, it's one of those things that's like a couple hundred dollars in value it's a big deal. so that's. that's one of those items that people were really excited about here. um,
5:04 am
so yeah, some of these shoppers told us they had been waiting here. you know, other people hit the doorbusters at kohl's at 5 a.m.. some of these people who were here, a lot of enthusiasm among younger shoppers is what we're hearing about black friday, that, you know, the 18 to 24 demo is the people who are still really the most excited and probably the most enthusiastic about shopping this weekend. so that's what we're seeing. >> and we're going to keep coming to you over the morning, and we may have to get you to do a guest role but we'll talk about that a little bit later, but also look on a wider scale. there are some serious concerns that people have with their wallet as well. i mean, president-elect donald trump has said he's going to increase tariffs on foreign goods. obviously, for some that translates to prices may go up. i mean, is that influencing any shopping habits? i can't imagine people are talking tariffs as they're spinning the wheel. but maybe i'm wrong gucci gucci. >> well i think it might be a little too early to tell. as far as how it's influencing user behavior. but what we have heard from experts is that if you are in the market for some of these bigger ticket items that might be impacted by
5:05 am
tariffs, things you know that are manufactured overseas china, mexico canada, it might be the opportunity to look for those deals. things like, you know, washer dryers, big household appliances, tablets smartphones. if you are already looking at that kind of stuff, maybe you should look for those deals right now before those prices could go up. you know, upwards of 20% after those tariffs could take effect. so that's that's what we're hearing. >> all right, mina thank you so much. don't let me down on that. we'll turn you keep an eye on your camera. >> thanks so much erica we are expecting big things this morning. >> millions getting ready to maybe head home after visiting with family and friends for thanksgiving. good news. some of that wet weather that really impacted a number of thanksgivings that is starting to move out. what is staying behind though? a lot of cold temperatures for many people across the country. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking the very latest for us. and it's going to be cold in a lot of places for a while. >> yeah, just in time to bring
5:06 am
out all those ugly christmas and ugly hanukkah sweaters that you have perfect timing for this. yes, because this is really going to impact quite a significant portion of the population. so in terms of travel the sky is not necessarily going to be as big of an issue this weekend as road travel, especially across portions of the midwest and the northeast, where lake effect snow is really expected to tick up today and through the weekend. you can already see some of those bands beginning to form right now as the wind really pushes that cold air over across those very warm great lakes, at least warm in comparison to the air temperature but you can start to see the snow bands beginning they're going to continue to increase and as we go through the weekend, you can see a lot of these alerts already set in place. the winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories and even some lake effect snow warnings as well. some of these locations are expected to pick up significant amounts. the national weather service office in buffalo reporting that some of these areas could see paralyzing amounts of snow. we are talking 3 to 5ft of snow expected to fall over the next several days
5:07 am
for areas around watertown and areas south of buffalo. as we head through the weekend. and that cold air has already come out in portions of the northern tier of the country. take a look at this. when you take that temperature of zero degrees in fargo mixing the wind, that feels like temperature is minus 15 right now, it feels like minus three in minneapolis and minus eight in sioux falls. that cold air is going to continue to spread south and east over the next several days. really reaching a pretty significant area. in fact, almost 70% of the u.s. population is going to see temperatures at or below freezing in the next several days. that reaches even all the way as far south as the gulf coast. some of these counties here, even in florida looking at those freeze alerts in effect. here's the other thing, too. it's going to be multiple days. this isn't just a one. and done for these cold temperatures. so you see chicago the normal high right around 29 to 30 degrees. the temperatures are going to be half that through the weekend. but even on monday as they warm up, they're only going to get
5:08 am
to 18. atlanta, saint louis washington, d.c. all looking at those incredibly cold temperatures. and for chicago, look at this. they are going to spend every single one of the next seven days below average, both for the high and the low temperature. >> wow. yeah get out those sweaters and a hat and your mittens and a scarf and a down coat and all the things allison. appreciate it. thank you. >> all of them. >> thanks. still to come here? the thanksgiving day bomb threats the fbi now investigating new threats. targeting some democratic lawmakers as they were home celebrating the holiday with their families. plus, planning to buy a car. what? the promise is from president-elect donald trump on his tariffs could mean, in terms of sticker shock and a miraculous story of survival. a hiker missing for more than five weeks found in the freezing snow covered canadian wilderness cnn heroes, an all star tribute. >> meet and celebrate the honorees, then find out who will be hero of the year. plus,

5:14 am
cabinet appointees were were targeted in a similar way. still more investigating to do all around. but i wonder how you assess sort of this dynamic well, you're right, we don't know yet why these threats were made who made them? >> however, this is an unfortunate reminder of even though that the the presidential campaign and the election is over, the toxic environment that really defined it still remains. and we know that threats over the last couple of years have ticked up against members of congress, the united states capitol police released a report in january of this year detailing how many threats that they had to investigate over over the course of the last couple years, and it really it's a reminder that these and they attributed that to political rhetoric and the heated political rhetoric that has come to define our politics. you know over the past decade or so. >> and, you know, one of the
5:15 am
outside of this of course, i mean, one of the main focuses has been on president elect trump's cabinet picks, which, again, we know were targeted as part of this as well but a lot of what we've been keeping an eye on is sort of this revolving door out of mar-a-lago to see who is coming to meet with the president elect and whether that translates to something more. we've seen a lot of that in the tech world. i mean, elon musk, i think is maybe the most prominent example. we saw him. i mean, during thanksgiving, he was seen at mar-a-lago with trump and some of his family members, but also meta ceo mark zuckerberg has been down there at points. there's elon musk dancing to ymca with the president elect there. i mean, overall, what do you make of their relationship? but also when you think of the mark zuckerberg of it all, what do you make of tech leaders and how they're approaching this incoming administration well elon musk seems to be he's he's in one category, right. >> he very much backed the president elect during the during the election. he's
5:16 am
become a fixture at mar-a-lago like an auxiliary family member or something. and he's been helping that. we know from reporting. he's been helping vet some of his these cabinet nominees and is not in the cabinet, but is part of a new organization himself trying to reduce government waste. that said, then you look at the people like mark zuckerberg, who has been a target of president elect trump's rhetoric over, you know the years he's been very critical of facebook and meta and some of the restrictions that were put on him after the january 6th. now, it really seems like it be it jeff bezos or mark zuckerberg, they're really trying to make nice with president elect trump. they've really extended out a hand. and that's why you see these meetings continue. we'll see if these you never know if these relationships are going to hold with the president elect. but it seems like they're really trying to forge a new era with him, perhaps because they're
5:17 am
afraid of what he might do rhetorically and, you know, potentially with regulations going into his next term. >> and to add to one of your points, trump previously called for zuckerberg to be jailed for, quote, plotting against him during the 2020 election. so that was sort of the rhetoric that was going around at the time. i want to ask you about one other thing, because you know, we also were keeping an eye on international relations here, especially between the united states and mexico including with trump's threats of tariffs. he and the mexican president, claudio shen yun, just had a phone conversation where he posted that she agreed to stop migration into the united states and close our southern border. she then denied that happened in her own statement about the conversation, saying her country's position is not to close borders that part of the call seemed a little contentious, but overall, both sides seem to report a pleasant call. bottom line are you optimistic about the relationship based on where it appears to be starting i mean, so initially after the
5:18 am
president elect made his threats of tariffs you had president sheinbaum of mexico really react angrily to that. >> now it seems like the two of them have spoken as you note, they had positive, contradictory but positive reports coming out of this. they have incentive to work together but you never know with with the president elect how things are going to go down the line. but certainly now that there's open communication between the two, you know optimism about i guess we will see, you know, you never doubt at the very beginning. >> but you know at least they reported it was it was pleasant even if it was a little contradictory. jackie kucinich, thank you so much. really appreciate it. >> certainly. >> all right. if you don't have a regular sleep schedule i don't know who that would be. they might be in the room with us. it might be time to make it a priority because coming up, new research on how irregular sleep can damage your health. uh-oh. all right. australia just passed the first law in

5:23 am
we weren't. it's nice to know you're free to focus on what matters with reliable medicare coverage from unitedhealthcare. >> cnn health central, brought to you by unitedhealthcare, medicare plans. reliable coverage for your whole life ahead we all know sleep is good for your health but a new study shows that if you don't have a regular sleep schedule, you could be at greater risk of a heart attack and stroke. >> all right, let's bring in cnn health reporter jacqueline howard. so jacqueline, tell me, tell me about this study. knowing full well that you and i have probably both been up since at least 4 a.m., or maybe earlier exactly. >> i know it's really interesting data though. here, omar. it's a good reminder for all of us to keep a consistent schedule because what researchers found is people who had an irregular sleep schedule were 26% more likely to have a
5:24 am
major cardiovascular event like a heart attack, like heart failure, like a stroke. and how researchers came to this finding is they looked at data on more than 72,000 adults in the uk. they tracked their health and their sleep for eight years, and they found that those people who did not have a consistent bedtime schedule, they didn't wake up around the same time each day. they saw this 26% increased risk. and this is despite differences in people's age lifestyle factors like exercise smoking or drinking alcohol so it really is a major, major finding when we think about sleep and our health, omar all right. >> let's just say you don't have a consistent sleep schedule. i mean, what if you're still getting the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night? does that offset those risks? please well, that was really interesting because it did not seem to be sufficient to offset the risks. >> and i was shocked by that because even though as
5:25 am
journalists, we both have very irregular schedules, i still try to get that 7 to 9 hours, and it didn't seem to offset risk. the reason why is because that consistency is key for supporting our natural circadian rhythm, and that's why researchers say, try to go to sleep within the same 30 to 60 minute window each night, try to wake up within that same 30 to 60 minute window each morning and some other helpful tips is to keep your bedroom at a cool temperature. keep your bedroom quiet, avoid devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime and before you go to sleep. avoid large meals. avoid caffeine and avoid alcohol. so these are good tips to follow just to again to improve your sleep. >> all right jacqueline i'm going to use this report as evidence for the next time i take off saying, hey, jacqueline told me i need to watch out for my natural circadian rhythm so i'm not going to be able to make it in tomorrow jacqueline howard, appreciate it. >> exactly. i'm going to try to do the same. >> yeah, exactly.
5:26 am
>> erica. >> yeah, i'm going to follow your lead too. so let me know the playbook. well, australia is now the first country in the world to pass a law prohibiting anyone under the age of 16 from creating a social media account. this follows months of debate and a process that saw the bill introduced, debated and passed in just a single week. there's no date right now for when the ban would take effect. joining me to discuss is jonathan haidt. he's a social psychologist and the author of the book the anxious generation. in the book, he shows how social media has impacted a generation of kids who had access to those accounts at younger and younger ages. jonathan, it's great to have you with us. so according to this new law, the onus is on the tech companies here. they have to take, in the words of the law, reasonable steps to prevent underage users from creating these accounts, from accessing social media. the headline is great australia says it wants to be a model for the rest of the world practically speaking, though, do you see this being enforced oh yes, i do. >> um first of all, we have to do this. countries have to do
5:27 am
this in the real world. if the law said, hey, the drinking age is 18, but, you know, it's up to you parents to keep your kids out of bars. the companies that are making money off your kids, they have no responsibility to enforce the age limit. that's what we have on the internet. and as a result, eight, nine, ten year old children are all over the internet they're seeing. they're seeing horrible things. um, so yes, it has to be done and it can be done. scott galloway here at nyu. he says that the industry could easily do it, but they really don't want to. he says when you pay an industry not to understand something, it will never figure it out. and there are already more than a dozen methods of age verification. so the technology is there. it will get better. it's going to get done. >> do you have any concerns that some of those in opposition in australia, and we heard too, from some of the tech companies, specifically meta who will be required to enforce this age restriction? they say this was rushed. do you see this as a rushed process um, i don't know about the specific australian
5:28 am
process, but we've been talking about this for years. >> it's really clear that this needs to be done. what's most striking to me in talking about my book, the anxious generation wherever i go, parents journalists, politicians, everyone says, yeah, we see it. we see it in our own kids. so i think that the time, the time has come it's good legislation. it's very necessary. and australia is going to be a beacon to the world for people who have not yet read your book or may not be familiar with you part of what you're saying is that these apps have literally started to rewire our brains. >> how does that happen? how are they able to do that yeah so we're mammals and mammals need to play a lot and learn to live in the three dimensional world but what happens when kids get a smart device, a touch screen it gives them very quick feedback. >> it hooks them and it knocks out most physical play. it knocks out hobbies, reading books, looking at people in the eye. it changes development,
5:29 am
social development sexual development. it changes development in almost every way. and what has happened is a gigantic epidemic of anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide. and it all begins in the early 20 tens, just as our kids get their first smart devices they start spending five hours a day on social media, ten hours a day on their phones. this has to interrupt childhood and it does. >> so we know, and i know you've discussed this as well. it's not just about the phone sort of gets the bad rap for everything, but your kid could have an ipad and you could say, oh, my kid doesn't have a phone, and they can still access a lot of this. what's been really striking to me is the parent of two, two old teenagers is what we have seen, which seems like a pretty swift shift over the last couple of years in a number of states to ban cell phones in schools as a first step to take them away. and then the studies that have come out of that, that it's not just the social media, it's the texting, everything else about how much better kids feel about themselves when they don't have that phone around all day long. >> yeah exactly when i was in
5:30 am
school in the 1970s and 80s imagine if they had said, you can bring your television set into class and you can watch it during class. you can bring in your radio, your walkie, everything, bring it all in and that's what we've done with smartphones and kids are literally sitting in class especially in the back row of every classroom sending texts, watching playing video games and it's no coincidence that academic achievement around the country and around the world have began to decline after 2012. it wasn't because of covid it began as soon as the kids got smart devices in school. guess what? they stopped paying attention to the teacher and each other. they started to feel more lonely at school. since 2012, every school that goes phone free says the same thing. we hear laughter in the hallways again every school that bans phones loves it. >> let me ask you about the role of adults here. right? and i don't mean just the role of the parent, right. but adults, as we are modeling this behavior because i feel like it's probably rewired my brain, too. i mean, i sit there
5:31 am
doomscrolling on instagram and then i have a moment where i say to myself, what am i doing? there's not even anything for me to look at. it was the same as it was three minutes ago, so shouldn't some of this also maybe apply to us well, you know, i and lawmakers are reluctant to tell adults what to do as adults. >> we all feel overwhelmed by this. but we all went through puberty in the in the old world where we could pay attention to each other. we could look people in the eye the key to keep your eye on is puberty. if we let young humans go through puberty, which is a massive rewiring of the brain, if you let that process happen, guided by feedback on tiktok and instagram, you're going to get bad results. what i see in students all over the place, what i see in my own students is it's very difficult for them to pay attention. it's hard for them to sit through a 75 minute class. i've been teaching for 40 years. it didn't used to be like that ten years ago, 15 years ago. >> yeah. it is important to see jonathan haidt. really appreciate you joining us this morning thank you thank you erica. just ahead here, a

5:37 am
book. good to see you. um so, you know, one aspect i think is really interesting is the u.s. government tracks what percentage of each car's parts is made domestically, and none really exceeds 75%, even for a broad definition like american made, which, you know can also include canadian made parts, i just wonder how you view the plan to potentially impose a 25% tariff on all goods coming from mexico, and canada well, it's likely that the trump administration will keep the existing tariffs in place. >> remember the biden administration just increased tariffs on electric vehicles and some other related type things in may of this year. they'll likely keep those. the problem is, is that when you said, as you stated correctly, when you start getting into the nitty gritty of the pieces and the parts, like we don't have any fully chinese electric vehicles here in the u.s., right now, but certainly many of the parts come from those countries so that's going to be the difficulty politicians
5:38 am
often say one thing, but when you get into the nitty gritty of how that's going to work out, it may look quite different than what we hear right now. >> and let's throw china into the mix. because trump also promised to increase tariffs on china an additional 10% beyond the existing measures. and as you mentioned, we don't import a lot of cars from china, but it's a major source of, you know low price auto parts. how do you see that trading relationship right differently than the ones with mexico and canada outside of the formal usmca? of course right. >> of course, canada and mexico are top trading partners with us and so we want to be careful when we're imposing tariffs on those countries. the goal is to limit the ability of china to get cars into or get products into the u.s. through those channels. the 10% tariff doesn't really have much to do with cars. it's a way of the government saying, hey, we want you to have a better handle on on fentanyl and those types of things. it is possible that
5:39 am
through some of these actions that the short term result will be an increase in car prices, at least new car prices for american consumers. although there's already downward pressure on new car prices because they remain high and there's a huge gap between new car prices and used car prices. so there's these two competing forces that will have to be worked out for this to be to the benefit of american consumers in the long term and in the short term and, you know, one of the things, as you mentioned in the short term concerns about a price increase, there is an argument that all this tariff talk is just the beginning of a negotiation and posturing to sort of get a better deal out of our trading partners. >> i mean, i guess the broader question is, is the nature of our trading relationship with these countries built to withstand significant change like this or sudden change when a new administration comes in right. >> i think that what's happening and this is very similar to the voluntary export
5:40 am
restriction that the reagan administration did in the 70s, where there was a rapid change. there's a rapid change in the marketplace. they don't want to eliminate it completely. they want to manage it to a degree where it's easy for american companies to catch up. so, like you said, could there be a short term harm? yes there could, but the long term goal, it's kind of like electric cars in general, right? they're expensive to begin with. but many people agree that the long term result is going to be beneficial. in this case, you're right. it probably is a negotiating tactic because that's kind of what people do in politicians. and political, you know, endeavors they lead with something. and then the reality on the back end is a little bit less, um, harsh maybe even more diplomatic mhm. >> well, speaking of those diplomatic efforts, the mexican, the mexican president has suggested mexico would retaliate with counter-tariffs. so i guess from a trade standpoint, how do counter-tariffs change the dynamics of trade and of
5:41 am
course, what effect could that have on, you know, prices for folks who might be thinking of buying a car next year yeah, it could have a short term impact on prices, meaning that cars could be more expensive. >> um but counter-tariffs and tariffs of 100%, that kind of thing that's not likely going to be good for consumers. other than it's going to protect american jobs. if you look at the reagan administration example, what happened as a result was a lot of japanese automakers brought the production inside this country. and we see that now honda, toyota nissan, many others making their cars inside this country the same is likely true with some other countries that produce electric vehicles. they may want to produce them inside this country to eliminate the tariff. that would be the good that would come from it. it would be jobs and it would increase the tax base in all those local communities, such as where hyundai and kia are building cars that would be the long term positive result.
5:42 am
>> mhm. and more broadly here i kind of alluded to it. if you are obviously this is all happening at a policy level. it's all happening very high level. but it all of course affects people on the other side of the spectrum. when you're thinking about buying. and so if you are talking to someone about buying or selling a car next year, are you telling them to keep a watchful eye on these talks? i mean, how soon would a ripple effect actually hit what people see at dealerships well because we're talking about producing things in real time, it would have a delayed effect. >> so. right now there's high incentives on new cars, meaning that it's between 7 and 10% depending on the segment, that you can get that much of an incentive from the automaker. so right now is a good time to buy does it make sense to wait? it depends on your budget, but these types of things generally take a while before they start to impact the american consumer. so i would keep an eye on it, but i wouldn't be overly worried that tomorrow
5:43 am
all of a sudden something catastrophic is going to happen. >> yeah, something to keep an eye on indeed. brian moody, thanks for being here with autotrader and kelley blue book. thanks. yep when missouri banned transgender care for minors, one family left a state to find a place for their 12 year old transgender daughter. >> president-elect trump's promise to roll back transgender rights has these parents now wondering whether their child will be able to get the health care she needs? here's cnn's gabe cohen so what am i looking at here? >> my pride flag this shows to the world that i don't want to hide and pretend to be someone else. i want to be me. >> our child should have the same rights as any other child because she's transgender doesn't make her any different. >> 12 year old katie and her family moved across the country last year to flee state restrictions on their daughter's rights, at her parent's request. we're not showing her face and we're using an alternate name.
5:44 am
>> i don't have the answer of why people hate her and have never met her. where is katie allowed to exist? how is she allowed to exist? >> is she allowed to exist? >> we won't be changing your children's gender with their trans gender craziness. >> transgender rights have become one of the biggest flashpoints in this country's culture. wars marked in many cases by flat out lies and conspiracies. >> there are some places your boy leaves the school comes back a girl. >> kamala supports taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners. >> republicans spent more than $200 million on anti-trans ads before the election. >> kamala is for they them. president trump is for you. >> this is 100% bs >> it's sowing fear. and then by doing that, you're sowing hate. and all of this comes back to people like our child. we thought that by leaving missouri and coming to maryland that we would be safe and now
5:45 am
we're being threatened with anti-trans legislation on a federal level. >> at least 26 states, including missouri, have passed restrictions on gender affirming care for minors this was their final protest in jefferson city. >> we did everything we could to fight this and there was nothing that we could do to change their minds we moved to maryland to be able to access gender affirming care for katie. what that looks like is therapy services. it's clothing. it's haircuts and at this age, it is a hormone blocker to prevent her from going through puberty. >> this is my hormone blocker right here. >> could that treatment be reversed at some point? >> yes, absolutely. it's really a pause button. katie gets more time to live in the body that she has now on day one, i will revoke joe biden's cruel policies on so-called
5:46 am
gender affirming care. >> trump has promised federal restrictions on transgender rights, including far stricter rules about gender affirming care especially for minors. trans youth one. trans rights organization, saw a nearly 700% increase in calls to their crisis hotline after the election. what would happen if your daughter didn't get that care? >> she would end up going through puberty and it would be traumatizing to her to see all of those things happen to her body. >> i know you get some treatment from doctors from other care. what would happen if you didn't get that? >> i would be upset and scared in the lgbtq community the suicide rate is high for those who are not being supported by their caregivers. >> we want her to survive childhood, so families like
5:47 am
katie's are trying to prepare for what's ahead, even drafting an asylum application. we have to start thinking about a backup plan. >> if push comes to shove, we will need to go north. we will go to canada. >> what would it take for your family to say we need to leave this country? >> the federal health care ban would likely be the moment we know that it's time to leave here what does this symbolize to you? >> freedom and rights. this proves that everybody has their own rights to be themselves and our thanks to gabe cohen for that piece. >> well, this morning we're introducing you to one of this year's top five cnn heroes every year, nearly 1 million shelter animals in the u.s. are euthanized. many are pets whose owners just couldn't find temporary care when they needed it. well, now stephen knight is drawing on his own personal experience to change that. reporter. >> when somebody makes that
5:48 am
decision to go into treatment, it's one of the bravest decisions they'll make. >> see you soon okay. when people do need to go to rehab and they don't have a place to put their dog, what we're finding out is how big of a need it is. we provide free temporary fostering services for people that are ready to change their life dies. >> she hasn't seen me in so long. hey and it becomes their motivator to stay healthy. >> oh. that face. when we find a foster, we will do a temporary foster contract. you're saving that dog's life. and the owner's life. and we're able to prevent a dog going to the shelter. we cannot have the solution be euthanized. dogs. we can't. i want to be the voice of the dog. and to help them. because they don't have that voice head to cnn heroes dot com right now where you can vote for stephen or any of our cnn heroes for the cnn hero of the

cable can't beat. start watching at fubo tv. dot com oh, show me what you're made of i've got to wipe out the tbs original wipe out. >> all new sunday at nine on tbs this morning a first look inside the iconic notre dame cathedral as it prepares to reopen its doors. >> more than five years after being ravaged by a devastating fire. french president emmanuel macron toured the church before it opens to the public on december 7th. the restoration
5:54 am
process was understandably a massive undertaking to the tune of more than $700 million, and along with all that cost came some really remarkable attention to detail restoring even some of the imperfections that were there before the fire. cnn's melissa bell is with us now from paris. so you've been in you've seen these renovations. i am struck by those pictures in terms of how different it looks inside with all the cleaning that also happened that's right. >> it's almost unrecognizable for the amount of light that you now have inside, which allows you to see so much more of this extraordinary structure as you can see behind me, so much of the scaffolding still surrounds notre dame, right because the actual full renovation won't be done until 2030. this was the last visit by the french president of the construction site. he spoke to some of the 2000 men and women who have been involved in that telling them they've been working on the construction site of a lifetime. and he was really quite moved as he thanked them vous avez été you
5:55 am
have been the alchemists of this work site, and you have transformed the blackness into art. >> the flame, the was a national wound and you've been the remedy through determination, commitment and work that blackness that he refers to, you'll remember just over five years ago, erica here on cnn, we watched live as the cathedral went up in flames. >> it had been watched around the world by millions. that night. the flames quickly brought under control. but in terms of the restoration, to give you an idea, those five years, two of them were spent just securing the building and making sure making sure that this extraordinary gothic edifice wouldn't entirely collapse and that is remarkable that that alone took two years. >> so much of this. i can't
5:56 am
wait to go see it. the next time i'm in paris, frankly, to see just how different it is. i know the organ was also a major part of these renovations talk to us about that. were you able to see that in this preview? visit so we were sort of rushed through quite quickly. >> but the first thing that strikes you and you're quite right, i can't urge you enough to come back and have a look inside because you will rediscover it as you've no one has ever really seen it before, not in this lifetime anyway. not just restored to its glory of five years ago, but to many centuries before. because of the light, because of the restoration of the artwork because the stone is now white. you can see inside the paintings the gilt work, the extraordinary detail, the intricate art. it's colorful in a way that it wasn't before. there was this overall impression of something somber and dark and cavernous and and you had a sense of its scale. now you can see it, erica, and it's extraordinary. the org is back. the organ is back. and
5:57 am
one of the first pieces, i understand to be brought back inside the other when you get a chance to come back to paris, is the crown of thrones the crown of thorns you'll remember that is one of those relics that had been rushed rescued out of the cathedral in the night of the fire. it was donated to a french king in the middle ages from constantinople it goes back. it is a relic, of course, of the time, said to be the very crown that jesus had worn during his procession on the day of his crucifixion. that crown, now fully restored and an entirely new piece of of art around it all golden, really exposed in a way that never had been before. again, a symbol of the wider cathedral, which has been really restored to a grandeur that none of us had known before. from the very blackness of the soot and the debris and the devastation of five years ago, an extraordinary monument now. >> yeah, it really is. it is so impressive, melissa. really appreciate it. thank you omar.
5:58 am
>> all right. this week, workers found a man who disappeared weeks ago while camping in canada. and they found him alive. sam benastick was reported missing on october 19th. workers found him tuesday on a service road partially wrapped in a cut up sleeping bag for warmth. and he told police he first stayed in his car a couple of days before moving on and camping. eventually building a shelter in a dry creek bed. wow and meet vito, the charming two and a half year old pug who was taken the dog show world by storm. vito is the first pug in 20 years to win best in show at the 92nd annual national dog show, beating out about 2000 other dogs at the show. in philadelphia, vito added this top title to his impressive record of 25 best in show wins. what a legend and new this morning, health officials in california say another batch of raw milk has tested positive for the bird flu. it reportedly
5:59 am
came from the same farm in fresno, where another lot of raw milk tested positive a few days ago. more testing at that farm is underway. no human bird flu cases linked to the milk have been reported, and this morning thousands of eggs sold at costco are under recall because of salmonella concerns. we're talking about select cartons of kirkland signature eggs cnn health reporter jacqueline howard is following this for us. so jacqueline how sweeping is this recall here omar, this involves more than 10,000 cartons of organic eggs impacting five states. >> what we know the supplier of the eggs handsome brook farms voluntarily recalled its organic pasture raised 24 count eggs that are sold under the kirkland signature brand. these eggs were distributed to costco stores in alabama, georgia north carolina, south carolina and tennessee and the supplier
