tv. >> patricia has now stopped taking it, but she says she is still suffering uncontrollable diarrhea, which makes life quite hard to live. >> right? >> so i stay pretty much close to the house. i still have the effects of uncontrollable going to the bathroom breaking news right now. >> a high stakes meeting happening on capitol hill, including the incoming vice president jd vance, house speaker mike johnson and the conservative freedom caucus trying to essentially break the ice and find a way for republicans to get on the same page with republicans as the government is set to begin shutting down operations at midnight. also this morning, accused killer luigi mangione is now behind bars in the same federal prison as sean diddy combs in new york. federal

prosecutors, now weighing whether to pursue the death penalty. plus, apple facing pressure to ax its new a.i. tool after it falsely summarized a bbc report as one press freedom group put it, facts cannot be decided by a roll of the dice. john berman is out today. i'm kate baldwin with sara sidner. this is cnn news central. >> breaking news on the chaos on capitol hill. a critical meeting inside the office of house speaker mike johnson as the clock is ticking towards a government shutdown. members of the house freedom caucus sitting down right now with the speaker and vice president elect jd vance, as well as donald trump's pick to run the office of management and budget. vance and johnson, scrambling to get all republicans on the same page after 38 gop lawmakers voted against a trump backed spending measure last night, joining democrats, a plan that was

drawn up at the 11th hour after pressure from trump and elon musk killed a bipartisan funding bill. joining us now cnn's annie greer. annie, what can you tell us about this meeting that is happening right now and what it may signal for the situation? and again, i've said this. >> well, this is about republicans trying to get on the same page they desperately want to pass something to keep the government open. >> but as we saw last night, 38 republicans bucked their own leadership in voting against the plan to keep the government open because they didn't support the extension of the debt limit. so now, by bringing all the key stakeholders in one room, the hope is that there will be enough consensus to try and move forward. in fact, we caught up with house speaker mike johnson this morning who said that he believes that there is is a plan and that they are going to be voting later this morning. that has not been officially announced or anything like that. but we are standing outside the meeting just down the hall trying to get new details,

because right now republicans are back to square one and it's clear they don't have democratic support to rely on. >> annie grier, thank you so much for that late breaking news. appreciate it. we will be checking back in with you, kate, and more of that. >> just moments ago, donald trump took to social media to put out his latest statement. these are significant because it is clearly having an impact on what republicans are doing or not doing when it comes to keeping the government funded. here is what he put on truth social. we will read it for you and we'll read it all together. if there is to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now. under the biden administration, not after january 20th. under trump. this is a biden problem to solve. but if republicans can help solve it, they will. that's a double backflip for you. joining us right now is cnn political commentator alyssa farah griffin and democratic strategist and consultant simon rosenberg. alyssa, you want to decipher that one? i mean, what do you think of that? okay, so just for some historic context, i mean, i worked on capitol

hill for years, pretty much every christmas there is, we come up to the 11th hour of a government funding deadline, but this one is looking. >> this one was avoidable. it was extremely avoidable. the last government shutdown i was in the white house, 2018. >> it was 34 days, the longest in history. >> so if the government were to shut down tonight or at saturday evening, this would end. >> if it went as long would spill into after donald trump was in office. and so one thing i would say to pump the brakes of the idea of some really long term shutdown would be donald trump wants his transition to continue, and he wants his inauguration to continue. >> he doesn't want national parks shut down when he's being sworn in at the capitol on january 20th. so the house has to figure out what it's going to do, though. mike johnson has very limited flexibility here. democrats are not inclined to bail republicans out, but i do think it's interesting that he's basically saying, hey, joe biden is still president. where are you? >> is that indicating also? i mean, simon, let's jump into the the psyche of donald trump on social media, because i know you love to do that. is this also indicating he doesn't think there is a deal to be had? and so he's this is the

beginning of the spin listen, i think the real story this week is that donald trump's honeymoon has come to an end. >> his post-election honeymoon has come to an end. we saw yesterday the fed signal that the markets are worried about his inflationary economic proposals. we're going to have the matt gaetz report come out any day reminding us about his recklessness in choosing his nominees. and now we may have a government shutdown and just incredible republican chaos in capitol hill. this has been an ugly few days for donald trump and the republicans. and so i think they are desperately trying to figure out a path forward. and yes, of course he's going to blame democrats. that's what he does for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. it's not a big surprise. i don't think it's going to work. i mean, we know from history that the people that crash, you know, that caused the government shutdown get punished by voters. and republicans are taking enormous risks right now. >> one thing that this one's going to be hard, i will say just factually, if you look at the sequence of events, it will

be hard for donald trump to to claim this is a biden problem because this was going to be, as i said earlier, like a footnote in this christmas tale, because there was a bipartisan deal until elon musk started putting out tweets, and then donald trump weighed in as well. that's this one's a little. there's, there's, there's there's more to it than this. but this raises once again, the mike johnson problem and playbook put it well this morning about plan c saying this mike johnson's challenge is to find a path that can one keep trump happy. two placate house conservatives three win the support of a substantial number of house democrats four. pass muster with the democratic controlled senate and white house and five allow him to take to keep the gavel. do you see him doing that? correct. >> and just to remember, in the new congress, he is going to be voted in as speaker again and he's going to need the votes. but what complicates this further is that house conservatives, traditionally their issue is they don't want a clean lifting of the debt

ceiling. they've committed to not ever voting for it. donald trump actually hates the debt ceiling. he wants to do away with it. he thinks it's arcane and unnecessary. >> but sometimes a progressive democratic position. correct. >> and even more so, he doesn't want to have to raise the debt ceiling. six months into his first term, donald trump still has a lot of sway with the freedom caucus. i think that because this is a mess of his own making, he's going to have to step in. mike johnson does not have the flexibility to, on his own, bring some of these folks along. and you've seen anna paulina luna, a very trumpy maga member of congress, saying she probably needs to vote for this because her district expects her to. i think donald trump's going to have to twist some arms, and he may spend his christmas break working on fixing the deal. he blew up. so. >> but that then poses something interesting. simon, if donald trump jumps on a plane, gets to washington and starts basically what he will, then i mean, we're going to do, you know, let's just assume because we don't know what's going to happen in the next five minutes. he starts trying to break the logjam between republicans. i just had greg meeks on making very clear that democrats, they negotiated

this once and they have they have no motivation to start heading back to the negotiating table again. could the democrats be looking at a worse deal than they had if they had just gone along with, i'm going to call it plan b last night? >> well, i mean, the reality here is that anything that passes the house and whether they do it under the suspension rules they've been doing, which requires two thirds of a vote, meaning they need lots of democrats to come on board or they go back to a three day period where they just get republicans. it then has to pass a democratic senate, and joe biden has to sign it. and so democrats have to have a seat at the table here, right. at some point, and we did have a seat at the table which got us to this bipartisan deal on wednesday, that elon musk and donald trump blew up. but the notion, this kind of fantasy notion that they're going to be able to pass a bill that has no, that democrats are not consulted on, they are not negotiating, that's being shoved down their throats is a recipe for keeping the government shut down. it's just reckless. it's wasting all of our time. the democrats

have to have a seat at the table here because of our political system and this fantasy that they have, they can do this, you know, purely with republicans, i think is part of what got us into this mess that we're in today. >> and what is always, so frustrating for people not in washington watching this is the government eventually will get funded, but a lot of people are going to potentially feel pain in the meantime. and it's just these always feel like to to not be eloquent. the dumbest of fights. >> no one wins a government shutdown wins. >> the blame game goes get hurt, and then we move on. and it just leaves that ache in your in like icky feeling for people watching it. and this is not going to get easier in the next congress, right? the republican majority in the house is going to be what is it the slimmest in the modern era. >> right. and donald trump wants to focus on things like broadening his tax cuts in the first term. he doesn't want to be dealing with government funding battles and deadlines. and i think there's already this expectation. it feels

weird to talk about the midterms before donald trump's even sworn in. but this would be a really negative way to start a new congress if he's hoping to keep control of the house going into his the second half of his term. so there is no win. there'll be a lot of furloughed federal employees, people who won't be getting paid. they'll eventually get back pay. it should be avoidable. but honestly there's really limited paths out at this point. >> it's a it is a strange moment that there's always like a plan c, like a mitch mcconnell comes in right at the last second. >> i don't know that there's a hero in this, i know, but that's the thing you always are waiting for, like the mitch mcconnell to come in and be like, i've got this thing. >> i'm not going to tell anybody about it because this is what i do. then they fix it. this one feels different. but let's see, let's see. let's buckle up and like buckle up again. it's good to see you guys. thank you both very much sara. >> right ahead. after the fall of the assad regime in syria, the u.s. is now revealing it has more troops in syria than previously known. that news coming as an american delegation is in syria today.

which is more than double the 900 that was previously disclosed. the announcement comes as the first u.s. delegation is expected to visit the country since the fall of president bashar al-assad. cnn chief national correspondent security correspondent alex marquardt, following all of the developments. now, what's the significance of today's visit? and this number is quite high compared to what they had initially said. >> it is sarah. and this is really a transparency question. we had long heard that there were some 900 u.s. troops in syria. now we're being told that it's 2000. they are primarily there to fight i.s.i.s.. one would imagine that troops were surged in there, given all the uncertainty the past few weeks. but this is a very important day in u.s. syrian relations. we have this delegation that is in damascus as we speak. we are waiting to hear from them momentarily. the u.s. has not had diplomatic ties with a syrian government for the past 12 years. and so this is the first high level delegation to go back into damascus in years.

it is being led by senior members of the state department, and we believe that they are meeting with bts, this group that led the charge to overthrow the regime of president bashar al assad. one big question is whether they'll be meeting with its head. ahmad al-sharaa, who is designated by the u.s. to be a terrorist. there's a $10 million bounty on his head. he is a designated terrorist group. so in these meetings, the u.s. is certainly going to be pushing for its vision of what it hopes syria will be an inclusive, representative government, one that does not allow terrorists to be harbored inside syria, that one that doesn't have chemical weapons. but you can be sure that this transitional government is also going to be pushing for u.s. sanctions to be lifted on syria for that terrorist designation to be dropped. and, sarah, one major focus of these meetings, we're told, is going to be the location of austin tice, the american journalist who disappeared some 12 years ago. the u.s. has been frantically looking for any sign of ties. so a lot to discuss. you have

barbara lee, who is the top middle east official leading this delegation alongside roger carstens, who's in charge of hostage affairs, and a newly named senior advisor named daniel rubinstein. >> sarah, i know there's a desperate search. his family just devastated, hoping that he is still with us and he can be found. alex marquardt, thank you so much for your reporting on this accused killer. luigi mangione in federal court in a federal prison this morning for the first time in new york. now his lawyers are planning their strategy as they face the possibility the feds may push for the death penalty against him. and new information from the investigation into the man police believe may have been planning a coordinated attack with that teenage girl, who ended up perpetrating a mass shooting at her wisconsin school. those stories ahead can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life had extremely joyful moments and some really

>> doom prophecy. streaming exclusively on max this morning, the list of charges against accused killer luigi mangione are growing. >> mangione now is now facing a murder charge on top of the 11 state charges that he's we've already discussed the federal murder charge brings with it the possibility of seeking the death penalty against mangione. we also learned this after mangione was extradited to new york and met with a spectacle, a long, dramatic perp walk that even included the mayor of new york city as part of it, rarely seen. so as for what happens next. joining us right now is cnn legal analyst joey jackson to help us walk through this. let's start with the charges. joey, why federal charges? >> so i think a couple of reasons. >> first of all, if you look at the federal charges and distinguish that from the actual state complaint, wow. >> it sings of all the details. >> and generally speaking, in any case, you just have to establish really a facially

sufficient complaint. you don't have to go into all the details. this talks about everything. but i think number one, there's a role for the federal government to the extent that you cross state lines, to engage in any offense, they have authority. and here. right, he certainly did that. and you see that with regard to him going from georgia to new york to do what he did, use of the internet qualifies. they have him as stalking. et cetera. and i think there's could potentially be another basis. and you hit on it. and that's the death penalty. new york state does not have the death penalty. the federal government does. and i think they certainly want to assure accountability. and the federal government wants to exert itself with respect to this prosecution. >> so then we already saw yesterday maybe the laying of the groundwork from his defense team of saying that this is this poses a double jeopardy. double jeopardy problem and kind of putting that out there as a challenge. do you see that? >> so i don't. now, first of all, obviously it's good advocacy by counsel. and what they're saying is, look, it's unfair you're piling on. and that also could be playing to the public. remember at the end of the day, he'll have a jury

of his peers and people are celebrating this, calling him saint luigi and everything else. so is that a factor? this is the unfair government going against the little person. et cetera. but from a legal perspective, i see no basis. why? number one, when you look at double jeopardy, it means accused of the same offense and tried twice for it. the federal government has a different theory. what is that in a state crime, murder is you've committed the murder, right? if you intended to do it. and of course, in the state case, they're saying that terrorism was a component. but the federal government's theory is that you crossed state lines to do so. that in and of itself, makes it a separate offense. federal government also charging stalking as it relates to the use of the internet as it relates to travel and of course, carrying a firearm across state lines. so to the extent that there are different theories and different charges, there is no double jeopardy bar. but again, i think this is a defense advocating and potentially garnering more if there could be. if you look at social media support for their client. >> so this gets to another aspect of this. when you're talking about support and a

potential jury pool, and also then that very public perp walk that we watched yesterday, do you see a problem in that? >> so here's what i think. i mean, look, remember the former. remember the mayor was a former police person, right? a high ranking one. and so i think, right, to be fair, that that's something that's very close to him. where you live in new york city. and of course, he is one who is, you know, wants to be tough on crime and is all about crime. but i think also this is a different scenario. it's a different scenario because we haven't seen someone like this. kate, who's been celebrated for engaging in this type of activity. and i think what they're showing is that there's cooperation between the federal government, right. the state city government, in coordinating to bring this to justice. you heard the police commissioner speak to, hey, glorifying this is improper. inappropriate. it has no place. so i think there's a larger message that whoever you are, whatever you do, if it's in this city, we're going to come get you, and i'm going to be the face of it and ensure that

justice is done for all citizens. >> one of the things that was that came out with the federal complaint is some details about the evidence that they say they have gathered, that we didn't really have before, and it speaks. there's offers up some interesting insight. the notebook that they say they have that they found on him when he was arrested, the way it's written in the complaint contains several handwritten pages that express hostility toward the health insurance industry and wealthy executives in particular. and then there's this october 22nd entry, and the writer calling an upcoming investor conference a true windfall, describing the intent to whack the ceo, quote unquote, whack the ceo of an insurance company at the conference. you're if you're seeing that, what are you thinking? >> so i'm thinking that he needs to be concerned. that is the defendant as it relates even to the state prosecution. right. people were talking about, hey, is terrorism appropriate charge, right. you're talking about the federal complaint. of course. exactly. but in the state case, people are saying, how is this terrorism? et cetera. if you're talking about trying to engage

in plotting and planning and having a specific message for an industry, corporate america, specifically the health care industry, how they're unfair, how they deny claims. you go to pre preparation and planning that presents a significant problem to prove terrorism in the state case. in addition to proving murder in the state and the federal case. so there's even more i should tell you kate i'm i'm expecting that is not written in this complaint that exists. and i think we'll see that as the prosecution moves forward. >> very, very interesting to see what they're what they're already revealing. i have to say, it's good to see you, joe. thank you so much. coming up for us, the clock ticking down to a midnight deadline. and we're keeping a close eye on capitol hill. of course, as congress is struggling right now, they are on the definition of the struggle bus to try to keep the government operations going there. already, we're hearing of meetings on capitol hill among republicans to get on the same page. what are democrats going to do about it? what new demands may they put on the table? and a shutdown

could also impact families heading to the airports this weekend. and another big question of will the weather also slow you down andy, take a seat, anderson. >> look at this. you're wet, disheveled. there's debris hitting you. we need to be ready for new year's eve. maybe you are ready. >> new year's eve live with anderson and andy. live coverage starts at eight. >> emergency crystals pop and fizz when you throw them back. >> and who doesn't love a good throwback? >> now with vitamin d for the dark days of winter? >> maybe i'm foolish. maybe i'm blind thinking i can see through this and see what's behind but i'm only human after all i'm only human after all. don't put your hand.

>> oh, some people got the real problem. some people out of love. >> hi, susan. honey. yeah, i respect that, but that cough looks pretty bad. try this. robitussin, honey. >> the real honey you love. >> plus the powerful cough relief you need. >> mind if i root through your trash? >> robitussin with real honey and elderberry. >> look out, cause here i come. >> have you always had trouble with your weight? >> same. discover the power of wegovy with wegovy i lost 35 pounds and some lost over 46 pounds. >> and i'm keeping the weight off. >> i'm reducing my risk. wegovy is the only weight management medicine proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack or stroke in adults with known heart disease and obesity. don't use wegovy with semaglutide or glp one medicines, or in children under 12. don't take if you or your family had mtc men2 or if

trump approved house speaker mike johnson, vice president elect jd vance and trump's pick to head the office of management and budget are trying to hash things out. the critical question can they come up with a plan to get all their own party members to back a funding bill? last night, 38 republicans joined most democrats to reject a trump backed plan to avert a shutdown. speaker johnson said this just moments ago as he headed to that meeting we are playing. >> is there going to be a different bill on the floor today? >> so you got a vote today? yeah, we're we're expecting the votes this morning. so y'all stay tuned. we got a plan. >> you have you've reached a new agreement. >> we'll see. >> joining us now is massachusetts congresswoman and democratic whip katherine katherine clark. thank you so much. um, congresswoman, i want to start with this. you just heard johnson saying there's a plan. they're going to vote on it this morning. have democrats been consulted on this plan?

>> well, good morning, sara, and i apologize for my voice. >> there's been a lot of heated conversations going on, but i we we have no idea. the republicans have failed to put a budget together over two years. we have they have taken us to the verge of a shutdown for the sixth time. and every time democrats have come together to be the voice for the american people to prevent that, we had a negotiated deal. it was signed off and posted by the republicans, and then elon musk sent out 150 tweets, told them they shouldn't do it. donald trump weighed in afterwards and joined the chorus, and they pulled back on the deal they had negotiated. they have now not talking with us. they are continuing the chaos and infighting and we will see what they do this morning. but we stand here

ready to fight for the working people of this country who expect congress to fulfill this fundamental responsibility of making government work for them. >> i'm curious what it might take for democrats and what the demands are from democrats to try and get a bill passed before the deadline. >> we we already negotiated a bill. they know full well how to get to. yes, they had the votes on tuesday on both sides of the aisle to end this in a very productive way and to get even though it wasn't a full budget because they failed to produce one, it would have done critical investments in child care and reducing the cost of that for families in community health centers. desperately needed disaster aid for our farmers, small businesses, people trying to rebuild their

lives. so we we have had the negotiations, we have compromised and met them halfway. now they are saying that they are only negotiating with unelected elon musk and doing what he wants to do to set the stage for their tax bill that will once again explode our deficit and reward the very wealthiest americans. >> mike johnson has said that this is washington. this is how lawmaking is done. he's talking about this as if it's just sort of totally a normal way of doing business. do you see it that way? >> absolutely not. this is a total fiasco. this is a now government supposed to run. we're supposed to come from across the country, from different places, different ideologies, different life experiences, and come together and make a better product and

put the voices of hard working americans into the corridors of power here in congress. that's how it's supposed to work. and when you fail, as mike johnson and the gop in the house have to put a budget together, when you come to democrats and negotiate to get you out of that position that you've put yourselves in the country in, you should honor the agreement that you made. there is nothing business as usual or status quo about having an unelected, richest man in the world blowing up negotiations. why? so that he can earn even more money and take it out of the pockets of families that are counting on social security, food assistance, cancer research that impacts their children's lives. these are the fundamental things the

american people are counting on us to do, and there's nothing that is business as usual about this process. with the house gop. >> you've spoken about elon musk a couple of times, and he has. he has gone out again and said that the congress should have passed the the plan b bill that both democrats and 38 republicans said no to. and now we're hearing from donald trump, who is putting full blame if there is a shutdown on democrats. what do you make of that well, donald trump has already been out there saying that he wants to shut down government if he doesn't get what he wants. >> donald trump is not even taken the oath of office. and he is already causing chaos for the american people. it took him just a few weeks to turn his back on the promises. and what we are saying is, let's get to work. honor the deal you

made, because it honors hardworking americans. let's invest in them. let's protect their social security and medicare. let's make sure we continue to cut the price of prescription drugs that we reduce the cost of living like the cost of child care and groceries and housing. these are the issues the american people want us to focus on. but elon musk and donald trump are so busy planning their tax breaks for themselves. not for you, not for the american people, for themselves, that they are willing to shut down our government in order to do it. this is ending the 118th congress, as we started with self-serving chaos by donald trump and elon musk and the house gop. >> do you think that there is any chance of a bill being passed before the deadline at

this point? >> of course, there's a chance. let's come together. let's work. if you don't want to honor the deal that you already made, make a proposal to us. work with us. but since they blew up the own deal that they had agreed to, it has been crickets from them. so we'll see. they're saying they may have something to put on the floor today. i certainly hope so. we will do everything in our power to prevent a shutdown, but we are also not going to let them manipulate and use this situation to harm the american people who are counting on us. >> there's a call by a couple of republicans that donald trump should come down and start in on these negotiations. do you think biden should be weighing in, as well as the president, the current president? >> i think that we have heard from the from the white house. and, of course, it will be president biden who will sign

whatever we can pass. but let's let's just back up a little bit and review again. we are in this situation because the house gop failed to meet the fundamental responsibility of passing a budget. we did it when we were in the majority. they have not. and so their only choice here, on the verge of another shutdown, is to come together and work with us. we did it with them. we made compromises. the bill we agreed to is not everything we wanted, but it was a good start. it was. it is a positive bill that keeps government functioning until march and make some key investments. the american people need. what do we have now? they have blown that up because of an unelected. billionaire decides that that bill doesn't work for him. that's what this is about. so democrats will continue to

stand with the american people and do everything we can to prevent a shutdown today. but the responsibility is absolutely with the house gop. and we will see what they do. this morning, the actions they take, we are here ready to vote, prepared to move forward. >> we republicans do have control of the house. congresswoman katherine clark, i hope that your voice gets better. i have a feeling it might get worse before it gets better. as this day goes forward and time keeps ticking. really appreciate you coming on this morning, kate. >> the congresswoman's voice, emblematic of the situation. very strained and very exhausted. also this for us. apple feeling the heat after its new a.i. feature backfired and incorrectly summarized news reports last week presenting users with literal fake news. a push notification created by apple intelligence falsely told users that ceo murder suspect luigi luigi mangione had shot

himself. now, the press freedom group reporters without borders wants the tech giant, in their words, to act responsibly by scrapping the whole tool. cnn's hadas gold has much more on this wild, wild, wild, wild. what does this say about the limitations or present and show us about the limitations of a.i. right now? >> look, a.i. is really cool. it can be really useful, but it is still new. >> and this shows us that it still can be very unreliable. now what's worrisome, most worrisome about this situation is that when it was presented to users on their phones as a push alert, it made it seem it was coming directly from news outlets. that one about luigi mangione made it seem as though it was coming directly from the bbc. one of the most trusted, well-known brands of journalism and news around the world. now, as you noted, this is part of apple's new apple intelligence, its a.i. feature. this is only something that's shown on the newer versions of their phones and computers and ipads. the new operating system. but it is expected to be rolled out across all of our iphones sometime soon. now what

happened? this is part of a larger a.i. summary of news that got pushed onto people's phones, and the bbc complained, because we can put up what some of these said. it said literally coming from the bbc news, part of a summary of other stories as well. luigi mangione shoots himself, makes it seem like it's coming directly from the bbc. there was actually another one last month that a propublica reporter pointed out from the new york times and that said that netanyahu was arrested. it seemed to be taking other news reports, confusing them in a way, because what had actually happened with the netanyahu situation is the international criminal court had put out an arrest warrant. he had not actually been arrested. but the a.i. somehow got confused. but again, the issue is that it made it seem as coming directly from the new york times. but the publishers have no control over these summaries. they don't get to put in what the summary should be. it just showed up from apple, from the apple intelligence itself. now, the bbc has complained went to apple. they're saying we want apple to fix this because it's dangerous for their brand and it's dangerous for other journalism brands as well. now

apple has not commented, but the issue here is not just that people could be getting fake news and getting confused. but what if one of those summaries had said there's an active shooter in new york city, and then people get freaked out and people start to panic and people start taking action based off of responding to summaries. and so that's why you have groups like reporters with without borders who are saying that these need to be pulled back. they say it's a blow to the outlet's credibility and a danger to the public's right to reliable information on current affairs. so very cool, but still very unreliable. >> so, hadas, what is the advice then, until this gets worked out or until whatever that people can ensure they're getting the the news they're getting is correct. like how do you arm yourself correctly. >> this particular incident is actually one that actually really worries me when it comes to a.i., because we always tell people with a.i. verify, go to the source, go to the source. exactly. but when you're looking at your phone like this, it seems like it's coming from the source itself. it says bbc, it says the new york times. these are some of

the most trusted names in news. how can you not trust them? so i guess the answer is, if you do have one of these a.i. things on your phone, make sure you know what it looks like when it's the a.i. recommending something to you. kind of like right now when you google something and there's that summary right at the top. used to be telling people to, you know, do weird things with their pizza. weird advice, know when it's coming from the a.i. and you still have to really verify and go to the original source, not just the summary. go to the new york times.com, go to cnn.com, go to bbc.com and that you that presents the problem right. >> you want you might see it but then it's now there. your responsibility is still to click through go to it read it google it google it from the original source. it's these steps. that is exactly why you're so worried. >> hopefully, hopefully apple will fix this problem. >> all right let's see what apple says because we haven't responded yet. it's good to see you. thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. >> sarah hadas and kate, don't we have enough to do like having to double and triple check when your phone's telling you? >> i mean, we can never have too much to do, sarah. we all. we have endless amounts of time. >> correct the sarcasm is dripping from your face, kate.

all right. today, speaking of things that aren't great, today is a huge holiday weekend for travelers. that sounds good, but the weather might not be friendly. a ground stop was briefly issued at chicago o'hare this morning because of icy conditions, and triple a estimates a record 119 million people will be traveling starting tomorrow for the year end holidays. almost 90% are expected to get out there on the roads. let's turn to cnn meteorologist derek van dam to help us navigate the busy holiday travel weekend. derek, i'm looking at all those planes. you make it look so pretty, but we know it might get a bit ugly. everything is going to be fine, sarah. everything's going to be fine. you can cut the sarcasm with a knife here in the studio this morning. you're right. o'hare airport had a ground stop as of 730 local time, it has been lifted. it is now a ground delay. that is, of course,

going to have ramifications. kind of that snowball effect through the course of the afternoon as planes depart. o'hare. and then i want to point your attention to what's happening on the east coast, because the same storm system bringing the snowfall to chicago is now moving towards the major airports that could see some flakes fly in the air from d.c. to new york and more specifically across the local regional radars. or i should say, airports from syracuse to albany. so double check your flights. that could impact you. now, this same storm system brought over. get this 400 crashes that state troopers in minnesota responded to yesterday. this is the scene coming out of minneapolis. and you can see just how snow covered the roads were from this quick moving and impactful clipper system that is now starting to exit chicago o'hare. the visibility is getting better. so not only are we impacted in the skies, but also on the roadways, you can see the visibility starting to fall into pittsburgh and eventually they'll reach the east coast as well, where we expect a few snowflakes. but in

terms of snow totals, we think the highest will likely be here near boston, where we could get a couple of quick inches of snowfall right along and inland from the i-95 corridor. sarah, i don't want to be crass, but it is december and, you know, we should expect some snow. hopefully. i hope we get it here in new york for christmas. yeah. all right. thank you so much derek van dam. everybody just be safe out there. drive slow. all right. starbucks workers are on strike in three major cities today. and the union warns more strikes could happen across the country before christmas. all right. the number of families experiencing homelessness in the united states is rising at alarming rates. how one group is working to provide much needed support this holiday season can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life has extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much new year's day on cnn.

the winds of change.

>> i'm rahel solomon in new york and this is cnn. >> this morning russia launched a deadly missile strike on ukraine's capital, kyiv. the attack ignited fires across the capital. at least one person was killed, a dozen others injured, and several embassies damaged. this comes just a day after vladimir putin bragged about russia's new nuclear capable ballistic missiles, prompting ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy to call him. and i'm quoting here a all right. new details emerging about the madison school shooting. we've now learned the identity of a california man who police say was communicating with the teenage shooter. and possible planning other attacks. a neighbor of 20 year old alexander paffendorf says he saw police carrying out a search at the man's home, and he said they carried out a big black bag that he thought looked like potentially a gun case. earlier this week, rupnow

gunned down two people and injured six more at her school in madison, wisconsin. funeral services will be held for 14 year old rubi vergara and on monday for teacher aaron west. this morning, starbucks workers on strike in seattle, chicago and los angeles. the union says that strike could expand to hundreds more stores by christmas eve, unless a deal is reached over pay, benefits and working conditions. starbucks blames the union for ending talks. a spokesperson saying they, quote, need the union to return to the table. kate. >> a lot going on, including this after years of seeing progress, family homelessness is now seeing a troubling trend of rising once again. it increased 15% between 2022 and 2023. cnn's jake tapper traveled to boston, where one group is stepping up and trying to help. >> hey, good morning. good morning. >> hi. >> don't forget you, green leaf. >> you'd never know it by

looking at them. but the children in this school have, at one point or another, experienced homelessness. >> can you tell me how you feel so far since you've gotten here? show me with your thumbs. >> five days a week at horizons for homeless children in boston. more than 200 kids are given free access to education. playtime and meals. >> what have we been doing every day in community meeting? we've been doing what we've been three days. we've been breathing. and what kind of breathing have we been doing? we've been doing what? triangle. triangle. >> breathing. the program has been a lifesaver for moms like carrie ann, who struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety after the birth of her second daughter. >> i was really bad. i was all over the place. i couldn't concentrate. >> carrie ann and her daughters moved in with a family member, but when that got too crowded, they moved into a shelter where they live, doubled up with another family. >> it wasn't really ideal, you know, it was too crowded. >> we were all in one room, so

we were all cramped up. >> carrie ann worked overnights at a fast food chain to make money for her family, while caring for them during the day, but her youngest daughter started to struggle. >> she was very like in her shell. >> she wasn't really growing, you know, like her developmental growth wasn't doing good. she has speech delays and everything developmental delays are a common problem for children experiencing homelessness. >> it's an issue that the ceo and president of horizons, kate barron, has been trying to address for years, not just as a housing crisis, but as a public health crisis. >> at the age 0 to 6, your entire brain is being formed. if you're homeless during that period, it can cause significant challenges to your brain development. >> so children who have experienced a period of homelessness are four times more likely to have developmental delays. >> and if those developmental delays aren't remediated, that will follow them. >> last year, families with

children made up about 30% of the homeless population across the united states and more than half of all families experiencing homelessness live in the nation's largest cities. >> cities like boston are a perfect storm for family homelessness. we have high housing costs. we have a huge gap between the minimum wage and a living wage in the city of boston, we have significant child poverty. so when you put all those together with the high cost of child care on top of it, it's impossibly difficult for families. >> carrie ann learned about horizons through the shelter she was staying in. then her family's life changed dramatically. >> she's going to age out of here. so that gives me like, okay, a sense of security. she's going to stay here until she goes to kindergarten and she's getting everything she needs. you know, the nourishment, the warmth, not only education, the warmth. you know, that makes me feel, you know. calm. >> carrie ann now has her own apartment, her ged and a new
