>> this cake. disfrutar la vida es para comer. >> this is amazing. >> this is quite different from this morning. but at the same time, very, very familiar. and, um, definitely nods to the traditional way you make chile relleno. >> queremos plasma. qué no esta pelado lo moderno con lo traditional al respeto seguimos la recetas y todo solamente es nuestra propuesta. >> just as my roots in veracruz go back hundreds of years, so do the origins of every recipe. veracruzana continue to celebrate the produce that passed through their port, but fighting for the freedom to create something new has also been a cornerstone of their rich history. and with that kind of mindset, you just know there are more great things to come
11:01 pm
and a very good day to you and a warm welcome to you wherever you're joining us in the united states around the world and joining us, streaming on cnn. >> max, i'm richard quest in london. in this bulletin, donald trump's manifest destiny, the u.s. president elect has suggested his new administration could take back the panama canal, which draws a sharp rebuke from panama's president in new york. the police say a suspect is now in custody who is accused of killing a woman in a subway car after he set her on fire. and vladimir putin has vowed to unleash destruction on those responsible for a drone attack that's deep inside russian territory four weeks to the day and donald trump will be sworn in as the u.s. president. he's previewing what he says will be a common sense revolution. in
11:02 pm
his words, during the second term, the president elect was speaking in phoenix. it was his first rally style speech since the election. he told his conservative supporters that by turning point usa, he would deliver on his campaign promises when it came to the border and immigration, and he touched on a wide range of topics, including the panama canal. mr. trump said he'd consider retaking control of the canal, as he's accused panama of charging fees that he called ridiculous and highly unfair. >> we're being ripped off at the panama canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else. it was not given for the benefit of others by a token of cooperation, but it was given to panama and to the people of panama. but it has provisions. you got to treat us fairly, and they haven't treated us fairly. if the principles, both
11:03 pm
moral and legal of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the panama canal be returned to the united states of america in full, quickly and without question. i'm not going to stand for it. so to the officials of panama, please be guided accordingly. >> donald trump's comments, both in phoenix and online, have sparked a swift reaction from the country's president, josé raúl mulino made clear his country will retain and remain in control of the canal como president as president, i want to express that every square meter of the panama canal and its adjacent areas belong to panama and will continue to belong to panama. >> the sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable, he said. the canal will continue to be in panamanian hands as the patrimony of our nation, and guaranteeing its use for the
11:04 pm
peaceful and uninterrupted transit of ships of all nations and donald trump has revived his interest in obtaining greenland from denmark. >> it was a preoccupation in the first term. it resurfaced last night when he announced he'd selected paypal co-founder ken howery to serve as his ambassador to denmark. the danish prime minister has previously called the suggestion absurd. cnn's steve contorno is in west palm beach, florida, with the details of this extraordinary speech by the president elect speaking from arizona on sunday, donald trump delivered what his campaign called a rally style speech in front of a friendly conservative audience, his first since winning election last month. >> and it was certainly reminiscent of many of the campaign speeches that he delivered over the past two years, with a heavy focus on immigration and his plans for the us-mexico border. he did, however, tread some new ground, saying that he was open to
11:05 pm
allowing tiktok, the chinese social media company, to continue to operate in the united states. he also considered taking back control of the panama canal, and suggested that he would meet early in his term with russian president vladimir vladimir putin about the ukraine war. he also pushed back against democrats criticism that he has allowed billionaire elon musk to become the de facto leader of his party and the country. take a listen to what he said there on a new kick russia, russia. >> russia. ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. all the different hoaxes. and the new one is president trump has ceded the presidency to elon musk no, no, that's not happening. no, he's not going to be president. that i can tell you. and i'm safe. you know why he can't be? he wasn't born in this country. >> during his remarks on saturday, donald trump also
11:06 pm
signaled a show of support for many of his controversial picks for his incoming administration. he stood by robert f kennedy jr. and his plan to, quote, make america healthy again. he also gave a show of support for pete hegseth, his pick to lead the pentagon as defense secretary, as well as tulsi gabbard, his choice for director of national intelligence. >> but to get wokeness out of our military and restore the unquestioned strength and fighting spirit of the american armed forces, i have appointed pete hegseth to be our next secretary of defense he's going to be great to make our intelligence community respected even more. i don't even think the word even is right, because we had some bad years with these people. but i've nominated tulsi gabbard as our director of national intelligence. >> one thing trump did not mention the chaotic end to congress's 2024 session, where
11:07 pm
trump nearly caused a government shutdown with his 11th hour demands to push off a debt ceiling vote beyond 2024, many of trump's allies, also speaking at the conference, threatened republicans that if they continue to stand in his way, they could find themselves with primary challenges. steve contorno, cnn, west palm beach, florida ron brownstein is with me in los angeles doing duty for us this morning. >> a senior editor at the atlantic. let's just talk about this speech. there's so much let's take this in rapid fire, in a sense, and then we can pull it together at the end. ron, why would president elect trump choose another fight, this time over the panama canal? >> yeah. welcome to the new season of the trump show. >> this is what we had in the first, you know, the first go round. >> just unpredictable. but inevitable conflicts. >> i mean, his view of international relations
11:08 pm
essentially is zero sum. and it usually involves the u.s. threatening countries and trying to publicly kind of break them and make them do what he wants. and so this is this is the latest in some ways, he's echoing the language of ronald reagan in 1977 78, when congress debated this in the first place under jimmy carter. but, you know, richard, the list of foreign conflicts that he's going to have with other governments is going to be very long. >> right? so on that point, here we have them. he had an argument with canada and mexico over trade. and when he's threatened, he's told europe buy more lng or face tariffs. he's told latin america don't have a single currency or move away from the dollar, or i will tariff you. now he's threatening panama to take back the canal. it reminds me of that old movie, michael douglas movie, where he plays the president and he says, i'll tell you how you win elections.
11:09 pm
you tell the public what's wrong and who to blame. and he's going around the world basically blaming anybody and everybody for anything. >> well, except except some of the autocratic governments that he generally kind of comments about how strong and skilled the leaders are in china, russia, hungary, north korea. look, as i said, this is trump's m.o. you could you could add again, him reiterating his threats for unilateral military action against mexico, mexican drug cartels without approval of the mexican government. and what's, i think really significant is that, you know, in the first term, trump felt he had to appoint a number of senior officials from outside of his maga universe as concessions to other power centers in the gop, who basically talked him off the ledge on some of the more extreme ideas. john bolton said he was ready to leave nato at various points. marco rubio is a mainstream republican. his national security advisor is a
11:10 pm
mainstream republican. but there are going to be fewer people in the room with the independence and the inclination to tell him no. when so many of these conflicts may get to a higher temperature than we saw in his first four years. >> if we talk about i read your article in the atlantic on this question of the the way in which those republicans rebelled, can i suggest a different interpretation and put me right if i'm wrong? was this not just the death throes of toddlers, sort of in the nursery before nanny comes in and steps on them? you know, once he's in power and the prospect of a primary challenge becomes real more than theoretical, all those republicans will bow at the knee. >> well, i think republicans are in congress are more comfortable opposing trump from the right than the center. and i think that's what people are kind of missing about this episode. yes, it is true that the biggest institutional constraint on trump, i believe,
11:11 pm
is that the house majority is a lot smaller than it was when he took office the first time, 2017. he had 241 house votes. now they have 220, but with vacancies it could be as little as 217. why did those republicans rebel against trump? it's because he asked them to do something that democrats usually prefer, which is take the debt ceiling, the u.s. debt ceiling off the table as a lever to try to force big cuts in government spending. and there were 38 house republicans who said no when he was president. there were 67 house republicans who voted against raising the debt ceiling, and they were only able to do it with democratic votes. so i think when some of these members on the right flank of the republican caucus looking at their districts can't, will still feel comfortable opposing him from the right, that isn't going to happen. that isn't going to be relevant, though. very often, if you think about many of the things that he wants to do, good to see you, sir. >> actually, before we. one more, quick, one more quickly
11:12 pm
before we go, i notice he's appointing a lot of special envoys. i don't remember quite. i mean, including mark burnett. by the way, special envoy to the united kingdom. i don't necessarily remember, and i'm not sure any of these have to be confirmed by the senate. it's a bit dubious how many and what the roles they all play. why so many? do you think? >> well, it's similar to what he did in the first term in terms of so many acting secretaries. i mean, he he wants to give himself maximum flexibility to pursue his goals, i think, and is not at all, as we've seen, averse to going around the traditional diplomatic or institutional structures inside the federal government. and i think these special envoys are kind of similar in kind of intent and spirit to what we saw in the first term with all of these acting cabinet secretaries and under cabinet, you know, sub sub cabinet officials. it's just another way of giving him more control, i think, and kind of coloring outside the lines. >> ron brownstein, thank you
11:13 pm
thanks, richard. police have arrested a suspect in the burning death of a woman who was on a new york subway car as it sat at a station in brooklyn. horrific story. the officers say eight hours after the woman was set alight, the man was arrested on another train in midtown. cnn's gloria pazmino has our report that's right. >> a really disturbing set of details that we have learned from the new york police department on what is truly a horrific crime taking place early on sunday morning. this happened on the f train, and that's in coney island in brooklyn. and it happened at the stillwell avenue train station. that's the end of the line. now, according to police, there was a woman who was apparently sleeping in one of these trains. the train was not moving at the time. and then there was a man who approached
11:14 pm
her and used a lighter to light a blanket that she was using on fire. she was quickly engulfed by the flames. the man then just simply walked away. now we are told by police that these two people appeared to have no prior interaction. they are not known to one another and that this was just a crime that came out of nowhere. this woman appeared to have been asleep at the time that she was set on fire. now there were police that were patrolling the subway station at that point who smelled the smoke and saw it and quickly rushed to the scene, tried to put her out, but unfortunately they were not able to save her. ems also responded to the scene. they pronounced her dead there in the subway. now, shortly after this incident, the nypd was not able to make an arrest right away. in fact, for several hours throughout the day on sunday, there was a manhunt for a man that was captured on
11:15 pm
camera and on police video. when they initially entered the subway station. now, it is an interesting sort of development in the sense that technology has played an incredible role here for the police, who used surveillance video captured by the cameras inside the train in order to put out photos of the suspect that they were looking for. then it was several hours later that three high school aged teenagers called in a tip line into the police line, and police were able to apprehend this man. he was captured and at another train station in midtown, very far from where the incident took place. so a combination of technology and good police work. i want you to take a listen to the police commissioner. just talking about the incident. >> someone who we believe carried out one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being.
11:16 pm
>> and it took the life of an innocent new yorker. but at this hour, i am pleased to announce that a short time ago, alert nypd transit officers took a person of interest into custody. >> now we're still waiting to learn more about the identity of the victim, but also the identity of the suspect and what charges they will be facing. this is all happening as there's been a lot of focus and conversation on the issue of public safety here in new york city, but specifically public safety in the transit system. last week, governor kathy hochul said that she was deploying additional members of the national guard into the subway system to help with patrolling and with public safety at a time when both the city and the state are working to keep crime down. gloria pazmino, cnn, new york. >> to germany now and the east of the country, which is still processing the tragedy of friday's car attack at a busy
11:17 pm
christmas market. in the hours ahead, germany's far right afd party, which is growing in political popularity, will hold a public memorial service in magdeburg, where the attack took place. the party's candidate for chancellor is likely to be there. hundreds of supporters of the far right movement have protested in favor of remigration on critics on both the left and the right are using the deadly incident to attack the german government on its immigration policies, despite the fact that the suspect is apparently a self-confessed. islamophobe. and now we're learning more about that suspect, taleb al abdulmohsen, who faces multiple murder and attempted murder charges. apparently, he had a history of making troubling social media posts and grew increasingly dark and threatening before the attack. the german authorities were apparently alerted to this. still to come on our program, the new syrian leader talks about the future of the country

your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened. breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling problems urinating, vision changes or eye pain occur what a wonderful world. >> ask your doctor about once daily trelegy for copd. because breathing should be beautiful all day and night. >> you don't stop being you just because you turn 65. but you do face more risk from flu and covid. last year alone, those viruses hospitalized nearly 1 million people 65 and older. 1 million vaccines lower your risk of getting really sick so you can keep doing you. >> jordan's foreign minister is to travel to damascus on monday, where he'll meet
11:22 pm
syrian officials, including the country's de facto leader. ahmad al-sharaa, also known as abu mohammad al-jolani, led the group of rebels that ousted president assad earlier this month. now, he held a news conference alongside turkey's foreign minister in damascus on sunday, where he said that all weapons in the country will now be controlled by the state. >> we conducted a large military operation and entered major metropolitan areas and people from all segments of syrian society welcomed us with open arms. we are now working on protecting communities and minorities from attacks and on preventing external actors from exploiting the situation to stir up sectarian strife. we will not by any means allow for arms outside the control of the state, whether from revolutionary factions or factions in the sdf areas. we need to close this chapter as quickly as possible, because the presence of rogue arms in the country is what leads to
11:23 pm
chaos and unstable security israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is speaking out after houthi rebels fired a missile at tel aviv this weekend. >> the prime minister vowed israeli forces will continue to target the houthis in yemen. excuse me? in the same way that they've dealt with other iranian proxies. mr. netanyahu's comments came after the u.s. launched a series of strikes against the rebel group on saturday bishop arnaud bozeman has reacted forcefully against the terror arms of iran's evil axis. >> so we will act against the houthis. only in this case, we are not acting alone. the u.s. and other countries see the houthis as a threat not only to international shipping, but to the international order. therefore, we will act forcefully, with determination and sophistication. i tell you, even if it takes time, the result will be the same result as against the other terror arms several members of the same family were killed in an israeli airstrike on central
11:24 pm
gaza on saturday. >> now, according to officials, 11 people died when a house east of darrell issa was targeted. we've reached out to israel's military for comment. the health ministry of gaza says more than 45,000 palestinians have been killed since the israel launched its offensive last year. numbers we are unable to confirm. the humanitarian crisis across gaza continues to worsen. high school. high food prices. this is the chaos at an ngo facility in central gaza. one woman said she was there to get food for her children, adding that the situation would be unbearable without assistance. like this. two u.s. navy pilots are lucky to be alive after their fighter jet was shot down over the red sea on saturday. in a statement issued by u.s. central command, the attack was labeled a friendly fire incident. cnn's julia benbrook has more on what we know so far. >> there are still a lot of
11:25 pm
questions and a full investigation is underway, but u.s. central command is calling this an apparent friendly fire incident. they've said that the two u.s. navy pilots were safely ejected after their fighter jet was shot down over the red sea on saturday. initial assessments show that one crew member sustained minor injuries. here's what else we know right now. according to centcom, the aircraft, an f a 18, was operating from the uss harry s truman when it was mistakenly fired upon by the uss gettysburg. the uss gettysburg, a ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser, is a part of the truman carrier strike group, which entered the waters of the middle east one week ago. now, as i mentioned, this investigation is ongoing, but cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric leighton detailed the types of questions that could be asked in an investigation like this, including what the sailors on the uss gettysburg
11:26 pm
saw, what they thought was coming toward them, and why they fired. >> when you are in a zone like this where there is combat happening at one end of the red sea, and then there are other flight patterns that the folks on the uss gettysburg, the sailors on the uss gettysburg, have to deal with. it can be pretty easy to mistake targets from one to the other. in other words, is one a friendly target, or is one an adversarial or potential adversarial target? >> the apparent friendly fire incident happened the same day that the u.s. carried out airstrikes against houthi targets in yemen, hitting a command and control facility, as well as a missile storage facility. according to centcom, the u.s. also shot down one way attack drones and an anti-ship cruise missile. now, those strikes did involve the use of the same type of fighter jet, an f a 18. but two u.s. officials have told our team that the downed jet we've been
11:27 pm
discussing was not involved. in a statement on sunday. yemen's houthi rebels claimed they shot down the f, a 18 aircraft over the red sea. the houthis said their strikes were in response to american and british forces attacking their drones and missiles. this group has repeatedly made false claims of striking u.s. warships in the area. and again, the u.s. is calling this an apparent friendly fire incident. at the white house, julia benbrook, cnn. >> now, as you and i continue the latest on russia's response to a drone attack deep inside its territory

11:32 pm
renovation, as well as the prosecution of officials responsible for the disaster. >> at this moment, supporting these young people is the most important thing so that we older people can learn from their example and do all we can to make them feel that someone is with them and to bring back normality and a sense of shame to this country. >> the russian president, vladimir putin, is vowing to exact revenge on those responsible for a drone attack that took place deep inside russia's territory. multiple drones struck the city of kazan earlier on saturday. no casualties were reported. ukraine did not immediately take responsibility for the strike, but one ukrainian official noted that there's a gunpowder plant in the city, which russia uses to produce missiles. regardless, president putin is promising a strong response whoever, and however much they try to destroy in russia, they will face many times more destruction themselves and will regret what
11:33 pm
they are trying to do in our country. now, earlier, my colleague rosemary church spoke to the cnn contributor and former moscow bureau chief jill dougherty, where she asked jill what ukraine's purpose could have been for targeting the kazan. >> it could be a matter of targeting something. and the missile went off kilter. it's a little bit difficult to believe that they would directly try to hit a building. i think we'll have to wait for, you know, the investigation that will happen. but i think it's really significant because, you know, kazan is a big city. it's an important city economically, culturally, historically, every way. and if you notice that video, that was a very nice apartment building. so the significance here, if i would, you know, interpret it the way as you're looking at the way russia has been hit by attacks, that's hitting a middle class
11:34 pm
and maybe even upper middle class, um, you know. building strikes at people who are important in russia. and if they feel that the war is getting closer to them, it raises questions about president putin and whether he can actually protect them, you know, from the attacks of the ukrainians now ukraine is fighting off more waves of russian drones. >> more than 100 launched over the weekend. and ukraine now says it shot down around half of them. military officials say residential buildings and businesses were damaged. for its part, russia says it destroyed 42 ukrainian drones. all of this as ukraine is trying to fend off russian advances in the east. russia claims to have captured two villages, one in the kharkiv region and one in eastern donetsk. for many people, of course, holidays are all about traditions, and harry potter's annual christmas festivities at hogwarts is one of them. in a moment, we take a tour of the warner brothers studios in
