>> treacherous, treacherous driving conditions. >> with this scale of a storm, it's hard to really feel fully prepared with obviously as much snow and ice as we've been getting, members of congress will meet on capitol hill to officially certify the election of donald trump. >> it takes on added significance this year because of what happened four years ago. this is the first time i've ever won anything as an actor. >> i guess it's prosthetics from here on out. >> and we can still make art. >> that is a radical act of optimism for the young actors and creators in the world. please be yourself. believe in yourself and never give up. good luck. >> live from london. >> this is cnn newsroom with max foster and christina macfarlane. >> hello. warm welcome to our viewers joining us from the

u.s. and around the world. i'm max foster back with christina macfarlane. >> and it's monday, january the 6th, 9 a.m. here in london, 4 a.m. in washington, d.c., where one of many places just bracing for a powerful winter storm system sweeping across the u.s. the district's mayor has declared a snow emergency ahead of the storm, and all public schools there will be closed today. >> it's framed, doesn't it? kash patel in the snow. federal government offices will also be closed. the snowfall in the capital is expected to ramp up, peaking over the next few hours. the worsening conditions could hinder some major events this week, including the funeral for the former president, jimmy carter, in the central u.s. >> roads remain closed in much of kansas, where blizzard warnings have been in effect. interstate 70 is already covered in snow and ice in warren county, missouri, which is dealing with near whiteout conditions. >> lexington and louisville in kentucky, getting hit hard as well as the storm continues to move to the east, many remain under winter weather alerts

across the region. >> well, for more what's in store, let's bring in william churchill. he's a forecaster with the national weather service, joining us from college park, maryland, just outside washington, dc. so how are things looking? it's pretty treacherous. >> yeah, absolutely. this has been quite a winter storm already with widespread 12 to 18 inch totals from central kansas to the kansas city metro area of missouri. and that's the heaviest in decades. and travel, as you were saying, remains hazardous there. and we're really just getting going here in the dc region. so we've, you know, already picked up 2 to 3in of snow and we'll probably see 6 to 12in by the end of it. and possibly even higher amounts locally. >> how do you think this is going to affect the funeral? because obviously there will be movement. and in terms of that area, is that going to be particularly bad? >> well, hopefully, you know, the the shutdowns that you

mentioned will alleviate it a little bit. but yeah, certainly people are going to have to be much slower going around here. um, already there's, you know, issues on the roads in the area. so it's just a matter of if you don't need to travel, don't. and if you do need to travel, take it slow and cautiously. >> so how long are we expecting this storm system to remain in place? you know, how many more days weeks ahead have we got of this? >> well, with this system, it will really be coming to an end later tonight. in fact, um, it will be peaking this morning. um, but it looks like there could be another round. of. of of a bit lesser totals this evening into the d.c. area. and that's why we could rack up the totals that we're predicting, because just from this first round, we could be talking about 6 to 8in and then another few inches on top of that this evening. but by then it will be mostly wrapping up. and then we start to focus on the dangerously cold temperatures that come in behind this, especially across

the central plains and into the ohio valley, where temperatures can be as low as zero degrees fahrenheit. so and then looking beyond that, we're already seeing indications of the next, uh, winter storm system. that could also be a moderate to major winter storm beginning a little bit farther south into the southern plains. and that could affect texas more. we're seeing odds of the snow and ice increase there. so we're already looking ahead towards that. and that could begin as early as thursday morning into friday for those regions. >> okay. william churchill in maryland really appreciate that. it looks nice, but it does cause a lot of problems. >> but it's pretty bad. yeah. >> now the snow emergency in washington. definitely bad timing for the nation's capital. police already on heightened alert as congress is meeting just hours from now to certify the results of the 2024 election. house speaker mike johnson said no matter how hard it snows, the results will be certified today and that formality will mark a striking

political turnaround for donald trump, who was widely condemned for his actions on this day four years ago, when a mob of supporters stormed the capitol. >> vice president harris, who lost trump to trump in november, will fulfill her duties as president of the senate and preside over the counting of electoral votes from each state. >> all this happening as republican leaders in congress detail their plans for getting trump's agenda passed within his first 100 days in office. house speaker mike johnson saying congress will tackle border security, energy and tax cuts all in one bill. >> our steve contorno is in west palm beach near mar-a-lago, with the latest on how the republicans are planning for their return to the white house. >> members of congress will meet on capitol hill on monday to officially certify the election of donald trump. it's a typically mundane process, but it takes on added significance this year because of what happened four years ago when supporters of donald trump tried to halt the certification

of joe biden's electoral victory. the date also marks two weeks until donald trump is officially sworn in. during his inauguration, and republicans are already planning how to push through an aggressive agenda in his first 100 days. that includes sweeping tax cuts, border security enhancements and raising the debt limit. however, there is already some differences among republican leaders on how exactly that can be accomplished. >> i think at the end of the day, president trump is going to prefer, as he likes to say, one big, beautiful bill. and there's a lot of merit to that because we can put it all together. one big up or down vote, which can save the country quite literally, because there are so many elements to it, and it will give us a little bit more time to negotiate that and get it right. >> we have the same set of objectives. we want to get to the same destination, but i think at times there will be differences in how we get there and understanding the unique aspects of how the senate operates is something that i'm going to have to be able to share and convey to the

president and and help him understand, i think what the you know, what the contours are of what we can accomplish here in the senate and what's realistic. >> trump's transition team is already looking ahead to his inauguration, with a rally planned for the night before in washington, d.c., as trump tries to keep his supporters engaged and energized heading into his next term. steve contorno, cnn, west palm beach, florida. >> joining us, leslie vinjamuri, head of the u.s. and americas program at chatham house, royal institute of international affairs. i don't need to tell you that, but she joins us from here in london. what are you looking at, leslie? i mean, there's so much for you to look at. i know over the next month, but what is key for you? >> i think the first thing is, will this republican majority, slim as it is historically slim in the house? >> will it hold together? >> and friday's confirmation of speaker johnson was one indication of the divisions that exist within that party.

donald trump, you know, has come in with those majorities across the senate to the house and, of course, in the white house. and we know what the president elect wishes to accomplish, both domestically and in his foreign policy. but the nominees that he has announced and in his own party within congress, indicate that there are very marked divisions. so we are you know, i am going to look to see does that party hold together? and on the foreign policy side, which is really critical for those of us here in europe, in the uk, and certainly at chatham house, what will president trump once he after that january 20th inauguration, what will he do when it comes to the threat of tariffs on europe, linking that to questions of security and especially to the question of ukraine and russia? will he push hard for a deal? and what will that mean? does that mean

putting pressure on president putin? does it mean withdrawing support from zelenskyy or accelerating support in order to persuade russia's leader that he must come to the table? so everybody here in europe is really looking out for what will trump do on the economic policy side on that threat of tariffs and on the question of ukraine and russia couldn't be more vital. but in the u.s., i think the real question is, you know, the republican congress is saying that it will push forward with an omnibus bill to put all of the president's priorities in and get a vote the first week of april. that is extraordinarily ambitious and for any party, but especially for a party that seems already to be very deeply divided and and very much around the question of spending inflation. and, you know, this is a president elect whose broader policy agenda is inflationary

from deportations to tariffs to tax cuts. so these are, you know, critical, vital issues for the american public for the rest of the world. and and we are on tenterhooks. everybody is waiting to see which donald trump and which comes to the fore. >> yeah. and as you say, leslie, i mean, this is a president who has made so many promises before entering office on so many levels. one of those big promises, at least domestically, is that he has vowed to pardon the january 6th rioters on day one of his presidency. now we're talking about something like 1500, 1600 criminal convicts here. how will he go about this? i mean, presumably he will have the support from senate republicans for such a move. >> yes, i think he will. obviously, january 6th is something that is very deeply divisive. it's very fresh in the memory of most americans. we are now, you know, at the four year mark, it was a day that should have gone

unremarkable. i just thought as an afterthought to to go up and watch it on my own tv. we were all horrified. it was shocking, not something that we could have ever anticipated. and i think many americans will wish to see accountability, and others really think that it's been overblown and would like to move on. i think the pardons will go ahead. and, you know, pardons are not unusual. the bigger question is the broader process surrounding that, whether you also seek to erase the memory and the history that january 6th commission that we saw on our television screens has ensured, and the report has ensured that it will be in the history books. i think in the short term, there will be an attempt to rewrite history and to move on. but i think in the longer term it's there and it will be remembered by, you know, americans in many generations to come. >> it's going to be an interesting optic today, don't you think? or this week, rather, where we see kamala

harris. we haven't seen much of her since she lost the election. are we going to see her presiding over the counting of the electoral votes formally as a big sort of constitutional moment in the u.s., isn't it, but a big personal moment for her as well? >> a very significant personal moment. and you know what we've seen just in recent days, president biden, kamala harris, to a degree. but really, president biden, his national security team, his government really is shoring up their legacy. president biden is set to make, i think, two speeches, many jake sullivan is in india today. that's a, you know, policy trip. but there's also there are also a number of efforts that are being undertaken in these last two weeks until the inauguration of president trump to really put a stamp on biden, harris and their legacy. the presidential medal of freedom. those were, of course, awarded in recent days, including to liz cheney, who led who co-led that

commission on january 6th. george soros, many others, hillary clinton and and we've seen on twitter, elon musk and others really criticizing those announcements. so that legacy is one that is partisan in the short term. the the incoming trump administration is is really not letting go of their antipathy towards president biden and his team. and again, president biden is seeking really in a last minute effort to really shore up and tell the world and especially to tell americans what he's accomplished, what he has aimed to do, and what he wishes to see for the u.s. going forward. and i would also note, of course, this is an extraordinary day. but just tomorrow, america is going to turn the page and really look back at president carter as he as he will be in washington,

his body, his remains to be honored. and to that funeral in the days ahead. >> and as we heard, president biden as well speaking urging people not to forget what happened on this day four years ago, when we take a step back and look at the symbolism of this moment. i mean, after the storming of the capitol four years ago, many thought that donald trump's political career was done. and yet here we are, obviously with a complete turnaround of fortunes for him. why is it that american memories are so short? you know, when we think about the time frame of this and where we have arrived on january 6th, once again? >> you know, look, this is a very complicated question. people are very aware of what happened, but they don't all attribute the blame to to president trump. many people think that the rioters, many of the rioters, did not use violence. those who did, they don't all believe that it was

directed by president trump. but i think, um, in many ways, you know, americans are very pragmatic. they're very forward looking, they're very driven and determined to get ahead and move. and when it came to voting, we know that people made their decisions for a deep variety of reasons. and part of it was, you know, it was a very slim majority. we you know, we point to the fact that that president trump has these majorities in the house and the senate and the white house, that there are slim majorities, that the the overall outcome was very much less than it appeared on that first night. but americans who voted for donald trump voted for very different reasons. and we know that there's a there's a group of those who supported donald trump, probably despite what happened on january 6th, because they think he's the better leader for the u.s. economy, for delivering a deregulated, uh, return to neo tax cuts and really charging the u.s.

economy. and they didn't like what president biden was trying to do with biden. nomics and others are just deeply committed to to president trump, the maga wing of the party, and others just vote republican because that's what they and their families have done forever. and then, of course, there were many people who simply didn't want kamala harris. so it's a complicated picture. i don't think that, you know, none of the polling suggests that the january 6th ranked at the top of people on people's reasons for voting on either side of the ledger. it was really, you know, about complex factors. obviously inflation, obviously the economy, but who they identified with as a leader. and americans were very divided. it's a divided country. the legacy of january 6th is a legacy which for people carry very different interpretations. it was a dangerous, sad, traumatic, deeply disturbing day for so many of us, something that we never could have imagined seeing the good news of the story of that day was that the

legislators, that joint session of congress, everybody returned. they voted, they certified the outcome of the u.s. election as they were mandated to do. and we after an extraordinarily disruptive assault on the u.s. capitol, we saw a smooth transition to president biden. um, so again, people move on. they look forward. it's not a it's not a country that spends a lot of time looking backwards. it's a it's a hard charging forward, looking, deeply pragmatic country. >> it is it is a complex picture, as you say, and a complicated day with many, many mixed emotions. we appreciate you trying to break it down for us, lesley. thank you. >> now in south korea, the country's anti-corruption agency plans to seek an extension of the arrest warrant for impeached president yoon suk yeol, set to expire at midnight local time today. >> yoon is accused of abuse of power and leading an insurrection over his brief, botched attempt to impose

martial law last month, the country's corruption investigation office is now delegating the execution of the warrant to the police, who are said to be reviewing the request. >> video from seoul shows barbed wire along some areas of the presidential compound, and entrances have also been blocked by vehicles. police and protesters, both in support of and against yoon, have gathered near his official residence in seoul. investigators tried to arrest him on friday, but were prevented by yoon's security detail. it's baffling really. we tried to get some explanation earlier and the feeling is that the system is working, but no one seems to really want to bite the bullet and go ahead with that a warrant. >> i mean, what day is it now after five days after the initial arrest warrant went out, so they'll have to extend it again, won't they, in order to to try again? well, in the meantime, america's top diplomat is reiterating u.s. support for south korea's democracy as the country grapples with its ongoing political crisis. >> during his visit to seoul, secretary of state antony blinken sat down with south korea's acting president and

reaffirmed u.s. confidence in the enduring strength of the u.s. and south korean alliance. >> blinken is actually the first high level u.s. official to visit the country since the political turmoil began last month. >> we we had serious concerns about some of the actions that president yoon took. we communicated those directly to the government at the same time, we have tremendous confidence in the resilience of south korea's democracy and the strength of its institutions, and in the efforts that it's making to work through those institutions pursuant to the constitution and the rule of law, to resolve differences and to do so peacefully. >> well, still to come, joe biden will visit new orleans days after the terrorist attack on bourbon street. >> and there's a sign of possible progress in the indirect talks between israel and hamas. ahead, how it could lead to more hostages being released. >> also ahead, liverpool and manchester united take to the pitch despite heavy snowfall blanketing the stadium. we'll

be. >> with god. over the weekend, the carter family's hometown church in plains, georgia, held its first sunday service since his death. president carter's niece led the sunday school session, a responsibility that the former president carried out for decades. in the coming hours, u.s. president joe biden is expected to attend a vigil in new orleans for the 14 people killed in the new year's day terror attack. >> officials have now released a timeline detailing the events leading up to the attack, and shedding light on the extensive planning involved. cnn's rafael romo reports. >> a crucial question that has surfaced here in new orleans after the new year's day terrorist attack is how long in advance did the attacker know what he was going to do, what he was planning to do? and we have gotten information from the fbi saying that perhaps it was weeks, if not years, before he knew that he was going to do

that. and that's because we now know that he came to new orleans at least twice in the months preceding the attack, once in october, where he was here for several days. at one point, he was riding a bicycle and recording video here in the streets around the french quarter. and then he returned in november. and we have also learned that he traveled internationally, according to the fbi. jabbar went to cairo, egypt, in the summer of 2023, and a few days later he also traveled to ontario, canada. i asked the special agent in charge of the fbi here in new orleans whether they know at this point, if the attacker was financed by a terrorist organization, and this is what he had to say. >> at this time, we're still trying to determine the answers to that. that is exactly what our priority is for those international trips. essentially, we're looking at who has he encountered during those trips, who is he meeting with, or has he traveled while

in those specific countries? and whether or not any visits to those countries may or may not have any indication as to the reasons behind this attack in our city. >> all 14 fatal victims have now been identified. louisiana governor jeff landry earlier said that the final victim identified was latasha polk, a certified nursing assistant and a mother of a 14 year old. rafael ramos, cnn, new orleans, louisiana. >> ukraine's president, hoping to win the support of donald trump. ahead, what vladimir zelenskyy has to say about the next u.s. president.

>> i'm hanako montgomery in tokyo, and this is cnn. >> welcome back to cnn newsroom. here are some of the top stories we're following today. more than 55 million americans are under winter storm alerts across the u.s., with a powerful weather system dumping a dangerous mix of snow and ice throughout the midwest and mid-atlantic regions. hundreds of flights have already been canceled in and out of the washington, dc metropolitan airports. but despite the severe weather winter expected today in washington, house speaker mike johnson's office says congress will meet to certify the results of the 2024 election. you'll remember that it was on this day, four years ago that a violent mob stormed the capitol in an effort to overturn the 2020 election results. and finally, the new england patriots have fired head coach jerod mayo after just one season. the patriots beat the buffalo bills on sunday, but finished with a dismal 413

record overall this season. mayo had taken over from legendary patriots coach bill belichick. >> more than 55 million americans are under winter storm alerts across the u.s., with a powerful weather system moving eastwards over the ohio river valley and mid-atlantic regions. blizzard conditions throughout kansas and missouri have left tens of thousands of people without power, and local authorities are working to clear the highways that have been closed. a dangerous mix of snow and sleet is falling over parts of kentucky, illinois and indiana. roads in the region are covered in thick layers of ice, causing numerous accidents over the weekend. >> governor beshear saying stay off the roads. >> of course, the mayor here in louisville saying, if you do not need to drive, do not drive. >> emergency management crews and only necessary workers on the roads. >> after picking up a little over a half a foot of snow and a lot of areas, we're now seeing the transition into sleet and freezing rain. we actually just heard a little bit of thunder sleet in our

area. i want to go ahead and take a look at one of the vehicles that's near us. you can see the problem with some of that freezing rain. obviously, freezing over this car already within the past 30 minutes or so, we've watched this windshield freeze over. so definitely some concerns. we're worried about power outages. you know, it only takes about a quarter of an inch of ice to cause a heavy weight on those power lines. and once you add in winds, the snow and then the wraparound snow, we're expected to get on monday could cause some real power problems for a lot of the state. >> well, the mayor of washington, dc has declared a snow emergency preparing for as much as 16in or 40cm of snow. the weather there could impact several major events this week, including the certification of the presidential election and the funeral services for former president jimmy carter. >> well, winter weather is also impacting parts of europe. much of the uk and germany have been blanketed under heavy snowfall, disrupting travel and causing power outages across the region. >> it may look pretty from above, but heavy snow covering parts of europe over the

weekend caused widespread disruption to travelers on roads, railways and in the air. snow and freezing rain cut power to tens of thousands of homes in northern england, and the uk met office warned that sleet and snow could lead to flooding in some areas. when the icy mixture thaws. airports in liverpool, manchester, birmingham, leeds and bristol were forced to close some runways temporarily and several roads were impacted with conditions slicker than usual. at a time when many people were traveling. returning from christmas break or heading back to university. much of the same problem in ireland, parts of which were also coated in snow. the irish weather service says that bitter cold conditions will continue over the next few days, at a time when nearly 60,000 homes, farms and

businesses were without power. german officials warned of black ice for drivers and pedestrians as the snow and ice snarls. transportation here to frankfurt and munich airports warned passengers of potential delays or cancellations, and some authorities are advising people to stay at home if possible. yeah, we had a bit of snow, but interesting that the football is still on, despite the fact that the football is always on everywhere. >> i know it's just the uk transport system that really seems to struggle with any degree of difference. >> a bit of snow and rain by now at this point in our history, extreme heat, but sadly not. >> now. ukrainian forces are refusing to give up on russia's kursk region after months of holding their ground. ukrainian officials say they're launching surprise counterattacks against russian fighters who are trying to reclaim the territory. >> russia's defense ministry

says it's repelling those attacks. but ukrainian military officials say, quote, russia is getting what it deserves. >> meanwhile, russia's military says it's making advances in ukraine's donetsk region. a russian a russian military blog claims that fighters have raised a flag near the key ukrainian transit hub. >> ukraine's president, trying to pave the way for a good relationship with the incoming u.s. president, volodymyr zelenskyy, praised donald trump during a conversation with an american podcaster. >> when i talk about something with donald trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call, all the european leaders always ask, how was it? this shows the influence of donald trump, and this has never happened before with an american president. i tell you from my experience, this also gives you confidence. you know, that he can stop this war. that is why we in trump come first and europe will support ukraine's position because they

understand that ukraine has every right to have its voice heard in this, because we are at war. trump and i will come to an agreement. and then if and i am sure that he can offer strong security guarantees together with europe, and then we can talk to the russians. >> but mr. zelenskyy insists that neither he nor anyone in ukraine would accept an unjust compromise with russian president vladimir putin. now, there may be some progress in the gaza ceasefire and hostage release talks. reuters is reporting that a hamas official says the group have approved an israeli list of 34 hostages to be exchanged for palestinian prisoners and detainees, but the israeli government denies receiving a list of hostages from hamas, according to the reuters report. >> the exchange is contingent on reaching an agreement for israel's withdrawal from gaza

and a permanent ceasefire. white house middle east adviser brett mcgurk is amongst the officials in the latest round of indirect talks in doha, and sources say israeli minister ron dermer is expected to travel to washington this week to meet with the biden administration and trump transition officials. >> meanwhile, ceasefire and hostage release negotiations are underway. israel is ramping up attacks in gaza. gaza's civil defense says four israeli strikes on a residential building in northern gaza killed 12 members of the same family on sunday. >> one member of the family says a child was found alive in the rubble, but 11 other people are still missing. >> ashley, ashley we pulled out flesh and remains and there are still more trapped under the rubble. >> these are people who have no ties to resistance fighters or anything. we are here on the border of the conflict area, but now it is considered a red zone. they attack us every day now with missiles and bombs dropped by drones. among the people. everyone is at risk of

being bombed at any moment gaza's health ministry is reporting that 88 palestinians were killed on sunday alone, bringing the total death toll to nearly 46,000 since october 2023. >> meanwhile, health officials in gaza say another palestinian baby has died from hypothermia, low temperatures and a lack of access to warm shelters are being blamed for the deaths of at least now, six babies there in recent weeks. >> miserable isn't it? now, after the capitol riot four years ago, many commentators thought donald trump had no future left in politics. we'll do a deep dive into his approval ratings and how he defied those expectations. >> plus, a new law has just made it more expensive to visit new york city by car. but city officials believe that's a good thing. we'll tell you why i lay on my back, frozen, thinking the darkest thoughts, and then everything changed, dana said.

tissue donor. go to organ donor. governor. >> welcome back. we are just hours away from the u.s. congress meeting to certify donald trump's election win. four years to the day after the attack on the capitol. >> trump's poll ratings sank in the aftermath of that shameful episode. but over the past four years, they've made a remarkable recovery. cnn's harry enten and manu raju break down the numbers for you.

>> remember, after january 6th, what do we have? we had the impeachment of donald trump. and then, of course, we had the trial in the united states senate. i want you to take a look at republicans who voted to impeach or convict trump in his second impeachment or impeachment trial. you know, you go back to january or february of 2021. what was it? it was 17. you know, that's a significant chunk of folks, right? manu chao it wasn't it wasn't. most of the gop didn't. but 17 is a pretty big number here. >> absolutely. >> and then you go to january of 2025. how many of those folks are still in the united states congress? it's just five. it's just five. pretty much the ones who did were all run out of town. there are just two house members, three senate members who remain. the bottom line is this. and we'll say it over and over and over again. this is donald trump's republican party. that's why he could pick up the phone, make those calls to ensure that mike johnson held on to his speakership. but it's not just within the republican party. it's nationally among the general populace as well. so take a look at donald trump's

net favorable rating. take a look here. trump's net favorability rating. you go back to january of 2021. donald trump was way underwater, way underwater, -20 points. that's your favorable minus your unfavorable look. he's still a little bit underwater, but he's now at minus one point he's considerably more popular. so folks who are writing off donald trump's political career, writing his political obituary, he rose up from the grave. he almost looks like one of those wwe characters, right, who kind of rose up. and that is what donald trump has did. he's right now broke even. he's about as popular with the american public manu chao than he has ever been. >> wow. and he's been talking about it on the first day when he comes into office pardoning all these january 6th prisoners. how does that fare with the american public's view? >> how does that fare? well, i will tell you, it ain't popular. it ain't popular. donald trump may be more popular than he's ever been, but the idea of him pardoning these january 6th protesters is, simply put, not a popular proposition. you look, overall, it's 33%. it's 33%. look at

the opposition. 59% of the american public. you can barely get 59% of the american public to agree on anything. but they do agree on opposing trump pardoning the january 6th protesters, even among the republican party. look at this number. yes, it's two thirds who support it at 67%. but, you know, donald trump's favorable rating within the republican party is like 85, 90% low for trump. this is low for trump. you have this 21% who are opposed to it. that is a pretty significant chunk of folks who are opposed to it. so, yes, republicans like donald trump, but they aren't necessarily in love with the idea of pardoning. certainly not overall. now, you may be asking yourself, okay, how the heck, then did donald trump win that election back in november? right? given that you see this support and you see this opposition among the american public and most americans, i will note in our cnn poll said that they expected that trump was going to try and pardon. how did it work then? well, take a look at january 6th memories. take a look here. all right. january 6th is the biggest memory of trump's first term. look at

this. >> wow. it's just fine. that is that is something. it's just 5%. >> i mean, most folks, simply put, were willing to dismiss it without much of an issue. and among republicans, what do we see? it was just 2%. so even though you had that significant chunk of republicans who said we oppose it, even though the vast majority of americans opposed it, the bottom line when it came to november, even when it comes now, most americans simply put, manu chao are not thinking about it. >> a new documentary about melania trump due out later this year. there's no title right now. few details, but the incoming u.s. first lady will serve as an executive producer pretty much means she'll have all the editorial control. of course. >> the documentary began filming in december and is slated for a theatrical release, as well as streaming on amazon prime video. this follows the release of melania trump's autobiography in october, which remains a bestseller on amazon and hit number one on the new york times bestseller list, which she only began filming in december, a month ago or a year

ago. anyway, sorry, just something i saw and i wondered, uh. meanwhile, president joe biden signed the social security fairness act into law on sunday. the bipartisan bill was passed by congress in december and will increase benefits for almost 3 million federal, state and local workers. the reform eliminates political policies that reduce social security payouts for retirees who receive pensions from state or local governments. >> critics say the change will only hasten the day when social security trust fund will be unable to pay full benefits. but president biden says it's all about fairness. >> the bill i'm signing today is about a simple proposition americans who have worked hard all their lives to earn an honest living should be able to retire with economic security and dignity. that's the entire purpose of the social security system crafted by franklin delano roosevelt nearly 90 years ago, social

security is the bedrock of financial security for retirees and survivors, and for millions of americans with disabilities. >> now being stuck in new york city's notoriously bad traffic now comes with an extra cost $9 a day, to be exact. it's a new congestion pricing scheme that was meant to reduce traffic, as we've had in london for a few years. >> manhattan's streets are often crippled by gridlock. officials hope the congestion pricing will keep fewer drivers on the roads at the worst time of day. they also hope to raise millions of dollars to improve public transportation. >> well, other cities around the world, as we were saying, have already implemented congestion pricing, including here in london. but this is the first such law in the entire united states. >> it probably did make a difference to begin with, but then you seem to get more traffic sort of coming in off the back of it. >> i think it's allowed for bikes to flourish in london, which has been a very good thing. and actually speaking to a new yorker recently about this, that was his hope too, is that it would enable e-bikes and other types of bikes to become too dangerous at the moment, cycle around new york. >> so let's see. but the

problem with it as a driver, i'd say, is remembering i don't live in london. it's easy to forget. and then you get stung. so it's quite kind of you can't really work out where it starts and ends, but you know, but then don't drive in london. >> that's what they want, isn't it? >> yeah. sometimes you, some people have to be fair, a few surprises at the golden globes. we'll find out who won big who was disappointed. >> this is the story of the one who doesn't just see a broken doc. >> he sees lost revenue. a late night and work stalled to a halt. thankfully, he has the experience to handle whatever comes his way and has granger on his side, offering access to technical product specialists and the scale to deliver fast so he can keep his business in gear and always moving forward. call granger comm or just stop by granger for the ones who get it done do you have a life

insurance policy you no longer need? >> now you can sell your policy, even a term policy for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. >> we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement, but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friends sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. >> i'm skeptical. so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance as a valuable asset that can be sold. >> we learned we could sell all of our policy or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? >> we sold our policy? >> now we

tonight and challengers. girl. oh my god, it was so good. i mean, that movie was more sexually charged than daddy's credit card. i mean, seriously. >> ralph, the 82nd golden globe awards, hosted by the first solo female host, comedian nikki glaser. absolutely. she nailed it as well, apparently. >> yeah. big winner of the night, though, was emilia perez winning best motion picture musical or comedy, best supporting actress, best foreign language film and best original song. demi moore. demi moore also won best female actor in a film, music or comedy for her performance in the substance at last. >> in those moments when we don't think we're smart enough or pretty enough, or skinny enough or successful enough, or basically just not enough, i had a woman say to me, just know you will never be enough, but you

can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick. >> you know, max, it was such a great speech, but clearly she has been waiting her whole career to give it to me. >> i'm such a fan. she's like a cultural icon. i mean, if you go out on its own, you've mentioned this. but, you know, maybe the critics didn't like it, but it was it had a profound effect on a lot of people. it really did. >> it still does. um, but it's crazy. they haven't honored her in some way, i suppose. >> i guess it gives, you know, we're talking about it now. she deserves it. um, last hour i spoke with television presenter andrew freund about the big winner that is amelia perez and what films he felt were snubbed. >> i would say amelia perez was definitely the big film winner with four awards. i would also say that, you know, the brutalist won the drama award. and on the tv side, shogun won four awards. shogun, also hugely popular show people are obsessed with that.

so there were definitely, you know, some huge, huge winners. but, you know, there were also some snubs too. >> yeah, take us through them. >> so, you know, the biggest snub i think is wicked. you know, you can't move anywhere around the world without seeing something about wicked. and it only won one award in the ceremony. the cinematic achievement award. so to me that was kind of the biggest snub. another snub was the film honora. honora is getting a lot of buzz around, a lot of circles, and it got zero awards. nothing, nada. >> yeah. in terms this is often the issue, isn't it? with all these award ceremonies that, you know, there's a committee that decides who wins and it's often seen to be out of touch because you'll have a blockbuster, which is by definition a successful film and a good film. whether or not the critics like it. um, how much of a debate is that in hollywood at the moment? >> you know, i think it is a little bit of a debate. i will

say the golden globes is made up of 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries around the world. so it's a very international voting, uh, membership, which is why i'm not shocked that amelia perez did so well, because it's a very international film. french director, french songwriter, set in mexico. so it just, you know, when we come to the oscars, the nominations are coming out in the 17th. it's a whole different ballgame, a whole different voting membership. so, you know, time will, i guess, tell. >> i think many will be shocked by the fact that wicked didn't win anything. right? >> nothing last night. i just don't understand how a film can be everywhere. everyone watches it and it doesn't win an award. >> but anyway. anyway, in northeastern china, the city of harbin is hosting an annual spectacle of ice and snow with average temperatures well below freezing. the festival, which runs from december to february, draws visitors from around the world. >> in addition to the brightly lit ice and snow sculptures, there are nightly fireworks

displays. other events, including a snow dog carnival. no, is that right? snow carnival and dog sledding. whatever. what a great. >> it's a great idea. >> it's all well lit. according to the organizers, this year's event is the largest in history, and it incorporates elements from the ninth asian winter games, which will be held in harbin next month. >> oh very nice. and to spain now, where the streets of madrid came alive for the annual three kings parade. thousands of spectators gathered to watch the kings make their way along the parade route, amid the costumes of lights with giant, colorful frogs, and highlighted the event. >> can you explain that? >> i have no idea. >> the celebration does mark the end of christmas. on the eve of epiphany frog day. let's call it that. >> frog day. what a great day. thank you for joining us here on cnn newsroom. i'm christina macfarlane. >> i'm max foster. >> kobe was global. people felt his presence. >> kobe. the making of a legend. premieres january 25th on cnn. ready to party?
