7:04 am
this morning. this morning, global condemnation of putin's deadly aerial assault on ukraine, the biggest attack since the war began. [ speaking in non-english ] president zelenskyy on the streets of kyiv today after the attacks calling the tactic terroristic and saying they want to instill more fear and affect more people. they did. now this morning president zelenskyy meeting virtually with president biden and the g7 to discuss support for ukraine and holding putin accountable. the lethal russian air strikes targeting at least ten cities in coordinated attacks across the country. a barrage of 84 missiles and 24 drones slamming into cities across ukraine in three waves. dozens of moments like this, a missile flying through the air striking a power station in lviv captured on a dash cam video and posted online. hitting multiple civilian targets during morning rush hour like in this video circulating online showing a massive

significance for the kremlin. but amidst the devastation brought by putin people heading underground into subway stations that have become makeshift bomb shelters. there a moment of unity and resistance among strangers singing the ukrainian national anthem. [ singing in non-english ] >> reporter: president zelenskyy's expected to press president biden and other g7 leaders for air defense systems. the white house indicating it's something the president is ready to offer unsurprisingly as they push forward on the land here in the east. they want to know they can protect their civilians back at home in the towns and cities across ukraine. robin? >> all right, ian, thank you so much. as the war escalates in ukraine a new related threat at home. cyberattacks from russian hackers targeting american airports. pierre thomas is tracking the story. good morning, pierre.
7:07 am
>> reporter: george, good morning. the question is whether this was a warning shot. at least 12 airports in the u.s. and worldwide were impacted including some of the nation's busiest from chicago o'hare to laguardia in new york to others in atlanta, phoenix and denver. the attack on denver continued overnight. the good news is that the hacks, which some officials believe were launched by a russian group, did not affect airport operations at all but instead targeted websites serving those airports. for example, if you were trying to use airport websites to see if parking was available, you might have had difficulty in some cases getting that information. these so-called denial of service attacks basically involved websites being overwhelmed by traffic. while this did not impact airport operations the question everyone has this morning is whether this attack was a precursor of something worse to come. there is no evidence that this was ordered by the kremlin, but some congressional leaders are concerned it was in response to ukraine's recent gains against russia and that dramatic attack on the bridge in crimea. fbi and homeland security officials are investigating, george. >> okay, pierre, thanks very much.
7:08 am
let's get more on this from the top spokesman for the national security council john kirby. john, welcome back. what do you make of the cyberattacks and are you confident russia is behind them? >> too soon to know, george. we're investigating this and looking at this. obviously it's of concern. certainly we're grateful that no airport operations were affected. no safety was put at risk but we're looking into this and we'll take that seriously. >> and do you believe they're a precursor to follow-on attacks as pierre suggested? >> it's just too soon to know. we don't really understand fully who is behind this, what the motivation was, certainly at what level, if any, kremlin officials were aware. we just don't know. we'll investigate this and try to get to the bottom of it and obviously we tyke cyberresilience very seriously regardless of what happened at these airports. we're constantly looking to
7:09 am
improve our own defenses for our own civilian infrastructure throughout the country. >> we know who is behind the attacks on civilians in ukraine. putin boasting about it two nights in a row. can these attacks turn the military tide? >> it doesn't appear they'll do that. we don't know what the next steps are for putin but you can see from the reaction of the ukrainian people over the course of the weekend, they're not backing down. they're not slowing down. they're going to continue to conduct their counteroffensive and are still active on the battlefield. as you saw from president biden's discussion with president zelenskyy the united states is going to stand with them and continue to provide security assistance. >> the question is what does that mean exactly? we know the president is meeting with g7 leaders today. defenses. zelenskyy wants air - what more is he going to get? >> we have been providing air defense capability from almost the beginning of this conflict, george. everything from stingers to now these national advance surface-to-air missile systems which are on order for ukraine. we're going to continue to talk to them as we have been every day about their capabilities. clearly air defense is a need and we'll work with them on that going forward. i don't have any announcements today but can tell you we'll stay committed to giving them the kind of tools we know they need on the battlefield. clearly after this weekend, air defense capabilities continue to
7:10 am
be a significant need for ukraine. >> how about longer range attack missiles. >> sorry? >> how about longer range attack missiles? >> we're not closing any doors, george. again, we continue to talk to them every day. in fact, there will be a meeting this week in brussels, the secretary of defense is having another ukraine contact group meeting with probably 50 nations there to talk about the needs and we'll look at the whole spectrum. i just don't have anything to announce. >> president biden talked about off-ramps for president putin. is the only off-ramp for russia to leave ukraine? >> that is the best off-ramp and that's what frankly mr. putin should be doing. he should be ending this war. he chose to start it. he could choose to end it. you saw in the president's statement, we believe mr. putin should remove all his troops from ukraine. short of that -- and clearly he has shown no indication of being willing to do that or even sit down at the negotiating table. short of that, we have to make sure ukraine can continue to succeed on the battlefield so when it gets to the negotiating
7:11 am
table mr. zelenskyy has leverage he needs to succeed in negotiations as well. >> john kirby, thanks very much. michael? >> thank you, george. now to the mounting anti-government protests in iran. now reaching the critical oil industry. workers walking off the job to join the demonstrations as new sanctions hit iran. our foreign correspondent james longman is following developments. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it's oil more than anything else that keeps the iranian economy going. but now oil and gas workers in some of the industrial parts of the country have joined the protests. they've been raging now for nearly a month. this morning, protests in iran are now hitting a critical sector of the country's economy. [ crowd chanting ] some oil workers now on strike. they can be seen here gathering outside refineries on the persian gulf. it's been nearly a month of protests and they seem only to be intensifying. gunshots and explosions could be
7:12 am
heard early monday in a hot spot for the protests. rows of businesses shuttered as shopkeepers go on strike. all this was first triggered by the death of 22-year-old mahsa amini. she died in police custody accused of wearing her hijab improperly. but it's morphed into a wider fight for freedom, although it's come at a cost. according to iran human rights, 185 citizens have been killed so far. they include more young women. like nika shakarami seen burning her headscarf. her mother confirmed to the bbc this is her 16-year-old daughter. her family saying iranian authorities kept nika's death a secret for nine days. all this has prompted new sanctions. the uk joined the u.s. in sanctioning the morality police. masa died in their custody and the u.s. treasury department is trying to lift sanctions on tech companies to allow ordinary iranians better access to the internet but that's proving really challenging. robin? >> it really is. james, thank you.
7:13 am
now to the midterm elections just 28 days away with control of congress up for grabs and many eyes on georgia as those abortion allegations are rocking herschel walker's campaign. congressional correspondent rachel scott is here tracking that race for us. good morning, rachel. >> hey, robin. good morning, this race could decide which party controls the senate and that's exactly why republicans are going all in for herschel walker. today florida senator rick scott who is the head of the republican senate campaign arm and senator tom cotton will travel to georgia to show their support for walker. scott saying republicans are proud to stand with him. the former college football star has been battered by a series of scandals including allegations that he paid for a woman's abortion despite opposing abortion rights without any exceptions. democratic incumbent raphael warnock making it clear he supports abortion rights in the final stretch, robin. >> as you know, that's not the only key senate race. there was a tense debate for the open senate seat in ohio. >> this was the first between
7:14 am
democratic candidate tim ryan and republican candidate j.d. vance, and it was contentious. the two candidates clashing over abortion rights and crime. at one point vance said ryan supported policies that led to a 10-year-old girl in ohio being sexually assaulted. ryan keeping his distance from democratic leadership saying he does not believe president biden should run for re-election calling for a new generation of leadership, robin. >> rachel scott, thanks so much. george? there are new fears of a freight railroad strike after one of the biggest unions rejected a deal last night. a strike could cause major economic consequences. terry moran is in washington with the latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. the workers poken, eyave rejeedhe d brokered by the biden administration just last month and announced by the president himself in a rose garden ceremony. 57% of the workers in the nation's third largest freight rail union, the brotherhood of maintenance of way employees division of the teamsters, said no to biden's deal. the president of that union declaring in a statement railroaders do not feel valued.
7:15 am
the workers are demanding better working conditions, in particular, they want an end to what they call draconian sick leave and attendance policies which they say often force them to choose between taking care of themselves or their loved ones or risk losing their jobs. now, two more big union, the engineers and conductors are set to vote on this deal but there's already been a november 19th deadline set for a new deal and this morning, the white house is out with a statement saying in part, the president remains focused on avoiding a shutdown and, quote, pledging to support the parties in their efforts. the stakes here are so high. if those efforts fail, the nation could see its first major rail strike in 30 years right in the middle of the holiday season dealing a devastating blow to the supply chain and to the economy as a whole. michael? >> terry, that would be really devastating. thank you for that. now, we turn to the fierce
7:16 am
retail battle as shoppers may be planning to spend less this holiday season. amazon prime's early access sale is under way right now while other retailers are stepping up their game. chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with more. good morning, rebecca. >> good morning, michael. and some analysts are calling this the new black friday with consumers under pressure from inflation. jpmorgan's ceo jamie dimon predicting we will see a recession in the next six to nine months. companies like amazon are racing to get their best holiday deals in front of you fast and first. the retail giant kicking off its prime early access sale this morning with some of the deepest discounts more than half off on its own select devices like the echo. but unlike the sales this summer there's also sizable discounts on electronics, home appliances, toys. we did some digging and found sony and bose ear buds and speakers half off. hasbro toys up to 50%. barbie up to 40% off and my favorite, legos up to 30% off.

8:18 am
started, you want to go into the area where you have the most tension, for me it's the gluteus maximus. so you can start by sitting on this and have as many points of contact and keep yourself stable and roll where it hurts, right, so you can feel. i can feet the knots going. >> how would you explain the feeling to people at home? >> you're looking for a tension point or a physical knot and the rule of thumb is, you can go for about 30 seconds and then you can sit and hang out where there's one of those knots, right? so let's say i've got one in my clf. it's good on the calves. i ight take as much weight i can off my hands or foot and push down on that spot and then roll it out. >> it can be a little uncomfortable but at the end of the day it's worth it. >> right. there's a sweet spot here. you don't want it to be too painful and you can be overly aggressive. so want to be careful but like you get into the spine and you
8:19 am
can feel the joint mobility opening up, ah. feels so good. >> i'm jealous i didn't get to do this demo because i know how great this feel. >> it does. oh, man. >> let's talk about the gear. the foam roller itself. you have the long one. then we have the short foam roller. then you have the ones with bumps on them. >> yeah, there's all kinds of stuff. start with the long one, one, it's more stable and, two, you have a little more ability to go up and down, not just across. so if you do this -- >> one of my favorites. >> the snow angel, right. supports your head, your bum and you can open up those hunched computer shoulders and really get some of that mobility back. that is a nice one. the short ones are good for traveling. tracee ellis ross was just telling me she loves this. she puts it in her suitcase. this one with the bumpy points is nice because it'll kind of give you more of those trigger point like pulse. >> hit the fine point. >> but this one is particularly special because it's a vibrating one and so you can go on this
8:20 am
and then, ah. it feels so good. oh, man. it really does feel like a massage. >> it does, yeah. >> what's the body part you do most? >> my gluteus to the maximus and my i.t. band and my calf. >> the i.t. band is the one everyone wants to do. be careful there. you can be too aggressive here. >> you got to take it easy. becky, thank you so much. i'm jealous of your demonstration. now we go to ginger. hey, ginger. >> thanks, michael. the i.t. band, that's the torture one, i'm telling you. let me take you up to northern idaho and washington state where we still have dozens of large uncontained wildfires driving here in the fire in washington. they do have level one and two evacuations in place and there's a lot of smoke. that smoke is going to get pushed from these fires down south. so you may actually seor smell smoke in any of the areas highlighted in blue. even denver could see some of that haze in the sky but with

8:24 am
black women and so often that identity is decontextualized in our world and also told through struggle and hardship. but there's so much joy and so much beauty and this is a six-part series that really explores and just delves into the beautiful world of black women. >> let's give everybody a little bit of a look. your conversation with issa rae. >> i think being able to be versatile has been a survival tool for us. >> absolutely. >> particularly with our hair. >> so often we're placed in a box. i think so often people place their expectations upon us depending on how our hair is styled. >> my gosh. i can only imagine after t to all these women like issa rae. did you come away with a realization? >> you know, i think the biggest thing i came away with was comfort, a sense of belonging in such a large community that -- you know, one thing we do is talk to scholars and academics that also sort of create some context around a lot of these
8:25 am
stories and experiences and i really discovered that there are a lot of the same places that i'm wounded, the same places that have caused shame from our culture was identifiable. a lot of us have scissor stories. >> scissor stories? >> moments when you did the cut in some way. as a child i wanted bangs so i cut bangs but i didn't think they worked. so i cut them off then i came down to the dinner table and my mom was like what happened. i don't know. she was like, something happened. i was like, i don't know. wasn't me.
