we continue to follow news of former cuba dictator fidel castro's death. reactions around the world are mixed this morning... patrick oppman is in cuba where the country has entered a nine-day mourning period that will end with fidel's funeral. ic: "after decades of attempts..." oc: "patrick oppmann, reporting from cuba."

reporting russian president vladamir putin called castro a "symbol of an era" and a "true and loyal friend to russia." in national news this morning... president-elect donald trump announced two more additions to his staff. he has named former republican administration official k-t mcfarland... as his deputy national security advisor... and don mcgahn as his white house counsel.

accused russia of interfering with the presidential election back in november. a key position still available is secretary of state. among the names being thrown around... are retired general david petraeus... mitt romney... and rudy giuliani. and talk of possible russian interference in our presidential election... is still a hot topic. fox's catherine herridge has the latest. since the cold war, russian intelligence has understood the power of information warfare. technological advances in the last five years, including the explosion of in social media outlets, have created new opportunities for moscow to aggressively push its propaganda, and deflect criticism aimed at russian policies. after the european union voted wednesday to counter moscow's disinformation campaigns, president vladimir putin accused the europeans them of censoring dissenting views. putin through translator "if this is all true, what you've just said and if such a decision is

witnessing a certain, in fact an absolutely obvious degradation, from a political point of view, of the perception of democracy in western societies, in this case at the level of the european parliament." despite putin's public protest, experts who analyze social media say the russians are stepping up their game. o'neil says: "they're trying to give the appearance that there's a public opinion, public attitude, public sentiment that favors whatever position they're trying to advance-- whether it's comfort with them being in the region they're in or comfort with their policies, or trying to mask some of the discontent with the things they are doing." the 2016 election exposed the prevalence and popularity of so- called fake news on different platforms, and with different agendas. kurtz says: "i think even ten years ago the russians would have had a hard time getting people to believe these fake stories but now with so many people sharing on twitter, facebook and instagram its almost like rocket fuel for propagandists trying to influence american elections and culture," testifying before the thanksgiving break, the outgoing director of national intelligence said cited recent successes in this arena. clapper says: "russians have a very active and aggressive capability to conduct

operations, so called hybrid warfare. that's been a long standing practice of theirs going back to the soviet era and i anticipate that it will continue." herridge says: "clapper told lawmakers that publicly calling out russian-backed hackers just weeks before the election, in addition to dialogue between the u.s. and russian governments temporarily blunted the hacking activity. in washington, catherine herridge, fox news." the bus driver sp the deadly bus crash in tennessee that killed six... may have had a record of reckless driving prior to the crash. students and administrators apparently raised concerns about jonthony walker's driving weeks before the crash. records released by the school district yesterday... reveal letters from students... saying walker drove so fast... they thought the bus would flip over. investigators are looking into if fatigue was a factor in the crash... as walker had taken on a second

trying to squash a class action lawsuit... from customers over a fake account scandal. the bank asked the u-s district court in utah earlier this week... to force customers to resolve their claims... in closed-door arbitration... instead of open court. the bank is being sued for opening about two million unauthorized accounts. black friday has come and gone... but while many were out shopping... some people were out protesting. fox's bryan llenas has more on these demonstrators. it's a shopping frenzy across the country! millions of americans are at malls and stores, hunting for bargains on what could end up being a record-breaking black friday... from first timers to shopping veterans, everyone seems to have their own strategy for finding what they need this year: sauro says "it was my first time doing this so i'm a little tired. but when i go home, i can't wait to go to bed and all that." garcia says: "we like the first come first serve pretty much and everything goes away quick so you gotta take advantage of everything." but not everybody is in the shopping

taking place for the second year in a row along chicago's famed magnificent mile... demonstrators there hoping to disrupt commerce - calling attention to what they say is a lack of accountability for chicago's police. mos says: "we are tired of the corruption that exists within the chicago police force. we are no longer gonna stand by and watch our children be murdered." but the protests aren't expected to have a major impact on the bottom line... retail experts say the brisk business is a result of improved consumer confidence - backed strengthening economy and a rising stock market. many shoppers also say - they're finding more variety this year than they have in the past. caserta says: "there is a lot in every age group. there's a lot of variety this year which is nice when there's more than one or two items in any given age category." (on-cam tag) record-setting numbers of americans also shopping on-line this year... with internet black friday sales expected to top three billion dollars for the first time. in west nyak, new

retailers say they're on track to break spending records for black friday. and we're sure local shops are hoping people are still in the spending mood today for small business saturday. fox5's kathleen jacob joins us live from boca park in summerlin where small businesses are already opening their doors for the big day... good morning kathleen! closed captioning

window shop before you make your purchases. if you're around small children, take advantage of their energy. play with them, go for a walk -- even chase them around the house! you'll be squeezing in some exercise and the kids will put you in the holiday spirit. and since they're all around, why not plan some activities with your family? go caroling ... or take a walk to check out holiday lights. but be realistic. the holidays are always hectic and sometimes people have trouble sticking with their exercise routines. if you can't do your full, intensive workout -- that's okay... as long as you don't let it go for today's health minute, i'm kim hutcherson. i'm so sorry... all the ajax in the world aint gonna clean your dirty laundry...music... if the neighbors get to asking i won't cover nothin up carrie underwood lets jesus take the wheel... but you can drive yourself over to t-mobile arena to see her perform... tonight at 7 p.m... tickets start at

in national news this morning... president-elect donald trump announced two more additions to his staff. he has named former republican administration official k-t mcfarland... as his deputy national security advisor... and don mcgahn as his white house counsel. mcfarland, a fox news contributor... accused russia of interfering with the presidential election back in november. a key position still available is secretary of state. among the names being thrown around... are retired general david petraeus... mitt romney... and rudy giuliani. and talk of possible russian interference in our presidential election... is still a hot topic. fox's catherine herridge has the latest. since the cold war, russian intelligence has understood the power of information warfare. technological advances in the last five years, including the explosion of in social media outlets, have

moscow to aggressively push its propaganda, and deflect criticism aimed at russian policies. after the european union voted wednesday to counter moscow's disinformation campaigns, president vladimir putin accused the europeans them of censoring dissenting views. putin through translator "if this is all true, what you've just said and if such a decision is made, this means that we are witnessing a certain, in fact an absolutely obvious degradation, from a political point of view, of the perception of democracy in western societies, in this case at the level of the european parliament." despite putin's public protest, experts who analyze social media say the russians are stepping up their game. o'neil says: "they're trying to give the appearance that there's a public opinion, public attitude, public sentiment that favors whatever position they're trying to advance-- whether it's comfort with them being in the region they're in or comfort with their policies, or trying to mask some of the discontent with the things they are doing." the 2016 election exposed the prevalence and popularity of so- called fake news on

different agendas. kurtz says: "i think even ten years ago the russians would have had a hard time getting people to believe these fake stories but now with so many people sharing on twitter, facebook and instagram its almost like rocket fuel for propagandists trying to influence american elections and culture," testifying before the thanksgiving break, the outgoing director of national intelligence said cited recent successes in this arena. clapper says: "russians have a very active and aggressive capability to conduct information operations, so called hybrid warfare. that's been a long standing practice of theirs going back to the soviet era and i anticipate that it will continue." herridge says: "clapper told lawmakers that publicly calling out russian-backed hackers just weeks before the election, in addition to dialogue between the u.s. and russian governments temporarily blunted the hacking activity. in washington, catherine herridge, fox news." the bus driver responsible for the deadly bus crash in tennessee that killed six... may have had a

prior to the crash. students and administrators apparently raised concerns about jonthony walker's driving weeks before the crash. records released by the school district yesterday... reveal letters from students... saying walker drove so fast... they thought the bus would flip over. investigators are looking into if fatigue was a factor in the crash... as walker had taken on a second job. wells fargo is trying to squash a class action lawsuit... from customers over a fake account scandal. the bank asked the u-s district court in utah earlier this week... to force customers to resolve their claims... in closed-door arbitration... instead of open court. the bank is being sued for opening about two million unauthorized accounts. black friday has come and gone... but while many were out shopping... some people were out protesting. fox's bryan llenas has more on these demonstrators. it's a shopping frenzy across the country! millions of americans are at malls and stores, hunting for bargains on what

black friday... from first timers to shopping veterans, everyone seems to have their own strategy for finding what they need this year: sauro says "it was my first time doing this so i'm a little tired. but when i go home, i can't wait to go to bed and all that." garcia says: "we like the first come first serve pretty much and everything goes away quick so you gotta take advantage of everything." but not everybody is in the shopping mood - major protests taking place for the second year in a row along chicago's famed magnificent mile... demonstrators there ho disrupt commerce - calling attention to what they say is a lack of accountability for chicago's police. mos says: "we are tired of the corruption that exists within the chicago police force. we are no longer gonna stand by and watch our children be murdered." but the protests aren't expected to have a major impact on the bottom line... retail experts say the brisk business is a result of improved consumer confidence - backed by a strengthening economy and a rising stock market.

say - they're finding more variety this year than they have in the past. caserta says: "there is a lot in every age group. there's a lot of variety this year which is nice when there's more than one or two items in any given age category." (on-cam tag) record-setting numbers of americans also shopping on-line this year... with internet black friday sales expected to top three billion dollars for the first time. in west nyak, new york, bryan llenas, fox news retailers say they're on track to break spending records for blac friday. and we're sure local shops are hoping people are still in the spending mood today for small business saturday. fox5's kathleen jacob joins us live from boca park in summerlin where small businesses are already opening their doors for the big day... good morning kathleen!
