boris? >> stephanie, thank you for that. >>> we have a disturbing development to share related to coronavirus. north korea hackers carried out a cyber attack against astra-zeneca. this news breaking from reuters. cnn's david culver is in china for us. david, how exactly did this happen, what's being done about it? >> reporter: boris, the claim is that this happened through fake job advertisement sites through linkedin, a networking site that you and i know well, and what's app. this is according to reuters. they are saying it involved north korean hackers using russian links and emails, some email addresses that they would send via sites, linkedin and what's app to employees at astra-zeneca. the british drug maker. the obvious connection here is that those staff members, many were working on the covid-19 vaccine. so when they would click on the link or if they followed it, the idea is it would give access to the internal systems of astra-zeneca, and potentially give information that is sensi

some of boris johnson's own mentioned and moment ago.mps want to see the evidence as to why restrictions need to continue. it is very difficult at the moment. there is some suggestion, if you look at some of the papers today they are suggesting that perhaps a second wave may have passed its peak. so there are a number of mps and some have written letters saying essentially what we've got to show that this lockdown is revamped system, tier system is going to save more lives than a cause. it's a very difficult balancing act. i don't think there will be many people who say that they'd want to be in charge of this. because it is very difficult. the track and trace has not been particularly successful. it's getting better. of course these vaccines are coming along and these other tests that are really quick that could get results in 20 minutes. all of these things are kind of coming down the line. you just come to the point where you go, maybe we just have to sacrifice our freedom at the moment for the long—term. freedom at the moment for the

boris? >> yeah. that's going to be especially difficult with the pent up frustration and pandemic fatigue so many are feeling. evan morris, happy thanksgiving, joining us from new york. >>> scientists are learning more about how the coronavirus is mutating. cnn health reporter jacqueline howard has more. jacqueline, what are the scientists finding? >> the main take away so far, the coronavirus mutations don't mean much, we don't have to worry, but the science is interesting. here's what researchers have found. researchers in london looked at the virus' genetic data in 49 samples from different countries. they detected 12,000 mutations, including one previously thought to make the virus more transmissible. but the researchers found no evidence of that mutation and others being associated with an increase or decrease in how easily the virus infects people, so the mutations in this study are largely neutral, but this is something scientists are watching, especially as people start getting vaccinated in

i'm boris sanchez. i want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. it is a thanksgiving day unlike any other. americans this year expressing gratitude for what they have, while many are hungry, struggling and grieving those missing from their tables. another 2,297 people died from coronavirus. hospitalizations nationwide breaking records for the 16th day in a row as medical experts warn this thanksgiving surge could turn into a christmas nightmare. in fact, the cdc is projecting major devastation before christmas day. its new forecast calculating as many as 321,000 deaths by december 19th. that's another 60,000 americans dead in less than a month. millions are defying cdc guidance to stay home this week. for three weeks now, the country has reported 100,000 plus new infections every day. and that number, according to a new cdc model, is likely an undercount. it estimates that only 13% of covid cases were recorded from february through september. that's one of every eigh

boris? >> yeah, jeremy, and you bring up such a good point, that the trump legal team is making these claims publicly but they're not actually alleging widespread fraud in court, even though they make these allegations in the fund-raising emails, the hundreds of fund-raising emails that have been sent out since election day seeking money, claiming that it's for the legal team, when we know your own reporting has pointed out that in the fine print, it's actually going to a political action committee to fund trump's life. >> reporter: 75% of donations going to that political action committee now. stunning. >> jeremy diamond from the white house. thank you so much, sir. >>> joining us now to discuss further is the former chief of staff under president george w. bush, andy card. andy, it's really a pleasure to have you. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, boris. >> of course. the president's legal losses, as jeremy pointed out, they keep piling up. federal appeals court slammed his a

i'm boris sanchez in for christine romans. >> great to have you this week, boris. i'm laura jarrett. it's 5:00 a.m. in new york, and we begin with breaking news overnight. cnn has learned president-elect joe biden is set to name his nominee for u.s. secretary of state. sources say long time foreign policy adviser tony blinken will get the nod, when biden announces his cabinet picks on tuesday. cnn's arlette saenz starts us off live in wilmington, delaware. it's interesting, current and former officials pouring in with praise for tony blinken, clearly very pleased with this move. >> that's right, laura, good morning, and tony blinken is certainly a seasoned hand when it comes to foreign policy. he served as a deputy secretary of state and also has long time ties to president-elect joe biden dating all the way back to biden's time in the senate. blinken also served as biden's national security adviser while he was vice president. and he has these long time relationships across the world, really, as he has spent decades in the national security and diplomacy sector. a

boris, laura. >> jeremy, thank you so much for that. the pardon of michael flynn could be just the tip of the iceberg. president trump shared a tweet from republican congressman matt gates of florida suggesting the president should pardon himself. cnn has reported that the president often asks about pardons for himself and his family members and whether he could issue them preemptively, and boris, here's the thing, a presidential pardon offers no protection again state prosecutions and this is why you see the president-elect joe biden underscoring that and saying, look, i have jurisdiction over what happens with the justice department and doj. that's the southern district of new york. what the district attorney in manhattan does, what the attorney general does in manhattan, that's a whole different ball game, he can not pardon that. >> yeah, it's really strange. you can't imagine that this is what the framers had in mind when they gave the president the power to pardon, and what really strikes me is that as we talk about the final days

what boris johnson has laid additional devolved powers? 2014. .. both 2014... both talk at once i am joint you a nswer both talk at once i am joint you answer the question. go—ahead. answer the question. go-ahead. they said in 2014 we would have the most powerful devolved parliament and pathetic david cameron did was talk about strengthening the english belt, that is the very first thing he said on the steps of downing street the morning after the referendum —— strengthening the english votes. we keepin strengthening the english votes. we keep in scotland being ignored all the talent being taken away. we have seen the talent being taken away. we have seen and heard it all before, it is like groundhog day, they have no intention to strengthen devolution, you can see from these comments the content that boris johnson has you can see from these comments the content that borisjohnson has run devolution, he does not want more, he wants less. and the only way to protect what he has to stay somewhat the public yet vote for. thank you for joining

he ultimately propelled boris johnson to that position come so boris johnson owes him a lot for that. i think in the past year, we have seen factions evolving in number 10. a lot of criticism about how boris johnson surrounds himself with a very small gang of people , and in terms of dominic cummings, that a lot of members of parliament dislike. communications, there was some speculation that he would become boris johnson's chief of staff area the backlash to that from the party was so much that the prime ministers decided ultimately not to do he then resigned. and now we see dominic cummings resign. i think there are factions within number 10. i can see how it is playing out in the financial markets on brexit, but we were assured in a briefing earlier that this has absolutely nothing to do with brexit. dominic cummings told reporters himself it has nothing to do with brexit. you can see why people would jump to that conclusion, given involvement in the vote leave campaign and brexit itself. alix: nevertheless, if the u.k. was ready to make a deal with the eu, give up a little, get a

is it as simple as that boris johnson wants a donald trump victory?ter: i don't think you can say it is as simple as that because of brexit, it is a very complicated agreement and so is the good friday peace agreement. of course it is an open secret that boris johnson is very, very keen, if not desperate for some kind of free trade deal with the united states. of course, the united states will come with its own conditions which concerns some of boris johnson's own supporters. yes, that is on his to do list next january. once britain is no longer in the status quo that it is, in terms of its relationship with the european union. personality-wise, yes, boris johnson has got on very well with president trump, even though he had some harsh words for a few years ago when he was london mayor, and of course, donald trump has referred to his friend boris johnson, calling him "britain trump." interestingly on the flipside, joe biden has actually said that he sees boris johnson as "the physical and emotional clone of trump,," that is an actual quote from joe bi

boris? >> it is an incredible challenge. miguel marquez in new york, natasha chen in atlanta, thank you both. >>> let's dig deeper with cnn medical analyst and professor of medicine at george washington university, dr. jonathan reiner. thank you for joining us today. you have dr. fauci warning of a surge on top of a surge during this holiday season, and even though the cdc warned people against traveling this thanksgiving, millions did so anyway. come christmas and new year's, what are we in for? >> we're in many cases per day. my guess is 200,000 plus new cases per day, upwards of 3,000 deaths per day and on top of that, we're in for, i hope i'm wrong, but i don't think i am, just devastated hospitals. if you remember in certain parts of the country during the initial surge in the spring, many hospitals, not just in places like new york or d.c., all places around the country canceled elective cases. we're going to see that happen very soon. as our intensive care units fill up, hospitals are going to have to start curtailing

trump has had a close relationship with boris johnson.boris johnson or the uk. biden is a conciliator. he won't go in guns blazing. but i think the relationship between downing street and the white house will be significantly and the white house will be significa ntly cooler. and the white house will be significantly cooler. relationship between the irish government and the american government will continue to go from strength to strength. to be clear, the article talks about boris johnson making the comment that was pa rt johnson making the comment that was part kenyan... as a comment on an incident that happened with a bust. the daily mirror. we are all burnt out. aren't we just. the daily mirror. we are all burnt out. aren't wejust. caroline? this is grim. it's all very understandable. i don't know if you remember, matt hancock appeared on the andrew marr show in march, april, andrew marr pressed him and even then saying will these nhs nurses be getting a pay rise? matt hancock just sort of nurses be getting a pay rise? matt hancockjus

sonia purnell is a writer who has written a biography of boris johnson — called just boris.ke of it? it is the great bravado of the great showman he is. he is very good at that sort of thing, sounding positive. the whole thing is extremely mysterious. first of all we saw the picture of him with lee anderson, this mp, and they weren't wearing masks which seems extremely odd ina wearing masks which seems extremely odd in a lockdown... sorry wearing masks which seems extremely odd in a lockdown. .. sorry to interrupt, i think it is because they were in a workplace environment so therefore they don't have to do. but there were no screens between them and most of us either have screens or a long way apart or we wear masks. they seem to be strange images. the other thing is lee anderson is also very interesting mp, he has got into trouble before, the stuff during the election campaign which the bbc reported on about allegations of there being fa ke about allegations of there being fake supporters and all sorts of things. if there is a reset, it is very odd, an odd way to go about

i'm boris sanchez in for anna cabre cabrera. morning 13 million americans have been infected with covid-19 since this pandemic began. a sure sign of a surge, 4 million of those cases came just this month. now a thanksgiving weekend full of family gatherings and travel has leaders and experts sounding the alarm. >> i want to be straight with the american people. it's going to get worse over the next several weeks. >> as we go for the next couple of weeks into december that we might see a surge super imposed upon that surge that we're already in. >> right now one american is dying every minute from this disease on average. experts say we could see the number of daily covid deaths actually double by next weekend. but the president is still fixated on nonexistent election fraud. he spent 45 minutes airing his delusions to millions of viewers on cable news. and fox news may call it an interview, but it was essentially a fever dream, a rambling monologue. >> this is total fraud. and how the fbi and department of justice, i don't know,

remember that a year ago boris johnson came going into 2021?that a year ago borisjohnson came in, and an 80 seat majority. this is been a big fall from grace during this year notjust for dominic big fall from grace during this year not just for dominic cummings, who helped him get that majority, but for the government more widely. let's turn to the front page of the daily telegraph. two extra names added to this whole mix. we have carrie symonds, michael gove — carrie symonds, michael gove — carrie symonds, michael gove — carrie symonds is named as one of the reasons that we saw all this dramatic exiting today, but michael gove also a name people are heading to to get things done. what are the objects on this? this has got where the details of the drama that's been going on behind closed doors. it is fairly juicy going on behind closed doors. it is fairlyjuicy stuff, going on behind closed doors. it is fairly juicy stuff, and going on behind closed doors. it is fairlyjuicy stuff, and it does say that what has been claimed on one side is that bo

i mean boris johnson. is very much hoping the he will donald trump wins this election because it will mean briggs it might get saved joe biden has already been very critical of brigs it because of the threat to the the island of the good friday agreement so is it as simple as that is it as simple as the boris johnson wants a don't trump victory. i don't think you can say it is a simple as that because brett set of course is a very complicated issue and so is the good friday peace agreement on the island of ireland so of course it's an open secret that boris johnson is very very keen if not desperate for some kind of free trade deal with the united states of course the united states will come with its own conditions which concerned some of boris johnson's own supporters but yes that's top of his to do list next january once britain is no longer in the status quo that it is in terms of its relationship with the european union now personality wise yes boris johnson has got on very well with president trump ev

boris johnson's downing what happens in the coming days.s downing street operation is in something of a limbo period at the moment although there are still many key staff in place and any prime minister himself remains in charge. he was heavily influenced and, to an extent, the whole operation was, in tone and substance, influenced by dominic cummings and lee cain and the methods that they brought with them, the combative, confrontational, certainly in conventional methods of doing things that rubbed so many people up the wrong way, but you cannot argue were not in many ways effective. now that has gone, boris johnson will have to make some decisions for himself about her to bring in and that will, in itself, tell us that the shape and style of the government that will be operating from here on in. thank you very much, jonathan blake. the us president—electjoe biden has won the state of georgia, the bbc projects — the first time a democratic candidate has done so since 1992. the win strengthens biden‘s victory — giving him a total of 306 el

i'm boris sanchez. i want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. unfortunately the holiday week is ending just as it began with a record number of americans hospitalized with coronavirus. in fact, for 17 days now, the country has shattered the hospitalization record set only the day before. the latest count from the covid tracking project more than 90,000 people are being treated for coronavirus by doctors, nurses and other medical staff as they are sounding alarms saying that our health system is being pushed to the brink. there are no localized hot spots anymore either. the whole country is experien experiencing a major spread. if you follow the yellow line on your screen you see that deaths in the midwest are roughly double that of any other region. the u.s. right now averaging 1,500 deaths and 164,000 new infections per day. just on thanksgiving, the nation reported roughly 110,000 new cases. that actually does not even include reports from 20 states. they didn't

boris would have beat him to it.about is if the amount of the virus out here is higher than it needs to be,... as normal, very little social distancing, people will be climbing onto trains, gathering at home, moving between household, then we can pay an awful price in january. the lockdown will not be enough if we have a couple of thousand deaths. it's a sobering thought. before you continue, let's bring in the sun. we're going to be out of time soon. 1 we're going to be out of time soon. i millionjobs a day we're going to be out of time soon. i million jobs a day and whatever you think about what will happen in the next few weeks, one thing we can say is the work that the scientists are doing to get these vaccines through at such high speed is just incredible —— i millionjabs. britain is one of the great homes of research. we are one of the top two or three in the world, and it's great to see 0xford, imperial london and local companies all over trying to get them going. well done, america, well done, germany, but se

the second reason is around carrie symonds, boris johnson's fiance, and various things that have been third aspect i think is interesting, is that, actually, we are all of this grandeur about what dominic cummings would achieve in thejob, but dominic cummings would achieve in the job, but actually what we are hearing from insiders is he actually could not do the job. he was disinterested and, from the last minute, he thought these could be donein minute, he thought these could be done in the last two or three days. that is not how government works. we do get this picture of various failures, various followings out, various issues of power and power dynamics within number ten and the wider conservative party. interesting, isn't it, that the article talks about the faction? it does make you wonder who else is within the faction and still in number ten and what is going to happen next. the ft leading to revenge, but could there be more people leaving? there could be, because going across the spread of the papers, they do say that dominic cummings, he brought in a bunch of people — he wan

sorry, i thought he would say for boris johnson.oting to stroll biden, i think is pivoting to stroll biden, i think is pivoting towards half of his party. imean, he pivoting towards half of his party. i mean, he did the green energy package for one half of his party, or not even half, but a proportion of it, and now this military spendingl of it, and now this military spending i think has been planned, he has had in his mind for quite some time. i think it is to do with satisfying a considerable wing of the conservative party which is felt that the cuts in defence spending we re that the cuts in defence spending were illjudged, especially in the current state of affairs. the joe biden, trump business, by withdrawing troops, you have to rememberjoe withdrawing troops, you have to remember joe biden was withdrawing troops, you have to rememberjoe biden was vice president under barack 0bama, who was also an isolationist, in his way. his failure to intervene in syria had phenomenally destructive consequences and he was also planning to

if boris johnson polls, took a battering at that point.sed how much he would lose combat, i wonder if he would have kept him at that time. maybe. personal loyalty is a rare and likeable quality. the prime minister would say, look, this person is essential to my government in terms of the clarity and the energy he brings to the whole strategy. but as you say, for the prime minister to have squandered that much capital or just prime minister to have squandered that much capital orjust another six months of his key aide, it doesn't look like a greatjudgment at the time. i am sure it is one he has thought back to a lot, but in any case now he has taken the decision. this could be part two of ajohnson government decision. this could be part two of a johnson government for this reason, and because we are coming out of the transition period with the eu. from january we really will be separate from the eu, de facto. does this present an opportunity for borisjohnson to does this present an opportunity for boris johnson to perhaps does this present

i don't think that will go down very well with boris johnson.sed. saying that you are going to raise taxes next year. talk to any economist and they say that that is a really, really bad idea. the economy will still be in a really sickly state next year. we will be nowhere near running at capacity, and that is not the time to put up taxes to suck demand out of the economy. there is the suggestion of a possibility that he will announce future tax rises, tax rises to come in three orfour years future tax rises, tax rises to come in three or four years time next week. that may be justifiable. but speak to any competent economist and they will say it is not the time, next year, the next 12 months is not the time to be putting taxes.. anna, let's have a look at the sunday times. things back to normal by easter. you will learn alluding to the fact that there's quite a lot of optimism now amongst government ministers that the end is in sight, there is a light at the end of tunnel. this is mostly driven by the fa ct tunnel. this is mostly driven by the

i think there is much appetite in government for boris johnson to agree a deal. will meet again in christmas covid plans, four households — where is this coming from? well, you know, it looks like some good news, doesn't it?|j from? well, you know, it looks like some good news, doesn't it? i am just trying to work out where they have got these from, this is the government working on... is this elite or something? my instinct is they say is everybody, even in scotland as well, is trying to create some good news for christmas. it is not all going to come right by christmas, but at least there might bea christmas, but at least there might be a little bit ofjoy for everybody at christmas. i find this rather strange. 0n the same day that uk deaths rose by 598, the biggest dailyjump in six months. you know, the total cases are now heading towards 1.5 million. the worst thing of all would seem to be poor old matt hancock, who seems to be... his role in the government is to come out and sort of try and put a decent spin on the worst news of the week. imean, he spin on th

this is boris johnson's statement you will be much missed.ant is lee kane to the prime minister? it's really fascinating question because their a nswer fascinating question because their answer right now is not important as it used to be quite clearly because the prime minister's dispensed his services. and was happy, we know, to see the uk walk out the door. but if you go back to the uk, the uk rose in the ranks very quickly. quite a lowly press officer and the vote leave operation, when it wine, a lot of those people gotjobs in government. as to lee kane, who was a special adviser for rural affairs for a few years, then moved on. they put him into the foreign office when boris johnson's special adviser put him into the foreign office when borisjohnson‘s special adviser left him. quickly went native... when borisjohnson him. quickly went native... when boris johnson resigned from him. quickly went native... when borisjohnson resigned from the government in 2018, lee kane resigned with him. where everyone wrote him off, they said he was finis

you were talking tonight about 100 mps who were threatening to vote against boris johnson on tuesday.f them will of course because a lot of this is for the benefit of their constituents. so they have to look angry about it. but there is still angry about it. but there is still an awful lot there who are planning to vote against the government, and even though boris johnson to vote against the government, and even though borisjohnson has got to vote against the government, and even though boris johnson has got a majority of 80, it only takes a few more than 40 tory mps and he has lost the majority. and what will happen on tuesday is he is relying oi'i happen on tuesday is he is relying on labour votes and keir starmer to get them through. is this a case of scientists versus the economics. what about the doctors? are they overwhelmed? we hear that from people and we hear from scientists and experts and have done is up until now the government has pretty much stumbled through. its approach to dealing with a pandemic. it is very difficult for a government that has lost its moral authority

a p pa re ntly dominic cummings and lead to an apparently used about kerry simmons, the fiance of boris about kerry simmons, the fiance of borisjohnson and it speaks to the counter briefings encounter, counter briefings that we have a nation have been subject to over who said what‘s, who thought what, who was on whose side and the one version of events as to what led to dominic cummings leaving very dramatically through the front door of number ten was a borisjohnson had been shown text that had been sent by dominic cummings which referenced kerry is being described by this nickname of princess nut nuts and we do not know whether that is actually true and they have said, thatis is actually true and they have said, that is definitely not what happened and allies have said that this is pa rt and allies have said that this is part of the picture that they were fighting against, but it does speak to the factions, the tension that has been going on behind that locked door in downing street but we do not necessarily know and in human relationships, you also do not know who was right and who‘s

boris johnson is lifting england's second lockdown this week on wednesday. will this be a tiered system? how is this going to play out? >> y tiered system, michael, and what we'll see is the second and third very high, which is the vast majority of england will be in, e'll be some differences so, where i am just outside of londonill be in tier two. so, our corner pubs will start to open, but they'll have to close at 11:00. people still will not be able to mix different housolds, mix inside. and then, i think the big difference we'll see when you gthet up into tiee is really shutting down restaurants and pubs only for takeaway and delive, that sort of thing. those are, those are some of the big differences. but what you're seeing already is complaints among members of parliament who say, wait a second, this is-- these tiers are blanket in some areas where you'llone county like kent and say, even though it varies a ofgreat deal in termhe covid rate, make iall tier three, where you can just drive to the next county five minutes ay and you can go have a drink at

the prime minister boris johnson is expected to set out his plan on monday.oming up at 6 o'clock, breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst — but first it's time for a look back at the week in parliament. hello, and welcome to the week in parliament, where boris johnson self—isolates after a coronavirus contact, but rejects suggestions there's not enough financial help for other people forced to stay at home. i do think it's a reasonable package mr speaker, i know it's tough for people who have to self—isolate. but the labour leader says people are having to live on £13 a day sick pay. if you can't afford to isolate, there's little point in being tested or traced. scotland's first minister announces tough new coronavirus restrictions for 11 council areas, including glasgow. the level four is intended to be short and sharp, and in this situation is specifically intended to have an impact in advance of christmas. and a multi—billion pound boost in defence spending is welcomed by many of borisjohnson‘s mps, but one wonders... since the era of the duke of wel

presidential election and as england sits on the eve of a 2nd coronavirus lockdown after the boris johnson government fails to prevent a 2nd wave coming up in the show i remember very clearly i can still taste and smell it the mounting panic ahead of school holidays because the income we heard could not stretch to feeding 2 boys and a mother in that day. marcus rush wouldn't have this and probably only this in common we remember not in our heads we do not hold bodies. an old etonian of course can't be expected to have the same experience ahead of another national lockdown is class war being waged in our name we speak to labor panel griffith's of the report about old etonian boris johnson's ability to protect the most vulnerable in our society and will the 2nd lockdown kill off the multi-billion pound culture industry in britain we speak to enter shikari 0 reynolds about why he has written to u.k. johnson the ritchie son at about saving the arts almost more coming up in today's going underground but 1st while the united states comes to terms with election 2020 nato partner britain is facing

so, boris johnson because the labour party supports in.se the labour party supports in. so, boris johnson will be able to get them through parliament, but you won't want to be in a position where he is relying on the labour party to see him through. so, he will be trying to twist a lot of arms before the vote this coming week on of the new regulation. there is an awful lot on the papers, we don't yet know exactly what the government is proposing, we are going to hearfrom government is proposing, we are going to hear from the government is proposing, we are going to hearfrom the prime minister tomorrow. some, picking up on that guardian story, pm promises mass testing. some indication appears to beat you might have to put up with restrictions between now and christmas, and then at some point in the new year, it will all be fine because we will be able to get tests that give us results in two hours, and providing you test a couple of times and the week, you will be given almost a travel pass to move freely and do what you want. is it to move
