it's a huge task, laila. >> huge task indeed. salma, thank you so much. >>> the communist party in china has wrapped up its week-long national congress with xi jinping set to be named on sunday to a third term as general secretary of the party. it is the most powerful position in china because the leader of the only ruling party also controls the government and the military. and in a sign of his tightening grip, mr. xi could also be given a new title. and there was also a surprise in the final session. let's bring in cnn's beijing bureau chief, steven jiang. let's start with that. what happened? >> reporter: laila, in a bit of high drama, at least by chinese standard, during the closing ceremony, former chinese top leader hoe jing to you, who is mr. xi's predecessor, was seen led out of the room accompanied by two male staff members. now, in videos captured by foreign media outlets, including cnn, we could see mr. hu actually was seen talking to the male members, the staff members briefly. and then being led out at least initiall

laila?a, in a sign of the fear that ukrainians are living with day by day, we're just getting a report that train traffic and all subway lines in the capital, kyiv, have been suspended and that the underground stations are being used as shelters. it resembles the beginning of the war. >> absolutely. that's exactly what it will feel like for families in ukraine right now who have woken up to these explosions, these sounds of loud explosions, multiple explosions right in the heart of the capital. one of these missiles landing in a kindergarten. the mayor already telling everybody, take shelter, this could go on for some time. so absolutely, for the families in ukraine right now who are huddling in bomb shelters, trying to make it down to metro stations to take shelter, they are going to be remembering the first days of this wrflt, wondering how far this goes. throughout what's been so terrifying for so many average ukrainians is the kremlin has made clear they can strike ukraine anywhere, any

laila, so much to cover here.some of that rain from the southwest and put it where they need it the most, across the mississippi river. >> if only, derek van dam, thank you so much. >>> much of florida is still reeling from hurricane ian. more than two weeks after the powerful storm slammed into the state. schools there have been particularly hard-hit. as cnn's rene marsh reports, it's just the latest example of extreme weather brought on by the climate crisis impacting education in the u.s. >> my goodness gracious. >> reporter: melissa wright sees the destruction at her 10-year-old son zane's school for the first time. >> that's the sign he stands in front of the first day of scoot every year. >> reporter: fort myers beach elementary is one block from the ocean. hurricane ian's powerful winds tore down walls and its storm surge approached the top of the school doors, destroying nearly everything inside. >> losing that school, it's probably what i've cried about the most. >> reporter: it's been more than two weeks

i'm laila harrak.head on cnn newsroom, russia blaming ukraine for the crimean bridge explosion as russia's president prepares to meet with his national security team. we have the latest in a live report. >>> plus we're less than 30 days away from the u.s. midterms and what could be a referendum on president joe biden's popularity. we look at what key issues quill drive people to the polls. >>> fork's propaganda machine is out with new details on the scope of its recent military drills and what role kim jong-un played in them . >>> we twin in ukraine where two explosions have been reported in the country's capital. the mayor of kyiv says they happened in the city center and that all services are at the location. it comes after russia suffered a humiliating blow this weekend when an explosion damaged its bridge to crimea. a key supply line for his troops. president vladimir putin has blamed ukraine for the blast, calling it a terror attack. despite moscow's fury, a kremlin spokesman is playing down conce

>> thanks, laila.k, i think what you're going to see is great pressure on the russian logistics network, essentially by attacking this bridge, they have certainly reduced the ability of the russians to supply crimea. and they've also demonstrated essentially that the bridge is vulnerable, particularly as the ukrainian forces advance around kherson, they can bring in systems such as himars to attack the bridge again, potentially collapse the thing entirely. the russians i think will be likely to move forces from the donbas to the south to try and protect that bridge and protect the supply lines around mariupol. because if they lose those two ground lines of communication, then the ability of the russians to defend the whole crimea comes into question. that really would be the ultimate prize after the ukrainians take kherson. >> how might this have happened? >> look, i think, you know -- i've seen the videos of supposedly the truck coming up onto the bridge and then the massive explosion. i'm not convinc

laila was talking about how rapidly this storm intensified.iod just yesterday that it increased its wind speed by 60 miles per hour, taking advantage of those very favorable environmental conditions and the warm ocean water across the eastern pacific. we have our hurricane warnings, including puerto vallatra, home to 200,000 people. the threats, storm surge, rough surf, heavy rainfall leading to localized flash flooding, the potential for landslides and mudslides exists as this storm crawls, i'm sure, the next three to six hours. the other side of the spectrum here, not only are we talking about tropical weather, we're talking about winter storms. this is some of the first measurable snow of the season across the western u.s. incredible to see this. we get excited this time of year, at least for the skiers and snowboarders including myself. winter storm warnings in place for the intermountainwest. some of the locations impacted include denver to salt lake city, grand junction to durango into colorado. you can see this radar lighting up like a

yes, this is one of the first ones, that's also laila's song yes, like lay-lay-la-la-la-la, yes, whicht, yes, the first one was also performed by the leys song ensemble . igor ivanov yes, and he and here he, by the way, was never shown on tv, he was never shown, and of course. these are plates. well, let's then. distant lands farewell farewell farewell farewell distance forever found the sky of january, farewell, and do not promise anything and nothing burns. do you remember, you and above, that it was yes, yes? but now another song will sound that received recognition performed by igor ivanov, uh, this song was performed by a local instrumental ensemble. singing heart. i mean the song clouds in the river and now i will ask oleg chuprin to perform this composition. clouds look into the river, and i keep looking at you, but like clouds you are so far away in my soul something again, concealing that say it happened, suddenly again perhaps i’m to blame, you can’t be silent stubbornly silent. participate, another in a row. i'm even in love in love mutual way alone and attire with happiness

we can't very well laila detest bolts, as the tramp learns pretty quickly, even though this experienceas so bad for the tramp, to be on this assembly line and put in a hospital, he's done a great hurry to go back to the factory as soon as you can. what a waste is we have? >> now, this film is artistic triumph because it offers both a return to the playful area of the early tramp, as well as the comedic sophistication of the gold rush, another outstanding work by chaplain. not only, i would argue, is this a most interesting film to consider in the context of chapel politics, but it is also both his best and most important work in my view. let me say a few things about summing up this immense body of work, before we opened things up for questions. i think chaplin's main goal was a sympathy for the underclass. that receives a very different interpretation in the 1950s, during the days of jay at your hoover than it received in the 1930s in the 1940s. in all of his films, chaplains sympathies are with those struggling and the more that they're struggling, the more empathetic you can be. ove

laila, you're on sanibel islands and we've been focusing on sanibel island in particular because this is the first time in a week that residents are allowed to come back from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to see the damage of their homes themselves. they can't stay past that. it's too dangerous. what have you seen today? >> reporter: listen, as soon as we came in, which by the way we came in by boat. as you heard, the president as well as the governor mention the bridges, the causeways are not able to be used right now. we came in by boat. as soon as i went in i saw power lines down, debris-filled roads. we saw houses that once were on one side of the street and now they're on another side of the street. that really speaks to the force of hurricane ian. and so for these residents who are coming back for the first time, seeing what they haven't been able to see, to check on their home, to check on their personal belongings, many checking on their neighbors, as well. i mean, it was a mixed -- mixed emotions for those who lost it all, and then those who sort of had a sigh of relief because they
