mr. gulen here in the united states. and it it's a ludicrous claim. absolutely false. >> now, for the latest on the assassination and russian reaction, let's go to cnn's matthew chance.e's live for us in moscow. matthew, the ambassador's body has been returned to russia. such a moving moment in such a horrendous situation. >> yes. the russian, i mean, not just the officials of russia that have called this a despicable act and the promise this did not deveil by their efforts to find a solution to the conflict in syria. or the efforts to build divisions with turkey, they're not going to be derailed. but even ordinary people were shocked by the way this ambassador andrei karlov was doned down so publicly. this was meant to be a conflict. a short military separation that russia was engaged on. an air war to support its ally bashar al assad. but increasingly, we're seeing there's a blowback effect. there are consequences for russia's military intervention in syria, as that conflict spills out into the neighboring countries. and, of course, elsewhere across the world as well. and that's something that's a certain to the kremlin. in terms of actual funeral arrangements from

mr. trump supports more nuclear weapons. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. >> barbara starr, thank you. let's go to mathew chen standing by live for us this hour. matthewyou with us. let's talk about the two super powers who in the past committed to the idea of reducing nuclear arsenals, setting the leading example for the rest of the world. now these latest comments from the russian president and this tweet from the incoming u.s. president-elect make it seems like the arms race could be back on. what's the read there in moscow from all of this? >> reporter: well, i mean it is a very different situation to the cold war between the two super powers of the soviet union and the united states. i mean russia is no longer in that category. it still has nuclear weapons but it doesn't have a global reach in the same way that the soviet union had, and it is not ideologically opposed in the same way it was during the cold war to the west and the united states. but, you know, you're right. donald trump has been going on about this for a while throughout his campaign as well, how the united states needs to further modernize its arsenal of nuclear weapons. what the

mr. trump to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation. joining us now to talk about the letter and donald trump's response to it cnn's senior international correspondent matthewe. matthew, tell us first about this letter that we understand was actually dated several days ago, more than a week now. >> it was dated december 15th, but it was only yesterday that it was made public by the trump campaign in florida. not campaign, trump transition team in florida. and you know, it's surprising to us because we haven't heard anything about it from here in russia from the kremlin. and we've spoken about the contact they've had with the incoming trump administration on several occasions but reading the text of that letter, talking about more constructive dialogue and saul of these kinds of positive issues that the kremlin was putting into that letter. actually that vladimir putin was putting into that letter, it really does fit into the pattern of the kind of dialogue that the kremlin is hoping to have my president-elect trump when he takes the white house. they want to see a sea change in the relationship. and it's been pushed over a whole range of issues like the war

mr. president, thank you. about a month and a half ago i came to this chamber to talk about the disaster that occurred in the aftermath of hurricane matthew. it was two months ago to the day that hurricane matthew hit eastern north carolina. i don't think many people, even in the state it is hard to conceive of the damage that matthew caused. even people in the middle part of the state, charlotte, so i know it's difficult for those who may be in other states and didn't see the local news coverage. but matthew took 28 lives. it displaced tens of thousands of people in the near term and now thousands of people are still without homes. it's damaged businesses, its infrastructure, miles of interstate 95 were under water and bridges have been washed out. we have a lot of damage that we have to recover from. i've seen communities -- we have one community that was washed away by hurricane floyd and was washed away again just about 17 years later with hurricane matthew. neighborhoods completely under water. i was in fayettville. there was a habitat for humanity neighborhood that had 90 homes. six are uninhabitable now. there were areas in flood p
