>> reporter: hi there, pamela.authorities are saying that the lava flow has diminished somewhat, but it's still an absolutely massive lava flow that can fill an olympic-sized pool in a matter of seconds. this is really an eruption that the folks here down in the southwest of iceland say it's absolutely massive. it started around ten pm local time last night when a massive fissure crack opened here in the southwest of iceland. now, that fissure is about four kilometers or about 2. 2, 2. 3 miles long. and it was just viewing magma, hundreds of feet up into the air. and that lasted for the better part of the day. and what authorities are now saying that things have calmed down a little bit, that magma is still being volted into the air by about 30 feet. so, there's still definitely a lot of activity going on, a lot of that lava flow is still going on as well. and you mentioned the toxic gases, it's one of the really interesting things about this volcanic eruption is that it's not spewing ash into the air as you would

. >>> the effort to push pamela price out of office is picking up . we have the latest from a meeting where recall efforts on the headline. >>> we need the water but rain in the bay is becoming bad news for some. we have the latest on power outages and the impact to local holiday travel. >>> our big story of the morning is that forecast and the wet weather we have been talking about. creating a problem for travelers in the middle of the hustle and bustle . let's go out live to sfo right now where 121 flights are delayed, only four have been canceled. that could change. the faa has instituted a ground stop at the airport because of the stormy weather. travelers should expect average delays of about one hour on all departing flights until about 10:00 am. >>> december weather delivers in the bay . the ground is soggy bringing damage. this is healdsburg where an oak tree crashed down knocking over two utility power poles and blocking alexander valley road. if you live in that area, you know electricity has been knocked out. we have been watching the pg&e

i'm pamela brown in for anderson. we begin with not just the ruling, which is historic, but what happens when it almost certainly reaches the u.s. supreme court, which could be seismic. starting us off tonight, paula reid. tell us more about this really surprising ruling. >> surprising, remarkable, pamela. and the judges here, they acknowledge that at the top of their opinion. they talk about the weight and the magnitude of the issue that they're deciding here. i mean this is the biggest court decision to impact a national election since bush v. gore. even though this only impacts colorado, the implications could be national because here we're talking about the 14th amendment of the united states constitution. and there's a section of that amendment that bars u.s. officials who engage in an insurrection from holding public office. now, in this case, colorado was at the lower court level. there was a trial. they found that trump did engage in an insurrection, but they said he shouldn't be disqualified from the ballot b

>> so this is the million- dollar rushton, pamela.t know what happened to the binder that when ms. them. there is one that has emerged from testimony hutchison, the former top aide to chief of staff mark meadows. she totally january 6th committee that she was, quote, almost positive it went home with mr. meadows. it had been kept in a safe when it wasn't being worked on, and she also wrote about this in her new book, claiming that the final night of the term presidency, that she saw meadows leave the white house with an unredacted binder, quote, tucked under his arm. we should say here that mark meadows' attorney strongly denies this. he says, quote, he was clearly aware of this, and any such material that he handled or was in his possession has been treated accordingly, and any other classified information is flat wrong. at this point, pamela, the mystery of this missing binder remains just that, a big mystery. >> is sure does. katie bo, thank you so much. he is the former chief of staff to homeland security and the trump administrat

>> two things, pamela. first of all, it is essential that we provide additional military assistance to the people of ukraine. they are in the fight of their lives. they are spilling blood. people are losing their lives in defense of their freedom. it would be a huge discredit to the united states if we walked away from them at this point. we need to get that done. republicans in the congress have linked that to border security talks. those are ongoing. i should point out that president biden's proposal that is before the congress right now already includes lots of resources for addition or border security, including new machines to screen fentanyl and catch and identify and stop fentanyl from coming into the united states. those talks are ongoing right now. it is imperative that we provide the people of ukraine with the military assistance they need to fight off putin. >> on that note, cnn is reporting that western officials think ukraine is certain to fail as kyiv does not get more aid from the u.s.. you h

tell us more about his comments. >> reporter: he certainly is, pamela. when his campaign started, the press had to ask him questions to kind of prompt any criticism about the former president. last night on the stage behind me, we really saw him go full throttle at the former president. he is trying to thread a delicate needle. he's pitching himself to voters as trump without the baggage and chaos. he has policies to enact and going after the voters that likely voted for trump in the past two elections. he can't offend them. he needs to give them a reason as to why they should pick him and not trump. here's a bit of what he had to say last night. >> when he gets off the tell prompter now, he's a different donald trump than '15 and '16. it was really america first and about the policies. now a lot of it is about him. >> reporter: and so, so much about desantis' campaign is wrapped up in iowa. a lot of the staff moved here. he's gone to all 99 counties. that's something he touted from the stage last night. he talked about the time he's spent in iowa. his w

>> there are a couple of things, pamela.s that hamas is not generally considered an international terrorist organization. it is a designated terrorist organizations, but not used to launching attacks in europe. having said that, i would be astonished that there were not more attempts at terrorism and if some are successful. by the way, those could be american targets as well because we are party to this war as you know. i think over the next -- as long as the conflict goes on, the chances for tears to texaco up by the day. >> you mentioned america, i did some reporting recently with my colleague about how hamas also has tentacles in the u.s., but it had not been a priority for u.s. law enforcement because hamas was looked at more engaged in fund raising here. but the posture has changed dramatically. i imagine in the wake of these arrests in europe, here in the u.s. there's even more of a more heightened alertness. >> exactly, pamela. we saw that car accident on the border. it was assumed to be an attack right away by the ad

earlier we also spoke to professor pamela samuelson and i asked herfrom professor pamela samuelson andprofessor pamela samuelson and i asked herfrom a copyright law perspective whether she thinks the new york times has a strong case. thinks the new york times has a strong case-— strong case. there are a dozen other lawsuits _ strong case. there are a dozen other lawsuits against - strong case. there are a dozen other lawsuits against openai | other lawsuits against 0penai and the other developers of these systems and many of the complaints are very similar. they claim copying for training data purposes is illegal and also that the output is illegal. i would say that the complaint that i have read, the new york times is the strongest complaint so far, because it shows a number of examples of things that were published in the new york times and things that basically show what chatgpt produced in response to prompts and queries. that is pretty powerful evidence that they must have started with the new york times stories to produce the output that is substantially similar. in some cases, e

i'm pamela brown in for anderson tonight. first up, why the former president's legal team today asked the supreme court not to bypass an appeals court and quickly take up the question of whether he enjoys legal immunity for his actions as president. a decision you would think any defendant facing charges, which might be invalidated, would want asap, except for this defendant, who is running for president. we're going to talk in a moment with our legal panel about that and how the supreme court should handle last night's unprecedented colorado supreme court ruling that the former president is an insurrectionist and does not belong on the state's primary ballot. president biden was asked about that today. >> is trump an insurrectionist, sir? >> well, i think certainly it's self-evident. you saw it all. whether the 14th amendment applies, we'll let the court apply that decision. but he certainly supported an insurrection. no question on that. none, zero. >> for more on that and the trump legal team's question, i'm joined by jess

. >> cnn chief investigative correspondent pamela brown and her team have been digging in on the story for months. walk us through what happened. >> reporter: this is the cullment nation of our team's reporting. as you know, it is rare to get by partisan agreement in washington. both the democrat and republican senators said this was the most powerful testimony they have heard. that is because four brave women agreed to tell their stories of sexual assault, including a current cadet at the coast guard academy. cnn uncovered a long history of rape and sexual assaults that were mishandled or hidden. they kept the results a secret. that meant the coast guard didn't fix the issues and raised awareness about them. the current coast guard has ordered sweeping changes since our first reporting, five months ago. the women who testified today represent decades of service in the coast guard. most of them faulted coast guard leadership, which in the past made it difficult to report sexual assaults. many times they were punished if alcohol was involved. they were promoted in some cases. kiara grac

with the fight to recall district attorney pamela price continues this morning. we were there as families of crime victims held a town hall and really went over their next steps to try and have price removed from office. her supporters we can term you were also there to defend her. but the mother of a young man who was shot and killed by a stray bullet told our betty yu what price didn't do to her family is indefensible. listen. >> this is my kid. i'm sorry, i'm speaking out my -- my truth about my situation. and you are going to hear it. >> reporter: an emotional florence mccrary spoke during the q&a portion of a town hall hosted by the campaign to recall tap pam la price, known as save alameda for everyone. her 22-year-old son terrence from berkeley was killed by a stray bullet inside an oakland art gallery in 2016. mccrary said the intended target was shot multiple times and killed nearby. the suspect was charged for both murders under the previous da in alameda county but just last week at a sentencing hearing price's office maid a deal with the shooter for v

cnn's chief investigative correspondent pamela brown has much more on this.hard work has gone into to uncovering a lot of this, pamela. what does this report say? >> that's right, kate. >> this has been a team effort covering the story for several months and this report from the coast guard is unbelievably direct about the problems within the coast guard. for months, cnn has been covering a culture in the coast guard that goes back decades of sexual assaults that were ignored and victims were told to keep quiet. survivors sometimes punished while their perpetrators were never brought to justice. the head of the coast guard launched a 90-day review after cnn's first story over the summer interviewing hundreds of coast guard members sifting through data and the resounding message is this. these failures and lack of accountability are entirely unacceptable. the coast guard must do something about it. the report shows the coast guard failed to live up to its core values by lacking the programs to prevent military sexual trauma and properly supporting victims and

pamela? >> so, what is the white house saying about this crisis then and this claim from officials there, the local officials on the ground, that the federal government just isn't doing enough? >> reporter: yeah. they say they're doing everything they can. they point the resources that are needed not only in terms of personnel but also equipment to help the border patrol, cvp, and everybody involved here. also the local and state agencies. but the reality is that the people that we've talked to here feel that it's not yet enough, especially when it talks to resources, local hospitals, places that these migrants have to go to because they have no other option. pam? >> rafael romo, thank you. >>> the former president weighed in today about the language he's been using repeatedly to describe unauthorized immigrants, also about his resemblance to adolf hitler's. as to the former president saying these immigrants are destroying the blood of the country, he repeated it. >> when you look at it, look
