paula. >> yeah. and obviously he had been informed of something, as you said, perhaps communication that the crew had indicated that they were having some kind of trouble with an engine still, obviously so many questions. mike, i want to ask you, though, in terms of this airline itself, it is the largest low cost airline in south korea. but again, obviously incredibly safe. many people have had a great safety record. many people had confidence in flying this airline right. >> that's right. this airline was founded in 2005. it is the largest budget airline in south korea. jeju air, named after the. well, you could say for our viewers in the united states, the hawaii of south korea. beautiful jeju island. so it's a carrier that so many people, paula, would go to idyllic destinations on a budget and not think anything twice of their decision to go on jeju air. a great safety record, nothing in its history like this since it was founded in 2005. so again, that adds to questions that investigators will be

paula. >> yeah, very likely will be as well as obviously a national tragedy unfolding there in south korea. can you give us just some context in terms of this is a low cost airline? obviously many south koreans, for good reason, have great confidence in this airline. the safety record seems to be fine that's right. >> a pretty solid safety record. we want to say in very relative terms, outside of what happened early this morning. so this is jeju air, which is founded in 2005. and no catastrophes of note that would blemish the reputation of this airline. when you live here in south korea, it is an extremely popular choice. it's not a, you know, to put it in conversational, colloquial terms, this is not an airline that people would say, oh, you know, we've got to think about this. quite the opposite. this is an airline that is certainly trusted, a workhorse aircraft. as you've mentioned, the boeing 737 800, not a max aircraft. we also want to point out this is an older version of the 737. so c

paula. >> yeah. mike, in the details that you've just given, obviously incredibly chilling, especially as family members there wait to see if there are more survivors. and despite the video that we're looking at, there are times that many others are able to escape before the entire aircraft is engulfed by those flames that we continue to see there on air. i do want to ask you, though, was there any indication that the landing gear was not down, that they had radioed ahead to say that they were having trouble with this flight? >> we're working on some reporting on that very subject, paula. it does look like there was some sort of emergency signal. i don't want to go into too many details because we don't want, of course, reporting to be wrong after the fact, but that is that is being looked at. it does seem as though there was some sort of radio communication given out towards the end, very end of the flight that something was going on. i don't want to be, you know, vague with the information, verify

paula. >> yeah. and in fact, though he made a point of making those trips and they were indeed consequential, especially for what he intended his legacy to be. marc stewart we will continue to look to that. perhaps some reaction from the chinese government. we'll await that in the next hour. mark stewart, for us, meantime, live from beijing. appreciate your coverage. now, our coverage of the death of jimmy carter continues after a quick break. here. we have a look back at the talks at camp david that changed his presidency and the world. >> and it has been one wild year. >> i know that whole new live stream was crazy. >> what? oh, wait. you mean the rumors about me and the french pole vaulter? who's saying that? is it everybody? >> i have zero idea what you're talking about. >> and you think i'm the one that doesn't follow the news? i did like that one new song about coffee. espresso. >> oh, i'd love one, actually. oh, sweetie, you have been following actual news, right? >> oh, boy. >> new year's eve

i mean, the society is heavily paula rice and especially among the older generations doing so if you don't have support. and i would say if you look at the surveys and most of the south koreans actually support and impeachment against you. so if you're um, i've read like numbers that 7 out of 10 south koreans actually want him out of office. but that still means 3 out of 10. um the still want him to remain the president. so i would say his support is decreasing, but he still has support in just a couple of 100 meters away from me. they are also a big demonstrations to sup, support him magenta song assessment that reported from so thank you very much from the chief executive of a major is us insurance company has been shop dead in new york city, united healthcare, as brian thompson was on his way to an investor meeting at a central manhattan hotel when he was killed and the police are quoting a targeted attack, the shoot as still as launch helicopters hover above central manhattan hilton hotel. now with crime scene, the hotel was sick to host and invest amazing for united health care,

with us now from abu dhabi is cnn's paula hancocks. and paula, i mean, of course, the question is what happens next? who fills this power vacuum? so tell us more about this rebel group that led this coalition to overthrow assad well, amara this particular group is one of a myriad of of rebel groups of anti-assad groups that have been part of this effort. >> it's it's certainly the most prominent group, though. it is a group which several years ago was affiliated with al qaeda. it was affiliated with isis in the past as well but through the the leader of this group abu mohammad al-julani, he has been trying to distance himself from those affiliations saying that that this is a different kind of group that is obviously the concern, though, that it does have this these roots in syria we know, for example, that julani himself has a $10 million bounty on his head from the united states. we know that the group is considered a terrorist organization so it is certainly complex in the extreme. but what we also know is that this is one of the ma

i'm paula newton.e begin with reaction pouring in from around the world to the death of former u.s. president jimmy carter. the carter center says the 39th president was surrounded by family in plains, georgia, when he died sunday at the age of 100. he had been in home hospice care for nearly two years. jimmy carter, known for his dignity and devotion to service, dedicated his life to fighting for human rights and brokering peace in many parts of the world. it was also a key message during his inaugural address. >> i believe america can be better. we can be even stronger than before. our commitment to human rights must be absolute. our laws. fair, our natural beauty. preserved, the powerful must not persecute the weak and human dignity must be enhanced. our nation can be strong abroad only if it is strong at home. and we know that the best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation. >> the american flag is at this hour, flying at half

. >> cnn's paula newton is here with more details. paula, how serious are these threats from canada i mean, they're serious, but you have to keep in mind, boris, look, he's the premier of ontario. >> anything like that would have to be approved by the prime minister himself. having said that, that look, the war of words has started. is that going to lead to a trade war? everyone here in canada is, in fact, prepared for a 25% tariff on many, many things, if not all, exports to the united states. and the prime minister himself. trudeau has been categorical that would be devastating for the canadian economy. but what does it mean? you know, for americans and the whole energy system? i want you to look at some facts. even though premier ford there he was talking about electricity specifically. but if we talk about electricity, we're talking about 84% of all the electricity that the u.s. imports come from canada. but again, boris, it's only about 1% of consumption. when we talk about oil. sure, 60% of the oil that the u.s. imports does com

i'm paula reid in for kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. as tributes are pouring in from around the world and across the country for america's late 39th president. >> my name is jimmy carter, and i'm running for president. >> jimmy carter only served one term in the post watergate era, from 1977 to 1981, but it was consequential and historic. carter was soundly defeated by ronald reagan and his reelection bid. his presidency, clouded by a 444 day hostage crisis in iran and an economy crushed by inflation and oil shortages. at his inaugural address in 1977, carter made his vision clear and global conflicts and serve with humanity. >> i would hope that the nations of the world might say that we had built a lasting peace based not on weapons of war, but on international policies which reflect our own most precious values. >> carter died peacefully at the age of 100 sunday, surrounded by loved ones at his home in plains, georgia. he'd been under hospice home care since february of 2023. president biden designating january 9th, 2025, as a nation

our chief legal affairs correspondent, paula reid, has details for us. paula, this is a stunning reversal from the house ethics committee. >> that's exactly right, wolf. and cnn broke the story that earlier this month, the house ethics committee secretly voted to release the ethics report on the former congressman. >> now we've learned it will be made public after the last vote. it's clear that lawmakers want to be on their way out of town when these new details are revealed. >> yeah, it is a horrible allegation and it is a lie. >> former congressman matt gaetz has repeatedly denied having sex with a woman who was just 17 at the time, an allegation that has been investigated by the justice department and most recently by congress. >> i am the most investigated man in the united states congress back in 2020, the trump justice department opened a criminal investigation into whether the republican congressman had sex with a minor over two years. >> the investigation expanded to look into allegations of sex trafficking, prostitution, obstruction of justice a

paula, how was assad supported by russia and why? what was moscow's interest in what was a very significant presence there? >> absolutely. >> a significant press presence and definitely, as you say, for about a decade now, and russia, in coming to assad's aid. and as you know, becky, it is very doubtful that assad would have been able to hang on and really fought out that syrian civil war the way they did to hang on without russia's help crucially, crucially with its air superiority at stake now though, becky, is russia and two very key assets that it has in syria. that would be an air base. but also the important port of tartus. and it seems in some way, shape or form, becky, that russia is coming to terms with this seismic change in the balance of power that will now happen in the region. and it's interesting because sergey lavrov, as you were just saying, was at the doha forum. certainly he met with his colleagues from both, um, from turkey as well to discuss exactly what was going on. and yet he seemed to have only words and very

let me bring in paula reid. paula, you've been following all of these cases as well. time and again it seems donald trump is escaping his day in court, reaching a final conclusion, a judgment in any of these cases. it's kind of extraordinary. >> it's incredible. jim, i remember two years ago and speaking with trump's lawyers, when it wasn't clear if trump would be facing federal charges, they told me that they were most concerned about what was going on in georgia because, of course, a state level case is outside the scope of a presidential pardon. they said that was a case at that time that concerned them the most. and as you and ali were just talking about at the beginning of this year, then former president trump, he was facing four criminal cases. and of course, he was tried and convicted in new york in the so-called hush money case. but as of now, it's unclear if he'll ever be sentenced in that case, we're currently waiting for the judge. judge juan merchan to rule on a motion to dismiss another effort by the trump team to try to get that conviction tossed based

our thanks to paula hancocks joining us live from abu dhabi. well russia has requested an urgent private meeting of the un security council in the coming hours in response to the collapse of the assad regime in syria. moscow is also concerned for their own assets. still, there specifically military bases and diplomatic institutions state media reports. syrian rebels have guaranteed those will remain safe and that russia hopes for continued dialog. it's unknown how those talks will go given the close relationship between ousted president bashar al assad and russian president vladimir putin. iran's foreign ministry is weighing in on the unfolding events in syria iran, another key backer of assad, says it will respect syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but not without some caveats our interaction with the group that took over syria will depend on their behavior on what policy will they adopt against the islamic republic of iran, what policy will they have against the syrian shiites? >> what will be the distance between them and the zio

and paula, we heard in julie is report just a moment ago. some of the many challenges for mexico, of course, a debt crisis, but importantly, the surgeon violence that the country has seen this year. what plans all the in place so that next year perhaps we can see a coiling of that violence as well as the government states that there has been uh how the volunteer reduction in violence, at least in what the numbers say it. on the other hand, specially said that the us, even if the homicide told is actually going down another kind of violence or searching, or example extortion, the people a right of passage and a lot of other ways about violence are, are so looming. so they still don't know what to do the, the proposal, the closure most proposal we. 1 just to again, the 4 to 5 local police has local police force, but still in the budget. we don't see that happening. we don't see a lot of money going to bed propose. so i believe we will see of things going as being the same. a lot of money and a lot of budget and a lot of power to military force

i want to bring in paula hancocks in abu dhabi. paula, what can you tell us? what is the latest that we are seeing again in this very fast moving situation right now well, omar, it is extremely fast. >> the events that we're seeing unfold at this point in fact, just a matter of hours ago there were text messages going out from the the bashar bashar al-assad's regime's military telling people that they would create calm and stability, that they were in control. and now we see, just a few hours later, a very different situation so events have unfolded very quickly. syrian rebels saying that they are in control of damascus that they have entered damascus, and that bashar al assad is nowhere to be seen. we have not heard from him in some time at this point. so residents in damascus, in fact, across syria, are waking up to a very different reality at this point, as you mentioned there, that the rebels are moving to to place themselves, they say in strategic positions across the the capital. we understand that they are moving to take over the the media as well, the

max kristina okay. >> paula. in abu dhabi thank you so much for that. now coming up the u.s. supreme court considers a tennessee law that bans gender affirming health care for minors. we'll have the details can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life has truly joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much new year's day on cnn. >> i had no idea i was still paying for in-flight wi-fi until i finally checked my credit card statement 14 months and $600 later. that's why i created rocket money, an app that shows you all your subscriptions in one place. see something you no longer want? you can cancel it straight from the app download rocket money today. >> they are trying to shut down this legal loophole to get 100mg generic viagra or 20mg generic cialis delivered to your door for just $0.87 in less than two minutes. do this first, scan the qr code to go to get friday plans.com. then you select if you need generic viagra or cialis. the quantit

paula, this is to a degree unprecedented in the modern era. south korea's been a stable democracy since at least the late 80s, right well, that's right, boris. >> but remember i mean, it is a fairly young democracy in some sense. and there will be many people in korea many of the the older generations, who, when they heard tonight that there was a martial law being declared, would have been transported back just 40 years when this happened, the last time there has been a very bloody and very difficult history for decades under dictatorships and martial laws military coups in south korea. and there was a belief that that was in the past and the democracy was flourishing. so this would have come as a very nasty shock to many who would have lived through those previous martial laws and and many people lost their lives in, in bloody crackdowns when there were protests in the past so it will be a huge shock. i mean, many that i have spoken to over recent hours were questioning what exactly was the reason that president yun sun abbe lowell decided t

cnn chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid is with us now.aula walk us through the stakes here and where you saw the justices seem to be today during this argument. >> well, minors transitioning has become a political hot button issue, right? and today we saw the justices poised unlikely. right. unlikely. they appear to overturn this ban in tennessee that prohibits minors from receiving certain medical treatments. if they want to transition. now teens who have been affected by this the aclu and the biden administration all argue that this ban amounts to unconstitutional sex discrimination. because if you were born a boy and you want access to testosterone treatment, you can get it, but you can't get it if you're born a boy and you want to transition to a girl. now, the state of tennessee says it's not sex based discrimination because it doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl. you can't get this medical treatment to transition. so today, the justices had a lot of questions for both sides. but we were watching really closely some of the poten

hancocks and paula there are a lot of people waking up to this news who probably have been watchingeek of the progress throughout several cities across syria who've never heard of this group so what do we know about them and specifically about the leader of this this group well, victor, it is the group that has really led the charge throughout syria but i have to point out, it's not the only group. >> there are a myriad of different rebel groups that have been part of this effort that are part of the anti-assad, uh coalition loosely termed but certainly hts is the is the most significant one. and abu mohammad al-julani is the the leader of that group, as you've just been hearing from christiane there. the group does have ties or did have ties to al qaeda, to isis al-julani himself does have a $10 million bounty on his head and his group is considered a terrorist organization by the united states. so it's certainly not an easy transition at this point but what we've been seeing from al-julani really over, over recent months and and years is him trying to to soften the stance to softe

it's the worst attack sense as these bar with, as paula took effect last week. these really are me says a targeted rocket launchers and terrorist infrastructure in response to cease fire violations by has fall off. the foreign ministers live around in turkey, so they will resume diplomatic efforts together with russia and the conflict in syria. turkey backs the rebel forces who sees the city of aleppo and a lightning offensive over the weekend. around and russia support the regime. president bush are all a side. reval, advanced march, the most serious development in this area. horses 2020 the syrian army is rushing soldiers and weapons to hum my province in north western syria. it's trying to break the momentum of the insurgents who were moving southward after capturing large parts of it, lived on a level provinces to the north, including a level city which had been under government control for the last 10 years. a serious army chief traveled to the new defensive line and how not to rally the troops. this is our land and our pride. anyone who breaks the law, any

paula, i want to go to you first, though.s what has been happening so far in oral arguments? >> well, pamela right now, history is being made inside the supreme court behind me as chase strangio becomes the first transgender lawyer to argue before the supreme court. he is arguing on behalf of the aclu in support of minors seeking this kind of treatment. now, he followed the solicitor general. so that's the lawyer arguing on behalf of the biden administration who advocated that this tennessee ban amounts to sex discrimination because teens can seek this kind of treatment as long as they are not seeking it to transition. now, some of the conservative justices that they'll need in support of their position appeared skeptical, including chief justice john roberts, who asked why this can't be left to the democratic process suggesting that he is not likely to overturn this ban. justice kavanaugh also echoing some of his concerns. now we have not yet heard from the state of tennessee. they will go next. but we know that in about sev

paula, let me go to you first. we were just listening to what sounded like, by happenstance, a very critical moment in the arguments with justice alito and elizabeth prelogar, the solicitor general going over the the, you know, the risks versus the costs and the benefits of of this gender affirming care for minors. what can you tell us walk us through the case. >> that's exactly right here. the biden justice department arguing that tennessee's ban on allowing minors access to certain forms of medical care if they want to transition is unconstitutional. they argue that, look, if you are born a female, you don't have access to, for example, certain testosterone therapy. but if you're born a male, you can have access to that for other medical reasons. just not to transition. so you heard the justices really pressing the solicitor general on this. also asking about the fact that in europe they have a different perspective on this now. up next, will be a lawyer for the aclu. this is chase strangio. he is the first trans

tomorrow they will be competing against other youngsters from all over really, as well as from so paula it's an important event for alan on it and the other athletes i'm very nervous because i'm worried about the big expectational moment. this is the moment when all the work of the year is celebrated. so all the work that everyone here has done to everyone here is given their off, especially on us, because she really wants to win tomorrow. even though she's pounding the punch in bed, boxing gives her a sense of peace. the big day has arrived. and it starts with music and back. see, are you guys? and couple aware of the brazilian martial arts dance. that also inspires the youngsters. the everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves the then the movie tie boxers into the ring, the it's also an opportunity for allen to again promote his project. finally, things get serious for on a, to the the, but i can't really go on the offensive. she often has to retreat. maybe she's inhibited because she's boxing against a friend. the then comes the bill of to the 2nd round. the site ends in a draw
