. >> welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom." explosions across israel and gaza today. this as israeli officials say negotiations over the remaining hostages has hit a dead end. we'll have a live report on all of the latest. plus, i'll speak to the israeli peace activists and spokespeople for the parent circle about working together amidst the sorrow and findingng strength i grieviving togetheher. plus, , the u.s. announcnce rule to slash methane gas emissions, but is it too little too late? we're live at the cop-28 summit to find out. >> reporter: this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. it is 5:00 a.m. here in atlanta, noon in gaza where israel's bombardment of what it calls hamas targets is in its third day since a truce collapsed. >> the israeli army released footage of its ground, air, and naval operations in gaza. it says an idf drone targeted and killed hamas militants who were close to israeli troops. they say fighter jets and helicopters have been striking hamas installations across gaza, including tunnel shafts, command centers, and weapons storage facilities. israel says 66 israeli soldiers have died during the combat operations, including one on satu saturday. this was the aftermath of a strike in southern gaza and as the fighting intensifies, gaza is urging people to keep moving south, but internet service in gaza has been unreliable and it's not clear gazans are getting the message. u.s. vice president kamala harris in dubai for the u.n. climate conference stressed the need for israel to minimize civilian casualties in gaza. here she is. >> israel said during this week-long truce that negotiations would resumend, an pretty much immediately hostilities resumed. in the first 24 hours, israel said it carried out more than 400 air strikes using fighter jets, helicopters, and also drones, targeting tunnels, weapons storage facilities, and militants themselves inside the gaza strip. there were also rocket barrages fired from the gaza strip towards israeli cities like tel aviv and others in the country and the surrounding area of the gaza strip and now, militarily, people are waiting for a ground operation in the southern part of the gaza strip. prime minister benjamin netanyahu holding a preference on saturday night, saying that israel remained resolute in its determination to destroy hamas militarily, prevent it from ever threatening israeli citizens again, and removing it from power. and of course to get all of those remaining 136 hostages back home. >> we will continue the war until we achieve all its goals and we cannot achieve these goals without the ground maneu maneuvering. >> and either by accident or by design, at the same time netanyahu was speaking, there were thousands of israelis gathering in the unofficially renamed hostages square, continuing to put more pressure on the government to get those hostages all back home. kim? >> meanwhile, all of this is happening, and the u.s. is continuing to push for another truce. are they making any progress? >> it doesn't seem that way right now. as you said in your introduction, negotiations are at a dead end. there are no negotiations going on right now, at least not of the sort we saw prior to this truce, that enabled this truce to take hold. cnn spoke with a senior administration official, saying it is pursuing every effort to secure the release of those remaining hostages. as i said, 136 hostages remaining, 15 women and two children. that for israel seems to be the sticking point, that it said hamas reneged on its promise to release those women and children. of those hostages remaining, israel believes there is one woman and seven men unaccounted for. hamas says that the only women that it's still holding are all idf soldiers. israel denies that and says that all of the men that it's holding are either current or former idf soldiers, as well. but of course, beyond these negotiations, other groups that holding the hostages and it may not be the case that hamas knows where all of these hostages are, kim. >> appreciate the update. eliot gotkin in london. thank you so much. well, the war has claimed the lives of innocent civilians on both sides of the expanding conflict, so as all of this unfolds, members of the parent circle continue to advocate for peace and reconciliation between israelis and palestinians. now, this is a group that no one wants to be part of. it's a joint israeli/palestinian organization of more than 600 family, all of whom have lost an immediate family to the ongoing conflict. and the former directors of the parent circle join me now. rami lost his 14 yeefrld daughter in a hamas bombing in 1997 and he lost his 10-year-old daughter when police shot her in front of her school in 2007. thank you so much for both joining me here. tragically, both of you experi experienced tremendous loss. what went through your head when you heard about the hamas attacks on november 7th? >> i wasas overwhelmlmed, i was devastated.. we had famamily and it was horrible, , but it didn't t cha my mind d a bit. i was s expecting it. you cannot put 2 million people in a box and close the cover and expect that nothing will happen. it blew up in our faces and it was expected. and as the idf bombing campaign in gaza continues and the israeli military expands its ground operation there, what have you been thinking about? >> as he said, it was expected this is our life for 75 years. hamas didn't invent the conflict, the conflict invented hamas. and what about before that. unfortunately, the civilians paying the highest price. you can see more than 15,000 people have been killed since the 7th of october. we said, we need to sit down and talk to each other. because in the end, we must sit down and negotiation. so why we didn't save thousands of lives of innocent people who like us understand these painful feelings when you lose a child, just for nothing. it's a disaster, it's a massacre. it's a mass killing. and for what? in the end, i said, we need to sit down and talk. for hamas, it's to kill 2,000, 2 million people, or end the occupy. why do they continue to occupy on other people's land? >> rami, in israel, there's so much anger because of the hamas attacks, so many people killed and taken hostage, what's your message to those israeli parents who have lost children in the attacks on october 7thth? >> the right to self-defense doesn't give you the right to revenge and my message is very simple. i have no sympathy for hamas. hamas are the killers of my doctor. but i will talk to the devil itself to save one drop of blood. revenge only brings more revenge. those hamas people that created the massacre were kids in 2015 and this is going on. it's an ongoing cycle of violence that never stops and we have the moral authority to tell our two peoples, there is another way, we can talk to each other. look at me, we are calling each other brothers. there is no other way. it will not stop. it will not go away anywhere. all too true. after this attack, there are more kids who have lost homes, who will have lost parents and perhaps radicalized. what would your advice be to them as they go through this horrific experience in gaza? >> accept it's just radicalized. they invest in more hatred and more revenge. and this is what's killing us. unfortunately, those people who lost their parents, they will never meet them again. they ask for justice, means to stop this killing. this is the prize, so people can live in the normal way. in this case, i want to call mr. president, joe biden himself as a father, as a bre reeved father. he knows exactly what we're feeling, as people who have lost their beloved ones. please give our kids, to grow up in peace and security. for both sides, not only israel, to end the israeli occupation and to sign peace agreement. we need to be free. otherwise, unfortunately, we'll continue to fight each other and we said it's possible, it's a good example we can live together side by side, otherwise, we will save as our kids, our family, and we need their support for peace, not to provide like, to support one side unconditionally against the other side. >> as you just exactly said, you are symbols of what can be done when two peoples come together for peace, but there are too few voices like yours. concretely, you have raised some long-term solutions, but right now, as this is going on, how are you work ing to repair that bond? remi, i'll start with you. >> i think it's essential that a cease-fire will start immediately. the long lines of dead children must be stopped. and the negotiations should be started. and of course, something radical must have been changed. the whole issue is about putting the palestinian people aside. the whole issue is about putting the palestinians back in the picture. and they need to have freedom. there will be no freedom for the palestinians without security for the israels, but there will be no security for the israelis without freedom for the palest palestinians this is a big elephant in the center of the room. everyone knows exactly what should be done. this is exactly what should be do done. >> and concretely right now, while this war is going on, how can you work now to get that reconciliation given that there's so much blood and death on both sides. >> as you know, there is not a conciliation under the occupation. a reconciliation should be part of a peace agreement and you know israel's right to make peace when normal relations and would never bring to them peace. only the palestinians can get on to the security of the israelis and they need to cease-fire since 40 years, this will be a very good start for people to start to see each other as human beings and to understand that nothing works with each other. in the end, we need to sit down and talk and we have a very big experience from the past, from the war. we are not from the past. they look at the relations between the europeans, between the states and now they live in peace, because they go through peace and reconciliation process to allow them to appreciate, to live together in democracy and real peace. >> the key there, you said it, seeing each other as human beings. you are both an excellent sample to everyone out there and we hope your voices are heard. thank you so much both for joining me here. >> thank you. well, even though the fighting has resumed, the palestine red crescent society says 100 aid trucks made it through the crossing into gaza on saturday. they said the trucks from egypt carried much-needed food, water, and medical supplies. the egyptian red crescent said some trucks also brought in blankets and body bags. a top red cross official says he's still concerned about meeting the needs of the civilian population as the war ra rages. >> people are living in constant fear of violent death. people are struggling to survive with little food and water because of the resumption of the fighting. and in all likelihood, getting aid inside of gaza will be automatically more challenging. so of course, it's a matter of grave concern to us. >> if you would like information on how you can help, you can go to cnn.com/impact and find a list of vetted organizations that are providing help. that's at cnn.com/impact. still to come, the u.s. outlines plans to significantly cut methane emissions as they make a wave of commitments to combat the climate crisis. we'll have the latest from the summit in dubai next. please stay with us. the biden administration has finalized a rule to significantly cut the oil and gas administration's of methane, a powerful planet-warming gas. the announcement comes amid a wave of commitments in dubai, including a pledge from at least 117 countries to triple renewable energy by the year 2030. cnn's david mckenzie joins me now from dubai. as i say, plenty of pledges to including the u.s. plans to cut methane. what stood out to you? >> reporter: today, it's really important to focus on the health impact of the climate crisis. this is a special day for that, and i'm joined by the head of the world health organization's climate change unit. you know, doctor, i was surprised that this is the first time that this has been a dedicated day for this. >> we are surprised as well. it's cop 28. and that means that the negotiators have been negotiating for 27 years about climate change so they think they've been negotiating about carbon emissions. the message we're bringing, you are actually negotiating about human lives and how many human lives you can save both by preventing the health risk, but saving an awful lot of lives through climate change action. >> more than 6 million people die each year to respiratory issues linked to pollution. that is one aspect of fossil fuel addiction, but what are the directs impact on health? >> the biggest health impact is exactly extreme heat. people die in greater numbers from respiratory illness when it goes up. that's only just one aspect. we also, if you look at infectious diseases, particularly those transmitted by food, through water or by biting mosquitos, climate change makes it easier and easier to transmit those diseases. and ultimately, the real risk we have is climate change is undermining everything that we immediate to provide good health, including things like food systems. >> malaria is one bad example, i guess, of expanding zones for the malaria carrying mosquito, particularly where i'm based in africa. what can be done about this? is it about pressuring leaders to act? >> it is about pressuring leaders to act, but part of a they need to do would save lives now. if we're able to put into place better prevention centers, stronger health systems, that will save an awful lot of lives now and it will also improve resilience to the climate crisis. but the other thing we're encouraging leaders to do is to take actions on the sources of climate change, so fossil fuel pollution as you've just mentioned, because, that is ultimately what's going to guarantee our health and save us. >> tens of millions of health professionals through their organizations are lobbying with the help of the w.h.o to have stronger action. do you think these people who are dealing with the health impacts day-to-day will have their voices heard? >> i think they have to. we've got a 50 million-strong army behind us, because that's the number that's represented by the health organizations that's signed up to this call. that's nurses and doctors in some of the most vulnerable communities. so the ultimate message that we have here is we're here to help. >> thank you very much, doctor. you know, kim, if you look at the impacts of climate change, just with the extreme events, and specifically in cities, the impact of climate change and the climate crisis across the developed world and the developing world, the w.h.o wants to have a greater focus on this as a public health emergency, not just an ecological issue. >> those health impacts affect so many people in so many different ways, david mckenzie in dubai. thanks so much. officials in the philippines say an explosion during a mass inside a gymnasium as killed at least four people and injured more than 40 others. the philippine tth condemned the deadly bombing and blamed it on foreign terrorists. happened on the southern island of mindanao. that region has long been a hotbed of encourage against the philippine government. no group has claimed responsibility so far. residents in the southern philippines are recovering from the shock of a powerful earthquake. the 7.6 magnitude quake rocked mindanao on saturday and sparked several powerful aftershocks. have a look at this. >> it also damaged some buildings, including that grocery store. despite the scary scenes like this, there have been no initial reports of casualties, but the quake did trigger tsunami warnings and small waves were observed as far as japan. authorities say those threats are now over. in paris, the anti-terrorism prosecutor is investigating after a german tourist was killed and two others injured by an attacker wielding a knife and hammering near the eiffel tower. the 26-year-old french national was arrested at the scene. the interior minister said he told police that he was upset about what had been happening in gaza. authorities said he'd been sentenced to prison in 2016 for p planning another attack. the vatican says pope francis' health is improving, but he'll stay indoors to read his sunday address to avoid being exposed to cold weather. officials add the 86-year-old has no fever and is continuing treatment for respiratory issues. as a result, the pontiff canceled his trip to dubai for the cop-28 climate talks. i'm kim brun hhuber. for our viewers in north america, more news in just a moment. for our international viewers, "point of view:south america" is next. in order for small businesses to thrive,

coverage of the israel/hamas war now. israel's bombardment of what it calls hamas targets is now in its third day since a truce collapsed early friday. the israeli army released footage of its ground, air, and naval operations in gaza. an idf target killed hamas militants that were close to troops. fighters and helicopters have been striking hamas installations across gaza, including tunnel shafts and weapons storage facilities. israel says 66 soldiers have died in the combat operations including one killed saturday. this was the aftermath of a strike in southern gaza. the hamas-run health ministry says 193 palestinians have been killed since the end of the tr truce. internet service in gaza has been unreliable and it's not clear gazaens are getting the message. some of the israeli hostages freed by hamas joined a rally in tel aviv on saturday, calling for the release of hostages left beh behind. >> thousands of people showed up to support the rally. they listened to musicians and held up posters of hostages still held in gaza. people also lit candles at a long table with places reserved for hostages. family members shared the pain of waiting to see their loved ones again. >> i'm here every week, to show we are not backing down and want all the hostages back. we want the government to do whatever they need to do in order to bring him and the other hostages back as soon as poss possible. it seems i'm smiling, but only from the outside. on the inside, i'm burning. and really, really, it's a fear and a nightmare for us. the families are still captive, still in gaza. although some of our family members came back to israel this week, at least three of them are here, but two more are still in gaza. and we came here in order to stand with them and fight with them returning to israel as soon as possible. with all the other hostages. >> even though some hostages were released during the truce, the israeli military says 136 remain in gaza, and they say that includes more than a dozen women and children. earlier, cnn spoke about the hostage situation with former israeli ambassador to the u.s., michael oren. here he is. the one key issue is women and children. we claim that they still have at least 13, as many as 17 women and children are held hostage. hamas says they have no more. i would doubt that. you know, i'm not an official spokesman, but i've heard from official sources that there's a fear that they won't let out women who have been raped multiple times so they won't come out and tell about the rapes. and that's going to be very, very painful. israel has to maintain the pressure on hamas. these negotiations happened to begin with only for one reason. and that's because israel ramped up the pressure, the military pressure on hamas. we were able to get these hostages out so far successfully because of that pressure. we have to continue it. and meanwhile, we're witnessing the surreal situations. you know, have just been several of more than 10,000 rocks that have been fired at israel. many of those go literally over my house in southern tel aviv and we have an iron dome right to the east of us and those take out those right above our heads. the iron dome is 90% effective. every hundred that go through, ten come through and land. they knocked out an entire apartment building next to my house a while ago. it's quite deadly. and we have people protesting and demonstrating in support of hostages. i think that encapsulate all the horror of this war. and the terrible decisions that the israeli government has to make. >> thousands marched in paris, demanding an immediate cease-fire in gaza. demonstrators have been marching in large-scale protests every saturday in paris for weeks, drawing attention to the plight of civilians in gaza. with israel defense forces hitting more targets in the enclave, the short-term pause in fighting wasn't nearly enough. listen to this >> it's important to be here today and the humanitarian pause was nothing, it was a joke. it was feeding people to bomb them. and rial has come out and said they'll keep bombing for two more months. it is not okay and we are here to say, we are not going to let this happen, not under our watch. >> still ahead, the latest on the suspect los angeles police have arrested in the murders of three homeless men. that report just ahead. plus, former president trump and florida governor ron desantis canvass for votes in the hawkeye state on saturday with just six weeks left until the iowa caucuses. stay with us. los angeles police say thathat they've arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of three homeless days in the last few days and a fourth homicide in a nearby community. the arrest comes days after they asked for the public's help in identifying a suspect. camilla bernal has the latest. >> police have identified and arrested a los angeles man that they believe is responsible for four different killings in four days. three of them being unhoused individuals. according to authorities, this started last sunday and he killed unhoused individuals both sunday and monday in the early morning hours and then on tuesday, he's responsible for a follow-home robbery and killing the father of two young children. and on wednesday, they say he killed another unhoused individual, but authorities are looking for initially the person responsible for the follow-home robbery and killing and they were able to stop this individual thanks to a traffic stop and they say they were able to arrest him there, but it was days later that they connected the dots and also believe that he was also responsible for the killing of the unhoused individuals. here is what the l.a. chief of police had to say. >> mr. powell's vehicle has been documented as being at the murder scene of all three homicides and his image is similar with the description. >> they're still trying to help evidence that will help an eventual prosecution. that is now the focus. as of now, they say they do not have a motive, but they will continue to work on this case for that eventual prosecution. camilla bernal, cnn, los angeles. donald trump and florida governor ron desantis held dueling campaign rallies in iowa saturday, with just six weeks to go until the iowa caucuses, desantis has traveled to all corners of the state. he's gone to places in iowa that trump is unlikely to visit. the former president meanwhile is repeating his lies about the 2020 election. he's handing out these signs and accusing the democrats of subverting democracy. our opponents, we have a lot of opponents, but we've been waging an all-out war in american democracy. you look at what they've been doing and becoming more and more extreme and repressive. they have just waged an all-out war with each passing day. >> trump encouraged his supporters to go into ballot-counting facilities next year to, quote, guard the votes. cnn's kristen holmes was at saturday's trump rally and has this report. >> reporter: former president trump really delivering his most forceful rebuttal of president biden's argument that a second trump term would be bad for democracy. he made a veiled reference to the speech that biden gave saying that maga republicans and donald trump would be bad for institutions and the country as a whole. listen to some of what donald trump had to say. >> joe biden is not the defender of american democracy, joe biden is the destroyer of american democracy. if joe biden wants to make this race a question of which candidate will defend our democracy, and prekd our freedoms, i say to crooked joe, and he is crooked, the most corrupt president we have ever had, we'll win that fight and we'll win it very big. >> he also at one point said his campaign was a righteous crusade to liberate our republic from joe biden, which raises the question to what exactly is joe biden doing that is anti-democratic. well, the former president had a list of several things, which included forcing people to buy specific cars, went on a long tangent about electric vehicles. at one point, he talked about the first amendment and subpoenaing these social media companies, but the main crux of the argument was really about drmp himself, claiming that president biden is using his administration to come after the former president. this referring to these multiple charges against former president trump, including his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. so really trying to flip this narrative, but again, using an argument that we have heard over and over again from the former president. but i will note, we are just about six weeks out from those iowa caucuses and all polling that we have seen shows trump with a very dominant lead, when it comes to those caucuses. and when we were here at this event, there was an earlier speaker who asked the crowd if anyone had ever -- if this was their first time caucusing, and about half the people here raised their hand to say it was. showing that donald trump still has a lot of support, but even a lot of new support, despite those charges and his ongoing legal problems, here in the state of iowa. >> as kristen said, desantis is trailing badly in the polls, but leaving no stone unturned as he rice to pull off a political miracle in iowa. he's campaigned never one of the state's counties and says it was about more than just drumming up votes. here he is. >> i don't think doing the 99 counties is just about the caucus. yes, obviously we're going to do that to win the caucus, but i think it has significance beyond there. one, by the fact that i'm willing to do this, that should show you that i consider myself a servant, not a ruler. and that's how people who get elected should consider themselves. all right. we'll have a look at the u.s. weather when we come back. snow is in the forecast for parts of the country while some cities are in the midst of a snow drought. we'll explain when we come back straight ahead. stay with us. the pacific northwest could get heavy rain and snow over the next few days, but it's quite the opposite in the northeast, where some cities have gone nearly two years without receiving more than an inch of snow. here's cnn meteorologist alisa rafa with the details. >> some of the cities in the northeast are not only breaking the record, but completely shattering and obliterating it. in new york city, it has been 656 days since they have seen at least 1 inch of snow. the last record for this stretch was 383 days, so almost doubling it. the last time that new york city had more than an inch of snow is back in february of 2022. so again, very significant and it's not just new york. washington, philadelphia d.c., baltimore all taking the top spot for the longest stretch without more than an inch of snow, well over 600 days. richmond virginia tops out the top four on that list, with 684 days. just incredible to see and looking at the forecast, we're not looking at snow anytime soon. some rain in new york city by sunday. temperatures below average through a lot of the extended forecast here. but overall, not really looking at any snowmakers anytime soon. not the case, though, for the pacific northwest. a series of storms will bring heavy rain and snow going through the next several days. we'll find some of this rain and snow really setting up going into sunday. some of that rain could be heavy at times from portland into seattle. you know, a little bit of a break, but again, another storm, train cars on its heels going into monday and tuesday with the heavy rain and the snow setting up. what's happening is, we have an atmospheric river setting up. that's when that jet stream or the path of storminess really just sits over the pacific northwest, really pumping that moisture and storms just one after another, a level 4 out of 5. this could be hazardous, talking about river rises and mud slides. we're looking at some 3 to 7 inches of rain in the lowlands, but up in the high elevations, k could be looking up to 10 inches of rain. where it's cold enough, looking at 2 to 3 feet of snow, so looking at pretty significant snow totals up in the pacific northwest, going through the next several days. the college football playoffs are thrown into chaos on the final weekend of the season. two-time defending champion, the university of georgia, lost for the first time in almost two years. let's bring in carolyn mano live from new york. in any other sport, bar maybe boxing, one loss is just a blip. why is that not the case here? >> what makes college football in the united states unique, there are well over 100 teams competing for this one championship. the problem is, this year, it's only four teams. that's why this matters so much. georgia has been the dominant force in the sport, the two-time defending national champions, and winners of 29 straight games. but they finally met their match saturday against alabama, and quarterback jalen mill roe, who has a really compelling story, he was magnificent, throwing two touchdown passes in the first half alone. they had a ten-point lead in the fourth quarter before georgia started clawing back kendal milton with just under 3 minutes to go, but they would never get the ball back. mill roe, all effort. he had been benched for the first time in his career, earlier in the season and after this game, he was in tears. with the victory, alabama, which was ranked eighth, could actually vault itself into the playoff and that's because the field of four is voted on by this committee. just incredible. the mavericks set an nba record on saturday scoring 38 points against the thunder and still lost this game. dallas getting blown out early in the fourth quarter, when a.j. lawson hit the 3. and seth curry, and donich giving dallas the lead. just in over six minutes, the mavs go from being down 24 to up by 6. after all of this effort, eventually they ran out of gas. the thunder storming right back, outscoring dallas by 15 the rest of the way for the win. just remarkable. >> meanwhile, steph curry and the warriors were in control all night against the clippers. that is until they weren't. paul george draining a step back 3 here, over stepped with 10 seconds to go to give l.a. their first lead of the game as the clippers miraculously rally from 22 down to win by 1. mls playoffs, cincinnati and columbus crew and ohio derby with a spot with the final on the line. their crewdown. rossi finding a life raft here. the uruguayan forward surviving. not just swifing, they are absolutely thriving. 115th minute, cucuy, finding ramirez with a brilliant header and ramirez burying the winner. hosting the defending champs, lafc next saturday. what makes this even more special is that just five years ago, columbus nearly lost the crew to relocation, so now they're one win away from their second title in four years. an incredible story coming around. and they had the spotlight once again. >> yeah, absolutely. all right, thanks so much for that wrap-up, carolyn mano in new york. appreciate it. well, you'll have to have a look at this. a double take as the famous primatologist jane goodall came face to face with her look-alike. her wax facsimile is decked out in the green cam flouflage she e while studying primates. and she says the statue brought back good memories. here she is. >> this reminds me of the time when i used to be able to live in the forest with the chimpanzees. this is how i was dressed, and i always had my binoculars with me. it reminds me of the best days of my life. >> goodall's work shook the definition of what it means to be human. well, if you have an appetite for epic dragon battles, political intrigue, prepare yourself, because "house of the dragon" is coming back. have a look. >> errors were made in the era following king vicerys' death. >> the war before, many will die. and eventually will askrcend th throne. >> a teaser trailer for the show's second season is full of what makes the show so popular for so many people, intrigue, betrayal, secrets, and of course, beautiful people with long white hair. and if you can't wait, too bad, it won't come out until next summer and we just want to disclose this, that hbo is owned by cnn's parent company, warner brothers discovery. and before we go, here's "saturday night live's" cold open on former u.s. representative george santos' expulsion from congress. have a look here. >> you want me to say that i lost? that i'm humiliated? fine. so i'm no longer congressman santos. i'm just regular old professor major general reverend astronaut santos protector of the realm, princess of genovia. "snl" actor bowen yang who played santos in the skit, had a parody of the song "candle in the wind" by elton john. that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom". kim brunhuber. for viewers in north america, "cnn this morning" is next. for the rest of the world, it's "connecting africa." the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. ♪ ♪
