HARTFIELD JACKSON IS THE BUSIEST WITH 1.5 MILLION TRAVELERS OVER CHRISTMAS WEEK. LOS ANGELES AND ORLANDO ROUND OUT THE TOP FIVE WITH THE BUSIEST TRAVEL TIMES FROM 8:00 TO NOON BUT IT'S NOT JUST AIRPORT. HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT A PACKED I-FOUR -- I-4. MILLIONS WILL DRIVE TO THE HOLIDAY DESTINATION WITH THE BUSIEST DAYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE TOMORROW, SATURDAY, THE 23rd, AND THE 28th. A WET STORM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST WITH MILLIONS UNDER FLOOD ALERTS AS THE ROCKIES ARE BRACING FOR HEAVY SNOW. WE HAVE THAT TRACK IN A FEW MOMENTS. >> ON THIS MASSIVE TRAVEL DAY, PLANES AND PASSENGERS WITH AIRLINES, YET AGAIN MANAGING NEAR RECORD NUMBERS. 2.6 MILLION THROUGH TSA CHECKPOINT THURSDAY WITH MORE EXPECT IT TODAY. LONG, BUT MOSTLY FAST-MOVING LINES. >> I'VE HAD NO PROBLEM. >> THE FAA COMMAND CENTER WATCHING EVERY FLIGHT, TOWER, AND WEATHER REPORT. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE HAVE GOOD FINE WEATHER ACROSS MOST OF THE COUNTRY. BIG DELAYS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED WHICH INCLUDES MIAMI, DENVER, PHOENIX, SAN FRANCISCO, L.A., HOUSTON, AND DALLAS. THE DFW CENTER, WITH FIVE TERMINALS, SEVEN RUNWAYS, AND 80,000 BAGS A DAY.

ON A RELATIVE BASIS, NOT THAT MANY CANCELLATIONS. >> FOR MORE ON THAT FORECAST, WITH MILLIONS UNDER FLOOD ALERTS IN THE SOUTHWEST, LET'S GET TO OUR METEOROLOGIST. THAT STORM SYSTEM IS LINGERING OUT WEST, RIGHT? WHEN WILL THAT REGION GET RELIEF? >> LOS ANGELES, SANTA BARBARA, YOU ARE DONE AND OVER WITH AND THE STORM IS HEADING TO ARIZON . IT DOESN'T RAIN LIKE THIS IN ARIZONA VERY OFTEN BUT PHOENIX IS HEAVY RAIN, IT'S RAINED ABOUT AN INCH IN TUCSON TODAY. WE ONLY GET A COUPLE OF RAIN EVENT LIKE THIS EVERY YEAR IN THIS REGION SO WE DO HAVE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. SO, AS FAR AS TRAVEL IN PACKS, AND TOMORROW, FROM PHOENIX, ALL THE WAY TO HOUSTON. THIS IS THE BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT DELAYS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME CANCELLATIONS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE GOING TO BE A PRETTY BIG FACTOR. WE MIGHT HAVE MINOR PROBLEMS IN DENVER IN SALT LAKE CITY AND IN DENVER, CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING, WE HAVE FOUR INCHES OF SNOW. EARLY SUNDAY WE COULD HAVE SOME AIR AND THEN MINNEAPOLIS, WE HAVE RAIN AND STORMS IN NEW ORLEANS. IT'S BEEN WORSE, BUT IT'S NOT PERFECT. >> WHAT ELSE ARE YOU SEEING THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF? >> WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE DRIVING. THIS IS SATURDAY'S MAP, EAST COAST, TOTALLY FINE. WHAT ROADS, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, INTO TEXAS. WE GOT THAT SNOW IN NEBRASKA, TO THE DAKOTAS, NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS. BY THE TIME WE GET TO CHRISTMAS DAY, THAT RAINY DAY, AND IF YOU WANT A WHITE CHRISTMAS? MAYBE IN OMAHA. THE KID MAY BE HAPPY WITH SOME SNOW. >>> WE ARE FOLLOWING MULTIPLE BREAKING HEADLINES TONIGHT IN THE LEGAL BATTLES OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. THE SUPREME COURT DENIED SPECIAL COUNSEL SMITH'S REQUEST FOR AN EXPEDITED, A RECORDED PHONE CALL SHOWING TRUMP PRESSURING REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS NOT TO CERTIFY THE 2020 ELECTION. >> THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, HANDING DONALD TRUMP THE PRACTICAL VICTORY HE WANTED, ON THE LEGAL ISSUE THAT CAN MAKE OR BREAK THE FEDERAL CASE THAT ACCUSES HIM OF PLOTTING TO OVERTURN THE LAST ELECTION. THE HIGH COURT DECLINED THE REQUEST TO ENTER RIGHT NOW WHETHER MR. TRUMP IS IMMUNE TO PROSECUTION. A LOWER COURT CONCLUDED THAT THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT GET A LIFELONG GET OUT OF JAIL FREE PASS. THAT LED PROSECUTORS TO ASK THE SUPREME COURT TO STEP IN, GUARANTEEING A TRIAL DATE FOR MARCH. ALL OF THIS COMES AS THE PROSECUTION IS STRENGTHENING ON A DIFFERENT FRONT, WITH AUDIO RECORDINGS OF TRUMP PRESSING TWO REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS NOT TO CERTIFY THE 2020 ELECTION IN MICHIGAN, TELLING THEM THAT THEY CANNOT LET PEOPLE TAKE THE COUNTRY AWAY. >> HE THANKED ME FOR MY SERVICE AND ASKED ME HOW I WAS DOING. >> WE HAVE NOT HEARD OR VERIFIED THE AUDIO AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN MAINTAINS THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS FOCUSED ON ELECTION INTEGRITY. THE CALL IS ONLY DESCRIBED BENIGNLY BY OFFICIALS OF THE TIME. >> HE HAD NO INFLUENCE. >> BACK TO THAT IMMUNITY, FOR JUST A MOMENT. AN APPEALS COURT IN WASHINGTON IS SET TO TAKE UP THAT ISSUE ON JANUARY 9th. WHOEVER LOSES IN FRONT OF THAT COURT CAN THEN APPEAL ONCE AGAIN TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. >>> FOR MORE ON ALL OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS AND WHAT THEY MEAN FOR THE RACE, LET'S BRING IN OUR PANEL TONIGHT. THERE ARE SO MANY LEGAL AND POLITICAL ISSUE , SO LET'S START WITH YOU. LET'S DISCUSS THIS DECISION, DENYING JACK SMITH'S REQUEST FOR AN EXPEDITED RULING ON THE IMMUNITY CLAIM. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, IT SEEMS LIKE A SETBACK BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR DONALD TRUMP AND HIS LEGAL TEAM? >> IS A HUGE WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE ANY DELAYS WILL ONLY HELP HIM AT THIS POINT. IF THE TRIAL DOES NOT HAPPEN BEFORE THE ELECTION, HE CAN CONTROL THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHICH MEANS THIS COMES UNDER HIS PERSONAL JURISDICTION AT WHICH POINT, ALL OF THESE TRIALS COULD GO AWAY. THAT TRIAL DATE IS NOW IN DEEP JEOPARDY BECAUSE AFTER THAT, THIS MEANS THAT IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THE IS A FINAL DECISION. >> GIVEN THESE DELAYS, EVEN IF THE COURT DOES RULE THAT TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE IMMUNITY, IT'S POSSIBLE TRUMP HAS THE NOMINATION WRAPPED UP BEFORE TRIAL BEGINS, SO POLITICALLY SPEAKING, HOW MUCH OF A WIN IS THIS FOR DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM? >> STEPPING BACK, I THINK THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF LEGAL MACHINATIONS, AND THE KEY PART IS WHETHER OR NOT THIS TRIAL HAPPENS BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION. I THINK THIS PUT THAT IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE HE CAN TAKE CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IF HE'S NOT ON TRIAL AND IS THE PRESIDENT. IT IS A LOT OF BACK-AND-FORTH RIGHT NOW AND THE KEY IS WHETHER HE WILL BE ON TRIAL AND WHILE THE NOMINATION IS STILL TO BE HAD AND THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. >> SO LET'S TURN TO THESE RECORDINGS OUT OF MICHIGAN. A LOT OF PEOPLE REMEMBER IMMEDIATELY THE PHONE CALL THAT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP. THAT BECAME A CENTRAL PIECE, THEY SAID THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY DID NOT FEEL PRESSURED TO CHANGE HOW SHE WAS VOTING. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT CALL? IS THERE SOME SORT OF WINDOW FOR THAT TO POSSIBLY BECOME PART OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL? >> THERE IS A POSSIBLE WINDOW ANYTHING THAT TRUMPS DEFENSES ACROSS ALL OF HIS LITIGATIONS IS THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN INTIMATELY INVOLVED, HE IS TOO BUSY. THIS SHOW SOMETHING DIFFERENT, ALLEGEDLY IN THOSE DETAILS. IS IT A SMOKING GUN? I DON'T THINK SO. HE REALLY BELIEVED THAT HE WAS THE PRESIDENT, SO WITH FRAUD, YOU NEED TO PROVE THAT HE DID KNOW AND WENT AGAINST IT BUT I DON'T THINK THIS PHONE CALL SHOWS THAT. >> SO HE SAID IN A COUPLE OF STATEMENTS HE WAS MAKING THE CALL BECAUSE HE CARED ABOUT ELECTION INTEGRITY, DO YOU THINK THAT'S THEM ALREADY LAYING THAT DOWN WORK? >> ABSOLUTELY. IT WILL BE BUNDLED UP WITH QUESTIONS OF IMMUNITY BEFORE YOU GET TO THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT HE HAD ANY CRIMINAL LIABILITY AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WEATHER THOSE WERE PRESIDENTIAL ASK. I BELIEVE THAT THE CIRCUIT COURT WILL LIKELY ADDRESS THIS. >> SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE 2024 OUTLOOK BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT ALMOST ANY THING, IT'S CLEAR THAT HE'S NOT JUST AHEAD, HE IS CRUSHING THEM DESPITE 91 CRIMINAL COUNTS AGAINST HIM. ANYTHING THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT NOW, DOES ANYTHING MOVE THE NEEDLE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? YOU SEE THEM NOT HAVE STRONG POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS FOR ANY OF THESE CASES, BUT IT DOES PUT THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO BE THE NOMINEE INSTEAD OF HIM IN A DIFFICULT POSITION BECAUSE OF THE COLORADO RULING AND OTHER REPUBLICANS COMING OUT TO DEFEND THE FORMER PRESIDENT. WHAT SORT OF IMPACT COULD THIS HAVE ON THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN GENERAL? >> YEAH, THE COLORADO RULING, WHEN TIME AND ATTENTION IS A PREMIUM LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW, LESS THAN 30 DAYS UNTIL VOTERS START IN IOWA, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONTRAST YOUR OPPONENTS. WHEN YOU ARE FORCED TO DEFEND, THE RULING IT TAKES TIME AND ATTENTION AWAY AND IT TAKES UP THE ACTIONS OF TRYING TO GET ANY SORT OF MOMENTUM AND NIKKI HALEY SEEMS TO BE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE IN SOME POLLS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. SO, SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, AND HE TAKES ALL THE ACTION OUT OF THE GROUP AND FORCES OTHERS TO RESPOND AND PLAY ON HIS TERMS. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE CASES, IF YOU ARE PART OF HIS LEGAL TEAM, WHICH ONE ARE YOU MOST FOCUSED ON OR WORRIED ABOUT? >> I THINK THAT THIS IS A BIG CONCERN BECAUSE THAT JUDGE WAS COMMITTING TO HAVE IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MARCH 4th IS LIKELY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE TRIAL WON'T STILL HAPPEN OVER THE SUMMER. MAYBE THOSE IMPLICATIONS ARE THE BIGGEST, AND I THINK THAT THE IMPLICATIONS COULD ALSO GO FARTHER TO ALL OF HIS OTHER CASES SO THAT IS WHAT I WOULD BE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT. >> THANK YOU. >>> NOW, THE MIGRANT CRISIS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS CROSSING INTO THE U.S. THIS WEEK ALONE. OFFICIALS ARE STRUGGLING TO COPE WITH THE HORRIFYING NEW VIDEO WITH TWO MIGRANTS DROWNING AS THEY TRIED TO CROSS THE RIO GRANDE. >> TONIGHT, CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ARE OVERWHELMED BY AN UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF MIGRANTS CROSSING THE SOUTHERN BORDER PAID 50,000 UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS CROSSED IN JUST FOUR DAYS THIS WEEK, SHATTERING RECORDS NEVER SEEN BEFORE. PUSHING BORDER STATIONS PAST CAPACITY AND IN EAGLE PASS, TEXAS, MIGRANTS CROSSED DANGEROUS WATER AND WEIGHED BY THE HUNDREDS -- WAIT BY THE HUNDREDS. IN ARIZONA, DROPPING OFF MIGRANTS TO FREE UP SPACE. THIS SINGLE MOTHER SAYS SHE WANTS TO GET A FAMILY IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND SAYS LIFE WAS TOO DANGEROUS. WE CANNOT WORK, THERE'S TOO MUCH VIOLENCE, SHE TELLS US. MIGRANTS FROM AFRICA, CHINA, SOUTH AMERICA, YOUNG AND OLD, WITH OFFICIALS TELLING US THAT DROPPING OFF MIGRANTS LIKE THIS IS A LAST RESORT. MIGRANTS RECEIVE HELP FROM NONPROFIT, PAID FOR BY THE COUNTY, TO SHELTERS IN TUCSON. THE DIRECTOR OF NONPROFIT SAYS THEY NEED MORE HELP OR MIGRANTS COULD BE LEFT LOST AND HOMELESS. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS ARE SET TO TRAVEL TO MEXICO TO TALK ABOUT THAT RECORD MIGRATION. >> THIS IS BEEN THE CASE SINCE WORLD WAR II. SMACK THE BORDER CRISIS HAS LED TO MORE MIGRANT DEATHS. THIS VIDEO, CAPTURED JUST BEFORE TWO YOUNG MIGRANTS SANK UNDER MUDDY WATER AT THE TEXAS BORDER AND DROWNED. THOUSANDS ARE CONTINUING TO ARRIVE, OVERWHELMING AND ALREADY BROKEN SYSTEM. >> WHAT ARE OFFICIALS TELLING YOU IS THE REASON BEHIND THESE MIGRATION NUMBERS? >> THERE ARE DEFINITELY MULTIPLE REASONS DRIVING THESE NUMBERS, AND THERE'S AN UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF PEOPLE DISPLACED BECAUSE OF CONFLICT, CLIMATE CHANGE, WITH POVERTY AND VIOLENCE. THEY'RE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN FOR MIGRANTS OR TRUMP IS ELECTED AGAIN, THAT FEAR IS DRIVING SOME MIGRANTS TO COME BACK TO SAY THAT NOW IS THE TIME TO COME AND OFFICIALS DO EXPECT NUMBERS TO STAY HIGH. THEY DID DIP SLIGHTLY YESTERDAY FROM A RECORD 12,000 TO 11,000, BUT THAT'S BY NO MEANS OUT OF THE WOODS AND YES, THEY ARE WORRIED THAT THESE NUMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO STAY HIGH. >> AND I DO WANT TO ASK ABOUT ANOTHER VIDEO, DISTURBING VIDEO FROM THE U.S. BORDER THAT APPEARS TO SHOW TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD SOLDIERS IGNORING CRIES FROM HELP -- CRIES FOR HELP FROM A MOTHER AND HER INFANT CHILD AS THEIR SWIMMING THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE. >> WE WILL KEEP SHOWING THIS VIDEO SO THAT VIEWERS CAN SEE THE EXTENT OF THE VIDEO WE HAVE PAID YOU HEAR HER CONTINUE TO SCREAM. SHE IS SCREAMING FOR HELP. WHAT IS THE TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD SAYING ABOUT THIS LEXI >> THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY STOOD CLOSE BY AND MONITORED AND THAT THEY DID NOT SEE SIGNS OF DISTRESS. NATIONAL GUARD HAS HISTORICALLY HAD A VERY DIFFERENT LINE FOR DISTRESS AND THE NEED FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION AND FEDERAL AGENTS AND CUSTOM AND BORDER PROTECTION. WE SAW THAT THE SUMMER WHEN SOME SAID THAT THEY WERE LEAVING PEOPLE AND EXTREME TEMPERATURES, DEHYDRATED, PASSING OUT. WITH SKIN LACERATIONS AS THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE RAZOR WIRE. WE ARE REPEATEDLY SEEING THE TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD DRAW A TOUGH LINE ON THIS AND WE DO KNOW THAT THIS WOMAN DID GET TO SAFETY, SHE SWAM BACK TO THE MEXICAN SIDE OF THE BORDER AND IS -- THIS IS RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT IS THERE TO CARRY OUT FEDERAL POLICY AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE KNOW THE TEXAS GOVERNOR WANTS MORE OF AN EFFORT HE JUST SIGNED A BILL INTO LAW THIS WEEK SAYING THAT THEY WILL DO MORE OF THAT. >>> OVERSEAS, TO THE DEADLY MASS SHOOTING IN PRAGUE. THE ATTACK, THE DEADLIEST MASS SHOOTING IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC WE ARE SEEING FIRSTHAND THE POLICE RESPONSE AND LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE VICTIMS. >> YOU CAN HEAR THE TERRIFYING MOMENTS AS A GUNMAN OPENED FIRE WITH A RIFLE, SETTING OFF THE MASSACRE. POLICE, RUSHING INSIDE, RELEASING BLURRED BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE AS THEY CLEARED THE CHARLES UNIVERSITY BUILDING FLOOR BY FLOOR. AUTHORITIES SAY THAT THE GUNMAN WAS A 24-YEAR-OLD STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY AND THAT HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE HE ACTED ALONE, KILLING HIS OWN FATHER EARLIER THAT DAY. AMONG THE DEAD, THE HEAD OF MUSIC AND THE CZECH NATIONAL NEWSPAPER SAYS A FIRST-YEAR STUDENT WAS KILLED AS WELL. TONIGHT, THE DIRECTOR SAYS THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY IS DEEPLY SHAKEN, HOLDING OFF ON TEST. AS THE SUN SETS, THE CROWD AROUND THE MEMORIAL CONTINUES TO GROW. >> I THINK THEY JUST NEED TO BE HERE. WE NEED TO BE TOGETHER. >> NOW, FROM PRAGUE. WE SAW THE GROWING MEMORIAL OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY. WHAT HAVE WE HEARD FROM THE COUNTRY'S LEADERSHIP DURING THIS INCREDIBLY TRAGIC TIME? >> THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED A NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING TOMORROW AND THEY HAVE ASKED PEOPLE NOT TO FOCUS ON THE KILLER AND HIS CRIMES SO AS NOT TO INSPIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO CARRY OUT A SIMILAR CRIME. THEY ARE REVIEWING, BUT THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT IS GRIEVING. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, THEY SHOULD BE CELEBRATING AND INSTEAD, THEY WILL BE BURYING THEIR DEAD. >> UNDERSTANDABLY SO MANY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SHOOTER AND ARE WANTING TO UNDERSTAND WHY HE DID THIS AND HOW TO PREVENT IT DOWN THE ROAD. ONE THING WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT IS THE GUNMAN'S POSSIBLE TIES TO ANOTHER KILLING. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT? >> THAT'S RIGHT. POLICE BELIEVE THAT HE WAS CONNECT DID, OR RESPONSIBLE TO THE KILLING LAST WEEK IN A FOREST JUST OUTSIDE PRAGUE, A DOUBLE MURDER WHERE A FATHER AND HIS TWO-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER WERE KILLED. POLICE HAVE SEARCHED THE GUNMAN'S HOME AND TURNED UP A BALLISTIC EVIDENCE THAT MATCHES EVIDENCE FROM THE CRIME SCENE IN THE FOREST AND THEY ARE FURTHER INVESTIGATING. >>> NOW, TO THE LATEST IN THE ISRAEL HAMAS WAR. WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT THE FIRST KNOWN DEATH OF AN AMERICAN HOSTAGE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY HAMAS AS THE SECURITY COUNCIL PASSED A RESOLUTION TO CALL FOR MORE ASSISTANCE TO GAZA. >> WE'VE LEARNED IN AMERICAN HOSTAGE WILL NOT BE COMING HOME, AND ISRAELI-AMERICAN, SHOT DURING THE ATTACK. WHEN HE DIED IS UNCLEAR. THAT TRAGIC NEWS WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY AS NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES HAVE APPARENTLY STALLED. >> AFTER A WEEK OF DELAY, THERE WAS A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR CONDITIONS OF A CESSATION OF HOSTILITY, NOT A FULL CEASE-FIRE AND AN INCREASE IN HUMANITARIAN AID FOR GAZA. THESE ARE THE FIRST PICTURES, PASSING THROUGH THE NEWLY OPENED BORDER CROSSING. 80 TRUCKS A DAY MOVE THROUGH, STOPPING HERE FOR INSPECTIONS. THAT FOOD, WATER, AND MEDICINE MOVES THROUGH INTO GAZA. >> IN TERMS OF FOOD, THE RESERVES AREUFFICIENT IN GAZA. THE IMAGES COME UP CHILDREN WAITING.

THE HUNGER CRISIS IN GAZA IS CATASTROPHIC WITH MORE THAN 500,000 CLASSIFIED AS STARTING AND STRUGGLING TO FIND DRINKABLE WATER. NOW, ON THE BRINK OF FAMINE. >> NOW, FROM JERUSALEM. THE IDF CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO FOOD SHORTAGE. WE ARE SEEING VIDEOS OF LINES OF PEOPLE WAITING TO GET READY. I'VE SPOKEN TO PEOPLE WHO TALKED ABOUT GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND VEGETABLES OR ANYTHING. WHAT SORT OF EVIDENCE DOES THE IDF HAVE TO SUPPORT THAT? >> WE PUSHED ON THEM, THEY WOULD NOT ANSWER DIRECTLY. THERE MIGHT BE SOME CAPACITY OR DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM, AND I ASKED IF THE CEASE-FIRE MIGHT HELP AND THEY WOULD NOT TALK AT ALL ABOUT ANY POSITIVE FIGHTING. >>> STILL AHEAD, STATE OF EMERGENCY.

SO, THESE COME WITH SUCH A HIGH PRICE. DOES THAT MEAN WE MIGHT SEE EVEN MORE OF THESE OFF LABEL VERSIONS? >> I THINK THAT'S LIKELY AND I THINK A LOT OF MANUFACTURERS AND REGULATORS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, THEY SAID THAT THIS DRUG IS HELPFUL AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PRESCRIBE IT MORE BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE. THEY COST ABOUT $1000, SO DOCTORS NEED TO SEE MORE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS GET APPROVED AND REGULATED OR MORE INSURANCE COMPANIES NEED TO APPROVE THES , OTHERWISE THEY WORRY YOU MIGHT SEE MORE FAKES AND DANGEROUS ALTERNATIVES. >>> WHEN WE COME BACK, A HOLIDAY TRAGEDY OVERSEAS SECURITY CAMERA CAPTURING THE MOMENT A TREE CRASHED IN ASED TO COLLAPSE AND SAY THAT A STORM WITH STRONG WIND POSSIBLY CAUSED IT TO TOPPLE. >>> TO A DIRE WARNING, WITH AN AGENCY SAYING MILLIONS IN SUDAN ARE AT RISK AFTER THE DEADLY CIVIL WAR.
