ROSEMARY CHURCH, CNN ANCHOR: Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States and all around the world. I'm Rosemary Church.

U.S. Senators are preparing to reconvene in the coming hours after taking a major step toward ending the weeks-long government shutdown. They voted to break a Democratic filibuster on government funding legislation. Senate Republican Leader John Thune says he hopes the bill passes early this week.

It will still have to go to the House for a vote before heading to the U.S. President's desk. A group of Democrats and one Democratic-aligned Independent agreed to reopen the government in exchange for a future vote on extending Obamacare subsidies. The measure extends government funding through the end of January, it also reverses President Trump's mass firings of federal workers during the shutdown, and would ensure food stamps are funded through fiscal year 2026.

Some Democrats are slamming the deal, including Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY), U.S. SENATE MINORITY LEADER: This fight will and must continue. Democrats must fight because millions of families will lose healthcare coverage.

We must fight because children who are dying of cancer will not get healthcare coverage. We must fight because a senior citizen cannot afford to pay $25,000 a year just for health insurance. We must fight to keep millions from financial ruin.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHURCH: Senator Thune is vowing to hold a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies by the second week of December. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. JOHN THUNE (R-SD), U.S. SENATE MAJORITY LEADER: There's been a lot of talk over the last several weeks on both sides of the aisle about the healthcare crisis in this country, and I'm thankful to be able to say that we have senators, both Democrat and Republican, who are eager to get to work to address that crisis in a bipartisan way. These senators are not interested in political games. They're interested in finding real ways to address healthcare costs for American families.

We also have a president who is willing to sit down and get to work on this issue. And so I'm looking forward to seeing what solutions might be brought forward.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHURCH: CNN's Manu Raju is following the latest developments from Capitol Hill.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MANU RAJU, CNN CHIEF CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The longest government shutdown in American history now is coming to an end to the relief of so many Americans who have been hurt in different ways by this very damaging standoff of 40 days. It could take another couple of days before it finally becomes law, but a bipartisan deal led to a breakthrough that now will end this bitter impasse.

Now, remember, this all started after Democrats insisted that healthcare premiums must be addressed in any sort of negotiation to reopen the government, and they have leverage in the United States Senate. It requires 60 votes to re, to pass any leg, piece of legislation, and there are 53 Republicans, 47 Democrats. One Republican consistently voted against it, meaning eight Democrats was the magic number to get to.

And for 14 times, Democrats blocked a Republican bill to reopen the government because they wanted an extension of expiring subsidies under the Affordable Care Act because millions of Americans rely on those, and they say that their healthcare premiums will skyrocket without a plan to extend those. Republicans were opposed to that plan and did not want to negotiate at all with them over this issue until the government was reopened.

Ultimately, there were some negotiations that happened in the rank- and-file, and that led to a deal on Sunday evening. As part of that deal, the government would reopen up until January 30th.

Also, it would prevent Trump administration officials from firing -- doing mass firings of federal employees. It would allow some federal employees who were fired in the past to get their jobs back. But it does not include language to extend those subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Instead, those ACA issue will be dealt with later as a separate vote. Democrats won an assurance from the Senate Republican Leader John

Thune to schedule a vote by the second week of December on an ACA- specific bill, an Affordable Care Act-specific bill. But there is no guarantee that that will become law. In fact, it is almost certain not to become law. It probably won't pass the Senate, much less the Republican-led House, or get signed into law by Donald Trump.

[03:05:09]

So a lot of Democrats are upset with their colleagues for cutting this deal, including Hakeem Jeffries, House Democratic Leader, who plans to fight this in the House. The Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer also opposes this plan, as well as Senator Brian Schatz, who is poised to be the next second-ranking Democrat in the next Congress.

But there were enough Democrats, room appropriators, some retiring senators and the like who decided it was time to reopen the government, and they believe that they fought hard enough and it was time to move on. And this is the best deal they were going to get as so many Americans were facing the prospects of food stamps drying up, already facing that happening, and now this deal would extend food stamp benefits through part of 2026.

So some relief there for people who need that, and also relief for so many federal employees, hundreds of thousands who are without paycheck, have been furloughed, but now can go back to work once this eventually becomes law. The House does need to come back into session and finally pass this bill. They have been out of session since September 19th amid this crisis.

But they'll finally be coming back to work in the Capitol, giving a green light to this issue after Democrats, some of them relented, cut a deal, and now the government could reopen in just a matter of days.

Manu Raju, CNN, Capitol Hill.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

CHURCH: Democrats had been united in their push to extend healthcare subsidies, but eight members of the Senate Democratic Caucus broke with their party to support the Republican plan to end the shutdown. And that step across the aisle comes without a guarantee of healthcare subsidies, angering Democrats who say Americans want them to continue the fight.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. MAGGIE HASSAN (D-NH), VOTED THE DEAL TO END THE SHUTDOWN: The real question is why would a president of the United States pit hungry children against sick children? And that is what President Trump has done.

I mean, this is outrageous. We can't reach agreement on government funding, so the government shuts down, and even though the law is clear that he could fund SNAP benefits during a shutdown, he did not. And then he also said, "And by the way, I don't really care if

people's health insurance premiums get so high they can't afford their care." That's on Donald Trump.

My vote today was to do two things, both equally morally im- important and imperative. One is to make sure that the government is functioning so that our kids eat, so that our elderly citizens eat, so that our air traffic controllers can get some sleep and earn money, get paid while they are working, so that our veterans are protected, and continue the fight to a realistic platform to get the premium tax cuts done. And if that is not successful, then shame on the Republican Party and shame on Donald Trump.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT): I know as part of this resolution that the majority leader's going to say, "Well, Democrats can create, put together their own bill and it'll come to the floor here in the Senate for a vote." As everybody here knows, that is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here in the Senate, won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up, and the President of the United States certainly will not sign it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHURCH: Joining me now is Natasha Linstadt, Professor of Government at the University of Essex. I appreciate you being with us.

NATASHA LINDSTADT, PROF. OF GOVERNMENT, UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX: Thanks for having me.

CHURCH: So, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history could be coming to an end after Democrats and the Senate joined Republicans to advance a bipartisan deal to extend government funding until the end of January in exchange for extending food benefits and getting federal workers paid again. But many Democrats are furious, some seeing this as a capitulation. But what choice did they actually have, given where this was clearly going?

LINDSTADT: Right, it's a good question, and I don't know if the Democrats had a lot of options available to them. They had just had a fantastic day with, you know, big wins in New Jersey for the governorship and, and Virginia and there were other local elections where they had big wins as well, and it didn't really seem to affect Donald Trump's behavior.

His reaction was not, "Well, maybe this is time to negotiate. We can see the writing is on the wall that my policies are not that popular," and instead, he was really doubling down and becoming more bold and more aggressive with the idea that, you know, his policies are the way it's going to be and it's his way or the highway, and he's talking about trying to end the filibuster.

[03:10:08]

Now, many were saying, "Okay, this is impossible. This is never really going to happen," but of course, there are so many norms that have been shattered since he has been President that anything really is possible. And so, I think the Democrats were sensing that Donald Trump was never going to allow the Republicans to negotiate on this, even as it was causing loads and loads of pain to the American public.

The other issue is though the Democrats supposedly had the advantage in terms of polling, that more Americans were blaming Republicans than Democrats, it was still very tight. I mean, a recent YouGov poll showed that while 32 percent blamed the Democrats for the shutdown and 35 percent blamed Republicans, 28 percent blaming both parties equally, it wasn't as if Democrats had the clear support from the public on this, and it was causing loads and loads of pain for those workers who were not getting paid.

And so particularly for someone like Tim Kaine, the Democratic Senator from Virginia, that was affecting his constituency, and you can see how this was all factoring into their calculations.

CHURCH: Right, and of course, this bipartisan deal was made in exchange for a future vote on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, but what do you expect the Democrats will get out of that December vote in the end?

LINDSTADT: I mean, I don't think they are going to get anything out of it. I think Senator Bernie Sanders is correct, that there's no way that they can get this passed. It's going to be dead when it goes to the Senate, and so this is going to be a major cause for concern for the Democrats, and that's why let's just say the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party is really upset with the fact that they capitulated, that this was the one issue that they were trying to support.

They know that millions of Americans are going to see their healthcare costs go up by 75 percent, and, and this is going to be incredibly costly on top of all the other cost of living issues that many Americans are facing. So, they felt that they really needed to dig their heels in on this one issue and not cave in but in the end, there were other factors, not just that federal workers have been furloughed, but also as the report mentioned, the Americans that are affected by the loss of the SNAP benefits. So it was really putting Democrats in a hard place here deciding as was mentioned, between feeding hungry children and supporting children in need of healthcare.

CHURCH: And Natasha, how likely is it that we'll see another government shutdown at the end of January when this extension of funds expires?

LINDSTADT: I mean, I would expect that we will see another government shutdown because that is Donald Trump's style of politics. It's really pushing everything to the brink.

So, because politics is also so polarized in the U.S., this is another factor, but he doesn't want to negotiate anymore, he sees that he can just push things and he doesn't seem to really care what is going on elsewhere. And we saw this with the whole SNAP benefits issue that, that he preferred not give out these SNAP benefits and pushed it to the Supreme Court to decide. And so when politics really gets to this kind of level where it's just

there's really no negotiation and you have to do what I want to do and it is my agenda , then we are likely to see another shutdown. And so I wouldn't be surprised if we're back here, talking about the same things in January.

CHURCH: Natasha Linstadt, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your perspective on this matter. I appreciate it.

LINDSTAEDT: Thanks for having me.

CHURCH: Well, as the shutdown appears to be coming to an end, people receiving SNAP benefits are still in limbo. The U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered states to stop issuing full food assistance payments Saturday following a Supreme Court ruling.

Instead, the USDA is telling states to only issue partial payments for 65 percent of what recipients are allotted. They also ordered states to undo any full payments they already sent out. This latest directive comes after a lower court's Friday order for the federal government to fund SNAP.

After that ruling, some states immediately sent out payments. Maryland's Democratic Governor Wes Moore said Sunday that there's no clarity at all in the guidance and that the administration is causing intentional chaos.

Well, travelers are hoping the new deal will help improve air traffic delays. These are pictures from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport here in Atlanta as delays and cancellations are ongoing. Over the weekend, thousands of flights were either delayed or outright canceled due to staffing shortages and a mandated cut ordered by the FAA.

[03:15:01]

According to tracking website FlightAware, travel disruptions are already being reported today and travelers are feeling the pain.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNKNOWN: Unfortunately, we're not going to be heading back to Atlanta right now. We are all going to get off the airplane. I don't know how long that delay is going to be --

So everybody needs to take all of your stuff with you in case this isn't the plane we end up back on our way to Atlanta tonight.

UNKNOWN: Hey. Here's the altitude. I have to go on the aircraft.

The flight pilot just told me he timed out.

UNKNOWN: So just heard that announcement. The pilot just timed out. We're not getting home tonight.

(END VIDEO CLIP) CHURCH: CNN's Leigh Waldman has more now from New Jersey.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LEIGH WALDMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's a record-setting Sunday across the country. Thousands of flights canceled or delayed. That's the most since the FAA mandated those flight reductions in place and we can see it reflected here on the big board.

Most of the flights here canceled or delayed here at the Newark Liberty International Airport. Hundreds of passengers being impacted yesterday. On Saturday, we saw a lot of patience. Sunday, today, that patience is wearing thin.

People upset, wondering how they're going to get to work on Monday, but also worried about what the next few weeks will hold and if they'll be able to make their Thanksgiving plans. But there's some sympathy for the TSA and other employees who are being drastically impacted by this ongoing shutdown. Take a listen.

UNKNOWN: It's really unfortunate to them and, you know, at the end of the day, everyone here, we're all in the middle. Like I know the flight attendants, they don't get paid unless they're in the air.

So with all these cancellations, I mean, it's not just governmental employees that are suffering. Like it's, you know, there's all this trickle-down effect and just people in Washington can't agree on something.

WALDMAN: It's a perfect storm of events. Not only the FAA-mandated flight reduction in place, but there's weather happening across the country and those ongoing staffing shortages for the air traffic control centers, including the one that monitors the airspace here.

Leigh Waldman, CNN, Newark Airport.

CHURCH: We're now one month into the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement, but questions remain on when the deal will hold. We'll go live to Jerusalem for the latest. That's just ahead.

And South Korea's former president faces new charges in connection with an alleged insurrection. We'll have details on that just ahead too.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[03:20:00]

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

CHURCH: It's now one month into the first phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Israel still awaits the return of all hostages which Hamas is required to do under the first phase of the agreement. In Tel Aviv, Israelis continue to protest their government's handling

of the war and the hostage situation. Meanwhile in Gaza, aid has resumed flowing into the enclave since the ceasefire took effect, but the scale of need eclipses what can be provided at the moment. A United Nations agency warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families are at risk of facing a winter without protection from the elements.

CNN's Oren Liebermann joins us now live from Jerusalem. Good morning to you, Oren. So one month into the first phase of this ceasefire, where do things stand and is this holding?

OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN JERUSALEM BUREAU CHIEF: Rosemary, you're right, that on October 9th, the U.S. announced that the ceasefire would go into effect and end nearly two years of fighting at that point, and we have seen it hold. It has been tested. Twice in October it was severely tested, and yet the ceasefire has proven durable and resilient.

We're still in the first phase of the ceasefire, technically here, as Hamas continues to transfer the remains of deceased hostages to Israel, and we have seen that process continue. In fact, over the course of the last week or so, there have been five separate transfers, including over the weekend, the return of the remains of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, the longest-held hostage in Gaza, who was killed during the 2014 Israel-Hamas conflict.

His remains have now been returned to Israel, and that leaves the remains of four deceased hostages still held in Gaza. That effort is ongoing, even as it has dragged out far beyond the time initially allotted in the ceasefire.

The U.S. has clearly shown its interest in this holding and in this process continuing, and we saw that from the very beginning, not only the visit of President Donald Trump, but also Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and more, coming here to make sure that the ceasefire holds, and that continues with U.S. envoys Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner visiting to make sure this process continues.

But now it comes with a far more difficult phase two, and the U.S. is still working here. This requires a mandate for and the creation of an international stabilization force to secure Gaza and to disarm Hamas. The U.S. is working on a mandate at the United Nations Security Council to try to create the framework for this, but it has proven difficult and the countries that should be involved, the Arab and Muslim states that are supposed to make up the force on the ground, they voice some of their own reservations.

Still, the fact that we have seen the ceasefire hold to this point is an indication of not only how much the U.S. wants it to hold, but how much the international community sees as the critical nature of the ceasefire itself. And that's why, Rosemary, a month later we're in this situation where even if the ceasefire isn't finished and all of the conditions haven't been implemented, that process is ongoing.

CHURCH: Oren Liebermann in Jerusalem, many thanks for that live report. I appreciate it.

In the hours ahead, Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is set to visit the White House, the first Syrian head of state ever to do so. Earlier this year, he met with President Trump in Saudi Arabia. The U.S. President subsequently directed the easing of U.S. sanctions on Syria.

Now the U.N. Security Council has voted to lift sanctions on the Syrian President as well.

[03:24:59]

Mike Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., praised the passing of the U.S. drafted resolution, and the U.S. has since removed al-Sharaa's status as a specially-designated global terrorist. The dropping of sanctions marks a real reversal of fortune for al-Sharaa, a former jihadist who once led Al-Qaeda's official wing in Syria.

Well former South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol is facing new criminal charges. Prosecutors accuse him of trying to provoke a military conflict with North Korea last December to justify his short- lived declaration of martial law. Yoon was impeached and removed from office after his failed martial law declaration.

Now authorities say he ordered a covert drone operation into North Korea to increase tension between the two countries. Yoon has repeatedly said he never intended to impose military rule in South Korea, but declared martial law to raise awareness of wrongdoing by opposition parties. Right now, Yoon is standing trial on insurrection charges, he could face the death penalty if convicted.

Still to come, the U.S. Senate takes a step towards reopening the government. We will tell you what's next in the journey to end the longest shutdown in American history.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[03:30:10]

CHURCH: Welcome back to "CNN Newsroom," I'm Rosemary Church. Want to check today's top stories for you.

The Senate will be reconvening later today. U.S. Senate Republican leader John Thune says it remains to be seen when the Senate will be able to vote on final passage on a measure to reopen the government, though he hopes it passes early this week, it comes after the Senate voted 60-40 on a key step toward reopening the government in a rare Sunday night session. Eight Senate Democrats compromised on their key sticking point, extending healthcare subsidies, with the promise of a separate vote in the coming weeks.

Well with the shutdown nearing its end, millions of Americans who rely on SNAP benefits are still in limbo. The U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered states to stop issuing full food assistance payments on Saturday, following a Supreme Court ruling. Instead, the USDA is telling states to only issue partial payments, to 65 percent of what recipients are allotted. They also ordered states to undo any full payments they already sent out.

Major U.S. airlines are expected to continue reducing their flights after a mandate from the FAA. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns air travel could be, quote, "reduced to a trickle in the coming weeks." Thousands of flights were canceled or delayed over the weekend, but travelers hope things will improve after the shutdown deal.

CNN's Betsy Klein has the details on the reopening deal from the White House.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BETSY KLEIN, CNN SR. WHITE HOUSE REPORTER: Well, we are now one major step closer to ending this government shutdown and getting the federal government reopened. And it has been 40 days of hardship and uncertainty for more than one million federal workers, so many of whom were deemed essential and required to report to work all this time without a paycheck.

And this vote in the Senate comes as the shutdown had reached a period of new pain impacting more Americans over the weekend. We heard from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who warned that air travel would be, quote, "reduced to a trickle" heading into that very busy Thanksgiving travel season. And separately, SNAP benefits, those very critical nutrition benefits impacting about 42 million Americans. The Trump administration had ordered states to disburse partial, about 65 percent, SNAP benefits to those in need, affecting about one in eight people in this country.

But the heart of the issue driving the shutdown is that Democrats wanted to extend those expiring Obamacare-enhanced subsidies. President Trump making very clear in recent days that he was vehemently opposed to doing so.

And we heard a change in tone from President Trump following Tuesday's elections, where Democrats won in very key races. The President said that Democrats, in his view, were not shouldering enough of the blame in this shutdown. The President had also both publicly and privately intensified calls to end the filibuster, that is that 60-vote threshold required to pass any piece of legislation in the Senate.

President Trump calling on senators to end that, even though there is bipartisan opposition to doing so. But those two major pieces set the stage for this vote on Sunday evening, and there are two very important provisions in this bill impacting federal workers.

Number one, the fired federal workers who were let go during the shutdown will be reinstated and will be given back pay. And separately, there was some question from President Trump, even though he signed a law back in 2019 ensuring that those who had been furloughed would receive back pay, the president calling that into question in recent days. But we have learned that this bill does require those furloughed workers to be paid at the conclusion of this shutdown. President Trump has a series of private events on his schedule behind

closed doors, meeting with the Syrian President at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time. He is also set to attend a swearing-in ceremony for the U.S. ambassador to India around 3:00 on Monday. We will see.

Right now, both those events closed to press. We'll see if he takes questions and opens them up.

CHURCH: Earlier, I spoke with political scientist Benjamin Radd about how the Senate deal came together and how it will affect party relations going forward. Here's part of our conversation.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BENJAMIN RADD, POLITICAL SCIENTIST AND SR. FELLOW, UCLA BURKLE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: Well, the Democrats simply don't have the votes in the House to stop it, and the House Republicans are probably eager to see this shutdown put behind them and distance themselves from what could be and most likely will be a key midterm election issue come 2026.

[03:35:06}

CHURCH: Is this a capitulation on the part of the Democrats, even though the deal to reopen the government was made in exchange for a future vote on extending Obamacare subsidies?

RADD: Yes, as your correspondent Manu stated in his report, it's hard to see this as anything but. I mean, especially in light of the legislative electoral victories Democrats had last week, as we saw in the races in the states for governors in particular. And it seemed like the Democrats had the momentum, but in this instance, the agreement to proceed and to provide Republicans in the Senate with the vote they need really came in exchange for a promise to hold a vote on something that most likely will fail and not advance anyway, let alone make it through the House.

So, it's hard to see this as anything but a capitulation one, where President Trump's strategy to pressure the Democrats by applying pressure on federal workers and other Americans who are impacted by the shutdown that it worked.

CHURCH: And how likely is it that we'll end up seeing another government shutdown at the end of January when this extension expires?

RADD: Yes, and I think that the key there is going to be what happens with the pressure applied by the Democrats on extending the ACA subsidies and whether or not they are willing to go back into another shutdown scenario, whether these eight Democrats who defected, if you will, from the majority -- from the minority Senate, whether they would agree to do the same come January, whether the momentum shifts, whether we see vulnerable Republican members deciding it's not worth a second go around and they are the ones who stand behind and really push the subsidy issue forward, all of this really remains to be seen.

I think the next few weeks will determine how this shakes down and what, what polls will show and what the voters in their home states have to say about these decisions.

CHURCH: And what impact might all of this have on next year's midterm elections, or will voters forget all the pain they went through just as they did after the pandemic?

RADD: If the subsidies are in fact cut, if they're not extended, if they're not reinstated after they expire, the, and, and Democrats, and especially vulnerable Republicans, see it become a campaign issue or voters are concerned, then absolutely it can be something that can come back to haunt those who voted against extending those subsidies.

So, it looks like Democrats are committed, the ones who did not join Republicans in the Senate, they are committed to keeping this front and center and making sure it does remain a 2026 campaign issue, one that Republicans won't be able to escape from.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHURCH: And this just in to CNN, President Trump has pardoned a long list of his political allies for their support or involvement in alleged plans to overturn the 2020 presidential election. That is according to the Justice Department's pardon attorney.

The list contains dozens of names, including high profile figures like President Trump's former lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and the President's former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. Each of them was charged with election interference in the state of Georgia, but presidential pardons only apply to federal charges, not state or local charges. The pardon also explicitly states that it does not apply to President Trump.

Well, still to come, a scandal that's rocking the BBC. How a documentary about Donald Trump and January 6th toppled two of the broadcaster's most senior leaders. We'll have details after the break.

[03:40:00]

CHURCH: Welcome back to CNN. This is your Business Breakout.

U.S. futures seem to be responding positively to the Senate vote that could help end the government shutdown. You can see there, the NASDAQ adding more than 1.37 percent.

And Asian markets are way up. Again, look at those numbers. The KOSPI up more than 3 percent.

And these are the business headlines. Before the shutdown deal, U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent,

warned the government shutdown could soon lead to shortages from supply chains to holiday goods. He told ABC News that cargo is already being delayed at ports, raising concerns about deliveries around the holidays, and that the economy has been, quote, "Getting worse and worse because of the shutdown."

Well, President Trump is lashing out of critics of his tariffs, writing on social media that people who oppose them are fools. As the administration waits for the Supreme Court to rule on the legalities of the tariffs, Mr. Trump is promising to pay $2,000 to nearly all Americans using revenue from tariffs.

Bolivia's President is promising an end to his country's months-long fuel shortages. Rodrigo Paz Borrero led a convoy of tankers into the country's second-largest city on Sunday. He says new supply routes and international deals will help stabilize the fuel market and ease high prices and long lines at gas stations.

Two top leaders at the BBC resigned on Sunday following a growing scandal that called into question the broadcaster's impartiality. Director General Tim Davie and Chief Executive of News Deborah Turness both quit after it was discovered the BBC misleadingly edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump, among other revelations.

CNN's Brian Stelter has the latest.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BRIAN STELTER, CNN CHIEF MEDIA ANALYST: Today, the BBC is facing a gaping leadership void after a shocking set of resignations on Sunday, both the Director-General Tim Davie and the BBC News boss, Deborah Turness, stepping down, with the proximate cause being a scandal over a misleading edit in a one-year-old documentary about President Trump.

While the Trump angle is getting a lot of attention, the story is really a lot more complicated with a lot more layers. As one BBC source remarked to me, the right-wing press in the U.K. has been, quote, "Feasting like vultures," part of a long-running conservative campaign against the British broadcaster. And the screw-up with the Trump documentary played right into that campaign.

Now, Davie and Turness will be staying at their posts in the short term to ensure an orderly transition, but like I said, this is a shocking development for BBC staffers. They've never seen this kind of turnover with the top two executives at the same time.

The specific row involving the Trump documentary started about a week ago when the British newspaper "The Telegraph" got ahold of an internal whistleblower memo describing the misleading edit that was made to the "Panorama" documentary. It was shown on the BBC just a few days before the U.S. presidential election last year.

The documentary spliced together different parts of Trump's infamous speech on the Ellipse on January 6th, 2021.

[03:45:04]

The way the documentary portrayed it sounded like Trump was telling his supporters that they were all going to walk down to the Capitol together and, quote, "Fight like hell." In reality, Trump did talk about fighting repeatedly during the speech, and he had a combative tone, but when he talked about walking to the Capitol, which he ultimately did not do, he was saying he was going to go with his supporters to cheer on the brave GOP senators and congressmen who were there. He did not say the words the way they were spliced together by the BBC documentary.

Now, the producer should have used a white flash or some other effect to show the edit, and while the edit would have caused quite a commotion internally, it would not have normally caused the resignation of senior leaders. That's partly why the Sunday news was so shocking.

But the context is really important here. The BBC is operating in a politically poisonous atmosphere, with near-daily disputes over coverage, especially the BBC's coverage of Israel and Gaza.

There are equally frequent attacks from the BBC's media rivals in the U.K., and there's a looming review of the BBC's license fee model. So, it's easy to understand why Davie was tired of fighting after five years in charge as director-general.

BBC Radio 4 host and former BBC News political editor Nick Robinson spoke for many inside the organization when he said on Sunday before the resignations happened, quote, "It's clear that there is a genuine concern about editorial standards and mistakes. There's also a political campaign by people who want to destroy the organization." Robinson's point was that both things are happening at the same time.

In her memo on Sunday, Turness said mistakes were made but, quote, "I want to be absolutely clear. Recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong."

It'll be up to the next BBC News boss and the next general -- the next director-general to prove that to a skeptical audience.

The typhoon lashed parts of the country's main island with heavy rains, heavy winds, rains and storm swells. It caused landslides and damaged roads, closing off access to at least three towns. Around 1.4 million people evacuated ahead of the typhoon. It's the second in a week to make landfall in the country.

And CNN's Mike Valerio is following this story for us from Beijing. Good to see you, Mike. So what is the latest on the aftermath of this second deadly typhoon to hit the country in a week?

MIKE VALERIO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You know, it's really with those children who you mentioned in the introduction to this story, Rosemary. Landslides buried a home, and we just confirmed those details within the past hour that two kids, two children who were inside that home lost their lives.

So we talked about this last hour too, this is really part of the primary mission of today, to get into these towns buried in mud and try to find more people who need help or have survived. But, you know, the video of the day is what we've been showing leading into this segment. Just that storm surge that is so incredible with the waves and the storm surge crashing above the height of houses and palm trees.

Certainly shows you the power that the second typhoon, Fung-wong, wrought on the Philippines. When it made landfall, it had wind speeds, sustained wind speeds of about 185 kilometers an hour, 115 miles an hour.

And we're going to hear from a 21-year-old who made it through the storm right below the center of its storm track yesterday evening. Listen to what he told us.

ROMEO MARIANO, STORM SURVIVOR (through translator): We felt the wind and some rain picking up around 6:00 P.M., and it got stronger around 9:00 to 10:00 P.M. until the early morning. Almost all the tree branches nearby fell, and when we got out to check our home, we saw the damage. As you can see, even the electrical post was damaged, so it might take days for our power to get restored.

VALERIO: It's just been a one-two punch. There was Typhoon Kalmaegi last week that hit the Philippines about 500 miles south, killing more than 200 people in the Philippines.

So now, you know, throughout the day we've heard from people who represent disaster relief agencies who have said, "We needed to respond to typhoon number one last week, we paused or moved resources to deal with typhoon number two, Fung-wong, which hit yesterday." And that is certainly stretching resources to the limit.

A quote here. "People are a little shell-shocked." End quote. Coming from Butch Meily, who's the President of the Philippines Disaster Resilience Foundation.

So, you know, the good news here is certainly that this storm has weakened as it's now passing through the South China Sea. I know you said that its sights are set on Taiwan, but thankfully when we're looking at the latest models, this is expected to make landfall over Taiwan as a tropical storm, not as a re-strengthened typhoon.

So as we're looking at the storm track, it's gradually weakening and weakening. So that is certainly good news. But there are still schools that are canceled in Taiwan in preparation for its arrival on Wednesday, and some evacuations just in case in some areas that are prone to flooding where it's going to hit in Taiwan, Rosemary.

CHURCH: All right. Mike Valerio, thank you so much for that live report, bringing it from Beijing. I appreciate it.

Well, parts of the U.S. could be seeing some snow as temperatures plunge in certain areas this week. CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar explains.

ALLISON CHINCHAR, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Roughly 40 locations could end up having record lows Monday and Tuesday of this week, and a few areas could have those records for both the high temperature and the low temperature. You can see all of the dots here on the map indicating where those record lows are possible and this is all because of this cold swath of air right through here.

[03:55:08]

A cold front has been sweeping across the eastern portion of the U.S., and behind that cold front is that surge of arctic air spreading from the Midwest to the Northeast, and all the way down to the Gulf Coast. You can see Monday and Tuesday it continues to slide to the east, and then once we get to Thursday and Friday of this week, we will finally start to see those temperatures rebounding back to where they should be for this time of year.

Wind is also going to be a concern up and down the eastern seaboard for much of the day Monday, so if you do have some plans to travel, do keep an eye out for any flight delays due to some of those gusty winds up around 40 to 50 miles per hour.

Here's a look at the forecast highs for Monday. Again, lots of temperatures in the 30s, but even down to the south you've got several, including Atlanta, that may barely even make it to 40 degrees for the high temperature. Tuesday you're really starting to see the temperatures drop across the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic, but you will notice that the temperatures over here in the southern plains are actually starting to bounce back up.

Here's a look at Atlanta. The high temperature, again, bitter cold on Monday. Some very gusty winds, but we do see those temperatures getting back up, oddly, to above average by the time we head into the upcoming weekend. And they're not the only location. Cincinnati looking at snow showers

for Monday, as that temperature is likely to barely make it much above the freezing mark. But we are back into the 60s just in time for the weekend.
