fighting is intensifying near the enclave. e earlier today, israel opened another evacuation corridor. but those small breaks in the war aren't enough for some. an emergency summit today in saudi arabia, arab and islamic leaders demanded a complete cease fire. today, we're watching pro palestinian protests in london, brussels, paris, even near president biden's home in delaware. let's get to oren on the ground in israel near gaza. lots of activity there today. what are you seeing? >> very much so. from our vantage point here from the northeast corner of gaza, it has been a very different night. we have seen and heard intermittent artillery strikes and explosions. there was an explosion of an expected uav launched from gaza but in terms of what we're seeing, it's more intermittent than on previous nights. last night, it was a skyline lit up very regularly. now very different. we don't see the explosions, the flares being dropped below. still, we know of course there is intense fighting in gaza city, including around the hospitals. the director general of the hamas-control hamas-controlled ministry of health says one of the largest, rather the largest in the gaza strip, is surrounded by the idf as it treats 400 patients and has another 20,000 people who have taken refugee there. the director general says the hospital itself hasn't been struck but some of the outer buildings, the maternity clinics and external clinics have taken damage in the intense fighting there. meantime, there are bodies piling up there because they can't get out to bury them. according to the ministry of health there, the generator there also took damage and that shut down the incubators in the neo natal intensive care unit and as a result, three babied have died. the idf responded saying there is no siege or surrounding of the hospital. that the east side of the hospital is open for those who want to come in and go out. the idf says they're in touch with hospital officials and tomorrow will expedite babies from the pediatric unit coming out of the hospital. at the same time, the idf acknowledges ongoing fighting, blaming hamas for taking up positions that sfforce fightingn the streets of the densely populated and packed streets around the hospital. we know of course from our previous reporting that many other hospitals in the gaza strip have shutdown and are in desperate need of supplies, food, and help. we have heard that call from many different places within gaza. the idf says they've taken over 11 hamas outposts in gaza and meantime, there was another humanitarian corridor open for seven hours with the expectation another will be open tomorrow as well. >> even with some of these allotments in corridors, we have still seen loss of life on the civilian side of things. we also heard a strong unified statement from arab and islamic leaders in saudi arabia. what did they have to say about this ongoing crisis in gaza? >> worth noting, the extraordinary summit, these arab and islamic leaders that are often at different ends of the spectrum so the fact they united is fairly significant. in a joint statement that came out in unified fashion at the end of the summit, they said, accused israel of war crimes and barbaric, brutal and inhumane massacres in gaza, essentially, immediate cease fire for humanitarian aid. we've already seen israel's leadership reject that saying if you want a cease fire, release the 240 hostages that are being held in gaza. >> that of course remains one of the central sticking points from the israeli side, of course. we will see as developments move forward and see if these humanitarian corridor allotments make a significant difference. thank you so much. around the world, people are protesting israel's war effort in gaza and calling for a peaceful resolution to the fighting. claire sebastian has more from london. >> organized and in one voice, tens of thousands of people took to london streets demanding a cease fire in the israel hamas war. the final destination is the united states embassy in south london. that is the anger you're hearing is mostly directed towards western governments and in particular, the united states for its support of israel. the conflict now in its second month has seen gaza under unrelenting israeli bombardment since the attack on israel. >> in one month, it's over 4,000 children die. it is not normal. >> as people got ready to march in solidarity with palestinians, others were marking a second historic war. ♪ arm is tis day. there was a cross oversome branded as insensitive. the prime minister tried to stop the pro palestinian rally. >> it's supposed to be about the end of the war and this is what people are here for. we want to see an end to the war in gaza and this is what we're supporting. >> a heavy police presence has been promised in london saturday and they did face challenges. protesters disrupted a two-minute silence. a slashing with police in central london. police say they detained dozens of those counter protesters. for the pro palestinian demonstrators gathering at the u.s. embassy, emotions were starting to show. >> i'm jewish and i fully support this march, everything that's going on today. why can't we all stand up for palestinians. >> despite the controversy in the lead up to this event, it has remained very organized. pretty peaceful, but the scale of it reflects what we're seeing this growing public mood that despite the horrific attacks of october 7th, the response may have gone too far. cnn, london. >> not only are there growing protests abroad, but here in the u.s. as well over the biden administration's continued support for the war. today, demonstrators are rallying in protest. in new york city last night, demonstrators marched through the streets as they demanded a cease fire in gaza and in a notable shift in language on the rising civilian death toll in gaza, secretary of state blinken said friday that quote, far too many palestinians are being killed and it comes as cnn has just obtained a cable saying the u.s. is losing badly on the messaging battle space. kevin liptack is in wilmington, delaware. what can you tell us about this protest near biden's home? >> yeah, it's hundreds of pro palestinian protesters near where biden lives here in delaware. it is rare to see protests of this size here in delaware for the president's frequent visits on the weekend. it does illustrate that growing discontent among certain parts of the american population about how this is being handled and certainly, the president has seen that at various points over the last several weeks including in illinois where he was this week. protestors on the street. he's also been interrupted during a few of his speeches from people calling for a cease fire. so this pressure is building on president biden on his handling of this. we did also hear earlier today from the french president, ema emanuel macron, who said there is no justification for the israeli bombing and calling on other leaders to join him in that call. earlier this week, we did see a majority of the democratic caucus in the senate writing to the white house asking about the president's request for $14 billion in emergency assistant for israel and asking for guarantees that that would not be used to violate international humanitarian law. and that is been something that the president has been calling for really since the start of this crisis. is for israel to avoid killing civilians. to adhere to those international laws after war and we have seen something of a shift. the president talking with more cautious to israel, to encourage the country to think about what it's doing. to protect civilian lives. we did hear from the top diplomat saying this week that too many civilians had died and that more needs to be done to protect civilian life. what you have heard the white house call for is these humanitarian pauses in israel to allow aid to go in and allow civilians to flee. the white house did announce that israel would be doing daily four-hour pauses to allow these things to happen, but when president biden was asked about that earlier this week, he did say he had hoped the prime minister netanyahu would have agreed to those sooner. omar? >> we'll see. thank you as always. i'm joined now by joel ruben, a former deputy assistant secretary of state for the obama administration for legislative affairs and democratic candidate for congress in maryland. i want to start a little bit of where kevin left off. what do you make of the administration's change of language and tone towards israel, in particular, secretary of state blinken's comments, saying too many civilians are being killed? >> yeah, it's great to be with you. this language is not exactly different from the beginning either. president biden has consistently called for there to be protection for civilians. i think what blinken pointed out yesterday was that this is at @ t at the top of the administration's concerns. the administration's been very clear that it supports israel's right to defend itself. it supports israel's right to root out hamas from gaza. so i don't think these two ideas are at odds with each other and we see that in the way the biden team is talking about. they're talking about the need for an end, a process for a two-state solution. the idea that civilians are not to be blamed for hamas' actions. all that's comes together but clearly with the secretary saying it vocally yesterday, the administration's trying to make sure that message gets out to audiences aboard to the arab and muslim world. >> especially because the leaders there have been meeting over the course of the past 24 hours and along some of the, of what you were mentioning before, the president has been pushing israel to expand humanitarian pauses in the war, but they've been reluctant to call for a cease fire out right. do you support that policy? >> i do support the policy as it's being executed. calling for a cease fire by the united states has the potential to undermine what israel is engaged in right now, which is rooting out hamas fighters. that does not mean that israel should not take care of regarding its targeting and it does need to take care. i think it's why you see secretary of state blinken talking about civilian casualties. b but look, there are israel hostages that are still sitting in tunnels in gaza that hamas has not let go despite multiple diplomatic efforts. israel needs to continue to protect its southern border. there are children hostages. nearly 20 of them sitting underneath gaza and being used as ransom. so what's the end state for hamas? hamas is clearly sending rockets into tel aviv, holding hostages. preventing palestinians from getting to safer zones. so that's why a cease fire now would be problematic until there's a real definitive military victory in hamas particularly in the northern part of gaza. >> and obviously words are being closely monitored in every public statement. pause versus cease fire. just from a layman's standpoint, are pauses not essentially small cease fires that would have to be agreed on by both sides in a sense? is there a diplomatic difference in the terms here? >> look, omar, you're really bringing up the core point. there was a cease fire up until october 6th then hamas broke it and invade southern israel. a cease fire also implies both sides participate. and hamas has not wibeen active pursuing a peaceful process within israel. so these pauses are designed to enable humanitarian assistance to get in. to ensure that the palestinian civilians are moved out of harm's way, but once a cease fire, if that were to be called and enacted, that would create a new, permanent, de facto baseline. it would not be something that could be moved into and out of like these pauses, but hamas is not hitting the cease fire button. right now would be further problematic and would not prevent hamas from continuing in its murderous ways as it's doing now. >> the country of israel, the israeli defense forces, have a mission in trying to eradicate hamas. do you worry at all that the global and even u.s. support for israel will erode if the civilian death toll continues to rise and if there's a perception that israel isn't doing enough to avoid some of those casualties? >> yeah, i'm very worried about that. and what pains me is watching what's happening here in the united states and the antisemitic language that's being used about israel that tearing down of posters of kidnapped israels. the boycotting of jewish establishments. this sort of language and political environment is getting very toxic very quickly. that does put pressure on our government but the pressure globally is one that it does want to see it stopped in the violence. we all do. but if you have terrorist state living at your southern border that continues to fire rockets, kidnaps your people and keeps them as ransom, at a certain point, one has to say and including the arab league, this is what we're going to do to stop hamas from going further. syria was at this meeting, too. he killed several hundred thousand of his own people then welcomed to this meeting. that's just the height of hypocrisy. so what is the solution to stop hamas from invading southern israel and preventing from continuing to have a massacre ideology as its core. that has to be part of this conversation. >> of course, in all of this, not happening in a videoacuum. summit including leaders of saudi arabia, iran, and syria as well. we've got to leave it there but thank you as always. coming up next, a looming government shutdown. all eyes are on the new speaker of the house, mike johnson, to keep the government funded and given the timetable, less than a week away now, it is a crucial test. details ahahead. we are minutes away from an urgent meeting from republicans to prevent a government shutdown. it's a test for mike johnson and his ability to lead a largely divided job. congress has until november 17th to make an agreement on funding and effectively keep the government's lights on. annie grayer has more. feels like just yesterday late september we were talking about potentially figuring out a strategy to avoid a government shutdown. so day swra view, but what is the latest you're hearing about the new speaker strategy this time around? >> well, omar, the speaker has been trying to listen to his conference. trying to build consensus around an idea about how to keep the government open but mike johnson is running into the same issues that kevin mccarthy ran into, which is the house republican conference is very divided on this issue and what's the best plan to fund the government. now, at 3:00 today, the speaker is finally going to unveil his plan that's been much anticipated because we're running out of time, about which plan he's going to use to fund the government. now, there's been two kind of prevailing ideas that have been forming. leading up to this call about which plan mike johnson is going to support. one is more from the far right of the party and this would set up a multiple deadlines for government funding, which is very complicated and confusing. a lot of people don't know how it would work. and most importantly, it is dead on arrival in the democratic-controlled senate. then there's another plan pushed by more moderate republicans in the conference that would just be an extension of government funding that's more in line with what the senate wants. now, whichever plan speaker johnson decides to go with will show you which part of his party he is leaning towards, listening more to. this is the huge test for the speaker. his first big one since winning the gavel after three week of infighting. the speaker does not want a government shutdown, but does he have plan that will actually be able to do that. >> we will see. and we'll see if he runs into any of the same dynamics that then speaker mccarthy ran into. this feels slightly different than that time around. annie grayer, we'll stay in touch with you. thank you so much. now one father thought his daughter was killed by hamas militants then he got news she may be alive and held hostage. his quest to get her back coming up. - [young alec] my favorite people in shriners are the doctors and the nurses, because they help people through life. - [adult alec] wow, i was a really cute kid, (laughs) but it's true. shriners hospitals for children is awesome. the first time i went to shriners hospitals for children, i was two months old. because of their care, now i live a full, independent life. i got my driver's license, and i'm going to college. when you call right now, and give just $19 a month, only 63 cents a day, we'll send you this adorable blanket as your reminder of the journey you helped me make, and the journey you're helping other kids make too. - it's amazing to know that there's someone looking out for me and my family. - and it isn't just the doctors and nurses who have been looking out for me. it was you. pick up your phone or go to loveshriners.org, and you'll be a part of something special too. there are so many heartbreaking stories we heard from the hamas terror attack. one story, the father of an 8-year-old girl told cnn he was relieved when he learned his daughter was killed in the october 7th attack on israel because he believed her being held alive and hostage would be a fate worse than death. but now, israeli officials have informed him his daughter was most likely taken and kidnapped, but alive, to gaza. here's ed lavandera. >> from the morning of the 7th till now is a nightmare roller coaster. tragedy. >> the anguish he's about to describe has left his trembling for weeks. it's a journey of death and a hope of resurrection he says is impossible to imagine. >> on the day, it was russian roulette, whether you made it. >> on october 7th, hamas fighters stormed the kibbutz killing 130 people and ravaging the community of 1100 residents. that morning, thomas' 8-year-old daughter, emily, was sleeping at a friend's house. thomas could not reach her. days after the attack, the father spoke the clarissa word. >> thomas waiting two agonizing days before getting the news. >> just said, we found emily. she's dead. and i went, yes! i went, yes. and smiled. because that is the best news of the possibilities that i knew. she'd be in a darkr room filled with christ knows how many people and terrified every minute, hour, day, and possible years to come. so death was a blessing, an absolute blessing. >> thomas says leaders of the kibbutz community told him emily's body was seen in the aftermath but almost a month after the massacre, thomas was given news that almost made him collapse. he says the israeli army told him it's highly probable emily is alive and a hamas hostage. >> how were you told the news that emily might be alive? >> that was official from the army. with all the information that they have, the intelligence that they have. it's very likely that she's been taken to gaza. >> thomas says he's been told emily's body is not with the remains of victims and there was no blood found inside the home where she slept the night before. thomas also says that cell phones belonging to the family emily was staying with have been tracked inside gaza. when you spoke with karus a few weeks ago, you said death would be a blessing. >> yeah. >> how do you describe where you are now? >> extremely worried about her, obviously. what conditions she's been held in. she's, you know, more than likely in a tunnel somewhere under gaza. your imagination, it's horrible. and it's her birthday on the 17th of this month. she'll be 9. she won't even know what day it is. she won't know it's her birthday. there will be no birthday cake. no party. no presents. be petrified in a tunnel under gaza. that's her birthday. >> thomas is now flooded with the hope and the despair of what his daughter might be enduring. he prays she can somehow hear these words to her. >> if emily is watching, just to let her know that we love her, all of us. we're all waiting for her to come back safely. >> the survivors of the kibbutz are temporarily living in a hotel. in the lobby, there's a vigil to all the kidnapped hostages. now emily's family say it is young girl's photo will be placed next to the others. >> you described as being a hostage as worse than death. >> i believe so. the unknown is awful. the waiting is awful. but that's what we've got to do now. just pray and hope that she comes back in some broken state, but we can fix her. we'll fix her somehow. >> do you allow yourself now to think about holding emily again? >> in my head. i can see, like a beach scene. her running to me and me running to her. just picking her up. never letting her go. >> ed lavandera, cnn. fbi agents seized devices from new york city mayor eric adams this week in a dramatic escalation in their investigation into campaign fund raising. officials are looking into whether foreign money was funneled into his campaign for mayor. the seizure came days after agents raided the home of his chief fund-raiser. now, adam's spokesperson says the mayor has not been accused of any wrong doing and is cooperating with the investigation. now, cnn correspondent paolo sandoval joins me now. what more can you tell us? >> you know, even though the mayor has not been accused of any wrong doing, this is no doubt an extraordinary development that just came to light yesterday though it actually happened on monday. according to reporting from our colleague, gloria, the mayor had just wrapped up a speaking engagement here in manhattan at nyu monday evening and was making his way to his suv when fbi agents approached him, and then stepped into the mayor's suv and that is when they served the mayor with this search warrant requiring adams to hand over his electronic devices. we understand it was at least two phones and that ipad he uses to carry out his mayoral duties. a spokesperson saying adams immediately complied with that order. the fbi by the way declining to comment though it's important to point out this seizure happened days after the fund raising chief for adams' campaign, her home was raided as part of that investigation. sources close to adams saying that immediately after that happened on monday, they quickly began to look at their books. to look at all the documents that they had. and even offered to turn over additional electronic devices. during that review, according to adams' sources, that there was at least one individual within that campaign that apparently acted improperly. though they've declined to say who that was and we want to read you a portion of the statement, the mayor writing through this statement that as a former member of law enforcement, i expect all members of my staff to follow the law and fully cooperate with any sort of investigation and i awill continue to do exactly that. the mayor, a former law man here in new york city. but this says a lot about this investigation. again, though the mayor not directly accused in this so far, it makes him a stakeholder now that he was a recipient of one of these search warrants about this investigation continues to move forward. a mayor that insists he has nothing to hide. >> it's a situation people are going to be watching very closely, not just there in new york. thank you so much. it has been a week filled with challenges for president biden. recent polling revealed deep public dissatisfaction with his job performance, growing frustration over support of israel and now, joe manchin's decision not to run for re-election is fuelling rumors of another possible third party run for the white house. let's bring in former vice chair of the west virginia democratic party. christopher, for starters, you've known west virginia politics and joe manchin for years. what do you think is behind this announcement here? >> well, i mean, i think there's two main reasons that he's turning down this race. the first one by far the dominant one is that he was not going to win it. very, very poor environment for democrats right now in west virginia. if you remember about six years ago, five years ago, he defeated patrick morrisy. 25, 30,000 votes. and jim justice, whether you like him or not, is five times the politician that patrick morsey is. he is universally known. quite popular as governor despite some of his troubles. and the environment for democrats in west virginia has only gotten worse. there's a reason manchin is the last remaining democratic statewide office holder. i think he didn't want to end his senate career with what could have been not just a loss, but the significant loss to jim justice. >> and that of course is among the dynamics here because there is a national set of attention and criticism at times on joe manchin but, in west virginia politics, isn't necessarily the same as national politics. you answered my questions on whether you think he would have won but is this a state that the democratic party may have some issues? >> absolutely. absolutely. when joe manchin became governor around 2004, 2005, there were 70 out of 100 delegates. democrats. in the state house. most of the senators, state senators, were democrats. and almost all the statewides, every statewide, was a democrat. and now there are only i think nine or ten delegates left. so it's a 90-10 chamber against the democrats over the 15, 18 years that manchin has been the standard bearer for the party. so he really is the last man. the party has a major rebuilding project in west virginia. has to rebrand. it has to reconnect. with the working class voters that were an incredibly strong base. voting almost 70-30 for democrats 20 years ago in state races whereas now, it's a 70% trump state. >> connecting with working class voters is an issue many democrats have faced in places across the country. i think west virginia is a good example of how stark it can be and those issues can be. i want to ask about another dynamic here. you've known manchin for years. he's put out a statement about why he does not want to run including traveling the country and listening to people, but it's also fueled rumors of launching a third party presidential bid. as someone who's known him for a while, do you think that is something he's seriously exploring here? >> well, i think the exploration of it may be serious. i think he actually intends to go on the tour. there's been some talk of a manchin romney ticket. but i do not think it's ultimately going to result in a third party run for the presidency from joe manchin. his best chance to run for the presidency would have been around the 2008 and 2016 cycles when he was still in great position to compete as a democrat. but in terms of a third party candidacy, you have to remember that joe manchin voted to impeach donald trump and he also voted to confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. just those two votes alone with incredibly alienating, each of them, so large swaths of the electorate. so when you talk about building a third party run, what is the constituency for that run going to be when you have given republicans, who make up a big share of the electorate, a reason not to like you because you voted to impeach trump, and you've given the democrats who did not care for kavanaugh to be on the supreme court and overruling roe versus wade, you've given them a reason not to like you. i think ultimately the result of the tour and polling and research is going to be that that is not, not likely to lead to any success. >> and we will see of course the dynamics that play out after with him not being in this west virginia senate race. not choosing to run for re-election because as you mentioned, polls have shown up to this point, west virginia governor justice has polled very strongly and definitely an opportunity republicans are looking to pick up. we've got to leave it there. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. still to come, antisemitism on the rise across the united states around the world. how jewish communities are facing the new thrhreats. as the israel hamas war rages on, antisemitism is rising sharply around the world. tomorrow, dana bash takes an in depth look at the disturbing trend. here's part of her report where she spoke with the special envoy to monitor and combat sent advertise m. >> it's deeply baked into not just western society, but much of the world. it's very hard to eradicate. the antisemitism has been called the longest or the oldest hatred with good reason. so, this sort of let the lid off for many anti semites for quite a few decades. it hasn't been taken seriously. people have said well, it's not as serious as racism. it's not as serious at homophobia, as misogyny, et cetera. or what you'll often find among administrators, these jewish kids, they come from good families. jews, so why are they complaining? when you encounter an act of prejudice, call it out for what it is. when george floyd was murdered, it would have been so inappropriate to say we condemn the racism that was behind this and the homophobia and antisemitism, but somehow when it comes to antisemitism, it couldn't be called on on its own. >> what does the what aboutism do? >> dilutes and to a certain degree, rationalizes and/or justifies. i want to be exactly clear. criticism of israeli policy is not antisemitism, but when you question the right of jews to a national identity, when you question the existence of a jewish state, you move beyond the political. >> and dana bash joins me now. something that struck me that the ambassador just said there is that this hadn't really gone anywhere. antisemitism. but the events of the last month really hit the lid off. is that what you found over the course of doing this report? >> it definitely hit the lid off, no question about it. we actually did a similar report in 2022, omar, and at the time, we were trying to expose to the broader public that antisemitism was very much alive and well. it was growing. it was on the rise. already. and just if you look at the antidefamation league, their statistics in 2021, in 2022, each year, was most incidents since that organization had been tracking. if you look at that compared to what we're seeing now, i mean, it completely pales in comparison. from october 7th until now, the adl saw a 400%, just shy of 400% increase and this isn't just in sort of statements. these are, this is harassment. this is vandalism. and this is violence. and it is absolutely because the notion of antisemitism and a lot of people say that word is too fancy. we shouldn't use it anymore. we should use the term, jew hate. has been swept under the rug in a lot of ways. when you see it on the right, it's been noticed and condemned. much more on the left, it has opi been kind of a slow burn. that's where you're seeing it explode, lparticularly on collee campuses where the notion of antizls zionism was perceived as political street. people are saying they're against zionism, what they are saying is they're against the jewish people. >> for those at home, i know we have to go here quickly, is that these hours sometimes take months and months to put together but as i understand in a weird way, did you find that this was easy to put together? did you feel that even just october 7th, you had what you needed to put together a especially devastating one as this. >> such an astute question. the last time we did this in 2022, we took six months to do it. because we wanted to get it just right and because it wasn't as overt. we did this in six days because the material is just overflowing. the hate is overflowing. and it was unfortunately very easy to find. which is why we felt the need to do it and explain it. not just the what but the why and how do we find solutions. >> dana bash, i for one am very excited to e see it and learn a lot from your always astute reporting. great to see you. an all new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper, airs tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. only on cnn. we'll be right back. president biden was at arlington national cemetery this mourng to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. ♪ ♪
