optimistic. and inflation hits a 30-year high just days before president biden is expected to sign his massive infrastructure bill. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. in the coming hours, the trial of kyle rittenhouse is set to resume in kenosha, wisconsin, following a dramatic day of emotional and high stakes testimony from the defendant himself. the defense is expected to call several more witnesses, including a doctor and police officer. rittenhouse charged with killing two people during the protests in kenosha last august took the stand wednesday and testified that he acted in self-defense. cnn's omar jimenez has more on the teen's testimony and the tense moments between the judge and the prosecution. >> reporter: the most anticipated moment in the trial, kyle rittenhouse taking the stand in his own defense. >> did you come to downtown kenosha to look for trouble? >> no. >> reporter: he took the jury back to august 5th, 2020, when he said he and others volunteered to guard a car dealership in downtown kenosha from property damage. during protests following the shooting of jacob blake. rittenhouse would go on to shoot three people, killing two of them and wounding the third. rittenhouse described his first interactions with a man named joseph rosenbaum, the first person he would later kill. >> he said if i catch any of you [ bleep ] alone, i'm going to [ bleep ] kill you. >> reporter: afternoon ward he said he was cornered by joshua rosenbaum and kaminsky. >> i take a step back, look over my shoulder, and mr. rosenbaum, mr. rosenbaum was now running from my right side, um, and i was cornered from in front of me with mr. zaminsky. and there were -- there were three people right there -- >> reporter: the judge called for a break. and when of rittenhouse returned, lessee motional, he described a chase with rosenbaum. >> there was no space for me to continue to run to. >> as you see him lunging at you, what did you do? >> i shoot him. >> reporter: then others testified he tried to get to the police. >> why did you try to get to the police? >> i didn't do anything wrong, i defended myself. >> reporter: soon he describes being confronted by an unidentified man. >> i fired two shots at him. >> why did you shoot at him? >> i thought if i were to be knocked out or -- he would have shot my face in if i didn't fire. >> reporter: he missed those shots, but the next one was deadly. as anthony huber hit rittenhouse with a skateboard. >> mr. huber runs up. he strikes me in the neck with his skateboard a second time. he grabs my gun and i can feel it pulling away from me. >> and what do you do then? >> i fire one shot. >> reporter: he then sees gauge grosskreutz. >> i see mr. grosskreutz. as i lowered my weapon, i looked down. and then mr. grosskreutz, he lunges at me with his pistol pointed directly at my head. >> reporter: so rittenhouse shot him once. >> what happened after you shoot him? >> he's no longer a threat to me. >> reporter: during the cross-examination, the prosecution began to paint a bottom line. >> everyone you shot you intended to kill? >> i didn't intend to kill. i intended to stop the people attacking me. >> by killing them. >> reporter: the prosecution pushed further. >> you intentionally used deadly force against joseph rosenbaum, correct? >> yes. >> you intentionally used deadly force against the man who tried to kick you in the face, yes? >> yes. >> you intentionally used deadly force against daniel huber, correct? >> yes. >> you used deadly force against grosskreutz? >> yes. >> reporter: after rittenhouse had a chance to hear others testify in the trial and seeing video in the night's events, the judge interrupted and cited his fifth amendment rights. >> the problem is this is a grave constitutional violation for you to talk about the defendant's silence. >> reporter: so the questioning continued, but this time touched on a previous incident the judge as of wednesday had not allowed in trial. the judge had enough. >> the court left the door open. >> for me, not for you. i was astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendant's post-arrest silence. that's basic law. it's been because i can law in this country -- don't get brazen with me. >> reporter: the incident prompted the defense to file a motion for mistrial with prejudice, meaning he could not be retried. the judge said he would take it under consideration and the prosecution returned to cross going back to the shooting much joseph rosenbaum and the moment he pointed the gun at him before the shooting. >> why did you point it at him if you didn't have any intention of shooting? >> he was chasing me. i was alone. he threatened to kill me earlier in that night. i didn't want to have to shoot him. >> but you understand how dangerous it is to point a gun at someone, don't you? >> i pointed it at him because he kept running at me and i didn't want him to chase me. >> reporter: the same line of questioning extended to rittenhouse's shooting of gauge grosskreutz. >> can you help me understand why gauge grosskreutz with ace pistol in his hand is a threat to kill you and you pointing an ar-15 pointed at him was not a threat? can you help me understand that? >> he decided to come and point a gun at my head -- >> he hasn't done that yet, has he? >> no. >> reporter: the prosecution's questioning lasted hours with rittenhouse on the stand. time line wise, the judge told the jury to expect this case to be finished by early next week with a chance of monday and the judge, very confident this case would be finished by tuesday. omar jimenez, cnn, kenosha, wisconsin. >> so legal experts have been weighing in on kyle rittenhouse's claim of self-defense in last summer's deadly shooting. here's how two noted attorneys view his testimony. listen to this. >> the defense is going to claim that he was not the initial aggressor. in fact, he was carrying the ar-15 as a self-defense measure and he only started to use it after he was attacked and his assailants threaten to kill him. one had a gun. the prosecutor brought out he heard shots being fired at the scene as well. so there's a lot of provocation on the other side, so there's no way that the self-defense claim is going to be taken away from him. it will be up to the jury to decide. but i think he made as compelling a self-defense claim as i've seen in a courtroom. and i've tried quite a few murder cases. >> when you look at whether or not it was a life or death matter, i think you have to consider the fact you have a young white boy openly carrying and possessing an ar-15 loaded at a black lives matter protest, not his life, not his liberty, but defending someone else's property, a rioter, code name for criminals, and he shoots two unarmed people, wounds another, and approaches police with an ar-15 strapped to his body, and they drive past him. no way in fashion this white boy who shot three people was perceived as a threat. the question really becomes now, how does he get the advantage of hiding behind a broad disingenuous interpretation of self defense and the second amendment? >> and stay with cnn. we'll have much more on the trial in the coming hours. it's been nearly a week since the deadly crowd surge at the astroworld music festival in houston, texas. there are still so many questions. at least 58 civil lawsuits have now been filed in connection to the tragic event where eight people were killed. a county can judge is pushing for on independent investigation despite houston police chief troy finer insisting it's unwarranted. finnor told them to stop the show when at least one person in the crowd was receiving cpr. he depth say how long it took for the show to stop once the request was made, but stressed it was up to organizers to make the call. >> the ultimate authority to end the show is with production and the entertainer, okay. and that should be through communication with public safety officials. i want us to review the tapes, okay, because if a tape is showing even somebody from our agency doing the wrong thing, you know what, in the most important thing, i'm telling you as chief of police, this is my agency. we're going to hold people accountable, and i think that the family -- we owe that to them. >> the police chief also clarified that a security guard who was previously thought to have been injected with drugs was actually hit in the head. he fell yourunconscious and wok in the security tent. we are learning more about the scores of people injured in the crash. the family of a 22-year-old college student is fighting for her life after being critically injured in the festival. they said she is on a ventilator at the houston hospital. she went to the concert with her cousin and younger sister. a gofundme account is set up to pay for medical costs. the chief electrician of the film "rust" has filed what appeared to be the first lawsuit against alec baldwin and crew members at last month's fatal on set shooting. he claims the director and assistant director caused severe emotional distress and accuses of them of failing to implement and maintain industry firearm standards. cnn has reached out to the lawyers representing baldwin and the other unnamed crew members and hasn't heard back yet. it was another legal setback for former u.s. president donald trump's efforts to keep his white house records secret from the january 6 inquiry. a federal judge on wednesday refused his latest emergency request to block their release. same judge had already rejected his argument of executive privilege the previous day, ruling the house committee investigating the insurrection could have access to telephone records, visitor logs and other documents. the national archives are scheduled to give those materials to congress on friday. now trump will have to ask an appeals court for an emergency pause to block the release while he continues his legal battle. the case races questions about a former president's executive privilege versus the public interest. >> the presidential records act under which this lawsuit was brought is a post-watergate reform that was specifically designed to bypass president nixon oops attempts to essentially potentially destroy records and maintain records. and the united states congress said, no, the records belong to the people, and the incumbent president joe biden is the holder of the people's interest. so this is really about the public interest in this motion, in this moment. so donald trump has to argue he is more in tune with the public interest than the united states president under the constitution. i think that's a really tough sell. it actually is rare to get the state that he wants. it's in less -- in a 2020 study, it was less nan 20% of the cases actually get what he's asking for. but they tend to be a higher percentage if you're asking to stay release of confidential documents. so i do think it's possible that the court of appeals is going to say, listen, this is important. we'll issue the stay alternatively they could just say, we agree with the lower court. you have not satisfied the standard for injunction. we are going to briefly deny, deny the whole thing. that's conceivable. it does depend on the panel, the judges are going to decide this. >> meanwhile, sources tell cnn the house select committee wants more information from at least five members of former vice president mike pence's inner circle. when it comes to fighting climate change, china says cooperation with the u.s. is the only choice. the world's top two leaders surprised the cop-26 summit in glasgow, scotland, with a new pledge toe work together to keep rising temperatures in check. it is light on specifics and lacks commitment from china on major international agreements. u.s. special climate envoy john kerry says he's pleased. >> the united states and china have no shortage of differences. but on climate, on climate, cooperation is the only way to get this job done. this is not a discretionary thing frankly. this is science. it's math and physics that dictate the road that we have to travel. >> for more let's bring in cnn's beijing bureau chief steven zhang. tike us through the surprise announcement this came about. >> reporter: this announcement came as a surprise because of the jen low expectations at glasgow. i found the world's top emitters led by the u.s. and china. many see it as a reiteration of the two countries' prior commitments stated in the 2015 paris agreement. they did say they would strengthen communications by dividing this working group on this issue and making some broad and vague pledges about accelerating the pace of emissions reductions. all of this, of course, came after chinese leader xi jinping gave his reason for doing this in unsurprisingly very lofty terms. here's what he said. >> translator: it had come to me that harms done to nature will eventually harm ourselves. china's carbon reduction action is a economic social transformation. however formidable the task may be, we will work tirelessly to make our contribution to make going global green a mission. >> reporter: the other surprise is the current state of of the bilateral relationship which has been in a deep freeze for a long time. john kerry himself had long tried to convince the beijing leadership to carve out this special lane for cooperation on climate despite tensions in other aspects of this relationship. but beijing said no to him. why the sudden change? because now we know the two countries' leaders, joe biden and xi jinping, will have their first virtual summit next week since mr. biden took office. so obviously both sides trying to provide some momentum going into that and create a more positive atmosphere for the two leaders to have their first virtual meeting. but, of course, the question right now is given this development, will this really see the two countries' relationship bottom out given all the remaining deepening stru structural contradictions in taiwan on human rights. >> thanks so much. a legislative victory for president biden on his infrastructure plan is overshadowed by growing concerns on inflation.

no, i have to get to work, have to have gas. >> reporter: gas prices, according to the government, were almost 50% higher in october than they were a year earlier. this kind of pain is almost universal in america. new government data shows inflation has skyrocketed over the past year, rising more than 6%. the biggest increase in 31 years. >> we've gone for a couple of generations now without seeing this kind of inflation, so people just aren't used to this kind of hit in their pocketbook. >> reporter: almost all of this, experts say, is related to the pandemic. consumers are taking a hit at the grocery store. >> it went up $2 from 10.99 to 12.99. that's high. >> reporter: the average price of meat, poultry, fish and eggs has gone up 11% from a year ago. >> people are not going to be eating as well. they're certainly not going to be eating out as much, and not buying expensive items in the grocery. food, fuel, rental prices, these are what most people spend most of the their money on. >> reporter: rent for the average urban american rose 2.7% from a year ago. the cost of electricity went up 6.5%. home prices have soared due to tight nfl tri and interest rates. new car and truck prices up 2.9%. caused in part by growing demand and supply chain problems. >> ports are backed up. that means that you get more containers stacked up. there aren't enough truck drivers, so more containers get stacked up. they don't get delivered. >> reporter: and growing concerns about prices and supply for the holiday season. what about the holiday season, are we going to be able to buy the gifts that we want? >> there probably are going to be shortages. it's too late now to produce something that isn't available in supply, in stock on the store shelf now and ship it from china or elsewhere across the globe. >> reporter: is there price relief on the horizon? the economic analysts we spoke to say that could take about six to 12 months if the pandemic eases significantly, if more people get vaccinated, get back to working in stores and in offices. but as for the high price and the shortage of cars, well, experts say that's going to take a little bit longer to solve because the computer chips used to make cars are so specialized and there still aren't enough of them coming into the united states. brian todd, cnn, washington. the federal judge has ruled against the texas ban on mask mandates in schools, saying it violates the americans with disabilities act. lawsuit from a disability rights group argues students with special health needs and underlying conditions who contract covid are more likely to end up in the i.c.u. and masks are needed to protect them. the texas attorney general says he plans to challenge the decision. germany has broken another covid record. for the fourth day in a row, daily i think effects hit a pandemic high. more than 50,000 new cases were reported today. much of europe are seeing a similar spike. the world health organization says new infections are up 7% compared to last week and the region's death toll increased 10% during that same 12re67. scott mclane is following this live from london. scott, dismal picture on the continent. so let's start with the situation in germany. >> reporter: yeah, kim, there are serious concerns in germany right now about the covid-19 situation as you mentioned, just hitting a record high for daily case counts in the entirety of the pandemic. 50,000 in just a single day, which is up sharply from where they were just one week ago. the german chancellor says this is all pretty simple. not enough of the german population is vaccinated to prevent the virus from ripping through the 33% of the german population which has no immunity. at least no immunity from vaccinations, or from vaccination at all. as a result, the city of weberl, for instance, says on monday unvaccinated people or people without natural immunity will not be able to go to the hairdresser, gym, the list goes on because of the i.c.u. units. there is a noticeable east/west divide when it comes to the covid-19 situation. yes, case counts undoubtedly are high in many western european countries and growing. but people are not dying at nearly the same rate that they are in many eastern european countries. i want to show you some graphs that really illustrate the point here. so, take romania, bulgaria, and ukraine. this is their daily death toll per 100,000 of the population. that's at the top of your screen. compare that to portugal, uk and spain which have a fraction of the deaths per 100,000. now, these last three countries i mentioned, portugal, uk, spain, they have some of the highest vaccination rates on the continent. in europe, compare that to romania, bulgaria and ukraine that have some of the lowest vaccination rates in europe, and so the difference in outcome is it pretty easy to explain. many of these countries are trying to convince people even to just take the first shot of the vaccine. meanwhile, what many western countries, kim, they are already moving on to the booster shot to try to get older people and more vulnerable parts of the population to take that. >> as if we needed any more convincing to get the shot. scott mclane in london, thanks so much. all right. still ahead, trying to keep 1.5 alive. the british prime minister rallies delegates at the cop-26 climate summit hoping to limit global warming. plus a sea of men, women and children stranded at the eu boshder without adequate food and shelter. they condemn them for weaponizing helpless migrants. that's also gentle on skinin. for wrinkles results in one w week. neutrogena®. for people with skin. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?

>> reporter: so, thousands of migrants, men, women and very small children came waking up along that border, along the belarus/poland border. we understand overnight a kosko according to polish, 42 foreign nationals were sent back by polish troops into belarus. the dangerous crossings, overnight, very freezing cold conditions and on both sides, of course. these migrants are facing two armed forces. on poland, there are 15,000 polish troops right now along that border, ceiling it off. of course, on the other side, belarusian troops i know as well you are seeing the images on our screen right now. but poland says this is not a migrant crisis. it is a political one. it is pointing the finger at president luke lukachenko. just yesterday the european president was at the white house meeting with president biden to try to coordinate a response to this crisis. take a listen to what she said when she stepped out to speak to reporters. >> we absolutely share the assessment that this is a hybrid attack of an authoritarian regime to try to destabilize democratic neighbors and this will not succeed. we will protect our democracies. we agreed that we coordinate our outreach to the countries of origin so that they take care of their citizens, not to fall into the trap of the lukashenko regime. >> reporter: very strong words there from her. belarus for its part denies these accusations. they blame the -- eu says the migrant crisis is it is one of the eu's making and calling out the eu for failing on its humanitarian commitments. beyond this geopolitical crisis there is the larger context here, kim. this is an extremely important border. the eastern flank of nato, the border of the eu. there's a lot of finger pointing right now, of course, at president putin of russia who backs alexander lukashenko and is seen as using human tools to try to destabilize that important border. that is why the european commission president again was meeting with president biden to try to coordinate sanctions, but there's already been sanctions in place against belarus, already sanctions in place against russia. will more sanctions cause belarus to pull back these migrants, pull back from the brink? what does it mean for those desperate families, still huddling trying to survive on that border, kim. >> important questions. we'll keep on this important story. thanks so much. just ahead, troubling testimony from day four of the three white men accused of killing a black man runging through their neighborhood. >> what has happened in this case is a lynching in the 21st century. with mucinex all-in-onone you'e got unbeatable relief from your worst cold anad flu symptoms. so when you need to show your cold who's boss, grab mucinex all-in-one... and get back to your rhythm. feel the power. beat the symptoms fast. want video content to engage your audience?

>> i do. >> reporter: day four saw prosecutors trying to dismantle the defense claim the three defendants were attempting a citizens arrest. the day 25-year-old ahmaud arbery was killed. on the witness stand, a detective testified when he asked gregory mcmichael if he had seen arbery commit a crime that day. mcmichael said he didn't know. and that it was up to investigators to try to figure that out. here's the detective reading mcmichael's answer from a transcript. >> that's just it, i don't know. that's what i told -- i told what's her name out there. i said, listen, you might want to go knock on doors down there because this guy had just done something that he was fleeing from. >> reporter: in earlier testimony the first officer to interview gregory mcmichael while still on the scene said he never once mentioned the men were attempting to apprehend arbery. >> did he ever tell you while you were talking to him that he was attempting to make a citizens arrest?

this raises so many questions and we don't have answers. starting midfielder of the women's soccer team assaulted last week, brutally beaten with iron bars, missing the following game. all right. well, we learned yesterday, and the story took a dark turn, when we learned that her teammate dialo had been arrested, taken into custody, questioned by police in connection with this beating. is it possible that dialo was connected in any way? she reportedly, according to french daily league keep, says she has nothing to do with this. but it has raised questions about whether there might be competition for playing time. another element reported by french daily la keet this morning, that threatening phone calls had been made late last month to multiple players on the squad, offering to reveal details of the private life of the victim by someone who claimed to be her former lover. so there are two angles into this, according to la keep. somebody in leon already arrested, a convict, convicted of charges of torture and racketeering, kim. >> gosh, what a bizarre story, and still more questions than answers. do we know what happens next? >> reporter: well, the psg is being very coy about this. we've got no answers. really we're waiting for answers from the prosecutor and from police. it depends who did what in this story. if dialo is indeed involved in the assault on her teammate, then she is going to be charged. but we're not there yet. again, she denies involvement. there are many questions swirling about whether perhaps she did this to get more opportunity on the field, more playing time. after all, last week, these two players who were both part of the french national team, we saw that when she was sidelined with injury, dialo was called onto the pitch, which otherwise would not have happened. so, many questions at this stage, kim. >> all right. we'll keep an eye on that very strange story. cyril vanier in paris. thanks so much. all right. we want to show you live pictures of an armistice day in paris. it marks world war five decades ago. kamala harris went to mend fences with a long time ally after the diplomatic storm caused by u.s./britain/australia deal that cost paris a contract. i'm kim brunhuber in atlanta. thank you so much for watching.
