>> another video shot of the parade shows you just how quickly the suv sped past a marching band, still heading down the street. then, in this one, the driver is seen plowing through barricades before driving offer. off. police say an officer did fire his weapon at the vehicle to try to stop it but no one was injured by that gunfire. one woman caught the moment the vehicle ran down members of a marching band, and we should warn you that while we are not going to show the moment of impact, the video is disturbing. earlier, cnn spoke with a man who witnessed the terrifying scene unfold. he had just finished marching in the parade, himself, and was circling back to watch it for himself when he spotted the speeding suv. he described what happened, next, to cnn's pamela brown. >> i saw an suv speeding along the parade route. and then, all of the sudden, heard a loud bang. and then, i heard deafening cries, screams from people in attendance, people marching in the parade. folks started running away from the scene, and folks were -- left their belongings behind, holding onto their kids, running away from main street where the parade was. and then, when the crowd cleared out, it looked like that there were people on the ground who -- who were struck by the vehicle. >> the ones that were on the ground -- um, those that you did see -- were -- were they young? could you tell? i know there were a lot of young people in this parade. >> it -- it was hard to tell, but it did look like there were -- there were small children. um, who were lying on the ground. i just saw -- saw bodies lying almost lifeless on the ground, so it was really hard to tell and it was so much happening, all at one time. >> and now, i want to bring in drake bentley, a reporter with the milwaukee journal sentinel who was sent to the scene shortly after the tragedy occurred. drake, thank you so much for joining us. and of course, there is still a lot we don't know about this deadly incident. particularly, why this happened. but police have a person of interest in custody, so perhaps those questions will be answered. we don't know. so, what all do we know so far? and what more are you learning about what happened? >> so, shortly before joining this program, we learned that five are dead, more than 40 are injured. um, that's the latest numbers that authorities have provided. we still don't have a motive as to why someone would do this. um, it's still very early. um, investigation's still ongoing. but, you know, people can speculate about why they did but we still don't have a determined motive from the person that did this. >> yeah, that's a very important point you make there, of course. and we are expecting another news conference in just a few hours from now. and hopefully, we will learn more. but authorities have said they believe this was an isolated incident. what was the scene when you arrived? and what were witnesses telling you? >> so, when i arrived, i came flying to waukesha from milwaukee down interstate 94. and the whole way up there, there was just ambulances passing me the other direction. presumably, headed towards the hospital. and when i arrived on the scene, my company had sent me to city hall to see if any elected officials would arrive, any authorities. the mayor did arrive. and then, he -- they reshuffled all the media members to the fire department. that's where we waited for instructions from the police. we did catch the mayor and the police chief and the fire chief in a walgreens lot. they only gave a brief statement where they said that 20-or-so people were injured. we now know that went up to 40. it's -- from -- from talking to people, it's -- um, they're just devastated. they don't know why something like this would happen in their community. um, you know, there is a lot of, you know, national spotlight on this area of the country right now with the trial of kyle rittenhouse. and, you know, people are naturally going to connect the two events and let's hope that they aren't connected but that possibility remains. but that tells you the level, you know, the emotions that people are having right now where it's a very divided country. emotions are at an all-time high right now. >> yeah, and unfortunately, when we're not hearing too much from police, people start to fill in all the gaps themselves, don't they, with a lot of misinformation? >> yeah. >> we were just wondering, have authorities said anything about why they think the vehicle appeared to try to miss some people but hit others? have they -- have they said anything about that? >> they have not said anything about that. um, a reporter during the press conference did ask about that. police chief said that he would rather not comment on that at this time. >> and what is the sense there? what is the mood there in the community? >> well, i mean, it's -- it's a devastating event and, um, you know, people are on edge. they -- you know, the first thing they wanted to know is am i safe? what's going to happen? we -- we've had some -- some members of some waukesha citizens come to the fire department when this was all happening and, you know, were pretty upset and were wondering, you know, saying things like i have got my -- my neighbors are on edge. they don't -- they're going to defend their homes. what's going on? you know, and it's just a very scary time right now. >> yeah. understandably so. br drake bentley with the journal sentinel, thank you so much for talking with us. we appreciate it. >> yep. well, for so many watching this tragedy unfold, one question comes to mind. how do we stop this from happening again? cnn national security analyst, juliette kayyem, says it might not be possible to entirely eliminate the threat. but communities can reduce risks. take a listen. >> how can wie be better prepard at that moment of impact, right? so we can minimize losses, and thinking about after the bad thing because there is -- there is no way you could have societies like ours -- people want to get together. they want to go to sporting events. they want to go to parades. it's the holidays. it's been a pandemic. people want to be together. we want them to be together safely and vaccinated. there is no way that you are going to get the -- the threat down to zero. so what we have to do is also anticipate, as you said, sort of, you know, a world in which these may be recurring but their success is measured if less harm is done. and i -- that is, unfortunately, in an age of all sorts of mayhem -- whether natural or -- or manmade. that is what we're going to have to think about. so from that perspective, this is an incident that is tragic but it could have been so much worse. >> and still to come here on cnn. why critics are skeptical about tennis star peng shuai's call with the international olympic committee about her safety and wellbeing in china. plus, two kidnapped missionaries in haiti have been released. the latest. plus, white house reaction after this short break. motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts. like those nagging headaches. uncomfortable period pains. and disruptive muscle aches. you can count on f fast, effective relief with motrin.

>> the ioc has a very close relationship with beijing and concern over peng shuai, her safety, and her welfare has cast a shadow on the beijing olympic winter games, now just two and a half months away. and with talk of possible diplomatic boycotts, um, this was something that they needed to address and they did address it with this in this highly-choreographed and stage-managed response. a form of a video chat. according to the ioc, they say that thomas bach -- the president of the ioc -- had a 30-minute video chat with peng shuai, in which she said that she is safe and well. um, she also said, um, that she is living in her apartment in beijing and that she would like to have her privacy respected. i should also add in regards to that video chat, two other individuals were present, including a chinese sports official. and cnn -- we were not able to get video of that video chat. all we were able to get was a statement about it from the ioc, as well as a photo still in which you see peng shuai smiling at the camera. but, look, it's been about three weeks since peng shuai made that explosive allegation when she accused a very powerful man -- um, the former-vice premiere of china -- of -- of sexually assaulting her. she made that statement. that has been censored. it was taken down 30 minutes later and she's been under blanket censorship, since then. and allegations that she made -- it's not reported on at all in state media in china or shared on social media in china. and that led to the international outcry about peng shuai and her situation, and it led to that hashtag that went viral, where is peng shuai? and in response to that, we had chinese state-run media, over the weekend, send out some footage, clips, videos, purporting to show peng shuai out and about active in beijing. but for, um, her supporters, including the women's tennis association, they say it's not enough. you saw a bit of the statement that came up earlier there. they are not accepting this video evidence, and a lot of her supporters are not accepting this ioc video chat, either, because their concern is she may be active and alive and well in beijing but is she free, rosemary? >> and as you have been reporting to us, we have been looking at the feed of cnn in china. no one in china can watch cnn at this moment while we're covering this story. talk to us about that, and whether anyone across china, apart from the authorities there of course, know about peng shuai's story? >> sure, cnn has been censored when we have been bringing up the peng shuai story and the allegations, especially since the story started to heat up about a week ago. um, but, you know, it's not only there but also on social media. there is a blanket censorship ban. there is no discussion about peng shuai and the allegations. it's not reported, as i said, in state media as well. um, but also, through the government, we have reached out to the state council information office for comment, especially in regard to these serious allegations against this former-vice premiere. we haven't heard anything. and for a few days now, international media has been reaching out to the ministry of foreign affairs for comment. a briefing is due to take place very soon. they continue to say we decline to comment because this is not a diplomatic issue. rosemary. >> kristie lu stout in hong kong. many thanks t. two of the 17 missionaries kidnapped in haiti last month have been freed. the white house issued a statement that they welcome rep reports of their release. matt rivers has been following the story from the beginning, and has the very latest. >> reporter: well, it had been several weeks since we received any substantive updates on the status of 17 missionaries who were in haiti when they were kidnapped back on october 16th by gang members, according to haitian security forces. the gang being a gang called 400 mawozo. they kidnapped these 17 missionaries just outside of port-au-prince while this group was on a missionary trip but the group they were there working for -- christian aid ministries -- they released a statement sunday later in the day saying two of the 17 missionaries that have been kidnapped have now been released. they really didn't give too much more information. part of the statement they said, quote, the two people that were released are safe, in good spirits, and being cared for. we cannot provide or confirm the names of those released, the reasons for their release, why they are from or their current location. they went on to say that our hearts are with the 15 people who are still being held at this time. so basically, confirming that two of the 17 missionaries that were kidnapped have now been released. a source in haiti's security forces did confirm to cnn that those two hostages have been released. the white house issued a statement basically saying that they welcome these reports of the hostages being released. they don't have further comment at this time, according to a white house spokesperson. but this is a big development in this case. and certainly, one that is quite welcome at this time after so many weeks of not hearing anything. you can imagine, how thrilled the loved ones of these two people who have released must feel. but of course, the focus also remains on the 15 missionaries that remain basically as hostages in haiti at this time. you know, as they are continuing to be held by that gang. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city. still to come. a win for the socialists in venezuela and chile's presidential election is headed for a runoff. the latest on two big elections in latin america. that's ahead. and abdalla hamdok is, again, the leader of sudan's transitional government. details of the deal that reinstated him as prime minister following last month's coup. we are back with that and more in just a moment. what a pain in the... alice?

>> well, rosemary, i think some of the key aspects of this deal, which is worth reminding everyone, resulted in the prime minister who had been kept under house arrest for nearly a month since that october 25th military -- has done this deal which, in some ways, critics say legitimizes the military's takeover because he is sitting down and inking a deal with the very people that put him and much of his cabinet and other political leaders under arrest or detention. what the prime minister who will be reinstated said is he wanted the bloodshed to end. scores of people have been killed in protests since that military takeover. but some of the details are sketchy, including how exactly the military will share power with civilian groups. and very soon, if not before even the deal was inked, there was fierce criticism from civilian groups, professional associations, and others who were instrumental in pushing out omar al bashir in 2019 and moving towards elections. it's hard to see how the prime minister can maintain some of the support where you see the protests that immediately broke out in parts of the city. i think this woman protesting reflected the views of many. >> translator: you don't have anyone really to represent us. that is why i am asking the resistance committees to speak up on our behalf because we don't have politicians, otherwise. so they must do the work of politicians, deliver our demands, tell the leadership what the people want, and give them a timeframe. if something is not achieved, we will be back on the streets. the civil disobedience can continue and not even death will stop us. >> those groups promised to continue protesting which leaves this deal potentially shaky. but it does mean that there will be some of these key details ironed out and i think it does show -- or many believe it shows that the generals who -- who orchestrated this coup really overstepped their mark. there was instantaneous criticism and sanctions put in from the african union and others. now, they are dialing that back but whether they can hold the shaky coalition remains to be seen. >> david mackenzie bringing us the latest. many thanks. still ahead here on cnn, as europe tries to fight rising covid cases, protestors are pushing back against restrictions they thought were a thing of the past. we'll take a look. how does amerisave deliver such low mortgage rates time after time?

and how do you overcome this anti-vax sentiment? >> that is a good question. also, a difficult question. it's not one -- uses vaccination. we have at least three different reasons not to vaccinate -- not to become vaccinated. one is based on religion. you know, so-called bible belt. there is a general low uptake of any vaccine, including the corona vaccine. so that's one. and then, we have the people with a migration background who hardly speak dutch and live in certain areas. there is also a low uptake. there is certainly distrust. latest what i heard is that somali women said that if they would get vaccinated, that was meant by the government to kill them. act of kill them. so, that's really almost incomprehensible. and then, we have the anti-vaxers who -- all kinds of weird reasons, conspiracy theories of big pharma, of bill gates and that is a very vocal, active group who will flat-out refuse, no mawhat you try. >> yeah, misinformation being right at the center of all that apparently. of course, scientific evidence is now showing that a third booster shot is the answer to stopping covid in its tracks. what's your view on getting those open to being vaccinated that third-booster shot, given it was just approved here in the u.s. for all those adults 18 and over? >> we have just started with the 80-plus group to get the booster vaccination. um, i think that most people that did get two shots also want to take three shots. but the argument that you would need an additional shot is also used by the anti-vaccine movement and say it shows, again, that the vaccines don't work. and now, they want you to take a third shot and maybe a fourth and a fifth. where is the end? >> right. and of course, now, there is a treatment. these covid pills will become available to most people, eventually. how confident are you that the various covid pills -- because there's -- there's a couple of companies that are putting these out -- they are being approved. will they help those who resist the vaccine? and could those pills, eventually, turn this around along with the -- the vaccines, of course, for those people who have accepted the science on this? >> yeah. they will have to see, of course, how effective those pills will be in the practice. but i have good hopes that it is effective. for the religious group that refuses vaccination, they do accept treatment. so for them, it will be good. also, of course, for everyone who is vaccinated but because of their weak immune system, they still could be vulnerable, that is good. and i am sure that everyone wants to remain healthy and that if you are opposed to vaccination, you still will go to the hospital or to your general practitioner and have yourself treated. so i think that adequate treatment now for this horrible disease will certainly have its impact. >> let's hope people can be smart and turn this around. ger rikers, thank you so much. we appreciate it and you. vaccine misinformation is taking a tragic toll in much of eastern europe, too. vaccination rates are low there. -- are lower there than in western europe. the problem is especially acute in romania with just under 36% fully vaccinated, it has one of the lowest vaccination rates in europe. and it's suffering wone of the highest mortality rates in the world. something sadly evident in hospitals and morgues across the country. cnn's ben wedeman joins me now from bucharest, romania, with more. ben, we have been seeing a lot of anti-vax sentiment across the globe. but it appears particularly evident in romania or there could be other contributing reasons for why the vaccination rate is so low. what -- what are the main reasons for this resistance there? >> reporter: rosemary, it is a lethal combination of fake news, misinformation, superstition, and suspicion. all of which, have been stoked by some religious figures, as well as politicians who are basically taking all of those factors and making them even worse. now, this, despite the fact that romania actually got off to a pretty good start with its vaccination program last year. but as you said, romania, now among european countries, has the second-lowest vaccination rate just after bulgaria. now, the numbers are starting to go down. this is romania's fourth wave. the numbers are starting to go down and that, ironically, has prompted the cabinet, which is composed -- which is actually a caretaker cabinet composed of a rather shaky coalition to consider the possibility of relaxing some restrictions. clearly, they're concerned about the sort of unrest the opposition that has come from the streets in western europe to stricter measures. so, it seems that they are putting politics before public safety when it comes to trying to bring this pandemic under control. rosemary. >> all right. our ben wedeman bringing us the very latest from bucharest. many thanks. britain's queen elizabeth attended the double chrisening of two great grandchildren one week after a sprained back caused her to pull out of the remembrance day service. the 95-year-old monarch was spotted after leaving the baptisms in windsor. the queen resumed taking part in events just a few days ago. i'm rosemary church. for our international viewers, world sport is up next. for those watching here in the united states, i'll be right back with more "cnn newsroom," including an update on that deadly accident in wisconsin. you are watching cnn. to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go.

and see the bill passed and signed into law by christmas? and how much damage has all this infighting caused, particularly now that we hear president biden plans to run in 2024? >> well, this has certainly been a long process and i think for democrats, very damaging. it's difficult to get things together and to get a big bill like this and the infrastructure bill passed when you have such minimal margins. really, no margin at all in the senate. but, look, i think there is a pretty good chance that some version of what just passed in the house will get through the senate. it's clearly going to be reduced and changed. there are several pieces in the house-passed bill that won't pass muster in the senate, mainly because senator manchin from west virginia has already indicated he is opposed to them. but something is going to get through. they've lost too many pints of blood over this, and they know they have to get it done, preferably by january 1st. they -- they can go all night if they have to but the sooner, the better. >> yeah, it has been a tortured journey, hasn't it? and of course, president biden's approval rating are rock bottom right now, according to most polls. but could that change significantly once the pandemic is behind us, his agenda approved and operational, all of which should bring inflation down? >> yes, that's the ideal scenario for democrats for the midterm election year. there is just enough time for the pandemic to be corralled in ways that it has not yet been, which obviously will be through greater vaccination and maybe the new pills being developed. second, inflation has to die down. certainly, with gasoline and food prices. but of course, that's also tied, to some degree, with the economy generally and to the pandemic. so it's -- it's not impossible that all of these things could happen. and then, in combination with the two big bills that have passed, if the democrats ever get around to telling people it's possible democrats could moderate their losses next year. i think it's a bit much to hope for democrats to hold the house. they have such a small margin in their majority, and the senate is going to be tough, too. but it does matter whether the republicans control by five seats or 50. that's for sure. >> yeah, we've seen that, haven't we? of course, on top of these domestic challenges internationally, president biden is dealing with china, taiwan, russia, ukraine, iran, cyber attacks, the fallout from afghanistan. it is a never-ending list. how much does all this further weaken the president's position with his polls already low, of course, and how risky is this for biden on the international stage? >> it's very risky. a lot of it is tied to the fact that domestically it biden is viewed as weakened. his public polls are down you mentioned. that's true across the board. adversaries sense that, and they tend to pile up, they tend to take action and cause problems when they sense that a president may not have the domestic backing to take dramatic action to oppose them. so all of this is related, and that's why democrats still have some hope that they can stabilize the situation and improve biden's ratings, probably not into the mid 50s again, but if they can just get him back up around 50 or 51%, they'll be in better shape for the midterms. >> meantime back in the u.s. voting rights continue to come under increasing pressure with some republican governors and others finding ways to shut out prospective democratic voters by all means possible. the most recent, of course, ohio governor mcmcguire sign a new congressional district map into law that favors the republican party, further diminishing democracy in this country. what should be done about this? and how has it been allowed to happen so openly? >> well, it's been allowed to happen for decades and it's gotten worse with each new census. unfortunately for the democrats, republicans already control the so-called trifecta. governor in both houses of the state legislature in far more states than the democrats do. and unless it's a state with a non-partisan commission, and most states don't have that, if you control the trifecta, you control redistricting. the house districts at the national level and also the senate and house districts at the state level. so this is more of the same, but for democrats it's even more of more of the same because republicans have done so well in state elections over the past decade. >> larry sabato, always great to get your political analysis. appreciate it. >> thank you, rosemary. authorities are searching for the man accused of trying to bring a gun through security at the atlanta airport and accidentally fired off a shot. this was the scene on saturday after the sound of the gunshot sent travelers scrambling for safety. police say 42-year-old kenny wells mistakenly fired the weapon when he lunged for it inside his bag at a tsa checkpoint. the convicted felon then reportedly fled into the chaos with gun in hand. cnn's nadia romero has more. >> reporter: the manhunt continues for 42-year-old kenny wells. police say he is the passenger that came in through the tsa checkpoint here at atlanta's airport and had a firearm. and accidentally discharged that firearm, and then he was able to run away. he was able to flee during all the chaos and confusion that ensued. so they are still looking for him with multiple arrest warrants out for 42-year-old kenny wells. now, this happened at the busiest airport in our country here at hartsfield-jackson international during what was a busy weekend, as many holiday travelers were trying to get to their families and friends ahead of the u.s. holiday of thanksgiving. so this was a time when many people were already in the airport and then a scare happened. and then we saw the domino effect of a ground stop temporarily stopping planes from taking off or landing. people were waiting hours trying to make their way out. but we do know there were more security measures this thanksgiving compared to last year because of more security cameras. now, an airport spokesperson tells us they installed more than 300 new cameras here at the airport back in january, bringing that total up to more than 3,000. and they were able to use those cameras to see exactly what happened in this particular incident on saturday afternoon. those cameras are being monitored 24/7 by the tsa and by the airport emergency operations. but the manhunt still continues for 42-year-old kenny wells. nadia romero, cnn atlanta. a brazen robbery caught on camera in illinois. take a look. police say at least 14 people forced their way into this louis vuitton store in oak brook last week. then stuck merchandise into garbage bags they brought with them. the thieves reportedly made off with at least $100,000 worth of hand bags and other items. police are still searching for the perp trainers. -- perpetrators. oregon state police say they have seized 500,000 pounds of illegal marijuana with a extra value estimated at half a billion dollars. police say they found the drugs in several warehouses along with migrant workers living in what they described as sub-par conditions. recreational marijuana is legal in oregon, but it's illegal to manufacture it without a license. tiger woods is getting back in the swing of things. the golfing legend captioned that short video, making progress. it is the first video woods has posted of him golfing since his car rolled over in february, leaving the champion with serious injuries. and in san diego, california, it's raining cash. the doorp of an armoured truck popped open on a freeway, scattering cash all over-the-road. drivers then scrambled to grab the money, shutting down the entire northbound interstate. the california highway patrol says at least two people were put in hand cuffs after locking their keys in their cars and blocking traffic lanes. authorities are now asking anyone who picked up cash to please return it. well, thank you so much for watching. i'm rosemary church. time for a short break, then i will have more, another hour of "cnn newsroom" for you. do stick around. to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go.
