cats. doctor, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. bye-bye. thanks for joining me. i'm omar jimenez. we begin with the growing humanitarian crisis in gaza as calls for a ceasefire are mounting. right now israeli troops say they are engaged in ongoing intense fighting against hamas near one of gaza's major medical centers. al shifa hospital has already been hit by artillery fire. the idf has denied the claim by one official in gaza that the hospital is under complete siege with staff and patients unable to evacuate. gaza's biggest hospital is now out of service. the situation on the ground is growing more dire by the day for civilians. the red cross says gaza's health care system has passed the point of no return. but israel is pushing ahead with its attacks. the idf says their soldiers have now captured 11 hamas military posts. today thousands were able to move south during a seven-hour evacuation window. it was the first straight day israel has opened evacuation corridors in northern gaza. at the same time arab and islamic leaders met in saudi arabia. in a joint statement, they're demanding a complete ceasefire, calling for an end to what they call israeli war crimes and barbaric, brutal and inhuman massacres in gaza. opposition to the war is also being shared on streets around the globe. hundreds of thousands attend add pro-palestinian demonstration today in london. police there say they had to arrest more than 80 counter protesters for what they call a breach of the peace. so for more on all of this, let's begin on the ground in israel with cnn's ed lavandera in tel aviv. there are growing co ing concert the hospital situation in gaza. what are you hearing about the situation with gaza's health care system? >> reporter: it's been described as a catastrophic day inside of gaza for the hospital system. this al shifa hospital is the largest in gaza city. for year it's been the focus of the israeli military, which has said that much of the hamas military operations are dug underground in the vicinity of that hospital. obviously that has been one of the main points that israeli army officials are saying are the reason why this particular area is being targeted. officials from the hospital are saying that the hospital is completely surrounded. there have been some officials who have said it's been impossible for hospital staff and patients to evacuate the hospital as the fighting has intensified around there. it has been a dire day as several medical organizations, doctors without borders say they have lost contact with a number of medical teams. it's really been a dire day as all signs indicate the military offensive by israeli forces continues on the ground inside of gaza tonight. >> we also got an update from the idf this morning. what are they saying about their ground operations in gaza? >> reporter: we're awaiting another briefing from israeli defense force officials in just a little while. so far they've been very limited about what they have said about this situation around the al shifa hospital, saying they're engaged in intense fighting in the area and haven't really said much beyond that. it's important to remind people there are still 240 hostages inside of gaza. there is growing skepticism among many here in israel that this strategy that israel is employing right now of trying to destroy hamas military operations and trying to save the hostages can both be done at the same time. in fact, some family members of hostages put out a statement yesterday saying that victory should not be measures by whether or not hamas military fighters and the master minds of the october 7th attack are assassinated. victory should be measured by whether the hostages are saved and brought out alive. >> today more fighting between israeli forces and hezbollah along the israel/lebanon border. ben wedeman is in lebanon. what did hezbollah's leader have to say on this front? >> reporter: what the leader of hezbollah said today -- and today is hezbollah's martyrs day -- is that the fighting along the border is getting more intense and is reaching further into each other's territory. he said hezbollah used for the first time attack drones inside israel and hezbollah has iranian-designed short-range ballistic missiles with an explosive payload of 500 kilos. that's more than half a ton. in fact, hezbollah a few days ago put out video of that strike. it was a massive explosion, so big, in fact, at first some of us thought it might have been an israeli strike simply by the size of it. he also referred to the dozens of attacks on u.s. forces by pro-iranian militias in syria and iraq. he said if the americans want those attacks to stop on their forces in syria and iraq, they have to stop the war in gaza if they don't want this to be a regional war, they have to stop israel's war on gaza. >> i know we've been watching and monitoring some of the exchanges of fire across the israel/lebanon border. give us a sense of what it's like on the ground there. >> reporter: we're about 13 miles north of the border. there isn't really much we can see, but we can hear a lot. certainly for several hours this morning we heard pretty constant heavy thuds, which we believed to be israeli artillery. by one count, as many as 40 exchanges of fire happened between the israelis and hezbollah today. and today there was a significant threshold crossed. an israeli drone struck a lebanese truck 25 miles north of the border. until now, the area around the border on both sides has been the scene of most of the action, but this definitely was a change. also today we heard from the israeli defense minister referring perhaps to this intensifying exchange of fire across the border. he said, what we're doing in gaza can also be done in beirut. omar. >> ben wedeman. thank you so much. in london today, a large protest and counter protest over the war in gaza. claire sebastian is there. what did you see today? >> reporter: it was a really big turnout. the metropolitan police here in london saying it was around 300,000 who took part in this rally, very organized. this was something that struck me when i was part of this. there were a lot of stewards working with the organizing groups marshalling people along that route. there was some controversy around there because this is armistice day, this is the anniversary of the end of world war i, veterans day in the u.s. people very upset over the impact on children in gaza, very upset over the bombing recently of hospitals. we did see some banners among those participating in the rally on that. in particular, we saw anger directed not just to israel branbut in particular at the u.s. we caught up with some of the protesters. why did you come out here today? >> with palestinians in gaza, so this is all we can do. we want a ceasefire now. >> reporter: why here at the u.s. embassy in london? >> because the u.s. is a part of it. if they can help, they will. if they want to, they can help right now and they can act. people in hospitals are really suffering. >> i just want to say i'm jewish and i fully support this march and everything that's going on today. we absolutely have to stop the war. >> reporter: so all kinds of different people turned out. we saw a lot of families as well. there was a very heavy police presence, worried that these rallies might disrupt the armistice day commemorations. several dozen counter protesters were arrested. there were clashes with police in one incident. police said missiles were thrown towards police. this was mostly over in a slightly different area of london where the armistice celebrations had been happening earlier in the day. london not the only city in europe where we saw these pro-palestinian rallies today. in paris and brussels, thousands turned out. the scale that i witnessed today is a real measure of the public sentiment we're seeing that despite those horrific attacks on october 7th, many are coalescing around the idea that the response might have gone too far. >> they're the types of protests we're seeing all across the world right now. thank you so much. still to come, as a government shutdown looms, newly minted house speaker mike johnson and house republicans are expected to release their plan to avoid it. we'll discuss with democratic congressman glenn ivivy, next. a deeply divide d congress has less than one week left to prevent a government shutdown. federal funding expires friday, november 17th. house republicans hold a call as they map out a strategy. johnson has to decide between a bill to appeal to his parties hardliners or a bill that would get democratic support, pass the senate as well and dare his right flank to vote against it. joining me is congressman glenn ivy, a democrat from maryland. this is a pivotal moment for the new speaker, congress as a whole and the country. do you think he's going to introduce a bill that will pass or try to make some of the more hardliners in his party happy, similar to what we saw when kevin mccarthy was speaker? >> i'm not sure at this point. he had an appropriations bill on the floor earlier this week. he had to pull it before the vote for final passage. apparently he didn't have the votes within his caucus to continue moving forward. looks like the money honeymoon might be over. >> you're expecting to have an easy read to a deal done? >> it's not an an auspicious debut for this. the supplemental package the administration sent, he decided to break out the israeli supplemental piece and link it to irs funding, which has nothing to do with any of the emergency issues we've got going. instead it was sort of a bone, i guess, to his right flank there, even though everyone knew it was going to be dead on arrival when it got to the senate. i'm not exactly sure how he's going to play this, but he's not do you have a great start. >> if you had gone into a budget deadline super optimistic, i would have wonders what was wrong with you, because that's just not what d.c. does. obviously there are politics at play. there are budget items to figure out. at the end of the day, a government shutdown, if we get to that point, is harmful to the american public and specifically to your maryland district as well, which borders the d.c. area. i mean, how damaging would a government shutdown be? what are the stakes you are preparing as we head into this week? >> they'd be extremely impactful with respect to not just government workers who would be at risk if they're deemed nonessential, not getting paid for the work they're doing. essential personnel wouldn't get their checks right away. the impact across the country could be significant as well. for example, tsa, the border patrol, military, people getting veterans benefits, social security benefits, even though most of the benefits are guaranteed to continue moving, not all services would continue to be provided. all of those could have a bad ripple effect. the bigger piece too from a macro economic standpoint is the economic world, wall street and the like are already concerned washington is dysfunctional and putting the economy at risk. this is yet another bad sign with respect to that issue. >> one of the hangups last time around at the end of september when the bill was essentially punted to a week from today was around funding for ukraine. how important is it that the bill, for you, includes funding for israel, ukraine and the southern border? >> we think all the supplemental pieces should move forward. that would include humanitarian aid as well. the issue is going to be, for some reason, many republicans have decided they don't necessarily want to continue providing support for ukraine. that's part of why the speaker broke that out before the israel supplemental vote that he took a few weeks ago. i'm not sure what he's going to do at this point. the challenge, though, is there's a lot to get done in the next few days. there doesn't seem to be saa re sense of urgency. they sent us home two days early where we could be working friday, saturday, through the weekend. they don't seem to be concerned enough to push it into service in that way. >> i want to shift gears and ask you about another major development that impacts your district. the biden administration just selected greenbelt, maryland, for the location for the new fbi headquarters. it's a decision that's now being blasted by fbi director christopher wray, who called the process flawed. i want to read his statement. he said, in the course of our work with the general services administration, we identified concerns about a potential conflict of interest involving the site selection authority and whether changes that individual made in the final stage of the process adhered to the site selection criteria. our concerns are not with the decision itself, but with the process. i want to get your take on the fbi director's statement there, but also virginia democrats have vowed that this fight isn't over, that this selection isn't over. what's your response to some of them as well? >> i was really disappointed with the fbi director's attack on that civil servant, even though i think he basically acknowledged there was no evidence of a conflict of interest or any kind of misconduct. you do wonder why he would raise that kind of red herring. at the end of the day on the merits, the site selected in maryland saves american taxpayers between 1 billion and 1.5 billion. metro access, the subway was one of the factors. the greenbelt side is in walking distance. the site in virginia, you would need a shuttle to get back and forth. the greenbelt site is shovel ready. we could get started almost immediately. the site in virginia is encumbered with buildings that are already occupied. they'd have to clear the buildings of workers, tear the buildings down and clear the sites. it could delay everything by a year or two. it seems on the merits the greenbelt side was the right one to pick. i understand there are people who would rather have it be in virginia, especially folks in virginia. i think from the taxpayer standpoint and the federal government standpoint, this was the right selection. one last point. the building in d.c. has chunks of it falling down, putting pedestrians and employees at risk. i think it's dangerous for fbi employees to delay this unnecessarily when the decision to put it in greenbelt is right on the merits and we should move forward immediately. >> we will see if your virginia democrats are right or as you all in maryland alongside governor wes moore there celebrated the decision to it being in greenbelt. we'll see what happens. congressman glenn ivy, thank you so much. >> thank you. up next, a united nations agency says people of gaza are being choked by bombardment and siege. we will show you how one hospital is dealing with the horror of war. you want to be able to provide your child with the tools or resources they need. with reliable internet at home, through the internet essentials program, the world opened up. fellas, fellas. that's how my son was able to find the hidden genius project. we wanted to give y'all the necessary skills to compete with the future. kevin's now part of this next generation of young people who feel they can thrive. ♪ ♪ the israeli military is denying it was behind a strike that hit gaza's largest hospital friday. the idf claims the explosion at al shifa hospital was caused by a misfired projectile launched from inside gaza. shocking video obtained by cnn shows the desperate plight of civilians sheltered in and around hospitals in gaza. our report is very graphic and disturbing. >> reporter: night 34 of this war brought hell to gaza's hospitals. death so close for these medics outside the hospital they recited their final prayers. the hospital says several were injured in these strikes and two ambulances were completely damaged. it was one of several hospitals struck in what was a night of horror for those sheltering at medical facilities in northern gaza. on friday more heartache came with these devastating scenes at al shifa hospital complex. the haunting screams of those who survived this blast, dazed, confused, searching for loved ones amongst the dead and injured. imagines that infuriated humanitarians who volunteered at the hospital in the past. >> president biden, mr. blinken, can you hear me? prime ministers and presidents of the european countries, can you hear me? can you hear the screams from shifa hospital? can you hear the screams from innocent people, refugees sheltering, trying to find a safe place, being bombed by the israeli attack forces, hospitals that are the temples of humanity and protection? >> reporter: but this is a war with no red lines, and hospitals are no sanctuary for the tens of thousands crammed into these hospitals, desperate to be protected from a war like no other gaza has ever seen. for weeks the israeli military has been calling on civilians to move south to get out of harm's way, they say, but so many have been reluctant to heed these calls. air strikes and death have followed gazans to the south. nowhere is safe in this besieged territory. as the israeli military opened up a humanitarian corridor, tens of thousands had no choice but to run in scenes that evoke dark memories for palestinians of an exodus from decades past, one from which there has been no return. but not everyone can leave. the fighting has trapped some of the most vulnerable at two pediatric hospital where is hundreds are sheltering and doctors are calling on the icrc to evacuate them. hundreds are outside the hospitals. the hospital is surrounded by israeli tanks from all directions, this young woman says. we were asked to evacuate now. she and others with this cry for international protection and a safe passage out. back inside al shifa, there's no stopping, no pauses for those on a mission to save lives. a father anxiously looks to doctors for good news, only to be told his little boy is gone. never have gazans felt so abandoned, alone in this land of death and despair. >> the awful reality for so many of those trapped in gaza. thank you so much for that report. up next for us, the actors union national board in the united states voted to move the tentative contract forward with major studios. we're going to tell you what's next.. the sag-aftra board voted to push forward a tentative deal with studios after 118 days of grueling talks. the agreement ends one of the most disruptive chapters in hollywood's history. now actors are relieved to get back to their productions soon. camila bernal is live from los angeles. what else next here? >> reporter: first of all, you turn on the lights in hollywood, everybody can go back to work as this deal is waiting to be ratified. so in the next couple of weeks, actors and actresses will be able to ask questions to figure out what's in this deal and see whether or not they want to ratify this tentative contract. the voting begins on tuesday and goes until the first week of december. a lot of the leadership here saying this is a huge deal, that this is historic. they talked about two things they negotiated all the way until the very end, two things they said they were not going to change their minds on, the first being artificial intelligence and the protections there. some of the things they say they got was consent. now, actors and actresses will be able to know exactly what's going on or what's being used when it comes to their work and they will be able to get compensated for it. that's a huge thing. they're celebrating those protections when it comes to ai. the other thing they say they negotiated until the very last minute is a new pocket of money. that's how fran drescher, the president of the union, is describing it. it's money coming from streamers. what happens is there is a bonus program where it is success-based. that money is going to go to a fund and then it's going to be divided between some of the performers that are on these very high-performing shows and the rest is going to be distributed among union members. among other things they were able to accomplish is, of course, higher wages, in general a 7% increase and an 11% increase for some of the lowest paid in this industry. other things people were passionate about like sexual harassment provisions and even hair and makeup. take a listen. >> every single actor of color you could talk to i'm sure will tell you there's not been one time they have not brought their own base, done their hair. this is empowering our artists. it's also empowering the hair and makeup trailer, because it gives them more skills. >> reporter: as i was talking to actors and actresses, a lot of them telling me how difficult it's been over the last couple of months here in hollywood and being out on the picket lines standing side by side while listening to stories of people saying they're struggling to pay bills. everyone is relieved they'll be able to go back to work and everybody is happy to know this is the light at the end of the tunnel before this contract is ratified. >> we'll see how it goes. welcome news for so many people and especially those on the actors' side who feel like their lives and careers will be in a much better place because of this. still to come for us, two months after an earthquake ravaged parts of morocco, it remains a region in ruins. we're going to take you live to marrakesh where an aid group is working to provide essentials to those displaced. russia says it recruited former members from the wagner private military company after its leader yevgeny prigozhin was killed in a plane crash in august. ukrainian forces are also sending 30,000 recruits newly trained in the united kingdom to the battlefield. it's the u.k.'s largest military training effort since world war ii. fred pleitgen reports. >> reporter: ukrainian naval drones have occupied crimea. they hit two battleships, destroying the vessels. a key blow to russia's navy. according to updated information, they were sunk and kb can't be repaired. armored equipment was also destroyed, in particular a bmp on board one of the landing aircraft. cnn can't verify the incident and moscow has not commented. kyiv says they're continuing to pile pressure on russia's forces, ukraine saying its troops recently struck this corvette in the port with several cruise missiles. and the military intelligence service is claiming responsibility for assassinating a former pro-russian militia commander in the occupied city l luhansk. on the ground ukrainians acknowledge they have barely made any progress. >> i'm sure that we will have success. it's difficult. >> reporter: while both sides continue to bleed manpower with little territory changing hands, the russians seem eager to get former fighters of what was the wagner private military company once led by yevgeny prigozhin who was killed in a plane crash in august back on the t baale field. this video posted showing forces training together with russian mercenaries, some with wagner patches on their uniforms. the units practicing everything from infantry assaults to medical evacuations. russian president vladimir putin himself checking out military dune buggies at the southern command with his defense minister and top general. this is the very building wagner fighters occupied during the gr group's short-lived mutiny in june. putin has advocated for wagner fighters to get back on the battlefield. today you have the opportunity to continue your service to russia by signing a contract with the defense ministry, he says, or other law enforcement or security agencies or to return home. the russians claim hundreds of thousands have already signed up to fight in ukraine while kyiv vows to stand its ground no matter how many soldiers moscow sends. fred pleitgen, cnn, berlin. it has now been more than two months since parents of morocco were shaken by a devastating earthquake. almost 3,000 people died and thousands more injured. the earthquake hit marrakesh in a remote part of the country making it difficult to get aid to the thousands of survivors displaced. the united nations says around 110 million people are currently displaced around the world. that is an all-time high. so carrie murray is the president of shelter box a relief group. she joins us from marrakesh. what are conditions like on the ground there now months removed from this earthquake? >> well, we see there are hundreds of thousands of people displaced. high up in the atlas mountains, which was the epicenter of this earthquake, you see still so many villages where you have thousands of displaced families. and so we know that it's not an easy area to get to. it is a hard road to traverse. it's one road in and out, hairpin turns. it takes hours to reach these villages. when you arrive in the villages, it is absolutely rubble. some of these communities are 90 to 95% destroyed, and these families are still living in these very remote villages. >> to this point as far as you being on the ground there and talking to people there, what are people telling you? do any of them feel forgotten in a sense? >> i'll tell you they're very relieved that shelter box is there distributing emergency shelter, thermal blankets, solar lanterns, kitchen sets, the vital supplies these families need especially as they prepare for winter. in just a few weeks they'll start to see snowfall in the atlas mountains. our priority is moving families into emergency shelters where they will live for the winter and for the foreseeable future. it is going to be years before they can rebuild. they're thrilled to see us. it has been really a privilege to work alongside these families. we've been going village to village. we're serving about 20 different villages, 6,000 people that we're providing emergency shelter to. we're doing everything alongside our partner grand atlas. we're seeing this ground swell of support for local communities working alongside us. >> how much more difficult is it to get some of this assistance when disaster hits in some of the more remote areas like in these cases? >> it's very difficult. for shelter box, we preposition eight items all -- on supplies from dubai, but we had to work locally with our partners to work through the complexities of logistic supply chain, warehouse and trucks, volunteers to get all of this aid safely up to the families that so desperately need it. so it is not an easy process. it takes time. we are still conducting distributions. for now, it's a race against the fight to get aid in before the winter sets in. >> i know you mentioned a little bit about it already. we do have some pictures of some of what your emergency kit provides. can you tell us a little bit about what is included and any changes you're making sure. so the basic premise of shelter box is what are the basic things you need to sustain your life if you lose everything in an instant. we focus on the basic need of shelter so provision of emergency shelter. in this instance, it's standard relief tents. these are humanitarian tents. but we also provide the essentials to set up a household. thermal blankets. solar blankets. cooking sets to prepare a hot meal. basic things like mattresses, tools. it could be water purification. we customize the aid and have custom aid packages for these families in morocco based on meeting them in the moment they're in. and what they need is shelter. they need a place to sleep. i'll tell you, what working in the atlas mountains, we're still experiencing tremors and aftershocks and we know most of the area is rubble. it's very scary to sleep in damaged buildings. they prefer to sleep in a tent. for us, it's providing them tents, thermal blankets, solar lanterns and kitchen sets. >> your group has also been operating in kraukraine as well. while there are needs in both settings, some of the needs are very different. how different is it when you have to operate in a war zone? >> very. so i was working in kyiv earlier in the year and we were in the middle of winter. in many instances, i found families could be 50 people sheltering in a basement with no power, no heat. so it was providing people with everything from high thermal sleeping bags to basic things like wood stoves. also, repair kits. you have a lot of people living in homes damaged by the bombing. so basic things like plasintic sheeting for the windows. tarps where you had impact from the bombing. it's a very different type of solution in a war zone than in a disaster zone up in the atlas mountains here in morocco. >> i know there are so many that are appreciating the work you all are doing. please keep us posted as your efforts continue. for starters, thank you so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. coming up, a michigan judge opts not to rule on whether to block university of michigan's football coach suspension friday by the big ten. we're going to bring you the latest, nenext. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. right now, the third-ranked university of michigan football team is playing without his coach. jim harbaugh was given a three-game suspension as michigan was found to have violated the policy by using advanced scouting to use opponents' signs. a judge chose not to rule on a temporary restraining order, but to explain it all, andy scholes joins us now. what is the university of michigan's leadership saying about the suspension? >> the university of michigan is not happy that the big ten stepped in here instead of letting the ncaa investigation play itself all the way out. they're not happy they stepped in to make that three-game suspension into effect immediately. their athletic director, he slammed the conference in a statement before today's game against penn state. i'll read it to you. he said yesterday under the guidance of the ncaa rule regarding head coach responsibility, the big ten decided to penalize coach harbaugh without knowing all the facts and i find that completely unethical, insulting to a well established process to the ncaa and assault on the rights of everyone. especially in the big ten, to be judged by a fair and complete investigation. manuel went on to say the school looks forward to defending coach harbaugh in that hearing that's supposed to take place on friday where they're trying to get that temporary retraining order to allow him to coach on the sidelines for their final game. so they have the game at penn state, which he's not on the field for. they play at maryland then the big game against ohio state. if the school is able to get the restraining order, then coach harbaugh could get on the field for those games. as of now, the hearing is scheduled for friday. now michigan, they're undefeated. they've got maryland then the big game against ohio state. they're ranked third in the college football playoff rankings. they are in position to make the playoffs but steven a. smith said last night with all these allegations hanging over the program, they don't belong in the playoffs. >> as long as there's an open investigation, they're void of a conclusion by the ncaa and the big ten conference, michigan should not be allowed to participate in the college football playoffs. by the way, still coach players during the week. just can't be on the sideline for the day of the game and he could come back for the college football playoff. how in god's name is that a viable punishment? that is nonsense. i'm stating it then and i'm stating it now. >> michigan fans not happy to hear that kind of statement. but you've got the rest of the conference saying we need a punishment right now. we'll see how it all plays out. harbaugh not on the sidelines today. his status for the maryland and ohio state game up in the air. >> i'm not going to be able to say anything as eloquent so andy, thank you for being here. more news coming up. let's do it. thanks for joining me. i we start with israel's war against hamas. hospitals in gaza are facing a critical situation. the red cross says the healthcare system is past the point of no return. many hospitals are now out of services
