-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com living in limbo inside a train station. hundreds of people seeking a better life blocked by officials from entering western europe. sparked by piles of garbage protests fill the streets of beirut once again. and journalists from al jazeera vow to clear their names. i'm george howell in atlanta. this is cnn "newsroom." ♪ ♪ good day to you and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. we start the show this hour with the migrant crisis in europe,

three children near death in austria, they are now recovering in a hospital after being discovered in a packed van. police found 23 other migrants inside when they intercepted that van near the german border on friday. the driver was arrested. meanwhile, four suspected smugglers are being detained for a month in connection with the deaths of 71 migrants. their bodies were found in a truck on thursday. the hope of many on the trek through hungary is to get to austria and then on to western europe but hundreds of people are finding themselves trapped in limbo at a train station and to budapest we go. you have spent the past few days really following so many people on this mass migration. please set the scene for us today. >> well, george, more and more of these absolutely desperate individuals are going to be resorting to these criminal

gangs, these smugglers, that are shoving them 0 into the backs of trucks to get them to their final destination, conditions that are certainly not in the refugees' best interest, they have no choice. they are running out of money and their desperation is being compounded by these absolutely horrific and inhumane living circumstances. each person here has a story of misery. most refugees from the wars ravaging syria and iraq left to languish in the heart of europe. this is budapest train station turned refugee way station. some try to wash off the filth and crime as best they can to restore a bit of their dignity after a journey to get here has stripped them of it. they exist in limbo, waiting

away the hours hoping their road ahead to western europe will open. this 19-year-old asks that we not disclose her identity. she doesn't want her parents to see her like this. she has a nursing degree, two small children, but iraq is not a country that she can call home anymore. her husband worked at the family's hair salon but tragedy struck way too often. >> what made them decide that they couldn't go back to iraq was another attack on the hair salon and his uncle who taught him everything he knew was killed and his younger brother was wounded. they tried to board a train here, bought the tickets, but then were told, no, not without a visa. cars with drivers willing to bend the rules that can get them through price the at 500 euros plus per person. the scant operations leave them

in desperation. this person also doesn't want to appear on camera wiping away her tears as she tells us of her four and six-year-old in damascus. she's making the journey in hopes of her family can join her without having to go through this. people are saying the syrians smell. the way we're being treated without a place to shower turned us into this, she says. at the camp near the border, she said treatment was inhumane. they throw the water at us and you have to scramble for it like an animal. she escaped under the barbed wire but went back, unable to keep going alone, even in budapest she says the response whenever she wants to buy something is this. >> no, no, no, go. >> germany however says it will

take hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers so no one can comprehend why hungary won't let them go. george, people are running out of patience. they just can't keep living like this anymore, and yesterday we saw small demonstrations taking place, people holding up signs, begging to be released, begging for germany to do something, to pressure the hungarian authorities because germany has says it will welcome them. those people who you met in that story that you were just airing, they are still here. they are still trying to keep going. they are still trying to feed their children and maintain a certain level of dignity, but they can't anymore. people cannot be expected to continue living like this. >> thank you so much for sharing the stories and giving these

very personal examples of the many, many people that are making this mass migration. so as people try to get to germany, do you get a sense that authorities throughout europe are trying to figure out a way to deal with this influx of people or is this seeming to go nowhere at this point? >> at some points along the route, yes, we are seeing things beginning to change. for example, along the macedonia-greece border after macedonian authorities closed it for four days leaving people under the rain with no shelter, now that transit has been facilitated. but then we reach hungary, hungary that is building a wall, hungary that is trying to control the flow as it is coming through but doesn't have the infrastructure to be able to handle it, hungary is not necessarily a refugee or migrant-friendly nation. hungary doesn't want these

people here. parts and portions, significant portions of the population don't want these people here. we do see random small acts of kindness that are heartening, but it really is not helping those who are most in need and there's a completely illogical fact that people aren't being allowed to move on. yes, hungary and e.u. does have its own laws but these are out of ordinary circumstances and nothing is being done on the part of the government to begin to facilitate what's happening here. there needs to be a conversation, a lot of people are telling us, between the h g hung -- hungarian government to facilitate the movement here. a lot of those we're talking to are asking what can we do? we're going to end up running out of money and dying in the streets of europe if something isn't being done. the fact that there needs to be this conversation happening at

all levels is becoming all the more pressing at this stage and to put it in the ds words of one aide worker the starting point of a conversation means to start with the recognition this could be any one of us and we should not be forgetting that as we talk about how to handle the future and the plight of any of these people. >> it could be any one of us. hundreds are behind her live in budapest. thank you so much for your reporting. now, we take you to the trash troubles in lebanon. it started as a protest over uncollected garbage but now it has become a movement of thousands of people calling for a revolution against the government there. demonstrators took to the streets of downtown beirut on saturday. they waved flags and voiced their frustration over what they say is a corrupt government. mountains of garbage had been filling the streets after the country's largest landfill closed last month. our reporter has the story. >> what started as a peaceful

families protests on the square down the road behind me about 6:00 on saturday, slowly filled out in numbers and became angrier. last week, 500 people were injured. now, i have to say throughout the hours in which these protesters tried to get past one line of razor wire, found themselves stopped by a second one, police were comparatively restrained. they had water bottles and rocks thrown at them. after a while, many had frankly had gone home. below me, the small number left who were dancing for the cameras, they seemed pretty young and disenfranchised. the key larger group has spoken. after the hours dragged by, we

saw many less on the streets. the main protest movement that ended their protest encourage people to go home. lebanonese police urge them to go home. we saw a large number of police outside the prime minister's residence and chased away the remnants of the protesters. comparatively quiet compared to last weekend. this protest movement, could tens of thousands, hard to tell the number of real people on the streets, it achieved nothing. it got none of its demands resolved as a result of this protest. last weekend's violence will be

dealt with on wednesday. and the demand for a election the protesters, nobody knows what kind of election they wanted. do they want a parliamentary election, if they do, under what kind of electoral law? it's so antiquated, it may return the exact same parliament once again. a mountain of refuse still on the streets here. its younger generation trying to influence an older generation who they think has got very little to do with daily life here. many will worry if we see more violence if these protests repeat or frankly what could be done to drag lebanon out of the limbo it's in now.

thousands of people are protesting against the malaysian prime minister demanding that he resign. malaysians have been rallying all weekend in the capital city and elsewhere across the country. the prime minister is accused of taking $700 million from a state fund. he denies any wrongdoing. we are learning more about the man arrested in connection with the deadly bombing blast in bangkok earlier this month. thai police believe he is part of a group that carried out that attack and another bombing in the city the following day. our reporter has details of the arrest. >> police teams have been at this apartment building in the suburbs of bangkok since late saturday. dozens of members of the military, now in charge of thailand's government. police officers and forensic teams have been collecting

evidence from this apartment. over the last few hours, we've seen them bring out fans, a fridge-freezer, anything they can find. they have been collecting it. it's from this apartment building. they went up there and a few hours later, they emerged from the building with a man, his head covered in a black shroud. they took him away. now, initially they thought that this man was the main suspect in the arawan shrine bombing. they say this man is connected to both that bombing which killed more than 20 people and injuring 120 and the bombing the following day. no one was injured in that bombing at the river taxi pier in bangkok. now, we've seen them collect this evidence. we're expecting them to take it away. they have already taken one truck away. they have also shown us some of the evidence that they have found over the last few hours.

ball bearings, fuses, silver cylinders similar to the canister they believe and recreated that they said was perhaps the version of the bomb that was planted in the shrine, and crucially, dozens and dozens, a large pile of fake passports. initially they thought this man was turkish, they now say they don't know his nationality. the passports they found in this building are fake. they, of course, say there could be up to ten people involved. this man, they believe is one of those men. the al jazeera journalists say they will appeal the prison sentence handed down to them saturday. the judge issued a three-year sentence to all three men. they were charge in 2013 with spreading false news to harm the

government. one who was deported to australia in february says there is no evidence to support the allegation. >> there was never any evidence that the court presented that the prosecutor presented either in the first trial or in the second to confirm any of the allegations against us and in fact i would like to publicly challenge the prosecutor to present evidence of anything that we produced that was falsified. >> the journalists say they are innocent and doing their jobs. you are watching cnn "newsroom." it's been a decade since hurricane katrina slammed the coast. we take you back to new orleans to show you how things have changed. with hyaluronic acid it plumps skin cells with intense hydration and locks it in. for supple, hydrated skin. hydro boost. from neutrogena

inadequate response. this weekend, they remember the devastating events from ten years ago. wreaths were laid at a memorial where 100 remains of victims were interned. former u.s. bill clinton spoke at an interfaith prayer service there. even today, the images of people stranded by hurricane katrina are hard to forget. >> they were deplorable conditions i'll never forget. doctors, nurses, patients, making the most of an unfolding disaster inside the hospital called charity. >> we don't have electricity. we don't have water. you know, we can't run labs. we can't take x-rays. we're back to primitive medicine. >> we have no showers or toilets at all. >> for days after hurricane katrina first hit, the staff and

patients at charity waited, hoped, and prayed. ♪ i love you, i need you to survive ♪ >> i didn't realize how intimately connected to our patients we would be. prior to that, i assumed i had a wonderful relationship with my patients, but honestly most of them i couldn't tell you what their names were prior to katrina. >> communication with the outside world was near impossible. many news organizations had reported charity was safely evacuated, but then a doctor called into the situation room from inside the hospital to tell the world we are stranded. please help. >> initially we lost power and different parts of the hospital had trouble getting the backup jern raters to work. >> but still nothing, so determined to take matters into their own hands, the team at

charity paddled critically ill patients down the street to a nearby parking deck. the roof transformed into a makeshift helipad. >> we're trying as hard as we can to get them some help. >> what is going to happen these patients if we don't get out of here? >> two of them have already died here in this very spot. >> it was nearly a week after katrina first made landfall that the last patient was finally evacuated. but the hospital that had never shut its doors for nearly 300 years didn't survive. charity never reopened. and the long-term impact of that remains to be seen. i would say in the next ten years, our cancer rates will be higher, cardio vascular, stroke, heart attack will all be higher.

>> ten years to the month, lsu did finally open its brand-new billion dollar megahospital. it's certainly not too little. but the people of new orleans are hoping it's just not too late. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn new orleans. on saturday, the state's governor bobby jindal praised the people of new orleans. although the skeptics said that we would never recover, louisianians knew different. rebuilding a stronger louisiana was the only acceptable option to the resilient zens who call louisiana home. today, they have come back stronger than ever. >> the remnants of tropical storm erika is still a concern for meteorologists and our meteorologist joins us now.

>> even though erika has dissipated, we still have the possibility that the storm could potentially increase into a tropical storm going forward and that's going to bring concerns to florida. more on that on just one second. take a look at some of the damage that it did cause in hate at this when it moved through this particular region. here it is, nothing more than a blurb on the radar. however, the next major concern going forward is the potential of flash flooding. we have flood watches in effect from daytona beach all the way southward to miami. you can see rain totals, 2 to 4 inches, 4 to 6 inches just south of tampa. here's a look at a very active part of the world. this is across the central and eastern pacific. we have one hurricane lining up after another and there is one particular hurricane that we're focusing our attention on

because it does pose a threat to the hawaiian islands. you can see a well-defined eye with this hurricane. we have tropical storm warning across the east-facing shores of the big island. as the storm just makes its way north of the hawaiian island chain it will start to weaken. high surf. we could experience waves in excess of 30 feet across some of those east-facing shores of the big island. good news for surfers but bad news for coastal erosion. this is something we haven't seen for some time. below average temperatures for the pacific northwest. heavy rainfall still expected across the puj et sound into seattle, southward into portland. what's most important about this storm is the fact that it clocked hurricane-force strength

winds on friday. look at this. destruction island in washington, 87 miles per hour. it left scenes like this. take a look at the video, you can see some of the downed power lines and trees. unfortunately, there were two fatalities because of downed trees and wind gusts in excess of 85 miles per hour will easily do that. doing some research, that makes the trees very brittle and easy to take down in winds like that. >> bad situation. >> it is. >> you are watching cnn "newsroom." in the state of texas, a community is in mourning after the shooting death of a sheriff's deputy. authorities track down the suspect in a brazen gas station shooting. we'll have that story, plus a u.s. presidential candidate says one big business could be the key to solving the country's immigration issues. that story ahead as this broadcast continues around the

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you are watching cnn "newsroom." very good to have you with us. i'm george howell, the headlines this hour, the you stink campaign in lebanon. it began as a response to uncollected garbage but now tens of thousands of protesters are demanding the environment minnesoiste minister's resignation. demonstrations were mostly peaceful but a small group did clash there with police. the malaysian prime minister

is facing pressure from thousands of people to resign amid a financial scandal. protesters have been rallying against him this weekend. the prime minister is accused of taking $700 million from an indebted state fund. he denies any wrongdoing. austrian police intercepted a fan packed -- van packed with migrants on saturday. three children were near death. they are now recovering in a hospital. some of the items that police in thailand found inside the apartment of a suspect deadly bomb blast earlier this month at a bangkok shrine has been arrested. he is part of the group that carried out the attack and another one in the city the following day. now, capital murder charges in the execution style shooting

of a texas deputy. hundreds of people gathered to remember him. he was shot and killed as he fueled his patrol car friday night in what authorities are calling a senseless and cowardly shooting. our nick valencia has details. >> reporter: captured at his mother's house, the man who is believed to have shot a deputy at a gas station has been taken into custody. the man's mother called the harris county sheriffs department after learning her son may have been involved in the shooting. police say it appears to be an unprovoked execution-style killing. >> the witness called 911 let us know that one of our deputies had been shot. multiple units arrived, ems arrived on scene. unfortunately, the deputy passed. >> the deputy is identified as 47-year-old darryn goforth.

a ten-year veteran who was married with two children. >> i have been in law enforcement in 45 years. i don't recall another incident this cold blooded and cowardly. >> reporter: authorities say he was refueling his patrol car friday night when this man came up behind him and opened fire. >> the deputy then fell to the ground. the suspect continued over to him and shot the deputy again multiple times as he laid on the ground. >> reporter: the suspect then fled the scene in a red or maroon colored ford ranger pick up truck also caught on surveillance camera. >> it's a very bizarre incident. people understand, you know, it's tough enough being a deputy and being a law enforcement in this country right now, but for people the way they are right now, i have no words for what this type of person did. >> reporter: there's no apparent motive in the case. the deputy had investigated an

accident half an hour before the attack. police are looking into whether there's any connection. >> i think it's important to ask for the prayers of our community, for this deputy, his family, and our department family. >> the local fbi texas department of public safety and the u.s. marshall service all part of this investigation what's still yet to be clear is what exactly motivated this alleged gun man to carry out the attack. >> nick valencia reporting there. u.s. vice president joe biden made a surprise visit to democrats in his home state of delaware but did not drop any hints for a possible run for the white house. he thanked them for the support following the death of his son. he shook hands with all 300 attendees. meanwhile, chris christie, a republican candidate for president says he has a plan to

fix the immigration problem in the united states. he points to federal express. >> at any moment, fedex can tell you where that package is. it's on the truck. it's at the station. it's on the airplane, it's back in another station, it's back on the truck. it's at a doorstep. she just signs for it. yet, we let people come to this country with visas and the minute they come in, we lose track of them. we can't -- so here's what i'm going to do. i'm going to ask fred smith, the founder of fedex come work for the government for three months. just come for three months to immigration and customs enforcement and show these people. guess what of the 11 million people who are here illegally, 40% can't come in over the southern border. 40% of them came in legally with a visa, and overstayed their visa. we need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in and then when your time is up, whether it's three months or six months or nine months or

twelve months, however long your visa is. then we go get you, tap you on the shoulder, excuse me, thank for coming. time to go. >> other politicians have made similar suggestions in the past. in germany, thousands of people marched in the eastern city of dresden to support the migrants. it came a week after a drunken riot broke out in a nearby town outside a migrant shelter. german chancellor angela merkel that germany will take all syrian refugees who can make it across the border. syria refugee is getting a fresh start. this photo that then went viral on line showed him selling pens on the street doing the best he could while cradling his sleeping daughter on his shoulder. with the help of social media, the activist who posted those

images, they were able to find the man named abdul and in the process strangers then raised more than $100,000 for abdul's family. i spoke activist simon arson about what the single father of two plans to do with the money raised for him. >> we've been talking to abdul who is the refugee in the photo, and, you know, we asked him what he wanted to do with the money and he told us that he wants to, number one, educate his children, so set up a fund for his children's education, and he also wants to help other syrian refugees. so we're very happy about that since this amount will be fairly large, you know, many people have been asking is this fair to give one person all this money, and while yes in some ways it is because people are donating to him because of his story, it's really heart warming to see that he actually wants to use this money to help other syrian refugees. we're getting floods of refugees into the eurozone and we are struggling to deal with it, and i think one positive thing that

can come from this is to show that the people on the ground, in the european countries, and from abroad can actually come and step in where the government's have maybe been failing in some ways, the actual people can come in and help. this is a small story about one man right now. i hope and i pray that this will become a larger effort for more people to aid these refugees because it's imperative that we don't ignore these people they will be coming to europe and in larger numbers and we can't keep ignoring this problem, forever. >> abdul is one of four million registered refugees. many struggling to survive across turkey, jordan and lebanon. you are watching cnn "newsroom." more than 1,000 people flee venezuela. we will she you -- show you who is flocking out of the south american country carrying what they can on their backs. plus we'll explain why

here, bought the tickets, but then were told, no, not without a visa. cars with drivers willing to bend the rules that can get them through priced at 500 euros plus per person. the scant operations leave them vulnerable to criminal gangs. and all await the fate of those found in the refrigerator truck. this person also doesn't want to appear on camera wiping away her tears as she tells us of her four and six-year-old in damascus. she 27 with a law degree is making the journey in hopes of her family can join her without having to go through this. people are saying the syrians smell. the way we're being treated without a place to shower turned us into this, she says. at the camp near the border, she said treatment was inhumane. they throw the water at us and

you have to scramble for it like an animal. she escaped under the barbed wire but went back, unable to keep going alone, even in budapest she says the response whenever she wants to buy something is this. >> no, no, no, go. >> germany however says it will take hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers so no one can comprehend why hungary won't let them go. >> let's go straight to budapest, arwa is standing there live. you've been following their journey. please set the scene for us. >> you know, all those people that we just met and showed you in that report, they are all still here and they have absolutely had it. everyone we're talking to, you hear the desperation in their voice. you have the mothers that are having complete meltdowns because their babies are crying.

they don't have milk so feed them. all of these making the journey, they calculate how much money it's going to cost them. a lot of them borrowed money from friends and family to begin charting out the so-called future they thought europe would be able to provide them but that money is running out because they have been stopped at so many stages along the way and here in budapest it's taking them so much longer to keep going and right now there's all sorts of debates happening around us as to what kind of pressure can be put on hungarian authorities to try to have them, allow them to easily transit to germany. there have been small-scale demonstrations of people holding up billboards, begging germany to put pressure on hungary to let them through. george, people can't take it anymore. they can't take being treated as they say like animals, like dogs. they condition take having -- they can't take having to live

like this in the filth without taking a proper shower. life would be a bit more dignified without being able to languish like this. >> as we see hungarian authorities stepping up border patrols and trying to prevent the influx of people, many are turning to smugglers knowing the dangers. you heard the story we laid out at the top of show. these dangers are real but yet people continue to turn to them. >> and more and more people, george, are going to be turning to them. they are going to be turning to these criminal gangs, to smugglers who most certainly do not have the refugees or their children's best interests at heart but that is what people do when they are that desperate. as others have said, they don't put their babies into a boat and have them transit across the agean or the mediterranean

because they have a choice. they do it because they say that they believe if they stayed in their homelands, they would end up dead so they might as well rick their lives and their children's live to try to end up in europe where they continue chasing this dream, this illusion that they will have a dignified life, where their human rights will be respected. but more and more will be resorting to people who will continue to exploit the most vulnerable and the tragedy of it is without a solution to this, george, there will be more cases of people ending up dead along this route in the heart of europe. >> it's a complicated situation for european authorities to figure out, but arwa, as you stated earlier and worth restating it could be any one of us right there behind you. live for us in budapest, thank you for your reporting. we'll stay in touch with you for sure. we move now to japan, thousands of students are protesting president abe's

unpopular security bill [ chanting ] >> without a -- >> about a dozen activists organized the rally in tokyo, hoping to attract a thousand people. they hope the protest will be 300,000 strong. the weekly rallies about the defense bill pushed through parliament. critics believe it could lead japan into u.s.-led conflicts. >> prime minister of malaysian is embroiled in a multimillion dollar financial scandal. protesters demanding he step down and an investigation reveals that he allegedly took $700 million from an indebted state fund. the prime minister says he did not take money for personal gain. there is global outrage

after the ruling handed down by egyptian judge for three television journalists, they were in court on saturday when the judge ruled that they have to serve three years in prison. fellow al jazeera journal peter greste was deported to australia in february. they were accused of airing harmful video. the group was outlaud after a military coup. the defendants say they are innocent and did nothing wrong and just doing their jobs. greste says he was denied his right to defend himself. >> he will continue to fight this using every available means open to us. this for me is a matter of natural justice. as you all know, i was removed from the country on the order of the egyptian president.

i was not in egypt not because i was on the run, but because i was taken out of the country under egyptian law, in accordance with egyptian law and yet i was placed on trial. in doing, so i was denied one -- the most fundamental principle of law and that is the right offen a -- of an accused person to again themselves. that alone aught to be enough to have my conviction tossed out. this isn't just about the injustice against myself and my two threegs -- colleagues. this is what this means for due process in egypt, it's about what it means for the rule of law in egypt. it is also about what it means for freedom of the press and democracy in europe. >> reaction from the u.s., the state department says it's disappointed and concerned by that verdict. now, turning to the united states, a man who has been charged with capital murder in the brazen killing of a texas sheriff deputy, authorities arrested this man, shannon miles

on saturday morning for this shooting that happened near houston, texas. he has a lengthy criminal history, including disorderly conduct with a firearm, and resisting arrest. hundreds of people gathered on saturday to remember the slain deputy, darryn goforth. he was shot multiple times friday night while gassing his patrol car. nick valencia has this story. >> the witness called 911, ems arrived on scene. unfortunately, the deputy passed. >> reporter: he's identified address 47 yrd darryn goforth. >> i have been in law enfor enforcement 45 years. i don't recall another incident this cold blooded and cowardly. >> authorities say he was

refueling his patrol car friday evening when this man came up behind him and opened fire. >> the deputy then fell to the ground. the suspect then continued over to him and shot the deputy again multiple times as he lay on the ground. >> the suspect then fled the scene in a red or maroon-colored ford ranger pick up truck also caught on surveillance camera. >> it's a very bizarre incident. people understand, you know, it's tough enough being a deputy and being a law enforcement in this country right now, but for people the way they are right now, i have no words for what this type of person did. >> reporter: there's no apparent motive in the case. the deputy had investigated an accident half an hour before the attack. police are looking into whether there's any connection. >> i think it's important to ask for the prayers of our community, for this deputy, his family, and our department family.

>> nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. a scary scene at a baseball game here in atlanta on saturday night. a man has died after falling from the upper deck of the stadium hitting the concrete below, all in the front rows of horrified fans. it happened during the 7th inning as the braves were facing the new york yankees. fans were escorted away from the scene as paramedics performed cpr. police are trying to figure out why the man fell but do not suspect foul play. still to come here on cnn "newsroom." >> we looked around as far as the eye could see, you could see people on rooftops. you could hear people screaming, dogs howling. you could hear the people banging. they were all up in the attic areas because the flood waters came all the way up to the gutters. >> mad dog as we know him, a cnn photo journalist recalls one of his most prominent stories as in

new orleans, hurricane katrina. what you are about to see is not going to be pretty. this isn't a pretty one either, but it is part of history of what happened here. out of the 32-year history here at cnn, there are two very prominent stories, i think that will always stick with me, sarajevo and hurricane katrina. >> when it hit, we were reporting live. we tried to go outside. it was so dangerous. the winds were so strong because they were going through the narrow streets. they had a lot of windows that were blowing out. plates of glass were hitting the street. and after the storm came through, that's when we reemerge and we went down to the super dome.

we came across a city councilman, he ran up and said my people are dying by the hundreds. come with me. we looked around as far as the eye could see. you could see people on rooftops, people screaming, dogs howling. you could hear the people banging. they were all up in the attic areas because the fld waters came all the way up to the gutters and up almost to the rooftops in a lot of these homes. there was live power lines still in the water. you had natural gas lines that were bulk through -- bubbling through the water and released. you could smell the natural gas and if any of the power lines hit the natural gas lines, there would be explosions and blow up and the waters just kept rising and rising, like inch by inch, and as it turned out, it was levies were breaking at that

time. ♪ we were trying to figure out is there search and rescue, anybody we could call? there was nobody there. we saw one helicopter. we saw three guys putting together their own private boat to go out. my intention was to document these three good samaritans and whatever coast guard operations there were in those first hours that were to save these people, but then they asked me, he said look, we can't get these people in the boat. we need another hand. we need an able body to help pull people in the boat. can you put your camera down? we were out for about 12 hours, we brought in a couple boat loads of people and i pulled 16 people up out of the water. >> in the tree. >> i'm in the water. >> you are in the water? okay. let me see where i can see you. >> we rescued a double amputee. he was a war veteran, and we had

to get him up into the boat. he was just hanging on to a tree, you know, with his head above the water, and all he cared about was we had to leave his dog behind. luckily the good story is they did get the dog and they were reunited. the camera battery light became a big thing. there was a gentleman there that had a stroke and the water went all the way up to the attic. he had his head just above the water. just barely above the water, and the rafters in the attic and what they did, they tied a piece of bed sheet to keep his body afloat so he wouldn't drown and they literally had to cut away the bed sheet and then lift him by his arms up through the hole in the attic and up on the roof top. >> one, two, three. come on, i'm holding you.

>> once it got completely dark, the rescue operations ceased until the morning, and in those hours there were those who didn't make it. >> who was at your house with you? >> my wife. >> where is she now? >> i can't find her body. she gone. >> i actually did, you know, a little counselling afterwards because you would just get -- not depression, but maybe a little ptsd why didn't we stop at that house, why did we get that house, those people are here, those people aren't. we did what we could with the resources we had and it's that psychological thing it's like -- you wish you could have done more, but you got to look at the positive side and you can't think of the negative side of how many people you didn't get to. ♪ ♪ proud to have worked with that man, to know him and there were so many others who did everything that they could in that situation, but the problem was so overwhelming, just to

look back at those images, it's something that many of us will never forget. there has been progress in the city of new orleans since that storm from improvements to the number of businesses and the school system, but historian douglas brinkley explains there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. >> you have a city that's basically broke, have the school systems gotten better since katrina? maybe, a little bit, by crime rate is still sky-high. murders are happening all the time. people were murdered last night here in new orleans so it's become a tale of two cities. there's the above sea-level part of new orleans, the french quart erk garden district, uptown that's thriving with boutiques and stores and then great restaurants scpen there's the ninth and new orleans east that look like they are abandoned places in a war.

moving across haiti, but nothing more than a blurb on our satellite moment. this, however, could move just offshore and pick up some of the energy from the gulf of mexico allowing for a little bit of a development, but nonetheless the big story going forward will be the heavy rainfall. in fact, we currently have flood watches from daytona beach through orlando, tampa as well as miami and ft. myers. however, one other part of the world that is extremely active in term of tropical activity, we have three major hurricanes lining up one after another across the central and eastern pacific. i'm going to focus on one, the more immediate threat. that would be hurricane ignacio. check this out. there it is, the hawaiian islands, that area will remain threatened by the storm. in fact, we have tropical storm force winds facing the eastern

shores of the big island, watches in that shading of yellow for the central islands, but the national hurricane center forecast path brings this just north of the island, that doesn't mean we still won't feel the outer bans of this particular storm system. i love it. below average temperatures for a change over the western half of the u.s. while the eastern 2/3 enjoy above average temperatures heading into labor day weekend. storm system bringing in rain and also wind across the pacific northwest. rainfall totals today anywhere between two and four inches but check out destruction island. they recorded 87 mile per hour wind gusts. that's stronger than a category one hurricane, believe it or not. this is what it left behind. you can see the video of downed trees and power lines. two fatalities due to the downed trees. about 500,000 residents in the

they plan to enhance and they say intensify those patrols. they also want transportation agency to improve upon the systematic tickets, in other words, names on tickets. it may sound like standard procedure but it is not. what they want to do is make it system wide, if you have a ticket, your name will be on that ticket. again, identification. and lastly, they were talking about railway agents ks being able to go in civilian clothe th. in other words, that they could not necessarily be identified as law enforcement, but could go up to a passenger and quickly say, i need to see some identification or what is in your baggage. these are the security issues they are talking about. what's significant is it comes as a result of the near tragic situation from a week ago. it's changed the minds of passengers, and clearly changing the minds of government officials. martin savidge, cnn, paris. police have arrested a man suspected in the deadly bombing
