disastrous flooding wreaking havoc across the carolinas as the number of rescues grow and the rising waters threaten entire towns. all that coming up. let's begin with the scramble to salvage the supreme court nomination of brett kavanaugh. an allegation of sexual assault from more than 30 years ago threatens to derail his nomination. christine blasey ford has gone forward. she alleges he sexually assaulted her in high school. he said that never happened and he said this and i'm quoting. this is a completely false allegation. i have never done anything like what the accuser describes to her or to anyone. because this never happened, i had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified her yesterday. i am willing to talk to the senate judiciary committee in any way they deem appropriate in to dispute this false allegation

and defend my integrity. let's bring in jessica schneider. kavanaugh's accuse said she is willing to testify before the committee. where do things stand now? >> up this to point we have not heard directly from her. she shared her story with the "washington post" and the letter she wrote to her congresswoman in july. her attorney said she is not only willing to testify publicly, but willing to share the results of a polygraph test to prove she is not lying. what she is alleging here is serious. her attorneys say it amounted to attempted rain. christine blasey ford said brett kavanaugh assaulted her in high school at a party in the early 1980s and claims he pushed her into a bedroom and locked the door and played loud music to overpower her calls for help. she said kavanaugh tried to take her cloaks off and covered her mouth with his hand at which

point she was in fear for her life. concerned that he could inadvertently kill her. brett kavanaugh has denied all of these allegations and blasey ford said she never told anyone about the incident until many years later when she told her therapist. her lawyer pushed back that she was being anything less than truthful. >> she is telling the truth. she took a polygraph and mentioned this in her therapy sessions in 2012. she came forward before this nominee was nominated. this was someone who told the truth at great personal cost and we know what she is going to have to withstand. >> would you be willing to release the results of the polygraph. >> i will to the appropriate authorities who wish to see it, yes. >> we were told authorities have not opened a criminal investigation as a result of this accusation. instead the fbi placed this

woman's letter with the accusation in judge kavanaugh's background file, but all 10 democrats on the judiciary committee on the nomination and they say they want an fbi investigation before the panel even moves forward. we are waiting to hear more from the fbi, but typically they don't comment on investigations even if there was one here. >> thanks for the update. the white house meanwhile is defending brett kavanaugh and officials tell cnn president trump is upset and annoyed. our senior correspondent is here and jeff, we know judge kavanaugh made a trip to the white house earlier in the day. >> we do. he was meeting with his confirmation team. a group of aides and he has been working on it throughout this confirmation process. he did not have a scheduled meeting with the president himself. we will of course update you if that changes. the silence from the president

certainly is interesting. he is standing by him in every way, but taking a careful silence and not going after the accuser as we do in other instances. there is a tone being set from the top here from his top adviser kellyanne conway who said the accuser deserves to be heard without insults. clearly sending a message to others in the president's orbit. >> she should not be insulted or ignored. she should testify under oath on capitol hill. the senate judiciary committee needs to decide. and judge kavanaugh should also testify as to the 36 near old allegations. >> they are taking it seriously in every way, but saying she should not be insulted. the president has been silent about this. we will see this this afternoon. he has a public event in about an hour or so. they are concerned about this

nomination, but they still believe that senate republicans have enough support for him to confirm this, but it looks like the central question, will a vote happen on thursday? that's looking less and less likely, but we will have every eye on the president. >> any chance of a press briefing? >> that's not on the schedule. they are not happening as frequently as they used to happen in this administration and previous administrations. right now there is not a white house briefing on the schedule, but many things to ask sarah sanders. we will let you know if they add one to the schedule. >> lots of questions. thank you. thursday's committee vote on the kavanaugh nomination be delayed and will his accuser testify in public and under oath? let's get insight from our guests. we have our cnn legal analyst, laura coates along with our chief political analyst, gloria

borger. getting complicated. how is it looking? >> very complicated because internally grassley is trying to get a private phone call and he can't even do that. dianne feinstein refuses to participate in this. the committee has to work out what it wants to do. kavanaugh has said he denies it. he will testify in any forum about it. she has her story and she will testify and has taken a polygraph test. i think the question now is of timing as you heard jeff say. i don't believe there is any way this vote happens on thursday at this point. very, very unlikely. what does the president himself have to say about this? everybody has gone out of their way, every republican. you heard kellyanne conway say look, you have to take this woman's charges seriously. do not be dismissive of this. this would be the worst thing in the world any republican could do and you have brett kavanaugh saying this never occurred.

grassley has to figure out how to get his committee on the same page and try to figure out how to deal with this, whether in a public forum or a private forum. we just -- this is a rapidly developing story and clearly the white house is going to be involved in this. we are not sure what the president would want, but we have not heard him or seen him tweet about this. >> not yet. let's see if he changes his mind. the attorney for kavanaugh's accuser, the accuser, christine blasey ford's attorney was on tv earlier and explained why she has now decided to go so public and is willing to testify. listen to this. >> she wants the senate to do what it is constitutionally obligated to do. she has taken this great risk of coming forward. she is a credible person. these are very serious allegations and should be treated seriously and she should be treated respectfully during

this process. unfortunately at this point she is already getting a lot of possible threats and recrimination and that is, of course, quite disturbing and unfortunate. >> so in terms of the confirmation process, her decision to go public, her decision to testify before the committee, to testify under oath before the committee changes a lot right now. >> a lot has changed in a few days. we were talking about this and she was still anonymous and her name is public and now apparently she is willing to testify. regardless of what statements might be made against her or whatever information she is receiving privately, members of congress are taking this seriously. susan collins tweeted there should be more testimony both from dr. ford as well as from brett kavanaugh. that seems consistent with what kellyanne conway is saying that there will be testimony. it does seem like it's being

taken seriously. they are having to evaluate very, very dated claim that is the nominee who otherwise had an exemplary record is veamentially denying. he made a strong statement and time will tell whether that strong statement of denial is able to comport with whatever testimony he has to give if he has to reappear. >> the chairman, chuck grassley issued a lengthy statement saying the process right now calls for phone conversations between committee members or staff and these two individuals. then they decide what to do next. if they are both called in open session to testify before the judiciary committee separately and are sworn in under oath and if one lies, that's perjury. >> it is and welcome back to 1991 between anita hill and that of now justice thomas.

we had this play out. the word process is so important here. the due process is the issue even in the court of public opinion and the judiciary committee right now. it benefits both brett kavanaugh and his accuser, christine ford. both will have an opportunity to say what happened, their versions of the events and rebut or bolster the credibility of one's story. unlike the anita hill hearings that happened in 1991, you have a decade between those allegations and the confirmation process of then nominee clarence thomas. you have 36 years now between the allegations occurring and the confirmation here. that timing is going to play very, very important. i used to do a lot of delayed reporting sexual assault cases. the hurtles of a year or more, a year to five years is enormous, let alone 36. memory and credibility and her

intent and motivation is important now. that timing will be important in due process. i will be interested to see who decides due process is important who didn't think so with senator franken leaving or others. >> we have to understand this plays into a larger environment. we are in the me too environment and politicians know that an election is coming up. democrats are running a lot of women. there are questions on both sides about how this plays out. you have to be respectful of this woman, but they want kavanaugh to be confirmed and he has a story that said this never happened and it was 36 years ago. one other person who was apparently a witness who does not recall it. it's very difficult to see how this gets resolved except that i think nobody wants to repeat what you were talking about. nobody wants a repeat of anita hill hearings. that didn't do anybody any good.

they are trying to figure out a way to deal with this respectfully to both of these people. it's not an easy solution to come up with. >> and in the anita hill hearings, justice thomas was confirmed, but there has always been an asterisk where the anita hill hearings were brought up. there are significant differences. they were in a professional context and adults and sexual harassment. that's what the me too movement has been about. this is a different type of allegation. this is a serious allegation, but it's about behavior as teenagers and it's old, over 35 years ago that the allegation is being made about. it's different then. the professional context when we are talking about adults and a work environment. >> the fact that they were both teenagers and he was supposedly 17 and she was 15. he was according to her, drunk.

does that make a difference at all? >> the tendency is to say boys will be boys and have a dismissive air, but in many states 17 years old is when you can try someone as an adult and have it be serious. no the not to say this is that case, but to be dismissive of it. if it's a sexual assault that occurred whether the person is drunk or inebriated or useful does not belittle or undermine it to say this never happened. it will come into context. the timing is different. unlike anita hill and clarence thomas, he was the head of the eeoc at the time and the head of the civil rights organization for the federal government. a professional capacity. he should obviously know better as a civil rights attorney not to do that sort of thing. that is different than a 17, 15, 36 years old where it came out in a matteral therapy session.

still it is going to be important going forward for republicans not to be dismissive and for democrats not to throw everything in. if they are going to say this is an issue that needs to be address and they have the system. i'm curious to figure out what's going to happen. the pattern in the me too cases is multiple accusers came forward. the repeat here would be, remember joe biden sat on three other witnesses who could have bolstered anita hill's testimony and did not. perhaps feinstein does not want to make that mistake. >> more come think up on this important story. i will speak live with one of the u.s. senators who will decide kavanaugh's fate. if this levee fails, all bets are off. one official in north carolina where waters are rising throughout region after hurricane florence. we'll take you there live.

what is typically a peninsula is an island and high floodwaters have made roads impassiblmpassi. we are just hearing of the first high water vehicles being able to cross the flooded out roads as we learned about 20 trucks from fort bragg made their way in to deliver enough food and water for 60,000 people for four

days. those being ready to eat meals. for those inside, the city of wilmingt wilmington, the need for fuel is greatest and that need is it more serious for some than others. >> i have a mama at a hospital and she needs dialysis and they can't transport her from the hospital to right here. we don't have no gas. we have been sitting here trying to get gas and she hasn't had dialysis since wednesday and today is monday. it's sad. >> this gas station is one of the few open in wilmington. there is another line that enters the gas station. some people waiting as long as six hours at the pump. when they showed up, there was gas here and no way to pump it. the operational capability was knocked out by the storm and it took a technician time to fix it, but gas is pumping and tensions rose higher here when the gas started flowing in this

lot. >> it's an awful situation. thank you very much. let's go to paulo sandoval. there are deep concerns about the lef see breevee is breachin. >> reporter: the levee which is the source of all this water has held up and positive news here for residents of lumberton and the river has gone three feet down after krefi icresting over. i will step out and you can watch what is one of the many rescues happening throughout the city. this is a part of north carolina that is very, very familiar with the flooding and damaging potential of these tropical systems. it was two years ago when hurricane matthew caused a very, very similar scene. to members of the cajun navy,

they said they went into a neighborhood just beyond the tree line to rescue people who wanted to leave their homes. that is what we are looking at right now. these volunteers who went in to retrieve one of the families who have called for help. keep in mind that the folks have been in the situation before. they have had to call on authorities for rescue before. two things that needed help. the main levee that authorities say worked to perform as it was designed to do. if you recall on friday when you and i were speaking, it came together to create a makeshift levee. that was compromised. we were on an overpass looking down on the barrier when it began to seep water through the rocks and pebbles and sandbags placed there. although that did eventually become compromise and officials said it still gave people

valuable time to escape. for some as we are able to see here, they were not able to do that. they felt they could still ride out the storm. this scene repeats itself over and over again. i saw it two times yesterday. members of the community helping members of the community and their pets yesterday. there was a family of four with their four dogs brought back on to dry soil. here we have again the gentleman that you see in the green, i was speaking to him. he went to harvey and he was along the coast and he was telling me about what we see in the storm systems. that's the best of humanity that comes out after the worst of mother nature. we will send things back to you. >> he's a volunteer. these volunteers and first responders are truly amazing people. we are grateful to them. thank you very much. up next, the fate of the u.s.

all eyes on capitol hill right now. the u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh's confirmation seemed like a lock, but now that an accuser has come forward with very disturbing details of sexual and physical assault, the vote on kavanaugh is up in the air. let's check in with cnn's political analyst, congressional reporter for politico. rachel, the vote in the judiciary committee is still set for thursday. what are you hearing? >> that's right and as you know, senate judiciary republicans have a razor thin lead. it will only take one republican to vote with the democrats to result in an unfavorable approval for kavanaugh which is something gop leaders want to avoid. jeff make who is retiring this

year and shown he has not been afraid to go up against the pot when he feels it's his moral obligation to do so. he told cnn and politico and a bunch of reporters he is not comfortable voting yes. he wants to hear from ms. ford. there is a way he could go around the committee and bring this to the floor. i'm not sure he would want to. there are groups of republicans as we classified that could be problems for the party. there are retiring members like bob corker and jeff make who are not afraid to go against their leadership. dan heller who is in a tough reelection and face pressure back home to potentially vote against this nominee. we have the moderate republicans, lisa murkowski of alaska and lisa collins of maine have shown they are willing to go up deans party leadership and have not said what these allegations are going to do for

their vote, but both asked al franken to step aside when he was accused of making inappropriate comments. there were multiple allegations for franken and only one for kavanaugh, but keep your eyes on these ladies. >> they were up for reelection in red states. >> mcconnell had been waging this pressure campaign for senate democrats up for reelection this fall in states that trump carried, knowing they will need republican voters. perhaps they can pressure them to backing kavanaugh and all three of these up here voted for neal gorsuch in the past. they thought perhaps they could pressure them to vote for kavanaugh, but i would say that pressure baited for now. all three expressed concerns and they want to see an investigation of these allegations.

they can't get on these votes. >> excellent explanation. brett kavanaugh is vowing to defend his integrity and getting help with the judicial network plans with a $1.5 million ad campaign to support kavanaugh and they called the accusations a last minute smear campaign. joining us is democratic senator ben cardin of maryland. republican lawmakers are questioning the timing of these allegations against judge kavanaugh. what's your response? >> wolf, it's the republican leadership they are trying to jam this nomination through. this process has been flawed from the beginning, the president limiting his choice to outside groups, failing to provide the documentation that would normally be provided. this is a lifetime appointment. this is a critically personality responsibility for the u.s.

senate. we have a responsibility to hear judge kavanaugh under oath. professor ford under oath on these allegations. had we had that information before the committee takes action and the debate for kavanaugh. >> it was a mistake for your colleagues for the democrats not to question kavanaugh about these allegations during the confirmation hearing four days of open question and answers during the closed door meetings that senators had with him, during the written q&a allowed. was it a mistake not to raise this issue with him during those weeks? >> we have been working, democrats have been working at real disadvantage. not getting to this day much of the material concerning judge kavanaugh. we get a lot of outside information to go through as

quickly as we can. judgments have to be made including sources and verifying sources. no, i don't believe the fault lies with the democrats. it lies with the republican leadership in trying to move this nomination unprecedented about the disclosure of information and opportunities to know about the backgrounds and vetting this before the committee is scheduled to vote. >> the ranking democrat on the judiciary committee, dianne feinstein of california has known about this allegation since july. the accuser asked her to keep it confidenti confidential. did dianne feinstein do the right thing in not raising this issue? >> i am certain that senator feinstein took all the information made available to her and her position in the judiciary committee, vetting it as quickly as she could, recognizing that she had an unrealistic time schedule given by the republicans to prepare for a hearing that should never have been scheduled that

quickly. look, senator mcconnell said 11 months was not long enough for president obama to consider merrick garland and you have the same leader saying he can do this in two months. it's ridiculous. we have not had the opportunity to vet this nomination and now this fact is coming forward. let's get a hearing on it and have judge kavanaugh and professor ford under oath before the judiciary committee. >> officials say president trump is upset and annoyed by the latest developments. kellyanne conway said judge kavanaugh's accuser should not be insulted or ignored. what do you make of the statements from kellyanne conway? >> you know, the president has his way of conducting business. to me this is a very serious accusation. it needs to be aired properly. you have already mentioned how other people's careers have been directly affected by this

conduct. we need to get to the merits of what has been said here. as to whether judge kavanaugh was involved in this and listen to the accuser and give the accuser the respect of these allegations. these are tough matters and they need to be aired properly. >> let me shift gears for a moment while i have you, senator. paul manafort is the latest trump associate to enter a guilty plea. he agreed to cooperate fully with the special counsel, robert mueller. how significant is that and what does it say about the state of the mueller investigation? >> clearly the mueller investigation has unveiled several violations of our criminal statute. this is the latest where you have a guilty plea. this is clearly uncovering a great deal of problems involving the trump campaign and related to the trump campaign. i'm going to wait to see their

full report before i try to connect dots, but clearly there is extremely disturbing revelations in the investigation. it's extremely disappointing that president trump tries to discredit the department of justice and this investigation. the president of the united states should never do that. it really compromises, i think, our view that the president respects the independence of the judiciary and the independence of an investigation of this type. the american people need to know the facts. we need to act accordingly. >> let me put that graphic up on the screen. the five individuals who have now all decided to plead guilty. you see them there. they used to work for president trump. now they are for all practical purposes working for the special counsel, robert mueller and fully cooperating to get a reduced sentence. senator cardin, thanks so much for joining us. >> wolf, it's good to be with

you. these are serious issues and we need to wait for the mueller investigation to be completed. >> we will see what happens. thank you very much. this is just coming in to cnn from syria right now. we are now learning that russia and turkey have just agreed to what is being described as a demilitarized zone in syria, the last remaining rebel stronghold. we will have details for you. stand by for that. a border patrol agent confesses to being a serial killer as one woman made a very dramatic escape. that story is coming up.

. this just in. new developments in the war in syria. russia and turkey, a nato ally, both say they agreed to establish a demilitarized zone in idlib, the last rebel stronghold. let's go to matthew chance. he is joining us from moscow. update our viewers. what can you tell us? >> reporter: these are potentially very personality developments that have taken place with a meeting between vladimir putin and erdogan. they have been meeting over the past several hours, discussing the issues of idlib, the last remaining rebel-controlled province in syria. there have been russian air strikes in the surrounding territory over the past couple

of weeks toblg a potential assault by syrian government forces on idlib. it's a territory with millions of people inside. the possibility of an all out attack on idlib raised concerns of ka tacatastrophe and a slaug among the millions of people trapped in the province whether it's a military attack by the syrian government on it. for the moment, that seems according to these latest developments to have been averted. out of a meeting in sochi, presidents erdogan and putin will form an ex-solution zone around idlib and issuing a deadline to the militants inside to extract heavy weapons from inside that zone with a view towards pacifying it. take a listen to what vladimir

putin, the russian president, had to say about the issue. >> translator: during our meeting we examined in detail the situation and decided to create along the line of contact by the 15th of october, a demilitarized zone of 15 to 20 kilometers long and make sure the militants will be removed. by the 15th of october, on the proposal of the turkish president, all heavy equipment, tanks and missiles and mortars of all opposition groups will be removed and the demilitarized zone will be patrolled by units and russian military police. >> now, the russians along with the syrian allies have been champing at the bit to launch their full out attacks on idlib and spoken in negative terms calling it a hot bed of terrorism and saying it's an urgent need to attack it. the turks on the other side of that equation have been

resisting it very heavily. they are already catering for 3.5 million refugees in turkey and feared with a military assault, that number would increase a lot and so they have been putting pressure on the russian allies and they are not allies over the syrian war to step back from the brink of a military attack for the moment. that seems to have worked and this seems to have achieved a delay in any military assault. the russian defense minster is speaking after the meetings said that a military operation and the province of idlib was no longer on the agenda. whether that's permanent or just delayed, we don't know at this point. >> a half a million people have been killed over the past few years. matthew, we will watch it closely with you. significant or potentially significant developments, but there have been so many false hopes in the past. the woman accusing brett

an aspirin a day, for some, it could prevent heart attacks or a stroke, but new research shows it's not for everyone. for healthy, older adults, it could actually be rather harmful. let's go to our senior medical

correspondent, elizabeth cohen. elizabeth, this is a stunning new study. it reverses so much of what we have been told, that as you get older, take at least a baby aspirin. it will prevent heart attacks, it will prevent dementia, cancer, strokes, all of that now proves to be, according to this new study, wrong. >> you know what, wolf, it appears to be wrong for certain people. it's so interesting, what these researchers did. you know aspirin is a double-edged sword. on the one hand, it helps heart disease, on the other hand, it increases your risk for bleeding. internal bleeding is especially dangerous. they took nearly 2,200 senior citizens, half got a baby aspirin, half didn't. and after they followed them for a few years, they found, not only did the aspirin not help their hearts, it increased their risk for internal bleeding. so the researchers asked the question, why are we doing this? it doesn't seem to make much sense. >> it also sprooeincreased risk apparently, for cancer, at least among some, right?

>> among some, that's right. >> it's a serious problem. so the only people that should be taking baby aspirin among the elderly are those who have already had a heart attack or stroke. it might prevent another one? >> who have had some form of heart disease or coronary artery disease, and that's where you have to talk to your doctor. your doctor might say, you're at a high risk for heart disease for "a," "b," and "c" reasons, and i think it's worth it for you to take an aspirin. for other patients, they may say, look, the risk of internal bleeding, just not worth it. >> elizabeth cohen, a very interesting study, indeed. reverses a lot of the thinking that we've been told. coming up, she's the most famous actress in china, and now she's vanished without a trace. is the government involved? we have new details. and a very strange development in the sports world. an nfl player abruptly retiring at halftime, leaving the team. now some of his teammates are furious and they are speaking out against him. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job
