comfortable in the position now? she wasn't at first. >> i do. i think, you know shall does come alive around children. i think she's finding her footing at this point in the administrati administration. >> no one can deny how beautiful those pictures were with the children. thanks so much for joining us tonight. "ac 360" is next. i want to begin tonight with breaking news on the mystery surrounding the disappearance and alleged murder of a "the washington post" columnist and turkish authorities have audio and visual evidence that show

jamal kaye showingi mav -- the newspapers reports that they were audio recorded, sent to the cloud and to his phone, which was outside with his fiancee. we'll have more on the details later in the program. president trump hasn't said much, he did this even. jim acosta has that. what did the president say? >> reporter: we know the turkish believe that the saudis are responsible for jamal khashoggi's death, but the president was willing to take on that description. he was not willing to say, yes, that the saudis killed one of their own journalists. he also was asked about whether or not this entire mystery calls into question whether or not the president, the u.s. is doing enough to hold saudi arabia responsible for its human rights

record, which obviously has had a lot of issues over the years. here's what the president had to say about that. >> i think a lot of records are overlooked. if you look at iran, take a look at syria. this is a very serious thing, and we are looking at it in a very serious manner. >> reporter: now, the president did say that he plans to speak to king salman in the coming days, but anderson, it's not at all clear that the president is putting a lot of pressure on the saudi kingdom, as you heard him say yesterday, he's reluctant to go after the arms sale under way between the u.s. and the saudi arabia to provide a carrot-and-stick approach to prompt the saudis to do better, but all we know at this point senior administration officials have been speaking with the crown prince he, but it's not at

all clear whether the trump administration knows exactly what happened. >> has the president spoken to either the crown prince or the king in saudi arabia? >> that's expected to be the next step. he said that to reporters as he landed in ohio earlier this evening, but anderson, we just don't know what assets have been he committed. he was saying earlier this week that u.s. investigators would get to the bottom of this, but it's not clear what commitments the u.s. is putting towards all of this. the president said said yesterday in the oval office he was not even sure he how much the administration should do, because khashoggi is not even a u.s. citizen. at this point this evening they seem to have no real answers what's going on. >> thank you, jim. we'll have more later on in

the program, but we have the stories of people who survived hurricane michael. and the death toll as i told you, now stands at 17. it rose all day, and geffen the places of devastation, it almost will certainly continue to rise. according to the mexico beach city manager, 286 people stayed through the storm, yet as you can see a lot of the town was heavily damaged or simply leveled. crews have been making their was through tony, searching for people, finding survivor and searching for anyone who did not survive. here's what we know about some of the 17 and counting. steven sweet of gretna, florida, was killed when a tree fell on his home. he was 44 years old. he managed a local car coolership. hi wife was with him when it happened. >> he was one of a kind, would always help anybody, always giving money to the people at

the stop signs and stuff. would help anybody. >> steven the sweet. firefighter clark was killed when a tractor trailer hit his truck in hanover county, virginia. a colleague says he loved the military, his family and the fire service dearly. he was 43 years old. sarah radany was after her grandparents house when a metal carport crashed into it. she recently started sixth grade. her father says she loved playing the trumpet, she loved life, he says. she wanted to make everyone smile. she was 11 years old and liked to play like she was 5, he said. no doubt we'll learn more about others who did not make it. as we mentioned recovery crews are searching for the living and the dead. communications are constituent spotty. we want to take you to mexico

beach, our martin savage is there tonight. you've been talking to people will looking for loved ones, people hoping to get their messages out. talk about what you have seen and 'heard. >> reporter: it's absolute agony on both ends. family members rode out the storm, they survived, but there's no way to communicate and tell their loved ones are alive and well. you were talking to maybe your brother, your mother just before the storm, and then suddenly absolute silence. then what do you see? you see the images of mexico beach here, and it is utter devastation. infrastructure has been totally eliminated. what we wanted to do was go into the community, not along the beachfront, because these are secondary homes for people with means. you go deeper, into the more modest communities, the trailer parks. there you'll find people who are still trapped alive, but unable to get word out, so we try to be

that conduit, and i think we have some of the their statements here. >> i would just say that we're all well, and we thank god that we're doing well. >> we made it. >> you know, we can be thankful for that. >> alive, safe and well that would be to my oldest, because i think she's the most worried. >> i may have lost everything, but not my life. >> we're okay. we're dirty and filthy, but we are okay. we do have food and water, so we're getting there. >> reporter: let me just read you some of the names. this is important for family members and loved ones to share if they saw watching on your shore. deanna williams is alive and well. she's got family in georgia. she wanted to reach her son philips. faye alsoton she has a family in vero beach, she said they were

going to get away, but they didn't. we have jerry jaswain, she has family in texas. and christine bringmeyer and debby carew. another one i have to mention, billy craften. he's in his 80s, he's not been able to reach his sister, he is desperate that she know he is alive and well. and there are other who are with him looking after him. they are really in desperate situations. this is much like what you saw in the of aftermath of katrina, in the blackout where people couldn't reach out. but at least through their faces and voices, some families know that they are alive and well. unfortunately in mexico beach today, the first victim was discovered. the name has not been released. it was a male, a person who discovered what they say in the debris field several hundred yards away from his home.

unfortunately authorities believe it won't be the last such discovery. anderson? >> i want to point out all those people whose faces who were talking, they had nobody been able to reach their name. so hopefully family will contact their families to let them know they're okay, they're alive. just in terms of the residents who are there, obviously, i'm sure their homes are destroyed or badly damaged. are they tried to get out? are they able to get out? do they want to stay there now and just protect what they have? i can't imagine there's a lot of, you know, water, food available yet at this stage. >> reporter: no, there isn't. it's a bit of everything that you just described. there are some people staying, because they have to look at what little they have left. there are others staying because they can't get out. the vehicles were swept away as well as their home, and on top of that others are trapped by their economic means.

some food and water has been brought in. that is for those people who rode out the storm. it's not being distributed en masse for anyone who may have returned after the storm. they are trying to get people to shelter. not here. there are none, but the roads are is it ildifficult to pass. it's hard for help to come in and those who want to left to come out. the city is trying to organize a means for those who want to get away. >> thank you for your reporting tonight. welcome news about two people who rode out the storm. danny wiggins and his girlfriend tracy wiggler. we spoke to dan counter's sister last night. she was obviously very concerned. shortly after she appeared on the broadcast she got word on facebook that both made it through. we're very happy to say danny made his way to a rare spot with cell phone reception, and able to dial hi sister.

st. george island faces the gulf, and there's one bridge. so people who stayed, spending hour after hour not only filly cut off, but surrounded by water, you may have seen this already. security camera video of a flooded neighborhood on the island. last night we spoke to a close friend. very few have made it to the island since the storm. gary tuchman is one of them. here's his report. >> with so many florida panhandle roads imbalanceable, we charter a boat to get as to st. george island, a barrier island, where a few dozen people did not evacuate during he hurricane michael. the devastation making it clear the people were in peril. tie era walker was one of the people who stayed behind. >> reporter: did you think you were going to die? >> there were a few points in time that i thought it could

happen. >> reporter: she stayed in the apartment at the top of harry a's, a heavy will damaged restaurant and bar. >> there was a point in time where i felt the roof was going to fly away, so i flipped a couch over and trying to prepared for worths. >> reporter: this incredible video comes from a security system. torrents of water from the gulf creating terrence in the front yard of a evacuated home. the camera remains. this is the exact vantage point. the water is gone, but the dame is oh so often. christa miller's family has lived on this island for over a century. >> before the storm took that jog to the west we were pretty wore this place would no longer be here. if that storm had not taken that

little turn, this place would be leveled completely. >> reporter: but moth homes have been damaged, many very extensively, like the home of christopher crozier, who has lived here 38 years. >> one of the risks you take is to be devastated by a hint. >> i know that. >> reporter: does this make you give up living on the island? >> hell no. it's too beautiful. i discovered this place in the '70s, and worked every bit of my life just to be here in this county. i got a job as a schoolteacher. >> reporter: you're saying? >> i'm not going anywhere. gary joins us now. there's been concern about the people who didn't evacuate. is everybody accounted for? >> reporter: what's slightly prop mattic -- problematic, but there have been no calls or anyone saying they know of

someone who is missing. so hopefully it sticks. >> gary tuchman, thank you. last night on the broadcast we spoke it senator marco rubio. tonight his senior college bill nelson joins us. i know you just got back from mexico beach. what's your assessment? how are things? >> it is the worst destruction that the panhandle has seen for however long i've been living. it's akin, anderson, to hurricane andrew back in 1992 south of miami, where everything was left. it is clear in mexico beach the buildings that were built to the new code, they have survived, and some partially survived unless they were right on the beach. the ones that were older

dwellings, i mean, they're gone. but people were already starting to come back in today, and they're very resilient. they're going to rebuild, and it will be a greater place for people to come and enjoy the beach. >> are there enough resources there, shelter, water and food for -- i was talking to some officials yesterday who were saying, please don't come back yet, there's just -- it's going to interfere with search and rescue operations, and there's just not enough resources. >> in mexico beach specifically, the answer is no. there's not going to be there. they basically had to evacuate, though i talked to a fellow who rode out the storm on a second floor, and his windows did not break. he said they were bulging six

inches, but they didn't break. >> wow. >> but in panama city, in a city that is in the dark, it is going to be a while. this is what happens after a hurricane, especially one of this magnitude. there's going to be a period of time that it's going to be difficult to get supplies in. now, as we were going back out of the city, i saw all convoys of the trucks coming in with supplies, but it's going to be a while. people's patience is going to be tried. >> i guess what message do you have right now for people who may be watching, perhaps staying with friends, families, they're worried about their homes, not even sure if the homes are still there, or if they're not, they want to get back to their homes. they're not even on sure where to begin, what is your message tonight? >> the best news other than

floridians are tough and resilient, and i saw that every place, neighbors helping neighbors at the hospital, completely now evacuated, but they were keeping the emergency room going. then there was an emergency team that had come in that were setting up a lower threshold operating room out in the parking lot, but the only good news is that the weather ended up after the storm flew through, the weather ended up being beautiful. no rain, clear skies, so as long as fema can get the blue tarps in so t in so that people can patch their roof, and almost every roof has a leak or hole, then

they can secure their home from damage. fema has to get thousands and thousands of blue tarps in. >> senator nelson, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thanks, ander southern. just ahead, a closer look at what emergency crews are going through looking for survivors. a local fire chief and officers are joining us. but up ahead, how the killing of jamal khashoggi was recorded inside the turk irk consul.

new video. i can tell you we've seen so much of that in so much disasters. joining us is joseph zeralbin, a fire chief for the citi of miami, and aseen to mexico beach, also mexico beach police chief kelly. can you just talk about the latest search-and-rescue efforts in mexico beach and elsewhere? >> yes, thank you, anderson. yesterday we began at daybreak and did what we consider to be a primary search. we went through the entire area quickly and attempted to touch as many lives as possible. once we get through the process, we go back and do it all again, something we would call a secondary search. we got about 85% complete yesterday, about 15% remaining. we began that process today.

we were able to complete that and get about 50% of our secondary search accomplished. we'll be out here again in the morning at daybreak continuing the process. >> chief kelly, do you have an accurate number of who are unaccounted for or who chose to stay for the storm? >> yesterday. what we did was 24 hours prior to the storm we went into the communities how to house, door to door, identifying the people who said they were going to stay. we did have 268 residents and children staying. prior to the contact of the storm we went around and again, and from my understanding some of the neighbors and some of the residents did leave, but unfortunately there were some that said they were not going to leave. >> and at this point, i don't know if either of you can say how many may still be

unaccounted for or just it's not clear at this point. as you said, some may have left and not informed authorities, which is obviously one of the difficulties you face. >> you are correct. it's a difficult process, but it's been made easier by the efforts of his police chief and his department. he was able to provide us with a book of residents that we know stayed behind, and that book was accurate up to a few hours before the storm, so it doesn't give you all of the answers you are looking for, but it really does help to push you in the right direction. we are cross-referencing his list with the work we've been doing. >> i talked to an official yesterday who was sort of asking people, please don't come back to mexico beach at this point to check on your house. obviously a lot of people want to come back to see what

happened to their house, to their friends, to find family members. is that still your message tonight? i could imagine resources there if you have a lot of people coming back. >> we do. what i'm asking, for the safety of the efforts that's gore on right now is if you are a resident and you have a florida driver's license with a mexico beach address, when you come to our checkpoints, we will allow you to come in. we understand. but for the safety of the public we're not asking that everybody come back to mexico beach right now. we just want the locals with a local address that when they come here to identify themselves, and we'll make every effort we can to accommodate them once they come here. >> just in terms of resources, you know, i was talking to senator bill nelson a moment ago. he was saying there's obviously a lot of damaged homes, not destroyed, but significantly damaged.

they're going to niece tarps to patch things up temporarily. obviously it takes time to get stuff in and roads have been difficult. are you starting to get things like tarps, water, food, for those who are still there? >> yes, we've had a good outcry from the assistance, from the cdc, the governor's office, but we are making resources available. we have got water here. we've got a kitchen set up for the people who need food. well meals ready to eat. so we have a distribution set up that several of the city employees, the city clerk is getting that information out as long as we can get what supplies we can to the people who need them. >> this question is really for either of you. obviously i'm sure you both have been through storms before. obviously florida has hit hard in the past, in terms of what you've seen, how does this

compare? >> well, every storm is unique in the type of damage it does, but when you walk into a situation like this, it really strikes you from the perspective of how surreal it is. then very quickly, especially a florida task force coming from an area that has been affected numerous times, we really understand and sympathize and empathize with the individuals here, the citizens and what they're going through. it's a very difficult recovery process. our goal is to make it as comforting as possible, and to give them all of the resources that they're struggling without right now, because they were locally impacted. again, we completely understand what it is to be locally impacted. >> chief kelly, and chief

zharlaben -- yes, chief? >> it is a small department, but we do know everybody. so it's impacting the officers. when we walk through the neighborhoods looking through the debris piles, you see photos and parts that are part of somebody's life. so as we are such a small community, it's not that we just work here, this is part of our family as well. so we're individually touched. >> of course. well, both chiefs, thank you for all you are doing and all your officers and firefighters and emergency personnel. we'll continue to be in touch. coming up on the latest about the reports of the disappearance of jamal khashoggi we have an update on where the possible murder, possible torture may have been recorded. an entirely new feeling, e the difference between excellence and mastery, is all the difference in the world.

primp says he's going to call the king of saudi arabia, quote, soon. a source familiar with the investigation says that turkish authorities have audio and visual evidence showing his was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. they retrieved reporting from his own apple watch, in files to his fiancee. president trump was asked late today if the human rites reports has been overlooked for too long.

he basically deflected. >> so many reports are overlooked. >> this is a very serious things. >> meantime, international pressure is growing by the day to explain exactly what happened inside their own consulate. our senior international correspondent arwa damon joins us. what more do we know about the recording that may have been captured on the apple watch. it's extraordinary, if true. >> reporter: it really is, bearing in mind this is all based on the reporting by the pro-government local newspaper, where they are saying it would seen that khashoggi turned the recording capabilities of his apple watch on before he entered

the consequence lal. it would seem that a lot of what transpired inside was in fact recorded. >> it's not entirely clear whether it would be technologically feasible for his apple watch to have transmitted this to either the i cloud or his iphone that was with his fiancee, but if true, it certainly would explain some of the audio recordings that the turks say they have managed to obtain at this stage. we know from a cnn sort family with the investigation, briefed by -- on the contents that the turks have claimed to have, that they contain audio and perhaps some video of an assault, and also on them he evidence of the final moments effect i havely his killing, raising the specter

of the questions around exactly what happened. it would seen there's very little evidence being pud forward to back the claim that he left the consulate on the same day he left. >> you would think there would be footage of him leaves the building. has saudi arabia responded at all to the he yesterday that there may be recordings of his death or torture? they have refuelled all claims. various reports in the media they say are based on lies, and part to undermine the kingdom. they did recently put out a statement they did support the

joint investigation that is taking place, and a delegation from saudi arabia did arrive a few hours ago. the two countries decided to steak a a working group turkey had been granted access, but also to the consul general's home. the saudis asked for it to be postponed, and then we hear about this join working group. a lot of questions surrounding that issue, because primably there are a lot of politics at bay, as we were all well aware. this is a conversation becoming more political charged by the day. >> appreciate it, arwa damon. joining mess is senator ben cardin. thanks for being with us.

what do you have the to see happen? >> every day is becoming more and more obvious that the saudi government was involved, and that this is really a very serious matter. he there's a provide in our -- it's a part of our democracy, global democracies, and what the saudis allegedly did here, he counter convenes -- and let's find out exactly what happened. if the government is responsible, they have to be held accountable. i joined my colleagues in asking the trump administration to consider the use of mcnitskie's -- this is

legislation i work with senator mccai mccain. when a government violates basic human rights, and does not hold itself accountable, they sanctions would prevent those individuals from using our banking system or visiting our country with visas. it's an appropriate sanction, we need to do more, about you we need to take a look at these sanctions. >> one of the things we heard about yesterday is this journalist is not an american citizen. should that matter at all? >> it doesn't matter whatsoever. he obviously was contributing to "the washington post" as a reporter. he had privilege, but it's the u.s. leadership in protecting journalists. we have to make it clear that that relationship will be

changed if the saudi government is respond for these actions. >> do you feel there's momentum to actually enforce some sort of sanctions or some sort of penalty? it's i spoke with the republican chair on foreign ops. i talked to senator corker. i talked to several of my democratic colleagues. we have all agreed that we cannot let this type of activity go unxhalged if in fact it's established that the saudi government was best hind this tragedy. a, is he right about that? and b, should that be taken into

account? >> there's no immediate arms deals between the united states and saudiing that are currently being planned. so there is no specific arms deal at this particular moment. we do participate with the saudis in regarding to their yemen campaign. i suggest we may want to look at modifying our relationship with regard to the military relationship. we also looked at sbeerg into a peaceful agreement on nuclear energy. there's several aspects we need to evaluate. senator ben cardin, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. khashoggi is a former royal insider who became a critic of the regime. we'll have a closer look at the man known as mbs, next. she's so cute. ♪ the most loved iphone meets the most loved in wireless.

as we reported, the president says at some point he'll call king salman of saudi arabia, after the killing of jamal khashoggi. the white house says there's been calls between jared kushner and mike pompeo and saudi arabia. he's best known as mbs, crown

prince muhammad bin salman, only 33 years old, now heir to the throne. he was known for his ambition and for having his eye on the throne, but his cousin was next in line. in june last year his cousin was reportedly summoned to a palace and told to surrender his position. late last year mbs had a widespread crackdown, wounding up and arresting officials, and even saudi royals. some were held against their will at the ritz carlton as they negotiated built onin payments to the government. when asked about it, the prince denied it was a power grab. >> translator: if i have the power and the king has the power to takes action again people you are already fundamentally strong. these are naive accusations.

>> many have celebrated his rise to power. to them he's a vision flare, looking to transform saudi arabia and improve like. women are now allowed to drive and attend sporting events. mbs has also focused on the economy, trying to atracked new businesses in order to make saudi arabia less dependent on oil. in march he held a highly publicized listening tour in the u.s., where he met with president trump and also business leaders like bill gates, richard branson and apple's tim cook. as crown prince, he lives got life. while on vacation in the south of france "the new yorker" records he bought a yacht for $550 million, a shouto outside paris and last year is said to have paid for a leonardo da

vinci portrayed of jesus cries. as far as my personal spending, i'm a rich person. >> while he does appear to power hungry, initiating the involvement in yemen and standoff with qatar, he's become an ally, once serving as a go-between. >> crown prince, thank for you being here. >> an ally it seems, but questions remain about how much muhammad bin salman can be trusted. as we proare recorded, it's reported that a khashoggi may have reported his own death on his appear watch. joining me is bob behr. the reporting is fascinating the only sort is a pro-government

newspaper in turkey. does it make sense technologically? >> no, that's too far for a bluetooth connection. his anticipation of transmitting that, i think that was beyond khashoggi. i think what's happened clearly is the turks have the saudi consulate wired. the turking don't trust any diplomats. thieve in most embassies and most consequence las in turkey. they listen to what's going on. if instead there are tapes, you know, proving that he was murdered, i think that's probably how they know, but the turks are reluctant to admit that. >> again, this is just -- it's reporting by the tush irk newspaper, you think that's a cover essential for a spying operati operation. >> i think almost definitely. remember that turkey and saudi arabia are sworn enemies in the islamic world.

the turks don't trust the saudis. they would have had a lot of surveillance on that consulate. the cummings and goings as well inside and possibly video. the turks are very advanced in this. like i said, they don't want to admit it, they don't want to admit it. >> why do you think the turks are engaging with a joint investigation with a saudi delegation that arrived in istanbul today. do you think it's politics? >> i think it's politics. the turks hate mohammed bin salman for what he's doing in yemen and what he's done with the muslim brotherhood. i think they would like to pry him out of the job and get rid of him. mohammed bin salman is not particularly popular through that the islamic world and he's vying for influence with erdogan, the president of turkey. >> it's fascinating. mohammed bin salman came to the

united states, met with business leaders. he's certainly trying to project a new image for saudi arabia, sell a new story for saudi arabia. if in fact the saudis did what the allegations are that they murdered this man in their own consulate in istanbul, it's kind of putting a lie to this image that saudi arabia's has been trying to project. >> i think. so remember mohammed bin salman detained the lebanese prime minister, hariri, which is just unheard of. and an insult to lebanon. he's burned through so many red lines that everything i'm hearing out of the kingdom, people are scared of him and he's detested by the tribes, he's an autocrat and they don't know where he'll go next. this idea he's a great reformer, it's washington publicity people putting that out. but inside the kingdom there's a

lot of rep decontamination about what he's up to. >> he's cultivated an enormous amount of power in saudi arabia, some of the richest people and members of the royal family were arrested in the ritz-carlton hotel, who knows what went on and billions of dollars were taken from them, whether they were ill-gotten gains initially or not. he controls oil, the military, the national guard, the economy, everythi everything. his father has dementia, he is not in control. he is the dictator of saudi arabia. >> thank you for being with us. a lot more to follow on this story. i want to check in with chris to see what he's working on. chris? >> there's reporting that khashoggi was so worried he may have record what was going on. there's a lot of intrigue going

on with this. it just seems so different from how we've seen the united states government to deal with animosities before so we will go through that and have a big debate on the ongoing point of voter suppression. >> seven minutes from now. chris, thanks very much. see you soon. up next, first lady melania trump talks about her marriage and gives her take on her husband's alleged infidelity, plus why she says she's, quote, the most bullied person in the world. from the start, the c-class was ahead of its time.
