panhandle, some blown away by the 155 mile-per-hour winds. and out of turkey, jamal khashoggi may have recorded his own death. turkish officials say they have audio and visual evidence the "washington post" columnist was killed inside the consulate. we're beginning with the new dramatic picture of hurricane michael as it slammed into mexico beach on the florida panhandle. watch. >> can you imagine standing there watching that out your doorway? we know 17 people now have died because of that storm. officials say the number could rise as search crews move through towns and communities leveled by the storm.
4:03 am
there's a similar story in panama beach. search crews returning to the devastated neighborhoods looking for any signs of life. >> erica hill is in mexico beach this morning. what are you seeing, and when will officials be able to see what's left? we've got to get back to erica in a moment. a technical issue there. the panhandle from panama beach where erica was to the island of st. george, a few dozen people chose to remain despite evacuation orders. gary tuchman spoke to some of them. >> reporter: with so many florida panhandle roads impassable, we charter a boat to
4:04 am
get to st. george island, a barrier island, where a few dozen did not evacuate during hurricane michael. the devastation we see immediately making it clear those people were in peril. tiara walker was one who stayed behind. did you think you were going to die? >> i was. a few points i thought it could happen, that i could die. >> reporter: tiara stayed in an apartment in a heavily damaged restaurant and bar. one of the very few businesses on the island. >> there was a point in time where i felt the roof was going to fly away. i flipped the couch over and tried to prepare for the worst situation. >> reporter: this incredible video comes from a security system as hurricane michael arrived. torrents of water from the gulf of mexico creating currents in the front yard of an evacuated home. this is the video camera that shot that virginia. it still remains. and this is the vantage point.
4:05 am
the water's gone, but the damage so obvious. residents just returning. krista miller's family has lived on this island for over a century. she is a fishing charter captain. >> before the storm took that little jog to the west, we have pretty worried this place would no longer been there. if that storm had not taken that turn, this place would be leveled completely. >> reporter: most homes on st. george island have been damaged. many very extensively like the home of christopher crosier, who's lived here 38 years. one of the risks you take when you live by the water is that you can be devastated by a hurricane. >> i know that. >> reporter: will this make you give up living on an island? >> hell now. too beautiful. i discovered this place in the '70s. and worked every bit of my life to be here in this county. i got a child who's a teacher. staying. i'm here. i'm not going anywhere. >> gosh, glad he's okay. >> yeah.
4:06 am
yeah. >> just a little stretch of beach. >> slender island. we've got erica hill back. she's in mexico beach. good morning. what are you expecting there today? >> reporter: good morning. we are expecting to see more people come into town. the mayor understands why people want to see what's left. he's worried about there being too much traffic, too many people coming into town, even people who don't live here but want to see the extent of the damage. we had a team in a helicopter that came in at first, then yesterday, a hub of activity. they've have cleared the roads. there were enormous flatbeds bringing in big equipment. they need to move deb ris.
4:07 am
they believe they got a lot of the debris, but a lot of structures are no longer here. it's hard to say 100% of buildings have been searched. there were 280 people who were on a list who said they were staying in town. he believes once the storm increased overnight into a category four, he believes a fair amount left. could be a couple dozen, maybe a few more. they don't know exactly. because communications are so difficult, because homes are not where they were before the storm, some simply gone, it's made it difficult to find every resident on the list, but they are trying. some of the folks who made it in yesterday, a lot of people walking around town, stunned, a little dazed. others literally trying to pick up the pieces. they told me the destruction was even worse than what they thought it would be. take a listen. >> from what i've seen in pictures where bombs were
4:08 am
dropped, that's looking like what it looks like here. with god's help, we'll rebuild and gain our strength again. it's going to set us back, but we're resilient people, i think, in mexico beach. >> there's 75% of our city's not here. there's not one local business here. that's operational. not one. we're mom and pop, this isn't hampton inn and pizza hut and walmart. >> reporter: the city managers expects 12 to 18 months before businesses are back. there's no water or sewer system. we know fema administrator brock long is supposed to visit some of the hardest hit areas today. one would imagine the schedule would include mix beach. >> with the sun -- include mexico beach. >> with the sun coming up, it will be tough to deal with.
4:09 am
thank you. we sit here and watch. and much like you, you think, i want to do something but i don't know how to help. we want to help you figure that out. go to our website, cnn.com/impact, to find ways that you can help the people in florida. and elsewhere from the storm. to other big story we're following. that missing saudi journalist and the possible recording of the last moments of his life. a newspaper reporting that jamal khashoggi recorded his death by turning on the function of his apple watch before entering the consulate. >> the columnist for the "washington post" has been missing for more than a week. saudi arabia denies any involvement in his disappearance. arwa damon is live outside the saudi consulate in istanbul. what is the paper there saying about what evidence there may be of his death?
4:10 am
>> reporter: they're saying he did turn the technology on his apple watch, but experts with costing doubt as to whatever was recorded on his watch could have migrated off of it. keep in mind, time has been selectively leaking information, but some knowledge this is a way turkey admits it did have the consulate itself bugged. a source close to western intelligence agencies reports that the turks have audio and video recordings, and had they appear to provide evidence and show a struggle. shouting on them. there are indication, evidence of the final moments of khashoggi's life. this is a politically charged
4:11 am
situation. the nature this has taken. turkey for its part is looking into those 15 persons of interest. saudi nationals that arrived the day that khashoggi went missing. saudi arabia maintains it had nothing to do with his di disappearance saying he left the consulate the day he arrived. turkey is still asking the usda toes provide evidence then to that effect. there's a joint working group that's been established. a saudi delegation arrived to turkey yesterday. we'll have to see what they uncover and what progress say that make. indications are that turkey has limited patience when it comes to all of this, and they are expecting the saudis to show at least a certain level of cooperati
4:12 am
cooperation. last week the turks asked for and received permission to search the consulate and the consul general's house. the saudis asked that that be postponed. we had the emergence of this working group. but it still remains a consoluted and -- convoluted and politically charged situation. >> politically charged, people are wondering how president trump will respond. he's been cautious amid the outrage over the apparent murder of khashoggi. up next, what steps the president might take and what his options are at this point point. the return of pastor andrew brunson released after being held for two years in a turkish prison on charges of helping to plot a coup against president erdogan. and a new interview with first lady melania trump. she herself an immigrant tells abc news she was shocked at the administration's zero-tolerance policy.

president trump is under pressure to take some action against saudi arabia for the alleged killing of jamal khashoggi. the president saying he hasn't even speak e-- even spoke weeked king salman yet. >> but he plans to soon. sarah westwood from the white house. what else is the president saying? >> reporter: so far, not much. the trump administration is not saying what they believe happened to khashoggi, let alone laying out plans for holding the saudis responsible if it turns out that the saudis did know about or order the journalist's alleged murder. the president is under enormous
4:18 am
pressure on both sides of the i'll on capitol hill to take strong action against saudi arabia. so far all he's done is express reluctance to let the new tenses scrap billions of dollars of proposed arms sales with saudi arabia. saudi arabia says mohammed bin salman has been emboldened to be more aggressive on the world stage. the president says he hasn't spoken to bin salman, but here's what he said about the upcoming conversation. >> reporter: have you spoken to the king of saudi arabia? >> i have not. i'll be speaking to him soon. >> reporter: what will the conversation be like? >> i can't tell you that. but they are looking hard and fast -- not and only us. a lot of people are looking to find out. it is potentially a really, really spacial situation. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: it's clear the trump administration is trying to navigate the situation without disrupting economic ties
4:19 am
with saudi arabia. but with international outrage building, trump is under enormous pressure to come down hard against the saudis. >> sarah westwood at the white house, thank you. joining me, wesley laurie, contributor and writer for the "washington post," and lynn sweet, washington bureau chief with the "sun-times." thank you very much for being with us, both of you. wegsl wesley, president trump has vowed to expedited address to deal with this, hasn't done anything else. and said part of that is because of the $110 billion arms deal. he said that deal is intact. with all of that behind us or at the foundation of this, how effective can president trump be, how can he be effective in a case like this? >> certainly. i think president trump has the benefit of being in a wait-and-see mode. we have seen a fair amount of
4:20 am
reporting about what allegedly happened to my colleague jamal khashoggi, we're waiting for whether the official government reports, u.s. intelligence comes up with the information, so the president can punt this for a bit. i think what becomes exponent l exponentially more difficult is once there is a broad consensus about what happened in the consulate and what the reporting has validated, that my colleague was -- was ambushed, murdered, the reports we've seen tortured, perhaps, you know, if that is validated, it puts an additional amount of pressure on president trump to do something of substance. what would be tragic and horrifying would be for an american resident, someone writing for the "washington post" to be essentially is aassassinated for his criticism of the government and for the united states to stand by and do
4:21 am
nothing. the question is once it becomes unquestionably clear whether or not the reports we're seeing are true and are accurate, what is the president going to do. he'll be at that moment soon. >> wesley, are you a colleague of this man. what are you feeling as you heard the reports of the possible apple watch and reports of his killing? >> certainly. when we initially read the reports about the potential being video and audio recording of this death and of this assassination potentially, it was harrowing, the details. that the journalist would show up at a consulate to finalize paperwork for their wedding and never reappear out the front door. horrifying for anyone, much less that this might be a government action, a government-ordered murder, assassination to silence
4:22 am
a critic. as journalists, pregnanty we work together -- whether we work together or not, that's something we condemn. the idea that one of the things that unites us is this thought and this kwon seconcept that we our right to dissent and our voices. and the way that governments and societies change is through people speaking up and advocating that change. to see one of the chief critics of the saudi government potentially be killed by his own government has a real potential chilling effect across not just that nation but distents and critics -- dissidents and critics across the world. >> when we look at getting answers in in way, lynn, what might be complicating it is the fact that there's still no u.s. ambassador to turkey or saudi arabia. how does that make things more difficult? >> it makes it difficult because you don't have as many eyes and
4:23 am
-- eyes on the ground, eyes and ears on the ground as you would want. and it -- this kind of incident shows the impact when you have your state department vacancies, the most important ones, unfilled in these sensitive areas. but it does not mean, however, that the u.s. intelligence and its allied intelligence agencies still cannot be at work. i wouldn't ever emphasize the importance of an ambassador, but it's not the only tool. what the united states has, of course, hanging over the saudis and what the senate -- the senators a few days ago understood is that there is the power of sanctions under the magnitsky act to punish them if indeed they are players in this murder. >> lynn, we're close to the midterms. is there a political stake in
4:24 am
thi this? >> there are so many things on the table. as a journalist, i want to send my concerns and underscore everything that wesley said about the seriousness of a journalist walking into a consulate and not walking out. and that everybody stands in school daughter -- in solidarity. i'm not sure if this one issue is it, but what we're washing is the symbolic moves that the trump administration makes such as whether or not treasury secretary steve mnuchin heads to saudi for a financial conference that's scheduled to happen soon. >> at the end of the month. wesley and lynn, thank you very much. we appreciate you both. >> thank you. tonight van jones is back. don't miss his special gift, dave chappelle, only on "the van jones show" at 7:00 p.m. and do stay with us. we have a look inside the u.s. detention center that is still

4:30 am
separation, zero-tolerance policy, she said she was blind sided by it. >> i was blindsided by it. i told him at home, and i said to him that i feel that's unacceptable, and he -- he felt the same. >> she did support enforcing a strict immigration policy. >> i believe in the policies that my husband put together because i believe that we need to be very vigilant with coming to the country. >> do you think people should be able to bring in their mother and father? >> yes, of course. we need to vet them, we need to know who they are. >> have you told your husband this? >> yes, of course. >> what does he say? >> he agrees. >> there's a new report from the "washington post" that says the white house is considering a policy that could again separate parents and their children at the u.s.-mexico border. this plan would give parents a choice to either stay in family detention with their child as the immigration cases proceed or
4:31 am
allow their children to be taken into a government shelter so other family or guardians can seek custody. >> there still are 1,500 children separated from their parents at the torneo detention center at the texas-mexico border. >> there's a backlog with processing fingerprints, likely a major reason the kids are stuck there for so long. here's laila santiago who went inside. >> reporter: arriving at a migrant shelter, a bus filled with central american families released from i.c.e. custody, a bus showing shadows of children whose little hands we would eventually see gripping their parents. we agreed not to show their cases as they explained why they came to the united states. there this 27-year-old mother tells us gangs forced her to leave honduras, a c-- a country

4:33 am
inside. the government provided this video. we spent two hours behind the gates into what is really like an entire city back there. they have their own firefighterses, they have a place to worship, have a place to eat. we went into one of the tents. i could see bibles placed on their beds, teddy bears there. every indication that these are children living here. and when i went to the barber shop, i met a young man from el salvador who's been here a month and 11 days. when i asked why he is here, why he crossed the border alone, he said he's looking for a better life. another young man said he wanted to get to houston. another, to colorado. all eager to be reunited with family m family. >> there are multiple factors why we have see many kids. we have added additional protections to ensure the children are going to the homes
4:34 am
safely. >> reporter: the average time for a child to stay in hhs custody, 59 days. the reason, they say, more central american children are crossing the border. a 30% increase in just the last two months. the trump administration's zero tolerance policy, it's separated about 2,600 kids from their parents, though most have been reunited. [ crying ] and a new requirement to fingerprint sponsors, agreeing to care for the children waiting for a day in court. the commander says sponsors for more than half of the children here have had fingerprints taken. but it's taking too long to get any sort of report from the fbi. for now he says the facility is expected to keep taking care of these teens through december 31st. >> they're risking their lives, and so you have to ask yourselves what would it take for you to risk your life and that of one of your children or several -- what would it take,
4:35 am
and i think that's what gets lost in all this discussion. >> reporter: in the meantime, children continue to wait, to one day be released, to one day be reunited with family and try to find a better life. laila santiago, cnn, tornillo, texas. an american pastor should be back in the u.s. later today. more on the pastor, andrew brunson, freed from turkey friday. only half the story?

new developments thin the story surrounding disappear -- the journalist who disappeared, jamal khashoggi. his son has been detained, and the officials promise to discuss the disappearance with king salman. the president is now under increasing pressure to challenge the saudi government over his whereabouts. meanwhile, nearly a dozen companies have pulled out of an upcoming investment conference in saudi arabia in response to the situation. joining me, someone who knew khashoggi and has been critical of the response to his disappearance. cnn global affairs analyst aaron david miller. good morning to you. first, the new reporting. your thoughts on the reporting that the saudi government is now pressuring khashoggi's son? >> it's business as usual.
4:41 am
i think there was a travel ban on his son, and i think it's unfortunate. i mean, every effort should be made out of respect for his missing father to allow him to leave, perhaps going to istanbul or come to the united states. part and parsen, i think, of a pattern of behavior which is highly controlling, highly centralized and oppressive. it's important to understand that what happened to jamal is not the first indication of the extent of mohammed bin salman's behavior. it follows a long pattern and arc of arrests in scores of saudi activists, journalists, clerics, and even women who were instrumental in the crown print's reform of allowing women to drive. this is the tail end of highly
4:42 am
repressive policies. >> you've got a new piece in "the atlantic" that i want to examine here. the administration talked in some detail about the cost of action potentially against saudi arabia, jeopardizing this $110 billion arms sales deal. other deals with saudi arabia. from your perspective, what is the cost of inaction? what would this mean, the message to mohammed bin salman? >> the last 600 days and previous administrations for whom i've worked placated the saudis. rarely have i seen working for republican and democratic administrations the degree of latitude and freedom accorded to an ally of the united states and rarely has that ally begun to pursue policies, a boycott against qatar, disastrous war in yemen, virtual kidnapping of the lebanese prime minister with a hostage video to boot last year. we cannot have an ally of the
4:43 am
united states sending hit teams around the world to either render -- maybe it was a rendition that went bad. maybe the plan was to kidnap jamal and not to kill him. or worse, a premedicated murder. we need make -- premeditated murder. we need to make it clear to the saudis, yes, they are important security partners, and we should encourage mohammed bin salman to continue his reform track. no blank checks. and that means that when the incontrovertible evidence appears of whatever the usda desto jamal, the president is -- the saudis did to jamal, the president is going to have to consider, as i think senator corker said, is exacting a pretty heavy price. >> all right. aaron david miller, adviser to republican and democratic secretaries of state. thank you very much for being with us this morning. >> pleasure. right now an american pastor imprisoned in turkey is on his way home.

abusive marriage. she is in a much better place now, i'm happy to tell you. we're talking a lot about abuse lately, aren't we? and if you think that you have an idea of what it is, listen to this -- she talked there about how he held a gun to her head, and he actually had it cocked. and it's just a snippet of an interview that was conducted as a partnership between susie orman, avon foundation for women and avon, and the national domestic violence hotline because it is domestic violence awareness month. and i spoke with katy ray jones, ceo of the hotline, asking her are there a lot of women and men living behind closed doors with this. >> unfortunately, domestic violence is incredibly pervasive in our country. one in four women in their lifetime will experience physical violence by an intimate partner. and so we know that it's so prevalent that we all know someone who's currently experiencing abuse in their home, most likely behind closed doors. and most likely they're not
4:50 am
sharing it with anyone that they know. >> that's part what we wanted to talk about. a lot of people wonder why on earth would somebody not tell someone. it's interesting what finally jolted rhonda to tell somebody. here's what she says happened. she says this happened around thanksgiving. >> this particular evening, he was drinking, he came in, and he beat me up. i remember falling in the hallway from where and i had a black eye and we were supposed to be going to a big thanksgiving dinner at my mother's and he said not only am i going to take care off you, but i'm going over to your parents house and i'm going to shoot and kill your mom and your dad and your sister. okay. he left with a gun in his truck and i thought i have to tell
4:51 am
