10:00 pm
welcome to our viewers here in the united states and joining us from around the world. i'm natalie allen live from atlanta. we are keeping track of hurricane dorian. the bahamas getting blasted right now by the strongest storm to ever hit the islands. dorian is a catastrophic category 5 storm with winds of 180 miles an hour. that's about 300 kilometers an hour. it has slowed to a crawl and is expected to stay over the bahamas for the next 24 hours. the bahamas prime minister took a somber tone on sunday. >> this is probably the most sad
10:01 pm
and worst day of my life to address the bahamian people, and i just want to say that as a physician, i've been trained to withstand many things, but never anything like this. >> the storm has destroyed homes and ripped the roofs off buildings in the abaco islands. one woman trapped with her family pleaded for help. >> please pray for us. please pray for us, everyone. please pray for us, me and my baby. everyone that's staying in the apartment building, we're stuck right here. please pray for us. i'm asking y'all please pray for us. >> flooding is also a major concern with a storm surge up to 23 feet or 7 meters. the northwest bahamas could see as much as eight months' worth of rain in just a few days.
10:02 pm
>> this is now my house. the water is up to my calf. so is the kitchen. the hole is getting bigger in the roof. that's a lot of water. >> and this is what dorian looks like from the international space station. that gives you an idea of the size of this storm. as we said, the strongest anywhere on the planet this
10:03 pm
year. also noaa released pictures of dorian's eyewall that showed the clouds curving outward. that's a phenomenon known as a stadium effect. let's bring in ivan cabrera. >> you saw the sun there with that picture. the hurricane hunters there, you can see bright blue skies, sunshine, and then beneath them, of course, the washing machine that is the claatlantic ocean, caribbean sea at this point. what they're going through right now, we don't know because it hasn't happened before. let's show you the pictures. the way we measure these hurricanes is by pressure. but if we're just going to go by wind, there's only been one that's been higher, and that was 190-mile-an-hour winds. that was back in 1980 with alan. so this is pretty close. this was at 185. the 11:00 p.m. advisory has us
10:04 pm
now down to 180. can we say down? this is a category 5, a strong one here. if you're watching this internationally, the western pacific, this would be considered basically a super typhoon. let zoom in here. a different name for different areas. look at this. a beeline across the entire length of grand bahama island. freeport is now experiencing the worst this hurricane has to offer, which is 220-mile-an-hour wind gusts potentially here across the island. this is going to rake through. look at the slowdown here. this is going to take a day to get out of the way. i'll show you that in the track in a second. the miami radar being able to pick up the rainfall here, and there you see the eye well concentrated. lightning strikes along the eyewall, just an examination of its health. very healthy hurricane obviously here. you don't get them much stronger than this. 130 miles. it's just an eerie picture to see south florida and a cat 5 hurricane that will not make a direct landfall, we don't think, across south florida here. despite that, all these colors,
10:05 pm
what do we have? hurricane warnings impacting boca raton all the way into cape canaveral. that means that hurricane conditions can be felt. are you going to have 180-mile-an-hour winds? no, we're not talking about that. but this storm is large enough and the proximity to the coast and the way the winds expand further to the west, you are going to get raked with potentially some hurricane-force winds heading into the next 24 hours. the yellow you see, those are tropical storm warnings for winds in excess of 40 miles an hour. less of a threat there, but the problem is if you get 40-mile-an-hour wind gusts in a thunderstorm, okay, that's fine. but this is going to take two days to go along the coast. so not only are we going to have hurricane-force winds along the coast potentially, but those tropical storm force winds are going to continue for 24, maybe 48 hours across florida. look at the very slow movement. this is 24 hours from now east of west palm beach. then we jump into melbourne here. that would be tuesday 8:00 p.m. so in 24 hours from palm beach
10:06 pm
to melbourne. can you imagine that? also notice the turn eventually taking it east of jacksonville by the time we get into wednesday, 8:00 p.m. then it curves out to sea. the big question is when is that turn going to occur? it hasn't happened yet. think of a cruise ship. if the captain says all of a sudden, we got to turn this thing around, well, you're not going to be able to do that on the fly because that momentum will continue. so the steering currents are going to want to pull this up, but dorian, because it's a category 5 with 180-mile-an-hour winds, is going to want to keep going in a westerly direction. so that's going to have to come into play as well, which is why we have still the eastern side of the cone across florida. i know i stayed on that graphic long, but i think that's the one really we're watching here. the models again for florida has been looking better and better, but because of its proximity, we can't rule out significant effects along the coast, and it
10:07 pm
looks like we're have to deal with this thing wednesday into thursday for the carolinas. that remains to be seen what it is at that point. looking like a category 3 potential. it has been quite a week. no question about it. people are frustrated. we keep changing the forecast. the models keep doing that. we're doing the best we can to tell you where you need to be out of the way for this storm because it's an unprecedented one, and it is going to be still a dangerous one for the u.s. despite the fact we're not thinking just at landfall where the eye comes over -- in florida anyway. that could happen in the carolinas. >> one thing is for sure. it's menacing. >> yes, absolutely. no question. >> ivan, thank you. well, celebrity chef jose andres is experiencing the full force of dorian. on sunday he posted a video on social media trying to describe the ferocity of the storm. >> so i want everybody to
10:08 pm
understand we are -- >> he is in the bahamas with his nonprofit organization. you probably have heard about it by now, world central kitchen, the charity devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters. cnn's ana cabrera spoke with him about the challenges of helping people in the area. here he is. >> i think this is the first time i heard that video. i posted it on twitter, but, you know, we are in nassau. yes, when i did that video, the winds were super heavy, probably 80, 90 miles per hour. we need to understand that nassau is really on the edge of the hurricane. but i can tell you that even in nassau, while the hurricane has not hit here, it has done in the other two islands in the north. many homes around nassau are really full of water. many people in many hotels, restaurants. nobody has been going to work.
10:09 pm
many of the restaurants are closed precisely because of this water surge. so we are in a comfort zone compared to the people that are suffering obviously the most. all the people in the abacos and the people in the grand bahamas. those are the people that right now as we speak, they are still experiencing all this power of this big hurricane. >> i mean you talk about what is already happening and what is yet to come, and we know there are water shortages, water cut off in a lot of areas already. and i think about the work you're doing, trying to feed and nurture these people who are in need. i wonder how do you do it without water? >> well, i was able to meet briefly today the prime minister of the bahamas. i was able to meeting with the person in charge of what will be
10:10 pm
the fema of the bahamas. i've been able to talk to the secretary of tourism and transportation. we went to visit them at the hurricane emergency center, and i think they have a plan. so obviously it's going to have to be a very big deployment of resources, of water, of food. more important, medical. more important, probably a lot of people are in danger as we speak. and as soon as the hurricane passes and the sea goes down, we're going to have to be right there hopefully by boat, hopefully maybe by plane or helicopter to start, you know, bringing relief to all -- more than 70,000 people that are in between these two big islands of abacos and the grand bahamas. >> it's amazing what you're doing. why put yourself in harm's way? why is this so important to you?
10:11 pm
>> listen, i've been doing this for a long time. i do feel this is harm's way. world central kitchen, it's more than cooks. it's all types of people with different expertise that within this year alone, indonesia, after tsunamis, cyclones, volcanos, fires. so we are safe. we know how to handle ourselves. obviously we don't want to become part of the problem. we don't want anybody to have to save us. but we like to be quick and fast, near the action so immediately we can be part of the reconstruction. at the same time we have teams in florida and south carolina trying to understand how this hurricane is behaving and trying to be right there, proactive, in case the hurricane changes course, we can be there next to the people, feeding them and covering the needs of our partners. >> so, again, hurricane warnings
10:12 pm
are posted along florida's east coast. even if the storm doesn't make landfall there, it's still expected to do a lot of damage. an army of power trucks is assembling throughout the state to restore electricity. mandatory evacuations begin in the coming hours in parts of florida, georgia, and south carolina. and florida's governor has activated 4,500 members of the national guard. >> we're expecting gusts to be category 1 at least in the current projections. once again our biggest concern is that storm stays offshore, and as it starts to move up, it's going to be pushing an awful lot of water off the ocean into the inlets, into the sebastian river inlet, the lagoons. so we just want to make sure that this is going to be a fairly -- a very wet, very
10:13 pm
significant event as far as the water push goes. >> i want to remind our residents to take hurricane dorian very seriously. it's a category 5 very powerful storm. it can be tempting to look at those spaghetti models and that track and hope for that turn to the north. >> jacksonville, florida, is one of the biggest cities in the u.s., and it could be directly in dorian's path. cnn's dianne gallagher is there. >> reporter: hurricane dorian may still be days away from actually passing here around jacksonville, but officials are not taking any chances. a local state of emergency goes into effect at midnight in jacksonville, and mandatory evacuations kick in at 8:00 a.m. for zones a and b as well as naval station mayport. several of the surrounding counties also have mandatory evacuations in effect in preparation for whatever this unpredictable as far as local officials are concerned hurricane may bring. they're not quite sure what the impact will be, but they look at the path, and they know that
10:14 pm
hurricane irma, hurricane matthew in recent history have caused significant damage, specifically the st. john's river in terms of flooding in the downtown and some residential areas. so they want people to get out of town now. if they can't leave, they have shelters that are opening at 10:00 in the morning on monday, making sure that people have, again, plenty of time to come up with that plan, get prepared, and get out of jacksonville. schools are going to be closed on tuesday and wednesday. they don't want people to feel like they have to rush back after this storm goes out away from here and continues up the coast. but, again, jacksonville asking their residents to be prepared, be ready, and they'd rather them be safe than sorry. >> exactly. so in the southeastern u.s., people are bracing for the worst from dorian. they're stacking sandbags, boarding up property, and evacuating areas that could possibly feel the brunt of this storm's impact.
10:15 pm
cnn spoke with the mayor of charleston, south carolina, about how that city is preparing. >> we are serious about this storm. we will have impacts to south carolina, and so the city of charleston has put in place our emergency operation personnel, and we're out there securing our property, asking our citizens to do the same and to take this seriously. we have our stormwater crews out clearing lines and checking pumps and adding additional pumps. we'll be serving our citizens tomorrow with sandbags, and we'll be facilitating the governor's just recent evacuation order, which takes effect tomorrow at noon in charleston county. >> okay. so people will start evacuating tomorrow. we know the governor mcmaster was part of president trump's briefing today. what resources have you received at this point from the federal government? >> we've requested resources through our state emergency
10:16 pm
management division, including extra high water rescue vehicles and teams in the event that they're needed. over the next few days, we'll be facilitating as many people to leave as possible so we keep everyone safe. >> officials aren't taking chances with the potential impact of dorian on the east coast. u.s. coast guard vice admiral scott bushman spoke earlier on cnn. this is what he said about operations currently under way. >> we have been preparing for this storm for over a week now, and we want to make sure we're ready for any possibility. our local captain and ports have been working with the maritime industry to ensure our ports are open as long as possible, allow commodities to flow in. we're looking at our assets, aircraft, boats, getting them out of the immediate storm's
10:17 pm
path so they're protected. these preparations, we're working very closely with the impacted states, with fema in direct sport of the staupport od fema. emergency preparedness and response, working as a team sport here. >> it is an unpredictable storm. we don't know when, exactly where, for how long it could hit. i think the only thing that has been predictable is its strength. 185-mile-per-hour sustained winds right now. how do you handle that knowing the tragejectory may change. >> we're constantly analyzing the storm and putting our operations where they're needed. i have all the assets at my disposal. i'm bringing in assets from other parts of the coast guard. i got to tell thank you is an extremely powerful storm.
10:18 pm
not only catastrophic winds, there will be a storm surge. there will be rain. the local citizens, if they haven't finalized their preparations, they need to do so now and listen to their state and local emergency managers. next here, a texas community remembers the people they lost. how they are honoring the victims of yet another mass shooting in the united states. and among those victims, this little girl. we'll have an update on her condition as she fights to recover. new align whole food probiotic.

busch we have new details about the man who killed 7 people and injured 22 others in west texas. "the new york times" reports the 36-year-old had been fired from his trucking job a few hours before he went on a shooting rampage. police have not determined a motive. they're investigating his home. meanwhile, in odessa, a grieving community is remembering the victims. ♪ amazing graze how sweet the sound ♪
10:23 pm
>> as mourners gatherings a vigil and praying for the people they lost. cnn's ryan young was there. >> reporter: another tragedy in an american city. so many questions about why this shooting happened, but what we do know so far is the details about police officers getting ready to pull over a man in a car. apparently they were pulling him over because of failure of using his signal. that man used a gun to shoot through a back window toward officers. from there, a spree started of gunfire and a police chase. it ended with police surrounding a 36-year-old man and shooting and killing him. at a memorial sunday night, we saw hundreds of people come together to pay their respects to the fallen. seven people are dead. 22 are injured. but the big question is why did this have to happen? in fact, two of the youngest people here had to pay their respects to a friend they lost in the shooting, a shooting they called senseless. >> even though she's gone, she's still here in our heart. and this is all for her so
10:24 pm
people could know who she was, because she was everything. and everyone misses layla hernandez. i just think that she needs to come high in my mind. i want her to come back, but she can't. i just pray to go she's okay wherever she is, doing well, and we'll see her again. >> reporter: authorities did hold a news conference, but they were light on details so far. what we do know is the shooter was 36 years old. he was a white male. he used an ar-15. they didn't perform a search warrant at his house, but from there, there's no determination what the motive could be. this investigation continues and there's lots of questions in this community. ryan young, cnn, odessa, texas. >> one of the youngest injured in saturday's attack was just 17 months old. the family of anderson davis,
10:25 pm
this little girl, says she is recovering. she's expected to have surgery in the coming hours. her parents released a statement. it reads in part, words cannot express the emotions we are experiencing after living through the tragic events that unfolded in our hometown yesterday afternoon. we praise god for walking beside us during this time and our prayers go out to all the families that are walking this same walk. the little girl's teacher has started a gofundme campaign, and so far it has raised more than $175,000. earlier, she spoke with cnn about the baby's recovery. >> they went in, and they closed the hole in her bottom lip. they closed the hole in her tongue. they have to go see an oral surgeon for her two front teeth. on top of that, they had to open up her chest to get the shrapnel out. they left one piece in there because it was just too small to get, but she's expected to make
10:26 pm
a 100% recovery, and she's acting like nothing ever happened. i started the gofundme yesterday. i called her family and asked her family, you know, i didn't want to invade their privacy in such a tragic time. she told me that she would love for that to be done. the last thing that you think about, you know, after your daughter gets shot is how am i going to pay for this. so i went ahead and set up the gofundme account i had the goal at $20,000, and within 20 minutes, we hit that goal. so i upped it up to $50,000, and within another hour, we hit that goal. so i just finally upped it to $200,000, and we've almost hit that goal. the money will go straight to the davis family. it will help with the care flight she had to have, the surgery she has to have, the
10:27 pm
oral surgeon that she has to go see, and it will just take a whole load off of that family. >> cnn's brooke baldwin spoke with a man who witnessed the attack. dustin fawcett says he saw baby anderson shortly after she'd been injured. dustin is also a new father. >> i saw the mother getting out with baby anderson. >> you saw baby anderson? >> talk about hitting home, you know. it was pretty surreal to see -- seeing the blood coming from her face and mouth and kind of on her hands. i had hoped maybe it was just, you know, shatter from the glass that had gotten her or maybe just in a traffic accident, something had gotten her, why she was bleeding. you always hope she's not shot. the way her mother was consoling her, you could tell it wasn't quite critical, that a bullet had hit her. >> president trump called the
10:28 pm
shooting in texas, quote, a very sad situation. he says he's working with congress to deal with gun violence in america, but he's also downplaying the need for background checks on gun buyers. >> we're looking at a lot of different things. we're looking at a lot of different bills, ideas, concepts. it's been going on for a long while. background checks. i will say that for the most part, sadly, if you look at the last four or five going back even five or six or seven years, for the most part, as strong as you make your background checks, they would not have stopped any of it. so it's a big problem. it's a mental problem. it's a big problem. >> the governor of texas, who has witnessed several mass shootings in his term, says he's tired of all the bloodshed. >> i'm heartbroken by the crying
10:29 pm
of the people of the state of texas. i'm tired of the dying of the people of the state of texas. too many texans are in mourning. too many texans have lost their lives. the status quo in texas is unacceptable, and action is needed. >> the governor is a big supporter of gun rights. notably this latest massacre happened just one day before more lax gun laws went into effect in texas. we'll be right back. s. more towers. more coverage! it's a network that gives you ♪freedom from big cities, to small towns, we're with you. because life can take you almost anywhere, t-mobile is with you. no signal goes farther or is more reliable in keeping you connected.

10:33 pm
you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from atlanta. i'm natalie allen, and here are our top stories. "the new york times" is reporting that the gunman in the texas mass shooting saturday had been fired from his trucking job a few hours before he carried out the shooting attack. in odessa, texas, mourners gathered add a vigil for the 7 people killed and 22 others injured in the shooting. chinese state media warning hong kong protesters this way with this quote. the end is coming. they're addressing anyone who attempts to disrupt hong kong and, quote, antagonize china. this comes the day after demonstrators blocked transport links to the city's international airport. 25 flights were canceled, and there was gridlock for hours. reigning tennis champion novak djokovic has withdrawn from his fourth-round match at the u.s. open. the world number one tennis player was forced to retire from
10:34 pm
the tournament due to an existing shoulder injury. djokovic was losing to stan wawrinka. stan now moving to the semifinals. forecasters say hurricane dorian could spend the next 24 hours over the bahamas with heavy rain and sustained winds of 180 miles per hour. that's nearly 300 kilometers an hour. it is the strongest storm to ever hit the islands and the strongest anywhere on the planet this year. dorian has ripped the roofs off homes and brought widespread flooding. storm chaser aaron jayjack is joining me now from vero beach, florida. aaron, thank you for being with us. are you starting to feel the effects of this storm yet? >> yeah. i mean we're definitely just now this afternoon, you know, there was a difference between the last 24 hours where it wasn't really much wind yesterday. but now starting this afternoon
10:35 pm
we've had these sustained winds here now at least 20 miles an hour, gusts of 25, 30 miles per hour. so not quite tropical storm force winds yet, but i expect by morning there will be a different scenario out there. there should be much bigger seas and tropical storm-force winds in the morning here. >> how many people have you noticed that it seems are staying there in the vero beach vicinity and riding this out? >> yeah. so there's definitely people are sticking around here. i think for the most part it's probably going to be a pretty close call, but it won't likely come onto land here. if you look at the models, some of those models do have a -- a couple of those models do come onshore and do have landfall in florida. so it's a risk here if you don't evacuate and you're in an evacuation zone. you're taking a gamble here by not evacuating. >> what have emergency responders been saying in the vero beach area as far as not knowing where this storm will
10:36 pm
go? even just in the past hour, we've been hearing it may be taking more of a western track and that would not be good news for that area. >> yeah. so here we do have evacuations, mandatory evacuation in the morning, so i'm in a resort hotel right now. but they're making us leave at 11:00 a.m. i was actually hoping i could stay here one more night because it seems like this is going to be a multi-day, slow event unfolding here. for the officials, i think they've been taking the proper precautions in fairness here, and they are ready to reverse flow if they need to and get people out of here. i don't think there's really much concern as far as getting people left here out of here. a lot of people have left. there's not many people here. the few people that are here, they're used to this situation and they're probably going to stay here and ride the storm out. >> right. when was the last time that veerio beach experienced a hurricane? >> i was talking to the lady that lives here, and she said the last time was the matthew
10:37 pm
2016 hurricane that came cruising up along the coast here and a lot of people i was talking to around here, they stuck around for that storm. but, you know, we've got to have that same situation this time with that hurricane just sitting offshore here and florida, just battering the coast for multiple days. >> as you say, the winds starting to whip up there. aaron jayjack in vero beach. thanks aaron. >> no problem. thanks a lot. scientists have long warned that climate change and rising ocean temperatures could make hurricanes worse. cnn's dana bash spoke with acting fema administrator peter gain gaynor about that, but he side stepped the question about the impact of global warming on storms like dorian. >> reporter: researchers say that we're going to see even more very intense hurricanes due to the climate crisis. do you agree with that? >> you know, you can look through the history of the past 25 years or so. there's been more hurricanes,
10:38 pm
more intensity. again, i think we can look to that at another date. but i think the message today is for residents, especially with the newly -- new cat 5 is don't take your eye off this storm. >> here are the facts on how climate change could affect hurricanes. rising sea levels are making storm surge more dangerous and making storms wetter, increasing the rainfall rate as well as the amount of precipitation a storm can produce. strong storms are getting even stronger because of warmer oceans, and storms are rapidly intensifying more frequently. next here, we are following the most serious cross-border exchange between israel and hezbollah in years along the lebanese border. a live report coming next. also, angry protesters in hong kong are refusing to back down. but after a weekend of turmoil, china is losing patience. more about that coming up.

we have this story from yemen. every single person in a detention facility was wounded or killed in a series of recent air strikes south of sanaa. that according to the international red cross. yemen rebels say at least 60 people were killed, 50 hurt in the attacks by the saudi-led coalition. the red cross says the death toll could be at least 100. the coalition claims it bombed a legitimate military target which housed drones and missile depots, adding that civilians were advised in advance to stay away from the area. well, tensions remain high along the lebanese border after the sharpest escalation in more than four years between hezbollah and israel. iran-backed hezbollah says it attacked an israeli army base
10:43 pm
and a nearby military vehicle on sunday. israel responded with artillery strikes and helicopter fire. cnn's oren liebermann now joins us live from northern israel with more on the latest on this situation. oren. >> reporter: natalie, we're standing here in northern israel very close to the israel-lebanon border. in fact that's southern lebanon there behind me. you already get a sense of how quickly things have changed since sunday afternoon. there are cars driving normally on the road here behind us much as we saw in the town we were in this morning, everyone is getting back to their normal routine. there is a drone we hear overhead and that is an indication that tensions here remain high. this round all starts on sunday afternoon whether iran-backed hezbollah fired a series of anti-tank missiles as military headquarters right along the border, israel says those miss ilz struck a building inside the military headquarters as well as a military vehicle though they say no soldiers were injured in the strike.
10:44 pm
israel's retaliation included more than 100 artillery shells fired. israeli termed it very limited helicopter strikes. as quickly as this began, it was overment within two hours of those anti-take missiles being fired, the military had lifted restrictions on civilians in the northern border, and that as we've seen along the gaza border is a very strong indication that israel for now at least believes this round of fighting is over. and certainly as we look around with those civilian restrictions being lifted, that's what it looks like now. but the situation remains tense. how did this start? well, hezbollah had promised to retaliate after israeli strikes in syria about a week and a half ago. israel says they were thwarting a drone attack from iranian forces based in syria. there were also drone strikes in beirut widely attributed to israel. israel is expecting a response. that's what we saw play out across the border on sunday afternoon. natalie. >> yeah.

as we said, the first time this has happened in several years. from all indications, are people carrying on with their normal lives after this? >> reporter: it looks that way right now from the people we've seen, from the driving we've done through a few of the cities and towns between where we started our morning and now. this is certainly not a peaceful border. there is no relations between israel and lebanon, certainly not between the israeli military and hezbollah. yet for years it was the quietest border and perhaps one of the calmest. even if it is tense, people are used to living under that tension and it seems that's what they're doing once again this morning. >> oren liebermann in northern israel. thank you. the china state news agency says the end is coming for demonstrations that disrupt hong kong and antagonize china. and hong kong security secretary says the protesters are now showing, quote, signs of terror. this after a weekend of some of the most violent protests in the
10:46 pm
past three months of political turmoil. police and protesters got into heated battles in the street saturday. demonstrators threw gas bombs and burned barricades as police shot water cannon and tear gas to try and disperse the crowds. on sunday, protesters caused major traffic disruptions to the city's airport and vandalized several subway stations. cnn's will ripley gave us this report from the front lines. >> reporter: right now riot police have just moved out of this area, and you can hear the crowds shouting at them, cheering as they go. this has been a really extraordinary scene out here because protesters were determined to stay some sort of disruptive event at the hong kong airport, but they weren't able to get inside the airport -- let's get over here -- because security around the airport is only allowing in passengers and flight crew. so what the protesters did instead was they caused disruption around the airport.
10:47 pm
they set up barricades, set them on fire. the streets were gridlocked. the bridge to the airport completely impassable for hours. people had to get out of their cars and walk. people with their suitcases and luggage had to walk sometimes more than an hour just to make their flight. and now the riot police who came here to this station have really nothing to do because all of the protesters who came into the ngr vandalized, spray painted, set off the sprinkler system -- they all left before the police even arrived. so now officers are leaving after we didn't see them make any arrests here as far as we could tell, and they move on to the next location, where the next group of protesters might pop up. police don't really know what the protesters are going to do next. that's been the whole point of this protest movement. move quickly. mess things up, and get out before the police arrive. they feel that this is a sustainable model to make their

the brexit battle is entering what looks like a tumultuous week ahead for the united kingdom. prime minister boris johnson is out with the warning, telling "the sunday times ," quote, people campaigning against no deal are making it more likely. cnn's hadas gold has more on what he means along with some other political developments. >> reporter: the battle lines on brexit are hardening ahead of what will be a pivotal week in the uk parliament. in his first newspaper interview after suspending parliament for longer than normal, prime minister boris johnson told "the sunday times" that an effort by opposition parties to pass a bill in parliament to stop a no-deal is actually making it
10:53 pm
more likely. johnson questioned what the legislation would actually achieve, considering it would likely force another extension to the uk leaving the eu, something they've already done twice, and then in an interview with bbc that stunned political observers here, one of johnson's senior cabinet ministers actually declined to confirm that they would abide by a bill blocking no-deal if it were to pass. >> if this legislation goes through both houses of parliament, does the government abide by it? >> let's see what the legislation says. you're asking me about a pig and a poke, and i will wait to see what legislation the opposition may try to bring forward. >> you know what their intention is. for a government to say we won't abide by legislation is impossible. >> well, we will see what the legislation says when it is put forward. the most important thing for me is to bear in mind we actually already have legislation that an overwhelming majority of mps voted for.
10:54 pm
we already have an eu withdrawal act. we already have the notice on article 50. >> okay. >> we leave the european union. the overwhelming majority of mps voted to do that. >> i understand all that. >> trying to do now is to stay, you know british people, i said that we would leave. i said in my manifesto we would leave. now i actually think we won't leave. >> meanwhile, on the other side of brexit, we, of course, have the european union watching all of this drama unfold. and in an op-ed for "the sunday telegraph," the eu's chief negotiator wrote he is not optimistic about avoiding a no-deal brexit and they are rejecting the uk's plan to scrap the irish backstop, the condition that requires a hard border between northern island and the republic of ireland. 9 government's decision to suspend parliament will also be tested in court where several cases are seeking an injunction are expected to start. hadas gold, cnn, london. and from california, we've
