♪ raging out of control. wildfires are burning up and down the u.s. west coast, as authorities in oregon warn of a mass fatality incident. an influential model of the united states says coronavirus deaths could double by january. we'll talk about that. and afghan leaders open historic talks with the taliban. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo is there, too, urging all sides to seize the opportunity. live from cnn headquarters in

atlanta. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom." thank you for joining us this hour. this year's fire season in the western u.s. is already one of the worst ever recorded. more than 100 massive wildfires, 100 are now racing unchecked through one dozen states pushed by hot winds across bone dry landscapes. at least 26 people have been killed since the fires broke out in mid-august. and in an ominous sign, the death toll almost certainly will go much higher. oregon officials are preparing for mass fatalities, as they search through burned out homes

and communities. the governor says dozens of people currently are unaccounted for. and they issued this dire warning. >> i can't see this enough, if you are notified by emergency officials to evacuate, please do so immediately, you may not get a second chance. >> california, where at least 19 people have died is battling about two dozen major fires across the state. one san francisco bay area resident said the orange sky, ash and smoke feels a little like doomsday. the smoke is so bad in parts of california that officials cannot even assess the damage or report on how many homes have been lost. we get latest from cnn's sara sidner. >> reporter: massive wildfires from southern california to washington state. the nearly, the entire west

coast of the united states is now covered in smoke. in california, infamous for its infernos, fire of the largest fires ever recorded in the state are burning now. firefighters are battling california's biggest blaze in history in the northern part of the state. none of these big fires are close to containment, just a week after record temperatures reached 121 degrees in los angeles. >> this is a climate damn in which, this is real. >> reporter: governor gavin newsom said he's done declaring science. >> what we're experiencing right here is coming to a community all across the united states unless we disabuse ourselves of the all of the bs that's being spewed by a very small group of people. >> reporter: newsom said firefighters as far as away from canada and israel are on their

way to help. >> this canyon has not burned in recorded history so it is a powder keg. >> reporter: one fire in california has already claimed at least ten lives this weeker more than a dozen are accounted for. >> we watched the trees and then embers. >> reporter: across this shelter, denise henderson said she dived into a lake. >> eight of us had to go to the end of the road, get in the sand and in the water to avoid fires. >> reporter: 1,000 acres every 30 seconds, turning day into night this week isn't san francisco. in oregon, destroyed neighborhoods are stained pink with fire retardant, while some 10% of the population is evacuating. >> we came here a year ago after leaving the paradise fire. lost everything then. there's not much to lose. but, god, this is terrible. >> reporter: contrasting satellite images show

communities in phoenix now reduced to ash. in washington state, more acres have been burned in the last three days than in all of last year. >> i've never seen any winds like this in my lifetime. >> reporter: the entire town of morgan is now gone. >> this very devastating to our town. we have no chance. >> reporter: in california, in many places it's been raining ash for more than a week. and to give you some idea, just how much acreage is actually burning it is double the size the state of delaware. that is what is on fire here in the state of california. sarah sider in, monrovia, california. >> stephen, thanks for coming on, i know you're very tired. you have a lot on your plate. >> that's okay. happy to be with you, there are

a lot of firefighters and community members that are much more tired than i am. >> first up, you have two large fires threatening to merge. what is the latest on that situation? >> yeah, so weather's been favorable both today and yesterday. at this point, those two fires have not merged so we're really grateful that fire conditions were more favorable today. and allowed us to get ahead and make some real good progress today. >> at first people outside of portland didn't want to evacuate. and i know there might have been some evacuations near salem as well. for the most part, are most people out of harm's way? >> yeah, at this time, there are still people in level three evacuations and people that can't get back to their homes. but due to fire conditions, we're hoping those may change in the near future. but we are glad that we're not dealing with as much evacuation and rescues like the first few days. >> unlike the critical

california fires, we mentioned you're there in salem, the oregon fires have sccome very close to large cities, portland included. did that call for danger or potential for trouble within the cities? >> well, the reality here in oregon is we don't usually have fires that are touching up against our cities in this way. we're burning this side of the cascade mountain range so this is a really unique event. so, we're working with communities right now have never expected that this is going to be happening right in their back door. they've been great in cooperating with us. we're seeing lots of people working together. we have fires across our state. firefighters back home in my fire department have been fighting fire since monday night on three-day shifts. so, the whole fire community is working really hard so the communities will stay safe and continue to stay safe. >> right. so, as you mentioned, some people have never been through anything like this. have not had a threat like this

in oregon. people in california, unfortunately, a little more used to it. i know at first people didn't want to leave their homes. and this came up very quickly. but that's turned around, you say? >> yeah, i mean, as the fire conditions have improved, we've been able to make some inroads and i think people are understanding that right now, as the weather stands and the fire operation stands we're in a much better place based on those factors. so i think people are breathing a little sigh of relief, i hope they are, if they don't have this information already. we continue to be vigilant, as you never know how fire conditions can pick up and be erratic. >> i have to ask, you talk about the resolve and hard work of the firefighters. have you ever experienced anything like you're seeing in oregon right now? >> yeah, as our firefighters are coming back, and i also want to applaud some of the local

firefighters, right here in the san santa santiam canyon. i'm proud to stand with the brothers and sisters in the fire districts across the state of oregon as they have really shown the resolve and hard work they're willing to do when their community needs their help. >> that's great. as you say things are starting to look like conditions are getting better. we're thankful for that. stefan myers, thanks for your time. wish you best. >> thanks. let's go to derek van dam who has been tracking the terrific fires, and he joins us and, gosh, derek, your map says it all. >> we're thankful for the firefighters listening to that, natalie, for profound work. it's difficult to quantify the

hard work of firefighters, people hear the statistics, they gloss over, maybe this will help. we're talking about 100 active large fires burning out of control right now. those active wildfires burning more than 1 million acres, that's nearly half the size of the state of new jersey. you can see, that's blanketing over 2,000 miles of coastline from the border of u.s. and canada, to mexico. and stretches across and getting wrapped up in a coastal system that's barreling through the coastal regions. more on that. oregon, 10% of the state's population under some sort of evacuation order right now. it's no wonder we have the world's worst air quality in the western portion of the country. 28 large active wildfires in the state of california. right now to put it in per

inspect stiff for viewer, three of the top five largest fires burning in california history right now. and this particular season, the most acreage burned ever recorded for that particular state eclipsed in 2018 which was one of the benchmark years. so, if we talk about climate change and the warming planet, we know that areas burned by wildfires are increasing especially in the western part of the united states. that's a telltale sign, fingerprints of climate change written all over it. we have a chance of rain fall, cloud cover, increasing relative humidity all helping to mitigate fire control over the next few days. but we have to be patient. that doesn't arrive until tuesday and wednesday of this week. back to you. >> all right, derek, thank you. the united states is closing in on 200,000 lives lost because of the coronavirus pandemic. and now, an influential model predicts that death toll could be more than double by january

1. to 415,000. the doctor who runs that model says this year's holiday season will likely be grim. >> when we look ahead into the winter with seasonality kicking in, people becoming clearly less vigilant. mask use is down, mobility is up in the nation, we put all of those together, and we look like we're going to have a very deadly december. >> meantime, the nation's top infectious disease expert is breaking ranks with president trump over the claim that the u.s. is, according to mr. trump's words, rounding the corner. in an interview friday, dr. foup fau anthony fauci said that's not true at all. >> i'm sorry, i have to disagree with that. if you look at the thing you just mentioned, the statistics, andrea, they're disturbing. we're plat together around 40,000 cases a day. and the deaths are around 1,000.

>> in an earlier interview with cnn, dr. fauci expressed cautious optimism about a vaccine, but that it would still take time for life to return to normal. >> i think it's going to take several months before we get to the point where we can really feel something that approximates how it was normally before covid-19. and for that reason, i made the projection of getting back to that state of normality well into 2021. sand very unlikely before then. >> it may be a while. well, brazil's death toll has now passed 130,000. authorities reported nearly 44,000 new cases friday. bringing the nation's total to nearly 4.3 million. only the united states has had more deaths from the virus. india has seen its third day in a row of record setting new

infection numbers. authorities reported nearly 98,000 new cases saturday, bringing india's total to more than 4.6 million. and new infections are increasing in the united kingdom. the officials saying the virus reproduction rate, or r-number is above 1 for the first time since march. the r-number tells us how many secondary cases are caused by a single infected person. if it's above 1, every sick individual is infecting at least one other person. and the virus is spreading. with that higher r-number new restrictions on gatherings go in effect on monday, and for more on that, scott mclean joins us now from london. this has to be a disappointment to many people there that their lives are going to take another hit on lack of freedom. >> yeah. you're absolutely right, natalie.

people are really aching for things to get back to normal. and it seems that's likely not going to happen anytime soon. in fact, we're going in the opposite direction at this point. you mentioned that r-number, the government's number is between 1 and 1.2. an empirical college number puts it to 1.17. that means they will infect another 17 people. the second wave of the virus has actually eclipsed the first wave of the virus. now, obviously there's been more testing since the spring which inevitably captured more cases. the overall has not been good. spain has beared the brunt of this the second time around. they're seeing a ramped up number of cases, something that the uk has not seen quite yet. last count, more than 3500 cases reported of the virus in a single day.

those numbers not seen since march. but as i said, because the virus is primarily impacting younger people, they've sort of avoided the deaths and hospitalizations that we saw the first time around. this week, health officials in this country are warning that the virus is starting to creep back into the older segments of the population. and perhaps, the uk may also start to see more deaths, more hospitalizations to come. so, in response, as you said, the uk is instituting new rules. british prime minister boris johnson announced them this week that maximum size of social gathering from go from a maximum of 30 right now down to six people. the on exceptions, work and school. the rule changes come after the british police complain that the current hodgepodge of rules are simply too complicated to enforce. this time around the prime minister promising that the new round of rules will come with stricter enforcement. >> all right. we'll are to prepare for that.

thank you for that, scott mclean in london. 19 years after the united states went to war over the historic 9/11 attack, peace talks are now nuunder way. also, bahrain joins the united arab emirates for a peace deal. howl the deal is part of donald trump's hopes for peace in the middle east. we'll have a live report from israel.

for the second time in a month, an arab gulf nation has agreed to normalize ties with israel. bahrain and israel are set to establish full diplomatic relations. u.s. president trump helped to broker the deal and he promises more to come. let's go to oren liebermann who is following these developments from jerusalem. talk about thebreakthrough and what it means to the region. >> reporter: are we at a break yet? i can't hear anything. >> you can hear me? >> reporter: prime minister benjamin netanyahu, certainly, the timing can't be overlooked in this case because trump, of

course, is just two months before an election in which he is behind in the polls. that means the white house ceremony on tuesday will have four countries, united states and israel and united arab embratz and bahrain. what is behind bahrain, which you asked which country is close toast israel behind the scenes, bahrain would have been at the top of most people's list. but the expectation is is that the bahrainians would never have moved without saudi arabia. right now, saudi arabia and israel have no diplomatic relations. but it certainly raises possibility that the saudis gave tacit consent. either trump wins the election and off to a great start. or it's an biden administration and off to a good start as well. with the technology, there is a large u.s. military presence in bahrain as there is in the

united emirates, as far as tourism, finance and health. bahrain stands to gain from this. and it raises an interesting question what the saudi position is do they follow suit or do they wait for some movement on the palestinian improvement, a resolution. that's what king salman implied when he spoke with president trump recently. for king sal mman, the institutn is historically important. >> all right. oren liebermann there in jerusalem. thank you so much, oren. we'll take a break. we'll be right back. never settle for 25%. always go for 100. bring out the bold™ and all the moments you haven't "hi" love, can't wait -"got the ring!" -"yes!"

and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world, i'm natalie allen. you are watching "cnn newsroom." it is hard to believe that when we started 2020, coronavirus was barely a murmur. and the idea of social distancing, wearing masks, going into lockdowns were alien to most of us. now, these things are the new normal. especially after the virus spread rapidly from early march. cnn's tom foreman looks back at what has happened in the six months since. >> reporter: the nba calls it time-out. >> this game has officially been postponed. >> reporter: actor tom hanks and his wife say they have the virus. a worldwide pandemic has been declared and president trump announces limits on travel from europe. >> smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow. >> reporter: march 11th was a trifecta of very bad news. >> up until that point, the

threat of coronavirus affecting people's lives and/or livelihoods seems maybe relatively remote. it was something that was happening in distant lands to foreign people. not here in the united states. at least not that we were aware of. >> reporter: as casualties mounted some hospitals were overwhelmed. too many patients, not enough supplies. >> we're being told to reuse our masks. that is an official policy now that we're being told to use one mask for five days. >> reporter: food lines formed as panicked buying emptied some shelves. more than 20 million jobs disappeared. only about half have come back, even as the president has pushed the country to reopen. >> will some people be affected? yes, will some people be affected badly? yes. but we have to get our country open and we have to get it open soon. >> he had a crown jewel of achievement in his mind which was the all-time high of the stock market. and he was afraid that it would plummet, that it would crash.

that unemployment would become high. he was trying to become a savior of the economy and not a savior of lives. >> reporter: the president has been punctured by falsehood -- >> i think we have the lowest -- >> no, sir. >> reporter:disinfectant. >> reporter: and new nuewly released recording from journalist bob woodward shows trump now how danger as you it was. >> i still like playing it down because i don't want to create a panic. >> reporter: all the while the number of infections and fatalities have climbed so sharply that the number equal to tallahassee, florida. baseball hall of famer, tom seaver. chef floyd cardos.

cnn has more with matthew chance in moscow. >> reporter: a major deal for russia to supply india with millions of doses of its sputnik vaccine, sources telling cnn they expect the deals to emerge early next week that would involve tens of millions of doses of vaccine. india's, of course, experiencing a surge in covid-19 infections. a new global record, up 95,000 cases in a single day. russia's vaccine is a controversial one, not only because it was developed at breakneck speed. becoming the first vaccine approved by any government, even before critical phase 3 human trials have been completed. russian doctors say their vaccines which uses viruses subpoena as the common cold are much safer than experimental methods developed elsewhere. in the past few days, there's

been a slew in brazil ordering the vaccine. mexico agreeing to take 32 million doses. russian officials say dozens of countries around the world are now looking at ordering their vaccine as port of a portfolio of measures to contain the covid-19 pandemic. matthew chance, cnn, moscow. if and when coronavirus vaccines become available, many people may not trust them enough to take them. that's what a study published thursday in the medical journal "the lancet" suggests. researchers surveyed 300,000 people around the world from 2015 to 2019, that would be pre-covid. and asked if they felt comfortable taking any vaccines. take a look at this map and shows where things stood in 2018. dark blue means that most of the country felt that vaccines are safe. but deep orange indicates that fewer than one-third of the

country's residents thought so. we're joined by heidi larson who directed that research. she's the director of the vaccine confidence project. and a professor of anthropology risk and decision science. she's also the author of "stuck: how vaccine rumors start and why they don't go away." professor larson comes to us from london. welcome, professor. thanks for coming on. >> thanks, good morning. >> first of all, at a time when the world is racing towards a vaccine for covid, this study found there are many hesitancy hot spots that could undermine this. where are the hot spots and what are the underlying causes? >> well, the hot spots are one of the things we found in the paper that we've been monitoring that's in confidence and continue to, is it's very up and down. so it needs constant nurturing and attention. europe remains one of the more

skeptical regions in the world. which although it's better than it was about five years ago, and that's because they have seen how low it was getting and what bad measles outbreaks were happening across the region here in europe. that there has been an effort made. so, it is coming up a bit, but it's still quite low. pockets in the u.s., we have a few countries, certainly, countries in conflict with high security issues. but one of the things we find is it's not just about trust in the vaccine, it's about risk and who's providing it. and with the acute polarization and if a vaccine comes from another political party, or a western government, that you don't trust, or your own government that you don't trust, those are some of the drivers that are at risk here. from the public perspective, the hype about a fast vaccine may be

great for politicians and may even feel good for some of the scientists in the race, as it were. but for the public, it's a very uncomfortable cokfrcomfortable they're getting raced, they're quicker. maybe share missing their safety regulationse regulations. so that certainly inhibited people from the h 2 n 1 vaccine. >> how hard will it be to end this pandemic if some countries don't support it? doesn't the world need to come together on this? >> absolutely. the world needs to come together on it. and also, we can already see that people are wearing thin with collaboration, cooperation with masks and distancing. people are worn. and you would think they would want to leap into something like a vaccine that would, in a

sense, liberate you from some of these other restrictions. but for some members of the public, even the vaccine is something imposed by government. so we'll have some resistance there. but i do think we have a huge opportunity, with -- when and hopefully, if we get a covid vaccine, if we can make sure that it is -- we already work with employers, we other -- with schools, with others around this vaccine. well beyond health departments. this needs an all of society approach to prepare for. and encourage acceptance of a new vaccine. once we have one that we we are confident is safe and effective. >> you talk about encouraging change. you know, so many people are skeptical for a myriad of reasons, depending on their culture and society and the

politics there. how do you go about combatting that and trying to alter that? >> yeah, it's all -- it's tough for an immunization program or health department, because so many of the factors that influence confidence are outside of health departments. but i think given the state of things right now, we need to start local. i mean, the more local engagement can happen, the more specific interactions and efforts are made. i don't think we can wait for the top to embrace this in ways and in fact the publics are very -- not necessarily confident with the direction coming from central government in a number of countries. so, i think local efforts will be crucial. mayors, other community leaders. even religious leaders, frankly. they've been quite interestingly one of the more cooperative in,

you know, shutting down religious gatherings. coming up alternative online options. obviously, vaccines is not something we can do online. so i think we also need to start public discussions and engagement on community on what advice they give. what would be convenient for them to get a vaccine. what time of day. you know, we want to understand and make people feel like they've been consulted in this process. >> very good advice. and i hope it comes around at some point. thank you so much, we appreciate your time and expertise on this. peace talks between the taliban and the afghan government are under way right now in doha, qatar. secretary of state mike pompeo is also there to support the process. the u.s. is drawing down troops in afghanistan with the goal of

being out of that country by next april. cnn's sam kiley joins me now from abu dhabi. there have been talks before. things have gotten close before. where do you see things, this time around, sam? >> reporter: well, what is signature here, natalie, there have been talks before between the taliban and the united states. and there have been talks obviously between the united states and the afghan government. but this is the first time we've seen the afghan government and the taliban agree to talk. they've both insisted from both sides that these talks would be unmediated. that they would have themselves only afghans in the room when the talks get seriously under way. there is pressure from the americans to get this sorted out before the election so that they can make good on the trump administration's promise to reduce troops from 8,600 to 405,000 by the fall. the afghans are aware that the

stakes are higher from a foreign policy win for the trump administration. that this is all about trying to de-escalate a war which is certainly since 9/11, 19 years and a day, since that fateful terrorist attack in new york and elsewhere precipitated the ultimate demise of the taliban. but the taliban are saying, interestingly not at the moment, using language that would commit a future dispensation there to a so-called emmeret of afghanistan. saying they would favor an islamic system. from the afghan perspective, the leader of that delegation calling for immediate cease-fire as a sign of goodwill for these talks to move forward. so, there is a sense on both sides that they clearly, in terms of their public rhetoric, want to come to a deal at which they would be able to end what

until afghanistan has been actually 40 years of civil war. but from the american perspective, there is a much quicker time clock ticking. natalie. >> all right. we'll see what happens there. we know you'll be following it for us. thank you, sam kiley in abu dhabi. we have just learned of a devastating mining accident in the democratic republic of congo officials say 52 miners' bodies have been recovered from a flooded mine. causing a nearby river to overflow, that sent tons of water and sand into the mind and caused it to collapse. as many as 100 miners were underground at the time. absentee ballots are now being mailed out in one key battleground state in the u.s. just what's the mood of voters in north carolina? well, we went there to find out. we'll have that for you in a moment. also, tensions are high after the four officers charged
