organization reports another disturbing record in the coronavirus pandemic as countries around the world are being forced back into lockdown. almost 200,000 american lives have been lost to the virus, but nothing gets between donald trump and a good rally. this time the president brought thousands of his supporters indoors. and renowned author and journalist bob woodward is speaking out for the first time since the release of his explosive recordings of the u.s. president. hear what he has to say about the way donald trump is running the country. and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states, canada and all around the world live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. i'm paula newton, and you're watching cnn newsroom. so, in the coming hours, u.s.

president donald trump meets with officials in california on those wildfires now engulfing large parts of the western united states. now, nearly 100 fires are burning at this hour right across more than 4 1/2 million acres. that's nearly 2 million hectares, more than 30,000 firefighters are now on the front lines of that fire. those fires have killed at least 33 people, with dozens still missing. and they are posing yet another danger to millions more people. thick smoke is making it very tough to breathe in so many cities and towns up and down the western coast line. now, these fires have scorched a record amount of land and were just in start of peak fire season. think of that. cnn's paul vercammen is in southern california where tensions are high and resources stretched incredibly thin. >> reporter: the foothills northeast of los angeles,

arcadia, this ised bobcat fire. it's burned 33,000 acres. if you look behind me they're trying to douse these flames with water drops from helicopters. the air is so bad, not only is it unhealthy beyond belief, polluted up and down the west coast, but they can't fly the retardant dropping planes or the super scoopers from canada that can drop huge volumes is of water and reload with water from the reservoir, ocean or river. so they are going to make a stand right here because this is the most important flank of the bobcat fire and they're also asking for some mandatory evacuations in these neighborhoods. and here's why. they want to be able to move fire equipment, especially engines up and down the streets, and neighbors seem to understand this. >> we are obviously not under the mandatory evacuation order. >> i understand why they do that. they just don't want people in the way when the power goes off or they have to shut off the gas. you don't really want to be at your house any ways. >> reporter: and on these western wildfires, 30,000

firefighters spread out to battle these blazes. normally they have quite a few more firefighters on each of these lines, but there's so many of these fires burning at once, some hundred major fires right now, they say the system is just taxed and they have to spread things out, marshal their resources carefully and do the best they can. so right now here in the foothills of los angeles, this fire has been burning for more than a week. residents say in some ways they feel helpless, but they're grateful for the job that the firefighters are doing to keep this out of their neighborhoods. reporting from arcadia, i'm paul vercammen. now back to you. >> meantime, we move to oregon and where more than 1 million acres have been burning and it's feared that many of the missing people there have died. now, you can see here, the smoke is just incredible. look how thick that is. authorities in oregon have also had to deal with online rumors debunked now by the fbi that extremists are starting the

fires. and they also say that now some people are patrolling with guns to try and protect property in those areas that have been evacuated. i want to go now to oregon. sheriff craig roberts joins us on what has been an incredibly busy day for you. 24 hours on from things looked pretty dire. have you had improving conditions, especially when it comes to trying to get relief to those hard-hit areas? >> yes, absolutely. the conditions have improved dramatically. we're seeing that the weather has been in our benefit, and for the first time we've really -- changed some of the evacuation areas that we originally moved out. as you probably heard, we're looking at 170,000 acres that have been burning in our county. over 100,000 people that were on the edge of being evacuated or

some form notified that we need them to leave. when it came down to it, there was really about 52,000 people that we need to evacuate, and i would say that we're really positive looking at the weather conditions and some of the fire conditions that are improving. >> yeah, which is obviously good news. but this is going to go on for some days, weeks and months in terms of trying to get the community back on its feet, right? >> absolutely. one of the things i really want to highlight is the type 1 fire overhead team that came in, federal team that has just been amazing to have this expertise and talent, from meteorologists to fire behavior experts that are really doing a great line, helping make sure that we're responding in the most efficient way we can to keep our citizens safe in our county. so a big thanks to those folks. >> yeah, and it's so important, isn't it, because they're saving

whole communities. unfortunately, you've already lost a couple communities you haven't been able to get into because of that smoke. i want to ask you about something else that's completely unfortunate. those online rumors, we've been hearing about them. what was so stunning to so many people was it was actually affecting operation, right? crucial operations like 911. >> yeah, we -- just to give you some ideas, we probably had just in a short period of time over 400 calls for service in the fire-affected areas that had been evacuated. and the one thing i want to make perfectly clear, that the majority of those are really determined to be unfounded. so many of the calls that were getting in here are suspicious in nature, but when we really get the front line folks on it, we're determining, hey, we're just checking on our neighbors' place. we have made some arrests, but the scope of the land mass that we're looking at, very minor compared to the entire area we're looking at.

>> understood. but the issue is here, disinformation really -- online and otherwise -- didn't make your job any easier. >> it did not make our job any easier. and we're really -- there is a lot of rumors out there, and we're really trying to put an end to those. i can tell you we do have some citizens in the area that are trying to protect their property and the neighbors, we encourage those folks to really not engage people in the area, to leave it up to law enforcement to give us a call. and if they need any assistance, call 911 and we'll be there. >> sheriff craig roberts, best of luck to you and all the communities. and thanks for joining us for the update. boy, it's a long day and i'm sure it's going to get longer. appreciate your time. >> thank you very much. >> meteorologist pedram javaheri is watching the fire conditions, and you're keeping an eye on a tropical storm as well. sally in the gulf of mexico, but i want to go first to those improving weather conditions, right, that have really helped a

lot in the last 24 hours. >> absolutely. the wind is going to begin to shift and at least some rain in the forecast, too, paula. that's the excellent news moving forward. unfortunately we have a few days to get a decent amount of rain in here. we think thursday, friday across the western u.s. you'll notice, of course, a large area of coverage, 800 mile stretch of land from california to the southern border where they have thermal signatures in place for fire activity. of course, all of this has really hampered the air quality to the point where the unhealthiest air on our planet at this hour just checked in with the u.s. embassy in new delhi, india, where you can almost always count on poor air quality. the air quality in downtown seattle at this hour is considerably cleaner in what's happening in the streets of new delhi or beijing, china. the particulate matter, combustion matter in fires itself, 2.5 microns in diameter, which is roughly 25 times smaller than the diameter of an average human hair.

you put that in place, of course, very, very small amount that could get into your respiratory system and cause major issues when it's a long-term event. and it's slowly getting there for a lot of people. a forecast like this is promising, but late in the week is the best bet, say thursday, friday for some of this rainfall to move through. they don't have to wait that long across the gulf coast. the big bend of florida, this is tropical storm sally. everything in place here for the storm system to be a significant player within the next 24 to 36 hours. and the concern with this storm, paula, is it literally puts on the parking brakes by this time tomorrow. as it approaches land on monday evening, we think it will slow down almost to a complete halt here. storm surge levels could be as high as 11 feet which would be above the first story of many homes along the coast of southeastern louisiana. into portions of coastal mississippi. from monday into tuesday, the storm system may move saw 15 to 25 miles. if that's the case, this will put down at least 15 to 20 inches which is going to be a

major problem. and rarely do we see the white contours east of new orleans. kind of in the area of the second end of new orleans there. you'll see some of the white contours. that's indicative of over 20 inches of rainfall, paula, in a matter of, say, 1 1/2 to two days. that's an incredible amount of water coming down across these areas. >> pedram, we're measuring water in feet. how incredible is that? and keep in mind the people of louisiana haven't recovered from the last storm. thank you for the updates on both systems in the united states. now, results from the coronavirus vaccine could come as early as next month. coming up, the push for more diversity to be assured that the vaccine is safe and effective. after being a part of millions of love stories,

children's ward in the main hospital in the north of yemen, anxious mothers vie for attention as the doctor does his rounds. this little girl is named hafsa. the mother tells the doctor she has five brothers all malnourished. she is the only one they can afford the medicine for. this mother of an 8 month old tells the doctor her little boy can no longer lift up his head. he's too weak. his little belly is painfully swollen, a telltale sign of acute malnutrition. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: rows and rows of hungry children. their bodies so stripped of fat that every move is agony.

hard to believe, but these are the lucky ones. these are the children whose parents can afford the car journey to the hospital. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: even for yemen, this is not the norm. every day brings dozens more patients. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: and more death. this patient died this week, a 1-year-old called fatma. it's very hard to keep track of exact figures for child death because so many of the children don't even make it to the hospital. all the doctor knows is that

things are getting worse. [ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: why is that? that lack of funding he was talking about. 80% of the 30 million population in yemen is reliant on aid. the majority of whom live in the houthi-controlled north. the houthis seeking to control the flow of aid place restrictions on u.n. agencies in areas under their control. in march, the u.s. suspended much of its aid to the north, citing concerns over houthi misappropriations. two of the key donors, united arab emirates and saudi arabia, have also drawn down. the u.s., uae and saudi arabia have all slashed their yemen aid spend. the u.s. spend dropping from

almost a billion to $411 million. saudi from over a billion to half that, with only 22 million actually received. the uae has given $0 to the u.n.'s 2020 yemen appeal. cnn was able to obtain access to a confidential internal u.n. briefing document. u.n. agencies have confirmed to us its contents. in the aftermath of the drop in foreign aid, the u.n. has shuttered almost 75% of its programs. in previous cnn investigations, we traced serial numbers back to arms deals between saudi arabia, the uae and the u.s. proving the u.s. government has profited from the chaos of the war in yemen. and aid agencies tell us the aid draw down threatens to wreak even more havoc.

[ speaking foreign language ] >> reporter: the aid suspension has driven the people of the houthi-controlled north into deeper isolation. yemen's north could already be in famine and we might not even know it. cnn, lone.

london. >> cnn has received responses to our reporting from saudi arabia, the united states and the united arab emirates. the saudi foreign ministry says it is providing nearly 77 million to yemen this year and told cnn they intend to meet their full commitment. but the delay in disbursing their pledged aid is based on a request from the united nations to have the alleged amount be paid in one up-front payment to each individual u.n. agency. the united states aid organization, us aid points the blame firmly to the houthis for obstructing aid distribution in the north, but say they continue to support countrywide u.n. operations and some of our ngo lifesaving activities in the north. and they say they are, by far, the largest donor of humanitarian response to yemen this year. and the united arab emirates told cnn it was the first country to respond to the

coronavirus outbreak in yemen and is one of the largest donors of humanitarian aid to yemen with more than $6 billion provided from 2015 until the end of august this year, 2020. all three reiterated their concerns over alleged houthi misappropriation of aid. and we will be right back in a moment. with the ww app, our weight loss program is easier. the personalized recipes are really great. it's super family friendly. the program does feel really easy with all of the app features, it's the reason i'm down 91 pounds! join for free and get three months free. hurry, offer ends september 14th. and all the moments you haven't "hi" love, can't wait -"got the ring!" -"yes!" and with jared it doesn't have to ♪ -always have been. -and always will be. never letting anything get in my way.

and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm paula newton, and you're watching "cnn newsroom." now, with nearly 200,000 americans dead from coronavirus,

president trump has held yet another indoor campaign event. just a few hours ago he rallied thousands of supporters in henderson, nevada, outside los angeles -- pardon me, las vegas, ignoring warnings about social distancing. but here's the thing. he's also violating the state's ban on gatherings of 50 people or more. many in the crowd, as you can see for yourself, not wearing any masks and certainly not social distancing. a cnn medical analyst predicts people will die as a consequence of the gathering. now, the trump camp's last indoor rally back in june led to a surge in local virus cases. now, in the coming week, the u.s. political environment really starts to get down to crunch time. early voting in the presidential election begins in four states, and president trump's overall approval rating at this moment, according to some polls, is still stuck in the low 40s, hurt in large part by his handling of

the coronavirus pandemic. now, a new poll from abc news shows just more than a third of americans actually approve of how he's managed the u.s. response to the pandemic. a full 65% disapprove. now, adding to the outrage, the recent revelation by journalist bob woodward that the president was warned in late january, so long ago, about just how deadly this virus was, but chose instead to downplay the threat. in an interview with "60 minutes," woodward was asked if mr. trump splapd why explained decided ton tell the public just exactly what was at stake. >> i think he did not understand the american public. and he said, well, i don't want to create a panic. we know from history when the public is told the truth, they organize. we have a problem. we're going to step up.

and trump thought, oh, well, they'll panic when there's a crisis. when the president particularly knows something, it's time to tell the public in some form. he failed. >> you write in the book that the president's handling of the virus reflects his instincts, habits, and style. what are those? >> denial, making up his own facts. >> okay. bob woodward's book "rage" releases tuesday. pfizer says it could know whether its covid-19 vaccine is effective by the end of thekt month. the american company is working with german partner bion tech. they're asking the food and drug administration to be allowed to increase the number of participants. that's in order to get more diversity in those all-important clinical trials.

>> now, base case we have quite a good chance, more than 60%. but we will know if the product works or not by the end of october. of course, that doesn't mean that it works. it means that we will know if it works. i don't know if they have to wait until 2021. our studies, we have a good chance we will know if the product works by the end of october, and of course it is regulators job to issue license or not. >> the need for diversity is critical because people of color are at greater risk of getting sick and dying from the virus. america's top disease expert dr. fauci, said 27% should be black and 37% should be latino. the enrollments in key studies fall short of that. moderna show 11% of volunteers are black and 22% latino.

as of last month, 8% of pfizer's volunteers were black and 11% were latino. michael is a 65-year-old retiree and he was one of the first to sign up for the moderna trial at the university of colorado. he joins us now from denver. not an exaggeration to say you are one courageous man. and obviously we've just spelled out, you know, how significant your participation is here. i want to ask you, first, what was it like to get these shots and how many have you had? >> well, it was pretty straightforward. i had one and -- on august 20th. i'm scheduled to get my second shot this thursday. and i'm in the moderna study. and after i did some research on moderna, i found they were not actually using any of the virus

protein. they actually have your body generate the virus protein, and then the antibodies. so i felt it was pretty safe. >> you're right that each vaccine here, a lot of them, more than 100 of them under research, each of them works in a different way. did you feel anything after that shot? >> four hours after my first shot i felt a little nauseated. i had some muscle aches and body aches. but by the next morning, i was in perfect health. >> do you feel as if somehow, you know, in terms of your risk level, are you doing anything differently right now just because you have had the shot? >> no. i'm still going to the gym, which i was doing before i got the shot. and as we know gyms are high risk, but i talk all the precautions necessary to protect myself. >> understood. how do you feel about what we

just explained there about the issue of diversity? i mean, you know your community has been one of the hardest hit in the united states for sure, but a lot of data coming from all over the world shows that those communities, communities of color are disproportionately affected. how do you feel about being able to volunteer in that context? >> i think it's crucial that african americans and any other minorities volunteer so that people can see we are taking part in the testing, the trials. >> it is very important for the research and important that people have confidence when there is a vaccine. i didn't exaggerate, it is a vaj us move and we applaud you and hope you stay well and safe. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> now, just minutes from now, japan's ruling party will choose a new leader who is expected to become the country's next prime

minister. long-time leader shinzo abe is stepping down due to poor health. our will ripley is covering the imminent vote. there isn't much suspense to how this will go. set me straight on that if i'm wrong. but what's at stake here as japan really begins a new political chapter? >> reporter: technically there are three contenders, but political analysts overwhelmingly are expecting that the chief cabinet secretary yoshitsu suga who has been abe's right hand man, eight years. obviously the longest serving prime minister. suga is expected to be the new ldp leader, liberal democratic party. on wednesday the ldp leader is expected to be voted in as the prime minister because he holds a majority in the parliament. that's how it works technically. suga's story is interesting. he is a familiar face, covering japanese politics the four plus years i lived in tokyo. even from here in hong kong.

he's a familiar face. he gives a lot of press conferences. he knows the job in and out probably better than the prime minister himself. it's often been said the chief cabinet secretary who is basically, you know, right alongside the prime minister, almost like a combination of the chief of staff and press secretary, this person knows exactly what needs to be done in terms of the technicalities of the job. now, what suga does not have that abe had is this kind of star power. abe was a third generation prime minister. he comes from a political dynasty. he was almost -- his pedigree was essentially, he was made for the job of japanese prime minister. he has been tremendously successful on many fronts and has been unsuccessful on others. his disapproval ratings are low, th though they raised when he announced his retirement. abe has been accused of being out of touch. he's been accused of acting too slowly, trying to save his crown jewel, the olympics and not

acting quickly enough to ensure that japanese jobs and japanese lives would be protected from this pandemic. and so the new prime minister is going to have to face a long list of challenges from the economy to the pandemic to the olympics. and while suga has a lot of experience with domestic politics, he's not experienced on a global stage, paula, so he will have some growing to do if, indeed, he is the one who is chosen. >> absolutely a good point. many people in japan trying to get to know the person who is likely to become the prime minister. will, thanks so much for keeping an eye on it for us. appreciate it. time is running out on president trump's threats on the video sharing app tiktok. the latest development in the talks to celtic tok's u.s. operations. glycolic acid. revitalift 10 percent glycolic acid serum. with our highest concentration of glycolic acid. resurfaces skin to visibly reduce dark spots and wrinkles. revitalift glycolic acid serum from l'oréal.

tiktok and oracle will become business partners in the u.s. though the exact nature of the agreement is still unclear.

that word came sunday just after microsoft announced it would not buy tiktok's u.s. operations from its chinese owner. lena wang joins us from china. the big question i have, salina, does this satisfy what the trump administration wanted, and they want tiktok to be in u.s. hands? >> reporter: well, paula, there's a lot more to this deal than just appeasing the trump side, but it is worth noting here that larry ellison and oracle, this is one of the few technology silicon valley companies that have publicly supported trump. founder larry ellison hosted a fund-raiser for trump this year. its c.e.o. served on trump's transition team. it's been intensely lobbying the white house, and it does come as a surprise to many who really saw microsoft as a more logical buyer. if has deeper pockets than oracle, it has more expertise when it comes to consumer technology -- expertise. now, trump has claimed this app

serves as a threat to national security, something that tiktok and bite dance has denied. this deal would need to be passed by the committee on foreign investments in the u.s. experts have told me that might mean bite dance needs to agree to a variety of different constraints in order to satisfy those concerns, so it means bite dance may be able to keep a seat on the board of tiktok. it may maintain some shares, a bit of control, but that there will be a sort of firewall placed between bite dance and tiktok, especially when it comes to areas of national security concerns. as you mentioned, we don't know exactly how this deal would be structured, but a source told me that they would be seen more as business partners rather than oracle serving as a parent company with full control over tiktok. but the trump side is one thing. there's also the chinese side that would need to agree to this. china recently updated its export rules which would essentially mean in order for this deal to be successful, they would need to get the blessing of the chinese government, and it's unclear if this matches up

to those concerns. but a source did tell me that if bite dance -- if oracle ends up working with venture capitalists that already have a stake in bite dance, that could increase the chances of the chinese government approving this since it would diffuse the ownership. >> so much to get through here still, so complicated. we'll learn more in the coming hours. thank you for taking us through it. appreciate it. and i want to thank all of you for joining us. for our international viewers, sport is next. if you're joining us in the united states, i'll be back with more news in a moment.

the world health organization has just reported the highest single-day number of coronavirus cases since the pandemic began. that was nearly 308,000 new cases on sunday. now, it broke the daily record set last weekend by more than a thousand cases. new infections are spiking throughout europe as well. the czech republic also setting a single-day record for the third day in a row. the country recorded more than 1500 new cases on sunday. now, in the meantime, new limits on social gatherings go into effect in england today, banning
