in the east of the country warning that those who stay behind are at mercy of russia's aggression. and the race to stop the spread of monkeypox as cases and deaths rise around the world, fears that containment will be a massive challenge. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" can kim br brun brunhuber. we begin in eastern kentucky and another day of devastating discoveries and heartbreaking loss. this is the aftermath of horrific flash flooding where at least 25 people are confirmed dead. a local mayor called it just the tip of the iceberg. we'll get an update in the coming hours. floodwaters have washed away roads, destroyed bridges and making ongoing search and rescue efforts for the scores of missing harder.

governor beshear says damages could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars and emotional toll is immeasurable. many are still coming to grips with the loss. >> honestly, there is nothing that anyone can do or say to prepare anyone for something like this. no one -- noti knowing how bad t will get. >> there are six, seven that died and i have a 9-year-old boy. and if i would have lost him, that would have been over. >> sorry. >> you made it, that is all that matters. >> yeah, you made it. >> for many in eastern kentucky the situation is obviously very dire. the mayor of hazard says the local water treatment plant is completely off line in an area that serves thousands of people.

>> main problem is, you know, the infrastructure, our water infrastructure system has gone down. i mean, it washed away, the plant's broken down, we have no water. we really don't have any water coming out of our plant to go to any house in perry county and we're all relying on bottled water and it is being just whoever can bring us bottled water, that is what we're distributing to 25,000 to 29,000 residents. >> for too many residents of eastern kentucky, the true scale of their loss is becoming heartbreakingly real. evan santoro has the story. >> reporter: when the flash flood came to this part of kentucky, locals watched houses, cars, their lives get submerged by water wondering just what kind of damage would be done. now that those waters have receded, they are getting a chance to see it. a huge swathe of destruction across many counties in this area, and crews still going out

trying to find people who may be trapped in their homes, many who perished when the waters came through. one local here described the impact on this area of these floods. >> thinking about all the devastation that i've seen all over the county, there are this some things that can't be rebuilt. these people, their water had got in homes that had never been concerned with water issues. now their homes are gone. where are all these people going to go? where are they going to live? if they don't have a family member that they can go to. >> reporter: here in jackson, crews are staging from this shopping center parking lot, going out and trying to find people amongst the destruction. people say it will be a long time before this place recovers at all and it will need a lot of help to get there. evan mcmorris-santoro, cnn,

jackson, kentucky. for more, let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. derek, unfortunately, it is not over yet. >> yeah, a difficult situation looks like it may get harder to deal with, with more flooding on the way, at least the potential. certainly heavy rain coming. and you know what, after the rain subsides, then the heat starts to settle in across these areas as well. i'll highlight that in this update. national weather service has issued a flood watch across the areas hardest hit by the recent flooding. current radar all generally quiet aside from a few light showers. there is heavier thunderstorms moving through the louisville region at the moment, but there is more precipitation on the way as a stalled out frontal boundary kind of settles in, meanders across the region and it will send pulses of moisture across the tennessee river valley. so this particular area highlighted in the shade of yellow, this is the weather

prediction's flash flood threat, a slight risk for today through monday morning for these locations. not just southern kentucky, but also into tennessee, west virginia as well as virginia and north carolina. look at the forecast radar going forward. you will see a gradual uptick through the course of the day, heating of the day, we see the thunderstorms become more numerous across southeastern portions of kentucky, the areas that have been most impacted by the flooding. remember the ground is extremely saturated. it won't take much to produce additional small urban flooding within also a across the small streams, rivers. and some of the local municipalities across the area. look at the projected forecast rainfall totals, 1 to 3 inches locally in and around perry county. this is the area that was again hardest hit by some of the flooding. but of course some of those numbers could be higher as well depending on if the thunderstorms move over the same location for longer duration of time. national weather service talking about some of the discussions i've read thunderstorms that

will form today have the ability to produce 1 to 2 inch rainfall totals per hour. so once the rain starts to recede on monday into tuesday, then the heat starts to settle in and they will have to deal with heat indices in the upper 90s. so very sweltering forecast to say the least coming up. kim. >> yeah, compounding the problems. derek van dam, thanks so much. earlier i spoke to kentuckian zach cottle who has been doing his part to help his community and he explained how he was out there helping and the challenges he faced rescuing others. here he is. >> i've been trying to help just donate within my community, i've been donating many supplies, water, food items, items for an animals. just anything that i can to all the different families here and all around the county, going around making sure that everyone is safe and accounted for.

>> and you have a boat, is that right, you've been out on the water trying to help folks? >> yes, there are several different boats, jet skis, and i've used all four of my kayaks that my family owns. everyone has been out on those. some rescuers are still out on boats in some areas trying to get people out. >> i mean, describe what you are seeing out there, the conditions, and what is making it such a challenge to try to find and rescue people. >> yeah, it is complete devastation. our entire region has been hit insanely hard. it is something that you never would have thought would have happened and now in the blink of an eye everything is just gone. >> our thanks to zach for joining us earlier. and if you would like to safely and securely help people affected by the floods who may

ukrainian forces have jerusale just in the words of a pro-russian official rained on the parade. they hit the black sea fleet and five people were injured. the attack happened while russian forces were celebrating their navy day holiday. but after the strike the official said the rest of the celebrations were canceled. and ukraine is ordering civilians in the donetsk area to get out. president zelenskyy says hundreds of thousand of people are still in the region which is in the crosshairs of the main russian offensive and he said the goal is to save lives. here he is. prosecutor there is already a

governmental decision about obligatory evacuation. everything is deemed organized. bothgilogistical. please follow evacuation. we will help you. we are not russia. well will do everything possible to save the maximum number of human lives and to maximally limit russian terror. >> and in the south the russian artillery rained down over the past 24 hours killing one and leaving six injured. they have been taking russian fire almost every day the past month including an attack on a bus stop where the death toll has now climbed to seven people. and jason carroll is monitoring developments in kyiv, but first let's go to nic robertson live in mykolaiv. where you are, it has been pounded by russian shelling, the mayor calling it the worst they

have seen. what is the latest there? >> reporter: yeah, western ar we were around talking to people and residents have been telling us that as well, this is the heaviest shelling that they have endured since the war agbegan. around 1:00 a.m., we could hear a number of impacts in the city, clustered munitions going off, heavy strikes. and around 5:00 a.m. some of the heaviest strikes were heard enough to rattle the windows of the building that we were in. and going out right after that to -- or shortly after that, i should say, to take a look at the impact sites, we found one residential house where rescue workers were still trying to get out. the man and woman, husband and wife, believed to be in the building, neighbors we spoke to there told us that they have been awoken by the noise at about 5:00 in the morning, had

gone to their neighbor's house, a large mansion, to try to help get him and his wife out. as far as we could understand from rescue workers, the couple was still believed trapped in the rubble. the neighbors thought that they were in the basement of the building. that situation, that rescue situation, still seems to be ongoing at the moment. what we're hearing from city officials, they can confirm today from the overnight shelling one person dead, two injured. a number of schools hit, a hotel hit, a sports facility hit. a residential building hit. and we were able to see one of the krartscraters of the imposs close to that house. and that crater was huge. for me to stand in it, it was way over the top of my head and several meters across. so very big munitions falling on

the city and talking to the immediate neighbors there, i asked them what they were going to do. one man said we just have to repair our house, we don't know what we'll do it with, we need to get some plastic on, wood on, windows are blown out. and another neighbor told me i've already moved my wife and children out of the city, i may myself move out. the mood of other residents, others have told us, as well it was troubling, it was a bad night for them, they said not a lot of sleep. but they were intent on staying here. >> you paint a dramatic picture of the devastation and damage caused by all that shelling. really appreciate your reporting there, nic robertson in mykolaiv. and now to jason carroll in kyiv. i want to go back to president zelenskyy's calls to evacuate donetsk, a huge undertaking. so walk us through what is behind it and how it would work. >> reporter: and it will be a huge undertaking as you say and

they have seen some fierce fighting there in the east. but this is really more about what is to come. this is why this order, this evacuation order, coming out now, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the region, tens of thousands of children, this evacuation order especially going out to those who have children or know people who have children are urging them to get those children, those families out now while they still have time. the reason for that, reason why i say for what is to come, it is the colder frigid temperatures, there will be no gas likely, likely no electricity, programs trouble getting access to clean water. so this is the reason why this evacuation order going out now.. so this is the reason why this evacuation order going out now. hundreds of thousands need to get out and that will take time. so the ukrainian government saying now is the time to get out before things get worse. >> appreciate that, thanks so much jason carroll live for us in kyiv. and thanks as well to nic

robertson in mykolaiv. russian president vladimir putin is in st. peters bmarking his country's navy day. ships, troops and aircraft will be on display as the day goes on and putin is set to give a speech and attend other events. the russian leader has compared himself to peter the great as he tries to justify his war in ukraine. russia's state-owned energy company gazprom says it is cutting off gas supplies to lat fee a. gazprom accuses the country of violating conditions but it has been scant on details. moscow has cut off gas to eu countries in the past when they refuse to pay in rubles. latvian officials are down playing the impact saying that they were able to cut off off russian gas imports next year. and with some exemptions, the eu has agreed to reduce

natural gas demand by 15% this winter and germany has declared a gas crisis as russia has local governments trying to save as much energy as possible. in the capital berlin, they are switching off or dimming the lights of some 200 buildings including landmarks like the city's victory column. in iraq, sections of parliament are suspended until further notice after thousands stormed the green zone twice in one week. have a look. [ chanting ] >> this was on saturday. protestors are angry that one of his rivals has been nominated as prime minister. >> translator: there were 18 years should have been enough to resolve what they spoiled. we will not keep recycling trash and people are using their voices to say no to forming a corrupt government by replacing one face with another face. we oppose everyone.

this group is not demanding to form a government and if they wanted to form a government, twhee they would have aligned themselves with authority. we do not agree on trash returning again. they have destroyed the people. >> and those protestors are still occupying the parliament building today. iraq has been gripped by political uncertainty for months. and nada bashir is following the latest developments from istanbul. so there have been calls for deescalation and peaceful dialogue. any signs anyone is listening? >> reporter: well, kim, at this point we are still seeing protestors occupying the parliament building, this is after they breached the green zone yesterday. thousands of protestors, many of them loyalists to the shiite cleric. we saw the protests on wednesday, that was the first in the series of demonstrationses that we've seen, the largest

that baghdad has seen since october. and this follows months and months of political stagnation. there is a real sense of frustration amongst these demonstrations. most of them loyalists. and we spoke to some of them on the ground, many of them expressing distrust in the entire political system and a real sense of anger over the stagnation we've seen and deadlock in government over these last few months. iraq facing severe economic crisis, rising food crisis, and of course high unemployment rates. so there is a real sense of frustration there. we are still seeing demonstrations and there is a real fear and concern now that if dialogue isn't achieved by the rival factions within iraq's parliament, we could continue to see the protests and the political crisis escalate over the coming days.

kim. a amonmonth's long political stalement boiling over. for the second time in less than a week, supporters of the radical cleric have reached the heavily fortified green zone tearing down concrete blast walls and storming parliament, an act of protest against the rival shiite leader for the position of prime minister. >> translator: they must dissolve parliament immediately, it is over. al sarda is the one who will real. >> translator: we've had enough. >> translator: we want to free our homeland, our people and our young men from this injustice. there are no jobs, no prospects

for a good life for our young men. people are dying from hunger. >> reporter: and pro iran coordination framework alliance candidacy has triggered backlash from supporters of his opponent who has gained popularity for positioning himself against iran and the united states. and largest parliamentary block withdrew last month, a show of force against months of political deadlock over the establishment of a new government. security forces in baghdad have cracked down on the demonstrations using water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds. according to the health ministry, more than 100 protestors were injured. in response, iraq's outgoing prime minister appealed for calm. >> the political blocs must sit down, negotiate and reach an

understanding for the sake of iraq and the iraqis. a thousand days of quiet dialogue are better than a moment in which a drop of iraqi blood is shed. >> reporter: the u.n. assistance mission for iraq has also called for the deescalation of tensions. describing the situation as deeply concerning. and earlier this week, the u.s. state department issued its own call for peace. >> there is no place for violence in these demonstrations either on the part of security forces or on the part of protesters. >> reporter: but as baghdad is rocked by the biggest demonstration the city has seen since elections in october, there is growing concern that these latest protests could open floodgates to further political instability in iraq. now, look, kim, we've seen a number of political leaders in iraq across the spectrum calling for dialogue, calling for all leaders of the political factions within iraq's parliament to come together over

the coming days to reach some sort of agreement, ease the tensions that we have seen in parliament of course spilling out on to the streets in baghdad. we've heard in response to the protests from the u.n. secretary general guterres urging for tensions to be deescalated by all parties involved in these protests. but as you saw there, we've seen a heavy crackdown by the security forces there, a real sense of frustration from the protesters and whether these parties within the parliament can actually come to some sort of resolution and agreement to reach that crucial dialogue that is needed right now. it remains uncertain. we have heard those calls from numerous international partners and within the iraqi parly mgt, iraqi prime minister yesterday urging for all leaders within the political factions in parliament to come together over the coming days as part of the meeting to discuss the ongoing tensions. >> really appreciate the update,

ghad nada bashir from istanbul for us. coming up, residents in kentucky brace for the potential of more flooding. and plus the controversial golf trump at donald trump's new jersey course, why relatives of the 9/11 victims are furious about it. when you really need to sleep. you reach for the really good stuff. zzzquil ultra helps you sleep better and longer when you need it most. its non-habit formining and powered by the makers of nyquil. it's started. sosomewhere between a cuddle and a struggle, it's...the side hug. tween milestones like this may start at age 9. hpv vaccination - a type of cancer preveion against certain hpv-related cancers, can start then too. fomost, hpv clears on its own. but for othersit can cause certain cancers later in life. you're welcome! now, as the "dad cab", it's my cue to help protect them. embrace this phase. help protect them in the next.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. let's go back to the top story, flood-weary residents in eastern kentucky are bracing for more

rain in the forecast. at least 25 people are confirmed dead after massive flooding ravaged the area and one local mayor called that just the tip of the iceberg. the governor says the damage could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. for the devastated residents, true scale of their own loss is becoming all-too real. >> i don't know if anybody can move back into these homes for a long time. if ever. a lot of people have lost everything. animals are without. people are without. homes are destroyed. we need as much help, please, i'm begging anyone who sees this, help my town, help my people. >> governor beshear says that the damage to homes and infrastructure will likely take years to rebuild. crews are making progress against a large wildfire burning near yosemite national park in

california, the oak fire is now 59% contained, it has better thanned nburned nearly 20,000 acres. the fire started a week ago and the cause is still under investigation. officials say lack of rain, drought conditions and dead trees have been factors in the fire's spread. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi and a delegation of representatives are headed to asia today. in a statement pelosi eye office said the trip will focus on security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the indo-pacific region. there was no mention of a stop in taiwan, but the possibility has led to tension between the u.s. and china in recent days. selina wang is joining us live in beijing. so more saber rattling from beijing ahead of the possible pelosi trip. bring us up to speed. >> reporter: yeah, the anger just continues to mounts here in beijing just over the possibility of this pelosi trip and we've seen more signals coming from china's military as

well. state media reported on a in i will taker drill this week on the chinese province just across the sea from taiwan and at a military press conference today, the military spokesperson said that china's warplanes and its capabilities to fly around taiwan would bolster its abilities in any potential conflict. and in recent weeks we've seen they're daily incursions of chinese warplanes in to the self declared air defense zone. so all of this and angry statements from the military, from official sources in china, all of that points to how much beijing does not want this trip to happen. and in that two hour plus call between president biden and xi jin jinping, xi jinping said that they firmly don't allow forces any n. whatever form, those who

play with fire will parish by it and i hope the u.s. side can sear this clearly. from beijing's perspective, to have nancy pelosi who is one of the most powerful politicians in america, to have her going to taiwan, well, they see that as ta tacit support and experts say the fiery rhetoric is just strong language, it is bluffing and that china doesn't actually want a conflict any more than the u.s. side does. however, on the other hand, there is also concern that given the sensitive timing of this, that xi jinping at this moment cannot look weak and that increases the risks that he makes some kind of overreaction or a rash move that includes a military component. because we're just months away from a key political meeting when xi jinping is expected to seek an unprecedented third term. so very proceed skvocative timi. but even though most experts believe china won't won't make

any direct hostile actions, but the concern is with this tense moment it increases the chances of a miscalculation or an accident that could escalate into real conflict. >> we'll be watching this for sure. selina wang in beijing, thanks so much. family and friends of 9/11 victims are protesting the liv golf tournament all weekend at donald trump's course in new jersey. they are upset that the event is backed by the saudi government and that it is happening about 50 miles from ground zero, the attack in 2001. polo sandoval is in bedminster, new jersey. >> reporter: a group 9/11 families vowing to continue to speak out against saudi-backed liv golf ahead of the third and final of the day breakout league's third tournament. members of the th9/11 justice group which is basically made of family survivors of the attacks and those who lost loved ones the day of the attack united

their voices on friday just a few miles from the trump national golf course here in bedminster, they are outraged at donald trump for hosting the saudi-backed events even after documents last year show that the attackers received support from saudi officials. the president recently defended the league and this tournament which drew big names in golf with promises of millions of dollars in guaranteed pay days. and a new jersey firefighter who not only responded to the world trade center site the day of the attacks but also lost three close friends and fellow firefighters, took to the podium on friday speaking on behalf of those 9/11 families who feel that their concerns are not being heard by the former commander in chief. >> justice is all we want. you did it, own up to [ bleep ]. i'll be honest, i was a

trumpster. excuse me for my language, but you're a real blp blp. how could you do that? if we have fbi documents that we finally know somebody did it and we're not holding them accountable, at least say it. >> reporter: those 9/11 families vowing that they plan to once again raise their voices peacefully come the next liv golf tournament that is scheduled to take place at a trump property that is scheduled for october. as for the saudi government, they maintain that they were not involved in the 9/11 attacks as well as the murder of "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi in 2018. polo sandoval, cnn, bedminster, new jersey. up next here, health experts and officials are warning more has to be done right now to halt the global monkeypox outbreak. my next guest explains what resources are needed and where to use them, plus remnants of a massive chinese rocket appeared to burn up in the earth's atmosphere. we'll have details.

we're tracking the growing outbreak of monkeypox around the world. the world health organization says more than 19,000 cases of the viral disease have been confirmed in 78 countries so far including five deaths. and a high proportion of cases are reported from countries outside where monkeypox is typically found. europe is at high risk and spain reported its second death saturday. and in new york city, the epicenter of the outbreak here in the u.s., officials have declared a public health emergency becoming the second major american city to do so following san francisco. and health experts are increasingly concerned over the number of monkeypox tests with labs operating at a fraction of capacity. and without crucial testing it

is difficult to know the true extent of the outbreak. elizabeth cohen explains why. >> reporter: a key to getting the monkeypox outbreak under control is testing and lots of it and that is why the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention has engaged with five commercial labs to increase testing capacity and now those five labs can do 70,000 specimens per week. that is a lot. but cnn has found by checking in with these labs that actually the demand at these labs is very low, doctors aren't sending in specimens in any large numbers. let's look at a few examples. for example at the mayo clinic, they have a capacity to handle 1,000 samples a week and over the past two weeks, they received 45. not per week, but 45 over both of those weeks. and aegis have a capacity of 5,000 per week and they received

zero. and a third lab, labcorp, one of the largest commercial labs in the united states, they say they received more than this, but the number of samples coming in has been extremely low. so this is problematic for several reasons, one of them is that you can only find out who has monkeypox if you test them and then you can isolate them and do contact tracing. also especially in a country as large as the united states, you want to know where your cases are so you can send resources to the right places. so let's take a look at monkeypox cases in the united st states. you see the number of cases has risen dramatically. a month ago, there was about 244 cases. now there is about 4500 cases. so there are several reasons for the low demand at labs and one of them is that most of the cases, really almost all of the cases, have been among men who have sex with men. these men often go to sexual health clinics to get their care. and these clinics say that they

are underfunded and about half of them don't even use commercial labs because they say it is too expensive. so if you have lots of patients going to clinics that don't send their samples to private labs, but those private labs have a lot of capacity, obviously there is a disconnect there. back to you. for more let's bring in professor of infectious disease at redeemers university in nigeria and also direct tore of the world banks excellence center. and he is joining us from boston. thank you so much for being here with us. where is monkeypox the most concerned now in africa and how quickly is it spreading? >> it is spreading in central and west africa for a few years now. and we believe that it is very important that we pay attention

to it. now that the monkeypox has been declared pretty much a pandemic and has really caught the attention of the global world. >> absolutely. and so while, you know, here in the u.s. we've already started vaccinating vulnerable people and we've ordered some, you know, three quarters of a million doses, but in africa where almost all of the deaths have occurred, there are no vaccines yet being given is that right? >> that is absolutely correct. and i think today we're paying the price of what i call global neglect. we're paying the price of lack of foresight. we're paying the price of what i call selfishness. because when monkeypox started in africa -- i mean when we had the resurgence of africa starting in the year 2016, the global health organization looked away. there was no mobilization of stockpile of vaccines that could have contained it in a way that would have prevented the present pandemic that is spreading all across the world.

>> does this surprise you given that, you know, vaccine equity issues have been such a huge, you know, thing of -- you know, issue of concern during the pandemic of covid? i mean, it seems as if we've learned very little in terms of the international response to an outbreak here. >> it is obvious from what is happening today that we have learned nothing from the covid pandemic. and definitely we will eventually get the vaccine equity when we as humans realize that we're only one human species, that is under, you know, a threat and that eventually will be extinct micro organism. we will achieve vaccine equity even when we realize that human life is the same and equal regardless of the color of your skin, regardless of your economic and financial status, regardless of where you are in the world.

>> that is sis absolutely right. and you talked about having a window to contain this. i've been speaking to experts who were on the w.h.o. monkeypox committee can about it wasn't declared an emergency and they said that it didn't meet the criteria. so do you feel that they really should have acted sooner and would woo it have made a difference? >> i do believe that if they acted sooner, that would have made a big difference. and when i talk about sooner, i'm talking about when we had a resurgence in africa in the years 2016 and 2017. if at that time we mobilized a stockpile of vaccines, if at that time we would have taken all the necessary and appropriate measures, it would have been better. but today we're making the same mistake and mismanaging this pandemic the same way we mismanaged the covid-19 pandemic right at the beginning. we need to ensure that vaccine stockpiles are mobilized all over the world because if you think -- if we think that we're

just mobilizing the vaccines in the global north and neglecting developing countries, eventually all we're doing is prolonging the spread and prolonging the time that it will take to achieve global containment. >> that is absolutely right. we'll have to leave it there, but hopefully we are learning at least some lessons now and that they can apply them if it is not already too late. appreciate your time so much, doctor. >> thank you very much. thank you for having me. an uncontrolled rocket hurdling towards earth, new video seems to show remnants of it burning up in the earth's atmosphere. more on that when we come back. zyrteeeec... works hard at hour one and twice as hard when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the... barcode beat conductor. ♪ go betetty! ♪ let's be more than our allergies!
