good morning. and welcome to your "new day." i'm boris sanchez. >> i'm amara walker. more than 12 million poem under flood watches as heavy rain blankets parts of the southern u.s. where we could see several inches of rain over the next few days, and the threat for flash flooding. plus, thousands more doses of the monkeypox vaccine are headed to states this week. the white house's new plan to going to more americans vaccinated and get the outbreak under control. >> i was surprised about the

cost of pens and papers and notebooks and all of that that went up. >> back to school sticker shock as inflation sent the price of school supplies soaring. the impact it is having not only on parents, but also on business owners and teachers. how some people in california are making money by having their front yards ripped out. it is sunday, august 21st, welcome to a new week. we're so grateful you're waking up with us. good morning, amara. >> good morning, boris. happy sunday. and we begin this morning with the extreme weather threat across the southwest and southern plains. more than 12 million people

under flood watches. >> yeah yesterday's search and rescue crews were out looking for a missing person in utah's zion national park. rangers say hikers were being swept off their feet by flash flooding on the virgin river. rescue teams were out in the mojave county area of arizona after rushing water washed out roads and trapped vehicles across that region. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is live for us at the cnn weather center. how long are we expecting this threat to last? >> it is going to be several days, especially across the southern tier as the storm very, very slowly creeps its way off to the east. here is a look at what we're focused on right now. a lot of heavy rain coming down across portions of north texas, areas of oklahoma, still dealing with rain across arizona and new mexico, we are going to finally start to see a lot of that rain decrease here in the next 24 hours. but you lalso have some of that moisture surging up from the

south side too. new flood watches for areas of northeastern texas, portions of oklahoma as well as louisiana and arkansas. you got two different directions that moisture is coming from. you got that system in the southwest beginning to slide east. you also have that tropical moisture surging up from the south side and that's pushing so much moisture into a very condensed space. and all of that rain is going to slide off to the east very slowly. i might add over the coming days. that's going to increase the potential for flooding. here is a look at going forward, rain through dallas, oklahoma city and shreveport as well. looking at just the next several days, notice how much yellows, oranges, reds, even that pink color you see on the screen, widespread. you're talking 3 to 5 inches of rain. but there will be some spots that could pick up 6, 8, even as much as 10 inches of rain in just the next two days. again, some of these areas need

the rain. you're looking at a map of some areas in the top ten driest years to date. they need the rain. but if you get 10 inches you want that spread out over two weeks or two months, not two days. and that's the concern we have. that's why there is the potential for the flash flood threat, especially for this yell yes and red area that you see here because it is all of the rain, boris and amara, but in a short period of time. that's going to lead to some areas dealing with flash flooding, especially areas where they had burn scars from the previous wildfires. >> that's a bit concerning. you'll watch this one i'm sure, allison chinchar, thank you. this week, the biden administration is taking new steps to thslow the spread of monkey monkeypox across the u.s. there is more than 14,000 cases across the country, more than a third of all the cases in the world. in the last 20 days nationwide, cases have nearly tripled.

>> and just this weekend, washington's king county, which includes seattle, declared monkeypox a public health emergency. vaccine supply has been an issue nationwide, because of a spike in demand, but starting tomorrow the white house is going to make an additional 1.8 million doses available for local health departments to order. it is also launching a pilot program this weekend sending vaccine supplies to cities hosting large events in the lgbtq plus community. the government is also making available more doses of antiviral treatment to help people who have already contracted the virus. >> next week hhs will be positioning 50,000 courses of tpox across the country. that's nearly five times as many treatment courses of confirmed cases in the u.s. these courses will be made available to jurisdictions where the outbreak is most severe. so individuals can get treatment more quickly from their

healthcare providers. >> joining us now to discuss the outbreak is primary care physician and public health specialist dr. saju matthew. great to have you on, especially bright and early on a sunday morning. you've been treating patients with monkeypox, what is the biggest obstacle that you have encountered in getting this outbreak under control? >> yeah, boris, listen, i was crying for enough vaccines at the beginning of covvid-19 and now for my patients that are so anxious. tpox is a really good addition to the arsenal because it is an anti-virus, antiviral medication, if given in the first three days it can decrease the pain from these pox lesions and also decrease the symptoms. but the problem is, it is not readily available. a patient of mine still has not received tpox, i have to contact

cdc via email and they were supposed to respond to me in 24 to 48 hours, but it is pretty nerve-racking because aggressive treatment needs to happen at the very beginning, not when the patient has gotten better. >> so you mentioned the tpox treatment, the manufacturer of the vaccine itself, they say they likely cannot keep up with demand with these different treatments and the vaccine. we have seen the white house invoke the defense production act during covid to boost production. is that something they should explore again in this situation? >> yeah, absolutely. whatever it takes to get enough vaccines into arms. you know, the european company you mentioned, hopefully what the ceo said is they will be actually outsourcing, if you will, or getting other manufacturing companies to help with the production of vaccines. remember, it is two shots given four weeks apart. so we're going to need a lot of

vaccines into arms asap. and unlike the covid vaccine, boris, you can actually get this vaccine for patients who have had a known exposure in the first four days. but, again, if the vaccine is not available, you miss that window of opportunity. >> yeah, and i want to ask you about this new approach that is being explored that some have voiced concern over, uses a smaller dosage of vaccine and administered at a shallower layer of the skin. again, the maker of the vaccine essentially said they didn't have enough data at this point to endorse it, but the white house is very confident, they're bullish on this. i'm wondering what your thoughts are on this new way of administering the vaccine. >> listen, if the science is there, let's do it. i'm part of the lgbtq community myself, boris, and i got my first shot a couple of weeks ago. i was lucky in a way to get the

traditional way, underneath into the fatty layer, that's called the subcutaneous way. the new way you described is called intradermal, directly into the skin. we do a lot of those shots all the time. especially patients who come in to be screened for tb. i learned the technique, it took me a couple of weeks. my only concern is number one, the vaccinators need to be able to do this correctly in order to get the immune response, and as you mentioned, we don't really have enough data. i know when i go back to my second shot, i'm most likely going to get the intradermal, so my question is, how effective will that be if it is mixed or how effective will it be, period, if it is given into the skin? these are questions that we will be answering in the next few weeks. >> and, doctor, i've spoken to friends in the lgbtq plus community who are concerned that there is now a stigma associated between monkeypox and men who have sex with men. i'm wondering if your patients

have felt stigma or have felt discriminated against because of their diagnoses? >> absolutely, one patient that i'm following right now for monkeypox went to the er and the moment the nurses and the physician saw these lesion on the face, he felt like he was being treated like a leper. really broke my heart to hear his story. he was quickly placed outside in a room, the er doctor went over to him and said, listen, this is all we can do, we can't do any testing, i'm not saying that's happening all over, but, remember, the stigma that was attached to hiv and i'm sure hoping that the lgbtq community will not go through that again. one last point, boris, i'm less afraid of monkeypox as a physician than i was of covid, especially during the initial wave. because if you wear the ppe equipment, and you wear the gloves and your n95 mask, you're fairly safe in the room examining the lesions and every

human being needs the respectful care that they deserve. >> i can't disagree with that. appreciate your time as always. thank you for the expertise. >> you bet. so as part of the strategy to get more people vaccinated for monkeypox, health officials in charlotte are administering vaccines at the city's pride parade this weekend. and in the next hour, you'll want to stay tuned. we'll be joined by the county public health director for a look at the strategy and how it is going so far. >> looking forward to that. all right, we're following a developing story out of somalia right now where a deadly siege at an upscale hotel has ended a few hours ago. the al qaeda affiliate al shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack that killed at least 30 people and injured dozens more. somali police say they rescued 106 people, including women and children from the hotel. cnn correspondent larry madowo joining us live now with the latest.

hi there, larry. good to know the siege has ended, but walk us through how all of this unfolded. >> reporter: it was a 30-hour plus siege that shocked the nation. this is the longest siege since the al shabaab group were essentially driven out of the capital mogadishu more than ten years ago, and this is such a terrorist group that has been described as al qaeda's largest global affiliate. that is why the u.s. has been carrying out air strikes against this group in recent weeks, including one this past sunday that killed 13 people. 106 people rescued are happy to have gotten out of that scene, but the death toll could rise. it was a long journey to end the siege. watch. friday night in mogadishu, an eyewitness captures the moments a large blast shakes the surroundings and the crowd runs for cover. ambulances race through the streets, security forces arrive on the scene. al shabaab, an al qaeda-linked

terror group, claims it has struck again in somalia. this time at the upscale hayat hotel, frequented by lawmakers and government officials. cnn has not independently confirmed the claim of responsibility. police say the militants set off explosives at the gate and stormed the building, taking hostages and barricading themselves inside the hotel. a fierce gun battle with somali security forces raged throughout the night and into the day. large sections of hathe hotel we destroyed in the fighting. elite counterterrorism forces entereded the hotel building to regain control. this is the first major attack on the somali capital mogadishu since the election in may. he promised during his campaign that he would neutralize the terror group. back in may, president biden authorized the redeployment of troops back in somalia,

reversing a decision of president trump to withdraw all u.s. troops from the country. in 2020, it attacked a u.s. base in northern somalia and killed three u.s. servicemen. amara? >> larry madowo, appreciate your reporting, thank you. just ahead, the daughter of one of vladimir putin's closest advisers is killed when her car explodes. what we're learning about that is next. also, families are hit by rising prices getting quite the sticker shock when going back to school shopping. how much extra parents are paying for the basics this school year. plus, the droughts in the northeast forcing farmers to make some very difficult decisions. we're joined by one who says things haven't been this bad in decades. stay with us.

the daughter of an influential and prominent supporter of vladimir putin was killed yesterday when her car exploded in a town near moscow. >> that is according to russian state media, which also says it is likely an explosive device was planted in the car darya dugina was driving. >> fred pleitgen joins us from moscow. what more have you learned about this explosion? does it appear she was the intended target? >> reporter: well, this happened, good morning, first of all, this happened late last night here on the outskirts of moscow. apparently as darya dugina was driving home. we can see the aftermath video of that car on fire. essentially what the investigators say is that there was a major explosion while she was driving on that highway. she then lost control, crashed the car, the car went up in flames and she was dead on the spot. but, of course, as you guys have said, the big question is was she the actual target of all of

this. now, some are saying the car might have belonged to her dad, alexander dugin, and he might be the actual target of what the investigators are saying could be a murder, looks very much like a murder attempt, an alleged murder. so alexander dugin is definitely someone who is very prominent here in russia. he certainly is someone who if you will kind of has the ideological underpinnings of an expansionist theory of russia, of russia becoming bigger, becoming an empire again. he's also very much in favor of russia fighting for the current military operation inside ukraine, of trying to get as much territory in the donbas region as well. you know, there are some who say he is very close to vladimir putin, and that he's very influential on vladimir putin. that might be overstating it. but he is certainly someone who is very influential, if you look around kremlin state media and the general sort of ideological ground work around russia's expansionist policies into ukraine. and certainly today there were

comments coming from russia's foreign ministry saying it could be the ukrainians who are behind all of this. and obviously a lot of anger here in moscow as well. the ukrainians have come out today, we need to mention that assed as well. they said ukraine is not behind all this. there is a good degree of mystery there. but definitely a big hit, taken here, in moscow and certainly something that has shake and a lot of people in the upper echelons of russia and the sort of circle around vladimir putin, guys. >> all right, frederik pleitgen, good to see you. thank you for that. >> thanks. nearly a thousand migrants have been bussed from texas to parts of new york and washington, d.c. just ahead, how cities are dealing with the surge and their message to many of the migrants. ♪ ♪ bout to get down, living it up ♪ ♪ never touch ground, never enough ♪

so new york city officials are announcing plans to address an influx of asylum seekers arriving from texas. listen to this. new york is expecting at least 1,000 kids who are part of that group to enter the city's school system just this year. >> they're among the thousands sent there by bus from the lone star state at the direction of governor greg abbott and this week the governor doubled down on his decision. >> before we begin busing illegal immigrants up to new york, it was just texas and arizona that bore the brunt of all of the chaos and all the problems that come with it. now the rest of america is understanding exactly what is going on. >> cnn's jean casarez has more now from new york. >> reporter: the program is called open arms. and when the buses arrive in new

york city to the new york port authority, which is really the bus terminal right here in new york city, as they exit the bus, they are greeted, they are taken to an area where they can get clothes, whatever they may need, then an area for toiletries and school supplies, whatever they think they may need. the next step is housing. and a bidding process is going on right now with the city of new york and hotels because they would like some of the hotels to house these migrants so they can live in the hotels. there are also shelters. but they do want schools that the children are going to go to to be in close proximity to where the families are staying. i want you to listen right now to david banks, the chancellor of the new york city department of education. >> already our incredible public school staff are stepping up, working tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition for these new

students, with minimal disruption in their education. >> reporter: now, let's look at the figures. since may there have been 6,000 migrants that have come to new york city. since early august, which is about three weeks ago there have been 600 that have come, and they think that about 1,000 children kindergarten through eighth grade at this point will be entering the new york city school system. now, there are some issues that they're still work on, they don't have enough bilingual teachers, they're working with the government of the dominican republic to bring spanish-speaking teachers to new york city and finally they are asking the federal government for money, for everything that they are doing for these migrants here in new york city. jean casarez, cnn, new york. >> thank you, jean. as parents hit the stores for back to school shopping, they are spending more money for fewer supplies. pencils, notebooks, binders and

glue all have higher price tags this year. >> and it is not just parents, right, struggling with rising costs. teachers and small business owners are also feeling the strain. cnn's vanessa yurkevich takes a closer look. >> i have three kids, all the kids will be in school five days a week. it is going to be an interesting year. >> reporter: that's a lot of stuff that kids need for school. >> it is nerve-racking because it is a lot of stuff. >> reporter: it is a new school year. >> ready to go. >> ready to go. >> reporter: and this year, the average american household will spend $864 on back to school shopping. 40% higher than before the pandemic. like everything that costs more, parents can blame inflation. >> i was surprised about the cost of, like, pens and paper and notebooks and all of that. that went up. >> reporter: it is beyond the basics. tape is up almost 70%.

glue, 30%. sneakers, 12% and backpacks up 2%. >> everybody needed new shoes. everybody's feet grew like crazy over the summer. everybody needed new backpacks. you have to prioritize what they really need versus what they want. >> reporter: it is not just parents feeling the pain. >> we can't keep up with the increase in prices. >> reporter: danielle solo owned this schools supply store in new york for three year. he says keeping up with rising prices makes it hard to not pass that cost down to the consumer. >> i'm not going to raise the price on what i already have in the store. i'm going to absorb that. >> reporter: is that a loss? >> it minimizes my profit margin. when you do that, it is hard to stay in business. >> reporter: before the pandemic, teachers were already spending an average $478 out of pocket on school supplies each year. inflation has likely pushed that number even higher today. elementary school art teacher

deborah sesssane is shopping for art supplies. how many of these do you have to purchase for your class? >> i usually buy about 48 of these. >> reporter: a couple hundred dollars just on glue. >> glue, yeah. it is important. >> reporter: which is why organizations like kids in need foundation in minnesota provide free school supplies for more than 300,000 teachers and 7.8 million students each year. >> with the high cost of inflation and prices, et cetera, teachers are concerned. we're seeing all across the u.s. a demand for core essential school supplies. >> this is my second cart and i probably am facing hundreds if not maybe even thousands of dollars. >> reporter: but for some teachers, this year's extra expense is still worth it. does that affect your personal finances? >> yes. i'll cut back on something else because when you're an educator,

new this morning, more than 4 million people in southern california are being asked to cut outdoor watering for 15 days next month as officials work to repair a leaky pipeline from the colorado river. some california cities are taking things a step further and paying their residents to replace their lawns altogether. cnn's mike valerio takes us there. >> reporter: this repair is expected to happen between the 6th and the 20th. this is part of the expanse that will be affected by this. as we zoom in in front of us this is culver city, california, 40,000 people, as we zoom in a little farther, just to the right of the century city skyscrapers, that is beverly hills, which is just above 30,000 people. both of these communities within the several dozen that will be without colorado river water for the middle of next month. so as we have more and more of these shortages, and you look at

this green expanse, more people are tearing out their green lawns, replacing them with native plants that use far less water. you're going to hear from a homeowner who is doing that exact thing, in addition to a potential vision of the future. watch. >> i'll though i didn't want to say good-bye to my beautiful lawn, it was like a park, i realized that the grass wasn't going to make it, and so i decided to change the landscape and put in some arrid plants. >> we want people to be walking down the street, taking their kids or dog for a walk and you see a yard that is turf, that's not the normal. that's out of -- that's the abnormal. >> reporter: it will save so much in terms of protecting the water supply, and there are so many incentives, our cnn reporting has shown for people

to rip out their lawns. municipalities across southern california paying people now between $2 and $6 a square foot. one of our colleagues the other day interviewed a homeowner outside of palm springs who is expecting a check for $24,000 for taking out his green grass, replacing it with artificial turf that takes nothing to water, of course, it is artificial, this is just one of the ways that people are putting into practice protections for this very fragile and scarce water source. amara and boris, back to you. >> an interesting story, thank you for that. another concern this morning is the growing drought in the northeast where parts of eastern massachusetts, connecticut, and the entire state of rhode island are now under extreme drought conditions. here with me now is myland adams, a rhode island pay farmer who says this drought has

severely hurt his harvest. appreciate you joining us this morning. how bad has this drought been for you? >> so, i mean, for us normally we have rain coming in the spring. we get a lot of rain march, april, may, drives our crops up. this year we didn't see any of that. so we didn't have any rain, we had a little bit in june, kind of brought our first cut hay up and then from june all the way to now i think we had probably one rainstorm that i can remember. about a tenth of an inch of rain. >> one rainstorm usually in the spring is when you get your rain. what does that mean for your hay then? what is it looking like in terms of quantity and quality? >> so we're down to about 30% first cut. quality was there. but we got height from it. we did not get the volume we normally would get. as far as second cut, third cut, we're not looking like we're going to get any. my fields now are completely burnt.

probably only about four, five inches tall when normally they're a foot, foot and a half. we're usually on second cut right about now. our third cut would be end of september and it is not looking good for any of that. >> gosh, so you're obviously seeing huge shortage of hay then, right. what does that mean in general for your livelihood and also who you provide hay for? i'm sure the cow farmers are going to be lacking this season. >> yeah, no, absolutely. we're looking at an increased cost and not just us. we talked to people from vermont, new york, they're all experiencing the same thing. especially in our area, a lot of hay comes from new york and they're experiencing this as well. we're going to see hay prices, usually $7 a bale, you'll see up to $15 a bale most likely. we're getting hammered by the increase inflation as well, diesel fuel, fertilizer, other materials, so this is just a lot more added to it. >> i mean, talk to me about the

conversation at the dinner table then. this must be causing a lot of stress on your family. >> yeah. you know, we really endure as farmers. we keep pushing forward. we do what we have to do. every year we find a way. it is never just concentrating on the struggles. we try to look forward and put as much positive in our life as possible as well. >> but, looking forward, i mean, does this seem to be the new normal for you? i was looking at some of the statistics and according to the national weather service, providence is having one of -- is having this -- its third driest july on record. so do you expect this to be kind of a cyclical thing and not just a one off dry summer? >> so, we're hoping it is not. out of the past four years, two years we have been in extreme drought. the other time was in 2019, same thing. i think my second cut i got one

field and really trying to clean it up at that point. this is two out of four years we had droughts that affect us. but, again, this year is worse because it hit earlier. i'm hoping it is a cycle. looking forward, that we can manage. and, but, you know, we don't know what is going to happen. >> do you consider this a climate emergency? >> you know, we're in a -- we're in a climate emergency, in my part of the state, we're more coastal, we're only about ten miles from the coast. we get a lot of coastal effect too. so for us in the southern part of the state, a lot of the farmers, irrigation pods are dry, can't manage what is going on, so for us this year i would say it is an irrigation emergency, drought emergency. looking toward the future, we're hoping we correct ourselves and

the weather pattern changes and gets back to normal gli. >> i think that will have to do a lot with what we humans do in terms of our environment. we wish you all the best. thank you for your time. thank you. >> thank you. as more families struggle to pay for basic necessities, some are making the tough difficult decision of giving up their pets. how are animal shelters coping with overcrowding? that story next. but first, a quick programming note, tonight, join dana bash for an investigation into anti-semitism in america and the high tech fight against it. cnn's special report "rising hate: anti-semitism in america" starts tonight at 9:00 p.m. n a medice, elisha noll)♪ ♪ are you ready? ♪ ♪ ahh yeah ♪ ♪ you're going out tonight ♪ ♪ dance ♪ ♪ get with the groove and ♪ ♪ dance ♪ ♪ get up and move let's ♪ ♪ dance ♪ ♪ kick off your shoes andnd ♪ ♪ show me how you ♪ ♪ dance ♪
