live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on cnn newsroom, shocking details about the documents the fbi seized from mar-a-lago. what it could mean for donald trump ahead. russia bids farewell to mikhail gorbachev, the last leader of the ussr. one person is opting out of the funeral ceremonies. we're live in moscow with the details. and serena williams' legendary career comes to an

apparent end. we're live in new york with more on her final match and her plan plans for the future. >> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. >> serena williams one of the greatest tennis players of all time, may have played her last match. her dream of winning a 24th grand slam title before, quote, evolving away from tennis came the a sudden end at the u.s. open when she lost in the third round to australian ajla tomljanovic. when asked after the match about what her future holds, williams had this response. here she is. >> for me, tennis has been such a huge part of my life. i can't imagine not being involved in tennis. i don't know what that involvement is yet. but i feel like it's provided me with so many opportunities. and through that, it's provided

other people with so many amazing opportunities. and, you know, i think it means so much to me in my life. and i've had so many amazing moments that i don't -- i don't see a future without it. what's my involvement? i have no idea. but i think -- i think i'll be involved in some way or shape. >> all right. let's bring in cnn tennis contributor ben ruffinberg. what a match. so much excitement, drama, and emotion as you can see there on her face. the atmosphere seemed electric. >> no, it really was. i think serena really did herself justice in this final tournament, really showing some vintage form. it wasn't clear she would be able to summit in her 40s. this was by far her best tennis of thor. >>. she had rough matches in the lead-up that left some people somewhat nervous about what her form would be like in her farewell event. but she really rose to the

occasion and summoned something deep within herself to pull out this world class tennis. a very back and forth match, over three hours. really a pretty appropriate fitting deserved way for her to go out and have a final note in her career. >> yeah, a fitting note because it's the u.s. open. she had such a great relationship with that event. talk to me about that. >> yeah, it's the first tournament she won when she -- first grand slam she won when she was 17. 1999s she won her first. 201 20102012. some tough moments for well. it's her home grand slam and the perfect place for her to go out. certainly the crowd reception really did make this week all about her at the tournament. it was pretty remarkable seeing the outpouring. it was pretty incredible. >> and now we're taking this chance to look back at her career. what do you think made her such a dominant force in women's tennis beyond the physical attributes? >> i think she just had a

hunger. i think it always came from being the younger sister in the family, always looking up to venus. no one in tennis has ever had a better older sibling than venus williams of the pro players that came on tour. it really was an incredible benchmark that venus set pretty high, and serena won the four grand slams in 2003 for the first time she won all four, she beat venus in every one of those finals. it was that sibling rivalry that laid the foundation for serena's career. and she said in herrion court remarks tonight after losing that there would be no serena without venus. she was very quick to call out venus and give her all the credit for her career. >> yeah, i thought that was really touching as well. she doesn't have the most major titles, but do you think she was the best ever? >> i think so. the margaret court record, the 24th, from a different era, 1960s mostly and tied before tennis was opened to professionals at the grand

slams. and margaret court was australian and a lot of her titles back when a lot of players weren't making the long trip, usually by boat to australia at that point. yeah, it's not really an apples to oranges comparison. certainly the 21st century and probably a professional tennis era which dates back to '68, i think serena is the top one for several reasons at this point. >> yeah, such a huge career, and such a big influence on so many women tennis players and especially women of color. we'll have to leave there it. cnn tennis contributor ben r rothenberg, thank you so much. we're learning startling new details about what fbi agents took from donald trump's home in florida. the full inventory was released on friday by a federal judge who is considering trump's request for a special master. but trump's former attorney general scoffs at the idea of appointing a special master, calling it a waste of time. well get the latest from cnn's sara murray.

intermingled with magazines, newspaper, press clippings, photos and articles of clothing. >> you know, mostly the boxes pictures and newspapers and shirts and gear, golf balls and just it's a lot of stuff. you know, when you're there for four years, it's a long time. >> reporter: while trump has downplayed what was recovered by the fbi, a seven-page list ticks through how sensitive the material was. 18 documents marked top secret. 54 documents marked secret. and 31 documents marked confidential. investigators also collected dozens of empty folders with a classified banner or labeled return to staff secretary/military aide. >> none of this is going the help donald trump. >> reporter: a federal judge in florida unsealing the inventory and pondering whether to appoint a special master to independently review the seized material. >> the idea of a special master

is a bit of a red herring. at this stage i think it's a waste of time. >> reporter: the investigators' haul which included more than 11,000 government documents without classified markings real revealed how much trump was holding on to. 18 months after leaving office. >> so what you do is you accumulate a lot of stuff over a term. and all of the sudden you're leaving. and stuff gets packed up and sent. >> right. >> all sorts of stuff. >> reporter: but in trump's office alone, investigatorress trooefed a number of boxes, including 27 documents marked classified in some way. >> people say this is unprecedented. it's also unprecedenteded for a president to take all this classified information and put it in a country club, okay. >> investigators found them after trump's team had assured the government any potentially classified materials had been kept in a more secure storage room, and after a representative for trump signed a document saying everything with classified markings had been turned over a month before the search. meantime, in a separate criminal investigation into the january

6th attack of the u.s. capitol and the events leading up to it, former trump white house lawyers pat cipollone and patrick philbin appearing before a grand jury today. both men pushed back on efforts to overturn the 2020 election and are key witnesses to the final days of trump's presidency. cnn reporting they appeared after weeks of discussion with the justice department over executive privilege. back to that trove of documents that came from mar-a-lago. we're only learning all of these details about them of course because the former president has sought a special master. this independent reviewer to oversee these documents. the judge still has not issued a ruling on whether she will grant that request from the trump team. but she did suggest she was leaning toward it, asking in a hearing earlier this week what's the harm of putting forward a special master. sara murray, cnn, washington. moscow bids farewell to mikhail gorbachev. the former soviet president who played a leading role in

bringing the cold war to a peaceful end. and we're looking at live pictures here. gorbachev died tuesday after a long illness. a public service is being held in the hall of columns at moscow's historic house of the unions ambassador to russia john sullivan is attending, but russian president vladimir putin isn't. gorbachev will be buried next to his wife raisa at another historic location in moscow. again, we're looking at live pictures of the service there at the hall of columns in moscow. and joining us now to talk about it is annie applebaum. she is a staff writer with the "atlantic" and author of the book "twilight of democracy" and comes to us live from london. thank you so much for being here with us. so first on what we're seeing now. what do you make of the way gorbachev is being mourned there? he is not getting a state funeral, and putin, while he was paying respects, isn't attending the funeral.

>> it's not very surprising given that putin has described the end of the soviet union, which gorbachev presided over, as the greatest political catastrophe of the 20th century, meaning presumably greater than the second world war. the current history in moscow promulgated by putin says that gorbachev is to blame for enormous number of ills, or the economic crash of the '90s, for russia's loss of status. there are people in moscow who will be genuinely mourning him and who remember his reign as general secretary and then as president of the soviet union as a moment of great creativity and openness. it was the moment when russia really finally after many decades began to change. but the official line, the one that supports the current ruling elite and their argument for why they need an autocratic, kleptocrat tick state is he

brought down the russian empire. >> looking back at his legacy, i was struck at the line from a recent piece of yours. almost nobody in history has ever had such a profound impact on his era, while at the same time understanding so little about it. tell us what you mean by that. >> the gorbachevs started out as a reform economist. in other words, he wanted to fix the soviet union. he didn't want to end it. and he tried different methods. he tried an anti-alcohol campaign to reduce drunkenness. that was his first attempt at reform. and then he tried glasnost, or openness. he thought if we would just talk about our problems openly, if we would end the great secrecy surrounding things, and he was pam partly inspired by the chernobyl disaster, you could fix things. if you opened up conversations in the soviet union, people wanted to talk about all kinds of things. they wanted to talk about the repressions of the past. they wanted to talk about stalinist mass murderers and the

gulag, the mass concentration samples. and it became immediately clear with amazing speed in the late '80s and early '90s that the system itself had no legitimacy, despite all the propaganda, despite all the puffery, people hated it. and once that had happened and once the various national movements in ukraine and in the baltic states and elsewhere began to dane traction, nobody wanted the soviet union either. so he -- it ended without him meaning to end it. he didn't intend to bring the era to an end. he didn't intend to end the soviet empire in eastern europe as well. the fall of the berlin wall was an accident. it wasn't planned. so he wound up being a very important historical figure without ever planning for that to happen. >> all right. just stay with us. i want to bring in senior international correspondent fred pleitgen, who joins us now live from the house of unions in

central moscow. fred, you are there at the public service. so tell us more about your impressions on how gorbachev is being mourned there. >> hi there, kim. first of all, i think everything said to far is absolutely correct. one of the things we can see is a lot of the big words about mikael gorbachev as being one of the biggest leaders of the 20th century, they mostly come from outside of russia. if you look at for instance what the former german chancellor said, secretary of state blinken as well, they obviously praised mikhail gorbachev as someone instrumental in bringing down the iron curtain. here in russia it's not just vladimir putin or the russian government, but many russians who simply feel that their situation after the fall of the iron curtain, and especially at the dissolution of the soviet union got worse than it was before. there was a lot of uncertainty in many people's lives. obviously for people economic decline. but i think people also felt

that for many years, especially in the 1990s that russia was essentially humiliated on the world stage, going from a world power, being basically on par with the united states in the western bloc to being sort of a second rate country for many years, and one that was almost mocked internationally because of a lot of the issues that were here. nevertheless, you do have a lot of people who are coming here to the ceremony who want the pay their respects. one of the things that we've seen sort of outside of the house of unions where i am right now where the ceremony is taking place is that a lot of the streets have been blocked off. there is massive security measures. there is a lot of police as well. so you can see that this for the authorities, they realize that this is a very important event, that there are still many russians obviously love mikhail gorbachev for the changes he brought and for the freedoms people had, especially in the 1990s. but certainly a lot of people who felt that the soviet union was stagnating, that the soviet union was in trouble. they certainly felt that they were heard by mikhail gorbachev here in russia. but of course, his role

internationally is one that is remembered much stronger than here in russia itself, kim. >> yeah, and fred, what do you make of the -- i guess you'd see it as a snub that putin isn't going to the funeral, and that he's not been given a state funeral like yeltsin was. >> yeah, and it's really interesting. the kremlin was sort of dancing around the topic the past couple of days. on the one hand you did have vladimir putin come to the casket, touch the open casket, bow down to mikhail gorbachev's body, but also saying he is simply too busy today to be attending this funeral. on the one hand, that could be seen as a snub. on the other hand, if you look at the russian public, not very much is being reported today. there is a few media that are out here, but certainly nothing of the magnitude that you would expect for one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century. as far as the state funeral is concerned, what the kremlin

said, there would be elements of a state funeral. so it's not officially a state funeral, but there are elements of state funeral. there is an honor guard. there is a ceremony. and they say that the state has helped to organize the event that we are seeing today. so yes, it can be seen as somewhat of a snub. and you do see the kremlin sort of struggling with the public messaging about this as well. and you're absolutely right also that boris yeltsin when he passed away in 2007, he did not just receive a state funeral, the day of his death was declared a day of public mourning as well, kim. >> and again, just to bring our viewers up to date, we're seeing live pictures of the remembrance ceremony for mikhail gorbachev at the hall of columns in moscow as we see the soldiers approaching the casket in the ceremony. we were talking about his legacy, and you wrote in the end he wound up racing to catch up with history rather than making it himself. but obviously, he was a man of

peace and things can easily have gone another way. and i think that especially in the west as fred was saying, he is seen as a transformational satisfying. talk to us a bit about that. >> the really important things that gorbachev did were the things that he didn't do. he didn't prevent the reunification of east and west germany. he didn't tell east german guards to fire on people when they were crossing the berlin wall. he didn't stop ukraine from declaring independence. he didn't prevent the baltic states from saying they wanted to leave the soviet union. there were some episodes of violence when the red army, the soviet army sought to block some of those things from happening briefly, but in the end, he was somebody who did not want to use violence. he wanted to end the practice of violence in the soviet union and had actually been talking about that since the 1960s.

and so in that sense, the expression man of peace is correct. he wanted a reconciliation with the west. he wanted an end to the nuclear standoff. and although he didn't intend for the reunification of europe to happen, he didn't stop it either. and i think for those reasons, he is rightly remembered as a great figure. look, he has given us 30 years of an end to the nuclear standoff. 30 years during which europe was reunified and genuine reforms were carried out in many places, if not in russia itself. and so his status as a great world historical figure is unquestioned. it's just that the oddity of his position is that it was not planned. he didn't -- he didn't plan it. and of course that's also one of the things russians are angry at him about. he didn't prepare them for democracy. he didn't prepare them for free markets. everything was very haphazard in

the late '80s and early '90s. and this feeling that they were engulfed by chaos was not wrong. >> yeah. and i think it's worth underscoring that george bush ch gorbachev himself . we'll have to leave there it. anne applebaum and senior international correspondent fred pleitgen in moscow. really appreciate having both of you on the story as we see there. again, live pictures of the funeral ceremony, or the remembrance ceremony for mikhail gorbachev and the hall of columns in moscow. all right. turning now to ukraine, where the u.n.'s nuclear watchdog says it will have a long-term presence at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plan. the iaea inspectors went there on thursday for the first time since the war began. now the agency's chief says six of the inspectors will stay at

the facility for a few more days while two will remain there on a long-term basis. they plan to release the report next week on what the inspectors found at the plant. the iaea chief said they already know much more than they did before the visit, but also shared biggest concerns about the plant which has repeatedly come under artillery fire. let's listen. >> it is clear that those who have these aims, these military aims know very well that is the way to cripple or to do more damage is not to look into the reactors which are enormously sturdy and robust, but to hit where it hurts so the plant becomes, you know, very, very problematic. so my concern would be, you know, the physical integrity would be the power supply, and of course the staff. >> ukrainian president zelenskyy

says he is disappointed that russia prevented journalists from coming that the iaea isn't pushing for a demilletary decision of the plant. but he still believes the mission in zaporizhzhia can be fruitful. europe could be facing a rough winter as gazprom shuts down a crucial pipeline to germany. they turned off supplies due to an oil leak. many in the west are skeptical. news comes after western countries grid to cap the price of russian oil. it's the kind of leak that can be sealed on-site. s seemans energy says it's routine during work. they add in the past this type of leakage has not resulted in a shutdown of operations. nasa's artemis i is set for liftoff again. after a few setbacks, it looks like all systems are good for saturday's launch.

but will the weather cooperate? we'll get details on that next. stay with us.

right now it's all systems go for nasa's artemis i mission. saturday's launch window opens at 2:17 p.m. eastern time. monday's liftoff was scrubbed because of a number of issues including an engine cooling problem. the unmanned rocket will travel farther beyond the moon than any spacecraft intended to carry humans has gone. right now nasa meteorologists predict about 60% favorable conditions. so let's bring in cnn meteorologist derek van dam.

obviously weather playing a huge role in this artemis mission. what's the latest? >> in fact, that 60% is actually going to increase to an 80% likelihood of liftoff without impeding from the weather as that two-hour window succeeds through the course of the day. that's good news, because the next possible wind monday 5th, labor day. edging closer and closer or further and further into the peak of the hurricane season, right? this is on the east coast of the florida peninsula. an area susceptible to tropical storms, of course. but of course the meteorologist locking for every potential weather hazard on launch day, being this morning or this afternoon, i should say. and they have highlighted the two potential violations today, which would be lightning, which they're not allowing liftoff to take place if there is a lightning strike within 30 minutes of launch and within ten nautical miles of cape canaveral. the cumulus clouds, we don't

want to see any conumulonimbus clouds that could inhibit the 'lanche. cape canaveral's forecast calling for improving conditions through the course of that two-hour launch window. good news too because there is a new tropical storm that just developed overnight. the 11:00 p.m. update from the national hurricane center. this is tropical storm earl, and it's just north and east of the u.s. and british virgin islands and the leeward island there's. you can see puerto rico. it is a weak tropical storm, only 40-mile-per-hour winds. however, this is the fifth named tropical system. you can see the consensus in our models brings it in a west-northwesterly direction, and then steers it away from the u.s. east coast as well as cape canaveral, where artemis is set to launch later this afternoon. but of course you never quite know how these things are going to handle, especially when they're moving this slowly. will it continue in that westward trajectory? time will tell.

but all things same on our computer models showing it should steer away from the florida coast. kim? >> let's hope. we'll be watching. cnn meteorologist derek van dam, thank you so much. u.s. employers stay in the hiring mode, expanding their payrolls for yet another month. how will that affect the fed's decision on interest rates? that's ahead. plus, we're now learning the full extent of what the fbi took of donald trump's home last month. you'll hear what trump's former attorney general thinks it, next. stay with us. with hand-crafted steakburgers and chicken sandwiches. there's a perfect plate for everyone. great value fofor all your favorites only from ihop. downwnload the app and earn free food with every order. - hey honey. - hey dad. that smell could be eight million odor causing bacteria. good thing adding lysol laundry sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria that deterges can't. clean is good,ng sanitized is better.er

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." new details about the fbi search of donald trump's home show the former president appeared to be extremely reckless about handling top secret government documents. on friday, a judge released the full list of what was taken from mar-a-lago, including classified materials found stashed among boxes of magazines, clothing, and other personal belongings and dozens of folders marked classified are empty. here he is. >> let me just say i think the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in mar-a-lago. people say this was unprecedented. well, it's also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put it in a country club, okay. and how long is the government going to try to get that back?

they tjawboned for a year. they were deceived on the voluntary actions taken. they then went and got a subpoena. they were deceived on that, they feel. and the facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around. and so how long -- how long do they wait? >> the judge in this case is now considering trump's request future a special master to review the seized materials which barr calls a waste of time. now maybe it's just a coincidence, but sources tell cnn that just days after the mar-a-lago search, the national archives suddenly received a new batch of texts and emails from mark meadows, trump's former chief of staff. the archives are the custodian of all presidential records. and after seeing what meadows submitted to the january 6th committee, they apparently realized they didn't have everything from him. the lawyers had already arranged to turn over the additional materials, but there is speculation the mar-a-lago search may have sped up the actual transfer. the biden administration has

approved more than $1.1 billion in arm sales to taiwan and china isn't happy about it. beijing is warning washington of potential counter measures and says the deal could both seriously jeopardize u.s.-china relations. cnn's will ripley has details from taipei. >> reporter: it didn't take long after the announcement of this more than $1 billion arms package for the chinese government to make its displeasure known. more than half of this package includes more than $600 million upgrade to an early radar warning system that has been operating here in taiwan for almost a decade. there is also 330 million plus for anti-warship missiles, 85 million for air to air missiles, and all of this the united states says is to help taiwan enhance its defenses as tensions continue to soar with beijing. this comes one day after an unidentified drone was shot down on taiwan's outlying island, a matter of 10 kilometers from the coast of mainland china. taiwan's ministry of foreign affairs points out this is the

sixth time during the biden administration and the fifth them this year that arms sales have been approved. they appreciate the united states honoring its commitments under the taiwan relations act. a series of agreements signed more than 40 years ago where the u.s. agrees to recognize beijing diplomatically and not recognize taipei. but they do agree to provide defensive weapons to the democracy who has had its own military for more than 70 years, since the end of china's civil war. all that time beijing and communist rulers say they have sovereignty over taiwan. every time the united states and taiwan engage in an arms sale, beijing says it is a violation of their one china principle, and they pr have promised counter measure if the weapons sales and military interactions are not revoked. they say this severely jeopardizes u.s.-china relations and puts peace and stability across the taiwan strait at risk. but they are continuing to call

for a peaceful resolution of the cross-straight tensions that have been escalating very much in recent weeks. this is one month or so since the visit of nancy pelosi caused china to stage unprecedented military exercises that encircled this island. of course taiwan claims that the pelosi visit was simply an excuse, and the plans for those military exercises, which almost simulated a blockade of taiwan, taiwan says they say those plans were in place or the quite some time and china was just looking for a reason to make them happen. will ripley, cnn, taipei. coming up, more help is on the way for those suffering in pakistan where floods have killed more than a thousand people, including hundreds of children. we get the details next. ows it gets in between teeth to destroy 5x more plaquee above ththe gumline than floss. for a cleaner, healthier mouth. lilisterine. feel the whoa! i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi.

the u.s. is stepping up relief to flood ravaged pakistan. a response team from the u.s. agency for international development is now on the ground to assess the situation and come up with a plan to provide more resources. earlier this week, the u.s. said it would give $30 million in humanitarian aid. so far almost 1200 people have been killed, including more than 400 children. in total, the floods have impacted some 33 million people across pakistan. all right. let's bring in the head of international federation of red cross and red crescent societies country office in pakistan. thank you so much for being here

with us. a third of pakistan is under water. last time you and i spoke, i think it was about a week ago, i think three million people were affected. now that number has increased more than tenfold. have you ever seen anything on this scale before? >> good morning, good afternoon. thank you for having me. no, no. in my almost three decade career at present, i've never, ever seen anything like that. the federation of the red crescent society has classified this disaster as a red emergency. red emergency mean it is the highest classification you can have on an emergency on any disaster. and it also has to do with the number of people affected, the side of the disaster, and the impact of it. so this is really a very, very bad situation for pakistan. >> one of the impacts obviously aside from the water sits. any time you have a long lasting

disaster widespread disease is always a concern. but the problem is compounded when you have so much water around. >> yes, exactly. it is difficult. i have just returned from a field trip to one of the affected areas. and while in some areas the water is slowly going down there, are other areas where we do know that water will still be there there for the weeks to come. so we're really looking at two points. we're looking at the short-term life-saving needs and support that we can give. clearly the needs would be food works be shelter, and would be safe drinking water. and medical. that is really the need. and as you said, stagnant water, waterborne diseases, the risk is there, and we are fully aware that we might have a big, big risk to have waterborne diseases in the next couple of days. that's why medical help is to be deployed are in place and we're increasing access to health units to be increased as well. >> yeah, i mean, the aid is so

great. and we're seeing the pictures here. it's just incredible the devastation. but how do you deliver the aid given the extreme flooding and the loss of critical infrastructure? >> aid is being done in different ways. it is also known that now roughly 4,000 kilometers have been washed away. so access is a problem. wherever we can, we deliver the aids that we had in i believe in our warehouses. we are delivering that by roads wherever possible. otherwise, we do deliver by boat. areas that are still submerged, we have boats, sometimes rowing boats, the basic boats to deliver. otherwise, the government and the army have deployed helicopters to save people, to rescue people, but also to deliver aid. so that's what we are looking now, and that's the only way we can operator at this moment. >> this is going to be such a long-term disaster.

i mean, winter, you know, is coming. in the north i believe it's already getting cold. that's just adds to the urgency of the situation u.s. aid is sending in expertise and money. so what more is needed? >> well, as i said earlier, we are looking at the short-term, but also the long-term. so the long-term is the recovery. so, yes, winter is coming. so we are looking definitely at winter for the people affected, the communities affected. but also on the longer term, the recovery. so people are -- whenever possible, people are returning home to the homes that are destroyed. so they need shelter. shelter is important. then they slowly will start rebuilding the housing, restoring the houses, getting back on their feet. and also the economic recovery. so we ask red cross red crescent we launched an appeal for $25 million u.s. dollars to help

month of strong job gains. that's despite record inflation and concerns about a possible recession. but as we report, job creation in august didn't match the blockbuster jobs report from the month before. >> the u.s. job market still strong, but the pace of hiring slowed last month. the economy added 315,000 jobs in august, which did top economists' expectations, but it's below july's blowout numbers. the unemployment rate rose to 3.7% from 3.5%. as the labor force participation rate ticked up. average hourly grows rose by 3/10 of a percent. it's up 5.2% from a year ago. we also saw notable job gains in certain sectors. professional and business services added 68,000 jobs. health care employment increased by 48,000. and retail trade added 44,000. this jobs report is one of the key economic data that the

federal reserve will review as the central bank is battling the highest inflation in 40 years by raising interest rates. some economists say that they don't believe the august jobs numbers will change that chair jay powell's aggressive approach. >> i don't think this report changes that message at all given we're still so out of whack. if job openings held at the july levels, even with the higher number of people seeking jobs in the month of august, we would still be at 1.9 job openings per worker when the fed is looking to be more balanced at 1 to 1. >> the august consumer price report due later this month. that's a big inflation report. and the next fed meeting is scheduled for september 20th and 21st. cnn, new york. and that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber. i'll be back with just a moment can more news. please do stay with us. o 20 gallons of water.
