why it's important we not do it. the point may be no less then a national survival as a people can live together honorably. if we let lying, cheating, and stealing become an accepted way of life, it's not just a few dollars that will be lost. it is the spirit of the country that will be lost. the decision is ours. >> welcome, joining us here in the united states, and all around the world. you are watching cnn newsroom. just ahead, at least 10 people stabbed to death in canada. many more were injured across multiple crime scenes. we will have a live report on the hunt for these two men. it is beginning to look a lot like midterm season, as president biden and donald trump crisscross battleground states.
11:01 pm
we will look at the messages they are bringing, and whose a strategy is likely to work. >> extreme weather from coast- to-coast in the united states, from flooding in georgia, to deadly wildfires in california. we will have details from the cnn world weather center. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with rosemary church. we begin in canada, where a manhunt is underway for two suspects in connection with a deadly mass stabbing. police in saskatchewan say the attacks killed at least 10 people, in more than a dozen crime scenes, at least 15 people were taken to hospitals for injuries, and leaders of the james smith cremation have declared a state of emergency.
11:02 pm
they identified the two suspects as damien sanderson and myles sanderson. they are considered armed and dangerous, and believed to be traveling in a black nissan rogue. there is a saskatchewan license plate. >> we are taking all steps possible to track these individuals, and any information that comes in from the public or other sources. >> it is safe to say that someone knows the whereabouts of the suspects. someone knows information that might be helpful to police. this is a time where we are asking the public to reach out and help. >> the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, colvey text horrific and heartbreaking, authorities are urging residents to shelter in place. joining me now, by phone, is lisa joy. she is a crime reporter, with dr. ca, and leads, i do want to
11:03 pm
ask you what more you are learning about what happened, here, and the latest on this manhunt that is underway. >> well, it's an absolute shock. they are living in fear as the police search for these suspects. the declared a state of emergency. they have been going door to door, with these searches, and the nearby first nations communities have increased security. one young woman said that the two suspects broke into her home, kicked down the door into her younger sister's room and she said she is glad her younger sister was not home. she also said they stole her brothers car. some residents have named family members they have lost in the stabbings. there are confirmed the names of the victims. families have said that one victim was an older man who was a community bus driver. another resident said that 11- year-old boy was stabbed trying
11:04 pm
to save his mother. again, that is not yet confirmed. there have been several reports by community members that children were among the victims. one woman said she knew the two suspects and claims that they may have been found in china. they have been cited by fairies , impact teams, and in manitoba. they dispatched and one from new china. several emergency rooms accepted the patience, from the university hospital, activating code orange, alert for mass casualty incident. myles sanderson was actually wanted by saskatoon police for being unlawfully at large. >> lisa joy, thank you for bringing us up to date. we will
11:05 pm
of course continue to follow this manhunt in the aftermath of this horrendous mess. thank you for bringing us up-to-date. we are nine weeks away from the critical midterm elections in the united states. americans will head to the polls to decide who controls congress, and top leadership. president joe biden is headed to the battleground state of wisconsin in the coming hours, and from there he will head back to another key states, pennsylvania, days after delivering a fiery speech in philadelphia, where he warned that donald trump and his closest followers are trying to undermine u.s. democracy. the former president also made a trip to pennsylvania. he was in the state, saturday, to promote doug mastery on l and the republican nominee for governor and senate candidate dr. oz. joe johns has more on mr. biden's key visits, ahead of
11:06 pm
the midterms. the president heads out to labor day celebrations in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, as well as milwaukee, wisconsin. he is expected to talk about his infrastructure act and his inflation reduction act that was passed, last month. later in the week the president is expected to fly over to central ohio to attend a groundbreaking. all of these places are battleground states, and labor day is traditionally the time when campaigns start tearing down and voters start to pay more attention to the candidates. joe biden is not on the ballots, but all of his travel does indicate what the biden people may be thinking as we head into the midterm elections. it was originally thought the president would not be doing that much travel, including the
11:07 pm
issue of inflation as well as the president's approval ratings. still, now that people look at it more closely, there have been some changes to the challenges. they have eased up and there is some hope among democrats that this election will not be as bad for them as first thought. democrats are well aware of the fact that first-term president do tend to lose seats in their first midterm election. joe johns, cnn, the white house. >> now is ron brownstein, senior political analyst and with the atlantic. >> he called trams make america great again philosophy "semi fascism" but he meant that it was those who call for violence and denied the election results and saturday nights, donald trump called joe biden an enemy of the state. it's getting nasty. will the message resonate.
11:08 pm
>> i think it will resonate at this midterm election. whether they see it as democracy or authoritarianism, was to say. they have to conceptualize that idea. i do think that what has happened changed the landscape in the u.s. sense this summer. for most of our history, it has been a traditional framework of a mid term. as a referendum on the party in power, a vote on how you think the democrats and the white house and congress are doing, and do something that is much more of a choice and voters are focusing on what democrats have or have not done over there 18
11:09 pm
months, or so, in power, but what republicans would do if returned to power and part of that is the visibility of trump amid his legal and political troubles. >> midterm elections, as you say, are usually a measure of the incumbent president. joe biden is trying to make this about the former president. is that smart politics or could it backfire? >> that is clearly smart politics. the party in power always want to make the midterm choice, not a referendum. it's hard to do. over the last generation in the u.s., one of the most powerful patterns in politics, has been the growing correlation between the way people assess or feel about the incumbent president, and whether they will vote for congressional candidates. if you go back in the 1980s, the share of voters, and vote
11:10 pm
against this for candidates, to as high as 90% in 2018. that number is going back down. for the first time in decades, republicans are winning a much smaller share of voters, who disapprove of biden than we have been seeing. because of democrats and events, like the supreme court decision causing more voters to not only express their intention , solely by how they feel about what biden is doing, but how they feel about what republicans might do. >> it'll be interesting to see if they can keep that momentum going. donald trump is using the fbi search of his mar-a-lago home to rally support, saying "we will not be silenced," an approach that probably won't help him, legally. what about politically?
11:11 pm
>> that has been his argument on every controversy that has faced him, every accusation, has been that they are attacking me to silence you. there is a piece of the republican coalition that very much response to that message. the superpower, politically, is his ability to juice turnout among voters that are the most, the most uneasy about the way the country is changing demographically, culturally, and economically. that is nonurban, non-college, and evangelical whites. on the other hand, trump, resurfacing in this way, and broadcasting grievances so loudly is a reminder, a wake-up call to the coalition that turned out in large numbers to be in him in 2020. there democrats have calculated that there are over 90 million separate individuals who came out to vote against trump in 2016, 2018, or 2020. if they can activate what even
11:12 pm
two thirds of that coalition that is, they can have a much better midterm than the president's party usually does. by and large, while they welcomed the increased turnout that trump can generate, i think that republicans would prefer a world in which he was receiving, again, and the focus was on biden. what are the odds we will see that before trump proceeding, before the november election? >> many thanks. i always like to get your analysis on all things political. i appreciate it. now, to catastrophic flooding. here in the u.s. state of georgia, this was the scene, northwest of atlanta, were flash floods overwhelmed roads, homes, and businesses. this gas station was completely flooded. it is not over yet. more rain is expected through tuesday. georgia governor, brian kemp, issued a state of emergency. and northern california, wildfire has killed two people.
11:13 pm
officials say they died as a result of the mill fire in the town of weed on sunday. the size of the fire has almost doubled since friday. it burned through more than 4000 acres, or about 1600 hectares. officials say 50 structures have been destroyed and 1000 people have been forced to evacuate. is suffocating heat wave is making fires in california and other parts of the western u.s. worse. nearly 50 million people are under heat alerts. intense, dangerous temperatures, gripping areas from southern california to the east in arizona and north to idaho. it could get even hotter into tuesday. let's bring in our meteorologist, jean norman, joining us now. unbelievable, flooding, fires, heat wave, more extreme weather for the united states. what are you seeing? >> unfortunately i don't have
11:14 pm
good news. labor day in the u.s. is supposed to be the traditional and of summer but this heat wave in the west could be the longest lasting of the entire summer. look at these temperatures on sunday. i hundred and 24 in death valley. california, nevada, wyoming, even into idaho's our records. we had a handful of places in wyoming that set their all-time highest september temperature record. advisories, excessive heat warnings, will continue to today, probably extended into tuesday. look at these numbers. triple digits in salt lake city, las vegas, bakersfield, and death valley. if that happens tuesday, that could break a new record. the heat will spread it to the east for the next couple days. wednesday and thursday could yet be hotter for more people. we will get 175 temperature records set. hot in the west, and in the east we have the opposite.
11:15 pm
we have rain, with showers and thunderstorms that are not moving quickly. that is why flood watches remain in effect in the green areas you see. watch as the rain builds from the south and heads into the northeast. they need the rain. without a doubt. they been under drought for a long time, but unfortunately, they could see from 1-3 inches and that could, perhaps, exacerbate a flood right. i would be labor day without these storms. thankfully they are in the atlantic. >> thank you. quite an update. depreciated. still to come, we will learn who is replacing boris johnson as britain's next prime minister. the details from london, just ahead. between the high interest, the fefees... i felt trapped. debt, debt, debt. so i broke up with my credit card debt and consolididated it into a low-rate persrsonal loan from sofi.

11:20 pm
finance minister richie select. this is two months after johnson announced he would be leaving the post. joining me is rare european affairs commentator dominic thomas. >> thank you. >> is conservative party will soon vote to decide who will be the next prime minister. who is better equipped to leave the uk? >> great question. it's not my decision. mps have weighed in on that. the membership, which is important to underline, only represents less than 1% of the full british electorate. they both have a range of credentials. that the former chancellor, with expertise in the, finance and mistrust has worked as foreign secretary.
11:21 pm
as they went into the race, the one issue there was was he stepped away from boris johnson's government and precipitated the downfall of boris johnson. this trust was seen as more of a loyalist and more as somebody that the conservative party felt they could lie rely on to push the agenda forward as they had toward a general election. i think that, ultimately, that is what swayed the voters and that she will likely be the new party leader and therefore prime minister. >> what will the new leader inherit and what are the major challenges ahead for the new prime minister. >> the new prime minister has got the conservative party. we have been talking about this since breck set. the fourth prime minister, and the conservative party. the electorate have been tired, exhausted from these elections.
11:22 pm
the most significant change is that when boris johnson became prime minister, he became prime minister having won a single issue election, getting brexit done. the electorate fatigued. the new prime minister comes in a different aftermath. they are facing serious issues. roughly inflation, recession, post brexit and the energy crisis. they will shake the agenda. unless that leader can demonstrate to the british people, which is very different , then trying to be elected by less than 1%. it'll be an uphill struggle as they had into a general election. >> what happens now to boris johnson? what comes next? >> he is still an mp and faces a range of a parliamentary
11:23 pm
investigations which will be controversial if they decide to not go along with it. that will be important for him, short term. long-term, there is a realization he was damaging the brand and it was unsustainable to keep it going. he may have political ambitions but i do not feel like he will get too much tread with that, because of the fact the british people are so upset with the way in which the news has come out about how he behaved during the covid lockdown and so on. ultimately, outside of politics is where we are most likely to see him crop up again. >> could his constant presence force the conservatives hand? >> i think that is an issue, moving forward. as you have seen, instability in the party has been enabled by a couple things. they have a substantial majority. they can do whatever they wish
11:24 pm
in terms of the leaders. we saw how theresa may fared, and then boris johnson. it's hard to see liz truss as someone who survives for a long time in the party. at the same time, the opposition is also divided. unless they can come together with a more united front, this kind of behavior will be, essentially, maintained as the situation goes forward. therefore, the lack of unity in the party, something the new leader is going to have to address is very much along with the lighting dividing lines of the hard-core supporters of brexit, who pushed the agenda of which boris johnson is a hero for that branch of the party. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. the people of chile have spoken with nearly all ballots counted. the majority of voters rejected

11:34 pm
five people have been executed in gaza. the first such executions in more than five years. what are we learning about that lexi >> we hear this that there were don executions. five people were killed, three were charged with crimes like murder and robbery, but two were accused of providing information to israel. they say some of this information, likely lead to resistance fighter steps, militant deaths, and some of these people provided information in terms of where rockets were being launched from. it was the first such executions in gaza since 2017. this is not something that happens often. human rights groups have long criticized them for how they carry out these executions and the fact that they do not happen under what should be palestinian law with the authority of the palestinian president. we do not know anything about how these trials took place.

school is back in session across united states. many districts face a critical teacher shortage, rising teacher burnout, and retirement, have left them scrambling to fill roles. burnout among teachers from kindergarten through the 12th grade is higher than in any u.s. industry, right now. it has been made worse by the politicizing of schools, worsening student behavior, during covid, stagnant wages, and concerns about safety. nevada's clark county school
11:46 pm
district resumed classes with more than 1400 job vacancies, some of them, for teachers. we have the principal at canyon springs high school in clark county, nevada. he joins me from north las vegas. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. it's good to be on. >> i want to start by looking at relative and shocking numbers, according to a survey by the american federation of teachers, the country's second largest teachers union. 79% of educators were dissatisfied with their jobs back in june. in february, a survey by the national education association, america's largest labor union, estimated that 55% of teachers were considering leaving. so, why do you think teachers are so unhappy with their jobs,
11:47 pm
this year, and why are so many of them considering changing to a different career path? >> we can all agree the pandemic has had a terrible impact on many families, many professions, throughout the world. educators have had to pay and adjust several versions of the teaching style, from face-to- face, the hybrid, which is a blended, half in school, have at home, the fully at school, dealing with connectivity issues and technology that some of our most is in french i'd disenfranchise families have. it's an overwhelming challenge and the stressors that went along with that, the mental health and social, emotional health, of not only teachers but families and students. it played a tremendous impact on educators which made them feel this way and administrators included. >> it is mainly the pandemic,
11:48 pm
rather than, perhaps, then violence, fear of school shootings, and other issues. >> the pandemic has certainly brought surface to a lot of the issues, to the forefront. clearly, there are other prevailing issues we have had in the u.s. education system, rising increase of violence in schools, clearly when you turn on the news, there are unfortunately examples of gun violence that plague the profession. however, all of this wires exacerbated because of the pandemic. >> with so many shortages in teachers in your state and across the united states, what would get many of these teachers back into the classroom? what would it take to keep them in their jobs before they decide to walk away? >> i do not want to oversimplify it but it comes down to money and work conditions.
11:49 pm
the salaries, we need to start increasing the teachers base salary. i know we have made some big strides. in our states, our superintendent in clark county took strides to talk and offer in sentences incentives and bonuses. it is scratching the surface with inflation a little over at 9% in the country. some of these bonuses become a wash. there have to be changes to salaries and work conditions. we are having to deal with student issues, not just the disciplinary issues, but a lot of kids are coming in with social and emotional baggage and teachers are having to pivot and adjust with that, with the demands of, of course, increasing student achievement and ensuring students are mastering the appropriate grade level content. these demands are greater than ever before. it truly is time that we start addressing not only the dollar
11:50 pm
amount that we pay educators, but looking to approve improvements to how we can make this something in which the next generation fills these gaps. >> with these startling shortages in your state and across the country, how will some of these positions be filled? will you have to consider taking on some people who are experts in a particular field but perhaps, not trained teachers? >> not only in our state, but states across the united states, we have used alternative route to licensures. individuals that have practical experience in the field, whether they might be a writer, or an accountant. we are looking at making them english teachers and math teachers or a scientist that works the water district that in may want to become a biology teacher or chemist and giving these routes. these are big band-aids,
11:51 pm
