7:01 am
you are live in the cnn newsroom. we are monitoring two storms this morning. we begin in florida where in 24 counties there is a state of emergency. tropical storm ian is moving through the caribbean and could grow to a category 3 hurricane before it hits florida next week. >> residents from the florida panhandle to the florida keys are being told to prepare for storm surges, hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall. meanwhile, hurricane henfiona i moving through eastern canada. you see the driving wind downing trees and breaking power lines. in novema scotia 300,000 customs are without power. residents in four provinces face severe weather as the storm moves north.
7:02 am
cnn's allison chinchar and paolo suarez are joining us now. allison, we will get an update on tropical storm ian, which seems to be getting stronger? >> yes, a first look now that the sun is starting to come up over the visible satellite. we can look at tropical storm ian. it's starting to come together and look a little bit more like we traditionally expect a tropical system to look like. sustained winds 45 miles per hour, gusting up to 60 miles per hour. tropical storm watches for jamaica and hurricane watches for the cayman islands. the reason for the difference is we anticipate this storm is going to strengthen into a category 1 hurricane by the time it crosses over the cayman islands, likely late sunday or early monday morning. then it will further strengthen up to likely a category 2 by the time it makes its way to cuba. the main reason is all of this very warm water, these sea surface temperatures are in the mid-to-upper 80s in that region.
7:03 am
it's also not just the surface. even as you start to go down tens of feet, that ocean heat content is also extremely warm. that's that fuel that that storm will need to intensify over the next several days. once it gets into the gulf of mexico hitting again a lot of that very warm air and also, too, you are looking at very llow sheer, there suspect much sheer in the area. we do anticipate that storm will become a major hurricane as it enters the eastern gulf of mexico. as of right now anywhere from apalachicola to key west is a possibility for landfall. we will keep a close eye on it in the coming days. >> thank you so much. let's pivot to carlos suarez now who has been following the developments on this storm. carlos, it takes a lot for floridians to snap out of it and prepare. they usually shrug at a category 3 hurricane as you know. are folks worried about ian?
7:04 am
>> reporter: i think the hope at least from emergency officials right now is that folks take advantage of the fact that we are in a weekend. so they can get their preparations done ahead of time. we know that officials have asked folks all along florida's west coast as well as the florida keys to go ahead and wrap up their preparations by monday night. you are taking a look at some of those folks that are getting bottled water in the tampa area. now, later today authorities in the keys they are set to decide whether visitors and people who live in mobile wilhomes will be skod to evacuate. where ian makes landfall is unclear. the governor of florida declared a state of emergency for 24 counties and activated the national guard. parts of the florida keys, they are still rebuilding after hurricane irma hit in 2017, a category 4 storm, causing billions in damage and wiped away homes in the lower and middle keys. to boris. >> carlos suarez, thank you so
7:05 am
much. allison chinchar, as well. as we noted earlier. hurricane fiona is now a post-tropical colonia but it still is beautiful. canada's maritime provinces are seeing damaging winds and storm surge. we want to talk to somebody on the ground there now. joining us from the emergency management center is mike savage, the mayor of halifax, nova scotia. mayor, i imagine it's been a busy one so far. what have won seeing. >> it's been a wild night here this storm in anticipation of yesterday being called historic and a landmark storm. we have had hurricanes here in nova scotia in maritime canada before p but this is pretty bad. a lot of uprooted trees. power outages all over the place. and our bridges and our connections to transit are closed out. and so we're here in halifax.
7:06 am
we are starting to see the active part of this and we can do more damage assessment. our thoughts out to people who are going to be suffering this for a while yet. >> and so you are in the very, very early stages of planning the damage assessment. have there been reports of severe damage or does it seem to be mostly manageable stuff? >> well, there is some severe damage for sure. we have just found out about an apartment that had a roof collapse. that's 100 people that we have to evacuate to a comfort center. that means that folks who are going to go there to get their cellphones charged and things like that, we prefer they don't do that while we are moving people in for their comfort and safety. our roads crews, parks and rec folks are looking to see here early this morning. we saw trees down and power lines. of course, we encourage people to be safe and stay away from
7:07 am
those and not try to clean it up yourself. if you see something call it into the 311 center in halifax. >> at this stage given what you have seen, what gives you the most cause for concern? >> well, we were concerned about a number of things. we have a lot of construction happening in halifax. so we have construction debris, cranes. we seepm to have done okay. folks homeless living in encampments. we moved them to comfort shelters to provide them a place to be secure to get food and water. and we're a coastal community. so we always worry with the kind of wave action that we're seeing. storm surge is very dramatic along the atlantic coast here. so people living in the coastal communities are always have to be particularly careful. of course, just people need to have been prepared to have the
7:08 am
provisions they need for poten potentially two or three days or longer. without power, people are taking that seriously. we said this would be a difficult storm. the folks here, all of our agencies, including our utilities and nova scotia power, halifax water working together effectively and doing everything they can to make sure that we survive this and come through and i appreciate all the work they are doing. >> certainly we are glad to here folks have heeded the warnings, too. mayor, climate scientists pointed out it's more likely that areas in the northeast like yours are going to experience an increase in storms like this one as waters get warmer and hurricane season becomes more intense. is that something that, as the mayor of a coastal city, you have taken into account? is your city trying to take steps now to prepare for that into the future? >> yeah, you are breaking up a little bit on me. i think your question was these storms are happening more often.
7:09 am
we watch storms come up with the caribbean and southern u.s. coming up the eastern seaboard and then they generally hit colder water. with climate change these are becoming more frequent, as are the volatility of winter storms, snow. we are taking measures in hat fax to protect our city. we have a good climate plan. but absolutely. we are getting more of these and we have to be ready for them. >> mayor mike savage, we appreciate the time. we hope that despite some of the severe damage you described, everyone in your area is alive and well. thanks so much for the time. >> thank you very much for your time. >> cnn has learned details of a secret court battle being waged by former president trump's attorneys. they are fighting to keep a federal grand jury from getting information from trump's inner circle about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
7:10 am
>> three attorneys appeared at court on thursday in the most aggressive effort yet by trump to assert executive and attorney-client privileges. marshall cohen has been tracking this. it's, obviously, a secret court battle, but what can you tell us about what cnn's reporting has unveiled? >> good morning. yes, this is a fresh new information about the january 6th investigation. of course, as we know, there is at the committee in congress, but this is the much more serious and possibly consequential criminal investigation. so as you mentioned, there is a grand jury conducting this investigation in d.c. and this dispute is over what information they are going to get. on one side you have the justice department that's pushing for testimony and expansive testimony from some key trump white house officials. on the other side of this dispute you have former president trump's lawyers who are trying to shield parts of that testimony arguing that it
7:11 am
is privileged and should be out of bounds for the criminal investigation. you've got basically some players here that were really important to the attempts to overturn the election. you have people in the white house, possibly lawyers. we don't know for sure which people this implicates, but these are folks we know that have testified already to the grand jury and declined to answer some questions based on privilege and that might be the privilege that the justice department is trying to over come. pat cipollone, patrick philbin and marc short and greg jacob who were senior advisors to vice president pence. we don't know for sure these are the people involved in this dispute. however, the justice department very well might be trying to overcome the privilege considerations regarding people just like these because they have critical information, they were often in the room with trump during key moments during
7:12 am
the presidential transition that, as we know, got pretty rocky. >> appreciate you taking us through that. and still to come this morning, the race to the midterms is heating up with less than 50 days until election day. tough words coming from president biden as he sharpens his message. and john fetterman getting ready to speak at a rally in philadelphia as questions still surround his health. plus, a new report shedding light on the racial disparity in the nfl when it comes to head coaches. how black coaches face more hurdles than their white counterparts later on in "newsroom." stay with us. new science shows it gets in between teeth to destroy 5x more plaquque abovove the gumline than floss. for a cleaner, healthier mouth. listerine. feel the whoa! ♪ today, mymy friend, you did it... ♪ today you took delicious centrum multigummies and took one more step towards taking charge of your health.

7:17 am
new direction to help republicans take the country back but president biden is blasting the plan saying it's short on specifics. cnn capitol hill reporter melanie zanona has the latest. >> it's my honor to introduce the next speaker of house kevin mccarthy. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy has a plan to win the house majority and with it the coveted speaker's gavel flanked by members of his own party, including some of the most controversial, he unveiled an agenda on friday, a picture of unity from a sheet metal plant in the pittsburgh suburbs. this just weeks before the november elections. >> so you know what? we've created a commitment to america. [ applause ] >> reporter: absent from the scene, red hats and donald trump gear. typically staples of republican events. >> there are policies that president trump had that worked well, securing the border. we watched economic policies.
7:18 am
but this isn't about an individual. this is about the nation. >> reporter: mick pushing the former president's maga policies. republican leaders laid out their pitch to solve some of the most pressuring issues, including inflation. >> a direct result of the failed policies of one party democratic rule in washington and there is a better way. >> reporter: border security. >> we would like to know how many people have come across our border illegally. don't you want to know? >> reporter: school policies. >> ensure women only compete in women's sports. >> reporter: a pledge to investigate what they call abuses by the biden administration. >> house republicans are committed to exposing and holding accountable those in our government who have come after we the people. >> reporter: president joe biden wasting no time pushing back, attacking republicans as extreme and arguing their plan isn't serious. >> kevin mccarthy went to pennsylvania and unveiled what he calls a commitment to
7:19 am
america. that's a thin series of policy goals with little or no detail. >> reporter: one issue that did not coming up at the pittsburgh rollout was abortion. that of course is an issue that democrats have made a central plank of their midterm messaging. but republicans have really run away from the issue. they have struggled to talk about abortion in the wake of roe v. wade being overturned and in fact their policy platform only has a passing reference to the issue saying that the republicans are going to protect the lives you have unborn children and mothers. but gop leaders have not said which abortion bills, if any, they would put on the floor if they win the house majority. >> appreciate it. thank you very much. president biden is heading to his home in wilmington, delaware, this weekend after rallying democrats in washington and sharpening his rhetoric ahead of the midterm elections. >> the democratic national committee event, he blasted the republicans' midterm agenda calling it a thin series of
7:20 am
policy goals. he highlighted his accomplishments so far and he promised to headache abortion rights legal, protect social security and pass an assault weapons ban if democrats keep control of congress. let's take you live to wilmington, delaware, with priscilla alvarez. bring us up to speed on what president biden is trying to relay to voters just 45 days out from the midterm elections. >> reporter: president biden is trying to capitalize on what he says are political wins in his administration as well as illustrate the difference between democrats and republicans just ahead of the midterm elections. and as you mentioned during that speech at a dnc event yesterday he touted his policy goals. he also talked about the recovery, the economy, and laid out what he said democrats would do if they were to win, protect social security, pass an assault
7:21 am
weapons ban and codify roe v. wade that. is a central message that the democrats are trying to get across, what they would do on abortion and he really underscored what the stakes are if republicans win. take a listen. >> republicans win control of the congress, aboring will be banned and by the way it will be initially banned but if they win congress i will veto it. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: biden also reiterated criticisms that he said before about calling out republicans for supporting the big lie as well as, quote, maga republicans saying the whole republican party, but there are republicans who have pledged their loyalty to donald trump. of course, all of this coming as republicans go after his agenda and in particular border security, something that the republicans have elevated attacks the last week by moving migrants out of state, out of republican states, to democratic cities. of course, all of this really heating up in the days leading up to the midterm election and
7:22 am
the president himself increase his political activity. boris. >> thank you very much. and to philadelphia now where democratic senate nominee john fetterman is holding a rally. he has committed to debate his republican opponent dr. oz on october 25th. that's less than two weeks before election day. fetterman says he is running a perfectly normal campaign, but he is facing lingering questions about his health after you may recall he suffered a major stroke in may. let's take you there now with cnn national political reporter dan mayor ka in philadelphia. what are we expecting to hear? >> reporter: it's been traditional fare from the democratic nominee since he suffered that stroke in may, took two months off and has re-emerging the last few weeks to months. get back on the campaign trail,
7:23 am
doing events. those events have been relatively short speeches, focused on attacking oz and applause lines. they haven't been sweeping policy indictments of him, more focused on oz than other things. this is pretty friendly territory for fetterman. philadelphia county, joe biden won with 81% of the vote in 2020, the most lopsided county in the commonwealth for democrats. if you drill down further, this zip code went 96% for biden. so why is fetterman here? it's all about turnout and excitement and making sure people are as energized for john fetterman as they were for joe biden. so far, if you look at the race, the map of pennsylvania, you see kind of a sea of red with blue dots. the bluest where we are right here. john fetterman's team is well aware they have to keep the dots blue and they have been running the campaign where they have gone to some red counties trying to win over trump supporters. so far this race focused as much
7:24 am
on policy issues like inflation, the economy and abortion as it reall well as oz and fetterman. fetterman spent the summer attacking oz for living in new jersey across the river here. oz responded by questioning fetterman's health, raising questions about whether he will debate. sometimes in snide tones. and that has really colored this entire race. why this area is important also is that oz made the case that as the nominee he would be better positioned than other republicans, possibly more conservative republicans, to win over places like this in counties around philadelphia. today we will see does john fetterman have a tailored message to folks who are reliable democratic voters that can cut into possibly that appeal that oz may offer here in philadelphia and the surrounding area. boris. >> dan merica in philadelphia. thank you so much.

. several residents from jackson, mississippi, filed a class-action lawsuit against the city, mayor and several others regarding the ongoing water crisis that left tens of thousands of people without safe and running water. but the lawsuit alleges that jackson's water supply has been neglected for decades and the
7:30 am
city's water was not fit for human consumption before the latest crisis due to high levels of lead and other contaminants. of course, very low water pressure. here with me now is jackson residents rain becker who is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. an attorney mark, who is representing the plaintiffs in this class-action lawsuit. first off, thank you to you both for being here. and, rain, i want to start with you because you have been through a tremendous amount of hardship. you have a 7-year-old son who suffers from serious medical conditions. i understand he has a feeding tube. so, obviously, access to clean water could mean the difference between life and death for him. with that said, how did you manage during this last water crisis in jackson where there has been no running water for tens of thousands of people, and those who had it, the water was tinged in this brown color coming out of the taps?
7:31 am
>> you know, it's been difficult. access to clean sanitary water absolutely necessary for my son. and without it that would be catastrophic for him. so i have had to go to distribution sites and get cases of water. thankfully, i have been able to do that. if i didn't have that, my other option would be to go to the hospital and get sterile water for him. it's absolutely something he has to have. >> what was your day like? i was in jackson just for a few days and i saw dozens and dozens of people waiting in line for hours just to get cases of water. but you have a son with a terminal condition. what were the days like for you? you would stay in line and bring the water and how woo take care of your son with his feeding
7:32 am
tube? >> somehow i just managed it all. it is difficult. yes, there have been times where you wait in line for one to three hours. sometimes it's not that long. and you just do what you have to do. i'm just thankful that the water has been provided. i'm very grateful for that. >> so, mark, the lawsuit names several city officials, including jackson's mayor and infrastructure engineering company. why are you holding them responsible, and what exactly is the lawsuit asking for? >> this situation is a result of years of neglect, mismanagement, bad decision-making by government officials and these private companies were hired do various things to improve the water system and they just didn't do it. the purpose of our lawsuit is to get clean water to the residents of jackson.
7:33 am
in 2022 for a major american city, a state capital, the to not have clean running water is shameful. >> so the boil water advisory, which was in place for more than 40 days, and i'm just shaking my head about what you must have been through, rain, that was lifted days ago. do you trust the water, rain, coming out of the tap now? do your neighbors? >> no. absolutely not. and you see it all over the city right now. even when you go to a restaurant, they are using canned sodas. they are not giving out tap water. >> how has this water crisis complicated your life? because it also impacts your job and what you do. >> it does, correct. so my main income is washing laundry. and so i didn't have water for two days. so when the water stopped, my income stopped essentially.
7:34 am
i deliver food. but the water crisis has affected the restaurants here. so i have to go out farther to make some type of money and deliver food. >> wow. i appreciate you telling us your story, rain and mark, for coming on, to explain the lawsuit with us. all the best to you guys. best of luck. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. and we should note that cnn has reached out to the defendants named in the lawsuit. when reached the mayor's office declined to comment. cnn heard back from the office of former public works director keisha powell. her office told cnn, quote, miss powell would prefer to keep the focus on the team working on the crisis in jackson and at this time is declining requests for interviews. the seamans corporation which are also cited in the lawsuit say they cannot comment on active litigation. coming up, a new report

7:39 am
in sustainable finance by 2030. because it takes everything to reach zero poverty. ♪ ♪ . new reporting in "the washington post" this week outlines the nfl's failures at promoting diversity among the highest ranks. specifically, the league's lack of black head coaches. the post-detailed despite performing as well as their white counterparts, black head coaches spend moore time as mid-level assistants, interim jobs infederal of full-time posts and face nor scrutiny. they get fired more often than white head coaches with the same record. this season there are three black head coaches in the nfl, the same number there were in 20 03 when the league ep act the the rooney rule.
7:40 am
the league in a statement to the post says they are focused on d everything they can to get to right. let's get perspective from a former black nfl head coach, romeo crennel joins us. we're grateful you are sharing part of your weekend with us. you spoke with t"the washington post" for this report. why do you think the nfl has had such a hard time congressing this issue? >> well, thanks for having me, first of all. but i think that it goes back a long way, you know, because of what's happened in this country starting like 400 years ago. a lot of attitudes were set in place and then we have been trying to work through it since then. you would like to think that it would go faster than it has gone, but in my lifetime i have seen some things society-wise
7:41 am
that were not great for us. but now it's improving. it's gotten better. but we would like for it to move faster. and i think that's the case with coaches in the nfl. for a while there were no black players in the nfl. then we got black players. all right. then we eventually got black coaches, particularly assistant coaches. in that pipeline, that chain of command pipeline from the owner to the general manager to the head coach to the defensive coordinators, offensive coordinators, assistant coaches, special teams coaches, if we can get more black coaches in that pipeline, then we will get more exposure. and i think that the big thing that is that exposure with ownership and management, the guys who make the decisions about the hiring of black coaches, then i think that we can see more progress.
7:42 am
>> sir, tony dungy, the superwinning former coach of the indianapolis colts, he told "the post" that often black head coaches that experience racism from owners and others in the league, they keep quiet because they don't want revealing that to get in the way of future opportunities. i'm wondering, how a long career in the nfl. you only retired last year. did you have experiences that you felt were racist or discriminatory? >> well, i wouldn't say in my case that that happened to me. but i have seen instances, you know, where it could be considered to be racism. and that's the thing that society and coaches are kind of fighting for, is an equal opportunity. i don't think that black coaches want anything given to them. what they want is they want an equal opportunity to be
7:43 am
considered equally on a level playing field so that if they are qualified for the job, then they have a great opportunity of getting the job. and the best example i can give you of that is mike tomlin with pittsburgh, who in that job came open, no one felt like he even had a chance to be considered, all right? but went in and he had an interview and some of that had to do with the rooney rule, but he got to interview and he did a great job in the interview and he got the job. and he still has the job. i don't think he has had a losing season since he has gotten the job. and so that capability is out there. so black coaches, we want the opportunity to be able to step in and run a team and show that we can be leaders as well. >> sir, i'm glad you mentioned mike tomlin. he is one of the most successful
7:44 am
coaches of the modern era in the nfl. but i remember as a dolphins fan he was in the running to be our head coach and at the time it was reported that leadership within the miami dolphins said that he was too, quote, urban for our team. so there is an example right there of somebody who proved to be very successful that was kept from becoming a head coach for reasons that are, let's say, at the purview of ownership. how do we fix this problem from a league perspective, do you think? >> well, i know the league has made attempts to get exposure for the coordinators, to ownership, and they are continuing to make moves, adjustment to the rooney rule, for instance, that every team has to interview two minority candidates, and i think that they also have to hire a minority or a female on the offensive side of the ball. and offensive side of the ball
7:45 am
because it seems like the offense is what management looks at because they deal with the quarterback and the quarterback is the face of the team. the head coach is the face of the operation. and so if we can get more people in that pipeline, more offensive coordinators, then i think that we'll have a chance to show that we are more than capable. i mean, in tampa bay we have a young man, a quarterback down there, who is an offensive coordinator, he is working with one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he is doing a great job. so the ability is there. we just need to have the opportunities and on an equal level playing field. >> yeah, i look forward to next season and seeing if byron leftwich, the offensive coordinator you mentioned, gets a head coaching job. he certainly deserves one, as do
7:46 am
others. sir, we have to leave it there. romeo crennel, thank you for the time, sir. >> thank you for having me. an end of an era playing out in london. as roger federer wrapped up his career playing with long-time rival rafael nadal. how it came to an end. that's next. look at that. plus, this programming note. earlier we talk to one the plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against jackson, mississippi, officials over a recent water crisis. later today the mayor of jackson will be on cnn. he is one of the officials named in that lawsuit. that interview airs later today at noon. back after this. formula can help reduce e the rk of dry amd progression. ask your doctor now about an arededs 2 supplement.
