>> whether on center stage or in the background, these are just some of the people who work every day to shake up old ideas and lift us all up. i hope they inspire you in ways big and small to be a champion for change as well. i'm dr. sanjay gupta. thanks for watching. ♪ ♪ 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" -- just hours after hurricane fiona crashed into eastern canada, there are new tropical storm concerns, this time in the caribbean as ian has florida in its sights. protests inside russia against president vladimir putin's push to mobilize thousands more troops.
12:01 am
it's being called the mission to save humanity. we'll take you inside nasa's plan to crash into an asteroid . we begin by tracking two dangerous storm systems. first, tropical storm ian churning across the warm, energizing waters of the caribbean right now. the latest forecast shows it strengthening to a category 4 hurricane over the gulf of mexico before slams into florida next week. it could be the first major hurricane to hit the state in four years. president joe biden has declared a federal emergency in the state. florida governor ron desantis declared a state of emergency as well. residents from the florida panhandle to the florida keys are being urged to prepare for storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and heavy rain. >> we want everyone to ensure
12:02 am
that their emergency equipment, their hurricane shutters, their battery-operated radios, battery-powered, that they're all in good working order and that sufficient emergency supplies are on hand. seven days of perishable food, enough water. >> fiona is now a post-tropical cyclone and continues to move through eastern canada. hurricane-force winds battered the mare times as the storm destroyed homes, downed trees, knocking out pour to hundreds of thousands of recess dens. prime minister justin trudeau offered his reaction earlier. >> we're thinking first and foremost of the people who have had a terrifying past 12 hours. people who have seen their homes washed away, seen the winds rip schools, roofs off. as canadians, as we always do in times of difficulty, we will be there for each other. >> let's bring in cnn
12:03 am
meteorologist derek van dam. we're waiting on the 5:00 a.m. update from the national hurricane center on tropical storm eyan. what more can you tell us? >> i think the 5:00 a.m. is going to reveal a lot. what we know now is tropical storm ian is taking advantage of the favorable conditions, both in the ocean, the warm waters, and also the upper-level parts of the atmosphere. you're starting to see spiral banding on the cluster of thunderstorms. this is a satellite image showing that it's getting more strengthened, more organized. 50-mile-per-hour storm at the moment. again that 5:00 a.m. update will reveal so much, including where that center of circulation is. i'll explain why that's important in just a minute. they've dropped the tropical storm watch for jamaica, good news. hurricane warning for the cayman islands. hurricane watch for western cuba as well. hurricane hunters have been flying in and around the storm for the past several hours, trying to gather some vital information that meteorologists use to project the path, the forecast path of this particular storm. what they are trying to find is
12:04 am
the exact center of circulation, because that is going to be crucial on where this storm goes. the geography and miles play a big role in where this storm will finally make landfall. you can see the various computer models, the american global model and the european global model on either side of my tv screen. look at the time difference. thursday morning showing direct landfall to tampa, florida. the american model showing more a florida panhandle. but later into the weekend. so significant differences. we need to iron out the details. for sure we've got a strength ning hurricane coming up, potentially a major hurricane before reaching cuba, then entering into the eastern gulf of mexico. where it goes will determine who gets the most rain, wind, so many factors at play, including that development of this particular storm system as it heads north. >> we'll check in with you in the next hour, derek van dam, thank you so much. a week after hurricane fiona
12:05 am
made landfall in puerto rico, residents are getting help from dozens of out of state troopers. over 100 law enforcement officers from new york and new jersey flew to the island saturday to help with recovery efforts. more will be deployed in the coming weeks. more than 800,000 customers, about 53% of island residents, still don't have power. just over 1 million residents, about 80% now, have running water. thousands of homes are without power and two people are reported dead after a typhoon blasts central japan. the storm dumped an astounding amount of rain in one city, 417 millimeters, more than 16 inches. the heaviest daily rainfall on record fell in a number of places. floodwaters caused this riverbank to collapse and take a road with it. japan's bullet train service was suspended for a time but has since resumed. more people in russia are openly saying no to president vladimir putin's partial
12:06 am
mobilization, refusing to go to war in ukraine, in some cases fighting back. have a look. video out of siberia seems to show clouds clashing with officials trying to put draftees on buses as putin signs new laws hoping to boost the ranks of his military. the laws make it easier for foreigners in the military to apply for russian citizenship and pose tougher penalties for refusing to fight and disobeying orders. police are stepping up a crackdown on protests against the mobilization. an independent monitoring group says close to 1,500 people have been detained in recent days. russia's military is trying to put its own spin on things, showing conscripts being given weapons. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy calls it "a mobilization to graves." russia's foreign minister is defending the war in ukraine as a necessary operation aimed at eliminating security threats.
12:07 am
speaking at the u.n. general assembly, secretary lavrov also criticized the west for imposing sanctions on russia in response to the invasion. >> translator: washington is trying to turn the entire world into its own backyard. and the way of doing this is through unlawful unilateral sanctions. the cynicism here is obvious because these restrictions hit civilians. they prevent them from getting access to basic goods, including medication, vaccines, and food. >> lavrov claimed the west is trying to destroy russia and remove it from the world map. cnn's callie at wood has more on his remarks. >> reporter: during his address at the united nations, the russian foreign minister went after the west and repeated a number of lies about what is going on with regards to the ukraine war. he was asked during a press conference after his remarks what the goals of russia's invasion of ukraine are.
12:08 am
he didn't give a direct or revelatory answer. he referred only to remarks that had been made by president putin, telling reporters they should read more of what president putin says. he was also asked about the possible use of nuclear weapons in ukraine. we have seen president putin dangling that threat in recent days. and he said only that there is a doctrine for nuclear security in russia, and that would determine when nuclear weapons are used. there was a back and forth with a reporter who asked about china and potential pressure from china on russia to end the ukraine war. and listen to how he responded. >> translator: i'll asking you, are you coming under any pressure? i don't know, i'm asking you. >> no, no, no. you ask me about how do we feel under pressure from china? look. let's be honest -- >> are you coming under any pressure from china? >> look. you may -- you may tell your
12:09 am
readers, listeners, viewers, that i avoided to answer your question. >> reporter: we obviously didn't want to answer that question but we should note on saturday at the united nations, the chinese foreign minister also delivered remarks. one of the things he said is that the parties to the ukraine war conflict should prevent spill-over effects. he didn't specifically call out the russians, and it appears that even though president xi has expressed to president putin some concerns and questions about the war in ukraine, there is no real action on behalf of china to make russia try and end this war in ukraine. kylie atwood, cnn, the united nations. >> let's discuss with alexander balnov, carnegie endowment for international peace. we heard sergey lavrov there. obviously they have to frame this as a war against not just ukraine but the whole west in order to justify this
12:10 am
mobilization to their own citizens. are russians buying this? >> well, somehow, yes. because the russians were convinced by the means of propaganda and based on their experience of hardships, economic hardships, that the west are against them. and in general, many of russian citizens, ordinary russian citizens, do buy this. but they are more and more reluctant to participate. they were called to take part in offensive support of this invasion. now they are called into the army. that's totally different thing. te may support this narrative, but they don't want to participate. that's a clear difference. >> so given that, you know, the people who haven't been able to escape, those who will be forced to fight, how effective do you think they'll be given the lack of morale and fighting spirit so far we've seen from many russian professional soldiers?
12:11 am
>> i think, first of all, that the mobilization, which is not partial, it's gradual. partial means you have some creeling in numbers. no numbers were named officially. so as many soldiers you need, as many you call into the army, into the front. so the spirit is low. but it's the way to intimidate both ukrainians and the west, showing that now it's not a special operation on the periphery of national life anymore. now it's the whole nation fighting for its -- whatever. territory or what may be called russian territory or its honor and its glorious past or glorious future or whatever you call this. and that's a signal not to go
12:12 am
to -- well, we are escalating and we are raising it to make and sacrifice more so don't go farther. of course, the moral and the effect on these soldiers should be very clear. >> in the week sxwhs months past, when you and i have talked about the prospect of mobilization, it sounded as though, if i'm framing your argument right, that putin had sort of a deal with the rug people. that he would wage this so-called special operation, shield them from feeling the effects of sanctions, and importantly, wouldn't call them up to fight. well, now that sort of implicit promise has been broken. how much support will that cost putin? >> very much. of course, we can't have real numbers in an autocracy, a dictatorship, which russia is right now. you cannot have real figures. but of course his popularity,
12:13 am
just because the whole enterprise, the invasion was based on the idea that the professional soldiers and the government are doing their job, and the ordinary citizens are continuing their normal lives. and it's not anymore. and then if you take this in a broader context, well, the whole -- putin's autocracy is based on this idea of, we are taking from you your political freedoms, your political rights, in exchange of giving you some sort of respect, economic development, stability, and russia's glorious past. we in turn -- well, the pride. national pride. the national pride too. so it's broken now. it's obviously broken. because it's no stability when the people are called to fight. and it has or will have important consequences for
12:14 am
putin's relations with its base, its electoral base, i would say. >> i'm wondering about what those consequences might be. we also have reporting that there's dissent within the military that putin is calling some of the shots on the battlefield. so will he pay a price for this? or are we making too much of the cracks that are starting to appear? is his hold as firm as ever, do you think? >> we see some cracks, absolutely. we see huge queues on russian borders. we see incredible prices on any air tickets to any directions. we don't see queues or impressive queues before the military commissary. and many queues on borders with those countries who allow russians to cross the border from land.
12:15 am
kazakhstan, georgia. and again, the prices for tickets are incredibly high. many thousands of dollars to any direction, anywhere. that's the first appearance of this crack. then we have, of course, the army. then we have the mood. the mood is different. it's not relaxed and supportive, as it was before. we cannot hope for it -- well, revolution. russian dictatorship is very harsh. it can turn out easily. but it starts changing. >> we'll continue watching. appreciate all of your insights, alexander balnov, thanks so

much. south korea calls pyongyang's latest ballistic missile launch a, quote, significant provocative action harm peace and safety on the korean peninsula and calls on north korea to stop immediately. seoul says kim jong-un's regime fired a short-range ballistic missile into the waters off the east coast of the korean peninsula on sunday. north korea has conducted at least 19 missile launches this year. this latest one comes just ahead of planned military exercises between the u.s. and south korea and visits to the region by politicians including kamala harris. history made but possibly at the cost of another party labeled far-right coming to power. a live report from rome next. keeping g kids together here, at places like the lunch table. where they can share who they truly are.

let me go, let me go! >> the tragic death of a young iranian woman in police custody is resonating far beyond the run. solidarity rallies around the world with more planned sunday. we may never know exactly why mahsa amini was arrested by
12:21 am
iran's notorious morality police who enforce the country's slaumtic dress code. it could have been as trivial as a lock of hair that was visible. such draconian restrictions seem wildly out of place in the modern world. chopping off one's hair in public has become a potent symbol of defiance toward iran's hardline regime. cnn's salma abdelaziz joins us from london. >> reporter: as you mentioned there, kim, these protests, really arguably bolder and bigger than anything iran has seen in years. it's gone way beyond calls about the morality police and really come down to these demonstrators demanding serious changes. some of them even demanding -- hearing them chanting "death to the dictatdictator," demanding d of islamic rule in iran. you are looking at some extraordinary scenes playing out across the country. friday, 40 cities in iran rocked by protests. i want to show you one example just how brave these protests
12:22 am
are in the city of meshhud. this is the hometown of the ayat ayatollah. you see that statue there, it's a symbol of the islamic revolution, being burned by a crowd. extremely heroic. and they are facing an absolutely brutal crackdown in response. amnesty international saying live fire is being deliberately and directly fired into crowds of demonstrators. you have internet restrictions that have been in place now for days, limiting people's abilities to organize, limiting the news coming out of the country. and there are concerns that this crackdown will only intensify, that this brutal repression of dissent will only get worse. we've seen examples of this in iran, examples of what the iranian state does when it's threatened. 2019 when there were fuel protests. hundreds of people were believed killed by the security forces at the time. and there's fears there may be a
12:23 am
reputation of that. so far, dozens of people have lost their lives, demanding change, demanding accountability, demanding greater rights for women. there are signs from the iranian president, who's called these protesters enemies of the state, a threat to national security -- that language, that rhetoric, is extremely worrying. you're looking at some of the supporters of these protests -- i'm going to take united states, for example, taking this two-pronged approach. so the u.s. putting sanctions against the morality police, against the minister of intelligence, against some figures in the iranian military. but at the same time, expanding internet rights so that average iranians who want to demonstrate, who want to be out in these protests, could potentially have more access to the internet. but all of this just ramping up, these cities being rocked by unrest, and no sign of it slowing down. >> the situation is so volatile,
12:24 am
salma. the question is, what happens next? >> reporter: absolutely, that is the most important question of all. there's two parts to that question. what happens to the demonstrators? do they continue to go out in the streets, burn head scarves, demand an end to the regime, demand greater rights, demand freedoms that have not been seen in iran for decades? or are we going to continue to see this brutal repression end this dissent? >> thanks so much for keeping an eye on that story, salma abdel aziz, live in london. in italy, a contest that could see the country turn hard to the right. it was called after the collapse of mario draghi's coalition this year and comes as the country sees deepening economic and political crisis. joining me from rome is cnn contributor barbie nadeau.
12:25 am
barbie, you've been following these elections closely. what more can you tell us at this stage? tell us where you are. >> reporter: we're in a polling station. the polls have been open about 2 1/2 hours. we've seen a steady stream of people coming in to vote. this is a hugely crucial election here because the center right coalition led by the far-right party is euro skeptic, supported the ukraine war, but there are issues within that coalition that aren't necessarily cohesive. so we're seeing a lot of people coming out to vote today. the results will be in about 11:00 tonight local time. people are on tenterhooks to see how this vote is going to go. georgia malone would be the first female prime minister in a very male-dominated country, but she has issues among the feminist population. she's promised clamping down on abortion rights, she's made comments about lgbtq rights, things like that. so a first female prime minister in a country like italy doesn't
12:26 am
necessarily mean it's going to be a lot of females supporting her. >> you mentioned a lot of people were coming out to vote. when we spoke yesterday, there were questions about turnout. quickly, do you get a sense that people are engaged here? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, we've seen a steady stream of people. it's bad weather, storms today. that often affects the vote, people are weather-shy. but we have seen a number of people. in about four hours we'll get the first results of how many people have come out to vote today. >> all right, thanks so much, barbie tthat nadeau in rome. a quick break for viewers in north america, more news in just a moment for international nurse.

welcome back to those watching in the united states and canada, i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom. a state of emergency declared for all of florida as tropical storm ian churns toward the gulf coast. if forecast models are accurate, it will be the first major hurricane to hit the state in four years. ian is expected to strengthen to a hurricane later today before passing the cayman islands and cuba in the days ahead. officials from the state are urging floridians to stock up on essentials and prepare for what could be a category 4 storm.
12:31 am
>> this is the calm before the storm. i've seen lines at the gas stations and the natural gas, propane. they're taking it serious. i encourage those that are not to always take a storm seriously. because you can never estimate where that storm might turn. and we need to be prepared. the congressional committee investigating the january 6th insurrection is tentatively planning another hearing on wednesday, possibly its last. the select committee has yet to make a formal referral to the justice department on whether to pursue criminal prosecution. democrat adam schiff, a prominent member of the committee, says he's frustrated by the slow pace of the government's investigation. an event in texas on saturday, schiff lamented federal investigators apparently began their own probe from scratch even though a great deal of evidence had already been uncovered. here's what he said. >> it would be equally breathtaking if we were to say
12:32 am
the justice department, turn over to congress all your files. my first reaction when we got the request, turn over your files, why don't you have your own damn files? why haven't you been conducting your own investigation? why do you need us to do it? >> there are multiple investigations of donald trump now unfolding in various proceedings, including a secret court battle being waged by trump's legal team. cnn has exclusive information that the former president's attorneys have been fighting to keep key members of his administration from testifying before a federal grand jury. cnn's marshall cohen explains why this one case is so important. >> reporter: we're getting some fresh insights into the justice department's criminal investigation into the january 6th insurrection and former president donald trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. sources tell cnn that there is a secret court showdown going on with regards to what information
12:33 am
will be presented to the grand jury involved in this investigation. on one side you've got the justice department. they are seeking testimony from some top trump white house officials. on the other side of this legal dispute, you have donald trump's lawyers trying to block that testimony. they are asserting privilege. things like attorney-client privilege and executive privilege. now, these proceedings, this battle, is being waged in private because federal law prohibits any disclosure of anything related to a grand jury. however, we have been able to learn through our sources and, frankly, by seeing some of the trump lawyers walking into court earlier this week, that this battle is under way. what might happen here, what might happen if the judge sides with the justice department, the judge might clear the way for additional testimony. for people from the trump white house to answer key questions
12:34 am
about their conversations with donald trump while he was trying to overturn the election. now, we don't know exactly who this case is about because, as i said, these are all closed-door proceedings, not open to the press, not open to the public. however, we do know who has already testified to the grand jury. these following people, folks like pat cipollone, white house counsel under trump. patrick philbin, his deputy. two senior advisers to vice president mike pence, greg jacob, mark short. all four of these guys have already testified to the grand jury, answered some questions, but declined to answer some other questions because of privilege. that would be the scenario where the doj wants to get involved and try to get a court order forcing them to answer more questions. so at this point we know that the fight is being fought. we don't know the outcome yet. we'll have to just wait and see how it all plays out in court. marshall cohen, cnn, washington.

for the second time in six weeks the ceo of pfizer has tested positive for covid-19. he says he's feeling well and doesn't have symptoms. he's received four doses of the vaccine that his company helped develop. he's been waiting to take an updated booster shot. he cautioned the virus is still with us despite the progress we've made so far. in fact, while much of europe appears to be emerging from the pandemic, a few areas could be on the verge of another wave. in england and wales, the seven-day average of new cases has risen by 13% after falling for nearly two months. the exact cause of this latest outbreak is unclear, but experts say the virus may have spread in schools during last week's royal funeral services, or as a result of new transmissible variants. it's believed the u.s. will follow the u.k.'s trajectory as it has in the past. a dramatic new turn in the welfare fraud scandal linked to
12:36 am
former u.s. football star brett favre, the former director of mississippi's welfare agency, john davis, has pled guilty for his part in a multimillion-dollar scheme. auditors say money meant for the welfare program was funneled into projects for prominent people like the former athlete. >> reporter: john davis didn't have much to say as he left federal court thursday. >> do you have anything to say to the taxpayers of mississippi? >> reporter: the former head of mississippi's welfare agency pleading guilty to state and federal charges connected to one of the largest public corruption cases in the state's history. >> it's been justice delayed, not justice denied. >> reporter: a conspiracy according to the court auditor and documents saw at least $77 million meant for needy families in the nation's poorest state instead be funneled through nonprofits to pet projects and politically connected, and celebrities like pro football hall of famer brett favre. in a release announcing davis'
12:37 am
guilty pleas for one count of conspiracy and one count of theft from programs receiving federal funds, the department of justice said davis worked with four unnamed coconspirators, writing that he directed the welfare funds to two nonprofits and then directed those nonprofits to award contracts for social services that were never provided. >> mr. davis, as it relates to count one, conspiracy, how do you plead? >> guilty. >> as relates to count two, fraud against the government, how do you plead? >> guilty. >> reporter: davis entered that guilty plea 18 times on state charges in hines county thursday. five counts of conspiracy and 13 doubts of fraud against the government. admitting he conspired with a former pro wrestler who has already pleaded guilty in the scheme. he received welfare funds and was supposed to teach includeses about drug abuse, but used the money to pay for, among other
12:38 am
things, a stay at a drug rehabilitation center in malibu. >> it was not okay. i can't tell you, other than it shouldn't have been okay, she not have allowed that to happen. when i knew that money was being used, i should have stopped it. >> reporter: davis agreed to cooperate with state and federal investigators and testify against others. we're still looking for records and text messages and continue to work with federal authorities, washington, and mississippi, to continue to move forward. john davis is critical. >> reporter: text messages were released last week as part of the state's ongoing civil litigation by attorneys for a nonprofit founded by nancy new, who's pleaded guilty in connection with the welfare scheme. nancy new, former mississippi governor phil bryant, and brett favre working to obtain funds for a multimillion-dollar volleyball center at brett favre's alma mater, university of southern mississippi, where his daughter played the sport at the time. favre and new repeatedly referenced john davis and updated each other on meetings
12:39 am
with him. 2017, four texting, john mentioned $4 million, not sure if i heard him right, very big deal and can't thank you enough. earlier this year the state filed civil suits, however, favre does not face criminal charges. his attorney told cnn the former quarterback did not know the money came from welfare funds. >> he couldn't have been more honorable in any of it, he had no idea where it came from. >> reporter: the former governor has not been charged, nor is he a defendant in any civil suit. in the past he denied any knowledge of the scheme. all the multiple investigations into the fraud scheme remain ongoing. >> i can tell you on my end we're going to continue to make sure this case is thoroughly investigated. as everyone knows we have turned over every piece of evidence that we have to federal investigators. >> reporter: john davis is set to be sentenced in federal court early next year. diane gallagher, cnn, charlotte, north carolina. coming up, a shocking story
