good morning. welcome to your new day. i'm boris sanchez. >> good morning. i'm amara walker. florida braces for what could become a category four hurricane before landfall. we'll have the latest on the storm's path and when it could

potentially hit. >> plus congresswoman liz cheney says she is ready to part ways with her party if donald trump becomes the nominee in 2024. we'll tell you how she plans to keep fighting to prevent the former president from running for the white house. >> and making a direct appeal to russian fighters being called up into harm's way. plus, a hollywood actress st stalked for more than a decade. we'll tell you about the dna technology that helped solve this crime. the start of a new week, sunday, september 25th. thank you so much for waking up with us. amara, good morning.

>> it's always so refreshing to hear you say it's the start of a new week. we are watching one storm, all of florida watching the caribbean this morning as tropical storm ian continues to gain strength. the latest forecast shows it's growing to a category four hurricane over the gulf of mexico before slamming into florida. it would be the first major hurricane to hit the state in four years. >> so yesterday florida governor ron desantis extended an emergency order to include the entire state and president biden declared an emergency for florida putting fema and other federal agencies on alert. residents from the florida panhandle to the florida keys are being urged to prepare for storm surge, hurricane force winds and of course heavy rain. >> 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 and i encourage those that are not to always take a storm serious because you can never estimate where that storm might turn. and we need to be prepared. >> let's bring in cnn meteorologist allison chin thechinchar. what are you seeing inside the cone uncertainty in. >> it's the last-minute wobbles that can wreak havoc if you don't prepare. the storm is still really trying to get itself together, even though it is gradually strengthening. the hurricane hunters are out there trying to gather as much data as possible to find out where the center of the storm is, whether or not it's showing continued signs of strengthening. that helps give us enough information to put into the track of where we anticipate it's going to go.

you have hurricane warning out for the grand cayman islands and as we make our way up towards cuba, hurricane watches along the extreme western coast and tropical storm watches more in the center. storm surge is going to be one of the the key components, especially for cuba. you're talking 9 to 13 speet all along that western coastline, and the reason for the difference is you're going to start to see that storm rapidly intensify over the next 24 to 36 hours. likely becoming a hurricane later today or even early this evening and then possibly up to major hurricane strength as it's making its way into it goes from a 4 back town to a 3 and part of that is bus you have much cooler

ocean temperatures there along that big ben region. we'll have a lot to discuss over the next couple of days. >> there's a huge gap there. hopefully that closes very soon. thank you for that. so the white house is of course getting track of ian and pledging full federal support ahead of the storm. as you were saying, priscilla, the white house has issued an emergency declaration. what more do we know. >> reporter: that's right. this is a storm at. as the strm approaches, what that means is that and coordinate release efforts and produce intense fal ebiden of

course had plans to and also attend to at that dnc rooly and that has has now been cancelled. >> priscilla, let's talk more about i enand preg prep racks. >> so we don't know a lot at this time in terms of exactly pr this storm is going to mitt pu we know much of florida is still in the counsel. but that could change quickly. so what is your message to the people of florida. who should be preparing? >> so i appreciate you allowing us to call the show this morning. i think the first message is everyone in florida is going to feel the impacts of the storm.

in irma we had a southwest raple and you can and oum glad to see heem people around the state are getting prepared. what we want people to do now are to get your plans toing the, we overestimated the people ef evacuated. about 6 million evacuated and about 3 million it an emergency.

>> what about the evacuation orders then? when do you expect those to come down? i understand the emergency managers in the flchlt keys are still waiting because there's so many urn certainty regarding pem there in monroe in a rogue county. >> regional evacuation appearance time. when you sart to put ul that flm. that's why we need 48 to 72 hours of the evacuation order to actually get cleared out. >> do you have anything you need so far, if if.

>> yeah, as you npgs. in i spokesnm we did get the emergency back kwrs twrp. that will allow us to dmachl snchl i have about 153 left if we should have to to that evacuation of, let's say, tampa. >> reporter: and lastly, you know, boris and i talking about this yesterday. i lived in miami more seven careers. i could be down to the keys for many storms. we know the attitude.

there's a very laid-back altitude. and a lo t of people sum already there we've gone that about since the mid 8 thousands if snchl three, four, five days. ji yards of ten days. that is actually okay but nuke. >>ism appreciate your royce.

ukraine. the president of russia is replying on the call to bring up 300,000 people. >> he said he was quoting the russian people themselves where thousands were fleeing to avoid the draft. yesterday alone more than 8,000 russians crossed by land, you can see the land there of cars, into finland. ben wedeman is there with more. hi there, ben. what are we seeing in terms of reaction to this latest massive

mobilization by putin? >> what we heard from president zelenskyy here in his nightly address was he was calling on those russian soldiers who end up on the front lines in ukraine to either surrender and if they surrender, they'll be treated in a civilized manner and the circumstances of their surrender will be kept secret. the russians said anyone who surrenders voluntarily could face up to 10 to 15 years in prison. he said in the event of a prisoner exchange, if any of the russian prisoners does not have to go back to russia, ukraine will facilitate that desire. he also called on russian soldiers in ukraine to sabotage russian operations.

this is part of ongoing psychological war by the ukrainians against russians. the other day i was near the russian front lines, i have a ukrainian phone and i received on it a text from the ukrainian authorities saying soldier of the russian federation, you are fulfilling a criminal order, you will die. surrender to captivity, you will return home safely. now as far as action going on on the ground here in ukraine, the city of odesa has recently come under repeated drone odesa is fairly far from the front line. in one case several drones hit a civil administration building in the middle of the city causing fatalities and in another it hit the navy headquarters there. of course odesa is a port city.
