>> it is 5:00 a.m. and with daylight will come more of a sense of damage and countless homes have been destroyed. but in the middle of all that devastation, we're often seeing inspiring scenes like this, a local reporter saving ae iing ad nurse who was pleading for help. he had to carry theoryher to sa his back. pawleys island, the storm washed parts of the pier away. authorities are still assessings damage and working to restore

power. and brian todd is in naples, florida with a closer look at the damage there. >> nothing left. zero. >> the full extent of hurricane ian's destruction now coming fully into view. aerial damage assessments showing coastal florida neighborhoods with roofing tore off, homes flattened, house either flooded or wiped out. some buildings with nothing left but the concrete slab. remote lotions locations cut of the mainland. these images showing how hard sanibel was hit. >> only way to access that is either by sea or by air. >> reporter: so far more than 700 people rescued the governor says. this car in orange county was filled with water up to the seats when the passengers were rescued. the coast guard making rescues by air from flooded communities along the coast. here a rescuer is lowered this to the water. find as woman in a house vo

surrounded by water. >> have a bag with i.d., clothes, wallet. >> reporter: a basket is lowered and she and her pet are hoisted to safety. volunteers pitching in as well. >> it was higher than nine feet. >> reporter: harrowing stories still emerging including from the survivor who took this video. >> initially the water pushed me up the stairs and then it sucked me back down as well. i got completely submerged under water all above my head. >> reporter: among residents returning to survey the damage, distress and determination. how do you feel about all this? >> i feel it was time for remodel. >> reporter: that is a good outlook. can you rebuild? >> yes. >> reporter: even inland, in places like orlando, floodwater was still high on friday. >> what we saw in central florida was more standing water than what we saw in southwest florida where the big storm surge came in.

>> reporter: authorities warning residents of lingering dangers. >> what is the bigger danger the community is facing? >> multiple dangers out there. downed power lines that might be re-energized, just try to stay home, stay safe and call us if you need us. >> reporter: the death toll now over 40, more than a million customers still without power, some could take days or weeks to restore. and the figures on property losses remain staggering. according to the property analytics firm core logic, ian could have caused more than $47 billion in insured losses, and that could make it the most expensive hurricane in the history of the state of florida. brian todd, cnn. and after making landfall near ft. myers, the storm then swept across central florida and dumped enormous amounts of rain. residents in an orlando neighborhood say they often get standing water after a heavy rain, but the situation there is now that wern what they can deah

now. ryan young has their story. >> reporter: neighbors are frustrated by what they see. look all around, you can see the flooding that has taken over this neighborhood. and we got on this boat because neighbors are helping neighbors, trying to see if any of their neighbors needed to get on a boat. some of the folks had to be recusevery his cued rescued later but now they are wondering where is the help from the government. they are helping more people will come to provide help critical need. they need power, need their medicine and they need to be able to assess the damage to their homes. these folks are no danger to this sort of situation. over and over again after every hurricane, their streets flood but not normally this high. we've seen homes where the doors wide open, people coming back to try to rescue their pets behind, now, there's some older people who live in this neighborhood.

>> yeah, the front doors are open. some of the trunks are open. some cars slid in the road. we just don't have to make any sense, we are to catch a boat, somebody come and picking people up, taking them to get food and stuff. >> i'm about to cry, i don't want to cry. just to see people up and down, the dog on the road and everything, it's just sad, it's scary. we want to move. >> reporter: yeah, you can hear the frustrations, she's hoping someone will see her on tv and provide this neighborhood much needed help. ryan young, cnn, orlando, florida. >> cnn meteorologist karen mcg maginnes brings up the update on

the latest. >> yes. the latest news from the hurricane center, they say this is the last advisory they are issuing regarding ian. ian is a post tropical cyclone, what that means, it's no longer warm core, it's not getting any energy off the open waters. very warm waters from the caribbean, gulf of mexico and the atlantic. rams, it doesn't have the characteristics of a tropical system, but this is how it works. and if we were to put a center on it, it would be in the vicinity of greensboro, north carolina. meaning if you went northeast, along interstate 85, out of charlotte, it would be just about in that vicinity. but you can see, all of this precipitation, a shield of moisture that still is hovering in this region. also, we still got pretty heavy rainfall that is expected to continue. in that tide water area of virginia. and into the delmarva peninsula.

so it's not completely over with yet. even though winds associated with this post-patrol cyclone ian is only about 35 miles an hour. hurricane center says we're finished tracking this now, but we're still seeing gusty winds and pretty heavy rainfall in areas, areas around listenburg, virginia, to downed trees and power lines there. also in orangeburg, south carolina. all right. where did it make landfall. in the vicinity of georgetown, south carolina, pretty much between myrtle beach and charleston. i'll show you what happened at cherry grove beach. this is just right next door to north myrtle beach. and as folks looked out and saw this, you can imagine what they were thinking. this is the storm surge. this isn't just rainfall. there is some contribution to that. but pretty much, the bottom level you that see there, these homes are built on stilts. and essentially people keep

their cars down there, recreational vehicles or work tools and that sort of thing, but i'm sure they were holding their birth, hoping that this surge was just not going to get any worse. it was quite powerful. on top of that, the rainfall that we saw in coastal areas of north carolina, south carolina, for the most part, right around charleston, i saw reports of between 4 and 6 inches of rainfall. but now we still have flood watches and warnings out, as i mentioned that tide water area, across virginia. and into the delmarva peninsula, the chesapeake region. hampton, and then in portions of virginia and west virginia, we still have some flood watches out. why? because there's still this broad shield of wet weather that's just got to wring itself out. simply kind of interesting is if there were a core to ian, it's kind of moved off towards the north and northwest. but it is expected to gradually

make its way north and northeast eventually. so that's why it's hanging around. it slowed down a little bit. but i do think much improvement as we go into saturday evening. and into sunday. still a little bit of wind associated with it. it is going to be that rip current. don't let your guard down, if you're thinking about going into the waters here because it's still going to be very dangerous. so, the grim portion, kim that we saw regarding southwestern florida, i think that's over. but there still are aspects of this that are problematic. back to you. >> good to highlight that, karen maginnis, thanks so much. appreciate it. russia is pushing ahead with its plans to annex a fifth of ukraine, as soon as that was done, widespread condemnation was quick to follow. that's ahead. stay with us. is where i want t. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase

resident of fort myers beach, florida, now wishing he'd left ahead of the hurricane when he had a chance. and he's not alone. the storm was powerful, relentless and deadly. at least 45 fatalities have been confirmed so far. and a preliminary estimate of potential insurance claims for property damage could approach $50 billion. russia is moving ahead with its plan to carry out the largest forced annexation in europe since world war ii. at a large ceremony in moscow on friday, president vladimir putin announced the annex of one-fifth of ukraine. the move calls for a referendum in five regions that the west missed. and as putin signed the document, western nations made it clear that the move won't be recognize. the u.s. and britain and other g7 members are pushing for new

sanctions on moscow. ukraine calls it a farce and says russia will be defeated. here he is. >> translator: the entire territory of our country will be liberated from this enemy. the enemy not only of ukraine, but also of life itself. humanity, law and truth. russia already knows this. it feels our power. it seethes that it is here in ukraine that we proved the strength of our values and that is why it is in a hurry. organizers of this farce with attempt at annexation tried to steal something that does not belong to it, wants to rewrite history and redraw borders with murders, torture, blackmail and lies. ukraine will not allow. >> meanwhile, ukraine has been making more progress on the battlefield. nick paton walsh has more than that. >> reporter: as refrain to stay from the kremlin, ukraine making

gains. perhaps while not in this stage entirely complete, certainly causing a degree of panic among pro-russian commentators. essentially once the thousand russian troops in that town are fully encircled they may have to surrender and it may have a rolling impact back towards luhansk. that's one of the four areas that vladimir putin now said is part of russia. indeed as it were in standing, that speech from the kremlin at times divorced from the reality how poorly russian forces are doing on the ground. we heard today that the death toll from one of the more startling acts of russian brutality over the past weeks a rocket strike outside the town of zaporizhzhia, which hit a civilian convoy of people trying to deliver aid to occupied areas. that death toll has risen to 30. and 88 people, utterly staggering, frankly, that in an area on thursday night russia

declared was part of russia in their opinion. zaporizhzhia, the first thing they would do the next morning is launch a rocket strike like this against civilians. the united states, though, conscious of what they cover to the nuclear sabre rattling from vladimir putin. the backdrop to his times absurd-sounding claims that all of these areas of ukraine which still are being fought over, still partially occupied by ukrainian military forces who are on the advance to these parts of russia, the backdrop to that of nuclear threats that vladimir putin has made. u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin saying that they have not seen specific indications that russia is preparing to use nuke weapons. so, clear messaging from the u.s. trying to calm the fever atmosphere around that particular threat but at the same time, too, we're also hearing from ukrainian officials that the director of the

zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant may have been detained in russian-occupied areas so the backdrop of the threat of some nuclear incident always in the background here. ahead of that, all of the rhetoric, heard from the ukraine forces continuing to move forward, of russia's conventional army, despite the recent mobilization still isn't holding ground here. nick paton walsh, cnn, crema tour sk, ukraine. and the push back against the mobile mobilization, as matthew chance reports he says still, though, his military will win on the battlefield. >> reporter: victory will be ours. president putin vowing success in ukraine, soon after announcing a significant escalation in his war. the invited crowd yelled their support back. but this carefully kochoreograpd

fervor is likely to be shared by russians still feeling his plea. after the sham referendums show huge unlikely support for russia's rule. >> translator: people living in luhansk and donetsk, kherson and zaporizhzhia are becoming our citizens forever. >> reporter: putin said he wanted kyiv to come to the negotiating table but that the fate of occupied regions was not up for debate. >> choice of the people in the four provinces, we are not going to discuss. russia is not going to betray it. >> reporter: the speech-framing land grab is part of an existential battle of ukraine western allies, he said, were determined to weaken his country.

he declared any attack on the annexed areas would be an attack on russia itself. vowing to use all the means at his disposal if ukraine tries to reclaim it. the announcement met with dut dutiyful applause. but behind the stony glares he must know how much this war is costing. from the battlefield, russia is facing its worst setbacks since invading in february while at home there's been wide protests against the mobilization for russia's men to fight. there's also the global condemnation, the u.s. posing sanctions with other western allies following suit. and in ukraine, president zelenskyy called putin's move a farce, saying ukraine would accelerate its request to join nato. >> translator: today, here in kyiv in the heart of our country, we are taking a

decisive step for the security of the entire community of free nations. ♪ >> reporter: but in red square tonight, the stage managed celebrations meant to send a powerful message at home and abroad. no matter the consequences, putin's russia is determined to take this path. matthew chance, cnn, new york. >> president putin has said nuclear weapons could be used to defend russian territory, which moscow now claims includes nearly a fifth of ukraine. u.s. secretary lloyd costen condemned the sabre rattling in an interview with cnn. here's what he had to say about the prospect of putin following through on his threats. >> to be clear, the guy who makes that decision, i mean, it's one man. there are no checks on mr. putin. just as he made the irresponsible decision to invade

ukraine, and he could make another decision, but i don't see anything right now that would lead me to believe that he has made such a decision. >> so, for more analysis, we're joined by lawrence freeman and america's professor of war at king's college in london. thanks, so much, sir, for being with us. we really appreciate it. let's start with what we heard, with more nuclear threats coming from russia. the u.s. warning of severe response. is this pushing the nuclear doomsday clock closer to midnight? >> i don't think so. i mean, it's already got quite close and, certainly, putin wants to create this air of nuclear menace, as everybody said, putin in the end has made reckless decisions and will make more. the thing to keep in mind, i think this really does not help him win the war. it doesn't help the politics or

condemn around the world. it didn't really help with the terror. the other thing is having just begun mobilization, a more serious attempt to try to win the war. >> so, if it doesn't help them militarily, it might help them, let's say, diplomatically, if the nuclear threats are trying to threaten the west into a deal. but as you mentioned, annexation as well, how important are the annexed areas as potential bargaining chips? >> the problem is, he hasn't present them as bargaining chips. he's presented them as being forever russian. the actual context of yesterday's speech was to make diplomacy even more notable than before. and as zelenskyy said, they can't see either negotiating with putin at all, gimpven the things he says and now does. so, one of the problems with this argument that we need to

somehow negotiate now because of these threats is he hasn't offered a negotiating way forward. meanwhile, though, he may present himself as negotiating constraints, as your reports have indicated, it's actually a negotiating position that's weakening as ukrainian forces liberate more territory. >> in the meantime, we've seen the mobilization efforts continuing. we talk about those troops being potentially ill-equipped, poorly trained. not to mention, suffering from a lack of morale. but can they still make a difference on the battlefield, maybe even turning back the tide of ukraine's advances? >> i think we shouldn't dismiss all of these troops as being hopeless or being a drag-on effort. some will be trying, some will be capable. very few will be fully kited out. i think this is part of the

strategy offensive lines that they can hold defensively, so by the time you get to the spring, they will have had a chance to train more of these men into a decent force, that might work but instead, what putin has seemed to have done is demanded of commanders that they hold all the territory that they can. that's a consequence of the annexation decisions because it's all russian territory that's being lost. among the action, either wasting the resources they've tried to take or now to hold the positions that actually will defeat them. so, it could have made a difference. it might still make a difference. instead, it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. but so far it hasn't been bound up to the strategy to make it a real credible route to victory. >> i want to get your analysis on the latest on the battlefield. we're following the ukrainian

army's progress lyman, where they're encircling the troops. how crucial would the fall of that city be? >> well, first of all,s it's a enormous blow to russia and putin. and logistical, it means a supply to other areas being defended to rise up. and it loses -- none of it varies, but anything from 2,000 to 5,000, say 8,000 russian troops are kept up there. and now really can't get out, without themselves in enormous danger of ukrainian artillery. it seems that ukrainians are mounting, not interested in storming the area, while they can hold it, they're already moving on to take more territory, to liberate more territory. so, i think it's pretty bad news because this is the most thinly

defended part of the front for russia. and ukraine is now able to take more advantage of this. and they may even move to retake cities that you may recall was the scene of the horrendous long battle in the summer, that's with the russians taking the city at great cost which is now sees as being vulnerable. >> so, with the spring of setbacks and the unpopularity of mobilization which has even forced putin to apologize, do you think, quickly, that putin will pay a political price here? >> the problem is, if he doesn't pay a political price, it's hard to see at the moment how this war ends. so you have to look at all of the incidents, st. george's hall, in the cracks the

existence of them thinking how long they can go along with it. unfortunately, as long as he's in power, the catastrophe will continue. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you for speakiking with u lawrence frereeman, appreciate . many people on florida's gulf coast depend on large boats for their livelihood. coming up, we'll show you how the hurricane wiped out entire fleets in just a matter of hours. stay with us. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting, steroid-free remission. and a chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check. check. and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older... with at least 1 heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq... as serious reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. put uc in check and keep it there, with rinvoq.

♪ millions of people in florida are just starting to pick up the pieces after hurricane ian ripped a path of destruction across the state. the storm's fury tearing off the

end of this pier on flagler beach. pieces of the pier still scattered along the water front. >> this chunk of the pier just floating down the waters. it's -- you don't think that's ever going to happen, you know. but mother nature. >> from neighborhoods around flagler beach got nearly a foot of rain. the local shareesheriff's offic some people have to be rescued because of high water. the search and rescue efforts is a mammoth task, they've rescued 275 people so far. the sheer navigation can make those rescues tricky. listen to this. >> what we're finding is that many of the people are not critically injured, they're not in immediate distress, but they're stranded. they're stuck on, you know, an island, you know, either man

made islands that have been there for sometime, and surrounding by waters but more importantly, those areas that weren't islands before and now they are surrounded by water. >> slow it, slow it, slow it. >> incredible rescue there. this video gives you some idea of what rescue crews keep coming with, people trapped in waters surrounded by deep water with no way out until help arrives. first responders tell you they'll continue searching until everyone who needs help gets it. after pounding florida it made a second landfall in south carolina. officials there are now assessing the damage. cnn's nick valencia is in myrtle beach, sk. >> reporter: the worst of the hurricane appears to have come and gone here in myrtle beach. and though hurricane ian made landfall just south of us it brought significant damage here in and around the area. particularly in north myrtle beach to the cherry grove pier

which was wrecked by the heavy rain and significant wind that came with hurricane ian. portions of the pier floating into the atlantic. now, there were concerns here for localized flooding especially along the coast. the some residents did get water inside the homes and there was at least one rescue in the county. here along the coast where we were standing hours ago was under water. all of that water has receded back into the ocean. but the wind here continues to be a factor. a dramatic scene we saw on friday there was a shrimp boat that seemingly appeared out of nowhere on the atlantic just getting hammered by the choppy waves. initially, wasn't clear whether or not there was anybody upon boat, we did talk to the horry county sheriff's office it was said that yesterday the crew was evacuated by the coast guard and anchored down, because of severe weather. one person was arrested trying to climb into that boat. the cleanup continues in horry

county, in and around myrtle beach and there's going to be a lot to clean up throughout the coming day, nick valencia, cnn, north myrtle beach, south carolina. >> cian caused similar damage at paul pawleys island, it fell victim to the category 1 storm, wind pounded to the structure before it finally gave away. and there's lots of cleanup ahead. >> we've got quite a mess on pawleys island, and we need to make sure it's safe. and we need resources from the state to make sure we can get the island cleaned up in an expeditious fashion. >> a sign that the worst appeared to be over. the police department tweeted out this photo of a rainbow as the storm moved out. shark fishing is a huge draw to many people who will travel to florida's is coast, it will take a while to take before those businesses are up and

running. cnn is there to show a mangle of the boats, messes and debris left behind by the storm. >> reporter: these are shore birds and pelicans walking across wreckage in what used to be san carlos harbor. it's seen better days as you can see. this is the destructive path of ian. it came raking across here. a lot of the businesses here, of course, have to do with recreation here in paradise. kayak rentals, bait shops completely split open by the wind. but what's most striking about this particular spot is the boats that have been tossed into the mangroves across the street here. we have a bit of a bottleneck of human activity because this is the road to fort myers beach. and the sheriff's department is not letting anybody on. if you haven't seen any pictures of fort myers beach, this is why. there is a forirst and former l

in access in fort myers that's supposed to give us access, but you got to give credit to the sheriffs trying to manage the crowds here piling in. you've got journalists, of course, you've got first responders. you have residents who are just curious coming by and that's creating this huge pile. but this is what i wanted to show you. this is across san carlos boulevard. just get a load of this, just wanton, indiscriminate destruction. i think about how a family saves up their whole life to buy a boat. if you're a fisherman, you dream of being a captain one day and now perilous that is even in a good year sometimes. but now what this will do to the maritime businesses to this around here. the insurance, the marine insurance companies that will have to deal with the aftermath of this. and this is what i really wanted to show you guys.

look at this. i will always remember the sight of captain greg's boat the cracker jack which is now parked on top of this chevy suburban. you can hear the alarm going off inside the boat to alert the captain that something's wrong. it's heartbreaking in this setting. and then you've got laundry baskets up in the mangroves there. another bait shop right here. then you find stuff like this. look at this, just a random -- this is nicholas roland's mgm rewards card just sat down there by the most violent part of the storm to hit this part of the coast in history. meanwhile, over here, you have the beeping of earth-movers as they try to shove these grounded sailboats out of the way, as we learn in irma and maria, cleanup

can be as much of a man-made disaster as the hurricane itself. if not properly managed, we can only hope that all available resources will manage to unjumble this mess as soon as possible for these poor folks. >> incredible. coming up, despite harsh crackdownsns from authorities, protests in iran continue,e, sparked by the death of a woman in the custody of the country's morality police. we'll have a live report after the break. stay with us.

after the nightmare of hurricane ian, thousands in florida now face the monumental task of trying to get their lives back on track. at least 45 people have been killed in the state. and a massive search and rescue effort is still under way for stranded survivors. ian is not a post-tropical

cyclone dumping rain on virginia and the mid-atlantic states. anti-iran protests in iran show little signs of slowing down two weeks after erupting over the death of 22-year-old mahsa amini in the custody of the country's morality police. this despite protesters being met with harsh crackdowns, i'm joined by cnn's jomana karadsheh in eastern turkey. jomana, they're dealing with protests. what's the latest? >> it's quite remarkable, kim, and we're continuing to see women taking to the streets despite the intensifying government crackdowns on the protests. but i have to say, it's very, very difficult for us to judge, how big, how widespread these protests are. because one of the main government tactics that we've seen in the past and again being used during this protest

movement is they are restricting the internet. there's an internet blackout in much of the country. communications blackout as well. they're really trying to contain the protests that way, as well as containing information, getting out of the country, activists and journalists getting images to the world. but we are still seeing video information trickling out of the country. when you piece it all together, it paints a picture of really determined generation of iranians continuing to take to the streets of different countries in different cities across the country, despite the government crackdown. and really bold demands and chants that we're see ing, kim, continuing with "death to the dictator." they want to see the downfall the republic. the kind of scale you've then seen in the country. if you look at what the government is doing, it's an dismissing all that's going on as a foreign plat to try to destabilize the country. they're describing the thousands

of protesters as rioters. and the crackdown, so far, according to the government figures they say more than 1,000 have been detained but the number is very -- it's likely much higher than that. the united nations, one expert saying they believe it could be in the thousands. i mean, just over the past coming of days we've seen high-profile arrests by the government detaining artists, well-known iranians, artists, poets, 28 journalists, according to the committee to protect journalists. and then you've got the protesters who are getting rounded up and really disturbing reports, according to amnesty international, where they say women are being dragged by their hair in some operations. we've seen some video to show that. amnesty saying some of the women have been sexually assaulted, groped while getting detained. and again, that hasn't stopped the protesters. it hasn't stopped the women coming out on the streets,

still, and removing their head scarfs. in addition, you've got the concern about the rising death toll. we don't really know how many people have been killed so far. estimates are anywhere from 40 up to 80 people coming in from different organizations, human rights groups, state media, as well as opposition groups. we can't independently verify the numbers from outside of iran. but there's a lot of concern about the use of lethal force and live rounds in confronting these protests. amnesty international and the united nations saying this must be investigated. a lot of concern that that death toll is only going to rise as these protests continue. and we don't really know the extent of this crackdown, really, with the internet blackout going on in the country. and the biggest concern, kim, is that the more determined these protesters are, the more you see the protests going on. the concern is that the iranian regime is going to unleash more

brutal force, more than what we've seen so far, to try and suppress these protests. back in 2019, you had protests over the increase in fuel prices and at the end of that, it was instead offed up to 1500 people were killed. >> yeah. that's true. listen, really appreciate the update on this very important story, jomana karadsheh in istanbul, thanks so much. all right. we want to take you now live to iraq capital in babaghdad. scuffles have broken doubt. ap has reported three generations of corruption, the country has been mired in gridlock since elections in october failed to bring in a new government. now, those barriers that you can see there, they have been set up by security forces. and they're blocking access to the fortified green zone that houses government buildings and diplomatic missions.
