our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm max foster. just ahead. >> there's nothing left. >> this is such a big storm, you're having a 500 year flood

even. all of the flooding blocking this major highway behind me. >> we did what we had to do. i wouldn't have changed anything. >> i lost my boat, everything i had, but saved three guys, it's worth it. >> can we get some help around here? would that be too much to ask? live from london, this is cnn "newsroom" with max foster. it is monday october 3rd, 9:00 a.m. in london, 4:00 a.m. on the east coast. five days after hurricane ian slammed into florida. at least 76 people have lost their lives. and entire communes have been wiped out. in some of the worst hit areas, workers have not only trying to find signs of life beneath the rubble, they're helping those who have lost their entire

livel livelihoods. the loss is so great places like fort myers may never return to what they were. >> there are a lot of people with no homes to return to now or in the future. they'll be eligible for individual assistance. we're still in the search and recovery assistance. and then begins the process of rebuilding which will take years. some of these areas will never look the same again. >> many parts of the state are still under water without power the governor has visited some of those places and described the heartbreak he saw. >> i saw homes that had almost up to the roof tops still different buildings russian billionaire -- different buil buildings. rvs that were almost totally sub

merged. this is such a big storm, brought so much water that you're having basically what's been a 500 year flood event here in desoto county and other neighboring counties. >> officials in lee county are facing criticism over the timing of their evacuation orders. cnn learned they issued those a day before ian made landfall. some fear the delayed response may have contributed to the region's death toll, which is the highest in the state. cnn's boris sanchez asked two officials about that and here's what they said. >> i stand 100% with my county commissioners, my county manager. we did what we had to do at the exact same time. i wouldn't have changed anything. i know, being in those meetings. this storm was very unpredictable. >> we've done everything we can, from using state resources, federal resources to make the

necessary arrangements that we have. but we started to strongly suggest that they leave. obviously any time where there's a possibility to do this, we have no strangeness to storms. we've seen them all, we continue to remind people. i think people got complacent because we've never had a storm surge, in all the storms, that they've been accurate with any of the forecast and models. so unfortunately people did get complacent. >> governor desantis also defended the county's decision and appeared to cast the blame on others. >> i think for various reasons, people don't want to leave their home. i think so much attention was paid to tampa people thought they wouldn't get the worse of it. but they did. it's easy to second guess them. >> is that one of the things you'll be reviewing, once we get out of the aftermath, lee county if they would have followed

their own evacuation orders they should have had that evacuation order sooner. >> this issue is they were a lot of -- they informed people and people did not want to do it, that's the reality. are you going to grab something out of their hope that doesn't want to. that takes it a little too far. >> many of those who survived the hurricane are facing a long road to recovery. we visited a town and spoke to residents about the struggles. >> reporter: neighbors here tell me they're in disbelief, shock when they see the damage outside their doors but the reality is setting in. the reality of what it will be like in the weeks and months ahead when it comes to recovery. let me show you what neighbors are having to deal with. you have homes where boats came into the backyard, boats flipped out, cars that came in with that

storm surge. you had one house where the dock came up and is now in another neighbor's driveway. so quite a bit of efforts will have to go into the cleanup of all this. i spoke to one woman who still had water in her oven, her drawers as we talked to her. here's what she told us. >> it's very sad. with a lot of history here, with the photos from my husband, his family. and it just tears me up, but i didn't get emotional. i haven't cried. i'm ready to cry right now talking to you. but it's okay because we're ie l alive and we're here. that's the most important thing. >> i also talked to the city manager here and he mentioned two things specifically in terms of where the immediate focus is. one is on where to find shelter for displaced people that have been impacted by hurricane ian and then of course the big one is power restoration. at this point they are still

assessing the damage when it comes to infrastructure to try to get a realistic idea as to when they believe they'll be able to get to 100% for power restoration. i have not spoken to one person here that does not say they expect this to be a long road to recovery. leyla santiago, cnn naples, florida. go to cnn.com/impact for more information. hurricane orlean is headed to mexico, and expected to make lan landfall. the national hurricane center said storm surge may contribute to flooding as well as life threatening surf and rip current conditions. let's bring in pedram for more on that. >> when you look at areas of the

east pacific here. the interest here, when it comes to the strength of the storm, it is a category 2 but weakening on approach, which is goods news. a lot of winds on top of it are shredding it apart here. we think landfall inside the next 12 hours or so and the system is slated to weaken further but notice what it did in the past 24 hours. going from a category 1 to a category 4. landfall expected later on this evening. heavy rainfall the primary threat. it's an in an area that's sparsely populated. winds increase at one point from 75 to 130 miles per hour. just to give you a sense of scale of the storms compared to ian, it is about the third the size of ian as it relates to the

cloud field and the winds that extend from the center. when it comes to this storm system, only 90 miles from the center you'll feel impact. notice on the immediate, we have tropical storm alerts and hurricane warnings in place. the storm surge threat generally going to remain five to six feet in the highest areas. but essentially what you're looking at is lagoons and sparsely populated region of mexico. about a half a million people. we think the system weakens on approach monday evening with winds around 80 miles per hour. but the impact is going to be localized. maybe heavy rain fall in mazatlan. but we don't expect it to impact a large area. the tropics, quiet but a couple areas of interest, they're a

ways out across the ocean. this is excellent news after the week we just had across a large area of florida and the southeast as well with the heavy rains we saw. >> thank you very much. developing news right here in uk right now. prime minister liz truss' government is scrapping a plan to increase the highest rate. truss and the chancellor say we get it and we have listened. let's get to cnn's bianna nobilo standing by. it's a massive u-turn. >> reporter: a screeching u-turn. and also the core reason that liz truss was elected as leader of the conservative party. the defining line between her and her rival was this type of economic plan. she did what she promised she'd

do. she did more than that and the market spiralled in reaction. her own mps rebelled in double digits. and now they've had to reverse this policy. so it's already a very precarious situation for this prime minister and her position feels like it is weakening by the hour at the moment. you know, max, you've been to so many of these conferences. for a new prime minister a few weeks into the job to be dealing with appalling figures, trying to gain the confidence of her party and why the government decided to u-turn on the policies, as you know there are confidence motions in the government in parliament. if those fail there is no confidence in the government and leads to a general election. in the issue of a budget would be treated to a confidence

motion and it's clear that truss didn't have the numbers to deliver on that. that's one of the reasons we're seeing the u-turn they didn't want more embarrassment to put the plans through parliament and have them rejected. >> she had a strong beginning to a premiership when you look at the way she handled the queen's death as well. where would you say her position is now? is there a risk she could be gone by the end of the year as people are saying? >> reporter: interestingly, people i spoke to last night before the tax cut reversal was announced saying if they don't backtrack on that plan which caused public furry, the idea that they were cutting taxes for the wealthiest when there's a crisis, they didn't think the prime minister would make it through till christmas.

this buys her time but plays into a key concern people had about liz truss. when i went to speak with people who worked with her in the past, they're worried about her flip flopping. this is a prime minister of the conservative party that once upon a time belonged to the liberal democrats. she's also changed her mind on issues like brexit. she was a remainor now a hard core brexiter. so the idea she can't be trusted to follow through on policies is one that concerns people. i think she's got a bit of time for people to perhaps change their mind about her, but really, lagging this far behind the labor party, losing any form of confidence and momentum that her party had in her in the beginning, i'm not sure she's the type of political operator with the experience, charisma to reverse this and manage for an indefinite period of time, max. >> a fascinating conference.

thank you very much. a high stakes presidential election in the world's fourth largest democracy is headed into the second round of voting with nearly all of the votes counted, the leftest president took more than 48% of the tally they say while the current right wing won just over 43%. that means neither candidate topped the 50% threshold needed to win outright. still it's a far better showing than polls predicted for mr. bm mr. boll si narrow. several surveys indicated that lula would avoid a runoff winning enough votes. >> translator: i want to tell you that the campaign starts tomorrow. i never won an election in the

first round, won all of them in the second round. all of them. here in the second round what's important is the chance to think thoroughly on what you propose for society to build a network of alliances and supporters before winning. for you to show to the people what will happen and who will win. >> translator: i understand it was a vote for change for the people but there are certain changes that could be worse. we tried to show this in the campaign but that didn't reach part of the population. we will analyze it. we are moving forward. where all is now equal and we'll better demonstrate for the brazilian people. >> that is video of lula's supporters celebrating sunday night. the runoff is set for october 30th. let's look at how the markets are doing this hour. here's the european markets all looking like they're in the red

quite significantly over 1%. meantime, a look at u.s. futures as we await the opening bell of the new york stock exchange, also down, the dow coming off the worst monthly drop since 2020, nearly 9% in september, rising levels of big u.s. retailers have worried investors. traveling out of jfk airport, united said it will temporarily halt services there. the schedule is too small to remain competitive they said. they'd been negotiating with the federal aviation admissnistrati for more takeoff and landings. united said it will work to make sure its 100 jfk employees won't lose their jobs. they'll be transferred to nearby locations we're tolds. still to come, russian lawmakers

are set to consider draft legislation on annexing four ukrainian regions. plus devastation left behind in liberated lyman, cnn goes inside the cnn. and later remembering those killed in indonesia when a saturday night football match spiralled into chaos and becama one of the wororst stadium disasters inin world history. started buying land, was in the house of representatives. we didn't know our family was part of black reconstruction. exactly. okay, seriously. finding out this family history, these things become anchors for your soul.

i had a bad relationship with my student loan. the interest was costing me... well, us... a fortune. no matter how much we paid it was always just... there. you know? so, i broke up with my bad student loan debt and refinanced with sofi. turns out we could save thousands. break up with bad student loan debt and refi with sofi. you could save thousands and pay no fees. go to sofi.com to view your rate. sofi get your money right.

russia's lower house of parliament is set to meet today to discuss treaties on the annexation of four ukrainian nations. the russian leader began the process on friday, following so-called referendums condemned by the west as a sham. four regions include the key city lyman's that are back in

the hands of ukraine after russian forces left this weekend. the list of areas retaken by ukrainian forces continues to grow. >> translator: the story of the liberation of lyman has become the most popular in the media but the successes of our soldiers are not limited to lyman this is the trend. recently someone somewhere held sue sue doe referendums. claire sebastian is in lo london, nick paton walsh is in ukraine. nick? >> reporter: startling really to see how much of lyman has been damaged, how ghostly it is and stand in a place which is such a strategic defeat for russia

which russia claimed as being part of its territory falsely on friday as it appears the troops were withdrawing sometimes o orderly, sometimes in chaos. it may not look like much but this is where putin's defeat in donosk began. lyman what's left of it now freed of russia. >> this is what it was all about, the central railway hub here now in ukrainian hands. and devastated by the fighting. and this was such a seminal part of russia's occupation of donetsk and luhansk. on the town's edges we saw no signs of the russian prisoners or dead that were expected, nor

inside it either. perhaps they have already been taken away. instead, utter silence. only local bicycles on the streets. several residents told us the russians left in large numbers on friday. >> translator: they left in the night and the day people said. i didn't see it myself but they say they sat on their apcs and their bags were falling off as they drove. they ran like this. >> reporter: it would be remarkable timing that russia fled in the same hours that putin was signing papers declaring here russian territory and holding a rally on red square. a similar story in the local administration where the only signs of russia left are burned flags. they ran away without saying a word to anybody he says. it was bad. no work, no gas, no power, nothing. the shops didn't work. it truly feels as if there is nobody left.

ghostly silence here, apart from occasional shelling and small arms fire. it is so much of this town utterly destroyed. so many locals we're told leaving when the ukrainian push towards it began. but now it's just this utter ghostliness in a place that's such a strategic defeat for russia. gun fire in the distance, they're nervous some russians may be left. outside what's left of the court, the constant change in violence is too much for some. her husband just arrested.

>> reporter: the ukrainian troops we did see had already stopped celebrating. there is little time. they're on the move again. another russian target further east in their sights. and those left in lyman a town cursed to have these bars of rusting steel running through it, are gathering the ruins to burn for fuel with winter ahead. left in the wake of russia's collapse here, a town they took weeks to occupy but only hours to leave.

now there will be startling, i think, revelations in the days ahead from russia's side as they work out how this happened, assess the damage to its forces and where it leaves them for the days ahead and weeks ahead, particularly in the donetsk and luhansk areas. we're also seeing signs of ukrainian progress in the south on the southern front too so a serious set of revelations or recriminations happening now inside the kremlin with bickering amongst russia's elite bursting into the opening. >> let's look at the situation in russia. the parliament, the lower house, they're considering these annexations and formalizing them effectively. >> this is pure theatre. they're not going to go and undo what he did on friday designed to drum up patriotism.

but the lower house is going to consider the treaties and on tuesday it moves to the upper house, the federation council so giving the front to the annexations as they are annexing a territory that nick's report showed a territory they're retreating from, all of this as international condemnation of the annexations continue to grow. the french president calling for more sanctions. the uk and u.s. have introduced more sanctions over the referendum, and the u.s. has agreed for 12 billion in aid. so we watch this unfold in moscow but it doesn't change what happens in the next few days. >> in terms of the international response there's nothing they can do, this is a process that carries on internally and cou countries like the u.s. object. >> the interesting response from ukraine was that it immediately announced in the wake of putin's

annexations on friday it wanted to fast track nato membership. that's still going to be a while. the international community rallied around ukraine in the wake of this saying it's in it for the long hall. but we have seen nine members come out and say we support your membership that doesn't include the u.s., germany, france, the major players here and this is risky for the west and nato. because any sense of ukraine joining would be an escalation in the eyes of moscow. when what we see happening here is putin's actions are prolonging this war, for all intents and purposes. >> claire, thank you. just ahead president joe biden andfirst lady dr. jill bi will be traveling to puerto rico toto see efforts of hurricane recovery. and later a new protest in

welcome back to cnn "newsroom," i'm max foster. if you're just joining us, let me bring you up to date with the top stories. uk prime minister liz truss said she will reverse her tax plan scrapping the highest rate of ta taxes. saying we have listened. 76 people have been killed in florida after hurricane ian slammed the state five days ago. emergency workers are continuing search, rescue and recovery

efforts. while 600,000 people remain without power. here you can see a police car pushed by floodwaters into the woods in central florida. a nearby bridge was also torn apart by the hurricane. and these images show the roads in and out of san bell island stranding those who chose to stay behind. many residents are unsure what to do next. can we get some help down here? you know, would that be too much to ask. look around here, there's nothing. we have no power, no phone service, nothing. we'd just like a little help. i'd like a little help to get my home back in shape because i have nowhere to go. >> there's nothing left. i don't know. i am optimistic, it's just -- it's heartbreaking for all those families, businesses. that's why i'm very sad. >> what goes through your mind

when you look at all this? >> the first thing is, we're alive. we're alive. we don't know our future because we don't know can we rebuild? what -- a lot of people don't have insurance because -- they have insurance but they don't have flood insurance. this is everything that i have. >> this is your life? >> this is the only home i have. i don't have an up north home or, you know -- i've -- where do you go from here? >> that's a concrete floating dock which is on the other side of the house. came up off the pilings and made its way around the condo complex there. you can see, that's sitting up pretty high, and it weighs about 4,000 pounds. so you can see how high the

water had to be just to be able to get it there. >> u.s. president joe biden and first lady dr. jill biden will travel to puerto rico and florida to see the damage caused by the hurricanes fiona and ian and meet with local officials and survivors. arlette signs has a preview of that trip. >> reporter: president biden will see the damage wrought by a pair of hurricanes when he travels to puerto rico and florida this week. they'll first travel to puerto rico on monday where they'll see the devastation by hurricane fiona two weeks ago, the president is expected to deliver remarks there and meet with local officials on the ground. then on wednesday the president will travel to florida to see the devastation after the impact of hurricane ian, one question is whether president biden will meet with florida governor ron desantis with whom president biden has many political differences. but he has said he's willing to

meet desantis and in this moment they need to put the political difference aside to focus on recovery efforts. president biden has said that the federal government will be there throughout the process of the recovery in both puerto rico and florida calling hurricane ian's impact not just a florida crisis but an american crisis. on sunday, the fema administrator offered advice to homeowners saying they should offer flood insurance even if it's not required. >> what i would say is that people need to understand that in certain areas we require flood insurance, everybody has the ability to purchase flood insurance. and if you live near water or where it rains, it can certainly flood and we have seen that in multiple storms this year. and so, again, going back to people understanding what their potential risk is and just because you're not required to buy flood insurance doesn't mean you don't have the option to buy

it. it is certainly your best defense to help protect your property in the aftermath of any of these storms. >> reporter: now florida is a state that has more flood insurance policies than any other state in the country but only 13% of homes in florida have that flood insurance and in those counties that face mandatory or voluntary evacuations, only 18% of homes had flood insurance. so many of these communities still recovering in what will be a very long process after so many homes and areas were damaged due to hurricane ian. arlette signs, cnn the white house. >> the supreme court begins its new term on monday and one change is the addition of justice ketanji brown jackson. the court's decision to overturn roe v. wade in june will continue to have implications on abortion rights this term. the justices will hear arguments on major cases including the

voting rights act and affirmative action in college admissions and consider cases on same-sex marriage issues and environmental laws. and we want to bring you market news as well. oil is high this hour, up more than 4% this comes as opec plus is considering reducing output later this week. oil prices have fallen each month since june as covid-19 lockdowns hurt consumers. we'll keep an eye on you this morning on cnn. there are growing calls for accountability in indonesia over saturday's deadly stadium disaster, 125 people were killed and more than 300 injured when chaos and violence erupted after a football match. authorities have opened an investigation into the police use of tear gas on the crowds. the club president of the home

team said he's ready to take full responsibility for the incident. meanwhile people are honoring the victims. ♪ hundreds gathered for a candle lit vigil on sunday, and members of the community laid flowers in a makeshift memorial just a short while ago. cnn correspondent will ripley is following this story from taipei. do we have any better sense of who's to blame here? >> reporter: certainly there are multiple investigations taking place right now max from a police international investigation into the 18 officers equipped with tear gas to at a government level you have the president ordering three ministers to look into various aspects of this. the way the football match was held, the number of tickets sold, the police response, the security set up.

in indonesia soccer is a passionate sport. people get so involved in these games that a lot of games they forbid away fans from attending. even when it was a friendly crowd when the out of town team lost, things turned really ugly quickly. starting with the fans but it was really the police response and the firing of tear gas that witnesses described, survivors describe, listen. >> translator: suddenly i heard people screaming and explosions. i didn't know whether it was fire croackers and then it becae difficult to breathe and my eyes got irritated and i saw smoke in one corner of the stand. >> reporter: i don't know if you've ever been teargassed, i have. your immediate reaction when you feel as if you're suffocating you run in the opposite direction. that's why fifa does not allow tear gas to be used to contain fans at sporting events it's not

allowed. why did the police have that? use it? why did they hit people and beat people, which is what they're accused of doing. the head of the football club did say that the team itself is ready to take full responsibility for this. >> translator: i would really like to, once again, apologize to all victims, to the families, to the people of indonesia, to all who were involved, to the football association of indonesia, to the police, to the president for the tragedy that happened. i, as the president, am ready to be fully responsible for the incident on october 1st, we are ready to give compensation, anything, to the victims, even though anything we do cannot bring back the victims. >> reporter: that is the point that's being made.

despite financial compensation offers for those injured and the families of the killed, you cannot replace somebody's child or parent. and the grieving process is just getting started. we're seeing the heartbreaking scenes, children were among the 125 killed. families never thought they'd be going to a football match to have fun with their friends, families and to never come home. it's something that people do not imagine could happen. it's being bralamed largely on e firing of the tear gas, kcreatig mass panic and people were suffocated, trampled. some people died in the stadium, a lot were so badly hurt, though, they died on the way to the hospital or shortly after arriving to the hospital. so the investigation into who's to blame, accountable, what they

need to do to prevent it again is under way. they're slated in indonesia to host an event next year, that fifa is organizing, soso it is important ququestions being ask right now. >> will, thank you. still to come, police clash with students at a prominent university in iran as crackdowns on anti. government protesters continue. we'll have a live report after the break. proven on skin like yours. aveeno®. healthy. it's our nature.™ (classical piano music) - in terms of the hate crimes. i think there is so much more work to be done to make that choice, toontinue to love.

police clash with students at a prominent university in tehran on sunday as the crackdown on anti-government dem demonstrations continued across iran. security forces fired less lethal pellets at students.

the protests started last month after a young woman was arrested by the morality police for not complying with hijab rules. the point is the fact that these protests continue against the big risk these protesters are taking. >> it's remarkable, max. as the government's crackdown seem to intensify and widen towards the end of last week, people are wondering if we're going to see the protests continue and that's what we saw this weekend. we saw thousands of university students with the new fall term starting, taking to the streets and protesting on campus. thousands across different cities including the capital, tehran, really defiant, determined. and then we saw yesterday evening reports begin to emerge of a disturbing incident, violent crackdown by the

authorities on protesters at a university in tehran, this is one of the country's most prestigious universities, and we've been trying to piece together what happened because communications in iran are very difficult right now. the government is restricting the internet so it's hard for us to reach people on the ground and it's very difficult for them to get information to the world. so as we have gbegun to piece this together according to the university's newspaper and an eyewitness that we have just spoken to, it appears this was the brutal force that was unleashed to try to crush the protests taking place at the university as you mentioned there, they were saying that the security forces opened fire using metal pellets, yes they're less lethal but still live rounds, they were using batons to beat the protesters,

containing them into the campus and encircling them according to these reports. we've seen horrifying video emerging of students with backpacks on their backs running through the university car park. really harrowing accounts we're getting of what transpired. a lot of concern about casualty figures we don't know how many people were hurt but one eyewitness we spoke to said he saw people who were wounded, injured in this confrontation with the security forces and a lot of concern as well for those who may have been detained. we don't know how many students were detained according to state media they said students returned to their dormitories and everything was calm after that but we're looking at how many student is were detained. and we spoke to one student who

said this crackdown made them more determined. this is a one way street and therere's no turning back. thank you. still to come, hurricane ian couldn't spoil a rematch in florida between the kansas city chiefs and the buccaneers. highlights just ahead. en we found shipstation. now we're ipping out orders 5 times faster and thanks to shipstation's discounted rates we're saving a ton. honestly, we couldn't do it without shipstation join over 100,000 online sellers who get ship done with shipstation go to shipstation.com /tv and get 2 months free.

the tampa bay buccaneers were able to play at home for their sunday night game after hurricane ian but they lost their rematch against kansas city. patrick mahomes threw for three touchdowns including this amazing toss. the chiefs won, 41-31. on the losing side, tom brady threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns but the normally stout buccaneers defense struggled in this one, allowing 28 points in the first half after giving up just 27 points total in the first three games of the season. green bay packers quarterback aaron rodgers reached a new league milestone on sunday, throwing his 500th career touchdown pass becoming

the fifth player in nfl history to do so. it came in the fourth quarter against the new england patriots. he linked up with romeo dobbs to send the game into overtime. the oakland raiders have their first win of the nfl season, facing a tough challenge from their division rivals, the denver broncos. russell wilson there with one of his three touchdowns. but josh jacobs finished with a career high 144 rushing yards and two touchdowns. oakland wins it 32-23. and the new york giants managed to defeat the chicago bears on sunday despite losing both of their quarterbacks to injury. daniel jones is limited with an ankle issue and his backup tyrod taylor was knocked out of the game with a concussion in the

fourth quarter. the giants went with extra running babacks and no true qb lalate into the gameme. new york held on for the w win, 20-12. thanks for joining me here on cnn "newsroom," i'm max foster in london. "early start" with christine romans is next.

. here we go. it is monday, october 3rd. 5:00 a.m. exactly in new york. i'm kristine romans. hurricane ian may be gone, but its devastation is still being re
