hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm max foster in london. just ahead -- this came apart on everyone

and i don't think everyone was prepared for anything. >> my heart is broken for them. how do you recoup? >> we couldn't cross our fingers and hope for the best. we have listened and have listened. this is a huge defeat for moscow. this is not going well. he's facing an unprecedented amount of criticism from within. >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. hello on this tuesday, october 4th. 9 a.m. here in london. 4 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. it's been six days since hurricane ian made landfall. the number of people killed has climbed past 100. authorities are holding out hope they will find survivors. so far the governor says they've made close to 2,000 rescues

including this one here. incredible video shows the u.s. coast guard saving a man and his neighbors from flood waters on sanibel island. that's in heavily damaged lee county where recovery efforts have been very difficult. that region accounts for about half of the state's 450,000 power outages and in fort myers beach officials don't expect the power to be back for another month. that's because the city's infrastructure has been largely wiped out. nearby authorities are flying into sanibel and pine island to restore power since the bridge there is still out. those places have been so hard hit and hard to reach officials have been delivering food by helicopter. officials say they don't have a time line for when residents can return to fort myers beach. layla san tiago is there and she

shows us the tough conditions rescue workers are facing. >> reporter: the rescue and recovery operation after hurricane ian continuing on the small white sand island of fort myers. an island that is a pile of rubble with more than 100 deaths so far, 54 reported in this county so far. >> search. >> anybody that may have been left behind. the devastation is hard to put into words. >> reporter: we joined a fema operation. not a singsle door being overlooked. >> send the dog in. sniff around. if we don't readily see them. we'll walk up and start hollering in. if we will hear anything, we'll bring a second dog up. >> reporter: as we walked around on fort myers beach, there is destruction everywhere. the water that came in here just decimated this area. a lot of people are asking us when will power come back? how long will it take to recover? it will be different for some folks. where i am standing right now,

this used to be a home. now stairs that lead to nowhere. >> the army is saying they're going to take us over the bridge. >> reporter: these two women who rode out the storm grateful for being transported. >> our eoc has made a decision with fort myers beach to close the beach to residents. >> reporter: officials deciding to close the island to search and rescue operations only. lee county officials have been criticized for issuing the first mandatory evacuations for only a day before landfall. >> i don't think it would have made a difference because we start pushing hurricane awareness in june. until people learn to follow the advisory, to plain not wait until it's too late, that's what will save lives. >> reporter: for fort myers resident connie miller, she said she realized she needed to get out when it was too late. hotels were already booked as she feared getting stuck on the

roads. >> god kept us together and gave us safety. >> reporter: and officials are standing by their decision. >> i am confident that our county manager, our leaders, our governor, all of us in law enforcement, that we got that message out at the right time. >> reporter: for many, coming back to a life here still very uncertain. >> i'm getting tired. it's time to go. obviously things aren't going to get better. not for a long time. >> reporter: and an update on connie who you just heard from, she has now left fort myers beach heading to pennsylvania so she was able to get out. you know, she echoed the same sentiment that we heard from others saying that there just didn't feel like enough time to get out when hurricane ian was close and making landfall, something that we heard over and over in this area today. layla santiago, cnn, fort myers beach. some residents of lee

county, florida, say officials took too long to order evacuations. state officials are adamant they did the best they could with the information they had available. here's florida's governor responding to that criticism. >> stop. stop, okay? it's been -- this has been dealt with. the lee county has explained what they did. they went through that. we have so many people that are here working hard trying to pull themselves up, so many people we need to be helping. we should be focusing on what we can do to do good. we should be focusing on lifting people up and stop incessantly talking and casting aspersions on people doing the best job they could with imperfect information. >> one bright note in all of the chaos was the story of a florida man who was able to save his mother. johnny lauda swam nearly a kilometer, half a mile through the florida waters to save his

wheelchair bound mother. >> we're looking at 4 feet of water. i've been swimming forever. oh, my god. we're arriving to grandmas. i don't know what time it is, 3:41. >> and this is how he found his mother, with water up to her neck and shaking from the cold. he was able to get her out of the water until help could be found. >> status update for the family. it's now 6:30. the aftermath of ian with my mom. we got her up on a table wrapped up so she doesn't go into hypothermia. she only has one leg so it's going to be very difficult to get out of here. she basically lost everything. i live closer to the water so i know everything is gone as well. >> hours later the two made it out of the house.

here's what louda told cnn about the experience. >> with a sigh of relief as i was approaching the house i couldn't get through the front door. i heard her screaming inside. she was actually on the phone with my youngest son who was giving status updates to her. it was a scare and a sigh of relief. a scare thinking she might be hurt but a sigh of relief knowing there was air in her lungs. when i got to the back window and i got it open i snapped a picture so the family would know she's fine. i've never seen her happier to see me in my whole life. >> he said her mother is in hospital being treated for bacterial infection, otherwise she's fine. the last remnants of hurricane ian are still causing trouble. major tidal flooding is expected in virginia. they closed the state's beaches

though some are set to resume normal operations. cities under numerous alerts ranging from coastal flood warnings to high surf advisories. meteorologist pedram javaheri is here with the latest forecast. >> max, great seeing you. the disturbance off the coast of the northeastern united states. this is not ian. remnants of moisture that's been trained into this feature. with it the counterclockwise flow. the northeasterly winds that are producing the high surf along the eastern coast line. coastal communities have seen plenty of rainfall in recent days as ian rained itself out across the landscape. another round possible around the region and some concerns for coastal inundation. water levels up to 1, 2 feet above the normal values along the coast there for the afternoon. some beach erosion is going to be possible for coastal floodings. other areas a little farther to

the south, 2 to 4 foot inundation as well. estimated totals going back to the last fridays portions of the carolinas to the northeast. 4 to 6 inches widespread. pockets of rainfall have been observed. the last 48 hours quite a bit of rainfall centered across the northeast. pesky storm system taking what's left of ian. atlantic city picked up an inch and a half of rainfall. besting 1.17. it will finally fizzle out. weaken. by this afternoon point of sea will see the conditions improving. still could see pockets of heavy rainfall going into the afternoon and evening hours. notice some gusty winds. this is the problem, right? you see the winds get up to 30, close to 40 plus miles an hour at least for a period of a few hours later on this afternoon and evening. could lead to additional

flooding in the immediate coastal communities. around the southwest, wet weather and beneficial rain for people around the southwest. parts of arizona in 95 plus percent drought. we've cut that almost in half across the monsoon season. areas of new mexico, extensive wildfire situation. dra drought situation with 75% of coverage. rainfall is beneficial for some. >> pedram, thank you very much, indeed. the u.s. president is pledging $60 million to help refund the defenses against storms after it was ravaged by fiona. joe biden visited the island on monday. he acknowledged the government has failed them during other emergencies including in response to hurricane maria in 2017. he says his administration will do better. >> after maria congress approved billions of dollars for puerto

rico, much of it not having gotten here initially. we're going to make sure you get every single dollar promised. i'm determined to help puerto rico build faster than in the past and stronger and getter prepared for the future. mr. mr. biden will also survey the storm damage in florida on wednesday. unclear if he'll lead with the state's governor. go to cnn.com/impact if you want to help for more information. now newly released records from the u.s. national archives show the agency alerted lawyers for donald trump in may of last year they were missing two dozen boxes of records. amongst them letters from north korean leader kim jong-un. the archives say the documents were not turned over as promised by the white house counsel pat cipo cipollone. the president instructed one of the attorneys to tell the archives all records were

returned. according to multiple sources cannon refused the order and trump told him not to involve him self any further. >> this is a raving red flag. any time donald trump says something publicly or wants to argue something in court and the lawyers say, no can do. the reason is, yes, as we discussed, lawyers have very broad latitude in the kind of things you can argue. you have a duty to argue vigorously for your client, however, you cannot lie to a court under court ethics rule and you hour as heck cannot lie to investigators whether they're from the archives or the fbi because that is a federal crime. >> new outlook provides insight as to what donald trump was doing during the january 6th capitol riot. maggie havalon sat down with the former president in november. here's part of their conversation. >> what were you doing when --

how did you find out that there were people storming the capitol? >> i had heard that afterwards. actually, on the late side. i was having meetings. i was also with mark meadows and others. i was not watching television. i didn't have the television on. >> you weren't? okay. >> i didn't usually have the television on. i'd have it on if there was something. i later turned it on and i saw what was happening. >> well, a number of witnesses have told the house committee investigating january 6th that trump was watching the riot unfold on the television. meanwhile, a historic trial is underway in washington on the january 6th attack. federal prosecutors made their opening statements on monday begins five defendants who concocted a plan for armed rebellion. the five members of the oath keepers have pleaded not guilty to the charges of seditious conspiracy amongst other charges. cnn's sara sidner has more from

day one of the trial. >> reporter: jurors deciding the fate of the five defendants facing seditious conspiracy charges for their role in a january 6th capitol attack heard from federal prosecutor jeff nestler first. in the opening statement he said the defendants concocted a plan for armed rebellion. he played videos like this one. >> we're in the [ bleep ]. >> reporter: showing members of the far right militia style group storming the capitol. they used their military experience plotting to oppose by force the government of the united states, the prosecutor said. it is the most serious charge anyone has faced from that day and very rare. >> it is a precedent in the sense that we've never had a violent transfer of power from one president to another. that makes this absolutely unique event in american history. >> reporter: prosecutors using some of the hundreds of hours of video including this showing the oath keepers wearing combat gear, moving in a military step

formation. 40-year-old jessica watkins is an army veteran. 53-year-old florida man kelly mez all went inside of the two of the charged did not. >> every single [ bleep ] in there is a traitor. every single one. >> reporter: that's navy veteran thomas caldwell, an associate outside of the capitol talking about members of congress and the founder of the oath keepers, stewart rhodes, army veteran, was the general of the entire operation. but the defense attorney for rhodes said in his opening statement said the government's story of the oath keepers role on january 6th is completely wrong and they will prove it. he said, our clients had no part in the bulk of that violence and they were a peacekeeping force awaiting president donald trump to invoke the insurrection act. an attorney for jessica watkins

said his transgender client has had trouble fitting in calling her a protest junkie. she couldn't have been there to stop joe biden's electoral win because she believed the certification was done by the time she got there. caldwell's attorney went after the government for misstatements. for first saying caldwell was the mastermind but later saying rhodes was. this is the biggest bait and switch in the history of the american justice system for what they're doing here. >> there are five defendants and five attorneys who can speak for their client at a different time. it's going to be a long trial. after the defense tried to tear apart the government's case, we heard from the government's first witness. the first witness was an fbi agent who said that day he was later called in to help secure the senators and he said as he went into the capitol it looked like a bomb went in there

because of the destruction. he witnessed at some point members of congress, including senators, crying. sara sidner, cnn, washington. protests in a plunging pound protesting liz truss. live in birmingham. plus this -- north korea launches a ballistic missile over the skies of japan forcing the citizens to take cover. details from seoul and tokyo. also this. anger spills over in iran as ththousands of students lash ou at the government and demand regime change. reactionon coming from iran's supreme leader and the u.s. new science shows it gets in between teeth to destroy 5x more plaqu

the european markets, they are looking also extremely positive. you see the brent shares up nearly 3%. energy regulators here in the u.k. are warning of a particularly challenging difficult winter. there could be shortages in the u.k. as well. the spokesperson says domestic gas production is good and supplies from norway are reliable. the people should be prepared for all scenarios. this as the british government is promising details soon on the new fiscal plan after monday's embarrassing u-turn. prime minister liz truss and her prime minister are abandoning to cut taxes on the wealthiest while much of the country is stru struggling. that wasn't the only u-turn yesterday, bianca. >> reporter: no.

there was the big u-turn which has captured the reversal of cutting the top rate tax. also we've had a u-turn because the chancellor has said he's going to publish the forecast earlier than was initially expected. one of the main issues the public had was the lack of transparency about what the office of finance was going to say. he's brought that ford. that was another concession. that speaks to a concern i'm hearing from the mps here at party conference which is now that the prime minister's already very low political capital has been diminished by this and poor political interviews, they're not afraid to push back against the government which is leading to a very rebellious party, one which is quite unruly and difficult for the prime minister to

manage. there is concern even if she manages to stay in post for the next year or until the next election, that she'll pretty much be functioning as a lame duck prime minister which is a very difficult position to lead from, max. >> okay. thank you very much. more from you throughout the day. now for the first time in five years, north korea has fired a ballistic missile directly over japan. an escalation condemned by tokyo and washington. they believe the missile was launched shortly before 7:30 local time tuesday morning traveling over japan's northernmost island of hokkaido. residents on the island were warned to take cover and train services were suspended before the missile crashed into the pacific ocean. cnn's paula hancocks is

following developments from seoul and blake essig is standing by in seoul. this was a frightening moment. this hasn't happened in so many years. >> reporter: yeah. max, i've got to tell you, it's an uneasy feeling to wake up and learn that a north korean missile is headed in your direction. as a result of this morning's launch, the japanese government issued a rare j alert. this morning that j alert was issued to areas believed to be at risk, specifically japan's northernmost island of hokkaido while sirens could also be heard here in tokyo. take a listen. despite the warning and those

sirens, life continued as normal across japan with many people apparently ignoring the warnings. some wrote on social media that despite the air raid warning and initial concern that a missile was heading their way, nothing could be done so most people just continued to go to work and went about their life as normal. while people here in japan are seemingly used to north korea's routine missile tests at this point, this morning's launch does amplify an already tense security environment and at a press conference a short time after the missile was fired they called north korea's missile test outrageous and the threat to the public now. this isn't the first time north korea has launched a missile that flew over japan. they believe the missile test today was a hwasong 12 ballistic missile which flew over japan in 2017 making it the third time that missile has flown over japan and the eighth time it's been tested, max.

>> paula, what reaction from south korea and the u.s.? >> reporter: well, max, it's been very strong. it's a condemnation from both sides. the jcs, joint chiefs of staff saying it's a serious provocation. it threatens peace and security on the korean peninsula and the white house statement we saw picks up on something that is of great concern to the region, the fact that this was a launch which had no warning and went across japan and into the waters of their east coast there and of course there were flights, there were ships in that area as well. the white house saying that it shows blatant disregard for united nations security resolutions and international safety norms. so there has been more concern about this particular launch. there's been a flurry of activity from pyongyang in recent days. in fact, this is the fifth missile launch in just ten days,

but this is the most significant one. it is an escalation. the fact it's an intermediate range ballistic missile and it flew, according to japan's chief cabinet secretary, for some 20 minutes before falling into the water. now one other point i want to make as well, max, is the fact that there's also an interkorean hotline between north and south korea. this is a phone call that's made in the morning and in the evening and according to the unification ministry, the phone call that happened this morning was not picked up by north korea. so they're not sticking to the norms in the agreements between the two koreas. there's also a military hotline that was answered by north korea, to make sure there's no miscalculation between the two koreas. certainly there is great concern that this escalation is happening at this point. we've seen 23 missile launches this year alone, that's

ballistic missiles and cruz missiles and that's a record for north korea. >> paula, thank you both very much indeed. still to come, ukrainian forces making gains on the battlefield as russia's parliament leans forward on annexing four ukrainian regions. the latest on all the developments left. plus, she made headldlines after holding g up an anti-war poster on russian state-run tv and now the journalist has been declared a fugitive. we'll explain why next. oking toe on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are t three ps? the three ps of life insuranc on a fixed budget are price, price, and pre. a price you n afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month.

welcome to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster. if you are just joining us, let me bring you up to date with our

top stories at this hour. the death toll in florida is at least now 100 after hurricane ian slammed the state just six days ago. authorities say hundreds of rescues have been carried out in hard-hit lee county where power is still out to more than 400,000 residents. and north korea has launched a ballistic missile over japan. it traveled over japan's northernmost island of hokkaido where residents were warned to take cover. much more on both of these stories ahead in "early start." vladimir putin's decision to illegally annex four regions has just received the rubber stamp from russia's upper house of parliament. the unanimous vote follows the lower house vote on donetsk, luhansk, kherson and zaporizhzhia regions. moscow launched ahead with the land grab despite the fact it's

against law. claire sebastian is joining me now. is it awkward or are they not getting the message that ukrainians are taking control. >> the significant thing we see in the russian parliament is not that it makes any difference because president putin has decided to hold this sort of sham annexation but that they are trying to give an official sort of front, build this h ediface and they are not decided in zaporizhzhia and kherson but where they continue to lose areas in donetsk and luhansk and they were supposed to have a jubilant mood bringing the territories under russian control. in the dumar session several

parliamentarians talked about the army, how they don't have enough equipment, commanders are making the wrong decisions in the eyes of some of them. none of these from putin's party questioning why they're signing the agreement in part of territories which are occupied by the armed forces of another country. questions are arising even as these annexations take place. >> people will remember the viral moment when a news editor stood up and gave an anti-war protest placard in the studio. she was put under house arrest. she's escaped? >> yes. she's a journalist with state tv 1. yes. see this in march, she ran in front of a live broadcast with this no war poster. she left russia, came back. she was then arrested again in august and placed under a 2-month house arrest for charges of disseminating false information about the russian forces, charges which carry

10-year. it was set to end on october 9th but they say she's gone. she left on saturday with their daughter. we don't know where she's gone, max. all of this sort of sheds more light on the crackdown on the information and how it's a setback for russia on how it's trying to contain misinformation. >> interesting to see where we see her next. ukraine is looking to bolster their position on the battlefield. tooef is ofkyiv is offering washington with a list of their intended targets. >> reporter: ukraine continues to push for bigger and more sophisticated weapons from the west and the united states. now they are doing so by offering the u.s. a remarkable level of transparency, sharing the russian targets that ukraine intends to hit with the rockets

that they're asking the u.s. for. now at the top of the ukrainian wish list is a long range u.s. missile system called attackers. so far the u.s. has resisted giving ukraine the attackums. they fear it could be fired into russia and escalate the war. russia has said this would cross a red line and make the u.s. a party to the conflict if those american rockets are given to ukraine. attackums can fly around 200 miles or 300 kilometers. that's four times the distance of the longest range rocket that has been given to ukraine by the u.s. so far. that rocket is fired from the himar system we have talked about so much for several months. ukraine says they need the longer range attackums now to reach russian targets in ukraine that they cannot currently strike in the eastern and southern parts of ukraine, including crimea. targets like ammunitions depots, air defenses, bases and as one

u.s. source told cnn, locations where russia is launching iranian drones from. to try to comfort the u.s. and convince them to offer the long range attackum rockets, ukraine is offering oversight of what they want to blow up. as one senior ukrainian official put it to me, they have described to the u.s. exactly what specific targets ukraine needs to hit on ukrainian territory. that would give the u.s. veto power over ukraine's ability to target inside russia with these rockets which ukraine argues they would not do. they could have done before and they have not with the u.s.himars systems. that argument has failed to sway the u.s. so far. one u.s. official said it is, quote, low reward and high risk. ukraine has the rockets it n nes for the current fight against russia.

the u.s. supreme court kicked off their new term monday adding nine cases to the docket including two that could shape the future of internet speech and social media. cnn's jessica schneider has more on what other cases lie ahead. >> reporter: it is the start of the supreme court term complete with a new justice and no shortage of consequential and controversial cases again this term. the newest justice ketanji brown jac jackson was quite active.

there is a major case of section 2 of the voting rights act which says the right to vote cannot be denied on the basis of race and how that provision affects newly drawn congressional districts in alabama. plus, race will be at the forefront when the court hears an affirmative action case later this month. the case which could up end two decades of precedent allowing colleges to consider race as a factor in admissions decisions. plus, the court will also be considering a case on whether businesses can refuse to serve same-sex couples. so a lot at play this term. all as tensions between the justices continue to play out in public. just last week the conservative justice samuel alito issued a statement directly to the publication of the wall street journal, something the justices rarely do, to say anyone questioning the integrity of the court is crossing an important line. it's a statement that seemed to be aimed at the two local justices, sonia sotomayor and elena kagan.

they questioned the court's legitimacy if precedent continues to be overturned. it could be yet another tense term for these nine justices. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. a damning investigative report shows verbal, sexual misconduct by the u.s. women's soccer league. the very first page details a disturbing encounter between a coach and a player reviewing game footage together. quote, he told her he was going to touch her for every pass she f'd up. he pushed his hands down her pants and up her shirt. >> this is very emotional for me and honestly i'm having trouble absorbing everything in the

report. i think it will take time to read through it and think about the actions and inactions of certain people and then it will take us some time to really think about what needs to be done in terms of discipline. >> the report's lead investigator said a culture of emotional abuse is starting in youth leagues. the iranian government's crackdown of peaceful protestors and vows washington will impose further costs after ayatollah khamenei accused the u.s. of fueling unrest w. me is nada bashir following all of the developments. >> this isn't the first time we've heard the supreme leader of iran accusing the u.s. and

israel of interfering. this is the first time we've heard khamenei talk about the violent crackdown. he addressed the death of the 20-year-old who was obviously killed and sparked these protests. he said it was a tragic incident that saddened the entire country. he focused much of his remarks on the people he described as inciting violence and insecurity on the country and went onto the u.s. and israel. he said they attempted to get in the way of what he described as iran's progress in the face of western sanctions. now, of course, there has been fierce international criticism of the violent crackdown we have seen over the weekend and the recent days in iran. we've heard from the u.s., as you mentioned, saying they are looking to impose tougher costs against these peaceful protestors. canada has said it will be looking at expanding the

sanctions and here in england, they are calling on the iranian regime to take responsibility for the violence we're seeing, stop blaming this on external actors. that will be the focus of an eu meeting where they will discuss proposals for perhaps tougher sanctions on iran and also how they will hold the iranian regime to account. >> nada, thank you. still to come on the program. as florida businesseses plead wh the u.s. government for help, we'll take a look at how hurricane ian could have a lasting impact on the u.s. economy. go to sofi.com to view your rate. sofi get your money right. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. tastes great in our iced coffees too. whicmakes waking up at 5 a.m. to milk the cows a little easier.
