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. >> they don't always rule in donald trump's favor. yes, they've been unpredictable but they've also denied donald trump many times over. >> he hasn't had many wins in this case except appointing a

special master and that has turned out to back fire on him. >> when we were locked out it was something like a war zone. >> it's going to hit home. it's going to be emotional when they see their properties up close. >> everything that you see is being contested by the ukrainians. >> the russians have completely dropped any pretexts that this is going well. >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. it is wednesday, october 5th, 9 a.m. here in london. 4 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. it's been a week since hurricane ian slammed into florida and u.s. president joe biden is expected to visit hard-hit fort myers in the coming hours. he'll meet with governor ron desantis, fema and officials to assess the damage there.

meanwhile, florida residents are returning. it will be a difficult transition for those who call the island home. >> what they'll see is really an up close look at destruction that they've seen from the video clips on the news and some other photos that may have been shared through local sources and it's going to hit home. it's going to be emotional when they see their properties up close and the amount of damage that this storm inflicted upon them. >> governor desantis announced immediate repairs will be made to the san i bell skaus way. it pails in comparison to the lives taken. 109 deaths have been reported in the u.s. so far. thousands of rescues have been

made in florida alone. some areas said to be completely unlivable. cnn's layla santiago rode along with rescue crews searching for survivors. >> reporter: by land, by water, the search continues across the hard-hit area across lee county florida nearly a week after hurricane ian left behind total devastation and more than 100 people dead. the central rescue task force is still looking for survivors. their mission, get to the man groves on the barrier island of sanibel which was cut off. >> there's a large population of commercial shrimp vessels and mooring fields where people live on sailboats and cabin cruisers year round. many of the people will ride out a storm on their boat. that's their home. many of those vessels have been pushed deep into the mangroves in an inaccessible area so we're taking small boats to get into

the backwater areas. >> reporter: these are the boats that will carry in the search and rescue teams. they'll go 45 minutes near sanibel into the mangrove to find boats. this is what they're coming up with. >> the inaccessibility is the toughest part. >> this is the bridge to sanibel. you can see it's collapsed over here and the road just completely caved in right over here by the water. for the first time since the storm, residents of sanibel will be allowed to get back on the island by private boats to inspect their property. >> my heart is breaking knowing what we're all going to be facing tomorrow. i'm going to see my home tomorrow as well. >> reporter: not the case for those who live on fort myers beach. they were ordered to leave the barrier island with no guarantee of when they'll be allowed to return. corinne goldshen was dropped off where friends and families are reuniting with those who rode out the storm.

>> shock and disbelief that such a massive storm came through here, you know? we were warned. we knew it was going to be big. you know, we made that choice to stay. my island of paradise is gone as i knew it. >> reporter: more than 400,000 people are still without power and many on these barrier islands may not have it for up to a month. still, they're holding out hope. >> we're strong people. we'll get through it. we'll rebuild and come back. >> reporter: we talked about the boats in our story. you'll see the boats behind me that have washed up here. this is a fishing community where the shrimpers here will be quick to tell you we have provided food for this country for decades and now they feel left behind saying they would just love to be able to hear from a government official providing help or just wash their hands or get a warm bath. they feel like they've been left behind. layla santiago, cnn, fort myers beach, florida. >> if you'd like to help those

impacted by hurricane ian go to cnn.com/impact for more information. the u.s. justice department is facing a tuesday deadline to respond to the latest legal maneuvering from donald trump. lawyers for the former president are asking the supreme court to intervene in the dispute over a trove of classified documents seized from trump's mar-a-lago estate. cnn's jessica schneider is following the case for us. >> reporter: former president trump's legal team asking the supreme court to step in to this ongoing saga over the documents taken from mar-a-lago. trump's lawyers filing an emergency request at the supreme court asking the justices to once again let the special master reviewing all of these documents seized regain access specifically to 100 classified documents. if the special master were to get access to those classified records, that would actually mean trump's legal team would also get to see them. that's something they've long been fighting for. this was a very narrow emergency appeal to the supreme court on

very technical grounds. they basically said the 11th circuit never even had the authority to stop the special master from reviewing those classified documents in the first place. this request from trump's team, it did go directly to justice clarence thomas, a conservative. he oversees all petitions coming in from the 11th circuit. he has sell the a deadline for next tuesday for the justice department to respond to this. eventually though all nine justices will likely weigh in on this. trump has appealed to the supreme court several times in the past few years with little luck though. there have not been favorable outcomes for him. in fact, earlier this year the justices allowed the january 6th select committee to get access to trump's white house records dye spite trump's objections. back in 2020 they ruled he could not block his financial documents from prosecutors in new york. since this was filed as an emergency order the justices can potentially rule very quickly here after doj responds early next week, so we'll see how

quickly the court moves and what they do. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. the motion from trump's lawyers is a narrow legal request and comes as the nation's top court faces a lack of confidence from the american public. here's what cnn legal analyst hs to say about it. >> this will certainly slow the proceeding down, and most importantly, even if the former president were to win this appeal, it really wouldn't change the outcome of the proceedings in any meaningful way. the justice department would still have access to the documents as they do right now. >> all the different cases that donald trump has brought to the supreme court as an individual, you know, the financial documents cases that we had back in 2020, the election requests that he made at the end of 2020 and just earlier this year when he was trying to block from the archives, he's lost all of

those. this one looks to be set up to be a loser. >> we don't know what the supreme court will decide of course. we'll bring you that decision when it happens in the days ahead. meanwhile, the u.s. justice department has its hands full in another case. five people are facing seditious conspiracy. on tuesday prosecutors played a secret recording showing how planning for the violence started. >> it's going to be a fight but let's do it smart and do it well. >> prosecutors say the defendants discussed in details their plans to bring weapons to the capitol. >> tasers and stun guns are legal. it doesn't hurt to have a led pipe with a flag on it. for example, walking through the streets of portland i was unarmed but i had my helmet in

my hand. guess what that was for? that was to whack someone across the face. >> all five defendants have pleaded not guilty. if they are convicted they could face up to 20 years in prison. a day after north korea launched a ballistic missile, the u.s. and south korea test fired four missiles off the peninsula in a show of force. in a separate exercise south korea says a locally made missile crashed due to its abnormal flight and the incident is under investigation. meanwhile, u.s. president joe biden and japanese prime minister fumio kishida talked about the launch and vowed to have the denuclearization of north korea. this response from the south confused some people and worried some people in their own country. >> reporter: well, certainly the fact that one of those missiles

did fail and appeared to crash was of concern to some of those in the area, but what we saw here, max, was a really coordinated effort by both the u.s. and south korea. they actually carried out two separate exercises in less than 24 hours. both of them intended to give a message to north korea. so firing missiles off the east coast of korea and then also having bombing drills with fighter jets off the west coast of korea. so we heard from john kirby who was on cnn just after those drills had taken place, and he was talking about how this was a message to north korea to show that if the u.s. and south korea wanted to, they had the military capability to strike back. >> we have made it clear to kim jong-un. we're willing to sit down with no pre-conditions. we want to see the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. he hasn't shown an inclination

to move in that direction. he's moving in the opposite direction. we have to make sure we have the readiness in place to meet our treaty obligations in the region and we're going to do that. >> reporter: kirby pointing to something there that many experts also agree with, the fact that this is just expected to escalate with north korea, or at the very least they will continue to carry out these missile launches while showing no interests whatsoever in the negotiations or any diplomatic avenues being open. there is a seventh underground nuclear test that the national intelligence agency here in korea, speaking to lawmakers recently, had a short window between october 17th and november 7th when they thought it was possible that that nuclear test would happen just after the chinese party congress as pyongyang does not want to anger beijing and just before the u.s. mid-term elections. now of course there's no

guarantee it will happen within those times but it just shows how closely intelligence agencies are looking out for that. they have been saying since march they believe north korea is ready, they're prepared, they're capable, they're just waiting for the political will. max? >> paula hancocks live from seoul. thank you. now twitter's stock surged on tuesday on word that elon musk is offering to buy the social media giant at the full original price of $44 billion. it's a major reversal for the richest person in the world who had been facing a lawsuit the company filed over his attempt to back out of the deal. we have the details from new york. >> reporter: this is app amazing plot twist. there's been a lot of corporate battles over the years, but we've never seen anything quite like this. only elon musk could deliver it. so twitter shares rising sharply on reports that elon musk is going to reverse himself and try to get this deal closed at the originally proposed $54.20 and

then we got confirmation elon musk representatives said in a letter yesterday that was made public that musk does plan to go forward with this deal at the originally proposed terms. then twitter put out a statement saying they received a letter from musk's representatives and they plan to close the deal at $54.20. this is a shocker because this battle was set to go to trial in just under two weeks in delaware. the problem for elon musk is he was seen widely as the underdog in this battle. he wanted to walk away from the deal. he said he had concerns about bots on twitter but he had a signed contract and you can't just rip that up. maybe elon musk decided he saw the writing on the wall and he wanted to end this on his own terms. what's puzzling, he didn't try to get a discount here.

that was viewed very rich three months ago. you have to wonder why he didn't try to negotiate to get a discount here. things could move very quickly from here. it appears that twitter is taking this at face value. if they end up dropping this lawsuit, they could end up getting this clear canned very quickly. they may want to move fast because they don't know if elop musk is going to change his mind again. regulators have already signed off. shareholders have signed off. this was the last obstacle. it's possible to see this deal get wrapped up in days which means we could have a situation where the world's richest person is going to control one of the most influential social media platforms and that, of course, raises so many questions about freedom of speech and misinformation. back to you guys. now still to come, oil prices could still soon be back on the rise. it all depends what opec

ministers do when they meet in a few hours' time. herschel walker's campaign against raphael warnock is reeling after reports accusing him of paying for an abortion. plus, russian forces see significant losses as ukraine pushes forward in the south. we'll have the very latest just ahead.

a grim economic milestone. the u.s. national debt has soared above $31 trillion for the first time ever. the federal government borrowed heavily earlier during the pandemic to shore up the economy but interest rates were much lower. now they've shot up and that makes u.s. debt even costlier. this is happening amid inflation and recessionary fears as well. those recession fears may be returning for investors after heavy two days of gains in the u.s. stock market. the opening bell at the new york stock exchange is about five hours away. here's how the u.s. futures are shaping up. as you look at them, not great but below 1%. the dow surged for the second straight day up 825 points.

it's now back above the key 30,000 milestone and no longer in a bear market. here's a look at oil prices ahead of a key meeting by opec oil ministers. brent crude is hovering around $30 a barrel. they will meet in vienna in just a few hours to discuss slashing oil production to boost those prices. if oil prices do rise, drivers will see gas prices shoot back up and the biden administration is trying to keep that from happening. cnn's alex marcotte has details on the full-court press it's putting on opec. >> reporter: the biden administration has launched a full scale diplomatic pressure campaign in a last-ditch effort to get the allies to not cut the oil production. it is expected to announce a significant cut in output in an

effort to raise oil prices which, in turn, would cause u.s. gas prices to rise at a precarious time for the white house. just five weeks before the mid-term elections. the past several days president joe biden's most senior energy, economic and foreign policy officials have been enlisted for a frn particular effort to lobby their foreign counterparts in kuwait, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates to vote against cutting oil production. draft documents were sent from the white house to the treasury department monday which called the prospect of a production cut a total disaster and warned that it could be taken by the u.s. as a hostile act. the white house has asked secretary janet yellen to make the case personally to some of her gulf state counterparts. the white house is having a spasm and panicking. another u.s. official said, quote, it's important that everyone is aware of just how

high the stakes are. for president biden a dramatic cut in oil production could not come at a worse time. the administration has for months engaged in intensive diplomatic and foreign policy efforts to mitigate soaring energy prices in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine. that work did appear to pay off with u.s. gas prices falling for almost 100 days in a row. but with just a month to go before the critical mid-term elections, u.s. gas prices have begun to creep up again proposing a critical risk the u.s. is trying to avoid. an advance for ukrainian forces is spelling significant losses on the battlefield. zelenskyy says his troops are advancing further towards kherson. this as ukrainian forces raise the nation's flag over more liberated towns and one official says troops are breaking through

russian forces in the kherson region. ukraine's president is praising his army's achievements. >> translator: the ukrainian army is quite rapidly and powerfully advancing in the south of our country as part of the current defense operation. >> scott mcclain is following developments for us. incredible progress really on the ukrainian side. how are they doing it? >> reporter: well, even the russians are acknowledging there is progress being made. you know, there's a series of reasons why the russians say the ukrainians have been so suc succ successful. it's remarkable how quickly they've acknowledged it. a russian briefing, two of them. one took place yesterday and another yesterday. a series of maps show the situation. the map on the left shows monday's -- the map from monday's military briefing. the one on the right is from tuesday's. the pink is russian occupied areas, the white is ukrainian. look at the area left of the

blue part. that's the dnipro river. this is russia acknowledging they are losing territory in the southern part of the country after they also lost territory in the eastern part of the country, specifically the key town of lyman. this is showing how the front lines have changed and the russian troop presence how they have started to shrink or started to stall. russian media is even acknowledging that things are not going well. case in point, of course, a correspondent from a pro russian tabloid who is embedded in lyman said, look, there's not going to be any good news from the front lines either in the east or south. the ukrainians have advantages when it comes to intelligence gathering and they have better prepared troops that are actually showing up on the front lines. while the russians simply don't have the manpower. this is echoed by a quite prominent war correspondent from

russian state tv who says, look, the weapons deliveries from the u.s. are definitely having an impact and also the russians simply don't have the manpower. they have enough to hold the line at the moment but he says that it will be some two months before they can make any significant headway actually advancing. one other thing to point out, max, that is clearly there's no shortage of ammunition though. just this morning there were -- the ukrainians reported kamikaze drone strikes. one hit in a town south of kyiv. the other was aimed, the ukrainians say at odessa though that one was shot down. >> scott, thank you. the son of nfl star turned politician herschel walker blasts him on social media after a report that could hurt his father's campaign for u.s. senate. the allegations and the family drama just ahead. plus, the speech of a lifetime for british prime minister liz truss. how she plans to save her economic agenda, maybe even her political career.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster. if you are just joining us let me bring you up to date with top stories at this hour. u.s. president joe biden will arrive in florida in hours to survey the damage left from hurricane ian. the storm killed at least 105 people in florida. that number could rise as officials continue to search for survivors. the u.s. and south korea conducted four missile tests off the peninsula. much more ahead on both of these stories on "early start." the u.s. mid-term elections

are five weeks away, but in the battleground state of georgia early voting begins in less than two weeks. the state is now home to a growing scandal in the senate race that has republicans in damage control mode. they are rallying around former football star and republican nominee her shell walker who is accused of paying for his then girlfriend to have an abortion. walker is in a tight race against incumbent democratic senator warnock. manu raju has this story. >> reporter: herschel walker's senate campaign now reeling up ended by an explosive report alleging he paid for a girlfriend to get the procedure for a child they conceived 13 years ago. >> i never paid for an abortion and it's a lie. >> reporter: walker stayed behind closed doors on tuesday with his aides refusing to disclose his schedule. even after he initially agreed to say where he would campaign this week. cnn, however, did obtain an invitation to an event hosted by prayer warriors for herschel at

a baptist church in atlanta but cnn was not allowed to cover the event or wait in the parking lot even as a leading conservative activist ralph weed came outside to defend the candidate. >> i will promise you this, the voters for georgia are going to reject this kind of gutter politics. >> will you tell herschel walker to come out here and answer these questions himself. >> this is a closed event, a prayer event with faith leaders. >> reporter: according to "the daily beast" he reimbursed his girlfriend $700 for the abortion. the woman has not been named and we have not verified the report. he sent a get well card signed by h telling the woman, pray you're feeling better. >> i sent out so many get well, sent out so much of anything, but i can tell you right now, i never asked anyone to get an abortion. >> reporter: one of walker's sons, christian walker, lashing

out publicly from his father. >> don't lie for the lives you've destroyed. >> walker tweeted i love my son no matter what. >> can you respond to christian walker saying this is a lie, sir? >> i gave my statement. >> so many battleground states the supreme court's decision to strike down roe v. wade putting abortion front and center especially for suburban women. >> abortion is certainly a driving issue for me. >> reporter: senator raphael warnock the democratic incumbent tapping into the issue at a campaign event outside of atlanta. >> the patient's room is too small for a woman, her doctor and the united states government. that's just too many people in the room. >> reporter: but the fresh man democrat side stepping stories about the impact on the race. >> reporter: senator, do you believe the story? >> i honestly haven't had a chance to think about it. >> reporter: they have spent $76 million on the ads here, $10

million more than the gop attacking walker's complicated past. they're hoping warnock's ties to an unpopular president biden and concerns over inflation and crime -- >> raphael warnock -- >> reporter: will be enough to overcome walker's problems. keeping biden at an arm's length. >> do you think joe biden should run for re-election? >> part of the problem in american politics is too much of the conversation is about the politicians. >> reporter: manu raju, cnn, atlanta. today is liz truss's day in the spotlight at a conservative party conference in england. instead of celebrating her new role as british prime minister, she is fighting for her political life. a series of missteps have brought criticism from labor and toris alike. bianca, this really is the speech of her life.

>> reporter: this is the key moment and if you can hear a little hubbub in the background, max, that's because delegates are starting to make their room towards where truss will be addressing the conference. the stakes couldn't be higher. this has been an unqualified political disaster for the prime minister and the government, from u-turns to cabinet members openly breaking ranks which is highly unusual. you get the rebellious back benchers. when your own cabinet is coming out of their policies instead of pushing you into a corner, that is unusual. truss will try to unite the party in her speech after what has been such a difficult conference for her although according to what she's telling people in the british media, she's still enjoying being prime minister. >> are you enjoying being prime minister? >> i am. it's a challenging role. it's a challenging time, but what i am focused on is delivering for the british people. >> reporter: is it harder than you thought?

>> i came in with very clear expectations that this was a tough time for our country but i'm prepared to do what it takes to get us through these difficult times, to get us through this difficult winter and to come out stronger as a country. thank you. >> reporter: so, max, the prime minister will, according to people i've been speaking to, need to show some contrition and apologize or at least acknowledge this u-turn that's occurred and perhaps say she was so impatient to get growth going that it wasn't well briefed to the markets, that it wasn't well argued to the posse and the country at large. but she really has her work cut out for her. and as an mp was saying to me yesterday, when a politician shows you who they are, you usually have to believe them the first time. they don't believe that lurking beneath the actions of the last month is a very different politician that's been hiding this charisma, this ability to

unite and take the political temperature. so a lot is at stake today with the speech, max. and basically nobody that i've spoken to thinks that however good it might be relatively speaking, that it will be able to offset the damage that's been done here in birmingham this week. >> back with you later, bianca, when that speech takes place. now the u.s. and eu are closer to imposing new sanctions against iran. its violent response to antigovernment demonstrations. these are students in iran chanting anti-government slogans. for weeks tens of thousands of protesters have held nationwide rallies outraged over the death of a 22-year-old woman who died after being arrested by morality police for allegedly wearing a hijab incorrectly. meanwhile, a key social media platforms have gone dark in iran. the u.s. said it's trying to

help iranians communicate throughout the blackout but those efforts aren't enough. >> reporter: as protesters took to the streets of iran fog the death of masa amini, video clips leaked out showing the desired change. then it went dark. >> starting with instagram and whatsapp, then linked-in. >> reporter: matt fox is one of the global leaders on internet monitoring. they quickly observed alarm ing showcases in iran. users confirmed the shutdown sending cnn screen shots of the sites they couldn't access. the iranian government has a long history of restricting the internet. protests in 2019 prompted most of their shutdown to date, an attempt to hide from the violent crack down on dissent. the iranian people have become

experts at finding work arounds. vast numbers of them use vpns, virtual private networks. now even this may be difficult. this teenager told us via text from inside iran that the government is disabling vpns one by one. however the obstacles iranians face have come from the government but also from the international community. for the last decade u.s. sanctions led many major tech companies to withdraw from iran. >> there's a massive population of iranian technologists, iranian developers who rely on certain services like google cloud platform or google app engine. this has been basically blocked from the u.s. side because of sanctions. it has had a detrimental impact. >> reporter: activists say removing alternatives for

iranian users has actually bolstered the iranian government's efforts to set up an international government. >> infrastructure stays local. ability for the authorities to censor and control what's going on on the internet remains centralized into their hands. >> reporter: following the latest protests the u.s. treasury finally announced updates to their sanctions in order to encourage tech companies to operate in iran. >> it's been almost ten years that iranians have had to wait for the update and license. while better late than never, it has been a delayed action and there has been a lot of harm done. >> reporter: the onus is on tech companies to act. many large tech firms including google and meta plan to open up new services to iran after the u.s. announcement but activists say they're doing a fraction of what is powerful. >> kind of isolated so we need to break that isolation. we need to see more help coming

from other big tech companies like going zbll the crucial services have not been worked on yet so there's a lot to be desired. >> reporter: google told cnn ongoing legal or technical barriers may block the provision of certain services but we are exploring whether additional products might be made available. meanwhile, those inside iran remain frustrated at the inaction. this young iranian told cnn tech companies were restricting them and not the government. cnn, london. cnn has contacted the u.s. and iranian governments for comment but has yet to receive a response. new footage of a possible serial killer in stockton, california. what police are saying about these deadly shootings next. slap the label on ito the e box and it's ready to go our cost for shipping, were cut in half just like ththat go to shipstation/tv and get 2 months freree

doing their homework. >> reporter: now police have linked the stockton homicides to two early morning shootings to april of last year in nearby oakland. in those shootings a man died and a 46-year-old woman survived. >> we're examining this case from every angle. we don't know if there is one individual or if there is a series of individuals that are responsible. >> reporter: police say they're now focusing on key commonalties in all the shootings. >> it wasn't a robbery. items aren't being stolen. they're not talking about any gang activity in the area or anything, it's just element of surprise. >> reporter: tom o'connor is a senior investigator who worked the d.c. sniper investigation and police will look for links in all of the crime scenes. >> transfer evidence is what you bring to a crime scene, and in very, very few cases does a person who is committing a crime not leave something behind. >> reporter: the california town now living with grief and fear.

jerry lopez visited the neighborhood where his brother lorenzo was gunned down. >> my mother and father were just heart broken from this. i wish i could have washed out for him. >> reporter: like so many shootings, police say this came down to ballistics and tying these crime scenes. a firearm will leave unique markings on a bullet as it exits the weapon and police say identifying the weapon that was used is only one aspect here. they need to find the person or persons who are responsible for this shooting. their reward now, up to $115,000. police pleading with the public for tips. they need to stop the public or this group of people before they strike again. josh campbell, cnn, u.s. tributes are pouring in for country music legend loretta lynn who passed away on tuesday. ♪ when i was born a coal miner's daughter ♪ ♪ in a cabin on a hill in
