i'm amara walker. >> good morning, amara. i'm boris sanchez. a fuel tanker explodes on a

massive bridge linking russia to the annexed territory of crimea. why this is a big deal both strategically and symbolically and how ukrainian and russian officials are now reacting. also, a major shakeup in uvalde, texas. the school district suspends its entire police force and puts two officials on leave. how if families are reacting. plus hurricane ian blasted its way through florida, knocking out electricity to millions. one community in the storm's path never lost power. how they made it through relatively unscathed. hopeful news in the fight against breast cancer. "new day" starts right now. ♪ it's great to be with you this morning. it's saturday, october 8th. thank you so much for spending some of your morning with us.

boris, sorry you're not. you're stuck with me now. >> that's right. we're grateful to have you, amara. i'm so pumped that this is your new home. congratulations to amara walker, being named the new co-anchor of weekend "new day." >> thank you. of course, we have a lot to get to this morning. we're following a developing story out of crimea, what appears to be a major escalation on russia's war on ukraine. there was a massive explosion that partially collapsed europe's longest bridge linking russia to the annexed territory of crimea. >> the bridge is not only important but a huge symbol and an attempt to unify crimea with the russian mainland. ukraine has not claimed responsibility. a defense military tweeted out this video of marilyn monroe

sinking "happy birthday mr. president." let's take a look at what all this means to the ongoing conflict and what we know about the explosion. >> reporter: this is deeply symbolic, the marilyn monroe rendition you heard there because yesterday was vladimir putin's 70th birthday. there had always been thoughts ukrainian officials might have been trying t ining ining to al. a truck was driven across and was essentially the symbol of russia's ambitions toward taking ukraine when it illegally annexed crimea in 2014. what do we know that happened overnight? certainly i thinker about agrees that two of the road carriages -- road lanes across that bridge have now partially collapsed, are likely uncrossable, and

there appears to be significant damage to the railroad tracks that also form part of that bring while. is that important, that ukraine managed to hit that without going on their front foot and claiming responsibility for this directly. not only have they managed to hit an important part of russia's infrastructure, but it's a knock on them. this is a ree key supply route. we've seen it ourselves how the inability of the soldiers on the west side to be given fuel, ammunition, is causing them to fall back under the pressure of the ukrainian assault. now this morning we have extra added pressure. there's one railway line. in kherson where they're significantly under pressure with the mainland.

now increasingly under greater pressure, and the question, of course, being what steps are they going to take? it's clear they're not going to be able to hold on and also expect to continue and defend crimea and also hope they hold their land bridge to the mainland across to crimea and stop the assaults. i think few people managed the moment where ukraine would be pressing them simultaneously on so many fronts. it's up to vladimir putin to make the choice of what he prioritizes and also accept the possibility that now this bridge is damaged, russia's presence in crimea is under threat, something that was unthinkable back at the start. back to you. >> it make use wonder what was vladimir putin looking at before he decided to launch this invasion, ukrainians stepping up in a way they did not expect. thank you so much.

the white house in the meantime is defending and clarifying president biden's start warning. >> the kmernlts he made at a private fund-raiser seemed to have caught some off guard. kevin liptak in wilmington, delaware. what do we know? we know some presidents speak off the cuff. they feet more comfortable in these intimate settings such as fund-raisers. >> reporter: i think the comments caught a lot of people caught off guard because it's so hard to hear any world leader let alone an american president talk so starkly about nuclear weapons. to read you a little of what he said, i don't think that's any such thing as the ability to easily use a tactile weapon and not end up with armageddon. that word "armageddon" not something you're used to or want to be hearing from the american

president. he also mentioned the cuban missile crisis. so clearly that is on his mind, the event from the 1960s. in talking to officials, they say the president wasn't necessarily reflecting any change in intelligence about the likelihood of the use of nuclear weapons, but clearly this is a scenario weighing on the president and something officials have been watching with escalating concern over the last several months. it did receive some blowback from the french president emmanuel macron. he said we should be talking with prudence when it comes to nuclear weapons. listen to what the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre talked about yesterday. >> reporter: talking about nuclear weapons is irresponsible. there's no way to use them without unintended consequences. it cannot happen. we won't be intimidated by

putin's rhett rinne. we have not seen any reason to adjust our own nuclear posture, nor do we vacations they are preparing to use them. but putin can de-escalate this at any time, and there's no reason to escalate. >> reporter: now t other very important thing that the president said in his comments to those donors in new york city was that he was trying to figure out an off ramp for president vladimir putin, asking how does he find a way out? and this is a question that the president, his top aides, western leaders have been weighing very heavily for the last several months. it's not clear at this point whether they have an answer. >> it there's no diplomatic off-ramp, and that's very concerning right now. new vems coming four months after the uvalde, texas, massacre at robb elementary school that left 19 students and

two teachers dead. superintendent hal harrell announced his plan to begin the process of retiring with a closed door school meeting set for monday to discuss the transition. >> this comes the same day the district suspended its entire police force and placed the acting district police chief on administrative leave. on thursday the school district fired a newly hired officer after cn reporting revealed she was actually go rmer texas state trooper under investigation for her actions on the day of the school shooting. cnn crime and justice correspondent shimon prokupecz has been leading the way on this story. he has more on the growing investigation of the uvalde police force. >> reporter: the uvalde school district suspending all of its officers, pulling them out of the school in uvalde and placing them in administrative roles. all of this comes after our reporting of a newly hired officer who came from the dps. she resigned from the department

of public safety and was hired by the school district despite the fact she was under investigation for her response while at the dps to the robb elementary school. the school somehow, some way hired her even though they knew, they were told by the dps she was under investigation. also a school administrator by the name of ken mueller was also suspended. he retired because of that suspension. he decided he's just going to retire. and then also lieutenant miguel hernandez. he's the lieutenant, commanding officer of the school police force. he also was placed on administrative leave. and what our understanding is that this lieutenant was the one behind vetting that officer, officer elizondo, the newly hired officer, by the school district. and so really the school district here responding in decisive form, taking all of their officers out, removing

this administrator, and then also suspending this lieutenant. of course, this is all welcome news for the families who have been fighting for justice, who have been fighting for accountability, wanting the school to take this kind of action certainly after our report. also since the shooting, they have not felt safe in that community with those officers, and they wanted accountability for the failures and also the failures they believe occurred by the school district. we're also told on one final note that the superintendent hal harrell, he plans to retire. that announcement is expected sometime possibly on monday. so certainly a big shakeup there in uvalde, something that the families didn't think they would get but finally some accountability for them, offering them some relief. boris, amara? >> shimon, many thanks for your dogged reporting. let's discuss this with cnn's

charles ramsey. first of all, i want to reiterate, my heart goes out to these families and relatives who have been camping out, protesting, and their emotional reaction has be been so moving. they've been through hell. they clearly feel relieved by this move. what is your reaction to the uvalde school district, suspending the entire police force, the shakeup? >> well, i mean a little more than four months have passed since the uvalde massacre took place. this is a decisive action, but it's one that should have been taken a long time ago, in my opinion. that was a massive failure of security that took place that day, not just on the part of the school district police but the uvalde police department, the department of public safety. so this isn't over. even though this is a decisive move, there's still an investigation taking place, and there needs to be more action taken in the future. in the meantime they need to look forward and think about

building a new police force. that's not going to be something that's going to occur overnight. >> why don't you think this happened sooner? the district cited recent developments that were uncovered, gave them additional concerns with the department of operations. do you think the protests, that the protesters, family members camping out in front of the district offices played a huge role in this shakeup? >> i mean it may have played some role in it. but they've been camping out and protesting for some time. i think it was cnn's reporting of the one officer that made the difference and forced their hand to do something, but the bottom line is they've done it. and now they've got to move forward. it should have been done a while ago. obviously they've got serious problems, not just within the police department, but their entire school board and so forth. so they've got a lot of work ahead of them. and hopefully they're able to correct a lot of things.

but it's going to take time before people again begin to trust and feel safe in that community. >> right. back to our cnn reporting, shimon prokupecz as boris was reporting has been leading the way. he uncovered that that uvalde officer was hired, the public officer seen outside the school. as we said, she's under investigation for her response or lack thereof to the shooting spree. she's since been fired. how does that happen snand obvious wil obviously that highlights dysfunction and how the school has been operating. >> it does highlight dysfunction. as they move forward, they need to hire a new chief obviously and hire new personnel, but the community needs to be involved in this. i mean, even involved in the interviewing of the individuals who take on this new role, these responsibilities. they have a right to have a

voice in this. in particular after what took place. in fact, the school -- the department and the school board has already shown they can't really make a higher and properly vet an individual. so the community needs to have a voice, a seat at the table, as they move forward. it's going to take time before any level of trust is really there once again. i mean, these are our children. these are elementary schoolchildren we're talking about here. when you drop your kid off, you should know that you can pick them up at a particular time and they'll be safe while they're in school. that did not happen. and so there's a lot of work that's going to have to be done. they may -- it may take a generation, quite frankly, before the trust is really fully there. >> yeah. i believe that. it could take a generation. i mean, a long ways to go go re-establish any kind of semblance of trust. chief charles ramsey, i appreciate you. thanks. >> thank you, and congratulations. >> thank you very much.

welcome back to "new day." cnn has learned donald trump has to return any outstanding documents that may still be marked classified, making clear

not all documents have been returned. joining me now to discuss is former federal prosecutor rena d. how do they know donald trump might still have those documents and how do they go about proving that in court? >> that's the million-dollar question. i'm sure they would like to know the answer to that question as well. clearly the justice department has some source of information within the trump camp, whether it's one of his vuzers, someone who works for him, an employee perhaps, or secret service agents. we know they have inside snf thags led them to obtain the mar-a-lago search warrant. now it appears that that source

of information or sources of information are telling them that trump already -- or is still holding classified information, obviously a very major problem for the former president. >> the blowback from the mar-a-lago search aside, what steps can doj now take to recover any documents that are still unaccounted for in. >> well, the doj has a massive hammer, a lot of leverage there. they could indict the former president. i think it's fairly apparent there's sufficient evidence to do so based on what we know publicly, so if, you know, i recommended the former president, you know, i'd often represent people who had their premises searched, but in his case in particular, given the materials that are involved, i would negotiate with the government now and try to obtain something called active production immunity, which would immunize the production of the

documents. in other words, if you have something that the possession of which is itself illegal and you give it to the government, it establishes that you have it, right? so if you produce heroin to the government, well, then, you're proving you produced heroin. it's similarly here. you would want the government to not go after you merely for giving them the documents, but i would negotiate that and frankly try to figure out a way of resolving this more globally for the former president so that we could -- you could have a deal where he wasn't charged. but i have to say the combative antagonistic approach he and his team have adopted is doing him a disservice. >> this case is entangled in so many legal technicalities making its way through an appeals court and supreme court as well. the appeals court is going to work on the parallel track with the filing donald trump made at the supreme court. how does that work exactly?

>> well, so there's a pending appeal in the court of appeals. that's ongoing. they fast-tracked that appeal. they're going to consider the wide range of issues that have been appealed by the justice department. and at the very same time, there's a very narrow question that was brought to the supreme court by the former president. i anticipate the supreme court's not going to even hear the case, but if that happened, the supreme court would resolve that one narrow issue, and then the court of appeals would be dealing with the broader set of issues. >> renato, i want to get your thoughts on the case in fulton county, georgia, because the d.a. there, fawny willis, says her investigation is going to go quiet until at least after the midterm elections to avoid any appearance of trying to interfere or influence the election. i wonder if you think that is the right move, and out of the dozens of people that have been told they might be targets, who

do you think might actually be indicted? >> so i do think that's the right move because unless there's reason to believe someone's going to flee or there's a statute of limitations issue, i don't see any reason why a prosecutor should indict shortly before an election, which is going to add to concerns and speculation that this was somehow politically motivated. i think that was the right move. i really believe the da is going to indict the former president and a number of his top aides. i think she's going tony diet, for example, rudy giuliani. so i have to say that all signs have pointed to her taking a very aggressive approach here. that doesn't mean he'll be convicted. i think she's got a difficult case and a lot of work to be done on her end, but nonetheless, i think it definitely has to be a concern for the former president, because at the same time as we spoke about a moment ago, he's dealing with an even bigger

threat from the united states department of justice. >> right. we're anticipating a flurry of activity in that case once mid- to late november and december comes around. renato mariotti, we hope you join us again to walk through it all. >> thank you. will do. this programming note, don't forget to watch an all manufacture new episode of the cnn series "the more dox: empire of influence." that's at 10:00 p.m. tomorrow. here's a preview. because the affiliate was involved, he needs to go to lockland to get a sign-off even though ales doesn't have to report to him and has no respect for him. lockland says no and ales can't believe he's been told by little lockland, murdoch. ales goes to rupert behind lockland's back. >> rupert tells ailes, don't

opec's decision to slash oil production is prompting calls for the u.s. to crack down on the world's largest oil suppliers. now opec plus's production cut is expected to push gas prices up in the u.s. after following steadily over the summer highs in june, and now the white house says it's weighing all options as several lawmakers renew proposals to hold saudi arabia and the other opec nations accountable for price fixing, and this does seem to have at least some bipartisan support. joining me now is jonathan panikov. he's a director at the atlantic council. he's also a former national deputy intelligence officer with the national intelligence council. good morning. thanks so much for joining us. do you see this as a big slap in

the face to president biden who visited saudi arabia hoping to get the kingdom to pump more barrels of oil? >> thanks so much for having me this morning. i think the timing of the policy certainly is a bit of a slap in the face. i think this policy could have been done, say, five weeks from now after the u.s. midterms and it could have had the same impact the saudis were looking for. the policy itself, they'ren credibly concerned about the move-away from fossil fuels and not having sichblt revenue to turn their economy around. shortly they're concerned about the global recession. but the timing and retention policy is directed at the president. >> right. because the oil cuts are supposed to happen in early november at after the midterms. is this a political dig and what do you say to the ministers who told reporters at opec plus and vi

vienna, the meeting, the decision is next nick cal, not political. do you agree with that? >> i don't, in terms of the timing. i think the policy itself is sec nick cal. the policy makes sense for the saudis especially long term, but the timing -- the saudis are not naive to the u.s. political environmental. they've been following it for a very, very long time, and if this had waited five weeks, i don't think they would have asked this question in the same way. the timing is certainly directed at the u.s. >> what about the message being sent to the u.s.? you say the saudis are not naive when it comes to the geopolitical impact of their decisions and we know russia is part of opec plus? is this saudi arabia siding with russia or aligning with russia? >> i think it certainly has to be read that way. the saudis will tell you their biggest goal so to ensure unity within opec and opec plus, the latter chof the u.s. is part of. the reality is the u.s. worked behind the scenes to try to

prevent this cut. russia right now is using the money from the oil revenues to, frankly, fund the war in ukraine. this is going to ultimately help the russians. at the same time the u.s. was trying to put a price cap on russian oil sales. you have to look at it with moscow looking at preference over the u.s. policy preferences. >> what does this mean for you and me and people watching at home? gas price spike and exactly when? >> i don't think we know the exact timing. some of it's going to be the actual size of the cut. it was announced to be 2 million barrels a day. it's actually going to be a little bit lower than that. that was based on producers being at full quotas, which they're not. it will be about 1.2 million barrels per day. that is significant. i think you certainly should expect gas prices to rise through october into the elections and beyond and certainly through the winter as

you're going to see an energy shortage in europe. >> there seems to be a bipartisan theory. president biden would allow the doj to essentially sue saudi arabia and other nations for antitrust violations, but there's a lot of risk to this as well in the way that it could backfire. >> yeah. it would certainly further understood mine the relationship between u.s. and riyadh. washington is going to have to determine what kind of long-term relationship it wants. the saudis are clearly sending a message here that they're not interested in the traditional strategic relationship that has always been the case with critical allies, that they're much more interested in what they call a transactional relationship, not in the way russia and china tend to engage in their foreign policy. so the reality is if washington

is ready to make a change to its policies and act in a more transactional manner, they're going to hit back and will need to hit back and that's obviously one of the options on the table. >> not a lot of good news coming out of that decision. jonathan panikoff, thank you very much. >> thank you. from brutal wind to devastating storm surge, entire communities were ripped apart by hurricane ian, but one town hit by the storm sustained minimal damage, and now some more communities should emulate them. we'll explain next. kitchen? sorted. hot tub, why not? and of course, puppy-friendly. we don't like to sayay perfect, but it''s pretty perfect. booking.com, booking.yeah. taking the shawl off. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla ia pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin.
