diagnosing breast cancer early, most women choose to start their regular mammogram screenings around age 40. but, of course, it is important to talk to your doctor about what's best for you and your own personal breast cancer risks. back to you. >> jacqueline howard, thank you. and "new day" continues right now. ♪ welcome to your weekend. good morning, this is your "new day." it's saturday, october 8th. i'm boris sanchez. i'm thrilled that you're with us, i'm also thrilled to share with you that we have a new official co-anchor, amara walker, good morning and congratulations. >> thank you, boris. it's so good to be with you and stuck with each other. moscow says three people were killed in today's massive

explosion of the only bridge connecting russia with the annexed territory of crimea. now, the blast partially collapsed the kerch bridge and paralyzed a key supply route from moscow's faltering war in ukraine. >> but this bridge isn't just logistically important, it's also a huge symbol for the kremlin in its attempt to reunify crimea with the russian mainland. ukraine has not claimed responsibility for this, but after the blast in kyiv, people can be seen taking selfies in front of a billboard depicting the image of the bridge on fire. that's not the only thing you're seeing from ukraine mocking the explosion. fred pleitgen joins us now. fred is in kyiv. he has the latest developments. what are you hearing, fred, about who's behind this explosion. >> reporter: yeah, well, the russians are moving very quickly to point the finger of blame at the ukrainians.

this is quite interesting because i've been following a lot of telegram channels coming out of russia. a lot of top russian politicians are already saying the ukrainians are behind this. the russians have launched an investigation. they've actually put out a video of the investigative committee apparently at work on that bridge. and they say the initial assessment was of a truck that exploded. you can see that massive explosion taking place. apparently, a truck driving there before that explosion took place. a truck blew up and that caused parts of the bridge, the automobile part of the bridge, to could asp and also damage the railway bridge as well. one of the things they're saying, there was a train going past there that apparently as have fuel tanks in it. and at least three of those fuel tankers were destroyed as that explosion took place, obviously leading to that massive fire that we've been seeing all morning. the russians are saying that fire is now out. they are able to get the railway part of that bridge running

fairly quickly again. but, of course, seeing that massive explosion on our screens right now, the automobile part of the bridge, obviously, severely damaged, partially collapsed. going to take a very long time to get that back up and running as well. of course that is a big, not just symbolic blow to the russians. that bridge has huge symbolic value to vladimir putin. he himself inaugurated the bridge driving a truck over it. significantly, in ukraine, it's also very important, there's a lot of heavy military gear that was brought via that bridge, not just the railway section, but automobile section of that bridge as well. so, certainly, another big issue for the russians as the ukrainians are already pushing them back severely in the south of ukraine and also they're spacing massive logistical issues as well. as you guys have alluded to, yes, the ukrainians, essentially setting social media on fire, symbolically, if you will. tweeting about all of this.

mocking the russian president. it came a day after vladimir putin's 70th birthday and that led the national security adviser of ukraine to tweet a video of marilyn monroe singing "happy birthday" obviously, jack kennedy back then and obviously mocking the russian president with that. we'll listen for a second. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> that's certainly going viral right now on the internet. so, as you can see, the ukrainians addressing it but have not laid responsibility on it. but finally, amara walker, welcome to be with us. >> you're the best, fred, thank you so much. yeah, i'm sure it's not the birthday putin was looking for. but it feels like my birthday today. so thank you for that. i appreciate it. >> thanks so much, fred. so republican supporters back in the united states are rallying around the georgia senate candidate herschel walker even after he fired his

political director. keep in mind, this comes after days of bombshell allegations that he paid for a woman's abortion and urged her to have a second abortion two years later. walker strong denies the accusation by the daily beast. the allegations just weeks before the election have put the former football star back in the spotlight. details from politics eva mckend. >> reporter: henchrschel walker l leaning towards the senate. that launched him to fame. >> the winner of 1982 heisman memorial trophy from the university of georgia, herschel walker .

>> there he goes again! >> reporter: he played in an nfl alternative in the early '80s where he would meet team owner donald trump. >> i don't want to take a chance, frankly, in losing herschel walker. >> reporter: as president, trump appointed walker to the presidential council on sports and physical nutrition. >> the great herschel walker. what an amazing guy. >> reporter: and eventually walker own political ambitions urging him to run for u.s. senate in georgia. >> you know, herschel is not only a georgia hero, he's an american legend. >> reporter: like trump, walker has also been known to go offscript and deliver disjointed statements. walker easily won the gop primary earlier this year, despite a myriad of very public controversies throughout his life. he spoke to cnn in 2008 about

his battle with disassociative identity disorder. >> you can get angry, but anger where you can go out and really, really hurt someone, that's where you know you got a problem. >> reporter: in that same interview, walker's ex-wife discussed how walker had threatened her with weapons. >> just guns and knives. i got into a few choking things with him. >> reporter: walker acknowledged those allegations. >> herschel walker told us he was troubled by his actions, he will always deeply regret any pain he caused cindy. >> reporter: according to a 2012 police report an ex-girlfriend said walker threatened to kill her. walker denies those claims. walker's turbulent past has made it into the campaign as a focus of democratic attack ad s. >> new details about accusations. >> reporter: not walker dealing with a different accusation, a claim reported by the daily beast and "the new york times," that the staunch republican

candidate paid for a former girlfriend to have an abortion more than a decade ago. the woman says she's also the mother of one of his children. >> this year, the abortion thing is false. it's a lie. >> reporter: cnn has not independently confirmed the allegations. as walker repeatedly denies in the report, republicans have rallied to defend their nominee with the outcome of the race deciding not just walker's political future, but potentially control of the senate next year. >> let me tell you this, i'm not perturbed, i'm not scared. and i'm not going to bite down, the stakes are way, way too high. we're going to win this race. >> reporter: now for senator warnock's part, he caused the allegations disturbing. but beyond that, he doesn't seem too interested in engaging much further. he went on to say georgia has a choice about who they think is ready to represent them in the senate. and then he shifts back to the policy issue at hand. saying he supports a woman's right to choose. eva mckend, cnn, washington. >> our thanks to eva mckend for

that report. let's talk about the georgia senate race and a few others with cnn political commentator charlie dent and senior political spokesman brian finney. let's start with the georgia senate race, charlie, never a good sign when you need to find a new political director one month out from the election. >> yeah. it's terrible. look, the campaign is in a damage-control mode. i think everybody knew that herschel walker was a flawed candidate coming into this. all of the allegations of domestic abuse. and now the abortion allegations and hypocrisy of it all are certainly very damaging. and, of course, it's easy to fire one of your campaign staff. it's harder to fire the candidate. and that's where they are now. look, many elements of the base will rally around the candidate. but at the end of the day, this is going to be about some swing

voters, you know, who are going to make this determination. they may find this all a few bridges too far. you know, when you look at all of the barnacles that he's picked up. it's not just the abortion question. it's not just the domestic abuse or the incoherent answers and the other problems. so, i think the campaign's in real trouble right now and this is not good news. although he's raising money off this abortion issue. i've received an email. chip in money. you know, saying the allegations aren't true, it's not true about the abortion, but send me money anyway. they're trying to monetize this. i thought i understood politics, once upon a time, we used to vet candidates and try to find out these issues before they got into the race. now, this is a new world. >> barnacles is one way to put it. karen, i wanted to pick up on something that eva noted in her report, senator raphael warnock has not been very aggressive in going after walker on these

allegations. some would like him to, do you think the campaign is handling it the right way? >> absolutely. look, we've also seen this week, herschel walker's son come forward in a series of tweets and videos. and it's heartbreaking. nobody likes to see a family like to hash these subjects out in public. particularly, as a pa pastor, raphael warnock realizes this is not the way. this is not the first time or the barnacle, i'll use that phrase. and the question is going to be warnock has done an excellent job as senator. he has a strong record to run on. and as an incumbent, the question that voters have to ask themselves is, is herschel walker the person you want in

the senate? and i think one of the other issues that this reveals, quite frankly, is this idea that, you know, just celebrity big name person, as a candidate, running against a qualified competent incumbent, that doesn't necessarily mean that just because you have the name i.d., you're able to beat someone who is doing a good job. the other thing i'll say, as charlie mentioned, it's going to come down to turnout at the end of the day. and as we've seen both from 2020 in the general election and in the special election, the voters are absolutely there for raphael warnock, if they just stay the course and focus on turnout. >> let's focus on two other big senate races out west, arizona and nevada. both of them close races. and in new cnn polling, it appears that voters are very motivated and they prioritize the company above anything else.

karen, with the debate with senator mark kelly, blasted him for the state of the economy. how do you think democrats should respond to those kind of attacks when candidly, the economic picture is murky? >> yeah, well, look, they've got to continue to focus on, i think mark kelly's done a good job on this. what are the things that members of congress can control? le lowering costs. the other thing we saw this week, with the inflation reduction act, we saw democrats take on big pharma on prescription costs and bring down the cost of frankly a very expensive drug. so, they've got to continue to stay on that narrative, especially because we also saw republicans this week say they would actually repeal that and go back to a time that increases the cost of prescription drugs in things like insulin. so, again, i think mark kelly's got to stay focused on things that have been accomplished. now there is more work to do.

and he is the person to get it done. the last thing i'd say about arizona, that i just think is important to mention. there is also a case going through court, there with regard to access to abortion. and i just don't think we should underestimate the power and potency of reproductive freedom, particularly in a state like arizona where you have so many independents who don't like to be told what to do. and don't think the government shock telling women how to handle their own health and medical decisions. that is going toize voters. >> charlie, there's another big race in your home state of pennsylvania, john fetterman and mehmet oz, perhaps the senate planning to flip the seat. the former president obviously endorsed mehmet oz but there's a super pac launched by his allies, maga inc., some of that

in pennsylvania feel that the former president himself hasn't spent enough money even on candidates like oz that he's endorsed. right now, oz is lagging in fund raising behind fetterman. do you think the former president should spend more on these candidates? >> well, of course, he is. he should put his money where his mouth is rather than using his money to pay for his legal bills. in that race in pennsylvania, that race is tightening. mehmet oz is actually in a pretty good position to win that race. there have been a lot of questions about john fetterman's health. we feel for him because of the stroke but he hasn't been particularly transparent about what happened. he's identified himself with the bernie sanders wing of the party over the years. and i think that's going to hurt fetterman, going into this general election. it seems that oz is actually making a real play toward the swing voters in a significant and meaningful way.

there are going to be a lot of shapiro/oz voters in pennsylvania just like camp warnock voters in georgia. >> charlie dent, karen finney, the battle decided one from today. thank you for joining us. >> thanks. the u.s. seeing another strong jobs report while that sounds like good news, that would signal trouble for the economy. we will explain. and people in florida are standing in long lines for hours, to get the help they need to rebuild from hurricane ian. we are live at one of those relief centers set to open in the next hour.

but prices have slowly begun to creep up. and the opec plus announcement is expected to speed up that pace. joining me now is tom klosa, he's the ahead of global energy analysis which tracks gas prices for aaa. tom, appreciate you joining us this morning. so how much are gas prices expected to go up and when? >> good morning, i don't think they're going to go up that much more this year. i think what opec did lays the groundwork for another appreciable spike in the spring of 2023. and actually, if you look at some places that were overheated like california, was $6.50 per gallon for gasoline, that's going to actually come down a little bit. the problem isn't going to be gasoline, it's going to be molecules like diesel and heating oil and jet fuel.

those are going to soar because they're coming into season and because the russian boycott may manifest itself in the next months. that's where the inflation is coming from trade, agricultural products and that's going to be pretty insidious. >> i'm sure the people in california if they're up this early, that prices are coming down. i was just there a few days ago and i filled up a tank for nearly $7 a gallon. it's nearly untenable for some people. we've seen gas prices go up slowly again. tom, you say it's because there are a lot of refineries shut down. why are we seeing that? >> well, you know, i'll take california, for example, it's kind of the petri dish for the laboratory for energy transition and weaning one's self off of fossil fuels. they're short of making enough fuel to make a supply balance there. and that's going to rear its head every few months in california, and to a certain

respect in the pacific northwest. i daresay it's the loss to a fire, they wouldn't restart so that's kind of where you're seeing a work in progress or kind of a sneak preview of what may happen in the rest of the country. but this is the biggest month, october, for refinery maintenance. a lot of maintenance was put off in the spring because they were making so much money. so we're going to have about 3 million barrels a day of 17 million barrels a day, about 18%, and it's not coming back until maybe late october, early november. so that makes for tight gasoline supply, even though crude may kind of continue to do the cha-cha on either side of $100 a barrel. >> so then if the refineries come back online by, let's say, november, but by november, if opec plus is cutting production is that a wash? what are we going to see in terms of impact when we're gassing up? >> well, i'll tell you, amara,

the remainder of this quarter, particularly the last two-thirds of this quarter are going to be wild because you're going to have the u.s. or perhaps running out or stopping its sales of crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. you've got a boycott that may man ifest itself in russia. and you've got the vagaries of winter. so buckle up. i don't think it's necessarily gasoline. the next pain comes with the other molecules. >> interesting. are there any tools that the white house can use to rein in gas prices and of course the other molecules, as you say? >> yeah, they're laser focused on it. in california, for example, the regulators did a smart thing. california has to use summer gasoline until november 1, ordinarily but they've waived the rule and you are going to have refineries restarting there in about another ten days.

so actually, good news for you california folks, i can be tony robbins, you're going to see prices drop by 50 cents to a dollar there in the next month or so. >> i guess this is the big picture if you look over the past few years the u.s. has made headway, right, when it comes to being less dependent on oil coming from saudi arabia and other opec nations. u.s. oil production has gone way up in the past decade. how can we become more independent, that's the question? >> well, you probably would become more independent if you had a rock cbetween the biden administration. so were you to strike a grand bargain, you could see more oil shell crude come on. the problem is that oil shale

crude, while plentiful, it's very, very likely very, very sweet but it doesn't have a big yield like some of those products like heating oil and jet fuel, so that's a big problem. we're not entirely sufficient for crude. we don't have a lot of heavy and medium grades of crude so we'll always be importing and exporting it. >> tom, i appreciate your expertise in this. thank you. >> thank you. two weeks after hurricane ian destroyed parts of southwest florida, many residents were left to deal with long lines and frustrations getting the emergency aid they so desperately need. we're live with the latest on recovery efforts after a quick break. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva us is a multitasker

lines stretched out for hours as residents tried to get emergency aid after hurricane ian ravaged the state ten days ago. >> while in daytona beach governor ron desantis acknowledged the long road ahead for so many people in his state. >> so, i would just say to folks who are in difficult circumstances now, because of the storm, just hang in there. there's a lot of resources. there's a lot of help. we understand at the state level that this is something that is going to require a lot of support for a long time. >> we want to take you to florida now. and cnn's nadia romero who joins us live. nadia, what is the latest you're seeing on the ground? >> reporter: yeah, at this disaster recovery center here in fort myers, they've been out here for a couple of days so the organizers tell me they feel like they've really got it under control today. they're hoping that they won't see as many long lines they saw

the first couple of days it was open. five-hour wait times for many people. but behind me is the library. and there are about 100 people lined up before this event is even set to open, another half hour. the first person in line is a man from sanibel island. he said he was stuck there at the storm, for four days. well, he woke up and got here at 4:00 a.m. so five hours before the doors were set to open. because he said, i only have the clothes on my back. i'm staying in a motel, i need help. he tells me he's a vietnam war veteran that he's used to helping other people but now he's the one looking for assistance from fema. you can also get help from state agencies, not only if you didn't have the flood insurance or underinsured, coming to fema, to meet with your insurance agent here that you may be having at your home. or you can also get hopeful you're a small business owner and you lost your business, your livelihood. unemployment insurance is where you can also apply to get help

for that. there are a bunch of different tents here. and a lot of people willing to help. there's just a lot of people in need. like i said, 100 people lined up before doors open which really speaks to the devastation we're seeing here in lee county as people are just trying to get basic help to get back on their feet. boris, amara. >> nadia romero, live from florida, thank you so much. let's discuss southwest 32 with republican byron donald, he represents southwest florida which includes fort myers, naples and marco island. congressman, we appreciate you sharing part of your weekend with us. we just saw nadia there at the relief center with more than 100 people already in line. what can you tell us about how relief efforts are going right now? >> well, a couple things. one, i think that the relief efforts have gone, actually, better than i even thought they would be at this point. we took a storm here that not only brought heavy winds, which is something i think, you know,

a lot of structures and infrastructures in south florida is accustomed to and can withstand. but it was the storm surge which was overwhelming to many places on the barrier island along the colusa river. that's where the heavy damage came from. if you would have asked me if it made land fall a week ago, i would tell you no. but the local responses from fema has been fantastic in the area. it's one of the reasons we were able to reconnect pine long island to the bridge in three d delays. so many people have come back online in a few days. but we've got a long way to go. >> congressman, we heard from the mayor of lee county that the

national guard is starting to withdraw. i heard one of the concerns is looting. would you have wanted the national guard to remain in the area longer? >> well, i think the determination of the national guard being pulled out later today is something that the local law enforcement do have the capability to still protect people in those areas, so that answer is yes. number two, fort myers beach was basically ground zero so to speak. there's not many people to fort myers beach at all. and island access is limited. pine island has it and if that determination has been made, it's in consultation with the emergency team and those on the ground in lee county. >> congressman, i've got a chance ask the sheriff and the commissioner on this. i've not got a chance to get your thoughts. when i was there, several residents told me they didn't believe they had enough advance warning to evacuate. they felt the evacuation order came way too late. i'm wondering what you would say

to those folks when you hear officials say they wouldn't change anything about the way things were handled? >> well, here the thing about this storm and people need to take a look at this closely. this storm moving very rapidly down the coast. as of tuesday afternoon, the tomorrow was still looking at going to tampa bay. that's where the track was. and so this storm, the fema representatives and people at the national hurricane center will tell you it jogged to the right which means came down na farther on the coast. this came out of the cone of certainty, and way faster than i'd seen. when i think it was clear that we were going to take the brunt of the storm, the evacuation orders went out. those are the facts. that's the time line. i know people would love to have more warning, of course, anybody wants to have more warning but if you look at the way the storm moved through southwest florida, it happened at a very rapid

pace, unlike previous storms in the past. but our area was under hurricane watch for several days because we were watching it. unfortunately, the storm made a major turn, very, very late. and that's why the evacuation orders when cleared were in that window, they went out immediately. >> congressman, the issue of immigration has come up in the recovery from hurricane ian. cnn learned that several immigrants in new york, some of them venezuelan asylum seekers they were recruited to work on hurricane recovery in southwest florida. i'm wondering what your reaction to that is, and whether you would turn away their help? >> i mean, first of all, this the first time i'm hearing of this, it's hard to react to something you're just getting on a live news feed. i think, listen, you have the necessary work permits to come down here and work and you have the ability to do that, you should come and work. i can't speak to their status especially if they're on a bus

to new york city that seems they literally came across the border which is a a completely different issue, by the way, but i think if you're coming into the area to work, number one, help is needed. number two, people to work in the united states, they have to be authorized to work in the united states. it just can't be people coming across the border. it's not just right, compared to american citizens. >> congressman, anything else you want to share with our viewers about the state of the recovery, and the message to your viewers in southwest florida, your constituents? >> well, the biggest thing is we're going to rebuild. nobody's going to be left behind. i've been through my congressional district several times, making sure we're assessing things in realtime on the ground. and my residence, by and large, they understand what's happened, they're ready to rebuild. so, we're going to rebuild here in southwest florida and make sure the job is done. >> congressman byron donalds, i know you have a busy few months ahead of you. we appreciate you sharing part
