headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching here, in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber about pep ahead, south korea is mourning, more than 150 people in seoul killed in a crowd surge celebrating halloween. we're live with details. and nine days to the u.s. midterms and 19 million people have already voted. we'll take you to one battleground state just ahead. the white house accuses russia of weaponizing food, the grain deal to feed much of africa and the middle east now in jeopardy. we're live with the fallout. >> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. we begin with shock and grief in south korea where at least 150 people have died in a
1:02 am
crowd surge. officials say thousands of partygoers gathered for a halloween celebration, but many crashed when the large crowd moved through a narrow alley. one witness says authority shoes have been better prepared. listen to this. >> translator: seeing this incident, i think the police were not prepared enough. there were way too many people and it was too crowded. i know the police and rescue workers are working hard, but i would say there is a lack of preparation. >> paula hancocks is live at the scene. and as people are now trying to grapple with the scope of this enormous tragedy, describe what is happening there as some families are still looking for loved ones and answers. >> reporter: that's right, yes, we know that there are still some family members who are looking for their loved ones who are going to community centers, to hospitals, to try to find out
1:03 am
where the people that they haven't been in contact with since last night have gone. we know that there are a number of reports of missing people, there is some confusion of course as there always is in the case of the aftermath of an incident like this, people desperately trying to get hold of those loved ones that they may not have spoken to. now, this is one of the alleys where part of the crush took place just about 50 meters behind me where the policemen are. you can see that there was a small alley just to the right, that is where the most number of lives were lost. there were bars, restaurants, night clubs all along the area and it was absolutely packed. and we know dangerously so now. we spoke to a number of eyewitnesses, one who was on this very road last night saying that she felt she was lucky because she was pushed into the
1:04 am
stairwe stairwell of one of the bars behind me and felt that saved her life. i spoke to two sisters who decided not to come into this area because they said it was simply too busy and dangerous. this is what they said -- >> when you start seeing bodies everywhere, people were drunk, others trying to revive them, because the situation was really bad. but people are really crowded from there to here. there were people already stuck inside. some people were looking at the others and just faint. so much blood everywhere. some people just start trying to wipe the blood and give them mouth to mouth so that they can come back to life, but they couldn't. >> reporter: there is a sense of shock and disbelief that something of this magnitude could happen here in this entertainment district in seoul. but this is what has happened.
1:05 am
many have come back this morning, we saw them looking dazed, saying they were tr traumatized by what had happened and that they were the lucky ones. still some deceased yet to be identified. we understand 90 respe% of thos been identified. and some were young. many in their early 20s, but some under the age of 17, which means they wouldn't have been si registered for an i.d. card and not in the korean system. so there is difficulty in identifying all of the victims. of course some also were foreigners. >> hard questions are now being asked both about how this was allowed to happen in terms of the crowd control and also in the immediate aftermath with the rescue efforts. >> reporter: what i heard from one of the eyewitnesses is the
1:06 am
surprise that there was no crowd control. they decided not to come into this particular back alley because it was jammed. but they said there was nobody limiting the number of people. this is the third halloween in three years since the pandemic that there were no reconstructions, no masks, no limits on the amount of people that could come in here. and we see that it has had deadly effect. we also heard from minister of interior and safety who said that he didn't believe deploying more officials or police would have made much difference. that is difficult to say before an investigation is carried out and we know that investigation is being carried out now. but that is the official line at this point. there have been many officials coming through this area looking for evidence, for blues of what exactly happened, how it could have happened. some image as that we have seen, eyewitnesses speaking to us have
1:07 am
said that at one point they saw people trying to climb the walls of some of the buildings to try to get out of the crowd and get out of the crush. we've also heard from eyewitnesses that they didn't believe there were enough first responders to be able to cope with the shear magnitude of this disaster, the number of people that needed attention, there simply weren't enough first responders here do that in the first hour or so. one of the eyewitnesses said that she saw people doing cpr on their friends because there were no first responders available. obviously a very devastating incident happening here in the hearts of everyone. and this will be in national mourning and closed off until at least november 5 we understand. of course now the questions are
1:08 am
how did it happen and what can change so it never happens again. >> absolutely devastating. paula hancocks, thanks so much. earlier i spoke about the crush with keith still and he explained how a crowd collapse can create a dominao effect. here he is. >> so as people fall against each other, these forces become very, very strong, extreme high pressure and many people get caught up. and people are struggling and arms and legs get twisted together. it takes 30 seconds to cut the blood supply from the brain, and you can get compression asphyxia and you can't breathe.
1:09 am
>> mhorrendous that it happened to so many people. and it doesn't take that much force to break ribs and even kick a kill as you've described. >> absolutely. there were studies done for crowd safety and it looked at various experiments on humans and data published, which you can't replicate now because of course it is significant risk to anybody exposed to high pressure and high density. but it takes five people pushing against one to collapse a rib or smash a head. and if you have that multiplied by tens of thousands of people, it just doesn't bear belief. it is utterly horrendous. >> the fact that this was the first big post-covid event in seoul, i mean what role might that have played here?
1:10 am
>> we have seen after the covid lockdowns when people are coming back into public spaces, there is a degree of forgotten behavior, there is an exuberance. so three different crowds. those that just avoid places and public assembly, so exclude those. contentious, people that are still argumentative about the various rules. and then the celebrating. those individuals who are o overexuberant, they are saying we're free and they have for gotten the various risks involved and behaviors in those environments. and there has been a shortage in crowd managers because they have all left for other jobs because there were no crowds, there was nothing to do, so they moved on. and there are various reports about how they suffer from a lack of trained experienced
1:11 am
individuals now to deal with and understand these risks before they manifest. just over a week away from the u.s. midterm elections. both parties are sending out their biggest names in key battleground states in the final stretch. former president barack obama was just in georgia rallying democrats. and president biden will also be stu stumping. and donald trump will be campaigning for republican candidates in iowa, pennsylvania, florida and ohio. but a large number of voters have already made up their minds. more than 19 million early ballots have been cast nationwide according to data from elections officials and edison research and catalyst. texas and florida have both received about 2.5 million votes. georgia is seeing record-breaking turnout. and races here could determine
1:12 am
control of congress. we're now hearing from nancy pelosi for the first time since her husband paul was viciously attacked in a home invasion on friday. in a litte erletter she wrote o children, grandchildren and i are heartbroken and traumatized by the attack on our pop. we are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and emergency services and for the life-saving medical care he is receiving. paul pelosi remains hospitalized with a skull fracture and other injuries but is expected to fully recover. the 42-year-old suspect will be formally charged tomorrow with arraignment set for tuesday. russia is shutting the door to much of ukraine's grain exports. next we'll see how countries in africa could be affected now that major source of grain is going away. plus polls open in a few hours in brazil's runoff election and results could shape the global economy and fight

1:16 am
the face of millions of germs zapped in seconds. the face of clean. the face of whoa. some are of intensity, others, joy. all are of - ahhhh. listerine. feel the whoa! ukraine accusing russia of
1:17 am
playing hunger games with millions of people desperate for food. this is after pulling out of a xw grain deal signed in july. russia says it is leaving the deal because of alleged ukraine drone attacks. and the white house slammed moscow for what it called weaponizing food. volodymyr zelenskyy says that moscow has been planning to get out of the deal for weeks. here he is. >> translator: russia began deliberately aggravating the food crisis back in september when it blocked the movement of ships with our food from september to today and 176 vessels have already accumulated in the grain corridor which cannot follow their route. some grain carriers have been waiting for more than three weeks. this is an absolutely deliberate
1:18 am
blockade by russia. >> and difavid mckenzie is in johannesburg, but first nic robertson in kyiv. bring us up to speed about why russia made this decision and the reaction. >> reporter: russia is accusing ukraine of attacks its ships in crimea. they are saying that this is a significant ability that caused them to pull out of the black sea grain initiative. the dipietro deal itself was two parallel deals that the u.n. spent a long time to strike, one with ukraine, one with russia. and russia was given incentives to join the deal. they had some sanctions relief. ukraine wanted to export the grain because it needs the money. and there was a huge amount of international pressure at a time on russia because it was seen as the perpetrator of the war, the
1:19 am
one affecting all those black sea ports not allowing ukrainian ships and other ships to get the grain out to the global market pnd and therefore that was the impetus of that deal. but as we've heard from president zelenskyy, the deal has not been going very well. there was anticipated 20 million tons of grain expected to be exported under that deal and it has only been about 9.1 million tons so if a. russia complains that much has gone for the first world and not the third world. but i think what we're seeing as well is pressure on ukraine, pressure on its allies and global partners to pressure ukraine to agree to president putin's terms of peace which is a complete annexation of those four regions of ukraine, which categorically ukraine says won't happen. so there is a bigger political picture behind this, but there is a knock-onn ismknock-on impa
1:20 am
ground here. yesterday five ships were able to exit with grain and four ships with are in the humanitarian navigation part of the plaque sea to come and pick up grain. today they say there are ten ships waiting do that but they can't move. there were 175 ships waiting under contract to move grain. and so there is still a huge backlog of grain and of course what happens with the deal now affects what farmers do for next year. you already see around this country many fields where they just haven't taken the seeds or the grain from the fields and many farmers in light of what they are witnessing today may not plan for next year. so the food shortage problem and higher prices globally potentially for next year could be worsened again because of what is happening right now. >> a great point. thic
1:21 am
nic robertson, thanks so much. in all more than 9 million tons have flowed out of ukrainian ports since the agreement began, more than 70% of it has been corn or wheat with the rest being sunflower oil or other products like soybeans. much of it has gone to the european union or china, but a lot has gone either directly or indirectly to countries where people need the assistance simply to survive. many of the countries heavily dependent on grain are from africa. and for more, we're joined by david mc . >> reporter: short term impact will be on price and long term is price and supply. and while that sounds kind of dry, it certainly is potentially devastating. because as we've seen while that in addition blockade was in
1:22 am
place, covers in north africa and the horn of africa were feeling a a major sxwqueeze. wheat is often subsidized by governments. and their inability to afford that food for the population and keep it subsidized is a major humanitarian and political threat. we were in tunisia earlier this year and they ahead to get an emergency loan from the world bank just to afford to buy beat. and that is the short term impact. as nic was alluding to, the long term impact could be devastating both from the point of view of producers in ukraine who might feel that there is not -- it is not worth them growing the wheat and other products because they might not find a market for it, and at the demand side, you know, even farmers we've been speaking to over the months say,
1:23 am
well -- i mean producers if they current guarantee that they will have the supply, they will have to drop what they are doing. and it is for food, food for animal, for people who want to sell their livestock. this is a major knock-on effect. and ukraine is a very large producer of grains and oil and other products. so the leverage that putin may be trying to gain from this has a very real world impact especially in those countries that can least afford it. >> absolutely right. david mckenzie, thanks so much. and not just food at stake, there are also political implications. earlier i spoke with executive director for institute of research and development and also an expert on sustainable food items. here he is.
1:24 am
>> millions of people will be starving because big parts of the population will be in difficulties access to food. and so even if some of them will be ready to change, well, how can -- if hungry population get access to some of the solutions that we have been proposing to years and years. and so it is really -- >> let immediate ask you about the politics here because it seems -- i mean, despicable that russia is apparently using these vital shipments as a bargaining chip with millions of lives on the line. russia has tried to blame the west for these problems. many african nations have taken the position of neutrality in this war. do you think that will now change? >> i think that only there have been changes in the position. because actually even the west
1:25 am
africa commission, chair of the west african commission that is the chair of the commission have been traveling to russia, trying to find a solution. and yet this has been organized after by the african community and so i think some of the reaction that we can see from different countries, that people are trying just to not only this for sluice, but a long term solution. still ahead, much more on the deadly crowd crush on south korea. we'll hear from a witness about what he went through and how he got out. all? with a little help. and to support my family's immune health, i choose airborne. unlike some e others, airborne givives you vitamin c and so much more.

1:29 am
welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." south korea is grieving after a chaotic crowd surge claimed the lives of at least 151 people. these are image as from seoul where the tragedy unfolded during a halloween celebration. officials say victims were crushed when thousands packed a narrow alley. south korea's president declared a national mourning period. many people are still considered micing, their friends and family desperately searching for them hoping that they made it out safe and sound. the crowd surge happened at a
1:30 am
popular night life district in the south korean capital. and will ripley spoke with one of the witnesses there who described what he went through you and how he made it out. >> you can tell me what happened and what woor seeie're seeing i pictures you took? >> i was out here with my friends and a soldier. and this was halloween, so i was going out with my soldiers and having fun with them. and people started to get jammed up, starting from 6:00 p.m. and i actually went to one bars and i saw already people jammed. and i saw the peoples like going to left side, and i actually saw the person actually get into the opposite side. and so the person in the middle, they got jammed. and they have like, you know, no way to communicate.
1:31 am
and they cannot breathe. they cannot breath. and so i actually get through that too with my friends. and i was thinking something like oh, yeah, this is going to be happen something. and after i actually get through it, i mean i was lucky to get through that, but like after i get through that, like a an hour later, i heard like people got killed because of them. because like people get stamped on them and people got jammed together. >> can you describe the state, how everybody was packed? >> it was literally less than one feet. literally less than like -- you can imagine like a jammed subway. peoples are like crowded together. we have no will to move. like we just got pushed. >> and you are on this narrow street and it is so crowded that
1:32 am
you can't even move and you can't even breathe. >> that's correct. >> were you scared? >> i was scared. i was pretending to be not to be scared because if i try to be scared because people beside me will be scared too. so i was trying to be like is this going to be decent, like i can get through it, but like deep in my heart, i was like oh, yeah, this is going to be happening. because at the time that i was there, it wasn't jammed. but i didn't realize that people i'm going to be died. but like, you know, after -- like an hour later, i saw like people were going crazy and i was like oh, yeah, this is going to be serious. >> expressions of cisympathy ar pouring in. joe biden said he and the first lady grieve and send best wishes for quick recovery to all who were injured.
1:33 am
and justin trudeau tweeted his condolences saying he is wishing a fast and full recovery no those injured. and from rishi sunak, all our thoughts are with those currently responding and all south koreans of this very distressing time. u.s. midterm elections are just a week away and the 30 million plus latino voters are in focus for both democrats and republicans. in one south florida house race, socialism and disinformation are now main talking points. boris sanchez spoke to some people to find out why. >> why are hispanics coming to the gop? because we're not stupid. because we know -- >> reporter: running in florida's 27th district, the center piece of congress
1:34 am
salazar's campaign resonates. >> you know, socialism is a really bad dirty word for people that speak and sound like me. why? because we have lifted. and you know it is beautiful in theory, it is miserable in practice. >> reporter: the daughter of cuban refugees says her party has made recent gains with latino voters because the gop is defending them from what they call radical policies put forward by democrats. >> unfortunately, the democratic party leadership has been infiltrated and it has been hijacked by radical forces that are neo marxists. no one has to misform them. they recognize it. >> when your opponent calls you and your party socialists and communists, you say what ? >> really? because i'm the one who came to
1:35 am
this country because my father was kidnapped by a marxist terrorist group. >> and her rival argues high school hypocritical to link her party with radical autho authoritarians when they support donald trump. >> how can you fight for democracy if you are venezuelan if you are not going to fight for it here into united states? >> reporter: and she says misinformation is because people are voting republican. >> we need to fight back because they are the ones taking our freedoms away. >> there is a losing their second home because they already had to lose their first home. >> reporter: and a liberal group says it is a manipulative message preying on immigrants fleeing for regimes. >> and this is why it is so
1:36 am
frustrating that the republican party using the term socialism and communist, you know, as equivalent to democrat as a way -- as a fear tactic to tap into the tragedy of our community. >> reporter: a tactic she calls cruel because it has torn her family apart. >> we don't even agree on reality. >> reporter: she says one of her family members now believes conspiracies spread on social and spanish language media. >> the idea that this is driving this big movement of hispanic voters away from the democrats, i think that it is absurd. >> reporter: a left-leaning analyst who has study the latino vote for decades argues that by blaming misinformation, democrats are avoiding more serious questions about their approach to latinos. >> it is actually like unproductive for the democrats to think about this way because it prevents them of thinking about what aspects of the republican message are really working and why and why are --
1:37 am
why is our party not as attractive to the voters. what are we doing wrong. >> reporter: boris sanchez, cnn, washington. polls open in just a few hours in brazil's hotly contested presidential race. today's runoff pits bolsonaro against his center left rival. and they are trying to win over millions living in poverty. paula newton has the story. >> reporter: and this village is fertile ground for votes. but not food. the irony not lost on anyone here. food is the issue this mother of father will be voting on. her partner works 16 hours a day and still she tells us there is not much in her refrigerator.
1:38 am
>> translator: i don't want my kids to go hungry, she says. she fears that they may if president bolsonaro is reelected. even though he raised welfare payments ahead of the election. in my view she says bolsonaro didn't fulfill his promises and only giving us the subsidy to see if he can get more votes. people here he know better than to expect too much from either but they expect something. she says i intend to street for lula because in four years bolsonaro has not done much. and so from the suburbs and streets of the commercial capital, inflation is biting here. access to food has become a central election issue and a convenient campaign promise as tens of millions continue to
1:39 am
live in poverty. at balaolsonaro rallies, suppors say lula is a thief who belongs in jail, hardly a savior of the poor. and others see it differently. every single one that is in there steals something, she says. even just a little. they are talking about lula and saying that he sold, maybe he did, but at least he takes care of us, takes care of the poor. bolsonaro has spentsidies tryine can save brazilians from hunger. and this man has been feeding hungry for decades and he says hundreds more have been lining up at his soup kitchen in recent months and he is troubled that
1:40 am
the desperate slight of so many is being exploited for votes. >> translator: bolsonaro was even capable of lying on national radio saying there is no hunger on brazil, they don't see anyone asking for bread, he doesn't know reality. there are millions asking for a plate of food because they can't feed themselves. >> reporter: to win both presidential candidates need to count on votes from those who can't count on their next meal. a stark snapshot of what is at stake for brazil's hungry. paula newton, cnn, sao paulo. and we'll have the latest on the deadly car bombings in the world's most troubled nations. and that and more when we continue. goodness, twice the flavor, and twice the choice. sirloin salisbury steak and all-natural salmon. perfect for lunch or dinner. only at ihop. download t the app and earn free

cold play is voicing its support for the iranian protestors, the group performed alongside an iranian singer and activist in a concert friday night. they sang a viral song, the ballad which translates to four, has been watched by millions across the globe. it is based on tweets that express anger and frustration with the government. and in iran the blood shed continues. videos posted to social media show protestors encountering gunfire and tear gas. and four were killed thursday. the curb akurdish rights group that dozens opened fire on
1:45 am
demonstrators. and head of the revolutionary guard is warning that saturday is the last day of protests and that do not come to the streets again. and nada bashir is joining me now. so explain what that means, what are they -- what are the consequences of this and is there any sense of whether the protestors will actually listen? >> reporter: this is perhaps some of the most direct warning we have seen from the head of the revolutionary guard against protestors, telling them that they should not come to the streets. today saturday would be the last day of protests. and of course we've already seen a crackdown by security forces in iran for the last seven weeks now using violent methods in an attempt to quell those demonstrations. tear gas, pellets, and of course hive fire being used against protestors. now the concern is after the stark warning, that this
1:46 am
crackdown could perhaps intensify today and indeed in the coming days if we do see protests continue. and we've already heard from one human rights group based in norway focused on the northwestern kurdish region and they say that the protests have already begun in particular in cities where students have thousand reportedly taken to the streets. cnn hasn't been able to verify that footage just yet. but there is concern that this could potentially be a turning point if we continue to see intensification of that violence. as you mentioned, what we've seen is an uptick in the violence, reports of more weapons being used, snipers being used against protestors. and of course we have seen that death toll rise. and according to the united nations, at least 250 protestors have already been killed since demonstrations first began in
1:47 am
september. the regime however has maintained that these are not sanity regime protests, these are not demonstrations calling for human rights, that these are attempts by foreign actors mainly the united states and israel accused by the regime of trying to stoke instability and chaos in iran. and revolutionary guard issued a statement friday saying that the cia and state department have been working with kurdish separatist leaders in an attempt to stoke unrest in iran. of course the cia hasn't responded to that. and we've previously heard from secretary of state antony blinken saying that any attempt by the regime to pin these protests on foreign actors to suggest that this is unrest being stoked by foreign countries is a clear sign that the regime is not listening to the will of its people who have been protesting now for weeks demanding not only regime change many of them, but also crucially
1:48 am
fundamental human rights and freedoms to be upheld. >> appreciate it, thanks nada bashir. and at least 100 people are reported dead after two car bombs rocked the somali capital of mogadishu. the blasts come as the government is pledging to crack down on al shabaab. so far no claims of responsibility and as you can see, plumes from the blast could be seen for miles. well, this was the view from ground level. al shabaab is increasing its attacks on civilian targets after the new president declared an all-out offensive on the group. coming up, tornadoes touchdown in mississippi and alabama saturday and the threat is not over yet. we're live from the cnn weather center next. stay with us. - hey honey. - hey dad. that smell could be eight million odor causing bacteria.

this is 4is highway 63. there is a big old tornado right there. >> and that video was shot along
1:53 am
a road near moss point, mississippi. a number of tornados were reported in the area. officials in baldwin county, alabama say at least four tornadoes were spotted there. so far no reports of injuries. let's bring in derek van dam. so it is late october, but tornadoes i guess they can happen anytime of the year, is that right? >> yeah, most people think about the springtime season being that traditional tornado season for the continental united states and that is true. we get highest average number of tornados during the months of march, april, may and june as well. but there is also a send dear severe weather season. and autumn severe weather season that occurs basically toward the end of october lasting through the middle of department. a december. and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast.par. december. and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast.rtm. december. and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast.nt. december. and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast.dec. and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast.dec.

and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast.ece. and most of the severe weather occurs along the gulf coast. just like yesterday. nine confirmed tornadoes. many in the state of mississippi near the gulf coast. two reports of wind damage as well. and these tornadoes that formed, and here is a close-up of the low hanging cloud in moss point, mississippi, a lot of these get that interaction with the coastline. let me explain. this is the latest radar by the way the severe weather threat diminishing with time as the system moves eastward, that is the good news, but let's zoom in closer and go back 12 hours when the tornados actually developed. you can see them firing up right there near the border of mississippi and alabama. we're getting the thunderstorm development over the ocean, then it moves on to land and we're getting spins in the atmosphere allowing for the tornado to form quickly. and these storms that do form are typically short lived, typically pretty weak, but enough do weak structural damage. that is what we've had from the tornado in mississippi, we actually saw roof damage to an
1:55 am
