1:01 am
mississippi officials reported least eight deaths and sharkey county, which includes the town of rolling fork, where homes and businesses were flattened, and trees and power lines were knocked down. humphreys county. at least three people were killed and at least two people are in critical condition. search and rescue teams and first responders are on the scene in the area northwest of jackson, and we spoke with the president of one of the towns that was hard hit, who was on the phone with her grandmother when the tornado went through? listen to this. you could hear the tornado in the you could hear the roar in the background and she started screaming. for help. and she said that, um she wants it stopped roaring her, she said. it's raining through my roof. it's raining through my roof, so we rushed down to evacuate her immediately. officials in morgen county, alabama, say first responders freed up to seven people who were trapped in a group home and
1:02 am
as the storm system moves east tornado and severe thunderstorm watches are now spread across parts of alabama, tennessee, georgia and into north carolina. right now, more than 100,000 homes and businesses and in the south are without power. we're joined on the line now by storm chaser erin rigby in vicksburg, mississippi, just south of rolling fork. thanks for being here with us. i understand you arrived at the town literally, literally right after the tornado touched down. it must have been absolutely terrifying. tell me about what you saw. absolutely this tornado was one of those tornadoes that went 0 to 100. very very quickly. it started out just outside of town and probably about a mile southwest of the town before it was impacted as justice cylinder cone tornado, and it quickly grew with every lightning flash into a huge at least quarter mile wide wedge tornado and i actually didn't realize how close we were to the town and the path of the tornado was taking until it was too late when across the road in front of us. that's when i could see all
1:03 am
the debris being lost it up into the air by all of the power flashes and the lightning. and i arrived on scene literally as the tornado had just exit town. and there was there was just a constant scream for help while it was pouring down the rain, thunder and lightning still around, and we just went to the nearest homes that you know that we could find, and we were pulling people out of homes. there was debris that had rained down from where their houses had collapsed on them. one of the ladies that we helped she was an elderly lady. it looked like she was only able to get to her living room with her walker, and she was actually blown down in her living room with the wall partially collapsed on her. we were able to remove move her and get a stretcher there and get her out of the home and the second one that came across. she was in the center most room of her house and the entire house collapsed on top of her, and a good samaritan near us was able to loan us a chainsaw and we were able to cut part of the roof that had fallen on her away from her and free her from the home. and that was the scene
1:04 am
across the entire town about about the hour and a half that we were there, helping as many people as we could. unbelievable i mean, it's just worth pointing out. i mean, you're not a first responder. you're a storm chaser. why did you decide to jump in and try and help? it's just the right thing to do. this is something that comes with the territory as a storm chaser. and when we get into these situations, the first thing that needs to be done is you know, the chase is over, drop everything that we do, because these people are going to need help. and the that the emergency responses are just too overwhelmed. and it was a we know that they need help and were there before they even arrived. sometimes as you know, when tornadoes hits, they will affect one house and skip a bunch of others hit another house. but the visuals were seeing right now. i mean, it's of a town just obliterated. how widespread is the damage there? unfortunately this tornado cut right through the center of that town. i didn't see a house. in the entire town that was not at least damage to some degree and even on like the west central part of town, there were homes
1:05 am
completely level in several cases of homes being completely slab from their foundation, and i guarantee that the destruction is probably going to go on. i think i've heard unconfirmed reports that i was on the ground for over 70 miles. and it also, unfortunately, impact the town's upstream of that, including smithville as well. gosh 70 miles. that's unbelievable. uh you know, are people still trapped in the debris? do you think i understand the first responders are still responding on the scene there to talk us through what's happening there right now. that is correct. there they're doing their walk throughs. we saw multiple instances of a large amount of first responders walking street to street with flashlights, looking for survivors looking for those that are serious injuries seriously injured, um, knocking on door to door seeing who's responding who's not responding? i do believe that there are people still trapped in some of those homes, but i believe that they're making a lot of progress to get those people out the problem. this
1:06 am
town was in such a rural area that it took. quite a substantial amount of time for first responders to get up there . i mean, we were there for probably 30 or 45 minutes before ambulances and police cars started to trickle in there, other than that you cop cars that were there initially as the tornado came through, so it took a pretty substantial amount of time to get help up. i think we might have lost storm chaser erin rigsby, who is starting to us on the phone there, but we appreciate hearing from him. i want to get more now from cnn meteorologist karen mcginnis and karen i mean, just hearing him describe the wide swath of devastation there and this tornado, sadly claiming several lives. what's the latest? yes that number keeps going up. we looked first. it was reports of six fatalities than eight fatalities. now you see, it's 11 fatalities that will most likely continue to go up. this was a
1:07 am
massive tornado, and it was suspected to have been on the ground for 75 miles. but let me qualify that by saying from rolling fork. all the way to silver city. that's about 75. miles then you go about another 75 to 80 miles, and then it's winona. and then you go to amery that goes from the west central portion of mississippi all the way to the northeastern corner of mississippi and then from there, that particular tornado looks like it may have been one tornado that kind of touched ground and then went back up in the air, and we saw a report. it's tornado reports coming out of south central and southeastern tennessee northern sections of alabama. we had a possible tornado reported in northwestern georgia. i want to report that out of morgan county , alabama, not getting a lot of attention. most of the attention has been on mississippi, where
1:08 am
we had the majority of the fatalities and that widespread damage so devastating and bless us first responders who just jumped in and really have made a difference for the folks who are trying to see what's left of their town in rolling fork, mississippi. alright in morgan county, this is just to the south of huntsville, alabama in northern sections of alabama. they said that there is a debris field about a mile long from a possible or suspected tornado. that people were trapped in a group home. there was an overturned trailer and a camper in which people were reportedly trapped. now this entire system is making its way towards the east. where you see that yellow right there. that's what we have tornado are severe thunderstorm warnings out and we are seeing some of these thunderstorms just kind of rumble all the way from blue ridge, georgia, all the way down towards rome extending back towards gatson, alabama, so
1:09 am
we're not completely out of the woods, but we don't have any tornado watches or tornado warnings. that doesn't mean you might not see some severe damage from some thunderstorms. some straight line wind damage but still the potential for some flooding across this region as well. so it's multiple events that will take place here and as it continues to move towards the east. this is what will start to pick up more thunderstorms through the carolinas all the way down through the floor. corrida panhandle as we go into the next 24 hours or so, so a very vigorous weather system and people i'm sure from this particular event and others if there's a tornado watch that means conditions are favorable. but in this situation there was a tornado warning and a tornado emergency kim that is the most dire warning. that means you need to take cover immediately. don't wait, so a lot of information will be had from survey true accrues coming up
1:10 am
from the national weather service as we get into daylight and can see exactly what has happened. valuable reminder you gave us there. we'll keep following this throughout the day care dennis, thanks so much appreciate it. u. s forces in syria have again come under attack from suspected iranian proxie. it's the latest in a long cycle of drone and rocket attacks by the militants in recent years. american troops were targeted twice on friday in their door and green village. one u. s service member was reported wounded earlier on friday. the us retaliated for thursday's deadly drone attack that killed an american contractor. numerous militants were reported killed in those airstrikes. here's what president biden had to say afterward. to make no mistake. the united states does not does not emphasis seek conflict with iran but be prepared for us tracked forcefully protect our people. that's exactly what happened last night. we've got
1:11 am
the latest now from cnn's nic robertson. well, the speed of the united states response to that drone strike will have been watched very carefully from tehran. they will likely infer from this as it is intended by the united states. they should infer that should things ratchet up. the united states has a list of potential targets that could damage iranian influence and assets inside syria, so this will be very clearly read as a warning signal. it's very hard to get clear and accurate information who precisely was targeted on the ground. however local media outlets in that area of syria and the east of syria are saying that the targets included a syrian hezbollah group facility. this they also say that too iranian islamic revolutionary guard corps officials. people were killed, as well as eight local iranian
1:12 am
proxies. these details are impossible for cnn to verify. we simply don't have the people on the ground there to find that out, but this is what's being reported locally. but there are a lot of other things that are happening in the background here that we can understand. we know that right now the united states and iran through intermediaries trying to get the release of four americans who are being illegal. really held in iranian jails and part of the discussions here would result in a benefit for iran, so this will be in the background, perhaps mitigating circumstances, potentially against deeper escalation. as well. iran will be looking at the situation in syria right now and understanding that bashar al assad is having a rapprochement with his regional arab neighbors that for iran signals a potential dimunition of their influence and interest inside syria because these arab neighbors would likely come into syria and help with the reconstruction and building and
1:13 am
have influence as they once did. over the past decade or so, the civil war, iran has been able to take advantage of that inside syria, so iran will see the situation in syria as perhaps over time tilting against this favor. that wouldn't explain why it struck a us based but these are the things just a couple of the things that are happening in the background in syria right now, but the message very clear to tehran. escalate your peril. the united states is ready. nick robertson, cnn london president biden is back in the u. s after whirlwind trip to canada and meetings with prime minister justin trudeau, the president and first lady arrived in delaware late friday night before departing ottawa. the bidens attended a gala hosted by the prime minister. the shared history and shared hope to shared prosperity and shared peace and security that binds canada and the united states together as allies. his neighbors. importantly, that's
1:14 am
true friends. it's not true. something the family. canada and the united states. yeah. it was reportedly a friendly and productive visit that addressed a range of issues on ukraine. prime minister trudeau said the u. s and canada are partners that ukraine can count on president biden signaled he's not overly concerned about the growing ties between russia and china, saying it's the u. s and canada that are expanding alliances to do also said they will work towards peace and stability in haiti as gang violence rages on in palo prince cnn's phil mattingly has details on biden's visit to ottawa. president biden's like 24 hour whirlwind visit to ottawa. canada didn't come with major expectations with us officials and canadian officials made clear in the lead up to the international visit that there were significant policy issues that they wanted to discuss, and there weren't likely to be significant policy breakthroughs and to some degree that was
1:15 am
true. there was an immigration deal in a critical one that that canadian officials have been pushing for several months. us officials finally signed on there were some efforts to speed up nor ad spending and development on the canadian side . certainly discussions about the economic and trade issues that very much animate the relationship at this point in terms of their disagreements, but more than anything else, president biden and to some degree president or prime minister trudeau wanted to underscore that it is a very strong alliance. it is a bilateral relationship that is both steadfast has great history and that history is only going to lead to more in the future and where there are disagreements, and there certainly are. they will resolve them. but if they don't they will remain friends as president biden put it in his speech to parliament. together we have built a partnership that isn't an incredible advantage to both our nations. that doesn't mean we never disagree. as any two countries will do from time to time. when we disagree. we solve
1:16 am
our differences in friendship and goodwill. because we both understand our interests are fundamentally aligned. that speech for the president received several standing ovations, including taking a shot at the toronto maple leafs. keep in mind. his wife is from philadelphia and as the flyers fan was part of a sprint of a day. lengthy bilateral meetings , also joint press conference with prime minister trudeau and then a gala dinner later before taking off for washington, all part of a packed schedule. that was some degree delayed. it is supposed to be traditionally the president's first foreign visit . when he takes office. this was not it was delayed. they had a virtual visit instead because of covid. but u. s officials and canadian officials alike feel like it was a productive and substantive meeting. but more than anyone, anything else, it underscored an alliance at a very critical and challenging geopolitical moment, an alliance that has been crucial to the western alliance efforts to support ukraine on the lines that will become more crucial just as you look the world's events over the course of the
1:17 am
last several weeks, whether it's china or russia or iran. certainly there are two countries and two leaders who have made clear they will stick together. whatever happens, going forward. phil mattingly, cnn. ottawa. new developments in the investigations into dald trump. aederal judge has ordered several trump aides to testify before a grand jury as part of e investigation into the january 6th attack on the u. s capitol, including former trumphite house chief oftaff mark meadows, now coming on the same day that a former trump attorney was compelled to testify about the handling of classified documents. you might think donald trump would see this as a new blow. but he says he's not worried listeners. you know, they bring attorneys in as though there you know witnesses to a case? it wasn't supposed to be that way, and i'm sure it's not supposed to be. but i don't mind if people testified because if they testify truthfully, filthy. i did nothing wrong. if you look at my statements in the statements that i've made during that day, and during other times
1:18 am
, uh, it was they were peaceful statements actually peaceful and patriotic statements. our evan perez has more on these latest developments. a federal judge is ordering former trump white house chief of staff mark meadows and a number of other senior aides to the former president to testify before a grand jury in special counsel jack smith investigation. judge barrel how rejected trump's claim that his former chief of staff and other close aides were protected by executive privilege claim that the former president keeps making and he keeps losing. also ordered to provide testimony are former white house aides stephen miller and dan scavino, former national security adviser robert o'brien and ken cuccinelli, former homeland security official. some of these witnesses have already provided some testimony, but declined to answer some questions because of the former president's executive privilege claims. trump's lawyers are planning to appeal the judge's ruling. and a trump spokesperson accused the justice department
1:19 am
of quote continuously stepping far outside the standard norms in attempting to destroy the long accepted long held constitutionally based standards of attorney client privilege and executive privilege. in paris, cnn washington. all right. so what does all this mean for the future of the investigations into donald trump or former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe offered his take on it earlier on cnn. here he is. what we learned in this effort to pierce the attorney client privilege between trump and evan corcoran is according to judge how all the department of justice presented enough evidence to convince her that donald trump had actually committed a crime or attempted to conceal a crime in his interactions with his attorney, corcoran so having made that sort of an evidentiary presentation to a district court judge and having had her decision approved by the circuit court. it is almost impossible
1:20 am
to imagine that jack smith's team will not indict donald trump, at least on the documents case. they've already presented compelling evidence in the course of this motion hearing, so we're definitely passed. i think a critical stage in that investigation now with the new folks, those eight close advisers who have been whose whose claims of executive privilege have been wiped aside, at least by the trial court level. the january 6th investigation is ready to get a surge of adrenaline as well. ukraine senses opportunity after months of brutal russian attacks in mahmoud why they could be about to launch a counter offensive against russia's weakened invasion force that's ahead and later israelis at home and in the uk are taking to the streets. some members of benjamin netanyahu's cabinet want him to back off from a proposed judicial overhaul level report from london coming up, stay with us. this is lisa. i'd

1:25 am
the city of mahmoud, which ukraine says is still under russian military pressure. but keep says the invaders aren't gaining any new ground despite more than three dozen attacks across the eastern front on friday. ukraine is suggesting that the time maybe right to change its defensive strategy in mahmoud and instead level of counter strike against the russians there. ivan watson has more. russia's war machine appears to be losing momentum in bomb moot where ukrainian commanders now exhibit optimism. after hurling themselves for months against ukrainian defenders in this city on ukraine's eastern front, russian troops and mercenaries have made on the incremental gains. and suffered staggering losses. russian forces in mahmoud are depleted, says one of kiev's top generals and the ukrainian counter offensive could soon be launched. harder to judge the
1:26 am
enormous sacrifice ukrainians have made in their costly defense of this embattled city. but while russia's efforts have slowed, they haven't stalled. ukraine claims the area has been hit with more than 200 strikes in the last day alone. and russia is sending in backup to coensate for the growing losses of wagner. private mercenaries with russian airborne troops now playing a greater role in the fighting around bomb mood, according to the ukrainian military want to say that the situation in the south has not improved in such a way we can talk about some kind of victory or anything like that. in the country, the enemy is applying even more pressure. president vladimir zelensky earlier this week paid tribute to the defenders of bomb oot visiting ukraine's eastern front to hand out awards. the deadly grudge match over mahmoud is far
1:27 am
from over. the ukrainian military says it's using the front lines of bomb moot. to bleed and exhaust the russian army. but how long can ukraine afford to fight a bloody war of attrition against its much larger, stronger enemy? ivan watson, cnn zaporozhie ukraine. and barbie. nadeau is keeping an eye on all developments in ukrainian to joins us now from rome. so first barbie what's the latest on the situation in the east? yeah, you know, this has been very, very relentless attacks. they say 38 attacks in 24 hours that ukraine was able to stave off. of course, this speaks to the importance of continuing support in terms of tanks and ammunition. getting from the rest of the world, especially here in europe, kim and then um, barbie, the u. n has issued a new report detailing the latest ongoing human rights abuses in the war in ukraine. so what more are we
1:28 am
learning there? yeah, you know, they say there are 700 offenses. 600 of these carried out by russian troops against ukrainian troops and 91 of those from ukraine against russian troops that are that have been held as prisoners. now we're talking about executions, horrific conditions as laid out by the united nations and other the evidence that they're gathering . of course, right now will be used for years to come when people started investigating the overall effects if and when this war ends, okay? alright thanks so much barbie nadeau in rome. appreciate it. just ahead. garbage is piling up on the streets of paris as workers strike over pension reform why it could create a public health problem if the mess isn't cleaned up soon and later, i'll talk with an expert about the impact social media apps like tiktok could be having on kids. stay with us. quick why burn a candle when you can switch to airway essentialal missed the portable and modern way to

university. she's also the author of the social machine designs for living online. thanks so much for being here with us. so there have been plenty of studies about what some see as a growing mental health crisis among youth and teens. but is there any evidence that social media is to blame for it? there are certain cases where there is real concern about that. for instance, the groups of girls who are, um into excessive dieting who can egg each other on online, but it's not. i don't think it's the case that you can blame all the issues with today's concerns or worries or depressed in among today's youth on social media. but the perception is that it certainly plays a big role, and that's why lawmakers are increasingly trying to take this on utah, for instance, tightening controls on what
1:41 am
teens can access imposing penalties if they violate them and allowing parents to sue. um obviously, there are plenty of legal hurdles about the constitutionality of these laws. but it points to the growing concern that lawmakers have in the efforts to regulate away some of these harms. do you think measures like these would actually help? i don't. i think there's several reasons for that . one is. i think there's a real concern that if it's difficult for kids to access, popular and well known social media sites, there will be other sites that will just appear as much more underground sites that they will access. so i think, even if it was a good idea, it's not really a practical one. there's a lot of demonization of social media. and they can also be a force for a lot of good for kids. there's a lot of kids who have really been helped by finding groups of peers that they don't have face to face that they have found online. they found support. they
1:42 am
found their communities that there's certainly ways that they existing sites we see now have been designed. that's much more for the benefit of advertisers and for extracting data for showing ads for keeping people online as long as possible. um yeah, i want to ask you about that, because i mean, we're talking about this in the context of the move to bend tiktok, which i imagine you wouldn't be behind that ban either. but when you're talking about these algorithms, and so on is tiktok specifically worse in terms of the algorithms that it that it uses. um tiktok. yeah, it is. problematic because it's a algorithm is so effective in keeping people online for long periods of time. i wouldn't say it's the worst, and i think there's different dimensions to look at them. one is how much time period are you spending online? one is, is it taking you in a direction there's a number
1:43 am
of infamous studies have shown that, for instance, youtube has had a tendency to get sent people to increasingly extreme videos. the more they look at it . there's another issues with algorithms that are designed to get people to reveal information extract data, so there's a number of problems here. i'm not saying that the sites are totally without them. but trying to ban them isn't necessary or keep kids away from them, as opposed to both in improving them and helping kids use them. well yeah, and i want to ask you about that because you know if there weren't enough to worry about with tiktok and all these other things now we have a i chatbots. i mean, you can imagine how confusing it would be to a kid's what advice beyond sort of trying to just limit their screen time. what advice do you have for parents out there? i think i mean, there's two big pieces. one is i think we really need to focus on
1:44 am
emphasizing the importance of real relationships with real people so that the social media side is a addition to that. but having just, you know, wanted part of it is to say, you know, really encourage your kids to have face to face friends that social media should not be their primary social outlet. um but also from the side of the issues with the ai chatbots in particular, and this goes for both kids and adults that we really need a lot more literacy about understanding what is real online and one of the most important things is understanding to look to the source of your information. that's something that i think everyone has to be much more serious about now, because it's gonna be so hard to tell. is that human like figure speaking to you an actual human. and where did their words come from ? you want to know? is there some source that is going to

1:50 am
been wiped out and now governor gavin newsom is lifting some drought restrictions, including a requirement to limit outdoor watering. he also lifted an order for residents and businesses to cut their water usage by 15% the us department of agriculture said the storage levels in california 154 reservoirs is now at a normal level, and that doesn't include large snowpack. which will be melting over the next few months. a lack of running water is often thought of as a problem seen in developing countries, but it also exists here in the united states, the richest nation on earth there, a signer reports from west virginia. you can see this ceiling, you know? what one good heavy snow and we're done. this. this building is gone. it looks like it's been patched up and patched up and patched up inside this dilapidated building where the roof is always threatening to cave in sits one precious item. what in the heck is this? that is an old turbine. uh huh. that
1:51 am
decades old pump is the only source of reliable clean water for roughly 300 residents. it sends water through the pipes into their homes. randy whittaker does his best to help maintain it at the facility. you think no you think? no, i'm not drinking any of that. but it meets all regulatory standards. we were there when the head of the environmental protection agency got a tour of the place in december. michael reagan's first initiative is to bring reliable, clean water to historically neglected communities across america into a building that's leaking that has ancient technology. and people's livelihoods. are dependent upon this antiquated system. this is not what we should be having in this country , but it is reality and the 300 residents serviced by this pump, have it good compared to thousands of other residents here who rely on rain or creek water for their water needs.
1:52 am
what is one thing you don't have in this house? we don't have water. sonny barton has lived on this west virginia ridge for 40 years, he says they're mountain community was promised pipe water when he first got here, but it never happened on my truck out of the creek. just straight out of the creek was great. so this is your water system water system right here. i'm assuming it starts here. here you go. fill those up the creek, okay? and i drop it off here. this is life in mcdowell county, west virginia, population 18,393 down in the valley. put my ship lap up over top of my cabinets painted my cabinets. tammy bailey put some serious sweat equity into her home. this man and hurt right here was the last mile on had my dad wore in the coal mines helped the family make a living, but they were never hooked up to a city or county water line. so one day i come home and um i
1:53 am
turned i'm not this faster, of course. and when i turned my tap on this is what i got. this was my water. okay, that. you can't even see through that. what? it smells like nasty rotten eggs. what's worse when bailey had her water test, and she says 14 contaminants were found. you can't even flush a toilet, no kicking, and none of the 1200 or so homes around here are hooked up to a reliable water source. we're supposed to be their best country in the world, the richest the richest country in the world. some 100 years ago, some residents here were among the richest people in the united states, the county's natural resources and the workers here powered america by mining coal. we know that historically these coal companies and other extractive industries were the
1:54 am
ones who paid for operated and maintained all of these town water systems. the communities then have to rely on infrastructure that is aging failing 100 years later, coal steel rules here, but it's a shadow of itself. self so as the tax base and infrastructure generations of families rely on my grandmother, um this is me and her. she didn't have running water until she was 70. she didn't have running water to shoot seven. yes ma'am, your clients and my grandma about every client that we have. it's what fuels me to do what we do. what eddie george does is help people in his hometown get water piped to their homes. he works for a nonprofit organization called dig deep. tammy bailey says she would still be living without clean water if it weren't for eddie and dig deep single woman one in camp, so i went knocking on the doors and dig deep and fortunately, they answered the cost to fix everything that went wrong about
1:55 am
10,000 bucks, she says. statistically that's about a third of a year's wages for most people in this county, where the median income is a little over $30,000 a year, but george points out that the problem isn't just about how people get water. but what's in it? these are what we call straight piping. it's dumping raw sewage into the stream. this lovely stream runs right through bailey's neighborhood. but every house we see has a straight pipe straight into it. the people we heard from here desperately want to be hooked up to a water system but have little hope that will happen any time soon. in an area like this year, i think 13 to 14 miles away from any main water source. but eddie george does see a trickle of hope because for the first time ever , the head of the epa came to mcdowell county and pledged to help fix what has been broken for far too long. if you come down some of these places, you would think he was in a third world country, you would never think he was in america. nobody
