traps, odors and little robot provides real time updates by whisker. eva longoria, searching for mexico premieres tomorrow at 10 on cnn. good saturday morning. it is march 25th. i'm victor blackwell. i'm aymara walker. you are in the cnn newsroom this morning residents and first responders across mississippi are surveying the damage after a night of powerful and really devastating storms.

at least 23 people are dead, but dozens are missing or injured. the national weather service has confirmed one large tornado caused catastrophic damage across several cities and towns . but there were a dozen reports of tornadoes across alabama and mississippi. now the storms, flattened homes and buildings and knocked out power to more than 100,000 customers across alabama, alabama, mississippi and tennessee. let's go to the ground. there were cnn's isabella isabelle rose salas is live in rolling fork. mississippi look, we spoke with the mayor a couple of hours ago, and he told us that his town is basically gone. is that what you're saying? that is certainly an accurate assessment of what we saw in rolling fork and guys if i can first tell you that i'm actually a little bit beyond the city limits three miles away. i want to show something to you right over here. this car. we're told by family members that they

were driving last night as the tornado. hit and the strong winds from the tornado. did all of this damage and force this car off of the road. now you guys were mentioning eldridge walker, the mayor of rolling fork, he said to us, the city is gone. not only that, but public buildings, including the police department, city hall, heavily damage and the mayor himself had a close call. he told me that he was trapped inside of the home with his wife as he started to hear the roar of that tornado to the point where they had to duck and hide inside of their bathtub and were then trapped inside of their home until someone could get them out. he says that this is not going to be easy. his city needs help, and he's been all day on the phone, talking to local and state politicians to different agencies to get an assessment of what sort of help rolling for it actually needs

here. we also spoke to the owner of chuck's dairy bar. that's a restaurant. there are people here in town. no at this is where they go for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a chat is home, and the owner told me that they made a split second decision after they got a call that they were in the zone for this tornado. to run sprint and hide inside of an industrial cooler. the owner, tracy harden , tells me that as they're closing the door to this cooler her husband peeks out of the door and sees that the roof is gone, that this was a matter of seconds. she says that that cooler saved her life and that of eight employees there inside of the restaurant today, the only thing left behind is debris and that cooler that steel cooler sitting on top of that debris pile, she's in shock. a lot of people were telling me they just didn't expect the sort of damage that this court tornado could do. their city is gone right now. we know from emergency management here in the

state 23 people have been killed related to the storm system. dozens of others have been injured, four people are missing. right now. there is a concentrated focus mission here . we've seen first responders and volunteers going through the different debris piles. what remains of buildings just looking around using heavy equipment, trying to find anyone that might be trapped underneath of that pile underneath that debris, and in the last two hours unfortunately, we didn't see any sort of survivors. we did see a moment where body was discovered and then taken away inside of an ambulance. that is certainly not what anyone in this town and it's a small town. they know each other. they know their names they eat together. they go to church together. that is not what they want to see. but still, the hope lives on every second matters to find more survivors. guys sons up now we're getting the fuller scope of the damage from this massive tornado. isabel russell's for us

there. i just outside of rolling fork with the latest reporting. let's bring in now. sheriff bruce williams. he's humphrey county, mississippi is on the phone, sheriff. thank you for being with us. first we know that there are active rescue efforts or any of those happening in new york county. yes right now we have a deal may on the ground doing assessments , going down neighborhoods and checking on homes and, um, seeing what equipment that heavy equipment that we need to bring in at this time. oh, what about the damage? how extensive. is it ? as we heard from our reporter isabel roselle is there near rolling fork? she was saying that the mayor said basically, everything is gone except for a few buildings are standing. even the city buildings. the police building was damaged. how? what are you seeing there? this whole town been destroyed like a bomb. hit it. we got multiple homes

destroyed. we got homes and not livable. and we also, um just, you know, heavy equipment and at this time so we can open the roads up and do more assessments. but this time on this town been hit real hard, sheriff, would you say that the heavy equipment is coming in and rescues are happening. let me try to concentrate. the question . here are our authorities. they're aware of people who are trapped, and they are working physically now to try to pull them out from collapsed homes. ah or buildings. yeah at this time, we have no missing person confirmed. um, we have three confirmed death at this time. what about the people who made it out with their lives but have lost basically their livelihoods? are there shelters that are going to be open for them? i'm sure they're red cross is stepping in yes, we have, um two places in the nearby town. bill zona gonna be the

multipurpose building is opened up for a shelter. they can go there. and also we have, um the best baptist brotherhood association. bill's gonna be opened up for shells. we interviewed to local officials this morning, including the mayor of rolling fork. uh both men told us their homes were destroyed. how is your home? how is your family? all right, i was , um my home speaks miles north of civil city. um outside. we just had trees down, but, uh, my home fine. and your neighbors. uh, at this time. i can't make comments on my neighborhood. i don't know. i've been on the scene here today. three this morning and back out. it seeks. so would you say that the heavy equipment coming in to clear the road. give us an idea of just i mean, we're looking at some of this video pop up what we're seeing in this preview monitor,

please. um we're seeing the extent of the damage across some of these areas. how are the roads passable at all? um can you get to these homes? give us an idea of how encumbered the work is at this moment. only only only suit. um right now we have 18 willows turned over tractors and they blocking the road. um we have a large trees blocking the road all their own feet. we can get to, um and check on the neighbor's been checking houses. hmm. well, you know, we know you have a lot of work ahead of you. a sheriff bruce williams. thank you so much for joining us for a few minutes, all the best to you. thank you. thank you, sheriff. thank you. i just mentioned that we spoke this morning with the mayor of rolling rock elders, walker. he said a lot of homes, including his own or damaged by

the severe weather, but he says his community is strong and they will rebuild his part of that conversation. devastation as i looked from left to right. that's all i see. a lot of families here are affected. uh lot of families are hurting. uh this community is. in the situation that we never expected . uh but right now, it's important to me that these folks are taking care of that our families who have been trapped oh, rescued and taken to, uh, hospitals for emergency care. uh, my city. hmm. my city is gone. but we will resilient and we're gonna come back. we're gonna come back. strong houses that are toned up can be replaced, but we can't replace of life. let's go now to cnn

meteorologist allison chinchar. the storm still firing up across the south this morning. walk us through what what went through mississippi and what's coming as it has the east. yeah, that's right, because it's not over. we need to emphasize that we've still had tornado warnings. severe thunderstorm warnings numerous of them as we've gone through the morning hours. so far, a total of 12 tornado reports over 60 damaging wind reports. you can see the bulk of those here between tennessee, mississippi and alabama and really the latter two of those states, where the bulk of the tornado reports have come in and you'll notice here. this one long line extending from rolling fork all the way back to just south of huntsville. this could end up being one consistent. long track tornado. or it could be multiple different tornadoes . you've got the weather service that's going to go out today and survey these storms to try to determine that very thing. but as we mentioned it's not over yet. you have the northern edge of the storm that's producing impacts in the form of snow and ice. but on the southern side,

this is where we're still talking. you've got a tornado warning right now right there along the alabama georgia state line, and you've also got some strong thunderstorms, lots of cloud to ground lightning and some damaging winds that could still bring down some trees and power. winds from the carolinas across the southeast. also this area up here across portions of west virginia, pennsylvania, where he also could have some strong thunderstorms there. one thing to note, however, at least across the southeast is this front is going to become stationary, meaning more rain showers will continue to develop not only across the southeast today, but also tomorrow as well. so a lot of these same areas that could get hit multiple days in a row and, yes , amber and victor, the potential for isolated tornadoes and damaging winds and also some scattered hail as well. no. not over yet. allison chinchar. thank you so much. this morning. investigators in eastern pennsylvania are working to find the cause of an explosion yesterday that leveled a candy factory. look at that. wow! left five people dead, six others

still unaccounted for huge explosion. it happened around five p.m. at the rm. palmer company in west riding outside philadelphia. officials say there is no danger to the surrounding area at this time. cnn's polo sandoval has been following the details. polo that wasn't spectacular explosion. what do we know? that video tells you much of what you need to know. and just how violent it was yesterday afternoon, searchers in crews have been working tirelessly through the night. they're trying to find some survivors, according to our affiliate w. f. m z, six people still remain accounted for that station in close contact with authorities, and at least five confirmed dead that we do hope to hear from authorities here very soon for full update me. while we do know that at this point, there's no indication as to what may have caused this explosion. candy factory. they are in pennsylvania, some 50 miles northwest of philadelphia . but you said something really important here. authorities have no reason to believe that

there's no immediate threat to people around the location itself. but just an important context for you. this company says that it employs about 850 people in a town of about just over 4000 residents, so it just speaks to help big of a staple. this factory is in that small town in pennsylvania. in fact, it actually is one of the ones that's responsible for manufacturing that iconic hollow milk chocolate easter bunny chocolate that, of course, especially as we get closer to easter. we all know very well so it's certainly something that this community now is coming to terms with in terms of the people that it is lost and also those at least again five people that are now confirmed dead, according to authorities on the ground, speaking to reporters there, and we do hope to hear from authorities here any minute now, as we get a full update on what may have caused this potentially and most importantly , where things stand in terms of trying to find any more survivors, just a horrible, horrible situation. pull a sandoval. thank you. president

biden is back in the u. s. after his first visit to canada since taking office, but tensions with iran and airstrikes in syria are a major focus for the white house right now, so the president ordered a strike on a target in syria after an attack by iranian backed forces that killed an american contractor message to iran. mr. biden warned that the u. s. will do what's necessary to protect americans. cnn white house reporter jasmine right, is traveling with the president in wilmington's delaware. so what more are you hearing from the administration? yeah. victor president biden is back stateside after his trip to canada that was really focused on deepening the us canada relationship, of course, is important ally but in the critical backdrop, there was this iranian backed proxy escalation. now we know that it was a through line through the president's last two days. he was first briefed about the

initial attack while on the flight to ottawa, where then the pentagon presented him. response options on air force one is where he ultimately authorized that territory strike. now when we saw the president biden just a few hours later on friday, standing next to prime minister justin trudeau at the press conference, we were learning in real time about a third attack by the iranian backed proxies. now president biden at the top of his remarks at the press conference, he addressed the first attack and he did so quite forcefully. take a listen. to make no mistake. the united states does not does not emphasize seek conflict with iran, but be prepared for us track forcefully protect our people. now in addition to that statement, the president offered his heart felt condolences to the american contractor that was killed in the other american service members that were wounded, but it's notable here that throughout the day on friday what we heard from us

officials was exactly what the president said that the us was not looking for any escalation with iran and that it was not really seeking out conflicts, but it would do what was necessary. respond if it was necessary. now the question going forward here is what does if necessary mean in the past. we know that it has meant when americans were attacked, either killed or injured. so the question is whether that's still remains the case and whether these latest attacks will draw a response from president biden. victor jasmine, right, traveling with the president there in delaware. thank you so much. let's get some insight now from former nato supreme allied commander and cnn military analyst general wesley clark. first question here. should there be a retaliatory strike after this latest attack? well there probably won't be because the president said he doesn't want to escalate this thing, but it depends on whether iran comes back with something else. or if we do make a strike. we've got to do something more effective

than worked in and then what we've done so far are we did the first strike we took out. the reports are eight. of these iranian killed and then they came back with two other strikes against us are not as effective but you know, it's a it's very tense. look, this is a stewpot in this part of the middle east . you've got our syrian democratic forces and the us working against isis. you've got the arrange coming in building supply lines to go against israel. you've got the russians in there. you've got the iraqis that we're concerned about. it's a very messy situation, and the best thing is to tamp down the conflict. but to do that, we've got to protect our own forces and we've got to keep them there. general when is what goes into deciding went to respond if not after this latest attack, um when i mean, we learned from the centcom commander that there have been 78 either rocket or

drone attacks on us forces by these iranian back militias since the beginning of 2021, they haven't been responses to all of them. why not this one. and how do you decide? it's just a matter of judgment really is to worry you're going. it's partly a function of ah what the group who the group was that struck what weapons they used how effective it was against us forces. what is the target list that we're keeping? how can we best deter future strikes? how closely are these strikes tied to iran? so the first strike used an iranian drone. these other strikes have used katyusha rockets. so there's just there's a marginal difference in the united states wants to deter an escalation. it doesn't want to let indiscriminate attacks continue. we do have defenses in place around these bases, but in

the first instance they weren't effective. we don't know why we may have to beat by beef up our defenses, but ideally, what we want to do is stay there work against isis. provide a counterweight to iran, and it's the same time not escalate the violence. some of the president's critics say that the best way to deter future attacks is by overwhelming response, senator lindsey graham tweeted out that america's response should be vigorous, overwhelming , punishing force that's an escalation beyond just the proportional response that we saw earlier this week. what's your reaction to that? that assessment that recommendation. yeah in general, of course, i agree that you need to overwhelm them and deter them from doing it again. but to really look at whether you should do it and how you have to know the target list . you have to know who the assailants are, and you have to weigh all these things in the

balance. now, if we thought we could get the exact same people who did this? 2nd and 3rd strikes. i'm sure we would do that. but maybe we can't. maybe we can't do it without collateral damages. maybe we're gonna wait two or three days to make sure. um yes, we should never allow us forces to be struck without striking back. what we got to strike back smartly and effectively. we do have the passivity to sort of ramp this thing up and do continuous air strikes, but that's not necessarily going to get us our strategic objective. general wesley clark always appreciate the insight. thank you, sir. well, thank you. the manhattan grand jury hearing evidence in the case surrounding former president trump's alleged role in hush money payments to stormy daniels is set to reconvene on monday. coming up. we're joined by a former manhattan assistant district attorney for more on what the jury may be weighing as they decide whether or not to indict.

you. now to the latest on the investigations into donald trump . on friday, a federal judge ordered some of the former president's closest aides to testify before a grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election. cnn national security reporters at cohen is following this for us. tell us more zach. good morning, victor and ameriyah that this is a significant development in the investigation around donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and a judge effectively decided that trump cannot use claims of executive privilege to prevent some of his closest aides and former top officials from his administration blocked them from testifying about certain things , including conversations they had with the former president during that time frame leading up to january 6th. now this list of names pretty notable tapped by former white house chief of staff mark meadows. meadows obviously one of trump's close

advisers. meadows was also part of some of the more dubious efforts to overturn the election. so you know the judges , citing that meadows has to come in and answer questions. it remains be seen if this decision will get appealed. but you know jack smith, the investigator, clearly ramping up the speed of his investigation, and, you know, wants to hear from the top officials and closes the trump about who can give him a window into the former president's state of mind and what he knew about the claims of election fraud. and the validity of those, obviously, they we know now there are baseless, but if he does bring a case against trump that will be a key part. of it now. trump spokesperson, obviously in a statement today, slamming the doj, accusing them of overreach, but there is no grand juries are allowed to be presented the information that they need to make a decision about an informed decision, and in this case, it's no different, overriding claims executive privilege by the former president. all right. we know that appeal is coming. zack cohen. thanks so much. alright

so let's turn now to another trump investigation, this one regarding the former president's alleged role and hush money payments made to actress stormy daniels manhattan grand jury investigating trump in this is expected to reconvene next week . and this comes as trump is escalating his rhetoric against manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, warning of potential death and destruction. if he is indicted. let's get some legal analysis now from former manhattan assistant district attorney jeremy island, jeremy. good morning. thank you for joining us this morning. let's just look back at this week. i mean, it was quite interesting, right? because first you had trump was predicting he would be arrested on tuesday. clearly that didn't happen wednesday. the grand jury didn't meet thursday. they met over a different case. and now looking to monday, the grand jury may convene to hear from an additional witness in this hush money case, so you've worked in this office before. what's your

read on what's happening here behind the scenes? i don't think there's anything atypical happened behind the scenes other than the fact that this is beyond high profile. this is the preeminent case. probably that office has seen her any office when it involves the former president of the united states, so they need to make sure that all their eyes are guided. their t s are crossed in. anything that can go wrong is addressed in advance that there's something an issue of law. if there's another witness, they have to take all the preparations to move forward. do you expect this case to wrap up sooner than an indictment will come down soon, especially with trump making this prediction. well i think you start off with that premise that the trump prediction was maybe more of something else, maybe more self serving to control that narrative because you might be expecting it could have been a campaign push. there's a lot of different reasons why he could have done that. i don't rely on anything outside. none of us are in that room. it's a secret proceeding. so there again, there could be more witnesses being called for that matter. we don't know if they will, in

fact, be an indictment. certainly the district attorney's office has the ability to withdraw that case if they want to before it's presented and before the grand jury votes, so you know it. could it be the week. certainly could it be? not at all? certainly but i think it if it does happen, i would assume sooner rather than later. sure sure, and on monday, we should also mention that michael cohen's former lawyer, robert costello, he testified at the request of trump's attorneys in an effort to damage coin's credibility. who as you know, is a key witness for the prosecution. what do you think? alvin brags? next move might be. will he call more witnesses? or maybe even michael cohen back to strengthen his case? well when your witnesses challenged and there's issues of credibility, you need to find all the resources you can to bolster that corroborate whatever that witnesses, saying that very well may be called michael cohen back that very well, maybe some other independent evidence or something. it could be documentary. it doesn't have to be a person. that could also be another party that none of us know of, and again. i can't

stress enough. this is a secret proceeding and but for the fact that it involves the former president, it's not something that would have a lot of press coverage and we would all know about this. is about ah, allegedly falsifying business records right? it's not about how many payments those are not illegal. i just wanted to ask you this because we know that no current or former sitting president has ever been indicted for criminal conduct. and i just wonder you know what your thoughts on what were your thoughts are on. you know when there are so much more, i guess. more serious allegations for lack of a better term that are being he's being he's being investigated for, including, you know, overturning a presidential election or his potential role in january 6th or even, you know , class, his potential mishandling of classified documents. do you think breaking precedent for quote unquote, a lesser crime? ah! would be worth it. worth. it's a relative term , and also none of this is

mutually exclusive. just because you might have committed a crime in place a and done something wrong. place b does not mean it. play see that shouldn't be pursued or prosecuted. it needs to rise and forwards own merit, and i think it's critically important to recognize that there is no greater currency than the public trust, so i would assume that the manhattan district attorney's office is not going to expend that currency on something that shouldn't be prosecuted that being said that being said what the benefit of the doubt may now be to the investigation. their burden always remains the same. donald trump, just like anyone else is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt , so to say, because there are other investigations and other potential crimes, this is not worth it. i don't think that's a fair, you know, analysis, so they're doing what they think is right. a jury. if it gets to that point will make the determination if they're correct. fair enough, jeremy olander. appreciate your perspective. thank you so much. thank you still ahead. more than a dozen ukrainian civilians killed in russian shelling as a battle for the key city of

. i thought it might have been one of my, you know. mm a buddies or pro wrestling buddies , which i used to do 20 years ago. and you know? someone playing a trick on me. so i was waiting for, you know? reaction. hmm. you know, like, hey, surprise. but it was utter silence. and we started walking towards the door and i was right beside the door. so then i was waiting for the punch line. and it never came. and he kept on walking. and as he walked closer to me, i noticed he was a very, very large man. at what point did you decide that you needed to wrestle him or take him down?

well. like i said, i decided to stay silent. you know, i had a little smirk on my face. uh because, you know, i thought it was a prank. but then, as he walked towards me, he stayed silent. not a word. then he walked right beside me. and, um . i noticed him draw his right arm and i saw a firearm. and he was pointing it towards the door. i knew that. you know, this was not a robbery. or a joke. and i knew what it was. police say that you saved a lot of lives by by jumping into to wrestle him again. we will say

there was another security guard who came in when you watch the video as we have now so many times. what do you think when you watch it as you know, watching yourself jump into take this man down. well i thought automatically that i had to go for the gun. i fixated on the gun and his his his wrist. and i waited for him to be close enough so i can grab that gun and wrist. i grabbed it and pull them back outside. i wanted to prevent him from getting inside of the club because i knew he would start shooting. yeah well, what you did is incredible. and i think tampa police said that there are about 200 people inside that club and i'm sure all those people inside are extremely grateful to your quick thinking and your actions there, along with the other security guard, many rust oh, thank you

very much for your time. you are truly a hero. thank you. well this week and off duty pilot jumps into action to help land a passenger plane after its captain became ill mid flight. it happened wednesday onboard a southwest airlines flight to columbus, ohio, not long after takeoff from las vegas. the reason behind the medical emergency is not clear. cnn's pete mountain has details for us. seen on board the boeing 7 37 sounds like something out of a movie, an off duty pilot and the passenger cabin swooping into the flight deck after one of the original pilots fell, ill stated while in route he's in the back of the aircraft right now with the flight attendants. southwest airlines says the incident started on flight 60 13 from las vegas to columbus, ohio . flight tracking data shows 27 minutes into the flight at 37,000 ft. the flights started to turn back for las vegas southwest says. that's when one of the pilots needed medical

attention and the credential pilot from another airline, entered the flight deck and assisted with radio communication. we need to get him on an ambulance immediately . modern aircraft, a single pilot can fly it and handle communications. but it's a very heavy workload off duty. pilots being pressed into service has been the subject of fiction. by the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? in fact, the situation what the pilot it out just last year, a passenger without piloting experience landed a charter flight from the bahamas with help from air traffic controllers. one the lone pilot became incapacitated. in 1989 and off duty united pilot volunteered to help wrestle united flight 2 32 into sioux city, iowa, when a major mechanical issue was more than the crew could handle. in this latest incident, the flight made a safe landing back in las vegas , but the helpful pilots

identity remains a mystery that he was willing to step in and did a good job is really, uh quite commendable. the nature of the southwest pilots medical issue is still not clear. experts tell us having two pilots his best, even though it's 7 37 can be flown by one pilot. there is a push to get rid of the second pilot. it would be a cost cutting move by airlines. the largest union of pilots puts it like this. the choice is between saving money, or like in this case saving lives. pete mountain, cnn washington. alright. thanks, pete maintained for that we'll be right back. think about the best night's sleep you've everer had a temper pedidic were dedicated to helping you sleep like that every night. so you get the deep, comfortable, undisturbed b breast you deserve for a limited time. save $300 on select temper pedic mattresses. get help reachi your goals tool in the chase mobile app to
