2:02 am
these have a look. these used to be homes now mangled mass of crumbled buildings, vehicles scattered like toys, trees and power lines, stripped bare and strewn about at least 26. people were killed and dozens were injured. the mayor of hard hit rolling fork mississippi, says his city is gone. hours ago, president biden approved a disaster declaration for the state to get federal disaster aid flowing quickly and one sobering fact the u. s. has seen more deaths from tornadoes in that 1 24 hour period than all of last year. here's how one resident described the devastation. mcafee unity. and. thank god we're alive, but also were so devastated by the loss of the whole trailer park behind the building is gone and we don't know where everybody is. we don't know it's alive and who's gone. kate emerald is
2:03 am
senior associate at team rubicon of veteran led disaster response organizations. she joins me live from hattiesburg, mississippi. thanks so much for being here with us. first of all, just described the conditions you've been seeing out there. thank you so much for having me this morning. the conditions here in mississippi, unfortunately, are just devastating. um we are seeing you know, down trees and power lines, vehicles overturned and thrown. great distances from where they were parked. we've seen, um you know homes that are completely destroyed or have severe damage. so it's very disheartening to see the damage here. i mean, were you just surprised at how wide and total the damage was from from this tornado? that door. tornado's destruction path is absolutely, um something like i've never seen before. i've been doing this for over three years. now i
2:04 am
can compare it similar to the tornadoes that i saw in 2021, the kentucky area in western kentucky. um very similar, very long track and, um, the devastation is just, um, it was awestruck you when you see it. yeah i mean, we're seeing the pictures from the area is just just on inspiring how powerful it was. i mean, just to even your organization is trying to help but even getting around trying to provide that help is a challenge. how are how are you going about it? it can be a challenge, however, in team rubicon. one of the services that we provide to our communities is that we provide chainsaw operators that go through and remove debris from these roads. so we you know, are trying to get into these communities and access these communities and we have the ability to do that, um, by utilizing our skills with those chain saws and opening up roads for the first responders for community members. to get back
2:05 am
to somewhat of normal by being able to move around their municipality. do you know? are there still people out there who need to be rescued or possibly recovered? i cannot speak for the entire area. i know that search and rescue has been the priority. um you know, over since the storm happened, right? whether it was neighbors trying to help neighbors or organized efforts for search and rescue. i think those will continue. i don't have specifics, as far as numbers are concerned, but we're staying in touch with the local communities as we try to render aid to them to make sure that we're not hindering any efforts there. so you're trying to help free the roads? i mean, what are some of the other things that you're doing? what are some of the other pressing needs? absolutely. we see the needs for, you know, roof tar ping, um , expedient home repair things like window boarding, trying to get, you know, homes. livable and livable condition for the homeowners, but it's going to be a long road to recovery here and
2:06 am
so team rubicon is going to be with these communities until we can get, you know, normal back and these communities. unfortunately more bad weather is on its way. i mean, how could that make your efforts and the efforts overall, more challenging? unfortunately bad weather does slow the efforts right? we have to think about the safety of our volunteers, and of all of the responders that are involved, um, in the recovery here, you know, obviously, we don't want additional damage that could come to other communities in mississippi or or anywhere for that matter. um but the individual homes that have sustained damage already could sustain additional damage through water. you know, being in rooms that it wouldn't be a normally because there was a roof there so it can compound the issue. but we're hoping that the rain stay south and stays less severe. yeah, absolutely hope that as well quickly for people out there. they want to help. how how can they do it?
2:07 am
absolutely um, you can go to team rubicon usa .org and sign up to volunteer. we are veteran lead, but that doesn't mean that you have to be a veteran to join, and you can also place a donation there that will help fuel our efforts and continue the recovery here in mississippi. alright listen, we really appreciate everything you guys do out there. stay safe. kate amaral. thank you very much for being here with us. and if you want more information on how you can help the victims of the deadly tornado and those storms that swept through mississippi, you can go to cnn .com/ impact. alright latest. i want to go now to cnn meteorologist karen mcginnis. so, karen, as i mentioned a couple of times, they're more bad weather on the way. do you have any updates on those new weather threats of the folks in the deep south facing? yes i do. and kim. it's a very volatile, very active and very dynamic situation. now just about an hour and a half ago, i saw one cell one thunderstorm
2:08 am
cell that was located to the north of montgomery, alabama, but now more being touched off across central sections of alabama. also in the mississippi now encroaching across central sections of georgia. there's a languishing whether system here and that's what's triggering all this activity with return flow coming up from the gulf of mexico, so lots of moisture twisted the atmosphere. but what we're primarily seeing right now is the storms fire up from lagrange over just to the north of montgomery, all the way over to meridian, mississippi is we're seeing mostly large size. hail large size hail as an egg size golf ball size. exhale we're also seeing lots of lightning will see some heavy downpours and now, the storm prediction center says. we've got a 10% likelihood that you could see an isolated tornado right now. we do have severe thunderstorm watches out as well as localized warnings and where you see these warnings. those are areas in the orange. that's where you're seeing the hail. also the high winds heavy
2:09 am
downpour. lots of lightning, so it's not benign weather, but it may not be torn attic weather, but overall, this is the severe weather risk going into sunday, pretty much extending across the southern third of alabama. also in the mississippi and for louisiana. i think the bulk of that stays to the south of the rolling forth rolling fork. is the county seat of sharkey county courthouse was pretty much demolished, and we saw the entire city with rare exception that was so affected by this tornado, which the preliminary estimates are it was an e f four and f four and ef five. tornadoes are considered rare. but very, very dangerous and deadly. when you look at that it is staggering to see just the extent of that damage and e f for will top acars. it'll destroy sturdily built homes. so
2:10 am
when you think about what an ef five could do, it wouldn't even it's unimaginable already. 26 reported deaths here. very volatile atmosphere across the deep south. also, the carolinas can expect to see the volatility as far as the weather is concerned, mostly with severe thunderstorms that track from rolling forth to winona, the track that moved towards the northeast, preliminarily 59 miles long. that tornado was estimated to be three quarters of a mile wide. if you can imagine just the ferocity of that. and what we saw. yes there is comparison but also in northern alabama. also came. we saw e f one in the f two reports of tornadoes and lots of damage and several fatalities there as well back to you just absolutely terrifying. alright karen mcginnis, thanks so much appreciate it. in pennsylvania. at least three people are dead

the morgan stanley client experience. listening. more than talking. and a personalized plan to guide you through a changing world. ukraine says at least two people are dead after russian shelling on the eastern front overnight, the statement says. artillery fire hit several towns in the donetsk region, leaving one other person wounded. meanwhile, russian state media claims the wagner group has gained more ground in mahmoud. the report says the mercenaries are now in control of the asm industrial plant on the north side of the city. no, cnn cannot independently verify that claim. but it came after ukraine said it pushed russian troops away from a key supply routes in mahmoud, a red cross official says the ukrainian civilians who remain in the city are in sheer survival mode. all you see, are people pushed to the very limit
2:18 am
of their existence and survival and resilience in them. houses are crushed by military firepower, roofs ripped off apartment buildings are riddled with holes, chunks missing, the constant threat of fund exploded shells, bombs underfoot, and some people still living in the shelters trying to survive these intense hostilities. against the backdrop of the kremlin's military struggles in ukraine. pleasant vladimir putin says russia will place tactical nuclear weapons in belarus, ukraine's northern neighbor hillary supporters, both ukraine and nato ally poland, it hasn't had a nuclear arsenal since the end of the cold war. but that could change in just a few months. here's how putin defended the movement and interview with russian media. the united states has done it for decades, they have placed their tactical nuclear weapons and their allied countries. nato countries in six countries to be exact. germany the netherlands,
2:19 am
belgium, italy, turkey and greece and we had an agreement with lukashenko as allies do the same. cnn's matthew chance joins us live from moscow with more on this developing story, potentially significant development. matthew take us through it. yeah, it's potentially soothing from but it it doesn't mean that belarus is going to have control over these nuclear weapons. in fact, vladimir putin was very clear on that point, saying that they would be transferred to belarus , but command and control over them would remain in russian hands. and so what that means is that they would be. for the first time since the 19 nineties, russia would be putting elements of its nuclear arsenal. these tactical nuclear weapons, not not the big intercontinental ballistic ones, but small but powerful battlefield types of munitions. it would physically put them in belarus. but it would maintain sort of military control over them. now the consequences for belarus are quite significant because what that means is that russia would have the opportunity with these missiles
2:20 am
to send with them a lot of troops to protect them and to and to use them if necessary, and so it's a further step that russia is taking to tighten its grip and increase its military presence inside belarus, not necessarily a further step towards nuclear armageddon. in fact, the u. s state department of the u. s officials as well have downplayed this move, saying that it doesn't necessarily change their calculus in terms of whether or not putin is going to use nuclear weapons. alright. so you explained what it might mean for belarus in terms of them not being able to control these nuclear weapons. what else does it mean for belarus and then for surrounding european nations? well, i think it's quite it's quite alarming, isn't it that you know every almost every week, putin comes out with some reference to his nuclear arsenal , and that sends alarm bells ringing in the neighboring countries. ukraine particularly , but also the other european states as well, um and you know, and, understandably, so. russia
2:21 am
has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, and it has the most tactical nuclear weapons than any country in the world as well. and so people are understandably concerned. but you know, i think there's a sense in which putin is largely doing this for a domestic audience. you know, he has to show that he has the initiative on the battlefield. he has to show that russia remains potent in the face of the reality, which is that progress into in in what he calls his special military operation. the war in ukraine is not very quick. there are setbacks. there hasn't been progress as rapid as the kremlin would have liked to have see events unfold on the ground and so by sort of talking about its nuclear it's nuclear arsenal and deploying its nuclear arsenal in this way to neighboring belarus . it gives the impression that russia is taking the initiative and is taking action and is on the offensive. but actually on the ground. really, nothing could be further from the truth. interesting. all right. thanks so much matthew chance in moscow
2:22 am
and cnn's ben wedeman is standing by in the ukrainian capital, where senior officials are weighing in on russia's latest move. so then you've been monitoring reaction there in ukraine. what have you been seen? well, what we see is that the ukrainians clearly feel that the temperature is being raised by president putin's statement regarding the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons sometime down the line in belarus. on the other hand, they are not pressing the panic button. we did see a statement from olexiy danny love, who is a senior advisor to president vladimir zelensky. he said, and i'm reading here. putin's statement about placing nuclear weapons in belarus a step towards internal destabilization of the country maximizes the level of negative perception and public rejection of russia and putin in belarusian society. the kremlin, he concluded, took belarus as a nuclear hostage. i think if you read between the
2:23 am
lines here. what do the ukrainians are saying that lukashenko, whose hold on power just a few years ago, was looking rather shaky, maybe weakening his domestic position by allowing russia at some point to deploy nuclear weapons in belarus and as. as matthew just mentioned the fact that this means more russian troops in belarus, a country which did allow the russians to use their territory to invade ukraine. just over a year ago, tim alright then, then ben from the battlefront now what's the latest, particularly in the ongoing battle for mahmoud? the situation there continues to be precarious. cnn was on the phone with a senior fish spokesman for ukrainian forces in eastern ukraine. he said that the russians in the area around mahmoud do not seem to be
2:24 am
suffering from a shortage of artillery shells that the shelling of that city continues to be intense. he says that there are around 4000 civilians , incredibly still inside. what's left of that. that city now, every day we're seeing that the russians have advanced in some areas, the ukrainians claiming that they're pushing back. and others. what's most important is that there is one last road allowing for ukrainian forces to go in and out of the city at the bring supplies and whatnot. that road continues to be quite dangerous and if, if, at some point the russians do manage to either cut that road or make it impassable because of fire that could spell the end of the ukrainian military presence in bomb mood. alright appreciate the updates. ben wedeman in kiev. thanks so much. you know, move likely to intensify an already volatile situation. u s

room to just, you know, show her gratitude and thanks competition . listen, we have a couple of moments here, so i thought i'd ask. you mean what's behind all of these upsets? is it just luck or is there may be something to it? we're seeing a lot more parity used. to be just the several few teams that duke's north carolina's kansas who are gonna be there, they're not there this year, and i think part of it. kim is the name, image and likeness deals, which are now allowed players in college sports are allowed to be paid to have their name on a jersey or in a video game or whatever it may be, and i think that's allowing some of these other schools to attract a star player. whereas before all the stars we're going to one of maybe four or five schools. well now you get these other schools that have a chance because they have some star players who were able to go there and get paid to play the game. equalizing factor. interesting stuff been a fascinating tourney. it's so far . been fun to watch it along with you. thanks so much. thank you, all of you for watching us. i'm kim bruun hoover. you can follow me on twitter at kim
