bianca nobilo live from london. max foster has the day off today, but he'll be back tomorrow just ahead on cnn newsroom. this is the worst i've ever seen. this is an unbelievable amount of rain pull on the side. streets were flooded everywhere. we have the threat for flooding, as well as the threat for severe weather and record warmth on top of it all. this person murdered my friend. but still i can't imagine how his parents must be feeling amazing grace. how sweet the sound we will get through this together. if you can see the smoke, you're in the smoke. get out of the smoke. this person has been negligent and irresponsible and it's led to putting a lot of people in danger. live from london. this is cnn newsroom with max foster

and bianca nobilo. it is thursday, april 13th nine am here in london at four am in south florida, where historic amounts of rainfall have caused what one city has made describes as the most severe flooding he's ever seen. up to 20 inches of rain have inundated that part of the state since yesterday, turning roads into rivers and forcing drivers to go through extremely high water. one local reporter sums it up this way. 12 years doing these type flooding stories in south florida. this is the worst i've ever seen. this is an unbelievable amount of rain, and it rained for a couple of days leading up to today's event that left just know where all this water that has fallen the past four or five hours to go. the water blocked this road in fort lauderdale. you can even see one person

swimming in floodwaters. county schools will be international airport will not be up and running until at least noon, and you can see the reason right here, flooding in parking garages and access roads and the terminal, which left passengers in need deep water. more now from cnn affiliate wsbn. flood but it's never been this bad, bad enough that an elderly man had to be pulled from his flooded car outside fort lauderdale hollywood international airport. his rescuers struggling to walk in waist deep water. water pouring onto the north bong federal highway entrance to the airport , paralyzing traffic going in. that's supposed to leave. it was heaven 25. but then i got a message about an hour ago, sleeping at an hour later. and not an inch of movement going out around 5 40. the airport

shut down officials asking people not to come to the airport or to leave water flooding the tarmac and everybody's phones was blaring off and i'm from ireland. i've never seen a tornado before and have never experienced that. so i was probably getting i wasn't afraid that the plane would blow away. off the plane. it wasn't any better. in fact, it was likely worse. the rain, relentless flooding lower levels of a parking garage. it's really scary flooding on surrounding roadways and on airport property led to hours long gridlock, trapping drivers in their cars. there were no public announcements, so that's the thing that's frustrating would have just stayed in the terminal. if we'd known i had this pull off the side. streets were flooded everywhere. mark barber was trying to get to a friend's mother, and her flooded home everywhere was flooded out every which way they go down 84 . so i thought i'd swing through the airport, but i'm stuck here. inside the terminal and outside and traffic. it's just a waiting game waiting for the rain to end

going to be here for two weeks, so i will have time to enjoy my family. for the latest. let's go now to meteorologist britney ritz, who is at the cnn weather center for us brittania, south floridians going to get any respite. yeah a little bit. things have finally died down a bit bianca, thankfully but over the last 24 hours, many of us across broward county's coastline have picked up a ridiculous amount of rain. 10 to 20 inches in that area highlighted in purple, you'll see that up to 20 inches have been verified. but in some cases 22 a half inches now that's estimated. but if it's the case, then we wound up with that one in 1000 to 1 in 5000 year event. which is pretty substantial. now, 22 a half inches in fort lauderdale, again estimated. if that's the case, too, that's more rain than what they typically get. in a seven month average period of time from november to may. now may starts the rainy season and i think

we're getting started early here . scattered showers still a possibility, riding up the treasure coast into the space coast, but again nothing like we saw over the last few hours. most of the rain now concentrated around the center of that area of low pressure that's still brought that rain across east. coast of florida. it's moving in now to parts of mobile, some of the heaviest of the rain this morning continuing on then it pushes inland and right up the east coast again as we roll into friday, very scattered, but still, if we get one lone storm to sit, it's not a good situation as we saw rainfall totals anywhere between one and two inches along the east coast that includes miami up into parts of melbourne, which would be the space coast mobile right up into parts of mississippi. expect most of the rain with that area of low pressure. ooh friday, picking up an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain on top of what we've already picked up and that severe weather threat holds two across the southeast. isolated tornadoes, a possibility as well with the spin of that low and on the ridge from the east coast

back into the plains of fire risk, and with that comes the heat. 65 possible record highs are possible all the way through the rest of this week temperatures. we're talking about almost 15 to 20 degrees above their normal 64 is our typical high in philadelphia. on thursday. we'll hit a high of 87 degrees will eventually get a cold front to move through and cool down for the weekend. bianca meteorologist britney roots thank you so much. an appeals court issued a ruling a short time ago on the fate of a key medication abortion drug in the us, it decided to pastorally grant the justice department's request to freeze the judge's ruling that invalidated the fda approval of mifepristone, but it left in part left parts in place of the order that halted changes to make the abortion pill more easily accessible. that effectively will make the drug harder to obtain as the legal process plays out. the case could ultimately end up before the us supreme court. and we're

learning new details about who might be behind the leak of highly classified documents from the pentagon. the washington post reports that they were posted in a chat room by someone who worked at an unidentified military base. the post describes him as a lonely young man and a gun enthusiast who went by the nickname o g. the documents were shared with about two dozen people on social media platform discord, which is popular with video gamers. the post cites an interview with a friend of the alleged leaker, who was also you remember of that chat group? the documents were often listed as ukraine versus russia. first however, it's slowly spiraled into just intelligence about everything. when i first found out that these were public made public it felt like my heart was beaten out of its chest and my legs were buckling and i could not believe that this was happening. we didn't realize the sheer just

immense nature of these leaks until, um a bit later. cnn can't independently verify the washington post report. the source refused to name the alleged leaker. documents posted online rayfield us efforts to spy on a number of its closest allies. louisville, kentucky is coming together in the wake of monday's deadly mass shooting at a downtown bank. hundreds gathered at a vigil wednesday evening to honor and remember the five people killed when a bank employee opened fire, the state's governor lost a close friend in the attack and is now advocating for stricter gun laws . a list of the victims at the gathering center plaza. tommy. josh. giuliana. jim. deanna. fathers. mother's grandparents. children. friends. each one a

child of god. these are irreplaceable kentucky ins taken far too soon by a senseless act of violence. that is certainly making me feel heartbroken. police have now released 911 calls detailing the panic and fear during the shooting, including one from the gunman's mother, shimon prokupecz, reports on what we're learning and a warning that you might find some of the video disturbing. i don't know what to do. i need your help. mom calls 911 after she was told her son had a gun and was headed to the louisville bank where he worked on any heading toward the old national but she said she didn't believe her 25 year old son was a threat. he not violent. mhm anything, please. okay? and you don't believe he owns guns. i know he wasn't only guns, but

she would wind up being wrong and the call came too late. execute er there son was already inside the bank where he worked shooting. maybe he had a rifle gun. has anybody been shot? yes 1911 caller hiding from the gunman. i'm in the closet with one person. yeah i hear you. i hear comes back and bank employees watching the attack on fold on a video conference meeting. we heard multiple shots when everybody started saying oh, my god, and then he came into the board. okay say the government livestream the attack on instagram. it was just one minute before he sat down and waited for police to arrive. he went to the front lobby after after assaulting the victims in the office area. and he could see out where no one could see in people there fast, please. the shooter used an ar 15 style rifle he'd legally bought six days before the attack,

according to police. body camera video shows louisville metro police officers responding. we're making entry from the from the east side, pressing the main and heading toward the gunfire. 26 year old officer, nicholas wilt is shot in the head and critically injured and we have a gunshot wound of an officer. his training officer corey galloway takes cover, but it's also shot before he returns, fire and kills the gunman. timing is, as we all know, is everything but not having officers to hesitate. but actually, um, really go in and say i need to stop this threat. words can express our sorrow, anguish and horror unthinkable harm, a statement from the family's lawyers said. but they also said that he struggled with depression, while the shooter like many of his contemporaries, had mental health challenges, which we as a

family. we're actively addressing. there were never any warning signs or indications he was capable of this shocking act. a democratic lawmaker kicked out of the tennessee state government for demanding stricter gun laws after a deadly school shooting has got his job back. the shelby county board of commissioners voted on wednesday to send justin pearson back to the tennessee house. the republican supermajority had expelled pearson last week. he and two other democrats were accused of intentionally causing disorder and dishonor after they held a loud protests in the chamber. pearson made it clear he's back. they tried to kill democracy. they tried to expel the people's choice and the people's vote. and they are awakened a sleeping gloria

johnson and justin jones and me on trial. but they ended up putting themselves on track. and there's other two lawmakers. pearson mentioned who joined him in that initial protests were in memphis on wednesday to support him. jury selection begins today in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against fox news and things are already off to a rocky start with the judge. he wants an investigation of whether the network line to the court and withheld evidence, cnn's brian todd reports. stinging setbacks for fox news in the defamation case against the network by dominion voting systems. delaware superior court judge eric davis says he plans to appoint an outside attorney so called special master to investigate whether fox news lied to the court and withheld key evidence in the case. dressing down foxes, attorneys from the bench, judge davis said quote i am very concerned that

there have been misrepresentations to the court. this is very serious. no one wants to head into a trial, particularly a trial where $1.6 billion is on the line with the judge upset with them. you especially don't want to head into a trial that is about knowing falsity with the judge thinking that you have engaged in misrepresentations. judge davis also imposed a sanction on fox over that same matter. the judge has expressed frustration over fox not being forthcoming over chairman rupert murdoch's role at the company. fox lawyers had long claimed murdoch doesn't have an official role at fox news that he was only an officer at fox corporation. it was only clarified recently that murdoch is also an officer at fox news. dominion is quite upset to be learning at the last minute that that role might be different than it was told. you can see that the judge here agrees, denies wrongdoing and says it properly disclosed murdoch's roles. also this week. another

reveal of the enormous scope of internal debates at fox news that dominion has been able to uncover in this case. dominion played previously undisclosed audio not on air of fox news host maria bartiromo interacting with former trump lawyer's rudy giuliani and sidney powell in november. 2020 in one clip, bartiromo asked giuliani if then house speaker nancy pelosi was tied to dominion, giuliani replied, quote. i can't prove that yet. in another clip, sidney powell asked bartiromo if fox could steer viewers to powell's legal defense fund. bartiromo seemingly agreed to do it, but her producers rejected the idea. bartiromo was being deferential to sydney powell at around the same time that court papers say other fox hosts were slamming powell and giuliani privately. laura ingram texting tucker carlson saying quote sidney is a complete nut. no one will work with her. ditto with rudy fox news is being sued for $1.6 billion for allegedly promoting false claims about

dominion machines rigging. the 2020 presidential election is probably going to be a lot of fallout from this no matter what they can't put this back in the bottle and say. we didn't tell you a lie. they did. overall fox says it didn't defame anyone and shouldn't be held liable for the assertions of hosts and guests on its air. fox says the dominion lawsuit is a violation of its first amendment rights and an attempt to quote publicly smear fox fur covering trump's election claims. the trial is expected to last about six weeks. brian todd, cnn washington donald trump is back in new york today to face another legal battle. sources tell cnn that he may be deposed in a civil lawsuit filed by the state attorney general trump three of his adult children and the trump organization are accused of a decades long scheme to enrich themselves by providing false financial statements to lenders and others that trump's deny any wrongdoing . lawyers for the former president have asked a judge to

delay the start of a sexual assault and defamation trial following trump's historic indictment earlier. this month is legal team is seeking to push back the trial by one month that would be too late may they claim potential jurors will have the criminal charges top of mind and that could taint the jury pool. former magazine columnist e. jean carroll opposes the delay request with her lawyer, calling it meritless. carol alleges that trump raped her in the mid 19 nineties and defamed her while he was president when he said that she made up the claim to boost sales of her book. trump denies the accusations. meanwhile michael cohen's attorney says his client will not be deterred or intimidated by a new lawsuit brought by former president trump trump is seeking $5500 million in federal court, accusing his former attorney and fixer of breaching his contract. cnn's katelyn polantz has the details from washington. donald trump is suing his former attorney, michael cohen, related to

everything that cohen is saying publicly now about trump, especially around his charges in new york and the hush money payments that cohen was funneling to stormy daniels before trump's 2016 election to keep her quiet. now, this is a new lawsuit that trump is filing in his now favorite venue, the federal court in florida, and he's asking for $500 million in damages, basically saying that cohen was spreading false information. in about him and also may have breached contracts by talking about his work for donald trump his client's attorney client relationship and also talking about his time as an employee of the trump organization. now when cohen was talking publicly, much of it has been done in the course of criminal investigations, at least to prosecutors, who are building the case around him as a key witness, but he's also been out there on podcasts in a book tour, doing many media interviews about donald trump. rump is taking issue with that we do know previously, cohen has

actually tried to sue trump himself to pay for his legal fees whenever he was participating in a federal investigation around this, and in that separate federal investigation long ago that this investigation in new york that brought the charges against donald trump grew out of we know that there was a finding cohen was actually doing very little legal work for donald trump at that time, but donald trump still wants to protect all of this interaction he may have had with michael cohen, prosecutors say was ultimately illegal behavior. katelyn polantz cnn washington still to come at new details on a laundry list of issues at an indiana recycling plant where a massive toxic fire could burn for days. plus finally, some relief for shoppers in the u. s. food prices have dipped for the first time in 2.5 years and gruesome reports from the battlefield in ukraine. video of russian fighters apparently beheading ukrainian soldiers. molly feel

forced thousands of people from their homes with no idea when they might be able to return. residents have been advised to stay indoors, conserve energy, limit engineers in their vehicles and not burn anything that could add more harmful smoke to the region. as questions grow about what caused the incident, cnn's cnn's omar jimenez reports. well, i've always said that place is gonna go up in flames one day, and it sure did. this massive fire at a large recycling plant, putting out toxic smoke could burn for days, officials say 14 acres of plastics stored on the property , but with this site, especially it wasn't a matter of if, but when, with city officials aware the operations are a fire hazard issue was a unsafe building and unsafe grounds and putting the blame squarely on an owner of the recycling plan. that business owner is fully responsible for all of this. we have the unsafe building order and the recorded court documents

and everything that's ensued here. the fire the damages, the risk that our first responders have taken and the risky citizens are under are the responsibility of that negligent business owner and evacuation orders in place for a half mile radius around 2000 residents ordered to evacuate, including one who lives at the heart of it from the debris that some of it was on fire. and hit the trees, the tree line and the trees immediately ignited. when she got the evacuation order. she didn't hesitate to leave her home. when they said evacuate. i didn't have shoes on i had socks on and i left my purse. my shoes . i left a lot of things personal things you know at the house and just got in the car and drove away for health officials. their key concern now is hazards from the smoke. these are very fine particles, and if they're breathed in, can cause all kinds of respiratory problems burning of the eyes tightening of the chest, it could aggravate asthma. ah cause

bronchitis and all kinds of things to monitoring particulate matter looking for toxic chemicals, residents are being told to stay indoors, but the uncertainty is causing concerns and frustrations. it's hard to say what's going into the city there right now, we would like able to breathe the air. and to drink the water. so we want to hear from the officials have reached out to the previously mentioned owner of the burning property behind us, but we haven't heard back now the epa teams have been on the ground here, testing the air quality now so far as far as the area around the ground. they have not seen levels of toxins, but they believe those boxes are going into the air and so again while the air quality around the ground is okay. now they believe that is something that could change at some point, and it is why they say they are testing continuously. oh martin mendez, cnn richmond, indiana. ukraine's

security service has opened a war crimes investigation as to videos posted online appeared to show russian fighters beheading ukrainian soldiers. the foreign minister in kiev calls it worse than isis and says russia should be kicked out of the u. n. president vladimir zelensky described the russian fighters as beasts who must be held accountable. cnn's claire sebastian joins me now with with more claire walk us through what we know and what we've seen. yeah, we're not showing the videos because they are are incredibly graphic, but we are showing some stills from these videos and we should still want our view is that they are also graphic and could be disturbing . so take caution to watch that the first video that we can talk about purports to show the aftermath of two beheadings of ukrainian soldiers purportedly filmed by members of the wagner private military company you can see and there's still sort of see. the ruins of an armored vehicle nearby and their two

bodies lying on the ground. but if you look again at that close up, you can see a yellow arm. that is. it shows it sort of loyalty to the ukrainian military. that is on one of the victims. they had their heads cut off, and it looks like their hands as well. a voice in russian on the video says that says they've been killed, their heads have been cut off. there's laughter. pro russian social media channels have claimed that this video was filmed near back mood. we, of course, have not been able to verify this. there's another video, which shows the actual act seems to show the act of a beheading. the plant life as you can see in this video suggests that it might have been filmed in summer sometime ago. perhaps we haven't been able to verify that, but you can see that white band around that soldier's leg that is the soldier actually carrying out the beheading that shows loyalty to the russian military . and then we have another image , which shows a yellow armband again around the arm of the victim. very very graphic that

again that yellow showing affiliation with the ukrainian military so these we can't confirm where or when, or who, as of yet, as you said the ukrainian security services are conducting an investigation, but really, really graphic points to potentially crimes carried out by russia, the ongoing brutality of this war and the videos themselves. bianca point potentially to part of this information war. ukrainian officials are warning about the propaganda value of them. they might be used as a psychological operation to intimidate in this wall. sebastian thank you so much. applying all of the caveats that you outlined. this is just the most. visible and horrific display of what humanity can be capable of. north korea has fired another ballistic missile, and this one triggered an evacuation warning from her kato, japan. that warning was later lifted, but japan's government said it was not a false alarm and that it

was meant to inform people about possible dangers like falling objects from the missile by cnn's count. this is the 12th day this year that north korea has fired one or more missiles. right now it's severe tropical cyclone is barreling towards western australia, where it makes landfall in the coming hours. it's expected to be one of the most powerful storms to hit the region in more than a decade and is currently headed towards the coast with the strength of a category four hurricane authorities are piling up sandbags and residents are being urged to get to safer ground. from delicate diplomacy to a big dose of nostalgia. we're live in dublin with the next stops on joe biden's tour of ireland, plus high inflation and rising rents lead to a surgeon. evictions in the us here from some americans finding themselves priced out of their homes. purple impact starring experience. credit card

feels like home crowds. welcome joe biden to county allowed the birthplace of his great grandfather. today he'll meet with irish leaders and deliver remarks to parliament. this less intense leg of his trip follows a visit to northern ireland, where he called on the main political parties to end their stalemate and resume the power sharing. agreement cnn's nic robertson is live for us in dublin, nick. obviously earlier in the week, we've been focusing on the delicate political dynamics in northern ireland. now biden is south of the border links between the us and ireland extremely strong. i read that one in 10. americans identify as irish and what could be the practical importance of this visit and how it could bolster ties. i think the president being here obviously very significant that is addressing a joint session of the iraqi parliament here. the doyle in the senate, there's only been where he will be the fourth us president kennedy reagan clinton

who have done that here, so i think the very fact that he'll be making a speech there to highlight those irish ties to highlight the connections with the united states speaks to his sense of himself as as being of one of those one in 10 in the united states, who who really feels that they have strong irish roots and making those connections with real feeling, because it comes with president biden. it comes from the heart, the practicalities of what he might achieve, he might achieve endearing himself to those one in 10 americans, which of course , is important come elections next year, but i think at a practical level for the president, this really is a trip that has been wanting to make as president. he came vice president. it's been important for him to try to shape the narrative over northern ireland . but here it will be, as you say about affirming those roots . affirming the ties are so many american companies here that are investing in the republic of

ireland that see the republic of ireland also as part of their roots and ties. and i think that's what we'll hear the president expressing today, but it will. really i think a speech that will come from the heart. nic robertson live for us in dublin. thank you. we'll see if wall street can rebound when the markets open in just a few hours . stocks gave up earlier gains wednesday after minutes from the fed's march meeting revealed fallout from the recent banking crisis could push the u. s economy into a recession. but new economic data shows positive signs the pace of u. s consumer price increases continue to cool down in march from last summer's red hot levels. annual inflation dropped for the ninth consecutive month, and we're also seeing positive signs for prices at the grocery store. food prices finally dropped in march, falling for the first time since september of 2020, but housing costs remain sky high, and millions of americans are falling behind on their rent and mortgage payments. cnn's
