canadian wildfires choking major u.s. cities and the people who live there. these are live pictures of the haze now across many parts of the northeast. at one point yesterday, new york city topped the list of the world's worst polluted cities. today, new yorkers can barely make out the city's skyline. looks almost like the surface of mars there. there's a code red air quality warning in effect for philadelphia where all residents are urged now to stay indoors. even here in washington, d.c., we are seeing the effects, as well. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray, she's been helping us understand this. jennifer, looking at that map there, first of all, boy, look at that ranking to see the u.s. well above for a time, new york city well above some of the worst polluted cities in the world. >> uh-huh. >> tell us about that ranking, and tell us how long it's likely to stay like this. >> well, new york city right now is topping the world for the worst air quality of any major

city in the entire globe. so new york city's at that number-one spot now. now this changes about every five minutes. so in the next 10 or 15 minutes, that could drop to number three, four. but regardless, over the last two days or so, new york city has fallen somewhere within this top ten list of the poorest air quality in the world. toronto has been right up there, as well, with new york over the last couple of days, as well. so it just drives home how horrible the air quality is across the northeast, new england, even into the mid-atlantic. you can barely make out the skyscrapers there. i don't know if you can see it on your television. i can barely see it from here. but the smoke is so thick, we've seen visibility less than a mile. new york city's less than a mile right now because of the smoke. we've seen ground stops at airports because the visibility is so low. so this is basically going to hang around, jim, for the time being. we need a huge shift in the weather pattern before we start

to see this let up a little bit. so it's all driven by the wind. right now those winds are out of the north, and it's pushing that smoke all into the northeast, new england. you can see all of those little red and purple dots, that indicates unhealthy and very unhealthy air quality. some of these cities are even in the hazardous category which is the worst. so that's why people are urged to stay indoors, especially those who have respiratory illnesses, children, especially kids and adults who have asthma really need to stay out of this. especially because this is going to most likely stick around for quite a while unfortunately, as long as we have this high stuck here and the low right to our east. these winds are going to funnel right in between. and at least for the next secreseven to ten days i don't see any huge changes in the weather pattern. jim, remember how long we were stuck in that weather pattern where we had the atmospheric rivers roll across california? >> yeah. >> you can be stuck in these stagnant weather patterns for weeks and even months. we're going to be talking about this for quite some time.

as long as these winds are out of the noe-- out of the north, can be stuck in the patterns for some time. as long as the winds are primarily out of the north, we're going to continue to see the smoke from the fires down here. we're still early in the fire season in canada. so we still have a long way to go before these fires are extinguished across canada and portions of the northeast and even into the u.s. but the wind will vary. so some days it's going to be worse for the northeast, some days the winds are going to shift a little bit more. it will be worse for, say, the ohio valley. but when it clears out for somebody, it's going to be bad for somebody else. that's really going to be the big story over the next couple of days and even weeks, jim. >> jennifer, you did a great job of explaining last hour how it's two things here. it's the wind flow that's carrying the smoke down from canada, but it's all that low-pressure system that's capping it there so it just can't escape around that area, the new york city area and

beyond. >> yeah. yeah, yeah. we sort of get in these patterns where especially when you're in the areas of high pressure where the air is sinking and it can't really escape, we talk about these heat bubbles, high-pressure domes and things like that when the air is sort of sinking and can't really get out of that. so this is going to be trapped down close to the atmosphere for quite some time. you know, we're going to see very thick smoke across places like new york, across the i-95 corridor, upstate new york. this is this evening around 6:00. and you can see what happens during the overnight hours where the smoke, the red colors are the thicker, denser smoke, is really going to continue, gets worse for d.c. overnight. do take a little bit of a break, it will improve on friday. but just as we're talking about, there we go. it's going to get worse for portions across -- people in west virginia, western pennsylvania, ohio, and so as that smoke just sort of shifts back and forth this will be the trend. >> yeah. what a scene there. thank you so much, we're going to keep coming back to this. there's a lot to learn. jennifer gray at the weather

center. i want to bring in miguel marquez, our reporter in new york city, in times square i believe still. there you are, miguel. tell us what the air feels like there so folks who aren't experiencing this themselves can understand. >> reporter: it's like you're out in the wilderness, and there's a arkansas a camp -- a campfire with a woodsy smell. that is amazing because the fires are so far away, and there are so many fires and so much smoke that it's being felt, and you can smell from hundreds of miles away. when i've been in los angeles or san francisco or other places that get inundated by wildfire smoke, usually you're 10, 20, 30 miles away. to see it in new york city, there's the world-famous ball that drops on new year's eve, as you look downtown there you can maybe see 10, maybe 15 blocks or so.

but then you can't see beyond that. it is just bizarre to see here. if you look out east, that's where the sun rises. very, very dark down there. and you still have a bit of that orange sort of haze as you look east in manhattan. i'm going to have you swing all the way around here. look west. look at sort of the sky there. that's -- the sun is on that side. that should be very bright. and you're not seeing it -- any of it. this is one thing you're seeing when you look at the people here in times square. the number of people not taking pictures of the billboards or themselves or other things, but taking pictures of the sky and just how bizarre it looks. people in masks, as well. we talked to a few people who were with masks in from new jersey for the day. young people who are concerned about their own health and breathing in the smoke. you can feel it in your throat. you can feel that sort of scratch in your throat from breathing the smoke in. >> miguel? >> reporter: it's also affecting the airports here. a couple of the airports are -- yes, sir? >> i have to ask because the guidance is to stay indoors if

you can. seeing a lot of people there not staying indoors. frankly, not wearing masks. have you talked to folks about why they're not listening to that guidance? >> reporter: well, look, this is new york. people are here from all over the world. they've come to new york for a vacation. it is afternoon -- it's not perfect conditions. i'm sure you've been in worse conditions in terms of air quality in your life. i think if you have underlying conditions, if you have asthma, if you have lung conditions of any sort, if you're elderly, very young, those sort of things, you want to try to protect as much as possible. but you know, it is even affecting the airports here with some of the airports reporting flight delays because visibility is just so poor. so it is affecting people. but most people -- this is new york. people are not going to stay in. this is times square. you know, this is sort of the beating heart of the city. and it hasn't really changed behavior here very much today and, you know, i think people are kind of looking at it as an

oddity and may have a sore throat but it will be worth it in the end. >> goodness. good to have you out there helping walk us through it. miguel marquez there and certainly a lot of health questions here. is that a good idea? what should folks be doing as this continues to linger over american cities? i know that's something you're going to dive into now. >> no question. there are potential health effects. i can feel a little tickle in my throat from being here in washington, d.c., hundreds of miles from where miguel is. and you see a haze over the skyline, and it could potentially get worse. >> it's unusual because we're used to seeing this in places like california where you and i have both lived or washington state where are these fires. but this morning, i know when i left my house, you could smell what miguel was talking about, that sort of campfire smell. and it is serious, especially with kids, which i think we're going to talk about, as well with cnn medical analyst dr. jonathan reiner. a cardiologist and professor of medicine and surgery at george

washington university. so what is on your mind, doctor, as you're seeing these skies, as you're seeing this air quality? because this is going to be pushing down beyond the northeast and the mid-atlantic. we're looking at west virginia experiencing these smoky conditions. what do people need to be keeping in mind? >> i think people need assess their own risk. and you know, the immediate effect of living in these smoky really unusually smoky conditions is that the smoke contains fine particulates which become really an acute respiratory irritant. and to people who are prone to respiratory problems like people who do have asthma or copd or bronchitis or are recovering from a lung infection or who have congestive heart failure, the air and smoke can cause acute respiratory problems. those folks should stay indoors until the conditions improve. for people without those chronic

conditions, it's not great to be in that environment, but it's probably not super dangerous. having said that, when the air looks brown, maybe it's better to stay inside for most of the day. >> yeah, sounds like a pretty good idea. doctor, obviously the forecast is changing as we speak, but it looks like it is going to be a few days before this disappears. what concerns do you have about long-term exposure over several days and not just an afternoon in this kind of smog? >> i think fortunately the long-term effects for just a few days of this are probably pretty minor. as i said, the short-term effects are mostly -- the smoke is a respiratory irritant. remember when wildfire burns, it burns not just organic material, grass and treats, but it burns structures and vehicles. all of that toxic material goes into the air. there have been study looking at

places where people have been exposed for a very long period of time to the toxic smoke from wildfires, and that's when you start to see an uptick in cardiac disease in the weeks -- in the months and years after that, as well as even a hint that maybe things like lung cancer can be found in higher rates in people who are exposed for very long periods of time to this kind of toxic smoke. but i think the risk, you know, in this kind of particular episode in the united states is very low for that. >> let's talk about kids, doctor, because you know here in the washington, d.c., area, up in new york and so forth, they've been going out for recess. i suspect there are a lot of schools that are keeping them in today and will do so in the coming days. what needs to be happening when it comes to children, and what are the particular risk factors especially considering how much activity they do undertake when they're outside?

>> well, asthma is a bad problem in kids. and i think parents who have children who do suffer from asthma should absolutely not have them play outside. and as a rule, if some of the kids in school will be at increased risk for recess outside, maybe it's best to keep all the kids inside until the air quality improves. the other thing that people in other parts of the world that are subject to this kind of toxic air all the time do is they wear a mask. and if you've ever been to beijing during a hot summer when the sky looks like it does in new york now, but every day, when you go out on the streets, people are wearing smoke masks. and i don't think that's necessary now. but if i had a respiratory condition that increased my risk and i had to go out, i would absolutely wear a mask now. >> doctor, some of the concern also is that because this is going to linger for some time you may start to feel symptoms and be impacted by this even

while you are indoors. so folks that follow that advice and don't go outside, they could start feeling that irritant, that nasty cough, et cetera. what's your advice to those folks? and how do you know, what do you watch for if you're having a serious issue indoors? >> yeah, i think what you want to watch for is the beginning of a scratchy throat, beginning of a cough, increase in shortness of breath. those are some of the symptoms that you want to look for if you're having a problem from air quality. most people indoors now should not suffer those effects. but being outside for a period of time, that's when your most likely to have the full irritant effect of this kind of toxic air. >> all right, dr. reiner, thank you so much for walking us through this. i know this is information that's going to help a lot of people. we have much more on our breaking news ahead. 55 million people under air quality alerts due to these

wildfires in canada that are sending hazy, smoky conditions down into the northeastern u.s. as well as the mid-atlantic and heading further south and west here in the coming days. we're going to be right back. they got world class bakers to develop their tastiest bread yet. this truly m makes the subway series a dream team. you know about thahat chuck. yeah, i was the bread of that team toooo. try the subway series menu. their tastiest refreshsh yet. you go by lots of titles veteran, son, dad. -it's time to get up. -no. hair stylist and cheerleader. so adding a “student” title might feel overwhelming. what if a school could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health.

we are following breaking news out of the northeast, and this toxic smoke that is just blanketing the region. if you are in new york city, this is what you are dealing with. you can see it. it is so thick. it is now at the top of the world's worst air pollution list. there is also a code red in effect for philadelphia. the thick smoke caused by more than 400 wildfires burn flooding canada. look at this, this new york city, this picture over time. you can see how it has increased throughout the day, just getting worse and worse to the point where there is no visibility. let's bring in jennifer gray, our cnn meteorologist, to talk about this. it's no surprise perhaps when

you're talking about 400 fires, that is the magnitude, they are producing so much smoke. tell us where exactly this is coming from. and if these are fires that are maybe being contained or no? >> a lot of them are still burning out of control. and quebec is really the hot spot for the wildfires at the moment. i don't know if you remember a couple weeks ago we were talking about fires in alberta. those are really bad for a couple of weeks ago. now quebec is really the hot spot for these fires. and so it's just all of this smoke is just driving down to the south. we're stuck in the stagnant weather pattern. we've got winds out of the north. so the smoke from the fires are coming down into the u.s., impacting much of the northeast. and it's -- it is unprecedented. canada has seen well above the normal -- number of wildfires they normally see. this is to date, and you can see more than nine million acres burned. these are for the total year. so we've seen almost triple the

amount of acres burned just up until this date compared to last year, the entire year. and we are still early in the fire season across canada. so we are going to see some pretty staggering numbers in the next couple of weeks and months if these fires continue across canada. so it's resulting in that poor air quality all across the northeast, the eastern seaboard, even back into the midwest, portions of the ohio valley has seen smoke over the last couple of days and even weeks. and so you can see from the satellite imagery, this is all the smoke right there just coming in from the north, from those fires. and until we get a huge shift in weather pattern, nothing's going to change. so while we might see a little bit of improvement from day to day, i think in the next week or two we're really going to see the smoke stick around, not necessarily to the magnitude that we're seeing today in new york city, but there's going to be some city in the ohio valley, the mid-atlantic that's really going to look like that in the

next couple of days if that makes sense. we're seeing this unhealthy, very unhealthy, even hazardous air quality all across the i-95 corridor for today, even portions across the ohio valley, upstate new york. that's why people are urged to stay inside, especially people that are sensitive, have respiratory problems and things. new york city topping the list right now for the worst air quality in the world. now this updates every couple of minutes, so you might see it drop to number five, drop to number three. but needless to say we've seen it in the top ten over the last two days somewhere on that list as well as toronto. so a little bit of what i was talking about where some people might get it the worst one day and others the next. it depends on that wind direction. here's new york city in the red. you can see getting the worst of it. through this evening. and then d.c. getting it, as well, sort of amplifying as we go through tomorrow. but then by friday you see new york sort of improves a little bit. but what happens is the worst of the smoke has drifted to the west because of the wind direction. so when it improves for one,

it's going to get worse for another. so that's what we're going to see over the next at least send to ten days. i don't see this pattern shifting any. we're going to get that northerly wind over the next week, week and a half at least. and then we'll know beyond that in the days to come if this is going to change at all. >> yeah, i mean, we're seeing where it's headed, and that's going to be to the west of washington, d.c. west virginia almost entirely going to be blanketed in this and quite a considerable part of virginia, as well. jennifer gray, thank you for taking us through that. cnn's athena jones is joining us now from a rooftop in new york. athena, that is a scene unlike any that i have seen from new york city before. >> reporter: hi, it absolutely is. you know, we have been covering this all day. it was much better a few hours ago along the hudson river. we are now on the far east side of manhattan. this is the east river behind me. you can see rhode island and the

bridge -- roosevelt islands and the bridge there. on the other side is the borough of queens. you can't see it at all, even on the drive over here you could still make out some of the skyscrapers, taller buildings and office buildings on the coastal part of queens. now you can barely see them. i want you to see on this side of the building, walking toward midtown manhattan. we're around 57th street. there is the east side of 57th street to the west side. this is known for having, some call it billionaires row. we've got very, very tall skyscrapers, very tall buildings that you cannot see. all of that wide-open white space back there is something that would be occupied by skyscrapers, by buildings that you just can't see right now because the air quality is just so terrible. this is something that even as of last night officials were warning that it was ten times the particulate matter in the air. it was way higher than what the

world health organization says is okay and is safe. and that's what this comes down to. this is why people are encouraged to use masks, to double up on masks, high-quality masks. to stay inside as much as possible, particularly if you're among the vulnerable, the elderly, very young children, someone who's pregnant, with cardiovascular issues, respiratory issues. this kind of pollution can really exacerbates that. so that is the main precaution. also why schoolchildren are being kept inside, all outdoor classes canceled. not just in new york but elsewhere across the northeast down to raleigh, north carolina. but this is the worst we have seen it. you can't even see -- let me look over here real quick. downtown, if you look past there, you see a few buildings, a couple hundred yards away. beyond that, there are many, many more buildings that you simply can't see. so you get a picture of what we're dealing with here in new york. >> unlike anything. and just the way that it changed so quickly over the course of the day with the smoke coming from these wildfires in canada. athena, thank you for giving us

that look there in new york city. jim? mike pence has officially announced his campaign for the presidency, and this time he is running against trump, not with him. so what did he have to say about his former boss? some strong words. that's next. -okay, and one more. -i think we got it. -yeah, let's focus on the rv. -rv? okay, everybody, look at the rv and smile. this is what you want for your family portrait? good point. we bundled the boat with our home and auto first. -hey, team, get on in here. -team? oh. fun. now everyone say "24/7 financial protection with progressive"!

house run official. now formally challenging his old boss. the former vice president not holding back during his campaign rally in iowa saying that he was proud to stand by president trump during their term, but not on january 6th. listen. >> on that fateful day, president trump's words were reckless. they endangered my family and everyone at the capitol. the american people deserve to know that on that day president trump also demanded that i choose between him and the constitution. now voters will be faced with the same choice. i chose the constitution, and i always. [ cheers and applause ] >> raucous applause for pence's line. during his speech he also accused trump of being soft on abortion and the war in ukraine.

he also took a shot at florida governor ron desantis without naming him for calling the russian invasion a, quote, territorial dispute. let's take you now live to ways, with cnn's kyung lah who's there for us after pence wrapped up his speech. when we checked in earlier, you said that there were some trump supporters in the crowd. i'm wondering how they responded to some of the former vice president's attacks. >> reporter: look, it's early in this process. and what iowans like to do especially in this caucus system is meet these candidates directly. so what i can tell you is that at least here in this room, when those attacks against his former boss were unleashed, it wasn't his biggest applause line, but there also weren't any boos. a reminder that this is his kickoff campaign. this is a pro-pence crowd. this is generally supportive. so not the biggest applause, but certainly no booing at all as he continued on. but it is the sharpest and the

strongest and the most forceful we've seen pence come out against trump, especially on january 6th. he played some -- you played some of that sound. i want you to listen to what he thinks that adds up to whether or not trump is essentially fit for office. take a listen. >> i believe that anyone who puts themselves over the constitution should never be president of the united states. and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the constitution should never be president of the united states again. >> reporter: important thing to note there is after he made those comments, he did do an interview on fox shortly after that where he did say he did -- he will sign the rnc pledge to support the republican nominee. so that's something else to remember as we go further along in this process. it is the hard part, though, absolutely, boris, trying to

sell that message, walk that tightrope, be the good republican but also attack trump. boris? >> and also at one point describing in detail article two of the constitution, not something i expected to hear from a presidential candidate on the stump. kyung lah for us in iowa. thank you so much. what was supposed to be a day of celebration turned into a day of killing and chaos outside of a richmond, virginia, theater where hundreds of high school centers had just graduated. police say a gunman opened fire in a park across from where the ceremony took place. and one of the graduates, sean jackson, and his stepfather, renzo smith, were killed. five others were also wounded by the gunfire. and a 9-year-old girl was struck by a car while trying to escape the mayhem. police apprehended and charged a 19-year-old man with second-degree murder. richmond public schools superintendent moments after the gunfire still wearing his graduation robe made this desperate personal plea to the

public -- >> tired of seeing people get shot, our kids get shot, and i beg of the entire community to stop, to just stop. our kids can't take it. teachers can't take it. can't take it anymore. i beg of you, stop. >> superintendent jason camris is joining us now. sir, we're so sorry for what your community is dealing with in the aftermath of this, what was supposed to be a fun day to celebrate the success of your students. i know you said that you can't forget the image of one of the victims, the 18-year-old, sean jackson, on the ground receiving cpr just 20 minutes after you shook his hand as he graduated. can you tell us about what happened and walk us through how you felt after this?

>> yes. well, thank you for having me. we had just finished up our graduation at the high school. we do this at the theater in the center of the city. and all the students had exited the venue. as they exit we cheer them on, the school board, teachers, myself, and the last kids had exited, and then the teachers and staff exit. as that was happening, we suddenly heard gunshots ring out, what felt like dozens of shots. in fact, we thought it might have been fireworks initially. and then everybody started running, and it was absolute mayhem and chaos. >> what are you hearing from students in the aftermath of this? >> well, obviously they are just devastated. i mean, the friends of the victims, all the other graduates

at hughganot high school, their day of joy, celebration, turned into a nightmare, quite frankly. and now the lasting memories they will likely have of graduation is seeing their peers wounded on the street, getting cpr, shoes that were ripped off as people ran away, tassels that were left on the ground. it's just absolutely devastating. >> we see the pictures, people running in their robes. what do you say when students are talking to you about this? what is your message to them in the wake of this? >> well, first of all, our message is one of love. we love our students. our motto at public schools is to teach, lead, and serve with love. and every chance i get, i tell our kids how much we love them. and part of that is doing everything we can to protect

them. sadly this event happened after the graduation, as everybody was gathering outside in a public park. and so we will continue to work with our colleagues in the city, our community members, our families, to make sure we can do everything we possibly can to keep them safe. i say that as a father of two public school students myself. it's our first responsibility, and we will continue to do everything we can to fulfill it. >> have you spoken to elected officials? have you spoken to governor youngkin, and what do you need from them? >> i have not spoken to the governor, but look, i believe there are just far too many guns on our streets. i believe it is far too easy for kids and, frankly, for anyone to get their hands on weapons. and so i believe there need to be far greater restrictions.

but on top of that, our kids need more mental health support. our schools need more mental health support. and right now in the general assembly here in virginia, there's still $1 billion that are being debated either for tax credits or for education investment. and i will continue to fight for education investments so that we can have the counselors that we need, so that we can have the psychologists and the social workers, everything that our kids need. >> superintendent, thank you for speaking with us. we know this is a very difficult time for your school community. superintendent jason camris. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> jim? right now we continue to track the major disruption -- wildfire smoke from canada having on cities in the u.s. that includes disruptions at some major airports. we're going to have a live report coming up next on "cnn news central."

ahead of cities like new delhi in india. and right now all this coming from canadian wildfires. they're also causing flight delays. there was a ground stop earlier at laguardia. it has since been lifted. we have more from reagan national airport in d.c. pete, we've been talking about this for some time. the ground stop is up, but it sounds like they're still putting more space between planes as they take off and land, and that's causing delays. >> reporter: that's right. you know, the delays are bad because the visibility is so bad at so many airports up and down the east coast. from here at reagan national airport all the way up to boston, the faa warns. no major delays here at reagan national just yet, although the faa says it could be added to the list as the day goes on. just added to the list, philadelphia international airport. flights bound to philadelphia being delayed at their departing airport 29 minutes according to the faa.

it's especially bad in new york. just talked to a passenger on a flight from new orleans into newark. he said you could smell the smoke in the plane as the flight descended into newark. you could see that thick red smoke, he said it was almost apocalyptic. the ground stop at newark and laguardia, both of them have been lift. at newark, there -- lifted. at newark, there is a ground delay meaning flights held at the departing airport up to two hours now. at laguardia, about 45 minutes. so things are improving a little bit, although we are not out of the woods just yet. we see during days when there are major delays like this a bit of a domino effect, and so this could mean that this wildfire smoke having an impact on the east coast could have a nationwide impact on commercial air tramp. just checked flight aware, we just crossed 2,000 delays nationwide. the good news right now, though,

jim, only about 125 cancelations. doesn't pose much of a safety risk to airplanes, although that's mostly because the faa's putting in place these delay programs trying to keep the space and the conga line long as airplanes come into these really busy airports when they can't see each other eye to eye. >> well, i flew into that airport you're standing at early this morning with similar scenes out the window. planes were landing and taking off. let's hope it continues as best they can. pete at reagan national, thank you so much. donald trump starting to take some incoming fire from his former friends and now gop rivals. you heard his vice president mike pence just a short time ago here kicking off his own white house bid by declaring that trump should never be president again because of his actions after the 2020 election. yesterday it was former new jersey governor chris christie's turn. he entered the race blasting trump in very personal terms. we have jake tapper, of course, host of "the lead," with us to talk about this. you've got him coming up live in
