lyric, so disappointed. >> wow, that was shade. >> this video shows a live bull riding shot begun in norfolk wednesday. this was no pick up truck, this is a sedan. that is a tough car. surprisingly the bull fit in there, i don't know how that's possible. police did pull the driver over, he was given a warning and told, take that animal back home, sir. this is the end. sorry. also shout out to jeff zeleny, our nebraska resident. i love that story, it's not a stuffed animal, it's amazing. i love it but we're going to toss it to cnn "news central" because they have a lot of news. see you tomorrow. >> see you. ♪

it was the strongest storm to hit florida's big bend region in 125 years. now, tropical storm idalia is moving offshore leaving a path of destruction and massive flooding across the southeast. we'll have the latest on the devastation and cleanup still to come. another health scare for senator mitch mcconnell for the second time in two months the 81-year-old senate minority leader froze and appeared unable to speak while taking questions from reporters. the situation is sparking more questions about the top republican. and a tragic scene in south africa, 73 dead dozens more injured after a fire burns through a building full of families overnight. now rescue and recovery efforts are under way. i'm boris sanchez with rahel solomon in for kate, sarah and john. this is cnn "news central."

this morning the road to recovery. after a once in a century hurricane, florida now beginning its first full day of cleanup as idalia now a tropical storm heads offshore. it's still packing strong winds and the threat for deadly flooding and tornados lingers. and caught on camera outside of charleston, watch this. the terrifying moment the wind picks up, lifts a car off the road and sends it flying. we're also now seeing the scope of the devastation where idalia first struck florida . these images before and after showing the change as towns in the big bend region lie in ruins. between 4 to 6,000 homes in pasco county alone are inundated with water. elsewhere, trees falling on

homes. and thankfully for this family near tallahassee no one was there at the time. >> this trailer been sitting here ever since like '96. and it hurt because i raised my kids up in this trailer. so i don't know. but the good thing about it, i'm glad it wasn't nobody in here when it happened. >> we begin this hour with carlos suarez with more on idalia's furry. >> the eye of the storm ripped through florida's big bend region with winds of 125 miles per hour. resulting in a once-in-a-century weather event. >> it was bad. it was heavy, heavy winds. worst i've ever been in. >> reporter: the category three storm left homes demolished and streets flooded. >> we have significant damage

throughout the big bend region. >> reporter: this family in perry, florida watched as trees fell directly on their home. >> oh my gosh. no! it's okay. it's okay. >> reporter: up and down florida's west coast, record breaking storm surge occurred. crystal county left devastated by floodwaters. >> we are the entire city of crystal river is in a flood zone. >> reporter: further south in hudson beach, crews rescued residents by boat as floodwaters came rushing into their homes. >> i've never seen anything like it. >> reporter: this family rescued but heart broken to leave everything behind. >> it came out so quick. we're trying to get in the truck and we're barely able to get the doors open. >> reporter: in pasco county around 150 residents rescued

from flooded neighborhoods. this home caught fire. michael said he stayed behind to weather the storm. >> these are all old school florida villas. and they were picked up and carried into the gulf. that was heartbreaking to see. >> reporter: one resident on anna maria island posted this video of her swimming through floodwaters at 4:00 in the morning. >> golf carts, cars were flooded. it was up to our knees, waist, we were riding bikes through it, it got hi. >> reporter: idalia then traveled to south carolina. where the storm surge got to 9 feet. this car in goose creek, south carolina flipped over in the middle of the road. >> thanks to cars are for that report. let's pivot to ivan rodriguez now because he has

m more. >> reporter: we're in downtown crystal river seeing some of the damage here for the first time for hours if not more than a day this was impassable in this part of town. you can see where the water level was. you can see the difference in the color of the brick, water level below my hip. there's still water inside this business that was vacant already but seeing what it's going to look like when that process continues in terms of rebuilding. as we continue to walk down the sidewalk in downtown. you see more of the damage in terms of water. seeing sandbags placed down in front of some of these businesses on the ground as well. businesses that were boarded up. in terms of the recovery, we're seeing a lot of the rebuilding process taking place as we speak. we've seen a lot of city crews out and about clearing debris from the sides. making sure that the roads are accessible. right here where you're seeing the roads closed off by law

enforcement officials, they're making sure only those city crews can get in so that the recovery efforts at least to clear the roadways can be a lot faster. we're also going to be seeing, throughout the day, a lot more business owners come back and check in on their own damage. i was able to speak with one couple who owns a business right down the street behind me. they own a manatee tour company and they tell me they get a lot of their business, half a million people come here to crystal river partly because of the manatee they tell me they were able to evacuate two days prior to this hurricane making landfall. they had a u-haul packed up their belongings and gear from that store, took it to higher gr ground. now they're coming back finding 18 inches of water was inside their store. they're going to try to clean it up today.

bringing crews in. trying to get it set for tomorrow because in normal times they would be thinking of the business coming for labor day. in terms of rescue we saw so many rescues and a big focus on that late afternoon yesterday. we witnessed three alone by fire rescue boats in citrus county. in total in citrus county we saw 76 rescues take place. pasco county also hard hit by the hurricane we saw 150 residents have to be rescued there as well. so as we're continuing the conversation, rebuilding is top of mind, bringing back power to so many residents across florida remains top attention for officials. here we're hearing from city leaders, the city manager saying across the street at city hall they actually got 8 feet of storm surge there as well. record water levels for this community. that city manager saying city

hall is gone. so rebuilding will take its time some will get to the point to reopen sooner than others. i'm ivan rodriguez. >> thank you. joining us is allison chinchar. we've been watching idalia's path of destruction there. the devastating trail of damage and also setting new records but it's not over yet. where is idalia headed? where is it now? >> it is heading out over the open atlantic where we want it away from the u.s. it's not done yet. sustained winds are still 60 miles per hour moving to the east, northeast at 20 miles per hour. but we have rain showers lingering across both portions of virginia as well as north carolina and you have had heavy bands off and on throughout the morning. several flash flood warnings still in effect along the outer banks and farther inland. the main reason is how much rain has fallen in the last 24 hours. you're looking at widespread

totals, 4 to 6 inches but there have been numerous places, particularly here along the north and south carolina border where we picked up eight, nine inches of rain. south carolina, florida, georgia picking up those totals. in north carolina picking up half a foot but that's likely to go up because we're still looking at the rain showers. they continue this morning but also into the afternoon before the system itself pushes back out over the water. from there the han concern is rip currents and high surf. short term looking at the potential for an additional one to two inches of rain on top of what we've already had. i know one to two inches doesn't sound like much but when you have 6 on the ground already it accum accumulates. from there the system is going to make its way towards the east. it is expected to maintain tropical storm strength as it goes back out over open water.

the concern is where it goes after saturday because the forecast is calling for it to make a turn back to the north potentially right over bermuda. so that area of interest is going to keep a close eye on this in the coming days because if it does you're likely to have tropical storm wind gusts and potential for flooding with these. power outages could still be a concern so certainly something we have to keep a close eye on for the next couple of days. >> it's not over yet. thank you. this morning, there are new questions about senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, his health and his political future after he appeared to freeze during a news conference again. it happened yesterday in kentucky after he was asked if he planned to run for re-election in three years. watch this. >> running for re-election in 2026?

>> did you hear the question, senator? running for re-election in 2026? all right, i'm sorry, y'all, we're going to need a minute. >> okay. >> the 81-year-old senator experienced something similar last month while speaking at the capitol. now his office is attributing both of these incidents to light headedness. let's discuss with melanie who joins us from washington and also with us, dr. sanjay gupta. melanie, what is mcconnell's office saying about these incidents and health? >> reporter: it is clear that mcconnell's team recognizes that this is a growing political problem for the long-time gop

leader. in fact, mcconnell has been working behind the scenes to tamp down speculation about his health and political future. we're told that yesterday after this freezing episode he spent time calling allies, reassuring them about his fitness to serve. he also made it a point to carry on with his schedule last night. and people who were with him yesterday have come out and said mcconnell was totally fine and as sharp as ever. let's listen to what scott jennings, a long-time mcconnell confidant told our colleagues on cnn this morning. >> he came back home to louisville, i was with him with jim banks, who's running for senate in indiana. he met with a group, answered questions, worked the crowd and was on top of it, sharp, and fully in command of, you know, all the politics and issues of the day. i should also tell you i was with him two days ago and

watched him give a long speech to a lunch crowd and then answer several questions from that crowd. and in the midst of another long day. so throughout the month of august he has kept up a pretty robust schedule. >> reporter: that is obviously very encouraging to hear but statement we don't know what's causing the freezing episodes. all his office has said in both of these freezing episodes he felt light headed and was totally fine afterwards. because of that speculation continues to grow and mount about his health and political future. i think one of the big questions going forward is whether mitch mcconnell will continue to be the gop leader in the years ahead. so far he said he's planning to serve out the rest of his term as gop leader which lasts until next year. and republicans said they would support him in that role. >> notably a lot of republican senators hesitating to question

the senator's political future after these episodes. what goes through your mind, sanjay after watching this? >> it's hard to watch, no question. i feel for him, certainly. these are freezing episodes. that is the best term to sort of describe it. and when you look at him, the freezing is of his speech. we see him stop talking but also his body posture, his body seems frozen in place, his hands are clutching the side of the lectern, he develops a sort of masked face, no expression for a period of time. there's a long list of things which could potentially be associated with that. a mini seizure of some sort, a precursor to a stroke, something known as a tia. there could be a -- a medication interaction or coming off a medication such as a medication to treat parkinson's for example, when it starts to wear

off sometimes you can get freezing episodes and we don't know. they haven't told us. one thing i did note. when his aides came to talk to him during this freezing episode, they didn't seem particularly alarmed by it, which gives you the sense they deal with it at other times they know what's going on, he's been evaluated, they're just not telling us. but there wasn't the urgency you'd expect. if i saw that as a patient i'd say that person needs to be evaluated to understand what is happening and make sure it doesn't continue to happen. >> one aid stressed it was an issue of hearing she told reporters to speak up as they were asking questions. these two freezing episodes, though, sanjay, part of the last few difficult months it's been eight months where senator mcconnell has had a series of health issues. >> he has. going back to even 2019 he had a

significant fall where he dislocated, fractured his shoulder. a history of polio as a child that's why he has difficulty walking. but you're right, the past year, there's been significant health episodes including in march when he fell, got a concussion, broke ribs. those difficulties with hearing that's been ongoing for some time. but the two episodes, in july and now of essentially freezing. very noticeably freezing for at least around 30 seconds or so. so again we don't know what's causing this, if all these various things are related somehow. but i hope he's getting evaluated. i hope someone is actually checking him out, looking at what's happening in his brain to make sure they can do something about it if need be. >> we hope the senator is okay. dr. sanjay gupta, melanie zanona thank you so much. appreciate it. and mcconnell's recent health scares are calling into

question whether his age makes him unfit for office. there are currently 19 lawmakers in congress who are at least 80 years old. dianne feinstein recently turned 90 and her health problems have caused her to miss dozens of votes this year. it's not just congress. president biden is 80 and would be 86 years old at the end of his presidency if he's reelected for a second term. donald trump is 77. polls show most americans favor an age limits and few presamericane looking for a president that's 70 or older. a poll shows that most americans think there should be an age limit. and about half of americans found their ideal president would be in their 50s. that hasn't happened since bush and obama were in office. age is not always the top

priority for americans when voting, we should add. bo boris? still to come, rudy giuliani losing a lawsuit tied to the 2020 election. details on the consequences he may face next. plus the alabama attorney general escalating the battle over abortion rights. why he says he should be able to prosecute people who help women in his state travel elsewhere for an abortion. stay with us we're back in a few moments.

date for october 23rd. no date is set for powell yet. let's bring in katelyn polantz. what do we know about the why they want to separate their cases from the rest? >> reporter: there are 19 defendants in this case. that means that it can get messy. and the allegations so far in fulton county, they're sprawling. this racketeering charge that both of these people are charged under alongside donald trump so sidney powell and ken chesebro are saying we want to go to trial separately, quickly because we don't think we can get a fair trial if you lump us together. ken chesebro chesebro were powerp -- was pointing out only some of the things he was privy too.

sidney powell goes further said she has no idea what the allegations were going on after the election she wasn't in touch with people, never had a formal arrangement to be representing the campaign even though she was holding herself out there and trump was holding her out there as a lawyer representing him. so they're trying to get split out. the da wants to keep the case together, keep all 19 defendants together and go to trial quickly. trump has not wanted to go to trial quickly in any of the cases he faces. so how this shakes out and if this case gets split up between different defendants, people get separated out, things get moved around, that is a big question going forward and it is going to be a long road to trial. >> absolutely. if it has any implications on the other defendants in this case. while i have you, rudy giuliani has been found liable by a federal judge in this defamation suit brought by the two georgia

election workers. what's the latest here? >> reporter: this is a lawsuit that giuliani has essentially lost and now he has to go to trial to determine how much he's going to have to pay. both to make these two georgia election workers whole, and also how much he will have to pay in punitive damages, aka punishment for what he said. so this is a defamation case where he essentially conceded that he made false statements about these women and they are saying that he inflicted severe emotional distress upon them. a judge did rule in their favor and against him because he didn't show up for fighting the lawsuit in any way he should have. so that will create severe consequences the judge made that explicit for rudy giuliani in a 57-page opinion yesterday. and it does set up the trial where ruby freeman and shay

moss' attorney is already saying on cnn that he is going to be seeking tens of millions of dollars in payment from rudy giuliani to these two women just in this case. and, of course, that's not the only legal issue that rudy giuliani is facing at this time. either as a lawsuit or in the criminal sphere. rahel? >> at least civilly this moves to the next phase where a judge will decide what the damages look like. katelyn polantz, thank you. let's dig further with a legal expert. joining us is shan wu. great to see you. let's start with sidney powell and kenny chesebro trying to separate their cases from the other defendants. how does this give them a legal advantage? nobody likes to be sitting at a table with other people looking like you're part of the criminal

conspiracy gang so you wouldn't want to be joined that way. so they are going to move to sever. looking at the arguments for severance there's good and bad. the good part is they smartly asked for a speedy trial. hard for the judge to turn that down and that provides a path to separate themselves from the rest of the group. the bad part is from the arguments they're making, it sounds like they're arguing factual innocence. that's not a reason to get out. i'm innocent but these guys look guilty so i shouldn't be tried with them. that's not going to fly. you have to show something substantive for example your defense may implicate others, meaning someone might testify against you or you testify against them but because you have a right not to testify, whoever is being suspected to that incriminating testimony said i can't cross-examine them,

no fair they're going to take the stand against me. you have to find something more s substantive than they did something bad not me. >> if it succeeds it has the potential to complicate fani willis' case, right? >> yes. it'll slow it down, splinter it, different people will go at different times. i'm sure she expected with this many defendants they would try to do this. but the biggest issue as they splinter out, if they're successful, it allows the defense to preview, basically, the government's case. they'll see someone go first, they'll get to see the strengths and weaknesses and they can taylor their defense to that. which i'm sure is what trump's people are trying to do, let other people go first to test the waters. >> let's talk about rudy giuliani found liable for lying about the two georgia election workers, their attorney telling

kaitlan collins on cnn they'll seek tens of millions of dollars in damages. is that realistic, especially given the reporting that giuliani is running out of cash. >> whether he's running out of cash won't necessarily affect what damages get awarded against him. it could practically affect if they'll collect on that or not. it's hard to calculate what giuliani's team was thinking of. he made that odd nola motion, meaning he wasn't contesting the fact he told falsehoods yet at the same time he was trying to pull back saying he had the first amendment right to make the falsehoods. so the calculation goes to two things, first out of pocket damages, the real reputation was being hard, they suffered problems, security maybe even emotional distress that requires counselling. and then there's the aspect of punitive damages. that's where the heavy hit could come for giuliani meant to deter

his bad conduct. the problem at the moment is he's not arguing it was an honest mistake or anything like that. saying he had a right -- he's admitting he lied and saying i had a right to lie. so i think the damages could be bad for him. >> staying in fulton county, there is this motion by mark meadows to try to get his charges moved from state court to federal court. i was wondering, could it be possible that a judge decides that some of the charges could move to federal court but some of them stay in the state court? that could get very messy very quickly, right? . >> >>ing. >> right. i don't think that would happen. the basis for him getting it moved is that these charges affect conduct i did within my job description. i was a federal official states can't prosecute federal officials from doing their job. that's the constrrux for remova.

he wouldn't want to say some of the things i did were outside the scope of my job therefore try me on them, but some were. he's not going to want to break it up that way. there is a complication, which is that the judge has asked the question, if some of the -- what they call overt acts might have been within his job description and would that affect the removal question? that's an intriguing question it's complicated and i don't know what the answer is to that but the judge asked for further briefing on that. >> we appreciate you walking us through the complicated matters. the arraignment is september 6th we expect an whether mark meadows is get it out of state court soon. thank you. after the break we'll go to johannesberg with a tragic scene unfolding this morning after a fire ripped through a building killing dozens of people. up next we'll hear from a man

welcome back. and now to south africa where a raging fire ripped through a building overnight killing dozens of people. right now the death toll stands at 73, but we know at least 50 other people are hurt. it happened in the central johannesberg region at a building that housed hundreds of informal settlements. the fire is out but now comes the task of searching the building for more victims who may still be inside. let's go to david mckenzie on the scene in johannesberg. how are recovery efforts going? if. >> reporter: rahel, the recovery efforts are going. it is a very tragic moment in

south africa. in the early hours of the morning if you look at the video of a fire ripped through the building that was jam packed with mostly migrants from other parts of africa. the fire developed very, very fast. there have been firemen on the scene trying to save people in the early hours and then recover bodies. bodies on the streets in bags trying to identify them. many are still missing. i spoke to a survivor who did everything he could to get out. >> they make noise, fire, fire, fire. i'm wake up. i see the fire. after that, i come back to my room. then i broke the window. when i broke the window, the

smoke was coming for me, yeah. after that, i just fall down. then from there, i don't know anything until now. >> reporter: he blacked out, came to several hours later with his friends, still missing three family members, rahel. if you look at the situation, it is quite bizarre. this building was hijacked, meaning a group of gangsters took it over from the landlord and then started leasing out the rooms to the migrants. still unclear what the cause of the inferno was. one of the ways in and out was locked, which raises disturbing questions but we know there are questions like this across johannesberg speaking to the economic divide in this country. and the desperation people have to find a place to live when there's no housing they can afford.

fingers are being pointed as to how this could actually happen. i'm sure there will be an investigation but even now firefighters are walking around the scene making sure the fire is out and they're protecting the building from potentially people trying to get their belongings back overnight. this incident, i have to say, and the massive death toll has shocked this nation. rahel, boris. >> still so many questions as you lay out there, david but a tragic scene unfolding. david, thank you. boris? so in just a few minutes, new york's mayor is holding a rally to ask for more federal help as the city tries to care for tens of thousands of migrants. the one thing he says could make a huge difference amid the influx. stay with us.

just a few minutes from now, new york city's mayor is going to hold a rally pushing the federal government to step up amid a surge in migrants. eric adams and other officials want work authorizations for asylum seekers. 107,000 migrants have passed through the city since the spring of 2022 and there are more than 59,000 still in its care. let's take you to the rally location with polo sandoval. the rally set to kick off at the top of the hour. why is eric adams focused on work authorizations for these migrants? >> reporter: it's an issue of utmost important not just mayor adams but also governor hochul who time and time again made clear their main strategy to this, to bring relief amid the

crisis, which is the sooner that some of these asylum seekers can work in the united states, the sooner they have a source of steady wages that can allow them to pay their way out of shelters and into long term housing. you mentioned the number, nearly 60,000 -- well over 100,000 asylum seekers are in the city's care, and that's straining the resources. so we'll hear mayor adams repeating the call. the location of the rally alone is noteworthy, just across the street from the federal building that typically processes many of the asylum applications. so a source telling me this is intentional. they hope to bring the message directly to the federal government to amplify what they're saying. aside from politicians i have heard from asylum seekers as myself and colleagues have been covering this the last 18

months, work authorization -- keeping those asylum seekers from supporting themselves. so you hear over and over again from officials at the local and state level this would bring an incredible amount of relief. we should mention what we heard from the federal government as early as this week. the head of homeland security responding to that call about work authorizations and to a certain extent recognizing this is an issue that could potentially help but doing the best they can. nonetheless, the secretary recognizing they will likely do more in terms of increasing man power at the federal level to try to expedite those resources. i'll leave you with this. i've been in touch with one particular asylum seeker in this case he just now had the opportunity to petition for asylum and he's waiting for the

authorization that's kept him waiting for well over a month. >> a chale l challenging proces doubt. alabama already has one of the strictest abortion laws in the country now the state's attorney general said he should have the right to prosecute anyone who helps a woman leave the state to get the procedure. we'll be right back. using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming intellicoils®, for a beautiful mattress, and indescribable comfort... every single night. stearns & foster® ... what comfort should be during our labor day sale, bring home incredible comfort with savings up to $800 on select adjustable mattress sets. learn more at stearnsandfoster.com with new scope squeez mouthwash concentrate, just add water. squeez to control the strength of your mouthwash. and find a zone all your own.

welcome back. and on the radar this morning, the numbers are out to show that despite elevated numbers, the consumers are continuing to spend. and the fed shows that prices increasing 3.3 on the annual basis, and annually 0.2%, and the first time the jobless claims ticked down to 228,000 which is according to the latest weekly report from labor department. the mayor of uvalde, texas, is call for the district attorney christine mitchell to resign. and he filed a lawsuit for her repeatedly blocking the city's investigation of the robb

elementary massacre last year. he is leading the investigation, and she says that she plans to present ed by the end of the year, but the sheriff says that she refuses to share evidence with the city's investigator. classes at the university of north carolina at chapel hill are expected to resume today after monday's shooting left a faculty member dead. students mourned faculty member who was killed on campus by a graduate student. that student has been charged with first-degree murder, and he has not entered a plea and being held without bond. boris? >> the alabama republican attorney general says he has the right to prosecute anyone who has travel arrangements for seeking out of state abortions. attorney general steve marshall said that providing transportation for women to leave alabama to get the

procedure could amount to a criminal conspiracy. two groups sued marshall last month, and alabama has one to strictest abortion bans in the country. nick valencia is following all of this, and what are the lawsuit alleging? >> steven marshall the attorney general in alabama violated the right to free speech when the individuals helping the women who are helping individuals get an abortion outside of the state of alabama was guilty of a conspiracy. this is after the dobbs decision was struck down. and he made those comments after abortion rights groups and women clinics had concern saying it is difficult the give advice to pregnant women or guidance after his comments. then he doubled down over the comments on the radio saying that alabama has the right to
