6:01 am
next hour, president biden leaves the whuite house and jois the picket line. the historic move coming as the self-dubbed pro-union president eyes a key 2024 endorsement. donald trump is also headed to michigan, which means he is ditching the republican debate for a second time. his republican rivals are preparing now for the big stage and the high stakes before them as fewer candidates making the cut this time around. breaking this morning, hunter biden is suing rudy giuliani saying he tried to hack his laptop and committed a total
6:02 am
annihilation of digital privacy. i'm john berman with sara sidner and indicate bolduan. "cnn central" starts now. ♪ ♪ breaking homtmoments ago th annou announcement hunter biden is suing rudy giuliani for allegations of hacking and tampering with data biden's team says was taken or stolen. the move is the latest of hunter biden going on offense as he faces new criminal charges. . >> reporter: this is the latest lawsuit that hunter biden has filed in recent weeks. he has been suing essentially over invasion of his privacy. in this case he is suing rudy
6:03 am
giuliani, rudy giuliani's companies and a man who worked with him this summer named robert costello. he is suing those two entities and men for invading his data. essentially what hunter biden lays out is he says rudy giuliani and robert costello got access to a hard drive data taken from a laptop that hunter biden won't admit is his laptop but some of the date you he says is or was his. he says rudy giuliani and robert costello proceeded to get into that laptop in a way that he alleges is against the law, at least for the purposes of this lawsuit. he says some of the reasons he has of knowing this is because robert costello at one point in a "new york" magazine story was logging into a laptop that he was saying was hunter biden's.
6:04 am
also, giuliani was talking about hunter biden's laptop and saying he had it on his podcast multiple times. so they're suing so that they can stop, that hunter biden is trying to stop the continued access that he fears of his data. one of the things he writes in this lawsuit, his lawyers write, is there is no dispute defendants have to some extent access, tampered with, manipulated, copied and damaged plaintiff's data. they're going to court against rudy giuliani, a man facing multiple lawsuits under many different counts, really buried under legal fees right now. it comes at the same time, of course, john, hunter biden is facing his own criminal investigation including charges in delaware and some ongoing republican investigations on capitol hill. >> you mentioned the legal challenges facing rudy giuliani, criminal and civil, being sued by a lot of people including in this case robert costello, the lawyer that hunter biden is suing. so hunter biden is suing both
6:05 am
but costello is also suing rudy to get paid, right? >> he is indeed, actually. that's right, rudy giuliani has a lot of lawsuits he's fighting right now, but costello represented him for sometime and says there's $1.3 million in unpaid legal fees that rudy giuliani still owes them. so they're in court, too. it is a tangle. >> it is a tangle. follow the bouncing ball or bouncing lawsuit. katelyn polantz, thank you for that. sara. we are standing by waiting for president biden to leave the white house and head to michigan next hour where he will soon join striking autoworkers on the picket line. no historian can remember a time when a sitting president has done this before. it is not only historic, it is a major 2024 test. both biden and the front-runner in the gop race, donald trump, are looking to win over working class voters with back-to-back trips to a critical swing state
6:06 am
at a very crucial time. trump's visit -- trump will visit detroit tomorrow and right now as the uaw strikes against the nation's big three auto makes, this strike is entering day 12. keep in mind after just one weekest mated losses topped $1.6 billion and we are now nearing the end of week two. first, jeremy diamond for us at the white house. jeremy, biden narrowly won michigan in 2020 and a major union endorsement could help him, could it not, with these sort of struggling economic polling we are seeing? what is the strategy here? >> yeah, there's no question about it, sarah. this is believed to be the first time a sitting president has joined a union picket line in history. the white house says that this visit is an opportunity for president biden to show his solidarity with those uaw workers and certainly an
6:07 am
opportunity for the president to display his pro-union bona fides and to put those on display. there's also no question this is an opportunity for president biden to draw a contrast with the man who is most likely at this point to become the republican nominee in 2024, and that is donald trump. the former president is expected to head to michigan tomorrow to deliver his own speech, seizing on this uaw strike, but president biden, white house officials say his visit has nothing to do with that one. nonetheless, they are taking this opportunity to draw contrast with the former president, saying that the former president, quote, talked big and delivered little according to a white house fact sheet released this morning, contrasting the policies of this president with the policies of the former president, arguing that president biden's policies have done far more to benefit unions and domestic manufacturing. now, there is also this broader question of the president stepping into this picket line, is he indeed endorsing all of
6:08 am
the union's perspectives and all of their bargaining position in these negotiations. the white house press secretary yesterday declining to get into that question, saying simply this is an opportunity for president biden to show that he stands with these union workers. the president for his part said, yes, i support, i always supported the uaw. sarah. >> thank you so much, jeremy. i want to head over now to van vanessa who is on the ground in michigan and get a sense of what things look like now and what biden will see when he lands there, what the scene will look like. >> reporter: yeah, well, you have hundreds of uaw members at picket lines across wayne county, michigan, where the president is expected to arrive in just a few short hours. today i'm actually outside a stellantis facility. this is one of the 38 new facilities that were authorized to go on strike on friday. so these folks have been out here for a couple of days.
6:09 am
ford and general motors both saying that they want to keep the attention on negotiations but stellantis out with a statement saying that president biden in first day of the strike said that he wanted to see a contract that supported the middle class. stellantis saying that is exactly what they have put on the table. i want to bring in deanna phillips. she has been with stellantis for 13 years. you heard that the president is coming to town today? >> yes. >> reporter: your reaction to that? >> i think it is great he can coming today. i think he will bring a lot of publicity and a lot of attention on stellantis, ford and gm, to help us get to a contract we deserve. >> reporter: for you, what is the most important thing you want to see in any deal that comes out of this. >> more so pension and cola. in 2010 we, of course, had no pension after bankruptcy and everything. so i would really like to see that. the cops of living is
6:10 am
tremendously high right now, so, yes, pension and cola for all of us. >> reporter: it seems like setting you up for the future. >> yes, setting us up for the future. it is for, of course, our kids and children later on that will more than likely be stepping in our footsteps and working here as well. >> reporter: potentially family members following in your footsteps? >> yes. >> reporter: thank you so much, dianna. negotiations still ongoing between the beg three and the union as president biden comes to town. there's been some movement with ford in terms of what they've put on the table, but gm and stellantis according to the union still not offering a good enough proposal that the union could accept. president biden heading here today. president trump coming to town tomorrow, but these picketers will be on the line 24/7 regardless. sarah. >> vanessa urkevich in warren, michigan. thank you for a look on the ground and thank you to jeremy diamond from the white house.
6:11 am
kate. from washington lawmakers are headed back to capitol hill with four days left until the government shuts down. with the house in paralysis the senate is looking to step in. cnn's lauren fox is tracking this back with us. lauren, what are you hearing about what is happening behind the scenes now in that -- well, now in both the house and senate? >> reporter: yeah, well, the focus right now, kate, is really in the united states senate. that is where negotiators from minority leader mitch mcconnell's office and majority leader chuck schumer's office are working frantically. they worked late into the night to try to find a path forward on a short-term spending bill that could get out of the senate quickly, get sent to the house, and then the big question, of course, becomes will house speaker kevin mccarthy put it on the floor. now, that is assuming that the
6:12 am
senate can pass something. what they're looking at right now is a 45-day bill that would keep the government open for just a couple of weeks and then give them additional time to have further negotiations on the full year's spending package. of course, there's a question. would that be enough time? these negotiations are very fluid and the timeline, of course, for this could shift, but another thing to keep in mind here is that ukraine funding, including the $24 billion in supplemental that the white house has requested could complicate the senate's effort to move this forward quickly, which is why they may not include the full amount. they may not include all of ukraine funding, if any, given the fact that senator rand paul, a conservative, has already threatened to slow walk this process in the senate if ukraine funding is a piece of it. now, democrats and republicans who support ukraine funding view it as essential. there's support for it, but there may not be the time to move this through the senate.
6:13 am
so all of this is very much in flux. these negotiations are still happening, they're still ongoing. things can always change, but watch for whether or not that ukraine funding piece is attached to this short-term spending bill as neglectors in the senate are hoping to get something over to the house very quickly. meanwhile, in the house of representatives still no agreement from republicans on a short-term solution, which means mccarthy could be in a position where he is jammed by the senate. he gets to the ceiling and he has to decide is he putting it on the floor and potentially risk losing his speakership or does he hold back and let the government shut down. that's the prospect we are facing right now. the shutdown could start midnight on saturday. kate. >> lauren, let's see what happens. thank you so much. john. with us now, deputy pentagon press secretary sabrina singh. thank you for being with us. the white house put out what they're calling a fact sheet that notes if there is a shutdown saturday night 1.3
6:14 am
million members of the military will not be paid. what would it do to readiness and morale? >> appreciate you having me on and appreciate the opportunity to talk about this because the shutdown has an impact on our service members in uniform and our civilians. we are talking about over 1 million military members that would go without pay during the time of a shutdown and our furloughed civilian employees would also not be receiving pay during this time. so that absolutely has an impact on when it comes to our national security and readiness with not enough people being in their stations or in their command posts to continue the mission. but also it has a huge impact on families. we are to remember these service members, these civilians are still members of our community that pay rent, that have mortgages to pay, child care, schools for their children. so the shutdown has real-world impacts and impacts right here at home in our communities. >> now, 2013 when there was a
6:15 am
shutdown congress passed a measure just before the actual shutdown saying that military members would still get paid even in the event of a shutdown. is that something you would support, to pass a measure, basically an exception for the military even if there is a shutdown? >> well, look, let's be clear. we shouldn't even be talking about that. what we should be talking about is a fully funded proappropriats bill that funds our military and our government. we will support any measure that supports our military readiness, but when it comes to a government shutdown it sends a message to our allies and enemies across the board. cheena, russian and iran are countries not shutting down and continuing their operations. any shutdown and impact to our military and readiness has huge, profound impacts across the globe. >> understood. but you are not ruling out supporting what would be a carve-out for military members?
6:16 am
>> right. of course we are always going to support any pay for our military families. we know these are times when, again, bills have to be met and mortgages have to be paid, child care needs to be paid for our service members who have children. so, of course, we are going to support efforts to help our service members but, again, we really shouldn't be in this position. our fiscal year comes around every single year at the same time. it is really time to get an on-time, fully funded appropriation bill to fund the government. >> it is hard to keep up with where negotiations stand at the moment, but one possibility is there would be government funding for the next 40 days. but it is possible within the temporary fix no new or not a lot of money for ukraine. what message would that send if congress passes even for 45 days new funding but nothing really for ukraine? >> look, i think republican
6:17 am
leader -- minority leader mitch mcconnell said it best. support for ukraine is not charity. support for ukraine is in our national interests. we captnnot allow russia to continue to expand and continue to wage its unprovoked war in ukraine. it has profound consequences for europe and the united states if russia succeeds. we urge congress to continue to support funding for ukraine. so far the congress has received bipartisan and bicameral support for ukraine. we believe the packages are continuing to help ukraine on the battlefield to meet its immediate needs and support ukraine for the long term. we would urge congress to continue to fund and support in our efforts to help ukraine in their fight against russia. >> i want to ask you about a report made by donald trump and
6:18 am
he was talking about mark milley who retires this week but as of now still there. trump was talking about milley's conversations with china around january 26, 2021. he said, quote, this is egregious in times gone by punishment would have been death. a war between china and the united states would have been the result of this treasonous act. what your response to him accusing an active general in the military of treason? >> look, general milley has served under several administrations. he has been an incredible person to work alongside with, to see exactly his spencerexperience b to the table when it comes to national security threats facing the country. general milley is a true patriot. we, of course, will see him
6:19 am
leaving on friday with a change of responsibility and have an incoming chairman with chairman c.q. brown coming in. we are excited for him as well, but, again, i think general milley has honorably served his country and i will leave it at that. >> sabrina singh, we appreciate you being with us this morning. thank you. kate. coming up for us, the second republican debate stage is now officially set. who will be back at it tomorrow and who will be out? plus -- i don't want people to know we lost, mark. this is embarrassing. that's what kathy hutchinson says donald trump admitted about the election in 2020. more details from cassidy hutchinson's new book is next. russia is trying to prove one of its top military commanders is still alive despite ukraine claiming he was killed in a strike on their black sea fleet. why it is so important to the fight right now. we will be right back.
6:20 am
6:21 am
6:22 am
6:23 am
6:24 am
the stage is set for the second republican primary debate. overnight the rnc released the list of the seven candidates who qualified. doug burgum, chris christie, nikki haley, vivek ramaswamy, tim scott and mike pence. all made the cut and will take the debate stage tomorrow at the reagan presidential library in california. asa hutchinson who was with them all in the first debate one month ago did not meet the party's requirements this time, falling below the polling threshold. clearly there is one notable absence, the republican front-runner from the list, donald trump, skipping the debate again. instead, he will be speaking to autoworkers in detroit. joining us is "washington post"
6:25 am
journalist. how has the debate shifted since one month ago, if at all? >> well, it looks more and more like donald trump is the runaway favorite. his poll numbers have only increased even though he did not participate in the last debate and he is running for the general. so if any of the candidates want to make a move on trump, they need to do so now because there's not much time between now and the early voting states, iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and nevada. it is clear there's not much time for these can'ts didates tt themselves apart from the pack. we have moves from candidates like nikki haley having a move and showcasing she is trying to make the move. right now all of the candidates including ron desantis who seems to be sliding in the polls are competing for second place and not competing for the top spot which is held pretty strongly by trump. >> and consistently throughout and in all polls. let me ask you about ron desantis and his campaign right
6:26 am
now. his campaign manager released a memo to donors and supporters ahead of this debate tomorrow, and in the memo his campaign manager attacks trump directly, which is interesting, and also argues this. quote, the fundamentals of this battle for the gop nomination have not changed since the last debate. ron desantis is the only candidate that can beat both joe biden and donald trump. how strong of a case can they make for that still right now? >> it is harder to make that argument today than it was a month ago, and it is harder to make it today than it was when he launched his campaign. when he was much higher in the polls, he did seem like the top alternative to donald trump. we have seen other candidates, nikki haley, tim scott, trying to make moves and even vivek ramaswamy rising in the polls and trying to present themselves as the alternative to trump. i think the campaign manager
6:27 am
deciding to take trump on in a more direct way may preface what we may see during the debate with other candidates realizing that they're running out of time to take trump on directly. because he's not in the room, he won't be able to defend himself and i think that will separate this debate from the last debate, the candidates taking on trump because he seems to be the leading candidate heading to the general election right now. >> if they continue to pitch themselves as i'm just like him but better, that means it likely will mean the same result after the first debate, which is it did not show that any of them showed themselves a threat to donald trump in terms of the primary. asa hutchinson fell short of making the stage. falling short of the polling requirement which according to the rnc was reaching at least 3% support in a variety of polls. he sold cnn last night that though he is not making the stage it does not mean the end of his campaign.
6:28 am
let me play this for you. >> i know there will be those that says that we ought to step aside, but whenever you look at the role that iowa and new hampshire plays, we will continue to compete there and measure it based on the response we get in those states. >> look, things can change, of course, but what does history tell us, presidential history tell us about how long candidates who can't make the debate stage and are polling under 3%, how long they can hold on? >> not long. we're getting very close to the time when people start voting, early votes in some of the states will be starting in a matter of months. you know, if you are not even able to make the debate stage because you are not polling very strongly, it doesn't signify a strong level of support you will have when people start voting. i do think the field is going to start whittling quickly and folks on the debate stage will be ones we are looking at when we talk about voting in the next months. >> good to see you.
6:29 am
the big debate is tomorrow. john, we need to see an example of how donald trump not showing up is going to hurt him because clearly we have not seen him. >> that's for sure. mark meadows burned so many documents on the way out of the white house his wife complained his clothes smelled like smoke. that's a new allegation by former white house aide cassidy hutchinson. in the brand-new boo
6:30 am
6:31 am
6:32 am
6:33 am
former trump white house aide
6:34 am
cassidy hutchinson. she, of course, delivered damming testimony before the house january 6th testimony. now she paints a picture that might be more damming. she quotes her former boss as saying, cass, if i get through the job and manage to keep trump out of jail i will have done a good job. after a 2020 campaign rally meadows reportedly asked her, quote, would you take a bullet for him, meaning trump. she says she tried to joke back saying, could it be the leg? meadows then responded he would do anything to get trump reelected. cnn's sara murray is with us now with some of the details in this new book. sarah. >> yeah, john. i mean it really is a picture of chaos in the trump white house, especially in the final weeks. i mean there's this whole anecdote where cassidy hutchinson is laying out how her direct boss, again, white house chief of staff mark meadows is burning tons of documents in his final weeks in the white house and even meadows' wife takes
6:35 am
notice of this. at one point she comes to meadow's chief of staff office to pack things up and tells cassidy, mark doesn't need to burn anything else, all of his suits smell like a bonfire. this is being pushed back on, saying it is an absurd mischaracterization, saying his wife was referring to how the fireplace makes everything smell smoky. she was asked about the push back meadows was putting forward about this anecdote and a number of others. take a note of what she said. >> i would encourage him to testify under oath as to woo is in the book and what i testified to under oath which is consistent with what is in the book. he can testify under oath if he has strong feelings about that. >> now, obviously cassidy hutchinson shared her version of events publicly both in front of
6:36 am
the january 6th committee. she talked to federal prosecutors. she testified before a grand jury in georgia, and now we have this book. we also know mark meadows testified earlier this year before a federal grand jury but we know little about what he said and may have said about accounts that investigators have heard from cassidy hutchinson and there's little from meadows mentioned in either of the trump indictments when it comes to classified documents or january 6th. john. >> much more on this coming, sara. thank you very much. at 4:00 p.m. eastern you can see jay tapper's interview with cassidy hutchinson on "the lead." kate, sara. >> i'll take over. new this morning, speculation and doubt over ukraine's claims that black sea fleet commander admiral victor sokolov was killed. ukraine attacked the black sea
6:37 am
fleet causing major damage and claimed they killed the admiral. >> but a video was released claiming to show him attending a meeting via video link. they're trying to clarify the new information. sources claim sokolov is among the dead and many victims have not been identified. cnn cannot confirm whether it is him in the video, when it was recorded or, for that matter, ukraine's claims. >> here with us now in new york though he is often in ukraine and in moscow is cnn's matthew chen. matthew, the fact this is the significance, whether he is alive or dead, why is it important? >> it is important because he is the commander of the most powerful part of russia's navy, the black sea fleet which played a pivotal role in striking ukraine and supporting the russia invasion of ukraine. obviously he is a very high-profile target for the
6:38 am
ukrainians. back on friday we saw ukrainian military use western-provided long-range missiles to strike at the building which houses the headquarters of the black sea fleet in crimea which russia occupied in 2014, completely destroyed the building, an astonishingly symbolic strike in which the russians say one person went missing. so there's some doubt about that when you look at the pictures of the huge explosions. the ukrainian authorities came out, the intel sense services came out and said actually we killed admiral sokolov and a couple dozen other senior officials as well. that's not confirmed to us by the russians and it seems now sokolov is accurate is alive as it appears. but it does underline the fact it is not just a firing war. it is not just a shooting war. it is an information war as well and both sides are sort of taking part in that.
6:39 am
>> speaking of an information war, so many of the political opponents to putin have either been killed, have been jailed, have been silenced, one of whom is alexei navalny, one of programs the most famous political opposition leaders. he is in prison. you have even visited outside of the prison trying to get more information. now he will be in court. can you give us some sense of why he is in court and what is happening there? >> yeah, alexei navalny is by far the most high-profile opposition figure in russia today, but he's in prison and his organization, his anti-corruption organization has been silenced. its offices around the country have been closed down, many of his supporters, activists have gone into compiexile. he is in prison for 19 years, essentially what he considers a lifetime. i don't think anybody believes his appeal will be granted but
6:40 am
it is another reminder that alexei navalny is still there. he is still managing to get his message out. the authorities still regard him as a major challenge. now, i mean i think one of the more interesting questions we have come across the past few months is the idea he could be swapped. he is no longer effective really in russia and there is this idea floating around he could be part of a broader prisoner swap with the americans being held in russian jails, evan gerskovich. >> evan is one of those people in a russian prison, six months he has been in prison in russia,
6:41 am
a wall an american journalist. >> i wasn't allowed to go in, but i went in and said, evan, is everything all right? >> you spoke with him? >> they didn't like me speaking to him, they didn't like filming of the court. they wanted you to go in and point the camera at him and walk out again. it is difficult to do that. he is a colleague, it is an odd thing to go in and expect me to point a camera at a person in a cage and walk away. i didn't do that. they kicked me out very quickly. again, it shows how secure and sensitive they are, to kind of revealing what is going on behind the curtain in the russian system. >> even seeing a reporter like that who, look, he was doing his job in that glass cage, it is striking to see that there, it is chilling. we are happy you are here and
6:42 am
safe, matthew chance. >> good to see you, matthew. mayor of el paso, texas, says his city has hit its breaking point. thousands of might go rapts are surging into the city once again. a third wave that nonprofit groups saw coming. what are they doing now that the wave seems to be crashing? we'll take you there.
6:43 am
6:44 am
6:45 am
6:46 am
el paso is describing the strain the recent increase in migrants is causing as they continue to see thousands of people crossing the border into that city each and every day. >> the team here in el paso has
6:47 am
done an incredible job, the city, the county. we all work together to make sure that we provide a bed and a warm meal for everyone, and it -- but we are at a breaking point. we are running out of hotels, we are running out of space. and when i talked to chief owens from the border patrol he told us to prepare for about 2,000 crossings a day. >> you heard him there telling cnn they're at a breaking point. the mayor also said the city purchased a former middle school to use as an emergency migrant shelter to help people get off the streets and give them the resources they need. joining me now is dylan corbitt, the founding executive director of hope border institute, a nonprofit that works to help migrants between ciudad juarez and el paso. thank you for joining me this morning. we are looking at some of the pictures from eagle pass in texas and the rio grande there, and people just lining up frankly at border walls. dylan, you are seeing this surge a lot of people are talking about. you just heard the mayor there saying, look, we are at a
6:48 am
breaking point at this point, we are in a crisis. what are you seeing? >> yeah, good morning. it is true. the numbers right now are high. they're certainly nothing to sneeze at. here in el paso the community is mobilizing. we are doing what we can to meet the needs of the moment, and there are going to be days that will be tricky. there will be days that are difficult, where you don't know if you are going to be able to find a bed for everyone or a meal for every family. but i can tell you that, you know, by the grace of god we're usually able to get it done. you do have cities and you do have counties here in the border that are making emergency declarations but there's usually a very pragmatic, a very practical reason for that. in places like el paso it allows our local communities to access more resources, to open up more shelter spaces, to provide more transportation options when we have to process people more quickly when the numbers go up. so the situation is urgent.
6:49 am
the numbers are real, but i can say that here, here at the border in our border community here in el paso, the city and the county are doing great work to process people humanely. churches, ngos, you know, they're doing what they do best, which is to provide people a warm welcome, a hot meal, a place to sleep until folks are ready to move on. so despite the challenges, right now we're all trying to row in the same direction and we're trying to make this work. >> there was a lot of concern as title 42 ended that we would see this huge surge. we didn't. now suddenly it is back again with really high numbers. we were hearing from our reporter, rosa flores, who has visited the border and been on the border many, many times that a couple of things are happening, that smugglers are starting rumors again to get people to go and pay their way to go to the border and video being sent to friends and family from those who made it over the border showing that they are safe has also helped to increase people's desire and hope that
6:50 am
they're going to get over the border. i'm sewerous what you think the reason is for this latest major surge. >> yeah, i want to make sure we don't lose sight of the human dimension of all of this. the reason you said is certainly true, but let's remember these are human beings. a lot are coming from venezuela. you know, there's a global crisis right now in venezuela. after ukraine it is probably the largest migration crisis in the world right now. over the last ten years 7 million people have fled that country and these are just human beings who want to be part of our community, you know, because we are the united states of america. here there's still opportunity, there's still safety, there's still a chance to raise your family with dignity, there's still a chance to get a decent wage for a good day's work. we've got a complicated patchwork of policies here at the border and you can't always control the numbers or the flow, but in some ways it is true,
6:51 am
what we are seeing at the border is a situation of our own and remember that we are still making people wait for the governor abbott to create the most militarized border with razor wire and national guard and buoys in the river, and those are hindering people to kroz cross and especially in large groups. >> and it is interesting that you mentioned the people of vene venezuelan, and they are a part of the big part of the surge, and thank you, dylan corbett for letting us now what we need to know is happening near your border town. and returning to maui, and
6:52 am
people returning to what is left of their homes for the first time.
6:53 am
6:54 am
6:55 am
this morning as the
6:56 am
residents of lahaina were allowed back on the island of maui since the devastating fires. >> we had a home with a yard, a neighborhood, and it is not poss possible. >> you know it is going to break our family apart. >> i can't believe it is gone. it's heartbreaking, you know. all of our memories were here. >> you can see the people wearing protective gear, because of toxic ash. the governor says it might take three months for everybody to get back to see what is left, and nearly 16,000 people in the state have registered with fema for federal assistance. kate? >> also on the radar this hour, the call for senator bob menendez to resign are growing, and now a fifth democratic senator is saying that the new
6:57 am
