jimenez with sara sidner, john berman, and kate baldwin are out today. cnn new central starts now it's quite sign this week, the race for the white house goes directly through the state that could decide it. >> all as vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump turned up the heat in their battle for the battleground states. this week, harris kicks off a bus tour in georgia while trump's swings through three key blue wall states both nominees set to make critical new pitches to voters with the next race defining moment on the 2024 calendar, the presidential debate. now, just 15 days away in all, just 71 days left until the election. cnn's priscilla alvarez is leading us off this morning with the latest reporting on team harris and personal, you're you're hearing from the campaign this morning about new demand that they have for the next debate.

what is that? >> that's right, sara, we're learning about some back-and-forth happening between the two campaigns as they sort out these rules for the abc presidential debate happening next month, out, what this includes them told is the microphones, whether or not they stay on during his weight. remember that in june the binding and camp the biden campaign had requested that the mics be turned off when the when each of the candidates was speaking, that is a little different from the way that the harris campaign is approaching this. they actually want them microphones to stay on. this is a statement that from brian fallon, the harris campaign senior adviser for communications. i'll read you part of it. it says, our understanding is that trump's handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don't think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own. they later go on to say that they don't think he can handle himself against vice president harris without the benefit of a mute button. now

the trump campaign pushback on this is that these rules had already been agreed upon when president biden was the candidate, though, i'm told that the only remaining dispute at this time is microphones, despite suggestions from the trump campaign that she also wanted notes and wanted to be seated. now, i am also told that the next few days are going to be very focused on debate preparations. we've seen the vice president on the trail a lot over the last month. she's expected to keep up the travel, but maybe at a bit of a different paces. she also puts a big focus on the preparations for this debate, knowing of course, just how critical they are, and how large of an audience tunes in when she goes toe to toe against former president donald trump and i know you have some new reporting about just how much money the harris campaign has been able to get over these last few days or weeks a record

fundraising haul that number is $540 million. >> since she launched her presidential bid after president joe biden stepped aside, what's important about these numbers is that it also shows a surge in grassroots donations. so a lot of these first first-time donors and the reason that's important, sara, is because this is going to be a focus for the campaign moving forward is i'm told there's discussions about how they can strategize capitalizing on moments and making sure that they continue to get these first-time donors, which becomes so critical to their strategizing when it comes to fundraising now the campaign to has already reserved at least $370 million for television and digital advertising between labor day and election day. so they're clearly trying to flood the market here. they have the funds to do it. and of course they'll also be hitting the trail. as i mentioned, in this week, that includes georgia a state that by the way, biden only won by less than 12,000 votes. so they're

going to kick off they being the vice president and governor royalty. this bus tour in georgia, this week, that will conclude with a rally by the vice president on thursday all right. >> priscilla alvarez. thank you so much. omar, you saw those big numbers for how much people are donating in the all important small time, first-time donors as well. >> and we're going to see if that momentum can continue. of course, on the harris side of things propelled after the dnc. but on the republican side of things try see how they can combat that. and that brings me to this because it's now all hands deck for republicans and the trump campaign sources tell us as the trump team shifts strategy to try to cut off kamala harris's momentum now obviously the democrats are on a sugar high. everybody's acknowledged that, and i think that that gets real after labor day. if you look over the history of all presidential election years, i mean, that's when people really begin to pay attention. so the rhetoric and

a little bounce they get out of the convention as always expected but i think that kamala harris is about to be put to the real test that was house speaker mike johnson there on the campaign trail this weekend and this week, trump's team is ramping up his schedule in battleground states ahead of his first debate with harris, cnn's alayna treene joins us now so i mean, look, first of all, the just tell us more about how the trump campaign is ramping up their efforts. >> let's start there okay. >> well, look, i mean, i think there's no question omar, that the trump campaign sees what is happening with the harris campaign. they have been frustrated. we've talked about this for weeks now with the surge of enthusiasm that harris has continued to enjoy, we actually saw a memo from trump's pollsters that they released on saturday saying that that kind of post harris becoming the candidate honeymoon that they had anticipated was going to extend beyond the convention, saying that some of the favorable polls that she's enjoying are expected to continue longer

than they had initially anticipated and really we are seeing the trump campaign shift their strategy because they have this new opponent that includes ramping up aggressively donald trump's schedule. remember, donald trump does not really travel as much as a typical candidate. he was really holding about two rallies a week up until recently, i'm told that is changing for the next few weeks between now and november, the next few months i should say, they are going to really ramp up that schedule. you're going to see him traveling daily many weeks, if not holding two events per day, i'm told one trump adviser told me, think trump on steroids, this is going to be an all hands on deck approach, but they're also really trying to target some of the early voting states we know early voting kicks off in north carolina in just 11 days as well as in other in other states throughout september, they're really going to be targeting their ground game strategy to kind of hit those states with that focus on who are the voters going to the polls first. and then of course, you're also seeing donald trump behind the scenes.

simultaneously, prep for that september 10 debate. so they have a lot going on now, i think to keep in mind here is that this strategy is completely different from the one that they had when president joe biden was still at the top of the democratic ticket i can tell you. i mean, after the rnc convention in july, trump's team was really measuring the drapes. they thought that they we're going to have a much easier kind of glide path to november that has been completely upended by harris. and again, the enthusiasm and the surging favorability that she is seeing that they didn't necessarily anticipate. and so a lot of these changes behind the scene directly tied to their new opponent that still trying to grapple with yeah. >> and of course, all eyes were looking at a sprint towards the september debate that at this point seems to be happening. but we're working out rules in the meantime, alayna treene really appreciate it we're also following more news this morning. hezbollah says even more strikes are possible after launching a barrage of drones clinton rockets at israel this

tensions between israel and the iranian-backed militant group, has escalated with both launching attacks at one another over the weekend. but the two sides appear to have avoided escalating their conflict to a wider war. for now, israel says it carried out preemptive strikes in lebanon, but hezbollah says it will still able to fire 320 rockets and drones at israel. even though most were intercepted, cnn international, diplomatic editor nic robertson is live for us in tel aviv with the latest nic there is a sense that both israel and hezbollah want to avoid escalation. and yet yet, here you're seeing this back-and-forth yeah, look, it's fairly clear hezbollah's leader, hassan nasrallah's speech yesterday tried to claim a victory saying that that military targets and their attacks were meticulously completed he did having claimed that they were striking 11 different israeli military sites in the north. >> and targets in the center of

israel. the idf pushed pushback no military targets hit. they said, no evidence seen that any hezbollah or weapon system he's got through to central israel whatsoever. and i think the perception here is certainly that hezbollah failed to land a punch and therefore, this is something that reflects badly on hezbollah how much that perception is understood in lebanon is unclear, but that's certainly will be people who realize has blood did not actually manage to inflict any damage that israel will accept. and that's, that means they fell short of their original aim. so i think that again, also told you that they probably won't try to escalate because to escalate could mean an even bigger escalation from israel and also israel struck targets in the south of lebanon, preemptively and didn't go after targets that might have been more sensitive in the north of lebanon so all of that tells you that both sides are sort of stepping back from this at the moment. but it

seems very clear from here, at least that has bullet failed to do what they wanted to do. and that's going to reflect very badly on them. but home eventually, where does this put the ceasefire talks amid all of this the fact that they managed to continue sunday despite hi the fact that the strikes happened early in the morning sunday is indicative of the fact that there is some momentum that these technical level talks that are going on in the background managed to bring the leaders together for a limited period over the weekend it does seem to be positive that said hamas left yesterday, left the torch yesterday, saying what they've said all along that they won't agree to what's on the table right now because it doesn't meet their bent benchmarks are complete ceasefire, all israeli troops out of gaza, despite the positive words that we'd heard that israel was was reducing the number of troops that it

was prepared to have along the gaza. >> egypt border. despite all of that, hamas's position remains unchanged, but i, but i think what you have to say here about the talk says they are shrouded in a very high degree of secrecy. we've heard from the hamas spokesman, but does this really reflect? what's happening behind closed doors? it's very hard to tell. however, the talks as we understand, both in doha and in egypt at a technical level, are continuing yeah, we're looking at the pictures of khan younis and the suffering of the palestinian people. >> and then those who are suffering as hostages there. so many people wanting this to end as soon as possible. nic robertson. thank you so much. alright. still ahead. a deadly landslide plowing through a neighborhood. now evacuations are underway in alaska. the big concern this morning and all hands-on deck, how donald trump's strategy will be on quote steroids as the republicans look to shift the momentum of head of the highly anticipated presidential

derek, can you tell us what is happening there in alaska well, first and foremost, the ketchup can range the mountain range that lines this part of the alaskan peninsula received between eight to nine inches of rain at about a 30 hour period the airport actually were clocking in about two-and-a-half inches of rain, but there's a lot of factors that have to come together for a landslide or mudslide to occur? >> want you to take note of this picture of the actual landslide, the debris field at the bottom, the houses that are extremely vulnerable and the topography or the mountain ranges in the background. so this is the area that is most vulnerable to build our homes on. right? >> and just so you know, mudslides and landslides can occur in all 50 u.s. states. but the steepest slopes or where the most vulnerable and the most likely locations for these to occur, they can travel 20 miles per hour even faster than that. so faster than the human can run or outrun something like this. and unfortunately, there are

average between 25 50 fatalities per year on account of these landslides. so what happens? well, basically, the mountainous terrain has this heavy rainfall that soaks into the soil. remember, we talked about 8:00 to nine inches, but eventually it's soaks into the ground gravity takes over and the slope fails. they cannot hold the slope of the weight when you combine the the rocks, the mud, and of course the water as well, the result was this front that moved through that brought the heavy rainfall to catch a can and the peninsula here and there's still an additional tenth to about a quarter of an inch of rain possible through the course of the day today, in ketchikan, omar and i want to get your perspective, but reporting also on another weather system, i guess it we're following is tropical storm hone as well. >> what is the latest there? >> well, the good news for hawaii is that tropical storm. oh-nay, has been downgraded from a hurricane, is moving away from the hawaiian islands,

but it's left, it's destruction in its path. the flooding was the big problem. you can see the rapid rises in rivers some of the parking lots turned into waterways, but this is the latest tropical storm hone 70 mile per hour winds you can see the big island. there's maui, and it is moving to the west. we had a flash flood warning for the big island this morning through about 6:00 a.m. eastern standard, but that has since been lifted. there's the current radar still just scattered showers and of course, we could still some of that have some of that residual moisture filtering down through the valleys and into the mountain sides in these slopes below. but this was a windy event for the system as it moves away from the hawaiian islands, will say goodbye to honig, but then we have to focus our attention on what's developing over the eastern pacific ocean. we've got hurricane gilma and hector as well. so to that could impact the hawaiian islands later this week. >> well, from hawaii to alaska, derek van dam really appreciate all of what you've brought, sir.

the things i did were personal limit of what pro wrestling can be we wednesday night dynamite aid on tbs all hands on deck and trump on steroids. those are quotes from president trump's campaign, as they say they're preparing to aggressively ramp up the president's schedule, focused on honing his debate skills and cultivate a new ground game strategy, starting this week joining us now cnn senior political commentator scott jennings and democratic strategist, matt bennett. thank you, gentlemen for coming in. i'm going to start with you, scott. you heard those words trump on steroids. all hands on deck. what does that mean? what is trump on steroids mean? >> well, it sounds like it means he's going to be pretty aggressive on his campaign travel schedule. he hasn't done as many events in the cycle so far and now that's going to increase. i think that was to be expected as we get to labor day, but i think it's obvious that they now realize the race that they're in today against

harris is like different race than they were in against biden. it's going to require a lot more effort. i mean, they were on a glide path to a landslide and other in a real dogfight. so i would expect them to be out there and j.d. vance as well. and really probably focusing on the core states that we know we're going to make up the election results. >> matt harris has you know, she's had this very long. if you will a honeymoon really that people keep waiting for it to be over when i say people, i mean, the trump campaign what should she do next? she is going out to the battleground states so is trump does she need to sit down and do an interview or as a sort of as someone in her camp. do you think, hey, the numbers are good? maybe we hold off on this just in case mistakes are made isn't it broke? >> you don't want to fix it, but i do think she'll sit for an interview. every candidate does and there's no question that you'll do that she's promised to do so, but i will say this. i'm not sure we're this is a honeymoon. i mean, a

honeymoon suggests that she's getting some kind of kid gloves treatment. she's not she has not made a mistake in a month, which is an incredible thing and the other thing i think is winning campaigns are on flywheel. if you look at 1992, when clinton and gore came roaring out of their convention on a bus in pennsylvania, they really never looked back. they were winning from that moment forward that was much earlier in the cycle that was in july. we're now in late august so the question is, can harris maintain all of this? we don't know the answer. she's human, she's likely to make a mistake over the course of the next couple of months. but so far there is zero evidence that any of this is slowing down her crowds are huge and enthusiastic. she's performing extraordinarily well. the money is pouring in her paid ads are terrific, so i don't see any sign of this changing, right? >> right now. >> i do want to ask you scott about something that came out from the trump administration

national security adviser, former lieutenant general hr mcmaster has written a book and it's really a blistering takedown of donald trump. he talks about in meetings at the oval office where everyone had to be sycophantic and then. he talks about foreign policy, where donald trump is saying as he put it outlandish things like, why don't we just bomb the drugs in mexico are right, don't we take out the whole north korean army during one of their parades? how does trump defend these allegations by hr mcmaster or does he need to i don't know that he's going to and up meeting to do that or if he does, i guess it'll be like, you know, there's been a lot of former trump administration officials that have had negative things to say about him. so i i assume he'll deal with in the same way he's he's dealt with everything. i think hr mcmaster is a great american who served our country honorably. he has a right to say the things and tell his story, but i would be surprised if this becomes part of the larger campaign narrative. i mean, if i were trump, i would

say, look, we had a lot of discussion in the oval office the decisions we made, the decisions we made, and ultimately, i think we did a good job with the country and i think biden and harris have done a badge i mean, you could see how you pivot out of it. >> matt, what do you make of the comments by mcmaster it's just extraordinary. >> how basically everybody that was around donald trump when he was president, thinks he was a catastrophe and dangerous. his vice president most of his cabinet, almost all of his chiefs of staff has said the same thing he said crazy things, you suck up to dictators. he attacked our allies. this is not someone who should be anywhere near the levers of power ever again. and it's basically a unanimous judgment on the part of the people who know him best that he should be kept out of the white house. >> i want to move on to j.d. vance the vice presidential nominee for the republicans, who sat down and did an interview. another interview with chris welker on nbc he was

asked about whether the administration if they were to become the next president, vice president would sign a federal abortion ban. here's what he said if such a piece of legislation landed on donald trump's desk, would he veto it? may be very clear he would not support it i mean, yeah. i mean, if you're not supporting it as a president, stacy tell a federal abortion ban, i think he would he said that explicitly what do you make of this? >> because conservatives, some people have come out really strongly against the thing. hey, what are you doing? you're going to lose the election by saying that you would not find this yeah. >> well, first of all, the premise of the question is a little fantastical. i mean, there's more of a chance of me sprouting wings and flying around this room than 60 votes in the u.s. senate for an abortion ban or any kind of more permissive abortion structure. i just don't think the senate is closely divided as it is and will be after the election is going to do that. so the odds of the next president signing anything or almost zero. and that goes for

kamala harris to she's she's promising to restore. she can so now, the trump position is actually a very defensible, moderate position. we're going to let the states make their laws. and my position is basically what ronald reagan's was, i believe in the three exceptions i'm pro-life. i think we should have reasonable restrictions, but at the end of the day, the states are going to make their judgments and oh, by the way, i'm also a strong supporter of ivf very defensible, moderate position. this debate about whether a president would sign a ban are not just strikes me as it's sort of a fantasy conversation because the odds of it happening are so infant visible matt, what do you think about this response from j.d. vance and the backlash that he is facing a bit from those who feel like they're too moderate while the rest of the country, obviously in polling, doesn't, doesn't like the idea of a federal abortion ban sir. >> i mean, it's clear that trump has in a box here because his base really does want to ban. they want much more stringent controls on

reproductive freedom whereas most americans do not. and it is clear that trump's and vance's pollsters understand this problem and they know that this can be a real liability for them trump has bragged many times about killing roe versus wade by appointing very conservative people to the supreme court. we have the receipts on that. there's no you can't escape that. and harris has made this a centerpiece of her campaign. you saw that at the convention, certainly in her speech, i think you're going to hear a lot more about this because the things that women and girls are going through in the states that have banned abortion are horrific. they're only going to get worse. and this is going to be a huge issue. >> matt bennett, scott jennings. thank you, gentlemen. appreciate you getting up early after that long ban festivus omar breaking overnight a massive russian assaults on ukraine more than 100 missiles and up to 100 drones targeting multiple cities across costa

country. president zelenskyy is calling it one of the largest attacks yet. and so far, we know at least four people have been killed in the strikes. and this comes as president zelenskyy says, ukrainian forces are making progress in russia's kursk region. cnn salma abdelaziz is following and all of this for us, so salma, what else are we learning about this particular attack overnight yes, omar, ever since ukraine pushed into russian territory, into kursk a few weeks ago with that surprise assault, it has been bracing for russian response and that appears to be what occurred. >> this morning. you painting air force saying that it received information that drones, missiles were coming at nearly every single region of ukraine dealt several people killed so far out at least temporarily, that means some people are without energy in cities like key people were told to shelter, to stay in those bomb shelters for long periods until it was clear in safe and of course that damage

that has sent rescue workers responding, scrambling a clock across various cities continues these yet another reminder, omar to ukrainians who are very far from those frontlines of it's war and that's exactly what russia wanted to inflict with this to make those were very far from the battlefield, continue to suffer during this conflict and speaking of those front lines it was over the weekend that yet another shocking attack occurred, this one in kramatorsk, and it's been extremely concerning for journalists because a hotel, the hotel fire was struck by russian attacks. >> several people were wounded, including a reuters crew and one person was killed. >> a british national who was there purity adviser to this reuters crew, killed in this attack is according to president zelenskyy, a deliberate attack meant intended to make it ever more difficult and scary. the cover that conference salma

abdelaziz. thank you so much. i want to talk more about all this with cnn military analysts and retired air force colonel cedric leighton. thanks for being here. i want to take a look at raw russia launching this missile and drone attack aimed at energy infrastructure really across ukraine during the overnight hours. as we heard from some abilities four people were killed in total as ukraine's air force says, it texted missiles and drones targeting almost all regions from the frontline eastern regions of kharkiv in the east. but even down to odessa in the south, kyiv to more of the central part of the country. so obviously a wide swath here. >> so i just want to get your take. what is the shrek? added g here, especially across such a wide array of targets at once well, good morning, omar. >> yeah, that big strategy for the russians is to inflict as much terror as possible on the civilian population. lot of the targets involved with civilian infrastructure, especially the heating system power plants as so because all of that is

fairly centralized in the ukrainian cities, that makes for really ripe targets from a military perspective, what the russians are doing is they're trying to inflict basically hell on earth for the civilian population. and then what they also wanted to do is cut off as much as they possibly can and supply routes. and the ability of the ukrainian military to reinforce their soldiers and marines in the different areas of ukraine, especially in the east, but also eventually in the kursk region where they've of course invaded that part of russian territory and you mentioned the kursk region just organism in but just for viewers, it's this small region up here. and the northeast part of the country. but as you come in a little bit closer as well, you can see this is now just zoom in a little bit for our folks but as those broad strikes have been happening, president volodymyr zelenskyy has talked about how they've advanced up to three kilometers in russia's kursk region region and have taken

control of two more settlements. what is the significance here and what are your realistic expectations for that campaign so what the ukrainians are doing, omar is they're basically taking as much land as they can. >> they're not going to be able to advance extremely far into russia, at least not under normal circumstances, but what they are trying to do is they're trying to grab as much land as they can to swap with potentially for the land that russia it has taken ukraine. they're also taking russian prisoners and they've already exchanged some prisoners with the russians. and so the ukrainians are getting their prisoners back from russia and the russians are getting their prisoners back from ukraine. and that is part of the effort that zelenskyy has in order to take the court to a part of russia, but also to tell the russians that they are order is not in violet. they can actually go with in and move fairly much at will in certain

parts of the border region along ukraine's border with russia i think for those watching from the outside and it changes a lot of the dynamics with most of this war being fought on ukrainian soil. so to see this, it does seem like a significant moment. i want to shift gears a little bit over to israel because the israeli military launched what? they said, we're preemptive strikes against hezbollah in lebanon as the idf says, hezbollah was preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward israeli territory. and later on, 200 rockets were launched by lebanon, launched from lebanon by hezbollah, which they said was the first phase of its strikes against israel over. and they are describing it as a complete success. so bottom line, i mean, we've seen this back-and-forth between again, hezbollah in lebanon region and israel for a long time now. but this one in particular, in retaliation for the killing of that senior hezbollah leader what are you looking for now? have we avoided that wider regional

escalation in your assessment? i'm just wondering where your assessment is of the situation patient yeah. >> omar, i think we have avoided it for the next 24 to 48 hours not sure what will happen next because it really depends in part on what happens with the peace. okay, so the ceasefire talks, i should call them in cairo. then that pertains to what happens with hamas in gaza. but i've both hezbollah and iran still have reasons to go after israel to attack israel based on what happened. now when hezbollah makes that statement that they are in phase one, that they completed it successfully what that means is that successful completion in their view may give them an excuse for it. and off off-ramps. so it's possible that tensions can be reduced as a result of that assessment. that public assessment that hezbollah has made, even though on the israeli side they're saying that there's been very little directly no damage to their

infrastructure because they were able to intercept most of the missiles and drones and rockets that game of the never direction. >> and these in their retaliation dynamics are, we're looking at on, on two fronts. obviously, we're talking about hezbollah and the killing of a fu'ad shukr, the hezbollah military leader, but also on the iranian front. we're looking for potential retaliation over the killing of hamas chief ismail haniyeh in hey ron. and so that brings me to my question. there is, what are you looking to be the response there from the iranians? and what is the united states role in all of this? >> so when it comes to the iranian response to that one is critical and you're right to point that out. or more because hezbollah and iran of course, worked together in many respects. and what the ukrainians are doing is they're basically waiting to see how effective has the laws effort for and then they may decide if they do respond, even further and mount their own attack. but

most likely they will work from proxies. it's easier for them to do that. however because of funny is killing in tehran, that means that they have to make some kind of response they may wait a bit before they do that. that could take bit longer than 48 hour timeframe for them to put something like that together. we may see something like what happened around april 13, but i suspect it will be a little bit different because they know that they weren't that successful in attacking israel on that day. >> and again, all of this happening as you mentioned, as intricate ceasefire talks are going on also worries over potential wider escalation depending on how some of these retaliations carry out. a lot to keep an eye on retired air force colonel cedric leighton. appreciate the time all right, still ahead. serious public health concerns and massachusetts ever deadly mosquito borne diseases, the extreme measures that are now being taken there and a stunning turn of events. how and when to astronauts who have

local officials toward the rally site. it's the first major investigative step for this taskforce since its inception. but what should these lawmakers be looking for today when there at the site? and does this have really any real impact on the investigation taking place no more. >> it's really important step for the investigators themselves, particularly when they're investigating an incident that that depends so crucially on factors like like spatial and proportion in understanding things like line of sight, the presence of the placement of the shooters, shooting position on the roof of that her building relative to the placement of the stage and determining whether or not it would have been reasonable and advisable to extend the security perimeter out beyond that building. so in order to make those sorts of judgments and recommendations, there's really no substitute to going

out to the location, seeing it with you're seeing it for yourself with your own eyes an understanding how all these different elements lay out in real space and time and i want to ask about another aspect of this day, because obviously as the investigations play out, we're learning more details and cnn's reporting about some of the failures on that day, including how the day before the rally local police officers left radios for the secret service use, but they were never picked up definitely some sort of miscommunication. >> there how does something like that happen? just can you bring us into the nature of what the communication should be between local law enforcement, state in some cases, but also federal at the secret service here absolutely. >> so it's important to remember that everything, all of the development in law enforcement with regards to response to a critical incident like this in the post 911 era has been really driving towards just a few themes in one of

them is coordination and communication we recognized after so many really unfortunate and tragic aspects of 911, that the ability for first responders from law enforcement to fire ems, to be able to communicate in the moment is absolutely essential. >> you see that here in the butler incident, the fact that local police had obtained radios on their frequencies, which they knew that the secret service doesn't have the ability still to this day to monitor with their own equipment. they got those radios and they set them aside and told the secret service counter-snipers to pick these radios up, and that never happened so there was an opportunity to improve their communication and coordination and they didn't take it, which is a really very concerning an odd development. it's one that's going to be critical to the ultimate outcome of all of these investigative efforts to

determine who could have done what to essentially perform better? there's really no substitute for easy communication. typically most crisis response locations have a single incident command post where everybody is co-located. we now know that the communication here typically went from the locals through a state police representative to the secret service that is just too attenuated. it clearly did not work here yeah. >> in a situation like this, every second counts andrew mccabe, i really appreciate the time. thanks for being here. >> sir on a real friday night, lights dim in selma, alabama ma'am, after a tragedy struck there, a high school quarterback died from a brain injury he sustained during the first game of the season. >> 16-year-old caden telling went to the hospital in critical condition. his death was announced the next morning. his family saying, quote, lives have been touched by the way he lived. and now lives will be saved through his passing. a service for kayden will be scheduled very soon. the ceo

after being hospitalized with a case of west nile virus. he's expected to make a full recovery, but his infection highlights the growing concern about mosquito-borne illnesses. cnn's jacqueline howard is joining us now. west nile is pretty common but, wow, hospitalized and it seems to be out there in a very big way exactly. >> sara, you know, around this time of year in august and september is when we see the highest levels of this kind of viral activity. and when it comes to west nile virus itself, it is the most common mosquito borne disease here in the united states each year, an estimated few thousand cases are reported so far this year, there have been a total of 216 cases across 33 states. as you see on the map there. this is, as of august 20, but the disease itself, this symptoms, it causes include fever body aches and there's no specific treatment. there's no vaccine, but when symptoms develop like

in dr. fauci's case, they can be alleviated with rest and fluids and pain medications. sara so another mosquito-borne illness has caused some issues in massachusetts telling me what's going on there that's right. >> eastern equine encephalitis, or also known as triple e. they are seeing a heightened risk of this, especially in the town of plymouth, massachusetts, sara so much so that they've closed their municipal parks at night. do to this illness. now it's not as common as west nile virus and estimated 11 human cases are reported each year in the u.s. and it doesn't always cause symptoms. but when symptoms do develop, they include fever headache, body aches but also neurologic disease. in some cases, you can develop inflammation of the brain, which is why this is concerning. but sara, when it comes to west nile virus, triple e, these are all good reminders for us to do the best we can to avoid mosquito bites.
