10:02 am
have died across four states and millions are without power and take a look at a dramatic rescue. an amazing one here the coast guard says a man and his dog uh, caught in the storm after their sailboat became disabled and started taking on water. this happened about 25 miles off sanibel island in florida and luckily, both the man and his dog were lifted to safety. let's go down to cnn weather center and to the cnn weather center and meteorologist elisa raffa what's next? next for helene? elisa the flooding is going to continue. >> good. see, we have a pretty wide stretch here of heavy rain. here's an outer band that's been pumping tornado warnings from wilmington to raleigh in eastern north carolina. then the heavy rain stretches into tennessee, kentucky even parts of eastern missouri. we have this rain that just continues to swirl. i have never seen so many flash flood emergencies in effect that is all of the white
10:03 am
outline that you see here. the green is a flash flood watch, meaning that there could be flash flooding anywhere in that watch area. but all of this kind of white outlined red area of the emergencies that is the highest level that we have to warn for flash flooding, telling people to take action immediately. one of these flash flood warnings has been in effect all morning for atlanta, including, the major population center, midtown, downtown. we have had people being rescued out of cars in the city all morning western north carolina really getting hit hard but all of this heavy rain, again, all of these white boxes are emergencies including that one that you mentioned, where there's a dam that they are worried. it's going to fail is eroding were trying to get more information about what's happening. there. but a lot of these places have already gotten more than a foot of rain. look at this. this is also mountainous terrains. this is appalachian mountains so they're worried about homes, possibly collapsing and landslides because there's nowhere for this water to go in this type of terrain. so that's just going to send things going down in
10:04 am
landslides. and you could see the pocket of the heavy rain totals well over ten inches in the asheville area. again, also coming with some wingless, so we still have two tropical storm conditions gusts, 30 to 40 miles per hour from charleston and myrtle beach and charlotte as well. all coming with the heavy rain. here's a look at some of these totals. one mountain community in north carolina, getting close to 30 inches of rain in the last 48 hours, 30 inches again in mountainous terrains that will cause landslides a table, rocks but carolina over a foot of rain, asheville, over a foot of rain, 13 inches, even atlanta got 11 inches of rain. >> again, it will continue as we go through the day today. >> we still have this high risk of rain in effect for the north carolina mountains, that high risk is only issued 4% of the time, but incredibly dangerous. it's responsible for 80% of our flood damages. brianna. >> elisa raffa for us in the cnn weather center. let's go now to cnn correspondent isabel rosales. she is in asheville.
10:05 am
she is joining us on the phone because she and her crew were actually facing rising waters and had to move their live shot location. so they're on the move right now. tell us what you're seeing is a bill briana, just to show you the sort of misinformation that can kind of happen in the panic that can happen. we saw people starting to run from the hotel yelling dam was about to break, but we spoke with several police officers who area and they said that that was not accurate this area were mad at biltmore village because, you know county that is the case that there was a dam that is at risk there of imminent failure. but nonetheless, here, people weren't a panic and started to evacuate, right? now, i'm near a bridge that actually has been cleared due to the police officer was telling me multiple propane tanks coming loose from a nearby gas company and they were piling up underneath of the bridge. this bridge is over
10:06 am
the swannanoa river a sense that we're starting up of fuel and of gas. and they were hearing the painting it just goes to show you brianna that it's exactly what the governor said that just because the rain has passed from this area, it doesn't mean that the threat is over since that we've seen the waters, the floodwaters continue to rise as it really has no place to go to right now. >> is going into these rivers and just swelling beyond the banks. so we're not out of the woods here yet in the asheville area, brianna all right. >> isabel, thank you so much. stay safe out there. we appreciate the report know switching gears, massive explosions rocked the lebanese capital of beirut over the past few hours. >> the israeli military says it hit the hezbollah headquarters in the powerful strikes israel now says hezbollah leader
10:07 am
nasrallah was the target of this strike. >> and also today, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressed the united nations general assembly with a fiery speech that included threats towards iran, a vow to continue israel's assault on hezbollah and hamas, and made no matter and shan of a us proposal for a 21 day ceasefire across the israel-lebanon border. cnn's kylie atwood is with us now. this was a speech that came just moments before these explosions in beirut. what is the message he's sending? today? >> it is a very clear message that israel is still interested and sees it as a necessity to engage militarily against hezbollah across what's the border in lebanon. he said in his speech today that israel has every right to continue these strikes against hezbollah. that of course, was met with frustration from us officials who have been pressing for a ceasefire and recently synthase. but i want you to just listen to as part of his speech this morning before the news broke about
10:08 am
this additional strike that occurred against the hezbollah headquarters in beirut today. and just the tone that he was taking in terms of the necessity to continue going after hezbollah in lebanon, listen to this just this week the idf destroyed large percentages of hezbollah's rockets, which had built with iran is funding for three decades we took out senior military commanders will not only showed israeli blood, but american and french blood as well and then we took out their replacements and then the replacements of their replacements will continue degrading hezbollah until all our objectives are bay no, these comments that we just heard from the prime minister, this morning come after us officials were already incredibly frustrated with israeli officials. we're told that when the u.s. sen. many of its allies rolled out this proposal for a 21 day ceasefire between hezbollah and israel.
10:09 am
they had had discussions with israeli officials leading up to that proposal and putting it out on the table they expected that it was going to be met with some welcome comments from israeli's prime minister netanyahu immediately threw cold water on it that led the u.s. to try and pressure the israelis to put out some sort of a statement that the k, that they were open to a ceasefire. we saw that done last night, but we should note that in that statement that israelis didn't actually say that they are open to a ceasefire. they said they appreciate the role that the united states is playing to try and drive down what is occurring along the israeli lebanese border. but they didn't commit to a ceasefire. and then what we're seeing today is really every indication that israel is laying know groundwork to try and make that ceasefire potentially come to fruition, particularly with this targeted airstrike on what they say is hezbollah headquarters in beirut. >> yeah, so huge strike kylie atwood. thank you so much for that. and let's go now to beirut, which is we're seeing it and as jomana karadsheh is joining us now from what is the
10:10 am
latest from where you are brianna, just under two hours ago massive blasts shook the lebanese capital hello, and we saw these plumes of smoke rising from beirut's southern suburbs where you do have hezbollah presence as well as it being a heavily densely populated part of the country. >> one of the most densely populated and we've heard since from the israeli military officially, the israeli military saying that they were targeting is hezbollah is central command center, and they said that this was a precise strike and that this was, that this center was underneath a residential building our colleague jeremy diamond confirming from an israeli official that the target of that strike was hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah and these really military right now is working to assess whether he was killed
10:11 am
in that strike. i can tell you from here, we have not yet heard anything official from the lebanese authorities from hezbollah. no announcement yet, but security official telling cnn that when asked if hassan nasrallah is alive or if he was killed he simply said, we wait and we are waiting to see if there's been any confirmation of this, but i can tell you that these were massive strikes according the lebanese state news agency, at least six buildings have been reduced to rubble and images that are emerging from this seeing you can see huge crater that is left by those strikes. certainly large munitions for you used in this targeted attack also unclear at this point. if there are casualties, one would assume when you look
10:12 am
at these images and the explosion that we witnessed here, we heard that they're most certainly will be casualties, but again, the big question is, was hassan nasrallah they're did he survive this or was he injured? all these questions? we are waiting to hear from hezbollah and from the lebanese authorities. but i can tell you that many here in lebanon are right now on edge a dangerous this escalation does not even begin to describe the situation brianna. >> and what would this mean if he does or does not survive this jomana? >> well, the fact that this, you know, she look at what has been happening here in recent days, you have had a serious israeli escalation that began with those pager and walkie-talkie attacks, then you've had several strikes in beirut's, were aware of the israelis went after hezbollah
10:13 am
commanders and senior leaders from that group. and since then in the past few days, you've had devastating strikes that have been concentrated on the south and the eastern part of the country something that the country's health minister who we spoke to said, this is a full-fledged war, that his country is facing. now at the same time, what we have seen from hezbollah is that they have continued their attacks on israel. we did see an escalation this week by hezbollah when they fired one ballistic missile targeting tel aviv, that was of course intercepted. and those who know the group know how it operates saw that really as i described, it, really as a calibrated escalation, saying that hezbollah was not ready to clare war was did not want to essentially take the gloves off. but right now, all is very possible. and we are talking
10:14 am
about the most heavily armed militant group that is right on israel's doorstep. and it is part of what is known as the so-called axis of resistance. these are iranian backed proxies from syria to iraq, to yemen. and this really he could be a turning point in this conflict that has been taking place. what has been aim you know, a mid-level intensity conflict between israel, hezbollah, and then you've had these attacks by these iranian proxies since october the eighth of last year. what we could be witnessing right now is a serious turning point in a very, very dangerous situation right now, briana jomana. >> thank you so much for your reporting. please stay safe. we'll check back with you again. i'm sure sure coming up ahead this hour on cnn news central, new york mayor eric adams appears in court, right to face those federal corruption charges our legal

10:20 am
telling allies, she's seriously considering the possibility of removing the mayor from office. it's a power granted to her under state law. adams says he will fight the charges. he will not step down. his attorneys spoke after the hearing, slamming federal prosecutors they normally answer questions. >> he didn't want to stay for questions in this case and they've left and they made this assertion to this day implied that somehow he's disappointing people or that people ought to be disappointed in him. it's not him doing this the government, the other government that everybody it'd be disappointed in bringing this case against the sitting mayor with us now cnn senior legal analyst, elie honig, a former federal and state prosecutor. >> elie, this idea of the governor invoking state law. how would that work? >> yeah, brianna, so this is an old and obscure statute that's about to come into the spotlight. new york law gives the governor the power to begin a process to remove a mayor. and that could be the mayor of
10:21 am
manhattan, that could be the mayor of poughkeepsie, any town in new york state. all it tells us that the governor has to start the process, notified hi, the mayor. hey, i'm trying to remove you. the mayor has to be given a chance to defend himself. and then it looks like the final decision gets made by the governor who essentially serves as prosecutor. and jury. it actually is not being used in new york. this law, brianna, since fdr when he was governor of new york state, used it nearly 100 years ago. so we're gonna be digging through the history books here. it sounds like the governor's people are reportedly doing just that, but ultimately it will be her decision whether she initiates this process to remove eric adams. >> were in all kinds of uncharted territory right now, including pretty incredible the sitting mayor of the biggest city in america working under orders of a pretrial release, how could that impact his movement and his ability just to run new york it's an unbelievable scenario. >> of course, he was given bail, he was released today as expected, but the fact of the matter is he is now under
10:22 am
federal court supervision. the court has the right to restrict where he goes to put a curfew. they haven't done these things, but he is now essentially a ward of the court. he is now subject to the court's jurisdiction while he is running the largest the most important city on the planet, it is a collision of interests down there in manhattan. the mayor's office is a couple of blocks away from that courthouse, and i'm still sort of having to run at my mind around the sitting mayor of new york city walking into that federal courthouse in sitting at the defendant's table. but we should get used to. it's going to happen a lot over the next several months his lawyer, who we just heard outside court said this is an airline upgrade corruption case that the government's cases based on the word of one staffer that that staff or lied and that the government hasn't put that information out there, provided it fair to say he left some things out fair to say? yeah. look, it's a catchy phrase. the airline upgrade corruption case. it makes the case sounds sort of small and petty, but a couple of things. first of all,
10:23 am
the case is about much more than that. the prosecutors here allege that eric adams didn't just take a couple of upgrades, but he took over $120,000 in free luxury travel and accommodations. that's number one. also what the defense lawyer are left out is a key part of the indictment. half of the indictment that talks about how adams separately is charged with taking campaign contributions from a foreign national which are illegal through false straw donors. and in fact, the allegation is adams then use that money to get about 10 $10 million in taxpayer matching funds. so that part was left out to as far as the claim that this is all based on one witness. i don't know that to be true. that's not how i read the indictment, but if this witness has credibility problems, then yes. prosecutors do have a duty to turn that over to the defense and will we'll see what they make of it. >> this sentence, the possible sentence of decades in prison. i mean, talk to us about how realistic that might be. what does he really looking at here if convicted?
10:24 am
>> yeah just a word of caution to everybody when you hear these maximum sentences, they're always huge numbers. they rarely come into play. the number here is 45 years, i think no one's getting anything near that, but if you look at the federal sentencing guidelines which are very influential at sentencing judges are not bound by them, but they absolutely use them as a starting point. the range for eric adams, given what he's charged with here, looks to me to be in the five to six year range. so even if he gets a little b that, that tells you how high the stakes are here of brianna, if eric adams ultimately does get convicted, i don't see any way he avoids a prison sentence. of at least multiple years, but also in the federal system, when a person gets assigned or excuse me, get sentenced to x number of years in prison. he will serve at least 85% of that. there's none of this early release or parole. so the stakes here for eric adams are enormous and unimaginable. >> yeah, they certainly are elie honig. thank you so much. we appreciate your insights and ahead us federal prosecutors charging three iranian

10:30 am
campaign and disseminating stolen information to media outlets. for more on this, we have cnn's senior justice correspondent, evan perez evan, what does this indictment allege what that this is these are charges against three members of the irgc, iran the iranian a revolutionary guard corps. >> and according to prosecutors, they were part of this broader operation by the iranians to try to target the trump campaign over the last few months, they beginning in may and june, they started trying to get to people associated with the trump campaign that they targeted journalists. they were able to get some non-public information, things from there were private information from the trump campaign, including a dossier on j.d. vance and other people who were being vetted for potential not running mates for donald trump. and they started disseminating some of those documents to two members of the media. now, this is a tactic that we know was used
10:31 am
very successfully back in 2016 by the russians. and so what the iranians, in this case appear to be doing what's trying to use that same playbook. and according to prosecutors, they have a lot of information about what the iranians were up to. it appears that the fbi and and certainly the intelligence community even knows exactly where in tehran the, these hackers were basing themselves out of. they even have a photo in this indictment of the front door of the office where this cybersecurity company that was being used by the irgc as part of this ration or where there were base. so a lot of information in here, these three people are not in custody, but the justice department says that they will continue to pursue them until they're caught evan, you noted this when you started speaking, but you said this is part of a broader complex effort by iranians, including targeting former president donald trump in his campaign just can you emphasize a little bit more
10:32 am
what you mean when you say a broader effort here well the intelligence community who believes that this is beyond and just an effort to hack the campaign. >> they also have a separate operation to try to kill the former president and other people associated with the former president and also people from the current administration. anyone associated with the u.s. government, the iranians are trying to figure out a way to target. we know earlier this summer danny, that they charged a pakistani man who, according to prosecutors, were sent here to try to find and hire a hitman who were tried to carry out assassinations. and so that is part of this very much more complex effort by the iranians, according to some of the paperwork we saw today, we saw sanctions, for instance, by the treasury department against seven people associated with the iranian government. all part of this operation, but this has been going on according to prosecutors and according to the u.s. government, certainly going back several years this year though you can see the stepped
10:33 am
up operations by the iranians. and according to the justice department, they are trying to call this out. now, before the november november elections, so that voters keep that in mind if they see things online, it's something that's quite different danny, from the way they, the government handled the 2016 case where they didn't say anything before voters begin casting their ballots, have embed us. >> thank you so much for that breaking news release appreciate it. >> sure does helene hits the southeast forecasters are looking at how the atlantic is more active than it's been all year, coming up ahead, how climate change supercharged this storm space you have a show were right and left. talk to cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real-time with bill maher tomorrow at 8:00 on cnn

helene's path as the storm pushes inland, causing catastrophic flooding in the southeast the storm is one of the biggest on record to hit the gulf coast, and that is no surprise to our next guest climate scientist, michael mann says climate change is causing stronger and more destructive storms. michael is also the director of the penn center for science sustainability, and the media at the university of pennsylvania anya and the author of the book, our fragile moment, how lessons from earth's past can help us survive the climate crisis. are at michael, thanks for being with us and just tell us why this hurricane helene was so bad >> it's good to be with you, brianna unfortunately, we're seeing yet another devastating storm make landfall ten foot storm surge, millions of people without power. a couple of dozen people have lost their life and so what we're seeing
10:39 am
are these more destructive and deadly storms that are intensifying faster? and this is another example of what we call rapid intensification, where in the space of about 24 hours it went from a tropical storm to a major hurricane and less than another 24 hours, it became a cat at four hurricane the science here is pretty rock solid. it's not it's not rocket science, it's pretty basic physics that tells us that the warmer you make the oceans, the more moisture they evaporate into the atmosphere, the more energy there is too intense pence defy these storms. the more rapidly they intensify when they're more intense, when those winds are stronger, you get a larger storm surge. >> they pile up more water and when it makes its way towards the coastline, you get this sort of catastrophic flooding that we're seeing as well as inland flooding because again, the air is very warm.
10:40 am
>> there's more moisture in that storm as it continues. after it makes landfall and it progresses case, it continues to dump out huge amounts of rainfall and they're seeing quite a bit of flooding even inland in the southeastern us us. >> yeah, we're looking at those pictures. it is unbelievable in atlanta where we see this scene from earlier today when we look at how helene compares to other recent storms because i do just want to give people some perspective here. it was 420 miles wide. idalia last year was 219 miles wide. ida in 2021, 247 miles wide michael in 2018, 272 miles wide. so we see what a big difference this is. what do you see looking at those numbers yeah. >> so this is another trend that we've seen that these storms are larger, just the
10:41 am
the, the radius of maximum sustained winds. you know, how far out you can go and still from the center of the storm, it's still see hurricane strength, winds we're. seeing storms that are much larger in that sense. and the science here isn't quite as well-developed. we clearly see a trend towards larger storms. why exactly that's the case is still being worked out and debated by scientists, but i can tell you what the implications are when the wind these are strong, and when those winds extend far out from the center of the storm, it's going to pile up more water. the larger the storm. all else being equal, the more water it's gonna pile up, the stronger the wins, the more water it's going to pile up. so you put those factors together very intense storm very large radius maximum sustained winds of hurricane strength winds and you get these huge storm surges like what we saw here with haleine
10:42 am
101112 feet, as i understand it, along parts of the florida's big bend coast so how do we turn this trend around well, turning it around is going to be tough because the reason we're seeing these more intense, more extreme storms is because of how much we've warmed up the planet, how much we've warmed up the oceans and that warmth is sort of baked in for the near future, we're not going to cool the planet down in the absence of substantial new technology to suck carbon out of the atmosphere. >> we're not going to be able to do that for the foreseeable future. and so we're sort of stuck where we are, we can prevent it from getting worse and one of the things that climate science has taught us over the last, you know, dozen years or so, is that we're now much more confident that when we bring our carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning down
10:43 am
to zero, when we stop polluting the atmosphere with carbon pollution, the planet will stop warming up. and so there's a direct un bd, it consequence of our efforts to decarbonize our economy. and so that's what we've got to do. we've got to transition as rapidly as possible away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. and we've got an upcoming election here where we have a stark choice before us. we have a candidate on the one side who denies that climate change is real cause it but a hoax. we've got a candidate on the other side who recognizes that this is one of the great threats we face and will try to build on the progress that we've already made and trying to do something about the problem all right. >> michael mann, we appreciate you. this is just incredible what we're looking at here and you really put it into perspective. thank you. >> thanks very much, brianna. >> next, vice president harris will visit the southern border today will be speaking to one of the president. won a president biden's key advisers about the criticism how the

10:50 am
the critical battleground, state of arizona, where she'll meet with border officials, tore a point of entry and deliver remarks harris campaign aide tells us that during her speech, harris plans to highlight former president trump's role in killing that bipartisan border deal and emphasize her work as a us senator and attorney general of california, a border state now, part of harris has strategy to counter trump's includes a new ad that will run arizona and other battleground states. take a look here's her plan. >> hire thousands more border agents enforced the law and step up technology and stop fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking. we need a leader with a real plan to fix the border but harris has a steep hill to climb. >> a recent cnn poll shows former president trump holding a significant 14 point advantage nationally when it comes to who is more trusted? to handle immigration joining me now to discuss this is democratic congressman jim
10:51 am
clyburn of south carolina. congressman. thank you so much for joining us. this afternoon let's jump right into immigration. this is harris's first visit to the border as a presidential candidate. her last visit was back in 2021 when she was given the mission of tackling good causes of migration. congressman, why hasn't she visited in three years well, thank you very much for having me. >> i have no idea question. i do know she was first given this job. she went to the countries of origin to try and find out exactly how weak but tackle this problem from the very origin of it. rather than the aca that the border. now, while she was attorney general of california, a border state, she dealt with this issue. she served two terms as attorney general. so she's been to the border many,
10:52 am
many times. so i don't know that this isn't the border is all you need to do. >> to tackle this problem, you had james lankford and senator murphy from republican from oklahoma senator murphy, the democrat has not been connecticut working together, they produce a by partisan bill, which she endorsed as did president joe biden and what happened this bill, who is can really take us along with our solving the problem trump decided that he didn't want to see the problem solved. he wanted to have a political issue to run on and so that's what is taking place here. and so i think her going down there at this particular juncture pointing to that piece of legislation reminding the people of why it did not get
10:53 am
across the finish line and let them know that when she is elected, she will bring that deal back and she will sign it into law if he can get through any kind of filibusters that might tick up in the senate well, congressman, i want to talk a little bit specifically about that bill because you're right when asked what her plan has been to fix the border, she says she'll go back and sign that by partisan bill that you referenced with oklahoma senator james lankford. but that fell apart and president biden was not able to pass immigration reform during his first two years here's what he had control of both both the house and the senate. there may be a divided congress again, after november so if vice president harris becomes president, do you believe immigration will be a top priority for her administration? >> oh, okay think there's been a top priority for every administration for that since i've been in the congress and
10:54 am
that's 30 years now, i work very closely. we thought we had this bill this issue resolved house, house majority whip the first time i worked with becerra, who's now hhs secretary. we worked very closely together to produce a bill in the house. we thought we had the same bill going in the senate and at the last minute, the senators walked away from it so this has been an issue for a long time, and it's going to be issued until people can feel that border is no long to boris for us to maintain security for the people within these borders. i think that this bill is the beginning of a great resolution to this issue. we ought to get this bill across the finish line she's committed to doing that. and i do believe that
10:55 am
would start us that you're solving this problem congressman, i want to change gears for a moment, sticking with the issue though, presidential politics, vice president harris leads right among black voters, age 60 and over by about 87 points almost identical to president biden's lead at five point margin back in 2020. >> that was according to exit polls but this shrinks to a 55 point lead for harris among black voters younger than 60. so when you're looking at this generational divide, i know you've spoken about and we've spoken about it on the air for a little while now. i'm curious your perspective though, do you fear that this could be a sign of a larger, longer-term problem for the democratic coalition if they're losing the support of younger black voters, particularly black losing support of younger black man. >> i talked to them all the time hang out on hbcu campuses

ai the deal with the youth council of the end wcvb all across this country. >> we are having an issue to neck during these young people, where they hang out. >> they don't hang out the way older people used to hang out. we have have to meet people where they are. and so i think that what we are beginning to see, the kamala harris is doing a great job of now a digital connection which needs to be done if you're going to get, get to these young people. and i think that's going to improve. >> i'll tell you this i believe very strongly that between early voting and november 5 she'll have over 90% of that vote. >> we shall see congressman james clyburn. thank you very much for your time today. appreciate it thank you very much for having me and coming
