2:03 pm
in normal times is now gone and we have to work around it. >> hundreds of roads remain closed in western north carolina's sunday, crews are working to reach people who are trapped with limited supplies our biggest need right now is to take care of the people that live in this community would need water desperately, we have yet to receive any water. >> millions of people remain without power across several states, including tennessee, were dozens had to be rescued from floodwaters on a rooftop of a hospital, have never seen a hurricane tennessee that has looked like this, not in the years that i've been here in florida where helene made landfall, communities were wiped down from storm surge and strong winds countless residents or displaced boil water notices are in place in multiple counties we've got a couple of things to remedy, but dan, it's mostly going to be the homes and the businesses and fixing that and keaton beach, florida, i'm ivan rodriguez reporting let's go now to north
2:04 pm
carolina where scores of people remain unaccounted for at this hour, cnn's rafael romo is joining us live near biltmore village and asheville rafael so many people wondering how the recovery efforts are going right now. and i know we've heard you talking about people who are still unaccounted for people trying to get in touch with people to make sure they're okay. >> yeah that's right jessica. and if you remember, we were talking about how yesterday officials here in buncombe county that we're saying that there were as many as 60 people unaccounted for today. they're telling us that a 30 people have died. they have updated that figure in the last hour. 30 people have died here and bunk county where asheville is located, that brings the total to 36 in the state of north carolina and 89 in the entire southeast. as a result of tropical storm hurricane helene, which hit this area on friday. now, we are located right behind me is built more
2:05 pm
avenues. one of the hardest hit areas here in this town, and that gives you an idea of when you look at the mud in the debris covering the road, the kind of challenge that a state officials are facing right now, it's very difficult to navigate through those roads and i can tell you we've been trying trying to get to different places ourselves and it's been very challenging. that's why governor roy cooper says that in many instances, what they have had to do is air lift. a lot of the supplies to reach those communities in need they have set up a system by which they bring most of the supplies here to add let's fill and then they tried to get away to find a way to the mountain communities around this area. if there's no way of getting there than they air lift those supplies. they have also opened mass feeding sites that are now available for people and the governor said that he understands the plight of people, what people are going through. he knows that they're
2:06 pm
desperate then he wanted to reassure them that state officials are everything they do to bring some relief let's take a listen people are desperate pushing to get it to them. >> a massive effort. many people are cut off because roads are impassable they don't have power or communications, please know that we are sending resources state officials were saying yesterday that as many as 400 roads were impassable for different reasons. >> even a flooded some of them had been just completely destroyed today, that figure has gone down to 280, so a little bit of good news there, jessica, when it comes to the situation here on the ground. but again, very, very sad news that we heard last hour. 30 people that here in buncombe county now back to you all right. >> rafael romo. thank you for that reporting and a short time ago, the department of health
2:07 pm
and human services declared a public health emergency for north carolina, florida, and georgia, joining us now former fema administrator, craig few gate. and he's now the chief emergency management officer for one concern, craig, thanks so much for being here with us. >> thanks for having me. >> so many communities have been devastated by the storm are continuing to live through that right now. as someone who has seen a lot of disasters and disaster zones, as you watch these videos and hear this reporting, what are the biggest challenges you can identify as they begin? these are recovery efforts and the rebuilding and the cleanup well, it's going to be the road networks. >> as the governor said, it's just hard to get supplies and you can fly some stuff can, but that won't sustain large areas. so getting roads up and do an emergency repairs is something i know their department of transportation is working on and i'll president biden made that declarations to turn on all of the federal assistance. fema supporting the
2:08 pm
governor and those teams but this this impact and you have to go back to probably 1969 hurricane camille did similar levels of damage in virginia to understand the power of these storms can have once they move in and we know fema is sending bottles of water to western north carolina. >> we've heard we heard from one official not too long ago saying that they are facing clean water shortages in some places those are the type of real issues that are popping up that can really, really impact people. how, how will people be able to get those needed supplies and do you anticipate that that will continue to be a need for days to come well, north carolina. and other states actually had supplies on their own famous backstopping that so the problem is getting it to where it's needed. and that's to a large degree, areas that are cut off bridges that are gone and trying to locate where people are at. but the first part is still search
2:09 pm
and rescue so i think this is you got to put them in this in context that while there are people moving to those more immediate needs, a lot of effort is still on searching and trying to locate people, particularly those that may be trapped. and then as you start getting into these water missions and dealing with feeding a lot of this will be determined by how long does it take to get water systems back up and as you've heard and seen from report, some of these systems have been destroyed or heavily damaged. so you're talking days to weeks just to get those systems up. and this will not be a short response on the water mission and others. this is probably going to be going on for weeks and some of these areas that are hard hit and we know that fema is working with those local and state authorities, help people understand how those different layers of government in a situation like this how do they work together? >> what is fema focused on that maybe the state and local authorities are doing something else. how does it get delegated? >> well, the first thing he has
2:10 pm
fema since there folks and to the state emergency operation centers. and ideally, we're not really looking at this as each level of government tried to figure things out there, working as one team where fema has really focuses on the state's unmet needs, resources they may need from everybody, from the army corps of engineers to those supplies that are needed in those states. but female also be looking at what long-term recovery looks like, how many homes have been destroyed? what is housing going to look like? you know, a lot of the programs that theme will do will be based upon the availability of hotels and motels where there's parts of these areas that's not going to be an option temporary housing mission, whether they need to bring in trailers to provide longer-term housing and then the issue of permanent work to rebuild. and the key thing here is to make sure that as we're rebuilding from these disasters we're not just putting it back the way it was, we're building back better and stronger because unfortunately these extreme rainfall events, whether it's
2:11 pm
a tropical system, are not, are increasing in frequency. and we really need to consider, are we building for the future? are only the past? >> i also just lastly, want to ask you about communication because cell phone service we know was knocked out from the storm. people are having a very hard time communicating, much less just to tell people there, okay. much less to have all the officials and people trying to get to them and rescue them, being able to communicate with one another. what what is your best? recommendation if somebody out there is trying to hear from a loved one and can't get them. what do you recommend they do and what kind of challenge does that does that present? >> well, the communications being out and you can't reach somebody doesn't necessarily mean the worst has happened. first thing i tell people is, although we know we have lost lives, we generally see more people that are missing or unaccounted for because of communications. so i don't want people to lose the second thing is as so those surfaces come up
2:12 pm
you'll start getting better communication. but for the people in the area, probably their best source of information still going to be radio radio stations that broadcast and you get information the areas each state has different ways to get into their system to say, hey, i got family missing identify that i would recommend looking at those state emergency management website on how you can get information in there that were you missing somebody and see if there's any information on them but it's hard to say patients. but i also tell you that in many disasters it is the lack of communications that leads people to worry that in many cases, people are okay. they're just cut off i just want people to, you hear these big numbers about people being missing and you came made contact, don't assume the worst in many cases is communication comes up will be reunited families now, we hope, we hope that is the case, and i think it's a good message.
2:13 pm
>> don't lose hope or craig fugate. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> you're on the cnn newsroom and president biden saying an all-out war in the middle east must be avoided as israel continues to strike hezbollah targets in lebanon i've been lebanon, and the houthis in yemen. we've got details on that ahead also, vice president harris is in battleground, nevada today as former president trump attacks her mental acuity witty and later on saturday night live went on at summer height as president biden was still in the race so much has changed the summer and the convenience didn't hold back they're season premiere. we're going to have some highlights. >> that's tim walz and j.d. vance in their first and only face-to-face debate and cnn has covered with the best political team in the business, a cnn special event, the vice presidential debate, tuesday at nine cnn. >> this has pickleball

2:18 pm
see row back in the winter i got news for you? >> saturday at nine on cnn? >> i'm jim sciutto live in tel aviv, israel. the world is watching his tensions here in the region remain critically high. israel and hezbollah, again trading fire across lebanon's border, though israeli strikes inside lebanon far more numerous lebanese health officials say at least 58 people were killed in israeli strikes just today. and there's this, israel carrying out airstrikes on houthi controlled parts of yemen. the idf says a power station and a seaport with an oil pipeline were hit there ben wedeman joins us now and first on the situation in beirut, i know is we've been speaking, you say the strikes have become more sporadic in recent hours, but it's been quite a few days
2:19 pm
there >> they've been sporadic on the southern suburbs of beirut today. but what we've seen in the beqaa valley in southern lebanon if they've been very intense, in fact, just to update you the ministry of health is just giving new numbers of the number of fatalities there now approaching in 84 this day alone on, at the moment, i'm hearing in israeli drone overhead, which has become pretty constant over the lebanese capital. and of course they've clearly keeping a very close eye on the southern suburbs. now today, his baloch came out announced that two more of their senior commanders have been killed. one, ali karki, who was responsible for the southern front in other words, border with israel and nobilo koch, who is the head of preventative security and also a member of his butler's
2:20 pm
leadership council and also, we heard from a lebanese security source, jim that the body of nasrallah has been found at that site where six buildings oh we're, flattened however, we still don't know when or where or if a public funeral for him will be held. >> jim beirut. and now to the other front of this expanding war is that one inside yemen? and i'm joined now by cnn's nic robertson who went on a flight today with the israeli military, the israeli air force, i should say to yemen, tell us what you saw. >> yeah, this was an idf embed allowed to be there, not allowed to take a camera with us not to did not have our own video footage on board this aircraft. but what we were able to see was how they are operating on these long range missions. this mission today to
2:21 pm
strike hudaydah involved a number of air to air refueling aircraft, and that's what we were on board. one of and topping up the f 30 fighter jets all the way as they were on route flying on their path towards hudaydah. >> it's a vision into the difference between striking yemen and striking lebanon, because israeli warplanes construct lemonades lebanon and a flight that last minutes yemen is a much longer flight of hundreds of miles that requires that refueling and therefore, is a much more elaborate operation. i imagined much more elaborate and much more sophisticated, 1,200 miles. this, by the way, i was told was the second longest mission but the israeli air force has ever conducted like this since 1985 when they struck targets and libya. now, of course they fly these aircraft further distances. but this was the longest combat mission that they've been on what the message was here,
2:22 pm
other than what they targeted on the ground there, the power station, the houthi control facilities in the port city of hudaydah was to show exactly what the prime minister has been saying. that the enemies that strike out and hit israel, we can reach you wherever you are. that was the message that was the message of how they have the ability to use these fuel tankers to get their fighter jets on station. and the reason they did it. now was because just yesterday, the houthis fired another ballistic missile at the center of israel and they claim that they'd find it at ben gurion airport when the prime minister was just landing on the tarmac. >> that's quite a message of its own. i wonder, is that message about the range of israeli air force operations, not just intended for the houthis in yemen, but also for iran. >> it's exactly what i was told, not just for the hoop is there for iran, for iran to say that israel is willing and ready? he and able to reach out. and of course, what, what
2:23 pm
the idf explain and say is that the houthis are only able to launch these missiles because they are being brought in by the iranians because there are rainy and backed and the place that they're bringing them in or one of the places they bring them in? it's the port city of hudaydah, which is one of the reasons why they were targeting houthi controlled part of it. i asked them, what do you do about civilians? and they said that's part of the sophistication of this mission is you time it right to the minute two, the second even to try to reduce the possibility of civilian casualties on the ground, they say you cannot always mitigate against that, but they take precautions. they told me if they see civilians there or if they see for example, shipping close by to where they're targeting, they say that they they wouldn't strike. so it's a very important question i think to be asking the idf at the moment about civilian casualties because it's because of the
2:24 pm
high casualty toll in gaza, the high casualty toll that we're seeing inside a whole new bar as vincent for civilian casualties. and we see, for instance, in israeli airstrikes in lebanon, that there are times when certain precautions are taken and times when they're not. for instance, there were warnings that went out prior to israeli airstrikes on weapons depots of course, there was no warning prior to the strike that ended up killing nasrallah imagine in that point, secrecy outweighed the risk of civilian deaths and that is something that was explained to me that there are, there are targets like that where they would describe it as the golden information, the information comes in that he's had that high-value target is in that place. >> it's a whole different calculation at a situation like like yemen today, i was told that if there had been a very high risk of civilian or other casualties that they would have pulled back.
2:25 pm
>> their robertson fascinating access. thanks so much. and we'll be right back with more to 30 years. >> i've been saying publicly, more people say and turns out i have enough money. i could just shut off the fact is, i can carve saturday at seven on cnn. >> you love this style of shoe. they're comfortable, casual stylish, but skechers has topped them and made them even better. it gets now they come in hands-free sketcher slippers just slipping and go with no bending down and no touching them. try hands-free sketcher slippers. >> awkward question is, are gonna be anything left the dover oh, absolutely my kids don't know what they want. you know, who knows what she wants. i want to massage mccarthy from someone named john carlo and i didn't live in a shoebox for years, not just with empower, we get all of our financial questions answered so you don't have to worry, i guess look at the caviar just going

2:30 pm
election here, as would be the first democrat to carry voters aged 65 and older since al gore in into thousand. that new polling coming as vice president harris is campaigning out west today. she's holding a fundraiser in california before heading to a los vegas to a las vegas rally in the battleground, state of nevada. that's set for later tonight cnn's priscilla alvarez is joining us now from las vegas. and priscilla, what more are you learning about the focus for harris when she gets there to nevada? >> just got i've been speaking with harris campaign officials who tell me that what they're seeing on the ground here is that there are three particular issues that are top of mind for voters, the economy, housing, and reproductive rights. so all of those three will be themes throughout the course of the vice president's remarks at her rally here tonight. but this this is also an opportunity one that the campaign sees to try to shore up support with latino voters. as you mentioned there, the vice president has a lead on her republican rival, donald trump among that electorate, a growing electric. but when you
2:31 pm
break it down she has an advantage with women, hispanic women, but it's pretty even with hispanic men and taken in totality, it still lags behind other democratic nominees. so this is an area of focus for the harris campaign to try to gain some ground with these latino voters, including with her stop here in the critical swing state of nevada. now, of course, this is going to conclude her west coast swing earlier on friday, she was in arizona where she talked it's about border security, and then she has spent the weekend in california where she's participated and to fund-raise fundraisers. she is currently at one now before she comes down here for this rally, the rest of the week is going to look like a folk just on the blue wall and she will be returning to pennsylvania as well because as there have as the campaign has looked at multiple pathways to hit those 270 electoral votes, pennsylvania is always key to that strategy. so the campaign and it clearly ramping up their travel and getting more
2:32 pm
aggressive ahead of election day. and the vice president concluding her west coast swing for now. with this rally tonight here in las vegas and meantime, priscilla, we look ahead to tuesday. what do we know about that vice presidential debate and how governor tim walz is preparing for that well, the harris advisers that i've spoken with say that they really want his likability to shine through. >> of course, that was something that the vice president what gravitated toward i when she was selecting who are vice presidential nominee would be now, they are also aware that j.d. vance as they practice debater and sources tell cnn that walz is nervous and fighting nerves because of the pressure because ultimately this could very well be the last debate of this election because so far the former president has not committed to debating the vice president. a second time. so this is going to be a key moment in one where advisors are also preparing tim waltz to focus on the former president
2:33 pm
tying j.d vance and painting him as just as much as of risk as the former president over the course of this 90 minute debate. but ultimately, they do want to have his personality come through the way that they have seen on the road. jessica. >> all right. priscilla alvarez for us there in las vegas. thanks so much for that reporting. and just a reminder to tune in to cnn is tim walz and j.d. vance come face-to-face for their one and only debate a cnn special event, the vice presidential debate simulcast airs live tuesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. up next historic birthday, a milestone. former president jimmy carter turning 100. this week we're going to speak with the carter center ceo i'm plans to celebrate rated oprah winfrey joe of all time. >> we're still talking about it. >> she opened the door to have discussions about way in a way that we had not before tv on

topic for you. as they get older, their risk of getting really sick from a respiratory virus, lake flu, covid-19 and rsv goes up a lot so talk to them about getting the season's vaccines because you've still got so much to talk about prokupecz outside new york's federal plaza. and this is cnn i'll looming walkout at us ports from maine and taxes threatens to become the most disruptive strike to the u.s. economy in decades. longshore workers at east and gulf coast ports are set to walk off the job tuesday if they cannot reach a deal with the major shipping lines, potentially crippling 14 ports a strike of this kind could slow down the flow of many imported goods, including bananas, cars, alcohol, cnn's camila bernal is at the port of los angeles. kamala. this could be a big deal. walk us through what kind of impact it could have yeah,
2:39 pm
it could have a huge impact. and the question here then becomes how long would the strike go on for? because right now the union is saying that they will go on strike. but depending on how long this lasts, then you begin to see a lot of these impacts on a lot of things that you purchase daily. you mentioned some of them like the fruits, like bananas and the cherries and the chocolate, but also clothing and household items you also have european alcohol and european cars that go through these ports. so what happens there is that you have a shortage once you have a shortage than the prices go up and that's when you begin to see that impact on the u.s. economy so on one side of the negotiations is the union. so the international longshoreman's association, or the ila they say they represent about 85,000 union members of that about 50,000 will be included in this contract. but they say that about only 25,000 jobs are available, so they're already saying they're not enough jobs. and according to a person familiar with these negotiations, what they're
2:40 pm
asking for is a $5 an hour increase every year of the contract. they say if you talk to these union leaders, they will say that they have seen the profits of the industry and they have not seen it reflected on their paychecks. they say they earn billions of dollars for the employers and they want to see that in the contract. now, on the other hand, you have the employers who say that these demands are unreasonable. the united states maritime alliance or the u.s. umax, what they're saying is that they want to to turn to in-person negotiations to chat, to try to talk through all of these points. and a person familiar with the negotiations saying that they have offered upwards of 40 40% increases in those wages over the six-year contract but again, they have not been able to come to the table, which is why we anticipate that strike beginning early tuesday morning. and in the meantime, you have retailers and people involved in all of this nervous about what could happen and how long this could last the national retail federation saying that just one day of
2:41 pm
these ports being shut shutdown could mean that it takes about five days to recover. so again, this is a long-term problem problem if this strike goes on for multiple days or even weeks, jessica absolutely. >> all right. camila bernal with the latest there from the port of los angeles. thank you so much and we'll be right back. >> you look at the news of the week and as questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn that's too much i want donald know. can you slice that i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn there are some things that were together like your workplace benefits and retirement savings presentation looks great thanks lawyer provides tools that help we make the right investment and benefit choices so you can reach today's financial goals that one and look forward to more confident future that is one dynamic duo oh yeah.
