>> bill: between maria and the u.n. and middle east peace, health care. >> shannon: there's a lot to get done. don't forget tax your form is looming in the wings as well. >> bill: have a great day everybody, be well and we'll see you tomorrow. bye-bye. >> jon: a fox news alert for you, hurricane maria makes landfall in puerto rico as a category 4 storm. it is hammering the island with high winds and heavy rain. hello and welcome to "happening now," i'm jon scott. >> julie: and i'm julie banderas. maria slamming particle after pummeling parts of the virgin islands. the national weather service in san juan warning of catastrophic damage, unrelenting rain is expected to saturate the island with some parts getting up to 2e of days. this is one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit puerto rico and its setting its sights on some more caribbean islands later this week. >> jon: we have live fox news

coverage. adam is then fox extreme weather center. we begin with steve harrigan who is in san juan, puerto rico, right now. we speak of the rain is heavier than it has been all morning and that's creating flash flooding with some river gates being opened up. the winds have gusted here on the back end of this storm to over 100 miles per hour. the worst of the wins came at about 9:00 in the morning with sustained gusts of more than 104 to 5 miles per hour. those were winds enough to tear the sides of some buildings. we just saw bits and pieces of buildings fly through the air and tops of trees have also snapped off. this island now according to the governor is almost 90% without electric power. it may be 100% soon, that means people in this storm for writing it out around their own. no electric power, no emergency rescue services, if they have a portable radio, that's what they're hearing. otherwise they're hearing the

sound of this wind and the sound of this rain. the short-term danger has been from the destructive winds and deadly wins. the long-term may be different things. flash flooding, storm surge and even potential mudslides when the rain hits a central part of this island. 3.5 million people all of whom now without power. >> jon: there was a question about release supplies being available, especially after hurricane irma hit just a week or so ago. >> there still suffering from hurricane irma which hit here two weeks ago with a glancing blow, but even a glancing blow it this island with its dilapidated economy was enough to knock out power for more than 1 million people. they're already suffering from irma. we're sing the first police cars roll which is certainly a good thing, a lot of first responders is staying in this hotel. this hotel itself is badly damaged, big holes punched through, a river running to the casino in there, some ceilings collapsed as well.

balconies torn off. it's still too hard for the first responders to go out and most of them are still waiting until the wind gets below 50 miles per hour to try and go out. we expect some dramatic search and rescues a lot of people in puerto rico and wooden houses and zinc groups. a lot of those are flying around the island. >> jon: the police truck that we just saw passed by you, the presumption is that the winds are dying down just a little bit and that's why they're able to get out? >> no, he was moving it from him position to another. we have not seen any mobilization of police forces yet. they did set up about 500 shelters which is about ten or 15,000 people taking advantage of those shelters. most people not moving into the shelters here across the island. >> jon: is but as it looks, it's fair to say that if you weren't in the shelter of that hotel, you probably wouldn't be able to stand up very well. >> we were in that hotel and it's a weird feeling because

water started to leak through the ceiling where they moved everyone down to the lobby and then there was a real concern about just the roof collapsing, so you're safer out here, i think that inside that hotel. >> jon: steve harrigan, doing a good job. life from puerto rico where the hurricane is right now. thank you. >> julie: meteorologist adam klotz is in the weather center right now. where is this thing headed? >> it's been headed across puerto rico for nearly five hours. and made landfall here early this morning at 615 in the morning so this entire time, we've been slowly crossing the island. still in calgary 4 storm, still a very big one with strong winds as well. as we move across the island, we've seen this. you have the mountains are running up to four and half the feet. any storm that passes is going to degrade a little bit. we've been seeing that. it doesn't change it from being powerful, but look at that very tight ion. makes landfall again.

the eye wall is off to the west of san juan. still an area where they are seeing very heavy rain and strong winds, but it's falling apart a little bit at this hour. eventually going to run back over warm water and hold onto that very strong strength. you're looking at 140 mile-per-hour winds gusting up to 180 miles per hour. it's moving at 12 months power to the northwest. should it be too much longer that we're hanging on. right there, that is the area we are currently looking at. the i will eventually track off your to the north and west of the island. as it does so, it's going to regain strength camille see that defined eye wall again that's moving just north of the dominican republic, just off of the turks and caicos. you do see a wide berth here as far as our cone of uncertainty, but we're going to turn up on the east side of the bahamas and then there's your east coast. perhaps running up along the east coast. this is a very defined small

storm. i want to show you this. this is our forecast path. take a look at where it's at right now. as a tight storm with a very tight ion, that's it allowed it to go so quickly from a categor. sitting at that 4. as it grows, it will be more widespread, but right now, it's so powerful in part because it's such a small defined storm. >> julie: adam klotz, thing you so much. >> jon: fox news alert on a jam-packed today for the president in new york city as he holds high-level meetings with the palestinian leader, theresa may, and the judge and president. right now, he sitting down with a boss. mr. trump says he feels optimistic about reaching a mideast peace deal. the president tweeting today, big meetings today at the

united nations, so many interesting leaders, america first, will make america great again. joining us now, jake sherman, senior writer for politico and coauthor of politico's playbook. the president had some optimistic words during his sitdown photo session with mahmoud abbas. he said it may be the best chance ever for peace among the israeli and the palestinians. we have any idea what he was referring to? >> no we don't this is a situation in which the trump administration has done a lot more behind the scenes than is publicly known and public way available. i think the palestinian authority has met with the thep administration about 20 times in their eight months in office. they've been very involved shuttling between washington and

jerusalem to talk to the israeli government and the palestinian government. one other thing to bring up that the president did say he's come to a position on whether to recertify the iran deal and let them know a later date. some suspense coming from new york this morning. >> jon: he did say, he moderated his tone by saying we will see, that kind of thing regarding the israeli and palestinians. they could be that those negotiations could line up with pulling the rabbit out of the hat here. >> of course the frame work has been released. we don't know what kind of framework they're talking about. what i will say is that benjamin netanyahu has a coalition of lawmakers who aren't really for a bunch of dealmaking, much like we have here in the united states in some ways, not always.

he has his own domestic policies to contend with. >> jon: there is also a meeting scheduled with theresa may. she thinks tearing up the iran deal would be a bad idea and the president has suggested that's what he wants to do. that's going to be an edge thing meeting. >> i think if you look at the broad canvas of world leaders, almost nobody besides donald trump, maybe one or two across the world, but very few people besides the president of united states things it's a good idea to tear up the iran deal. benjamin netanyahu says he's not for the deal, he things is a bad deal. behind the scenes, his government has said to reporters and two representatives of his government and allies across the country and around the world that their living within the balance of the iran deal and they're working and operating within that reality. i think it's a comic in a situation in which donald trump, he's one of the outliers in the global community.

>> jon: of the same time, there's a a piece in "politico" this morning that suggests the president's popularity ratings are ticking upward. >> there falling in love with donald trump again. yesterday looked at the u.n. speech and the harsh rhetoric calling the leader of north korea rocket man after the elton john song. a lot of conservatives were happy with calling out with ac as a rogue regime and who they don't appreciate and don't like. that's something that if they can get behind, i want to flip it back to a domestic front for one second here. we'll see a big test next week and this week, there's a special election and alabama to fill the senate seat where donald trump candidate luther strange is not in good shape and could very well lose to roy moore who steve bannon is backing and also, we'll see another attempt to pass some sort of health care

legislation on capitol hill, some thing the president is pushing for publicly and behind the scenes. the prospects of that, we don't know the answer. >> jon: and will have to see what happens to hurricane maria, whether there are jobs left, that could be another test. >> absolutely. >> jon: interesting times, jake sherman from flickr's playbook, thank you. >> julie: turning to weather, hurricane maria pounding pretty ago, it's one of the worst storms dove her the island. stay with fox news we continue to monitor live from san juan. in all the there. plus president from us putting our korea unnoticed, but it seems the united nations is not going over well with some of our closest asian allies. with the president needs to do now to soothe some of those worries. >> rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. the united states is ready, willing, and able, but hopefully

this will not be necessary.

>> jon: fox news alert and hurricane maria is pounding puerto rico right now after making landfall on the island. the eye has marched across puerto rico from the south west to the northeast. it's now pretty close to san juan. you can see on the right-hand side of your screen, this is the surfline webcam showing the waves on the beach which is a popular recreational and serving beaches not far from san juan, a little bit to the west and north. that island is taking a pounding again as steve harrigan was telling us earlier, the sides have been ripped off of his very well build told there, parts of it. some of the siding has come off in the rain is pounding the island. 25 inches of rain on that very

mountainous island and that's going to cause flash flooding and perhaps mudslides. it's going to be a long time until puerto rico forgets the back-to-back battering that it's taken from hurricane maria and hurricane irma a couple of weeks ago. we'll continue to keep our eye on the island, will let you know more about what's happening there. >> realized that the denuclearization is it's only acceptable future. the united nations security council recently held to unanimous 15-0 votes adopting hard-hitting resolutions against north korea and i want to think china and russia for joining the vote to oppose sanctions along with all of the other members of the security council. thank you to all involved. but we must do much more. it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim

regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. >> julie: president trump address to united nations seems to have caught our allies in asia off guard. china and russia both warned the president's comments could make the situation worse. joining us now, gordon chang author of nuclear showdown. thank you some much for talking to us. china, russia are two key constituents there, two key pieces of this puzzle. basically, he is saying it's time for us to get together or we are going to destroy north korea. in the meantime, they've been side blinded because were talking about tony 5 million people who currently live in north korea and its award in their neighborhood they don't necessarily want. what are china and russia going to do?

>> they're basically following the united states rain now because trump has the initiative. you have to remember that what the president said was we will totally destroy north korea, but that was after the words if we are forced to defend ourselves or our allies. what trump did was he restated the american deterrence policy. he put it into different words in that choice of words is catching attention. not only of the chinese and russians, but the japanese and south koreans as you pointed ou out. >> julie: i want to point out the japanese because they have been extremely silent. definitely a silent considering north korea's most recent launch over japan, but what you make of the silence from japanese prime minister shinzo abe who basically up until now had backed president trump's stance on north korea now not much? >> this is a prizing because he has always been much more resolute than the united states and indeed previous prime ministers have been much more determined than we are. for him on to say anything about this really does take us by

surprise. it really shows that the japanese are now starting to be concerned about the region because we do seem to be sliding to war. we heard h.r. mcmaster, the national secured advisor on friday state time has run out and kim jong un for his part, the north korean leader says final victory which means essentially taking over south korea is going to happen soon. we can see both sides right now are harboring their positions. >> julie: south korean president said they scorched the -- they believe trump committed to peace. he did in his early address the fact that he called him a rocket man and the part of destroying our korea, but he did say this. we believe he has expressed a firm stance regarding the important issue of maintaining peace and security, now facing the international community and the united nations. they want peace and they know they're in direct line of any

potential threat from earth korea. what you make of possible plans for the united states to shoot down any future missiles regardless of its trajectory and what kind of danger does that put seoul in? >> anything we do from a military point of view is going to theoretically risk retaliation from seoul. we should be boarding ships, selling missiles to iran and chemical weapons to the syrians. anytime we see those pictures of syria's gasp, thus because of north korea. and we've also allow that to occur by not using these ships. and terms of shooting down missiles, if a missal is going anywhere close to guam, we probably will do that and we should do that because we don't know whether that missile is going to go off the waters which is what they promised to do, the north koreans promised to do, or whether it will land on the island itself. we need to protect americans. guam is part of the united states.

>> julie: he threatened the united seats on the pacific side too. we are taking these threats seriously. gordon jane, thank you so much. >> jon: puerto rico getting lashed as hurricane maria slowly turns across that island. the latest on the path of this cattery 4 storm ahead. plus another natural disaster, glass shattering, buildings crumbling, when a major earthquake rattles mexico. the latest on survivors there. i count on my dell small business advisor

powerful monster category category 4 hurricane, the spokesperson for porta rico calling it total devastation sing puerto rico will not be the same. this is something of historic proportion. maria is not done yet. so far killing seven people on the caribbean islands nation of dominica. of course, the virgin islands and its direct path as well as a pummels that area already completely devastated. there are 40,000 people currently homeless due to hurricane irma after that monster storm blew through the u.s. virgin islands, that area and desperate need of help. the u.s. coast guard is obviously a big part of rescue and relief efforts in fact, will be speaking with the public affairs person from the u.s. coast guard seventh district about what is being done to help all these people. stay tuned to that. >> jon: the search for

survivors continue this morning in mexico city after a magnitude 7.1 earthquake killed at least 200 tony five people and caused entire buildings to collapse. and housley joins us with more -- adam housley droids with more. >> that number is expected to go up, also some other -- they have structural engineers, they have medics and also folks who are experts in being able to dig through this rubble, there on the way as well as a team from israel. they're heading there as well. about 70 or so miles south of mexico city parade the video and pictures upcoming overnight and this morning are beyond dramatic. large buildings swaying and rocking as the ground shook, but it's really centered on a collapsed school in the neighborhood of villa copub.

it's a southern neighborhood in the city. what's interesting in the video is there literally trying to do this in silence. part of the school is still standing on the outside, they've spray-painted the word which means silence because they're trying to hear voices. 21 of 25 bodies are confirmed to be children that they pulled out of that school. parents are part of this search. there have been reports of text messages possibly coming in from students were still trapped, but you can see the mass amount of people, everyone from military to just neighbors who are digging through with their hands and some cases, trying to see if they can find any survivors in that school. this deadly earthquake struck on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 quake and two weeks after of a magnitude 8.1 in the southern part of the country killing 90 people then. at 7.1, mexico has faced larger quakes, but this one was shallow, mexico city is built

basically on a lake. it was filled in over the last couple of centuries, so filled land, so it's notorious for being somewhat unstable. we know 44 buildings according to the mexico city mayor have partially collapsed. some of the surrounding towns and villages, about 70 have come down, at least in part come down. mexico has a very strong building code and recent years and we see some of the videos over the last couple of hours, you'll see brand-new or nicer newer buildings that are standing that had no problem dealing with this earthquake, but you have colonial buildings also a couple hundred years old and you and some cases that are intermixed and that's the case. we have different types of buildings. if you look, you connect lessee the older ones are the ones that basically crumbled here, but a very dire situation in some cases. the surge centering at least in the video on that school. there are other searches as well

throughout the smaller municipalities nearby. >> jon: they don't have a lot of time to get those folks rescued prethe first when he flowers are critical. adam housley, thank you. >> julie: another potentially catastrophic disaster unfolding and frederico were hurricane maria is slamming the nation. more on the damage and where the hurricane is heading next. plus senator rand paul coming out strongly against the g.o.p.'s last ditch effort to get rid of obamacare. how the president is reacting and what other republican lawmakers are also saying. >> what i would say to senator paul is everybody on the left is accusing me and senator cassidy of killing people, they know this is the end of single-payer health care, and they're worried to death that their dream of civil pair health care ends when graham/cassidy becomes law. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid.

a series of major meetings for president trump. already wrapped upset stones with many leaders. >> julie: now he's mini with british prime minister may chief white house white house correspondent john roberts trenches live, watching all the action for us here in new york city. hey there, john. >> he's got bilateral meetings today. he met with the palestinian president just a short time ago, also meeting with the king of jordan. the president has invested a great deal of energy in pursuit of a peace deal in the middle east. jared kushner, his son-in-law has been leading that effort, making a number of trips to the region. all sides are saying the right things, but an agreement between israel and the palestinians has always proven elusive for many reasons, but the president is holding out hope that this time around, it will work. listen to what he said. >> there's a small period of

time and are going to see what we can do. so when he people have talked about it and it's never happened, but we are fighting very hard, we are trying very hard, we all get along together well, let's see if we can do it. if we do do it, it would be a great, great legacy for everybody. >> the talk of a tone of course in new york city is still the president's speech yesterday. in particular, the part when he said the united states is forced to defend itself or its allies, north korea will be totally destroyed. this morning, the united nations ambassador nikki haley said that there are other military options short of total destruction of north korea, and the military action is a last resort. >> what i can tell you is no one wants war. the president doesn't want more. we have tried to do this through dialogue, sanctions, we've tried every diplomat of measure that we possibly can. we're not giving giving up on that. >> at the same time, the

president is dealing of foreign policy and domestic policy, helping to drive one last effort to repeal and replace obamacare, throwing his full support behind the graham/cassidy bill answering some shade at senator rand paul for opposing graham/cassidy as another boondoggle. the president saying this morning, rand paul is a friend of mine, but he has such a negative force when it comes to fixing health care. graham/cassidy bill is great and obamacare. i hope they will vote for graham-cassidy and replace obamacare. money direct to the states. there been some meetings on capitol hill. we're told the senate republicans believe they are within the 5-yard line and they might get this thing across the goal line. we'll see of senator rand paul gets behind it, we'll see what senator john mccain does as well and i think this thing is still somewhat on life support,

but you never know, they could pull it off. >> julie: john roberts, thank you so much. >> jon: let's talk a little bit more about that bill and a last-ditch effort by senate republicans to try to get rid of obamacare. kentucky senator rand paul saying it's not the repeal the republican promised americans. >> i've seen obamacare up close and personal and i hate every bit of it. i promised the voters for repeal, but this bill actually keeps the obamacare spending and redistributes it among the states. it's a $1.2 trillion federal grant program and that's not repeal. i didn't promise people to keep that trillion dollars putting program and reshuffle the money among the states. this is not repeal, it's barely obamacare lite. it keeps obamacare. it's not wholly promised. >> jon: meanwhile, bill cassidy, one of the lemmings behind's proposal, heading back at paul this morning. watch. >> we've spoken, but he has to

mitigated through tweets his position. all i can say is if you're voting for our bill, you are limiting penalties and giving power to patients and states. if you vote against us, you're voting to keep obamacare. >> jon: joining us now, simon rosenberg and mr. caldwell. simon, do you find yourself as a democrat in an unusual position of applauding rand paul for his opposition? >> i think it's important to recognize the incredible opposition that's come out from the spill from doctors and patients groups and from a public and governors. it is not just rand paul, there's a huge outcry against this because it's going to make our health care system worse. more uninsured, there'll be less money in the health care system. health care workers will lose their jobs and people will lose pre-existing conditions. there's a reason reason for people to be concerned for why they're jamming us through, it's going to bring harm to america,

good for rand paul. >> jon: there are conservative senators who normally find themselves on the same ideological pages rand paul, people like mike lee of utah, ted cruz of texas, who don't seem to like the direction he's going this time. >> at this point, we've tried to repeal in your place it's only times, we can at least i'll come to some form of an agreement with the republican side. >> jon: would you say to senator paul if you are a client of caldwell strategic concerning, say vote for this, get half of vote? >> i would take it the best deal you can. certainly we have some frustrations, maybe if your voice is enough, there may be some additional reform attached. to your point, i think it's a good start, but the recipe isn't complete yet. i like the mandate, i like the fact that it does put some money

aside so they can make their conclusion, but we're talking about health care.33 of our economy, there was an estimate that was put out last year that said about 2017 we have 11.4 million people on obamacare. considering those odds that we know there has to be some form of money still on the table and we can just say, we're going to string it down, i doping that makes sense at this point. we can continue the conversations and try to get as may people on board as possible, but we have to do something because 45% of counties by next year, will only have one insurer or none at all. it's as it has to be done. >> jon: simon, you say milling to people would go insured under this bill and in part because this does repeal the individual mandate that forces people to buy insurance, whether they wanted or not. >> it's going to have the effect of making our health care system farm worse. i'm not going to set here and tell you every thing is great

with obamacare. some of the problems that people talk about have nothing to do with obamacare. there is a bipartisan process underway to try to fix obamacare. that's the direction that we should go. republicans are making a huge mistake. this is anything but conservative. there is no list involved here. we don't know how this is going to work out, we don't have a cbo score. if you look at the financial press of this, their raising their arms up in the air and saying this incredibly risky. this can block the entire medical health care system. i think republicans are making huge mistakes. >> keeping obamacare is something that conservative political parties would do. we're heading at least in a better direction then what we've seen. >> jon: you continue to disagree and we have to leave it there. thank you gentlemen.

>> julie: hurricane maria pummeling recovery now. we went to talk with a coast guard spokesman whose colleagues are responding to the territory battered by the major storm. your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember.

>> jon: hurricane maria a very intense and powerful category 4 hurricane is pounding puerto rico right now. we want to check in with ryan kelly, he is the u.s. coast guard district seven public information officer who joins us now by phone. are there any reports right now of ships in distress or anyone who needs a coast guard rescue that you can't get to reno? >> thanks very much for having me. we do have some initial reports of a couple vessels, possibly to that might be in distress. the details of those in the commit occasions with those, and putting the exact locations and the nature of the distresses are difficult to get exactly at this time because of the nature of the storm and the fact that it

is impeding communication. however, we are working to establish those, get the details and as soon as it's safe to do so, have our coast guard aircraft and boats ready to respond again. as you mentioned earlier, that hurricane is over puerto rico right now. it's a very strong and powerful storm and our folks are sheltering in place including our assets and it's not safe to respond right at this moment. >> jon: we all remember what happened to the l faro two years ago in october when it mistakingly with some bad information entered into the eye of hurricane joaquin and lives on board were lost. in terms of land rescue, i'm sure the coast guard will be involved in that once the eye of the storm passes puerto rico. how soon rethinking you may be able to get your helicopters over the main part of the island? >> our very first priority in the aftermath will be life-saving operations, whether that is on the ocean or search

and rescue which our folks have done quite a bit of recently with hurricanes harvey as well as irma. that will be our first priority is getting our aircraft and people up in the air, out in the water as soon as it's safe to do so to affect those life-saving operations and priority two will be to get resources flowing back into puerto rico. >> jon: given the way these hurricanes irma and maria have taken over the caribbean, are you short of any assets? >> we have prepositioned some of those assets and are getting ready to respond to this storm and that's both for the u.s. virgin islands as well as puerto rico. in the aftermath of irma, we had some resources that had responded to the u.s.

virgin islands and run location helping with the reconstitution and the recovery from hurricane irma. we really located those assets temporarily, but we're ready to respond in the aftermath of maria as well. >> jon: we know the coast guard does great work in these circumstances, so we wish you and your cruise well as they respond to this terrible hurricane. >> thank you very much. >> julie: following the major equifax data breach, one state attorney general asking the two other major credit reporting agencies to prove they have good security measures in place.

>> sandra: coming up on "outnumbered," the iran nuclear deal center stage at the u.n.
