i can't sing it. we have to pay somebody. tucker, god bless you. have fun on your next adventure in your journey. i'm harris faulkner. we're staying on the news all day long, particularly mexico city where they're trying to rescue kids. shep? >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in the east i and 2:00 p.m. in mexico city. teams say they have spoken with one girl trapped beneath a building. she told them there's more survivors with her. now with the wreckage shifting and groaning and more after shocks possible, crews are risking their lives to try to get those kids to safety. hurricane maria roaring across the caribbean now leaving behind absolute destruction. millions of americans in puerto rico now getting an idea of just how much they lost when the storm scoured their island. winds so powerful, they ripped

concrete balconies off of walls and now maria headed for the turks and caicos and the bahamas. president trump announcing bold new measures targeting the nuclear nation of north korea. he says they're aimed at cutting off cash to kim jong-un and his weapons program. more details expected in a live event in just moments. so let's get to it. breaking news this hour. first, the treasury secretary steve mnuchin about to brief reporters on the trump administration's latest move to cut off north korea's cash flow. president trump announcing his new executive order hours ago. it gives the treasury department more power to go after people that do business with kim jong-un's government. the president says it will leave the dictator with less money for his nuclear program. >> north korea's nuclear weapons and missile development is a

grave threat to peace and security in our world and it is unacceptable that others financially support this criminal rogue regime. our new executive order will cut off sources of revenue that fund north korea's efforts to develop the deadliest weapons to human kind. >> shepard: the president making the announcement with the leaders of south korea and japan. the president held separate meetings with each leader. president trump praising china for reportedly telling its banks to stop doing business with north korea. the reuters news agency said that message came from china's central bank, which makes it significant. analysts say it would be a major blow to north korea because china is its closest ally. the executive order also comes just a couple of days after president trump's first speech to the u.n.

the president said the united states would totally destroy north korea if it had to, but hopefully he said it won't be necessary. president trump also said kim jong-un or rocketman, as he calls him these days is on a suicide anything. now north korea's foreign minister has spoken back. >> if they thought they could scare us with a sound of a dog barking, it's a silly dream. >> shepard: sound of a dog barking. the foreign minister says he pity's president trump's advisers. despite the rhetoric, president trump did not rule out talking with the north koreans. >> mr. president, is dialogue still possible with north korea? >> shepard: breaking right now, the treasury secretary steve mnuchin is talking about the new order. let's listen live from new york city. >> president trump's new executive order significantly

expands treasuries, authorities to target those who enable this regime's economic activity wherever they are located. for too long, north korea has evaded sanctions and used the international financial system to facilitate funding for weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. no bank in any country should be used to facilitate kim jong-un's destructive behavior. this new executive order will authorize treasury to impose a range of sanctions like suspending u.s. correspondent account access to any foreign bank that knowingly conducts or facilitates significant transactions tied to trade with north korea. these sanctions will be forward-looking and applied to behavior that occurs following today when president trump signed the executive order.

foreign financial institutions are now on notice that going forward, they can choose to do business with the united states or with north korea, but not both. this new executive order enables treasury to freeze assets of anyone conducting significant trade in goods, services or technology with north korea. it also allows to us freeze assets of actors supporting north korea's textile, fishing, and technology industries. we call on all countries around the world to join us by cutting off all tried and financial ties to north korea in order to achieve a de-nuclearized korean peninsula. as president trump stated in his speech to the u.n., it's time for all nations to work together

to isolate kim jong-un's regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. we will work with our allies and partners to stop from using the global financial system to further kim's reckless behavior. thank you and i'd be happy to take a few questions. >> can you explain how this will affect -- what kind of discussions you and your counter parts have had about this? >> let me comment. i had a very productive conversation early this morning with governor joe at the pboc, the people's bank of china and how we're going to work together. this action is directed at everyone. it's in no way directed at china. we look forward to working closely with them. >> mr. secretary, can i read a quick section of the e.o.? no aircraft in which a foreign person has an interested has

landed at a place in north korea, may land in the united states after departure from north korea. then similar applications to ships. any idea on how many ships or aircraft would be have been affected in pick a year? so we can get a sense of the scale of the impact. >> again, another important aspect of the e.o. besides for us being able to block financial transactions. we'll work closely with the coast guard and others on this. i'm not prepared to give you a number. it's very significant. further, we can put actions against ports as well. >> a couple questions. first one, why will this round of sanctions work when others have failed? >> again, let me be clear. i don't think other sanctions have failed. these sanctions are significant. not only does it allow us to sanction individuals or entities, but it allows us to

freeze or block any transactions with any financial institutions anywhere in the world that facilitates any transactions with the blocked person. >> do these sanctions included a plan to target north korean businesses around the world? >> yes, it does. >> any future sanctions? >> i won't comment on future sanctions. we'll review all options. >> does this represent a rejection or a moving path to the u.n. security council? >> no, i don't think in any way. we appreciate the u.n. security council resolution and the unanimous support to that. this goes beyond it. as i've mentioned, this allows us to block any financial institution that doesn't follow-through on the u.n.

sanctions or additional sanctions. >> when do you expect to make designations -- >> we'll do designations on a rolling basis. this starts today. it's forward looking, not backwards looking. >> can you say more about your discussions with the central bank of china? what do you understand -- >> again, those conversations are confidential. as i said, i had a very productive conversation with them this morning. >> piggybacking on that, the timeline, has there been previous negotiations with the bank of china? >> no, there were no previous discussions. the first time we discussed it was this morning. i called them to alert them of this in advance given their close cooperation with us. >> thank you. so i want to ask part of the same question. that china had given some indication 1 1/2 weeks ago of

some actions. what did they today is separate from what they indicated earlier -- >> i'm not going to make comments about what they did earlier. what they did today is i assume as a result of our conversation. >> can i ask -- >> let's come back to you so we can get other people. >> can you -- do you believe that china's actions today reduce the need for further secondary sanctions on chinese entities -- >> i just commented we look forward to working with them as well as all of our partners. what is important about this is the additional authorities the treasury has. >> can you put this in the context of the president's speech earlier in the week when he talked about more military action? how do these things work

together and what do you expect north korea to do in response? >> i'm not going to comment on what i expect north korea to do. obviously what we've said is the objective, for them to stop their missile tests and give up their nuclear weapons. this is something that has been in the works for a while. i alluded to this about two weeks ago, that i had been discussing this with the president and this is all part of the president's strategy at the u.n. this week. >> secretary tillerson said it took awhile for the last round of sanctions to have an impact or for north korea to be able to feel them is. there a timeline that you're looking at in which case -- >> again, there's no time line. this is forward action on this. again, i would emphasize that we hope that there's voluntary cooperation, but to the extent that we have to cut off banks from the banking system in the united states, which obviously would be significant, we now have those tools to do that. >> do you recall any other countries, central banks -- >> i'm not going to make any comments on confidential

discussions with other countries. again, i'm confirming that i did speak to them this morning. i'm not going to comment on other discussions that are confidential. >> the president earlier thanked president xi for his actions. do you think they were enough? did you call on russia -- >> again, we'll call on russia to do more. president trump and president xi have had productive conversations and we appreciate the way they're working with us. i'm going to take one more. >> i'd follow up on my initial question. you said this was not targeted at china specifically. but china is the largest trading partner with north korea. so can you spell out how this will affect them and how it will affect the u.s. and their relationship with china with regard to north korea? >> as i emphasized earlier, this is targeted at north korea and

anybody that wants to do trade or business with them. we appreciate the relationship with china and look forward to working with them. thank you, everybody. >> shepard: steve mnuchin discussing the new sanctions by the president through north korea with partnership it would appear from a number of nations. he wouldn't be specific about discussions. big picture with the sanctions and the nations coming together what is the goal? john roberts travelling with the president in new york and in the studio with us today. big picture? >> big picture, this is designed to get kim jong-un to the negotiating table. the president was asked, is there still room for dialogue? he said why not. all of this that you've have seen is designed to try to get kim jong-un to the negotiating table to talk about not just

freezing it but to give it up. the president's goal is to denuclearize the korean peninsula. it means freezing it and rolling it back to nothing. one of the big developments is the fact that china finally stepped up to the plate. listen to what the president said china decided to do today. >> china, their central bank, has told their other banks, a massive banking system, to immediately stop doing business with north korea. i thank president xi of china for the bold move he made today. this is a somewhat unexpected move around we appreciate it. >> right now the president is speaking with president erdogan from turkey.

they're having a bilateral meeting and the pool is there. let's watch. >> thank you very much. a great honor and privilege. he's become a friend of mine. i want to introduce president erdogan of turkey. he's running a very difficult part of the world. he's involved very strongly and he's getting high marks frankly. he's also been working with the united states. we have a great friendship. as countries we're as close as we have ever been. a lot of that has to do with the personal relationships. so president, thank you very much. a great honor to have you here in the united states. thank you.

[speaking turkish]. >> shepard: the turkish prime minister edward speaking with president trump. erdogan, a very complicated relationship. let's listen. >> we are getting together with you as a delegation and we will come back to bilateral meetings-we'll assess the current relationships between the united states and turkey and have the opportunity to discuss regional developments as a whole. i would like to once again thank you for this opportunity. thank you. >> thank you very much, mr. president. we appreciate it. thank you all very much.

>> mr. president, when is the last time you spoke with paul manafort. >> thank you, thank you. >> shepard: a difficult set of circumstances here with the prime minister erdogan. he's jailed people by the thousands for speaking out against his government. he's jailed more than 120 journalists, denounced around the world. there's a widely-held belief that he's turning what appeared to be a country on the way to democratization into something akin to a dictatorship. >> the problem here, he's a nato member and turkey is the gateway from turkey to the middle east. you said it's a complicated relationship. a diplomatic way of putting up. >> shepard: i don't know how you resolve it. seeing him up there, as a journalist it affects you the

same way it does me. it's a scary proposition what is happening in turkey, it's against everything we believe in the united states. >> it is. unfortunately, this president, this nation needs to have a relationship with him because of where his country is and where they represent. it's one of those lines that you have to hold your nose to deal with the people you have to deal with. that's probably the case in this point. back to what we talked about prior to going here, china. the move that china made in terms of the central bank telling chinese banks, don't do any business with north korea anymore, that's big. the president said china needs to step up to the plate. when i spoke with the president last thursday, i asked him about north korea and china. he said they're planning some moves with china he couldn't tell us about. it would clearly seem this is it. why it's so important is because

this doesn't work without china's cooperation and china taking stringent measures. always lots of possibilities for cheating, but maybe this is a step down the right direction. >> shepard: china has been clear to say from their perspective, we've done what we can do. the world is pushing us. >> the chinese can do more than they've been doing. >> shepard: obviously. i wonder if this is a change. >> it would appear to be a change. although there's room for cheating. is this china just saying this is what we're going to do or is this china doing what they say they're going to do? >> shepard: the u.s., sanctioning banks, this is a wide expansion? >> it broadens the target environment. there was one chinese bank being sanctioned. this last targeted individuals more than anything. the fact that they're looking at north korea and going to target the north korean textile industry and the fishing

industry. other smaller industries that has nothing to do with the defense ministry, this is trying to put a choke hold on north korea. the president has said he doesn't want to settle for anything short of denuclearization of the peninsula. there could be wiggle room there. i don't think north korea would freeze it up. >> shepard: thanks, john roberts. gordon chang wrote the book on north korea. he's our guest live next. will this work? that's next. when my doctor told me i have age-related macular degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2.

my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything.

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.

>> shepard: new sanctions on

north korea with chinese help. let's go to gordon chang, author of "nuclear show down: north korea takes on the world." gordon, thank you. >> thanks, shep. >> shepard: a bit of a muted response. something about dogs barking. your thoughts? >> yeah, this is extremely significant. what president trump did and what treasury secretary mnuchin is now doing is shutting off the money to the north korean regime. every bank gets a free pass for what they did in the past with their relations with pyongyang. what mnuchin said, look, going forward, if a bank violates u.s. law, it will be designated. you heard that word "designation" in the press conference. that's under 311 of the patriot act. if a bank is so designated, it's cut off from the global financial system because it can no longer transact business in dollars. what the north koreans now will do is try to transact business in other currencies, what the

united states is go around the world and make sure they can't use other currencies. >> shepard: the north koreans didn't say much. they wait awhile. you wonder if they won't wait until all of these world leaders go back to their homes. >> oh, absolutely. the last thing they want to do is engage in a provocation that gives up trump to talk to other world leaders. i expect the north koreans to be quiet a work or so. you heard what north korea say about the words of president trump, like a dog barking. they're seeing that the u.s. can exert pressure on their primary backer. north korea is in a world of hurt. >> shepard: john roberts reports

the big picture is to get north koreans to the negotiating table. does this help? >> obviously negotiations are the preferred way of solving this. i believe we should start the discussions only when the north koreans understand that they have no choice but to disarm. if we start them earlier than that, they will use them to delay to perfect their missiles and nukes. that's what we did in the six-party talks in the administration of george w. bush. we don't want to do that again. the president, our president understands that, and i think we'll see maximum pressure, maximum engagement, which is the buzz phrase in washington. it might work this time if the administration is absolutely determined to carry forward on this. >> shepard: short on time. less likely or more likely to get another missile test? >> there will be another missile test. the north koreans need to improve their capabilities. they want a deterrent. they want to sell these things to the iranians, this is where

we come in. the iranians pay the north koreans $2 billion to $3 billion a year. what mnuchin is doing will cut off that flow of cash if he's successful. we have to be concerned that the north koreans don't switch to other currencies. the one currency we can't control is the chinese currency. >> gordon chang from washington. thank you. >> thank you, shepard. >> shepard: there's breaking news from the earthquake in mexico. moments ago, word that there are no children still alive in that school that collapsed there after tuesday's powerful earthquake. that came from the mexican navy. earlier reports had indicated that up to six children might be alive in the rubble. the associated press quoting an official from the mexican navy says there may still be an adult alive in the wreckage. they believe there is, but no

children. the pile of wreckage shifted dramatically this morning. workers have been trying to prop it up with iron beams. we don't know how many sets of human remains may be underneath. a search and rescue team from los angeles in mexico to help, a photo of them here on a cargo plane. the u.s. ambassador to mexico says they have experts and tons of equipment. mexican officials say so far the quake has killed 245 people and injured more than 2,000. our chief correspondent, jonathan hunt is live at the school. jonathan? >> shep, it's a very tense scene here at the school right now. the school is about 50 yards or so behind me. it's a hive of activity and remains so. rubble being brought out from the scene, loaded on to the trucks you can see here. as we come left and down a bit, you can see the supply tents. these are set up to support the rescue workers in their hundreds

if not thousands of volunteer civilians doing what they can do help in this very intense rescue effort, shep. we have been getting conflicting reports all day as you just pointed out about whether or not there may be any survivors underneath the rubble of that school and whether, if there are, they are children or adults. the latest as you said from the associated press, hearing from the mexican navy, which is one of the institutions involved in the rescue effort, that they do not believe there are any surviving children. they do believe there may be an adult alive. we have heard directly from our sources closer in to the school that a heat-seeking camera has picked up a signal that may indicate that there may be somebody alive. i want to caution even with the associated press hearing this from the mexican navy, there's so many conflicting reports floating around who may or may

not be alive underneath that rubble. it's difficult to take anything with any certainty at this point. obviously the parents that are still gathered here, the parents of the children who are still missing are hoping against hope that their child may still be alive, may come out from underneath that rubble. obviously, shep, we're some 48 hours on from that 7.1 earthquake and with every passing minute, hopes of finding survivors here or any of the other sites begin to dim. shep? >> shepard: much of the focus has been on the school. but you mentioned the other sites. it appears there's dozens and dozens. any progress? >> indeed there's been some progress, shep. we were at an office building that collapsed. you might have live pictures, if not, video from that building. that is in downtown mexico city, an area known as roma.

it collapsed overnight. a miracle there. two women and one man pulled out alive. the search and rescue effort goes on there. we're told by families of people who they believe were in the office building and still missing, there may be 14 people still trapped in there. whether they are dead or alive, we don't know. as the president said, it's a rescue operation. they won't give up until they're certain there's no chances of anybody else surviving. shep? >> shepard: thanks, jonathan. sadly we're watching another unfolding catastrophe and word that parts of puerto rico could be without power for not weeks but months. that's as hurricane maria continues its deadly trek through the caribbean. the latest storm track and how the united states' mainland may be affected. that's ahead. quiet confidence...

>> shepard: hurricane maria is gaining strength as it's moving across the caribbean. as puerto ricans look at the damage that the mayor of the capitol city says some places could be without power for six months. maria is bringing catastrophic flooding to puerto rico. the storm hit the island as a category four storm, 155 miles an hour sustained winds. the strongest hurricane according to the national hurricane center to hit puerto rico in more than 80 years. rescue workers today dealing with downed streets and flooding streets as they try to reach victims that need help. the storm destroyed hundreds of homes and knocked out electricity to the island and brought down cell phone towers and leaving most people unable to call for help or call for family members.

more images to share in the slide show this afternoon. this is typical damage, i'm told. a flooded gas station on the island's east coast. the same area, ambulances trapped under the collapsed roof. the road littered with poles and power lines. look at that. think how long it would take to free up this road and free up the power lines? there's a whole island like that. here's what's left of a house next to the southern coast. the energy management director said it will be a historic event. and this is near punta cana. you can see a damaged restaurant in the area. a category three storm by the time it battered that island today with winds sustained at nearly 115 miles an hour. forecasters say maria regained major hurricane status as it moved off the coast of the

dominican republic today. the national hurricane center here in the u.s. reports that maria is expected to bring dangerous winds, heavy wind to the turks and caicos islands and the bahamas later today. more ahead in the forecast. we're looking at the white spread damage in st. croix and the u.s. virgin islands. it was a cat five monster when it passed over-tuesday. there's more flooding in st. thomas. steve harrigan in san juan with more. >> a couple of feet of flooding around these apartments. many people in their balconies. they're without electric power. people trudging through this water with sticks as guides. older people getting help. it's tough to see people walk through with children on their

backs or carrying their items in plastic. some woman over here chop up wood with machetes and hammers and build a cookout. it's outdoor living at the most primitive. we've seen a hydrant used as a bath this morning, shepard. >> shepard: steve, are they getting the help in the early going? >> when you talk about people inside their apartments often with flood water and holes in the roofs, they say they're not getting anything. it's a do-it-yourself operation. it's people taking rubbish from hurricane irma and trying to use it to prop up a power line that was downed by hurricane maria. using one hurricane to help another. help is on the way from fema and from the coast guard. right now moods are good here. the people are resilient. without help quickly, that could change, shepard. >> shepard: i suspect so. steve harrigan in san juan.

let's get more on the hurricane's path. it's still on the move and head add cross the caribbean. chief meteorologist rick reichmuth in the extreme weather center. rick? >> turks and caicos will be spot that takes the worst of it. winds 20 to 50 miles an hour. still more rain here. flooding. the turks and caicos, it will get there close tonight and tomorrow. that said, we're watching tropical storm jose. up here across the northeast. that has created a weakness in the atmosphere. it's going to allow maria to move to the north. when you look at our reliable computer guidance right now, pulls this up between bermuda and the u.s. at this point it looks like it's going to stay between that area. it's a slow-moving storm. we're going to be talking about a week or so before it gets into this area. more problems for the coast. certainly beach erosion. as long as we threat this needle between bermuda and the east coast, i think we'll be looking

good. the official track from the national hurricane center shows that. keeping this well offshore and then eventually by thursday to friday out to see. any big impacts across the u.s. won't be felt. >> shepard: fingers crossed. thanks, rick. officials in florida have confirmed a tenth person from a nursing home there has died after hurricane irma knocked out air conditioning in the building for three days. health officials are suspending that center's license saying workers acted with gross medical and criminal recklessness. why didn't they call 911 when the temperatures soared into the triple digit and elderly people left to cook. so he took aleve this morning. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill.

irma. health officials ordered the facility to close. this happened in hollywood, floor north of miami. nursing home officials have filed a lawsuit denying any wrong doing. trace gallagher with the details. trace? >> shep, florida health officials are accusing the nursing home of gross criminal and recklessness saying the trained medical professionals at the city overwhelmingly delayed calling 911. the officials say a woman showed up to the hospital with a temperature of 108.3, but at the very same time, she was dying at the hospital, the nursing home recorded her temperature at 101. a 70-year-old woman showed up with a body temperature of 109.9. she died ten minutes later. just hours earlier, the nursing home described her of being alert, recording her temperature at 101. an elled early man arrived at

the hospital with a bluish lip look and a body temperature of 107. the state of florida says this facility cannot continue to have access to patients. shep? >> shepard: nursing home officials, i understand, are fighting back, trace. >> yeah, they are. the facility has filed a lawsuit denying any wrong doing and asking a judge to allow them to reopen. the nursing home contends they spent considerable time asking for help, saying they called the emergency line and left multiple messages to governor scott and made numerous requests with florida power and light. reports with the governor's office show two doctors from south florida visited the residents the day before the tragedy and did not find anyone in distress. the nursing home says its employees took reasonable actions in real time and they're unfairly being criticized based

only on hindsight. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher, thank you. something new has just happened. potentially something very important. facebook has just confirmed that it will indeed share ads that the russians purchased with congressional investigators. thousands and thousands of advertisements during our political season purchased by the russians. this is part of lawmakers' inquiry to russian meddling in our election and details are next. 'member that accident i got in,

with the pole, and i had to make a claim and all that? is that whole thing still draggin' on? no, i took some pics with the app and filed a claim, but, you know how they send you money to cover repairs and - -they took forever to pay you, right? no, i got paid right away, but, at the very end of it all, my agent- -wouldn't even call you back, right? no, she called to see if i was happy, but, if i wasn't happy with my claim experience, for any reason... ...they'd give me my money back, no questions asked. can you believe that? no. the claim satisfaction guarantee, only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it.

>> shepard: we got breaking news just a moment ago. the facebook ceo, mark zuckerberg that facebook just struck a deal with congress to reach details about ads that the russians purchased to influence the 2016 election. more than 3,000 ads appeared to have come from a russian linked firm. facebook reports they will happened over the ads. let's bring in chad day from the associated press. this is a reversal on facebook's part. zuckerberg is saying we have to do this, it's vital for the nation and all of you other media companies you need to do the same thing. >> that's right. so this is a big reversal for them. previously they decided they weren't going to turn over the contents of the ads that they traced back to russian firms that write political, on topics

that were political and social issues targeted during the campaign. a big topic of interest for the committees and leaders of the senate intelligence committee had been turning over for them to turn over the contents to are you very them and see if the ads were targeted at specific groups. >> and how they might have been targeted towards specific groups, whether somebody led the russians toward that. that is the heart of this investigation, is it not? >> that's right. as the investigations are looking at the russian interference in the election but looking to see if there is anybody on the american side to direct where the ads would be targeted. one of the main thing they're looking at, if they're targeted at specific groups that could decrease voter turnout for hillary clinton or increase turnout for trump. so what the committees particularly looked at, that's something that an american political operative would know.

so that's of particular interest to them and looking for whether there was any coordination between the trump campaign and russians is part of this russian interference. so far the committees have said we've seen evidence of coordination but they haven't said anything conclusively. >> shepard: which takes us back to paul manafort who was with the campaign for a short period of time. at any rate, it's clear to investigators that he offered a private briefing to a russian billionaire with close ties to vladimir putin. it appears the feds want to know why he did that and a lot else. >> right. so you know, this is an off of a briefing for a russian billionaire who has been described as being close to putin. this was something that was described in an e-mail between powell manafort and a former worker or former employee of his

a ukrainian national that worked with him on political consulting in the ukraine. so we don't know -- what we don't know yet, a lot we don't know about this point, whether that offer went to the russians. the story was broke yet and it was noted there were no briefings that occurred or whether this offer was actually passed to the russians. what we do know is that the e-mails are legitimate and robert mueller has them in his possession as well as congressional committees. they'll look at this when they look at direct ties or links between the trump campaign and russians. >> shepard: the big picture question, was someone within the campaign directing the russians where to place the ads to help donald trump get elected and hurt hillary clinton's chances to that we don't know the answer. but the special prosecutor is working on it now. chad day from associated press.
