100 evacuees. he says he wants to continue helping people in the future. he has a bright one. that's it for me on this show. i'll see you on "the five" in a couple hours. thanks for joining us. here's shep. >> shepard: noon on the west coast, 3:00 in the bahamas. one relief worker says the devastation is apocalyptic. thousands of homes and lives in ruin. we're on the ground hearing from survivors and those pushing to help. >> they need every piece of help they can get. it's devastating. >> shepard: that's all ahead. we have the latest track. it's hurricane dorian heading up the east coast. if those of you in the carolinas thought you were in the clear, you were wrong according to the national hurricane center. forecasters say this storm will be dangerous and millions are now ordered to get out of the

way. also, new accusations about a major american university in the college admissions scandal. documents apparently reveal how some less qualified students became v.i.p.s thanks to mommy and daddy's money. plus, for the first time, a state is about to ban many e cigarettes. the reason and the reporting begins now. our reporting begins with georgia and the carolinas preparing to face hurricane dorian's fury. the search for survivors is underway now in the northern and northeastern and western bahamas after the storm wiped out entire communities and killed at least seven people. we're hearing terrifying stories from people that rode out what created this. widespread catastrophic damage.

the hurricane hit the abaco islands and decimated it. it took the brunt of the storm. one woman said she was floating on a mattress with her children and her dogs on the second florida of a home. the flood waters rising so high, they were a few feet from getting trapped against the roof. look at all left behind. volunteer rescue teams using boats and a bulldozer to try to reach families in smashed and flooded homes. the storm destroying nearly half of all homes on grand bahama island and the abaco islands according to the red cross. half of them are gone. u.s. coast guard helicopters have helped dozens and dozens of people and president trump says more aid is on the way. >> a big section of the bahamas was hit like few people have seen before. we're helping in a humanitarian

way. >> shepard: yesterday we showed you video of the grand bahama international airport. the tarmac submerged, this is what it looks like today. the raging flood waters have receded revealing shredded hangers and collapsed buildings. take a look at the track as just updated in the last hour from the national hurricane center. right now the storm is here east -- well, almost due east of jacksonville. it's headed northwest at the moment which brings it perilously close to charleston. the charleston area, they believe, according to the national hurricane center center may receive flooding up to ten feet. there's a high tide coming in at that time. so ten feet above high tide would love a lot of coastal properties in those barrier islands and beyond flooded and severely damaged potentially. up to myrtle beach. that whole area between charleston and myrtle beach expected to get a storm surge up to ten feet above the high tide. then up to wilmington, morehead

city and cape hatteras eventually. that's all the way out till friday. think of this. by saturday on long island, new york, they're expecting 30 miles an hour or so winds. a storm surge and raging seas. that's saturday. much more than a week after all of this began. steve harrigan kicks off our storm coverage. he's in nassau, the capitol of the bahamas where the coast guard is staging and trying to mount rescues. steve, they have a lot of work ahead. >> certainly do, shepard. it's slow-going for a lot of reasons. you can hear the helicopters behind me. over my left shoulder, you can see a small group of people. most of them have been here all morning. those are people waiting to find out if relatives are dead or alive, if people will get off the helicopters. we've seen a steady flow. one or two at a times. people getting off helicopters, some with broken arms, broken

legs on dialysis, diabetics getting into the ambulances and moving into hospitals here in town. the ambulances on those northern islands of grand bahama and abaco islands destroyed by this storm. it's a very unusual thing when you talk to people who get off of the helicopters and ask them what was their worst moment. every one had a moment that was life or death. here's a story. >> what was your worst moment? >> the worst moment is when the roof started to tear off. it was very fearful. it was like do i die? we thought that was it. it was me, my mom, my son. we were confined to one room. the walls were shaking. everything was shaking. the water came up in the room. it was real bad. >> almost sounds like a scene

from a movie. the roof is gone and the walls are closing in and the water is rising. she made it out like many others stunned coming off the helicopters. >> shepard: very curious about the rescue efforts. have they gotten on to abaco and grand bahama and able to help people out? >> it's challenging for a number of reasons. main airport in freeport is pretty much under water. that's ruined. abaco is blocked by a lot of trees. we haven't seen any fixed wing flights. it's all helicopters. the u.s. coast guard and border patrol rescuing people around the clock. we've also heard some disconcerting reports about violen violence, looting in the area of abaco island. we haven't confirmed it but a number of people that have gotten off the helicopters have said there's looting and rock throws. so security concerns as well, which will only complicate

things further, shepard. >> shepard: steve harrigan, not surprising. you know, after a disaster like this, steve, when you're on an island and there's no available food and no available water, some people resort to what they can do to keep water in their children and food in their stomachs. >> yeah, you call it stealing. i call it feeding my kids. it's a tough situation to be in. the physical damage is clear when you see the destruction from the air especially. i guess what really impresses me are just how dazed some of the people are. when you talk to someone a woman and she says i have nothing, i have not my house, my family, nothing and we're really hearing it over and over again. this is a population area of about 70,000 people. 60,000 of those people are in pretty bad shape on a flat island with nowhere to run with 185 miles per hour winds for three days, shepard. >> shepard: it's incredible to think about. steve harrigan, thanks so much.

many of us go back to the time around hurricane andrew in south florida when everything was just sticks that used to be home. in new orleans, where everything was flooded and then in south mississippi where everything was reduced to rubble or after the hurricanes on the east coast of the united states. in none of those positions were they on an island where everything is wiped out, there's no clean water, there's no food, there's no shelter. it's 90 plus degrees, 100 plus with the humidity. with babies and elderly people that need food and water and medicine. and they have nothing. let's bring in jack parrish, the flight director for the noaa hurricane hunters. it's about the flight into the storm again. i understand you're in a flight briefing now. i guess one of the headlines is the storm isn't as strong. but it's a hell of a lot bigger. >> yes. that's something that we

specifically expect to see. the radar from jacksonville is showing a very large high, a very extensive area of hurricane force winds and a long tropical storm wind area. that track going up to hatteras. we can expect eye walls and some hurricane force winds along the coast as every one along the coast getting tropical storm force winds. a lot of coastal erosion and beach damage and the inland flooding that comes with these things as they spread out. >> shepard: the latest we've seen from the national hurricane center center suggests parts of the carolinas from charleston and north are going to get some extreme storm surge. parts of the carolinas are going to get that eye wall on shore. how bad is that eye wall now? >> typically the eye wall is the area that has the hurricane force winds. it's come on pretty darn fast.

it's the area of the greatest hazard for us flying through the eye wall. we see the winds ramp up suddenly and then they drop off suddenly as we come into the eye. this eye is about 55 miles across. that is a pretty big swath of hurricane force winds if you happen to end up under and in the eye wall. >> shepard: so what we're saying, all along the carolinas coast, you need to be ready. if you're told to evacuate, that should have happened. if not, makes plans. one more thing, jack. after katrina, it came ashore weaker than it was. katrina was a monster of a storm. but it was a category two when it hit. the storm surge that had come from that massive category five was still 32 feet tall and decimated the coast of mississippi. will this storm still have a big storm surge that it's diminished and strengthens and the pressure has gone up?

>> yeah, shep. that's what happens. we saw so much energy near the center of the storm and when it was over, abaco and grand bahama island. we expect that energy to be spreading out widespread and to be working its way all the way up the coast. so the on set of the surge will be sooner. the big waves from the tropical storm force winds will be sooner. it's just going to be sort of a nightmare all the way up the coast. certainly not as bad as grand bahama island. we feel bad for our friends there. we want everyone to pay attention to the emergency managers and take the actions that they need. >> jack, certainly do appreciate it. jack parrish who is about to fly into that hurricane and bring us a new update. the next official update from the hurricane center, 5:00 p.m. eastern, 4:00 central. there's breaking news now in brexit. there's new volume in the past

couple days. now the brand new prime minister, boris johnson, is pushing for a new election next month after parliament just took a step to blocking the so-called no deal split with the european union. yesterday the brand new prime minister lost his majority in parliament in a dramatic move. as with all things brexit, this is one piece of a much larger puzzle. if lawmakers are able to stop britain from bailing from the european union, the prime minister is threatening a snap election scheduled for october 15. in other words, he says if members of parliament won't let him go forward, he will find new will. in addition, october 15, if he wants to, he could delay that vote until after the brexit deadline, october 31. then britain would just exit with no deal. it's very much like exiting a

marriage without a divorce. what happens to the kids? what happens to the properties? what happens to the money? what happens with the debt? what happens with everything? no deal. which could create in a family chaos. well, imagine this. million people that are britains are working, somewhere else in europe. can they travel back and forth? what about shipments of food coming in? shipments of goods going out? what about travel for everyone? what about the economic system and dealing with the e.u.? no deal for everything could be a disaster. now members of parliament are trying to keep that from happening. more breaking news. just in to fox news, a jury has just found president obama's former white house counsel greg craig not guilty on charges of lying to federal investigators about his work for ukraine's pro russian government back in 2012. greg craig pleaded not guilty. let's bring in catherine

herridge with the late-breaking developments from washington. catherine? >> we've confirmed that the jury has found greg craig not guilty on this count of misleading justice department investigators about this contact on behalf of the ukraine. this was an issue related to something called the foreign agents registration act. what is striking about this verdict, it came down so quickly. the jury just got the case about four hours ago. they had one question for the judge and the anticipation is that they would probably break at the end of the day and resume deliberations next week. but they have come with a verdict of not guilty on that count, shep. >> shepard: catherine herridge live from washington. back to the brexit deal, which is breaking before our eyes. these are live pictures in parliament. members of parliament speaking. let's listen.

>> i look forward to any challenge standing in the scottish 20 seats. we will take the fight to those constituents over the course of the coming weeks. >> shepard: so what they're talking about and we'll keep watching is this. mps or members of parliament have cleared a second hurdle to block a no deal brexit. boris johnson got into office by saying we're getting out of the european union. that's it. that was hit whole message. if there's a deal with the europeando europeando euro union, if we have a deal, great. if we don't have a deal, if we don't have an agreement, then we're exiting anyway and we're doing it, you know, ironically on october 31.

on halloween day. so they couldn't get a majority together in parliament. there's three camps. there's the brexit no matter what group, that's one group. there's the we want a brexit with a deal only group. and then there's the remain group. everyone is leave or remain. those three groups are split just about evenly. so they can't get a majority together for anything. as a result, there's been chaos. boris johnson said look, here's what we're going to do. she went to the queen and said i want to suspend the parliament. in other words, send the parliament home so they can't do their work, so they can't come up with a way to block boris johnson for allowing britain to leave the european union without any sort of deal. so he suspended parliament with the queen's blessing and said we'll have a lot fewer legislative days and they won't be able to get anything done. well, yesterday after the summer

recess, they came back in and thwarted all of that. it was the first prime minister speak time. they call it prime minister's questions before the parliament. the prime minister, boris johnson, was speaking and explaining what would happen. you know how raucous it is. while he did that, a member of his coalition, stood up, walked across the road and sat next to another party's group and said i'm not with him anymore. he lost the majority. he lost the ability to lead. it's largely symbolic. but a major symbolic move for people in great britain and all over europe. all of this matters to the entire continent and the really the whole world. and then there was a vote. the vote was specific. we want to block boris johnson's ability to allow great britain

to leave the european union if there's no deal. we want to wait three more months to come up with a deal with brussels. so another hurdle has been cleared. now boris johnson is challenging jeremy corbyn. labor members are accusing him of running down the clock. the government is reeling from this defeat in the house of commons as the torys that lead things, the governing party, 21 of them voted against their own party. they were expelled from the party because the prime minister said if you vote against me, i'm kicking you out of the party. 21 of them voted against him, a lot more than they had anticipated. sure enough, he kicked them all out of the party. now the prime minister is pushing on with this october 31

deal. deal or no deal, we're out. the labor party wouldn't support that. he doesn't have enough votes. now they're arguing about it into the evening. remember, they're five hours ahead of us. so it's 20 minutes past 8:00. the vote that put all of this together happened about 10:00 east coast time last night and they're literally in chaos in great britain at this hour. it came in his first week of leadership. now there's questions about whether he will call a snap election. in other words, if you lawmakers won't give me the votes that i need to get out of europe with or without a deal, if you won't give me the votes, we're going to hold a snap election. i'm going to hope to find members of parliament that will give me the votes that i need to get out. of course, these are two historic defeats for the prime minister. now he's facing the possibility

of losing his ability to lead. amy kellogg is following all of this for us. she's live from across the pond. amy, i don't know if anybody expected this would go down in this way. >> no, this is unchartered territory. an interesting thing to point out, britain does not have a written constitution. there's no precedent for some of this. so they're making it up as they go along. there's talk that this bill that parliament passed today to block britain crashing out of a deal, that being filibustered in the house of lords later in the week. that is one thing that may happen yet again to work in boris johnson's favor. and then this proposal for a general election. boris johnson called for one on october 15. the opposition has to agree on that or 2/3s of parliament have to. what jeremy corbyn, the opposition leader, the man that boris johnson would stand

against, has called this request for a general election tool to avoid scrutiny. so this country has been quite divided over brexit. as you can hear in the house of commons, there's even more screaming and shouting than we're used to hearing, shep. >> shepard: amy, we're going to listen in for a second so our viewers get a feel for what it's like. >> i've got a rusty old heap of a car. it's yours for 15,000 pounds. i'm sure he will just take it without looking at it any further. but when this house was presented with a withdrawal agreement by the previous administration, i obviously voted against it because i felt it was a lousy, rotten deal. i don't need to put those objects further tonight. but there's others and i'm looking at them. i'm looking at those many others who voted against that deal and

now defunct withdrawal agreement because of pure harty politics. let me make progress. they claim they wanted a deal. as we know that withdrawal agreement gave homage to the e.u. that many of them now seem to crave. what is now clear, mr. speaker? this house would not agree a deal even if it were gold plated. this house no longer reflects the will of the people of this country. >> shepard: so the biggest problem at this moment is the backstop with northern ireland. the european union says if this stuff doesn't go well with you, great britain, we still have to have a way to get stuff and people in and out of northern ireland. so that backstop has been the thing that has absolutely

prevented any progress. and brussels has said water not dealing with you anymore. we're not going to have any substantive talks with you. the deal is on the table. take it or leave it. boris johnson has said we're having talks. but it's clear there's are no talks now. because one side wants something that the other side won't give. neither side is budging. ryan heath is with us. he's been following this brexit deal for three years. are they in a position now where all they can do is delay and even that will be difficult? >> we've seen delays already. so having another delay gives some semblance of a chance of a managed brexit and this process going more smoothly. boris johnson would like this election. we're not sure he's going to get it. there's some fundamental problems with corbin's

opposition labor party. they're far too socialist. they're not pro european enough for many people that do support the e.u. and boris johnson would rather roll the dice than get in any form of discussion about delaying brexit again. that's why he's going to push for this election. >> shepard: there's no way boris johnson could have thought when he went to the queen and said let's suspend parliament, there will be a deal or not deal, we'll hard brexit or if we need to. the idea that he might have had these votes against him and and the parliament might havover taken his power, that wasn't even on the radar, was it? >> absolutely right, this is humiliating for boris johnson, this is a symbol for the fragmentation in british poll tox. there's four or five parties filling up the political spectrum. that said, boris johnson is a

gambler. he gets this right, if he gets the election, he's in a good position to win and move on to maybe become one of the most consequential prime minister in decades if not this century coming. he has a lot of road blocks. he thought the parliament was a pushover and we all thought that. and people out on the streets and in these other pro e.u. parties are more organized than people that have been sitting inside the house of commons. so it's going to be a tough battle for boris johnson even if he does get the election he wants. >> shepard: ryan heath from political live with us. ryan, thank you. think about the big picture context. a couple of months ago this wasn't a major concern because the european economy was in such good shape. now the germans have real problems. the italians are showing real problems. there's widespread concern that if this brexit happens without a deal like a divorce with no agreement, if it happens in that way, the whole economy could

teeter and it could plunge them into a recession that is already on the horizon. there's already one working in germany and arguably in italy. the rest of the continent was in pretty good shape, this is the sort of thing that could tip that. and it's the exact thing about which people across the continent and across the united kingdom are concerned and could affect all of us eventually. back to domestic matters. hurricane dorian moves up the coast. mandatory evacuations are in place with officials warning this is the last day to get out. those that thought in the carolinas that this was not going to be a storm for them no, storm surge or hurricane force winds, they were wrong. the hurricane center now says this will skirt the carolinas. parts of north carolina and south carolina could get an eye wall and it's still a powerful category two. parts of charleston, south carolina could be according to the national hurricane center in a bit of

trouble. potentially the worst flooding in decades as our coverage continues after this. too many people in pain settle for

>> shepard: hurricane dorian update coming up. we've learned that the prime minister will give an address to the nation after hurricane dorian devastated the island at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. there's going to be live coverage in the united states. part of the reason for this sort of thing in a place where so many of those affected can't hear it or see it is to let the rest of the world know how much help they need. because this is a historic and unprecedented level of destruction. on great abaco, across grand bahama, there's neighborhoods and communities that to longer exist. we're told from the very beginning that a not smart

percentage of people stayed behind and many of the homes sadly no longer exist. there's foundations only in community after community, especially along the part where the eye came ashore on abaco in a town called marsh harbor. nothing but the floor where the house was. the houses are just pieces of wood that are gone. where the people are is frankly and sadly anyone's guess at this point. this is a live look at jacksonville beach. if you watch the waves, they've been lapping up on the p.m. eastern, which is not something that never happens. it's high tide. there's a new moon. this is going to get worse before it gets better i'm told by the national hurricane center. hurricane dorian creeps up the east coast. georgia and the carolinas are next. especially in the coastal areas, they're bracing for flooding

according to the national hurricane center and powerful winds. hurricane force winds in some places as this slow-moving storm creeps north and turns to the east. rick reichmuth is tracking it. when is this eastward turn expected? >> it will happen overnight tonight. it will make a turn to the northeast. i just -- remember last year we had hurricane florence that hit and brought us record-breaking rainfall? the biggest we had ever seen from any tropical season. we have droughts coming. they've been really dry all winter long. it's not a super saturated grounds. that maybe helps. category two storm, moving over the gulfstream right here. we're not talking about a storm that is strengthening but not weakening at all. the satellite image makes it show well-organized. it's in that curve there of the

coastline that kind of goes in from florida, georgia. the rain that you see here is extreme. most of it just offshore getting some of these bands that move along the shore. we're just far enough offshore that the heaviest of the wind and rain is offshore. just barely. it's going to continue to pull off to the north and eventually make this turn. all of the models that we look at are really good agreement. the national hurricane center center here along the coast. kind of the northern part of south carolina coast and then we go in towards north carolina. i think we'll get either a landfalling storm or the center along the coast. all of the models are in good agreement. we'll show you what the radar looks like over time. tomorrow morning, charleston, south carolina, storm surge up to seven feet. maybe ten inches of rain or so. winds, hurricane force. look at this. the center of the storms goes across south carolina, north carolina. brings rain far in as well.

some spots, maybe 10-15 inches of rain. that will extend across areas of virginia, up to delaware as well, maryland. a lot of people getting a lot of rain and a high risk for flash flooding anywhere you see this pink. anywhere you see the red. a lot of rain to come with the storm surge. not what it would have been with a category three, category four. we have a cat two along the shore and will cause damage. people need to be prepared. >> thanks, rick. rain from hurricane dorian is already hitting the carolinas. reichmuth and his team say it's set to move in tomorrow night or early friday. look at some of the storms surge warnings that are in effect. the storm surge is the pink areas. so from titusville a warning in florida up to daytona beach, palm coast, jacks. all along the georgia coast.

see how far along it goes. in brunswick, savannah, charleston. so many low-lying areas. around savannah to myrtle beach, that's the worst of it. five to eight foot storm surge there. that's above high tide. so it's a lot of water. you get to wilmington, cape hatteras, inland, up to virginia beach, 4 to 6, 4 to 7 feet of storm surge there. in north carolina, mandatory evacuations in place for all of the state's barrier islands. the governor says the state faces an imminent threat. south carolina issuing mandatory evacuation nor the entire coastline. that affects 800,000 people in south carolina alone. first, dorian will pass near the georgia coastline with lots of rain and wind and storm surge. mike tobin reporting live in savannah. hello, mike. >> hi, shepard.

one observation that we're making as we're getting the outer bands, we're two hours past high tide. if you look at the savannah river, the water is not going down. it's staying where it was. we're getting rain that increases and decreases. we're getting some gusts of winds from the outer bands. the concern is the water and the amount of people that decided to ride this out in tybee island and the other coastal areas. highway 80, which connects the mainland to the barrier islands, that's under water. the real concern will come around 1:30 a.m. when it's high tide again. the eye of the storm, which is to the south and east will be closer at that point. there's every indication the connecting roads with the barrier islands will be under water. something the governor stresses, the people that haven't made a break for will be on their own. >> we're very worried especially about the barrier islands, getting cut off if we have the storm surges at the same time

the hurricanes coming through and when the high tides are. i've told folks, if you get cut off, we can't get medical assistance to you. >> the police in the barrier islands are down to a skeletal crew. in tybee island, once the wind reaches 40 miles an hour, it's not safe. so if you have a medical emergency, you'll be on your own. also, the state officials are saying that the bridges that connect the mainland with those barrier islands, particularly in the water touches bottom of them, they need to be inspected. so if you ride out this storm, you'll be there awhile. shep? >> mike tobin live. much more ahead on dorian and why one state the blocking most e cigarette pods. it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. we're the rivera family

>> shepard: dorian right now off of northeast florida. so just east, almost due east of jacksonville. it's battering the shore there with heavy winds and rain. the concern about jacksonville is that the storm will come so close and with those counterclockwise winds will push so much of its storm surge that had built up over its time as a

cat five storm, now it's hit warmer waters and the fear is that it will push that wall of water, that storm surge, into jacksonville and while the winds won't be nearly as catastrophic as they were before, the concern is that the winds and the rain will inundate the jacksonville area with water. this is the jacksonville pier. you can see the waves lapping up upon it. this we're told is going to get worse before it gets better. we're starting to hear from more of those that survived hurricane dorian in the bahamas. some of them are telling about how they made their way to their attics and then their rooftops as the tide pushed in to their homes. some are waiting to find out where in the world their loved ones are and if they're alive. we spoke with denise lewis on monday as she waited out the storm. she said her grandmother needed to be rescued from her home here. >> anyway that someone can get to them, the water is so high

that they can walk through the water, they're asking for someone to come on a boat. in some areas, that is what is happens. people have to be rescued by boat and jet skis and waiting to be rescued. >> she was desperate. she had no idea if anybody could get to them. she was frantic and the hours were like days. but now denise says she just got the best news of her life. she's been told now that a boat crew did rescue her grandmother and took her to shelter. until this afternoon, she hadn't heard from her brother. we just got word that he's been found and he too is okay. denise lewis is on the line from grand bahama. denise, tell me how you're feeling. >> right now, you know, i feel relief, you know? it's not a good feeling not knowing where your loved ones are. you have no communication. you're just worrying and hoping

and praying for the best. >> shepard: you know, we look at these pictures, denise, from abaco and especially marsh harbor and across grand bahama. you wonder how anybody could have survived in certain neighborhoods. it's horrifying. >> yes. there were reports coming in, you know, some -- the water was so high that they have to go into the attic of their home. they have to break out of the attics of the home. there's still people in the attics waiting to be rescues. if you look to the side, you can see rescue teams, helicopters traveling back and forth since this morning. they're still rescuing people in person. >> shepard: you know, it's almost impossible to bring together the statistics. it's so spread out, there's no communication. everything is flattened. but it sounds like thousands and

thousands and thousands of people may be unaccounted for. >> i'm not sure of the number, but there are lots of persons that are still unaccounted for. family members are still making pleas. the phone communication isn't 100%. it's in and out. so a lot of people's phones have died by now. so every timebook, every time i look, another group of people looking for loved ones. people have not heard from people since saturday or sunday. it's horrifying. >> shepard: denise lewis, do you have what you need? do you and your family and the people around you have water, food and shelter? >> right now, water is a real, real essential. we are trying to get water. i'm out of water right now.

i have taken in about 25 persons in my place. >> shepard: you have 25 people in one place? >> yes. that's including my six children. >> shepard: goodness. do you have any idea when people may be able to reach you with clean water and food to eat? >> we have no idea when we'll get some water at this time. just have to keep going out and see if any water is in stock anywhere. >> shepard: our thoughts are with you. america is with you. it's our understanding from our government that we're rushing to the rescue. i know a lot of bahamians are out on their jet skis. bahamians, i'll tell you, they're a resilient bunch. they will fend for themselves and fight for themselves. when you do have something, when it doesn't exist, if it doesn't exist, you can't get it.

so it's coming. we're sure hoping for the best. we hope you stay in touch with us. >> yes. thank you so much for your concern during the days after the storm. >> shepard: all the best to you and yours. we're thinking about you. man. counting your blessings day to day if you think you have it bad, imagine being on abaco or having a family member on abaco who you cannot reach and about whom you have no information. these are the worst of times. the supermarket chain kroger here in the united states is asking customers to stop openly carrying guns in their stores. of course, in areas where open carry is legal. the exception anyone that works in law enforcement. the reason is clear. you see somebody in kroger and, you know, there's been so many mass shootings in public places, it can create chaos. the announcement made hours after a statement from walmart when they asked their shoppers to please don't bring in weapons

both deny involvement. e-mails with usc officials show them weighing how much money they could donate to the school when considering admission. that's according to the new court documents. a lawyer for two of the parents filed the documents yesterday in a federal court in boston. the documents show color-coded spreadsheets about potential students with labels in the color-coding including father is a surgeon or previously donated 25k. in one instance, the officials made fun of an applicants grammar but said he was good enough for shag balls for the tennis team. the lawyer says the records show usc is not a victim in the case but instead fuelled the process by considering how much money people could donate if their children are allowed in.

usc said it was an effort to distract from the fraud charges. a judge in boston has suggested delaying sentencing for the parents. he wants to hold a hearing to see if they caused anybody financial harm. leading experts suggest the parents could end up with lighter sentences. criminal defense attorney ashley merchant with us now. this sounds like a beat of a seat change. >> definitely. i think this is smoke and mirrors. they're trying to detract from the fraud that their clients are alleged to have committed. the judge said he wanted to delay sentencing because in the federal court system, whether or not there was financial harm to a victim matters for sentencing. we have these very strict sentencing guidelines that the judge has to follow. if the damage to the victim is less than that lowers the sentence that these folks are facing. >> shepard: i wonder how that affects the cases of people that decided to fight.

for instance, lori laughlin who said i'm fighting this. >> it's not a very good defense to say well, you know, i did it but so did everybody else. that's what it seems like they're trying to get the documents to do. i might have bribed officials or people but everybody else made these donations. very different when you make a donation to a school versus paying someone to actually bribe and commit fraudulent actions. that's the difference. we don't like to hear that college admission folks are doing this but it's not necessarily illegal. what they're alleged to have done is. >> shepard: thanks, ashley. >> thank you. >> shepard: youtube slapped with a $170 million fine to settle claims that it collected kids personal information. this specifically involves children under the age of 13. under federal law, companies are not allowed to collect or share their data without parents

permission. they didn't do that. google owns youtube. it will have to pay $136 million to the ftc. it's the ftc's largest fine against google today and $34 million will go to new york state to settle similar actions. so what about the parents? folks with youtube say it's intended for kids ages 13 and older but many channels feature videos of cartoons and other content targeted to children. so for stealing the data, the feds say illegally collecting children's data was extremely lucrative for google. the parent company is valued $820 million. so for steal damage that under 13 defined as .200 worth or ..02%. exactly like finding a millionaire $200. people that live in glass houses might want to think about

evacuating. the family that lived in this house in north carolina says they're not going anywhere. this house is made almost entirely of glass. the guy that build it says it's strong enough to ride out this storm. he says it's made it safely through hurricane matthew three years ago. >> you can feel the glass vibrate because it's so tall. you know, the first time for us to experience it. so you had 85 miles an hour, 100 miles an hour gusts, i guess. you can feel the house shake a little. >> officials have warned that those that don't evacuate may not be able to get help in time of an emergency. we'll go back and check on that glass house after the storm passes by. the final bell will ring in 15 seconds as we wrap up another trading day. some of the losses that went out yesterday have come back today. the dow up .88%. 29 of the dow 30 industrials are in the green on the session that
