7:05 am
there are a couple of masts here from sailboats, a bow from another, many sinking in a protected harbor. but we were over 150 miles away from the center of the storm missing us, but the wind field so huge, it brought 100-mile-an-hour winds to this island. now, these are some of the most stout buildings i've ever seen so limited damage here, but at one point over half the island was without power. they got a lot of those customers back online today. but any could use the help in canada right now. over 300,000 people without power in nova scotia. here's some of the stunning imaging coming out of the canadian maritimes right now. the lowest pressure ever recorded in canada, and this is the farthest north we've ever seen a category 4 storm. and it's slowing down the canada, so they're going to have this for several days. we're getting high winds in parts of maine as well. what a legacy this has had through puerto rico and bermuda and now into canada. the water temperatures in the north atlantic two to four degrees above average. so climate change is playing a
7:06 am
role and those temperatures above average are alive and well in the northwestern caribbean as well where tropical storm ian is gaining strength. erielle. >> rob, keeping an eye on that, thank you. next this morning, the war in ukraine and some russians desperately trying to get out of their own country following president putin's mobilization of some 300,000 troops to fight in the conflict. abc's tom soufi burridge is in ukraine this morning for us. good morning, tom. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, erielle. russia's referendums in occupied parts of ukraine now under way. surreal scenes of so-called voting there expected into next week. the kremlin preparing to declare those territories part of russia in another major escalation from vladimir putin. this morning, referendums the kremlin way. election officials seeking votes, carrying ballot boxes to people's homes, escorted by armed soldiers. these bizarre scenes captured by security cameras in apartment

7:09 am
the north lawn, and, maryalice, we're learning about some back door diplomacy to deter potential use of nuclear weapons. >> reporter: yeah, janai, good morning. the white house is, of course, watching all of these escalations and threats from russia very closely, and, yes, a u.s. official confirmed to abc news that privately the white house has been sending messages to moscow warning of the consequences of any use of nuclear weapons, and publicly the president too has been calling out russia for making nuclear threats and saying, a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. now, it is not clear exactly how the u.s. would respond in that scenario. officials here telling us that right now they have not seen any reason to adjust the united states' nuclear posture. and yesterday i pushed the white house about those votes taking place in far eastern ukraine. i asked what happens if after russia does declare these regions now part of russia, could that put the u.s. in danger given the u.s. has given billions of dollars in military support to ukraine? could russia claim that american weapons are being fired into what they are now considering
7:10 am
russian territory in that scenario, and the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre told me that as far as the u.s. and g7 leaders are concerned, those votes happening are illegitimate and that the u.s. will never recognize this. >> an alarming new phase in the war. all right, maryalice, thank you. we turn now to the deadly protests in iran. pro-government demonstrators this time out in force countering the days of protests after the death of a 22-year-old woman in police custody. abc's lama hasan is following the developments from london. lama, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, whit. this morning the iranian government is cracking down arresting activists and students following eight days of the largest anti-government demonstrations the country has seen in years. in a stunning show of defiance, women taking to the streets in more than 50 cities burning their headscarves and cutting their hair protesting against the death of 22-year-old mahsa amini, who was arrested in tehran by the notorious morality
7:11 am
police for not wearing her headscarf correctly. amini later died while in custody. now, authorities say she died due to underlying health issues but her family and many death. clashes have been breaking out on the streets. iranian state tv says at least 35 people have been killed so far. now, online the government is enforcing a social media blackout and blocking messaging apps to stop people from meeting up and posting videos for the world to see. secretary antony blinken says the u.s. will ease internet restrictions in iran so that they can get access to social media and other tools, and elon musk tweeted he's activating his satellite internet service starlink. with these protesters showing no signs of slowing down, the question is, is this a turning point for the country? erielle. >> remarkable scenes there in iran. lama hasan for us, thank you. now to that wild week on wall street. this morning fears of a recession are growing. the dow dropping to its lowest
7:12 am
point of the year. so what does this mean for the economy and for your money? abc's senior business and economics correspondent deidre bolton is here now. good morning, deidre. >> reporter: good morning, erielle. it has been a brutal week in the markets. just yesterday, if you looked, the dow dropped nearly 500 point, its lowest level since november 2020. all of this raising concerns from investors, from economists about whether or not we're headed into a global recession. worries obviously showing up in the stock market, showing up in the energy markets, as well. u.s. benchmark oil tumbling below $80 a barrel on friday for the first time since january. these are on concerns that the global economy basically is already here according to some. now, on wednesday, the fed raised rates by another 75 basis points. higher rates means all loans are more expensive. the 30-year mortgage double the rate that it was in january, and the national credit card rate is now around 18%. this is the one-two punch making so many investors anxious.
7:13 am
people are dealing with significantly higher food and rent prices. at the same time as they face these higher borrowing costs, there is one small silver lining of these higher rates. you can earn more in your savings accounts. so it is worth shopping around to get the best possible rates on your money, janai. >> good to know, deidre. to that point about keeping more in your accounts and your pocket deidre will be back in our next hour with details on how to take advantage of the dip in used car prices. so stick around for that. in the meantime, though, the economic news doesn't get any better when it comes to putting this year's thanksgiving dinner on the table. the bird flu is wiping out turkey supplies across the country with birds and eggs in short supply. prices, of course, are soaring. bloomberg is reporting that the price of a turkey is close to 30% higher than it was last year and about 80% higher than prepandemic times. just staggering numbers. >> really unbelievable. we do turn now to the battle against opioids, and this
7:14 am
morning phoenix police are claiming a major victory. detectives with the city's drug enforcement bureau making the biggest opioid seizure of its kind in phoenix police history. more than 1 million fentanyl pills likely destined for the streets. officers executing a search warrant and arresting two suspects who are being charged with multiple felonies. the seizure coming as authorities nationwide are warning that teens and young adults are being targeted. these colorful pills known as rainbow fentanyl are made to look like candy. one expert telling abc news that the recent data show a 40% increase in opioid deaths among teens and young adults due to fentanyl. and in los angeles, in that area over the past month, at least seven teens have reportedly overdosed on pills laced with fentanyl, including 15-year-old melanie ramos who died of a fatal overdose. fentanyl is considered 50 times more potent than heroin, and authorities say they have seized enough fentanyl this year alone to kill everyone in the united states several times over. >> that is just so scary.
7:15 am
now turning to "your voice, your vote." with just 45 days until the midterm elections, early voting is already under way in some states. this morning, we're on the road in arizona where abc's ike ejiochi has the latest and has been talking to voters. good morning, ike. >> reporter: good morning, erielle. football is upon us here in arizona and so are the issues ahead of the midterms, issues arizona voters say should be a main concern for any elected leader. this morning, a 15-week abortion ban passed by the arizona state legislature earlier this year will go into effect. an arizona judge ruling that the state can enforce the ban, which means abortion clinics will eventually close, and women seeking abortions will have to go out of state. >> is there a topic or an issue on the top of your mind that will get you to the polls? >> the abortion issue. i'd like for it to stay legal hopefully everywhere. >> i definitely am going to vote to keep abortion access alive in
7:16 am
arizona and well if i can through the midterm election. >> reporter: less than 50 days out to the midterms, house minority leader kevinen mccarthy outlining the republican party's midterm election to secure the border, fight inflation and hire more police. >> what the commitment is is a plan, a plan for a new direction. >> reporter: here in arizona immigration is also a big concern in the state. arizona governor doug ducey joining several other republican governors across the country in busing migrants to major cities including washington, d.c., sending nearly 2,000 migrants on dozens of buses to the nation's capital so far. >> the fact of the matter is that they're coming, and whether we stop the immigration or whatnot, it'll still happen just like any other occurrence. >> reporter: in this election cycle arizona will feature several republican candidates who still dispute the outcome of the 2020 election including gubernatorial candidate kari lake and mark fincham running for secretary of state. >> it's a federal election. and i think it's a substantial claim to like not believe that.
7:17 am
>> i don't have an issue with them running on that. it's not going to make or break how i vote either. >> reporter: here in phoenix politics and college football is top of mind as the arizona state sun devils take on the utah utes and one thing both sides can agree on is the need to hydrate. over 20 years of drought in arizona fueled by climate change is getting voters thinking about what their elected officials can do. >> start by implementing a few things like we could work on trying to cut back water usage. >> reporter: now water is an issue in arizona which is why hydrating will be key for tonight's game. asu is taking on the utah utes and the temperatures by kickoff will be about 100 degrees and a majority of the voters i spoke to said whoever wins these races, the water crisis needs to be on the top of their minds. janai? >> all right, ike, thank you for that update. next this morning to new details in the death of elijah mcclain, the 23-year-old black man who died in 2019 after an
7:18 am
encounter with police in colorado, who put him in a chokehold before emergency responders injected him with a powerful sedative. abc's zohreen shah has more as the judge is ordering the release of his amended autopsy report. good morning, zohreen. >> reporter: good morning, janai. we know that police put mcclain into a chokehold and an emt injected him with ketamine, a powerful sedative. but the cause of death had previously been undetermined. that has now changed. the colorado coroner's office got a lot of additional information and updated the autopsy report. they are now saying elijah mcclain's cause of death was complications of ketamine administration following forcible restraint. you'll remember mcclain was walking home one night three years ago wearing a ski mask. his family said he wore it because he had anemia and felt cold, but a call came in about a, quote, sketchy person, and police body camera shows officers struggling to detain him. a control hold was applied but they said he tried to grabbing their gun. emts injected him with ketamine,
7:19 am
but the coroner wrote the dosage was too much. mcclain's family did settle with the city for $15 million but all of this comes as the five officers and paramedics are set to be arraigned for mcclain's death in november. whit? >> all right, zohreen, thank you. let's get back to a check of the weather around the country and back to cheryl scott this morning. good morning, once again. >> reporter: yes, good morning, everyone. we are looking at the tropics, and they are continuing to heat up. we now have four named storms, but our focus is on tropical storm ian right now in the central caribbean, and this is going to be the primary concern and focus as we go through the weekend into early next week. tropical storm status currently, winds close to about 60 miles per hour in terms of those gusts but the track here, you can see it moving north rather quickly, and by tuesday into wednesday, entering the gulf, and the bull's-eye right now has it on that west coast of florida and the southeast coast of the gulf. you need to be alert for this. could be a major category 2/3
7:20 am
hurricane by early next week. >> slightly cooler weather by the middle of the upcoming work week. another nice day today. 90 in san jose. the accuweather 7 forecast almost as hot tomorrow. ne in the forecast cone to pay attention through the weekend. now is the time to prepare. erielle? >> got to be on alert. cheryl, thank you. we've been talking about roger federer this morning, but another sports superstar reached a major milestone last night as well. joining us with some of baseball's -- or he joined some
7:21 am
of baseball's all-time greats and you're also great, too. abc's zachary kiesch joining us this morning. >> this morning, st. louis cardinals' albert pujols joining the elite 700 club in last night's game against the dodgers. pujols is now just the fourth player in history to hit 700 home runs. the 42-year-old slugger reached it in front of a packed crowd at dodger stadium last night batting two balls into the stands. the achievement so spectacular, even the rival crowd joined in chanting his name. other games across the country pausing to catch the moment. the dodgers fan snagging that 700th ball. pujols joins mlb legends barry bonds, hank aaron and babe ruth with the feat. really, really remarkable stuff out there in this home run club. now, while they celebrate this remarkable achievement, the sports world is also waiting for another history-making moment from a different player, aaron judge, the yankee outfielder just two home runs away from making history with the most home runs in an american league season surpassing the record of yankees
