>> we begin with tracking hurricane ian gaining strength and set to hit florida this weekend as a major hurricane. people in the zone prepping for the storm. abc's senior meteorologist rob marciano is in tampa with the very latest. rob, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. our luck may have run out here on the gulf coast this hurricane season. the caribbean has woken up. we have a storm in ian that has plenty of real estate and warm water to strengthen. now 900 miles with where i stand with western florida in its sights. this morning tropical storm ian gaining strength in the caribbean. forecast to become a major hurricane heading toward the gulf of mexico and targeting the u.s. >> unfortunately we expect conditions to become more favorable for the storm to intensify. >> reporter: florida govern ron desantis declaring a state of emergency. leaving residents scrambling for supplies. >> there's no time like now to prepare. get your supplies early. you're going to see a lot of

things empty out of the grocery stores fast. >> i know they're limiting water. we got there at 7:00 a.m. when they opened. there was still some supplies. >> reporter: emergency management officials working around the clock to stay one step ahead of the storm. >> because of the rain making sure the culverts are clear and there's good drainage locations. >> reporter: as floridians prepare for ian, canadians are reeling from fiona. rain and near 100 mile an hour winds ripping off roofs, watching out homes and knocking out power to thousands. the canadian hurricane center called fiona a historic storm for eastern canada. reaching a record rainfall in nova scotia. thoughts go out to our friends in canada and puerto rico. here anxious times in tampa. any time there's a storm in the gulf it's very anxious here because it's such a vulnerable city, a major city to not just hurricanes, but you see the water, to storm surge. even if the center of ian misses us to the west, this city will flood or worse. erielle?

>> rob, hoping everyone stays safe. thank you so much. now let's get the latest from cheryl scott from wls. good morning, cheryl. >> this is our focus. we're paying such attention to the track as we go through the rest of the weekend. tropical storm ian located about 300 miles to the south of grand cayman. currently a little bit disorganized this morning. it's going to continue to strengthen and rapid intensification is expected late tonight and into the day tomorrow. hurricane warnings in effect for parts of the cayman islands. this will intensify to a potentially cat-3 hurricane by early tuesday morning. as we zoom in, you can see that cone of uncertainty here now from the west coast of florida up into the florida panhandle. still the potential of a major hurricane cat-3 hurricane getting close to the coast of florida into the middle of this week. water temperatures are fueling this storm. that's a look at the tropics. now back to janai. >> cheryl, thank you. turning to breaking news

overnight. reports that north korea fired another short-range ballistic missile. abc's britt clennett has the latest from london. this comes a day before south korea and the u.s. are set to begin joint drills. >> reporter: good morning, janai. that's right. south korea says the north tested off the east coast. seoul calling it a massive intimidation. the u.s. says today's test fire doesn't pose an immediate threat to u.s. personnel. we've seen an escalation of tests at a record pace. 30 ballistic tests so far. including the first enter continental test since 2017. often the timing is important to note. this latest coming just ahead of military drills between the u.s. and south korea. the aircraft carrier "uss ronald reagan" already docking in south

korea for those drills. >> speaking of the timing here, vice president kamala harris is expected to be in south korea in the coming days. >> reporter: that's right. harris is expected to meet with the south korean president. he's made it clear he wants to get tough on north korea. what's not clear is whether pyongyang is willing to return to the negotiation table. any recent attempts for nuclear talks have failed. whit? >> thanks, britt. we turn to the war in ukraine as rlosiod of people desperate to flee the country and avoid the draft. abc's tom soufi burridge joins us from kyiv. tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. shocking images out of russia overnight with police beating and kicking protesters demonstrating against the kremlin's new military draft. more than 700 people arrested in protests in more than 30 russian cities according to human rights

battle over abortion rights as the midterm electio approaches. arizona now enacting a ban on abortions after 15 weeks, just a day after a judge upheld a century-old law that jails abortion providers. maryalice parks joins us with more. ng, maryalice. >> reporter: erielle, good morning. in several key states early and mail-in voting is under way. this weekend it's the issue of abortion access front and center in some of those crucial battle ground states, including arizona. just over six weeks until election day a new law in arizona going into effect this weekend signed by the republican governor banning abortion after 15 weeks of a pregnancy. >> you don't like your state laws on abortion, go somewhere else. >> reporter: that new law coming just a day after an arizona judge set an even more restrictive near total abortion ban should also be reinstated. >> women and girls will die because of this. >> reporter: democratic

candidates blasting the decision. >> i'm furious that my 20-year-old daughter will have fewer rights than i did 50 years ago. >> reporter: on the ground, chaos and confusion for doctors and patients. as state officials disagree about which law should take precedence. >> we had abortion appointments booked up for the rest of the month and our providers had to make those really difficult, traumatic phone calls to cancel those appointments. >> reporter: in indiana abortion clinics re-opening after a judge there put a pause on a new restrictive ban a week after it had gone into effect. >> this judge is responding to the need of people to what she believes is a constitutional protection to privacy and this health care decision falls within that constitutional protection. >> reporter: according to our new abc news/"washington post" poll across the country a vast majority of voters oppose the recent supreme court decision eliminating the constitutional

right to an abortion. the poll found americans trust democrats on the issue over republicans by a 20-point margin. we've seen democrats trying to turn out voters on this issue of abortion access. republicans have shied away from this issue. this is important. our poll found the economy, crime, inflation and education were top of the list on voters' mind. 84% said the economy was important in their vote. janai? >> that is a huge number. maryalice, thank you. to talk more on politics, we welcome abc's congressional correspondent rachel scott. rachel, we love having you here in person. abortion is a big issue. as maryalice just laid out, economy, inflation top of mind for many voters. 84% say the economy is important. that's a point of a lot of criticism of president biden and his handling of those issues. >> it's the top two issue for voters when we did this poll. this is a big challenge for democrats and they know it. according to our latest poll 74% of americans see the economy in bad shape.

inflation is at a 40-year high. americans are paying more at the gas pump and grocery store. then on top of that you have more registered voters saying they trust republicans on the issue over democrats. the president's approval ratings are low. when we look at history here, when presidents have an approval rating as low as this president, under 40%, they lose on average 37 seats in the midterm election. >> that would lead many to think this works in favor of republicans. back to the issue of abortion, that new poll shows americans overwhelmingly oppose the supreme court overturning roe v. wade. you've done incredible reporting on the issue. that's going to be a driving force for many voters. in places like arizona is that enough to change the tide one way or another? >> i think democrats are hoping that outrage we're seeing in our poll turns into energy, political energy, that it mobilizes people to get to the

polls. we have seen clues. we've seen signs it's a defining issue for voters. kansas overwhelmingly voted to protect abortion rights earlier this summer. in new york city you had a critical election in a swing district. the democrat campaigning on the issue of abortion. he churned out a victory. aortion rights, though, does fall lower when registered voters are asked what's important to them. >> are most important. changing gears now, the january 6th committee set to hold another hearing. do you get the sense that americans are paying attention and what impact, if any, could this have on the midterms? >> it's the final hearing before the midterm elections coming up this week. it's clear americans are paying attention to the hearings and the investigation surrounding the former president. a slim majority say trump should be charged with a crime. republicans appear to be split on whether or not he should run in 2024. make no mistake about it, trump still has a hold on the republican party, especially when it comes to his false

claims about the 2020 election. fivethirtyeight shows that 60% of americans have an election denier on the ballot this november. >> rachel, we appreciate you being here. on "this week" this morning george stephanopoulos goes one-on-one with president biden's national security adviser jake sullivan about the war in ukraine and those major protests across iran. plus, george has an exclusive interview with senator john barrasso on immigration and the economy with less than six weeks until the midterms. whit? >> janai, thanks. speaking of politics, we are 44 days until the midterm elections. what was a marathon has turned into a sprint. abc news live anchor linsey davis found a unique way to have one-on-one interviews with the candidates. they literally go for a run. in her series "race to november" linsey hit the road with beto o'rourke. he's running to be governor of texas. ran for president.ate.

now running for governor. i take it you like to run? >> well, i want to serve. this is a big moment of truth for us. the rights that we perhaps have taken for granted for women, the right to make their own decision about their own body, or the right to marry the person of your choosing is under attack and on the line right now. >> you can see all of linsey's conversation with beto o'rourke streaming on hulu. coming up in "race to november" linsey runs with dr. mehmet oz in the race for pennsylvania's u.s. senate seat. erielle? >> that looks so great. now to a dangerous trend at schools across the country. in the last two weeks more than a dozen states reporting hoax calls to 911 about school shooters. the fbi is now getting involved. abc's phil lipof joins us with the story. good morning, phil. >> reporter: good morning, erielle. as you point out the fbi is now involved. that should tell anybody

considering calling in a fake threat just how serious this is. calling in a threat, real or fake, is treated the same. it's a federal crime. this morning a troubling and terrifying trend across the country -- fake calls to police about active shooters in school. >> how the hell can you do this to kids? what goes through your head? >> reporter: it's called swatting because s.w.a.t. and tactical teams rush to the schools ready to engage, but there's no threat. friday schools across ohio in seven cities getting the hoax calls. students huddled under desks. parents waiting outside in agony. according to the national association of school resource officers in addition to ohio, these 15 states have been targeted since september 13th. >> that emotional cost of those 20 minutes when we thought there was really an active shooter and so you have all that chaos and anxiety and fear on the part of students, teachers, parents, the

community members. >> reporter: in texas houston's police chief with a warning last week after this response to a fake call at a high school there. >> it's no joke. whoever made this call, understand, when i say all our agencies, including the fbi, we'll trace it down and hold them accountable. >> reporter: the bureau telling abc news the fbi takes swatting very seriously because it puts innocent people at risk. going on to say the agency will investigate every threat. as you heard the police chief in houston say this is no joke, calling in that kind of threat is a federal crime. thursday there were several threats around the houston area. one of them was a bomb threat at a high school. police obviously get geared up. they rush in, search the building. they didn't find a bomb, but they told us they found the student who made the threat. that student was arrested and charge with a felony. very real consequences. janai? >> so many resources go towards

those concerns. all right, phil, thank you. turning to the urgent search for a suspect in a brazen a young man gunnedowfrom behind on a city sidewalk. abc's zachary kiesch is in philadelphia where the crime was caught on camera. zachary, they're still looking for the suspect. >> reporter: yes, jai, morning to you. the search continues. it's an example of the senseless gun violence that's become all too familiar in this country. it's reaffirmed the students at drexel university, the fear they have around their safety. this morning police are looking for the shooting and asking why? why 23-year-old everett beauregard, blocks away from home was shot and killed thursday night near drexel university's campus? it happened in the powelton village neighborhood. video of the deadly attack is painful to watch. you can see beauregard walking home from the train after a night out with friends. he crosses paths with a man.

that man immediately turns and fires and then taking off afterwards. the recent temple graduate was beloved by friends and his college community. police say, again, he caught the train home after a typical night out with friends. this morning the desperate search continues. it marks what has been a tough year for gun violence. there have been nearly 15,000 gun-related fatalities in this country this year. guys? >> incredible number. >> you do shake your head. >> zachary, thank you so much. we have a lot of news in the weather department. multiple storms on the move. let's go back to cheryl scott for the weather around the country. cheryl? >> our focus on ian and we'll have an update on that in a bit. a lot of active weather across the country, in particular the north and east. we're seeing storms developing later today. there's a cold front that will be moving through. there you can see the bull's eye
