3:09 am
3:10 am
now let's go to eric fisher, chief meteorologist at our boston station wbz. eric, where's this headed? >> well, scott, unfortunately we've spent the day watching matthew regain strength yet again. it is back to a category 4 hurricane. you can see those spiral bands as it moves through the toward the state of florida. the inner eye wall right over freeport on grand bahamas, very destructive winds expected there. and it will start to make its way toward the coast of florida as we head into the overnight hours. hurricane warnings are up from just north of miami all the way up the coastline. that's a big factor in this storm, the fact that they go all the way up through the coast of south carolina. and here's a look at the timeline. you see that center as it works its way toward the coast. it may move right along it, just off or just on, but the bottom line is the same.
3:11 am
ashore. and since we have these powerful winds, a big storm surge. if you're in an evacuation zone, heed those warnings. wind is one thing. it is destructive in its own right. but storm surge is the number one killer. they're looking out for your safety. listen to those warnings. the storm continues to track right along the coast as it heads up through south and north carolina inundating it with very heavy rainfall, and that's one thing to watch. as we head toward the weekend, parts of eastern inches of rain in the past month. when you add this much rain on top of it, scott, we could have a very significant flood event unfolding this weekend. >> eric fisher, wbz. eric, thank you very much. most everything we know about hurricane matthew comes from the forecasters at the national hurricane center in miami. earlier today we spoke to the director, meteorologist rick knabb. >> i can't remember a hurricane on a track like this. >> i cannot either. one that has already impacted
3:12 am
impacting the bahamas. so many different land areas. >> it seems, though, with this track right up the coastline, that if the eye of the storm moves a little bit west you could take in millions more people very easily. >> well, slight differences in the track of the hurricane could make a huge difference in terms of the magnitude of the impacts for particular locations. even if the center of circulation stays just offshore, it's easy for the hurricane to bring hurricane-force winds onto the coast, even bring strong winds well inland. every hurricha its own characteristics. matthew's going to write its own story. and i think folks in florida, georgia, and south carolina could end up experiencing wind, water, or both. >> what kills most people in a hurricane? >> we know that historically, last several decades, with landfalling u.s. tropical systems, 9 out of 10 people who have died have died as a result of water. the wind can be damaging and deadly too. all the hazards are in play in an extremely dangerous
3:13 am
wonder, is there anything about this storm that has surprised you? >> what has surprised me is how the scenario has set up such that so many people are in harm's way. and it's amazing how sometimes hurricanes seek out the worst possible paths in many ways and affect so many people. but that's the reality we're faced with. there's no denying it now. this is a serious threat to several states. florida up through georgia and south carolina. the time is now to act. you don't want to just hop >> dr. rick knabb, the director of the national hurricane center. up the atlantic coast folks who live in georgia and south carolina are clearing out of matthew's path. errol barnett is on tybee island. >> reporter: the hunters have called this coastal georgia community home for 40 years. but today they're leaving it all behind. the waters family is doing the
3:14 am
books. i grabbed a wedding album that a girlfriend of mine made us and a couple important papers. and we're out of here. >> reporter: fearing a storm surge of 10 to 12 feet, 15 inches of rain, and hurricane-force winds, georgia joined south carolina today in ordering mandatory evacuations for people on the coast. it also reversed 125 miles of eastbound lanes on interstate 16 a south carolina did the same on i-26 as businesses in charleston boarded up. both states have deployed the national guard and opened shelters for those with nowhere to run. we caught up with the mayor of tybee island, jason buelterman, just before he evacuated. >> you can replace your home. you can replace community buildings. but you cannot replace a human life. >> reporter: the mayor fears the shallow coastal shelf behind me
3:15 am
as it is expected to do. he also tells me the last time a hurricane followed this exact track and gained strength, scott, it obliterated this entire island. >> errol barnett, thanks. well, the world's largest cruise ship ports are closed. some of those ships are riding out the storm at sea. and major airports in florida of course have shut down. here's our transportation correspondent, kris >> reporter: the last flight out of ft. lauderdale left mid-afternoon, leaving workers little time to make final preparations for the looming storm. in west palm beach the check-in kiosks were wrapped in plastic. judy baylyn managed to get a flight to washington today. >> we were the last night out. we were desperate but we were the last flight out. >> reporter: airports in miami, ft. lauderdale, west palm beach and and orlando are closing.
3:16 am
saturday have already been canceled. george hobica tracks the airline industry. >> not only do they not want the planes to be stuck in the path of the storm but they don't want them to be damaged. there are instances where planes actually get tipped off in a very strong wind. so they're going to be moving the planes to a safe harbor. >> reporter: amtrak has also halted service in the southeast through at least saturday. in orlando disney world will be closed at least through friday. just the fourth shutdown in the park's history. the waivers so you can make changes or get a refund without having to pay a fee. scott, the airlines are hoping to slowly begin service as early as tomorrow afternoon but it could take a couple of days to get things back to normal and of course all of that depends on what kind of damage matthew brings. >> kris van cleave, thanks. our team will be back with the latest on the hurricane later in the broadcast. but right now let's go to anthony mason in new york with more of the day's news. anthony? >> thanks, scott.

3:21 am
>> well, because it's not donald trump's position now. >> reporter: the trump-pence website still shows the press release announcing the proposed ban. while clinton also focused on debate prep, her running mate tim kaine tried to make the best of mixed reviews of his debate performance by needling pence for sidestepping many incendiary trump positions. >> i think there's a level of desperation in the trump campaign right now. >> reporter: clinton's camp had to sidestep an embarrassment of its own, reversing a recent move to increase campaign ads on the wech on twitter rnc chairman reince priebus said clinton was exploiting hurricane matthew for political gain and urged her to apologize. trump is here in new hampshire tore what amounts to a tune-up town hall in advance of sunday's showdown with clinton. anthony, on saturday trump will be in wisconsin at an event in the congressional district of house speaker paul ryan. but it is unclear if ryan, the host of the event, and trump will even appear together. >> major garrett. thanks, major. cbs news will bring you live

impact. the crash killed one person and injured more than 100. it's hard for us here at cbs news to believe, but it's been ten years since cameraman paul douglas and sound man james broe brolan were killed by a roadside bomb in baghdad. senior correspondent mark phillips shared his thoughts at a memorial service today in london. >> ten years, eh? if, to coin a phrase, a week is a long time in politics, what's ten years in the news business? concerned, ten years seems like no time at all. judging from our conversations, everybody's approach to this commemoration seems to be similar. has it really been ten years? it seems like yesterday or last week. the shock was so deep and the loss so great that no amount of time can really diminish it. >> ten years ago we promised we would never forget paul douglas and james brolan.

hillary clinton and donald trump are taking some time off the campaign trail to prepare for sunday's presidential debate in st. louis. this will be the second of three planned debates. and it will be a town hall-style face-off with a lot of interaction with the crowd. trump's advisers are stressing the need for him to and not let clinton get under his skin. they say he can take some clues from his running mate, mike pence, who didn't lose his cool in tuesday's vice presidential debate with tim kaine. pence discussed that debate on "cbs this morning." >> i was very humbled, very honored to be on that stage to tell the story about donald trump's vision to make america great again. it was my great privilege to go out. and to be honest with you, i know some people have said i won the debate.
3:41 am
but i honestly believe that donald trump won the debate. it was donald trump's vision to make america great again. it was donald trump's aspirations for this country. the policies he's been articulating that i carried forward -- >> well, you said it was his -- governor pence -- >> i also wanted to draw a contrast in this debate. and as i said, it was a privilege for me to be there. >> governor pence, he's claiming credit. he says it was his good judgment in choosing you -- >> as his first hire. >> yeah. as his first hire. of the good judgment, and are you giving him any pointers? people say you could give him pointers this sunday night. >> well, look, i honestly -- obviously, i'm very humbled by his esteem and by the kind words of others. but i think the reason why donald trump has built an extraordinary business, an extraordinary career is because he has had the judgment to make it through tough times. you saw those tax releases that came out from 20 years ago.
3:42 am
he did that by drawing around him women and men of extraordinary ability and enterprise and i think it's exactly the kind of judgment and exactly the kind of people that he's going to bring around him if we have the privilege of serving in the next administration. >> governor, you said that in the debate you were speaking about donald trump's vision. however, you guys differ on a number of policy issues. so let me ask you specifically about those issues. specifically on the topic of supported a deportation task force. do you also support that? >> well, that came up in the debate and it was quite striking to me. all this talk bay deportation force. we have a deportation force in this country. it's called immigrations and customs enforcement. and for the first time in the history of immigrations and customs enforcement their union endorsed donald trump to be the next president of the united
3:43 am
know he has a plan to end illegal immigration beginning with border security, strengthening internal enforcement you through immigrations and customs, identifying and removing from this country criminal aliens that are bringing violence and crime to our streets, removing people from this country that the law requires leave after they overstay their visa and then saying once we've done all of that -- >> got it. >> -- let's then reform our immigration system. and i'll tell you there's no daylight between donald trump and i on that or any other issue. i truly do believe the american people long for us to end illegal immigration. we've talked about it for decades. let's do it and let's do it in the order that donald trump described. >> governor, let me ask you about aleppo. aid groups say the situation there is dire. there are 100,000 children trapped inside aleppo without food, water, or aid. would you support using u.s.
3:44 am
could get in? >> well, donald trump and i have consistently called for the establishment of safe zones under the umbrella of international approval. and we have to act. the fact that you had the assad regime with the russians in the wake the failure of the reset by hillary clint aleppo and you point straight to those families, straight to 100,000 children. we have to act. we have to act now to establish and protect those safe zones. >> so -- >> and when i was talking the other night in the debate i said we absolutely should be prepared to use military force to establish and preserve the safe zones -- >> so -- >> -- and the ability for people to safely evacuate out of those areas. >> so governor --
3:45 am
this humanitarian crisis unfolds -- >> so governor your running mate, the man at the top of the ticket, has said this. "i would have stayed out of syria." you guys have a different position on this issue. >> well, i think donald trump's been very, very clear about his view of the syrian situation, that what we have is an administration that first said we were going to have a reset with russia. that's been a total failure under hillary clinton's leadership as secretary of draw a red line, that if syria ever used chemical weapons against its citizens that there would be consequences. the assad regime did and there were -- >> so just to be absolutely clear, governor pence, you -- just to be absolutely clear -- i do think -- i want to be -- >> in -- >> forgive me. i want to be absolutely clear. you and donald trump agree that you would use u.s. military force, you have said, to bomb
3:46 am
there is absolute agreement between the two of you? >> well, where there's absolute agreement is we have to establish safe zones for people to be able to get out of harm's way in aleppo. and if you don't back that up with military resources and our allies in the region, then you can't really guarantee that people in thoand those 100,000 children will be able to get out of harm's way. syria has imploded into a civil war. it's all emblematic of the weak and feckless leadership of this administration -- >> governor, let me ask one question and make one distinction. >> and that's why we need change. but we cannot stand idly by. by the way, america has. moving red lines, feigning resets with russia. as the secretary of state recently said, we're just out of talks with russia. all the while here we have the leader of russia, you know, flexing his muscles, expanding his influence in the region.
3:47 am
needs to be there for those suffering families in aleppo. and at the same time we need to continue focus our resources as donald trump has on destroying isis at its source. it's headquartered in syria. it's headquartered in raqqah. and when donald trump becomes president of the united states, we're going to put the safety and security of the american people first but we're also going to be there to provide humanitarian relief and support for people that are coming under the this kind of action. >> cbs will have live coverage
