still anyone's guess. we'll take a closer look at one of the states in the balance, ohio. meanwhile, florida residents are assessing the damage from hurricane ian. in the wake of that hurricane, migrants are many times the backbone of the rebuilding. we'll look at the dangers they face. a step toward accountability in texas after the uvalde police department suspended after the massacre that left 19 students and two teachers dead. we will talk to the state senator leading the push for accountability. in venezuela, two dozens killed after landslides brought on by heavy rain. and we begin this hour with breaking news out of ukraine. overnight, russia launched a series of deadly strikes across ukraine, including in kyiv,

which hasn't seen this type of attack since the early stages of the war. civilians were forced to move underground of local subway stations as they await incoming strikes. kyiv's mayor says there will be emergency power outages across the city. russia's vladimir putin says this morning's barrage was direct retaliation for that attack on a critical bridge linking russia with the crimean peninsula. putin blaming ukraine for the aing ta. ukraine has not taken responsibility. this morning, president zelenskyy saying russia is trying to destroy us and wipe us off the face of the earth. the general assembly will begin over the illegal annexation over ukrainian territories. caliperry live in kyiv, general mcofry.

cal. let me start with you. it was a very, very intense couple of hours. what's the latest on the ground there? >> reporter: so it was the height of rush hour. 8:15 in the morning, eight hours ago, when we heard a series of explosions. you couldn't mistake them for anything else. it rattled the whole area. it was followed by two more waves of strikes here in the capital alone. there are at least in the capital eight people dead at in hour. another dozen or two wounded. you can expect the death toll to rise. the number of residential buildings were hit. this was a massive barrage. 84 different rockets fired from russian positions in and around ukraine. in addition to that, 24 unmanned aerial drones came to attack spots across the country. there were a dozen cities that fell under these rockets, under these drones. if you start in the east where

my colleague erin mclaughlin is, they reported five different explosions. in rivney, five people dead there. and the city of lviv, the city that is supposed to be safe, a fallback location for so many around this country, hit by a volley of rockets. the power at this hour is still out in this city. as you mentioned, tonight in kyiv, it will be dark and cold in some places. they will have to go to rolling blackouts to save the grid. a number of people huddling in the subways hoping the worst of the attacks is under. the mayor says stay undercover and expect more incoming fire. >> cal, more than 100 attacks? just stop to think about that overnight. and in the morning. more than 100 attacks. how were the defenses so effective? >> reporter: yeah. the air defenses here are excellent. they have been excellent for the eight months this war has been

taking place. they knocked about half the rockets and half the drones out of the air. one of the things we have been talking about are unmanned drones. they come with civilian wiring in them. it's harder for the air defenses to pick them up. they fly low and slow and just basically are crashed into these buildings starting large fires. it is something they were worried about in the past few days. it has come to fruition in the last 12 hours, jose. >> take good care of yourself and all the crew there. i thank you for being with us this morning. general, let's talk a little bit about this. 100 attacks. what does it tell you about what russia is feeling right now and the fact is that this bridge attack really hit them hard. >> yeah. no question. that attack on the bridge has significantly, i think, impaired their logistics capabilities to sustain forces in crimea and in

my opinion the kherson pocket. russia is in trouble. this savage attack on the main population is a sign of weakness not strength. he's running out of precision-guided munitions. the russian army is not fighting effectively. the callup has been a disaster. there have been more russian men fleeing the country than reporting for military duty. and i think this is also, the attack on the bridge, is also a tremendous political slap in the face to putin who is now apparently facing significant internal opposition in the highest levels of his government in the disaster that's ongoing. but this is a dangerous period. belarus appears to be on the verge of entering the fray to support the russians. and we notice that the russian black sea fleet acquired flied some over moldova.

he is returning attacks on the civilian population. >> so, general, what options does he have left as clearly he is in trouble? it's really extraordinary to think just the extraordinary defense and what the ukrainian people have been able to accomplish so far. >> yeah, no question. look, their political and military leadership has been stupendous. never mind the fighting zeal, the courage of the ukrainians on the ground. a lot of these guys were reservists, territorial soldiers. they pushed putin into a box. he is now publicing continually threatening nuclear retaliation to include guest the wednesday against nato forces, sort of an implied threat, try ig to back the european union and nato

supporting ukraine. not going to happen. putin has a couple of thousand low-yield nuclear weapons. their viability is limited at best. can you imagine using them against a civilian target and killing 30,000 to 100,000 people? they have very little value targeting ukrainian military forces, who are not amassed in large armored units. i think putin still has no viable way forward except to continue to savage the ukrainian people, further isolating them. the economic consequences will be increasingly severe. and have become increasingly a pariah nation to include with its allies china and to some extent, india.

. >> and dadya, meanwhile, ukraine, how are you dealing with this new increase in violence? this is putin who is more and more in a corner and who knows how he could react? >> nothing is new for ukraine. putin doesn't need reason to hit ukrainian civilian infrastructure. he did it before. he just decided to increase his attacks on ukrainian playgrounds, on universities. today he also hit the walking bridge in kyiv that is made of glass where people are jogging. it is the sign of russian agony. it is a sign that putin will lose his power. and the west has to prepare for russia without putin and for

russia losing this war. ukraine will win this war. we are confident of that. i've seen this in the eyes of many ukrainians who are sheltering together with me this morning. we were singing signs about ukrainian victory. so ukrainians are unbreakable. however, we have to prepare ukraine for winter. because putin is targeting ukrainian civilian infrastructure, and he will keep attacking our thermal power plants to make sure ukraine didn't have heat and didn't have electricity. this was predictable. and we were asking for quite a long time our allies, including in the u.s., about the need to provide ukraine with air defense systems and fighter jets. modern generation, fourth generation fighter jets. these are the systems which can, should russian missiles and shoot russian drones.

basically it's already seven months of war. we are not demanding no-fly zone anymore. nato is clear that it will not impose a no-fly zone. but ukraine could have received all of this military equipment to impose our own no-fly zone. it's critical right now. we need to protect our critical infrastructure to order to go into this water with heat, with electricity, and with food. . >> and daria, food is such a key issue. how is the winter with dire need for food going to -- you know, how are you going to do that? >> it's much more critical with heat and electricity.

if they have no heat, they will be just freezing and have nowhere to go. putin sees the reaction of the west into his threats of using nuclear weapons. he is already using nuclear weapons by harassing ukraine. listen, guys, if you will not surrender, i will nuke you. and he is saying to international community, don't support ukraine, otherwise i will nuke ukraine and start world war iii. the u.s. will be frozen because of this fear of escalation and this fear of russia using nuclear weapon it would mean putin won. and it means that putin will keep using this argument of nuclear weapons. so now, in order to protect ukrainian civilians and to

protect critical infrastructure, there has to be strong response from the west. no strong concerns mentioned in the statements. but unblocking file thor jets, modern tanks for ukraine, helping with air defense. this is the best support and best support from the west. >> i thank you both so very much for being with us this morning. coming up, following new developments inside russia where putin raising the stakes continues, warning of harsher attacks on ukraine. a live report from moscow next. and decision 2022 in ohio. and raising eyebrows with racist comments at a trump rally. will he face any consequences? e?

16 past the hour. 29 days before the midterm elections, and the outcome is still anyone's guess, at least when it comes to who controls the senate. as the "new york times" pointed out over the weekend, for almost two decades, midterm elections have been a i succession of partisan ways for democrats in 2006, republicans in 2010 and 2014, democrats in 2018. yet as the first mail-in ballots go out, the outcome of november

8th is usually unpredictable. one reason for that may be the closeness of key races, including in ohio. a tight race between democrat tim ryan and j.d. vance as they are set to debate this evening. jesse kirsch in cleveland and david jolly formerly of ohio. and dean of the clinton school of arkansas. jesse, what can we expect tonight in this ohio senate debate? >> reporter: yeah, jose, i think it's going to be really interesting to watch the same two candidates. they have been taking swipes at each other. we will see it tonight. this is looking like a close race. for context, it used to be a state that is purple. it's been skewing more red. former president donald trump

won ohio twice handly. we wonder if ryan could take the seat currently held by a republican. these debates will force tim ryan to answer for the two-faced persona he is using to try to trick ohio in the senate. ryan would be nothing more than a reliable vote for the far left. that is what the republican campaign in this race is trying to portray. a democrat who is being pushed or voluntarily moving more and more to the left. on the other hand, tim ryan the democrat in this race, would like you to almost think he is a moderate republican. that is how he styled his campaign. his messaging has been someone who has worked with both parties. he refers to someone who worked with former president donald trump, not necessarily something you would see from many democratic candidates. on the other hand, j.d. vance is saying that is a sham, persona

that is not true. we will see how they square face-to-face tonight. the other way we can look is j.d. vance appeared with donald trump. he is his hand-picked county. tim ryan, the congressman, said he would rather campaign alone. he is trying to keep joe biden at arm's length. it will be interesting to see how they allow themselves to be grouped in with party leaders and how they will try to differentiate and how that will resonate with voters. that is what matters just weeks from now, jose. >> meanwhile, victoria, as "the times" pointed out, republicans have pounded voters with messages about the lackluster economy, crime, and unpopular president biden. democrats have countered by worrying about the stripping of abortion rights and donald trump's allies returning to power. victoria, both of these messages that have been over and over again pounded via

advertisements, what is it that voters will be taking into consideration when they go vote? >> right. and we've seen that, jose, right? earlier in the year republicans had the upper hand before the dobbs decision. now we are seeing a very tight race given the fact of where we are with the economy, inflation. but i think the important thing here is to look at different pieces of the electorate, right. so if we are looking at women in particular. we know women are consistent voters. they have been outvoting men for four decades. we are seeing the dobbs decision, reproductive rights is something that matters, is a mobilizing issue. for women, especially moderate, independent women, that is going to be critical, and it will be critical in races like that in ohio. when we are looking at the economy, we are seeing among the lower strata.

the folks most feeling the pitch. that will have the biggest impact. especially with latino voters, where they are feeling the brunt of the economic impact. you know, let's also talk about the messaging. has the messaging been effective on both sides? republicans have had a barrage of ads the last couple of weeks. it seems to be having an effect with democrats. will the ground game the last 29 days really seal the deal in terms of mobilizing the base and getting the white women or latinos to vote for them? >> david, let's talk about that. we're at a point where we're in a campaign that needs to chase the undecided voters. saturday night tommy tuberville said this at trump's rally in 1/2. take a listen. >> the democratic party, they have the majority, they could stop this crime today.

they -- some people say, well, they're soft on crime. no, they're not soft on crime. they're pro crime. they want crime. they want crime because they want to take over what you got. they want to control what you got. they want reparations because they think people that do the crime are owed that [ bleep ]. they're not owed that. >> what do you make of this type of tuberville rhetoric appearing less than a month before the election? >> reporter: jose, let's start by calling the statement racist because it was a racist statement and needs to be called out as such. politically what you are seeing is where republicans thought they would be going into november being able to run solely on inflation, it's not fully working. so in republican politics the issue of crime and the issue of immigration have long been proxies for race, playing the race card, trying to scare people to vote republicans. they translate crimes to african

american community, immigration, to issues of the hispanic and latino issue. and marjorie taylor greene her theory of the great replacement theory. the danger that donald trump has brought to the party, these things used to done quietly are now done out loud. black and brown people are coming for your way of life, your culture, and democrats are going to let you do that. your way of life is about to be richard from you. that is the cauldron that donald trump is able to ignite and senators like tuberville and greene are able to do. . >> victoria, we have seen so many inaccurate polls in recent years. why is it so difficult and why is it becoming more difficult to predict races these days? >> a couple of reasons, jose. one of them is, as we've moved from the land lines.

you could do the random digit dialing there, we have goen into using cell phones. in that methodology, while getting a lot better, isn't it as good as it used to be when we had the classic land lines at home. the second is in terms of folks really want to disclose their true sentiment. so maybe a pollster says, hey, are you voting for a republican or democrat and the person has a socialability bias and don't want to say so they tell them what they want. that's why we keep seeing that fuzziness that in the past had been reputable and accurate. >> i thank you very much for being with us this morning. still ahead, we're on the ground in ft. myers where

residents started returning over the weekend as they pick up the pieces after hurricane ian. speaking of the cleanup, migrants are playing a huge part in getting it all done but not always getting fair treatment in return. we'll talk to someone trying to change that next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports".

behind me. they are residents and business owners. they are waiting in line to get access into ft. myers beach. for a lot of these folks this will be the first time seeing the damage imposed. when you go over the bridge, it really was just a gut punch to see the widespread damage. you see cars and boats just mangled. homes and businesses leveled or washed away. and officials said that all of the structures on this island should be considered unsafe. but i did have a chance to speak with a long-time resident here, and he said he's hopeful that he will rebuild one day. take a listen. . >> i spent 22 good years here. it's tough. i hope the insurance company comes across and fema comes across. and just hoping that i can have enough money to rebuild.

>> reporter: and, jose, it's worth noting that a lot of folks here, a lot of floridians, do not have flood insurance. the number is close to about 18%. a lot of these folks will be paying out of pocket as recovery moves forward. yes, they can lead on fema. the aid caps out at $40,000 to $70,000. to give you an idea how expensive the cleanup will be, one inch of flood damage amounts to $25,000. you saw the pictures last week. this area was under water. folks will be paying tens of thousands just for the cleanup. but i do want to end on some positive news. because, jose, you were out here. you probably saw the groups, the organizations from all corners of the country, louisiana, georgia, virginia, the list goes on and on, they are all lending a helping hand as this community tries to move forward. jose. >> kathy park, that is

absolutely important to underline. i thank you for that. as a matter of fact, migrant workers from mexico, from haiti, from srepz and many other countries are playing a crucial role in reconstructing areas devastated by hurricane ian. nbc news reports advertisers for day laborers are popping up on in new york for platforms like telegram and whatsapp. housing, per diems, overtime and accommodations. but migrants are not always being paid what they are promised and being left injured without compensation. joining us now is founder and executive director for resilience. kathy park was talking about how they are coming from all over the united states to come help in ft. myers. there are a lot of migrants doing that very difficult crucial work rebuilding. >> that's right. that's right. you know, this isn't the first time that immigrant workers are

coming to ground zero after a devastating hurricane event. in fact, this has become the norm the last decade or more. since hurricane katrina, as natural disasters, extreme weather events have gotten more frequent and more destructive, a workforce has emerged that we call the resilience workforce. it's overwhelmingly made up of immigrants. these are people who follow storm after storm, to city after city in america helping to rebuild. and these rebuilding efforts, like the one in ft. myers and across florida after hurricane ian, will take years. you know, you have this weekend heroic first responders closing out their search and rescue efforts and residents returning home. and the baton is being passed to immigrant workers who are often

recruited to come and rebuild and do it for low pay or often for no pay. they do dirty, dangerous work for long hours. and we're hoping that this time around, after ian, government will come up with a plan for recovery that includes payment, health and safety for these workers. . >> so, what are the dangers they face? and it's tough because a lot of these people, for a number of different reasons, including fear, don't have access to government subsidies or government programs. >> that's right. well, you know, my team and i have been in florida since just after hurricane ian. we still have a team on the ground. and what we're seeing is homes blown right off their foundations, impenetrable roads, schools that were there that are

now missing or demolished. and everybody is under enormous pressure. the mayor of ft. myers, the contractors who are in town, the governor of fema, everybody needs the building and repairing to start because the homes that are left intact need to be saved before the next strain. schools need to be replaced for the tax base. the workers are waking up in home depot parking lots from sleeping in their cars or pavements. they are washing themselves with bottled water. and they are making up on top of roofs to hammer away a tarp so homes can be saved. these are dirty conditions, very dangerous conditions. workers are still finding out

what the hazards are. when you are pumping water out of a hospital, you are not just coming into contact with the water. you are coming into contact with everything in the water. it will be a long time before the health dangers and dangers are understood. >> saket soni, i thank you for what your organization is doing. we should highlight these people are doing the work right now as we speak. and not a lot of people are looking out for them. i that you know for doing that. >> thank you. up next, protests growing more intense in iran with its state tv getting habgd over the weekend. we have more details beyond our borders next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports". ose diaz-balart reports" team's devices. on the network with more 5g coverage. only from t-mobile for business.

an attack on a critical bridge linking russia and the crimean peninsula. he called it an act of terrorism committed by ukraine. ukraine has not taken responsibility. senior international correspondent keir simmons joins us. keir, what else is putin saying? >> reporter: well, he described these attacks this morning, jose, as a massive strike in the television address where he was opening a meeting of his security council today. he also listed a series of accusations against kyiv, claiming those meant that kyiv, in his words, were equivalent to a terrorist formation, international terrorist formation. and that clearly is president putin's justification for these horrifying strikes this morning. he also gave a chilling warning suggesting that, in his words,

if there were more attacks on russian territory, there will be reciprocal action once again. there are some questions about that. russia does not have an endless supply of cruise missiles. it isn't necessarily able to carry out the kind of barrage that it carried out today again and again and again. i think another question, jose, is about how much pressure president putin is under here in russia. he is under the most pressure he's been under for 20 years. all through the weekend russian television showing pictures of the damaged bridge and the explosion that caused it. frankly, the kind of coverage that i have not seen here since february. and i think all of that has emboldened hard liners here in russia to criticize the military operation. not criticizing president putin himself. president putin launching these

strikes this morning was applauded by the same hard liners. increasingly, jose, there are no moderate voices around the russian leader. . >> keir simmons in moscow, thank you so much for your time. let's check in on some other stories "beyond our borders." in venezuela, 22 dead, 52 missing after a devastating landslide. authorities say rescues are under way. in iran, the country's state-run television was briefly hacked over the weekend amid protests across the entire country. the hackers broadcast the supreme leader and mahsa amini who died after being arrested by the morality police. the caption said join us and stand up. in tehran, university students in tehran on sunday holding up

part of the deal that was done was that known of those dps troopers were the ones that were at the scene on may 24th. and so far they will be in place over the course of the next year. it's my understanding that the school district will begin a re-interview, retooling, reinventing process over the next several months to try to bring in a new set of officers, have people re-interview those that were not there and so i think that it's a good step in the right direction but there is, as i said, plenty of work yet to do. >> senator, i just -- that 24th of may changed so much for so many people and still a wound that continues to just lead from what happened there. i'm just wondering, senator, what accountability looks like in those families' eyes and in your eyes? >> jose, when you go into 137

days past a massacre, i think you've called it and we've all kind of known this, this is a cover-up. and the answer -- the question then becomes why? why are you covering up all of this failure? and that remains to be seen. the district attorney now has told families that she won't be indicting anybody. what is there a need for a criminal investigation? why are you holding this information? why can't we give it to policymakers openly so we can fix things into the future. she interestingly told them that she was waiting on more data and it would be released in mid-november. as you know, we have an election on november 8th. it's sad to me that politics is getting in the way of transparency and families knowing the truth. but, jose, i'll tell you this, these families are not going to stop. they're deeply faithful people that want to believe that their children didn't die in vein and they want to see change in texas. so it's my hope that we see change at every level and we see

change on gun laws which i think is a common denominator. >> senator, i always appreciate having the opportunity to speak with you. thank you for being with us this morning. still ahead, 17,000 migrants arrived in new york city since april. and now the city says it's at its breaking point facing record homelessness and even declaring a state of emergency. what's being done to help them? you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports."

56 past the hour, new york city mayor eric adams has declared a state of emergency as homeless shelters are overwhelmed because of the arrival of migrants from the southern border. the city is building temporary housing for thousands on randall's island. joining us now, nbc news national correspondent gabe gutierrez. what are you seeing? >> reporter: hi, there, jose, good morning. this is one of the tents that is right now being built here on randall's island. we saw workers here just a short time ago. they've moved to the other end of the parking lot. this is a live look inside this tent that is being built. as you mention, this comes after new york mayor eric adams said -- declared a state of emergency and he says that the city right now is burning through a billion dollars this fiscal year to house the

migrants, more than 17,000 migrants have come from the southern border, bussed here, his administration says, and right now he said there are more than 61,000 people in the city's shelter system. and this is being built as a temporary housing facility. it's meant to hold about 500 migrants. they'll be spending no more than 96 hours here and we're told that this should open up over the next few days. advocates for the city's homeless have slammed this housing plan. they would like the administration to focus on setting up the migrants inside of hotels. they worry about the safety of facilities like this. just a few days ago, they scrapped plans to build this elsewhere because of flooding concerns. so this is why over the weekend workers were here trying to build this tent camp. it's set to open in the next few days. about 500 migrants will be housed here. >> and you're saying they could spend a couple of hours here, 96

hours, and then they'll be moved out. >> yeah, that's four days, basically when they arrive from outside of new york, they'll come here and be processed, be set up with other ngos, there's also a plan to get residents of new york city to potentially take some of these migrants into their homes, but, jose, as we've been reporting, charities in new york city have been struggling to keep up. over the weekend, there was a clothing drive and the concern is, is that many of these migrants from venezuela, for example, the temperatures are starting to get cooler and there's concerns what will happen to this growing influx of migrants here as winter approaches. so, yes, this is meant as a temporarily -- temporary solution that migrants will spend no more than 96 hours here. but there's still a lot of questions about how this will end up playing out if the migrants bust here from the southern border, continue to arrive, jose.
