she is still standing. for those who love coney island, alex, it seems like everything is in pretty good shape after what we experienced. >> that's good, considering what el went through earlier. i have to say, without exception, i think, peter, you and al roker, the dra dramatic pictures. you were right there along the coast there was no break. it was just remarkable trying to have you stand up in those winds. do you any teal have to be checking the pipes and the drainage systems, because they may have been overloaded, if not broken in some places? >> i think clearly that problem will exist in a lot of parts of this area. coney island was part of zone a, a mandatory evacuation area. so there was real potential for flooding here. i spoke to nypd a lot, and they tell us back toward that direction, there has been heavy flooding, as it was described to us. when we get a chance, we'll drive out there and try to get a better sampling of what happened. there's been reports of lots of downed trees. clearly, though

but there is still fighting. so they're saying do you really want to be giving money to one side of a conflict? one conflict is ongoing. we should wait and see how the conflict ends and an interim conflict is established. that would be the authority to give the money to the libyan people, because these billions and billions of dollars are the frozen assets of the libyan people. the argument of the western states, especially the americans who wanted to unfreeze this money, is that there's urgent humanitarian needs. as you know from practice, or just de facto, many countries have already recognized the m.t.c. or the rebel leaders and they're trying to build on the rebel council as to what will be the next government. so that kind of pressure coming from those countries held sway hoar. >> barbara from the united nations on the release of those frozen assets. all the signs are that gaddafi's last remaining stronghold is his birthplace, and still home to many of his loyal supporters. rebel forces have been advancing t

are there going to be people that still want him in power? >> know, there will not be. -- no, there will not be. the 60,000 people army that was supposed to defend him, they crumbled. and this is significant because he called the day before yesterday and ask for the islamists to come and defend him. at the moment, they have the chance to see the rebels advancing on the capital, and we saw these amazing pictures. there are thousands being the -- descending on green square. now it is being called martyrs' square. it >> what have we learned about the future for the be of by how bankert rebels handle this situation? rex -- by how the rebels to handle this situation? >> number one, are they going to the over gaddafi's son to authorities, or will he be tried in libya? will it be a fair trial? will we see judicial killing? there will be factions that will operate outside the tnc and they must take the law into their hands. this is very important. >> they are actually very disparate groups. this is not one homogenous group of people. >> absolutely. a

still at this point.t we're noting here, at least on the satellite loop is this storm's is it center is on the outer bairpgs. it still looks like it's going to hold up here for a category one storm. weighs see this push out near the delmarva peninsula later on tonight. the other thing worth noting, well, the bottom edge is pretty weak at this points as well. we'rement going see too much rainfall on the back side of this now that it has made landfall, but still a very powerful storm as it will be moving up the coast. >> sit tight. we're going to come to you, jefr, in a second. we'll go to mark potter in nags head, north carolina. we have him for a second. how is it looking? it looks worse than it did last hour. >> yeah. it's not getting better. i can tell you that. we have very strong winds, and rain coming at us pretty much parallel to us. it's been doing this all night, and we're told that it's going to get worse before it gets better. then we're going to have a day of this wind and rain. we're also seei

it's still very quiet. we're still kind of upstairs in the hotel. the hotel still seems pretty abandoned of the gunman we heard earlier. the perimeter of the hotel still has gunmen armed people on the outside of it. we're still not able to go out. in fact, one television crew from london tried to go out and they were told to go back in sort of at gunpoint. it became quite hostile at one point. but it ended amicably. nevertheless, those are the kinds of restrictions we're under still. we still can't leave the hotel even though there is no government officials, no government in the lobby as such. but the outskirts of the hotel still being policed by the gadhafi loyalists. >> still being policed. is there any sort of exchange of fire around the hotel that you can hear? >> no, it's very quiet. you get the sense we're playing awaiting game to see what's going to happen next, to see whether the rebels are going to come in and take control of the hotel or whether there's going to be some kind of confrontation between the rebels and what's left of gadhafi s

but there is still fighting.re were saying, do you really want to give money to one side of the conflict when it is still ongoing. we should wait until the conflict ends and there is a government established and that would be the legal authority to give aid to the billion people. because these billions of dollars of assets are the property of the libyan people. but there was urgent humanitarian needs. many countries have already recognized the nftc or the rebel leaders. >> all the signs are that gaddafi's last remaining stronghold is the city of sirte, which is his birthplace and where he has many supporters. progress has been blocked by gaddafi's circuit -- forces. sirte is 96 kilometers outside the city. >> it is not quite over yet. this afternoon, ground rockets exchanged fire in the desert. the rebels are pushing up reinforcements. at colonel gaddafi's birthplace, troops are expected to make a last stand. >> they have the chance to go back to sirte. they did not. they're coming from there. >> the such attacks

the fundamental issues which are still not yet treated. even if we take into account what has been agreed to on the twenty first summit the two fundamental issues the lack of political union and the lack of labor market flexibility. are still not being fully looked in the eye and as long as. these are not. taking of these problems and going for real incredible solutions we will have this crisis situation china has already voiced a suggestion to ditch the dollar as the global reserve currency do you think the world can abandon the dollar is not a reality. at the moment it is not a reality. for debt. in order to have an international reserve currency you need to have deep and liquid financial markets and the only country. the only currency that can offer death on the world for the world as a whole is the u.s. dollar i really understand the chinese frustration with. the value of their dollar holdings but. the throwing away if i may put it that way of the dollar as the international reserve currency is not for today not for tomorrow and not fo

if he is still at large, i think the dangers are still around. the other thing of the security of the tripoli and the cities around tripoli is crucial. access to the assets is issue that is very important for the t.n.c. to run the service to the people, especially in the western part who have been under the gadhafi siege for the last six months. they need it very badly. they need it for security. they need it for stability. they need it for medicine. they need it for goods. this is a very important issue. we hope that we will have access very soon to the frozen money. >> suarez: do you think that will go a long way toward stopping the fighting if they do, as you say, get gadhafi, will the people who support him stop fighting, lay down their arms if they see that he's either dead or in custody? >> well, i think this is true. but at the same time people are laying down their arms now. you know that bregga, which has been an obstacle, so i'm told, the advance of the east to the west, now it is a completely under the control of the t.n.c. process. th

some rain still continuing down into the d.c. area. and so these are all, all this with this rain, it's not just rain, it's winds of 40 to 50 and occasionally 60-plus miles per hour. which is going to knock down trees and take out power and i expect we're going to see probably millions more lose power before this is all over with. but in new york, the worst of it is coming through here. any minute and you're seeing it there with al and your other people right at the coast. >> bryan, a question, with regard to a hurricane making its way through new york city. how concerned are you about glass breakage and the problems with all of the high-rises? because when you've got these winds, the further up you go, we got a lot of up in this city. does that concern you? >> yeah. there's a threat there. and really, what it is, it's not so much the windows being pushed out. it's more debris off of this building goes and hits that building. so i mean the advice for people is first of all to stay off the street. if something flies off a building, it d

rob, tell us is the trajectory for eye remember still on course? >> still holding its path but the information we received at > the top of the hour has just a little bit of good news in terms of the wind speeds. still at least officially a category 2 hurricane, moving northeast at 11 miles per hour. but the trend overnight into tomorrow showing signs of just some subtle weakening. irene as it hits north carolina there, state a category 1 hurricane, but watch the icon as it crosses over long island, switching over to tropical storm strength. so perhaps not quite as strong, the wind speeds we were thinking about 24 hours ago. but rainfall totals could get close to 15 inches of rain. so flooding and coastal damage a real concern through the weekend. we'll have a continued look at irene. >> you would think that everyone is trying to get out of hurricane irene's way, but planes heading east are still going. cheryl hurd is live where those last nights are about to leave. the scramble is now, because as we heard, they're closing the airport in new york do

there's actually taxis still available. there's a taxi right there still available. the taxi and limousine commission put extra cabs on the streets yesterday and saturday. there were tons of cabs even after the subways shut down. that was all part of a plan to help people move to other parts of the city. this is a business that's taped up their windows. a lot of the local businesses are taking this seriously. only a few places were open last night. with all the construction going on in new york city, construction sites like this one, this one looks locked down. this is pretty well along in terms of construction. that's not as big a concern for this one. for construction sites where you may have supplies laying around, that could become airborn. at this point we're not seeing the heavy winds. it's kind of an inconvenient rain, obviously we anticipate that changing a lot within the next couple hours. >> anderson, it's suzanne. i'm just wondering, anyone visit that deli or are the streets basically closed? anybody go to that deli? >> yes. there were a couple people who

but this remains still an active battle in parts of tripoli. >> is it still the u.s. government's estimate, belief, that moammar gadhafi is hiding out some place inside libya, that he has not left the country? >> wolf, obviously we are not able to confirm his location with precision, but there are many varying reports, but i think the preponderance of reporting suggests that he's still likely inside of libya. >> you've had conversations, when i say you, i mean u.s. officials, maybe including yourself, with representatives of the transitional national council, and what have you said to them, if in fact they captured moammar gadhafi alive? >> well, we all have been in contact with leaders of the tnc. you heard the chairman yesterday say that their intent, were they to capture gadhafi, is to bring him to justice through a legal process. our view is that that is an appropriate step. our aim and i think very much the tnc's aim is for a transition to get under way swiftly that is inclusive, that is just, and that fulfills the libyan people's aspirations for a democratic fut

the situation is still arduous for many people. there is a shortage of food and drinking water here power cuts have become the norm. banks have reopened and increasing numbers of police officers are back on the beach. many of the young rebel fighters are considering returning to normal life. >> we will hand over our weapons and go back to work. the best part is that we have achieved something and that we will have a new life after our victory. >> so although the practicality of everyday life is tough for many here, they still favor the ousting of gaddafi. >> we will have more of the fighting in libya later in the show, and we will also take a look at the people leading the struggle for change. the success of the rebels in libya is revealing one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in german history. that is what more and more politicians are saying right here in berlin. most point the finger at the german foreign minister. he shocked the west in march when he led germany to abstain from the un vote on military intervention. he s

there is probably still some inequality. there is still a bit of a difference, but undoubtedly, everyone now has the opportunity to work in virtually all sectors. i have even seen women in the tollbooths on the motorways, for example. this is something which only a few years ago didn't happen. i think that virtually all the women that work in italy do so because they want to. perhaps many work because they have to, but i think most women work because they are happy to do so. but there is the problem that italian women feel that it is right to dedicate a lot of time to their children and to bring theheup, to be near them when they are growing up, and this becomes a very big problem of conscience for italian women. [speaking italian] [translator] i have a lot of friends who have just one child, but they are very sad to have not been able to see their child's first steps, to have not been able to follow their early stages of life, to see them grow up. because as long as they are growing, children need the presence of their moth

it's still a category 1. we're seeing flooding down in the south street seaport, and down in battery park where mary snowe is, and soledad o'brien is on the hudson river in the west side of the new york in the meat packing district. are you seeing a lot of water in the streets there? >> reporter: anderson, tons of water in the streets. you can see it behind me. they have been able to push one of the cars out. but if we go this way, see the vehicle still under water? the water has rizen three inches in the last couple minutes. across the way is the hudson river, and the hudson river has overflowed its banks. the same issue as you turn this way, and we look at some of the apartment buildings, and their water is just pouring into them. you can see two feet of water there probably, anderson, so lots and lots of water. >> how far does the water come in? i don't have a return so i can't see your shot. how extensive is it? i think we lost soledad. let's check in with jacqui jarvis. >> we have been tracking the storm

but still no sign of him.s interesting because if this was part of some strange escape attempt, it didn't work because we were told all the inmates were accounted for. deputies don't know what he was doing. they don't think he was armed. but they don't know for sure so they are going to have to be careful as they find him and approach him. one other thing that's cool to point out is the reason they were able to see him at 1:30 a.m. is because there were sheriff's deputies stationed on the folsom dam as they are every night. they have night vision. so from a distance they saw it happen and initiated the search from there. it is continuing right now. and we are getting some first light which will certainly help. i just asked the deputy parked right there still no sign of this guy as of now and still no idea what he was doing in the first place. >> nick, how extensive are those grounds? are there place to hide? >> reporter: it is extensive. it's an expansive search. you can see behind me some of the trees there.

see everyone that is still unemployed that i know still unemployed and looking for a job i kind of think the numbers are fake because they do not count when people just give up or take a bad job. >> well, we were looking for new unemployment climbs to come in at 405,000. but instead they came in less than that. but to your point, it is better than expected, that amount of better was a tiny fraction. we still have roughly 400,000 people every month, or every. seeking new unemployment. as i have said many times before businesses are looking for ways to do things without hiring new people. they are expected to hire people there are a lot of regulations involve with hiring people and now, technology can answer a lot of your problems you can do things with technology and avoid hiring new people and that is what businesses are choosing to do. >> thank you for your time, the dow jones is up 267 points. out of oakland, a person of interest is in custody this morning for the fatal shooting of a three year-old boy. oakland police say that others may soon be arrested, this drive by happened on inte

still, airline analysts expect just a minimal impact on revenues. as for the major retailers, supervalu, home depot, and macy's have the biggest east coast exposure, all with more than 30% of their locations in the region. >> tom: still ahead-- as the east coast braces for irene, a new idea for flood prone areas. our "planet forward" series looks at floating houses. >> helen: plenty of conflicting messages in the market. let's get you updated in with the market dpous-- focus. despite the optimism from warren buffett on bank of america, stock prices slumped ahead of tomorrow morning's speech by federal reserve chairman ben bernanke. we did see the session start with some follow-through buying but a half hour into the trading day, the s-and-p 500 was in negative territory. and stayed there through the closing bell, losing more than 1.5%. all 10 major stock sectors were down. the financial sector performed the best, thanks to bank of america and the buffett investment, as erika detailed earlier. this is the past 30 sessions. today's better than 9% rall

new york still getting a good brunt of tropical storm irene. it is still coming down.so is serving up some pretty severe winds, as well. we've got on the phone with us right now new york governor andrew cuomo. you've had a chance, governor, to get around your state, your state already experiencing at least a million people without power. what have you assessed? >> well, as you said, the storm -- the worst of the storm has passed, but we're feeling its damage all across the state. flooding, power outages, about a million people, number of people -- we've lost a number of people to fatalities from flooding. so the worst has passed. it's not as bad as some predicted, but the damage is extensive. ? and now what about rescues? there have been quite a few rescues that have taken place in some parts of your state. give me an idea of all that's transpired there, what kind of assistance you've been able to get from both the state as well as the federal level on those searches. >> well, one of the advantages we did have is we had advance notice, we had a few days to prepare, and

three year-old boy was killed caltran is joining us from oakland and trying to stop the violence >> still no arrest in this case the police chief has said a enough is enough the first phase is tactical alert they are saying that after the first shift is over they are going to be staying extra hours to hopefully catch the suspects this is him talking about phase two >> we're going to start another phase to with the 32 officers coming back where it wouldn't those at 32 back in patrol cars and take the 32 senior officers and put them into investigating this marker >> that will go on for the rest of the week along relax the more money it will take we will tell you about where the money will be coming from. >> it was hard to get home i last night if you are riding bart there were huge delays on bart. the system was shut down for hours last line there was a network issue it was incorrectly displaying did doubt in the control center that trains were moving at the control center could not monitor the trains. or just to monitor and make sure everything is working ok? >> some of the people are on t

people will still purchase u.s. debt, it is strictly from to the agencies and aa from s&p and fitch downgraded. a chinese agency downgraded u.s. stocks for the third time or something like that. the s&p could happen but it would be largely symbolic. i think at the moment with the debt deal done the markets have turned their attention to the weak economy and the crisis in europe >> a downgrade from a credit rating agency is still possible. if the dow finishes down i will be nine straight days. that has happened since february of 1978. let's talk about what is happening in congress. one trillion dollars in cuts. then they have to come up with another 1.2 trillion in cuts. it's called member bipartisan congressional committee will have to find that additional 1.2 trillion in cuts by thanksgiving. congress wants to approve them by the end of the year. they do not do that there will be automatically 0.2 trillion cut affecting gop priorities like defense spending and democratic parties like programs for the poor. her nine

they still feel the fear they faced. and remember every second of this nightmare. it will remain in their memories and hearts forever. and you saw. a little angel. last time the close up team was reached where the gold rush still gets people hiked up. this time far she goes to cure old region. where the local government is giving power back to the people. where every orphan will be adopted. the locals turn their land into a tourist paradox wellcome. should close on on are. not from god this is a. new stores this is nato paul who's target mammadov his bunker in his hometown in libya despite claims the coalition is not involved in helping the rebels from becoming such as concerns grow but who will get their hands on the country's weapons of mass destruction. a wave of fresh anti-government fury erupts in syria as lawless forces respond with crackdowns claiming that fighting. over two thousand people said you've been killed in clashes since. and gloomy forecast for economic growth in fall become true announcing you are starting measures of twelve billion euros concent

with assad still in control of the country and his forces still intact with very few defections although we are seeing some defections the items are safe although still in the hands of a very vicious dictator so for the moment i don't think we're seeing any loss of control but as this situation unfolds and as we may have the violence of the kind that we've seen in libya and different factions become armed and perhaps to take on the regime then the chance for chaos and for the loss of control i think will grow substantially what we have to imagine is perhaps a change of government that is done peacefully under international pressure that assad steps aside when he observes the magnitude of the. demonstrations and the pressure that he's now receiving in terms of sanctions and other means and in that environment and then we can get an international team in from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons where you would then have the orderly control and maybe eventual dismantling of these weapons they are illegitimate weapons and the international community is our eyes and they
