the sea atlantic ocean, obviously. storm's over there somewhere, and it's moving its way back frt the outer bands have already started hitting north carolina. you can see blue sky in myrtle beach. you can see a whole bunch of pa people hanging around on the beach. when we come back, i'm going to talk to craig fugate, who is the former head of fema. i want to discuss the impact this is likely going to have on population centers. they are not out of the woods. it's not just sparsely populated areas in danger. some major population centers from in danger. when we come back, this is coverage of hurricane florence on msnbc. george woke up in pain. but he has plans today. so he took aleve this morning. hey dad. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. now introducing aleve back and muscle pain, for up to 12 hours of pain relief with just one pill. at booking.c

to the fullest. >>> you're looking at a shot now of the atlantic ocean here in myrtle beach.ence got all of that water that is now dumping on this region. someone who has been following this and has been in the region figuring things out and reporting on it is cnn's ed lavandera. ed drove from new bern to jacksonville, new bern, of course, lost all of its power. it's got some flooding. now he's in jacksonville. tell us about that drive and what you saw, ed. >> reporter: brutal drive, don. a small country road and normally would take probably just under an hour to do it took us the better part of two hours to complete the drive. we were caught in the middle of a pretty serious rain band on the north side of this storm, what is now a tropical storm. even though the winds have died down considerably, at least in the top part of the storm where we're at in our location, as you can see, the rainfall just continues to be way more intense than i would have expected given that it's been raining for it feels like probably 4 hours in the areas that we have been reporting from over the

so all of this water is coming in from the atlantic ocean up this river and flooding this entire areaif you back out just a little bit here from this, this is emerald isle, atlantic beach. look at the totals from those areas and pine knoll shores. their rainfall is 38 inches in two days. flooding across this entire area is an enormous concern keeping in mind the storm right now is right here. so where is it going? it's moving at only 4 miles an hour and moving in this direction. it is about to be over water again. is there a chance of some strengthening? it's not likely but this is where the energy comes from over that warm water. so lots more rain is to come throughout the day, tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night, and into sunday. sandra, a mess ahead for all the faoem along the coast. >> sandra: you mentioned new bern. we spoke to the cajun navy down there already. they were down ahead of the storm and they have 310 volunteers and brought their boats down there. they're trying to rescue people who are already calling out for help. it will be amazing to watch this. looking forward to y

it's probably a very different situation along the atlantic ocean itself. we have to stress that.he situation now is that the wind, of course, of flor nls is coming from exactly the opposite direction. stressed all those buildings, those structures for at least 12 hours one way. now it's stressing them the other. this is the problem that happens, when the lines snap, when the roofs begin to break apart, and this is when the long slog of this storm begins to take its toll on the many, many buildings here. on the drive in from wilmington, we came across what was an advance team from fema as they took advantage of the lull, trying to assess what damage they have seen. so far, in this area, they're saying they're seeing moderate damage. not significant structural damage. yes, large trees down, major tree limbs down, they say, but not catastrophic damage. of course, the storm is still ongoing, and that was before the back side came along. regarding flooding they're seeing in the initial wilmington area, they were describing that as primarily ponding due to the howeveavy rain or storm s

this is the atlantic ocean. here is the wind blowing. you see the wind, how it takes the water and that's going to happen out here with hundred plus mile an hour winds. you get almost a dome of water. not a total wave. a dome of water that comes and comes all the way up, over the sand dunes here, a natural barrier and over to cape fear. we have a family here that lives in wilmington. we have charlie, pyper, quinn and mom katie. what are you going to do during the hurricane? >> stay here. >> charlie? >> we are going to color. we are going to just try to stay safe during the hurricane. >> reporter: try to stay safe. what do you think? >> i think we are going to do everything normally, what we do. >> okay. mom, the decision to stay, you live in wilmington. if i drive the car, i would be there in 8-10 minutes. first of all, why the decision to stay and not fall back further inland? >> from my experience, getting back into town after the storms is very difficult. knowing that our family and friends and our home are all here, we didn't want to

a p pa re ntly move into the atlantic ocean.ough, this will all move straight through the carolinas as there are some high pressure keeping it where it is. it will slow down and meander around the ca rolinas, down and meander around the carolinas, dumping loads of water. something like what we saw with hurricane hopping in texas? yeah, and look at the damage that caused in houston, with people's houses getting flooded and then getting trapped. this could go even further inland than people are used to. they aren't used to storms coming inland in the carolinas. but sometimes even 150 miles inland could be affected by the storm. 0bviously, 150 miles inland could be affected by the storm. obviously, there will be questions about weather there is an impact from climate change and weather these storms are getting bigger. we had a couple of big ones last year and weather the amount of warm water that there is is making these storms get strongerjust before they hit earth, these questions will be raised in the days after this storm. 1.5

the water is running out into the atlantic ocean. that is a problem. you probably have more flooding. there is flooding going in a number of areas. rescues happening in a number of areas. my colleague is there with major flooding and rescues under way. what are you seeing? they jumped into action and helping to get to the neighborhoods. if they are taking on water and getting people back in and getting them to shelter. they are riding in the back of the truck under this sharp. it is this why it's so dark in the picture you are seeing on the screen. that's eerie looking and we have been on a couple of runs with this retired marine. he's he just pulled seven people from the neighborhood and taken them to a shelter where they were dropped off. we spoke with one of the volunteers that told us they were given about an hour to set up this shelter because of the influx of people being brought to them. this is in the town of new bern. after they set up the shelter, they have taken in 300 people into that shelter right now. this is the scene and the chaotic nat

we're looking due south into the atlantic ocean. this is the sound between the mainland and the barrier island which you can't even see anymore. it's just beyond that bank and since we've been here, chris, that white boat has already taken on a great amount of water. that is happening just a short while so that boat will be gone, just beyond that to the right, you see that green boat. there was a water rescue team. there have been report there is might have been two people inside that boat. that boat has been blown into the bank on the other side. a great deal of concern. we have still seen a number of people walking around, driving around. that's one of the gust s we're talking about and that is the point here is these winds sustained at these kinds of levels. eventually the first responders we pull off the street until the winds die back down. but there is the occasional person you see driving around. we've seen a number of people walking around the waterfront. the conditions quickly deteriorating and you get a sense of what the c

it was on a remote control barge and the atlantic ocean.rican trade officials said they are hoping to reach an agreement to let some trade barriers with the european union by november. the comments come after a meeting between the trade commissioner of the eu. also, robert. the u.s. threatening to impose tariffs. the two sides could be ready to remove tariffs on some industrial products, last week, profound disreements continued to exist on trade policy. let's cross over to new york with our correspondent. this is jose. it sounds like the trade dispute between the eu and the u.s. is on its way to be resolved at some stage. what about china? jose: it seems trade tensions between the world's to biggest economies are not using any time soon. if trump escalates the turf battle, that could increase the risk of beijing starting to focus on the operations of american companies in the country. it is running out of goods bought from the u.s.. let's not forget that the u.s. imported three dollars of chinese products for every dollar of american produ

circulation because the winds are coming in this direction, some of those rivers emptying into the atlantic ocean as the storm move south which the meteorologist tell us those winds will begin to come from the east and that will fill those rivers back up with brackish water and that's a serious concern moving forward. if you want to show you the areas of greatest concern on this map. this is obviously the eastern seaboard. here's where the storm is right now. just below wilmington and all of this moisture and all of those rain bands moving in that direction. what to bring even closer now. this is wilmington where the storm is now right here in wilmington. there's a storm and here's little town of new bern with all of this water and wind coming in that direction. if we zoom into new bern. i can show you that it's right on the neuse river. so all of this rain and water has come moving up into the river and there is a town of new bern. alive look now, this is the spot where the mayor tells us there have been more than 200 rescues on this day already and more than 100 people are waiting to be rescued

and there is no turning back, really no turning off that tap from the atlantic ocean because we continue to feed it in. and i know you experienced this with me a couple hours ago when the eye of hurricane florence came through, everything went ererily calm. the birds came out, i saw a little blue sky. it was so strange and it was a false sense of security here. people came outside, the ones that decided to rides out the storm. they checked on their property and all of a sudden ten minutes later the wind picked up and the hazard started right back up. and that is where we are right now, the dirty side of the storm. the threats continue. back to you. >> derek van dam live for us in carolie beacolina beach. and thank you for your reporting. throughout our broadcast, you may see some technical issues here, but again, that is all part of it. when these storms are passing on over, it certainly causes problems. audio, communication. but again, good to get that information out to the many people, the thousands who are wondering when can they come home or the people who are hunkered down in their

>> well, the thing is hurricane florence has traveled across the entire atlantic ocean. so think about all the energy that its had and gained over that long stretch. it is pushed up the wall of water along the atlantic ocean because of the strong winds that it had and still has. remember, it was only two days ago, three days ago when this was a category 4 hurricane, so all that momentum, all that buildup is coming towards the shoreline. that's why the storm surge potential continues to be talked about, continues to be heightened here. so we know that those are the threats going forward. and i think, you know, this late in the stage we're prepared to take whatever mother nature decides to throw at us. >> derek, you know, i'm thinking about those viewers -- again, who are we serving right now? the people who left, right? people who are watching our air wondering, is my property okay. people who may be hunkered down in their homes, you know, wondering what's happening with this storm. from where you are right now, what could you tell those viewers who are listening on? >> a

this is a live look at hurricane florence, as it spins in the atlantic ocean.apidly increased in strength and now appears ready to hit the east coast later on this week. hurricane florence rapidly intensified today. as we said, it's now a category 5 storm with the worst storm, being a category 5. officials in north and south carolina are already telling many coastal residents to evacuate. here is more from west columbia, south carolina. >> reporter: an incredible view of hurricane florence, taken from outer space. in just a few hours, it is strengthened to a potentially catastrophic hurricane. >> when weather forecasters tell us life-threatening, we know that it is serious. >> reporter: the storm is set to hit the carolinas late this week. it's expected to bring power outages, storm surge, and flooding. residents in some coastal communities are already being told to evacuate. >> north carolina is taking hurricane florence seriously. and you should, too. get ready now. >> we know that this evacuation order that i'm issuing is going to be inconvenient for some pe

why is it so unusually warm in the middle of the atlantic ocean?rly it seems to be influenced by the changing climate. whatever response the president is talking about after the fact, the fact is that they are systematically dismantling all of the efforts of the federal government to deal with the underlying threat of climate change, and this is kind of becoming the new normal, storms of this magnitude fuelled by these unusually warm ocean temperatures, yet we are going the opposite direction entirely in federal policy in terms of trying to reduce the core risk. >> you can't even raise the topic of conversation practically. the other thing, rebecca berg, the president brought up during this hurricane florence briefing in the oval office was, of course, bob woodward's book. he called it a piece of fiction. he says it is statements from former advisers prove it is a piece of fiction. i want to remind people an audio tape bob woodward released shortly before the book came out of a phone call with the president a couple of months ago. have a listen. >>

it's a fast-moving, fast-rising flash flood with the power of the atlantic ocean behind it. what causes that building wall of water known as storm surge? 100-plus-mile-an-hour winds whipping across the surface of the water. piled higher and higher the storm surge combined with high tide may cause the ocean to swell as high as 13 feet overrunning beaches and potentially traveling miles inland. >> storm surge comes in from the hurricane and a violent amount of water destroys homes and can take lives easily. that's the key is not being there when this storm surge comes in. >> reporter: i'm standing nine feet above sea level. this marker behind me shows past storm surges. the worst is hazel 1954 at 17 feet. tonight with the national hurricane center, measuring a wave in the atlantic at 80 feet understandably all eyes are on the storm surge with florence. lester? >> powerful evidence there. thank you very much, kerry. what do you take? when will you be back? what will you find when you come back? those are many questions faced as residents in the danger zone are questioning wheth

new bern is at the end of a river, which comes right off the atlantic ocean.nd as those winds and waves pounded the shore, the storm surge went right up that river. the river at the atlantic is quite wide. and it gets narrower, and narrower as you go inland. so whatever water it could take at the shore, it was funneling it in and almost like a funnel right into the town of new bern. and this was the result. people there say that oh, we have lived through a lot of these storms. they come and they go. it's bad enough, we are on a river. we understand that but we will be just fine. the water is not coming into our houses. that was yesterday. they know better today. lots of people there hundreds and hundreds of residents of this town of a little more than 6,000 were up in their attics or up on their roofs waiting to be rescued overnight hours and into the morning. they got a storm surge, the locals tell us the mayors of alderman tell us the storm surge is about 9 or 10 feet. they have had it bad. things are improving at new bern. look back at steve harrigan again

it's a fast-moving, fast-rising flash flood with the power of the atlantic ocean behind it. what causes that building wall of water known as storm surge? 100-plus mile an hour winds whipping across the surface of the water, piled higher and higher, the storm surge combined with high tide may cause the ocean to swell as high as 13 feet, overrunning beaches and potentially traveling miles inland. >> storm surge comes in from the hurricane and a violent amount of water comes in, destroying homes and it can take lives easily. that's the key is not being there when the storm surge comes in. >> reporter: the national hurricane center measured a wave in the so understandably all eyes are on the storm surge associated with hurricane florence. phillip? >> kerry, thank you for that report. >>> president trump is promising a swift response once florence makes landfall. he says the federal government is prepared for the hurricane and already has extensive resources in place. meanwhile critics have continued to hammer the president for claiming an a-plus response to last year's deadly hu

spacex says the rocket booster stuck a landing on a drone ship in the middle of the atlantic ocean. >leading the news, a dallas police officer who fatally shot apartment has been arrested as part of a manslaughter investigation. the texas rangers say dallas police officer amber guyger was arrested in kaufman county. she was released last night after posting $300,000 bond. dallas police say guyger returned home after her shift thursday night, but somehow, entered the wrong apartment, thinking it was hers. she then shot 26-year-old botham shem jean, mistaking him for an intruder, according to police. jean was taken to a hospital where he died. it's not clear what, if any, interaction the two may have had. after guyger's arrest, the attorneys for jean's family said while the charge is a step in the right direction, there are still many unanswered questions. >> this family's going to go, lays their head down tonight not knowing everything that the d.a. know whys and their child was killed. so, it's still a very, very difficult time, but this provides just a bit of relief. >> the dallas co

so, the wind as he noted is not coming from right behind me which is where the atlantic ocean is, about 25 yards or so. but rather it's whipping around this way. and that, of course, is keeping the storm surge off. it's as it comes around it gets closer. and just so you understand where i am here in carolina beach, 13 miles south of wrightsville beach, the eye wall is not touching down right here. when that comes in, standing here will be dangerous because that is when we'll see that storm surge. so to understand storm surge, when the wind comes around, it's actually pushing the water up and that's what's creating this dome or this wall of water. and as it gets more shallow, the water has nowhere to go but up, up, up. and then, of course, it's moving about 5, 6 miles an hour as bill just told us. and that's when that wall of water comes in. the national hurricane center forecasting that that storm surge here would be about 11 feet. it would come over the dunes. it would come across the board walk here and then with the force of the atlantic behind it, it moves forward and can cause part

so in theory it should be draining out in the atlantic ocean. when i was in wilmington yesterday, we had -- the water, the cape fear river, was about 5 feet from where we were reporting. i assume that river, because it's a tidal estuary, because it rises both with the tide and the storm surge, has come up. >> yes, and that's the thing, the tide is going to be crucial, right. high tide. twice today we're going to see high tide. that's going to be the worry. especially out as you just described. the atlantic ocean here outside of wilmington, there's barrier islands and then there's an intercoastal waterway. the mayor said to me those two things are going to merge. if it hasn't happened already. if it hasn't happened already, it's going to happen. that tidal surge which will come toward wilmington. they're not too worried about downtown because we're on higher ground. i was in neighborhoods last night. one man told me he stayed behind to try to save his neighborhood. he's got a pump in the backyard. we checked in with him this morning. it's not loo

then three hundred amateurs young and old jump into the atlantic ocean for the annual five kilometer open water race to the historic island of gori. as the hours go by the gaps between swimmers widens faced with strong currents paid sets in. the swimmers battle cramps and exhaustion. he says my lungs are hurting. for many it's just about trying to complete it and get to goree island . and. it's like a marathon on water the goal is to get to go really which for us is a symbol of our history it's an important event. this stretch of atlantic ocean that separates deckard to grey is over historical importance the island was a major hub for the slave trade where african men women and children were captured boarded on ships to america some in chains tried to escape they were trying to swim to the mainland in what was then shark infested waters. this isn't just a swim race it's a tribute to those who remain defiant refusing their fate as slaves instead of swimming for freedom and so this is also a celebration of freedom resistance and the human spirit some ability to overcome adversity. here

they did that they would pass it to more competent hands, so how can we have the hudson river or atlantic ocean owned? well, the same way we get land owned by the homesteading principle. he who mixes his labor with the land or water or whatever gets to be the owner. so, the people that put the ships up and down the mississippi river, the people who own land on the side of the mississippi river so now you have 100,000 people with a hundred thousand shares and that the mississippi river corporation. again, sounds a weird for the non- weirdos, but i think it could save lives and it would deal with running out of resources like fish resources and things like that. guest: finally, to the book now let me wave it in front of the camera. host: we will put it out. guest: the book just came out like yesterday or that they before. host: space capitalism it is called. guest: now, we are flying the same of private property rights view, only now roads, rivers lakes, but to space and there are two aspects no space. one, land on the moon and land on mars, who should own them? again, i resort to john locke and

in the atlantic ocean waters here that end up shocking and heartbreaking. joined andrew cooper and alex schultz, two millennials who turned problem solving upside down. first, the problem. >> it's hard when you can't see it. to a lot of people, it's not -- >> reporter: teaming with plast irs. each year, 17 billion pounds find their way into the world's water ways. >> somebody's telephone? >> yep. somebody's telephone. ridiculous to find it here. >> reporter: like trying to count every star in the sky, andrew and alex's mission would seem impossible, ridding the world's ocean of plastic and garbage and everything else that just does not belong. >> are you surprised to see a tire down here? >> no, i didn't expect to see that, but i'm not surprised. you will find a lot of strange things down here. >> reporter: this struck these guys on a surfing vacation in bali. >> we saw a beach full of plastic. i said, hey, dude, how come no one is cleaning up the ocean? he said we clean it every day. there's so much in the ocean it catches up. >> reporter: two buddies up e

now together for the first time, sailing in the atlantic ocean. now the wait is over. the royal navy is back in the business of flying fast jets from big decks. the f—35 can hover like the old harrier jump jet, but it's far more complex, with 10 million lines of computer code. each costs around £100 million. now landing on a £3 billion warship. it's global ambition, not affordability, that's been the driving force. this is the best, most capable aeroplane in the world, and it's now in the british military, on—board a british warship, and it doesn't get any better than this, with this warship and this team. it's unbelievable. these two test aircraft are meant to be followed by many more. the ship was built to carry 36 jets. but in reality she'll sail with fewer. britain's defence budget is struggling to match its ambitions. but the warning from the bridge is clear — fewerjets means less influence. it is a lot of money, but absolutely we must take security of our people and our home country and our obligations around the world seriously. you just ca

they reacted by declaring unrestricted submarine warfare in the atlantic ocean. there were prepared to sink american merchant vessels headed to england or france. in late february, it also became clear they sent the famous zimmerman telegram to mexico, asking the mexicans that in the event of war, will you join us, and also, will you invite the japanese to join us in fighting against the united states? let's go to the next slide. some people may recognize this guy. some people felt this was an act of war, and that american honor was at stake, that americans softness was being challenged and that we had to step up, prove our manhood, and go to war against germany and its allies , austria and the ottoman turks. teddy roosevelt was very strongly in favor of getting into the war. but a lot of people within and without the republican party had the opposite feeling. this is senator robert lafallott, and he was opposed to getting into the war. his argument was the germans have done nothing to hurt us. they are not going to invade the united states. the zimmerman telegra

a very active atlantic ocean. likely another storm, plus hurricane florence, now a category 4 storm, david. we'll be watching that very closely into next week. david? >> rob, thank you. >>> now, to that emergency at jfk airport here in new york city. dozens of people on an incoming flight, quarantined. the cdc right there waiting, all because of a mystery illness onboard. the double decker jet placed in that quarantine while health officials in masks and gloves screened everyone onboard. at least ten people were hospitalized with flu-like symptoms. and gio benitez is there tonight. >> reporter: tonight, tense scenes on the tarmac. a plane quarantined, surrounded by authorities. with initial reports of more than 100 sick passengers onboard. >> we still need to -- no baggage in the aisles. >> reporter: more than 500 people traveling from dubai to new york's jfk met by police and cdc health officials. the plane kept away from the terminal while the mystery illness was investigated. rap and reality star vanilla ice on

as the rain falls, it has nowhere to go but the atlantic ocean.ks in low—lying areas trying to get out if they haven't already. you have a lot of rescue operations already under way from what is locally called the caju n way from what is locally called the cajun navy, which helped in texas and houston during hurricane harvey. you have a lot of state officials saying they're trying to organise rescue effort as the waters rights. the evacuation centres pretty full now? yes, they are. a lot of the people in north and south carolina, if they were able to get out of the state entirely, they did so. a lot of the evacuation centres are housing people who had no cross to go. as we saw in a couple of pictures a little while ago, with the trees down and the signage and bmp the trees down and the signage and lamp posts also on the ground, what hazards of residence facing? the downed trees are a main concern right now, but power lines are also a big concern, they are strewn all over the roads here. that is electricity for people in north carolina, they have b

we're just steps from the atlantic ocean, and if that storm surge comes through, record storm surge, it could do something to the structure. 18 million to 19 million tourists a year come out here, but for now they've been told to stay away. >> reporter: outside raleigh hundreds of evacuees are taking shelter inside this high school. the building is already near capacity. that's according to abc's victor oquendo. >> this place has just about everything they could need. they've got a medical station here and they've turned this gymnasium -- that's where they have lined up a ton of cots for people to get rest and sleep. duke energy says that some 3 million customers in both north and south carolina will likely lose power during hurricane florence so the people have come here and to the many shelters that have opened up in the area. >> reporter: some people are heading south to georgia where the atlanta motor speedway has opened its grounds for evacuees. >> i see people on the internet just said check there, check here. so, we just make phone calls, you know, and then we got this place.
