there's a warning of life—threatening flooding in the southern united states — as hurricane ida moves from louisiana into mississippi. the storm brought winds of 150 miles an hour when it made landfall yesterday, ripping roofs from buildings and killing a man whose house was hit by a falling tree. these are the latest pictures in new orleans of the debris and damage brought by the hurricane. there are reports that flash flooding has trapped residents in their homes there, where defences were strengthened following hurricane katrina sixteen years ago. president biden has declared a major disaster in louisiana — releasing extra resources for rescue and recovery efforts. nada tawfik reports from new orleans. this is the destructive power of ida. oh, my gosh! easily lifting the roof clear off this hospital in cut—off louisiana. these coastal areas have been the hardest hit so far. besides ferocious winds, there have been tidal surges as high as 16 feet, and flash flooding. this fire station in delacroix, louisiana, posted footage before and after the storm, as water rushed in. 0fficia

and scattered storms in the southern united states and especially in the carolinas where excessive concern for flooding there around the outer banks and back toward the west, we do have the monsoon in full effect in parts of new mexico with additional flooding concerns in tore there. at hot as 120 in palm springs, these are 10 to 12 degrees above average for this time of year. and notice what is happening as far as the united states is concerned, a lot of heat to be had here in the early portion of august, temperatures around oklahoma city right around 90 degrees, even seattle and portland climbing into the upper mid-80s and low 90s. >> thank you so much. >>> and new york's governor is losing allies after a report saying that he sexually harassed several women. what president biden ois saying after the calls for him to resign. >>> plus blaring sirens in afghanistan's capital, details on a car bomb attack amid a major taliban offense. because a quality night's sleep is scientifically proven to help increase energy and improve recovery. and it keeps you at your best all day long. the new sle

well, right now there's a forest fire raging across the southern united states. i mean, louisiana is the worst affected state. and the others are following suit. and we know why it's happening. because while older americans are getting vaccinated, essentially none of the adolescents are vaccinated in the south or under 20%. and only about 40% of the younger adults. and that's just piling at the hospital. and for me i know the really scary part is we're seeing a lot of kids going into pediatric intensive care units like we haven't seen previously. i don't think this virus is specifically targeting kids. i think what's happening in this forest fire that's raging, everybody is getting swept up and everyone is getting sick, and you know what? we've not even opened schools yet. that's habit to happen. that's going to be an accelerant. and we're going to pay a heavy price for not really taking on the southern states and combatting all the phony ideologies. it's going to be a very rough school year, i'm afraid. >> we're already starting to see schools having trouble. we

something very scary is happening in the southern united states. we are seeing this massive surge of hospitalizations of young people that we've never seen before in hospitals across the south. you know, there's a forest fire raging from louisiana all the way east into florida along the gulf coast and now it's hitting east texas and our texas medical center now is getting hit very hard here in houston with lots and lots of covid admissions. it's like nothing we've seen before. it's many, many young people, including, i'm sorry to say, many children's hospital admissions. and for the first time that i can remember, we're starting to see pediatric intensive care units get overwhelmed, which we never really saw before. and, jim, this is happening before school starts. so school starts in new orleans -- sorry, school starts in many parishes in louisiana next week. here in houston, houston independent school district in a couple of weeks, august 23rd. this is the warmup back, jim. as bad as this is, this is the warmup act. that's the message. we have to

what is left of what was once tropical storm fred, fred really left a mess across the southern united states. look at portions of the panhandle into northern georgia, into the carolinas, that is widespread coverage of 3 to 4 inches of rainfall that came down in the past 24 hours. and we do have flood alerts extending into the northeast and we think the storm will eventually rain itself out across this region with another round of 3 to 4 inches. so essential will i wly what pl in the south will play out in the northeast the next 36 hours. tropical storm grace still there, very slow moving exiting out of jamaica into portions of the day cayman islands. potential another landfall over cozumel, restrengthen back up to a category 1 making another landfall into northern mexico. so watch this over the next several days with multiple impact points before it is all said and done. widespread coverage of the u.s., we've talked about the excessive heat and also the fire weather risks, and that is once again back at play there across parts of the western u.s. very strong winds with the potent fron

united states here as the system moves northward and we know it's already dark, it's already hot outside in some of these areas, so with upwards of almost a million customers without power it's going to make things that much more difficult and challenging as well. and of course a million customers, not a million people. generally three to four people per customer. you're talking as much as 4 million people sitting in the dark across the state of louisiana. but here we go. peak wind speeds as michael noted up to 150 miles per hour. at landfall with the storm system an incredible storm that comes in now tying last year's hurricane laura as the state's strongest hurricane to make landfall for louisiana. and no other state in u.s. history has had back-to-back years where a hurricane has come ashore with 150 miles per hour until this happened for the state of louisiana. of course today. and then a year ago with laura. but we look at the damage. and typically when you look at scales of hurricanes, michael, people often think it's a linear increase in damage impacts felt when you go, say, from

their numbers are dramatically lower than much of the southern united states. avoiding hot zones is a good idea. i'm not sure i'd put puerto rico on that list right now. >> the eu set a marker. 70% of the adults in the eu fully vaccinated. the united states is at 52% fully vaccinated. first, the united states had a head start. this is a real miss. but if this em balance continues, and obviously, i'm not even taking into account the vaccination rates over the rest of the countries around the world, what does it mean for the united states? >> yeah. it's going to mean that we're going to become an increasing pariah, not be able to travel. we're going to need to document that we are safe when we travel. europe is obviously considering what to do with american travelers. though we're not going to be able to join the kind of family of countries around the world who allow for easy travel between them. obviously that would be horrible for our country and totally unnecessary in a self-inflicted wound. many reasons to get more people vaccinated. including the fact that w

a lot of the southern united states is experiencing what they experienced last summer. i think it's going to cause a lot of these governors you have seen in arkansas, for instance, governor hutchison regretting some of his policies. even in a place like arkansas, sarah huckabee sanders coming out with a big op-ed saying i want everyone to get vaccinated. i think the politics of covid are more complicated in the republican party than most are willing to acknowledge. >> you're right that covid doesn't care about the politics, but the politics of this have been really interesting. it has been, if you look at what republican governors across the country have been doing on this, they have been working the trump side of this because they're looking at -- they all think they can be president. they know from a republican standpoint, you've got to have that trump base. there's a cultivated ignorance here, a cultivated aggressive ignorance here about meeting somebody else's political ends. desantis is changing his tune now. also, at the same time desantis' numbers are dropping as

think about the civil rights movement an exodus from disenfranchisement and terror in the southern united states, into full citizenship. and in the words of reverent dr. martin luther king, there is nothing greater in the world that freedom. i would rather die in abject poverty with my convictions and live in and north it really shows with lack of self for respect. him, religious freedom was expressed in all of the work of the civil rights movement. but we were talking about this earlier today, the fact that the importance of kings faith but, in his role in the civil rights movement, the importance of the church, a black church, in the civil rights movement, is fading from view. perhaps being blocked out. and the focus is on dr. king rather than on reverend king. but this was a man driven by his faith, strengthened by his fate. he endured death threats, bombings of his home, endangering his wife and children, based on the strength of his faith. early in the campaign, the bus boycott in montgomery, king was terrified by the rise in violence. and in the middle of the night, he sitting in hi

you know, when you are in the middle of a raging epidemic like this across the southern united states, there's no -- there's no margin for error. that means that everyone who walks into a school has to have a mask on except perhaps some of the special needs kids who can't. everyone has to have a mask on, the students, any parents visiting, bus drivers, school staff, kids, of course, and then the other thing that no one is talking about is everybody over the age of 12 has to be vaccinated. there's no other way around it. we have to have vaccine mandates and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface on that and that's not happening either. so i'm pessimistic that many schools are going to open and they're going to shutter pretty quickly. >> i will say though there's a california school, i'm sure you have heard about it, a school district saying, yes, every student that comes on the campus, teacher, staff, everybody has to be vaccinated. do you think it is a trend that is going to start? i mean are you hopeful it will? >> well, i'm hopeful. you know, we are hearing now that the pfizer

a recovery effort is under way in the southern united states after widespread flooding from hurricane ida. the storm has moved inland, batterring mississippi with strong wind and torrential rain. but the damage is worst in louisiana where it first hit. this was the scene earlier on tuesday. an area close to the city of slidell is currently accessible only by boat. ayerin gomez and herfamily were among thousands of people evacuated from new orleans — she's now in atlanta. they have no idea what remains of the home they left behind. we don't know when power is going to be back, there is no cell phone towers because they are down. i don't know if my co—workers are ok, if my kids are ok, if my friends are ok. it is overwhelming. footage of the storm itself contiunues to emerge. these pictures came in to us earlier, this was from sunday — the wind making the windows shudder violently, in la bouettejust outside of new orleans. and here's more of the aftermath. the biggest problem facing louisiana as the waters begin to recede is that much of the state is still without electrical power

search-and-rescue operations continue into southern united states with the death toll from hurricane ida claiming at least four. more than one line homes and businesses in new orleans and southern louisiana remain without electricity. new orleans's levee system withstood more than a foot of rain. passing its big test since the restoration after hurricane katrina. the u.s. wants more involvement from japan and china and the global fight against climate change. john kerry is in asia to reinforce that message ahead of an international summit in stockholm beginning next month. south korea posner national is, has moved a measure to ban outdoor operators from forcing developers to use their online payment system. a part of the website says this means companies that operate outdoor such as google and apple must allow other users access to a variety of payment systems. it is likely to take effect as early as next month. new research published in a u.s. medical journal says the moderna vaccine produced double the amount of antibody's. this is one of the first to compare immune responses produ
