It all goes down in the dms and the dms have been turned over. Twitter gave at least 32 private messages from Donald Trumps private account to special counsel jack smith. What that tells us about where that investigation is heading. Unprecedented strike. For the first time ever, thousands of autoworkers walk off in a job stoppage that targeted all three of the big automakers. The ripple effects will be felt across the country, even if youre not in the market for a new car right now. And utter devastation. At least 5,000 People Killed by Catastrophic Floods in libya. Rescuers are still desperately searching for 10,000 who remain missing. Were going to take you there. Were following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. Special counsel jack smith has obtained some of Donald Trumps private twitter communications. Twitter handed over more than 30 direct messages from the donald trump account from earlier this year, after receiving a highly sensitive Search Warrant from prosecutors. The warrant was part of the federal election probe of the former president. Cnns evan perez is with us to tell us more. So what can you tell us about the secret evidence . Reporter so there were these 32 direct messages that twitter turned over. This is the subject of a very long, drawnout Behind The Scenes Secret Court Fight that was going on for months. And we knew that it was happening. We were trying to figure out which company it was, and we heard that it was twitter that was trying to block the special counsel jack smith and his team from getting these messages. One of the reasons they said they didnt want to turn them over, because they wanted to first notify the former president because they said there might be some Executive Privilege Claim that he could make, which he has done on a number of aspects oh of this investigation. In the end, the judge prevailed the Justice Department prevailed on twitter to turn over some of these things. In some ways, forcing them, in fact, to pay a fine for delaying their turnover of these texts. Now, what we do not know is whats contained in those messages, right . We dont know what the subject is. We dont know who sent them, and when they were sent. But we do know that jack smith and his team spent a lot of time fighting, trying to get this in this secret proceeding Behind The Scenes In Federal Court here in washington. Yeah. So we dont know the contempt of the dms, but can we sort of deconstruct why the special counsel would want them . Reporter yes, we can. Look, theres a lot of focus on what donald trump was doing on january 6th. What tweets he was sending and what tweets he did not send, what people were trying to get him to say on twitter to tell us supporters to leave the capitol that day as the violence is going on. I think we have a few of his tweets that day. Thats one that he sends at about 2 24, where hes criticizing mike pence for not having courage. This is happening as the violence is breaking out. Theres a couple more he sends where he is saying, people should obey law enforcement. He doesnt tell them to leave. He doesnt tell his supporters to leave the capitol. This is something that the January 6th Committee took note of. Theres the final one he sends a few hours later where he finally does say to his supporters that they should leave. Now, behind the scenes, we know that there was a lot of pressure on the former president to at least tell his supporters to leave the capitol. And so what we know is that jack smith and his team want to know which devices were being used to tweet that day. Which devices, you know, what messages may have been written or deleted for instance. Drafts. Right, drafts and stuff like that. We know that the former president has said publicly that he believes that this is exonerating to him, that all of this stuff is actually good for him. Its not clear that thats the case, because jack smith and his investigators have spent a lot of time trying to get at these devices and trying to understand what happened behind the scenes with donald trump and his use of twitter on that day, what he said on twitter, and what he didnt say for hours, as the violence was ensuing. Potentially who was trying to tell him, you have to say something, who he was chatting with. Perez, thank you so much. Jim . One of the biggest drivers of the American Economy is hanging in the balance right now. About 90 of the uaws members are on strike against plants belonging to all three u. S. Automakers. This morning, they walked out of three plants in michigan, ohio, and missouri. Workers want a 40 pay rise over the course of several years, as well as kasicost of living incrs and go back to traditional coverage for retires. General motorss ceo told cnn they made a very strong new offer to the union. We have a very compelling offer on the table. Im very frustrated, because i think we had an offer that resonates with our people. Its a historic offer. Gross wage increases of 20 . We have a deal that i think is very, very important, that proposal sits at the table. Our team is ready to be at the table. Theyre waiting and we need the uaw leadership to get back to the table, get these issues resolved so we can get poem back to work people back to work. Cnns dave cohen is with Union Members in toledo, ohio. Of course, Union Members have a very different view of this. They say they made big sacrifices in 2008, 2009, in the midst of the financial crisis then. And theyre trying to get back out of that hole in effect with some of these increases. So i wonder what youre hearing on the picket lines there. Are they ready to stick this out . Reporter jim, look, worker after worker has told me that they are preparing for the long haul for this to last quite some time. This is what day one of the strike in toledo looks like. You can see this huge crowd of people that have arrived here at the local union office to sign up for their strike pay. 100 a day that they will be paid by the union, because as of today they dont have a salary. This line goes down the block and then it snakes through this parking lot to the front door, more than a twohour wait. Look, there are 5800 members here who are now on strike. Three miles down the road, that stellantis factory, there are groups of picketers, about 15 at each and every gate right now. And thats where they will remain. A lot of these folks are going to be heading there later today or even into the weekend to do their shift. They said theyre ready to do their part and stick this out. I asked the head of the local union here why they think they were selected, why he thinks this union was selected. He told me look, the jeeps that are made at that Stellantis Plant are really the crown jewel for the company, and that it would be a big hit to shut down production. Thats exactly what happened. And we also heard from senator Sherrod Brown from the state of ohio today. He was here talking to workers. Heres what he told me. A dozen years ago, when this company, then called chrysler, now stellantis, these workers were willing to make major sacrifices in wages. These Companies Need to pay them back for their sacrifices. People have been here six, seven years still making 19. Some are here a year making 15 an hour. The ceo of this Company Makes literally 800 times what some of these workers make. Reporter and late last night, or early this morning i should say, i was on a Picket Line Up in michigan. I spoke with the head of the autoworkers union, who told me that they would not be going to the Bargaining Table today. That today was really about meeting with members and about these first demonstrations. So jim, its unlikely we will see any bargaining until at least tomorrow. Of course, its unclear how long this could last as so many of these members head to the picket lines. Gabe, thanks so much. Earlier today, joe biden called on the automakers to go further in their offers to the Striking Union work eers. He waded into this, kayla. Reporter he sure did. Major autoworkers are currently offering about half of the pay increases that workers are seeking. And earlier today, joe biden made comments that took him the farthest into camp with those workers sentiments that hes being willing to go yet. Auto companies have seen record profits, including the last few years, because of the extraordinary skill and sacrifices the uaw workers. Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with those workers. The bottom line is, autoworkers helped create americas middle class. They deserve a contract that sustains them and the middle class. Reporter just a few moments ago, White House Press secretary careen jean pierre denied this was a change of position by the president , who she says has always supported workers rights. But it does represent a change, because until this point, the white house has declined to take a side in this debate, encouraging both sides to reach a deal. Joe biden is dispatching his Acting Labor Secretary and Senior Adviser to detroit to encourage the sides to get to a deal, which they hope can happen expeditiously. Kayla, thank you. Jim . Coming up, its been a tough week for joe biden, with the strike and impeachment inquiry, and his son getting indicted. Will there be political fallout .

Thats the latest death toll in libya, where communities are still reeling from catastrophic flooding after a 22foot wave decimated the coastal city of derna. This is aerial footage from the area. The u. N. Says most of those deaths could have been prevented. The red cross is now sending in more supplies, including thousands of body bags, as search teams continue to look for those who are still missing. By some estimates, its 10,000. Cnn is the only network on the ground. And our reporter brought us a firsthand look at the devastation. Reporter weve all covered wars, National Disasters before, but none of us have seen anything like this. I mean, we drove into derna late last night, and even during nighttime in the dark, you could still see the destruction. And now, during the day, this is just utter, utter destruction, and it really feels like youre walking through a war zone, like massive bombs have gone off here. This is what people here will tell you. You have several cities along the libyan coast that were impacted by the storm, by the flooding over the weekend. But nothing like this, what people are describing here as this catastrophic. What happened here as you know, is those two dams that burst, and you have the flood waters that swept through the whole of the city, washing out entire buildings, neighborhoods, homes, infrastructure, families. And brought it all down here to the sea, to the mediterranean. I mean, this is its very difficult for us to really move the camera around, because of the communication issues, the communications were disrupted in the city, so our connection is not very stable. But looking into the sea, what we see here is peoples lives in there. You see homes, you see door frames, windows, furniture, clothes, cars, everything. And they are still right now searching for dead bodies, bodies that are still washing up on the shore six days after this tragedy happened. Right now, libyan officials are saying about 5,000 people have been killed. Theres still 10,000 people unaccounted for. Officials that we have been speaking to say they dont expect to find any more survivors right now. And what you have got here where we are, all these volunteers from different parts of the country, who are working or trying to assist in this recovery effort, and it is such a tough task. Theyre telling us, theyre not equipped to deal with Something Like this. They dont have the means and capabilities to do this. One young man i was speaking to just a short time ago describing how people were just tying rope and Holding People as they would dive into the sea and start pulling out body after body. This one young man telling me in one day, he pulled 40 bodies just by himself. And right now, the volunteers here are saying look, they need heavy equipment. Youve got cars that are stuck in there, and they dont know how many people are still in there. Theyre worried that there are still people dead bodies, of course in these parts and they want help, they want divers, Diving Equipment to try and get recover as many bodies as they can. They have had some international support. We have seen some teams here. The turks were already out on a rubber boat just a short time ago. You have helicopters in the air. But it is nowhere near enough. Our thanks to jomana for that report. For more information about how you can help libya flood relief efforts, go to cnn. Com impact. A lot of Resources Available there.

You dont have to take it from me, you heard directly from the president that hes focused on for delivering to the american people, and thats true if what hes trying to deliver in the way of security at the u. N. General assembly in supporting ukraine and moving forward. So thats where his mindset is. I had the opportunity to participate in the president s Daily Briefing today, and he was dialed in on the key issues that were confronting and will continue to be as we head into the new york week next week. What was jake sullivan, White House National security adviser, saying that joe biden is dialed in, in the wake of his sons Hunter Indictment on three gun charges. It has been a tough week for the president on a number of fronts. Hes dealing with an historic auto strike, as well as speaker Kevin Mccarthy announcing that House Republicans were launching an impeachment inquiry. Gloria borger joins me now. The public messaging from jake sullivan, hes dialed in, he has the u. N. General assembly next week. Which he does. Hes a busy man, touting bidenmonics. Privately though its been a really tough week for them. Hes close to hunter. I think he thought that this was all behind them. He was a Senior Adviser at the white house. I think theres a sense over there, and i believe it, that if his name were john doe, that none of these charges would have been brought. So i think theres a certain amount of resentment about that, but the president has said, you know, hes going to not interfere, and i think theyre letting Hunter Bidens lawyers deal with that. But impeachment . Theyre kind of ready for that. They knew it was going on and theyve been preparing for it for months. The strike is something they did not want, but they have to deal with it, and its very, very important to joe biden and it turned out well. No question, because economic numbers were something folks were watching closely going into next year, where does inflation go, interest rates, et cetera, because historically, incumbents dont do great with a poor economy. It encapsulates bidens economic agenda about the rising middle class, and he says hes very, very pro labor. And today, when you saw him, he was very, very pro labor. And he has no power to say, end this strike. He sent a couple of envoys to michigan to help. And hes trying to be an honest broker. But also, the state of michigan is very important to joe biden with an election coming up. He won it narrowly last time around. But he wants to win it today. The uaw president has withheld the unions endorsement of biden. Thats notable. Listen, Biden Historically has been a pro union guy. Right. But unions now, and, you know, union workers, and we have had some on the air at cnn, are saying look, democrats used to be the party of the unions. Theyre not anymore. So i think that what joe biden is saying is yes, i am. So he needs to do turn out well. He has spoken to both sides. But, again, he cant just say this strike is over, go back to work. He cant use the National Security exception. Like Ronald Reagan did with the air traffic controllers. He doesnt have the side. Theres a personal aspect to this. Biden lost his other son, and then going back to the car accident in the 70s, he lost a wife and daughter. Here is his son, and hes going through addiction. But theres a political side to this, as well. That this trial, if it proceeds, will be going on in the middle of the election year. And thats difficult, and i think its also difficult for people at the white house to really talk to the president about this. This is so personal, and so painful for him. Youve heard him before say, im proud of my son. He was addict, and hes gotten himself out of it. I think if the president comments on this, which at some point he probably will, thats what youre going to hear. But, you know, theres no mistaking that this is difficult for him in the middle of a campaign. Whats going to be more difficult in a way is if, well, not more difficult, but just as difficult, is republicans trying to sort of say that he and his son were colluding and he was making millions of dollars off of his sons ties with burisma and china, and i think theyre going full force against that. Theres been an actual investigation, a legal investigation of that, at least to our knowledge. And you heard that donald trump actually said that if i hadnt been impeached, maybe they wouldnt have done this. Interesting. Well, gloria borger, i imagine were going to talk about this again. Yes, we will. Thanks so much. Missing right now, chinas Defense Minister, li shangfu, has not been seen in public for two weeks, and the Defense Ministry dodged questions today about his whereabouts. Lets turn to cnns ivan watson for more on this. Ivan, whats going on . Where is he . Reporter its a bit of a mist try. He hasnt been seen in public sense august 29th, and he didnt show up at a meeting with senior vietnamese military officials that was scheduled around september 7th. There was never any public explanation for why. So there were questions asked of the Chinese Foreign ministry today, where is the Defense Minister . Is he under investigation, and the morn Ministry Spokesperson said im not aware of this situation. Meanwhile, the reuters news agency, it has ten sources saying that the Defense Minister is actually being investigated, and it has to do with military procurement, which he used to be in charge of before he got this current job. Now, youve got the u. S. Ambassador to japan, thats rahm emanuel. Hes basically been trolling the Chinese Government on twitter, on x. Last week, he had this post, where he said president xis cabinet lineup, thats president xi jinping of china, is now resembling Agatha Christys novel and then there were none. What is he referring to . Well, back in july, the Foreign Minister of china suddenly he stopped showing up at meetings with senior u. S. Officials. He didnt attend a regional summit. People started asking questions, where is he . And then abruptly, he got stripped of his post and his predecessor was put in as the Foreign Minister. And there have been two top officials who were two officers running the rocket part of the armed forces, thats basically icbms and nuclear weapons. They kind of disappeared and suddenly were stripped of their positions and replaced with no explanation. So what does this all get to . Well, we dont know whats happened to the Defense Minister exactly. Well be watching that. But theres a pattern of senior officials in xi jinpings government suddenly disappearing, no explanation why, being replaced. And thats kind of how governance seems to work in china these days. Very interesting. Well be watching this. Ivan, thank you for that report. Boris . Coming up, new developments in the autoworkers strike.

Tomorrow, we expect to be at the Bargaining Table. All three companies sevened a comprehensive counteroffer, and we await their response. We are following all of the latest on this unprecedented labor strike. Boris . Preparations for Hurricane Lee are underway in new england, as Tropical Storm conditions start to move in this afternoon. The category 1 hurricane has been in the atlantic for more than a week now. Lets get to meteorologist Jennifer Gray who has the latest forecast. Jennifer . Yeah, this is one weve been watching for a long time. Its finally starting to show impacts along the coast of the u. S. 80mileperhour winds with 100mileperhour gusts. This is moving fast at 18 miles per hour. So while this is going to stay away and avoid a u. S. Landfall most likely, you have to remember that Tropical Storm force winds extend about 300 miles from the center, and so we are going to see Tropical Storm force winds along the cape, Eastern Massachusetts possibly, as well as maine. And so the biggest threat with this is going to be really the power outages, because when you think of the strong winds, the downed trees, powerlines, most likely staying a category 1 through tomorrow morning. Were going to see this shoot up into canada over the weekend. So the forecast tsatellite and radar showing the rainfall pushing through. Well see a couple of inches of rain in new england. Highest amounts are in Eastern Maine and into canada, where we could see from two to four inches of rain. But we do have those tropical watches and warnings up. The forecast wind gust, were going to see the strongest winds along the cape, Eastern Massachusetts tonight. Once we get into tomorrow morning, thats when the Peak Winds Will Reach Maine and then this Will Push On Out by tomorrow afternoon. So the storm surge looks to be about one to three feet. We could see coastal flooding. Some beach erosion, things like that. But the biggest threat is going to be the power outages. A rough weekend potentially for those folks. Thanks so much. Jim . A new team, a big, new contract, just 94 seconds and one really bad injury. Now were hearing more from New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers after he tore his achilles tendon, ending his season just plays into it. Rodgers says he ran the gamete of emotions. Cnns Patrick Snell joins me now. Patrick, hes trying to sound a confident person, daring folks to say it will take him a long time to come back. Yeah, its the spirit of the man, jim. I tell you what, jarring, heartbreaking scenes to witness. But the good news for him and his fans is, Successful Surgery on that achilles underwent this past week, midweek. Successful surgery. And that is a really encouraging sign. But no question, this has been a highly emotional and tumultuous week for rodgers and jets nation, a whole Roller Coaster of emotions. A week ago, jets fans were dreaming of a super bowl triumph from their prized acquisition who is a fourtime mvp. Now they are left wondering if, and indeed when, he will come back to the field of play. He will turn 40 years of age later on this calendar year, and hes been conducting actually, jim, his first oncamera interview since mondays seasonending achilles injury. Speaking on the pat mcafee show. Have a look at this. Tell me the timetables. Give me all the things that you think can, should, or will happen. Because all i need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. Thats all i need. So give me your doubts, give me your prognostications, and then watch what i do. Around then watch what i do. Those are spirited words indeed by rodgers. We all wish him The Very Best in his recovery, theres no question about that. Of course, hes had a long and storied career with the packers. Before the injury, he did say, jim, he could see himself playing until his mid 40s, just like fellow great and fellow icon of the sport, tom brady. The road has now become a whole lot tougher for him, but i know this much, i would not count him out, as they say. He turns 40 just before well, later on this year in december, in fact. As for the jets, it doesnt get any easier. They play at the cowboys on sunday, this coming weekend. Well be watching it all very closely indeed. As i said off the top, i want to wish the player himself all The Very Best in his recovery. Theres no one in the sport that doesnt wish him the best at this time. With that, jim, right back to you. And hes got a surgeon with a history of getting folks back on the field after a surgery like this. Well see if he can manage it.

I think we want to, in a good way, with a soft weapon, we want to remind people that we still need help. Please dont forget about it. Cnns Christiane Amanpour joins us now with more on that report. These dancers are really trying to make a contribution to the war effort through that soft weapon, as that dancer described it, through art. How is their message being received . Reporter well, im really smiling because i remember when that dancer said to me, i hope that we can do our bit to help the people of the world fall in love with our country and fall in love with our people. And then you had the choreographer saying, we need more help. These two are linked. They need more help for the war effort. Thats why they are out there trying their hardest to do that. But they also want to give joy to their own people, to people of the world, to introduce people to ukrainian culture. And to remind everyone that, as you mentioned, you know, culture, art, history, identity is very unique to ukraine and its what the russians are trying to annihilate and trying to tell the Rest Of The World that there is no such thing as an independent ukraine. Hence, our war is perfectly fine, we just want to all get together again. So i think this is really important, and it just also makes people sit back a little bit, enjoy the story telling from the remarkable people that have come up. And i interviewed some who decided to stay there and their stories are incredible as well. So it is a lovely, lovely hour. And there were still performances, when i was in lviv, i saw a performance there. Why did they stay behind and what has experience has been like because it is dangerous . It is dangerous and some of them certainly in the ballet corp that i interviewed, one of the main most important Ballet Dancers, a man had gone to front and he got killed. And that was something very, very difficult for them. And they did a wonderful tribute to him. They brought his coffin draped in their cultural flag to the ballet theater. But it is in everybodys mind. And some of them dont leave because they have family, because, you know, they just want to stay to do ballet for people in ukraine. So each one of them have made their own decision about where they think they could be of best use. But all of them, whether outside or inside, talk about being part of the war effort and no matter what they do. The ones outside say we are the cultural ambassadors in the world for ukraine and you saw in a picture there, theyve already brought their dance to the Kennedy Center in washington and it is been very well received. They have other International Engagements as well. It is amazing what emissaries they are. How effective they are. And also, weve learned that ukraines president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is going to be visiting washington next week. What are you looking for as he visits . Well, hes coming first to u. N. , or to the u. N. As well. I dont know what the dates are. But certainly next week hell be at the u. N. And when President Biden is speaking on the tuesday, i believe, the first day of the major World Leaders at the u. N. General assembly, and what he will be doing, president zelenskyy, will be trying two things. One, to get the Rest Of The Worlds nations who are not necessarily on ukraines side, who are still straddling the fence, who take a lot of russian narrative about this war, and who are hurting by the way because of the Grain Shortages and the food prices and the hunger due to all of this. And hes going to try to address them and get them on side. And then hes going to go to washington and he will meet with President Biden and individually we understand with members of congress, the senate, et cetera. No Joint Address as he did before. But his job there is to say thank you but we need more. And this counteroffensive, i was in ukraine just a week or so ago, and i see that it is making progress but they need more if they have going to achieve what the United States and nato has laid down as a marker, they must win and putin must be defeated. So, in ukraine so this is going to take a lot more help. Christiane, a big week for you not only because of the report, were all excited to watch this weekend, but also because earlier this week you marked 40 years at cnn. And brianna is wearing im wearing the sweater. A very fashionable statement. Something that is attributes to you. Be truthful, not neutral. Your reflections on 40 years with cnn . Well, i just am so i cant believe it. Where did 40 years ago. And im so happy to see you wearing the sweater that cnn created for some of us women. At the network. And i learned that in bosnia, that you have to be truthful, not neutral. Because a mistaken notion of objectivity that sometimes can mean drawing false equivalence between moral or factual when there is none. So what im trying to say is in a situation like ukraine for instance, it is the victim of this russian war and in a situation like bosnia, all of those years ago, was the victim of serbian aggression. We had to figure out as young journalists where the truth was and that is where it was. In being truthful and not falsely creating a moral or other kind of equivalence that meant neutrality. Which then means youre an accomplice because youre telling lies about the story. So it was a very big lesson to me. There is no equivalence between actual Climate Science and those handful of deniers and if we the press had been serious will understanding that for the last several decades, we may not be in this situation that we are now. It is so important, it is why you are our compass and an icon to us at cnn and so many in journalism. Thank you so much for being with us on the show today. Thank you. It was a great pleasure.
