Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom Live 20150916

That one minute goes by really fast. There are two ways to run scared and unopposed. Im not unopposed. So were going to compete hard. To those of you who are not supportive yet, youll get there. And well continue to work to make sure you get there. I hear theyre all going after me. Whatever. Whatever. Get ready for rumble. The stage is set for wednesday nights cnn republican president ial debate. While most of the candidates spent the day preparing, frontrunner, donald trump, was on the campaign trail just a few hours ago aboard the world war ii battleship, the u. S. S. Iowa. Trump delivered what he called a major policy speech on National Security. It was over just 15 minutes with few specifics on defense or Foreign Policy. But there was a lot of bluster. Were going to come out with some plans in some very short time. Were going to be building up our military. Were going to make our military so big and so strong and so gre great, and it will be so powerful that i dont think were ever going to have to use it. Nobody is going to mess with us. A new poll shows Republican Ben Carson closing fast on donald trump. The New York Times cbs news survey shows trump with 27 , followed by carson with 23. And for carson, thats a 1point jump from the last poll, which was taken just before the Republican Debate in august. As for the former frontrunner, jeb bush, hes lost more than half of his support over the past month. The polls margin of error is plus or minus six percentage points, making the race between trump and carson a virtual dead heat. So ahead of round two of the Republican Debates, the donald is dominating. Bush is fading, and possibly the Biggest Surprise of all, the sur gent is surging. Ben carsons campaign attributes that 17point jump in the polls to the power of nice. With that, well head to cnn for ben ferguson. Explain to me, not the why but the how. How did carson actually jump 17 points. Like everybody else not called trump, hes not getting a lot of coverage. He speaks really quietly. How did his campaign actually do this . He may be the most dull brilliant candidate ive ever watched. Its because hes talking policy and actual ideas. Hes talking initiatives. Hes talking about what he would do differently with specifics, not just generalities. I think there was a big hunger within the gop for someone to talk about actual policy ideas and plans that they could understand, that you can sit there, discuss and analyze. Many of the other candidates out there went after donald trump and tried to outtrump him. They got into these fights and wars with him. That didnt work. But ben carson stayed true to who he was hp pe didnt overreach. He didnt try to be a candidate hes not. And i think people really liked that. And the fact that impeachment said he was dull and boring, when donald trump is saying youre more boring than jeb bush and you could fall asleep listening to this guy, i think it actually made people listen more to what he was saying. And they wanted to know if he really was, in fact, that boring. Hes a really smart guy. Im wondering about the second Republican Debate. Could this be the time when some of those candidates who arent getting air time or oxygen, will they start dropping out for no other than other than just money. There just isnt enough money to keep 16 candidates in the game. And if they dont do well at the second debate, its hard to convince the donors to keep coughing up. If youre in the two, three, four percentage polls nationally rite now, this ge debate literally your political life. Keep this in mind. We have the two debates. The kiddie warmup table, whatever you want to call it. Who are they actually debating . They cant take on donald trump, the frontrunner, which is what happened when youre behind. Theyre not debating democrats or each other. Who really cares. None of them have a chance of getting a nomination. Whats the point of this second tier debate . Look at Carly Fiorina. She became the big winner in the first one. Everyone thought she was a write off at that point. Do you think there will be another breakout candidate after this debate . I think there absolutely can be. Heres the interesting thing about donald trump. There are going to be so many people that watch this debate tomorrow night that would have never even thought about watching 14 months before the election day. Think about this. Were basically 14 months out. B i know people that can careless about politics. Theyre scheduled like its a Football Game or a playoff game for the home Football Team they love, they want to see whats going to happen. If you do do well and people are talking about you the same way they were about carly fi yorinat can catapult you into a new level. Having Carly Fiorina on the big kids stage, does that change the dynamic in any way . Having a woman up there . I dont think so. I think its great practice for everybody on stage. If they do have to go against Hillary Clinton, why not get some practice with Carly Fiorina. If youre looking at this as a prep for the big, big stage, which could be after the nomination, i think most of them have no problem with it. Theyre not nervous. When it comes to donald trump, i think hell say whatever the heck he wants to say about carly fiori fiori fiorina. Hes done it in the past saying look at that face. Can you believe that face . Im not sure he can do anything to hurt himself. Hes like teflon. What doesnt kill him only makes him stronger. Good to have you on. Thanks so much. You may have heard, were actually hosting this debate on wednesday. The republican president ial candidates will face off in back to back debates. You can watch them live starting 6 00 p. M. Eastern time in the u. S. Thats 1 1 00 p. M. In london. 6 00 a. M. Thursday in hong kong. You will see it only here on cnn. Well go to utah now where flash floods have killed at least 16 people. Most of the victims were in cars, swept away by a wall of water and debris. Some hikers also died in the flooding, and others are still missing. Search crews will be back at it on wednesday. They had to stop on tuesday night because of flash flood warnings, as well as bad weather. At least nine of dead are women and children returning home from a trip to a park when they were hit by the surging floodwaters. We have details now. Reporter a frantic search using heavy machinery, or their own muscle. Volunteer chris wiler dug all night. I was digging, just picturing if it was one of my babying out there and just wanted to keep pushing. Desperate to find the women and their children, one as young as 4 years old, swept away in these rushing waters. They were in their cars when flash floods struck, caused by heavy rain in the mountains above this canyon town. As the search stretches into the morning hours, relatives and friends begin to line the muddy banks. Many in this community are members of warren jeffs polygamist sect known as the flds. They learn three survived. The rest, either missing or found dead. Flash floods can overwhelm without warning, as lydia wiler learns. She was recording this video, not worried at first. At the time, we were just awe struck. It was just amazing, just wow. Then this happened. When you saw those kids and the women coming oit of that car i didnt realize until that time. And then all of a sudden i was like oh, my goodness, this is, like, seriously dangerous. And then it started the vehicle started sliding. All the victims in this car escape unharmed. But for the others missing on the banks of this river, a deeply religious community, prays for a miracle. Colorado city, arizona. Rain is in the forecast for Northern California, and that could, in fact, bring some much needed help to firefighters who are battling the valley wildfire. Hundreds of homes have gone up in flames. Thousands more remain under threat. One woman died when the blaze trapped her inside her home. Valley fire, as its called, is a number of wildfires burning in the state suffering from an historic drought. The flames have caused about 24,000 people to evacuate their homes. For more on californias fire emergency, were joined by the director of the office of emergency services. Hes on the line from the state capital in sacramento. Thank you for being with us. Whats the latest of the containment of the two big fires, the valley fire and the butte fire. Well, on the valley fire, were about 15 we were able to make some pretty Good Progress in the last 24 hours because we had some cooler temperatures. We actually had a slight amount of precipitation that helped the firefighters get with the fire a little bit. But we still have quite a bit to go. And the acreage now is roughly 67,000 acres. Is there an update on how soon some of these residents may actually be able to return to their homes . 24,000 people or so who have actually had to leave . Yeah. Weve evacuated about that many. And weve got roughly about 1,000 or so that are in shelters currently. And were hoping to get some of the areas open by this weekend where they could at least try to get back into the area. The problem is that many of the community subdivisions and housing areas have been lost in this fire, so theres really not much to go back to. And were going to have to take it very slowly because a lot of this debris that gets generated in these fires have Hazardous Materials and other kinds of things in it that were going to have to be karg getting people back into the area. Sad days ahead for a lot of people. Thanks for being with us, mark. Our meteorologist joins us with more on this. Good weather, and were hoping for a little bit more good weather to come. These fire, when you start measuring in thousands of acr , acreacres acres,. Four times the city of San Francisco when you talk act the valley and butte fire. Much of it happened saturday into sunday. The valley fire has the potential to be one of the most deproductive fires in california history. Its becoming a raeger regular thing. As far as the improvements in the weather condition, we talked about some showers rolling on in towards the region. We go in for a close perspective. The showers have been very light in nature, quarter of an inch, half an inch at the very most. Here comes the storm system. This particular one is quite impressive if you ask me for this time of year. Has potential for decent snow showers that already brought down some snow in the higher elevations. But the models, wednesday night, the valley fire gets some moderate hateful. Now were talking about respectable hateful coming in. And the butte fire taps into some moisture in the next five days. Maybe quarter of an inch, maybe half an inch. Additional hateful in the forecast there. Where we had hateful anticipate it was not just any hateful, it was out of 4,000 september days on record for downtown los angeles, this was the second wettest day ever observed for the city. Picking up over 2. 3 inches of hateful. Record hateful. Thats the most hateful theyve seen in two years in any one given date. Culver city to santa monica. What manges it even more impressive, looks a the trend, september, up with of the driest months of the year. You average about a quarter of an inch of hateful. We are. Picking up nearly three inches with this one particular event. Flooding concern across that region. Conditions have improved. But we want to take you in towards monmouth mountain. 11,000 feet high. They typically get about 400 inches of snow per year. Tuesday, this was the scene in hugher elevations. Some snow showers at least begin to come in. And john, when you think about the observations, as far as the sierra snow pack, 30 of californias water comes in this snowfall. Actually looking at tree ring observation. Rainy seasons, typically the tree rings with farther apart. Dry seasons, theyre very compact. Researchers looked at about 1,500 blue oak trees and they found out the last time the tree rings were this compacted together was about the year 1500. So over 500 years ago. And tree ring observation, when it comes to moisture has a very little margin of error. Its incredibly accurate. We dont have weather data going more than 100 years, but theyve got the trees. The last time this happened was back in the 1,500s. Wow. Okay, thank you. Hundreds of migrants, maybe even thousands waking up in serbia today and hoping to continue their journey through europe. But one of the main routes is sealed shut. Lun go aheadry has plugged the final hole in its border fence. Some migrants can still get into hungary legally through two assigned checkpoints. Authorities say they have accepted 70 asylum application and rejected 40. And nearly 300 mie grants have been arrested for trying to cross illegally. The final destination for most of the migrants is germany. Angela merkel says germany will set up thousands of Refugee Reception Centers across the country. The migrants camped out in serbia say theyre not going anywhere until they can continue on into europe. Ben wederman has that report. Open the door they chant on the serbian hungarian border. But their words fall on deaf ears. The door stays shut. Its slammed shut late monday when hungary closed off the main official and unofficial crossings. Tlft a message for the Prime Minister of hungary. No one wants to stay in your country. We have nothing left to lose. But hundred g gary says it must control its borders. Hundreds of now camped out in fields by the fence, hoping hungary will soften its defense. This 50yearold and his family have traveled for two months from afghanistan, sleeping in the rough has become routine. Nothing, just out here. Constatina wire and Border Police have temporary stopped their progress. But despite their exhaustion, their determination to move ahead is undiminished. Aid officials seem flabbest gatt g flabbergasted in the scope of this crisis. If you look at this mess here, then where it . Not here. The children may be too young to understand, while the parents, their fate yet again in the hands of the powerful can only hope for a solution. At the moment, hungary seems unwilling to open its gates. But for some of these people who have come from as far away as afghanistan, turning around and going home is not an option. A short break here on cnn. When we come back, north korea making threats and saying its ready to use Nuclear Weapons anytime. Well be live in seoul with the very latest. Also john kerry warning russia about involvement in syria. Satellite images appear to suggest the russians are building a military base there. [ piercing sound ] daddy lets play sorry kids.

The North Koreans say their Nuclear Arsenal is increasing and theyre ready to respond with Nuclear Weapons. We get the details now from brian todd. Kim jong un rattles his nuclear sabre at america. The head of his Atomic Energy program declares the regime is ready to use its Nuclear Weapons anytime if the u. S. And others continue their reckless hostile policy towards north korea. Hes also declaring their Nuclear Program is at full speed. The regime says its main Nuclear Program is operating normally. An official at cnn says they have no reason to doubt the claim and analysts take the threat seriously. If you look here, the snow melt in this area, snow melt again on the reactor. This would indicate the reactor is functioning, giving off heat, causing that smoe melt. Also here in august, you can see tracks leading into the reactor area. That again shows theres significant activity going on at these sites. Kim is said to be as obsessed with developing Nuclear Weapons as his father and grandfather were. His grandfather, the founder of the country saw United States bring Imperial Japan down to its knees with two Nuclear Weapons. This is a regime whos been interested in Nuclear Weaponry for decades. Kim is not stopping there. His regime announcing its preparing to launch a satellite into orbit for scientific purposes. The United Nations has warned north korea to call off the rocket launch. A satellite launch vehicle similar to this one pictured here could be used by north korea to kwdevelop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile thats capable of reaching the United States. Weapons experts say they havent tested reentry on those missiles and they could break apart. Still, these moves bring a warning from washington, demanding that kim stop his provocations. U. S. Officials taking no chances. Making sure kim knows what kind of missile defenses america has at the ready. Groundbased interceptors to alaska, surface combat ants to the western pacific. A battery on guam and another radar in japan in order to be ready and vigilant for anything the North Koreans may or may not do. Why is kim doing this now . Experts say hes under a great deal of pressure in the moment. Kims got to show strength for the upcoming anniversary of the dictatorship and hes trying to keep his military leaders happy after purging so many of them and letting them flex their nuclear muscle could be a way at keeping them at bay for the moment. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Live now to seoul, south korea. We have more details on the story. Is there any way to know exactly what the North Koreans men when they say their Nuclear Program has steadily improved. Can that be quantified in any way . Well, not really, john. All we have to go by is this article thats quoting an unnamed director of the Atomic Energy institute. He reportedly is referring to reports in the western media regarding north koreas Nuclear Program and also refers to comments made back in 2013 that north korea was vowing to restart this complex. If we plook at some of the analysis around that complex, as we saw in brians story there, analysts do say there have been expansion and that north korea was looking like it was following through. It is steadily improving the quality and quantity of its Nuclear Arsenal. Beyond that, we dont really know what its saying here. It has the capacity to attack the u. S. , but theres a lot of assumptions that it can miniaturize them, load them on a blising missile and launch them on the u. S. Mainland. It doesnt seem to be quite there yet, but it must be taken seriously when you have any of these threats coming out of north korea. And thats why were seeing this response from the United States, from south korea and from around the region. If if we strip away all the talk of attacking the u. S. And its allies and just focus on the stuff here about restarting the Nuclear Program, in the past, the North Koreans have been pretty up front and true to their word when it comes to the Nuclear Program and Missile Launches. They have kept their word. When they said theyll do something, theyll do it. Any reason to suspect that may not be the case this time . Well, i guess, the reason to suspect it might not be the case is simply because simply we cant verify anything coming oit of north korea. On the other hand, as we have been discussing these threats must be taken seriously. When it comes to the korean peninsula, the talk on the International Stage is on how to get north korea to denuclearize. And what we can see here is that it simply has no intention of doing that. It seems to be the ambition of kim jong un. And then the extra information we have beyond what the north korean regime says comes out of the expert analysis with we saw the analyst talking about snow melt on the buildingles. What some analysis is saying that does indicate heating in the buildings, that there is expansion, but on the other hand it may not necessarily indicate that the complex is fully operational at, for example, the uranium enrichment sites. So it all must be taken with a grain of salt, but also taken seriously, joen. John. Thank you. Kathy novak live for us this hour in seoul, south korea. When we come back, the iranians are listening, especially to what the republican president ial candidate has been saying. How the iranians feel about their opposition to the nuclear deal.

Our crews have been putting the finishing touches on that stage over there. And our special coverage begins 6 00 p. M. Eastern time in the u. S. That will be 11 00 p. M. In london. Its worth staying up for, 6 00 a. M. Thursday in hong kong, worth getting up early for. And while most of the candidates spent tuesday getting ready, donald trump spoke to supporters aboard the u. S. S. Iowa which is moored in los angeles. He promised to strengthen the u. S. Military and support the countrys veterans. He also took a shot at the Iran Nuclear Deal. It is one of the dumbest deals and one of the weakest contracts ive ever seen of any kind. Were not going to sign deals where we have four prisoners over there and theyre still there and we dont even ask if one of them is there because hes a christian. We have a writer. The whole thing is absolutely insane. And trump is not alone among the republicans who are opposing the Iran Nuclear Deal. The agreement is expected to feature prominently in this Republican Debate. The iranians are closely listening to what those candidates have to say. From donald trump to jeb bush to Carly Fiorina. Republican president ial candidates have been talking tough on iran. Some even threatening to cancel the Nuclear Agreement if they win. Words that have some am lists worried. If you live in iran, you should be afraid, whats going to happen . Is there a plan to attack iran . Are they planning to attack iran . What will happen to us . On tehran streets, as you would expect, the majority dont even know the names of the gop candidates. Of course, the vast majority of the iranians arent following the campaign, especially in the early stages, but there certainly are some who are frustrated with the way Many Republican candidates have been criticizing their country. Those we spoke to also believe the rhetoric coming from the candidates is just that, campaign talk. When they speak about the nuclear deal, they dont think about the benefit for the American People, this man says. They just think about their own benefit. So i think the republicans have shown that for their benefit, they will do anything. As far as i know, this is the party of george bush and Ronald Reagan, this man adds. They were much stronger than these people and they could not touch us either so these guys cant do anything. Contempt from irans hard liners. The kahan newspaper is the voice of the countrys conservatives. Its bos is an official representative of irans supreme leader. He picked on the last republican president s brother. Jeb bushs talk is bigger than his mouth, he said. He should consider if he really wants to continue the failed policy of his brother. Dont care what the republicans say. The its a big step from talking to action. While many dismissed the tough talk, as the election draws closer, many more will pay attention, eager to see what a new president means for u. S. Iranian relations. There have been so many sad stories coming out of the refugee crisis sweeping i cross europe and the middle east. There have also been occasional moments of hope. We met some brave women who escaped isis and are now rebuilding their lives. And theyre doing it through photography. These are just a small group of girls who escaped last august when isis brutally encroached upon their homes, killing and capturing many. They now heal through photography at a camp for displaced yazidis. This project run by unicef helps empower girls to tell their own stories through photos. 19 years old, this picture is my favorite picture. I took it in a course. It is favorite picture, because this woman was working at a tailor. She doesnt give up. Some of these girls were captured and abused by isis and now have found a way to rebuild their lives. Many hundreds didnt have the same chance. This video circulated online shows isis fighters selling captured yazidi women. But for those who escaped, its a chance to rebuild and heal. This place is called lalesh. Theres sacred yazidi graves here that people visit. I took this photoof an old yazidi woman in the camp. I took this photo because it shows her sad facial expressions. Weve heard stories of great sadness, but there are also stories of incredible resilience and empowerment. And these young women are telling their stories through their own pictures and their own words. Translator this photo is my favorite. Theres fatigue in her face. Her face expressed tiredness. Translator i chose to take this photo because she was wearing traditional yazidi clothes. In a camp where nearly half the residents are children, cases like these are replete with stories of loss. The u. N. Estimates that hundreds of girls and women are still missing, held by isis as sex slaves. The exact number is hard to determine. For now, life through the lens capture s tales of tragedy and hope. Hi. I am a photojournalist. When we come back, the u. S. Says the russians appear to be building a military base in syria, and thats stoking fears the kremlin may be about to get involved in the civil war there.

Australia says its air force carried out its First Successful air strikes over Eastern Syria this week. The australians say these operations will continue over Northern Iraq and also Eastern Syria. U. S. Military Officials Say they blooe russia is trying to set up a military base inside syria. Russian troops on the ground and dozens of vehicles a as well. John kerry is warning russia not to support syrian president Bashar Al Assad saying it could make the conflict worse. But its developing weapons from syria. General francona, thanks for being with us. Should the u. S. And its allies look at this russian involvement is a less bad option than a failed state controlled by isis . Yeah, for some people thats tempting, because the russians can bring a lot of fire power to bear. They have the skills and equipment necessary to take on isis if they want to do that. And you have to give president putin credit. He has assessed the threat to his interests and hes deployed a sizable force to syria to take care of it. We, on the other hand, are getting in their way. Were forcing them to take the long way around. They used to fly down over europe, now were forcing them to fly over iran and iraq pits much longer and harder for them to do, but theyre doing it. Im not sure that mr. Kerrys warnings are going to carry much weight with the russians. They see a threat to the national interest, theyre going to address it. And we had putin saying they may be responsible for con vi convincing assad to shea power. Again, isnt that a better outcome than 234ig weve seen in the past four years since the obama said assad, lets go. Right, thingser are different than when we first said that. We saw the rise of isis and the utter collapse of the civilian society in syria. The situation has changed drastical drastically. The russians are interested in maintaining some sort of presence in syria after this is all over. So theyre willing to do whatever it takes to maintain that presence. If that means throwing Bashar Al Assad under the bus, they may do so. Theres a possibility the russians may ease him out in favor of someboy who will be favorable to their interests. They want to keep that naval base theyve had for years. With the u. S. And its allies plan, with the u. S. And allied plan comes the very real prospect of what they call c catastrophic success. In other words, if assad goes, the entire place falls apart like leeb yeah. Yes, and thats a threat. If al assad goes, what follows him . Were looking at the battle not of damascus. Were looking for a battle for damascus. It will ignite even more of a civil war thats there now. Right now, damascus has been fairly peaceful, but all bets are off if bashar is forced out of power. Notice where russians are putting that air base. Its in the northwestern corner of syria where his family is from. So its quite clear that the russians are backing him right now. But i dont know how long thats going to last. Yeah. Theres some speculation that it that could essentially be a hiding place or safe haven for assad to go to. While he maybe could still be in power without actually yielding power . Yeah. Thats a good point. This area up there is probably is easily defended because its surrounded by a mountain range. Although the rebels are getting close, getting over the mountains is impunity. Its very close to their naval base. So its a good place for them to be. Very quickly, if the russians are there to fight isis, which is what pew ten said. Why are they installing advanced air systems. I didnt think isis had an air force. Theyre very tactical and very short range. I wouldnt really regard that as a threat. Any military force, any prudent deployment will be with air defense assets. We take ours when we go. Okay. I was trying to read something more into that. A disputed phone call between russias president and elton john is causing confusion. On tuesday, the rock star announced on his Instagram Account that Vladimir Putin phoned him to discus lgbt equality in russia. But a putin spokesman said that phone call never happened, all though putin would be willing to discuss human rights issues. Still to come here, super fans, stat your engines. The political debate season is pick into high gear. Plus, a story we think you social media junkies out there will like a lot. Facebook will soon be introducing that thumbs down button.

Donald trump says he plans to make the military so strong no other country would ever dare mess with the United States. The republican president ial frontrunner touched on his vision for National Security onboard the battleship u. S. S. Iowa. He says if he is president , he will come up with a plan to take care of veterans that in his word will be very special. Trump says its a shame that the u. S. Treats Illegal Immigrants better than veterans. And he repeated his pledge to build that wall on the border with mexico. The drugs come in, the money goes out daily. And i saw it, because i was on the border. I was there. And we have the kind of people that can do something about it. Racist goes home po testers lined up chant raisist go home. Ben carson closing in on donald trump. Frontrunner is closing in. John berman has the details. The polls come out and were really killing it. We are killing it. Tonight, new polls for cbs news and the New York Times shows ben carson further than ever with jeb bush further enand further back. Bush dropped seven points since august. So far, though, nothing and no one has managed to push trump from his perch. Whats donald trump say about the decision . When you when the going gets tough, the tough go negative. For the first time an outside group, the conservative club for growth opened its wallet. Trump, the worst kind of politician. Announcing they will spend more than 1 million on two ads in iowa Bashing Trump for what they call his liberal economic ideas. He has a record, and its very liberal. Hes really just playing us for chumps. Not to be out antitrumped, governor bobby jindahl, polling at less than 1 , released a new video, too attacking how trump shapes his Foreign Policy views. In all fairness, what do i know . But he doesnt sound too son concerned. So the debate. I hear theyre all coming after me. Whatever. Whatever. Trump says he is willing to play mr. Nice guy.

Youll see it only here on cnn. Meantime, u. S. Vice President Joe Biden is marking heritage month with a swipe at donald trump. He says the antiimmigration stance is a sick mess which has been tried on america before. Folks, i dont want anybody to be down right now about thats going on in the republican party. I mean this sincerely now. No, im being deadly earnest about this. I want you to remember, notwithstanding the fact that theres one guy absolutely den grading an entire group of people, appealing to the baser side of human nature. Working on this notion of xenophobia in a way that hasnt occurred in a long time. Vice President Biden says americans are more drawn to the positive messages of pope francis who will visit the United States next week. Floodwaters and debris. 16 people are confirmed dead. Many of the victims are women and children. The cars were stuck at a flooded creek when they were hit by a wall of water surging down that canyon. Several people who were out hiking also died. In Northern California, light rain forecast for wednesday may help firefighters battling a number of wildfires in that droughtstricken state. A fire has destroyed hundreds of homes and killed an elderly woman. Thousands of buildings are still under threat. The fire is at least 15 contain 37d Stephanie Elam is in middletown, which was nearly obliterated by the fastmoving flames. Evacuation orders are still in place for thousands of residents. And let me show you why. If you take a look right here, youve got telephone cables, just dangling. And if you look up, youll see that this entire contraption is just hanging off of power cords. It makes you wonder, what happened to the telephone pole . Well, take a look at this. Days after the fire raged through here, this telephone pole is still on fire, and so are those cables. And thats the thing about wildfire. Just because a fire went through here a couple of days ago doesnt mean the situation and the drama is done. As you get deeper inside the fire line, youll find there are still hot spots smoldering and blowing off smoke in an eerie light. As you can see this part of the forest has just been burned out by the fire that raged through here. But whats most important is how close this area here is to this house. Take a look at this. Somebody was working to save this house because this hoes is right here. And they did do it. This house is just fine. But this isnt the only danger this house was facing. The wires that are connected to this house are connected to this telephone pole. We came through here before. It was on fire. We were afraid it was going to call through the road. Clearly that happened. Firefighters cutting it to get up here. I want to show you how dangerous the situation was up this hill. And for all efforts to save that house at the bomb of the hill, this house was a complete loss. Take a look for this family that lived here. Theres just a few things that are recognizable. I can see the washer, the drier, maybe an air conditioning unit. But for the most part, this house is gone. And thats like many of the houses that are up on this mountain where we are right now. And then look further over there, that flame over there is gas. It is still going, and thats part of the reason why this is just too precarious of an area for them to allow residents back in. This tree behind me with the orange tape, thats what you call a snag. That is a tree that is dead because the wildfire gutted it. Crews will come here and cut these trees down. If they were to fall down on their own, it would take months and they could crush a house, they could crush a road. But look how hot this fire got. It even gutted out this tree here. And thats the reason why when they mark these trees, crews want to bring them down now and not let them fall on their own time. The forecast is so important. The light rain, definitely a little bit of help. When were looking at thursday into friday, this storm system looks pretty impressive. We think about a quarter of an inch, maybe half an inch of rain. The totals, not entirely impressive, a quarter to half an inch. Still much more than what theyve seen in recent months. A perspective from the south, remarkable hateful totals in downtown los angeles. The single wettest day so far in two years across los angeles. Santa monica, Beverly Hills in and around two inches. Out of 4,000 september days, this particular rain event was among the most impressive. The second wettest september date on record in 4,000 days observed. September, this was pretty impressive in and of itself to see this much rain coming down in the dry season. But, of course, excess hateful across colorado, utah into Colorado City in northern arizona. The town getting a hateful which is estimated to be on the horder of 1 in every 200year event. The severity is as impressive. The fatalities occurring because of people trapped in their vehicles. When you take a cubic yard of water, essentially a moving box filled with water, that weighs about 1,700 pounds. If you have a couple of those, you talk about weighing more than an average vehicle. When you put that across cars trying to pass on roadways, it becomes a very, very dangerous scenario. Quick glance, another image i want to share with you, some snow showers coming down over this region. And, of course, whats been one of the driest years on record. Going back in the past 40 or so years, we know the data indicates 2015, the snow pack about 5 of the what is considered normal. We know a published study here on monday revealed pretty fascinating study as well. We talked about the lack of snowfall, but scientists analyzed tree rings and also just looking through the records the ripgs and the way theyre separated. They showed this is one driest seasons in 500 years. If its a rainy season, the trees are getting sufficient water and snow melt, it allows the rings to be spaced apart. The year 1500 was the last time. Thank you for that. We go now to the latest in the migrant crisis in europe. And these are live pictures of the serbia hungary border right now. Just after 7 00 in the morning. You can see so many people there camped out in tents just waiting for some kind of permission to get across that border then make their way Across Europe and into germany. That is where they want to go because they have the easiest immigration policies. Now, serbias interior minister visited with some of the migrants on tuesday night. Another serbian official said his country never got word from hungary that they were sealing the border. Now hundreds of migrants, as you can see there, have been waiting and theyre hoping eventually theyll be able to continue the jurn noo e. I am going to try as much as i can to persuade my hungarian colleagues to allow them to continue their journey. And in the meantime, were going to provide some food, medicines, water, and to try to react as we did in the last several months as humanely as possible. Thats the best that we can do. We didnt create the crisis, and our job is to make, of course, serbia as sauf as possible, but alsos to care about these people and show that we are humane enough. Hungary says its accepted 70 asylum applications and rejected 40. Those who havent made it into hungary say theyre not going anywhere until they can continue on through europe. Ben wedeman has the story. Reporter hungary imposed harsh penalties for anyone trying to get over. Baffled by the sudden change, this syrian from aleppo had a message for the Prime Minister of hungary. We want to pass to germany, austria, denmark, sweden, he says. No one wants to stay in your country. Vows this iraqi, well wait here for six years if we have to. We have nothing left to lose. But hungary says it must control its borders. Hundreds are now camped out in fields by the fence, hoping hungary will soften its stance. More are on the way. This 50yearold and his family have traveled for two months from afghanistan, sleeping in the rough has become routine. Bathroom . Toilet . No toilet. No washing. Nothing, just out here . Yes. Wire and Border Police have temporarily stopped their progress, but despite their exhaustion, their determination to move ahead is undiminished. Aid officials seem flabbergasted by the scale of this crisis. I never thought i will see Something Like that in europe. If europe has common european asylum system, and you look at this mess here, when y is it . Reporter not here. The children may be too young to understand, while the parents, their fate yet again in the hands of the powerful, can only hope for a solution. At t moment, hungary seems unwilling to open its gates, but for some of these people who have come from as far away as afghanistan, turning around and going home is not an option. Ben wedeman, cnn on the serbi serbian hungary ran border. If the refugees do, in of the, reach germany, the chancellor Angela Merkel said there will be centers where they can go and be resettled across the country. Translator the army is willing to offer more personnel in order to cope with all the logistic challenges in the new hubs that are yet to be created. All in all, there was a clear, Common Ground that said that we want to offer protection to those people who need our protection. And that we will do all we can in our power to achieve this. When we come back, north korea again making threats saying theyre ready to use weapon against the u. S. And pretty much anybody else. Were live in seoul with the details. Also ahead, new satellite images suggest russia is setting up a military base in syria and the americans are worried. Those detail a little later. People dont have to think about where their electricity comes from. They flip the switch and the light comes on. Its our job to make sure that it does.

The white house has ponded with a warning of its own. North korea should refrain from irresponsible provocations that increase tensions and should instead focus on its obligations and commitments. The position of the United States, including Significant Players in the region, that that we will not accept north korea as a nuclear state. Live now, kathy novak standing by at this point. They put together a plunt statement their Nuclear Program has steadily improved over the last if uh years. Is there any way to quantity fie that . Well, they were referring to improvements to their main complex quoting in the news state agency, an unnamed director in the Atomic Energy institute saying that scientists are constantly working to steadily improve the quantity and quality of their weapon. And what he was stressing in this article was that north kor koreas position is that its in selfdefense. Its a deterrent for what it seas as hostility from the United States and warning that if the u. S. Continues what it says is a hostile policy that north korea stands ready to respond with Nuclear Weapons. Of course, the United States, South Koreans and others see north koreas rhetoric as provocative in itself, not at all in selfdefense. The question is, what does north korea really have the ability to do . It has been saying for two years now it was planning to restart operations at this complex. And in this article, what it seems to be confirming is that it says that operations are back to normal. But we cant really say exactly what that means. What kind of capacity north korea really does have. But analysts do say there has been evidence through satellite imagery that north korea has been following through on its promise to expand this facility. All this comes after we had the north apologizing for that mine explosion on the border with the south, which seriously injured two south korean troops. We have a family reunions, which are back on the agenda. Were these threats almost expected as a way to bolster the regime, keep this sycophancy alive that the threat of war is never far away . They were to a certain extent, john. We have a major anniversary coming up in just a few weeks. On october 10, north korea will be marking the founding, the 70th anniversary of the founding of its Workers Party. There has been speculation that kim jong un is planning some provocative action, perhaps a Missile Launch, perhaps another nuclear test. And what one analyst was explaining to me is the way he sees it is north korea is trying to get the attention of the International Community, and especially the United States to keep up this level of prock vags so it can force some kind of reaction and get what it wants in return in the form of economic aid, john. We go to israel now where there are threats of new penalties after a Third Straight day of lie vens. Stun grenades and tear gas at palestinians throwing rocks. They said they were trying to secure the plaza while palestinians were trying to disrupt visit on the jewish new year. Benjamin netanyahu promised tougher punishment for those who are throwing rocks, as well as fire bombs. The compound is holy to both muslims and jews. Australia says its air force carried out its First Successful air strike in Eastern Syria. Isis Armored Vehicle was destroyed. Australia is already participating in the u. S. Led coalition in iraq and agreed to expand air strikes in syria after a request from washington. Snuly released sat lied images suggest a Russian Military buildup is under way in western syria. The pentagon has accused them of attempting to forward a base. Thats a crucial bastion of support. By the way, russian denials of involvement in this brutal conflict appear to be eroding. If it werent for moscow opening the syrian government, this carnage would worsen as the humanitarian crisis intensifies. Eve been providing all military Technical Assistance and call on other countries to join us. If russian hadnt been supporting syria, the situation there would be worse than in leeb yeah, and we would see more refugees. But its the level of that mull tear support that continues to raise concerns. U. S. Officials say russia appears to be dramatically increasing its military footprint in syria bypassing nato restrictions to fly in weapons and supplies. Recent satellite images of the government held air base in syria appear to be expanded. It suggests it sbepds to accomplish some Forward Operating base there. But u. S. Officials reveal the real intentions are as yet unclear. To build an antiisis coalition to support its syrian ally. Or simply to send a message to the west that russia is back. When we come back here on cnn, many thought Carly Fiorina won the first happy hour debate. And now gets a chance at the big kids table on wednesday night. Detail whence we come back. Also ahead, a look at a funeral which symbolizes Northern Irelands troubled past and uncertain future. The possibility of a flare swas almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Feel like this. Look like this. Feel like this. With dreamwalk insoles, turn shoes that can be a pain into comfortable ones. Their soft cushioning support means you can look like this. And feel like this. Dreamwalk.

And if doesnt perform well for two consecutive gold. Quarters. Quarters. Yup. Then amerivest gives me back their advisory. Stocks. Fees. Fees. Fees for those quarters. Yeah. So, im confident im in good hands. For all the confidence you need. Td ameritrade. You got this. Welcome back, everybody. Thanks for staying with us. The im john vause and the headlines this hour. The interior minister says he will try to persuade hungarian authorities to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants across the border. 70 asylum applications have been accepted. 40 rejected, nearly 300 have been arrested for crossing illegally. In utah, search efforts will resume within hours for four people still missing in the flash flads. Floodwaters and debris came roaring down a canyon, sweeping away cars in their path. 16 people, most of them mothers with their children were killed. Politician fired tear gas and stun grenades at palestinians throwing rocks. Israels Prime Minister held an emergency meeting on thursday, promising tough new laws if this continues. The compound is a holy site for muslims and jews. Have we mentioned it lately . Were less than 24 hours away from the cnn republican president ial debate. And one candidate is the former hewlettpackard ceo Carly Fiorina. Its not about your title. Its not about your ego. Carly fiorina will be the only female candidate on stage. Is now take on the frontrunner, donald trump. This latest hit from a Fiorina Super pac answering trumps personal attack. Look at this face. This is the face of a 61yearold woman. I am proud of every year and every wrinkle. The comeback following this insult trump seemed to make about fiorinas appearance. Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that . Can you imagine that . The face of our next president . Trump later tried to clean it up. Im talk about her persona. Many of those comments are made as an entertainer. Fiorinas strategy so far . Turn trumps own wards against him. Donald trump is an entertainer. And so he says things that are entertaining. I think these are serious times. That call for real leadership. The big debate is a potential make or break moment for fiorina who has registered just Single Digits in the polls. Fiorina and trump are trading insults. The fact is that carly fiorifi yoyes or no that has had a terrible pass. She was fired viciously from e hewlettpacka hewlettpackard. She was a disastroceo. The face of leadership of our party, the party of womens suffrage. And over leadership skills. I will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. Leadership is not about the size of your office, the size of your airplane, the size of your helicopter. Fiorina was widely declared the winner between the second tier candidates. I just ask which are the principles by which he will govern. According to a cnn poll, sh hes getting just 3 of support from republicans nationwide, meanwhile trump is leading with 33 . Thanks for that report. And a new pole shows ben carson closing fast on donald trump. The cbs news New York Times survey shows prufrp on 27 , followed by carson. 37 . Thats a jump of 17 points from the last poll, which was taken just before the first Republican Debate in august. I spoke with ben ferguson about the surgeons surge. Explain to me, not the why, but the ho uh. How did carson actually jump 17 points . Like everybody else not called trump, he hasnt gotten a lot of coverage. I havent seen a lot of advertising. He speaks really quietly. How did his chasm campaign do . . Its because hes talking policy and actual ideas. Hes talking initiatives and what he would do differently with specifics and not generalities. I think there was a big hunger within the gop for someone to talk about actual policy ideas and plans that they can understand, that you can sit there and discuss and analyze. Whereas many of the other candidates out there, they went after donald trump and tried to jut trump him. They got into fights wars with him. That didnt work. But ben carson didnt overreach. He didnt try to be a candidate hes not. And i think people really liked that. And to of the that people said he was del and boring. When donl trump says youre more boring and jeb bush and you could fall asleep listening to this guy, i think it actually made people listen more to what he was saying and they wanted to know if he was really, in fact, that boring. If you listen to him, hes a really smart guy. Could this be the time when some of those candidates who arent getting air time or oxygen, will they start dropping out for no other reason other than money . There isnt enough money to keep candidates in the game. If they dont do well its hard to convince the donors to keep coughing snup. If youre in the 2, 3, 4 percentage pole pols nationally right now, this debate is nitly your political life on stage. Weve got two debates. The kid diwarmup table. Is it really all over for them . Try who are they debating . They cant take on donald trump, the frontrunner. Theyre not debating each other. Who really cares. None of them really have a chance of getting the nomination. Whats the point of the second tier debate . Look at Carly Fiorina. She became the first winner out of the first one. Do you think there will be another bra eckout candidate from this debate . I think there absolutely can be. And heres the one interesting thing about donald trump, the x factor in this race. There are going to be so many people that watch this debate tomorrow night that never would have even thought about watching, 14 months before the election day. Think about this. 14 months ute, but i know people that can care less about flicks that are literally scheduling wednesday night like its a monday night Football Game for their hometown they love because they want to see whats going to happen. If people are talking about you the same way they were with Carly Fiorina, it can at put you into a new level. It will be a big night on wednesday at the Ronald Reagan president ial library in simi valley, california. And many candidates are looking to the teflon president for a little inspare ration. For me, Ronald Reagan is something special. He helped me shape my view of the world. I intend to follow Ronald Reagans 11th commandment. The 11th commandment reprevailsing and that is thou shall not speak ill of another republican. Were not going to be so politically correct anymore. We now know when the majority leader looks us in the eyes and makes an explicit commitment, hes willing to say things he knows are false. Hes becoming a jack ass. When youre sitting in a s subcommittee just blowing ho the air about this. I dont think hes read the bible because hes not in it. This is a complete narcissist. Its been a fun show. The idea of donald trump is great. The reality is awful. I think hes highly overrated and i have much better hair than he is. I dont think some of the language that mr. Trump is employing is worthy of the office. I dont see how in the long haul you can insult your way into the nomination, certainly not the presidency. There are a lot more memorable highligmemory highlights from richard nixon. There was the you betcha from sarah palin as well. Find it all on our website. When we come back, new images on the attack of a tourist convoy in egypt, but the questions are still there. How did this happen . More when we come back. At t and directv are now one. Which means you can watch movies while youre on the move. Sitcoms, while you sit on those. And even fargo, in fargo binge, while you lose weight and enjoy a good cliffhanger while you hang from a. Why am i yelling . The revolution will not only be televised. The revolution will be mobilized. Introducing the all in one plan. Only from directv and at t. Thats a big bull.

Talks are expected to kick up in ireland. The goal is to try and save the power sharing government. This comes amid concerns the Irish Republican Army still exists. In the meantime, a man killed and secretly buried by the i. R. A. More than 40 years ago has finally been laid to rest. Heres cnnnic robertson. Reporter without fanfare, a reminder of Northern Irelands past is laid to rest. Shaken wright, killed in 1972, his body not found until this summ summer. The 25yearold, one of 16 socalled dispyred. Executed by the i. R. A. , secretly buried. Anne morgans brother is another of the disappeared. His body is still missing. Seeing her own children inherit her suffering. Its unresolved. I think for me thats one of the worst sides of this now. The conflict here has been over for almost two decades, yet on days like this one, the past comes back to torment the present. Northern ireland didnt ever have a peace and reconciliation the way that south africa did where the parties came together in a sometimes painful, sometimes cathartic confession of crimes skmited during the war. Here instead, the past resurrects itself and comes back to haunt the future. You should be ashamed of yourself. Today, the ills of the past are as alive for some as the moment they were made fresh. All of the victims right there and their family. This kree owe of women, unrelated to the disappeared accost politicians, demanding help. Hoping for closure. And leave us in peace to grieve our loved ones. Tourists, who have come to see how far forward Northern Ireland has advanced watch from feet away. All of this, as politicians dispute the past amongst themselves and battle over the future of the power sharing assembly. Once a beacon of hope for a better future. These guys cant agree to what happened. The legacy of the past is a key issue. The past, the present, the future, all colliding. The politicians havent grasped the people on the ground need good leadership. I think if theres good leadership, we would be able to move forward. Yesterdays wounds need healing, not just for anne morgan and seamus wrights family, but for all of the people of this province. Otherwise peace will be as elusive as its ever been. Nic robertson, cnn, febelfast, Northern Ireland. We now know eight mexican tourists. It was a case of mistaken identity. The president has said Security Forces mistook the group for terrorists. Hes offered condolences. But as ian lee roorts, mexico is still demanding answers. Whats left of a tour group from mexico after being hit by an egyptian air strike . Footage shows burnt out suvs along with several body. Eight mexican nationals and four egyptians were killed in the attack. A witness to the aftermath describes two bhisles hit four vehicles. A jet, also shot at at them with a machine gun. 9 goth says the army mistook the tourists for terrorists during the operation, but ultimately blames the Tour Operator for not having permits and entering a restricted zone. That despite 5 policeman accompanying them during the atta attack. The tourists were having a picnic off the road when the attack occurred. The Egyptian Army has come under criticism for not verifying their target before firing. In addition to those killed, nine others were injured and taken to a cairo hospital. They are in stable kchb.

Plus the search for women and children swept away by floods in the western United States continues. Well get you an update on this story. One day before he stakes the stage, donald trump rallies voters on a battle ship. Hello, welcome to those of you tuned in from around the world. This is cnn news room. The stage is literally set for wednesday nights cnn republican president ial debate. While most of the candidates spent the day preparing, donald trump was true to form on the campaign trail. The billionaire reality tv star talks about his vision of the future. He promised to take better care of the countrys veterans and make the military stronger. Trump was short on spreecifics t he didnt hold back on the bluster. Were going to come out with plans in a short time. Were going to be building up our military. Were going to make our military so big and strong and great. [ applause ] and it will be so powerful that i dont think were ever going to have to use it. Nobody is going to mess with us. Now, a new poll shows republicans ben carson closing in on donald trump. In the meantime, the frontrunner is getting ready for a new round of attacks in wednesday nights debate. John berman has more. The polls come out and were really killing it. We are killing it. Reporter a new poll from the New York Times shows ben carson closer than ever with jeb bush drifting farther back. Cars bush has dropped 7 points since august. Nothing and no one has managed to push trump from its perch. But when the going gets tough, the tough go negative. For the first time an outside group, the conservative club for growth opened its wall let. Trump, the worst kind of politici politician. Reporter announcing theyll spend more money in iowa on ads. He has a record, and its very liberal. Hes really just playing us for chumps. Reporter jindal released a new video too. Attacking how trump shapes his Foreign Policy views. In all fairness, what do i know . Reporter trump knows the attacks are coming but doesnt sound too concerned. So, the debate. I hear theyre all going after me. Whatever. Whatever. Reporter and despite recent dusups with carson and fee reif not to mention the others, trump says hes ready to say nice guyish. I like carly, and i like ben. Many of these people are terrific people, but nobody is going to be able to do the job that im going to do. Nobody. Reporter jeb bush supporters beg to differ. A super pac backing bush is unleashing its vast war chest spending 24 million on ads in iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina to highlight his achooe achievements as governor of florida. Hoping something, if not spending, will make people listen. John berman, cnn, california. Our political analyst joins us from washington d. C. To talk about all of us. Josh, great to have you with me. Donald trump continues to lead in the polls, and by far, so that means he has the spotlight and the target on his back in his latest speech in front of a decommissioned battle ship. Hell provide specifics now on National Security. What do you make of this move before the big debate . Sure. Well, up until now, some of the gop candidates have made the decision between engaging trump or ignoring him. Now that hes still leading after the first debate, ignoring him is no longer an option. All the other candidates on the stage are going to have to engage him in one way or the other. One of the things theyre likely to engage him on is Foreign Policy. A radio broadcaster caught trump in something of a stumble last week when he didnt know the kurds from the quads force. A lot of candidates will try to force him to put meat on the bone of his policy proposals and show that he doesnt have the experience to be commander in chief. For trump, there hasnt been anything yet thats really dinged him. It remains to see if the attacks will be successful. Its getting intense. How concerned should the trump team be at groups like the club for growth, for example, saying theyll spend 1 million in iowa ge against trump because they see his views as too liberal. Trump has said hes not overly concerned about the tens of millions of dollars being poured into ads by the republican spectrum. He says all publicity has good publicity. Its all about staying on the news and the more people attack him, the more he can play the victim, and theres no cost of attacking back. The more he gets attacks, the more hes seen as the victim, he can attack back and use it to propel his own narrative. When we look at the other ten republicans joining him, they all have quite a lot to lose here. Carly fiorina, for example, also seen as an outside candidate, has been moving up in the polls. She fought for his space on stage. We expect her to go toe to toe with trump. Bush has fallen into the Single Digits. How much elbowing will we see from them . I think well see the stakes are high for all the candidates. Carly fiorina is now on the main debate stage for the first time. She is obligated and will be pressured to prove that she can hold her own with all of these other powerful figures, and she is uncharacteristically, risen in the polls since her latest battle with trumps. Most of the others have suffered in the polls following that encounter. Thats her task f. For bush and walker and to a lesser extent, Chris Christie, they see their poll numbers falling fast. They have to do something to change the tide. They see themselves becoming less and less relevant, and this is a big problem. Theres no amount of money that can solve it. They realize this is their chance to take some of the attention that is Going Forward trump on this huge stage and make their argument. Theyre going to have to be aggressive. Their going to try to focus on themselves and will probably be unsuccessful at that. And its important, the issues discussed, but because donald trump is there and because he hasnt limited what hes said, this is sure to be Good Television as well. Josh rogen, our political analyst, thanks for breaking some of it down. Any time. And join us wednesday night for the republican president ial debate. The live coverage begins at 6 eastern time in the states. 11 00 p. M. For those of you in london on on cnn. And joe biden is marking hispanic heritage month by a swipe at month. I want you to remember notwithstanding the fact that theres one guy absolutely denigrating an entire group of people, appealing to the baser side of human nature, working on this notion of accident phobia in a way that hasnt occurred in a long time since the nonothing party at the end of the 19th century. Folks, the American People are with us. I know it doesnt feel like that, but im telling you, the American People agree with us. Biden says americans are more drawn to the positive messages of pope francis who will be visiting the u. S. Next week. So some other stories were following for you. In utah search and rescue crews will be back out to look for four people missing in flash floods. A wall of water and debris came roaring down a canyon and sweeping away cars, 16 people, most of them women and children were killed in the flooding. We report, many of the victims were returning from a trip to a park when this disaster hit. Reporter a frantic search using heavy machinery, or their own muscle. Volunteer chris whiler dug all night. I was picturing if it was one of my babies out there, and i wanted to keep pushing. Reporter desperate to find the women and their children, one as young as four years old, swept away in these rushing waters. They were in their cars when flash floods struck caused by heavy rain in the mountains above this canyon town. As the search stretches into the morning hours, relatives and friends begin to line the muddy banks. Many in this community are members of flds. They learn three survived. The rest either missing or found dead. Flash floods can overwhelm without warning. This woman was recording this video, not worried at first at the time we were awe struck. It was amazing. Reporter then this happened. When you saw those kids and the women coming out of that car . I didnt realize until then. Then my heart started pounding. Then i was like oh, my goodness. This is seriously dangerous. And then it started, the vehicle started sliding. Reporter all the victims in this car escape unharmed. But for the others missing on the banks of this river, a deeply religious Community Prays for a miracle. Cnn, Colorado City, arizona. Pedram joins us with more on the story. You have a sense that people dont realize how powerful the water is when its covering a road. During my time in arizona, they would always say if you cant see that youll be able to get through the water, avoid it all together. This is how people have died. Thats how it happens. And people underestimate the weight of the water. Take a moving box, fill that with water, that weighs about 1700 pounds. You put several of these as far as that amount of water around the vehicle, youre talking about it weighing more than a vehicle. Thats why flash flooding is the number one weather related killer. Part of what occurred, it was a one in 200year event, two inches per hour over this region. The other one has a lot to do with what occurred over the roadways. At about 4 30 in the afternoon, 2 30 in the afternoon, they peaked at 4 feet. They dropped, and then take a look at what happened within 15 minutes, another surge of peak occurred there with water levels getting up to 6 feet before the gauge stopped reporting. Thats something thats worth noting with this particular flooding event where people go outside and see the conditions improved, and then it gets worse within 15 minutes of the initial flood. Well talk about additional rainfall. We know the valley fire, one of the more destructive fires across the state of california turning into a bad situation when it comes to over 60,000 acres. Rainfall in the forecast, about a quarter of an inch, and the butte fire gets rain. This time of year, june through september, the driest time of the year for southern california. L. A. Picked up nearly 2 1 2 inches of rainfall. Thats the single westest day in two years. An impressive sight for them as far as rainfall there. Snowfall was the name of the game across the sierras. We know theres a major snow drought across the sierra nevada, one of the driest on record, but the data goes back about 50 years as far as indicating how poor this year has been, but a new study, the scientists analyzed tree rings and looked at the core of the tree rings. When you look carefully, you know dry seasons within tree rings are indicated by compacted tree rings that are bunched up together. The tree is becoming stressed so the rings are tighter. Very accurate when you look at the error margin, its small. When you have wet seasons, you see the tree rings that are quite wide as the moisture is prevalent and snow melt helps. Thats something that theyre observing, and the last time the tree rings were this stressed, youd have to go back to the 1500s, when it comes to about 500 years of tree ring observations showing us this particular year looks to be the worst in about 500 years. All the firefighters have been saying theyve never seen anything like what were witnessing now. Its unprecedented. Thank you very much. The sole survivor of the shooting attack that happened during a live tv news broadcast is now sharing her story. Vickie gardener, a chamber of commerce official was being interviewed when a gunman opened fire and shot her. That incident killed two tv journalists last month. She tells fox news how the tragic event unfolded. He basically came up behind, were talking, and, again, it was a tiny bit of a distraction.

The children may be too young to understand while the parents, their fate yet again in the hands of the powerful, can only hope for a solution. At the moment, hungary seems unwilling to open its gates but for some of these people who have come from as far away as zba afghanistan, turning around and going home is not an option. Cnn on the serbian hungarian border. Barack obama is weighing in on the migrant crisis during a meeting on tuesday, he said the crisis has gotten worse and that the source of the problem needs to be dealt with. We agreed that this is going to require cooperation with all the european countries, and the United States and the International Community in order to ensure that people are safe, that they are treated with shared humanity, and that we ultimately have to deal with the source of the problem, which is the ongoing crisis in syria.

A fad battery on guam and japan in order to be ready and vigilant for anything they may or may not do. Reporter why is kim doing all that now . Experts say hes under a great deal of pressure at the moment. Kim has to show strengths for the upcoming anniversary of the north korea dictatorship and hes trying to keep the military leaders happy and letting them flex their nuclear muscle could keep them at bay for the moment. Lets talk about this now with kathy novak. She joins us from seoul to discuss this issue. It was roughly this time yesterday when you were reporting these initial reports coming out of north korea about it improving the nuclear capability. Its always troubling, because pung young is so unpredictable, but its predictably unpredictable. Whats the level of concern of what were hearing from the north . I think thats a fair assessment, errol, and if north korea was seeking to grab the headlines, thats what it did. Its been getting a lot of media play between that and the announcement and that its in the announcement of launching a new satellite. Its grabbing attention and response here. We saw the south korean president having a prescheduled meeting, and they released a joint statement condemning the Nuclear Development in north korea, and calling on it to immediately cease any related activities, and, of course, this comes just a few weeks after a very tense time here on the peninsula where we saw that exchange of fire across the border, and it comes before a major anniversary in north korea where its planning to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Workers Party on october 10th. There had already been intense speculation that kim jung unmay be planning something. We had known north korea was planning to restart operations at yongbyon, and this seems to confirm that. Of course, there are always questions about what we can believe thats coming out of north korea. Theres no way to verify that. But when north korea makes this kind of threat, even though it may not have all the capacity it says it does, it is a threat that is taken seriously here in the region, and by the United States. We know youll continue to watch those developments closely. Kathy novak live for us from seoul, north korea. The president of chinas largest brokerage is now a target in a probe of Insider Trading. They say hes being investigated for Insider Trading and leaking insider information. Andrew, this makes beijing appear serious about stamping out corruption and any possible market manipulation, but what are they basing this case on besides the market fluctuations that we all witnessed in the past few weeks . This is a continuation of a very serious move by beijing to crack down on people they think have been manipulating the market. As you say, he has now been detained. He is a very senior player in the industry in china. Police have been investigating him clearly, all the Market Participants, the key Market Participants since the market started to crash back in june, and they would have been acting on the information after going through the books after talking to other people, sort of standard practices for looking for foul play. It is a big deal, this one, in particular, though, errol, because he is the head of securities. If you imagine, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs rolled into one, thats what it is. Its the biggest broking house in china. Its got a lot of individual accounts for people who want to play the stock market, but its not just that. This is part of the citic group. Its the First Investment arm set up by china when it was declared china open for business. It gives you an idea of how big it is. So go after someone like him says no one is safe. The authorities are going to crack down and continue to crack down hard on anything they describe as market manipulation, anything where people have been profiting from this plunging stock market and in, effect, sort of facilitating the falling market. It is a surprising market, but thats probably what beijing wants, to send a message with this investigation. Hp says it will cut another 25 to 30,000 jobs. This is part of the computer firms breakup into two separate public can i traded companies. It will give the company a more competitive cost structure. The ceo has eliminated about 55,000 jobs.

It blew up, the whole world. Its like a different place. Its possible that because of this deal made by secretary kerry who has absolutely no clue how to negotiate, it may be that hes going to super creed. Trump isnt alone. As Fred Pleitgen reports, people are listening. Reporter republican president ial candidates have been talking tough on iran, some even threatening to cancel the Nuclear Agreement if they win. Words that have some iranians worried, says an analyst. If you live in iran, you should be afraid, whats going to happen . Is there a plan to attack iran . Are they planning to attack iran . What will happen to us . As youd expect, the majority dont even know the names of the candidates. The vast majority are following the campaign, but there are some who are frustrated with the way Many Republican candidates have been criticizing their country. But those we spoke to also believe the rhetoric coming from the candidates is just that, campaign talk. When they speak about the nuclear deal, they dont think about the benefit for the American People, this man says. They just think about their own benefit, so i think the republicans have shown that for their benefit, they will do anything. As far as i know, this is the party of george bush and Ronald Reagan, this man adds. These guys cant do anything. Contempt from irans hard liners. This local newspaper is the voice of the countrys conservatives. The boss is an official representative of irans supreme leader. He picked on the last republican president s brother. Jeb bush talk is bigger than his mouth, he said. He should consider if he really wants to continue the failed policies of his brother. We dont care what the republicans say. Its a big step from talking to taking action. While many iran rans dismiss the tough talk, as the election grows closer, many will be eager to see what a new president will mean for u. S. Iranian relations. Remember, our live coverage of the republican president ial debate begins at 6 00 p. M. Eastern, 11 wednesday night in london. Thats midnight in berlin. If youre too busy and cant see it live, watch the replay here on cnn international. That will be at 8 00 p. M. London time on sunday.

Devastated, neighborhoods in california reduced to ashes by wildfir wildfires. And donald trump versus the rest of the field. Welcome to those of you all around the world. Im errol burnett, and this is cnn news room. We begin this hour with the migrant crisis gripping europe. Hundreds of migrants are facing another day trapped on the serbian side of the border with hungary. It is sealed a main crossing point for those heading for wen europe. Hungary has imposed tough new laws meant to keep people from crossing illegally. Some from trickled in legally. They accehave arrested nearly 3 migrants at the border. The interior minister wants hungary to let the migrants through. Well try as much as we can to advocate their right for free passage and let them reunite for their families. Some of them already went through. For the latest on this q we turn to ben weedman live on the hungarian border. And they say they have no choice but to enforce the rule of law. How is that playing out where you are . Reporter were here on the serbian side of the border. What were seeing is people have become, essentially, all night long, it appears. When we left this location yesterday, there were, perhaps, 600 or 700 peemt. Now theres well over 1,000, and theyre hoping for the opportunity not to stop in hungary, but to pass through no to the go to points north, but at the moment, it appears theres no movement over the border. Open the door, they chant on the serbian hungarian border. But their words fall on deaf ears. The door stays shut. It slammed shut late monday when hungry imposed harsh penalties for anyone trying to get over. Baffled by the sudden change, this syrian from aleppo had a message for the Prime Minister of hungary. We want to pass to germany, austria, no one wants to stay in your country. Vows this iraqi, well wait here for six years if we have to. We have nothing left to lose. But hungary says it must control its borders. Hundreds are now camped out in fields by the fence, hoping hungary will soften its stance. More are on the way. This 50yearold man have traveled for two months from afghanistan. Sleeping in the rough has become routine. Bathroom . Toil snet. No toilet. Nothing. Just out here. Yes. Reporter Border Police have temporarily stopped their progress but despite their exhaustion, their determination to move ahead is undiminished. Aid officials seem flabbergasted by the scale of this crisis. I never thought i would see Something Like that in europe. If europe has common european asylum system, and you look at this mess here, then where is it . Reporter not here. The children may be too young to understand while the parents, their fate yet again in the hands of the powerful, can only hope for a solution. And, of course, now that it appears that theres no Forward Movement on the hungarian border, apparently many of the refugees are looking at other options, going through, for instance, slovenia, because, their goal is these countries in the north, sweden, germany, and us a stree ya. I was going to ask you about that. Because the one man you spoke with in your piece said hes not trying to settle in hungary anyway. Is it much more difficult to go around hungry to make it to their destination compared to the option of just waiting . Reporter thats sort of what many people here are debating. Everybody asks when do you think theyre going to open the border . Will they reopen the border . When you tell them it may be a few days, they start to consider the other options. Obviously going through hungary which gets you to the austrian border is a much faster way, but in the end, they want to move forward, so if it involves a detour through croatia, theyre willing to do that as long as it guarantees, or theres a better probability that theyll actually reach their final destinations. Errol. All right. Ben weedman on the serbian side of the border the country shares with hungary. Thank you. The International Organization for migration says nearly half a million migrants have thread no europe so far this year. Close to 3,000 havent survived the journey. The latest killing 22 migrants. To help tackle the crisis, Angela Merkel says her country will set up several refugee distribution centers. Translator we want to offer protection to those people who need our protection, that we will do all we can can in our power to achieve this. At the same time, it was clear that those who do not have a r perspective of actually being grounded, asylum cannot stay in our country. At least 38 people are dead including 14 children after rebels fired rockets in a residential neighborhood in syria. This happened in the Northern City of aleppo on tuesday. The syrian observatory for human rights says 150 before injured and the death toll is likely to rise. The group says tuesdays attack resulted in one of the heaviest death tolls from rebel bombardment from the regime held part of the city. Tonight is debate night for the u. S. Republican president ial candidates, and youll only see it here on cnn. Most of the candidates spent the day preparing on tuesday, but not donald trump. He spoke to supporters aboard the battle ship uss iowa tuesday about his Foreign Policy vision. He didnt get into much detail but promised to take better care of veterans and build a stronger military. Were going to make our military so big and so strong and so great. [ applause ] and it will be so powerful, i dont think that were ever going to have to use it. Nobody is going to mess with us. But the competition is heating up. A new poll shows ben carson closing in on donald trump. The front runner is getting ready for a new round of attacks in wednesdays debate. John berman has more. The polls come out, and were really killing it. We are killing it. Reporter a new poll from cbs news shows ben carson closer than ever with jeb bush drifting further back. Carson was polling at 6 one month ago while bush has dropped seven points since august. So far nothing and no one has managed to push trump from his perch. But when the going gets tough, the tough go negative. For the first time an outside group, the conservative club for growth opened its wallet, announced theyll spend more than 1 million in two ads in iowa bashing him for his liberal economic ideas. He has a record, and its very liberal. Hes really just playing us for chumps. Reporter not to be outantitrumped, bobby jindal released a new video too, attacking how trump shaping his Foreign Policy views. In all fairness, you know, what do i know . Trump knows the attacks are coming but doesnt sound too concerned. So the debate. I hear theyre all going after me. Whatever. Whatever. Reporter and despite recent dust ups with Carly Fiorina and carson, trump says hes willing to play mr. Nice guyish. I like carly, and i like ben. I mean, many of these people are terrific people, but nobody is going to be able to do the job that im going to do. Nobody. Reporter jeb bush supporters beg to differ. A super pac backing bush is finally unleashing its vast war ches chest, spending 24 million on adds in South Carolina, iowa, and New Hampshire to highlight his achievements at governor of florida. Hoping something, if not spending, will make people listen. John berman, cnn, california. One area of Foreign Policy trump did talk about was the nuclear deal with iran. It is one of the dumbest deals and one of the weakest contracts ive ever seen of any kind. Theyre taking 150 billion. Theyre getting a deal thats going to go right into Nuclear Weapons. The agreement is a major target for republicans, and thats a cause for concern for some in iran. As you see on your screens, Fred Pleitgen joins us from tehran. Youve spent a bit of time, i cant imagine folks in that country are watching the preelection action closely, but for those who are, what are they seeing . Reporter well, i mean, first of all, most of the people here in iran dont even know the names of the candidates for the republican nomination. I was on the streets yesterday and i asked someone if he knew donald trump, and he said i used to watch the apprentice, but people do realize theres some very strong rhetoric coming from most of the candidates in the republican camp, and that has them worried, especially when they think about the future of the Nuclear Agreement and if the United States would stick to the agreement if one of the republicans becomes candidates. Reporter from donald trump to jeb bush, to Carly Fiorina, republican president ial candidates have been talking tough on iran, some even threatening to cancel the Nuclear Agreement if they win. Words that have some iranians worried, says an analyst. If you live in iran, you should be afraid, whats going to happen . Is there a plan to attack iran . Are they planning to attack iran . What will happen to us . Reporter on tehrans streets, as youd expect, the majority dont even know the names of the gop candidates. The vast majority of iran rans are following the u. S. Election campaigns, especially in these early stages, but there are some who are frustrated with the way Many Republican candidates have criticizing their countries. But those we spoke to also believe the rhetoric is just that, campaign talk. When they speak about the nuclear deal, they dont think about the benefit for the American People, this man says, they just think about their own benefit. I think the republicans have shown for their benefit, they will do anything. As far as i know, this is the party of george bush and Ronald Reagan. They were much stronger than these people, and they couldnt touch us. So these people cant do anything. A newspaper that is the voice of the countrys seconservatives. This man picked on the last republican president s brother. Jeb bush should consider if he wants to consider the failed policies of his brother. We dont care with the republicans say. Its a big step from talking to taking action. While many dismiss the tough talk from the republicans, as the election draws closer, many more will be paying attention, eager to see what a new president will mean for u. S. Iranian relations and the Nuclear Agreement. And, of course, errol, most people understand at this early stage on the campaign trail, a lot of this is political banter, but it has iranian senior officials concerned. One on a trip to china, fielding a question said look, we are a little bit concerned about the talk going on in america, and we have to insist that any sort of agreement thats reached by this administration in the u. S. Also counts Going Forward. He wanted to show that there is some concern here in iran whether or not america is actually going to stick to that deal when it gets a new president in 2017. And passage of the Iran Nuclear Deal feels like a sure thing in the United States. Does it enjoy wide support there . Very good question, errol, and it is something that is a very heated topic here. That tnewspaper editor is critical of the iran deal, and hes also close to the supreme leader. The hard liners here, many of them are against the deal. They feel the deal weakens iran. They dont feel iran has received enough in ruseturn, bu the vast majority favors the deal. They hope the sanctions are going to go away as fast as possible, but it is a divisive topic here as well. All right, fred liken lipleie for us. Be sure to tune to cnn on wednesday as the republican president ial debate takes center stage. Watch these back to back debates live beginning at 6 00 p. M. Eastern. Thats 11 00 p. M. In london. 6 00 a. M. Thursday in hong kong. Only here on cnn.

We want to show you what has really been a shocking wall street journal headline. It says sanders plan would cost 18 trillion over the decade, mostly in the form of a Single Payer Health care plan which the candidate has not released details of. Sanders says he will issue a response to that report. He calls it, coat, significantly exaggerated, and said the journal didnt mention his plan eliminates costs.

Most of the people gathered at this roadblock and have been evacuated for at least the last five days. Among them, ron and sandy miller who live just outside mountain ranch. Wed like to know if our home is still standing. Its terrible. The anxiety. We sleep but we dont rest. You get up in the morning and you feel like youve been p all night. Reporter the millers have been staying at a hotel thats giving them a reduced rate and free breakfast, but nearby, Jack Hamilton has been sleeping in his truck with his dogs.

Snow showers coming down in the high see eras, but snow has been the one thing lacking across california in recent years. In fact, historic lows of 5 of normal in 2015, and i want to show you something. We know the importance of snow when it comes to california in general. The snow melt about 20 of the drinking water, but a fascinating study on tree rings. The tree rings really do a fantastic job going back many decades when you take a look at the numbers. What theyve done is analyzed about 1500 trees. Try seasons is indicated when the rings are compacted and close. The rainy seasons, with plenty of moisture, the rings are apart. This is one of the driest stretches of weather in the melt and the snow and the rainfall in a 500 year period according to a study published in the past couple of days. A fascinating study out of this region of the United States when it comes to this study being a dry one going back 500 years. Indonesia, an ongoing event with hundreds of wildfires across the western portion of sumatra. Farmers start fires.

Donald trump leads with 27 . Carson at 23 . Hes up 6 from last month. The republican president ial hopefuls will meet in a debate youll see on cnn. Asaad blames the migrant crisis on europe and the u. S. For what he says is their support of terrorism. As long as they follow this propaganda, theyll have more refugees. Its not about europe didnt accept them as refugees. Its about not stop if you are worried about them, some supporting terrorists. Thats what we think regarding the crisis. Thats at the core. U. S. Secretary of state, john kerry is warning russia not to support president al asaad, saying it could make it worst. But he is openly pledging support. We are live with more on this developing story, and it appears russia and syria are aiming to blame everyone else for the mass migration of refugees out of syria. Reporter i think the point that Bashar Al Assad was that the cause of the civil war has to be addressed by the International Community. And thats something that the kremlin prescribes to in terms of point of views. There was another televisiconve the third one in ten days, in which russia made the point that there has to be created a united front to fight terrorism. The u. S. Response to that was that, look, weve got a coalition to fight isis. It has more than 60 countries in it, but the syrian president would never be a credible member of that coalition. And that exposes the essential difference between the United States and russia when it comes to syria. The United States is completely ruled out president asaad being part of any int rim future, but russia sees them as a key figure in battling isis and in bringing an end to the syrian conflict. Thats the difference thats been exposed. The white house is currently mulling a one on one between president obama and president putin. They famously do not get along in a personal basis. This could happen on the sidelines but might this development and whats happening right now with pointing blame for the refugee crisis be some kind of development that forces the two men to share the same room and speak about what to do next . Reporter well, i think if theres going to be a meeting between putin and obama, it will be about russias support for syria. I mean, certainly there have been lots of reports, and weve seen them and been reporting them on cnn about stepping up military involvement in syria, and there have been satellite images made available of an air base at la tack ya. U. S. Officials say a new air Traffic Control tower from russia has been erected and housing facilities for up to 200 personnel has been spotted on the ground as well. There are indications that russia is bolstering its military footprint in syria, possibly with preparations carrying out eriair strikes or greater military involvement in syria. They say they dont know what the objective is on the part of the kremlin. But the concerns that russia is getting more and more involved in sticking up and backing up militarily its ally in syria is something that may be the main point of contact between the United States and moscow. Matthew chance live with us. Matthew, thanks. We want to talk a bit more in depth about the migrant crisis that is gripping europe. A spokesman for the International Organization for migration joins us live from geneva,switzerland. Thanks gro thanks your time. We have a lack of uniformity in the response. A number of Countries Increasing border checks. Were looking at footage of the situation that creates, and you have migrants, some being found dead in food transport vehicles, washing up on the shores. What do you make of the size and the scope of this issue and how its being handled. It is a crisis, and its a global crisis, because the entire world is focussed on the issue of how europe cant seem to manage the issue of refugees and migrants coming in great numbers. Lets remember, also, that across the world, there are huge ne numbers of people being displaced. In sudan, and nigeria, right around the globe, you have similar problems. It isnt just europe, but the focus is on europe because that tends to be where the media is, and it is serious. And also many of these migrants are refugees are heading to europe because in their minds its supposed to be different. Although, because of some of the way the governments have responded, theyre finding a cold shoulder. I interviewed the spokesman for the hungarian government, one of my questions was why they felt it necessary to criminalize migrants who cross the border fence illegally. Listen to his response. Its very difficult to address this issue from a humanitarian point of view. It is our conviction that the best way to address even the humanitarian aspect is reinstalling the rule of law at the borders of the european union, and on regular flow of migrants to any area around the world is undesired. So its hard to argue against a rule of law, but critics say hungarys response is heavy handed, simply locking up migrants to break the law. What are your thoughts . Hungary is not alone in its failure to give due welcome to those who are deserving of refugee in asylum states. Its the latest example of a rather ruthless approach, and its not welcome. But lets remember that, but refugees come to europe [ inaudible ] were having some audio issues with his web cam. Speaking that hungary isnt the only nation to exhibit what he described as a heavyhanded response without a uniform plan by the eu, each nation will have to decide what to do. We appreciate his insight as we cross back to live pictures from the serbian hungary border where those migrants wait and decide is it better to wait or take the more difficult route to get to parts of western europe.
