The dance floor here collapsed during a party. This is clemson, south carolina. You can see the people there trying to crawl out of this pit. Lets go to Polo Sandoval now who has learned more about this. Reporter you see the pictures its incredible when you find out nobody was killed or seriously injured according to the information released overnight. Here is a background on this pretty dramatic video. Dozens of people had gathered at the wood lands apartment complex at the clubhouse there for a private party when just after midnight, the floor literally gave out from under them. Dozens of people sent to the basement below. You can see as you mexicntion te people crawling out of that area. No serious injuries and everybody got out and they are investigating and trying to figure out what happened. This is close to the Clemson University campus. It is an apartment complex off the campus. It is a very popular for students here. We should also note that it has been a very busy time on that campus, particularly because of home comes so a lot of celebrations and a lot of parties and gatherings. The main headline here no serious injuries after this incident here. The floor at an apartment clubhouse giving out from underneath dozens of partygoers over night. Thank you for that. Last hour we spoke with jeremy tester. He was at that party and watched the floor collapse. This is what he had to say. What i saw i was literally two feet from what happened and i saw 60 people fall straight through the floor. Just crazy how it happened. Jeremy, was there any sort of indication that this was going to happen . Did you feel the floor was vulnerable or any sign that this was coming up . Like, when this all came on, like, everybody was, like, jumping around. You could hear the floor about to go through and, like, like, nobody thought it was going to happen. They just kept going. So we see the people fall here. Injuries . Was everybody conscious . How did they get out . I mean, it took minutes for firefighters to get there, police to get there. Everybody got there that quick. I can see people, we were held there a long time. I saw People Holding their arms, like, i saw people with, like, body, legs, and stuff like that. What was on the level below that everyone fell onto . There were, i think a couple of pool tables and just about like, at least a 15foot drop. Jeremy, i know that you shot this video. Incredible. One of the things that sticks out is the sounds you hear and screams that stick with you. Let me play this for our viewers and sort of walk through this one more time. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. [ screaming ] that is chilling. Not just to see but to hear. You hear the fear in the voice. The shock of people when this happens. What went through your mind in the seconds, in the minutes after the fact . At what point did this hit home of what happened and the potential for pretty serious injuries here . At first i thought a gun was going off. I have no clowe whue. Then i saw people dropping really quick. I looked over and two feet in front of me was a big box hole. I was like, i didnt know, like, how do i take that . Everybody just sort of running outside. I kind of followed. Jeremy tester was an eyewitness at that party in clemson. Again, 30 injuries but no loss of life and no serious or lifethreatening injuries there. Russias Deputy Foreign minister says by moving to end a longstanding nuclear agreement, the u. S. Is bringing the world back to the cold war. President trump announcing yesterday that the u. S. Will terminate the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty. The Deputy Foreign minister, as you might imagine, demanding some explanation here and he is already talking about the possibility of retaliatory efforts, some measures there. Joining us to explain why President Trump wants out of this treatmenty is cnn Senior Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen from moscow. Fred . Reporter hi, layla. The russians sunday morning are coming out with a lot of statements and a lot of anger and frustration here on the part of the russians. They are talking already about catastrophic consequences with all of this saying the u. S. Is trying to blackmail russia. The u. S. Says this treaty is no longer in its interest. Here is what we found out. The u. S. Has long been accusing russia of violating the inm treaty by developing and deploying Nuclear Middle range missiles and now President Trump says america is axing the agreement. We are the ones that stayed in the agreement and we honored the agreement but russia a not honored the agreement so we are pulling out. Reporter john bolton is expected to formally tell the russians that america is leaving the ericks nf treaty. It stands for intermediate Nuclear Forces. The treaty was signed in 1987 between the u. S. And the soviet union and led to 2700 medium range nuclear missiles. They say it worked. It was a measure to provide strategic continuity and banning ranges and it was meant to take the temperature down and it resulted in the destruction of literally thousands of missiles and it has been in effect ever since. Reporter russia denies violating the treaty and accuses the u. S. By reaching it by developing military systems and Vladimir Putin said to be making troubling remarks about trouble warfar. Translator in this situation we kind of expect someone will use Nuclear Weapons against us. We do not do anything ourselves. Well, yes but then the aggressor should know that vengeance is inevitable and he will be destroyed and we are the victims of aggression and as martyrs we will go to heaven and they will simply die. Reporter the u. S. Agrees the treaty puts them at a disadvantage versus china is no not a part of the agreement and another reason the u. S. Says they want to pull out of the deal. So you can see the tensions between the u. S. And russia just continuing to heat up as they have been really over the past couple of years. As we said, National Security adviser john bolton on his way to russia right now as we speak and safe to say he is probably not going to get a very warm welcome. As you said, the russians are seriously looking for some answers. Frederik pleitgen, thanks so much. To the migrant crisis in Central America. Potential deadlily caravan is the situation on saturday. Got a little more dramatic along the honduras guatemala border. Cnn reports that Authorities Say two men, look at this. Are from el salvador and hijacked a couple of big rigs and tried to leave the country by speeding through a police fence. Others got on by latching on to the truck and others on the street had to jump out of the way and some fell to the pavement and both men have been caught and charged with attempted homicide. That is on the guatemala honduras border. In the meantime, another crisis on the guatemala mexico border. Officials in honduras saying migrants have already returned home. The honduran foreign minister said 2,000 people in the Migrant Caravan have been deported and 400 more are on the way back. Honduras president promised those who returned will be offered jobs and other types of support when they get home. Mexican authorities have not said whether anyone from the caravan will be allowed to travel to the u. S. Border. If they do, President Trump said he will cut aid to some countries in Central America and deploy the u. S. Military. I think some bad people started that caravan. Maybe importantly or almost as importantly. You have some very, very bad people in the caravan you have tough elements in the caravan. I will seal off the border before they come into this country and bring in our military, not our reserves but bring out our military. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo called the caravan an organized effort to violate the sovereignty of mexico and in an interview with voice of america, he also accused honduran political opponents of writing that caravan. Senate majority leader Mitchell Mcconnell was out to dinner and some had some things to say to him. Did the senator respond . We will have more after the break. Plus, President Trump is shifting his tone, criticizing saudi arabias explanation for the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. What happens next . Will there be severe punishment as the president said . We will discuss. Later this hour, a female lion kills the father of her cubs and leaves zoo workers a bit confused.

He and his wife elaine chao were in a restaurant in louisville when this happened. Check. He threw their leftovers at them . I didnt know that.

According to our affiliate, wkly, one of the men threw the senators leftovers out the door. Mcconnells Office Released this statement overnight saying. The leader often says the leader will not be intimidated by the in ticks by protesters. Ahead of the midterm elections, President Trump is using incidents like this, the one you saw there, to open a new line of attack against democrats. Watch. The choice for every american could not be more clear than it is right now. Democrats produce mobs. Republicans produce jobs. We will see if that National Theme makes it to the state level. Youre looking right now live at the stage where, tonight, in tampa, candidates for governor will face off in a debate. Moderated by cnns jake tapper. Representative ron desantos is taking on tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillian who could become floridas first black governor. This race is tight. Polls show its likely within the margin of error and there are Many Political experts that view this as perhaps the most important contest on the 2018 map and because you got two rising political stars who won their respective primaries by appealing to their bases both the left and the right. But in florida, which is perhaps the biggest swing state in america, it could be those voters in the middle that decide who the states next governor is. Aaron runs a barbecue food truck in one of the most important states on the midterm map and he thinks floridians are sick and tired of both republicans and democrats. I think people are pretty much hammered with politics. Reporter political fatigue could be a big problem and especially for the two candidates for governor who won their primaries by appealing to the bases of their respective parties. I believe we are going to win this, not by capitulating on what we believe. Reporter on the left is democrat andrew gillum. He won with the support of Bernie Sanders and a medicaid for all plan. Gillum believes that will attract voters of all stripes. I think we actually talked about the issues through the primary and will in the general whether youre an independent or a responsible thinking republican or a democrat thaw care about. Gillum is drawing big crowds of enthusiastic democrats such as tony and bell mcnair. Impressed with his brightful politics and the fact he is pledged to take on President Trump. Just being opposed to trump isnt enough for this lady. Youre not a fan of President Trump . You think the focus on him is too much . I think a lot of focus on him, probably more than any president , ever. And i would like to see the issues addressed more. Reporter separating this race from the president wont be easy. Especially for the republican ron desantos. Then mr. Trump said, youre fired. I love that part. Reporter desantos ran armtoarm with President Trump during the the primary. Voting to repeal the Affordable Care act while in the house. We need a governor who is going to work constructively with the Trump Administration to advance floridas priorities. Reporter he, too, has gopbased voters fired up and in his republican supporters believe that desantos can attract middle of the road voters by just being himself. What people really need to listen and follow him for that because he wants the best for the people. He wants the best for florida. Reporter at a time of fierce polarization the middle lane in Florida Politics may be up for grabs and for ward who talks to voters every day, the candidate that is able to attract the middle and hold their bases effectively just might be the winner on election day. How do you merge those together to come out what is it this one state wants . That is tough. Youre going to get a ton of different backgrounds trying to merge into one single reporter sometimes they vote republicans and sometimes they vote democrats because its shifting, right . Absolutely. Reporter both gillum and desantos have no trouble attacking each other at rallies across the state but tonight is the first time they face off head ttohead and gillum yesterday saying he hopes to keep the conversation at a respectable level but warned that if desantos goes on the attack, he will be ready to return fire. He said if i have to go there, i willing there. Ryan nobles for us in tampa, thank you. This is a race for floridas governor that no one predicted. Republican done resantos and democrat ron desantos and democrat andrew gillum, their debate is coming up tonight on cnn at 8 00 p. M. One said she shouldnt take georgia voters to the polls. Plus a lion attacks and kills the father of her cubs at the analysis zoo. Zoo workers say they didnt see this company. We will ask a wildlife expert to weigh in.

We are 16 days away from the 2018 elections. A group of 40 Senior Citizens in georgia were told they could not participate in a get out the vote bus tour. The bad news is they are going to make us get off the bus right now and that is okay because im still going to make it. They are so mad and low down that we get jealous be thut tha cant stop the rain. You cant stop it. An administrator in Jefferson County told the Atlanta Journalconstitution none of the seniors were denied their right on vote. He instead expressed concern about the seniors getting on a bus provided by a, quote, unknown thirdparty. So here is a look at the work being done by black voter matter. All right, yall, lets rock it. Every day, everywhere. Make sure november 6th is the next election cycle. You should get a card in the mail the next couple of weeks. November 6th is important to us and more importantly its beyond election day because all of those issues will still be there on november 7th. Are you registered to vote . Sure. All right. Shaming to vote never works. You have to show what the benefits are and they have to see how its connected to improving their daily lives. We the blackest bus in america just want yall to know. We are going to help us out on a big bus. This is the peoples bus. This is a community bus. We are happy to be here they represent so much more than just a bus, right . Its all about the notion of the combination of love and power and we can drive throughout these states which, for the most part, is basically the old confederacy in this bus and let folks know they matter. The message of this bus is actually universal. Its been centered in a black experience but anybody who can really identify with what it means where folks are being exclusive and not being inclusive of people we all know what that feels like and it doesnt feel good. What you want baby i got it people want to be listened to and heard. I think that is what matters. I dont think race has to happen in an africanamerican community. We need white people of goodwill to talk about racism within their own communities and to think about how do we dismantle this and how can we have honest conversations we are going back to are we going to build a beloved community and, if so, what does it take to do that . Sign your name and the date. When you go vote, sign your name like that. If it werent for yall i probably never did this. We need more things like this in the community. All of us have what is in it for me . Unless you make that connection you lose people. I know you vote but we need to get more people. We havent been to any communities that dont want Colony Health care and we want the same thing. I am a native of selma. A small group of people with not a lot of money and not a lot of resources but had the faith and belief that they could actually change and get voting rights. They transformed the nation. I firmly believe that is happening now, that those of us with some courage that really have love in our spirit that we love human beings, right . And that we really want to see a better world that those folks are rising up. We have been going around. Yeah, we got of ones today. All right . Yeah, already. First time, too. Excited this bus is a manifestation of a quote from dr. King. He said power without love is reckless and abusive. Love without power is send mental and that is what this bus is about and what our organization and this tour is about. I believe firmly in my heart that those that stand on the right side of history ultimately we always win. It may take a while but it will never change unless some of those believe. All right, lets go. Joining me now the cofounder of the black Voters Matter Fund latasha. Good morning. Lets start with the episode the seniors having to get off the bus. You pull up the bus to the countyrun Senior Leisure Center there southeast of atlantas you load the but the with the 40 Senior Citizens and what happens . We are excited and a rally inside and people are singing and channing. Youre on your way pot polto polls . Yes. The bus is stopped and the director of the center came down and flagged the bus down. Our local organizer went off the bus to figure out why we were stopped. We were told that at the time what we were told is that someone had passed by and saw the seniors getting on the bus and called the county Commissioners Office and the county administrator had called the director and said those folks need to get off the bus now. Why do you think they did that . Did they explain why . There were several reasons. Its ever changing. The first they didnt know us. And that we had not been vetted. You know . Interestingly enough, we had spent two hours with the seniors prior to that. So the seniors made a decision that they wanted to get on the bus and they, themselves, had vetted us. The second thing was that one of the organizers, our local organizer, she was affiliated with the Democratic Party and so the county administrator said he wasnt comfortable because she was affiliated as a chair of the Democratic Party. Let me read what he said according to the Atlanta Journalconstitution. Why do you think it happened . You know, i think is there a couple of things. I think a paternalist and that statement is extremely paternalistic and based on where people are abusing the power. This was not a senior facility that people were residents. This is a Community Center that people go for activity. These are seniors who are able body and people who come on their own accord and their own choice. They had made a choice to go on the bus and actually they had asked us to ride with us. And so they made a choice to go on the bus. Here it is one person that believes that he can interfere in the process and make a decision for People Better than they could make for themselves. I think it is based on a particular kind of context when we talk about voter suppression, a spectrum of that, right . Any time youre doing anything to interfere with someones choice to be able to go freely vote on their own wheel, that, in itself, is a form of voter suppression. The naacp that Legal Defense fund sent a letter to the county calling for an investigation. Have you been contacted to participate in any countyrun investigation of this . Well, we are partners. Our attorneys are working with to really get to the bottom of this because i think that what you see in rural communities, those of us that live in the south you know in rural communities, oftentimes an abuse of power and people in a position that make assumption and implement based on their assumption on abuse of power and what we saw in Jefferson County. He did not have the right to make that call or that decision. That was not his choice. Do you know if a countywide investigation . We have called for it and our attorneys are in communication with the state and county level for there to be an investigation. Did the seniors eventually get to the polls . They did. Okay. The good news is that these seniors were extremely determined and, by the way, the state has we did get a letter i should say we did get a letter from the secretary of States Office and they did say its under investigation. All right. But to get back to the seniors. The seniors, even at the moment, said they were more than determined than ever. We went back two days later and met with the seniors and majority have already voted and some got off the bus and drove themselves we saw video of dancing outside the bus after they were asked to get off.

New developments in the killing of a jamal khashoggkhas. Saudi arabia claims that khashoggi was choked to death after a fist fight got out of hand inside the turkey consulate. Sarah bewestwood is in washingt. President trump appears to be shifting his tone when it comes to the saudis later claim that s khashoggi was killed in a fist fight gone wrong. In an interview with the Washington Post the president said there has been deception and lies from the saudi side acknowledging that the saudis have changed their story several times by first claiming that khashoggi left their consulate in turkey unharmed, denied having any knowledge why he was missing for several weeks and, finally, admitting to his death but claiming it was inadvertent. Trump threatened to impose severe punishments against saudi arabia. It turns out khashoggi was murdered but he didnt lay out those plans. Here is what he had to say last night. It may. May work with the senate, with the house. We will be working with congress because, you know, they are very involved and i wanted to keep them involved smacas much as i with justin kavanagh. I wanted to keep them involved. Reporter with that interview with the Washington Post the president stopped short of criticizing the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman who is widely suspected to be in khashoggis killing. Bin salman has a close relationship with jared kushner. Here is what the president had to say when he was asked about bin salman had knowledge of khashoggis killing. Its possible. You dont know that but its possible. Reporter the president is coming under increasing pressure to take action against the kingdom as democrats and republicans alike reject the saudis response but so far all the president has done in terms of laying out response is insist that proposed arm sales to saudi arabia not be affected by this. Sarah westwood, thank you. This morning, the fiancee of Jamal Khashoggi posted a heartfelt message to him on twitter saying the following.

Zuri, the female, and the male had been together eight years and shared these three cubs. Zoo officials said they heard an unusual amount of noise coming from the enclosure before the zoo opened and thats when they found zuri with her teeth around niaks neck. The workers tried to separate the two, but it was too late. Joining us now to try to get some kind of understanding is wildlife expert. Make some sense of this. Is this something thats typical . Not at all. Its incredibly unusual. We dont see this, a in captivity and incredibly rarely in the wild. In the uk at the safari park nine lionesses made the decision to kill one of the two male lions in their enclosure. Its horrific footage to watch. Its the first time weve seen this. And it was almost like the feeling i got was that he was accepting his fate because the girls had made their decision, these nine lionesses. And in the pride the females are dominant. Often times they put these males in their place. But to actually go ahead and kill him and by suffocating is a very specific intent on her part. So, in terms of niak and zuri, well have to surmise what happened. We dont have all the facts at our fingertips but i would say the top three reasons would fall to food, sex or the cubs, the kids. One of those three things came into play. The first being food, which is an obvious one. We dont know, was he stealing her food . Had this happened frequently . Was she upset . Had it been building up and she just had enough or is it a case that they, as a pride, were not being fed enough . That can also come into play. And the thought could have crossed her mind if we do away with him, we, me and my cubs, would have more food for us. That could come into play. We do need to hear from the zoo keepers as to what their routines were and what they were seeing on the ground. The second thing being sex, that he could have tried to cover her and she perhaps has a cyst or the female parts are not 100 . Male lions are relentless and it could have been inkrcredibly painful and that could have been her decision to say ive had enough of this. But, of course, if we have a look at the fact that theyve been in captivity for an eightyear period, he might have tried to cover one of the cubs and perhaps the lioness did not like that one little bit. So out in the wild, what would happen with the pride we typically a typically have a dominant male and the rest of the lionesses are all related. We have nomadic lions that will come across a pride and challenge that dominant male. If they win to have the glory of this pride, they will kill that dominant male and then they will kill all of the cubs. Wow what do you expect will happen with zuri . Well, i dont think they would do anything to her i would hope not. Really theres a heartfelt loss with the male. Im sure the people who look after them are not feeling very great this morning with whats gone on. But i dont feel that there needs to be an action taken against her. We wont understand the cat psychology. We would love to interview them and get some kind of vocal response. Especially without video its really hard to know. Thank you, michelle.
