Announcer this is cnn breaking news. Breaking news, Hurricane Irma is now a dangerous category 4 and warnings are up for a string of caribbean islands while it is still too soon to gauge the storms potential impact on the u. S. , floridas governor has just declared a state of emergency. North koreas largest ever nuclear test is sparking global outrage and a new war of words. South koreas boosting its Missile Defenses and is answering with a Live Fire Exercise simulating an attack on a nuclear site saying the display was meant to show a willingness to wipe out the north korean regime. At a emergency u. N. Security council u. S. Ambassador nikki haley said kim jongun is begging for war saying enough is enough. She called for the strongest sanctions possible against pyongyang. That follows blunt talk from the white house where President Trump said, well see, when asked if hes planning to strike at north korea. Defense secretary james mattis warned of a massive military response to any threat against the u. S. And its territories, including guam. But north korea issued new threats today saying if provoked, it would eradicate the u. S. With no trace left on earth. We are covering all of that and more with guests including senator ben cardin, Ranking Member of the Foreign Relations committee, correspondents and specialists are also standing by. Lets go straight to our breaking news with residents of Southeast Texas still reeling from harvey, another powerful storm may pose a serious threat to the United States. You may not have heard about it yet. It is Hurricane Irma. And it is now a dangerous category 4. Floridas governor has already declared a state of emergency. Lets turn to meteorologist tom seder at the cnn weather center. Tom, this is not looking good. No, jim, we are looking at irma. The same strength that harvey was when it made land fall into rockport. We know what happened to rockport. Those strong winds alone. This system is several days away. In fact, it will not reach north coast of cuba until friday, but that is a critical day because we believe it will take a turn to the north. That means toward either the carolina coast or the florida coast. Warnings in effect for the Northern Islands in the lesser an tilles, anguila, antigua. Heres the track from the National Hurricane center. By looking at this, you would think that Forward Momentum would carry it into the gulf of mexico. We cannot actually just deny that. Okay. Its possible, but there actually are better possibilities that we think the computer models will carry this northward. Lets take a look. When we put all of the computer models together, again you are our spaghetti plots, you want to see them clustered together. That kbichlz you confidence. We believe once it makes its way toward or past the Northern Islands of the lesser antilles, hopefully it will stay over water. Any deviation north will be turks and caicos. Deviation south would be bad for Dominican Republic toward cuba. Sometime friday we should see the system get picked up by ate trough dropping into the eastern u. S. But the time Sergio Garcia everything. If we can get it turned to the north, soon or later we could get saved by this. But that window is shutting. Were looking at a major impact here. Next weekend on saturday, sunday and most likely a land fall possibly could be monday, but a turn to the north would make a land fall somewhere in florida or even toward the pan handle. Heres the situation, though. Until that turn occurs on friday, we will not be able to give anyone, unfortunately, a time of land fall or a location. But more and more it looks like we will have a major hurricane thats three, four or category 5 come late sunday and into monday. There have only been three category 5s to ever make land fall in the u. S. The last one was 25 years ago, hurricane andrew. Devastated, of course, southern florida. Then there was ka meal, can and ironically the labor day hurricane of 1935. So, jim, this is something that everyone along the florida coast and the carolina coast really should sit down with family members and start thinking about their preparations and possibility that come this weekend youre going to be evacuating some major areas. Right, tom, thats what i want to ask you. It sounds like people in florida need to start thinking about hurricane preparations. As you said, it we might be four or five days off. But even for folks in puerto rico and the caribbean, time is winding down in terms of when this storm is going to be hitting those areas. And then florida is potentially next. What should people be doing . Lets look at tour more models. Lets put the european and u. S. Model together. Last thursday they were 1200 miles apart when they ended. Theyre in agreement, theyre on top of each other. This gives us a better idea. This is sunday afternoon and thats pretty close to miami, west palm. Theyre both models are here. Lets take it into september 11th and well get a better idea of who should start planning. Now, again, were several days away so obviously there could be some changes, but we believe that these models have they have a great grasp on the environment, especially european. It handled harvey wonderfully to an unfortunate end. But again, were looking at somewhere possibly southern florida, coastal georgia, or the carolinas. Our one saving grace lets mention, though, lets hope and pray for this, it can get picked up sooner and head out into the open waters. But again, that window is shutting quickly. Im sure the local authorities will start sending out notiones, preparing, getting resources in place. Families need to do their own get together and powwow what their plans will be as well. After harvey, we have to start looking at irma. Tom, thank you for that warning. We appreciate it. Lets turn to the growing tensions in north korea. Cnn White House Correspondent sara murray is there. What is the latest on this, sara . Reporter jim, the president spoke with the south Korean Leader about the act of aggression in north korea and on the call the two World Leaders agreed that south korea should be able to possess more powerful weaponry to respond to threats like this. Now, this comes at a time when the white house is still saying all options are on the table when it comes to north korea and President Trump is pointing his finger at other countries insisting they step up and do more to curb the provocation. President trumps bomb bass tick threats north korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. Reporter appear to be ringing hollow with pyongyang. As north korea tested what it claimed was a Hydrogen Bomb over the weekend. While trump recently complimented north Korean Leader kim jongun for his restraint kim jongun, i respect the fact that i believe he is starting to respect us. I respect that fact very much. Reporter now the administration is making clear its patience is running thin as this dangerous Foreign Policy crisis escalates. Mr. President , will you attack north korea . Reporter on sunday, secretary of defense james matt isles told reporters military options were actively under consideration. Any threat to the United States or its territories including guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response. Reporter as trump revved up threats of economic pressure, tweeting, the United States is considering in addition to other options stopping all trade with any country doing business with north korea. And at an emergency meeting of the United NationsSecurity Council today, u. N. Ambassador nikki haley fired off this warning. War is never something the United States wants. We dont want it now. But our countrys patience is not unlimited. We will defend our allies and our territory. Reporter this weekend trump acknowledged north koreas latest move was a Major Nuclear test. And then promptly lashed out at other nations for failing to do more to curb the rogue regimes aggression. The president calling north korea a great threat and embarrassment to china. But on the heels of a nuclear test that shook the crowd in south korea, trump saved his sharp est ire for a key u. S. Ally in this predicament, tweeting, south korea is finding as i have told them that their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. They only understand one thing. As tensions rise with north korea, trump is preparing to make a controversial move on u. S. Soil. Sources tell cnn he is expected to announce tuesday that he will end the obama era deferred actions for childhood arrivals program, the program that allows undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children to avoid deportation. Trump plans to delay the decision for six months to give Congress Time to come up with a fix. A move welcomed by some republicans. But banned by democrats and the head of the Hispanic Chamber of commerce who pointed to trumps repeated vows to protect the socalled dreamers. We love the dreamers. We love everybody. If he gets rid of daca, hes showing that he is a liar. Reporter now, president obama has been relatively quiet post presidency, but trumps announcement tomorrow could be the kind of thing that would inspire him to speak up. He said in his last press conference as president that if there was any effort to roll back daca, he feels like that was the kind of moment he should speak out to. Jim . Absolutely right. Sara murray, thank you very much. There is also tough talk from the Trump Administration which says all options are on the table against north korea. Lets turn to cnn pentagon correspondent barbara starr. Barbara, all of this tough talk, it sure is easier said than done. But here we go again. Reporter easier said than done, but interestingly, secretary of Defense James Mattis is making clear if it comes to it, it will not be a pin rick that the u. S. Administers. This Live Fire Exercise by south korean forces, a direct military response to the norths Largest Nuclear test. Army and air forces simulating an attack on north Koreas Nuclear test site. Even as north korean state media issued new threats to the u. S. , including guam, one editorial saying, every time the u. S. Goes crazy talking about sanctions and war, our will of vengeance will become hundred and thousand times stronger. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley very much in the hard line mode backing kim. His abusive use of missiles and his Nuclear Threats show that he is begging for war. War is never something the United States wants. We dont want it now. Reporter rising tensions pushing defense secretary james mattis to exactly where he never wants to be, center stage at the white house. Any threat to the United States or its territories, including guam or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming. Reporter but are there credible military options without thousands of casualties . What i think secretary mattis was doing was simply trying to convince the north that we have this option, and they cannot be certain we would never use it under certain circumstances. Reporter it may be the most critical decision ever for donald trump. How much of a price we are willing to pay, how much we are willing to bleed to accomplish our objectives, this is a decision, not for military members. This is a decision for elected political leaders to make. And they always have to weigh the cost versus the benefit. Reporter short of u. S. Attack, the pentagon could send an Aircraft Carrier offshore, the Ronald Reagan is nearby. More bombers could be sent. South korea and japan both upping their Missile Defenses and cooperation with the u. S. But there is no indication kim jongun is listening. Translator we predict that north korea could fire an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile to show that they have obtained the means of delivering a nuclear bomb to the United States. Reporter now, the pentagon could send additional aircraft and ships to the region. No decisions have been announced yet to that end, but for exercises and drills, the key question is would any of that really change kim jonguns mind about his Weapons Program and the betting is that he would not. Jim . Critical question to ask. Barbara starr, thank you very much. Cnns will ripley returned from his latest trip. He joins us from tokyo. Will, what about this critical question, can the norths attitude, behavior, ever change . Reporter well, what theyre trying to do, were really seek it very clearly, is to demonstrate to the United States that they defiantly are developing these weapons. And the series of things that theyve done are strategic, i believe, to try to make the case that they have the capability to launch an icbm with a Nuclear Warhead to hit the United States. They launched an intermediate range missile over japan frightening people who lived in this kun tie. Then they put out editorials calling on the United States to change its longstanding position refusing to recognize north korean as a nuclear power. Then they released images of him standing over a Hydrogen Bomb that could go on a icbm. A few hours later they test the Hydrogen Bomb kristen sze acing a Massive Underground explosion, the biggest north Korea Nuclear test to date. Now there are indications according to south korean lawmakers north korea is preparing to launch potentially another icbm or another type of Ballistic Missile possibly towards the pacific, perhaps even in the direction of the u. S. Territory of guam. So, from the launch to the editorial to the photos to now this potential Missile Launch after the nuclear test, north korea saying very clearly that they will not back down and they want the United States to acknowledge them, to give them respect, to give them legitimacy, something that the u. N. Ambassador nikki haley made very clear today shes not willing to do. So, frankly, i dont really see an end to this. And we dont know when this next launch is coming, jim. It could be matter of hours, a matter of days. All right, thats very disturbing. Will ripley, thank you very much. Lets get more on all of this with the Ranking Member of the senate Foreign Relations committee senator of maryland jim cardin. How much of a advancement is this of north korea what we saw with this test . Well, jim, first, its good to be with you. North korea is very dangerous what theyre doing. Theres no question about it. Theyre trying to refine their capacity not only to develop a Nuclear Weapon, but to be able to deliver a Nuclear Weapon against the u. S. And against the west. Its a very dangerous situation. But what we need is to change the calculation and to change the calculation, the United States needs to be a more aggressive leader with our regional partners in this, including china and hopefully also russia. Thats the only way i think we can get north korea to really take a change in attitude towards their current program. So, what we need is really a surge in diplomacy. We have not seen that from the Trump Administration. Yeah, how does that surge of diplomacy happen . It doesnt seem to be what the president wants to do at this point. In fact, he was today talking about trade actions with china. Hes accusing south korea of appeasement. It sounds like hes isolating himself on this with more bluster and more tough talk. I think everyone recognizes that a military option will have a significant consequence. It could be catastrophic and loss of life. It really is it has to be a last resort. The way to change north koreas calculation is to get china much more engaged in its actions with north korea. That requires diplomacy, not threats, but diplomacy. And thats what we havent seen from the administration. We havent seen really a game plan that could lead to a diplomatic end to this crisis. Because couldnt china just call the president s bluff when he talks about taking action against china on trade as a sort of leverage with north korea . Couldnt china, president xi, just fold his hands and say, well, go ahead. Im pretty comfortable im pretty confident youre not going to do what youre saying youre going to do. The chinese know that the u. S. Cant afford a trade war with china to try to prevent an actual war with north korea. Youre exactly right. A trade war has a twoedged sword. It not only could hurt china, it could very much hurt the United States and our economy. Theres no question about that. But the bottom line is at this moment, we want to end this confrontation with north korea. We want to at least put a freeze on their program and hopefully go on a path that ends their development of Nuclear Weapons that could hit our country or our allies of our country. That requires north korea to have confidence that china will not tolerate north koreas development, which north korea, i think, recognizes china doesnt want a nuclear north korea, but china hasnt acted on that. Thats where the United States, i think, is losing a partner that could really help us change the equation in north korea. Instead, we see inconsistent messages coming out of the Trump Administration. One day they like president xi of china, the next day they want to impose additional sanctions. We havent seen a consistent strategy as it relates to north korea. And when you heard the president over the weekend when he was asked, well, are we going to war with north korea, and he said, well see, what did you think about that . Well, i think the president s language certainly has escalated the problems. We know north korea is dangerous. We know that. We know theyve been developing weapons for a long time. We know that theyre continuing along that path. Thats all given. But what the president has done is isolate the United States from having the type of cooperation from china and russia that i think is absolutely essential to change the equation in north korea. So, the president s language here saying, well, well see about dropping bombs, what our military options are, i dont think helps us in trying to find a nonmilitary solution. And should the u. S. Try to start negotiations with the kim jongun regime . You heard the president say a couple weeks ago in phoenix, well, we feel like theyre respecting us now. Obviously this test over the weekend, i guess, runs counter to that somewhat. Should we start to engage in these diplomatic talks with north korea, do you think . Our objective is to get north korea to change its course, to first freeze its Current Development so they do no more tests. And secondly, to pull back on their development of Nuclear Weapons and the capacity of delivering those Nuclear Weapons. The way to do that is to engage china and to have china work with the United States so that north korea is isolated. Yes, we need to communicate and work to change the equation there, and that will require some discussions with north korea, but were not in that position where we could make that productive unless we have china willing to really engage north korea. Thats where i think the president s policies have not been clear. And instead, we hear the rhetoric about dropping weapons or using military, which i believe isolates ourselves not only from north korea, but also from china. Okay, senator, we want to take a quick break. As you know, there is another big story developing in washington and thats President Trumps expected decision to end the daca program for the dreamers.

Sources say President Trump is expected to end the Obama Era Program known as daca, deferred action for childhood arrivals. Were back with senator cardin from maryland, member of the Foreign Relations committee. Is the president going to come out tomorrow, hes going to get rid of daca, there might be a sixmonth delay on this . Obviously it is going to cause great anxiety in the undocumented community, in the hispanic community, of course. I guess the question is if hes going to make it a sixmonth delay so congress can pass something, are you confident at all that this is going to get through the congress . We dont know what congress will do, but if the president rd are protected today under daca, that their future now will be very unclear. Our values to be should protect people such as dreamsers who spent their entire lives here parts of our country. It is a tragic moment if the president goes forward with that. Do you think your republican colleagues are on the same page as you are when it comes to this . I think there is a strong bipartisan interest to protect the dreamers. The problem is how congress will take up immigration legislation. The senate took up immigration legislation a few years ago and, in fact, we passed a comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that dealt l dealt with the dreamers. But at this time when we had issues such as whether were going to build a wall on our southern border, how were going to deal with so many other aspects of the immigration system including enforcement, its difficult to see how we could get a bill through the congress to the president that he would sign. And it puts at great risk the dreamers, those who are protected under the daca program. So, i would just urge the president , dont do this. Its not in our countrys interest. Its against our countrys interest. Its going to cause great anxiety among hundreds of thousands of people in this country. It could very well hurt our economy and it will certainly hurt americas reputation. Okay, senator, ben card en, thank you very much. Well be watching that decision tomorrow and you will as well. Thank you for being on the situation room. We appreciate it. Thank you. Just ahead, Hurricane Irma could be the strongest to target the u. S. Well get the latest forecast next.

Find out how at sanfranciscodignity. Com. Were tracking new threats and warnings following north koreas biggest ever nuclear test. The white house says all options are on the table. Of course, the question is what does that mean . Lets bring in our specialists, john kirby, lets go to you first. South korean intelligence, they are predicting north korea could fire an icbm to show that they are capable of sending a Nuclear Weapon to the United States. What happens potentially do you think . What would the response be for the u. S. . Theyve already fired an icbm. Apparently has that range. We know theyve got the range. We know they are certainly working on nuclear bomb side of it. What we dont know for sure is whether they can miniaturize it and get it effectively on a missile and survive reentry. We think there is still work they are trying to do here. But in the event this would happen, it is important for people to know there is a multiple layered Missile Defense capability in the Pacific Region and here in the continental United States. Will it work . Ground based, sea based, it will work, has been proven. Perfect every time, no, but we continue to perfect and improve it. We have thaad there on the peninsula. Sea base, aegis missile destroyers that have capabilities and of course you have interceptors in greely, alaska. Listening to admiral, the Pacific Commander and secretary mattis, they say they are comfortable with the layered defense capabilities we have which really the question is what what is going to happen after that . Nobody wants it to lead to a broader conflict on the peninsula. Ron bronstein, weve heard tough talk from the president of north korean. The question is does this end the way these confrontations always end with north korea, which is the ransom is paid and we continue with the same situation on and on and on, or have things changed so much with this latest test over the weekend, the testing of the icbm that john mentioned that takes it to another level where we cant afford do that any more . Look, the short answer obviously is that we dont know. I think it is important for north korea to understand that there is always a military option on the shelf. The problem is there has been a reason that each of the three previous president s who grapple with this issue from both parties ultimately decided they could not pursue that option. Seoul is a city of 10 million people. There are nearly 40,000 u. S. Troops, as john kirby knows better than i, in south korea. And they are all within reach not of north Korean Nuclear weapons but of conventional weapons. So, i think administrations of both parties that have examined this and struggle with this over the last 20 years have all concluded that the collateral damage, the cost of any kind of preemptive military strike was too high. Now, maybe north korea is changing that equation, but i think most experts still believe that if youre talking about preventive war and you have the certainty of these kinds of consequence, that any president is going to hesitate before making that move. Caitlyn collins, the president was tweeting yesterday that the u. S. Is considering other options in terms of what to do about north korea, including going after this issue of trade with china as a way of using some kind of leverage on the north koreans. Obviously theyre a big trading partner with china. How real is that talk . Is that sort of a mirroring of the president saber rattling with tough talk on his trade with china . He said he would consider cutting off trade with anyone who does business with north korea. Obviously that meant specifically china, but it would spell Economic Disaster here in the United States. Everyone knows china has the worlds second largest economy. Theyre our biggest trading partner, but theyre not our only allies who do business with north korea. Germany, brazil, and mexico, all of them do as well. It is not likely he would cut off trade entirely with china. They could choose to target Certain Companies in china, but thats really up. But what were seeing here is the president lose patience with the International Response to north korea. And part of that patience that hes losing is with south korea. We saw the president seeming to criticize south korea yesterday in a tweet, david swerdlick, essentially saying that theyve been engaging in appeasement with north korea, saying that will not work. How productive is that . How helpful is that to be talking about the south koreans in that way . Yeah, so, as ron said, we have 30 or 40,000 u. S. Troops in south korea. Seoul, south koreas capital, is about 30 or 40 miles from the demilitarized zone. President moon jaein served in the south korean military. He the idea that he, a staunch ally of the United States, would need a reminder from President Trump about the stakes here i think is unproductive, especially in such a public way, jim. And caitlyn, tomorrow we do expect the president to make a very big decision on daca. And we do expect him to terminate that program, perhaps with the sixmonth delay to give congress some time to fix it. What do you think the potential is here for this white house moving forward . Can they convince congress to do something that they havent been able to convince congress to do so far, which is pass a very big mustpass piece of legislation . It hasnt worked out on health care and other issues. It is a challenge. They have not gotten congress to do anything, though they often Tell Congress how to do their jobs. It is not likely this would be any easier for them. This is a really big issue. What are they going to do next and what if congress doesnt pass this legislative fix for these people because the president has said he wants to have heart for them. He wants them to rest easy and he loves these dreamers. Hes basically telling congress, now you have heart. I tried to have heart on this. Now its your turn. Thats right, because he doesnt want it to fall on his shoulders that he made this decision, because he wants to both ways. He wants to be able to say that he followed through on his campaign promise, but he also doesnt want to dee porlt these people brought here as children. So hes really backed into a corner here. Ron, they dont really have not everybody has heart up on capitol hill. Weve learned that over the years, i guess. Look, the history here is instructive, and maybe predictive of how this is going to unfold. Sometimes critics say why did president obama protect the dreamers through executive action . Well, he only did that after legislative action failed with a Republicanled Senate filibuster. The legislation did pass the house in december of 2010 and then it got 55 votes in the senate, but 36 of the 39 Senate Republicans and five democrats joined in a filibuster that stopped it. Those voting against the bill included paul ryan in the house and lyndsindsey graham and john mccain in the senate. What the opponents argued either, like Jeff Sessions, they argued this was an amnesty bill and though opposed it. Or if they supported some action for the dreamers, they said it had to be coupled with steps on enforcement that were unacceptable to democrats. Jim, you can easily imagine that happening again with republicans demanding either funding for the wall or other steps that democrats would not accept, and this miring, twothirds of the public overall and a slight majority of republicans say they do support permanent legal status for the dreamers. Sounds like more heartburn than heart in store for capitol hill, david. With this busy legislative calendar coming up, i mean, now theyre going to add daca to a very long list of things that have to get passed. Yeah, its going to be a challenge for congress. They already have moved incredibly slowly. They havent been able to execute on the major pieces of legislation Like Health Care that President Trump wants. Now they have this one month to get done what they already had to do, which was to increase the debt ceiling, add that to the houston flood relief, add that to now daca, and this is going to stretch a congress that is not used to really working in an efficient expeditious way. John, i want to play sound from President Trump. In a 2012 interview he did with cnbc talking about the dreamers. Lets list tone this. As an example, you have people in this country 20 years. Theyve done a great job. Theyve done wonderfully. Theyve gone to school, theyve gotten good marks, theyre productive. Now were supposed to send them out of the country . I dont believe in that, michelle, and you understand that. John, what kind of message are we going to send to the world when President Trump, i guess decides to go against then 2012 donald trump who was professing we should show a lot of love and compassion and sympathy for these dreamers . I mean, the world is really watching this decision for the president. The way they watched what he did with charlottesville and so many of these other racially sensitive issues. Speaking as a former military man, i mean this gets right to the heart of who we are supposed to be as a country. And we are a nation of immigrants and the military itself is a military of immigrants. Justin trudeau so you know, theres about 8 to 10,000 dreamers that have been listed through a special program in the military, now the military is reviewing that right now, that program. So, i dont know how the chiefs will react to this. How do you deport somebody who is in the military . Exactly. This is a problem. You have people that are now serving. And when they enlist, jim, they enlist because they have special skills. Either Foreign Language skills or special medical skills. These are talented individuals that are really contributing to National Security and they are serving honorably right now. What do you do with them . And do you break faith with the contract that you signed with them . And i think that does not just send a powerful message to the world, but our own troops and the families about what it means to serve in unifornl. Ron bronstein, what john was talking about there, you have kids or young people in the military who could face the risk of deportation. I mean, have they really thought about all these ramifications on both ends of constitution avenue, pennsylvania avenue . Look at the direction the president has been going on immigration chlg, threatening to shut down the government over the wall, the original executive order muslim majority nations, the pardon of sheriff arpaio. Its easy to imagine how this might unfold on capitol hill where you have a combination of republicans, some republicans who oppose any version of this as Jeff Sessions did in 2010, as amnesty and others who might be willing to accept a solution for the dreamers but only if coupled to provisions on enforcement they know democrats cant accept, that are poison pills. That was paul ryans argument in 2010 when he voted against it. They needed these other provisions. Whatever the president says tomorrow, he has there is a very strong possibility this will ultimately fail in congress and that ultimately he will be the one who ends the program in effect. Okay, all right. Thanks very much. Great discussion on those issues. Thank you very much. Just ahead, our breaking news, Hurricane Irma upgraded to a powerful category 4 storm.

Our breaking news, even as texas struggles to get back on its feet after harvey, another powerful storm may pose a direct threat to the United States. Hurricane irma is now a powerful category 4 storm. Lets turn to meteorologist tom at the cnn Severe Weather center. Tom, this is going to be something to watch over the next several days. Well, exactly, jim. In fact, i want everybody to make sure they understand that. This is a longterm event. So, what i share with you now, lets say i show you a model that shows a land fall in miami as a category 4 next saturday, do not think miami is going to have a category 4 next saturday. Every day is important. Every computer model run that come out a couple times a day is important. Any deviation to the north and south is going to change the end game. But heres what we do know. Notice the sustained winds, 130 miles per hour, thats the same strength Hurricane Harvey was at when it made land fall and devastated rockport. We saw the suffering there and there is going to be some more suffering going on beginning with the Northern Islands of the lesser antilles. Anguilla will take ape direct hit. Conditions will deteriorate tomorrow afternoon. Well watch puerto rico, british and u. S. Virgin islands, those will become warnings. It looks right now if were going to go with the models, the system stays pretty much over water. Thats where we want most of the stronger winds. Thats where we want the heavier rain. They are still looking at 6 to 9 foot stornl surges in the islands. 10 inches of rain. If you have a flight to have a if you do have a vacation in this area, call ahead by the end of the week o to see if they still have power or communications. A major category 4. Heres the timeline. Wednesday, puerto rico, Dominican Republic, turks and caicos on the Northern Edge with the bahamas. Deviation north and sound changes this. National Hurricane Center track keeps it at category 4. This is something youll see during the week as well. It may drop down to category 3 then rebuild to 4. We have to see thousand interacts with landmasses. And, again, by looking at this you would think the Forward Momentum is going to take it into the gulf of mexico. We cant are rule that out just yet. But heres what we do know. If you look at the steering currents, High Pressure is keeping it on a southward movement. When it gets closer to cuba on friday afternoon, we expect the northern turn. Thanks to this trough. Although, we want to see this turn sooner than later because if theres any hope and possibility that it would skirt and stay off the u. S. Coastline, we want that to happen. But that window is shutting. So lets take a look at the spaghetti plots, again, a tight cluster, means they have a real grasp, jim, on the environment. Then sometime friday, it turns to the north. Until that turn occurs, we will not know whos going to have the landfall, and at what time. Could stay in the western half, could stay in the eastern coast and move toward the carolinas but its going to be a major hurricane. Theres a good chance, category 4, outside chance, category 5, jim. All right. Were going to keep a close eye on this, tom, thank you very much. We know you will as well. Well be right back. Much more news straight ahead. . Whats Critical Thinking like .

A new cnn film takes an unprecedented look inside the white house during Ronald Reagans presidency. The reagan show, an all archival film, compromised of largely seen un largely unseen footage, offers an unfiltered behind the scenes glimpse of americas 40th president. Take a look. Zbeegood evening. This is ronald areagan. President of the United States of america. Im pleased to speak to you on the occasion are you okay . Good evening. This is Ronald Reagan. President of the United States of america. Im pleased to speak to you on the occasion of the new year. On behalf of the american people, i wish you all a happy and healthy new year. Lets Work Together to make it a year of peace. There is no better goal for 1986 or for any year. Let us look forward to a future of for all mankind. Thank you. You say it better than i do, but it sounded as if it had a t in it. Yeah. Fascinating stuff. Ais im joined by cnn president ial historian. Tim, tell us more about this documentary. Theres a lot of video that was shot by the Reagan White House and it shows us the behind the scenes glimpse at the president we just never saw before. Like that clip where the president is practicing his new years address to the ussr. What do you make of this documentary . I think its a great look at Ronald Reagan. You know, its valuable because it shows you how much respect he had for the office and the extent to which he was creating the image of his presidency. Theres a wonderful moment, theres a clip from an interview that he did with david frost, the british journalist, and frost is saying to him, you know, you you auditioned for parts in hollywood, you obviously auditioned for the presidency, what was the harder job to audition for . The president reagan said obviously the presidency, because not only do you have to learn the lines, you have to write the script. And there was a real sense about reagan that he was writing his own script. It wasnt like he was reading someone elses. So, when you watch this film, you get a sense that he is very senvery sensitive to the dignity of the office. Another thing that comes across, hes very affable. You have unscripted moments where hes letting go and talking, you know, being improvisational and its kindhearted, even when hes critical, hes critical of the washington post, critical of the soviets but in a lifehear d lighthearted, affable way. Couldnt imagine him tweeting t it. In contrast to what were seeing today, the sunny optimism always comes through with reagan. I get a sense were going to see a lot of that in that documentary. Such a huge contrast with the politics of today. No question. Oh, really, if there had been social media then, he still wouldnt have president reagan still wouldnt have produced the tweets were seeing from the current occupant of the oval office. One thing to keep in mind, also, is theres a great debate over why reagan changed with regard to the soviets by the end of his second term. There are some comments he makes in front of the camera, but not broadcast, to give you a sense he knew, he really worried about the soviets but knew he thad to work with gorbachev. Tim neftali, thank you. The reagan show airs at 9 00 p. M. Erin Burnett Outfront starts right now. Outfront next, the world on edge.
