trump s endorsement kari lake. here is how lake responded. i m sad that hobbs and her camp would try to pin this on us. it s wrong. it s so obvious what s happening. her own party is attacking her. she s trying to deflect her own abysmal campaign and the fact that, you know, nobody even knows where her campaign office is. the person who broke into it probably didn t realize it was a cam campaign office. it s really sad. let s get more on this. what s the latest? reporter: the latest we re hearing is the phoenix police is trying to figure out who is responsible, looking for a suspect. the hobbs campaign says they re taking an inventory and trying to figure out if any sensitive material was taken, but pointing out it s still quite early in their discovery that there was a break-in. what we re now hearing is that the video, those still images you re seeing of that man was from the internal campaign office, pictures that were taken from cctv, security camera footage from t

wrongs. president biden wipes out federal marijuana possession convictions. what that means for the effort to decriminalize marijuana nationwide. we have a series of serial murders occurring. people are scared to come out. police in california on the hunt for a killer. the one characteristic they are asking the community to zero in on as the search for the suspect continues. newsroom starts right now. good morning. it is saturday, october 8th. good morning. you are live in the cnn newsroom. we start this morning in eastern europe. at least three people have been reported dead in a huge explosion that crippled europe s largest bridge and pair lased a key supply route for russia s war in ukrainian. that blast crippled the only bridge linking russia to the annexed territory of crimea. the kerch bridge is a huge symbol for the kremlin and the attempt to reunify crimea with the russian mainland. let s get to fred pleitgen. russia blamed the explosion on ukraini
the ukrainians. so far the ukrainians have not claimed responsibility. in fact, one senior adviser to the volodymyr zelenskiy, hinted he believes tf an inside job within the russian security services but unclear who is behind it. we can see on our screens that massive explosion that took place in the early morning hours. the russian investigative committee, the russians say is on the scene and has been working. they say that an explosion occurred at a truck, that a truck blew up and that that explosion sort of caused the chain reaction because there was a train carrying fuel going past that area of the bridge at that point in time. several fuel tanks catching fire, blowing up as well. that s what that big fire that we see now with that thick black smoke going out there for a very long period of time before the russians were able to put that out. the status right now seems to be it s quite interesting because you mentioned this, fredricka, that the russians are saying that t
