Tropical Storm Claudette caused multiple tornados that ripped through a town in alabama saturday. The twister left three people injured, one survivor said she rode out the tornado by hunkering down at home. When she came out, she was stunned by what she saw. Listen to this. All of the sudden the trees behind the houses over there, kind of just it was just like they imploded, they just fell over. I was in shock really. I didnt, i mean i didnt really know what to do. It was just really helpless feeling, because i knew we were fine, the einside of My House Ws fine but i walked out on the front porch, it was upsetting to see. It caused flooding across the region and forecasters say more tornadoes are possible. Cloudette weakened from a Tropical Storm since rolling in from the gulf of mexico, but it is expected to pick up steam again so lets bring in Meteorologist Tyler Maldin for more of what to expect. Those pictures we showed, kim, clearly explain why we cant take tropical cyclone tropical depressions and Tropical Storms likely. Even though its not a category 5 hurricane it can cause damage. The system is sitting to the north of montgomery. It it made landfall to the south of new orleans, now to the north of montgomery pushing to the northeast at 13 miles per hour. Cloudette is now a depression and throwing a lot of rainfall across the Deep South here. Weve had reports of tornadoes, also had reports of rainfall well above 9, 10 inches and this is why we have a Flood Watch in effect for the areas shaded in green from the carolinas, north and Central Georgia to portions of alabama and the panhandle of florida, likely to see about five inches or so in this area but you Cant Rule out some isolated higher amounts. We have a Tornado Watch that continues for portions of Georgia And Alabama and the panhandle of florida. We have a very healthy band of thunderstorms pushing into the panhandle and the Big Bend Of Florida right now. Be aware of that if you live down there and youre watching this at the moment. Here is where the depression is going from here, move to the northeast, over the carolinas, start to lose its steam, becomes a 35mileperhour Storm later on this evening but once it reemerges in the western atlantic, it could regenerate back into a Tropical Storm. By the way we have Tropical Storm watches for the coastal carolinas. The next storm on the list will be danny. Were not watching any out there right now. If we were to watch an area, liningly around in here, the gulf of mexico, caribbean and this is where claudette also formed so this is right on par climatololo climatologically. Once we get into july we look farther out pushing down deep near the caribbean and eventually out towards the leeward islands. Were not watching anything else out there but we have this One System thats wreaking havoc across the Deep South. Absolutely. Tyler, thank you so much for that.

The country is now losing an average of 54 people per day to Gun Violence. Cnns Evan Mcmorrissantoro has a closer look. Reporter more Gun Violence incidents this weekend in what is shaping up to be a very deadly year in america. Another deadly weekend in the u. S. With even more Mass Shootings and Gun Violence incidents. A Shootin Ining in minneapolis five injured and Colorado Springs two separate shootings less that be a mile apart friday night. One at a mall carnival, the other people outside the restaurant. Five people ended up in the hospital. The specifics vary but all three tell the terrifying normalcy of Gun Violence. Cnn defines a Mass Shooting as four or more people shot, excluding the shooter, thats happened more than 280 times across the country since the beginning of 2021. According to the Gun Violence archive, thats about 40 more than this point in 2020 and 65 more than in 2019. That type of violence has been surging through the pandemic and now in 2021, were really seeing those Numbers Rise and we can think about how the pandemic has increased stress, increased frustration, added to things like Job Loss and Trauma And Isolation and we know all of that has an impact on Gun Violence. Reporter in chicago, a Mass Shooting early Tuesday Morning left four people dead and another four injured. Among those killed, 19yearold Tremetria williams who was supposed to attend her high school graduation. Unfortunately chicago is not unique. We are part of a club of cities to which no one wants to belong, cities with Mass Shootinged. Reporter across the country in arizona a single suspect was arrested in connection with eight different shootings in the Phoenix Metro Area that left one person dead and at least 12 others injured by Gunfire Or Hit by shrapnel. A warning, the following video is disturbing to watch. We usually see only the aftermath of the terrifying incidents, but in the bronx, Surveillance Cameras captured an attack on thursday and children caught in the crossfire. Though the children were not shot and the victim is in stable condition it serves as a stark reminder of the violence the increasing number of americans are confronting. Theres no indication the number of Gun Violence incidents and Mass Shootings will slow down any time soon in this country. That means a lot of americans are hoping that the rest of 2021 looks a lot better than the year has so far when it comes to Gun Violence. Evan mcmore riscmorrissantoro york. In California City leaders passed a new gun control law. Late last month a shooter killed nine people at the public Transit Yard before turning the On Gun herself. The mayor says its aimed at stopping socalled straw purchasing, when someone buys a gun for another person who isnt allowed to have one. Just about every Gun Store i know already has a Video Camera somewhere in the store like many retail outlets do. This isnt a huge intrusion. We know were on video when we go into retail stores. The point of recording a transaction is to crack down on straw purchasing, a common way for gangs and criminal organizations to get guns and if youre going to violate the law to get a gun, youre almost certainly going to violate the law with the gun so we need the first thing we need to do is make sure the guns dont get into the hands of those who are going to violate the law. A Welltodo District in atlanta is pushing to break away and become its own city. Many residents of buckham have wanted to secede for decades. A recent surge in crime re reignited their cause. Reporter the city of atlanta, like many across the u. S. Right now, is experiencing an uptick in violent crime that has staken Et Cetera residents and left them wondering why. People are in fear. Reporter some people in buckhead think they have the answer breaking up with the city all together. The idea of Buck Head seceding from atlanta is a new one but has caught steam as the violence unfolds. The latest incident, two teens allegedly shot a Security Guard in an attempt to break into an Apple Store last weekend. I really support this whole idea of people starting to stand up and say no, no, we have to fight for our homes here. Reporter those homes account for only about 20 of the citys residents, but provide about 40 of the citys tax base. I think it would be good to have control over our own roads, to have control over our police force. I think it would be great to see our tax dollars staying kind of local and being used here. We have been talking to all of our neighbors, theyre all fed up. Reporter bill Whites Group the Buckhead City committee is gaining Funding And Traction as it calls for cityhood with leadership stronger than with mayor lancebottoms. Reporter why not elect a new mayor . It would make sense to work with the new mayor. The clinical definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Reporter theres a major rift in how to fix the problem. Bill torpe says a secession would set a bad precedent. This 11861 all over again in the city of atlanta. Reporter and there are racial undercurrents. Atlanta is 40 white and the Buckhead Neighborhood is about 75 white according to 2019 u. S. Census data. Its kind of an unsaid thing and ultimately i think the bigger picture is that moving these people away, moving this big section of the city away from the city of atlanta would just be a devastating impact. Reporter a financial impact that would bring uncertainty to the whole area, according to the man leading the campaign to keep buckhead in atlanta. Its just a lot of little details that have to be worked out, in this case. Reporter ed lindsey, a republican who represented buckhead in the Georgia Elect Tour legislature for a decade, without specifics on tax structure, what Police And Fire look like and thousands of children attending public schools the better way is electing new atlanta leaders. Its not a matter of simply carving things up. Its a matter of folks coming together and demanding better from our local elected officials. Reporter while the idea of a Buckhead Secession is gaining steam, the process would take a while. The Georgia State Legislature would have to approve the idea and send the referendum to the voters, who live within the boundaries of the new proposed city to determine their fate, and the earliest any of that can happen is next year. Natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. The first sentencing of a u. S. Capitol rioter is set for later this week. Its been more than five months since a crowd of protrump rioters stormed the building trying to stop congress from certifying Joe Bidens election. Since then hundreds have been charged in connection with the attack. Marshall cohen reports it could be months or years before their cases are wrapped up. Reporter we are just a few days away from the first Capitol Rioter getting sentenced. Its been more than five months since January 6th and nearly 500 people have been charged. The defendants come from all across america, 43 states and washington, d. C. Theyre from big cities and small towns, include people that flew here on private jets and others that scraped together the money to pay for gas. Now a few of these defendants have already pleaded guilty and later this week, one of them will be sentenced, anna morgan lloyd. Back on the day of the attack January 6th she posted online it was the best day ever. Now shes singing a different tune, apologizing for her actions, disavowing the rioters who got violent and asking her judge for a lenient Sentence And Shell find out her fate on wednesday. Its possible she gets no jail time and thats because prosecutors have even said that probation might be appropriate, because shes pleading guilty to one misdemeanor of nonviolently demonstrating inside the capitol. But her case is really moving a lot faster than many of the other cases. One lawyer who represents about a dozen rioters said he wants to take his cases to Trial And Fight for acquittals that could take month or years and prosecutors are adding new defendants to some of the large conspiracy cases against right Wing Extremist groups like the Prout Boys and the oathkeepers. All these months later were still finding out new things from January 6th and seeing new footage from the attack. The Justice Department last week released about a Half Dozen Video clips after cnn and other News Outlets filed a lawsuit trying to get those publicly released.

Chinas Health Care Campaign got off to a slow start but the pace picked up in may with more than 500 Million shots over the past month. Top health officials Around The World say the covid Delta Variant is on its way to becoming globally dominant. According to data from the World Health Organization at least 80 countries reported cases of the variant and the Trance Missibility has officials worried about areas of unvaccinated populations. In missouri for example only 43 of the total population is at least partially vaccinated and the Delta Variant is already on the rise there. For more on this im joined by mohammad muneer, virologist at Lancaster University in england. Thank you for joining us. Weve been warned about variants before, not that long ago doing segments about the Uk Variant and our top experts were warning it could trigger a fourth wave here in the u. S. , and that surge didnt really happen, not in any significant way. Obviously that was before we had as many people vaccinated as we do now but still from a public perception perspective, is there a danger here that people might tune out the warnings about this variant . Compare the Delta Variant to the others weve seen. What makes this one so worrisome . Thank you, kim, for having me on the show. I think one of the important things with the Delta Variant is the unique mutations that havent been seen individually in any of the other variants, making it more strongly to bind to our cells and internalize which make it much more contagious len and globally with 80 countries reporting and becoming predominant in many countries including the u. S. , 10 of the cases belonging to this variant, all these indicate that so far all the variants that we have seen Delta Variant seems to be more contagious and more dangerous and primarily one reason that makes it more dangerous is because it is escaping immunity and becoming more Trance Missible in particularly unvaccinated population. So just from a uk perspective, as an example the uk has been particularly hardhit and it seems look its spread primarily by young people. Give us a sense of whats happening there. What are you seeing . Absolutely if we look at the picture, in england we have 315 counties out of these 285 counties are the ones that are reporting cases, and all of them are belonging to the Delta Variant and in england, 80 of the country is having an increased number of cases, and looking onto all the consequences of the positive cases, 99 of those positive cases belonging to the Delta Variant and this is more spread into poor communities, communities where the Vaccine Hesitancy has been all in all population where the Vaccine Hasnt been rolled out at that scale, were able to have some barrier against the spread of infection. Because of this Delta Variant becoming more transmissible and covering wider communities, even if it is not dangerous, it would take a larger toll on death and thats what were starting to see here in the uk. I saw a study of cases in scotland that found the risk of Hospital Admission with the variant was roughly double compared to the alpha or Uk Variant. You mentioned the vaccine. Basically for people who have been vaccinated, who are watching this, are you essentially protected . Is there nothing to worry about here . Well, one thing is clear, its better to have vaccine than not having it because if we look on to the number of people ended up in hospital in the uk, or ultimately died unfortunately, it was the majority of people are the ones unvaccinated, for example in the hospitalized people 806 are hospitalized recently. Out of those 65 are ones that are unvaccinated. So it indicates that if youre not vaccinated the chances for you to end up in hospital after getting the Delta Variant in particular is extremely high. Overall getting the vaccine is much better than having covid19, particularly with the new variants like Delta Variant. And then there are so many communities who have been hard to reach with these vaccinations. This comes in the context of opening up here in georgia for example. Everythings pretty much back to normal. Weve seen the eu now dropping the Travel Restrictions for many countries including for the u. S. Here, so whats the fear as we are opening up more and more, as were traveling more and more and this variant is becoming more and more dominant . Absolutely. That is, kim, the most worrying part of this moment because this variant, whenever it gets the chance to spread either by opening up the borders or to the unvaccinated communities, we cannot be vaccinated for another reason. This variant would have the potential to mutate more because theres always immune pressure within the community and any mutations that come make the variants more transmissible and dangerous and i think one of the important is the fact that we have to be sure, weve been saying this from the beginning of this pandemic, vaccines need to be rolled out quickly, because earlier we can vaccinate the population Around The World, 7075 of the population better chances to have an open economy globally and Delta Variant is particularly of concern as the number of countries 80plus countries are reporting in a shorter time that dictate how transmissible it is. Were a long way from Herd Immunity globally here. Thank you so much for speaking with us, virologist muhammad munir, really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. As very mentioned in the u. S. , concerns over the Delta Variant are growing with 45 of the population vaccinated, almost 150 Million people. Those numbers could be higher but one group is consistently against Covid19 Vaccines, white evangelical christians. The one prominent religious leader is speaking out, Reverend Franklin Graham spoke to our panel of analysts. Listen. Covid is a real problem and it can destroy your life, and a vaccine could possibly save your life, and i dont know why people are afraid, pamela. For me, its an easy question to answer. I took the vaccine. But i tell people this is your personal choice. I dont say people have to have it. This is a personal choice. Talk to your doctor, pray about it and then you examine, do the right thing. Reverend Franklin Graham speaking to pamela brown. In brazil more than a half million people have died since the pandemic began. The Death Toll is twice as high as it was six months ago a sign the Mortality Rate is accelerating. Thousands took to the streets across the countryside to protest President Jair bolsonaros handling of the pandemic. Journalists steph know potsebon has more on the Case Surge and reaction inside the country. Reporter On Saturday, brazil became the second country in the world after the united states to cross the threshold of over 500,000 covid19 deaths. The South American Country reported 2,319 new deaths saturday and brings the total number of cases reported by the brazilian Health Ministry since the beginning of the pandemic to over 17 Million cases. As brazil marked these milestones, thousands of protesters come to the streets to demand impeachment of President Jair bolsonaro over his handling of the pandemic. Major brazilian cities all reported the large scale and peaceful demonstrations as did the countrys capital, brasilia. Bolsonaro did not address the covid19 deaths nor the protests when he attended an event earlier On Saturday but his Communication Minister Fabio fahria did so on Social Media attacking the Governments Critic for not focusing on the millions of vaccine doses delivered by the government and even cheering for the virus, according to the communications minister.

The president of ugandas Olympic Committee sayss not showing any symptoms. Its the latest hurdle for the pandemic delayed 2020 games. On saturday, officials canceled all public viewing events due to covid concerns. Tokyos governor says some venues will be used as Vaccination Sites instead. Overseas spectors have been ruled out. Olympics officials havent decided whether to allow japanese fans in the stands. Lena Wang Hat the latest. Reporter organizers are still struggling to decide how many spectators if any can attend. The majority in japan are still against holding the olympics this summer and medical experts continue to warn that even without any spectators, its impossible to hold the olympics in a completely safe bubble, considering it involves Tens Of Thousands of participants from more than 200 countries. Japans top Covid19 Adviser recommends the olympics held without spectator. We believe that it is desirable to not allow spectators as that will reduce infection. Medical experts worry the olympics will cause a rebound of covid19 cases in japan and overwhelm the medical system. But olympic organizers still say theyll try to have spectators but say they may have to cancel at the last minute. Tra i want to make every effort to continue in discussions until The End, so as many people as possible watch the games she said. Olympic organizers also acknowledge the Delta Variant poses a major risk putting additional restrictions on athletes coming from india, requiring to quarantine and be tested every day for seven days before their arrival in japan. For three days after they Cant Train or Test Match with other countries. In fact, all athletes tested daily, and tokyo in large parts of japan the State Of Emergency is finally lifting, shifting to a quasiState Of Emergency until july 121th. The government will allow spectators in places where there is no longer an emergency. This ceremony held at that national stadium would have more than 80 of the seats empty. The Prime Minister is wary how easily infections could turn worse after restrictions are lifted urging the public to watch the games at home. The japanese public is worried, too. I dont think the olympics need to be held he tells me. There will be so many coming into japan that will probably go out and could give us infections. For any spectators allowed, its the no going to be the usual celebration. Organizers said they should go straight to Olympic Venues and back to their homes with no Drinking Or Partying in the streets, and to eat alone or far apart from others. An olympics like No Other for athletes and participants but clearly for the spectators, too. Another major concern is the low Vaccination Rate. Just about 6 of the japanese population has been fully vaccinated and unclear what percentage of volunteers and staff will be vaccinated in time for the games. The Prime Minister has vowed to reach 1 Million vaccinations a day but to put things into perspective, even at that rate, less than 20 of the japanese population would be fully vaccinated by the time the olympics begin. That was cnns selina wang reporting. In taiwan it will receive 2. 5 million doses of moderna from the u. S. More than three times washington promised earlier this month.

Each box contains 100 of these and the company says they can scale up production and eventually produce 40 Million to 50 Million doses a year. One the one hand i feel exciting that our vaccine is coming but on the other hand i also feel very sad, even one month earlier maybe we are able to save more peoples lives. Reporter this is ceo charles chens first interview since his company applied for emergency use authorization. What would you is atoysasae to in taiwan might be reluctant . The data and result is transparent and convinces, i think people will very much be conv convinced. Reporter chen says that data shows their vaccine is safe. It produces antibodies in 99. 8 of patients. They dont know the efficacy rate. Taiwan had almost no active cases until just over a month ago. How do you develop a vaccine when you dont have active cases . This is a difficult question. Reporter overseas Business Development Investor Paul Tokquehagen says they had the phase two. A phase two is a few hundred people. Our phase two was 2,800 participants. We wanted a large amount of safety data. Reporter since you dont know efficacy is it too soon to start vaccinating people .
