And we want to wish you a very good sunday morning. Welcome to new day. Im christi paul. Im boris sanchez. Building back from Hurricane Ida. Louisianas governor says that his state has a long way to go its recovery, what he calls the biggest challenge in the recovery effort. Senator Joe Manchin is squaring off with Delfellow Democrats and potentially throwing up roadblocks for president Bidens Agenda of that massive spending bill. Plus, last man out. Cnn sitting down with a pilot who flew the final Evacuation Flight out of afghanistan. Also, going to extremes. From devastating floods and powerful hurricanes, how Climate Change is fueling this Extreme Weather and why we can see more of it. It is sunday, september 5th. We are so grateful you are spending part of your Labor Day Weekend with us. Good morning, christi. Good morning, boris. Yeah, happy Labor Day to everybody. Maybe a little extra day this there for you, we hope. So were talking about President Biden, he is preparing to visit another area of the country ravaged by Hurricane Ida. He will travel to New York and New Jersey this week to survey the storm damage. That follows his visit to louisiana last week. Yeah, there have been at least 50 stormrelated deaths across six states in the northeast. The remnants of Hurricane Ida brought unprecedented rainfall that led to catastrophic flooding in that area. Along the Gulf Coast Gas remains in short supply. People have been waiting in line for hours to fill their cars and gas cans to power their generators. Still more than 700,000 people remain without electricity. The Power Company, entergy, estimates that electricity will finally be restored to most of its 1 Million customers by wednesday. We hope that for all of you down there. While louisiana residents are waiting for the power to come back on, a lot of them are waiting in line, as you saw there, for gas. Its not just gas. They need food and other necessities. Cnn correspondent Adrian Broadus is in New Orleans. Talk to us about what you are seeing today that might be different from what you saw yesterday there. Reporter well, christi, one week ago today this tree tumbled. I want my photographer, carlos, to walk with me. But as this tree tumbled, its a sign of what folks have been through before here in louisiana. They have fallen before, but they tell me they are determined to get back up. As you can see, the power in this uptown neighborhood is up and running in some parts. Neighborhood, that is. Other parts of the city in New Orleans are still without power. As you see over on this side, there is a portable streetlight which is powered by the generator. And yesterday for much of the day early in the morning all you could hear was the hum of that generator. But this morning you hear vehicles traveling through and you see the lights flashing. At last check, and i want to point out these numbers fluctuate, there were more than 640,000 outages. Thats down from the peak which was 1. 1 him. Keep in mind, these are outages, homes and businesses. The number of people who are still without power is greater. There could be a family of five living in one house and some sad news to report here also. The number of deaths linked to Hurricane Ida has gone up to 12. The governor says the biggest challenge right now is dealing with electricity. Electricity is one of the biggest challenges that we have across southeast louisiana. We know that and depending on the damage to the infrastructure, the transmission lines, the distribution lines, as well as generation capabilities, there is not an even rate of restoration going on. Thats always going to be the case. Reporter and one Power Company says it has 24,000 people, men and women, working around clock to get the power back on safely. Thats 24,000 families who have Loved Ones working to restore power here in louisiana. And in the last seven days, on top of the 12 deaths linked to ida. 350 people have died due to covid. Thats just a tremendous amount of stress, as you can imagine, especially for the Health Care professionals who have been dealing with the pandemic for the last year. They have zipped more Body Bags than some people will probably zip in their entire careers. Boris and christi. Yeah, a really devastating note to think about as that region recovers. Adrian broadus, thank you. Lets talk about covid. The total number of u. S. Hospitalizations, because of covid19, nearly tripled in july and they doubled again in the month of august. Thats according to new data in health and human services. Right now there are more than 100,000 people hospitalized with more than 25,000 in icus. It comes amid this growing confusion about Covid Vaccine Booster shots. The White House may have to dial back plans to administer a third dose and limit the booster only to those who received the Pfizer Vaccine specifically. The fda and the cdc want more data before approving a third moderna shot. Heres more. Id like to make an important announcement. Reporter last month President Biden said americans should be ready to take a third Covid19 Vaccine shot eight months after their last dose with boosters being made available starting September 20th. But now word that the only third shot available on that day may be pfizer. The fda says it needs more data on the moderna vaccine, a delay that could take a few weeks, and still no indication as to whether those who received the Singleshot Vaccine from Johnson Johnson will need an additional booster. The need for additional shots combined with this delay has some people wondering how protected they really are and may have others hesitating to get the vaccine at all. But scientists say these kinds of changes are to be expected given the timeline of the virus. One of the things that i think folks need to keep in mind is that the urgency, the speed with which you got the vaccines, was really important for saving lives. But it did not allow us to look in the long term for obvious reasons and now we are having to sort of figure this out as we go. So id give them a little slack. Say, okay, lets do it right. Take a little bit more time if we need it. Reporter right now 53 of the u. S. Population is fully vaccinated. 62 have at least received their first dose. The u. S. Is now averaging 166,000 new covid19 cases every day. Thats according to johns hopkins. With a 7 increase over last weeks average. And medical experts are warning that the Nations Healthcare System is on the brink of disaster. Our hospitals are at the Breaking Point already. I will tell you ers across the country, my colleagues are crying out for help. We dont have enough nurses. We dont have enough beds. Not because of covid, but because of all the other stuff that wasnt taken care of for the past year and a half. Even a small Covid Surge in many states is going to put hospitals into crisis mode. Reporter as children across the Country Head back to school there is concern regarding kids and covid. A new study from the cdc finds pediatric hospitalizations for covid19 soared over the summer as the Delta Variant Spread across the globe. The Hospitalization Rate was ten times higher for unvaccinated kids than it was for those who had gotten their full shots, and doctors say we have to do everything we can to keep children safe. We are seeing sick children with covid, but i want to Em Fafa size for those children under the age of 12, the best thing is to, number one, vaccinate all the adults around them and number two, use masks. Facemasks and vaccination are the key to keeping our children safe. Reporter meanwhile, federal Health Officials are watching a new strain of covid. The w. H. O. Says the Mu Variant carries mutations that could make it somewhat resistant to vaccines as well as treatments like monoclonal antibodies, but Health Officials say it isnt yet a serious threat. Dr. Tyson bow, director of the University Of Virginia with us now. He is an Associate Professor of infectious decides in critical care medicine. Thank you for being with us. Let me first cask you about the Mu Variant. How potent is it believed to be and how do you see the balance of treatment and all of these variants that are most likely on Deck And Beyond . First, thank you for having me on the show to discuss this. This is a very important topic because whenever a new variant comes up we have to pay attention to it. So the Mu Variant was first discovered in Colombia January of this year and its the fifth variant of concern that the w. H. O. Is investigating. Its been confirmed in 39 countries. Including here in the united states. Now, it does have a consolation of mutations that could suggest it could be resistant or evade the new responses either induced by a vaccine or by natural infection. But its important to emphasize that this is laboratory data. Its actually hard to predict how a variant is going to behave in the community based on its mutation. So we have to gather more clinical data and monitor it. But the larger point here is that we have a significant portion of the worldwide population thats still unvaccinated. And if we dont control the spread of virus, we are going to keep having variants that Pop Up that we have to pay attention to that could set us back to square one. In colombia their Vaccination Rate was a little over a fourth of the their population. So these are environments where were ripe to have more variants. So we have to get a move on for vaccinating the global community so we can finally put future variants, you know, decrease that risk that well have more. Sure. So when it comes to boosters, people in israel apparently are getting Booster Shots after five months. The u. S. Guidance is it should be eight. Is there a benefit for a detriment to getting your booster too soon . Well, there are a lot of questions within that because the israeli population is focusing on 60 and up and those that are immunocompromised. France and germany are doing that as well, focusing on those who are higher risk. There is no Magic Number really when it comes to when to consider boosters. Its a spectrum where the protection for immunity wanes. The other thing, with the cdc and other officials, they are talking about this Vaccine Effectiveness in symptomatic covid19 which wanes over time, but protection from severe covid19, so ending up in the hospital on oxygen, in the icu, protection against that from the vaccines are still very good and they have so i think the timeline is less important than figuring out who this is appropriate for and how to find the balance between protecting ourselves and making sure that we are vaccinating the global population. I think the people who received the Pfizer Vaccine feel fairly confident that they are going to get a booster just based on the information thats coming out that, you know, the White House made that may be the only booster they can get behind at the moment based on the clinical trials and what they are finding. They are waiting for moderna. But what about the Johnson Johnson vaccine . A lot of people got that vaccine and now they are wondering where they sit in this booster world. Sure. 14 Million people received the Johnson Johnson vaccine as well. Those people have a lot of questions. Now, this was one of the unfortunate things about the white House Announcement because at the time that announcement was out the Moderna Trial data on boosters was not available and the Johnson Johnson data on boosters were not available either. Now, its important to remember again that Vaccine Protection against severe covid19 is still very good. So even for Johnson Johnson and moderna its very, very good. So take a step back and lets put it in the global context that symptomatic covid19 we certainly would prefer not to have it. I dont want to be symptomatic either P But Protection from severe hospitalization, overwhelming hospitals, its still very, very good. The fda is going to do their job. They will review the data from moderna and Johnson Johnson. I think we will have a timeline out soon. But this is the problem with announcing policy ahead of the science. We have to make sure that we at least get the data in and start reviewing it before we start setting expectations. What happens is that you create a red marker around the date of September 20th and it creates a lot of anxiety. These vaccines are already out there readily available. So it can create a lot of confusion. For instance, the state of West Virginia actually approached the federal government and asked if the deadline passes, can we start using these vaccines for boosters off label. They were actually told they cant do that. It creates a lot of confusion, unfortunately. The main message is these vaccines are very safe when it comes to protection from severe covid19 and that protection does persist. All right. Dr. Bell, your expertise is so appreciated. Thank you. Thank you. And this morning at 10 00 Join Fareed for a look at the postcovid19 world. How will we learn and work after the pandemic . Fareed zakaria special today at 10 00 right here.

Moderate democrat Joe Manchin drawing the ire within his own party facing attacks from other democrats after signaling he may upend some of President Bidens top legislative priorities. The 1 TrillionInfrastructure Bill and the 3. 5 trillion Reconciliation Bill. In a tweet, Senator Bernie Sanders warns the Infrastructure Bill will not pass the house if the senate doesnt approve the Reconciliation Bill. Sanders not the only progressive responding to the West Virginia senator, calling for a, quote, strategic pause in the Reconciliation Bill. Manchin arguing in the Wall Street Journal that a pause is needed to, quote, assess the trajectory of the Covid19 Pandemic and the pace of inflation which has accelerated this year. The senator making clear he is looking to significantly reduce the size of any bill. Lets discuss further with cnn political Analyst Alex burns. He is also a national political correspondent for the New York times. Good morning. We appreciate you sharing your Expertise And Reporting with us. Complicating all of this is the deadline that House Speaker Nancy pelosi promised that shed put this Infrastructure Bill on the floor by The End of the month. That is an extraordinarily important complication in this process. To turn around a Reconciliation Package in a month, which is basically the Timeline Pelosi promised moderates in the house, would be a Breakneck Pace under any circumstances. Even if you already had the bones of a Compromise Agreement already in place. They do not have that yet, as you were just explaining. Joe Manchin And Other Moderates in the senate are holding out for a smaller, slimmer, more targeted bill. And its important to remember here, Bernie Sanders and other progressives would like to project the idea that they have 48 or 49 votes for a 3. 5 trillion Reconciliation Bill and the problem is Joe Manchin or Joe Manchin and kyrsten sinema, the arizona senator, they dont have the votes now. There is a larger constituency of the senate of centrists not as vocal as Joe Manchin. But there are so many interlocking pieces here. Where Bernie Sanders is absolutely right is if they cant get a sufficiently large Reconciliation Bill, they will struggle to get that Infrastructure Package out of the house. Lets get into the details just a touch because part of the debate between Joe Manchin and sanders has to do with how much money is allocated towards combatting Climate Change and other issues. Alexandria ocasiocortez refrgs referring to manchin as one cozy with the fossil fuel industry. Is there a way to split the difference between them . There may well be. Part of the difficulty that democrats have in parsing Joe Manchin generally, the people i talk ton The Hill and in the biden administration feel like the challenge with him is he is not always necessarily looking for a specific Line Item Concession on policy as much as he just wants to feel like bill has moved a little bit closer to the center. And the question for progressives and for senate leaders and for the White House is can they make concessions that give manchin that feeling that, you know what . This is a more mainstream down the middle kind of piece of legislation without giving away the goods on stuff that the parties further left members really care about. You are absolutely right to identify climate as a crucial, crucial piece of that. I think its absolutely true that Joe Manchin is close to the fossil fuel industry, he represents virginia the Beating Heart of the Coal Industry in america when it was a more robust part of the american economy. I think there are pieces on Climate Change that are tougher to get past manchin. But he has indicated significant openness to raising taxes and spending big. The question is how big. Yeah, i think the counterpoint from manchin is would you rather have him, a moderate democrat, or a republican senator in 100 . Right. 100 . Its one of the things that democrats run into trouble on when you see this venom directed at Joe Manchin from the left where if you didnt have Joe Manchin, you would have a republican and you wouldnt be able to start this conversation. Right, right. So lets pivot quickly to the January 6th investigation. The congressional select committee in charge is pushing back on this claim from some republicans that the Justice Department cleared former President Trump of any role in it. A claim that we have seen echoed by House Republican LeaderKevin Mccarthy. Someone who himself said shortly after January 6th that Donald Trump does bear responsibility for what happened that day. Whats Mccarthys Strategy here . You know, he did say that. That feels like longer ago than i think it was 7 1 2 months that Kevin Mccarthy said that the former president bore some responsibility. Look, he is trying to stay on the right side of the republican conference in the house, which is very conservative and very, very protrump. I dont think there is a lot more complexity to his strategy than that. I think the gradations of that strategy may change week to week, but the through line to it, the consistency is he simply is not willing to risk the ire of that faction in the house. And this notion that the Justice Department cleared President Trump of any wrongdoing, we have heard this so many times since Donald Trump came into public life, that the absence of criminal charges is equivalent to total exoneration. We know thats simply not how the criminal Justice System works. Important to point out because even though there may not be evidence of a conce concentrated effort, a coordinated effort to carry out an insurrection, it doesnt mean that trump bears no responsibility for stirring up that crowd and saying he is going to walk down Constitution Avenue to undo the will of voters which i didnt do either way. Alex burns, we have to leave the conversation there. Thank you so much, as always. Thanks a lot. So he was fresh out of Flight School when the except 11 Terror Attacks happened.

The 20th Anniversary of the 9 11Terror Attacks lands on saturday, and President Biden and the first Lady Plan to visit all three sites where the planes hit, New York, shanksville, pennsylvania, and the pentagon. In total, 2,977 lives were lost. The white House Hasnt announced whether President Biden will speak. Former President Obama and former first Lady Michelle Obama will attend the Remembrance Ceremony in New York and former president george w. Bush will deliver key remarks in shanksville. For 16 seventh graders, September 11th, 2001, felt like a regular day other than the fact that the president of the united states was about to visit their classroom. Tonight Cnn Anchor and Correspondent Victor Blackwell hosts a cnn special report. The Front Row to history. He revisits that day through the lens ever the students and their teacher and White House aides who were in that sarasota, florida, classroom with President Wonder Woman 1984 Whe George w. Bush when he got word that the second Plane Hit the world trade center. Here is a preview. What does it feel like to be back in this room . Although its different, whats it feel like . I started here in 1993. This is my starting school. This is my home. Read, read, read, read, read. The teachers were here Day And Night reading, teaching, teaching, reading, but they did the Hard Work and they made the gains and thats why President Bush was here to congratulate them. Reporter the principal of this school asked you to greet the president. I knew i didnt have to do anything but to say hello, shake a few hands. So i was pretty much calm at that point in time. Reporter when did things change that morning on the way in . We were getting very close to the elementary School And Everyones pagers started buzzing, buzzing, buzzing. We get these notes from the white House Situation Room that a plane has crashed into the world trade center. Motorcade arrived. The motorcade turned into emma e. Booker. What happened once the car stopped and the president stepped out . I have never seen people jump out of a motorcade all Up And Down The Line from all the cars so quickly. And it was the president s senior aides running to tell the president what had happened. Good morning. Reporter did you know by the time that he came in what had happened in New York . No, we did not. The only thing we knew it was something important and something was happening. Cnn anchor Victor Blackwell with us now. Was it hard to get up this morning, victor . I know. Good morning. I feel like the dos equis guy. I dont often wake up before so, listen, this is such an interesting Perspective And One that dont think i have heard of before now. Did anything surprise you when you spent time with these adults who were the kids in that classroom . Yeah, i mean, this is the first time that you are going to see this story told this way with them together, especially on the 20th. Yeah, there were lots of surprises, starting with what was a reluctance on the part of most of the students and certainly the teacher, mrs. Daniels, to talk about it because, as i described before, they feel a degree of guilt. There is a bit of, as i said, reluctance because they know as they have gotten older how much the others have lost, the people who are intimately connected to that day. Most people have a story of loss, of grief, and they dont have that. So they dont want the notoriety, but they know this is, as one student called it, a duty to tell the story. I was also surprised by how the teacher, mrs. Daniels, in the moment decided to soothe and comfort her babies, as she called them. She sang to them and left the explanation, most of the day, to their parents for them to handle. And, victor, im curious about what led you to telling this story. I think 9 11 was one of those moments all remember where we were. I am curious about where you were and how bringing this story to light took you back to that day. I was in a classroom, too. I was a junior at Howard University on that morning. I had a 9 10 class at the communications school, and i had come in already and i was the the first Plane Hit and the second Plane Hit while we were watching it there as well. This documentary is kind of the answer to the where were you on 9 11. Everybody remembers. And it kind of put me in the mind of the people who were there on that day, the ones we see in the textbooks, the ones we have seen over the last 20 years, which angles of the story have we not heard . And those students sitting there facing the president as Andy Card whispered those 11 words into his ear, a second plane has hit the second tower, america is under attack. Thats what we learned. Yeah, i cant wait to hear what they say about, you know, what they might have noticed because you saw the immediate change on the president s face. And what how, you know, how kids absorb that. Victor blackwell, good to see you. Likewise. Great to see you. A great piece. Such great Piece U you go have a good day now. Thank you. Come back anytime you want. Yeah.
