The other would likely follow soon thereafter. Im Amara Walker in atlanta in for pamela brown. You are in the cnn newsroom. One full week after Hurricane Ida slammed louisiana and the Death Toll is still climbing. The details are horrifying. In louisiana, more than 600,000 homes and businesses are still without power. And the merciless heat proved fatal for an elderly man in new orleans. It could take several more weeks to restore power to everyone in the state. In New York, Heroism And Heartbreak from idas deadly visit there. This is a new York Police officer wading into Chest Deep Waters wednesday to investigate reports of people inside the flooded basement of a home with stuffed animals and toys bobbing in the filthy, murky water. The officers were blocked by locked doors and live electricity. Firefighters brought in specialized equipment and discovered the bodies of three people, all of whom had drowned. Lets begin with Polo Sandoval in New York. Video released toDay By the nypd of an extraordinary rescue, walk us through what we see there. Reporter important to point out that this video basically shows the scene where three people died on wednesday during the height of the storm. Were going to get more into those details in just a second, but thats important context. But it also gives you an idea of the sense of urgency that so many first responders throughout the city of New York were working with to try to rescue as many people as they could. Sadly, though, in this case, these were unsuccessful attempts. Youre seeing nypd officers working desperately to try to get into one of these Basement Apartments to try to rescue folks after several reports there were individuals trapped in there. There were multiple concerns like locked doors, rising waters, live wires that forced authorities to scale back. It wasnt until they pumped the water out of this space that they were able to send divers in. Thats when they recovered the bodies of three people, a 2yearold Toddler and his parents. That actually happened not far from where i am right now in this particular neighborhood in queens. I can tell you those folks who ive talked to are well aware there are neighbors that werent as lucky as they were. However, what theyre dealing with now is the cleanup process. A lot of folks have spent all weekend here just clearing out their basements. Many folks working with fixed incomes here so they dont have the resources to replace basic household items. Theyre hoping the federal government will step in and help. They heard the new York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an dim Disaster Declaration that is calling on the biden administration to expedite financial assistance to not just local governments but to New Yorkers. A local said she needs that financial help. Came by here today because i thought i might be able to get assistance. My hot Water Heater is shot. You cant get a plumber. My boiler also gone. All weve been told by everyone thats here today is call 311 and file a complaint, which i did and was closed out. I dont know what to do. We need financial assistance to get back on our feet. Reporter the City Official told me they are certainly doing everything they can. They set up these Storm Service centers to provide help to connect with nonprofits for food and possibly temporary housing. So many people impacted by ida who need help getting on their feet. Polo sandoval, thank you so much. Lets head to kennar, louisiana, just outside new orleans. Nadia romero, youve been there on the ground. Its been a week of no electricity, no airconditioning, spoiled food. Its extremely hot. What else is going on . Reporter all of those things have compounded now, because people are fed up. Theyre seeing their neighbors or Family Members and friends getting their electricity back on. For some neighborhoods like this one in kennar, theyre expected to get power back on wednesday. This Power Pole that came down during the storm, its going to take a lot of work to get that back up. But its not the only one in this neighborhood. You can see one, two, three more poles that are on the ground just littered across this neighborhood, the Power Poles, Pa Power lines trapping people in their homes. The people on the left side of your Screen Havent been able Toto L leave their house since the storm. The people on the right side have. But they have to drive on the front lawns of their neighbors houses just to get in and out. Listen to what one woman said she wishes the Power Company would do. Even though i realize its overwhelming, they need to allow these neighbors to move in and out more easily. Get somebody to move the debris out of the street, that will improve it overnight. Reporter the residents tell me theyre not asking for much. They need water, they need food, they want their electricity back on. And they have to start repairing their homes. Many of them have damaged roofs. Blue tarps decorate almost every home in this neighborhood because of the damage done during the storm. This neighborhood along with the Power Lines was littered with Roof Shingles as well. Incredible stuff there. Thank you so much for your reporting in louisiana. There is growing concern for americans still waiting to get out of afghanistan. White House Chief of staff Ron Klain says the biden administration thinks around 100 are still there and promises to find ways to get them all out. The top republican on the house foreign Affairs Committee claims there are american citizens and afghan allies who are being held at the airport against their will. Cnns susan malveaux, what else do we know . It was really strong language that got attention today. This is Michael Mccall saying, yes, there are american citizens trapped at the Kabul Airport that they are trying to get out. He said it was from information from classified briefings that he was getting and he described it as almost a realtime hostagetype situation. Take a listen. We have six airplanes at the airport, six airplanes with american citizens on them as i speak also with these interpreters and the taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. The state has cleared these flights and the taliban will not let them leave the airport. Reporter it is because of the specific language here, the nature of this language and the picture he is painting, cnn reached out to several government entities and agencies for clarification or even confirmation. The State Department, a spokesperson saying they dont have the information to confirm this specific case. Heres the statement they put out today, saying we understand the concern many people are feeling as we try to facilitate further charter and other passengers out of afghanistan. However, we do not have personnel on the ground. We do not control the Air Space whether over afghanistan or elsewhere in the region. Given these constraints, we also do not have a reliable meanings to confirm the basic details of charter flights, including who may be organizing them. Cnn has spoken to one of the many nonprofit groups out there trying to extract and get american citizens out of afghanistan. They say that the taliban is, in fact, holding some of these american citizens outside of the airport, preventing them from getting on these planes. The State Department spokesperson saying they will hold the taliban accountable to the Commitment Theyve made that they will allow Miles Pamerican freely leave the country. It is uncertain on the ground. Reminders of the new reality for afghans. The taliban are still battling pockets of resistance with heavy fighting reported today in one holdout provinceprovince. But theyre moving ahead with their rule. The taliban Ministry Of Education approving new rules for afghan universities that includes separating male and female students. Yet, still no word on who is actually in charge. Nic robertson is in islamabad, pakistan with more. Reporter the taliban said the government would be inclusive, include nontaliban members. The isi went To Kabul and met with the taliban. Pak Pak Pakistani sources saying the Supreme Leader is going to remain as the top leader of the taliban. Theres a Dispute Over who could be defense minuminister. What they have said is that the taliban will not put anyone in that government who is under u. N. Sanctions for connection to terrorism. This is a very slow process. I think everyone expected it to happen much sooner. The indications are that whomever this Nontaliban Person is is likely to be a relatively low Profile Position and dont expect any women to be in that government in significant senior positions. Now, women have been protesting on the streets of kabul, third protest saturday and elsewhere in the country as well. That small protest by a small group of Women In Kabul came to blows when the taliban tried to break it up. Theyre trying to get to the president ial palace. One of the women got bloodied. The women said the taliban were using Tear Gas and tasers on them to break up the protest. The taliban also announcing strict Dress Codes for women in higher education, bl and Women E separated from men. The taliban really going forward with their strict interpretation of sharia law.

The Delta Variant has a tight grip on the united states right now. Covid cases are still rising across more than half of the country. Hospitals everywhere are struggling with covid patients, the vast majority unvaccinated taking up beds. All of this despite the fact a solution is widely available now, vaccines, three types of them in the u. S. , all proven to be safe and effective. But some americans are defying logic and turning to unproven treatments like ivermectin. That is used by veterinarians to deworm large animals. The Red Flag should be the picture of the Horse And Livestock you see right there. A version can also be prescribed to humans, but not for covid. Yet, look at this. Data shows 459 calls to 55 Poison Control centers across thei iu. S. Just last month up 2 from july. You can only shake your head. Joining me is republican congressman larry bushon. He is part of the gop Doctors Caucus urging people to get the vaccine. Here you are in a psa that was recently released doing just that. Appreciate you joining us on this holiday weekend. Look, vaccines effectively protect us from covid. The fda has fully approved one of them. There are also authorized treatments for covid. Help us understand why are some people turning to a drug thats not proven in any way to treat coronavirus . Let me first say that people should not be taking nonfda approved medications that are off label, so to speak, for anything, including covid19. Its very dangerous. There are Side Effects. As you pointed out, this medication is primarily used in the veterinary space, not in humans. So i would guard against using it at all. I think people get a lot of misinformation mostly from the internet. I have discouraged people from taking advice from the internet. Follow what the scientists are saying and what your physician is saying. But people sometimes follow the wrong recommendations, primarily from misinformation from the internet. Is it really just the internet, congressman . First off, we were mentioning you are a physician by trade, to be specific a cardio thoracic surgeon. Yeah. A lot of misinformation is coming from politicians, including your fellow republicans and nondoctors like senator Ron Johnson whos been promoting ivermectin to treat covid, also Tucker Carlson and fox hosts. In fact, calls to Poison Control centers have increased by three times, according to the cdc. What do you say to your colleagues . Again, i would say misinformation is misinformation no matter who is saying it. I think both journalists, politicians and others should not be promoting products that are not approved by the fda and are discouraged against being used by the cdc. Its dangerous and people shouldnt do it. I agree with you that any type of misinformation, whether from politicians, journalists, from the internet, people shouldnt Pay Attention to those things. Talk to your doctor. The best way to protect yourself against covid is to get vaccinated. In the last month three conservative Radio Hosts who at some point used their platform to deny the virus or discourage the vaccine all together, they all died from the virus. Here are their photos. Do you ever point to these cases to push people to get vaccinated . Yes, i do. I point to cases that happened where people get misinformation or for whatever reason decide not to get vaccinated. I would say the vast majority of people like that, its kind of an antigovernment approach that they take to the extreme where people just wont believe the fda or the cdc. You know, theres been a lot of political haggling too. Responsibility lies on a lot of the political people on both sides of the aisle over the last year and a half. So i think people primarily that i talk to, its because they just dont have trust in the fda, believe it or not, and specifically the cdc. Thats the problem. Its more of an antigovernment, you cant tell me what to do approach. But in this case, it could be deadly and you should listen to the scientists, talk to your doctor and get vaccinated. How much responsibility do you think the republican party has for villainizing scientists . There is culpability to go all around. I think political people last year, particularly during the president Ial Kcampaign politicized this. As a physician, i dont politicize it. You should follow the science, follow the recommendations under both political parties. You say both political parties politicized this or more so the gop . You have to look at past statements that have been made by politicians on both sides of the aisle. You know, last year before the election it was Donald Trump was pressuring the fda to approve an ineffective vaccine. Since that time, you know, on the other side of the aisle people are saying, well, the biden administration has forced the fda to approve a vaccine that hasnt been proven to work. Both of those are not true. Both of those statements are not true. I think Theres Culpability to go around. In my area, primarily a republican area, libertarian leaning people dont have a lot of trust in the government. I talk about medical facts. Get vaccinated. Its your best chance. Of course the vaccines arent 100 . But if you look at the data, almost 100 people on ventilators Are Unvaccinated and 95 of people in the icu Are Unvaccinated. So get vaccinated, talk to your doctor. Thank you so much for your time. Crises on multiple fronts. Theyve got president biden seeing lower Approval Ratings. Could they keep falling. Maria Car Dough that and Scott Jennings join me next.

Tonight, new polling shows the chaos in afghanistan and a surge in Covid Cases are taking a toll on the biden president s his Approval Rating is now down to 44 . His standing with independents dropped nine points in the past two months to 36 . For perspective, that is virtually the same as president trumps approval among independents at the end of this term. Joining me is democratic Strategist Maria Cardona and former Special Assistant to president george w. Bush Scott Jennings. Welcome to you both. Happy holiday weekend. Maria, we were just mentioning bidens Approval Ratings are sliding. A poll found 41 of the adults including 82 of republicans strongly disapprove of the Job Biden is doing. Do you think these numbers should be concerning for biden and the democrats . Well, look, they certainly arent numbers the administration loves. Part of being a good leader is not focusing on the shortterm snapshots, which is as you know well these polls are, but focusing on what is going to do well for the electorate and for the administration in terms of longterm trends. Thats why you see this President Focus every single time he gets a chance on vaccinations, on urging americans to get vaccinated, on talking about the Delta Variant, on making sure that americans understand how focused he is on the economy. I think issues, for example, moving forward where we know that the discussion is going to be on infrastructure and reconciliation, the last hurricane that we had, the wildfires that we had, those are great arguments for how badly we need the infrastructure bill. The less than great numbers on employment and the economy that just happened are great arguments for how badly we need transformational policies for the Reconciliation Bill that will help middle income and working families in this country. I think moving forward, what this White House is going to do and what they are doing is focus on the issues they know americans are going to care about. Lets remember its more than a year and two months until the midterm elections and that is a Gazillion Lifetimes in politics. This has to be concerning for democrats. Why do you think biden is becoming such a polarizing figure, according to the polls . I want to Pick Up on what maria said there about lets focus on what they ran on. What Joe Biden ran on was being a moderate consensus builder, he ran on being honest and he ran on being the candidate that had better judgment. All of these things have been imploded by the afghanistan debacle and the shame following those decisions. The economy is sputtering a bit. We have small businesses out there that cant find people to come to work and theyre facing down the specter of a massive Tax Increase that could come if this Reconciliation Bill passes. Joe biden promised hed be straight and honest with the american people. Time and again i think theyre starting to see hes more politician than straight talking joe, which means that thing he ran on where he was able to compare himself favorably to trump has been punctured. The reality right now is the american people simply dont like it. Theres a long time between now and the next election. If i were a democratic strategist, id be very concerned. History would tell you republicans should do well. It could be a huge blowout in the house if biden remains underwater next november. Maria, i want to put up a tweet from dr. Jerome adams. He writes of bidens and response saying cases are up, hospitals full, deaths rising, testing inadequate. How long is its the other Guys Fault going to remain an acceptable answer . Ill tell you how long. As long as republican governors like Greg Abbott and Ron Desantis are focused on putting in place policies that hurt children, that actually put peoples lives in danger. Those policies make them have blood on their hands, because we know what works. Masking works, vaccinations work. These governors are focused on doing exactly the opposite. You have to question to the doctor that was on right before this about politicizing the whole coronavirus, delta va variant, vaccinations. The republican party has been focused on disinformation that has put peoples lives in danger. Americans understand that. One of the things i love about Joe Biden and i think americans do too, scott talked about competence and leadership. Yes, he does have all of those things. Have we ever heard Donald Trump Stand Up to the american people and say the buck stops with me, i take responsibility for this decision . That is what Joe Biden has said time and again about every single decision that he has made. He will live and die by that, no question about that, when the Ballot Box comes around for both the democrats and for him, but theres plenty of time for him to continue to make sure americans get vaccinated no matter what state they are in, making sure the economy grows for all of us, not just the 1 , which is what happened under Donald Trump, and making sure he is focused on the Economy And Everything that he ran on, yes, everything that he ran on, scott. Again, this is a snapshot in time. What americans will remember is what he did to make sure everyone got vaccinated, the fact that he kept his promise to get us out of the 20year war when the three other president s before him could not do that, including Donald Trump, and the fact he is continuing to focus on the economy. Scott, your reaction to what marias been saying . Isnt it disingenuous to be pointing the finger at an administration that is promoting Va Vaccines when this has been a pandemic of the unvaccinated . Governor desantis in florida has been doing the opposite of promoting vaccinations . Its simply not true. Hes promoting other treatments like monoclonal antibodies. Masking number two, it is absolutely vital that people get vaccinated. Ill be honest. Im a little surprised vaccination rates are as high as they are. I was dubious of how this vaccine was going to go over. Frankly i looked at other vaccines we take. Flu shot gets a low dosage of mor americans every year. Im a little surprised weve gotten as high as we have. Its still not high enough. The Bottom Line here is Joe Biden owns this presidency, he owns everything that happens. You cant continue to say the buck stops with me, but its all Donald Trumps fault. These things are not compatible. When youre the president , you own the results. Its how Donald Trump lost the election. Covid was raging and he ended up losing the election. Joe biden is going to have to own the results of covid, the economy and the Fallout And Shame of his afghanistan decisions. The buck stops with Donald Trump sorry, Joe Biden and he can blame Donald Trump all he wants, but thats not going to save him in two or four years. Ron desantis the governor of florida is very pro vaccine, but it would be hard to tell. Hes been so outspoken about masks, we havent heard much about him speaking on vaccines.

Journalist Alexandra Tempest joining me now to discuss this. So youre working on a book about Climate Migration. In your oped for the New York times you say this, we are now at the dawn of americas great Climate Migration era. For now it is piecemeal and moves are often temporary, but permanent relocations by individuals and eventually whole communities are increasingly becoming unavoidable. As you watch all these disasters play out this week, what were you thinking . How did it make you feel . Well, i think it was obviously devastating and it really pointed for me, it pointed to the need for more public awareness around this concept of moving in response to climate dangers. You know, a new Washington Post Analysis just found that nearly onethird of americans live in a County Hit by a Weather Disaster this summer alone. So your viewers might be used to seeing stories around people fleeing north from Central America or across the mediterranean due to Climate Change impacts, but what the research tells us is that actually most climatedriven migration occurs within national borders. As weve seen these last couple of weeks with these overlapping disasters. So this is why americas great Climate Migration is literally going to reshape this country. Despite this, we dont always consider It Migration or perceive people moving around there their own countries as migrants and there really is no comprehensive effort to help plan and prepare for it. Thats a concern, right . Just to drill down, which communities are you talking about and where are they moving or aiming to move . Sure. Its all over the country. I mean, some well known examples are in louisiana and alaska, places on coastlines that are very vulnerable. But there are communities from the carolinas to california that are considering, you know, retreat from coastlines that are trying to plan or coming up with solutions trying to plan for buying people out of their homes where they live so they can move elsewhere or trying to come up with a way they can secure funding for relocation. So its happening all over and not just in coastal areas. Were talking about river towns. Were talking about places that live on the wild land urban interface like right up against forestland where there are fires and a lot of new housing is built in these areas. Its happening all over. You mentioned this which is concerning, you say were not preparing for this adequately, especially the federal government. This is why you have communities and organizations and nonprofits and local agencies filling in the gap. What is being done . What needs to be done . Right. Well, right now the best we have to offer people who lose their home due to Climate Change are what s called a Home Buyout. These are after a hurricane or a flood, states or local agencies can take federal money, usually from fema or hud, and buyout homeowners so they can use that money to move elsewhere. But theres no practices or standards for Home Buyout programs. Theres no guidance to make sure people end up in places that are safer. It often is tied to spending on Home Buyouts is often tied to specific disasters. Its so important to be proactive than reactive in such an emotional and chaotic moment. Were out of time. Thank you so much. Thank you. Well, there is a new online blitz to rewrite the Origin Story of the coronavirus. Wait until you hear whos behind it. Well be right back.

China has mobilized its vast resources to peddle an outlandish Conspiracy Theory that blames the u. S. Military for the covid pandemic. Reporter the investigations into the covid19 origins is perhaps one of the most sensitive issues in china. And that sparked a range of creative and relentless propaganda pushing from china to make people believe it originate anywhere from but here, especially pointing fingers at the u. S. A constant barrage of digital titles in car tunes, tv reports, documentaries, even a Rap Song . All of It Part of an aggressive chinese Propaganda Campaign aimed to sow doubt when it come to the origins of covid19. Cnn did an investigation it reveals this. Some of the stories appearing authentic and convincing like the work of Wilson Edwards whose online profile suggests hes a biologist from switzerland. On july 24th, edwards appeared to post a lengthy article slamming the World Health Organization for its covid investigation. Claiming the w. H. O. Advisory group succumbed to a political tool. A strikingly similar Sent Pimt has been shared repeatedly by chinese officials. Look a bit closer and youll find this was Wilson Edwards first Facebook Post and he only has three friends. Still his article got Pick Up by Voices Of South Pacific and shared many times. We found many posting it, apparent trolls pushing the agenda. A Deerm Look finds the publication is run by china news service. A state controlled news agency. Not surprisingly, his pro China Stance got plenty of Play Online in other State Media outlets. That was until neutral Swiss Embassy In Beijing sent out this tweet on august 10th. Looking for Wilson Edwards. Hoping to find this biologist. The embassy later concluded, he doesnt exist. If you exist, we would like to meet you. His Facebook Account likely to be fake and so, too, that article. Suddenly State Media purged all references to Wilson Edwards. Thats just one evidence of the push, by deflecting blame for the worldwide pandemic and then staying silent in the early days as it Sfled China before it alerted World Health officials. Other efforts include rehashing old conspiracy theories, primarily that it started in a lab. No, not this lab. This one. Fort dietrich in the united states. Hope of the biological laboratory. Theres no evidence it originated here, that does not stop the chinese from trying to push their version of the lab leak theory. The u. S. Should invite w. H. O. Experts to investigate detrich. One Conspiracy Article picked up by State Media on July 30th alleged the virus leaked from there to europe. It was viewed nearly 25 Million times on chinese site. The propaganda Fueled Push might be working, at least in china. The State Media Tabloid claimed more than 25 Million people signed an online petition to vest the u. S. Military. And look at the spike in detrick searches. After the surge in searches when it was in wuhan in january this year, a Second Spike In July after beijing rejected the w. H. O. Phase two study and began turning out more propaganda which has since steadily flooded the Air Waves and cyberspace. Even if president bidens 90day review on the origins proved inconclusive, beijing once again openly urged the w. H. O. To investigate the u. S. It seems to have only fueled the fiery war of words on who to blame for more than 4 pay 5 Million deaths. Thank you.
