Im sara marie and washington whitfield with this breaking news, was millions in the southeastern part of the state are under Flood Watches after five Straight Days of heavy rain. Entire neighborhoods are inundated with water more than a third of texas counties had been declared Disaster Areas and Texas Governor greg abbott could expand it to include more counties as the flooding spreads, the highwater rescues have searched as well so far in Harris County, which includes houston, more than 200 people have been rescued from homes and vehicles, and more than 150 pets have been pulled from the floodwaters in north houston. An officer was able to save a man and three dogs from rising water using a jet ski. Watch this im trying to get them out of the water. He is trying to make it black dog over there are yes dogs circle all right its like Attention Judge all right. Lets catch your breath a little okay. You can have a seat up here im officer scott norton, our pretty incredible. I mean, we have Team Coverage now from cnn correspondent rosa flores and cnn meteorologist chad myers. Rosa, lets begin with you there in texas youre on the ground and Harris County where Evacuation Orders are still in place. What have you been seeing . Well, fred water has swallowed roads. It has inundated communities and created very emotional, intense moments where people who had to be rescued. Let me set the scene for you. Im standing it probably in less than a foot of water on a street that leads to a Community Behind me. You can see a restaurant back there. There is a community that people call a home. This street is not passable at the moment. This is part of the mandatory evacuation zone, and you can see that the water levels are still very high. We cant get back there in a car. So what we did is we went on a ride along with the Harris County sheriffs office. We have video of this. Take a look and youll see we soft floating debris we literally went over fences because the water is way deeper back there and also over mailboxes, we saw stop signs at eye level. Now the team that we were widths, it says that they started rescuing people last wednesday and theyve rescued a close to 100 hundred people. They also rescued their pads. We made several stops. They tell me that yesterday there were going door to door asking people to evacuate some people decided to evacuate, others did not want to. And they said that they also evacuated their pads and they explained how difficult it is his when individuals refuse to be evacuated, refused to be rescued when the conditions are lifethreatening, take a listen weve been evacuating people since last wednesday, and all day yesterday in this area here and there are still some people that they dont want to leave for whatever reasons we do have mandatory evacuations as you can see, its extremely flooded here. And unfortunately, were getting more rain and as you take a live look, this is giving people hope the water levels have receded. You can see the debris line on this fence however officials here still saying that people should evacuate this area for obvious reasons because the water is very high now, fred, just to put this under perspective, Harris County is one of the largest counties in this country and according to the latest estimates, only several hundred homes are impacted. And officials are still urging people to evacuate if they are in these mandatory evacuation zones because ive got to tell you theyre still people back there who refuse to evacuate. Now, when i see you next hour, ill let you know why official say that even though its not raining white now, they are still worried about the water levels rising, bred back, right. All right. Rosa flores, well check back with you, chad myers and the Weather Center so how much more rain should they expect . Its done no, Array1 Hit The Hammer really over. Okay. But the waters could crest but it rained all morning long, two to three more inches on top of that, some spots for 24 inches of rainfall came down in the past ten days and to give you an idea in west texas there have been ten Straight Days of tornadoes on the ground. This has been a violent couple of weeks here, weekandahalf, four parts of texas gets all the Flood Watches, flood warnings. The rivers will still rise the closer you get to the gulf of mexico, we still have water in the system, which means that the water is still going to be going up until it dumps in to the gulf of mexico. So farther up along the line, yes. The water is going down farther down the river. The waters could still be going up and more rainfall is expected later on this afternoon into louisiana. This is now moved away, but eight places in rivers are in major flood stage. Any different rivers are in major flood stage, but here it goes. The best news i can show you is that theres not reign over houston, theres not rein really over texas in by tomorrow morning. There wont even be rein in arkansas. Its going to be moving all the way toward georgia. There will still be the chance of a tornado or two today, which would make 11 days in a row with tornadoes on the ground. So far the past ten days, fred 224 huge number on the ground confirmed not just leno warnings or something that no chasers have been out there risking their lives trying. Many of them have been pretty significant. Yes. Theres been real damage all right. Chad myers, well check back with you. Thank you so much. I guess some good route and good news though that no more rain in the forecast, but you gotta get rid of all that water. Im its still a big problem. All right. Thanks so much, chad. All right. New today police are cracking down on a large campus protests. The university of Southern California says police cleared a propalestinian encampment early this morning there. The campus remains closed as the school announced a family graduation celebration. After canceling the main ceremony, cnns Camila Bernal is on the campus there at usc, can be left out what happened when police moved in . Hey, fred, so police moved in and they were able to clear that encampment. And whats interesting here is that the university is saying not a Single Person was arrested. They call this a Successful Operation and it is completely different from what we saw about two weeks ago on april 24th, when authorities people to disperse or face arrest at that point, you saw the tense situation. It was chaotic, it was violent. There were many confrontations and authorities then said that this was essentially not the school that this was just extreme violence. What we saw on april 24 yesterday, though it was a very, very different scene. Take a listen to how one student described it seemed like the people and they cant meant followed lapd is orders they evacuated through the north side of campus, through the tuesday outside some of them chanting, youre playing drums and as they went, some bringing their personal belongings so as you heard these protesters were still passionate, they were still chanting, they were still trying to express what theyre trying to get through this encampment, but they listened, they dispersed when authorities said to leave the area. Thats obviously again, in comparison to april 24th, officials here in this schools say that 93 people were arrested on the 24th and they say out of those 93, 51, were students, three were faculty, three were staffed. So as you can see with those numbers, there were a lot of people that were arrested that were not associated with the school, the people that are associated with the school, the school announced saying that theyre starting a disciplinary process to figure out exactly what the punishment could look like for the people that were arrested on the 24th. Theyre also saying that they violated the School Policy and they violated the law. And we just heard from the university moments ago, theyre saying that the university is open for students but that no one is allowed to bring any Camping Material into the school. Fred. All right. And camila, the main Commencement Ceremonies as still been canceled. Right. But there will be a smaller scale one for the family explain what thats going to be like yes. So they announced this Family Celebration on may 9 and they said theres going to be drones and fireworks and a marching band, but it will not be that main commencement, that huge Commencement Ceremony that normally happens here at the school. And what the university is saying is that the individual schools will hold or give out the diplomas and it will be smaller and it will be separate into the schools within the university. But again, this is clearly something that the university wants to avoid because they are worried about more protests during the commencement on, during these celebrations. So thats why they sort of shifted gears for all right, Camila Bernal. Thank so much there at the usc campus, well check back with you. All right. For more now, on all the demonstrations that weve seen on College Campuses, im joined now by Shamil Address of a ceo for search for Common Ground and global peace building organization. A shamil, great to see you. So i understand that you see these demonstrations, these protests as an important display of what todays Youth Leadership looks like what do you mean by that well thanks for having me on. I mean, one of the things that weve seen in this country and globally is that Youth Movements especially the ones that attract a huge diversity across race, religion, ethnicity like this one has make them world a better place. Eventually weve seen, i think in this country one of the most consistent patterns over the last 60 years has been that those movements manifest through College Campus protests that at the time of the protests is oftentimes opposed ridiculed, kinda set aside, or violently even suppressed but then years later is looked back upon with a lot of credit and recognition that they were onto something has happened with the Civil Rights Movement and the freedom riders. This happened with the vietnam war movement. This happened with the Antiapartheid Movement that doesnt address the charges of antisemitism visavis this, these protests. But i think that is one of those consistent patterns thats why we work everywhere in the world. World we not only work with the top leaders, heads of state, et cetera, but also always with Youth Activists so demonstrators today are vowing to keep these protests up. What challenges do you see for students with opposing views . To coexist on campus well, there should there should be certain things that kinda go without saying are beyond the bounds. You know, violence and threats of violence. And i think, you know some of the things that weve seen publicly like, the testimony, question testimony of University Leaders when given this specific question was asked, if somebody explicitly threatened genocide against the jews, is that bullying, harassment . And there wasnt just a clear and obvious yes that really is giving people pause and concern that universities arent handling this well, i think to answer your question one of the difficult things with this conflicts with all conflicts, but we definitely see it here, is that the very same words and slogans mean really, very Different Things to different people. What is the word zionist mean . What is the word intifada mean . What is from the river to the sea mean im seeing very confident statements by critics across the board what those things mean when other people say them. But i know, for example, i knows selfdescribed zionists who are among some of the most persistent and courageous defenders of palestinian rights. But also think that israel has a right to exist and needs to be safe. I know people who talk longingly about the first intifada, which was a nonviolent movement. The mobilise young people and women and men in equal measure and look at that in that way and look differently on the second intifada. I think when we hear these things, the only way to really get to the bottom of them is through dialogue. When i hear somebody who describe themselves or use one of those terms, my first instinct, i dont think should be two project onto them. My bias is what they mean, but to ask them what they mean and i think we really have to reinitiate that kind of dialogue in Questioning Process among young people, right . Because i had perhaps among a lot of young people, some dont really know i guess the history of everything that theyre saying or from what the derivatives our and their learning as they go. So then given these things are happening on College Campuses, places of learning, how do uc campuses are trying to foster harmony while allowing various voices of dissent to be heard. What should they do differently perhaps, or does everyone learn from what has, what has been transpiring thank you. Yeah, i i think there are three very clear things that campuses can do before i send my just say i think we should give some of these people more credit than we are i dont think the older generation, my generation and im certainly the Political Leadership at our country. I dont weve set the best example for the current up and coming generation of how to deal with difference. Since i know we havent, and so when i see the jewish student at yale talking about the discussions that were had about how certain slogans land differently and are hurt fallen, those slogans that werent used on the yield campus. I think theres a lot more of that kind of dialogue and cooperation going on, but theyre three things campuses can do and should do and the first is to build relationships of trust across the dividing lines on your campus. Theres a saying in the humanitarian sector that you dont Exchange Business cards in the middle of a hurricane so doing this in the middle of the most heated conflict is hard, but but the first time that the hilal, the Student Association leader and the muslim Student Association leader on your campus meet shouldnt be an opposite leinz of about picket line or a demonstration and campuses that are organizing ad hoc committees, committees about anything the meal plan on the campus, how to make the campus safer anything that can involve hello, students, especially across some of those divided communities, they should be brought in so that they can collaborate on common issues that have nothing to do perhaps with the conflict of build their trucks. I think the second thing campuses could do teach and train, and dialogue, and frankly not just the students with the faculty and the administrators as well. We just are my own organization invested some Surge Capacity just to meet the demand that were getting from campuses for training. And how do you have and how do you facilitate dialogue across difference and thats a really powerful thing that we can do, rather than just put more rules down on young people actually invest in their capacity and thankfully, the facultys capacity to navigate differences well, i think the third thing is we have to acknowledge that the way that wed been teaching, i think about identity and oppression in these issues has been necessary in some ways, but oftentimes overly simplistic i just had a example. Very close to my family where a student was asked to write a paper about oppression and wanted to write about his grandparents and then was told that because they were white european jews, they didnt count as a pressed, disliked the fact that they survived the holocaust. And i think that the lens of oppression thats very reductive, that sees everything through a us lins erase isnt really very helpful in understanding the complexity of whats going on in the world. But those are three things that can be done, build those relationships across difference, train your students and your faculty in dialogue skills. And look again at how were teaching about identity and oppression. So we can capture the complexity of whats happening in the world. All right, advice, well see how or when or where it might be applied. Shamil address. Thank you so much. Thank you all right. A new witness will take the stand tomorrow in the trump Hush Money Trial.
