Theres been nearly 2,000 rescues in southwestern florida since Hurricane Ian hit the state. A man in naples says he swam nearly a mile to save his wheelchairbound mother. Feels like im swimming forever. Were arriving at grandmas. Or im arriving at grandmas. Whats the time . 5 41. When he arrived he found his another neck deep in floodwaters. Needless to say, thrilled to see him. It was a sigh of relief. As i was approaching the house, i couldnt get through the front door. Water up to the windows, and i heard her screaming inside, and she was actually on the phone with my youngest son who was giving status updates to her, and it was, it was a scare and a sigh of relief at the same time. Scared thinking she might be hurt, but a sigh of relief knowing there was still air in her lungs. I got to the back window, go the it opened. I snapped the a picture so the family would know she was fine, and never seen her happier in my life. This morning, half a million still without power this morning and President Biden will visit the state tomorrow after being in puerto rico monday. The Island Territory is recovering from the devastation caused by hurricane fiona. We begin coverage live in sarasota florida. How are families handling the devastating search for loved ones . Reporter brianna, for many so hard to even find out if their loved one is dead or alive. So important. Sarasota fairgrounds run by Florida Power and light and hundreds of linemen that have from around the country, their goal, get the power on as quickly as possible, and crews working to get cell phone towers up. We spoke with a resident who found out from a nurse her father was in the hospital, in the icu on a ventilator. That was before the storm. Days after the storm she hadnt heard from them and didnt know if her father was still in there fighting for his life. She now knows hes there only because a nurse called her yesterday afternoon. Take a listen. Hes my father, you know . Hes the one that raised me, and and i cant even describe it. I cant describe it. And i hope nobody else is going through this, and if they are, i feel your pain 100 . 100 . Its awful. I mean, even in normal circumstances going through this would be awful, but to add in the hurricane and Everything Else is theres no words. Reporter the phone lines were impacted at the hospital. Theyre still down and were hit by the storm, too. Now, brianna, her big goal, figure how to get around the floodwaters that trapped her in her own community so she can visit her father. So tough going for those nadia, thank you for that. And phone lines, this is really hard. With me, so many different ways hospitals are affected. Not just they have to be knocked in or the walls come in. Theyre suffering. My heart breaks. Think about hospitals being anchors of the community. When something goes wrong with the Health Care System its so destabilizing. Yes, still under a lot of pressure. We know actually two hospitals in sarasota and charlotte had to evacuate all patients, about 200 parents. Transferring patients. Overall, about 7,000 patients transferred from 1 ooh Health Care Facilities and 65 of Health Care Facilities have reopened. Look where the pressure is coming from. Some hospitals assisting in damage, still working to get pow around water. Freestanding Emergency Rooms. Many of them damaged putting pressure on Emergency Rooms and hospitals. Discharge is an issue. How do you discharge patients when they cant go home, cant go to nursing homes, and no beds available in the hospital. Staffing issues. If the staff lost their homes or ability to get to the hospital, thats a problem. Hit at multiple angles. Thats just hospitals. Talk about Nursing Care Facilities and assisted living. 18,000 also evacuated from 160 hess Care Facilities or nursing homes. This is difficult allaround for the Health Care System there. And cascading series of problems, and then there is specific Health Concerns and challenges in the aftermath of a hurricane. Right. Certain things to keep in mind. First and foremost, individuals need to stay out of the flood waters. They can have sharp objects. Chemicals can carry disease. Avoid driving in floodwaters. Staying away from downed power lines or going into buildings with structural damage. Avoid using electrical products that may be wet. Once back in the home, Pay Attention to things like using flashlights, not candles. Nine individuals died from carbon in a knox id poisoning already. Theres a tendency to use those Charcoal Grills or camp burners inside the house. Something to Pay Attention to. Carbon dioxide is tasteless, has no smell. And contaminated food and emotional wellbeing. A lot of anxiety and stress. So much stress. Physical, you know, and emotional. People have could be really carol. Doctor, thank you so much this morning, the u. S. And japan joining forces to strongly condemn north koreas latest Ballistic Missile launch. The path of this actually went over japan overnight. Air raid sirens sounded off as japanese officials warned their citizens to take kcover. The last time north korea fired over japan, 2017 when kim yong un was Trading Insults with them President Trump. Were live from taiwan and this Missile Launch stands out here, will. Yeah. Hearing Air Raid Sirening brought me right back to the sounds that really jolted people when they hear them, because thats a Warning System. Japan only activates this for national emergencies. Were not quite at the level of tension in 2017 when trump and kim were Trading Insults during the fire and fury days. This missile, its trajectory brought it farther than north korea had ever launched a missile before. They tested missiles capable of going much farther, even reaching the u. S. The fact they flew this over japan the third time is a signal kim jongun is going to continue escalating tensions in the months to come. How is japan reacting here . Reporter strongly condemning it. As i said, they activate at Warning System reserved for things like earthquakes and Major National disasters. They told people to take cover, to go underground. They look at this as a direct threat to them, and it was the former japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, started floating the idea of firststrike capability. Japan shooting down enemy missile bases. He was talking about north korea, even though they didnt try to shoot this missile down, japan feels theyre in the direct line of fire if these provocations continue. Translator a Ballistic Missile launched that flew over our country is not only an issue for aircraft and vessels, its a serious and problematic action that involves the safety of residents living in the area where the missile flew over. We have strongly protested against north korea in the strongest terms. Reporter as provocative as this was, brianna, experts say a nuclear test could be on the horizon, which would certainly ratchet things up to a higher level. Thank you for that report, will. And Armed Rebellion against the united states, on to references of the Princess Bride a case against the oath keepers. Five alleged members are on trial in washington, d. C. s federal courthouse accused of plotting to attack the u. S. Capitol january 6th. In its Opening Statement yesterday the prosecution cast the charges of Seditious Conspiracy in the starkest possible terms invoking the earliest days of american democracy saying this ever since our government transferred power from George Washington to john adams in the year 1797, we have had a core custom of routine and peaceful transfer of power. These defendants tried to change that history. They concocted a plan for Armed Rebellion to shatter a bedrock of american democracy. The defense argued they had no part on what occurred. That the real evidence will show you our clients were there to do security for events for the 5th and the 6th. In an unexpected turn the defense telegraphed its defense to show how the Princess Bride would prove their incidence. An argument, facebook is such an instigator and Storming The Castle merely quotes from the 1987 cult classic. Im not sure its the most important thing but not an instigator was not in the Princess Bride. However, Storming The Castle is a quote. Yes. Such an instigator. I dont think they taught that in second and third year law school. Not even in the Princess Bride. The point theyre trying to make, this was all overblown. The best defense in the past for charge of Seditious Conspiracy, given rarely by the federal government but failed in 2012 directed at the michigan militia is that this is all politicizing free speech. Seems to me, and prosecutors argued, january 6th is fundamental different. Thats where the crux of this debate will play out in court. Fascinating and high stakes but january 6ble makes it different. That fact. Whats different about this tr trial . The oath keepers trial . Seditious conspiracy. This is the, the highstakes criminal statute that a lot of folks were saying, how come this is all About Obstructing Official Proceedings . Because what it really is about is stopping a peaceful transfer of power. Covered thins basically wing nuts, rememember it kel well. This seems to be an attack on the constitution and peaceful transfer of power. Prosecution rolled out they have tape of saying Thus Always To Tyrants what booth shouted out for shooting abraham lincoln. Him taking the stands, the higheststakes moments of this, but fascinating to see how their allegation they were only there at peacekeepers, waiting for President Trump to invoke the insurrection act, is their defense. That will be the contradiction of their own actions and words on tape in and around the 6th. Another development overnight, nothing to do with this. The maralago case. Washington post first and then the times, that donald trump apparently asked a lawyer of his Alex Cannon To Kel the archives, way back after the first batch of documents was turned over that, hey, weve given you everything. Asked this lawyer to say, weve given you everything, the lawyer saying, i cant say that because i dont know it to be true. This is potentially important legally . It is potentially important. Heres why. First of all, heres trumps only lawyer saying, im not lying to the federal government for you, because i cant, i dont have confidence that what you are asking me to say is true, and then trump goes off and says, well, hell fire off a note to that effect. The fact trumps own lawyer, weve seen a pattern of this in different ways. Is saying, i cant simply take my clients word for it when it comes to putting my reputation in front of the federal government. Thats very significant. In all of this. Especially when it comes down to the documents. And any Chance Justice too prove donald trump knew what he was asking wasnt true. I mean the lawyers knew enough to say i cant take your word for it. He said, fine, ill do it myself, but some of those documents that remained in maralago were moved into his office. Thank you very much. A scathing report finds players in the u. S.

Soccer president is calling the findings of an independent investigation that reveals systemic abuse and misconduct by coaches in the top tier of womens professional soccer. The report also issued warnings the girls face abuse in youth soccer as well. Cnn is live for us in chicago with more. Just very alarming findinging here, lucy. Reporter incredibly alarming, brianna. A coach asking a player to his house to review game video and then showing pornography and berating Young Players quizzing them on sex lives yet another coach accused of coercing their players into sex. Gruesome findings in this report that comes a year after professional players effectively refused to compete in games demanding this behavior be addressed, behavior that this report say its was many executives, coaches, as well as owners knew about, but did nothing to stop it. A shocking, new report alleges stimic abuse within the u. S. Womens professional Soccer League saying Sexual Misconduct and verbal abuse spread throughout the report spread even into youth soccer. We thought it was important to lay it all out in terms of, embarrassed on the evidence that we were able to find who knew what when and what they did about it and what they didnt do about it. Reporter former acting attorney general sally yates led the independent investigation which interviewed more than 200 people and found the National Womens Soccer League under the u. S. Soccer federation failed to provide a safe environment for players. The report stating abusive coaches moved from team to team and those in a position to correct the record stayed silent. The report focused on three now former head coaches, but acknowledged numerous other problems across the league, and this isnt the first time one of them, paul riley, faced allegations. Last year he was fired from the North Carolina courage after a report by the athletic detailed allegations of Sexual Coercion and misconduct against him. He denied the accusations then and cnn has not been able to reach him for comment on the latest report. He told cnn affiliate wraltv that he was not ready to talk, and called the report not much of an independent investigation. Shenay barley is one of the professional players accused riley of abuse in the report and she spoke to cbs news. Soccer for me was my safe space in my world and something that i had such an innocent, pure love for since i was a little girl, and that was taken from me. Reporter those allegations are abuse echoed by former portland thorn Midfielder Mana who spoke to espns east60 alleging as in the reported riley her former coach invited her to his hotel room. I was terrified, and i knew, i knew at that point that i had to find a way out and i was not willing to compromise myself for my career, or
