Welcome to all of you watching here in the United States, canada and all around the world. Im kim brunhuber. Ahead on cnn newsroom, millions of americans are bracing for a Tropical Storm this hour. A lock at what to expect from the cnn weather center. And cash and gold in exchange for police call favor, the allegations against a u. S. Senator. Whats next for the lawmaker in the u. S. Plus after a Whirlwind Visit by Volodymyr Zelenskyy to washington this week, well delve into the discan connect between lawmakers and voters on the issue of funding and more aid for the war. Tropical storm is just off the coast of North Carolina, and according to the latest advisory that came out minutes ago, is expected to make landfall any time now. Ophelia is at Hurricane Strength and is bringing storm surge, Flash Flooding and damaging winds to North Carolina and virginia. More than 40,000 customers are without power. Severe weather is also forecast in maryland and delaware. The game between the braves and nationals has already been postponed and rain from the storm is already reaching into new jersey and pennsylvania. Meteorologist chad myers has more on what to expect. Ophelia lash ing the coast o North Carolina with punishing waves, Beach Erosion, some of the waves getting over the top of the Barrier Islands here along the outer banks. Very heavy rainfall coming into polices like new jersey, delaware, even towards the nations capitol. Let me push this ahead to the 9 00 hour or so. Well on land by then, but still notice how large the area of rainfall. That Rainfall Shield is going to be all the way up in from new england all the way back down even when the storm is just crossing over into virginia. So an awful lot of rainfall with this. A lot of surge possible. Those pounding waves really creating significant Beach Erosion along the east coast. Even though this wasnt a category 3 or 4, it did have its moments all the way up and down the east coast with 3 to 4 inches of rainfall. Because it is moving so fast, we probably wont see that 10 to 15 inches worth of rain, but theres still the possibility of flooding with Flood Watches and a few warnings already in effect. So yes, its going to be a storm to reckon with with heavy rainfall in virginia and for tomorrow, farther up to the northeast. 60 to 0 Miles Per Hour along the coast. Much less inland, but there could still be 40 to 50 mile per hour winds that could can bring power lines down, trees down, same story to the north. And finally by sunday, things begin to settle down. The winds are only going to be 15 to 20, but they will be there off the ocean as the winds continue. Because the storm would have been on land for 36 hours, those winds are certainly going to be calming down. So will the winds and the waves. That shore and Beach Erosion, surge could be 4 to 6 feet with this in some places. And thats when you get the big waves on top of that. That could really mean a problem for anyone living along the water as this water is going to eventually move up to the rivers of the eastern part of the midatlantic coast. Democratic senator Robert Menendez is ang Ly Rily Rejectig calls to resign. It follows his indictment Friday On Federal Corruption charges for the second time in less than a decade. His wife is and three others all denied any wrong doing and are due in week. He stepped down as chairman of the powerful Foreign Relations committee. Paula reid has the latest from washington. Reporter senator Robert Menendez facing Corruption Charges for the second time in just ten years. Im announcing that my office has obtained a threecount indictment menendez, his wife and three businessmen. Reporter prosecutors allege he and his wife accepted bribes including cash, gold bars, and a mercedes to wield his influence for allies in the u. S. And earth jupt. Senator maine innocent dez provided u. S. Government information to egyptian officials in otherwise took steps to secretly aid the government of egypt. Reporter the senator travelled to egypt just last mo month. The powerful senator, who chaired the Foreign Relations committee until he stepped down, also allegedly attempted to influence criminal investigations of two new jersey businessmen, one of whom was a longtime fundraiseer for the lawmaker. And allegedly pressured the Department Of Agriculture to help an associate maintain a monopoly on the importation of wheat to the United States. Feds searched the home finding over 480,000 in cash, much of it stuffed in envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets and a safe. Some envelopes were found inside jackets baring his name and hanging in his closet, as seen in this photo from the indictment. The senators previous Corruption Case ended in a mistrial in 2017. Then, a partial acquittal a year after that before all charges were dropped. Menendez subsequently won reelection. Im so proud that new jerseyans rejected the politics of personal destruction and the false negative salacious ads. Reporter the white house declined to comment, but new jersey governor phil murphy, a fellow democrat, along with Congressman Dean Phillips among those Call Ing On Menendez to resign. I dont care your politics. A member of congress who appears to have broken the law is someone who i believe should resign. I think George Santos should have resigned already. Reporter but the senator refusing to back down saying, quote, i have been falsely accused before because i refused to back down to the Powers That Be and the people of new jersey are able to see through the smoke and mirrors and recognize i was innocent. The senator and his wife, along with their codefendants, are expected to appear in Federal Court next wednesday. U. S. Attorneys said this investigation is very much ongoing. Paula reid, cnn, washington. Uaw strike is in its second week. If you need car repairs, you could soon be out of luck. The strike has been expanded to include 38 parts and Distribution Centers in 20 states belonging to General Motors and stellantis. It will hit dealerships hard. It wont expand the strike at Ford Facilities noting significant improvements in the negotiations. President biden, who has been criticized for not showing enough support, said he will go to michigan on tuesday and join picket lines. Chuck schumer tells cnn his cham can better may try to push through a bill to fund the government as chaos rules in the republicanled house. Now if the u. S. A little over a week away from a Government Shutdown, schumer says hes trying to cut a Spending Deal with Mitch Mcconnell. In the house, Kevin Mccarthy says he will try to pass a series of yearlong Funding Bills next week, but he sent representatives home for the weekend on thursday, still issuing a warning to hard hadliners. Here he is. I just believe if youre not funding the troops and the border, its difficult to think youre going to win in a shutdown. I have been through those a couple times. The president took a swing at the houses early dismissal writing, the last time there was a Government Shutdown, 800,000 americans were furloughed or worked without pay, but enjoy your weekend. A Government Shutdown would affect millions of americans. Brian todd has a look at the realworld impact. Reporter the soulcrushing Flight Delays that might have hampered travel this summer, get ready for more of them. Your food and water might be vulnerable to safety lapses. Those are among the potential disruptions to our lives that could occur if the congress cant agree to extend the funding of the government, and we face a shutdown by midnight on september 30th. Dont think for a minute it dont affect your community. That it dont affect your city. It affects all of america. Reporter first to feel the pinch, almost all of the countrys 35 million federal workers going without pay, including active duty military and much of federal law enforcement. Some Essential Workers will have to work any way without pay, like air Traffic Controllers at airports. If they are working, why could there still be Flight Delays . You dont have money to put gas in the car to come to work, when you dont have money for public transit, that could cause delays at the airport because they are going to call in if they cant get to work. Reporter a shutdown would delay the training for badly needed newly hired air Traffic Controllers. A shutdown lasting a few weeks could set us back by months or more because of how complex that train ing is. Reporter how would the rest of us feel it . National parks likely closed. Food stamps in jeopardy, as well as Passport Processing and disaster funding for places like hawaii and florida. Even thousands of preschool kids could be shut out. Head start is losing funding. That means preschools could be shutting down and families will be affected. Reporter our daily sustenance will be affect because fda inspectors wouldnt be working during a Government Shutdown. Youll see fewer food safety inspections. Youll see a pause in inspections of Drinking Water facilities. Reporter Social Security and medicare payments wont be stopped, but service . Apply for a new claim, that wont happen. A person have an issue with their benefits, they have no one to call, no one to talk to. Reporter the broader economy would take a hit because things like permitting for Construction Projects and Loan Approvals for farms and Small Businesses could be paused. A Government Shutdown is just yet another drag on the economy because it ends up disrupting the lots of Supply Chains and the lots of services that people rely on the other parts of the economy. Reporter what should the average american do to prepafr pair . Analysts advise check to see what benefits youre receiving from the federal government, whether its food stamps or or your childs preschool. Find out if those benefits will be disrupted, and she says, contact your representative in congress and urge them to work as hard as possible to reach a funding deal. Brian todd, cnn, washington.

Ukraine says the toll from the strike of the naval headquarters in crimea is far higher than moscow is ready to admit. Russia said only one soldier is missing after the Missile Attack on the command of the Black Sea Fleet. The special Operations Forces say dozens of people were kin kilned or wounded including senior flight leaders. They didnt provide any eviden for the clinton campaign. Kyiv says russian drones pummelled cain overnight. The attacks killed one person and wounded three others. The strikes on crimea maybe fa behind front lines, but a general in charge of the counteroffensive is say they make a big difference for his forces on the ground. He gave an interview to fred pleitgen. Reporter Smoke Pbillowing from the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, moscow blame ing ukrainian launched cruise missiles. I sat down with the commanding general for ukraines counteroffensive in the south, and he tells me strikes like these are invaluable for his st troops. Sfwlts a destroyed commander means a destroyed link. If theres no command, there are no coordinated actions hitting infrastructure like warehouses, containing weapons is a factor for victory. Reporter in the past weeks alone, ukrainians sate they chef v hit a submarine, base in crimea. Still they face skepticism from republican lawmakers and the public about the u. S. s continued support for ukraine. He is asking for patience. Translator we have one goal. Elect liberation of our territory. I want to thank even the skeptics, their criticism also influences our tasks success. Reporter its been a slow grind for the ukrainians on the southern front. Progress so far, incremental. There would be a big push. Translator i believe so. I think this point will be relying on the depth of the Offensive Line there. I worry less about the line and more about the Cross Roads Tree Lines and the mine fields between the tree lines. Reporter but the u. S. Has cautioned time might be running out as fall progresses make ing the earth here soggy and movement difficult. How much do you think you can achieve before the winter sets in . How far do you think your forces can can get . Translator the weather can be a serious obstacle, but considering how we move forward mostly without using vehicles, i dont think the weather will heavily influence the counteroffensive. Reporter he remains optimistic that the counteroffensive will be a success, especially if ukraine continues its campaign targeting Russian Forces in the rear like chrisrimea. Fred pleitgen, cnn, ukraine. We have been following developments in ukraine. Se selma, lets start with the attack on the Black Sea Fleet. It could be a significant development, but confirmed details are scarce. What more are we learning . We got a statement from ukraines Special Forces making further claims on this attack. It really is the in heart of crimea. The headquarters of its Black Sea Fleet. Special forces said in this statement that there were dozens of troops killed and wounded in this attack. They said that the timing of the attack was significant. Apparently taking place during a highlevel meeting at noon yesterday. The statement went on to say that Statement Led to Senior Leadership of the Black Sea Fleet being among those killed or wounded. Now ukraine has provided no evidence to back these claims. Russia disputes them, as you mentioned, the latest statement we have from russian officials is that one soldier is missing. Nothing further than that. They do admit they do concede that that headquarters was struck, as you have seen in those dramatic videos there. Regardless of the exact consequences, the exact nature and outcome of this attack, ukraine has been making it clear in recent weeks that any russian target inside the region is within reach. As you heard there from matthew chance, several strikes on several areas from ships to command centers to the headquarters in russianoccupied regions gives that sense that the kremlin is ever more vulnerable, far from those weapons. In the meantime, russian attacks are continuing. St whats the latest . Yes, so heavy russian bombardment to the south region, local officials reporting in a 24hour period, in the past 24 hours, some 600 shells were fired towards that region. Several people, one person has been killed and several others have been wounded. Again, this is a continuation of the challenge that ukraine faces all along that hundreds of miles of front line. You can see on that map there how extensive that front line is, that battlefield is, which means while Ukrainian Forces are very much focused on this access to the south pushing towards the black sea, the Russian Forces can continue to pull and distract Ukrainian Forces along the front line causing serious damage, causing civilian casualties. That continues to challenge Ukrainian Forces as the days are numbered. Winter is coming soon. That could really slow this counteroffensive without a major breakthrough this summer. Still, Ukrainian Forces remain opt midwestic. They are claiming in recent hours and days, they are able to retake yet another village south, and that that push continues again to cut off the allimportant Land Peninsula that supplies Russian Troops on that battlefield. Appreciate the update. Salma, thank you so much. Future u. S. Assistance in ukraine is getting caught up in the dysfunction in the house of representatives. Kevin mccarthy wont commit to bringing a 24 billion aid package to the floor despite what he describe d as a productive meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week. You have questions. Wheres the accountability and the money we already spent . Whats the plan for victory . What russia has done is wrong. Its an atrocity. We want to make sure that ends. I have also said no matter what the issue is, i want accountability for whatever the hard working taxpayers spend their money on. A cnn indicated that 55 of respondents didnt think congress should authorize more funding for ukraine. Senate leaders are working on a bipartisan Spending Bill say they believe the u. S. Should continue to provide support. Heres Mitch Mcconnell speaking on thursday. Americans support for ukraine is not charity. Its an investment in our own direct interest, not least because russias military power helps to deter our primary strategic adversary. Join ing me now is a residen fellow at the Atlantic Councils center. Thank you for being here with us. I want to start with what we saw this week. President zelenskyy on a mixed reaction when he was here in the u. S. The reaction he got from many republicans was a lot cooler than it was last time he was here. You wrote that zelenskyys chief goal was to move the needle in congress. Did he do that . I i think zelenskyy, the most important part of his visit to the United States, he was at the u. N. He was at the white house. I do think the most important part of his visit was the time he spent in Congress Meeting with both democrats and republicans, some of which you are or have been skeptical about further u. S. Aid to ukraine. Now most of those meetings were done in private. We have seen some reporting that he gave a speech to a Bipartisan Group of Congress People and senators. I do think he made some end roads. I think theres nothing like a leader like zelenskyy come in person to talk to senators and Congress People. So i do think he was able to make a very strong case, as he does pretty much every time he gets in front of a camera, for the greater u. S. Support to ukraine, not only because its the right thing to do, but because its also a u. S. Strategic interest that ukraine defeats russia in ukraine. When it comes to the american public, i mentioned a cnn poll that found that more than half of americans are against additional u. S. Support for ukraine. You have taken issue with some of the reporting around this. You have argued that the way the polls have been framed didnt tell the whole story. Explain what you mean. The poll you mentioned, the poll in august asked americans, do you Want Congress to spend more money on Ukraine Military aid or not. And if you ask most americans about any Foreign Policy issue whether they Want Congress to spend more money Send Ing Aid T another country in the world, the results arent going to be pretty. That actually wasnt the case with ukraine. 45 of americans said they want u. S. To spend more money on military aid to ukraine. And thats down from 62 , who said u. S. Hasnt done enough back in february 2022. Some Comment Taters say support is slow ing. If you think back, thats two days after the fullscale invasion began, when the Biden Administration and congress were still run ning around Affordabl Care Acting Out what to do. They were still sending javelins. They were coordinating sanctions. So i actually think now 19 months after the fullscale invasion and after tens of billions of dollars of u. S. Support to ukraine, nearly half of americans Want Congress to spend more money. I just want to jump in. Theres a huge partisan split. 28 of republicans think congress should provide more aid compared to 62 of democrats. So thats the resistance from the gop in congress. Its not as if theres a huge disconnect between the lawmakers and their voters here. Thats certainly part of it. It is undenial that republicans in general are more skeptical of sending more american aid to ukraine than democrats, but if you look at the same poll, think part of this shows that its more partisan politics than actually that republicans dont care about ukraine. Actually, republicans support sending more aid to ukraine at twice the clip they approve of president bidens handling of the situation in ukraine. Which speaks in part just to partisan american politics, but also hints at the fact that many republicans want the Biden Administration to do more for ukraine. One of the criticisms we hear in washington is that the Biden Administration, and this is true from republicans and democrats in this criticism, has been really too slow in sending aid to ukraine. Thats holding up f16s, holding up tanks, holding up attacks as melwell. Theres a Bipartisan Group as well that actually wants the u. S. To need more quick in the aid we send and more robust in what we send as well. It will be interesting to see if the numbers change depending on the success of the counteroffensive. Well have to leave it there. Thank you so much for speak ing with us. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

This is cnn newsroom. Pope francis is on the last leg of a twoday visit to france, where hes been meeting with the french president. The trip is focused on part on the Migration Crisis facing europe. It comes as the European Union grapples with Tens Of Thousands of migrants coming across the mediterranean as they flee africa. He celebrated mass before he returns to the vatican later this afternoon. Senior analyst john allen joins us live from rome. Pope getting involving involved in migration, an issue dear to him. Take us through his visit so far and what he and president macron will be discuss ing here. Hi there. Were seeing a real Role Reversal here. Typically speaking, when a french president meets the pope, this is the Fourth Meeting of pope francis, usually that is perceived as an frt to reach out to the right in france. That is cultural conservatives. But today many observers believe macron is hoping that this meeting is going to him with the french left, that is the optics of a meeting with the world leading moral champion of the dignity of migrants and refugees at a time when the government is increase ingly adopting a hard line policy. France is not going to perceive any migrants. It has plans to double the Military Prebs along the border. To prevent refugees of crossing on to french soil. So i think his hope here today is that by being perceived as at least open to the popes message, that will placate some of his critics on the left. Whether that makes any difference in terms of prophesies, thats a wait and see thing. Exactly right. And then next as i mentioned earlier, they will celebrate mass at the famed soccer stadium. Macron will be the first french president to attend a papal mass since 1980. Its a significant moment for the head of a nation that so often touts its values as a s secular state. First of all, kudos on your french pronunciation, which is far better than mine. But youre absolutely right. The french pride themselves on this concept of Strict Church state separation. Macron has faced some criticism in france for attending this mass. Hes emphasized hes not going as a believer, but rather as the Head Of State in an attempt to show respect. But nevertheless, i think what it is indicative of macron understands that pope francis is a deeply relevant figure on the global stage. And his advocacy on all kinds of issues, but particularly in this context, the question of migrants and refugees is one that has deep political residents. And while his policies may not exactly track with the popes teaching, he also cant afford to be seen as dismissing it either. Interesting to see whether this yields any change in policy. Well be tracking that. We appreciate your analysis. Thank you so much. Uncontrolled migration is also a crisis at the u. S. Southern border. Near lir 90,000 migrants crossed in just nearly 9,000 migrants crossed in a 24hour period. Some migrants formed a human chain to cross the rio into the United States. Its estimated that up to 1,000 migrants were apprehended in the area on friday. Now the unprecedented flow of migrants is creating a humanitarian crisis that starts in South America and snakes its way up to the southern United States. Heres more from colombia. Reporter authorities in the country in Central America to allow migrants to move north to the United States along one of the most dangerous migration places in the world. The border town is the beginning of the informall route. A stretch of jungle from South America leads north and then to mexico and the u. S. Because colombia and panama share no regular Border Crossing on that route, hundreds of migrants are stuck in Northern Colombia as they are waiting for a chance to move north and pass on to panama. Translator we cannot put walls. Their human rights must be respected. Migration needs to be regulated. Otherwise, the alternative means pushing more migrants towards illegal routes. Reporter authorities in the United States have decided to Grant Temporary Protection Status on to migrants who have entered illegally, not later than the 31st of july. Almost a decade since the beginning of the economic crisis, more than 7 million venezuelans have left the country. In order to seek better Economic Opportunities abroad or fleeing political persecution in their home country. The vast majority of these migrants first migrated towards other countries in South America such as colombia, ecuador and peru. Hundreds of thousands of migrants right now are on the move trying to reach the u. S. Southern border via land. In the mexican sosh state, the complex humanitarian and displacement crisis that has been triggered by these enormous number of people on the move has never been seen before, according to the International Rescue center.

China is less than three hours away from opening ceremonies of the largest asian games ever. Chinese state media say xi jinping will be in the host city to declare the games open. More than 12,000 athletes from 45 nations and territories are set to participate in the games, which is a new record. Athletes will compete in 40 sports, 61 disciplines and 481 events over the coming weeks through october 8th. So for more on this, cnns mark stewart joins me live from china. The biggest asian games ever. What are you keeping your eyes on . Reporter to be honest, i think the big anticipation is this opening ceremony. Its supposed to be very grand, for lack of better words. Very hightech, lots of lights, very multimedia. I can tell you here in the press center, theres some palpable excitement about that, which as you mentioned, takes place roughly two and a half hours from now. This is also a time, a rare moment in time when we see sports and politics actually intersect. As far as the sports, this is a very big deal for asia. China has spent 1. 5 billion according to state media on these big events. The venues are sleek. They are modern. They are very inviting. And they will draw a crowd from around the world. That is why china is using this as a moment to say that it is back in business. Right now, we have not seen social distancing. We are not seeing people wearing masks. This is the moment that china really has been waiting for after around three years of very strict covid lockdowns. With this openness, its giving china a little bit of political clout to start making deals on its own. Thats exact ly what we have sen over the last 24 hours, especially with that meeting between chinese president xi and the president from syria, making agreements about chinese assistance to help syria rebuild, to further align with chinas belt and road programs. Its an initiative that focuses on Economic Growth and on infrastructure. And its not just syria. At the opening ceremony, well see World Leaders from across the middle east, a part of the world that china does see valuee economic front. So this is not just a sporting event. This is a way for china to really reestablish itself on the global stage using these games here in china as the backdrop for all of this. Pz. As always, these things more than just sports. Mark, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Still ahead here on cnn newsroom, Deion Sanders is putting the i in prime.
