Our top story this hour, Recovery Efforts under way in South Carolina after days of unrelenting rain across the state. Historic flooding caused 11 deaths. Two others were killed in North Carolina. At least one dam has overflowed leading to mandatory evacuation. Officials say so far 18 dams have breached or failed. Cnns Martin Savidge reports. Reporter desperate days. A man in columbia clings to a tree as floodwaters rip at his waist and threaten to wash him away. In South Carolina, the rain may be easing but not the danger. In many areas the water continues to rise. And so does the death toll. Many of those who have been killed died trying to cross through rushing water. He just made a mistake. This man nearly made the same fate when racing waters threatened to carry him and his truck away. It would become one of many dramatic res xups just outside charleston a mother and her 15monthold baby had to be rescued by a coast guard helicopter after floodwaters surrounded their home. Officials say there have been so many rescues like these, theyve lost count. South carolinas governor is warning people not to let down their guard as waters recede. This is not over. Just because the rain stops does not mean that we are out of the woods. We very much still have a vulnerable situation thats out there. Im still going to ask citizens to please stay inside. The greatest danger is south of columbia where as much as two feet of rain has fallen since friday. Several area dams are overflowing or giving way. We have probably about ten dams that broke in lexington county yesterday. Reporter this this afternoon a cnn crew guard helicopter flew over overcreek dam shortly after it breached. Warnings of the beach sent reporters and emergency crews rushing to get out of the waters potential path. Meanwhile some 1300 National Guard troops have been called in to help hundreds of troopers and state work eshs. Residents are being asked to say on the roads to allow emergency crews through. But its still not easy. More than 500 roads have been closed due to high water or damage, including 100 bridges in and around the state capital. In most areas, its too early to begin assessing the damage but many residents already know the cost is high. What i got on my body is what we have. Pretty much everybody down that hill there has lost everything this morning. Our vehicles, our clothes. Everything. But the best thing is that we still have our lives. Why still have our lives. Reporter Martin Savidge, cnn, columbia, South Carolina. In just three days, charleston received almost half a years worth of rain. At one point, tens of thousands were without electricity. Hundreds of others were evacuated from their homes. While the situation there is bad, its not as bad as it was just 24 hours ago. Mark will berlt is the director of charleston a department of Emergency Management and joins us on the line. Mark there is still trouble ahead. What is your biggest concern now in the coming days . Well, i think the biggest concern in the coming days is to begin to understand what we dont currently know. As the water recedes well begin to get an understanding of what kind of damage may have been done to infrastructure, roads, and when we get our first real good looks at what happened to peoples houses as we begin to deploy our Damage Assessment teams and they begin to get out and survey the damage. How long before schools and Government Services return to normal . Well, thats a good question. The schools here in the county are closed again tomorrow. And a lot of that is because many of the neighborhoods throughout the county, the schools, the buses, its just not safe for them to go in. A lot of standing water left. And they do need to get in and survey all the schools to make sure that the schools are safe for the students to go to the schools. And tremendous amounts of rain have fallen over the past few days. So much rain in some places the gauges couldnt keep up. Have you ever seen anything like this . Certainly not in my career. Previous to this i was 30plus years with the u. S. Coast guard. Plenty of time and rain storms and many different hurricanes, but this was certainly one for the record book. It just did not want to stop. Mark, good to speak with you, mark wilbert from charlestons department of Emergency Management. Our meteorologist is following this for us. The hope now is of course, that the residents of South Carolina are over the worst of all of this rain. How is it looking . The rain should all be done with within the next couple of hours. We then get sunny skies. You see some of these images out of columbia and just incredible to compare the before and after perspective. We often say you only need 30 centimeters, about one foot of moving water, about six Miles Per Hour to give about 500 pounds of lateral force. It does not take much water to create substantial damage. We know the northern portion of the state, the Appalachian Mountains rise up to about 3500 feet. Farther to the south you bring in the hundreds of rivers and tributaries. The low country, the marshland. All of this water has rained upstream and want to come down eventually into the Atlantic Ocean down stream. About a dozen or so dams have been jeopardized and levees as well. You look at this situation when it comes to dams and the amount of stress involved. In the United States, 30 of dam failures are because of overtopping. You get extra water that goes over the banks of the dam itself. That causes problems what we saw across South Carolina in the columbia area in the past several areas. You also have failures where fractures occur because of tremendous amount of stress on the water at about 90 of dams and 2400 dams across the state of South Carolina. You look at the numbers, the vast majority are privately owned. Some of them outdated. Some of them not having the regulations in place that would be able to withstand historic events, ones that youd see 1 in 1,000 years. Problems that come down with tremendous rainfall in place. Drying in the forecast. Look at the long term. Look where joaquin and its are slated to go. Western europe could get in on some rainfall. A story were still following. Thank you for the update. We move on. Turkeys morn minister is condemning weekend air space violation. A russian war plane flew over a Southern Province on saturday. Air force jets intercepted the plane. It continued into syria where it went on to conduct air strikes. Turkey said there was another violation on sunday. Turkey and russia dont see eye to eye over syria. Russian Officials Say theres nothing corrupt about what happened. Translator the following incident was caused by unfavorable weather conditions in this region. Dont look for any conspiratorial reasons here regarding the information about the incident with the following of a turkish jet on sunday by an unidentified mig 29 fighter. It had nothing to do with the russian air group. There are no planes of this type at the air base. A top nato official says the air space violation is unacceptable. Israeli Prime Minister netanyahu says hell do whatever it takes to end what he calls a wave of terror. On monday he lifted restrictions on the Israeli Defense forces which he says will allow soldiers to protect themselves and civilians. The idf came upon people throwing rocks. One man says his 13yearold nephew was shot and killed but the idf has not commentod the deceaseds identity and is promising to investigate. Mr. Netanyahu says israel is it is a difficult struggle but rather it will win. Translator we are acting with a strong hand against terrorism and against insiders. Were operating on all fronts. The police are going deeply into the arab neighborhoods which has not been done in the past. Well demollush terrorist homes. Were allowing our forces to take strong action against those who throw rocks and fire bombs. This is necessary in order to safeguard the security of israeli citizens. To afghanistan now where the commander of u. S. Forces is clarifying what led to the air strike oz a hospital in kunduz on saturday. Ten patients at the Doctors Without Borders hospital were killed. Three separate investigations are under way to determine what went wrong. We have now learned on october 3rd, Afghan Forces advised they were taking fire from enemy positions and asked for air support from u. S. Forces. An air strike was called to eliminate the taliban threat and civil civilians were accidentally struck. This is different from the initial reports which indicated u. S. Forces were threatened and the air strike was called on their behalf. As has been reported, ive ordered a thorough investigation into this tragic incident and the investigation is ongoing. The afghans ordered the same. If errors were committed, well acknowledge them. Well hold those responsible accountable, and well take steps to ensure mistakes are not repeated. Nic robertson joins us from kabul with more. U. S. Officials saying the afghans asked for air support because they were taking fire. But an unanswered question remains. What rules were the u. S. Operating under . Well, the u. S. General in charge, John Campbell, you just heard him speaking there was asked that question. Precisely what, you know, when you are calling in Helicopter Air support or an aircraft air support that had heavy machine guns on the ac130 compared to calling in a fighter jet with a bomb or drone with a guided munition on it, what different rules of engagement are come into play there . He said he didnt want to get into those kinds of details until the investigation is carried out. What we do know from u. S. Officials, they say whether or not air support is called for by u. S. Forces under fire or Afghan Forces under fire, it goes through a very strict vetting procedure. There are target, buildings, locations, such as the cordina. The explanation of what happened here absolutely isnt clear at the moment. But what we understand is the rules of engagement would require buildings like this hospital to be placed off limits. Nic, strenuously rejecting the afghan claims that taliban fighters were on the hospital grounds which takes us to the heart of one of the key issues here. The reliability of the afghan side in this counterterrorism fight. That has been called into question before over the years. And again, the u. S. Checking before they conduct air strikes is part of that process to make sure that every piece of information they get is reliable and that they can be held to account on it later. There have been instances where questions have been raised over what the government says transpired and what we later find out has transpired. At the moment were not hearing criticism from the United States or from the special forces on the ground saying they were given erroneous information. Thats not whats being presented at the moment. Certainly that has been a question in the past. And certainly one can imagine investigators will look very closely at those details in this situation. Nic robertson from kabul, afghanistan. Appreciate it, thank you. Youre watching newsroom l. A. When we come back, californias governor signs a landmark right to die legislation.

Here in california, governor jerry brown signed a landmark right to die bill into law. It would allow terminally ill patients to voluntarily end their lives using prescription drugs. In a letter addressed to lawmakers, brown said this controversial decision was very personal to him. He wrote i do not know what i would do if i were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain. Im certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this bill and i wouldnt deny that right to others. Brown also says he was inspired in part by pleas from Brittany Maynards family. Maynard was the terminally ill young woman who left california for another state so she could ind her life. Were joined by christie odonnell, a cancer patient whose been a strong advocate for the passing of this bill. Thank you for joining us. Some supporters of this bill thats now become law have described today as a bittersweet moment. How are you feeling . What does it mean to you . After this long journey, today really has been just the culmination of so many people for so many years. And then ending with brittany maynardae family, her husband dan, her mother debbie that im dear friends with, being involved with this, being terminally ill, today is truly a bittersweet moment both for my daughter bailey and myself. I want to ask you some of the details of your condition right now because you have lung cancer. Yes. Its spread to the brain and liver. The chemotherapy, its stopping the spread at the moment . Is that correct . The chemotherapy stalled it for a short period of time. I dont have any more chemotherapy left and its spread to my liver, rib, spine. So the cancer is pretty much everywhere at this point. Theres no more chemochrp i can have. What happens next . What happens next, im willing to try a new fda procedure with immuno therapy, a new direction in cancer treatment. Given the fact i have been a nonsmoker my whole life, the irony is the immuno therapy is less likely to work. For someone like me, ive got a prognosis of two, maybe three months left. So bhil this bill has passed today, when my daughter and i decided to speak out, we always knew it was highly unlikely that id personally be automobile bl the benefit of it. For thousand of terminally ill across california and across the country this is a landmark for them. There are critics. Governor brown was clear in his statement that this was based on his personal background. As someone of wealth and access to the worlds best medical care and doctors, his background is very different from thousands of californians living in health care poverty without the same access. These are the families and people hurt by giving doctors the power to prescribe leethsal overdoses to patients. If you are poor, if you are disabled, they will decide who lives, who dies. Theyll decide what life is worth. What do you say . I would tell them that after spending a decade as a civil rights attorney in los angeles fighting for the rights of the disabled, if i thought for one second that this law was going to harm them in any way, i would not be here today speaking out for it. Given the fact that Insurance Companies are there to make money, if the opposition to this act actually took the language at the bill itself, the language of the bill provides that Insurance Companies are not supposed to discriminat
