Of his executive order that he says will greatly expand access and lower costs to health care. Another key issue the president is kicking over to congress, the fate of the iran nuclear deal. He threatened to pull out altogether if congress and u. S. Allies dont get tougher on tehran. Also, held hostage by militants for years now and telling in a gripping account now that they are back in the u. S. And canada, just days after his family was freed, this man is speaking out, saying his kidnappers authorized the murder of his daughter and raped his wife. The stupidity and the evil of the Haqqani Networks kidnapping of a pilgrim and his heavily pregnant wife, engaged in helping ordinarily villagers in talibancontrolled regions of afghanistan was eclipsed only by the stupidity and evil of authorizing the murder of my infant daughter. And authorities revealing new video of what they call five minutes in hell. Look at this. There are walls of fire, including some smoke and ash, coming down on this car. These are the conditions First Responders are braving as they search for survivors this morning. Watch as a sheriffs deputy desperately pulls a disabled woman to safety. Shes disabled. All right, let me get her feet. Let me get her feet. Her husbands right behind you. Sheriff wants to do a carry out. Ready . Hold on, hold on, hold up. And we will have more on the fires here as we get through the morning, but we do want to talk to you, as well, about the shocking new claim today by the family that was freed from militant captivity in pakistan. Joshua boyle, his american wife, and their three children born in captivity arrived safe in canada last night. Boyle told reporters in toronto his kidnappers authorized the killing of one of his children and also raped his wife. Cnn International Correspondent paula newton is live from ottawa with more. Help us understand what else he was talking about there. Yeah, good morning, christi. You could only imagine what this family has been through, yet through a carefully prepared statement he had handwritten, obviously, exhausted, but taking over more than that was quite a bit of anger. He says his captors, and he eluded to this to his family beforehand, telling his family that his wife had been treated much worse than was indicated on some proof of life videos. He certainly detailed that his wife had been raped. We dont know more than that in terms of the incident, but i want you to listen to him and the very emotional statement as he arrived in canada shortly after midnight. Take a listen. The stupidity and the evil of the Haqqani Networks kidnapping of a pilgrim and his heavily pregnant wife engaged in helping ordinariry villagers in talibancontrolled regions of afghanistan was eclipsed only by the stupidity and evil of authorizing the murder of my infant daughter, as retaliation for my repeated refusal to accept an offer the criminal miscreants of the Haqqani Network had made to me. And the subsequent and the stupidity and evil of the subsequent rape of my wife, not as a lone action by one guard, but assisted by the captain of the guard and supervised by the commandant of the Haqqani Network. Yeah, shocking abuse there. And the key there is that he indicated boyle, what does that mean, what i know from having spoken to the family before they landed, they had eluded to the fact there had been a forced abortion, one that the family was vehemently against. They say it was at least one infant daughter. We dont know more than that, and you have to realize here that the family had only had two phone conversations and has barely been with them more than a few hours right now, but this is a family that has a lot more to say in the coming days and weeks. Christi . And we know he is there at home with his family now . Do we have any idea what his plans are with the family at this point . They are not they are trying to, as you can imagine, take it one day at a time, but ive spoken to the family, in the family home, there are rooms prepared for the kids. They want the kids to start going to daycare and school. They have an infant daughter right now whos only 2 months old. Obviously, needs a lot of attention. They just want to take it one day at a time, but they are in the embrace of their family right now. The problem here, though, christi, theres still a lot of questions, both from the u. S. Government and canadian government as to what they were doing there in the first place, and, obviously, as their memories are fresh, as difficult as this can be, they are going to want to know information about the people who were holding them where they were and, obviously, that will be very difficult interviews to come. Again, theyll want to get to those quite soon. Already been through so much. Paula newton, thank you so much. All right, it is three weeks, its been three weeks since Hurricane Maria, and the devastation in puerto rico almost seems some say to be getting worse. It is desperate times for these people. Particularly in dorado, they are drinking from a federally designated Hazardous Waste site. 45 people have died, and that number may continue to rise. 86 , 86 of the island, still does not have power. More than 1. 2 Million People dont have safe drinking water, clean Running Water at all. Earlier we spoke with the president of the American Federation of teachers and a nurse whos assisting there, trying to treat people who have not yet seen fema. Have had no help come to them. This was their account of whats happening there. What were seeing is people in need. Basic needs, food, shelter, medicine, water. We carry that with us when we go and set up ambulatory clinics where we go to try and help people. Were going in large teams with a doctor, provider, our own pharmacy, and a lot of food and water. Wherever we go. People are dying here. They are suffering here. And thats not true story is not being told. We see it every day. People havent seen anyone from fema yet. Im not saying that fema isnt working hard. I saw lots of people yesterday, they are exhausted, but this needs a marshal plan. That is what representative ryan should have said yesterday, just like we did a marshal plan in new york after world war ii. This is our country. These are our citizens. We need a marshal plan, and when you do that, we can regenerate, rebuild the economy here. Now, House Speaker paul ryan was in puerto rico yesterday and said the u. S. Is committed to Recovery Efforts for, quote, the long haul. Ed lavandera has more. Reporter along a winding road high in the mountains south of san juan, this stream of water is a lifeline, a pit stop now in the daily routine for thousands of people. Beverly and her husband pull up you should the makeshift water spouts. Pvc pipes dipped into the stream overhead to divert the water into massive tanks. Every day is a struggle. He wakes up at 4 00 in the morning and he comes here, he fills up, and he takes it to our neighbors. Reporter the water isnt safe to drink, but people use it to take showers, wash clothes, and cleaning. And for some, like adrianne santiago, who have lost their job since the storm, delivering this water to residents is a way of making extra money. Santiago delivers the water to nelson vasquez, who lives several miles away. He keeps two large 55gallon barrel drums in his garage next to a generator to power the basic necessities in his home. He says living in the storms aftermath is like traveling back in time. Our great grandmothers used to carry cans of water on their hip from the lake. To wash clothes. Reporter the roadway into this neighborhood was washed away by the storm. There are about 40 families that live on the other side, essentially cut off from the rest of the town, so they are having to figure out ways to get in and out, and this is one of those makeshift ways, a path so that people can walk in and out of their own neighborhood. And on the other side of the road collapse is where we found Elizabeth Diaz caring for her newborn baby boy. Diaz gave birth two days before Hurricane Maria struck, and when she left the hospital, she walked out into the ruins left by the storm. Her only focus now is caring for her baby, who was born prematurely. She cant live in her house, its unlivable right now because of the hurricane damage, so shes living here. No place to take a newborn baby. Here in the mountains of central puerto rico, many residents say they are settling into the reality that a normal day isnt even a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel yet. One man put it this way, were prepared for a dark christmas. There will be no holiday lights decorating the island this year. Ed lavandera, cnn, puerto rico. Thanks to ed and the whole team thats working there in puerto rico. President trump says millions of people will get better, Cheaper Health Care from his executive order, but even members of his own party are saying, quote, its going to hurt everybody. The latest from the white house. Thats coming up. Also, some of hollywoods most powerful figures are meeting this morning to decide the fate of this man, Harvey Weinstein. The big question is, will he be kicked out of the film academy and what exactly will that mean . Plus, this video. Look at this. Look at the screen. This is california this morning, where Police Officers body camera is showing the frantic moments of an officer trying to get people caught in these wildfires. You have to see this. Where are you at . Right here screw your shoe come on shes disabled. Let me get her feet. Let me get her feet. Ill never find a safe used car. Start at the new carfax.

Were getting a look now at the huge flames firefighters are braving as they search for anyone still alive in this community specifically. The Sonoma County Sheriffs Office released body cam footage of what they call five minutes in hell. Allison chinchar is standing by with details on what they are going to be facing today. It is not good. First to ryan young live in santa rosa, california. We know there are these homes that are destroyed. Im concerned, too, about these hundreds of people that are missing. What can you tell us about what they are doing to try to get to them or find them . Well, first things first, i wanted to tell you, the reason im holding this phone next to my head, we had to run to a second location. The reason we went to a second location from where we were all day, so far, the sunrise is starting to happen and if you look behind me, look at the scene right now. This is just amazing in terms of the fire they are dealing with here. Weve been talking about this fire all morning long in terms of we saw it in the hill line. It is starting to spread, and you can see that smoke thats now just pouring over this entire valley area. Weve been concerned about this, as well. Extra evacuations have now been put in place in several different areas. In fact, weve been told people are getting on to the highways to try to avoid this fire. The heavy winds weve had this morning so far have started to spread the fire thats in that hill line, and they are concerned about people who live in the nearby neighborhoods. When you talk about the people who are missing, were talking about over 200 people are missing, and they are going to start searching for them, but theyve already admitted this could be a recovery effort. So we have been doing live shots in this neighborhood where were actually standing in front of a house that is gone, but when we noticed over the ridge line the fire that weve been watching all day started to grow larger and larger and larger. So we wanted to show this to you guys, because it just sort of exemplifies the fact at any moment this can take a turn, especially with the heavy winds. And weve seen the flashing lights, because let me tell you something, weve seen heavy equipment moving towards that area, even helicopters get a little close, drop some water, and keep moving, but you can still see the fires growing, the smoke is growing, and look at it pouring back in that direction over there. This is an amazing sight to see, but its very dangerous in the sense of all the people who are down in that line of fire that we can see from here. Hey, ryan, how are rescuers holding up . I mean, they have been battling this thing fiercely for days. I mean, i dont even know if they are getting breaks. No, and we talked to some firefighters yesterday who were very young, who were very excited about being there in terms of they wanted to help and everyone has been thanking them, but they have been going four and five days straight. Pictures of firefighters using rocks as pillows trying to get rest in between shifts, so you understand just how tired they are in terms of trying to deal with this fire. Kudos to them. Ryan young, thank you so much for the update. All right, allison chinchar, cnn meteorologist, we know, and i know from covering fires, youve covered them, too, for quite some time, that the advantages and the upper hand that some of these firefighters might have gained over the last several days, that could be completely wiped out today because the winds are whipping up in the 30 , 40 containment they have can dwindle to zero in a matter of hours. And that has to be so frustrating for the firefighters, victor, who were able to make so much advancement in the containment in the last 48 hours and that may be for nothing when you go later on into the day today. We have the red flag warnings out, and notice were not talking a small pocket here or there in florida. This has spread huge across the entire state. In northern california, running from redding to well south of san francisco, the wine country region, but also it extends down towards southern california, including santa barbara, even los angeles dealing with those strong winds that are mainly going to be this morning. The one good thing is, by tonight those winds are expected to calm down, but until then, the fire risk exists. The orange indicates an elevated fire threat. The red indicating critical, so you have several pockets of that. We talked about the winds. Again, the forecast gusts for the morning and early afternoon are likely going to be 30, 40, even as high as 60 miles per hour, but we said the good news is by tonight a lot of these locations get down to less than 5 miles per hour. The key thing to note, its not just the winds, but those winds are taking not only fires and spreading them, but it takes the ash, it takes the smoke, and that makes your air quality really poor, as well. Thats a concern for firefighters, not just the people that live there, but another concern, victor and christi, the temperatures. Unfortunately, actually going to rise about 10 to 15 degrees above average in the next three days. That will make it even more difficult for those firefighters, as well. All right, allison chinchar, thank you so much for watching it for us. Well, the former white house chief of staff and special counsel investigators are coming face to face. What this means for the russia investigation and which other current and former white house staff are next in line to get interviewed. Plus, Film Producer Harvey Weinstein says we all make mistakes.
