Im laura jarrett. 5 a. M. In new york. 50 days until election but of course we may not know the result that night or even that week so be ready for a long, drawn out president ial election. Well have much more on that. We begin this morning with the nation confronted by three serious crises. The raging wildfires on the west coast. The death toll rising to 35. 25 in california. They have burned 4. 6 million acres. Thats the equivalent of connecticut and rhode island combined. The major cities along the west coast likes los angeles, san francisco, seattle are feeling the effects. I listen to the fire professionals. Its been very clear that years of drought that were seeing, whether its too much water or too much rain or too little, this is Climate Change. Mother nature is physics, biology, chemistry. She bats last and she bats a thousand. Thats the reality were facing, the smash mouth reality. This perfect storm. The debate is over around Climate Change. Just come to the state of california. Governor newsom will join other officials to brief about the fires. The president has been silent about the fires. Kamala harris heads back to her home state of california today. Smoke from the fires is making air quality there unhealthy. It can irhad i tate lungs, cause irritation and cause infections. More than 10 of oregons population is under evacuation order. Its all gone. It looks like a war zone hit it. False claims about the fires. Facebook has removed thousands of claims saying antifa started them. They are spending valuable resources knocking down these rumors. Paul bercammen is on the ground. Reporter christine, laura, im in arcadia. The foothills of los angeles. Scenes are being played out in the area. What theyre doing is getting plenty of water onto the fire as it burns towards these suburbs. Whats happened here, we have so many wildfires throughout the west, 30,000 firefighters in oregon, washington, california, neighboring states. They spread resources very, very thin. Theyve given evacuation orders. The neighbors understand part of the strategy is to keep the roads clear for fire engines and other important asperatus can get up and down the road. Youre not under the mandatory evacuation order. No. I understand why they do that. They dont want people in the way when the power goes off or dont want to shut off the gas. And with all of these fires, the air quality is just wretched. In many instances they can fight the fires only with helicopters. Its too dangerous to fly the planes. So over the next few days it feels like ground hogs day. They know the fire is lurking behind the canyons and hills. They cross their fingers and hope it doesnt come down. Reporting from arcadia. As if thats not enough. Now to the gulf coast where theyre bracing for another crisis, Tropical Storm sally. Could be a category 2 hurricane by the time it makes landfall tomorrow morning. Storm surges of up to 7 to 11 feet possible here. The warm waters in the gulf are helping the storms gain power. 18 of the warmest 19 years have occurred since 2001. Its not your imagination, this is happening a lot. More is in store. The governors of louisiana and mississippi declaring a state of emergency. Lets get the latest from meteorologist pedram javaheri. Good morning, we are watching Tropical Storm sally. Forecast to slow down as it goes into louisiana and mississippi. This is what were looking at this afternoon and evening. Notice the progression. Monday night, Tuesday Morning, potentially even into wednesday it can meander along the coast and push eastward towards alabama. Thats the concern. Could be a strong category one. When you see the amount of rainfall the system has forecast, thats the most concerning element. 15 to 20 inches possible over the next two to three days. The highs, upper 70s across okc. Denver, 90 degrees. Salt lake city aiming for a hot 92. President trump showing an utter disconnect with reality in some new audio of his interviews with bob woodward. Last week the president said he knew as early as february that the virus was deadly and admitted to concealing the true threat. Then just last month he told woodward this nothing more could have been done. Nothing more could have been done. Nothing more could have been done. Does he remember what he told me back in february about its more deadly than the flu . It almost took my breath away. Woodward also said the Deputy National security advisor warned in january this pandemic could be worse than the spanish flu. With many people anxious for a vaccine, pfizer said theres a good chance theyll know if their vaccine works by the end of october. I wanted to eliminate any strings. I didnt want any of that. I gave them an open book so they can worry about scientific sciences. Theres growing concerns about political interference. Trump appointed Communications Officials pushed to change language within the cdcs weekly science reports so they wouldnt undermine the president s political decision. Meanwhile, hardhit areas are trying to reopen again. Bars in florida are allowed to reopen at 50 capacity. The governor still hasnt released virus data in k12 schools. Ohio state canceling spring break 2021 due to coronavirus. They will have two instructional breaks and no classes on february 9th and march 31st. New York City ParksDepartment Officials ever working with nyu to address young people gathering. In Washington Square park 20 students have been suspended. President trumps offering a glaring new example of refusing to put science before politics. He had thousands of people packed into a large indoor rally sunday night in nevada. Defying the states ban on local gatherings of 50 or more people. Juxtapose that with this. Empty stadiums across the nfl for week one of football season. Here the president s last indoor rally in tulsa, oklahoma, that preceded a surge in coronavirus cases there. Listen to what a former white house medical advisor thinks of all of these rallies . Negligent homicide. What else could you call an act that because of its negligence results in the death of others. People will die as a consequence of this. The president did discuss the California Wildfires blaming them on forest management. Theres a wide range of responsibilities for maintaining these forests. All are affected by Climate Change which is raising temperatures, intensifying droughts and making it harder to control it. Oracle beats out microsoft to control u. S. Operations for tiktok. The president said it had to be sold to a u. S. Company. Microsoft had been discussing buying tiktok from bytedance. Sunday night microsofts offer to buy the app was rejected. Details about the agreement are still unclear. It was not described as an outright sale. Its unclear if the partnership will allow them to buy it.

The embattled leader of belarus in russia this morning as hes looking for help to cling to power following a disputed election. 100,000 people protested in the streets of minsk. Hundreds detained by police. Cnns Matthew Chance is live in moscow. Amazing to see the pictures from the street, matthew. Reporter yeah, it is. 100,000 people on the streets of the bellarussian capitol. Theyre facing an absolutely desperate situation. The election he won again marred by massive allegations of vote rigging. He lost the support, if he had any anyway, of the international community. He has one chance, to get the support of Vladimir Putin asking him to bail him out. Russians publicly have said, we support you. We recognize the legitimacy of your reelection. Putin has put a police force on standby to go into belarus to reestablish order. The big question is, whats the price the kremlin is going to want belarus to pay for that. Theres been a lot of talk about a closer unity of the two countries. At the same time, putin and the kremlin are painfully aware that these are not antirussian and by supporting lukashenko, they risk turning the streets of belarus against them. Its a difficult situation. Matthew chance in moscow. Thank you. Two l. A. County Sheriff Deputies critically shot over the weekend.

The ongoing fight for social justice a big part of sunday. Andy scholes is here and has what teams are doing around the league in this mornings bleacher report. Reporter good morning, christine. As part of the nfls new social justice initiatives, they were allowing players to wear messages on their helmets, they were playing lift every voice and sing, the black National Anthem, and the star spangled banner. Teams are really split on how they handle those pregame ceremoni ceremonies. Eight teams remaining in the locker rooms. Other teams saw players taking a knee, raising a fist, locking arms. Here br i am, all people locked arms and one person took a knee, that was the coach. We thought it was a unique way to express what needs to be done. Someone like myself, a white player, would neil out of a statement not out of defiance, but humility to acknowledge that some work needs to be done, that we cant leave things the way they are. Now matt ryan and Russell Wilson speaking before the game and they decided their teams would both take a knee together on the field right after kickoff in order to protest social injustice. George floyds family was on hand at the vikings game. The team honoring floyd before the game with a Video Tribute and then by not blowing the vikings horn. Colin kaepernick not impressed what he was seeing. While the nfl runs propaganda about how they care about black lives, they are still actively black balling eric reid. Reed was the first player to neil with kaepernick. He played for the panthers the last two seasons but remains unsigned. Terry poe, the only Dallas Cowboys player to neil for the National Anthem last night. A controversial offensive pass interferns, its the first game at eye phi stadium. From there it was all drew brees and the saints. They would go on to win 3423. Finally want to show you this. Baltimore ravens unveiling a new section dedicated to mo gaba. Huge ravens fan.
