La fitness which is on the other side, about 21 people officially now are injured or were wounded, only two of them very serious, one of them was a child but when people, fire teams and Police Officers all responded on the scene, they said people were all over the place, we did just have about 30 minutes ago press update with the deputy fire chief in plantation, florida, confirmed that the state fire marshal was here and ultimately he said they were absolutely amazed that the injuries were not more and more serious than what they were, lets take a listen to some sound we have prepared, go ahead. When we arrived we found patients scattered all about debris area, we are relieved, considering how we found patients and where we found them, the injuries are not as severe as we thought they would be, we are thankful for that. So show you the massive perimeter of debris, 100yard radius in all directions, i spoke with the Woman Working not too far away in chevron, its not being called a bomb, its not called a crime, it does appear that the working theory it was a natural gas explosion, however, alcohol, tobacco and firearms are in fact, on the scene, she said the windows rattled, the witness i was talking to, the windows rattled, people could feel it from reportedly 2 miles away, big, big explosion, it truly is amazing when you look at the aerials that it was not more significant when it comes to fatalities or injuries, so the good news is nobody was killed at this point, there was one level one trauma that was taken to the hospital but this all happened about 4 hours ago just before noon down here in Broward County, agencies from all over the county even down in miami are all on the scene, so they did an initial search through all buildings behind me, we found no people trapped by debris, they are now doing a secondary research and, of course, as you could see the rain has now started making efforts for the Fire Department and Police Officers a little more challenging but 4 hours after this happened, no reports of anybody being trapped or wounded and cant get out, you would think that you would have heard about rescues by now, but all of the wounded were taken to nearby hospitals, most of the wounds and injuries based on the fire, deputy fire chief was basically what you would see during an explosion, flying glass, flying debris, back to you in new york. Arthel phil keating, we will take it back here, thank you. Fox news alert, Southern California reeling from back to back earthquakes. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my gosh. A 7. 1 magnitude, the temblor proceeded by 6. 4 the day before, the strongest to hit california area in two decades cracking building, damaging roads and sparking fires, experts warn more aftershocks could come in the days and weeks away, Jonathan Hunt live in ridgecrest, california with more, hi, jonathan. Good evening to you too, two earthquakes and yet miraculously minimal damage here, that really is striking as you drive into ridgecrest, looks like it looked 36, 48 hours ago, very hard to find any damage, thats not to say there wasnt any, reported jeff paul out in the middle of the night after 7. 1 earthquake last night and got this video of fires at nearby Mobile Home Park, firefighters also turned up this morning to mop up the damage that was done, but even though there was no real, physical damage to any great extent, there have been damage done to the psych of residents caught in very large earthquakes, listen here. I just thank to creator to protect us right now because we are in a crisis, we see in the movies but we never thought it would hit here. My body wont stop trembling, im walking but my body is trembling and when the aftershocks come, it damaged me more. Another vivid display of fear caused by earthquakes caught on the cell phone of our producer dan who has taken a wellearned break at restaurant last night when the 7. 1 hit, you can hear and see people screaming and rushing out of the restaurant simply terrified, dan put it to me that that might actually be the end, thankfully it wasnt for anybody there, and there have been no major injuries as a result of these two earthquakes, still, the fire chief warns that everybody should remain alert, listen here. Through time the buildings are going to get weaker, maybe its not a 7. 1 next time but maybe its, you know, lower, and with that there could be more damage just because structures have weakened and so we need to be vigilant and the community of ridgecrest now, its been several hours i would say, mike, since we felt any aftershocks right here, but i can tell you this, no one in ringcrest is going to rest easy tonight, mic. Our hearts go out to people in ridgecrest, thank god it was not a 7. 1 in downtown los angeles, Jonathan Hunt, thank you so much. Arthel. Arthel joe biden doing some damage control, the former Vice President apologizing for his past comments about working with segregationists, but at the same time he is also defending his overall civil rights record, mr. Biden making the statement during a Campaign Event in South Carolina, the state is an early president ial voting contest where African Americans are a key demographic, jackie joins us live from new york news room. Joe biden has had a lot of ground to take back, comments on working with segregationist and senator harris used the window of opportunity to cut into his voting record and the polls show that its had a damaging effect, today the former vp is trying to stop the Snowball Effect tackling issue head on and at the event in North Carolina he defended record that theres a reason why the countrys first black president selected him to be the vp but biggest highlight was rare apology. [inaudible] im sorry for pain. Two polls out this week show biden in the lead with harris in second place following miami debate and reason Washington Post abc new poll black voters refer biden to harris, they are both angling hard for support. Kamala harris is creeping up African American voters, the majority in Democrat Party and therefore her performance against joe biden especially on a racial issue like busing that has prompted more folks to taking a second look at her. Harris today appealed to minority voters announcing a plan to close the racial wealth gap at Essence Festival, she said after generations of discrimination black families need pledge at ownership and pledged a 100 billion to help with down payments an closing costs. Taking these steps we can shrink the wealth black between black and white household by at least onethird but we cannot bridge the racial wealth gap just by addressing historical inequities. Senators booker and warren along with beto orourke are also heading to the Essence Festival, arthel. Arthel great festival, by the way. All right, jacqui, thank you. Iran ready to enrich uranium, this comes a couple of days after the british navy seized iranian oil tanker, kitty logan in london with the latest, hi, katie. Iran expect today slightly increase uranium enrichment, of course, thats in breach of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, now, already on saturday iranian official delivered that message essentially in a statement saying the country is ready to start enriching more uranium, tehran says this is needed, of course, the concern is that if iran starts to increase uranium production that could eventually become nearly enough for a Nuclear Weapon, however, iran says it does not want to withdraw from this nuclear deal altogether, the u. S. Pulled out of that deal a year ago, but 6 other countries do remain committed to it, so far britain is one of the backers of that iran deal, but right now its involved with the standup of its own with iran after marines seized iranian oil tanker, allegedly trying to take oil to syria, thats in breach of eu sanctions and now iranian commander threatening to retaliate in response by seizing a british ship, now, amid all the rising tensions with iran, of course, the u. S. Still has an Aircraft Carrier out in the gulf, thousands of additional fleets in the region too and dont forget last month iran shut down u. S. Drone which it claimed had strayed into air space, what we are expecting tomorrow is details of the changes in the Nuclear Agreement, this, of course, mike is lightly to further fuel tensions between the u. S. And iran, back to you. Im looking at bulletin from reuters saying that french president Emmanuel Macron has agreed to look at talks with the Iranian Regime so this may buy more time, more negotiation, kitty, thank you so much, arthel. Mass deportations are happening, quote, fairly soon, thats what President Trump is threatening but stopping short of calling them raids, ellison barber is in berkeley heights, new jersey nearby bedminster where the president is spending the weekend, hi, ellison. Hi, arthel, when President Trump announced that delay House Speaker nancy pelosi said it was welcome news, she also said that time is needed in order for them to get something done on comprehensive immigration reform, President Trump seems to be sticking to twoweek deadline. They came illegally and we are bringing them out legally, these are people where we have the papers, weve got through the court system, theyll be starting fairly soon, but i dont call them raids, removing people that have come in all of these years, come in illegally, we are removing them and bringing them back to their country. Democrats say all of this is evidence President Trump does not want a solution referring instead to use the situation at the border and issues with the immigration system as political slaughter. This is a serious problem that requires bipartisan effort to come to solutions for the American Public and for the people who are seeking asylum, so i wish that we could have a real serious conversation, i dont think from my perspective the president really wants a solution, he likes to stir people. Speaker pelosi reportedly called President Trump directly last month to talk about the raids not long after that the president announced the twoweek delay, he said he was doing it at the request of democrats to see if democrats and republicans could get together to fix what he called the asylum and loophole problem at the southern border, if they failed, he said deportations would begin, an operation in cities miami, new york, los angeles and San Francisco targeting some 2,000 undocumented families, that is the rate or at least one of the raids we know that was delayed. Ice Officials Say that all of the people they were planning to target in this raid or in any raid that they do have removal papers, though, most of them according to various reports, many of these 2,000 undocumented families, those removal orders were issued, a lot of them after missed court dates, arthel . Okay, thank you, ellison barber, mike. Arthel, new report of what could be aggravating factor at southern border, whats happening in Homeland Security, straight ahead. Were the slowskys. We like drip coffee, layovers and waiting on hold. What we dont like is relying on fancy technology for help. Snail mail we were invited to a y2k party. Uh, didnt that happen, like, 20 years ago . Oh, look, karolyn, weve got a mathematician on our hands check it out now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. Todays xfinity service. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Id rather not. Arthel welcome back, despite growing sent men thats theres a crisis in the border, whats not brewing is the top jobs at the department of Homeland Security, nonpartisan partnership says dhs now has the lowest percentage of Senate Confirmed president ial appointments of any agency in the federal government at just 41 , compareson of key cabinet positions Show Department of energy at 96 , Veterans Affairs 83, defense 75 and state with 70. With more lets bring in david, u. S. Political editor at dailymail. Com, david, thank you. Thank you, arthel. Arthel how are the vacancies and temporary topranking positions at the dhs impacting the Immigration Crisis at the border . Honestly i really dont think they are very much, lost in all of this is Homeland Security department has fewer than a dozen and half senate confirmable positions to begin with, you have top people acting administrators but i dont think that makes a big difference, they are doing the job and the one position that i think has been in limbo helpful to get through is Inspector General, trump nominated somebody last november, made through committee in march, waiting almost 4 months for senate floor vote, honestly blame Mitch Mcconnell for that one but there arent that many to begin with. Arthel ninth Circuit Court of appeals blocked the president from using 2. 5 billion from Defense Department to build the wall, basically rubber stamping a ruling by a lower court that ruled President Trump cannot reallocate funds without congressional approval, now, the president says this is all political, is it . Well, i think any time you see something making its way through the ninth circuit on the back of president ial order its almost always political when its a republican president , this would ultimate i will go to Supreme Court, i would say likely the Supreme Court will side with the president on this one, hes not asking to pick up a giant chunk of the Defense Departments budget and give it to Homeland Security, believe this or not, the argument is that the Defense Department, the reservists and all the soldiers at the bord need protections themselves, barriers to protect them which also have the side benefit of keeping illegal aliens, i think it will pass legal muster ultimately. Meanwhile the facebook pages spearheaded by some customs and Border Patrol agents, pages containing incentive, derogatory and lewd posts including jokes about migrants deaths and congressman alexandria ocasiocortez, aoc, targeted of sexual violent post, cbp officials told members of congress the agency didnt know anything about the Facebook Groups, but now it has come to light that the cbp agencies or official did know about at least one of the groups, david, how does this even happen . Some people are just horrible people, what we know how many are current cbp agents or other officials, if you look at fine print from the news stories, you can be a retired agent, parttime former agent and be part of it, i think if any current or former government officials are involved in degrading things they should be out on their butts tomorrow, fired, the reality democrats in some committees will then defend the Public Sector unions desire to keep them in jobs, a lot of this is show beating, the cbp people im talking to, very quietly, look, we knew the groups existed but we never suspected a lot of actual working agents were behind them, so theres nothing they can do to penalize a retiree and thats where we will wind up. Arthel lets look at kind of review the tasks at hand, to weed tout bad actors at cbp, you are saying most are retired, others are currently saying we dont know, Mitch Mcconnell hasnt called a vote on Inspector General who could investigate it credibly. If they are currently employed, then we have to rule out the bad people, clean up the horrendous conditions, speed up asylum process and plug the porous border, does the Trump Administration have the will and wherewithal to tackle all of the above . Working in trumps favor right now i think is you have an election coming up and the more of the Horror Stories that come up, the question is are democrats going win the battle of ideas and propaganda war by saying its all trumps fault even though conditions go back to Obama Administration or trump will win the battle, look, if democrats would simply help us plug holes at the border most of the people wont be here in the first place, fix it where you live philosophy. I think the Trump Administration can make a stronger case in usaid, some programs that help people before they come here. Some of the conditions in the photos, some of the migrant areas and detention facilities are awful but i just got back recently from a week in africa, most of the kids there are living in conditions that would make these kinds of things look nice by comparison. Arthel thats africa. We are talking about people being held at the bo
