russia is actively working to meddle in the 2022 elections. the new tactics despite the warning a few weeks ago. and pushed to the limit. nurses are so overwhelmed by what they re seeing in hospitals some are walking off the job just to protect their mental health. one nurse is with us live. talking about why he decided it was time to step away. take a nice deep breath. you made it to the weekend. saturday, august 14th. thank you so much for waking up with us. hey, boris. good morning, christi. always great to be with you. we do start with some somber news, though. the united states now leading the world with the highest rate of new covid cases. just in the month of august alone, the country reported more than 1.5 million new cases of covid-19. and we re seeing more severe cases of covid-19 in this latest wave. we have to point out it s predominantly in the south. eight states, you see them there, now account for more than half of the covid hospitalizations nationwi
point we don t know the exact death toll. this video just into cnn shows some of the damage on the island there, buildings collapsed into rubble, streets covered in debris. the prime minister is headed to some of the hardest-hit areas now. this could be a massive test for the new leader that took office after the shocking assassination of the president last month. joining us, patrick ottman, an and allison chinchar. what are you hearing about the impact of the outbreak? reporter: as each hour passes by, we see new harrowing images, new accounts of dead pulled from rubble, seeing images of people being treated in the open air because there s still aftershocks and many buildings collapsed in the earthquake. the prime minister said not only is he going to be traveling to the effected zone, the hardest-hit areas of the peninsula southwest of port-au-prince, he is calling on the government to put all of the haitian government resources into treating the wounded and recovering th
well, first and foremost, the practice has to come to an end. all of our students should be able to be included in all of the classrooms. and there shouldn t be a designated black class period. the second thing is, it s concerning to me that in addition to this, we ve had other issues with the local administration at the school that are concerning. because we raised these concerns, it was an onslaught of retaliation from on my family. and i feel as if there was, from the local school, there was no from the principal specifically, there was no remorse. this was something that she wanted to do, her personal vendetta. and unfortunately that s not what aps is paying her to do. there are rules and there are policies and procedures that she is to follow. and unfortunately that was not done and i think that because the administrative team, the assistant principal, the math coach and the lit coach were all aware of this practice and it was confirmed by the a.p. as well as top s
