it is 5:00 a.m. and with daylight will come more of a sense of damage and countless homes have been destroyed. but in the middle of all that devastation, we re often seeing inspiring scenes like this, a local reporter saving ae iing ad nurse who was pleading for help. he had to carry theoryher to sa his back. pawleys island, the storm washed parts of the pier away. authorities are still assessings damage and working to restore power. and brian todd is in naples, florida with a closer look at the damage there. nothing left. zero. the full extent of hurricane ian s destruction now coming fully into view. aerial damage assessments showing coastal florida neighborhoods with roofing tore off, homes flattened, house either flooded or wiped out. some buildings with nothing left but the concrete slab. remote lotions locations cut of the mainland. these images showing how hard sanibel was hit. only way to access that is either by sea or by air. reporter: so far more than 700
The gunman. President trump calls to arm nations teachers and also slams the deputy who was on duty. What he did, he trained his whole life. Theres an example. When it came time to get in there and do something, he didnt have the courage or something happened, but he certainly did a poor job. Good day. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. A lot of news today. Thanks for joining us. Breaking news, another bombshell in special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation. A source familiar with the proceedings telling us that former Trump Campaign aide rick gates is expected to plead guilty today, an indication gates is cooperating with the special counsel. This comes a day after Robert Mueller filed a 32count indictment against both gates and former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort, charging both men with additional crimes,
number of counts, some limited conduct that would vastly reduce his prison exposure. We believe this plea is happening in washington, d. C. As you mentioned, there
gains. perhaps while not in this stage entirely complete, certainly causing a degree of panic among pro-russian commentators. essentially once the thousand russian troops in that town are fully encircled they may have to surrender and it may have a rolling impact back towards luhansk. that s one of the four areas that vladimir putin now said is part of russia. indeed as it were in standing, that speech from the kremlin at times divorced from the reality how poorly russian forces are doing on the ground. we heard today that the death toll from one of the more startling acts of russian brutality over the past weeks a rocket strike outside the town of zaporizhzhia, which hit a civilian convoy of people trying to deliver aid to occupied areas. that death toll has risen to 30. and 88 people, utterly staggering, frankly, that in an area on thursday night russia
indictments, laying out exactly, you know, by name, which russians did what things. we don t have the equivalent in the case of what appears to be a human intelligence operation. so, you kind of have to guess. you talk to intelligence sources. some folks, some of these people do have sort of documented russian intelligence connections. others just seem to be well-connected russians. and you know, the way russia works, they re often businessmen with very close ties to the kremlin who can operate on behalf of the kremlin at times, but we don t have certainty in any of these cases. so, scott, the root of this plot to interfere in the american elections, clearly, it begins at some point with vladimir putin s desire to restore russia to its past glory that he still revels in.
work on the campaign. it s about their work in ukraine. but their work in ukraine was for a pro-putin government. a pro-putin despot, really, and he worked very closely with deraposhka. reminder of who that is? another wealthy russian oligarch who is very close to president putin and the kremlin, does a great deal of business with and for the kremlin at times. paul manafort had a long business relationship with him that eventually went sour and at the time manafort joined the trump campaign, he was in millions of dollars of debt to him. i want to point out one thing from this criminal information that s been filed which i have been trying to read quickly. what gates is going to apparently admit to is a false statement made to mueller s investigators on february 1st of this year. extremely odd. that would seem to be when he went in and made his proffer, he went in and had this queen for the day interview where you go
