Criminal indictment looms. And have you seen this video . The violent free for all on the waterfront. Police are expected to reveal more about this Alabama Dock Brawl just hours from now. A lot to get to. Good morning and welcome to our viewers in the u. S. And around the world. Im rahel solomon. People from new york to mississippi are cleaning up after a deadly storm hit the east coast with heavy rain, thunder and raging winds up to 70 miles per hour. The high winds and falling trees smashed buildings and tore the roofs off of some homes. Two young men were killed. A 28 was hit by lightning in a parking lot and in anderson, South Carolina, a 15yearold died when a falling tree hit him and he is got out of his car. Neighbors say the power of the storm at that moment was just breathtaking. The rain was literally sideways. Trees, Limbs Ohitting your trucs and you are driving. One of the worst ive seen. If it wasnt a tornado, it had to be awfully close. I just feel for them. They are wonderful neighbors. I just cant imagine going through what they are going through. Also 1600 flights were canceled in the u. S. Monday and there are almost 400,000 customers without power right now on the east coast. Lets bring in derek van dam, he is live in the cnn weather center. This storm really seemed to come out of nowhere, developed quickly and with surprising power. Yeah, Hurricane Force gusts in fact some reports over 75mileperhour. But what is most astounding to me, we have over 600 reports of Severe Weather including one confirmed tornado with the number likely to go up. But look at that, over 500 reports of wind damage and wind reports. Mine this, is blanketing much of the eastern sea board, some of the heaviest Populated Areas of the United States. And so anywhere from atlanta to the Nations Capital and outside new york city. Threat diminishins the east coast. In arkansas there is a severe Thunderstorm Watch until about 8 00 a. M. Central time. And by the way, some hefty storms moving through Oklahoma City as we speak. So the threat today largely across the plains. And the deep south, this is the remnants of the cold front. Jackson, mississippi to tallahassee, florida. Isolated damaging wind gusts, large hail and cant rule out a possibility of a tornado as well. Several flareups of thunderstorms expected over the eastern half of the country. We also have a flash flood threat. Remember, go back a couple of weeks and we had flooding across much of northern new england. Now we get additional rain on top of very saturated soils. So the potential there exists for some flooding. Weather Prediction Center has a level three of four, that is a moderate risk and that includes much of New Hampshire and central sections of maine. That slight risk extends all the way to boston by the way. And National Weather service picking up on that, flash flood watches in effect through the day today as a few showers and thunderstorms from the cold front that brought Severe Weather continues to move through. So very tumultuous past 24 hours. If it hasnt been the rain, it has been the heat. Feels like it has been an intense summer. Derek van dam, thank you. More republicans are being called in by prosecutors who are building evidence into two separate investigations in to donald trump. Ber Bernard Kerik oand his lawyers speaking monday. And jeff duncan received a subpoena to testify before the Fulton County grand jury investigating trumps alleged Election Interference. All of this a sign that trumps legal troubles appear to be growing deeper by the day. Paula reid has more. Reporter in washington, cnn reporting exclusively that former new York Police Commissioner bernie kerik talked to Special Counsel investigators. Mostly about all the efforts in between the election and january 6 of what the Giuliani Team is doing. Reporter the meeting is the first Known Investigative Step since the Special Counsels office filed charges against former President Trump last week. Keriks attorney Tim Parlatore saying he doesnt think that Rudy Giuliani will be indicted. Not a chance. Reporter also trumps lawyers arguing in a new court filing that they shouldnt be restricted from talking publicly about some evidence in the Election Interference probe. The press and the American People in a Campaign Season have a right to know what the evidence is in this case. Reporter while socalled protective orders arent unusual, prosecutors say that it is especially important in this case because of trumps public statements. And how they could have a Chilling Effect like this recent social media post that read if you go after me, im coming after you. Trump also lashing out specifically at his former Vice President who could become a witness at trial. Calling him delusional and not a very good person. Pence saying that he would testify if asked. People can be confident that well obey the law, well respond to the call of the law if it comes. And well just tell the truth. Reporter trump even attacking jack smith at a fundraiser in South Carolina just days after his second arrest and arraignment in Federal Court on the case brought by the Special Counsel. Jack smith is a deranged human being. Reporter trumps legal team testing out their defense in the court of Public Opinion including arguing that what trump did was covered by the first amendment. There was no fraudulent conspiracy. That is part of the really different defense. Biden said in November 2022 that he wanted to see President Trump prosecuted and taken out of this race. Reporter but the defenses were quickly rebutted by some of trumps former top allies. Former attorney general bill barr drawing a line between speech and conspiracy. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy. All conspiracies involve speech. Reporter the trump team also bracing for a fourth indictment in as many months. This time coming out of Fulton County, georgia. Yeah, i think that we can expect it. Reporter where the former Lieutenant Governor just got subpoenaed in that grand jury investigation. And District Attorney fani willis is getting ready to announce possible charges against trump for his actions in georgia around the 2020 election. I took an oath and that oath requires that i follow the law and that if someone broke the law in Fulton County, that i have a duty to prosecute and that is what i plan to do. Reporter cnn observing additional security for judge tanya chutkan, she is the judge overseeing the trump prosecution related to january 6 here in washington, d. C. She is also the judge who will rule on that protective order and it is unclear when she will make that decision. Paula reid, cnn, washington. Now to the Missile Strikes in ukraine. Seven people were killed overnight, at least 81 others injured, this is after two russian strikes on the city. Clare sebastian is live with the latest. It is midday now in that region. What more are Officials Saying . Reporter yeah, a second day now rescue efforts are ongoing. Were told that they have to take a pause overnight because of the threat of shelling. But the scale of the destruction is extreme. Some 2,000 windows were blown out, some 12 multistory buildings affected including a hotel and restaurant that were popular were told with journalists who had visited the area. This was a double Missile Attack using what ukrainian Officials Say were russian missiles. It happened around 30 to 40 minutes apart in the early evening of monday. And the reason why this kind of attack is so destructive is because you have one missile that strikes and then rescuers, Police Officers move in and the second missile hits and you can see from the injury toll were getting exactly what is happens. They say some 31 Police Officer, accept rescuer, four service men were among the injured, one high ranking individual Emergency Service also among the seven killed. So in this dounetsk region, thi has been on the edge of this conflict really for the past decade when russian backed separatists were fighting in that region. But i think that even for a town like this, this was these are startling image as. This was a new level of violence. As. This was a new level of violence. S. This was a new level of violence. And im looking at the video. And even a year into the war, images are startling to say the least. Thank you, clare. Back here in the u.
