Available to stream on and max good morning, everyone. Welcome to cnn this morning it is sunday, may 5th. Im amara walker. Im victor blackwell. It is always a pleasure to be with you. Thank you for being with us. Heres what were watching for you. Two feet of rain in parts of texas have flooded home stranded people on rooves and 30 entire neighborhoods into rivers and there is more rain on the way. The warnings from officials as more wet weather moves in, police and protesters clashed during a propalestinian demonstration at the University Of Virginia, the school is now responding to that altercation. What were hearing from minister later, there are reports of progress, but no breakthrough as Ceasefire Talks continue between israel and hamas, where Negotiation Stay in as israels Government Faces increasing pressure to bring those hostages home. And the cicadas are here and theres a good chance you will hear them before you see them, well explain later on cnn this morning, well, millions across texas or bracing for another round of punishing, whether parts of Southeast Texas have seen almost two feet of rain over just the past five days rivers in Harris County, which includes houston, reached levels not seen since Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Harris county officials issued mandatory evacuations for communities near the san jacinto river, no deaths or serious injuries have been reported, but more than 200 people were rescued from homes and vehicles the water was about this much below power lines we have families that thankfully had evacuated, had heated, our call. Weve not heard of any deaths are serious injuries cnns rosa flores, reports from one of houstons heavily damaged neighborhoods amara victor, well, its very emotional and just devastating for the individuals who are in the areas that are inundated by water, i want to show you around because this street literally goes to an area that they call river bottom. But of course right now, you really cant drive through this area because its been swallowed by water. Now, back there, theres probably eight to 15 people that have refused to evacuate. Thats according to a neighbor, but take a look around. You can see that there are some mobile homes out there and they can see also the water level here on this fence. And it really gives you a sense of the the height of the water and the water level. And from the trees you can see that some of the water has receded. Thats the good news, but the bad news is, is that more water is expected. I talked to the owner of this mobile host stacey smith. She says that she has been trying to convince the 18 to 15 people who refuse to evacuated. She said that shes trying to find boats to go out there now, authorities have stopped by that area to try to convince these individuals to evacuated, but they just dont want to evacuate tickling the ones that didnt want to come right now. Were going to go back and get with a personal boat and were going to go get everybody. Were not leaving nobody behind because theyre like our family. Theyre like family down there now, what you hear in the background is an air bone. There are still rest excuse that are being conducted. You might see it in the background here now, to put this into perspective according to the Houston Office of Emergency Management, only a few hundred homes are being impacted in in the houston area at this time. Now, that could increase those numbers could grow, but they are telling individuals were in the Evacuation Zones please evacuate because they describe this, Weather Event as lifethreatening amara viktor, rosa flores reporting for us there. Lets bring it now. Cdn, cnn meteorologist allison chinchar, still active warnings right now obviously more rain on the way. Yeah. Weve got a very heavy line of rain actually moving in towards the houston area as we speak, pushing into the Western Suburbs now should be moving through downtown here about an hour or so. And yes, impacting a lot of those northern suburb communities that were hit so hard the last few days, you can see all of these Flash Flood Warnings thats the red boxes there. And then the ovary for all flood watch. Thats the green and youll notice that extends into oklahoma and areas of arkansas as well, because texas isnt the only area that has the potential for the flooding today. Its just that the focal point really is that houston greater area, just because of how much rain has already fallen, any still on the ground now, were going to be adding a several more inches on top of that thats youve got that first round this morning. The second wave will start to file in late this afternoon and into the evening hours. And both of them, not just the round this morning, but also the Afternoon Round also has the potential for some severe thunderstorms. The good news is by this evening, we will finally start to see an end to the rain and hopefully dry out here for the next several days. Talked about the severe potential that does include southern texas. It also stretches into louisiana, arkansas, and portions of mississippi were talking large hail damaging winds and the potential for some tornadoes. The interesting thing here is yesterday, we had an official confirmed tornado marking ten Straight Days that brings our total up to 224 total reports of tornadoes so for the last few days, and then even more is expected as we head into monday with another round of Severe Weather as well. Thats concerning. All right. Allison chinchar. Thank you so much. And coming up later, were gonna be talking to someone from the Houston Office of Emergency Management i met for an update on where things stand this morning Graduation Ceremonies at colleges and universities across the us are happening while propalestinian protests continue during the University Of Michigans main commencement, several propalestinian protesters were removed after briefly interrupting the ceremony on saturday okay a smaller ceremony held friday was also interrupted the University Of Virginia is the latest campus where clashes broke out between protesters and law enforcement. 25 people were arrested after police confronted demonstrators and tore down their encampment cnns Polo Sandoval has more hey, amara, in victor, yesterdays class came after propalestinian demonstrators maintained a presence on the uva campus for days. In fact, they were even actively engaged in conversations with the university. However, it was until those tense came up that the university then reached out to police to take action. And this is what happened. This video, you can see officers advancing steadily on a group removing umbrellas and tense at one point, you had been see some sort of smoke or missed up in the air. Now its still unclear if any sort of chemical agent was deployed. Uva and cabin for gaza claiming that it was tear gassed but Campus Police not responding to our requests to verify that claim. The department of safety and security at the university did announce that it was an Unlawful Assembly on saturday afternoon. A couple of hours later, they declared the situation to be in their words Stable University did respond to a request for comment from cnn saying that it had informed the participants repeatedly that the ten policies are in place and that these sort of tents were set up, violated, said policy, and thats what initially prompted the university to respond, but really wider picture. This just reminds us that uva is really just the latest university were tensions between protesters and the police have resulted in some confrontation. We do not have any reports of any injuries though during the uva instead of victor ammar Polo Sandoval. Thank you. Student protests stood up. Protesters, i should say, stood up and walked out of Indiana Universitys Graduation Ceremony on saturday. Cnns whitney wild is in bloomington, indiana with more here at Indiana University. What we saw was dozens of students stand up as Indiana University president , Pamela Witton began speaking and well, it did not disrupt the ceremony. People that we spoke to who were inside Memorial Stadium here on blooming ten said that they could at least here are the protest, are understanding based on those conversations as well as social media video, is that the students stood up, made this audible protests, and then walked out it was a big question here. It to what Degree Protests might disrupt the ceremony if at all, for two reasons. The first is because Indiana University i had Setup A Protest Zone outside Memorial Stadium, but also because they have had pretty robust protests here in bloomington. It was an april that 33 students were arrested at Indiana University and a propalestine protest. And what weve seen all across the country as at schools that have seen those protests in many cases have seen disruptions to their ceremonies for example, at the University Of Michigan propalestine protesters were able to actually disrupt the ceremony briefly before they were escorted out by Michigan State police. So again, that was the big question. Here. At iu in bloomington, indiana 41,000 people inside that stadium. And our understanding is that just dozens of students stood up again as the president was speaking, and then filed out. It was audible, but it was not disruptive. Whitney wild, cnn, bloomington, indiana. Thank you for the report. While Donald Trumps criminal trial takes a break for the weekend, the former president headed to florida for the Republican National committees Spring Retreat and the trump ramped up his attacks on democrats even compared president Bidens Administration to the gestapo. He also took the time to rail against the prosecutors behind in his 88 criminal indictments and praised a former illinois governor convicted of corruption. Cnns Alayna Treene is in palm beach, florida high, their alaina tell us what happened at this event well, it was a 90 minute speech that donald trump gave at his Maralago Club on saturday. And im told that it was a pretty profanity laden speech. The former president cursed on occasion while railing against the former excuse me special counsel, jack smith and as well as others who are leveling their criminal indictments against him. And youre right. At one point in the speech, donald trump had even and he compared the Biden Administration to the gestapo further trying to equate them to nazi germany. Now, donald trump also to use the speech to lavished praise on some of his Vice President ial contenders, including many of them who actually called up to the stage. People like jd vance, tim, scott, douglas burgum, elise stefanik, a lot of people that we know are currently on his shortlist to become his running mate, even though while i talked to his advisers, they insist that he has no plans and to announce his running mate anytime soon. They say that decision will come closer to the Republican National convention in july. Now you mentioned there as well that he also called up former illinois governor rod blagojevich, someone who was sent to prison on corruption charges, that that sentence the donald trump while president muted that i actually spoke with blagojevich on the sidelines of the event this weekend. And he told me that he describes himself as a trump a crack, a trump democrat. So a lot of interesting characters at this event, this week, i know i also just want to give you some insight into some of the other things that were happening at the Republican National committee retreat this weekend . At one point Donald Trumps cocampaign managers, Chris Lacivita and susie wiles, as well as his pollster Tony Fabrizio walked the group through their reasoning sent fundraising numbers. They said that they raise 76. 2 million in april. Of course, we cant independently verify those numbers because the fec reports will drop to later this month, but they said they were very happy to see that kind of progress. And of course, all of that comes and the context here is that one of the main events this maralago luncheon where donald trump im spoke and the rnc retreat even more broadly, was really used as a Key Fundraising Opportunity for the Trump Campaign. Theyve been aggressively trying close the gap app with biden campaign, which ever growing more trust continues to elude the Trump Campaign as they tried to catch up with them. And so thats really what lot of this weekend was about with donald trump at this event, trying to get many donors to give him money at one point, he actually called up some people and said, if you give me 1 million, you can take the podium and two people actually decided to do that. And so he was surrounded by his supporters and really aggressively trying to raise money this weekend, viktor amara never adult moment Alayna Treene. Thanks so much.
