That means pennsylvania officials can still count ballots cast by election day and received within three days. In North Carolina, ballots can be accepted up to nine days after election day. In both states, republicans had sued to block the extensions. If you are one of those Americans Still holding on to an absentee ballot and have yet to fill it out and send it in, officials across the country are now urging you to fill it out and drop it off at an elections location or in one of those ballot drop boxes or to just vote in person instead.

Hurricane zeta has killed at least three people with high winds, heavy rain and ten feet of storm surge in some areas. That includes this casino parking lot in mississippi where some cars were inundated. Reporter zeta made landfall in louisiana as a category 2 hurricane. Packing winds up to 110 miles an hour. Destroying this trailer and damaging so much more. Overnight, more than half a Million People were without power across the state. The storm inundated some areas with flash flooding, sheered the awning off a gas station, blue a buildings wall open and caused an apartments wall to collapse injuring one person inside. We have since lost one of our residents. Reporter the mayor of new orleans warned people to let safety officials assess the damage after one person died touching a downed power line.

Theres a window and bricks from this wall now on the ground. Zeta was the 27th named storm of an unrelenting hurricane season. Another concern now, the president ial election. Louisianas governor said polling places will be prioritized for power, and President Trump has already approved disaster declarations for louisiana and mississippi. Boy, danya, those pictures really tell the story. So much to deal with at this time. Thank you very much. The surge in coronavirus cases is taking a very heavy toll, especially in the midwest. The u. S. Recorded nearly 79,000 new cases yesterday. The number of deaths rose by nearly 1,000. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is now in st. Paul, minnesota. David, good morning to you. Youve talked to doctors across the midwest. What are they saying to you . Gayle, i spoke to a doctor here at a hospital in st. Paul who treats Covid Patients in the icu. His son treats Covid Patients going into hospice care and his daughter is also treating Covid Patients. The elder doctor says, i dont know what else to do to get through to people who dont believe the virus is real. He said, david, when people are diagnosed with cancer and they dont believe the diagnosis, it doesnt have the potential to harm other people. But coronavirus does, and it is spreading rampantly across the midwest. From the great plains to the great lakes, hospitals continue to warn that the surge of new coronavirus cases is pushing their resources to the limit. The latest example is right here in st. Paul, minnesota. Dr. Avi nahum says his hospital is seeing more than 100 coronavirus patients every day and doctors are exhausted trying to keep up. Have you found yourself lacking some empathy for people . I have caught myself feeling that way and pushed it aside because i have to take care of the patient. And why do you feel that way initially . Because it is difficult to realize that somebody who doesnt believe in it is putting other people at risk. Reporter the pandemic is pushing Restaurant Owners like paddy whelan to make tough decisions. Hell close his bar until the spring because hes not going to be able to use his outdoor patio to safely serve customers. I cant fight something thats invisible. You know what i mean . If i could take covid out in an alley and give it a left hook, i would. Reporter the virus continues to claim lives like 65yearold sharon hunt, a retired schoolteacher from millford, ohio, just outside cincinnati. She was hospitalized with coronavirus at the end of august. She never came home from the hospital. She died september 25th. We spoke to her son and daughterinlaw jeremy and christina hunt, who say many people in their own Community Still do not believe the virus is even real. When they go around and say, its less than 1 . When that less than 1 is your mother or your sister or your nana, or your friend or your teacher, it opens your eyes. This isnt a percentage. Its somebodys family member. Ms. Hunts family tells us they believe she contracted the virus from a therapist who was coming into her home to treat her. And, gayle, its notable. Hunts family says her husband was one of the people who didnt believe the virus. He went on the local news saying he thought the virus was a hoax. But now that his wife died from it, he very much believes it and takes every precaution to protect himself. He even has a lung disease and is one of the most vulnerable. So many layers to that story. Its a shame it has to hit home for some people to finally get it. I love paddy whelans response. If we could all take covid in the alley and give it a left hook. We would all try. We would all do that. People have to take this seriously. David beg naud, thank you again. The wave of new cases in europe is forcing france and germany to go back into lockdown. Frances president said last night the new spike would be harder and deadlier than the first. Germanys chancellor said this morning that the countrys hospitals could be overwhelmed in a few weeks. Elizabeth palmer has more. Reporter enjoying the last few hours of freedom with friends, parisians watched their president deliver the bad news. Emmanuel macron told the country a new lockdown had to be a brutal break on rocketing covid infections. As of midnight tonight, bars, restaurants and nonessential businesses will close until december. Though schools and factories will stay open. But police will check that anyone out on the street has a good reason to leave home. Planes have been flying severely ill patients to hospitals in other parts of france that can take them. And more than half of intensive care beds are already full. In barcelona, restaurant workers protested against closures in spain that have thrown many of them out of work. But theres no chance european leaders can ease restrictions now with more than a million new infections over the last week. Thats nearly half of all new cases on earth. Even germany, where masks and, above all, efficient testing had kept the infection rate low is risking losing control. For the first time, a partial lockdown there will close restaurants, bars and movie theaters until december. Now here in the uk, large areas are already under very strict lockdown. But the infection seems to be skyrocketing anyway. So scientists and even some politicians are saying the only thing thats going to slow it down is a national lockdown. Anthony . Very discouraging there. Elizabeth, also breaking news this morning out of france where there was a deadly knife attack. What more can you tell us about that . Details are still coming in. We know that it took place in nice on the mediterranean at the notre dame church. The police say that the attacker was a lone man. They think he was they have told us that three people have been killed. Several more were injured. And some witnesses say that the man was shouting allahu akbar at the time of the attack. There has been now a terrorist investigation launched. This follows security being beefed up around all kinds of religious sites in france. President macron a few weeks ago gave a speech defending not only freedom of speech but the right to publish cartoons of the prophet mohammed. And, of course, protests spread across the muslim world almost immediately. Then two weeks ago, a teacher in the outskirts of paris was actually decapitated after he showed and discussed those cartoons in his classroom. Anthony . Horrible story. Liz palmer in london, thank you. Turning to the death of a teenager at the hands of police in illinois. Newly released Police Camera footage reveals some of what happened before an officer fired the deadly shots last week in waukegan. Marcellus stinette was killed and his girlfriend rouwounded. Williams said they did nothing wrong. Police say they were unarmed but the two tried to hit an officer with their car. That officer has since been fired. Adriana diaz reports. Reporter body camera footage shows an officer approach Tafara Williams and marcelis stinnette in a parked car and identify them by name. Youre marcelis, right . Youre under arrest. Why . Because i said. Marcelis, youre under arrest. Because he got a warrant. The officer didnt say what the warrant was for. And marcelis girlfriend in the drivers seat takes off. Hey, hey, hey they just ran me over. Ast one point, the car reverses off camera. Then you hear a crash and roughly six gunshots. Ran me over. Reporter only after the shooting did that second officer turn on his body camera. I was right behind you and you almost tried to run me over. Reporter the Police Department says that officers life may have been in danger. The vehicle that he was investigating began to reverse towards the officer. Reporter williams said she lost control of the car. Family members drawing an Emotional Press Conference wednesday where stinnettes grandmother broke down. They questioned the timing of the body camera activation. This officer had his, oh, crap moment after the shooting and pushed the button. So he knew to push the button and shortly thereafter say, you tried to run me over. Reporter according to the mayors office, the officer was fired in part for failing to properly activate his body camera. A breach of department policy. Williams is in the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds to the abdomen and hand. I told them please dont shoot. I have a baby. We have a baby. We dont want to die. And the officer dragged me away from marcelis. They laid marcelis on the ground and covered him up with a blanket while he was still breathing. Reporter he later died at the hospital. For cbs this morning, adriana diaz, chicago. Thats why its so important to have the body cams, but its really maddening to hear that, okay, i didnt turn it on or i turned it on right after everything happened. It defeats the whole purpose. It does. Got to be a way to do this without people dying. Had to be ahead on first on cbs this morning, the head of louisvilles Police Department weighs in on the investigation into Breonna Taylors death.
