Painkiller doses. Axelrod and coach rob, an inspiration who doesnt believe in making excuses. For anyone out there not sure if they can do something, whatever it is, im here to tell you that you can do it. Axelrod good evening. Im jim axelrod. And this is our western edition. Late today, hurricane watches became more urgent hurricane warnings, as evacuations began along the gulf coast of louisiana. Tropical storm barry could become hurricane barry before making landfall tomorrow night or saturday. Astronauts aboard the space station posted this ominous view of the storm that is now gaining strength in the gulf. Barrys biggest threat is torrential rain, as much as two feet in new orleans and parts of mississippi. Now, were going to start tonight with lonnie quinn, chief weathercaster at wcbs tv in new york. Lonnie, what it is looking like for landfall . Well, its going to be borderline whether its a hurricane or not. And its funny, we all get tied into we get wrapped up with the wind speed, because the wind speed dictates whether its a hurricane or not. It may be a strong Tropical Storm; it may be a lowgrade, cat1 hurricane, but its going to be a big water maker. Theres going to be a lot of rain associated with this. Now, heres the latest information from the National Hurricane center. Youve got a storm that has 40 m. P. H. Winds. So just barely a Tropical Storm for that matter, about 90 miles from the south of the Mississippi River. But as it pushes to the west and eventually goes up to the north, we think its going to be making landfall sometime maybe late friday, early saturday. Is it a hurricane, it is a Tropical Storm . We shouldnt be just, you know, tied up into that entirely, because its more the water. Look at the amount of rain. Now, watch for the white to pop up on the screen. Here we go. All right, the white is showing you anywhere from hattiesburg down to new orleans. Thats a foot of rain there. Now if you take a look at this area shaded in black, thats one to two feet of rain. This only has to make a shift of 50 miles for that to be right on top of new orleans. Big problems there. Right now, with the track of this storm, as it pushes off to the west, whether it makes a landfall, whether it doesnt, its going to be churning and pushing water on shore. Those big numbers that i just showed you, again, thats fresh water rain. This is now storm surge. The combination could be a real problem for the new orleans area. The bayou of louisiana could be in for some tough times, i think any time friday night into saturday, the first half of the day. Well watch all this, jim. Axelrod thank you, lonnie. A state of emergency is now in effect in louisiana, and the National Guard has been activated. Manuel bojorquez is in new orleans, where improvements in flood protection made after katrina are about to be put to the test. Reporter in lowlying areas south of new orleans, some residents heeded the warnings stock up, pack up, and in some parishes, evacuate. Any time there is a disturbance, it always disturbs me. Reporter preparations also include closing massive floodans down. In new orleans, storms that unleashed flash flooding yesterday were a fresh reminder of what a deluge can do here. Up to 15 inches are expected. Mayor Latoya Cantrell said drainage pumps are working, but we cannot pump our way out of the water levels and the water falls that are expected to hit the city of new orleans. Reporter and all eyes are on the levees that protect the city. The forecasted crest was revised down to 19 feet, and the army corps of engineers said today it does not expect any overtopping. Obviously, conditions can change. So residents should stay vigilant and prepared, should any changes occur. Reporter sandy rosenthal, an army corps critic who lived through katrina, says no one should let their guard down. If this storm were to slow down, hover, et cetera, what could we be looking at . A model is exactly that a model. Its an educated guess. If it goes exactly as planned, hopefully this water wont overtop, but it might not go as planned. Reporter here in plaquemines parish, where there are some mandatory evacuations, some people are using ferries like this one to get out ahead of the storm. And from here, you can see just how swollen and swift the Mississippi River already is, well before the storm comes ashore. Jim . Axelrod manny, thank you. Late today, President Trump told reporters hes giving up on trying to put a Citizenship Question on the 2020 census. But as paula reid reports from the white house, the president believes hes found another way to find out who is a citizen and who isnt. It is essential that we have a clear breakdown of the number of citizens and noncitizens that make up the u. S. Populations. Reporter President Trump introduced an executive order late today directing his administration to collect citizenship information on everyone in the u. S. We are pursuing a new option to ensure a complete and timely count of the noncitizen population. Reporter the order directs federal agencies to search available databases for information on whether someone is in the u. S. Legally. It will be, we think, far more accurate. Reporter the move ended the president s quest to add a Citizenship Question to the 2020 census, which critics argue would have discouraged undocumented immigrants from participating. Can you believe, are you a citizen of the United States of america . Sir, you cant ask that question. Why . Reporter two weeks ago, the Supreme Court blocked the administrations effort to add the question, ruling the administration had not provided a sufficient justification for it. The government then began printing census forms without it. But President Trump vowed to continue fighting. 15 to 20 billion, and youre not allowed to ask them are you a citizen. Were fighting very hard against the system. Thats a very difficult system. Reporter for the president , continuing to battle for a citizenship count is politically advantageous. I think that the chaos is purposeful. I think that he wants to create fear. Reporter vanita gupta is a former Obama Justice Department Official who opposes adding the Citizenship Question. There is no question that there has already been significant damage even by the sheer specter of the question being on, and all of the kind of ensuing noise from the trump administration. Axelrod paula reid joins us now. Paula, we heard the president say he wants every federal agency to provide information on citizens who is, who isnt to get an accurate count. Now, how is that going to work . Reporter well, jim, its not clear how much Additional Information is actually in these federal databases, and whether it will actually give the government a clearer picture of who is in the u. S. Legally. Jim, also tonight, the Justice Department said it will inform the courts that it will not include a Citizenship Question on the 2020 census. Thats not the outcome the president was hoping for. Axelrod paula reid, thank you very much. Air canada flight 33 was the roughest ride in the sky today. On a long flight across the pacific, the plane hit intense turbulence. More than 30 people were hurt on the boeing 777. Heres kris van cleave. Reporter scenes of chaos on air cana boeing 777 hit severe turbulence about 600 miles from hawaii. Frightened passengers described a sudden drop in altitude. It just seems like the plane just sank and then flew up. Reporter forced to turn around, the pilots made an Emergency Landing in honolulu early this morning. Paramedics tended to the nearly three dozen injured. Nine were taken to a nearby hospital. A lot of people hit the ceiling, and a lot of screaming. We had several patients with neck and back injuries. Some with lacerations to the head. Reporter most of the 269 passengers and 15 crew were sleeping on the longhaul flight from vancouver to sydney, australia, when the incident happened. Sitting in front of me, a girl hit the plastic overhead, and actually snapped it and broke it. I think one of the stewards was badly injured when the trolley fell on top of them. Reporter severe injuries due to turbulence are rare, but they do happen. The f. A. A. Says in 2017, for example, 17 people were badly hurt by turbulence. Its why you hear those announcements about keeping your seat belts fastened, even when youre in your seats. Jim . Axelrod kris van cleave in atlanta for us tonight. Thank you. Heres how much Jeffrey Epstein is willing to put up to stay out of jail as he awaits trial for sex trafficking. Today, his lawyers offered up epsteins private jet plus his new york mansion as collateral. The house alone may be worth 77 million. A judge will decide on bail next week. Epstein faces numerous charges, including sexually abusing underage girls. Cbs news has learned the trump administrations longexpected roundup of undocumented immigrant families will begin sunday. Ice officers will focus on at least ten cities and more than 2,000 immigrants who are under deportation orders. Jericka duncan visited one place that is a likely target. Reporter queens, new york, a longtime epicenter for immigrants, is expected to be one of the several cities to be raided. 39yearold fahd ahmed runs an organization that focuses on immigrant rights. Its meant to create and further the fear and the panic in the community. Reporter and what are they supposed to do if ice shows up . If Law Enforcement shows here or shows up to your home, ask for a warrant. If they dont have a warrant, they do not have a right to come in. Reporter he says people in this community are worried about the raids, which will include collateral deportations. In other words, family members and friends of the targeted immigrants who are there when ice arrives could also be arrested by ice and deported. Police departments in chicago, los angeles, san francisco, and oakland will not help with the raids. I personally have spoken with ice leadership in chicago and voiced my strong objection to any raids. Reporter in a statement, ice said, all of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention, and if found removable by final order, removal from the United States. In a tweet, President Trump pushed democrats to make a deal on immigration reform, or expect deportations. Some republicans are expressing concern. To me, it is not cruel. Its reinforcing the rule of law. But id prefer not to go down that route if we can find a deal. Reporter this undocumented mother of six is taking refuge inside a chicago methodist church. She asked for her identity to be concealed. translated i am resisting deportation because all of my children are u. S. Citizens, as well as my husband. They have a right to be with their mother. Reporter in anticipation of those raids, five Immigration Legal Services filed a lawsuit in federal court against the trump administration. Jim, this lawsuit argues basically that constitutional due process requires that immigrants be given a special hearing in front of an immigration judge before simply we have some more fallout to tell you about in the case of william husel, an ohio doctor charged with murdering 25 patients by ordering excessive doses of painkillers. Today, 23 more employees were fired by the Mount Carmel Health system, including doctors and nurses, but they will not be prosecuted. The companys c. E. O. Also announced his resignation today. President trump sounded off today on social media giants google, facebook, and twitter, accusing them of political bias. Weijia jiang reports, those companies were not invited to his social media summit. Big tech must not censor the voices of the american people. Reporter at his social media summit, President Trump said alleged censorship could cost him votes in 2020. The Trump Campaign believes unregulated content helped propel him to victory in 2016. Its a collusion between the democrats and the media, and, and social media. Reporter the guests were conserve grnd media influencers, who claim google, facebook and twitter suppress their protrump messages. They included extreme supporters like ali alexander, who recently questioned senator Kamala Harris racial background, and this user, who doctored a video to show former Vice President joe biden massaging his own shoulders amid allegations of inappropriately touching women. Mr. Trump shared the post. Some of you guys are out there. Reporter democratic senator mark warner took a different view. This socalled summit is nothing but a political spectacle, where you invited in some of the most outrageous voices of the internet. Reporter do you believe conservatives are being censored . I do. Reporter ryan fournier, who cofounded the Group Students for trump, attended the event. Hes convinced twitter controls engagement based on the content, without providing explicit evidence. Whether its their algorithm, whether its individuals within the company, whether it is automation, there is something going on that is in their system saying that they dont like conservatives. Axelrod weijia jiang joins us. So, weijia, we saw who was in the room. But why were the Big Tech Companies not in the room today . Reporter you know, we talked to some participants, who said their absence made the conversation more candid. And even though they were not invited today, President Trump says he plans to ask reps from all the major social media platforms to visit the white house over the next month for a big meeting, including twitter.
