Welcome to cbs this morning. A new wave of heavy rain and flooding threatens millions along the east coast. Hurricane joaquin has strengthened to a category three storm. And could make landfall in the United States over the coming days. Right now, joaquin is pounding eyelids near the bahamas with winds around 120 miles an hour. Virginia has already declared a state of emergency, as the storm is expected to move north. The east coast has been hit hard this week. Flooding affected parts of South Carolina overnight. It forced roads to closed and created a sinkhole. More than 6 inches of rain slammed maine yesterday and standing water filled roads. Around 6,000 people lost power. This morning in new jersey, crews will be building massive sand barriers on the beaches to prepare for the possibility of serious flooding. Chief weather forecaster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs is tracking joaquin as it approaches. What are you seeing . Good morning. Reporter gayle, i see some really big changes out there. Not only in the track and the intensity. Yesterday at this hour, i was talking to you about a tropical storm. Today, its a hurricane with a pretty big number. Take a peek the 5 00 numbers in from the National Hurricane center. It looks like this on the infrared satellite pictures and numbers to go along it. 120mileperhour winds and cat three to become a cat four and makes allimportant turn to the north and travel up the eastern seaboard. Is it a landfall or not a landfall . Both are possibilities today. Could be a landfall from North Carolina to massachusetts. But there is also a possibility at least, and it could stay out to sea. Not a great possibility but its out there. Here are the spaghetti models. Now all over the place. Anywhere from North Carolina up to the east end of long island. You did see one or two pushing out to sea. How is that possible . Its all because there are so many different variables that we are dealing with this storm. High pressure, low pressure, another high pressure. This high, if it sets up further offshore thats your escape route. If it pushes further to shore, it will push the storm onshore and if this high drops in that, that seal the deal and pushes it onshore. A lot to watch and monitor and possibly another update will then. Russian war planes are reportedly attacking targets in syria again this morning. U. S. Rebel fighters backed by the cia was hit in one of the opening round of air strikes. Russian foreign minister insist they only attacked isis positions. Defense secretary ash carter said russia should not use force to prop up bashar al assad. Fighting isis without not pursuing a pill transition only risks circulatinge ing escalating the civil war. This approach that approach is tantamount to poweringur gasoline on the fire. Russian planes are hitting areas of syria where isis is not in control. Holly williams has more. Reporter russia gave the u. S. One hours notice before launching these air strikes and there are unconfirmed reports this morning of more strikes. We are now in a very dangerous situation with both the u. S. And russia conducting air strikes in syria, but backing different side in the countrys civil war. Russian war planes struck rebelheld areas in central and northern syria, despite russias planes that had hit isis positions, at least some of the targets appear to have been in areas that are not controlled by isis, or groups linked to al qaeda. 36 civilians were killed, including children, according to Syrian Opposition forces. A syrian rebel commander who is backed by the u. S. Told us the russians will be treated as occupiers. The regime in the civil war and supports syria socalled moderate rebels. The syrian war has already cost more than 250,000 lives and forced nearly 12 Million People to flee their homes. For weeks now, russia has been building up forces on an air base near the syrian city of latakia with over 30 fighter jets and helicopter gunships and antiaircraft systems. The u. S. Says it does not object to russias targeting isis, but fears that attacks on other groups will only serve to make the syrian conflict even bloodier. As america continues its air strikes against isis in syria, the u. S. And russia will hold talks this week to reduce the risk of an accidental collision in syrian air space. Holly in turkey, thank you very much. Michael morrell is with us from washington a former Deputy Director of the cia. Good morning. Good morning. What do these air strikes tell us about what russia is trying to do and what is the risk of a wider war . What putin is trying to do here, charlie, is strengthen assad, prop up assad. Thats why he is going after the moderate opposition. Because they have put assad under the most pressure he has been under since the fall of 2012. The reason he is doing that is he does not want assad to fall because he really believes that if assad falls, there will be more instability in syria, giving more running room to isis, maybe even having isis in damascus and that is why he is doing what he is do. Does the u. S. Believe that . So i dont think putin is thinking about this right, charlie. He is absolutely right, that if assad leaves tomorrow with no follow on government, then youre in a libya kind of situation with chaos. The u. S. Plan all along is a transition from assad to another government. That is what we have to have. That is the only solution here and putin has just made that much more difficult. How does this complicate things . I mean, you hear president putin saying that these air strikes were to carry out terrorists and, in fact, u. S. Officials say the attack was not directed at isis. If you look at the map, where these air strikes are occurring, gunships and airplanes are near the central city of homz where few, if any, militants of the islamic state. Do the u. S. And russians need to get together quickly and work this out . Norah, the risk is that we are both flying in the same air space, in the same country. You have to deconflict. And that deconfliction has to be every day and every morning the two sides need to get together and say we are flying here, youre flying there. Hard to imagine, hard to imagine that russia and the United States are going to be able to do that every morning. Do you deconflict if you only get one hours notice . You do not. So the record, right now, charlie, is that they are not going to do that. We need to pressure them to do it. So he keeps saying that he is going after isis, but our intelligence shows otherwise. Why do they keep going with this narrative, mike morrell . Because they really are. Go back to what i said to charlie earlier, they really are focused on isis. But they are focused on isis in the sense that if assad falls, isis grows, right . They are trying to protect assad so they are going after all of assads enemies. Mike, let me ask you about the historical significance of this. This is the first time that russia has conducted combat operations in the middle east since the ends of world war ii. Correct, correct. They and the british invaded iran right at the end of world war ii to preserve the oil fields for the allies, so one of focus of putin here is protecting syria, protecting assad, right . The second is he has always wanted to be a big player in the middle east and this gives him that, so is there a symbolic aspect to this as well. Thank you, michael. Youre welcome. Syria was a big topic in our interview with Vladimir Putin on 60 minutes. The russian leader expressed concern as a power vacuum in syria if president assad is forced out. Putin pointed out other situations where he says that led to disaster. You have said that a strong centralized government is in the dna of russia. You know, and you have a huge fear, as you suggest, an anarchy, maybe in syria and in other places, of no strong government. Thats the fear that Vladimir Putin had. Saying that there is no strong governments in the country. Im saying that if there is no government at all, then there will be anarchy and a vacuum and a vacuum and anarchy will rapidly transform into terrorism. Well, take iraq, for example. A wellknown figure, saddam hussein, whether he was good or bad, you probably forgotten that. At some stage, the u. S. Was cooperating very actively with saddam when he was fighting iran. You helped rim withhim with arms and a political cover was provided, et cetera. Then, for some reason, you had a falling out and the u. S. Decided to eliminate saddam, but by eliminating saddam hussein, the u. S. Eliminated the Iraqi Government and thousands of people from the former baath party and they were part of the sunni elite of the state were thrown out on the street. Nobody thought about them. Now they are filling the ranks of isil. Thats what we are fighting against. We are not against some country showing its leadership somewhere. We are against thoughtless actions that result in such negative situations that are hard to correct. Interesting insights from the russian president. Yeah. It points out again, charlie, how timely your interview was with putin. Makes you think he knew what he planned to do. We will be watching how much koorpgs cooperation there is now between the u. S. And russia. Rivals were asked about syria in Campaign Stops in New Hampshire. Major garrett is tracking the republican race. Reporter the syrian refuge crisis the worst the world has seen since world war ii took center stage last night. The contrast was stark and memorable. A 200,000 man army maybe. Reporter voters told voters in New Hampshire he doesnt want the u. S. To host syrian refuges claiming they could be part of isis. Im putting the people on notice as coming here from syria as part of this mass mooiigration, that if i win, they are going back. They are going back. Im telling you. They are going back. Reporter not far away, a woman wept while asking jeb bush how he would help her 14 syrian relatives who recently escaped people are leaving not because they are immigrants looking for a better life. They are leaving because they will die, that simple. And we have to play a role in providing support. Reporter afterward, bush was told about trumps promise to expel syrian refuges. There should be some sensitivity by mr. Trump and others this is a specific challenge. If you didnt hear that young womans concern that people are seeking Freedom Reporter ben carson came down largely on trumps side. Unless we have a mechanism of guarantee we are not bringing in jihadist are terrorists. Reporter the Obama Administration is admitting 10,000 more refuges. The high commissioner says 400,000 refuges must be settled called on the u. S. To accept 100,000 refuges the next calendar year. A new set of Hillary Clintons emails shows the private server when she was secretary of state. Officials found three state Department Emails that should have been classified as secret. Other messages came from hackers trying to steal clintons personal information. Nancy cordes is in washington where officials believe that the hacking attempt was connected to russia. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Those phishing emails were disguised as speeding tickets. Five of them that popped up in clintons private inbox in august of 2011. Security experts say they demonstrate the risks of using a private server to conduct sensitive government businesses. The states Traffic Systems came from a dot gov address. Including clinton said they were caught speeding and click on the attachment to pay it and it was known as a rat. Once the rat is on your computer they can eavesdrop on your morph, your keyboard and all of the websites you visit and all of the files you open and they can even steal information covertically. Reporter a clinton spokesman tells cbs news there is no evidence she opened the attachment. And all of these emails show that like other millions of americans, she received spam. The latest email release comes amidst an uproar over the House Committee investigating the benghazi attack as Kevin Mccarthy seemed to acknowledge its purpose was to bring down clinton. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right . We put together a Benghazi Special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today. Reporter democrats pounced. I cant believe what that means, mr. Speaker. It means this is a hoax. Reporter they called the committee a Political Smear Campaign and demanded it with be shut down. Clinton said mccarthys comments reveal the truth about the committee. This was always meant to be a partisan, political exercise. Reporter whatever it is, it has hurt clinton. Not just her poll numbers but her fundraising numbers now too. The Clinton Campaign announced last night it raised 28 million over the last quarter and that is less than 5 million more than vermont senator Bernie Sanders who raised most of his money in small amounts online and not at big fundraisers. He also has got a much smaller staff to pay. Thank you, nancy. This morning, a lucky powerball player is waking up as a millionaire.
