Trumpet Hour

. Hurricane Patricia is making landfall this evening on Mexico's Pacific Coast-expected to be more powerful than Hurricane Andrew-more powerful than Katrina.

. Britain is rolling out the red carpet for China-undermining its relationship with the U.S. in favor of this Asian giant.

. Syria's Bashar AS-sud made a surprise visit to Moscow-in a swoop Russia has effectively pushed the U.S. aside and positioned itself as the number-one power broker in the Middle East.

. Russia is also completing work on a military base in the Arctic.

. And one analyst warns of four different problems in today's world that could have serious ramifications on human survival.

All this and much more-on today's: trumpet hour.
