joining us in the u.s., around the world and streaming on cnn max. the u.s. senate unveils a bipartisan border security bill designed to send aid to israel and ukraine but is the deal already dead on arrival in the house? america's top diplomat heads to the middle east for the fifth time since october looking to ease tensions amid growing fears of a widening conflict. california grapples with extreme weather as heavy rain and strong wind bring power outages and potentially deadly flooding. live from atlanta, this is cnn newsroom. would begin in washington where u.s. senators unveiled the details of a anticipated border bill on sunday. it could change u.s.

immigration law for the first time in decades. chuck schumer said he will take the first procedural step today but before the details came out mike johnson signaled the bill would be dead on arrival. the $118 billion bipartisan package would empower the u.s. to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings at the southern border and it also includes critical aid for ukraine in israel. president joe biden says he supports the deal adding that the senate has done the hard work it takes to reach a bipartisan agreement. now republicans have to decide do they want to solve the problem or keep playing politics with the border. i made my decision, i am ready to solve the problem. we are following biden on the campaign trail. >> reporter: biden brought his

general election argument to nevada as he tried to draw a connection between arguments and what voters are feeling in the state. it is important as he stares down november. polls show a close contest nationally between biden and his opponent. all of this happening as news broke of a deal that was struck in the senate that would address the u.s. mexico border. the white house released a statement saying for too long the immigration system has been broken it is time to fix it. we have reached a agreement on a bipartisan national security deal that includes the toughest and fairest set of reforms in decades. i support it. officials have been involved in ongoing talks to make major policy changes. they include a new emergency authority that would give the president the ability to shut down the border if certain

metrics are met while expediting the asylum process. all of this is still up for debate and chuck schumer plans to set up a floor vote this week but already mike johnson is coming out against it saying even if it did reach the house would be dead on arrival. leaving the future of the steel up in the air. traveling with the president, cnn. >> blinking is on his way to the middle east were tensions are high after u.s. strikes in the region, this will be his fifth visit since the october 7 attacks in israel. he plans to visit saudi arabia, egypt, israel and the west bank. meanwhile to u.s. defense officials tell cnn that weekend airstrikes destroyed or damaged 84-85 targets. they were retaliation for the drone attack that killed three u.s. soldiers in jordan.

as we get a look at the aftermath of the strikes, the u.s. national security advisor tells cnn that more action is coming. >> we are still assessing the battle damage. our central command is looking at the capabilities we reduced. the president was clear when he ordered them and conducted them that that was the beginning of the response and there is more steps to come. in yemen hundreds of supporters marched sunday one day after u.s. strikes. a official says the group will meet escalation with escalation. u.s. central command released this video of the strikes, showing missiles launched from two u.s. destroyers and fighter jets taking off from the uss eisenhower. in gaza is really airstrikes

killed doesn't of the past 48 hours. a doctor tells cnn that 14 palestinians were killed and many others injured when israeli strikes hit a mosque. on saturday it is really strict killed 17 people. the palestinian health ministry says more than 27,000 have been killed in gaza since the october 7 attacks. we are joint life with more on the situation. what can we expect the secretary's priorities to be with so much going on? >> as you say this is his fifth trip to the region since the october 7 massacre by hamas. he has a familiar looking plane. broad objectives.

one is to try to prevent further escalation of the israel hamas war which is focused on the gaza strip but tensions still remain high on the border with lebanon with the iranian backed proxy and israel continuing to exchange fire. israel saying since october 7 it hit more than 3400 targets in lebanon and within 50 in syria saying the aim is to disrupt the supply and flow of weapons from iran to the proxy in southern lebanon and syria as well. the others all revolve around the hostage talks. we talked last week about the framework agreement being reached between hamas and israel via the mediators of egypt and qatar. this will allow for the release of some of the 100 hostages that were abducted and have

been in captivity now for more than 120 days in exchange for three times the number of palestinian prisoners in the first phase. there will be a six week pause in the fighting and in subsequent phases which will see the release of idf soldiers and bodies that hamas took into the gaza strip but it seems we are at impasse because hamas is insisting that is real not only cease-fire but withdraw completely from the gaza strip before it will agree to a hostage deal. israel says it will not do a deal at any cost. we heard from the prime minister last week he said he would not be releasing thousands of terrorists to do a deal and everything revolves around that. also in his objectives for the trip is to get a humanitarian pause in the fighting and to get more humanitarian aid into the gaza strip but those things cannot happen without a hostage deal so he has a tall order to

achieve if he wants to go back to the u.s. with anything of substance. >> many thanks. a retired australian army general joins us now. we have seen u.s. strikes on syria and iraq in retaliation for the deadly attack on a u.s. base. at the same time to strikes in yemen continue. what is your assessment of the u.s. retaliatory strikes over the weekend and will they work to contain or expand the conflict? >> the aim here is to de- escalate. particularly with the militants shooting at u.s. ships and bases. it does not appear that they are ready to step back but the strikes are not about destroying their organizations but

convincing them not to fire missiles at international trade ships or at basis where the u.s. or its allies are working. >> u.s. officials are going further action against iran backed militants using a multitier response, what will likely come next do you think and what more should the u.s. be doing to deter the militias? >> we saw the first round of attacks had a bit of a pause. intelligence agencies would be looking at what happens in the wake of the strikes. what moved around, followed by a second and that is probably what they are doing at the moment. beyond the physical drawbacks of this range of targets there is probably a range of things going on in the background. cyber attacks. special forces collecting information. there is a range of activities be on the strikes that the u.s.

and allies will be undertaking. >> how much control does you run actually have over the militant groups do you think? >> iran is not in the process of sending out daily task orders to organizations but it exerts direct control through financing. it is interesting that jake sullivan did not rule out attacking iran more broadly. a attack on iran itself is unlikely at this point. >> iran says the u.s. strikes make it hard to find a political solution. can a cease-fire between israel and hamas be achieved while the strikes continue? will a cease-fire help the escalate all hostilities in the middle east if the can be achieved? >> i think a cease-fire between hamas and israel is a separate

concern. at the end of the day hamas only cares about what is going on in gaza at the moment. if the can reached the agreement with israel separate to everything else it is likely to do so. >> how concerned are you about the possibility of a miscalculation in the middle of the strikes encounter strikes we are seeing in the region. >> we have already seen that. i think they miscalculated the response from the west and the ongoing series of strikes here. potentially iran has miscalculated the response from the u.s. since 7 october. this is a ever present concern in any of these conflicts. >> we appreciate you joining us. >> still to come this is some of the flooding people in california are facing now and more severe weather is on the way. the latest on the millions still under threat. straightahead.

in the u.s., nearly 1 million people are without power after a storm last california with heavy rain and

strong wind. some cities reissuing evacuation orders for low-lying areas. at least one regional airport says it has shut down because the airfield is flooded and california's governor has declared a state of emergency in 15% of its counties. we are getting more images of the damage the storm has unleashed in california. you can see uprooted trees in the streets and the national weather service says the wind gusts leading to the destruction could reach speeds of nearly 90 miles per hour. joining us now is karen with the latest. what are you seeing now? >> reporter: this looks to be one of the worst storm systems i have seen in recent times in california. i want to show you this image. it gives you an idea of what to expect.

high water rescues on some of the coastal california communities. a lot of reports of downed trees and power lines. this gentleman is leaving his minivan in a flooded area. the fire person offered him a ladder to get out of the situation. it has been difficult for a lot of these rescues to take place because the water continues to rise. this has occurred 25 miles to the south of san luis. you see this marginal risk in northern and central california. in central southern california a different story, the main portion of the atmospheric river, the moisture moving in off the pacific. this warm moisture is being thrown on shore in southern california now. 24-48 hours this will continue. very little let up and for some coastal communities extending from la county, ventura, santa

barbara, we are looking at maybe nine inches of rainfall. i saw one report for pasadena, possibly 10 inches is forecast. very few days in this high risk flood areas, do they ever see that but they account for 90% of the damage done. it does not take much but we go into monday and we start to see the high risk of excessive rainfall pushing further to the east. in areas around pasadena, that is why there was a report of as much as 10 inches. in malibu they are saying the canyon roads leading out of malibu are impassable. you cannot travel on them. that is one area but this will happen all across southern california so be aware and take this seriously. it will be a dangerous

situation going into tuesday but we will keep you updated. >> thank you so much. william booth is a associate professor of earth and planetary science at the university of california berkeley and joins me now from san francisco. >> pleasure to be here. a intense atmospheric river is bringing all of the dangerous associated with extreme weather and flash flooding to california. what is going on here and what is a atmospheric river? >> a atmospheric river is a river of water that runs through the air. they carry more water than the mississippi for the amazon just in vapor form and they get it from the pacific ocean usually and it is stretched and shared into a filament that makes its way to the west coast and dumps rain on us. >> around 1 million in

california are facing power outages as the intense atmospheric river lashes the state with heavy rain and strong wind. how bad can this get you think? >> they are predicting a flood watch in many parts but especially southern california through late tuesday. it can take time for the rain to not only fall on the mountains but percolate to low- lying areas so please do be careful for life-threatening and damaging flooding for the next couple of days even. >> with a flash flood warning in effect for parts of the southern and central coast including la, how should residents be preparing for this given the city and surrounding areas are not used to dealing with this sort of weather. what should people be doing

now? >> we live in a strange part of the country. it is dry, arid and drought filled for 4-5 years and then we have very wet weather and we are not used to dealing with it. it is important to not try to drive through standing or running water. cars can be swept away. stay away from rivers and anywhere you think you might have a remote risk of drowning. there has been a lot of trees falling so if you can during the peak of the storm, is a good day to stay home. >> i do want to ask, what is causing this to happen now how remarkable is this? >> it is the strongest atmospheric river california

has had this season. we had one if years ago that was more intense for northern california but this one that is blowing to southern california, we are getting strong wind but it is definitely the peak one of the year so far for southern california. >> you do field by midweek this should start clearing out? >> yes. the atmospheric river, they come through as plumes of moisture and as they sweep through there is a wet part and as the river undulate past you. you will move into more of a dry part so we will see it through. as you go further out into the future beyond a few days who knows. weather is chaotic. we can predict the climate, the average weather over a long time to read but we cannot predict individual whether weeks out into the future. >> thank you for joining us.

appreciate you explaining this to us and our viewers. >> my pleasure. turning to chile where wildfires have been tearing across parts of the country leaving does instead. what you are seeing is video recorded by firefighters driving through flames in central chile as the nation battles devastating wildfires. at least 112 have died and a state of emergency has been declared. chile's president says if any of the fires were sent intentionally, the criminals will pay. >> it is hard to think they are so horrible and heartless people that are able to inflict so much pain but if they exist we will search them, find them and they will have to face not only the entire society's rejection but also the law. >> tens of thousands of acres have burned according to

government officials. there are currently 161 active fires across the country and they come as chile is being hit by a summer heat wave. still to come bolivia sworn in a new leader after the death of its president. we have a live report after the break.

i'm daniel lurie and i've spent my career fighting poverty, helping people right here in san francisco. i'm also a father raising two kids in the city. deeply concerned that city hall is allowing crime and lawlessness to spread. now we can do something about it

police and protesters clashed on sunday a day after the country's president announced he will postpone a vote for his replacement. pro-democracy demonstrators set up barricades in the capital city and police responded with tear gas. elections were scheduled to take place every 25th but the president was putting that on hold seeing a conflict over the candidate list must be cleared up first. opposition groups call it a institutional who. protesters say they fear democracy is at stake. >> we are only defending ourselves, he middles with the

constitution, the newspapers in the population, he does everything he can to put us in a difficult position. i will repeat it, we are not fighting for a simple cause, we are fighting for freedom. >> in the coming hours lawmakers will debate whether to hold the election in august or keep him in power until then. the former vice president has been sworn in hours after the president died while receiving treatment for cancer. the appeal to the nation to remain calm and collected as some pay tribute to the late president. >> he believed in equality and peace. all of these qualities. i remember him for all of these great things he had done. serving our country, liberating it.

>> joining us now is larry in nairobi. we are seeing two different stories play out in africa. one with a peaceful transition of power and another with a lack of transition altogether. what is the latest? >> this weekend with a important one in africa's democratic chapter. you see the progress made across the continent but also the challenges starting with protests on sunday after the president shocked the nation and the world by announcing he is postponing the election. now lawmakers will decide if he can stay in power until august and if they can hold elections in august. the african union says they are concerned and there needs to be dialogue and the election date needs to be set as soon as possible. a sentiment shared by many in the u.s., the european union

and around the world. you are seeing concerning signals, reports of a opposition candidate arrested. television stations broadcasting russman. it is concerning many and you see a peaceful transition. the president dying while receiving treatment in the capital and then hours later the vice president is appointed and sworn in as the new president. he was saying he will not be running in november his dream as a child was to be a school principal and he has already achieved that and wants nothing more. >> i need to thank the people for the honor they have bestowed on me to be the president. for a short period of time. i am not going to be around for the elections so do not panic.

i will be serving you for the remainder of the office. >> that means the elections will still take place in november a extraordinary statement and he is aware, he is 82. the median age is 21 so he is not quite the right man and the woman who is now vice president, who is 71 will be the ruling party's presidential candidate. it is a huge part of the train democracy that this transition can happen peacefully and it signed a extra spotlight on the signs of democratic backsliding when you see people being arrested in the media being curtailed, a sign that democracy is hard work.

the big winner was taylor swift who took album of the year for the fourth time for midnight. the only artist to take the category that many times surpassing stevie wonder and frank sinatra. hong kong's top sport official said the current made many requests for him to play in the match and he never entered the game, this was the reaction. fans booed when the superstar failed to take the pitch during the match between his into miami team and a group of local standouts. the hong kong government said the events organizer owes fans the explanation. he expressed disappointment but denied knowledge that the chipping would not play. the coach said messy and

another player set out with injuries. cnn was at the match. >> reporter: a no-show on the pitch for messy and the fans are disappointed. what was initially cheers in the stands turned into booze and chance of refund. 40,000 fans clamored for the opportunity to see messy play with his team for a preseason friendly against a hong kong squad. this is their first ever international tour, the co-owner beckham also here but when messy failed to get off the bench the mood soured and the fans are leaving crushed and disappointed. joining me is a super fan. a lot of people disappointed, how are you feeling? >> the same as everyone else,

welcome back to our viewers in north america. back to the top story. u.s. senators unveiled a long- awaited deal to crackdown on migrants at the mexico border. the more than $118 billion package would give the

president far-reaching powers to restrict illegal immigration. it will also provide aid to key allies including ukraine and israel but the speaker says the bill will be on arrival dead in the republican controlled chamber. it comes as more than a dozen republican governors across the country met with texas governor greg abbott in the border town of eagle pass. it has become a flashpoint in immigration crisis. rosa has more now from eagle pass. >> reporter: eagle pass looks like a war zone. the texas governor ordering miles of recent wire place along the rio grande to block migrants like this group of venezuelans from entering the u.s. >> they are trying to turn themselves into immigration authorities. >> reporter: texas shutting down miles of border and denying access.

the county sheriff says the texas takeover puts local officials in a tough spot. >> it is creating a problem for us. >> the weeks long standoff between texas and the biden demonstration over command control of the border in eagle pass has turned into a partisan rally cry. >> now it is as bad as it has ever been. >> reporter: dozens of governors from around the nation and former president trump side with texas. the house speaker also said i stand with the governor. he and house republicans plane that the department of house secretary. house republicans hope to keep the focus on him instead of legislation. the last time they passed immigration reform it was 1986.

while a bipartisan group of senators are pushing for a bordered deal now the bill appears to be dead on arrival in the house, much of it due to the strong opposition for former president trump. >> this is a terrible bill. >> the sheriff is calling out trump for lobbying against the bill that both parties say is the toughest border security in decades. >> would you blame trump at the deal does not go through? >> yes, it will hurt us. it is self interest. >> republican with riverfront property in eagle pass says the border deal falls short of fixing the issue. >> former president trump has been lobbying against that bill, do you agree? >> i do agree with him. i believe when trump was

president having them remain in mexico, that helps. >> meanwhile in eagle pass standouts like these. between the group of venezuelan migrants already on u.s. soil and state police. they are daily occurrences that do not stop illegal immigration , instead just delay it for a few hours or days. the texas governor greg abbott hosted a dozen governors from across the country here in eagle pass in shelby park, inside the take over zone, the zone taken over by the state a few weeks ago and what is extraordinary about the visit is that the governor and these governors are advocating for states to enforce immigration policy. what is extraordinary about that is the u.s. supreme court has upheld that immigration is a federal function.

cnn. a diverse coalition spending minority communities and young voters were instrumental in sending biden to the white house in 2020. the u.s. president now faces major challenges with the demographics as he eyes a second term in the oval office. we are in detroit with details. >> reporter: the reverend is bracing for a rematch between biden and trump. exhausted at the and notion of a nine-month battle for the white house. >> reporter: williams was on the front lines of soaring turnout among voters four years ago, he believes fighting cannot get reelected through fear of trump alone. >> it is like your big brother or sister saying the bogeyman

is under the bed. sooner or later you realize the sky bb isn't the bogeyman. >> reporter: one of the biggest tests is pacing together a vast coalition. particularly in michigan. trump carried the state in 2016 but joe biden flipped all three in 2020, a blue wall that led to victory. his challenges are complicated by anger among muslims and arab americans over the israel and hamas were made clear by protests included when the president visited michigan. he worked as a advisor for the biden campaign four years ago, he said he will not vote for him again seeing him complicit in debts of innocent palestinians. >> you think it will help elect donald trump? >> it probably will.

people do not see the difference. >> it was four years ago when biden presented himself as a bridge to the future. >> i billed myself as a bridge not as anything else. there is a entire generation of leaders standing behind me. >> those cheers rang out in the gymnasium. where these students are now following the presidential race. >> he does not represent the young voter demographic at all. is the first time they can vote. they said it would for biden is hardly guaranteed. >> we have been stuck in the system for far too long. >> reporter: the biden campaign tells cnn it will draw sharp parallels with trump. >> we are not happy with biden but we understand the other

option is not a option favorable to us. >> reporter: norman said voters are eager to hear what biden will do in a second term, not what he has done or tried to do. >> are you more worried about people voting for trump war worried about voters not voting at all? >> i am worried about the protest vote, we did it in 2016. >> reporter: for the next nine months there will be a heavy focus on michigan and other blue wall states. before that is the primary. the biting campaign is working to increase support. they are worried protests could show up in the primary on that day. the bigger test is rebuilding the coalition, the roadmap is there, the question is, or the voters? cnn.
