5:00 am
active threat to the public at this hour we talked about some scary moments at a fourth of july celebration in utah when fireworks flew into the crowd, one person hitting the face, several others injured. this happened right after a jet flyover at the event, it was on the campus of brigham young university jonas brothers here's what headlining the event organizers say the pyrotechnics worth thoroughly checked before the show and then recheck after that incident. there was a new champion this morning and nathan's famous hot dog eating contest, patrick bertoletti taking home that coveted mustard belt scuffing down 58 hot dogs and buns in just ten minutes yesterday, the 16 time champ, joey chestnut, of course. he wasn't allowed to participate in the annual competition and band after signing out with a plant-based food company, he did though, compete in his own event in texas yesterday, downing 57
5:01 am
all-beef hot dogs. that plan et based you just five minutes and raising $106,000 for military families. a new our have seen a new central starts right now more democrats, and big donors are putting pressure on the president of the united states to step aside as the biden team moves to salvage his campaign with a new aggressive strategy and dangerous heat will blink at much of the country. this weekend, putting millions at risk and threatening to stoke already dangerous wild virus. how you can stay safe in these record temperatures and in minutes, the june jobs report drops and what it means for the economy and how it could impact interest rates i'm friedrich a. whitfield with erica hill, john kate, and sarah are off today. this is cnn news central
5:02 am
efforts to course correct. continue this morning with the biden campaign, trying to convince voters the commander in chief is still up to the task say on the ticket as they continued to try to recover from the disastrous debate performance. now, more than a week ago this morning, the white house laying out a new memo, what they are referring to as an aggressive july schedule for the president, kicking things off with a rally today in the key battleground state of wisconsin. of course, he will also be sitting down this afternoon there for an interview. one that many are looking at is a make or break moment for this campaign that interview with george stephanopoulos of abc will be his first since the debate is first tv interview seen as priscilla alvarez is live at the white house this morning. they are trying really hard at this course correction. but it seems with each let's move. it's actually raising new questions for silla well, in each move is under great scrutiny now of course, the biden campaign is trying to
5:03 am
shift the narrative after a really difficult week that brought into question the president's candidacy. now, of course, this july memo, in some ways is a signal to allies that we hear you by laying out this aggressive travel schedule. now this includes the president, the first lady, the vice president, the second gentleman, visiting collectively, every battleground state. it also includes the president going to battleground nevada to talk to conferences targeting latino and black voters. it also includes a $50 million paid media via blitz. and notably, this memo also talks about the president engaging in more off the cuff moments. now, this is something that we have heard repeatedly from allies over the last week that they want to see the president in more unscripted moments. they want to see him on the campaign trail showing that bigger and aggressiveness that his advisers say is this is the case behind closed doors. and in some cases, at rallies when he is feeding on the attendees and the people there. now, the
5:04 am
president yesterday was here at the july 4 celebration. he did indeed have an off-the-cuff moment when someone in the crowd yelled, we need you you got me, man i'm not going anywhere all right. >> now, the president of course, is trying to chart a new course here and provide that reassurance to democrats. you try to do that earlier in the week with democratic governors along with his campaign, but there's still a lot of questions he's heading to battleground wisconsin today later battleground pennsylvania over the weekend. and of course that primetime interview, all eyes will be on that the campaign has been signaling toward that as an important moment. and so certainly it's going to be very important what unfolds over the next few days as they try to but reassure and salvage the president's reelection bid. yeah, absolutely. priscilla alvarez at the white has this morning priscilla. thank you, fred. >> all while biden looks to course correct. his campaign after the debate, donald trump
5:05 am
is ready for round to the former president, unleashing some fourth of july fireworks on social media last night posting a flurry of attacks against biden and the democrats, calling out the president to debate against him a second time, this time, quote, no holds barred. cnn's elana treene with me now so ln of what more is the former president's saying he's kinda seizing on this moment, isn't a he is. there's no question, fred, that donald trump as well as republicans at large, are relishing this moment and look, we have seen donald trump really ramp up some of his rhetoric online in the past 24 hours or so, but i will also argue that he's been uncharacteristically quiet this week. he has had no public events. he stayed at his bedminster golf cupp and new jersey. his team essentially told me that he's purposefully laying low. he wants joe biden and all of the handwringing we're seeing from democrats
5:06 am
about what should happen next following his poor performance last week at that debate, they want that to take centers stage and be the story. but we did see some taunting from donald trump yesterday and really challenging joe biden to another debate. i'm going to read you some of what he said. he wrote quote, let's do another debate, but this time, no holds barred. all and all on discussion with just the two of us on stage. now, of course this is something that donald trump is pushing for. again, when i talked to donald trump's team about this, they're saying this is him trolling the president and democrats a bit, but we did see donald trump had a great night and honestly, maybe not even on the substance he did falter and some of his answers he did lie a lot on stage at that debate. but the country trust between him and joe biden was unquestionably good for the former president. and so this is really what he's putting out there. but of course we have to see if this is even a possibility for the democrats at this stage, fred so for trump, it's not just targeting biden even harris.
5:07 am
>> so the overall white house, but now he's also zeroing in on george stephanopoulos, who will be leading the interview. that will be airing on primetime this night on abc in what manner is he doing that well he's, also posting on truth social about this and look, i mean, it's interesting, fred, because when i talk to republicans we know that democrats are watching this interview later and as eric pointed out at the top of the show, that this is a make or break moment for joe biden republicans are also watching this very closely. >> they will be watching this interview. we will see them responding in real time. and they're also unsure of what's going to happen. i do want to read for you as well what donald trump wrote about this. he really went hard after george stephanopoulos. he wrote quote the meanest and most vicious interviewer out there is george slop, a adopt bolus obviously criticizing his name of fake news abc, one of the worst and most vile broadcasters in the bin in the
5:08 am
business. he went on to continue to attack him and look, this is a similar strategy to what we saw donald trump and republicans do in the leadup to the debate, they attack the moderators they try to paint the media as fake news, not a new concept when it comes to donald trump, but they're already trying to get out in front of this interview and painted as, potentially favorable to joe biden in the event that joe biden de as well. and so we're seeing them trying to manage expectations before pretty even happens. fred alright, alayna treene. >> thank you so much. erica a potentially historic and extremely dangerous heat wave is intensifying for millions of people on the west coast. how they're trying to stay safe in these sweltering temperatures plus new details on a framework for a potential ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas this morning. and a terrifying fourth of july at one texas beach, after a shark attacks, multiple swimmers

5:14 am
>> yeah. the heat is going to continue to boil here. the sun is just starting to come up here in sacramento. erica, and we're in for another really hot day. temperatures tend to 20 degrees above normal. we've already seen records falling this week all. this while firefighters are battling some dangerous blazes across the state burned-out homes and cars left in the wake of a fast-moving wildfires in oroville california, the thompson fire has burned thousands of acres as of thursday, with about 12,000 people still well under evacuation orders, the fire raging by night, then smoldering and flaring up under triple-digit temperatures 11 firefighters were heard fighting the blaze. three when a fire truck rolled over the rest from the heat, all are expected to recover. it's a difficult conditions that they face four structures, at least two of them houses have been destroyed by the fire more than 12,000 remain at risk at an high winds and the damage can be random in this neighborhood,
5:15 am
homes like this one still standing while feet away, fire scorched ground. crews still putting out hotspots. this fire season has been exceptional. more than 130,000 acres burned uh, 1,600% increase from last year. >> this winter, we had a significant amount of rain, but with rain brings growth and, and the challenge with that is that fuels and vegetation continues to dry out what's helping california firefighters? >> new technology allowing helicopters to fight the fires at night. >> the ability to battle fires at night allows us to gain the upper hand in normal conditions. meyer activity deep places at night now, the concern fireworks, this video showing how a firework started, a three acre fire in san francisco in a matter of minutes and that is one of the concerns that's why even through this holiday weekend, they're saying do not use any
5:16 am
fireworks, but we are seeing the effects of human induced climate change, which has promised that the dries will get drier and the hots will get higher, hotter. >> and for a lot of people, they're saying this is really dangerous, erica, this can mean the difference between life and death that people don't stay inside and stay cool because it is going to be so hot out here in the west. yeah, so important to get that message out stuff. appreciate it. thank you. while every year, hundreds of people are killed after they're exposed to extremely hot temperature. seen as jaclyn howard is with us now with more and some tips on how to stay safe here. so jacklyn, in terms of the concern we've been talking so much about the key in the country. it's happening earlier it is in more places it can actually land people in the hospital oh, absolutely, erica. and that's a major concern right now. we know that heat itself, it can be as silent killer every year, more than 1,200 people die due to extreme temperatures here in the united states and some heat-related illnesses, we see our heat cramps, heat exhaustion
5:17 am
dehydration, and heat stroke. and heat stroke itself, erica, it's not an actual stroke. it happens when your body is unable to cool itself down. signs of this are if you have a body temperature higher than 103 degrees, you may have a fast pulse, you may feel dizzy, you may have a headache, you may lose consciousness or pass out and when that happen bins, erica doctors have 30 minutes to cool the patient's body down before they're at an increased risk of organ damage or even dying from this condition. so it's a very, very serious situation. so to that point, if you have such a narrow window, if you have some of these symptoms, do you immediately go to the emergency room? oh, absolutely. you want to call 911 if you see someone having these symptoms and you want to try to cool the body down with cool clots. what you don't want to do is give that person alcohol caffeine, or any liquid if they are unconscious, they could choke on that beverage and don't give them
5:18 am
fever reducing medications because those won't work against heat stroke. and if the person's dehydrated or overheated, the medicines might do more harm and to stay safe in this heat, erica, you want to stay hydrated, drink lots of water this summer and look out for the most vulnerable that's young children, older adults, and pregnant women all right. jacqueline, appreciate it. some really important tips. thank you. absolutely all right. >> erica, coming up a breakthrough between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the next steps for gaza as a framework for a ceasefire deal comes into focus. and the june jobs report is dropping just minutes from now. or we finally on the way to rate cuts every weekday morning. here are the five things you need to know to start you're de, cnn's five things with kate bolduan,

5:23 am
sina starts sunday and even discovery and stream on max with dr. sanjay gupta report. but last all timers, patient sunday at eight on cnn all right. knew this morning a major development in the nearly nine months long israel-hamas war i, senior administration official tells cnn that the quote, framework is in place for a ceasefire and hostage deal, while not guaranteed, this comes after a phone call between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu yesterday we're joined. now by cnn political and global affairs analyst barak ravid. baraka, good to see you. so put this into perspective for us. how significant might this development be? >> good morning. i think it's very significant. i think a lot of the issues that we've discussed for months between the parties that every time there was this some sort of one step forward, to step back situation? a lot of those
5:24 am
issues have been resolved. these are the big issues, the principles for the four possible deal. but once you settle or you agree on the big principles, you can move to a detailed negotiations on issues like who exactly are the hostages? to be released while the palestinian prisoners were going to be released so i think there's been a very significant progress. it's still not the point where the parties can move to detailed negotiations, but it's very, very close. >> so president biden here, obviously it's been pushing for a deal for months now. and in that phone call with the prime minister, biden said, it's time to close so what is it going to take especially when you talk about those issues at stake? what will it take to nail it down? >> so first, i think it's very clear that biden wants a deal. he wanted the deal before his debate with president trump
5:25 am
with former president trump and i think he wants a deal even more after the debate with former president trump but putting that aside so the head, the director of the israeli mossad is in doha today to meet with qatari prime minister in order to try and solve the final issue that prevents the parties from moving too detailed negotiations in this issue is hamas demand to get a written a written commitment from the u.s. qatar and egypt that when the parties negotiate a second phase of the deal, a few weeks after the implementation starts, that these negotiations will not end until there is an agreement on the second phase of the deal. this means that basically hamas wants to commitment that the ceasefire will continue almost regardless of any other development and the israeli say, we cannot accept that
5:26 am
because this means that we can give hamas green light to draw this. those negotiations and drag their feet it only to get a ceasefire so in the meantime, are there any discussions or heightened discussions about a ceasefire or pause leading up to nailing down that kind of hostage deal. yeah, it does not gonna be any ceasefire or pause before the parties agree. the ceasefire will only start if the parties agree on all the details again, i think this last issue is solvable. i think it will be solved this weekend. and then the parties can move to detailed negotiations by the way, this is why you did not see the director of the cia, bill burns going to the region yet i think he's waiting to see that this last hurdle is crossed and then you also traveled to the region that's that's the intention from what
5:27 am
i understand and the parties will go into the detailed negotiations that could take something like two to three weeks to nail down really the names of the prisoners would be released, the names of the hostages will be released where exactly the idf forces will redeploy in the first phase of the deal and all of that will be agreed on in 23 weeks. there'll be this first phase of 42 days of ceasefire now, fast. >> any all right. there's the signals to look for are barak ravid? thank you so much. i mean, time president biden is under pressure. the growing list of wealthy donors threatening to close their checkbooks unless he quits. his reelection thank campaign. plus, the june jobs report coming out right now, what does it mean for inflation will dig into the numbers let me.

5:33 am
is putting together a new media strategy that includes more unscripted events and a packed public schedule. and tonight, he'll be faced with another critical tasks at one-on-one prime time interview with abc news, cnn media analyst, and axios senior media correspondence. sara fisher is joining us right now. so good to see you, sarah, what will you be looking for in the primetime event this evening? >> yeah, it really depends on the energy that he brings tonight, whether or not the remaining part of the plan, all of those public events and unscripted events that you described will continue to move forward if he doesn't show up tonight in a really clear and coherent manner, that's going to dictate whether or not the campaign and the broader democratic donor for based feels comfortable continuing to put him forward as opposed to moving quickly to find a new candidate ahead of the convention in august. the thing i will point out about tonight, it matters less that he knows about every little subject matter, every little detail in
5:34 am
number, and more of the energy that he brings to the screen. if i was prepping the president, i would vies that they focus on making sure he's well rested, making sure whatever cold he had last week has been dissipated, and that he seems really vibrant as opposed to knowing every little nitty-gritty detail. >> oh, that's interesting. you say less on substance. i mean, that's something that represented cleburne seem to glean from the debate saying he thought he was perhaps over prepared. so you're hoping that he's going to show more energy so we're also learning this morning that the president will lead a much more aggressive travel schedule and that's contrary to what even biden himself said, where he said he wants to work in more rest. so how do you have the two? so that you don't have an incumbent who's overstressed and perhaps exhibits a lot more stumbling or an uneasiness they're going to have to be really, really disciplined about how they make that travel schedule work for his energy
5:35 am
levels. >> it's been reported by my colleagues and others that president biden does well in the mornings, he tapers it's off towards the late afternoons and that evening events can be a little bit tougher. and so when it comes to this type of travel, trying to make sure that he is going to be at his most visible moments during the daylight that seems to be where he has a lot of energy and they meet doing some of that travel focus on times where he can be down and get some rest is really critical but to the point about tonight he can pack in all of the travel and try to get the moments out as much as he can that he's unscripted and he's alert. but if it doesn't go well tonight, fred, it doesn't matter if he does any of that travel because the campaign essentially stops if this interview doesn't go well. >> all right, that's abc interview was to air on sunday. now it'll be primetime friday night to night what's behind the change? do you know well, there's both parties have something to gain here. >> one for the white house, moving this up, expedites the schedule faster. they don't want this narrative to linger in the press and to linger amongst the american people that he's and capable. but
5:36 am
then for abc, they got a big primetime special. of course, they're going to require it for their sunday show. in a few days. the key thing here to understand from dearica is at the white house has been adamant that a full transcript of this interview gets published. so that way, anyone who sees him stumble can get access to what he says in full. i just don't think that really matters. i think even showing a full interview doesn't really matter. they want to make sure that it's not going to be edited to make him seem like he's stumbling more than he is. i think at the end of the day, all that really counts is that he can show up for the full thing, which by the way, we don't really have a full understanding of how long this interview is going to be. you know, this the energy for an hour-long interview is very different from a 20 minutes sit down. but he just needs to show up and get through the entire thing without stumbling. that is the key here. >> yeah. and i think people mean in an exaggerated form because everyone in normal conversation intonate, there space of talking, et cetera. so i think people are looking for the real exaggerations, if you
5:37 am
will alright. sara fisher. thank you so much. all right. erica thanks. miss morning. more major democratic donors are trying to pressure president biden to step aside a new threat actually to stop funding his campaign. abigail disney, who of course is air the disney fortune telling the new york times in an email exchange, the biden campaign and the committee supporting it will quote, not receive another dime from her less. they replace biden at the top of the ticket. now this of course, comes on the heels of calls from megadonor, reid hoffman, co-founder of netflix, to make the change democratic donor, marty dolan, it joins me now some rdx spoken with a number of donors. this week, whitney tilson telling me just two days ago, he hasn't spoken to a single democrat who thinks the president should stay in the race. where do you? stand i think we have to look at this, not as an interview on friday night. >> and not as the november election and not as without him. we're gonna end up with trump. i think our job as a party is to nominate somebody
5:38 am
who can do the job for what's going to be four-and-a-half years. you have the midterm elections out there in 2026. the person who's elected in november would be president until january of 2029. and so i think if you put everything else aside, that the simple question that the democratic leadership has to ask is, are we nominating somebody that has the confidence of the party in the country to do the job for another four-and-a-half years. and i think when you ask the question that way, it sort of leads you to the answer what that answer for you is i don't believe biden has the confidence of the party and the country that he can leave, that he can lead the country for another four-and-a-half years. >> i think it's wrong to focus on the idea of getting through one night or getting you know, just kind of creeping across the deadline to the election. if you go back in history, if you go back to franklin
5:39 am
roosevelt, when he was elected for his fourth term, and then he went off to yalta it's a negotiate with stalin there were some pretty serious mistakes made and we then had truman to put into office and we're living in a world where there are some very complex issues right now, and the question is, are we going to nominate somebody who's ready to go for the next four-and-a-half years or not? you bring up an interesting point, congressman jared huffman was on cnn yesterday and i'm paraphrasing what he said here, but essentially said it's time for democrats and his view to step back and take more of a 30,000 foot view here and said this can't be about sentimentality, it cannot be about loyalty to a person, and it can't be about a single person that it has to be the bigger picture and the bigger picture of the park party do you think the campaign gets that i don't know. >> i'm not closer to the campaigns, you know, i'll start by saying biden is a national treasurer. i mean, he's been a senator for 36 years vice
5:40 am
president for eight years. president for four years. he doesn't need to be briefed on anything. i mean, he he really knows everything there is to know. it's i agree with what you just said though, which is if you step back, we're in a very complex time. we have the war in ukraine. we have the war in israel, we have relations with china, which are, which are getting more and more complex you have 60,000 nuclear weapons in the world, and you have extremism in the united states this is a 24 hour a day job and it goes on for four-and-a-half years. it's not just a question of getting through november because of this, you know, anti-trump sentiment and the democratic party. so i think that's the standard. i think we have to look at who can do the job for four-and-a-half years. and by the way, the democratic party is full of talented people this increasingly public pressure from donors, right? >> so i mentioned abigail
5:41 am
disney in the new york times this morning, reid hoffman, damon loomed off pushing what he was calling a dem vargo telling people we'll just to stop giving money. the new york times is also reporting this morning. there's a group of donors were looking to raise as much as $100 million essentially create a pack, put that in escrow, and then if joe biden does not step aside, they will funny that funnel that money into the down-ballot races is the money starting to talk to the campaign you know, i don't i think voters all over the united states can see this. >> i have a lot of faith and the voters, i think it'll take people about a minute to come to terms of what's happened here because this is what happens in everybody's lives. they the move to a new city or they get a new job or somebody in their family gets sick and people get it. you have to deal with reality. and i think we're in a new reality for the voters now, than where we were six months ago i think there's enough money to go around to support biden or just support another candidate. i think the
5:42 am
question really is, has the party lost faith that he can be the leader for the next four-and-a-half years martin, i think it's up to you to make the decision. i'm confident he'll make the right decision, which is what we ultimately keep hearing and which is true, right. he needs to make that decision. if in fact it is decision that he wants to make at this point, marty dolan, appreciate your perspective, thanks for being with us this morning. >> my pleasure all right. >> erica, breaking news just moments ago, us jobs slowing down last month, adding 206 thousand 100,000 jobs. cnn's paula newton as joining me now to break down some of the numbers for it. so what are we looking at if i really good to see you? this is a really good jobs report post july 4th. i'm going to tell you why you just mentioned that they were down a little bit. okay. fine. we've got 206,000 jobs created. that's good news. the job market is coming into more balance and that's what everyone wants to see. it was a little bit surprising in may when jobs that are created, so
5:43 am
many jobs, but this is a much better number. and what economists were looking for employment rate, this is really interesting. it's ticked up 4.1% fred. we haven't had that kind of an unemployment rate in nearly three years listen, it's still a very balanced and robust jobs market. this is historic. we've had consecutive job gains now for three-and-a-half years it's ticking up a little witnesses nothing to concern yourself with. it means that as i said, the labor market is coming into balance a little bit more. the bright side of this is when we think about inflation and interest rates, what does it mean? it means that actually for interest rates, this might give the fed chair the guy who's responsible and his board to set interest rate policy. it might mean that they lower interest rates just by a corner point, don't want you to get too excited in. remember, helps it every little bit helps, especially when we talk, right? get about mortgages people need so much help on the mortgage rates, especially on those 30-year rates have been so high. we'll see if this puts a dent in any of that. i
5:44 am
also want to look at the actual employment picture right when we talk about the kinds of jobs that were created, there were a lot of jobs created again, surprise, surprise in health care and also in the government, the government's been spending a lot of money 27,000 and construction. friday, that'd be willing to bet if we get a decrease in interest rates, you'll see that go up and that's also good news. people want those construction jobs, but i think the bottom line is this is a good report. it means that there is that so-called soft landing, but enough wiggle room that the fed chair is going to say, look, we can give americans a little bit relief on these interest rates. the economy does seem to be slowing well, but not anywhere near recession. so all in all, a really good jobs report. the other thing they're looking at is that in terms of hourly wages, wages, there's nothing to get concerned about. especially as inflation creeps downward. i know it's that all important inflation number that is so important to so, yeah, it was amazing how impactful the jobs, growth or lack thereof might have on the interest rates. because really we know especially with real estate,
5:45 am
there's kind of a stagnation and buying as a result of interest rates being so high, absolutely. they need to see that relief, right? they got a little bit of a relief on those long-term interest rates and a few months ago and then all of a sudden they came up again. people want to know when am i going to be a bit to actually move on this real estate? one of the mortgage rate is going to look attractive. this helps, we'll wait at 9:30 to see where the markets, i think the markets are going to like this. i'm not sure how many people are trading today. i gotta be honest, but wilson kind of sleeping them so like i said, slab it an excellent jobs report post, excellent. july 4th, paula newton. great to see you. thank you so much. erica i will. the uk hasn't been telling you this morning has a new prime minister, the british government shakeup overnight and how that could impact the u.s plus ac in an exclusive ahead for you and exclusive interview with france's marine le pen, her far-right national rally party hoping to sweep to power in sunday's parliamentary elections. there. could they though kid roadblock

5:50 am
wind came on? how many should i decorated have ran have blue that's a really tough call. >> who are you if you look at the latest data? you're probably going to need a lot of those purple sprinkles how this guy really knows his stuff in the uk, a massive power shift this morning, the labour party at taking the lead here in a landslide, pushing the conservatives out of majority in parliament for the first time in 14 years. and this of course, also means a new problem i minister for the uk, the labour party's keir starmer, shaking hands with his supporters last hour as he arrived at ten downing street just after receiving the official mandate from king charles. my colleague christiane amanpour is live outside parliament at this hour. so christiane, this election marks a major shift of power to the left in the uk's parliament. interesting only this is not what we're seeing in a number of other european elections at this moment
5:51 am
that's right. >> but eric, good to be honest with you. it's more a shift to the center, center left, you're absolutely right. because what keir starmer, former human rights lohier, has done over the last few years of his leadership is move the lay labour party away from the very far left under jeremy corbyn with the accusations of antisemitism and other such things that really royal the labour party made it unelected ball. and in the meantime, the tory party, the ruling conservatives for the past 14 years i had appear to shift further to the right. so it is a recalibration and it is a massive landslide. the tories have lost the biggest in their entire history as a party and there's a lot of brexit aftershocks. there's a lot of fatigue with what some have called a lack of integrity. they point to all the senate ensures that boris johnson underwent with his remember partygate and older people who just fed up a 14 years of a party that didn't seem to be delivering. so this is the
5:52 am
result that we've had overnight. actually, there's been building obviously in the polls for the past year or so it was a little bit expected. of course things happen much more quickly over there, across the taiwan as, as you know, i don't have to tell you i'm looking at this right now that there is a new prime minister. we look at this new majority in parliament. what does that mean for us-uk relations? >> well, i think is going to be good because this, this new prime minister has made no secret of being a total alliance person. he's not somebody obviously he didn't want brexit. brexit was not on the agenda at this selection where he was very, very keen and very direct on how important the transatlantic relationship is. he will want to get good trade deals if at all possible. trouble with the united states, because he's going to also try to not go back into you because that's not possible right now in the
5:53 am
british, politics wouldn't accept it but try to slowly, slowly reconfigure britain's relationship with the eu and make it less as they say friction and allow much better trading opportunities. but also is a fierce defender of nato. look, they've had some issues just like american politicians with their, with their view on israel gaza war, the labour party lost to independence for candidates over the gaza war and certain constituencies and they do want to cease fire and they wanted two-state solution and they want to put an end the carnage that's going on there since the attack on october 7 as i mentioned, other elections are happening. >> i know you just had an exclusive interview with marine le pen, who is the figurehead of the french far-right national rally party. boy that did not perhaps turnout as emmanuel macron wanted it to in the first round there the snap parliamentary elections what did she have to say about her
5:54 am
party's gains so far and what she is anticipating in the second round will first and foremost, marine le pen, who is the founder of the national rally, the leader of the national ready bradley. and before that of the national front, which is the party, have father and others founded, which was rooted in racism, anti-semitism, holocaust denialism. she has worked like a devil to re-brand and to make this a apparently palatable, quote, unquote mainstream alternative, it is an extreme example of how they have worked to try to do this and even though independent economic analysts will say that macro, over his time in office has improved the french economy, has brought unemployment down, has been a good steward by enlarge, they capitalize on what many countries he's a feeling and that is cost of living rises and the pinch of cost of living. france's
5:55 am
economy is not an outlier compared to like sit, let's say the u.s. economy and that's where it's had inflation, the inflation is coming down, but still marine le pen has campaigned hard on this and branded macro or catastrophic steward of the economy when i asked her about rebranding and how she had brought her far right. policy or party this far, she pushed back and said some quite extraordinary stuff. you take a listen the fact that you're party did so well in the european elections. and so did giorgia meloni's party, and so did afd. i mean, afd is, you know a little bit like the former national front is very scary. the fact that the far right is becoming a very, very powerful force in europe. and who knows, maybe now with all that's going on in the united states, donald trump might win a second term how do you see europe changing madam, the ball past of all, let me double
5:56 am
festival. >> i strongly dispute the term far-right, which in your country refers to small groups that are extremely radical and violent if you like, the equivalent, you don't think you don't think you're far right? the equivalent of what we are in the united states is between the center right and center left. with regards to ideas. so i think this, you're kidding me right? yes. yes. i'm telling you very honestly, i think this use of the term fall right carries a stigma and is very pejorative. it does not correspond to what we are not at all to what the far-right is in the united states so you can see that she didn't like the terminology because she's worked hard to make this a different looking party, but it is still rooted in an anti-immigrant policies. >> it has got this thing that she calls national priorities. some people call it national preference to give housing and
5:57 am
all sorts of other benefits and jobs two french citizens, even though foreigners pay into the tax system tim and the social security system. so it's still has those issues. there are still members of the party actually standing right now for election who have said terrible things, racist things anti-semitic things but she told me she wouldn't accept that they're just black sheep, but they are running so she said, if they, if we find out that they broken, our rules will take them to account. but the point here there is a far grouping that's growing in europe and they have very specific nationalist ideas that revolve around, just like in the united days. basically immigration and anti-immigrant policies and we're seeing, and we're seeing it in france to christiane attract more young voters. >> part of that is some of the younger we're party heads that they have in there, but it is fascinating. it was really interesting to hurt here her reaction there. i appreciate it as always, i look forward to
5:58 am
seeing your full interview. cristian's full interview with marina and is it 1:00 p.m. on cnn international. and tomorrow, you can catch it at 11:00 a.m. eastern on the amanpour, our fret i look forward to that. thank you so much, erica what has become the longest trial in georgia's history as now halted indefinitely, the case against jeffrey williams, aka grammy winning rapper yung is a controversial one, is his ysl brand, just a record label or a street gang driving up atlanta's crime rates. cnn's nic valencia sat down with the rapper's father. take a look. >> it doesn't take much to get any loving dad talking about his son, especially one who feels partly to blame for getting them into trouble. >> i said indictment is most because i told my son and loyalty instead of friendship, this is why he's gone through this because he was loyal to people that's my that's my jeffrey lamar williams has taken that idea of loyalty and
5:59 am
turned it into a worldwide image as the artist young thug, a grammy award winning rapper, who promotes his ysl brand, young slime life. prosecutors alleged the term is euphemism for life filled with street crime young thugs, dad claims it's a gangster rap gimmick. and the reason fulton county d. a, fani willis wants to make an example out of him. >> he recalls with prosecutors have used testimony from co-defendants already tried for their crimes, as well as rap lyrics from young thugs own songs as purported evidence. >> the violin and crimes were committed at the rapper's behest. he denied the charges is our allegation that they operated as a criminal street gang and commence to do havoc in our community. >> willis and her team are juggling a lot including prosecuting donald trump in a separate racketeering case in the same courthouse just five floors above. why do you think the de is trying to use jeffrey
6:00 am
williams as an example, if he didn't have a name, who wouldn't be having this conversation speaking to us from his podcast studio williams senior said his son is no gangster or crime boss, shock collar involved in a street war as alleged by investigators. he insist his sons only wrongdoing was hanging with the wrong crowd. is there any merit to this indictment? was there ever a war going on between young thug and wiifm lucy, were you ever targeted was your safety ever at risk? >> i run by myself every day i go to i go to every part the town every day i can go in awareness, sit in by myself every day, young thugs trial is already the longest in georgia history. the jury selection process alone took nearly ten months. the rico case has been unwieldy featuring no shortage of bizarre moments. a codefendant in an accused of a hand-to-hand drug exchange in the courtroom another co-defendants stabbed multiple times inside the county jail, and earlier this month, a
