yeah. i mean, this is the ongoing question, right. because it's a question not just about sara fisher. is he the best candidate to run now? you see the best candidate to run the country for the next four years. >> yeah, and that's what a lot of the headlines that i've been reading about and foreign press are trying to get at particularly as it pertains to nato, one of the questions that everyone is asking is do joe biden has been a unifier of nato? is he equipped to be able to continue on that mission four years out, we don't expect this war in ukraine greene to decimate anytime soon. and so they're going to need that support. and then the other question is, let's say joe biden is not the nominee strong enough to defeat donald trump. what does natal look like in a trump world, as matt says, only time will tell, but we do know that pulling back some of that support is absolutely on his agenda, and i've spoken former senior trump administration officials who said he will pull out of nato. will see thanks so much to our panel. appreciate you joining us on this monday morning after the long holiday

weekend. thanks so much for all of you for joining us as well. i'm jim sciutto in washington, cnn news central starts now all right. >> breaking this morning, hurricane beryl makes landfall on the texas coast millions are on high alert for flooding and life-threatening storm surge a new reporting on what's happening inside the white house now, as president biden faces what a key democratic senator calls a critical week crunch time to prove his doubters was wrong as lawmakers head back to washington for the first time since biden's disastrous debate, performance. and boehly agrees to plead guilty to defrauding the u.s. government but families of victims of two fatal crashes, see the company gone off too easy. zero is out today. i'm john berman with kate bolduan and this is cnn new set and the

breaking news hurricane beryl is tearing through texas when you're getting fresh reports from the ground is already nearly 400 people without power. that's a brand new number. beryl made landfall as a category one storm just south of galveston. those are live pictures right now it's either wind whipping through that parking lot. this is the earliest hurricane to hit texas in nearly 40 years this morning, there are fears that storm surge can reach seven feet that is easily life-threatening. there are also concerns for flash floods and tornadoes. let's get right to meteorologist derek van tanno, who is import lavaca, texas with the latest derek, what are you seeing? yeah john, we are on the ground and the central texas coastline feeling the effects of the first us landfall and hurricane of the 2024 season, which promises to be a very active season and we're getting our first taste

of it already. >> over 90 mile per hour winds reported along the coastline near metrick ota. we have also seen two to five feet of storm surge above normal high tide levels. and the power has flickered on and off at our location. but now getting some of the new numbers from power outages, showing that over 400,000 customers now without power mit, the majority of them along the coastline, the storm has been on our radar for nearly two weeks. it's made three landfalls. now here in the continental united states states. and it has been a significant storm of note, hurricane beryl, 80 miles per hour. that's a category one hurricane but there had been so many threats associated with this system currently right now, harris county, including metropolitan houston under a flash flood warning until 8:00 a.m. this encompasses over 150,000 people but also several other people all the way to the coastline as well. this is because rain has been incessant. we've reported over

a half a foot and some locations houston, over three inches, one-and-a-half at the moment, but there are other locations around the metro that have reported three inches with more to come. this storm could dump over a foot of rain. so that is why there is this flash flood warning. some of the heaviest precipitation moving through the area, the right quadrant of a hurricane that's the most dangerous part, john, you've been in these storms enough to know that they spin up tornadoes quickly. about a half-hour ago, there was a tornado warning in houston metropolitan and that watch for a tornado lasts until 10:00 a.m. this morning, continuing where we've got the storm surge component to this as well. and galveston bay has already reported four feet and rising above normal high tide values the wind threat, of course, ongoing with gusts in excess of 50 to 60 miles per hour knocking down the power and blowing some of the transformers around us and behind us as well. this storm is not another harvey. it is going to move quickly out of the region and that means it will limits the extreme

rainfall potential for the storm. but nonetheless, flash flooding is still a concern. this is a different storm, but it only takes one to cause the problems, right? yeah. and it's still hurricanes, still moving through the state derrick van dam on the coast. thank you very much. keep us posted throughout the morning. okay. >> well, so new reporting today that all is not well inside the white house at the moment, sources telling cnn aids are unsure of what's to come amid increasing pressure on president biden to step aside more and more house democrats now joining in to call on biden to end his presidential run. cnn has learned half dozen high-ranking lawmakers voiced concerns during a private phone call yesterday with democratic leader hakeem jeffries, one senior democratic aide, saying the call was brutal even before the call, though at least five house democrats have publicly stated and come forward to say they believe it is time for biden to step i've aside that they need a new nominee. cnn's kayla tausche at the white

house for us. kayla what is going on in the white house right now? what are you hearing kate, the mood inside the white house is fondant. >> it is anxious. aids are reeling from the disastrous debate that the president had just a little over a week ago. and there's widespread uncertainty about what but the course for word looks like with the president keeping up an ambitious official schedule, digging his heels and saying that he is not going anywhere, even as calls are growing for the president to step aside and to allow himself to be replaced on the top of the democratic ticket. later this week, the president will be hosting world leaders from more than 30 nato countries here in washington before heading the campaign trail and going to battleground michigan on friday, all in attempt to shore up confidence in his presidency and his reelection bid and to prove that he is up to the task of reelection that coming as many on the other end of pennsylvania avenue are starting to raise serious concerns about the future for

the democratic party and down-ballot races as well. you mentioned that called that minority leader hakeem jeffries convened yesterday with senior members of the house, democratic party, where about half a dozen called for the president could be replaced on the ticket. and there's going to be a meeting convened on tuesday for the entire house democratic caucus. that could result in a meeting called at the white house or an official letter being sent to president biden. those next steps are not yet clear on this senate side. virginia senator mark warner convened a group yesterday too. also explore their concerns. but a meeting that that group had planned for monday has been scrapped after widespread leaks of their efforts. a source tells cnn, now, of course, president biden is going to want to talk about nato this week with all of those world leaders here, he's expected to hold a press conference france later this week and they want to talk about, ukraine, china, and plans for all nato allies

to reach a critical defense spending target that's come under fire from donald trump. but of course, the backdrop to all of this is how uncertain the future for president biden's reelection bid will be. okay? >> absolutely. and lawmakers heading back to washington now for the first time since that debate, a critical week ahead. thank you so much, kayla, coming up for us still boeing has agreed to plead guilty to defrauding us regulators, and there's new details on how much the company will have to okay as victims, families say that they are rejecting and that they oppose this deal. plus, donald trump is set to announce as vp pick at some point, what? president biden's campaign prices that he's dealing with now throwing a wrench in donald trump's plans and a new warning why the secret service fbi and dhs yes. are putting out an assessment saying the republican convention next week could be a quote, unquote, attractive target for violent extremists i. love milwaukee, cnn is live from milwaukee as republicans

got a wild week ahead of us. >> shark week, baby, i do this a speedo. know. i'm going to test my string against a shark sure hosted by john cena this week and eight on discovery and stream on max. all right. breaking overnight, boeing has agreed to plead guilty to one charge of conspiracy to defraud the government over 2737 max plane crash as the killed 346 people boeing will pay up to $487 million in fines. families of the crash victims though, are furious. they say this is a sweetheart deal that would allow boeing to escape responsibility. cnn aviation correspond to pete mantissa is here with the latest on this. pete, what are you learning this morning? this is another huge blow to boeing's reputation. john, the company not saying all that much this morning, only that it is

reached an agreement in principle with a department of justice. but here are the terms of that deal according to the government, boeing is being fined $487 million. the government will also be appointing an independent monitor to oversee billing for the day next three years. but the biggest part of this is that boeing is agreeing to plead guilty to criminal charges. remember, this is for the 737 max eight crashes the lion air crash, and 2018, the ethiopian air crash and 2019, 346 people killed in those two crashes abroad. boeing is now agreeing to plead guilty to defend rotting the federal aviation administration about the magsafe that boeing hid major design changes that lead to those two crashes. originally, boeing was able to reach a settlement with the government to avoid criminal charges, but that deal came with three years of probation and the january 5 door plug blot and then alaska airlines 730 37 max nine happened just days before that deal was set to expire. so that may the

department of justice look at that original deal again ultimately triggering this new deal. now, victims, families are calling this a sweetheart deal because they wanted boeing to face a $25,000,000,000 fine paul castle is the attorney leading the civil case here and in a statement he says, this sweetheart deal fails to recognize that because of boeing's conspiracy, 346 people died. this deceptive and generous deal is clearly not in the public interest of note here is that boeing executives themselves avoided criminal charges. it is very rare for a major corporation like boeing to ever be charged with a crime by a federal government. much less agree to a guilty plea. john all right. pete montane, obviously this is developing keep us posted. thank you very much for your reporting this morning senate democrats set to meet tomorrow to discuss president biden's political future. will the echo calls for him to end his reelection? bid?

water is a significant storm. i know that they're talking about a category one of what we have in a significant storm event right now, we've had probably eight hours so significant wins, we just went through the eye of the hurricane and had a little bit of a law one. now i'm i'm listening outside and that backside is coming. our biggest fear is that our citizens want to get out and be curious about what it looks like, and try to drive around and see the damage that is not what we need. i'm urging everybody if they don't mind stay home. we've got several more hours of the extremely high winds, maybe even higher winds than we've seen. and certainly a lot more rain absolutely. >> i mean, you said eight hours of high winds i was just looking at the latest tracker, some wind gust of 80 miles an hour in matagorda. >> i mean, that can do a ton of

damage in and of itself how is the power situation right now? >> the last time i checked and talk to tour a power companies, we had about about a third of our county was without power we do have reports of some power output, power lines down not energized, but down we've had, like i said, we've got tree limbs tremendous amount of debris that's on the road, waters covering the roadways now, the good news is our power crews are on standby and they pre-stage, ready to come in and take care of the power outages. but once it's safe we don't want anybody to get out i'm in the middle of this storm our first responders are ready to go, are counting crews, are ready to clear the roads, but we don't wanna do anything right now. we've still got a couple of hours of this storm. it is a fairly slow-moving storm, about ten miles an hour.

we still have a lot of wind and a lot of rain event to come up i'm urging everybody to please stay and stay off the roads. give our teams an opportunity to do their assessments once it becomes safe. so we're still hours into this we probably need another three-and-a-half to four hours just to get through the storm. and then do our assessments. >> yeah. good news is this when you're talking about a slow storm, this isn't harvey, it's not going to the forecasts don't have it sitting in parking on top and just bringing the disaster that harvey brought. but still you still have a slow-moving storm rolling through. i've seen that there was a voluntary evacuation order kind of put in put out there on friday due do you think people stay? do you think people left? what do you think? >> no, i think it thank goodness. i think a lot of our folks down along the coastal areas took very good heed of

that. i was down there. i'm losing track of days. i'm sorry. i was down there a couple of days ago and just about all of the wreck recreational vehicles they rvs had been we pulled out. people were already boarding up their houses down along our coast and the sargent matagorda and the waterfront of polantz. these houses are designed, they're built with understanding that high tides can move water over the roads so that wasn't that wasn't thanks. back. did we did expect to have significant flooding? we were hearing a five-foot storm surge on top of the wave action. so our feet are folks down there are responded as they always do. we just got off a holiday weekend. we have been uniform beaches along matter border and we just got off a holiday week in weekend and so we were really worried about our visitors, but

they were able to get out early enough now so that's happening just as we expected significant flooding road closures all along the gulf coast we're may city is about 17 to 20 miles inland. and we're experiencing significant rain street flooding. a lot of debris on the ground. and again, power outages. >> and as you said, is always important to reinforce where people can hear it if they have power and can in here are conversation is used as you said, you've still got 34 hours left of this before it's safe enough for your crews to get out there to start cleaning things up so people need to be real careful because you're still in the middle of this thing, mitch. >> thank you very much for jumping on with us. we're going to keep a close eye on this, subtract this with you, which sames thank you. again. thank them enough for us force coming up for us. a surprise twist and frehse the country now facing kind of a new political limbo right now for a left-wing

laying out how the fallout from president biden's debate performance. >> it actually forced donald trump and his team to rethink their planned roll-out of trump's vp moment nominee and made give me even impacting who the pick will be. three men appear to be the most likely candidates still, marco rubio, jd vance, doug burgum. you see there. so you didn't steve can tour and has all of this new reporting for us is joining us now. so steve, all the focus on president biden right now, how is it impacting donald trump? >> trump's campaign is entering a very critical stretch. as you mentioned, he has to name his his running mate in the coming days. his he has a convention that starting in just one week, he has a planned rally in derail on tuesday and other one for pennsylvania this weekend. and they had been planning these events under the assumption that but they would be the focal point of this stretch. and instead they are no longer operating under that assumption. it's the expectation is that they will continue to have to compete with biden for the country's

attention. and that is affecting how they're announcing this roll-off, even if they wanted to announce it this week it would be quite difficult knowing that at any moments, biden could drop some news about his political future. there could be another twist in that ongoing saga that would still attention from what is supposed to be one of a candidates most important choices. and when it comes to the vp search itself we are told that donald trump may not have even come to a decision yet if some role as allies don't think he has made a choice, and if that's the case, the expectation there is that what's happened over the past couple of weeks, most certainly is affecting the, the calculus for making a decision. and how could it not the political reality has changed drastically. they have been planning for someone when who could go up against vice president harris in a debate? well, what happens if she's suddenly the presidential nominee? and this is also a re brought into the spotlight of fact that's whoever is the pick must be able to step into that job right away. can all

three of the people that you mentioned, the front runners in this race do that. that's part of the calculus. they're graph to consider going forward and steve, two of the vp contenders, if you will, they were asked yesterday about donald trump's promise of retribution. >> should he win? how did they navigate that? >> quite differently? and you can take a listen to how jd vance and marco rubio responded right here i would absolutely support investigating prior wrongdoing by our government, absolute donald trump is talking about appointing a special prosecutor to investigate joe biden for wrongdoing joe biden has done exactly that for the last few years and has done far more in addition to that, he was president for four years. he didn't go after hillary clinton and ten, he didn't go after joe biden didn't go after barak obama. he'll be too busy undoing all the damage of this disastrous presidency so

clearly, two very different responses yet, jd vance suggesting that yes president trump would be within his rights to go after the biden. biden and his administration marco rubio, suggesting that this country should move forward. i should note doug burgum didn't make any appearances yesterday on the sunday shows? >> it's good to see you, steve. thank you so much for reporting as always, john, with us now, republican strategists, your michael singleton and cnn political commentator public al and paul. i want to go to you first on the situation surrounding president biden because you're exactly like a outside observer here. you've been in discussions, you've been on conference calls, you've been talking to people in the democratic world. so where do things stand this morning, 7:33 a.m. on the east coast. what do you see happening well, i'm politicians are herd animals. excuse me. and the members are now coming back. excuse me me. the members are coming back from their fourth of july recess. they they had this call yesterday with hakeem jeffries. there was just the ranking members of

senior-most and i was not on the call, but the people i've talked to, it was a real divide. several of the really established party leaders all on the call wanted biden to step down. several didn't the key thing that i'm watching is biden is still very solid in his support among black leaders in the congress that's gonna be the thing to watch right now. he's lost raul grijalva as a hispanic of congressman. nice lost seth moulton as a moderate lloyd doggett who's liberal. but the last piece of biden's swore furcation is that utterly important essential support he's gotten the black community that's how joe biden got to be president. the real heart and soul, a democratic party, black voters, especially black women, and he's been solid with them. will that crack this week? we don't what happens if it doesn't paul then joe biden's give me the nominee me if he is

he is effectively the nominee. this is what so maddening isn't millions and millions of people have voted for joe biden. i'm one of them their votes should be honored but something has happened. millions and millions of those folks who voted for biden most of them candidly in the polling are saying now, we saw the debate. we don't think he can beat donald trump. that's the thing. parties, political parties are not a family. robert frost, he said families where home is where when you show up, they got to take and they're not a church parties exist to win and more and more democrats are telling me they don't think biden can win. not that he hasn't been a great president. he's been my god, he's been the most consequential first-term president since lbj? not that he's not a great guy. i love him. there's a depth of personal affection for him that's beyond almost any politician. i know. it's this question of can he win and more and more democrats are saying he can't win. and we cannot afford donald trump, who wants to be a dictator, he says for a day mr. michael, i don't know if you had a chance to hurt

here. steve can turn reporting there. but inside trump world there's a guy who wants to be in the spotlight, donald trump, every minute of every day he wants to roll out his vp pick, but it's complicated right now by the fact that, that all the heat and the light is on the democratic side do you think how frustrating do you think that is for donald trump right now? i don't think it's frustrating at all, john. i mean, when your opponent has a self-inflicted wound and you're seeing that the polling data has showcasing that is continuing to widen the gap between you and your opponent in terms of your advantage, you would like to allow that to fester for as long as you possibly can. because during that time, you're spending more, more of that increase in your resources, having more fundraisers, trying to target more small dollar individuals so that you have a larger pool there. you're focusing on the battleground states, potentially lining up radio ads, television ads, opening up more field offices hiring more

state directors and some of those very crucial states where the differences in georgia where 11,000 or arizona, 10,000, wisconsin, 22,000. so you're using this opportunity to further strengthen your operations. now the question becomes for the trump campaign, at what point do you announce your vp running mate? do you run the risk of taking attention away from your opponent who is definitely struggling right now. and i think that's going to be a part of a problem to see. do you do it now or do you wait until next week during the convention? i would advise at least trying to get through this week to allow the biden campaign to have more damage. >> it's your michael since he hasn't named his running mate yet, you have chance to weigh in you'd like to see of the people being flipped right now? sure. michael, who would you like to see as a running mate? i mean, like there are only two names for me, john, to be honest with you, dr. ben carson and i'm a little biased here because i worked for him for a very long time and senator marco rubio and i'm looking at those two for this reason, i know a lot of people say, oh, ready made still matter, that's not actually true.

>> there's some fascinating data from ucla and a couple other ivy league institutions that suggests that a running mate on the margins, the right running mate can make a substantial difference in a very key race. i'm looking at carson because you're looking at potentially 15 is 16 point increase among black men from 12% and 2020, i think that's mathematically possible. i'm looking at ruby gill because we've seen an increase in latino support for donald trump's. so either of those two who can increase a marginal victory, i think would be a smart move for trump so paul, i gave you a little bit of a break here. >> but i want to get back to the situation at hand. i mean, honestly, every minute of the day that passes right now, it's sunday too big story because we've never been through something like this in our adult political lives. paul how long do you think realistically the democrats have here? i mean, do they have to get it done this week before the republican convention? would they ever, if he weren't to step aside, you think biden whatever do it during the republican convention. i mean, what's the timeframe here

well, they have literally at least until their convention in august, the democrats do the problem is they only have 119 days to win the whole election. >> and each de is precious and i'm sure mr. trump, it's it's probably killing. i loved hearing sure. michael's analysis for socrates brilliant. and but he's thinks like a strategy is not a narcissist right? he's thinking the old napoleonic crito never interrupt your opponent when he's destroying himself. but mr. trump, as you know, i maybe i'm not being fair because i really don't like him, but he's seen somewhat self-absorbed. and so he's going to find a way to get into this story but that the democrats, this is the problem they have to sort this out and every hour that they have not done so is really hurting them. you're seeing the democratic party has to be united right now. and right now, you're seeing divisions. i mean, lifelong allies turning against each other as they fight over whether biden is the best one to beat trump, it's been the only issue since

trump's slithered down that escalator in 2015 which democrat is the best to beat trump because i'll be candid even as a democrat, there's not a pro biden coalition in american, not a majority there is an 80 majority and so the democrats have to have the person who can best put that together. the last election, it was clearly biden and he won this time. you get at least half a democrat saying we're not so sure anymore public, alice or michael singleton who is thinking like a strategist not a narcissist. >> i feel like that might be something for your business card there should michael. thank you. i don't even know what to say to that one, john. you fall i go with that. >> let's stick with that. gentlemen. take it. thank you all right. >> so to help there to help afford their dream wedding halls, the mozi in an alley, perkins, they took crown second jobs as uber eats delivery drivers. the couple set weekly, even nightly quotas for their

deliveries around the phoenix area to hopefully meet their mark park then one night paul got an idea to add a personalized note to each order, a handwritten note, if you will. and with each bag that included his venmo. and that is where aircraft hernandez comes in. erica got paul's note with or chipotle order posted it to tiktok and from there. q. the donation when it said i'm trying i'm working on the side to give my fiance the wedding she deserves that was it. >> that's all it took it's alarming how positive it's been. >> you didn't the scope that it's really going to be true so this is. now had more than 32 million views. paulon aly have now exceeded for savings goal with two weeks is fair. and erica has also now been added then to their wedding guests as well. she should it's a beautiful story, gumming up still for us. a new warning from federal and local law enforcement ahead of next

analyst and former deputy director of the fbi. anyway, what kind of threats are we talking about here john, we're looking at the whole gamut here. >> unfortunately. and i can tell you from my experience of trying to protect events like this presidential inaugurations, political conventions, all sorts of things. you have the basic the ingredients that lead to a potential terror threat. and that is a large pre-planned, publicly scheduled event that's going to attract a massive media presence. extremist groups that are looking to commit violence, they want to do that in a way to maximize casualties, in a way that the world can see though the fact that you have cameras here. and of course the presence of high-ranking high-profile political figures really opens up the app. sure to all kinds of opportunity for extremist groups. now, we should say that they're according to the fbi and the secret service. there have been no credible threats targeting

the republican national committee at this time. but these are the sorts of things that security professionals are worried about i've been to every republican convention since 1996. >> and one thing i noticed that all of the mandy is a huge amount of security. i mean, these things are locked down pretty tight. so are there any additional preparations? are extra things or is it just gonna be the normal complete security we see well, you're going to see that typical security package. you're going to see frozen zones were unauthorized. vehicles are not allowed to get close to official events and things like that. you're going to see local security and law enforcement creating areas where people can exercise their first amendment rights but hopefully do so in a peaceful way, separate from each other. you don't want a big space where it kind of groups with opposing views are forced together into one area. or they could maybe come into conflict. it starts some sort of problem

and that way so you're going to see all those same things that you've seen time and time again. but right now, we know that we're at a period of heightened threat because of what's going on in the world, we have individuals affiliated with isis who've been staging attacks and other parts of the world, minos, some of them have smuggled themselves into the united states in the last few months, we know that supporters of hamas could potentially be looking to strike out in a way targeting the government for our our involvement in the conflict with israel. so there's a lot of things for our security professionals to try to keep their eyes on here. very quickly this threat also mentioned the possibility of foreign intelligence well, just services trying to gather information at the convention what does that mean john, these are great opportunities for foreign spies to both collect information about who shows up at the convention, who's doing

what, understanding that et are, where the relationships are within our political leadership structures whose kohn, fabien with you that sort of thing. but also to gain access to those individuals. the first step for any intelligence collector is to get access to a target to start to build a relationship of trust with some one who might have access to people or information that's of interest to that foreign government. so you have a really a collection point right here where many of those top political leaders, people with access that information could be in one same place at the same time. and if fama, foreign spies, that's where i'm going that week. yeah, conventions are like x says fiestas. so andrew mccabe, nice to see you this morning. thank you very much cia director bill burns is in cairo today for talks to try and put forward a hostage and ceasefire deal. >> between israel and hamas. one potential promising move hamas appears ready to

reconsider its demand all along. that israel agree to a permanent ceasefire every for any deal can be reached. that is according to a senior hamas official. so we'll see how long that sticks after cairo burns will head to qatar to try to continue his work to freedom hostages still being held by hamas. now, nine months into this war in gaza and new this morning, at least 22 people are dead, more than 60 injured ukraine after officials say dozens of russian missiles at multiple cities during rush hour, ukraine's largest children's hospital and some residential buildings, they were badly damaged in this a cnn producer on the ground at the hospital says people left their cars to help police and security services sift through the rubble cranium. president zelenskyy says the exact number of casualties is still not known right now. and jury selection begins tomorrow and alec baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial in new york in new mexico. today, his defense team and prosecutors, they're going to be in court at a hearing on what evidence

and testimony will be allowed at trial. you will remember the cinematographer halyna hutchins was shot and killed during the filming of baldwin's movie, russ back in 2020 one, the actor was pointing a gun at hutchins during rehearsal. when it fired, baldwin insists he never pulled the trigger. the film's armorer was convicted of involuntary and slaughter in march. and wnba rookie angel reese is etching your name in the history books. all ready. she notched her 13th consecutive double-double on sunday, a new league record. she put up 17 points and also had 14 rebounds for her chicago sky, even though they lost to the seattle storm. reese's now we pass wnba great candace parker's 12 game double-double streak back in 2009, 2010. that's a double-double in our business sorry what's a double-double in our business you anchor two shows and have many people watched both. >> i mean, you acre she's done it on bajillion w saying i hold

the record for double-doubles. >> coincidentally. all right knew this morning, french president emmanuel macron has rejected his prime minister's resignation in is asking him to stay on to ensure the stability of the country. the prime minister tendered his resignation following the stunning results in parliamentary elections, left-leaning parties, won the most seats blocking the far-right national rally party, which had been poised for victory still there is no absolute majority for anyone which could mean chaos. cnn's jim berman is live in paris at the national assembly this is something jim absolutely one of the reasons we're here is that we expect in the next few minutes some of the first of those elected deputies are going to start her arriving here less than 24 hours after the election but in any case, the way that they are divided as something that's going to be a real conundrum for preston macron. >> i think we've got a slide that shows the makeup of this new parliament. and the left

bring sort of an alliance of very loose coalition of left-wing parties which range from everything from the communist party to the center-left. they're going to hold the most number of seats. however, they can agree among themselves about who should be the prime minister they're not going to be able to. i don't think at this point anyway, to be able to make a recommendation to president macron, lot of who it should be. the other parties is basically broken up, the parliament broken up into thirds with the centrist party of emmanuel macron and coming in second and the national rally party, which we all were worried about drove a lot of people too. so that left-wing alliance basically did not do so well, they came in third. so it's going to be a trend of a mess for the president. he's got to figure out who's gonna be prime minister but either at the moment, just as you said named the previous prime minister as a temporary prime minister and urging him to carry on at least to the olympics job. >> yeah, the olympics are

looming the whole world is literally watching france or will be this summer in this moment of chaos, i have to imagine they want some kind of stability is yet yeah, exactly. >> and especially if there's one thing of an incident or anything breaks out that i have the interior minister has got to be sure they've got they've got to have some power behind it. the various apparatus of the state here all right. >> jim benjamin at the national assembly for this historic moment, jim, thank you very much. okay. it really is fascinating. and president biden is now set toes and dozens of nato liters in washington this week for some of the most pressing issue on the agenda for world leaders gathering status of ukraine, and also assessing china's support for russia. but on the sidelines in the backdraft, in the back ground overhanging all of it is old so the world watching to see how president biden is able to perform, as we know, this is a critical week for the president joining us right now is evelyn farkas, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for russia, ukraine, and eurasia.

she's now the executive director of the mccain institute. it's great to see you, everyone. it's been it's been a moment. thank you for coming in. let's talk about the summit in terms of the needs, what the leaders need from the summit first and foremost, what does president biden need from this summit well you, know, president biden has three big audiences that he's looking to impress. i guess it would be the best verb he is looking to impress. of course, the domestic audience, which is your last point there and mostly that, that really means high level officials in congress, people well, who will have influence about whether he's going to be the democratic candidate the second audience, of course, are our allies and partners. they are looking for are president to reaffirm and really put out a strong message about unity. this is the 75th anniversary of nato. it's an accomplishment in and of itself that the

alliance is still going and going strong, and then third audience are our opponents. so you mentioned russia, china. these countries are watching the united states are watching our president. >> and there is a lot of uncertainty. i kind of hanging over the whole gathering. you've got uncertainty around biden as you were just it's mentioning around the leadership in europe as well, are just talking about the kind of the huge surprise that happened in france around the server. the surge of far-right politicians, the nato averse momentum kind of gaining power in europe. and also here in the united states with donald trump i mean, i want to play a moment just to remind folks of the cnn debate kind of encapsulating this, listen you should guy he wants to get out of nate, are you going to stay in nato? you to pull out a nato and right there it was the shrug heard round the world, if you will,

evelyn, what i play that because my question is, what is this trump proofing nato effort that i'm, that i'm hearing about and how real is it? yeah. i mean, allies kate have become really alarmed because of course former trump advisers under the last administration, last trump administration, have told us that president trump wanted to withdraw the united states from nato present, trump then more recently as a candidate for another term, told us that he's going to let russia do whatever it wants i'm quoting loosely so the allies want to make sure that everything they do can trump-proof, can protect nato, the alliance interests, the interests of all the countries that make up nato combined against anything that trump might do, including withdrawing, trying to withdraw withdrawing the united states from nato. but number one priority is making sure that ukraine has what it needs to make, sure that russia does not prevail, does not win, does not, does not get the upper hand when it comes to ukraine.

>> on that note, i wanted to ask about two other gatherings or meetings that are happening around the same time, right? you've got prime minister of india headed to russia to meet with vladimir putin for the first time since russia launched its war in ukraine they also have hungary's prime minister viktor orban in beijing and a surprise visit to meet with president xi if you add these visits up, what do you get? what do people need to be watching for their well, i think what they're trying to do here, these autocrats, i mean, they're clearly challenging the united states in our democratic allies. and i should note, including our asian allies because we have the members of, so we have our east asian allies and australia, another ally joining the nato summit. they i've been doing this now for a couple of years, and that's significant. so we have the democracies getting together collectively on the world stage, though putin and xi want to have competitive programming in the world of media has split-screen. so that
