strike in the golan heights is stoking fears of a widening conflict between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. what this could mean for the latest ceasefire talks set to start today. donald trump slamming his potential presidential opponent during a fiery stump speech why he says kamala harris is worse than president joe biden plus simone biles is back in action today as olympic gymnast, take the floor for their first competition. what we can expect to see in the coming hours live from atlanta. >> this is cnn newsroom with kim bruhuber iran is now reacting to israel's overnight strikes on hezbollah, saying the country should refrain from quote, any new adventures israel says its warplanes hit hezbollah targets deep inside lebanon, including weapons caches and what it calls terrorist infrastructure that came on the heels of a deadly rocket strike on a village in the occupied golan heights on

saturday, israel says at least 12 people were killed in 29 others wounded, including children's struck at a soccer field. >> now, this video shows they're heartbroken relatives are mourning them today, israeli officials blame hezbollah for the strike, but the group claims it had nothing to do with it. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is expected back home from the u.s. in the coming hours, said this before his departure citizens of israel, like you, i was shocked to see the horrific photos in the wake of hezbollah as murderous attack in much al shams among those who were murdered a young children who are playing soccer and others. >> all of our hearts are broken over these sites as soon as i arrive, i will immediately convene the security cabinet well, i can say that the state of israel will not let this pass in silence. we will not overlook this comes after a deadly israeli airstrike on a school in central gaza on saturday palestinian officials

say at least 30 people, including a number of children, were killed more than 100 were reported wounded one official at a nearby hospital says, most of the victims treated there were women and children israel's military says it was targeting a hamas command and control center inside the compound. >> but a palestinian civil defense spokesperson says the school was sheltering more than 4,000 displaced civilians despite the latest attacks, two sources tell cnn that high-level hostage and ceasefire negotiations are expected to resume today in rome. >> all right, we're covering this story from all angles. >> barbie nadeau is keeping an eye on the ceasefire talks in rome nada bashir is monitoring developments in the region. so let's start with you nada. what more are we learning? learning about these strikes in the golan heights but as you can imagine, kim, the druze community, still in mourning today. >> many funerals will be taking place following saturday evening deadly attack, the total place at around 6:00 p.m. targeting an area where

children were playing there soccer field, and our colleague, jeremy diamond is at the scene. he spoke to eyewitnesses. there, one eyewitness saying that they were only a matter of seconds between warning sirens going off from the actual impact of the rocket attack. of course, this has drawn real concern amongst many in the region and internationally the potential to this lead to a further escalation, as we know, of course, we have seen for months now the continued exchange of fire between the iran-backed hezbollah group in lebanon. and of course, the israeli military along that border line separating the two what is a real point of concern here is that the israeli military is now pointing the finger of blame at hezbollah. they believe that the rocket came from southern lebanon. they say that they believe this was a rocket in hezbollah's arsenal, but important to know that hezbollah has denied any responsibility for this attack. they say they were not behind this incident, but again, this comes during a time when we have seen tensions escalating.

we've heard of course warnings from the israeli military and even from us officials that the israeli military may well be preparing for a ground incursion into southern lebanon if there's exchange of fire continues, and what we've been hearing from israeli officials at this stage certainly feeds into those warning signs. the israeli prime minister, as you mentioned, returning to israel, salyut earlier than planned from washington, dc. he has said that israel will not be silent on this matter. the israeli defense minister, yoav gallant. meanwhile, he visited the sites in the occupied golan heights. he also said that has well or will pay a heavy price. israeli officials saying that his villa, that they will respond fiercely to hezbollah's actions. again, hezbollah has denied responsibility. we've heard from the lebanese government, according to state media in lebanon condemning any attacks on civilians, but also calling for a cessation of hostilities. and we've previously heard from the lebanese government saying they do not want to see a war, an all-out war between

lebanon and israel important to underscore, of course, that much of these attacks that we've been seeing, the exchange of fire is between hezbollah, the iran-backed militant group in southern lebanon, and israel not the lebanese military, but again, the lebanese government has been clearly they do not want to see an all out war, but also won't be able to stand idly by according to officials, that if indeed israel tends to attack lebanon, certainly mounting concern around the potential for this latest incident to trigger a broader escalation tensions and violence in the region. of course, what we've been hearing from hezbollah for some time now is that the attacks that we've been seeing, the exchange of fire will not come to an end until there is a ceasefire in gaza. >> all right. well, speaking of a potential ceasefire, barbie, this comes as gaza ceasefire negotiations are set to start, there again in rome. so what can you tell us about this round? >> well, you know, these, these meetings are planned for before the incident of that's going

on right now. so it's very difficult to understand exactly what the playing field is going to be like telling media is reporting that the principles have arrived in the city, but we aren't getting much of a confirmation from the italian side, certainly about where this is going to be held. what it's going to look like. >> but there is a sense of urgency, maybe not so much optimism, but there's urgency that these meetings will have some impact on the situation in gaza in terms of the ceasefire and the return of the hostages dead or alive, kim well, you say urgency but not optimism. >> i mean, there had been some sense of renewed optimism over a ceasefire and hostage deal following netanyahu's visit to the u.s. but we've been here before a deal, seemingly close only to stall so any indications that things might be different this time around well, you know, after that visit to the united states, both pressure from biden himself and vice president harris was thought to have maybe made some sort of a different, some sort of pressure going in. >> but again, the playing field

has changed quite significantly in the last 24 hours so, you know, as you said, we've been here before all of every time that these ceasefire talks get close to some sort of resolution. it seems like everything's just goes up in smoke again. but there is optimism or there was optimism. now, there's urgency. we'll see if they can bring it back around to optimism again, kim, we will see and then nauta to you underlying all of this. of course it's israel's ongoing military campaign in gaza. were there was another deadly strike there yesterday. what more can you tell us that's right. >> a deadly strike on a school in the central city of deir al balah, at least 30 people according to that's already isn't gaza and said to have been killed more than 100 others injured. and the israeli military says that it was targeting hamas infrastructure that it believes that there was a hamas in their words, command and control center in the school. but this has been denied by officials on the ground. gaza's civil defense, a local authorities saying that

some 40,000 civilians had been sheltering in this school. of course, many of those schools still standing across the gaza strip have become temporary shelters for those displaced. the vast majority of gaza civilian population is now, of course, displaced. and again, we are seeing these deadly strikes on a daily basis in areas where civilians feel that they may be safe, like schools like this one we've heard from an official, a doctor at the nearby al-aqsa martyrs hospital, who has said that the majority of casualties coming into the hospital following that strike were women and children. of course, we've been seeing strikes across other areas as well. and of course, continued evacuation orders. it's important to focus as well on the situation in southern gaza where so many of gaza's displaced civilian population have been taking refuge many in the city of khan younis have once again been ordered to evacuate to humanitarian zones we've heard from the u.n.'s humanitarian organization describing these

evacuations in order says both confusing and also a complicating the humanitarian aid operation on the ground. and what we've been seeing is a continued restrictions really on these safe zones are having been established by the israeli military on these areas that civilians are told to evacuate to, particularly in the al-mawasi coastal area an area where we have seen as strikes before, despite right. it being designated as a humanitarian zone. but we're seeing that humanitarian zone shrink in size. and so of course this is an area crammed with civilians taking shelter. they've been ordered to flee to this area i by the israeli military. but again, there is a sense that there was simply no nowhere safe left in the gaza strip that is certainly the message that we've been hearing from multiple aid organizations, including the he wants humanitarian agencies, of course, rising concern around those orders, as well as we continue to see those airstrikes as we continue to see the israeli military's offensive deepen in the south, which is not only an aerial are so many are displaced, but also an area which has proven crucial in the past few months

to get aid across into the gaza strip. and again, but warnings continue that there is simply not enough aid getting in right now like to thank both of you. >> now there was sheer in london, barbie nadeau in rome. appreciate that cnn global affairs analyst barak ravid says, all of the conflict israel is facing right now from the houthis in yemen to hezbollah in lebanon, centers on gaza. here's everything is connected at the end of the day to the war in gaza. >> and we have to start from there because what us officials for a long time told both israel and lebanon and lebanese officials took hizballah is that this will not stop. and it was clear to the biden administration that this will not stop without a ceasefire. in gaza. and i think that also in the meeting between biden and then you just last thursday, this was one of the points that the u.s. was making to these rallies. we have to

get a ceasefire and hostage deal in gaza in order to come down the north. and us officials were concerned that if you don't get a ceasefire in gaza, then you'll get exactly to where we are today. that there will be some sort of a rocket launch that will hit civilians and will lead to an a very serious escalation. and what senior us officials told me today that what happened in multiple champs in the golan heights is exactly what they've been worried about and tried to avoid for ten months the white house has condemned the deadly attacks on the golan heights for us national security council told cnn, quote, our hearts go out to the families of those who lost loved ones today. >> our support for israel security is ironclad and unwavering against all iranian backed terrorist groups, including 11 hezbollah and other world leaders are responding as well. estonia's president says he's deeply saddened by the brutal attack on civilians, including many children you foreign policy chief josep borrell says, he strongly condemns the

bloodbath. he's calling for an independent international investigation. it's urging all parties to avoid escalation. norway's foreign ministers says attacking civilians is unacceptable and it's also calling on all parties to de-escalate the situation that can lead to a major war on israel's northern front? us republican presidential candidate donald trump condemned the attack during a campaign rally, while also blaming the white house serious where we begin, i want to condemn the evil attack on israel that took place earlier today, a missile launched by hezbollah killed at least a dozen children, young children the savage hezbollah terrorists struck these children with an iranian precision missile. >> dozens more were for wounded in the attack. and sadly, the death toll is probably going to go very substantially higher our hearts go out to the families of these innocent children. no parent should have to suffer the terrible loss of a child at the hands of terrorists. and it will go down

as another moment in history created by a weak and ineffective united states president and vice president. they wouldn't have done this if i were the president so that was missile sample of trump's rhetoric about the middle east saturday. >> that same minnesota rally, he made an outlandish claim that vice president kamala harris wants jihadist sympathizers in the state and then if she's elected, she will flood the country with refugees from gaza. trump also attacks minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar. he told the crowd she wants to quote, turn the middle of what midwest into the middle east cnn's alayna treene has more from minnesota former president donald trump escalated his attacks on vice president kamala harris at a rally in minnesota on saturday. >> he argued that she is more radically liberal, end worse then at president joe biden as trump tried to keep a workshopping some new lines of attack and his effort to define are now he focused a lot on teaching her policies on immigration, crime, inflation,

all areas where the trump campaign believes republicans and donald trump himself polls better than democrats. now one moment i found very interesting was donald trump actually police said that people have argued to him, they thought perhaps he would be a bit nicer after the assassination attempt on his life earlier this month, he then joked that he actually got maybe he's worst now, before continuing to go after harris, take a lesson, they've been crazy liberal like kamala harris gets in the american dream is dead. she made bernie sanders looked like a moderate. >> now i also want you to watch this moment where he was about to attack joe biden and mock him and he abruptly stopped himself arguing that perhaps it was a waste of time, luck you know, when i imitated him because biden and i don't want to waste a lot of time, but because it's over now, right? he's gone. i told you he would be i told you he wasn't going to make now, i found that moment to be really interesting because it really exemplifies what i have been hearing in my

conversations with donald trump's senior advisers, which they are still trying to figure out the best way to define harris. remember, they have spent an entire election cycle thos far workshopping playbook designed to go after an unpopular 81-year-old male. now, it did seem like donald trump is struggling to adapt. now he did go after biden throughout his speech, but it was very clear on saturday that he wanted to spend more time going after harris as he recognizes that she is the real opponent alayna treene, cnn, saint cloud, minnesota earlier in the day, the republican presidential candidate was making crypto friendly policy pledges that a bitcoin summit in tennessee, while laying out a plan to create a national stockpile using us sees, bitcoin. >> trump seemed to refer to the biden ministrations department of justice as a fascist regime. doj has seized significant bitcoin assets during both we biden and trump administrations . and the former president has derided the cryptocurrency in the past meanwhile, vice

president kamala harris appeared at a fundraiser in massachusetts on saturday. she focused on reproductive health and gun violence in her pitch to voters, harris also said her campaign was the underdog in the race, and she pushed back he against trump's attacks, your shoes donald trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record and some of what he is running mate are say this is playing, we're to put that in i don't think traverse thing that has been happening over the last several years, which is that some folks would suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you deep down. somehow you're strong. if you're bowling instead of what we all know, the true measure of the strength a whole leader is based on who you've lived

we aren't clear. it is we who are intent on lifting up the people of arizona earlier were harris virtually addressed the voters of tomorrow summit she praised the power of young people in pledge to earn their vote all right, so another full day of olympic competition is underway in paris still to come a live report on what to expect today plus a gold medal could be out of reach for the canadian women's soccer team after the reigning champs for penalized for allegedly cheating all that and more coming up, please stay with to me. >> harlem is but home is also your body. last one, everyone i asked myself, why does it pilates exist in harlem so i started my own studio, get in a brick-and-mortar in new york it's not easy. chase ink has supported us from studio one to studio three. when you start small, you need some big health

action saturday, mixed fortunes fair to say for team usa in the pool, right? >> yeah. kim, it was a brilliant opening day of action. i have to tell you the two hottest tickets in town last night is slimming finals and the rugby sevens will start in the pool area, converted for about a music venue used to hosting the likes of taylor swift well, it was the rockstars. of women's swimming taking center stage. firstly, the race of champions, as it was built, the 400 meter freestyle pitting three world record holders up against each other legends from the u.s. in 2016, winner in this event, katie ledecky, finishing in bronze for her 11th olympic medal in all behind 17-year-old nadian sensation summer mcintosh of canada, with australia's ariarne titmus ultimately successfully defending her crown from tokyo in style. it's really been quite an incredible 12 months just a year ago. she underwent surgery to remove tumors from one of her ovaries and there was a great moment for coach dean boxall, you might

remember, you went the viral in tokyo with a celebrations. well, he did more of the same last night, but a reaction of a very different kind for caeleb dressel, the emotions in full flow after he helped team usa to their first gold in the pool of this games in the men's four by 100 freestyle, the 27-year-old walks out. you might remember of the world championship since 2022 saying he felt he had a monster inside him. he's been dealing with is now well-documented mental health issues, but there wasn't a dry eye in the house he returns to the podium to claim his eighth olympic gold. and afterwards as he celebrated with his wife, meghan and son, august, he said it felt very different this time around later on sunday though it's all eyes on the french swimming star, leon marshall nicknamed lubbock get by his asu college teammates. he'll be hoping to emulate the success of the rugby sevens team you took the house first gold of the games

in syria style last night, becoming the first team to ever beat fiji at an olympic games are massive moment that country and their star player and told you, paul and one celebrated in style, it was quite the dance from the seven seen following there. when will smith, miami proving read a soundtrack to their gold medal success, i'm not saying they were confident, but there is a a bit of rehearsal to that dogs, kim, i think a bronze medal for the dance, maybe listen out looking ahead now to today, amend a massive day for team usa, the men's basketball team tipping off for the first time in france as they chase gold yeah, for the likes of victor wembanyama and rudy gobert for france. >> or gianna's anteater antetokounmpo making his olympics debut with greece, albeit not the winning start. he was hoping for yesterday on sunday, it is over to arguably one of the hottest favors of any sport. here here at the games. and that is team usa

making their men's basketball debut the defending champions, jam packed with a superstars as you know, incredibly, it's steph curry's first olympic games aims, but they've got the likes of kevin durrant, three-time gold medal winner in the usa's all time leading olympics scorer nba champion jayson tatum and lebron james back in action country for the first time since at london 2012 for an are pro against nikola jokic in their opening game later, lebron is well aware the experience is going to be crucial to be able to have that very aware of where and very quick to make when it comes to it goes every game as he's on as long challenges and details kaitlan nature. >> so we noticed when you on different, you have to be on on jews messi the joker obviously, ballgown those guys it's

expectation of a different kind on the shoulders of the us women's football team. it's the start of a new era for them. and then you coach emma hayes after what you might remember was that decision? appointments of the women's world cup in australia and new zealand. but they got off to a winning start this time around victory over zambia. and they know another success against germany, who will be a much tougher prospect. they were the gold medal. what is a couple of years ago, they will see them secure a quarter final spot with a game to spare. but you have to say that feels quite a long way off for canada as things stand, they were handed that six-point deduction yesterday as punishment for the drone spy gate scandal. it doesn't mean they're eliminated. their coach has been sent home, but it does mean the tokyo you gold medal winners have to win all three of their group stage matches to be in with a chance of making it through kim all right. >> amanda davis in paris. appreciate that israel launches

called terrorist infrastructure it's coming on the heels of saturday's rocket strike on this village in the occupied golan heights. israel says at least 12 children were killed in 29 injured. the children were playing at a soccer field when it was hit by one of the rockets, a former israeli prime minister made it clear the attack could lead to a major escalation but we are not going to tweezer our way through and look for hizballah amid. lebanon, hezbollah as part of the government, because bola is part of lebanon and what lebanon needs to do tonight is move all of hizballah away from the border all the way up to the river for of latane and stopped everything they're doing. that is the only way they can prevent an all-out war current prime minister benjamin netanyahu is expected back home from the u.s. >> soon and he plans to convene his security cabinet as soon as he arrives. for more analysis, we're joined by ha hell euro,

middle east studies scholar at carnegie endowment for international peace. and he's speaking with us from malaysia. thank you so much for being here with us so we've heard israel's defense minister has promised hezbollah will pay the price. israel has retaliated with strikes ready, but you expect further retaliation. in what form do you think that might take well, thank you for the invitation to come on your program i do think that there will be further retaliation. >> actually, i don't think that there's been retaliation for what took place already. i think that that's unfortunately with the strikes that you're mentioning unfortunately, par for the course that we've seen over the past nine months since post october 7 i think the retaliation or will be termed as retaliation by the israeli government we'll only take place after netanyahu returned from his trip convince the cabinet and decides on a course

of action i think the danger that we've all been warning about, frankly, for the past nine months, is that if you don't have a de-escalation paradigm put in place pretty quickly, then escalation becomes inevitable. and you can always have catastrophe emanate from the law of unintended consequences with strikes going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth that we've seen over the past nine months. there was always the danger that somebody was going to do something that they thought might have been calculated that happened by mistake or the miscalculated. and then suddenly escalation takes place and one thing that that is possible about this attack is that his bother may well be responsible in terms of the actual missile strike, but didn't mean to actually tell argued that particular area. it doesn't really fit with the pattern that they've been engaged with so far. it also runs a different type of risk. we community in the golan

heights. of course, the golan heights, as you mentioned is occupied territory. it's syrian, israel occupied in 1967 the jewish community are linked to the jews community that are in lebanon, which has a relationship. of course, given a subpoena with hezbollah his butler, will probably be concerned and would probably be concerned about causing tensions with that community even within lebanon and south. so it's i think it's open to debate whether or not this was an intended target and of course, as joseph burrell of the european union pointed out an independent investigation needs to be conducted in order to understand quite what happened there. there's even speculation that this might have been the result of an eye iron dome malfunction. we frankly just don't know at this point so you isolated the key question. >> will this lead to all out war between israel and hezbollah? a, for israel, what

would that mean? i mean, yet another front and already the idf short of manpower so there are a few things here. >> first as you mentioned, has, as you program mentioned, hezbollah has denied responsibility if they were looking for escalation of this type. i don't think there'll be denying responsibility of the iranian ambassador to be routes also sent out a message earlier today on twitter and i think that kate's as well that the iranians and are looking for escalation. so i think that the israelis will be looking at this and thinking, okay, we're going to respond. how are we going to respond? and how can we respond without a full scale war breaking out? because i don't think the israelis want a full-scale war at present. i think that there are forces within the israeli establishment that are certainly looking for that sort of war but i think that at the moment, the on balance, they were more voices within the

establishment, particularly within the security establishment, the knows that if full-scale war were to break out, it would not be a repeat of what israel is doing to gaza. and the repercussions there. of course gaza has been a complete catastrophe for the people of gaza more than 40,000 people, mostly civilians, killed by the idf and their strikes. but the response upon israeli towns and cities and civilians has mean quite minimal in comparison because hamas simply doesn't have that capacity or capability when we talk about a strike on lebanon going beyond what's taken place so far, the risk of hezbollah responding in in-kind are escalating on israeli towns and cities. they have far more in terms of people, but also in terms of weaponry. and i think the israelis know that i think that it would be catastrophic for the israelis as well as of

course, for lebanon and eliminate right? >> listen, we'll have to leave it there, but appreciate your analysis as always. ha hellyer. thank you so much. appreciate thank you the most decorated gymnast of all time, simone biles is about to make her return to the olympics. one war on her comeback, her journey to the center incredible moment that's next for russia for trying to spy on us we were spotted hang on them. this is a secret, war. >> secrets and spots and spies. now streaming on max some days, you can feel like a spectator in your own life with chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more botox prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine before they start and treatment is four times a year in a survey, 91% of users, which they'd started sooner. >> so why wait, talk to your doctor effects of botox may

little light for them cnn sports analyst christine brennan joins us now from paris, so she's also a sports columnist for usa today. i mean, quite incredible story of this very diverse gymnastics team. >> of course, led by one of the most well-known athletes in the world, simone biles. she settab a pretty historic run this year and has even submitted a whole new move to add to her uneven bars routines. so what can you tell us about her competitions today? >> kim, it's great to see some on finally for starting, there's been so much build-up, right? i mean, people have been talking about here for months. i would see friends are just chatting with people or someone runs into you on the street, wants to talk about the olympics, you know, it's simone biles first and foremost. and so finally here she is and she represents so much as the quiz peace was talking about the incredible importance of diversity. and for young people of all colors.

and to be able to say, hey, i could do that. it's just a really wonderful message. and simone is leading the way on that she is the greatest of all time in terms of on the field of play in the arena. but also the most famous and tragically that the most known, well-known survivor of sexual abuse, the worst sexual abuse scandal in sports history, the larry nassar gymnastics horrors and yet from that terrible moment, she has had thought a voice their two speaking out for survivors, being part of a congressional hearing, talking about the mistakes and the terrible things that happened to so many dozens, hundreds of young women in gymnastics world. so every turn, kim, every step of the way. she has become such an important voice in our nation and our world. as a leader, as a role model. and of course, also has a

tremendous athlete. >> yeah, you talked there about one of the challenges she has faced throughout her life. she's called this year her comeback you're so what other challenges has she faced sort of making her way back to the olympic stage you i think for many people who don't really follow the olympics, like maybe i do, or others where it's every three years, every four years, although it's only three years since tokyo. >> and the idea of remembering what simone biles went through and the twisties and the mental health concerns and you and i talked about this back when i was in tokyo three years ago the tremendous outpouring of support for her, but also terrible comments on social media about her you know, why aren't you trying harder? why did you withdraw from the competition? jane you know, kind of the old suck it up. you can do this. and with simone biles, with her class or grace or dignity, her words, she was able to tell those people

whether she actually told them online or just by her actions and words that that to be able to talk about mental health issues and to discuss these things that is a good thing, that is normal. and you hear so many athletes now, whether there's swimmers like michael phelps or reagan smith, caitlin clark in basketball has talked about, it's okay to say you're not okay. so many athletes have found a voice and really naomi osaka at the french open a few years ago, some biles, michael phelps with his documentary, we hear it more and more and that's so helpful, especially for those young people out there who don't have a voice who are not don't have a platform who are not as well-known, but still in their homes or on the, on the court, they're having some troubles. well, they can look to simone biles and say, hey, if she can do it, i can do it too. very positive message inspiring. >> i noticed you called her the greatest of all time a few minutes ago do you think that will be true regardless of what

happens here in paris? >> oh, i do. i do. she was tremendous eight years ago in rio she's 27. >> she's still doing this. that's not young for gymnastics like katie ledecky, the goat. she got the bronze yesterday. she didn't get the gold and silver was expected. she's still the goat, right? and by the way, i think we talked about this. they're both 20 he seven, they were born within three days of each other in march of 1997, what a week that was in sports simone biles, katie ledecky, three days apart, and the fact that they're still here and we see them for simone. absolutely the that's amanda. that's done. right. she is the greatest of all time. she can add to that. and even if she doesn't win everything like we saw in tokyo where she had to withdraw and then what the bronze on the balance beam a week later, that was a victory coming back and getting that metal even though it wasn't the color of the metal, we usually think of with her, which is gold all right, listen, let's widen it out.

>> this whole us gymnasts six team has pretty high expectations on them. how do you think they measure up to the competition i think the u.s. >> women's gymnastics team campbell will win the olympic gold medal. they did not of course three years ago because of simone having to withdraw after having the problems with the twisties and i think they're going to come back strong this is a pack team, as you heard in the piece and of course, suni lee won the individual all around three years ago when simone dropped out. that shows the depth of the u.s. team. i'm not saying there's not other great gymnast around the word rural brazil and others. but i think the us, this is their time and they've been pointing for this because it has been now eight years since rio that the u.s. women have won that team all around. so they wanted and they really want to get that back all right. >> we will be watching. really appreciates christine brennan in paris. >> thanks again so much. >> thank you. ken all right. >> well paradise, california,
