sometimes you lose, you're going to lose this election, except the results we have here he, is concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the venezuelan people. >> the international community is watching this very closely. >> and we'll respond according access is definitely been a problem for firefighters with the steep, rugged terrain, you just can't get in there sometimes firefighters right now now, from the sky to the ground, they're taking advantage of the break. we do have in the weather live, from london. this is cnn newsroom with max foster and christina macfarlane. hello, warm welcome to our viewers joining us from the u.s. and around the world. i'm max foster and i'm christina macfarlane. it's monday, july 29, 9:00 a.m. here in london and then 4:00 a.m. in washington where the race for the white house is heating up with less than 100 days until

the presidential election has now been just over a week since us president joe biden exited the race and endorse vice president kamala harris, who moved quickly to consolidate support from the democratic party with harris and republican presidential nominee i'll trump took a break from the campaign trail on sunday and instead, let their allies stunk for them, is senator bernie sanders rallying for harris as he blasted trump there's country will not do well, will not survive if we elect a precedent like trump, who has spent years undermining the very foundations of american democracy. and who just recently told us that he will not accept the election results in november unless he thinks that they all fail well, mr. trump, in america, we play by the rules sometimes you

lose, you're going to lose this election, accept the results meanwhile, republican senator lindsey graham was defending the trump-vance ticket when he asked when asked if the former president regrets picking j.d. vance to be his running mate not at all because j.d vance has one of the most compelling stories in american politics. when you look at his background, what do you overcome early in life to be who he is? he went to iraq, he didn't have to lend to yale law school. he became a marine. that's no small dale, i don't have children, but i'm going to vote for jd and trump because i think will be safer and more prosperous and more secure. i want to end the biden-harris debacle. now, you should never say anything to hurt anybody's feelings. but when you look at all these interviews by jd was talking about how the democratic party has abandoned the traditional family. >> will donald trump and his allies have had to pivot to focus their attacks on kamala harris as she looks to top the democratic ticket.

>> soon as julia benbrook has more on how the harris campaign is managing those attacks the harris campaign has announced that they've brought in 200 million in donations in just the last week of that amount, they say that 66 percent has come from new donors they're also highlighting organizing efforts, saying that they have a 170,000 new volunteers all of this this taking place as former president donald trump is trying out new lines of attack against his new opponent. >> in recent days, he has called harris evil made fun of her her laugh and even gone as far as to save the american dream is dead. if harris wins, now the vice president is responding. she has called some of trump's comments while i old lies, and then gone on to say that some of the statements coming from the top of the gop ticket are quote, just plain weird to some wild lies about my record and some of what he

and his running mate or say, well, it's just plain weird the box you put that in the voting process to officially named harris the democratic party's nominee is expected to begin next week voting is conducted by electronic ballots sent to come convention delegates. now party officials have said that they hope to nominate the presidential and vice presidential candidates by august 7. another date that's quickly approaching as august 19. that's the start of the democratic national convention in chicago. we expect for there to be some changes with a new name at the top of the it get and have them leaning more to the vice president's personality and political achievements julia benbrook, cnn, the white house well great kamala harris has effectively erase former president donald trump's lead in the polls. cnn's harry enten breaks down the numbers for us now once you

look where we were a week ago, look at this. both harris and trump, not particularly well liked, certainly better liked than former president joe biden. but look at this a -11 net point favorability rating a -11 point net favorability rating. but look at where we stand right now since kamala harris became the presumptive democratic nominee, her net favorability is now actually in the positive territory at plus one point and look at donald trump his net favorability has actually dropped from -11.2 -16 points. so the last it's week has been one in which kamala harris has received a load of good press while donald trump coming off of his republican national convention. perhaps not some necessarily good news for his vice presidential choice, j.d vance. and what we've seen is clear movement on this particular metric towards kamala harris. i think the question ultimately will be, as we get more of that horse race polling does it translate to the ballot test? but certainly, i think democrats would argue that this is one of kamala harris is best paul's so far showing her much more popular than we could go while trump has fallen back a

little bit. so let's take a look at those great lake battleground states because i think that this will give you an idea of how tight the race is in the great lake battleground states look at wisconsin, a point race. well within the margin of error, no clear leader michigan tied pennsylvania tied. and of course these were states that post that first debate. in fact, the only debate between donald trump and joe biden, we saw that trump was picking up ground in these states in holding advantage over joe biden, not the case against kamala harris why is that so important while it so important because if if kamala harris can win up in these great lake battleground states wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, even if she were to lose in nevada, arizona, and georgia, of course, those sunbelt battleground states that joe biden won four years ago. look at that she would get to exactly 270 electoral votes. she would win the election. so the fact that she's holding her own there definitely suggest that the great lake battleground states are potential pathway for her to

allow democrats to hold onto the white house now, we all continuing to monitor the situation in venezuela where authoritarian president nicolas maduro has been declared the winner of sunday's election. >> that's according to the country's national electoral council. maduro suggested there would be bloodshed if he lost, but shifted his rhetoric after being declared the winner. >> lovely i said it, there was peace before, and there was during, and we have it and there will be peace, stability, and justice after 28 july, starting from today his justice, respect of the law and justice well, maduro's main challenger was opposition candidate edmundo gonzalez urrutia, a former diplomat who the coalition rallied behind after their to preferred candidates were barred from running speaking, in tokyo moments after the result was announced, us secretary of state antony blinken called on

the electoral authorities to ensure transparency and accountability we've seen the announcement just a short while ago by the venezuelan electoral commission we have serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes are doing as well in people it's critical that every vote be counted fairly and transparently that election officials immediately share information with the opposition and independent observers without delay and that the electoral authorities published the detailed tabulation of votes the international community is watching this very closely and we'll respond accordingly well, we go now to journalist steffano pozzebon in the capital caracas with reaction from the opposition and regional leaders venezuela is living through hours of tension these monday morning as the electoral authorities, which are heavily controlled by the government, have declared

longtime strongman nicolas maduro as the winner of the presidential election, celebrated on 28th of july, the announcement came around midnight on monday morning, six hours after the polling closed. >> and after extends, waiter, when the opposition was claiming that they were ahead it's eynat voting count. and this is why there has been a lot of doubts cast, a lot of doubts over these results. this is how the venezuelan opposition reacted. >> they might eat, let all we want to tell all venezuelans and to the entire world that venezuela has a new president-elect. and that is edmundo gonzalez, 81 and everyone knows it everyone knows it. i want you to know that this was something so overwhelming and so bag that we want in every sector of the country on his part of the dura was quickly to claim a victory.

>> he took the stage in a presidential palaces saying that the election korda, in a climb in climax of a piece and tranquility that he's the true leader of venezuela. however, many countries in latin america have already announced that they have doubt these results, that all of these countries include chile, peru, costa rica, and others, united states, our urging caution and inviting the electoral authorities to proceed with the publication of all the numbers and the data they have. in the next few hours the situation will continue to evolve hearing crackers lebanon warning israel of a regional war if it goes too far and its response to a deadly attack in the israeli occupied golan heights, israel vowed, hezbollah will pay the price after blaming the lebanese militant group for a rocket attack which killed 12 children, and injured more than

40 people on saturday. cnn's ben wedeman, who has extensive experience covering the region, has more now from beirut lebanon is bracing for an israeli response to the attack that killed at least 12 children in the druze town of measured l champ's in the israeli occupied syrian golan heights saturday evening as a senior hezbollah media official told cnn that the group in what he called a state of mobilization, and that they had already evacuated some of their posts. >> now various airlines have either delayed or canceled flights to beirut in fear of an imminent israeli attack. and the u.s. embassy in lebanon has re-issued a strongly worded advisory urging americans to reconsider travel plans to lebanon. now sunday, we had the opportunity to speak lebanon's

caretaker foreign minister abdallah bou habib, who warned that if israel attacks lebanon, it could risk hey regional war. >> and look because of conviction but because of any attack on our country, we support as well as but it's not going to be a hezbollah nor as i mentioned iran foreign minister since yesterday, it will be hezbollah alone and you have the houses and iraqi militias, you have militias in syria or not serious. but externally, i've gotten religious. >> but in the meantime nonetheless, it does appear that many lebanese are going on with their lives just below me, there is a loud dance party going on and when i was at the airport, when i arrived in beirut today there were very long lines of people coming to the country, many of them with american passports i'm ben

wedeman, cnn, reporting from beirut and later this hour, we'll discuss the border implications of the israel hezbollah tensions with aylon pinkas, a former israeli consul general in new york now a raging wildfire in northern california has now burned an area larger than new york city. >> calfire reports the park fire has scorched more than 360,000 acres. firefighters have contained 12% of the blaze thanks to favorable weather over the weekend. but on sunday spot, fires were reported. more than 100 structures have been destroyed by the blaze california police have arrested one man suspected of starting the fire soon as camila bernal has more on the efforts to control the massive blaze in northern california thousands and thousands of acres look a lot like what you see here behind me. so much destruction caused by this fire. and what fire officials are telling me is that the center of the fire is still very active. it's still in very keep terrain

where it is difficult to access, but there are two things that have helped this weekend. one, lower temperatures and the second is resources when it comes to lower temperatures it is still hot, but the lower temperatures also caused higher humidity and that has been very helpful. and then the other thing is boots on the ground. we now know that about 4,000 firefighters are here battling this fire and it's been giving them the opportunity to make assessments to go to areas like where i am now. and thankfully, they say now that the number of structures destroyed has gone down to 66 after these assessments the other thing that they say they were able to do is a direct and aggressive attack on the flames. and that's what has brought the percentage of containment up over the last couple of days. it is the first time hi, that we're hearing some optimism from firefighters who now say they are making progress there, saying that the priority is to get people back into their

homes. they say they're very sensitive specifically to people of this county because they already went through the deadliest fire in california history back in 2018. so they know what it's like for these people who are struggling and who are remembering what they went through in 2018 anecdotally, i can say that people are taking evacuation orders and warnings more seriously because of what they lived through. so the bottom line is that firefighters are working around the clock doing everything they can. they're optimistic about this progress but there's still a lot of work to be done here as thousands and thousands of acres in this area continued to burn camila bernal, cnn, butte county, california we'll cnn meteorologist allison chinchar has more on the park fire along with a look at flooding expected across parts of the u.s. this week yet more than 90 active wildfires still ongoing in the western half of the u.s and the one that all of those eyes are on is certainly the

park fire in california main reason for this is just how much it has burned in a very short period of time, still over 350,000 acres, just since late wednesday, when you do the math that roughly equates to about 50 football fields on average, every single minute. >> so that really goes to show you how quickly it spread. but it's not just the flames, it's also the smoke. you have a lot of states under air quality alerts just because of how thick that smoke is unlikely to cause some problems, especially for folks that already maybe have respiratory conditions or illnesses. now one other thing to note, we got a brief are reprieve over the weekend in terms of temperatures that helped firefighters out a little bit able to bring those containment numbers up by a little bit, but it will be short-lived. notice sacramento hear those temperatures get right back up into the mid to upper 90s and even triple digits by the time we get to the end of the week. now in the eastern half of the country, the bigger concern here is actually flooding and this threat stretches from minnesota so to all the way down through florida, as we had at least

through the early morning hours of monday. now, once we get into the back half of the day, monday and especially into the evening. the focus really becomes areas of the southeast and ohio valley. so places like cincinnati, knoxville, charlotte, even down through atlanta and even towards orlando and tampa the thing here is that it's been so much rain over the last two weeks. now we're adding more rain on top of it. most of these areas likely only to pick up about an extra one to three inches, but it's on top of 40, eight inches. that many of these areas have seen in just the last two weeks we do have some good news. they don't tell the destruction in northern california that is a rescue crews pulling a daring operation to save a rottweiler and her for puppies stranded in the park, fire the owner of the dogs had to leave them behind after the vehicle they were traveling in broke down. but once the butte county sheriff's office learned its location, they landed as close as they could to save the puppy. >> oh, thank goodness for that.

hezbollah targets deep inside lebanese territory. and along the border overnight on sunday, lebanon is warning israel of a regional war. if it goes too far. >> or meantime, us secretary they've state antony blinken says, washington does not want to see an escalation in the region or seam at cnn salma abdelaziz is joining us now to discuss at summer, hezbollah have obviously claimed that this is not their responsibility, although it is believed that this might have been or probably was a miscalculation on their part and now there are fears for an all-out war. what kind of reaction retaliation can we expect at this stage? >> i think if you're any of these families living on these border areas, you are absolutely waiting for bated breath because israel has said that hezbollah will pay the price for this attack regardless of whether or not they've claimed responsibility that means the area of southern lebanon, in fact, hezbollah itself says it is in a state of mobilization in its pulling back from its own military

posts. you also have all these warnings that are pouring in from the region. iran saying to israel, don't, don't play any adventures in lebanon. you have the lebanese government saying, look, this is going to instigate kate. this could spur all the militias that iran backs from syria to iraq to get involved. and we have seen some retaliation saturday night, of course, those strikes that israel says were deep within lebanon. but is that all we're going to see or we'll we see more? >> i want to draw our attention back to that community, the small druze community. >> that is right now mourning the loss of 12 children killed in a soccer field over the weekend horrifying attack, but it is not just about this attack hezbollah and israel have been trading fire for years, but more so since october 7, netanyahu has promised israelis a territory that is safe from incoming rocket fire. that means at some point, he has to find a way to either degrade or destroy hezbollah's capabilities. when does he do that? how is this

the opportunity? and that's the fear is that this becomes a political moment. that is bigger than the 12 children that were killed. that drags this region into this conflict okay. salma. thank you so much, johnny us now from tel aviv is alon pinkas, former israeli consul general in new york. thank you so much for joining us. i'm just looking at the cnn headline here and they describing it as the war that nobody wants it's obviously, there is this talk of a wider regional war just explain what that would look like and how likely you think it is you know what max almost all wars begin with. >> everyone saying no one wants this war like all elections begin when everyone says, no one has an interest in the election and every escalation unravels when everyone says well, all sides have a vested interest in not escalating. well, these things happen, which is why i expect this to escalate. the question is

escalate by how much? meaning in terms of scope geographical scope of firepower used or ammunition, and duration now, you would think that here's where this vicious circle comes into play. >> you would think that israel has to respond by responding, it's sort of escalates, but not too much. >> but then hezbollah has to respond to israel's response. that's an escalation too go before you know, it, we're in a spiral of escalation. and i think this is going to happen in the end sorry, in the next few days we had the secretary of state blinken say that the best way to avoid war was obviously to seek a ceasefire in gaza. >> and we know that talks have been hope it happening in rome on a potential ceasefire. but do you think that is a short-term measure and obviously at this stage, that is not looking likely anytime i'm soon. >> well, know, no. >> i got to tell you the

americans from the outset described the link, the relation between what's going on in gaza and what's going on on the israeli lebanese border with hezbollah as connecting vessels, meaning that if you reach a ceasefire all right. and gaza, it will deescalate or ameliorate the tensions in the exchanges of fires in the north israel until now refused will be gloating now, refuse to accept that logic in that equation, meaning that israel was in no hurry to do anything in terms of a ceasefire. now, i do not see these rhone talks leading to a ceasefire. mr. netanyahu was not interested in a ceasefire because that's a 42 day ceasefire according to face, one of the plan that everyone knows about a partial exchange of hostages for palestinian terrorists and realignments not to say, we withdrawal of israeli forces inside gaza he is patently not

interested in that and, and by virtue of escalation in the north, that will further diminish the chances of a ceasefire that's exactly what they can gaza, that's exactly what the connecting vessels or oil about. so i don't i'm sorry, i'm not too optimistic about that. but i just don't see this being resolved in the next few days. >> that's become a regional war doesn't it? when iran officially gets involved and starts striking, while you've got the war effectively between israel and iran. i mean, just reassure people about where we are with that okay. >> so here's the thing. first of all, in april, it almost happened on the 13th and 14th of april, just three months ago 3.5 months ago israel and iran exchanged missile salvos after israel assassinated several hezbollah officials in the

iranian embassy annex in damascus, syria. and everyone was talking rightly so about the possibility of an expansion or escalation a geographical escalation. and it did happen, but it was what may happen now, is that you have a war in gaza that's going on even though it's the intensity has decreased, but you still have a war in gaza. you're going to have a mini war or some kind of serious exchanges of fire with hezbollah. but then if iran gets involved and the home let's seize in yemen, get involved by firing at maritime traffic from the red seats. towards the suez canal as they have done before. then you're right, then we're talking about a regional war which brings us back to our original point in our conversation here. and that is the question is how massive the israeli will you retaliate? and it's going to be and then what hezbollah is
