night and put on a really awesome show of difficulty and skill it was awesome you were part of the magnificent seven of course, that took home gold in the 1996 olympics. olympics. i loved watching that by the way, that was so great what's your reaction to this team named this is there redemption turow and that's kind of how they're going to go down. now what we're talking about it like you said, ten years now i think it's an athlete. >> you always failing, right? you're always, you're fallen off the beam you're missing the mark that's part of the process, right? failure is part of the journey and you learn that early on. so i feel like your career is almost always about redemption and i could do this and every event you mistake and then okay? got to redeem myself when the next event. so it really just goes along with the theme of sports and honestly, the theme of life for all of us are just, you know, when we make a mistake, we're trying to get back up and keep going. and i love what this team did. and by simone,

getting the eighth metal, i mean, he's just inspiring so many young in people, but also all of us to go after our goals and to just build big goals thank you. >> shannon miller, great to talk with you. we appreciate it. thank you, and thank you for joining us. >> i'm jessica dean, cnn news central starts right now major breaking news overnight. >> the political leader of hamas killed inside iran fear that this puts the region on the brink but democrats veepstakes with a date certain it appears kamala harris expected to reveal her running mate within days with a running mate rally set for next tuesday as she gears donald trump to, in her words, say it to my face. >> also, a huge recall to tell you about boar's head is now recalling another 7 million pounds of deli meats over

listeria outbreak that has already killed two people i'm kate bolduan with john berman, sara sidner is in chicago for us this morning. this is cnn news central all right, breaking overnight on the brink, the political leader for of hamas, ismail haniah killed inside iran where he was visiting. >> we are getting new reaction this morning from both hamas and iran vowing harsh retaliation again mr. israel wound may blame the question is this morning, what form will retaliation take? what will israel do next? what does this mean for peace negotiations over gaza? haniah was a central player in these talks. let's get right to jeremy diamond in haifa in northern israel with the latest jeremy, what are you hearing this morning john, this is a tremendously significant event with potentially enormous

regional implications. >> ismail haniah was targeted in an assassination in the iranian capital over the course of the last 24 hours, we don't know exactly when this happened, but iranian state media saying that he was targeted with a quote airborne guided projectile, a hamas in a statement saying that he was targeted in an airstrike. haniah was in iran for the iranian president's inauguration. it appears that his bodyguard was also killed in this assassination is really officials, not confirming that they were behind this, but certainly not denying it either. there which is effectively the modus operandi for these types of events. it's smile. haniah has been a key figure in hamas since 2017 when he took the helm of the organization. and over the course of the last ten months of this war in gaza, he has played a central role not only as a figurehead for hamas abroad odd, but also more recently as one of the key

interlocutors with the mediators in these ongoing ceasefire and hostage negotiations. and so now there's no question that this will put on ice those negotiations which appear to have been getting some momentum behind them over the course of these last several weeks but now there's no question that at least in the short-term, those negotiations will go nowhere fast. and then of course there is the question of the broader regional implications. this was already a region that was incredibly, incredibly tense in the days leading up to this assassin the iranian leader ayatollah khamenei, saying that you killed our dear guests in your house our house. and now you have paved the way for your harsh punishments. so a region certainly on edge, we will all be watching to see whether or not this tilts into all out war. >> john, on edge might be an understatement, cannot overstate the significance of this event. jeremy diamond, thank you for being there. keep us posted. >> okay. >> with that, exactly that in mind. cnn chief international security correspondent nick

paton walsh is working his sources from london for us and he joins us now. nic, how real are the fears of this igniting into a broader, bigger conflict? >> yeah. i mean, it was pretty refik how likely that seam just after the strike in southern beirut late yesterday evening, which had many concern, you might see escalation between hezbollah and israel. now, we have this new chapter, this new step of directly targeting key hamas figure inside of iran itself. now there's no shortage of fiery rhetoric this morning, certainly. and you heard that from the iranian supreme leader, very much playing to an internal audience to whom he wants to project strength. but certainly i think also to a region that will be looking to see what iran can actually do in the days and hours ahead. remember, they may be reluctant to potentially launch a full-scale conflict between hezbollah and israel because of damage that would do to both sides, but particularly to iran's key proxy hezbollah, one of the few cards that they have effective as it is to potentially play in the region.

and at the same time to remember back in april iran fired 300 drones and missiles directly from iranian territory at israel after some of their revolutionary guard commanders were killed in israeli airstrike in syria and virtually none of those projectiles, those missiles or drones got through to israel. so they'll know that they are coming to some degree at this with weakness, vile know they have to project strength. and i think what we have to look for kate is the exact details of how this extraordinary hit against honea inside of tehran happened 2:00 in the morning. a guided projected missile were hearings or projectile sorry. whether that was some sort of hit squad on the ground or an airstrike. we simply we don't know but the details around releases and it's entirely down to them what information we hear, frankly, will end up being, how they justify their response, how grave they feel the violation of their sovereignty has indeed been but an exceptionally tense moment we're at here, but you do have to remember how limited are iran's options?

>> it's a great point nick, where's the united states and all of this yeah. >> i mean, did they know about this beforehand? potentially, that's the question people are going to ask. did israel to side to make a seismic move like this, taking out a key negotiator in talks that the u.s. has invested vast amounts of political capital, cia director bill burns flying back and forth, trying to get some headway in all of this. >> did the visit to washington of benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister leader i'm thinking that he may just go walk his own path. >> there's always said that someone like hannah would be on their hit list, but the timing of this after the strike in southern beirut, extraordinary inflammatory. and so the question really is here that the u.s. know about this, let it happen, not know about this, and wake up to be shocked and why they still talking so focused on a ceasefire now and that the short-term as jeremy was saying, is highly unlikely prospect. and what traction does the u.s. now still have over israel? it's exceptionally dangerous weeks

ahead. >> you are opposing the critical questions in the minutes, hours, and days ahead of what where this is all really going ahead and check out. it's great to see you, nick. thank you so much for jumping on for us next, going to continue working his sources on where this is all headed for us also ahead for us kamala harris is planning a swing state blitz with her vp for next week. even before actually announcing who that running mate is, new details on the narrowing field and for new deadline. plus, a suspect is on the run. this morning after fatally shooting a man who was walking to prayers at a philadelphia mosque. police are calling it an execution-style killing and they seem to have the river seine clean enough to allow the triathletes to start diving in olympic highlights are ahead that was his age i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my

you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because as the saying goes, if you got something to say brazil seat as brazil alvarez is at the white house, brazil, bring us up to speed. where are they? >> so we know as much as we can know in the vp vetting process while the vice presently and vice president is certainly in the thick of choosing her running mate because as you mentioned, the announcement is expected in the coming days. >> what that looks like behind the scenes as the vice president sifting through notebooks of information of each of the contenders having informal conversations preliminary conference stations, and also asking her advisers who would be the best governing partner if she were to win or not to victory in

november. now some of the names that are on that list are josh shapiro, mark, kelly, and tim waltz this morning we heard directly from mark kelly in an interview on msnbc. take a listen i'm not going to get into any of that. i am going to be focused on making sure that comma is the next president. i'm going to work as hard as i can. my wife, gabby giffords, she's already working really hard on that. she has been she was in pennsylvania most of last week. she was in michigan. she's he's going to be another battleground states. i'm going to be traveling across the country tirelessly next week, my plans right now to be in arizona so you heard it there as mercalli saying the next week he plans to be in arizona. >> unclear whether he will be the one who is chosen to be the vice president's running mate but the vice president also plans to be in arizona. she plans to reveal who will be her running mate on tuesday in

philadelphia before kicking off a blitz across battleground states that includes wisconsin, michigan, north carolina, georgia, arizona, nevada. importantly, all of the he's states except for north carolina, were states that president biden narrowly won in 2020. so the campaign is trying to keep all of them in play and try to notch victories in each of them for the vice presidents, would that will be her plan for next week, of course, part of the process and choosing a running mate. running mate is who is going to give her the best and the strongest electoral strength. and that is part of the conversation that is happening. that they are all working against the clock to make and also the very same time priscilla at the white house, president biden is making moves to announce a new national security memorandum on drug trafficking and fentanyl, what what's going on with this us? this is a memorandum intended to curb the flow of fentanyl. this has been a concern for the

biden administration and the white house. now, what this memorandum does essentially direct the agency's to better share information that includes it's, for example, increasing intelligence collection on traffickers. what the president will also be doing is calling on congress to take legislative action to close loopholes and also to regulate fentanyl-related substances. i schedule one drugs on the president is expected to receive a briefing on this later this afternoon. but of course, fentanyl is an issue that the administration has been trying to tackle, particularly on the u.s. mexico border, also an issue that has been used by republicans to attack this administration. so today the white house placing some focus on this by issuing this memorandum also calling on congress to act priscilla. >> thank you so much, great to see you and thank you for your reporting as always, still ahead for us. burr's had recalling over 7 million pounds

liverwurst product. this was made at a facility and jared, virginia and now the company has expanding this recall to include more than 7 million pounds of other kinds of meat products made at that same facility but these include products including ham, baloney, bacon, frankfurter's, and sausage products. these have sell by dates between july 29 and october 17. there also pausing, they're ready to eat operations at that facility. and this comes amid this outbreak of listeria yeah, which is can be very dangerous bacteria in this current outbreak, there have been 34 illnesses across 13 states including 33 hospitalizations and two deaths. so this is a bacteria that can be particularly dangerous to people who are pregnant, people over the age of 65, and those with compromised immune systems the cdc and usda say that anybody, particularly in those groups who feels sort of flu-like symptoms within two months of eating these products

should seek medical care and let their providers know that they consume these products and tell them about this. recall listeria can cause listeriosis. that's the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the u.s. so in addition to sort of gastrointestinal symptoms, if it moves beyond that, it can cause a fever, muscle aches, fatigue, sometimes a stiff neck confusion, and seizures. the recommendations for folks here is obviously check your fridge. the full list of products is available at these usda's website if you find any of these products, discard them, or return them to the retailer thoroughly clean your refrigerator and be on the lookout for any of these symptoms. they also note more broadly that people in these more vulnerable groups should not eat any deli meat unless it's been heated until it's steaming or reaches an internal temperature of 160 you five degrees. but i think maybe in this situation it's sort of a one and doubt throw it out. john, what a doubt throat. yeah, it's great advice i was going to say, check your

news overnight, the top political leader of hamas and a quote, unquote key decision-maker in hostage talks with israel has been killed in an apparent strike inside iran. >> he has been one of the most visible leaders of hamas since its terror attack on israel. and now iran is vowing to retaliate saying in a message to israel, quote, you have paved the way for your harsh punishment. israel not commenting and has not claimed responsibility for the strike. let's get over to cnn's ben wedeman. he's in beirut, lebanon. and ben this all adds up to being very critical where you are, where you are, is the site of what the an attack that israel has claimed responsibility for when it, when it took one strike, took out a top hezbollah leader there yes. >> it was thought that perhaps that was doing that was that was it that strike it was in retaliation for saturday's

missile strike on the israeli-occupied syrian golan heights that left 12 children dead it was thought that that was for israel's basic response to that attack. there was expectations of it still may come at his boss hello response to that the killing of a smile, haniah in on certainly changes the equation completely now, there is real concern we're hearing condemnation from governments across the region that this is an escalation that could lead to something very much worse. now, keep in mind on 1 april, the israelis struck a diplomatic talks and the iranian diplomatic complex in damascus killing senior islamic revolutionary guard commander. but for a ron, that was a violation of its national sovereignty now for israel to strike in the capital to hit on

the head of the hamas political bureau. isn't a sense, far worse than that? at because it's not a diplomatic mission in another country it is the capital of iran itself and the concern is that just as we saw in the aftermath of that strike on the diplomatic complex in damascus iran launched more than 300 projectiles ford israel. and it was a very orchestrated event where the iranians telegraphed well beforehand that it would be limited powders strikes, so to speak. but in this case it's in many senses at far more serious violation for the iranians of their national sovereignty. and of course, all of their allies in the region, hezbollah, the houthis, the militias in iraq and syria going to be looking at iran to respond in kind or

the respondent least in a way that sends a forceful message. the israelis and how all of those proxies and allies have you just listed out, respond in kind after they see what iran decides to do, ben. >> thank you as always, great reporting as always, john. >> right with me now, mark esper, former defense secretary under president trump, former president trump, and cnn global affairs analyst there are six, right? thank you so much for being with us. this is a significant move overnight. how do you see this affecting the situation in the middle east? >> absolutely very significant, arguably the most important attack against iran and its proxies since the april strike in damascus were a number of israeli i'm sorry, number of islamic revolutionary guard corps members were killed in damascus, syria so and it was a great embarrassment as well for the iranians. this was done the day after the new president of iran, pezeshkian was ceremony

ceremony. lilly introduced to the country and a sworn in, if you will, by the ayatollah. so big big issue. >> our friend ian bremmer called this a massive security and intelligence failure by iran and expects a significant response. do you absolutely look what's known right now is how it happened. >> we know there was an airstrike at his residence in tehran. we don't know whether it came from outside iran via israel, or whether there were people inside iran. the conducted an assault. so i imagined the irgc is trying to figure out exactly what happened, but needless to say, it's just going to be a matter of days. iran is going to have to respond to this. the fact that it was taken against it conducted in iran against a guest, a senior guest of one of iran's proxies. they're going to have to respond. and of course, we had just hours earlier fu'ad shukr in lebanon was killed by israelis as well. he was the senior military commander in hezbollah israel, if this was israel, again, they haven't commented on directly,

seems to have extraordinary capabilities inside iran. how did they do this? yeah, it's, it's incredible great military capability, intelligence assets. >> the iranians have to be wondering that as well, how did they keep getting in? how are they able to kill senior leaders, scientists? are they able to strike our targets as they did? in april without iran being able to defend against it. >> so you said you do expect a significant response. what then does it do to the stability in the region? >> it completely upsets stability right now, at least temporarily, i would say that the ceasefire talks are on hold indefinitely. that's going to inject a lot of insert uncertainty into the process. but look, i think iran is going to respond they're go-to action as often a missile or drone strikes. they can leverage their, the militia groups throughout the region. they can try and conduct their own type of terrorist assaults. it look, john is a small footnote just last night. there was an american airstrike against a shia militia group outside of baghdad, which is being overshadowed, shadowed by what happened in the early axios noted a number of setbacks in

the last 24 hours to iran and its proxies between the killing of the hezbollah leader, the u.s. strikes against the shia militias in iraq and then certainly the killing of ismail haniah hernia was seen as being a key player in the peace negotiations in gaza. what does it tell you? if israel is taking out one of the people who is involved in the peace talks. >> well, look, israel has been very clear since october 7 that they were going to go after hamas's leaders and he's arguably one of the top three him, yahya sinwar, who's the leader in gaza. and then mohammed deif, if you recall, a military commander who israel struck last week or so in may or may not may or may not be dead. but those are the big three. and as you said, with regard to the negotiations haniah was more of the moderate. he was the one arguing, pushing for a deal seen as right arguing for a deal. and i think at this point in time, hamas is going to lock down yahya sinwar is de-facto really in charge now in gaza

look, there are a lot of people who question why he nia was allowed to be in the open as he was in qatar and other places, given that he is a top leader in hamas. but if he is involved in peace in israel is killing him. does that indicate to you? that israel's not serious about pushing towards peace and gaza. >> i think they're very serious about taking irans taking out the leader, leaders of terrorist groups, whether it's hezbollah, hamas, the houthis, you name it. i think they're sending a message that you can't run. you can hide. we're going to come after you and they're going to do everything they can to take out the leaders. do you think the u.s. >> had any warning that this is going to tony blinken, the secretary state, said they did not have a warning about this, but which is interesting. so we also have to take an account to it. this is going to ripple back here with us domestic politics, right? we're going to wait and see what president biden says from the white house. we'll see what donald trump says. and importantly will see what commonly harris says, what will her position b will strike a different tone as compared to president biden. will she want to show toughness solidarity with israel? i think

this is going to be a factor back here as we were under 100 days from the election, ms secretary, thanks so much for being with. thank you it's great. >> that the secretary with us this morning, also this morning, the national association of black journalists is kicking off its annual conference. it's in chicago this year, the high profile conference has become even more high-profile as donald trump will be joining the nab jay for a panel discussion this morning. our sara sidner is in chicago right now with all of the news what is it going to be like today, sir yeah, there was controversy before this convention even started. >> what happened according to organizes as they always invite the two presumptive presidential nominees. in this case, only one of them agreed to show up in person. and it wasn't the person who could become the first black female president of america. instead, it's donald trump that has caused a great deal of consternation among some of those attending the conference

and those that are on the board of this conference, one of whom has stepped down. we're also hearing from local leaders who are concerned that only donald trump's voice is going to be the one that people hear from this particular conference however, we just got notice from nab j that they did of course, as they always do and have done since 19 and 76, reach out to the two presumptive nominees about a month ago both of them were being talked to, including vice president harris before joe biden dropped out of the race. and donald trump was the one that said he couldn't attend. according to nab j. kamala harris was unable to attend scheduling conflicts and could not do something virtual. and so they are now saying they are working out something to try and have her do some sort of virtual event where she can be asked questions by the members of nab j, but certainly stirring things up here in chicago. as you know, there are signs and things all over just

next to me, there is a big billboard that says i'm speaking and it's a quote from kamala harris calling her the first woman which she is and person of color elected to the vice presidency there will be controversy. we are going to hear from donald trump. he has already using this to try to take advantage of his rising number. in particular of black americans who who have been voting for him in a little bit larger numbers than we have seen in the past. and polling showing that they are more interested in him. but now that kamala harris is in the race, we will have to see what goes going further. however, the controversy is still being stirred here we're going to hear from donald trump with here are about 11:00. it is closed to the public, but there are protests that are planned outside of the hotel where this will happen alright. >> glad you're there, sara are going to be getting back to you throughout the morning and the day as this is going to be a really big day, donald trumping, facing questions from journalists in the room. sara, thank you. we'll get back to sara in a bit by this time next week, we will know who kamala harris is running mate will be. the pair will be going on a swing state blitz starting

tuesday. that's according to the campaign. here has got a head start in georgia yesterday with a big campaign rally and the harris campaign has made clear in a memo that was out just this week that with harris at the top of the ticket, they say they see renewed electoral hope in winning georgia, part of the strategy to pull that off is winning over disenfranchise georgia republicans republicans like the former lieutenant governor of georgia, geoff jump, geoff duncan who joins us now, it's good to see you again, lieutenant governor. thank you. you were at the rally last night. you also just wrote a piece for the ajc announcing your endorsement of kamala harris. i want to read for our viewers a bit of what you said and it's worth, it's really worth a read because you write not only about your endorsement, but how she can win. you write, i'm a lifelong republican whose current northstar is ridding trump from the gop, but endorsing harris wasn't easy through my

conservative lens i see very few policy areas where we agree, though my support for harris didn't come easily, it did come naturally. she's the best vehicle toward preventing another stained trump presidency. tell me why well, look, we've got to do better than donald trump as a lifelong conservative. i got to watch a fake republican sit in the white house for four years and then almost destroy this country. and so we've just got to do better if your common sense republican, you've already lost on trump is not the vehicle to success with conservative values. and certainly the democrats don't align with us on policies verbatim. >> so let's go take the next four years, heal and rebuild our party. >> let's pick somebody that's not going to wreck the car like donald trump is. and let's work with the harris administration. let's work to try to find ways to bring them back towards the middle on key issues. and really there has been some receptive intakes already. i mean, watching mean things like fracking watching her walk away from some of these big ideas that were launched, big liberal ideas in

2020. there's no way to ignore this momentum that's going on yesterday was unbelievable, right? it almost felt like a national championship inside that arena with the energy and i want to ask you just about that entered and what is changed and how it's shifted. >> and as you said, in ten days, 94 days, because a reporter at the rally last night quoted you as telling them about the energy in the room. it's probably felt like the first day after being traded from the yankees to the red sox there's there's a lot in there that we need to we need to dig through yeah. you play baseball of course. explain what you mean and what you saw at the rally last night well, as my first democratic rally, but i got to walk into a room full of old friends and familiar faces that i served with at the georgia capital they're good people in that room and we all don't agree on the exact definition of how to solve the world's problems. >> but if we also at the same table and this renewed energy

of this country is so thirsty for a genuine leader, right? just thirsty. and i think the hard part for me is if republicans would have done something similar other than donald trump we would have had that same type of energy that authentic miss to it, but we didn't. and so i believe if kamala harris is able to take rooms like that and not have to try to win a primary each and every night with her was just catering to the far left then i think she's gonna be able to win the hearts and minds of the 10%, which by the way, are still going to determine who wins this election. she's going to be able to do a better job talking to that 10% in the middle than donald trump's. they've already hit the ignore button on him but let me ask you about what you're talking about here talk up the liberal liberal priorities that you think that you, and you write very explicitly in your piece that you want to see her move away from. because i have heard republicans say that her momentum in georgia and beyond that, they believe that it will start melting away with voters, the ones you're talking about, the and percent start when they start digging into a record,

you mentioned fracking because the harris of 2019 and 2020 stood in a different place on issues like fracking border security, policing in america, medicare for all, then the harris that were the than the kamala harris that we hear of 2024 but how troubled are you by? this is your endorsement conditional know my my endorsement is not conditional you know, anybody but donald trump is going to do better than donald trump? >> in saving democracy and giving us a chance to hit the reset button and creating a gop 2.0 i believe we're watching this happen. i wrote about this in the piece. she's already walked back from the fracking idea that's a big deal for the swing state like pennsylvania, if she adds governor shapiro two or ticket, that's an even bigger deal to try to win pennsylvania, which probably brings michigan opens up wisconsin and in georgia, i believe is still in play. there's other issues like immigration, the biden administration was late to the game and they were late to make moves on the border, but they

finally did. and the metrics are showing that it's making a difference. she needs to continue to double down on increasing border security and talking about it, she also needs to talk with a scalpel, not a chainsaw about the economy and inflation some people wake up and this is the worst economy they've ever faced. some wake up and it's the best economy they've ever faced. she needs to be able to talk with, with very articulate tones because the biden administration or biden campaign didn't want to talk about those things. it was like a hurt tooth they just didn't want to talk about it. she's able to do that being able to talk the speak of a disenfranchise georgia republican is what you're doing right now. >> i mean, have you spoken with the campaign about being out there? on her behalf, which is a shade different than saying that you're going to vote for her to try to do what you're just saying right now i've offered my support any way, shape, and form i can offer up. >> i'm pot committed to making this work i want to see vice president harris win this race, and i wanted to see the

opportunity for republicans like me to sit at the table during those four years and be able to work on opportunities to improve those policies or at least make them a little more conservative. leaning and then also be able to go back to the gop and tried to rebuild us. we are broken geoff duncan it's always good to have you. >> thank you so much for coming in tom. >> thank you. >> his eyes, what he was talking about going to the first democratic rally of his life perspective, right overnight, the secret service made an arrest near the white house. new details about the gun and propane tank found by investigators and f around and find out us women's gymnastics team. finally shares there name their team named after taking home the gold sirens are going off the tornado here. i'm thinking, i'm going to die. >> and i thought that was it.

appellate court. a reminder there in those comments that general garland, he used to be the chief judge of the second most powerful court in the country after the supreme court. this case could go in a lot of ways, but this really is basically the most biting type of comment that you ever made hear from merrick garland in a politicized case like this. and in something that is still in the court system. >> for merrick garland, this is an 11 on a scale of one to ten. katelyn polantz. great to thank you very much. >> and for merrick garland, he's making the point, it isn't politics right? he's making, he is making pointed to was that he's following this just in boeing is now naming a new ceo, robert kelly or berg is expected to take the helm starting august 8. the company just reported a loss of 1.4 billion. in the second quarter. that's more than triple the loss from a year ago so the company, as you well know, has faced serious scrutiny and investigations over the safety and quality of its planes the company even agreeing to plead guilty to a criminal fraud
