phillip weeknights at ten eastern on cnn here in the cnn newsroom. >> i'm jessica dean dean in new york and i wolf blitzer here in tel aviv tonight. >> new uncertainty around the upcoming ceasefire and hostage talks between israel and hamas scheduled for this coming thursday. hamas officials that are casting doubt on whether they will even attend all this comes with tensions running very, very high here in the middle east as israel is now bracing for a retaliatory attack in the coming days, potentially from a ron. we've got our report there's across the middle east and we'll have updates throughout this hour in the meantime, jessica, back to you. >> well, for fees soon. thank you so much. >> back here in the u.s. vice president kamala harris, just wrapping up a fundraiser in san francisco where she talked to donors and reminded them what's at stake in this election, telling them the campaign's momentum cannot be taken for granted. the campaign

saying the event brought in more than 12 million also tonight, we're hearing new details from president biden about his decision to suspend his reelection campaign in his first sit down interview since dropping out of the race, exactly three weeks ago today, biden opened up about the pressure he was feeling in those final few days. >> what happened was a number of my democratic colleagues in the house and senate start to libraries can hurt him in the races and i was concerned if i stayed in the race that would be the topic. you'd been a very me about. why did nancy pelosi say why did shown and i felt it'd be a real distraction? >> cnn senior white house reporter kevin liptack, joining us now and kevin, the president also talking about his age. and once again, just dismiss concerns about his ability to finish out his term in office. what else did he say? >> yeah, he's really saying that that poor debate performance didn't reveal

anything larger about his mental state about his health condition, saying that he had a really, really bad day in that debate because he was six. so trying to tamp down on those concerns, but it really was fascinating to listen to president biden in his own words, sort of spell out exactly why he decided to drop his bid for president. we really hadn't heard him in this fulsome way. talk about that yet. and certainly it was a painful decision for him to make. what he says in this interview is that he was concerned about democrats further down the ballot, those running for senate, running for house. he isn't necessarily revealing any second thoughts about pulling out of the race, but certainly he is putting some more details about but what went into that decision-making. we also heard him explain a little bit about why he decided to run for reelection again in the first place, talking about president trump in the imperative to prevent him from receiving a second term. he talks about white supremacists who support

trump. he recalled the charlottesville rally in 2017, and he also raised concerns about this transfer of power if trump were to lose the election, listen to what he said. there are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in january 2025, if trump wins. no, i'm not confident at all. you can't love your country only when you win. mark my words. if he wins this nomination. i mean, excuse me, this selection. watch what happens it's a deja he's a genuine danger to americans now, in the interview, president biden also addressed this pledge that he made back in 2020 to act as a bridge to a new generation, to act as a transition candidate. >> in his words, he said things got moving so quickly. it didn't happen and kevin, he also talked about potentially are about hitting the campaign trail with vice president

kamala harris. what else did he say about that? >> yeah. and this will be interesting to see just how much president biden is actually on the campaign trail in the months ahead, he said in the interview that he was planning a tour of pennsylvania. that's his home state. he said he had been coordinated needing it with the governor there, josh shapiro. he said he was going to do whatever camila thinks i can do to help the most. now, we will see the both of them, president biden and vice president harris. this week on thursday in maryland, there'll be holding an event on the economy talking about their efforts to bring down prices for americans. this will be the first time that we see them together since president biden withdrew from the race. and it will be something of a significant moment as he passes the torch to his vice president absolutely. >> kevin liptack. thank you so much for that reporting. joining me now is pollster and communications strategist frank luntz frank, always great to have you on and talk through some of this stuff. i first want to get your thoughts on this new polling we got from the new york times and siena college over the weekend it's

those critical battleground states, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin and we saw some movement for harris to be clear, it's still too close to call, still within the margin of error. there but is it fair to say frank, in your opinion that this enthusiasm that we've seen anecdotally and in the crowds donations is translating into actual support is more than fair. >> it's accurate that the change over the last 17 days has been significant. >> it's meaningful and measurable. and it's being led by younger women who had opted out of this campaign. and now see someone who they can relate to in someone who they want to vote for, its being led by those white call paycheck to paycheck voters. people who literally have challenges at the end of the week are end of the month, making ends meet we don't call them working class. they resent that these paycheck to paycheck voters really do

want to make a difference and they really do see in her campaign someone they can relate to. and third, and probably equally important donald trump is not had to good weeks since, since biden pulled out he's been off message. he's been very negative and very hostile and clearly he's he's the kind of losses balance. he absolutely emerged from the convention, where with a clear and convincing lead but what has happened, he stopped talking about immigration. he stopped talking about inflation. and instead he has been so personal with his attacks that voters destroying to recoil. and it's not been a good, it's been really an awful two weeks frame. >> it doesn't sound like based on what you're hearing that that personal attack and getting away from any of the issues it is helping him exactly and we see it because we're doing focus groups now, trying to measure those who are coming over to harris, who did not support by and make no mistake.

>> they are issue voters and nothing matters more to them than either inflation, which i call affordability, because they simply can't get the food and the housing and health care and the fuel and all the things they want to live. and it's also immigration, which is a broader issue to them because that's a sense of safety and security. trump has the advantage and this is why i do not understand as a pollster in some has been doing this for 35 years trump has the advantage on these issues by 1015, even, even 20 points and yet he's not talking about them. she's on message. he is not. >> yeah. i want to listen to one of your focus groups. we have a clip. this is a republican voter who's considering vice president here. so let's listen to that for me it's more of an issue with donald trump. and the options that are now available. i would not have voted for joe biden. i'm a republican, but i'm not a donald trump

supporter. and i did not like joe biden with him gone by. >> paris is a better option than donald trump. >> in my opinion, why is there i as much as i disagree with some of her policies. i think that the country is headed in the right direction and under, under donald trump, it would not be headed in the correct direction it's really interesting. >> i don't know enough about that voter. maybe he was what we would consider that or a double-hater frank, the people that didn't like trump and didn't like biden but we have seen movement in harris's direction and those types of people. but his particular sentiment that he was just talking about, did you hear that often? >> yes. let me clarify this. if this is an issue, based campaign, trump still has the advantage, not only in the not calling him out, she is winning right now. she is absolutely

ahead. >> but we have ups and downs. this league will go back and forth. but remember, this is happening before the convention she's going to get a bounce from that convention as he's getting pre-convention balance. if it's about issues trump is much more likely to be successful if it's about attributes. harris has much more likely to be successful because quite frankly, people like her more than they like him. >> it's something that if he's watching this right now, his head is exploding and that's part of the problem. it's he has lost touch with the people that he needs and she is imperfect touch. >> look at the rounds, look at how she relates to them the challenge is, what happens when she has a press conference, what happens when she faces people like you asking questions like yours, that significant she hasn't had to do it and eventually, she'll be forced to do so. >> but as it's happening right now her attributes versus trumps issues, she's got the lead. yeah, and it is kind of

remarkable because you do see her making making a lot of ground and for all the reasons you're laying out there trump could also very well, as you just said, when this race to, for all the reasons you laid out, that when it comes to issues, he continued to we'd end yet he continues to choose to focus on the personal attacks which don't work according to you. >> we have never had a situation where the country was more believing, more you personally believing that we're off on the wrong track? believing that is harder to make ends meet today than it was three-and-a-half years ago, believing that were worse off today than we were four years ago, donald trump should be winning based on those beliefs. and they are widely held. and the spread is significant. and yet he's not and the reason why in the end is donald trump the persona and it's fascinating as a pollster because this is going to determine who wins on election

day and that's why messages and advertising and shows like this and press conferences and all matters. for weeks ago, joe biden was the democratic nominee today, life has completely different. and who knows how it will be two weeks from now? >> that is absolutely true. we are going to all watch as it unfolds. and then the voters are going to decide in the fall, frank luntz. thank you so much thank you more news. straight ahead. but for now, let's go back to tel aviv and my colleague wolf blitzer. wolf jessica, thank you very much. just ahead, the middle east continues to brace for an attack on israel by iran as hamas cast doubt on whether it will participate in this sweets crucial ceasefire and hostage talks are analysts and reporters will help us better understand the very, very dangerous and delicate politics of play, right? and the lives clearly that are at stake plus ukraine continues to push its military forces deeper and deeper into russian territory.

iran is preparing to launch a large-scale attack against israel, citing a source familiar here with the call, cnn's diplomatic editor, nic robertson is joining me here in tel aviv right now. so what could this mean? i mean, obviously iran launches a full scale attack against israel. that's the beginning of a new war as the worst-case scenario. this is what all the diplomacy over the past week has been about to avoid. it had seemed until this point that iran was contemplating a lesser strike something calculated within the rules of international law not to hit civilians. to strike at military targets the same way they did, did an israel in april, that wouldn't trigger israel into a region hello response to that. but if there's buildup is as brak ravid is hearing from his sources, then that calls into question and perhaps his why the intelligence assessment that israel is having at the moment that there could be a strike by iran or hezbollah, or a combination of both before these all important talks later

this week about the gaza ceasefire et cetera. this puts all that in doubt and in an into question and barak ravid, who is also a cnn analyst, is also reporting that all of this could happen within the next few days. and that analysis seems to be based on the fact that hamas is now quibbling over the talks that it would, that it was going to get it into on thursday this week, the 15th, which was supposed to be a de-escalatory set of talks for everyone, for hezbollah in the north who are threatening to strike because one of their military commanders was killed a week-and-a-half ago for iran to stay back from the brink because of the hamas leader that was killed in tehran. but week-and-a-half ago all of these things pivot on the talks happening on thursday. but if they're not going to happen because hamas is saying, no, this deal that seems to be coming up is not the one that we want, has been embellished

by prime minister netanyahu it it's testing the diplomacy, but i would caution and just say this other diplomats, i'm talking to in the region are saying there is still time for diplomacy we are four days out from thursday that there's a lot of talking that can be done in that time. we have to understand that what we're hearing from all our different sources represents potentially positioning saying that iran is ready for a big strike is is potentially positioning on their part. hamas saying we're not going to go to the talks. this potential potentially positioning on their side, there is still time he talks to unwind some of this. the tensions are still going to be really, really high a mistake is really possible still, which is a really, really high right now where we are here in tel aviv, we'll see what happens in these next few days. nic. thank you very, very much. also tonight, ukrainian forces have pushed nearly 20 miles into

russian territory that according to a new report from the russian defense ministry, russia says its troops engaged ukrainian forces in the kursk region videos shared online appear to show ukrainian troops capturing several areas taking down russian flags there, and putting up their ukrainian flags cnn's clare sebastian has more on what is now the largest incursion by ukraine into russia since the start of the war russia is clearly racing to try to stem the ukrainian advance into its territory. now, almost a week since it begun, the ministry of defense putting out this video purportedly of a strike on a ukrainian military convoys on five armored vehicles on sunday, which cnn has geo-located this to about 14 kilometers from the border near where the ministry of defense claimed to have thwarted ukrainian advances last week. now it's unclear at this point whether russian efforts have slowed. they advanced, but the question for ukraine as russia,

a mass, its forces and evacuated tens of thousands of civilians, is how long they can hold on. and if holding on, even occupying pockets of russian territory as part of the plan, videos like these have started to surface online. ukrainian troops replacing russian flags with ukrainian ones. now after days of silence, only dropping hints about the operation president zelenskyy addressed it directly for the first time on saturday. >> today, i received several reports from commander-in chief sierski regarding the frontlines. and our actions to push the war on to the aggressor's territory i'm grateful to every unit of defense forces ensuring that ukraine is proving that it can indeed restore justice and ensure the necessary pressure on the aggressor well, that pressure not enough to prevent another bleak chapter in an increasingly deadly summer for ukrainian civilians, ukraine's air force sunday, saying that russia fired for north korean ballistic missiles, part of a

800 a31, 3,700 in 2024 campaign trail, beginning to heat up with former president donald trump rallying in north carolina wednesday his running mate, j.d. >> vance, headed to battleground state, michigan this week. and in a brand new interview with cnn's dana bash, vance is speaking out about a wide range of topics, including one of the most hot-button issues of this year's election. shin, reproductive rights my question for you is whether or not a trump-vance administration would allow mifepristone want to continue to be sent around the country? well, president trump won the nomination. the republican party, he said it to you. one said it repeatedly that his goal is not to block mifepristone it's to let states make the decision on abortion policy. now, of course that does mean dana, we have to be honest about this, that california's might have less restrictive rules in ohio, which might have less restrictive rules in alabama i think what president trump has really tried to do on the abortion question is really admirable and i wish the, the

press was a little bit more honest about what he's saying. we've had a 50 year cultural war over abortion where unfortunately this issue is just divided the country and he wants to provide some ground for us to come together for states to make these decisions for voters to make these decisions and for us all to respect one another. that's all he's got that issue on that issue. >> a few months ago on the question, his position. you've adopted as it is up to the states i spoke to a woman named kate cox. she lives in texas sure. she was 20 weeks pregnant. her fetus was diagnosed with a disease called it was the deadly genetic condition called trisomy 18 she said that carrying the pregnancy, she was told this by her doctors to term if the fetus even revived would hurt her chances for having more children, which she in her husband desperately wanted. >> why is not allowing her to end that pregnancy helpful or supportive of expanding

families like you want it to be? well, first of all, dana, my heartbreaks for this woman, i don't know her personally. i've certainly heard the story and our heart breaks for and we want people to have healthy, happy families. and it's extremely unfortunate that sometimes medicine, the activity god, whatever happens, just doesn't work out. what the president has said. i think very clearly is that he is not trying to prevent women who have non-viable pregnancies from getting access to the medical aid, allowing allowing the states to decide a place like texas, which has very strict laws. now doesn't can allow a kate cox to end a pregnancy that is fatal and could potentially hurt her ability to have more kids. >> but what president trump has said is that we are going the let voters make these decisions. and again, texas might have a view that president trump disagrees with. they might have a view that president trump agrees with, but you've got to let the voters make these decisions. >> and so you're comfortable with that line, texas. >> i'm not comfortable with anything dana because i'm not passing judgment on what these

law should be. you asked me my own personal view. i campaigned against in ohio referendum, but i think that we have to let voters decide and when they speak their mind, you have to be respectful, agree, or disagree three with whatever voters decide they're going to make these decisions vance also trying to turn the tables on his vice presidential opponent, governor tim walz. >> after walz called the republican ticket weird i want to move on to something that governor walz has called you and donald trump, and that is weird. sure. and it is taken off the new york times reports then went donald trump was asked about it. he said, not me, they're talking about jd well, certainly they've levied that charge against me more than anything. >> anybody else, but i think that it drives home how they're trying to distract from their own policy failures. i mean, look, this is fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff. they can accuse me of whatever they want look, he's me of as harry s. truman once said, if you

can't take the heat is stay out of the kitchen and i'm doing this because i think that me being vice president will help improve people's lives. so i i accept their attacks, but i think that it is a little bit of projection. dana, if you think about just just take a couple of days ago, tim walz gives this big speech he's been announced as the vp nominee. and i remember when i had just been announced as a vp nominee, i gave my big speech and i saw my wife and i gave her a big hug and a kiss because i loved my wife and i think that's what a normal normal person does. tim walz gave his wife a nice firm midwestern handshake and then tried to sort of awkwardly correct for it. so i think that what it is is two people, kamala harris and tim walz what's who aren't comfortable in their own skin because there aren't uncomfortable with their policy positions for the american people. and so they're name-calling instead of actually telling the american people how they're going to make their lives better. i think that's weird, dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to. >> you're saying tim walz doesn't have affection for his wife? i don't even understand that. >> i said that he acted weird, which he did on a national stage age in front of his wife and in front of millions of

americans who presumably we're watching at home. and i think that it's projection dana again, that that report with dana bash. >> thank you, dana, for that interview is still ahead in the cnn newsroom this week's high-stakes ceasefire talks and what hamas says could keep the terror group from attending jensen in israel tonight on the whole story, donie o'sullivan dives back into the world of misinformation. no computers that are used sooner election have a software that was illegal will miss information cause chaos in november's election. the whole story with anderson cooper tonight at 8:00 on cnn the smooth writing, longest lasting pilot g2 has long we've been the hero gelling. >> and what erode doesn't have a dark side introducing the jeju edge, the same number one selling gelling pen in america now with an innovative laser edge design, cushion comfort, grip, and durable tungsten carbide tip whatever your

middle east, cnn analyst and axios reporter barak ravid is now reporting that iran has indeed decided to directly attack israel. and though it's not clear when that might happen or what form it would take the attack could come any reports as soon as in the next few days with us now, cnn military analyst, retired lieutenant general mark hertling and former state department middle east negotiator, aaron david miller general, starting with you. what do you expect from iran as compared to the drone and multi missiles? what tack some 300 rockets and missiles that were directed towards israel back in april from iran, directly from iranian territory, do expect something similar or something different? >> well, you can't really say it could be a spectrum along that line, anything from a massive attack, not only from iran, but also in coordination with hezbollah and with other forces in the area of the pmf

forces in syria and iraq, as well as the houthis in yemen or could we see just a kinetic strike that's precision and surgical in nature to show israel and for iran to show their own population that they are doing something about what struck into iran so it could be anywhere between those two extremes but i think they have to do something just to appease it's their own population, but also to show israel that they are ready to confront them. but anything that they do could certainly expand this region into a catastrophic conflict. >> and that's certainly what israeli military officials are bracing for right now, as i can tell you, based on briefings that i've had over the past few days, erin, there has been some confusion today's, you know, over how hamas is treating thursday's scheduled ceasefire hostage release talks what's your read on the statement they put out earlier

today you know, the worst thing in negotiation wolf is to what tell you, negotiating partners that you're in a hurry. >> and i suspect part of hamas's calculation is they know that biden's clock netanyahu's clock, and their own clock or not really in sync. the administration wants this done yesterday and they're evidencing all sorts of signs which are completely understandable given how fraught the situation is for the hostages and the prospects of an escalation on the northern front. they know if they could get a ceasefire would also come down the north the problem is that the biden clock is not sink. it seems to me either with the math and yellow, black, or the sinwar clock yahya sinwar in scranton, some tunnel somewhere. is making decisions based on what he considers to be hamas's needs and requirements. and those require a cessation or a

truce to station a military activity by the israelis and benjamin netanyahu for his own understandable reasons, are not prepared to agree. so i think on this one, will that hamas ultimately will show, we'll show for thursday's meeting if the whole thing is not undermined by a major hezbollah or iranian strike sometime in the next 72 hours which is certainly possible general hertling. is there a scenario you can foresee where iran launches its retaliatory attack against israel in the coming days. and the region still manages to avert a much wider regional war what needs to happen for that to be how this goes yeah, certainly was there is that potential and it would be dependent on iran holding their fire literally, not conducting the kind of large scale attack they held last time where a lot of israeli citizens could be hurt or killed that happens, what i'd

say is katy bar the door. >> if israel is struck to the point where there are multiple casualties are a lot of deaths. i think we're going to see that conflict spin out of control that's the part where i'm very concerned because it has to do with not only what iranians iran's action will be, but as a aaron david just said, also, what hezbollah and hamas will do to contribute to this. but it could certainly rise into a regional conflict or beyond in my view. and i don't think iran is ready for that or has the military or the diplomatic capability to do something of that scale? so they should be very careful in what they do next i think you make a very important point general, because based on the briefings, i've been having here, if iran were to do a direct assault on israel and wind up killing a lot of israeli civilians, especially just destroying a lot of buildings in tel aviv where i am right now attacking military

bases. >> ben gurion airport, the international airport outside of tel aviv, israel would respond with enormous, enormous military force against iran, something the israelis believed the iranians would deliberately desperately try to avoid, but they don't be able to do so. so we'll see if this explodes into that type of regional war era in this forthcoming attack from iran, as there's now expected against israel, is in response to the killing of a top hamas leader who was into heran obviously there's more to come here. but how is that already impacted the region altogether? the other you know i think it has in several ways, yahya sinwar wolf is now has now been elevated to the head of hamas, which is something frankly, we all knew from the beginning that he's the major decision maker i will say though that mark generally raises a critically important point and that is the his bullet piece of this, you know, we takes 12 minutes for a cruise missile to impact in

israel, assuming it's not intercepted once from iran, were talking a minute and a half probably less time for his ball is high-trajectory weapons and its precision guided munition to strike israel proper. >> the real damage here, frankly it's not going to come from iran. it's going to come from his ball. but i really do believe that both again, general hertling's right. i don't think his bala nor to ron is interested in the kind of strike that would trigger a massive israeli response, a response i might add wolf and iranians know this that could easily dry in the united states. the question is, will there be able to fine line between? he doing something that is significant. but not triggering a regional escalation that would create something middle east wolf has never seen before. a genuine multi-front war involving lebanon, syria iraq, yemen,

israel, and perhaps even an israeli and us military involvement against iran yeah, it's a really, really dangerous situation right now. >> general hertling before i let you go, i want to close with a quick question on ukraine right now, which is seeing some serious deterioration as well. the ukrainian government claims that russian troops set fire near this up russia nuclear plant in ukraine. what's your read on that situation? how dangerous is it unfolding right now yeah, i've been watching the ukrainian front for the last seven days and had been amazed wolf, this fire that's occurring at the zaporizhzhia power plant i believe in all intelligence, at least all open source intelligence is saying that it's the result of a tyre fire in inside or near the smokestack, are the stack of the nuclear power plant that is

to distract and it's the russian way of doing distraction. remember russia has control of that power plant. >> they have forces in the area. there are iaea members there as well, saying what's happening. they say all radiation is safe still, but they are very concerned. they've been saying that for months, but the fact russia would, would start tyre fire smoke into the area and indicate that something's going on is just another approach by mr. putin to conflict. >> what's going on in this area and cause more danger to not only ukraine, but also the entire region. >> let me follow up a general, what do you make of the ukrainian incursion into russia? we're not told some 20 miles ukrainian forces have moved inside russia it's been fascinating for me, will. first i thought this was a raid they

have conducted these kind of cross-border raids, with small forces in the past. it now appears to be more of a demonstration. i certainly wouldn't call it an offensive yet. the key is going to be can they sustain this fight when you put that many forces? then there was apparently two brigades are more of ukrainian forces have gone across the border, not just a curse, but also in belgorod you need a lot of logistics for an armored force that goes 20 kilometers. they'd been there seven days. they need water, fuel, ammunition, supplies, parts. so we'll see how long they are in there. they have taken a lot of prisoners estimates are over a couple of hundred russian prisoners that have already been taking and there are some indications of movement of russian reinforces reinforcements into the area to counter it. there's no proof of that just yet the fighting has not been intense other than beyond the border, the border guards and the forces that were in the area. so this is ukraine

saying we can do the same thing. the other thing that i'd point out, wolf is indications are that its western style vehicles, the ones that have been given to ukraine, they are conducting most of this tack and one of the things that i find most fascinating is having been striker brigade commander, it appears that strikers in the year are in the areas they move fast, they're very mobile, they're very quiet, and they're exactly fitted for this kind of operation that would be a quick strike inside of a country and then a pullback very quickly without the need for a lot of logistics it's potentially a very, very dangerous situation unfolding between ukraine and russia as well. general hertling, aaron david miller to both of you. thank you very much for your analysis. i want to get back to jessica dean right now. she's joining us from new york. >> all right. well, thank you so much. and just like that, paris thing, i want to two weeks of crazy olympic action now before he last-minute gold medals were handed out, that's next on cnn newsroom this fall

and now the bronze as a result, we'll go back to her romanian competitor, ana barbosu. the olympic games themselves wrapped up today with a stunning and sometimes strange ceremony cnn's coy wire has more from paris, including a last-minute gold for us olympians what an incredible ending to the summer olympics here in paris, the us women's basketball team going down to the wire with host nation france in the gold medal game the americans entered with an olympic winning streak had dated back to 1996, but they win by maybe the tip of a tow france hitting a buzzer beater as time expired, the crowd erupted, thinking the host nation had just shocked the world, sending its overtime. >> but gabby williams foot was on the line. it was only a tube pointer. so heartbreak for france, elation for the u.s. claiming an eighth straight olympic gold. and with that team usa dominates total medal count, but it ties china at 40 gold medals each on the very last event of these olympics, a

tie for golds has never happened in the history of the summer games. now, at the closing ceremony plenty to show respect to all the athletes and their people from around the world. it was a celebration for the ages. snoop dogg, billie eilish, red hot chili peppers her, and others performing marking the official handover to the 2028 los us angeles games and the end of these incredible and unforgettable summer games here in paris, the olympics. once again, showing that perhaps sport better than anything else. house can bring people together from all over the world, no matter their differences to embrace and celebrate one another whether that sentiment, all right, coy wire. >> thanks so much from paris and this could be the last time paris hosts the summer olympics. a new cnn analysis of data from the climate non-profit group carbon plan says past who cities like rome? at lana, tokyo, and athens, of course, for the olympics originated, will all be too hot by 2050 to ever host the summer

games. again, senior meteorologist elisa rafah is here and at least the extreme heat and humidity a growing threat to elite athletes yes, it causes heat stress. you've physically can't function, it becomes too dangerous to exert yourself outside. now, we know paris also hosted the olympics 100 years ago in 1924, since the last time they hosted, look at how much it's warm. a fever of 5.5 degrees since 1924, adding so many more sweltering days and overnights as you just don't get any relief at night. now, when you look towards the future, here's that study you were mentioning. it looked at wet-bulb globe temperature, which is a way to look at heat in combination with humidity. and wind and shaeed and sun angle. and basically, all of those factors tell us how our body reacts to the heat. so they did that analysis and decided that took the rush hold of where it becomes too dangerous for our bodies at two degrees for 27 degrees celsius, look at how many cities reached that threshold by 2050,

beijing, rio, athens atlanta, all looking like they're temperatures will be too dangerous to exert yourself outside and have these athletes performing when you look at the map, i mean, look at how many dark red dots that we have. most of the eastern us a couple of spots in europe, india, and a lot of cities, they're also in eastern asia. all look like there'll be too hot to host the olympics. so what do we do? our options are you host in cities that are brynn higher elevations because it's cooler. we don't have the olympics in summer, or we host only in cities in the southern hemisphere. because in june, july, and augusts, that's their winter, jessica. >> all right. elisa rafah. thanks so much. and we'll be right back. >> cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to a new nominee and her running mate fellow cnn for complete coverage. the democratic national convention starts monday, august 19 on cnn and streaming on max i am sure
