5:00 am
him too much and he tries not to look at them and you do mention there were eventually what, 376 law enforcement officers that took 77 minutes to confront and kill the gunman from the time that he entered the school through that unlocked door how our answer's going to be gotten what can be done next? from your perspective, from the perspective of lawmakers, to try and get this information to the families that they need and want and to get some justice we tried over 21 bills in the last legislative session will go back in january and will reiterate many of those bills. but you have a republican controlled legislature in texas that simply doesn't want to move forward on even the most common sensical things from accountability to transparency, or even raising an age he's limit which is all the families truly asked for it to 21 to access an ar 15, just like you would a handgun in texas. >> we are in a place where republican leadership this will
5:01 am
happen again because of the republican leadership in texas. >> and i hate to politicize this, but it's the truth the lack of gun safety bills is what got us here and it will continue again in texas. we have to remember that what happened in uvalde was a lack of leadership for certain but it was a failure at every level before, during and as you see now, it continues still today texas state senator roland gutierrez. >> thank you so much for joining us. a new hour of cnn, new central starts right now momentum in some key states new numbers out today showing kamala harris gaining ground on the democratic ticket is trying to ride the wave. >> doozy asm now into the democratic convention and new overnight the united states now sending a guided missile submarine to the middle east, as israel braces for an attack
5:02 am
by iran, that new reporting suggests could be large scale so long perez, hello, los angeles, wrapping up the summer games and laying out the red carpet. now for its next stop in la i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. this is cnn new central with democratic national convention just a week away. >> can donald trump curve? the kamala harris momentum? can harris keep it going? keep questions as new polling over the weekend finds a transformed 2024 race harris is now leading trump among likely voters in three key battleground states states that just weeks ago trump was leading president biden in the coming days, we will see biden make his first joint appearance with harris since he dropped out of the race. we will also see donald trump do something he has not done in weeks. host a midweek
5:03 am
rally. cnn's isaac dovere is leading us off. isaac harrak says sort of hunkering down today with 13 after a cross country blitz that we saw them go to many different important states how are they going to keep this or how are they planning to keep this momentum going? because it certainly has shifted yeah, look, this has been a very good three weeks for the harris campaign. remember, it's only been three weeks. and so the goal here is over the course of this week, to tee up what will they hope be a strong democratic convention next week to continue this momentum, she's got that event with biden on thursday where they're going to talk about lowering costs and really connect her both politically to joe biden, but also to the what they feel or the successes of the administration in making the economic case to americans that they can feel in their lives directly. but at the same time, the harris folks are not getting ahead of themselves just yesterday, she was in san francisco for a fundraiser and she said about all these poll numbers that are coming out.
5:04 am
she said, i've never been one to really believe in the polls, whether they're up or they're down, what we know is the stakes are so high and we can take nothing for granted in this moment. of course, with all of this, most people believe that this election will, no matter what happens with the popular vote, come down to it. most a couple of hundred thousand votes between a couple of states as it did in 2016 and in 2020, that may be enough to decide the electoral college one way or the other? >> isaac dovere. thank you so much for your reporting this morning. john. >> this is all with the democratic convention just one week away. exactly. and how is donald trump responding to the new reality wild lies about crowd size. first, there was trump saying that he drew bigger crowds than martin luther king junior, wrong. now he is saying the crowds were vice president harris are ai, generated so outlandish, it is almost hard to follow. cnn's steve contorno is with us now, and i have to say if you read the articles over the last three days people inside the
5:05 am
republican circles are trying to send messages. donald trump is saying, stop this that's right, john, they want him to focus on the areas where they believe that they have some traction against harris and walz, including immigration, the economy, inflation, crime instead, donald trump spent the weekend attacking vice or vice president harris has crowd size. >> now he has, of course, been caught in inflating his own crowd sizes in the past. well now he's trying to diminish her crowd sizes, saying, quote, nobody attended her michigan rally at rally and she should be disqualified over a fake crowd pictures. the problem is this is a right-wing conspiracy that is easily debunked by the countless photos and videos of that at michigan event that show thousands of people in detroit hangar waiting for her to arrive. and it just sort of part and parcel of the scattershot of attacks that we have seen from the former president in recent weeks over
5:06 am
the weekend at his montana rally, he was attacking, for example, jon tester that democratic senator in the state, over his weight. he said walz was quote, very freakish. she said the harris supporters were pink cared marx's looters, perverts the flag burners, hamas supporters, drug dealers, gun grabbers, and human traffickers. just an example of how they have struggled to get donald trump to stay on message in attacking vice president. and this new enthusiasm around this democratic ticket. >> steve, i am old enough to remember 2016 when donald trump on the campaign trail used to proclaim i love wikileaks calling on people not just to hack hillary clinton's campaign, but to release more details there now his campaign, he says, or his campaign says has been the victim of a hack that's correct, john. >> and there's still a lot we don't know at this point, but his campaign is saying that they were the victim of a hack at the expense of iran now iran
5:07 am
has denying this, but they say that a high ranking official hackers broke into their accounts and took some emails and communications. this all came to light because political reported it had received emails including internal communications and a research dossier on j.d. vance that the campaign had put together the campaign saying these documents were obtained legally from our foreign from foreign sources hostile to the united states. and they are saying, if you use them, then you are helping foreign adversaries. again, as you said, john, though back in 2016, donald trump was encouraging russia and others to go after then candidate clintons emails and he actually, during the race often talked about those emails even after it had been reported that they were the subject of a hack steve contorno, great to see you this morning. thank you very much. >> kate. i think it was you and i who were on tv when donald trump said, i love what he leaks. i think we cover that in
5:08 am
real time as with every important moment of that, yes, of 2016, we lived it live on tv together, joining us right now is the former vice chair of the dnc, mike complaint and jesse hunt former communications director for the nrsc, the senate republicans campaign arm. >> it's good to see both of you. jesse talk. let's start with what john and steve contorno were just talking about this i'm reporting that the trump campaign says that it's been hacked and that an anonymous source or, you know, hacker has been circulating vetting material on what the campaign had on j.d. vance if this all bears out, if iran is behind, this is dangerous for both campaigns dangerous for all parties. do you think the rnc and the dnc are ready for this this time yeah. >> look you know, obviously i've worked at several party committees. they've always hardened their cybersecurity defenses, particularly after what we saw in 2016, there have
5:09 am
been other attempts since then. it happens pretty regularly. in terms of threats i do think it's quite important that we acknowledge that this is likely some sort of retribution after donald trump took out the kuds force commander qasem soleimani, back when he was in office it's not too shocking to come to this conclusion after the trump campaign came out and said that they believe the iranians are behind it, but obviously everyone has to monitor there electronic communications whenever you're dealing with with hostile foreign actors. and i'm sure the trump campaign has taken the appropriate steps now yeah. >> and mike 2016 was a sad crash course for dems on what hacking and influence campaigns can do in us elections as john was just talking about, i want to read for you what adam schiff is saying about this, this time he's saying in 2016, the intelligence community moved much too slow to properly identify the hacking and dumping scheme carried out by russia to divide americans and benefit the trump campaign. the ic has since made improvements,
5:10 am
but should act quickly. here. >> what are the lessons? what do the campaigns need to be doing? now in talking to voters about, now, when it comes to this well first we? have to recognize that you have to take it seriously that if there is an actual hack that occurred, it is serious and it's a national security concern. we can't ignore that at all. second, you have to communicate the protections that you will take in advance and communicate the seriousness of the situation or in this instance since in some ways, the seriousness of the matter. we do have to put into context though, as was said at the beginning, that in 2016 when it was for his advantage, donald trump was encouraging russia hakh, hillary clinton's emails now is being communicated that somehow he was hacked because he is a threat to others. this is the same man who had national security documents in his bathroom. i'm sure he probably wrote wrote down his password on a piece of paper and then gave it to his
5:11 am
friends. so we've got to be clear about what steps are they actually taken. this is why it's important to find organizations that do this work every single day and exelon in maryland, a cyber nation in new york, those that actually have those serious detailed steps that can be taken because at the end of the day, if you're leader of the free world, can't protect their own security. how can they protect your own? >> jesse else and ask her, you kind of the latest conversation where it is on the campaign trail and drink j.d. vance doing a round of interviews. dana bash sat down with him and asked him for his take on what donald trump said, starting with what he said at the nabj questioning kamala harris has racial identity, lunin play this for you i believe that kamala harris is whatever she says she is, but i believe importantly that president trump is right, that she's a chameleon she pretends to be one thing in front of what audience she pretends to be something different in front of another audience. >> look dana, she's not running a political campaign. she's running a movie. she
5:12 am
only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. everything is scripted so this camila, the chameleon attack line, or trying to make it stick on kamala harris. >> jesse is something i find interesting because i actually thought that the trump campaign would stick with what they had been trying kind as she right when she got into the race, was trying to label her a san francisco liberal. do you think this idea of the chameleon ideas a better label foreign opponent well after kamala harris has been in this race now as the, as the nominee for three weeks and hasn't sat for a single tough interview, done a central press conference it does leave a degree of ambiguity out there. >> she has no policy positions that she's advocated for. we've we've witnessed her tried to read as african policy positions. i know that's that is also something i heard from j.d. vance yesterday but yes, you are correct. she has not had for interviews. keep going yeah. she's used staff to flip
5:13 am
flop on key issues like banning fracking, medicare for all these are all things that are going to be very difficult to explain away to independent voters in a state like pennsylvania, right? >> it was very clear where she was going with that policy flip-flop i think right now, kamala harris could do the american people a huge benefit by actually sitting down and answering tough questions. and she's obviously running from the fact that she inherited this ticket from joe biden. she's responsible for a lot of the disruption that we've seen here in america, 20% cumulative inflation or southern border that's bringing fentanyl into the communities across the country. she has to answer for all of these issues because as she's always said, she was the last person in that room with joe biden mike, final word to you in full. >> this idea in to also with the momentum we're seeing in the polling coming out from the new york times and college polling showing the race is tight. there's no clear leader, but very clearly kamala harris has momentum in the polling, especially in battleground states if she's
5:14 am
not sitting for interviews, does that reflect that she is what do you think that reflects? do you think this as? i know, jesse has called it a sugar high as what he thinks he sees in the polling. but how do you see that playing here? >> i think the republicans are scrambling because they know they have a disastrous ticket. so their argument is that the vice president has just you just said inherited this so there's a lot of subtle sexism and nonsense within these kind of comments. she's the vice president. she was elected that if something happened to the president, she would step up. this is the reason why there's such support around it. and because of the supposed sugar high and the things that they say that are so concerning as your own screen is indicating, she's up in the three battleground states. so the reality is this, they can continue to have their nonsensical answers and we will continue to see that people will stand in support of carmel harris if the election were today, she will be elected president and so the comparison is that they will say she hasn't rolled out policies, not true when she was in las vegas, you talked about what what happened around tips for
5:15 am
workers when we talk about the vision of it, it's the reason why she stood up when it comes to money toronto health, they don't have a vision while she does, and they should also probably be concerned when j.d. vance continues to talk. >> the other vance being chris vance, the one who was the former chair washington state who said republicans with any conscious for the country, what staying with kamala harris, if you actually want to do what's right, you have a vice president that is ready, who could probably protect her passwords, probably protect our national security, as opposed to the opposition who don't have a vision, don't have a policy and don't have a plan in very good display of the battle of it. >> all right, here in his conversation gentlemen, thank you both sir ukraine ukrainian armed forces, pushing further into russian territory. what that looks like and what's happened there. and a fast spreading wildfire now, burning homes near the ancient city of athens. also after steph curry led team usa to the gold over france french mcdonald's is

5:21 am
urgency everywhere. natasha yeah, john d. us is really trying to send a very strong message here to iran and its proxies to essentially back off in the way they are doing that is by really increasing the number of assets that they have in the region right now, including as you mentioned, buy signaling, that they are sending this guided missile a marine, this nuclear powered submarine to the region, something that is extremely rare for the pentagon to actually announce. >> usually the submarines operate in relative secrecy. and so to announce that this submarine, which is armed with dozens and dozens of cruise missiles, is going to be deployed to the region really is sending a very loud signal here to tehran and its proxies that the u.s. is prepared to act on behalf of the israelis to defend the israelis if iran decides to launch an attack on israel. and in addition to that the u.s. has also announced that it is going to beat speeding up the deployment of
5:22 am
the uss lincoln carrier to them the region which is set to replace the carrier that is currently in the area of the roosevelt. it has been operating a elsewhere now it is going to move quicker to the region following this call that secretary austin had with israeli defense minister yoav galant. all of these deployments were made public last night following that call in which austin reiterated to the israeli defense minister that the u.s. is prepared to do whatever it takes to defend its ally. now of course, this all comes as the region is bracing for this retaliation by iran following the israeli, what? presumed israeli assassination of the hum, of hamas's most senior political leader in tehran earlier, this month, it has been really widely expected that iran was going to retaliate somehow really, no one knows exactly when or how that is going to happen. but the pentagon now i'm placing a number of very strategic assets in the region to try to calm tensions, but also of course,

5:29 am
hoped would be a long political career. it is called camp well stone and it helps aspiring progressive politicians joining me now is the mayor of st. paul, minnesota, melvin carter to talk us through this a bit. as i understand it. thank you so much for coming on this morning you one of the trainers at that political boot camp that walz attended before he ran for office. what did you see during that training in walls that was different from the other candidates? >> good morning. thanks for having me on. yes, i was one of the trainers were part of a group of folks who after the plane crash that tragically killed former us senator paul wellstone, spent some time traveling the country and just training progressive activists. we go around the country and try our best to inspire people over the course of a three-day training. and every now and then we'd meet a participant who inspired us and there was this guy named tim walz at the training almost 20 years ago, who was one of the most
5:30 am
incredibly authentic people we'd ever met had, had a story just that they worked really, really well and came across really, really well. he was running in a district that we all knew he couldn't possibly win. but he took really learn and built his stump speech and builds his campaign and one that campaign. and of course the rest is history. >> i do want to talk about that because walz, who had never run for office before, managed to beat a six-term republican incumbent. why do you think he was able to do that and then hold onto that seat governor walz has an approach to politics where we see all the time elected leaders and political figures their goal is to essentially other folks and say, you know, if they don't agree with me in the name must be bad people or they don't agree with me than they must not love america and they must not love minnesota or whatever it is. >> governor walz has brought some minnesota this this brand called our minutes, are called
5:31 am
won minnesota it's what he says all the time to say listen. our goal has got to be here. people are going has got to be to listen to people in a way that we hadn't before and ensure that they know that they are part of the vision that we have for our communities. i think he did that very effectively in the first he's done a very effectively in minnesota and we minnesotans are really excited that the rest of the country, again to see it marijuana, to talk to you about the controversy that was brought up by j.d. vance, who started at basically, but but back then when he ran and subsequently when he ran for governor, he was accused of embellishing his 24 year military record and it's happening again. fellow veteran, now republican rival j.d. vance here he is. and what he said in short, about why he went after walz's military history they never went to a war zone. >> i'm not criticizing tim walz's service. i'm criticizing the fact that he lied about his service for political gain the harris-walz campaign says walz misspoke when talking of carrying
5:32 am
weapons in war because he never saw combat do you think the walls needs to further explain of more robust explanation of some of the things that he's been accused of by vance no, i think this is the perfect example of a politically bankruptcy. the guy who was in the military for 24 years didn't serve nobody enough for the guy who is in the military for four years. the truth is both of their services variance both of their services commendable and i think the folks who are trying, to make a political attack line out of somebody who lived a life of service to community that's what it was an apology. >> are there other weaknesses that you think republicans are going to try to exploit when it comes to walz? >> you know, i love watching them scramble to try to come up with attack lines on the vice president, i love watching them scramble that when it comes to trying to find attack lines on governor walz, i think the american people are smarter

they come? coming from, are they switching parties or is this something else? >> yes. so where is kamala harris picking up voters that joe biden couldn't pick up. all right. so this is harris now. this is joe biden back in the spring. harris is getting a bit more of the biden base from 2020. so these are 2020 biden voters. biden was winning 90% of them. look at now harris getting 93% of them but it's not just here where harris is picking up momentum. remember donald trump, there's all this talk. donald trump is going to pick up those untraditional voters, those voters who don't normally turn out, look what harris is doing among them, alright, these are 20 20 non-voters. joe biden was winning just 28%. look, we're harris has jumped up to, she's up to 43% of these voters. a jump of 15 points where she's not getting support from, she's not getting support from traditional donald trump voters. those voters are sticking with donald trump, but she's putting back together the joe biden coalition in 2020, and she's picking up some untraditional voters it says, well, younger voters, voters of color. and this is what's driving harris's upward momentum in the pulse. >> we always talk about this snapshot in time. this is one
5:41 am
poll, one of the poll of polls? i know you love a poll of polls. what are they? yeah. okay. so if this was just one poll, then i don't think we'd be taking i wouldn't be that interested in it because one paul, you can have outliers, et cetera, though we do see it across three states. so i want to go to another little piece of data. i think a lot of people didn't necessarily look at. this is again, the democrat versus donald trump. this as an aggregate the polling in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin look at this. this is ipsos polling, the june margin biden versus trump. what you see, you see trump up by two points across those three states very similar to new york times sienna college poll looked at where we are now the august margin harris versus trump. again, perhaps not as favorable to harris, but still pretty gosh darn favorable that trend line. look at this harris up by two points. so again, that three to five points moving that we saw in the new york times sienna college poll, we see it here as well. harris now up by two, again though, no clear leader. here's the thing though here is the thing. >> what does this mean for the electoral college? >> yeah, if harris is able to win in wisconsin, in michigan, in pennsylvania, she could still lose know sunbelt battleground states, georgia,
5:42 am
arizona, nevada, and look at that's well, she gets to exactly 270 electoral vote solidly momentum that we're seeing in these states. it's so important because of harris is able to win those states. she seems to be leading in right now, even though there's no clear leader, that would get her to exactly 270 electoral votes. and we'll get her a chance to be the number one instead of the number two. >> interesting though to note, just helping close it as you're talking up two points. i mean, this is when we in the march we are still talking a very tight race here. but again, the momentum is on harris aside, you'd rather be up them bottom, but at the end of the day, it's still very, very tight. >> all right. harry enten. thank you so much. thank you. >> all right. a new endorsement this morning for the harris-walz team, the league of united latin american citizens, lulac has never before endorsed a presidential candidate. candidate with us now is domingo garcia, the chair of the political action committee for lulac. thank you so much for being with us, mr. garcia. so why now because it's historic election for the first time we're seeing a candidate, former president trump, and a
5:43 am
party that's talking about a really bizarre weirdo ideas like we're going to deport 14 million people were going to send the army door to door looking and asking people to show us your papers, and talking about abolishing the department of education deepening education, they things are very important to our community and we believed it was time that we stepped up and with hundreds of thousands of members, especially in those battleground states you just mentioned arizona, nevada, wisconsin. >> we think we can make a difference prince and elect a president like president harris, vice president harris, who can really unite the country instead of divide us. >> had you made the decision to endorse president biden when he was still in the race? >> we did not we probably would not have done that endorsement. but when you see somebody like vice president harris, the daughter of immigrants, somebody from california, somebody who has ideas about how to bring this country together and deal with the issues of dealing with a broken immigration system, finding a bipartisan solution, bringing democrats that's the republicans to get her security mother at the same time in the military and crisis dealing
5:44 am
with education, ealing with the economy, and getting jobs that will pay good pains, wages. that's where i thought it's time to decide, you know what what j.d. vance and what trump say about a women needs to be at home when raising kids and women's place is in the house, but it's also the white house. >> so listen just to make sure i heard that correctly. you don't think you would have endorsed president biden had he stayed in the race yet you are choosing to endorse harris. do you really see them as that different as candidates? >> but i think that's that different. i think the fact of the matter is prison biden has done a great job, but he is time had come and harris brings a new vitality and new energy, and new ideas that i are going to make a really a big difference for our country. the next four years in prison, trump, ex-president trump it's really kind of a negative force in american politics who you call him a negative force in american politics, who is doing better? >> with latino voters than he did four years ago and eight
5:45 am
years ago. so why are they? he was doing better against president biden? i don't think he will do better against kamala harris, the latest polls, especially i was in vegas for her rally just yesterday, and she was really had the crowd energized it's a lot of latino voters, especially young voters, young latinos between the ages of 18 and 35 they're coming out for harris and they're turning against trump do you think i mean, can you identify a policy differences between vice president harris and president biden that would that make you endorse her but not biden? like just talk about the economy which i think is the most important part. her idea, the infrastructure bill that put jobs, especially construction jobs, and re-innovated the hospitality industry. those are jobs where latinos are play a big portion. she talked about cutting taxes for people who work as waiters and bartenders, people that are forgotten in on the margins. she's talking about. i'm going to waive taxes for those individuals on tips and so on. those steps are
5:46 am
things that i think make a difference in the average lives of working class latino families throughout america and it's paying off the tips idea, the waving taxes on tips was something we heard previously from donald trump, correct he said it, but he never did it. >> the fact of the matter is, i think if the democrats were able to take the house and senate and the presidency, they will be able to pass an immigration reform bill be able to pass funding for infrastructure and development of our communities, as well as hoping or education in which i think is a key ones. and your service industry, industry, i was a former bart bartender awareness our we pay my way through law school? that's an important part of it. and i think she will make it happen. about just talking about it i bartended for a catering company in college. some of the best education i ever had. domingo garcia. great to see you this morning. thank you very much. >> kate begu, have a the defense secretary ordering a guided missile submarine to the middle east as israel is bracing for what is now

for your home from top to bottom this is the home for the world's most essential stories in journalism. and now cnn has been recognized with the most me nominee nations have any guns organization this year this is cnn this is cnn the world's news network and you sign of just how on edge the middle east is right now, us defense secretary lloyd austin has now ordered a guided missile submarine to the middle east and is speeding up the deployment of a carrier strike group to the region. >> as new reporting is suggesting that israel is preparing for a large-scale attack by iran and attack that could be just days away joining me right now is cnn military
5:52 am
analyst, retired lieutenant general mark hertling. it's great to see you general, the deployment of a submarine speeding up the deployment of a strike group. it's clearly on one level, it's a show of force for sure. but what do you think this means? >> well, first of all, the strike group is coming from the pacific kate, it's the lincoln carrier battle group cvgb and they will travel that long distance to reinforce the lincoln i'm sorry, the roosevelt group that's already in the mediterranean the announcement of the submarine is a little bit unusual though submarines aren't usually publicly announced, they are normally with those strike groups. there's usually one or two of them in the same vicinity of the group for protection. but because of their capabilities, they're usually not considered a part of the group. so secretary austin then actually saying that georgia is going to be the uss georgia is going to be in the area is extremely unusual, but it's sending that
5:53 am
deterrence signal to a lot of people who might be considering what they're going to do next within the region the goal clearly is deterrence because the region is on edge and it feels like it could what has been going back and-forth could explode into a regional larger regional conflict, really, any moment now, president biden did a new interview over the weekend that released over the weekend and he talked about which is part of wrapped up into all of this, the stalled ceasefire and hostage release talks in this new interview with cbs, let me play what he said general is a ceasefire possible before the and are still possible? the plan i put together endorsed by the g7, endorsed by that the un security council, cetera. is still viable and i'm working literally every single day to my whole team to see to it that it doesn't escalate into a regional war. but it easily can
5:54 am
barak ravid of axios is reporting that the israeli minister of defense told blood austin that iranian military preps suggests that iran is getting ready for a large-scale attack in retaliation what a large scale move by iran be the thing that could ignites what is feared. >> so monster, i mean, all the reporting has long banned generals, you know, is that ron does not want that yeah. >> and they don't kate because they know the repercussions of a large-scale attack. they could not sustain any kind of action that both israel and the west would, would conduct against them. if they're attack against israel resulted in either killed or injured but every israeli citizens so i don't think we're going to see a large-scale attack. we may see something like occurred in april when a bunch of missiles were launched and rockets were launched. but truthfully, you know, the key thing is that israel citizens are not harmed in this approach because then
5:55 am
israel will have a rationale for countering the biggest concern i have is the actors that are associated with around specifically hezbollah because they have such a capacity to strike a short distance in a short period of time that it really is the most dangerous course of action for israel while i have you, i want to ask you about ukraine because there's some really interesting movement that's happening there right now. you've, russia is now urging more civilians to flee. some of its territory as ukraine is stepping up its assault after the incursion that has seen ukraine's forces advance of what is it some 20 miles the kursk operation marked the first time that regular ukrainian and special operations units have entered russian territory what do you see in this well, first of all, i thought it was a raid array. >> it is something where you go in and go out just to provoke and to show that you can do it. this now falls in the doctrinal category of demonstration.
5:56 am
they've been in there now for almost eight days. today will be the eighth day. >> they have taken a lot of ground, as you said, estimates are between 20 kilometers. >> why or excuse me, 40 kilometers wide and about 20 kilometers deep. that's a big swath of land. >> and they're staying the thing that concerns me is can ukraine sustain? team their actions and what i mean by that, it's really easy to drive into an area that's not guarded by the russian forces. it's a whole lot tougher to stay there when you need logistics, when you need people pushing fuel and water and ammunition and food forward to those locations. there are indicators that some of the ukrainian forces are now digging in, in some areas. i would not expect them to stay, but i could be very wrong. i think they're going to pull out, declare victory and say we were able to do this in an area of russia that was undefended much like, you have hurt. our nation. we're going to hurt yours and it's a very strategic move. >> it's not tactically
5:57 am
profound, but it is strategic. >> and i commend ukraine for doing this by the way. one of the pieces of equipment they used was a stryker vehicle, which we've talked about before. i was a striker brigade commander those things move fast. they don't need a lot of fuel they don't need a lot of repair their quiet. so you get in and out with that. that's another indication that this is a demonstration and that they may be pulling out soon. >> also, reinforcing the point of what equipment, what artillery, artillery, what machines they have are a huge part of how they can dictate hey, in manage what's happening on the ground as we've talked about now since this war broke out, it's great to see you, general. thank you so much, sir. >> all right. on our radar this morning, police say an officer is fighting for his life after he was injured during protests in ferguson, missouri jury protesters were in the streets marking ten years since 18-year-old michael brown was killed by a ferguson police officer. protests which became pivotal and propelling in the

black lives matter movement. now, officer travis brown, fell and hit his head after someone charged at him, according to the police department several people have been arrested over the protests alright, ahead, a wildfire quickly spreading close to athens, greece. authorities had to evacuate some people the flames move from house to house, some hospitals had to transfer patients there. you can see that smoke. wow near the famous parthenon firefighters have battled dozens of fire so far this summer as greece saw its hottest record since right away hottest june and july on record alright, mcdonald's france joking on instagram that it is thinking about removing its classic curry dipping sauce all because of the man steph curry his performance in the men's basketball final against france at the olympics helped team usa win the gold medal. but a mcdonald's rep. assured all the curry dipping sauce fans
5:59 am
you know, can keep on dunking even though it was the usa that walked away with gold. john, we will go back to freedom fries so fast if they do that, there will be massive retaliation i just all right, new this morning by 2050, rising temperatures could make it too hot to hold the summer olympics in most of the world. >> and that includes some us cities that have already hosted the games. cnn meteorologist elisa rafah joins us now with this new look. what are you learning john, we've already seen warming in the last 100 years. >> paris hosted the olympics in 1924, since the last time they hosted, you could see those temperatures have climbed an average of five degrees since 1924 we've added 120 scorching days and at sweltering nights to paris, because the climate has warmed a new study now takes those trends and looks into the future. they looked at wet-bulb globe temperature, which looks at heat, but with a combination of humidity and wind and shaeed and sun angle. so it really looks at heat stress on the body. how is our
6:00 am
body react? jean to this heat study decided that at two degrees fahrenheit is really that threshold. we're just becomes too dangerous to exert yourself outside. look at how many cities become too dangerous and too hot beijing, rio, athens, atlanta, just some of those cities on the list or previous host cities. and when you look at the map of hamas any other cities there are, i mean, look a lot of the eastern us, a couple of cities in europe, look how many places in india, eastern asia, all with cities, places that are too hot, too dangerous to host the olympics. so our options are we the host in higher elevations, cooler elevations, we don't have the summer games in summer or we really need to rely on cities in the southern hemisphere because to target june, july, and augusts, those summer months, you need the cooler winter season of the southern hemisphere for some of those cities. but again, something we're really have to think about if we don't decrease our emissions, this could be the situation in the
