every single their life. it's amazing to me how many people write in about their dogs changing for the better the farmer's dog is just our way to help people take caremarket

mentation is going to radically improve this case has been a lifesaver. >> i'm our life signs in rehoboth beach, delaware. and this is cnn you are in the cnn newsroom. >> hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean in new york, and we have a breaking news in the israel hamas war he israeli military issuing a rare announcement, their forces have discovered a number of bodies in the gaza strip, moments ago, president biden acknowledged the discovery to reporters. now this news has prompted the hostage and hostages and missing families forum in israel. to call for the public to mobilize, to pressure the netanyahu government to reach an agreement on a hostage and

ceasefire deal. there are currently 107 total hostages living and dead are still being held in gaza. that is, according to israel and the hostage forum see cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson is in jerusalem and nick, it's been several hours now since the idf put out what you've categorized and explained as a very rare statement, what more are you learning? >> yeah the moment, we're really waiting for the idf to put forward more information, the identification process, which is what they say is underway at the moment, the retrieval an identification process of these bodies that they've discovered during combat operations, which a few hours ago so we're still ongoing and that was that was the environment in which they were retrieving the bodies and then be able to go through the process of identification is something that israel has become all too painfully familiar with the process of trying to find out about,

generally speaking about hostages, whether or not they've found bodies of hostages and if so, who those hostages may be, this is a process that israel has a huge amount of expertise and so in the context of what we're hearing tonight, the fact that israel is saying that it that it has discovered these bodies and of itself is, is unusual for them to say that during combat operations. so it's raised that level of expectation, particularly with the hostage families and all across the country quite frankly, and this evening, there were protests on the streets. of tel aviv and other cities in israel where many of the families of hostages and their friends and supporters were coming out quite simply to demand that the prime minister netanyahu does the deal to bring the hostages back, trying to put increasing amounts of pressure on him at the same time as talks a slowly, slowly going on step by very painful

step in the back brown but at the moment, everyone here is waiting for that next piece of information to come from the idf, who will at this time very likely have a good accounting for what they know and what they don't know. >> such. a such a heaviness as everyone waits for that information. all right. nic robertson for us in jerusalem. thank you very much for that. and as we mentioned, president biden just speaking about this issue outside this church in delaware, let's go now to cnn's priscilla alvarez, who covering the president priscilla, what did he have to say? >> well, the president didn't offer many more details. he did say that his staff is in talks with the israelis and confirmed that they had discovered bodies in gaza, did not have the exact number and again, these conversations are ongoing behind the scenes between the u.s. and israel. but take a listen to what he told reporters qatar is as he left church contract girl was

discovered bodies gaza not exact number why do you think you're on the verge of an agreement? >> how often this person because leaders of both have led in both in egypt, people are continuing to meet and we think we are close the deal. >> they've all said they agree on the principle keep your fingers crossed yes mr.

brennan, let you think of rod president trump's behavior at arlington cemetery with the visit to the poll. >> and i don't want to add up to what i think now the president there expressing optimism about those ongoing talks for a ceasefire deal that would include the release of hostages. >> now, we do know from senior administration officials that those talks are ongoing. a lot of what is being discussed is working out these details of what exactly this will include and how well it would be executed. but there are still sticking points. this has been painstaking negotiations for the u.s. and all parties involved and the optimism we heard there from the president is one, we have heard before, and yet they're still has not been a deal despite those conversations ongoing minute by minute, hour by hour. but certainly what we still await these details and whether or not these bodies do include hostages, the president and the

vice president has, have met with hostage families frequently have been in touch with them the last time they were together with july 25 when the hostage families, some of them visited the white house. so certainly this has been a top priority for this administration. we have repeatedly heard officials talking about the work that's ongoing on this front, but still waiting for more details from the white house as they continue conversations with israel to try to get more information about what exactly who exactly the idf found. >> all right. priscilla alvarez for us it is reporting out of washington, dc. thank you very much. priscilla. and we have to middle east experts to discuss this further. cnn political and national security analyst david sanger, and national security correspondent for the new york times. he also wrote the book, new cold wars, china's rise, russia's invasion, and america's struggle to defend the west. also with us it's aaron david miller, longtime state department middle east negotiator, who's now a senior

fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace great to have both of you here with us aaron. >> i want to start first with you because your background is in hostage negotiation. we don't know all we know are these bodies were found. the idf has not categorized who they are there. clearly, obviously trying to identify them now. but they did take this step, this rare step of putting out this statement, asking people to refrain from rumors and spreading rumors what does it say to you that the idf is making this move? >> thanks for having me, jake look, i think there's it's no secret that there's growing divide between the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu and senior members of the israeli defense forces. last week, there was a virtual shouting between minister of defense golan and the prime minister over the absence of urgency and the lack of strategy on the part of the current israeli government led by the prime minister both are

freeing the hostages, cutting a deal in an effort, perhaps to de-escalate the war idf has a stake in transferring their military resources. what they believe is the graver threat in the northern border and the idf as a longstanding mission to redeem those on the battlefield, those who are alive, and those, and those florida, and while it's understandable, to prosecute a war against hamas, and prevent another repetition of october 7. the idf understands that the people of israel understand many israeli politics addition to understand that the redemption of the living the redemption of living is critically important and time may be on admitted now that too, now aside as well as yeah, i guess sinwar, the head of hamas, but certainly as today's events seem to suggest not on the side of the hostages and their families and david as

aaron is alluding to there, this drives so much of the heart of what's happening domestically in israel as well, this push and pull between how the prime minister is proceeding and what especially these families the hostages are pushing for. >> we see these massive protests, not just with families, but with everyday israelis going into tel aviv to protest and now these families, some families of the hostages calling on israelis to mobilize in light of this news, help people understand kind of all the dynamics at play here. as we await more information well, it's complicated. as aaron just suggested that problem, the core problem here right now is that for prime minister netanyahu there is almost every political advantage in dragging out these negotiations raising new issues. and the same thing for sinwar, the head of hamas

and this is why you have seen so many repeats for the president coming out as in that a tape that you just saw from an hour or so ago in which he says were right on the edge of things and was just it was mid july than secretary of state blinken told us were inside the ten yard line here. >> the reason they can't get this over the goal is that whenever you come right up to the agreement, it's in the event it's to the advantage of both leaders to try to push this off i think tomorrow you're going to probably see very significant demonstrations. we've seen them before because frankly that the number the tyranny of the numbers here is pretty big. there were 250 hostages taken roughly, about 100 got released, about eight have been rescued. and that leaves a good

number over 100 unaccounted for. we think probably a third of those are probably died. and i wouldn't be surprised if some of those are in this group that has been identified by the idf. >> and aaron, i don't want to gloss over just the hell that these families have gone through in almost a year now that they're loved ones have been gone. and what it must he like right now, just knowing there's a big question mark over all of this. but knowing that and i am curious how you think this development might affect the ceasefire talks, the hostage negotiator the negotiations over getting a deal done it's hard to say just again you know, you saw on judicial reform for 42 weeks in a row, hundreds of thousands of israelis out in the streets defending what they believe to be the kind of society that they want, the kind of israel but they want, but the san and

cooling politically inconvenient reality is you only need 60 plus one to stay in power in the knesset? >> and mr. netanyahu has a very tight-knit coherent coalition of 64 and it's stunning to me, frankly even by his own, his determination, he wants to stay in power more than any other politician wants to wants to have power. but here is a man who presided over the bloodiest day for jews since the liberation of the nazi death camps, the greatest intelligence failure in israel's history and as identify total victory, total victory. >> even he knows is an unrealizable goal. >> so i'm afraid that unless you saw a crack within that coalition or the kinds of protests, literally 24/7 just in essence, shut down the country which i don't think most israelis are willing to do. this is going to drag on.

and as david pointed out when negotiations closed, a closed because there is urgency, both parties believe that an agreement it's better off than for them that no agreement at all i'm sad to say neither sinwar nor netanyahu hesitant to compare that when it comes to time they are in effect on the same wavelength. sadly and cruelly and david, i saw you nodding your head there a little bit yeah. >> it's a remarkable situation. >> listen to what you heard the president say when he asked, when he was asked about the negotiations, he just keeps repeating. >> it's time for this war to and it's time for this war to end his critics are you and i think there's some validity to that did he has more leverage to make the war in than he gives himself credit for and of course, there's a long time

and traditional supporter of israel and israel's very important right to self-defense he doesn't want to threaten the cut off weapons will do anything else that would force netanyahu's hand but clearly that's the internal debate that is underway. and you could even see vice president harris walking that fine line in the cnn interview the other day it will be fascinating to see how this plays out. and again, as we wait to hear more information about our breaking news tonight, which is that the idf has said that it has found what would it has categorized as a number of bodies and that they are working to identify those at david sanger in aaron david miller. thank you so much for your context here. we appreciate it. >> thank you up. >> next, vice president harris tonight sharply criticizing former president trump over what happened at arlington national cemetery just a few days ago. we're going to discuss when we come back. >> and also breaking news just into cnn what police are

that trump quote, disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt adding quote, it is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the united states of america. tom nichols joins us now he's a staff writer for the atlantic. tom, great, great to have you here with us on a saturday night this was the first time the vice president really addressed this controversy. what do you think about her statement and more broadly about this whole episode? >> well i think she's right. and, you know, donald trump has no sense of propriety. he has not even disrespect for veterans in the fallen but the fallen, but a real contempt for them and he's made that clear many times this is this is the guy who stood there with john kelly in 2017 in front of the grave of kelly son, and looked

around at this very sacred place and said, i don't get it. what was in it for them? he is referred to the fallen from our armed forces as losers and suckers. so this is just one more event in donald trump's long and reprehensible line of really ghastly events and just really unacceptable behavior when it comes to america's veterans and particularly to our wounded warriors and our fallen soldiers. >> and i want to talk more too about vice president harris and what she's been doing with her campaign this week, she sat down with cnn's dana bash for first interview since becoming the democratic nominee for president and she was asked about some of her previous, previous policy positions, which there have been a lot of questions about and i want to play some clips of what she said in that we can talk about it in 2019, i believe in a town hall, you said you were asked,

would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office and you said there's no question. >> i'm in favor of banning fracking. yes. >> so it changed in that campaign in 2020, i made very clear where i stand. we are in 2024 and i've not changed that position nor will i going forward. i kept my word and i will keep my word. >> what made you change that position at the time well, let's be clear. >> my values have not changed something that you said in 2019 when you first ran, there was a debate. you raised your hand when asked whether or not the border should be decriminalized, do you still believe that i believe there should be consequences. >> we have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally. and there should be consequences dana, i think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed so tom,

do you see that how do you see this playing with some of those voters out there? >> who were on the fence are still on the fence about where she is on different policies. >> and do you see this as attacked the middle i do see it as a tack to the center. >> that's what presidential candidates do what ronald reagan did with george hw bush, did it you know, brock obama changed his mind on gay marriage. >> bill clinton declared the era of big government over running for president is not the same thing as running for senate in california or trying to win a democratic primary. i think it was a completely normal interview. i think those are the two moments where dana bash tried to pin down harris on changing her mind, but you're not going to find a presidential candidate who runs an doesn't change his or her mind. and i think it's kind of

interesting. we're having this conversation at the same time that donald trump has had now five different positions on abortion in the last five days. but that's just part of running for president. and i think the rest of the interview was pretty standard interview before a presidential candidate. and i think it was nothing, nothing revolutionary, nothing no home runs, no major fouls. it was it was kinda refreshingly normal actually, to be honest in my view and i do want to ask you about this debate that's right around the corner. >> you know, i feel like what the holiday weekend people forget it is right around the corner obviously, harris has been taking shots at the trump campaign over whether these mics will remain open or closed and they're working through all of that but more broadly how high are the stakes with this debate do you think well, i don't think she's been taking shots at them about the mic.

>> i think they've been i think she's been kind of trolling trump about if you really feel that comfortable leaves the microphones on because he's going to shout over them anyway, no matter whether they're on or off i think the debates in this case are more important for trump because i think what you saw in the cnn interview is that, you know, harris is not going to rise to some of the bait. i think one of the most effective moments in that interview is when she was asked about one of trump's one of his many gasoline racist statements, and she said you know, same old playbook. next question, and that's exactly what she should have done and that's the kind of thing that annoys him. he's the one and that i think runs the risk of confirming yet again to millions of people that he's unstable, that there's something wrong with him, you know, when trump's not on television, his approval ratings go up.

>> the more he's on the more people see of him. his writings go back down and i think the debate is a great opportunity for him to look unhinged as he usually does. and he spent in a meltdown for a few weeks. i don't think that's going to change in the next. as you pointed out jessica, it's like were eight days away from it now, nine days away from it i don't think he's going to change and a week-and-a-half. >> well, we will all watch it unfold together. tom nichols, great to have you. thanks so much thank you. we have new information about the suspect in the accident that killed a hockey star and his brother. when we come back conquer financial reports gaga, 2000 murders. >> he's conquer 300.

here will be shipped across the country and sold far cheaper than legal. we'd how many houses have you hit in antioch? >> about 50. >> how many more might exist in antioch? >> so are we to in one to 200 houses up to 200 that they think they know of. >> law enforcement says this criminal enterprise can operate in california more easily than anywhere else in the country. because california law says illegally growing weed is just a misdemeanor. in most cases, it's relatively low risk, huge reward. >> this, whether you have one plant or truck full of plants, what is the penalty in california? >> that's a misdemeanor in california that offers an opportunity says law enforcement for organized crime inside the suburban grow houses on walls and doors instructions in chinese cnn reviewed antioch search warrants as well as online property records and

found that in nearly every grow house basit an antioch, almost all of them go back to a chinese owner or occupant is related chinese criminal seneca, that's dominant. >> why would the chinese cartel care about marijuana? >> because it's so lucrative there's a very profitable crop and it's not just in california. we are starting to see as we unpack this more more ties between a lot of these growing operations and chinese organized crime 22 states have illegal grow operation says senator susan collins on member of the intelligence committee booting her state of maine. >> why are chinese transnational criminal groups here in the united states buying these homes and growing illegal marijuana in them. >> it's difficult for me to believe that there isn't some sort of plot involved. how much

of this bleeds into a national security issue? >> i believe it does pose a serious national security threat. as well as a public health risk back in california, we learned there's even more financial incentive for illegal growers. >> it's been about two months since the girl houses were busted. we've learned that one of the houses is going back on the market and today is the open house. a manicured home with a for sale sign listed for just under $1 million flipped since that day, we watched law enforcement swarming. >> hello? >> hi, susanna, susanna wong is real estate agent listing this open house and the agent who sold three other suspected grow houses in this area, she owns one of those homes where authorities found more than $900,000 of marijuana last

year. >> her attorney tells cnn how she owns was bus said by the state, but it was being rented at the time and she was not involved in any illegal activity lines, killing law, and i'm a correspondent with cnn. we're recording here. i just wanted to talk quantum did not want to speak on camera, but she did invite us to come inside this home. she's listed to record video go on our cell phone and take a look at this immaculately cleaned up space. the dramatic make-over seen in the master bathroom before and after the house is listed for $200,000 more than the owner paid for it. >> now they're going to make money off the houses as well as they so bill tilson lives on this block. >> what's deterring them from setting up shop someplace else? they've got to recover their equipment. so now they just picked another location and do the same thing. oh, we got to misdemeanor and then they'll do the same same thing and on and on and on. so it's whack-a-mole. >> one of the houses we saw

rated that day is owned by an oakland police officers, samson liu, cannabis control tells us that what they found inside the house was 80 pounds it's other illicit marijuana trimmings and they were stuffed in garbage bags. a home had been extensively modified for cultivation, and it also have been fortified from the inside cannabis control adds that it doesn't know whether lee was living in the home at the time or it had been rented out to tenants citing an ongoing investigation. we reached out to the oakland police department who says that since the raid, samson liu has been placed on administrative leave. they are cooperating with outside law enforcement and treating this as a personnel matter. we did try to reach officer lieu both in person over the phone as well as an email. we did not hear back. young lah, cnn, minneapolis an incredible report, young. thank you very much for that. there is a push to make guardian caps mandatory and youth football, we're gonna have much more on

jessica. >> lots has changed since the last time i played the helmet, i were my last season with the falcons is now banned by the nfl because it doesn't meet the league safety standards. there have been 50 rule changes the last two decades. all land making the game safer for the advancement of technology and equipment have accelerated inventions like guardian caps weren't around when i played, we wanted to take a closer look at their potential to make the game safer. each football season, sporting cathedrals like this mercedes-benz stadium are full of excitement about the game. but each season also brings concerns for families and players about the dangers that come with it there has been a recent uptick in efforts to make the game safer. one of them, these protective helmet covers called guardian caps. >> but do they work the georgia-based company aims to reduce damage that can be caused to the brain by the sudden stopping or rotation of the head. >> the nfl's research led them to make these caps mandatory

for all players during practice aside from kickers in quarterbacks were off limits for contact players can also choose to wear the caps during the games. nfl executive vice president jeff miller says the statistics show the cats increase safety as a result of the last two seasons, we saw about a 50% decrease in concussions in the positions that were mandated to wear them so of course we said okay, all positions will now wear them in this preseason. >> no nfl rule changes and advancements in the helmets themselves could also be leading to a decrease in concussions the company says that more than 3,000 high schools and more than 750 youth programs currently used the caps. one question is, if the nfl is making the mandatory for the pros, why aren't they mandatory for kids? one potential drawback could be cost. each one of these rants about $70, $56 when bought in bulk for a team, many schools are already struggling with funding and the national athletic trainers association has said that such products come with little to no

independent scientific evidence showing that they actually work the helmet head protection is really the last line of defense. the first thing to do is minimize number of head impacts that kids and other athletes are experiencing. >> one other potential drawback is the way it feels some nfl players saying it makes them feel top-heavy at times. all the research will continue to be done in the push to make the game safer, continues jessica, even if inventions like guardian caps make the game 1% safer, it's a step in the right direction while there's no question, it's still a violent game. all our reporting shows that the game is safer now than it's ever been coy, wire. >> thanks so much for that reporting over the next couple of months, vice president kamala harris will continue her bid for a shot at the white house. but where does she stand on the topics that matter most to voters on monday at two two-hour special for the whole story with anderson cooper will examine five key issues from both candidates out of the november relection. one major

issue, immigration, cnn's audie cornish takes a look at the unique hurdles harris faced in dealing with immigration first, first official trip abroad as vice president, guatemala in june of 2021 she talked about the role of women and economic development. >> there. but harris also delivered a stark message. >> i want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the united states, mexico border do not come do not come the united states will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border sure do not come do not come what was her reaction to how that was received it wasn't real receive coming from the daughter of immigrants and a black woman. so that was a moment in which i think we
