put together showed clearly what occurred during brad brisbin's last moments alive. my goodness. i was saying it's early on a sunday for some reason today it's erlt. we're so glad to have your company. >> 6:00 here on the east coast. this is "new day sunday." and listen, it could be a very rough day across the plains and the midwest. up to 11 million people could be affected by severe weather that's moving through those regions. damaging winds, large hail, tornados possible too. >> there's damaging winds we're seeing in adair, oklahoma as a possible tornado ripped through

that town. those poor folks cleaning up. trees knocked down, businesses damaged. i have to tell you, it's actually not 11 million of us, it's more than 20 million people today. >> wow. we'll get to karen in a moment. let's go to eastern arizona. temperatures will reach above 100 as 500 firefighters battle the flames in the san juan fire. 5,000 acres burned. some residents had to leave their homes. >> and a weekend of wild weather too. it feels like no region was spared. take a look at this. >> watch out for the dangerous weather. in columbus, ohio a lightning strike leaves an off-duty fire department official in critical condition this morning. authorities say the man in his 40s went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated after being hit by lightning at a charity soccer game. in suburban milwaukee, wisconsin, high winds are blamed

for knocking over this huge tree, a jogger was injured when it fell on him. he is in serious condition. and in northeast oklahoma, no reported injuries thankfully, but, look at the damage high winds caused. with debris shredding rooftops, knocking over trees, bending power lines. the severe weather is part of a wider system that's also causing flash flooding and rising river levels across parts of minnesota and it's expected to get worse. >> i've never seen damage this severe and widespread. this is all over the state. >> minnesota's governor toured flood hit areas saturday by boat. he's already declared a state of emergency for 35 counties. but the rain keeps falling, the rivers keep rising, and the water keeps coming. in pryor lake southwest of downtown minneapolis, residents are stacking sandbags five feet high in spots. >> we're sandbagging to try to keep the streets open for the

most part. also protecting a couple houses about ready to go under. and we're trying to sand bag at the end of the cul-de-sac now part of the lake. >> so now to top it off, there's also some news in the tropics. may be a storm brewing off the georgia coast. let's go to karen. we think of you when these come up. >> we need to know. >> all right. well, we've been watching this the last couple days. just kind of had the hint that something tropical would develop. now the national hurricane center says they are going to send hurricane hunters in to take a look at it and see if there's going to be development. we do have ideal conditions, there's not a lot of shear, the water temperatures have warmed up dramatically. it's not affecting these coastal areas except there is going to be a rip current over the next couple of days, just because

this circulation is going to be developing here about a 40% likelihood in the next two days, we could see this possibly turn into tropical storm arthur. and then across the midwest, a big storm. not just from minnesota that you heard so much about over the last several days, but also across the ohio river valley with strong storms, oklahoma, wind gusts as high as 70 miles an hour. but here's the problem today. watch out. between interstate 80, interstate 70, where you've got this moderate risk from des moines to lincoln to omaha, just to the north of kansas city, this is where you could see the potential for tornadic activity. high winds, hail, lightning, and the risk of tornados and minnesota, particularly minneapolis, you have seen almost the all-time record amount of rainfall there, second right now. we've got a couple more days, you have seen in excess of 11 inches. the record was set in 1874.

christi and victor. >> karen, thank you so much. >> a standing ovation. that what is the reaction to a surprising jail house call from justin ross harris. he's the georgia father charged with murder after leaving his 22-month-old toddler in a blistering hot suv. >> harris was not allowed to attend his son's funeral but he did address the crowd by speaker phone from jail. police say harris recently used the internet to search for information about child deaths inside vehicles including what temperature it needs to be for that death to occur. >> cnn has more. good morning. >> the tiny red casket for 22-month-old cooper harris was placed in front of a crowd of hundreds who came to pay respect respect for the toddler who died. under a light rain in tuscaloosa, cooper harris was laid to rest. at funeral service attended by

hundreds. not present, his father, justin ross harris, who is accused of killing the toddler. but he did call in from jail to thank guests for supporting his son and apologized for not being there. while he was on the phone his wife said that she's absolutely not angry at her husband. she called him a wonderful father and said the truth would come out. harris could be heard sobbing over the phone as the crowd inside gave him a standing ovation. saturday new details emerged about the 33-year-old. according to search warrants obtained harris told police, quote, he recently researched through the internet child deaths inside vehicles and what temperature it needs to be for that to occur. the police officer went on to say, quote, justin stated that he was fearful that this could happen. what remains unclear is exactly when that search was done. friends and family say the man police paint as a murderer is not the man they know. >> i want that he would be able to forgive himself. >> family friend carol brown.

>> it seems out of character for ross. i know people change. it's been 15 years or so since we've had contact in the church. so, you know, people change. i -- but -- it's just hard for me to imagine that that is the ross, the sweet ross harris, the sweet little funny boy that we knew. >> a lawyer has instructed harris' family not to speak to the media. those who have spoken off camera say a man with the moral fiber of harris would never be capable of killing his own son. left for seven hours in his father's car under the blistering atlanta sun, cooper harris died. what is unknown is what could have motivated harris as police say to kill his only child. outside the university church of christ, friends and family grieve, as they wait to find out if baby cooper's death was a terrible accident or something more sinister.

justin ross harris is next due in court july 3. victor, christi. >> nick valencia, thank you. >> let's talk about this. i think what people are a little jolted by at this point is the fact that yes, harris told police that he had searched the internet for information about child deaths inside vehicles. yes, he says he searched for how hot it would have to be for that to happen. but he also says he did this because he was fearful that it could happen. >> right. >> is that a solid explanation? >> i think it all depends on the context of what he said and when he said it. let's remember we just heard one small snippet of what was a long conversation between mr. harris and law enforcement. so, perhaps during this interrogation they got him to admit that yes, i know what happens when you leave a child in a hot car, in fact. i researched it because i was concerned about it. you take something like that out of a long interrogation and put it in a warrant it looks a lot more sinister than it may be.

>> what's the significance how far in advance of cooper's death this search occurred? >> obviously the closer in time the less likely it is some sort of coincidence. >> say it was two years ago. is it relevant? >> i don't think so. at that point perhaps as a normal parent, a case was on the news, maybe he was googling it to see gosh, i've done something like this and fortunately nothing happened. i think timing is critical. if it happened a day before, very damaging. if it happened a year before, completely irrelevant. >> okay. what we know more search warrant records are going to come out here. today we expect some, maybe throughout the week. but what evidence would police need to support this child cruelty and felony murder charges? >> obviously they are focusing on that search. what they can tell from looking at the computer is when did he conduct that search, when was it done. as we were discussing, yesterday or last year. they can also look at other search terms that he may have been using at or about the same

time. was he also looking at things relating to law enforcement investigations, computer search warrants. and they can use all of those search terms, that history, to paint a picture as to what he's looking at. >> earlier in the week the cruelty to a child charge was bumped from first degree to a second degree charge. help us explain the importance of that and when we could see maybe charges change again. >> okay. i'm not sure it's really that important. both first-degree and second degree child cruelty charges in georgia are both felonies. either will support a felony murder charge. police they talked to the district attorney's office and said look, we don't have to get first-degree. all we have to prove is that criminal negligence, that you know, he was not being as careful as he should have. now, ultimately it's not the police who will determine what she charged with, it's the district attorney f. he is held in custody, not given a bond

next week, the d.a. has 90 days to take the case to the grand jury and present whatever charges he feels is appropriate. >> how likely do you think he will be released on bond? >> i think very likely. >> thank you so much. >> we just have this in to cnn. seven people were wounded in new orleans after a late night shooting on bourbon street. the victims were taken to a hospital. we don't know much about their conditions but we're learning from officials this happened near popul tourist attractions including preservation hall, pat o'brian's. not the first time we've reported these mass shootings here on bourbon street. again, we are just getting this in. seven shot in new orleans. also more sad news to tell you about this morning. veteran actor meshach taylor died. >> he is remembered for his role as anthony bouvier on "designing

mosul. also they have got now five new russian warplanes. but this is not a traditional enemy. what would be most effective to take down isis? >> well, clearly, you're doing what you can, victor, with the su-24s and the high 35s and so forth from the russians. you have to catch them in the open. clearly, with the assault that the iraqi security forces are making in tikrit suggest that they are willing to take it to a new dimension, something they haven't done very effectively thus far, that is to go after them within the build-up areas. so, we'll have to wait and see whether or not they can be effective. they have a lot of help with militias, they have volunteers that perhaps aren't well-trained. but having the air dimension is very critical to what they are doing. it will constrain the movement of isil across those vast areas where there's not a lot of

protection. >> you just mentioned tikrit and we're getting conflicting information about who is in control there. and you talk about militias and these tribes that be getting involved now. how difficult is it to decipher and discern who is winning in these areas? >> yeah, it is very difficult, christi. good question. the reality is you do have a lot of sunnis in tikrit being of assistance to the iraqi central government, because they understand isil is not going to be terribly good to them. so, they are aligning themselves with baghdad out of desperation. but trying to sort out what's going on on the ground, we won't know for days if in fact the battle continues. we do now from reports that special forces from the iraqi security forces are inside the city. they are trying to do the type of fighting that's critical to chase isil out. isil is not deep in terms of its

rank so it's going to use an economy of force to move around to areas where they can take advantage. and i'm fearful that they will do some of the same things they have done in the past, that is execute people, they may even you know, divert the flow of the dammed to the north, 120 miles northwest of baghdad which of course could not only slow isil but also could deprive the south of fresh water, which would be a humanitarian disaster. >> let me ask you about this growing humanitarian crisis, and the flood of refugees, kurdishle officials are tightening down or tightening their border crossings. what does this mean for not only the conflict but all the people who are trying to escape the conflict? >> as you noted, in the lead-up victor, that the bombing of

mosul has pushed a lot of refugees out of there. fear, desperation, and yet the kurds who are trying to become really more autonomous and kind of push back, they don't want to be engaged with isil either. so using their militia which is very well trained and well equipped, they are going to try to slow this. and yet, you know, where do you go as a refugee? the land is unforgiving, so we really do have a humanitarian disaster in the make, not only along the kurdish border with mosul and tikrit all the way, the entire arab province, but then of course the water issue. i'm very concerned about that because i think that that could create such a cataclysmic issue for the iraqi people that no telling what could happen after

that. >> all right. lieutenant colonel bob maginnis, thank you for taking the time to be with us this morning. >> thank you. so, is team usa really partly team germany? we'll take a look at the surprising reason there are so many germans on the world cup national team. and what the military has to do with it. live in the same communities that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we're using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliable, that's good for business. but they also reduce emissions, and that's good for everyone. it makes me feel very good about the future of our company. ♪ thank ythank you for defendiyour sacrifice. and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy.

also breaking overnight seven people were wounded in new orleans after a late night shooting on bourbon street. our affiliate reports an eye witness said a shooter intentionally shot one victim, then opened fire in the crowd. this morning we know one of the victims is listed in critical condition, the other six are in stable. that shooting happened near popular tourist attractions including preservation hall and pat o'brian's. >> alleged master mind of the benghazi attack pled not guilty in a brief appearance in federal court. standing before the court with long graying hair and a beard, ahmed abu khattala only spoke once whispering his name. so far khattala has been charged with one count of providing material support to terrorists. but additional charges are expected ones that could bring the death penalty. khattala is back in court this week. sad news to mapass on. actor me sack taylor has died.

injured an off-duty fireman. he went into cardiac arrest after being struck at a charity soccer game. >> in milwaukee, wisconsin high winds knocked over this huge tree into an area there, a jogger was hit. he is in serious condition. >> so add to that the fact that we're into hurricane season now. and we're talking about tropical weather off the georgia coast. >> it's not what we want to hear. karen maginnis, could this be developing into something we need to worry about? >> it could develop into something and you know, the hurricane season officially started june 1st, and we've been watching this area of disturbed weather off the coast of the carolinas for the last couple days, didn't look like a lot and the computer models were differing as to what they thought would happen with this. but now the national hurricane center says we've got about a 40% chance or a medium chance in the next two days, that this could become tropical storm arthur. it would be the first of the

season. certainly the environment is conducive for further development. but we have three different items to tell you about for today. that is what could happen with this area of low pressure off the coastal carolina region, could see some rip currents there. another cluster of thunderstorms across the midwest, and right around memphis this morning, we are seeing torrential downpours. let's take you first of all along interstate 70 in through kansas. and nebraska. this particular cell right here, that has moved across russell springs, and in that area they are seeing baseball-sized hail and potential for tornados. certainly in the past hour or so. now we've got severe thunderstorm warnings issued for that region. but i mentioned this because all day today we are looking at about 20 million people that have the risk for severe weather for this afternoon. and in memphis, right now you are seeing thunderstorms.

they are saying parts of memphis between 12 and 18 inches of rainfall. cars have stalled out. we had an unconfirmed report that an apartment building had several feet of water in it. the rain is coming down so quickly it's being measured in inches per hour. right now there's a flash flood warning out for the memphis area. but this area is also a region where the ground is absolutely saturated. they can't take anymore wet weather. the midwest, we have seen for weeks now the ground saturated there as well. most notably in minneapolis where a number of areas, they have sandbagging, neighbor helping neighbor. but for today, the risk of that severe weather is going to be from des moines to omaha to lincoln to just north of kansas city. watch out, there are about 3 million people in this moderate risk. when we say moderate risk, hail, high winds, heavy downpours, the potential for tornadic activity.

those are the items we're looking for today across the midwest, among those other things victor and christi, we've been talking about this morning, we'll stay on top of it for you. >> karen maginnis, thank you. speaking of other things, did you hear about this 5.2 earthquake that rocked southeastern arizona last night. it hit around 1:00 a.m. eastern near the new mexico border. the epicenter about 30 miles northwest of lordsburg. tremors were felt from phoenix all the way to el paso, texas. thankfully no reports of injuries or serious damage. >> crisis in iraq, it's worsening. the carnage is not letting up. the iraqi military has powerful new rweapons to use. more airstrikes, these are aimed at gaza. why it targeted two men who died in this latest attack. she keeps you on your toes.

powerful new weapons in the battle against isis. >> five russian fighter jets are in iraq, the first of 25 planes due to be delivered. >> officials in the kurdish region have put tight restrictions on border crossings. this move comes as desperate families are trying to flee the airstrikes in mosul and raises fears. >> joining us is the an assistant professor of international affairs at georgia tech. good to have you back here. >> thank you. >> we're talking so much about the sunnis and the shia. what are we learning about the strength of the kurds and this latest move? >> i think this really shows

that they are really trying to establish an independent kurdistan. last week the president indicated that this is what they were trying to do. have an independent state. i think securing the border shows that it's a clear signal of that. i think it also shows that they want to establish a clear buffer in order to be able to secure themselves from further isis attacks. i think turkey probably sees this as a successful way to establish a buffer between turkey and isis as well. >> insulation there. >> yeah. absolutely right. sorry. >> that's okay. i know you spent considerable amount of time studying isis, a lot of people wonder how did they build this capability? >> the amount of strength they have. in syria they were able to amass a huge amount of resources. they captured syrian gas and oil fields which they were reselling back to the assad regime. they were involved in looting

and criminal activities. material resources is really what they need to launch an effective campaign, allows them to have effective insurgency. in mosul i think they got $450,000 from the central bank. and they have money coming in every day. this is what's allowed them and i think another in addition to the material resources, are just having support from sunnis on the ground who feel alienated by the maliki regime. >> you talked about resources. i want to talk about the resources they are cutting off because we were talking for the first weeks of this, this constant steady march toward baghdad, heading south. but from the south now it appears they are not making it there. doing this belt of baghdad. cutting off the river, cutting off the road. is that an effective way to essentially de facto take baghdad? >> yeah, they are really trying to secure areas to the south of baghdad, different smaller cities.

i think they are unlikely to get baghdad. i think there's going to abhard long bloody fight if, you know, if the fight goes into baghdad. so i think it's unlikely. very unlikely they are going to be able to. i feel, to really take baghdad in a significant way. and also with tikrit, if they do lose control of tikrit they lose an important means to go between the cities in the north and mossle down to baghdad. >> one of our guests yesterday said isis is doing what they do best killing people but they are not good at governing. so is that their weakness, where they might start to fall apart? >> i think that's where they will lose support. their tactics which are so brutal killing civilians, beheadings, mass killings, this is going to alienate "people." the way they want to set up wet so a harsh interpretation of islamic law is going to alienate many sunnis who don't share

their doctrine and view of how the state should operate. >> this is continuing to develop. it's day by day but hour by hour in this situation. >> really is. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> israeli airstrike has killed two men in gaza city. israel's military says the strike targeted people in recent rocket attacks against israel. officials say the men were involved in several terror attacks over the past few years and planning more. palestinian sources said the men were affiliated with a radical islamist group. >> north korea we learned fired what appear to be two short range missiles. the official government news agency released this picture, no date, secret location, shows north korean leader kim jong-un inspecting the process. the south korean defense ministry confirms two project

tiles were launched. >> the oscar pistorius murder trial is scheduled to resume tomorrow. court proceedings were adjourned to allow the paralympian to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. the results will be presented in court. pistorius says he mistook his girlfriend for an intruder when he shot and killed her in his apartment last year. >> and muslims are observing the holy month of ramadan, which begins today, celebrated with prayer and fasting from food and drink during daylight hours. >> it's marked by spiritual discipline and gratitude to god. muslims believe it was this month the verses of the koran were revealed. >> a hot topic about to come to a head. >> the supreme court -- supreme

court is expected to release a decision on a controversial birth control measure, the ruling could affect millions. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs.

when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. i quit smoking with chantix. before chantix, i tried to quit... probably about five times. it was different than the other times i tried to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking. some people had changes in behavior,

thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. my quit date was my son's birthday. and that was my gift for him and me. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

president obama is vowing action on the economy. accusing republicans of blocking his efforts. the president took time during his weekly address to admonish conservatives and say he is ready to move forward without them. >> the point is we could do so much more as a country, as a strong tight knit family, if republicans in congress were less interested in stacking the deck for those at the top or obstructing me and more interested in growing the economy for everybody. i'm going to spend time talking about these very choices in the weeks ahead. that's because we know from our

history that our economy does not grow from the top down, it grows from the middle out. we do better when the middle class does better. that's the american way. that's what i believe in. and that's what i'll keep fighting for. >> the president will continue his economy message this week delivering marks at a washington park tuesday and meeting with top economists. nancy pelosi toured a u.s. border patrol station in brownsville, texas getting a look at the flood of illegal imgrants from mexico and central america. >> many of them are children traveling alone. 52,000 of them have been rounded up since october. the president is asking congress for $2 billion to deal with this problem. all eyes will be on the supreme court tomorrow. it will announce its ruling in a case playing a key role in obamacare. the hobby lobby craft store chain objected to requirement that insurance plans cover contraception. the owners argued it would force

belgium's roster based on salary one of the highest paid in the world cup. america's coach, jurgen klinsmann says we can take on any one and beat them. >> we are very familiar with this very strong team. it's one of kind of the secret favorites in this world cup because of the players, individual players that they have. but we have absolutely no fear at all. we feel like you know, we are in a position now to challenge it. >> two amazing games, the host nation brazil lucky to be advancing. namar, their biggest star, the goal in shoot-out. this game was tied into a shoot-out. chile had the opportunity to equalize it here but they, in brazil, thank the post for helping them win. total celebration. they are going to play colombia.
