and the enemy are the terrorists who do not believe in what we do, open societies and freedom, who are out to kill plain innocent people and we have to understand -- >> it is a war. >> -- that this is a sustained effort. high winds and heat fueling massive wildfires in northern california, entire communities laid waste, lives lost. also ahead, israel releases a palestinian teenager jailed for slapping a soldier. we'll tell you what she had to say. also inside the fight against a renewed gold rush in alaska. we'll have the details straight ahead. these stories and much more ahead this hour. we're live in atlanta, i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george howell. from cnn world headquarters, "newsroom" starts right now.
1:01 am
we begin in northern california, thank you for joining us. more lives have been lost from that fast moving wildfire. it has killed at least five people including two children and their great grandmother. president trump declared an emergency in california to allow federal assistance. >> police in that area say they haven't seen anything like this before. the fire so devastating, many people had to evacuate, even prompting a local tv station to pull the plug for safety. >> right now we're being evacuated. that's where we are kind of closing out right now. we are going to leave the station because it is now unsafe to be here. >> you can't believe this is happening in your community. >> that house is my whole life. there is just one thing that is in that house that is not replaceable to me and it sounds silly, but it is a car i had since i was 17. it was my first car. if it gets destroyed, there is no replacing that. >> we didn't think the fire was
1:02 am
going to come here. we didn't really take things out. like everybody else that was scrambling at the last minute to get out when we saw the fire on the ridge. >> to this point, the fire has consumed more than 80,000 acres. that's about 33,000 hectares carving a path of destruction that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. dan simon reports. >> reporter: we now have the first confirmed civilian deaths associated with this fire. 70-year-old melody bledsoe and her two great grandchildren, 5-year-old emily roberts and her brother, 4-year-old james roberts. they were in a house and were unable to leave as the flames raced through their neighborhood. we're told by a family member that bledsoe called her husband at work to say the fire was getting close and he needed to come back as soon as he could. that was the last anyone had ever heard from them. the family checked hospitals, they checked evacuation centers and then late this afternoon, they got word that the bodies had been recovered.
1:03 am
in the meantime, you can see where we are, this is called the keswick estate subdivision. you can see that nothing has left. whole neighborhoods have disappeared as a result of this fire. and unfortunately in terms of the outlook over the next few days, things do not appear to be getting better. this fire is just 5% contained. and the weather remains hot. triple digit temperatures today and over the next several days. humidity is low. at night, the wind really gets going and so firefighters fear that there could be more destruction. dan simon, cnn, keswick, california. brian rice is president of california professional firefighters. he joins us via skype from santa cruz. thank you for joining us. we know this is a terrifically tense and troubling time for the people you represent. thank you so much. i was reading something that you said about how intense these fires are. and we have some video that you
1:04 am
provided that shows a structure going up in flames. and you can appreciate what these fires are bringing to this region. what is the latest that you can tell us as we look at this video? >> we know that the fire made a very strong and erratic push thursday night and then into friday, the pictures that you're looking at are taking -- were taken during that time period, you're seeing a lot of different things from accessing the area, either behind the fire or ahead of the fire and then also, you know, some of the homes and the buildings, the standing fuels that are going. you'll see also in there, you can see just how much blowing embers and ash there is and what a problem that causes for spotting. i think a viewer can get a sense of the tremendous amount of heat that the firefighters are
1:05 am
facing, not just the temperatures, the daytime temperatures in the redding area are in excess of 105 and closer to 110 degrees. and it -- that is taxing to the firefighters. let alone the heat that the fire generates and all that plays into the fire behavior and i talked to many veteran firefighters in the wildland arena and heard almost verbatim from every one of them that the fire behave yoior that they witnessed and experienced on thursday evening into friday morning, they had never seen before. and these are men and women that have many, many years of experience and training under their belts. >> climate change is making an impact. i was reading hear since 2012 there has not been a month without a wildfire burning in the state and the governor has called this a new normal. this is a completely different situation that anyone is trained
1:06 am
for. i know we have more video that you have also supplied to us to show firefighters going down a highway, you see flames on both sides of the highway. the question is, how do you sustain this? how do these brave men and women work in these conditions and, you know, we're looking at a huge swath of the state. these aren't just small pockets. >> no, no, they're not, natalie. in fact there is two other fires in the mendocino area and lake county areas that have just sparked up today that are causing a lot of concern, but the video you're seeing, what you're -- those are highly trained men and women, the equipment that they have, both the personal protective gear and the fire apparatus are -- it is all designed to accomplish one goal and that is to suppress the fire and protect our water shed and protect our citizens. and i can tell you that if you
1:07 am
and i were caught out on that road that we're watching, the firefighters working through, and it was you and i, we were trying to escape, our chances of surviving would be very little. >> it is terrifying to think that there are actually people working in these conditions and driving through these conditions. in fact, i have a quote here from the redding police chief that says this fire is scary to us, this is something we haven't seen before in the city. and i just have to say, our thoughts are with all of the people that are working in this situation. unprecedented times. and situations that no one could actually be prepared for, but they certainly are brave and i know the people there in california appreciate their work so much. brian rice, we thank you so much for your time and we hopefully will talk with you again and hopefully things will get better before they get worse. thank you. >> thank you, natalie. good night. >> natalie, to your point, the video, the images terrifying to
1:08 am
see. you can only imagine what it is like for the people dealing with it. our meteorologist derek van dam here to tell us about the fire and, of course, the conditions around it. >> unfortunately weather is coming together to create this almost recipe for disaster for these fires to continue to spread. we have got temperatures in the triple digits. we have got gusty winds, especially on those ridge tops. we have a drought that is intensifying. and there is no chances of rain today or anytime in the future. so we have got a difficult situation going forward to say the least. here is the latest, the car fire, we keep focusing on this one, because it is over 83,000 acres that have been burned, 5% containment, newest fire stats to cnn from ferguson and cranston fire, they're gaining some ground, that's good news. our hats -- we tip our hats to the firefighters, the volunteers and the professionals there, because, wow, they're working so hard. here is what it looks like from a plane. this is the 30,000 foot billow
1:09 am
of smoke sent into the sky from the car fire in around redding. you see it from space as well. satellite imagery picking up on the smoke and cloud as well. you heard the firefighter a moment ago on that interview with natalie about the spotting. and this is a term they use because we get strong winds that take the embers from the tops of the hillsides and throw them several hundred feet in advance of the fire. that's how new fires start. it is not only that, but it is also phenomenons like this. this is called a firenado or fire whirl or fire vortex, all the same, interchangeable. look how it is picking up individual embers and tossing them across the street. you can imagine that is starting new fires well in advance of that fire. how does this form? we get rising air from very intense heat from fires. that air needs to be replaced. with that replacement of air
1:10 am
causes vortices, swirling motions. with the fire already in place, it starts to suck this up into the sky and looks like a tornado. it picks up the embers and creates the spot fires. and therefore our fires continue to spread. this is the forecast for redding. look at the triple digit heat, absolutely no rainfall, timber dry across this region and equally as hot across the entire western u.s. as we speak. the erratic winds continue. this is the recipe for disaster. this is the perfect storm for fire conditions, extreme heat continues, and while you can see the national weather service continues to issue red flag warnings in and around shasta county, on top of that, this is also creating a pollution risk as well across the sacramento valley, it captures a lot of the smoke and haze into the sky. >> all right, derek, we'll stay in touch with you. >> thank you, derek. another story we're following, ten people were killed when a strong earthquake
1:11 am
struck an indonesian island east of bali, not far from a volcano. dozens were injured including some of the people seen in this video. right now rescue teams are searching for survivors. the magnitude 6.4 quake caused significant damage. tourists and residents in bali say they felt the shaking, no tsunami advisories, we're happy to say, were advised. the latest on tropical storm that has hit japan, threatening areas that were marked by deadly flooding. just a few weeks ago. the storm was downgraded from typhoon status after it made landfall on saturday, still, though, some 37,000 residents in hiroshima prefecture have been ordered to get to safe locations, this because of concerns about landslides and river flooding. still ahead, russia showing off military mite, but what message is moscow sending with its military spectacle? we'll look into it. also, recently a high profile palestinian prisoner, a

1:16 am
new developments in the case of ahed tamimi. she was jailed late last year after being filmed kicking and slapping an israeli soldier. the 17-year-old palestinian has been released from an israeli prison and is back in her village in the west bank. >> let's get more on this from cnn's oren lieberman who joins us live from jerusalem. she became a symbol for the palestinian cause after her arrest. tell us about her release and what she's had to say. >> reporter: a symbol and a hero, i would say. it seems her legend has grown since that arrest and since she became famous in 2012 when a picture emerged of her holding up a fist to an israeli soldier. she was released early this morning from a prison in central israel after serving eight months in prison. in march, she pleaded guilty in a plea deal to charges of incitement and disrupting a soldier. eight of the 12 charges against her were dropped in a case her lawyer said had much more to do
1:17 am
with politics than with actual legal issues. she was taken from that prison, through a west bank crossing to her village where she very much got a hero's welcome. dozens of her supporters surrounded her, just as many members of the media it seems, supporters waving the palestinian flag and flags, chanting slogans in support of her. and then she made a very short statement, she said, from our home the resistance is continuing until the end of the occupation. she said a few more words and then urged everyone to come to a scheduled press conference she has for a little later on this afternoon. after making that short stop in her village, she went to ramallah, the presidential compound, and visited the grave of palestinian leader yasser arafat to pay her respects. soon we expect her to be back on her way to the village where she will make those remarks. >> interesting to see what she has to say after this time. israel certainly got criticized for its treatment and arrest of a minor.
1:18 am
has the government had anything to say about her release? >> reporter: israel faced tremendous criticism, this case was very much a lightning rod for criticism of the israeli military, the military court system and its handling of palestinian youth. there were statements back during her arrest when the defense minister had said those who go wild during the day will be arrested at night. he very much supported the actions of the israeli soldiers and her arrest. it is worth noting that the incident itself happened a few hours after another israeli soldier had shot her cousin in the face with a rubber bullet, severely injuring him. since then, since the plea deal in march, and now, we haven't heard nearly as much from israeli officials. we'll see if they make statements today. we'll report them. as of right now israel would like this case to go away quickly and quietly, but by the looks of it it is not going to do. >> don't think so. she was there with her mother and father who have been with her throughout this ordeal.
1:19 am
as you say, she'll be holding a news conference, we'll wait and see what else she has to say. oren lieberman covering it for us, thank you. russia is putting on a show of its military strength and the spectacle has geopolitical significance. moscow is kicking off the international army games and its navy day, a public holiday in russia. >> moments ago, we saw president vladimir putin inspecting some of russia's newest equipment designed to challenge the u.s. and nato. the showcase also serves as an international reminder of who russia's allies are. let's talk more about that with cnn senior international correspondent fred pleitgen following the story by phone now from st. petersburg. a very important show of force, what does it mean for the domestic audience there in russia and also for people outside of russia, which audience is being targeted outside the borders? >> i'm across from vladimir putin, he's speaking now.
1:20 am
this has big significance both here for the russian audience and as you stated and also audiences abroad, specifically western countries as well. one of the things that we have been seeing over the past couple of weeks, we have seen that better relationship between president trump and president putin talking about the disarmament, nuclear disarmament, better relations between the two countries, u.s. and russia. we keep that -- especially in the u.s., there are a lot of people who are very averse to that. one thing that -- with those army games and especially today, what we're seeing here right now, with naval display of force, they're saying, look, you can have better relations with us, you have to understand we are still a very strong military force. the russians have been spending a lot of time and money over the last couple of years, upgrading their forces, especially their navy. certainly something they're putting on display here. if you look at the new things they're going to be playing here after these games, they have a
1:21 am
stealth frigate inspected by vladimir putin, they have a submarine called the carrier killer designed to destroy, especially, of course, aircraft carrier, the russians are saying on the one hand, they want better relations, but on the other hand, they're saying their forces are being upgraded all the time. >> fret pleitgen on the phone with us. as you look at vladimir putin, talking about russia's military mite, fred pleitgen following the story, tell us more about one piece that is certainly missing this time, we're seeing a lot of things on display, but notably one thing not part of the lineup. >> yeah. look, absolutely right. that is something that is very important here. one thing that the russian president of course has been saying over the past couple of days, past couple of weeks, he
1:22 am
wants better relations with the united states. that's something the russians are focussing on. he was speaking about -- we hear the russian troops cheering on vladimir putin after his speech, talking about how they want better relations, president trump to come to russia. of course, it is something that the russians think is very, very difficult in the current political climate in the u.s. and russia as well. we have a cannon salute going on after vladimir putin gave his speech. >> following this story live, as you're looking at live images there in st. petersburg, russia, russia showing off its military force. within the country, people watching there. and the world watching as well. thank you for the reporting. want to turn to pakistan now. it looks more and more like imran khan will be the next prime minister. election officials say his movement for justice party won
1:23 am
the most seats in wednesday's general election. khan declared victory days ago, but he doesn't have an outright majority. he will need allies to form a coalition and that could be tricky. >> khan is a national hero from his cricket days, but many of his rivals say the vote was fixed. that's in part because he is viewed as the military's favorite candidate. nick paton walsh has more on khan from islamabad. >> reporter: an historic sight, imran khan is close to becoming pakistan's new prime minister. after a bitterly fought election that turned pakistan's tightly controlled political order and casting the sporting icon as a sometimes anti-american force for change. born into a wealthy family, khan soon discovered his gift as a
1:24 am
fast bowler, leaving pakistan to its first and only cricket world cup victory in 1992. and khan to become a national hero in a country where cricket is always worshipped and politicians often reviled. he retired from the sport, and after a spell as international playboy, he married his first wife, wealthy london socialist jumana khan. a family man, he raised money for charities, building a cancer hospital in his home city. but back in the turmoil, injustice of '90s pakistan, his political ambitions grew. founding a new party, the pakistan movement for justice, his central pitch, to end corruption among the country's ruling elite. pakistani politics has few empires or rules, though, and is often marred by violence and coups. he was briefly arrested in 2007 for criticizing pervez musharraf. a month later, a political rival, former prime minister
1:25 am
benazir bhutto was assassinated on the campaign trail. still, khan kept his sights on the premiership, by 2013, he could marshal huge crowds and win the vote in one pakistani province. he remained a distant third, however, nationwide. his conservatism grew as well. religious, panning american interference and favoring pakistan's drastic and sometimes brutal blasphemy laws. this year, he wrote a populist wave, promising to fight for equality and get tough on terror. his vision, he says, is for a new pakistan. what that means, his critics don't know. >> not clear what he wants to do. he wants to change the system. but nobody knows exactly what kind of change would he bring? >> reporter: his supporters think any change is good.
1:26 am
>> translator: we are supporting imran khan because he promised to stop corruption in pakistan. we are hopeful we will have a better future and our children will have a better future. >> translator: this is the first time anyone treated us as human beings, we have rights too. we need medicine and education and other things. >> reporter: this is the first, he'll need to form a stable government, handle a looming economic crisis and navigate the powerful army who decide the winners in pakistani politics and may still be unsure about this charismatic reformist outsider. nick paton walsh, cnn, islama d islamabad. coming up on "cnn newsroom," long time confidant of president trump michael cohen has made a clean break from his old boss, it seems. we'll discuss why he's doing it and what risk he might pose to the president coming up. a new oil russia in alaska spurred along by the trump administration is threatening thousands of acres of unspoiled

1:31 am
from a volcano. the magnitude 6.4 tremor caused significant damage, we're told, but no tsunami advisories have been issued. a 17-year-old palestinian known for confronting israeli troops has been released from prison. ahed tamimi returned to her west bank village earlier. she was jailed last year after she was filmed kicking and slapping an israeli soldier. the dramatic falling out between the u.s. president donald trump and his long time attorney michael cohen, it now appears irreversible. one of mr. trump's lawyers rudy giuliani says the president's legal team and cohen's legal team, they have stopped sharing information. that includes documents and witness interviews. >> cnn's tom foreman takes a closer look at the epic meltdown of a relationship that seemed rock solid just a short time ago. >> reporter: donald trump's defender. >> you guys are down, and it makes -- >> says who?
1:32 am
>> polls. >> says who? >> most of them, all of them? >> reporter: his trusted adviser. >> the words the media should be using to describe mr. trump are generous, compassionate. >> reporter: and most of all his lawyer. >> my job is i protect mr. trump. that's what it is. if there is an issue that relates to mr. trump, that is of concern to him, it is, of course, concern to me. >> reporter: michael cohen has been all that to donald trump and trump has returned the favor with an extremely rare close relationship. >> it was much more than an attorney/client relationship. it was certainly -- it was something much deeper, almost father and son kind of thing. donald trump knew that michael always had his back. >> reporter: the two native new yorkers joined forces about a dozen years ago when cohen bought a condo in a trump building. and by most accounts they bonded quickly over their shared values and sharp elbows. soon, cohen was handling real estate deals, helping run some companies and even coordinating
1:33 am
transportation for trump. >> they say mr. trump's pitfall, that i am his -- i'm his right-hand man. >> reporter: when trump's campaign lit up -- >> why did michael cohen make -- >> you have to ask michael cohen. michael is my attorney, and you'll have to ask michael. >> reporter: as the russia investigation tightened, cohen famously told vanity fair last year, i'm the guy who would take a bullet for the president. then came april. >> breaking news, the fbi told raided the offices of president trump's long time attorney, michael cohen. >> reporter: the president erupted. >> they say an attack on our country in a true sense. >> reporter: while he shouted witch-hunt, cohen has since gone another way, telling abc, i don't agree with those who demonize or vilify the fbi.
1:34 am
i will not be a punching bag in anyone's defense strategy. and now i put family and country first. for his part, president trump who used to routinely and warmly talk about michael cohen, now seems to not be saying his name publicly at all. but alone, nice things about him. tom foreman, cnn, washington. let's talk about this now with steven irlinger, the chief diplomat correspondent for "the new york times" live from brussels belgium, a pleasure to have you on the show as always. we'll start with the president's attorney, rudy giuliani. he's taking the lead now for president trump in trying to control the message around michael cohen and any evidence that he might bring to bear. compare giuliani's words in the past about cohen to what he has to say now. let's listen. >> he doesn't have any incriminating evidence about the president or himself. the man is an honest, honorable
1:35 am
lawyer, i expected something like this from cohen. he's been lying all week. for two weeks. lying for years. >> all right, so now giuliani questioning cohen's credibility. it is a message of contradiction to say the least. who is one to believe in this case more? >> well, that's very hard to say. in some degree depends who is in most trouble. they're both in kind of warm water, one of them boiling, one of them is not yet. so we'll see what happens if giuliani gets into trouble too. michael cohen, you know, was important for trump. i'm not sure how important he actually was. he sort of took care of a lot of so-called dirty business. but he had his own business on the side. and this is, you know what -- we have two investigations going for us, one is by robert mueller, into the possibility of collusion between the trump
1:36 am
campaign and russia. but then we also have manhattan prosecutorial investigation into michael cohen and allegations of business fraud and malpractice. the problem is, this crosses lines. trump always used to say, if the mueller investigation started looking into his private business, that was the big red line for trump. this isn't mueller exactly. this is the manhattan prosecutors following its own trail. so it is difficult moments for mr. trump and the white house. rudy giuliani is trying to defend him as best he can, that's what lawyers do. they'll spin stories, you see better call saul, better call rudy, the same issue. >> steven, you also talk about these investigations crossing lines. let's talk more about that. we heard cohen's claim that mr. trump knew in advance about that meeting with russians, the
1:37 am
president responded on twitter, he said he didn't know about the meeting with his son, don jr. involved, that he attended. but if cohen's claim is true, and these investigations crossing, right, does this point to possible collusion? >> well, it does. that's why trump is so nervous about it. and, again, it is very hard to gauge. michael cohen is in trouble, right? michael cohen is trying to defend himself, and he was the sort of lawyer who knew how to pull butteons and press media buttons and so does his lawyer, lani davis, who worked for on bill clinton. they're pressing every button they can, including social media, television, the press, to try to defend michael cohen. one of the things that gets cohen attention is this charge now. is it true? i don't know. we'll have to see.
1:38 am
but it is certainly does put mr. trump closer into the gun sights of a collusion investigation. our assumption has sort of been while his son donald trump jr. was involved in this meeting, it wasn't clear that donald trump himself was involved or engaged in the meeting itself. we heard various different accounts of what actually went on there. but there is no question donald trump jr. was really interested in dirt on hillary clinton, that he made clear in e-mails that have gone public. but the president himself has so far not been touched by this. >> steven irlinger with perspective today, live in brussels, belgium, thank you for your time. >> thank you, george. coming up here, authorities blame increased crime in london on a new form of rap music. and we'll tell you why they're trying to curb drill music

welcome back. we are getting more views of the blood moon lunar eclipse which millions of people saw around the world. >> we didn't get to see it in the u.s. one photographer captured thighs unique images in athens on friday, using statues from greek mythology. >> the moon was in total eclipse for 103 minutes, the longest of the century. speaking of beauty, the alaskan wilderness is one of the last unspoiled places in the world, but that could change very soon as alaska's refuge is facing off with the trump administration. >> bill weir takes us there. >> reporter: this is magnificent, wow. way up at the tip-top of alaska, an airplane can feel like a time machine. >> see it there.

a bunch of little babies running around. >> reporter: because the arctic national wildlife refuge, known as anwar, is the kind of pure wilderness most of america paved over long ago. >> this is it. we're in the heart. >> reporter: welcome to one of the last true wild places on earth. it brims with life from oxen to bears, both grizzly and polar. birds that migrate to the backyards of all 50 states. but the most common creature is the caribou. and not just a few, but hundreds of thousands, the kind of herd unseen since the plains buffalo were wiped away. and when flooring is here with his family, he can't help but wonder how long it will last. >> do we need to keep them these
1:52 am
places untouched. we're changing the world everywhere so fast, why not leave a few places unspoiled? >> reporter: for almost 60 years that was the rational that protected anwar from this, these are the oil fields of prudo bay, that fill the famous pipeline and power countless lives. but, since there are billions of barrels elsewhere, nature lovers have long argued there is no need to drill here. and for decades that argument held until -- >> one day a friend of mine in the office said, is it true that you have anwar in the bill? i said, i don't know, who cares what is that? he said, reagan tried, every single president tried. i said, you got to be kidding, i love it now, and then we fought like hell to get anwar. >> reporter: it was opened to drilling thanks to lisa murkowski, who slipped in the provision knowing it would only need 51 instead of 60 votes to

pass. >> it is wrong for those from the outside looking in who have taken a nice trip into an area and said, this must be protected. >> reporter: conservationists point out there is already a huge glut of american oil. oil companies are laying people off up here, because prices are so low. >> oil companies have been laying people off, and, you know, for the first time in the last five years, i was seeing more oil company workers leaving the state of alaska and going to places like north dakota than coming into this state. >> reporter: but much like trump's efforts to revive dying coal mines, the rush to drill here seems more by politics than economics. former speaker of the house tom delay said if we can drill in anwar, it will break the back of the environmental lobby. >> they haven't drilled in anwar yet. >> we know the arctic regions are heating twice as fast as any

other part of the world, and it makes zero sense to come here and look for more oil, that's going to exacerbate that problem. >> reporter: among those opposed is the northern most tribe of native americans. how many people live here? >> about 150 year round. >> reporter: i think 150 people live on my floor at my apartment building. their numbers may be tiny, but definitely not outsiders. >> archaeological evidence shows we have been here over 25,000 years. >> reporter: and the only reason they survived is caribou. back in the day, they would trap the animals in these handmade corrals. these days they use guns and snowmobiles, but still need the animals to survive in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in america. groceries at the midnight sun it cost twice as much as the whole foods in manhattan. gasoline up here runs $10 a gallon. but still, given the choice between oil money and caribou,
