♪ ♪ hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom," and i'm rosemary church. just ahead -- italian fans rejoice after a nail biting euro 2020 final against england. but there's an ugly side to the monumental match. england's football association condemning online racism directed at several of the national team's stars.

we are live in london and rome with details. thousand of protestors rally in cuba. a rare display of anger over lack of freedoms and a failing economy further damaged by the pandemic. ♪ ♪ good to have you with us. so italy's conquering heroes are set to meet with the prime minister today to celebrate their dramatic win in the euro 2020 final. euphoria erupted on the streets of rome with the end of sunday's match at wembley. [ cheers ] the street party stretched well into the night after fans gathered to watch italy hand england a heartbreaking defeat. the teams stood level at the end of extra time. italy winning a penalty shootout

3-2. "cnn world sport" was there and our alex thomas joins us live from london. good to see you, alex. a thrilling win for italy, a crushing defeat for england. talk us through the highlights of the game and how they got there. >> reporter: before i get to the action, rosemary, it's worth underlining what a huge national event this was here in the uk. strained situation here where you have wales, scotland and northern island part of a unified nation, but people in those countries probably cheering for the other side. england have very strong and passionate and faithful supporters, but don't always attract the support of the neutral fan. but it was quite a carnival atmosphere here at wembley for most of sunday. tens of thousands on wembley way or olympic way, just down on street level behind me here.

many without tickets, just turned up to enjoy the atmosphere. the kickoff wasn't until 8:00 p.m. at night local time. so the closer we got, the more the behavior fans got maybe over the edge of what is acceptable, possibly fueled by too much alcohol. it led for an incredible atmosphere by the time kickoff came about. and possibly that affected the italy team. england felt buoyed by it, got off to an amazing score, scoring as early as the third minute of the game. it took a long time for italy to work back, equalizing in the second half. it went to half an hour of extra time, and then the dreaded penalty shootout that's decide sod many major football matches. and this time it was england on the wrong end of that penalty shootout. three england players missing

their spot kicks in succession, meaning italy were crowned champions of europe for the second time in their history, and the first time since 1968. a fairy tale run for them, rosemary, because they failed to qualify for the world cup in 2018 in russia. and they've been rebuilt under coach roberto manchini. they did not concede a single goal, beating belgium along the way, spain, who have been double european champions in the last decade or so. and world champions, as well. so certainly worthy winners. misery for england again who still only have that one major football title to their name back in 1966, 55 years of waiting for another one. and that wait goes on for england. the other thing was the racial

abuse online suffered by some of those england players that you mentioned. strongly condemned in all quarters, and it goes against everything this team stands for. this scourge of the game needs to be stamped out. >> hopefully there will be ramifications. we'll talk more about this just ahead. but alex thomas joining us live from london, bringing us the highlights of the game. we appreciate it. thank you. we're also tracking developments off the field and fan reaction. so let's bring in our cnn contributors in london and rome. so italian fans, thrilled, of course, with the outcome. what a success story. so tell us what the fans have been telling you. >> reporter: if you look at every single newspaper in italy today, it looks like something like this. it says, it's ours.

these fans are ecstatic. well into the night, horns honking in rome. it was 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning, there was still activity on the streets. everybody is so excited and so proud of this team. i think this victory brought the country together in many ways, coming off the horrible year of the pandemic. everybody feels a little more optimistic this morning. and i think the hangover of this all-night party will last well into the week. the team just arrived back in rome to meet with the president and prime minister, and everybody is proud of them here in the city and the country. rosemary? >> and for good reason. they really turned it all around, didn't they? salma, i want to go to you and how are england fans coping with this crushing defeat, and what is the latest on the racism against players and the shocking and vile abuse online? >> reporter: rosemary, i think people across the country are waking up feeling quite heart broken today, not just about the football, but what's happening

with this racial abuse online. now, i have to start by explaining that the black lives matter movement here has been very controversial. it's created a huge backlash in this country. activists say they feel afraid to speak out on racial justice, on issues of social equality. and that's exactly what this team wanted to do. the manager at the beginning of the tournament, penned a letter to the country, dear england, and said he wanted his players and team to represent englishness on and off the field. he wanted them to mean and symbolize something more than the football, something more than the sport. what he wanted them to do was to advocate for the causes that are important to them. racial justice, social equality. an idea of english thsness that progressive, open minded, that is, to be frank, exactly the opposite of what traditional english fans seem to be. they often seem to be rude,

close minded, and yes, in the worst case scenarios, racist. that's something they really wanted to fight at a time when there's a really big culture war here. england is trying to define itself post brexit, post black lives matter movement, post covid. what are we, what does it mean, what is the vision for the future that goes all the way to the top so prime minister boris johnson and his government who have been accused of not standing with the black lives matter movement. so really waking up today and see thing racial abuse against these three black players really disgusting, vile comments. saka is only 19 years old. he's seen the response of some members of the his country as racial abuse against a 19-year-old boy for losing that game. this is a very tough moment. the question is, is that attempt to try to push this cultural shift forward, have they succeeded at that?

>> just not acceptable. sit a wakeup call. something needs to be done here. many thanks to both of you. appreciate it. billionaire richard branson is calling his flight into space the dawn of a new space age. >> you can see the shouts, the crowd cheering behind me. that is that moment that richard branson and his team have been waiting for nearly two decades. >> and that was cnn's rachel crane describing the moment virgin galactic's super sonic space plain, the vss unity, detached from the mother ship. early sunday, the founder and five other members flew 50 miles up to the edge of space, experiencing weightlessness for a few minutes before returning safely back to earth. it is a land mark moment for the

space tourism industry. branson is the first billionaire to travel to space aboard his own company spacecraft. cnn's kristen fisher was at space port america in new mexico and has more on the launch. >> reporter: this is a big deal, because it was the first time in human history that someone has funded and built a spacecraft and then flown that spacecraft into space. so richard branson celebrating a successful test flight of virgin galactic's spaceship two unity. it all started right here at space port america, in truth or consequences, new mexico on sunday morning, taking off, attached to mother ship eve. at the right altitude, it detached and the pilots ignited that rocket engine and those six astronauts, or soon-to-be astronauts blasted into space. they hit 53.5 mills above sea

level. they got a few minutes of weightlessness. and then it glided back down to earth and landed on the same runway it took off from. while it looked flawless, and so easy, this was the culmination of 17 years of incredibly difficult and at times tragic work for the entire team. it's something that richard branson alluded to on this stage behind me at the big celebration ceremony. >> i want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, to every single person who has believed in virgin galactic, the team who have work sod hard to make this dream come true. love you all. it's 17 years of pain staking work, and the occasional, horrible down but by and large ups with it. and today walls definitely the biggest up. >> reporter: someone else is about to go into space, fellow billionaire jeff bezos. he's going to be attempting to go into space on a flight on his rocket, blue origins, new

sheppard spacecraft taking place just nine days from now. there's been so much talk about this competition and rivalry between these two billionaires. and yes, there certainly is at least a low grade rivalry. but richard branson wishing jeff bezos well today. and jeff bezos saying i look forward to joining the club on july 20th. i'm kristen fisher at space port america. and branson was hopeful about the futcher of space travel, where equal access for all is the norm, not the exception. >> we're here to make space more accessible to all, and we want to turn the next generation of dreamers into the astronauts of today and tomorrow. we've all just had the most

extraordinary experience. we would love it if a number of you can have it, too. so just imagine a world where people of all ages, all backgrounds, from anywhere, of any gender, of any ethnicity, have equal access to space. and they will, in turn, inspire us back here on earth. if you ever had a dream, now is the time to make it come true. still to come, what experts are saying about vaccine booster shots as cases of covid variants surge. plus, rare scenes in cuba. crowds of protestors in multiple cities showing their anger against the communist government. we'll tell you why. doors closi) (screaming & laughter) ♪ ♪ (sounds of car doors closing) (crash sound & tires squealing) (phone chimes) this is onstar. we've detected a crash from your phone. is anyone injured? i don't think so. good. help is on the way.

this is something that almost never happens here, that people engage in anti-government protests. the government does not permit it. usually they're shut down very, very quickly, and many people are just too afraid to openly criticize the government. but on sunday, it was a very different picture, as thousands of people did just that. they said they were sick of energy shortages and empty store shelves. many complained about the government's coronavirus response. the economy here has been deeply, deeply damaged. the economy was already ailing before the pandemic, but now with more than a year of very little tourism to this island, people are hurting. many of the people said they were simply not afraid anymore. they had nothing left to lose in front of cuban police officers. they criticized their government. they called for change. but so far at least those calls have fallen on deaf ears, because we saw several arrests,

people being taken away by the police. we saw the government sending in their own counterprotestors that said they supported the revolution to try to drown out the anti-government protestors. and cuba's president, successor to the castros, said that the supporters of the revolution needed to take to the streets, needed to defend the revolution, and he was giving them an order to flood the streets to defend their government. so far at least, despite these calls for change, unprecedented calls for change, the cuban government does not appear to be giving an inch. >> as the delta variant prompts concerns of a new surge of covid infections, drugmaker pfizer is set to brief u.s. officials on vaccine boosters today. last week, pfizer reported reduced immunity among people who received their shots a while ago. and said they would seek

emergency use authorization for a booster from the fda in august. according to the fda and cdc, there is no evidence boosters are needed just yet. and top u.s. health expert dr. anthony fauci agrees. >> there's a lot of work going on to examine this in real-time to see if we might need a boost. but right now, given the data that the cdc or the fda has, they don't feel they need to tell people right now you need to be boosted. there are places in the world, many places, where the vaccination availability is practically nil. those people would do anything to get a vaccine. we in the united states have enough vaccinations to give to everybody in the country, and they're life saving. >> meantime, israel is offering a third dose of the pfizer vaccine to the immunocompromised after an uptick in delta variant

infections. the israeli health minister says the shot is immediately available. the new push is focused on older patients and those vaccinated a while ago. joining me now in atlanta is dr. del rio, the executive associate dean of emery school of medicine at graty health system. thank you for talking with us. >> happy to be with you. >> so dr. anthony fauci says we don't need a third covid booster shot at this time. but pfizer is speaking authorization for a third shot, and israel announced it's now offering a third booster shot to people with compromised immune systems. what are they to make of these mixed messages, and when do you think we will need that third booster? >> i think it's a very good question, because at this point in time, most people will not need a booster shot if they

received the pfizer or moderna vaccine. they're seeking approval, israel is allowing a third shot for those that are immunocompromised. if you are a transplant recipient, a third shot may be indicated. we have seen some good responses. but the vast majority of the population do not need a booster shot. the data does not suggest that's the case. >> and with the delta variant driving the spread of infections across the country and the world, particularly in low vaccinated areas, former fda chief dr. scott gottlieb says we need to get around 3 million shots into arms a day over the next two to three weeks to really make a big difference in this country. but with a third of americans refusing or at least hesitant to get that shot, how do you achieve that? >> it's going to be really hard.

i agree with dr. gottlieb that we have to do better with. the delta variant, if you have been fully immunized, you have nothing to worry. this is a highly transmissible virus. so if you haven't been vaccinated, you should get vaccinated. we need to get more people vaccinated in this country to protect ourselves from the dealt air variant. but there's a lot of people saying i'm not going to get immunized. a couple of things will help. hyper targeted markets will help. go to a local community and understand what the issues are. number two, you need to work with trusted members of the community, such as churches and community based organizations. and number three, it's really important that the fda gives full approval to the vaccine soon. as long as they're under

emergency use authorization, a lot of people will still be hesitant to get vaccinated. >> that seems to be the key thing. hopefully that can be done at least at the end of the summer. would you like to see schools, airlines, offices, many private businesses mandating vaccines, is that the key to getting everyone vaccinated? >> that's not the key, but i think it's going to be important to get many more people vaccinated. as long as airlines or more importantly, the country saying in order to come to this country or that country, you need to get immunized. i think another thing that will happen is certain events may want to get immunized. schools are doing that, primarily universities. health care systems will do that. but a lot of people right now are hesitant to mandate vaccines. once the emergency authorization has been lifted and they receive fda approval, you'll see a wave

of vaccines happening in the united states. >> republicans at cpac cheered when they announced that biden missed his goal to get 70% of americans vaccinated. president trump got vaccinated in private, but apparently doesn't want to encourage his supporters to get that same protection. how much do you worry that politics is now dominating the whole vaccination process, just as it dominated the wearing of masks, how do you combat that? >> i think it's a big problem. to me it's incredible to see the republicans being resistant to nation, when they need to take credit for the vaccine. i will say that -- i mean, it was under president trump that the investment was made that operation warp speed started, that all the things that led to approval of the vaccine occurred there. so republicans would say this is our vaccine, this is not biden's

vaccine. and they should obtain credit for it. but they're not doing that, and that's very important. at the end 06 the day, i don't care if you're republican or democrat, we all need to protect ourselves and be immunized. that's the right thing to do. >> dr. del rio, thank you for talking to us. >> delighted to be with you. in the united kingdom, the prime minister will announce new criteria for the country to enter step four of its reopening plan. a statement says four different conditions must be met to roll back restrictions further, including proof that vaccines are reducing hospitalizations and covid related deaths. data must also show undue pressure would not be put on the nhs or fundamentally change risks caused by new variants. with the summer olympics set to begin in just over 11 days from now, this even though host

city tokyo is now under a new state of emergency due to a rising number of covid-19 infections. and the torch relay is being kept off the public streets. it was again limited to a small ceremony on the stage sunday. the state of emergency will cover the entire duration of the summer games. authorities are asking restaurants, bars, and stores to close early and cut alcohol sales. speck fay-- spectators are bann from the vast majority of events. olympic security officials are expected to meet next hour, as part of final preparations. and later, ioc president thomas bach is scheduled to welcome arriving delegations. a stau poll shows donald trump is the clear conservative favorite for a 2024 white house bid. but he wasn't the only one in double digits.

white house in 2024. sarah murray has details now. >> reporter: donald trump got the attention of an adoring crowd here on sunday. he delivered a speech that lasted more than an hour, where he rehashed the election results of 2020 and slamming the biden administration. >> we were doing so well until the rigged election happened to come along. we were doing really well. but today that heritage is under threat like never before. who would have thought this could have happened? even bernie sanders is saying, i never thought this could happen. he's mild be comparison. in a matter of mere months, joe biden has brought our country to the brink of ruin. right here in texas, we are at the epicenter of a border crisis

not seen before. >> reporter: you heard the talking points about the rigged election. it was clear that the crowd was very much in the former president's corner. they did a straw poll here, just a snap shop of the far conservative wing of the republican base. but it showed that 70% of the folks at cpac would vote for trump if he were running again. the closest personing behind him was a 21%, that was ron desantis of florida. it gives you a sense of how donald trump has frozen the republican field. normally cpac is a big moment for up and coming republican stars. we didn't see as much of that this time around. everyone is waiting to see what the president decides to do. he doesn't have an answer. he says he knows what he wants to do but he's not going to announce it. joining me now from los angeles is cnn's senior political analyst ron

brownstein. great to have you with us. >> hi, rosemary. >> so former president trump, addressed cpac, going after joe biden for immigration at the southern border, topics that resonate with his base, but can he wing over swing vote sners >> an interesting question, and one that 2022 and 2024 may give us an election for. midterm elections tend to be about base voters. so it's possible that republicans could have a successful mid-term election without really testing whether this trumpification of the party will be more sellable in 2024 than in 2020. in 2020, joe biden was elected, because so many previously

republican leaning voters, whether it was atlanta or philadelphia, denver, minneapolis, they voted democratic. and the republican party continues to place their relationship with those voters at risk by buying in to so many of kind of the trump tropes, especially, and so i think we're not going to fully know the answer until 2024. i think there's a lot of reasons for republicans to be concerned. >> right. and interestingly, president trump won the cpac straw poll of about a dozen or saw 2024 potential gop candidates with 70% of support from attendees compared to 21% support for florida governor ron desantis. how surprised are you that trump's support wasn't higher than 70%?

>> i think it's pretty much in line, we talked about this before. by and large, if you look at all the questions, whether the election was stolen, whether trump's behavior after election day was acceptable, roughly 75% of the republican party is still with him. between a fifth and a quarter of the republican party that is deeply uneasy with everything that has been happening in the last few months. the turn aaway -- i believe that one of the key questions in american politics for 2022 and 2024 is what does that one quarter of republicans do? because they are being sent a message every day and every possible way from kevin mccarthy and other party leaders, they are now the subservient faction in the party. they are disciplining liz cheney but not margie taylor green.

>> what do they do in the end, and republicans have attacked joe biden's vaccination efforts, some even suggesting that door-to-door vaccination efforts could somehow end up in guns being confiscated from people. how do things like that play with the electorate? do people buy all of this? >> well, you know, when you talk about the polarization in american politics, it's often measured in different answers in a public opinion poll. the democrats have different views on gun control or gay rights than republicans. we see that this plays out in very life and death consequences in the daily experiences of americans, and the differences in the way that red and blue states impose lockdowns, and now this enormous gulf that is not only very formidble but widening between red and blue counties over whether to get the vaccine,

polling last week from abc washington post here in america, roughly 85% of democrats said they have already been vaccinated. only 45% of flrepublicans, and e remaining republicans almost all say they have no intention on getting vaccinated. the gap on the ground has this d data that shows it's widening. >> ron brownstein, thank you. haiti's first lady appears to have broken her silence following the assassination of her husband. she was shot and injured during wednesday's attack on the couple's port aprince home. she encouraged haitians to perseverance. while cnn has not confirmed the

authenticity of this audio, several haitian officials say it is the first lady speaking. >> translator: tears will never dry up in my eyes, but we cannot allow the president to die a second time. it's true i'm crying, but we can't let the country go astray. >> the audio message suggested he was killed for political reasons, and now haitian police appear to have confirmed as much. on sunday, police arrested a man who they say helped orchestrate the assassination. they say the 63-year-old was born in haiti and reentered the country last month with "political intentions." according to police, he helped recruit and organize the group of 28 mercenaries who carried out this attack. so far, all but five have been arrested or killed by police. we've learned that u.s. officials and fbi agents have

now joined the investigation. cnn spoke with the sister of one of the men accused in the assassination plot. she says the narrative surrounding her brother is wrong, and he is also a victim. here is that report. >> reporter: a group of colombian men accused of murdering the president of haiti, and they are speaking out, claiming their loved ones are, in fact, innocent and the victims of a conspiracy. cnn spoke with the sister of a retired sergeant of the colombian army who was killed by the haitian police and says her brother was hired to work as a private security to protect an important person in haiti. she said she spoke with her brother on wednesday afternoon. more than 15 hours after he was killed. >> translator: he told me that

sadly they got there to protect someone important, that they arrived late. he told me they were in the house under siege and under fire, fighting. >> reporter: she says she learned from the news that her brother had been killed, and he was accused of the president's assassination. she told cnn she does not know who hired her brother for a job or who her brother was sent to protect in haiti. the colombian police chief said 13 members to have colombian army who traveled to haiti are believed to have been involved with the assassination. and on saturday, the chief of the colombian intelligence agency traveled to haiti to follow investigations on location. and still to come, how the annual 12th of july festivities in northern island are being marred by tensions over brexit this year. od?

in the coming hours, thousands of people are expected to participate in northern ireland's 12th of july parades. but the festivities among protestants also have a long history of sparking sectarian violence. this time, they've added tension due to frustrations over brexit and new customs regulations. cnn's nic robertson joins us live from belfast. good to see you. despite the anger, violence appears to have been averted so far. but what are the worries here? >> reporter: well, there will be almost 100 parades across northern ireland today, traditional parades, they will be a little different than previous years because of covid regulations rather than very large centralized parades, they will be in different communities across northern ireland. but none are going to do what they historically used to do, which is march through catholic

communities. so the tensions have been coming down, that this year, because of brexit, because of the northern ireland customs protocols, tensions are much higher. the protestant community here feel their way of life, their traditions are under threat. a narrow escape. a weekend of northern ireland tradition. historically prime for potential violence. irish protestants celebrating a 331-year-old victory over irish catholics. >> this is just what we do. it's every year. >> it's a family event. it's part of our culture. >> reporter: mostly families having fun, teenagers getting a little drunk. but underlying the festivities,

frustrations, compounded by brexit and new customs regulations they fear threaten their constitutional ties to the uk. >> the protocols caused a lot of anger in our community. there's nothing else to give. >> reporter: the 250 bonfires lit over the weekend, only two or three are conten jous. but recent years, tensions around this event have been subsiding. but this year, frustrations under way. at peaceful parades, protestant neighborhoods, all part of the same commemorations, families line the road bonding in their shared heritage, haunted by a common perception. pro irish catholics are making

gains at their expense. brexit and the protocols are straining northern ireland's peace. but the parades and bonfires went off largely without incident this weekend is significant, but not by chance. behind the scenes, organizers have been working hard to diffuse tensions. >> we decided the protocol after the 12th of july, we wanted our supporters to have a good day. >> reporter: the concern now until the issue is resolved, another flashpoint is just around the corner. >> we saw very serious violence spill on the streets here. so yes, there's a chance that those type of scenes could return again. >> reporter: a bullet has quite

literally been dodged this weekend. guns were being readied to stop moving this contentious bonfire. the worry now, the guns could come out again. now, what organizers are telling us is, the reason they put the protocol issue to one side is they've been told by the british government to expect a significant statement from prime minister boris johnson within the next few days that will address the protocol issue. the question is, will it go for enough? they say the protocols have to be removed completely, that the border they see between mainland uk and northern ireland, that must go. and so another potential flashpoint really is potentially just a few weeks away, rosemary. these are fundamental issues to this loyalist community here. and sort of a small amount of political manipulation and words

isn't going to change the situation for people here. they really need to see a substantial shift. rosemary? >> we thank you for your report, nic robertson, joining us live from belfast. much of the western u.s. is sweltering under triple digit temperatures as a brutal heat wave stretches on into a new week. when will the extreme temperatures ease up? we will check in with our meteorologist. that's next. he season on the sleep number 360 smart bed. it's the most comfortable, body-sensing, automatically-responding, energy-building, dually-adjustable, dad-powering, wellness-boosting, foot-warming, temperature-balancing, recovery-assisting, effortlessly life-changing proven quality night sleep we've ever made. don't miss our weekend special. the new queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is only $899. plus, 0% interest for 48 months. ends monday.

the west coast. that continues to be bottled up across the desert southwest and the surrounding regions. sunday, we hit more daily record highs. 120 in china lake. fresno hit 114. 110 degree previous record high. and in death valley, california, death valley hit three difficult days of temperatures at or above 128 degrees. that's only happened a couple of other times in history. last time that occurred was in july of 2005, and then july 1913, we had six days, six consecutive days of temperatures above 128 degrees. we have excessive heat alerts in effect right now across the southwest. basically the entire state of nevada. once we get into the afternoon, we get up to 113 degrees in las vegas. that's eight degrees above average. death valley, 124 today.

so still quite hot, right? even by death valley standards. and you know it's hot when the overnight temperatures are unable to cool down. that's what we're seeing here. bakersfield will be -- having a morning low tuesday of just 80 degrees. yikes! the record heat will wane on tuesday and wednesday. that doesn't mean we're going to see a cooldown. it's still going to be extremely warm. temperatures above average here, and well above average up here across the northern plains. and as you know, not only do we have the heat, but we have this ongoing drought which is not helping the wildfires. >> it is just incredible what is happening. tyler, thank you so much for staying on top of that. and thank you for joining us. i'm rosemary church. i'll be back with more news in just a moment. don't settle. start your day with secret.
