there were guns. a rare mass shooting in denmark. >> tragic news there are several fatalities reported. ♪ >> announcer: live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. it is monday, july 4th, independence day in the united states. millions of americans will be celebrating the holiday without covid restrictions the first time in three years. the celebrations come at a time of deep division over conservative politics. roe v. wade one of the issues. cost of living a concern for many families this holiday weekend. several cities marked independence day early with fireworks shows on sunday. you're looking at picture from milwaukee, wisconsin. it's their first show since

2019. but in many cities, fire work displays may be limited with costs for displays around 35% according to the pyrotechnic association. retailers are ready to meet demand this year. the fourth of july cookout will cost more this year, roughly 17% higher than last year. that's a little over $10 more than 2020. as of last month, ketchup prices have spiked 21%, would you believe. ground beef and buns are also up. one bright spot, though, beer prices are relatively unchanged, and a little more good news if you're hitting the roads today. gas prices are slowly dropping. now averaging $4.81 a gallon. now, meanwhile, millions of americans are still traveling for the holiday, but more than 1500 flights have been canceled since friday, and many others have been delayed according to the tracking website flight aware. airlines say that should ease,

though. cnn's nadia romero reports. >> we have hit a very quiet moment here at the busiest airport in the world. and perhaps this is the best time to travel, the middle of a holiday weekend and the middle of the day. take a look behind me. this is where you enter the main security checkpoint at the busiest airport in the world. you can just walk right in and make your way through to the tsa checkpoint. this is a clear, this is a free check. this is standard boarding. look how easy it is for people to make their way to the front counter and make their way to the checkpoint. this is a far cry from what we saw saturday and definitely friday. let's look at the numbers on saturday of 2020. so, july 2nd, 2020, of the holiday weekend, only 467,000 passengers made their way through security checkpoints. and then last year, look at that dramatic increase. 1.9 million passengers, and then increasing again on saturday of this year, 2.16 million passengers. of course, we saw the height,

the largest number of people going through tsa security checkpoints on friday, 2 1/2 million people making their way through. but for some passengers, it's not the tsa security checkpoints they're worried about. they're worried if their flight is going to be canceled or delayed. take a listen. >> we tried to get on a flight. the only available option was for tomorrow. so we just have to pass time and hope for a good flight. >> reporter: you're here now. are you supposed to take a connecting flight somewhere else? >> yeah, to denver, colorado. >> reporter: but your flight got delayed so you haven't hopped on it yet or you missed it? >> i didn't miss it. it got delayed so i have to wait like nine hours in the airport. yeah. >> reporter: nine hours? and at this point in the holiday weekend, it's really a domino effect or ripple effect. if a flight was delayed or canceled on friday or saturday, that's going to have an impact sunday or monday.

you heard from those travelers who, some of them are going to have to spend the night in the airport here in atlanta. some will have to spend 11 hours in the airport. but for other people, they planned ahead. they made sure that they didn't miss their flight, and that they had another alternative if their flight was delayed or canceled. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta. the travel chaos isn't the only possible dampener on american holiday plans today. many cities canceled the fireworks shows, the region under a severe drought. there's been a large spike in wildfires the last eight years surrounding the fourth of july. but in other parts of the country it's a very different story. usual day of fun in the sun instead being met with heavy rainfall. el dorado, arkansas, residents spent sunday waist deep in flood waters. these firefighters rescuing a woman who tried to drive through. joining me is cnn meteorologist derek van dam. what can they expect the rest of the day? >> nothing fun about pushing

your car through flooded streets, max. that particular area, that comes from arkansas and the central parts of the u.s. you can see over the next few days, pretty much rain-free the most part. the bulk of the thunderstorms today and the return to the office -- return to work, for instance, on tuesday after the fourth of july holiday, basically across the midwest and eventually stretching toward the east coast and the mid-atlantic. today chicago to minneapolis, you need to keep an eye to the sky. mother nature might be making its own fire works display to celebrate and cap off our independence weekend. you can see the thunderstorm chance probability across the northern great plains and into the midwest. all draped along this frontal bondery. thi -- boundary. this is going to produce straight line gusts, we could see winds in excess of 50, 60 miles an hour if they form. damaging winds, large hail a possibility. look at them form. chicago all the way to grand rapids, michigan, my hometown.

that would be later this afternoon and evening. as that line progresses into the day on tuesday, we have another chance of severe weather extending all the way to the nation's capital. that means over 55 million americans under threat of severe weather as we return home on tuesday. look at the forecast weather delays for the airports. chicago, that is an obvious one because of the storms moving through. clear across the northeast, but into tuesday that's going to change for the nation's capital, d.c. and boston. as the thunderstorms ride the ridge of this heat dome that is causing all the excess i ive temperatures across the nation. putting out heat advisories for over 20 million americans across the central parts of the u.s., this is what it will feel like on your skin as you step out in north platt, 102 degrees. can't escape the heat and humidity across the northeast. this could bubble up a few thunderstorms as well. if you're lucky enough to get outdoors, head out and see the fireworks this evening. i do believe the northeast will look good. keep an eye on minneapolis, chicago, the thunderstorms will

form quickly today. max? >> thank you very much indeed. be sure to catch cnn's special coverage of the fourth in america. it begins at 4:00 p.m. in los angeles, 7:00 p.m. in washington and new york. that's 12:00 a.m. tuesday here in london. we're getting new information, meanwhile, on sunday's deadly shooting in denmark. [ gunshots ] police say at least three people are dead after a gunman opened fire in a busy shopping mall in copenhagen. the victims include two danish 17-year-old, a russian man living in denmark. authorities also say two swedish and two danish citizens are amongst those critically injured. and there is no indication that this was an act of terrorism so far. the suspected gunman is due to face a judge in the coming hours.

i'm joined by cnn's nada bashir. what do we know about it? >> reporter: the investigation is still very much ongoing, but we heard from police officials speaking earlier today giving us a bit more detail. as you mention there, at this stage there are no indications that this was terror-related. in fact, we heard they believe these victims were chosen at random. take a listen. >> translator: there is nothing in our investigation or the documents that we have been looking at or the items we found, or the witness statements we have that can indicate that it was an act of terror. our assessment is that the victims are random victims. that is not motivated by gender or anything else. >> reporter: now, according to police officials, this individual was known to psychiatric professionals in the country, so there is some suggestion that perhaps mental health may be a cause behind this incident. the suspect in question, a 22-year-old danish man was

arrested yesterday. he is in custody and will face police questioning today. he was carrying weapons and ammunition. he is believed to be the shooter. at this stage police said there are no indications there were any other shooters involved. but until they can officially rule this out, the investigation on that line of inquiry will continue. >> this is the biggest shopping center in denmark. there is a harry stiles concert next door. lots of young people were there milling around. we've seen this video circulating the last 24 hours. huge amount for the country to deal with, and swedes involved, russian involved. >> reporter: absolutely. completely horrifying and absolute chaos at the scene. you mentioned the harry stiles concert going on just nearby. it wasn't directly impacted but as a precaution the concert was canceled and police evacuated concert goers that evening. there was a lot of panic and chaos at the seen and busy shopping center on a sunday afternoon when most people would

have been gather thing. of course, we know now at least three people have been killed. four others are believed to be in a critical condition in hospital including two teenagers. there were others injured and they were also injured fleeing the scene as opposed to being directly impacted by gunshot wound. you can imagine the scene of chaos. >> panic, yeah. okay, nada, thank you. protesters marched on sunday after the release of body cam video showing akron police fatally shooting a black man. >> we are done, done. we are done, done. we are done, done. we are done, done. >> akron's police chief said 25-year-old jalen walker suffered 60 gunshot wounds citing a medical examiner's report. the release of this information comes nearly a week after officers tried to stop walker for an alleged traffic violation. police say he led them on a car chase and fired a shot at them. then police say walker

eventually abandoned his car and a foot chase took place. during this chase, officers believed walker was reaching towards his waist, moving into a firing position. want to warn you. the next piece of police video we are about to show you is disturbing. [ sirens ] [ gunshots ] >> oh, my good! -- oh, my god! [ gunshots ] >> cnn's paolo sandoval is following the shooting and he follows it now from akron. >> reporter: authorities in akron , ohio, vowing to proceed

with the investigation with transparency and scrutiny as well as they continue to look into the police shooting of jalen walker. over the weekend, authorities in the city of akron released about 18 minutes' worth of video, each minute basically offering a different perspective, showing those responding officers, about eight total, before they opened fire shooting and killing walker. investigators also over the weekend saying or at least sharing more about that possible perceived threat that provoked the lethal response from officers, including a single gunshot that came from inside the car while police were chasing the vehicle that was being driven by walker. and it was shortly after that pursuit turned from a vehicle chase to a foot chase that you can see in the video clearly those eight officers opened fire, a barrage of bullets. the police chief saying on sunday that those officers will have to account for each one of the shots that they fired. >> they need to be able to

articulate what specific threats they were facing, and that goes for every round that goes down the barrel of their gun. and they need to be held to account. >> reporter: the investigation is now in the hands of state authorities here. both the walker family and a.p.d. maintain walker himself was unarmed at the time of the actual police shooting. so in the meantime, investigators continue to press on with the case as the people here in akron continue to call for accountability. and for justice. as for the eight officers involved, they continue on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. paolo sandoval, cnn, akron , ohio. they showed calm after the fatal police shooting. >> there's no doubt that the video you just watched is extremely disturbing and will stir a lot of emotions and feeling, shocking and hard to take in. but what we are collectively calling for is peace this afternoon. it's the same thing mr. walker's

family is calling for and it's the ask of everyone standing here with me in the community, peace for our city, peace for our community and peace for our residents. >> while we wait for more information surrounding the shooting, a civil lights leader in akron is among those raising deep concerns about the officers' handling of the case. >> please help us understand why for any reason anyone would have to be shot that many times by that many officers. i don't even think the video will capture how many. i think what it will capture is the scene. and when you look at, from my understanding, when you look at a video like that, there's no way you can justify killing a man 60 times who was running away from a scene. >> attorneys for jalen walker's family held a news conference after the footage was released

saying he had never broken the law during his life, no crimes of any kind. the family also wants the public to give peace, give dignity, and give justice a chance for jalen while the police investigation is underway. now, still ahead, ukraine suffers a setback in the battle field as russian forces claim a big prize in the east. we're live from kyiv with a look at where things go from here. and turkish authorities reportedly have detained a russian cargo ship allegedly carrying stolen ukrainian grain. that story just ahead. buried in receipts, invoices and other paperwork that's preventing you from doing what matters most? then get the all new epson rapidreceipt smart organizer to scan, digite and organize your documents and receipts. receipts go in, and stress goes awayit's the only

over a critical city in eastern usual. on sunday ukraine confirmed lysychansk, the last strong hold in the luhansk region. the last likely means russian troops control the entire region. ukraine said russia is already shifting focus in neighboring dan donetsk and donbas. they vowed they will retake the

territory they have lost. >> translator: ukraine does not give anything up. and when someone over there in moscow reports something about the luhansk region, let them remember their reports and promises before february 24th. in the first days of this invasion in the spring and now, let them really evaluate what they got over this time and how much they paid for it. >> we are already seeing some cities in donetsk come under fire. ukrainian officials shared this video in the aftermath of an attack. six people were killed, 15 wounded amid some of the heaviest shelling in recent days. it is playing out as officials gather in switzerland to hash out plans to rebuild ukraine once the fighting stops. the task before them is da daunting. reconstruction is expected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars and could run into the

trillions. reuters reporting authorities detained a russian cargo ship carrying stolen grain. that is according to the ambassador in turkey speaking on ukrainian tv. ukraine has accused russia of stealing grain in territories its forces have seized. cnn covering the story from every angle. claire sebastian here in london. let's start with cnn's scott mclean live in kyiv. scott, they are basically outgunned in this region they pulled out of. >> reporter: out gunned, out manned. max, look, this was one of russia's major goals in this war to take luhansk and the other take donetsk region, and perhaps far beyond that. ukraine has conceded their troops did have to pull back. there are still some pockets of resistance. the local governor in the area spoke with cnn this morning and framed the situation like this. saying the ukrainians could have gone on and fought for, say, another two weeks or so, but they would have sustained heavy

losses and they would have run the risk of getting completely encircled by those russian troops which, of course, would have had even greater consequences. russian troops, they say, in that area were more prepared than they were anywhere else along the front line, in part, because these are the same soldiers who had been fighting on and off for the last eight years since this conflict began back in 2014. they also knew the local area much better so tactics, say, removing the street signs where they employed in other areas were not as effective in other places. the real advantage, though, ukrainians say the russians had was not the fighting power or the fighting will of the local soldiers, but on the artillery strength. this is what president zelenskyy said about it yesterday. >> translator: russia has enough g gad systems to dwee destroy city after city.

they acquired their highest fire in donbas. they use artillery on every section of the front. this is reality. this is why we destroy the potential of the occupiers, day after day, calculated, powerfully. we will rebuild the walls. we will regain the land. but people must be saved above all else. >> reporter: the local governor said, look, the artillery fire was so, so strong that at some point they had shelled this city, this area so badly that there wasn't really much for the ukrainians to even attempt to hold onto. the local governor also told cnn that he believes many of the thousands of local residents who chose to stay behind to take shelter in their basements during the worst of the fighting, some of them stayed behind because they were perhaps collaborating with the russians, thep helping them adjust their fire

to ukrainian positions. where next? we are already seeing signs of fighting ramping up in slovansk. expect the trend to continue, max. >> scott, thank you. and, claire, you have been following these grain mountains which are making their way around the world. >> reporter: right. >> again, russia -- ukraine accusing russia of stealing that. what are they doing with it? >> reporter: the news this morning coming by reuters citing the ukrainian ambassador to turkey, the turkish authorities detained a flag vessel which apparently you can see a picture of it there, which is a kilometer away from the turkish port which is on the black sea. of course, a very contested water at the moment. now, ukraine says that ship is full of stolen grain and it set off from a port in the sea of azov. it is hard to confirm these

things because you can't see what's on that ship unless you go up to it. if true, it would appear to be a pattern emerging from russia. cnn has tracked satellite images of ships that appear to be loading grain from ukraine and trying to take them to other places, to export them for russia's gain. russia has denied stealing grain. interestingly earlier in june, the kremlin spokesperson said work was underway to strike deals to sell this grain to places like turkey and the middle east. so clearly this is one of the most far reaching consequences of this war, and another part of this which is worth watching the role of turkey because they are trying to broker talks between russia, ukraine, the u.n. to try to find a solution to unblockade the black sea and get ukraine's grain exports out. clearly they are having to play another role here in terms of policing waters around their own ports and figure out what's in the ships, max. >> in terms of the broader topic, other countries are

looking towards a longer term plan for ukraine and how they can possibly rebuild it. they do need to be thinking about that at this point, don't they, because the costs are astronomical. >> reporter: yeah, i think you see certainly in terms of the way people are talking about this at the moment in europe and beyond, a recognition of just how much this is going to cost, and just how long term this is going to be. it's controversial, but that's what you see certain schools of thought emerging among leaders about how to end this and what ukraine might or should or could be willing to sacrifice to end the violence and move towards reconstruction. of course, you heard from zelenskyy. he said we're going back, we're going to take the territory. he's not willing to give up any ground. >> thank you, claire, very much. the u.s. house select committee says it is possible they'll make criminal referrals over the january 6 attack on the capitol and it could include the former president. the next step for investigators when we return. and anti-abortion politicians are facing tough

questions over new state laws banning a woman's right to choose. >> you would be okay with that, a 10-year-old girl having to have a baby? >> no, i'm never okay with that. in fact, that story will keep me up at night.

if you're just joining us, let me bring you up to date with our top stories this hour. authorities in denmark are ruling out i an act of terror in the deadly copenhagen mall shooting. the suspected gunman is due to face a judge in the coming hours. meanwhile in akron , ohio, the family of a black man killed by police are calling for

justice. newly released body cam footage shows the moments jalen walker was shot by several officers with 60 rounds of bullets. the u.s. house committee investigating the january 6 attack on the capitol is forging ahead making its case that responsibility for what happened that day goes straight to the top. former white house aide cassidy hutchinson delivered block buster testimony last week, remarkable moments include her accounts of a furious donald trump demanding to be taken to the capitol. it is clear understanding some in the crowd were armed. cnn's zachary cohen looks at what other bombshells could lie ahead. >> reporter: the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection could make multiple criminal referrals including one of former president donald trump. now, that's what the panel's vice chair congresswoman liz cheney said in the interview on sunday where she made it clear the committee may recommend that the justice department bring criminal charges against trump

himself. take a listen to what she said on abc on sunday. >> so, the committee will or will not make a criminal referral? >> we'll make a decision as a committee about it. >> so it's possible there will be a criminal referral? >> yes. >> effectively the committee saying he should be prosecuted and this is the evidence we -- >> the justice department doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral. there could be more than one criminal referral. >> reporter: cheney's remarks come days after testimony from former white house aide cassidy hutchinson. trump grew angry when he was told by secret service detail he could not accompany protesters to the capitol on january 6. they also come as the committee is preparing for additional hearings and promise to reveal even more evidence connecting trump to the violent attack that day. the investigation also continues. congressman adam kinzinger, the other republican serving on the january 6 committee, said on sunday witnesses have come forward since cassidy hutchinson's testimony last week. >> every day we get new people that come forward and say, hey, i didn't think maybe this piece

of a story that i knew was important, but now that you guys -- like, i do see this plays in here. but, yeah, i mean, look, she is going to go down in history as -- i mean, people can forget the names of every one of us on the committee. they will not forget her name. by the way, she doesn't want that. she doesn't want to be out in the public spotlight, but she has a commitment to truth. >> will we hear from witnesses that you did not know about with stories you did not hear because of the hearing so far? >> yes, yes. there will be -- there is -- there will be way more information, and stay tuned. >> reporter: now, kinzinger and other members of the committee have been reluctant to offer details about those additional witnesses, and new revelation that's could come out in future hearings. it is clear the panel is continuing to make the case there is one man who bears overwhelming responsibility for the january 6 attack, and that man is donald trump. zachary cohen, cnn, washington. the next january 6 hearing, the house select committee

member adam schiff gave this preview. >> the very next hearing will be focused on the efforts to assemble that mob on the mall, who was participating, who was financing it, how it was organized, including the participation of these white nationalist groups like the proud boys and 3%ers and others. and so we'll be presenting information we have. we haven't answered all the questions that we have. we continue our investigation into precisely the issue you are describing. >> it is not clear yet when the next hearing will be. keep in mind last week's testimony from cassidy hutchinson was announced unexpectedly just 24 hours in advance and we'll, of course, stay on top of the story and bring you the very latest. now, in the wake of the supreme court's reversal of roe v. wade, states are now in control of abortion laws and rights in the united states, and that's putting some leaders in the hot seat. the republican governor of south dakota is under fire for her response to a question whether a

10-year-old rape victim should be forced to carry a baby to term. the state has banned all abortions except when the mother's life is at risk. here is her exchange with cnn's dana bash. >> this case it wasn't a woman, it was a girl. should -- >> a child. >> a child. should -- >> and every single life -- every single life is precious. this tragedy is horrific. i can't even imagine. i've never had anybody in my family or myself gone through anything like this. i can't even imagine. but in south dakota, the law today is that abortions are illegal except to save the life of the mother. >> you would be okay with that, a 10-year-old girl having to have a baby? >> no, i'm never okay with that. that story would kim me up at night. it absolutely will. >> a situation like that -- >> a 1-year-old little granddaughter named ms. ady. i can't imagine what i would say, i don't believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy.

>> christina later said she thought it was incredible no one was talking about the horrible individual who raped the 10-year-old girl. south dakota isn't the only state with abortion luaws. huntsville, alabama is one with abortion clinics in the united states. randi kaye was there and she spoke with people most directly impacted by the supreme court ruling. patients, clinic and staff. >> alabama women's center. >> reporter: it's only 8:00 a.m. and the phones at the alabama women's center in huntsville are ringing off the hook. >> alabama women's center. >> reporter: just days after abortions suddenly became illegal in the state, this is now the standard response from staff. >> due to overturn of roe v. wade, we recommend that you consider looking into other states. >> reporter: this 18-year-old showed up at the clinic today still hoping to get an abortion, but was told they can't help her. she agreed to speak with us if we hid her identity.

she said she's two months pregnant. did you know that roe v. wade had overturned when you came here today? >> i did, but i didn't know it was already causing places to stop doing them. >> reporter: so you thought you could come here and get an abortion today? >> yes. >> reporter: what did you think when you realized you couldn't get one? >> i don't think it's fair. no matter the situation, i feel like you should have an abortion. >> reporter: dr. yashika robinson runs the women's alabama center. one of three clinics operating in alabama before roe was overturned. >> i felt powerless as a physician, you know. i know how to care for these patients just like you have the tools to help somebody and you choose not to help them. and that was hard for me. >> reporter: abortion is now illegal in alabama, except in cases where the health of the mother is substantially at risk or the fetus isn't expected to survive. there are no exceptions for rape

or incest. if providers break the law, they could go to prison. >> i know exactly what my attorneys have told me is safe for me to say, and so i feel like somebody is calling me for help and i'm giving them a vague answer and it feels very hypocritical to me. >> reporter: you're concerned about aiding and abetting? >> exactly. >> reporter: this 18-year-old asked not to be identified, came to the clinic just days before roe was overturned. >> i'm proud of the decision i made. >> reporter: she was 11 weeks pregnant when she had her abortion and is grateful she had a choice. what do you think about all those women turned away or canceled and will no longer be able to get an abortion here? >> i feel bad for those girls because this was a hard decision for me. i couldn't imagine being looked in my face and told no. >> reporter: after the other 18-year-old we met was told no at the clinic, she's even more scared as she tries to figure out what to do next. do you feel sort of lost right now?

>> um-hmm. >> reporter: yeah. do you have any idea where you'll go? >> um-hmm. >> reporter: do you feel like you're going to be forced to have this baby? >> i mean, i know i'm gonna -- i know i'm gonna get it done, but i'm gonna try because i don't want it. i don't want to have it, so i'm going to try to go somewhere. but it's just stressful because i feel like i might not be able to find a place in time. >> reporter: randi kaye, cnn, huntsville, alabama. elsewhere, israel and palestinian authority don't trust each other to be impartial as they investigate the death of journalist abu akleh. now the u.s. government is getting involved. details coming up. the 1950 census adds new detail to your family's story. explore it free on ancestry.

at least six people are dead following an avalanche of ice in northeastern italy according to

cnn affiliate sky tg 24. it occurred in the highest mountains of the italian dolomites. large sections of a glacier came crashing down on a summit. rescue areas are going to find hikers missing. in pakistan 19 people are dead after a passenger bus plunged into a ravine. video shows the bus slid off the side of a mountain and fell into a ditch. officials say a dozen other people were injured and rushed to a nearby hospital. it is unclear what caused that crash. officials in egypt are investigating the deaths of two women following a shark attack. both were said to be swimting in the red sea when the attacks took place. the second woman is reported to be a romanian tourist. onlookers watched in horror as an austrian woman was attacked on friday. she died after losing an arm and

leg. shark attacks are rare in the region in recent years. the bullet that killed al jazeera journalist shireen abu akleh is back with palestinian authorities. they gave it to u.s.. the palestinians are leary of letting israel get too involved in the investigation. abu akleh was covering the west bank in may when she was killed by gunfire. here's the latest from jerusalem. >> reporter: nearly two months after al jazeera correspondent shireen abu akleh was killed, we may be getting closer to an answer as to who fired the fatal shot. over the weekend the palestinian authority handed the bullet that killed abu akleh over to the u.s. embassy in jerusalem. although the palestinian authority attorney general said they had been given many guarantees by the americans that the bullet would not be given to the israelis, the spokesperson for the israel defense forces said they were going to work

with the americans to conduct a forensic investigation. the palestinian authority has denied requests to hold a joint investigation with the israelis saying they can't trust the israelis. the idf said the bullet is in the hands of a senior american general who will be present throughout the entire duration of the investigation. the idf spokesperson said the results should be released soon, and that if the investigation showed that an israeli soldier killed abu akleh, they will, quote, take responsibility and will be apologetic. spokespeople for the palestinian authority did not respond to requests for comments about the idf involvement in the bullet's examination. several investigations by news organizations including cnn as well as by the united nations human rights office have found that it is most likely that abu akleh was killed by israeli fire, and not by gunfire from palestinian militants as then israeli prime minister naftali

australian authorities are working on a rescue plan for stranded cargo ship off australia's eastern coast. the 21-person crew lost power amid torrential rains near east south wales. they are looking to evacuate them by helicopter. meanwhile, at least one person has died and thousands are being urged to evacuate from sydney from those heavy rains. the downpour and damaging winds led to flash flooding in some areas on sunday, and forecasters say more bad weather is on the way. the hong kong lawmaker photographed near chinese president xi jinping has tested positive for covid-19. president xi visited the city last week during the 25th anniversary of hong kong's handover from britain to china. it was his first trip outside the mainland since the start of the pandemic. he joined lawmakers for photo

opportunities commemorating the event. the person who tested positive said his test was negative on thursday when those photos were taken. cnn's correspondent will ripley joins me live from taipei. it was always a risk, wasn't it, the entourage around xi did everything they could to avoid it? >> reporter: yeah, there were two hong kong lawmakers who tested positive just days before president xi's visit. some people thought that might be been a deal breaker. he is believed to be extremely paranoid about covid-19 to the point there is a closed loop system that exists simply to protect him from contracting the virus. this is a matter almost of state security from the chinese perspective. you have anybody who wants to have contact or be in the same room with president xi, for weeks ahead of time they are tested daily for covid-19. they have to have a private car shuttle them from their home to their job and back with no unnecessary travel. the night before they are

supposed to meet with them, they go into a quarantine hotel. this lawmaker, he met all these requirements. he tested negative on thursday, attended the photo session. he was one row behind president xi. there are photos showing the two of them, essentially looks like almost next to each other. and then the next day he tested with a mild positive. and the following day on saturday, this was a thursday, friday, saturday. by saturday he had full-blown testing for covid. the question this raises, max, if that closed loop did not work in keeping somebody who had covid-19, you know, a breadth away from the president, well within the reach of somebody who, you know, could potentially be infected, then how is china going to continue to sustain this zero-covid approach? why are 1 1/2 billion people potentially facing, you know, months or years of lockdowns, of hours long waits every couple

days to test negative for covid so they can have a green qr code and go get medicine for their loved ones or go to the supermarket? why are cities going into lockdown for dozens or perhaps a couple hundred cases, the vast majority of them asymptomatic? because all of that is happening right now in china. a country of 1 1/2 billion people that reported fewer than 500 cases yesterday and most of those cases did not have symptoms, max. and yet because president xi is so insistent about zero covid, even issuing the orders personally, they're building permanent testing centers. they're digging in in china to live this zero-covid, almost dystopian reality from the rest of the world, for the long haul. >> will ripley, thank you. if there are any updates back of that from china. now, there was a scary moment during the formula one british grand prix on sunday. a collision during the first

lap, flipped one car sending it skidding upside down before eventually crashing into a fence. amazingly, the driver was unharmed, crediting safety innovations in his car. he took to twitter to let everyone know he was okay. thanks, everyone, for your kind messages. halo in the formula 1 car is a titanium bar that protects the driver's head in a crash. alex auburn was also involved in that crash. in the incident right after he was cleared of major injuries. but sent to the hospital as a precaution. at the end of that race it was carlos saenz who took the checkered flag. he claimed his first victory. lewis hamilton came in third place. it really was an exciting watch. ynow, an erie auction, antique vampire kit was told in the uk for almost 16,000 pounds.

almost six times the asking price. the 19th century box has everything you'd need to ward off vladampires. including crucifixes. it once belonged in the house of lords. pretty paranoid. finally this hour a long lost letter by one of the founding fathers will go on sale -- on display, rather, just in time for the july 4 holiday. the letter was written in 1780 by alexander hamilton to a french aristocrat. it is believed to have been stolen during world war ii. he reportedly sold it to a rare book dealers. in 2018 the letter emerged at an auction house in virginia. it will now be displayed at the commonwealth museum in boston, massachusetts. amazing. thanks for joining me here on "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster in london.
