welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," turmoil in sri lanka. voting under way in japan just two days after shinzo abe was assassinated while on the campaign trail. we're live in tokyo on the latest investigation.

and the latest economic numbers participate a conflicting picture. we'll help you figure out what it all means. the sri lankan president say they'll resign after tens of thousands of people stormed their residences to protest the country's economic cries. this comes after months of protell uses across the south asian nation. it reached unprecedented levels on saturday. at one point more than 100,000 people converged outside the president's residence calling for his resignation. the prime minister says he's willing to make way for an all party government to take over. sri lanka's parliamentary speaker is calling for calm as the country waits for a transition of power to occur. >> translator: there is no need to destabilize the country any

longer. i respectfully request for the cooperation of everyone on behalf of the country and for the country's future in order to maintain peace. >> cnn's will rippley joins us now from taipei. the protesters got what they wanted in a sense. the country's top two leaders are going, so what now? >> reporter: well, the calls for calm appeared to be answered at least as things stand right now, kim. it's still early hours here on sunday. but in sri lanka in clolumbo, te capital, we're getting word that things are quiet, street crews are cleaning up after truly unprecedented months long public anger continuing to grow because the calls for the president and prime minister to step down have gone largely unanswered. the president prime minister, he actually was a replacement for the brother of the president.

so there were two brothers who would flip-flop between president and prime minister over the last number of years. and what analysts say it was financial mismanagement, poor financial decisions by these brothers that are the reason why sri lanka is now facing this horrific financial crisis, the worst they've seen since world war ii, and the anger continues until these protesters say they'll be satisfied this new all-party government will start to fix these huge problems that the country is facing right now. not enough fuel, food, or medicine. but there is one thing in sri lanka that's not in short supply, anger. crowds reached a boiling point saturday in columbo after months of demonstrations in the country's worst economic and political crisis, throngs of protesters stormed the presidential residence demanding

the president resign. >> get rid of the president and prime minister and to have a new era for sri lanka. also i feel very, very sad they didn't go earlier because had they gone earlier there wouldn't be any destruction. >> reporter: under pressure from the streets and by members of party leadership the president informed sri lanka's speaker of parliament he'll step down on wednesday. the speaker relayed that information to it nation, asking protesters to return to their homes. there's no need to destabilize the country any longer, he says, adding he respectfully requests the cooperation of everyone on behalf of the country and for the country's future in order to maintain peace. a peace shattered by the biggest day of demonstrations yet that included the burning of the home the country's prime minister. he, too, says he's willing to step down to make way for an all-party government. home to some 22 million people,

sri lanka is witnessing its worst financial crisis in seven decades. a severe foreign exchange crunch bringing the country to its knees. there have been long, winding queues for fuel now limited to only essential services. power cuts, relentless. analysts say the current crisis a result of poor economic decisions over the years by ra rajah paska and his government. under the constitution if both president and prime minister resign the speaker will serve as acting president for 30 days in which parliament will elect a new president. it will be a sweeping change for sri lanka largely brought about by its own people, many who have nothing left to lose. financial mismanagement is believed to be one factor but sri lanka has been hit by crisis after crisis over the last few

years. you have the easter bombings which really cut into the island's tourism industry, which is hugely important for their economy. and just as they were bouncing back from the easter bombings you had the covid-19 pandemic and last year there was a plastic spill, a ship that caught fire and all these plastic pellets washed up on sri lanka's beautiful beaches, and also that pollution in the ocean also affected the fishing industry. you can see how a number of factors have come together, kim, that have led to a lot of frustration and real hardship for so many people, and they want change at the top. >> yeah, so many issues for whatever new government emerges. will rep lay in taipei, thanks so much. elections are under way two days after the former prime minister shinzo abe was gunned down.

he was killed while campaigning on friday. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken will travel to tokyo on monday to pay his respects. and we're getting details about the suspect's statements to police. blake, let's start there with what we're learning about abe's killer. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: as you mention we're learning more about the man suspected of murdering former prime minister shinzo abe. it's worth noting that even though he admitted to the shooting, he hasn't yet been formally charged. now, today he was moved from a police station in nara where he assassinated the former prime minister to the district prosecutor's office. kyoto news spoke with a former colleague of the suspect who said he's a totally ordinary guy, seemed very mild-mannered, not exactly the characteristics of a man determined to assassinate the former prime minister. but according to japanese public broadcaster nhk, the 41-year-old

suspect considered carrying out the crime a day earlier at a campaign event about 300 meters to the west of where he carried out the assassination. he decided against it at the time because he was looking for a space that was less guarded. nhk also reporting that the suspect told police he'd originally planned on killing abe using explosives before deciding to use a homemade gun. in the end abe was shot twice from several meters away while delivering a speech in the city of nara in support of ldp candidates. those polls are now open across japan. while the former prime minister's assassination could affect turnout, it's unlikely to change the results. abe's liberal democratic party, the ruling party here in japan, was already favored to win a majority of the 125 upper house seats being contested. the winner will spend the next six years meeting inside japan's

parliament building right there behind me, kim, and following the assassination just to reiterate that japan would not be deterred from the election. the current prime minister fumio kishida said democracy will never yield to violence and election activities would continue. >> thanks so much. blake essig in tokyo. shinzo abe had a reputation as a skilled statesman able to get along with most other world leaders including former president donald trump. even earned him the nickname the trump whisperer for seeming to know how to navigate trump's unpredictable nature. >> let me put it to you this way prime minister abe recognized the incredible importance of the u.s.-japan relationship. the alliance that the two

countries have is critical to peace and stability in the asia pacific region. and the prime minister recognized that. and he recognized that it was important to deal with any president of the united states. so unlike some leaders in other countries, he did what he needed to do to maintain the relationship with trump, a different personality as you put it. and he was incredibly effective in that regard. and i think that had an immense positive impact on the relationship between our two countries. >> also said even though abe's assassination has shaken japan to the core, the country's strong and resilient and will get through it. as a relatively close neighbor australia has had a long and cooperative relationship with japan going back decades, and shinzo abe's role was critical. australia's new prime minister

spoke about abe's lasting impact on the region and the world. here he is. >> japan has lost a true patriot and a true leader. and australia has lost a true friend. mr. abe was a great statesman who made a difference. his vision of a free and open indo-pacific has had a profund effect on regional and global security even as the world shifted beneath our feet. mr. abe faced all of the challenges with a strength of character and an unbending resolve. he did not flinch. he did not weaken. >> nine british mps are now vying to replace boris johnson as conservative party leader and become the next prime minister. two former house secretaries launched bids saturday. who quit the post just tuesday

amid a wave. the third cabinet member to enter the contest, and there's also newly appointed finance minister. he joined the cabinet less than a year ago. one popular figure who says he won't seek the job, defense secretary ben wallace. he was widely expected to participate. all right, turning to the u.s. and the investigation of the capitol riots. a spokesman for the committee looking into the january 6th insurrection says it got, quote, critical testimony on friday. that's when a member of trump's inner circle, white house council, pat cipollone, spent hours testifying under oath. cnn's marshall cohen looks how important that testimony could be. >> donald trump's white house counsel pat sip lenny spent more than seven hours testifying to the january 6th select committee. now, that in its own right was a real breakthrough for the panel because cipollone had resisted doing a formal deposition for

more than a year, but he finally agreed to testify recently after a series of damaging revelations at previous public hearings. now, throughout his tenure as white house counsel cipollone often found himself pushing back against the more extreme members of donald trump's orbit. and he was a first-hand witness to several of the make-or-break moments where american democracy was on the line. for instance, cipollone was there when some of trump's outside advisers raised the idea of declaring martial law. he was there when some of trump's advisers encouraged him to use the military to seize voting machines. and cipollone was there when trump nearly appointed a well-known conspiracy theorist to look for unhinged voter fraud theories. perhaps most importantly, cipollone was in the white house on january 6th. as previous witnesses have testified about his desperate

efforts to stop trump from marching to the capitol. he also warned others inside the white house they would have blood on their hands if trump did not intervene during the violent insurrection. now, cipollone's deposition was videotaped, and the committee will get its first chance on today to publicly release some of the footage. tuesday's hearing is expected to focus on the far right extremist groups that were a huge part of trump's efforts to overturn the election. the oath keepers, the proud boys, the three percenters. many of their members stormed the capitol on january 6th. some have even been charged with sedition, an extremely serious crime. the hearings on tuesday will delve into the connections between these militants and some of the key players in donald trump's orbit. marshall cohen, cnn, washington. ukraine's second largest city shaken by powerful missile

hello, colonial penn?

ukraine says rescue efforts are under way after a deadly russian rocket attack in the east. at least six people are dead and five others injured after a rocket hit an apartment building in donetsk. six missiles hit the city of mykolaiv saturday. this video shows a huge crater where one missile fell apparently tearing a building to pieces. but ukrainians are hitting back at military target about 90 kilometers to the southeast. ukraine says it blew up russian military stockpiles at an airport near the city of

kherson. and further east almost the entire luhansk region is in russian hands. ukraine is trying to find temporary homes while up in the northeast ukraine says that was the moment a russian missile slammed into kharkiv on saturday injuring at least four people. ukraine has pushed russians away but russian artillery attacks have increased. and a cnn crew was at the scene right after that strike in kharkiv. alex marquardt saw the damage first-hand. >> reporter: this is what it looks and feels like these days to live in ukraine's second biggest city. it was a beautiful saturday morning here in kharkiv until 10:00 when the sound of a huge explosion just tore across this city. and this is where that russian strike happened. just look at the size of this

missile strike. it left a huge crater in one of the most central areas of the city. this is one of the most central strikes in recent weeks. we're in the inside courtyard of a two-story residential building. the force of the blast taking down the two floors of that house right there. we're told by a neighbor that the family that lives there thankfully had left. they now live in germany. and the authorities are saying no one was killed in the strike. there are, however, several wounded. one of them was a woman who lived right over there. she was caught under the rubble, and he actually called her daughter from under that rubble before she was taken away by rescuers to the hospital. we met her daughter when we got here to the scene. she was understandably very troubled. she was on the phone with her mother. she was picking up things for her mother to take to the hospital, her wheelchair, some clothes, and her pet bird. this is really just one example of what is -- of the kinds of

attacks that are falling all across ukraine. we have seen a significant spike in the shelling in the southern city of mykolaiv where there's heavy fighting between the russian and ukrainian sides. and then just south of us in donetsk where we're expecting the russians to make a major push in the future there's been an uptick in the russian attacks there. we're told by local authorities in donetsk at least five people were killed today in those russian strikes in the eastern province of donetsk. alex marquardt, cnn, kharkiv. >> meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state says he isn't buying china's claims its neutral in russia's war in ukraine. antony blinken left indonesia on saturday after meeting ministers after he spoke to his chinese counterpart for more than five hours in bali.

here is blinken after those talks in ukraine. >> you hear it's neutral. i would start with the ropsition it's pretty hard to be neutral when it comes to this aggression. there's a clear aggressor. there's a clear victim. there's a clear challenge not only to the lives and lively hoods to the people of ukraine. but there's a challenge to the international order that china and the units as permanent members of the security council are supposed to uphold. >> officials in highland park, illinois, are calling on their community to come together after a fourth of july mass shooting that killed seven people. cnn's camilla burr naul spoke to some of the residents. >> reporter: as a way to heal steve visits this makeshift memorial, takes pictures and talks. >> i just want to confront this -- this demon of carnage if you want to call it that. and for me to do it, i have to

come here. >> reporter: he's lived in highland park for 26 years, and on july 4th went to the parade with his wife and grandchildren. >> we were 50 feet from the shooter, and the easiest targets possible. and why we weren't shot i can't figure out. >> reporter: he heard the shots and ran, then saw the injuries and one of the dead. here he is on surveillance video. >> i just couldn't wrap my head around what had just happened. and i kept trying to figure it out. and i guess i'm still trying to figure out what makes somebody this evil. >> reporter: it's the question this entire community is trying to answer. >> for the first two days i would say am i still sleeping, is this a nightmare, like wake me up because it cannot feel real, and you go through these waves where you're like numb for a little bit and then you get angry and then feel guilty and

overwhelming satness and go back to feeling numb. like this isn't what happened. >> aly co-owned several businesses in the middle of the crime scene. all her stores are closed. >> before this all happened our street was meant to be a place that provided a safe and fun loving space for families, for kids. >> reporter: healing for her she says will come when she's allowed to reopen. >> we'll be able to re-claim it as this place of where we can all be together and be happy and feel together and just support one another. and little by little, in a business, in a neighborhood, and in a makeshift memorial members of this community showing their strength. >> i will heal. i will absolutely heal. >> reporter: and that's exactly what many of the residents of highland park were doing here at this rally, coming together to honor and remember the victims but also to demand action,

specifically legislative action because they stay that is what comes next. cnn, highland park, illinois. high kim brunhuber. for those in the u.s. and canada i'll be back with "cnn newsroom" in a moment. for the rest of the world, "inside africa" is next.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." while the world might be done with covid-19 it's certainly not done with us. on wednesday the world health organization said global covid cases increased 32% over the past two weeks driven by the ba.4 and ba.5 subvariants. it says about 100,000 new cases

were reported over the past two weeks. the ba.5 subvariant has become the dominant form of covid in the u.s. as case numbers head in the wrong direction. cnn's jacqueline howard breaks it down for us. >> reporter: as the coronavirus spreads we can expect to see more variants and subvariants like ba.5 emerge. according to the cdc data ba.5 is causing more than half, 53.6%, of infections in the united states. and other variants circulating right now causing 27.2% of infections. ba.4 causing 16.5%. and ba.2 causing 2.8%. and these subvariants are circulating at a time when nearly a third of the u.s. population lives in a county with covid-19 community levels that the cdc considers to be

high. those counties with a high level are spread across many major u.s. regions like new york city, houston's harris county, miami-dade county, and las vegas's clark county. so even though our lives are returning to normal, this is just a reminder that the virus is still out there. >> abortion rights supporters rallied in washington this weekend calling on leaders to do everything they can to protect access to the procedure. house democrats will introduce two bills this week, and the president signed an executive order friday. he also said abortion rights advocates must do one thing overwhelmingly in november, vote. jeremy diamond is traveling with the president. >> reporter: one day after president biden signed an executive order seeking to protect women's access to reproductive health care protests from abortion rights activists continuing including in front of the white house. now, the president he wasn't

there. he's here in rehoboth beach, delaware for the weekend. but it's very clear for that growing call from abortion rights activists to do more not abating despite the new executive order. that's largely because the new executive order the president siped friday at the white house does direct the secretary of health and human services to take steps to protect action to medication abortion, try to protect patient privacy and security. it also establishes a new interagency task force that will include the health and human services secretary as well as the attorney general, but many of these steps are fairly vague, and they also include actions at the president and hhs secretary have already underliepned. and that's why you're seeing still a lot of frustration. the white house's head of the gender policy counsel, she made very clear on friday that they understand those frustrations but their power has limits. >> i know it feels frustrating because we're taking action and

then asking for more action. you can't solve by executive action what the supreme court has done. the supreme court has taken away a constitutional right that was precedent for nearly 50 years. and i think we all need to be mindful. he's very mindful, we're all mindful that can't be solved by executive action alone. >> and that is ultimately the president's message as well, one we heard from him friday where he made clear, look, he's taking steps amid this pressure from abortion rights activists and of course his party's base. but at the end of the day he believes it's up to voters to get out in november and elect more pro-choice democrats to congress who are willing to carve out the filibuster and then try and codify the rights that were previously enshrined in roe v. wade to ensure women do have access to abortion across the country. jeremy diamond, cnn, traveling with the president in rehoboth beach, delaware. >> and brian todd was in

washington and has more on the demonstrations. >> reporter: a series of rainstorms did not stop hundreds of people from gathering here in washington to protest the decision by the supreme court to overturn roe v. wade. several hundred people gathered here in franklin square park in downtown washington then marched over to the white house en masse. they were briefed by protest leaders when they got to the white house if they wanted to risk arrest they could press against the white house fence, and several of them did. some of them even tied themselves to the white house fence briefly and then untied themselves and moved on. we did not witness any arrests. the protests were peaceful. no disturbance and no arrests we saw. the concerns these protesters voiced to us mostly were, one, that the overturning of roe is not going to be the end of efforts by the supreme court to go after reproductive rights. they're really concerned if the right case comes up before the court that the justices, the

conservative justices will use that case as a means to try to curb other reproductive rights. that's a big concern. another is safety. we had a couple of abortion rights protesters here tell us the overturning of roe v. wade will mean abortion ends in the country. it just makes it more unsafe. also privacy issues, protecting the privacy of women who travel to different states and also abortion providers who provide abortions in those states that still allow it. so these are things still on their minds, and now it's a matter of weighing strategy. even with the biden administration's executive order signed on friday trying to provide more access to emergency contraception and things like that, there's enough vagary there in how some of that is going to be implemented. there are mixed signals on the u.s. economy. just ahead after a stellar u.s.

jobs report on friday we'll find out why economists fear a recession might be on the horizon. stay with us. pre-rinsing your dishes? you could be using the wrong detergent. and wasting up to 20 gallons of water. skip the rinse with finish quantum. its actitivelift technology provides an unbeatable clean on 24 hour dried-on stains. skip the rinse with fininish to save our water.

best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist the latest u.s. economic numbers paint a contradictory picture. the labor department announced friday the u.s. economy added 372,000 jobs in june. that's more than analysts expected. the current unemployment rate is at 3.6% and closer to the 52-year low it hit before the pandemic. the strongest job gains came from the professional and business services. leisure and hospitality and the health care industry as well as child care. but tempering that robust news, inflation is at at 40-year high creating higher prices from everything from gas to groceries, and the president says he understands people are feeling the pinch. here he is.

>> i know times are tough, prices are too high, families are facing the cost of the living crunch, but today's economic news confirms the fact my economic plan is moving this country in a better direction. we still have a lot of work to do. i am suggesting we're making significant progress. >> so even with the red hot jobs numbers, many economists predict a period of economic unease amid growing fears that a recession is looming. >> we're living in a very different difficult time, very challenging time. i don't think it's very difficult to predict what a recession will look like if we are in a recession. i know we're seeing wage group. obviously it's not keeping up with inflation, but if we bring inflation down, the wage group is good. >> americans could soon get some relief pumping gas after u.s. bench mark crude oil prices took a tumble despite climb back above $100 a barrel they still

were down for a week. analysts believe the national average price for regular gas could fall 15 to 20 cents in the coming weeks. analysts say this could be due to fears of a recession bringing demand down. meanwhile u.s. president joe biden says he hasn't decided whether he'll lift trump era tariffs on china. the tariffs apply a 20% duty on billions of chinese goods. but china's behavior hasn't changed and the biden administration says beijing hasn't upheld agreements on purchasing u.s. agriculture products included in the trump era trade deal. and for more on the state of the economy joining us now is ryan patel, a senior fellow with the director school of management at claremont graduate university. thanks for being with us. it seems the numbers are just all over the place. some of them suggesting we're sliding into recession. others seem to show the economy has recovered, even booming. like the fact that the gdp is

down, the jobs are up. i mean what's happening here? >> it's a multiple indicator. everyone looks at the labor market, and i'm not saying it's a bad thing but it typically is lagging indicator. it shows the market is resilient. as for the gdp it's two quarters lagging. the common definition technically is a recession so that is one. really inindicator we need to be watching on top of all this is the consumer price index. part of the job market is great, obviously finance and technology and investments -- well investment sectors have been up. it's very interesting to see how the consumer pricing is going to be going forward. >> yeah, absolutely. so, you know, with all of this confusion we're hearing conflicting things as well from the experts. we just heard a clip from president biden, the white house boasting about how strong the

economy is and the former imf chief economist said it's almost impossible to get it down without pushing inflation into recession. which story do you believe here? >> het me be clear, i believe this next fed meeting will be a 0.75% rate hike. it is going to show -- i will be shocked if they're not going to be aggressive. kim, when they're showing this aggressive what does that mean? that means the economy needs it. they're trying to put pressure to slow it down. christopher waller said this quote which i think stands out to me. do big rate hikes when the economy is strong and the labor market can take it. this is the strong window the fed has to be this aggressive and try to get ahead of what is maybe deemed potentially over the feks few months the job market is going to slow down and consumer spending is going to slow down. we're definitely seeing inflation has hit the lower income households especially

bank of america's credit card and debit card data shows spending among that sector fell over 1% year over year, and we all know the economy draws over two thirds of growth from the consumers. >> what's it going to take to feel confident we're actually heading in the right direction here? >> that there's no more mixed signals. let's be clear before the pandemic it was clear what specters were growing, why it wasn't growing. right now we are seeing job losses, we're seeing investments incompetence, we see the stock market going up and down because of the lack of confidence. and part of what needs to be moving forward, kim, all of us is the strong indicator from the data spending, the strong indicator how the economy is going to look like globally with some stability. and we're not having that still because we are seeing oil prices go up and down. we're seeing still at the grocery level that prices are inflated. supply chain is still a mess.

the consumers are paying for it, so to me if we're still paying for this increasing in pricing it's not back to normal. and wi think we need to see tha more. truthfully, kim, it's going to be a little bumpy because we're not going to see that flip of a switch. >> the global outlook here the head of the imf said she couldn't rule out a possible global recession next year. so even if biden and the fed pull all the right levers here, how much are we held hostage by other factors like, you know, the chinese economic slow down and russia's war? >> kim, i'm so glad you asked me that because you can only control who you can control, but we've seen anything even before the pandemic trade bwars, conflicts, euro inflation, deflation from the crisis in italy. all those make an impact, so all it takes, unfortunately, how fragile the system is right now is another conflict. or, you know, the economy and china is a good example where we -- the whole global economy,

the number two economy in the world needs to be backfiring on all cylinders so companies and businesses can get back to catching up on those growth percentages. you can't make up a double digit growth by doing single digits in general. so to me i think you're right. i think we're all watching. this is going to be -- i hate to use the hashtag, in it together -- that we all have to be able to grow together at that clip. otherwise it's going to be a slow process. and i think that's what most people are expecting. kim, you and are hoping, we'll all be able to come together and take mat supply chain crisis, trade war crisis, consumer spending war back together because everyone is getting back. >> ryan patel, thank you so much for joining us. really appreciate it. >> thank you, kim. historic firsts at wimbledon as the women's singles winner
