testify after months of refusals. sue france it frantic rescue efforts in ukraine after a russian strike on an apartment building leaves nearly 20 people dead, and others trapped under the rubble. [ music ] forcemac by from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with rosemary church. penn is set to begin a two day farewell to former leader shinzo abe. this is where his body will be arriving at the temple, where a private wake will begin two hours from now. his funeral service will be held tuesday afternoon. us secretary of state anthony blinken made a scheduled trip

to tokyo to pay his respects. >> during his time to dohfoz during his time in office, he took our country to new heights . as i shared with our colleagues, we saw in him somewhat rare, someone with a vision and the ability to realize that vision. i came at his behest, more than allies, we are friends. when a friend is hurting, other friends show up. >> meanwhile, new details are emerging about the suspect and what he is telling police, including information about the weapons he used, and how he learns to make them. all this against the backdrop of sunday's election. nh cases the ruling liberal democratic party, of which shinzo abe was a member, have

one big at the ballot box, securing 63 seats, more than half the seats at stake in the upper house. our reporter, blake, is in tokyo. what more are you learning about the planned wake, and the farewell of this beloved leader ? >> rosemary, we are still outside the temple in central tokyo. later on tonight, it closed door vigil is set to take place in preparation. the hearse arrived about one hour ago, carrying the body of shinzo abe. by not hearse, dozens of attendees, some carrying flowers and hitting toward the temple. this is also where the funeral service will be held tomorrow afternoon for the assassinated former japanese prime minister. few details have emerged about the memorial services, other

than that it is expected to involve close friends and family. the guest list does not include the emperor or any members of the royal family, who have no plans to attend. despite proceedings being closed off to the public, we expect to see a lot of people gathering to pay respects. but it really hasn't happened. we have been outside for several hours, and really there have just been journalists out here, a couple of people have come by to ask why the cameras were set up. it is clear many people don't know, which highlights the intimacy of these proceedings, and the suddenness with which these proceedings were put together. of course that could change, but it is playing out to be quite a different scene than what we saw over the weekend, and saturday, when the body of shinzo abe was taken close to his home and hundreds of people started lining the streets of

this quiet residential neighborhood just to catch a glimpse of the motorcade. people brought flowers, letting them inside and next to his home, to pay respects for the controversial but hugely popular former prime minister. >> certainly shocked a nation. what more are we learning about the suspect, blake ? >> public broadcasters in nhk are saying that he was targeted because he held a grudge against a group that they had ties to, and that his mother was actually linked to. local police would not provide any information on this group. as for the homemade weapon used to kill the former prime minister, the alleged gunman may have tested it at a certain groups facility. police refused to name the

group, but did say they believe the suspect's car was caught on security cameras close to where the weapon was tested. the suspect watched youtube videos to help make the guns, and he practiced with weapons in the mountains in the days before the assassination, with the same weapons used to assassinate shinzo abe, they were made with iron pipe barrels wrapped in duct tape. the us house select committee and receiving the january 6 insurrection will hold its next hearing on tuesday. they plan to focus on the role extremist groups played in the capital right. a former spokesperson for the far right antigovernment group the of keepers is expected to testify. this comes as trump ally steve annan, who defied congressional subpoena, now says he is willing to testify before the

committee. herschel cohen has details. >> stephen bannon, one of former president donald trump's staunchest and most controversial allies now says he is willing to testify to the january 6 select committee. he made an announcement in a letter to the panel this weekend after months of stonewalling. he was subpoenaed last year, but refused to turn over documents or sit for a deposition, he claimed he could not do that because of executive privilege. the justice department was not buying it, because executive privilege only applies to those serving in the executive branch, unlike steve benton, who left in 2018. he was charged with contempt of congress and his criminal trial is set to begin next week. his new offer about potentially testifying could be an attempt to try to undermine the prosecutor's case.

he says he would like to testify at a public hearing. some many members have already indicated that they want him to be dohfoz to do a private deposition. some legal experts are very skeptical of his motivations with his trial fast approaching. we should learn more about this in the coming days. we should find out how everything shakes out. the january 6 committee is living ahead with the next major public hearing, scheduled for tuesday, focusing on the role of right-wing extremist groups, and how they embrace donald trump's lies about the 20/20 election, and how they planned to violently disrupt the transfer of power to president joe biden. dozens of members of the of keepers and proud boys stormed the capital on january 6, some

of them face sedition charges. members of the committee say they are going to use this hearing to connect the dots between these militants at donald trump's inner circle. marshall cohen, cnn, washington. we are following a new push for gun reform in the us state of texas. the commissioners in youth all day, where a deadly school shooting took place, they are sitting to consider a resolution, asking the governor to call a special session of the state legislature to raise the minimum purchase age for semi automatic and assault style rifles from 18 years old up to 21. this comes as families and residents continue to mourn the loss of 19 students at and two teachers killed at the elementary school. some teachers marched in a rally as part of a new push for

answers following the police response to the shooting. meanwhile, texas state lawmakers investing the response to the school shooting may release a preliminary report within the next 10 days. the streets of downtown highland park, illinois, reopened on sunday just after six days after a mass shooting killed six people and injured dozens more. residents react with the range of emotions. >> so many people have been out and about since that police tape came down. and look, a lot of people are walking up and down the street. a lot of the stores are still closed. others are sitting down, processing, talking, having a moment of silence or saying a prayer. this is difficult for a lot of

people. right behind me is the building where the shooter was when he opened fire into the crowd. right across the street from that building is another growing memorial. you can see the faces of all of the victims, more flowers, more candles, balloons, more people honoring and remembering the victims. there are a lot of people who are processing this differently. i spoke to one mother who was here, and she described her process. >> what i'm doing, i'm evolving, i'm not healing, there is a new me that is coming out of this and embracing this pain, embracing the newness of this, that is hugging this community closer, and is speaking louder, and i'm going to do that through acts of love, and i'm going to do that with my voice. >> and a lot of people are voicing a desire for change. among them, the governor of illinois, who says he wants to

see changes in three different areas. he wants a ban on assault weapons. he says there has to be changes when it comes to high-capacity magazines. he says nobody should have 90 bullets at the ready. he also says he wants to see changes in red flag laws. he talked about motive, and among the evidence is a symbol of white supremacy. he says he does not know if the shooter targeted a specific group. ukraine's second-largest city coming under fire this morning, officials say at least three russian missiles hit the city within the past few hours. that included a strike on a residential building, and a school. this as the death toll rises after an attack on an apartment holding in the eastern donuts region. ukrainian officials say at least 18 people were killed, six others were rescued, and a crew said they made contact with two people still trapped under the rubble.

those who carried out the attack will be met with justice, according to the ukrainian resident. >> nazi murderers were brought to justice even at 90 years old. they are caught all over the world. we don't want to wait that long. punishment will come to every russian murderer. a precise hit on a russian military target, russian state media reported explosions in the sky, but it says they were called dohfoz caused by air defense systems. and ukraine is condemning canada's decision to return a repaired turbine for a gas pipeline, ukraine says it sets it dangerous precedent that

will allow russia to continue weapon rising energy supplies. and for more on all this, we want to bring in scott mclean. good to see you, scott. we are learning new information on the rescue efforts, what more are you learning ? >> from the last update late yesterday, we know that three more people have been pulled out of the rubble, dead. one more person has been remarkably able to be pulled out alive. they still have contact with two people under the rubble. they are able to hear their voices and communicate with them, they just don't have a way to get to them. they have removed a remarkable amount of rubble from that area. but of course, it is a delicate operation, moving the rubble, to perhaps get a road in and down to where these people may be trapped, without disturbing things, without causing further

collapse. when you look at these pictures, it is remarkable to even believe anyone could possibly have survived as this entire building collapsed into a pile of concrete and rebar. the scary thing is, local officials say preliminary guesses show that there could be 22 people under the rubble. it's not clear how many they think are potentially alive. among that numbers people who may have been in the building at the time, including a nine- year-old boy. keep in mind this area is still at war, the ukrainians say chasiv yar was hit by shelling again last night, thankfully not the same area as this apartment building. in units, the shelling does not stop. it does not appear the russians have been able to move

the front d villages. of the 49 or so things that were hit, most were residential sites. this dohfoz they noted it was remarkable no one was killed where only and 86 rolled woman was pulled out of the rubble of an apartment building. and in the southern parts of the country, people have been warned in several regions to get out and evacuate if they can. frankly it is not always easy to get out from russian held areas. >> it is a horrifying situation. scott, many thanks. pr home. they are using the gym, taking tools, even having picnics on the grounds.

more on the political uncertainty facing the country, next. british conservatives are gearing up for a leadership race to choose the man or woman who will replace boris johnsnso we will look at some of the contenders, just ahead. [ music ] forcemac r. (moo) mabel l says for you, it's more likike 5:15. man: mom, really?

sri lanka is fake facing unprecedented political crisis, and protesters are occupying the residences of the president and prime minister and say they won't leave until the officials resign. they are enjoying the luxuries most can only dream of. >> reporter: the many protesters in sri lanka roaming the halls of the presidential residence they've occupied since saturday . for them, this is the good life. a chance for many who cannot afford to purchase food or fuel to live like kings at least for a short while.

armed security guards stood outside, but did not stop the curious from taking a look inside the palace. this man says he brought his family to enjoy a technique on the grounds. he says i got a chance with my kids to go and have lunch here, adding it is once-in-a-lifetime. this is, after all, how the president lived while the country suffered through an economic meltdown with soaring inflation, shortages of critical supplies, and rolling blackouts. conditions have sparked months of protests that led to saturday's extraordinary show of people power, with more than 100,000 protesters flooding the streets of colombo. a massive public display that finally forced the president to give into the demands. the country speaker of parliament announcing the president will resign on wednesday, the prime minister saying he will also step down. the protesters say promises are not enough, they will not leave

until both officially resign. >> we do not trust him anymore, he has already broken the countries trust. he has already sold our countries. >> it could be a turning point, if there is a leadership change, but even if that happens, economic troubles are far from over and could take years to reverse. it will be a heavy lift for whoever takes power next. while the country remains in political limbo, many protesters say they will continue to enjoy the luxuries of the house with a warning for the next occupant. he says politicians should understand the power of the people, and this is the maximum of it. michael holmes, cnn. the british conservative party committee will meet to elect

new members who will set out a timetable for the leadership race that will determine the next prime minister. bids have been launched for the top spot, including foreign secretary and former health sec. former health sec. boris johnson resigned last week but remains as caretaker prime minister. the opposition labor party will bring a vote of no confidence as soon as monday if he is not removed. i spoke with dominic thomas and asked which of the many contenders of the best chance of eventually replacing boris johnson. let's take a look. >> this will be quite a race. they had one in 2016 and here we go again in 2022. there are a couple races going on. there is a race for the new leader, who will end up being a minister. there is also a very large field.

we will know by early next week when the race gets underway, probably on tuesday, and how far we get to 10, 11, 12, and even higher. those who are running our positioning themselves hoping that ultimate endorsements will be eliminated with each round of voting, and they can position themselves for future cabinet jobs. we've certainly seen that play out in these elections before. it is interesting to look at the candidates that are not running, that raises serious questions, the current deputy minister is not in the race and defense secretary ben wallace was considered a front runner in the early days of last week. i think that tells us a lot about whether the party is genuinely interested in finding a new leader that would potentially unite the party and take them into the 20/25 election, or whether this is really aimed at mitigating damage. to that extent, i think the most

likely candidates to emerge are these major players that are currently in the cabinet, you mentioned some of them already, but also the trade secretary, the former chancellor, high- profile figures. there are also some bench players there, and i think there is a dick's discrepancy between the membership of the conservative party to ultimately vote and select these candidates. it will be interesting to see as they are gradually bring down. many muslims celebrated the feast of sacrifice amid skyrocketing inflation. soaring costs in turkey forced many to sacrifice their usual plans this year.

as americans row patient over spiraling inflation in the white house is considering lifting tariffs on china. us president joe biden said he had not made a decision yet, adding he wanted to go through them one at a time. the hope is that this could help curb rising prices for consumers, just in time for the november midterm elections. the white house does not have a timeline on the announcement, gina raimondo explains white she thinks lifting trump era

tariffs make sense. >> lifting tariffs is not going to bring down topline inflation in a very significant way. what i will do, potentially, is help consumers uncertain on household goods. for that reason it could make sense to do it. if he decides to lift certain tariffs, it will be because he knows he has to do everything he possibly can to provide relief to consumers. but he's going to do it in a thoughtful and strategic way. >> in the united states, inflation is at a 40 year high, creating higher prices from everything from gas to groceries. inflation in turkey reached almost 80% in june, its highest level in almost 2 decades. soaring prices are making celebrations considerably more

expensive. after two years of pandemic restrictions, the sacrificial market in is simple is coming back to life. this is a time muslims traditionally purchase and slaughter sheep and cattle and share the meet with those in need. often it is seen people haggling, and cutting deals. but the economy makes it hard to celebrate, with skyrocketing inflation, and sellers struggling to keep up. >> feeding them is expensive, he says. the cost of medicine, and trucks to come here, it is expensive it and there is the rent we pay for this place. business is getting harder. the cost is about $230, in a country where the minimum wage

is just over 300 us us$300 dohfoz a tradition he wants to keep it alive, but rising costs left him no choice but to shudder his business last week and lay off his 20 employees. over the past 26 years in business, i witnessed every crisis, he says, but nothing like this. it's like a fire burning people. that fire is turkey's worst inflation in more than 20 years, the official rate hit nearly 80% in june, but many believe in reality, it is much higher than that. the government has raised the minimum wage twice since december, but with the cost of pretty much everything continued to rise, people say it is impossible to keep up. the cost of food, everyday

staples, nearly doubling in a year, making traditional delights out of reach for many. this family will give up the traditional tray of baklava this year, they can barely afford necessities these days. this couple tells us high costs have taken away the joy of shopping. no new clothes for the children this year, just the basics. the hardest part for these devout muslims is not being able to afford a sheep to sacrifice. rising global energy costs, the war of ukraine, and the turkish lira dropping to half its value this year. and many attribute this to policies. this man

tells us he only has enough money to purchase secondhand shoes. a loaf of bread is five lira, tomorrow it will be six, he says. few will talk about who they blame. they will likely take their grievances next year, and that could cost the president. for now, it is ordinary turks will continue to bear the brunt of this troubled economy. a protest over frozen bank deposits in china. just ahead, a local banking scandal sparks nationwide outcry. we w will have a report from beijing in just a moment. [ mumusic ] left a ahhhhhhh listerine. feel the whoa!

welcome back, everyone. a massive protest over frozen bank deposits turned violent in

china. for more on this, i'm joined in patient by our correspondent, stephen. this local outbreak has caused nationwide outcry. what is going on? >> reporter: it was shocking to see more than 1000 people show up at this government building demanded their money back. the authorities have been hell- bent to prevent this from happening, even trying to tamper with health qr codes. that effort failed after triggering a nationwide let backlash. demonstrators trained their fire at local authorities, burning national flags and chanting slogans, accusing the local police of using violence against them, but peaceful tactics did not make protest

last long. hundreds of security personnel, many plainclothes agents included, charging toward the crowd. anyone who resisted got kicked and punched, some sustaining minor injuries. the protesters actions have struck a chord, with many people around the country, because they are mostly low income people who have their life savings poured into these banks, because of their faith in the banking system. instead they lost everything, and of course this is happening at a time when the economy here is already being battered by the harsh enforcement of the zero covid policy, at a politically sensitive year when the supreme leader is expected to take an unprecedented 30 year term. authorities are taking extreme action, because they are worried about a tinderbox situation. they simply don't want to see

any sparks that could spark even more anger across china. >> for those of you here in the us and canada, i will be back with more cnn newsroom in just a moment. for the rest of our international viewers, inside africa is next . the doubt, the pain. no matter r what, we go on. biofreeze.

us president joe biden spent his weekend at his home in delaware. this as protesters came together, furious over the overturning of roe v wade. truck president biden spent his weekend at his beach house in delaware. this weekend we saw protest

from abortion-rights activists and president joe biden taking a moment to come in on some of those protests, encouraging abortion-rights activists to continue to make their rights and voices heard. >> keep protesting, it is critically important. we can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women , in the meantime. but fundamentally, the only thing that is going to change this is if we have a national law, that is the bottom line. the only way we do that is through the election in the united states congress. the ultimate goal is to reinstate roe v wade as a national law bypassing it in united states congress, and i will sign it the moment that happens. >> the president making a fundamental point that what he needs is boaters to go out and elect more pro-choice democrat so he can codify abortion-

rights into law. the president in the meantime is taking executive action, he signed an executive order on friday that seeks to safeguard women's access to report of healthcare, also taking steps to text women's privacy and safety at abortion clinics, that is something the president talked about again on sunday, but ultimately making clear on sunday that he can take some piecemeal steps to try and help the current situation, but ultimately he will need congress to act, and that is where voters come in, this november. senate majority leader chuck schumer has tested positive for covid-19. a spokesperson says he has very mild symptoms, he is fully vaccinated and double posted. the new york immigrant lens to isolate and work remotely this week as the senate returns to

washington after the fourth of july recess. new versions of the omicron variant are fueling a summer surge in the united states. health officials are urging many americans to return to masking indoors. according to johns hopkins and the cdc, coronavirus infections nationwide are up by 6%, with more than 100,000 new cases reported each day over the past two weeks. earlier i spoke with a cardiologist and professor of molecular medicine at scripps research. i asked him about the sudden rise of covid cases in the states and the cdc suggestion to return to indoor mask wearing. >> we've already seen a 20% increase in hospitalization. this has worsened. it is disproportionate. we have capitulated to the

situation of the virus. what is in store is that like what has happened with this buyer virus variant, we will see escalating numbers of cases, and more hospitalizations. one good thing is it does not appear to be accompanied by icu admissions and deaths as previous variance. but this is concerning. >> this variant is so contagious, even when people have three or four vaccine shots, they are still getting infected with covid. as you point out, most are avoiding hospitalization, serious hospitalization or death. some feel that recovering from the infection is like getting another booster shot. they don't see any harm in getting infected in the first

place. what would you say to those people? >> this is a key point, rosemary. this variant is so distinct from ba one omicron, throughout the world their work common infections. they do not protect from ba five. this is crucial. this variant is so unrecognizable compared to previous versions of the virus. gearing up with high-quality masks and air filtration, ventilation, all of these are critically important. that's how we can increase protection.>> when someone recovers from this variant, how long might it be before they potentially get infected again? do we know that at this junction ? >> we don't know that. a very interesting report came out today from australia.

the infectivity of the ba five is enhanced impaired to prior omicron virus, much can to delta , which is able to get into cells and get into the lungs better. this is concerning, it can last longer, instead of the average of five days, it could be 12, even 15 days to clear it. the clearance of the virus, because of markedly increased copies, is increased. that is what we are dealing with right now. lakeside beach in iowa is temporarily closed after a swimmer was hospitalized with a rare brain eating amoeba. it is most often found in lakes, rivers, and ponds. the amoeba can infect people when contaminated water enters

is going to do. that potential damage to helicopters or fixed wings is extensive. >> let alone the danger to firefighters on the ground. unauthorized drones can stop the crucial dropping a fire retardant on a blaze. >> it continues to grow and get bigger, and threaten homes, property, the environment.>> reporter: los angeles county fire is going on the offensive, partnering with the fbi in if first of its kind drone deterrent program that can hone in on drones in seconds. >> when it identifies the drone and operator location, we can very rapidly get that information to a ground intercept team, who can then go make contact with the drone operator. >> i set this up so i will be notified if a drone crosses within the location, and it is very accurate. speed, direction, elevation, where it took off from, and where it is standing.

>> the first thing we do is order them to bring the drone back, and explained to them that flying that drone during a wildland fire is a federal felony. clueless, careless, or criminal. we will either issue a citation or warn them not to do it, the majority of people are happy to comply. >> los angeles county fire employees drones to counter places, helping to scout fires and target hotspots. >> we can do a 360b0 lap around the fire and in point where it is without having to put firefighters in harms way.>> reporter: optimally from up to 200 feet away, watching this demonstration for cnn as the high definition camera to text the temperature of the fire, and
