stories. we need to acknowledge them in this place. we need to make sure that just like ghana, sierra leone and others, this is a place black folks come from. somebody get my harmonica. i feel a song coming on. xxxxx . hello and welcome to our viewers joining us. just ahead, systemic failures. a damn report to the police response to the shooting in uvalde, texas. plus the video given to cnn that shows the chaotic actions of authorities. and shake-up in kyiv. ukraine's president fires two top officials, accusing them of collaborating with the russians as the war rages on.

plus, blazing temperatures in britain, prompting the first ever red extreme warning in the u.k. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with lynda kinkaid. >> begin with the latest on more gun violence in the united states. another mass shooting in the u.s. state of indiana on sunday. it happened hours after texas officials released a scathing political report on the you valid school shooting that resulted in the deaths of 19 students and 2 teachers. three people were killed and two others injured during a shooting in a shopping mall in indianapolis, indiana. the local police chief revealed

some information about the suspected gunman. >> we have an adult male shooter. we have not identified him yet. we do not have a motive yet. it appears he had a rifle with several rounds of ammunition. entered the food court and began shooting. take a listen to this witness' horrifying account of the shooting. >> we heard four gunshots and i looked up and i thought the carousel across from old navy was breaking down. next thing you know you hear six more shots and you see everybody runs. it was very scary, very dramatic. lots of crying not knowing where the shooter was coming from. >> the suspected gunman was killed by a 22-year-old described as a good samaritan with a handgun that was inside the mall. the victims are believed to be

aged in their 20s and 30s. the police are still investigating what led up to that shooting. >> well, more now on the newly released report into the uvalde scoot shooting that left two teachers and 29 children dead. it outlines a series of failures by multiple law enforcement agencies describing, quote, systemic failures and egregious poor decision-making. it was compiled by a texas news agency. texas state representative said it proved law enforcement should have done more on that terrible day. >> if you know and the training and standards we set for officers is if you know there is active shooting, active killing going on or somebody is dying, the standard is you have to continue to do something to stop

that killing or stop that dying. that day, several officers in the hallway or in that building knew or should have known there was dying in that classroom, and they should have done more, acted with urgency, trying the door handles. >> well, families of the victims at robb elementary got copies of that damning report before it was made public, and they were able to ask questions of the investigators. uvalde mayor don mclaughlin was furious at the findings. >> this investigation has been slow leaks here and there, little snippets here and there. just like when they said the officer had a chance to shoot the shooter. that was not true. and they finally admitted that. it was not true. but that's the kind of stuff that has gone on constantly. the only people being blind sided by that is these families.

let me put it this way. this has been the worst professionally run investigation. i have never seen anything of this magnitude. >> well, now we have a troubling new look at the official response. cnn was granted exclusive access to body cam footage from the scene. more on that. but we must warn you what you are about to see is disturbing and contains strong language. >> oh, shit! shots fired! get inside! go, go, go! >> shot in the head. >> reporter: new body cam video released by the uvalde mayor shows the frantic first moments. this video as he made his way inside the building. but within moments, more s gunshots. >> shots fired inside the building. >> which building?

take cover, guys. >> after taking cover outside, sergeant coronado gives his first update on the situation to responding officers. >> okay, guys. he's armed inside this building. we have him contained. he's going to be on the building on the west side of the property. careful with the windows facing east, right there. >> minutes later, he tells dispatch what he believes is happening, that the gunman is in one of the school's offices, not a classroom. >> in the school on the west side of the building. he's contained. we got multiple officers inside the building at this time. we believe he's barricaded in one of the -- one of the offices. they're still shooting. >> as the minutes continue to tick by, the urgency first seen by the initial response fades away. instead uvalde police officers are seen hunkers down waiting

for more backup. critical moments pass by at a time children were still alive in the classroom. at one point, you can hear the sergeant asking for permission to open a door into the hallway where armed officers are already insided. >> officers inside the building. am i clear to open the door here on the south side of the building? >> it is after this moment we learn that uvalde police chief pete arredondo is inside the building, as other officers crowd around looking for guidance. arredondo has been a central figure in the state's investigation of the shooting. steve mccraw calling his actions on the day of the massacre a, quote, abject failure. as more officers arrive and more inaction, you can hear police begin to seek direction. >> what are we doing here? >> we also have video from officer mendoza who also arrived on the scene.

at 11:58 police helped students and teachers escape the building. at the same time sergeant coronado can be seen helping children escape from a window. it had been 25 minutes since police first entered the building. 12 minutes later, we get our first glimpse of chief arredondo in the hallway. you can hear him pleading with the gunman to give up, but seemingly unaware that children may still be inside in the classroom. >> let me know. are there any kids in there or anything? this could be peaceful. could you tell me your name, anything i can help, please. >> moments later, a critical piece of the puzzle when the camera of officer mendoza, 911 dispatch gives a chilling account from a student still in the classroom. >> what was that? >> room 12.

he is in the room full of victims. full of victims at this moment. >> yet, even with that information, six minutes go by without any sort of response. then arredondo with a set of keys trying and failing to make entry into a classroom near where the gunman is barricaded. eventually handing the keys off to another officer who does make entry. more heavily armored officers arrive. suddenly, a new round of gunfire. but after those gunshots, arredondo again tries to talk with the shooter. >> can you hear me, sir? >> and again minutes later -- >> sir, if you can hear me, please put your firearm down, sir. we don't want anybody else hurt. >> i know. i know. >> that's what we're doing. >> after no response police still stand around without much urgency. over the course of the next 30 minutes, we see more officers

arrive. the video obtained by cnn cuts out moments before the police breach the classroom and kill the shooter at 12:51 local time. by that time, many children and their two teachers were dead. cnn, uvalde, texas. steve mueller is a retired special agent is the fbi. he joins me now from los angeles. steve, this report was absolutely damning, systemic failures by multiple groups, the school, the police, the shooter's family. it was damning but sadly not entirely surprising given that we already knew the police took over an hour to get to the gunman. and we knew the gunman's father helped him get a gun, despite him making threats to kill his own family. what happened in this report? >> like you said, we kind of already knew the outcome of

this. we were just trying to learn how it could have possibly happened. and i'm kind of stunned and listening to the officers in that hallway, they -- keep in mind, i'm career law enforcement, son of a career law enforcement person. i want to come here and say the police here risked their lives. they did all this. i can't say that. the police here, they -- they didn't understand. arredondo didn't understand what was going on. he was giving no leadership and the point of the whole thing is to trade your safety as an armed, trained law enforcement officer for the lives of defenseless children. and instead they prioritized their own safety over the lives of the kids. >> it's horrible to watch that video we just saw. and despite the gravity of the

situ situation, just by the number of responders, they weren't in a place for this situation. a situation that isn't typical in the u.s. texas has more registered gun owners than any other state. why was there not a robust response, no clear plan? >> well, there is a clear plan. see, that's the huge tragedy of this. there is a nationwide agreed upon plan on how to address active shooters. and arredondo himself had written -- had written his department's policy on this. arredondo had been trained in this. every officer there, i would really be surprised if there was an officer there who hadn't been trained in this. everybody knew what they had to do and nobody, for whatever reason, nobody did it. and the procedure is simply this. you go to the sound of the

gunshots and you end the gunshots. you know, he was saying, well, we didn't have radios. we didn't have shields. you never had shields. you never even trained with shields. they slowed you down. you never used radios because if you were coming down the hallway and the radio hissed or static came out like you were hearing in the hallways there, it gives away your position. you don't need a radio to do active shooter response. you need your ears. get a loaded gun. go to the sound of the shots and stop the gunfire. >> the uvalde school district police started in 2018. take us through their role. where did they fail? >> this is what i don't understand. you have nine schools in the district and you only have six officers. why did they form a department? why didn't they say unified or

whatever it was, give their officers to uvalde city police so that they could have enough officers to at least cover the schools? the problem here is that chief arredondo of the uvalde unified school district police took charge of a situation where he was so far -- was so far over his head and nobody, nobody -- nobody usurped it. nobody said, you know, you have got to do something else. i was astounded to find the uvalde police swat team commander was one of the first arrivals. why wasn't he put in charge of this? why didn't he take over this situation and say, we have to go in. that's what we have agreed nationwide what we need to do. and there is -- there is enough to go around here. >> yeah. and, of course, this report

obviously just focussed on this situation. it doesn't look at the big picture. who else is to blame because surely in a country where an 18-year-old could be more heavily armed than dozens of police officers in that school, surely that's a problem. this is going to continue to happen. what needs to change? >> well, the first thing that needs to change is on the short term. until you can do something about mental health or until you can get guns out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them, you have to protect schools and churches. these are where the shootings are occurring and job sites. when you have a school whose doors are wide open, who have a fence that's not chin high to keep people out and you have a police situation where they're not going to follow the one thing that can save lives, we --

we don't -- we haven't even begun yet. you have to start -- first do the things you can do tomorrow. get everybody on the same page on how we are going to respond. then you go into the hard grinding things like how are we going to keep the mentally ill from having guns? that's heavy lifting. the easy stuff should be how to get a police agency or multiple police agencies to respond to this. and that's what our national policy is. we train one of the other reasons we don'tous radios is we assume we're going in with people not from our agency and might not have our frequencies. so there was a robust, complete, acted out, trained out plan and the problem was when somebody started shooting at them, they didn't follow through. >> yeah. all right. we'll leave it there for you.

steve moore, thanks very much. >> thank you. still ahead on "cnn newsroom," allegations of treason causes a sudden shake-up in ukraine's government. why president volodymyr zelenskyy says two of his top officials had to go. bubbles so many bubbles! as an expedia member you earn points on your travels, and that's on topp of your airline miles. so you can go and see..... or taste or do absolutely nothing with all those bubbles. without ever wondering if you're getting the most out of your trip. because you are. so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've g some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as littles 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic probl. and apoquel's treated ov 11 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing?

welcome back. a major shake-up in kyiv when president volodymyr zelenskyy fired two top government officials citing accusations of treason within their organizations. >> today i made a decision to remove the prosecutor general from office to and to dismiss the head of security of ukraine. >> president volodymyr zelenskyy says he lost faith in their leadership abilities after many of their subordinates were accused of treason. he does not discuss whether the fired officials themselves are under investigation. he announced the head of ukraine's security service in ukraine who was fired at the start of the war has now been detained on suspicion of

treason. >> everyone who together with him was part of a criminal group that worked in the interest of the russian federation will also be held accountable. it is about the transfer of secret information to the enemy and other facts of cooperation with the russian special services. >> well, the shake-up comes as ukrainian troops are going on the offensive in the south. part of a push to recapture russian territory. scott mcclain reports. >> reporter: ukraine says that it is slowly but surely taking back territory in the southern part of the country. the military won't say where they have made gains, but there is some evidence suggesting they have made modest advances on the border region. ukrainian forces now claim russian troops are hiding themselves amongst the civilian population in order to avoid getting hit by ukrainian strikes. keen to utilize their newfound

artillery fire powers by striking at russian supply lines deep into russian held territory. ukraine yans say they have seen evidence suggesting russian military equipment has moved through mariupol headed west and suggest that equipment may be headed toward kherson. in the eastern part of the country, there is little evidence to suggest that the front lines have moved much at all in recent days. but the russians continue to bomb and shell the towns, villages and cities on the other side of the front line. the most recent where local officials say at least one person was killed and more than 12 injured. scott mclain, cnn, kyiv. good to have you with us, claire. so the ukrainian president fired two top officials, the

prosecutor general and the head of security, questioning their leadership qualities and accusing many of their team of treason and collaborating with russia. volodymyr zelenskyy saying russia would not have taken so much territory if it were not for people in those departments helping the russian federation. what more can you tell us about russian infiltration. >> he says 651 criminal cases have been registered. we don't actually know the details of the crimes themselves, but he says this specifically includes more than 60 employees by the prosecutor's office. he says these employees allegedly remain in occupied territories and were working against the ukrainian states. clearly collaboration with russian sort of not just the military but the authorities that are installed in occupied areas. there has been a big concern to ukraine. this is a very serious move given the high-profile of the people involved.

the former prosecutor general, a very prominent figure, very ubiquitous on russian media. she was holding discussions on the war crimes prosecutions she is trying to push through in ukraine ukraine. and the former head of the ukrainian service a childhood friend of president volodymyr zelenskyy, he helped in his campaign bringing him to office. in fact, i want to bring up this picture as part of what volodymyr zelenskyy captioned the dream team in 2014. you can see him right there in the election that brought president volodymyr zelenskyy into office. clearly is a big fall in favor for that individual. volodymyr zelenskyy says there could be more to come. he says each official is now being evaluated. and clearly for ukraine, this comes at a time when they are

trying to re-take a lot of territory from russia. they cannot afford any intelligence failings and we know as well that russia is also struggling in some areas. the head of the u.k. said they think around 30% of russian's land combat effectiveness has been lost as a result of this conflict. both sides trying to push forward. >> sebastian for us in london. thanks very much. sri lanka's acting president declared a nationwide public emergency. he made the proclamation in the interest of public security after protests over the country's deepening economic crisis. public demonstrations over soaring inflation and basic necessities hit a tipping point after protesters took over government buildings and forced the president to resign. saying this call for public emergency comes as parliament is

looking back to "cnn newsroom." a heat wave is gripping western europe. and the u.k. is bracing for record high temperatures in the next two days. things look so bad that british officials held a crisis meeting at so-called club recession to address the heat. authorities issued their first ever red extreme heat warning

for parts of the u.k. well, things aren't any better across the channel in western france. officials there issues their high alert for 15 departments on sunday. and the heat is milwaukeeing it even hotter to battle several wild fires. and the heat is also fuelling wild fires in spain. the health ministry says high temperatures caused more than 200 deaths. people in madrid splashing down to keep cool. for more on what to expect, we're in the cnn weather center. first i want to go to al who joins us live from rome. bobby, the heat on yet, another heat wave there. >> we're used to hot summers here, but this is a relentless time. this is because people are supposed to be conserving energy, making it difficult, should i turn on the air-conditioning or should i not. there is a huge drought which

means people are having a hard time getting irrigation for the crops and things like that. all those things together with the continual hot weather that doesn't cool down at night is making it difficult for the elderly and people suffering other health issues. it's been a difficult summer so far. >> yeah. really, really hot. climate change making extreme weather more common. >> said it well here when it comes to impacting the elderly, certainly ones lef affluent as well. when it comes to extreme systems, those are the extremely impacted people. the excessive heat that has been in place across the south and west expanding to the north. when you look at the middle and latter portion of july into early august, that is when the warmer temperatures are expected across europe. you will notice in spain we reached up to 44 degrees.

that is 10 degrees above average. keep in mind, this time of year 34, i would say 38 or so is typically the warmest you see across this region. but we're climbing well into the 40s and areas of france climbing into the 40s when the 20s are more seasonal this time of year. it does expand farther towards the north. paris aiming for 39. london 27. dublin at 27 degrees. incredible heat. important to note the significance of this because heat is often the number one weather killer. heat is the top weather killer, and a lot of which is when you put it into major cities. it becomes that much more dangerous. the buildings themselves absorb the radiation and release it as heat. 3 degrees warmer than a few kilometers away. the impacts were that the overnight temperatures rarely struggled to drop off because of the asphalt, the windows, the

glass, the structures across major cities. across the area of the u.k., high temperatures climbed into the 30s on sunday, but we expect warmer weather on sunday. potentially warmer on tuesday. the first ever red alert 50% chance in places like manchester or london could touch 40 degrees in the last 20 or so hours. really the one piece of good news is the significant shift here on wednesday and thursday at least for those northern cities back to normality here. temperatures dropping off from the upper 30s, close to 40 degrees in london on tuesday. down to 27. by friday, those rain showers might be ready. 22, i was looking for the numbers, lynda. 1%, less than 1% of folks across the u.k. have air-conditioning units. you know people will be feeling the brunt of the heat coming in

here over the next couple of days. >> no doubt. getting to any park they can, getting to water fountains. thanks to you. still to come on"cnn news newsroom", another omicron variant dominating across the u.s., hear what the top u.s. expert at the white house is recommending to slow the spread. may affect blood pressure, they can't just take anything for their pain.n. tylenol® is ththe #1 dr. recommended pain relief brand for those with high blblood pressure. ifif you have questions on whether tylenol is right for you, talk to your dococtor. so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can workn that itch in as little as 4 hours, whetheit's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 11 million dogs. nice. and...the talki? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog. until dogs can speak for, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch

welcome back. covid cases are on the rise in the u.s. with the highly transmissible ba.5 variant becomes dominant. average daily cases have tripled over the past three months and u.s. health department says hospital admissions due to covid have surpassed 30,000 for the first time in four months. the top covid expert at the white house says current tools like vaccinations, tests and treatments are still effective against this latest variant.

>> what that means in practical terms is that if you were infected three, four months ago, you could get reinfected. we're seeing high levels of reinfection. people not up-to-date on their vaccines have a lot of breakthrough infections. but the gd news here, martha, is our tools and our vaccines, if you are you have to date, if you get an infection, if you get treatments, those continue to work really, really well. so this is an area of concern. but we know how to manage this. >> well dr. jah said mandates shoup left to local jurisdictions and states. the former head of the fda says monkeypox is close to becoming an endemic case in the united states. the u.s. centers for disease control expects those numbers to rise in the coming weeks due to

streamlined reporting, delayed diagnosis and expanded testing. dr. scott gottlieb thinks the focus of who is getting tested is too narrow. >> i think the window for getting control of this and containing it probably has closed. if it hasn't closed, it is certainly starting to close. 11,000 cases across the world were probably detecting just a fraction of the actual cases because we had for a long time a narrow case definition on who got tested. and we're looking in the community of men who have sex with men and at std clinics. so we're looking and finding cases there. but it is a fact there is cases outside that community right now. we're not picking them up because we're not looking there. >> on friday the u.s. government said it ordered two and a half million doses of the vaccine. thanks so much for joining us. for our international viewers, world sport is up next.

welcome back. russian president vladimir putin

is expected to be in iran tuesday. russian officials are expected to provide more details in the hours ahead. the kremlin said last week that syria will be a major topic of discussion. the visit was announced one day after the white house said it had intelligence indicating that iran plans to supply russians with capable drones into use in ukraine. meanwhile, u.s. president joe biden is back in the u.s. after a controversial fist bump during his meeting with the saudi arabia crown prince. he went seeking solutions to one of his top political problems in the u.s., high gas prices. diplomacy with allies in the middle east are seen one of the few routes he can take to ease the pain at the pump. so far no announce pts on increased oil production during his trip. ron brownstein joins me now from

los angeles. good to have you with us, ron. so as a presidential candidate, biden said he would isolate saudi arabia, but with the record high gas prices we're seeing, he went for help, a boost in production. what did he come home with? was the trip worth it? >> look, the desire to isolate pariah regimes through american history runs up against national self-interest on a regular basis. and joe biden is not the first or the last president who will face this contradiction or this collision between his desire to assert american values and what he perceives to be american interests at the time. certainly the war in ukraine has put an enormous strain on world oil markets and pushed gas prices to a level that are -- that is extremely politically excruciating for the party holding the white house. so it was perhaps inevitable that he would be asking saudi

arabia to turn on the spigot. we don't know what he got out of it. but few would be surprised if there is an increase in production at the end of the line on this. it is not clear why this whole trip would have happened if not. >> yeah, exactly. and biden is back once again to deal with his nemesis, joe manchin, blocking his agenda. this time on climate change. does biden have any hope of getting his agenda passed ahead of the midterms? >> look. they're town to kind of bare -- almost scraps of what's left of build back better. you know, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema in different ways each stood against the virtually unanimous support within the democratic party for something that's far broader than what we have been talking about over the

last several weeks. and this has been just a brutal series of developments for democratic activists and the millions of people who came out to vote for them in 2018 and 2020 with the supreme court decision on roe, the demise, the legislative demise of their climate agenda. i think the president is coming back to a situation that's more volatile than even the white house seems to recognize in terms of the degree of unease and anger in the democratic party, anger at republicans, anger at manchin and kyrsten sinema, but angry at the party's leadership, especially among young democrats who have become more and more local saying they are failing to meet the magnitude of the challenges of the country bases from issues from democracy to climate to the roll back of rights that's now underway. >> and speaking of leadership,

democrats have been lamenting they need biden to be more of a fighter. reaching out to republicans may have worked back on the campaign trail, but it's gotten nowhere now. how deep is the discord? what does it say about biden's power within the party? >> i think it is really deep. as i say, i think it's deeper than they are aware. i think he left an enormous vacuum in the party. democrats dounified control. republicans are on the offensive and democrats are watching things that they care about crash and burn on an almost regular basis. it is not only an issue of not moving the ball forward from that point of crew, they are losing ground. we are watching a 60-year process called the rights revolution in america. the dinnishing of the ability of states to deviate from that

national baseline of rights. we're seeing between the stream court and the red states a whole series of rights, lgbtq rights, voting rights, obviously abortion getting rolled back and returning to a pre-'60s era where your rights depended on where you live. there is a broad sense in the party that the biden administration resisted that or called it out with the level of urgency and demands. i do think that the sense they are not meeting this moment is coming to a critical mass in the democratic party. once that solidifies, it becomes

difficult to go back and turn it off. >> yeah, exactly . i calculated that if joe biden got elected president, the furthest distance from his office in american history. his instincts were shaped in an earlier area where you -- you know, my distinguished friend from the other side. these instincts always, he seems like a day late and a dollar

short in the way he's responded to these challenges, whether it is apportion or climate, his first instincts like i described it as an american baseball out fielder whose first instinct is to break back on the ball and only comes in if he has to. in that way, the sense of hip as a man out of time spreading in the party is not only because of age, it is because of those instincts. and, look, if they have a bad midterm, i do think there will be more talk about essentially pushing him, just discouraging him from running again. but having said that, i think if trump runs again, it is going to be very hard to dissuade biden from doing so. ron brownstein for us. thanks so

much. >> it is going to be a busy week for the january 6th committee. their eighth and potentially final public thursday. 187 minutes, that's what they plan to tell in their primetime hearing on thursday. 187 minutes where they say donald trump did nothing to quell the violence of his supporters on january 6th. adam kinzinger. representative elaine luria described it this way. >> we'll go through pretty much minute by minute by the time he

left the stage at the ellipse, came back to the white house and really sat in the white house in the dining room, you know, with his advisers urging him continuously to take action to take more action. and not only was it a situation not doing anything, at one point the infamous tweet we know at 2:24, he actually egged people on by saying vice president pence didn't have the courage to, quote, unquote, do the right thing. >> this hearing feels like the culmination of eight televised congressional sessions we've seen so far about january 6th and about how donald trump and those around him scheme to block the election's result. but this is not the end of the committee's investigation. kinzinger said thursday this is just the end of the first tranche of hearings. more could come when the house committee releases a report of their findings later. but when that will be it still is not known. that's because this is an ongoing investigation and committee members are saying they're getting new information and hearing from new witnesses every single day even this week we understand the secret service that agency that had personnel

up close next to trump as the day unfolded, they plan to turn over subpoenaed text messages from agents' phones after house members who were concerned last week about whether secret service phone data had been lost. we will see what happens there. it may have taken 20 years to walk down the aisle, but hollywood stars ben affleck and jennifer lopez have finally said i do. in a newsletter to fans, lopez said the couple flew to las vegas for a small ceremony at a drive-through chapel. they wrote, in part, quote love is beautiful, love is kind, and it turns out love is patient. the couple met filming a movie in 2001 and announced their first engagement in 2002. both lopez and affleck have children from other marriages after their initial split back in 2004. huge congratulations to mr. and
