live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all you watching us here in the united states, canada, around around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on cnn newsroom, turkey helps broker a del to secure critical grain supplies for the world. we're live in istanbul with the latest. former trump aide steve bannon found guilty of contempt of congress. he says if he guess to jail, so be it. and wildfires burn across parts of europe amid the deadly heatwave around the world. we'll have details in a live report from rome and the cnn

weather center. >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. >> we begin with both new hope and a new round of fighting in ukraine. officials say 13 missiles struck a city about 300 kilometer north of mykolaiv, leaving a number of people injured and killed. the missiles targeted military airfield and a railway facility. officials are urging people to stay in shelters for now while the mayor of mykolaiv is reporting what he calls powerful blasts in that city. but on the hopeful side, ukraine and russia have signed an agreement that will allow ukraine to resume grain exports through the black sea. much of that grain has been stranded because of a russian naval blockade, leaving 47 million people around the world in acute state of hunger according to a u.n. estimate.

president zelenskyy says russia may not fully keep its side of the bargain. here he is. >> translator: the text of the document signed today is published, and everyone can read its points. they fully meet the interests of ukraine. it is clear to everyone there may be some provocations on the part of russia, some attacks to discredit ukrainian and international efforts, but we trust the u.n. now it is their responsibility and the responsibility of international partners to ensure compliance with the agreements. >> the deal was signed in istanbul where turkey and the u.n. broker talks between kyiv and moscow. nic robertson has more. >> reporter: in istanbul, the biggest diplomatic breakthrough in russia's war against ukraine, a deal to ease russia's stranglehold on ukraine and get its grain, 1/5 of the world's supply, to market. >> it will bring relief to developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most vulnerable people on the edge of

famine. >> reporter: since the war began, russia has attacked and blockaded ukraine's ports, burnt wheat fields, stolen harvests from farmers. until now, russia has been holding the world's grain hostage. the new deal aims to end that by creating safe shipping channels, using ukrainian pilots to navigate through sea mines, implementation overseen by turkey includes inspecting cargos. russia's defense chief and ukraine's infrastructure minister signed the deal, but not with each other, simply with the u.n. tensions remain and the deal fragile with no hard ceasefire at ports. an adviser to president zelenskyy's chief of staff tweeting in case of provocations, an immediate military response. >> ukraine does not trust russia. i don't think anyone has reasons to trust russia.

we invest our trust in the united nations as the driving force of these agreement. >> reporter: speaking in istanbul, russia's defense chief indicating what they got from the deal. the u.n. lifting restrictions on their food and fertilizer exports, despite their responsibility triggering the current calamity. ukrainian officials say 20 million tons of grain are stuck in port. and exports could begin in days, likely using ships stuck in port since the war began. but the key for lasting success, agricultural experts say, is getting insurance for more ships to come in. and that depends on nothing going wrong, even while the war rages on land. nic robertson, cnn, kyiv, ukraine. >> for more, joining us from istanbul where that deal was

signed. so we just got the big deal. walk us through turkey helping bring this deal together. >> well, ken, turkey has played a crucial role. that was certainly underlined by the u.n. secretary general antonio guterres yesterday. this has taken weeks and weeks of negotiations being mediated by the turkish president, by the turkish government. he has chosen to maintain a channel of communication, a dialogue with president putin. meanwhile, also offering support to the ukrainian armed forces. he has condemned the war in ukraine. he has supported the armed forces in ukraine by supplying military hardware, drones. so he has offered support to ukraine, but he has also continued that channel of dialogue with president putin. and clearly, that has now yielded some results. the turkish newspapers today really hailing president erdogan has somewhat of a hero saying this will end the food crisis.

this is the message we are hearing from the united nations as well. this is a crucial deal, and it has taken weeks of negotiation by president erdogan to really mediate this and bring both the ukrainian and russian sides to the table as we saw yesterday, that symbolic handshake to finally bring about an agreement for the export of grain. turkey has played a crucial role in bringing about this deal, but it will play a role in terms of i implementation. turkey plays a role of vessels through the tush. >> states through the gateway of the black sea to the rest of the world. that set out in the montrose conversation over 1936. during that convention, during peacetime, warships would be able to travel through the turkish straits depending on whether they've given prior diplomatic warning to the turkish government. some restrictions on the weight and what arms they're carrying.

officially views russia and ukraine as being at war, of course. those warships are not permitted to travel through the turkish straits. so turkey is obliged to prevent the passage of ukrainian and russian vessel through the turkish straits. they'll be playing a central role in regulating the passage of other vessel, mainly those carrying grain exports through the safe corridors. and that will be inspected by the joint coordination center which is set to be established right near in istanbul. >> all right, thank you so much, nara bashir. the united nations is calling the deal a beacon of hope for people around the world. in istanbul for the signing of the agreement, as we saw the u.n. and turkey have been mediating with talks for months. and guterres later told becky anderson many people didn't believe the deal would ever be reached. >> nobody believed when i said

three months ago that i had made this proposal to president putin and to president zelenskyy, and that we were starting to work on it. everybody was say this was not possible. it has happened. so i believe it is in the mutual interest of the parties because these will represent not only an important solution for ukraine that has all the silos full and the new harvest being made. so it's vital to export ukraine grains, but we are working also as it is known with the u.s. and eu. the u.s. already issued a statement to these, there are no sanctions on putin fertilizers. so russian fertilizers will also be able to be in access to the world markets. and these two combined operations will mean a huge injection that i believe will bring prices down, will

stabilize the markets, and will allow developing countries an extremely difficult situation where families is going to stop. what has guided us during the three months, they were very difficult. many obstacles. but i have to say, today i feel like living probably most important day of my tenure as secretary general. >> is there a mechanism in place to hold parties accountable should they renege on this deal, sir? >> there is a joint coordination committee as representatives of the u.n., turkey, russia, and the ukraine. all movements will be coordinated by this committee. all ships that will be in this movement will be searched and followed through remote

mechanisms that they exist in order to make sure that we all know at any moment where any ship is. and there is a clear commitment of the parties that not only no attacks will be made on any of these ships, but that the control will be remote, not to have warships in the proximity. >> well, it seems no one knows what's happening at europe's largest nuclear power plant in the ukrainian region of zaporizhzhia. the facility has been under russian control since the war began. that means five months have gone by without international inspections. the head of the international atomic agency says it is alarmed by recent reports of an incident possibly with casualties and is urging calling for an international inspection. now on thursday, the plant's operator said the russian military was hiding weapons and munitions inside the facility where they'd be safe from ukrainian artillery. donald trump's ally and former white house adviser steve

bannon is vowing to appeal and says he's not afraid to go to jail after he was found guilty of contempt of congress on friday. bannon was charged after failing to comply with a subpoena from the house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. cnn political correspondent sara murray has more. >> reporter: long-time donald trump ally steve bannon found guilty on two counts of criminal contempt of congress. >> we may have lost a battle here today, but we're not going lose this war. >> reporter: bannon, who smirked as the verdict was handed down, faces at least 30 days behind bars after a jury rejected his defense that the dates of his subpoena weren't set in stone. the conviction is a major boost for the house select committee investigating january 6th, reaffirming its subpoena power as it continues its quest for more information and additional witnesses. bannon refused to comply with the committee's subpoena for information about his contact with trump and comments like this one ahead of the capitol riot. >> all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. >> reporter: prosecutor molly

gasston boiling it down. bannon didn't show up. he has contempt for our system of government, and he does not think he needs the play by its rules. she compared his offense to snubbing a parking ticket, a sorely relevant package in and said the former white house chief strategist chose allegiance to donald trump over compliance to the law. >> i stand with trump and the constitution. and i will never back off that, ever. >> reporter: as for bannon's last gasp offer to testify publicly before the committee -- >> give me a date, a time, a room number, a microphone and a holy bible that i can take the oath on, boom. >> reporter: prosecutor amanda vaughen called him out saying he and his friend, former president donald trump suddenly decide he's going to comply? give me a break. bannon is not above the law. he is not the decider of the law. he is guilty, she said. while bannon promised a fiery case -- >> this is going to be the misdemeanor from hell. >> reporter: the defense rested without calling a single witness. bannon attorney evan corcoran

was interrupted with objection after objection. ultimately, corcoran claimed there was no magic to bannon's subpoena bid. to inject politics, corcoran said the powerful tried to silence the opposition. politics can play no role, he argued. it's important that we are all in this together, and steve bannon is innocent. >> the jury didn't buy it, deliberating less than three hours. but bannon's team already plotting their appeal. >> this is bulletproof appeal. >> reporter: whether his appeal is bulletproof remains to be seen. he has a sentencing date for late october. sara murray, cnn, washington. summer's taking a brutal toll across europe and the u.s., and people are searching for relief from record-breaking temperatures. a look at why some are in more danger than others, and a check of the forecast next. plus, why didn't donald trump stop his supporters from storming the u.s. capitol? white house insiders testify about what they saw and heard during the crucial hours of

so call now. (soft music) ♪ hello, colonial penn? temperatures and raging wildfires. record breaking heatwaves are

wreaking havoc across parts of the world, and there is little relief in sight. crews are working to put out fires in greece, spain and slovenia. rising temperatures of people desperately searching for ways to stay cool, many of them in places where air conditioning just isn't common. let's go to meteorologist derek van dam at the cnn weather center. it's not just europe. asia, north america as well sweltering under all this heat. >> what i'm going to show you, kim, is basically most of the northern hemisphere is baking right now. quite literally. d.c., the nation's capital in the u.s. where ice is a commodity. keeping their drinks cool, doling those out to their friends, family. trying to help with the excessive heat. you can see the heat advisories, excessive heat warnings in place across much of new england. heat indices between 95 to 105 degrees. that's over 32 to 38 degrees celsius. it's not just the east coast,

it's the nation's midsection. it's also on the west coast. over 80 million american under heat alerts right now. we have the potential to shatter over 40 records. just today, right through the end of the weekend, new york city five days in a row. we've had temperatures above 32 degrees, or 90 degrees fahrenheit. if we get one more day, that ties the record, which was set back in 2013 of a six-day stretch of that amount of heat. here is the forecast. it's definitely going to be that hot in new york, all the way to the nation's capital, where a heat emergency is in place. it's not only north america. it's across the big pond. this is a picture out of milan, italy. people doing whatever they can to keep themselves cool. these temperatures are incredible. this is oppressive heat. 44 degrees for sevilla through the weekend. madrid 40 degrees to end off the weekend for you. what you'll notice is the heat will shift across the mediterranean and move into the southeastern portions of europe in the coming days.

so italy to croatia as well as bosnia, these areas are going to feel the mercury and the thermometer climb. we'll get a bit of a reprieve across the uk where we shattered all-time record temperatures earlier in the week. a look at the forecast high temperatures across this area. this is a very hot weather setup. just pumping in the air from the northern sahara. check out the temperatures from madrid, above average right through the weekend and into next week. and as i mentioned, much of the northern hemisphere literally baking. lots of red on this map. this is of course northeast asia. check out korean peninsula, japan, china, temperatures above average for most locations. beijing will top 37 degrees to end out the weekend. 36 on monday. finally, a cooldown for tuesday and wednesday with some rain and cloud cover in store, and above average temperatures for shanghai as well. quite the climate emergency if you ask me. >> derek van dam, thank you so much. i want to go to our barbie nieto

who is in rome where temperatures are expected to hit 99 fahrenheit in a few hours. barbie, first on the heat, you're up there on the roof. you must be feeling it too. how are folks being affected across the country there? >> yeah, it's oppressive. and it's been so hot for so long that you're just, it's a depressing factor. people are doing everything they can to try to stay inside, to go to places that are air conditioned. as you mentioned, air conditioning is not that common in italy or much of southern europe. it's expensive to run it. but it's not cooling off at night either. that's what makes this heatwave seem so different than other ones. it used to be that you could cool off at night. that doesn't seem to be the case this time around. it is hot. people are staying inside. people are avoiding the activities they normally would be doing in the summer. the beaches are full, but not to the extent you've seen before because it's just too hot, even to go to the boetsch for a lot of people, kim. >> too hot to go to the beach.

unbelievable. the other big concern, the fires raging in many european countries, including italy where you are. what's the latest there? >> yeah, these fires are a big worry. and those firefighters, imagine working in that heavy protective equipment under this blazing sun, trying to keep communities safe. there have been so many evacuations. there have been so many buildings destroyed. more than a thousand people have died in the heat and being evacuated and fires and things like that. we've had a fire burning outside of rome. there were fires in the north of the country here in italy over the last couple of days. and it's not getting any better because there is no rain in sight. and this country has been under a drought condition future a long time. and that's turned everything into this sort of tinderbox. people throwing a cigarette butt out of their car and barbecuing, all these sorts of things that are starting these fires. and it's making them very hard to contain, kim. >> yeah, all right.

thank you so much, barbie nadeau from rome. earlier i spoke with henie huddle at stanford school of medicine about the health crisis that can arise from heatwaves like this. i asked specifically about heat-related deaths which are often used to gauge how bad a heatwave. she explained why they can fall short of measuring the gravity of the problem. here she is. >> there is certainly an issue with potentially undercounting heat-related deaths. for example, the cdc, what they do is they look at death certificates. and they look at death certificates that had tabulated heat as either an underlying cause or a contributing factor. but the problem is heat can affect morbidity and mortality in ways that aren't abundantly clear, especially for health professors. it can be really difficult to discern when it is exacerbating an underlying medical condition or contributing to new symptoms. you get an undercounting of

these deaths. in fact, the los angeles time did an investigation that found california potentially undercounts heat-related deaths by as much as sixfold. so that's a real problem. and so one of the potential solutions to this is to actually calculate excess deaths. and for example, spain, which was just hit with a heatwave last week has been doing this in their preliminary numbers about the deaths that potentially occurred during this heatwave. what you do is you look at the difference during the heatwave, the deaths that occurred versus the number of deaths you would normally expect would you tell this heatwave. and this enyou can compare the difference. and that might help you potentially capture how many more deaths are occurring because of the extreme heat. >> yeah. and then looking at people of color, i mean, according to the epa, people of color face disproportionate harm from climate change, which exacerbates the sort of existing health disparities. explain what makes these communities so vulnerable in times like these.

>> yeah, it's really unfortunate, and it's something that we definitely need more public health action around. there is a study done in 2019 looking at heat-related emergency department visits between 2005 and 2015 in california. and although number of heat-related department visits increased across the board, you saw greater increases for asians, hispanics, and black communities and so this is unfortunately a huge problem. also, minority communities, black and brown communities often have less access to central air conditioning units as opposed to single room air conditioning units, which can affect the ability to keep the household cool. you also see something called urban heat islands. so when you have less foliage and greenery, and you instead have kind of pavements and densely packed buildings and concrete and asphalt, that can make the surroundings be a lot warmer. new york city released a report

last month kind of mapping these urban heat islands where it feels a lot warmer. and unfortunately, that coincides with a lot of neighborhoods where communities of color primarily reside. so there a lot of work to be done to really close these gaps. >> and you can see my full interview with henie hundal in 50 minutes. cnn newsroom continues after a quick break. for our international viewer, "african voices: change makers" is next.

welcome back. to all you watching us here in the united states and cabrera. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." when the january 6th committee resumes its hearings in september, one key issue will be missing text messages from secret service agents at the time of the insurrection. now cnn has learned ten agents may have sent or received relevant texts of those messages apparently weren't preserved. if recovered, that i could help corroborate testimony that trump became irate when agents blocked

him from going to the capitol to join his supporters. we have more now from cnn's manu raju on the dramatic "prime time" hearing. >> reporter: president trump was sitting in the white house for more than three hours, watching tv as the deadly attack on the capitol unfolded. >> are you aware of any phone call by the president of the united states to the secretary of defense that day? >> not that i'm aware of, no. >> are you aware of any phone call by the president of the united states to the attorney general that day? >> no. >> are you aware of any phone call by the president of the united states to secretary of homeland security that day? >> i'm not aware of that, no. >> reporter: trump rejecting pleas from members of congress, his aides, and his family members to tell the mob of his supporters to go home. >> if pence caved, we're going to drag the [ bleep ] through the streets. >> reporter: instead, inflaming tensions with a tweet attacking vice president mike pence. >> the tweet looked to me like the opposite of what we really

needed at this moment, which was a de-escalation. >> it was essentially him giving the green light to these people. >> reporter: trump was on the phone with his lawyer rudy giuliani, who in turn was pushing senators to slow down the certification of joe biden's victory in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power. as trump went to the residents that night, he did not express concerns about the attack. instead, he said only, quote, mike pence let me down. >> reporter: but the committee revealing that trump's actions endangered pence's life. radio communications from the vp's secret service detail showing the chaos with rioters just feet away. >> they came through the building. holy -- >> if we leave, we need to move now. if we lose any more time, we may have -- we may lose the ability to leave. so if we're going the leave, we need to do it now. >> they've gained access to the second floor, and i've got about

five feet from me down here below. >> reporter: this testimony from a white house security official who's identity was kept anonymous for his own safety. >> members of the detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives. there were calls to say goodbye to family member, so on and so forth. >> reporter: even a day after the attack, outtakes of trump's speech show he refused to say the election was over. >> but this election is now over. congress has certified the results. i don't want to say the election is over. i just want to say congress has certified the results. without saying the election is over. okay? >> reporter: the committee plans witness interviews behind closed doors in august and more public hearings in september. some members believe they have laid out a criminal case against the former president. >> i think the president certainly has criminal exposure. >> reporter: now one of the things the committee will try to figure out during august is what is the story behind those missing texts from january 5th and january 6th of 2021.

now the secret service contends there was some sort of phone migration that led to the loss of some of these texts, be the committee says they are determined to figure out the true story behind it. jamie raskin, a member of the committee, told me that they're going to fill in a whole bunch of leads over august, gaps in the story line, as well as those texts. and he said, quote, we're going to figure out this whole mystery with the secret service texts. m manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. i'm joined by a professional of government at the university of essex in england. she actually joins us from paris. thank you so much for being here. let's say with one, we're a cynic. we knew broadly what happened on january 6th. we saw the footage. we know donald trump egged the insurrectionists on and then basically did nothing to stop them. so now after eight hearings, what's really changed? >> well, we know the extent to

which he was involved, that this was months and months and months of planning, that he knew that there was no fraud, and that there was nothing he could legally do, and he knew that there was violence, that there was an attack on the capitol. and he just didn't really do anything about it. and in fact, just sat back and was actually reveling in it. and we've actually seen public opinion change a little bit. several weeks ago, when i had spoken to you, i didn't think that this would move anything much. but we've seen that there has been a 4% shift in that now we have 57% of the public that think that trump was at fault, and we have a little bit more of the public that thinks that this is a big threat to democracy. now it's very partisan in the way that it breaks down. but you have 86% of democrats that believe it's a big threat to democracy. 52% of independents. but only 12% of republicans. but it's still important because we need to provide transparency

about what takes place, and we need to apply the pressure. the more pressure needs to be placed on the doj to actually prosecute, and merrick garland finally did say something that no one is above the law. and we have to make an example out of this. this is a democracy. and we had a president that tried to stage a coup. and if he gets away with it, this is going to really shift our norms for what people can get away with. and it will lead to more bad behavior upon future presidents. that's how coup. you have one coup that leads to another coup. we see it's the shifting norms that are really, really problematic for our democracy. >> i want to go back to the public reaction to this. in liz cheney's closing statement, she laid out basically the key question to americans. i want to play this. here she is. >> can a president who is willing to make the choices

donald trump made during the violence of january 6th ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again? >> so far, i mean, very few republican lawmakers have said, you know, no to that question. so what does that say to you think? >> i mean, it's really astounding what's taking place with the republican party, which i do view as an authoritarian party that has been captured by donald trump. you don't have any republicans that are willing to even say i don't think he should run again or i might not support him. they're hedging on this. they are really that worried that if they say something against trump, that there is going stop some sort of revenge on them or this is going to make them not part of the party anymore. it is really incredible. but i think what the republicans just need to keep their eye on, he is not popular. he has a very low approval rating. but the other issue is in the republican party there aren't

that many other politicians that have a high approval rating either. ron desantis approval rating is around 33%. mike pence's approval rating is just a little bit higher. i think the republicans need to regroup and take an honest look at what trump has done to their party and try to move on from this. >> although to be fair, president biden's approval ratings are not much better. >> not much better, no, that's true. >> another point that these hearings was to prevent something similar from happening again as the consequence of trump's attempts to hold on to power, congress is working on a bipartisan deal to make it harder to overtush the results of a presidential election. so that's, you know, on the one hand. on the other, the forces that animated january 6th, they're still out there, whether it's donald trump recently calling the wisconsin assembly speaker to decertify the 2020 election, or maryland republicans choosing an election denier as their

nominee for governor, just to name two examples. do you think these hearings will have helped go any way to prevent this from happening again, especially if republicans take back the house, the senate, or both? >> i mean, that's a really good question. and i think if the doj doesn't prosecute, there is going to be real problems. because we actually have to make an example out of this. we've seen other countries, newer democracy than the u.s. like in south korea, in taiwan improve where they've made an example out of the president who has abused power that is something that is incredibly vital to our democracy. and if they don't do so, as i mentioned, the norms are going to shift. and to prevent this from happening again, we have to keep our leaders accountable. and i think that is one of the questions that the doj is going to have to decide on. but the point of the hearings is we have to have transparency about this. if this is something that happened and we need to really

say never again. >> all right. we only have maybe a minute left, but i just want to look ahead to the hearings in september. what are you expecting or hoping to hear then? >> well, i think they're just trying to lay out the case even further for the american public about how involved he was in the planning of this. that this is something that is premeditated. it was not some kind of spontaneous event, and this is a big threat to our democracy. this is not covered by free speech, as 40% of republicans believe. this is not some small event as another 40% of republicans believe. this is a big, big obstacle to our democracy, and it's something we have to tackle head-on. >> yeah. all right. we'll have to leave it there. really appreciate your insights. natasha lynnstead, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. the rift between donald trump and mike pence is growing. the two held competing rallies

on friday in arizona in the upcoming primary for governor. trump is backing carrie lake, a political novice and former local news anchor. she has embraced the former president's lies about the 2020 election while pence has endorsed karen taylor robinson, a businesswoman and political ally of outgoing governor doug douse djoocy. a candidate of running for new york is condemning the cashless bail system that allowed a man suspected of attacking him to be released quickly from custody. lee zeldin was unharmed after he was attacked on stage at an event on thursday. on friday, he called for changes to the state's bail system, saying judges should have the discretion to decide who remains in police custody. the suspect was charged with attempted assault and released on his own recognizance. police say he was armed with a set of self-defense knuckles
