good morning, everyone. it is saturday, july 23rd, i'm amara walker. >> i'm alex marquardt. you are in "the cnn newsroom." we begin with relentless and scorching heat gripping much of the united states and europe this weekend. more than 85 million americans are under heat advisories and excessive heat warnings. more than two dozen cities will be reaching record-breaking temperatures this weekend which includes some in the triple

digits fahrenheit. >> new york city could soon see its longest streak of 90-degree days since 2013. officials there have shortened their triathalon course for tomorrow. and in boston their triathalon has postponed altogether. one woman describes how the unbearable heat feels. >> what's it like in your apartment? >> hell. >> it's like hell? >> horrible. it's horrible. >> i sat outside here from ten to 4:00 this morning. >> as europe's heat wave moves eastward, wildfires have forced tens of thousands of people from their homes. you can see here parts of greece and slovenia are blanketed with flames and smoke. just terrifying scenes there. according to the w.h.o., the heat wave has caused more than 1,700 deaths in spain and in portugal. >> these heat waves are dangerous. we got a look at the impacts of this extreme heat here in the u.s. and of course overseas and

how much longer it will last. let's begin now with polo sandoval in new york. hi there, polo. so we know new york is under a heat advisory until 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night. how are people coping? >> reporter: amara and alex, this is how some of the 85 million americans that are affected by this heat wave are actually [ inaudible ] right now here in brooklyn. that is [ inaudible ] after this heat wave has really just scorched the south, it is now in the northeast here. meteorologists are expecting the high to be in the upper 90s in new york. tomorrow will be the peak of the heat. by the time we potentially get some relief in the middle of the week here in new york it is quite possible, according to forecasters, that we will have a total of seven days when we've seen 90-degree-plus days. the last time we saw a stint that long was back in 2013. that's why health officials here in new york city, cities like boston and philadelphia, they're issuing that alert not only to take care of yourself but also

of others. yes, there are many people making the best of it today but at the same time we've also seen this heat wave turn deadly for so many throughout the country. dallas this week, dallas, texas, reporting its first heat-related death. in arizona, officials there have reported well over two dozen heat-related deaths there. so they are certainly issuing those warnings throughout the country and especially the northeast as temperatures continue to ramp up today. as you mentioned, the triathalon scheduled for tomorrow has been reduced. in boston, they said we're not going to even mess with it this week, they pushed it to next month because of the historic weather conditions, guys. >> polo sandoval in new york, thank you very much. in europe, barbie nedeau, a brutal week, record temperatures in london, we've seen wildfires. you are in italy. how is italy faring? >> reporter: it's so hot, and

it's so oppressive. the heat is really difficult in places like this, southern europe. people don't have air conditioning, it's not very common. people are trying to find any way they can to keep cool. it's particularly dangerous because of wildfires. we had a wildfire outside of rome, it was terrifying, it started in a country club. people throw their cigarettes out, or a barbecue, and firefighters have to work under extreme conditions to keep these blazes from spreading into cities. we've had evacuations, people changing their plans. no end in sight, we're not expected to peak and reach better temperatures until the middle of next week. >> barbie nadeau, i know how hot it is, i was just in southern germany a few weeks ago, you're right about the no air conditioning, and it's really tough to keep on keeping on in those temperatures. barbie, thank you for that. let's get a look at the overall

forecast, cnn's allison chinchar is in the weather center. of course everyone wondering how long this heat wave is going to last. >> yeah, and unfortunately for some of these areas you're talking at least another week of having triple-digit temperatures every single day. for other areas, it's a short term concern, but short term, those temperatures will be at record levels. we're showing all of these areas earned heat advisories, excessive heat warnings or watches. it's a pretty widespread location. the northeast is the newest area to be dealing with these extreme temperatures. it's not just the temperature but also the humidity too. so take a place like richmond, virginia, for example. the high temperature today, 95. but that feels-like temperature up around 102. you have several other locations including dc and norfolk where that feels-like temperature will be in the triple digits. but then tomorrow the temperature gets even warmer. dc, philadelphia, even boston, that's when they'll peak, is on sunday. boston forecast to get to 98 degrees on sunday, that would break a 90-year daily record if

they do. it's one of over 30 locations that has the potential to break record highs not just today but also tomorrow. now, some areas are going to get some relief in the short term. omaha, chicago, st. louis. it's still hot today, but we have a cold front system making its way through the area. when it does, finally those temperatures will drop back but even then it's just temporary. it's not going to be long term. and the flip side, you also have to contend with strong to severe thunderstorms. we're talking places like minneapolis, green bay, chicago, des moines, detroit. damaging winds and hail, golf ball size hail or larger, and the potential for tornadoes. we had storms this morning move through chicago, indiana, ohio. a second wave starts to push through this afternoon and will continue into the evening. so again, amara and alex, yes, you get the benefit of having those cooler temperatures but at the cost of having severe thunderstorms. >> triple-digit temperatures,

hail, and tornadoes. this could be a long, long summer. allison chinchar in the cnn weather center, thank you so much. the extreme heat has some cities taking a major step when it comes to tackling this climate crisis. later on we'll hear from the director of a group that is helping to appoint chief heat officers around the world. >> an important conversation in light of what's going on. when the january 6th committee resumes its hearings in september, some possible key evidence will likely be missing. text messages from secret service agents at the time of the insurrection. >> those missing text messages have put the agency under fierce scrutiny. it began when the department of homeland security's inspector general asked for the text records last year, only to be told that they had been deleted. cnn's senior justice correspondent evan perez joins us now. evan, it's not just a congressional subpoena that we've seen, it's also a criminal investigation. >> reporter: that's right, alex.

this is now a criminal investigation by the office of inspector general from the homeland security department which oversees the secret service. as you pointed out, they requested these messages, you know, for a group of people who would have been key to understanding what happened on january 6th and what they heard, they said, is they got some pushback from secret service, they said they got a lack of cooperation which is why just in the last few weeks they went to congress to report what they were receiving from the secret service. and now we find out that the messages, which secret service says were deleted, there are now indications that at least ten of 24 people that they had sought to get these messages from, there is metadata that indicates there were messages sent and received. we don't know the content of those messages, which is what the secret service will now try to figure out. we know ten of those people,

there were no messages exchanged, and then there were three who they found only personal messages were exchanged. obviously there's still so much that the january 6th committee now wants to know, because in particular, there's a sequence of events. they sent a request for the preservation of all communications, all documents, shortly after the january 6th attack, and it turns out days after that, the secret service began this migration of documents -- i'm sorry, of devices. they were changing over phones. and it's during that process that they say these messages were deleted, they were erased. the question now is, is there any way, any technical way that the secret service or somebody else could try to help retrieve the messages that they say were erased, amara and alex. >> the timing that have migration notable. evan perez, really interesting stuff, thank you. former trump adviser steve

bannon could soon be headed to jail. >> and in under three hours of deliberations, a federal jury handed down a guilty verdict for bannon in his criminal contempt trial. cnn's sara murray has this report. >> reporter: amara and alex, a jury here finding steve bannon, donald trump's longtime ally, guilty on two counts of contempt of congress for failing to show up to testify before the house select committee investigating january 6th and failing to turn over any documents. they did not buy into team bannon's argument that somehow the date of the subpoena was flexible. they were not distracted by his last-minute offer to testify publicly before the committee. instead they went along with the prosecution's view of the case, the view that if you get a subpoena, you have to show up. the prosecution argued that steve bannon valued his allegiance to donald trump more than he valued the rule of law. bannon faces at a minimum 30 days behind bars as well as fines. but his sentencing is not going

to be until later in october. in the meantime his attorneys have already said they plan to appeal. sara murray, cnn, washington. >> our thanks to sara murray. the january 6th hearings will be a major topic of discussion on "state of the union" when the vice chair of the committee, liz cheney, joins jake tapper. you can catch that conversation tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. right here on cnn. new this morning, white house officials say president biden is in a very good mood and keeping busy in isolation as he weathers a covid-19 infection but according to the president's physician, he is taking additional medications for his temperature and cough. earlier we spoke with biden's chief medical adviser dr. anthony fauci who says that despite the president using an inhaler, biden isn't having any trouble breathing. >> he has an upper respiratory infection right now. having a runny nose, having someone who he has a history,

when he gets colds that have nothing to do with covid-19, he has a history of asthma, and he uses the bronco dilator to make sure he breathes well. he has no trouble breathing at all now, that would be a misinterpretation, to say that. that's something he does regularly when he gets an upper respiratory infection. the president continues to improve and we have every reason to believe he will do very well for the obvious reasons. he's vaccinated, doubly boosted, he's on an antiviral drug that has a very good track record of preventing people to progress to disease that is serious. so he's doing very well and he continues to improve. >> dr. fauci also discussed whether the cdc needs to change its recommendation to a longer isolation period. take a listen. >> people have different circumstances in their lives. and it may be very difficult sometimes for people to have the access to keep testing before they can go back or to be out for the entire ten days.

some people need to put a mask on and get back to work because of their social or economic situation. so it really is a heterogeneity of circumstances and you have to really go by the circumstances that you're in. the president is in a position to be able to test every day and wait 'til he becomes negative before he goes back. but that doesn't mean that everyone has to do that. >> currently cdc guidelines say that regardless of vaccination status, a person who has tested positive for covid-19 can end isolation after five days if they are free of a fever for 24 hours and have symptoms that are improving. still ahead, a violent arrest was caught on camera in tennessee. now at least one of the officers involved is on leave. that will be coming up right after a quick break. stay with us. plus a wildfire explodes in size overnight in california. details just ahead as "new day"

future comes just a month before students in uvalde are expected to return to school. parents and students, understandably, still have questions and significant concerns about school safety in that district. so joining me now to discuss this is a national school safety expert. ken, thank you so much for being with us this morning. the school district has announced it could be making what they call enhancements going forward, among them new eight-foot-high fencing, locks for doors, upgrading access points, hiring additional officers and personnel. you talk about the term "security theater" which you define as the show of making changes but not really making plans for sustainable, longer term change. those things that i just outlined that are being proposed in that school district, do you consider that to be security theater? >> what we know is that the allegations after high profile school shootings and other

incidents, similar, elsewhere in society, are allegations of failures of people, policies, training, human factors, not of security hardware or equipment. i've been a witness in the nation's highest profile mass shootings and have yet to see that the allegations of failures go back to anything other than the human factor. parents understandably want something visible, tangible to point to to say schools are safer. administrators want to point to things as well to appease the community and release those tensions and stress. but if it doesn't really address the underlying problem, it's security theater. we need to focus on people more so than products and hardware if we really want to make schools safer. and the best security oftentimes is less visible or invisible versus those bells and whittles

and shiny objects that we can point to just to appease the emotional security needs. >> when you say focusing on the humans, you mean more training? >> training is a major thing. what i've seen in recent years is there's a quick fix to target hardening, one-time shot in the arm grants, throw money from state or federal money at equipment and hardware and say we've made the schools safer. in reality, what is harder to get is time on the agenda to train not only teachers but support staff members, school secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, people who are out working, to see a stranger on campus, to know what to do when something goes in the wrong direction. and we are not doing that. it's hard to get time on the agenda. i've had people tell me, we have a three-day professional development session, how much time do you need. i say i would like a day. they say, you have an hour, we'll pay you for the full day. that's not the way to train your

staff. there has to be a commitment of time and leadership to doing planning, preparing, and practicing, as much as there is a commitment of money to put out security theater, bells and whistles. >> there is a movement among parents and many in the community in uvalde to see the school police chief, pete arredondo, fired from his position. if they succeed in that, what would be the next step for the school distribute? district? >> there are due process requirements for people who have contracts that you legally have to go through. here are the issues. number one, i was shocked that the officers involved were not put on paid administrative leave from the immediate time of the shooting, to have the investigation continue. that's the standard. secondly, the officers themselves have undergone a great deal of trauma. one of the most traumatic incidents you can experience. they need time to process for their own mental health and social and emotional needs.

the third part is public accountability, trust and confidence. it's going to be hard for those people in those positions to sustain their job even if they're cleared technically in some investigation, because the public has lost confidence. they need to have an independent assessment of their security and emergency planning and policing, take a look at whether or not reorganization of structures needs to change, take a look at personnel change, and most of all, that the policies and procedures are in place, the training and the commitment for true leadership and they're communicating honestly, openly, and transparently with their parents and school community, their students and their staff. >> you were just criticizing the bells and whistles that so often come in in the wake of these things. given the number of school shootings that we have seen recently, are you worried that these schools are going to soon look like mini detention facilities? >> well, schools are different

from other environments, from a government office facility, a military installation, a corporate factory somewhere. schools are community centers. and the challenge i've had in more than 30 years, three decades of working in pre-k through 12 school security, is striking that balance, helping school leaders strike that balance of having a warm, welcoming, supportive school for students, staff, and the community. and think about it, schools are used after school and on weekends for hours, performing arts, athletics, as recreational facilities, athletic events and games. it's a different entity to try to secure versus a tsa, sterile security environment that you're going through to get on an airplane. you need reasonable security measures, you need to make sure up the appropriate training, if you have school-based police officers, making sure they're trained and you have the right officers to work in a school environment. having reasonable security, emergency preparedness plans,

but not going over the top with drills that could cause more trauma to kids. so yeah, it's a very unique environment, and i'm concerned that we're going too much on skewed and one direction on target hardening, any type of security technology and hardware is only as good as the human link behind it. the only way we find out about weapons, plots, kids who will harm themselves, is when a kid comes to a trusted adult. it makes a true difference in school, it's a balancing effort. it requires leadership, it requires schools not to try to do school safety on the cheap by not allocating the time for planning, preparing, and practicing, but just taking a quick fix that's a one-time shot in the arm to get the pressures off from the community until

attention shifts elsewhere. >> ken trump, important thoughts and advice, appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> amara? in tennessee this morning, a police officer is on administrative leave and the state's bureau of investigation is investigating after video showing the violent arrest of a black man caused national outrage. 25-year-old brandon callaway says he's still experiencing health issues after police allegedly beat him with a baton and tased him in his own home after they say he ran a stop sign, then drove back to his house and went inside. cnn correspondent nadia romero following this story for us. so walk us through what we know, what happened. >> reporter: as you mentioned, this is a story we're seeing really spreading on social media, because his girlfriend at his home at the time took a video. here is what we know. police tell us that 25-year-old brandon callaway did not stop

say stop sign in his neighborhood. when they tried to pull him over, he kept going and went inside his home. police said they believed he needed to be detained so they went through, broke down his door, ran upstairs to grab him. i want you to take a look at the video to see what happens next. >> and this is disturbing video. [ screaming ] >> stop! stop! brandon! stop! stop hitting him! stop hitting him! stop it! stop it! stop! stop! stop! stop it! stop! why are you hitting him? he has no weapon! he has no weapon! why are you taking him? you're beating him and taking him, he has no weapon, sir, there's no weapon, they're being aggressive, i have all of this on video.

no, don't put your hands on me. do not put your hands on me. i need to call my mom. i need to call his mom. >> get on the ground! >> i didn't do nothing! >> get on the ground! >> look what they're doing. stop hitting him! stop resisting, brandon, stop resisting. just stop. just get on the ground! get on the ground, baby. get on the ground. get off of his neck! >> so hard to watch and hear the screams there. so what you saw in the video was the police officers rushing inside the home of brandon calloway. they say they needed to tase him and that didn't work so they had

to pull out their baton to get him to stop resisting arrest. we are expecting to hear more from his attorney, amara, who believes that they used excessive force and that they did not have to go to those lengths to detain him. >> i'm glad you told us it was disturbing, the screaming was tough to listen to. i'm sure this is just the beginning what have we're going to hear. thank you very much, nadia. a alex? >> very disturbing video. u.s. cities are taking an unprecedented step when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. we'll look at the role what have are being called chief heat officers, next. sn't right! hot, hot, hot! mayday! mayday! seems like andrea got a dishwasher thahat's fully functioning. aparartments-dot-com. the place to find a place.

and here's a look at some of the top stories we're following this morning. police in oxford, mississippi have arrested and charged 22-year-old sheldon timothy harrington jr. in connection with the disappearance and murder of university of mississippi student jimmy j. lee. >> lee went missing on july 8th and his vehicle was found three days later but his body still hasn't been recovered. authorities say the investigation is ongoing and they're asking the public to contact them with any tips. in california, a large wildfire spreading dangerously fast is threatening parts of mariposa county. the oak fire is zero percent contained and authorities say 4,300 acres have been burned. the fire started yesterday afternoon and has spread to the sierra national forest. the county sheriff has forced vacancies and road closures for some surrounding areas.

this morning, more than 85 million people are under heat alerts as record breaking temperatures are expected across the northeast united states throughout the weekend. many of us have noticed that these recent heat waves have been more dangerous and happening more frequently. but to raise public awareness and protect lives, cities like los angeles, phoenix, and miami have appointed chief heat officers to address the threat of rising temperatures. here with me now is kathy mccloud, the director of the rockefeller resilience center which is the group leading the appointment of chief heat officers around the world. welcome to you, thank you so much for joining us. i want to talk more about what exactly the role is of a chief heat officer. but let's talk first about this fact. heat already kills more americans than any other weather-related disaster. our elected officials, do you feel, taking this crisis seriously enough?

>> sadly, seeing these temperatures and watching the death count go up, i think the answer will increasingly be yes, but on the whole, i would say no, we're generally not ready. our elected officials, our business leaders and citizens writ large, we're not ready. we're still thinking in that nostalgic way about summer, when it's extreme heat season and it's deadly. >> you've said it's a health crisis, a social and equity crisis. help us understand the sense of urgency and the kind of havoc these kinds of heat waves cause and could cause. >> if you think about it, your smartphone will shut down at 95 degrees. airplanes can't fly past 120. kids' aptitude goes down with every degree above 73 degrees. so they can't perform on tests. and we used to think of elderly and pregnant women as vulnerable to heat. now it's all of us.

we can't quite comprehend how hot it is, and fit, healthy young people are coming into emergency rooms like crazy this summer. and we just have to get our minds around what this is. we think that having somebody at the local level, working closely with elected officials with that influence to wake up every day focused on helping protect people from heat, is the way to go. these chief heat officers can really get in front of the crisis and bring solutions, because there are lots of solutions. >> right, so tell us more about the tasks of a chief heat officer, especially in the context of these heat islands, right? educate us about that, because we know it's the low income neighborhoods and people who are homeless who are disproportionately impacted and hurt by heat waves. >> you're so right. and when we live in cities, the materials we've built our cities with, including black asphalt that absorbs heat and then

radiates it at night, roofs that are black that absorb heat, and glass that is reflecting and radiating onto the street, cities are hotter. and that's the heat island effect. so you have climbs change, super charging heat in the city. then you have people in neighborhoods that have been historically victims of racist housing practices, underinvestment, food deserts. and so those neighborhoods are hotter. and one of the biggest solutions is nature and trees. and low income communities and communities of color are traditionally in neighborhoods without trees. all asphalt. so they're 14 degrees hotter. a chief heat officer benefits the most vulnerable people, maps where they are, prioritizes solutions. >> 14 degrees hotter, that's astronomical, when you're talking about a heat wave where

it's 85 degrees, and you add 14 degrees to that, that's nearly a hundred degrees. what kind of solution -- what would a solution potentially look like, let's say for this particular issue? >> the immediate solution is early warning systems. chos and our organization, we're advocating and testing heat wave naming and categorization. that's a short term solution. we have to educate people about how hot it is and provide relief. medium and long term solutions are, as i said, nature, tree canopies, open space, green space, lighter surface roofs, green roofs with plants on them, changing the way we design the buildings for air flow, policies that help people work during hours, dunot during the hottest hours when they're working outside. our dress code should change, what we wear.

tax policies that incentivize all those good things. there is a raft of good things that have evidence that we can do and we've got to start mobilizing money into those things and getting people, we need armies of people activated because this is not going away. >> it's fascinating to hear you talking about this, i'm learning a lot. it's a relevant issue, and the naming of these heat waves and having this warning system, fascinating stuff. we know that hurricanes also become more frequent when the water is warm, and we're in a warming climate. we could go on and on. we appreciate what you do, thank you. >> you bet, thanks. name the wave. it's a battleground state that went blue in 2020 for president joe biden but former president trump and former vice president mike pence are on the campaign trail in arizona except now they're backing two different candidates for governor there. a look at the gop divide, coming up next.

want to move forward from the 2020 election, she's endorsed by the outgoing term limited governor in arizona, doug ducey, who was attacked relentless by by former president trump for refusing to overturn the 2020 election results in this state. as this is unfolding in the state of arizona, it looks like pence and trump are set for a collision course in 2024 on the national stage. pence in recent weeks has really signaled strongly a potential run in 2024. and of course as we know, trump has continued to tease that run. so this would set up an epic showdown between the two of them who once served together in the white house and now haven't spoken in more than a year. >> fascinating stuff there, kristen holmes, appreciate it. we've all gotten plenty of them, you know, those annoying, really annoying robocalls about car warranties. but the fcc might be

i need to delete them. oh, my gosh, so annoying. anyone with a phone has probably heard that message before, right, alex? >> and there may be end in sight, finally we're hearing from the fcc saying they are going to be cracking down on billions of these robocalls which really are quite clever, they can fool you into thinking this might be someone you know who is calling you. cnn business correspondent rahel solomon has the story. >> reporter: amara, alex, good morning. the federal communications commission cracking down on those annoying robocalls, announcing thursday it's ordering cellphone providers to block millions of robocalls a day that advertise extend vehicle warranties. robocalls about an extended car warranty were the single largest complaints to the fcc in the past two years, the fcc identifying 13 people and six companies, mostly based in texas and california but also hungary.

together the group is blasting out millions of illegal calls each day according to the fcc. the group bought access to telephone numbers. this is the first order by the fcc to force carriers to stop allowing the illegal calls. in the past, it notified companies. this is a step further. the chairwoman of the group saying in the release, we are not going to tolerate robocalls, scammers, or those who help make their scams possible. consumers are out of patience and i am right there with them. i talked with a reporter at consumer reports, a nonprofit organization that advocates for consumer rights, but why this is such a huge problem to solve. he said the people and companies behind these robocalls have been able to stay one step ahead of phone companies and regulators both in terms of technology and legislation. it's difficult for the phone companies to tackle because there are some robocalls that are legitimate like your doctor's office. whether people actually notice a
