do, open societies and freedom, who are out to kill plain innocent people, and we have to understand -- >> it is a war. >> -- that this is a sustained effort. ♪ welcome to all of you here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," international outcry after missiles strike odesa's port right after an agreement to ship much-needed grain. live in ukraine and istanbul with details. california's governor declares a state of emergency as a wildfire nears yosemite and rages uncontained. it's a scene playing out in parts of europe. the toll of record-breaking

temperatures across the northern hemisphere. details and a live report from rome. plus the forecast from the cnn weather center. we begin in ukraine which says its food export agreement is still on despite a russian missile strike on its port city of odesa. now these strikes came just one day after ukraine and russia signed an agreement in istanbul which would allow ukraine to resume grain exports which much of the world desperately needs through its ports. condemnation of the attack has been swift with britain saying russia's word can't be taken at face value. listen to this. >> it is absolutely appalling that only a day after striking this deal, vladimir putin has launched a completely unwanted attack on odesa. it shows that not a word he says can be trusted, and we need to

urgently work with our international partners to find a better way of getting the grain out of ukraine that doesn't involve russia and their broken promises. >> the u.s. secretary of state echoed the sentiment saying, "this attack casts serious doubt on the credibility of russia's commitment to yesterday's deal. russia bears responsibility for deepening the global food crisis." the european union also condemned the attack. for the latest, cnn's ivan watson is in zaporizhzhia, ukraine. condemnation has come quickly and strongly. take us through the fallout of this attack. >> reporter: ukrainian officials across the ukrainian government denouncing this. and it's particularly striking. i mean, just earlier this week i covered the aftermath of another russian missile strike on a different part of odesa. what was telling here was that it was the actual port that was

hit. as ukrainian officials said, a pumping station, and the ukrainian president says that there was also damage to some of the historical buildings in this kind of cultural icon of ukraine to the odesa museum. take a listen to an excerpt of what president volodymyr zelenskyy said last night. >> translator: today's russian missile attack on odesa, on our port, cynical. turned out to be a blow to russia's political positions. if anyone in the world could still say that some dialogue with russia and some kind of agreement are needed, see what is happening. >> reporter: the denunciations have been echoed by the u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken, who said these attacks cast serious doubt on the credibility of russia's commitment. the european union's foreign policy chief also condemning the

attack. an important note is we've got a statement from ukraine's deputy minister of infrastructure. despite the strikes on the odesa port on saturday, he says that a technical group meeting of this new grain agreement that was signed friday evening will, in fact, be happening today in istanbul. he went on to say that the grain export infrastructure in the odesa port was not damaged. but among the things to be discussed at this meeting in istanbul, which presumably would include russian representatives as well as ukrainians, would be the discussion of the attack on odesa. a final point is that the ukrainian foreign ministry is now putting pressure on both turkey and theup, who kind of mediated this agreement on friday, for them now to hold russia to account for this alleged missile strike, saying it's up to them now to make russia respond for what they say

is this attack on their port. kim? >> all right, so for the russian side of this, let's go to anna bashir in istanbul. what's been the response from russia and turkey, which helped broker the deal? >> reporter: well, there was always a lot of skepticism around how this deal would be implemented and whether it could be implemented successfully, particularly because there was no hard cease-fire agreed on ukraine's southern black sea port. although it was understood both russia and ukraine had agreed to not undertake any attacks on civilian vessels or commercial vessels or on port infrastructure involved in this grain initiative. so seeing this attack less than 24 hours after that deal was signed here in istanbul is a real blow to months of mediation, of negotiation, brokered by the turkish government and the united nations. now, of course, mounting pressure on the turkish government to prove that this deal can work, that it can be

implemented successfully. we heard from turkish defense minister reacting to these attacks yesterday. he expressed turkey's concern and said that the turkish government was disturbed to see this attack launched so soon after the agreement had been signed. but according to turkish officials, russia has reached out to turkey and denied any responsibility for this recent attack, take a listen. >> translator: the russians told us in no uncertain terms that they have nothing to do with this attack. they're monitoring the situation very closely and in detail. it really concerned us that such an event happened after we signed the deal and grain shipments were disturbed as well. but we continue to fulfill our responsibilities in this agreement, and we also expressed in our meetings we're in favor of the parties to continue their cooperation here calmly and patiently. >> reporter: this is pressure mounting on turkey to hold russia to account. this isn't the first time the russian government or defense ministry has denied any involvement in civilian

targeting in ukraine, standing contrary to the evidence on the ground. now it's up to turkey to establish its joint coordination center here in istanbul to oversee these grain shipments. of course to ensure that these shipments are carried through a safe corridor without the risk of being targeted by russian forces. kim? >> all right, thanks so much. ivan, just looking at the state of the battlefield, what's the latest from the southern front in ukraine? >> reporter: it continues to be active with strikes taking place on both sides of the front lines. the ukrainians claim they captured a small village in the occupied, largely occupied kherson district. they also claim to have carried out long distance strikes against suspected russian ammunition depots and collections of russian troops. meanwhile, the russians continue to pound this frontline city of

mykolaiv in the south with cruise missiles, hitting it early in the morning on saturday, then in the evening, and then there were explosions reported before dawn this morning again after the evening strikes. they were still trying to figure out if there were any civilian casualties with a school hit and so on. i do have to say, kim, i returned to this city of zaporizhzhia where i'd been in march and april which was much quieter, much more subdued. there were strict curfews. most of the businesses were closed. what's remarkable in the months since then, since april, is much more of it is open right now. people feel more comfortable even though cities like this are only about 30 kilometers from front lines. and i think that says something about the confidence people have in the ukrainian military and its rings of security and bunkers to stop a potential russian ground offensive. that does not apply, however, to the russian cruise missile strikes which rained down daily

across ukraine on ukrainian towns and cities. >> that's interesting. thanks for the update. thanks to you both. ivan watson and nana bashir in istanbul. the war is a daily fact of life for almost every ukrainian regardless of how far he or she is from the fighting. but in russia, it's a very different story. joining me now from st. petersburg is andrea kalisnokov, endowment of international peace. i want to talk about this attack on odesa. we've seen plenty of people in ukraine and in the west speculating about vladimir putin's motives. why would russia attack odesa less than 24 hours after signing the agreement on grain? i'm wondering what you think is behind this? >> you know, it's putin's typical message that the war is going on. and he meant by this that this

is simply an agreement which could work for sure, but he will behave like he wants. this is the perfect demonstration of his personal attitude towards ukraine, towards any kind of agreement, peace agreement, trade agreement, whatever. >> so i'm wondering how this incident is being covered in russia. are they just framing it as, we didn't do it? is it just another case of ukraine attacking itself? or is it just not being covered at all? >> it is covered but in very specific way. you know, frankly, i don't follow official television, and i really don't know how they interpret it. but usually it looks like a bunch of self justification or something like that. or simply demonstrating that the

targets were strictly military, not civic. >> more broadly, you've recently written about the atmosphere there in russia. it sounds as though, for the most part, russians -- it's just business as usual for them. so give us a sense of russia at war right now. >> it's a contradict 24 story because it was -- at the very beginning, it was a real shock for the majority of russians, including those who are supporting putin. but now this is five months of this war. and ordinary russians realize that a special operation is not going to be over any time soon. and they prefer to survive, simply to live like usual. so putin doesn't lead them into trenches. he didn't announce any kind of general military mobilization.

and it was a red stamp because people feel themselves in safety. all the young boys in the families could be in danger. but kremlin, the feeling that it must demonstrate that this is kind of a -- not a real war but a special operation. people in cities and big cities can't live their own everyday life. this is kind of a business as usual for them. people are accepting that this is kind of a social contract between the authorities and the average russians. >> so then when it comes to putin himself, i mean, it's always hard to gauge his popularity accurately given the amount of repression, lack of media independence, so on. how has he have his popularity fared as this war has dragged on now for months? much longer than most russians would have expected.

>> you know, people can't understand how to explain to themselves what is happening. and they prefer to borrow the opinion from official sources, from putin himself. putin is a teacher of history, the main teacher at the same time. can i continue? >> go ahead, yeah. >> and i would say that people prefer to support the war leader. putin transcends his personal authority, paradoxically. he demonstrated that only he is the person who is controlling the situation. and to the broad masses of people who understand, they can't see any kind of alternatives here.

they see that they are in safety, being defended by putin. so we're talking about masses, about majority, not about the russian people as such. because around 15% or 20% of the population are strongly aga against -- [ audio ] [ audio cut-outs ] this is psychological, how to explain to yourselves this disaster. how to calm down your own feelings. i don't want to see any kind of alternative sources, i believe my president, this is my country. this is one of the most popular positions. >> we'll have to leave it there. really appreciate getting an insight into russia right now as it goes through this war. completely different experience, obviously, from that of millions of ukrainians.

andre kalisnokov from st. petersburg, russia, thank so much. two americans recently died in the donbas region of ukraine according to the u.s. state department. there are no indidetails about individuals or the circumstances of their death. the state department says it is in touch with the families and providing assistance. a major heat wave isn't letting up in the northeastern u.s. in fact, the worst may be yet to come. we'll look at how cities are adjusting to blazing temperatures ahead, and it's not just the u.s. facing these sweltering conditions. temperatures are also soaring across parts of europe and china. we'll have a look at the forecast after the break. yep, them too. it's an invigorating rush... ...zapping millionons of germs in seconds. for that one-of-a-kind whoa..... ...which leaves you feeling... ahhhhhhh listerine. feel the whoa! hmmm. -good morning jen. shall we see how you slept? all right, sleep tracker, let's see the damage. oh! that's not good. you sound... tired.

you're looking at what's now a two-day-old wildfire near yosemite national park in california. fire officials say the oak fire had grown to almost 12,000 acres by saturday. that's almost 5,000 hectares. authorities say at least 10 structures have been destroyed with another five damaged. a man hmajor heat wave not up. new york city will likely hit 90

degrees fahrenheit. philadelphia and boston are set for some of their hottest temperatures in decades this weekend. polo sandoval has more. >> reporter: another challenge for people in certain parts of the u.s. to keep cool, especially in the northeast where heat advisories and alerts remain in place in major cities like boston, philadelphia. here in new york city, that yearly triathlon has been scaled back considerably as the cycling and running portion of it has been shortened. the concern there is over potential heat-related illness. similar concerns in the city of boston where their triathlon has been scheduled now for next month instead of this sunday. we do know that cooling centers have been set up throughout the new york city area offering people a way to keep cool. we will see now this heat wave potentially last into next week, which will be one of the long es-lasting heat waves we've seen in recent times. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. flash flooding in southern

iran has killed at least 21 people. officials say two others are still missing. video from local media shows cars being swept away by the rising waters, as you can see. officials say at least 15 vehicles were submerged by the floods. iran has been suffering some of its worst drought conditions in decades which dries out the soil, making it harder to absorb sudden, heavy rainfall. it's not just the u.s. dealing with scorching-hot temperatures. in china, more than 50 cities are currently under red alert, the country's highest heat warning. temperatures in those areas expected to spike above 40 celsius. in europe, millions are sweltering under dangerously high temperatures. the brutal heat wave sweeps the continent. soaring temperatures are fueling wildfires in several countries. on saturday firefighters in greece worked to contain a fire that broke out inside a national park. for more, let's bring in cnn's barbie nadeau in rome. more than 1,000 heat deaths,

raging fires as i spoke about. take us through how europe is being hit by all this. >> reporter: you know, they're getting a little bit of relief in the northern part of europe right now, but southern europe is sweltering. there's no end in sight. they're talking about maybe some storms next week. for the most part, people here in the south part of europe are suffering. and these temperatures just aren't giving any relief at all. people are doing everything they can, they've changed a lot of daily activities to try to stay indoors. a lot of people don't have air conditioning. and it's just been really difficult, especially on the elderly and the sul initial, kim. >> yeah, and it's not just discomfort and danger, right? this extreme heat and the fires, all of this is taking a toll on european economies as well? >> reporter: that's right. the economic cost of these wildfires are starting to grow. they're starting to make news around europe. a lot of these forests that have burned, the beekeepers in greece or the violinmakers in northern italy are going to suffer

economic losses. and there's a lot of livelihood at loss and it costs a lot of money to fight these fires. thousands of firefighters working in very difficult conditions. then you need equipment, gas. gas prices are rising. ought that's starting to be a worry, especially as these fires continue. many of them are contained but not many of them are extinguished yet. >> sounds like things are still getting worse for a lot of people there. barbie nadeau in rome, thank you so much. meteorologist derek van dam, coming back to here in the u.s., millions of americans are going to be feeling the heat today. how hot is it going to get? >> here it is. this is a look at our heat advisories that continue to expand moment by moment. i watched it literally fill in here within the past five minutes or so from the national weather service. starting to recognize that temperatures here will be dangerous, especially along the eastern seaboard and into the nation's midsection. you'll see in just a moment the

pacific northwest as well. heat advisories and heat emergencies for places like new york all the way into boston as well as the nation's capital. here's a look at some of the temperatures that we tied or broke yesterday. records, i should say, yesterday. today we have the potential to break record highs in philadelphia, new york city. look at that high, 96. it will feel like 100 to 105 degrees fahrenheit as you step outside when you factor in the humidity level. this is the forecast high temps for boston. their record high temperature in 1933. this is a longstanding record. could be died or broken depending on what happens with the mercury and the thermometer. across the pacific northwest, excessive heat watches in place. this is for the heat that will build through this week. that's our next major heat wave story. portland, seattle, sacramento, boise, las vegas, salt lake city flirting with upper 90s and lower 100s. check out this average forecast for portland, oregon. should be 84 degrees. your forecast calls for 101 by

tuesday. that is incredible heat. and very dangerous, especially for areas that aren't prone to getting that type of temperature. across the mediterranean, extremely hot. we've had a cold front that's cooled temperatures across the northwestern sections of europe, but it's the southern and eastern portions of the continent that have felt the brunt of the worst heat in the past 48 hours. anywhere from the balkans through italy all the way to the iberian peninsula, temperatures in the upper 90s and lower 100s as well. we're talking about 40 degrees celsius or higher for many locations. rome's seven-day forecast above average. it's not just north america. it's not just europe. it's also into portions of asia. you heard just a moment ago from kim talking about how there are over 50 cities under red alerts according to the china meteorological agency. temps there will arise above the

40-degree mark consecutively through the first half of this week. we had temperatures that skyrocketed yesterday all the way to 42 degrees when average highs should be 35. this is for one particular location over the eastern sections of china. just to equate that into fahrenheit, we're talking about 104 degrees fahrenheit. just incredible heat for this location as well. basically the entire northern hemisphere dealing and coping with this warm, warm weather that has been so problematic for people, of course. we try to cool ourselves with sweating. unfortunately, when you have humidity in the equation, it makes it that much more difficult to cool our bodies. kim? >> yeah, exactly right. derek van dam, thanks so much. i'm kim brunhuber. for those in north america, "cnn newsroom" continues after a break. for our international viewers, "inside africa" is next.

♪ welcome back to all of you watching here in the united states and canada. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." the world health organization is declaring the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. according to the agency there have been more than 16,000 cases of monkeypox in more than 75 countries and five deaths in africa. the director general explained why the w.h.o. was making this designation. >> w.h.o. assessment is the risk of monkeypox is moderate globalry and in all regions except in the european region where we assess the risk is high. >> w.h.o. also cautioned against

being passive about preventing measures -- preventive measures, saying vaccines can take up to three weeks before they're fully effective. we spoke with dr. jorge rodriguez, asked him if these increasing case numbers are just the tip of the iceberg and who's most at risk? here he is. >> i believe, unfortunately, that it is. and if you look at the mathematics of this, the curve is growing exponentially. now, the next month is going to tell a lot. if the efforts that are being done in the united states and throughout europe to vaccinate populations that are at greater risk, if those work and if the education, for example, what we're doing now. if this works, we should see a plateauing of the cases. so again, we started with this a lot more quickly than we did with covid. and it is a different virus that doesn't spread as quickly. so do i think it's the tip of

the iceberg? yes, i think there will probably be tens of thousands more cases of monkeypox. >> who is most at risk of getting the virus? and since mask-wearing won't necessarily protect you in the monkeypox situations, what can the general public do to protect itself? >> well, first of all, everyone is at risk of getting monkeypox. where it is being seen now most predominantly is men who have sex with men, bisexual men, transgender men. this is not because there is anything inherent in that population. let me just say that. but i as a gay man am saying that this is not something that is just in gay people. if people think that, then we're going to be in a lot of trouble. because anybody that is in close contact with anyone else, listen, an epidemic has to start somewhere. and in this case, the majority of them, maybe it's because of

june being gay pride throughout the world and there were a lot of celebrations and that's where it started. but what people need to do is they need to be careful not to be skin-to-skin with anybody that may have fever, chills, sore throat, that has blisters. and, you know, be careful that way. also, if you are someone that has multiple sex partners, this may be the time, you know -- not maybe. this is the time to probably cut that back considerably. so it is with human interactions that monkeypox is spread. and it is a very close contact that spreads it. >> and he added that the designation from the w.h.o. is important in raising awareness about how quickly the virus is spreading, and the need to take action now. the number of global covid cases fueled by the b.a.5 subvariant, you can see on this

map is virus is surging in especially north africa, asia, and latin america. our reporter jacqueline howard has more. >> reporter: in tokyo, people go about their daily lives. japan was looking forward to a rise in tourism during the summer months as its economy struggles to get back to prepandemic levels. but a recent uptick in covid-19 cases is spoiling those plans. out of the country's 47 prefectures, 30 reported daily new highs. this is japan's seventh wave of coronavirus, and the government says it doesn't plan to bring back any covid rules. >> translator: as for the rapid spread, i think that maybe since the spring, everyone has calmed down and gone back to normal. so it was predictable, to a certain extent. >> reporter: and it's not just japan. many parts of the world are seeing a surge in covid-19 cases. health officials are blaming a combination of relaxed social

restrictions, as well as the spread of omicron subvariant b.a.5. it's more transmissible than the original omicron variant and is now the dominant strain. >> this variant does seem to be pretty different than previous variants, which means that your previous immunity, either from infection or from vaccine, may not be as protective. >> reporter: in the united states, infections are on the rise in at least 40 states and hospitalizations have jumped 20% in the past few weeks. more than 1 million americans have died of the virus since the pandemic started. >> we probably are currently seeing somewhere between 600,000 and 800,000 new cases per day, most people tested at home. so there's a tremendous amount of virus around. what's worse is that there's no sense of urgency in this country. >> reporter: europe is not just battling a heat wave. the number of covid-19 cases there has tripled in the past six weeks. that's according to the world health organization. nearly 3 million new infections were reported the week of july

10th. >> the virus has never gone away. people sometimes ask, is the virus back? it's never gone away, it's still there, it's spreading, it is mutating. and unfortunately, it's still taking a lot of lives. >> reporter: health experts are urging people to get vaccinated. warping that if you haven't gotten a covid-19 vaccine this year, you're not protected against serious illness from the new variant. jacqueline howard, cnn, atlanta. president biden's physician says his symptoms continue to improve following his covid diagnosis on thursday. dr. kevin o'connor says biden has a sore throat, runny nose, body aches, and a loose cough. and he's using an inhaler as needed. the doctor says the president has completed his second fill day of paxlovid, the antiviral covid drug.

according to the white house, biden is working and participating in virtual meetings. u.s. lawmakers are working on a bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriage under federal law after the reversal of roe v. wade by the supreme court. the democrat house passed the "respect for marriage" bill this wooen week but there's uncertainty in the senate. >> reporter: now that this legislation has passed the house, it goes to the senate where senate majority leader chuck schumer has already taken procedural steps to sad vance this legislation that would codify same-sex marriage in the united states and make it federal law. because of how the senate works, even if all 50 democratic senators support this legislation, there needs to be at least ten republicans to sign on to break the 50-vote threshold for the filibuster. right now we look at five republicans who have said they plan to support this. those being rob portman of ohio, susan collins of maine, ron johnson of wisconsin, lisa

murkowski of alaska, and thom tillis of north carolina. we also know of eight republicans who will not support this legislation, as well as 15 republican senators who have not yet said where they stand on the issue. but look, it's base there's still not enough votes. it's unclear when the vote will be scheduled but the clock is ticking. democrats were hoping to put this on the floor for a vote before they leave for a month, both chambers leave for august recess. and of course, the closer that this vote is to the midterms, the more democrats could use this as a midterm rallying call to get voters to turn out, which is why they're trying to do this before republicans can't support t this. it's notable that there is discussion republicans could support this legislation, considering a few years ago there was almost unanimous opposition against same-sex marriage across the republican party. in the last few years, that has changed.

it is incredibly telling, because 47 house republicans supported this legislation when it went to a vote in the house last tuesday. so it really shows how this issue has changed in the party. that is why democrats want to codify same-sex marriage, but as i said, the clock is ticking and democrats are hoping they can pass this legislation, as well as other packages they want to pass, including legislation that would increase produce of semiconductor chips, a priority for both parties, and a separate economic package that would pass along party lines. so of course senate majority leader chuck schumer still hoping that they can do that before august recess. but remains to be seen. daniela diaz, cnn, washington. we're already seeing the result of controversial rulings the u.s. supreme court has already made, overturning roe v. wade which protected abortion rights. how abortion laws are creating medical nightmares for women who

a man suspected of attacking a candidate for governor in new york state has been arrested again on a federal assault charge. >> reporter: federal authorities arrested and charged a man accused of trying to assault new york congressman zeldin on stage at a campaign event. david giacamone is charged with assaulting a member of congress with a dangerous weapon. zeldin is a republican running for governor of new york. the suspect made his first appearance in federal court on saturday on a charge filed by the u.s. attorney for new york's western district. he was initially arrested on thursday on new york state charges, and he was quickly released which prompted criticism given the nature of the attack. a photo of the alleged weapon shows an apparent key chain

device with two sharp points that the fbi describes as a self-defense weapon. video of the attack shows the suspect holding the object in his hand as he gets up on stage to confront zeldin before being tackled by other people. according to the federal criminal complaint, the suspect allegedly told the fbi he had consume d whiskey and he must have checked out as he walked on stage and asked if zeldin was disrespecting veterans. he told the fbi that he did not know who zeldin was at the time. he's an army veteran who served in iraq in 2008 and 2009. he is next scheduled to appear in federal court on this charge on wednesday. evan perez, cnn, washington. u.s. vice president kamala harris health the latest in a series of listening sessions with state lawmakers on the biden administration's efforts to preserve abortion rights across the country.

during the meeting in virginia on saturday, the vice president again reiterated the president's support to temporarily suspend the filibuster in the senate in order to pass legislation on abortion and voting rights. over the past two weeks harris has held similar meetings in florida, pennsylvania, new jersey, and north carolina. in states ban abortion, there are questions whether doctors can legally perform procedures to help pregnant women who suffer miscarriages because those procedures can also be used for abortions. for one texas woman, the anti-abortion law forced her to carry her dead fetus for two weeks. cnn's elizabeth ckohn has the story. >> reporter: they've always wanted a little brother or sister for their daughter,ed a lena. what they got was a nightmare because of a texas anti-abortion law. >> i get so angry that i was
