wellcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead, missiles slam into the port of odesa just hours after russia signed a deal on grain exports. we're live with details on how the world is reacting. plus for the second time in two years, the world health organization declares a global health emergency, why experts say it is urgent to take monkeypox seriously. and stifling heat on three continents, many people are saying enough is enough.

we'll have the forecast from the world weather center. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. >> and we begin in ukraine which says its food export agreement is still despite a missile strike on its port city of odesa by russia. 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 decembesperately n. condemnation of the attack has been swift. >> it is absolutely appalling that only a day after striking this deal vladimir putin has launched a completely unwarranted 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 voflin-vofl russia. >> and let's get theivan watson. condemnation has come quickly and strongly. take us through the fallout of this attack. >> reporter: you just heard from the british foreign secretary. the european union foreign affairs chief, the u.s. secretary of state have also all denounced this and squarely accused russia of carrying out this attack on the odesa port. and there is also a chorus of condemnations and basically "i told you sos" coming from ukrainian officials across gamut of regional and national government. take a listen to what the president of ukraine had to say in his nightly address.

>> translator: we see the absolute reaction to the strike. among other things, as a result of this strike, the building of the odesa art museum was also damaged. the rockets hit very close to the historical objects of odesa. >> reporter: and i was about a week ago reporting in odesa. the port is around which the whole city, this historic city, is constructed. and there are a lot of security measures there. for instance, all the security forces are very strict. you are not allowed to take any pictures, any video of the port facilities because it is so sensitive, it is so precious to the ukrainian economy. and it is an integral part of this deal that was inked signed just friday evening in istanbul, mediated by turkey, the united

nations, ukraine and russia agreeing that this was going to be one of three ports that was going to be allowed to export grain to world markets that have seen the prices of wheat skyrocket with the u.n. warning that some 40 million, 50 million people will be pushed in to acute hunger as a result of this around the world. the u.n. secretary-general called it a beacon of hope on the black sea, this deal, and then a strike on the port where some of that grain would presumably be exported from where a pump station was hit according to ukrainian initials. we've heard from a deputy minister of infrastructure here in ukraine that none of the actual grain exporting infrastructure was damaged by these strikes. the foreign minister of ukraine has put basically pressure now on turkey and the u.n. to say, look, we didn't sign this deal directly with russia. you guys mediated it and now it

is up to you to hold russia to account to make sure that this port, these ports and the infrastructure, are not further attacked by russian cruise missiles which i might add are being launched at ukrainian cities and towns day and night. back to you. >> i just want to follow up with you because russia after denying that they were behind these attacks now we're getting word that russia's foreign ministry is saying that they indeed did attack what they are calling military infrastructure. do you know anymore about this? >> reporter: i think this is attributed to the foreign ministry spokeswoman. it is interesting that in the first kind of 12 hours, 24 hours, there was very little commentary and we are hearing a denial from the turks who were saying that we heard from the russians that the russians didn't carry out an attack. and now we're starting to get indications that the russians are saying that we hit a military target there.

i do have to caution our viewers that in this war, both sides are hitting targets, both sides are trying to hide their military deployments from attacks and they are not admitting when their soldiers are in fact hit. and that is part of the psychological operations of this war. could it be possible that they would have hit some military object in the port? i can't say. i can't confirm or deny that. but it is also interesting that it has taken the russian government more than 24 hours to figure out how to respond to the chorus of condemnation and these apparent missile strikes carried out on a port that was part of a multinational deal that the russians had just signed on to. >> yeah, ukraine saying that the port was hit, russia's foreign ministry saying that ukrainian

naval vessel had been destroyed. so a lot of confusion about what has happened here. i want to turn now for more on the response, nada bashir, what more can you tell us about all this? >> reporter: well, as ivan mentioned, there is some uncertainty still around this and the pressure is mounting now on the turkish government to continue its role as a mediator, to continue those talks with the russian federation and to ensure that not only is russia held to account, but that this deal can be implemented. we heard from the u.n. secretary-general, he was in istanbul during that signing say mo say ceremony saying that the u.n. is concerned but it remains integral that they remain committed to this agreement because there is so much urgency around getting this grain out of ukraine and getting this operation off the ground and

running. now, we've heard the turkish government, they are continuing their technical talks and preparations alongside ukraine to get this operation going. we've heard from ukrainian officials saying they are still prepared to export this grain but the pressure is on turkey and the responsibility is on the turkish government to ensure that this can happen safely. under the terms, a joint coordination will be here in istanbul this will be charged with the spant responsibility o overseeing the passage of the vessels safely through these safe corridors. it is up to turkey now to prove that will deal can work safely and that we won't see any further attacks from the russian federation. >> all right. thank you so much, gnada bashir in istanbul and ivan watson in zaporizhzhia. so for more on this from kharkiv is ukraine security expert maria avidiva.

thank you very much for joining us. just more on this attack on odesa in the wake of this grain agreement. it is hard to get into the mind of vladimir putin of course, but what do you think is behind this see saw w of agreeing to let th grain go through and then attacking the port. >> that is usual russian tactics and russia wants to show that it can attack ukraine anywhere anytime. that is what has been done by the russian groups throughout the war and putin shows that he will not be committed to any agreements russia makes and he can do what he wants on the one hand, and on the other hand, it shows that it threatens the security of the whole black sea region and it means that even if this grain deal will be in place and the convoys of ships, export

in grain, will have the safe passage through the black sea, then it doesn't mean that russia will guarantee their security, and on the other hand, it means that the companies that are actually doing this, that are exporting the grain, that they will have a lot of problems about the assurance of general security issues because they will not be willing to enter the zone where the rockets fly and where the ships can be head by the rockets. >> you know, vladimir putin would surely -- he'd be aware of the optics. i can't see how that would be worth it just to send a message that he can attack ukraine at anytime. i mean, he does that every day. >> right, absolutely. but this grain deal was a political agreement between the four sides and as ukrainian

officials put it, what russia has done with this missile attack was on the face of the united nations and turkey who are the guarantors in this deal. and so that means that putin wants to show that he is fully control of the situation and he can do what he wants. and that means that other parties in this deal thousand h now have to show -- sorry. >> i think that we're just getting bleed through from some other audio. you can go ahead. >> yeah, sorry. i was saying that it means that russia wants to show that it completely occupies the black sea and it speaks in the face of turkey and united nations. and these two parties now have to show russia that until it fully obliges to the deal, the export of the ukrainian grain,

it remains safeless. so they have to push on russia so that it gives more guarantees that the ships entering the safe corridor will not be targeted by russia missiles. >> surely that is part of the agreement, but the parties according to our reporter there in ukraine are saying that they are meeting today and this attack is going to be part of the discussions. will they have to widen the terms here to make sure that nothing in the port is attacked to sort of guarantee that? because the u.n. was saying, well, technically they have lived up to the agreement so far because they did not attack the ships. they just talked the port, which wasn't part of it. >> that is only the excuse which russia always makes while attacking civilian infrastructure in ukraine. we have seen numerous lies like that and there is not only one

port, not only odesa, but also other ports. and if this excuse can be made by russia all the time, they can always claim that they were talking military targets which is not the case of course. and that shouldn't be -- that shouldn't give grounds for russia to continue its maligned missile terrorist attacks on ukraine. and a that should be stopped and the other parties should put it very directly, not allowing russia to use these excuses that it targets military objects, that it cannot target any scene, any target in ukraine and ports in ukraine, black seaports. that should be put very directly into the agreement and make part of it. >> i wanted to ask you about

another obstacle here. there are hundreds of mines along the black sea laid by both sides. obviously those mines will have to be swept and russia will have to be involved in that providing either intelligence as to the location of those mines that they laid if not actually helping to sweep those mines themselves. so all of that involves a great deal of trust that they will actually do this. so is that worry because if a ship carrying xwgrain hits a i mean, russia could say there is no way of knowing who put it there. >> there is no trust of russia that is absolutely sure. and about the safe passage, that was discussed here in ukraine that the ukrainian sea will not be de-mined because if it will be de-mined, it will open the seashore for possible russian landing operation. so ukraine will not de-mine the sea. but ukrainian armed forces know where the safe passage lies and

so does russian forces for their side. so what will be done, there will be a safe corridor made by a special ship and this convoy of ships export in grain will take the safe corridor. it has to be for now made so it is not yet here so we don't know where the safe corridor will go and probably it will go for example to the west of the sea l line. we still don't know. but it has to be made. and the part of this deal was that ukraine will not de-mine its course line to make it fully protected against russian landing operation. >> and we'll have to leave it there. so much at stake, food for millions of people here. thank you so much for your expertise, maria. appreciate it. >> thank you.

california's governor has declared a state of america for mariposa county due to the fast moving wildfire oig nnear yosem national park. hundreds are working to evacuate people and stop the flames from damaging the thousands of structures under threat. the fire has already destroyed some homes as it burned nearly 12,000 acres since friday. a massive plume of smoke from the oak fire towered into the sky on saturday. a passenger on a flight from san francisco snapped these photos from his window seat. and another day of blistering temperatures is expected a across parts of the u.s., some 80 million americans are under heatl alerts. forecasters say that some cities could end up seeing record-breaking temperatures and

it could feel as hot as 107 degrees farenheit in some areas. temperatures have also been reaching into the triple digits in oklahoma this week. officials in tulsa have opened cooling centers around the city to help people beat the heat. >> i get out here and i get a little -- you know, i need to stop. it is hot. >> i don't even look at the temperature because if i knew how hot it was, i wouldn't get out do anything. i like going fast but i'm not going so fast to where i'll just pass out on the road. >> in boston the extreme heat forced organizers to postpone today's triathlon until late august. it is not just the u.s. sweltering under scorching hot temperatures, europe is also facing record-breaking heat but that didn't stop thousands from coming out for the annual pride march in budapest. and there are also wildfires in several european countries. firefighters in greece worked to contain a fire that broke out inside a national park.

and we have derek van dam tracking the latest updates in the cnn weather center, but first let's go to barbie nad do barbie nadeau in rome. >> reporter: yeah, the heat is not letting up and we're not seeing the temperatures cool down even at night. not a lot of people in southern europe have air conditioning so they are trying to find ways to keep cool, going to shopping malls where there is air conditioning or going to the pools, the beach. but people are really curtailing their daily activities to try as to stay cool and not overheat. and that is especially important for the elderly and people with vulnerable health conditions. >> obviously this extends just beyond discomfort and even danger. this extreme heat and all the fire as well, they are taking a toll on the european economies as well. >> reporter: that's right.

when you look at the economic effects of the wildfires rampant in italy, spain, fortune gallon and france, you are looking at costs to income, people that make money off the forest. beekeepers in greece are facing difficulty. forests are used to make violins and they are vulnerable as well. and it costs a lot of money to fight these fires. we're seeing a lot of reports now about the economic impact that these firefighters are having on local economies at a time when gas is very expensive, it takes a lot to fuel these trucks and airplanes that they are using to douse the flames. but it goes a lot more -- it goes far beyond let's say than just the human costs. it has become an economic factor as well. >> barbie nadeau, thanks so much. now to derek van dam. let's pivot from europe to here in the u.s. where millions of americans are going to be under those heat advisories. how hot is it going to get?

>> we're packing about the entire northern hemisphere under the heat vein. a vein. this aen streetly hot setup across europe. and i'm showing you this in farenheit. you can see in the iberian peninsula, 110 degrees. and this is direct heat off of north africa. the heat will stick with us for the next foreseeable futures. temperatures in rome will be in the upper 30s, many locations will top 40 degrees across spain. and in the united states of america, now as the moments go on literally within the past ten minutes, we've seen more locations fill in on this map where the national weather service has indicated that the heat is going to be so excessive that they have to put alerts out to the general public and now we

have 90 million americans just the latest number here that are encompassed by the weather alerts, the heat alerts stretching from the east coast through the midsection to the pacific northwest. and we'll break record highs today if not high them. here is one example, boston your record high has stood for this date since 1933. that was a temperature of 98 degrees. your forecast today is 98 as well. so could tie that or if the mercury and thermometer starts to edge up closer to 100, we start to break those record highs. more of the same into new york. look at philadelphia today, we have excessive heat warnings in place for you because the national weather service anticipates triple digit heat for that city. and flipping to the west coast of the united states, this is just another image from the oeg oak fire in mayor positive a county, incredible images as wildfires continue to burn out of control. 0% containment, hundreds of firefighters battling the blaze. and by the way, kim, the air

quality in and around lake tahoe as well as yosemite will be completely impacted by this fire as it continues to burn out of control. >> yeah, that is a story we haven't been covered as much as we should, the air quality affecting the health of so many people. barbie and derek, thank you so much. pope francis is on his way to canada where he is expected to make amends for historical transgressions by the catholic church. he was in a wheelchair as he boarded his flight. he will visit edmonton and quebec city and also in the north known for the induit culture. he is expected to apologize for the indigenous assimilation of children. the white house says president joe biden continues to improve after his covid

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." joe biden's doctor says his covid symptoms continue to improve despite being in isolation, biden is participating in virtual meetings. arlette saenz has more from the white house. >> reporter: president biden's physician dr. o'connor released a letter saturday saying that the president's symptoms are improving. he detailed some of those

primary symptoms the president is experiencing including a sore throat and body aches and said that the president continues to respond well to that paxlovid treatment, that antiviral drug. and he will continue taking that medication. additionally the president has been using an albuterol inhaler as needed for a cough. he is doing that about two to three times a day. but the doctor noted that the president is not experiencing shortness of breath and that his oxygen staaturation levels rema excellent and his lungs are clear. ron klain told reporters saturday that the president is feeling pretty well and he has spent the day on the phone, including some virtual conference calls. and here is how dr. anthony fauci, the president's chief medical adviser, detailed the president's condition on saturday. >> i spoke to dr. o'connor last night at 10:00 to get an update and just as you've said and you heard, the president continues to improve. and we have every reason to

believe that he will do very well. having a runny nose, having someone who he has a history when he does get colds that have nothing to do with covid, he has a history of asthma. he has for trouble breathes at all right now. >> reporter: and dr. o'connor says that the early sequencing results have come in and he mostly has the ba.5 variant, that is the variant that the majority of americans currently contracting covid-19 here in the country are experiencing. now, while the president is isolating here at the white house, his wife, first lady jill biden, is spending the weekend up in wilmington, delaware. she has tested negative for covid-19 on saturday and is not experiencing any symptoms. she's expected to remain in delaware until at least tuesday which would mark day five of president biden's isolation. dr. o'connor says that the president will continue to

isolate according to cdc guidelines but he will leave isolation once he tests negative. arlette saenz, cnn, the white house. 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. is making this designation. here he is. >> assessment is that the risk of monkeypox is moderate globally and in all regions except in the european region where we assess the risk is high. >> while public health officials are focusing prevention efforts on men who have sex with men, experts have said that everyone is at risk of getting monkeypox. >> i have seen projections that are depending on estimates that

go from very high to very low, so i don't think that we have a stable estimate now to see what those projections will be. what i can tell you is with the scale-up of testing, with the scale-up of information that we're getting out to providers, we anticipate that there will be more cases before there are less cases. >> for more, i want to bring in dr. scott miskovitz, national consultant in the u.s. for covid-19 testing. and he is joining me from hawaii. thanks so much for being here with us, doctor. i want to start just with the importance of this declaration, how does it help. >> well, it brings public awareness, kim, and that is very important right now across the world. now, we know for example 80% of the cases or so are concentrated in europe, but we're seeing a significant surge of cases across the united states in certain regions.

and people, you know, with covid haven't been paying attention to it as much. and i think that it needs to be brought to the forefront for the medical community and the rest of the world. >> and just beyond sort of flagging it, i guess, does it also sort of release money and certain mechanisms that could help fight this? >> well, every country is going to be different. and again, two days ago the white house put out an announcement that they are going to be moving forward with some more funding to do some testing and in research associated with monkeypox. so, yes, there is no question it should push it. but again, my concern with this, kim, is it is probably a little late. you know, we're already 2 1/2 months into this and now we're starting to put this up on the front burner. >> that is exactly what i want to ask you here. in the past couple of weeks ever since monkeypox was spreading seriously around the word, i've had some members of the w.h.o.

committee on monkey world and i asked them directly why aren't they making this declaration now. and it is clear it is spreading quickly worldwide. and said essentially it doesn't meet the criteria but they will keep monitoring the situation. and i'd argue we knew all along that the declaration would have to be made. so have we lost valuable time here? >> we absolutely have lost valuable time. and when you look at the incubation period and you look at the timing of this disease, i talked to a team of epidemiologists that i have working with us, and we probably have nearly doubled the number of cases across the world because this is a little more asymptomatic and lower detected in certain groups, it is presenting a little differently. and we have waited too long no doubt. >> so we want to stress no would not is immune from this, anyone can get the virus, but it is worth highlighting that

overwhelmingly the cases have been among men who have sex with men. we in the media and health officials, we don't want to stigmatize any communities, but if we do shy away from stressing who is at most risk here and how the disease seems to be transmitted, which seems to be through sex at least right now, aren't we doing the public a disservice here? >> yeah, i mean, we do need to highlight that. no question about it. but let's look at the united states. we have an infant and toddler who have contracted the disease. there are approximately i think eight women that have contracted the disease. so what we are concerned about is this can be spread through contact drop lets, so spread through towels and sheets. and another thing we're worried about, if it gets into the community of sex workers, that can broaden the spread. and so we have a lot to stop

right now, kim, because it can start breaking out of just the men having sex with men community very quickly. >> yeah, as we've seen with other diseases. we'll have to leave it there. but really appreciate your expertise. thanks for joining us. and families in uvalde, texas are waiting until longer for some accountability over the botched law enforcement response to the mass shooting at robb elementary school. we'll have details on the latest obstacle delaying justice when we return.

>> you're done. you're done. you're done. >> what you are seeing there, that video shows 43-year-old david jakubonis walking on stage and grabbing zeldin who is running for this morning governor during a campaign event on thursday. court documents describe the suspect using a self-defense key chain as a weapon. he was tackled by others and zeldin was unharmed. jakubonis was arrested and released shortly afterwards. families in uvalde, texas who want the school district's police chief fired will have to wait. the superintendent says a meeting on the issue will be rescheduled, quote, in the very they're future. the school board called the meeting off, saturday's planned meeting, after the attorney for pete arredondo gave notice of his due process rights. the police chief is on administrative leave and facing intense criticism over his handling of the law enforcement response, the massacre at robb

elementary. but at rosa flores results, uvalde families also want the superintendent and the whole school board to step down. >> reporter: it is moments like these that have theictims of thl master outraged. and demanding that disgraced uvalde school police chief pete arredondo lose his job. after surveillance video and texas house report showed that he and hundreds of law enforcement officers responded to the scene with some waiting for 77 minutes to stop the shooter. arredondo told the texas tribune that he didn't instruct officers not to breach the classrooms. garcia was among the 19 students and two teachers massacred. >> spiderman was his favorite super hero. >> reporter: and his uncle bret cross who was raising him like a son carries his ashes on a bracelet.

of you board members because y'all do not give a damn about our children or us. >> reporter: that was cross on monday. so the school board missed its deadline. the school board was scheduled to meet saturday regarding arredondo's termination. but at his attorney's request, the meeting will be held at a later date. >> it is too little too late. so therefore we'll start at the top and clean house. >> reporter: cross, and many in the community, are calling for the superintendent, the school board and the entire school police department to be replaced. >> my kids are terrified to go to school. they are hurt. they are devastated. they pose questions that i can't answer. >> what do they ask you? >> why? i mean, they ask me why. why? why -- my other son said because he wasn't there at school that day, said he wished he would have gone and he could have traded him places.

no kid should have to feel that way. he said i'm bigger than him. he can't -- mi mean, he's broke. he's broken. i can't take away his heartache. >> reporter: murals are going up around town as the community tries to find ways to heal, cope and remember. >> spiderman saying i love you in sign language. >> reporter: cross got a tattoo in his honor with 21 birds in the sky, one for each victim. >> hug your kids a little extra longer because you never know the last time when you will get to see him. >> reporter: cnn has reached out to arredondo's attorney and the school district about this story and has not heard back. the school district has previously said that they were waiting for the texas house

china has successfully launched the second module for the tiangong space station, one

step closer to completing construction by the end of the year. the laboratory module was launched earlier today. it will dock with the space station's core module some 13 hours after launch. the war in ukraine has been raging for five months, but russian and european astronauts are still working together on the international space station. in spite of personal feelings about the ongoing conflict, there is work that needs to be done. kristin fisher has the story. >> this is mission control houston. the hatch is open. >> reporter: it is rare for a european astronaut to put on a russian spacesuit and do a spacewalk with a cosmonaut. but even more unusual given the war in ukraine raging a few hundred miles below, especially since this cosmonaut is one of

the three pictures here photographed a few weeks ago with the flags of two russian occupied regions in ukraine. the other spacewalker is samantha christopher eddie with the european space agency or esa. >> it is your time to shine. >> i think samantha doing that spacewalk with oleg, optics aren't the greatest, but work that needs to get done. >> reporter: scott tell kelly s nearly three months in space with her. and the mission is to attach the robotic arm. the same robotic arm that the former head of russia space agency instructed khazzacosmona stop using after europe killed a separate space project with russia over objections to the war in ukraine. dimitri ways removed just days
