hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and around the world. i'm lynda kinkade. good to have you with us. ahead on "cnn newsroom," biden's big week. we'll take a look at the measure aimed at bringing inflation relief and what has to happen next for it to pass. plus from severe droughts to intense wildfires extreme weather is impacting much of the globe. we'll go live to the cnn weather center for the latest.

and explosions and sirens burglary throughout the night as palestinian fire rockets in response to deadly air strikes. we'll go live to southern israel for more on the escalating tensions. well, the crucial part of president biden's ledgislative agenda appears to be closing in on the closing line. it's set to begin today in the senate. the so-called inflation reduction act includes a $369 billion investment in energy and climate programs. it's the largest in u.s. history. the democrats are still waiting to find out if they can even pass this with a simple party line vote. and it all comes after a week of big achievements for the biden

administration. cnn's jeremy diamond explains. >> today we received another outstanding jobs report. >> reporter: tonight president biden hailing another strong jobs report and promising more relief to americans struggling with stubbornly high prices. >> today there are more people working in america than before the pandemic began. in fact, there are more people working in america than at any point in american history. >> reporter: the unemployment rate dipping to 3.5% as the economy added 528,000 jobs last month bucking expectations and tampering down fears of a recession. but a strong jobs report will do little to beat back inflation, americans' number one concern. >> i know people will hear today's extraordinary jobs report and say they don't see it, they don't feel it in their own lives. i know how hard it is. i know how hard it is to feel good about job creation when you already have a job and you're dealing with rising prices, food and gas and so much more.

>> reporter: on that front, too, biden citing progress. >> we now have more than 50 straight days of falling gas prices in this country. >> reporter: gas prices are down 91 cents per gallon from their june peak, and biden appears closer than ever to a big legislative win. with a bill to empower medicare and make corporations pay a 15% minwoman tax. the last democratic hold out, senator kyrsten sinema signing on but annal after democratic leaders agreed to add about $5 billion in drought relief funding and remove a provision that would have elameinated the carried interest loophole. the senate deal and strong jobs report capped a week of political wins for biden that began with the kill of al-qaeda's leader. >> the mission was success. >> reporter: a also included a passage of a bill expanding care

to veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. biden set to extend that positive streak next week signing the chips act into law, investing billions into u.s. semiconductor production. and as democrats prepare to bring that climate change investment and health care reform bill to the floor of the senate, they're touting and they're really focusing in on the effects this bill is going to have an inflation. they've named the bill, of course, the inflation reduction act. and here at the white house they've been eager to point out this is a piece of legislation they believe will help cut costs for families. the reality is most economists when they analyze this bill they say in the short-term it's going to have very little to no impact on inflation. in the long-term, though, they say perhaps towards the end of this decade there will be an impact -- a measurable impact to bring down inflation. but of course most americans are looking for relief right now. that's why the white house is saying that these drug pricing provisions that will allow

medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, that's going to be game changer for many families struggling with those high prices right now. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. right-wing conspiracy theorist alex jones is finding out the hard way that there's a price to pay for his outrageous lies about the mass shooting at sandy hook. 26 people were killed in that massacre at a connecticut elementary school. 20 of those were children. cnn's drew griffon has more on the verdict and what happens next. >> the jury in travis county, texas, came back after an afternoon of deliberations with a stunning amount, $45.2 million. that is going to be added onto the already $4 million they awarded earlier this week for a total of $49 million in payments that alex jones may have to make to the parents. there is a statutory cap limit on some of the punitive damages

which could reduce the amount. but still in all this was a whopper decision for the plaintiffs in this case, the parents of a victim of a shooting that alex jones for years said didn't happen. he is going to have to pay apparently a big sum, and he faces two more trials very similar to this, which means alex jones' troubles have only just begun. drew griffon, cnn, atlanta. >> the mother who brought the lawsuit and whose child was killed in that shooting reacted to the jury's latest yesterday against the infowars host. >> we can choose love and that we're all responsible for one another, care and concern is so important. and we saw what happens when there is a dearth of that. and so i hope we all go home tonight and everyone reading these articles and hearing this message and you choose love with your kids because you can, realize that you have a choice

and your choice is love. >> after the verdict jones' lawyer spoke to reporters about his clients reaction. >> he'll be on the air next week. he's going to keep doing his job, holding the power structure accountable. his reaction was that, you know, he'd been found guilty before he ever had a chance to defend this case on the merits, that the first amendment is under siege, and he looks forward to continuing the fight. >> jones' attorneys are due back in court september 14th for a pretrial hearing in the case of two other parents whose children died thin sandy hook shooting. northern europe are breathing a sigh of relief. the heat there has eased at least a bit, but across southern

europe it's like nature's blast furnish. it's still blowing strong. it's not as hot as it has been, but still sweltering, and it's not just the heat. it's also the drought conditions making life miserable in many places. in england scientists say the drought has called the head waters of river thames to dry up. add to that a looming water crisis in france, a government minister there saying this. >> translator: there are already more than 100 municipalities in france that today have no more drinking water and which supplies are being transported by truck to these municipalities because there is nothing left in the pipes. >> the heat and dry conditions adding to the risk of wildfires. the fire in northern spain has already burned more than 850 acres. that's 350 hectares, and it's threatening homes in the area. authorities have called in

planes, helicopters and at least 30 ground crews as well as the military to help fight the fast moving fire. and amid the flames and the drought, a new record. a town in iran now has the dubious record of posting the hottest temperature of the year so far, 53 degrees celsius. that's 127.4 degrees fahrenheit. well, here in the u.s. heat advisories are up through the weekend in boston and philadelphia. heat alerts continue for the central u.s. dallas has been sweltering with temps in the triple digits almost every day of the past month. and the heat is about to start building in the pacific northwest with portland, oregon, nearing the century mark by sunday. in kentucky still suffering from deadly floods, more heavy rain is expected. flash flood watches are up across parts of the state inundated by recent heavy rains, and the waters extend into ohio

and west virginia. joining me now is meteorologist derek van dam. >> you know, from the middle east all the way to europe to north america, it feels like the whole northern hemisphere is literally baking, and it quite literally is. look what's happening across the u.s. and we talk about the ongoing drought. get this, the past four weeks have had 50% or greater of the continuous united states under drought conditions. and across the east coast we have seen what is called a flash out. this is the rapid on set of drought conditions occur. look at the difference between may of this year through august. now starting to see some of that moderate to severe drought especially into coastal massachusetts and into maine and connecticut as well as rhode island. of course when you have drought conditions like this, we get wildfires. we have 70 active large wildfires burning across 14 individual states. the heat is ongoing across the central interior, excessive heat

warnings just posted for the omaha region. and across the east coast more heat to contend with, new york, philadelphia, richmond, and temperatures will soar to the upper 90s. that's middle 30s for your afternoon. 34 degrees celsius for the big apple, to be specific. now, let's talk about what's happening across the iberian peninsula because firefighters are still battling their situation. across the european union from the joint research center they've had their second largest area burn since records began, that is over two times the size of luxembourg, the area of luxembourg. that is how much area has been burned so far this year to date across the european union. incredible amounts of heat, dry condition. you heard linda talk about the drought ongoing across italy as well as france. well, it continues right through the next several days, several

weeks. it is not showing any signs of abating. in fact, paris' seven-day forecast shows a gradual increase in our temperatures. some of our extended long-range model we look at another impending heat wave across western europe. so be prepared, berlin, germany and into london as well. and then we take you into the middle east. the hottest temperature recorded so far here on earth this year, 53 degrees. it's 127 degrees fahrenheit. what in the world is happening? it's all thanks to a high pressure firmly in place. that is associated with sinking air, clear skies and sunshine and maximum heat across that region. >> what in the world, 53 degrees celsius. it's hard to even imagine just how hot that must feel. derek van dam, staying cool at least here in the cnn center. thanks so much. israel says nearly 200 militant rockets have been fired

after an israeli air strike killed a commander from islamic jihad. we'll have a live report just ahead. plus china putting on a massive show of strength in the waters around taiwan in the last few days after the u.s. house speaker's visit. we'll have the latest on that after the break. stay with us. you're watching cnn. meet ron. that man is always on. and he's on it with jardiance for type 2 diabetes. his underhand sky serve? on fire. his grilling ge? on point. and his a1c? n is on it. with t once-daily pill, jardiance. jardiance not only lowers a1c... it goes beyond to reduce with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. and jardiance may help you lose some weight.

so you won't miss an opportunity israel says militants in gaza fired nearly 200 rockets towards israel in retaliation for air strikes that killed a senior commander of islamic jihad. islamic military says either most of the rockets intercepted or fell into open areas. on saturday israel says 19 members of islamic jihad were arrested in raids in the west bank. according to the palestinian health ministry at least 11 people have been killed by israeli air strikes including a 5-year-old girl, 75 other people were wounded.

a journalist joins us live from southern israel, and of course this is the most serious escalation in violence in over a year. what triggered this latest flare up? >> well, that's right, linda. this is the worst escalation of violence between israel and palestinian militant factions based in the gaza strip since the 11-day war last may, may 2021 that lasted 11 days between israel and hamas. really tensions have been running high in the city where we are right now and the wider region and the gaza strip for most of the past week. early monday morning israeli security services launched a nighttime raid to nab what they say is a senior jihad commander in the northern west bank city, that was in the west bank not in the gaza strip. but in retaliation islamic jihad vowed to avenge that arrest. israeli intelligence said it had concrete information of a

potential islamic jihad cross border attack from gaza into southern israel targeting israeli civilians or soldiers. for the past four days or so the wider region, parts of it have been in essentially lock down, and israel friday afternoon apparently lost patience and preempted that attack with those initial air strikes inside gaza. >> and so far we know at least 11 people killed in israeli air strikes including a 5-year-old girl. what's the risk that this could escalate further? >> well, in the middle east in this part of the world escalation is always a possibility, really over the past 30 minutes we've seen an escalation of the jihad rocket fire not only into southern israel but also into central israel for the first time since last night. the israeli prime minister has made clear yesterday in an address to the israeli public and the national community that

his beef his fight, israel's fight wasn't with the wider gazan people. to quote he said our fight is not with the people of gaza but with jihad. the head of islam acjihad he said is in tehran as we speak. we will do whatever to defend our people. that's what the prime minister said yesterday evening. we should say the only silver lining in a day of escalation of violence here in israel and the gaza strip is that hamas the larger and stronger of the militant groups in the gaza strip has so far not gotten involved. it's really only a fight that the moment between islamic jihad and the military. it's not talking about a cease-fire and it will continue to fight back against what it said was the israeli occupation and was to do whatever it takes. we're seeing that over the past 30 minutes an escalation is a

detinct posaensibility. >> thanks very much. taiwan says it detected multiple chinese aircraft and navy vessels operating along the strait this morning. the halfway point between the self-governing island and china. taiwan's defense ministry says the activity could be a possible simulated attack. it comes just hours after u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi's trip to the endo pacific region ended. she left japan early friday morning, but it was her trip to taiwan that dominated the spotlight. cnn correspondent salina wang in beijing and has the latest from the chinese capital. salina? >> linda, the fallout from house speaker nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan continues with china ramping up its military and diplomatic backlash. what china is calling its

largest ever military drill around taiwan is continuing. beijing is sending the world the message that its powerful military has the ability to choke taiwan off from the rest of the world. rockets from china launched towards the taiwan strait. chinese fighter jets approach the island. beijing ramps up its intimidation of taiwan over u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi's visit. china says it's staging a blockade around the island. on thursday chinese state media reported missiles flew over taiwan for the first time before falling into nearby waters. beijing then announced it's suspending cooperation with the u.s. on key issues including talks between defense leaders and coordination over immigration, international crime, illegal drugs and climate talks. >> china is lobbing missiles all around taiwan, they've decided they're going to cut off communications with the u.s., which just adds to the possibility of a miscommunication by either side.

>> reporter: the u.s. and china are blaming each other. >> china has chosen to overreact and use speaker pelosi's visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity. there is no justification for this extreme, disproportionate and escalatory military response. >> translator: the u.s. and some of its lackeys jumped out to accuse china of overreacting. if they really worry about the regional peace and stability why didn't they send out earlier to prevent pelosi from paying the provocative visit to taiwan? >> reporter: china flew an unprecedented number of fighter jets across the median line of the taiwan strait. they were excited to get so close to the island. >> translator: when i overlooked the coastline of the taiwan island, my determination to safeguard the territorial integrity of the motherland became more firm. >> reporter: all of this rage just over a two-day visit.

pelosi's presence in taiwan a slap in the face to beijing which insists the self-governed island is a rebel chinese province. pelosi is out of taiwan but left a crisis behind her. many in the region fear that beijing's retaliation is just getting started. now climate change has been one of the only areas where u.s. and china have been talking despite recent tensions. but now even that window for dialogue is being cut off. all of this further damages already strained u.s.-china relations. but when it comes to these military exercises that china is carrying out, military experts tell me they could not have all been planned right when news about pelosi's possible visit came out. they were likely planned long ago, but by ppegging it to pelosi visit that's whipped up support at home.

disturbing indications north korea may be ramping up its nuclear ambitions. satellite images show new structures being built at north korea's nuclear test site. it comes as the confidential u.n. report obtained by cnn says pyeongyang is taking steps to prepare for a future nuclear test. it's conducted six nuclear tests. the u.n. report says development has been ongoing there as well as at other locations. u.s. secretary of state antony blinking is on a visit to the philippines where he's been meeting with government officials. blinken met with the president and with the foreign affairs secretary in manila. after their talks blinken spoke about the escalating tensions between china and the u.s. over house speaker nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan. >> since the peoples republic of china launched nearly a dozen

ballistic missiles towards taiwan two days ago we've been hearing from allies and partners across the region who are deeply concerned about the destabilizing and dangerous actions. maintaining peace and stability across the taiwan strait is vital not only for taiwan but for the philippines and many other countries. what happens in the taiwan strait affects the entire region. in many ways it affects the entire world because the strait like the south china sea is a critical waterway. >> well, some ukrainian civilians still have a way to cross from one side of the front lines to the other. but many of them are headed in a direction you may not expect. we'll explain next. plus the candidates going head to head. the kenya's presidency wrap up their campaign rallies. we'll take a look at the race and d what's at stake. fine lines i in 1-week,

welcome back, to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm lynda kinkade, and this is "cnn newsroom." russia claims at least three people were killed in a ukrainian attack in the occupied east. ukraine says russian rockets hit the grounds of the nuclear plant on friday. one rocket reportedly struck near that nuclear reactor, but russia claims ukrainian forces have conducted the strikes. russian forces have occupied the plants for months and have been accused of using it as a fortress to launch attacks from.

>> translator: the occupiers created another extremely risky situation for everyone in europe. they fired that the zaporizhzhia twice unone day. this is the largest nuclear plant in our continent. the one who creates nuclear threats to other nations is definitely not capable of using nuclear technologies safely. >> well, ukraine is hoping to start exploiting up to 5 million tons of grain per month. grain exports are starting to trickle out following an agreement signed in turkey. we now want to take you to one of ukraine's so-called green corridors. their routes civilians can still take to cross between russian and ukrainian held territory. as our nic robertson reports some of them are headed to areas still controlled by russia. >> reporter: waging and raging,

families, pets, possessions load them down, all crossing to the russian occupied territory south of zaporizhzhia. this is what's slowing everything up here, the deep mud, cars just getting bogged down, sliding all over. this one just managing to get through, and the reason they're coming this way, quite simple, the bridges are blown up. ukrainian emergency services doing their best to get people through the rain sodden fields. we've had to drag a few trucks out today, the commander says, but it's drying out and getting easier. known as the green corridor, it's where people cross to and from russian occupied territory. but on this day the traffic almost entirely one way, an estimated 6,000 people stuck on the russian side, only 76 crossed. many, many hundreds went the

other way. where are you going? >> to kherson? >> reporter: why? >> because my parents live in kherson. >> everyone leaving ukrainian controlled territory telling us a similar thing, they expect to come back even if it appears they're not. i'm taking my mother to the other side, he says, and picking up my grandmother. when we ask why he's taking his young daughter, he shrugs. if they were going to live on the russian side, no one willing to admit it. the route working so well this day several trucks taking the chance to turn a profit. this man has a van loaded with pepsi and toilet paper telling us he's taking it to market. the emergency services here say that on a normal day they get traffic coming from the occupied

russian controlled side. today it's different. they understand that there'll be nobody -- nobody else coming from the russian side today. no one any wiser while the russians are still blocking so many desperate to leave. nic robertson, cnn, ukraine. >> well, the white house says comments president biden made about being hopeful about brittney griner's release don't reflect any developments behind the scenes. it comes after the american basketball star was sentenced to nine years in prison by a russian court this week for drug smuggling. the u.s. calls her detention wrongful. >> i'm hopeful. we're working hard. >> secretary of state antony blinken says the u.s. will pursue russia's willingness to discuss a prisoner swap. the u.s. had offered to trade

the imprisoned russian arms trafficker it's holding for griner and veteran paul wheland who's also detained in russia. hundreds have ataken to the streets to protest a u.s. drone strike that killed al-qaeda leader ayman al-zawahiri. taliban officials posted photos and videos on social media showing protests across the country. despite the successful strike u.s. officials are concerned about the growing threat of terrorism coming from afghanistan. take a listen to fbi director christopher wray. >> i'm worried about the possibility that we'll see al-qaeda reconstitute, the isis-k potentially taking advantage of the deteriorating security environment. and i'm worried about terrorists including here in the united states being inspired by what they see over there.

>> well, the two candidates vying to be kenya's next president have yappedp their campaigns ahead of what is said to be a hotly contested vote. deputy president and the opposition leader both held their final rallies friday. kenyans headed to the polls tuesday. cnn has been speaking to both candidates in the capital n nairobi. >> we will will these elections. >> we're very confident we are going to win these elections. >> the 35-year-old calls himself -- >> -- is to focus on infrastructure that not only drives our economy but intentionally, deliberately creates jobs. >> what is the difference between you as a candidates and

your manu ponent who you were allies before? >> i have a plan, he doesn't. when i listen to their complaint, they don't really have the detail on what they want to do. he's a good old man, but i don't think today he has the capacity to pull this country from where it is. at 77 the former prime minister is running for what he says is the fifth and last attempt to lead kenya. >> i'm younger than putin and biden. i don't think age has anything to do with it. i think it's about the plan that somebody has for our country. >> reporter: if you were to win the presidency, what do you need to do fast to solve some of the problems kenya faces? >> i don't want to see a

syndrome manifest here in the country, so we have things we're going to look at to keep costs down in order to amelioriate the suffering of our people. >> reporter: both sides accuse the other of corruption and both claim to have a solution. >> we run a real high risk of running this country using cartels and people will not be elected, people who will be in shadows. >> reporter: your main challengers accuse you of becoming corrupt, if you become president this country will be even more corrupt than it is right now. what's your response to that? >> we're going to bring institutions to make sure that any corrupt person including the president can be prosecuted. >> more than $16 million is stolen from the kenyan

government every day. president kenyatta claimed last year a staggering figure for a poor nation. >> when we address this what we are going to get is going to be more than what would require to fund the projects that we're talking about. >> so your plan is to deal with the corruption so that more money is available? every government promises that, but it never happens. >> we're not going to make any compromises. nobody is going to be indispensable including me myself in the fight against corruption. >> reporter: cnn, nairobi. when we come back demand for the monkeypox vaccine outstripping supply. america's top disease expert says could be a potential solution to the problem.

lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. tastes great in our iced coffees too. which makes waking up at 5 a.m. to milk the cows a little easie (moo) mabel ys for you, man: mom, really?

welcome back. a report from the u.s. centers for disease control reveals that monkeypox is disproportionately affecting the black and hispanic communities. among cases 94% were in men who reported repeat sexual or close intimate contact with another man, and more than half the cases are among black and hispanic people. authors of the report say public health efforts should prioritize gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. but it is important to note that anyone can get the disease. one of the chief concerns of health experts in the u.s. is a lack of vaccines to combat monkeypox. considering a rule change to using a one dose vial to administer separate doses. infectious disease expert dr. anthony fauci says it's worth considering. >> i think if you can show, and there are studies that do show

that, that if you administer it in a different way for example invuvenous versus subcutaneous, you can get a comparable response at maybe one-fifth of the dose. so i think it's something worth pursuing. whether they're actually going to be able to do that, i'll leave that up to the fda. but up to approach that as an alternative way, i very much am in favor of. >> well, in the meantime lines to get the vaccine are very long. and there are concerns over both the lack of supply and the lack of urgency. here's cnn's david coalver. >> reporter: we started early just before 6 a.m., our destination familiar to our uber driver. we were her third passenger that morning also headed to san francisco's zuckerberg general hospital. as we arrived so too the sun revealing a line with dozens mostly men camped out, waiting. some nearly all night.

right under my skin. so there are points i couldn't walk, i couldn't touch things, really difficult. >> reporter: kevin says his symptoms lasted some two weeks. he chronicled his recovery on social media. >> i think i really didn't want to be alone. i wanted to connect with people and see if other people were also experiencing what i was. >> reporter: a familiar sentiment for long time lgbtq advocates living and working in san francisco's famed castro district. >> you get a sense there's this growing uneasiness around monkeypox. for a lot of people it's eerily reminiscent what they experienced here in the early '80s with aids crisis. there's violence, there's fear, there's stigma. >> we have a responsibility to not further stigmatize or politicize this issue for a community that has long-faced many issues dating all the way back to the earliest days of the hiv epidemic.

>> reporter: facing mounting criticisms for its handling of the outbreak, on thursday the biden administration declared monkeypox a public health emergency. >> the feeling that this is not getting the attention that it would if it were impacting straight people, you know, is real. >> reporter: back on san francisco's front lines cody erins makes his third attempt to get vaccinated against the virus. off camera a hospital staffer updates the crowd. just 45 minutes into the hospital's distribution -- >> no guarantee for vaccines. >> reporter: they had already reached their daily limit. david colver, cnn, san francisco. we are going to take a quick break. we'll be right back. stick with us. you're watching cnn.

debris. officials there saying the park received 1.46 inches of rain almost matching the daily previous record. in most of the west the problem is not enough water as the western u.s. faces an unprecedented drought due to climate change. in fact, a water war is brewing between colorado and nebraska over access to the river. cnn's stephanie elam reports how one of those states is evoking a centuries old deal to get more water from the other. >> just make it known that water is life here. >> reporter: sue carter is among those in colorado who fear their lifeline is caught in a tug-of-war. >> we go through droughts over 20 yearso so but nothing of this magnitude. >> reporter: not only has tom check had a front row seat to a punishing drought but also to a brewing battle between states. >> we're in for a wave of water rights battles throughout the

west. it's going to between urban and ag areas, between states. >> reporter: case in point california and the south flat river which flows from the rocky mountains into nebraska. in january nebraska dusted off a 99-year-old compact between the two states announcing a plan to build canals from colorado land to syphon water during the nonirrigation months in the fall and winter. >> without this compact and our ability to enforce our rights, we'd receive a dramatic impact upon our state. >> reporter: why now? nebraska points to colorado's ever growing population and its estimate of nearly $10 billion for 282 new projects along the south plat. >> should all the long-term goals be affected? they would reduce the amount of water flows coming to the state of #by 90%. >> the fact is many of those projects are not necessarily

going to come to fruition. >> reporter: colorado state leaders have raised an eyebrow at nebraska's plans. in a statement to cnn the colorado governor calls it a political stunt saying outgoing governor rickets is wasting taxpayer dollars. is nebraska getting its fair share of water? >> in the 99-year history of the compact we have complied with those provisions of the compact. >> reporter: i'm walking in the original canal nebraska started to build in the 1890s but never finished. now more than century later if they were to come back to this area they'd have to navigate things like interstate 76 as well as take over private lands. how do you feel about them potentially coming to grab this land? >> well, obviously nobody wants to lose any of their property. >> reporter: this land belongs to jay, a fifth generation rancher in this part of colorado who could see part of his land taken by nebraska under imminent domain. but more important, he says, is what the canal might do to the

overall hemalth of the river. >> we have a lot of good wildlife, geese, turkey, deer. i'm worried it'll dry up the river at the wrong time. >> reporter: in nebraska -- >> here's the difference between a good farmer and a bad farmer is a timely rain. >> reporter: farmer darrell afrm r armstrong wants assurances the river won't be allowed to run dry. yet he says he's seeing less and less water coming down the river, so for him it is less about colorado versus nebraska and more about urban growth versus agriculture. >> a lot of the agreements have been made that we're coming up short. >> reporter: it's just the beginning of a new era of water wars in an age of unprecedented climate change as rivers dry up and desperation flows. >> human nature is our biggest barrier, i believe, in trying to manage water in the west. >> reporter: stephanie elam, cnn at the colorado-nebraska border.
