12:00 am
we are not. >> women didn't make their own movies. are you craze she in >> i have director approval, and that is true. >> she got everything she wanted. >> people think "some like it hot" is the greatest comedy of all time. >> she was at the height of her success and all of the sudden the curtain came down. it's like wait a minute, the movie's not over. welcome to all of you watching around the world. forces in gaza and israel exchange rocket fire and blame each other. we'll take you to southern israel for the latest. plus a dangerous strike that could lead to nuclear disaster has the iaea chief pushing for a mission to ukraine. and long covid is much more prevalent than originally thought. details of the latest study and how the world is managing.
12:01 am
live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom," with lynda kincaid. >> well, it's 10:00 a.m. in israel and gaza. day three of deepening hostilities that began friday with israeli airstrikes in gaza which have since escalated in rockets fired toward israel. they say an israeli airstrike is to blame for killing people on saturday. the israeli military deny it is was responsible and released video that it says show as militant rocket going off course. israel says that's what cause thad deadly explosion. cnn can't verify either claim. here's what one palestinian woman said after her home was
12:02 am
destroyed. >> translator: i started to cry and scream. and then the drone hit. and after that, there was an airstrike, which, as can you see, put our homes to the ground. all of that was destroyed. what can i do? where will we go tonight? >> cities across southern israel have been sounding warning sirens as militant rockets streak out of gaza by the dozens. the israeli military say the majority are being shot down or hitting unpopulated areas. one did strike a high-rise building very close to gaza. one israeli resident says the situation is different from previous confrontations. take a listen. >> translator: this time they are hitting the islamist jihad. it's the real way to deal with the situation right now. although we know that it is not the solution. the solution is talk.
12:03 am
>> our journalist joins us. good to have you with us. the death toll has risen including several children and also a top militant. >> reporter: that's right, lynda. the situation continues. we've been hearing more thuds of iron dome batteries taking down rockets being fired actually towards jerusalem for the first time this morning. you mentioned of course in the introduction the explosion in which the hamas-run health ministry in gaza says seven people, including four children were killed. as you say, israel say this is was due to a misfired rocket from islamic jihad. the prime minister's spokesperson outlining precisely why it is so sure that was the case. >> there was no israeli activity in the gaza strip, in that area
12:04 am
or at that time. islamic jihad is killing children in gaza. one in five fired towards israel lands inside the gaza strip. iran's proxy, including islamic jihad have a long history of hiding behind civilians to target israeli civilians. >> reporter: and in the last few minutes we've had a briefing from the israeli defense force's spokesperson saying for at least two hours before the explosion there was no israeli activity at all. the last activity from israel being in the northwest of the gaza strip. he added in terms of the end game if you like, for the current operation, he said the quiet will be met with quiet. if they stand down and stop firing it will be quiet. lynda? >> and elliot, israel is targeting the palestinian islamic jihad, a group in gaza. explain first the difference
12:05 am
between that group and hamas, which rules the enclave. >> so islamic jihad is smaller. they're both islamist groups and bent on the destruction of israel. they reject any accommodation with israel or a two-state solution. islamic jihad is much closer to the iranians. and we see reports of the head of islamic jihad meeting with iran and the revolutionary guard corps. it's not the first time that it's carried out attacks against israel where hamas has effectively sat by. it did so in 2019, for example. and i think what's very interesting here is that while hamas has been trying to have this delicate balance between supporting in its words resistance against israel and not getting involved, israel has been very pointedly noting in all ofi its communications that it is targeting islamic jihad,
12:06 am
whether it's workshops or rocket launches or tunnel, and it is not targeting hamas. israel's prime minister says israel doesn't seek a broader confrontation, but at the same time, it would not shy away from one if that were to be the case. hamas put out a statement ahead of today which is an important day in the jewish calendar, the second-most important fast after yom kippur, and it warned against what it described as jewish extremists storming the temple mount. more than usual were expected to mark the occasion. so farthings are relatively calm and no sign at least yet that hamas is going to enter the fray. if that does happen, all bets are off in terms of when and if this kind of flareup is going to end, lynda.
12:07 am
>> we will stay on this story and speak to you soon. thanks very much. several countries set to meet monday at the united nations to discuss the latest violence in the middle east >> united area emirates have requested a meeting. france is calling for all parties to exercise restraint and says civilians will be the first victims of any further escalation. russia is also seriously concerned about the conflict and call for all parties to return to a sustainable cease-fire. the head of the international nuclear energy commission says there could have been a nuclear disaster in ukraine. they are still trading blame over who's responsible.
12:08 am
president zelenskyy's pointing a finger at russia and says ukraine will try to make moscow pay for what it allegedly did. >> translator: unfortunately, we have a significant worsening of the situation around the zap rhesa nuclear power plant. russian terrorists became the first in the world to use a nuclear plant for terror, the biggest in europe. we will draw the world's attention to this and insist on new sanctions against russia for creating such a global threat. >> jason carroll has been reporting on this story and joins us live from kyiv. good to have you with us, jason. let's start with that threat to europe's largest nuclear plant. is it damaged? what's the latest? >> reporter: well, look, it is an extremely grave situation according to reports coming from the ground. that because of the missile strikes in and around the
12:09 am
facility, one reof the reactors power had to be shut to one of those reactors. no independent eyes on what is happening there. that is why there is this push to get experts in there to accurately evaluate exactly what's happening there. again, this is the biggest, the largest nuclear power plant in all of europe. the russians and ukrainians, again, as you say have been trading jabs in terms of who was responsible for the missile strikes there. what we can tell you is that ukrainians have been working there at the facility ever since russia has taken over the facility. they seized the facility in early march. ukrainians are there working alongside them. president zelenskyy weighing in saying this is not just a danger for ukraine but a danger for all of europe if people aren't allowed to get in there and accurately see what's going on. now the head of the iaea has also weighed in on this issue. he said the following.
12:10 am
he said i'm extremely concerned b by the shelling yesterday at europe's second largest nuclear power plant which heightens the risk to the environment and people. there has been no significant damage to the reactors, no radiation leak, but once again there are no independent eyes on the ground at this point, lynda. that's why the eu is urging russia to allow folks in there to accurately get an assessment of what is going on. lynda? >> and of course, jason, it is difficult to estimate the death toll on either side. but ukraine has released some new data in terms of the number of children killed and injured since russia began this invasion. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: well, in terms of that number, it can be, you know, we spoke to an expert over
12:11 am
the weekend who basically said that the numbers could be even higher, because it's, it's very difficult to determine how many children are injured, how many children have been killed in the occupied territories when you look at what's happening in the east and in the southern part of ukraine, but it's very clear that children are bearing the brunt of this war. >> all right, jason carroll in kyiv for us. thanks very much. well, as jason was just explaining, it is tricky to understand the true death toll from russia's invasion in ukraine. but at least for now ukrainian authorities are rt are reportin that at least 361 children have been killed. the ukrainian prosecutor general's office says the n numbers could rise as they collect more information. more than 2200 schools have been damaged, including the school here west of kyiv. of those schools, 230 have been
12:12 am
completely destroyed. donetsk, kharkiv and the area around the capital listed as the regions with the most child fatalities. ukraine's grain exports are picking up speed raising hope that more food could be on the way soon to people who need it most. four more grain ships are set to leave ukrainian ports in the coming hours. and for the first time since the war began, a vessel coming from abroad came to ukraine to load grain. a number of ships have been stranded since the war began. 47 million people are estimated to having trouble putting food on the table because of the war. the food exports are good news, but it shouldn't be taken for granted. >> translator: we managed to resume exports of agricultural products. our ports are again operating, and although it is too soon to
12:13 am
make a general statement, we can say it is positive for our state and our partners. however the key risk, security has not been lifted. terrorist acts remain. everyone should be aware of this. if our partners fulfill their part of the commitment and guarantee the security of supplies, this will really solve the global food crisis. >> taiwan's premier calls china's exercises around taiwan's strait arrogant and accuses china of disrupting regional peace and stability. this after the ministry says multiple aircraft, vessels and drones were detected sunday morning and they intruded on islands controlled by taiwan. the military described the drills after house speaker nancy pelosi arrived in taiwan last week as quote, a simulated attack against the main island of taiwan. china's military says the drills were conducted as planned,
12:14 am
focussing on joint fire and airstrike capabilities. we're more than two years into the covid pandemic and the world is facing another threat from the virus. coming up, how long covid is sidelining millions of people around the world. and how this once adult entertainer wants to share his experience with monknkeypox to help educate others. 24 for smoos and vitamin c for brightness. i like to use ththem all! olayay. face anything.
12:15 am
12:16 am
12:17 am
12:18 am
welcome back. potentially a hopeful sign in the fight against covid-19 as countries around the world report a slowdown in new cases. and while some countries including russia have seen a dramatic rise of new infections over the last week, the global tally of new cases was down 9% compared to the week before. here in the u.s., president joe biden has tested negative for covid after a week-long rebound infection. his doctors say mr. bide wn wil remain in isolation until he tests negative a second time. even as the rate of covid
12:19 am
slows, another pandemic is looming as people around the world cope with long covid. some have symptoms that have persisted for months. fatigue, shortness of breath and chest pain were some of the most common complaints, and it's not just adults being affected by this. a new u.s. report show ted that children with long covid-19 have kidney, lung, heart, and pancreatic issues. cnn spoke with a cardiologist and professor of molecular research at scripps research center and explains just how debilitating long covid can be and the long-lasting effects it can have. >> importantly, it can be very debilitating. the symptoms which are not just
12:20 am
fatigue and chest pain and muscle weakness and brain fog, and there's a long list there's been near 30, 40 different symptoms clustered in these people with long covid. the problem of course is that there are serious matters, not just symptoms that can occur, like the cardiovascular, the neurological, the mental health. there's a lot of different parts of our organ systems that can be affected with long covid. long covid clinics are starting to become available in many parts of the country, including where i work. but that's not enough. because the number of people who are affected, who are not able to do their work, not able to return to a normal daily activities is substantial. it greatly overwhelms what we have to support them. no less, we have no proven treatment yet. we don't even have a biomarker that's been validated. so we're way behind in terms of the support as well as coming up
12:21 am
with ways to intervene. there's only one good way we know to prevent long covid is never to get covid. this is a worldwide problem. the good news, if there is any good news, is that the number of people who are affected by the omicron variant is somewhat less than previous variants, but none theless, we're talking about millions of people. and as we go forward, as we ultimately exit the pandemic, the toll of people with long covid will be the thing that really holds us back for years ahead. i don't think it's still adequately appreciated. we are keeping a close eye on the monkeypox virus as it continues to spread worldwide. u.s. centers for disease control says there are now more than 28,000 cases in 88 countries. here in the u.s., more than 7500 cases are reported, more than any other country in the recalled would. health authorities warn the majority of reported cases are in men who have sex with men,
12:22 am
but they caution that anyone can get monkeypox. cnn of spoke to an adult film entertainer who wants to use his experience with the virus to help curb its spread. >> hey, guys, day 15 of monkeypox. >> reporter: actor, adult film entertainer silver steele started to document his infection from isolation in texas. it's a trend. social media is key to raising awareness at ground zero of this crisis, the gay community. 98% of cases so far are among men who have sex with men, according to the world health organization. but sex is not required to transmit the virus. it's passed on primarily through close, skin-on-skin physical
12:23 am
contact. do you feel there is a sdigma? >> 100%. first of all, it's easy to label it as a gay disease, but this virus doesn't go oh, i'm going to find a gay person. it's just going to find a human. >> reporter: from a sexual health clinic, dr. ian reed says he witnessed the early days of the outbreak. >> all of wrus us were in the do be honest with you. not a virus many of us were familiar with at all. >> reporter: clinics like this one had to react quickly to the outbreak. training their staff, preparing tests, giving out dozens of vaccinations a day. it's put a strain on health services, and there's no sign the demand is letting up. word of mouth and public messaging are driving more and more to come forward for their shots. >> people are, i think, taking this seriously and making sure that they're protecting
12:24 am
themselves and presenting each other and the rest of the community. >> reporter: but monkeypox cases are still on the rise, and with limited vaccine supply, containment still presents a challenge. >> seeing that some friends of mine had it, and they had it quite bad, so i thought that. >> reporter: and health care workers are scrambling. >> one of the concerns i have is that the people who were getting the vaccine are kind of the better connected. so that can be people who, you know, historically are less hampered. >> reporter: grassroots voices are making an impact. so far more than a million people around the world have viewed steele's video. how does that make you feel to know that your message is being heard? >> fulfilled. fulfilled. that what i'm going through, other people are going through isn't for nothing.
12:25 am
because i'm telling you, you don't want this. it's painful. >> reporter: a community rallying to prevent a new disease from taking hold. cnn, london. well, unicef warns that thousands of children in haiti's capital are at risk for malnutrition. 20% of children under the age of 5 in just one neighbored into port-au-prince are suffering from acute malnutrition. unicef blames a surge in gang violence which has forced many basic services to shut down. it's left hundreds dead. 3,000 people have been forced from their homes, including hundreds of unaccompanied minors. to south america where colombia is preparing for new leadership. later today, petro will be sworn in as the nation's first-ever leftist president.
12:26 am
a symbolic inauguration was held in bogota. he led in june on an ambitious agenda to tackle social and economic inequality and vowed to exp explore oil exportation. >> a government that will bring colombia what it has never had during centuries, which is the tranquility of peace. here starts a government that will fight for environmental justice, to be in balance with nature. if you're joining us from north america i'll have more of cnn. for the rest of the world, "inside africa" is next. zyrteeeec...

12:30 am
welcome back to our viewers in the united states and canada, i'm lynda kincaid, and you're watching "cnn newsroom." good to have you with us. a marathon voting session is under way in the u.s. senate right now. they're hoping to pass a bill that accomplishes some of the key objectives. but first they have to scale one more hurdle called a vote a
12:31 am
rama. >> all 50 senate democrats have agreed to the core of this bill. i am confident it will be make being its way to the house and the president's desk by next week. >> cnn's jessica dean has a closer look at what's included in the bill and where things go from here. >> reporter: is that the democrats are pushing through and midway through this complex budget process that will allow them to pass legislation focussed on climate, health care and some tax provisions with just the senate democrats voting. they will not need senate republicans. but because they're using this complex budget process, it means it is taking hours and hours of process to get to the end. we do expect it to pass after senator manchin and the majority leader majority leader chuck schumer coming to agreement and late last week getting senator kyrsten sinema on board.
12:32 am
we do suspect all 50 democrats are very much on board with this, but they have to get through the process of vote-a-rama. which is hours and hours, and it's nobody guess how long that will take. when it comes to the climate provision, it's some $369 billion, the largest investment from the senate ever into climate that we've ever seen. they're hoping these provisions will lower carbon emissions by 40% by the year 2030. when it comes to health care they're talking about extending the affordable care act subsidies for three years, and for the first time, medicare will be able to negotiate prices on certain drugs. and with the provision, there's also a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks. a lot of this they didn't think they would get through because earlier this summer, senator joe manchin, the conservative democrat from west virginia did not support the tax provisions,
12:33 am
the climate provision, but they were able to come to this agreement. once it passes out of the senate it will go to the house. we are expecting the house to come back into session. they're currently on recess. on august 12, pass this and then it goes to president biden for his signature. indiana is now the first u.s. state to pass restrictive abortion laws in the wake of the supreme court's decision, overturning roe versus wade. the reproductive rights are a major issue for voters. nearly two-thirds of americans disapproved the court's rule. we have more on indiana's new law and the reaction to it. >> reporter: over the chants of protester, lawmakers in indiana pas passed a bill late friday night that would ban most abortion. the most restrictive bill since
12:34 am
roe versus wade was overturned this summer. it drew outrage from democrats, and some republicans who feel it went to for. >> if you're pro choice you can't be happy. >> i held my pro-choice views until the first ultra sound that i had of my very planned first daughter. and in that instance when i saw a heartbeat i couldn't believe that i ever felt like it would be okay to kill that child. i switched in that instance. >> reporter: the bill was signed into law by the governor minutes after the vote. the law, which goes into effect on september 15th provides exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk and fetal anomalies. it also allows exceptions for some abortions if the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. it comes after a vote in kansas
12:35 am
overwhelmingly opposed a bill. and some say the near total ban in indiana should be a message. caitlyn bernard, the indiana obgyn who provided abortion services for a 10-year-old rape victim who crossed state lines says with exceptions, she fears doctors could be prosecuted for an emergency procedure to pregnant women. >> you know how to save their lives, and yet you're wondering who do i have to check with? who's going to second guess me? do i call my lawyer? do i call the county prosecutor? is this going to go to the state attorney general, which we know can be incredibly dangerous for
12:36 am
physicians which i've experienced. >> reporter: and the business community is already weighing in. eli lilly says they're going to start looking for talent elsewhere. this as the company says that they're going to expand health care coverage for employees that might seek reproductive services out of state. >> indiana isn't the only u.s. state seeking to restrict abortions. the supreme court ruling has led to bans in several states. arizona's republican attorney general is asking a state court to lift a 1973 court injunk aga junction. in florida, a law remains in effect amid a legal fight to overturn it. a similar challenge is under way here in georgia where abortion is banned after six weeks.
12:37 am
keeping track of these cases and the efforts in other states. you can find information at cnn.com/politics. more students are heading back to school next week. and in many places their classrooms could be much more crowded than last year. the u.s. is dealing with a shortage of teachers. in some school districts, they are struggling to fill positions. teachers are under immense strain, trying to make ends meet. >> reporter: anecdotally, teachers will tell you that they are tired, stressesed out, frustrated and underpaid. they say their job is difficult and they just don't make enough money. now every school district is different in terms of pay, the job itself and whether or not they're seeing shortages. some school districts say they believe they will hire the teachers they need before the school year begins, while others say they really are struggling. they cannot hire people as the school year begins.
12:38 am
there is no national database, no way of knowing exactly where these shortages are, but we are hearing from school district whose are having to come up with solution, some who say we're going to have to do a four-day school week, other whose say we may need more children this one classroom, others saying we needless children in the classroom in order to get teachers to come and want to teach. there are others who are offering more money. say, 20%, more in order to get that job, to get teachers to apply. they're reaching out to different universities. they're trying to reach out to diverse teachers, and yet many of them are still struggling. the other problem is keeping the teachers, retaining them. that's also something that school districts are struggling with. i talked to a teacher who is currently on a leave of absence and says it's going to be very difficult to return to the classroom. here's what she told me. >> for most teacher, they carry student debt from the education
12:39 am
we had to get in order to become teachers. and then we walk into a school district and we're not paid enough to live and take care of that student debt. and we live in cities that are oppressively expensive. so when you are worried about your own survival, it impacts your ability to be a whole person. >> reporter: and nicole pfefferman also telling me that she's worried about the future. she doesn't see enough students wanting to become teachers. and she says she talks to a lot of other teachers who are also feeling frustrated and tired, and she says something needs to change in order to get more teachers into these classrooms. camilla bernal, cnn, los angeles. tens of millions across the united states are under heat alerts. we'll go to the cnn weather center for the latest and what to expect in the coming weeks. stay with us, you're watching

12:43 am
more than 60 million people are under heat alerts across the united states. the above-average temperatures are expected from the pacific northwest to the plains to the northeast. with several cities reaching the 90s or triple digits. on saturday, boston tied a high temperature record, set in 1931, 97 degrees fahrenheit. joi jo joining me now is cnn meteorologist derek van dam. thankfully, it wasn't that hot here today. but the heat continues. >> you know, we're starting to sound like a broken record here. the thing about this broken
12:44 am
record is that it lhas real-lif consequences. and that being this heat is impacting vulnerable people from the elderly to the very young, and it just continues. and we have into relief overnight, when our temperatures don't drop below that 75-80 degree threshold. unfortunately, heat illness can set in very quickly. so heat advisories across the country. over 60 million americans, current number is 68 million to be precise. here's a look at your temperatures. they are on their way up again for the nation's capital, new york and boston. we got a break from the humidity yesterday. that started to creep up as well. that's why we have some of these heat alerts. central portions of the country, missouri to kansas, triple digits very easily, and the heat will continue through the better part of the workweek as well. now check this out across pacific northwest.
12:45 am
the interior of oregon and washington have the potential to see triple digit heat indeces. so excessive heat warnings are in place. the other big story we're covering is the potential for flooding again over the hardest-hit areas of eastern kentucky. fortunately the heaviest of rain lately has been just to the west of eastern kentucky. sparing that airea the heaviest of precipitation. but the concern is there because of the pop-up thunderstorms that have been forming consistently the past few days could dump another one to two inch. saturated ground leading to more flooding. also keeping an eye on the potential for flash flooding across the upper midwest. look out milwaukee, wisconsin. the weather prediction center has a warning for flash flooding
12:46 am
for you as thunderstorms move across today and tomorrow. an expansive area of discussion here. and one thing to give you a heads up on. we are starting to see some signs that the atlantic basin, the tropical basin is starting to become more active, a 40% chance of tropical development this week. maybe we'll see our fourth-named storm of the year coming up later this week. >> derek, good to see you as always. we'll shout to you next hour. thanks very much. the effects of climate change are all around the u.s. and scientists report yet another way it's impacting our oceans and their animal species. sea turtles off florida's coast are disproportionately being born female. >> reporter: sea turtles are a species with temperature-dependent sex determination. that means the sex of individual turtle hatchlings is determined while still in embryotic
12:47 am
development. the higher the temperature the more likely it will be female. the warmer temperatures in florida are having an alarming impact. >> the last four summers in florida have been the hottest on record. they have found no boy sea turtles. only girl sea turtles for the past four years. >> reporter: scientists aren't sure why turtles ha have evolve this way. many believe the imbalance to endanger the species. >> over the years you're going to see a sharp decline in their population because we don't have the male-to-female ratio needed in order to have successful breeding sessions and be able to have eggs that hatch out long term. >> reporter: the uneven sex ratio is not only an eshoo you in the florida keys but also in
12:48 am
australia's great northern barrier reef. >> 30 years ago, turtles hatching out were 6 ha-to-1. with these females being warmer, the water is warmer. overall, the beach itself is a bit hotter than it used to be. we're hatching out significantly more females which long term is not fantastic for the numbers of our sea turtle species. >> reporter: conservationists around the world are trying to protect turtles. over the last few hundred years they've been endangered by pollution, poaching for their meat, and boating accident. and now they're facing the danger of climate change. leyla santiago, cnn, miami. good news for the world's largest coral system. scientists say parts of australia's great barrier reef have reported the highest amount
12:49 am
of coral in 36 years, up an average of nearly one third in some places. it comes even though the reefs have enjoyed mass bleechg events caused by abnormally warm water. >> there is still a strong resilient system that's able to bounce back from disturbances. but, you know, you have that with the fourth largest mass bleaching event. >> scientists warn that climate change could increase the frequency of coral bleaching. still to come, glasses for the deaf that capture conversations in real time. more on that when we return. gallons of water every time. let's end this habit. skip the rinse...
