a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm max foster in london. just ahead -- >> former president trump is now confirming that the fbi executed a search warrant on mar-a-lago. >> how big of a deal this would have been within the department of justice and the fbi. >> they were not messing around. they were going after the records they wanted particularly the classified records. >> they are treating it like it

is a pr problem, but it is a legal problem. >> it is more political persecution of donald j. trump. they can't stand that americans love him. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. >> it is tuesday, august 9. 4:00 a.m. in palm beach florida where the fbi has executed a search warrant at donald trump's residence inside his mar-a-lago resort. multiple sources say it is part of an investigation into trump's handling of presidential documents including classified material. a person close to the matter tells cnn agents took boxes of items from the property. the former president was in this morning at the time, again sources tell cnn investigators have visited mar-a-lago in recent months to talk with tru trump's attorney about material

taken from the white house. with trump in new york the secret service presence in mar-a-lago was small but a source says the fbi did provide a head's up before the search. cnn is learning the fbi interviewed aides to the former president about possibly mishandling documents back in april and may. sara murray has more. >> reporter: an extraordinary day in politics as former president trump confirmed that the fbi searched his mar-a-lago home. he was not there at the time, but the fbi did come, they were there for several hours sources are telling us, and this is related to the presidential records act, related to the documents that the former president took when he left the white house some of which may have been classified. earlier this year the national archives said they had recovered 15 boxes of documents, but a source familiar with this says that they were searching to see where the documents had been kept and if any had been left behind. the former president said the fbi even searched a safe of his.

it seemed to take trump and his allies off guard because lawyers on behalf of the former president had been engaging with investigators on this issue. christina bobb said trump and his legal team had been cooperative with the fbi and doj. in a statement the former president said these are dark times for our nation as my beautiful home mar-a-lago this palm beach florida currently under siege. nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the united states before. and we've already seen republicans rallying to the president's side declaring this some kind of political attack. sara murray, cnn, washington. >> they ever befohave never bef husband u.s. has the fbi executed a search of a former president. the deputy director explains what it would take to make that happen. >> this is not a couple agents showing you at some judge's door in the middle of the night to get an emergency warrant. this is something that would have been planned out and

re-evaluated and legally examined from every possible angle by the entirety of the leadership structure of both organizations. so let's remember that to get a search warrant in any case, whether it is you or i or the former president, you have to go before a federal judge and convince that judge that there is probable cause to believe both that federal crime has been committed and that evidence of that crime is contained within the space you have described in your warrant request. so we have in this situation a federal judge made that determination giving the agents authority to enter that premises and search every part of the premises that might contain the items specifically described in the warrant. >> donald trump calls the search politically motivated raid and says the democrats are trying on to stop him from running for office again. his son eric says trump had been

cooperating with the federal investigation and that the search was unnecessary. >> to have 30 fbi agents, actually more than that, descend on mar-a-lago, give absolutely, you know, no notice, go through the gates, start ransacking an office, ransacking a closet, you know, they broke into a safe, he did not even have anything in the safe. give me a break. the purpose of the raid from what they said is because the national archives wanted to cooperate whether or not donald trump had any documents in his possession. and my father has worked so collaboratively with them for mo months. the lawyer working on this was totally shocked. he said i have an amazing relationship with these people and all of a sudden they send 20 cars and 30 agents. >> supporters of the former president gathered to protest near the hamar-a-lago resort. a former white house insider explained why they have such a different perspective. >> what i am seeing is kind of a

standard party line from the folks still close to the former president which is this is a witch hunt, this is biden and democrats coming after him, democratic department of justice, not the independent hand of the fbi. and there is a very quick narrative that has been spun and i would note fox news, you know, it is night and day what you are hearing on other news outlets and his preferred news outlet which is framing it only one way, that this is a witch hunt and an attack on the former president. so half the country is hearing a very different conversation than the one we're having here. >> his one time white house press secretary says no surprise considering how his administration handled classified material. >> the fact that they made their way to the safe, i don't know if it is the office safe, i don't know if it is their apartment safe, but the fact that he mentioned it, it really struck me and i think that he is nervous. i think that something big is there. i don't think that it will be

just letters. i think it could be about military operations. this is me speculating, i want to be clear, but i could see the former president thinking those were cool or fun and we were not a white house that followed the rules. and i will tell you that handling classified information was not something that was really pressed upon on us a daily basis or weekly or monthly. >> in the coming hours trump ally doug mastriano is set to appear virtually before the house select committee investigating the january 6 capitol 1234urinsurrection, but source says he may not end up answering questions because of a dispute over the terms of his testimony. another trump ally is also scheduled to testify in georgia. rudy giuliani is asking a judge to postpone his testimony before the grand jury over interference in the 2020 election. his lawyer says giuliani underwent surgery last month and a doctor recommends that he not fly.

indiana as well and deincluding st. louis and eastern kentucky. so any additional rainfall becomes problematic. level of risk sheahere is margi to slight, but with the amount of rainfall in the recent days, it won't take much to cause additional flooding. across the northeast, big time heat still. heat indices poe p potentially 105 in philly, 106 in new york, it could feel close to 103 boston around 100. but there is a front coming in and with it we expect temperatures to cool off finally into the evening hours once the system passes through. in fact look at the highs in boston, go from the 90s down into the 70s. new york drops off about 10 degrees over the next 24 hours. and of the same across philadelphia. across the southwest, monsoonal moisture has been present, some of it beginning to push farther and farther towards the north, areas nevada, oregon and washington state getting some of

needed rainfall. and seattle down into the lower 70s, portland drops off to around 80 degrees as well and national perspective looks as such here with the 90s across the interior portion of the northwest and areas of the northeast and in between generally going to be in the 80s with showers expected in the region. >> thank you, pedram. heavy rainfall in south korea's capital is being blamed for at least eight deaths thousand and authorities say at least seven people are still missing. the rain backed up storm drains with streets and subway stations overflowing in seoul. more than 700 shops and homes have reported flooding forcing many to flee. local gyms and schools are being used as temporary shelters. now, the murders of four muslim men in albuquerque sent shockwaves and fear across the city. ahead, the brother of one of the victims speaks to cnn about the tragedy. and later, the world loses an icon of stage and screen.

leaders in albuquerque say people are living in fear and some are even leaving the state after recent murders of four muslim men. the latest victim was fatally shot friday. police say all before ambushed. authorities haven't named a suspect but they believe the killings may be connected. the brother of one of the victims spoke to ed lavendera about the tragedies. >> reporter: it was just after 9:00 at night last monday when mohammed stepped out of his apartment to take a phone call. his brother says neighbors tell him that when he got to the end of the block, he was ambushed. >> this is the place here his body was found. >> reporter: he says neighbors tell him a gunman pulled up on his brother and fired multiple rounds. he says the neighbors also told

him hmohammed ran away and then the driver pulled up next to him and fired again. >> he was laying down with his face like this, and half of his head was gone. >> reporter: from that you take that whoever was behind this was motivated by extreme anger? >> extra, extra, extra extreme, extreme anger. so this is not a random killing. this is extremely motivated and extreme hatred that he want to make sure that he couldn't survive. >> reporter: the murders have septemb sent shock and panic among the community. each victim was alone and in al bush ambush style attacks. one was murdered back in november and the other three in the last two weeks. on friday, there were funerals

of two other victims. the mosque in albuquerque spoke with him briefly after the service and said he sounded concerned. >> said brother, what is going on, everything going to be okay. and i said yeah, don't worry about it. >> reporter: just a few hours later the 25-year-old was killed. shot while sitting in his car in this parking lot. muslim leaders are now urging members to use the bud did i system when moving around the city and avoid being out at night alone. as we finish would our interview, he checked his phone. >> right now i have probably three, four missed calls from my wife, where are you, it is getting dark. she's freaking out. so it is terrifying to be honest with you. >> reporter: and the terror he can't escape is the conversation with the police officer who told him his brother was dead. >> he said he's decease. you know, everything fell apart.

>> reporter: our world went dark, he says, and it is important at this point to point out that despite all of the fear and the theories and the speculation as to who might be behind these murders, so far investigators here in albuquerque have not offered any clues as to who might be behind this and what the motive might be in these four murders. but of course given the fear and the panic that has ensued in many parts of the muslim community here, there is a great deal of speculation and theories being discussed by many residents who live here. ed lavendera, cnn, albuquerque. father and son convicted in the killing of ahmaud arbery have been sentenced to life in prison for federal hate crimes. gregory and travis mcmichael were also sentenced monday to 20 years for attempted kidnapping plus additional time on weapons charges. meanwhile the third man

involved, william bryant jr., was sentenced to 35 years in prison, all three men are already serving life sentences for their convictions in state court related to the 2020 killing of arbery, a 25-year-old black man in southern georgia. arbery's family thank the their supporters for standing with them throughout the difficult process. united nations top official in the middle east is expressing concern over the recent violence in gaza even as a ceasefire between israel and the militant group islamic gee had appears to be holding. israel reopened the border crossing for critical fuel deliveries following the worst fighting in more than a year. on friday israel launched what it called preemptive strikes. and today in the west bank we're learning israel has launched a new operation against suspected palestinian militants. elliott gotkine is with us live in jerusalem. what is the latest state of this

tension? >> reporter: information we have so far from the israeli forces and also the palestinian ministry of health is that there was a firefight this morning in the west bank as israeli sources sought to detain a man. there was an exchange of fire and in the aftermath -- as a result of that fire, the man was killed. the palestinian ministry of health now saying that there were 40 people injured and three dead. also they also confirmed the death. and israel says that he was in their words a wanted terrorist, that he was responsible for a number of shooting attacks against israelis in the west bank. now, his affiliation is a little bit unclear right now, some are saying that he is affiliated with islamic jihad and the concern there is if indeed that is the case that this could have

repercussions for the ceasefire between israel and the militants of islamic jihad in the gaza strip. some almost 36 hours on, the ceasefire is holding. fuel supplies and other humanitarian goods are flowing back into the gaza strip, commercial goods. and palestinians in the gaza strip with work permits are once again allowed to come into israel to carry out their jobs. so things have concerned to the way they were before for what qualifies as normal. but the concern now is that the violences lens in the west bank may have repercussions for that cease fire. >> operations against jihad, where does hamas stand in all of this. >> reporter: the latest flare-up between israel and gaza strip, hamas sat this one out, that it wasn't involved, but although it lent its tacet support.

israel was clear that it wasn't targeting hamas, it wasn't seeking a broader fight with militants in the gaza strip, but that if it came to it, that it wouldn't shy away from one. for now hamas doesn't appear to be involved in either the violence in the west bank or what we saw over the last few days in the gaza strip, but of course we know that things can change here and at some point in time i don't think that anyone would be surprised if there is another flare-up not just between israel and the militants, but also a much bigger and more powerful militants of hamas. >> elliott, thank you. you're watching "cnn newsroom." still ahead, the latest on the search of mar-a-lago and why one political analyst says it could tear the country apart. plus the pentagon acknowledges sending anti-radar missiles to ukraine, why the weapons could make a big difference on the battlefield.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." if you are just joining us, let me bring you up-to-date with the latest stories. a flood watch is in place for kentucky, the state is already recovering from last week's deadly flooding. hundreds of people remain stranded without clean water, food and electricity as aid groups work to get relief to those in unreachable rural areas. the fbi has executed a search warrant at mar-a-lago, donald trump's florida residence. multiple sources tell cnn it is part of an investigation into trump's handling of presidential documents including classified material. trump is currently in new york and was not at the property

during the search. trump is blasting the search as politically motivated meant to keep him from running for the white house again. maggie has beener ma er mayber the search is provoking a strong response. >> there is a reason to assume again just based on the fapct that there is something significant there. it depends on what it is. is it something that his supporters would recognize as major, i don't know. i do know that his folks -- well, i shouldn't say his folks. some of his folks, certainly not all and certainly him have a long standing habit of conflating legal problems with pr problems. and at the moment they are treating this like it is a pr problem. but it is a legal problem. it may not be a consequential legal problem. we don't know what it looks like. i have no idea where this will result. we have seen investigations of people around trump fizzle and some result in equity pleas or

convictions. so i have no idea whether this is anything. obviously an indictment of a former president will not be done lightly. but whether it is something that his supporters see as quote/unquote sufficient, i think that is the question. i'm already hearing from people around trump, if this is quote/unquote nothing and defined nothing, it will rip the country apart. it may be headed in that direction regardless, but i think that the argument from the doj would be that we have to follow the law. >> maggie habeman have a book they veal two occasions when trump apparently tried to flush documents down the toilet, a photograph shows ripped up notes that appear to be written in trump's handwriting in black marker, one image from a white house toilet, the other from an overseas trip reportedly given to habeman by a trump white house source. cnn has previously reported that trump would often tear up

documents after reading them. the u.s. is sending more military assistance to ukraine. monday the pentagon announced a new $1 billion aid package, it comes as the u.s. is acknowledging for the first time that it provided ukraine with anti-radar missiles. oren liebermann has the details. >> reporter: for the first time the pentagon acknowledged sending a previously undisclosed missile to ukraine for use by the ukraine air force. under secretary of defense said that they used mice stills used to target russian radar and other targets fired from ukrainian aircraft. although he didn't specify the type of missile, a defense official told cnn it was an agm high speed anti-radiation missile. collin cowell said it was in previous presidential drawdown packages back to the beginning

of july, but there was no nournsno announcement of it, so they were sent over quietly to the ukrainian air force. a few things interesting. first, this would be one of the longer range systems the u.s. has sent to ukraine. according to the air force it has a range of more than 30 miles so up there with the himars missile. and it is specifically a radar that targets and hones in on a radar signal, so it could be used to target for example russian anti-aircraft radars and that is important because it is those types of radars the russian s 400s that have effectively shut down large swathes of ukrainian air space to the ukrainian air force. so if ukraine can target those, it might go a long way to opening up the skies for ukraine's air force to operate. what is also interesting here is that collin cowell said these were used on ukrainian aircraft. of course the mice stills being that they are u.s. missiles were designed for american aircraft so there must have been some process behind the scenes to

make sure that these could work on these soviet era fighters that ukraine is now using in its war against russia's invasion. collin cowell made these statements at a press briefing after announcing a $1 billion drawdown package from the u.s. for ukraine, that is weapons and systems pulled directly from u.s. inventories. it is the largest draw down package announced to date and that brings to a total of about $9.1 billion in security assistance the u.s. has sent to ukraine since the beginning of russia's invasion. or en liebermann, cnn, in the pentagon. ukrainian officials are raising the specter of a chernobyl style nuclear disaster after shelling and rocket fire came dangerously close to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant over the weekend. on monday ukraine warned that disaster at the plant could obliterate everything within 15 50 k -- 50ky 4r kilometers. ukraine and russia blame each

other for the attacks. in this surveillance video you can see russian military vehicles driving inside the complex which is under russian control. moscow says the troops are there for protection though. western and ukrainian officials have accused russia of using the plant as a nuclear shield. for more, let's bring in david mckenzie live in kyiv. it is very difficult to get exact details here, but certainly there is a huge threat here potentially. >> reporter: that's right, max. ukrainian side is blaming the russians, russians blaming the ukrainians. it is worth reminding people that the russians occupied that nuclear complex earlier this year in the early days of this conflict. they are holding the ukrainian scientists effectively hostage as they try to keep the nuclear power station running. a short time ago i spoke to the head of ukraine's nuclear energy agency, the company that runs that power station, and i put

the question to him whether he agrees with the assessment by the head of the atomic energy agency that there is a chance of a nuclear disaster. >> i would not say nuclear disaster. i would say radiation emergence. and great release of radioactivity would happen. >> and what is the consequences of that? >> there could be a cloud, radioactive cloud, and then all will depend on the weather actually and where it will go and how strong is the wind. >> what can be done to prevent that worse case scenario? >> the best thing, just to release the plant. and there were reports from the very beginning to international organizations such as united

nations, such as iaea, just to make it a mission of national troops who could actually be on the site and release the site from russia. >> reporter: now, he admits that that is a long shot, max. in the short term to get blue helmets in that zone to protect the nuclear site. but he says right now the way that the militaries are in that zone puts the massive site at the danger of a potential radiation leak, an accident, and all those failsafes that you need in place with civilian nuclear power like backup generators, multiple lines of energy coming into the site to keep those nuclear reactors cool, he says only one line of electricity is coming into that site to power the station, and then they have the backup diesel. he says if that fails, it really is a cascading series of events

that could lead to an extremely serious impact and possibly radiation leak. >> david mckenzie in kyiv, thank you. with thousands of cancellations and delays, it has been a frustrating season for airline travel, but there is good news for those choosing to travel by car in the u.s. the latest on gas prices coming up.

joe biden is pledging full federal support as kentucky begins to recover from devastating floods. the u.s. president surveyed the damage in lost creek on monday, the flooding killed more than three dozen people and caused catastrophic damage. the president said it may take some time to get through it, but he promised the federal government will be there as along as it takes and he managed to get in a plug for the massive climate bill approved by the

senate. >> only country in the world that has come out of every major disaster stronger than we went into it. we got clobbered got in, but we came out stronger. take is the objective. it is not just to get back to where we were, but to get back to better than where we were and we have the wherewithal do it now with the legislation we bipartisanly passed. so i don't want any kentuckian telling me you don't have to do this for me. oh, yeah, we do, you are an american citizen, we never bow or bend, we just go forward. >> president biden's comments come as another flood watch has been reissued for kentucky, thousands of people have already been displaced and many are still stranded without basic necessities. a member of the national response team has been joining us. i know you've been under a huge amount of pressure, but just tell us about some of the smaller communities that you haven't been able to reach, the

type of people that are really struggling right now. >> thank you so much for having me on, max. we have teams down in neon, kentucky, it is a small suburb, fleming neon middle school is loaded with supplies. we can get the supplies out to the communities, but we really need more manpower and equipment such as forklifts, atvs, side by sides, the infrastructure has been so damaged it is difficult to have anyone come to our pod can which is a point of distribution. also in knot county, their sports plex has tons of

supplies, but there are so many areas that kentuckyians consider hollers which i'm sure most people don't know what that is. i personally didn't know what a holler was. but they are these little individual communities that are back up out in the woods that have been cut off from everything. so we really need -- i don't know who can show up with the equipment that is needed, like i said, forklifts, atvs, side by sides. we have sarah lucas who drove in from pittsburgh, pennsylvania today. she showed up at neon. people saw that she was coming. she showed up and was able to

deliver something as little as a toy to a little boy this gist m just made his world dealing with what he's dealing with. but all of the smaller organizations need more assistance. >> and when you talk about the hollers, these are self-sufficient communities, aren't they, and there is often only one road or track leading into them and that is the ones that you are particularly concerned about because you can't get hold of them until you actually get there. >> that's correct. they may have one road just like in these on, the road leading to the hospital, it was only one road. and it was pretty much washed away. but thankfully the road has been fixed enough so that the medical staff has been able to get to

that hospital. but just imagine all these little small areas. this is the problem that we're dealing with that isn't being addressed on a big scale. >> and this is what the authorities i know you want to get more involved in, hopefully they will hear your message. we'll allow you to get back to your work. thank you so much for sparing time to speak to us. >> thank you so much, max. all of you have a blessed evening. >> and to you. now voters in kenya are deciding on their country's future right now, polls are open in the general election for a new president and members of the national assembly. there is much more at stake behind the high profile races and some of the roughly 22 million registered voters tell cnn they are dissatisfied with their options. larry madowo is joining me from a polling station in kenya. take us through the scene there.

>> reporter: this is one of the 46,000 polling stations nationwide where kenyans get to vote. hundreds of people vote here. polls have been open from 6:00 a.m. local until 5:00 p.m. and then they will begin to count the votes manually one by one. all the party agents have to agree on them. this is a huge undertaking, one of the most expensive elections in the world. there is a huge amount of distrust of the process. kenyans have some contested elections in the past and to try to make sure there is a bit more track of the process, other stakeholders have made it more expensive with use of technology to get to that level, still not quite there yet. but why notally expected to be a free and fair process. i want to hear from one voter jeffrey here with me. what are you voting for? >> i want change. i want the government to improve the economy, to improve security. the government has failed. so i want change. >> as a young kenyan, what is

the most important issue for you in this election? >> economy. which i. i want the government to improve the economy. that is my main issue. >> thank you, jeffrey. >> reporter: and that is a word that we've heard a lot in this process. change. even though the two men running are technically part of the establishment. and the sitting deputy president has been cast out from the government since the opposition leader started working with the government. he's promised a bottom up approach to uplift every citizen and that has been appealing to many young people. he is calling himself a hustler, someone who came from nothing to someone and the became he's framed the election, it is an election between hustlers and dynasties. opposition leader is son of the former prime minister and he comes from money and he is the other candidate likely to win the poll. we expect the results known

monday next week, that is how long they have to their the results even though the two men are the center of attention here around the world, actually 16,000 candidates running in positions for national assembly, for the senate, for governor, for local seats. but that is the top one that gets all the attention because in a system like kenya's, the next president has a lot of say in how the country is governed and political stability and economic stability here is important. east africa and all of africa region known for a lot of turmoil and upheaval. >> yeah, vital to have stability there. larry, thank you very much for joining us from kenya. airlines continue to struggle with personnel shortages, more than 1200 flights have already been canceled for today according to flight aware. more than 26,000 were either canceled or delayed on monday. if you can't make your flight through no fault of your own, the u.s. government wants to make it easier for you to get a refund. department of transportation is looking into expediating rye

fu funds and doing away with expiration of vouchers. and gas prices are dropping now for hormore than 50 consecue days. aaa says current national average is $4.03 a gallon and experts believe prices could dip below the $4 mark this week. here is more from matt egan. >> reporter: this is a big deal i think psychologically but himself practically as people are dealing with high prices at the super market and pretty much everywhere. not all the reasons are good. recession fears have driven down oil prices, that will drive gas down. also turns out $5 gas, that was a breaking point, people started driving less. >> meanwhile inflation is also causing shoppers to pass on pricey cuts of beef in favor of cheaper chicken. tyson foods says there is a surge of demand of poultry as
