celebrations are under full swing. we'll look at their 75 years of independence. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. we begin with more fallout from the fbi search of donald trump's florida estate. sources tell us one of former president trump's lawyers signed a letter back in june saying there was no more classified information stored at mar-a-lago. we learned earlier this week federal agents uncovered 11 sets of documents including 2 with top secret. they want damage assessments of the seized documents. the chair's writing that, quote,

former president trump's conduct has potentially put our national security at great risk. all of this comes as the fbi is facing backlash over the search like this group that gathered outside an arizona field office. the protests ended peacefully but the bureau is still urging employees to be vigilant saying it's received an unprecedented wave of threats. cnn's caitlyn polance is in washington on the justice department investigation. two months before the fbi search a lawyer testified there were no classified records to be found on the property cnn learned on saturday. but despite this claim, when investigators seized the boxes this past monday in this criminal investigation, they found in 11 different places records still marked as classified. that included records at three levels of classification, even

ones with ts sci. >> that would be kept only in secure facilities. these new details fresh out the time line that was leading up to the fbi search of mar-a-lago, we learned of a meeting trump's attorneys had in june and a subpoena for the return of the records for the search. this letter from trump's lawyer adds to our understanding of why federal prosecutors would have seen no other way to resecure the records to go to the beach club grounds on monday. they weren't going to be given back by the president, that much is clear. donald trump and some of his advisers claimed he declassified all of the records he had but when you look at what's being voegted, obstruction of justice, the espy owe naming act, the classification of these records might be immaterial. what matters as justice department -- as the justice

department investigators continue their work is how potentially harmful it was to have these documents out of the control of the federal government for the last year and a half. all of what happened in june with this letter from the lawyers, subpoenas, it's all likely to become important facts if criminal charges were to materialize here and as investigators try to narrow down who exactly had their hands on these documents. joining me now is michael genevese. he's the president of the global institute and author of the modern presidency. i want to start exactly there with your expertise on the presidency, someone who studied presidents and so on. what we're seeing now with the general nature, we don't know exactly what it was, but the general nature of what donald trump removed from the white

house. how extraordinary and unprecedented was this? >> you know, before and after the presidential records act of 1978, the post watergate reform, presidents and members of their family have been accused of taking things they weren't supposed to take out of the white house when they left office. the normal process, where is this? we need that, we take a look at that. there's a process of negotiation, back and forth discussion and they reach an accommodation. that has always been the case until now. this is different in kind and in nature. the archives have tried and tried to get them subpoenaed and they can't get the materials back donald trump took with him. the question is, what did he take them for? what is he going to use them for? this is highly unusual? >> the nature of the stuff, top secret stuff. there's no reason why he would

need to take this kind of stuff home. >> that's right. what is he going to do with it? there's all kinds of fears that he could give it away or sell it. i'm not concerned about those things. i don't think that's what he's going to do. i think it's carelessness, his cavalier attitude thing about things and let me be absolutely clear on one thing. this is not an accident. every member of a new administration that comes in has to sit down and they get a briefing on presidential papers, what you have to keep, how you have to store them, how you have to deal with them and how they don't belong to you, they belong to us, to the government and to the people. so donald trump can't say, well, i didn't know or i'm the president, i can do this. absolutely he cannot but donald trump's attitude is just cavalier and he just acts like and thinks the rules don't apply to him. >> the attitude of the republican politicians and

leaders. did you expect them to fall so quickly in lock step behind donald trump? it makes you wonder sort of what evidence might be uncovered of wrongdoing that it would take to have them turn? >> well, you know, usually the past is prelude and if the past were prelude to this you would see republicans saying, this is not right. you've got to give this back. it was a mistake, just admit it and give it back. it is amazing, but it's been true for the last several years, republicans have fallen behind trump. they fall on their swords for him. there is a pattern where donald trump will do something, there will be an outrage and the republicans will hesitate and all of a sudden they realize if we cross this guy, he's going to maybe have someone run in the primary against us, he might go after us. so i have to say in a very cowardly fashion, they instead of doing the right thing, they follow donald trump's lead.

>> and then president biden, meanwhile, you know, passes a massive climate and health care bill, a political coup in an election year which would have a huge impact on millions of americans, the very planet itself, yet it's relegated to the back pages. when he's losing he's winning by sucking all the political oxygen out of here. >> donald trump is the center of attention and he demands to be such. teddy roosevelt's daughter said of her father. poor dad has to be the corpse at every funeral. he donald trump is really terrific on the self dramatization. biden has a more tepid

personality. the camera is pulled magnetically to donald trump. even out of office he is pulled to dominate the air wives. >> probably even more. thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you, kim. the author started to speak on saturday, a day after he was stabbed during a new york book event. rushdie was stabbed and his suspect was in court. rushdie was stabbed three times in the stock make and he has puncture wounds in his eye and head. the suspect was carrying cash, prepaid i.d. cards and a fake

i.d. >> reporter: the man accused of attacking salman rushdie was in court as video shocks people around the world. he stabbed him repeatedly before he was air lifted to erie, pennsylvania. what was the possible motive? it was commonly known rushdie lived under constant threat of death after his publication of his latest book. they called for his assassination. over the weekend we saw hard lined conservative iranian newspapers print headlines celebrating the attack, however,

westerners strongly calling it reprehensible and appalling. they're calling this an attack on freedom of speech and freedom of expression. we know the man that's been identified as a suspect in the case, he was in a courtroom on saturday to that attempted second degree murder and assault as well. erie, pennsylvania. in jerusalem a gunman who authorities say carried out a suspected terror attack has turned himself into police. eight people were wounded in the attack including several american citizens. cnn's hadas gold joins us. what more can you tell us about the victims and the americans? >> reporter: 1:30 a.m. local last night is when this attack

took place right outside the old city walls near one of the main entrances towards the western wall and towards king david's tomb. we know this took place in two places by a bus station and parking lot. from what we understand, this is -- at least eight people were injured, at least two of them seriously, including a pregnant woman who had to deliver herr baby early via an emergency c-section. all are alive although some are critically wounded. this area where this attack took place is a major site for pilgrims, religious pilgrims to make their way into the old city, the holiest sites of the old city, but for tourists as well. we understand from the u.s. embassy in jerusalem that there were several americans wounded, among those eight wounded. the israeli media is citing four americans were wounded. the u.s. embassy says they are not going to give any further

details while they gather information. they are in touch with the families. they are shocked and saddened and condemn all acts of terrorism and acts that exacerbate tension. the shooter fled on foot that set off a massive manhunt in jerusalem that involved hundreds of police as well as police helicopters. in the last few hours he turned himself in to police and police say they have the weapon that he used. israeli media is saying he is palestinian. a security source says the suspect is from east jerusalem and he holds israeli citizenship. this comes a week after the serious escalation in gaza between israel and the palestinian jihad. more than 1,000 rockets were fired. there's a cease-fire that appears to be holding. as far as we know, this suspect has no known affiliation with militants.

it's keeping this entire city on edge. kim? >> appreciate the update on this story. thank you so much. support is being lined up for a plan to denuclearize zap z zaporizhzhia. we'll have a live report from kyiv. trying to refute a deadly attack on ukrainian p.o.w.s. why this satellite picture could help their case. stay with us. only from ihop. download the app and join the rewards program today.

the question to demill tar rise the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is coming under question. this came from the u.n. secretary general and the u.s. the european union is getting behind the area. the foreign policy tweeted the plant must not be used as part of any military operation. kyiv and moscow are trading blame for the attacks. ukrainian president atzelenskyy said this plan will back fire.

>> translator: they will necessarily block the russian nuclear industry and absolutely all officials of the terrorist state as well as those who help them with this black mail operation with the nuclear power plant must answer in an international court and every russian military officer who shoots at plant or shoots under the plant must understand they become part of our intelligence, our special services or our army. there's more evidence that russia is stepping up the offensive in eastern ukraine. fierce fighting is underway for the city of piesky. in the south the defense

military is calling on the possible prosecution of people there. russia is reportedly prepared to hold the proceedings in the city's philharmonic hall. western experts say it's extremely unlikely that ukrainian prisoners of war were killed by a u.s. made rocket. ukraine has flatly denied they attacked the prison camp. if the powerful weapon had used there would be a massive crater and nothing left of the building. photos show relatively little damage. cnn's david mckenzie has our report. we want to caution you some of the images are extremely graphic. ♪ >> reporter: svetlana hasn't heard from her son in more than two months. >> translator: they were promised they would be taken prisoner in order to save their

lives. >> reporter: her son like sons and husbands of many of these people of kyiv is a prisoner of war held at a russian prison camp. it's a cry for help, but for many of the pows, one that came too late. at least 50 of them were killed in an attack on the building where they were held. russia was swift to blame ukraine saying it had killed its own to prevent them from confessing war crimes. >> translator: a deliberate missile attack on july 29th on a pre-trial detention center in the area of the settlement. >> russian journalists displaying remnants of the russian high rocket with serial

number but it's extremely unlikely that a himar struck the prison. >> we would see a crater in the ground and we would see more blast damage. >> reporter: chris cobb smith has seen his fair share of missile strikes. he said this wasn't one of them. >> we would see fragmentation, pot marking from the explosion, from the fragmentation of the munition as it went up. all we're really seeing is evidence of a fire, an intensive fire. so to me this does not indicate a large detonation. >> the available video and images show bod lis badly burnt, some still in their bunks. forensic pathologists say a fire proceeded by a small explosion.

>> there was a fire and then a detonation resulting in a fire. >> reporter: ukraine is using the 200 pound himar rockets to hit russian depots and other targets, but the visuals of the aftermath that have emerged are usually different from the scene at the prison. before and after satellite imagery from a confirmed himar strike shows a russian warehouse destroyed by the blast. at alinifka there are burn marks in the wall but crucially no marks. >> the bodies are severely charred. the himar's pieces we've seen as evidence do not display any blackening at all. it doesn't look like they've been in the scene of an intensive fire. >> reporter: they say it's unlikely that the incident was

accidental. it's believed to house more than 1,000 prisoners. here you see the satellite images from the day before the incident showing pows circulating in different areas of the camp but ukrainian officials say around 200 prisoners were moved to this warehouse in a different zone just before they were killed. ukrainian officials also say the incident happened on the eve of a prisoner exchange. kyiv has rejected moscow's version and has accused them of using a powerful incendiary weapon. cnn can almost positively rule out russia's version. russia has invited the red cross and other experts to visit but they say they have yet been given access to the prison.

the families of prisoners are increasingly desperate. >> translator: i'm asking all people who can, who care to help bring back our sons, our heroes. >> reporter: but they don't even know who was killed that night nor what killed them. david mckenzie, cnn, kyiv. >> now cnn reached out to the russian defense ministry around the findings of the investigation but we have yet to hear back. coming up, california has a stunning drain on the water supply. the governor's multi-billion dollar plan to fix it. plus record temperatures, drought and they're facing a fourth heat wave. stay with us.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. this summer's unprecedented heat has affected millions all across the u.s., particularly in california where experts say the state could lose 10% of its water in the next two decades. governor gavin newsom has a plan to strengthen the state's water reserve, most notably through projects to restore and recycle water. let's talk about this with meteorologist karen mcginnis. the drought is getting worse and worse. >> that is the big problem. it is a crisis and every year it seems to really intensify.

interior valleys of california typically hot this time of year and typically dry. it is excessively dry and excessively hot. from mow dedesto down to bakersfield. this is tuesday into thursday. take a look at these temperatures. sacramento, 108 degrees. a normal high might be around 92, 95 degrees. that lets you know just how hot it is. 10 to 15 degrees above where it should be this time of year. all you have to do is sneak over towards portions of arizona and into the interior west and across the central rockies and we've got a little bit more in the way of rainfall. this is the time of year we see that monsoonal flow. it has been very prevalent or very indicative of what's been happening across this region. high pressure has built across

the central plains and now we get that moisture riding on the western edge of the ridge of high pressure. that moisture is riding all the way around it. so much so, it's pushing some of that moisture into the lower ohio river valley all the way over towards the mid-atlantic region. we'll expect showers and thunderstorms during this sunday as well as into monday. look for some of those storms to produce some decent heavy downpours. in sharp contrast, that is trying to even out. in this case, we're really seeing it across new england. the temperatures have been in the 90s. in boston, i always like to look at boston because boston is kind of indicative of what happens across the northeast and new england and this is going to be a vef great day. in the 80s. by tuesday in the 70s. western massachusetts may see overnight lows in the 40s. we've got heat, monsoon storm

and cooler than normal temperatures into the northeast. so a little bit of everything as we look across the united states. as i just mentioned, the atmosphere is always trying to even out. there is a big struggle for dominance here, but we can definitely say across the west more than 70% of nine states of the west are under some sort of drought to extreme drought. there's a little disturbance in the northwestern gulf of mexico. this does not appear that it's going to develop into anything as an organized tropical system, but it's going to be enough that areas from about corpus christi down to brownsville could see very significant rainfall as we go into monday, maybe on the order of 5, possibly 10 inches of rain. >> thank you so much. karen mcginnis, appreciate it. europe is going through the

fourth heat wave. the starting point of london's iconic thames has dried up and the rhine is having problems. meanwhile, firefighters across europe are joining forces to battle multiple wildfires in france. we're joined from madrid by al goodman. what's the efforts to contain the fires in madrid? >> hi, kim. the focus is on the big fire in france around bordeaux. it's been burning for days. officials say it's not advancing. it's showing some signs of stabilization. they are on high alert, dry thunderstorms which could bring lightning to reignite the fires. the 1,000 firefighters have been joined by 360 additional

firefighters from germany, austria, romania and poland. there's another big fire in brittney and trying to prevent fires, they have banned the use of fireworks until september. the amount of land burned in france this summer is 20 times more than last summer. in portugal, you mentioned that big fire. that's the european union country with the most land burned as a percentage of its total territory among all of the eu nations. in spain fires have been burning every day for the past month. the national government's military emergency unit which has the big water bombers has deployed on late saturday night, two of them to fight new fires, one in the north and one in the east. it's basically been back-to-back months of low rainfall. kim? >> that's exactly it. fires and droughts inextricably

linked. the droughts hitting western europe hard this summer. zwr >> one of the focal points there are the farmers in italy, it hasn't been back-to-back droughts for them, since last december. they're in danger of losing up to 80% of their crops. that's things like soya, the things to make parmesan cheese. that's all along the pearl river in northern italy. if we move into the rhine river in germany, low levels. shipping on barges can continue with things like chemicals, coals, grain, they have to lighten the load and that raises the cost and the less things are getting through to the market. there are drought conditions in various parts of england with many municipalities saying that people cannot use their hoses to water their gardens or wash their cars. all of this, just a summer of

extreme heat and drought-like conditions across western europe. kim? >> so much happening there across the continent. thank you so much. tons and tons of dead fish are turning up in a river which runs through pole lapped and germany. they're trying to figure out why. an analysis of river water showed an unknown highly toxic levels. high levels of mercury have been found. officials in both countries warn people not to swim in the water or eat fish from it. tropical storm has been lashing parts of japan bringing heavy rain and powerful winds after making landfall in central japan. more than 40,000 residents are under evacuation orders. officials are urging people to be on alert for possible landslides, flooding and high waves. new video seems to explain a large boom heard in utah and

♪ ♪ pakistani national anthem being played there to mark the country's independence from british rule 75 years ago. pakistan along with neighboring india were both founded in 1947 when brittain abruptly ended its colonial rule and divided into two sovereign nations. the partition, as it was called, led to one of the largest and deadliest mass migrations in times. up to 2 million people may have lost their times during that turbulent times. cnn's joined from islamabad. looking ahead, what are pakistan's biggest challenges going forward? >> reporter: kim, well, if you want to look ahead with regards to pakistan, you obviously have to look back as well. and it's been a very tumultuous

75 years of pakistani history tempered with military dictatorships and political unrest. pakistan obviously has a legacy of partition. there are many scars because the partition was deeply personal. 2 million people died and millions more were displaced. these people have obviously carried those memories forward and those have obviously impacted mutually the relationship between pakistan's eastern border, india. there's the contested triakishmie. it continues to be a point of contention between india and pakistan. separately, pakistan is in an interesting geographic position and it has a complicated relationship with all of these countries. there is economic uncertainty at the moment. this is political polarization.

last night amidst all of the pomp and zealous celebrations that were taking place with the fireworks and the music, there were also thousands of people in a giant stadium in pakistan's provincial capitol where opposition leader had many people come in to his rally calling for change. there is a lot of hope and desire for a better life for pakistanis. there's also the issue of climate change. the past month and even today we've seen extreme weather hit the south asian region. you've got 500 people died in july alone in pakistan because of flooding and experts have said that this is -- this extreme weather is linked to climate change. it is an issue that is going to continue being a problem for pakistan and india and it might be a situation where because of its precariousness, because of

the fact that this is going to dramatically affect the populations of these two countries, that they will have to sit down and reconcile and find solutions to these problems. kim? >> all right. thanks so much. sophia from islamabad. appreciate it. neighboring afghanistan, monday marks one year since the taliban retook the country. by the time the air lift ended, two weeks later only a small fraction of the afghans made it out. 13 u.s. service members were killed in a suicide bombing before it was over. today the guns are mostly silent but the country is more impoverished than ever. afghan women have all been erased from the area. huge percentages of afghan children no longer attend school. the absence of women from

opportunity to transport the metals, it's fueling sea level rise and extreme weather, a concern for scientists working below the ice sheet in ice tunnels using heavy machinery to drill and retrieve ice samples. analysis of the 60,000-year-old ice may yield clues about greenland's past climate. concern is also high in northwest greenland where cnn joined a team of scientists that measured ice melt on the arctic ocean. >> we're trying to determine how that ice that is happening now, how the ice that used to survive several years in a row is disappearing. >> reporter: this highlights a unique dichotomy. greenland is ground zero for the impact of climate change but it could also become ground zero for sourcing the metals needed to power the solution to the crisis. greenland's significant mineral

deposits could meet some of the world's growing demand for the materials also allowing them to diversify the mineral sourcing. right now china dominates the global supply. rene marsh, cnn, washington. gray cobblestones of the central square in brussels have blossomed into a kaleidoscope of color. the famous flower carpet is back after a year of pause of the coronavirus. artists re-created the original design from 1971. hundreds of volunteers took hours to organize them. they say they'll water the sod to protect the blooms from wilting and it ends on monday. breathtaking. well, that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber. for viewers in north america,
