. welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states and canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on cnn news"cnn newsroom, white house is raising concern about the classified documents that may have been held in

mar-a-lago. and we're keep ing an eye o flooding in the southwestern u.s. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom," with kim brunhuber. >> the biden white house is officially hands off regarding last week's fbi search of donald trump's mar-a-lago residence. it turned up 11 sets of classified material, including some with the highest secrecy. privately, some white house officials admit they're worried about what other sensitive docu might be out there. as jessica schneider reports, the department of justice is pushing back. >> reporter: prosecutors have less than one week to submit proposed redactions to the judge so he can decide what might be released publicly. it will likely be a tall task

for this department of justice. they have said repeatedly that any retaxedactions they would propose it would make the affidavit devoid of content. regardless, the judge wants their recommendation business next thursday at noon, and he might have additional conversations with the doj before he makes his final decision about what will be released. so parts of it will likely be released, but certainly not the juiciest and most consequential details. they say the release of the document could derail their investigation and endanger witnesses working in this probe. there is revealing information in this that would make it very clear who exactly is a witness, who is talking to the feds, and the concern is, it's been such a volatile situation in the days since the mar-a-lago search with people threatening fbi agents that these witnesses could be in

danger if any details in this affidavit come out. so we'll see what doj proposes in the next week, because they have already argued that any redactions they would suggest would be so extensive there would be nothing left of consequence. in the end they may have to compromise with this judge. because the judge wants to release at least part of the affidavit. >> the trump factor is looming over republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections. some are aligning themselves as closely as possible with the former president, but others are trying to avoid him every step of the way. mitch mcconnell admitted it will be tough for republicans to retake the senate. and now their party figures urge candidates to focus on issues and not donald trump. >> reporter: with fewer than 100 days until the midterm election,

republicans are starting to put a finer point on their midterm strategy. in the general election, it is a di different calculation. i am told that republican tom immer has been privately counseling some candidates to avoid any trump talk and not be distracted by the former president and told them to be k focussed on issues such as crime, inflation and the border. i've talked to a number of these republican candidates who says they've tried to do exactly that. one only mentioned trump when asked about him by constituents. another said they never mention him by name and only talk about his policies, but that is going to be extremely difficult to do with trump continuing to dominate headlines with myriad

investigations and teasing a presidential bid before the midterms. there's a lot of concern among republicans about this midterm election becoming a referendum on donald trump instead of joe biden. and we should also point out that this concern is not just limited to the house. in the senate, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has warned that the fall fight is going to be extremely close in part because of these donald trump-backed candidate whose have struggled in their races. take a listen. in i think there's probably a greater likelihood the house flips than the senate. candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome. right now we have a 50/50 senate and a 50/50 country. but i think when all is said and done, we're likely to have an extremely close senate. >> reporter: of course mcconnell did not name trump there, but it is clear that he is frustrated with how things are shaking out and he's trying to set some

expectations ahead of november. cnn, capitol hill. >> earlier, i spoke with cnn senior political analyst and asked him about liz cheney's primary loss and about whether she might run for president in 2024. >> liz cheney is not going to be the republican nominee that. is very clear. but if she runs in 2024, she could have influence over the outcome, particularly in a general election. if you look at polling, kim, consistently, somewhere depending on the question between 20% and 25% of republicans consistently say that donald trump, donald trump's claims about the election are not true. that he is, his actions after election day were improper, that he bears a responsibility for what happened on january of6, a

cheney has the opportunity to remind those voters why they are uncomfortable with trump. the real leverage that those voters have, the cheneys have and that the dwindling band of republican critics of trump have is real any a general election is to withhold their votes in a general election, and i think there are many people who correctly believe that the republican party is not going to change, you know, get off of this trump-like path unless it is proved to them that it is electorally kind of a dead end. and right now they do not believe that. but a cheney candidacy that kind of moved those voters who are uneasy with trump out of the republican party in a general election may be the kind of thing that could begin to get the party to rethink, but, you know t is pretty clear, it's an uphill fight at this point, given the level of dominance he's displayed over the summer. >> we'll have more of my conversation with ron brownstein next hour on "cnn newsroom."

a federal judge won't be delaying a ruling ordering senator lindsey graham to appear before a georgia grand jury. he has been fighting a subpoena investigating republican efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. they argued that his testimony is crucial to investigator, and the judge agreed. graham also has an emergency request to put the subpoena on hold while the appeal plays out. the kremlin and french government say russian president vladimir putin indicated his support for an idea in a conversation with emmanuel macron, the international atomic energy commission has been

pressing for a visit. >> translator: if russian blackmail with radiation continue, the summer may go down in the history of various european countries as one of the most tragic of all time. because not a single instruction at any nuclear power plant in the world provide as procedure in case a terrorist state turns a nuclear power plant into a target. >> meanwhile, u.n. secretar secretary-general gutierres says electricity produced at zaporizhzhia belongs to ukraine. the iaea said there's no immediate threat to nuclear safety, at least not for now, despite the repeated shelling of the plant. as fred pleitgen reports, moscow and kyiv aren't mincing words as they blame each other for the

attacks. >> reporter: they blame each other for bringing the world to the brink of a nuclear disaster. vladimir putin with staunch warning after a call with french president macron. the shelling of the nuclear power plant creates the danger of a radiation to vast territories. these new images by maxar seem to show little to no additional damage in the area of the plant since mid july. but ukrainians say russia has moved heavy weapons to the power plant and is shelling ukrainian towns nearby. it's unacceptable that russia puts all of us on the verge of a nuclear catastrophe on a global scale, ukraine's president said. as the brutal war in ukraine

drags on, with neither side recently making significant territorial gains, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the biggest in europe with six reactors, lies right on the front line. one thing both russians and ukrainians can agree on, a full-blown nuclear catastrophe here could be as bad or worse than the chernobyl disaster in 1986 which contaminated large areas in eastern europe. they accuse ukraine of nplannin a false flag event. they are planning an event during the visit of the secretary-general to ukraine. and they will be accused of creating a man-made disaster russia's spokesman said. the ukrainians regent those claims, and the u.n. secretary-general who was in ukraine once again called for

the nuclear power plant and surroundings to be d demilitarized. but russia says it won't pull its army out of the plant. instead, kremlin-controlled media blaming the u.s. and its allies for the standoff and threat threatening the west with nuclear strikes. nato should have no illusions, the anchor says. you won't get away with this, and you can't hide from us anywhere. we have enough warheads for everyone to get what they deserve. however, after that phone call on friday between macron and putin, both putin and macron agreed that moscow would allow a time of iaea inspectors to visit that plant and it could happen in september. a new study is giving more

a danish company that makes monkeypox vaccines is expanding its authority. the danish company's limited capacity has been one factor in straining delivery of more doses, but it will send more bulk dosages to be subplit into smaller doses. it's suggested that monkeypox can linger on household objects. the study tested 30 items. of those 30 items, 21 had traces

of the virus. it indicate low risk of transmission. for more on the monkeypox outbreak, let's bring in dr. sheila young mercato, who is a health equity advocate. thank you so much for joining us, so doctor, as we're a still learning more about this virus and how it spreads, just for folks that they're watching, how worried should they be and who exactly should go out there and get the vaccine? >> you know, with any virus, we have to consider who is most at risk for serious illness. with this virus and with covid-19, the people who should, like, be prioritized for the vaccine are those immunocompromised or individuals who may be at a higher risk of serious complications for the virus. >> okay. and also, i mean, data suggests that black and latino men who

have sex with men are far more likely to catch the virus than their white counterparts. it seems that the messaging isn't reaching those communities that need it most. what is being done to head that off in. >> we need to provide education for folks to let them know that the community is being impacted. there have been town halls that have been held, webinars, groups getting to the, letting folks know that it's not very much in the mass media, so i'm happy that you're really bringing this out for people so that they should, you know, know that there is a risk, and at this time, you know, really go back into certain communities and, you know, see what folks are saying about how to stay safe. so there's been a lot of advice out there. there's some google docs that are going around right now that have a lot of information on how to stay safe.

you know, maybe not as much clubbing right now. limiting your sexual partners. even though folks are using condoms or other protection, monkeypox can still be transferred just by being in can'c contact with someone, even if the lesions aren't really showing. so it's important that folks limit their activity at this time and try their best to cut back on some of them as this virus is going through. >> you and i talked about health equity and outreach to black and brown communities during covid. and the biden administration has taken all the hits about monkeypox, about how slow they've been to react to this. it seems that we haven't really learned a lot of lessons from the covid pandemic.

they should be so fresh. >> you know, i will say that one thing that we do have is the fact that we do have a vaccine, and we do have an anti-viral medication, which we didn't have immediately during the covid-19 outbreak. the thing that is different right now in the way that we're handling this is that we should have learned how to prioritize those who are at highest risk. we already know that in the black and latino communities, you know, the risk of infection is so much higher, so they should be prioritized. now if you're going to set up your vaccination system so that everyone logs on and, you know, gets their appointment for the vaccine, that's not going to work for these communities, because people, again, are working multiple jobs to pay their rent in very

high-cost-of-living areas. >> the biden administration announced a pilot this week that will make up to 50,000 monkeypox doses available to distribute at lgbtq events. do you think measures targeted like that will work? what more needs to be done? >> i think that can work, but i also want to bring to the surpass the fact that you know, yes, we're looking at one particular community, but really, this is a virus that everyone is at risk for. it may be in this community right now, however, it can spread to others, and so no one is immune. this is, and i want to be very clear about this. this is not a virus that will only infect people who are part of the gay, the lgbtq communities. we need to make sure there's no stigma that's being placed on the communities. >> really appreciate your

world. i'm kim brunhuber, this is "cnn newsroom." prosecutors have less than a week now to tell a federal judge what they would like to redact in the affidavit that led to the search of donald trump's florida home. the department of justice says they would have to redact so much that the document would be devoid of content. they have keyed in on one key phrase that is willful retention of national security information. that suggests the president could be part of a criminal investigation. they are privately worried about the volume of classified materials seized at mar-a-lago and whether more sensitive documents might still be missing. on the wake of that mar-a-lago search, top democrats on the house oversight committee are sounding the alarm over the increasing and disturbing number of online threats against law enforcement. cnn's brian todd reports.

>> reporter: an urgent call from key members of congress to social media companies. do something about the surge of online threats to law enforcement. congresswoman carolyn maloney and other top democrats on the house oversight committee sent letters to the chief executives of eight companies urging them to quote take immediate action. >> i'm all for the first amendment. what i'm not for is insurrection type violent type speech being promoted, passed on in these mediums that can lead to a real really destabilized situation. >> reporter: in the letter they cite something on truth social saying "f the feds." and another saying "arm yourselves, we're about to enter into civil war." >> if this language continues, i'm worry thad mied that more pe going to get killed. >> reporter: a law enforcement source told cnn there is an unprecedented number of threats

the fbi is investigating against its personnel and property. and a joint bulletin obtained by cnn warned of a threat to quote, place a so-called dirty bomb in front of fbi headquarters. the bulletin cites calls for civil war, armed rebellion. specific law enforcement agents have been threatened with death. far right extremists, including white supremacists could target fbi agents in the field. >> every single door knock, every individual you go to interview as it relates to the january 6 investigation, you have to worry about, do they want you dead when you knock on that door? >> reporter: cnn was recently told threats against eights are real and imminent. it came in the wake of an attack on the fbi field noffice in cincinnati. and in recent days, a man was arrested for making threats on social media, "my only goal is

to kill more of them before i drop". >> the simple task of walking out of the field office and going to lunch now requires an extra layer of situational awareness. >> reporter: another big concern that members of congress pressed the social media companies on, doxing, the process of releasing someone's personal information online or on social media. fbi agents have been targeted with doxing in recent days, including information on one agent's wife and child. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> south carolina's attorney general has announced more indictments against disbarred attorney alex murdaugh. a grand jury announced more charges, including obtaining a signature by false pretenses. the last indictments allege that he stole from his former law firm and brother. a grand jury indicted him in

connection to the deaths of his wife margaret and youngest son paul found shot to death in their home in june 2021. he pleaded not guilty to those charges. a senior u.s. official says iran has dropped a key demand that had been a sticking point in the flnuclear deal. iran didn't ask that the iranian revolutionary guard corps be removed from the list of foreign terror organizations. the u.s. had repeatedly rejected the request. monday's agreement has been described by the eu as the final draft. on friday, a member of an execution squad dubbed the "isis beatles" was sentenced. he was given eight concurrent life sentences and convicted for his role in the hostage taking and deaths of four americans and several others including u.s.

journalist, james foley. the anniversary of his 2014 beheading was friday. here's foley's mother on the verdict. >> let this sentencing make clear to all who dare to kidnap, torture or kill any american citizen abroad that u.s. justice will find you wherever you are. and that our government will hold you accountable for your crimes against our citizens. >> prosecutors say he helped run a network of at least nine detention facilities in syria, in which 26 civilian hostages from 12 countries were held. the u.n. human rights office is urging saudi officials to release a woman sentenced to 34 year in jail for her tweets. they say she never should have been arrested and charged in the first place. >> reporter: so much anger, outrage and shock from human

rights defenders around the world over the sentencing of the woman, a 33-year-old saudi mother of two, a ph.d. student at the university of leeds in the united kingdom. she was detained in january 2021 when she was on holiday back in saudi arabia, and she was held for much of 2021 for questioning before she was referred to the country's specialized criminal court. that's the court that essentially deals with terrorism cases. and she was sentenced to six years in jail initially, because of her twitter activity. now she appealed that sentence. she made the argument that she is the mother of two young boys who are 3 and 5. her own mother is ill, and she needs to be there for her children. and this month, the saudi court came back with a decision to increase her sentence to 34 years in jail. followed by another 34 year

travel ban. cnn was able to review court documents, and it appears that the saudi f prosecution dropped this case against her. they claim she was providing aid to her twitter account and tweets to people who they say were aiming to destabilize the country, to undermine its security and public order. now we have gone through her twitter account, as did human rights watch, and from what you can see, she was supporting and voicing her support for dissidents, human rights activists, women's rights campaigners in the kingdom, people who were behind bars in saudi arabia because of their activism, because of calling for freedom. now the saudis have not said

anything publicly about theis case. we understand that she will be able to appeal this sentence. we've heard from the united nations human rights office that says that this case is an example of how saudi authorities have weaponized the country's anti-terrorism laws. its anti-cyber crimes laws to go after, to target, to intimidate those who attempt to speak out, to silence voices of dissent in the kingdom, and we've heard from saudi activists and others who say that this is exactly the scenario they were warning about. when world leaders like president biden and president macron and others meeting with the saudi crown prince, mending ties with the de facto ruler,

they say this was only going to embolden the crown prince and others to continue their harsh crackdowns in the kingdom but intensify it. the prime minister of finland is pushing back after a leaked video shows her dancing at a private party. we'll look at what she's doing now to quiet critics and political opponents. plus a tropical storm warning has been issued for parts of texas and mexico. we've got the latest on that. stay with us.

large explosions rocked the hyatt hotel in mogadishu. they warn the death toll is likely to rise because casualties are still coming into the hospital. the hotel was popular with lawmakers and officials. the al qaeda-linked terrorist group, al shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack. in the u.s., over 100 firefighters responded to a fire at massachusetts boatyard. the blaze burned several buildings, boats and cars. witnesses say they heard a large explosion followed by a huge plume of black smoke. at least four people were hurt. and high winds played a role in spreading the flames. investigators are investigating what caused the fire. millions of people are

been, but there are signs in the upper levels of the atmosphere that meteorologists look to that show this had swill start to ch. we have potential tropical cyclone four in the bay of campeche. we've got the latest 5:00 a.m. update from the national hurricane sther,center, they ha named the storm, but by probably 7:00 local time we expect tropical storm danielle be named in the coming hours, but it has not been named at the 5:00 a.m. update. here's a look at the latest forecast track. it is going to run out of landing room to become a stronger storm. we need the oceans to keep and maintain a tropical system. once it reaches land it will dissipate. but it will influence the

weather greatly across texas. here's a look at the tropical storm warning, including brownsville. look at all the tropical moisture available this. is going to interwact with a frontal boundary. that extends all the way toward the great basin, and that is going to enhance our showers and thunderstorms across drought-stricken texas in the days to come. so the potential for major rain across this area that could lead to flash flooding in and around dallas-ft. worth for example. you can see just the rainfall totals across this area over the next five days could be hefty the a times. we need the rain, but perhaps a little bit too much too soon. the weather prediction center has a level three of four across the great basin today. southern arizona and new mexico. but notice how the flash flood threat shifts to the east on sunday. this will include dallas as well as oklahoma city.

so we are going to monitor this area for the potential of flash flooding going forward. but certainly the flash flood threat exists today. >> thanks so much. derek van dam, appreciate it. and high winds are a factor in argentina's wildfires. the fire was partly under control last sunday, but by monday strong winds changed all that. haze reached buenos aires. and a drought has been officially declared in wales. conditions not seen in 40 years. southwest wales is the hardest hit with some areas receiving just 65% of the expected amount of rainfall in july. it has put a strain on rivers, reservoirs and ground water levels. in china, the country issuedity

co unbecoming of a world leader, demanding that she take a drug test. >> i consider these accusations to be very serious. and think i consider the demand for a drug test unjust, i have take and drug test, the results of which will come in about a week. >> reporter: she's appalled that the videos were released, as they were filmed in a private setting. she was not aware of any drug usage. and at no time did the night out affect her work or ability to perform her official duties. >> i didn't have any work meetings planned for that weekend. they are confirmed usually beforehand. and i didn't have any meetings. for example. saturday or sunday. i had work meetings on monday, but i, of course handled, we at

it's mookie betts. >> love you, man, praying for you. >> reporter: the family says it's not just doctors they have to thank. >> the only reason he's at this point in such a short period of time is because of our heavenly father and the way that he is showing people now that miracles do happen. we 100% attribute that to the prayers that we've been receiving across the nation. we know and the doctors agree there was divine intervention here. >> reporter: when easton's name was announced over the loudspeaker the entire stadium was on its fight. we should also tell you that the opposing team during a pregame ceremony wore snow canyon baseball caps. that tells you the type of support there is here for easton. and no matter what the outcome of the game, tennessee ended up winning, but what it shows you here is that the ultimate winner is easton. jason carroll, cnn, williamsport, pennsylvania.
