♪ good morning, everyone. and welcome to your new day. i'm amara walker. >> good morning, amara. i'm boris sanchez. there are growing concerns of a potential nuclear disaster in ukraine as russia stages war from a power plant only a few hundred feet from a nuclear reactor. the pressure coming from the international community to allow inspectors in. and vanessa bryant takes the stand detailing the moment she learned l.a. county deputies shared graphic photos of the crash that killed her husband and daughter. what her testimony could mean for the case. plus, it's that time of

year. tropical storm warnings up for parts of texas. we're going to see some heavy rainfall in certain parts. we're going to tell you where and what that means for drought conditions. and a massive fire erupts at a boat yard in massachusetts. what we're learning about the fire and the damage that's been done. ♪ welcome to your weekend, saturday, august 20th. we're grateful to have you. thanks so much for waking up with us. great to be with you, amara. >> i can't believe it's august 20th. i wait for the weekends to know what the date is. i'm realizing, oh my gosh, we're close to september. that's good. cooler weather, please. we were just talking about that, yes. it's almost halloween. good to be with you, boris. >> of course. >> we have a lot of news going on. we begin with the intense situation surrounding the z

zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. that lies on the front lines of russia's war against ukraine. the fighting around the area have intensified so have concerns about a possible nuclear disaster. >> cnn first reported, new satellite images are contradicting claims made by russia. they argue there is systemic shelling there. the images as you can see for yourself don't show that. vladimir putin is accusing the ukrainian military of conducting repeated military strikes at the plant. special adviser to ukraine's armed services chief says that moscow simply cannot be trusted. listen. >> russia also tells two truths and a lie. you can't believe anything they say. ukraine snot firing at their own nuclear plant within their country. russia is and that's called a false flag attack. their worry is that instead of dropping a nuclear weapon he would actually just hit the -- just have a meltdown. >> over the past month, a number of rockets and shells have

landed on the territory around the plant. according to satellite imagery analyzed by cnn, ukraine and russia are pointing fingers at one another over the attacks. >> let's get the latest now from ukraine and take you out to zaporizhzhia with sam kylie. sam, there was a phone call with french president emmanuel macron and vladimir putin. and the kremlin reportedly agreed to allow this nuclear watchdog group to access the plant. what more can you tell us about that plan? >> reporter: well, the plant, which is about 15, 20 miles from where i'm standing, is the biggest in europe. and it has been captured by the russians since march the 4th. you'll recall then, boris and amara, back then i was in zaporizhzhia pretty much the same time. there were deep concerns because the russians were using live ammunition. it was a combat operation to

capture this nuclear power station. deep concerns there that some kind of cat lichl could be unleashed. those concerns have resurfaced very significantly in the last few weeks because the russians have now been using it or areas very close to it as a fire base to fire rockets against ukrainian positions. now, the russians deny this. that denial is a lie. we have been able to see with our own eyes the effects of that rocket attacks on villages just across the d knee proriver. on top of that we had this phone call with emmanuel macron. again, initiated by the french president to the russian president to try to get through to him the gravity, the international gravity with which they all see the problems that are unfolding in the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. following that, putin repeated the allegation that the ukrainians are shelling their own power plant. we now know from our own satellite imagery and analysis that since just over a month ago, since july 19th, there's been no significant shelling of

that location by anybody, much less the ukrainians. so, there is no evidence whatsoever to support this claim being made by the russians. but they have indicated or reiterated effectively that the iaea, responsible for monitoring nuclear power stations around the world, including in places like iran, should be given access to this location. the issue now -- and that is a repeat offer from the russians -- the issue has always been how do they get in? is it safe for them to get in? this is a nuclear power station. the whole point of the concern is that it's on the front line. so the international community wants to see it demilitarized any way. not necessarily as a condition for the iaea to go in, it could be dangerous for them to cross the dnipro river. shells are flying over their head ukrainian territory and try

to get into a nuclear power station that itself is surrounded. so very, very fraught moment indeed. amara, boris? >> sam kylie, appreciate your reporting. thank you. now, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says he is thankful for the latest aid package from the u.s. he calls it another step toward defeating the aggressor. >> the united states is providing another 775 million dollars in military aid to ukraine. cnn pentagon correspondent oren lieberman has details on what this latest package includes. >> reporter: this is the 19th draw-down of weapons for ukraine pulled from u.s. inventories. it now means, according to the defense department, the u.s. has committed more than $10 billion in security assistance to ukraine since the beginning of the biden administration. and this has some new equipment, although part of it follows much of what we have seen in the past. the u.s. providing more ammunition for the high mars

system, that gps-guarded artillery rocket system a senior defense official says has proven huge. they don't have all that much ammo, so it's important that the u.s. keeps providing it when it's needed. but the defense official says they have used what they have very effectively. this has been one of the key weapons. in terms of what else is going in, there are a number of smaller 105 millimeter howitzers going in, more anti-tank weapons such as javelins. for the first time, toe missiles a slightly longer range anti-tank missiles. there's also an emphasis here on a new capability and that is mind clearing. defense official says russia has heavily mined southern and eastern ukraine, so they'll need that sort of equipment to be able to clear that area for civilian use or want to carry out their own operations there. then there are a number of reconnaissance drones, humvee, night goggles and communication

equipment. this is what the u.s. is providing now. volodymyr zelenskyy saying he was very thankful for the latest equipment given the numbers we're seeing, clear indication the u.s., ukraine and the west for this matter don't see this as a fight that's ending any time soon. boris and amara? >> oren, thank you. let's get perspective now on developments in ukraine and the concerns over this nuclear power plant. joining us now is cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel cedrik lleyton. we're seeing so many families, women and children who live near the zaporizhzhia power plant, leaving, afraid an attack might be imminent. what's your assessment of the situation? how tenuous is it? >> good morning, amara. it's pretty tenuous. especially if you're a civilian in zaporizhzhia area, it is really time to get out.

it's also interesting about this is that the russians have told their people to stay away from the plant, at least that was the report in yesterday. so that may indicate the russians are planning to do something against that plant, which, of course, is at odds with what they talked about -- president putin talked about with the french president. but for a civilian in this area, it is definitely a dangerous time because of the risk to the six reactors that are there, the possibility of inadvertent strike on them or even a direct, deliberate strike. so this is not only bad for the people in the immediate vicinity, but even in areas a little bit distant from that it could mean some possible radiation fallout. and that is, of course, something to be avoided at all costs. >> and just to follow up on that because i know some have compared the situation to chernobyl, but you say the fukushima plant in japan is a more accurate comparison.

why do you say that? >> well, i believe that's the case because of the type of protections that the zaporizhzhia plant has and also these protections include such things as hardening of the reactor, vessel support of the reactor, they're actually hardened against direct bomb hits, things of that nature. also, the type of accident that happened at chernobyl was vastly different from the type that would probably occur at zaporizhzhia if it unfortunately the facility were hit. fukushima was the kind of disaster where it basically ended up with the cutting of the pipes to the cooling vessels. and that's the kind of thing that could potentially happen in zaporizhzhia. so that's something that you really have to be very careful of and hopefully neither type of event will occur. but it's something we have to be prepared for. >> yeah, absolutely.

that's frightening to think about. so you also mentioned this along with sam kylie about this phone call between the french president emmanuel macron and putin who agreed, at least in theory, to allowing the iaea visit this plant and of course, throughout this war it has been illustrated that you don't take the russians at their word or at their agreements until they actually follow through. why would access be important and do you think the russians will follow through on this? >> yeah, that's the big question right now, amara. the russians, i think, it would be in their interest to follow through. the question is how much are they going to reveal to iaea inspectors. as far as this is concerned, i think we're dealing with more games from putin and the possibility is that it could frankly go either way. i think that in this case the russians will probably allow

ieae come through the ukrainian side makes through an interesting dynamic because the plant is on the other side of the river from where the ukrainian positions are. but, this is something that will have to observe. i think there will be a lot of international pressure on russia to do this. the question is whether or not it's going to be a valid inspection and whether or not it will actually stop something bad from happening. >> you know, just listening to oren lieberman's reporting there, i mean, $10 billion in aid to ukraine since biden took office. that seems to be a whole lot of money. and then so now you have another $775 million being sent. at what point is all this aid going to be significant enough to really turn the tide in favor of the ukrainians? >> the main thing about this kind of aid is obviously you

need it to make this stuff work, but the big thing for the ukrainians is their willingness and their ability to fight. the ukrainians have done a magnificent job up to this point in defending their country. one of the limitations that the ukrainians have is the fact that they are not allowed, as sam mentioned in his reporting, to actually go into russia with these weapons. in other words, the range of the weapons is basically capped to be a much more medium range type effect as opposed to a strategic effect. and that will have a limitation on the ukrainians being able to roll back russians. of course, we're doing it for the reason of de-escalation, make it almost difficult for the russians to tie in nato to this, but the russians will find -- try to find an excuse to do that. the other thing i think, amara, is the ukrainians will have to make sure that they are very careful in their expenditure of

resources whether it's ammunition weapons themselves or people. they cannot risk losing too many people in this effort. so far they are doing a pretty good job recently using the new weapons that they've gotten from the west. that is making a big difference. so the money is well spent in terms of this kind of thing. but, it is not going to be enough without the ukrainians continuing to put up the fight that they have. >> yeah, absolutely. cedrik lleyton, appreciate your time. thank you. >> you bet, amara. kobe bryant's widow, vanessa bryant, delivered emotional testimony in court yesterday. how her story and that of a man who shared photos of the devastating accident scene at a cocktail party could factor into the case. and later, an injured little leaguer making an amazing recovery after a freak accident. we're going to bring you that story and much more this morning on "new day."

♪ vanessa bryant, the widow of basketball legend kobe bryant, gave emotional testimony in court yesterday as part of her lawsuit against los angeles county. >> at times breaking down in tears on the witness stand, bryant said she suffers panic attacks and anxiety after officials took and shared close-up photos from the helicopter crash that killed her husband, daughter and seven others in 2020. cnn's natasha chen with more. >> reporter: amara and boris, we heard from a very tearful vanessa bryant gave heart breaking testimony about panic attacks she never had before but started experiencing once she found out through an l.a. times article about a month after the crash that l.a. county sheriff's deputies and county firefighters had taken and shared close-up images of her loved one's remains of the crash site.

she talks about the moment she found out about that how she was with family but had to run out of the room, run out of the house, so that her daughters would not see her fall apart. she said it felt like she wanted to run and scream and jump into the ocean, but, quote, i can't escape my body. i can't escape what i feel. she said she's even gotten strangers, very disturbing direct messages on instagram, shown to us in the courtroom, someone using helicopter and flame emojis and then threatening to leak the majs of kobe's body. vanessa bryant is a coplaintiff in this case. sitting next to chris chester who lost his wife and daughter in the same crash. both describe this fear and anxiety that these photos could some day surface on the internet and how that is compounded on top of the grief that they already felt losing family members. now, the county in defense has emphasized that neither of them have ever seen a single one of these county employee photos out

in public. and when they had sheriff alex villanueva on the stand later in the afternoon, they explained that his highest priority was stopping those photos from getting out, not letting the horse out of the barn so to speak. that's why the sheriff said he asked those deputies to delete the photos in question instead of waiting for a formal investigation to go through. when the plaintiff's attorneys pushed him on whether he knew for a fact that the photos had been deleted, he said i believe that they are. when further pushed, he said, well, god knows and that's about it. amara and boris, back to you. >> natasha, thank you. let's discuss this further. joining me now is cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. good morning to you, joey. just to be clear, vanessa bryant is suing l.a. county for emotional distress. what do you make of her testimony? and was it enough to prove that she has been through quite a lot of emotional distress?

>> yeah. amara good morning to you. i think very compelling, very emotional, very impactful. and so it's not only her testimony, remember, although she testified at the very end before the defense began the case, but it's about the additional testimony that we have seen in conjunction with that, amara, and what was that? it was about the notion that you can have these photos that were taken and shared on multiple devices. one deputy sharing them with a person that he did not even know who they were. the title, anything else. you had instances of them being shared to others in public, one specifically in a bar, another at a cocktail party. so now you have after that mr. chester, her co-plaintiff in this case, he testifies about how it affected him, his daughter peyton 13, the twin boys he is left to deal with. then of course it culminates into vanessa bryant sharing her story about how it impacts her

emotionally, how she would have had greater trust in authorities really to not have this happen and how it has just impacted her and really just devastated her and her family, not only with respect to what happened but with regard to what could happen in moving forward if the photos were leaked. so i think all in all, just very gripping. i just think the jury really could see that and resonate to that being really emotionally stressful and invasion of privacy. >> i'm curious to know what the defense strategy is then because they did indicate that, you know, they're going to be using some of the instagram posts from vanessa bryant, particularly one where she's dressed up in a halloween costume as crew el la deville. why would that help the defense's case? >> so, what the defense is trying to establish are a couple of things. first thing they're saying, amara, they took all reasonable steps to contain this. the first thing they indicated was that the photos were

necessary by virtue of it being a crash site and they needed to be documented. that was very much in dispute. the second issue in dispute is whether there were 25 photos or 100 photos or if you know how many photos. at the end of the day what the county is arguing is they took every reasonable measure and step to contain the photos. that they were not -- the photos did not surface online nor do they anticipate that to occur. with respect to vanessa bryant stepping up, important here right, in a halloween costume, is the extent to which you're emotionally distressed. the defense questioned her the fact that she's managing businesses. as a result of that, she has the wherewithal to do that. the defense indicating she in essence is having, right, good times in her life, as if she never would be able to. but they're trying to establish that she doesn't have the degree of emotional distress that she's indicating. last point, the defense is also saying that it's really the

helicopter crash itself and not so much the distribution of photos that really is a means of stress. and the fact that vanessa bryant can sit through the trial itself indicates she is not as stressed as she would appear. that's the defense and country's strategy. whether it works for the jury, that's very unclear. >> will it work with the jury, good question. joey jackson, appreciate you, as always. thanks so much. >> thank, amara. a tropical storm warning has been issued for parts of texas and mexico. we've got your latest forecast just minutes away. this thing, it's making me get an ice bath again. what do you mean? these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv d rem sleep, so younow all you need for recovery. and you are? i'm an investor...in invesco qqq, a fund that gives me aess to...

♪ as hurricane season is starting to ramp up, tropical storm warnings have been issued through parts of texas through the western gulf of mexico today. >> nearly 10 million people are under flood watches in areas of southwest. let's get to meteorologist

allison chinchar with more. >> good morning. yes, it's going to be a very active next couple of days especially for the state of texas. we're keeping an eye on this potential tropical cyclone four. it doesn't look like all that much at this moment, but it's trying to get itself together. we are starting to see the convection of thunderstorms around it begin to increase in activity. that is a favorable sign for development, but right now sustained winds just at 35 miles per hour. the forecast does call for this to become a named tropical storm in the next 24 hours. as it continues to make its trek off to the northwest, likely making landfall somewhere along that texas/mexico border before slowly creeping inward. now, if it does, in fact, get named today. the next name on the list is danielle. the biggest concern with this storm is going to be moisture. there's a ton of it. all of that tropical moisture is going to surge into areas of texas, namely eastern texas in the short term. but texas is also going to get twofold because you also have

this system that's currently over the southwest that's also going to make its way towards the east, pushing all of that rain into areas of texas. so you've got two separate systems here. now, that other one we talked about, this has the potential to bring flooding to areas of arizona, portions of new mexico in the short term, mainly focussed today and tomorrow. notice all of these showers and thunderstorms expected in the southwest today, but then they all begin to shift over towards oklahoma and texas by the time we get to sunday and especially monday. when we talk about the forecast rainfall accumulations, look at this wide swath of yellows, oranges and reds. the red indicating 6 to 10 inches of rain. you're talking a tremendous amount. remember, in a short period of time, really the bulk of this, boris and amara, really comes in the next three days. now the good news is it's a drought-stricken area. you just don't want that much in a short period of time. >> yeah, that's always a fear, too much rain in a short period of time. allison chinchar, thank you.

>> thank you. senator lindsey graham may have to appear next week before a grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. >> yeah. the trump ally has been trying to fight a subpoena in court, but so far a federal judge has ruled the south carolina lawmaker must testify. cnn's sara murray has more. >> reporter: boris and amara, south carolina senate lindsey graham is still trying to get out of show up on tuesday and testify before a special grand jury in georgia. now, a federal judge already said she was not going to quash lindsey graham's subpoena. graham went back to that judge and said, could you put a stay on your ruling? could you essentially push pause on this because i'm planning to appeal. on friday that judge said, senator graham raises a number of arguments as to why he is likely to succeed on the merits, but they are all unpersuasive. now graham does have one other iron in the fire. he told the appeals court he is planning on filie ing an appeald asked that court if they would

stay the lower court's ruling, push pause so he doesn't have to show up tuesday and wait to see how this appeal plays out. the appeals court has not yet ruled on that ask from graham. the district attorney is interested in lindsey graham because he had a phone call with georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger. he came away from that call feeling like graham was asking him to throw away ballots in a way that could benefit donald trump. graham has denied that this was his intent. but this is, of course, just one of the things that the district attorney wants to get to the bottom of with senator graham. we will see if he manages to get out of that tuesday appearance. back to you guys. >> sara murray, thank you so much. let's dig deeper now with cnn legal analyst and former new york prosecutor paul kallan. appreciate you getting up bright and early for us. so lindsey graham says he's protected under the speech and debate clause. he's arguing he was acting in his capacity as a member of congress. what do you make of that position? >> well, good morning, boris.

yeah, it is early. but, it's always nice to be with you. the speech and debate clause of the constitution is a very interesting clause and very important one. essentially when the founding fathers were putting the constitution together, they decided that members of congress, when they're engaged in regular legislative duty on the floor of the house or senate, are immune from arrest or being compelled to testify in other places. there was a fear that they would be yanked off the congressional floor by local authorities and not able to do their job, their federal job. that's what the court is looking at here. graham is saying, hey, that phone call that i made to the secretary of state in georgia was a legislative purpose. we were looking as he was by the way head of the judiciary committee in the senate. he's trying to say that he was kind of examining those procedures in connection with potential maybe legislation that could be adopted in congress.

georgia officials are saying that's complete nonsense because raffensperger said in that call graham was asking about throwing away some absentee ballots in such a way that might help the trump candidacy. didn't really have a legislative purpose. it had strictly a political purpose. and so far georgia officials have ruled in favor of him having to testify, saying this looks to be a political purpose, not a legislative purpose. >> the fulton county da's office saying delaying his testimony could result in quote, material injury to the grand jury and its investigation. in the grand scheme of things, how do you see graham fitting into their case? >> well, this is -- i think graham is an important part of their case because the entire trump defense, which is being articulated by giuliani and the trump campaign, is essentially that any calls that were made to

georgia were not calls attempting to illegally overturn the election. but were simply examining what had gone on and asking them to be careful that the votes had been counted carefully. so, graham here though is trying to go up into the appellate courts, the federal appellate courts to stall husband testimony. and, of course, he's pulled the district court judge who said, no, you have no legitimate argument here, you're going to testify. so he has now gone to the appel la court and hoping he will issue a stay, maybe he'll take a shot at the supreme court later on to keep him off the witness stand in georgia. >> what do you think his chances are of success on that appeal in the 11th circuit? >> i don't think his chances are great. the federal judge in the case believes that the state of georgia has very, very strong arguments here that this is not legitimate use of the speech and debate clause and that, in fact, everything indicates that

graham's purpose was political. and there's another argument here that's very interesting one. how do you determine whether it's a political purpose or a legislative purpose if you don't get to question the person? so that's one of the arguments that's being asserted by georgia officials. i think they'll probably get them on the witness stand. >> paul, quickly, i want to get your thoughts while we have you on the investigation at mar-a-lago. the justice department has until next week because of this federal judge to propose redactions to the affidavit that led to the search of former president trump's home. you have argued that it is in the judge's interest to release the information. help us understand why. >> well, one of the things you have to think about here is that when the fbi went looking to get this warrant issued, a warrant to search the residence of a former president of the united states, this is a big deal. and the same judge who is hearing these arguments now about public release of the

affidavit supporting the application, the probable cause application, is the same judge who made the decision that there was enough to go in and search the residence. so i have to think the judge probably is releasing or saying we should release as much of the affidavit as possible because there was strong probable cause supporting the warrant. otherwise the judge will be criticizing himself if he's releasing an affidavit that couldn't support the search. so it's kind of in the judge's interest to go a little bit more public with this affidavit to show that the courts were acting properly in the extraordinary circumstance of searching in a former president's residence. >> again, prosecutors have until next thursday to propose those redactions. we hope you'll come back and give us your legal perspective then. thanks so much. >> always nice to be here. thanks, boris. >> appreciate it. still ahead, new research that shows nearly half of all
