welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," heavy rain is threatening millions of americans with the potential for flash floods to hit major cities in the central and southwestern u.s. we'll have the latest from the cnn weather center. plus -- the deadly siege on an upscale hotel in somalia's capital city finally comes to an end. we'll get who's claiming responsibility for the 30-hour standoff.

and russian media reports a car explosion has killed the daughter of an influential russian philosopher and key putin ally. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brun brunhuber. we begin with the extreme weather threat across the central and southwestern u.s. a tropical storm warning has been lifted for far southern texas, but rain from that system could spread into oklahoma and louisiana through midweek. strong winds are expected as the storm moves further inland. meanwhile, more than 12 million people across the southwestern and central u.s. are under flood watches. in parts of arizona, new mexico and texas, the risk of flash flooding is high, with these areas expecting heavy rain and thunderstorms throughout the day. in new mexico, residents are doing what they can to prepare for the worst. >> water backs up into our yards

and also so far we made almost 50 sandbags. we have some that we made last year, but we're making more to prepare for that rain. >> and in utah, extreme weather forced a search and rescue mission at zion national park saturday. several hikers were swept off their feet by a flash flood. parts of the park are closed while officials continue the search. let's talk more about this with cnn meteorologist derek van dam. a potentially dangerous situation for many americans. what more can you tell us? >> the weather prediction center actually just coming out with this information, they anticipate from tonight and into monday morning portions of central and northern texas, including dallas, fort worth metroplex could see rainfall rates between 2 to 3 inches per hour. some locations could get 8 to 10 inches in total from this event. that means flash flooding is certainly a possibility. just to give you a broad

perspective on the rainfall totals, this is through tuesday, by the way. you see one computer model depicting some of the heaviest rainfall along interstate 20 corridor, extends into southern oklahoma, as well as portions of arkansas and northern louisiana as well. a large swath of heavy rainfall coming and the reason i will explain to you that in one moment, but you can see the flash flood watches in place from the southern sections of arizona and new mexico as well as western texas. but it is this new watch box that is just issued in and around dallas, this is the area where we're expecting the heavier rainfall to set up. the i-20 corridor that bisects dallas and the computer models are depicting heavy rainfall. what is happening here. we have our low pressure system associated with the monsoonal trough that swept through arizona and new mexico the past few days bringing their heavy rain and flooding.

it is slowly shifting eastward. we're also getting some help from the gulf of mexico as a weak tropical depression moved on shore, it was a post tropical depression. and it allowed for this influx of tropical moisture that is going to reach with that frontal boundary and low pressure from the storms in the great basin and that's going to enhance our rainfall potential across texas. so we really need to be aware, turn around, don't drown, if you come across a flooded roadway anywhere across the dallas region coming up this week. >> vital advice there, derek van dam, thanks so much. appreciate it. a woman hiking with friends near portland, oregon, has died after falling about 100 feet. she was on a trail in the columbia river gorge when she fell on friday and suffered a head injury. bystanders tried to save her and started cpr. the waterfall in the columbia river gorge is the most visited recreation site in the pacific northwest, 2 million tourists

visiting each year. russian state media report that the daughter of a prominent supporter of president vladimir putin was killed when the car she was driving exploded. and we're now learning russians have opened a criminal investigation. our senior international correspondent fred pleitgen joins us from moscow with details. still a developing story, but what do we know at this point? >> reporter: well, we know that this happened late last night on the outskirts of moscow. apparently she was coming in this land cruiser vehicle from a patriotic event she had attended with her father, alexander dugin, who is, of course, a prominent ideologue and philosopher here in russia, very much pushes a lot of the expansionist theories of a future russian empire and also very much supports russia's invasion of ukraine and the annexation of the donbas. darya dugina, what we know happened, she was traveling in this vehicle, when the vehicle blew up according to the

investigators and then caught fire. she was dead on the spot. there are some here in russia, sort of some of the things we're hearing from prominent circles in the pro kremlin camp especially who very much believe that alexander dugin himself may have been the target of this attack, that someone wanted him dead. he is, as we stated, someone who is quite prominent and so it is unclear who is behind this. there are already some who are blaming the ukrainians for this, but right now the investigative committee says it has launched a murder investigation into all this, but, of course, as you can imagine, big news all of us here in russia, a lot of reverberations and pretty high echelons. if you look at the kremlin-controlled media and the political sphere as well. >> yeah, we'll keep following that story for sure. cnn senior international correspondent fred pleitgen from moscow, thanks so much. in ukraine, there are warnings russia may use the

upcoming independence day holiday to launch some of its worst violence yet. on wednesday, ukraine will mark 31 years since it declared independence from the soviet union. for part of the occasion destroyed russian tanks are being put on display in kyiv. to are more, david mckenzie joins us from kyiv. what more do we know about the spheres of violence tied to ukraine's celebrations? >> reporter: obviously it is speculation, but speculation being fueled by the highest level of the ukrainian government. the next few days here in ukraine are very, very significant. it marks both the 31st anniversary from gaining independence from the soviet union, as well as six months of this bloody war that has completely turned this country upside down. and the continued fighting, brutal fighting on the various front lines. authorities here have put up this pretty symbolic and dramatic installation, several armored personnel carriers along the main street near the square

famous for the 2014 push to reduce links with the -- with russia, and the president, president zelenskyy, has warned of possible incidents. he said that russia shouldn't be allowed to have despondency in this nation. here is what he had to say. >> translator: we should be aware that russia may try to do something particularly disgusting and particularly violent next week. that's our enemy. but russia was doing something disgusting and violent every week during those six months constantly. >> reporter: so for many weeks now, kyiv itself has been free from missile or rocket attacks. since the russians removed their forces from the outer reaches of the city, it has become progressively more normal. but more normal is certainly a relative term because this nation is still at war.

kim? >> absolutely. and, david, there has been, you know, a lot of celebration around the deal that has enabled the first shipments of grain to leave ukraine's port. is that leading to more optimism about a larger peace deal? >> reporter: i think it isn't in a broader sense because despite the comments coming from the turkish president and senior officials over the last few days, hopeful that this might lead to broader discussion about some kind of end to the fighting, that is being roundly criticized here in ukraine, including from president zelenskyy, who said and this is what they said for several months now, until russia removes its forces from occupied territory, there can be no chance for any kind of discussion. but it leads to the obvious question which is that the front line itself hasn't seen dramatic moves in many months now, in fact, and that grinding conflict is having a massive impact on ukrainian forces, certainly on

russian forces, and this war feels like it isn't really changing much despite the ongoing impact it is having on civilians and soldiers alike. kim? >> all right, thanks so much, david mckenzie, appreciate it. a deadly siege in a luxury hotel in somalia is now over. and we're learning the death toll has risen. at least 30 people were killed after gunmen stormed the hayat hotel in mogadishu friday evening. dozens of others were injured. cnn is following this story from nairobi, kenya. what more are we learning about this attack and those behind it? >> reporter: kim, we're learning that 106 people were rescued from that hotel in the 30-hour plus siege that took place there. the death toll climbed to 30 and it is feared it could be much higher when the full account of what happened here is told.

al shabaab claimed responsibility for this attack, but cnn has not independently confirmed that responsibility. al shabaab has been described by one u.s. official as al qaeda's largest global affiliate. we know that gunmen affiliated with the group came into the hotel by detonating three explosives at the gate and came into the building and took some hostages, started firing at staff, at guests there, and this went on for hours. i want to show you video from last night. it speaks to the fierce gun battle we have seen here. police told cnn that an elite counterterrorism force was inside the hotel engaging the gunmen. we haven't heard talk about casualties from either side. we'll get to know that, we hear, from the health ministry. but still being -- they're waiting for this to be over because there are people who are unaccounted for, loved ones,

family members waiting outside the hotel for word about their loved ones. some were sent to hospitals around, some hospitals were taking in people in critical condition, some bodies. this is believed to be the largest siege by al shabaab in somalia since they were driven out of the capital mogadishu in 2011. they control large parts of southern and central somalia. but this appears to be a direct message to president mahmoud who was elected a few months ago and promised to neutralize the terrorist group. al shabaab carried out attacks here in somalia, and kenya, and as recently as 2020 they carried out an attack at a u.s. base in northern somalia where three u.s. servicemen were killed and we know the u.s. has been carrying out several air strikes against targeting al shabaab including one last sunday that killed 13 al shabaab fighters. >> all right, thanks so much, larry, in nairobi, kenya. in turkey, at least 34 people have been killed in separate traffic accidents.

we want to warn you the first video is graphic. and it captures the terrifying moment the truck carrying fertilizer lost control and plowed into pedestrians in cars in southeastern turkey. 19 people were killed and 26 others injured. turkey's health minister says the failure of the truck's brakes was to blame. to the east of the first accident, 15 people died when a bus veered off the highway and crashed into an unrelated traffic crash. among the dead were three firemen, two paramedics, two journalists and eight bus passengers. health officials in the u.s. are trying to stop the spread of the monkeypox virus and they're using pride events this weekend to do it. we'll have details ahead. plus, brazil's presidential campaign is heating up and the leading candidates are out in force rallying their supporters. stay with us. for people who are a little intense about hydration. neutrogena® hydro boost lightweight.

affidavit seeking the warrant. the fbi agent seized nearly a dozen sets of sensitive materials at the location including some marked with highest secrecy. the biden administration isn't commenting publicly but some officials are privately expressing concern over how and why trump had them. michael cohen offered his opinion. listen to this. >> i believe donald was going to use it as a get out of jail free card. i think he was going to look to ultimately extort america in order to prevent them from incarcerating him or at least indicting him. you put me in handcuffs, this goes out to china, north korea, it goes out to russia, would he use information to blackmail the country in order to keep him free? absolutely 100%. >> now, the biden administration isn't commenting on the search of donald trump's home in florida. but privately many officials admit they're concerned that top secret documents were seized from the former president. trump claims he issued a

standing order to declassify the materials, but 18 ex-trump officials dispute that any such order was ever given. cnn's arlette saenz has the latest. >> reporter: the white house has largely refrained from weighing in on the fbi's search of mar-a-lago, but cnn has learned that a u.s. official has expressed concern over those classified documents taken by former president donald trump. especially when it comes to what it could mean for the intelligence community moving forward. now, the white house does not have any window into what exactly was contained in that material. but officials are concerned that it could put the sources and methods that the intelligence community uses to gather information at risk. there are also some diplomatic concerns as well. and whether there might be any tensions with allies over some of those documents that were taken by the former president. now, the white house has really adopted this tight-lipped strategy when it comes to

addressing that fbi search, trying to maintain some distance from the justice department's investigation. the white house has said that president biden has not been briefed on the probe, and that they are simply learning of the latest developments as they have emerged through the press. now, meanwhile, the man who served alongside former president donald trump, former vice president mike pence, said he took a different approach to classify documents when he left office. in a recent interview, with the associated press, pence was directly asked whether he retained any classified information when he left the white house. and he responded, quote, no, not to my knowledge. he also declined to weigh in any further on that fbi search and the documents that the president might -- the former president might have taken, saying, quote, i honestly don't want to prejudge it before until we know all the facts. so, so far no further comment from the former vice president as to the way that president

trump handled those documents, but the current white house behind closed doors is expressing concern about how this all played out. arlette saenz, cnn, traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware. nearly six weeks before brazilian voters go to the polls, the two leading candidates held competing rallies on saturday. the current front-runner with the pointed message for the current president who is now back tracking on claims of a rigged election. >> reporter: all leading candidates in the presidential race in brazil chose to campaign this saturday with two front-runners, the former president, luiz inacio lula da silva and jair bolsonaro holding rallies. lula is leading the race by a comfortable margin according to the latest pollsters and shows historic location for his speech this saturday, holding his rally at the site of one of the largest pro democracy rallies

and protests against the brazilian dictatorship in the 1980s. the left wing leader who served two mandates in the early 2000s as the president of brazil and he's now on his sixth presidential campaign was present at that rally, almost 40 years ago. he spoke on saturday, flanked by his current running mate, and former president of brazil, well aware he's the one leading the race. so lula had a warning to his rival. >> translator: get ready, bolsonaro. don't worry about lula. we're not going to to anything to you. who will dismiss you? it is the brazilian people who are tired of your lies. >> reporter: on the other hand, bolsonaro led one of the usual motorcycle parades in the state of rio de janeiro, and he appears to distance himself from recent remarks.

in the latest few weeks he questioned the credibility of the brazilian election system and triggered fears that he might try to overturn the results in these elections, this october. on saturday, bolsonaro struck a different note and said he would p respect freedom and democracy when the results come through. monkeypox has caused officials to declare a local public health emergency in king county, washington. an urgency proclamation signed on friday, officials say it will give them flexibility to respond effectively. the biden administration has declared monkeypox to be a national public health emergency with 14,000 cases confirmed by the cdc. meanwhile, monkeypox vaccines are being made available at pride events in charlotte, north

carolina, as part of a biden administration plan to accelerate distribution of the vaccine. they're providing 50,000 doses at gay rights celebrations around the country. the cdc says more than 41,000 monkeypox cases have been confirmed worldwide. the u.s. has by far the highest number of cases of more than 14,000. next is spain with nearly 6,000. brazil, germany and uk round out the top five. they all have at least 3,000 cases each. meanwhile, polio is spreading in new york state. last month one case was diagnosed in rockland county, just a few weeks later the polio virus was found in waste water in new york city. but the cdc says further testing shows it was in state waste water as early as april. a former cdc official says the situation proves vaccinations are more important than ever. listen to this. >> we are always at risk of new infectious agents or infectious

agents that we thought were in our history of them coming back to our country. and what it says to me as a pediatrician and a parent is it is so important to ensure that our children are vaccinated fully and on time. so that if and when things like polio are reintroduced to our country, our children are safe and protected and there are a lot of children out there who are not fully vaccinated. >> new york health officials say the rockland county case is just the tip of the iceberg. and suspect there are several hundred cases in the community. tropical storm warning has been lifted for parts of south texas, but that doesn't mean the danger is over. we'll get details after the break. plus, july was the second hottest month in mexico in decades, and with extreme heat comes a shortage of water. ahead, efforts to conserve the country's dwindling water supply when we come back. stay with us. instead of using aloe, or baby wipes, or powders, try the cooling, soothing relief or preparation h.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." tropical storm warning has been lifted for southern texas, but rain will still drench the lone star state, and could spread into oklahoma and louisiana through midweek. high winds and flash flooding are also possible. but it is not just those states expecting extreme weather. more than 12 million people across the southwestern and central u.s. are under flood watches n parts of arizona, new mexico and west texas, the risk of flash flooding is high with these areas expecting heavy rain and thunderstorms throughout the

day. in spain, firefighters are battling multiple massive wildfires, the largest has a 74-mile long perimeter. this video was shot near the tourist destination of valencia. thousands of people have already been evacuated, new fires are still popping up. so far at least 11 people have been hurt. no eu country has been hit harder by wildfires this year than spain. more than 700,000 acres have already been scorched. and china is enduring its worst heat wave in 60 years. with no relief in sight. multiple cities have been reporting temperatures above 104 degrees fahrenheit. that's more than 40 degrees celsius. in the yangtze river, water levels have fallen dramatically over the last few months. the drying river has revealed statues thought to be more than 600 years old sitting atop a newly exposed island. and mexico, like so many other places around the world is

in the midst of a devastating heat wave. july was the second hottest month in mexico since 1953 when the high temperatures are coming in amid a severe shortage of water. >> reporter: it had the feel of an outdoor festival or county fair, but this public gathering in northern mexico is a citizens group response to a crisis, a severe drought that has caused extensive water shortages in the state. during a recent day long event, they called water ton, they were collecting bottled water for distribution in neighborhoods where taps have run dry. it is urgent to send truck loads to those communities, this organizer says, adding that their goal was to collect ten metric tons of bottled water for those in need. while this is not the only mexican state facing a severe drought, it is so dry that the

mexican president declared an emergency there late last month as most of the country suffers rain shortages since 2020 and 2021. in an emergency situation, people's needs should be the priority, the president said. his decree means that the government can tap into st industrial and agricultural allotment. the leader of the rejected any suggestion that companies are taking more than their fair share of water. >> translator: there are companies that are not using all their water, but on paper they have the right to use that much water. well, those permits can be transferred so the water utility company can legally take more water from the subsoil to inject it into the drinking water network of the monterey metropolitan area. >> reporter: monterey, one of mexico's most important cities,

is the capital state. the industrial hub of nearly 6 million depends mainly on two rese reservoirs, but its water levels dropped to 0.5% of its capacity of 393 million cubic meters in the last seven years. for residents like ruth gonzalez, the situation means spending several hours every day in a desperate effort to find enough water for her family's daily needs. she says there was no water in her neighborhood, and was afraid she wouldn't be able to find any at the vending machine, which proved to be true for a third day in a row. earlier this month, drought conditions and low levels at a reservoir in central mexico prompted rationing measures in mexico city, the capital, and the adjoining mexico state. at more than 26 million, together they formed the most populated metropolitan area in

the entire country, and one of the largest in the world. rafael romo, cnn. still to come, actor alec baldwin deflects blame for last year's fatal movie set shooting and says the tragedy, quote, has taken years off his life. cnn's one on one interview with baldwin next. and this -- >> thank you for the prayers. >> easton is starting to feel better. >> this 12-year-old little leaguer is making a remarkable recovery after a serious head injury. we'll have the details ahead. please do stay with us. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourishing, prebiotic oat.t. it's clinicalllly proven to moisturize dry skin for 2424 hours. aveeno®

professionally. chloe melas has more. >> reporter: ten months in -- and confusion still persists over the sequence of events that led to a deadly shooting on the set of "rust." this week an fbi report concluded this gun could not be fired without the trigger being pulled while the gun was cocked and eventually malfunctioned after internal parts fractured. in his first interview with cnn, alec baldwin denies pulling the trigger. >> i never once said, never, that the gun went off in my hand automatically. i always said i pulled the hammer back and pulled it back as far as i could. i never took a gun and pointed it at somebody and clicked the -- >> reporter: while rating for the results of the sheriff's investigation, baldwin says he hired his own investigator. >> that private investigator as you probably know did not have a difficult time accessing the staff of the sheriff's department and that person told us, quote, unquote, we have known in the department since january that alec would not be

charged with a crime. >> reporter: a sentiment echoed by his attorney. >> do you think there is a possibility, though, that he could face charges at all? >> it would be a huge miscarriage of justice. >> reporter: but the then president fanned flames against him. >> the former president of the united states said he probably shot her on purpose. to me, what is really the only time i thought that i needed to -- that i was worried about what was going to happen, because here was trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence and he was pointing the finger at me and saying i was responsible for the death. >> reporter: no one has been charged for the tragedy on set, but baldwin said there are two people responsible, armorer hannah gutierrez reed and assistant director dave halls. through their attorneys, they accused baldwin of deflecting blame. but baldwin points to the findings of an occupational safety report. >> hannah reed handed the gun to halls and said don't give it to alec until i get back to the set. i got to do go do something else

and he proceeded to the set and, a, handed me the gun. >> reporter: baldwin said gutierrez reed should have known the difference between dummy rounds which make a rattling sound and live ammunition. >> anybody on earth who works in that business can determine that. >> reporter: baldwin raised questions about the supplier of gun and ammunition for the film, seth kenny, who is being sued by the armorer. >> what was the provenance of all the bullets on the set, where did those come from? >> reporter: according to the fbi report, as far as i'm aware, the bullets were co-mingled. >> right, so if that's the case, then who co-mingled them? did seth kenny provide her with prop ammunition where he co-mingled live rounds with blank rounds? >> reporter: questions baldwin says kept him up at night, as he replayed the final days of a talented friend and cinematographer. >> and she was great at her job. and she died. and she died. and that's -- that hurts me every day. every day of my life i think

about that. it is horrible. >> reporter: in january, the film's armorer hannah gutierrez reed sued the movie's gun and ammunition supplier, accusing seth kenny of selling her a cache of dummy ammunition with live rounds mixed in. now, kenny's attorneys filed an answer last month denying any allegations and asking the court to dismiss the case. but admitting his company was the sole supplier of ammunition to the set. and my wide ranging interview with alec baldwin, he said the last ten months have been tough, especially when it comes to finding work. and that he's been fired from five jobs, just one the other day. but he says he's lean on the support of his family, specifically his wife hilaria baldwin who is expecting their seventh child this fall. back to you. little league world series player is giving thanks as he recovers from severe skull fracture. 12-year-old easton oliverson of utah got hurt while falling from a dormitory bunkbed almost a week ago. despite the injuries, easton surprised doctors when hours

at the center was one of the pioneer great carriers, trans world airlines. >> new ideas, new terminals across the country. >> reporter: twa finally failed in 2001, and the building was abandoned and remained empty for years. that is until the hotel invested tyler morris decided to realize his dream and ambition. >> it is a jewel box. i loved it for decades. it sat dark for 20 years. the opportunity to bring it back to life was a once in a lifetime opportunity. my wife calls this building ou third child. >> reporter: when the flight center opened in 1962, kennedy was still called idlewild. the building was a masterpiece from the great architect. it was designed like a bird. >> we restored it back to exactly as it was in 1962.

so the swooping arch here, this is the largest columnless volume in the world. there is only four points of contact with the ground. it is 65,000 square feet. there is two piers in the back, and two piers in the front. >> reporter: could you economically build something like this today and justify the sheer amount of space that it has taken and the cost of doing it? >> never. not a chance. you could not build this building today. you couldn't get the permits to build this building today. >> reporter: how many times did you think i really want to buy that building? i want to buy that building, before you actually executed and bought it? >> for years. for years. well, i had to win an rfp with the port authority, a request for proposal. so it is a very complex project. i dealt with 22 government agencies, this project. everybody from the faa to secretary of the interior, the port authority of new york and new jersey, the city of new

york, all of the community boards, it is a byzantine project. but this building deserves it. >> reporter: and so began the herculean task of bringing the bird back to life. >> it was like someone turned the lights out, and left their cup of coffee on the desk. >> reporter: still papers from the time? >> sure, oh, yeah. >> reporter: tickets -- >> ticket jackets, we have found the old beer cans from when they constructed the site. there were a lot of people drinking on the job. >> reporter: the hotel's owners even tracked down a plane it had flown for twa, before being bought by drug smugglers. >> welcome. >> reporter: it is bigger than -- it is quite a generous space. >> good size, right? this is first class. >> reporter: and the bunkbeds and all sorts for the really long stuff. >> you had the chateau briand in

these seats and the finest champagne. >> reporter: and yet, they dwindled away. this classic salami slicing, sell off these routes and sell off these routes and refinance this and do this, but you felt there was an inevitability of the demise. >> yeah. i mean, twa was the airline of the pope, both paul vi and john paul ii exclusively felew twa. the beatles flew twa. >> reporter: could twa have survived? >> no, twa would never have survived. after 1978, airline deregulation, you could compete on price, but for 50 years prior to that, people had been competing on service. the way you compete on service is the quality of the food, the quality of the champagne, the

quality of the terminal, and now all of a sudden you had to compete on price, and they couldn't make that cultural mind shift. so everybody went out of business. twa, pan am, everybody went out of business. >> reporter: twa hasn't flown for years. and for those longing for the days of elegance in the air, and friendly service and despair, here, the memories live on. >> that was richard quest reporting. beau gut bugatti has a new s rosters, they're hoping it will be the fastest in horsepower. it was revealed on friday. only 99 will be made for the humble price of $5 million. while they sold out before, they were unveiled. they haven't seen what the
