welcome to all of you watching us here. coming up ahead on the newsroom. new details are expected about the fbi search of donald trump's home. what will be released in the affidavit. what will not be. a powerplant knocking off the power grid. a historic decision in california. state regulators vote to ban the sale of gas powered cars.

why they expect more u.s. states to follow their lead. we are hours away from learning new details about what prompted the fbi search on donald trump's estate. the u.s. federal judge has ordered the justice department to release the affidavit. some crucial information will be kept secret. we could see the search warrant affidavit in redacted form at any moment. that is because the federal judge has ruled the justice department must make public the version they submitted to him on thursday. this is the version that is significantly blacked out. it could reveal some procedural

details. about what happened on august 8. the judge wrote the doj must unseal the version of the affidavit by noon on friday. we saw the judge did agree that they do need to black out substantial portions of the affidavit. since the judge said it could reveal the identity of witnesses. it could even reveal uncharged parties. who may be charged with crimes related to this ongoing criminal investigation into classified information. the judge also said they could black out details related to the sources and methods and grand jury information since we know the grand jury has been hearing evidence for months. they even issued a subpoena to trump. the public will soon see a bit more detail but probably not a lot more about what prompted a federal judge to approve this unprecedented search of his home and resorts.

that will be by noon on friday. we know what the judge says has to be blacked out of the affidavit. what could be left in? >> i can think of a few things. first of all, there will always be some legal boilerplate laying out. more importantly, we could see the doj account of the ongoing negotiation between archives and doj. we have seen some great reporting on that. we know that negotiation went on for a year. this could be a specific account of that. we could get their accounts of what documents they got before the search want. they turned over 15 boxes archives. we do not yet know exactly what was in those boxes. we could find that out as well. donald trump's legal team is also facing a key deadline today.

the judge wants them to better explain why they want a special master to oversee the review of evidence seized in the search. sources are telling cnn people close to trump are starting to question the competency of his legal team. the former president is asking members of his inner circle if they think he will be indicted. there is growing concern. that he could be in real legal trouble. we had known that trump had grilled his attorneys in the past over whether or not they actually thought that he may be indicted. he really approached that with a lot of skepticism. we have not let those conversations have extended to members of his inner circle. asking what they believe the outcome of all of this will be. those allies think trump himself is concerned about a possible indictment. where this is all going. one source telling me that even

though former president trump has been in legal peril before, this time, it seems different. potentially more dangerous. particularly given the fact that he does not have those same legal protections that he had in the executive office. a lot of these allies have started raising red flags. particular about the competence of his legal team. a former tv host of one american news. a pro trump news network, she has become the face of his legal team. a lot pointed to changes where it seems as though she is in overhead. she does not have answers about what the legal strategy is. on top of that, we have heard from a number of allies who are very upset and concerned about the fact that they did not actually file anything for 2 weeks. once they actually did file

something, it was riddled with errors. it had to be clarified by the judge. a lot of concerns here. we are at a time where these allies are concerned he may actually be in legal jeopardy. they say unsettling affidavits even a redacted one is almost unheard of. former press secretary tells cnn that people close to trump are starting to get very worried about where this investigation may be headed. he is going to just want to the redacted portions and say what are they hiding. he is going to use it to play victim even more. probably fun raise off of it a bit more. i do think they will be scouring to try to figure out what they have and who they have been talking to. i know from people i have been talking to, that remains the

number 1 issue. who is talking. >> i am sure deep down he is nervous. he is going to use whatever he can to double and triple down like he always does. right now, seems to be playing the victim. i'm sure he is nervous about whatever pieces of information will come out. the media coverage. it has not been good for him. he kind of had a meltdown on his social media network. you can tell he is getting very nervous. i think that is something to think about. the midterm elections a little more than two months away. he is leveling some of us sharpest attacks yet. in short, he is accusing them of embracing semi fascism. at a rally thursday night, he laid out a list of hot button issues that will drive democrats to the polls on november 8. we will ban on

assault weapons. we will protect social security and medicare. we will pass universal pregame. we will restore the child care tax credit. we will make sure no one ever has the opportunity to still the election again. they were at the events and filed this report. there is no question they believe the portions have shifted. they do not necessarily believe they can forestall losing seats. they very clearly feel like they have something to run on. a message that is resonating. we have seen in special elections. those were all issues that president joe biden and his first real campaign rally sought to highlight. making very clear what they have believe they have done.

what they believe republicans would do. they rarely mentioned. also repeatedly going after congressional republicans. probably the most fiery language we have heard on several fronts.>> at 2020. 81 million americans voted to save our democracy. that is why donald trump is not just a former president, he is a defeated former president. you need to vote to literally save democracy again. will remove forward or backwards? will we build a future? will we obsess over the past? the extreme republicans have made their choice. to go backwards. full of violence and hate.

we have chosen a different path. forward. the future. optimism. >> he was out in maryland. this is not exactly battleground or red country but it was an opportunity for him to get his feet wet. very much a campaign phil. overflow rooms. he went and saw everybody. he made clear the delegation made a democrats has his support. the real question going forward, can the white house maintain some of the momentum and will have a real effect in november. democrats and republicans alike. the first midterm. it never goes well. democrats now think they have a shot to buck that trend. resident joe biden made history this week by announcing plans to forgive student loan debt. there are still lots of

unanswered questions. when they will start to see that relief and how the country plans to pay for. our white house press secretary spoke with cnn earlier about how much it may cost.>> it is going to be about $24 billion per year. just to give you a little bit of context. that is about three percent of what we spent on the military. that is just a tiny fraction. if you hear what the wall street folks said, they said this today. it will have a minor effect. a minor effect on this plan on what we are seeing currently.>> the estimated 43 million americans are expected to receive at least some relief on the loan forgiveness plan. a 6 1/2 hours to go. the start of a new trading day on wall street. he was where they stand right now. all slightly down.

meanwhile trading across europe is getting underway this hour. all markets are up. here is a look at how markets have fared today. they are all mixed. the eyes of the financial world will be on jacksonville wyoming. as federal reserve chairman is said to speak at the annual summit gathering about one hour after the opening bell on wall street. it is expected he will offer some guidance on where in fish rates will be headed. there are new concerns about the safety at the nuclear plants. the risk the facility faces after being removed and the power grid. stay with us. - custom shirts help people feel like they're part of a team. my name is timothy chi,

fears of a potential nuclear incident are growing again and europe's largest nuclear plant. they say all six reactors at the plant are still disconnected from the country's power grid. it has been cut off after fires damaged powerlines. they have been trading blame over outages at the facility which has been held by russian forces. while it is still not connected to the grid, power has been restored to the plants. in his power to cool its reactors. he says his government is not taking any chances. i want to assure all ukrainians, we are doing everything to prevent an emergency scenario. it depends not only on our states. international pressure is

needed. to immediately withdraw from the territory. other international organizations must act much faster than now. every minute staying at the nuclear plant is a risk of global radiation disaster. it is raising concerns that they may be trying to divert electricity to occupy parts of ukraine. the watchdog has also been pushing for its inspectors to go to the plant. they are optimistic it may happen soon. i think now there is general recognition. we need to be there soon. moscow accepts it. we need to go. we are going to be there hopefully very soon. >> days or weeks?>> meanwhile, the car bomb killing is raising

diplomatic tensions. ukraine has summoned the diplomatic representative this morning. that is after pope francis described him as being among the innocent people who pay for the war. they say it equates the aggressor and the victim. obviously the situation. a first for any nuclear plant. no other such facility has ever been called up in fighting during active war. we are joined from london. we heard a stark warning from the president of ukraine about how close we are to disaster.>> normally, these power plants would be providing power to the region. it still needs our from the ukrainian grid in order to call its reactors to keep the ventilation system going. you would have format connections providing electricity to the plant.

fighting early on took out three of those. essentially you're left with one single connection to the electrical section. because of the fire which you can actually see on satellite images recently taken, because of this fire, you had power cut to the plants. you had to go and rely on these backup diesel generators yesterday. ukrainians and russians blame each other for the source of that actual power cuts. ahead of the nuclear power operator, they're actually trying intentionally to cut the plant off from the electrical grid. not to cause any type of an accident but because they want to take the plant off the ukrainian system and connected to the rushing grid. in order to do that you would have to shut it down completely. during that transitional period you would have to rely on those backup diesel generators. he says that is the really

risky time. those diesel generators. they require fuel. they are not meant to run for long periods of time. as i mentioned yesterday, you had the power cut to the plant for the very first time. he says the world really needs to understand what the risk is.>> if the diesel generators had not turned on, the automation had not reacted after the blackout, then we would already be forced to overcome the consequences of a radiation accident. they have put ukraine and all europeans in a situation one step away from a radiation disaster.>> the power issue is not the only threat to the plants. you have workers also telling cnn that staff are leaving by the dozens. not just because of danger in the area. also because the ukrainians say

three plant workers have been killed. dozens have been arrested. on top of all of that, you also have russian military trucks inside of that facility. they believe they contain explosive material. expert said the risk here is really twofold. you can have a issue in the reactors themselves which are housed in containment buildings which is meant to withstand the force of even accidental plane crash. could they withstand the force of a missile strike? the other risk right there in the open. that is the cooling pulls for those nuclear fuel. they really have no protection at all. it is just unbelievable. thank you so much. another american politician is visiting taiwan and codifying to beijing. u.s. republican senator met with taiwan's president reassuring her of american

support.>> we look forward to continuing to help and support taiwan as they push forward as independent nation.>> they do not represent the biden administration. the comments did not change the one china policy which recognizes taiwan as part of china. despite increasing pressure to stop such by u.s. officials. several high-profile visits including speaker of the house nancy pelosi have angered the chinese government. more electric vehicles will be hitting the roads. we will talk about california's bold plan to phase out gas to guzzlers. they are coursing through part of the capital. stay with us. ayment. we thoughd planned carefully for ourghd retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. if you have $100,000 or more of life

by 2535, on the vehicles sold in south california must be zero omission. they want to reduce dangerous pollutants. they unanimously approved the band thursday. it is the first of its kind nationwide. our reporter has the details.>> simply put. given the size of the economy. this will have a major impact on the u.s. car market. here, nearly 2 million new vehicles are sold each year. it is why this is such a big deal. today's vote was years in the making and could encourage even more people to consider buying

a electric vehicle. here is what the expert had to say about the decision.>> this is a historic moment. by having a clear fixed target when we stop selling gas and diesel vehicles, we will be making a really important dent in our need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. >> this will not happen overnight. they have drafted up some benchmarks they hope the state will meet. by the year 2026, the hope is for 35 percent of new vehicles to be zero emission. those target numbers then go up each year until 2035. back to you. the chair of the california air resources board. she is with us from sacramento. thank you so much for being here with us. california's the country's biggest car market. the fifth biggest in the world. what effect will this have on

the country and maybe around the world?>> we see this as a huge opportunity to be world leaders. in california, we set standards. 17 other states. the states in california together are 40 percent of the vehicle market. that will have a huge impact on the plans for automakers to transition to zero emission vehicles. >> the automakers say they agreed they want to get more electric cars on the market. some of the challenges to getting their are out of their control. things like inflation. labor. the availability of critical minerals. how valid are their concerns?>> this is the transition that is going to take some time. we have already gotten underway

in terms of providing infrastructure support throughout the state of california. we have spent over $3 billion on infrastructure deployment for zero emission vehicles. we are optimistic. as the supply chain issues worked their way through. and automakers are able to increase the number of vehicles. the cost of these vehicles will reach parity with internal combustion engine vehicles very soon. they will be very attractive to purchases because they have a lower total cost. the fuel cost less than gas. the repair cost is less as well. it has been a long road getting to this point. there may still be more bumps ahead. they had rolled back your

states ability to make this move. it was later reinstated. now the attorney general for many republican states have sued to revoke california's ability to set these new standards. how seriously do you see this legal challenge or potential challenge from a future republican president.>> california had clear authority to set the standard for decades. we are so pleased to be able to partner with the biden administration to ensure we retain that authority. we will vigorously defend that authority.>> the head of the equity program in california. when they say folks with lower incomes may not be able to make that transition because of the higher prices. if they manufacture more, the price will drop. new tax breaks that have just

been announced. at least for the foreseeable future, they will be more expensive. they may not have the same access to the same charging infrastructure. if you're worried about those who may be left behind?>> we think it is really important to prioritize all communities in california and lift up those underserved communities. we are absolutely partnering with other state and local agencies to ensure the infrastructure is being rolled out in underserved communities. were also orienting our individual incentives we provide in the state of california. to assist him in purchasing vehicles. we want to make sure it is the secondary market. only about 30 percent of car buyers purchase a new car. we want to ensure with our battery durability and

requirements to disclose the state of health batteries. that is part of our regulatory structure we adopted today. we want to ensure there is a robust secondary market.>> finally, as i talked about. there is other countries looking at this. certainly others have made similar types of promises. they have not enacted the same regulations. how do you think this will affect other countries in terms of their legislation sparking similar things?>> it is really important to have it. we are really pleased to take this. we are hopeful that other jurisdictions will be able to do the same. use some of the strategies we are deploying in this regulation. in terms of milestones and its marks. really supporting the work as i mentioned with incentives for

both purchasing vehicles and infrastructure. all of those are important to make that zero omission.>> we will have to leave it there. we really appreciate your time. thank you so much. the capital mississippi is dealing with the delude. nearly 8 and half inches of rain has fallen on jackson. they are east of the city. he received even more. this is the rainiest august on record. they have called for voluntary evacuation. our meteorologist has been tracking the dampers. what is the latest?>> we have seen what the sheer power of mother nature can do with these floodwaters. all week we have been reporting on that. floodwaters can literally tear apart roadways and bridges. we know it can disguise some of the potholes and roads. that is why they talk about

turnaround and do not drowned if you are encountering flooded roadways. so many hidden dangers. there is still the threat of flash flooding although it has been reduced. we no longer have that moderate risk of flash flooding today. through this morning, that is 7 am local standard time. 8 am eastern standard time. that would put this area that has been hardest hit under a slight risk of additional flooding for the day today. here is the pearl river. they were just talking about that. this is forecast to actually crest through the weekend and into the early part of next week. roughly into major flood stage at about 36 feet. that is a problem considering this should allow for water to inundate some of the roadways within downtown jackson as well. authorities urging people to get sandbags in preparation.

there are voluntary evacuations for some of those locations. you can see the flood warnings. basically tracking along some those larger river basis. this area has had a delusion of rain since sunday. some areas reporting almost 1 foot of rain. what is in store? another additional 1 to 2 inches of rain. coming out of jackson mississippi calling for some the slow-moving thunderstorms. in a matter of 3 hours. that could lead to flash flooding. we will keep an eye on that. thank you so much. coming up here, parents of the children killed in the school shooting get some measure of accountability. will it be enough? we will have the story after the break. for that one-of-a-kind whoa...

a federal judge has ruled a texas law barring under the age of 21 is unconstitutional. the trump appointed judge said the law was inconsistent with the constitution because the second amendment has no age restriction. it does not prohibit gun restrictions. it is on hold for 30 days to give the state time to appeal. the rolling comes one day after

the your body texas school board fired the school districts embattled police chief. many in the community have criticized his handling of the mass shootings earlier this year. our reporter has more. this is a step in the right direction. there is a lot more things that need to happen. >> it is a moment of accountability they have been waiting for. many say it is not enough. the school board voted unanimously wednesday night to terminate the employment. the school district police chief criticized for his role in the response to the mass shooting.>> we will continue our fight.>> many are also calling for the school board. the superintendent and the entire school district police department to be replaced. all in their eyes partially responsible for failing to

prevent the deaths of 19 students and two teachers three months ago.>> you are not going to sweep this under the rug. number 1. school administration. right there. >> before yesterday's meeting, the lawyer released the statement with a request it be read aloud. calling the proceedings unconstitutional public lynching and saying they will not attend the board meeting over safety concerns.>> for him to not be here and face the consequences to his actions.>> he has said he did not consider himself in charge. during the may 24 shooting. state officials identified him as the on scene commander. the gunman was in to my classrooms for more than one hour before officers entered and killed him. that time marked with chaos as no one took command.>> at one

point trying to communicate with the shooter. contradicting law enforcement to eliminate the threat. family is now receiving some accountability for that delay.>> today expect to be in a small community and say he is going to protect and serve? that is ridiculous. >> despite the firing of the former chief, they will continue to fight for transparency and for accountability. there are still so many investigations that are being conducted at the local police department. to the texas state troopers. the department of public safety and the district attorney. all conducting investigation. there are still many details we do not know. in the months to come, we will only learn much more.

that will have a certain reaction from the community and family members. texas is sending thousands of migrants on buses to cities like new york and washington dc. while it may be a relief for them to be safe, many wonder at the cities can keep up.

many weeks now, texas governor greg abbott has been putting thousands of migrant on buses and sending them to washington dc and new york city as a protest of the

administrations immigration policy. they told cnn that the relocation efforts are wreaking havoc on the processing system. it is problematic when a official works not in collaboration with us but unilaterally. that lack of coordination reeks problems in our very efficient processing. it also puts pressure on us that we find the nonprofit organization. we understand their capacity. when that action is not coordinated with us and with them, the whole system is out of whack.>> for the thousands of people on those buses headed for new york and washington, the trip is the end of a growing go deal and the beginning of a whole new life.>> you would not know it as they strolled through brooklyn. this family got here.

navigating the concrete jungle that is their home today. it tells in comparison to the central american jungle they survived the summer. the young venezuelan couple documented their two month journey that took the family of five through 10 countries. they carried only a few belongings on their backs. occasionally there six and 9- year-old as well. linking south and central america. at times they even swallow their pop like a baby this nick them on buses and into hotels fearing they would be separated. the blood sweat and countless tears were what that for this moment. the day they waited across the rio grande. onto u.s. soil for the first time officially requesting asylum. it was onto a bus and a three

day drive to new york city where they wait for their asylum cases to be heard. they explained the family came to the u.s. not for handout but to work. she is one of over 7000 asylum- seekers that have turned to the city for shelter since may alone. to a system that was already overwhelmed by homeless new yorkers. long before the governors of texas and arizona use the families to make a political point.>> there were not prepared to meet the need and capacity.>> the attorney says she saw this coming. organization assures the city adheres to its right to shelter law which requires anyone eligible and in need to be offered a bed.>> there have been so much focus. it ignores the reality that we

have had mass homelessness for a long time.>> according to new yorkers we met, there is a desire for new york city to embrace the latest wave of masses. as it has always done. >> i think it will be great.>> there is also a call to fix pre- existing issues. >> i think the city has always been kind of a beacon to people who arrived here from other places. there is a lot of things that need to be fixed here. there is a lot of work that needs to be done. >> a immigrant himself, he says he understands those concerns. even as public schools alone expect an additional 1000 migrant students this fall. >> are they in a position where they're able to welcome thousands that have arrived and thousands more that will come here.>> we are constantly improving. we are adding capacity.

we continue to open hotels to be used as shelters. we are contracting with community-based organizations to add additional services. so yes we continue to improve. >> they cannot come soon enough for the family back in brooklyn. there is a sense of frustration in the voice as he tells me he is pleading with city and federal immigration officials to speed up the process of securing work permits. at 27, this young father knows the sooner he can provide for his family here, the sooner he will not have to rely on the overburdened shelter system. that wraps up this hour of the newsroom. they pick up our coverage after this quick break. some people have minor joint pain, plus high blood pressure. and since pain relievers may affect blood pressure,
