1:00 am
i'm christina mack farland here in the london studio. we have that story and much more ahead. the battle will be handed over in what has turned out to be a relay race. i campaigned as a conservative, and i will govern as a conservative. prosecutors and investigators have to stop reviewing these documents. >> it's a win for donald trump. it's a speed bump more than a brick wall for doj however. we have entered the most intense wave of the heat wave. >> you may think you're in a safe area, but you're not. so please evacuate. it's tuesday, september 6th,
1:01 am
4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast and 9:00 a.m. here in london where a new leader is set to takeover today. liz truss ready to take over as prime minister. just a short while ago, outgoing prime minister boris johnson urged the entire country to get behind truss. he delivered some final remarks as prime minister outside 10 downing street. on the subject of bouncing around in future careers, let me say that i am now like one of those booster rockets that is fulfilled its function and i will now be gently reentering the atmosphere and i will be splashing down in some remote and obscure corner of the pacific. and i am returning to my plan.
1:02 am
and i will be offering this government nothing but the most fervent support. truss will be facing a number of major challenges she needs the support she can get, promising a plan to cut taxes, build growth and tackle the energy crisis. we'll get more details when she's appointed prime minister, heads back to london and gives her outline of what she hopes to achieve from her premiership. watching boris johnson earlier on, what did you make of his legacy, as he saw it, and also what we can expect from liz truss later on? >> reporter: the message from boris johnson was like before, what he viewed to be his achievements in office, getting brexit done, a key catchphrase he coined. presiding over the vaccine
1:03 am
rollout over the course of the covid-19 pandemic and, of course, the early supply of weapons from the british government to ukraine. he thanked his supporters, colleagues at 10 downing street and government. but also laid out those challenges as you mentioned that liz truss is set to face as she enters as the new prime minister. there was no mention of the numerous scandals that essentially brought down the prime minister, namely the party gate scandal, the weeks and weeks that the prime minister took part in the social gatherings that he denied and allegations within the conservative party itself. there was no mention of that, but there are other serious challenges that the government will continue to face and has faced over the course of boris johnson premiership. the key issue that the government has been charged to deal with now, is the rising cost of living prices and the
1:04 am
soaring energy prices that are placing a burden on people up and down the country. that was something he mentioned in his farewell speech. take a listen. >> this is a tough time for the economy. this is a tough time for families up and down the country. we can and we will get through it and we will come out stronger the other side. but i say to my fellow conservatives, it's time for politics to be over, folks. it's time for all of us to get behind liz truss and her team and program and deliver for the people of this country. >> there you heard from the prime minister, urging the conservative party, urging people to get behind liz truss but it's important to note, liz truss has been appointed the leader of the conservative party and the new prime minister by a very small portion of the british electorate. she was appointed and elected by
1:05 am
conservative members but is less than 1% of the british electorate. i have to say a slim percent. that is something that particularly the labor party leader will be picking up on. the question is whether or not she has the mandate to lead. we heard from her yesterday in her victory speech suggesting she wouldn't be calling an early election. she said she'd drive forward with the conservative party's key agenda heading towards the 2024 general election. she comes into 10 downing street at a time of crisis for the government. there's a lot to deal with and piling up as she enters the doors of number 10 this afternoon. the question is whether she will be successful. she said she will deliver a brand new plan to deal with the economic crisis. as we heard yesterday in her victory speech she did pledge to deliver, deliver, deliver. the question, whether she'll be
1:06 am
successful. there will be immense challenges ahead for her. she will be appointing cabinet members. and the key is overcoming the dis disunity we've seen, the infighting over the leadership campaign. and there are still bitter divisions within the conservative party itself and of course there's the ongoing war in ukraine. she's familiar with that as foreign secretary. but the question is whether she'll be able to take on the new leadership position of the party and drive home that success that the prime minister was key to outline if his speech today. max. >> thank you. we'll go to the outskirts of london. this is liz truss' private jet that's going to take her up to scotland. this is quite unusual. normally we'd describe how liz truss is traveling to buckingham
1:07 am
palace to be appointed by the queen. the queen is unable to move around, she's currently on holiday in her scottish castle so this jet is going to take liz truss to scotland, she'll be appointed prime minister by the queen, the queen will be her boss. at the age of 19, liz truss was a campaigner to get rid of the monarchy and get the queen fired. liz truss is now an e vowed mon archist. that's one of the complaints of liz truss, she changes her mind. >> i know you'll keep an eye on us as the flight makes its way north. here back in london we're
1:08 am
following the mar-a-lago investigation. donald trump is getting the so-called special master he wanted. a federal judge appointed by trump ruled in his favor on monday. that means the u.s. justice department and team trump have until friday to present a list of candidates to carry out the review of the evidence seized from mar-a-lago. sarah murray has the details. >> reporter: a judge granting donald trump's request for a special master to review the materials the fbi seized at mar-a-lago. because of trump's role as a former president, a future indictment based any degree on property that ought to be returned would result in reputational harm. in a major victory for trump a third party attorney will be tasked with sifting through thousands of documents to identify personal items and materials that could be protected by attorney/client or
1:09 am
executive privilege. >> while it does slow it down which is bad for doj and their case. i think at the end of the day we'll not see a lot of documents pulled by the special master. >> some of the materials include tax and accounting information. the ruling halting the justice department's criminal review of the mar-a-lago haul. >> i don't think it has a massive impact on the investigation in the long run. if i was the prosecutor i'd say let's trudge forward with the special master get through it as quickly as possible. >> reporter: even as the judge acknowledged there was not any evidence of a callus disregard of trump's rights. arguing he may not be allowed to have property returned. trump speaking at his first rally since the fbi searched his resort last month. >> they rifled through the first lady's closets, drawers and everything else.
1:10 am
and even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son. the fbi and the justice department have become vicious monsters, controlled by radical left scoundrels. >> reporter: the former president slamming law enforcement as high ranking republicans offered reasons why trump may be hoarding classified information. >> i personally wouldn't do that but i'm not the president of the united states. >> reporter: and allies like south carolina senator lindsey graham. >> i try to state the obvious. >> reporter: still cleaning up his comments warning of riots in the street. >> we had a standard set when it came to hillary clinton. if he does what she did, and he gets prosecuted and she didn't, it will create a problem. >> reporter: when it comes to the special master the justice department asked her to rule in such a way she can appeal her decision down the road. the justice department is
1:11 am
examinerining her ruling and deciding on the next steps. it's not thought that a special master will help trump in a long run. >> while it's a win for trump, it's a procedural win. it does not prevent the doj from charging, not charging, gaining a conviction, not gachbing a conviction. the number of documents filtered out will be small when this is done. the judge will say doj you cannot look at these documents for now. it doesn't mean the doj has to stop the investigation, they can talk to witnesses and do other things. but the judge was careful to say, odni you can do your damage assessment as necessary. so she did her best to appease as many parties as possible here. >> i'm not sure the doj should appeal.
1:12 am
you can say the judge is doing doj a favor. this special master is likely to affirm a lot of what doj decided to do in terms of attorney/client privilege. it may bolster faith and acceptance of the original search. and if the main task here, object, was to get the documents back, having the special master here, maybe it's enough of a pause. the attorney general needs to consider, whether if you're going to go after president trump for a federal crime, is it mishandling documents? i think they want to investigate president trump for january 6th. they're still conducting an investigation. that's worthy of an indictment of a former president. i'm not sure indicting him for mishandling classified information is enough to justify going after a former president. a special master may give you
1:13 am
enough time to realize that and make this go away. >> coverage will resume on this issue nec hour on "early start." joe biden is back at the white house, after a day of campaigning for democrats ahead of the november midterm elections. mr. biden is making it clear he wants the voters to make a choice between his leadership and the extremism of donald trump and his supporters. >> i want to be very clear up front. not every republican is a maga republican. not every republican embraces that extreme ideology. i know because i've worked with main stream republicans my whole career. but together, we can and we must choose a different path forward. >> president biden visited the
1:14 am
battleground states of wisconsin and pennsylvania on monday touting his wins and economic accomplishments. more now from jeff zeleny. >> reporter: president biden kicking off the fall election season with two labor day rallies in wisconsin and pennsylvania, the two states that democrats have their eyes on trying to win back republican seats in the u.s. senate. president biden was clearly making a direct appeal to independent voters and democrats and others trying to draw a sharp contrast with republicans. he was also touting his accomplishments on the economy and other achievements but talked about why he believes p president trump and the maga republicans, as he called them, are bad for the country. >> one of the things clear to me, this new group, headed by the former president, the former defeated president, we found ourselves in a situation where we really look forwards or backwards. and it's clear which way he wants to look.
1:15 am
it's clear which way the new maga republicans are. they're extreme. and democracy is at stake. >> reporter: president biden monitoring his tone there from calling out trump supporters. he's not trying to reach them, they are true believers in the trump brand. but he's looking to reach out to voters who are open to supporting some democrats. so that's the challenge, the president's political party faces headwinds but believe they have advantages largely because president trump is back center stage turning off so many voters on the middle and left. so nine weeks before the midterm elections, the president trying to rally democrats, his agenda the rest of his term depends upon it. jeff zeleny, cnn west miff lin, pennsylvania. the search for a missing teacher in memphis, tennessee

an attack that killed 10 and wounded 18. police in memphis, tennessee have not found a body near the sight where a teacher was abducted. they've been searching for liza fletcher since friday and have arrested a suspect but they're saying so far the cause of death is unconfirmed and the cause of death is ongoing. gary tuchman is on the scene. >> reporter: memphis police told us monday night they have discovered a, quote, deceased party about three blocks away from us in a south memphis neighborhood of the city. you can see behind us there are scores of police officers, police cars, helicopters flying above us. but we must emphasize there is no confirmation whatsoever that eliza flech fletcher is the bod. there's a likely possibility it is because of the turnout but it's important to emphasize it's not been confirmed at this
1:22 am
point. eliza was kidnapped about 20 minutes from here when she was jogging on a path near the university of memphis friday morning in the dark. the man who allegedly kidnapped her has been arrested and is being held right now. police told us he wasn't talking so they had to keep searching for this 34-year-old woman who had been missing. police officers tell us they received a tip, came in this neighborhood, were looking for hours and now have found a dead person. i don't know when we will find out any confirmation, but either way, it's very sad news. this has been a very sad and traumatic story, feel so sorry for this family and for so many people in memphis who love this very distinguished family and philanthropic family. this is gary tuchman, cnn, in memphis, tennessee. california is bracing for more power outages amid record
1:23 am
setting heat. the state's grid operator is calling for energy conservation for the seventh straight day. at least two people have died and a third person is injured in a wildfire. thousands of homes are under evacuation orders. firefighters say it's important to heed the warnings. >> the area that they were in, that's an area that's a one way in, one way out area, and that -- it's a very dangerous canyon, a lot of overgrowth in that area. i haven't seen fire burn in that area for probably over 30 years now. if you're in the evacuation order area that we put out, please adhere to that evacuation order. what we've seen in the last ten years the way fire has been moving people will say i'm in a safe area. we've seen whole communities burn down just like this one along the foothills where he
1:24 am
want -- he met is. >> the local school district cancelled classes today as a precaution. so far the fire has destroyed about 2,000 acres. it is 5% contained. more than 50 million people are under flood watches across 7 states including rhode island where marain shutdown major roadways. california is getting hit so hard, any relief in sight? >> there will be relief tonight through sunday. but the flood watch remains in effect from boston to washington. over 55 million people impacted. a steady stream of showers and a couple of rumbles of thunder are on the radar. but mostly steady rain on top of grounds saturated from rains picked up on monday. we may have another 2 to 4 inches of rain around d.c.,
1:25 am
new york and the providence area. that could exacerbate the flooding situation. out west, a different day, same weather. more temperatures, over 100 degrees, heat advisories from montana to northern nevada and excessive heat warnings for central california and southern california and nevada as well. death valley could break the all-time record for september if they get over 124 today. but you see, palm springs, bakersfield, sacramento, salt lake city, baking in the heat. exacerbated by climate change. the next couple days we could be in the hottest stretch of the heat wave with over 150 locations expected to tie or break records. what about relief? there is a hurricane south of baja california, hurricane kay. i just dialled up our model and it's indicating we could see
1:26 am
some of that rain arriving perhaps by next sunday or maybe on into monday. so there is a little glimmer of hope. i tell you, folks out west are dealing with the heat and folks in the east are dealing with the rain. >> a glimmer of hope, hurricane perhaps not the relief california was hoping for. elsewhere lake levels continue to rise in pakistan putting cities at risk of even more flooding. more than 1,300 people have died, 1,400 of them children. savannah george reports now from one of the hardest hit areas. >> reporter: you can see behind me the fields that have been most recently flooded here. these fields were flooded when the pakistani government made the decision to breach a lake upstream from here. that move displaced tens of
1:27 am
thousands of people and flooded hundreds of more villages downstream. but we're hearing that water levels in the lake are continuing to rise. and that may force the pakistani government to make another breach of the lake's retaining wall. that would only add to the growing humanitarian crisis now. we're just south of some of the worst hit villages further north from here. these are villages still under water. we visited families at some of these villages, and they told us they don't want to leave their homes because they know even if they reach dry land there will not be shelter for them and there won't be aid. these floods have been going on for weeks, for months, since june. but the pakistani government only declared a state of national emergency a few weeks ago and then began appealing for outside aid. so there's growing anger here among pakistanis that the
1:28 am
government has acted too slow. and even those rescued from the flooded waters are not receiving the humanitarian assistance they need once on land. >> if you would like to help, head over to cnn.com/impact. still to come, the last working reactor is shutdown at europe's largest nuclear plant due to fire and shelling. first, outgoing british prime minister boris johnson shares his thoughts before leaving 10 downing street for the last time. >> through that lacquered door, a new prime minister will shortly go to meet a fantastic group of public servrvants. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more rerestful sleep per night. don't miss our labor day weekend special. save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bebe. ends labor day. hi. i'm wolfgang puck when i started my online store wolfgang puck home

welcome back to cnn "newsroom," i'm christina macfarland if you're just joining us let me bring you up to date. a federal judge has granted donald trump's request for a special master to handle the documents found at the former u.s. president's mar-a-lago home in florida. the justice department and donald trump's legal team have until friday to nominate candidates. a record setting heat wave is stretching california's power grid to breaking point and fuelling deadly fires across the state. two people have been killed in california's fairview fire. more on those stories on "early start" in about 20 minutes time. for now back to max foster on the uk prime minister as we await liz truss' trip north to meet the queen. >> reporter: the plane is on the
1:33 am
runway on the outskirts of london, boris johnson is on his way en route to scotland. so boris johnson will go to the castle, meet the queen, tender his resignation and then liz truss will go in afterwards and be appointed prime minister. boris johnson is no longer prime minister and have to make his own way back. we don't know how he's getting back but he won't be able to use any of the government vehicles anymore. we'll wait to see what happens there. in the meantime, he's encouraging the entire conservative party to get behind liz truss because after the election campaigns there is divisiveness that shows itself and conservative party really need to be brought together if it's going to deal with the upcoming economic crisis. his comments coming just a short time ago from downing street where he got up early for the last time in that house and gave a few words.
1:34 am
>> i will deliver on the energy crisis dealing with people's energy bills and also dealing with the long-term issues we have on energy supply. >> reporter: so that was liz truss speaking, that was yesterday when she won the leadership contest. so we heard from boris johnson this morning. a new poll just released found that six out of ten people in britain said the country's new prime minister should call a general election before the end of the year it was done before liz truss was named as party leader. it's not personal but doesn't speak to the idea she doesn't have a mandate from the british people to have that position only the tens of thousands of people who voted in the conservative party election. one of them was craig hoi, a member of the scottish conservatives. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having us.
1:35 am
>> reporter: this is the first time a queen has appointed a new prime minister in this way, it's always been done in london. explain what liz truss was see. >> it's normally done half a mile up the road in downing street now they had to go to scotland where i'm from. compare and contrast the serenity you'll see. i think this is the calm before the storm as it were for the new prime minister. but i think she will have that ceremony with the queen where she will formally -- >> the kissing of hands. >> reporter: they don't formally kiss hands but she will become prime minister and return to downing street this afternoon where she will speak on the steps of downing street and prepare her new career. >> in the early part of her career she was campaigning to get rid of the monarchy and get
1:36 am
the queen fired. she's moved on from that. >> she has. we all do things in our youth that we move on from. she's definitely a conservative and setting an optimistic vision to take the country forward, scotland and the rest of the uk forward. something myself and colleagues look forward to doing. >> a vision with precious little detail. her argument being she shouldn't outline the detail until she's prime minister. but we get a chance to see how she's going to interpret these big ideas. >> i think she'll set her vision and values and on thursday this week we can see a package of measures, an ambitious package of measures to deal with the biggest challenge if her premiership which is the global cost of living crisis. i hope she'll come forward with a bold package that addresses the concerns of the scottish people and british people. >> describe what she's like. she's a complete unknown to a
1:37 am
lot of people, which may play to her advantage when people are looking for a fresh start as well. >> i think the qualities i've seen, she's been foreign secretary, involved in trade negotiations around the world, for example, the removal of u.s. scotch whiskey tariffs, a deal with japan. i think thousand is her opportunity to bring our party together to look forward to tackling the big issues and also setting out a new and fresh case for the union here. obviously the s&p and seeking to divide -- >> the scottish national party. >> yes. and we want to see the scottish government engagement on the living crisis. and also hoping to stand firm on scotland remaining in the united kingdom. >> your party stands for keeping the union together, keeping scotland attached to england.
1:38 am
>> yes. >> during the campaign, liz truss talked about nicholas is it your -- sturgeon, the leader of that campaign saying the best attitude to her would be ignore her. so she's committed to the cause. how easy is it going to be to hold the nationalists down. >> if you look at the snp's records, the feeling of schools, hospitals, roads, railways, productivity and the economy, we want to focus on those issues but nicholas sturgeon and the snp are pushing to divide scotland and the united kingdom. but i think we'll put out a positive vision for scotland and the united kingdom and show how the pandemic and the vaccine program it proved we're stronger better than ever. >> she'll say something about that in her speech surely. >> i would fully expect her to
1:39 am
address it. >> we'll see after she met the queen, is back here in london and gives her first speech. right now back to you in the st studio chrissy. we're following other big stories this hour, ukraine being one of them. ukraine's president is blaming russia for fire caused by shelling near the nuclear power plant in zaporizhzhia. the plant's last working reactor was disconnected from the grid. this comes after a visit from the national energy agency. melissa bell is joining us with more. we know they're due to release a report soon from their findings from the visit. what more are we learning about this disconnected reactor? >> it's not so much the disconnected reactor, that happened last week when the ia inspectors arrived there were two functioning reactors, number
1:40 am
five had to be disconnected because of the shelling. that's happened again. most worrying is the energy supply situation around the plant that's been affected by the shelling in recent days. there were four external power supplies to this plant before the war, one had been functioning until monday -- until saturday, sorry, it was the one last reserve line that connected the zaporizhzhia power plant to a thermal power plant that had been allowing electricity energy to leave the plant and head towards ukraine's electricity grid and electricity to arrive at the grid to allow for cooling systems to operate function. that was severed monday as well, we're hearing it was switched off on purpose to protect it. the fact is it still has not been re-established. the electricity, the cooling systems within the plant are simply powered by that last remaining reactor and that's of
1:41 am
extreme concern. we're hearing from president zelenskyy last night in his evening address who laid blame for this squarely at the feet of russian forces. >> >> shelling the territory means the terrorist state does not care what the iaea says, russia is interested only in the fact that the situation would remain the worst and as long as possible. >> reporter: we should have more from the u.n. watchdog itself not only the report due to be published as a result of the visit but also more from rafael gracci himself. >> we'll keep an eye out for that. still to come, the u.s. defense secretary claims russia hasn't made any headway so far. what it could mean for moscow's military future later this hour.

welcome back. the israeli military admits a journalist may have been killed by israeli fire. the israeli defense forces say there's a high possibility shireen abu akleh was accidentally shot that the soldiers were not aware they were firing at journalists. we're joined from tel aviv with more. we know it took four months to release this report. just talk us through the findings here and the chance of any further action. >> reporter: they have said they under took a lengthy investigation and they could not determine who fired the fatal shot that killed the al jazeera correspondent shireen abu akleh, partly because the bullet that killed her was so damaged it's
1:46 am
inconclusive. they came to the same conclusion that cnn, other media organizations and the united states came to, it was most likely an israeli soldier that killed the shot that killed shireen abu akleh while she was covering that military operation in the may. according to the israeli military they believe it was a soldier in an armored military vehicle with limited sight range south of where shireen abu akleh was standing when he shot at her he thought he was shooting at palestinian militants didn't see them as journalists, despite the fact they were wearing the protective gear that say press on the front and back. when we asked about our own investigation that showed there was no militants in shireen abu akleh's vicinity, they told me they determined there were militants maybe not one meter beside her but the area north of here. an official telling reporters that the soldier is regretful and adds this was not supposed to happen, he did not do this on
1:47 am
