hello to our viewers in the

united states and all around the world. i'm anna coren, live from hong kong. ahead from cnn newsroom, several mass shootings bar independent celebrations across the u.s.. witnesses mistake gunshots for fireworks. israel pulls its troops out of the west bank town of jenin. and now, the conflict moves to gaza. and japan's neighbors raise concerns after international regulators gave the greenlight to release tons of radioactive water of the fukushima nuclear power plant. the u.s. is reeling from multiple mass shootings that rattled cities across the country of the holiday weekend. several shootings have occurred in the past few days including tragic events in maryland, texas and pennsylvania.

the july 4th holiday and the day after account for more mass shootings than any other days of the year. well that's according to a cnn analysis of data from the gun violence archives. in indianapolis, a 16-year-old girl was killed in a shooting during a block party. police say that so far there is little information to go on. >> unfortunately there was over 100 plus people here, yet the only two witnesses we have are the two security guards that were on the scene and they did not see any of the shooting going on. but there were 100 plus people that saw what was going out, no one has come forward to let us know anything. >> cnn's ed lavandera has more on the recent violence. police say a 40-year-old moved through a philadelphia neighborhood, shooting randomly at people monday night. >> the suspect, while wearing body armor, a ski mask and

holding a air 15 assault rifle was observed in several locations. the suspect then began shooting aimlessly that occupied vehicles and individuals on the street as they walked. none of the victims engaged the suspect aware where that the suspect was going to inflict this act of violence upon them. >> the shooter has not been identified, and investigators say it will be arraigned on wednesday and face murder charges. the attack spent several neighborhood blocks. philadelphia authorities expressed outrage with the senseless violence on the eve of the fourth of july holiday. >> this country needs to re-examine its confidence and find a hug to get guns out of dangerous people's hands. >> hundreds of people took over horned street in southwest forth worth for an impromptu and chaotic fourth of july street party that turned deadly. mike via said he heard 30 to 40 shots fired as he ran from the scene to take cover. >> everybody was right here and there was just popping fireworks doing --

and there was a lot of gunfire that started ringing out. and everybody started running everywhere. >> fourth worth police say three people were killed and eight others wounded in the shooting after several unknown men started firing indiscriminately into the crowd. no arrests have been made, and it's not clear what caused the shooting to start. >> we don't know if this is domestic-related, if it's getting related. it's too early to tell at this point. we just know somebody shot multiple times and a bunch of people were injured in reference to that. >> a year after a fourth of july mass shooting in the chicago suburb of highland park last year, the community returned. the city sponsored a walk to reclaim the space where a gunman killed seven parade watchers and wounded nearly 50 others. >> nobody wanted a parade. it wasn't appropriate. but it was important for us to say that evil doesn't win and this is our parade route and this is our community that we

are taking back. >> back on horn street, families return to enjoy the neighborhood fourth of july parade. the rock cut through the very spot where the deadly shooting kicked off this national holiday. and they watched balloons release into the skies, honoring monday night's victims. >> what really stands out when you look at the mass shootings across the country in the last few days is the number of young people impacted by this gun violence. here, in fourth worth, an 18 year old with dreams of joining the u.s. air force was killed. in philadelphia, two year old twin boys were wounded and in indianapolis a 16-year-old girl was killed at a block party. for victims families and survivors, the shootings inflict scars that will last a lifetime. ed lavandera, cnn, fort worth, texas. u.s. president joe biden addressed the weekends violent statement on tuesday saying,

quote, today dylan i grieve for those who have lost their lives. and as our nation celebrates independence day, we pray for the day when our communities will be free from gun violence. it is within our power to once again ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. to require safe storage of guns, to end gun manufacturers community from liability and to an act to universal background checks. well the u.s. presidential hopeful ron desantis received a mixed welcome during a campaign event in new hampshire where the first republican primary will be held next year. he walked in a fourth of july parade surrounded by supporters and campaign signs. some along the parade road cheered him on while others yelled go home. protesters shouting messages supporting the lgbtq community which desantis has frequently targeted as florida's governor. he's generations got to step up

and be a custodian of freedom and i think right now is our generations time to do that because our freedom has been under assault in this country by the biden and by the bureaucracy. but also with work for america, the education system. all of these things. >> the first republican caucuses will take place in iowa or former vice president, mike pence, made a big push this independence day. notably we see from any campaign appearance was his former boss, gop front runner, donald trump. cnn's guillaume le is with pence on the campaign trail in the hawkeye state. it is all in on iowa, and that is abundantly clear as we are watching former vice president mike pence campaign through iowa. his campaign says that it is this all 99 county visiting each one, shaking as many hands as possible, hitting the coffee shops, hitting the pizza cafes. this is where they believe that

the former vice president shines. and you certainly saw it as he was walking a fourth of july parade in urbandale, iowa. it was a two mile parade route that, at many points, the former vice president burst into a jog shaking hands with this many people as possible trying to sell this idea of a conservative future that he sees as a blueprint for america. and then he came up here to rural boone iowa. where he talked about energy. a conservative supreme court and a future that he believes will work in a general election as well as this first nation caucus state. notably, not here is his former running mate and president donald trump who chose to not be in iowa. something that mr. pence pointed out in talking with reporters. >> i can't account for what other campaigns decided but for me it was violent work. to be here where the journey for the white house always begins.

good to spend two miles, at times, jogging uphill. and to take our case in the people of iowa. and i promise you we're going to keep running that hard -- >> if the strategy the campaign says that for now they will absolutely not deviate from. meanwhile the other candidates like ron desantis chose to spend their fourth of july in new hampshire. can, lost to detain, -- ron brownstein is cnn's political analyst and the senior -- gop presidential nominees took part in the fourth of july parade for a long time tradition. and yet the front runner was nowhere to be seen. what do you make of that? well first of the fourth of july parade in new hampshire, the year before, the compensations is for the entire month of january trading through the snow and slush. so i don't see any candidate overtime when it's over 30 degrees in new hampshire.

donald trump is a commanding front runner at this point. there's a lot of front runners blanking on the dashboard about his liability as a potential candidate after the use of indictments that he's faced. and civil judgments that he has faced. but within the republican party, his position is about as strong today as we have seen any front runner in either party six months before the voting began. so he does not have the same incentives as the other candidates. he needs to do just enough so the republican voters don't feel as though they are neglecting them but he doesn't want to give the candidates more opportunity to give a shot at him more than he absolutely needs to. >> ron, fourth of july is supposed to be a day of national unity and yet you've written on cnn about an america more divided than ever. voters no longer see the other party as a political enemy. do you see this open hostility as something here to stay?

>> yes, look, i think that we are living through the most difficult period, for the fundamentals of the country. and really, since the decades before the civil war. we've obviously had periods in which different parts of the country are moving in very different directions. the sleeve and free state before the civil war, the states with and without segregation's for most of the 20th century but now we're looking at conflicts that basically divide the country almost in half. where you have the red states moving in a radically different direction than blue states on a whole range of issues relating to civil rights, civil liberties, voting to lgbtq rights and class man ship and book bans. and as you noted, we have this very striking trend where roughly half of the people who voted for biden and half of the people who voted for trump say that they view the other party not as a political opponent but as a enemy whose victory would

threaten their very conception of america. so there are a lot of forces built into the system. plus you have in trump, really, i think the first national leader who was seen to be in his interest to accentuate those divides, even to the point of threatening to undermine democracy, if that's what it takes to advance in his polls. and you add it all up and this is a very fraught different america. it may get better at some point but i think it's more likely that we're going to see the tensions increase before the moderate over the next few years. >> ron i also want to read this quick to our viewers. you also said behind almost all of these individual challenges is the same larger force, a mounting tension between those who welcome the demographic and cultural changes reshaping 21st century america. and those who fear or resent those changes. now as you point out after 2040 people of color in america will

be the majority of the population and yet there is a large part of the u.s. with trump very much at the helm of this that wants to turn back the time. >> look i don't think future historians are going to have much trouble understanding why trump emerged as such a magical figure. we are living through a profound demographic changes. already a majority of our under 18 population are kids of color. as of last, year a majority of our high school graduation kids are kids of color. white christians who are a majority of the american population for most of our history are now down to 42%. more of jim cnn people in america do not identify with any organized religion that identifies white christians, one fifth of them identify as somewhere on the lgbtq spectrum. we are seeing profound cultural demographic changes reinforced by changes in the structure of the economy and transition from the industrial information age.

and i first wrote in 2012, and i think it was true since trump emerged that the fundamental frontline in our politics is between those who welcome and those who fear all of these changes. i call it the coalition of transformation, the democrats rely on and the coalition of restoration. that republicans rely on as you certainly see in the early stages of the primaries that those are the issues that animate the republican base. i'm not talking about the reagan area -- cutting taxes, less regulations, they're talking about transgender kids and weather transgender girls can play high school sports and what books should be banned. the animating course, the glue that holds together each coalition i believe at this point is their attitude on the underlying cultural graphic. and that is another reason why our politics has evolved. those are very difficult issues to find compromise on. there are those who argue that the american public is a less polarized in the politicians and that might be true.

but there is no question that we are not organized in any ways around essential grievance, a substantial distinction about our attitudes towards change. and as long as that is true we're gonna have a very good texas politics. >> >> we can only hope one day people can found common ground. ron brownstein, great to have you. thank you for your analysis. a joy the fireworks tonight. >> happy fourth, thank you. >> now to the middle east of where israel said all of its forces have now withdrawn from janine in the west bank and that its military operation there is over but the violence in the region has still spread beyond gym to gaza and tel aviv. israeli forces say they've been conducting strikes in the gaza strip for the past four hours after rockets were fired towards israeli territories. they say all five of those rockets were intercepted. the idf said it strikes target weapon -- for the palestinian military groups, hamas.

israelis military operation began two days ago since the largest in that city in more than two decades. and in the meantime hamas said it's responded to that operation, claiming responsibility for a car ramming and stabbing an attack in tel aviv which left at least eight people injured. israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu said the attacks cannot break the resolve to fight terrorism. >> translator: whoever thinks such an attack would deter us against our fight against terrorist is wrong. they simply do not know the spirit of the state of israel. we will continue as long as necessary to rule out terrorism. we will not allow journey to return to being a city of refuge for terror. >> cnn's hadas gold has been following the developments and has more from tel aviv. a car ramming attack on the streets of tel aviv, the attacker shot by unarmed

civilian. militant group hamas taking credit for the attack. calling it a response to israel's military raid in the occupied west bank city of jenin. the largest incursion into the west bank's in the days in the second of intifada more than 20 years ago. israel said, its aim is to dismantle the hornets nest that has become a militant overnight targeting underground tunnels used to store explosive devices and -- >> we were forced to mainly on dismantling terrorists in fractures and handling the seizing guns that are in this camp. >> scenes of destruction's us boulders ripping up rose to disable i.d.s. damaged cars and homes. inside the camp streets are empty. thousands of residents evacuating their homes overnight. international aid groups accused israeli forces of blocking access to medical care in janine. and firing tear gas near

hospitals, the idf refuting those claims saying ambulances have a free pass. palestinian officials condemning the raid calling it a new war crime and saying they will dispense contract with israel. a general strike in solidarity with jean has been called to the west bank and east jerusalem. meanwhile, palestinian military groups calling for action to strike israel by all available means. >> as night fell on tuesday, israeli forces began withdrawing from janine. as the cycle of violence goes on. hadas gold cnn tel aviv. still ahead los angeles officials investigate the use of force by to share the duties. a shocking video of one man arrested another video of a woman being thrown to the ground. plus massachusetts found a woman trapped in mud who had been missing for a week. details on her rescue and how she managed to survive. baby, only on game nights. you know you are retired right?

welcome back you're watching cnn newsroom. a suspicious powder found inside the white house is being sent four for their novices after initial tests said it was possibly cocaine. cnn's jeremy diamond has the details. while the secret service set a powdery substance was discovered at the white house on wednesday evening, it prompted an evacuation of the white house complex, a hazmat team with the city of washington d.c. came in and deemed the substance nonhazardous, foot two sources familiar with the matter say

that that powdery substance tested positive for cocaine. now that was done via a field test that was sometimes inconclusive. and it has been sent out for further testing and evaluation. now secret service books man anthony guglielmi said that the powdery substance was found in a work space within the west wing. president biden, for his part, he was not at the white house when this took place. and now we should note that on the weekends here at the white house there are often tour groups that go through the west wing of the white house so it's certainly possible that that is how that baggy of cocaine should be confirmed, made it way into the wing. but as the, said it is conducting a service into the matter to determine exactly how that substance made its way on to the white house grounds. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen is growing the groundwork for upcoming trip to beijing. meeting with china's ambassador

in washington. yellen will have a busy agenda as she tries to rebuild contacts and relationships between both governments. she will meet with china's new economic leadership and is expected to bring up human rights and death trap issues. yellen's trip is happening a little more than two weeks after u.s. secretary of state, anthony blinken made a similar fence mending visit to beijing where he met with chinese president xi jinping. relations between china and the u.s. reached their lowest points in years recently because of china's deepening ties with russia. as well as the spy balloon that was shot down over u.s. waters earlier this year. in southwest china, some incredible video of a dramatic water rescue, you see a couple sticking out of the sun roof of a car which is submerged by rising floodwaters. cctv reports the complicated rescue effort took about the hours and the couple was finally pulled to safety using a rope and a crane.

they are certainly lucky. a woman who had been missing for a week in massachusetts has been found alive, some hiker say that they heard her screaming for help on monday. and that she was stuck in mug at the state park a half miles south of boston. they couldn't reach her so they called 9-1-1. rescuers say they had to weigh through a thick swamp to get to. >> it's nerve-racking because there could be a lot going some cardio going on, and it's kind of nerve-racking so you go in there with your best intentions, to make sure she's okay. the job we like to help people so it's gratifying that we helped somebody out. >> police say the 31-year-old was taken to the hospital for observation and that her injuries were serious but not life-threatening. and a number of u.s. cities have tied or broke their daily high temperature records, including many across the pacific north west. that trend is expected to

continue over the next 48 hours. cnn meteorologist chad myers has the forecasts. >> another hot and bumpy one across the united states for your wednesday. storms are a little bit left in the northeast, a little bit more in the southeast and then the severe weather into parts of the southern plains right through parts of kansas, oklahoma even into parts of military and that's where the biggest threat of hail and lightning and the gusty winds that could cause some damage. that's where most of the weather will be. so i'll take you hour by hour and move your head all the way to where we will be especially by the afternoon things are going to get hot and the storms are going to begin to bubble and it will be -- some of that could also be rotating to severe weather. the forecast rainfall, kind of spreads itself out and we don't really see these isolated, very very concentrated areas of rainfall that could cause significant flooding, let it spread out for the most part.

that got here towards the west and temperatures are beginning to come down in some spots. and phoenix you're still gonna be hot for a few more days but if you take a look at death valley, in vegas, at least by friday you are back to normal. and all the normal is still 104 degrees it is still going to be back to that number, not where you have been. still another couple hot days across the pacific northwest, and across the south so obviously the monkeys are still here. temperatures in the 90s will feel closer to 100 by the afternoon when you add that heat index in the mix. >> chad myers there, while climate activists in spain are making their voices heard by going after golf courses. the group extension rebellion plug the polls on ten courses around the country and they're protesting the amount of water used to maintain the greens while europe is experiencing a severe drought. the group posted a video of their actions on twitter. some fill the holes with cement while others planted ceilings. the group called golf adobe to

more than 1 million metric tons of treated radioactive waste water, that's what japan wants to dump into the sea, from decimated fukushima nuclear power plant. and on tuesday, international new color regulators say that they think that that's okay. but not everyone agrees. cnn's marc stewart is in tokyo for us and, mark, we know that the head of the international atomic energy agency will head to fukushima today for a tour of the plant. will he be able to allay concerns within japan and the region? >> well that is the challenge ana, and this visit isn't really that much of a surprise. it's part of this larger scripted symbolic effort to convince japanese citizens, japan neighbors and really the

rest of the world that this water release is safe and that it is the right thing to do. i was at the plant in april and i know you have been there before and these days, it very much is reminiscent of a water treatment facility. and that's what's taking place there. this wastewater that has been used to cool the plant over the years has been treated, it has been diluted. and even though there are some remnants of radioactive isotopes known as tritium it is still very much in a line with international standards that permit this kind of release. but obviously there are still skeptics. within japan and a much broader scale including from china. it's an issue that was brought up just in the last day or so at a ministry of foreign affairs briefing. take a listen to a spokesperson speaking from beijing. >> the report cannot green light the discharge as it cannot prove that it's the only option for the safe this and most reliable option.

china urges japan to have a responsible attitude for the whole humanity in the future generations. stop pushing through the discharge plan. >> there are other alternatives such as bring these tanks of water, but this, scientifically speaking from a broader perspective as they go through the most solid choice. the international atomic agency will be setting up in august, in fukushima to monitor this release. and by the way, and, that this is not going to be just a one-time event, this is going to take years to complete the a tunnel that will basically move the water from the plant in fukushima into the pacific ocean. >> it's extraordinary that it's come to this but as we spoke to an expert in the last hour, mark, they said that this was the best decision of the options. marc stewart. we certainly appreciate you
