viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world, i'm rosemary church. and this is cnn newsroom. just ahead, mass shooting in america, independence day celebrations in the u.s. marred by gun violence leaving multiple people dead. from the campaign trail to the parade routes, republican presidential hopefuls look for votes and showed this patriotic pride on independence day. and after a deadly military operation, israel pulls its troops out of jenin while the violent spread beyond the west bank. thank you for joining us, we begin here in the united states for cities across the country are dealing with the fallout from mass shootings over the

holiday weekend. indianapolis police are investigating the death of a 16-year-old girl who was killed in a shooting during her block party late monday evening. through the south, and texas the -- adonai no neighborhood gathering in fort worth. police there are still unsure what motivated the violence. and in philadelphia, authorities say a shooter killed five people at random on monday. the city's mayor expressed his anger over the gun violence. >> >> and i'm frustrated an outrage that mass shootings like this continue to happen in communities across the united states. the country needs to examine how to get guns out of dangerous people's hands. we're begging congress to protect lives and to do something about america's gun problem. >> u.s. president, joe, biden addressed the weekends violence in a statement on tuesday saying and quoting today jill and 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 on high capacity magazines to require safe storage of guns to end gun manufacturer's immunity from liability and turn up to universal background checks. well, the fourth of july was no holiday for some of the republican presidential candidates, former vice president mike pence walked two miles in a fourth of july parade in the state of iowa. and florida governor ron desantis marched through the rain and tour event in new hampshire. the first republican caucuses will take place in iowa where pence made a big push this independence day. but notably missing from any campaign appearance was his former boss, gop front runner donald trump. cnn's kyung lah is with pence

in the hawkeye state. it is all in on iowa and that is abundantly clear as we are watching former vice president mike pence campaigning 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. kyung lah, cnn, boone iowa. >> it rained on the fourth of july festivities but it didn't dampen the spirits of everyone who came out to support not

just the country and general patriotism but also some of the gop candidates who were here very much on the campaign trail. among, them florida governor ron desantis flew his super pac or i should say the pro desantis super pac never back down, their spokesperson even acknowledged that they feel that they are way behind in the polling of this uphill battle. the not one, they say it is unwinnable. and that is part of why he hit the stroll hard. meeting a lot of people along what was to parade routes across new hampshire over fourth of july shaking hands and doing some of that on the ground presents that, again, could help make some inroads into what has been a shadow over the gop field. and what i mean by that is the significant lead that polling has shown former president trump to have over the rest of the field. recent cnn polling shows that republican and republican leading voters, 47% recorded

that the next closest desantis is double digits away. and that is also why we saw not just desantis, but south carolina senator skin -- doug burnham and former texas government were out and about to try and close some of that gap as we of course approach the first debates in august. but the more significant one as we approach the first primary dates. and at the end of the day, what is more american than campaigning for the president on the fourth of july? >> omar jimenez, cnn -- >> joining me now is a professor of political science at loyola maremount university. it's also the author of numerous books including the modern presidency six debates that defined the institution. good to have you with us as always. >> thank you rosemary. >> so gop candidates took advantage of the fourth of july holiday, participating in parade and pressing the flesh with americans out celebrating

the day. but no signs of donald trump as we countdown to the gop primary. is that a sign that he thinks he has this all shown up. >> you're, right he was conspicuous for his actions. we expect the candidate to be out there on the fourth of july. and people in iowa and new hampshire expect to meet and talk with each of the candidates. and that was unusual and you have to remember it's not 2016 it's not 2020 and donald trump is older, he's more tired, he doesn't have his mojo. i think he lost his mojo. and so i think it's a function of two major factors. one, the indictments or the ones that have already taken place are the ones that look like there in the pipeline must have taken great toll on him. the second thing, as we have to remember he 77. and like joe biden, the senior citizens like myself we get more tired. we don't have the energy. we don't have the vigor. and i think those two factors

are making donald trump look like he's lost a little bit of his mojo. >> interesting, and florida governor and presidential hopeful rhonda scent is of course represents the biggest threat to trump so he was out and about in new hampshire for the july 4th holiday trying to convince republican voters to pick him over the former president a day after his campaign released that at targeting trump's supporters of the lgbtq community. many critics, even those within the republican party called that at homophobic and unacceptable. how might this impact desantis's chances going forward do you think? and what was his strategy here? >> the problem for desantis is he trying to out-trump trump. you just don't out trump trump. donald trump is an attack dog, he is great added, he's experienced at it and you are asking desantis to play on the same playing field. and he just can't do it.

he ought to choose a different strategy. you can't beat trump two point, oh it's just not working for him. and so for desantis's strategy to of trump trump has fired. and for all the other candidates and the other candidates in the republican primary, their problem is that all of the single digits candidate are waiting to see what happens to trump. well this campaign implode? will they get more indictment? well his campaign collapse? will his face turn on him. if that doesn't happen, they'll continue to be single digit candidates. but the thing to remember is that since 1980, the republican primary and caucuses in iowa and new hampshire, the front runner has always lost one of those two races. and so that gives me all the other presents an opening, a hall, a sense of which if trump crumbles maybe i'll be in the top two or three. so there is hope.

but time is fading fast for the single digit candidates. >> yes, i did want to talk to you about that because mike pence, tim scott and some of the other gop presidential hopefuls were also taking advantage of the july 4th crowd trying to convince american voters to back them over trump. but some of these candidates phone even make it to the debate stage next month, will they. some as you pointed out garnering single digit support so what is their endgame here apart from waiting to see what happened to trump? are they after the vp spot? >> there are a variety of reasons why people run for the presidency. one is to hopefully be president. but there are other problems and other opportunities that you have to remember. one is the bit to run for vice president but the other is to gain name recognition for the next case in 2024. and also to develop a padre of donors that are national.

a governor may have a lot of strength in this state. we won a national campaign if you're going to be one of the bigger players in the fishbowl. and so you develop a campaign staff. you develop a rolling index, as we used to call it of donors. and you get a little bit of recognition, not necessarily for 2024 but beyond. >> we'll be watching of course, michael genovese, thanks so much for joining us. appreciated. >> thank you rosemary. >> and still ahead, israel and its intense military operation in janine but the cycle of violence has not entered. we will have the latest from the region. try bounce, it's the sheet. less statatic. less wrinkles. more softness. more freshness. bounce. it's t the sheet.

israel says all of its forces have now withdrawn from janine in the west bank. its military operation there is over. the violence in the region has still spread beyond shunning to gaza and tel aviv. israeli forces say they have been conducting strikes in the gaza strip for the past few hours after rockets were fired toward israeli territory. they say all five of those rockets were intercepted and the idf says it's strikes targeted weapon production sites for the palestinian militant group, hamas. israel's military operation in even began two days ago and it was's largest in that city it

more than two decades. in the meantime, hamas says it has responded to that operation, claiming responsibility for a car ramming and stabbing attack in tel aviv on tuesday, which left at least eight people injured. israeli prime minister, jen benjamin netanyahu, says the attack cannot break israel's resolve to fight terrorism. >> whoever thinks that such an attack will deter us from continuing to fight against terrorism against wrong. simply do not know the spirit of the state of israel. we will continue as long as necessary to root out terrorism. we will not allow janine to return to being a city of refuge for terror. >> cnn's hadas gold has been following the developments and has more now from tel aviv. >> a car attack on the streets of tel aviv. the attacker shot by an armed 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 since the days of the second intifada, more than 20 years ago. israel says, its aim is to dismantle the hornets nest jenin has become for militants. overnight, targeting underground tunnels used to store explosive devices and--. >> we were focused mainly on dismantling terrorist infrastructure and handling and seizing guns that are in this camp. >> scenes of destruction, bulldozers ripping up roads to disable ieds. 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 jenin. firing tear gas near hospitals. the idf refusing those claims, saying ambulances have a free pass.

palestinian officials condemning the riot, calling it a war crime and saying they will suspend contact with israel. a general strike in solidarity with jenin has been cold in the west bank and east jerusalem. meanwhile, palestinian military groups calling for action to destroy israel by all available means. as night fell on tuesday, israeli forces began withdrawing from jenin. as the cycle of violence goes on. had, mas cultura, tel aviv. >> cnn's nada bashir is tracking developments for us. she joins us live from london. good morning to you, not a. israel's operation in jenin has ended. the violence continues. what is the latest? >> look, rosemary, as we've seen, time and time again, the situation can change very, very quickly. we've heard from israeli defense forces saying that operation is now over. they say they have achieved and succeeded in achieving all of their goals. mainly to target terrorist infrastructure. according to the israel defense

forces, and of course, we heard they reserve the right to return, should they receive any intelligence that should warrant yet another incursion. of course, as you mentioned early, we've seen that exchange of rocket fire. the idea continues to conduct strikes in the gaza strip, this according to the idea in response to rocket fire from gaza targeting israeli territory. all those rockets were intercepted. as you saw there and hadas's reporting, this is some of the worst violence -- this is the largest incursion in the janine refugee camp has seen in two decades. second antifa in the early 2000s. we're talking about a refugee camp that houses some 17,000 palestinian refugees, deeply impoverished area, less than a quarter of a square kilometer in size. we have seen real violence there over the last few days. alarm bells being run by the u.n. and other aid groups over the scale and severity, in the

words of the u.n., of the injuries that have been sustained by civilians and the civilian death toll, at least a dozen people were killed. including three children, according to unicef. there is still a real concern over the situation on the ground. we saw thousands, according to local officials, of palestinian refugees fleeing their homes and it's the cross fire that we saw in jenin over the last two days. it will, potentially, be returning as they attempt to go home after the operation. one of the returning to? we've heard from the authorities and we've heard from married groups reporting limited access to water, to electricity, internet services. we've seen infrastructural damage on a significant scale. of course, the threat of a further escalation of violence continues to loom over the janine refugee camp. rosemary? >> cnn's nada bashir joining us live from london with that report. appreciate it. >> coming up, russian president, vladimir putin, wants the world

vladimir putin is putting on a show of power and strength, telling his allies he is fully in charge of the situation in russia and in ukraine. the russian president addressed a burst tool summit hosted by india's prime minister. in putin's first appearance on the world stage since the rebellion by the wagner mercenary group, he thanked nations like belarus, iran and china ever offering solidarity during the crisis. all of that as russian forces target civilian infrastructure in ukraine. in the kharkiv region leaving dozens of people wounded on tuesday. a shelling attack on the city of kherson killed two people. meanwhile, ukrainian officials say russia is using all of its forces to stop ukraine's progress around the city of bakhmut. the fighting along the eastern

and southern front lines is fierce and slow going. ukraine insists it has the upperhand. let's turn to cnn's scott mclain now. he joins us live from london. good morning to, you've got. but more are you learning about the fighting on the front lines? and of course, attacks on ukraine? >> rosemary, getting more information on that missile strike in the town of pervomaiskyi, 60 kilometers or so from the city of kharkiv. the 60 kilometers south. frankly, nowhere near the front lines. this is a town that has been hit before since the war began. the ukrainians say there are no military facilities here. they insist it is only civilian. we are also learning, according to the chief of a ukrainian special forces unit that when that missile came down yesterday, people were gathering for a funeral service for a fallen ukrainian soldier. it hit a house around 800 meters away. so, that is why we are seeing

no one killed, but a large number of people injured. 43 people were injured at last count. according to ukrainian prosecutor generals office. youngest among them, just three months old. there is also a ten month old baby that was injured by shrapnel, take to the hospital into intensive care. their condition has stabilized and there was apartment buildings that were damaged. that is obviously the least of their worries at the stage in the game. on the russian occupied side at the front lines, authorities in donetsk city say that they sustained ukrainian shelling on the city yesterday. 24 ukrainian shells actually landed, killing two people. some 25 people injured among them, according to authorities, a two-year-old little girl and a seven year old boy. this is not the first time that donetsk city has been hit. in fact, it has been a regular target over the course of the. what is worth noting in the intensity of those strikes seems to have picked up in the last few weeks or months as a

so-called counteroffensive has begun. this is a city that is very well fortified. it has been firmly under russian occupation since 2014. more broadly speaking, across the front lines, rosemary, the ukrainians say, look, they are making bits and pieces of progress, especially on the outer bits of bakhmut, that highly contested city. beyond that, they say, the russians are really dug in. frankly, they are struggling to actually move the frontlines forward. >> thanks to scott mclain joining us live from london. joining me now is daniel treason, a professor of political science at ucla. he's also the author of the return, russia's journey from gorbachev to medvedev. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> so, during vladimir putin's first international appearance since his authority was severely tested by the short-lived wagner mutiny, the russian president addressed the virtual summit meeting of the

shanghai cooperation organization hosted by india and putin's main goal was to convince all participants that russia is stable now and he is fully control of the country. did he achieve that? >> i think he did but he could. he gave a speech, which very clearly signals that things were back to normal. yes, there was a little turbulence in the last week with the wagner mutiny. now, things are back to normal. he is in charge and i think at the same time, he was trying to signal to people in russia that russia was far from being isolated. it was respected by some of the leading world powers, china, and india. and his reputation remains extremely high, although, of course, russia is under attack from the west, his version of

events. >> professor, because this event was virtual and not in percent, putin missed out on the added bonus, of course, of photo opportunities. it is hard to measure his relationship with the other leaders. specifically with china's president, xi jinping. what were the overall optics in terms of signs as a greater or less unity with leaders of china, russia, and india? >> well, of course, every leader has its own agenda. it differs slightly. china and russia, xi and putin, they both are committed to showing themselves as leaders. they can resist the u.s.. and they're working towards a multi cold world where the u.s. will not be as dominant. xi and putin were very much aligned on that.

still, of course, putin has his own agenda, which is very focused on the war in ukraine, making that go as well as possible and dealing with a vents that have cost the russian war effort some question. i think the main achievement for putin here was that the relationship with she was not visibly difference. china, he can say to russia viewers, china continues to back russia in its battle against ukraine. all the way this -- it's an unlimited partnership, she has said, but there are some limits to what china is willing to do with ukraine. >> behind the scenes, how

concerned would china be at this juncture with its current relationship with russia's president? not only because of the attempted mutiny, but also putin's long, protracted war in ukraine that appears to be achieving very little for something that was only supposed to take just a few days. >> i think she is very concerned that russia not lose. he feels it is very important to maintain this multi polarity. a big defeat for russia would enhance the unity and confidence of the west and could make difficulties for china. i think he is very eager to see putin survive this. if not score dramatic victory in ukraine, at least maintain his position and come out of

its reasonably secure. but there isn't very much that china can do, given that it is not ready, at this point at least, to provide serious weapons to russia. even if it did, it's not just a matter of weapons, it's also a matter of military service, troops on the ground again it's a very difficult war for russia to win at this point. >> professor, thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> and we will be right back. so today let's stain, with behr, the #1 ratated stain. anand make your deck, yours. behr. exclususively at the home dep. scout is protected by simparica trio, and he's in it to win it. simparica trio is the first and only chew with triple protection.

power plant. on tuesday, international nuclear regulator said, they think it's okay. not everyone agrees. cnn's marc stewart is in tokyo for as. he joins us now live. mark, what are some of those critics saying about japan's plans to release this waste water into the ocean? >> hi, rosemary, this skepticism is coming from within japan. it is coming from our neighbors here in asia pacific region, also on a much larger global scale. the real question is, is this wastewater that has been treated -- is it safe to be released? the government of japan certainly think so. tokyo power, that is the owner of the plant, certainly think so. as well as the international atomic agency. the atomic agency here in japan, taking it to the facility, typified some global reassurance about the safety of

all of this. i was in the plant back in april, i went on a tour. basically, this is a water treatment facility than a nuclear plant. this water has been diluted. it has been filtered. even though there are some remnants of radioactive isotopes known as tritium still in the water, if you look at the global safety level sport, it is in compliance. in fact, other nuclear plants around the world discharge water of similar levels of tritium. there is this international agreement that this is safe and is the prudent thing to do. still, there are critics this includes the chinese government. it is a topic that came up at a discussion as a recent ministry foreign affairs in beijing. take a listen. >> the report cannot greenlight the discharge as it cannot prove that ocean discharge is the only option or the safeties and most reliable option. china, once again, urges japan 's who have a responsible

attitude for her future generations. stop pushing through the discharge plan. >> because this is so high-profile, because there are so many concerns, rosemary, the international atomic agency is going to be setting up in fukushima to monitor the release of this water that the supposed take place sometime this summer. >> better be 100 percent sure. marc stewart joining us live from tokyo. many thanks. and thank you for joining us. and rosemary church. for international viewers, world sport is next. for viewers here in the united states and in canada, i will be back with more cnn newsroom in just a moment. hi, i'm jill and i've lost 56 pounds on golo. hi, i'm barry and i've lost 42 pounds. jill and i are a team. if she tells me to do mething,
