hello and a warm welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm bianca nobilo. >> and i'm max foster. just ahead -- >> on what was supposed to be a beautiful summer evening, this armed and armored individual r wreaked havoc. >> the man who did this will face multiple counts of murder. >> this is a significant victory for the states that are suing the biden administration. >> a federal reserve judge has just blocked the biden administration from meeting with the heads of social media companies. >> there is no place we'd rather be than in iowa. >> each generation has to step up and be a custodian of freedom. i think it is our generation's time to do that. >> live from london, this is

"cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is wednesday, july 5. 4:00 a.m. in philadelphia where the suspect who police believe shot and killed five people at random will appear in court and face multiple murder charges in the coming hours. >> police have yet to reveal a motive, but believe the suspect referred to with they/them pronouns acted alone with monday's shooting. >> the suspect while wearing body armor, ski mask and holding an ar-15 assault rifle was observed at several locations near chester avenue and springfield avenue. the suspect then began shooting aimlessly at occupied vehicles and individuals on the street as they walked. none of the victims engaged the suspect or were aware the suspect was going to inflict this act of violence upon them. >> philadelphia's district attorney expects a judge will deny bail for the suspect who also faces multiple counts of aggravated assaults a first

degree felony and weapons charges as well. he says the coming trial will be vigorous. >> phase one for us was really to try to support all the adversely affected. phase two is the beginning of a vigorous criminal prosecution of a truly atrocious, horrific act. it will either be prosecuted by this office or possibly by the feds. if so, they will have our complete cooperation. >> police have identified those killed in the philadelphia shooting. victims range from 15 to 59 years old. the city's mayor and district attorney are expressing their anger and calling for change to gun control laws with a pointed message at officials supporting the use of automatic weapons. >> frustrated that mass shootings like this continue to happen in communities across the united states. this country needs to reexamine its conscious and find out how

to get guns out of dangerous people's hands. we're begging congress to protect lives and do something about america's gun problem. >> it is disgust the lack of proper gun legislation that we have in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. i cannot agree more heartedly with the mayor. it is disgusting that you can go to new jersey and find a whole list of reasonable gun regulation that we don't have that you can go to delaware and there is almost as long a list of reasonable gun legislation that we don't have. some of that legislation might have made a difference here. and it is time for everybody in our legislature including the ones who would like to walk around with an ar-15 lapel pin, it is time for every one of them to face the voters and if they are not going to do something, then voters will have to vote them out because that is what that lapel pin means. it means vote me out. i am against you.

and i'm against your safety. and a lot of us have had enough of it. i can tell you i certainly have had enough of it. meantime in texas police are still searching for a motive after gunfire erupted at a party. paul willis was killed. >> he was a recent high school graduate that wanted to join the air force. his other didn't recognize him when she got to the scene. >> my sister was a block away when he got shot and she walked past him and didn't even know it was him when he was dead. people were around his body and they just left him on the street. just left him. he was just laying there. >> and they say he was a good kid who worked at a local mcdonald's and was focused on work so much he even skipped his graduation because of his job. >> and we'll continue these

stories and bring you the very latest. a federal judge has blocked the biden administration from communicating with social media companies about policing certain content on their platforms. >> they say it is a victory for republican states which allege that they had gone too far. mel melissa has more. >> reporter: and they have blocked from communicating with social media companies about certain content. this is in response to two state attorneys generals from missouri and louisiana who in 2022 filed a lawsuit that says that the biden administration overstepped in communicating with social media companies during the pandemic when it asked them to police speech on topics such as covid-19 election integrity and security of voting by mail. this judge said the agencies and officials are barred from,

quote, specifically flagging content or posts on social media platforms and are forwarding such to smooetd companies urging, encouraging, pressuring or inducing in any manner for removal, suppression or reduction of content containing protected free speech. those affected include the department of health and human services, the cdc, the fbi and the justice department as well as more than a dozen top officials including the u.s. surgeon general and white house press secretary. by this order, they are prohibited from communicating with facebook, instagram, whatsapp, twitter, youtube, google and tiktok as well as other online platforms. we reached out to the social media companies for comment and have not heard back. meta though did decline to comment. there are a few exceptions. the treasury department, commerce department and fda can

still have contact with the social media companies, but the agencies named can communicate only with the social media companies if there is any illegal activity or national security threats. judge dody, a trump appointee, has not made a final ruling on the case, but this is a significant victory for the states that are suing the biden administration in this matter. vanessa yurkevich, cnn, new york. white house official says justice department is reviewing the injunction and evaluate the options. the white house also issued a statement which reads in part, our consistent view remains social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take account of the effects platforms are having on the american people but make independent choices about the information they present. in the middle east, israel says all of its forces have withdrawn from jenin and the

military operation there is over but violence has spread to gaza and tel aviv. >> israeli forces say they have been conducting strikes in the gaza strip. they say all five rockets were intercepted, and it targeted weapon production sites for the palestinian militant group hamas. >> and the operation left at least 12 people dead and many more injured. israel says one of its soldiers was also ckilled. and at least three children were among those killed in jenin. the united nations is calling for an immediate end to the violence. >> hamas claims responsibility for car ramming and stabbing attack in tel aviv on tuesday which left at least eight people injured. nada bashir is tracking the developments. >> and we've heard a warning that this is another pattern of violence that we have seen in the past and while israeli troops have indeed left jenin,

tensions are still high and the continued threat of potential escalation is looming large over the jenin refugee camp. we've seen the exchange of rocket fire from the gaza strip, there is significant concern around a potential escalation, particularly of course as we saw the ramming of pedestrians in tel aviv. so there is real concern there. and of course we have to put this into context, this is the largest incursion of this kind that we have seen at the jenin refugee camp in the west bank since the early 2000s. and this is a deeply impoverished region of the west bank, home to some 17,000 people living within an area that is less than a quarter of a square kilometer. and of course there is real concern around the impact this has had on the civilians living in this area. we know of course the idea has said that it is targeting military structures. and we've heard from hamas, they have framed it as a victory, they have said that the idea has

learned its lessons and that they have withdrawn as a result of the palestinian resistance. so clearly two very different pictures there on both sides. but of course we are talking about a huge civilian impact, that has been the warning from the united nations and other international human rights groups. we've seen at least 12 people killed including three children and the infrastructure damage that has been sustained is significant. as we begin to see civilians returning to their homes, of course thousands forced to flee as a result of being caught in that cross fire, they will be returning to immense destruction and of course many of them returning to the scene of mourning. >> and bulldozers were used, weren't they. and there has been retaliation in tel aviv. >> and we saw eight people injured after a car rammed in to pedestrians and the driver then attempted to stab civilians there. a police spokesperson told cnn that the driver was killed at the time by an armed civilian. and we've heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu reacting to that

condemning the attack. take a listen. >> translator: today there was a heinous terrorist attack in tel aviv stopped due to the intervention of an armed civilian. whoever thinks that such an attack will deter us from continuing our fight against terrorism is mistaken. we will not allow jenin to go back to being a city of refuge for terrorism. >> and we've seen troops withdrawing from jenin, but this is not a sign of all being well, this is not a sign of peace. we've seen how quickly things can change in the west bank in the past time and time depend and of course the concern now is as we see retaliatory attacks, there could be a further escalation of violence.of cours we see retaliatory attacks, there could be a further escalation of violence. waste water japan wants to dump into its sea from the fukushima power plant. >> regulators say they think it is okay, but not everyone agrees. >> mark stewart is live for us

in tokyo. the iaea say that this is consistent with safety guidelines but there are still concerns. how sure can the atomic energy agency be? >> reporter: right. so the concerns are about the safety of this water. not only short term but also long term. what will it do to the marine life for example. that is why fishermen here in japan are among many groups expressing reservations about the release of water in addition to the broader international community. i was just at fukushima back in april and it looks much more than a water treatment facility than a nuclear power plant. it is there that the tanks of water, enough to fill 500 olympic swimming pools, has been filtered and diluted. you mentioned the international standards for safe water

release. and this water still will contain a radioactive ice so ra but it is consistent with the levels we've seen released from other nuclear facilities not only here in this part of the world, but around the entire globe. still despite the reassurances including a visit today, highly symbolic visit today by head of the international atomic energy agency, there are critics including china and it is a point that came up for discussion recently at a briefing at its ministry of foreign affairs. take a listen to some remarks from a spokesperson speaking from beijing. >> translator: the report cannot green light the discharge takes cannot prove that ocean discharge is the only option or safest and most reliable option. china urges japan to in a responsible attitude for the whole humanity and future generations stop pushing through the discharge plan.

>> reporter: there are other alternatives including bearing these tanks of water, but the idea of releasing it into the ocean is the one that is prevailing among the scientific community, at least attached to this project. we should point out that this release of the water is not just going to be a sudden one and done event. a tunnel has been built from the plant into the pacific ocean, and it will take years programs d -- perhaps decades to fully release it. and also the iaea will have a presence in japan to monitor the process. >> well, that is reassuring. mark stewart, thank you so much. a suspicious powder found inside the white house has been sent for further analysis. >> initial analysis says it was possibly cocaine. jeremy diamond as the details. >> reporter: a powdery substance was found sunday evening and it

prompted a brief evacuation of the complex. a hazmat team came in and deemed the substance nonhazardous but two sources familiar with the matter say that that powdery substance tested positive for cocaine. now, that was done via a field test which is sometimes inconclusive and it has been sent out for further testing and evaluation. now, the secret service spokesman says it was found in a work space within the west wing. president biden for his part, he was not at the white house when it took place. 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 is certainly possibly that that is how that baggy of cocaine apparently should it be confirmed made its way into the west wing. but that being said, the secret service is conducting an ongoing investigation into the matter to determine exactly how that substance made its way on to the white house grounds.

jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. we're following developments on a mass shooting in washington, d.c. police say nine people were injured outside a fourth of july celebration just a few hours ago. two of the victims were children age 9 and 17. none of the injuries considered life threatening oig. police say they are looking for a blue or black suv as part of their investigation. the shooting took place about five miles from the u.s. capitol building. we'll continue to monitor the story. and just staggering that there are so many of these deadly attacks. >> hard to keep up with now. >> supposed to be celebrations and times for communities to come together. independentce day can be a useful day to stump for votes and that is how many republican candidates spent their holiday. but one was conspicuously absent. we'll have a look at the day on the campaign trail. plus 18 million people in the u.s. are under severe weather threats. we'll have the latest forecast. and the social media war is

heating up with mark zuckerberg's company meta about to launch a new app to compete directly with elon musk and twitter.

independence day was no holiday for many of the republican presidential candidates. they took advantage of patriotic events in two key primary states. florida governor ron desantis marched in two fourth of july parades in new hampshire, south carolina senator tim scott, north dakota, and will hurd also appeared in the granite state. >> and francis suarez was in iowa where mike pence also campaigned. but donald trump was nowhere to be found. still his presence not far from the candidates' minds. let's go first to kiowa. >> reporter: it is all in iowa and we're watching former president trump mike pence campaign through iowa. his campaign says that it is this all the 9 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 2 mile parade route that at many points the former vice president burst into a jog shaking hands with as many people as possible, trying to sell this idea of a conservative future that he sees as the 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 of the nation caucus state. notably not here is his former running mate, donald trump, who chose not to be in iowa, something mr. pence pointed out in talking with reporters.

>> i can't account for what other campaigns decided, but for me it was vitally important to be here where the journey to the white house always begins. and to spend two miles at times jogging uphill to take our case to the people of iowa. and i promise you we'll keep running that hard all the way to the finish. >> reporter: a 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. remember >> reporter: the weather rained here in new hampshire but it didn't dampen the spirits for those who came out to support or even some of the candidates here on the campaign trail. among them ron desantis who his super pac or i should say the pro desantis super pac never backed down, their spokes person even acknowledged that they feel

that they are way behind in the polling, that this is an uphill battle though not one that they say is unwinnable. and that is part of why he hit this trail hard meeting a lot of people along what was two parade routes across new hampshire over fourth of july shaking hands, doing some of the on the ground presence that could help make inroads into what has been a shadow over the gop field. what mine by that is that the significance lead that forr i polling has shown dutonald trum to have. cnn polling shown that 47% would support the former president and next closest, which is desantis, is double digits away. and that is also why we saw not just desantis but south carolina senator tim scott. >> narrator: north dakota governor and congressman will hurd out to try to close some of that gap as we approach the first debates in

august. but the more significant date that as we approach the first primary dates. at the end of the day, what is more american than campaigning for president on the fourth of july. omar jimenez, cnn, new hampshire. a wildfire in the state of washington is forcing hundreds to flee from their homes. the tunnel fire has burned through more than 500 acres only three days that it broke out. >> authorities have ordered evacuations for a four mile area around the fire. they say it is unpredictable and hot and dry and wendindy condits are making it worse. it is just 5% contained. about 80 million people across the u.s. are under threat of severe storms today. central and southern states could see large hail and damaging winds. >> and more heavy rain to already drenched areas in the northwest. new jersey saw flooding on tuesday and then also the sweltering heat. >> and a number of u.s. cities

have tied or broke their daily high temperature records including many across the pacific northwest and that trend is expected to continue the next 48 hours. chad myers has the forecast. >> fairly typical day across the united states for your wednesday. storms along the east coast less across the northeast, boston, new york, philadelphia less for you than you had yesterday for sure. and then the middle part of the country, that is where the severe weather is going to set up, from chicago all the way back even toward oklahoma city, some of the storms could contain hail and also gusty wind. so as we take you to 6:00 a.m., storms moving from omaha down to kansas city. by 8:00, we see the storms firing even across parts of the southeast. every little red spot there will be one thunderstorm and there will be a few that cause significant lightning as well. so if you are out again on wednesday, maybe like you were today, you will have to watch out for that lightning in your forecast. not a lot of rainfall coming down though in any one spot, so

we don't have the concentrated flood risk for your wednesday. things look pretty good across most of the country. down across the southwest, still going to be very warm, although cooling down over the next few days. phoenix, you will still be over 110. but across parts of the northwest, you have a couple hot days and then it begins to cool down. las vegas, 104. that sounds hot, but that is your normal high for your friday. so that is how we were from 115 in some spots now down to about 104. hot and sticky across the southeast, although the numbers in the shade say 90s, you are going to feel like 100 with that heat index. >> and while the southern u.s. has been baking under an intense heat dome in recent weeks, monday marks the hottest day ever recorded globally with the average temperature reaching nearly 63 degrees fahrenheit. and that is according to initial data from meteorologists. if china a recent heatwave has

pushed temperatures in to the mid-90s. north africa has seen temperatures exceeding 120 degrees. and even antarctica recently broke its july temperature record. scientists say human-driven climate change combined with el nino pattern are to blame. coming up, ukraine's fight to reclaim its land, they say they are still on track in making progress. and king charles set to receive a second crown, this time in scotland. more on the festivities ahead. okay. i'll work on that. the queeeen sleep number 360 2 smart bed is now only $899. plus, free homome delivery when you add an adjustable base. shop now o only at sleep number.

the suspect who opened fire in philadelphia will appear in court in the coming hours to face multiple murder and assault charges. police haven't yet released the identity of the suspect and international nuclear regulators have approved japan's plan to dump treated waste water from its fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea. and kremlin is dropping new hints about detained wall street reporter evan gershovich. the kremlin spokesperson says there are certain contacts on the matter but we don't want them to be made public. gershovich was arrested in march and accused of espionage which he denies. another u.s. citizen paul whelan was arrested this russia back in 2018. kylie atwood explains. >> reporter: russian officials won't even comment at all on conversations to secure their release because they say they need to go through the entire

trial system. so noteworthy however it does sort of also reflect what our reporting is, that u.s. officials have really been looking around the globe to try to see what options they can gin up to try to offer to the russians to secure evan gershovich's release and of course paul whelan as well. ukraine says russia is using all its forces to stop kyiv's progress around the city of bakhmut. the ukrainian deputy defense minister says country forces are facing serious resistance there. as she says that ukraine is advancing on the city's southern flank. >> and russia also putting up a fierce fight on the southern front lines. ukraine is not reporting advances but they insist that they still have the upper hand. sk scott mclean is joining us to discuss. speaking of zaporizhzhia, president zelenskyy has made alarming claims about the safety of the power plant. >> that's right. so it was actually last week that ukraine started doing

exercise to prepare for what they describe as potential terror attack coming from russia, something the kremlin firmly denied that they would ever be responsible for pointing to the fact that there are iaea inspectors on site right now who have the run of the place, they can look at whatever they would like. but now zelenskyy is sort of repeating the claim that he has been suggesting for a while now saying that the russians are essentially trying to plant a false flag operation going as far as saying that ukrainian -- ukraine has intelligence that there are objects placed on the roofs of some of these powerres. ukrainian military is saying that these would potentially be strong enough to look like ukrainian shelling, but not strong enough to actually do any real damage to the power units. i should mention that the actual reactors themselves are housed in containment units meant to withstand the force of an accidental plane crash. so they are heavily, heavily

reinforced. how they would react to being hit by weapons of war, that is obviously a completely different question. the good news is that we are getting some reassuring signs from both sides. the nuclear official on the ukrainian side says that the situation is stable right now. their counterpart on the russian occupied side as well also saying that everything is normal. background radiation levels are normal. calling the ukrainian claims garbage. and calling on people not to fall for what he calls the, quote, information psychological operations of zelenskyy. >> it is going slowly, isn't it, this offensive. >> yeah, slowly and i'm not sure that surely would be the next word to use because the ukrainians say that they are making some step by step progress in the southern end of bakhmut, but elsewhere they say the front lines are heavily fortified and in some placeses triple reinforced. it was a few days ago that

ukrainians estimated 180,000 russian troops on the frontlines alone. so we're not seeing a lot of movement at the moment. but what we're seeing new is that the russians are accusing ukrainians of attacking some border regions. and we're seeing the aftermath of missile strikes on the ukrainian side as well, one of them hitting a town in the kharkiv region when a funeral for a fallen ukrainian soldier was taking place. >> scott, thank you so much. tell ban in afghanistan have ordered beauty salons to close in a month. one business owner told cnn her salon was the only means to feed her family. gyms and parks have also been closed to women since the taliban returned to power in 2021. >> last year authorities closed most girls high schools and barred women from universities. western governments and international organizations say the restrictions on women are hampering any possible progress

some twitter users have not been happy with the platform since elon musk took control last october. now instagram's parent company is about to launch a new social media app called threads, hoping to poach some twitter users when it goes live tomorrow. anna stewart explains. >> reporter: a battle between elon musk and mark zuckerberg and, no, it is not in a ring. at least not yet. this time meta is taking on twitter by launching threads, an app that has more than a passing resemblance to twitter. from the interface with threads of messages to the functionality with options on the messages

much like twitter's like, reply, post and share buttons. multiple apps have been launched in competition to twitter. truth social and more recently through sky. but a major difference is that threads can lean on instagram's huge existing user base. it has more than 2 billion active monthly users. and the timing could work in its favor. twitter under elon musk is yubd going a major transformation and not everyone thinks that it is going all that well. whether removal of blue verification ticks for those who refuse to pay or reappearance of users who had been previously banned from the platform for hate speech and misinformation. or even operationally their outages over the weekends and now twitter has temporarily limited how many tweets users can see. the fact is some of twitter's users could be ripe for the picking. so in this fight, perhaps the odds are looking favorable in mark zuckerberg's corner.

but judging by the tweet from elon musk appearing to question the sanity of meta's leadership team, he is not tapping out. meanwhile the actual fight the two have said they are ready for, no news on that yet. but from thursday we can look to both twitter and threads for any updates from elon musk and mark zuckerberg. anna stewart, cnn, london. >> what dough we think of the n threads? >> i think it is referencing threads of tweets. >> makes me think of what a weird uncle would say when he is trying to sound cool. and scotland set to celebrate accession of king charles following his coronation in may. he will be presented with scottish crown jewels at a ceremony today. it is part of royal week which takes place annually to celebrate scottish culture. king charles and queen camilla

will be joined by william and kate for a series of engagements around the country. so how are the crown jewels different? >> they are the oldest. mary queen of scott was crowned with them. that is why there is some confusion here, why it is not a coronation because he is being presented with a crown and previous kings and queens of scotland did have coronations. but i think that they are just being very careful not to confuse it with the other one. >> how enthusiastic do you expect scot will be? >> there are a couple scotts in the newsroom that don't think much about it, but i think that it will be like a grand affair. >> so stay tuned for that later in the day. we'll bring you live pictures and much trivia with b. crown jewels and so on. and british police are reopening a probe into a potential covid-19 breach at an event held at the conservative party held quarters during the pandemic. the announcement follows release

of a video showing party aides at a christmas celebration in december 2020. police had investigating gathering before but no fines issued at that time. and the los angeles county sheriff's department is investigating two of its deputies after body camera footage showed a woman being thrown to the ground. >> the department says that the officers were attempting to detain a couple of suspected -- a couple suspected of robbing a grocery store while the man was being handcuffed, the woman recorded the video. warning this video does show some concerning content. >> you can't touch me. you can't touch me. >> get down on the ground. get on the ground! stop. i don't -- stop. [ bleep ] stop or you'll get punched in the face. >> you punch me and you're going to get sued. you already got sued. i got it on camera. >> stop. turn around. >> i don't care, get your leg

off my -- i can't breathe. i can't breathe. you threw me down to the ground. stop man handling me. i didn't do nothing. >> we need assistance. >> hands behind your back. >> stop twisting my arm sgrp put your hands behind your back. >> i mean, that is just horrible -- >> horrible to see. >> disproportionate use of force. the couple were cited and released but not clear what they were cited for. authorities say both deputies have been reassigned from field duty pending the investigation. in west virginia, the state police are facing allegations of spying on female officers and minors. >> new civil lawsuit alleges that male officers have a hidden camera in the woman's shower and locker room over a ten year period. brynn gingras has this report. >> all i wanted to do my entire
