sundays. >> victor, great to sit next you to. glad you are with us. we start with the exclusive cnn reporting. the special counsel's team of investigators are homing in on a heated oval office meeting in the final days of the trump presidency when extreme ideas were floated to keep him in power. twitter is threatening to sue meta after the blockbuster launch of threads. threads surpassed 50 million signups in the first 24 hours. we will break down the accusations by elon musk's lawyer. also, we are about to get the jobs report for last month. economists predicting a 30th straight month of solid job grains. could it mean more interest rate hikes are on the way? this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. ♪ ♪ we begin this hour with that cnn exclusive reporting. we have learned that special counsel jack smith's team of investigators are really focused

on a now famous oval office meeting just weeks before the january 6th insurrection. a meeting that devolved into a screaming match between white house lawyers and a group of outside advisors who were pushing extreme ideas to try to keep donald trump in power. prosecutors have been asking witnesses about those outsiders. former national security advisor michael flynn, the attorney sidney powell and former ceo of overstock patrick burns. >> ideas like having the military seizet videoing machines in key states, invoking martial law and appointing sidney powell as a special counsel to investigate supposed voter fraud. rudy giuliani was in that meeting. prosecutors questioned him about it when he voluntarily sat down for a lengthy two-day interview with investigators. and we know that trump's white house lawyers they pushed back hard on the wild ideas. >> i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice.

and so i didn't understand how they had gotten in. >> what they were proposing i thought was nuts. >> whoever the other guy was showed nothing but contempt and disdain of the president. if it had been me sitting his chair, i would have fired all of them that night and had them escorted out of the building. >> i will categorically describe it as the guys are not tough enough or maybe i put it another way, you're a bunch of [ bleep >> after that meeting ended, trump sent out this tweet cainon his supporters to gather in d.c. on january 6th for the big protest. he told them, be there, will be wild. katelyn polantz, learning a lot. what are you learning? >> this meeting is infamous and it's been well known but now it is one of the things that

prosecutors really are making sure that they understand from a lot of different perspectives. they are talking to several witnesses about it according to reporting from a large team of us led by kaitlan collins. and we are hearing from our sources rudy giuliani was asked about this when he sat in for a voluntary interview with the special counsel's office recently. this meeting so infamous because it is when outsiders are, sidney powell, patrick burn and michael flynn had the ear of donald trump. they had a one-on-one with him in this late-night, free-wheeling conversation in the white house. they eventually ended up in the residence of the president. and people like pat cipollone, the white house counsel, came running because they were so alarmed at what was hang there. and what happens in this meeting with donald trump is that people like powell, flynn, patrick burn are trying to convince donald trump, yes, they believe there were votes that were flipped by

voting machines. that is not true. that is not what happened. but they are trying to tell trump you can seize voting machines because you're the president. you can appoint a special counsel to take over and look into this no matter what your advisors in the administration are saying and at that point in time that is when people like pat cipollone and others say to trump directly, there is no fraud. this is not something that you can continue pushing. and when the house january 6th investigators looked at this, they framed this meeting as essentially the moment where from then on donald trump could make a choice. did he want to continue leaning into these false accusations of election fraud, or did he want to accept that he lost? obviously, accepting he lost is not what happened after this meeting. >> not what happened at all. thanks very much for the reporting. >> joining us now cnn political commentator bakari sellers, jeff duncan and cnn senior analyst

elie honig. what does all of this mean in the larger context of where jack smith is going? >> i think the question was are they only looking at the false elector scheme, the submission of those pieces of paper or are they looking more broadly. this answers the question. all of it. and in terms of where are we in this investigation, if i had to put together a checklist as a prosecutor, which you do sometimes with an investigation, in my view they are basically close to or at the end. they spoke with all the key players, some highly placed, mike pence, mark meadows, state level officials, subpoenaed documents. it feels to me like they are at or near the thumbs up thumbs down decision point here. >> interesting cnn op-ed this weekend, you lay our three

things you believe all republican, you know, candidates, i think it's just candidates, i mean, voters, too, but must do, and the key thing here is be unwilling to support a convicted felon. you also say -- i ow. we laugh, but that is not -- >> these are no-brainers. >> but like it could happen. >> right. if you want to see donald trump win, you just keep repeating crazy. if you want a republican to beat joe biden which should be easy with the current polling, then you've just got to focus on the things that i think most americans care about. we agree that the 2020 election wasn't rigged. we out to agree we shouldn't nominate a convicted felon. >> and then ukraine? >> with a full-throated answer say that we support ukraine. we want fiscal responsibility around the spending. we should grow as republican and should see as help us attract the middle because the pathway to the white house is the middle. if we don't win the middle, we have no chance to beat joe biden. >> you said that there is some

silliness around the locality pledge and these are the three things these candidates should pledge. is there one candidate who fits you all that? >> no. we were just laughing off air, but the top three candidates were donald trump, who we believe to be a very weak candidate. he can still be president of the united states. i don't want democrats to be just overly confident. nom two is ron desantis and he is cratering. i compare ron desantis to p icharus. you see his wings melting away. the third vivek. there is nothing intimidating about the republican field. our job is tit to get joe biden out on the campaign trail. >> jennifer rubin has an interesting comment in "the washington post" having to do with your former boss. she says what bakari said about

ron desantis just did not work, actually called him unlikable, mockable and devoid of interpersonal skills, those are her words. but she says if republicans were betting on him to get rid of trump, they should dock up with come up with a plan been and invokes governor kemp or -- should your former boss run? >> brian kemp ran the state of georgia with a conservative, you know, thesis and he had a huge win in the election. he beat david perdue, donald trump's best friend, by 52 points in a primary and beat stacey abrams. it's a winning strategy. he put on display what conservative leadership looks like and he did it in a non-hateful way. he is conservative but not angry. so that to me is the model. if brian kemp wants to orun for president, i will be there to help him. >> one wrinkle is, he looks like he will be a witness in fani willis' case. he is going to have to do the

dance we see a lot of gop contenders doing. >> if brian kemp runs for president of the united states, he is actually talented enough to make inroads and to well in the field and to well in a conservative primary and actually strike fear in the hearts of democrats. >> something you said, i want to go back to, you said that the job is to get the message out about bidenomics if we are using that term now. we had congressman clyburn on yesterday. the president was in south carolina. his criticism was, if there was one to pull from it, the white house is not doing that work well enough to get the message to the voters which is why we see in the polls people don't feel good about the economy. >> i think by tangible metrics you see bidenomics working. when you go into the barbershops where apparently we have been recently because we both look -- >> looking good, guys. >> looking amazing now. zoom in on whatever you got do, producers. when you talk to the individuals, when you talk to the people who are real world individuals, our friends, they don't necessarily feel it and that's why you have to have kamala harris on the ricky

smiley morning show, on gospel radio, joe biden out, have him in the barbershops because this race is going to be won in milwaukee, atlanta, detroit, philadelphia. that's br this race for president is going to be won. and we have to make sure we are doing that work now instead of rolling out surrogates next labor day saying please rally these voters. >> you have -- and it may ound offense but fact -- two old white guys in the front in each party. ba carpry is laughing. it's more diverse -- the gop isn't heralding the achievement. this is a -- can we show? i don't know if we have an image to show. this is a more diverse than ever gop field and do you agree they are not heralding that? >> in a normal cycle this would be so applauded across all spectrums of the country. we have a series of candidates so good in so many different things and we would be troonly -- the only way to explain donald trump right now

is stockholm syndrome. he kidnaps the republican party in 2016, miss treats us, abuses you us and gets convicted or rekted and now his own victims are coming back developed him. until we break that, we are not going see the true talent that we've got sitting on the bench ready to take on. we should be able to run anybody but donald trump currently a candidate for president as a republican and beat joe biden handily. >> you think about brian kemp and tim scott, for example. that's a ticket that is formidable. that's a ticket that democrats have to buckle up and begin to think about. listen, what they are doing right now doesn't strike fear in anybody's heart. >> shout out to jeh johnson for keeping the beard tight. thank you very much. stick around. we have more to talk about. twitter threatening to sue meta over the new threads app. just as mark zuckerberg touts more than 40 million signups for the twitter competitor, what twitter is alleging next.

it's been 100 days since "the wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich was detained in russia. his family just spoke to the journal about how they are coping. we'll bring you that interview just ahead. i gotta get a bigger place. ♪ how do i buy a h house? ♪ first time buyers are my specialty. i'll guide you through it.t.

the company owned by musk is, elon musk, is accusing meta of hiring former employees to help create threads which with works in a similar way to twitter but meta rejects the claims saying in a thread that no one on the threads' engineering team is a former

twitter employee. that's not just a thing. joining us cnn anchor and host of the assignment podcast. good to see you. what is this about? these are essentially having now created accounts on both of them, they are the same. does this thread of a lawsuit slow meta at all? >> well, obviously, meta has really ramped up its sort of effort to find a way into this space. the problem is it's not the only one. there is this conversation about blue sky, there is spill. there have been a number of apps that stepped up into what they consider the breach that elon musk has created with the way he has, quote, unquote, run twitter the last two, three years. so it's left an opening and it will be interesting to see whether the legal part of this goes anywhere. the background to it, there is a weird spat between mark zuckerberg and elon musk which,

you know, i think people are jokingly, maybe not jokingly, talking about them getting in some sort of fistfight. so this is one of those situations where you have overlapping personal, technology, and business people who are kind of puffing up their chests at each other. >> and billions, billions, billions. billionaires. >> billions at stake. >> you have a fascinating story coming up this sunday. we will play a little bit in a moment. but it's about social media and kids and parents and major worries and mental health. how does threads tie into how meta is addressing this mental health aspect of it all? >> well, the movement to sue social media companies over harms, whether they be eating disorders or bullying or sexual exploitation really accelerated after francis haugen a few years ago released the facebook paper. she was an ex-facebook employee. she said the company had been

research and understood there were social harms that could come from kind of overuse of social media. fast forward to now. you have threads, which if you dig into the settings, have these efforts at its, quote, unquote, family center, that allows parents to supervise teen accounts. it has content moderation, the ability to hide certain words. you are seeing reflected in this new launch kind of the long-term effort in part because the company is under public pressure to do so. >> let's play a clip of the episode of the whole story with anderson cooper focusing on families suing the social media companies because of the mental health impact. let's watch. >> what she didn't know at the time was that she had figured out how to block her mother from seeing her online life. >> she had saved her fingerprint and i didn't know she saved it in my phone. so if i fall asleep or whatever, she would use her fingerprint to

get in and change the set epgs. >> once the pandemic started, she was posting more. she became more recluse. she was focused on how many likes she has. how many followers she has. how many followers she is losing. who is messaging her. >> during the pandemic, when selina's school and social life moved online, she was regularly messaging with peel on these apps. some she snu. some she did not. >> they were adults that would reach out, which i was not aware of until not too long ago. men. they knew she was a minor. >> there have been variations of these stories for some time. what would you tell people about what's coming on sunday night, the most impactful part of what you learned? >> i think that i learned that it's very easy to look at parents and say take away a kids' phone, don't let them open

accounts. right now the kids and the tech companies are way ahead of us in terms of understanding this technology and how to manipulate it. so the question is, if the government isn't going to get involved and the companies are best served by the widest pottinger possible engagement, meaning they are best served by you having multiple accounts, by a kid opening multiple accounts, that engagement is meaningful to them, what effort will there really be to do any of the other, quote, unquote, reforms or even figure those out. should they verify the identity of people who open accounts, no sort of anonymity. what information to understand whether or not a child is using the platform and then the most fundamental thing to all of the internet which is algorithmic recommendation. the internet serves you up more of what you want. and if you start to want thing that are detrimental to you or others, you end up in a bear hug spiraling out of a plane where you just go down this rabbit

hole that the algorithm draws you in deeper. is there anything you can do about that given the fundamental nature of algorithmic recommendations in terms of its architecture built into the internet. so it's like a lot of things tied in all at once. it's a knot. the people raising the biggest hardest questions about this are kids and families. >> such a timely report. we will be looking forward it. thank you so much and we want you to watch the report on the dark side of social media. be sure to tune into "the whole story with anderson cooper" airing sunday at 8:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. back with us bakari, jeff, elie. all of you parents. i am the only person at the table who is not a parent. this must be -- i can't find an adjective to describe how frightening this must be for parents because you give your kids a phone because in many

ways it's a necessity now and you hope that they don't go down this rabbit hole. >> you can't not give them a phone. we tried to hold out as long as possibility. it's just a reality of life now. she said parents are always going to be behind the kids in the social media companies. i mean, she is exactly right. you know, i can barely figure out the most rudimentary functions. so where can we hope to have some sort of whether it's regulation or some hope of keeping our kids from the kind of harms i think she powerfully laid out? >> there are two terrifying aspects. i have an 18-year-old. that's just terrifying. she is going to howard in august and that's terrifying. >> bravo. >> then i have 4 1/2-year-old twins. watching them grow up under the auspices of just the comment section let alone the dangers that lurk out there. and then you have elon musk and mark zuckerberg who haven't proven themselves to show that they actually care about the --

>> both fathers. >> both fathers who haven't proven themselves to show they care about the user. i think that's a fundamental prostate cancer as well. from a personal level you are scared about what your children may encounter or who may be reaching out. as a criminal defense lawyer, i represent some of these people. you see it up close and personal. then you look at the people who govern, i mean we are running from -- we are literally running from elon musk to mark zuckerberg. i mean, that is -- i mean, that's -- i mean, what is that? 2% versus regular? there is not much of a difference and that just on a political level frightens me. >> this is a hot topic at our hours. we have a 21-year-old in college at uga. we have got a 17-year-old in high school and a 12-year-old going into search gradient. he what are the regulations, the family rules of operating procedures, and the end of the day we feel like we have to parent through it, right. we have to do it to best of our ability, talk tour kids, make sure they understand kind of the

consequences of doing too much online or saying too much or engaging. one of the things we found to be helpful the three kids police themselves. we are watching but my kids follow each other on social media. if somebody puts something out or re-tweeting, tiktoking, all above my pay grade, we hear about it. you have got friends -- but it's a complicated scenario as a parent, right, to parent through some of this stuff. >> certainly is. >> my twins are buy one get one free today if you want one. >> you keep them. >> you sure? >> i got a seventh grader in atlanta. >> everybody is always trying to hand off the kid to me. >> i will pass. >> it's a great weekend. >> living the good life, guys. he got to go out to dinner last night. thank you all very, very much. on the politics and parenting and what we are all facing, those challenges at home, how do we figure this out. later this hour, this is exciting, we will talk to a nasa scene tsitsipas about their mars habitat where four scientists

were locked in it for the next year. they will undergo tests and try to solve simulated problems to prepare for the real manned/womaned mission to mars. one of the challenges is how to communicate and this is where victor gets -- is very interested in this part, right? >> i am. >> 22 minutes. >> 22 minutes at times for messages to be received on the red planet. we have got this clock up now. imagine you send a text that says, hey, big head, it will take 22 minutes to get to the person on mars. [ laughter ] >> they are going to cue me in on this joke in the break. the labor department will release june jobs numbers in just a few minutes. we will tell you what they say ahead. and britney spears says she was slapped by a security guard for the nba's number one draft pick. their differing accounts of what happened. we have that for you. with 30 grams of protein.

♪ a lift driver who survived

the taliban taking over his country of afghanistan has been killed in washington, d.c. 31-year-old was found inside his car unconscious and shot late monday night. a gofundme, they say he was working an extra shift at the time. he was a former afghan interpreter who served alongside u.s. army special forces in afghanistan for a decade. he brought his family to the u.s. in 2021 after the afghan government collapsed. he was the sole provider for his wife and four children. no suspects have been named but police released this video of four people running away from the scene shortly after he was shot. there is the video of those four people who are running. also this. 100 days since "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich was detained in russia. he faces 20 years in prison on espionage charges, charges he

vehemently denies. in april the u.s. state department officially designated gershkovich as wrongfully detained but still he remains behind bars in russia and appeal after auto appeal has been denied, including in this june 22nd hearing where his parents were in attendance. surprisingly, this time the judge allowed them to talk to their son through, though, that clear glass. the journal interviewed his family, sat down with him to talk about how they are coping, getting through this, they said they were happy they were able to talk with evan, laugh with him in the courtroom but when it ended reality quickly set in. >> it's even harder now to leave him there than it was the first time. >> i try not to think about anything. just very hard. >> you don't want your mind to go there? >> i don't want my mind to go anywhere. >> the conviction rate in russia is nearly 100%. >> exactly. >> is there any -- >> especially in cases like

that. >> is there anything about this case that gives you hope? >> no. no. i rely on president biden's promise to do whatever it takes to bring evan back. i rely on his team, on their expertise. >> just knowing that our government is doing everything in their power right now and just everyone wants to help and is thinking about him. i just know that we are not athr alone in this. >> we, too, are thinking about evan and his family. now let's talk about this odd incident out of las vegas. so it investigators britney spears and nba rookie victor wembanyama. spears has filed a police report. she alleges battery after she was struck in the face by one of the 19-year-old's security guards. she says that she was trying to get his attention by tapping him on the shoulder.

and here is what the 7'4" wembanyama says happened. >> i didn't see what happened because i was walking straight. but a person grabbed me from behind. not on the shoulder grabbed me from behind. the security push her away i thought it was no big deal. the security was -- britney spears. at first i was like you are joking. turns out it was britney spears. >> all right. cnn's coy is with us now. >> a lot to unpack here. britney spears taking to social media yesterday to tell her side of the store rit. she says she was in las vegas with her husband samhen she saw victor and she is a big fan of his she says and she walked up to get his attention, she says it was loud in the hotel and she tapped him on the shoulder is what she claims. victor says she grabbed him from behind. brittney says that the security

guard backhanded her causing her to almost fall to the ground, slapping her in the face s she takes issue with what he told reporters saying it feels like he was laughing when he spoke to that pool of reporters heart attacks that she is 5'4", he is over 7'0" tall lake you said sand she says she has not received a public apology from him from the security so a police report was filed. we have contacted the las vegas metropolitan police department who say, obviously, no arrests have been made, no charges have been filed. but britney spears, we showed you that full screen a moment ago, saying that the -- this y is super embraing to -- you know, she doesn't want to be talking about this and she makes a lot of headlines for especially her conservatorship the last of years. she says it's important to share the story to urge people in the public eye to set an example and treat all people with respect and then her husband sharing pictures of her when fans broach

her. she says when she was in vegas she was approached by over 20 fans and, you know, her security isn't slapping anybody. so, again the story is still developing and perhaps victor and the spurs and others will say more. >> we will look out for that. thanks. just into cnn labor department out with the june jobs report. the u.s. economy added 209,000 jobs last month. straight to rahel solomon with the numbers. another strong report. >> but this is the fst time in 15 months this number came in softer than what most economists were expecting. economists were expecting something closer to 225,000. 209,000 jobs were added. this is, however, th30th month of job growth. yet another month. unemployment at 3.6%. that was what we were expecting. ticked down quite a bit, slightly, rather, from 3.7%. where we areeeg the

strongest job gains, a continuation of what we have already seen. we know that construction added jobs. we know that health caredded jobs. we will try to get the sectors pulled up for you. health care adding 40,000 jobs. some of these sectors including health care is an industry that still has struggled to rehire workers coming out of the pandemic, right. so you are starting to see that there. they are still adding jobs there. here is what the fed has been watching closely. wages. wages not so great in this report. this came in slightly higher than what ceconomists were expecting. on a monthly basis 0.4%. the expectation was closer to 0.3%. on an annual basis, also ticking up to 4.4%. >> because of the inflation concerns? >> exactly. that's an important point. the reason why the fed watches this closely is not necessarily that policymakers want people to make less money. they are concerned because of inflation that higher wages could be feed nothing inflation. so they hoped the numbers would moderate. it has been but the last month ticking up a little bit in a way perhaps they didn't want to see.

>> thank you. all right. let's check the chlock. we started 12 minutes ago with a text to big head. you didn't get my text yet? >> this is the thing. i had to have explained to me in the break. >> all right. yeah, have somebody explain it to you in the break at home. how much time it could take for a message from earth to be received on mars, up to 22 minutes. >> that's right. four scientists were locked in a simulated mars habitat. they will stay there 366 more days. if problems arise during the test they may have to take a page from mark watney, the martian. i loved this. >> in the face of overwhelming odds i am left with only one option. i am gonna have to science the [ bleep ] out of this.

♪ look, i mean, i don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but i am the greatest botanist on this planet. >> they say that once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it. >> so? technically i colonized mars. ♪ >> in your face, neil armstrong.

>> stranded matt damon had to figure out how to grow food on mars to fly on the fly, i should say. luckily for the nasa scientists preparing for the real thing they have more time. four researchers entered a sealed habitat in houston last week. they will be simulating a mars mission inside the 1,700 square foot base for 378 days taking part in simulated activities and science experiments and like damon they will grow vegetables using a hydroponic system. the crew has only, you know, a mere 366 days left. joining us to talk about all of this is the lead for nasa's behavioral health performance lab dr. suzanne bell. we couldn't have the researchers join you because it takes 22 minutes por them just to hear a question. i am going let victor ask you about the 22 minutes in a moment because he is obsessed. just codo it now. >> okay. i just find this to be the

fascinating part. it takes 22 minutes to get a text message, a call there? explain why this is taking so long. >> well, it's really one of the extreme challenges of having a habitat on mars, is that mars is a different distances from earth at any given time. and so with that comes a communication delay where they won't necessarily receive messages real time. in fact, the further crew gets to going towards mars, the longer the delay. and the delay can be up to 22 minutes each way. so just as you're talking about imagine mission control sending a message to the crew. they receive it 22 minutes later and then make a response back, which is another 22 minutes before mission control on earth would receive it. completely different paradigm than in the international space station today where mission control really helps the astronauts real time execute a variety of really complicated

tasks. >> one of your areas of expertise is behavioral health and the psychology behind all of this. you are going in there locked with four people. you better like them. how do you put together a successful team so the dynamic works? >> yeah, that's a really important part is sending a crew that can work well together. but in this circumstance it's not about just working well together. it's about living well together, too. so these are not only people that you are going to do a complex task with only three other people, but normally you get mission control support and hundreds of people in the background helping. but in this case they are your roommates. so looking at people who can emotion regulate, conflict manage, get along well together, it's not only important to have someone who works well as a team but to have that dynamic where the dynamics of the four people can get along well. >> the stressors of not just the travel, but living and working on mars, what are at the top of

the list and how do you replicate those in this environment? >> there is several challenges. one would be the extreme isolation confinement. so if you think about it, in a typical day you might exercise and swim laps or go have a coffee or go on a walk or talk with friends real time. all of those things don't really exist when you go to mars. so you are now in a restricted hostile environment. you go out, you are doing extra vehicular activities in a suit. you are limited to what you have for exercise in just a little bit of equipment that is sent with you. restricted food. we resupply the food to the astronauts to the iss on a regular basis. for mars we have to pre-position food ahead of time. there are so many resource restrictions that we are used to on earth and the international space station that won't be possible on a mars mission. >> what do you expect to be

answered, the biggest question that could be answered from these 378 days in simulation? >> well, we will learn from it for sure. i might change my answer after the mission. but i think what's really important here is to understand how to help humans survive and thrive in this extreme resource-restricted environment. so what we're really doing is informing future risk and resource trades. payloads and what we can send somewhere such as mars will always be limited. so we have to prioritize. do you send more variety of food? how do we have communication back to not only mission control but family and friends so that they can stay connected over a 2 1/2-year mission. what we prioritize, even something like the communication delay that you're very interested in is, you know, the bandwidth of sending messages, at what point do you put the family and friends messages above what mission control is

trying to tell them. at what point is it more important that mission control get the first bit of bandwidth. there is constant trades going on. what i hope to learn and what the team hopes to learn is how do we make those trades that can survive and thrive on mars. >> this has been a fascinating conversation. i think the experiment is fascinating and thank you for spending time with us. speaking of time, still about 40 seconds left in the 22 minutes since i sent my hey big head message and i have likely 22 minutes have fallen asleep. >> we could never fall asleep listening to you. >> not to you, though. thank you so much, dr. suzanne bell. >> appreciate it. >> five suspected shark attacks in 24 hours. we will tell you live or take you live, rather, to long island, new york, where officials now have eyes in the sky to prevent more shark bites from happening. and 2022 cnn hero tyreke

the coast. lifeguards on duty asking people to get out of the water for a few minutes as they allowed it to go about and eventually make it out to sea. that plus a series of nonfatal shark encounters we saw on long island this week a reminder why officials will be out in full force this weekend. >> we have more surveillance, more lifeguards out there than we have ever had in the past. >> reporter: five suspected shark attacks within 24 hours. leading officials to ramp up shark patrols along new york's coast. >> it's their territory and we are invading their territory. >> reporter: the incidents happened at five different locations on long island beaches. on july 3rd officials say a 15-year-old girl was bitten while swimming at robert moses state park. a 15-year-old boy says he was bit at kismet beach. >> my first reaction was to immediately get out of the water and get help. >> reporter: on july 4th three more incidents, this time all involving adults at three separate locations.

all five swimmers had nonlife-threatening injuries. cnn obtained this drone footage from robert moses state park beach on july 4th of what was initially described as sand sharks, but state park officials now say the animals are likely another species of fish according to the "new york times." >> what we're hearing from the shark experts is that these bites are undoubtedly a mistake. they think -- the sharks think they're feeding on bait fish or bunker fish and that's why these are bites. >> reporter: that's why park officials say having an eye in the sky is a critical asset. >> the drones much more inexpensive to fly, they can be deployed very rapidly. we are entering the natural habitat of these animals and there's always the potential for risk, but with all the assets and manpower we have employed here the idea is to keep people as safe as possible. >> reporter: it's not just the northeast that's on heightened

alert, this was a scene monday in pensacola beach, florida, where a shark was spotted swimming near the shore. it may seem like we're seeing more shark encounters, experts say that isn't necessarily the case. >> a lot more documentation occurs because everyone has a cellphone so we see more of these things so they come into our living rooms really quickly. >> reporter: statistically we still see more lightning-related deaths in the u.s. every year than any sort of shark incidents. like lightning-related deaths there are also things that swimmers can do to further decrease their chances of having an encounter in the water. for example, swimming in groups, try to stay close to shore and avoid bait fish. you just heard from that expert a little while ago that a lot of them being drawn -- a lot of the sharks being drawn in closer to the coast because of those little bait fish. >> all good information. polo sandoval, beautiful day out there. thanks so much. a man killed five people in another mass shooting in philadelphia on monday and for

one anti-violence advocate who survived multiple shootings it hit close to home. 2022 cnn hero tyreke glasgow has been working for a decade to make his south philly neighborhood safer, building bridges with police and providing critical support for hundreds of neighbors, but on monday he lost more family members in that mass shooting, making him even more determined to keep pushing for positive change. >> the reality of, you know, just hearing gunshots is normal in our community. the family members and friends that i've lost is countless. i knew two of the victims, my cousin he always looked out to me growing up and dajuan was what our organization was about. he wasn't a young man selling drawings or carrying guns, he was one of the young men who wanted to do right. to have him taken away senselessly, i was hurt. we need to provide a table of resources instead of having this

table of grief. today we start our summer camp and working with the kids, having a safe place for our children. >> what's your favorite color? >> that's where we try to do our part. our community engagement center helps us provide those essential quality of life resources. they're small acts that really change a community's trajectory. i believe that that's how we grow as a community, lifting each other up. it allows me to keep going forward. >> you can find more about tyreke's work and nominate your own hero at cnnheroes.com. no, ma'am stations close july 31st. "cnn news central" starts after this break.
