eighth inning, down by one, facing felix bautista of the orioles. the two-run shot earned him mvp honors. after the game he got emotional talking about his mother being there to see it happen. [ speaking in a non-english language ] >> translator: it was incredibly special for me to have her here. a lot of emotions. with everything we've been through, all the sacrifices she made for me, it was really special to have her here for me. >> the n.l.'s first all-star win since 2012 and just their fourth in the last 26 years. "cnn this morning" continues right now. president biden and ukrainian president zelenskyy are about to meet after a very public disagreement over when and how ukraine can enter nato. >> nato alliance members wary of
4:01 am
tying themselves to a timetable. >> zelenskyy calling the decision unprecedented and absurd. president biden is hoping to focus on what the u.s. can offer ukraine in the here and now and also down the road. thousands of businesses and homes under water. >> this is nowhere near over. >> extreme heat baking other parts of the country. >> 115 degrees won't be out of the question. temperatures continue to go up. >> the senator from alabama is wrong, wrong, wrong. >> after 24 hours of backlash senator tommy tuberville finally condemning white nationalists. >> do you believe white nationalists are raceist? >> yes. >> white supremacy is simply unacceptable in the military and in our whole country. >> under pressure he moved, and i guess it's better than
4:02 am
nothing. >> more than 200 law enforcement officers joined a manhunt for michael charles berra. they found camp sites they believe are associated with him. >> i believe he's a dangerous individual and people need to be alert to that. >> at the beginning of the tournament if someone told me i would beat world number one, i would say they are crazy. >> just happy i could bring a little happiness to the people of ukraine. well, good wednesday morning, everyone. a lot of news going on. this is an important day for the nato summit because much of the summit has been about what ukraine hasn't been able to get. this will be a lot of substance what they will be receiving from the coalition. >> it's been building to this day. no shortage of news on this wednesday morning as has been the case all week in the final
4:03 am
day of a critical nato summit as the war wages on. president zelenskyy meeting with president biden and world leaders as he pleads for more weapons and the invitation to join the nato alliance. he has been frustrated with nato for not giving a clear time line when ukraine can become a member. >> moments ago with jens stoltenberg zelenskyy softened his tone over nato membership but did not relent. >> translator: i would like to have success on this summit for our soldiers, for our citizens, our children, everyone. we can state that the results of the summit are good but should we receive an invitation would be the optimum. >> zelenskyy is set to meet one-on-one with president biden next hour. melissa bell is live in vilnius.
4:04 am
we're told nato leaders agreed to send a significant new aid package to ukraine. what do you have to this point? >> reporter: we're hearing about particular commitments, many substantial, many including weaponry some of these countries have been reluctant to provide so far. what you just heard now in that press conference just held between jens stoltenberg and president zelenskyy, you're quite right, no relent from president zelenskyy on the message that while these aid packages are important, they are not the same as nato membership with that frustration behind his words and the frustration quite well hidden but there nonetheless in the voice of jens stoltenberg. we've seen this the last couple of days that we've been here saying, look, what you have got, what you are getting, what you will get, is substantial. and it doesn't just include the
4:05 am
military aid, the equipment, the weaponry, which continues to be raised up a notch. and i'm thinking here of the f-16s, for instance, that 11 countries will be training ukrainian pilots on with ukrainians believe the possibility that the f-16s will be delivered in time to be operational on the battlefield of ukraine by march of 2024. so substantial gains in terms of ukrainians' ability to wage their war but it is jens stoltenberg, explained, much more, also, about the political guarantees that are coming. the fact that we are here now as equals and soon to be allies in order this kind of war can never be waged again. >> clearly a pathway going forward when that will take place. still an open question. melissa bell, thanks so much. and the face-to-face between presidents biden and zelenskyy no doubt a sign of unity. u.s. national security adviser jake sullivan faced a
4:06 am
contentious back and forth with a ukrainian activist. >> jake, please advise me what should i tell my son that president biden and nato didn't invite ukraine to anyway taupe because he's afraid of russia? afraid of russia losing? afraid of ukraine winning? or the back channel communications with kremlin, which is terrorist organization, to reach the main three deal. should i prepare my son to be a soldier and fight russians when he will be 18 years? >> certain insinuations and implications in your question not founded get checked at the door so we can talk to one another in goodwill, in good faith, and there has been a lot of conspiracy theorizing that simply is not based on any reality whatsoever. and, also, i would just say the american people have sought in
4:07 am
watching and want to go stand in solidarity with the brave and courageous people of ukraine to step up and deliver. i think the american people do deserve a degree of gratitude. >> cnn political and national security analyst david sanger joins us now live from the summit in lithuania. david, your reaction there. with the ukrainian activist as jake sullivan, you heard a touch of defensiveness there from jake sullivan. >> reporter: you did and i think what you're hearing here in public is a little bit of, at least the tenor of the conversation taking place back and forth between the ukrainian leadership, including president zelenskyy and president biden and his staff. early on in that relationship mr. zelenskyy would come to the meetings with president biden with sort of a shopping list of what it was he needed. but as the war has gone on, it's become clear what zelenskyy really wants, and as you were
4:08 am
discussing earlier, is to be in nato so that all of the nato countries, all 32, once we deny is in, to coming to the defense of ukraine with their own troops if need be. and the fact of the matter is no one was really going to be prepared to let ukraine in in the middle of the war. as president biden has frequently said that would put us in direct combat with the russians. and in president biden's view, that's the way on to world warp iii. so that's what he's been trying to avoid. and you've just -- this has been bubbling beneath the surface, but you're just seeing it come out in public now. >> david, i think it's a great point. i want to get you to expand on this a little bit. in covering this white house, this administration, over the course of the entirety of this war, there is the kind of public posture and how they interact with or discuss the relationship
4:09 am
with zelenskyy and his team, and i think there's the behind the scenes. you see the tension spill out in the public at times but you also see when zelenskyy seemed to back off a limb bit in the press conference with stoltenberg, we would like a nato invitation, which was the similar face he made talking about getting more patriot missile systems at the white house visiting president biden and that back and forth, that dynamic and what we don't see publicly, what more do you know about that? >> reporter: well, this tension, as i said before, has been around for a long time. i think there is a little bit of concern within the white house. you heard it in comments that they feel the ukrainians aren't grateful enough for what has been a pretty remarkable amount of arms, intelligence, training that the u.s. and the nato allies have given. far more than we would have all
4:10 am
predicted at the beginning of this war, and certainly far more than vladimir putin predicted. but if you're the ukrainians, you're fighting for your survival and you know that this war is not going to just go away. we're 500 days in, 497 days more than putin thought this was going to last. and the other thing going on, we are likely to see this war go on either at high levels or low levels for some long time to come. and that's why the most interesting thing that's happening here is what isn't happening. no discussions so far of opening peace negotiations, ceasefire negotiations, no one is ready for that because they want to see if the counter offensive can work. it's been a pretty remarkable absence a year and a half into this war that we don't have any discussion under way of what the end game is. >> and that's one of the key
4:11 am
questions, right? >> such a good point. behind the scenes members of nato are talking about what it would take to set up that construct. ukraine has made clear they want to be involved and aren't ready for it yet. i assumed at this point these discussions would be live, and you haven't heard a word about it. david sanger, great to see you. >> reporter: not a word. coming up later this hour, we're going to speak with national security adviser jake sullivan on ukraine's future in nato just as president biden is set to meet with president zelenskyy. and there is no escape as a perfect storm unfolds across the planet. record-breaking heat and flooding have been seen all over the globe daily. expanding heat alerts from southern california to florida this week. arizona is experiencing dangerous triple digit temperatures. phoenix has seen 12 consecutive days with a high over 110 degrees. so let's bring in lucy
4:12 am
cavanaugh. it is still early this morning, but the temperatures are up. f what does 110 fahrenheit feel like? >> reporter: pam, i can tell you when we were out shooting yesterday, it is brutal. the sun is obviously not up yet, so it's probably the most tolerable part of the day. we are expecting temperatures of 112 degrees with the mercury expected to soar past 118 by this weekend. scorching summers may be the norm for arizona's desert cities, but the brutal heat wave engulfing phoenix and the american southwest could be the worst on record. cities sizzling under triple digit temperatures with no break in sight. >> this heat wave can be fatal. >> reporter: firefighters are seeing a jump in calls related to heat sickness. >> the long periods of time where we just don't seem to get any relief.
4:13 am
>> reporter: at the phoenix zoo relief for hippos and elephants in the form of cold showers, others with frozen treats. humans are urged to stay inside. those who have to work outside doors are taking extra precautions. >> where is our access to hydration? where is our access to shade? when are we planning to take breaks? >> reporter: heat is often an invisible killer. maricopa county recorded 425 heat related deaths. as one of america's hottest cities phoenix created a city office dedicated to heat. >> heat is a public health hazard. we don't talk about it as often as we should all across the united states. >> reporter: the city has opened hundreds of cooling centers and water stations. >> it's lifesaving. people are not used to this kind of thing this many days in a row. we have seen episodes like this
4:14 am
sfrimt but this is one that's been extreme even by phoenix standards. >> reporter: a refuge that could mean the difference between life and death. what would it mean if you didn't have a place like this to go? >> it would be death. >> you can't last very long. to go indoors you have to spend money. may not have that option. >> you heard derek there, so difficult for the city's most vulnerable population. this area is used to hot temperatures. what's unusual is how long this heat wave stretch is. 12 consecutive days of over 110 degrees and if it continues they need another seven days to break the all-time record. pam? >> try to stay cool. lucy kafanov, thank you so much. new pushback for ron desantis' digital war room. why some republicans are expressing concern over the florida governor's online narp

4:19 am
one of donald trump's 2024 rivals is weighing in on the former president's push to postpone his trial in the classified documents case. kateitlan collins asked about trump's legal move and whether he thinks it would be fair for voteers to have to cast their vote before the case goes to trial. >> the allegations in that indictment are serious. i don't ever want to diminish the seriousness of handling classified materials of this country. at the end of the day i want to let that process work, let the president have his day in court, make his defense. aisle trust the judges and the court on when that happens. >> joining us now political correspondent sara murray, cnn legal analyst elliot williams and shelby talcot.
4:20 am
sara, trump likes to take all the oxygen in the room and he's doing that with all these legal cases, i mean, it looks like this is going to continue to play a bigger and bigger role in the discourse among republican candidates. >> i think if you're donald trump the silver lining, i guess, to getting indicted and maybe indicted again, you are in the news cycle a lot. people are talk about you. he's used it to his advantage fund-raising. people like mike pence so cautious and not willing to criticize him, what is the real down side for this when it comes to the rest of the republican field? he knows everyone else is trying to court the same republican base. >> ron desantis isn't going after him. >> our eternal optimist, sara
4:21 am
murray. >> if you're going to get indicted raise a lot of money off of it, is that the lesson? >> by the way, it's true. >> let's go half empty. >> i do have a technical question, which is why i brought you on, why you paid all that money for law school. >> solely for you. >> the judge in the classified documents case, i think i was reticent to draw conclusions on any past cases or who nominated her because you don't know in a situation like this. however, the request to delay, an ambiguous time line given the campaign and the election, this rests on her to some degree. >> i would second your view. you just don't know what any judge appointed by democrat or republican is going to do. sometimes they're unpredictable. they live in their own worlds.
4:22 am
the judge has full discretion when to set the trial. she ought to set it and give time to prepare. that will certainly be months ahead in the future. if she really issues a clunker, the justice department could move to have her removed from the case and based on those past rulings could say this judge isn't up to the task. but that's a big stretch. >> is there precedent here? what is a judge looking at when they decide a time line? >> number one, the complexity of the case and just looking at past classified documents cases, not even involving presidents of the united states, they take a long time to get to trial, even rinky dink trials can take months. this idea saying they can get this to trial in december is really ambitious. so it's probably going to be
4:23 am
bumped to next year if not at some point beyond. and that's not the judge engaging in silliness. it takes time to try a classified case. >> you have new reporting about the so-called desantis war room, the controversial ads we've seen. what have you learned? >> i think the big question in light of these controversies, the ai earlier this month and then they had the pride video that they pushed out was are they on the same page as desantis himself because they are generating these by and large negative headlines. desantis is an operator very in tune with his campaign. he's not going to let a whole faction of his team run rogue and messages not in line with what he believes. the idea behind the online, they
4:24 am
are sending it out in a more aggressive way and targeting the harder right, more online supporters and allowing desantis to then go on the ground and talk to these less online, more everyday new hampshire, iowa voters who might be turned off by that messaging. >> and they're comfortable with it right now? >> yes. >> sarah, shelby, elliot, thank you. in nasa is releasing this incredible picture. look at this. nasa says it is the nearest star for forming. astronaut stephen bowen will join us live up next. and what's the first thing you do after you knock out the world's number one tennis player? >> what do you do in the next

♪ a star man waiting in the sky told us not to blow it ♪ i have been literally so excited about this segment. i feel like a kid in a candy store. so first we helped build it. now he is actually living there. since march nasa astronaut stephen bowen has been working at the international space station, an integral member of the crew that helped expand the iss in 2008 adding a new bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms and exercise machine and water recycling system. and joining us approximately 250 miles above earth in his home away from home nasa astronaut and flight engineer stephen bowen live from the international space station. stephen, great to see you.
4:30 am
i prefer the mic to be floating rather than holding it. maybe we'll see that as a little gimmick during the conversation. i'm wondering, first of all, what is your day-to-day like on the international space station? does it ever just feel like you're adjusted to it, it feels normal? >> it takes a while when you first get here. i've been here before but only for a short amount of time. you're here for a couple weeks and work your way through. up here now, when you're up here for six months, it takes a significant amount of time, probably five, six weeks before it feels normal. and even then you're still adjusting and adjusting. i'll probably be adjusting until the day i leave. it's amazing. you're very busy every single day. you work from 7:30 to 7:30 gmt time. it's about midday for us. >> stephen, you talk about the
4:31 am
long work days. part of that has been space walks. i want to show video of you on a space walk. frankly, this is absolutely terrifying to me. the idea of a space walk. i've been intrigued the process. how often do you do them? you spend several hours out there. how do you get out there? how do you get back in? walk people through that. >> obviously the process actually begins months and even years ahead of time, our training, but also the development of the procedures and the ground team coordination in getting the systems and equipment ready and then we do maintenance onboard on the suits to get them ready. it takes a long process just to get to that morning of eda. nowadays when you get up in the morning you start about normal time but then you work continuously before you get out
4:32 am
the door to start your space walk. it takes that long to get your body adjusted and get the suits configured and everything ready to go so that you can go out and excuse the plan. the coordination during the space walk is just beautiful choreography. it's amazing to see the whole process and the huge team to get a space walk done. that's why you don't do it very often. >> you were a submariner, you're an astronaut. so you've gone to the depths of the ocean, here you are in space, i'm wondering what your views are on climate change. the weather from space might look beautiful, but we can't say the same down here. we've had catastrophic flooding, extreme heat, wildfires in florida. how should we as citizens of the planet respond to this
4:33 am
challenge? >> we live on a dynamic earth. people have started to realize the impact we all have. the impact of everything we do has on the planet and that dynamic sense, i think, is really what we're coming to grips with as we look out whether it be in the ocean or during my time in submarines looking at the northern reaches of the arctic and ash particular ice. and now looking at the wildfires in canada. that was impressive to see as we flew over ohio, the great lakes, new york, up over new england. you could see the smoke as it layered over new york and d.c. you could see the dividing line, which was interesting, a
4:34 am
low-pressure system with the rain in new england was keeping the wildfires south of them. that smoke south of of them. the realization we live on a dynamic earth is what as a civilization we're coming to grips with. >> we have to wrap it up there. no floating mic. that's okay. we got a lot of interesting info and perspective in the international space station. stephen bowen, thank you. i'm in awe we're able to connect 250 miles above earth. >> stephen, thank you. >> floating mic. there it is. he did it for us. yay! >> this is your happiness. >> i'm done for the day. back here on earth, really on grass on earth, chris eubanks will take the court to extend his wimbledon run. on the line a shot at the semifinals on tennis' grandest stage. 27-year-old eubanks, toiling in tennis' minor leagues in obscurity only months ago,
4:35 am
stunned fans by beating tsitsipas guaranteeing him $449,000 of prize money raising his career total to more than 20%. now he faces daniil medvedev. what the russian said about eubanks ahead of their match. >> he won an atp, his first title. here in the quarters beating stephanos in five sets. i need to be at my best tennis wise and mentally to try to beat him. >> joining us now, because he had so much fun yesterday and we did, too, so we had to bring him back tennis hall of famer mats wilander. for someone who has won grand titles, we talked about the mental element. he has flipped the switch.
4:36 am
how does he hold on to that going into this grand stage? >> yes, thanks for having me again. i remember, and i was much younger when i reached the quarterfinals in the french open in 1982. i was only 17 years old. that's irrelevant. you're heading into the unknown, so you always get the question, weren't you nervous? not at all early on because i don't know what happens if you win or lose in such a big stage. for chris eubanks, i think it's the same thing. he's just playing another top player. and also the style of game. he's in control of the points most of the time because he serves, he has a very hard serve. he's 6'7", hits the ball hard from the baseline. he comes to the net. so he asks his opponent a lot of questions, but he also has a lot of answers. but then he makes unforced errors. but he is in control, so i think he's sailing away. he's not going to space but he's a very, very tricky opponent. now daniil medvedev is so
4:37 am
cons consistent, doesn't make mistakes, has won a grand slam at the u.s. open. he runs better than most players, but he hasn't had great success on the grass court. so there's no advantage for him there. in fact, eubanks with nine matches in a row might actually feel like he has an advantage because he's got more grass court tennis. very difficult to pick, to be honest. >> eubanks, said don't underestimate me. maybe i will be going into space. >> could be. >> yes. >> look how far he's come given where he was. let's talk about ukrainian elina svitolina. she beat world number one ranked player to head to the semifinals. to add to that she is a new mom having just had her first child last october. that's incredible, and she spent a year away from the sport raising money to help with the war efforts in her country, inspiring was this victory. >> it's so inspiring. it's completely surprising,
4:38 am
actually, because she is playing better tennis now than she did before she had her daughter in october. and, i mean, i'm guessing the mental strength comes from starting a family, so losing is not such a big deal. you come home and your daughter doesn't know that you even play tennis. i do think the ukrainian situation, somehow she has figured out how to use that as a strength when she's playing matches. we have some other ukrainian women that have struggled with it and can't really compartmentalize the two, but she has. and iga swiatek, you have to put that in there, too, has done so much relief work for the ukrainian people. emotionally this match was nearly uncomfortable to watch. and then you realize that, no, these two are pros, and they are just playing tennis right now. it's a cinderella story. and she can go far. she can go further. she can win the title, elina svitolina. i cannot believe i'm saying that. >> amazing. i'm pulling for her. >> no question.
4:39 am
mats, ten seconds left. i have to ask you she said after the match her preparation for the next round would involve beer. would you suggest that as a tennis hall of famer? >> well, as a mom, i would suggest it, yeah. i don't know. the reason she's trying so hard is because she is more relaxed when she's on the court, whatever the is going on in her private life. i don't think one beer will hurt that much. >> whatever she's doing is work are for her. go have that beer and enjoy it. >> the same for chris eubanks. mats wilander, we appreciate it. just about an hour from now president biden and zelenskyy will hold a sitdown. they will soon announce new efforts to help ukraine in its fight. we will speak to jake sullivan ahead of that announcement so stay close. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 k key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva:a: think bigger.

4:43 am
4:44 am
we'll bring you that announcement live, but it likely won't touch on zelenskyy's request, when ukraine can join the nato alliance. joining us now national security adviser to president biden, jake sullivan. thank you for making time for us. i know how busy you are. first i want to ask you about this exchange at the nato public forum you had with the ukrainian activist. it was a tense exchange, and this activist was really questioning the decision by nato including the u.s. not to allow ukraine into nato right now until after the war is over and what the u.s. wants to see from ukraine and you spanneded that, look, you believe the u.s. and americans deserve more gratitude. was that a preview of what the president will convey to zelenskyy in the next hour, and does it highlight the tensions you're feeling and seeing on the ground? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me on.
4:45 am
greetings from vilnius. what i was trying to communicate in my answer to that activist was the basic reasoning for why nato, including the united states but all 31 allies were not prepared to admit ukraine into the nato at the summit. nato would be at war with russia today. it would mean that the united states would be at war with russia today and president biden and the other nato leaders were not prepared to do that because they did not see that as a reasonable step at this point. secondly, every member of nato has to meet certain reforms before coming into the eye lieians. ukraine has made reforms in the process. what the alliance said with one voice last night, we look forward to a future with ukraine and nato.
4:46 am
we will work with ukraine on the pathway to nato but are not prepared to invite ukraine today. president zelenskyy had a different view of that. president biden will be straightforward today with him as he has been in every phone conversation and meeting laying out his reasoning, his thinking, and hearing what president zelenskyy has to say. >> one of the frustrations from the ukrainian side, they understand the conflict piece of that. have you, have nato members detailed specifically the democratic and security sector reforms that would be nepdeded, they need to show to get an invitation? >> well, actually the way this process works, it's not just nato detailing to ukraine specific reforms, it's ukraine working with nato on what's called an annual national program. that sounds like kind of bureaucratic but what it fundamentally means is ukraine has a plan that is has authored
4:47 am
for the steps that it needs to take including in security sector reform, including in democratic reform, including in anti-corruption. so that's all detailed a national program in the communique. now that program gets updated. and what the communique says is that nato and ukraine will work together on a set of priority reforms to put a special emphasis on moving quickly in certain areas to improve the resilience of ukraine's democracy that will be a joint effort between nato and ukraine, and that's well built into the process of obtaining membership in nato. >> i want to ask you, because i think it seems like part of the frustration on the ukrainians' part and zelenskyy's part is the ambiguity of after the war. what does that look like? when will that be? some say, look, this war will never end. russia will not stop. they were annexing crimea years ago. they're not going to stop. they're going to continue. what does the end game look like in your view?
4:48 am
what does that time line look like? we're more than 500 days in now. >> look, i well understand ukraine's desire to be in nato as fast as possible. that is absolutely their right to seek admission and press for it and to advocate for it as president zelenskyy has done. every nato ally, including the united states, needs to look squarely at the fact admission to ukraine into nato at this yung tour means war with russia. that is an inescapable fact. do we have to wait until a certain time or day relative to the war? do certain conditions on the ground have to attain? we didn't put a mechanical formula down because war is dynamic. the situation is dynamic. nato needs to be able to have the flexibility working with ukraine on its pathway to make a determination about when down the road it makes sense to admit them. in the meantime we're not just sitting around.
