11:01 pm
just ahead on cnn newsroom. extreme weather across the u.s., deadly flooding in the northeast and a record setting heat wave to the west with no relief in sight. records also set in europe as tourism season reaches its peak. we are live in rome with how the agent city is dealing with a modern threat. we will talk with the author of a best-selling book examining the case from the very beginning. why he says the police were so quick at first to dismiss the young female victims. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom. we begin with extreme weather around the world starting here in the u.s. more than 80 million people are under heat alerts in 14 states
11:02 pm
stretching from washington all the way to florida. a dangerous he film remains locked down over the western u.s. and the relentless blistering temperatures are breaking records by the day. the national weather service says 3000 daily high temperature records were broken on sunday and parts of california, nevada and arizona are seeing the mercury shoot well past 100 degrees fahrenheit. people in southern europe are also sweltering with a scorching heat wave coming in the middle of the busy summer tourist season. in the spanish island, a forest fire is making matters worse. forcing at least 4000 to evacuate. in italy at least one person has died and several tourists have collapsed from the heat. 16 cities including rome and florence are under extreme health risks because of the heat
11:03 pm
and people in france, greece, turkey, croatia and spain are facing dangerous high temperatures. we are joined live from rome. what is the latest on this record heat hitting italy and other parts of europe? >> reporter: here in rome we are expecting temperatures to rise today and tomorrow. they are warning people that we could break a record, just set last year in rome. 40.7. we are seeing the same warnings in southern italy, in sicily. they are looking at topping the all-time european record which is 48 set last year as well. we have seen this continuation of the rise in temperatures. these tourists, their trips are
11:04 pm
planned and they are not changing their plans. >> here in the u.s. the elderly and other vulnerable citizens are often advised to seek out air-conditioned centers for relief from the heat. what are citizens across italy being told to do at this time? >> you have to remember, people from the mediterranean region know how to deal with the heat. the heat is common. it is a little bit extreme but people understand, they are smarter than the tourist in a lot of ways, they are not out running around during the heat of the day. we do not have air conditioning centers in italy but there are places air-conditioned, shopping malls and stores. air conditioning is becoming more and more common in places like rome and florence and
11:05 pm
things like that. people know how to deal with the heat, it is the tourist's that are the problem, they are out during the heat of the day during the hottest times. we have seen people lining up in the roman coliseum. i guarantee there are no italians among them. of course elderly people, people with respiratory problems, they are being cared for but health services are very good with those people making sure everybody has access to that healthcare. again it is the tourist the authorities are worried about because they are not taking the advice seriously. >> joining live from rome, many thanks. it appears the massive heat wave in the u.s. has a firm grip on conditions for the next week. brandon and miller tells us if there is any sign of relief in sight. >> the question everybody wants to know is when will the heat
11:06 pm
wave in the southwest break and the answer is no time soon. the of of average temperatures, if we put this into motion through the work week, monday through thursday, they just expand. the high pressure that has been here over the four corners region just drifts but the heat down stays massive and it blocks any of the wind and rain that could cool things off and things will stay 10-15 degrees above average fahrenheit for the next at least week. we are talking the hottest times of the year. take the hottest time of the year and add 10-15 degrees fahrenheit. nearly every day this week in phoenix will be a record high. that is scary and what is scarier are the lows, 94, 94, 95.
11:07 pm
those would be in the top 5-10 hottest nights phoenix has ever had and we have 7 in a row. it has been since last saturday when the load dropped below 90. we are setting records everywhere. las vegas with more of the same, setting a record and staying above 110 all week long. lows not dropping down where they should be, that is where heat turns deadly. the next several days here, going through next weekend, if you are in the northern plains or the northeast, you have been dealing with a lot of rain and smoke from the canadian wildfires. you are at least staying out of the record heat wave that shows no signs of breaking in the u.s. >> as brandon just mentioned, in the northeast u.s., it is not excessive heat but too much rain all at once.
11:08 pm
authorities in pennsylvania are searching for a two year old and a infant that disappeared in flash flooding. the children's mother and for others died in the flooding. the storms put major airports on ground stop sunday afternoon. conditions forced airlines to cancel 2000 u.s. flights since early sunday according to flight aware. to asia, authorities in south korea say 40 people have now died from flash floods and landslides. 9 are still missing. what you are seeing is one of the most concentrated disaster areas, a flooded underpass. emergency workers recovered the bodies of 13 people who died after several cars and a bus were trapped there. more dangerous weather is headed for east asia. the tropical storm has strengthened into a typhoon in

the south china sea. 120 mile-per-hour winds, equivalent to a category 1 atlantic hurricane. it is expected to make landfall in southern china in 24 hours. forecasters warned that heavy rainfall can trigger flash flooding and landslides. the u.s. climate envoy is in beijing with talks for his chinese counterpart. china and the u.s. are the world's largest carbon polluters and the backdrop for their talks could not be more appropriate. they are meeting in china's capital during the city's hottest ever recorded summer. we are joined from hong kong with more. what does john and his team hope to achieve during this beijing trip on climate change? >> there is real commitment on both sides to get omentum back
11:10 pm
on track regarding climate talks. john just wrapped up a four hour meeting with his chinese counterpart. we are waiting for readouts from both sides but the length suggests that they had a lot to discuss. china and the u.s. other worlds to largest economies and they are also the largest emitters accounting for 40% of the world's emissions. there needs to be coordination and a effort to cut production to lead the world by example. talks came to a standstill last august after the house speaker visited taiwan. as we have seen, there has been a slew of high-level u.s. and chinese meetings in the last month to improve the bilateral relationship starting with the secretary of state, then the treasury and now the climate

envoy. they have a history, they worked in 2021 together. they made some real progress. they met on the sidelines last year. january this year, they had a video talk. it suggests that communications continue despite strained relations. this face-to-face meeting is important. it is about resuming the working group on climate coordination before november in dubai. it is important to make progress in the next four months. he sat in the next three days we hope we can begin taking big steps that will send a signal to the world about the serious purpose of china and the u.s. to address a common risk to all

11:19 pm
the governor of russia's near region says girl was injured and her parents were killed in the explosions. the last ukrainian ship protected under the grain deal has left the port of odessa. that deal will expire later today unless russia extends it. the president complained the agreement is unfair to russia but he still agreed to previous extensions despite threatening to pull out of the deal. the un offered russia some financial concessions but it is unclear if russia will accept them this time. we are tracking all of this from london. we are joined live. what more are you learning about these explosions hitting the bridge? russia calling it a emergency situation.
11:20 pm
>> again we have unconfirmed reports that there were 2 explosions 6 hours ago. they were about 15 minutes apart or so. we have not gotten official confirmation. the ministry of transport confirmed that the bridge has been damaged. officials right now are inspecting the bridge. they also confirmed that there were ukrainian drone attacks on the other side of the peninsula. not near the bridge but there has been incoming overnight. the ukrainians have not taken responsibility for either but ukrainian intelligence has said that it will make it more difficult for the russians on the battlefield. they also said that the bridge
11:21 pm
is a unstable structure. of course it is not only strategically important for russians to get supplies but potentially for the war effort as well but it is also symbolically important, it is the only link between russia and the illegally annexed territory taken by the russians in 2014. vladimir putin himself was on hand for the official opening driving across it himself. it has also been targeted before. earlier this month the russians say it intercepted a ukrainian cruise missile causing the bridge to be closed for some time and causing traffic backlogs. in october last year a truck carrying explosives detonating on the bridge causing huge damage. it was in december that vladimir putin personally visited the bridge to oversee the reconstruction.
11:22 pm
the train part of the bridge reopened last month. now there will be more problems getting across the bridge. the extent of the damage we still do not know. >> what is the latest on the grain deal set to expire at midnight monday and how likely is it that russia will renew the agreement? >> things are not looking good. last month a ukrainian diplomat said she was 99% sure that russia would not renew the deal. it helped to stabilize global food prices because ukraine is such a big exporter of grain. on saturday vladimir putin told the south african president that the deal has not lived up to the objectives. the crux of the deal is that russia allows free passage of ukrainian grain to get out of the country in exchange for
11:23 pm
help from the un to help its grain and fertilizer get to market. the russian grain and fertilizer is not subject to international sanctions but complicating things is that russian banks are sanctioned. the un has offered to connect one bank or remove barriers for the agricultural bank. it is not clear if the russians are in a mood to accept the kind of deal. the ball is in their court. of course ukraine has other options to get out of the country but the difficulty going via rail through europe is the gauge of the tracks in ukraine and europe are different so it causes a logistical issue to transfer the cargo from one train to the other once it gets to the border. still to come, a suspect arrested and charged in the

a top investigator on the long unsolved case of the yoga beach murders says it is possible there may be more the architect is charged with the murders of three women over a decade ago. he was arrested thursday in midtown manhattan 40 miles from where the victims remains were discovered in 2010. he has pleaded not guilty. the case is tied to 10 sets of human remains found in the area. he is also the prime suspect in a 4th murder. when official says his alleged acts are the worst he had ever seen. >> i knew this person was a demon. the fact that we are able to bring closure and peace to the families as well as take a
11:29 pm
violent person off of the streets is rewarding. >> joining from both elaine is robert, the new york times best- selling author of lost girls. a unsolved american mystery about the yoga beach murders. thank you for joining us. you have followed the beach killings for more than a decade. you also wrote a book about the case. what was your reaction to news on friday that a arrest was made of a suspect in this case 16 years after multiple women were found dead in the area? >> it is a stunning development. what people unfamiliar with the case need to understand is that it has been 12 years with no declared persons of interest, no suspects, no arrests and barely a peep from the police
11:30 pm
or authorities except to identify another victim or releasing a small piece of evidence for information. now suddenly to have this, a suspect who has been hiding in plain sight the entire time with 92 gun permits, it is stunning. >> let's look at that, we are looking at the photograph of rex, he is held without bail after pleading not guilty. he appears to have been living in plain sight in a long island town not far from where the bodies were found. why do you think it took so long to find the suspect, a family man that is well educated with a high profile job? >> he fits the profile in so many ways, he lives in a centrally located town on long island. he commutes to manhattan which
11:31 pm
is where some of the cell phone signals got pings from. on the other hand, he has a public facing job. where he is very visible. dealing with architecture clients all the time. so it is hard to imagine somebody like that thinking they can stay below the radar forever. the fact that he did force so long has are being thing to do with problems with the suffolk county police, the da, institutional apathy about the case from the beginning. cooperation problems with the fbi and frankly there was a long period where there was corruption keeping the fbi out of the case. >> i wanted to ask why these women were viewed by the public as prostitutes and worthless from the beginning and what changed that perception over the years?
11:32 pm
>> in my book lost girls i try not to just profile the women that were victims but also the families. it is a portrait of 5 families. all families that were in crisis in different ways, in parts of america where financial opportunities have been dwindling for generations. then a institution provides a irresistible way to make money for people that otherwise are going nowhere in their lives so it was a tool of social mobility for these women. the problem is our society made them vulnerable. they were overlooked when they went missing. their disappearances were not taken seriously by the authorities. some of them never got on the official registry of missing persons because they were escorts. once the bodies were found the police did not want to take the
11:33 pm
case seriously or as much as they would have if they were college students were corporate employees. they told the public it was a consolation that the killer was only targeting women like this. it is a textbook case on why women like this are overlooked. it was a tragedy back then and it is a positive development that things have changed. >> why did you decide to write about the case in your book lost girls, a best seller that was later adapted into a movie? >> i think the best true crime books do not just offer thrills and plot twists, they left the veil on a part of society you may never get to see otherwise. the thing about crime stories is that world collide in crime
11:34 pm
stories. the rich and poor, law enforcement against people living off the grid and we learn something about ourselves as a society. lost girls is a social issues book as much as it is a crime story and mostly it is a book about families and people that have become vulnerable and why they have become vulnerable. >> thank you for joining us and shining light on this. we appreciate it. in georgia a gun man accused of fatally shooting 4 in a atlanta suburb was killed in a shootout with police. authorities say andrc died during a confrontation sunday that left two officers injured. the shooting saturday sparked a manhunt across north georgia. the motive is still unclear but officials say the gunman was not related to any of the victims. still to come, new economic data out of beijing shows a bounce back from the pandemic

new data out of beijing so china's economy slows to less than 1% growth in the 2nd quarter. the bureau of statistics released those figures hours ago. here is a look at the asian markets, all arose in negative territory. the slow down comes after a better showing at the start of the year. beijing showed more than 2% growth in the first word quarter when the economy began to shake off the effects of pandemic restrictions that the recovery weakly faltered as chinese exports fell due to lower demand. kristi joins me from hong kong. good to see you. walk us through the data and
11:39 pm
what it says about the pace of china's economic recovery. >> china's economic growth is losing momentum. stronger if compared to last year when lockdowns gripped the country but the pace of the economic recovery slowed and adding to the negative economic picture, we learned that the youth unemployment rate has hit another record high of 21% in june. so the pressure is on beijing to roll out stimulus measures. according to official data released earlier today, the gdp grew 6% from the second word quarter but it only grew .8% from june. the data suggests that china's post pandemic boom is over. the indicators are up from
11:40 pm
may's numbers but still paint a picture of a bleak and faltering recovery and at the same time youth unemployment is hitting record highs. china is counting the cost of week demand. chinese exports fell at the fastest pace in june and a additional factor is the scarring effects of zero covert. the time of deep uncertainty which cost services and businesses to save more. looking ahead, investors and economists are looking towards this expected meeting taking place at the end of the month. the government has promised to make stimulating consumer spending a top priority. in just a few hours tickets go on sale for select dates of careless swifts uk tour.

amid a push from unions representing actors, writers and others that have gone on strike. the actors union joined the writers guild of america on the picket lines last week adding thousands more voices to the cause. they are fighting the major movie studios and streaming platforms for better pay, residuals, benefits and protections over the use of artificial intelligence. the group representing the studio says they already offered a new deal. a claim that the union refuted. for more i am joined by the national executive director and chief negotiator for the union. thank you for joining us. at the center of this strike is the disparity in pay and access
11:47 pm
to streaming profits, reduced residuals and concerns about the negative impact of artificial intelligence on the industry. let's focus on the last issue, what are the main concerns for actors and writers on how ai might negatively impact the industry? >> it is a question of their personal rights, it is a question that resonates with all of us, the idea that a corporation could essentially use their economic power to force you to give them the right to control your image, likeness, voice and create digital replicas of you and have that digital double act as if it is you. that is the kind of technological development that needs fences around it, the fences are straightforward. informed consent, any person
11:48 pm
has the right to understand what the use is going to be in consent to it and fair compensation but we have not been able to get the companies step up and agree to consent and compensation. >> what proposal was offered by the tv and film studios to help limit the use of ai and why did writers and actors reject the proposal. >> i was not a part of the negotiations but according to the writers negotiations was a annual meeting to discuss the issues. we had very specific proposals on the table and the companies responded but the devil is in the details. in one proposal they responded by saying that background performance can be engaged to
11:49 pm
work for one day and the company would on the digital replicas of them and use it in any future project for eternity with no additional consent or compensation. that is not the kind of deal any performer would accept. >> the tv and film studios said they offered the highest pay increase in 35 years, residual increases and this proposal we discussed to limit the impact of artificial intelligence but clearly you the actors and writers do not agree, what would a acceptable deal look like that would address all of your concerns if you can break it down. >> we already talked about ai, when we talk about compensation, what is on the table is a 11% increase in the first year. they are offering 5%.
11:50 pm
5% leaves are members working for less in 2023 in real dollar terms than they made in 2020 and their proposal package leaves them earning less and 2026 then they made in 2020. our members do not think it is okay to go backwards when they are the faces in the voices of the projects that make the business operate. the streaming platforms would not exist and the studios would not exist. it is not fair well ceos compensation continues to go up that are members fall behind. a 5% increase is not something they should be trumpeting as the historic increase in 35 years, if that is the greatest increase that says something about you. >> these tv and movie studios said they cannot afford any more than this, what would you say to them on that point?
11:51 pm
>> i wish i could show you a chart of ceo compensation, we are talking 8-9 figure salaries. if you can afford to pay your ceo one year more than the entirety writers and actors requests combined that covers tens of thousands of performers, that says something about your company. the times are changing. workers are not willing to listen to companies say we cannot afford it while at the same time they have ceos with multiple yachts. that is not how the industry should operate and the creativity of our members is why the industry functions and it is the only way it will be successful in the future. to have creative people treated respectfully and fairly. >> very quickly, we know there is a lot of material they can keep using over and over again, how long could the writers and
11:52 pm
actors go on strike for? >> the strike should not have been necessary, we said we are ready to go back tomorrow. the studios are the ones saying they are not willing to talk. our members voted 90% to authorize the strike and they say they will strike as long as it takes. they will not accept a deal that is not fair and does not respect them. a u.s. democratic congresswoman is facing backlash after she called israel a racist state during a event over the weekend. >> we have been fighting to make it clear that israel is a racist state and the palestinian people deserve self- determination and autonomy. that the dream of a two state
11:53 pm
solution is slipping away from us. that it does not even feel possible. >> house democrats were quick to condemn her comments and she issued a apology sunday. words do matter, it is important to clarify my status i do not believe that israel as a nation is racist. these are not easy conversations but they are important if we move forward. i offer my apologies to those that i hurt with my words. just over an hour from now, the is really a minister will share a weekly cabinet meeting one day after being released from the hospital. he was admitted saturday for what doctors say is dehydration amid a ongoing heat wave. his office says the prime minister complained of dizziness before being admitted.
11:54 pm
they say he completed a series of tests and is in excellent condition. a kidnapped american is back on u.s. soil eight months after she was snatched from a street in mexico. the fbi says she was walking her dog in mexico when she was kidnapped. the professional photographer was targeted. mike is in la with the latest. >> reporter: we note this is the culmination of 227 days of teamwork between the fbi, the department of homeland security in the state department to bring monica back home. when we are talking about who is behind the missing and kidnapping flyers sent out, monica is a profoundly talented photographer. she took a job in mexico last summer to work on a few projects according to her family members.
11:55 pm
so we moved to a few days after inks giving last year and she is in the middle of the street in a beautiful town in mexico walking her dog. she is abducted. the fbi says there are at least 5 that kidnap her, 3 vehicles that come up next to her and then drive away. i imagine her family going to the holiday season and into this year without knowing where she is and the captors demanding a ransom and thebi saying this was targeted. they were simply beside themselves until this weekend when the fbi releasea statement saying she had been released writing in part according to t leader of the fbi, our relief and joy at the safe return of monica is profound, the investigation is far from over but now we can work this case knowing a
11:56 pm
innocent victim is reunited with her family. something from the statement between the lines is that the fbi is also saying that suspects have not been identified. that is one of the reasons why the investigation continues. they also say no arrests have been made. certainly the most important part of the entire case is that monica is back with family in california. a reunion they were hoping for has come to fruition. cnn, los angeles. a update on a story we are following week guarding a bridge connecting crimea to the russian mainland. we told you earlier how the transport ministry said the bridge suffered damage to the stands, this is the first video we received that appears to show it. multiple telegram channels
11:57 pm
reported strikes on the bridge and a local official confirmed at least 2 deaths. ukraine has not confirmed that launched a strike. the russia appointed head of crimea says a emergency incident has halted traffic on the bridge. it serves as a logistical node for moscow's military in the war against ukraine. we will have more in the next hour of cnn newsroom. thank you for your company, i will be back with more on cnn newsroom just after this short break. friends that bike togegether. hike togogether! with goats. can't wait to see what tomorrow brings, here in the middle of everything! introducing the limited edition disney collection from blendjet. nine exciting designs your whole family will adore blendjet 2 is portable, which means you can blend up nutritious smoothies, protein shes, or frozen treats, just about anywhere! recharge qckly via usb-c.
