that's what i thought. introducing the next generation 10g network. only from xfinity.

a new strike in crimea is taking out critical in infras infrastructure, and crimean forces is taking out a key bridge and vital to the military, and large chunks of that bridge are now at the bottom of the sea. >> and now, global impacts of hunger could now be grave. at least five people are dead after the torrential rain. and yet, heat is melting other parts of the united states. the extreme weather that won't quit. i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. this is cnn "news central." happening right now, the russian officials are assessing the damage to a bridge in crimea critical to the military after the ukrainian officials attacked

the bridge overnight. this morning, ukraine is saying that it is part of the joint operation. the kirsch bridge is the only link between the peninsula and russia s and vital crossing for moscow to link to the troops as they fight in ukraine and also critical to provide crimea with goods. there is also severe damage to the road partially collapsed and the tracks running parallel to the road are in tact. i want to bring in alex marquardt who is there next to the sea, and that is a critical target for russia, and what might this be for their ability to perform in that area? >> well, it could significantly impair their ability to get people across to get food and fuel and military equipment. they have a number of other ways, the railway that you

mentioned and now by land, because of the land bridge that they occupied early in the war, but sara, no doubt, this is an extraordinary attack by crimea. putin annexed crimea in 2014, and he ordered that the bridge be built, and he personally drove across it in a truck. and so it is a blow to russia, because it is supplying the crimea peninsula and also what it represents. significant damage to the roadway. two lanes of roads, and we have seen it both in video and on photos in the social video of the trails that appear to be running, but they are running on the delayed schedule. ukraine is taking responsibility saying a joint claim of responsibility from ukraine and

the navy services. it is rare responsibility after these attacks. russia is saying it is a terrorist attack and happened at 3:00 in the morning and they used sea or surface drones coming nine months after after similar attack on the same bridge which took months to repair. so we wait to see what the russian response is, and of course, it could be significant after that last attack, and we saw the missile strikes after the war began in february of 2022. sara? >> thank you, alex marquardt reporting from odessa, ukraine. john? >> perhaps connected to this, russia is going to terminate a year-long deal that allows ukraine to exfort grain. the kremlin is no longer to guarantee safe passage through the black sea and through the

strait to the market. the u.n. has estimated that blocking ukrainian grain could have food insecurity for millions. and the white house said that food insecurity is going to be heightened because of this society. now, this an agreement in place, and it is a strange outcropping of the conflict in the last year, and now russia says no more. >> yeah, exactly. this is not entirely unexpected, because signs in the last few days and weeks that it is not going in a good direction. one diplomat said that the russians were not going to renew this deal, and obviously, that has turned out to be true, and yet the white house reaction and plenty of reaction to the western world that the eu is calling it cynical, and the dutch foreign minister is calling it utterly immoral, and then john, they say that the u.n. is not living up to their

end of the bargain, and allowing the ukrainian grain to the black market and it is supposed to get help to the united nations, and the fertilizer to market, and there are no sanctions on the russian grain and fertilizer, and plenty of sanctions on the russian bankbanks, and so that complicated payment part of this, and one of the key demands that the russians had was access to the payment mechanisms and the u.n. had offered access for the russian agricultural bank and this is rejected. the u.n. says it will continue the work the find a deal, but they are acknowledging that according to one official that the russian position is pretty final. the russians say they will, though, go back to the deal if their conditions are actually met, and whether or not this is going to have anything to do with the carriage bridge explosion, and demetri, the

spokesman, was asked about this, and he said unrelated events. this position was declared by president putin, and as soon as the black sea agreements are fulfilled, russia will return to the implementation of the deal. and we will probably see the turkish president resip erdogan to try to help in this. >> thank you. kate? >> an adjunct professor at georgetown university and also amba ambassador for the united nations, how does this help

putin with this grain deal? >> in a way it does not help him, because there is a u.n. report coming out that 30% of the world population does not have access to enough food. so you could say it is going to hurt russia, but at the same time, russia has been romancing diplomatically a lot of the developing countries, especially in africa to say that we are on your side, and it is the big rich countries that are not, and trying to insulate themselves, but it is a move that could backfire, but it is all part of this war where, in ukraine, and it is not just the military fighting, but it is the economic and other issues that are affecting entire world. >> yes, and i mean, because the impact of the decision, it really does go way beyond ukraine. you are talking about what are the estimates of the u.n., and the ripple effects of cutting off the ukraine grain exports,

it really is huge. >> oh, it is. you have developing countries, and primarily africa, middle east, who need this food. eventually it is going to get out, but it is difficult to ship it out by rail or by land. so, they are going to suffer, and then you this is the time that the harvest is beginning, you know, in ukraine, and so that is another factor. then you have around the world global warming and crops being hit, and this is going to be very bad, and then for developing countries, and wheat prices and grain prices to go up, and so it could potentially hit everybody. >> i wanted to ask you about the attack on the ukrainian bridge, and the fact that ukraine has taken the rare step to speak up and claim responsibility there, and why would ukraine step up to

raise their hand on this one? >> that is an interesting question, but they have increasingly made the point that ukraine believes that it is a military target. russia, specifically said that it is a civilian target because our tourists are going into crimea, and this is what is happening, the people killed are average people to be targeted, and this is ukraine to step up and say, we did this and it is for a reason. but as alex said, they are usually coy about it. >> and why does this bridge mean so much to vladimir putin? what does this represent? alex was laying out some of the history of seeing putin himself leading a convey of the trucks

over the bridge when it was first constructed, and why does it mean so much to him? >> well, physically, it means a whole lot. because if you are looking at the alternate roots to get to kcry mia, but if you can use tht bridge, it is much easier. so it is a gigantic project that cost an estimated $4 billion and actually there is a movie made of it, and propaganda movie like, "romance" or some basically a rom-com of the couple crossing the bridge. it is part of the folklore, and having that happen is just really, you know, propaganda-wise, it is really glowing, i would say to putin. >> which leads then to the

unknown which right now which is how is putin going to respond to this. it is good to see you as always, jill. thank you. sara? >> ahead, a manhunt for the gunman who killed four people in georgia ends in a shootout. details on that ahead. and senator joe manchin is stoking speculation about the future politically as he stokes a possibility of a third presidential run. we will talk about that. and there could be new hope for people living with alzheimer's disease. much more ahead. you can cashback 3% on dining including take-out. cashback on flapjacks, baby backs, or the tacos at thehe taco shack. nah, i'm working on my six pack. well, good luck wiwith that. earn big with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback?

the jackpot rolled over after nobody matched all six numbers, and that is how it worked. it is not the only game with a massive pay off, because the mega millions is a mere $600 million. john? >> i would still come to work. >> sure. >> and now, with an event and what it may signify as joe manchin is considering running a third-party candidate in the race, and pushing a unity ticket, one democrat, and one republican. we are following development, and honestly, you don't have to listen to many national level democrats to hear alarm at what is going on today. >> that is exactly right, john. manchin's appearance at the no labels new hampshire town hall has a lot of the democrats on

edge. manchin has not announced if he is running for re-election for the senate seat, and he has not ruled out a potential presidential bid, and that is raising alarm bells among the democrat, because they are worried that a third-party candidate would draw support away from biden and tip the scales to former president trump or another republican nominee. he is going to be appearing alongside former utah governor jon huntsman, and someone that manchin considers a friend. and also, manchin has been associated with this group, "no labels" for years, and he is a former honorary co-chair, and he believes in the message of bipartisanship, and the effort to put together a more centrist candidate. manchin's democratic colleagues in the senate do not agree with him, and they believe it is a threat to land a republican in the white house next year, and

similar comments echoed by mark kelly yesterday with jay tapper. >> i don't believe that our democracy should be concerned with dark money, and i am concerned with that and the democracy across the country. >> i should point out some of the joe manchin's motivations to appear here at this event, because he could raise a ton of money from this group, if the donor believe he could run for the money, and this going to keep him in the spotlight, and covering him for years, i can tell you that he is going to love this to fuel a election bid if he decides to run again next year, and finally joe manchin uses word bipartisanship like a

verb. so there is a lot of upside for him doing this event and not a lot of downside. john? >> the downside is for the democratic party and president biden's chances for re-election, but it is something that we will discuss going forward. thank you. kate. >> evangelical leaders will be hosting the republican candidates to make their pitch. today, ron desantis will be speaking, and nikki haley, former ambassador, and also, former vice president mike pence, and notably not attending is former president donald trump. so, kristen holmes, what is happening there today, and why isn't trump showing up? >> good morning, kate. i wanted to apologize starting off, but i am going to be speaking softly, and i don't know if you can tell from the shot, but it is a small room,

and very quiet right now, and we don't want to be rude. but as you noted that donald trump is not going to be here today, and the reason is because he has not been invited. he has been invited in years past, but it is significant given that he did not turn up to a large evangelical event friday and one that he was invited to but did not show up because of a scheduling event, and this is what i was told that he does not want to do these large scale events. the evangelical community is a cornerstone of the republican politic, and group that is sought after, and propels the candidates to nominee and to eventually win the white house, and also a group, when you talking to some of the campaign strategists who are not with donald trump, they believe they can make inroads in this community, and group that is looking for altertive to donald trump, and people are making the

pitch for them to be the alternative. kate, the thing is that he is still wildly popular for the party frontrunner for the nomination, but this is a case for the candidates to make a case to appeal to a critical group, and it is coming at a time when trump, himself, snubbed them friday. that is what we are hearing from evangelicals at the event, and some of the candidates saying. that is something important happening, but we will keep the ear to the ground of what the voters are saying, and the candidates. >> absolutely. thank you, kristen. glad you are there. thank you so much. sara? >> joining us to about this, and the state of the race, is cnn political anchor and correspondent errol louis. so we will pick up where kristen holmes left off at the

evangelical summit. they are telling the flock that you need to start focusing on one candidate other than donald trump, and what are we hearing here? even the evangelicals are saying, hey, trump may not be the guy. >> yes, and keep in mind, that the evangelicals and the voters in iowa did not give trump the first place finish in 2016, so he is on the outs with it. and the republican leadership is the elected grouped like the federalist society, and other groups where trump is not in line with the evangelical society, and he takes great credit for the supreme court justices who gave them the big dobbs win. so it is politics and you to tussle a little bit, but he is polling so well in iowa, he may not need their help, and that is

what they are trying to negotiate here. >> speaking of the polling, donald trump has not made up his mind to join the debates with the challenges, and who does that help or hurt? >> there is a group called the fox news empire, and fox is not too friendly with them, and they are not friendly with him. >> that is a big change. >> right. they have grown disillusioned with him. and then he says, why do i lift them up, because if i come there, they are going to attack me, and knives there in my back. that is what they have to do, and especially chris christie, and he has signaled that the stategy to get hymn to debate page and attack him. and who is going to sign up for that? donald trump says is maybe it is not worth my time. >> and attacking the decisions.

and i wanted to ask you about who is in second place, ron desantis basically putting out what kind of money he has the war chest, but he is burning through it. what is happening with him? he was the heir apparent, people thought. >> yes, that is right. there is some disillusionment, and he is spending 40 cents of every dollar that he is raising, and that a quick burn rate. they have announced to trim some staff and shake-up at the top of the leadership, and that is what you do. if you start out at 30% in the polls, and spend 30% of the dollars and you are lower in the polls, you can see the high profile donor talking to tim scott and other candidates. so he started out in a good position, and wobbling a little. by we will see if he can get back on his feet. >> we will be watching that.

a lot of people are going to be watching that. >> let me ask you about conservative democrat joe manchin having the leadership meeting with the "no label" group, and what does that tell you? is he looking at a possibility of being a candidate here? >> yes, he is looking for leverage, and now in legislative process he has done this, and now in the political split, everyone comes to where you are and will you lend your support to one size or another. i think that however, the "no labels" efforts is going to chart a new path forward, and so the fresh face of 75-year-old joe manchin is supposed to be if future of american polipolitics?

i don't think so. this is more of a political play by joe manchin. >> a political ploy, but if he took that step, what would that mean? and why should democrats be concerned about it? >> well, democratic candidates should be concerned and they are. we have had some close elections were decided by tens of thoud sands of people spread across the state, and it is the peculiarity of our le electronic vo votes whether it is in wisconsin or georgia, it is going to spell the difference between the high leverage point, and no labels is going to wait and see what develops, but it is a valid concern for democrats. >> we will have to wait to see what happens. thank you, errol louis. >> sure. and now, the global

xfinity rewards creates experiences big and small, and once-in-a-lifetime. wheat prices are on the rise after russia has announced that

grain deal with ukraine has been terminated. it was reached last year with long negotiations between the u.n. and turkey and allowed the grain to go through the black sea, a key access point, but now it is in huge question, and the world's grain supply is in question as well. claire sebastian is joining us now. what is the impact on the pricing so far you are seeing? >> we are look at the wheat futures up 3%, and corn the biggest export under the grain initiative is up one percent as well. the futures prices is important, because it is not just about the supply, and it is the grain initiative exported some 33 million metric tons of ukrainian exports. in june, there were some 21%,

and if you are stripping out the cereals and vegetable oils, which the ukrainian region is exporting the world's supply of vegetable oils. so there is a stunning reversal of the trends, and they are coming off of the highs and the other is the supply, and they account for the big exporter of the sunflower oil, and the world had relied on ukraine for the half supply of the aid to developing countries, and so this is a key concern, and the reason that we are monitoring whether or not russia will reverse the decision. >> thank you, clare, for that

prevalent in the east and southeast parts of the country. the counties that are most affected are miami-dade, baltimore and the bronx. researchers say it is important for planning and allocation of the resources. they say that reasons that the counties there are hit harder is the higher percentage of the people living there, and the black and hispanic folks living there where we vsee a higher percentage of alzheimer's. >> thank you, meg tirrell. and now, the worst flooding in vermont with 17 days of at or above 100 degrees. bill weir is here to help us understand how to make sense of this. and now a woman is back with her family in california and what the investigators are saying what she lived through. that is ahead.
