states and corporations that are causing the problem. and they're making record profits right now and so know signs of changing that business model. it is interesting. people don't pick gas stations are fuel our lives right now because we're so dependant on these things. but the clean options are there in droves. and so economical it is outstripping fossil fuels. it shows how fast it can flip over. the more stuff we burn, the hotter it is going to get. >> you always open our eyes. >> i hope so. >> you all do. hello and a warm welcome to our viewers in the united states
1:01 am
and all around the world. i'm christina macfarlane in for max and bianca. just ahead on "cnn newsroom" -- >> more record-breaking heat expected across the southwest and more rainfall where we don't need it in the northeast. >> our increase in patients admitted with heat and humidity illness has skyrocketed. >> most of the grain being shipped out of this odesa port, one could understand that this city has major significance and could be one of the main targets for a russian reprisal. you can't stay in extreme left or extreme right. >> i don't think trump makes it to the finish line. he will be so entangled in legal problems that he doesn't make it that far. >> live thfrom london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo.
1:02 am
it is tuesday, july 18, 9:00 a.m. in london, 4:00 a.m. in new york. and we begin with extreme weather in the united states. 65 million people under heat alerts from florida to california as far north as kansas, plus millions more under flood watches. forecasters warn record high temperatures will continue the next few days as a heat dome scorches the southwest. and that intense heat is spreading as far east as mississippi. the same heat dome is bringing the threat of more flooding further north. heavy rain is expected today from st. louis to nashville and 3 million people are under flood watches in new york and new england. phoenix, arizona is ground zero for the heatwave toppi p ping 1r 18 consecutive degrees. there are cooling centers and a
1:03 am
mobile unit is delivering hats and sunscreen. >> some people get to the point where they are no longer sweating, they are lightheaded, dizzy, feeling poorly. and some people even have temperatures, we've had someone up to 110 degrees which is not oftentimeses very fatal or certainly life-changing. death valley in california hit 132 degrees farenheit or 55 degrees celsius on monday. and chad myers has more now on what we can expect later today. >> more oppressive heat across the southwest with the heat dome right where it has been for the past couple of weeks. record-breaking highs likely across the southwest. now, there will be a bit of a break in the heat across parts of nebraska, kansas, oklahoma and even into north texas by thursday, but where it has been hot, it will stay hot. probably 100 to 150 possible record high temperatures broken just over the next few days in
1:04 am
the southwest. and that is why we have these warnings posted, they don't post these just because it is summer. it has to be some threshold above normal. and look at the threshold above normal for phoenix. you should be 107. you will be 118. so, yes, obviously you get to that threshold. it will be hot obviously in death valley, going to be hot in bakersfield, hot in palm springs. and that is where it has been and really hasn't looked like it will change for a long time. here is next week and it just says above average. notice in the northeast and east, significantly below average as we like to see some rainfall but not in the places that it will rain. again, more flood alerts into the northeast, vermont and new hampshire, with more and more rounds of showers. these are not the intense type of showers we saw last week that caused the significance flooding. the problem here with the watches is that there is no place for the water to soak in. 1 inch is just going to run off
1:05 am
and into the creeks and streams. also a fairly strong threat there across parts of the midwest southeast of st. louis as one or two bands rolls through nashville. this is just one computer model. things could spread out east or west, but just know that it is heat, it is humidity. when you get that type of weather out there, you can certainly get a lot of weather when it comes to very, very heavy rainfall. and that is what i think that we'll see in the east and then the continued hot weather in the west. southern europe is also looking at another day of scorching heat. spain, italy and greece are baking in temperatures well above normal. residents and tourists are looking for anyway to beat the heat. one climatologist compared the bubble of hot air in the region to a giant pizza oven. and it is sparking wildfires across greece and the canary islands. thousands have been evacuated as
1:06 am
nearly 5,000 hectares have bushed. and barbie inadeau is joining u. could be the highest temperature ever in europe. >> reporter: that's right. this is extremely hot and there are a lot of people out here, a lot of tourists trying to enjoy their short periods of time in rome. and health ministry is saying don't be in direct sunlight between 11:00 and 6:00, try to stay inside. but that is when tourists want to go to museums, to churches, but we're not seeing that happen. the italian authorities have initiated a new protocol in the emergency rooms and things like that to deal with heat related emergencies. today is supposed to be the hottest day. and as you said, records might well be broken. it is hot already and it is not quite late in the day here. it is still morning. >> and looks very busy.
1:07 am
barbie nadeau, thanks. and first convoy of wagner military forces has arrived at an abandoned military base in belarus and two more are coming. cnn confirmed this through analysis of satellite images. but the whereabouts of the leader who staged the brief rebellion last month remains unknown. meanwhile in southern ukraine, russian forces have launched drone and missile strikes overnight against the black seaport city of odesa. this is after drones attacked a bridge and russia ended the grain deal. alex marquardt and his team witnessed what happened overnight in odesa. >> reporter: as what our cnn team has witnessed, a local military official saying that the air defense systems have been engaged in combat, that lines up with what we have seen, which is loud explosions in the
1:08 am
distance, spotlights in the skies, and bright streaks flying across the sky several times behind me. what exactly those are, we don't know. they could be drones that are being shot out of the sky or some kind of other air defense, but it is clear that the city is engaged in defending itself. >> clare sebastian is joining us to discuss. i want to get straight to the evidence we're seeing with wagner on the ground in belarus. it has been a month since the failed insurrection and this is the first evidence we're seeing of the military on the ground. >> first actual view of what we believe to be wagner fighters. i want to show you some of the image as to explaias to explain seeing. you can see that off-ramp from a highway heading into the military base. and there you can see a line of cars along that road through the middle of the picture.
1:09 am
we believe these are cars from the wagner military because our team was able to match them up with previous photos showing them stopped on a highway in russia flying wagner flags. what is striking about this one, the shear number of these vehicles. we think there is about 115 different vehicles in this convoy. and separately from that, we've been able to geo locate two more convoys showing them on highways in russia heading we believe toward belarus. and so this suggests that wagner fighters are building up their numbers at this previously abandoned camp in belarus. our team visited this camp a couple weeks ago and found there weren't any quagnerwagner fight there at that point. and belarus has said that wagner
1:10 am
is straintraining its forces. but even though vladimir putin says wagner doesn't exist, it hints at potentially now close to the ukrainian border. and also a destabilizing force in the region. >> yeah, significant developments and of course we'll keep cross these new images and anything more we see coming in. elsewhere, what more do we know of the damage caused overnight and continuing fallout from russia's retreat from the grain deal? >> yeah, on odesa, i think ukraine is interpreting it as revenge for the attack on the bridge. odesa is one of the three ports included in the grain deal. and six missiles were launched and they say that they shot them down along with the drones.
1:11 am
damages were reported to private homes. one man hospitalized. so a relatively large attack although most of it appears to be thwarted. but it speaks to not only the ongoing pattern of attacks but also potentially the revenge that putin hinted at on monday for the attack on the kerch bridge. of course russia has left the door open to potentially rejoining they say if their conditions are met, but we didn't know exactly what the threshold of that would be. >> and interesting to see the ships continue. clare, thank you very much. we're following two major developments into the investigation into donald trump. in georgia the supreme court dismissed the former president's effort to shut down the fulton county investigation into his attempt to overturn the 2020 results in that state. the court unanimously ruled had
1:12 am
trump hasn't demonstrated the extraordinary circumstances that would require his intervention. charging decisions are expected soon. and in florida the trump appointed judge wants to discuss the trial date for the classified documents case later today. paula reid picks up the story. >> reporter: this is a significant hearing because this is the first time that both sides of the case will appear before judge aileen cannon, she will oversee the case from here all the way through a possible trial. and every decision that she makes could impact how this case ultimately turns out. tuesday's hearing is focused on how classified material is going to be handled during this case, but she's also told the parties to come prepared to talk about a possible trial date. right now there is a tentative date for next month on the calendar, but that is not realistic. it is just a place holder. the special counsel has said it is ready to go to trial in december, but defense attorneys for the former president say that it is premature to even schedule a date.
1:13 am
they would like to delay this until after the 2024 election. so all eyes will be on judge cannon for which way she leans on that question. now, the special counsel has also asked the judge to rule on some rules and guidelines about how classified evidence should be handled. like any case, prosecutors have to hand over all the evidence that they have collected to defense attorneys as part of the discovery process, but here in addition to the usual evidence, you also have classified materials. prosecutors want some restrictions on the extent to which those materials can be shared with the defendants, but defense attorneys have raised some objections. it is unclear what exactly they object to, but the longer it takes the parties to agree upon these guidelines for how classified materials are shared, that could potentially delay this trial. and of course that would be a win for the defense attorneys, so all eyes are on judge cannon on tuesday. paula reid, cnn, ft. pierce,

florida. still to come, another ground-breaking drug shown to slow the progression of alzheimer's has been submitted for potential u.s. approval. plus investigators made a startling discovery at the home of a man charged with at least three murders in new york. we'll have the latest on that investigation. and later, how on earth did an airplane's emergency evacuation slide wind up being in a neighborhood in chicago. i need it cool at night. you trying to ice me out of the bed? baby, only on game nights. you know you are retired right? am i? ya! the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is now only $8$899. shop now only at sleep number.
1:15 am
1:16 am
1:17 am
how do i love thee? ...let me count the ways.
1:18 am
♪ love can get a little messy... good thing there's resolve. love the love. resolve the mess. a judge has temporarily blocked a new law in the u.s. state of iowa which bans abortions as early as six weeks. it comes in response to a lawsuit filed immediately after their republican governor signed the restrictive bill into law on friday. for now abortions remain legal up to 22 weeks until the court issues a final decision. and a new medication to help slow the progress of alzheimer's could get u.s. approval later this year. it is may by eli legilly and cod
1:19 am
be the second drug to hit the shelves. >> reporter: and experts are saying we're seeing perhaps more momentum in the treatment of alzheimer's than really ever before. the new results are on a drug made by eli lilly, and they follow the full approval of the drug lequembi on july 6. this one has shown in full phase three trial results shown in alter dam to slow down the progression of the disease by 35%. now, trying to put that that different way, that was really an improvement of 4 to 7 months compared with a placebo over an 18 month trial. so it wasn't reversing the effects of the disease or even stopping the progression, it was just slowing it down.
1:20 am
but experts say this is progress and perhaps just the beginning of hopefully even better treatments that may come along in the future. of course there are side effects to think about with both. they work by clearing the amyloid plaque buildups in the brain and that does come have side effects, specifically brain bleeding and brain swelling. and that was seen in the trial more than 20% of patients experienced this. most of that the company says was mild to moderate, but there were three patient deaths attributed to that side effect. so these are conversations that patients and doctors will have to have about the risks and benefits of the medicines. but they say it is a promising time. and in separate data coming out around the same conference, we are learning about where alzheimer's is most prevalent in the united states and that is estimated to be in east and southeast. this is the first study looking
1:21 am
at a county level and making estimates of where this is most prevalent. counties estimated to have the most are miami-dade county in florida, baltimore in maryland, and bronx county in new york. and that is because of the highest prevalence of older people and also people who are black and hispanic, groups known to have higher previous raens of l prevalence of alzheimer's. and so they say this is important in budgeting and figuring out how to treat these folks. and now officials at the u.s. federal reserve are pushing for two consecutive rate hikes starting this month in order to fight inflation. news on a july hike due after the committee meets next week. but officials are already eyeing september for the second consecutive hike. meantime a new u.s. retail sales report will come out today and could sway the fed's decision depending on whether americans are speddin spending or not. let's take a look at the
1:22 am
futures. you can see dow futures are up just over 0.03%. and nasdaq futures down. monday the dow gained nearly a quarter of a percent. nasdaq finished nearly a full percent hirgher. and s&p 500 gained nearly 0.4%. and the wife and daughter of the man charged with flee of the gil gilgo beach murders were shocked to discover that rex heuermann was living a double life. police commissioner says there has always been reason to link the suspect to the case. >> in the case with rex, every investigate difference step that we took failed to eliminate him and so they narrowed their focus.difference step that we took failed to eliminate him and so they narrowed their focus.
1:23 am
every step that we took led us further and further down that road. >> and now more troubling information continues to come in as police dig for the truth. brian todd has more. >> reporter: the investigation of gilgo beach killer rex heuermann intensifying. they found firearms behind a locked door in his home and investigators were still removing the guns on monday afternoon. none of the women heuermann is charged with killing were gunshot victims, but authorities have also searched a storage facility, a source telling cnn that they are trying to pinpoint whether heuermann kept any souvenirs, items belonging to the victims. >> what we see in offender characteristics, they keep things from victims so that they can use them to relive the murder, to fantasize about it again. >> reporter: the gilgo four was a group of four women whose
1:24 am
remaims were found near gilg owe be beach in 2010. and investigators zeroed in on heuermann and arrested him thursday. he is charged with murders of three women and he is a prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman. >> that investigation is continuing with regard to maureen brainard-barnes. and we feel confident that we're going to be able to eventually charge that murder, but we won't put a time frame on it. >> reporter: but those four women are among 11 sets of human remains found scattered across the south shore of long island between 2010 and 2011. >> can they link him to the other seven. i think maybe short of confession through maybe let's make a deal it is unlikely that they could link him forensically. it is too much time. >> reporter: prosecutors say heuermann has led a double life. >> rex heuermann, an architect,
1:25 am
i'm an architectural consultant, i'm a trouble shooter, born and raised on long island. >> reporter: in addition to owning and running an architecture firm, he is married and has two children. >> only way that they can keep this trajectory of successful killing going is to have a double life or otherwise just move around constantly. >> reporter: authorities say heuermann's wife and two children were out of state during the time that the three women who he is charged with killing died. heuermann's wife and children are cooperating with investigators. heuermann has pleaded not guilty to the three murders he's been charged with so far. brian todd, cnn, washington. the deaths of four women in the northwest region have been linked to one person of interest according to a local district attorney. their bodies were all found early this year. no charges have been filed in any of the cases and authorities aren't names the person of interest. investigators believe there is no active threat to the community. still ahead, senator joe

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." if you are just joining us, let me bring you up-to-date with our top story this is hour. 65 million people are under heat alerts across the u.s. and forecasters warn record high temperatures will continue the next few days. the same heat dome is pushing more rain to the northeast. later today, the florida judge in donald trump's classified documents case is expected to discuss a potential trial date. there is growing fear among democrats that the -- in the u.s. that third party candidate could take away votes from president joe biden and hand the white house to donald trump next year. a senator with a history of bucking his own party may be getting ready to enter the race. jeff zeleny reports. >> reporter: senator joe manchin on enly flirnopenly flirting wi
1:31 am
president had bid. >> we want to have an option. and the option is can you move them off their respective sides. >> reporter: and what he calls a unity ticket, many democrats fear could be a spoiler by syphoning just enough votes from president biden to help donald trump win back the white house. >> i've been in races to win. if i get in the race, i'm going to on win. >> reporter: and at a town hall meeting, manchin, a west virginia democrat and jon huntsman former uhe taptah give their pitch for no label, trying to move the nation beyond its partisan gridlock. afterwards they sat down with kaitlan collins. >> right now people are sick and tired of what they are seeing and upset about all they see is turmoil and havoc. we can do better and people expect us to do better. and this is a good movement. >> reporter: they said americans deserve a third choice. if a rematch emerges next year between biden and trump. >> should the political --
1:32 am
mainstream political system produce the same results in '24 as it did in '20, in which case three-fourths have said no, not again, we want an option. >> reporter: for more than a decade the no labels movement has promoted bipartisanship over extremes. the group, which registers as a nonprofit and declines to disclose its donors plans to raise $70 million for a candidate in waiting. on monday night, the group unveiled what it called a common sense policy book aiming to find middle ground on controversial issues from abortion rights to guns to immigration. sounds down ride utopian in today's deeply divided washington. >> we're trying to make sure the parties understand you can't stay in extreme left or gextrem right. >> reporter: and their goal is to reach 20 states by the end of the year. another threat to biden's re-election bid comes from the
1:33 am
former harvard scholar who is mounting a green party presidential bid. he too rejects the label of spoiler. >> i wish they would spend as much time focussing on the plight oigf poor worker versus working on the spoiler. i don't like that term. >> reporter: while third parties have shown little promise in history, deep displeasure with trump and biden have shown a brighter light on the prospects this year, mindful of an enthusiasm shortfall facing biden, democrats are increasingly sounding the alarm. haunted by ross perot's independent bid in 1992. in green party runs from ralph nader and jill stein. manchin who has yet to say if he intends to seek re-election to the senate next year or run for higher office dismissed such concerns. >> i'm not here running for president tonight. i'm not. i'm here trying to basically save the nation. >> reporter: manchin says he will make a decision about his future by the end of the year of
1:34 am
course deciding whether to run for re-election in the senate or perhaps a presidential race. as for no labels, they will keep holding town meetings like this across the country making their choice next year after super tuesday when it becomes clear who joe biden will be running against in the republican field. manchin says he has no plans of being a spoiler in this race. some democrats even those at the white house are not so sure. jeff zeleny, cnn, new hampshire. be sure to tune into cnn later today, ron desantis will join jake tapper for an exclusive interview, that is on "the lead" at 4:00 p.m. eastern, 9:00 p.m. heerre in london. now, the u.s. climate envoy is holding another round of talks in china meant to restart negotiations between the two
1:35 am
countries that are the world's biggest polluters. john kerry has been meeting with the communist party wang yi as both u.s. and china suffer through extreme heat. anna coren is covering this for us live from hong kong. both say they are seeking to find common ground. has any progress been made yet? >> reporter: john kerry really is taking talks to the next level telling china's top diplomat that climate cooperation between the two countries would in fact redefine their strained relationship as we know things have been at an all-time low. he met with wang yi at the great hall of the people this morning and kerry said that talks could provide a fresh start for the world's two largest greenhouse gas emitters on other issues that have caused serious tensions such as trade and taiwan. let's take a listen. >> our hope is now that this could be the beginning of a new
1:36 am
definition of cooperation and capacity and resolve the differences between us. we both know there are real differences. but we also know from experience if we work at it, we could find the path ahead and ways to resolve these challenges. >> kerry is not your average u.s. diplomat. he was presidential democratic nominee, he was the u.s. secretary of state under barack obama. i mean, he is the consummate diplomat. wang described him as my old friend saying that they worked together on a series of problems. kerry also had a message from the u.s. president joe biden saying biden values his relationship with xi jinping and is committed to stability in the u
1:37 am
u.s./china relationship and hopes to achieve significant differences to the world. yesterday kerry met with his counterpart for nearly 12 hours. wang praised both for their hard work and kerry said in a tweet, and let's me read some of it to you, that the climate crisis demands the world's two largest economy work together to eliminate the earth's warming and take urgent action on coal and methane pollution. climate experts will say that any move to cooperate on methane or greenhouse gas responsible for roughly 30% of global warming could provide a way forward. we know that both u.s. and china realize the importance of climate diplomacy and there is hope that they can get on the same page before cop 28 in dubai. >> and especially at a time when we're seeing the soaring temperatures. anna coren, thanks. now, smoke from the canadian wildfires has drifted far enough
1:38 am
south to blanket north georgia and other parts of the southeast u.s. some 20 states are under smoke advisories as the historic wildfires continue to rage. but now as we hear from paula newton, health is arriving in the form of international firefighters. >> reporter: they have come all the way from america's southwest. >> welcome to quebec. >> reporter: now in northern quebec's scorched lands. joining hundreds of other international firefighters doing what they can to slow wildfires that just won't quit. >> at this point, we're just trying to secure the edge and make sure that the communities are safe. >> reporter: the silver state hot shot crew is looking for hot spots. they are firefighting crews specially trained and skilled now taking on the record-breaking wildfires. you are from montana, big sky
1:39 am
country, but this is a big fire. >> and the scope for us in the states, this would be one of the largest fires ever to occur in the united states. so, yeah, it is a giga fire. >> reporter: total area burned in canada already has shattered records, now 10 million hectares, an area nearly as large as the state of ohio and still burning. >> when they burn like this, there is no way to put people in front of it to even stop the fire. there is no amount of resources on the ground or from the sky that will be able to stop one of the fires when they get the momentum. >> reporter: as shocking and frankly unsettling as it is, this fire is just far too large to extinguish. the fire already burned is larger than most countries on the planet. it means that not only does the fire burn, but there is going to be a lot of smoke. and that means many american cities could be shrouded in smoke on any given day for weeks
1:40 am
or months to come. >> don't be surprised if it continues and secondly, this is a problem that is going to go on into the future when it is the year to burn and conditions are right, it is just going to continue to burn. >> reporter: here in quebec, many were evacuated within minutes as the flames threatened towns and fires burned with raging speed. and jimmy is grateful to see american help. he said he had minutes to leave in june and was upset to leave behind the family pets. they were fine when he returned six days later, but he fears his home will be threatened again. incredible but not normal. he says it is not normal, but cautions that we should all learn to expect the worst from the weather now. the rain helps, it has finally arrived in some places, but in the worlds of one canadian official, it is like a drop in an otherwise empty bucket.
1:41 am
the mayor of this town says the rain is an answered prayer. she may not have to evacuate her town again. but they have to adapt she says, no one imagined so much would burn so quickly. were you scared? >> i wasn't scared, i was mad. and then i have to come down and say no, you have a job to do. so i stay calm and i said to my people let's be patient, let's do it, keep it zen. >> reporter: it may be difficult to stay calm as mother nature rages. the cliché applies here in every way possible. canada is burning and it is not out of the woods yet. paula newton, cnn in northern qu quebec. still to come, emails meant for the u.s. military get sent to an african country thanks to one tiny typo. but the scale of the mistake is massive. plus heavy clashes continue

in response to a number of recent alarming events in the strait of hormuz, secretary of defense has ordered deployment of fighters to the u.s. central command area of responsibility to defend u.s. interests and safe guard freedom of that gags in the region. >> and that was pentagon deputy press secretary announcing that they are deploying to the middle east. this is after two instances earlier this month in which iranian navy ships attempted to seize merchants vessels. in one iranian opened fire on an oil tanker and hit the ship near the crew's living spaces.

1:47 am
town of south darfur triggers clashes and looting, the latest in the cycle of violence that comes as fighting between the paramilitary and sudanese army enters its fourth month. joining me know is david mckenzie. rsf have reportedly been carrying out targeted destruction of communities in darfur. what do we know about the latest attack? >> reporter: what we know he is and i think important to get the big picture here, which is that the rsf seems to be gaining more control over zones of darfur, the vast area in the western part of sudan. and this is critically important because the rsf, rapid support forces, paramilitary group which is warring with the conventional military in sudan now for more than 90 days is really a follow-on from the militia that were notorious for targeting often nonarabic tribes over the last 20 years and have been
1:48 am
implicated in war crimes back during the conflict in darfur all those years ago. now it seems as multiple analyst and witnesses have said that history is repeating itself and some of them say it is repeating itself in an even worse and more horrific fashion. there have been multiple reports of mass graves in and around western darfur, this is now this latest news that the rsf is taking control possibly of a significant town in the southern part of darfur, but it speaks to the military unable to secure those zones far outside of the capital and inside the capital khartoum will heavy fighting continues, there is some feeling that the rsf at least at the moment may have the upper hand. and you saw very bold statements put some days ago put out by the leader of the rsf to indicate that they feel confident that
1:49 am
there is still no end in sight of this conflict when people expected civilian rule to be coming into sudan. instead what we've got are the warring parties causing mayhem and displacing millions. >> and now we are into a fourth month. david, what hope is there at this point for a peace talk revival? because yesterday we heard these reports that the so you tosudane army spo possibly resuming talks but unclear if that is happening. >> reporter: multiple international actors are trying to at least get a ceasefire. the latest count, you have the saudis and americans seem to be involved repeatedly in trying to broker cease fires. you have the egyptians who have invited the sides for talks. you have the ethiopians and the prime minister there saying that they can help under the auspices of the east african community and african union to find some
1:50 am
kind of help. i was speaking to a leading analyst on sudan and he said there should be some criticism of international actors for in a way competing as to who should be the one to broker any kind of cease fire. there is a certain level of suspicion from the warring parties as in some cases egypt is seen as a backer of armed forces. other groups are scenes as backers of the rsf. so it is a complex picture. of course the blame has to squarely fall on the generals who are fighting this conflict. but there does seem to be a call for more coordination for peaceful resolution of this fighting. >> certainly is a complex picture and continues to be. but important reporting. david mckenzie, thank you. just ahead, it is not the place you really want to find an airplane evacuation slide. hear how one ended up in someone's backyard in chicago.
