1:01 am
will be the warmest month that this planet has seen in recorded history. >> tons of millions of people today and more than that by wednesday and thursday because the heat is going to spread out. did not have the authorization. >> it's barbaric treatment. it's extreme cruelty. there's no need for that kind of cruelty. >> this is crowd control and it is ready to go, potentially, if they need to. if police need to feel they need to clear out those roads in front of the israeli supreme court. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom." with max foster and bianca nobilo. hello and welcome. it's monday, july 24th, 9:00 a.m. here in london. 1:00 a.m. on the u.s. west coast, where a record heat wave that has tortured americans for more than a month threatens to extend into august.
1:02 am
millions of people are under a combination of heat advisories and excessive heat warnings from coast to coast. by the middle of the week, high temperatures are set to expand to the majority of the country. health and weather experts are warning everyone to stay indoors if possible especially in cities and states like texas and arizona push higher into triple digits. despite the motivation to beat the heat, the mayor of phoenix says this year has been tough on her city. >> the heat has been unrelenting in our community. we have nobody innovative. and that is the phoenix way. we build for extreme temperatures in the summer so that we've made infrastructure investments that help us get out of these challenges. but this summer has set some tough records. >> well, cnn meteorologist chad myers has more on what's in store for the u.s. but first cnn's camila bernal tells us how the heat is affecting the country. >> reporter: in places where temperatures are reaching 110,
1:03 am
120 degrees, officials really trying to encourage people to remain indoors and to avoid the heat as much as possible but for some who maybe work outside, it is impossible to avoid the heat. they to be outside. and those people are being reminded to wear the appropriate clothes. to take water breaks, to be in the shade. to stop working when you feel dizzy or when you begin to feel sick. and it is very important to point out the significant impacts of these heat waves. starting with hospitals, for example, who have reported an increase inpatients they're seeing heat-related d illnesses and in area hospitals. there's the economic impact of this. a recent study showing that it costs the u.s. about $100 billion a year, and that's only in productivity loss alone. that's what the extreme heat is costing the u.s. and many of the industries.
1:04 am
and most impacted being agriculture and construction. but really there is no industry or business that is immune to this. think about, for example, a food truck and being in a kitchen when it's extremely hot. think about pets or animals at the zoo and people that actually work at the zoo. and people who are working indoors and have to go to work are seeing the impacts or effects of these. take a listen to this librarian and what he had to do. >> i was crossing the students and parents. all of a sudden, i was sweating i want to come back to the library where it's nice and air conditioned. as i'm walking about, i tripped. it just happened. i trip because this part of the shoe right here was like this, and looked like this. >> reporter: and in some cases the effects of the heat wave can be felt like easily. you can buy a new pair of shoes. but it is important to point out there are dozens of deaths that
1:05 am
are reported salt of these heat waves. the u.s. has set more than 2300 records because of the heat that we're seeing in different parts of the country. and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. tens of millions of americans still under some type of heat watch, warning for monday. and that number will likely go up for your tuesday, wednesday and thursday. and i will show you why. corpus christi, though, look at you later on today, 112 for the feels like temperature. you don't need humidity out here to get the air temperature. these are numbers in the shade. vegas around 110, phoenix, still around 117, death valley right around 120. now, this heat dome that we've been talking about for weeks will eventually begin to spread out a little bit. it's going to move out to the north and the jet is going to get pushed to canada and the temperatures begin to slide off
1:06 am
to the east rather significantly. temperatures are going to go up a lot as we work our way to the middle part of the week from 80s to over 100 in some spots. like minneapolis, so for today, 91, thursday, friday, you're up above 100 degrees. and this is typically not a dry heat in minneapolis. because the corners through ohio, indiana, we call it corn sweat, the evaporation of the corn that's out there giving humidity to the air, owe 101 is going to feel warmer. new york city, it's going to take a while to get there, but you'll be 96 on friday. get ready for much warmer weather out there. >> our thanks to chad. the brutal heat is fuelling wildfires in the greek island of rhodes. officials say it's the largest evacuation effort in the country's history. more than 19,000 tourist ists a
1:07 am
residents have left their homes. the fires have been burning on the central parts of rhodes since tuesday. among all of the destruction, stranded tourists are filling up airports waiting to fly home. some of them describe harrowing journeys to safety. >> hotel was literally crowded full of people. as soon as they sent the buses to the airport, we were right, that's it. absolutely chaos. the surges of two or three buses that arrived. everyone screaming and shouting and crying. people were completely on the flights yesterday and were desperate to get home. >> let's get live from the town northwest of athens. alinda, this was no small evacuation happening on one of greece's most popular islands. do we know if the authorities have managed to get the wildfires now under control?
1:08 am
>> reporter: unfortunately, christine, we had word that the big fires rear kindling. the big fires in rhodes are rekindling and there are actually houses on the islands burning right now. more forces have been sent in, about ten helicopters and aircraft are operating on the island right now. including assistance from others that have come after greece's request for international assistance. the tourists have mostly evacuated. most people waiting on the island to be evacuated, some will remain on other part of the island because the area we're looking at is about 10% of the island, the area is that now in great danger. many people have moved to other places. and rhodes is jam-packed with tourists. some areas are trying to best to get people out. and some airlines are expanding
1:09 am
to the island of rhodes. rhodes is not the only island that has the fire. and another island of korfu. we understand that authorities are sending more forces there as well. at the moment, we don't have any houses burning, just preliminary, precautionary, evacuations for the time being. but they're preparing in case they need to get more people out. this has been an incredibly hot time in greece. it's been the most prolonged heat wave in greece's known history so far. and with temperatures that are likely to remain extremely high for at least the middle of the week. so, as we understand, the country really feels like a tinderbox right now. there are strong winds in most parts of the country which makes conditions extremely difficult, christine. >> elinda, live from athens, thank you.
1:10 am
texas governor greg abbott says his state has the sovereign authority to defend its border as it faces a deadline to commit to remove floating barriers on the rio grande. the deadline was set by the u.s. justice department which has warned the state could face legal action. cnn's priscilla alvarez has details. >> reporter: the floating barriers along the rio grande, it's the latest escalation between president joe biden and governor abbott over the handles of the u.s./mexico border. over the weekend saying that texas will not have the authority to set up the barriers. it went also to say, quote, the state of texas raised environmental concerns, caused serious risks to the environment and may interfere with the
1:11 am
federal government's ability to carry out its official duties. now, officials have talking for months with the administration as to what action if any may be taken by the justice department as they watch with concern the action that the texas governor was taking along the border. those floating borders have posed drowning risks to migrants crossing. the texas governor said in a tweet it's our sovereign authority to defend our borders. again, he can reply by monday afternoon as to whether or not he will take them down. if not, the justice department says in their letter, they're ready to take the texas governor to court. priscilla alvarez, cnn, the white house. now, authorities in mexico say five migrants from colombia and peru has been rescued from a mountain pass on the u.s. border after they were abandoned by their guide. mexico's national institute of migration said a 15-hour operation was launched last week after one of the migrants phoned
1:12 am
authorities for help, saying they have no food or water. one minor was among the group. they were taken to a shelter in tijuana after their rescue. now, ris really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is now out of the hospital after undergoing surs for a pacemaker implant. he was hospitalized for what doctors say was a transient heart block. this comes as they're debating a bill to curb powers of the supreme court and a preliminary vote is expected in the coming hour, mr. netanyahu earlier said he would attend the vote. meantime, this was the scene, or the scenes outside of parliament this morning, as thousands of demonstrators continue to protest against legislation. these are in fact live pictures coming into cnn here. and police are using water cannons to try and disperse this protest. for more, let's go to journalist
1:13 am
elliott gotkine who is live and joining us live from tel aviv. these protests as we know have been going on for months now, six or seven months. and today, we could seale the complete reshaping of the parliament history. how likely is this bill to pass today? >> reporter: christina, i think it really depends on how the talks are aimed at getting to a compromise by president isaac herzog depending on how the talks fare. as things stand, the votes scheduled to take place in the coming hours, if the government makes its vote this shall be law. the government has 64 out of 150 seats in the knesset. so it's incredibly surprising if and when it comes to a vote that the government doesn't have its way. but it's under tremendous pressure, not just from protesters on the streets, not just from tech workers and
1:14 am
business organizations going on strike today, not just from those saying they will turn out to duty after the first part of overhaul is passed. there's also pressure from none other than president joe biden in the u.s. he has, again, for the second time in the week, made his feelings known about his part of the judicial overhaul. in a statement to cnn saying given the range confronting right now, it doesn't make sense for israeli leaders to rush this. the focus should be on putting people together and finding consensus. that's what president herzog got off the plane last night and went straight to see president netanyahu in the hospital. he was discharged earlier today. he then held talks with leaders and doing his best to broker a compromise which might help, for example in some of the judicial aspects being ush kicked down the road for several months or longer. but for now, this vote is due to
1:15 am
go ahead. and if it is passed then it doesn't necessarily become law either. because the president has to sign it into law. now it could be unprecedented and the israeli association has already readied a petition to file to the supreme court to block passage of this law. they would want to get some kind of injunction and then the supreme court would form a panel of judges to oversee this and then decide it will become law. christina. >> elliott, as you're speaking and we're watching the protests happening right now, i'm wondering if israel is headed for the same thing we saw in march where there was this unprecedented strike. it affected airports and you mentioned reservists are threatening to strike right now. do you think we could potentially be headed to the same scenario? >> reporter: we don't know, it is crunch time, that much, we do know. of course, last time there was a different element, we had the
1:16 am
defense minister calling for it. some allied with netanyahu, within his own party, within his right, the defense minister, such an important role in israeli politics calling for pause. he hasn't said anything yet. he's expressed his concerns with the reservists and israeli air force. he's been trying to hold talks with them as well. as things stand there is one big business group that has announced a strike. along with tech workers. the main federation of groups has not called for a strike just yet. now, that could change. but that is what seemed to push netanyahu to pause adage of this judicial overhaul last month and cut it up into bite-size pieces. we're not there yet, but we could get there, christina. >> a very few important hours, thank you, elliott. the collapse of a middle school roof in china has gone up. the latest ahead.

in northeast china, the death toll is now 11 after the roof of a mild school gym collapsed on sunday, according to chinese state media. rescuers have found the body of a student who had been trapped inside. authorities say a preliminary investigation reveals construction material on the roof gained weight after being soaked in the rain, leading to the collapse. state media reports those in charge of the construction are in police custody. russia and ukraine are accusing each other of launching a new wave of drone attacks overnight. in the odesa region, ukraine says russia has targeted more of its buildings, this time in the danube river.
1:22 am
a grain building was destroyed. and intercepted two drones in what it called a terror attack by kyiv. this video appears to show one of the drones flying above the russian capital. it happened as more attacks were reported in crimea. russians say 17 ukrai$17 ukrain drones were launch. cnn's clare sebastian is joining us with more. what more do we know about the russian drone attack? >> yeah, we're looking at two locations, one more essential than reported in the morning that debris was found, the road was briefly closed. this is very close to the russian defense ministry. really, about a ten-minute drive from the kremlin. this is the fourth incident with drones, this is the most central location we've seen since that very first incident when the kremlin itself was actually hit. so that's significant. the second location in the southern part of the building in a nonresidential building sustaining damage. take a listen to one of the
1:23 am
residents close by what she heard. >> translator: i was asleep and was woken up by an explosion. everything started to shake. it felt like the whole building had come down. i looked out of the window. i live in the neighboring building on the side where there's less damage, and it felt strange. the damage was so minor. well, okay, not minor. any explosion is scary. but it sounded worse than it looked because it seemed like the whole mall had exploded. after that, i looked online and saw the amount of damage from this side. and we came and had a look from here. >> so, obviously, this is no casualty, according to the mayor, no serious damage, but we are seeing separately in crimea, as you're saying, the russian military defense saying they averted 17 drones but a house was destroyed. and evacuating residents in a five kilometer radius of that incident. and all of this comes, of course, after a week of russian
1:24 am
strikes on odesa. ukraine's digital transformation minister coming out saying drone attacks, the russian capital in crimea, electronic warfare, and they're becoming less and less comphabl of protecting the occupier's skies. that's as close as you'll get to a claim there. >> more strikes on a grain infrastructure overnight as well, this time on the danube. this as putin claims that russia can actually pick up in replacing lost grain that fell through. >> yeah, what's significant about the overnight strikes is that, one, there seems to be a fair amount of damage to pictures coming out, they're showing destruction to grain and things like that. these are the not the black seaports, these are the danube ports. when the black sea is not possible to return grain, they turn to the danube ports which kicked in last summer which now becomes more and more important. so that speaks to russia
1:25 am
essentially trying to destroy that effort on top of the black seaports. and all of that coming as you say as putin wrote this article published by the kremlin sunday saying that russia can pick up where ukrainian grain left off. actually able to supply african countries with the food they need. an attempt, really, to soften the below with the allies cultivated since the beginning of the war, essentially trying soften the blow which means cancel that will affect its supply. >> clare, thank you. well, the u.s. secretary of state says ukraine has captured about half of the territory russia seized since starting the invasion. antony blinken told cnn that russia failed to raise ukraine from the map and ukrainian troops are poised to take even more land as their counteroffensive grinds on. >> now, ukraine is in a battle to get back more of the land that russia seized from it. it's already taken back about
1:26 am
50% of what it initially seized. now they're in a hard fight to take back more. these are relatively early days. it is tough. the russians have put in place strong defenses. but i'm convinced with the equipment and supportle they've received now from more than 50 countries with the training that their forces got. and many of the forces who have gotten their training have not yet put fully into the fight. and maybe more than anything else, with the fact that unlike the russians ukrainians are fighting for their land, for their future, for their country. >> blinken also says ukraine will likely receive u.s.-made f-16 fighter jets. but it will take months before they're operational. now, an an important week in washington with u.s. federal reserves set to meet on tuesday and wednesday to discuss another likely interest rate hike to combat inflation. a point increase is expected after the fed poised its rate hikes in june. gdp figures are due out later

week for former u.s. president donald trump who is facing the possibility of a third criminal indictment this year. this time, for trying to overturn the 2020 election. even trump himself believes the indictment is coming. the question, really, is when. the third indictment could als be a game-changer in the back door for the republican nomination. d some republican challengers are shrugging off his role in the january 6 insurrection. among those questioning the case against him, his former vice president mike pence. pence was whisked away to safety that day as rioters chanted "hang mike pence" after believing that pence had power to overturn results but refused. here's what pence told cnn about it on sunday. >> the president's words were reckless that day. i had no right to overturn the election. but while his words were reckless, based on what i know, i'm not yet convinced that they were criminal. president trump was wrong on
1:33 am
that day, he's still wrong, in asserting that i had the right to overturn the election, but what his intentions were and as you know, criminal charges have everything to do with intent, what the president's state of mind was. i don't honestly know what his intention was that day, whether as he spoke to that crowd, as he tweeted during the riot itself. but for my part, from what i saw, as i said, his actions were reckless. i believe that history will hold him accountable. i believe that republican primary voters know that we need new leadership in this party. >> well, another indictment, trump would also add to what is already a packed political and legal schedule. as you can see here, he'll be talking in january, march and may of next year at least. an unfarmed black man was attacked by a police officer's k9 in ohio as he surrendered for authorities with his hands up. this, despite, a state trooper
