all right. new this morning, ukraine says that the russians have launched new attacks on locations that could really change the shape of the conflict there right across the river from romania which is of course a nato country. also this morning, ukraine says that it is behind a drone attack in moscow that blew out the windows on the top of a skyscraper. those attacks come after ukrainian volodymyr zelenskyy vowed retaliation of relentless strikes of russian force, and those are the pictures that you are looking at, and the ones in odessa including ones to the historic cathedral there. m alex marquardt reports from the scene. >> the russian president said

that they would retaliate, and now there is an overnight drone strike from moscow that has done less damage than the last few days, and we are inside of the cathedral, and we are asked to put on the helmets from the debris falling from the roof. i wanted to show you the corner of the roof, and this is the most destruction, and where we are told that the missile or the rocket came plunging from the roof two stories and the daylight coming from the roof and brightening up the dark cathedral and over here is the altar and the pillars are off to the side, and the altar is leaning over, and really standing upright, because it is up against the wall, and farther up is the beautiful dome of this cathedral and all of the windows have been blown out. below the frescos have been knocked down, and we have seen large sections of the roof also

coming down as the workers seek to clear it. they say it is going to be several weeks or months or years before this cathedral is fully repaired. the knave is all of the way back there, and in the corner there was a fire, and we are told that a shock wave started an electrical fire. now this church was destroyed in 1936 when stalin was in power. it was rebuilt when ukraine got independence, and now of course in a significant state of disr disrepair. it is attacks like these in infrastructure and buildings that have frankly nothing to do with the conflict that has president zelenskyy that has more air support from the western allies, and air shield from ukraine. alex marquardt, odesa. >> our thank to alex for that, because a cathedral has zero

military value. and now, the national center of interior there, what is the importance of attacking the center of odesa there? >> zelenskyy and the ukrainian people want to see in return, and even though the strikes from moscow did not create damage, but it is in moscow, and famous street where a number of the ministry of defense buildings are located the cyber defense ministry is there, and so chipping away at putin's security. >> and does this bilateral meeting of lucien coe and putin, and what are you seeing coming

out of that? what are you making of that, because our correspondent said it is part of the propaganda, and what is the significance of where this meeting is taking place? >> exactly. so st. petersburg is where putin grew up, and where he is from, but it is also where prigozhin is from, and so st. petet tersb is where putin brought lukashenko, and the only leader who has supported putin every step of the way except for sending his own troops into ukraine. so the two of them went to a place that is a naval base that has this really important history. and every russian is taught about this history in school. in 1921, sorry to take you back into history, but putin is really into history, and in 1921 after the russian revolution, sailors revolted there, and

challenged the bolshevik regime and they were crushed by none other than leon trotsky, and so putin and lukashenko had a nice walk around this museum area and celebrated the crushing of this rebellion, and putin is doing this to show prigozhin that even though he is in belarus that he is under the thumb of both of them, and that his threat of challenging central authority started. >> and beth, one final question, officials told my colleague alex marquardt that they would win this war by next year, and be admitted to nato by next year. is that a realistic time line? >> a year is a very, very long time, and in foreign policy and even in dog years.

so, i, you know, i think that this is part of the really important optimism that the ukrainian leadership must project. they are under a lot of strain there, and they have to keep everybody focused and going, and about uniting the allies, too, and we all hope they are right, but it is a lot about trying to move forward and be positive. >> wonderful to have your expertise, and thank you for being with us. john? >> what is happening is a deadline in texas. and texas officials must take action to remove razor wires and floating barriers from the rio grande river or they face legal action, and the 1,000-foot barrier is stretching across the border in eagle pass, and texas leaders they say put it in to protect crossings, but now it is raising humanitarian concerns, and rosa flores is in eagle

pass, and priscilla is now at the white house, and what have we heard? has texas heard from the white house yet? >> we are getting a statement from the texas governor greg abbott who said he has heard from joe biden who is countering the justice department that they are filing the legal action against the state, and he is going on to say that in the meantime, that texas is going to utilize the constitutional authority, and you have caused, which is a letter to president biden, and we are getting this right now. and because of this response, it is up to the justice department, and they have said to the letter on thursday, that if texas did not remove the floating barriers, they, too, were ready to go to court, and based on the letter to president biden and known by the stance of the

justice department, it is going to appear that the two are going to course over this matter. of course, at the center of the matter is the floating barriers in the rio grande, and the department of texas saying that they did set them up causing humanitarian concern, and migrants and agents and may interfere with the federal border, and the white house has condemned the actions and saying in a statement just last week governor's actions were undermining the enforcement plan to make it hard for cbp to do their job. they went on the say that the governor's actions were cruel, and putting the border agent's jobs in danger, and this is ongoing feud between president biden and governor abbott over a delicate issue of the texas border, and both sides are going

to fight this out in court over who has authority, and how texas wants administration to enforce its federal immigration law, and the justice department is countering that saying it is up to them to enforce the immigration law. >> but the breaking news is that a letter received from governor abbott saying that we will see you in court indicating they are not taking the barriers down by any deadline today, and the courts can decide when and if they hear it. standby. over to rosa flores on the banks of the rio grande. and we know that you won't see the texas officials breaking down the barrier and not at least by 2:00, and what are you hear there? >> john, i wanted to show you what we are witnessing here on border, because governor greg abbott has said that buoys are going to deter illegal immigration, and look at the screen. these are women, children, men,

and some men with the children on their shoulders. still making their way to wherever they are going to be processed. now, they are on u.s. soil, because the middle of the rio grande river, and that is where the international boundary starts, and you can see all of the razor wire, and all of the billions of dollars that have been sent by the state of texas to deter illegal immigration, and what you are looking at, none of it is working. and you are seeing the buoys that are floating, and now there's, i am not sure what these helicopter are, because they are looking like black hawks, but that is what the southern border looks like now, and the property owners are people who i have talked to on the border is looking like a war zone, and sounds like a war zone, and take a quick look, john, at this side of the border, and the multiple layers of the wire, and then the

mexican side of the border. it is lush, green. that's the contrast that locals here in eagle pass always tell me about. they say they miss their side of the river looking like mexico where when they were able to enjoy the river. they'd come out here to fish, and instead, what they are faced with this is wire, and multiple layers of this, and look at this fence. the property owner here, and you know how texas is about small government and property rights, and this property owner does not have access to her river front property. take a look. this gate is completely barricaded by the state of texas. you can't move this thing. it is barricaded with barrels and metal stakes, and the wire. so all of the talk whether it is in washington or austin here in texas, the people who are caught in the middle are the property

owners and the migrants now having to walk whether it be ankle-deep water or waist-deep water depending where they are on the land, and really, nothing is happening here, john. immigration is happening, and migrants are being processed by the u.s. authorities. >> rosa, they are just walking past, and beyond the barrier, and crossing somewhere else, right? >> you are absolutely right. what the texas national guard or the texas dps is asking the migrants to do is to continue walking. normally, john, they would be walking on the dirt. you can see the road there, and that is normally where they would be walking, and what this is forcing them to do is to keep walking on the water in the river, and again, as you and i were talking about, when the river levels rise, part of the

concertino wire. so that is the criticism of the humanity of this, and the humanitarian concerns, and if you are walking in the dark, and walking on the wire. >> and rosa flores in eagle pass, thank you so have you there and keep us posted. so new this morning, a look inside of the effort to revamp the presidential bid of ron desantis, and his team is talking to the reporters saying that as of now, they will do so much differently. and search dogs seen at the home of the gilgo beach serial killer, and what are the investigators looking for.

>> in new york, the investigators searching home of the gilgo beach murder suspect, have brought in a police dog and ground penetrating radar and a backhoe digging in the ground back there. and now, they have a long island gig goe beac-- gilgo beach suspy are digging in the ground for

more evidence. and now, there is a hearing set for mid august in the mar-a-lago documents trial. and now, over the weekend, we have learned that the special counsel office has contacted special counsel brian kemp to overturn his lawsuit. we are joined by evan perez to know what we can learn about more potential indictment details. >> well, rahel, what indicates is that there a lot of work that jack smith and the team are still doing, so that the despite the fact that the former president received a notification essentially, a warning, from the special counsel that an indictment is imminent. he got a target letter now more than a week ago. as you pointed out, we are now just waiting. at this time tomorrow, we expect

that is the grand jury that is overseeing a lot of the evidence in this investigation, they are going to be back at the federal courthouse. they typically meet on tuesdays and thursdays, and that means that we are all on indictment watch should that happen, and again in the next couple of days. as you pointed out, brian kemp, the georgia governor got an outreach from jack smith's office in recent weeks. we know that brian kemp was of course the governor who received a lot of the pressure from the former president and his allies to try to find a way to overturn those georgia election results and to keep the former president in power, and this is going to go to one of the big, big parts of the investigation which we know is at the center of it to overturn the election results in the key states and battleground states, and we will wait to see if that is part of the indictment against the former president and any of the allies

and indicted. >> and now s, cnn has learned a the retreat that they need to do things differently. and according to the desantis campaign, they need to make it leaner because they have unsustainable levels of spending. matt lewis is the author of the swamp and the ruling class elites cashing in on america. my friend matt lewis, and what do you make of the idea that a

campaign resets on the way through, and is it the campaign or the candidate? >> well, look, it has worked in the past, right? john kerry's campaign faltering in 2004 and they were able to get that straightened out. john mccain's campaign in 2008, they were able to finally get their footing and win the nomination. but this is just a not analogous to that, and obviously, they were not running against donald trump a former president of the united states. fundamentally, the problem is just ron desantis. there is the yogi berra line, if nobody wants to come out to ball park, there is nothing you can do to stop them. likewise with ron desantis, there is nothing you can do to stop them. it is a likability problem, and you can't fire the candidate, and you fire the staff and try to do what you can.

>> there is interesting overlapping which is right over your shoulder, filthy rich politicians, andelying on because you have to travel the country to gather the large check, and the big donors cannot give to him more than once, and the governor and his wife prefer to travel to private planes which is significant costs, and adds to the cost for crisscrossing for fund-raising, and who doesn't prefer to travel by private jets, matt. it turns out it is a thing for the politicians, they get a taste for it, yes? >> absolutely. and yeah, ron desantis interestingly was worth only $300,000, and i think $319,000 as of last year, and then three weeks ago or something like that, he filed his disclosure

that he is now a millionaire because of the book, and the high profile political profile as governor of florida and presidential candidate. but, yeah, john, you are right, i think that the people who run for office and certainly who get elected want to live a lifestyle. it is the reason they stick around forever. it is hard to get them to go through the founders who have the vision that people would leave the farm and come to washington to serve, and now people would rather buy the farm than go back to the farm, and part of it is that lifestyle. and you know, john mccain back to him in 2008, and at a certain point, he was flying commercial carrying his own bags at the airport, and he was able to turn it around and so never say never. i would not -- and i don't have high hopes for this reboot. >> and by the way, john mccain is comfortably wealthy, and by the way, he was flying

commercial, and mitt romney flew commercial, and as you know well from your book, but the rich get richer to borrow the phrase there, but do you know much about the most populous politicians who might appeal to the masses, because donald trump was supposed to be this populous candidate, and yet, he was also rich, and why that sort of dichotomy? >> that is right. well, it is ironic that oftentimes this happens that the populous often times do not come from the working class, they come from, you know, even fdr and theodore roosevelt was a traitor to the caste, but there is some hypocrisy at play, and i have two chappers in the book that touches on it, and one is about latte liberals, and one is about ivy league populous, like

donald trump, but hey, ted cruz is married to a goldman sachs executive, but he is in the u.s. senate, and j.d. vance and tom cotton and so many of the republicans who are casting themselves as joe six-pack defenders of the working class who are by definition i would say elites. >> matt lewis, it is great to speak with you, and the book which is behind you, "filthy rich politicians" and what a great subject. all the best. >> thank you. >> rahel? >> thank you, john. we are following major developments out of israel where the protests have erupted after the right wing politicians have had a plan to weaken the power of the courts. it is a historic plan, and some

say it will move israel into a dictatorship, but some say it is a move that must rebalance the powers of government. we go to hadas gold in israel, and this is a move to upset so many of the protesters, and you are talking to them. what are they saying? >> reporter: well, a lot of them are angry after this legislation passed today, because there was maybe still some hope in the last minute, a little bit of the negotiation, and delay the vote, maybe a compromised legislation, and to remind you that this legislation, would strip the supreme court's actions that they deem unreasonable, and there no constitution in israel, and so a lot of it is deemed by the supreme court, and it is also a check on the government power because of the way that the parliamentary and the executive system is set up here, so for many of the protesters they fear it is unfettered

government power, and fear what this means for the rights here, and freedom of the speech, and freedom of to religion, and the like, but the protesters are angry, and disappointed and also that they are not going home, and one of the chants is that we will not give up until it is better, and it is behind us on the stage, and we are behind the supreme court where they have been milling around for hours, and calling on the people to stay on the streets and take to the high waist around jerusalem, and the israelis have used skunk water, and it is foul smelling water. i am getting wafts of it right now. and the protesters are taking to the streets of tel aviv. they say they will continue to be coming out. the vote was 64-0, and the reason it was zero is because all of the opposition lawmakers walked off of the floor. we are seeing the results of it, and stock market is falling a little bit.

the biggest labor union here is threatening to strike, and now a question of all of the military reservists who say they will not serve if the legislation passes, but the question is if they will be arrested for serving, and what happens if another conflict breaks out. >> yes, it is certainly a volatile time in israel, and hadas gold, you have been following this from the beginning. keep us posted. >> coming up for us, a review board in ohio is looking into the moment that a black man was attacked by a police k-9 even though he was unarmed and surrendering at the time. we know that negotiations have begun over the u.s. soldier who deliberately ran into the country last week. we will be right back. new projects means new project managers.

welcome back. newly released 911 calls show a black truck driver as police tried to pull him over. he was later attack by a can-9 job despite his hands up. a review board is looking into how that happened. polo sandoval is joining us now. what else are we learning from the 911 call that rose made? >> we know that the use of force policy is being reviewed here. but let me set up this clip,

because it is painting a clearer picture here of what took place, but it is a disturbing video. on the morning of july 4th, it is ohio state troopers who tried to stop jadarius rose. and you will see how he stops at first for a few moments, and we have since learned that he put a call into 911 dispatchers and he wanted to comply with the officers, but when he saw the guns pointed in his direction, he was afraid to stop. so it was 40 minutes into the pursuit that it comes to the end, and the suvs that you see there, that we are highlighting mr. rose, and those were circleville p.d. police k-9 units that rolled up to the scene. you will see them deploy the dog even after you hear through the body camera video a state trooper insist that as long as his hands are up, do not deploy the dog.

so a warning that it is disturbing, but it will be unclear that the partners heard not to release the dog. >> he pulled back down. >> 39. >> proceed, 39. >> stay on your feet. >> do not release the dog. do not release the dog with his hands up. >> do not release the dog with his hands up. >> don't! >> do not! hey, do not! get the dog off of him! get the dog off of him! >> get the dog!

>>. >> he is clear of the vehievehi >> he just -- why did you come to me. >> i came to respect you. and you have a gun pointed at me. 20 of you. >> all you had to do was to stop, brother. >> i did stop. >> reporter: he was taken to the hospital, and then treated and released before taken to the jail. in terms of reach out, we have reached out to the circleville police department, and actively reaching out to police department, and the canine officer involved, but the city mayor is insisting that the use of force policy is under review in terms of how it was or was not applied to the particular situation. >> certainly a lot of questions here. polo sandoval, thank you. john? >> u.n. officials say that the conversations have begun with

the soldier who crossed over last week. travis king was going towards the militarized zone, and he has not been heard from or seen since. oren liebermann is at the scene. >> the conversations that have been at the foreign command raises more questions than answers. the deputy commander says that the questions have been in the armistice command, because he did not want to prejudice the conversations, but the issue is that it is from the u.n. side, and according to the u.s. is that the contact made to travis king and we don't know who they

say marks travis king one week since he ran into north korea. one issue is that nobody has seen or heard from him about his condition, and so it does not move forward any kind of diplomacy to try to resolve this situation, and we just have this statement with the united nations. it is worth noting, john, that this week marks for the north koreans is a major holiday of the 70th anniversary of the armistice that ended the korean war. >> so a lot more to learn here. so thank you for explaining how

this morning the prime minister of greece says he is at war with the wildfires and the out of control blaze has forced thousands to flee. on the island of rhodes at least 19,000 people have been evacuated. cnn's sam kiley reports from greece.

>> reporter: it is a regular visitor wildfire and no one knows where or when it is going to strike. this is the 21st tourism. the latest maelstrom in europe rhodes, an island of ancient ruins facing a modern apo apocalypse. a yearning of turning spark into roaring flame, and anything that fails to flee the inferno has yet to file. and greeks have evacuated tens of thousands from the resorts of peak season, and the government says the largest opposition in the country's season. >> all of the money, clothing. we have to lend a woman some of my wife's clothing, because she has nothing to wear. it is terrible. >> the british tour operators

are flying the empty planes here to bring the desperate tourists home. and this has just about made it bearable for the heat wave of the south winds to fan the flames of the infernos. and now, through the island of corfu in anticipation of the more fires to come. they have been battling the wildfires for a week, and this is expected to be the longest heat wave this country has seen. as records are shattered across the country and the planet, conditions are slightly more unlivable. >> we are experiencing here and across the country, please, i appeal to the nations of the

world, to be renew your challenge and please protect our common home. >> reporter: as heat waves and fires are escalating yearly in southern europe, the heating is even at the pontiff's own home. >> our thanks to sam kiley for that. rahel? >> and "barbenheimer" is shattering the expectations this weekend, but it is proving that it is really a barbie world. that is next.

. hey, barbie. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, ken. >> hi, ken. >> i have heard that so many times on social media over the last like week or two. >> i thought people were calling me barbie. hi barbie and hello history, the highly anticipated "barbenheimer" weekend smashed box office records. >> absolutely. but in the end, it was tiny plastic pink heels walking off with the win and cnn's vanessa joins us with it to break it down. tell us the numbers and how did both films do? >> fourth highest grossing weekend at the movies. $155 million for "barbie," $80 million for "oppenheimer." these movies did each other a big service because of "barbenheimer." it wasn't about which movie i should see this weekend. it's which one i should see first. then when you add in the international box office totals

you're talking about an opening weekend for two movies that did over a half a billion dollars. also greta gerwig is the highest grossing female director in history, unseating wonder woman which held that title and this is good for movie theaters. you don't often get these huge weekends, especially during the pandemic, when so many movie theaters suffered, regal closed 51 theaters, local movie theaters are so excited about this. they're also hoping that there are repeat customers. people who want to come back and see probably both these movies again. >> well, "oppenheimer" is long. you have to carve out a lot of time. i can see people going back to "barbie" several times. >> i've spoken to a ton of fans one group took their kids, some are going with their girlfriends. these could be repeat customers at "barbie." "oppenheimer" may be a dense, don't want to learn about the atomic bomb twice, but "barbie"

could be a double feature in itself. >> talk about at least with "barbie" there seems to have been a really aggressive social media campaign, but also a lot of brand partnerships. talk about, perhaps, what we saw here that really worked for "barbie" and we may see more of in the future? >> it's not just about mattel, not just about warner brothers discovery and the success around this movie. it's the other brands that are hopping on the bandwagon. airbnb, burger king has a pink sauce, you have crocs with special shoes, and the social media element of this is amazing. i mean, you have young girls, older women, men, dressing up in pink and pink they bought from brands like zara, and so it's an opportunity for people to show their support of barbie, but also the brands associated with this film or want to be associated with this film. they're getting a huge kickback too. >> i feel like they tapped into how to make this an experience, you were touching on, groups of people going together. it's more than just the movie.
