world. i'm rosemary church. just ahead on cnn newsroom, donald trump faces a deadline in the hours ahead, in connection to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. hear what one of his lawyers told cnn about it. a deadline in niger. and a steady stream of migrants in record temperatures leaves the city asking for help. thanks for joining us. the clock is ticking for donald trump's lawyers to respond to a legal filing in the case over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 u.s. presidential election. special counsel jack smith had

requested limitations on evidence provided to trump's team. specifically, they are asking the former president not to receive his own copties of sensitive material, fearing he could use it to threaten witnesses. the deadline to respond is just hours away. smith responded to trump's posts on social media, including this one -- if you're coming after me, i'm coming after you. one of trump's attorneys says he will fight the protective address. he also says the former president did not tell mike pence to throw out key electoral votes. he simply asked. what president trump did not do was to direct vice president pence to do anything. he asked him in an aspirational way. >> trump said by his truth social platform, his legal

people will be asking for the federal judge overseeing the election subversion case for a recusal on, quote, very powerful grounds. he says his team may seek a venue change out of washington, d.c. amid the unprecedented nature of whal trump faces, we might see his former vice president and current opponent, for the 2024 nomination, to testify against him. dana bash put that to mike pence earlier. >> i have no plans to testify. we will always comply with the law. i want to tell you. i don't know what the path of this indictment will be. the president is entitled to his presumption of innocence. there's profound issues around this, pertaining to the first

amendment, freedom of speech and the rest. i'm confident that he and his lawyers will litigate all those things. >> over the weekend, some of trump's opponents for the republican nomination were stumping in iowa, at a barbecue event. while nailing home their own platforms, candidates did not miss an doesn't to acknowledge not only the lead donald trump holds, going into primary season, but also the division among americans. take a listen. >> i know this is an uphill battle. >> we as republicans cannot be content with just managing this decline a little better. >> we have a country to save. >> ron brownstein is senior editor with "the atlantic." good to have you with us.

donald trump and his lawyers have until 5:00 p.m. to respond to a legal filing related to his third indictment relating to his effort to overturn the 2020 election, after special counsel jack smith issued a protection order. he wants to limit trump and his team from discussing evidence. they will fight for the protective order and the recusal of the judge and seek a change of venue. only a few of his gop rivals have dared to speak out about any of this, as the country faces a historic moment. what does it say about politics in this country right now? and american democracy? >> yeah. this is the culmination of what we watched for eight years, as trump has barreled through a process of norms about candidate behavior, about presidential

behavior. two impeachments, including instigating the january 6th riot. we've seen time after time, of the vast majority of elected officials, all of them, refusing to draw any lines. and trump has taken back the lesson, that he's broken the party to his will. there's no point he can do to where republicans will coalesce against him. and try the difficult task of convincing their voters this is unacceptable. when you add owall of this up, u see what it creates for american democracy. we see the vast majority of elected officials say they do not believe his conduct after the 2020 election or january 6th, is disqualifying him to be president again.

and the legal system they have different judgments about what he did in that period. >> we see that reflected in the polls. the most recent poll shows 52% of iowa republicans back trump. and 47% are considering the other gom candidates. it shows trump is 24 points ahead of his nearest rival ron desantis. the remaining hopefuls are far behind with single-digit support. while the poll was conducted before the third indictment, what do the numbers reveal to you ahead of the gop primaries? >> trump is the dominant figure in the republican party. that means the largest faction in one of our parties, for the first time since the civil war, is signaling that it is okay with anti-democratic measures and means to pursue its end.

the other candidates have chosen a strategy of what we saw in 2016. avoiding direct confrontation with trump, in the hope that outside events, a meteor striking the earth, or all of the indictments will cause the support to crumble on its own. they will be there to pick up the base, as they are seen as someone who did not try to take him down. that didn't work in 2016 and it's not working in 2024. if they want to beat him, they have to give republican voters a stronger reason to pass him over. >> trump has been indicted three times with a fourth looming in georgia. what happens if trump wins the 2024 election but is convicted

before his inaugurations? >> if trump wins the election, he will seek to dismiss the cases against him or poardon himself. i don't think that's available to him in new york and possibly georgia. we're already in a crisis of democracy. we've not seen the dominant faction in a major party accept and tolerate and embrace anti-democratic measures to this extent, i think since before the civil war, when the slave holding south had a strategy of subverting majority rule to protect slavery. if trump wins the election, while facing criminal convictions, we are way beyond the last buoy. >> appreciate your analysis. many thanks. u.s. president joe biden will travel to arizona,

new mexico and utah this week. to sell his economic policies ahead of the presidential election. his trip comes on the heels of a monthly report showing a gain of 187,000 jobs in july. it's an increase the president has doubted as biden no, ma'a . two-thirds of those surveyed disapproved how mr. biden is handling the economy. >> reporter: president biden is heading west to sell voters on his climate agenda. this is part of an effort for the white house to take credit for the plushments, including the inflation reduction act. that had $370 billion meant to combat climate change. the president will visit arizona first. he is considering designating a

new national monument around the grand canyon. this is something the native tribes have been lobbying for for years. this is a chris cal issue for key members of the democratic coalition. progressives, young voters, people who haven't been satisfied with the president in this area so far. when it comes to drilling for fossil fuels, the president hoping to show voters he is serious about combatting climate change. this is part of a bigger effort by the biden administration to take more credit for the economic agenda in the month of august. you'll see the president, the vice president, members of the cabinet, all out talking about their economic record. they have a good story to tell. inflation is easing.

consumer sentiment is ticking up. there is a disconnect with voters. in a poll last week by cnn, 75% say they view economic conditions as poor. that's translating into political headwinds for president biden. the challenge for president biden is to close that gap and remind voters of all he's accomplished when it comes to the economy. coup leaders have announce ed the state. the junta held a large rally in the capital on sunday, where thousands of people voiced their support for the coup. the junta also urged their supporters to stand up to any

threats from outside forces. >> translator: niger's armed forces is ready to defend the intertoir and homeland. the national council for safeguarding the homeland, provides an appeal to the youth, to stand ready to defend the homeland. >> good to see you, stephanie. the deadline for coup leaders in niger has come and gone. what's expected to happen next? >> yes. the expected intervention has not happened, rosemary. there's several reasons for that. nigeria is key to these

operations. nyeige nigeria's president is the head of the regional bloc of heads of state who decided to take military intermention against niger. he is hampered legally. he is not approved to take military action in niger. they asked him to go back to the table for a more diplomatic option. and also, nigeria, is bordered several states in the north, with niger. very close links historically, ethnically. many people in the north parts of northern nigeria, consider nigerians to be brothers. there's a strong element pushing from niger, the governor's forum, which is powerful, telling the president they met last night, on sunday night. telling the president we cannot allow this war. we need to find a peaceful

solution. so, the president is caught between a rock and a hard place. he wants to be seen as a tough-talking leader. but he really must follow the due process, before any intervention can happen. >> all right. many thanks. coming up next, ukraine targets critical transportation routes used by russia, as it pushes forward with its counteroffensive. we'll have details just ahead.

all you need is one key. earn and use rewards across expedia, hotels.com, and vrbo. ukraine's military is confirming strikes on two, key bridges between crimea and russian-occupied areas nearby. ukraine says the two road bridges targeted on sunday, were the main transportation routes for russia in those areas. a russia appointed official, claims the bridges were used for civilian not military traffic. and one bridge cut off supplies to 20,000 residents. nick paton walsh has developments and has more from

zapor zaporizhzhya. they run from the crimea peninsula, to the regions held by russia still after the last inv invasion. i think the bid is for ukraine to sever part of the resupply routes, the infrastructure for russia's infiltrinfiltration, w much of the counteroffensive is trying to push crimea off from the rest of ukraine. how successful these strikes will be, we don't know. russia is playing it down. and the ridges will be running off to the west. it's the pinpoint nature that will have russian officials

concerned. they can turn on and off supply routes at will. we don't know at this point how effective they have been. s they come after days of sit for at the. waterborne drones against an oil tanker. against russian bridges into crimea. attacking things that russia thought were impregnable. and russia responding with missiles over the last 24 hours. an uptick, certainly. away from the intensity of the fight here, where the koupt offensive is focused. that's where ukraine is putting most of its efforts. nick paton walsh, cnn,

zapor zaporizhzhya, ukraine. >> joining me from odesa in southern ukraine, is the search director at the european expert association, where she focuses on international security. appreciate you joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> ukraine hit a russian oil tanker with a sea drone over the weekend. we've been reporting an increasing number of attacks by ukraine inside russia. how might this change the trajectory of the war? and is it wise, that russia could escalate its attacks on russian soil? >> ukraine has to attack on russian soil. if we look at the cities like kharkiv or ckherson, which are ten miles from the russian border, russia attacks these

cities from the occupied territory or from the territory of russia itself. we take kharkiv, where they launch from belgrade. the only way to stop this, because there's no way to intercept this missiles, is to attack the stations on the territory of russia. the other aim is to cut off the routes of fsupply. the supply routes and the russian warehouses. this is used for russian troops to reply on the attacks of ukraine. this is one thing. the other thing that russia is threatening, to do more, for ukrainian attacks. this is nonsense. russia has used all kinds of weapons its has. and including on civilian population in ukraine. we've seen awful, terrible images of residential buildings

being hit by russian missiles. houses being destroyed. civilians hospitals, by russian missiles. this is all russia already is doing. and they can't do anything more. more terrible. >> as we've been reporting, ukraine just targeted two bridges between crimea and russian-occupied areas nearby. we've seen this before, of course. what is the strategy here? is it working? >> the strategy is to cut off the supply routes for the russian troops in zaporizhzhya and donesk. it's actual rated with all kinds of weapons and troops. this is the supply of russian troops. this is ukrainian tactics to cut

the supply routes and also ukraine is using the high precise weapons. high precise long-range missiles it gets from the western partners to hit ammunition depots inside crimea, as well. to slow down attacks and give ukrainian troops to move forward. >> russia supplied the u.k.-supplied missiles in the bridge attack. could that threaten future supplies of these types of weapons to ukraine, do you think? >> ukraine says, and it's acknowledged by everyone in the international community, that the territory of crimea is ukrainian territory. and ukraine has the full right to attack crimean bridges or whatever it thinks is appropriate to stop russian aggression on its own territory. ukraine can use any western

weapons its has for the attacks on the territory of russia. ukraine uses its own made weapons, which is taken by ukraine and officials. >> thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. dozens were killed and many more injured after a train derailed in pakistan. we'll have the latest on the crash. just ahead.

mangled wreckage, it's not difficult to understand why. it left karachi at 9:00 a.m. it was headed to abadabad. after 1:00 p.m., the train derailed near the town of nawabshah, about 70 kilometers from kir rackarachi. ten passenger cars derailed. this is a remote farming area. the first people on the scene were trying to pull survivors from the train. >> translator: we were standing here. as soon as the accident happened, people started screaming.

everyone was running around in panic. many were injured. many had died. local people carried out the rescue operation for an hour before the rescue services arrived. >> as we heard from the eyewitness, it did take time, hours in fact, for emergency rrue crews to arrive on the scene. they had to bring in machinery to free those who were trapped for hours in this crushed, mangled wreckage. the injured were taken to hospitals, where an emergency was declared. these pictures show you the chaos that was going on. there's dead bodies covered in plastic outside of the hospital. the cause of the derailment is unknown. it could be a technical fault or an act of sabotage. no one has claimed
