paradise lost. the scope of the devastation on

maui coming into stark relief. so much property destroyed, including important historical and cultural sites. today, the disaster is far from over. we will have a live report from hawaii, just ahead. and we're learning more about a deadly encounter where fbi agents shot and killed a man they were trying to arrest after alarming and threatening posts. and in florida, we are live outside the courthouse where former president trump's body man walt nauta pleaded guilty. we're covering they stories coming into "cnn news central." ♪ still we have dead bodies in the water, floating, and on the seawall. they've been sitting there since

last night. we've been pulling people out since last night, trying to save people's lives. i feel like we're not getting the help we need. it's a nationwide issues issue at this point. we need help, a lot of help. we have to get people down here. just moments ago president joe biden responding to the pleas for help, speaking with hawaii's governor and approving a national declaration of disaster for hawaii. at least 36 people are confirmed dead in hawaii, and there are major concerns that that death toll will rise even more. firefighters are gaining very little ground against the catastrophic wildfires sweeping all across maui. cnn mainp just obtained this heinous video, engulfing the historic town of lahaina.

and in these sidbyide images, you can see a large portion of the town has been utterly destroyed. a number of cultural sites have been reduced to ashes. urgent search-and-rescue missions are underway. the coast guard plucked more than 50 people out of the ocean off maui. as of this moment, more than 21 people are in emergency shelters, 11,000 customers are without power, and officials are asking visitors who can leave lahaina and maui should do so.

>> alex, there's still hot spots, but as we move away from the erratic winds we had 24 hours ago. we have more traditional tradewinds, but the problem is they're one of thing on the floor a northeasterly direction, up and over the mountain range across the island and going through basic thermodynamic process, drying up, heating out, so we still have the dry conditions in this region. the hot spots still flaring up could certainly by problematic going forward. here's a look at the wind forecast. you see the general northeasterly direction. we need the winds to decrease. they have compared to yesterday. we could use in rain, but unfortunately it's not likelihood. that would be on the eastern-facing shorelines and highest elevations on the

leeward side, that's where we see the things drying out. look at the difference between the hot spots early this morning and what they were just 24 hours ago, a marked difference in the amount of energy that the wildfires have put out, basically this fire on the west side of maui ran out of terrain to burn, alex, simply moved its way to the ocean a dramatic increase in the amount of drought coverage, the severity increasing by 10% within the past week, because that really puts together just how dry and tinderbox the conditions are. >> thank you so much, derek. i have to bring in mike valerio.

what are you seeing this morning? >> the sun is up, just after 7:00 a.m. here in the heart of honolulu. every now and then you may see people streaming in and out of our back drop, but what we have seen since midnight, shuttle buses coming from the international airport to this convention center, which is equipped to handle about 2,000 people. overnight they handled about a total of 100, and officials believe it will house more and more people now that the evacuations from maui pick up steam and become more of an organized machine. the video we captured from overnight, i was so struck, alex, by just taking in the human toll. you see families with expressions of utter exhaustion, of utter just looking for a place of solace and respite, and reprieve from the apocalyptic

zone they escaped from, and they found that here. it was quite moving to hear from emergency officials who spoke openly about the island values of compassion for not only the people who inhabit this wonderful place, but for the island itself. on that front, listen to what we heard. >> we talk a lot about aloha, right? as that value. we talk about the value to care for, to cherish, to nurture, right? it's one thing to talk about it. it's another thing to live it out. >> reporter: so, alex, living it out means from his point of view tourists and people vacationing respecting the island enough to heed the evacuation orders and leaving. the animating energy for today will be to try to get as many tourists and nonresidents out of maui, perhaps to here or back to the mainland and more and more

first responders into maui. now that we have daylight, emergency crews will go airborne and try to get a better sense of containment figures to give more of a view of how much work has been done and how much work they have left to go, alex. >> mike valerio, thank you for all of your reporting through the court of the night. let's talk about this with angus mcilvie, and to note, he lost his home as well as other residents. we're so sorry what you have gone through. can you tell us about your experience? >> thank you for having me on. people are just shell-shocked in

lahaina. so many family in the bling of their homes lost their businesses, lost their schools, grocery stores, everything is gone. we have no cell communications at all. i've been pleading for a tower or something. we have no way to get messaging to people about what efforts are available where. we need to try to get people the ability to get out to resupply themselves and hopefully get as many out as we can. u6789sds. >> so you have no cell coms? can you text? >> there's only a few isolated spots where you can tech or call. people are running out of gasoline. people are living out of their cars, you know, everywhere. we're in desperate need, even

though the fires have subsided. the road ahead will be difficult. we've lost not only -- hundreds of years of history, culture and everything that made lahaina a place to visit. >> it's a beautiful place. it stays with anyone who has been there. when you're talking about what you need, do you feel that you are getting what you need super state officials? we also know that president biden obviously has just approved a disaster declaration. he's been in touch with your governor. >> yes, president biden out here we saw mahalo immensely for the declaration. in my limited contact you've been able to rake out to congresswoman tokuda and give

them information from the front lines. this is what we need, this is what we need to get, and, you know, so the response has been amazing, but it needs to be quicker. like any other disaster, like the gentleman in the video you played earlier, it hits the nail in the head. we need more massive response right away. the things we're doing, we can get them to permeate and get the ability to the community to know about it. the lack of communications i think is causing a lot of making the situation worse than it is already. >> we're seeing some pictures, obviously, some aerials of the downtown area of lahaina. >> i can't even describe it. i went on a brief flyover in one of the recent supplies, and

having born and raised here, it's unreal. it looked like a bombed-out beirut. every boat in the harbor burnt and sunk. the preschool is gone. there's a hotel where literally there's nothing there. it's cat atonic to look at. as i was escape myself, you could see fire raining down from the sky and all of a sudden things were igniting everywhere. i was at the boatyard and all of a sudden the gentleman i was with, as a temporary retreat area points officer to the tree, and it's on fire. the wind driving all these explosions all day long, including when the fuel dock behind the harbor blew up. it was like out of something you would see in your footage of ukraine. it was surreal. now the devastation and the

bodies and the loss, and the questions, no communication drives another thing -- a lot of people are worried to death about their loved ones, and they may not know they're okay or not. >> and for some people it takes hours and hours to touch base. so you need communications. that's certainly out there now. >> we need communications, fuel, food and most of our visitors, please cancel your trip. don't come out. maui is great. it's open for business, but for west maui, this is -- i think just like that, you know, we need to get as many people out as we can, to be able to try to accelerate the relief efforts. >> we hear what you are saying.

senator mckelvey, thank you so much for your time. thank you, and thank you for your continuing coverage. it's super important so we get the efforts we need. aloha. thank you, sir. for more information, you can go to cnn.com/impact. you can also text "hawaii" to 707070 to donate. alex? fbi agents tried to arrest a man accused of making online threats to kill the president as well as other democrats. it ended with a suspect dead. a law enforcement source tell us that craig d. robertson pointed a gun at s.w.a.t. agents while they were trying to take him into custody. this was not the suspect's first encounter with the fbi. >> hey, my friend, that's right.

this investigation investigation started back in march. the genesis was a social media company seeing something concerning on their platform, and the fbi confronted him about several troubling posts they were seeing. now, at the beginning of that interview, the suspect said this was all part of a dream up, and then he got belligerent, telling the agency don't come back unless you have a warrant. behind the scenes they continued to have an investigation, continuing to see post after post. it was a post about joe biden, because joe biden was en route to utah. this alleged post, according to the criminal complaint, the suspect wrote -- i hear biden is coming to utah. dryinging out near own ghilli suit, and the fbi did what they

do in so many circumstances, that there's someone capable and intending to cause harm, they'll seek an arrest warrant. that they did, and they intended to take him into custody. he pulled a weapon, and one of the agencies fatally shooting him. >> these posts extremely troubling, not only they included threats against the president, but also against other prominent democrats across the country. tell us more. >> reporter: that's right. that's the through line. a lot of the vitriol were towards democrats, particularly people donald trump was critical of. also, at the state level, california governor gavin newsom and two new york state officials, letitia james and the d.a. alvi bragg.

you see the through line. this, of course, alex, covering national security is something that u.s. intelligence and law enforcement officials have been so concerned about, this heated political climate that they're in. there could be more people out there hearing ought this vitriol, and could act with some violence. >> yeah, that's right, josh campbell, a very disturbing report. thank you very much. brianna? new charges for former president trump and his co-defendants. what they're facing now and what went down in the court appearances today. plus, why health officials are preparing for a triple threat of viruses, and how you can keep from getting sick. now i'll be smelling fresh all day long. stilill fresh. still fresh, you nasty little goblinsns! still fresh! still? still. still here. still fresh!

house arrest. kylie, what more are you learning? >> five americans who have been wrongfully detained in withdrawn, imprisoned in iran, have been released on house arrest. that's from the national security council response per adrienne watson, calling this an we know the identify of three of them. seemak has been detained since 2015. the other two were detained? separate -- since 2015. the other two detained in separate instances in 2018. it's been many years the families have been wanding their release. the other two americans as part of this release today, we don't know their identities. so that is something we will continue to watch for.

the national security council saying they will continue to press, of course, for these americans to not only be released, but returned to the united states. according to a source who has been briefed on the negotiations between the u.s. and iran, there is still a ways to go here. there are a few weeks until the americans are expected to be back in the united states. they won't get into the details of exactly what is going to happen during that period of time, but one thing we do know is there have been discussions about $6 billion in iranian funds that are currently in a restricted account in south korea, and making those funds more accessible to the iranians. there will still be the same restrictions on the funds, only using them for humanitarian purposes or not sanctionable trade, but they're going to try and put them in a different account so that the iranians can have easier access to the funds.

the other issue that we know has been discussed is a prisoner swap, with some iranians in u.s. prison, set to be released as part of what we expect to see in the coming weeks. the likely timeframe for when the americans are expected to come back to the u.s., if all goes well, would be in september. this is a major development for these families especially who have been wanting some sort of movement on these americans who have been wrongfully detained in iranian prison for so many years now. we should also note, when it comes to the u.s. conversation around the iran nuclear program, a source said these discussions were separate from conversations regarding iran's nuclear program, but progress in this area could compel forward

progress in other areas between the u.s. and iran. >> certainly a welcomed step for their prisoners and families. a lot more to learn, thank you, kylie. brianna? this morning former president trump's body man and property manager were in court. walt nauta and carlos de oliveira are accused of obstr obstruction. we have seen randi kaye outside the courthouse in florida. take us through how this time in court went. >> reporter: brianna, as you said, trump did enter this not guilty pleas, submitting a waiver of appearance, but walt nauta did appear with his

attorneys and entered the plea of not guilty. carlos de oliveira, the property manager, we were expecting him to enter a plea as well. as you know, he appeared in court in miami last week, but he didn't enter a plea and didn't have an official arraignment, because he needed a florida attorney to enter a plea. he had a florida attorney, but still no plea. just another delay. the name is donny morell, and he's waiting for confirmation before submitting his appearance. he should have the florida attorney by tomorrow, but now he official arraignment is delayed until tuesday of next week, august 15th. he may not appear in person, but we should get a plea on tuesday. of course, this all relates to the charges that both men are

facing, including false statements, conspiracy to obstruct justice. the question is how this delay and the added charges and all that they have to do in court, how will that impact the trial set for may of next year for donald trump in the classified documents case. will it indeed happen before the presidentaial presidential, brianna? >> randi kaye live for us from florida, thank you. let's bring in former federal prosecutor elliott williams. to that question about the timeline, now one of the three co-defendants, de oliveira had his arraignment postponed. this is yet another delay. how much does that play into the timeline of this trial just getting pushed back farther and farther. >> of course it does. every delay will add to the time to get to trial. remember, it's been weeks, if

not month since the former president was first charged in the matter. it takes a while to get to trial in any circumstance. i think we all have in our heads because the election is coming, we have to move this along, but no, look, there's any number of matters that will slow this down. this one is going to take a while to get to trial. >> walt nauta has pled not guilty. we assume that calor de oliveira could do the same. what are the chance foss prosecutors to flip them, if you will? >> it's definite li their goal. it's always in a defendant's interest to plead guilty. number one, anyone who pleads guilty gets a lower sentence. anyone who cooperates with the government gets their sentence lowered even further. so we have built in a great incentive to do so. now what you have here is the drama of working for the former president, and there isn't a long record of people turning

testimony against the former president. >> so this was the latest stage in the first federal indicate. of course, indict in new york, and we are expecting one -- well, one for former president trump also in georgia. all of these overlapping cases, does that help or hurt the various prosecutors? >> i think it probably hurts in a way, only on account of scheduling. any one of these matters has to happen on its own timeline. at a person point a defendant can't show the for a trial in two different jurisdictions on the same day. so at some point the judges will have to get together to discuss. it's just one of the realities of scheduling in court. >> an extremely busy year ahead.

officials in ukraine have ordered mandatory evacuations around the eastern city of kubiansk. this as poland announced plans to move 10,000 troops to the border with belarus, which just announced they'll hold joint military exercises with the wagner group. a warning, this follow report contains in graphic images. >> the brutal work here the world hasn't seen, but once its results. they have words and weapons from support, but out here, it's them alone. in searing heat, cloaked in dust in the southern counteroffensive, ukraine has the initiative. yet, they have to shoot their

way forward, round by round. the russians are just past the building. we're the first journalist to reach the counteroffensive south. so the british tank was spotted by the russians, so we're moving fast out of here, because they're expecting return fire. the losses from the earliest assault, evidence of a supplied bradley armored vehicle. >> it's moving forward to fire at russian positions, which they say are beginning to look in peril as ukraine's southern counteroffensive pushes forward. the 15th national guard have lost many friends here, but also gained ground. it's been incredibly tough, but

some faces we saw over the past week from brightened. some of the assessment of their fight and the tools toward it, they've been they're being expected no nato army would attempt with equipment they would scoff at. the humvee with travel in, with tires so threadbare, no american soldier would be expected to drive it. they have no time for armchair assessments that they're failing. that underestimate is visible here in the nearest town, pummeled by the main problem, russian air superiority and the

half-ton bombs that they drop. at any moment, it may not matter how much cover you have. we take cover in a basement. one day, 20 rockets hit in as many minutes. the way now is for what they think is another missile to come in and land. the me of death haunts the rubble, where entire lives will be torn through. this was the main humanitarian aid point of the town, and weeks ago, this was where the remaining locals would be hiding out, getting shelter from air strikes, but it's taken a direct hit and quite a few people lost their lives when this explosion happened. you can still smell the explosive in the air. in moscow's warped world, it's

the medics who feel hunted. where they stay hidden, where the last two triage points have been bombed, and the three hours a day they spend above ground, this is what happens. this is rare footage of their frontline rescues. the painkillers are clearly not enough. treatments given as up to 100 miles an hour over bumpy shelled roads. it seems miraculous that anyone makes it. in the back of this armored vehicle, not everyone has. these transfers perilous, their vehicles bunched together, perhaps visible to russian jets. sometimes they don't all come back. on friday, a fellow medic an
