california's threatened by what could be one of the most devastating storms that we've had hit california in more than a decade. make no mistake, this is a very, very dangerous and significant canned storm. hillary has passed through parts of mexico and is headed straight for southern california. we'll tell you how the region is preparing for the storm, plus you'll hear from a georgia sheriff on what donald trump can expect when he arrives at the fulton county jail this week. and -- >> they are going to put their bodies on the line, their hearts on their sleeves and they are going to bring it home. >> england fans are hoping for a win but they'll have to get past a tough spain team to do it. we're live from sydney with a preview of the world cup final match. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. and we begin in california
2:02 am
where southern parts of the state are under a state of emergency and bracing for the impact of hurricane hilary. historic storm is now a category 1 strength with maximum winds of around 85 miles an hour. it's expected to make landfall in the coming hours on the exposed baja, california, peninsula and slam into southern california as a tropical storm. residents rushed to stock up as governor gavin newsom warned. >> we have 7500 now personnel dedicated in southern california. please, please listen to emergency personnel, local officials. take seriously debris flows, floods, flash floods, lightning, possibility of tornadoes. >> san diego's mayor met with the governor to discuss emergency operations and government support. the mayor urged people to be prepared. >> please take precautions right
2:03 am
now. a couple minutes of effort today could reduce our impacts tomorrow. that can make the difference between a prolonged power outage, other service disruptions and obviously it could also make the difference between life and death. i hope people would make good choices. meanwhile, evacuation orders have been issued for parts of san bernardino county. beaches, parks, other public areas are closed in two counties. disneyland's theme parks have canceled their scheduled picketing in los angeles for monday. let's go over to cnn meteorologist karen mcginnis. what is the latest? >> reporter: a couple of take aways. wind, still associated with hillary at 85 miles an hour. it's the same as our last intermediate update. that hasn't changed. hurricane hunters did see a little tick upward of the central pressure. essentially what that means is it's going to weaken. we knew that that would be the situation. i want to point out one other
2:04 am
thing, something i've noticed over the last six hours or so is this eastern edge and northern edge of the hurricane has the deepest convection where it's a little more ragged along that western edge but don't be fooled, this is going to make its way into northern sections of the north baja region. also affect arizona and into southern california where we're seeing all kinds of advisories, flood alerts, tropical storm warnings out. and as i mentioned, this is now still a category 1. it looks like as it makes its way towards that southern california border or the border with mexico, we're looking at it perhaps at tropical storm strength. but this is going to be a multi-day event with heavy downpours. essentially we may break it down like this. le some of the coastal areas, 1 to 3 inches of rainfall. some of those inland valleys may
2:05 am
be upwards of 5 inches, possibly some locally heavier amounts but it's going to be the mountains. this orographic lift is going to be the danger spot as it wrings out that moisture. they're saying that maybe mount laguna could see as much as 10 inches of rainfall. all right, so that's one spot, but that water's got to go someplace and it's going to come careening down off of the mountains. but all the way from los angeles to palm springs, coachella, to san diego, but we're not finished with it. as i mentioned, this is going to be multi-day. so what will be a much weaker system but still powerful supporting a lot of moisture with it is going to drag across the inner continental mountain region and for the great basin and spread that moisture all the way up into idaho and washington state. so it's got some legs to it and we could see power outages. could see the possibility of an
2:06 am
isolated tornado. we could see some debris flows. we could see some infrastructure. we could see some trees down and power lines. those winds are going to be gusting perhaps between 50 and possibly 70 miles an hour. so we'll continue to monitor that. allison chinchar, my meteorologist friend, will be here next hour and continue to bring you updates around the day. >> appreciate that. karen mcginnis, thanks so much. so as hurricane hilary approaches southern california, people are preparing. many are unsure of what to expect since they haven't seen a storm like this in their lifetime. cnn's natasha chen has more. >> reporter: this is a weather event that's created a lot of questions for people because they have never seen a tropical storm warning and the last time a tropical storm made landfall in california was more than 80 years ago. a lot of people are wondering
2:07 am
what exactly they should do. officials have said a lot of the preparations that folks would have made for winter storms and flooding months ago apply here asking people to please take advantage of the sand bags that are being given out to bring materials indoors, to not go outside or drive in the weather on sunday and monday if they don't have to. officials have also been very proactive in going to outdoor areas where there are encampments of unhoused people trying to convince them to take shelter inside before the storm really comes through. the most intense of which is supposed to be sunday afternoon, at least through the san diego area with very strong rain and winds. we are seeing a lot of events being canceled and postponed. major league baseball moved their sunday games to saturday. there are concerts like ones at the hollywood bowl being canceled. the u.s. navy has even
2:08 am
temporarily moved their ships and submarine away from san diego just during the storm, at least until it passes through. catalina island in los angeles county has been warned for people to -- they're strongly encouraged to leave that island, that they're likely to get hit. a lot of high water rescue vehicles prepositioned. a lot of personnel out there ready to act as soon as this weather comes through. it has been more than 80 years, again, since southern california has seen a tropical storm make landfall. a lot of people are nervous here but officials are telling them to just be prepared. natasha chen, cnn. extreme weather driving wildfires across north america. more than 1,000 across canada. flr some 35,000 people under evacuation orders. the premier says 30,000 may have
2:09 am
to clear out as well. they know firsthand how scary this is for residents. >> we are working hard to get these fires out and to makes it safe for the public so that you can go home as quickly as possible. i know it's difficult to be out and i know that because the majority of my staff, including me and my family, are also evacuated. so we're all in this together. >> meanwhile, two fires are raging in spokane county, washington, burning more than 17,000 acres, more than 185 buildings between them. one person has died in the state. the search for survivors in maui goes on nearly two weeks after wildfires devastated the community of lahaina. officials have searched 78% of the burn zone. authorities estimate more than 1,000 people are still missing. bill weir brings us the latest
2:10 am
from maui. >> reporter: it is now day 11 since the catastrophic fire that tore through parts of maui and absolutely decimated the town of lahaina. and while the search area has grown with a lot more personnel, a lot more cadaver dogs coming into west maui, the number of the missing remain stubbornly stuck and just puts a pit in your stomach when you think about all of the families waiting for some confirmation, fearing the worst, but holding on to some bit of hope. president biden and the first lady are coming to maui on monday. whether or not they actually walk through lahaina, the burn zone, or just fly over the scene, dan criswell, the fema administrator, could not say. promises the president will stand with the people of maui and lend an ear to local leaders who are very concerned at the reopening plans, rebuilding plans, anything going forward won't include them as has been the case here for generations. the number of people in shelters
2:11 am
though is going down as more move to hotels around the island and off island as well. and there's a lot more personnel. we're hearing there are now over 1,000 personnel here, both state and federal. that has been a big cry early on. most of the citizen-led response now seeing more of the official response. they're trying to hold those folks in. meeting resistance from folks saying, we set this up ourselves, you're a little too late. a lot of raw emotions from so many displays, so many still missing this many days after the fire. bill weir, cnn, maui. and if you want to help those impacted by the hawaii wildfires, go to cnn.com/impact or text hawaii to 707070. donald trump's formal arrest in georgia now just a few days away. coming up, we'll explain what sort of treatment the former

we are about 40 minutes away from the championship match of the women's world cup. after two incredible runs, england and spain will compete for their first title in team history. england are trying to become the second country to claim the country as reining european champions. spain are hoping to window spite never advancing past the round of 16 before. cnn's amanda davies joins be us from sydney where the final will be played. amanda, less than an hour away. seeing some of the pictures from outside the stadium where you are. excitement must be building to a fever pitch right now. >> reporter: yeah, very much, kim. the fans are pouring through. kickoff still 45 minutes away. there is as has become traditional somewhat of a closing ceremony which gets underway in about 15 minutes' time. we heard a big cheer from the
2:17 am
fans who are already inside. both sides are on the pitch going through some final warmups. a little bit of light training ahead of the big kickoff. the match, which of course, is being billed as the most important of their lives so far. in terms of team views, interestingly serena viegman is sticking with ella tude. ella scored the brilliant first goal against the ma tildas wednesday night. she is starting in place of lauren james who starts on the bench despite the end of her suspension. for spain, the 19-year-old who has been such a superstar. written so many of the headlines, hasn't she, particularly over the last couple of matches scoring those two goals in two matches. she is starting, interestingly, for spain ahead of her barcelona teammate a leks yeah putea. there was some concern she might have some slight injury but she
2:18 am
does start. this one is also set out to be the most fantastic encounter. two sides, neither of whom have had the easiest journey to this final. englands with the injuries even before the tournament started. then to kiera welsh and then the suspension for lauren james. spain, well, it was only a couple of weeks ago they suffered what was billed as a humiliating 4-0 defeat to japan. there's all the talk of the unrest in their camp. the coach says despite what other people are reading into the body language and speculation swelling around their team, this is a unified team. they are in the biggest match of their lives, of their careers before this tournament. spain had never won a major tournament, knockout game. unchartered territory for them. so, too, england. first world cup final although they have that european
2:19 am
championship trophy success in their back pocket. they are very much drawing on that. but their captain, milli bright is well aware of what this moment means. >> i think everyone knows how big this is. i think it's been players' dreams for years. everyone already knows that. we know how passionate our nation is at home and how much they want us to win. we need to play the game of our lives. >> reporter: the game of their lives. with history at stake for both spain and england. the crowds pouring in. eyes of the world watching as well. the stage is set. promises to be pretty spectacular game. >> let's hope the match lives up to the billing. amanda davies, thanks so much. when donald trump and 18 co-defendants surrender later
2:20 am
this week in fulton county, georgia, it's hard to know exactly how it will play out. negotiations are ongoing and likely to continue. we explain how the jailhouse process there usually works and how trump's booking could be modified. >> reporter: sources tell cnn that trump's team has already been in contact with d.a. fani willis's team. those conversations are expected to go into early next week. conversations specifically about the conditions of trump's appearance and the logistics about his surrender. we've also heard from the secret service. a spokesman telling us that the agency has been on site here at the jail over the last couple of weeks in contact with the sheriff's office here in fulton county and also with the city of atlanta ahead of trump's surrender and also planning for his first court appearance. we've heard from officials including the sheriff, patrick lavad of fulton county, that trump and his co-defendants are going to be treated the same as
2:21 am
everybody else. let me walk you through what the normal booking process would look like at the jail for a newly charged defendant. that process would include hours of waiting, simply waiting for their turn to get fingerprinted, get their mug shots taken. also there is typically a body search that is conducted by a jail deputy although in the past, high profile defendants who have voluntarily surrendered have been able to forego that body search. a medical screening typically happens and a pretrial consultation to determine whether it's appropriate for someone to be released without bond. here's what the sheriff had to say about the nature of this case. >> our goal is to treat everybody. so if you're indicted, we're going to treat you as though you indicted here locally and so we will continue to do fingerprints, mug shots, et cetera in as safe as possible fashion. >> it is much more likely that this process will still be conducted much more swiftly for
2:22 am
these co-defendants just due to the high profile nature of some of them, including mark meadows, former chief of staff. and transporting somebody who is a form er president of the unitd states. it's possible they might not have to show up in court because the judge could choose to conduct that arraignment virtually or allow them to waive that right to arraign am. if that happens, it's unclear when trump will be in a georgia courthouse for the first time. clearly the clock is ticking. trump and his former 18 co-defendants have until friday to turn themselves in. isabel rosales, cnn, atlanta. republican hopeful ron desantis took his campaign to new hampshire on saturday, a state that looms large in next year's election cycle. desantis is a distant second.
2:23 am
and he has gained more shakeup. at saturday's town hall, he touted his record as florida's governor. >> most people that run for office over prompts and under deliver. we made bold promises and not only did we meet those commitments, we exceeded. we over delivered on our promises. that's the type of leadership that we need. >> desantis and the other republican candidates also a toebded a conservative event friday in atlanta called the gathering. trump, however, wasn't invited. cnn's eva mckend reports. >> reporter: conservative activists from across the region had the opportunity to hear from a number of 2024 republican hopefuls on this final day. they heard from aswami and chris christie. aswami railed against corporate diversity efforts as well as talking about the importance of
2:24 am
restoring patriotism in this country. for his part, christi talking about school choice and strengthening america's foreign policy. trump not a focus of this event. erick erickson who put this on did not invite trump. it was very deliberate in not asking the candidates in the 45-minute wide ranging interviews for the most part about trump. still, after christi left the stage he addressed reporters and he attacked trump for skipping out on next week's first ever debate. >> there's no other conclusion to jump to. let's face it, guys, by wednesday he's going to be out on bail in four different jurisdictions. that really -- when are we going to stop thinking that's normal? when are we going to allow our country to understand again that nominating someone who's out on bail in four jurisdictions is
2:25 am
not a winning formula. >> reporter: though trump remains dominant in the polls, there is still an appetite to move on from trump. spoke to people seriously supporting governor desantis. in the investigation into hunter biden, "the new york times" reported prosecutor david weiss appeared to end his probe earlier this year without any charges against the president's son. that changed around the time two irs whistle-blowers accused the justice department of giving hunter biden special treatment. it's not clear if weiss changed course because of the whistle-blowers. a plea deal on back taxes and weapons violations fell apart. weiss and his office have indicated they may pursue further charges. learning more about former

some news just coming in to cnn in what sounds like a setback for the space program. russia's space program says the luna spacecraft has collided with the surface of the moon. it's reported an emergency situation as it's trying to enter a pre-landing orbit. this was the first lunar lander in 40 years. it comes as india attempts the
2:43 am
same thing. that craft is expected to land on the moon on august 23rd. days after a young activist scored a landmark climate victory in a montana court, 14 children in hawaii are hoping for similar success in their lawsuit against the state. the young plaintiffs alleged the hawaii department of transportation is violating state laws by voting and funding transportation projects that has fossil files. they're saying they're violating the state department bill of rights. a district judge sided with young activists in a similar ruling. montana's development violates those same rights in that state. and for more on this, i'm joined now by isaac maurawaki who's the environmental attorney for earth justice. thanks so much for being here with us. before we talk about your legal
2:44 am
action, i just want to get your reaction about what signal this week's montana decision sends. >> it's an historic decision. the first time the court has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and recognized their constitution al right to a livable environment. >> we're seeing the trend of lawsuits on behalf of children. yoirs is among this. ment this is the first indigenous youth led trial. give us a sense of how these children, these plaintiffs are being harmed here. >> right. many of our youth plaintiffs, there's 14 of them, all living across the islands in hawaii, many of them are native hawaiian, indigenous, not all of them. yes, they've taken up the cause and taken their government to court, particularly the twrans poor tags officials, for violating their constitutional rights under hawaii law to a
2:45 am
clean, safe, healthy, livable climate. >> so explain that for me. why is it targeting hawaii's transportation system? what specifically are you asking for here? what would a win look like? i assume you don't want to ban all cars in the state. >> no. a win looks like a transformation of the transportation system like we need, from a fossil fuel centric, a fossil fuel base system to clean fuel and other modes of transportation like bikes, multi-modal operations and not just cars. >> the argument is the state isn't doing enough on this and they have to meet certain goals, is that it? >> yes. hawaii has been a leader in a lot of respects in clean energy. we're the first state in the nation to pass 100% clean energy. we are the first to commit to
2:46 am
decarbonizing our state by 2045. one place we're badly lagging is transportation. now transportation, greenhouse gas is the largest share of our greenhouse gas pollution. it's going up steadily rather than decreasing to zero. >> circling back to the montana decision, does that set any precedent that could be useful to your cause? >> certainly. causes across the nation and the world. again, it's this common principle that these youth, the next generation, have a fundamental right to a livable climate. that was recognized in montana, hawaii and i want to be clear that our hawaii supreme court has already recognized a constitutional right to the a life sustaining climate system. that's our court's words. in our legislature, our supreme court as well has recognized, has declared a climate emergency and yet it's in this transportation sector that we really need to turn it around,
2:47 am
get serious and move beyond just token change and get to the kind of transformative change that we really need to get to our climate and decarbonization goals. >> the importance of this, i think, can't be understated right now. we're seeing more and more extreme weather. the tragic fires in maui. you can't link it directly to climate change, but declining rainfall. rising temperatures, invasive species. all of these things certainly contributed. >> there's no doubt in my mind this was climate, this latest unprecedented disaster, the largest in hawaii's history was directly linked to climate change. two of our 14 plaintiffs in this particular lawsuit live right in that impact zone. one of them, koleko, was recently covered in a "new york times." already in her short 13-year life she suffered two climate fuel disasters. just five years ago her entire house was washed out in an
2:48 am
