welcome to all of you watching here in united states

and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom", reaction to donald trump's latest arrest and release mug shot as the former president is already fundraising off it. a look at whether this can help plolitically. plus no end in sight when it comes to the heat. we'll have a look at what parts of the u.s. will have to endure the sweltering temperatures a bit longer. and andy scholes joins me live to discuss simone biles comeback the at the u.s. championships. fresh off his arrest in georgia, donald trump is looking to delay the state's election subversion case, but two of his codefendants are pushing for a speedy trial. zid nee powell is the latest to

make such a request. their trials could start as early as october and that isn't clear how it could exact that for trump. in a friday court filing, she served as a fake elector at the direction of the president of the united states. she's the latest to try to get their case moved to federal court. now that will be the subject of a hearing on monday with codefendant mark meadows, who served as trump's chief of staff. we could learn the trial date for trump's federal election subversion case at a hearing presided over by the judge. trump want it is to begin more than two years later in april of 2026. a closer look now at where the georgia case stands. katelyn polantz reports. >> reporter: now that donald trump has been arrest on charges here in the state of georgia

related to the 2020 election, there is going to be a road to trial, just like in his three other criminal cases. in this situation, there are already defendants of donald trump, co-defendants of trump, sidney powell, ken chesebro, both attorneys saying they want things to move fast. they want the opportunity to clear themselves very quickly. and the district attorney wants a trial to begin for them or at least for chesebro and others in october. a judge seems to be in agreement with that. donald trump, however, he does not want that at all. h hes to drag things out, given that he's running for the. and it is very time consuming to be a criminal defendant to have to sit through a trial. what happens there, the next s thing thats the big question is that arl of these people going e tried together. there are 19 defendants in this

case. there are many possibilities for trump to remove himself from the others or try to. and there is going to already be a hearing on monday about this particular issue. mark meadows, the former chief of staff, is arguing that he should have his case moved from the state court into the federal court because he was a federal official at the time working under donald trump. wouldn't have been doing the things he was doing in the 2020 election if it had not been because of his role in the white house. others are asking for that same sort of protection. so a federal judge is going to look at that and look at each of those arguments. fake electors, as well as meadows and make determinations. does the whole case move? do each defendants get their own separate cases rather than where the district attorney has charged this in the state of georgia? so there's a lot of complex legal proceedings ahead of us. witnesses to be put under oath

on display as part of these hearings, mini trials, if you will. and all of this will reflect exactly what trump will be facing not here in the long-term just in georgia, but also could play into the cases being billed against him in federal court in washington, d.c. another proceeding that could be going to trial before the election next year. katelyn polantz cnn, atlanta. >> there's been plenty of r reaction to trump's mug shot itself. reporters asked president biden to weigh in on the photo while on vacation in lake tahoe. >> reporter: president biden is stepping out at the end of his vacation and fielding a range of questions from the traveling press on everything from the current covid wave to the arrest of his predecessor, donald trump. biden telling the press pool he

saw trump's mug shot and joked he was a handsome guy. but biden had more to say about the other republican candidates who took the stage earlier in the week for the first presidential debate of the republican primary. for biden's part, he was not impressed. >> i don't remember them speaking on in of the issues. what are they going to do to deal with the notion that maintaining the job pace that we have now? what are they going to do to deal with education. i kept trying to figure it out. i didn't watch the whole thing. i didn't learn much. >> reporter: he was asked about the likely death of the former

chief of russia's wagner group. he could not confirm the intelligence, but he was not surprised. >> don't know for a fact what happened, but i'm not surprised. >> there's not much that happens. don't know enough to know the answer. >> reporter: here at home, a special counsel investigation into biden's handling of classified documents enters its 8th month with new questions about whether the president could be interviewed on that topic. cnn asked whether that was under consideration and we were told there's been no such request and no such interest. traveling with the president, kayla tausche, cnn. more than 9 million people are under excessive heat watches across the southern united states from georgia to texas,

including parts of arizona and california. the national weather service says shreveport, louisiana, reached a record high of 110 degrees on friday. jennifer grey has more. >> reporter: the deep south will start the weekend once again with hot conditions. dangerously hot excessive heat warnings and watches, advisories in effect across much of the deep south. below average temperatures are going to start to work their way in though across at least the midwest and the ohio valley. northeast included in that. above average temperatures will ease for some in the south. the feels like temperature looking better across the midwest. chicago feels like 76. 74 degrees this afternoon in minneapolis. so much, much cooler. temperatures will feel like the 80s and 90s across some of the southern zones, but once you hit the next couple days, we'll see a groojall warm-up, but nothing like the last heat wave.

omaha around 86. possibly hitting the 90s in wichita over the next several days as well. so traveling down to the south, the feels like temperatures this afternoon are going remain very hot. feeling like 112 in dallas. 111 in houston. 115 in baton rouge. shreveport feeling extremely hot. high temperatures 107 in dallas. 103 by sunday. we try to the fall a little bit by monday, but still temperatures in the mid-90s. 85 degrees dropping to minneapolis on monday. temperatures start to fall in new orleans. these are a little closer to where we should be this time of year. so while we'll still be in the 90s. it should feel a little better than where we have been over the last couple of days and weeks. so 102 in new orleans the next few days. temperatures start to fall. so 90 degrees by tuesday. we are going to see some showers and storms. 91 is where we should be this time of year. so actually falling below normal

for once. but we are going to see those heat advisories and watches and warnings continue for the beginning part of the weekend. >> hawaii now has a new interim emergency minister after the previous resigned after health reasons. he was criticized for not sounding emergency sirens as the wildfires swept in killing 115 people. the mayor says the new official has invaluable experience. it comes as legal battles take shape over what started the fires in the first place. natashaen chen has the latest. >> reporter: in the lawsuit, maui can county is calling this a human-made disaster. they are alleging recklessness on the part of the electric companies, specifically saying this in the lawsuit. defendants in actions caused loss of life, severe injuries, complete destruction of homes and businesses, displacement of thousands of people, and damage to many of hawaii's historic and

cultural sites. they also say specifically that the electric companies didn't keep up their equipment very well. there was advanced wood decay. they did not have a policy or decide to shut down the power lines, deenergize them when there was a high wind watch and red flag warning. specifically to issue, the president and ceo of hawaii electric said a week after the fires that this was actually a controversial practice, even though it's done in places like california, nevada, oregon, as a way of preventing wildfires. the electric company spokesperson told cnn that their priority is to support the people and county of maui, and they are disappointed that the county took this litigious route. separately, "the washington post" is reporting that the utility removed damaged poles, downed lines and other equipment from where the fires reportedly started, which prevented

investigators from being able to view the scene undies tushed. that's according to the post investigation into court documents, letters and records. cnn is still trying to independently confirm that. the post does report that the actions violated national guidelines on how utilities should handle and preserve evidence after a wildfire and deprives investigators of the opportunity to view any downed poles or lines in that undies tushed condition. so that, a spokesperson told the post they are in regular communication with the atf and local authorities and are cooperating to provide them, as well as attorneys representing people affected by the wildfires, with inventories and access to the removed equipment, which they have carefully photographed, documented and stored. now we know that the unaccounted list is down to just more than

300 people of verified names. the fbi brought that list down from more than 1,000. this is a very difficult moment, the maui police chief said, because the names they know are going to create a lot of pain for their loved ones seeing them on that list. the death count at at least 115 right now. natasha chen, cnn, los angeles. as people in hawaii try to pick up the pieces after the deadly wildfires one is sharing this musical tribute for people affect ed. listen to this. snebds ♪ sglap ♪ the cellist posted the clip as he played the hawaiian song. he wrote, this is for maui from a far away friend, adding, i'm so terribly sorry. if you'd like information on how to help those impacted by the

raine is expanding its foothold in the russian defenses in the south. it's reportedly happening south of the village, which ukraine says it secured earlier this week. so take a look at what the fighting looks like on the ground. ukraine says its troops are having more success south of there, and even some military bloggers are conceding they are ukraine is tryg to advance and cut the land bridge between crimea and theasrn rejob. across the border, russia claims its air defenses destroyed a drone northwest of moscow. kyiv says three people were killed and three others wounded in russian strikes across ukraine over the past day. investigators say they recovered ten bodies in the flight data recorders from the plane crash that's believed to have killed wagner boss yevgeny

prigozhin. they said the materials are being processed and handed over for examination. the kremlin denied it might have been involved in the crash. we are live in london. so what's the latest? >> we don't have any timeline on how long this analysis, this gathering of evidence will take, but we know, as you mentioned, that russian investigators have recovered ten bodies found at the crash site as well as the flight recorder box, the black box essentially, and are now conducting forensic evidence analysis and cnn analysis to identify who those ten individuals killed in that crash were. yevgeny prigozhin, the wagner boss, is believed to be among the dead, but dna is needed to confirm this. a couple things to note here. we must remember above all else that this is a crash that happened on russian soil. the evidence is being gathered

by russian investigators. and the investigation will be carried out by a russian-backed government body. that's why there are serious questions as to whether or not this investigation can be transparent. can be conducted without any meddling. i think it came as no surprise to supporters of prigozhin and president biden himself that yevgeny prigozhin died if he was indeed killed, in this manner. it seemed a surprise at all he lived for two months after launching what was the most serious threat to president putin's power in his nearly two decades of control. we know that the kremlin has been behind a series of incidents where kremlin critics have ended up poisoned, dead, fallen off of balconies. there are serious questions and concerns as to kremlin involvement in this. the kremlin denied this outright calling any accusations, any

finger pointing a lie and saying it will conduct an independent instigation. take a listen to what the krlin spokesperson said. >> we're getting reports that yevgeny prigozhin himself was aware of threats to him or had been warned about threats to him. including from the president of belarus and close putin ally, who said he had twice warned yevgeny prigozhin about the possibility of threats to his life. but in those comments to state media, he went on to say he did not believe president putin was behind this and he was a cautious and careful man. but again, what is not

surprising here is the crash itself and whether or not we'll get answers. that's difficult tos a taint when you realize that everything there is happening inside russia, on russian territory, by russian investigators. >> you're exactly right. appreciate that. i want to bring in an investigative journalist and the author of "the red web." he joins us live from london. thank you so much for being here with us. as we just heard from our reporter there, it's unlikely we'll really get any answers here, but what are your sources in russia telling you about who they think is behind prigozhin's death? >> it's quite interesting that in all previous cases when we had poisonings, the sources inside always tried to make a case for some mysterious element within the military or security

services and they tried to blame that for these attacks. not in had this case. they said it looks like prigozhin made a deal with putin, but it was a different kind of deal. it was putin who was behind this attack. but officially, and i would say for the public, they promote some strange conspiracy theories. one promoted by people close to the kremlin is it was it was just for show. >> but in the other instances that you have talked about, rarely is there an investigation or a conviction. is it possible someone could have acted independently assuming that it was what putin wanted and also that there would be no consequences? >> we need to remember after the mutiny, the military

intelligence has been under a microscope. all the russian security services are under a microscope because there was a huge investigation trying to understand who was too close to prigozhin. in this kind of climate to try to pull off something like that completely independently, i don't think it's possible. >> so with prigozhin's death, putin theoretically rids himself of a problem, an enemy, a rival, but putin also lost a man who was incredibly useful to him in many different ways. not just abroad against enemies, but within russia itself. you have called him a dark fixer. so explain how valuable prigozhin was in that capacity. >> prigozhin was extremely valuable because he was a guy who knew how to do things, how to intimidate russians, something putin fought a lot

after the war started. you need to mobilize your leads. and that's why prigozhin was so important. he talked about sending russian oligarchs and bureaucrats, and that scared off a lot of people. he also was extremely useful to keep the military commandment and leadership off balance. and without prigozhin, these problems hard to keep the leadershipen on the leash is still there. putin will need to find some replacement, and it's not easy to do. >> so there's still a need for one of these adventurer, as you put it. the need is still there. especially during a wartime regime. are you saying there's another prigozhin waiting in the wings?

>> well, prigozhin was extremely unique. he enjoyed this direct access to putin. not a lot of people will have this it kind of access. probably because they are closest to prigozhin in this capacity. so let's see. otherwise putin would need to rely on something completely new. it would be really interesting to see what is the option. but he needs that because he knows it's still capable of producing really ambitious generals. >> what do you think putin has learned from this experience and how might the role of one of these dark fixers evolve maybe in the coming years? >> the problem for him was this is hard to balance between not

extremely competent, but predictable. and people who are much more adventurous, but capable of coming up with some really interesting and surprising solutions to very difficult problems. now putin understood that at a time of war, he needs to rely more on people who are predictable. because it might cause a problem and that might put everything in a very vulnerable position. >> interesting balance he would have it strike there. fascinating conversation. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. donald trump looks to turn his georgia arrest into a political advantage. how the former u.s. president is make ing his mug shot the focusf his campaign's fundraising push. plus the first republican debate is in the books. we'll have a look at which candidates did enough to win over voters.

welcome back to all of you watching here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." i want to get back to one of our top stories this hour. donald trump is looking to capitalize on the media attention from his arrest and booking in the georgia election subversion case. the former u.s. president is slapping his mug shot on t-shirts and coffee cups as part of a fundraising push. trump and his co-defendants turned themselves in over charges related to efforts to overturn georgia's 2020 election results. the republican front runner was

immediately released on bail after being processed. only one of trump's codef co-defendants remains in custody. trump's calendar has become increasingly crowded between campaigning and multiple criminal and civil cases. kristen holmes reports on how lawyers plan to handle it all. >> reporter: donald trump has had multiple conversations on how to navigate a potential trial while he is campaigning for president in 2024. now most of the advisers i talked to say they don't belief that's going to happen. they believe that the lawyers and legal maneuvering are going to be able to delay these trials. but they aren't entirely positive that is the case, particularly as they start to mount up. i want to show you what the call dart is now. these dates are subject to change. we hook the at them. october 23rd, 2023, that's the proposed trial days for georgia. then you look at january. the 2nd is the potential trial for the 2020 election charges.

the 15th is both the iowa caucus and potential ly the e. jean car really trial. so this givehouse an idea of why exactly they are having these kinds of conversations. when they talk about this, one of the things they hope for, one of the strategies they hope to implore is making this a media spectacle and capitalize ing on it. it's one thing they believe president trump good at doing and point to the coverage on thursday. they were happy with the way the coverage went. they felt they dominated the air waves and sucked the life out of many of the other candidates, even though there had been a republican primary debate the day before. they also talk about the fact former president trump is good at capitalizing on when he has media attention. showing the fact that he was able to tweet on twitter and putting out his mug shot for the first time since january of 2021. this was something people were speculating about.

he's continuing to grasp on the media narrative, and that's their hope during these trials. even though they say that, they believe it could help politically, i talked to a number of allies who believe this media coverage, no matter how trump spins it, is going to be exhausting for voters. but we are still in these unprecedented times. any of this how it plays out is going to be a waiting and seeing game. this right now is how they are preparing. >> in a little over a month from now, several republican hopefuls will take the stage again in the second primary debate. the bar is much higher this time. candidates required to have more donors and higher polling numbers. as we wait to see all who will earn their spot on that stage, john king show us where iowa voters stand following the first debate. >> it is debate night and in

iowa, popcorn is the snack of choice. betsy is thrilled to watch with her parents and thrilled donald trump decided to boycott and leave the stage to others. >> i think the past it's felt like the schoolyard bully calling his friends names. i'm not interested in that. >> she's a suburban mother and two-time trump voter eager to move on. >> i'm pulled towards ron desantis. >> he was her favorite when we first met several weeks ago and as she tuned in wednesday night, but the debate shook things. >> my personal favorite was nikki haley. she had a lot of commentary on different topics. where i said, wow, i agreed with everything she said right there. she also came across as not nasty, but knowledgeable. there's a difference. >> this is a typical residential install. >> reporter: a solar energy company is a strong trump supporter. when we first met had this to

say about the former governor. i'm not a big nikki haley fan. >> why? >> i have never connected to her. >> he's still for trump. but after the debate said she made good use of her time. >> let's treat this like the respectful issue that it is. >> nikki haley really helped herself, he told us. so a good night for haley was one clear take away from our iowa group. another was that entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy stirs a tr trump-like divide. >> president trump was the best president of the 21st century. >> trump supporter mud loved it. i'm for the usa, he text. trump reps that best in my opinion. vivek sounds great. this is earlier this month after a vivek ramaswamy event. >> he's got energy. he's young. i really liked him. >> post debate, this. he just isn't grown up enough to be president. he's trying to be trump, but he

isn't. >> vivek ramaswamy probably within the down because of that abrasiveness. >> what is toxic in the suburbs is tonic to others in today's gop. >> trump people might have found that attractive about vivek ramaswamy. he might pull some of crowd. >> trump is way ahead and that won't change at the anti-trump vote is sprinkled across this debate stage. >> our country is in decline. >> his statement was powerful when he said the country is in a downward spiral. desantis has been elevated for me. >> that's a shift from a few weeks ago. >> there's a lot offic around him. >> how these suburbs shake out, so if there's a new favorite after debate number one -- >> haley and desantis ticket?

>> the shopping will continue, and for many, math more than policy will shape the final choice. >> the question is can she win. that's my main question. she personally would be my favorite candidate right now. but delasantis at this point los more viable. >> pass the popcorn, the second debate is in a month. >> donald trump's scowling mug shot will rank among the most famous of all time. we'll have more coming up on "cnn newsroom." plus spain's soccer federation is threatening legal action against a soccer star following hr saying that a kiss at world cup by the group's president was entirely unwanted. we're live with the latest please stay with us.

you want to get back to one of our top stories this hour. donald trump became the first former president with a mug shot when he was placed under arrest at the fulton county jail on thursday evening. but trump isn't the only politician immortalized this way. here's the 2011 mug shot of former senator john edwards when he faced charges of misusing campaign funds to hide the exist tense of his mistress and their child. he joined celeb fits like o.j. simpson and other who is have had their pictures taken after run-ins with the law. who could forget when jean fonda was arrested in cleveland on trumped up drug smuggling charges in 19 70. she raised up a defiant fist in her mug shot. the photos aren't just for historical figures. many of the biggest rows

those are fans in madrid calling for the resignation of spain's soccer chief. the country's soccer federation is coming to his defense threatening to take legal action against the player who says he kissed her against her will. the federation says he is telling the truth when he says the kiss was mutual. the player says it was nonconsensual and she was the victim of a sexist act. in a defiant speech on friday, he said he did nothing wrong and will not resign. spain's world cup champions issued their own ultimatum. >> the scandal continues to overshadow what should be a joyous moment for spain's women's football team. they were crowned world champions, but still dealing with the unsavory fallout involving the football

federation chief. a man who is refusing to resign after video showed him placing that unwanted kiss on their star player just minutes after the victory over england. on a dramatic friday of new developments, we can tell you over 80 players are saying they won't play for spain's team until he's removed from his post. the player is speaking out making it clear she did not consent to the kiss, which he claimeder yerl in the day was consensual. in a statement, i feel a obliged to report his words explaining the unfortunate incident are categorically false and manipulative culture that he has generated. i want to make it clear that at no time did the conversation to which he refers to in his address take place, and above all, was had his kiss ever consensual. i want to reiterate as i did before that i did not like this incident. she was put under continuous

pressure to have a staumt to justify the actions. he said the kiss during that world cup trophy celebration in the aftermath of the win over england in sydney was mutual. the 46-year-old, who said had been expected to announce his resignation on friday, instead he would choose words of defiance. >> translator: it was spontaneous, mutual, euphoric and with consent, which is the key. this is the key to all the criticism, of all the campaign, which has been fomounted in thi country that it was without consent. no, it was with consent. >> rubiales getting multiple rounds of applause during his speech and also get a standing

ovation at the end from some in attendance, including some women. but then came just a short while later some really powerful and strong words from the president of spain's high council of sport, who says the council will look to suspend rubiales as quickly as it can while following due process. >> translator: i believe we are in a position to call this the me too of spanish football and that this is a change. >> me too of spanish football. a lot to unpack there, and a lot to comprehend in this ever-involving story. we'll stay on the latest right here on cnn and on our sport sport show as well. for now, it's right back to you. here in the u.s., four-time gold medalist simone biles kicked off her quest for a title in gymnastics on friday. andy scholes joins me now.

it's fair to say many people didn't know what to expect here, whether she could live up to the past, but she's certainly answered many questions. >> same old simone biles, she gets out there and continues to wow us. she made her return earlier this month. this weekend she's looking to make even more history. no athlete has ever won eight u.s. titles. now biles, a little shaky start on the beam, but are rerecovered. she had a dazzling performance there. she then doing things only she can do on the vault. just another fantastic performance. she finished first place in the all around vault, floor routine and the balance beam on friday. and here was biles on her day and what drives her to kpeep competing. >> the beam started off rough, but that's to be expected. you get your nerves out of the way. it was pretty smooth sailing.

i'm happy with the overall meet today. i just have personal goals that i want to meet and keep pushing forward. that's what i'm aiming for. >> the competition concludes sunday night. the paris 2024 olympics, believe it or not, now less than a year away. the top 30 golfers in the pga tour are in atlanta competing in the tour championship. golf's top prize, an $18 million check is going to go to the winner. and colin mohrrikawa going 6 under. that coming after he had the round of his life, a 61 on thursday. so morikawa breaking tiger woods' record for the lowest two-round score at the tour championship. he's tied with hovland at the top of the leaderboard. scottie scheffler is two 2 shots off the lead. rory mcilroy is lurking there 6 shots back. it's going to be another superer hot day again in atlanta. so we'll see who can once again play well in the heat.

finally, the son of lebron james is expected to make a full recovery after suffering cardiac arrest on the basketball court. the 18-year-old was taken to the hospital last month after collapsing during a team workout at usc. a spokesperson for the family confirmed the cause in a statement on friday saying it is an atomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect that can and will be treated. we are confident in his full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future. so that was the question. would it be something they would be able to identify as the cause and treat it so he could continue playing basketball, and that's the great news. it turned out to be the case. >> plenty of people have had sort of similar problems and had to call it quits, so great news he's able to continue. for folks not necessarily following his career, but know lebron james, very hard -- big
