you are in the "cnn newsroom." we begin this hour with breaking news. seven people are injured this morning after a mass shooting at a parade in boston. police say that several people have been arrested and multiple firearms have been recovered. >> cnn's paula sandoval has more. >> good morning to you. at this point, there's zero indication there's actual active threat. the investigation is very much just getting started after an early morning shooting in boston. it left at least seven people hurt. their injuries, according to what police have confirmed this morning, are not life threatening. wasn't of them was getting underway. however, at this point, it's

still we have not heard any indication that this incident will interrupt today's festivities. it wouldn't be surprise ing if see a delay in that given the scope of this investigation when you see some of the pictures coming from the scene. you can see that police have a large crime scene to cover and to go through. but if there's any good news to report, it's none of the people who were hurt this morning. unclear if they were directly from the shooting itself. all of them are expected to survive after shots rang out in boston's dorchester neighborhood at 7:45. still a lot to learn in this one. we'll keep you posted. >>. >> tens oufs thousands are expected to gather. that was the day martin luther king jr. delivered his famous "i have a dream" speech, a day when 250,000 americans from all over

the nation converged on the national mall to demand equal rights for all. >> right now, let's take a look at live pictures in front of the lincoln memorial. we'll hear from civil rights leaders and the king family as they commemorate an historic moment in history. jason carroll is there. some have already spoken today. what are we expecting. >> reporter: i think what we have been hearing so far this morning is a recurring theme. that the fight for civil rights continues. it's not over. as i look out about the crowd that's gathered here behind us, i have spoken to people from arizona, from iowa, from new york, and they are all basically saying the same thing. despite all that is accomplished here at the lyincoln memorial 6 years ago, the work continues. there seems to be a movement in this country to turn the clock

back. specifically, when it comes to advancements in civil rights, specifically when it comes to u.s. history. the feeling is that there's an attempt to try to erase u.s. history as it relates to african-americans. i want you to listen to what some of the folks i spoke to this morning said about why they came out here today. >> 60 years later, we're still fighting for equality. our ancestors came and fought. we're still fighting. it's going to continue until they treat us as equal. >> we still have work to do. we are not voting. and now we have to bring this nation back together and continue to dream that dr. king did.

>> reporter: that was the cousin of martin luther king jr. also out here today, martin luther king iii. some of the themes we're expected to hear about voting rights, educational rights, economic equality, again over and over, people keep saying the fight continues. back to you. >> organizers say it's not necessarily just a commemoration, it's also a reminder that it's a continuation. jason car roll live for us, thank you. turning to the georgia election interference case. prosecutors in fulton county are preparing for a speedy trial for some of the 19 defendants charged. although the defense team for former president trump is trying to delay the start. >> trump and his 18 co-defendants are facing a variety of charges including racketeering and conspiracy. they all surrendered ahead of the deadline, but this morning only 1 of the 19 co-defendants remains in the fulton county

jail. cnn's isabel ro also is is live. but first, walk us through the next steps in trump's case. >> now that we have all 19 defendants surrendered, we et get into the question of how this trial is going to play out. it's complicated because the defendants don't have the same idea about how it should move forward. 2 of the defendants, they want this trial to happen quickly. they filed motions to have a speedy trial. a judge has already set a date of october 23rd. president trump does not want to have such a quick trial. he's opposing that. and potentially leading to a severing of these cases, where chesebro could have a separate trial from the other defendants. the other question is what venue is had this trial going to take place. we have now seen 5 of the 19 defendants have filed motions to

move the case from state court to federal court. that includes mark meadows, jeffrey clark, and three of the georgia officials who served as state electors. now one of the reasons they are doing that is that a jury pool in a federal trial would be wider than it would be if it was in fulton county because it would include some of the surrounding counties. it's an important question because former president trump is also expected to file a similar motion. now if this is going to succeed, we will learn more on monday because that is when meadows has a hearing before the district court judge, who will decide whether or not this motion to move the case to federal court is going to be successful. >> so isabel, as we said, one of these 19 co-defendants still in that fulton county gail perhaps

not a household name. remind us who he is and why hasn't he been released? >> unlike his co-defendants, floyd was not able to negotiate a bond agreement with the d.a.'s office prior to his surrender. that meant he had to stay in custody at the jail. he's the only 1 of 19 defendants that's still in the jail. now floyd is the former leader of black voices for trump. prosecutors here allege that floyd was involved in this plot to intimidate and pressure an election worker into false ly admitting that she committed massive fraud against trump during the 2020 election. on friday just yesterday, floyd there in court before a judge learned that he will remain in jail because it is ultimately judge mcafee who has been assigned this case, who will decide his bond. listen. >> i'm going to go ahead and find yourself a risk to commit

additional felonies and a risk to flee the jurisdiction. >> i got on a plane and voluntarily came here. i'm already on pretrial supervision. i have no issues with being on pretrial supervision. there's no way i'm a flight risk. >> i understand, mr. floyd. your bond is not going to be decided by me. it's going to be decided by the judge. he was assigned to handle your case. >> at last check, floyd has no representation. floyd told the judge that he could not afford a private attorney and the judge told him he did not meet the eligibility standards of a public defender. on a side note, floyd does face a separate charge of simple assault for allegedly assaulting an fbi agent at his home to serve him a subpoena to appear before a grand jury in washington, d.c.

>> thank you. great to see you. cnn national politics reporter daniel strauss is joining me to discuss all this. let's start with president biden sort of weighing in on trump's arrest yesterday. listen. >> have you seen donald trump's mug shot yet? >> i did see it on television. >> what did you think? >> handsome guy. wonderful guy. >> that's what president biden said when asked about seeing trump's mug shot. as you know, the white house has made it a point to stay mostly mum about trump's legal problems and issues he's facing. this will obviously be the strategy moving forward. tell us why that's so important for the biden administration. >> yeah, because the entire premise of the biden administration, what he ran on during his campaign is lowering the temperature, returning to a more serious, more mature custom

in the white house. and that involves judiciary matters, especially high profile ones like investigations into a former president. the white house has made clear from the beginning both with the hunter biden investigation and with the many felonies against donald trump that they want to leave this to the justice department and the american judicial system. they don't want to show or even spark any kind of sense that there is political meddling in all of this. that's what biden is doing. he's making sure not to weigh in in any manner because our american political and judicial system is set up so politics should not be involved in law enforcement. >> and back to the former president's mug shot, which is extraordinary in itself that we're even using the word mug shot and president in the same sentence, but there he is when he was booked at fulton county.

no surprise that trump is trying to fundraise off of this picture. in the short-term, it's going to raise some money for the campaign. it's going to galvanize his base, as we continue to see over and over again. but daniel, if trump becomes the republican party's nominee for president for 2024, might it be a different story or how might it be a dumpbt story when it comes to the general election? >> democrats are certainly betting so. they are eager to paste the former president's mug shot around the internet as much as they can because their view is that outside the republican party, outside of this republican that responds well to instances where they feel embattled, they feel the last republican president is under siege, the broader electorate will respond negatively.

that's going to be the bets of the democrats moving forward. they are going to highlight that the various conduct of the president in the past, outside of any judicial inkwir rirs going on now, but going forward, that's the bet of democrats. >> vivek ramaswamy, regard ing the debate, he obviously got the most attention following the debate on wednesday night. the most vocal and biggest supporter of trump. what is he angling for here? is he really -- does he believe his chances to get the republican nomination is good, or does he want to be vp? >> he's clearly run ning for president, but the deference he gives to former president trump in debates on stage alongside a number of other candidates all competing to beat trump in a primary does raise eyebrows

about how strongly he thinks his chances are of actually becoming president with trump on the ticket. that said though, it's clear from the last debate that he is in a better position, and a better debater, than many seasoned candidates in the republican field right now. >> we just learn ed that desantis' superpac called never back down made a major ad buy yesterday to the tune of $12 million booking air time in the fall, mostly in iowa. as we saw in the debate, desantis was standing in the middle, but he didn't obviously make a huge splash, as i'm sure he was hoping for. he was mostly on the sidelines of the debate. his campaign did report he raised more than a million dollars in the first 24 hours after the republican presidential debate. does this give you the sense that donors are feeling bullish

about his prospects? >> i think the data point suggests that desantis' light touch in the last debate, especially for a front runner without trump in the mix, shows that there are concerns among the donor community and among desantis supporters about the knocks on him so far. the fact that he didn't stumble too clearly, he didn't fall or make a weird comment that went viral shows that to a lot of supporters that he's still a viable candidate and growing more comfortable as a candidate. so it's weird. i can't think of many examples of candidates sort of fading into the background in a debate and really benefitting from that, but that's what we're seeing here. >> yeah, really strange. thank you so much. appreciate the conversation.

this comes after just a series of events where rubiales was defiant, refusing to step down as the president of spain's soccer federation. many expected him to resign after he was criticized for forcefully kissing a player during the trophy presentation. we'll show you the kiss on the right side of the screen. not only did he not resign yesterday in front of an extraordinary general assembly, he doubled down. he said that kiss was mutual and said he's going to fight to the end calling what was happening to him an unjust campaign and fake feminism. the player who was forcefully kissed released a statement saying in no way was that kiss mutual. she said, quote, i felt vulnerable and a victim of an impulse-driven act without any consent on my part. hermoso said she had been pressured to verify rubiales'

version of events. the players are standing by he hermoso. the chief's office tripled down and said he had not lied in his version of events and threatened legal action against hermoso. the federation said players have an obligation to participate in matches. so i think after fifa saw that latest statement from rubiales and his office, they are like, okay, this has gone far enough. we are going to suspend you until we have official proceedings to come to a resolution. >> that's a step. i have to say listening to your report on this all morning, and ever time you tell me the story, i'm shocked and keep shaking my head. >> every morning i come in expecting this thing is going to wind down. but it just keeps getting ratcheted up. >> incredible stuff. thank you so much. millions of people are under

monday. in the meantime, maui county has now suing the state's largest electric company. they claim hawaiian electric left power lines energized during the high winds and the fire was a result of their negligence. natasha chen explains. >> the maui county lawsuit against the electric companies alleges negligence and recklessness. they call this a human-made disaster, specifically the county is saying in this lawsuit, quote, defendants in action caused loss of life shs severe injuries, complete destruction of homes and businesses, displacement of thousands of people and damage to many of hawaii's historic sites. the electric companies didn't keep up their equipment well. there was advanced wood decay. they did not have a policy to shut down and dejrge news the lines when there were red flag

warnings in those days leading up to the fires that they knew there was a high probability that wildfires may happen. to that end, the ceo and president of hawaii electric said a week after the fires that that is actually controversial practice. even though there are places like california, oregon, nevada that shut down those lines, deenergized the way of preventing wildfires. to the lawsuit, the spokesperson of the utility companies told cnn that their main priority is to take care of residents and the county and they are disappointed that the county took this litigious route. "the washington post" is reporting that the utility actually removed poles and lines, other equipment from where the fires started preventing investigators from being able to deal with the original scene. that's according to the post's investigation into court documents, letters, records, cnn is still working to undependently confirm that.

the post does say those actions violated national guidelines on how utilities should handle and preserve evidence after a wildfire. to that, the spokesperson of the electric company said to the post that they are in regular communication with atf and local authorities cooperating to provide attorneys representing people by the wildfires with inventory and access to the removed equipment, which say they have carefully photographed, documented and stored. as you may have noted, the list of unaccounted people is under 400 now. down from more than 1,000. the fbi verified those names and the police chief did say that this was going to be a painful moment for the loved ones of the people listed there. right now, the death toll stands at at least 115. back to you. >> a very painful time for the

idensland. turning now to oppressive heat. 90 million people and more than 15 states are waking up to heat alerts this morning. >> in the south, scorching triple-digit heat is expected this weekend. but we could see a cooldown just around the corner. let's get to meteorologist allison chinchar. what does it look like? >> i think there's a lot of folks really hoping it would come sooner rather than later. two locations tied their all-time record highs. they hit 110 on friday and houston sit hiting 109 on thursday. both of those places still under excessive heat alerts for this today and we additional have additional ones in the southwestern united states. we're going to continue to see the temperatures jumping up in the coming days. and up to 11 on monday. phoenix 113 jumping to 115 on tuesday.

we're going to see the temperatures coming in the days. the opposite in the eastern half of the country, yesterday and the day before, the red color was up to minneapolis. starting to see the shrink back to the gulf coast. we'll continue to see that shrink back in the coming days. memphis, one more day of the triple-digit temperatures. they then drop back into the 80s. we're looking at heat along the gulf coast along several more days of the triple-digit temperatures. one thing that may provide some relief would be in the form of a tropical system. this development here just off the east coast of the peninsula is expecting to slide into the gulf. that could provide extra cloud cover and relief in the form of rain. right now it's a disorganized system. not really much to it. but the fact is it moves into the gulf, it's going to much more favorable environment.

we do anticipate this will become a tropical depression and into a tropical storm. in the coming days, then it's going to start to make its way up into florida as we get into tuesday and wednesday of this week. main focus now looks tok between pensacola and tampa. a lot could change. we'll keep you updated. >> thank you. still to come for us, aviation safety has been in the spotlight for after a number of airline near misses. how the faa is responding to the situation. that's next. d attention. it's not just a comfortable interior... it's a quiet refuguge. they're nonot just headlights... they light the way forward. the new fully electric audi q8 e-tron models... my name's dan and i live here in san antonio, texas. my wife magda and i have been married for 39 years. about three or four years ago,

collision, some close calls. it's good they are getting about $50 million of the money. and washington reagan is getting some of the money. it's only eight airports getting the money. two of the airports, one of them doesn't have commercial service at all near detroit, and also toledo, ohio, is getting some of the money and they only have a few flights with alee jant, a couple flights to florida and one to phoenix. so it's odd how they divided the money. but once again, additional funds for collision avoidance and airport improvement is good. >> i suppose every dollar helps in addition to what you say about the airports. let me ask in terms of the causes of these near collisions. i imagine they are not all the same. >> the office of inspector general looked at and have come

up with some pretty good numbers. 8 % of the near collisions or near misses is human error. and they break that down even further. two-thirds of the time they blame it on the pilot. miscommunication, getting confused on the runway, which is why grants are important to sort out the runways. pilot error confusion two-thirds of the time, but air traffic controller mistakes, one-third of the time. you rely on that air traffic controller. i'm a pilot who can say an air traffic controller saved my life. you rely on those instructions. that's something that only the faa can fix. the faa has fix that. that's why the second announcement this week they hired an additional 1500 control rs this year is hugely important because 77% of the air traffic control facilities don't even come up to 85% employment.

77% of the facilities are below 85% staffed. so the new hires are important, but training can take 18 months to 3 years. it's going to be awhile before we see all these people fully deployed. but that's a huge improvement. >> as you say, hiring will take time. technology will take time. how about next best steps? what can be put in place quickly? >> two things should be done immediately. they are both within the control of federal aviation administration. one is they are going to have to increase separations between aircraft. separation is safety. now they asked the airports to help by cutting back on some of their flights and using larger planes, not doing as many takeoffs and landings. and the airlines did for awhile agree to help, but during the busy summer season, that kind of slipped away. so they have to enforce increased separation between aircraft. and the other thing they can do,

and they have been harangued about this for years, it's absolutely no except. require every aircraft in the sky to have a transponder. without a transponder, all the wonderful collision avoidance equipment both at the airport and on the aircraft doesn't work. you have to have a transspand responder to be seen for collision avoidance. you can fly legally without one. the faa can stop that. >> do the airlines deserve any responsibility here? >> yes, they do. and that's why some of them voluntarily try to help solve this prb. everyone wants to fly, or at least that's what the airlines think. everyone want thes to fly at certain times a day. even the faa calls them the top 30 or top 35. and so the traffic has been impacted. and the airlines have also added on to this with their spoken hub system. we have impacted so much traffic

at so few airports. there are major cities and states with no air service at all. we funneled it all into 30 or 35 airports and at certain times of day. and the airlines have to take responsibility for that. that puts tremendous pressure on air traffic controllers. >> airports just remained as busy as ever at least for my estimation. great to see you. thank you. still to come, thousands of people are expected for the march on washington's 60th anniversary. these are live pictures out of washington where people are gathering. there are a lot ofpeople there. we'll have more on that, when we come back. like the subway serie. buy one footlong in the app, get one e free. for freeee. that's what i'm talking about. order in the subway app today.

welcome back. this weekend the nation is marking 60 years since the march on washington. >> these are live pictures we want to show you from washington, d.c. where people had begun gathering there. the 1963 march was a landmark event in the civil rights movement. more than 200,000 people poured into the nation's capital to demand an end to racial discrimination. dr. martin luther king jr. delivered his famous i have a dream speech. we're joined by dr. king's daughter, ceo of king center. what a pressure to have you on. this rally and march on washington is a continuation of the fight for civil rights. when you look at how politically polarized we are today and the conversations we're having about what did and didn't happen on

really focus their attention on the goal that we they were seek. i think those are some of the things he would be doing today is to not just challenging it, but really organizing people stray strajically to address each one of those issues you just raise d. >> you were born the year of the march 60 yoorz ago. what does your mother tail light you about that day? >> she said martin was at his best on that day. and in a moment when he shifted to talking about his dream, she felt like it was the moment when he was invoking what for us in our christian faith was a vision of the kingdom of god. and she was so proud of him in the way in which he presented

the speech. so she also said before everything began and they woke up that morning and looked out the window, they were concerned because they didn't see a lot of people moving on the streets. so they were fearing that enough people were not going to show up. but when they got to the mall, they saw lots of people and more and more people came. she was so delighted to see that all of the efforts were not in vain. so it was an exciting day and she felt very hopeful. that was the kind of person she was. >> how about your hope? the march was an iconic moment in the civil rights movement, but we have seen many civil rights being curtailed across the country, whether affirmative

action or crackdown on gay r rights. do you feel like we're going backwards and how much of your father's dream have we realized? >> it's part of the backlash when you're trying to make progress. there's always going to be those who are going to push against it. and pull together their strategies. we have to plan for those kind of things. but i'm hopeful just because i know that previous generations face difficulties. they face moments of making progress and then one step back. so there's something in human kind across the world that we have the ability to deal with these difficult moments and dark moments. because i km from these an sets sotorts, i know that we, too, c overcome what they are faced with now. it's going to be difficult. it's going to be challenging, but i know that this is just a

moment in time. if we continue, and that's why vigilance is important. if we continue to be vigilant, we will get through the season and overcome these pushbacks and be able to put the right policy in place. but more important, be able to create a society where we exist as the beloved community, where we may have conflicts, but we dissolve them where people are respected. we work in a common ground way to ward off those things that seek to day visit and separate us as a humanity. so i'm hopeful also because there's a generation like my niece and others with who are determined to be a part of this freedom struggle. we are going to be victorious. it's not going to be easy. i may not see certain things in my lifetime, but my dd didn't see things that i see today. as we continue the fight, as we continue the struggle and continue to remain vigilant,

we'll overcome and be in a different place. >> that's very uplifting to talk to you. thank you so much for the conversation this morning. before we go, we're going to turn back to our top story this hour. the new images are coming in from that mass shooting in boston that has sent seven people to the hospital. >> authorities closed off the scene of what was supposed to be a parade for a caribbean festival in dorchester, but quickly turned into a shooting that sent people running for cover. we do know several arrests have been made. multiple firearms were recovered by police. we'll continue to follow this story and bring you more details throughout the day. two people were shot while attending a white sox came in chicago friday night. details are still limited, but according to our cnn affiliate, the shooting apparently happened in the left field bleachers.
