hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. one crisis ends as another begins. why u.s. house speaker kevin mccarthy's decision to work across the aisle to avoid a government shutdown has put his leadership role at risk. u.s. funding for ukraine also on the line after being left out of the government spending bill. what that could mean for kyiv's fight against russia. and taylor swift embraces her nfl era. the pop superstar's appearance at recent games is giving the league an economic boost.

good to have you with us. after congress narrowly passed a short-term spending bill to keep the government open, u.s. president joe biden is now urging lawmakers to approve new funding plans before the next deadline. he says lawmakers should pass a year-long budget deal and authorize more aid for ukraine within the next month and a half. he's also calling on both parties to act fast, saying they should stop waiting until the last minute to get things done. >> i'm sick and tired, i'm sick and tired of the brinksmanship. and so are the american people. i've been doing this, you all point out to me a lot, a long time. i've never quite seen a republican congress or any congress act like this. >> but getting house republicans in line for a vote could become more challenging in the days ahead. a far-right republican who opposed the spending bill says

he will soon try to oust house speaker kevin mccarthy after he worked with democrats to pass the measure. matt gaetz told cnn he will soon force a vote on whether to remove mccarthy, saying the republican leader cannot be trusted. cnn's melanie zanona has more on the challenges facing mccarthy. >> reporter: speaker kevin mccarthy may have avoid the a government shutdown, but now he is facing a showdown with his critics. and that is because he opted to put a stopgap bill on the floor at the 11th hour, but did not include many of the demands his conservative hardliners were seeking and instead ended up getting the support of nearly every single house democrat. republican matt gaetz is promising to make good on his threat to try to oust kevin mccarthy as speaker as soon as this week. kevin mccarthy says he's not scared of the fight. let's take a listen. >> i do intend to file a motion to vacate against speaker mccarthy this week. i think we need to rip off the band-aid. i think we need to move on with

new leadership that can be trustworthy. >> so be it, bring it on, let's get over with and it let's start governing. if he's upset because i made sure government didn't shut down, let's have that fight. >> reporter: in order for gaetz to succeed, he's going to need the majority of the house chamber. he's likely going to need most if not all democrats behind him in order for this to work. it's unclear at this point what democrats are going to do. most of the democrats that i talked to say they're reluctant to bail out mccarthy. they feel they can't trust him, they don't like that he just launched an impeachment inquiry into president joe biden without sufficient evidence. but there are some moderate democrats who are really worried about throwing the house into chaos. so as of this point, rakim jeffries, the democrats' leader, is counseling members to keep their powder dry and democratic leadership put out a letter on sunday saying they're going to talk about the issue as a caucus this week. the republican division in

the house doesn't appear to be impacting donald trump's campaign for president. on sunday, he said he was not aware of the potential plan to oust kevin mccarthy from his speakership. >> do you spart matt gaetz's efforts to remove speaker mccarthy? >> i don't know what i think about those efforts but i like both of them very much. >> trump made those comments during a campaign stop in iowa. he highlighted the state's agricultural industry and pitched himself as the best candidate for farmers while slamming his opponent, florida governor ron desantis. >> no one gets abused on trade like the american farmer, except the four years we had trump. i took good care of you. i took good care of you. because i respect the farmer. his entire career has shown that ron desanctis is a sworn enemy of the american farmer. how does that play in iowa, i don't know.

senator, does that play well in iowa? they call him an enemy of the farmer. that means he's going to be an enemy of the farmer as soon as an election would be over. in florida he's been voting horribly. and he's been vetoing funding and support for farmers left and right. you know that. now he's trying to lie about his record. >> in the hours ahead, trump will appear in person for the start of his civil fraud trial in new york. the former president, who arrived in the city just a short time ago, made that announcement on social media. new york attorney general letitia james brought the lawsuit alleging the former president, his eldest sons, and his company engaged in fraud. just last week, the judge overseeing the case ruled that trump is liable for fraud and that he overvalued his properties on financial statements for a decade. the new york attorney general is seeking $250 million in damages

and a ban on the trumps serving as officers of a business in the state. cnn's senior political analyst ron brownstein joins me now, also a senior editor at "the atlantic." so congress narrowly averted a government shutdown saturday with house democrats helping to pass a stopgap measure which has put republican kevin mccarthy in jeopardy. can he survive an attempt from the far-right to oust him as speaker, do you think? >> the remarkable answer to that question is, it depends on what democrats do. you know, in the house, much like in a parliamentary system, the minority party usually has very little power. but in this case, there are enough republicans who are probably willing to depose mccarthy if enough democrats also vote to do so, when is what you would typically expect. but the democratic leadership is playing its cards very close to

the vest and not sending out clear signals about whether they will join in this effort to vote out mccarthy. >> and president joe biden says the brinksmanship which we've seen has to end. so what role might the democrats play in any effort to remove mccarthy from the speakership, and of course to prevent funding for ukraine to continue along with the uncompromising spending cuts that the gop want to see happen? >> first of all, it's really an unprecedented situation. we have not had a motion to vacate, in effect to fire the speaker, since 1910. and in that example, i do not believe the minority party was the decisive bloc of votes. we know the vast majority of republicans will vote to keep mccarthy in place. but because there are enough that will vote to put him out, democrats can join with them and actually remove him.

one school of thought in the democrats says the devil you know. mccarthy has been a very partisan speaker. he launched an impeachment inquiry into biden without any hard evidence to justify it. but at least you kind of understand who he is and now, twice, with the debt ceiling and the government shutdown, he has behaved in a generally responsible way. building a bipartisan vote to avoid potentially catastrophic economic consequences. the other part of the democratic party puts the emphasis on the other part. that mccarthy has been a deeply partisan speaker, he has generally conceded almost whatever the far are-right wants, and democrats should not lift a finger to save him. plus there's certainly an understandable view among many democrats that the more chaotic republicans' management of the house becomes, the better it is for the democrats' chances of winning it back in 2024. i really don't know what they are going to do. my instinct is the white house will kind of fall on the devil

you know side of the equation, and that will probably lead to enough democrats supporting him to survive, but i wouldn't rule out the other possibility either. >> on another issue, donald trump's trial gets under way today in new york. the first of multiple trials. the civil fraud lawsuit against him and his oldest sons, their companies, and executives comes after a state appellate court denied trump's motion to stay the trial. how are things looking for him politically as his legal woes mount? and what are the implications of this specific trial, do you think? >> first of all, there's no question that within the context of the republican primary he has been able to convince the vast majority of republican voters, and maybe they didn't need that much convincing, to see all of these indictments and all of these other trials -- civil verdict in new york on the sexual abuse claim, what's coming here with this already sweeping ruling from the judge -- he's been able to convince republican voters to see it in the way he wants them

to see it. as an attack on them through him. they're going after you, but i'm just in the way is what he says. it's a very different question what this might mean to a general election. i think people are much too quick to write off the idea that this could be a significant burden for him if he is the republican nominee. americans are hesitant about re-electing joe biden. we see that, concerns about his age, about inflation. so it's not as if donald trump's legal troubles are a silver bullet for democrats. but i think that many republicans have been too quick to assume that because none of this is fazing republican primary voters, that it will be equally indifferent for general election voters. when you have a candidate who's case for managing the economy is based on his business acumen and his companies are being convicted of systematic fraud or judged to have committed

systematic fraud, that is a potentially serious challenge for the core of his candidacy. the idea he can manage the economy period than biden. >> ron brownstein, thanks so much for your analysis, always appreciate it. the european union's foreign policy chief is reassuring kyiv that ukraine's future lies within the eu. youssef burrell says he is queening all the member states' foreign ministers in ukraine's capital today, the first-ever such being outside of eu borders. cnn's nada bashir joins us now live from london. nada, this meeting of the eu foreign ministers is a significant show of support that comes as ukraine watches the wavering dedication from some u.s. lawmakers. what more can you tell us about the significance of today's meeting? kyiv? >> reporter: absolutely right, rosemary, we've heard just in the last hour from the eu high

representative josep borrell saying all his colleagues within the european foreign affairs council are taking this as an opportunity to express their will, their commitment, to continue supporting ukraine over the course of this ongoing war. to continue to offer that support over the course of the continued counteroffensive. this is an extraordinary and symbolic show of support from the european union. it's the first time that this sort of meeting, though informal in technical terms, will be taking place outside of the european union premises. so this is, of course, a significant step for the eu. we heard from the ukrainian foreign minister speaking alongside borrell just in the last couple of minutes, he said that this is symbolic in showing it's taking place perhaps outside european borders right now, but this is taking place within future european union borders. of course, ukraine adamant and confident they will become a member of the european union. but as you mentioned, there has

also been some discussions, some focus on the back of the u.s. congress budget decision which does not include provisions for additional funding for ukraine, that has certainly sparked some concern. we heard yesterday from josep borrell speaking in ukraine, expregging the european union's concern in response to this decision, take a listen. >> to tell the truth, we were surprised at the fact that the last-minute agreement has taken a decision that we have to regret. deeply. i have hope that this will not be a definitive decision and your claim will continue having support of the u.s. >> reporter: in the last hour the ukrainian foreign minister saying he does not believe u.s. support has been shuttered, that ukrainian officials are in touch with u.s. officials in congress. we've heard from the ukrainian

foreign minister saying they're working with u.s. partners to ensure a new budget will include provisions for additional funding for ukraine. certainly some confidence on that front from ukrainian officials. but of course, this is a big step. we've heard from josep borrell reaffirming the european union's support. we've had a little sense of what today's discussions will be focusing on youssef borrell, saying they will be looking at president zelenskyy's proposed peace plan in ukraine and trying to garner support from the international community for this peace plan. rosemary? >> we'll continue to watch this story very closely. nada bashir joining us live from london, many thanks. cnn military analyst and retired u.s. air force colonel cedric hey ton joins me now. an honor to have you with us. >> thank you so much, rosemary, it's great to be with you. >> so the failure of congress to pass funding for ukraine in that stopgap bill to keep the government open came just days after ukrainian president

volodymyr zelenskyy appealed for continued u.s. support on capitol hill, enough that president joe biden and top aides voiced confidence that new funding would be approved. what will likely happen if that funding for ukraine does not get passed? >> well, that would definitely be a worst-case scenario, rosemary. and the key thing to think about here is that if the funding is not passed, if ukraine does not get funding for its war effort, then it's a very bad situation. in fact, i would call it a desperate situation. i think that the funding will get passed eventually, but any delay in this type of funding is going to have a significant impact on the training efforts, for example, with the f-16s or the abrams tanks. and it's also going to have an impact on the supply chain when it comes to supplying and resupplying ammunition and weapons systems for the

ukrainian war effort. just when that war effort was beginning to show some signs of success in that counteroffensive that we've been looking at for the last few months. >> so why do you think it is that some republicans don't understand this situation and that failing to fund ukraine is a win for vladimir putin, in essence? >> yeah, that the real problem. the isolationist mold of the republican party of about 100 years ago. and it is something that is very different from let's say the republican party of ronald reagan of the 1980s or even the party of dwight d. eisenhower in the 1950s. it's a very different republican party, at least for those elements of it that do not support funding for ukraine. i think the big issue is that it's a misunderstanding that some of the events happening in places like ukraine don't impact -- they think they don't impact the united states or its allies.

and it's a very nationalistic, very usa-centric view of the world. and unfortunately, we can't afford to have a usa-centric view of the world. we have to view the world as being something we're all interdependent, we're all working together for a certain goal. and especially with our nato partners, which have achieved a great deal of success when it comes to dealing with ukraine. this becomes doubly important, and in the case of this funding measure, becomes doubly troubling as well. >> so colonel, what are the likely ramifications? and consequences if russia wins this war because ukraine doesn't receive sufficient funding and support from the u.s. specifically on time? >> well, i think if russia were to actually win this war, it would mean it would be obliteration of the ukrainian state. it would mean the demise of not only the ukrainian government, but ukrainian culture, ukrainian

language. in essence, what we'd be looking at the very least, cultural genocide, in some cases, physical genocide. this is something that i think is very dangerous. we do not want to see this. we should have kept the lessons of the 1945 from the end of world war ii in mind when we are considering measures like this. and it becomes really important for us to look at this in -- with the long lens of history. and with an idea of putin's strategy. putin's strategy is divide and conquer. if he divides us from our partners and is able to make something like this happen where the ukrainian aid is not passed to the ukrainians, then it becomes much easier for putin to move into areas of europe, gain influence in europe. we've seen the results of the slovak elections, for example. that becomes a critical issue where nato becomes frayed and putin has a much freer rein in

europe. that is something we don't want to see and we really shouldn't see in the europe of today. >> colonel cedric layton, we thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> thank you, rosemary. the late california senator dianne feinstein will lie in state at san francisco city hall on wednesday. the funeral will be held the following day and will be closed to the public. feinstein passed away last week at the age of 90 and was the longest-serving female senator in u.s. history. california governor gavin newsom will appoint la upon sa butler to feinstein's senate seat. she's president of emily's list, a group that works to support democratic women who support abortion rights. butler will be the only black female senator serving in congress and just the third in u.s. history. still to come, we will go live to spain to get the latest on a deadly fire that ripped

through a nightclub on sunday, killing at least 13 people. slovakia's former president, robert fico, reiterates his stand on ukraine as his party wins the parliamentary election.

been killed and 40 injured after the roof of a church collapsed in northern mexico. as many as 30 others are believed to be trapped under the rubble. authorities say about 100 people were at the church when the collapse occurred. several emergency teams and red cross volunteers are on the scene to help with the search and rescue. turning to spain now where at least 13 people have died in the country's deadliest nightclub fire in decades. the cause of the blaze which broke out early sunday in the southeastern city of nucia is not yet known, but officials fear the death toll could rise as search operations continue. journalist al goodman joins me now live from madrid. al what more are you learning about this deadly fire? >> reporter: hi, rosemary.

a police spokesman told cnn late sunday that other nationalities, not just spaniards, are among the victims of this tragedy. more details expected on that soon. the mayor of morcia, spain's seventh-largest city, promised the full weight of the law for the people responsible for this tragedy. 13 bodies have been recovered. here's what the mayor had to say about them. >> translator: 13 bodies have been found, all of them are now at the institute of legal med for autopsies. of these 13, three have been identified through fingerprints and the rest cannot be identified through this test and will have to be identified through dna tests. >> reporter: the deputy mayor said in addition to the 13, five others are reported missing br family members, four people were injured. the nightclub district is in an industrial and commercial area just outside of downtown. police say it attracts a wide range of people from

18-year-olds up to 50-year-olds depending on what kind of music is being played. some of them come from morcia's huge agriculture business that exports fruit and vegetables all across europe. there were three discotheques in a row in a building, authorities say. the bodies were recovered and the worst of the fire was at one on the end. what authorities don't know is whether the fire burned from that one to the other two, or if it started in the middle and burned out. they know it started on the second floor and burned up and the roof caved in. the police official saying because it started at 6:00 in the morning sunday morning local time, and a lot of people had already gone home, it could have been a lot worse if it had been hours earlier when the discos were fully packed and it started on the first floor. family members who are waiting for loved ones have been taken to a sportscenter, being helped by psychologists and others. one man there told spanish media his daughter sent a phone voice message to the family saying she

was trapped in the fire, she didn't know if she was going to get out. it is the worst fire since 1990 in terms of fatalities. 43 people died at a previous one, and the very worst in spain was the 1980s, 81 people died. spanish officials are trying to get these things under control. rosemary? >> horrifying and heartbreaking details there. al goodman bringing us the latest from madrid, many thanks. still to come, former slovakia prime minister robert fico's party won a significant slice of the vote but can he get the coalition he needs to return to power? the crisis at the u.s. border. in the wake of a recent surge of migrants, one county bordering mexico has declared a humanitarian crisis.

u.s. border patrol agents are breathing a sigh of relief now that a government shutdown has been averted. those agents are considered essential employees and would have been forced to continue working without pay if the funding bill was not passed. cnn's camila bernal has more on the influx --

many with the help of a smuggler. we ran into one offering openly at the border. he asked us not to show his face and distort his voice for fear of being killed. to get to the u.s. you need at least $2,500? the illegal trafficking of people operating almost like a travel agency. they arrange the trip starting in the middle east, asia, south or central america, then buy plane tickets and tell migrants exactly where to go. with each paying a few thousand dollars or between $9,000 to $12,000 for mexican nationals, the business is lucrative. he says they're at war with another cartel, so the only way to get money is by bringing people in.

people like alexander. he says he came here because of the violence that you live in colombia. the number of hundreds of people being here at any given time over the last couple of weeks is not normal. >> reporter: behind me is mexico. this is an area in boulevard, california, where there is a gap in the border wall. a lot of the migrants are able to walk into the united states. they continue this walk along the border wall and eventually turn themselves in to border patrol. this is where that asylum process begins. >> they don't have food, they don't have water, they don't have supplies on them. >> reporter: jacqueline with the nonprofit "border kindness" says there's not enough to address the need. >> just regular folks patching up together in a humanitarian response to a huge crisis is not sustainable. >> reporter: this week the county of san diego with a bipartisan vote unanimously

declared a humanitarian crisis. >> the reason we're advocating the federal government get engaged in this process is because this is a federal issue. we're talking about asylum seekers that legally have the right to be here and to be processed and to get to their final destination. >> reporter: the hope is that the federal government provides for migrants like maya. and thousands of others who, after being processed by customs and border protection, will eventually be released in the t streets of san diego. she says she wants to work, be honorable, and have a good job. but first they wait in the desert. these makeshift shelters their only protection. camila bernal, cnn, boulevard, california. workers from the united nations have arrived in that gun that barakat to help with refugees.

azerbaijan reclaimed droll of the breakaway, leavie ikarabakh citizens few choices. >> translator: they raped somebody's daughter-in-law, daughter, stuff like this. this nests in your mind and you can't imagine living there. >> translator: how could we live with turks when we remember how we've lost our heroes, our boys? i've left so many things there, but i'm not concerned. if there is a choice between leaving things behind and staying, i choose leaving. >> more than 100,000 refugees have fled to armenia amid the crisis, according to the united nations refugee agency. the u.n. says at least 31% of the refugees are children and nearly 20% of elderly. many citizens have lost hope of returning after the president of the region dissolved state institutions. poland is looking ahead to an election that gives voters

two starkly different choices when it comes to governing the country. massive crowds gathered in poland's capital sunday for a rally. the liberal opposition is hoping the "million hearts march" can build momentum before the october 15th vote. they're framing the election as a national referendum on the conservative law and justice party. many voters say they're ready for change. >> translator: i have two daughters, and i would like them to be able to live in a good, calm, and intelligent country. not to be afraid for their future. and to be able to live freely. >> translator: i want a poland that is free, democratic, european, open to the world, friendly, that doesn't isolate itself. i want people to reconnect with each other as they did before. >> the law and justice party has controlled poland since 2015. the opposition says the ruling party is looking to leave the european union, but the law and justice party denies those

claims. voters in neighboring slovakia are waiting to see who will be their next government. the party of former prime minister robert fico got the highest percentage of votes at parliamentary leaks over the weekend. fico says as prime minister, he would do everything he could to kick-start peace talks between russia and ukraine. >> translator: we think ukraine is a huge tragedy for all, and the cabinet, whether it has the prime minister or not, we will do our best even in the eu to get peace talks under way as soon as possible. >> for more we want to go to cnn's scott mcclain live from london. where do things go from here? what are the implications of these results? >> reporter: yeah, now come the hard part of actually negotiating behind the scenes, horse trading, trying to figure out if robert fico can actually form a coalition government. he got the most votes, 23% of

the votes. but it is entirely possible that when the dust settles on all these negotiations, that he's actually not the prime minister of slovakia. it is customary for him to get the first crack at forming a government. you can see the results here. he'd actually not ruled out the possibility of working with the republic part, a far-right party which shares his views on ukraine and russia. remember, robert fico said that it was ukrainian nazis and fascists to provoked russia into war. that party actually didn't get 5%, which is the threshold to actually get seats in parliament. there are seven parties that did, and so it is very likely he needs more than one partner. the most likely scenario is that he pairs up with the halas party, an offshoot of his party that broke away. but they share sort of similar values. and that party says, look, it's difficult to see how a coalition

government could function without us. he's likely going to need a partner in addition to the halas party to actually make this work. fico was also asked >> translator: slovakia has bigger problems than ukraine. we do not change anything but the fact that we are ready to help ukraine humanitarianly. our opinion on arming ukraine does not change. >> reporter: his opinion doesn't change on cutting off military aid to ukraine, but it may have to soften his stance in order to actually form a coalition and work with -- work to actually govern. he has a track record. he's been in office as prime minister before. being practigmatic and being flexible. this time around he also has the leader of the party which got

the second-most votes, progressive slovakia, saying it would do everything in its power to stop robert fico from becoming leader, he'll talk to other party leaders to make sure they don't end up forming a coalition government with him. there are still a lot of question marks, still a lot of things left to be decided. it could be weeks before we know. we've also got reaction from the ukrainian foreign minister on the election results. dmytro kuleba says ukraine respects the choice slovakia made and it's too early to know what the results will be once the coalitions have formed so they want to withhold comment until they know precisely who's going to be in office. turkey says it has destroyed 20 targets in northern iraq belonging to the pkk. just hours after the kurdish militant group claimed responsibility for a bombing outside the turkish interior ministry in ankara.

the ministry says two attackers killed a civilian and stole his vehicle. two police officers were able to stop the attackers. both were injured in the process. pkk is designated as a terrorist group by turkey, the united states, and europe. it has been waging an insurgency against ankara for four decades. the uk is deploying around 200 soldiers to kosovo amid rising tensions in the country. they will be supporting a nato peacekeeping mission that's been operating in kosovo for more than 20 years. it comes more than a week after an attack on police that left one officer dead and another injured. three armed men were also killed in the attack. the uk's defense ministry says their troops will join 400 others already in kosovo. still to come, fireworks light up a night sky of a victoria harbor. we'll get a live report from

>> a beak of festivities continues in china as the country marks the 74s anniversary of the people's republic as well as the mid-autumn festival. hong kong held its first national day fireworks in four years, with an estimated 400,000 locals and tourists attending. officials say they expect nearly 900 million trips throughout the country during the eight-day holiday period. cnn's kristie lu stout joins me now with more from hong kong. nearly 900 million trips? that is going to deliver the economic boost they want, right? >> reporter: we look at domestic tourism numbers, like the mid-autumn festival for golden

week in china. this is one of the first holiday periods since the pandemic and also since the end of china's tough zero-covid travel restrictions. yes, nearly 900 million trips are expected during this time. according to china's ministry of culture and tourism, some 896 million domestic trips will take place, an increase of about 86% from a year before. revenue from domestic tourism is expected to reach some $107 billion. trains are busier than ever. you can see there on your screen, railway stations across china. you see scenes like this of the surge in domestic train travel. in fact, according to china railway, some 190 million railway trips will be made during this travel rush. around 20 million passenger trips were made on one day alone on the first day of the holiday. despite the surge in domestic travel, china's overall outbound travel market is still low

compared to prepandemic levels. china's outbound international flight capacity is down around 50%. that's much lower compared to other countries. and tickets are still very high. international flight fares are still much pricier compared to 2019. china's economy is in a tough spot right now. it's struggling to recover after the pandemic, after zero-covid. so many consumers across the country are reluctant to splurge on expensive, pricey, overseas holidays. the chinese consumers who are going abroad, they're opting for cheaper destinations. asian destinations, closer to china. also places like thailand, which has become a top choice after thailand introduced a visa-free policy for chinese tourists. according to trip.com, we've learned that hotel bookings to thailand surged over 6,000% compared to the previous year after that policy was announced.

pretty significant. back to you. >> all right, kristie lu stout joining us live from hong kong, thanks. the nfl is enchanted with taylor swift. a look at how she's helping to boost ticket and jersey sales. that's ahead.

areas of the u.s. could see record-breaking heat to begin this first week of october. thankfully, cooler weather should move in later this week. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar has the forecast. >> over 40 possible records could be broken in the next several days across multiple areas of the u.s. we're talking about portions of the midwest to the northeast, even stretching down along the gulf coast. in a few places in texas, could be three or four days in a row of record-setting temperatures. but there will be an end to this heat in the next couple of days. and that's because it's going to shift farther to the east, really becoming more of a focus for the great lakes and the northeastern region of the country by the middle portion of this week. at the same time, cooler temperatures will start to spread into the central u.s. you can clearly see that on the

multi-day forecast. sioux falls from a high of 92 monday, dropping back to 69 by the time we get to wednesday. similar for minneapolis, topping out at 87 monday, dropping back to 68 on wednesday. even farther south, like in dallas, for example, looking at multiple days of temperatures in the 90s before dropping back into the 70s as we finish out the rest of the week. cooler temperatures setting in, but also rain chances increasing as well. for the northeast, temperatures will be on the rise. they won't necessarily be 15 to 20 degrees above average like we're seeing in the central u.s., but still most of these places looking at at least 5 if not as much as 10 degrees above average. for example, new york topping out at 81 on tuesday. their average high this time of year is only 70. philadelphia looking at highs both tuesday and wednesday in the low 80s, also 10 degrees above average. sunday was a good day to be a fan of the nfl's buffalo bills. the team's safety, damar hamlin,
