live from atlanta oh, and welcome to all you watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world. >> i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom closing in on a vp pick. kamala harris prepares to meet with the final contenders in a search for a running mate, will look at who who they are and how they may impact her chances. plus, we're tracking tropical storm debby as it moves closer to florida, is now expected to reach hurricane strength before making landfall. epa latest update from the national hurricane center just ahead. and israeli forces and hezbollah militants in lebanon exchange a new round of strikes this fear of a widening conflict in the middle east intensifies live from atlanta cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber we're now in the critical final hours of kamala
2:02 am
harris's search for a running mate, a decision she has to make by tuesday, a source is telling cnn harris will interview top candidates, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and arizona senator mark kelly in the coming hours. harris is also expected to speak with minnesota governor tim walz. sources familiar with the selection process say there has been a renewed focus on walls. the harris campaign is having to move at lightning speed as the presumptive nominee is expected to appear with her new pick on tuesday in pennsylvania cnn's priscilla alvarez has more we're learning more about her face-to-face meetings with some of these vp contenders, which tells us that they are starting to close this process. >> of course this could continue over the course of the weekend and we're still the timeline here has always been that tuesday rally when they want to bail the running mate, but they're working against the clock here and what we're learning from a source is that tim waltz, the minnesota
2:03 am
governor, will be meeting with the vice president he has been one of the people on the shortlist as she also ways others, you see pictures of them there, including, for example, pennsylvania the governor, josh shapiro, and arizona senator mark kelly. now we got to this moment after days of team poring over documents as they worked in this accelerated timeline to vet or potential running mate picks that was led by former attorney general eric holder, who has been working and with a team. he was seen going into the naval observatory, the vice president's residence, and the plan was to present presentations. so 60 to 90 minutes of walking through each of the contenders. now of course, that could go long or short, the vice president is known over the course of her political career to ask a lot of questions and to drill down on the details and the follow-up has been that there will be interviews formerly conducted by the vice president
2:04 am
to we're inching closer to that, especially learning now that tim walz will be one of the people she interviews. but of course, one of the top considerations for the vice president has been electability. so who could strengthen her chances? and help democrats across the electoral map. but then to is what chemistry she has with them. of course she does not have a personal or close relationship with these contenders. so that is also part of the calculus and something that the team has been working on. an addition to the focus groups and the polling done on all of these candidates. so the vice president working around the clock here, she knows what the office entails. she holds it now and that is it's going to partially inform how she makes her decision moving forward. but again, going back to the new detail here is that she's going to interview tim waltz. he's expect to be one of, among others who will be interviewed after they had a day hunkering down on these presentations on each of those on her shortlist, but certainly
2:05 am
a very tight deadline and joining me now from rockville, maryland is aaron mannose. >> he's a lecturer and research associate with the university of maryland school of public policy, an expert on the american vice presidency. just the man for the occasion here. so listen, i'm going to start with a difficult question here. i had to put you on the spot. what would your sense of who would make the most likely pick here pete, first of all, thanks for having me on. >> i'm really enjoying my quadrennial moment of fame here. >> people keep asking me that i really can't say because first of all, they're all great. >> they really are all great candidate they all have a lot of pluses. everybody has a few minuses of course, but mostly pluses. the real question as personal set persisted. priscilla alvarez just said, is, what's the chemistry? because when you pick a vice
2:06 am
president, you're picking somebody you're going to be seeing every day when you're both in town for the next four, maybe eight years, do you get along with this person you want to talk to this person? can this person help you? with the hardest problems in the world and presumably, can they help you get at parts of the electorate that you might not be able to. >> i mean, the case for josh shapiro pennsylvania's governor is that he might help harris in that crucial battleground state. but there is quite a bit of research suggesting that typically doesn't act actually happened. is that right that's right. >> i actually saw a clip of your show. you had kyle costco, one of the experts on the question of the vice presidential impact on the election on his research he and his partner kristin, right? and their researches the best. it says maybe a little bit not much that being said, there's two important factors. one, this is going to be a really close election, so it's not
2:07 am
clear if the past rules still apply. you know, a few thousand votes in pennsylvania or arizona or with a particular constituency might really, really matter. but the most important thing is and you can see the republicans didn't do this. picks someone who, there's no doubt that their presidential don't pick somebody who becomes a story because they're not really a great pick. >> yeah, i got to a ski about that in a second, but i want to still stay on the harris pick and sort of our reporting has been that electability is a consideration. and also who would balance out the ticket. if we could just put up a graphic of all of the top contenders there, you'll see basically that they they all have something in common what do you make of the fact that all of the leading candidates are white men there's this
2:08 am
myth that we need to balance the ticket since we have our first woman of color running for the presidency, we should balance it with the white man. >> so that's one interpretation. i don't know if that's true, but that is certainly the conventional wisdom that's taken hold the other thing is you're talking about the historic reality, which is white men still enjoy a lot of advantages in the united states so it's no surprise that a lot of the people at the top are still white men. that is changing and that's great. >> but for the moment you can understand how statistically it would trend in that direction all right? >> alright, so you touched a little on on j.d. vance. hear donald trump's running mates having some people wondering whether he should be replaced because of comments that he's made that haven't been particularly helpful, but if we were saying earlier that the vip picks might have less effect than we might think in terms of positively, in terms
2:09 am
of getting blocs of voters is the opposite true as well that they won't really matter in terms of being a drag on the ticket. i guess it's the sarah palin question right? >> i mean, it's again, it's very tough to say that to vp picks that were generally seen as duds were dan quo in recent years, dan quayle and sarah palin which? senior one with quo by the way, i have a personal hill that i'll die on that quail wasn't that bad. he'd been in the senate for eight years who's respected there hamlin was probably drag on mccain. but remember the economy had just completely fallen apart. >> and we'd had eight years with republicans. >> mccain was going to face an uphill battle, no matter who he picked me, he was up against a once in a once-in-a-generation political talent in barack obama. so again, it's very hard to say, but this election is going to be so all the projections are that it's going to be very close. and turn on very specific turnout or the
2:10 am
very small group of undecided voters. >> it's tough to say tough to say indeed listen, really appreciate having you on aaron mannose. >> thank you so much for me. being here with us thank you. >> anytime. >> all right well, appears calm while harris is planning to show up for the previously agreed upon abc news debate, even if donald trump doesn't responding to trump's abc debate, exit harris stated in a tweet quote, it's interesting how any time any place becomes one specific vic time, one specific safe place. >> meanwhile, trump says he'll see harris on september 4 at a fox news debate or not at all, from claims his rival doesn't have the mental capacity to do a quote, real debate against him i'm trump also says his campaign needs to update its messaging now that it's no longer running against joe biden, but his speech at a rally saturday here in atlanta was full of the same old insults. cnn's alayna treene was there well, former
2:11 am
president donald trump at a rally in atlanta on saturday, tested out a new lines of attack against vice president kamala harris i'm remember it donald trump is still trying to figure out which attacks work the best against her at one point in that speech, he even said the quiet part out loud and said, we need to define painter and then he caught himself and said, actually i don't need to define our wedding going on to criticize her further, take a listen to what he said you know four months ago, she was considered grossly incompetent by the fake news. >> now they're saying, oh, wasn't she wonderful, isn't she wanted to vote now she's got wonderful so we have to work hard to define her. >> i don't want even define. >> i just want to say who she is. she's a horror show. she'll destroy our card no, i found those remarks so notable because it really lines up with what i'm hearing from donald trump seniors, advisers, which is that they have to create an entirely new playbook. now that he is facing a new opponent, remember they had spent the
2:12 am
entire election cycle thus far focused on going after president joe biden. and so there's really trying to work on what works with the crowd. what is the energy in the room when he delivers those types of attacks that we saw that on saturday night. now i will note donald trump did argue that he found harris's speech and rally earlier in the week, also in atlanta, georgia, not even just in the same city, but at the exact same venue. he criticized that she had celebrity performers like megan thee stallion perform. he said that he thought that was phony. that is a line i can tell you from my conversations with trump's team that he is planning to use in the coming weeks and an effort to framer. >> he also tried to tie her to as former political opponent, hillary clinton. >> he said he would never forget that clinton also had celebrity entertainers named dropping bruce springsteen and saying that he has a bad trait. he only likes people who like him. now, another thing i want to point out that i found interesting was that he repeatedly went after georgia's republican governor,
2:13 am
brian kemp, as well as the state secretary of state, brad raffensberger. remember they were both killed to trying to deny reports of fraud during the 2020 election. trump repeatedly called them disloyal. and i also will note that camp, meanwhile, even though he said he wasn't supporting donald trump in a primary, he did ultimately say he would support him in november, alayna treene, cnn, atlanta, georgia tensions in the middle east amid fears the ongoing fighting could grow into a full-scale conflict still ahead israel trades fire with hezbollah as more countries urged citizens to leave as soon as they can. lost venezuelans at home and abroad show solidarity with the opposition movement as they push back on he lost maduro's reelection claims. that story and much more just ahead, please stay with us introduced saying allison's wax arise. she thinks are flaky gray

2:18 am
of flooding, debris is expected to dump more than a foot of rain across parts of florida and even more in southern georgia. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar joins us now, also knew and i were talking last hour, you surprised me with the amount of rain that was headed three or four feet in some areas, right yeah. >> i don't think you're the only one that's going to be surprised by those numbers because it's changed since we since we were talking about this storm, even 24 hours ago? yes. so right now, the storm has actually increased. we just got the new update at the top of the hour right now. so the storm has strengthened up to 50 miles per hour. sustained winds, gusts seeing the 65 and that's expected its going to continue to strengthen as it goes now through some very warm, open waters, some of those outer bands already starting to spread across portions of florida. that's going to continue throughout the day as the storm continues to slide its way off to the north and is expected to strengthen into a category one hurricane just before landfall what is referred to as the big bend region of florida, where
2:19 am
we have those hurricane warnings in place, then it's going to stay a category one strength even as it passes just east of tallahassee, florida before finally beginning to spread a little bit further eastward, but then notice it just kind of hovers and sits across this general region here. that is the last thing we want to see because that's going to be one of the contributing factors to flooding. now, another concern of flooding is going to be the storm surge. all of these yellow areas you see here and then also when the north side around st. marks and then also around tampa st. pete, you're looking at storm surge of three to five feet, but the peak area is going to be right here through the big bend where you're talking six to ten feet of storm surge? now that's the flooding coming in from the ocean. we also have the flooding components coming down from above in the form of rainfall, a lot of these areas of northern florida, you're talking widespread, six inches of rain, some as high as a foot, but then you start going northward into places like georgia and the carolinas where that system is expected to essentially stall over then now you're starting to see widespread totals of a foot of
2:20 am
rain. some of these areas looking at 20 to 30 inches total, again, that could be potentially historic numbers for some of these states, especially south carolina, that's why the weather prediction center has issued an extremely rare high risk for excessive rainfall and flooding on day three, which is considered tuesday for this particular area here across south carolina and the extreme northeast or southeastern portion of georgia. so this includes cities like savannah and charleston. now, keep in mind too, this is tuesday, but this comes after back-to-back days of a moderate risk. you're looking at sunday and monday of where you're going to be having those days dealing with excessive amounts of rainfall. now, the other thing too is you may say, okay, well, why is it just going to sit there when the models don't really know what to do with it once it makes landfall in florida, it just kind goes all over the place. i mean, really can be looked at as it looks like maybe something a five-year-old would draw. its kinda just all over the place. but that's because the money i just don't know what to do the steering mechanism that is currently guiding the storm kind of breaks down and that
2:21 am
unfortunately is what's going to lead to the tremendous amounts of rain that are expected over the next five to seven days squiggly, i think is the technical term for what you're talking about. allison chinchar. thank you so much. appreciate that more countries are urging their citizens to leave lebanon amid growing fears of a full-scale war breaking out in the middle east, france has joined the u.s. >> britain and jordan, urging their citizens to leave as soon as possible. while sweden is now temporarily pulling out its embassy staff from beirut. saturday night, israel said it intercepted a barrage of 30 projectiles coming from lebanon, which didn't cause any damage or casualties, has velocity. it was responding to multiple israeli strikes in southern lebanon earlier on saturday, reportedly going after hezbollah targets i lebanese news agency says one teenager was killed and six civilians wounded. now that's happening after iran threatened to retaliate against israel for the killing of hamas political chief in, in tehran. israel has
2:22 am
neither confirmed nor denied responsibility all right, our correspondents are standing by to cover this story from all angles, we have ben wedeman in beirut. but first we want to go to nada bashir in london. so nauta hezbollah already firing rockets into israel, but presumably just, just a precursor to an actual main attack absolutely there, are real concerns around what that retaliation that full response from iran could look like. we've heard from the revolutionary guard corpse in iran issue a renewed warning. they have said that they will inflict a severe punishment in their words on the state of israel adding that this response will come at an appropriate time, place, and manner. and there was this will be blood vengeance and that that response will be certain. but there are real questions around when this will happen, what that response could look like. we've heard from a us official saying that they believe this could be imminent in, the, coming days, but it remains to be seen whether we
2:23 am
see a direct response from iran, perhaps in the manner that we saw in april, drones and missiles targeting israeli territory directly from iran, or whether perhaps we see a broader, more complex, more coordinated attack targeting israel in coordination with iran's regional proxies, namely, has isabella and lebanon the houthis in yemen. so these are all key questions right now as the region stands on a knife edge waiting for this retaliation, of course, there are questions around the calculation that'll go into that response from iran, whether perhaps they are seeking and to restore deterrence against israel without provoking an all-out war directly against the state of israel, or whether perhaps we will see a retaliation she didn't response to the assassination of ismail haniyeh in tehran earlier this week, that could trigger a broader regional conflict. and that is certainly a fear that is held so by many in the region, many internationally, even we've seen a flurry of diplomatic activity over the last few days, just yesterday, us
2:24 am
secretary of state antony blinken held calls with his british and french counterparts again, focusing on efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region, but also crucially, of course focusing on trying to restore attention on the ceasefire negotiations which, which at this point feel somewhat dead in the water given the events of the last week and of course, we have learned in the last few hours according to iranians state media, that jordan's foreign minister is set to pay a visit to tehran today to hold talks on regional and international issues. so certainly a huge focus for regional oh leaders. the u.s. as well deeply concerned around these rising tensions already bolstering its military preparedness in the region, sending in warships and military squadron as well into the region. so certainly feels as though the region is on edge at the moment. >> yeah, absolutely. standby. not i want to go now to ben wedeman nauta was talking about the international aspect of this. we've seen countries advising their citizens to leave lebanon with fears about this growing escalating
2:25 am
conflict flicked in the region. what's the latest there exit is from lebanon seems to really be picking up a variety of countries are telling their nationals to get out now, france, describing the situation here is highly volatile, said, we invite french nationals to make there arrangements now to leave lebanon as soon as possible, sweden is moving its six diplomatic staff here in beirut to cyprus the entire month of august and will reconsider moving them back in the future. when exactly. we don't know jordan has also told its nationals because to leave the country soon as possible, ukraine flew out 30 of its nationals as well, and there really is a growing fear that perhaps this time because we've seen time and time again since last october, tensions rising
2:26 am
and then things calming down again, this eigen been through most of them, this time it seems worse than others know as far as what's going on in the border short shortly after midnight, his butler said it fired tens of rockets at bait hilal in israeli community. on the other side of the border. that's the first time that place has been targeted. his hezbollah said it was in retaliation for an israeli strike that kildee 17-year-old boy and injured several others. one of those injured a sixth man in his 60s died from his injuries juries today, now, we don't believe that this volley of rockets at israel, most of them were intercepted was part of the answer to the killing last tuesday of sugar that sr. hezbollah military commander, it is normal that after civilians are killed on the
2:27 am
lebanese side, his butler will fire a volley of rockets back at israel. but of course, everybody here is bracing for for the possibility of a broad war between israel and hezbollah, iran. and he iran's other allies in the region. kim all right, so not want to go back to you. you've been following some other angles on the story. there was a stabbing attack and israeli strikes on a school and camp for displaced palestinians. what more can you tell us? >> we'll can first on that stabbing attack, we have been hearing from the emergency services and police officials in israel at least two people now confirmed to have been killed, a 66-year-old woman and a man said to be approximately 80-years-old, both killed in a knife attack earlier today, at least two others injured. and according to police officials in israel, the staff involved in this incident was said to have been in their words neutralize, they say it was a
2:28 am
resident of the west bank. we are still waiting to get more details. around this attack earlier this morning because as you mentioned, we've also been seeing ongoing airstrikes in the gaza strip just yesterday, we saw multiple strikes it's targeting two schools in gaza city more than a dozen killed in those strikes. and of course, many more injured. distressing images and videos that's coming out from that attack. but earlier overnight, rather, we have seen again, yet more airstrikes this time targeting an area near the al aqsa martyrs hospital, indebted, but this is one of the last few hospitals still able to receive patients. we've seen it on a daily basis, completely overrun with patients, but it was actually the court what yard of this hospital where thousands of people have sought shelter, have been living in these temporary tents encampments around the hospital in the hope that the hospital would remain a safe space. but again, that's simply has not been the case. we've seen us strikes are targeting this area where the camps were videos emerging
2:29 am
showing pence engulfed in flames, civilians, desperately trying to rescue people from the fires. at least five people so far according to authorities in gaza so have been confirmed to have been killed, at least 18 others injured. but again, that figure could continue to rise. the israeli military responding to a question from cnn says they are but looking into these reports, but again, this was an area not only known to be housing and sheltering civilians, but also of course, one of the crucial hospital still providing life-saving in support civilians in gaza can all right, it's nada bashir in london and ben wedeman in beirut. >> thank you both really appreciate it ukrainian military claims. it sank a russian submarine and hit and s4 hundred anti, anti aircraft missile system in russian occupied crimea. ukrainian officials say the submarine sank on the spot, adding that the same sub was severely damaged in ukrainian missile attacks last year. kyiv claims
2:30 am
russia's navy has already lost a third sort of its black sea fleet russia has yet to comment on the alleged attack. ukraine's military says it also carried out strikes inside russia on saturday, including an airfield where russian forces allegedly stored guided aerial bombs and other equipment the leaders of seven european countries are calling for the release of all tally sheets from venezuela's recent presidential election. the joint declaration came as thousands took to the streets of caracas on saturday to march and rallies supporting either the opposition coalition or incumbent president nicolas it's my doodle. opposition leader, maria corina machado, emerged from hiding on to participate in saturday's protests, telling supporters, their movement has never been so strong, listless the world knows they intend to forcibly withhold the result six days later, they have not handed over a single record that period has expired i know pseudo legal maneuver can cover

2:35 am
all you, watching us here in the states, canada, and around the world. >> i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom in the uk. dozens of people had been arrested as violent protests fueled by far-right groups gripped several cities for another day, demonstrators burned properties and clashed with the police on saturday, injuring a number of officers tensions have been flaring since the stabbing attack last week, which killed three children and injured several others. far-right agitators seized on the attack to mobilize around online misinformation and hateful anti-migrant and anti-muslim narratives. police say the teenage suspect was born in cardiff, wales all right, joining me now is joe moore hall director of research at the advocacy group, hope not hate. thanks for being here with us so just to start broadly why has this incident resonated so much across the country? >> well in the immediate aftermath of that horrifying attack that happened in monday
2:36 am
in southport. we started to see misinformation and disinformation being spread by far right networks online that extensively claimed that the attacker was a muslim. there was a fake name that was spreading around the incident all that they were asylum seeker or that they were had recently crossed the channel in a bow, all of which are very emotive and feeble narratives at the moment in the united kingdom and very quickly we started to see people organizing demonstrations and rallies counter-protests, et cetera. but what's really important here is that in recent days is broadened much, much further out than just talking about the specific event in southport. and they've taken on a much broader anti-multiculturalism, anti-muslim anti-asylum seeker kind of bent and what we're seeing here actually is just widespread far-right rioting. we've seen large number of races this is the tax we've seen mosques being targeted, an accommodation, housing, asylum seekers as well. >> now, obviously, the role of social media is under the
2:37 am
spotlight here, and there's some research that suggests that the resurgence of the far-right violence in the uk is part due to elon musk musk's decision to allow some of these far-right figures back onto x. is that right yeah. >> i think is enormous contributing factor to some of what we've seen here a number of the most high profile figures that was spreading misinformation that were whipping up to anger and whipping up tensions and directing tensions were individuals that had previously been removed from twitter. they'd been deep platforms for a range of offenses, but in recent months, since elon musk has taken over, there had been re-platformed and we've got figures such as andrew tate, the very famous misogynist, the far-right extremist in the uk, tommy robinson both of which produced content in the days following the attack, which was viewed hundreds of thousands. and in some cases, many millions of times. and these are figures that had previously been removed from the platform
2:38 am
twitter or x, is now called, has been a wash with misinformation and disinformation, but also it's one of the places where we've seen events and rallies and riots being organized just in recent days you spoken about some of these figures as being so-called weather makers, i guess, because this phenomenon, it's so decentralized, it's hard to fight, but you have these people generating the atmosphere and then other people sort of sort of pile on and organize so that makes it extremely hard to fight. >> i imagine. so. talk to us about that phenomenon and what to do about it yeah, i mean, in many ways this wave of rioting and racist violence reflects the nature of the contemporary far-right in the united kingdom these events aren't being organized by a single person or a single organization and most of the people turning up at events are not part of any traditional far-right organization. >> those some of course are, but rather what we're seeing here is the result of these
2:39 am
very decentralized, massive networks of online figures far-right individuals around the country. and in fact, also around the world, engaging with far-right material, creating far, far right material and then out of this, these networks, we see individuals calling individual demonstrations. and we start to see people then organizing around that and there's no centralized figure here. it's very much reflecting the way that the internet works and the way that the far right works. it makes it much, much harder to work out who they are because much of this happens anonymously. demonstrations are called by individuals and we don't know who's calling them. but it also makes it harder to work out how many people we expect to turn up at events? extremeness of the events that are being planned so hard to fight we'll have to leave it there, but joe morelle. >> thank you so much for being here with us. really appreciate it. >> thanks the death of a 43-year-old black man in june after he was pinned to the ground by security forces in
2:40 am
milwaukee, has been ruled a homicide. >> that's according to an autopsy report. it says d'vontaye mitchell died from restraint ex-fixer, and toxic effects of drugs. cnn's camila lebron. bernal has more the family of dvontaye mitchell and their attorneys were waiting for this autopsy report. >> now that it shows the manner of death as a homicide, they're hoping for and they are demanding criminal charges in this case. but the milwaukee county district attorney's office is still telling cnn that they have no comment. now, mitchell died on june 30 after he was pinned to the ground by security officers outside a hyatt regency hotel in milwaukee. and the incident was partially caught on video. the investigation report from the medical examiner's office said that mitchell was restrained by four people after being combative and when and to unresponsive as the hotel staff waited for police to arrive. now, it also said they found drug paraphernalia on friday. one of the family attorneys
2:41 am
also really several videos and i do want to warn you that they may be graphic for some people according to the emmy report, he entered the hotel and he appeared to be frantic and panting. it says that at some point he went into the women's restroom and attempted to lock himself inside with others that were using the restroom and they started screaming and that's when two hotel security guards went into the bathroom and physically drag him out of the hotel when he was outside for people held mitchell face down on the concrete. now, the attorney on friday pointed out that at no time in the videos as you see mitchell punching anyone or kicking anyone and said he was just trying to get up. the video shows mitchell's pants falling down at some point as a man punches him in the face multiple times while he is being dragged on the floor and then outside on the sidewalk by a hyatt guest and the three employees. then another video showed an employee kicking him in the face while mitchell was on the
2:42 am
ground. the family attorney described it as a beat down the company says several employees were fired after this incident. but again, the family is calling for criminal charges and this of course, for some brings back memories of georgia floyd and there are questions about the use of force, particularly against people of color. so this is a family asking for explanations and asking for accountability in the form of charges. all of this as we wait to hear from the district attorney, camila bernal, cnn, los angeles well, it's been another nail biting and history defining day at the paris games when we come back we'll unpack all the action that unfolded on saturday and then we'll look ahead to today's events. >> that's coming up. stay with us this election season, stay with cnn with more reporters on the ground. >> and the best political team in the business follow who voters follow the results, follow the facts follow cnn
