>> hurricane hilary set to slam the southwest as a powerful tropical storm this weekend. bringing heavy rain and high winds to mexico, california, and nevada. the tropical storm warning is the first ever for southern california and could bring more than a year's worth of rain to some areas in its path. welcome to fox news live, i'm anita vogel. mike: it should be action

packed. and i'm mike emanuel. we have coverage with adam klotz, and christina coleman in pacific palisades in california. we'll start with you. >> hi, mike, if might look like a beautiful beach day right now, but heavy rains and significant flooding is a big concern. l.a. mayor karen bass says the city will be ready. >> the city is prepared. we're not waiting for the storm to hit. we have already begun working 24/7 to be ahead of the curve and to be ready as soon as the storm reaches our shores. >> hurricane hilary is expected to make landfall in baja, california sometime tonight or tomorrow where they're already seeing stormy conditions and that storm is expect today weaken into a tropical storm that could bring torrential rains into southern california and nevada and the threat of mudslides and even tornados. crews are sandbagging low lying

areas here in parts of southern california and arizona. law enforcement is telling people to be ready to possibly be without power. they say if you have to get out of your house, be ready to go, have your bags packed and ready. president joe biden says the federal government is ready and willing to help. >> fema has pre-positioned personnel and supplies in the region and they're ready to respond as needed. i urge everyone, everyone, in the path of this storm to take precautions and listen to the guidance from state and local offi officials. >> and here in california, where the homelessness crisis is a big concern, city officials are working to get people off the streets. they want to get them into shelter and out of harm's way ahead of the storm. mike. >> christina coleman live in pacific palisades. many thanks, anita. anita: for more on hurricane hilary and the forecast across the nation, meteorologist adam

klotz is live from the fox weather center. adam, we know what's going on in the west coast the next couple of hours here, what about the rest of the nation? >> yeah, this is a big storm system and it's going to impact a whole lot of people, anita. you're looking at winds currently 125 miles an hour. moving to the north about 15 miles an hour. this one weakening finally because it's starting to run into a little bit of colder water. what's the motion going to be. here we can time it. as it lifts into southern california think sunday afternoon into evening, that's when conditions are really going to deteriorate and this is the tropical storm warning that we were talking about. the first time we've ever seen this across portions of southern california, a tropical storm warning is in place. largely the big concern with this is going to be rain and it's really going to bring a whole lot of moisture for some of these areas as it ultimately does drag into the desert southwest. in the orange color, three to five inches into the and the

greens one to two. the areas that don't see this kind of weather especially in august. these areas bone dry. in los angeles, 1/100 of an inch typically in the month of august, you'll look at a couple of inches right along the coast and typically rain where you don't typically see it. everything in the green, a couple of inches of rain, that's true in san diego. i'll leave you, anita, with rainfall further in. all of the oranges, three to five inches. death valley if they get three to five inches, that's two to three years of rain all over the course of the next 72 hours. really an unheard of event. anita: yeah, adam klotz, growing up in southern california i can tell you this is something we're not use today seeing there, but hopefully people there are taking the advice of the experts and getting prepared. i thank you so much for that update. adam klotz. m m mike. all right, back to me.

a new jersey judge temporarily blocking districts for policies that require parental notification, if a child changes gender identity. this is a blow to the gordon state school boards and parents fighting for parental rights. our cb cotton is live with the details on this. hi, cb. >> for now the policies will be blocked until the case plays out in the civil rights court. the attorney general who first raised the issues praised the judge's decision saying parental notification shouldn't be required, the state won't try to ban it either. all our lawsuits seek to do is reinstate the same policies these districts found acceptable with little protest for years. put simply, we can both keep parents involved about the chi children, and protect our vulnerable students. the districts see it differently. parent communication has been standard and now should be no

different. >> everything else we do in schools involve parental consent. parents sign consent to watch movies, go on field trips, social media and standard forms every year and all of a sudden this is the one instance where parents can't be involved. >> after the attorney generals sued this summer. lgbtq saying that trance gender students could be outed to their families. and a national lgbtq advocacy group tells fox if part, for students who experience family rejection, school may be the only place where they are safe to be themselves. the courts moved to protect the status quo prioritizes the safety of some of new jersey's most vulnerable students. now, attorneys for the three school districts tell fox, they're exploring avenues to appeal. anita. >> all right, cb cotton, thank you for that live report. appreciate it. >> now let's discuss more of this new jersey parental rights

fights with our guest. welcome to nicky stouffer, founder of the project. thank you for being with us today. my understanding is the state of new jersey is suing three school districts representing about 18,000 students for going their own way, adopting policies to tell parents if their kids are showing signs of changing their identity. my question is what's wrong with telling parents? >> what's wrong with telling parents? there's nothing wrong with telling parents. you know, we have a well-settled right of parent oversight in the care and upbringing of our children and we can't do that without the schools being completely open with us, telling us what's going on with our kids in school. it's a real problem that the state of new jersey has decided to force schools to hide the fact that children are socially transitioning in school without the support and knowledge of their parents or oversight of a doctor. this is a procedure, socially transitioning is a procedure

they do to children right before they medically transition the child. this is absolute overreach from the state. the state has been add war with parents. at war with parents since 2020, and this is another example of that especially when he forced masked our children for two years and turned out poorly and now we have a mental health pandemic here in new jersey and this is not going to work out with not telling parents about what's happening with their children in school. >> okay. >> when you're socially-- >> just, i hear what you're saying 100%, but let's just take a look at the flip side of this. the argument is that by telling parents that their children want to transition to a different gender or use a different pronoun, that that puts the child at risk for mental issues and suicide, but there is that school of thought. so i want to listen to one pro transgender speaker about this. let's listen. >> having teachers to confide

in before my parents made me feel amazing. policy 5756 you're taking that moment away from potentially hundreds of students. anita: all right, what do you think about what that speaker said? >> we can't assume that every parent is not loving and protective of our children like her parent wasn't. we are not under some sort of, you know, assumed that we're going to be monsters to our children when this one person had that problem. most people, the majority, and i would say 99% of parents, want what's best for our children. we are the only ones that can protect them, we are the only ones that can guide them. the schools are not there in the summers. they're not thereafter-- in the evenings. it is unfortunate that this person had a terrible relationship with her parents and need today seek other places, but if a child is having a problem and afraid of their parents, they can go to the counselor and work that out.

they're mandated reporters, they can help fix the problems. you can't just assume that every parent is not going to do the best for their children and besides, it puts the schools at liability for getting-- for all the problems the children would have. anita: okay. >> now the responsible for bullying, and the school is responsible-- they can't be responsible for your kid all the time, unless it's a dire situation at home. anita: understood. i want to put a poll up on the screen about how people feel about the emphasis put on different subjects that are taught in school. take a look at this. you know, reading and writing, too high, no. 3%, good citizenship, 4%. math, science, and tech, 5%. racism 26%, xul sexual orientation and gender, think there's too much focus in the public schools. 48%. and i do want to take a look at something that the judge has

said already in this case, if we can bring that up on the screen. this is from the judge, david bauman. he says i think we can see there's a constitutional right for a parent to oversee the up bringing of their child and he said he would have a written decision to come soon. what do you take away from that statement? >> he knows that we're the only ones out there for our children. there isn't -- everybody else isn't out there to protect our kids. only parents can protect our own children. teachers try their best, but there's a lot of problems in the schools, where there's bullying, children are committing suicide and this is happening in new jersey and the schools are not protecting the kid. the schools have to work with the parents to protect the kid from harm and they can't do that if they look at us like we're trying to do harm to our children. we have a fundamental right to help and raise our children. anita: last five seconds. when are you expecting a decision on this? >> it already came -- what

part? so the injunction already came through. the injunction. they decided against the parents and the schools and they said that they need-- it needs to stand, but he did say that this needs to be worked out in court and he expects that the parents and the-- i mean, the schools and the state will be able to make some sort of accommodation and they will be able to work together to come out, but i don't see how that's true since the state has been jamming down unpopular policy and parents for three years. i don't think they have any interest and i think it's going to end up all the way at the supreme court, that's my guess. anita: wow, it's a big topic. everybody is paying attention and we'll certainly be following where it goes. thank you for spending time with us today and talking about this topic. >> thank you so much. anita: mike. mike: president trump announcing a new era of partnership between the u.s., south korea and japan yesterday at camp david. the announcement comes the countries seek to expand

security ties amid tension with china. lucas tomlinson is at the white house with more. hello, lucas. >> the president says the conference at camp david was not about china, but make no mistake, many believe that china's forces and nuclear stock pile are exactly why the leaders of south korea and japan showed up at camp david. >> to some it was not about china, that was know the purpose of the meeting, but china obviously came up, not to say we don't share concerns about the economic coercion or heidened tensions caused by china, but this summit was really about our relationship with each other and deepening cooperation across entire range of issues. >> mike, recall a few weeks ago, those 11 russian and chinese war ships that sailed near alaska on the eve of this summit. and those were near japan, a not so subtle message. and the u.s. send a ballistic submarine to south korea for

the first time since the 1980's. clearly a move designed to get the attention of north korea as well. known as boomers, these type of submarines carry 70% of u.s.'s deployed nuclear arsenal and china continues exercises off the coast of taiwan. when it comes to nuclear forces, china will have 1500 nuclear warheads by 2035. congressman mike gallagher, chairman of the select committee on china says this threat isn't getting enough attention. >> i do want to hear a clear assessment of the threat posed by china and at times i'm mystified that there is so much hesitancy to say what is obviously true. >> now, mike, earlier this week i traveled to omaha, home of the u.s. military strategic command in charge of the u.s. military's nuclear arsenal, the commander general, anthony cotton, says china today as more icbm, inter-continental ballistic missile launchers than the united states.

mike: lucas tomlinson, thank you very much. back now to our top story, hurricane hilary making its way towards california's coast, set to make land filmmaker as a powerful tropical storm. for more on california's preparations we're joined by republican congressman darrell issa, whose districts stretches from north of the tijuana border and san diego, oceanside. all areas are expected to be hard-hit. welcome. >> thanks for having me on and thanks for covering the first in a generation storm to hit san diego in pro-- probably onto los angeles. my district goes the mountains to the desert, likely one of the flooding area. mike: what is your message to your constituents and others in the path of this storm? >> the important thing is to make the final preparation before a storm hits. let's assume for a moment that you're in an area that's not going to flood, and you don't have to evacuate, but you still have to get that lawn furniture

in. you have to look carefully at electrical devices. unplug those that you can. and be ready for a high wind storm. most of california, particularly san diego, is underground, but there's some overhead wiring, so most importantly, if you have 50-plus knot winds with or without rain, you have to be prepared for the possibly of downed power lines. so all of these safety measures will probably lives. our response teams and local and federal are really prepared. we've had plenty of warning for this, but at the end of the day, high winds and flooding are something that have a myriad of events and you've got to be ready to respond to everything from somebody in health need who can't get to the hospital, to power outage or even a loss of water or other essential items. mike: you've touched on the historic nature of this storm. we get hurricane warnings here on the east coast all the time.

very rare thing on the west coast. how seriously do you get the essential your neighbors and constituents are taking this storm? >> i think they're taking it pretty seriously. they don't have the same preparation, let's say, that florida has. we don't have the very heavy windows that can take 80, 90, 100 mile per hour winds. so we do have some precautions to take that maybe are not normal because our structurals are built to stop earthquakes and we're most concerned about fires. some of the items that are the same. and one of them, a particular one, is mudslides and other things related to rain. our winter rains, particularly where there's been fire, which is a regular problem in california, those preparations are underway. people who are living close to the coast, particularly though, have to be aware that they may be affected like any other two inch high wind storm that might come our way. the winds are probably going to

be higher though. >> are you worried about how the ground will take all of this water in southern california's more prone to drought than it is significant rainfall. >> we're in an area where seven inches in a year is considered had a good year. so, absolutely. if we get two plus inches in a 24-hour period, we're going to have some problems. the biggest problem though, actually, are low lying inland areas. much of my district, not just along the border, but all the way to the salten sea where mountainous water is going to rush down. and for purposes, almost every californian has a data base whether they're in a flood zone or not, but back to the first point, high winds, do you think power lines or picking up lawn furniture and throwing it through a window, are probably a more immediate danger and so, although we want people to prepare with, you know, sufficient supplies, probably the most important thing is

look around their homes and prepare to make sure that nothing outside their home becomes a weapon. mike: congressman darrell issa, the great state of california, we wish you and your constituents the best. >> we're battening down. anita: you've got to batten down the hatches for sure. as the g.o.p. presidential candidates prepare for next week's big fox news debate. many are getting in hand shakes with potential voters at the iowa state fair in des moines. we're on the ground there next. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! uuuhhhh... here, i'll take that! woohoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar. enter the $10,000 powered by protein max challenge. ♪ ♪

>> we are just four days away from the very first g.o.p. presidential primary debate right here on fox news. and a few g.o.p. presidential hopefuls are vying to qualify for a spot on the stage. while others are enjoying all the delicious fried food at iowa state fair this weekend. alexis mcadams is there live in des moines. hello, alexis. >> hey, mike, we're still at the iowa state fair, checking with the people and eating the fried food we could get our hands on. most of the campaigning and stump speeches moved from here at the fairgrounds over to atlanta, georgia where we just heard from former new jersey governor chris christie who slammed donald trump saying if he doesn't show up to the fox news debate, he's making a big

mistake, watch. >> yeah, there's an argument for avoiding the voters, there always is. if you're a safe politician with a crappy record there's always argument for that. what you really think of this is, you've been the nominee of this party twice, do you not owe it to the voters to stand up there and allow them to compare you to the rest of the people running. if you're so great, why are all of these people running? nobody ran against him in 2020. >> other heavy hitters in campaigning in georgia, too. vivek ramaswamy rising in the polls speaking today and ramaswamy just talked to our neil cavuto. ramaswamy telling neil, he's not running to be another candidate's vice-president. >> see the way i look at it, neil, i'm not running against anybody in this race. it's part of why you don't hear me criticize many of my competitors period. donald trump included. i think we have to, as a party, start talking less about the who, more about the what and the why. what do we stand for and why do

we stand for it? >> and today, we're going to catch up again with former arkansas governor asa hutchinson, the only candidates we've seen walking around and working hard to qualify for the fox news debate and we talked with him one-on-one how he plans to do it. >> well, my record as governor. whenever you balance a budget you lower taxes, you work hard to create the private sector, that record, to me, is important in understanding how to lead america. >> and so we're back out here at the state fair and we just wanted to show you within of our new friends we just met at the fairgrounds. this is marshmallow, a pig trying to get close to him and talk to him what he thinks about the action and the fried food and the fun we've seen at

the fairgrounds, but we're going to continue to walk around and talk with people here at the fair as we turn our eyes over to milwaukee, wisconsin for the fox news debate. we'll send it back to you. mike: he looked a little depressed about the pork chop sandwiches and maybe about the name marshmallow. alexis mcadams live at the fair. thank you very much. anita: all right. lots of fun there. for more on the campaign, campaign 2024, we're joined by asa hutchinson's surrogate austin barber and donald trump's surrogate, anna paulina luna. thank you for coming today. austin, i don't know if you were able to see the last report, but we just saw a clip of your candidate there, asa hutchinson talking why he thinks he's a good candidate, but you know, he's got to get on the stage if he really wants to compete. this is a time when voters and viewers get a chance to know the candidates through these debates. i know there are certain requirements, maybe we could put those up on the screen.

i think we have a graphic. there are polling requirements, there's a threshold for donations. is asa hutchinson getting on the stage and if not, how is he able to compete? >> that's a great question. he's going to get on the stage. the last requirement he has is 40,000 donor requirements which he said today on twitter he's over 36,000 and less than 4,000 donors away and i tell you if you're watching this and you want a conservative governor at the debate. i hope you'll going to asa debate.com and give $1. i think he'll get there today or tomorrow and a lot of momentum to want to see asa on the stage. if you go to asa debate.com and give a dollar you'll get him there. anita: he's got until monday night, i think that's the deadline. congresswoman luna, let me ask you, so much speculation whether trump will attend the debate. we're hearing a lot of mixed messages out there. what can you tell us.

>> it's my understanding president trump will not be attending the debate, but he'll be doing a sit-down with tucker carlson around the same time. i'll say this as a candidate who run for office and attended and not attended certain debates i think he actually made the correct decision and i'll tell you exactly why. president trump is currently polling at 49% ahead of any other republican nominee for this g.o.p. primary, and in addition to that, right now, what we're seeing is-- are the top three issues for independent voters which is incredibly important for winning the 2024 election against joe biden, is inflation, jobs and the economy, and these are all things that president trump has had a proven track record with. anita: there's going to be a lot of talk about that at the debate and you said you feel it's the right decision. you know, trump has performed we develop at the debates in the past and a crowd favorite and tends to dominate the stage. let's take a look back at some of his debate performances. >> and mr. trump, you've had it good. >> let me just-- >> built an unbelievable

company worth billions and billions of dollars. i don't have to hear from this man. believe me. you should let jeb speak. no, it's unfair. >> if putin wants to go and knock the hell out of isis, i'm all for it, 100% and i can't understand how anybody would be against it. >> they're not-- >> hold it, they blew up-- wait a minute. they blew up a russian airplane. >> okay. so i just, a quick reaction there to his solid debate performances and then i want to move on. >> as you're seeing, i mean, people know exactly what they're getting with president trump and that's exactly why you're seeing the national polling in favor of him winning the primary. anita: okay. i want to move on to take ago look at the polls now. and there's a lot of movement in these polls. we had, you know, ron desantis was an early favorite, but if you look at the polls now, let's go ahead and bring one up. you see vivek ramaswamy right there at 11%. he's nipping at his heels. so, austin, what do you make of that? this is a young outsider, vivek

ramaswamy, lawyer, entrepreneur, 38 years old. asa hutchinson is a seasoned politician here. vivek ramaswamy's never held elective office. what's going on and why do you think he's resonating? >> i think what you see is half of a-- half of republican primary voters want someone other than president trump. there's a reason iowa caucus poll that came out august the 18th. 58% of iowa caucus wanted someone other than trump. and we believe in competition, not coronation and that's why i say asa hutchinson deserves as a former governor to get a chance ott the debate stage. donald trump when he first got into the rate 1% at 2015 and went on to win the race. anything can happen in politics. lots can change and that's why it's important that asa gets on the debate stage. >> it's a good thing that

things are constantly in flux and he's got until monday night to qualify. we'll see what happens. thank you for joining us today. great discussion. >> thank you. anita: you've got it. tomorrow on fox news sunday. shannon bream is live from the iowa state fair with exclusive interviews from republican presidential candidate nikki haley and iowa republican governor kim reynolds. set your dvr if you want to watch it later on look at local listings for time and channel. mike: historic hurricane hilary shows no signs of slaying down. san diego, next. versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv directv sports central gives you access to every game. but terry doesn't have directv. come on. work for dad- here... now, you can find the game easy.

look behind me, beautiful palm trees and people prepping today because tomorrow things change. in fact, we'll see some of the rain bands later today. picks up tomorrow and takes us into monday. hilary has been downgraded to a hurricane category 3. nonetheless, it has a lot of moisture to work with. having said that, it continues to move north-northwest 16 miles per hour moving into cooler waters. these storms need the water temperature to be at least 80, 82 degrees or so. as it gets closer to california it's going to need a wet suit. the water here is about 62 degrees and that's going to help the storm to die down a little bit, but the moisture is going to be a big concern. talking places like san diego, which is home to three million people county-wide. you've got 115,000 active members of the military here, at five of the military installations. coronado, miramar and naval base san diego. and portions track over san diego. the heavier rain will impact

san diego county, imperial county. and coachella through palm springs and the other side of the san jacinto mountain range and it will play a huge role what's coming out of the storm. and they're rescheduling padres games, playing two today. and students who hope to begin class on monday, we'll see if it's a go. the second largest school district in the state of california, 120,000 students. same for san diego state. we'll see. mike: craig to your team, be safe out there and thanks for your coverage. >> thank you. mike: you can find comprehensive coverage on the fox weather app. be sure to scattered the code on your screen and download it to your phone to receive the news and weather that you need. fox weather tracking hillary all this weekend, please be sure to check it out.

>> well, president biden is taking fire this week for reportedly using aliases and secret e-mail addresses as vice-president in messages to his son hunter biden who had business in ukraine at the time. alexandria hoff is live with the latest on this, hi, alex. >> hi, anita. talk of aliases emerged after james comer sent letters to the national archives and asking for documents where potentially vice-president duties overlapped his son's work. and past pseudonyms used by the past president. they were noted as three of them being robert peters, robin ware, and jrb ware. >> at the time hunter was working with bir barysma.

and there was a call from porchenko. and president biden maintained that he had not discussed business with his son. >> this is the work that the-- that the u.s. attorney weiss and now special counsel weiss should be doing. the house republicans shouldn't have to do the job of the department of justice and the fbi to investigate this matter. >> at camp david, standing next to the leaders of south korea and japan, president biden was asking about his son's escalating legal matters. >> what is your reaction to the special counsel appointment last week into your son? >> i have no comment on any investigation that's going on. that's up to the justice department and that's all i have to say.

>> well, back to the aliases. the use of pseudonyms came back up in 2013 when the obama white house acknowledged several senior administration officials used alternative e-mail addresses. anita: thank you for that live report. mike. mike: anita for more on this, we're joined by attorney mercedes cowan. welcome. >> thanks for having me, mike. mike: one of hunter biden's attorneys was asked whether or not hunter will testify on capitol hill. let's play it. >> you have to have a serious congressional proceeding in order to consider having somebody like your client come and there's been nothing serious about this set of proceedings until they show that they have a serious intent, are operating within the rules and have a proper legislative purpose, nobody would go before them. mike: is there a risk, if they don't participate? >> significant risk. i mean, obviously if they're being subpoenaed, there could be penalties attached to that for failure to appear for sworn

testimony pursuant to subpoena. it could be violation of court order, but more significantly is as a defense attorney, you certainly don't want your client in the thick of a criminal investigation, to then go forth and talk about what might be very significant to the investigation and lead to other charges. so, as a defense attorney, i certainly counsel clients unless they're facing with a subpoena and i can't defeat it in court, that they may have to cooperate, but it's extraordinarily risky for any individual that's facing criminal sanctions to take that voluntarily. mike: hunter biden's top defense lawyer christopher clarke has asked to quit the case, saying he may become a witness. how do you assess that? >> that would be so extraordinary, mike, for an attorney to be compelled to testify against a client. as you know, it is a sacred relationship. every confidence and secret that your client has given to you, with the exception of anything that criminal attaches, obviously, if there's any criminality, that has to be

disclosed by the attorney if there's a commission of a crime that's about to happen. but without that, it is incredibly sacred, it's something you can easily defeat. even if you're subpoenaed you can say as counsel to your former client, that attorney-client privilege does not voluntarily permit you to say anything about that client. mike: former president trump facing legal issues in new york, washington, florida and now georgia. in georgia, he's charged with a rico charge. how do you assess that? >> attorney willis, this is her calling card. she has used the local georgia statute, rico statute against principals, school administrators, gangs, musicians, that's her calling card. it is very easy, and i know that a lot-- at least the genesis of the rico in georgia, was very broadly written, very broadly interpreted.

it's particularly dangerous for any individuals that are facing this type of rico because it is about loosely connected individuals that are working in concert or a criminal purpose. so, intent of the individuals out the window. what they did in commission into furtherance of that enterprise is key. by way of example, this is how dangerous the statute is, when attorney willis brought these rico charges against principals because of some cheating fraud a couple of years ago, 11 of the 12 defendants were convicted. it's extraordinarily broad and intent doesn't matter and even if your client comes forward, i didn't intend, i didn't know what the other members of the enterprise you're accusing of the criminality were doing, it doesn't matter. as long as there's a connection and there's a purpose, that's enough to satisfy that statute. mike: mercedes, i could talk to you all afternoon, but i'm

>> well, bryan kohberger, the

man accused of filling four college students in idaho next year set to face his murder trial in early october. kohberger's defense pushed and prosecutors say it's a tactic to delay the trial. steve with more on the twists and turns in this one. >> that's right, anita, the fight seems to be about the dna evidence and the judge denied the defense to delay the trial for bryan kohberger. the graduate student in crimnology accused back in november. the focus on the hearing was dna and investigators say they found his dna on the sheath of a knife discovered next to one of the dead bodies. they want to know the dna tree, they want to know how investigators narrowed it down

to just one suspect. >> they want all the names used in that genetic genealogy. think about it, this could include people that gave their dna. let's just pretend, 23 and me, but they never agreed for law enforcement to use it. that's a hypothetical. so, all of these people's names would come out. >> the investigation went on for six weeks after the murders. they traced kohberger using his vehicle records as well as cell phone records. that trial is expected now to begin october 2nd. anita, back to you. anita: we'll be watching that. steve harrigan. thank you for that live report. mike: vladimir putin meets with his top military brass near the border with ukraine. more on that next. applying for a home loan to get cash...surprise. some lenders charge hundreds upfront for your appraisal and other fees. not at newday. a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money.

(inspirational music) >> seven people, including a 6-year-old child were killed and at least 90 wounded when a russian missile struck a central square in the historic ukrainian city. kitty logan with more, hi, kitty. >> hi, mike, sadly it's thought that that casualty figure may rise further because of the high number of injured in this attack. seven people were confirmed

dead after a missile hit a civilian area of the city center. one of the dead, as you mentioned, was a 6-year-old girl. children were also among the dozens who were injured. there was no obvious military target here. the missile hit a theater and a university. so the u.n. high school strongly condemned the attack and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy called it a day of pain and loss on what he said should have been an ordinary saturday. now, president zelenskyy was speaking and meeting with the swedish prime minister in stockholm earlier today. during that visit he had been discussing getting more fighter jets from sweden. this follows a u.s. decision to allow f-16 jets to go to ukraine once training is completed. although that may not be until early next year. sweden has already sent tax, anti-aircraft systems, a sign of continued widespread international commitment from the international community and meanwhile, though, on the other

side of the border with ukraine, russian president vladimir putin traveled to rostov close to the border where he met with top military officials. and russia continues to blame ukraine carrying on attacks near moscow and crimea. of course the ukraine offensive continues with very few weeks left of the warm summer weather which may give them an advantage, but the ukrainian military says it's making some small gains now, mike. all righting live on the ukrainian war, kitty. thanks so much. anita: all right, we'll have the latest on hurricane hilary's path at the top of the next hour. stay with us, things are changing, folks. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health.
