right now burning out of control. this oak fire has torched nearly 12,000 acres and is zero percent contained. this morning, the oak fire raging. this time-lapse showing smoke and flames billowing high above the ridge in mariposa county. emergency crews working around the clock on the ground and in the air on a blaze that's already burned nearly 12,000 acres, growing so big the smoke can be seen from the international space station. these are the front lines. >> this is the beginning of that fire break -- >> reporter: a battalion chief guided us through. >> the fire really starts to intensify. those threes are all going to be coming down. what we see over here is really the result of where all that dead, available fuel is burning with high intensity. >> so i can see what you're talking about, right over here, some of these larger trees now catching fire. >> yeah. some of these trees are burning and then they'll become fire. like this one, that one will

come down. >> reporter: the fast-moving fire exploding this weekend after starting friday southwest of yosemite national park. look at how close this fire is to the house behind me. this dry fuel down here. cal fire tells us at least ten structures have been destroyed by this oak fire. more than 6,000 residents forced to evacuate. the community on edge here. >> it's pretty difficult. it only appears it's going to get hotter and drier. >> reporter: evacuees hoping they'll be able to return to their regular lives. the lucky ones will. >> it's really heartbreaking because it's been year after year. >> reporter: overnight, gavin newsome declared a state of emergency. california also securing a federal grant to help fight this fire. janai? >> all right, alex. and now to the nationwide heat wave making those fires worse. those rising temperatures also turning deadly. authorities say a 22-year-old man hiking in south dakota's badlands national park died during extreme temperatures

after running out of water. a death also reported here in new york city where officials have opened up more than 500 cooling centers to help residents without air-conditioning find some relief. sam was talking about those cooling centers yesterday. he is in central park, and sam, for millions, the worst is yet to come. >> reporter: janai, today we'll hit our highest temperatures in the new york city area and in those deaths that were reported the multiple deaths reported yesterday we saw something that i wanted to pass on to you guys, multiple ages anywhere from 22 to 75, men and women, it's just a clear signal that you think you're in great shape, it doesn't matter how old you or are young, you're susceptible to heat and heat-related illness. please take it careful out there. this is where the triathlon ends today. it's cut in half due to that heat. here are the numbers out there today. here's the heat advisory and the heat index levels.

i'd take that new york city to warm as 104 by 3:00, 4:00 this afternoon. philly at about 102. d.c. at about 103. the actual temperatures you'll be seeing for the next few days. where we circled, that's the record high temperature you'll be hitting during the day. when this temperature drops over the next couple of days it's going into the 80s, it will be closer to normal levels, but it's getting through this wekend for the east coast. look at these temperatures across the nation, a mixture between the temperature and the heat index level. heat index is even more important to pay attention to, because in this high humidity your body can't cool yourself with sweating. anywhere from 104 to 115. eva, we'll be okay out there today. >> absolutely brutal out there. thank you, sam.

now to the monkeypox outbreak, the world health organization declaring it a global health emergency overnight. here in the u.s., health officials are now considering deeming it a public health emergency. abc's elwyn lopez is following it from the cdc in atlanta. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: hey, eva. good morning. first covid-19, and now monkeypox. the world health organization listing as the highest level of alert declaring a global emergency not once but twice in just three years. now according to the cdc, here in the u.s. in june, there were at least two dozen cases. today nearly 2,900 including two children. now health officials say cases in children have generally been adjacent to those most at risk. the majority of the outbreak currently concentrated on men who have sex with other men. it can easily be transmitted to others. globally, there are more than 16,000 cases of monkeypox in at least 75 countries. here in the u.s., the largest

number of reported cases are in new york state with 900. now the world health organization says we can get this outbreak under control. there have been no reported deaths here in the u.s., and patients typically recover from the disease within a few weeks. whit? >> elwyn, thank you. turning now to the latest on the covid pandemic as 80% of americans are living in counties with a high or medium community risk level. the summer surge reaching the white house where president biden is being treated for covid this weekend. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks joins us now with more. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. the white house chief of staff told us the president was on the phone yesterday on conference calls. today's day three of president biden's isolation. he'll test after day five. realistically, wednesday's the first day we could see him back at work in person if he tested negative. now his doctor says that he's continuing to feel better, that his symptoms yesterday were a sore throat, runny nose, loose cough and all vital signs were normal. no shortness of breath. in a written statement his

doctor said the president most likely contracted that ba.5 variant which is surging across the country right now. he'll continue to take that antiviral treatment paxlovid and he's using his inhaler two, or three times a day for his cough. janai. >> maryalice, thank you so much. let's bring in jonathan karl who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. jon, good morning. thanks so much for being here with us. let's start with the president and covid. the white house eager to show that he's still able to work in isolation, but jon, this brings up questions about the president's age and the prospect of 2024. >> reporter: yeah, and he had a busy schedule planned. he was going to be out there getting across the country, trying to project an image of someone trying to work to address economic anxiety and inflation. so certainly an unwelcome development, and a reminder if joe biden, with all the protections that he has in the white house and all of the precautions that are taken, even if he can get covid obviously anybody can. >> jon, looking ahead to

tuesday's primaries in a handful of states, this will be a test for republicans, one that has the former president and vice president campaigning for different gop candidates. >> reporter: yeah, this is a fascinating head to head matchup, potentially a proxy war between mike pence and donald trump. it's arizona, the primaries are a week from tuesday. they've endorsed separate candidates for governor and they were both out there over the weekend in the same state, campaigning for different candidates, kind of a proxy battle. what's interesting, though, listening to trump he's talking a lot about the past, past election, his grievances and complaints about january 6th. pence is talking about the future. >> and jon, speaking of january 6th, the committee has wrapped those summer hearings. thursday we heard a lot about donald trump, really damning portrait of donald trump, telling a valet, mike pence let me down. what do you think those hearings

accomplished? >> reporter: janai, one thing you have to acknowledge that these hearings have blown past expectations. the conventional wisdom as they got started was, they couldn't have had much of an impact, we already know everything that happened. people's minds are made up, these hearings have driven the conversation for nearly two months and there are more hearings to come in september. the committee is still interviewing new witnesses, still uncovering new facts about the days before and what happened on january 6th. >> and it's those details that we have heard so much more of. jon, thank you so much. just a reminder that jon has a big show coming up on "this week." he'll go one-on-one with representative adam kinzinger on the january 6th committee's explosive hearing from this past thursday and dr. ashish jha joins with an update as president biden continues his treatment for covid-19. eva. now to economy and the week ahead as the federal reserve prepares for another major interest rate increase in an

effort to fight inflation. ab's deirdre bolton is here with a look at what it will likely mean for our budgets. good morning, deirdre. >> reporter: if you are trying to buy a house, get a loan for a car, or take out a business loan, this is a big week for you because the cost of all those transactions may be going higher. trying to combat inflation, the fed has raised rates three times this year. making borrowing more expensive. consensus on wednesday the fed may do more of the same. matching the move it made in june. some say the fed could be more aggressive. if you credit card debt, it will go higher on wednesday if the fed moves as forecast. if you're looking to buy a house, earlier this year it was relatively easy to find a 30-year mortgage at 4.5% or cheaper. that same loan will come with at least 5.8% now. the bigger question is whether the fed can pull off what's called a soft landing, slow the economy enough to cool inflation but not so much that it tips

into recession. a recent poll of economists showing an another interest rate hike would increase the odds of a recession to 40%. we'll find out more on wednesday. >> see how the housing market as well. >> exactly. >> thank you. heading overseas now to the war in ukraine and the outrage over a rusian missile strike on odesa just hours after moscow and kyiv made an agreement on grain exports. patrick reevell joins us live from odesa. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yesterday's missile strike obviously shook belief in this grain deal. ukrainians officials say despite the strike they still hope ships carrying grain will leave ports as earlier as next week. this morning, worldwide condemnation of the russia's missile strikes in odesa, a missile slamming into the port

one day after russia signed an agreement to allow grain ship to begin leaving. video circulating online showing the billowing black smoke. firefighters battling the flames, dousing boats with water. russia first telling turkey's defense minister it had nothing to do with these strikes. but this morning, now confirming they did fire a missile. the attacks casting doubt on the agreement further threatening grain exports and global food supply. u.s. ambassador to ukraine, calling the attacks outrageous. in a tweet writing, the kremlin continues to weaponize food. russia must be held to account. a farmer close to the ports watching to see if grain will start shipping. he's saying there are about 250 tons of grain from last year's harvest just sitting here. it's trapped because the ships aren't leaving the ports. he says even before the strike he didn't trust russia to uphold the deal. from eastern ukraine more details of the two americans killed there. they died fighting in a

ukrainian unit. soldier who volunteered alongside them speaking to us. >> you won't see the russians. you'll most likely be dead by the time they take position because of the weapons they have. >> reporter: the men's ukrainian commander says both volunteered out of a belief they were fighting for a free world. we're at this farm close to odesa that's been unable to ship its grain because of russia's blockade. the farmer is still uncertain this deal is going to hold. janai. >> all right, patrick, thank you. turning now to pope francis on his way to canada today, the trip to north america in nearly seven years. he visited cuba and the u.s. back in 2017. abc's britt clennett is here with what's on his agenda this time around. good morning, britt. >> reporter: that's right, janai. pope francis is on his way to canada, his 37th papal visit. his first in north america in six years. now francis making it clear this is a mission to seek forgiveness for the abuses carried out

towards indigenous people at catholic schools. the vatican saying that this trip is about listening to indigenous people. walking with them. there's also an emphasis on caring for the planet, climate change. it's an issue made even more urgent considering the arctic is the fastest warming part of north america. now the pope visiting three cities in canada. greeted by prime minister justin trudeau. but the pope's health is also in focus, his trip comes after he scraped plans to visit south sudan because of knee pain. again, showing just how much the vatican is prioritizing this canada trip, this mission of remorse. re youpers, ood the poe to have you in studio with us. >> thank you. it's fantastic being here. thanks for having me.

and something everyone will be watching closely is that new york city triathlon, already and something everyone will be watching closely is that new york city triathlon, already under way. some of the swimmers have jumped into the water. they have shortened the bike and shortened the run, but they didn't shorten the swim. >> 104 that's going to feel like that. >> the river doesn't feel so bad. >> triathlon is hard on a good day. >> thanks, sam. now to a historic moment at the world's most famous bicycle race. women once again competing in

the tour de france after a three-decade break. ines de la cuetara joins us from paris with more. good morning to you, ines. >> reporter: good morning, eva. the race starts in just a few moments. some of the women telling us that finally getting the chance to compete in the tour de france is a dream come true. it's the most iconic cycling event in the world. >> if you aren't even a cycling fan, you know about the tour de france. >> reporter: but women have never been allowed to compete with the men, but now for the first time in over 30 years, the women's peloton will get its own eight-stage tour de france. >> they're like, are you going to race the tour de france? they kind of think, oh, she hasn't made it to the top. no, no. it's not even a possibility. now to be able to say i've raced the tour de france, it's a special feeling to be here. >> reporter: we caught up with some of the american cyclists who will be competing, they say the new race is evidence that women's cycling is gaining in momentum. >> i noticed it in confidence, i noticed it in how we race.

we really with the support are stepping up to what we're called to do. we're not trying to be men. you know, we're not trying to be a men's sport. >> reporter: there are still differences between the men's and women's races. while the men are being awarded $2.2 million in prize money for instance, the women will only receive a combined $250,000. while the road may still be bumpy -- >> we shall tackle the most challenging roads. >> reporter: -- these riders will give it all they've got these next few days as the women's peloton makes history. >> i do think there's so much camaraderie not only within our team but within women's cycling. even if we're competitors on and off the bike, it's still so supportive. w're also fighting for this goal of progressing women's ycling. >> reporter: riders will start the first stage of the race here at the eiffel tower before making they way down to other parts of france. the women's tour de france hopes to be back every year, guys.
