janai. yeah, people here are bracing for intense heat. the capacity here at martha's village cooling center is 40 people. that's the number they've seen recently here, but they predict the same number in their overflow room, and that's because temperatures are about to hit 115 degrees, and officials warn that kind of heat can be dangerous, even deadly. this morning, 37 million americans under heat alerts. nine states from washington to florida enduring extreme temperatures. >> this is like fire. >> like fire? >> fire. i can barbecue right here with no -- nothing, no flames. >> reporter: parts of california and arizona set to face one of the worst heat waves in their history including phoenix, which has hit nine consecutive 110 plus degree days. meteorologists calling for at least another week of that unrelenting heat. arizona officials offering free rides to cooling centers and hydration stations.

>> it's one of a kind. arizona's heat is definitely its own monster. >> reporter: and in southern california temperatures could hit 120 degrees. >> just do everything you can to limit exposure to the sun and drink as much water as you can. >> reporter: palm springs already facing triple-digit heat and temperatures continue to climb. >> if i had elderly folks at home, obviously, i would stay indoors and keep the ac on and probably not go out until 6 or onwards. >> reporter: it is a good tip. and to give you an idea of why places like this are so important, last year in maricopa county, arizona, they saw 425 heat-associated deaths, and more than half of them happened in july. that is something officials are really trying hard to avoid. guys. >> janai: and that really paints a picture, a startling number, and we know how deadly the heat can be, zohreen, thank you. now to the scorching heat in the south. humidity adding to the misery

there. trent kelly from our miami station wplg joins us now with more from miami. good morning, trent. >> reporter: janai, here on south beach people have been crowding the shoreline to try and stay cool in a region that's known for sweating it out. even these high temperatures have been hard to deal with with miami setting a new record high temperature for the past three days in a row. get this, back on friday alone we saw a record high temperature of 97 degrees. the last time we recorded a temperature that high, three years ago in the summer of 2020. july already off to its hottest start on record, and that doesn't even take into consideration that sweltering humidity, which on most days pushes those feels like temperatures into the high 100s. with this heat continuing, officials here in south florida are encouraging people to stay indoors. and if you do have to venture outside, try to stay by the water like here on south beach, or make sure to bring plenty of bottled water or maybe even a portable fan with you if you can.

for now that is the latest from south beach. gio, back over to you. >> gio: all right, good advice there, trent, thank you. now let's see what's in store for the week ahead. somara theodore is in central park right now. somara, good morning to you. >> somara: good morning, gio. so, right now we have our eye on the southwest where we're anticipating more record-breaking heat and no relief in sight. excessive heat warnings have already been issued for parts of arizona and heat advisories. phoenix in particular, 110 degrees. they hit that again today. they're looking at their tenth consecutive day. as we head through the remainder of the week, they could look at breaking that 18-day record because we are not looking at these temperatures backing off. they're actually rising and they could be seeing anywhere from 115 to 120 degrees through the end of the week. the southeast, no different with heat and humidity sticking around, triple-digit heat index through the end of the week. whit. >> whit: all right, somara, thank you. now to the federal court ruling for the first time clearing the way for a ban on gender-affirming care for people under 18.

the court allowing the law in tennessee to go into effect immediately. abc's maryalice parks is joining us in washington with more. and, maryalice, what's the impact now across the country? >> reporter: yeah, whit, this ruling is unique, and the impact could be big. several other courts across the country have said that similar bans in arkansas, alabama and florida could not go into effect because they could discriminate against transgender youth, but yesterday the 6th circuit court of appeals saying that tennessee's ban could go into effect, at least for now. the court is still reviewing the underlying case. this is a ban on hormone therapy and puberty blockers. the law in tennessee prevents medical providers from beginning any new transition care, but also stopping treatments already under way. now, we've seen across the country this big push from republican-led statehouses and they prioritize getting these sorts of bans on the books. 20 states have passed bans on this kind of care for minors. the attorney general in tennessee called this a big win,

but the head of the aclu out with a very different statement saying that this decision was beyond disappointing and a heartbreaking development for thousands of transgender youth, their doctors, and their families. janai. >> janai: could have widespread impacts. maryalice, thank you. we turn now overseas to the war in ukraine and the fallout from the biden administration's decision to send cluster munitions to kyiv. abc's foreign correspondent james longman joins us now live from ukraine as u.s. allies are now speaking out. james, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, janai. this is a fast-moving situation because a lot of key u.s. allies are now criticizing this decision from the united states to supply ukraine with cluster munitions. the uk, germany, canada, new zealand, they've all come out against this decision, all saying that they don't believe these weapons should be used. britain prime minister rishi sunak said britain does not endorse this and 1 of 123

countries to ban the use and the spanish defense minister has come out even further, she said yes to the legitimate defense of ukraine but no to cluster munitions. why is all of this so controversial? they are dangerous and cause indiscriminate damage and explode in air and smaller bomblets land on a small area, the issue that unexploded munitions can then pose a risk to civilians. that is why the united states said the munitions they are supplying have a lower fail rate than anything russia or ukraine is currently using and stipulate that ukraine must agree to a number of conditions. they can't fire them into civilian areas and they must commit to demining once the war is over. nevertheless, all of this will be a source of tension for president biden when he meets with nato allies this week. gio. >> gio: a big week ahead. james, thank you. that's exactly where we go next to europe. president biden is beginning a three-nation tour today. the uk is his first stop where he will meet with king charles iii, and abc's elizabeth schulze is already there in london with a preview.

good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, gio. president biden will travel here to london this morning and will meet tomorrow with king charles for the first time since his coronation. that meeting at windsor castle is expected to focus on climate change. the president will also meet with uk prime minister rishi sunak ahead of that nato summit in lithuania, and there it will be all about ukraine. biden is hoping to convince allies that they need to keep providing military support to ukraine for as long as needed. bolstering nato has been a top priority of biden's presidency and he will deliver what the white house is billing as a major speech on wednesday touting the strength of the alliance and its unity against russia, but divisions over expanding nato will be on full display. member states disagree over a road map for ukraine to join the alliance. the president says that will not happen yet, and sweden's bid to join has also been stalled. the president in his final stop will show solidarity with nordic leaders in a visit to finland, which is now officially the newest member of nato. whit. >> whit: all right, elizabeth,

thank you. let's bring in martha raddatz who will be hosting "this week" later on this morning. martha, good morning to you. it's always great to have you. you just got back from a visit to ukraine where you met with president zelenskyy and some of the country's other top leaders. here's part of your interview with the ukrainian president. >> martha: tell me how you think ukraine will be doing a year from now, five years from now? what is your place in the world? >> translator: ukraine has already got a place in the world for itself. i consider that as a fact. we are now a country that is respected, a country that is really fighting for human values, for human rights, for freedom, for democracy, and everyone has already understood that it is exactly such a country. i assume that ukraine will be a valued nato country's partner with strongest armed forces in

europe. 90% of ukrainians want to be part of nato. more than 90% of ukrainians want to be part of the european union. after the war, we'll take some time. we'll make necessary changes to our legal framework in order to finally become an eu member state. >> whit: zelenskyy there talking about the future, but it's now been 500 days since the russian invasion. how confident did zelenskyy seem about the ongoing offensive currently underway? >> martha: whit, he seems confident, but he says he wishes it was going faster, and i think everyone wishes it was going faster, but the problem is, some of the fields are mined where they're sending in bradley fighting vehicles, where they're sending in men to fight, and they have great losses already. in fact, you just mentioned that 500-day war. 9,000, at least 9,000 civilians alone have been killed in this war, so they are going inch by

inch with this counteroffensive. they do feel confident that they can reclaim some territory, but it will be a long and bloody fight, which is exactly what the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said. >> whit: the casualties just staggering, and you were also able to get a firsthand look at the situation on the ground in ukraine, and we're now learning as we noted earlier about these controversial cluster munitions the u.s. is sending. how do the ukrainians hope these weapons could help them? >> martha: well, president zelenskyy and all of his upper echelon of the military really wanted these cluster munitions. they're controversial, as james so well described, especially because there can be dud bomblets that civilians will later maybe stumble over, and they want this demining process to begin immediately after the war, but zelenskyy and his staff feel it is necessary at this point, and the number one reason is because russia is using them

as well, and the ukrainians are running out of ammunition. they need something, they say, fast. they want it now, but, indeed, a lot of people are looking at this as a very controversial move, whit. >> whit: sure is. martha raddatz, thank you so much. we appreciate it, and just a reminder martha has a big show on "this week" later on this morning, more of her conversation with president zelenskyy and other top ukrainian leaders. plus, white house national security council spokesman john kirby discusses president biden's trip top europe this week for that major nato summit. gio. >> gio: all right, whit, we are learning this morning a lot more about a 14-year-old girl who was found in the barracks at the marine corps' camp pendleton. a marine was taken into custody, and abc's faith abubey has the latest on that. good morning to you, faith. >> reporter: good morning, gio. it's not clear whether naval investigators are still questioning that marine or whether he's been released from custody, but a marine corps

spokesperson confirms to abc news that the man you see here in this image circulating on social media is the unidentified marine. you can see him there handcuffed and investigators escorting him. this case began on june 13th when the san diego county sheriff's office says a woman reported her 14-year-old granddaughter missing. the sheriff's office says military police found that teenager at camp pendleton two weeks after she disappeared and returned her back to her family. a woman in a tiktok video now claiming she's the girl's aunt says that her 14-year-old niece was raped on the military base. the marine corps say they are taking the allegations very seriously and they're cooperating with this investigation. now, we're told multiple law enforcement agencies including the san diego human trafficking task force are working with military police to get to the bottom of what happened. janai. >> janai: incredibly troubling allegations, faith, thank you. we turn now to the urgent manhunt in pennsylvania for the escaped inmate michael burham who's being held on arson and burglary charges but is also a homicide suspect. abc's jaclyn lee joins us now with the latest. jaclyn, good morning. >> reporter: hey, janai, good morning.

authorities are telling the public to stay away from burham. calling him extremely dangerous. if you see him, you should call 911 immediately. burham was last seen thursday inside the warren county jail in pennsylvania and is said to have survivalist skills. they're asking you to check your security cameras and they're asking hunters to check game cameras. authorities are all involved using drones, helicopters, and dogs to search the remote area. it's not far from the prison. most of the manhunt is on foot because of the rough terrain, and authorities say they cannot stress enough how dangerous burham is and they're urging local residents to be aware when out and about. gio. >> gio: if you see him, don't stay silent, call 911. all right, jaclyn, thank you. now to the investigation into a deadly plane crash in southern california. a business jet going down near an airport in murrieta. >> one aircraft down in the middle of a field fully engulfed. >> gio: this morning,

the team will request radar data, weather information, maintenance records and the pilot's medical records, but very scary considering you have two of these crashes so soon, right? >> janai: yeah, it is. >> whit: just within a matter of days. all right, gio, thank you for that. let's go ahead and get another check of the weather. somara theodore is out there in central park for us today. we got heat in some places and more severe storms on the way. >> somara: that's right, and severe storms had a pretty big impact yesterday. take a look at this video from norman, oklahoma, where wind becomes visible as rain is whipped about. we even had some pretty large hail. you could see it here in the palm of someone's hand in colorado springs. more of it is on the way today, so we have two primary sectors and one main concern. damaging winds from southern arkansas down to mobile, alabama, then that second area is going to be ranging from the carolinas all the way up into the delmarva peninsula as far as allentown. as far as tomorrow goes, well, we see that threat for severe weather reignite in the heartland. monday, a lot of folks will be
