that's something they think they will need a lot more of as temperatures continue to soar. this morning, the unrelenting heat wave spreading across the country, simmering from florida to california. heat alerts for 40 million americans remain as authorities urge people to stay indoors. >> do we expect increases of all types of emergencies? absolutely. >> reporter: las vegas, fresno, salt lake city, all under excessive heat warnings. >> it's literally feeling like heat is radiating from everywhere. whether it's the ground, the sky, the bush, i don't know, it's coming from everywhere. >> reporter: it's suffocating. >> it's suffocating. >> reporter: phoenix on its 30th day of heat. the city without any measurable rainfall for four months. the brutal heat taking lives. last week, 18 people passing away due to heat-related illness, and officials at the maricopa county department of public health investigating nearly 70 other deaths possibly

caused by the extreme conditions. el paso could also hit its 37th straight day of 100-degree heat or more heat. >> it's about 113. >> reporter: and palm springs reaching a ninth consecutive day at or above 115 degrees. >> sticky, just a temperature shock. >> yeah. >> you're just, like, oh my god. >> reporter: firefighters say they have had many emergency calls and we joined them on one of them, and they say at least 26 can definitely be linked as purely heat-related since just friday. >> don't try to tough it out, and, you know, follow those signs. listen to those signs. your body knows. >> reporter: firefighters are worried about health issues. they're also worried about an increased fire risk. as of last monday, california officials responded to over 3,300 vegetation fires just this year and over 300 in just the last week. janai? >> janai: oh, but as you said, you have to listen to your body. your body knows, zohreen. thank you. let's get a sense of where this heat is heading next. somara theodore is here with the

forecast. somara, good morning. >> somara: good morning, janai. it's not moving out of the southwest, that much i can tell you. palm springs, for the next four days they're looking at 110 or higher. phoenix still soaring to around 116 this afternoon, but look what's happening. we start to see that ridge push farther northward. this is an area that was unseasonably cool. just a week ago, we saw temperatures in the 60s and 70s, but now in fargo, nearing 100 degrees by wednesday, and lincoln, nebraska 100 for the start of the workweek, even kansas city, missouri, around 100 degrees on tuesday, and so that heat continues as we head through the week and as we look at this long forecast from july 28th to august 1st, you can really see much of the country is going to be above average. cities like new york into the northeast will be in the upper 90s. that's a look at the weather. janai, back to you. >> janai: all right, somara, thank you. tune into "this week" later this morning with a climate and crisis.

martha raddatz speaks with washington governor jay inslee about the record-breaking heat wave and what can change. plus, after martha's nuclear submarine access exclusive in south korea, she'll speak with house foreign affairs committee chair michael mccaul about those rising tensions with north korea. whit? >> whit: we turn to the now rising tensions. show of force ahead of taiwan's annual military exercises. abc's britt clennett joins us now from south korea with the latest. britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, taiwan plans to hold those military drills next week. they're essentially a rehearsal in case china did invade the self-ruled island, and china is sending a clear message. dozens of chinese fighter jets and bombers flying toward taiwan and crossing the midpoint of the taiwan strait. now that's the unofficial buffer zone between them. china is sending 37 planes in 24 hours which really marks a jump from the fairly regular incursions we have seen, but this kind of aggression, it's really something china does to show its anger over political moves such as hosting u.s. officials.

it even fired missiles over the island during former house speaker nancy pelosi's visit last year. in this case, however, china is clearly riled up by taiwan holding these drills over the coming days. the white house will likely be watching china's moves very closely. guys. >> whit: britt, there are other concerns in the region as well. north korea firing another round of missiles. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. north korea fired several cruise missiles into the sea on saturday. that's the second missile launch in recent days by pyongyang. it follows just days after a rare port of call by the "uss kentucky" here in south korea. the nuclear sub is one of the most powerful warships on the planet, and north korea really quick to say it will retaliate, but no surprises there. >> whit: and britt, there's also news on private travis king. he's the u.s. soldier who defected to north korea on tuesday. what more are you learning about that? >> reporter: look, north korea is still very silent on king's whereabouts and his condition.

you'll remember he left a tour of the demilitarized zone last week, but witnesses say he ran across the border as u.s. and south korean soldiers tried to stop him. his family now appealing for privacy saying they are just working towards getting him home, but whit, we spoke to the same company, the dmz travel company that king took that day, and they said all u.s. soldiers are vetted. so really more questions than answers at this stage. gio? >> gio: those are serious questions. britt, thank you so much. now to breaking news overnight. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the hospital for a an emergency procedure for a pacemaker. this as we see new protests for for his judicial overhaul plan. ines de la cuetara is with us in london. good morning, ines. >> reporter: good morning, gio. this is the second time the israeli prime minister has been hospitalized this month as hundreds of thousands protest the government's plans to reform the judiciary, arguing the future of democracy in israel is

at stake. overnight, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu rushed to the hospital for an emergency heart procedure, releasing video before going into surgery saying he needed to receive a pacemaker, and he feels great, but needs to listen to his doctors. his office saying the procedure was successfully concluded, but the prime minister's health has been an issue. questions arising last week after a hospitalization for dehydration ended with the implant of a temporary heart monitor. this coming as netanyahu's faces the biggest challenge to his leadership to date. hundreds of thousands taking to the streets and marching from tel aviv to jerusalem to protest the hardline government's plan to overhaul the judiciary. netanyahu claiming the judges have excessive power over elected officials, but critics say the plan will ruin the country's checks and balances. similar scenes have been playing out across the country since the measure was first rolled out in january. we were there earlier this year. we are here in jerusalem.

we were just outside the knesset, which is the israeli parliament. tensions now surging with the final vote looming. the white house stressing the need for the broadest possible consensus. and lawmakers are now debating the bill. a final vote is expected on monday. the prime minister remains in the hospital. his office says he is feeling well, and is expected to be discharged later today. janai? >> janai: all right, ines, thank you for that update. back here at home this morning, the showdown between texas governor greg abbott and the biden administration over the border is intensifying. abc's maryalice parks joins us now from the department of justice. good morning to you, maryalice. >> reporter: good morning, janai. yes, another showdown. the biden administration is blasting texas over these large buoys that were placed in the rio grande. they say they are cruel and the department of justice wants them gone. this morning, the department of justice with an ultimatum, demanding texas remove large, floating buoys meant to deter migrants out of the rio grande or face legal action.

saying in a letter obtained by abc news, the state of texas' actions violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risk to public safety and the environment, and may interfere with the federal government's ability to carry out its official duties. >> it seems as though they are wrapped in barbed wire so if anyone tried to climb on top of them, i don't know if you have ever touched barbed wire before, but it basically can slice through your skin to the bone. >> reporter: governor greg abbott doubling down, defending his policies in a statement, arguing, "texas has the authority to defend our border under the u.s. constitution and the texas constitution," but many legal experts disagree. there's longstanding precedent that says the federal government, not individual states, have primary authority over immigration and issues of the national border. >> they run the waters, not the states. so they do have a valid lawsuit under the statute. the governor's just acting on

his own. >> reporter: this back and forth coming on the heels of a letter that became public earlier this week, sent from a department of safety trooper alleging cruel, and quote, inhumane treatment of migrants. the letter recounting a patrol where they were given orders to push people back into the river to go back to mexico and also alleging troopers were instructed in the scorching heat to refuse migrants water and describing finding migrants severely injured in the newly installed razor wire along the river. texas dps now conducting an investigation and responding to those claims in a statement, writing, our troopers perform more rescues because they are the ones on the front lines, rescuing migrants from both dangerous conditions and criminal smugglers. encounters at the border are down 30% in june. despite worries there would be a surge after policies changed in may. abc spoke to rio grande city mayor about what he's seeing. >> when you are looking at the wire, when you are looking at these floating devices, to be

frank with you, that is a death trap. >> reporter: now the department of justice says they want a response from abbott's team by 2:00 tomorrow or they plan to take legal action. whit? >> whit: maryalice, thank you. we turn now to the battle over alabama's redistricting plan and what critics are calling the defiance by republican lawmakers against a u.s. supreme court ruling. abc's elwyn lopez joins us now, and elwyn, this has national implications for next year's election. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, whit. all eyes are on the south ahead of the 2024 election next year, and now alabama in this spotlight. this comes just a month after the supreme court issued a surprise ruling in a victory for voting rights ordering alabama to, quote, include two districts in which black voters comprise of voting age majority or something quite close to it so that black voters have, quote, an opportunity to elect a representative of their choice and take a look at what state republicans came up with. a new district where black voters will make up about 40% of

the voting age population. now the new map still only has one minority majority district and that's why critics say the republican-controlled legislature is defying the supreme court with this new map. meanwhile, alabama is expected to argue that the map does comply with the supreme court order, and guys, plaintiffs have until friday to submit their objections prior to the federal hearing that is scheduled for mid-august. gio? >> gio: everyone is watching. all right, elwyn, thank you so much. now to a shocking, newly released police body cam video, and the investigation into what it shows, a police dog attacking an unarmed black man as he was trying to surrender. and what, now we want to warn you of course, that some of the video you're about to see is tough to watch. so abc's alex presha joins us now with more. good morning to you, alex. >> reporter: good morning, gio. yes, this video is tough to watch and it's raising some big questions about use of force and also jurisdiction when multiple law enforcement agencies respond to a scene. this morning, growing outrage over this police body camera

footage showing an officer releasing a canine to attack an unarmed black driver surrendering after a highway chase. it happened about an hour and a half south of columbus. officers tried to pull jadarrius rose over for a missing rear mud flap. the 23-year-old refused, starting a chase. rose at one point, stopping. >> get out of the truck. >> reporter: as officers ordered him out of the rig at gunpoint, he took off again. seven minutes later in the video, police able to slow him down using spike strips. as rose gets out of the cab, his hands in the air, surrendering. a highway patrolman spots circleville police officer ryan speakman approaching with his canine, warning him not to use the dog. >> do not release the dog with his hands up. do not release the dog. >> reporter: as rose gets on his knees, officer speakman commands the dog to attack. >> get the dog off of him. >> get the dog. >> reporter: one officer seen covering her face as they work to pry the dog off of rose's arm.

>> nobody's trying to hurt you. >> you just let the dog bite me. >> all you had to do was stop, brother. >> i did stop. >> reporter: that highway patrolman who warned against using the canine later heard talking to colleagues. >> was i not loud enough? >> you said it three, four, multiple times. >> if the officers feel that there is clearly a safety issue for the officers or citizens in the proximity, they may well use a dog, but the point being you can't send a dog without getting into excessive force issues on somebody with their hands up. >> reporter: rose was given first aid and taken into custody. circleville's police department tells abc news the incident is being investigated by the use of force review board. and rose, again, was unarmed according to highway patrol. he told troopers he was just trying to make deliveries in the area and make it back home. the naacp columbus chapter president says that she was afraid for rose and traumatized after

watching that video. janai? >> janai: it was tough to watch, alex, thank you. we are going to switch gears now and get a check of the weather. that heat that is sweeping across the country, and you're tracking storms, somara. >> somara: yeah, so we are going to head to the tropics. that's somewhere we haven't been, right, for quite some time, it's been all about the heat. he's talk about what's going on. tropical storm don was actually the first named hurricane of the season for 12 hours yesterday. that's going to be a storm not impacting us. this area of development was much higher yesterday. now the chances have dropped as it heads to the caribbean. take a look at why. we see saharan dust limiting that storm, but we'll that dust make its way to corpus christi, san antonio, and that limits storms and causes hazy, gra

>> somara: and you know something i was thinking about, i guess it's working in our favor really to have the saharan dust there because the water temperatures are in the 90s off the coast of florida. that is fuel for hurricanes. >> gio: it really is. ginger was showing us all week long what happens to the coral there. >> somara: yeah. >> gio: thank you so much, somara. now we love this story. the emotional scene as 24 black deaf students are finally, finally honored with the high school diplomas that they were denied more than 70 years ago. abc's ike ejiochi joins us now with more from washington. good morning to you, ike. >> reporter: good morning, gio.

gallaudet university said it was finally time to right a wrong that was committed over seven decades ago. a day many thought would never come. >> kenneth miller. >> reporter: inside this auditorium, you'll find something familiar, caps, gowns, friends and family. it's graduation day. >> you made it. >> reporter: for kenneth miller, it's a day he says was once unrecognizable. >> this has really been just the only thing on my mind as of lately. it feels incredibly exciting. >> today is a celebration, honoring black deaf children who have been oppressed in their educational experiences. so we are taking an injustice and turning it into justice. >> reporter: after decades of waiting, miller and 23 others, some represented by surviving family members, are finally getting their high school diplomas for attending the kendall school division ii for negros, a segregated private

elementary school for black deaf students. this long-awaited graduation coming to life because of kenneth's mother louise b. miller, the hearing mother of four children, three of whom were deaf. prior to the 1950s, her children were educated in maryland because the racially segregated kendall school close to her home, on what is now gallaudet university, refused to educate her children. in 1952, she and the parents of five other black deaf children filed and won a class action lawsuit against the district of columbia. >> because of the class of 1952 and winning that lawsuit, thurgood marshall was able to look at the legal precedent they had set and to see what they had done in terms of their process, and then that led to brown versus board of education. >> reporter: the 24 students went on to graduate, never receiving an official diploma. the moment finally coming to life as kenneth and the families of 23 other students finally got the chance to walk across the stage.

now kenneth and the other 23 students' legacy won't end on that stage. gallaudet university going a step further, naming july 22nd the kendall 24-day. guys? >> gio: what a powerful story. >> whit: long overdue, but a special, special moment. >> janai: thank you so much for that, ike. still coming up here on "good morning america," new rules coming for americans traveling to europe next summer. what you need to know when you make your vacation plans. >> whit: and "barbie's" a blockbuster. the film on track for $150 million opening week. so, is hollywood looking to capitalize on our love for nostalgia? >> gio: and game one winners. we sit down with the newest members of the u.s. women's national team as they look forward to their next match. stick around. you're watching "gma." you're watching "gma." hola, besties. so i'm gonna put you onto sephora's hair care. look at this. they got amika. they got moroccanoil. they have everything you need for your hair care routine. kérastase, which i love for my wash days.

>> reporter: hey, gio, good morning. yes, if you plan on flying to europe next summer, it will get more complicated, and it doesn't just affect the u.s. it's affects six previously visa-exempt countries. that's about 1.4 billion people. this morning, big changes for americans flying to europe. next summer, some travelers will need a pre-trip permission before touching down through the european travel information and authorization system. >> come 2024, there is a pre-screen authorization, electronically, that you will need to fill out online for a small fee. >> reporter: so how will this change impact you? official u.s. passport holders who have not applied for a visa before will need to fill out an application on the official etias website. the cost, 7 euros or $7.79 in u.s. dollars. it can be processed in minutes, but that time period can be extended for up to 30 days if you are asked to provide additional documentation. a confirmation will be sent to your email with a unique number which you must carry with you

during your entire stay. >> give yourself enough time in advance to apply to make sure that you have that in hand before traveling on ward. >> reporter: the new european authorization will allow you to stay in your destination country for up to 90 days. and remember, apply well in advance before you buy your ticket, and make sure your passport details correspond to those in your etias authorization or you will be refused boarding. >> this is just an extra way to kind of mitigate long, long lines at border control and to just give an extra layer of security for the region. >> reporter: the new rule coming after a record-shattering travel season in the u.s. this summer. this past fourth of july weekend, tsa officers screened nearly 10.7 million people, screening an all-time high of 2.8 million passengers in one day. and the documentation lasts up to three years or until that documentation actually expires. the application will be available starting next year. whit? >> whit: all right, jaclyn, thank you. turning now to innovative

ways to beat the heat that we're struggling with right now. we're revisiting a los angeles community keeping cool thanks to some high-tech paint. abc's alex presha joins us with that story. alex, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this past week, l.a. saw temperatures well into the 90s which is why this special coating on asphalt and courts like this could be so beneficial in helping fight against some of these heat islands. on a hot summer day in los angeles, you might not expect to see a crowd of this size on a playground. that's because this neighborhood found a cool solution to the heat problem. a special coat of paint to the pavement to bring scorching temperatures down. >> back then a lot of people wouldn't come during the summer. now look there's a lot of people definitely coming. just to nap here. just to play. >> reporter: we visited last summer when this program was just a pilot. a year later, we came back to see the community celebrating its plans to expand. researchers here found that surface coating actually does work.

gaf, the company that installed the coating says their data shows ambient air temperature in the neighborhood is down 1.5 degrees since last year, and down 3.5 degrees during extreme heat. the data shows the biggest difference is in surface temperature, down about an average of ten degrees compared to before. to give a sense of how big of a difference this makes, right now, we're standing on a regular asphalt basketball court. i'm going take a reading of the surface temperature. 124.5 degrees fahrenheit. it's been about 15 minutes. we're back on this fully treated court and the surface temperature here, 118.6 degrees fahrenheit. now several other u.s. cities are following los angeles. atlanta, boston, columbia, south carolina, dallas, and new orleans all joining a coalition to promote smart services to battle the heat. the biden administration is dedicating over $50 billion to

help states become more resilient to more climate change impacts like heat waves, but as the summer heat wave continues, experts must keep an eye on new ways of cooling down. >> there's no silver bullet when it comes to cooling cities. it's going to take a suite of approaches. >> reporter: so the big takeaway here is that these are just pieces to a much larger solution. it's not just one-size-fits-all, right, which is why it's so important for these communities to weigh in and be engaged throughout the process. janai? >> janai: very important. alex, we're just wondering where you suddenly got that basketball from? last time we checked in with you -- >> whit: i want to see more of the skills, mr. presha. >> janai: we'll check back with you, alex. thank you for that story. it is time now for a check of the weather, and somara theodore has been tracking that heat and so much more going on. >> somara: the heat and tropics, but what about that wildfire smoke? i caught it. sorry. >> whit: a little late. that's all right. but i gave you the rock. >> somara: all right, this is oregon. absolutely hazy out there.

i wanted to say beautiful, but you can see all that wildfire smoke. we actually have some wildfires burning here in the u.s. along the oregon coastline into montana, over 1,000 burning in canada right now, and that smoke is still trying to make its way a little bit farther south into minnesota. we're seeing heavy plumes where those fires are burning, but we do have that area of high pressure. though it brings the heat, it should start to give us a br >> somara: i got it. bop, bop, bop. one, two. >> whit: there we go. makes the swish. >> gio: caught it. thank you, somara. coming up here on "good morning america," first "barbie." now what comes next? how nostalgia may be driving the movie market. stick around here on "gma." movie market.
