he was under 24-hour surveillance >> we believe he was last seen wearing belly chains and orange jail pants no shirt, no shoes >> abreu was admitted to the hospital on july 6th for an unknown reason after being in custody since april for a hostage situation that left one person dead. a deputy tried to run after him, but abreu managed to get away. president biden is in london this morning where he is scheduled to meet with both prime minister rishi sunak and king charles after his visit to the uk, the president will travel to lithuania to attend a high stakes nato summit before heading to finland this could be the most important foreign policy trip since his time in office so far. let's go to claudio lavangawho is following it for us good morning why is the president starting this trip in the uk? >> good morning, frances the uk is one of the most important if not the most important ally of the u.s. in

the international support of ukraine against the russian invasion but while the two countries, the uk and the u.s. agree that the alliance should continue to support kyiv militarily and financially, they don't seem to be on the same page when it comes to the ukrainian bid to enter ukraine. the uk has been calling for a fast track minnesota that's why all eyes are on the meeting between biden and the prime minister of britain rishi sunak. later in the day, biden will have a bit of a less political and more ceremonyian meeting with kings charles iii, the first time the president and the king meet since the president was not at the king's coronation back in may. jill biden, the first lady was, and later tonight he will travel, biden will travel to vilnius, the capital of lithuania to attend the nato summit, which starts of course tomorrow, frances. >> and we understand, claudio, the president has another significant destination on the agenda for his last day?

>> yeah, absolutely. after the nato summit, later in the week he travels to helsinki, the capital of finland, mainly to commemorate the country's entrance into nato back in april. whilst there, there is no doubt he will still push for the entrance into nato of the others sweden, now sweden and finland applied to join nato together at the same time after the russian invasion in ukraine, but w sweden's bid has been stopped so far by turkey and hungary. frances? >> okay, claudio, thank you. with the war in ukraine expected to be a top issue at this week's nato summit, president biden is defending his choice to provide the war-torn country with a new kind of weapon for more on this, we go to nbc's alice barr in washington alice, how is the president making the case for these weapons? >> well, good morning, jessica this controversy began on friday when the white house announced

that the latest military aid package for ukraine would include cluster munitions. we're talking about projectiles that explode and disperse multiple smaller bombs over wide areas. the announcement prompted an outcry from human rights groups, and even some of president biden's fellow democrats, cause history, the unexploded cluster bombs can detonate after battle and injure or kill civilians the weapons have been banned in more than 100 countries, and the u.s. has even suggested that russia's use of them in ukraine could be a potential war crime, though president biden insisted the ones he authorized are less likely to misfire and won't be used in civilian areas speaking to cnn's fareed zakaria on sunday, president biden described his rationale for providing ukraine with these weapons. >> this is a war relating to munitions and they're running out of that ammunition and we're low on it.

it took me a while to be convinced to do it but the main thing is they either have the weapons now to stop the russians now, to keep them from stopping the ukrainian offensive through these areas, or they don't. and i think they needed them >> and while the president's own party appears to have largely broken with him on this issue, some republicans are offering him rare praise for the choice michael mccaul, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee said on sunday on cnn that biden made the right decision, and that these weapons would be a game-changer for ukraine one area where there is going to be some division on this is nato so expect this to come up at the summit there are a number of nato member countries that do not believe in these cluster munitions. jessica? >> interesting time for this to be happening alice, thank you. today could mark the end of the white house cocaine investigation. that's according to sources familiar with the investigation who also say a culprit isn't likely to be found

some republicans are pushing for more answers house oversight chair james comer had asked for a secret service briefing on the matter his committee is conducting its own investigation into potential security failures that allowed the drugs into the white house in the first place we also have an update on that july 3rd mass shooting in philadelphia police say they believe the suspect kimbrady carriker killed his first victim about 44 hours before the attack when he started firing at people in the street officials say there were reports of shots fired in the area of joseph wamah jr.'s home on july 2nd, but officers were sent to the wrong location so it's unclear if this victim had a connection to the suspect. char carriker has been charged with five counts of attempted murder. a georgia mayor has been arrested on burglary charges khalid kamau was also charged with criminal trespassing. he has also been ordered to undergo a mental health

evaluation the city declined to give details about the charges citing the ongoing investigation. kamau's office did not respond to a request for information but he posted on facebook he is good and free a dozen homes had to be evacuated after a massive landslide in california. a county supervisor says it is likely that all of the homes have been destroyed after being pulled off their foundations the american red cross assisted in finding shelter for the evacuated families a dangerous heatwave continues to scorch the southwest. phoenix could soon break its record of 18 consecutive days with highs over 110 degrees. a heat dome has settled in and is baking parts of arizona, new mexico, and california, and a separate front is bringing extreme temperatures to florida this week. well, the heat has been a big headline for the last several day, but also we're tracking more storms brewing in the central plains here is nbc meteorologist michelle grossman.

michelle, what do you have your eye on right now >> we're looking from the midwest, central plains, southern plains, gusty winds we could see up to 65 miles per hour that's going to bring down some trees, bring down power lines. 9 million people at risk really large hail. that will be damaging. talking from green bay, minneapolis, north platte, amarillo lots of people involved in the severe weather threat today. and it's a front that is sort of slow moving if not a little stationary in some spots we're looking at portions of the central plains once again tomorrow with the same scenario, winds gusting over 65 miles per hour also a few tornadoes and there is that front that we're talking about. it's interacting with the warm air and chance fora tinues in the south. so many spots into the

triple-digits. 110 in 15. phoenix all right, guys. it's soggy it's stormy. it's steamy. we'll talk more about the warm weather in the south coming up. >> just a mess out there all right, thank you, michelle soccer star megan rapinoe is closing a legendary chapter. she announced he'll be retiring at the end of this season. rapinoe has been a member of the national team since 2006 she helped get two olympic medals and two world cup wins for the country. during her run she has established herr as a leader on and off the field, helping secure equal pay for the women's soccer team, earning a presidential medal of freedom in 2022 >> and let's go team usa in the u.s. world cup we're back in 60 seconds with your top business headlines. we unravel threads >> and this drink has six x time e caffffeine than a cacan n of ? now the e philadelphphia has be asasked to stetep in metamorpw
