this is the "cbs weekend news" from chicago with adriana diaz. good evening. we begin this fourth of july weekend with severe heat scorching much of the country. and it comes as a record number of travelers, nearly 52 million, according to aaa, leave home for the long holiday. temperatures from california to the gulf coast are in the danger zone. merced, california, is baking under 111 degrees. new orleans checking in at 100 degrees. and tampa, florida, a relatively mild 97. cbs's elise preston is on the beach in santa monica, california, good evening, elise. >> reporter: good evening. millions of americans are spending the holiday weekend at beaches to escape the triple digit temperatures in some parts of the country. as the mercury climbs, so does the danger. california's first heat wave of

the summer has many trying to cool off by the ocean. crowds coming to santa monica to take their spot in the sand. >> summer is kicking in. >> summer is kicking in, you can definitely feel the summer heat. >> reporter: the sun is scorching texas, arizona, nevada, and california. upping the risk of heat stroke. >> the symptoms are profuse sweating, slightly elevated body temperature, muscle aches, nausea, fatigue. >> reporter: texas is under a punishing heat dome. austin and fort worth hit triple digits every day this week, adding to the spike in emergency room visits. the cdc says doctors in texas and nearby states treated more than 1,000 patients a day for heat-related illnesses. the holiday and heat has firefighters bracing for more wildfires like this one in colorado. to reduce the threat, crews are getting rid of trees and vegetation. water parks, pools, and cooling centers are popular, as americans look for relief.

>> i have lots of air conditioning on, lots of fans. >> reporter: doctors advise everyone to drink lots of water and wear loose-fitting clothes to prevent heat illnesses. adriana? >> great advice, elise, thank you. all that heat is fueling severe weather across much of the country. lynette charles from our partners at the weather channel has the latest on all those potential storms. good evening, lynette. >> reporter: adriana, the severe thunderstorms will continue through the overnight time frame, so, we're looking at this across the ohio valley, the tennessee valley, as well. as we work in through your tomorrow, that threat slides on off towards the east. we're looking at this around the mid-atlantic, so, damaging gusty wind and also hail. not going to rule out an isolated tornado, too, to pop up. so definitely need to keep our eye to the sky. as we continue through the rest of this into and into your tomorrow. we're also going to be watching the summer heat. the heat indices will be in the triple digits. we're looking at montgomery at 110, atlanta at 102, and we can see for tuesday, the fourth of

july, we do have the severe thunderstorms possible still around atlanta and down off towards the south in miami and up towards boston. >> lynette charles, thank you. across the country today, holiday travelers found more than 4,000 flights delayed and roughly 700 canceled. and that's an improvement to the cancellation chaos that disrupted travel wednesday through friday, mostly due to severe weather. and we regret to tell you that starting today, there is a new potential travel problem. cbs's michael george is at laguardia airport with the details. good evening, michael. >> reporter: adriana, good evening. as if air travel wasn't already bad enough, starting today, wireless providers are powering up 5g towers near major airports. now, there's some concern that that could interfere with flight systems, but the airlines say the impact should be minimal. on an already frustrating holiday travel weekend -- >> we were supposed to get home wednesday night, and we're just getting home now.

>> reporter: a deal with the fcc allows wireless companies to start powering up new 5g our towers near major airports today. an altimeter bounces radio signals off the ground to determine how high the plane is flying. but 5g signals could potentially interfere with those readings, making landing in fog or other poor visibility conditions dangerous. cbs news travel editor peter greenberg explains, this has nothing to do with your phone or whether it's in airplane mode. >> those don't affect navigation, but a 5g tower can because it's sending a sill, not for the plane, but that signal can actually disrupt the readings you're going to get on the radio altimeter which will give the pilot a false altitude reading. >> reporter: most major u.s. airlines have fully upgraded to new altimeters that aren't affected by 5g signals. delta airlines told cbs news, due to supply chain problems, 190 of its planes aren't yet retrofitted. in a statement, delta says, "some of our aircraft will have more restrictions for operations

in inclement weather. safety of flight will never be in question. the airline says it only expects minimal delays. >> the airlines will err on the edge of safety, if they have to divert, they will. >> reporter: now, jetblue also says they've got 17 planes left to upgrade, but they don't expect any major delays. and a delta spokesperson tells me they hope to upgrade their remaining planes by the end of the month. adriana? >> michael george, thank you. now, to france, where president emmanuel macron postponed a state visit to germany amid days of intense protests. over the deadly police shooting of a teenager. thousands have been arrested and hundreds injured in four days of unrest. cbs's elaine cobbe reports from paris. >> reporter: towns and cities across france bear the scars of four nights of violence. angry crowds launched fireworks at police and set fire to buildings. burnt out cars litter the

streets in several areas. last night, the most violence was seen in marseilles, france's second largest city. protesters hurled stones at police cars there and masked youths torched trash cans as police use tear gas to try to clean the crowds. many took advantage of the chaos to go on a looting spree, attacking clothing and other stores. the governrnment sent ririot po to marseilles and to bordeaux in the southwest to back up local law enforcement, and many communities imposed curfews. the rapid spread of protests across france took the authorities by surprise. marseilles on the mediterranean coast is at the other end of the country from the scene of the deadly police shooting on tuesday in the paris suburb as nontear. a 17-year-old, identified only by his first name nahel, was stopped for speeding. as the car abruptly moved off again, a gunshot was heard.

nahel died at the scene. his funeral was held today. hundreds of locals turned up at the mosque to pay their respects. his family had asked journalists to stay awaway. the poliliceman who fifired the fatal shot has been placed under formal investitigation for m mu. he has a apologized toto the fa, but a statement released yesterday byby two police e uni which call the protesters savage hoards and vermin has only added fuel to the flames. tonight, as violence erupts again, the government has not ruled out declaring a state of emergency. elaine cobbe, cbs news, paris. the union representing hollywood actors, sag-aftra, agreed to extend contract talks for another 12 days. actors threatened to join hollywood writers on the picket line if an agreement hadn't been reached. today, the biden administration is reeling from a series of supreme court rulings,

including overturning affirmative action and killing the executive order canceling $400 billion in student loan debt. president biden says he has a plan. cbs's christina ruffini has the latest. >> i believe the court's decision to strike down my student debt relief program was a mistake. >> reporter: hours after the ruling came down, president biden was at the podium with a new plan, to use something called the higher education act to carve out a new way to forgive student loans. >> it's going to take longer, but in my view, it's the best path that remains. >> reporter: the administration had argued that covid and the emergency powers granted under a 2003 law called the heroes act gave it the authority to relieve $400 billion worth of student loans. you think that's a better way to do it, why didn't you use that in the first place? >> we believe the heroes act pathway was quicker and we had the authority to do that. >> reporter: writing for the court's conservative majority, chief justice john roberts said the law, quote, does not permit

basic and fundamental changes in the scheme designed by congress. >> i was really hoping they were going to do the right thing in the name of democracy and all the millions that would have benefitted from this. >> reporter: the last week of supreme court decisions dealt back-to-back blows to biden's agenda. also on flriday the court ruled 6-3 in favor of colorado website designer who wanted to refuse creating wedding websites for same-sex couples. >> nobody should be forced to create a message that goes against his or her convictions. >> this is not a normal court. >> reporter: chief justice roberts said the student must be treated based on his or her experience as an individual, not on the basis of race. >> i think the idea that our society, like, can be color blind is a silly one. >> reporter: while the biden administration tries to hammer out that new rule, adriana, it's also initiating what it's called a ten-month on-ramp. during that time, if you miss a payment or are late, you won't automatically default on your loan and it won't impact your credit rating. >> christina ruffini, thank you.

an okra farm. >> we are hearing people that are started leaving. we're just going to keep seeing that more as the law will take effect. >> reporter: she's referring to reports that some migrant workers are leaving the state. abandoning farms and construction projects. the new law invalidates out of state drivers licenses of undocumented immigrants, includes harsh penalties for those who hire them or transport them, which critics say can include family members. and it requires hospitals that get medicaid funds to ask for a patient's immigration status. republican governor and presidential candidate ron desantis said the legislation is neededdue to what he considers the biden administration's failure to secure the border. >> at the end of the day, you wouldn't have the illegal immigration problem if you didn't have a lot of people that were facilitating this in our country. >> reporter: but for farm workers like ophelia aguilar who is undocumented, the new law

sparks fear of separation. so, you have an 8-year-old child? she said she recently fell off a truck while on the job and was bedridden with a back injury for about two weeks, but did not seek medical care for fear she'd be asked about her immigration status. so, that's your biggest fear? you would rather wait it out in bed, try to heal yourself than go to the emergency room. the florida policy institute estimates nearly 10% of workers in florida's most labor intensive industries are undocumented. employers and workers uncertain about the future the new law will bring. manuel bojorquez, cbs news, miami. still ahead on the "cbs weekend news," how a warm winter wrecked the georgia peach. shingleses.
