drive. they caught a fully functioning car in half as we engineered it. the result is a mind bending affect that makes the car look like it is swimming through the pavement. the car might look like it is moving around on the zone like a roomba, but controlled with a video game controller. well, that makes it reassuring. and that it is safe. >> what if a mouse is crossing the road? >> maybe you'll scoop it up. it doesn't look like it's going too fast. >> no, but it's low. that's how low can you go. that's it at 5:00. see you back here at 6:00 for tonight, high-stakes diplomacy in europe and china. president biden heads to a critical nato summit. the goal, manage new divisions over ukraine, explain new u.s. military support and chart the alliance's future.

5:32 pm
>> announcer: this is the "cbs weekend news" from new york. >> good evening, everyone. thank you for joining us. jericka is off. i'm major garrett. we begin with the phrase, heated exchanges. it's a diplomatic term that conveys hard choices and big stakes. president biden will wrestle with both at the nato summit this week as he hopes to maintain european unity as russia's war against ukraine crosses the 500-day mark. it was also a theme of treasury secretary janet yellen's efforts to clarify and calm u.s. competition with china. but that phrase, heated exchanges, also applies to worrisome global weather patterns and their spin-off effects here at home. scorching temperatures and dangerous flooding. oklahoma saw flooding that required several swift water rescues and the week ahead could be among the hottest america has ever seen. all of this on the president's plate as he arrives in london. that's where we find cbs's weijia jiang. good evening.
5:33 pm
>> reporter: good evening, major. president biden did not attend king charles' coronation back in may, but he promised that the two would see each other soon. their visit tomorrow is just one of several high-profile events on a trip that will likely shape the future of nato. president biden arrived in london ahead of monday meetings with king charles and the british prime minister. when the leaders will talk climate change. but it's the russian invasion and the state of nato that will dominate t the presidedent's european t trip. the world's biggest security alliance is grapplining with if and when ukraine should join. >> i don't think it's ready for membership in nato. >> reporter: the president suggested the war must end before ukraine is admitted, pointing to a nato agreement that all members would engage in the defense of any one ally that is under attack. >> if the war is going on, then we're all in the war.
5:34 pm
you know, we're at war with russia if that were the case. >> reporter: to help ukraine fight the war, the president made what he calls a very difficult decision to provide cluster munitions, canisters filled with a large number of small bombs that can be dropped over a wide area. >> i think they needed them. the ukrainians are running out of ammunition. >> reporter: some democrats say cluster munitions should never be the solution. >> they don't always immediately explode. children can step on them. that's a line we should not cross. >> reporter: on "face the nation," the ukrainian ambassador to the u.s. said they are necessary and vowed that ukraine would not use the weapons in civilian populated areas. >> there's nothing controversial about it. we are fighting on our territory, brutal enemy. >> reporter: today president biden had a phone call with president erdogan of turkey and he pushed for sweden to join nato as soon as possible. so far turkey has objected, accusing stockholm of failing to
5:35 pm
crack down on groups it considers to be terrorists. major? >> weijia jiang traveling with the president, thank you. tonight treasury secretary janet yellen returns to the united states after extensive economic talks with china that she says were productive and direct. cbs's elizabeth palmer is in beijing. >> reporter: janet yellen's final meeting of her trip with vice premier liu he began with niceties. he calling the balloon discovered in u.s. air space back in january unfortunate. she pressing for more dialogue. >> there is pressing need for the two largest economies to closely communicate. >> reporter: but the private session that followed was a marathon. five hours followed by dinner. both sides are signaling they want to head off a trade war. last year u.s./china trade was worth a record almost $700 billion.
5:36 pm
america's economy depends on it. so does china's. maybe more than ever as it wrestles with a slower than expected recovery from covid. but janet yellen also told chinese officials that some american trade restrictions that it doesn't like are nonnegotiable. notably limits on the sale of advanced chip technology to keep it out of the hands of china's military and security agencies. yellen also warned america may restrict money flowing into sensitive sectors, too, but if so, the controls would be limited. >> if we go forward with these, that they will be, indeed, very narrowly targeted and not -- and should not be something that will have a significant impact on the investment climate between our two countries. >> reporter: less than a month ago, secretary of state antony blinken was in beijing to
5:37 pm
spearhead the white house's mission to reset relations with china. janet yellen's follow-up visit has been warmly received. and as she heads home today, yet another u.s. official is packing his bag. in about a week, the u.s. climate envoy, john kerry, is due to be here in beijing for even more talks, which could well pave the way for presidents biden and xi to meet before the end of the year. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, beijing. now the weather. today intense sorms from the south to the northeast, this is oklahoma, which was swamped early today. the rain fell fast, leading to flash flooding and high-water rescues. and after a brutal week of blistering temperatures, can it get any hotter? the answer, yes. meteorologist paul goodloe from our partners at the weather channel has the forecast. >> major, this steamy sunday has turned into a very stormy sunday. the storms are not going to stop overnight but continue even into
5:38 pm
monday. the big concern is flash flooding. the southeast popping up storms, lines of storms, damaging wind, hail and a lot of heavy rain coming through there. damaging wind is going to be the biggest threat and then flooding rains in some areas you see the rain through overnight. the mid-atlantic, the northeast also being pummeled by storms for much of your sunday, continues throughout the rest of the evening. and then on monday some of the storms from this evening still rolled into early morning and pushing into new england. we have a heavy rain threat developing tonight right through tomorrow. flash flooding, ongoing concern. some areas could see, perhaps, 3 to 5 inches of rain. that's going to cause some problems. major? >> paul goodloe of the weather channel. tonight gun violence once again making headlines. in amarillo, texas, two people were killed, five others injured in a shooting at a party after a fight broke out. no arrests have been made. in cleveland, police are searching for the gunman who open fire on a crowd in the city's nightclub district. nine people were wounded.
5:39 pm
here in new york, a 25-year-old man is in custody after police say he went on a shooting rampage while riding a scooter. one person was killed and three others wounded. cbs's astrid martinez joins us with more. astrid, good evening. >> reporter: major, tonight new york prosecutors have charged thomas abreu with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. police say he appeared to be shooting people randomly as he rode through brooklyn and queens. surveillance video shows the suspect pulling up to unsuspected pedestrians and shooting them in broad daylight. >> video shows that he's not targeting anybody, he's not following anybody as he's driving on his scooter, he's randomly shooting people. >> reporter: police say after the first shooting on saturday, they shared video of the attacks to the phones of every nypd officer in what's called a critical message. in less than 30 minutes, the suspect traveled at least eight miles, shooting people in six locations.
5:40 pm
he killed an 86-year-old man and wounded three others. >> a firearm was recovered inside the scooter. the 9-millimeter pistol had an extended magazine. >> reporter: in los angeles a similar crime. police say a gunman used a rifle to shoot at people from his car, in three neighborhoods, critically wounding a pedestrian. the gunman was later arrested. >> multiple shots fired. >> reporter: the later incidents appear to be a trend in urban shootings. last week a masked man open fire at random in philadelphia, shooting and killing five people with an untraceable gun. and tonight here in new york, police say the gun used in the scooter shootings doesn't appear to have a serial number. they're working to determine if it's a ghost gun, similar to the one used in the philadelphia mass shootings. major? >> astrid martinez, thank you. today a fiery collision in chicago killed one person and injured at least 20 others. police say an suv driver traveling the wrong way crashed

5:42 pm
seems like we are seeing strikes. is that where our society is now? >> i think ultimately in an inflationary environment, employers want more seat at the table. price inflation we're seeing across the board and salary, job cuts and everything else. >> reporter: this weekend, u.p.s. workers in minneapolis practiced striking. their teamsters union has set a dadline for july 31st or packages and trucks will stop rolling. autoworkers for ford, gm and stellantis could be next. their contracts run out in september. nationwide workers in various industries are off the job and on picket lines, all demanding higher wages and better benefits as corporate profits and executive salaries have risen. if actors do strike, the financial impact ripples far beyond hollywood. experts say it could cost the economy billions of dollars. major?
