heat, severe thunderstorms, flooding rains looks like it's going to continue as we head in through much of this upcoming july week. first of all, we have to worry about more potential flash flooding in the northeast. we've had some heavy rain, obviously, in recent days. more has fallen over the weekend. looks like we're going to see that even into tomorrow morning as some more heavy moisture comes up from the south. and then, of course, the big story of the summer continues to be the intense heat. here across the west into parts of the southwest, excessive heat warnings to heat advisories, that extends through the lone star state of texas, through louisiana, mississippi and even as far east as florida. we can see numerous record highs and warm overnight lows anywhere from california through texas and through much of the southeast, even into parts of the northeast as we head through much of this week. o, really, mark, this almos unprecedented summer heat wave doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon. >> wow, okay, thank you, jeff.

>> we're sure that she called 911 from the interstate and we're sure that a few minutes later when the police arrived, she was not there and there wasn't a toddler there either. >> reporter: russell's car and some of her belongings including her cell phone and apple watch was found at the scene, but no sign of a child. russell's parents told the nbc affiliate in birmingham that they believe that the child she reported seeing on the side of the road was used as bait to lure her out of her car. mark? >> okay, astrid, thanks. the survivorless murder suspect who escaped jail and led law enforcement on a manhunt is back behind bars in pennsylvania. police arrested michael burham at gunpoint. he escaped jail in warren county using a rope made of knotted bed sheets. but after nine days on the run, he had made it all of six miles. a couple spotted him on their property and alerted police. >> i said, what are you doing in my backyard? he said, i'm camping.

what happened next was much, much worse. about 20 minutes after we arrived here at the hospital, there was this huge explosion, not more than 300 yards away, and ever since there's been this steady flow of the wounded. some of them soldiers, most of them civilians, some of them mortally wounded. russian artillery had struck a residential neighborhood in this otherwise nearly deserted town. some died on the spot. patients crying out for help. some unable to cry out at all. when we report that eight civilians were killed and 13 more were wounded, we're rarely at the scene to witness exactly what that looks like up close. doctors say the high number of victims suggests a cluster bomb attack. it's been a tough day but this doctor says his team have seen worse. we would like there to be less days like this, he said, but we've had even more intense days. do you ever get tired of that? we'll deal with that after victory, he said.

we have work to do now. there is no time for tiredness. we saw firsthand how the front line fighting is going, too. soldiers of the 17 tank brigade on the attack with u.s.-supplied howitzers near bakhmut, the front line. this relentless trying to push them back from areas around bakhmut. the veracity of the fight belied the laid back plain-speaking 24-year-old commander roman. can you describe what it's been like here for the past few days? the war is on, he said. we shoot at them, they shoot at us. that's about it. he said he and his soldiers are hopeful those controversial american cluster munitions that have arrived will help penetrate russian defenses as they burn

the first time what these candidates are earning and spending, especially those republicans who are looking to meet a certain threshold to hit the debate stage in august. republican presidential hopefuls are revving up for next month's gop debate in milwaukee. >> i'm going to be at the debates. i think it's a great opportunity. and especially for a guy like me. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis firmly polling in second place in the gop primary behind front-runner former president trump says he's ready to take him and other candidates on, but not with insults. >> i don't do insults, so that is true. i think just getting in this insult game turns voters off. it's not something i want to do. >> reporter: while mr. trump weighs whether to participate, republican challenger chris christie is using a different strategy. what is your path to victory? >> through donald trump. there's no other way to do it. >> reporter: only governor desantis and south carolina governor tim scott are keeping up with the former president's cash on hand.

according to the weekend's new campaign finance reports. president biden's campaign team put out a statement sunday, doubting its efforts, outearning the entire gop field last quarter, saying in part that the numbers show americans are rejecting a republican field that wants to roll back the economic progress we've made. >> there's an argument that it is -- >> reporter: top democrats are condemning presidential challenger robert kennedy jr. fueling remarks fueling covid-19 conspiracy theories, comments he's denying. house minority leader hakeem jeffries tweeted earlier today that kennedy's comments were unacceptable and unconscionable. as of now he's expected to appear before a house subcommittee later this week, testifying about the weaponization of the federal government. straight ahead on the "cbs weekend news," the supersized ev batteries critics say push road safety to the limit. and bondage, bravery, and resilience. the new museum recognizing all of i it. , bravery y and resiliencece. ththe new museseum recogninizin of i it. yes.s. , , and resiliencece. ththe new museseum recogninizin
