she's without air conditioning, just like 10% of americans. >> i can't swaddle him at night because it's too much. >> reporter: this raging wildfire jumped international lines from washington state to british columbia. so far, hundreds of fires across canada have burned a land mass the size of cuba. people across the u.s. are dialing 911 for help. the cdc's heat and health tracker shows the most er visits last week were in the west, followed by the southwest and the florida panhandle. fire hydrants offering small consolation for new yorkers, while others seek relief at the city's 500 cooling centers. animals, too, getting help. at the l.a. zoo, chimps chomp on meat pops under misters while meercats on ice cubs. otters stay in the water, feasting on frozen fish, all strategies to keep the animals safe with zookeepers looking for distress. >> we look for lethargy or not wanting to eat, they call the vets immediately and they can be under veterinary care.
5:34 pm
>> reporter: zookeepers add the same signs can be looked out for your pets as well. if they start to appear lethargic or not drinking water, get them help. the heat might be too much for them as well. jericka? >> thank you, reed. well, there is some relief on the way, but new heat records are expected to be shattered this week. let's bring in meteorologist paul goodloe from our partners at the weather channel. good evening to you, paul. >> jericka, good news and bad news when it comes to the heat. the good news is much of the northeast new england, te heat has pushed and passed us by. temporarily. but august is a couple of days away. into august we're seeing the temperatures continue. these are the millions of americans above 95 or higher here. we're talking roughly about, say, 1 in 5 americans, lower 48, dealing with 95 or warmer temperatures as we head into this week, the first couple of days of august. big ridge of high pressure storms. basically up and over that ridge.
5:35 pm
and that means, yeah, temperatures, not heat indices. straight air temperatures, 90s or at or above 100 degrees as we head into this week. and, yeah, records will be falling, mainly now across parts of the south and even parts of texas. jericka? >> well, it is summer. paul, thank you. to politics now. as early as this week president trump faces the possibility of new indictments on top of the legal peril he already faces. that didn't stop him, though, from lashing out on the campaign trail this weekend. cbs's skyler henry is in washington with more on that. >> reporter: good to see you. the former president has a sizeable lead over his closest competitor in the republican primary race, according to the latest polling. and despite his legal troubles, his supporters remain largely unphased. former president trump stumping in iowa and pennsylvania over the weekend. >> i'm being indicted for you. >> reporter: on stage he repeated familiar false claims while jabbing at his political
5:36 pm
and legal foes. >> the radical lunatic democrats, they impeach me, they indict me. >> reporter: backing for the former president is unwavering. a 538 poll shows mr. trump pulling in more than 50% of support. this in the face of his legal troubles. trial dates are set after he was indicted in two different criminal cases. one tied to hush money payments, the other a justice department probe into the alleged mishandling of classified documents. just last week new charges were tacked on, including claims he showed off classified documents related to military plans. and more indictments in separate investigations could be coming. >> if these accusations are true, it's incredibly dangerous to our national security. again, this is coming down from a department of justice that, frankly, the american people don't trust. >> reporter: other republicans on the campaign trail say nominating mr. trump guarantees democrats stay in the white house. >> donald trump is running to stay out of prison.
5:37 pm

5:38 pm
fed hiked interest rates again last week, bringing them to the highest rate in 22 years. despite the high cost of credit, some sectors are booming. for example, construction. average gains of roughly 15,000 jobs a month over the last year. residential construction is especially hot, despite rising interest rates. there's just so little existing inventory for sale. inflation has eased. last month prices were up 3% year over year. that's the smallest 12-month jump in more than two years. it's still higher than the fed's 2% target. >> i'm not here to declare victory on the economy. we have more work to do. >> reporter: but there's been significant progress, considering america's unemployment rate, 3.6%, lingers at an historic low. while most people have paychecks, our new cbs news poll shows widespread pessimism about the economy. roughly two-thirds describe it as bad. most say the economy is struggling and uncertain.
5:39 pm
personally, 70% of working americans say those paychecks can't keep up with rising prices. most say, at best, financially they're staying in place. but more than one-third say they're falling behind. nearly half, 45%, think the biden administration's actions are increasing inflation. but nearly two in three believe congressional republicans have nothing to show in the fight to tame inflation. the message, millions of americans still feel hard times, while the fed works to stick a soft landing with the economy. mark strassmann, cbs news, atlanta. an american nurse and her child had been kidnapped in haiti. it happened thursday, according to the faith-based charity, where alix dorsainvil works. the state department is aware of the incident. it's in contact with authorities in haiti who have been appealing for international help to break the grip of armed gangs in that country.
5:40 pm
now to some disturbing video from pakistan where today a suspected suicide bomber targeted a political rally held inside a tent. at least 44 people were killed and 200 others injured. they were there to support a pro-taliban cleric and his political party. no one has claimed responsibility for that attack. today russia's president vladimir putin presided over a parade showing off the country's military might. as cbs's elizabeth palmer reports, there was no mention of ukraine. [ speaking in global language ] >> reporter: a flotilla of russian fighting ships marked navy day in st. petersburg. it was all crisp uniforms and ceremonial salutes, with no hint the country's land and air forces have been battered and depleted by the war in ukraine. in moscow, though, there was no
5:41 pm
ignoring war. armed drones attacked buildings in the central business district early this morning. witnesses screaming in shock. the city's mayor blamed ukraine, which has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility. earlier this week in a sign russia may try to scale up the conflict, lawmakers raised the age for conscription for men from 27 to 30. this law is written for a big war, said the deputy, and it already smells like a big one. president putin still won't call it a war, but a special military operation. no one is fooled, though, least of all the african leaders who attended a summit in st. petersburg just days after russian missiles slammed into ukrainian grain silos and russia said it would no longer allow shipments from ukraine for grain that africa depends on.
5:42 pm
south african president. >> this conflict is now directly affecting us as well. there should be peace and this conflict should be settled. >> reporter: african nations have now joined china and brazil in calling for a peaceful solution to the ukraine war, but so far the commander in chief shows no sign he's ready to compromise. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, london. it's been a dangerous and deadly weekend in the nation's skies following the crashes of five small aircraft in three states. cbs's shanelle kaul has the latest on what happened. >> reporter: well, jericka, seven people were killed in multiple plane crashes across the country this weekend. but one in new hampshire yesterday, where the pilot survived, was caught on camera. >> he dropped the flag. he's going in.
5:43 pm
>> reporter: video shows the moments the plane fell from the sky just feet from swimmers. the plane's tail flips into the air as it splashes down. moments later the pilot emerged from beneath the plane. >> it seems like he did everything right. >> reporter: patrick murphy was one of the lifeguards who brought him and the plane to shore. >> it's not something you see every day, so for us and our staff, it's instantly, what do we have to do to help people? >> reporter: the piper is registered to a company that does banner advertising, and the pilot who had minor injuries, declined to comment today. this plane crash, just one of several incidents being investigated by federal transportation officials this weekend. today three people were killed in san bernardino when a plane crashed into an airport hangar, and yesterday in oshkosh, wisconsin, two people were killed when a small plane they were flying in crashed into a lake. in a separate incident, officials say a helicopter
5:44 pm
collided with a gyrocopter at an air show, killing two and injuring two more. robert is the former chairman of the national transportation safety board. is there any difference between the crashes we're seeing involving bigger planes versus smaller planes? >> is there a safety difference? there is. but general aviation is generally very safe. >> reporter: and the ntsb typically reports around 1,000 plane crashes across the country each year, but important to note, so far this year we've seen about half that number, and that includes everything from military to smaller aircraft, just like we saw this weekend. jericka? >> great information. thank you. straight ahead on the "cbs weekend news," why this hot summer could be the coolest one we have left. plus, the latest on barbie's box office bonanza. and later, a royal census of swans and w why it'ss a an

the united nations warns that the earth is now in an era of global boiling. as a cbs news poll out today shows, more than half of americans think climate change needs to be addressed immediately. here's cbs's ben tracy. >> reporter: this summer feels like a page torn from the book of revelation. the planet's alarm bells ringing all at oncnce. are climate scientists, climate experts, surprised by this? >> they've been telling us this is going to happen. it's definitely on the outer ranges of what scientists thought would be happening by the year 2023. >> reporter: leigh stokes is a climate expert at uc santa barbara. she says human-caused climate change, along with an el niño weather pattern is fueling these extremes.
5:49 pm
what is the climate change connection to a heat wave? >> heat waves are really the easiest thing we can link directly to climate change. and increasingly climate scientists are saying there's no way we would have seen a heat wave like we've been seeing over the last few weeks, all across the planet, if we hadn't warmed the planet, if we didn't have climate change. >> reporter: a new report by worldwide attribution scientists say these once rare extreme heat waves are not rare in today's climate. they warn that unless the world rapidly stops burning fossil fuels, these events will become even more common, occurring every two to five years. >> this isn't like a permanent situation. if we stopped burning fossil fuels, the temperature would start to stabilize. unfortunately, until we do that, there's a lot of warming in the system and it's going to keep getting worse. >> reporter: we have already warmed the planet by 2 degrees since pre-industrial times. we are on track to reach 5.8 degrees of warming by 2100. scientists say we are still pumping record amounts of carbon pollution into the atmosphere.
5:50 pm
there are signs of hope. demand for electric vehicles is accelerating and renewable energy is more abundant and cheaper than ever. >> i have young children, twins under 2, so i'm not interested in talking about how it's impossible or how it's not real. it's real. it's happening now. and we know what to do to stop it. >> reporter: but unless we dramatically cut planet warming emissions, this record hot summer might be the coolest one we have left. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. still ahead on the "cbs weekend news," it wasn't a mic drop but a mic toss moment for rapper cardi b. nt than other moy managers.

finally tonight, britain's king charles has inherited an annual ancient tradition involving birds, old-fashioned boats and a bit of math. but this year things aren't adding up. cbs's ian lee explains. >> the king! >> the king! >> reporter: the uk's newly crowned king charles needs to keep his ducks in a row. that includes counting his swans. every year boat loads of workers round the birds up along england's river thames in a tradition called swan upping. >> we lift them out of the water, take them ashore, weigh them, measure them, and most importantly, we check them for
5:58 pm
any injuries. >> reporter: they search an 80-mile stretch of the river for five days. in a royal responsibility that dates to the 12th century, when the crown claimed all the wild swans in the land. back then it was more about making sure there was enough swan meat to eat at feasts and banquets. this is the first time in 70 years they're patrolling these waters in the name of a new monarch, after the death of queen elizabeth. >> the king isvery, very interested in wildlife, conservation, so it's going to be marvelous, i think. >> reporter: but results from this year's swan census aren't so delightful with the number of swans found dropping by 40%, a result the king swan marker calls disappointing, especially after tragedy struck last year in the form of bird flu. >> we had many hundreds of swans on the thames die over this, mainly in the larger flocks, which was a real disaster to us.
5:59 pm
>> reporter: but there's an upside to the drastic decline. the 94 swans found are in good health as the king takes them under his wing. ian lee, cbs news, london. well, that is the "cbs weekend news" for this sunday. i'm jericka duncan in new york city. thank you so much for watching. have a great night. i'll keep going to city hall, and i will keep fighting this until the end. now at 6:00, some mobile home parks in the north bay may be closing and it could leave residents with homes that they still own, but with nowhere to go. people say they are tired of finding stolen and burned
