>> announcer: this is the "cbs weekend news" from new york with jericka duncan. jericka is off. i'm robert costa. couldn't the legal battle between former president donald trump and the federal prosecutors investigating january 6th is nearing a crucial showdown in court just as the republican presidential race is heating up. and his own former vice president is speaking out. trump's legal team has now been ordered to respond as soon as possible to the justice department, which is seeking to restrain comments about the case made by trump, who has been raging against special counsel jack smith both on the campaign trail and on social media. this weekend trump's lawyers sought a delay, but judge tanya chutkan denied that request and gave trump a monday deadline to respond. trump pleaded not guilty this past week to criminal charges related to his alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. cbs's willie james inman is in washington tracking the latest developments. willie, good evening. >> reporter: good evening,
5:33 pm
robert. ahead of monday's standoff over what former president donald trump can and can't say about this case, trump's lawyer john lauro argued that the former president said nothing wrong. >> we call it a sham indictment. and the man that's doing it, i really believe he's mentally ill. >> reporter: ahead of what could be a contentious courtroom battle, former president trump slammed the indictment brought by special counsel jack smith. his legal team is planning to ask for a motion to dismiss the charges in the january 6th case. >> this is what's called a swiss cheese indictment and has so many holes that we're going to be identifying and litigating a number of motions that we're going to file on first amendment grounds. >> reporter: former attorney general william barr suggested that could be an uphill battle. >> well, it's certainly a challenging case, but i don't think it runs afoul of the first amendment.
5:34 pm
>> reporter: a new cbs news/ugov poll found that just over half of americans believe that trump tried to stay in office illegally. most americans also believe the indictments against trump are upholding the rule of law and defending democracy. at the same time, a majority of those polled believe the investigations are aimed at stopping trump's 2024 campaign. and that number was even higher among republicans. trump's grip on the republican party remains strong, as he and his rivals campaign ahead of the first gop debate, which trump might skip later this month. few of trump's rivals have been critical of him, but former new jersey governor chris christie came out swinging this weekend on "cbs sunday morning." >> he's a completely self-centered, self-possessed, self-consumed angry old man, and he doesn't care about anybody else other than him. >> reporter: trump is also pushing for a venue change in this case, possibly west virginia. but experts tell cbs news that that is unlikely to happen. robert? >> thank you, willie james inman. turning now to the weather.

5:37 pm
>> reporter: ukraine's air force said at least ten of russia's 70 missiles and drones evaded its defenses. a blood transfusion center in northeast ukraine and a grain silo and military airfield west of the capital, kyiv, getting hit. it's russia's likely reaction to this dramatic first on friday. ukraine's military claimed its sea drones hit a commercial russian port on the black sea and this vessel believed to be a russian warship. crippled and listing to one side, it was towed home to a naval base. satellite imagery appearing to show it leaking oil, contradicting moscow's claim it successfully thwarted that attack. port strikes have become the new battlefield with russia hitting two minor ukrainian ports in the past two weeks and its biggest port of odesa the week before that. all forcing global grain prices higher. as drone attacks have ramped up too, targeting both moscow and
5:38 pm
kyiv, damaging buildings in both capitals in the past several days. in odesa the city's most important orthodox cathedral is starting an estimated five years of repairs after a russian missile exploded through its roof in july. >> can vladimir putin be called a true christian? >> reporter: "of course not. i don't even have to think about it. because christians don't kill others. they help each other. >> should vladimir putin be forgiven? >> reporter: "every person deserves to be forgiven, but the most important judgment comes from god." but there is no forgiveness from ukr ukraine's military, robert. officials have declared several russian ports as new military threat zones. and any ship carrying goods to russia will be considered a legitimate military target that can be attacked. >> ramy inocencio, thank you. today, pope francis wrapped up a global catholic youth festival with an outdoor mass at a waterside park in portugal.
5:39 pm
but the week wasn't just about celebrating. as cbs news's chris livesay reports the pope also addressed what he calls a tremendous plague within the church. >> reporter: think of it as one part church and one part lollapalooza and one part woodstock. one of the biggest gatherings of catholics in the world. ♪ jesus ♪ fueled by music, unbridled excitement, and its very own rock star. there's only one man who can inspire this many young people to turn out from all corners of the globe. approximately 1.5 million attendants, including nearly 30,000 from the u.s. alone. sam larson is from wisconsin. >> it's joyous, and everyone here is just loving the lord, loving each other. and it's beautiful. >> reporter: but it hasn't all been a celebration. on his first day in portugal, francis blasted bishops here over a report earlier this year that says more than 5,000 minors had been sexually abused by
5:40 pm
clergy since the 1950s. he then met behind closed doors with 13 survivors. joanne alishandria, a psychologist counseling them, was at the encounter. >> and it was a kind of magic or unique because they just spontaneously start talking and briefly talking about their story of abuse. i think that the pope was even emotional. >> reporter: she says the church needs to move faster in defrocking predator priests, according to survivors. this survivor once dreamed of becoming a nun until she was abused by a priest. of course francis could do more because he's the pope and has the last word, she tells us, but despite the rules he imposes they won't be respected in the various diocese across the world. chris livesay, cbs news, lisbon, portugal. a devastating defeat for the u.s. women's soccer team. sweden takes the win during a penalty shootout, knocking the u.s. out of the women's world

5:42 pm
everything we've done on the field and everything we've done off the field. >> reporter: but players weren't the only ones experiencing heartbreak. fans here in melbourne say the especially close score after a challenging tournament made this a particularly difficult loss. >> this is the earliest we've ever gone out in a major tournament ever and it hurts. we don't really he know what it's like to lose. >> reporter: after the loss first lady jill biden tweeted at the team, "you made this sport matter. always remember that you encouraged women and girls everywhere to show up and fight for their dreams." >> the experience is the best part. it's really nice. >> did you still have a pretty good experience with this match? >> yeah. it was still really fun. >> reporter: a different outcome than what fans had been hoping for but one that still leaves them with hope for the future. nancy chen, cbs news, melbourne, australia. a summer of strikes. across the country unions are calling for better wages and benefits. now thousands of city workers in los angeles are the latest to hit the picket line. cs news's joy benedict joins us live with how it could impact
