cnn's sara murray joins us now.o sara, first tell us about the importance of this journalist's testimony specifically and what he witnessed on that day in december 2020. >> sure. well, i mean, george chidi is an independent journalist in atlanta. we interviewed him for a documentary we did about the georgia case, and he sort of stumbled upon the republican fake electors meeting at the georgia state capitol. he essentially got kicked out of the room where they were meeting. he was told they were meeting about an education matter, which of course was not the case. he's somebody who already testified before the special grand jury, again, the one that was collecting evidence but that couldn't issue indictments in georgia about what he saw. so he's an important witness for fani willis in regards to her inquiry in the fake elector probe. when you look at jen jordan, who is this former democratic state senator, she's the one who, again, was a state senator in december 2020 when rudy giuliani and this whole band of trump al

cnn's clare sebastian joins me in london with the latest.re, obviously trying to imply that ukraine isn't striking military targets. what do we know about the strikes in crimea, and is this also a space of attacks that we've been seeing. >> yeah, ukraine is getting bolder and they're sending a message that crimea is within limits, all sorts of things being hit. the black sea coming into play as well. look, i think there's messaging that this is a hard military strategy, crimea, with the military races, it's always been a key part of russia's war strategy here. and i think just looking at the map, it's hard to imagine that this russian-backed official in kherson saying that these aren't commercial bridges, these are links between russia and the areas just to the north. now the russian military saying they have traffic to this very thin strip of land that links the peninsula with mainland ukraine, so it's clear there's disruption there. ukraine progressing slow on the front lines and continuing to be slow is take a concerted effort to ease the

cnn's carla suarez is joining us now from.unfolded there today. >> reporter: well, brianna, we know the reenactment is still taking place at this hour. earlier we heard sounds that resembled gunfire coming from the building where this shooting happened. now, the families of the victims believe that this reenactment is going to show that there's no way former school resource officer scott peterson did not know where these gunshots were coming from on the day of the shooting back in 2018. we're told that at least 140 rounds of live ammunition will be fired here today. now, back? june, peterson was found not guilty on criminal charges for his inaction the day of the shooting after his attorneys argued that peterson did not go inside of the 1200 building because he thought there was more than one shooter and did not know exactly where the sound of gunfire was coming from. now, before the reenactment got under way earlier today, nine members of congress, democrats and republicans, they toured the 1200 building along side some of th

cnn meteorologist jennifer gray.w the scope, the satellite images do, the video you're showing there, but also the images of that orange-colored foreboding sky as a result of the smoke as well. tell us the extent of this. >> yeah, it's really terrifying, jim, and you know this is such a rural area, this is part of the northwest territories of canada. so when you tell someone to evacuate there's really not a lot of choices on how to get out. a lot of the locations, the fire is on both sides of the road. so people are having trouble. it is a terrifying situation and all of that smoke not only extremely dangerous for the folks in canada but it is coming down into the u.s. like we've seen periodically throughout the summer with other fires. so here is yellowknife and you can see from the satellite imagery and you've been showing that as well all of the smoke. poor air quality all over portions around the fire, which is in extreme northern sections. and then just falling down to the south into the u.s. and so that's where

paula reid, cnn, washington. >>> meanwhile sources close to former president trump tell cnn that he is considering counter programming next week's republican presidential debate on fox news instead of participating in it. the sources say he has not done any prep for the milwaukee debate though some suggest that he doesn't need prep. they stay trump could decide to participate at the 11th hour, but instead they say trump has been throwing out ideas for his own counter programming including possibly doing an interview with tucker carlson. >>> we want to turn now to the wildfire disaster in hawaii. maui county officials announcing overnight that the death toll has risen again to 111. a total of nine bodies have been identified and of those the names of five have now been made public. governor josh green though says more than 1,000 people still remain unaccounted for. the police chief became emotional when asked about the relatively low official death toll. >> with all due respect, i'm not going to say how we found people when i haven't even told their families. how do i do that? you know,
