dealing with this summer smoke is a new experience for many outside the western united states, wherel too common. and as the smoke triggers breathing problems for many, it also highlights the fact that more than 5 million americans don't have easy access to a respiratory specialist. for walt and penny copeland, the small town of hayden, colorado has been home for 5 decades. set high in the rocky mountains, they're that much closer to the deep blue skies and puffy white clouds. >> maybe take a bunch of deep breaths. >> don't cheat on your oxygen test. >> i didn't.

of just the red room where some of the world's highest temperatures are being seen in the western united states. and kristin southern is joining us now. live from nevada christa. i was just have a quick look is about 9 am. i think they're in its estimated at about 57 degrees celsius. i know people there are used to high heats, but how many coping with the 6th stream measure the well here in clark county, nevada, it's actually 43 degrees and it has been for 3 days now and is expected to stay at those levels till the end of the week, that's not really unusual in terms of this part of the country because of the desert in terms of temperatures do get that high. what's unusual is that it's been so long, it's been going on for such a long time here and throughout the south western united states. we've seen many cities break daily records and records for our extended period of time. in phoenix, arizona. it's been over 45 degrees for now uh, 19 days consecutive. and so with the national weather service is telling people here you may think you're used to living in the desert. but this is not the typical

, similar advice that we're seeing coming out in southern europe and, of course, the south—western united statesis to seek shelter during the hottest part of the day. so if you can, stay inside, in air—conditioned rooms as well, to get body temperature down. drink plenty of fluids as well as we've got this really, really hot weather. and people are being asked to reschedule particularly outdoor activities to very early in the morning or later in the evening as well, but really trying to stay out of that heat during the middle part of the day. and, sarah, middle part of the day, it would be generally the hottest part of the day, would you say? that's right. and generally the highest temperatures this time of year probably not until about 3pm or apm. so, actually, gradually warming up through the morning, peaking from about lunchtime to the middle of the afternoon, and then not dropping off in a hurry, actually, overnight as well. that's something we've seen with this warm air mass in place, that temperatures are staying close to 30 degrees or even higher than that across the south—western united

now entering a new paradigm where a fire is become a global problem, not just a problem in western united states or western canada. so how did poor nations in africa, maybe even south america deal with wild fires? what kind of firefighting forces do they have and are forced to greater risk in these regions due to a lack of funds and even infrastructure? well, it's interesting, it's kind of like a rolodex, every fire manager in every state. and every province essentially has a list of, of agencies that they can call upon in time of need. and there's somebody there on the other line. it's really quite a, an intimate relationship, but when i was in alaska, in 2015 for that record breaking fire season, the alaskans were calling firefighters from alberta to come in and help. and it was just simply getting on the phone saying, can you get here? and we have now a process in place where you really don't, you know, these firefighters aren't stopped at the border and all of their, their, their equipment has to be checked by customs. they're just fine scratch, they can move very, very quickly across the bo

worse this weekend as a heat dome intensifies and reaches peak strength over parts of the western united states. 85 million americans are under heat alerts after the heat dome expanded into california, which is now experiencing its first extreme heat wave of the year. it's already been dangerously hot for weeks in texas, florida, and arizona, where phoenix is in the middle of a record-breaking streak of consecutive 110-degree days. the intense heat is a silent killer. >> in our region across the united states, heat is fatal. it's something that the public needs to take seriously. it can impact everybody. nobody is immune. >> forecasters are warning residents in las vegas to avoid the outdoors between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. forecasters at the national weather service told cnn heen the hottest place on earth, california's death valley could reach rare highs of 130 degrees opt sunday. this happened only a handful of times. one of them was the global high of 134 degrees. cnn has reporters all across this developing story. ed lavandera is in dallas, texas, with a lock at how people are beating the

several cities in the western united states have really tried and failed to overturn rulings on thisn the past. the latest to unsuccessfully bring it to an appeals panel was grant's pass, oregon and we're watching them because what happened here is important and gives sway to what happens there. the judges here refused to hear an appeal of the town's camping ban but this time the court was more divided on the case than in the past. why? some newer trump appointees on the panel. bringing a conservative voice. in fact, let's look at that. a scathing dissent from one of the conservative judges really sounds like alarm bells this morning. judge smith jr. says homelessness is presently the defining public health and safety crisis in the western united states. conservative changes in the courts really influencing this issue. >> this -- decision really shows the break in the ninth circuit and it shows how much president trump's judicial nominees have changed the ninth circuit in the sense that there's now a solid conservative block. but the decision not to -- means we maintain the status qu

diane: we're in another drought here in the western united states, so there's pressures for literally finding enough feed for the animals. there are so many stressors on him right now. john: you can do the best job, be the smartest person out there, but mother nature really has the final say, and that's a little bit--that's what happened with these fires, too, that we really didn't have-- you can't control that. all you can do is work at controlling what you can control. [cattle lowing] we saw a lot of changes in the california dairy business, and that's when we decided as a family to diversify into wine grapes. you know, the grapes helped pull us through, which is one of the reasons why you look at diversifying your business operation. here we are in august of 2020 in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, and we have this fire. diane: the first fire that we had, large fire, was in 2017. it was quite shocking. it was a major fire. i believe over 8,000 structures were burned, 5,000 homes here in sonoma county, so everyone was impacted by it. we've had more fires since then. in 2018, ther

powell was basically saying, you're never going to settle a lot of the in the western united states, the price to be paid was there was, you hundreds of thousands of farmers that came to high plains in the 1880s, 1890s, who, you know, tried to farm and were miserable failures, even under normal conditions. then when you had, you know, some years of drought in, the 1890s, it was a disaster so, you know, powell was a prophet, environmental prophet before his time. and not sure we're still quite hearing that message. it comes to water resources because we're still in the southwest. you know, we're really living beyond our means. the colorado river, is it the bottom of the grand canyon? the curve of the canyon? you know, it seems like a very powerful river, but it's not that big of a river compared to a lot of eastern rivers. you know, it doesn't have that big volume of water. so it's now supporting, you know, 25 or 30 million people and a lot of agricultural areas don't have any other major source besides the colorado river. and the demands on the river, the legal obligations supposed t

some western analysts have said that this conflict for the united states, the negatives of this conflict outweigh the positives. and they've said that what's best for the united states is to open up for dialogue. but let's take a little look at the negatives right now. so they've mentioned a potential nuclear risk, as well as an escalation of direct conflict between nato and russia. and as the us general mark, milly has even listed to avoid a russia and nato war as a top priority for the united states. because that would essentially mean that the us would be in hot water as with a nuclear power. now, a lot of conflict causes other difficulties for us interest. one of them being spending more money when it comes to ukraine to make it return to its economic sustainability as well as this, the united states has an interest in stable energy markets. the longer this conflict goes on, the more pressure comes on food prices, but also global economic trends affects the united states greatly. uh, the united states economies to be precise. and so as long conflict would mean that the global economi

in the united states, 38 southern and western cities, including las vegas, expect to record their highest—everperatures. authorities have issued heat alerts for almost a third of the country. an all—time high of 48 degrees was recorded on saturday in arizona. i'm joined now by our correspondent sophie long who's in las vegas. how are you dealing with the heat? extremely hot. just like everybody else here in las vegas. it is on course to be the hottest day ever recorded here, with it poised to hit 48 celsius. it is pretty hard to imagine it being any hotter. it's not much cooler in places like phoenix, arizona, they have had temperatures above 43 for the last two weeks. that is when the problem is, it is notjust that we are expecting these dangerous levels of heat, there is no respite. el paso in texas have had temperatures of 38 celsius for more than a month and there is no end in sight. 38 cities across the southern and western united states are expected to have record—breaking temperatures today. at the moment, some 100 million americans are in what they call an extreme heat warning. there i

so some of the world's highest temperatures have been seen in the western united states. that's where christmas salumi is. joining us from joining us from nevada. so the big problem there, kristen is that the heat has been high for some time now. yeah, that's right. it's 43 degrees here and it is very, very hot, but not really unusual for a desert community. what is unusual is that it's been going on for 3 days and is expected to last for at least another week. just as we've been seeing in phoenix, arizona, those really high temperatures exceeding uh, 19 days now setting a record has it seems that much heat for that long in 49 years nearly 50 years. and of course that puts the most vulnerable people at risk. and here in clark county, nevada, which includes las vegas, there is a high population of homeless people. you may see behind me some tents that are actually set up outside in the scorching heat, no shelter insight. and these are the people most at risk. i'm going to bring in now i want salinas, he is the social service director for salvation army which helps people i
