And as you know, biden has ordered his top political opponent to be arrested ive got to be arrested they want to arrest me at his latest campaign rally, Donald Trump Blames President Biden for his latest legal problems in the classified documents case. There is growing concern this morning for an american nurse and her child who were kidnapped in haiti. Alix dorsainvil worked for a christian Aid Organization called el roi haiti. Her and her child were reportedly kidnapped thursday morning near the haitian capital, portauprince. According to the groups website, dorsainvil is originally from new hampshire. She moved to haiti after her husband asked her to care for students at a haitian school. Her husband, in fact, is director of the organization and said his wife and child were taken while serving their community ministry. A statement says in part, alix is a deeply passionate and loving person who Consers Haiti her home and the haitian people her friends and family. Alix has worked tirelessly as our schools and Community Nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering. The abduction came shortly after a warning by the State Department for americans to leave haiti. Just yesterday, Secretary Of State Antony Blinken had this to say about efforts to end the unrest there. We have very deep concern for the situation there, particularly with regard to violence and the activities of the gangs. We are, as i think you know, the largest humanitarian donor to haiti, but we are also very focused on working together with partners to try to help the haitians restore security, restore stability. That is the Necessary Foundation for being able to make progress on a political way forward and as well as those in need. Weve been very focused on trying to put many place whats best for a multinational force, including a lead nation to take this on. My expectation is that we will have some progress to report on that very soon. Apparently, there may have been some progress. Kenya a short time ago announced it is offering to send 1,000 Police Officers to haiti to help curb Gang Violence there. They would also help train haitian forces. A u. N. Security council mandate is required for the offer to move forward. Stay with cnn, we will continue to have more on this developing story. The extreme heat, meantime, continues to stifle large parts of the United States. The number of people under heat alerts is growing by the hour. Right now, more than 70 Million People are currently under heat alerts from Southern California, you see it there, right to the deep south. The dangerously high temperatures have claimed the lives of several people in illinois, texas, and arizona. Parts of the southwest are expected to remain in a heat wave for several more days, but in the coming hours, phoenix may actually end its dayslong streak of temperatures topping 110 degrees. Right now, just after 2 00 a. M. In phoenix, it is 102 degrees. Now, relief is on the way for people, though, meantime in the midatlantic, with a heat wave expected to ease this weekend for much of the east coast. But look at this. There was widespread damage and Power Outages around washington, d. C. After severe storms passed through the area on saturday. The National Weather service issued alerts for high winds. Emergency officials responded to multiple calls for trees and power lines down. And the citys rail line also reported disruptions caused by those downed trees and Power Outages. Now, at last report, there were still nearly 100,000 homes and businesses without power across maryland, virginia, and d. C. On the other side of the country, firefighters are dealing with a massive blaze in Southern California that rtstard thursday. The Boney Fire Has led to an Evacuation Order forsome residents of riverside county. The fire has spread across than 2,000 acres, about 100 hectares, and only about 5 contained. Authorities say at least one firefighter suffered minor injuries. Now, its not heat or fire, but heavy rains and fires from a typhoon thats Lashing Beijing and several other cities in northern china. More than 800,000 people have been affected, some 500,000 evacuated. According to the Chinese State news agency, the heavy downpours will continue over the next three days. Some place have seen the highest daily Rainfall Totals in more than 60 years. Now, before making landfall in china, it has battered taiwan and the philippines, killing at least 39 people. Now, the imminent threat of more criminal indictments doesnt seem to bother donald trump very much, at least not when hes campaigning, appearing in erie, pennsylvania, on saturday, the former president was defiant about the legal peril hanging over him. And he claimed it was because hes a threat to President Bidens reelection. Take a listen. The radical lunatic democrats, they impeach me, they indict me, they rig our elections, and the republicans just dont fire the way theyre good people, but they dont fight the way theyre supposed to fight. The others are dirty, sick players and the republicans are very high class. Theyve got to be a little bit lower class, i suspect. Cnns Allayna Treen was at trumps rally and as this report. Z reporter i am here in erie, pennsylvania, where trump spoke to a large crowd of supporters on saturday. As is typical with trumps rallies, there is a big crowd and a lot of energy. One thing that was interesting was the venue wasnt entirely full. And thats not normal for trumps rallies. Yes, there were a lot of people there on saturday, but there were also many empty seats. But donald trump took to the stage at around 6 00 p. M. And he gave a pretty typical 2024 stump speech. He went for his agenda items for his campaign. He also walked through his highlight reel from his time in office, and he also spend a lot of time criticizing President Joe Biden. One thing i found very interesting is that he made an appeal to republicans and told them that they immediate to investigate the biden family more. And also to act on the information that theyve gathered already. And he said, any republican that doesnt do that needs to be primaried. But he also spent a good amount of time talking about his own legal troubles. He railed against jack smith, criticized the Justice Department, and revised the wellworn playbook that weve seen him use time and time again when talking about the charges and mounting indictments that are looming in front of him, which is to characterize them as election interference. And my colleague kate sylvan and i caught up with some Rally Attendees and they told us that they think that donald trump is entirely right in the sense that they do think that he is the victim of a political witch hunt. And that really, the biden family needs to be more focused on in an investigative context. So i think youll continue to see donald trump using the same rhetoric as he moves forward and continues forward with his very Aggressive Campaign scheduled. Al Allayna Treene, cnn, pennsylvania. Mike pence was in iowa saturday meeting with voters directly to try to gain their support. Held this roundtable with first responders. During that event, he spoke with cnn about his chances of reaching the threshold of 40,000 donors to qualify for republican debates. Listen. I think, you know, i think were maybe a couple of weeks away yet, based on the pace of things coming in. Our focus is on the campaign, to be honest with you, you know, the criteria of 40,000 donors being added to the requirement of being at a certain place in the polls is somewhat new. We accept that criteria. Confident that well get there. Its notable, pence did not directly attack donald trump, likely to avoid the anger of iowa voters who had booed another candidate for criticizing the former president. Now, u. S. President joe biden meantime is breaking his silence on what he called a family matter. For the first time, he has acknowledging his seventh grandchild. The young girl is the daughter of his son, hunter biden, and a woman in arkansas, who took him to support over Child Support payments. Jeremy diamond has more. Reporter during his decades in politics, President Biden has put the family at the center of his political life and his political image. His role as a father, his role as a grandfather, talking frequently about his grandchildren. But until friday, President Biden had only acknowledged that he has six and not seven grandchildren. That chapnged when he put out this statement, saying, that our son, hunter, and navys mother, london, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interest of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible Going Forward. This is not a political issue, its a family matter. Jill and i only want ways best for all of our grandchildren, including navy. And that last sentence there is the first time that President Biden has, indeed, acknowledged this 4yearold girl as one of his grandchildren. Now, a source familiar with the matter says it was the resolution of a court case in recent weeks between hunter and this girls mother, over Child Support payments that led to the president now acknowledging this girl as one of his grandchildren. Its important to note back in 2020 when a Dna Test Confirmeded that hunter biden was this daughters father and he then began making Child Support payments, yet it was not until friday that President Biden has acknowledged this girl as one of his seven grandchildren. Another source familiar with the situation says that the president has spoken with his son, hunter, about doing whats in this girls best interests Going Forward. And that that could also including the possibility of the president meeting his granddaughter for the first time. Jeremy diamond, cnn, washington. And you are looking at live pictures there as president Vladimir Putin is in st. Petersburg, russia, and he has kicked off the annual Navy Day Parade in st. Petersburg. And he will continue speaking there at a speech where sailors and veterans were showing off the countrys naval might. Now, president Vladimir Putin is overseeing the events, and as you can see there, will continue to bring you any nuzlines as we get them. The kremlin says he was joined by several african officials, including four heads of state. It happened a day after he wrapped up the russian africa summit, where he discussed ukraine and other global issues. We are getting, meantime, the First Response from ukraine after a drone attack on moscow. The Ukrainian Air force says the strike showed that, quote, theres no more tranquility in russias backwaters. The statement referred to this. Yeah, the video shows an explosion and fireball after the attack. Russian military Officials Say they intercepted three ukrainian drones, but two of them still crashed into a Shopping Complex. That came on the heels of another drone strike in moscow on monday which did not cause serious damage or casualties. Salma abdelaziz joins us from london. You join us as Vladimir Putin has taken to the stage there in st. Petersburg. These were, in fact, audacious attacks by ukraine, and you wonder if it has something to do with the timing of this parade. I think the timing of the parade is important, but in general, paula, ukraine has been more and more focus in recent weeks, claiming attacks on russianoccupied regions and inside russia itself, making clear that they want to ramp up the cost of this war for russians, even those outside of the battlefield. I want to bring you one more piece of video. This is Dash Cam Footage of this drone attack on a Shopping Complex in moscow today. You can see that moment, that flash of light, and begin to get an understanding of how terrifying that must have been for residents. And ukraine, as you read in that statement, said that is absolutely the goal. Ill read you a little bit more of that statement, where they say there is no longer tranquility in the backwaters of russia. It goes on to say the statement, the war is affecting those who were not concerned. Theres always something flying in russia, as well as in moscow. And beyond affecting residents families, civilians, it brings worries and fears and concerns to russian officials, who i image are sitting in st. Petersburg during this naval day parade, probably wringing their hands and wondering if they will interfere during this moment where President Putin is trying to display a show of force. These are not the only brazen attacks that theyre claiming. Im mentioning here the attack on a very critical bridge, the chonhar privbridge, which conne russianoccupied crimea to russianoccupied kherson. A critical Land Supply Route there that provides ammo, troops, everything that front line troops need. Its not the first attack on that very key land route for russia. Ukraine says its going to continue to ramp up strikes there again in an attempt to choke out russian troops. And all of this comes as president zelenskyy, we saw President Putin there, addressing troops. President zelenskyy, himself, as well, trying to give a moral boost to troops near bakhmut. We have footage to show you of that as well on saturday, making a visit on the commemoration of a military holiday. That is a city that of course has been home to fierce fighting now, fierce conflict now for many, many months. President zelenskyy trying to show his own display of strength and solidarity. And in the meantime, as you said, we continue to keep an eye on Vladimir Putin in that speech in st. Petersburg. Salma abdelaziz, thanks so much. Meantime, polands Prime Minister says dozens of mercenaries in belarus are moving towards a strategic corridor on the Poland Border that connects belarus to a russian enclave of kaliningrad. You can see the map there and why its so important. Polands Prime Minister says the Troop Movement is part of an ongoing strategy to try to destabilize poland. Listen. Weve got information that over 100 of the Wagner Group Mercenaries moved towards belarus near the gap. Why would they do it . Obviously to prepare another stage of the hybrid attack on the polish territory. They may in belarusian Border Guards Disguise Rtry to infiltrate poland in disguise. This would create an extra risk. Thousands of wagner troops are in belarus after a failed Military Uprising in russia. It was part of a deal negotiated with the belarusian president , who has since asked wagner to train his countrys military. Now, new barriers are failing, apparently, to deter migrants who are trying to cross the u. S. Border from mexico. Still ahead, why they believe giving up is not an option, even though even though the crossing is now more dangerous than it used to be. Plus, a controversial new law in israel has outraged tens of thousands of israelis who fear their democracy may be slipping away. That story when we return. Otc Strength Lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. And did we mention, it really, realally sticks . Salolonpas, its good medicine.
