twice in the last 24 hours. and an almost uncontrollable crowd in new york city. what police say led to the surge that resulted in dozens of arrests. and tens of millions of people in the u.s. once again starting the day under heat alerts. one city is even putting sunscreen on the roads. >> announcer: live from cnn center this is cnn newsroom with lynda kinkade. the republican front runner donald trump takes his election campaign to south carolina tonight, a state considered a bellwether of future electoral outcomes, and trump's appearance at a republican event in alabama friday came hours after he pleaded not guilty for the second time in two days. that was for additional federal charges related to the classified documents case in florida. special counsel jack smith has asked a federal judge to set strict rules for trump's legal team when they receive evidence in the 2020 election case. smith wants to keep trump from having copies of key evidence, particularly grand jury testimony, for fear that he'll make those details public. we'll get the latest from cnn's jessica schneider in washington. >> reporter: things are already moving quickly in the latest criminal case against the former president. the special counsel's team has submit their recommendations for a trial start date next week, august 10th. at that point trump's legal team will then have seven days to respond and they've already said they will be pushing back against any rush to trial. the speedy trial act actually does say that a trial should happen 70 days after a defendant appears in court. so 70 days from thursday. but trump's team can move to have that date pushed back, which is very likely something they'll do. in fact, trump's attorney john lauro told the court there is way too much evidence to sift through in the 2020 election case to move too quickly toward a trial date. of course, up to this point, part of the trump legal playbook has been to delay, delay, delay. as for trump, he railed against the prosecution on the tarmac of the d.c. airport after his arraignment. he said it was all political, part of the biden administration's plan to thwart his 2024 bid. and he was back on the campaign trial just hours later on friday speaking to republicans. and we could see more legal trouble for the former president in the next couple of weeks, that's when we're expecting action from the district attorney in atlanta, georgia. it really could mean more charges against trump related to his and his allies' attempts to overturn the election results in georgia. a lot that the former president is confronting on the legal realm. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. well, more now on trump's continued campaigning in the face of these growing legal woes. he struck a defiant tone at a republican dinner in alabama on friday. take a listen. >> every time the radical left democrats marxist, communists and fascists indict me i consider it a truly great badge of honor. i'm being indicted for you. thanks a lot. thanks a lot. i appreciate that. i appreciate that, lee greenwood. never forget our enemies want to stop us because we are the ones, and the only ones, that are able to stop them. they want to take away my freedom because i will never let them take away your freedom. it's very simple. >> jessica schneider also mentioned a fourth criminal indictment against trump now seems likely in the state of georgia. as cnn's nick valencia explains there are signs that formal charges may be imminent. >> we're ready. >> reporter: with a half smile and a nod fa fani willis says she's ready. the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. >> if someone broke the law in fulton county, georgia, then i have a duty to prosecute and that's exactly what i plan to do. >> reporter: while indictments could be handed town this month it's been more than a year since willis launch it had investigation, completing a rare special purpose grand jury with the power to subpoena. although the special purpose grand jury cannot itself issue indictments it handed over recommendations in february after interviewing more than 75 witnesses, including some of the biggest names in trump's orbit. >> mr. giuliani, when you met with -- did you lie to them? >> we will not talk about this. grand juries, as i recall, are secret. >> reporter: trump's former attorney rudy giuliani is among the list of trump associates who received a letter indicating he's a target of the investigation. in the months after trump's loss in georgia giuliani met with georgia lawmakers at the state capitol three times spreading conspiracy theoriries and election interference laws. >> i thought they were trying to get something from me. >> reporter: atlanta-based journalist stumbled into the 2020 meeting of fake electors in the georgia state capitol, this week he received a subpoena to appear before the grand jury monday, once the grand jury hears the case it will be in their hands to decide whether or not to issue indictments. is there merit to this investigation? >> i think there's enough to put things in front of a grand jury. beyond that, i'm going to let the grand jury figure it out. >> reporter: it has been months of work for a sprawling investigation that could include racketee ring and conspiracy charges, and there are several indications it may be nearing the end. friday, outside of the fulton county courthouse, a heavier than normal police presence in the shadows of freshly erected police barricades. starting monday morning streets around the courthouse will be closed. and now with trump already facing three other indictments, the big question here is will fulton county be yet another place where the former president is arrested and charged? the fulton county sheriff telling out front his team is prepared. >> we have courthouse security, and quite simply we are ready. >> reporter: there are two grand juries seated in fulton county, one of them tasked with having to hear the trump case. each grand jury consists of 24 jurors plus two alternates, 16 needed for quorum, and it will take 12 of them to be in agreement for indictments to be handed out. nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. well, a social media influencer faces at least two counts of inciting a riot, and an unlawful assembly. police say a giveaway got out of hand. going from 350 people to thousands in just minutes. after cenen said he would be giving away gaming systems and gift cards in new york city. he has more than 15 million followers. the crowd turned violent, lighting fire works and throwing them at police and each other. this led to the nypd to activate a level 4 response, its highest level of disaster response. the city's police chief says cenat was removed for safety reasons, adding he had not notified police of his plans nor had he obtained a permit. 65 other people have been arrested. cnn has reached out to cenat's representatives for comment. record breaking heat to hit the south this weekend. 65 million people are under heat alerts with no end in night. in phoenix, arizona it's been so hot officials are even putting sunscreen on the roads to help reflect heat, and keep the pavement cool. the city government and researchers at arizona state university found that it kept roads up to 12 degrees cooler than normal asphalt. meantime, heavy rain and severe weather has been hitting the mid-mississippi, tennessee river valley, and parts of the northeast, and the northern plains. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray has more on what's in store. >> the oppressive heat across the south and southwest will be a big story this weekend and build into the beginning part of next week. you can see already have excessive heat warnings in effect for a huge chunk of the south, heat advisories as well, excessive heat warnings back in place for the southwest. they did have a couple of days where they got a little bit of a break from the extreme heat, but we are back in it full throttle, we have 107 degrees in dallas for a high temperature today, midland around 105, phoenix 115, las vegas 107, oklahoma city at 102. so temperatures across the south are really going to stay above average for the next several days or so, below average temperatures taking hold across portions of the pacific northwest, the northern plains. so all the heat is really across the south under that dome of high pressure, that heat dome that we've been calling it, 100 plus records potentially broken throughout the weekend, maximum, and highest minimum teo be huge, these overnight temperatures aren't cooling off very much, and so that's what's making the heat even more dangerous. so high temperatures saturday, 102 in little rock. should be at 93. dallas hitting 107 through the weekend, around ten degrees above normal, del rio, hitting close to 110. so just incredibly hot temperatures. feels like temperatures this afternoon, 112 in shreveport. feeling like 112 in new orleans. and then talking about phoenix, phoenix has been one of the highlighted cities for the extreme temperatures, average temperature 102.7. this is for july, breaking a record. previous record was 99, so really shattering that record. we hit 119 three times this year. we saw 17 days with temperatures above 115, and 31 consecutive days with temperatures above 110. so, 41 consecutive days with temperatures of 105 or higher. that broke a record previous record was 34 days. so, phoenix is going to stay above 110 for the next seven days, possibly getting at 110 or below by the time we get to the end of the seven-day period, but we will have to wait and see how that comes through. so, switching gears a little bit, we have excessive rainfall risk for the weekend, this is mainly for the northern plains portions of the midwest. we could see the potential for flooding. these storms are really riding along this boundary that's stretching from the plains and pushing into the midwest saturday through sunday so we'll expect to see several inches of rain through this, wherever the heaviest rainfall amounts, we could see higher amounts. be watching for the flooding throughout the weekend as well. >> thanks to jennifer gray, russian defenses reportedly started to show some cracks and pressure from ukraine's counteroffensive. still ahead, ukraine reports progress in the south, but more fortifications lie ahead. plus, the kremlin's most vocal critic is handed another prison term. we'll discuss the wider purpose of the sentence and what it could mean for the dissenting voices in russia. to turn up our immune support. airborne i need it cool at night. you trying to ice me out of the bed?

>> reporter: look, saudi has been clear, they hope that this will lay the foundations for potential peace agreement, a lasting peace agreement between russia and ukraine. this isn't a final step, far from it, but this could be, in their view, an opportunity to set the groundwork for future peace talks. this isn't the first time we've seen such attempts. we saw similar talks held in copenhagen in june, and headlines coming from that. near around 40 nations sending delegations to these talks, including china, as you mentioned, described by the ukrainian foreign minister as a breakthrough, though russia will not be attending. but, of course, for president zelenskyy, for ukraine and the ukrainian delegation, this will be a crucial opportunity to prove that ukraine supports span far beyond its traditional western allies to seek commitments and renew commitments from key international plays, particularly when it comes to the ten-point peace plan. and one of the key priorities will be the security of the black sea. we've seen the stepping up of attacks over recent days, particularly around port infrastructure. and president zelenskyy has been very vocal about this, and the intact this is having on the global food security crisis. take a listen. >> translator: ukrainian food exports are a key factor in the stability of food markets, and we work with all our partners, in the region and the world in general, to guarantee food security. the state of millions of people in africa, asia and other parts of the world directly depends on how fast the world will be implementing the peace formula. >> reporter: saudi's role in these talks will be market the shift in the conflict. saudi has not overtly backed either side but has maintained communication with ukraine and russia. >> nada bashir, we'll speak to you again very soon, thanks very much. western countries are condemning russia, they're handing another prison sentence to its most vocal critic. a court on friday ordered aleksalexei navalny to serve a 19-year term, on top of years he's already serving on other charges. navalny says his latest sentence is another attempt to crush dissent. well, alexander boarnov is a senior fellow at the russia eurasia center. good to have you with us. >> hi. >> first, navalny was poisoned by russian agents, then he was jailed in 2021 on various offenses, then this week he got another 19 years handed down in a makeshift court in a high-security prison. what's your reaction? what signal is putin sending? >> well, it may seem to the people that there's no news in political repression in russia. unfortunately, there is bad news. because before that, the -- have been executed in a disguises manner. navalny is in jail accused in embezzlement, basically. if you remember, for instance, the main putin challenger in the early years of the center, early putin years, it was the same, accusation of economic character. well, look at the now director yevgeny prigozhin is jailed for his play for performance. openly. before that, five years ago we had the so-called theater director who was prosecuted, again, with top political background, for political scope, but for the embezzlement. now, navalny, who has been in jail after his return to russia for economic crime, now he's openly sentenced for a political crime. >> of course it's not just left critics of putin being jailed, recently a right wing critic, a russian military commander in ukraine, a key player in the an exation of crimea, who then became a critic of putin, he was arrested and sent to a pre-trial detention for allegedly inciting extremism, what does it say about putin and his efforts to crush dissent, no matter where it comes from? >> it's another threshold putin crossed after prigozhin's mutiny. putin inherited the soviet tradition of seeing main enemies, the main danger for his system, democratic position, a democratic opponent, and he was like -- with his critics, the opposition from the right or from the communist left. now it's not anymore the case. again, it's in other news and another signal to all sorts of the positions, that no position, even the patriotic one, even the anti-western one, anti-ukrainian, putin won't be tolerating it if it hinders his power. it challenges his power. >> in a cnn emmy award winning film navalny, we got a clear message, he said the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. and he issued advice. he said, don't be enactive. for people in russia, against putin's crackdown, what can they do? >> it's very difficult matter because many russians have been accused of doing nothing. but, the matter of fact is, yeah, maybe they tolerated the regime but it was a different form of the regime. a form that political scientists call totaltarianism. so-called smart totalitarianism -- after putin stepping aside, as happened in spain after it became a brutal, classical old school dictatorship. and when you're talking about selective repression of russia, they are not that selective anymore. we are in the stage of moving towards mass depression. we have dozens of thousands of accusations. and prisons terms. why navalny was sentenced right now, because his previous prison term of eight years was -- seemed too short for main putin challenger, look at other political prisoners that had been sentenced after the russian invasion in ukraine. got years for treason, and other cases of imprisonment for 15 or 20 years. they are longer than imprisonment in the late soviet union, and they are closer to the oppressions of stalin time. so we are much closer to the mass depression in the number of sentences, and in the length of terms, of prison terms. >> it continues. alexander brunov, thanks very much for your time. still ahead this hour, six police officers call themselves the goon squad and now they're facing the consequences of the brutal beating they're accused of carrying out on two black men in mississippi. new york authorities have discovered the identity of another woman in the gilgo beach murders investigation. we'll have the details when we come back.

same area as the women known as the gilgo four. the suspect arrested in three of those murders, rex heuermann, is not linked to the woman identified friday. who went missing more than a quarter of a century ago. details from cnn's jean casarez. >> reporter: this shows the length of time it can take to identify someone and also the advent of forensic science. it was in february of 1996 that a female went missing. we know now to be karen vergata, went missing in february. in april, there were extremities, body pars, her legs and her feet that were found there on fire island. and then it wasn't for 15 more years until 2011 that a skull was found in the gilgo beach area. now, in 2011 they were able to get dna out of the extremities from fire island, and also the skull, and they were able to discern that it was the same person, the dna was, you could say, a match. but then it lay dormant and it wasn't until 2022 when the gilgo beach investigation and the task force really ramped up that they were able to do more. take a listen to the district attorney of suffolk county. >> in august of 2022 approximately six months after we formed this gilgo task force, a dna profile suitable for genia logical comparison was developed from remains of karen vergata. in september of 2022 the fbi was able via a genetic genology review to identify her as fire island jane doe. thereafter in october of 2022, using a buccal swab from a relative of karen vergata, we were able to definitively identify her. >> reporter: the district attorney is not implicating rex heuermann at all in this investigation. he says that they will continue to work this case, just like they did the gilgo four case. but it is interesting because what rex heuermann is charged with, the modus operandi of those victims is that they were tied with belts and duct tape, they were wrapped in burlap, and they were left on the gilgo beach. now, with karen vergata, as several other victims that were found in that gilgo beach long island area, they were dismembered and their body parts were found in separate and distinct locations. so the district attorney says this investigation is far from over. they will see where it leads. and we will follow it. jean casarez, cnn, new york. an orange county, california judge has been arrested in the fatal shooting of his wife. jeffrey ferguson was taken into custody thursday after police found his wife dead at their home with at least one gunshot wound. he was released on a $1 million bail on friday. the local district attorney's office says it's reviewing the arrest. no charges filed as of friday night. two more bodies were found friday in the rubble of a new jersey home that exploded the day before. the discovery brings the death toll to four. authorities describe the victims as two adult males, and two infant children, all four were in the home when it blew up. a 1-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl were injured and still hospitalized. the child is in a critical condition. the teen is said to be in a stable condition. local and county authorities are investigating the cause of the explosion. well, still to come, pope francis is delivering prayers in portugal. we'll take you there as large crowds gather to see the pontiff. plus, the clock is ticking as niger's military faces a deadline from its regional neighbors to reinstate the ousted president. the growing fears of a wider conflict next. bridgett is here. she has no clue that i'm here. she has no clue who's in the helmet. are you ready? -i'm ready! alright. xfinity rewards creates experiences big and small, and once-in-a-lifetime. welcome back, right now pope francis is praying for the sick at a shrine in portugal. it's part of a gathering of young catholics known as world youth day. events have been attracting huge crowds of faithful over the past few days. on friday some 800,000 people attended a way of the cross event in lisbon to hear the pontiff speak. well, the leaders of last week's coup in niger are digging in their heels as they face a looming deadline from regional neighbors to return to democracy. the junta will retaliate if other west african countries try to intervene. the regional bloc has given the military a sunday deadline to release and reinstate the country's ousted president. the u.s. is pausing certain foreign assistance programs to niger in the wake of the military takeover. secretary of state antony blinken announced the decision friday but says it will not impact life-saving humanitarian food aid. cnn's stephanie basari is following the developments, and joins us from nigeria. good to have you with us, stephanie. no major breakthroughs for the discussions with the west african states which are calling on the restoration of democracy and threatening military action if that doesn't happen. the coup leaders have issued their own threats, too. so how could this play out? >> so, there's a few different ways this could play out, lynda. the one nobody really wants is military intervention. that is the last resort. but it's very much on the table. the defense chiefs have spent the last three days in an intense meeting in niger's capital preparing what they say is a comprehensive plan for the heads of states of this regional body. there's 15 of them. and they are saying that their preferred option is dialogue and diplomacy, and that is ongoing. but all possibilities remain on the table. and this is the first time, really, that -- threatening coup military action against a coup. there have been military interventions in peace-keeping missions and the like. but experts are telling me that they really cannot afford to be seen as a toothless body. they want to take action, and this is the sixth forceful military takeover in the region and they just don't want to sit back and watch and say and allow another one to happen. so that is why they're talking tough, and that is what experts are saying that they are prepared to go all the way with this -- with this threat. lynda. >> stephanie, the united states is now pausing certain foreign assistance programs, which typically benefit the government of niger. explain further what that means. >> so, the secretary of state antony blinken announced friday that they are pausing this aid to niger. it didn't specify what it was exactly, but he says it's an entering measure, and life -- you know, life -- they're going to continue giving assistance to what it calls the most important life-saving humanitarian aid. and now, of course, niger is one of the poorest countries inned world. so this is going to impact greatly, and it receives some $2 billion a year in international aid, according to the world bank. so these sanctions from not just the u.s., but also the eu, and the regional bloc, are going to start biting quite sharply in the country very soon, lynda. >> stephanie, we will talk again very soon ourselves, thanks so much for joining us from lagos. we've got news just in to cnn, pakistan's former prime minister imran khan has been arrested on corruption charges, a lower court found him guilty of making false declarations of his assets, which could disqualify him from holding office in the future. kahn's political party says an appeal has been filed in the supreme court. then's sophia saffi joins us with more on this. this is a major development in the case against the former prime minister because not only has imran khan been sentenced to jail, he'll be unable to run in the november national elections without a successful appeal, right? >> reporter: exactly, lynda, and this has been a long time coming. this trial has been ongoing for close to a year. in october of last year the election commission of pakistan had disqualified imran khan for not declaring that he had sold state gifts given to him for personal gain. that's an ill degal -- that's a offense in pakistan to sell state gifts and then not declare them. so he has been accused of misdecoration of assets. now, a disqualification and an arrest, again, he's got multiple court cases against him. but this is one of the major ones that had been ongoing for the past couple of months, and everybody was monitoring this pretty aggressively. he's made multiple appearances in court, in islamabad, the capital city, currently in the city of -- only just been arrested, and as we know from the previous time that he was arrested on may 9th. there was a lot of chaos in the country. we're just trying to figure out how -- what the repercussions of these recent developments are going to be here in pakistan today. lynda. >> sophia, just give us a sense of the mood in pakistan right now, and what sort of reaction can we expect from kahn's supporters? >> reporter: lynda, if we look back to may 9th when he was initially arrested rather bombastically here in the capital there were widespread protests across pakistan. there was a lot of violence. there were a lot of clashes. and after that, there's been an aggressive crackdown on imran khan's supporters, which has been heavily criticized by major rights groups as well. and a lot of party members from imran khan's party have jumped ship and joined other parties and left imran khan standing alone in many ways, that's been critical of khan's own leadership as well. but at the moment, since it's a saturday, there has been a previous crackdown, but we don't know what is going to happen in the city. still immensely popular. his team has called for a peaceful protest but we're going to have to wait to see how this unfolds. a lot of anticipation here in pakistan, with these developments. lynda. >> sophia, good to have you on this breaking news story with us from pakistan, thanks very much. well, friday marked three years since a tragic explosion in beirut killed at least 200 people, injuring thousands of others, and leaving apocalyptic scenes all over the lebanese capital. people took to the streets to mourn the victims of that blast and demand accountability from those responsible. cnn's tamara kubali reports. >> reporter: the investigation into the beirut ports explosion is frozen, three years on, the people of lebanon have no answers, no closure about an explosion that laid waste to large parts of their capital. for the third year people are pouring into the streets of beirut demanding justice, demanding answers, but also demonstrating against the staggering obstruction of justice. in lebanon an investigation into the beirut port blast has prosecuted leading members of lebanon's political elite. those officials have, in turn, filed several petitions to freeze the investigation. they have largely succeeded. this has angered protesters. it's certainly angered the relatives of the deceased from the beirut port explosion. but they haven't given up hope. they have, instead, decided to take their conversation elsewhere. so increasingly we are hearing growing calls for a u.n. fact-finding mission into the beirut ports explosion, and increasingly the people of lebanon are calling on the international community to intervene in this regard. but as it stands, the ruins are incredibly raw, tears continue to flow through the family members of the deceased who showed up on the streets of beirut today and we are none the wiser than we were three years ago. tamara -- cnn, london. an attorney representing two black men who say they were tortured by police in mississippi claim the sheriff nurtured this environment. malik shabazz told cnn he believes rank and county sheriff condoned the actions of the officers over the years. cnn's ryan young reports. >> they became the criminals they swore to protect us from. >> reporter: they allegedly call themselves the goon squad, six white law enforcement officers giving themselves that moniker, because of their alleged willingness to use excessive force and not to report. they've pleaded guilty to federal charges relating to an assault that according to a document included two hours of torture of two black men after a white anybody complained. several black males have been staying at the property and the neighbor had observed suspicious behavior. the officer who received the complaint directed an investigator to take care of it. on january 24th six law enforcement officers entered victims eddie parker and michael jiggle's home without a warrant. >> handcuffing the victims behind their backs and using racial slurs and derogatory language when yelling at the victims, discharging a firearm in order to scare and intimidate the victims, holding them down and pouring cooking oil, milk, alcohol, and chocolate syrup into their faces and mouths, striking one of the victims with objects including a metal sword, a piece of wood, and a wooden kitchen implement. kicking one of the victims in the ribs. tasing the victims dozens of times with department-issued tasers. and stealing personal belongings from the house. >> reporter: it ended with jenkins getting shot in the mouth, the bullet lacerating his tongue, breaking his jaw, and exiting out of his neck. for months there was a lot of doubt about the official account of what took place. the sssippi department of public safety releasing a statement the day after the incident saying only the mississippi bureau of investigation is investigating an officer-involved shooting. but that didn't encapsulate the horror. in july i spoke to parker, jenkins and jenkins' mother, and toured the home where the crimes occurred. >> here's the spot they started beating me here, and tasing me, and you can see, you know, blood spots now, and my blood spots there. >> reporter: jenkins' injuries make it difficult for him to speak. had anyone from the department ever reached out to you and apologized? have they ever asked for anything at all? the county sheriff ryan bailey spoke to press conference about the incident in late june. >> i believe in my heart this department remains one of the best departments in our state and i'm committed to doing everything in my power to keep this department on a correct path moving forward. >> reporter: yesterday he issued an apology and said he didn't fully understand the gravity of the crimes committed until recently. federal authorities began their review in february. they along with the state of mississippi were able to secure guilty pleas of all accused. >> not only did they brazenly commit these acts, but after inflicting serious bodily injury by firing a shot through one of the victims' mouths, they left him lying in a pool of blood. gathered on the porch of the house to discuss how to cover it up. what indifference. what disregard for life. >> reporter: a life that will never be the same for either of these two men. >> stand right here knowing what happened right here, justice without -- it all boil down to, just like them, whether
