viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm lynda kinkade. welcome to "cnn newsroom." coming up -- >> we call it a sham indictment. the man who's doing it, we really believe he's mentally ill. >> donald trump continuing his pattern of stunning public statements on his indictment a day after running into legal trouble for comments he posted online. coup leaders in niger face an ultimatum. reinstate the president today or face potential military intervention. we'll have a live report from the region. and we're an hour away from the u.s. facing off against sweden in the women's world cup and the excitement is building. we'll take you live to a world cup watch party in new york city. a new deadline and a new legal ruling in the latest indictment of donald trump. the federal judge overseeing trump's election fraud case has responded to a court filing from special counsel jack smith last night. smith wants the protective order after trump posted this. quote, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. smith wants the judge to stop trump and his legal team from publicly discussing sensitive evidence. and the judge has now given the trump team until 5:00 p.m. monday to respond. well, despite all of these legal battles, the former president is slamming the special counsel at campaign rallies. most recently, in the early primary state of south carolina. >> and by the way, virtually every poll, we're kicking biden's ass. and that's the problem. that's the problem! and if i wasn't, if i wasn't, we wouldn't under investigation by deranged jack smith. he's a deranged human being. you take a look at that face, you say, that guy is a sick man. there's something wrong with him. >> well, cnn's alayna treene was at that south carolina event and filed this report. >> the former president spent much his saturday night speech railing against the recent charges that he faces, as well as attacking special counsel jack smith directly. donald trump called him, quote, mentally ill, as well as deranged. now, the former president also made an appeal to republican lawmakakak capitol hill. he argued that they needed to step up and do something in order to help defend him against his recent legal matters. but one big thing that i find to be different from his speech on saturday is that it came less than 24 hours after jack smith wrote in a court filing, asking a judge to set limits on what trump's team can do with the evidence shared in the election subversion case. now, the judge ultimately ruled on saturday that donald trump's team must respond to that proposal by monday afternoon. but there were a lot of questions going into saturday night, whether donald trump's team would encourage him to change his rhetoric in light of that court filing. but clearly, he did not. alayna treene, cnn, columbia, south carolina. well, as we mentioned, trump's attorneys have until 5:00 p.m. monday to respond to the special counsel's request for strict controls over sensitive evidence into the election meddling case. earlier, cnn spoke with former trump white house lawyer, james schultz about why prosecutors felt compelled to make this filing. >> he opened up the door for this type of motion by jack smith with that comment. and no surprise that they made that motion and that the judge will take it seriously and get a hearing right away. which she's going to be vb ery thoughtful about this. she'll have to balance the former president's right of the first amendment against witness testimonies, witness interviews, those things will be protected, because the judge will take seriously the need to protect the witnesses from threats, intimidation, and those types of things that could be incited from that speech. but she's going to have to strike that balance and i think she'll be thoughtful about it. and it's something the trump legal team will have to deal with throughout this campaign, because there will be limitations on what the former president can say as it relates to this case and information he actually receives from this case and how he can use it publicly. yes it, opened up the door and certainly justified the -- gave the prosecution the ability to justifiably go to court on. >> well, trump is also taking aim at his former vice president, mike pence, unleashing his most blistering attack yet. pence, who was also seeking the white house, has repeatedly criticized trump over the january 6th insurrection, though he says he's not convinced trump's actions were criminal. but as we've seen, trump does not take well to any criticism. in a social media post saturday, trump lashed out in some of his sharpest language yet, referring to little mike pence, calling him, delusional and not a very good person. well, another of trump's many republican rooifls for the presidential nomination wrapped up his second day in iowa. on saturday, ron desantis attorneyed the attorney general's big barn bash, mingling with iowans, eating fried chicken, and making his pitch to voters. >> a leader has to put the jobs of the people he represents ahead of protecting his own political hide. that is what you're -- it doesn't matter what the politics is. the time for excuses for republicans is over. we must get the job done now. with god's help, i will get the job done. and i promise you this, i won't let you down. >> well, 5:38's poll of polls shows that desantis is trailing trumply nearly 40 points nationally. but a recent "new york times"/siena poll of iowa voters shows trump's support below the national average, while support for desantis is slightly higher. well, even more dangerous record-breaking heat is expected in the coming days from california to florida. right now, more than 60 million people are under heat alerts across the south and southwest. heat indices could top 115 degrees in some part. across much of oklahoma, louisiana, and mississippi, high temperatures call range from 100 to 108 degrees. that's 5 to 10 degrees above normal. the temperatures will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal throughout southwest texas and parts of arizona. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar breaks it all down for us. >> more than 100 records are expected to be broken, all the way through monday of the upcoming week. and this stretches from arizona all the way over into florida. keep in mind, some of these cities could end up breaking records two, even three days in a row. looking at the actual temperatures for sunday, we will top out at 107 degrees in dallas, 105 in san antonio, 101 in jackson, mississippi. even tallahassee topping out at 97 degrees. and that doesn't even take into account the humidity that's going to be factored in. the problem is in the long-term forecast, that heat stays in place across the southern tier of the u.s., so there's not really much relief in sight for a lot of these cities, including phoenix, which is expected to stay well above their average of 106 for at least the next seven days. the only cities that are likely to see some relief are the ones that are getting rain showers. and that's really going to be focused across the midwest, spreading into the mid-atlantic region over the next 24 to 48 hours. the problem is it's not just some summer rain showers. you're also looking at the potential for some severe storms. the main concerns for al of these cities are going to be damaging winds, large hail, but flooding is also going to be a concern, especially for hard-hit states like kentucky and tennessee, which have seen a tremendous amount of rain in the last 48 hours. now we're adding more rain on top of that. areas like cincinnati, nashville, st. louis, even stretching down to atlanta all have the potential more those severe storms on sunday. the forecast rainfall for a lot of these areas, you're mostly looking at 2 to 4 inches. but remember, this is compounded on top of whatever any of these communities have had in the last two to three days, now we'll be adding on top of that as well. >> thank you for that report. well, ukraine says its air defenses fought off a russian attack overnight. kyiv seize russia launched two waves of strikes, one saturday night, the other sunday morning. ukraine shot down all 26 drones used in those attacks and a majority of the 40 cruise missiles. well, kyiv says a russian-guided bomb hit a blood transfusion center in the city saturday, setting it ablaze. president zelenskyy says there are dead and wounded, but no numbers yet. russia says captured this village in the make luhansk region on saturday. we're now joined by nada bashir. let's start with that knew that russia has launched this wave of attacks across ukraine. fortunately, according to ukraine, most were shot down. >> yeah, that is news coming in now from ukraine's air force demand. they have said that their air defense systems were able to intercept or down the majority of these drones and missiles that were used last time in those attacks. according to that air force, 70 areal attack weapons were used in total by the russian armgd forces, launched from both sea and air. we saw that first wave last night. several missiles. dozens of cruise missiles launched towards ukrainian territory, followed by a second wave of iranian-made attack drones being used against ukrainian territory. all of those intercepted or downed by the ukrainian air defense systems. one of the key targets, according to ukraine's air force command was a strategic air base in western ukraine. and explosions were reportedly heard in the vicinity of this base, with damage to residential buildings so far reported. >> and talk to us a little bit more about this attack on the blood transfusion center, which of course is just a few dozen kilometers from russia's border. president zelenskyy called the perpetrators beasts. what can you tell us about that attack and the fishaftermath? >> over the last few days, we have seen the targeting of the kharkiv region really intensify. and this is just one of those attacks we have seen over the last few days. as you mentioned, president zelenskyy saying that a russian-guided areal bomb was used by the russian armed forces targeting this blood transfusion center, setting it ablaze. and sadly, fatalities have been confirmed amongst the wounded. we have seen intense air strikes and shelling across the kharkiv region in recent days, particularly along the luhansk/kharkiv border, which has been a key front line for some time. but sof course, we are seeing fighting further afield in the occupied donetsk region. russia has accused ukraine of its own attacks. it says 48 attacks were reported over the last 24 hours, and in particular one attack targeting a university in the donetsk region. they claim that ukraine used cluster munitions to target the university, igniting it into flames. however, they say, according to russian state media, citing emergency services on the ground, nobody was present in the building at the time. and cnn hasn't been able to independently verify the use of cluster munitions. but the intense fighting, the clashes, the use of munitions and firearms across these front line areas, it's really intensified over the last few days and heard from the ukrainian armed forces, this is part of their continued persistent efforts as part of that counteroffensive. >> we'll leave it there for now. nada bashir staying across those developments for us from london. thanks so much. >> russia is showing more videos of its defense minister taking a look at troops in ukraine. he met with commanders and handed out metals more bravery to various soldiers. shoygu and russia's top general have stepped up their visits to the front line in recent days. they both were berated for alleged incompetence by wagner leader yevgeny prigozhin, who staged a short-lived immunity in late june. the ukrainian postal service has issued a new stamp that calls on western allies to provide the country with fighter jets. the design shows a kremlin tower at the mercy of a cheese grater. its holes are shaped like a u.s. f-16 fighter jets. according to the post office, the stamp is intended to stress the urgent need for the jets from western allies in order to defense against russian attacks. hundreds of people lined up to buy the stamp and the matching envelope in the capital on friday. the post office says proceeds from the stamp will be used to send drones to ukrainian forces. well, still ahead on cnn museroom, uncertainty in niger as coup leaders face a deadline to give up power. is military intervention likely, or can diplomacy still prevail. and a social media infl influencer facing charges for inciting a riot after he lured his followers to a free giveaway that went terribly w wrong. when moderate to severe ululcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see sults fast, rinvoq

celebrating holy mass for world youth day in lisbon, portugal. the pontiff is wrapping up a five-day visit there. more than a million of the catholic faithful greeted him during this trip. the 86-year-old kept up a pretty busy schedule. later today, he'll be meeting with world youth day volunteers before he attends a farewell ceremony at the airport. pope francis will then head back to rome aboard the papal plane, which is often dubbed shepherd one. today is the deadline niger's coup leaders were given to reinstate the country's ousted president. a block of west african nations set that deadline and drafted a plan for potential military intervention if that demand was not met. france says it firmly supports the group's effort, while nigeria is rejecting the notion of any military action. madowo . if the coup leaders don't adhere to that ultimatum set by the neighboring countries, what could happen? >> the coup leaders are unlikely to step down and reinstate president bazoum, which means that they should go ahead and military intervene like you mentioned. this is why they've boxed themselves in with this decision. if they do send in their armies, that sets off a protracted conflict they don't want to get involved with. if they don't do anything, that's an empty threat, and that's something that tells future coups that you can carry out a coup d'etat and nothing happen. on the other hand, president bazoum expects to be rescued from this situation. i want to read a section where he says, i'm not out of ne. i call on the u.s. governmt community to help us restore our constitutional order. fighting for our sred values, including democratic polarism and respect for the rule of law is the only wato make sure sustainable progress against poverty and terrorism. and president bazoum said the nigerian people will never forget your support at this pivotal moment in our history. so we're waiting to hear from today if the economic community of west african states will go ahead and militarily convene, or find some other way to extend the deadline here, linda. >> and of course, larry, niger is a former french colony. the coup leaders have suspended french-funded international news outlets. they've also evacuated several military agreements. but niger is far from the first french colony where the army has seized control, right? >> no, it is not. there have been seven coups in this region since 2020. and all of them in former french colonies. in chad, in bu aa kina faso, in mali. and that has given some backing for the junta that have taken over. the bukina faso military said that was be tantamount to an act of war. even though the prime minister of niger says he doesn't think that's a possibility. >> we don't have the malian military, we have jihadist dp groups. so to get to niger, they have to cross the jihadist groups they have spent years fighting. so that's an empty threat. we don't see how they could intervene in niger. >> even if the mali or bukanabi armies don't, they have banded together against the french, mali invited the wagner group from russia to have them fight the jihadist threat after they expelled french troops there. and niger appears to be heading that very direction. one of the first places that the military junta went to after they deposed president bazoum was to mali to try and work out some kind of security cooperation, linda? >> seeing this time and time again. larry madowa, thanks for being with us. a group of protesters have swepd through tel aviv on saturday. large demonstrations like this have taken place every weekend since january. and sometimes more often. journalist eliot gotkin was there and filed this report. >> reporter: israel's parliament, the knesset may be on its long summer reset. we may be in the midst of summer holidays. but there is still no letup against the government's judicial overhaul. more than eight months in, there are still tens of thousands if not more people on the streets protesting against this judicial overhaul, which these protesters say will irreparably damage israeli democracy. and there will be no letup until the government either reaches a compromise or until it backs down. eliot gotkin, cnn, tel aviv. >> just hours earlier, downtown tel aviv was rocked by a fatal shooting incident. israeli police say a police officer was on patrol in a financial district and was shot by a palestinian gunman. the gunman was then shot and killed by another officer. the u.s. state department has condemned the incident calling it a terror attack. in pakistan, several supporters of imran khan was arrested during a protest after he was convicted of corruption and jailed saturday. the former prime minister faces three years in prison and is being disqualified from holding future office. >> reporter: this is imran khan's second arrest of the year, and this disqualification comes after the election commission of pakistan disqualified imran khan back in october. and now this has happened in a court of law where he's been found guilty of the misdeclaration of assets. it goes pack to when imran khan was the prime minister here in pakistan and he was given state gifts, which he allegedly sold for person gain and did not declare the sale of those gifts. now, khan is currently in police custody. when he was arrested back in may, there was an incredible amount of protests across the country. we have not seen the same sort of reaction here in pakistan today. there has been an immense crackdown on imran khan supporters, which has been criticized by human rights groups, but again, we're still waiting to see how this situation will unfold. imran khan's party has filed an appeal to the supreme court, but it's a sunday, so we're not expecting much movement on that front. pakistan's information minister has come out and said that this entire situation regarding khan's arrest and his charge of being guilty by the court is not politically motivated, but we have to realize that in pakistan's history, at least in the past 16 years, the majority of prime ministers who have been removed from office, not a single prime minister has completed his spire term. and we're still waiting to see how this unfolds, whether the protesters are going to come out, whether this already tumultuous election year in pakistan is going to get more intense. sophie sefi, cnn, islamabad. there is much more to come on cnn, including a look at the u.s. strategy to fight fentanyl traffickers, by monitoring the digital networks and digital

of a giveaway, including playstations and computers. dozens of people were arrested, while many police officers were injured. cnn's polo sandoval reports. >> new york city officials investigating yesterday's incident quickly spiralled into an out-of-control mob was as initially the nypd says hundreds of young of people which later turned out to be thousands of them were drawn here my a popular social media influencer with promises of free video games and other free items. over the weekend, though, the cleanup does continue with power washing crews trying to remove some of the plaint splattering you see. that mob tore down that temporary fencing at a construction site, some of the materials, some of the equipment at the site used during the incident. we understand three officers and four civilians were hurt. about half of the roughly 65 people who were arrested are juveniles. on saturday, we heard from new york city mayor eric adams, as he offered new information on what may have led to friday's -- led to friday afternoon's incident, and also addressed the police response. >> we believe that there were some outsider influencers that may have attempted to aggravate the situation. and i can't say enough about the police department yesterday. i don't think people realize the level of discipline that was showed to take a very dangerous, volatile situation, and to be able to bring it to a level of resolve without any loss of life, any substantial damage to property. and without young people harming themselves. >> as for the social media influencer at the center of it all, he's expected to return to court on august 18th after being charged with inciting a riot and unlawful assembly. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. >> well, new york city police have charged a 17-year-old with a hate crime in the stabbing death of a professional dancer, oshay sibling. the 28-year-old professional dancer was attacked at a brooklyn gas station after dancing to a beyonce song. the nypd announced the charges at a news conference saturday. >> the suspect is identified as a male, 17 years of age. he resides in brooklyn and attends a nearby high school. members of the nypd fugitive enforcement unit and the u.s. marshals regional fugitive task force were assigned with the task of locating and apprehending this individual. their efforts to led to his apprehension yesterday. he has been charged with murder 2 and that is being chandrged aa hate crime and possession of a weapon. >> it's not clear if the teenage suspect will be charged as an adult. the u.s. government is stepping up efforts to crack down on some of the most dangerous mexican drug cartels, by tracing cryptocurrency payments. the digital currency is widely used among fentanyl traffickers, as well as chinese chemical compans. cnn's cybersecurity reporter sean lin gast explains. >> the drug war has gone virtual. mexican cartels are increasingly using cryptocurrency to pay for fentanyl ingredients and smuggle them into the u.s. as part of the deadly drug trade. how is the biden administration responding. there's an ongoing surge involving multiple agencies where they're furiously trying to trace the source of this funding and intercept the funds where they can. the dea has told cnn they have identified senior money launders within the cartels that specialize in cryptocurrency. the irs has some of its best agents trying to infiltrate dark web forums, where the drugs are bought. it's very much an ongoing process and progress couldn't come soon enough, as tens of thousands of americans die from drug overdoses every year, much of it from fentanyl. i'm sean lingas in washington. after the praek, rebuilding from the rubble. we'll introduce you to a turkish family working to

"oppenheimer" is packing theaters and getting rave reviews in the u.s., but some critics say something is missing. the film focuses on the scientist's own inner anguish after the bombings and doesn't delve into the horrific consequences in hiroshima and nagasaki, but those memories are still palpable in japan. in hiroshima, an estimated 140,000 people died, either directly or indirectly from the blast. a second atomic bomb dropped on nagasaki killed up to 80,000 people. and out of respect for them, some people say they don't want to see the movie, even though it's not being released in japan yet. >> translator: there's still victims and bereaved families around, so i think it's possible for the film not to be shown out of consideration for those people's feelings. >> others say they're curious about it. >> i definitely want to see it. i'm really interested in what kind of things are included from the american point of view. >> reporter: but beyond the film itself, it's the buzz over "oppenheimer" and another hit summer movie "barbie" that's causing a lot of anger in japan. the films were released on the same day in much of the world and fans created memes under the hashtag "barbenheimer", but some have shown images that many japanese show offensive like pink mushroom clouds. even the warner brothers film group, which is owned by cnn's parent company, apologized over what it described as insensitive social media engagement. so far, there is no scheduled release date for oppenheimer in japan, but some people believe it is important to see it, as it's part of the country's history and better for younger generations to learn about it and never forget the horrors of nuclear war. >> translator: 78 years went by and people are starting to forget, so it's a good moment to make a movie and remind us about what happened. i think that's good. >> michael holmes, cnn. well, still ahead on "cnn newsroom," team usa faced a big test in their third quest for a third-straight world cup title. we'll have a preview of their highly anticipated match against sweden, when we come back. having triplets is... -amazing -expensive. so, we switched to the bargain detergent, but we ended up using three times as much and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're bacack with tide, and the clothehes are clean again. do 3x the laundrdry and get a tide clean. it's got to be tide. when you find your reason to go on, let it pull you past the doubt. past the pain, and past your limits. no matter what, we go on. biofreeze - [announcer] do you have an invention idea but don't know what to do next?

>> they certainly can. you know, the question is, will they? sweden is a very physically imposing side. they are brilliant out of set pieces. and both of these teams are really similar. they both have forwards that can make things happen. they both have very dynamic midfielders. the united states is making some changes in terms of that are formation. they have a couple of key players that are sidelined, but this is really a momentum nor the young women on the united states roster to step up. i want to play for you a little bit of a the united states women had to say ahead of this meeting. >> what's happened against sweden in the past is in the past. we obviously take away a lot of things in terms of their playing style and how to break them down, but i don't think that there's any -- i don't think there's any feelings towards the games that we've played them in the past, bringing into this game tomorrow. >> we want to below every team out, five goals. who doesn't want to do that, right? but those results are gone. i mean, they're not going to happen, for everybody that wants to see more, we promise that we're going to do everything we can, and we're preparing ourselves as best as we can, to provide success to meet the expectations for everyone. >> and lynda, the u.s. women have tried to remain somewhat insulated over the course of the tournament, maybe not paying as much attention to what's happening outside of that bubble, but they know what's at stake. they know how talented of a side sweden is. they know the expectations and pressures are there. now it's time to step into that moment and we will see if they will in just a couple of minutes. >> many people so at home around the country, tuning and cheering them on. carolyn manno, good to have you there at the legends sports bar in midtown, manhattan. we'll check in with you next hour after the game gets underway. after two years away from competition, seven-time olympic medalist simone biles triumphantly returned saturday and just like that, she won. at the core hydration classic outside chicago, the 26-year-old u.s. star won the all-around and the floor routine and the balance beam. and placed third on the uneven bars. as the sellout crowd cheered her on. cnn's isabella rosales reports. >> we're just under one year away from opening ceremony of the 2024 paris olympics. time flies here and seven-time olympic medalist simone biles is back. the excitement, not just from the fans, but from fellow athletes is tangible here at now arena. certainly, her little girl screaming all day long here, just waiting, weight on simone. and folks are so excited. in fact, that they sold out every single seat. 7,200 of them. all of them here to witness the greatest of all time back in action. and this meet is so important, because it is the last chance to qualify for the u.s. nationals in san jose, and then later on in the fall, for the world championships. and all of that leading, of course, to the olympics. biles has been registered for all four events, a people keeping a close eye on how she does after this two-year hiatus. and that's the last time we saw simone biles compete in tokyo, where she shocked the world withdrawing from all of her events after suffering from the twisties. a spatial and mental block that gymnasts can suffer from where they can't tell what's up and what's down when they're flipping in midair. certainly problematic for an elite gymnast. she after the tokyo games disappeared from competitive gymnastic. now so many people are excited to see her back. >> and what does your shirt say? >> simone freaking biles! >> the courage and the role model to come out and say, no, my mental health is more important, physical health is more important. because she could have got paralyzed, let's be honest, i was so proud of her. >> when you heard that simone was can go back to the world of gymnastics, oh, my gosh, what did you think? >> when we heard simone was coming back, she started screaming and went crazy, she's like, mom! please get tickets! please, please, please, get tickets! >> and cnn spoke with joan ryan, she is an author and also a sports analyst. and she says that simone, competing again is proof that there's a positive change in the world of gymnastics that this whole idea that you have to be a pre-pubescent teen to exceed at this level, that is just not reality. biles, 26 years old, recently married, and now getting back on the mat again. isabel rosales, cnn, hoffman estates, illinois. well, finally, a gift that grew out of an enduring love. a kansas farmer wasn't content to give his wife of 50 years a bouquet of flowers. he came up with something much more elaborate. have a look. >> fields of gold, as far as the eye can see, sun flowers. farmer lee wilson in kansas says he was looking for a grand gesture to express his feelings for his wife of 50 years. but for this anniversary, a bouquet of roses just would not cut it. >> we're celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary august 10th. and what's a guy get his gal on their 50th?
