>> i don't think -- i don't think we can get access to data that's protected by law but we can sit down with them -- >> but you're allowed to have a phony election? >> you're allowed to have a phony election? >> no, sir. >> so, that's the type of evidence that the judge, the federal judge hearing this argument section is going to be looking at, potentially as well as hearing from multiple witnesses including brad raffensperger who has been subpoenaed to his appearing to testify. so maybe a mini trial we could have some isn't ways. >> and we will learn the trial date for donald trump. special counsel jack smith is asking for it. and they're pushing after the election. floridians on the gulf coast should be vigilant, even currently outside the cone, indeed, you could see impacts if you are in a place outside the cone. please just heed the warnings of your local officials. don't watch the news. florida governor ron desantis warning people that he expects power outages when the hurricane comes ashore this week. tropical storm adalia -- sis tht how you say it -- is rapidly making land fall. and some counties have declared local states of emergency ahead of the storm. karen maginnis is monitoring this tropical storm for us. and she joins us live from the cnn weather center in atlanta. karen, i've experienced many of these florida hurricanes first hand. they can be extremely powerful. what can you tell us about the stage and where this may make landfall? >> it's exactly what you're saying, not so much right now, tropical storm intensity. it's sitting over the yucatan strait or the yucatan channel for quite some time. what i'm picking up over the last few hours is some deep convection that's materialized over that edge. this is kind of spinning around stationary. we'll get another update coming up in the next hour. but right now, the latest advisory from the national hurricane center brings 60 miles per hour, quasistationary. but look what happens over time. this is going to move up over the southeast of the gulf of mexico. and this is where floridians along the west coast of florida really have to watch out. storm surge, the number one killer, during hurricanes. also, there could be very much a lot of urban flooding. we could see some heavy downpours. we could see that storm surge, in some of the worst case areas, seven and 11 feet, depending on what happens at high tide. now, the computer models are fairly good agreement, there was an outlier a few hours ago. but now it looks like everybody is sort of bringing in this tropical system, probably at hurricane strength later on today right around that big bend area. tampa, still not going to be good for tampa, even though tampa for more than a hundred years has never seen a direct hit from a hurricane. now, just about a year ago, it was sanibel island, hurricane ian, category 5 hurricane, they are still recovering from that. i was there just a few months ago and it's sill devastating to look at that. so be prepared. that's the best advice right now. what are your evacuation routes? what will you do as far as medication? food, with children? they've already cancelled schools in several counties here. take a look at this, for tampa, they've upped the storm surge, 4 to 7 feet. but where you see the red, that's where it's going to be the strongest for right now. now, these commuter models could change. and if it wiggles a little bit more to the east by 50 or 75 miles it's going to be a different story. all right. precipitation, right along that big bend area from around st. george to the appalachia bay towards tampa, we're looking at 6, 8, 10 inches of rainfall. look at savannah, brunswick, charleston, going towards myrtle beach and heavy rainfall, a multiday event that we'll see coming up at the top of the hour. back to you, guys. >> karen maginnis, thank you so much. we'll keep a close eye on that along with the floridians of course. and heat alerts are also still in place along the u.s. south coast, new orleans saw 105 degrees breaking all-time records. the brutal heat is fuelling wildfires in southwest louisiana and leading to mandatory evacuations. >> the town of maryville, officials say strong winds are fanning the flames. 60,000 acres have burned so far. the national weather service says these are some of the worst fire conditions that louisiana has experienced in decades but fortunately no injuries have been reported so far. federal authorities have opened a civil rights investigation into saturday's racially motivated mass shooting. a 21-year-old fired outside of a dollar general store in jacksonville on saturday. they say he used racial slurs and drew swastikas on his ar-15 rifle and left behind multiple racist screens. >> we're doing so much to determine what exactly led to this, the manifesto is, quite frankly, the diary of a madman. he was -- i mean had was just completely irrational. but was it rational thoughts? he knew what he was doing, he was 100% lucid. he knew what he was doing. >> on sunday, the jacque community held a vigil for the three victims killed in the shooting. florida governor ron desantis condemned the violence. >> let me tell you this, you are not going to target hbcus in the state of florida and get away with it. we're going to hold you accountable. we're not going to let it happen. we thank what everybody has done, t.d., the mayor, and just know that the state of florida stands with the community. help is on the way. god bless you all. >> u.s. president joe biden released a statement saying in part even as we continue to search for answers we must say clearly and forcefully that white supremacy has no place in america, hate must have no safe harbor. >> a 15-year-old and 19-year-old and 29-year-old were all shot to death. >> one of galiam's family members described to cnn what kind of man he was. >> darryl was a fun loving young man. he was very active in my granddaughter's life from the time he and my daughter met. from the time she got pregnant he was very active in her life. she loved her daddy and her daddy loved her. >> what were his hobbies, such a young man? >> he could rap, play basketball. they played video games together. his favorite memory is when he took her to dave & buster's. it's hurtful because i thought racism was behind us and evidently it's not. that's what they're calling this, racism. he was a coward, you went in and shot at people for nothing, that you didn't even know. then you took your own life. that's just the cowardly way to go. outrage in india, after a video emerges showing a teacher urging her students to slap a muslim student. we'll head to new delhi for the details. . also three marines dead and others injured in australia. so far, the u.s. military is staying silent. we'll go live. plus, simone biles makes a streak as she secured the eighth all-around world title. alall of that straight ahead. don't let symptoms define yoyo. emerge as you.u. with tremfya®, most p people saw 90% clearer skin at 4 months... ...and the majority stayed clearer, at 5 y years. tremfya® is proven to significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness and swelling it's just 6 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. emerge as you. emerge tremfyant®. ask you doctor about tremfya®. with new scope squeez mouthwash concentrate, just add water. squeez to control the strength of your mouthwash. and find a zone all your own. ♪ ♪ scope squeez. ♪ donald trump is using his mug shot to drive up fundraising. his campaign has raised more than $7 million since that historic shot was taken in atlanta, gg. and the u.s. former president seems to be benefitting from his legal fronts in more ways than one. >> i don't think it's hurting him. he is raising money. he's also taking away all of the attention from his republican opponents at this point in the primary which is very early. but we just had a first date, and what we're hearing about more is the mug shot. and it helped to define him. meaning his entire character revolves around being a person fighting the establishment he's out to get him. so he's using this, or he's trying to use this to play into that narrative. it doesn't hurt him. whether that helps him, that, we will see, in the next few months. but it will be part of what the biden campaign wants to argue. this is who you will be putting into office. this is why it's dangerous not to elect the democratic candidate. but the question is, is there out rage -- is there any sense of shame, within the republican party, that causes them to agree to that, or causes voters to move to biden who are not already in that camp? and i think at this point in american history, that's an open question. and we just don't know if this -- this will have that impact. >> as trump deals with his legal troubles, other republican presidential candidates are focusing on the campaign trail. >> the fact is, i don't know if it's four or five or six or how many indictments it is now, but he's going to spend a lot of time in a courtroom and not on a campaign trail. and my concern is, we cannot have kamala harris has president. we can't chance this. >> former governor ron desantis left the campaign trail to race home. >> and while vivek ramaswamy slammed her for her comments. >> to look at you based on your skin color that i know something about the content of your character, that i know something about the viewpoint. for ayanna pressley to tell me because of my skin color i can't express my views, that is wrong. that is divisive. it's driving hate in this country. >> in 2019, pressly has said that the democrats don't need, quote, any more brown voices that don't want to be a brown voice. and quote, any more black faces that don't want to be a black voice. >> lloyd austin offered condolences to the families of three marines killed in australia. >> the u.s. and crews worked together to transport the injured to a remote island to a hospital center in darwin. the military says 23 marines were flying in an opposite pree when it crashed. and many of them were injured, five severely. >> let's go to angus watson standing by. you're not, frankly, getting much information on this, are you? >> reporter: well, max and bianca, to give you a sense of how remote this location is that the rescue effort and the now recovery effort has been taking place, it's some 50 miles off the coast of northern australia. the crash happened on a hillside in thick shrub land. a very sparsely populated area. so that has been hampering the recovery effort now for the three marines who were tragically killed in this accident sunday morning. that recovery effort may go in tuesday, according to local authorities here. the 20 survivors of the crash who came with injuries to darwin, have been treated, five of those marines are seriously injured. now, we don't know why this crash happened. we don't know how it happened. there's investigation that will take place, led by australian and u.s. officials into that. what we do know is that the opp osprey has had a track record of these deadly incidents. just last year in 2022, nine u.s. service personnel were killed in crashes related to these osprey aircraft, max and bianca. >> angus in sydney, thank you very much. after days, russia says it has concerns that yevgeny prigozhin was among those killed in the plane crash. russian tests condemn the identity of all of the victims. prigozhin who led an uprising against the kremlin had previously been named as one of those on board the plane which crashed north of moscow. in now, authorities have not confirmed that he is here. >> we're getting information from the russian authorities. >> that's what's important. remember, this is a russian-backed investigation carried out by russian investigators on russian soils. so the question mark is can they really do their job independently? can they do their job without interference? i think if you ask any western official, they'll probably tell you, no, we don't believe that they can. and that's why there's been so much finger pointing at the kremlin, at president putin himself, being involved in the crash. of course, the kremlin has denied, denied, denied this. any accusations of involvement in that plane crash is an absolute lie. but so brings the end of the speculation of who exactly was on board, yevgeny prigozhin, several of his top aides as well on that flight. they continue to look into the cause of the flight. but the other question mark what happens to the wagner group, the group that he led that was very much centered around his personhood, around this character. so how does it survive without him? it's difficult to imagine that it would. they've been taking steps before the death of prigozhin to absorb these mercenaries into the preg army. and president putin just a couple days ago now announcing yet another decree requiring all voluntary formations that was the term used for mercenary groups to pledge allegiance to the russian flag. to essentially fall under the russian ministry of defense. so you're seeing steps being taken here to make sure that this is consolidated, centered, all of these military forces under president putin himself, to avoid potentially something in the future something lar to this. the question is what happens in the battlefield in ukraine. can russia's ministry of defense that had been highly criticized for its performance, for its lack of manpower, for its lack of weaponry, can it on its own, without the support of independent contractors like yevgeny prigozhin carrying out what is needed. >> salma, thank you so much. as the u.s. takes another stab at repairing its rocky relationships with china with meetings in beijing to discuss trade and economies. we'll have a live report from hong kong just ahead. and america's epidemic of gun violence, it's growing so out of control that people are changing the way that they live their lives. goli, taste your goals. ♪ welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm bianca nobilo. >> i'm max foster. if you're just joining us, let me bring you up to date with our top stories at this hour. the atlanta prosecuting donald trump and the 18 defendants in the georgia election case will present a case to the judge later today. fani willis is expected to present some evidence, as well as offer witness testimony. and tropical storm idalia is making its way towards the state of florida where it could become a hurricane by tuesday. governor ron desantis is warning residents to be gilant about data on the storm's path. gun violence left its tragic mark on communities in america over the weekend. mass shootings in the u.s. are climbing, and already the nation is on track to mark one of its deadliest years. cnn's polo sandoval reports. >> it was another weekend of violence in america. extending just beyond the state of florida on saturday night. police in louisville, kentucky investigated a shooting that left seven people injured, at least two people dead. a shooting at a restaurant. investigators are still looking into what led to that. on saturday, i covered a shooting at boston's caribbean carnival. the shooting not linked to the event by authorities but the parade had to be stopped because of the cope of the investigation. no deaths reported but several injured there. sadly, one person did lose their life following a stuhooting at high school football game. the victim just 16 years old. and not a student facing off on the field and guns and several rounds have been uncovered. the investigation is still ongoing, police believe it was a conflict with individuals, an argument that led to this particular incident. and two baseball fans injured during the chicago white sox game, it's unclear where the shots came are from, inside or outside the ballpark. two people sustained life threatening injuries there. we're going down the tlous remind viewers just the far-reaching impact of gun violence and how it's affected many aspects of life for americans. folks at a store. folks enjoying a sporting event. and it is changing the way some americans are living their lives. that's according to research conducted by kff, a health policy organization, that shows 1 in 3 adults surveyed said they recently have avoided large crowds, places like crowded bars, music festivals, saying their concern is a potential for gun violence to break out. and yet another sobering statistic, in july, the u.s. surpassed 400 mass shootings for the year. we haven't seen such a staggering number so early in the year, since 2013, since the gun violence archives started compiling the statistics. just perspective here in 2019, it took 356 days to reach that 400 mark. but here we are, still several more months left to go in 2023, and we've already surpassed that 400 number. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. and the u.s. secretary says it's informed that a relationship, gina raimondo made those remarks. >> her visit come ased by heightened tensions between china and the u.s. as china faces mounting economical problems ranging from real estate crisis to slumping exports. cnn's kristie lu stout joins us live from hong kong. in both of america and china's economic interests to have an on tim mall trading relationship here. there were warm words exchanged about wanting to create a better environment. but nothing really tang only as an outcome? >> nothing tangible just yet. and you know, biden administration officials have gone out of their way to say don't expect any big breakthroughs from this. but this is critical to just keep the relationship and the trade relationship between these two superpowers stable. you know, the u.s. commerce secretary is in china for a four-day visit. she arrived in beijing on sunday. earlier today in beijing she met with her chinese the counterpar. she pointed out that, look, these two countries share more than $700 billion a year in annual trade but she also added that the u.s. would not compromise on matters related to national security. which was also the message we heard earlier in july when janet yellen, the u.s. treasury secretary, visited beijing. on the chinese side, we heard from the secretary, quote, i'm ready to work with you to foster a more favorable policy environment for strong relationship between our businesses to bolster bilateral trade and investment in a stable and predictable manner. now, this visit comes at a time of deep economic times with china because china is dealing with deepening exports. it's dealing with an ongoing property crisis. it's dealing with sky high unemployment data. data deemed so bad that the government has suspended releasing that data. raimondo, in beijing, she also travelled to shanghai, her visit with other senior visits as the u.s. tries to stabilize the relationship because tensions have flared. not only over geopolitical issues, but also over trade, over target sanctions, over access to sensitive technology like chips and over ways of u.s. consultants operating in china. we heard from the chinese department, the ministry, it praised the decision to lift export control measures on entities. china says that measure paves the way to more normal trade. back to bianca and max. >> kristie lu stout in hong kong. now with summer winding down in the u.s. the temperature isn't expected to cool down. the confidence index is due out on tuesday, to slow down the u.s. economy's main engine, a softening economy this year is widely expected but there's still hope that the u.s. could avoid a recession. and ahead of that consumer report, these are the futures, also with the u.s./china meeting. they're looking pretty positive for the start of the week. u.n. secretary-general antonio guterres says he's concerned about reports of voter intimidation and suspicious arrests in zimbabwe's recent elections. >> it says the incumbent emmer m emmerson led with marred and delayed ballots and intimidation and led to violence, arrests and corruption. >> david mckenzie joins us live. questions have been raised by observers, a lot of concerns about potential rigging, a climate of fear and so on. what happens now?
