welcome everyone. you're on the cnn newsroom. >> i'm omar jimenez in washington in just two weeks, cnn will host the first presidential debate. >> there it is. i was looking for this guy right here, 12 days to weeks. boom, first presidential debate of this election season between president joe biden and former president donald trump. and this weekend the candidates are out on the campaign trail after spending the week on the world stage at the g7 summit, president biden is trading world leaders for hollywood leaders biden is in los angeles tonight at a fundraiser that is breaking a new record for the democratic party when have more on that in a moment, but tickets range from 250 to $500,000 with a contest for small dollar donors, they could when tickets to the event and a chance to meet president biden, former president obama, and oscar winners, julia roberts and george clooney, jimmy kimmel will moderate a q&a with biden and obama tonight. cnn white house correspondent arlette saenz joins us. now, arlette, a big hall for the campaign even before the event starts. but obviously that's not the only thing that they're focused on with the debate. not so far away at this point. >> yeah, that's right, omar. but tonight, biden campaign officials are saying that this will be the biggest democratic fundraiser in history. the president heading into the 90s has already raised 28 million. really tapping into some help from celebrity friends like george clooney and julia roberts as well. well as his former boss, former president barack obama, uh, to try to entice people to buy tickets to this event. now, the campaign has been working, trying to engage celebrities in different ways to try to help mobilize voters. and whether it's fundraising or to get out to the polls in november. but this is also coming at a time when biden's trying to maintain in his cash advantage over former president donald trump. biden has led trump in fundraising through most of the year, but recently trump has really made some significant gains in his own fundraising operation, especially after securing his party's nomination. now, tonight's event is really modeled after an event that the biden campaign did back in march march in new york city, when biden appeared with obama, as well as former president bill clinton, that events right, raked in $26 million. tonight's events will eclipse that. they've been trying to draw in those high dollar donors, but also making those appeals to small-dollar donors as well. there was a contest, as you mentioned to come to this fundraiser to meet the two presidents and these hollywood stars the campaign's also offered another opportunity for people to donate about $20 and have a chance to tune in virtually so the biden campaign is really a pouring a lot of focus and energy into this fundraiser tonight, as they're hoping to post a very big hall, but also so as campaign officials argue, they believe that this will also be a show of force from the entertainment industry in its support for biden yeah and on top of that, again, expected to be or as we've already seen, record breaking in terms of raising money for the democratic party. we are just two weeks out to that first debate. how is the president balancing? of course, the campaigning with also preparing for the debate itself well, president biden has spent most of the last two weeks on the world stage meeting with world leaders in both france and italy. >> but now that he's back here at home, his debate preparations will start to intensify. his advisers have said he hasn't had as much time to prepare, though he has gotten started a bit, but those it tends preparations are really expected to take place in the final days leading into june 27, president is expected to spend some time at camp david huddling with his advisers. their charting the best way to take on donald trump on the debate stage. and today's cnn actually announced some of the details for how this debate will work, that both biden and trump's campaigns have agreed to. this will be a 90 minute debate with two commercial breaks. the candidates will not be allowed to interact with their campaign staff during those breaks, the two men will be standing at podiums and an important note is that the microphones will be muted when they are not speaking. that was something that biden's campaign had actually proposed when they suggested having these debates much earlier in the debates season. of course, this will be round three for president biden and former president trump as they faced off two times back in the 2020 race. and so all eyes for the biden campaign for the trump campaign going forward two will really be honing in on this debate to trying to make sure that they put have a strong showing heading into really the first major seen for voters to see biden and trump face off face-to-face. >> and without a crowd. >> and so it so really just be both of them and that they're hoping to get some substantive answers from both of them over the course of that, arlette saenz really appreciate the reporting. thank you. meanwhile, former president donald trump is in the key swing state of michigan today, earlier, he held a community roundtable and a detroit church as he tries to raise, support them on black voters. and he just took the stage at a conservative conference with a few possible vice presidential candidates, cnn correspondent, even mechan is in detroit now, what can you tell us about some of his efforts today? >> the former president, just beginning his remarks here at the turning point, action convention. when he started his michigan swing at a predominantly black church, a appealing to voters, they're republicans, are confident that they can make inroads with these faith-based voters. selection cyclone, of course it wouldn't take much for them to chip away from democrats in order to have some real impact, would here at this event, turning point action just such a key strategic partner for the president that is because these these are the die-hard i see people here proudly wearing shirts with trump's mug shot on it. >> there are people here holding up signs with trump's mug shot that saying never surrender. >> and the organization itself is planning to spend over $100 on get out the vote efforts. >> not only here in michigan, but in battleground states we talked rocks, the counter. so this is coalition that he has to inspire omar if he is going to if he's going to sail to victory in november we'll continue to monitor everything going on there. even mackenzie appreciate the reporting. appreciate it. thank you all right. >> breaking news out of gaza tonight, hamas says strikes against israel quotes, will continue after what is being described as an incident. in southern gaza left eight soldiers dead, making it one of the single deadliest events involving israeli troops since the october 7 attacks. now earlier the militant wing of hamas claimed it carried out a complex ambush against enemy vehicles, but israel has not said whether the group was responsible for the incidents. cnn's oren liebermann is in haifa for us. oren the idf, as we've been talking about this, this afternoon, here, just released some preliminary findings from their investigation. what sticks out to you so first, the caution that this incident is still under investigation. >> it's clear they're trying to figure out exactly what happened here and it happened very early this morning at about 5:15 in tarlow sultan, which is in northwest rafah. that's where the idf has been operating as they have pushed through the southern gaza city, that for so long hunger for the past few months here has been a refuge for so many who have now had to flee as the idf has moved in, the idf says at 515 this morning and armored personnel carrier with eight soldiers effectively exploded as a result of a sidebar. now it's not clear at this point if that bomb was attached in some way or fixed to the vehicle, or if it was a missile or projectile fired at the view the gold, but the armored personnel carrier itself had explosives already on board. that were part of its use as a combat engineering battalion and that's when the idf says those explosives detonated either as a result of that sidebar or for some other reason. and that in and of itself is a problem because they are supposed to withstand any force that would cause them to explode. still, the idf says it resulted in what they call a significant explosion, making it difficult not only to locate remains of the aid soldiers, but also parts of the vehicle itself that had exploded. so that part from the idf side is still under investigation. the al qassam brigades it is the military wing of hamas, say they laid what they call a complex trap attacking first, a military bulldozer. and then when a rescuer extraction unit came, they say then fired a missile at that armored vehicle and caused it to explode at the same time as this is happening. the rafah's civil defense unit says but there was significant artillery and airstrikes in this part of gaza since early this morning. so it's possible they're describing the exact same incident here all under investigation. meanwhile, hamas says they will continue strikes on israeli forces in gaza and of course that's is dynamic. >> we're going to continue to keep an eye out for as for this moment, we're still learning again, some of those preliminary details. we've also been following some of the demonstrations that we've been seeing in tel aviv for one that's where a lot of the images we've been following have been coming out of, but certainly not the only place but demonstrations that that did not come out of nowhere tonight. he just generally, what are the protesters demanding and why has this remains such a persistent and consistent dynamic over recent months? >> so generally there are two parts of this protest. one is calling for a hostage deal and calling for the hostages to be brought home as quickly as possible, then there's an anti-government protests, very often these effectively merged into one larger protest. and you see the force of that tens of thousands easily by the pictures in the images we have seen coming out in tel aviv. you're right to point out these are not only in tel aviv, there were protests in jerusalem against the government and in many other places, protesters that are angry, frustrated, and frankly furious with the government of prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his far-right coalition partners effectively trying to make their voices heard and seen. there was bonfires, some bonfires as part of the protests. that was one of the most stunning images according to police, there was at least one arrest for starting those bonfires. you see the force and frankly, you see the fury in these week after week for a tremendous amount of time, the longevity here is just a stunning as side highs of the protests. yes, they took a break after october 7 and became part of trying to help the the military and the country in that time. but you now see them returning and i suspect it will be here week after week calling on the government to resign as they are furious with house, it has government has handled not only the war to this point but the negotiations about a hostage deal. and the country in general as the war drags on nearing its, its nine month mark now, yeah, a lot of dynamics being expressed by some of the folks that we've seen in the street to this point, oren liebermann really appreciate that the reporting is always coming up cnn has an exclusive look inside russian warships. now docked in cuba, russia making a show of force
