v0 to three-to-one, three-to-one. today the winds are probably going to be the biggest factor in battling this blaze. >> we saw the smoke coming up, but it wasn't that bad yet. eventually, the sheriff was just like, you guys gotta go to the fire to move quickly. >> the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees, two more, two molar, the black population wants law enforcement more than any other population the team men who comprise israel's war cabinet, which managers this war against hamas, seemingly being unaware that this tactical pause was something that was going to happen live from london this psc, cnn news room with max foster hello, a warm welcome to our viewers joining us from around the world. >> i max foster. it's monday, june the 17th, 9:00 a.m. here in london. one a.m. in california, where a massive fire is burning in los angeles county the post fire has scorched more than 14,000 acres. that's nearly 6,000 hectares authority say it's only 2% contains so far with high wind gusts and very dry air make it difficult for firefighters to contain it. the national weather service is warning these conditions could potentially fuel the flames and a red flag warning is in place until this afternoon. the wildfire, which began on saturday as forced hundreds of people to evacuate the area authority say the cause of the blaze is under investigation, sin as camilla banal has been following the developments and has more from california firefighters are working around the clock to try to gain containment on this fire. so what you're seeing here behind me at the moment is actually a controlled burn. what firefighters on the ground are trying to do is keep the flames from spreading to areas where you're seeing that green vegetation and so they are working here on the ground and also communicating with pilots in the air to then come and do water drops. we've seen consistent water drops throughout the day and firefighters saying that this is actually a very difficult fire because of a number of things. the high temperatures, the low humidity, and the wind the wind is a huge concern on sunday when gusto 45 to 55 miles per hour throughout the day and it is the evening that is most concerning the overnight hours, the national weather service saying when gust of 60 to 70 miles an hour, take a listen to what the forest service is saying about all of this every one of us is concerned with the wind that's the single most driving factor of this fire. it does. burns fairly frequently along this corridor which keeps it from there very large brush component. however, now we have more light flashy fuels to the fire can move quickly and then when the wind can lines up with the drainages and research ribbon right through them. it's it's definitely concerned. so that's what we're looking at. if hopefully these winds that are forecasts, and don't sterilized to the extent they're supposed to, which is 60 miles an hour. and maybe tomorrow will be more calm day and authorities in this area telling people to be extremely careful to have their belongings packed in case they have to evacuated already, at least 1,200 people are under evacuation orders. >> many others are under evacuation warnings. and that's because these flames can spread quickly. i mean, again, this is a backfire. this is something that they're doing on purpose to try to contain the flames, but it could spread quickly and authorities just telling people to be extremely careful, camila burnout, cnn, lubeck, california meanwhile, a significant heat wave is expected to sweep across large parts of the us this week record-breaking heat is building from the midwest and great lakes up to the northeast, more than 260 million people could see temperatures above 90 degrees with some cities likely topping 100 degrees is potentially the longest this heat wave experienced in decades for some areas with high temperatures expected to continue into next week. >> meanwhile, there is a risk of excessive rainfall today in the upper midwest from a stalled low pressure system. the region could see three to four inches of rain by tuesday morning now, us president joe biden warning americans that are second trump presidency would be catastrophic for the nation. at a star studded los angeles fundraiser, he framed this year's presidential election as an inflection point in us history are you hoping this will rally more support for his reelection campaign cnn's priscilla alvarez reports president biden over the weekend underscored the stakes of the election at a glitzy fundraiser in los angeles in a conversation that was moderated by jimmy kimmel, the president warned about a second donald trump presidency but he did so this time by focusing on the supreme court saying that in the next four years, it's possible that there will be more vacancies on the supreme court and pose the question as to what that could mean if it was donald trump as president during that time. the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees. two more, two more. he's already appointed to that are very negative in terms of the rights of individuals. the idea that if he's reelected, he's going to appoint two more foreign flags upside down. is really, i'm i really mean it, this be good, this be the scary as part of all of it. >> well, i think it is one of the scariest parts of a look. the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today after the decision that overrule roe v. wade, the dobbs decision you had clarence thomas talking about the fact that there are going to be other things we should reconsider including in vitro fertilization, including contraception, including all these things. >> the president in talking there about reproductive freedoms, the galvanizing issue for the binding campaign. and one of them a fanned out across the country to talk about and to make the argument that they are at risk. reproductive freedoms are at risk if donald trump were to win a second term. but you didn't next to president biden was also for president barack obama, who also talked about the values of candidates and that too should be considered by voters when they go to the polls. but this was also an event that would that allow democrats to rake in more money. and indeed this was the largest ever democratic fundraiser with more than 30 million raise. and that is the momentum of the biden campaign is trying to keep going into november as they also try to maintain that cash advantage over donald trump brazil alvarez, cnn, washington while meanwhile, donald trump spent the weekend traveling to the state of michigan, where he made an appeal to black voters at a community roundtable in a predominantly black church in detroit the crime is most ramp and right here and in african american communities, we don't want to get robbed and mugged and beat up or killed because we want to walk across the street to buy a loaf of bread. but the black population wants law enforcement more than any other popular he also spoke at a conservative conference where he based leslie cast doubt on the 2020 election as a way to attack this year's election. a new york times or sienna college survey of battleground states released last month shows trump winning more than 20% of black voters in a two-way match up with the us president by that would amount to a historic high if it translates to boats in november compare that to trap winning roughly one in ten black voters nationally in 2020 according to multiple estimates, the tasha lind sat is a professor of government at the university of essex. she joins us now from cultures to england. thank you so much for joining us. i mean, what do you make of this latest appeal? so from donald trump in that church well, he has been trying to appeal to a lot of demographics that democrats have traditionally done well with not just african american voters, but also hispanic voters. and we've seen that the polls haven't been very good for biden with this wide group of different people that he has to attract, not just young voters, hispanic voters, black voters buy-in has been hemorrhaging support amongst african-american voters and trump is trying to capitalize on that. now, what some of the poles also revealed though, is he's trump, is not able to grab a lot of those voters because many of them have said maybe we won't vote, or we're going to vote for a third party candidate a recent poll looking at the state of michigan and pennsylvania were showing that though biden is losing a lot of support and only has about 60% favorability rating among african in american voters. they're trump, isn't making huge gains. and so it's a bit of a mixed picture there. and you also have the recent conviction which trump claimed would appeal to african-america n voters and a majority of them found this really offensive. >> and you had two thirds of those same voters in those two swing states that said they were less likely to vote for him because of his conviction. so while he may be chipping away a little bit at at biden's huge lead that he had an in 2020 it's not really a sizable amount of voters that will help by helped trump. >> he's going to be likely the beginning support elsewhere. that's interesting, isn't it? because at the last election when he got it and he obviously lean very much into blue collar workers but it's a much broader demographic as you say, this time is trying to reach every demographic he is because i think he thinks that these blue color, white, non college educated voters are probably a lock and that for him to win this election, he's going to he's going to have to appeal to these newer demographic that seemed to be leaning towards him. >> i mean, one of the most notable ones are hispanic voters that have just completely soured on biden and this had traditionally been a huge block for the democratic party. but particularly in swing states, where you have large amounts of his stomach hispanic voters, trump is doing really well. i mean, at this point, florida is a lock for trump and that used to be a state that was more of a swing state. >> what do anticipate for the debates we've obviously got one coming up on cnn. and he's very powerful debater, isn't he? donald trump how do you think president biden will try to differentiate and undermine him? >> in this debate is really important for biden more so than trump. trump has this very unorthodox debating style. i don't even know how much he actually prepares because he doesn't really have to know policy. he doesn't really have to know facts because he tends to spew out a bunch of misleading comments are lies or slogans and just overpowers and bullies. his opponent now, with this new feature that they're going to mute the person who is not speaking that should help biden, but there's a lot on the line for biden. and similarly to his really well done stated the union address where he was able it'll two at least quiet concerns about his age and robustness. >> he can't have a bad debate. he's going to have to appear energize and quick on his feet. i know the way trump will perform. it will be the same way he always does. it will be this loud, powerful performance that is full of a lot of myths, truths, but will resonate with his supporters and what about voter engagement here? >> because love a pulse suggesting people don't want either of them. how engaged are they, and how much of an issue is voter turnout going to be? >> this is a huge turnout, of course, for biden. he's going to have to galvanize, mobilize it. why coalition of people to support him? and as he was saying at the recent fundraiser that they had in los angeles this is all about democracy. democracy is on the line. there could be other supreme court justices that will overturn even further enroll back even further reproductive rights and possibly the rights of the lgbtq plus community. and it's not just that, that the supreme court justices, that that trump will weaponize the justice system in his favor. and we'll point more just federal judges. he appointed almost as many february feel judges in four years as a vomited and eight years. so that's going to be the key talking point for the democrats that this is really the most important election. in spite of the fact that no one is particularly energized because you have the same match up as last year that will be what the democrats are going try to sound the alarm on. >> okay. >> natasha lindsey. thank you very much. as of your insights and do be sure to watch says sin and host that us presidents debate next week, thursday twice at the june 9 pm eastern in the us. that's 9:00 a.m. friday in hong kong well to you and agency say they've seen no change in the amount of aid entering gaza, despite the israeli military tactical pores let's started over the weekend. we're supposed to allow more aid to get into the enclave, the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs told cnn, the pause was not a new thing on the ground, it was simply a packaging of an announcement reflecting what we've been doing here in gaza for over a week it goes on to say, however, the lack of any police or rule of law in the area makes it very dangerous for us to move goods there. for example, yesterday, we were unable to use it at all, adding the war between hamas and israel is not the only issue we have on the ground. while the tactical pause apparently create a confusion at the highest level the israeli government, it's really official tells cnn that prime minister benjamin netanyahu was unhappy when he heard about the announcements sources that yahoo was assured that the fighting in rather, we'll continue, israel's government says it wants to strengthen jewish settlements. meanwhile, in the occupied west bank prime minister that neil, whose office says israel security cabinet that will vote on proposals at its next meeting. this comes out of four countries recently recognized an independent palestinian state. israel's foreign ministry says the recognition was a reward for terrorism. dennis ellie gucken joins us live from tel-aviv, elliot, first of all the west bank, just take us through what the plan is. there we don't really know it to be perfectly honest to max, all we have is this statement saying that the government is going to continue to look at the various options that it has. >> but certainly ever since this government came into effect, what it has done is after every militant attack, for example, in the west bank against israel really settlers, for example, or any terrorist attack that has taken place is that it has responded by giving approvals two more settlements. now usually this is just additional dwellings in existing settlements, but it has also made moves to legitimize so-called outpost, which i'm not accepted by the israeli state as settlements. so certainly this is something that israel is considering. and as i say, it would be in keeping with this governments previous announcements, which is that every time there is some kind of attack or against israel from the west bank in particular. or it feels like under threat for example, with the recognition of a palestinian state by countries such as ireland that we had just the other week then it's kind of response is to push through more settlement building in the occupied west bank next just take us through this tactical pores as well obviously some confusion in the israeli government and on the ground isn't seem to make much difference anyway okay. >> maybe early days too early to see if there is going to be a difference because it's only came into effect on saturday and d one of the un agencies said as much, but certainly there doesn't seem to have been made any difference thus far in terms of the actual announcement, it's a very curious situation, isn't it? because what we had was a statement from the israeli military saying think that this tactical pause, this come out and sunday morning saying this tactical pause came into effect on saturday and would remain in place until further notice from 8:00 in the morning until 7:00 p.m. local time. that was swiftly followed by a clarification saying, this doesn't mean that there'll be a cessation of hostilities in the southern part of the gaza strip, particularly in rafa, where israel says it is going after the last readout of hamas, the last remaining battalions of the militant group, something it needs to do in order to destroy the militant groups governance and military capabilities. now, we, as you said in the introduction, max, we understand the netanyahu says that he didn't know about this. the only learned about it from media reports is really media saying get the same thing goes for you. i've got alarmed the defense minister, so effectively you have the two people that make up the war cabinet. now that benny ganz has gone, the two people that make up the wall cabinet and are therefore in charge of the war in the gaza, apparently being unaware of something that is apparently are significant as this tactical pause. but i think what it does also do to max is it kind of shows the competing pressures that netanyahu is under on the one hand, from the united states. so get as much aid into the gaza strip as possible. and on the other, from the far-right ministers in his governing coalition, who don't want him to make any concessions to the palestinians because it says that these are concessions, rewards effectively for hamas. and i would like, and this a little little bit to president biden's ceasefire plan, which he announced about three weeks ago, which he said that israel had signed off of my mat no sooner had president biden put out that statement that on the jewish sabbath, which is very rare, the prime minister's office putting out a statement almost not denying the existence of this plan or israel or his approval of it, but clarifying that this doesn't preclude israel or israel will continue to fight hamas in the gaza strip as so long as it has yet to achieve its objectives of destroying her master's military and governance capabilities, preventing the gaza strip continue to be a threat and also getting all of those hostages home. so i'd liken it to that situation where netanyahu isn't necessarily denying well, we understand that he's nine, but it may be that he was aware of it. but at the same time felt the need for this clarification so as to avoid alienating the far right ministers in his government maximum elliot until you. thank you so much palestinian muslims in gaza, the holy day of iid. i'll add on sunday, but there was little to celebrate. there were prayers amid the rubble this event in han yunus but with fear as a family in many parts of gaza, feasts that normally accompany their holiday, just didn't happen in a statement you as present, joe biden wish the world a blessed holiday and said, he's doing everything possible to end the war, free the hostages, and work towards a two-state solution. attending, we can do the us dropped by more than a dozen mass shootings. meanwhile, we'll have details when we come back, including one shooting. an
