Ahead on cnn newsroom, former President Donald Trump says his right to free speech is in danger, well tell you what the Special Counsel is asking the judge to do in the way of a limited gag order. President biden, meanwhile, is weighing in on the uaw strike as negotiators prepare to head back to the Bargaining Table. And north Korean Leader kim jongun is wrapping up his tour of Military Sites in russia, well have a live report from the region. Announcer live from cnn center this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. Donald trump is lashing out at the Special Counsel investigating his alleged 2020 federal election interference. He says jack smith is trying to rob him of his First Amendment right to free speech. Smiths office had asked a u. S. District court judge to impose a court order limiting what the former president can say in public about the case against him. The Justice Department says the order is needed to protect the integrity of trumps upcoming trial. Trump spoke about it before the right wing womens group on friday. Here he is. In a true sense im being indicted for you. Thanks a lot, everybody, i appreciate it. I appreciate you. And did you see today that deranged jack smith, hes the prosecutor, hes a deranged person, wants to take away my rights under the First Amendment . Wants to take away my right of speaking freely and openly, never forget our enemies want to stop us because we are the only ones that can stop them. They want to take away my freedom because i will never let them take away your freedom. Trump has already been ordered not to intimidate potential witnesses or talk to them about the facts of the case. Jes Jessica Schneider has more. Reporter the Special Counsel team is laying out a long list of reasons why they want the judge to immediately order donald trump to stop making statements online and in person that could really end up intimidating witnesses, Court Officials or the jury pool. The Special Counsel did reveal on friday that numerous witnesses have faced threats and intimidation because of those statements from donald trump. So now theyre asking judge Tanya Chutkan to do something about trumps words, laying it out this way, saying the defendants repeated inflammatory public statements regarding the district of columbia, the court, prosecutors and potential witnesses are substantially likely to materially prejudice the jury pool, create fear among potential jurors and result in threats or harassment to individuals he singles out. Put simply those involved in the Criminal Justice process who read and hear the defendants December Parjing messages from Court Personnel to potential jurors they may reasonably fear they could be the next target of the defendants attacks. Because of that, the Special Counsel wants judge chutkan to issue this order restricting trump from making certain comments. The Special Counsel really is laying out a number of other social media posts and comments from trump over recent weeks that have targeted jack smith himself, the Special Counsel, even former Vice President mike pence and even a prosecutor on jack smiths team. Its interesting to note that judge chutkan already ordered trump to refrain from disparaging comments during his arraignment. But obviously hes made those comments anyway, and now the Special Counsel wants the judge to issue an order, an official order in writing, prohibiting trump from naming witnesses, making statements about them, or making any statements about anyone, including attorneys, and potential jurors that are disparaging or intimidating. So this is really a significant move, and requests from the Special Counsel, and even though the judge has warned trump once this is asking the judge to make this order official and ironclad against trump with possible repercussions if he were to violate any order. Jessica schneider, cnn, washington. Negotiations to end a strike by United Auto Workers against the u. S. Big three Car Companies are expected to resume in a matter of hours. 13,000 members are walking the picket lines and getting reenforcements from washington, the Acting Labor Secretary and the Top White House adviser went to detroit friday to help the sides reach a deal. Auto companies who have seen record profits the last few years, the profits havent been shared fairly with the workers. Here he is. No one wants a strike. Say it again, no one wants a strike. But i expect workers right to use their options under the collective bargaining system. Theyve been around the clock and the company has made significant offers. They should go further to share record profits, meaning record contracts. The uaw president says 80 of the unions demands have been left off proposals from the auto makers. Fords ceo says the wage demands would put his company out of business. Reporter besides theyre heading back to the Bargaining Table, telling cnn that it has sent counteroffers, and is now awaiting their response. Its not clear at this point whats in those offers, but it is going to take quite a bit to bridge the divide that we have seen between these sides. And until a deal is met, until a deal is reached, i should say, were going to continue to see picket lines like this operating 24 hours a day like the one here in toledo outside this sfactory where they build jeeps, there are 13,000 workers on strike, a ford in michigan, and a General Motors factory in missouri. The auto workers i spoke with today say despite making 100 a day in strike pay theyre ready to strike for as long as they need to. Our members are willing to stay in for the long haul. Out of Bankruptcy Smarting pay 15. 78, 14 years later, its 15. 78. Something wrong with that. Reporter they told me on the picket line it is possible additional factories will strike in the coming days if they feel that it is necessary. Either way, you can expect were going to start to see more of a Ripple Effect of additional manufacturing facilities and factories that may have to shut down operations even lay off workers because they cant get the parts that they need to operate. Gabe cohen, cnn, to ledo, ohio. The outer bands of Hurricane Lee are starting to blast the new england area at this hour. The category 1 storm is bringing 80 Miles Per Hour winds. Its expected to hit through maine and canada. The worst conditions are forecasted later today with widespread Power Outages likely across parts of nova scotia and new brunswick. Its expected to weaken somewhat before it hits the coast of canada by sunday morning. In hawaii, the official death toll has fallen from the devastating wildfire on maui last month. The states governor tells cnn fewer than 100 have died, and three dozen people are still missing. He expects those numbers to fall. The number of fatalities has actually dropped from what was projected to be 115. Its now at 97. We have about 23 people who have passed away who we have not been able to identify yet. And a lot of the 31 reports of missing people will, you know, that will cover the 23, im sure. Who have not yet been identified. So the number will keep dropping. Emergency teams in Eastern Libya are still searching for thousands of people who disappeared after catastrophic floods hit the region. Their work has been exhausting and at times mentally distressing as youll see in this graphic video. Have a look here on the northern coastline. Workers have been retrieving bodies from the water days after they were swept out to sea. Crews have also been searching for the missing by combing through the rubble of collapsed buildings. First responders from All Around The World have been helping out. Many focused on the city of derna which has seen the worst damage. Translator hours before the floods came the situation seemed manageable with local authorities keeping the flooding Under Control. However, the rupture of the dam caused a huge problem and resulting in a flooding killing many people. Its a tragedy. The sheer scope of the devastation has made it difficult to determine the exact death toll. But even though the extent of the tragedy remains unclear the u. N. Says theres no doubt about what caused it. This is a tragedy in which climate and capacity has collided to cause this terrible, terrible tragedy. We have more details now from cnns in derna. Reporter its a scene of utter devastation here. Everywhere you turn its apocalyptic scenes here, it resembles a war zone. Many cities across the libyan coast were impacted by that storm but what happened in derna was so different. These catastrophes caused by two dams that burst, unleashed all that water, the floods that swept through this city and depret destroyed pretty much everything in its path. Washing out entire neighborhoods, buildings, infrastructure, families that ended up in the sea. You speak to people here, survivors, who describe A Night Of Horror that they went through, all this destruction, all this human loss, the thousands of lives that were lost, the more than 10,000 people who are unaccounted for right now they say this all happened within the span of about 90 minutes. Weve spoken to some survivors describing how they had to race to save their lives, their children, grabbing what they can, their children, and running and trying to escape the rising waters that just kept on rising, three story high. We heard that the waves were up to about 22 feet, and those who survived it are just traumatized. You speak to people right now who are barely able to comprehend what happened to them, what happened to their city. People are in shock. And libyans tell you, they have seen everything. They have dealt with war, theyve seen death. They have dealt with loss before. But nothing prepared them for this. And right now, from what we have seen, they dont have the capabilities to deal with a disaster on this scale. There are some Search And Rescue teams that have come in from different countries, but they say this is nowhere near enough. They need more. We have seen so many volunteers here in this bitterly divided country, a country where city fought city, east has been fighting west for more than a decade now, we have seen people from all across the country who have poured into derna, who have poured into the east to try and support the people to help, volunteers, Search And Rescue, trying to help retrieve the dead bodies in the words of one woman we spoke to earlier saying this catastrophe has united the people of libya it seems like it has, at least for now. This is cnn in derna, libya. Kim jongun is forging ahead with his visit to russias far east.

Kim jongun has been getting an inside look at russias Military Sites in the countrys far east, a short time ago the north Korean Leader toured ash from russias specific fleet. They headed to the ship after visiting an airfield in the port city earlier. Mark stuart is following developments for us from beijing, to mark, take us through the messaging behind this visit. Hi there, kim, theres certainly symbolism and substance behind this meaning. This red carpet welcome in russia, for kim jongun, especially today during these Different Military visits. He first went to an airfield, accompanied by the Russian Defense minister, we know he likes these photo ops. Kim jongun sees value in these photo ops, he feels that its perhaps a way to demonstrate his worthiness and his relevancy on The World Stage so its not a surprise that he saw different types of aircraft, military fighter jets, attack aircraft, a long haul passenger jet. He also went to the port to tour a warship. He was not alone. He was with the commander of the russian navy, given a gift, a model of that warship, and also wrote in a guest book. Its not clear, though, exactly what the north Korean Leaders message was written inside. Thats the symbolism of this, these are pictures that are certainly going to go around the globe. Then there is the broader question about the substance of this visit between Vladimir Putin and kim jongun. They met on wednesday. As we know kim jongun traveled to russia in an armored train, very, very powerful, mighty vehicle, if you will. What these two nations want from each other is still to be determined, but it is very clear that they are isolated on The World Stage, especially because of russias involvement in ukraine. But russia perhaps may want to have a Stronger Alliance with north korea, especially when it comes to munition and military supplies, which analysts have pointed out may be a point of weakness for russia, and then north korea also may want to gain from russia, perhaps advance military technology. It could be as simple as food. These are the different interests that could be at stake. Of course, under a very watchful eye. There are United Nations treaties and of course this has created a lot of concern from both the united states, russia from the united states, japan and south korea, i should say. But these are two nations which are really on their own on The World Stage, in fact it was just in july kim, you will remember, that north korea hosted the leaders from russia and from china where i am now, again nations that have not taken a strong position to condemn russia against the war in ukraine, kim. Thanks mark stuart, appreciate it. Well, fresh off those talks with kim jongun Vladimir Putin is looking westward for another ally. The russian president invited Alexander Lukashenko to sochi. It was the seventh time this year the two leaders have met. The ukrainian commander said the Devastated Village of andriivka, taking a bridge head for the counteroffensive to advance. It gave ukrainian troops control of a vital railroad. To get more, well hear from Cnns Fred Pleitgen in kyiv. Reporter on the attack at the crack of dawn. Kyiv says its troops ousted two in the last two days. One of the units involved releasing this video purportedly showing one of their drones hitting a russian vehicle carrying an officer, ukraine attacking not just on land but from the sea and the air as well. This Video Purporting to show unmanned sea drones trying to ram a russian warship just hours after the ukrainians say they hit a russian sub, and a landing ship in the Key Port Of Sebastopol as well as a sophisticated surface to air Missile System in occupied crimea. Thank you for todays triumph, the ukrainian president says, the air Defense System in the land was destroyed. Very significant. Some seem increasingly concerned about ukraines attacks on the peninsula and the bridge that links it to the russian mainland. When it was attacked the first time i was worried so much, nevertheless russia is still strong and he says times are turbulent now, of course im worried, but in general driving over the bridge is okay. Under pressure Vladimir Putin continues to court north korean strong man kim jongun, Kim Visiting A plant that makes fighter jets during his ongoing trip to russia. And while the russians claim no deals have been signed for the north koreans to provide ammo to moscow putin admits he wants to deepen ties with pyongyang. We have never violated anything, and in this instance we are not going to violate anything, putin says, but of course we will look for opportunities to develop russiannorth korean relations but the russians also touting their own military industry. Defense minister Sergei Shoigu on a visit to a shipyard for Nuclear Submarines, the russians will not only develop new Nuclear Submarines but underwater drones as well. While the russians showcase their weapons manufacturing, the north koreans say they are the ones with the initiatives on all battle fronts. Fred pleitgen, cnn, kyiv. And barbie joins us live.
