Youve been waiting all week to get to the weekend, and now we have arrived. Good morning. Welcome to cnn this morning. Its saturday, july 15th. Im Victor Blackwell. And im rahel solomon in for amara walker. Victor, good to be with you, my friend, even if remotely. Even if theres distance between us, its good to have you on the show. Coming up, scorching hot temperatures and dangerous conditions, now 45 Million People are under heat alerts this weekend. Well tell you whos going to see the worst of it. A pizza box and Burner Phones. A cold case gets cracked over after decades. How authorities track down a string of killings in new york that went unsolved for years. I worry that its going to go on for a long time. I hope that its not. Right now we cannot make a liveable wave on what were living. And hollywood grinds to a halt as actors join writers on the picket line. How long it could go on and what it could mean for your favorite shows. And the Mega Millions jackpot soars again. We tell you how much a Winning Ticket is worth. Plus powerball is no slouch either. How much is up for grabs there. An extreme weekend is headed our way with 45 Million People under heat alerts. Temperatures in phoenix have reached 110 degrees fahrenheit every day this month. Thats forced a lot of businesses and parks to close or reduce their hours. It could be deadly. National parks across the west and southwest are warning hikers about the dangerous heat. The death valley sight is warning people. The zoo in california is closed to visitors tomorrow. Its one of the Busiest Travel Seasons of the year. Lets go now to meteorologist brandon miller. Obviously the heat is intense. Its dangerous. When is there going to be some relief . Any time soon . Not any time soon. The heat dome has been seemingly for weeks. Going back to the beginning, middle of june, this heat dome has sort of sat there. It hasnt broken down. It sort of meandered from east to west, texas to arizona, but it just hasnt broken. Its stronger at times, weaker at times. Right now definitely stronger. I know what youre thinking. Its july, its the desert, and its going to be hot. This right here is why we care. The temperatures are above that hot average. The hottest time of the year, its going to be 100 seemingly. You add 10 to 15 degrees. Thats how much above average we are to that. A lot of the country is actually average in the north and northeast or even below average. Enjoy that, guys. The people in the west would certainly love to have that, but this is not going to break any time soon in the southwest. Again, its going to meander again. What does it turn into . It turns into 100plus record temperatures. Stretching all the way to florida. Dont forget florida. Theyre setting records. We know oceans are record hot. But all the way to the west, the records are just adding up. You said it. 85 million americans. Thats one in four. In the west, its pretty much four in four. Californias getting in it for the first time all year. Stay inside if youve got access to an ac. Thats the best relief. Brandon mill e ther, thank you much. People in arizona have endured scorching heat for two weeks in a row. Cnn correspondent lucy kafanov reports. Good morning. Whats different about this particular heatwave is how intensitys been. How many consecutive days weve seen of temperatures at 110 degrees or above. Its expected to get much higher than that this weekend, and those are dangerous conditions. The other problem is the temperatures dont really cool down enough at night and so it makes for a very stifling and uncomfortable environment. The city of phoenix is taking this Climate Change and the heat issue incredibly seriously. We spoke to the citys Chief Heat Czar and he is warning that this heatwave could be deadly. Take a listen. Unfortunately in our region and many thousands more across the United States, heat is fatal. Its something the public needs, and it can impact people. Nobody is immune. Reporter in these extreme temperatures, small mistakes can be deadly. We suffolk one staff member at the phoenix Childrens Health hospital how parents should be on the lookout for stroke illness and Heat Sickness but also not to leave their kids in the car. Take a listen. Parents think its not going to happen to me. Im not going to ever leave my kid in a vehicle. It could happen to anybody. Most folks are trying to stay indoors, but there are obviously jobs where you cant avoid it. We spent the day with a crew yesterday who was busy running around phoenix installing airconditioning units including one Emergency Call at a womens shelter where that airconditioner unit could mean the difference between life and death. Take a listen. Were slammed. We got calls all day. Its an Emergency Call. For those who are less fortunate who might not have access to a working airconditioner, keep in mind that phoenix does have a very Large Population of people who are experiencing homelessness. The city has opened up dozens and dozens of Cooling Centers for folks to be able to get a little bit of relief. Back to you. In italy, Health Officials have issued an extreme Health Risk Warning for 15 cities including rome and morris. People in the mediterranean are used to the heat and its excessive. I wonder if ac is as common in italy. Reporter yeah, you know, that is one of the biggest pro problems. In europe just 10 of the population has airconditioning. Certainly not every home has airconditioning here. There are so many people here, so many tourists. Rome is bursting. This is the hottest part of the year always, but this year has been relentless, and today is the coolest day its going to be for the next five and today is absolutely hot. Weve got a lot of tourists here in rome from Northern Europe and the United States that are just shocked by this temperature. We got sound from a couple of them. Lets hear what they have to say. Theres a lot of people. Hopefully no one will suffer any illness. Its a very intense heat index. The heat is hard, but we orr going to push through it. I dont know when ill ever be back, so im taking advantage of the day, yep, stay hydrated, wear a hat, and take breaks when you can. And, you know, you listen to them. They probably plan their vacation for months if not years to come to rome and enjoy the beautiful city and be very disappointed to staly locked inside a hotel room. There are fountains throughout the city. You can fill up your water bottles. It costs a couple of hundred dollars to jump in the fountain behind me, but there are other things you can do to stay cool. Joining us now is dr. Matthew levy, associate professor of special medicine. Doctor, welcome to the program and thanks for being with us. One thing if its heat. Its another thing the duration of the heat, which in some parts of country has lasted weeks. What kind of constant stresses does that put on someones body . Good morning. You hit the nail right on the head. What were talking about is this prolonged period of sustained heat. At periods of time where historically the body could adjust to the heat and at least in the evenings have a chance to cool off, but where theres no break and the temperatures remain high, the body remains under increased stress and emergency workload and that can be especially challenging for people with Chronic Health conditions, age, and a couple of other risk factors. What happens in the risk . Sure. Our bodies are remarkably evolved to retain optical and sustainable conditions for our organs to try to do their work. Our bodies try to maintain that degree of balance, if you will. The body systems have to work extra hard. The hotter it is, the greater the temperatures the body is exposed to. That pushes a Fizz Logic Demand on the heart, lung, kidneys, and other organs. There can be a demand the hotter the body gets as it tries to maintain itself and it can further affect ones heat and Hydration Status and put them at illness. Whats a good rule of thumb as youre trying to assess roys safe to be out in these temperatures . I really think we have to heed the warnings of our meteorological experts and officials and say, you know, really think about the risk benefit of what were doing. What you have to do, need to do, versus want to do, and take those steps to be safe. I think there are some things we can modify. Duration of activities outside, the essential necessity of doing things outside. Then we have to weigh that out with the potential risk of developing heatrelated illness. Not only that, we have to think about the impact of our actions on those around us. In terms of assessing how much is too much, what are some Warning Signs perhaps in your body that you may want to get inside, you may want to get a drink of water and intervene across the threshold before things become more serious . Yes. First and foremost, dont ignore your body. If youre feeling like youre thirsty, youve probably already fallen behind on Hydration Status. Staying hydrated. Staying prehydrated is one of the most important things you can do. But as heat illness evolves in the body, the headaches, cramps, body aches, these are Warning Signs that your body is needing some help. Heeding warnings, getting inside in time, increasing your Hydration Status, replacing your electrolytes are all important steps and heat illness can rapidly progress. Think thats important to remember. You can go from not feeling too well to having someone particularly with an underlying medical condition entering a condition of lifethreatening heatstroke very quickly. I think these are great tips especially for folks who may not have an airconditioner, may have to work outside, be outside, important to at least heed the warnings internally. Dr. Matthew levy, thanks for being on with us this morning. Police in new york believe theyve cracked a decadesold killing cold case. They arrested an architect. Beginning in 2010 authorities found ten sets of human remains, of waterfront over several trip miles. Four women were found in gilgo known as the gilgo beach murders. It was cracked open thanks to Burner Phones, pizza crust, and dna testing. Im standing here with my Law Enforcement partners and the gilgo tack force to announce the indictment of rex heuermann. Reporter the women were found bound up. When i joined in 2022, i made gilgo a priority. Reporter it traumatized and captivated Long Island City for more than a decade. Now the suspect as unthinkable as the murders themselves. This is a shock. Ive seen some things. Reporter rex heuermann, 59, charged with three murders. Faces a possible fourth murder charge. Investigators say they identified heuermann by dna from the victims and the car he drove. They obtained hundreds of warrants linked to Burner Phones and email accounts. He used them to communicate with his victims, taunt the family of one of them that led to the investigation of the long unsolved murders. We recognize the murders happened years ago, but the pain continues. Reporter investigators biggest break is when they were observing him at his Manhattan Office eating pizza when he discarded the pizza box into the trash can. The dna has been linked to melissa barthelemy, amber costello, and megan waterman, all sex traffic workers. In all there were 11 bodies found in and around gilgo beach. Three and possibly a fourth linked to one alleged killer so far. Investigators say they made the arrest now because they fear heuermann could strike again. He was using these alternate identities and alternate incidents to patron nice sex workers. Reporter he has pled not guilty and insists through his lawyer he is not innocent. He is an unlikely suspect. A husband, father of two, architect working on building. Im an architect, troubleshooter, born and raised on long island. Reporter as for the other victims found, many of their Family Members hope this will lead to answers about their loved ones. Were they victims as well. Im hopeful for the future and im hopeful that a connection is made. Miguel marquez, thank you.

Com President Biden raked in 72 million in the First Quarter of fundraising since launching his reelection bid. That could ease concerns about his fundraising abilities and the slow start to his campaign. Bidens fundraising hall is more than any other contender but its also less than the record 86 million than obama raised in his First Quarter. Lets bring in jasmine write. What more are we learning about how much money the president raised and also who donated it. The one thing that these numbers will do as victor just said is really satisfy some of the Donor Concerns that the sluggest campaign was kicking off to and the lack of Voter Enthusiasm weve seen in the polls. While 72 million is a res respectable number, it not the showstopper. Youre right. Its more than any other contender posted in the quarter. That certainly pleased this campaign. Now, when we talk about comparisons getting into those nittygritty numbers. The 86 million is a big comparison to the fact that what biden raised in this is less than that. But when you talk to campaign officials, the first thing out of their month is the fact he was running for reelection less than three weeks earlier in that quarter saying president obama had a threeweek start. The Biden Campaign actually raised more per day. Still the fact is that 72 million is less and also the fact that now in 2023 individual contributors can contribute about 800 more than they were able to in 2011. Another comparison when we go Down The Line is when we talk about individual donors. In 2011 President Biden had about 550,000 individual donors for a quarter too. This time President Biden has about 400,000. So still a little bit less. Now when you talk to campaign officials, theyll talk about two things. First theyll acknowledge the change of the political climate, Voter Fatigue on both the republican and democratic sides and secondly this is a campaign ramping up to get to full steam ahead. They dont have a Campaign Finance director and theyre really chugging along to not get at the stages that is full capacity for a campaign, but there are three numbers that ill point to. The Biden Campaign says theyre indicative of the fact they have room to grow. First the average contributor was 39,000. The second, 97 of all donations were under 200. Probably the last important number is the fact that 30 of donors were new to their campaign, meaning they did not donate in 2020, meaning they can come back to these folks again, showing how much growth capacity this campaign has over the future. Victor. Jasmine wright, thank you so much. Lets expand the discussion and bring in contributor errol louis. Good morning you do. 72 million is. That enough to quell democrats anxieties . Good morning to you. I didnt know they had anxiety, but if they did, this would put it to sleep. This is a lot of money. On track to have like a quarter billion dollars this Time Next Year going into the convention season. I dont see any real problem with that. Lets keep in mind hes got endless opportunities any day or night. He can decide to capture the attention of the entire nation by putting out a statement, making a statement, or inviting the cameras into the oval office. Joe biden will do all of that and more. Weve got somebody whos fully loaded and ready to wage a competitive campaign, make no mistake about that. Lets turn to the republican primary now. Former President Trump skipped the most recent event in iowa, kind of thumbing his nose at iowa. He says the government is biased in some way. But think of this. An incumbent president ial nominee has not been voted in since 2014. Does he need to be part of the conversation . Can he afford to sit out iowa until the primaries start . Well, he absolutely can afford to. The other fact of all of this, victor, is hes 30 points ahead of his nearest competitor. The former president has been visiting iowa. He hasnt been going all out. To the extent that hes up 30 points without putting in a lot of effort, why waste time there . Better to move on where things might get a little bit sticky. He might not be able to afford to get into a scrum in iowa. Hes competing with people who are desperate to move into the polls. Hes competing against people who are fighting against the evangelical base and theyre going to be haymakers to try and carve off one or two or three percent of the vote he has to take the debate stage. I think trump is just decided its not worth it to be there and be that target. Lets talk about the military funding bill passed by the house. Its going to hit a wall in the senate. There are some conservative elements that have been added related to paying for travel for Service Members who are traveling out of the state to get abortions, p. R. I. D. E. Flags and the rest. Mccarthy reached a deal on the Debt Krooeling with the white house. Can he afford to deal on this. Well, he has to deal on this. I dont know how much hes going to get out of it, to tell you the truth. Really an extraordinary act that the Republican Leadership of the house decided to push through these really extreme measures. Youve got to keep in mind, victor, the military, the men and women in the service, theyre not some foreign group. Theyre drawn from all 50 states. Theyre reflective of the nation. This is a nation that went through multiple revolutions, the civil rights revolutions, womens rights, lgbtq rights, and theyre not going to sit back and watch it get back. This is dead on arrival in the senate. This will be a lot of hard bargaining, but the idea of stripping rights away, its simply not going to fly. Very unlikely this is going to pass. Youve got the keep in mind, they only got it passed by a couple of votes. They had to pull out every stop to get this extreme agenda passed, and i think its doa in the senate. The white house isnt going to give them very much help. I think something more rational is going to come out of all of this. Thats more important than who or what the military is all about. When you Say Something rational is coming and mccarthy will have to deal, would you say the most conservative point of the conference in the house, theyre still dissatisfied with what was the eventual deal over the debt ceiling. What does a potential deal mean for his leadership or future on this . Look, i think in their heart of hearts, even the most extreme elements in the republican conference in the house understand that. Youve got to make sure the military is funded, and this is this and the actual military is very different from the one theyre trying to portray. You have an army thats 30 black and white latino. For them to say theyre going to disband all of the diversity and equity programs and fire all the staff, that double make any sense. It harms military readiness. The leaders of the pentagon, many of whom are men and women of color, have said so. Its the key strife of the Volunteer Army and military. I do think that in the end, the bargain is going to be struck that will be closer to a rational center, and even the extremists are going to have to go along. Theyre going to have to be backed into a corner. All right. Errol louis, thanks so much. Coming up for us, striking actors hit the picket lines demanding Big Hollywood execs. Pay attention to them. Were trying to pay our rent and mortgages and help put food on table, so this will help them to be able to do it. What will it take to get both sides back to the Bargaining Table .

Some of hollywoods biggest stars are stepping out of the studio onto the picket line. Theyre officially on strike this morning, and they join the writers who have already been on strike against the same studios and streaming Services Since early may. The Writers Strike halted most productions and with actors, almost all production is expected to come to a halt. I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. Reporter tonight actors join writers. All these millionaires are making money and no one else is seeing any of that money. Reporter workers who support the production from janitors to Restaurant Workers also face uncertainty. Its kind of scary. Im trying to figure out what to do today. Reporter alist actors are voicing their support of the strikes. Im very much in support of all the unions orr it needs to be allocated to take care of people. Reporter the cast of oppenheimer has walked out of their premiere. Along with better pay, actors say residuals for past work have dried up in the streaming era. Theres a whole middle class of writers and actors are kiss appearing because theyre making it more and more difficult to make a living. Reporter Artificial Intelligence threatens their future by replacing them. They propose or Background Workers should be scanned, get one days pay and they should be able to own it and use it for the rest of eternity for any project they want. Reporter studios say they have offered the highest percent in pay and actors arent considering the realities of declining pressures nor the challenges of streaming services. Theres a loevl expectation they have that is just not realistic, and theyre adding to a set of challenges that this business is already facing that is, quite frankly, very disruptive. How they plead poverty losing money left and right when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their ceos. It is disgusting. We really believe they wanted to make a deal, but, in fact, now i feel a little duped. How far apart are you . Well, theres a fairly big gap. They could make a deal right this minute if they wanted to do that, and were ready and willing to come back to the Bargaining Tables. Reporter he also told me the studio would not sit down for talks while a strike is going on and the writers have not made much progress in the more than two months theyve been on strike. This is very much an Industry Town and weve heard stories about both spouses in a Household Working in entertainment and these strikes take down both incomes in many cases. I found a couple of the picket line with a sign that read we just got mair and this is our honeymoon. There are concerns over a popular sweetener found in thousands of products people use so often.

Com tv some potentially worrying news for diet soda drinkers. The World Health Organization has labeled one of the most commonly used Artificial Sw sweeteners aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans. That means it could cause cancer. But the fda and others have considered it safe for consumption based on the guidelines. Thats because of the small amounts in a typical can of soda or other foods. Theres a bit of confusing guidance coming out from the w. H. O. Because two different committees weighed in on the aspartame risk. The first said theres limited risk of canccausing concerns. So, of course, this is a sw sweetener thats found in diet sodas, breakfast cereals, cough drops, and chewable vitamins. The w. H. O. s director of the dertment of food and nutrition safety dr. Francesca branca saying in a Statement Potential effects have been described and need to be investigated more. The initial thought here is all the studies of the potential link are not Strong Enough to say theres an actual Casstive Effect in terms of the cancer risk. What theyre trying to do is spur better research. But to put this into some context, theyre putting this into a group thats the third lowest of four in terms of cancer risks to humans. The others include aloe vera, exposure to drycleaning, engine exhaust, and traditional asian pickled vegetables. And to compare that with the highest risk, that highest Group Includes cigarettes as that category. In terms of how much diet soda is this knows limits as recommended by the World Health Organization, if you think about the amount of aspartame in a condition of soda, its been suggested its about 100 milligrams. For a person thats 183 pounds would have to drink 33 cans of diet soda per day. Thats obviously a lot more than most people are consuming. However, of course, that is a weightbased recommendation, so its lower for children who are smaller. Of course, the World Health Organization is not reco recommending, a, that people drink at much or drink regular soda. They suggest water. Theres been a strong reaction from the Beverage Industry. Machinery Beverage Industry group say theres a broad consensus that aspartame is safe. Its a conclusion reached time and time again. So, of course, there is a lot of consternation coming out of this, but no actual recommendations to change behavior on a large basis. A quick programming note.
