good morning, everyone. it is saturday, june 17th. i'm amara walker. >> i'm victor blackwell. you are in the cnn newsroom. >> we begin in texas where millions of people are bracing for triple digit heat after tornadoes ripped through the area just two days ago. we want to show you what the scene looked like after an ef-3 rated tornado hit the town of perryton on thursday. cleanup efforts are now under way and the texas governor greg abbott has issued a disaster declaration for communities impacted by the storm. >> in this video, you can see the damage done when the twister touched down. at least three people, including an 11-year-old boy were killed, after that tornado slammed the area. cnn has more for us. massive damage. we're seeing some of it behind you and now that the sun is up, people are there behind you. what's happening? >> reporter: hey there, good morning.

so many of the people i spoke with here in this community describe it as happening so quickly. the tornado touching down just so fast, that they didn't even hear a sign, they didn't get an alert, but once they opened their eyes, this is what they saw. so many homes and businesses here, in the downtown, and in the heart of perryton, just ripped apart. the fire chief tells us that as many as 200 homes were totally destroyed. i want to give you a bird's-eye view right now, to give you a clearer look at the devastation around this downtown area. the national weather service saying, based on the preliminary data, that this was an ef-3 tornado that was on the ground for 11 minutes, peak winds of 140 miles per hour. and the length of this thing just over six miles. now, i spoke with a 16-year-old who lives in this neighborhood, his name was orlando mendosa, who says that his home was ripped apart, and he remembers

praying to god for the safety of his family. the one thing, really three, that were untouched in his home are pictures, framed images, of the virgin mary. >> in our kitchen, we saw the wind started getting really bad and i told my sister-in-law that we might have to go to the shelter and when i said that, i was going to get my dog which was in my room, and when i opened my room, my roof flew off and my dad tried to run out and i grabbed him and we got against the wall a little bit and waited there and we went to the rest room and that's where we stayed for the rest of the time. >> reporter: the youngest victim of this tornado, 11-year-old matthew ramirez, found dead in his neighborhood, which is a trailer, mobile home park, becky randall, 60 years old, found in a print shop and cindy bransgrove also in her 60s, found in a food bank. right now, i can tell you guys

that the focus of this community is really to help one another. it's a small community. 8500 people, from sun-up to sunset, they are out here, working to get this community in order, and to clean up, eventually to rebuild, but a big problem you guys mentioned at the top is that devastating heat, once the sun comes out, it's really baking here, temperatures in texas, 10 to 15 degrees above normal right now. and expected to last that way for at least another seven days. guys? >> an awful time for the people there, isabel rosales, thank you. >> let's talk more about the temperatures and the severe storms that are expected this weekend and some of the same places, already devastated by those tornadoes, meteorologist joining us from the cnn weather center with more on what the people there and in the neighboring areas can expect. >> amara, yes, perryton is in that enhanced risk. once again today, enhanced to a slight risk across parts of

texas, and back into colorado, right on through the plains and into parts of florida as well. so just want to reiterate, know your safe spots. get there. an interior room with as many walls as possible or a basement if you have it. florida already dealing with rain, nothing severe at the moment, but a few stronger storms moving in, north central florida, and ocala, two inches per hour, already coming down, in parts just north of orlando, in parts of florida. and also a few thunderstorms across the plains at the moment, weakening but will regenerate as we get the heat of the day. there is that enhanced risk. and a slight risk for parts of texas, right on up into oklahoma, and southern kansas, and that extends into sunday, as well. and where we have the threats of long-lived strong tornadoes. we also have hail, two inches in diameter, and of course, strong damaging winds, and in excess of 60 miles per hour. time it out for you. already dealing with a few thunderstorms this morning, those weaken and re-develop later this evening, 7:00, 8:00,

holding on to the threat across the southeast as we roll into sunday morning, and in through the afternoon hours, and overnight hours into florida again tomorrow. many over 40 million under some sort of heat alert, excessive heat warnings in place, from brownsville to houston, back into new orleans, and this goes through the day, and likely through the weekend, and where the heat index values as we add in the humidity on already ridiculously hot temperatures, and feeling like we're pushing near 110 degrees. let's avoid heat stroke, heat exhaustion, drink plenty of water and limit your time outdoors. >> thank you so much. what we are seeing in uganda this morning is horrifying. officials are counting the dead after one of the deadliest attacks in its history. police say armed extremist rebels linked to isis attacked a residential school. >> at least 41 people have been killed and six students abducted. and the school's dormitories were set on fire. cnn has more.

there larry, what do we know especially regarding any children who may have been left behind in those dormitories? >> amara, victor, we are learning more about this friday night massacre at this high school in western uganda, two kilometers from the border, with the democratic republican of congo. authorities are blaming the allied democratic forces, an armed group that started in the mid 90s in uganda and spilled over into the eastern drc. and what we understand is that they come into the school at night, the kids were in the dormitories, two boys dormitories and two girls dormitories and the boys barricaded themselves in the dormitories a short while ago, and saying there was a bomb thrown into the boy's dormitory and the boys were burnt beyond recognition. the death toll at 41 and we know at least six were abducted from that school and eight are in critical condition at a hospital nearby. this is not the first time that

they have carried out attacks here in the capital. attacks in 2021, and shortly after that, the ugandan military and the democratic republican of congo military began joint operations in eastern drc to stamp them out. days ago, they have carried out another attack in the eastern drc. so people thought they were safe because the government had assured them they were safe. and now, they and their leaders are facing this. watch. >> just last week, the neighbors, our neighbors were attacked. many people were killed. the security here told us not to fear because the border was secure. we are surprised that they have been killed. well, the security, where was the security? >> this is the worst school attack in almost 25 years in uganda. the last one was in 1998. also carried out by the adf. in an area not too far from this, it happened. and for the high school students, they're as young as

13. and now parents, family members, relatives, having to deal with this tragedy. guys? >> awful. and we understand that the number of those dead now at 41 could increase. thank you so much, larry. we are following new developments in russia's war on ukraine. ukrainian officials say at least two people have died. and more than two dozen injured. in the shelling in the city of kherson. >> the head of the regional ministry says russia launched 75 attacks on the area in 24 hours. the shelling comes as ukraine's counter-offensive has begun. cnn's senior international correspondent fred pleitgen got rare access to an elite ukrainian drone unit targeting russian positions. here's his report. >> reporter: a 3d printed stabilizer fin, some plumbing tubing, lots of glue, and the bomb is ready. then, it's night vision goggles on. lights off. and full speed ahead to the front lines.

with an elite drone unit of ukraine's security service, the svu, and the patrol police looking to take out a key russian tank position with a precision strike. we found this target only recently a team leader said. it was discovered literally today and today, it will be destroyed. >> we're going to the drone launch site right now. obviously extremely dangerous and we have to watch out so the russians don't see us. speed and precision are essential. the drone, a quadri-copter on steroids able to carry a massive payload up to 45 pounds. in this case, a mortar shell the ukrainians say they got from retreating russian forces elsewhere and are now using to hit putin's army. >> prepared. >> the bomb is ready. ready to go. >> okay. >> is it time? >> ready, steady, go.

>> it's big, it's loud, and it's heading straight to the russian position. we need to hide, out here, the hunters quickly become the hunted. >> so for the russians, the drone crews are also a high value target so obviously the russians want nothing more than to kill these guys. >> unfazed by the shelling around us, the pilot flies straight to the target and releases the bomb. >> at this moment, we call for ukraine -- >> you just dropped the bomb? >> yes. >> this is what the blast looks like from the drone's camera. pitch black. the strike fully automated. it's not until daytime that a reconnaissance flight proves they have hit and destroyed the target. not clear how many russians were killed and wounded here. this will allow the defense forces of ukraine to move forward and continue the offensive, he says, with minimal losses, to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, for the

victory of ukraine. but it's not over, as the uav flies back, intercepted text messages show the russians have heard the drone and are targeting it. enemy bird spotted, a russian texts. understood, another answers. they launch flares to spot the drone. >> now you can see. >> yes, back there. >> they can see the drone? >> they cannot see the drone but they should hear the sound. >> finally the drone makes it back. they need to get out of here fast. >> do we follow you? >> yes. >> go, go, go. >> after what they say was a successful mission, the drone warriors leave exactly the way they came. fred pleitgen, cnn, in southeastern ukraine. >> fred, thank you. secretary of state antony blinken is on the way to china in an effort to re-set relations with the country following the

in the building behind me, this is exactly what the president is meant to be doing, going to the i-95 highway collapse and talking about the infrastructure bill and how he is dedicated to getting this rehabbed and fixed as quickly as possible, and then turning to his campaign agenda. now, we hear from president biden, just a few moments ago, as he was leaving washington to head to philadelphia where he will be landing in a few minutes and he touted how excited he was for this campaign event, the first official event since announcing his re-election bid just a few months ago. and he talked about just the amount of union endorsements that he is expected, that he has already had, possibly more, expected to happen, and he talked about how he felt that it was really, that something of this kind, the amount of endorsements that he's had from the afl-cio, aft, the teachers union, hasn't happened before, and we expect him to talk about. that the cornerstone of his speech today will talk about hick economic agenda and how he feels his vision for the u.s.

economy is working, trying as one campaign official told me, to battle test that message on saturday, in front of the union members in philadelphia. >> it's fitting that the president is going to pennsylvania for this first rally of the cycle. he has been to pennsylvania so many times in this first portion of his administration, so that's as expected. let's talk about secretary of state ant n.ony blinken on the to china and was asked about president xi jinping. what did he say? >> he had hoped that the secretary blinken trip to china, arriving today, traveling overnight, it would ease tensions very high right now with china and the u.s., and between those two countries, of course, the president said really frankly that he believed that a consequence of that spy balloon that we know traversed over the u.s. for seven days a few months ago, the consequence of that was not just that it was

shot down, the president said, but that it caused embarrassment to china, because of the fact that he felt that the leadership didn't know that it was there, with it was doing and what it collected. so the president said that he hoped over the next few months, after this visit from secretary blink, that we know that was rescheduled after that balloon, the president says he hopes in the next several months that he is able to meet with chinese president xi over the next few months. but of course, we will be looking for the next few days to see exactly what happens on secretary blinken's trip to china. very, very consequential one, and we know how high tensions are between the u.s. and china. victor? >> jasmine wright at the white house. thank you. as blinken heads to china for that long delayed trip, u.s. officials have lowered expectations for the visit. but there is hope that blinken will help stabilize relations with beijing. blinken was originally set to travel to beijing in early february, as jasmine pointed out but postponed because of that

spy balloon. joining me now is christiopher johnson president and ceo of china strategist group and a former cia analyst. christopher, good to see you. let's first start by just setting expectations and goals here from both perspectives. first, from secretary blinken. the expectations are so low, we don't know if he will meet with president xi, they just say high-ranking officials, what do they want? how much do you think he can get? >> look, probably not a lot, you're right, the expectations are very low, and in part because president xi himself, i was in china visiting a couple of weeks ago and it was very clear to me that president xi himself is not a fan of secretary blinken. in part because of the response to the balloon episode in february and the secretary's canceling of his trip at that time, which was embarrassing for china. and then followed very shortly after that, within the month of february as well, by the

campaign, led by secretary blinken at the munich security conference to suggest that chinese was about to tip over the line with russia and the ukraine intelligence and the intelligence was supposedly backing up that judgment fizzled and the chinese sort of felt this was another effort to embarrass china. so he is not exactly a welcomed guest from that point of view. in terms of what the chinese are after, my sense is they're after an effort to portray themselves as looking reasonable, basically, to other countries, in northeast asia, southeast asia, in europe, to show that they're not being intransigence for the u.s. request for contact, as the biden administration has regularly been saying. they're trying to diffuse that narrative by hosting blinken. but i don't expect we will see much in terms of substantive outcomes. >> do you expect we will see anything of the flavor of the incendiary comments that we heard from the chinese at the conference in singapore?

i mean again, we still have not seen any communication between the u.s. secretary of defense and his chinese counterpart, and some accusations that came out at the last time there was an opportunity for some diplomacy. >> right. yes, my sense is there will be some of that. i think the defense relationship is very particular, for one, as you know well, the chinese defense min ter is under u.s. sanctions, which were put on him in an earlier job that he held by the trump administration for purchasing weapons from russia, from a sanctioned firm, so the chinese point of view is basically there's no way we're going to allow our guy to meet with secretary austin until those sanctions are removed and made that very clear in the context of the singapore visit. obviously the military tensions between the two sides, the south china sea or the taiwan strait, are the most difficult issue and the bilateral relationship, i think we see that reflected in secretary blinken's sort of talking points or the agenda items he is hoping to tackle

where the administration is messaging very happenly in the last few days, they want to see that movement on the military dialogue. that will be interesting to see whether the chinese grant that or not. my sense is they will not. something to watch closely. >> christopher, as we're seeing the tensions between the defense officials, the diplomatic officials, president xi is certainly courting american investment. he's courting american business. >> yes. >> jamie dimon of j.p. morgan, elon musk, bill gates, they're in a meeting recently as well. fit the economic piece into this puzzle, because china is certainly having some economic struggles, and they want the money coming in. >> yes. >> while they are, you know, giving u.s., the administration the heisman. >> correct. that's been the most interesting dynamic, and of course, the visit by bill gates was not coincidental. from china's point of view. nor was xi jinping meeting with him and calling him an old american friend.

i'm doubtful that secretary blink en is going to be called an american friend. and it will be obviously very embarrassing if a major u.s. business leader meets with president xi jinping and then secretary blinken does not get that meeting. my sense is probably the chinese will probably let him me with xi jinping, but if not, that is very embarrassing. indeed, xi jinping himself, before he became president, when he was still the understudy before taking power in 2012, on a sort of state visit to the united states, he used this term that the economic relationship, the bilateral economic relationship is the ballast and propeller in u.s. china relations, in other words it undergirds the relationship, despite the tensions that we, have i think we have seen with the combination of china's tilt toward russia and three years of zero covid, the u.s. business community becoming much more skeptical and we've seen efforts to move supply chains out of china and so on and that is very worrying for the chinese leadership as you say it is a time of economic difficulty for them. and we've had crackdowns in

china on u.s. firms and the due diligence space, micron technologies, the semiconductor company and so on and the bilateral economic relationship which is very important in keeping the relationship running smoothly is now under pressure with a lot of tensions. >> again, the expectations have been set so low for this trip, we'll see what, if anything, comes out of it. christopher johnson, appreciate the expertise. thank you. still ahead, the death of three time olympic medalist tory bowie during childbirth is putting a spotlight on a tragic reality that disproportionately affects many black women. we will discuss next. whenever you're hungry, there's a deal on the subway app. buy one footlong, get one 50% off in the subway app today. now that's a deal worth celebrating. man,hat are you doing?! get it before it's gone on the subway app.

u.s. history. the 50-year-old shot and killed 11 people at pittsburgh's tree of life synagogue in 2018. the penalty phase begins later this month. bowers could face a sentence of life or life in prison without the possibility of parole. daniel elsburg, the whistle-blower who leaked the pentagon papers has died. he was 92. died from pancreatic cancer. he risked his freedom to share classified documents with "the new york times," and "washington post," during the nixon administration. the records painted a devastating picture of the war in vietnam and showed that officials knew the conflict was unwinnable. the government sued the newspapers, but in a landmark ruling, the supreme court found in favor of the media. also, some frightening moments for some passengers at boston's logan international airport, when the wing of a united flight clipped the tail of a delta plane. the faa says it happened friday night, when the united plane was taxiing and tapped the delta plane in the rear. one passenger on board the delta

flight said it felt like an earthquake and noticed the emergency vehicles were outside the plane. fortunately no one was injured in the incident. three-time olympic medalist tori bowie, who was just 32 years old when she died in may, was about eight months pregnant. and in labor at the time of her death. that is according to an autopsy report released this week, which lists respiratory distress and eclamsa as possible complications. the u.s. sprinter's death putting a spotlight on a tragic reality for black women. according to the cdc, the number of black women who died during pregnancy or after childbirth is more than twice as high as that of their white counterparts. joining us now is robin lloyd, she is a certified duola and a lead educate for parents as teachers a nonprofit organization in st. louis that provides free doulas to black women with a goal of bringing down this horrible maternal

death rate. thank you very much for your time. i want to get your reaction. i was reading some interviews that tori bowie's agent, kimberly holland, has been giving to other news outlets, she says bowie told her she didn't want to go to the hospital and she didn't trust hospitals and i know you understand where that distrust comes from. when you hear about how bowie died, what goes through your mind? >> well, one of main things that goes through my mind, when i hear that story, is that it's really sad that she had to die, because so many black women are dying because they don't have the education, they don't have the access, and they don't understand the importance of maternal health. and that fear of going to the hospital, that fear and that anxiety that so many black women

experience, during the birthing process, it is just disheartening, that her death could have definitely been prevented, if she had had some education and just understood, and had some support during the birthing process. >> yes, it's really heartbreaking, too, someone, myself, who has been through a near death experience, giving birth, and i know you as well, robin, i mean you nearly bled to death, right, 20 years ago? can you tell me about that? >> absolutely. i also had an experience where i wasn't being heard, i wasn't listened to, and it didn't matter that i was college educated, it didn't matter that i had a husband by my side, it didn't matter that i had access to great health care, it wasn't until my body started telling them that something was wrong before they did something to

help me. and that was one of the reasons that inspired me to become a doula, because that happened, my youngest daughter is 20 years old, and she's about to be 21, and what was happening then is still happening today. our outcomes should be getting better and not worse. >> there is systemic racism that's been imbedded, right, for decades, for as long as we can remember, and you as a black woman, now working as a doula, helping other mainly black women, why is that important? and how do you use your role to be a voice for them? >> so one of the most important things, i am so grateful, to be in this space, to support these black women in their birthing experience, i think one of the most important things that i do

as a doula is give them their voice, educate them, make sure that they stand up for themselves, because when they're standing up for themselves, they're standing up for their babies. they're speaking up for their babies. it is so important, knowledge is power. and it is so important that they understand what is happening in their birth space. educate them. make sure that they can ask those questions. have that relation with their care provider. making sure that it is a partnership. and understand that they have informed choices. making sure that they know that they have support. one of the things that i learned in my training, and that i talk about is bring byos, bring your own support. if you can't have a doula, make you have someone in there to support you. >> it is just the story, it is just so sad, that it just

underscores, you know, what so many black women go through and the fears that they face as women who want to become mothers. robin, appreciate you joining us on on this very important topic, thank you. still ahead, some doctors are prescribing weekend get-aways at a remote bay area cabin. sounds nice, right? we'll tell you why, next. has two layers of relief. 8 n the first is fast, the second is long-lasting. we give you u your day back, so you can give it everything. tylenol. number one doctor recommended for arthritis pain. we're talkiking about cashbackin. not a game! we're talking about cashbacking. we're talking about... we're not talking about practice? no... cashbacking. word. we're talking about cashbacking. cashbacking. cashbacking. cashck like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback?

>> tell me the origin of this. how did you get, or how doctors got to, from the diagnosis, to you know what, you need a weekend away? >> right. so it began with a national park prescription program a few years ago, and implementing it in 2019, and that's what it is, prescribing time outdoors. the providers know that the benefits of being out in nature can help with all of the chronic illnesses that a lot of the families, the family clinics have, and prescribing nature, one hour, twice a week, it is the doctor's order. >> that just sounds fantastic. it is so simple. but i mean, you know, forego the medication if you can, right, and try to first do the outdoors, and see how that

works. i would imagine demand would be high. how does a patient go from, you know, going to the doctor, for depression, or what have you, to getting this prescription in hand? >> right, a lot of the patients coming to the family clinics have stress, anxiety, and headaches, chronic dizziness, and when the doctor talks to them about the benefits of spending time outdoors, they begin to take it to heart and i help to make that clinic, making that clinic to heart connection. this experience, it is an amazing partnership with our post partner, the open space partners, that have offered this cabin for overnight experience, for those families that don't

have the opportunity or sometimes they are not even aware of this experience, and our doctors believe that this is something that they need, and it would help for not only physical well-being, but also their mental health well-being. and you're right, it has been a very successful and popular program. >> i mean this is obviously for some families with lower income, because people who can afford to just take a week away at a cabin, you tell them to go and do it, because they can pay for it. >> right. >> are there success stories where they're seeing the reversal of some of these health concerns, because people are not just getting a weekend at a cabin, but getting outside more often? >> right. yes, it's very exciting. all of the success stories that we hear from the families who have visited, they, many of

them, if not most, this is their very first camping overnight experience, and they just love it, and they can't wait to go back. they tell us that it was amazing, spending time with their kids, away from the cell phones, the electronics, the gadgets, they take a walk in nature, they have, they cook together, sometimes they cook and bake, whatever our families did, and they also, you know, they spend time as a family, and that's something that they realize that they don't have, and they miss, and this is a way for them to connect, to play board games, to play a mexican bingo game, and just be taking in the views, taking in the majestic for in any event is around this beautiful cabin. >> what a fantastic idea.

and i'm so glad to hear that so many families are reaping the benefits of just being together, and looking at each other eye to eye, putting the electronics away, and just connecting, you know. it's great. gloria, thank you very much for joining us. just ahead, the king of beers dethroned, bud light officially unseated as america's top selling beer for the first time in more than two decades. ...designed smarter. likeke a smart coffee grinder - that orders fresh beans fofor you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that... ...i need a breakthrough card... like ours! with 2.5% cashsh back on purchases of $5,000 or more... plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases! and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas... ...a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. the sleep number climate360 smart bed is the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms, and effortlessly responds to both of you
