BIANNA GOLODRYGA, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. Live from New York, I'm Bianna Golodryga. You are watching the second hour of "One World."

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DARIO AMODEI, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ANTHROPIC: The world in which things could go very seriously wrong is the world in which we -- we just keep

going without safeguards.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GOLODRYGA: Intelligence is in the spotlight and lawmakers are making demands and asking for some answers.

Also ahead, Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia have decided to avoid attacking each other's energy targets. What this means going forward?

And later, she's calling it a culmination of her life's work. Details on Oprah Winfrey's brand-new show.

And after warnings of catastrophic risks, we are now hearing calls to pump the brakes on artificial intelligence. That's all coming from A.I. tech

titans themselves. And all of this is rattling A.I.-linked stocks, sending them tumbling into the red.

Here's how some of them are faring right now. I see a red there you see across the board from NVIDIA to SpaceX to AMD.

Meantime in Washington, the Senate Minority Leader wants a big briefing on A.I. Chuck Schumer is calling for every senator, along with select members

of the Trump administration, to discuss an A.I. framework.

The democratic senator is pushing for accountability from the administration on Frontier A.I. testing.

U.S. President Donald Trump, meantime, is setting the tone for Republicans. He says winning the A.I. race with China is more important than reigning it

in.

At the center of all of this anxiety is one of the leaders of the A.I. race, Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, is urging other A.I. leaders to take

unified action to keep the technology from harming humanity.

Amodei told my colleague Anderson Cooper an exclusive interview over the weekend that widespread A.I. regulation is doable.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

[12:05:06]

AMODEI: Let's focus on our agency and our ability to take the right paths instead of the wrong paths. And I think that the way to take the right

paths is for the industry to work together.

If we go too slow, I still believe that the wrong people will be in charge of the technology. And -- and, you know, that, again, will bring the

probability of things going wrong very high.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GOLODRYGA: Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, have all discussed creating an A.I. industry standards body. And that's what CNN's Hadas Gold is hearing

from people familiar with the situation. She joins us now.

And leaders of all three A.I. platforms came out endorsing Amodei's concern. And also, as you are reporting, calling for some sort of

regulation, self-regulation, where they can all come into agreement on -- on how to reign and slow down A.I.

President Trump has different ideas. Walk us through what you're hearing from the tech world first.

HADA GOLD, CNN A.I. CORRESPONDENT: Yes, these calls for slowing down the pace of A.I. development are not new coming just from the past week. We had

that letter a few months ago where more than 1,300 staffers at the top A.I. companies asked for the government to help them regulate and slow down the

pace of the development.

What I've been hearing from my sources is that there has also been conversations about an industry standards body. Google, Anthropic, OpenAI

have all been having conversations over the last couple of months to set the sort of standards body.

It was prompted in part by Google DeepMind founder, Demis Hassabis, who in July wrote a very long essay about regulating the space where he suggested

a standards body modeled off of the financial industry regulatory authority that already exists for the financial institutions.

This would be a public private partnership overseen by the government funded by the industry, staffed by independent industry experts who could

help set some standards and would help set some safety testing as well.

And so this has been going on for several weeks, because keep in mind, there are no standards when it comes to A.I., when it comes to developing

these models. There are some laws on the books that you can apply.

When it comes to things like cybersecurity testing of an A.I. agent where we saw, for example, OpenAI's models hacking into another company systems,

there's no set standards or regulations on what those lab environments should look like. How strong should -- should those lab walls be, you know,

digitally, to prevent that sort of thing from happening?

And so these conversations are happening in the background. Of course, the calls have increased dramatically over the last couple of weeks and we are

getting endorsements. You know, rare agreement from all these rivals, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, all saying they agreed to another proposal

from Dario where he thinks there should be independent third party watchdogs embedded in all these companies who will also help monitor the

safety that's a little bit separate than this standards body.

Of course, all of this right now though, Bianna, is just talk. And we haven't seen any actual, you know, real action. That's the setup of this

industry standards body, naming a director, who's going to fund it? What are the actual rules going to be?

So, it's a question of, you know, everyone's talking about it. Everyone's really excited about it right now. When are we going to actually see action

on this in a way that will help us sway some of these concerns that are coming from inside the house?

You know, the researchers, the engineers themselves are terrified of what they are building. And so, when are we going to see some actual standards

in place where the industry says, OK, at minimum, this is going to be what we adhere to when we're at least testing these models so that, you know,

rogue A.I. agents don't next time go hack into some hospital or utility.

GOLODRYGA: Right. And as these executives have been sounding the alarm, technology is developing almost even faster than they anticipated. So,

putting in some of these measures would also take time. And this is all sort of a race against time to make sure that A.I. does not get out of

control and, at some point, will require Washington, one would imagine as well.

Hadas Gold, thank you.

Well, China, meantime, is pushing back on U.S. warnings about its A.I. power. The government spokesman says the world should build a A.I. that

helps everyone not compete or spread fear.

State media went further calling Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei's plan to pace development a cold war tactic against China. President Trump says keeping

ahead of China should be a main concern of those looking to regulate A.I.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We're leading China and A.I. We're the most sophisticated country in the world. And frankly, I want to

keep it that way because whoever wins A.I., wins.

And we can put guardrails. We can do this and that. But I think you have a lot of negative voices and they're bringing it up that you shouldn't be

bringing it up. And they're bringing up things that won't happen. But whoever wins with A.I., wins, you know. It's an expression that I came up

with that is true.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

[12:10:07]

GOLODRYGA: So which side is ahead in the A.I. race? The U.S. or China CNN's senior China reporter Simone McCarthy takes a look.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

SIMONE MCCARTHY, CNN SENIOR CHINA REPORTER: I mean, of course, this is a thorny issue on both sides, given how intense this A.I. competition is

right now. And frankly, how quickly China's A.I. models are nipping at the heels of their Silicon Valley competitors.

Now, that said, one of the things that's really struck me as we've seen this conversation really exploding in the United States in recent days in

terms of what are the risks from A.I. should we be slowing down its development is that there have been similar concerns raised in China from

government officials.

Now, the China media's ecosystem is very different from the United States, of course. So, we're not seeing the same level of public discussion about

this. China has also proposed an A.I. global security initiative where it wants to have A.I. governance and -- and China really to frankly take a

lead in that.

Now, the question is whether or not the U.S. and China are able to see eye to eye on this, that question of a treaty. We are expecting to see talks

between the two sides in the lead up to the visit from Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Washington later this month.

But there's so much mistrust on both sides. And we can take a listen to what China's foreign ministry had to say, specifically when asked about

some of the conversation in the U.S. over the weekend.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GUO JIAKUN, SPOKESMAN, CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY (through translator): The development of artificial intelligence concerns the commonwealth being of

all humanity. All parties should work together to advance A.I. in a manner that is open, inclusive, beneficial to all and oriented towards the good,

spreading various threat narratives and engaging in confrontation and malicious competition will only disrupt the global A.I. governance process

and serve the interests of no one.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MCCARTHY: It doesn't want to be seen as an act as a bad actor in this space. And instead, it very much sees itself as being constrained by the

U.S. because the U.S. wants to maintain its own lead.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GOLODRYGA: All right. Our thanks for that report.

Meantime, Tehran is criticizing the postponement of a meeting that it was supposed to have with Gulf nations today on the Strait of Hormuz to discuss

the management of maritime traffic.

It comes as Iranian proxies launched a fresh barrage of drones at Saudi targets. In recent days, the Houthi rebels have captured new ground along

Yemen's Red Sea ports that could help them maintain their chokehold over a key energy route.

Diesel prices, meanwhile, have hit a new record high. When asked about the war over the weekend, here's how President Trump responded.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: Look, it could end before the midterm, but it'll end after the midterm. Iran -- Iran -- I will tell you this, Iran wants to make a deal so

bad. They're calling constantly. They want to make a deal. They got to make it right. I'm not going to make a deal that's no good.

This will ultimately get out. Unless we decide to stay and keep the oil like Venezuela.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GOLODRYGA: CNN's Kylie Atwood joins me now from Washington. And, Kylie, what's made become quite clear even to this administration is that the

military war in Iran is nowhere near or looks nothing like what the United States pursued in Venezuela.

We are now six months into this war and new concerns about the Houthis' role in continuing to see a spike in oil prices over $100 a barrel now, now

that they've gained control over two islands there and really, really raising questions about perhaps another chokehold over the Red Sea.

Talk about how the White House is responding to this and reports from "Axios" that Mohammed bin Salman asked the United States to intervene and

President Trump reportedly said no.

KYLIE ATWOOD, CNN U.S. SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: Yes, that's right. We reported, as well as "Axios," that last week, it was Mohammed bin Salman,

the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who phoned President Trump two times in one day, asking the United States to carry out strikes against the Houthis,

President Trump declining to do so.

The backdrop being, however, that the U.S. is supporting some targeting support to the Saudis as they go after the Houthis, also some intelligence

support to them. So, there's not no U.S. support for this new undertaking that the Saudis are having to do as a result of the Houthis making strides

in the Red Sea and obviously presenting dramatic issues for the flow of oil out of the region.

But this is all the backdrop to what our conversations, of course, happening about how to get the Strait of Hormuz back up and running. And

the Trump administration, especially, believes that things are going OK there right now.

They have these military escorts that are getting some of these tankers out. And so they believe that in the short term, effectively, things are

going OK.

[12:15:01]

But it's the Gulf countries that don't think that this status quo is acceptable. That's why they've been working on this mechanism, particularly

led by the Omanis, discussing it with the Iranians to try and put together some sort of a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to regular tanker

traffic.

When you talk to Gulf countries, they don't believe that a pre-war status of the Strait of Hormuz is going to look like a post-war status. There is a

recognition that there's probably going to have to be some sort of mechanism to keep it safe, to make sure that the channels are open

correctly, potentially to charge fees. They might be voluntary fees. They might be required fees. That's a discussion underway.

But they were supposed to meet today in Oman to discuss this. That meeting got postponed. We don't know when that meeting is going to happen.

But when I talk to sources, they say that it's important that the Gulf countries are having these conversations because the Trump administration

isn't leading these conversations. They are focused on the military escorts, but they do know that in the long-term, there's going to have to

be some sort of grander solution.

And the Trump administration is quietly, you know, giving a green light, a tacit approval to those conversations happening while they focus on the

military element of what they're doing in the Strait of Hormuz.

But as you said, Bianna, this comes amid the backdrop of the Houthis gaining momentum in the Red Sea. And that is complicating all of these

discussions.

GOLODRYGA: Yes. And their benefactor, of course, being Iran, which is why many suspect that's why Saudi Arabia postponed these meetings now, given

their frustration and renewed attacks from the Houthis.

Kylie Atwood, welcome back. Thank you so much. It's great to see you. Congratulations on --

ATWOOD: Thank you.

GOLODRYGA: -- the addition of your little one. Really excited for you.

ATWOOD: Appreciate it.

GOLODRYGA: All right. Well, Donald Trump said on social media that both Kyiv and Moscow have agreed to stop hitting each other's energy facilities.

This after the U.S. president earlier blamed Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries for a global diesel fuel shortage. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: I've asked President Zelenskyy not to hit the diesel plants refineries.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is it potentially that Ukraine war could end? Is it potential that --

TRUMP: Wait a minute. Diesel is being driven up by the fact that it's having a hard time coming out of Russia. And that's the case that hurts the

world.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GOLODRYGA: This as Russian strikes came close to the Ukraine-Poland border put NATO's eastern flank on edge. Social media video shows people running

for cover as a drone strike hits a train station.

Two separate trains carrying former CIA Director David Petraeus and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson just narrowly missed the drone strike.

NATO Secretary General said Moscow is lashing out with reckless attacks.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MARK RUTTE, NATO SECRETARY GENERAL: The strike on a passenger train in Ukraine yesterday shows how desperate Putin has become. He thinks that he

can stop us from supporting Ukraine and that he can undermine our unity. He is wrong.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GOLODRYGA: Alina Polyakova is the President and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis. It's good to see you, Alina.

So, there we heard from Mark Rutte saying that Vladimir Putin is desperate, thus, resorting to these types of brazen attacks against NATO allies in

bordering countries. Is that how you view it, a sign of desperation from Putin?

ALINA POLYAKOVA, PRESIDENT AND CEO, CENTER FOR EUROPEAN POLICY ANALYSIS: Yes and no. On the one hand, of course, Ukraine has turned the tide on the

war by procuring and also being able to hit Russian targets deep into Russian territory, including on the energy side.

But these kinds of attacks, the -- the Russian side has been launching are inching closer and closer to a full out kinetic attack on NATO states.

The train attack that you were just discussing, Bianna, you know, it almost hit, as you said, former U.S. and European government officials who were in

Kyiv for a high-level conference. And there's no doubt to my mind that the Russian side was keenly aware that these individuals were traveling back to

Poland on that train.

And this was very much a shot across the bow and a threat to directly to NATO as well as Europe and the United States that Russia is more reckless,

more brazen and much more willing to keep pushing and escalating until they are stopped by force.

GOLODRYGA: You know, it's interesting because if you just look at face value, if you try to understand why we're seeing a spike in energy prices,

yes, the war in Ukraine and Ukraine attacking Russian refineries would impact that. But one has to, to quote Vladimir Putin, look at the root

cause for these strikes and understand that this was a war that Ukraine did not start and is now defending itself.

[12:20:06]

President Trump wants Ukraine to stop these attacks against diesel facilities. How much leverage would Ukraine lose if, in fact, they heeded

those comments and asks from President Trump? And what would they lose if they didn't?

POLYAKOVA: Well, look, the Russians are very good at understanding how to, I think, manipulate not just global energy prices, but also world leaders.

And they're seeing that right now in the United States and across the world, price of oil and energy is going up and up, and that's not making a

lot of people very happy. And so Mr. Putin has now placed an export embargo on Russian diesel through the end of the month, supposedly to stabilize

supply inside of Russia.

I don't want to underestimate how significant this is, given that Russia is one of the largest suppliers and exporters of oil, as well as gas, and at

the second largest diesel exporter in the world. And the fact that the Russian government now has acknowledged publicly that the Ukrainian strikes

are having such a profound effect that is causing shortages and about two- thirds of gas stations across Russia, and they have to put this embargo on.

This is huge leverage that the Ukrainian side has over Russia right now. And it's leverage that Ukrainians will need. There's going to be a

negotiation, as we've been hearing about yet again between Russia, Ukraine, as well as the United States directly.

If I were on the Ukrainian side, I would only take this as a signal that they should be doing more of these kinds of attacks, because it's

definitely putting the pressure on the Russians. And it's definitely making them feel the pain of the war in a way that they haven't felt before.

GOLODRYGA: But at the same time, this comes when Ukraine still needs U.S. support. So, what happens if you have President Zelenskyy defy President

Trump on his ask to stop hitting these refineries? What kind of position could that risk putting Ukraine in?

POLYAKOVA: Well, I think this should be part of the negotiating process, you know. We should say, OK, well, look, the Russian side has been hard

hitting not just Ukrainian civilians with accelerating attacks, not just on the eastern side and the southern side, but more recently, during the

daytime, on the capitol, on western Ukraine, hitting NATO member states, as we just heard about the train attacks that almost hit Poland.

We have seen a huge intensification escalation of Russian direct strikes in Germany. Just last month, there was an armed drone that was identified in a

major German airport in Leipzig that has been attributed to Russian intelligence servers. This is just one example of an intensifying set of

hybrid attacks happening across the NATO space where, of course, U.S. allies.

So, I think, to my mind, if Zelenskyy is very smart about this, he would say, we want nothing more than to stop attacking the Russian side. We

didn't ask for this. Let's actually have a negotiation where Putin is now in a position where he may have to negotiate, unless he wants us to

continue.

So, I think this is a point of leverage. This should be on the table if there is another negotiation.

GOLODRYGA: In response to these near-miss attacks that, as we noted, carried former officials, former CIA Director David Petraeus and Boris

Johnson, former prime minister of the U.K., Kaja Kallas says that Europe must show that it's not scared.

What should the appropriate response be, if any, from these strikes?

POLYAKOVA: I think this has -- this has been the big question. And I just want to say I'm very glad that General Petraeus and Prime Minister Johnson

are safe. The prime minister is part of my advisory group. I'm very glad that he is OK and everyone that was on that train, which wasn't just them

but many others, were not harmed.

I think this is a big problem for not just the E.U., but for all of NATO, that we have been admiring the problem. We have not called a spade a spade.

And what I mean by that is when you have kinetic strikes, these are not, you know, information, operations happening online. We have GPS signals

being jammed by the Russian side.

Ursula von der Leyen, who's the head of the E.U., her plane wasn't able to land some time ago because of Russian jamming of GPS capabilities.

Airports across Europe are being shut down on a regular basis now. People are being sabotaged and European -- sorry, infrastructures being sabotaged

on European territory. People are being assassinated.

This is not some sort of hybrid war. This is a real war. And it's time that the E.U., NATO, together with the United States, gets in the offense.

You know, there's a whole variety of tools that we can use, including cyber offensive capabilities, including energy sanctions, and yes, including

enabling Ukraine to carry out its long-range strikes into Russian territory that will send the signal that we're done just calling you out and taking a

backseat and just admiring the problem.

[12:25:24]

We're going to get ahead of this threat and we're going to get in the offense. And we're long -- long overdue to establish the lines and the

rules of engagement here.

GOLODRYGA: All right. Alina Polyakova, thank you so much for your insight. We appreciate it.

POLYAKOVA: Thank you, Bianna.

GOLODRYGA: Well, Israel's culture minister is calling for the citizenships of two Israeli filmmakers to be revoked after their documentary "NAZA"

received the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday.

The documentary which challenges official accounts of the Warren Gaza received a 24-minute standing ovation.

CNN's Jeremy Diamond has more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEREMY DIAMOND, CNN JERUSALEM CORRESPONDENT: Well, it's certainly not been well received here in Israel where they have faced a backlash of epic

proportions from the general public from a number of Israeli ministers. You referenced Israel's culture minister who called this action treasonous and

called for their citizenship to be revoked.

It's important to look at why there is such a backlash here in Israel. Obviously, first of all, it doesn't make Israel look good because the

central premise of this documentary is the notion that Israel tolerated, accepted, allowed for whatever term you want to use, for the killing of

large numbers of Palestinian civilians in Gaza in order to kill a much smaller number of Palestinian militants.

It goes after this notion of Naza, which is an Israeli military term used to talk about collateral damage, basically the number of civilians that

would be killed in a given Israeli strike.

I do have a short clip from the documentary to show you. This is one of the Israeli soldiers who testified, gave an interview anonymously to this film,

describing the targeting system that they used and how they would determine the number of civilians that might be killed.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DIAMOND: And that soldier is one of 24 Israeli soldiers who were interviewed as part of this film. All of them actively involved in the war

in Gaza, many of them intelligence officers who were involved in these targeting decisions.

That same soldier describes another incident when he's asked, you know, what the maximum number of civilians was that was allowed to be killed in

one of these strikes. He said that number was 500 civilians approved to be killed in a single strike that was targeting one Palestinian militant in

the Gaza Strip.

Now, the Israeli military, for its part, has said that it categorically rejects these allegations, reiterating that it takes steps in Gaza to

minimize harm to civilians. We've also just learned that the Israeli military's chief of staff held a meeting about it today, calling all of

this deliberate distortions of reality. And he called for investigations into the film and any of the soldiers who may have spoken to the filmmakers

as his course of action going forward.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GOLODRYGA: Thanks to Jeremy Diamond for that report.

And still to come on "One World," a woman in the U.S. dies from complications of measles. More on the outbreak that is sweeping through

Pennsylvania.

Also ahead, a big fat wedding is causing controversy. We'll have more on Donald Trump Jr.'s lavish affair in the Bahamas earlier this year.

And after nearly four hours of adrenaline on the court, the men's U.S. Open has a new champion. CNN speaks to him about the match just after the break.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[12:30:08]

GOLODRYGA: Heavy rain turned a New Jersey half marathon into an obstacle course on Sunday. Look at this. Runners trying to reach the finish line

found parts of the course underwater, some wading through waist-deep floodwaters just to keep their legs moving. These runners earning serious

bonus points for endurance. No kidding. Look at them go.

And at the U.S. Open on Sunday, German tennis player, Alexander Zverev, clinched the victory in the men's final, taking home his second career

grand slam. Men's top seed won a four-set match that went on for three and a half hours against the rising American star Ben Shelton.

CNN's Patrick Snell spoke to Zverev about what it felt like to come out on top.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

PATRICK SNELL, CNN WORLD SPORT: Well, many congratulations. You are holding a magnificent piece of silverware, but let's start with the moment you

clinched it.

You appeared to not initially realize you'd won the title. What -- what's going through your mind at that moment?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV, U.S. OPEN MEN'S CHAMPION: I thought -- I thought it was five-one. I thought it was five-one instead of six-two. So, I thought I had

one more game left, so I was quite focused. I was quite calm. But then I was luckily on the side of my team and they're all screaming that it's

over. So, I'm very happy that it was.

SNELL: They confirmed it.

ZVEREV: Yes, they confirmed it for me.

SNELL: What a moment that was. What a year it's been for you, Sascha. You win the French Open. Now, the U.S. Open.

At the start of the year, though, would you ever have dreamt it possible that you would go on to win not just one, but two Grand Slam singles

titles?

ZVEREV: Yes, of course. That's what you work for. But definitely, if you would have given me a paper to be in a season for one Grand Slam title, I

would have signed it. That's for sure. But standing here with two is -- is absolutely amazing and I couldn't be happier.

SNELL: You've spoken before about the scar tissue over the years, the doubts that creep in. Would you ever win a Grand Slam singles title, a

major? How do you reflect back on that now? And how high is the bar moving forward?

ZVEREV: Yes, it was funny. The scar tissue started here six years ago. But yes, I mean, I -- I definitely had tough moments, especially I think in

Paris, I had a lot of stress in me, but here I was just enjoying my time on the court because -- because I won in Paris already. So, it was much more

enjoyable. I had a lot of fun on the court and definitely happy with how I played.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GOLODRYGA: I love that he didn't even realize he won until he was told.

All right. Our thanks to Patrick Snell for that report. We'll be right back with more.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[12:35:37]

GOLODRYGA: In the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, a 40-year-old woman has died from complications associated with measles. She is the third person in the

state who have died from complications from the virus since the end of August. The woman had pre-existing conditions, and a family member had the

virus as well.

CNN's Jacqueline Howard has more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JACQUELINE HOWARD, CNN HEALTH REPORTER: When people typically think of measles, they think of it as a childhood illness, but this latest death

isn't a reminder that adults can be severely impacted too.

And what we know about this woman who sadly died, we know that she was not vaccinated, and like you said, she did have underlying health conditions.

She had COPD and asthma. And we hear that she was taking supplemental oxygen before getting measles.

And in a post on Facebook over the weekend, the Jefferson County Coroner Greg Furlong said in a quote, "This is a heartbreaking loss for the family

and an unfortunate reminder that measles can be a serious and potentially life-threatening disease."

So, this now means there have been three deaths total as part of this ongoing outbreak. The other two deaths were in infants. And in total, so

far, at least 676 people have gotten sick with measles from this outbreak.

And 124 people have been hospitalized. And while this outbreak is statewide, the epicenter is really in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. And

this is the first measles outbreak in the state in 35 years.

Keep in mind, in the year 2000, the U.S. eliminated measles, but we are seeing these outbreaks emerge in unvaccinated pockets of communities. We

know the best way to protect yourself against the measles virus is to get vaccinated.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GOLODRYGA: Thanks, Jacqueline Howard.

And still to come on "One World," we'll check in on the oil markets as gasoline prices in the U.S. rise even higher.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[12:40:17]

GOLODRYGA: All right. Let's take a look at how the markets are doing. As we said earlier in the day, all red, though the Dow has come back, it looks

like, from some of its lows of the day, just barely down one-tenth of a percent. The NASDAQ down three-tenths of a percent. Same for the S&P 500.

This is your business breakout.

All right. Microsoft is answering A.I. critics by drafting a code of conduct for its in-house artificial intelligence that keeps it under human

control. Among the rules for the A.I. model, never resists humans and communicate in an understandable way. The new code will get public

feedback, then be implemented in about six weeks' time.

King Charles will hold an A.I. summit this week aimed at bringing A.I. companies, government, and charities together. Representatives from the

major A.I. companies will attend, including NVIDIA, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. They're expected to discuss a shared set of principles in the

sector.

And traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains about 90 percent below pre-war levels, while President Trump insists the state of the waterway is

acceptable. It's costing Americans more at the pump. However, on Sunday, AAA data shows that the national average of gasoline is more than $4.30 a

gallon.

Let's discuss oil markets with David Goldman. He is joining us now from New York.

So, we've seen, once again, this spike any time. There's jittery news coming out of that region, David. We see spikes in energy markets.

This has a lot of concern specifically as it relates to Yemen and the role of the Houthis now engaging in the Red Sea. Just talk about what this all

means for consumers.

DAVID GOLDMAN, CNN BUSINESS SENIOR REPORTER: This was significantly higher, actually, earlier in the day. President Trump saying that he was maybe

willing to talk to Iran again had sent this just a little bit lower. But, you know, we're still at very uncomfortable territory.

Remember, oil was around $70 a barrel before the war and about a month and a half ago and so we are well above that.

What are they worried about? Well, they worry about this. Because you mentioned that the Strait of Hormuz has basically cut off, and that's been

true for quite some time. But one way to get around that is this East-West pipeline that Saudi Arabia has used to get oil that normally would go out

through the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. They would send that over through the Red Sea, through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.

Well, Yemen attacked that pipeline and now it's shut down, and that is a significant development because that pipeline is responsible for seven

million barrels of oil per day.

Now, around five million has been used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Two million has been used to get all of that oil to refineries. And that's key,

because what else do we know is going on with refineries? Ukraine is targeting refineries in Russia, and that has sent diesel prices here in the

United States above $6 a gallon, a record.

So, what can be done about this? Well, the good news is there are stockpiles to be used. There's about a week's worth of supply in Yandbu.

That's that big port city in Saudi Arabia.

But a week's only a week. And once a week is gone and you're not shipping any oil from here to there because the pipeline's blown up, well, then you

start seeing oil prices start going up way higher.

GOLODRYGA: All right. David Goldman, news none of us like to hear. Good to see you anyway though. Appreciate it. You're the --

[12:45:00]

GOLDMAN: You too. Thanks so much.

GOLODRYGA: And the great reporter that you are. All right. Thank you.

GOLDMAN: Aw, shucks. Thanks.

GOLODRYGA: All right. Well, a new investigation into some of the money, allegedly, behind Donald Trump Jr.'s recent wedding is now creating

controversy and prompting a response from his wife on social media.

"ProPublica" reports that a Russian oligarch with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin secretly bankrolled much of the lavish event,

which was held in the Bahamas in May. "ProPublica" identifies the oligarch as Umar Kremlev.

Earlier, CNN spoke to a reporter from "ProPublica" who helped break this story.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOSHUA KAPLAN, REPORTER, PROPUBLICA: This was an ultra-luxury affair. This oligarch rented out a private island in the Bahamas for it. He paid for

this extravagant Fourth of July-esque fireworks show out over the ocean, you know. So, this is hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses.

And what makes this even stranger is that Don Jr. met this guy only very recently. This is not some weird coincidence where his college roommate

happens to be a very generous oligarch. You know, even -- you know, in fact, until this story, the fact that there was a relationship there at all

was kept a secret.

And so exactly how and why this ended up happening is still very much a mystery. But what we do know is remarkable. This is a member of Putin's

circle financially supporting the son of the president.

JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: And inside Putin's circle, how close he's involved in sports, but also tied to -- to other organizations that have been

sanctioned by Ukraine?

KAPLAN: Yes. I mean, there's -- there's a lot there. I mean, right before Don Jr.'s wedding, he was not just, you know, making sure his suit still

fits. He was reportedly in China with Putin as part of the delegation accompanying Putin on a state visit.

A month before the wedding, Putin gave him a state honor personally. You know, when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the Ukrainian government

sanctioned Kremlin personally.

And so this -- this connection with the Russian government is a through line throughout this guy's whole life story.

GOLODRYGA: Now, Donald Trump Jr.'s wife, Bettina, posted a message on her Instagram just a short while ago. It was signed by the couple and said they

held a private wedding Friday and the weekend that followed had been planned well in advance.

They said their friend Umar hosted two nights of celebrations after the wedding calling it, quote, "An extraordinarily generous gift from a

friend." CNN has reached out to the White House on this story.

All right. Still to come for us on "One World," television standout stars are gathering for the primetime Emmy Awards. Coming up, a look at the top

contenders competing tonight.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[12:50:30]

GOLODRYGA: Call it a match made in heaven, Oprah Winfrey, and the excitement of Las Vegas, Nevada. The media pioneer plans to stage a series

of live performances at the Sphere. Now, this is all part of a production called "Oprah Winfrey's AHA," which references her famous aha insightful

moments.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

OPRAH WINFREY, U.S. MEDIA PIONEER: Actually, I would have to say this is the culmination of everything I've wanted to say my whole life to people,

about what it means to live in the world the space of your own humanity in a way that continues to lift you forward. And I know that there are

differences, and I know that we're all supposedly divided.

But what I know more deeply since I spent so many years talking to people from every walk inside and, you know, area of life is that what Maya has

said for years and that poem, we are more alike than we are different.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GOLODRYGA: Quoting Maya Angelou there. You'll have to wait until next year to see Oprah live in Vegas. The shows are scheduled from April 2nd through

the 4th.

And television's biggest shows and performers will vie for the industry's highest honors tonight at the Primetime Emmy Awards. CNN's entertainment

correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister breaks down this year's top contenders and the categories that could bring some surprising results.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ELIZABETH WAGMEISTER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: T.V.'s biggest night is being hosted by one of T.V.'s biggest stars. Mariska Hargitay from "Law

and Order" is the host for this year's Emmys.

Now, it's going to be a showdown between some of television's biggest series. "The Pitt" leads all nominations with 25 nominations going into the

night. "Hacks" not far behind with 24.

But let's first talk about "The Pitt," which is expected to dominate in the drama categories. "The Pitt" won for Best Drama last year and it's expected

to win in that category again, as well as its star Noah Wyle, who, of course, Emmy voters have known and loved since his days on "E.R."

Now, in his next medical drama, "The Pitt," he won for Best Actor in a Drama last year, likely is going to win again. His co-star, Katherine

LaNasa, who won last year in her category, is also expected to win on Monday night.

Now when we go over to the comedy category, here's where we could get some more surprises. "Hacks" has the most comedy nominations with 24, and this

is "Hacks" fifth and final season.

Typically, Emmy voters will award shows that are saying farewell with their final season. But this year, Apple show, "Widow's Bay" has been a late in

the game hit, drawing a ton of fans both online and also becoming a huge critical darling.

So, "Widow's Bay" could beat "Hacks" in the big comedy category, but Jean Smart is expected to take her fifth and final trophy for "Hacks" in her

category.

Now, fun fact, if Jean Smart wins, she will make Emmy history. She will become the only woman to ever win for every single season of the same show.

So, a lot to come. I will be on the red carpet. And I'll be backstage interviewing the winners all night. So, make sure to stick along with us

for all of our Emmy's coverage.

Back to you.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

GOLODRYGA: We'll be watching tonight. Our thanks to Elizabeth.

Before we leave you, we want to bring you this update, heavy rain left streets flooded and cars submerged in Westport, Connecticut on Sunday.

Emergency crews say they responded to a series of calls involving stranded drivers as roads became impassable. Flash flood warnings were declared in

the southern portions of Connecticut as well as Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey. Sunny skies today though.

[12:55:31]

All right. That does it for "One World." I'm Bianna Golodryga. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back with "Amanpour" after the break.
