| 0:00.0 | Hello from CNN, I'm Joe Beck, with the five things you need to know for Thursday, July 31st. |
| 0:07.5 | It's deadline day for countries wanting to make a deal with the U.S. before steeper tariffs come into effect tomorrow. |
| 0:15.0 | So far, we've seen the EU, the UK, Japan, South Korea, and other nations, come to a trade agreement, |
| 0:23.0 | or in some cases, a framework to come up with an agreement. |
| 0:26.9 | But there are still a lot of questions and pushback around some of those deals. |
| 0:31.0 | While things are still up in the air with economic powerhouses, Canada and China, |
| 0:35.1 | meaning President Donald Trump can't quite declare victory just yet. |

| 1:23.6 | no matter what this decision is. |
| 1:26.6 | Americans support for Israel's military actions in Gaza is dropping rapidly. |
| 1:33.4 | And it's prompting pro-Israel Democrats and some of President Trump's long-time allies |
| 1:39.0 | to warn that the country could permanently damage its standing in the U.S. |
| 1:43.4 | A Gallup poll released this week found that just 32% of American adults support Israel's |
| 1:49.3 | military actions in Gaza, a record low since the start of the war, after the Hamas terror attacks. |
