that altered my brain chemistry, new hands-free sketcher slipped >> it's likes lipids have an invisible built-in shoehorn. so my foot slides into place, mind blown will begin to sow with the powerful geomagnetic storm happening right now, the solar storm is classified as extreme luck level five out of five, it hasn't got to this level in more than 20 years and it is causing the northern and southern lights two decimal in many places that rarely, if ever see them we'll take a look at the sky above parts of florida a short time ago, quite a remarkable sayyed the burmese state north of the tropics most of the midwest and even the null than california region have had a high chance of

seeing the aurora. and the skies over the uk also lit up in vivid colors earlier friday night, parts of europe and asia are likely to have another chance to view the lights on saturday this southern hemisphere, the overall australia's were spotted over new zealand as well as argentina. of course it all started when the sun erupted with a series of solar flares and what's known as coronal mass ejections, launching particles directly at the earth when those particles reach the magnetic field and atmospheric creates this spectacular light shows that we're witnessing. while the lights are expected to reach their peak activities, our and into the morning until sunrise. the storm will likely continue throughout the weekend well the biden administration is closely tracking and storms it could disrupt communications, satellites, and power stations. electrical utilities, and making preparations. just in case what canada is no stranger to the

stunning views from geomagnetic storms. but this one is intense. cnn's paula newton is just outside the capital of ottawa was you might have guessed the northern lights are more of a common occurrence in canada and the storms, the solar storms do not even have to be as severe here as the one we are seeing now the issue though is here normally the kinds of colors that you're seeing in the sky or greenish or a milky green kind of colors. >> some people report seeing some blue. this time with these spectacular colors, many people across canada who do not have cloud cover, we'll be looking looking towards the sky and continue to look through the sky because of those spectacular colors that we are not used to seeing. the other thing people are keeping an eye on. of course, is whether or not there will be any disruptions through anything technical, whether it's the electrical grid or anything else in 1989 and the province of quebec? there was quite a

widespread power outage that scientists still study today. but back then, they did not have the satellite technology that they have now, they have reinforced those infrastructure grids, but also they have more sensors, more satellite technology. they know a little bit more about what is going it'd be happening with the solar storms and have a bit more of a prediction in terms of what will happen. so far, no disruptions throughout canada except people will be disrupted in their sleep as they continue to look skyward, looking for those spectacular colors paula newton, cnn, don robin, ontario i'm joined now by storm chaser at logan parham. >> hugh was lucky enough to capture this historic phenomenon in the comfort of his own backyard in hastings, florida. good to have you with us it's a pleasure so just describe what you saw, what you caught on camera well, i headed out there because i knew it was going to happen tonight and

there was at least somewhat of a chance and went out there, snapped a photo and realized that it was only going to get more intense and it just blew my mind completely and totally because this far south and florida, that's not something that, you know, we usually see ever definitely probably once in a lifetime event. so it was it was absolutely gorgeous. >> i mean, the colors are just really bright, pink and purple. what were your filming on? >> it's believe it or not, that was just my iphone right there. >> yeah. i might turn it down to open nia exposure, give it, give it longer time to let that light into the lens and it really draws out the colors. but i will say it being so dark out here, out in the country, you can actually see a lot of that pink purple with your naked eye. >> yeah, exactly. not around any sort of high-rises that my impact, what you're saying. and of course you typically chase hurricanes and tornadoes. have you ever chased the award before?

>> no i've never really considered it or given any thought, but i definitely would now and i just happen to be lucky enough to have one here and it is the first time for me and it was definitely a a unique experience that i would love to do again, for sure and as of course, like, how does this compat they sort of images that you took to what you've captured in the past, where you chasing these quite dramatic storms well i will say, it, was a lot more calm than what i'm used to. >> so that was it was a good switch up, no doubt. >> but i lose just beautiful and again, like you said, i've seen some very violent weather some, some truly impressive things out there. but this was just totally mind-blowing, totally unexpected. and it's, it's up there on my list for sure and sorry, ligand is this like storm chasing your day job? >> is this or this is the hobby? just describe your

background for us so so right now it's, it's kind of a hobby. >> i'm working on getting it to the point where it could be my job. i'm actually in school right now, working toward my meteorology degree. so to kind of build that foundation and whatnot, but that's the ultimate goal. so i've been doing it for quite a few years now. >> and so what do you know about this geomagnetic storm cell and just how unusual it is obviously, you wouldn't have say one probably knew last time it's at least 20 years since the last major solo song what do you know about this? >> so i'm going to be completely honest with you. i don't know much. i just i heard some few other friends of mine who are talking about it and i was like, you know what, i guess if there's a chance, let's go see it of course, i specialize and atmospheric whether so it was there was a difference, big difference. >> yeah, it's i mean, this shot. see you got would just amazing how long ago did you

come inside and i shame you probably go back out again tomorrow night thank you yes and, now that i've researched a little bit more about it, i'm definitely going to keep my eye out. >> i've already pumped out. there are a few more times i haven't seen anything yet. we've been a little bit to cloud covered from some storms that went through here a little bit earlier. but i'm keeping my eye out for sure. and it's definitely a beautiful experience so if any of your friends or anyone still awake right now in florida, can i see it if they go outside i believe that certain areas may be able to it's really dependent on cloud cover. >> and of course, a lot of people get caught up on the cloud cover, but they forget to remember light pollution so if you live near a big city or your turn off your porch lights, look up, get that view away from those city lights. if you can help it. and that's going to maximize your chances seeing that so we got some

great sets, their logan time. >> thanks for staying up in the early hours of the morning with as much appreciate it. >> absolutely. thank you, guys so much we will continue to keep an eye on this solar storm. >> but after the break, i'm going to take you at two manhattan and have a look at how prosecutors is setting the stage for donald thompson fixer testify in the hush money trial oscar pistorius was at the absolute peak of his celebrity in olympic heroes, shoddy murder trial, we learned of a much darker individual. how would really happen with jesse l. martin sandi, nine on cnn? let's try this again. what do you see? >> my first step is to open houston second championship. sall's not winning a championship. >> giddy. let's try and stay positive or positive. he didn't win a ring oh, my god ocd is more than what you see on tv. >> and in the movies, it comes

preferred better science, better results. i'm in paris and washington, and this is cnn a ban into kincaid, israel's security cabinet has approved an expansion of the area of curation and rafah than 1 million displaced palestinian

civilians have taken refuge there. >> in addition to the population who lived there before the conflict you white house report says it's quite reasonable to assess that israeli forces have used us weapons in gaza in ways inconsistent with international humanitarian law. the report stopped short of saying israel violated international law, but it's sharply critical of the toll in gaza. part of the report says, well, israel has the knowledge, experience, and tools to implement best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations the results on the ground, including high level of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions as to whether the idf is using them effectively in all cases us law prevents washington from providing weapons to security forces credibly accused of gross human rights violations cnn's jeremy diamond is in jerusalem with the latest on israel's operations in gaza well, the writ of between the

united states and israel over a potential major israeli ground offensive into rafah is showing no signs of narrowing one day after president biden threatened to withhold additional us weapons shipments to israel if it proceeds with an all-out ground offensive into rafah, the israeli security cabinet greenlighting a quote, unquote, expansion of the area of operation in rafah. >> that's according to one israeli official who i spoke with now, this decision by the security cabinet effectively empowers the israeli war cabinet. that's smaller group that has been and making the major decisions about the conduct of the war in gaza. it empowers the war cabinet to expand military operations and rafah to make decisions about that military expansion. this is not an indication of an imminent expansion of israeli military activity in rafah, although it is clear that israel does intend to do so, the question at this point is when and how big will that expansion be? president biden made clear that he's talking about on all-out offensive one

that would impact the major population centers in rafah. the most densely populated areas where some 1.4 million palestinians are currently sheltering many of them displaced from other parts of gaza, sometimes once, twice, three times, even. >> now, what we are already witnessing on the ground though, is significant. >> the israeli military is calling it a limited military operation in eastern rafah that has resulted in the closure of the rafah border crossing, which is in that area of eastern rafah. but even that limited middle military operation is already resulting in major impacts on the ground. unrwa estimates that some 110,000 palestinians have been displaced from rafah, forced to flee north and what they're finding when they do go north, art conditions that humanitarian aid official say simply aren't adequate for the number for of people who are flooding into that humanitarian zone as the israeli military is calling it, this is the al-mawasi area it is sandy. it is a coastal area and there's

simply is not running water in many parts of this area. there's no sewage, electricity, and people are really being forced to live intense and makeshift shelters on the sides of the road. now, we know that this situation is already bad, but there's warnings now from the united nations that the situation could get that much worse. the united nations secretary general, antonio guterres warning that this will be a quote, unquote, epic humanitarian disaster if the israeli military proceeds at all our military offensive in rafah. jeremy diamond, cnn jerusalem with the united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly approved a measure cooling on the security council to reconsider palestinian membership the voigt was 143 to nine with 25 countries abstaining the measure also grants the palestinian authority new rights and privileges at the un they won't have a vote, but they will be able to submit and

introduce proposals and amendments all our flag flies high and proud in palestine and across the globe and on the campus of columbia university it has become a symbol raised my, all those who believe in freedom. and is just ruled by all those who can no longer stand idly by in the face of such utter injustice before the via the us vowed to again vaso any bids palestinian statehood that is brought to the security council ukraine's president

says russian advances have been stopped for now after moscow launched a new ground offensive in the kharkiv region, that's in northern ukraine as opposed to the east and the south where most of the recent fighting has been happening. >> ukrainian sources say russian troops swept across the border friday, advancing up to five columbia but as in one area residents of some border villages would later evacuated at least to civilians were reportedly killed. ukraine says it's second largest city, kharkiv is not in danger of falling present as linsky says, fierce battles are underway and the situation is serious hello, name, kotb. >> the main focus is the kharkiv region. russian forces today attempted to expand operations against ukraine we understand the extent of the occupiers forces see their intentions. our soldiers, our artillery, our drones respond to the occupier bond well, most of the military aid to the us has been given to ukraine recently, is now headed to

kharkiv, and that is according to us defense secretary who spoke about it on friday may have to be redistributed to the point of need and that point of need is going to be determined by, by the ukrainian they believed that there most urgent need is in kharkiv area. >> then certainly that's where there they're going to begin to put most of most of the resources that we're providing austin spoke hours after the us approved $400 in new aid for ukraine. >> the package includes ammunition that patriot air defense systems what do you kind desperately needs amid a constant bij of russian missiles and drone strikes jill dougherty is a form is seen in moscow bureau chief and an adjunct professor at georgetown university. she joins us from washington, dc, good to have you with us, jim thank you so this war has long been waged in the eastern south. now russia has opened a new front in the northeast. or ukraine's president calls it a new wave

of counteroffensive how would you describe this development? >> well, it's significant. >> eat, appears that it's not really that clear exactly what the final objective here is, but it is significant because it does pull, as you were pointing out we could pull ukrainian troops from the east where they'd been fighting putting and turn to hold on as the russians move in. and then pull them up to the north, northeast where how to get his and so it does is a shift and it comes as i'm sure, we will discuss in the midst of this delay in getting aid from the united states? yeah, exactly. i want to get to it in just a moment, but i just when i ask you what this could mean for their city of kharkiv, which is i'm to about 1.3 million people. let's see, ukraine's second largest city, because ukrainian forces or officials rather have repeatedly said that they don't believe russia has the capacity to take that

entire city. do you agree? and if not, what is russia's strike? strategy here well, it appears that with the number of troops that they have, the russians, it would be difficult if not impossible to take the city that doesn't mean that they couldn't begin to eat away at the process and then bring in more troops if there were a successful. >> but you know, there's another sayyed to this, which is really the psychological side of it. if you have done boss and then you have the other part of ukraine, this aerial bombing of energy sources for the ukrainians is very, very disturbing. and if you begin to bomb or attack a city like had gave, it's psychologically very, very difficult for people to put up with this. i think that might be part of it, part of their rationale. >> yeah, that makes sense of course. you mentioned the a the us today is announced this new

$400 million military aid package to ukraine. we know that ukraine says it will deploy it to kharkiv as it sees fit the third aid package in as many weeks, but this comes after months and months of delays how has those delays impacted ukraine's ability to defend itself? and what will this latest aid package mean it's been really significant problem. >> i mean, essentially the us congress was waiting around and non-passing this for half a year, six months and so what's happened is let's talk about the donbass area in the east. it's been very difficult for the ukrainians to hold on. they simply don't have the equipment and certainly ammunition is a huge problem. the russians, as we know, we're getting ammunition from the north koreans. they're getting drones from iran. and so without that the ukrainians have really suffered now that they're getting it, they need it as quickly as possible.

well, yeah. but i think that is really set them back and we know ukrainian commanders have said that they have been expecting a soma offensive. >> but according to ukrainian military source, who spoke to cnn, they said this particular assault was unexpected. what does that mean that ukraine's preparedness well you're right, they did think something was going to happen and ukrainian intelligence new are predicted that something like this would happen exactly where i'm not quite sure what they thought or where it would come. >> and that's why it's a little unclear about the the entire let's say, ultimate aim of this. i think you could define two. one would be exploiting this window of opportunity before the weapons from the united states get into the field, the russians push as far as they can and do as much damage. but it's also i kind of mentioned is to pull away ukrainian forces from donbass

and bring them up to how to give. and that weakens of course, protection on the east. >> yeah, you make really good point until dot has always good to get your perspective and analysis. thanks so much sure what justin to cnn, the israeli military is ordered the immediate evacuation of several more naval. it's in eastern rafah. the idf posted on social media that evacuees should immediately head to the expanded humanitarian area in al-mawasi while than 100,000 palestinians have already fled rafah. and we will bring you more details on this as we get them well prosecutors in donald trump's hush money trial are closing in on wrapping up their case, but not before some bombshell testimony to kick off their final week cnn's kara scannell has the latest from

new york prosecutors star witness michael cohen is expected to testify on monday in former president donald trump's hush money trial. cohen, trump's former attorney and fixer. is that the crux of the criminal case against him prosecutors say cohen paid off adult star stormy daniel's on trump's behalf to kill her story of an alleged affair before the 2016 election, trump denies the affair somebody pays to lawyer and then paying so it was a legal expense that somebody happened to be meeting. i didn't do the bookkeeping. i didn't know about it. this is what the case is about cohen told his political beat down podcast co-host on thursday that he looks forward to testifying sooner. this thing starts, the sooner this thing finishes. after a defense request, judge juan merchan told prosecutors he wants go to keep quiet about the case before he takes the stand, but he can't issue a gag order on a witness something

trump expressed frustration about as he left court there is no gag gotten to michael. >> what did you actually did? >> who is amazing? why was amazing? everybody can say whatever they want they can say whatever they want i'm not allowed to say anything about anybody it's a disgrace prosecutors called witnesses to the stand to help lay the groundwork for cohen's upcoming testimony in at&t analysts introduced cohen's phone records and back on the stand, trump's former white house aide, madeleine westerhout, testified about trump's reaction to the release of daniel story in 2018 westerhout testified trump was upset by it and her understanding was that it would be hurtful to his family. >> she later clarified trump did not specifically speak about his family in that conversation. trump's lawyers suggested he made the $130,000 hush money pay off to daniel's in order to protect his family? meanwhile, prosecutors argue he did it to influence the 2016

election, which was two weeks away, and came on the heels of the access hollywood tape damaging his campaign and when you're a star, they let you do it. >> you can do anything, but it trump's lawyer, susan necheles is as westerhout about the process of trump signing checks. >> westerhout said trump would sign and then while multitasking, doing things like talking on the phone or meeting with people, she described fedex the sign checks back to the trump organization. prosecutors used westerhout to show the chain of command of checks, like the one sent to cohen to reimburse him for the hush money cohen testified before congress about the allegations in 2019 donald trump wrote you a check out of his personal account while he was serving as president of the united states of america, to reimburse you for hush money payments? yes, mr. chairman another witness, a paralegal at the district attorney's office, read one of trump's tweets about the monthly payments to cohen, which trump called a retainer trump said,

mr. cohen and attorney received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign, and having nothing to do with the campaign, the tweet came around the time his former lawyer, rudy giuliani, told fox news host sean hannity that trump reimbursed cohen for the hush money that cohen paid for it out of his own i'm pocket having something to do with paying some stormy daniels woman and 30,000 i mean, which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal that money was not campaign money. they funneled the true law firm, funnel through and the president repaid it. >> now this capta week, were the jury saw the documents that prosecutors say were falsified in this case, the invoices, the general ledger entries, and the checks. they also heard from the woman stormy daniels. that's at the center of the hush money payment next week, it will be michael cohen's squaring off against the man he said he would once take a bullet for prosecutors, say they could read their case by the end of the week kara scannell, cnn, new york what do

welcome back. i'm kincaid. >> well, this of war is happening now in the western hemisphere are expected to reach their peak this hour and into the morning it's of course the result of that powerful geomagnetic storm it's really the strongest of its kind in more than 20 years and it's led to scenes like this in the state of georgia. governments and electrical company is monitoring the situation for potential disruptions the storm could potentially impact communications, satellites and power grids. the light phenomen was caused by a series of solar eruptions that held particles directly at the we're seeing is chad mies is more on the historic solar storm and where you might see the auroras right? >> so everybody wants to know whether it's gonna be visible, where i am, right? it will be visible across most of north america, maybe not all the way down to the gulf coast, but

it'll be close. >> and it's not a one-day event. >> so even if you have cloud cover tonight you will still be able to see it tomorrow because there's more than one coronal mass ejection on the way so what is it? well, it's just a ball of plasma that's being shot at the earth. these things happen all the time, but rarely do we have them that go straight at the earth. think about how big three-dimensional couldn't go that way, could go to the bank act, could go depends on where the sunspot is. well, we know this is coming toward the earth because of what we call the halo effect. when you see the cloud mass kind of come out of this. this is the sun right here. this is the sun being blocked by a disk, but when you see the coronal mass ejection come this way, it's like looking at somebody blowing smoke ring at you, you know, it's coming and you know, it's on its way. that's the same idea, same kind of smoking that we're seeing. so yes, we have more than one still coming. so overnight a big ones still landing on the earth's atmosphere. and we are still seeing that really bright, colorful cloud all the way

around the globe typically, the only place you're not seeing it is where it's sunny, where the sun is already come up and you can't see it, but it was very, very spectacular somewhere around, i would say maybe one z, one zulu time greenwich mean time somewhere around 9:00, not quite 9:00 on the east coast of the us but it was still light. we couldn't see it in north america. but another one and then another one and another one. this is still going to be going for quite some time. this is what the solar wind looks like. i don't want you to think of it like the seismograph in when you're looking in california and you see the earth shake. well, the sun wasn't shaking at all. the solar wind was doing just fine, being nice and flat. but then all of a sudden around two, 30 or two 40, this afternoon, the earth began to shake, literally and so did the solar wind. and it came in very, very quickly, get this number around your brain. 1.6 million miles per hour. that's how fast this solar wind is coming. aurora is seen farther south with a g5 big number.

this is five out of five. this is as big as we get. >> there are still levels of five but g5, we're already up their power outages are likely and also satellite disruptions are also likely. so yes, it's certainly possible. so aware, the red coronas and then the most common are the green. this is what we see all the time across parts of canada, but the less common are the purples and the reds. we are seeing a lot of them tonight well, i want to join when welcome dr. ed blumer, who joins us from london, he's an astronomer at the royal observatory in greenwich. >> good to have you with us that's very much for having me. >> so this is a ones and a two decade events. >> are these dua magnetic solar storm, just explain for us exactly what is happening so i mean the sun is constantly doing something. it's a giant nuclear pharmacy and it's, and it's very active and it's producing a solar wind of charged particles. and they

interact with the earth's magnetic magnetosphere. their guided along the magnetic field lines. and so charging up particles up in the upper atmosphere we see aurora however, what's happening in the moment is that we're getting something that is very, very active. we're seeing coronal mass ejections, sourcing a flood of charged particles that are hitting the magnetic sphere. and that means that we're getting a lot of a rural activity and we're seeing it much further south that we would usually see it these solar storms are sceptical, they happen, or they could happen every 11 years, but this is a g5 storm. >> oh, what does that level maintenance the highest. what does that rating mean? >> well, it's an attempt to quantify what the impact is. and when you have something like a g5, then there's enough going on. there's enough activity that you, add enough disruption to their

magnetosphere that you can get things like radio outages and it, also suggests that there's going to be enough of an issue that you might have to put things like satellites into safe modes that it can induce charges in electronic equipment and therefore, you, electronics aren't hardened against this sort of thing that you might have to do for a while. so it was really measure of the potential disruption that these this space weather can cause i was wondering what impact they could be on the international space station because i was i was looking at a nasa is fade and iss fade eleia, trying to see if they had posted are published. >> any images of the view from there yet to see anything. what sort of impact going to be having of there well, i mean, one positive thing might be that they might get some pretty

nice view. they're looking down on the earth. and so the international space station, quite often publishes really beautiful pictures of arolla again, things like disruption to telecoms. it could cause not just the iss, but finished parts around the world to have a bit of a signal blackout. but this is not a dangerous thing for them. >> and of course the sun has these solar flares, these powerful eruptions from the surface at what speed are they heading towards earth right now? >> hundreds of kilometers a second. this, this is fast stuff and highly energetic stuff again, short window mean it really is it's like when you're on it apps and flows but yeah, the moment it's fast, hundreds of kilometers per second and i understood you

lectures that we're witnessing. it's giving many places the chance to say r4 is that rarely, if ever, get a witness them well, the storm will likely continue through the weekend and could cause communication and power disruptions. the white house says it's keeping a close eye on any possible impacts from this rare solar storm, including disruptions to communication and gps systems cnn's brian former explains what could happen the good news is if you're an average cell phone user, this solar activity may not affect your devices very much. the exact reasons for that are really interesting. and it gives you a fascinating glimpse into how our everyday technology really works. not to mention the science behind this storm as you've been hearing all de, the sun has been sending radiation toward earth that interacts with our magnetic sphere. that's what's causing these auroras everywhere. and a byproduct of all that can be fluctuations in the upper atmosphere that scatter or even block radio transmissions in certain specific frequencies. now this shouldn't interfere with cellular signals because

those run on different frequencies than the ones we're talking about here. your calls and mobile data should still go through. but what can these storms effect while the list includes satellites in orbit as well as any signal trying to reach them. r2, the ionosphere that's the upper layer of the atmosphere. we were just talking about. >> so that could mean glitchy or less accurate gps readings on ships or airplanes. >> but again, cell phone gps might be less affected because phones usually rely on cell towers in addition to satellites to get a location fix. >> now, shortwave radios will likely have issues. >> that's because in order to increase their range, people typically try to bounce them off the underside of the ionosphere with the these storms that obviously gets a lot harder, lots of commercial businesses and government agencies use this type of communication. and so do amateur ham radio operators. all of these users could be affected. now there is one way in which the storm could indirectly affect your electronic devices, and that's if the disruptions caused widespread power grid issues utility come but he say they're

monitoring the situation and are prepared. but storm watchers have upgraded this to the most intense level that exists in the government's classification system. and that could mean overloaded transformers and grid disruption if that happens, it could cut power to cell towers, datacenters in other critical infrastructure. but then it just becomes more of a garden variety power outage problem. not really a direct issues stemming from the solar storm and all of these providers have backup generators. so any interruptions and self-service should be limited if it happens at all. the bigger problem for monday so as and that scenario, it'll probably be how to keep our devices charged. brian fung, cnn, washington well, prince william has given a rare health update on his wife catherine, the princess of wales. >> he says kd is doing well following her kansas diagnosis will be made the comments during his visit to a community hospital, if the cornice coast in southwest england on friday when stuff asked about her the
