doctors preferred better science >> better results i'm kevin lived ttac at the white house and this is cnn hello, and welcome to our viewers joining us from the united states and all around the world. by max foster just ahead the massive landslide in papua new guinea, berries thousands of people alive. we are in the region with the latest on search and rescue efforts violent storms sweep the central united states, leaving several dead homes leveled thousands without power, and millions more are at risk as the severe weather moves plus, no place is safe and israeli airstrike on tense in a makeshift camp in rafah kills dozens of palestinians. israel says it was targeting a hamas compound we, begin this hour in

papua new guinea, where the death toll from last week's massive landslide now appears far worse than initially feared in the lessor to the united nations and emergency officials says as many as 2000 people were buried alive. the united nations migration agency has said the landslides swallowed up more than 150 homes with debris spread across an area as large as four football fields rescuers are still searching hoping to find more survivors. the landslide hit a remote region of the country and the middle of the night early on friday, with this. now, chris janson, the national director for world vision poppaea of papua new guinea. thank you so much for joining us. chris. i mean, the figure is horrendous. we are reporting on it last week but the rescue workers have clearly really realized the scale of the devastation yeah. >> absolutely. look, this is an absolutely tragic event to

remote, beautiful part of new guinea, but it's saying its fair share of tragedies with tribal fighting and other challenges related to development issues. but yeah, this is a landslide of massive proportion the moment we're looking at confirmed either figure of 670 is you mentioned from the un with 150 households there's estimates of up to 2000 people at the moment. we're still really not sure and your heart goes out to families and those impacted by this we're working with the government on the ground to provide supplies medical assistance, and other requirements when we look at the images, the aerial images, and the rescue workers on the ground. >> you didn't see any signs of a village or a town at all? it seems like compounding this tragedy is that the all that

soil, all those rocks landed in just the wrong spot. >> look, i don't think you could you could make this up. this quite, quite astonishing. and a whole mountain is literally falling on. so many households. >> middle of the night, 3:00 in the morning. >> imagine that your life's going on in an instance, it's, it's an absolutely tragedy. i think also twos are mentioned the there's other issues related to hear this land sayyed has interrupted the main highway and progress highway right nearby here it sounds 60 kilometers from the provincial centre a long way from the capital city and port moresby. and that highway is the main lifeline for economic activities and others such activities. so we're looking at bringing in heavy equipment. but what do you do when the landslide is still moving? this is we can't we can't further

credit problems with land that's still moving. so we really got to be very careful about the response. now yeah, you're talking about the bravery of those workers knowing that there could be more rocks to fall down as well, and then just using sticks and what we can see because as you say, the road is closed, so you're struggling to get anyone in and the equipment absolutely. >> unlike with world vision here, we've got a strong focus on children. >> and so when we're looking at how we can get what are the needs of those families. one of the survivors those children that are still there, what's their hope for their future? the situation is dire, but we still have hope that we can in reach out to those that are hopefully still surviving and then we start to look at recovery. how do we help those that are still there? they need housing, they need shelter, they need food ongoing medical care yeah. looked at the needs are many. were there to help

obviously, when this immediate part of the mission is over, there'll be big questions about how it was allowed to happen, how this development was allowed to be exactly in that spot when there was a clear risk yeah. look, i think that's a good question. i think with people like leave in png, i leave in their traditional home land, it's where they belong. it's where they come from. >> and so people would have lived there for a very long time. >> we have to look at what caused this. their engineers at the moment through the provincial it will throw these national government also the defence force that are assessing this situation to say, hey, what did cause this there has been larger earthquakes in recent times in the last couple of years in this region there's no reports of earthquakes. this time. but we did have quite a lot of rain. we've got a lot of in climate unseasonal weather happening across p&g. this flooding in other provinces, we've got a lot of challenges

here, probably exacerbated by climate change where things are changing and where adapting to different circumstances. so we'll do further assessments and analysis and be able to try and figure out what caused this, but yes, we're so literally worried that with the right proper around disaster resilience, we could have actually save some lives, but pick an iowa, it's great enhance side, but at the time probably not something anyone expected. >> okay. chris janson, appreciate your time. thank you. we're going to turn out to the us where more than 120 million people across the country face the risk of severe weather in the coming days on this us memorial day, a deadly storm system expected to continuous path of destruction tornado watches are in effect across ohio. the ohio and tennessee river valleys impacting nearly 5 million people. arkansas oklahoma texas, amongst some of the hardest hit stays after to severe storms and possible

tornadoes tore through the area late on saturday night more than half 1 million homes and businesses are without power and at least 18 people have died in four states that includes four children in cooke county, texas, where a tornado hit overnight. that's just north of dallas, texas. governor greg abbott visited one of the hardest hit cities in cook county on sunday the survey, the destruction we will piece our lives back together, get back to business. >> we will families that there's only one thing that cannot be rebuilt. and that's the loss of life. that's why we always stress to everybody. whatever you do in any type of storm put life first, protect life. that whatever call she can because life is irreplaceable. >> soon as ed lavandera has more from valley view, texas residents are cleaning up the destruction that was left by a tornado that shredded its way through this part of north

texas near the little city of valley view, north of the dallas, fort worth area. >> you can see some homes just destroyed and absolutely he leveled throughout the day, we've seen dozens, if not, hundreds, of residents, just cleaning it all up in some cases like this, bringing in heavy equipment to just bulldoze the debris away. it has been a devastating day and evening for many of the residents who live here. the storm in this area killed at least seven people. the sheriff here tells us that four of those seven victims were under the age of 18 two of them are two and five years old. so just simply devastating, heartbreaking news that so many people are dealing with right here. but we spoke with a number of people who wrote out to the storm inside of makeshift says storm shelters that had been built on their own to protect themselves from this, is that they could feel the pressure dropping, everything starting to violently shake is the storm ripped through here and they

knew in the dead of night that when they woke up and emerged from these shelters or wherever they were seeking cover that it was not going to look good and that is exactly what has happened, but the extent and the length of the damage here in this particular storm system is quite devastating as well, not only in this subdivision south of valley view, but there was a convenience store that collapsed. several people had to be rescued out of that. there's also a marina at a nearby popular lake on this memorial day weekend that was shattered by the storm system as well. so just a devastating seen that many people are having to deal with on this memorial day weekend and the deaths have been extended. extensive into oklahoma, arkansas, and missouri, as well. so this storm system really wreaking havoc in the overnight hours leading into this sunday of a holiday weekend, just a devastating scenes that we're seeing play out and unfold here wherever we look at lavender cnn near valley view, texas millions without power impulse of bangladesh and india, where

trump can psych a tropical cyclone a remal made landfall late on sunday. >> the first cycler, the year brings the threat of wind gusts of up to 135 kilometers per hour. potential landslides, storm surges of nearly four meters authorities in bangladesh raise the storm danger signal to his highest level for two ports and nine coaston districts along the bay of bengal officials say more than 1 million vulnerable people across both countries have been evacuated from homes ahead of that storm, the site plan continues to move north and it's expected to weaken as it gets further inland the gaza health ministry says at least 35 people have been killed in an israeli strike in the southern city of rafah, gaza officials say the strike hit a camp filled with tents for those displaced by the war. and cause a fire that left many people injured with burns. the

israeli military claims it was targeting a hamas compound and killed two senior hamas officials. nauta has been looking at this. what do we know about the compound? are the tent area look like? >> this was an area known to be housing thousands of palestinians who have been displaced to rafah, as we know, more than 1 million were displaced to this southern city. and this was an area known to be filled with tents for those that had been displaced. in fact, we have seen some parts of rafah, particularly in the east, which were ordered to evacuate by the israeli military ahead of what is expected to be ground offensive. this was not one of those areas. this was supposed to be a safe zone, but it was targeted last night and the video, the images that we have seen coming out of the teller sultan neighborhood, which is the particular area that was targeted are distressing. they are graphic, many of them we cannot show because they are simply too graphic. these are some of the most horrifying videos i personally have seen over the last seven months of this will we've seen footage

of charred bodies being pulled from burning tense. we've heard from some humanitarian organizations, including doctors without borders, saying that they have seen an influx of patients are coming in with severe burn injuries. the health ministry in gaza says, it's simply does not have the prosity in rafah to care for all of these patients. now, as you mentioned, the israeli military says it struck would it has described as a hamas compound that it killed two senior hamas leaders. but as we know, this is an area of densely populated with civilians. the israeli military has acknowledged that it is aware of civilian casualties that this strike strike in particular cause harm in its words, to civilians, not it is reviewing the incident at the moment, but again, fierce criticism coming from humanitarian organizations. and of course palestinian authority as well as hamas, not only directed at the israeli military, but also crucially at president biden, the palestinian authority and hamas both accusing biden facilitating israel's actions and offensive in rafah. of course, this comes just a week

after the international court of justice ordered the israeli military to hold any plans for military offensive themselves. >> another thank you israel's war cabinet met ahead of ceasefire and hostage deal talks, which is set to resume this week, but already prime minister benjamin netanyahu expressing his opposition to demands made by hamas leader you have sinwar now in a statement, the prime minister's office said, quote while prime minister netanyahu, time and again gave the negotiating team and extensive mandate to release our hostages sinwar continues used to demand the end of the war, the withdrawal of idf from gaza, and leaving her mass intact so that it can carry out the atrocities of october 7 over and over again prime minister netanyahu strongly opposes this on pencasts is a former israeli consul general in new york. he joins me now, live in tel aviv. thank you so much for joining us. i mean, what's your feeling

about where the hostage talks are out right now? >> tragically, mac is going nowhere and mr. netanyahu is on-brand being disingenuous by saying that he provided the dissociated with an extensive mandate. he never he never ever provided with an extensive mandate and proof of that was just uttered yesterday in i'm articulated yesterday by a former major general on the tongue along who heads that negotiating team and said, i'm very frustrated this government with this government, quote on there won't be a hostage deal. so to answer your question, max, unfortunately, i am not optimistic about the likelihood or walls ability of a deal. >> what do you think is the main sticking point if there is one or is this just a litany of different issues which just aren't getting resolved. >> no, no, no, no, no. this is not you know, people people start taking draft and comparing points know there

there was a major sticking point as you just alluded to in your question, and that is the ceasefire any hostage deal needs to be accompanied by a ceasefire. >> whether draft number one says a six-week ceasefire, draft number two says five weeks. >> it doesn't matter. a ceasefire under current condition prevents israel from saying it toppled, destroyed for deny related eradicating hamas. in other words, it prevented you from saying it won the war. >> there because there's nothing to show for other than devastation and death in gaza. and devastation and death in israel. >> so mr. netanyahu has a disincentive for a ceasefire, not only because that would prevent it i'm from showing or demonstrating a un achievement or something tangible that he could call a triumph but because that would subject him almost inevitably to the scrutiny of being responsible and being held accountable for the period leading to october 7

and the mismanagement of the war on the other hand, on the hamas side, without a ceasefire, they have absolutely no reason to give up what they cruelly, savagely, and barbarically think, are negotiating assets. >> human lives, including a babies and women and so both sides are a logjam in this no-win situation obviously, we can't comprehend what's happening to so many civilians in gaza, but there is there is an argument to be made, isn't there that both sides feel that they've got some momentum, right now so that gets in the way of negotiations i have to go that you look at what happened in now for last night and you ask yourself this, what momentum looks like then, then, then this is the sum of all the

tragedies i don't see any momentum for hamas. >> i don't see any momentum for israel other then a nasty brutish a war veteran attrition if i could ask you about that, you know, that attack on the tented area not it was describing it. >> she's covered this in great detail about some of the worst video that she's actually seen from during this conflict because they were so horrifying these burns and we haven't been able to show a lot of the video, but this is exactly what many of israel's allies i've been concerned about isn't it they're saying they got to hamas officials, but there was a huge civilian casualty rate off the back of that well, that has been unfortunately the story of the war of indiscriminate and almost disproportionate civilian or noncombatant as the professional term is destined

throughout gaza, over 30,000 of which i don't know how many are hamas members. >> now, this is the most dense densely i'm sorry, populated area or swath of land on this planet. so there's no way in the world that with aerial bombardment, you can target a certain individual and not cause the damage civilian deaths, the residual structural damage it's almost impossible to achieve okay. >> all pink us in tel aviv really appreciate the time today. thank you three asian powerhouses held a summit in years on monday, i will tell you what was on the agenda for leaders, some south korea and china just had an a live report plus police in massachusetts believed stabbing attacks at a movie theater and a mcdonald's could be connected the details

committee chairman michael mccaul and the bipartisan delegation of lawmakers arrived in taiwan on sunday the sixth congress members are all set to meet with taiwan's new president, who was inaugurated last week. lai ching-te was being rebuked as a dangerous separatist by beijing. his election triggered the largest military exercises and more than a year around the self-governing ireland, which we're held in the past few days, leaders from china, japan, and south korea wrapped up. their trilateral summit in the last few hours, chinese premier li can japanese prime minister fumio kishida, and south korean president you're young all hell talks in seoul aimed at boosting dialogue, trade, and mutual cooperation. the three nations haven't held this meeting in more than four years. so it is significant sin as mike, but area has been following developments for us and joins us live from hong kong, mike, some pretty positive reaction as well coming from all three sides. it

seems yeah, makes absolutely. i think that could be the understatement of the afternoon here in asia. we're hearing language from the premier of china, li chung, saying that this represents a new beginning for all three countries involved here, the government of japan is saying that this was a very productive summit as well. but max, you know, the why we care factor the y this matters, why we should be paying attention to the summit around the world is that this is all about avoiding misunderstandings, avoiding miscommunication, and potential escalations among the three nations because we find ourselves here in asia in such a tense environment, china aligning itself more closely with russia and the united states polling in korea and japan more tightly with its alliance. certainly announced in and made formal by the camp david summit in august of last year. so certainly encouraging language. there. the prime minister of japan fumio kishida, south korean president yun suk yeol, and the premier league chunk of china saying

that they need to be well to talk to each other at a senior level, two bring tensions down. >> and certainly a test of their ability to operate max is the wildcard of north korea, which made itself very apparent as the summit was beginning, the north announcing that it's going to be launching a satellite between now and next tuesday here's the prime minister of japan, fumio kishida talking about how the response should be listening schedule. last night, north korea, once again gave notice of its intention to launch another satellites but even if it were to successfully launch it, it would be a breach of united nations resolutions. and we strongly urge north korea to cancel so south korean president intone young out with more forceful language saying that the international community needs to quote sternly, respond, china saying that each side hi needs to exercise restraint, but max, in terms of a deliverable from

this summit, china and south korea have agreed to a security meeting happening within the next month or so. >> so small signs of progress, a lot of progress when it comes to trade, saying that the region needs to have a free trade environment to promote stability. so we're gonna be watching to see how these three begin to respond to north korea. and we're gonna be waiting two watch what happens with this planned satellite launch. max maya in hong kong. thank you so much for that so let's come a dozen people in janata turbulence qatar airways flight will hear from some of the passengers about what happened i'm thinking, i'm going to die. >> and i thought that was one of the earth with we have shriver premieres next sunday at nine on cf nine out of ten people don't get enough fiber. bennett fiber is the easy, gentle solution for every day.

nearing the end of donald trump's historic criminal hush money trial closing arguments set for tuesday, starting with the former president's attorneys, followed by the prosecution afterwards, the judge will instruct the members of the jury on the charges that they have to consider, then we'll begin. >> well, they'll begin that deliberations lightly on wednesday, trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a payment to adult film star stormy annuals before the 2016 election. cnn spoke with one of his former attorneys on whether he believes trump's team is prepared for the possibility that a guilty verdict yeah, i think so because it's a manhattan jury pool. i mean, the reality is that the numbers don't favor. i'm only taking three days and three-and-a-half days to pick a jury on something this high profile is very worrisome, even having a

couple of attorneys on the jury could kinda cut wildly in either direction. so i think there's probably a feeling of fatalism, but not of surrender. i mean, again, you can their stuff to attack in terms of whether the entries are even false when it says legal services rendered. >> but beyond that, to go into cohen as the star witness is just you can make a lot of arguments that if you wouldn't buy a used car from this guy, you can't base a criminal verdict on him. >> you everyone's going to distance themselves are going so i look at all this corroboration. we have maybe they'll use the old speeds. >> there's no swans and the gutter. and going back about 30 years when i was a prosecutor. but they'll they'll distance themselves and act like there's a lot of corroboration, although really for the intent, i'm not sure there is six people were stabbed in separate attacks that massachusetts and simply say they're likely connected four young girls were attacked at a movie theater before to other people were stabbed at a mcdonald's cnn's polo sandoval has those details

well, this weekend, police releasing limited information about this series of stabbings, but still enough to help us build a timeline. i'll albeit a disturbing one, that paints a clearer picture of the events from saturday, police said that all started at 6:00 p.m. on saturday when a suspect without a ticket walked into a movie theater into town of braintree, massachusetts, which is about 30 miles south of boston. police say he proceeded to stab for young females, their ages ranging from nine to 17 years old their injuries non-life-threatening. so they're expected to survive here. police say that this seemed to be an unprovoked attack that without saying anything, without any warning, that the suspect and started stabbing these young women and then fled it was a short time later that police say that he made his way to plymouth massachusetts where he stabbed two additional individuals, a man and a woman, each end their 20s. they also suffered non-life trending injuries. and then he tried to flee. the

suspect. did police then engage that suspect in a chase which ended in a crash and ultimately, they were able to detain that suspect. should mention though, that there is no specific word on any possible motive, they are still investigating. we should also mention that police in deep river, connecticut on saturday also investigating a homicide after they located a body while responding to a call of a disturbance police there and connecticut will only say that they're suspect was arrested in massachusetts but they stopped short of directly linking it to those two other stabbings. so still a lot of information here that should become enough coming forward from investigators, but at least we do have enough to understand that series of events of two unprovoked stabbings at a movie theater and also at a fast-food restaurant over the holiday weekend. polo sandoval, cnn, new york council airway says it will investigate a turbulences than on a flight from doha to dublin which injured a dozen

people. eight were taken to hospital when they landed in the irish capital on sunday, the flight ran into trb rylance over turkey, but it's unclear what caused it. this comes less than a week after more than 100 passengers were injured and a man died of a suspected heart attack when a singapore airlines flight encountered severe turbulence for more, let's go to cnn's sebastian shukla he's in berlin, sebastian not walk us through then this particular latest incident yeah, max, good morning. >> i mean, turbulence is not rare for anybody who's ever done any airline travel frequent, or infrequent. but what is incredibly rare is the fact that we have two relatively serious incidents happening in the space of a week that singapore airlines flight from london to singapore, which had to be diverted to bangkok. and now we have this flight qatar airways going from doha to the irish capital, dublin that didn't have to divert it, did land, but there were still 12 people who were injured on that flight

and eight of them had to be hospitalized. now, we don't really know what happened with regards to the turbulence. was it the same as the singapore airlines flight? but we know that it happens somewhere over turkey and it appeared to be clear air turbulence of some form because it happened during the meal service and that was a good four hours to go until it was due to land in dublin. but obviously, max, a incredibly harrowing experience for the passengers. take a listen to what some of them had to say we had we had our seat belts on just from watching the episode that happened last week was just it was there in your mind? it was so scary at the time. you just don't know as they say yes or no, like what the staff were amazing like to actually get up and have to look after us and they're going around with bandages on their head and bloodied faces like and they have to serve us as well max 65,000 incidents of

turbulence is recorded every year, 5,000 of which are considered as serious and a 2022 report by a university in the uk suggested that the actually the incidents in the next decade could be rising by two or three times, which doesn't bode well for anybody who has a particularly anxious flyer. >> and i was traveling on a flight yesterday, which it had some very mild turbulence, but it has seeped into the psyche of trump hello because there was a little bit of screaming and people were worried about the small fluctuations in height. so max, it will be something that airlines will have to look to contend with as they go forward. >> okay. >> thanks for joining us from berlin, coming up. >> activists and lawmakers and japan are raising them glom about hosts, clubs saying many of them are preying on women forcing them to rack up huge
