drawing attention to that courthouse? >> well, look, last week we said that we are going to be talking day in and day out about the stakes of the election in the run-up to the first presidential debate on cnn on june 27 in atlanta this week is about doing exactly that. it's been immediate circus down the courthouse in manhattan. all of the news media has been posted up, running visuals that day in and day out relentlessly, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. and so we use it as an opportunity to directly address the american people about the fundamental threat that donald trump poses to our democracy. that is what the president is going to talk about with donald trump on the debate stage. if he does show up in june. and so we're going to make sure that people understand that donald trump is a person who's fighting for himself no matter where he has. but as a person who continues to embrace in political violence everywhere he goes, he's somebody who was pledging to rule as a dictator on day one. he is somebody who is promising for a bloodbath if he's not able to win so that's what we were doing

yesterday, manhattan, it's what we'll continue to talk about every day until the first debate and atlanta. >> but michael real quick that trump campaigns suggests that they think it's blown up in your face and in the movie you guys made yesterday saying that it proves the case that they've been trying to make the whole time that politics is motivating the case. jason miller said after months of st. politics thanks, had nothing to do with this trial. they showed up and made a campaign event out of lower out of a lower manhattan trial for president trump. did this backfire on you no, not at all we're not talking about the trial. >> we're talking about the threat that donald trump poses to our democracy. his embrace of political violence, that he does every single day, whether he's outside the courthouse there in manhattan or he's down to mar-a-lago or he's shouting into an echo chamber on truth, social. that's what we were talking about with robert de niro and officers for known in, dunn, who defended our democracy at the capitol on january 6 so we're of course going to take advantage of the media circus there. we're going to use every tool at our disposal to communicate directly with the voters and breakthrough this fragmented media environment and make sure

that people understand the stakes. so we're going to continue to do that every single day through the debate. >> michael tyler, thanks for coming in. appreciate your time a new our i've seen a new central starts now hello everyone, i'm john berman. >> i'm outside the man hattan criminal court. this is cnn special live coverage of the case against donald trump. and today is the day the jury gets the case. in the next few hours, they will begin deliberating the 34 counts. donald trump is charged with falsifying documents to cover up. hush money payments to stormy he daniel's all to influence the 2016 election. the prosecution calls this an election fraud case. the closing arguments are done. the lawyers foreign done. they have

spoken before the jury for the very last time today, it is the judge and the judge alone who will address them before they go behind closed doors to determine the fate of the former president and by the end of today, donald trump could be the first former president convicted of a felony or likewise the first former president acquitted of criminal charges, either way, what we're about to see here is simply on precedented with me this morning seat as a brynn gin grass has been covering the trial all 44 days since it began back in april 15. what will we see today? >> yeah. i mean, listen, let's talk about what's going on. and add 9:30, and we expect the former president to be here. he might actually say some words like you mentioned before. then at 10:00, that's when it's going to start today. the judge giving those jurors a little extra time since they went so late yesterday, what those closing arguments, jury instructions are expected to take about an hour. now, remember, this is the roadmap that the judge is giving these jurors to interpret the law and

apply it to all this evidence that they have heard over these last several weeks, and they were debated last week by the, by the both sides, right? they had markers, yellow and i forgot the other color, but they were basically wiping out what they wanted in those jury instructions and what they did it nobody has seen these your instructions. nobody has heard them. this is gonna be the first time that we actually here the judge talk about them when he gives him to those jurors and then we are going to have the deliberation. >> this is the big moment when those 12 jurors go behind closed doors and deliberate the fate of the former president during that time, trump and his defense team, they have to stay inside the courthouse. >> there will be other press up there to waiting to see if there are any notes and then of course waiting for the verdict. if there are notes, they're not allowed to come during the lunch hour. that is the latest guidance that we are getting. so that's about an hour break during the day that they're going to ask any questions about anything with this case. but they have a lot of evidence to bile through. they have recording, we have text messages, they have documents, they have the testimony. so there's a lot that's going to happen within today, possibly

get into tomorrow to no notes during lunch. >> that was the latest guidance that we got when they want to eat. >> i did i did also take note yesterday that the prosecution, joshua steinglass, kept on saying you can check this evidence, look at these documents as you are delivered branding the prosecution very much wants the physical evidence to be a key part of the double ration deliberations? >> yeah, absolutely. all right. brynn gingras, us. thank you so much for being here really appreciate it. all right. with let's now senior legal analyst, jennifer rodgers and molly murphy, trial consultant and mediator, jen, let me just start with you the jury instructions. brin points out, we don't know what they are exactly yet. we heard the discussions about them, but we haven't heard exactly what the judge will say both legal teams know, and they crafted their closing arguments around those jury instructions. but what will you be looking forward today? hey, when the jury when here's those instructions for the first time i think john, the biggest thing to me is how is the judge going to describe to them the law around the enhanced issue. right. so the

the financial records crime is fairly simple. falsification of financial records, but then of course we have this enhancement where if in the course of that you were concealing are committing a second crime, it becomes a felony. so how is the judge going to describe that? and then how is he going to describe the third piece which is what crime was it that was being concealed are committed because that's where we get into the federal election law, for example. so that's the main thing i'm focusing on we don't know what that's gonna look like and you know, it's kind of confusing. so he's going to want to do it in a way that the jury can understand it just to follow up with more time on that quickly, jennifer, in this case, it matters so much because the length would use to describe the charges in what the jury will be deciding it is novel in it could influence how they end up deliberating, correct? >> well it certainly does. i mean, the instructions or the framework for how they deliberate ultimately, there's a verdict forms as guilty or not guilty, but it's going to go into a little bit more more

detail because it's going to have to ask them whether they find that the business records were falsified. and then again, whether they find this enhancement, there was another crime that was being concealed or committed there. and so they have to think about it in that way. and if they don't understand what crime is being discussed, then they're not gonna be able to deliberate properly and they'll have appeal problems. so it's really, really important and it's interesting that at this point we don't know but what it will be, but i guess we'll find out in the next hour and then molly, at about 11:00 the jury walks behind the door and enters what is in a way, a twilight zone, but also in another way, the very foundation of our legal system, the jury will deliberate and what happens behind those doors? >> how which ways can it go? what do juries often do in situations like this well, they've waited what, six weeks now, seven weeks of trying to

figure out what the evidence is and make a decision. >> so i think there's for the most part, the jurors are ready and they're walking in the courtroom too. figure out truly what evidence was pertinent, what evidence was weighed well enough to support the elements of the charges as ms rodgers just stated, that these are new instructions for the jury and the key is do they will they be able to really understand the instructions, what we typically do is we will talk about specific instructions that and we'll explain what the instructions mean in lay terms. because often they're written more in the legal ease. so often jurors are talking amongst themselves. so what is this actually mean? their job is to take those instructions and tie them into the evidence

itself and figure out if the burden is it's been match so it's a big task and i think they're ready for it what jury questions, what possible questions will you be looking for mom? >> polly, to instruct us as to how they're thinking what a question would be a red flag well, i i think if, if they aren't sure what the beyond a reasonable doubt is would be a major flag because the way i have to say the closing arguments we're just so long and my bet very contrived. >> so i think there's going to be some confusion of really what is to see evidence what was the real evidence versus what were the arguments? >> if they come in and they want to know i would say the document this themselves, if

they're not clear of who said what if and i think the i think cohen did a very good job in the sense that he he he lied because he was told to lie. >> and if the jury really understands that, then i think that's gonna be a big discussion. i think they are going to talk a lot about what cohen so if a note comes out on really the pertinent evidence itself, that's going to be problematic. i believe for the prosecution and then very quickly, jennifer rodgers which sayyed, do you think field does any side as any lawyer feel good at this moment after closing arguments in before france, directions. well, all the lawyers feel nervous. i'll tell you that much. i think prosecutors should feel pretty good. they went a little too long, but i thought it was a really powerful summation they managed to counter the points made by the defense and layout.

their basis for why the evidence meets the law and they should find the defendant guilty. so i think they should feel pretty good. but again, everyone's just waiting. no one knows what's going to happen no lawyer feels great night before jury instruction is not before that jury door opens. >> generally for roger smalley murphy. thanks to both of you, remember the new reporting coming in this morning that democrats are in a freak out over president biden's reelection chances. the new york city democrat who says the number of people in new york that i i'm across who say positive things about trump is alarming he's our guest a c in an exclusive sean diddy combs under new scrutiny. >> now, sources tell cnn federally investigators are working to bring his accusers before a grand jury. >> and the deadly storms that have been slamming into texas. >> while video showing hurricane-force wind since blowing a plane off of its gate in dallas, we'll be back

and cooling childers. but it's really tough on those people who had been without power what is the biggest hole up and getting the power restoring? is it is it just the infrastructures just been crushed it is the infrastructure. >> so you had a widespread storm of 80 plus mile per hour straight-line winds that knocks tree limbs into the lines that even knocks down lines are nowhere near trees. and so you've got a lot of lines to fix cruz have been coming in from several other states to help our provider onboard restore those lines and there's a possibility of more storms. in the next couple of days. and so we may see more damage. they'll have to be fixed yeah. i was i was seeing that yesterday was primary day for taxes and at one point yesterday, you'd said that all hundred and three of the counties, 283 polling places, they didn't have electricity

and couldn't process voters. how much did this weather impact voting yesterday well, i'm sure it impacted his son because a lot of people who would have voted yesterday, i didn't empower and we're worried about other things rather than a voting in the election we're fortunate that in dallas county we have what's called countywide voting and so you can go to any of those other hundred and 80 places. >> you didn't have to go to a specific precinct, devote we also extended voting hours by two hours. so instead of the post-closing and seven, they close at 9:00 p.m. so hopefully that helps. but no doubt, there were people yesterday that would have otherwise voted. but because of the storms either decided not to or we're not able to get to the polls for sure. i was taking a look according to our storm prediction center at texas has seen at least one storm report of hail damaging wind gusts, or for tornadoes. >> the reports of tornadoes 23

ourselves a bad man right here we talked enough in these territories they don't come try you will take from you until you are wiped clean from this leg use that much this year everyone had much needed but yeah in american saga all right. >> well, welcome back to the manhattan the criminal court, where over the course of the morning, really the only poll that will matter is the poll taken inside the jury room when they get this case? so get the case about 11:00. the jury of seven women and five men will determine the fate of donald trump. will he be the first former president ever convicted of a felony or the first one we're president never found

not guilty of a felony either way, as we said, it will be unprecedented. that's the poll that matters in this building. but there are other polls as well. and for that we have cnn senior data reporter, harry get inhere. americans view of this case has been going on now, what i'm looking at my notes 44 days since jury selection began how has it changed? >> feels like only yesterday to me, john, that it began, but apparently it is 44 days, you crack the numbers, you've run the numbers. >> all right, let's take a look here. think trump did something illegal, and the new york hush money case, i've been interested in whether or not these numbers will change at all during the course of this trial? simply put, john, they have not pre-opening statements thing trump did something illegal, 46% after the direct examination of michael cohen by the prosecution, look at where we are now 46%, the percentage of americans who think that the charges are very serious in fact, dropped from 40% to a little bit more than and 35%

during the course of this trial. so, yes, perhaps things might have changed with those 12 jurors. but what comes to the larger american public, there has been no change, at least so far, john any possible reasons why yeah. >> i think the question is, what's exactly cooking here? why hasn't there been much of a change while folks like you and me real news junkie he's might be paying really close attention to what's going on. the fact that most americans don't really care that much so closely following news about economy inflation, that's number one. it's 65%. look at immigration, 52% election legitimacy, 49%, abortion, 47%, all the way down on this list of issues tested by the ipsos knowledge panel is trump's court cases at 42% significantly less than economy and inflation. the fact is john, when we're looking at these numbers, what we see as americans minds aren't

changing, and a big reason why americans minds are unchanging is at this particular colorpoint, john, they are tuned out of the conversation you say, folks like you and me, i'm not sure there are very many folks exactly know now, but i take your point on that. >> now, it in terms of the general election matchup right now, how things look there. >> yeah. just quickly her john, i'll just point out the biden versus trump margin perhaps not a big surprise. donald trump had a slight lead before the trial began. now he continues to have a slightly look. it's still very much a winnable race for joe biden. but at this particular point that trump train that's been moving faster than it's ever been move before. and a general election doesn't show any signs of slowing down, despite the criminal indictments against them, despite the fact that this case in new york is now going to the georgia harriet. >> and thank you very much for all of that. thanks. go back to cave. >> all right. so today, president biden is going to be launching a nationwide effort

to mobilize black voters during campaign rally in philadelphia and also comes as some big name democrats. there's no reporting out that big named democrats are in quote, full-blown freak out mode over president biden's chances for reelection. one longtime democratic strategist telling politico this, there's still a path to win this, but they don't look like a campaign that's embarking on that path right now, if the frame of this race is what was better, the three-and-a-half years under biden or four years under trump, we lose that every day of the week and twice on sunday. joining us right now in studio has manhattan borough president marco vein is very good to have you. thank you for being here. >> you also spoke with politico and i will read your quote back to you for everyone. knew, it says new york democrats need, you said new york democrats need to wake up the number of people in new york, including people of color that i come across who are saying pop positive things about trump is alarming. what are you hearing from people that's alarming as much. >> there has been a rising red wave in new york going back to at least 2020 and the polls

right now, he or show president biden head by about nine points so he's going to win this state, then you can say only nine. yes, it's too close and it has implications. we have seven competitive congressional races in new york, more than any other state outside of california. so what happens here will determine control of the house. we cannot take working class voters for granted. we have to speak to the issues that they care about in their life. democrats have to do better at that is the biden campaign missing it is the message getting missed. i spoke with biden campaign spokesperson. it comes director michael tyler is on earlier and he suggested when it came to black voters, for example, he said that they are working to get every vote they're working to rebuild that coalition. and that they're they're putting in the groundwork to get voters who might not be paying attention now, to start paying attention. >> but is that or is there something missing? well, the president has a great record to run on with unemployment low and forgiving student debt and progress on climate and so much

more but i'll tell you as much as i am alarmed at what a trump victory would mean for our democracy, i have to admit at this point, kate, that that is not moving, swing working class voters. what i'm hearing from them every day are concerns about the cost of living, especially the cost of housing concerns about public safety. and while it pains me, also concerns about immigration. and democrats have a lot to say on this, but we have to stop just talking about what we are against and say what we're for we are not against police we are for safe. fair, effective policing we are not against security at the border. were four that were for compassion for all people in this country, no matter their documentation status and we certainly can't be the party that's against building housing. we should be the party that's pro housing to deal with this affordability crisis with that message that speaks to the lives of regular people. we will win when you

talk to, when you were mentioned that what isn't landing is discussion with the threat to democracy. maybe i'm paraphrasing that is, that was the message yesterday from actor robert de niro, standing in front of the courthouse and what he was what he was trying to present alongside with the biden campaign, what they were trying to present was the threat that donald trump presents still to democracy going forward. but is that a miss robert de niro carrying robert de niro has a lot to say and can say whatever he would like. but i asked michael tyler if you thought this backfired on them because they're standing out in front of the courthouse drawing attention to the courthouse and what donald trump has been saying. he said no, absolutely not. they're going to meet, they're going to meet the cameras and meet voters where they are what do you think about them as well? >> it's true that a trump victory is a threat, potentially a mortal threat to american democracy isn't to say that, right? >> but what do you say that? but is that that doesn't seem to year suggesting to be really landing with it is not the best message to connect a working

voters that i speak to now there are other threats that will affect life even in new york city and every part of the country republicans in the white house and congress could authorize concealed carry of handguns everywhere. we can have a flood of guns in new york city. they could mess with our elections by outlawing mail-in ballots everywhere here in new york city of course, they could restrict access to reproductive rights. here in new york city those are tangible, more so than the threat to democracy. i think we need to fight on the battlefield of real-world issues. >> just thought of something we hear from the likes of jim messina and many others about the, they call it the bed wedding phenomenon of democrats that they can very nervous around presidential elections and everyone should just calm down are you hyperventilating? are you been that way mark, but do you think democrats need to calm down? are you saying there is what i'm hearing from you though, is that there's real alarm this is a close election. >> this is a winnable election.

>> we have work to do and we cannot take working class voters for granted. we have to connect with them. we have to do better on messaging. we have time to do this, but i'm speaking out now so that we get this right because the stakes are impossibly high while i have you, this historic trial is happening in your hometown in your burrow. >> i have read that you are a longtime friend yes. >> of the district attorney, alvin bragg what do you see if you've been watching this closely? what do you think as you've seen, the prosecution presenting its case? and also, if i could just put it this way. if after all of this, donald trump is not found guilty, what does that mean for the district attorney in bringing this case said many thought had suggested maybe you should not well, it's going to be in the hands of the jury and a couple of hours and i'm not going to try and predict that result, but i really admired da bragg for bringing this case. he has now been the national target of hatred to a really disgusting degree up to and

including death threats. it would've been very easy for him to take a pass on this but he didn't regardless of the result, facts have come out in this trial that the public media to understand the extent to which donald trump engaged in fraud in a conspiracy to hide his actions, to influence an election there were serious evidence presented ended and it's important that the public got to see that. so i admire the de a for bringing this case for the strength of the trial. and now we'll see what the jury decides and we absolutely well, we're going to hear jury instructions very soon, and it all this is the big moment is going to be happening this morning, at least it begins, it's great to have you here, manhattan borough president marketing. thank you so much for your time coming up for us. a cnn analysis shows that the munitions used in israel's deadly strike and rafah they were made in the united states, will bring you more detail on that in the scene and exclusive report, federal investigators are preparing to bring the accusers of sean diddy combs before a federal grand jury. what this now means, the

throughout this investigation. now, of course this all stems from back in march when two of diddy's homes were rated in los angeles and miami. and now as you said, this marks a significant escalation to give us a window into where this investigation stands. >> and what are you learning about the evidence being being reviewed by investigators use but you've been following this so closely, lizbeth yes. >> so one new piece of reporting that we are hearing is that video is in the hands of federal investigators. now, this video footage comes from combs as residences. we are not clear on whether this was seized during the reigns or whether they obtain this from a another source when they brought them in for questioning. but we do hear that many of these sources who are being questioned are cooperating with authorities. some have even handed over evidence that they think could be relevant and among this

video footage, we hear that investigators, they're spotting people in the footage and they are calling them in for questioning. people who have been spoken to by these investigators go beyond these accusers. we hear that one person who was spotted in that video footage and was called in is a male sex worker who has spoken to these authorities. and i have one source who says that this is much bigger than just these lawsuits. the time that the homes were rated back in march, kate, we reported based on a law enforcement source that these raids were about sex trafficking. now we hear that that scope has widened to more of the allegations included in these lawsuits, which would include money laundering and drugging because kate's six of these accusers have a lead just that they were drugged by combs elizabeth wagmeister. >> great reporting is always. thank you so much we also have some good news this morning for parents. there may be a way to

lower the risk of your child developing a lasting peanut allergy. >> a new study saying well, it's a pretty simple step. >> it's introducing your children and feeding your children smooth peanut butter during infancy and early childhood. cnn's jacqueline howard has the details. she's joining us now and that jaclyn, what does this study say tell us more about this? >> it's an interesting study, kate, what the researchers found is that children who were fed peanut products early on in life regularly from infancy around four to six months old, all the way through age five they had a 71% reduced rate of peanut allergies later on in life in adolescents at around age 12. and that's in comparison with kids who avoided peanut products in infancy. and i will say it was previously recommended to wait to introduce your baby to peanut butter until age three, but since then in recent years medical groups have shifted their position and the american

academy of pediatrics now says that an early introduction to peanuts may prevent peanut allergy. and kate, this new study not only seem let's do support that, but it takes it further and shows that that reduced risk of peanut allergy can be sustained all the way through adolescence to age 12 or 13, kate's? >> yeah, it really is wonderful news. i mean, this cystic seem to speak for themselves here. how do parents introduce this and do this safely? >> well, you definitely want to talk to your doctor first and develop a plan with your pediatrician or your allergist. i mean, if you have a child who has eczema or an egg allergy, they are at higher risk. but once you develop that plan with the er doctor, they'll likely recommend to start with a soft peanut butter pra obviously, peanuts are choking hazard and start with this small amount like it's pea sized amount. see how your child responds to that, and then reintroduce it

three to four days later, see how they respond to a larger size and slowly over time increase in size, and see how they do. of course, if you notice something's off or if they don't react well, talk to your doctor about that. but having a plan is so important because we know kate food allergies are a public health concern. about 2% of kids here in the us that's nearly 1.5 million have a peanut allergy. so studies like this really do get a lot of attention among physicians and parents as well. kde yeah. no. i mean, it's it's it's really nice and comforting for so many families who think that they they have tools. there's something they can do to try to help this. it's good to see you. thank you so much. >> come on up for us. we are watching for donald trump to make his way to the courthouse in lower manhattan once more, before his case is handed to the jury. >> bring you all of these moments in this very important day ahead and once pristine rivers now orange it's all

manufactured in the united states. let's get right to cnn is not a beshear for the latest on this thought, what do you learning what on cnn has geolocated? >> footage from this particular area of the camp in rafah, reviewing that fitted with weapons and explosives experts who identified a us made small-diameter bomb manufacturer should by boeing. now the properties of this particular bomb correspond with some of the details shed by the israeli military spokesperson daniel hagari on tuesday, we've spoken to it's experts who have indeed confirm that this is a high high-precision bomb that these munitions were used for a targeted attack. but of course weapons experts have also told cnn, they use of any munitions in densely populated areas carries risks. and as we know, this was an area filled with thousands of tents, sheltering displaced palestinian civilians. and president biden has previously told cnn that if israel were to go into rafah, the us would not be supplying weapons for that that's sort of offensive, but

clearly american weapons are already in the hands of the israeli military and are now being used in the southern city of rafah. we've heard from the deputy press secretary the pentagon, sabrina singh, who said, i do not know what type of munition was used in that airstrike? i'd have to refer you to the israelis to speak to that. and the white house has said that that particular strike on sunday was not a red line that they would be against a major ground offensive isn't that they have not seen an offensive of this kind just yet. but look, we have already seen repeated airstrikes on rafah. now. and according to eyewitnesses, we are seeing israeli tanks now moving into central parts of the city not a what is known about a new round of military activity in and around rafah look in the last 24 hours, we have seen more airstrikes in the southern city. >> once again, targeting the teller and salt our neighborhood, which is the area that we're it's targeted on sunday evening, but also targeting the al-mawasi, a coastal area. and this is an

area that is designated as a humanitarian zone. this is an area which earlier this month the israeli military had told civilians in rafah to evacuate two, and we know over the last three weeks, more than a million civilians have moved out of the city of rafah for hurley's from the central parts of this particular city. and we have seen graphic image his emerging distressing videos emerging from that coastal areas showing the bloodied bodies all of the victims are on that coastal front on the gaza strip. >> the israeli military has said that it did not carry on airstrike, that it did not target the humanitarian zone. >> but again, footage on the ground speaks for itself real concern, of course, mounting over the situation in rafah, would civilians left with nowhere to go all right. >> not a beshear for what's not. thank you very much for that. >> in the meantime of standing outside the manhattan criminal court where today history will be made. >> jury deliberations begin in the criminal case against donald trump. we do expect to

go with green state media says that it is retaliation for south korea and activists who often send materials concluding propaganda pamphlets to the north detained american ryan watson, please pleaded guilty yesterday to possession of ammunition charges in turks and case because his sentencing is now set for june 21 watson told us on the show in an interview last week that he doesn't recall putting ammunition as bag that the bullet that's where from a hunting trip last year and that they had must have slipped in-between the lining of his luggage. he is one of four americans remain stuck in turks and caicos. >> beijing facing ammunition possession session charges. >> now a federal judge in new hampshire has struck down a conservative lead law restricting how teachers could instruct students on topics such as gender in race, or as the law described it, divisive concepts the judge ruled that the law was unconstitutional. this move marks the first time in the nation that the judge's overturned burns such a measure which could set a precedent for

similar moves and other states, this ruling though, could still be appealed if the court fight continues and washington dc is preparing for some pretty high profile diplomats, the national zoo announcing this hour that to two-year-old giant pandas, dao li and ching bow, seen well here in china, i believe, still in china, but they will arrive by the end of the year. valleys mother was actually born at the dc zoo and his grandparents or are two of the three pandas that just returned to china late last year. panda politics and panda diplomacy, it's a very real thing. we will continue to cover. okay, so some of alaska is most picturesque waterways are turning orange in scientists say climate change is to blame. >> they say toxic metals that have been underground for thousands of years are no seeping into rivers as the permafrost thaws and turning them from cool, clear blue to cloudy orange. we bring in seen as bill, where he's got much more on this bill. what is going on here?

>> yeah, this is so surprising kate, to researchers from the national park service university of california davis was in on this us geological survey. we're used to seeing this sort of thing happen around mining activity from appalachian to the rocky mountains. we've seen streams be discolored this way. >> but what's unique about what's happening up in alaska, brooks range is this is some of the most remote wilderness in the world and homeless some of the most clear blue pristine streams anywhere in the world. but now we're seeing this, this bright orange as iron and zinc and copper, nickel, lead which have all been locked away in the permafrost for thousands of years is falling and being released now, the perma and permafrost does no longer exist up there. sadly, this effect is just a startling very vivid example of the hidden consequences of an overheating planet. kate but so aside from the obvious impacts that we're talking about here are the

effects. what are scientists worried this could do in been well, this could also be an indication of permafrost releasing methane, which is harder to see this invisible gas, but it's up to 80 times more potent as a heat trapping gas than than carbon dioxide the worry about the arctic, which is warming four, four times faster than the rest of the planet, sort of uncork in this methane bomb has long been one of those domino's was tipping points that climate scientists have worried about right now. >> but in the meantime, in the near term, these waterways means so much in terms of tourism, in terms of survival for indigenous tribes and others who rely on these fisheries for healthy, these can be toxic in many cases at the levels get too high of an orange rust there changing not only the color, but the whole biology and ecology of these systems right now. so another alarming red flag hey, what's happening in the climate crisi
