nope. sorry! you know that thing freaks me out. he can hear you. he didn't mean that, kevin. kevin: yes, he did! keeping our competitors up at night. now, that's progressive. welcome to those of you watching in the u.s. and all around the world. we're going to bring you a live report from hong kong. as mass protests continue for what is now a fourth straight day. demonstrators preparing for a possible police crackdown. plus, isis fighters close in on the key syrian city of the border with turkey. people escaping the violence say the u.s. air strikes aren't doing enough to stop the terror group. also coming up for you, the u.s. secret service is under

scrutiny again after details emerge about the man who jumped the fence at the white house. >> we want to begin our coverage this hour in hong kong. the chief executive has just issued a statement saying beijing will not back down. you're taking a look here at the scene earlier in hong kong. a main thoroughfare that protesters have blocked over the past few days. we've seen thousands of pro democracy demonstrators calling for the chief executive to step down and beijing to give up its veto power over choosing hong kong's leader in 2017. many protesters fear this police crackdown could be imminent and all of this after authorities used tear gas and pepper spray over the weekend. this is not typical, this is not normal in hong kong. in fact, you haven't seen scenes

like this in years. there have been 89 arrests. as the protests in hong kong continue to gain momentum. we want to remind you where this is all taking place. take a look at this map, we're going to zoom in to hong kong for you. protesters are sitting in several key intersections throughout the city. blocking roads on both sides of the harbor. the core group is right here, the road you see highlighted in red, it's sitting on the main route between the eastern and western sides of congress congress island about it's outside congress congress's government headquarters. it's next to the main base of the people's liberation army. they're rarely seen outside their bases in congress congress. the government says it has not requested their help in dealing with protests. that is, they haven't requested their help yet. we don't know how things may change over the next few days. the protests are close to the city's financial district. hong kong stock exchange as you

see there just down the road as well. trading went on as normal today. the hong sang index is down 1%. what does all of this mean? let's connect with andrew stevens. he's right there on the red line as you just saw. joins us now on the phone. andrew, what can you tell us about how things have progressed over this day and over the past few days. does this protest seem to still have momentum? and what kind of reaction has there been so far to this development from the chief executive that beijing won't step down, and that people will get their rights of full sufferage. each side has a different definition of what that means. >> between the protesters and what they want and what beijing and hong kong says they will get. what beijing and hong kong says clearly, is that the protesters are unlawful, that they are unlawfully occupying hong kong.

in fact, several parts of hong kong, disrupting traffic, that sort of thing. and as an unlawful protester, they will not be listened to by the government. the protesters say they are prepared to stay here for as long as it takes. you have a stand-off. at the moment, i'm standing in the key protest site. the numbers began to swell again. as they do toward the end of the day. they join the protesters, and it gets cooler. quite a big influx of people in the last hour or so. i have set the mood, it's almost carnival like, people sitting in big groups talking, laughing, and just really expressing their protests just by sitting, just by occupying. this is what they call a campaign of civil disobedience. the answer is on peaceful disobedience. we've had the use of pepper

spray and tear gas by the authorities, that was more than 24 hours ago. the mood really couldn't be more different over the past day or so. and the momentum does continue to build. tomorrow will be a public holiday. a lot more -- hong kong is used to getting on to the streets and protesting, airing their grievances. in a faithful manner, and expecting the same thing to happen tomorrow. >> it seems, though, andrew officials are trying to mitigate any possible conflict tomorrow on october first there. the fireworks show has been cancelled. we don't know if the police will be able to calm things down. they will be able to. so what can we expect over the next few days? the chief executive there, many of the protesters asking for him to step down. that's very unlikely to happen, though. and this is -- as you discussed just a few hours ago, this is an economic protest more than

anything else. protesters want to see this impact of tourism draw that congress congress -- will they? >> no, they won't. i mean, it's called occupy hong kong, unlike the occupy emergence last year was really about inequality, the 1%ers if you like. this is really more focused. as far as what's going to happen over the next couple days. the police will intervene in a heavy handed way. a lot of people say it's -- just the sheer number of people who turned out. tens of thousands of people are taking part in this action. if there was a heavy handed response by police now. it could turn ugly indeed. there is no reason for the police to respond, unless there is a serious breakdown in public order. and that is not happening here.

the protesters are making sure they do the right thing, that they -- for example, if there are emergency vehicles that needed to get through, they are let through, this has been one of the examples the hong kong government has been playing, the ambulance, maybe delayed because of these protesters. but the people here are keeping it peaceful, it is likely to grow. the hong kong government looks like it may be adopting a strategy where they will wait until the commercial part of hong kong says enough is enough, we're losing too much money, this has to stop. and hopefully see emergence in hong kong. which may result in the authorities here taking more control and getting these people off the streets. at the moment, i would say that's a few days away. >> andrew stevens in the middle of it all there, amid protesters, where it's just past

2:00 in the afternoon, things very peaceful there right now. hopefully that will hold in the hours and days to come. now we turn to the latest in the fight against isis. the u.s. and allies are wrapping up their air strikes against the militants. the fighters have reached the doorstep of a key syrian city. isis is now just three kilometers from kobani. if militants take over this city, they will then have complete control over a 100 kilometer chunk of syria that goes all the way up to the turkish border. so far the u.s. led coalition has launched 60 air strikes in syria, and 227 in iraq. the u.s. military says it's looking into reports that strikes killed civilians in manbij. they were working at a grain storage facility held by isis at the time. jordan is part of the coalition

battling iraq and syria, however, support for isis militants is growing inside jordan. the black flag of isis is flying openly in the impoverished desert city of ma'an. why has that city specifically been a hotbed of anti-government sentiment? it seems as though it's been a place that's ripe for an isis following, despite the country being a u.s. ally in this fight? >> well, errol, ma'an is not the only city in jordan where you find isis supporters or sympathizers, but it's a key city. it's been a base, a strong base of tribal support for jordan's monar

monarchy. >> for decades, the southern jordanian city of ma'an has been known as a difficult city. small protests in support of isis. while many downplay these demonstrations, the streets of ma'an tell a different story. pro-isis graffiti is spray painted across the city. like this one that reads, isis is leader. isis supporters were not hard to find in the city's market. this man interrupts our interview with a resident saying, the only troubles is an islamic state. others want to see isis in jord jordan. >> we hope they come here and enforce islamic sharia law. we want sharia law, this man says. most here are opposed to jordan joining the u.s. led coalition against isis. >> for almost four years, our

brothers in syria have been bombed, civilians and children killed. mosques destroyed. and we haven't seen the u.s. jordan's apostate infantry. they mobilized all their armies and started striking. >> this key u.s. ally faces the danger from isis on two of its borders. the threat from within will only increase now. ma'an's mayor also says joining the coalition is not in jordan's interest. >> the jihadi movement has been in jordan for years. if this movement in iraq or syria declares a war in jordan, they will not hesitate to carry out operations here. >> like many of the city's residents. anti-government sentiments and unrest stem from poverty, unemployment and years of marginalization by the government. he warns that unless the

grievances of the people of the city are seriously addressed, there will be consequences. back on the streets of ma'an, only an islamic state will bring them a better life, and that dream of islamic state is now under attack. >> people are repressed, a lot of pressure will lead to an explosion, wait and see. it will not pass peacefully, this man warns. for now, it might just be words and threats. many fear these signs foretell what the future may hold. >> while sympathy for jihadist groups or support for groups like isis might be on the rise since the country here joined that coalition last week, so it seems has the government cracked down, according to one lawyer of jihadists here in jordan telling us over the past month, at least

15 suspected jihadists have been detained, that's 15 according to one lawyer, errol. >> the government is certainly watching this closely. i'm curious, what has isis done if anything to gain the support of locals in ma'an, it seems as if their grievances are more economically based. >> this has been the history of it, errol. jordan has had a long history of individuals coming from this country joining the ranks of extremist groups like al qaeda, for example, in the past. and it's mostly economic grievances and political grievances, people here opposed to the monarchy who are also driven to join, but you are right, what we heard mostly from people yesterday in the city of ma'an, if you give people jobs, if there's more employment opportunities in their city, less people would be driven to join groups like isis, there will be less appeal for that. but also, as we are seeing now

over the past couple years, really, many jordanians, there are reports of hundreds who have joined fighting groups, jihadist groups in syria, like isis in the fight against the assad regime. and now there is concern that with jordan joining the coalition with jordan seeing a sighting again with the west, that this also could drive more of those who are opposed to the regime here who are opposed to the west, to join the ranks of these groups in the fight further, adding to the possible threats to this country and instability, the concern in jordan has been more about the threat from within this country, rather than from jihadists posing a threat from nearby countries like syria and iraq. >> it was so surprising. so many people you spoke with are open and vocal that they support isis.

just before 9:0015 in the beautiful amman jordan, thanks. want to bring you new details about two major white house security breaches, raising the alarm and some eyebrows. coming up for you, the agency sworn to protect the president has to say.

welcome back. police are carrying out anti-terrorism raids. they aren't a response to the

threat to the public. one man has been charged with providing $10,000 to a terrorist organization. a u.s. citizen could travel to syria. the officers were reportedly acting on information provided by american authorityies. earlier this month, australia's security agency raised its level to high for the first time ever. this report follows new revelations about a security breach just two weeks ago, when an intruder jumped a fence at the white house and got inside. brian todd has more on the embattled agency assigned to protect the u.s. president. >> the white house fence jumper, blew past a secret service officer. the intruder who was carrying a knife was inside the east room

of the white house when he was finally taken down. according to the washington post which first reported these details. the man had been captured right after entering the front door, contacted by cnn. the secret service would not comment citing an on going investigation. the white house came under attack in november 2011. one smashing a window a few feet from the first family's living room. the president, first lady and daughter malia were not home at the time. >> how bad could this have been? what if the grandmother and daughter had been on the balcony? >> had the grandmother and the daughter been on the balcony, it would have been a dangerous situation and would have put them in harm's way. >> the shooter, oscar ortega hernandez sped off, crashed his car a few blocks away, he was arrested five days later in pennsylvania. according to the reporting,

secret service supervisors told agents to stand down immediately after the incident claiming no shots fired and it wasn't until the cleaning staff discovered the bullets four days later, that the secret service realized there had been shots fired. critics are blasting the secret service. >> the agents i talk to say it's a miracle there's not been an assassination so far. >> the secret service is pushing back hard, the agency did not bungle the response or the investigation. agents were told to stand down immediately afterward because of the confusion of the moment. witnesses had reported people from two cars had fired at each other, as for not finding the bullets for four days. >> while the bullet pierced the historical glass, it didn't go through the protective coating of the white house. when you're examining the white house from the inside windows, there were no breaks in that protective glass. >> the post reports first lady

michelle obama was furious with the secret service over that incident. a former white house official who was there at the time of the incident says the first family was concerned about the incident and unhappy with the slow response, but not furious as the washington post reported. a current white house official says the first family has confidence in the secret service to do its job. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> still to come for you on cnn, a set back in the search for victims on the slopes of japan's mt. ontake. as locals fear another eruption.

goodnight. goodnight. for those kept awake by pain the night is anything but good. introducing new aleve pm. the first one with a safe sleep aid. plus the 12 hour strength of aleve for pain relief that can last until the am. now you can have a good night and a... good morning! new aleve pm for a better am.

welcome back, everyone. glad you're still with us on cnn. back in kabul, a senior minister for the new president will sign a long delayed agreement on u.s. troop presence. the bilateral security agreement sets out a timetable for withdrawing u.s. troops over the next few years, here's a breakdown of that for you. there are 28,000 u.s. troops deployed in afghanistan. under the deal that was just signed, the deal will be only a few hundred troops remain in the country by 2017. it's too dangerous for search crews to get back on top of mt. ontake.

24 people are still on the mountain, because toxic fumes have suspended recovery efforts. let's bring in our meteorologist on these massive challenges for rescuers, if there's toxic gas they can't get in, i understand this thing could blow at any moment? >> that's the main concern, absolutely. one thing you have to keep in mind with this, this volcano has erupted over the past several years. this particular eruption on saturday released over a million tons of volcanic ash into the atmosphere. the other three that i told you about shut off within 24 hours, there was no activity following the initial reupgs. this particular event, many hundreds of subsequent earthquakes and also dozens of

volcanic activity have crossed the region. in the past 24 hours, a little bit of a warning here, an increase in the volcanic intensity as well in the past 24 hours. subsequent eruptions certainly a possibility. certainly inside the next week, and inside the next several months before conditions begin to quiet down. look at this video, this is one of the things errol touched on here, as far as the dangers, besides another eruption. hydrogen sulfide, kind of like rotten eggs is what it would smell like. it's heavier than air, it's extremely poisonous, this could be dangerous just being anywhere near this mountain, and flammable and explosive as well. that's why you want to continue search and rescue efforts, cold weather and snow at these elevations are very close in the next couple weeks, when we head into the heart of the autumn season. but the concern is quite high with another eruption, because the previous ones had not had

any subsequent smaller eruptions to follow in this particular one. it's a perspective of what the folks here -- the long hard climb to get up there, the firefighters, all of them trekking through this region. predicting eruptions extremely challenging, of course, just like earthquakes, it is exceedingly rare to have an eruption of this magnitude with very little in the way of volcanic earthquakes. there were a few. on september 11th, the japan meteorology community warned a possibility existed but it was very small, there was no swelling, no kbround deformation, no gases released. they left the warning at a minimal. dangerous situation right now. >> there's even some video of those hikers who saw the eruption take place in front of them, and they scrambled for safety. >> scary.

>> lives lost there, pedram thank you for breaking that all down for us. the protesters are staying put for now, but hong kong's chief executive has sent them a very strong message. what do the protesters have to say. find out later this hour. layer after layer of fences separate a tiny section of spain from north africa. why this could be the most dangerous border in europe. or parmesan crusted shrimp scampi... as much as you like, any way you like! hurry in and sea food differently.

here are the world's biggest stories we're tracking for you right now. beijing will not back down. pro democracy demonstrators are

demanding the chief's resignation. and they want beijing to give up veto power many fear a police crackdown soon. sources in kobani, militants are three millimeters away. all 109 people aboard a south korean ferry have been rescued off the ship, ran into trouble off south korea's west coast. the ferry sent out a distress call near the island. the passengers and crew were all evacuated within about 10 minutes. clearing the streets are needed for emergency vicks that may need to pass through. so far, though, there's been no

repeat of violent encounters with police that led to dozens of injuryies. the situation is tense, but remains peaceful there. could be more protesters out tomorrow, though, which is a public holiday in hong kong. the world really watching closely to see what happens next. i understand the protesters were inundated by some of the protests over the weekend. thanks for joining us on cnn. i want to get your reaction to what was said a few hours ago, beijing won't back down. and universal sufferage is coming. what do you make of the statement a short time ago? >> that's not a great response to tens of thousands

demonstrating here. we want our vote. >> the establishment in hong kong is watching this, it appears these demonstrators, you and the other young people who have been out have sent a scary message to those who believe in the status quo, that is, you all want to see some kind of change. but were you shocked to have tear gas used on you over the weekend? i know this is a rare type of exchange. how did that really change this demonstration? the use of tear gas? >> definitely something very shocking. i was there today -- it's totally rare that something that hasn't been heard of -- and the amazing thing -- we went back o

to -- after that, we just marched back to the riot police and hang around. that's amazing thing about hong kong people. all we have right now is umbrella and the ten cent surgical face masks. no weapons, we are peaceful. they unleash tear gas on us, that makes us more determined for what we want. >> the tear gas not diminishing your resolve at all. is this really the best chance you have? i know this was born out of the occupy movement, that really is economically based. you want -- or really politically based. you want political reforms, if you want to bring about these changes, won't chokes the city streets, the fireworks show tomorrow will be cancelled, the world is watching this. could this end up hurting hong kong more than helping? is this the only option you have as a demonstrator?

>> well, hurting hong kong is not the only way out that we can see. if the government responds to our requests, we would go home and celebrate with our holiday tomorrow and the day after. we need the government to respond to our requests. and i don't think our requests is outrageous at all. it's reasonable that we want to have a right to select our own leader. >> a few seconds left, it seems as though nothing's going to change, if nothing changes, will you and the other dumben straighters stay on the streets. >> we will continue for sure, we can see the crowd getting bigger and bigger. more people are joining us after their work, and more people will join us tomorrow as it is the holiday. i think the movement will escalate and happen in a lot of places in hong kong. not just the financial center, a central -- but also in other

places as well. >> thank you for speaking with me on the line. one of many demonstrators who was encouraged since the tear gas was used. edward believes these demonstrations will continue to grow, and more areas will be targeted by demonstrators. stay safe, thanks for speaking with us on cnn today, and also, the censorship of social media in mainland china has spiked since the protests began, according to weboscope, about 152 of every 10,000 posts were being blocked as of sunday. hong kong was the most commonly deleted term. in hong kong itself, protesters are coming up with new ways to spread their message. samuel burke explains how they're doing it. >> instagram has joined the long list of social networks unavailable behind china's great firewall, which already include

twitter, facebook and youtube. protesters in congress hong were uploading their images to instagram as is ivan watson, uploading to his account. you're seeing his pictures on screen right now. the images could be viewed in mainland china until sunday, when chinese sensors appear to have blocked access to instagram. you can check websites like blocked in china bnt net to see reports of what sites are blocked in mainland china. as you can see on your screen, instagram is blocked in all the regions they monitor many outside of mainland china, protesters have not recorded censorship of social media. cellular internet connection is moving slowly. typical in any place where there are protests. many in hong kong have turned to fire chat app which doesn't need an app. you can send text messages and

photos, you just need wifi or bluetooth. it was downloaded 100,000 times in hong kong alone between sunday and monday. to the fight against isis, the mill tanneds have an advance on the syrian city of kobani. the fastest flight of refugees in syria's 3-year civil war is taking place. the observatory says more than 200,000 syrian kurds have been displaced. and most are seeking safety along the turkish border, many of them women and children. they desperately all of them need aide, arwa damon tells us about the dangers they're trying to escape. >> you could see isis fighters actually moving around on the syrian side with complete impunity. we also saw mortars landing on the town of kobani itself.

reports of three civilians wounded. unclear at this stage which casualties were caused by that. the population there calling for the coalition to do even more. because isis at this stage does not seem to be significantly impacted by the coalition air strikes. >> now, even though it's very far away, some of the refugees arwa was speaking of, can be found on what's been called the most dangerous border in europe. fortress like fences separate malia from north africa. refugees are still getting through there, and there's fear the jihadists could too. >> the security perimeter in malia, a triple layer of six meter high barriers. it's not enough. thousands of desperate migrants make their way into melia and on

to europe's very doorstep. many end up here at this temporary immigration center. originally built to house 400 refugees, it now holds more than 2,000. this man is a kurd on the syrian/turkey border, many of his family members are still fighting to hold off an isis advance. >> there are more than 1,000 syrian refugees here. 150 from kobani alone. the spanish authorities say we'll need permission from madrid to enter the center.

they showed us these pictures. depicting the squalor inside. often they tell us there's nowhere to sleep. many say they've spent their last savings on buying a forged moroccan passport to get here. they're allowed to enter melia to work and trade. thousands do every day. that ease of movement has been exploited for years by gangs smuggling people looking for a better life in europe. now the spanish authorities fear it's being exploited by would-be jihadis. once in melia, the european mainland is just a ferry ride away. >> i asked him how much.

>> and every day they say, ten to 15 more syrians arrive, walking right past the spanish authorities. a back door into fortress europe. the mud track running past the detention center, spanish army vehicles take up position. they won't tell us why, but tensions are high since the spanish authorities arrested a man suspected to be the leader of an isis cell in melia last week, the latest of more than 20 to be arrested here this year, on terror related charges much the spanish government has admitted its worried not all that come here are simply seeking refuge. for the syrians trapped so far from home, it feels like once more they're causing the crossfire of the war between isis and the west.

coming up next, an enthusiastic welcome in new york is followed by a white house dinner with the u.s. president. we're live in india, with reaction to the country's prime minister's visit to the states.

welcome back, everyone. israel is warning the u.n. not

to let the battle with isis to impose threats on others. he wants world leaders to recognize isis and hamas, they have a common goal. >> the same countries that now support confronting isis oppose israel for confronting hamas. they evidently don't understand that isis and hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree. militant islam is on the march. it's not militants. it's not islam it's militant islam. typically its first victims are other muslims but it spares no one. >> in his address, the delegates last week, palestinian authority

mahmoud abbas accused israel of raging a war of again side in gaza. later the palestinian an bass door to the u.n. called israel's offensive in gaza a failure both militarily and diplomatically. >> you can try to say whatever you want, but when you kill 2,200 civilians. a majority of them are children and women. and you're injuring 11,000 civilians. the majority of them are children and woman. these are fact that speaks for themselves. >> now, mr. netanyahu has consistently put the blame for palestinian debts on hamas for firing rockets on to israel. india's prime minister is in washington for a second meeting with u.s. president barack obama.

he was at the white house for a private dinner, he didn't eat, he's fasting. the leaders will meet again in the oval office tuesday. with a number of issues to discuss, including economic growth, security and climate change. still to come here for you on cnn, a close race for president in brazil. and gay rights have quickly become a central issue. we'll look at this after the break. could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away

welcome back, everyone, we were just telling you before the break, we're hours away from a meeting with the indian prime minister. it's quite successful if you look at the headlines and news coverage of it, the size of people that have welcomed the new prime minister, he's also besides the u.s. president, met with business leaders and all of this is one thing, the shaking of hands. what can he or what is he promises behind the scenes that business leaders doing business in india will be easier in the future. i know that's one of his big hurdles? >> well, for right now, errol, he's really pitching brand. typical ceo style of governance, he's pitching brand india to investors.

he's talking about the joint or shared alliance the countries share. the fact that america is the oldest democracy, the largest democracy, india has an enormous, amazing demographic dividend. the fact that 65% of the country's population is below the age of 35. there's a huge demand here, not just for products, consumer products like iphones, burgers and nike shoes, but also for massive infrastructure projects. india is looking to build roads, revamp its railways. india is open for business, and that is essentially what modi is pitching, will he deliver? how is he going to do this? is he going to change those archaic labor laws? is he going to make land acquisition easier in this country? these are questions that are being asked by the investors as well, that is yet to be scene.

these are contentious issues in the country. he's saying all the right things, sending the right message and trying to change the perception of india on this global stage. errol? >> i think i heard him comment that india is known for its red tape and how difficult it is for business owners and leaders to get things done. he wants to cut through that, this is all wonderful, everyone likes what they're hearing, they want to see the results, see change come to the countries. great to see you, thanks. gay rights are taking center stage in brazil's hotly contested presidential race. polls show the incumbent leading, a runoff is expected. >> reporter: a tender moment at a wedding that saw 12 gay and lesbian couples march down the aisle and declare i do in a ceremony three years ago.

gay rights are a big issue in the upcoming presidential elections. >> we don't tell people who to vote for, he says, but we always say vote against homophobia and vote for people committed to all human rights. but even he's surprised at how much play gay rights are getting ahead of the october 5 ballot thanks largely to marina silva. the socialist party candidate known for his politics. when she unveiled her government program and vowed to support proposals defending same sex marriage. a popular televangelist lamb ba lambasted her on program. the president who's been falling in the polls seized on the gap and declared if re-elected she would push through a law

criminalizing homophobia. gay rights have long been central for some parties, the socialism and freedom party features same sex kisses in its tv ads. john willis, the country's first openly gay lawmaker says mainstream politicians are going after the protest vote, but the result is positive. >> i'm happy even though there are preconceptions he says, people are debating these issues in bars and coffee shops and on social networks. people here just hope those electoral promises are met. >> many gay and lesbian weddings have been celebrated right here in this church. par identificationeners tell us they want a law that makes the marriage between two people of the same sex legal. shasta darlington, cnn sao paolo. we turn to europe, a series of storms have soaked the

mediterranean in recent days. how does it look? >> hopefully the clooneys get out of venice, big storms headed in that direction across northern italy. at this point it's western mediterranean region. getting severe storms moving in toward the east of madrid. take you to the south of france where we have conditions looking like this on monday afternoon, this is the river bursting its banks. montpelier has a population of a quarter million people. it's the highest populated city across the south of france. tremendous rainfall there tripling their monthly average. oer 10 inches came down, and all of that wet weather moving in across portions of italy. a severe weather threat across this region. giza, one of the areas of concern for severe weather. spending some holiday time in that area. this region seeing active weather across the past couple

days, the forecast keeps it rough. the rainfall we talked about, 10 inches in just a matter of four hours on monday afternoon. that is about 46% of the annual rainfall across this region in just a few hours time. pretty impressive stuff. i want to take you through the united states. we have had some severe weather on the eastern portion of the state of colorado, where it's known as hail ally, it has the highest number of hail reports on our planet. look at the video here coming out of the suburbs of denver, this is a car dealership across this region, receiving significant damage. the owner of the dealership says he has 500 cars in his lot, every single one of them received some sort of damage. in excess of thousands of dollars repair per vehicle. sharing with us the hail storm from a backyard, this is a denver suburb, 40%, nearly 40%
