>> we lue you odin. hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> great to have you with us. live to hong kong, protesters are spending china's national holiday speaking out against beiji beijing. we will take you to the scene. also ahead -- >> i wish to god you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> tough words for the head of the u.s. secret service about how a fence jumper at the white house was able to get all the way inside. but first -- >> the federal centers for disease control has confirmed

that a patient admitted to this hospital has tested positive for ebola virus. >> doctors have diagnosed the first case of ebola inside the united states. should americans be concerned? >> yeah, and we will answer that for you. a man in texas has become the first person diagnosed with ebola inside the united states. the patient did not show any signs of the disease when he arrived from liberia almost two weeks ago now. he is now in isolation at a dallas hospital. >> a city official says this ambulance stayed in service for two days after transporting the patient, but the official says it was thoroughly disinfected. meantime, hospital officials say they're following strict protocols to ensure safety. >> the hospital has been and is following all the cdc and the texas department of health recommendations to protect the safety of our patients, our

medical and other staff, volunteers, physicians, and visitors. >> the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention has been working closely with texas state authorities and hospital officials. the head of the agency says he is confident that this particular case of eebola will not spread in the united states. take a listen. >> ebola is a scary disease because of the severity of illness it causes. and we're really hoping for the recovery of this individual. at the same time, we're stopping it in its tracks in this country. we can do that because of two things. strong healthcare infection control that stops the spread of ebola and strong core public health functions that trace contacts, track contacts, isolate them if they have any symptoms and stop the chain of transmission. we're stopping this in its tracks.

>> now, according to the latest figures from the world health organization, there are now more than 3,000 confirmed or suspected dpet deaths from ebola in west africa. more than 6,500 cases of the virus. the fast majority of those cases and those deaths coming in liberia, guinea and sierra leon. a handful also reported in senegal and nigeria. >> so what sort of threat does ebola pose in the united states. and what does this latest infection mean for the global fight against ebola. a short time ago, i spoke with a doctor from the baylor college of medicine. he's an expert on infectious diseases and vaccination. doctor, thank you so much for being with us. i wanted to look at this, this first diagnosed case of ebola in the united states. tell us how concerned should people be in america?

>> it's really not great cause for concern. i think it's important to point out that while ebola is a very dangerous pathogen, it's also not very easy to transmit. so the likelihood that this one case will lead to an epidemic in dallas or texas is very remote, close to zero. so from that standpoint, i do not' it as is a serious public health threat. we have the federal agency, the cdc and the state health department tracking down contacts and providing isolation measures. so i think we're actually in very good hands. >>'s come tear the level of care in patient would have gotten compared to staying in africa.

>> they've enerjed out of years of wars and conflict. they have a depleted health care infrastructure. not an adequate number of beds. not adequate protective care for health care providers. no mechanism to trace contacts. however, that situation, too, is changing. remember, by sending in 3,000 troops, bringing in the united states army, this is going to help a lot, provide some type of infrastructure, which will create mechanisms for isolation, mechanisms to protect health care workers, and it's now going to create a mechanism to bring in new interventions, new drugs, new vaccines that you couldn't bring in otherwise in a very chaotic situation. >> and of course, we heard from cdc director dr. thomas friedman. he said he had no doubt this will be stopped in its tracks, but presumably, this is the beginning of more cases. people travel throughout the world. there will be more instances of this. we just need to get used to that. would you agree with that?

>> i don't think we're going to see a lot of cases. this is an infectious disease if you have -- if you're not showing symptoms at the time, you're not going to transmit this disease on airplanes. if you are sick at the time you board an airplane, chances are you're too sick to even think about going on an airplane. so just the dynamics of how the disease is transmitted and the way it transmitted is when somebody is actively having a febrile illness and sick will decrease the likelihood that we're going to see a lot of export. we have seen the vie lus in nru nigeria or senegal, but the epidemics there have been contained from everything we can see. >> all right so the headline out of this, no need to be concerned at this point. doctor, thank you so much for talking with us here on cnn.

we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> so looking at this four-day window. from wednesday until sunday when he first started feeling sick until sunday when he was admitted into hospital, they had to track down everyone who he may have come in contact with. >> that's right. >> then they got to find them and put them in isolation. >> but the reality is, there's no reason for concern. you have to have contact with the bodily fluids. and the chances of that are pretty slim. that's what people have to very much keep in mind. >> another big story, national day in china. a celebrationchina, but not a l of celebrations right now in hong kong. thousands of pro democracy protesters are on the street once again. they say today is the deadline for beijing to meet their demands for the right to choose their own leaders without china's intervention. last hour, i spoke with protest co-founder about how there's no actual leader to this group, and that's making it difficult for any negotiations.

>> noo one claims ownership of the movement. how to find a solution, whether you can have any kind of negotiation or you say the outside ore the negotiation, it's not a matter of negotiation. it's something that hong kong people showing their strong determination in wanting democracy. i think china must have to consider this. and china, our own government, must respond to the voice of the people. >> the problem, though, is that so far whenever the president in beijing has been faced with any kind of dissent, his response has been to take a hard line. when that doesn't work, he doubles down. are you ready for that? how far are you willing to push the communist leadership in beijing? >> well, i think i'm not trying to push anything. we are just here. not me, not me alone. actually, we have all the hong kong people.

we have nothing against the communist government. we are not questioning or challenging the sonch status of the communist government over hong kong. we are just here peacefully putting forth -- or just showing our determination in wanting democracy. and what we want is a right that we should all enjoy. and that's it, no more and no less. >> well, the very latest on the protests, andrea stevens joins us now live 23r6 hong kong. andrew, are the numbers expected to grow what's the view from there? >> just look around me, here, john, and you'll see that the numbers are growing. at this time of the day, you'll usually see not so many people here, but now there's a public holiday. we are seeing a lot of people coming here to give their support, lend their support to what's going on. and also just to see there's a bit of tourism going on here if you like.

a lot of people have just come down to see what is going on. as you look around you, you sort of see further up there, there's more and more people. it is just still before lunchtime. so not expected to see that many people until after lunch. but what i would say, it is becoming incredibly organized. much more organized every day i'm down here. i'm seeing more and more staal like you see here with water, with food, with protective gear in case there is a gas attack. umbrellas, we all know about the umbrellas. in fact, down this direction, someone has been building an umbrella sculpture. the umbrella has been seen as a symbol of this movement, because it was being handed out to fight off against pepper spray attacks at the weekend. many, many more signs and defiance, john. there's still a very, very clear line which we heard. they want this change in democracy. they want this change in how the candidates for the next chief executive, the leader of hong kong is chosen. and they want to see it

introduced by the hong kong government at the same time they want the leader of the hong kong administration to step down. a very important day in china's call listen dar. flags were raised here. it was a solemn ceremony. some students got down there, not many, but got down to where this ceremony was being carried out. and crossed their hand like this to say no, basically. a very silent protest, but a poignant one nonetheless. we are seeing quite a lot of these movements now around the city. there are three other key areas where people are also gathering. as this day wears on, we are expected to get more and more people joining. >> so andrew, beyond the protesters themselves, is there a sense now that this is settling into some kind of a prolonged confrontation?

>> unfortunately, i think andrew can hear us. but these protesters are now settling in for what does look to be the long haul. they are getting ready for a long standoff with the officials in beijing. and it's now the timing. who will blink first? will the protesters give in? will the beijing government give in? can they give? are they willing to give? and how far are they prepared to go? >> and if they do give in, how will that look? >> beijing isn't going to say okay, you can have your election, it's all good. but they now have to work out what will that work out in terms of getting something that they want. and without a leader, that makes that really difficult to come to terms. >> but also for china's president, there are no good choices here. he's going to lose faith here. but he's appearing to stand very firm. >> unless he is prepared to send

in the troops. and to maintain that very hard line we've seen in tibet, we've seen it against billionaire we've seen it against bloggers. there has been no one spared xiaoping's hard line. he's not willing to tolerate this for a long time. and the fact that they've kicked out so many foreign journalists from the mainland part of china, there's a lot of foreign reporters in hong kong not missing anything. >> we will take a very short break right now. but just ahead, air strikes are slowing down, but not stopping isis. even though the coalition has launched its most intensive round of bombings since the start of the war. we'll have more on that just ahead. >> also, legendary olympic simmer michael phelps is arrested again on charges of driving under the influence. stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night

the uk joined the fight on the bigsest day of air strikes so far. >> the pentagon announced hours ago the u.s. and its allies carried out 28 strike against the extremists over a 24-hour period. britain took part for the first time by bombing two isis positions in iraq.

they're hoping kurdish troops in the country. we have details on what the air strikes are accomplishing. >> reporter: british war planes carrying out their first attacks over iraq. isis still has momentum. hitting an iraqi base north of baghdad, the second major base to fall since coalition bombing began. now more u.s.-made weapons and armored vehicles in the hands of isis. the pentagon again warning air strikes alone will never get rid of isis and that oar strikes have limitations. >> this is a complicated, difficult, cultural, religious, geographic strug that will we're facing in iraq and syria.

it's not going to be solved overnight and through bombs. >> reporter: but the pentagon is feeling pressure about why it isn't doing more. one senior military official says, to expect isis to turn and run with its tail between its legs after a few air strikes was never part of our prediction. it was never part of the assumption. >> when we say we're going to go after them, we mean it. but i also think it's important to note that while we continue to hit them where they are, it doesn't mean we can or even that we should hit them everywhere they are at every moment. we must choose. we must discriminate. we're willing to be careful and patient and precise. the pentagon calls it dynamic targeting. war planes patrol a designated grid in the sky over iraq and syria, looking for isis fighter, vehicles and weapons. they call in a target to a

command center, get permission and launch their weapons. but what will it really take to destroy isis? >> some degree of u.s. presence is going to be essential if we actually want to destroy isis. if we're solely in the mode of containing isis, we can do that without u.s. troops, but i don't think that's the wise strategy in the long run. >> u.s. military commanders continue to say that air strikes alone will never defeat isis, but they do say they're beginning to see some limited impact. isis fighters staying off the roads, hiding out, staying off their cell phones, doing anything they can to avoid u.s. and coalition air strikes. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. and turkey could soon send troops into iraq and syria to battle isis. turkish lawmakers began debating on tuesday whether to play a more active role in the international military campaign. turkish tanks are already near

the syrian border which is under siege. about 150,000 syrians have fled to turkey just since last week. >> we'll take a short break right now, but still to come here on cnn -- >> don't let somebody get close to the president. don't let somebody get close to his family. don't let them get in the white house ever. >> i wish to god you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> angry u.s. lawmakers want to know why an intruder was able to get far inside the white house. the secret service director under fire. that's next. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well:

jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. e financial noise financial noise financial noise

financial noise >> welcome back, everyone. the director of the secret service is coming under brutal criticism for an incident at the white house. >> the committee wants to know how an intruder was able to get well inside the executive mansion. >> go back, everybody into the park. >> 42-year-old omar gonzalez seen here bolting across the white house lawn was stopped by just one on-duty secret service officer in the white house, and a source briefed on the breach says two off-duty officers heard the commotion and assisted. "the washington post" reports one of those agents had been

guarding the obama daughters just four minutes earlier before they left with the president on marine one. >> i have asked for a full review. it's obvious, it is obvious that mistakes were made. >> for nearly four hours today, the director of the secret service julia pierson was grilled by congress on how omar gonzalez, an iraq war veteran was able to make it inside. >> don't let somebody get close to the president. don't let someone get close to his family. >> i wish to god you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> i don't want anyone to imagine, imagine, imagining that they can pierce the protective veil of the secret service. >> pierson admitted at least two secret service agents recognized gonzalez from previous incidents, even before he jumped the fence. >> they observed him for some time. he wasn't acting inappropriately. he didn't violate any laws.

>> but they did not -- they did not report that and they did not approach him, correct? >> i think they noted that, but they did not approach him. >> pierson admitted today that after jumping the fence, gonzalez made it past five rings of security, dashing 70 yards across the iconic front lawn and into the building's unlocked front door. inside, pierson said he overpowered an agent at the north entrance and made a left turn through the red carpeted cross hall before briefly run into the east room and finally being arrested. committee members pressed the director on why the secret service didn't disclose just how far gonzalez made it into the white house, the struggle, and told the public gonzalez was unarmed. >> i know when mr. gonzalez was placed into custody he was found to have a folded knife in his right front pants pocket. >> do you consider that a weapon? >> that is a weapon. >> why would the secret service put out an official press release saying -- put out a statement to the associated

press, did you ever correct -- did you correct the associated press? did you call them back and say you got that wrong? >> i have no knowledge of that. >> through the contentious hearing, members of congress laid out a laundry list of secret service failures including lack of training, failure to lock the front door and the decision not to use more force to stop gonzalez. an argument former secret service officials dispute. >> we could easily be sitting here today discussing why an iraq veteran, possibly suffering through post traumatic stress disorder e, armed with only a pocket knife was shot dead on the north lawn. >> pamela brown, cnn, roy. -- washington. >> shootings at two u.s. schools on tuesday sent two students to the hospital and forced lockdowns. shots were fired at a louisville, kentucky, high school. police say the gunman fled the scene. they later arrested one teenag boy. one student suffered nonlife threatening injuries. >> too early in the investigation to determine anything, whether it's a motive

or what the relation is to the two involved. but again, i can at least say that it is secure at this point. and we're thankful that the vick tum's injuries are not life threatening and the suspect has been apprehended. >> one student was shot and another taken into custody in north carolina. two males were arguing in front of the building when the suspect pulled a gun. michamichael phelps is apologizing to his fans after being arrested for drooiing under the influence. he was charged with crossing double lines and excessive speed. he was going 84 miles an hour in a 45-mile-an-hour zone. phelps pleaded guilty in a previous dui case back in 2004. the national football league admit once of its officials got it wrong by penalizing a player for an end zone celebration. it happened to kansas city chiefs player abdullah, a devout

muslim. he slid to his knees in prayer after an interception monday night and that drew a penalty for unsportsman like conduct. but on tuesday, the league says no player should be penalized for a religious celebration. abdullah did not seem to be bothered by the controversy, but on twitter, critics have pointed out that christian players often pray after touchdowns and they're not penalized. >> all right, well, it is national day across china and hong kong. but that's not stopping protesters from pushing ahead with their demands for full democracy in hong kong. we will take you there live. >> also, new concerns about tunnels dug by north korea into the south. do they extend all the way to seoul? first the cookie at check-in.... then a little time to kick back. earn double hilton honors points with the 2 "x" points package and be one step closer to a weekend break. doubletree by hilton. where the little things mean everything.

and organizers hope more people will join the demonstrations. hong kong's chief executive says the protests are illegal and will not persuade beijing to change its mind. andrew stevens is on the streets of hong kong's financial district. among the protesters there, and he joins us live with the very latest. so andrew, the hope for these organizers is that they would have more people. talk to us about the numbers on the street, and also just how organized they are. >> well, the numbers are swelling. it's still not the size that we have seen in the peaks of the last two days. but it is expected that after lunchtime, the numbers will substantially rise. but having said that, you will still see there is a lot of people here. there are probably still hens of thousands of people here. when it gets busy, you can not see any of the tarmac on the road here. it is completely crowded. but more and more people are arriving. and the mess today continues to

be very much one of defiannance one of peaceful defiance. we've heard from the chief executive on this, the national day of china, the chief executive of hong kong saying pretty much, reiterating what he's said all year long. there's no room for the hong kong government, the hong kong leadership side or the beijing side. we've just been hearing from the leader of the occupy hong kong movement, up with of the movements around b this protest site. he was also saying that we the people have made our demands. we want to change the democratic process, we want to change the leadership here in hong kong. and that is what we will accept only. it was interesting. he was saying that he hasn't been dealing with the leadership here in hong kong. there doesn't seem to be any dialogue between the two sides at the moment. he says the government has to speak to all of hong kong people now if they want to get an

understanding and a path to follow next. it is a standoff still. so on that point, i want to bring in mr. michael davis, professor michael davis. he's with the law faculty at the university of hong kong. michael, welcome back to the show. china national day, particularly. this is a massive loss of face, as they say, in china for the chinese leadership to have this many people clearly demonstrating against china's decisions. >> absolutely. and this tends to get their backs up. and that's why i think a lot of people in hong kong are worried. what are they going to do next? they're not noted in being gentle in treating protesters and so on. but i think they have to appreciate that hong kong is a different place. this is not the mainland. this is not tiananmen square this is hong kong. >> again, beijing has been trying to paint a picture of the people here as sort of rebels, hot heads, if you like. i mean, it's not a true

indication at all. these are just normal, regular students wanting to see a democratic process, isn't it? >> absolutely. and beijing should be aware of this. these are our kids. they're not hot heads. i fill my classes with them. when i go to the mainland, i see a lot of young people of a similar spirit. they're not mean spirited. they're almost in kind of a celebration of democracy mood. >> you are an visitor so benny tai, the leader of the occupy hong kong movement. what advice are you giving to him? what does he want to see happen next? >> i'm not an adviser. i'm a colleague. among the academic community we try to reach out to them collectively a lot of us. and we have dialogue and discussion. i guess that, of course, we want the same goal they want.

that's the stand of everybody. especially after the students and others were gassed here. but also at the same time, we're hoping the government will step up. i mean, they got, of course, to deal with people here. and i think the thinking that's really important is for the leadership of this protest to come together and form some kind of cohesive group. >> that is a worry, isn't it? at the moment, listening, there doesn't seem to be any dialogue or any focus, even if the hong kong government wanted to negotiate to talk, who do they talk to? >> well, that's it. and so i think that has to be sorted out. and i suppose they have to have a collective decision that we don't know what's going on. it's a bit opaque at the moment. i think hong kong people would like to know as well, you know, just who is leading this, what is the direction, where are they going? there's demands made, but it needs to be something that goes further. and suggests a path out of the problem to get to the goals that people are asking for. >> interesting, the suggestion

today that these protests are supposed to run for several more days. michael, as always, great to speak to you. michael davis here, professor of law at the hong kong university. i was speaking to some students a few hours ago about what they wanted from this protest. and how long they were planning to stay here for. this is what they had to say. >> definitely, i think the main target is to have a democracy, a true democracy. and for more detail, this is a very important time for hong kongers to have a really true democracy system. like we should not expect a political reform. >> so you want full universal suffrage for the candidates and the election. we've seen the police respond with pepper spray and tear gas once. does it worry you that it could happen again or it will happen again? >> of course i'm afraid that it will happen again.

and i'm not sure if it will happen again but i'm prepared and i have no fear because the people have already experienced that and i have no fear. i am with them. >> have you seen anything like this, this sort of movement among the students of hong kong before? have you seen them this united? >> i have never seen this scene in hong kong before. but it is similar to the student movement in china 25 years ago. >> you're talking about tiananmen square? >> yeah, yeah. >> do you really think that you can change beijing's mind? >> i think at least we can change hong kong people's mind. because some people still think that this movement is damaging the economics. and i think this movement shows

our determination. and i hope we can touch them and let more hong kongers to come out and fight for true democracy. >> were you surprised by the hong kong police action with the pepper spray, the tear gas? did that surprise you? >> yes, really. because this is not this is not fair decision for them to use such weapon because we are just sitting here. we are peaceful. we didn't do any -- >> actually, i'm not surprised because i know what they should do. they are ordered to have this action. so i'm not surprised. >> yeah. i have never seen this before. so i am surprised. >> some voices there from the streets from these protesters. this is now a defining moment for hong kong students, for these students who have been

down here as we go into our fourth day. they have achieve sod much. they have brought this issue of democracy to a -- to a level of public discourse, to a point where beijing is being forced to take notice. so they do see that they have made victory so far. they still want to push further. this may go on for a few more days yet, but certainly the students have made a very, very strong and what many say lasting point here inform hong kong. >> and andrew, what is striking there when you were talking to those students was that they are all so young. you mentioned tiananmen square to them. of course, for a lot of them, they wouldn't even have been alive at that time. so they know how this could end. they don't seem to be afraid of that outcome. but we're dealing with a standoff here with beijing saying they're not giving in. the protesters there -- i mean, if they do stay for weeks and

perhaps months, how could this look? >> well, if it went that long, it would start to look very, very ugly indeed, rosemary. i doubt whether that will happen. speaking to wiser heads here, at the moment, there is support for this movement across hong kong. not everybody in hong kong says they're going to come out and protest, but they do see what the students are trying to achieve here and they do broadly support it. this is causing a huge drups to the financial hub. if it continues for days or weeks it's going ton avenue economic impact. that's going to turn many hong kongers into critics.

so it could be a case, they have made a strong point. this may peter out in the next few days. maybe get into the middle of next week, it may start losing some steam because hong kongers will start to say we nood our city back. if that happens, that could be a signal for the hong kong government to get people out. nobody can they with any degree of insurance, there will be anything like the reaction we saw in tee yen nen 1989. the chien need say themselves, that was 25 years ago. we have changed a country. we have learned lessons from that, and we will judge the situation from the lessons we have learned. so yes, xiaoping has been hard on cracking down on dissidents, but to take it to another level of violence, big violence on the

streets, i would say unlikely. >> we are watching this very closely. the world is watching this very closely because history has shown us it can go in a violent direction. many thanks to you. of course, i think finding the off ramp will be the difficult part in all of this. and i have a feeling that the chief executives will be the one to fall on his sword for the good of everyone. which is the very chinese way of dealing with a crisis like this. >> the protesters have been calling for his resignation. that might be a tidy way. then the president of china won't lose face and they can move forward. >> we'll take a short break. when we come back, a story from a teenager from england who joined a violent cause. now his mother is grieving. he was killed so far away.

>> welcome back. the air strikes targeting isis are taking a toll that extends far yond the battlefields. a university student from england ran away to syria months ago to join the jihad and last week he died there. >> his mother is now grieving, wondering how it came to this. >> seaside britain, home of fish

>> kw0e78 back. a retired south korean general has new warnings about north korean tunnels dug deep into his country. they run beneath the demilitarized zone that divides the peninsula. >> for years, leaders this seoul have known about the tunnels, be

uh as paula hancocks report, some of these underground passengers may reach far deeper into south korea than previously thought. >> seen as a tourist attraction rather than a military threat these days, an infiltration tunnel dug from north korea to south korea, passing over the most heavily fortified area on earth. but the defense ministry admits there may be 20 in all. the major general believes he's discovered a new one under a seoul apartment block. a former two-star general, now a tunnel hunter, he says residents complained of underground vibrations back in march. he then detected three tunnels, up to 12 meters under the basement. his team drilled down to lower a camera. but before they could, hans said their recorder picked up two underground explosions, their drill holes were then blocked. the work, he is certain, of north korean soldiers protecting the tunnel. >> they work hard to make a

stone pipe to come down the tube. >> this north korean defector was a senior intelligence official in the military. he hides his identity as he still has family in the north. he says the tunnel digging lasted decades before scaling down in the late 90s, but he believes existing tunnels would still be protected. if war breaks out, he say, infantry units will be sent into the tunnels wearing south koreian and u.s. military uniforms. the targets are u.s. forces in korea and taking hostages at the u.s. embassy. then the blue house and the communications and gas supply system will be hit. south korea's defense ministry says a tunnel would not reach seoul. 40 kilometers, or 25 miles from the border. it sighs there's a ten kilometer or six-mile limit because of the river. from north korea to seoul is a considerable distance, says this

spokesman. and the soil structure contains a lot of granite. so it's not an easy dig like it was digging tunnels in vietnam, for example. north korea has said in the past the tunnels are not for invasion, but part of their mining industry. >> with pyongyang's nuclear ambitions, the focus is no longer on these tunnels. the military still officially looks for them, but the budget is small. leaving tunnel hunters frustrated, believing that their concerns are simply not being taken seriously. pau pau paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. >> seven more bodies have been recovered by rescues on mount hotaki. those are in addition to the 36 who are known to have died after the volcano erupted in japan on saturday. reports say as many as 20 victims still remain unaccounted for. authorities estimate there were up to 250 hikers in the area at the time of the eruption. it's a popular tourist destination.

and for more, let's bring in our meteorologist ivan cabrera. so ivan, this is just a horrifying story, isn't it? give us an idea, there was a sense that there was going to be another eruption. >> well, what we have right now is an interruption, not because of that, but, in fact, weather conditions. things got a little bit windy so they decided to call off the search. and of course, the victims that we're talking about here, likely got caught up in what we call this pyroclasti flow, the plume of cloud, fluid mixed with hot rock and can reach temperatures up to 1,300 degrees. and speeds of 160 kilometres per hour. you can not outrun that. the people that survived were out on the leading edge of it here, so they were able to get down the mountain quicker here. but unfortunately, now, weather conditions have interrupted the search. as far as what we have going on, we have a do not approach, which means that they've lowered actually the level.

we've gone to level three here. so do not approach volcano. that basically means they do not want folks getting anywhere near it because of the potential of additional eruptions here. but let's take you to the scene and show you what's been happening in the last 24 hours here. what we have is the rescue efforts are at this point, looks like recovery efforts that are ongoing there because of a feature that moves through, a weather system that moved through. winds got gusty there so they decided to call off the search. i must say, it does not look all that impressive on satellite or anything else. but nevertheless, that's what's going on. we do have other weather systems moving through that are going to be stronger here. we have the potential for very gusty winds in the next couple of days. we have a series of troughs that are going to be moving in from the northwest to the southeast. there's the location of the volcano. and there you see this line of showers and storms beginning to roll through. so we'll keep you posted on that. what you also see is a cloud down to the south.

that is our next system that we're going to be watching here, our typhoon that just developed. it was a tropical storm yesterday. it's out over guam right now, going to head over the northwest north and west. it has a potential to become even a super typhoon. it's going to be close to that in about 72 hours. 230 miles an hour winds. that is a very impressive storm and we have two model tracks here. we have one group that is pushing further to the west and another group further to the east. we're bisecting that and that's the official forecast. so in about 96 hours, just south of tokyo, we could be looking at a very strong typhoon impacting the region here. just depends on the trough timing, that tip in the jet stream as far as the strength and the track. we'll keep you posted. this would be a weekend and early next week event. and it could be very serious one. in fact, for japan. guys? >> one to keep an eye on. ivan, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> and you have been watching cnn's special coverage.
