1:00 am
know that that young person will be starting a career with all kinds of possibilities. >> to see how the program disrupts the cycle of poverty for hundreds of vietnamese youth and to nominate someone you think should be a cnn hero, go to cnnheroes.com. that's it for us tonight. thanks for watching. the scenes of outrage in iran as protesters hit the streets after the united states backs out of the iran nuclear deal. also ahead, while trying to defend president trump, rudy giuliani suggests mr. trump personally tried to block the at&t time warner merger. >>. and the royal wedding now one week away. we'll take you inside the chaple will prince harry and meghan markle will tie the knot. >> i know you're a guy, but are you getting a little excited?
1:01 am
>> i kind of am. >> how could you not. welcome to our viewers around the world. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. just days after u.s. president donald trump rejected the historic nuclear deal with iran, anti-american emotions were on full display in the iranian capital. the fate of a nuclear agreement now hangs in the balance. >> the nation's foreign minister heads to brussels next week to meet with his counterparts from germany, trance and tfrance and seeking ways to keep the deal alive without the u.s. involved. >> and if that last ditch effort fails, tehran warns it may restart its uranium enrichment program on a, quote, industrial scale. complicating the situation is the potential for military clashes between iran and israel.
1:02 am
ian lee is in the go plan heighgolan heights. and fred pleitgen is in iran. let's talk about the mood of those people. we saw the images. has this move by the u.s. president in any way tipped the bhal between m balance between moderates and the hardliners? >> reporter: i don't think it's done that yet. the moderates and hardliners seem to be moving together forward. the minister trying to salvage the deal, that is something that is sanctioned by iran's supreme leader even though they are being more critical of rohani oig and t and the moderate government. so at least they have a common position on how to move forward.
1:03 am
as far as the mood on the ground here, there are certainly a lot of people who are extremely concerned about the situation especially the fact that they see that their country might be even more isolated than it has been in the past. and then you have the conservatives who really unleashed their anger at president trump and at israel yesterday. we were at those rallies. here's what we saw. after friday prayers, thousands of iranians marched through tehran burning the american flag. stepping on the american flag. unleashing their anger. many of those taking part in the demonstration waving signs ripping in to president trump. iran's hardliners want to send a clear message to president trump. no matter how hard the u.s. is on iran, they will not back down. protesters also lashing out at israel after the exchange of fire between iran and israel in the golan heights and syria,
1:04 am
even though tehran has not acknowledged its forces were involved. but most of the anger is directed at president trump after he pulled the u.s. out of the nuclear agreement. >> we have came here to all the people and mr. trump that we stand against mr. trump. >> i want to say to american people that we are very sorry that they have elected such a president. >> translator: i hope we become so strong that nobody can threaten us and that my country will not fear anything or anyone. >> reporter: at friday prayers, the hard line breyer leline pra calling them enemies of religion. >> translator: we are not interested in the atomic bomb, but we are increasing our missile capabilities and other fields so that israel cannot sleep well.
1:05 am
if she gets yeah zcrazy, we wil tel aviv to dust. >> reporter: whiand the hardlin already appear to be gearing up for confrontations to come. and george, it really was quite a week here for iranians with the u.s. pulling out of that nuclear agreement and then of course the altercation that happened in the golan heights. and the supreme leader ripping into president trump. and the supreme leader then actually visited a book fair later and he then apparently did some reading there on his arch nemesis, he was seen in a picture reading "fire and fury," reading a copy of that. unclear what he thought of the book about that and what he thought of the contents. but certainly an interesting picture that we saw, seemingly the supreme leader reading up on his arch them miss in washingne
1:06 am
d.c. >> an interesting picture indeed. thanks. ian lee is in golan heights. israel supports the u.s. pulling out of the iran deal, brut what is that doinging to tensions there? we've already seen the iran rockets fired there this week. >> reporter: yeah, you do have tense times especially this last week here in the golan heights. and with israel saying that they are maintaining their red lines inside syria, and one is that they don't want iran to have a large presence there. and with the united states pulling out of the nuclear deal, that just raised the tensions in the region. it has calmed down for now, but this is a cycle that we've been seeing where every few months you see these tensions rise, last february notably we had
1:07 am
that liranian drone that infiltrated air space, israel retaliated by going after iranian targets inside syria. and then you saw another round of israeli strikes inside of syria. and now this last week, you have dozens of iranian targets that were hit, the defense minister saying that almost every iranian sites were hit during that wrra. you have likely iran trying to rebuild what they lost, but the key thing, iran says that they will stay in syria. for israel, that is something that they just do not want to have. so expect to see this up flare of violence again. >> and we'll have more about this next issue in a moment, but the u.s. will also move its embassy to jerusalem this week. what is that doing to perhaps elevate already high tensions?
1:08 am
>> reporter: yeah, the tensions are really moving from the golan to gaza. the palestinians are furious about this move. and over the past month, month and a half, we've been watching these weekly demonstrations called the march of return and this is where palestinians inside gaza say they want to return to lands that they lost during the 1948, 1949 war with israel, which are now in israel. many of these people are refugees or descendants of refugees. and this has created a lot of tension that border where you have thousands coming to that border trying to cross over, many of them trying to cross over, and israel responding with tear gas as well as live ammunition. dozens of people have been killed by israeli soldiers. and some of those include children and journalists. israel has been condemned for that talking to israeli officials, they say that they will investigate it, but really it comes down to that line, that
1:09 am
border, they say they do not want anyone crossing over. that is a red line for them. and they say that they won't allow anyone to try to cross it. and so with this next -- on monday when they will move the embassy, expect the largest demonstrations we've seen which will probably mean expect some of the largest violence that woo we've seen so far too. >> all right. ian, thank you for your reporting. back here in the united states, the president's new attorney is again making statements that put his client, well, in a tough spot. >> rudy giuliani tells the huffington "post" the president, quote, denied the merger between at&t and cnn's prarent company time warner. and that flies in the face of everything else that was said. >> reporter: rudy giuliani is causing another headache for the white house and now also the
1:10 am
justice department. it is all because of comments he made in an interview with the huffington "post." giuliani told the "post" that whatever lobbying michael cohen did on behalf of companies like at&t who paid him for consulting as we've recently learned did not work. giuliani used the example of at&t's proposed merger with time warner. now the justice department blocked that merger, they sued to try to stop it because they said that it would harm consumers. but giuliani said in his interview that it was the president who denied that merger. now, that matters because the justice department is supposed to operate independent of the president. and they said that they sued to block the merger without any sort of interference from the president or any sort of political bias. rudy giuliani's comments fly in the face of that and in fact there was even a sworn after the from the head of the antitrust division for the justice department saying that he was not influenced at all by the president or the white house or anybody involved. but now rudy giuliani is saying
1:11 am
that donald trump himself was the one who denied this merger. the question now is what at&t will do with this information. a judge is currently taking his time deciding whether this merger can go through or not. we're expecting that decision from him on june 12. but at&t could issue new filings on appeal, they could try to bring up this political bias defense. it's really giving them another part of their arsenal that they can bring forth in this defense. but at the end of the day, it is just another rudy giuliani headache for the white house and the justice department. for his part, donald trump wants to make sure everyone knows the justice department has been against the merger from the beginning. >> on friday mr. trump tweeted the trump administration's antitrust division has been and is opposed to the at&t purchase of time warner in a currently ongoing trial. the justice department is currently trying to block the deal in court. let's get some perspective now on these developments. we're joined by leslie
1:12 am
vinjamuri, professor of international relations. always a pleasure to have you on the show. >> thank you, george. >> let's start with rudy giuliani's comments that the president denied the merger, very important words here. contradictory, but in line with what we heard from the president back on the campaign trail. what do you make of it? >> it is difficult to know what to make of it of course without an internal investigation. the independent of the justice department is crucial. and denying that -- or issuing statements that yubd miundermin integrity of the justice department is got good. but perhaps unsurprising that giuliani might be wanting to create the perception that there is distance between the president and michael cohen right now given the investigation into cohen that mueller is conducting.
1:13 am
so i think some of this is clearly politics. but it is politics with an implication whether it is intended or not, which is going to create some internal problems within the executive branch for the justice department. so not a healthy response i would say. >> no doubt giuliani has drawn a lot of attention here. and as we have seen in the past, surrogates who take too much spotlight eventually get shown the door. do you think giuliani is at risk here? >> well, that is something that is beyond the scope for guessing. i think what we've seen is that nobody can assume their resilience within trump's inner circle. >> and let's pivot to the iran nuclear deal. president trump's decision to abandon that deal and europe's efforts along with russia, along with china, to try to save it. can this deal still work without the united states involved or does it draw iran closer to
1:14 am
china and russia? >> well, there is no doubt that there is a tremendous amount at stake for europe, for iran, for the entire world in trying to keep this deal alive. and that has been made very difficult by trump's decision to take the united states out. in the face of what has been claimed to be compliance on the part of iran with the tirms of the terms of the deal. this is the most in-truce sifd inspections regime that any country has ever beingagreed to. but they really want to stay in the deal and they are put in a tremendously difficult position. their companies of course face the threat of sanctions, very costly. the business between europe and iran is very important, but the broader geopolitical incentives for staying in that deal, for
1:15 am
maintaining a degree of peace is crucial. and what is interesting to see here is that the diplomacy that will be taking place over the next several days between the iranian foreign minister is with the europeans, it is with the chinese and russians, but not with the americans. and so what we're seeing of course is that the rest of the world is trying to move forward to maintain what it sees to be a very much vital deal and the united states is having a very significant impact but margin marginali marginalized. >> and another thing looking ahead this week, the u.s. poised to move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem on monday, the first nation to do so. how does this controversial move affect the u.s. role in promoting peace within the region? >> well, voergs you you can't now think about this move outside this very immediate context of the u.s. pulling out of the iran deal and the increased tensions in the region
1:16 am
as a result. it wasn't a decision that was broadly accepted by many people very expert in the region who worked in the region even within the united states. so i think this decision is very controversial not only in the region, it is very controversial within the united states. i think the best that one could hope would be that it would have a neutral effect on whatever peace process might take place, that seems unlikely. but remember that there wasn't a robust peace process in place before this decision, there isn't one in place now despite the fact that jared kushner was really tasked with pushing the peace process forward. so i think it will make things harder not easier despite the fact that trump has said that this does not affect the position which is that the status of giuliajerusalem is on should be determined through negotiations. >> there is a president who
1:17 am
pride s himself on being unpredictable, but there is a pattern emerging. the president giving israel what it wants with in embassy move, something that previous administrations would have withheld as the final carrot on to push the peace process along. mr. trump also prepared to give north korea what it wants, a meeting, a direct conversation with the u.s. president, president trump speaking on it before. let's take a listen. >> hopefully i mean for all of us, for the world, hopefully something very good is going to happen. they understand it is very important for them, it is important for everybody. so japan, south korea, china, everybody i think it's going to be a very big success. but my attitude is, and if it isn't, it isn't. okay? if it isn't, it isn't. but you have to have that. because you don't know. >> again the president there
1:18 am
speaking to his base at a rally. but the question here, this is a very different approach toward negotiation, leslie. >> it is a very different approach and there is momentum right now leading up to the summit. the release of the hostages. one hopes that there are serious pre-negotiation talks and planning going on. but very heightened expectations of what the outcome of that meeting will be. it is interesting just there that trump said if it isn't it isn't, the stakes i think are much higher than that. and the real question here is what wiwill denuclearization me, what steps will north korea take, will it be willing to submit to the kind of inspections regime that iran was willing to submit to, will it believe that the united states would accept and would comply with the terms of the deal in lights of the recent decision to withdraw from the iran deal. and what wills united statwill
1:19 am
and this president accept short of denuclearization which it has previously defined as north korea getting rid of its nuclear weapons. it is not clear that that is what north korea has in mind. so there are a lot of open questions. nonetheless there is significant momentum right now and of course there are questions about whether or not there will be a peace treaty negotiated. none of those specifics have really been set out certainly not in the public domain, but the devil really is in the details and the stakes couldn't be higher. >> and of course he is getting the reputation of getting things done is what you hear supporters say, but again many lingering questions about these decisions the president is making from the raf iran nuclear deal to what is happening in israel. leslie vinjamuri, thank you for the perspective today. protesters are calling on sudan's president to pardon a teen sentenced to death for murdering her husband while he

1:24 am
woman you see here, a teenager from sudan sentenced to death for murdering her husband while he allegedly raped her. nora's legal team has less than two weeks to appeal the court's sentencing decision. per case has shined a spotlight for marital rape for which there is no concept in sudanese law. isha has been following the story. do you know what her chances are that the government may have mercy on her and save her life? >> reporter: well, to be clear, the judiciary is completely independent in sudan. so as we look for a reprieve for nora, this is something that will be done entirely within the judicial sphere. one of the lawyers on her team, i had an extensive conversation
1:25 am
with him about the chances of basically nora's life being saved. and he is basically pinning his opens really in two different spaces, one on the appeals process. as you mentioned, she has basically less than 15 days now for her legal team to launch an appeal. that appeal would be heard by three judges and essentially they would look at the evidence and they would look at the law, the technicality of the law. so he is looking at that. and important to tell our viewers that this lawyer tells me on several occasions and many instances in sudan, the death penalty has been handledaeeen ht overturned, so there is precedent. and he is pinning hopes on the family of the husband. they have the power to grant nora annumnesty right up until moment the noose is placed around her neck, to use police words. so people are appealing to the family as well.
1:26 am
ngos, women's groups, civil society are reaching out to the family in the hope that they will change her mind and grant her amnesty and her life can be spared. >> and what are the other instances surrounding her story and her marriage to this man? >> reporter: nora was 15 when her family married her off to this man. and she was against it right from the very beginning. she wanted to go to school, she wants to be a teacher. she ran away from home and ran to her aunt's and she lived there for about three years. she was living there carrying on with her studies when she was told that the marriage was off, it had been canceled, that she could come back home. she returned home only to find out in fact it had been -- it was a trap and that the marriage was still on and she was married off and handed over to her husband. and it was during that period of time for six days he tried to consummate the marriage, she refused. and six days later with the aid of family, relatives, a brother and his cousins, we're told that
1:27 am
she was held down and raped by her husband. when she attempted do it a second time a day later, that is when i nora grabbed a knife and stabbed him. >> horrendous story all around. we know you'll be covering it for us. thank you. the united nations agency is reporting that north korea's government has promised to stop carrying out unannounced missile tests and other activities hazardous to commercial aviation. also saying that its nuclear arms program is, quote, complete. meantime u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo says his talks with kim jung-un were warm and good. in fact he says they share the same vision as the u.s. and south korea for the korean peninsula's future. >> if chairman kim chooses the right path, there is a future brimming with peace and prosperity for north korea, north korean people. america's track record of support for the korean people is second to none.
1:28 am
if north korea takes bold action to quicklydenuclearize, the united states is prepared to work with north korea to work toward prosperity with or south korean friends. >> and mr. trump says that he hopes an agreement can be reached, but he warned if the conversation with mr. kim didn't go well, he will walk away from the talks. in just one week, prince harry and meghan markle are going to the chapel and they are going to get married as the song goes. >> this whole area will beseatsn total. and while it looks vast and spacious, it is actually quite intimate. >> max foster there. we'll get details of their big day just ahead.
1:29 am
it was here. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. i went to the er. they said i had afib. afib? what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®. to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. in a clinical study, over 96% of people taking xarelto® remained stroke-free. xarelto® works differently.
1:30 am
warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. for afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily or take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. before starting, tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems. learn all you can to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®.
1:31 am
to help protect yourself from a stroke. if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network.
1:32 am
welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world, you are watching "cnn newsroom" at 4:30 in the morning our time. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell. xwch activists are calling on sudan's president to pardon a teenager who was sentenced to death for murdering her husband while he allegedly raped her. nora hussein tried to ask her parents for support but they turned her into police. the case has shown a light on marital rape which is not illegal in sudan. iran warns that uranium enrichment could resume on an industrial scale if the historic nuclear deal cannot be salvaged. the foreign minister heads to europe next week. and u.s. president trump's decision to back out of the deal sparked large anti-american
1:33 am
protests in the iranian capital. the u.s. president's new attorney rudy giuliani says donald trump denied the merger of at&t and time warner. this is different from mr. trump's assertion that it is the justice department that is independently fighting the merger. all right. let's talk wedding bells, shall we? the wedding of the year just one week away when prince harry and meghan markle will tie the knot. >> the world will be watching this very important moment. max foster got inside the historic saint george's chapel and walked the path that the bride will take from america with in celebrity marriage. >> reporter: windsor castle homes to kings and queens for nearly a thousand years. and within its grounds, santsz george's chapel will many members of the family have been baptiz
1:34 am
baptized, married and, yes, buried. when meghan markle is driven into these hallowed grounds packed with special guests, she will mark a new chapter in this most famous of family histories. the car will come into what will be a quite erierily quiet cloister. it will stop here and the first thing that will confront the bride is some 20 steps leading up to the chapel. as meghan markle enters the church, the guests are l. turn around and see her beneath that spectacular stained glass window. this whole area will be filled with seats, 600 people in total. and while it looks vast and spacious, it is actually quite intimate at this level. and quite a narrow aisle as we move up into the choir. and a few more steps. as she enters the choir, wherever she looks, she will see a nod to the knights, highest
1:35 am
order in the land, oldest in the world. and high up on the ceiling, henry the 8th who completed this church 500 years ago. flags represent all the current knights including the best man there, prince william. his flag. and below him the seat where he would normally sit. so all of these represent a knight. a xwra mgray marble slab, anoth reminder of henry the 8th as meghan markle will literally walk over on his grave toward her fiance. she will eventually settle up there by the steps where she will meet harry. and with the words "i will," an american celebrity becomes british royalty. max foster, cnn, windsor, england. >> well, that story is enough to give us goosebumps. and now our royal commentator
1:36 am
richard if itfitzwilliams will o that. how are you? >> i'm fascinated by max's sublime report from windsor castle looking around that wonderful st. george's chapel. because it is interesting that he mentioned henry viii and one of meghan's ancestors was in fact beheaded by henry viii for leading a revolt against the crown. and also meghan has a link with king edward iii who founded in 1348 the knights order of chivalry. and also in 1856, one her paternal an says are an says tors worked in the garden. so all sorts of fascinating links between harry's future bride and the location historically fascinating where
1:37 am
they are to marry. >> and gets more and more fascinating with every little advertis bit th tidbit that you give us. there is mainian over the harry and meghan love story. he has struggled with the loss of his mother and expressed that to the world. she is by ra shiracialbiracial. might they redefine the royal family? >> there is absolutely no doubt that the message is going out that the royal family is so much more inclusive with this marriage. because i think persons of color and meghan of course is so proud of being biracial have often felt that the royal family is somewhat remote. and this is a sign that it is extremely inclusive but also in the commonwealth that would be particularly significant. also given in previous decades the problems with divorce. the church of england came a to terms with this in 2002 by allowing divorced couples whose spouses were still alive to
1:38 am
marry in church if they can get a broopriest to do it. and of course they will only be delighted to perform this rite. >> and are they going to be debunking somewhat royal from tradition with their nup nuptials? >> i think as max pointed out meghan will be arriving with her mother. we know her father thomas will be walking her up the aisle, that is very traditional. but we also know that there will be verypenkts aspects to the ceremony. harry has made sure that diana's family will be included, ladies jane fellow, one diana's sisters giving the reading. and also of course a gospel choir will be performing. now, that links with meghan's past gospel choirs go back to
1:39 am
the evils of slavery and we know that this is an area where meghan is especially proud of what she's called herself something of an ethnic comedian whereby whereas an actress she wasn't white enough to get white roles, black enough to get black roles. it is an area that she understands. and i think that is significant in the way that people relate to her. and also the way that she and harry intends to become a dynamic duo who will be able to do good works not only in britain and the commonwealth, but internationally. >> she really is an outstanding young woman. we had the huge wedding of kate and william and that was mesmerizing. but now this is -- i don't know, something about harry and meghan, they have a dynamic that is generating, i don't know, maybe as much buzz as the wedding of harry's brother?
1:40 am
what do you think? >> well, i think meghan and harry have a very special chemistry because they fell in love immediately. and also they went for getting on for two years now, they made sure that there hasn't been two weeks where in some way or another they haven't seen each other. and also it is a special relationship because meghan , w know her history as an actity vis. since the age of 11, she was able to campaign against sexist advertisement. and also while at school she was able to help the homelessequent vision canada. so what will help i think is the fact that harry is inspired by diana in everything that he does. and also meghan having to give up her acting career for which
1:41 am
she's fought so hard. i mean, it was very hard work as we know from her anonymous blog at the time and then subsequently her work and on instragram. she is changing her life, but she is changing it also to be a member of the world's most proceed profile royal family. and as such, she will be able to help so many people. diana was able to do this because she was a member of the royal family, but of course was deeply unhappy. harry will see to it that meghan is happy and also of course you've got an extremely independent person, you have someone who is extremely arctic could articulate and deeply committed. and as shakespeare said, i think deed the marriage of two mind. >> gentlemen, this is all very exciti exciting.
1:42 am
we thank you so much and we will talk with you again. look forward to it. >> also good to have a mention of shakespeare in the show. >> you and i haven't done that. >> no, we haven't. but before prince harry and meghan markle were thinking about tying the knot, the british royal had his own adventures. >> and this is a look at the past and future. here is a preview. >> reporter: in 2007, a secret deployment to afghanistan gives larry a taste of the front lines. >> as far as i'm concerned, i'm out here as a normal guy on the ground and not prince harry. sort of nice to be a normal person. about as normal as it could get. >> pretty much a turning point in his life. i think he realized the seriousness of life. he rose to the responsibilities. >> reporter: but after ten weeks on the ground, his mission is leaked. and harry is immediately
1:43 am
evacuated. >> he was very angry. to use the words of his private secretary, he was boiling mad. he sort of headed for the gutter. he started drinking very heavily. he was fed up with who he was. >> when he came rather slumped in the chair and said the trouble is i can't be like a normal young man. but that time in afghanistan had given him ten weeks to be a normal young man and he desperately wanted to replicate that again. and he accepted and his private secretary accepted probably the only way that he could go back was within the anonymity of being inside a helhelicopter. so he therefore needed to learn to fly a helicopter. >> after two years of training, he not only becomes an apache pilot, he is top gun on his weapons course. >> he got it on his own. it wasn't because he was a prince. he had to fight hard for it. he was one of the very top

apache attack helicopter pilots. >> harry returns to afghanistan in september 2012. >> i actually believe that his success on that apache aircraft was the making of harry. i think harry, who had spent all his life being second best to his brother, being the spare, suddenly found something that he could do and could do better than anybody else. and that gave him confidence that he had never ever had before. >> how cool is that story. just a short snippet of our special report, a royal match. it will air several times this weekend. watch it as many times as you want, george, including saturday at 8:00 p.m. eastern and sunday evening at 7:00 in london. >> these is moments are interesting to learn about. still ahead here, lava.

trouble is still bubbling beneath the surface for the reh residents in hawaii. >> there haven't been new lava emissions since wednesday, but the threat of more explosions has again forced the closure of the hawaii volcano's national park. for more, let's go to ivan cabrera. you see the images of this and there is no way to stop it. >> there is not. and in fact what i think will happen, we could have essentially a grand finale which sounds great, but it is not. because when you are talking
1:49 am
about a volcano, i'll explain why we think that that will happen. what you are seeing there is the lava flows out of the fissures that have been making their way up to the surface and going right through neighborhoods. and that is basically how we lost upwards of several dozen homes. you can see the lava flows there, that has since paused. but not stopped. and so the potential is there for new fissures which are basically those long cracks where the lava comes out of and that is where also the very toxic fumes come out of including sulfur dioxide. and those levels are very dangerous. but we are on watch for an explosive eruption, the reason being is the lava lake. that has continued to sink. and as that happens, the rocks that surrounds this column collapse on top of it. once this goes down to the water table, all that pressure begins to steam up, right? similar to how things work when you and i cook. well, this is on a grander sk e

scale. team pressure has to go up and the way it does so is quite dramat dramatic. and some of those boulders by the way are the size of cars. so very dangerous stuff and they have to fall down at some point and that is why the area is being monitored. that was a fancy graphic, but this is the good stuff here. this is a camera that is tilted and pointed down at the lake of lava here. watch the clock here, april 23, watch what happens, we'll advance it a little bit further. look at how it is sinking there, may 5, a couple more days, it continues to sink. that is may 6. by may 7, we can barely see it. and may 9, it is gone. it is an infrared camera, so this is basically heat, but we can no longer see the lava, it is on its way down to the water table. and that's when we're expecting some fireworks here. and this is from nasa, this is sulfur dioxide. as you see from april 30 to may
