world headquarters in atlanta, we welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. "newsroom" starts right now. >> it seems like only yesterday there were insults like little rocket man or mentally deranged dotard. and warnings of fire and fury. now it seems to have passed. >> i forgot about the dotard. >> that was one of them. >> you are looking at pictures from the meeting on friday. u.s. president trump sitting down with the second most powerful man in north korea, former spy chief kim yong chol. >> he hand delivered a letter from kim jong-un and mr. trump announced the singapore summit is on. our global affairs correspondent elise labott has more for us.

>> reporter: president trump and kim yong chol emerged from the oval office smiling after a nearly two-hour meet with trump telling reporters a summit with kim jong-un in singapore is back on. >> we're going to be june 12th. we'll be in singapore. it will be a beginning. i've never said it happens in one meeting. you're talking about years of hostility. years of problems. years of really hatred between so many different nations. >> reporter: kim yong chol arrived at the white house earlier, hand delivering a letter to president trump from kim jong-un. >> i haven't seen the letter yet. i purposely didn't open the letter. i haven't opened it. i didn't open it in front of the director. i said would you want me to open it? he said you can read it later. >> reporter: there was no firm commitment from north korea on denuclearization, a top demand for trump, the president said the meeting was still worth having. >> i think it's going to be a

process that we deserve to have. they want it. we think it's important. and i think we would be making a big mistake if we didn't have it. >> but the president said he was prepared if the talks with kim in singapore are not productive. >> one thing i did do and was very important, we had hundreds of new sanctions ready to go on. and he did not -- the director did not ask, but i said i'm not going to put them on until such time as the talks break down. we have very significant sanctions on that. but we had hundreds. we have hundreds that are ready to go. but why would i do that when we're talking so nicely? >> reporter: a word of warning earlier today from the top senate republican. >> if you fall in love with the deal and it's too important for you to get it, and the details become less significant, you could get snookered. >> concluding that a deal is not possible by june 12th, president trump has lowered expectations. and he's now calling the meeting

with kim the beginning of a process. a get to know you plus. instead of being a condition of the summit, president trump's challenge at the meeting is to convince kim jong-un to abandon his nuclear program, instead of the president falling trap to the north korea's familiar playbook of playing for time and giving up as little as possible. elise labott, cnn, washington. let's go to seoul, south korea, where we find our alexandra field. hello to you. so former spy for north korea sits down with the u.s. president in the oval office and the meeting is back on. what's the reaction there? >> look, there was so much at stake for south korea here. you need only mention the words fire and fury to begin to recall the tension on this peninsula within the last year. nobody's safety was threatened more than the millions here in south korea. less than a year ago they elected a new president who pushed for dialogue with north

korea, who has worked to improve relations. and he's the same man who held on to hope this summit would happen. when that letter was delivered by kim yong chol to president trump, written by kim jong-un, a spokesperson for the blue house near seoul described the feeling as a sense of relief. a sign these talks which south korea is really hoping for would proceed. they've gotten their wish now. the response today is simple. they say they'll sit back now and calmly watch to see what they have described as the meeting of the century. >> certainly could be. just days away. how are u.s. allies in the region reacting to what happened in washington? >> look, you've heard from u.s. administration officials and president trump himself saying repeatedly there's no daylight between japan, south korea and the united states. they really have a unified approach here when it comes to dealing with north korea. as i mentioned, south korea has argued dialogue is the best path forward. japan also supporting the premise of this summit. they've been doing that for

weeks or months now but they're also issuing some warnings. they want president trump to go into this with both eyes open. they've said they don't want dialogue just for the sake of dialogue. here's how the japanese defense minister put it today. >> translator: we have seen history repeat where north korea woult declare to denuclearize, thereby portraying itself as a conciliatory and only to turn around to avoid all international efforts toward peace. in flift norlight of how north behaved in the past it's n, we not reward them simply for having a dialogue. >> they have been having meetings in the region with their u.s. counterparts, secretary of defense jim mattis. mattis was here for a previously scheduled conference. he's been speaking out today about the progress toward this summit. he continues to say that the goal of the united states is the complete, verifiable,

irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsula, but he insists the allies here that sanctions will remain against north korea. that's despite the fact that president trump has said he'll no longer use that term maximum pressure. he's also said sanctions will remain in place but he doesn't need to use that term when things seem to be going well according to the president. >> yes, he said we're making nice here so let's just keep it nice. why not? alexandra field there in seoul. thank you. let's talk about that with martin, a research associate at the center for defense studies at kings college in london. thanks for joining us to talk about this. the meeting is set now. before we talk about expectations, i want your thoughts on what was behind the back and forth, it's on, it's off that we saw from the white house in the past few days. >> i think this is part of president trump's negotiating style. if you look at what he's written about negotiating in "the art of the deal," for example.

he says you must be very careful of not showing total commitment to reaching a deal because if you do that, then the other side will, as president trump said, sense blood and you are dead. so he has made it quite clear to everybody involved, especially the north koreans, that he is not totally committed to a deal and will walk away unless the north koreans make significant concessions. >> do you think the white house knows what it wants from this initial meeting? >> i think so. i've got confidence in president trump's negotiating style. i know a lot of people do not, but he is an experienced negotiator. mr. pompeo, the secretary of state, has been meeting with the north korean official and they, no doubt, set out certain targets, certain immediate quick wins, let us put it that way, that will be reached in

singapore. it's not just going to be a get to know you meeting. as president trump says, get to know you plus meeting. and i expect there will be some concrete statements coming out of that in respect of arms control. >> how should, do you think, the u.s. approach denuclearization in this initial meeting? >> the north koreans are not going to give up their nuclear weapons any time in the near future. but president trump cannot admit that. so it's going to be aspirational. both parties will say we are working towards denuclearization. we're going to try and get rifd all nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula but it's not going to be an immediate thing. they'll work towards it. they'll have to be immediate objectives. and i suspect some of those immediate objectives will include getting rid of those ballistic missiles that are capable of hitting the united states with nuclear weapons. that must be the main objective of the united states in these negotiations to rid itself of

that threat. and if president trump can come away from these negotiations or the process of negotiation with a timetable that is medium term whereby that threat from the united states is removed, that would be a major achievement. >> you say you respect the president in how he comes to things with his negotiation, but neither leader has a smooth track record when it comes to negotiation. they've played games, issued threats, dangled misinformation in front of the world. here's what the president had to say about this initial meeting on friday. let's listen. >> i think it's a getting to know you meeting plus. and that can be a very positive thing. >> all right. how do you envision these two men sitting across from the table? how might that go? >> the first thing is to set the tone. president trump is again correct. there's been a lot of interpretive language bantied

about. he has to change the atmosphere, and i think he's going some way towards that. once that feeling has been put in place, they will start moving towards the talking points which have been agreed. those talking points, the main issues will be set out on a piece of paper and they'll work their way through it. the north koreans will demand certain concessions. they know what the americans are prepared to give. the americans know, by now, more or less, what the north koreans are prepared to give in the medium term and the key question will be the timing and the verification and the process of the negotiations. they are not -- president trump is not going to fly back to the united states from singapore without some plan, some kind of road map which will involve more meetings and more objectives being reached. and i suspect there will be those objectives, the ballistic missiles, possibly a freeze on

nuclear weapons testing and ballistic missile testing and a promise by the north koreans not to export any of this weaponry out of the country. that's a main american objective. in exchange for certain economic concessions, sanctions relief, et cetera. the timing and verification are the key points but those issues are, i believe, ultimately resolvable. >> all of that sounds very positive. and we hope that we'll have some good news after this meeting. we'll talk with you again. martin, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. another top-level summit may be in the works. this between the u.s. and russian president. "the wall street journal" says planning for the meeting is still in early stages. >> the paper says the u.s. ambassador to russia has been in washington to help arrange face-to-face talks between donald trump and vladimir putin. no word yet on a date and location but syria and ukraine would likely be on the agenda. the two men have met before in vietnam and also in germany.

two political dramas come to an apparent end as italy and spain welcome new prime ministers. how all of this would affect the continent. plus, china agrees to buy more u.s. goods, but that's apparently not enough to keep president trump from threatening steep tariffs on chinese imports. a senior u.s. official is now in beijing for critical talks.

italy is entering a new political era with a political novice at the helm. giuseppe conti is now prime minister. he leads the new populist bureau skeptic government. >> that's unsettling for nations like france and germany whose leaders are ready to push for more eu integrags. he's set to present his cabinet next week and will face a vote of confidence then. let's bring in barbie nadeau in rome. clearly we're seeing the new leadership form, this populist anti-establishment government. what does that mean for that nation's domestic policy? >> well, it's an interesting day today anyway. today is the festival of the public day. we've got military flyovers, a celebration of the unity of this country against a backdrop of

total chaos. the two populist parties, one led by the northern league, far right, anti-immigration leader. the other by the populist anti-establishment leader who represents the south. there's so much contra diction in what these two men's support bases want for the country. we'll see a struggle going forward with legislation as they try to wrangle together and keep this coalition afloat, george. >> so divisions domestically, but as far as europe at large, it seems that these two groups come together with pretty clear message. >> that's absolutely right. the euro skepticism is the bottom line of that message. trying to get to this point where we are today, the coalition had put forth a euro skeptic economics minister. they still have him in their government. now he's the minister of

european affairs. that sends a message they don't want to be a slave to brussels. they want to renegotiate some of the terms of their sizable debt. 130% of gdp in this country. those are priorities, and that squares europe. but i think a bigger fear is if italy to were to go new elections, if this coalition crumbles, the populist movements would gain support at this point. and i think that really does make investors nervous and it makes the rest of the continent very nervous. >> barbie nadeau, thank you for the perspective on this. a new government is also taking shape in spain. the socialist party leader pedro sanchez was sworn in taking over from marianno rajoy. >> it came to a head last week when a court convicted some of his former aides. now sanchez understands in

gravity of his new position. >> translator: i am aware of the responsibility that i assume in such a complex political moment in our country. what i can say is that, apart from being totally aware of it, i'm going to face all our country's challenges with humility and commitment and, above all, with a lot of determination. first, to transform and modernize our country. >> cnn's nina dos santos breaks down exactly how sanchez managed to take over as the nation's prime minister. >> reporter: after seven years as spain's prime minister, rajoy became the country's first head of government to be unseated by a vote of no-confidence. one tabled by his socialist party opponent, 46-year-old pedro sanchez who will now become the country's next prime minister. sanchez had to rely upon members of fringe parties and regional parties with separatist tendencies like those in catalonia and the basque region

to make up the numbers. the parliament voted 180 in favor of that motion of no-confidence against rajoy. rajoy said it had been an honor to serve as prime minister but also hopes his successor could say that he left the country in a better state than he found it in just as rajoy believed he has done over the last few years of his tenure. it's expected that sanchez will probably stick to the legislative agenda that rajoy set out so far. he said he'll stick to the budget and he'll continue to enact social and economic and welfare reforms. elections, he says, he would like to call in the future but he hasn't yet set a date. it's expected he'll start to nominate his cabinet next week. nina dos santos, cnn, london. the former chief strategist at the white house has been speaking with cnn. >> steve bannon talked to our fareed zakaria and made a prediction about one of president trump's main campaign

promises as the u.s. heads toward midterm elections in november. >> i think that what president trump is -- nationalizing this. the wall is central. the wall is absolutely central to his program. i believe that what he's going to do is, as we come up on september 30th if that appropriations bill does not include spending to fully build his wall, not some $1.6 billion for prototypes, i mean to build the southern wall, i believe he will shut down the government. i believe the government will actually shut down in the run-up to the election. we have to limit mass illegal immigration. you're starting to see this in the trump administration. what he's done to limit mass illegal immigration, that's why we have the lowest black unemployment in history. lowest hispanic unemployment and wages starting to rise in agriculture and oil field services and construction. >> bannon also said president trump is using immigration as a way to get people outside his base to vote for his party in november, including working

class black americans and his n hispan hispanics. in the u.s. state of california, near the u.s. border with mexico, our gary tuchman gained rare access to a federal detention center where migrants accused of crossing the border illegally are held. >> this often includes mothers who are separated from their own children while awaiting asylum or deportation proceedings. gary brings us some of their stories now. >> reporter: these two honduran women crossed into the united states and asked for asylum because of violence at home. they're now being held in a california immigration detention center but something is missing. their children who traveled with them. marbel just turned 35. immigration officials separated her from her 8-year-old son jerry right after they crossed the border together. he's since been sent across the country to a government facility in new york state. >> are you scared? she tells me, yes, i'm scared

because they took him from me. if i had him with me, i wouldn't have any fears. olga is 31. her four children ranged from 8 to 17 and have also been sent to a government facility in new york. when her three daughters and son were separated from her, she didn't know what was going on. olga says, i'm not sure why they did that. they never let me say good-bye. they didn't tell me anything. the lawyers for both mothers don't want the women's last names being used and don't want some details being revealed because they feel it could be used against them. the mothers did not have the faintest clue their children could be taken away from them. marbel told us, for me it was hard when immigration took him away from me because my son was crying and didn't want to be taken away. and they didn't want to listen. for around two weeks, the mothers say they did not know where their children were. even now, they've been separated from their children for over a

month. they say phone contact is infrequent. my kids have never been separated from me says olga. my son told me he misses me and when am i going to be with him again. i told him i don't know. the immigration attorney for the two women doesn't know either. >> it's unknown how long these mothers are going to be separated from their children. they are in proceedings, and their children are in proceedings in two different courts. >> reporter: neither woman had a cell phone when they left honduras. not only do they not have their children but marbel has only one picture of her son. olga has no pictures. i want to live a good life with my kids says olga and for them to have a good future. not the same as i've had. marbel tells us, i love him so much. i never thought i'd bring him to have him separated from me. if i would have known, i wouldn't have brought him. i just wish him to be together

with me. after our interviews, both women go back to their cells with no idea whatsoever what will happen to their lives or the lives of their children. gary tuchman, cnn, california. >> just not right. fears of a global trade war are growing stronger as president trump imposes harsh tariffs on some of its biggest trading partners. ahead here, how will europe respond and will this affect the u.s. economy. plus, a new hurricane season arrives with puerto rico. it is still trying to recover from last year's devastation. just a little later, cnn returns to see how islanders there are holding up. stay with us. heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea... girl, pepto ultra coating will treat your stomach right. nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea.♪ try new pepto with ultra coating. jardiance asked: when it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, what matters to you?

live, in the united states and around the world, you're watching "cnn newsroom." >> the historic summit between u.s. president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un is back on. set now for june 12th in singapore. mr. trump made the announcement after an unprecedented oval office meeting with north korea's former spy chief. in rome, a law professor who had never held public office has been sworn in as italy's new prime minister. conti heads a populist government. they face a vote of confidence if parliament next week. the ceo of brazil's state-owned oil company has called it quits. a move that knocked $12 billion off the value of stock in petrobras. it followed strikes by truckers and oil workers that paralyzed much of the company forcing the

government there to lower diesel prices for 60 days. an outbreak of e. coli to tell you about. the bacteria listeninked to rom lettuce has killed five people in the united states. 197 people across 35 states have been ill since march. e. coli can cause fever, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting. threats of a u.s. trade war. tariffs on chinese imports are stoking renewed fears of that global trade war that everyone has been talking about. that word has been thrown around. the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross arrived in beijing early saturday to continue trade talks. china was caught off guard this week when the white house said it would pursue tariffs on $50 billion worth of chinese imports. >> it's not just china, mexico, canada and the european union are fighting back against new u.s. tariffs announced on steel and aluminum. the eu on friday filed a formal complaint with the wto, the

world trade organization. canada's prime minister could hardly believe what president trump had done. >> let me be clear. these tariffs are totally unacceptable. these tariffs are an affront to the longstanding security partnership between canada and the united states. and in particular, an affront to the thousands of canadians who have fought and died alongside their american brothers in arms. >> and even leaders of the president's own party have taken a dim view of mr. trump's sudden move toward turmoil in international trade. listen. >> i don't think anything good will come out of a trade war, and i hope we pull back from the brichk here because these tariffs will not be good for the economy. and i worry that it will slow,

if not impede significantly the progress we're making economically for the country. >> that's a question we're going to tackle right now. he teaches international politics at the university of london. the president, like so many in the united states, is giddy offer the excellent jobs report. he tweeted about it. yet at the same time he makes this move regarding tariffs to our friends. and this could impact jobs in the u.s. and the economy if there were a trade war. this is an economic gamble on the part of the u.s. president. >> i think there are -- clearly economic repercussions for all the countries involved in any kind of trade dispute. i think it will be the case in the u.s. as well. and that could have a kind of political effect later to some extent which could undermine the jobs report which, obviously, suggests that the democrats

will -- going toward the midterms will be on the back foot. in the end you have to look at the character of the jobs created. there will be economic repercussions. if you like elements of the republican party in particular, are very worried about it because countermeasures by china and the eu and canada and so on are likely to hit some red states when you look at agricultural products and so on which are being mentioned as part of the countermeasures. >> what's behind president trump's interest here in his protectionism? what's his goal? >> i think it's a really good question and it's something which everybody is trying to work out. and i think in the end, i think the united states under donald trump is trying to reassert american authority in the world. military authority and economic authority. and really in the arsenal of the trump administration, out of all american organizations there is the dollar and there's market access. and the international system to some extent is being blamed for

various outcomes within the united states. so trying to manage growing inequality at home and the resistance to it, as well as the higher number of challenges abroad for economic supremacy is bringing about this kind of protectionistic policy. it's an attempt to reassert american authority and american power. the unfortunate problem is that it's very nationalistic. and that suggests that people think we ought to make america great again are going to be psychologically benefiting. but in terms of material american carnage, what trump said he's going to do, i don'ting that's going to do too much materially. but it says america is back, it's asserting its power and it's showing everybody that they're in charge. and that's what he's really playing to. >> it could backfire, however, and many of the states that voted for mr. trump could be impacted with their businesses there. the eu indicated it won't be

bullied by this president. it will fight back with its own tariffs. france is one of the countries determined. here's the french president talking a few days ago about it. >> translator: unilateral responses and threats of trade wars will not resolve anything about this serious imbalance of international trade. nothing. the solution might bring a short-term symbolic victory because it seems more comprehensible. maybe. the last ones who started a bilateral trade war, sometimes the same ones, saw prices increase and unemployment go up. >> so macron doesn't like it at all. europe, though, isn't exactly unified, though. spain and italy have brand-new leadership. britain headed toward brexit. do you expect they can be unified in this situation they have with the u.s.? >> you could add, natalie, german carmakers, automakers as well. volkswagen and so on. i think the europeans are --

have to rhetorically come up with the kind of talk they're doing, but in practice, they're in a weaker position with market access and so on. the u.s. power is very great. britain is heading toward brexit. they want a trade deal with the united states and that's going to affect that position that they take. so europe, the european union is not so united at all. i think that's strengthens america's hand. in the end, the united states is using this kind of a loophole in the wto's treat which says in the condition of war you can invoke national security to up trade tariffs and so on. there's no war that america is actually being faced with at this moment. but this is an attempt to assert american authority. and i think in a way to rewrite some of the rules of international order. i don't know if it's going to break the order. i think president macron is right. this is not 1932 or 1929, but it has echoes of that and that frightens everybody.

and i don't think it does anybody very much good. it's a big play to keep his base very happy, which seem to be getting happier with him. in the end, materially, i don't think american workers and many american corporations are going to benefit very much. it's a pr exercise to reassert american power and make it look big and strong but in the long run, i don't think it's going to do very much at all to ameliorate the big problems the united states people face. >> we always appreciate your comments. thanks for joining us. we also heard from the u.s. defense secretary who has a blunt message for china. james mattis says the united states is in the indo pacific region to stay. during a speech saturday in singapore, he called out beijing for turning artificial islands that had built up in the south china sea into military outposts with heavy weapons. >> despite china's claims to the contrary, the placement of these weapons systems is tied directly

to military use for the purposes of intimidation and coercion. >> china claims 90% of the south china sea, even though six other countries have competing claims. you can see the confusion there on our map. in may, the chinese military landed nuclear capable bombers on those islands for the first time. nine months after hurricane maria, puerto rico struggles with the longest power outage in modern u.s. history. >> charlie reyes has no experience doing this. climbing poles, working with live wires, restoring power. something he says he learned in one day from a retired power worker. >> they are making it happen. they have to. in puerto rico. n we'll take you there, next. you'll make my morning, but ruin my day. complicated relationship with milk?

respond to a natural disaster. eight months after maria, parts of the island are still dealing with what fema calls the longest power outage in modern u.s. history. more than 10,000 customers are still in the dark. can this power grid, can it sustain itself if another hurricane were to come? >> the most honest thing to say about our grid is that it's weak or fragile. >> reporter: walt higgins is the new ceo for puerto rico's power authority tasked with fixing a power grid never built to handle cat 4 or 5 hurricanes. an island-wide blackout was caused by a fallen tree. higgins promises most of those still without power, though, not all, will have it restored in a matter of weeks. what he cannot say is what will happen if another storm plunges the island into darkness. >> my straight answer to that is, we are readier this year than we were last year. >> reporter: and people on the island will be counting on it for their very lives.

a harvard study now indicates a lack of power after maria is partly to blame for more than 4,600 deaths, far more than puerto rico's official death toll of 64. will this be enough? >> you know, yes. for fema's part, it's showing off this warehouse full of disaster relief supplies. the plan for the next disaster compared to maria preparations to have seven times more water and meals. six times more generators. eight times more tarps all on the island before the next hurricane. the agency admits it's learned some lessons. >> will fema be ready for a f t faster response in a hurricane hits? >> absolutely. no doubt. >> reporter: for those taking matters into their own hands -- any sign of recovery is a victory. >> you get a little emotional. >> oh, yeah. you know how long i don't see the light in my house?

nine months. nine months. >> and now another hurricane could be around the corner for the next season. >> yes. i guess i've got to do it again. >> reporter: the hope here is that power returns before the next storm. i talked to seven mayors from across the island. asked them all the exact same question. are you prepared if another hurricane were to hit? one would only say i'm as prepared as i can be, and he acknowledged the vulnerabilities of the island. but the rest pretty much immediately said no. when i asked what the biggest issue should be should that happen, all agreed it would be the vulare inable power grid. leyla santiago, cnn, san juan, puerto rico. >> home for leyla. she's been giving us so much important reporting about what's happening there.

i was there for irma and two weeks later, you know, maria. the devastation so bad, people very resilient, but they've dealt with so much. >> as leyla bluntly put it, another hurricane could be around the corner. >> that's the big concern. >> we're two days into the 2018 atlantic hurricane season. and, well, the outlook calls for another active season unfortunately. we all know that puerto rico's economy is strapped as well. so the thing that we saw when we were on the ground in san juan in puerto rico is that the poor often suffer disproportionately when this kind of disaster strikes. they're more exposed. less able to recover from such a disaster as a category 4 or category 5 hurricane. look at how active 2017 was. need i remind you of hurricane harvey that impacted texas? can't forget about maria, irma, nate. the list goes on. in fact, there were 17 named

storms on average during a hurricane season in the atlantic. we would have 12. and get this. we had six major hurricanes. that's category 3 or higher. now get this. we're also entering into another active season, according to officials and meteorologists, the season begins officially june 1st. or has begun already. look what noaa is calling for. 10 to 16 names storms. that's one less potent yelly than what we experienced in 2017. they're calling for 1 to 4 of those storms becoming major. colorado state slightly below that. we've already had subtropical storm alberto that made landfall early last week. but one thing that is interesting to note is how the damage increases exponentially with the increase in wind speed. and what is also a common myth is that the most death and destruction comes from the wind speed but that's not true. it comes from the inland flooding that can occur. we talk about hurricane harvey

as that made its deluge up to 60 inches of rainfall in parts of texas, including the metro houston area and that was where over 2 million vehicles were impounded and it was just incredible to see all those scenes unfolding. excellent reporting by leyla. >> as always. >> and this story will continue in the 2018 hurricane season. >> let's just hope hurricanes bypass puerto rico this year. my goodness. >> derek, thank you. let's go to hawaii next. the kilauea volcano still sending lava across parts of the big island. we track a team of experts trying to follow the path of destruction to keep thousands of people safe. that's coming up next here. yoe of unpredictable symptoms. crohn's, you've tried to own us. but now it's our turn to take control with stelara® stelara® works differently for adults with moderately to severely active crohn's disease. studies showed relief and remission,

destroyed by molten lava. and the danger is not over yet. >> scientists are warning what they call vigorous lava eruptions still gushing from volcanic fissures in the earth. a team of experts is trying to track it to keep people safe. scott mclean has that. >> reporter: if there's lava on the move, so is drone pilot rose harp. >> you guys ready? okay. clear props. launching. >> reporter: her small crew from the university of hawaii at hilo has been up all night every night since kilauea first started erupting almost a month ago. they are documenting the lava's movement using drones. not for long-term research but to inform hour-to-hour decisions. >> you are an essential service. >> i feel like we are. >> reporter: as the lava moves, the group's routine stays largely the same. fly -- >> we're just about at 100 meters altitude. 97% battery.

at times up to 600 yards per hour. a snail's pace for a person but lightning fast for lava. >> you can clearly see that there's movement. >> reporter: movement that virtually nothing can stop. not homes, cars or even entire forests. >> trees don't do much to slow lava. >> if the volume is there, there's not much that will. >> reporter: scott mclean, cnn, h pahoa, hawaii. a bird's-eye view of a bird. >> it's perched itself on a security camera. take a look at that. this camera over a roadway in australia and it peeks in and out of the frame there. even appearing to tap on the glass. let's take a look there. >> the bird is a regular visitor. also he or she sometimes chews on the cables. traffic controllers do not like that. they sometimes jiggle the camera to get the bird to fly the coop. >> love that, natalie. thanks for watching "cnn newsroom."
