states and all around the world. i'm paula newton ahead right here on cnn newsroom hope francis is presiding over easter mass. at the vatican, where thousands have gathered for celebration. but in the middle east religious events this weekend are being marred by ongoing violence. we are alive in jerusalem and beirut for the latest, and we'll take a closer look. at that abortion drug that's at the center of two opposing court rulings in the united states. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with paula neeson. but first it is easter sunday, the holiest day of the christian calendar. celebrating with the bible says was the resurrection of jesus. thousands of the faithful have converged on st peter's square for easter mass. currently underway. you see it there. francis is presiding over the service. now he did not walk in the traditional procession, but instead arrived in a wheelchair . you will soon deliver his traditional easter blessing. the

86 year old pontiff has been recovering from bronchitis after being hospitalized last week. later in the show, we will head live to the vatican. for a report. now easter is also being observed in jerusalem today, along with passover and ramadan , but the ceremonies have been overshadowed by a recent surge in violence right across the region. just hours ago, israel carried out a new wave of attacks in syrian territory this time and it released this video . you see it there, which appears to show strikes on a syrian military compound radar systems. and artillery posts. israel says it launched the strikes after rockets were fired from syria towards israeli controlled territory. it's just the latest escalation of tension since israeli forces stormed the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem multiple times last week. we are covering all the angles of the story for you've seen in selma adel's eases in jerusalem and scott mclean is in beirut. salma to you first. i mean, let us know what is happening at this

hour in the old city. obviously these religious holidays have been a flashpoint for tensions before and again this year. absolutely and all of this comes those latest syria attacks that tip for tat. it just begins to show you how quickly things can devolve in this region. it widens that area of escalation. it widens that area of tension that already included gaza in southern lebanon now into syria as well. all of this, of course, starting at least this latest spat of violence starting when israeli police raided al aqsa mosque twice on wednesday, and it's there that the focus is again today, right? within the walls of the old city now where you have three different faiths , observing three different religious traditions simultaneously. of course, there is easter mass taking place for christians within the old city. there was also the priestly blessing. this is an important and special tradition in judaism that is taking place over passover that's winding down now, but thousands of people

were at the western wall praying or at where, while at the top of the mountain, of course, at the noble sanctuary, known as temple mount, too. jews muslims were continuing to go in and out for prayers overnight. there were more prayers. of course, ramadan tradition is that muslims pray through the night more prayers there. i'll aqsa mosque overnight, there seemed to be a moment of friction where israeli authorities were accusing youth of barricading themselves inside the mosque. jordan's which is the guardian, the protectorate of al aqsa mosque quickly responded, warning that israeli police should not enter that mosque. otherwise, violence will escalate. those prayers, prayers rather passed peacefully this morning eyewitnesses they're saying that must have worshipers were not allowed in for dawn prayers. simultaneously israeli police did allow small groups of non muslims so jewish worshippers right at that location at that flashpoint

complex as muslims were at the mosque as well, so you can imagine a moment of potential friction again that passed peacefully. i know i'm painting a very complicated picture here , paula, but what i'm trying to explain is you have all of these simultaneous religious events happening at the moment of heightened tension under intense police. security all of that leads to fears and concerns, of course, that these factors could devolve the situation further all of this, of course, in the wider context of this escalating violence, paula 12 oh four just after lunch there and in jerusalem, and we'll continue to watch what happens and hope the date passes peacefully. selma appreciate that. i want to go now to our scott mclean in lebanon. scott don't have to remind you. it's fair to say this is the last thing lebanon needs is to get involved in this conflict. what maury learning since you've been on the ground there hey, paula. we've actually just learned that the leader of hezbollah has hassan nasrallah, according to hezbollah on tv

channel has met with the leader of the palestinian militant group hamas to discuss what happened at the al aqsa mosque complex in jerusalem and the readiness of what they described as the resistance access to confront it. hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for the barrage of rockets toward israel from lebanon, but they have also said precious little about it. in the meantime, the lebanese army now has the very complicated task of trying to prevent any potential new attacks. about an hour south of beirut. the yellow flags of israel's sworn enemy, the lebanese militant and political group hezbollah. is the first sign that the jewish state doesn't have many friends here. after the police raid on the l. aqsa mosque in jerusalem. outrage came in the form of almost three dozen rockets fired across the border from southern lebanon. palestinian refugee camps have for decades shelter tens of thousands of displaced people on friday, israel

responded targeting the weapons and the palestinian militant groups. they say launched them. this is an irrigation channel running through this banana field. this used to be a bridge over top of it, leading to a hotel by the sea and obviously took a direct hit. locals say the force was so intense that it shook their homes. they also insist that this would not have been a good place to store weapons. the aftermath attracted a crowd of local residents and farmhands among them khalil al rajhi, who makes no apologies for the rockets fired at israel . this is a response, he says. this at the very least, is a message that we as the lebanese people stand for resistance. do you want peace with israel? i asked him of course not, he says. just down the road, though it is a much different story. abdul holland abdul sattar, a syrian refugee shows us the

shrapnel he's collected from the blast that left a hole in the roof of his farmhouse. kids were sleeping here at the time, and my wife and young kids, he says. i couldn't calm them down. we left syria to flee the shelling. and now this. he walked us through the orange grove passed more and more disturbed earth that was hit by shrapnel is about 200 yards away from here. it seems far until you see the size of the crater? abdul saunter says there were no weapons here. incredibly the only living casualties were the orange trees, some ripped apart at the trunk. hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for any of the rockets fired from lebanon. neither has any palestinian armed group. the lebanese army vowed to stop the attacks and located in dismantled several rocket launchers and rockets hidden amongst the hillsides and

terrorist orchards. on saturday , they found one more sign a new attack was on the way. at least for now. so paula. we went to the town where the lebanese army said that some of these rockets from lebanon were actually fired at israel, and we couldn't find any locals willing to talk to us on camera. but one man did tell us that he doesn't support any kind of escalation, he said. frankly, when his son feel scared, so does he. he said that now is simply not the time. scott mclean for us in beirut. appreciate that update. against this backdrop of violence. thousands of israelis are not backing down. is there demand that benjamin netanyahu's government dropped its controversial election? pardon me judicial reforms, an estimated 145,000 protesters rallied salad saturday. intel aviv. holding a moment of silence for the three people killed in the past day in terror attacks in the city and the west bank. but then the anti reform

protests resumed. and it was loud marking the 14th week of demonstrations. legislative action on the proposed reforms is paused for now, but the passover holiday ends next week and the government's push could soon resume. the protesters say. despite the violence, they must keep up their pressure. listen. and the same and i believe they're trying to discourage us from protesting. but on the contrary, i think it makes us more determined to come out and protest. we need to keep up the demonstration and keep going and restore order in our country by social problem isn't only our security against terror. we have enemies within us. the external enemies. we're used to it. we trust our security forces completely. but when it comes to our internal enemies, this is when we protest. that's why we are here today. strong and united here in the united states. now the supreme court overturned roe v. wade last

year, and that room ruling did not settle the abortion issue, as many might have believed. in fact, it's becoming even more contentious. the justice department will appeal the decision by a trump appointed judge in texas to take an abortion drug off the market, even though it's been widely available for decades and is considered extremely safe for women. now, less than an hour after that ruling, and obama appointed judge in washington state ordered the federal government to keep the same drug available in 17 states. plus the district of columbia. as cnn senior legal analyst elie honig explains, it may be up to the u. s. supreme court to reconcile these two opposing decisions. now we have what we call a circuit split. you have two different chords and two different circuits of the country who have issued conflicting and contradictory rulings that cannot be reconciled. you have this judge in texas who has said, i hereby order that sales of this medication be suspended nationwide at the same time,

about an hour later, we have a different federal judge in washington state, saying, i hereby order that this drug remain available in the 17 states plus washington, dc that brought this lawsuit. you cannot reconcile those two things. this is a classic case. is that will make its way up to the supreme court. if you're wondering how on earth could this judge overturned essentially the fda approval when the fda approved it 23 years ago, and it's been approved since then you're asking the right question. it is a very shaky, questionable legal decision by this judge. i think it's sort of a picture of what some people call judicial activism. he's inserting his own medical judgment. he's not a doctor. he's a judge for the fda. and he's saying basically, i know better than they've known for the last 23 years, and that should should. let's note that covers republican. and democratic administration, so i think there's a real legal weakness here, but it will ultimately ultimately be up to the supreme court. we know they overturned roe v. wade last year, but i should say there were some indications in the dobbs decision that we may not have the same 63 outcome on this

separate question of medication medication. so what exactly is pressed? oh now it's sold under various brand names such as membership wrecks and coral. um, it blocks a hormone called progesterone, which a woman's body needs in order to continue a pregnancy. food and drug administration in the united states approved the drug, coupled with another pill called miso postal for abortion use in the year. 2000 these two drug combinations are also available in more than 60, other countries. oops. cnn's elizabeth cohen takes a closer look at safety aspects of the drugs and other issues. over the past 23 years, millions of american women have taken the drug called medford, kristen, in combination with another drug for miscarriages and also for abortions. let's take a look at how those numbers have climbed. as you can see, the numbers have gotten much larger over the years right now, more than 53%

of abortions in the u. s they're done with medication. they're done with pills. they're not done by surgery. and if we take a look at safety, these pills have an excellent safety profile. if you look at me for kristen. for every million women who take it. there will be five deaths. if you look at penicillin for every million people who take it, there will be 20 deaths. if you look at viagra for every million patients that take it, there will be 49 deaths. if the ruling from the texas judge stance that means that women across the country will lose access to this medication. in addition, there could be another effect if the judge's ruling stands from a suitable companies might say, wait a minute. we're investing millions and millions of dollars. dollars into research and development for drugs. the fda looks at it. they're outside advisers. all these scientists look at it. and now we need to worry that a single judge, not even a scientist, that a single judge can just pull it off the market. it could definitely discourage them from investigating and from researching new drugs, and that

could affect us all back to you. thanks to elizabeth cohen. there now supporters of abortion rights are furious over the ruling to block that drug. democratic senator john fetterman slammed it as another attempt by republicans to impose in nationwide abortion ban. cnn's elena train has more now from washington. democrats immediately started railing against the court's decision once it was announced, and some like senator ron wyden and congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez went so far as to say that president biden should ignore the routing the ruling altogether. republican lawmakers , meanwhile, have been far less outspoken, and some of the leaders have virtually been silent on the issue. now that's something that senate majority leader chuck schumer pointed out on a press call saturday morning. here's what he had to say. i think the republicans know that these their decisions that dobbs decision, this court decision are wildly unpopular with the american people. they're probably at least in some of the survey data on popular with a large number of

republicans. so what? they are afraid to speak out. but that is outrageous. now i will argue. schumer's press call was on a saturday during the holiday weekend, so i'm not sure how many republicans were paying close attention to him, but schumer's point was valid. this is very tricky territory for republicans to navigate abortion in the wake of the dobbs decision has not been a winning message for them, and we saw that during the 2022 midterm elections. as for what congress can do, they don't have many options. the bill the bills that they want to pass are essentially dead on arrival, and they can and someone already have begun applying pressure on the button administration to appeal the ruling. but legislatively, there isn't much that congress can do. schumer did say, however, that senate democrats remain committed to passing the women's health protection act, which is a bill aimed at preserving abortion access nationwide, but that legislation failed to pass last year due to the balance of power in congress and remains unlikely to pass now. given that republicans control the house and democrats have a narrow majority in the senate, elena train cnn washington just ahead

reform and really, just the energy that, um, but this has led to in our movement here in tennessee. this is not just a moment for us organizers here in tennessee. this is a part of a movement. we've been on the ground knocking doors. we've been bringing young people out to do voter registration and to mobilize and organize people to action. and those three who were expelled or the two works building and gloria johnson. they represent our movements. they are our leaders. they are the people that are people elected. and it was just heartbreaking to witness what i say public lynching of two black men in our state capital. local commissions will choose interim lawmakers until special elections can be held. but in both cities it appears the commissioners just might choose jones and pearson to retake those seats. cnn's isabel little solace has our details. the spotlight right now is shining on those two vacant state house seats. local lawmakers in the

districts of jones and pearson right now they're working to determine those next steps that tennessee constitution empowers them to appoint an interim successor. so we could be looking at a situation here where these ousted lawmakers are put back into their same seats. on friday, we saw the white house sending support in the way of vice president kamala harris. she flew to tennessee. she met one on one with the so called tennessee three, and she also spoke before a crowd. listen. it wasn't about the three of these leaders. it was about who they were representing. it's about whose voices they were channeling. understand that. and is that not what a democracy allows. democracy says you don't silence the people. you do not stifle the people. you don't turn off their microphones when they are speaking. this week.

all eyes on nashville and memphis are two biggest cities in the state of tennessee and important meeting for the metro council happening over nashville on monday, where they are looking to not only nominate, but also to appoint representative justin jones, former representative back into his same seat. we're told by a city council member jeff syracuse, that they have the numbers that they have a super majority in order to push that vote through. meanwhile over in memphis in the shelby county area, the commissioners office there. mchale lowry, the chairman of the board of commissioners, saying that they will not discuss pearson's situation until their regularly scheduled meeting happening. on wednesday. isabelle rose, ella's cnn atlanta. about 100 people gathered in downtown nashville saturday, two march on the state capitol in support of gun control. the march happened, of course, just as we were explaining what went on on the

on the floor of the statehouse. now these people in that state house were in fact protesting in support of that gun control and almost two weeks since the mass shooting of the covenant school in nashville, where six people were killed. many of the marchers were high school students who couldn't participate during other protests earlier in the week. they left signs, flowers and stuffed animals on the steps of the capitol as a memorial to the victims of the school shooting now, a new study in fact, has found that shootings are becoming more lethal, with a record number of people dying from firearm injuries in the united states. that number more than one million dead over the last three decades. cnn chief medical correspondent dr sanjay gupta has more. and just to give you some context a million people dying from gun violence there have been about a million people have died from the opioid epidemic since 1999 as well over the last couple of decades, and that's something we talked about. a lot of people want to

give some context in terms of how these numbers are changing. over time, these researchers decided to basically follow the severity of the injuries and try and figure out how much more severe are the injuries nowadays compared to a few years ago, and as you look at these numbers, keep in mind that medical care has improved. we can take care of injuries that we had a harder time taking care of a couple of decades ago, and e. m s is typically faster in most areas as well. but despite that, if you go back and look at 1999 the likelihood that someone would die at the scene before they could get to a hospital was around 52% fast forward to now, or 2021. it's closer to 57% to 9% increase. it may not seem like a lot but again, keep in mind that we are much more facile medically at being able to take care of these injuries, and despite that more people are still dying on the scene. now there's a there's a lot of reasons a lot of things going on here. and i do want you to keep in mind that the vast majority

of injuries the mass majority of homicides, this was looking at homicides, not suicides are due to handguns. that is true, but the number of people who are dying of handguns and people who are dying on scene from handguns, that number has remained relatively stable over the last several years. what has changed is the introduction of assault rifles and just need the types of injuries that can cause the likelihood of surviving an assault rifle on scene. obviously much, much lower. and then a handgun now, part of the reason is just the overall force the foot pounds as it's measured of force from a the kinetic energy from me assault rifle versus a handgun. if you just take a look there, you can see on this graphic how much of a difference there is and when you're trying to take care of somebody who suffered an injury? from that kind of kinetic energy. it is a very different type of energy. it actually causes capitation within the body, and it's much more difficult to care for them.

those patients, so we have seen lots of trends. we've seen increasing number of deaths, while the percentage is still great, as far greater for handgun injuries and handgun homicides. assault rifles are increasingly causing more deaths on scene, and that's the number that is changing over the last several years. thanks to dr sanjay gupta. and it is easter sunday, and pope francis is presiding over easter mass. amid concerns about his house. he looks absolutely fine there. we'll have an update from the vatican coming up next. trying to control my asthma felt anything but norormal. enough ws enough. i talked to an asthma specialist and found out my severe asthma is driven by ego cinephiles type of asthma. akala can help control now fewer

viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton and you are watching cnn newsroom and we want to go back to our top story. thousands of worshippers had gathered in st peter's square as pope francis presides over easter mass. soon deliver his traditional blessing, and you can hear the cheers from the crowd there for more, we go to cnn's delia gallagher. who is in rome for us daily. i have to tell you, i'm admiring these camera angles. we really get to see um what the pope is looking at right now. glorious day he looks healthy. and yet as you've chronicled his his health has been an issue. yeah absolutely. paula. i mean, it's wonderful to see him here. he's out amongst the crowd it masses finished. obviously he had a chance to chat with some of the cardinals shake their hands. he was in a wheelchair as they pushed him around to greet the cardinals as well. but certainly good spirits, which suggests that it was a good thing that he skipped

the way of the cross. out at night on friday evening here in rome because of the cold because , of course he's getting over bronchitis, and that's not something that you want to do to an 86 year old pope is getting over bronchitis put him out in the cold at night. so while this has been a very challenging because there's been many, many events for the pope, we've seen that he has been up to it. certainly compared to saturday, when he got out of the hospital. he seems to be in in good spirits, of course when he got out the hospital had chance to ask him how he was feeling. and he said still alive, you know, he jokes about about his health , but obviously his main problem right now is the mobility one. he has to really move around with a wheelchair. he doesn't say mass because he can't stand for long periods of time behind the altar, so you'll see him now . he'll give the orbit or be addressed as you mentioned when he talks about various conflicts in the world, and normally he'll do that from the balcony of st

peter's basilica up there, um, so he'll have to go back around and up and elevator. but certainly in terms of his health . yes pope francis is a toughie. paula i mean, he's 86 years old . and so he's older than either john paul the second or benedict the 16th when they were pope, but he still keeps up very, very heavy schedule, particularly with international travel. he likes to get out. but obviously logistically that becomes more difficult. since he can't move around so well, paula again moving around the aid of the pope mobile right now, and we await that traditional blessing . delia gallagher for us in rome. thanks so much. ukrainian officials say a father and daughter were killed in new russian strikes on the city of zepa. rusia we received these images you're looking at right there short time ago, showing what's left of a building ravaged by that overnight attack . ukraine also says one woman was rescued from the rubble of a building that was heavily

damaged. in the meantime, ukrainian troops are fighting to keep a lifeline open to the embattled city of buck moot. a cnn team reports near constant artillery fire in the town of david er. and that happens to be a key supply route onto that road, which they are trying to basically keep that key supply routes open to the city center of mahmoud. ukraine also says its energy system has been struck by more than 1200, russian rockets and drones. the statement didn't say over which period of time but the energy grid. has been, of course, repeatedly targeted for months. now over the past year, eastern ukraine has become a ghastly hellscape of villages and towns hollowed out by russian shelling . many are nearly devoid of people, but not everyone is willing to leave their homes and one local pastor, make sure the faithful among them. are not forgotten. cnn's ben wedeman has our report. done in his flak

jacket. pastor igor yearsof of the protestant bethlehem christian church prepares for his rounds. today he is conducting services in the village of maximilian in just a few miles from russian lines. churches a hurried affair. just 45 minutes of no frills sermon in prayer to terry dangerous russian artillery shell recently landed next door sprain. shrapnel on the walls, destroying the roof, shattering the windows. yet when the faithful emerged, there is momentarily a sense of serenity . it calms your soul, says natalia. we feel that we are with god and that he protects us . but for the handful of residents, maximilian is a is a ghost town. the fuse. still here depend upon the kindness of others for their sustenance, including bread brought by

pastor igor one loaf per person. once a week every sunday. this is the only time these people can get fresh bread. fresh bread is still warm. but man cannot live on bread alone today, says pastor igor is the most precious thing for people here on the front lines. afterwards we went with the pastor to a nearby bomb shelter and abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium. at the shelter entrance shows us where parts of the rockets struck a month ago that day, he recalls, when rain began to fall, and others went below, then the rocket hit. if it had been five minutes earlier, he said, no one would have survived down below. they have electricity, even satellite television. ana distracts herself by cooking. she never leaves the shelter.

good friday agreement, and that's the peace deal that brought an end to decades of sectarian violence. it established a power sharing government in northern ireland, comprised of both unionists and republicans. but it's worth it. revisiting how the agreement came about in 1993 key leaders from ireland's nationalist movement began talks aimed at ending the violence and ira ceasefire in 1994 allowed for peace talks to begin the next year. representatives from ireland's republican sinn fein party met with a british government minister. and that was the first time in 23 years now the ira ended its ceasefire for a time. but it was reinstated in 1997, paving the way for sinn fein to take part in multi party talks at stormont. and finally, one year later, the good friday agreement was signed and endorsed through historic referendum. but ahead of this year's anniversary, police are now on high alert, deploying significant forces this easter weekend and they're

warning of possible disorder even terrorist activity from dissident republicans. top officer says these measures haven't been necessary for years. joining us now is katie hayward. she is a professor of political sociology at queens university in belfast. and it is really good to have you tell us your perspective after this deal is now a quarter century. i mean, we just heard about the heightened concerns, but, you know, i have to underscore a few thought that this peace agreement could even get done, let alone survived. 25 years. of course, the agreement isn't perfect, but you know, give us some insight into how it's transformed northern ireland. yes mean as you say the lead up to the agreement was one of on and off and doubts as to whether ceasefires could hold whether the parties could be in a room together. so when we finally crossed the line when the announcement was made that good friday, it seemed not only sense of joy, but also relief. um and since then, of course, we have

had many ups and downs in the peace process. the paramilitary organizations, as you say, continue to exist. in particular , they exert control and intimidation amongst the most vulnerable communities and we also have a situation in which the power sharing institutions haven't functioned for too much of the time. i think in the past 25 years, and yet we have seen society transformed. we don't have political violence and we have a new generation. who um, almost take peace for granted. they think of northern ireland as a fairly normal society, and i teach in queens university and it's a real privilege to be able to teach them not only about the conflict, which they have no memory of, but also about the agreement and what it means for them and how they still have to. they have hope for the future and indeed still need to achieve those ambitions that were set out 25 years ago in terms of reconciliation. and it is it is

heartening to hear that that new generation will try and build on the peace deal to get to reconciliation. i have to ask you about the challenges ahead. brexit which i know you look at closely is one of them. but i was so interested in the point that you made that its political polarization right now that is eroding the democratic capacity in the power sharing agreements in northern ireland. you know, we hear this all the time. and so many jurisdictions there is no middle ground anymore. it seems for compromise. i mean, what do you think needs to be done in the years to come along with really reconcile ng with brexit has to be done so that this peace deal continues to thrive. yes so i mean, we should remember 25 years ago, it was the moderate unionist and nationalist parties as well as the others. but the two largest parties where the moderate parties and they were overtaken within a few years by the more hardline parties in sinn fein and the democratic unionist party, and so on the political scene. we've seen some

polarization. it's the hardline parties that have been dominant. on the ground. however it's slightly different, so there has been an emergence of, um, a situation in which most people in northern ireland say that they are neither unionist nor nationalist, and this isn't just two months younger generation, although it is particularly true amongst them. the question is, how do we have a situation in which that political system reflects that? and this is a question we have now 25 years on so in the northern ireland life and town survey, which is a social attitude survey in northern ireland, we ask people about this seven out of 10. people in northern ireland say yes, the good friday agreement remains the best basis for governing northern ireland. however, we see a majority now saying that it does need to be reformed in a way that reflects the fact that so many people now consider themselves in terms other than unionists and nationalists. so interesting that that would resonate for many people, the fact that it does not reflective of public opinion what is going on now, in many cases in northern ireland,

you know, i know this is very naive question intellectually, but i have to ask it, you know so many people doubted that this deal could be done and there are so many dramatic moments, including former us president bill clinton getting involved in terms of what made this deal possible. so i ask you about the possibility what can be learned from this deal when we look at other conflicts around the world that so desperately need, compromise and breakthrough right now. hmm i think so. northern ireland has been held up as a good example for peace processes elsewhere, and that's with good reason. getting the political parties in the same room, making sure that they bring the hardliners with them and the confidence and courage that was needed amongst political leadership. all of that is important to bear in mind. i think we can also take lessons from what hasn't happened in northern ireland. so that commitment to reconciliation still remains outstanding. we haven't dealt properly with the legacy of the past. there is still competing narratives about the cause of the troubles. and indeed,

there's not much of a common voice as to what northern ireland's future should be. and so i think a focus on what's needed at community level was particularly reaching out to those most vulnerable sections of society that continue to suffer multiple deprivation, particularly economic terms, trying to address those social issues, economic issues as well as the political ones. that would be a lesson. i think from this peace process and that would also ones that we still need to address here in northern ireland, looking ahead to the next 25 years and how to ensure that the peace remains as strong as possible, and everyone hopes it does remain strong. professor katie hayward. thanks so much for your insights appreciate it. so. now some news just in to cnn, police in the german city of hamburg have warned residents of possible toxins and heavy smoke. after a major fire broke out sunday, residents are being warned by the city's fire department that cloud of smoke is moving towards the city center. some 104 40 people have
