so there's bardarbunga, eruptions still possible. so we could go back to imminent, don't know what's going on out there. they're monitoring this with radar, with cameras and you got all the scientists out there pouring through the data and seeing what is going on with bardarbunga. there you see these are the latest quakes and what was concerning in the last 24 hours that we had a 4.3 then a 4.7 then a 5.3, pretty significant shaking of the earth. here's some of the pictures that we've been able to capture but they have a lot more cameras and a lot more sensitive cameras and cameras that can see things that the naked eye cannot. along with radar and size mom sisters, of course, that are monitoring any of the shaking out there. size mommer the. so we'll watch it here. they seem mesmerized by that craft there. >> that's a very boring meeting. you know the volcano's going to blow at any moment. >> can you imagine the i.q. in that room? they're going keep us up to date and hopefully it won't blow because i tell you what, if we do, the jet

in the air from a half-mile crack in the earth, the long awaited eruption of iceland's massive bardarbungaientists have been on high alert after days of small earthquakes. their fear, a huge eruption could send a plume of ash across europe. we traveled to iceland this week, a country of more than 30 active volcanos. volcanic activity certainly isn't new to iceland. the volcanos have been blasting for millions of years. as you head east you see everything is black, filled with lava, rocks and ash. but an eruption's effects can be felt thousands of miles away. in 2010, another icelandic volcano sent ash drifting across europe, cancelling more than 100,000 flights. passengers stranded for days. today's explosion began under europe's largest glacier. scientists bracing for an explosion of ash created when hot magma hits ice. >> the power of a decent explosion in a glacier is many hiroshima bombs. >> reporter: that didn't happen today. so far, scientists have not detected any ash. encouraging news. people who live in this remote part of the world telling me they're prepared for whatever comes.

iceland's bardarbunga volcano is acting up after yesterday's 5.4 magnitude earthquake struck that region. lava lines flowed along the volcanic fissure today, prompting a high alert level which was later lowered. despite the volcano's activity, there was no ash cloud and airports remain open. the spread of the most recent the spread of the most recent strain of the ebola virus across parts of west africa has highlighted not just the lethality of the disease but also the strains on the existing medical infrastructure there. for further insight, yesterday i spoke with stephen morse, professor of epidemiology at the mailman school of public health at columbia university and estrella lasry, tropical medicine advisor at doctors without borders. >> first, why is this strain so much more lethal compared to others? we're talking 3,000 people infected, 1500 dead. >> i think it is more lethal from other strains of ebola zaire. i think the problem is there are a large number of people getting infected and people are not getting care at the appropriate times. but i don't believe biologically, it is b

that is what we have going here with the bardarbunga. when you have the alert at that level it means an eruption is likely. especially if you have the main chamber eruption. the ash will go to the atmosphere, 20 to 30,000 feet. not only because of the explosion but the con vek that occurs. the air is heated, rises and we get in to trouble with this getting in to parts of the european air space here. this already happened. we have this fissure here but sub glacially. nothing has come up and broken the glacier here. that's when you get the eruption. a plausible scenario is we continue with mini eruptions under the glacier and not the main one here. that's what with we are looking for. if we do that's when we get in to trouble. the upper level wind, this is iceland here, it can carry -- win windss understood late and vary. as it cools it sticks to everything. turbine blades can damage aif onices. you do not want a plane flying in to that. that's why they closed the air space around iceland. remains tbe seen whether the store expands. >> ver

this is the one of course we're talking about bardarbunga. the alert has been lowered.nd so an eruption is still possible. we'll have to babysit this and watch it very carefully. here's some of the recent quakes, a 5.3, pretty strong stuff, quake here. and some of the cracks that have been forming there on the glacier. we're just hoping that that's all it does. well, my goodness, since the last time i showed you this picture, these folks have not moved. they are still in the same room, poring through the data. you better believe it. we're in good hands here. they'll let us know what is happening. >>> the other story we're following across this part of the world in asia is the rain and heavy at that. look at that, 135 millimeters in japan in hokkaido. and flooding has taken place. we don't like to see that. scattered showers that won't be as heavy at this point here. look at that high building in. that will bring some nice weather across beijing and into the korean peninsula. but torrential downpours continue across southeast asia. look at this very heavy rainfall. we co

still the possibility of an eruption happening so let's break this down as far as the scenarios for bardarbungadic volcano. three main scenarios, magma could stop and everything goes quiet. that would be fantastic or we could have the dike that could reach the surface and crush starting an eruption. if it's going to ee result that would be the better scenario, the third is the large explosion that happened in 2010 from another volcano and that would be serious stuff because the jet stream winds would eventually -- there you see iceland, eventually those would carry the ash all the way down into european airspace and, my goodness that, would be a disaster so so far large earthquakes but no eruption and we are not imminent according to the icelandic volcanic agent there so good news. all right. speaking of europe, look at this low that's turning through london with heavy rainfall that moved through, in fact, crossing the north sea heading into germany with rainfall and cooler temperatures. look at the radar all lit up. now, errol barnett, i need assistance here. what is happening here? this is th

should land a group of scientists who went up with the icelandic coast guard air service over the bardarbunga volcano under a vast glaciers. they should land in the capital. they'll be updating the office on the situation. as you mentioned this is a sub glaisial eruption. it's difficult to know exactly how pressure the magna has and whether it will be enough to push through the thick ice on top of the glacier. and that, of course, is the question of whether it could be an ash eruption, a lot of fine ash, which, you know, people are wary of, are wherever the biggest risk, which is what scientists are saying, is likely to be flooding from when the ice melts and heads downstream. >> how is it affecting people in the area. well, there has been evacuations. a few hundred people have been evacuated in the area north of the glassier. they are not people who live there full time. it's very sparse, this area. the people have been evacuating. tourists have been tramping and staying in huts along the way. authorities fear that if the volcano were to erupt pt they may not have time to erupt everybody. sm

so this is not currently happening with bardarbunga.hat is happening is we have this fissure, right? this other channel that has developed here. so that has allowed some of the magma to begin surfacing here. and that is the plume that you are seeing there. a fissure eruption is less explosive here, and that's certainly a good thing. the problem is for the locals there that is going to be an issue because once that hot magma reaches the glacier you're going to have significant melting here. so that can cause some localized flooding. so we have local issues because of the ash and then we have local issues because of the flooding. and we are hoping to stay local because if we do get the main chamber eruption that is when you do start getting the ash into the upper-level winds and those come right down into europe. we'll keep you posted and keep watching for that. let's check in on conditions in asia. we've been seeing torrential downpours over the last couple of days across thailand. do we have pictures of thailand? i'll leave you with tho

four, iceland has closed air space near the bardarbunga volcano indicating eruption is imminent.will stay underground. the volcano is on a route for europe-bound flights. the ash poses a high risk for pilots, not only reduces visibility but can damage jet engines as well. and five, thousands rallied in new york for eric garner, a black man who died when an officer put him in a choke hold. demonstrators marched from where he died to the staten island d.a.'s office. the officer has been put on modified assignment and police are reviewing training procedures now. >>> of course, everybody prepares for the funeral of michael brown tomorrow, victor blackwell is there in ferguson, missouri. and fortunately victor, you tell us it's been a quiet night there. >> yes. six arrests overnight compared to a few days ago 47 arrests in the night. so relatively quiet. there were some tense moments but peaceful for the most part. as you mentioned michael brown's funeral is tomorrow. we know that there will be three white house officials attending. after the funeral the focus will be squarely on the
