this is what it looks like to reed wiseman, an astronaut in the international space station.orecasters plotted the track of arthur. it disrupted the holiday fans of americans celebrating the 4th of july holiday. as the u.s. celebrates the 4th of the july, islanders in hawaii are questioning their own path, a bid to build a native hawaiian government is raising the claim over the 50th state. [ singing ] >> hawaii's language and culture is celebrated on the islands. however, the teaching of hawaii was banned after the teaching was overthrown. it's this history of colonisation, where those of native hawaiian ancestry will be addressed by the formation of a native hawaiian government. >> if you have a legal entity. it can pursue the rights that have been lost in the consequence of colonisation. >> over a year and a half tens and thousands of hawaiians signed up on an electoral role. the framework was questioned in the u.s. by the head of the state agencies administering the process. in a letter to the state department in may, the ceo of the office of hawaiian affairs questioned t

. >>> and here comes our picture taken by read wiseman on the storm. pretty neat there. we have video too. this is courtesy of cameras mounted on the international space station about 260 miles above the actual storm, so safe distance away but so need to see it swirling there unfortunately for some going to the beaches on the east coast this fourth of july, they will not be so lucky but katie, that is south of us, right. >> that is when they will feel the worst of the impact from arthur more direct impact because carolinas most specifically will get clipped by that storm but stays out to sea for us. problem for us if you go to the beach, it will be rough surf, rip currents so pay attention to the life guards. it doesn't look like friday ends up being the best beach day because we are still trying to get rid of the cold front. we have arthur. once both of those features get out of here we will have have an absolutely beautiful weekend but in the the meantime we have to wait this thing out. you can see this storm still swirling away on the eastern seaboard, zoom here, and

astronaut reed wiseman on the international space station tweeted this. >> look at that storm. >> andd with this, betty, he said, oh, by the way, arthur, looks like you've gained an eye since the last time i saw you. >> that's almost a perfect eye, too. >> from this vantage point you can really see that. 9:00 p.m. yesterday is when it became, again, a hurricane. kevin g., he tweeted this and this is something that washington, d.c., and the area needs to look for. as arthur makes its way up north you'll see a lot of this. beautiful shots here. this is at union station. the amtrak station there. in washington, d.c. and the flags up in the sky, but how ominous it looked yesterday. there are some concerns of surge, according to noaa. up to three feet, some flooding in areas close to washington, d.c. so they could see some of that heavy weather making their way. and finally for you, a little bit of humor, shall we say, as we make it into this great july 4th weekend. dean norris from "breaking bad" posted this on vine. >> it's getting hairy out here. hurricane crazy. >> so betty, obviously

nasa astronaut reed wiseman couldn't resist tweeting a picture of the storm. saying, quote, it looks mean. joe johns is on north carolina's outer banks, right in the cross hairs of the hurricane. tracking arthur from cnn's headquarters in atlanta. no one knows it better than you. how bad is it expected to get? sorry, we're not hearing chad there. we will come back to him when we fix that audio problem. first, i want to go to our joe johns, who is out in the outer banks. can you tell us what you're seeing there now? you're starting to see the outer rings the storm coming through there? >> to be honest, it's another day at the beach at least so far. want to give you an idea where i am. this is kill devil hills, north carolina. to the south down there is cape hatteras, north carolina. the cape hatteras national seashore. they're under a hurricane watch. the beaches are supposed to be closed around 9:00. the lifeguards left their posts. at kill devil hills, hundreds of people getting in a little bit of extra sun. i talked to a lot of those people. they told me doe

reid wiseman tweeted the photo from space saying hoping it leads to sea. looks mean. more on exactly where tropical storm arthur is heading, let's go to the weather channel's julie martin. >> alex, here's the latest as of the 2:00 advisory from the national hurricane center. the good news a storm has not strengthened any. we're looking at winds at 60 miles per hour and now sitting at about 110 miles east northeast of cape canaveral and starting to move slowly, 7 miles per hour to the north trending a little bit eastward as well. that is also welcome news. if it continues to trend away from the u.s. coast. but we are expecting intense fiction of arthur and perhaps hurricane strength by friday in cape hatteras, the outer banks. that where we're looking at bigger impacts to be felt. sitting well off the coast of charleston, rough surf from charleston all the way up through north carolina and thursday evening, starting at about 7:00, 8:00, in through early friday morning, we're expecting the biggest impacts there along the outer banks of north carolina. beyond that, the s

we'll talk about that, first a wiseman, mike inouye. >> thank you. weizman once saise man once sai know any wise quotes. this is north at 23rd, reports of a dog running around. at 66, there was a stalled vehicle. that's cleared from the lanes. that's good news. the rest of the bay looking smooth including the peninsula. let's look at palo alto, we'll end with this shot of 101. no problems on the approach to university. back to you. >> thank you very much. >>> police are looking for your help after someone abandoned a dog on the streets of benicia with the word "free" written on her body. >>> new this morning, a deadly crash in south san jose closes a major street. >>> and water wasters beware. new rules that could cost people hundreds of dollars in fines. >>> always calling to conserve. good morning to you. nice and humid for today. plenty of clouds out there. by tomorrow, clearing those clouds out with a nice ocean breeze. then we get into a gorgeous weekend. i will take you to the changes in just moments. >>> at bay bridge toll plaza, tracking that

here's a view that astronaut reed wiseman posted from space via twitter. may look pretty from up there but it's not fun to be in that. cnn's meteorologist chad myers is live from the cnn severe weather center in atlanta. i did not expect you and i were going to have this conversation just two days before the big holiday but we are. lay it on me. >> the good news is by the holiday weekend, it's all over. it's in halifax, it's affecting nova scotia. the next couple of day, we have to worry about. florida today, south carolina, north carolina. and then an impact, if we do get a landfall, right near cape hatteras. there's the storm, ashleigh, getting more and more bright colors. even a few bright colors in the gulf of mexico. we're getting more moisture, we're getting warmer water. it's in the gulf stream. here's the three dimensional radar. flatten it out. see how bumpy the storm gets. there's the center of the circulation. i can't quite call it an eye yet but it's close to an eye. when the storm gets to an eye, starts to breathe on its own. it inhales and it

nasa flight engineer reid wiseman is joining us from the international space station. good morning.lowers in just a month. what inspired you to share all those videos and pictures? >> well, carson, if you could just see the view, if you could live up here for one day you would realize it's just taking pictures of our daily life. it's amazing. this is incredible. it's a huge honor to be up here. so this needs to be shared. >> you're doing a great job of it. you've also shared world cup spirit you are experiencing up there. tell us about you had a full head of hair before the usa loss to germany last year. >> well, i definitely had some time to say good-bye to my hair. then i went down and my commander steve swanson and our mate grabbed the clippers and there was no turning back. to be quite honest, i think i like it. >> it's a good look for you. we wanted to return the favor to you so we're asking people to take a picture of their view from earth right now. you're going to see our lovely camera man here. but i'm going to take a picture and reid, we want you to search the #here on ear

if you take a look at this picture from reid wiseman, is he an astronaut, is he from outerspace.athtaking view of arthur with his eye that is incredible. incredible storm about to make landfall. looks like this eye wall is scraping across carolina. we also have the threat for tornadoes. tornado warning just west of plymouth. this is something we are going to watch. weak tornadoes but it could do some damage none the less. there is the track again. we get a new advisory out at 9:00 eastern time and then a complete advisory 11:00 new track. we have to watch this as it makes landfall the next couple of hours. coastal hours of north carolina. and monitoring it as it moves up the northeast coast line. tropical storm advisories for cape cod and the islands and then of course we will continue to monitor it overnight. >> thanks so much. and thanks for being with us. tomorrow make sure to watch proud to be an american at noon right here on fox and then at 7:00 p.m. an "on the record" special wrong turn, marine held in mexico that's tomorrow at 7:00. set your dvr. see you next week on the

here's reed wiseman. this is from the iss. great shot.we show you satellite pictures all the time but we don't always show you tweet pictures from nasa right above the top of the cloud. here's what it looks like right now. i don't see a lot of rain getting back to baltimore and d.c. think you're clear. there could be one more band that still develops back here in the heat of the day, but for the most part, the rain is going to be massachusetts, new hampshire, back down to connecticut and even rhode island with a couple of flood warnings going on there. there should be at least a couple of inches of rain today. and i think we're probably really happy we got all those things done yesterday across the northeast, especially boston, because it's going to be a washout tonight. this storm is still moving away. still 90 miles an hour. soon to die, because the water here is not as warm as the water was down in north carolina. the gulf stream kind of makes a turn off to the east and now this is getting in much cooler water. a hurricane needs warm w

astronaut reed wiseman on the international space station taking a break to tweet this out of arthur.ed said in his tweet was, good to see you again, arthur. looks like you've grown an eye since i last saw you. yes, because arthur became a category two and became a hurricane yesterday. kevin g. davis tweed this. this is washington, d.c. you guys have to be looking out for the effects of arthur. this was at amtrak station and they get ready to celebrate july fourth up in the sky. then dean norris. he played hank schrader on "breaking bad." he posted this. >> get harry out here! hurricane crazy! i don't know if i can take it shrm. >> then his family as they pan the camera over, like what is dad doing here? he is being an actor is what he is doing. he is spoofing absolutely what reporters are doing out when they are reporting as we have been going up and down the coast. it's been difficult in some spaces. he is getting a nice july fourth laugh. there is concerns of wind. those 100-mile-an-hour plus reports of wind up and down the outer banks of north carolina. we will be going back to th

even photographed by astronaut reid wiseman from outer space took up their entire view. only okinawa but many of the surrounding islands in that area and on a path straight toward japan in the coming days. >> as we know has a huge military base there in okinawa. this storm could then deliver, what, a second blow after the initial blow? what is the latest on that? >> yeah. this is only round one. the big problems for japan could actually come wednesday evening into thursday local time. that's because kiushu has been inundated with heavy rain since last week. 84,000 people already evacuated because of flooding in the area. it's japan's mainland southern-most island. if this storm moves as predicted to this area which is already drenched with rain, we could see potentially devastating flooding, landslides and a lot of problems for a lot of people. >> it's an awful situation over there. will ripley on the scene for us in tokyo. thanks very much. let's bring in our severe weather expert, meteorologist chad myers. give us some perspective. how big of a storm is this? >> this i

reed wiseman from nasa from the a space station took that picture of what is arthur.es. that's what it looks like from space. i know we always show you the satellite but it's not the same as someone actually taking a picture and tweeting it back to earth. here's the storm. there's one of our reporters right there, alina machado about the get the northern eye wall abwas badass it's going get. but all of this water piling up in the arc, this arc right here acting like a catcher's mitt holding all of the water. and before this is done, a lot of people aren't going to be how much of the beach is gone or if there's any beach left. some of the houses across the street may have beach front property. when you get 100 mile-per-hour winds pounding on shore, that's what you're going to see. this is what it looks like, the kaefs coming in. it was low tide about an hour again. it's no longer that. the waves are piling up. this is what it looks like at cure beach. a low tide right now and there's the barrier. that right there is the beginning of the dunes. the waves only 10 to 20 f

if you go back to the first drug developed against "good morning america", shell month wiseman figured out there had to be things in nature that fought tuberculosis. so they went into the soil of staten island and figured out there were bacteria there that produced chemicals that killed the tuberculosis back tier ya. so there are ways we can use fire fight fire, if you will. >> the cdc or hhs take regulatory steps to enforce responsible use of abilities in hospitals? antibiotics in hospitals? >> we have to work in collaboration with the health care system. and one of the biggest challenges for public health in the coming years is that inte duration of public health and clinical medicine. at cdc we've been delighted to have a very positive, constructive partnership. we've run something called the national health care safety network, and we had many hospitals involved, and then cms said, oh, and by the way, if you want to get 100% of your reimbursement, you must participate, and suddenly we had 14,000 facilities participating, and they benefit from that. they are given information that t

this is a photo, what an incredible image from astronaut reed wiseman showing arthur taking dead aimstates. complete coverage from the storm. we start with meteorologist indra peter sox in kill devil hills, north carolina, for a couple of days. it's a cat 2 storm. it's moved on but effects are still being felt. >> michaela, the strongest hurricane we found on the u.s. mainland that made ranful since 2008. you can see here the beach erosion that's already happened and you can see that's what happened as the waves came onshore this morning with more of that easterly direction, but take a look behind me. this is our concern. you can actually see way back in the distance here someone is now swimming. that is the last thing you want to see with the big threat of a rip current and that will continue throughout the day even after the storm passes, definitely not what you want to be seeing. what you're noticing right now if you take a look at the ocean is it's starting to go backwards. there's reason for that. this morning all the beach erosion the wind was coming from the easterly direction

real idea of the scale of this storm, look at this photograph taken from space from astronaut reed wiseman. 250 miles across, that monster is. it is heading north, towards the main islands of japan where it is expected to reach a little bit later this week. don't forget also that okinawa is home to 30,000 u.s. service personnel. the bigger space in the pacific. and they have also been on lockdown. but as of now the storm is expected to lose some of its strength over the coming hours. back to you. >> ian williams in bangkok. thank you. >>> four nato soldiers are among the 16 people killed in a suicide attack in eastern afghanistan. they were from the czech republic. the taliban say they carried out the attack. local officials say the others killed are 10 civilians and two police officers. >>> the israeli military says it has struck at least 50 sites in the hamas/gaza strip. that violence comes following an duck and murder of three israeli taeupblgs and a palestinian teenager. ayman, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. the israeli military is calling it operation protective edge.
