The latest news from around the world. The latest news from around the world. Facing, not just the temperatures, the Daytime Temperatures in the redding area are in excess of 105 and closer to 110 degrees. And it that is taxing to the firefighters. Let alone the heat that the fire generates and all that plays into the fire behavior and i talked to many veteran firefighters in the wildland arena and heard almost verbatim from every one of them that the fire behave yoior that they witnessed and experienced on thursday evening into friday morning, they had never seen before. And these are Men And Women that have many, many years of experience and training under their belts. Climate change is making an impact. I was reading hear since 2012 there has not been a month without a Wildfire Burning in the state and the governor has called this a new normal. This is a completely different situation that anyone is trained
for. I know we have more video that you have also supplied to us to show firefighters going down a highway, you see flames on both sides of the highway. The question is, how do you sustain this . How do these brave Men And Women work in these conditions and, you know, were looking at a huge swath of the state. These arent just small pockets. No, no, theyre not, natalie. In fact there is two other fires in the Mendocino Area and lake county areas that have just sparked up today that are causing a lot of concern, but the video youre seeing, what youre those are highly trained Men And Women, the equipment that they have, both the personal protective gear and the Fire Apparatus are it is all designed to accomplish one goal and that is to suppress the fire and protect our water shed and protect our citizens. And i can tell you that if you
and i were caught out on that road that were watching, the firefighters working through, and it was you and i, we were trying to escape, our chances of surviving would be very little. It is terrifying to think that there are actually people working in these conditions and driving through these conditions. In fact, i have a quote here from the Redding Police chief that says this fire is scary to us, this is something we havent seen before in the city. And i just have to say, our thoughts are with all of the people that are working in this situation. Unprecedented times. And situations that no one could actually be prepared for, but they certainly are brave and i know the people there in california appreciate their work so much. Brian rice, we thank you so much for your time and we hopefully will talk with you again and hopefully things will get better before they get worse. Thank you. Thank you, natalie. Good night. Natalie, to your point, the video, the images terrifying to
see. You can only imagine what it is like for the people dealing with it. Our meteorologist derek van dam here to tell us about the fire and, of course, the conditions around it. Unfortunately weather is coming together to create this almost recipe for disaster for these fires to continue to spread. We have got temperatures in the triple digits. We have got gusty winds, especially on those ridge tops. We have a drought that is intensifying. And there is no chances of rain today or anytime in the future. So we have got a difficult situation Going Forward to say the least. Here is the latest, the car fire, we keep focusing on this one, because it is over 83,000 acres that have been burned, 5 containment, newest fire stats to cnn from ferguson and cranston fire, theyre gaining some ground, thats good news. Our hats we tip our hats to the firefighters, the volunteers and the professionals there, because, wow, theyre working so hard. Here is what it looks like from a plane. This is the 30,000 foot billow
of smoke sent into the sky from the car fire in around redding. You see it from space as well. Satellite imagery picking up on the smoke and cloud as well. You heard the firefighter a moment ago on that interview with natalie about the spotting. And this is a term they use because we get strong winds that take the embers from the tops of the hillsides and throw them several hundred feet in advance of the fire. Thats how new fires start. It is not only that, but it is also phenomenons like this. This is called a Firenado Or Fire Whirl or fire vortex, all the same, interchangeable. Look how it is picking up individual embers and tossing them across the street. You can imagine that is starting new fires well in advance of that fire. How does this form . We get rising air from very intense heat from fires. That air needs to be replaced. With that replacement of air
causes vortices, swirling motions. With the fire already in place, it starts to suck this up into the sky and looks like a tornado. It picks up the embers and creates the spot fires. And therefore our fires continue to spread. This is the forecast for redding. Look at the triple digit heat, absolutely no rainfall, timber dry across this region and equally as hot across the entire western u. S. As we speak. The erratic winds continue. This is the recipe for disaster. This is the perfect storm for fire conditions, extreme heat continues, and while you can see the National Weather service continues to issue red flag warnings in and around shasta county, on top of that, this is also creating a Pollution Risk as well across the sacramento valley, it captures a lot of the smoke and haze into the sky. All right, derek, well stay in touch with you. Thank you, derek. Another story were following, ten people were killed when a strong earthquake
struck an Indonesian Island East of bali, not far from a volcano. Dozens were injured including some of the people seen in this video. Right now rescue teams are searching for survivors.

She was jailed late last year after being filmed kicking and slapping an israeli soldier. The 17yearold palestinian has been released from an israeli prison and is back in her village in the west bank. Lets get more on this from cnns Oren Lieberman who joins us live from jerusalem. She became a symbol for the palestinian cause after her arrest. Tell us about her release and what shes had to say. Reporter a symbol and a hero, i would say. It seems her legend has grown since that arrest and since she became famous in 2012 when a picture emerged of her holding up a fist to an israeli soldier. She was released early this morning from a prison in Central Israel after serving eight months in prison. In march, she pleaded guilty in a plea deal to charges of incitement and disrupting a soldier. Eight of the 12 charges against her were dropped in a case her lawyer said had much more to do
with politics than with actual legal issues. She was taken from that prison, through a west Bank Crossing to her village where she very much got a heros welcome. Dozens of her supporters surrounded her, just as many members of the media it seems, supporters waving the palestinian flag and flags, Chanting Slogans in support of her. And then she made a very short statement, she said, from our home the resistance is continuing until the end of the occupation. She said a few more words and then urged everyone to come to a scheduled Press Conference she has for a little later on this afternoon. After making that short stop in her village, she went to ramallah, the president ial compound, and visited the grave of Palestinian LeaderYasser Arafat to pay her respects. Soon we expect her to be back on her way to the village where she will make those remarks. Interesting to see what she has to say after this time. Israel certainly got criticized for its treatment and arrest of a minor. Has the government had anything to say about her release . Reporter israel faced tremendous criticism, this case was very much a Lightning Rod for criticism of the israeli military, the Military Court system and its handling of palestinian youth. There were statements back during her arrest when the Defense Minister had said those who go wild during the day will be arrested at night. He very much supported the actions of the Israeli Soldiers and her arrest. It is worth noting that the incident itself happened a few hours after another israeli soldier had shot her cousin in the face with a rubber bullet, severely injuring him. Since then, since the plea deal in march, and now, we havent heard nearly as much from israeli officials. Well see if they make statements today. Well report them. As of right now israel would like this case to go away quickly and quietly, but by the looks of it it is not going to do. Dont think so. She was there with her mother and father who have been with her throughout this ordeal. As you say, shell be holding a news conference, well wait and see what else she has to say. Oren lieberman covering it for us, thank you. Russia is putting on a show of its Military Strength and the spectacle has geopolitical significance. Moscow is kicking off the International Army games and its navy day, a Public Holiday in russia. Moments ago, we saw president Vladimir Putin inspecting some of russias newest equipment designed to challenge the u. S. And nato. The showcase also serves as an international reminder of who russias allies are. Lets talk more about that with Cnn Senior International correspondent Fred Pleitgen following the story by phone now from st. Petersburg. A very important show of force, what does it mean for the domestic audience there in russia and also for people outside of russia, which audience is being targeted outside the borders . Im across from Vladimir Putin, hes speaking now. This has big significance both here for the russian audience and as you stated and also audiences abroad, specifically western countries as well. One of the things that we have been seeing over the past couple of weeks, we have seen that better relationship between President Trump and president putin talking about the disarmament, nuclear disarmament, better relations between the two countries, u. S. And russia. We keep that especially in the u. S. , there are a lot of people who are very averse to that. One thing that with those army games and especially today, what were seeing here right now, with naval display of force, theyre saying, look, you can have better relations with us, you have to understand we are still a very Strong Military force. The russians have been spending a lot of time and money over the last couple of years, upgrading their forces, especially their navy. Certainly something theyre putting on display here. If you look at the new things theyre going to be playing here after these games, they have a
stealth frigate inspected by Vladimir Putin, they have a submarine called the carrier killer designed to destroy, especially, of course, aircraft carrier, the russians are saying on the one hand, they want better relations, but on the other hand, theyre saying their forces are being upgraded all the time. Fret pleitgen on the phone with us. As you look at Vladimir Putin, talking about russias military mite, Fred Pleitgen following the story, tell us more about one piece that is certainly missing this time, were seeing a lot of things on display, but notably one thing not part of the lineup. Yeah. Look, absolutely right. That is something that is very important here. One thing that the russian president of course has been saying over the past couple of days, past couple of weeks, he
wants better relations with the united states. Thats something the russians are focussing on. He was speaking about we hear the Russian Troops cheering on Vladimir Putin after his speech, talking about how they want better relations, President Trump to come to russia. Of course, it is something that the russians think is very, very difficult in the current Political Climate in the u. S. And russia as well. We have a Cannon Salute going on after Vladimir Putin gave his speech. Following this story live, as youre looking at live images there in st. Petersburg, russia, russia showing off its military force. Within the country, people watching there. And the world watching as well. Thank you for the reporting. Want to turn to pakistan now. It looks more and more like imran khan will be the next prime minister. Election Officials Say his movement for Justice Party won
the most seats in wednesdays general election. Khan declared victory days ago, but he doesnt have an outright majority. He will need allies to form a coalition and that could be tricky. Khan is a National Hero from his cricket days, but many of his rivals say the vote was fixed. Thats in part because he is viewed as the militarys favorite candidate. Nick paton walsh has more on khan from islamabad. Reporter an historic sight, imran khan is close to becoming pakistans new prime minister. After a bitterly fought election that turned pakistans tightly controlled political order and casting the Sporting Icon as a sometimes antiamerican force for change. Born into a wealthy family, khan soon discovered his gift as a
fast bowler, leaving pakistan to its first and only Cricket World Cup victory in 1992. And khan to become a National Hero in a country where cricket is always worshipped and politicians often reviled. He retired from the sport, and after a spell as international playboy, he married his first wife, wealthy london socialist jumana khan. A family man, he raised money for charities, building a Cancer Hospital in his home city. But back in the turmoil, injustice of 90s pakistan, his political ambitions grew. Founding a new party, the Pakistan Movement for justice, his central pitch, to end corruption among the countrys ruling elite. Pakistani politics has few empires or rules, though, and is often marred by violence and coups. He was briefly arrested in 2007 for criticizing pervez musharraf. A month later, a political rival, former prime minister
benazir bhutto was assassinated on the campaign trail. Still, khan kept his sights on the premiership, by 2013, he could marshal huge crowds and win the vote in one pakistani province. He remained a distant third, however, nationwide. His conservatism grew as well. Religious, Panning American interference and favoring pakistans drastic and sometimes brutal blasphemy laws. This year, he wrote a populist wave, promising to fight for equality and get tough on terror. His vision, he says, is for a new pakistan. What that means, his critics dont know. Not clear what he wants to do. He wants to change the system. But nobody knows exactly what kind of change would he bring . Reporter his supporters think any change is good. Translator we are supporting imran khan because he promised to stop corruption in pakistan. We are hopeful we will have a Better Future and our children will have a Better Future. Translator this is the first time anyone treated us as human beings, we have rights too. We need medicine and education and other things. Reporter this is the first, hell need to form a stable government, handle a looming economic crisis and navigate the powerful army who decide the winners in pakistani politics and may still be unsure about this Charismatic Reformist outsider.

And it is only 5 contained so far. 38,000 people have been forced to abandon their homes.

She was jailed last year after she was filmed kicking and slapping an israeli soldier. The dramatic falling out between the u. S. President donald trump and his long time attorney Michael Cohen, it now appears irreversible. One of mr. Trumps lawyers Rudy Giuliani says the president s legal team and cohens legal team, they have stopped sharing information. That includes documents and witness interviews. Cnns tom foreman takes a closer look at the epic meltdown of a relationship that seemed rock solid just a short time ago. Reporter Donald Trumps defender. You guys are down, and it makes says who . Polls. Says who . Most of them, all of them . Reporter his trusted adviser. The words the media should be using to describe mr. Trump are generous, compassionate. Reporter and most of all his lawyer. My job is i protect mr. Trump. Thats what it is. If there is an issue that relates to mr. Trump, that is of concern to him, it is, of course, concern to me. Reporter Michael Cohen has been all that to donald trump and trump has returned the favor with an extremely rare close relationship. It was much more than an Attorney Client relationship. It was certainly it was something much deeper, almost father and son kind of thing. Donald trump knew that Michael Always had his back. Reporter the two native new yorkers joined forces about a dozen years ago when cohen bought a condo in a trump building. And by most accounts they bonded quickly over their shared values and sharp elbows. Soon, cohen was handling real estate deals, helping run some companies and even coordinating
transportation for trump. They say mr. Trumps pitfall, that i am his im his righthand man. Reporter when Trumps Campaign lit up why did Michael Cohen make you have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney, and youll have to ask michael. Reporter as the russia investigation tightened, cohen famously told vanity fair last year, im the guy who would take a bullet for the president. Then came april. Breaking news, the fbi told raided the offices of President Trumps long time attorney, Michael Cohen. Reporter the president erupted. They say an attack on our country in a true sense. Reporter while he shouted witchhunt, cohen has since gone another way, telling abc, i dont agree with those who demonize or vilify the fbi. I will not be a punching bag in anyones defense strategy. And now i put family and country first. For his part, President Trump who used to routinely and warmly talk about Michael Cohen, now seems to not be saying his name publicly at all. But alone, nice things about him. Tom foreman, cnn, washington. Lets talk about this now with steven irlinger, the chief diplomat correspondent for the New York Times live from brussels belgium, a pleasure to have you on the show as always. Well start with the president s attorney, Rudy Giuliani. Hes taking the lead now for President Trump in trying to control the message around Michael Cohen and any evidence that he might bring to bear. Compare giulianis words in the past about cohen to what he has to say now. Lets listen. He doesnt have any incriminating evidence about the president or himself. The man is an honest, honorable
lawyer, i expected Something Like this from cohen. Hes been lying all week. For two weeks. Lying for years. All right, so now giuliani questioning cohens credibility. It is a message of contradiction to say the least. Who is one to believe in this case more . Well, thats very hard to say. In some degree depends who is in most trouble. Theyre both in kind of warm water, one of them boiling, one of them is not yet. So well see what happens if giuliani gets into trouble too. Michael cohen, you know, was important for trump. Im not sure how important he actually was. He sort of took care of a lot of socalled dirty business. But he had his own business on the side. And this is, you know what we have two investigations going for us, one is by robert mueller, into the possibility of collusion between the trump
campaign and russia. But then we also have manhattan prosecutorial investigation into Michael Cohen and allegations of Business Fraud and malpractice. The problem is, this crosses lines. Trump always used to say, if the Mueller Investigation started looking into his private business, that was the big red line for trump. This isnt mueller exactly. This is the manhattan prosecutors following its own trail. So it is difficult moments for mr. Trump and the white house. Rudy giuliani is trying to defend him as best he can, thats what lawyers do. Theyll spin stories, you see better call saul, better call rudy, the same issue. Steven, you also talk about these Investigations Crossing lines. Lets talk more about that. We heard cohens claim that mr. Trump knew in advance about that meeting with russians, the
president responded on twitter, he said he didnt know about the meeting with his son, don jr. Involved, that he attended. But if cohens claim is true, and these Investigations Crossing, right, does this point to possible collusion . Well, it does. Thats why trump is so nervous about it. And, again, it is very hard to gauge. Michael cohen is in trouble, right . Michael cohen is trying to defend himself, and he was the sort of lawyer who knew how to pull butteons and Press Media Buttons and so does his lawyer, lani davis, who worked for on bill clinton. Theyre pressing every button they can, including social media, television, the press, to try to defend Michael Cohen. One of the things that gets cohen attention is this charge now. Is it true . I dont know. Well have to see. But it is certainly does put mr. Trump closer into the gun sights of a collusion investigation. Our assumption has sort of been while his son donald trump jr. Was involved in this meeting, it wasnt clear that donald trump himself was involved or engaged in the meeting itself. We heard various different accounts of what actually went on there. But there is no question donald trump jr. Was really interested in dirt on hillary clinton, that he made clear in emails that have gone public. But the president himself has so far not been touched by this. Steven irlinger with perspective today, live in brussels, belgium, thank you for your time. Thank you, george.

Turning now to london. One family there is blaming the death of their teenage son on an aggressive form of rap. It is called drill. Authorities are now coming under fire there for their efforts to try to ban the music. Reporter it is meant to intimidate. Rap about stabbing a rival gang member. This is drill music, a london subculture that Authorities Say fuels teen violence. The group you see here 00 proved the polices point, they sang about killing, then actually did it. Last summer wearing balaclavas,
they chased down and stabbed a man. His father says he was innocent, not a part of a gang. I lost a child over somebodys writing lyrics and foreshadowing it. Reporter struggling to confront an epidemic of knife crimes and murders, homicide surged by 44 in one year. Uk authorities have taken a controversial and drastic step. They banned the music. A london Court Ordered this group 1011 to stop making drill music. Emanuel was his middle name. Reporter anything is worth a try, says stanley. He blames drill for inspiring the school boys murder, just two streets away from here, their family home. I would like it to be controlled by the lyrics of what comes out of these young peoples mouth. Thats what i would love to see. What they do with the drill music is teasing one another, and putting threats on each other. Reporter videos by the convicted killers 00 and dozens of songs by other Drill Artists were taken off youtube at the request of the met police. But in a Basement Studio in west london, Drill Producer tells us the genre doesnt create gang life, it simply reflects it. The issue is so much more deeper than the music. It is just an easy way to and not spend any money. Reporter dont you think it glamorizes violence, p perpetua violence. It is proven that that lyric is 100 that it is he said he was going to do that and he did that, thats obviously a bad thing. Coming from where i come from, i try to encourage them to do
better and come out of that life and show them, like, forget the retaliation, like, just try and leave it. Reporter stanley also hopes for resolution, not revenge. He was my young son. Reporter as this father grieves, the country struggles to contain a culture of Gang Violence before it claims more innocent lives. I feel the spirit in this room. I feel the spirit so much in this room. The name is alive. The candles are alive. Hes alive. Reporter cnn, london. Just feel for that father, the loss of a beautiful child. Yes, certainly, certainly.

welcome back. We are getting more views of the blood moon Lunar Eclipse which millions of people saw around the world. We didnt get to see it in the u. S. One photographer captured thighs unique images in athens on friday, using statues from greek mythology. The moon was in total eclipse for 103 minutes, the longest of the century. Speaking of beauty, the Alaskan Wilderness is one of the last unspoiled places in the world, but that could change very soon as alaskas refuge is facing off with the Trump Administration. Bill weir takes us there. Reporter this is magnificent, wow. Way up at the tiptop of alaska, an airplane can feel like a time machine. See it there. A bunch of little babies running around. Reporter because the Arctic National wildlife refuge, known as anwar, is the kind of pure wilderness most of america paved over long ago. This is it. Were in the heart. Reporter welcome to one of the last true wild places on earth. It brims with life from oxen to bears, both grizzly and polar. Birds that migrate to the backyards of all 50 states. But the most common creature is the caribou. And not just a few, but hundreds of thousands, the Kind Of Herd Unseen since the Plains Buffalo were wiped away. And when flooring is here with his family, he cant help but wonder how long it will last. Do we need to keep them these
places untouched. Were changing the world everywhere so fast, why not leave a few places unspoiled . Reporter for almost 60 years that was the rational that protected anwar from this, these are the oil fields of prudo bay, that fill the famous pipeline and power countless lives. But, since there are billions of barrels elsewhere, Nature Lovers have long argued there is no need to drill here. And for decades that argument held until one day a friend of mine in the office said, is it true that you have anwar in the bill . I said, i dont know, who cares what is that . He said, reagan tried, every single president tried. I said, you got to be kidding, i love it now, and then we fought like hell to get anwar. Reporter it was opened to drilling thanks to lisa murkowski, who slipped in the provision knowing it would only need 51 instead of 60 votes to
pass. It is wrong for those from the outside looking in who have taken a nice trip into an area and said, this must be protected. Reporter conservationists point out there is already a huge glut of american oil. Oil companies are laying people off up here, because prices are so low. Oil companies have been laying people off, and, you know, for the first time in the last five years, i was seeing more oil Company Workers leaving the state of alaska and going to places like north dakota than coming into this state. Reporter but much like trumps efforts to revive dying coal mines, the rush to drill here seems more by politics than economics. Former speaker of the house tom delay said if we can drill in anwar, it will break the back of the environmental lobby. They havent drilled in anwar yet. We know the arctic regions are heating twice as fast as any
