we begin. with this, our with the powerful geomagnetic storm happening right now, the storm has weakened to level four after peaking at the highest level five of short time ago, it's the most powerful storm of its kind in more than 20 years and it's causing the northern and southern lights to dazzle he places are rarely, if ever see them. >> and have a look, this was the sky over nashville, tennessee in the southern us earlier. the time-lapse video captured the vivid hughes swirling and dancing above music city further south. this was the view for parts of florida. remarkable site for the balmy state north of the tropics the northern lights were also spotted across much of europe and asia on friday night, this was the scene in germany. now in southern, in the southern hemisphere, the or or spotted over new zealand as well as argentina. and we'll bring you more images from around the world throughout the hour. i will storm will likely continue can you through the weekend and potentially impact

communications, satellites and power grids elon musk's satellite internet provider, starlink says it experienced degraded service earlier, but musk says everything's holding up. now the geomagnetic storm started when the sun erupted with a series of solar flares. and what's known as coronal mass ejections, which launched particles directly at the earth. so what exactly is a coronal mass ejection? the solar phenomenon that's causing the storm will cnn's chad myers explains so what is it? well, it's just a ball of plasma that's being shot at the earth. these things happen all the time, but rarely do we have them that goes straight at the earth. think about how big 30 does. i couldn't go that way, could go to the back, could go depends on where the sunspot is. well, we know this is coming toward the earth because of what we call the halo effect. when you see the cloud mass kind of come out of this. this is the sun right here. this is the sun being blocked by a disk. but when you see the coronal mass ejection

come this way, it's like looking at somebody blowing smoke ring at you, you know, it's coming and you know, it's on its way. that's the same idea, same a smoke ring that we're seeing. so yes, we have more than one still coming. so overnight a big ones still landing on the earth's atmosphere. and we are still seeing that really bright, colorful cloud all the way around the globe. typically, the only place you're not seeing it is where it's sunny, where the sun is already come up and you can't see it, but it was very, very special particular somewhere around, i would say maybe one z, one zulu time greenwich mean time somewhere around 9:00, not quite 9:00 on the east coast of the us. >> but it was still light. we couldn't see it in north america, but another one and then another one and another one. this is still going to be going for quite some time this is what the solar wind looks like. i want you to think of it like a like a the seismograph in when you're looking in california and you see the earth shake. well, the sun wasn't shaking at all. the solar wind was doing just fine,

being nice and flat. but then all of a sudden around two, 30 or two 40 this afternoon, the earth began to shake, literally and so did the solar wind. and it came in very, very quickly, get this number around your brain. 1.6 million miles per hour. that's how fast this solar wind is coming. aurora is seen farther south with a g5 big number. this is five out of five. this is as big as we get. >> there are still levels of five but g5 we're already up their power outages are likely and also satellite disruptions are also likely. so yes, it's certainly possible. so where the red coronas and then the most common are the green, this will be c all the time across parts of canada, but the less common are the purples and the reds. we are seeing a lot of them tonight now to reading england and matthew owens, a professor of space physics at the nursery of reading. thank you so much for being here with us, so we're in the midst of some pretty phenomenal space weather right now. how exciting

is what you're witnessing? right now i mean for space physicist, it's really exciting. >> you've got a lot of bleary-eyed solar physicists this morning from stay up watching the spacecraft data and then remembering to look up at the sky as well. yeah, this is, what we live for, right? >> all right, so take us through the physics of this coronal mass ejections. cme is what are they exactly so these are really big eruptions from the son of material. >> so this is stuff it's really, moving. we're talking 1 million miles an hour. but it's a long way from the sun. so they take two or three days to get here. we actually put a forecast two-and-a-half days before they arrived, we were pretty confident that this was going to be some spacing yeah these forecasts are important

because it allows us to prepare, as you say, this is happening 93 million miles away. >> the impact here, however, it could feel it here on the earth earth, we saw in the report there in 2003, there were some effects and of course 35 years ago we were hit by a cme in santos about the size of 36 earths. it caused lots of chaos, particularly in quebec, which saw on your power, i just as i was actually there at the time. so how vulnerable are we to something like that happening again, do you think it's quite difficult to really know all right we haven't had any major outages from this event but i'm hearing a few anecdotal reports from localized power issues particularly in scandinavia we'll find out more as time goes on but it's very difficult to assess just how vulnerable you are because there's a whole

whole range of factors that conflate together. demand on the grid, what time of day these things hit, things like that. >> and it's not just the power grid, but satellites as well that they're vulnerable. and these days compared to, let's say 2003, we there are more satellites out there. we rely on them more in terms of our gps and communications and so on. but we are also better prepared because of what we've experienced it says that is that fair i think that's right and even let's take an example of styling they lost 48 satellites two years ago. >> but that was because i know it was a very small cme, but it happened during launch. and so they now do that launching a different way. so they're not quite as vulnerable yeah. >> now, this solar flares and so on. i mean, it happens fairly regularly, but this one obviously really big out. what are we hoping to learn from

this one right now well, actually these individuals cmes. >> well, no, actually that big by i started standards. but there were just a lot of them and they all pile together in space in space was a mess yesterday and it's not piling together and not just that continual pumping out more and more events that the discourse this to reach superstorm level so this is. quite different to previous storms in a way so there's gonna be a lot for solar physicists to come pick over the next few months. i think it's a good distinction to draw, not like the big, huge one we saw that affected quebec, but rather lots of the ones that could happen aggregate effect. >> now, you're using special equipment and the scientists like you special equipment to see this. but those of us can also see what's going on now with the sun. is that right? if

you, if you still have your solar eclipse glasses, king round from last month that's right. i mean, the sunspot has been throwing these cmes out is huge. it's about 15:15. earths across. so if you've got your eclipse goggles and you've still got some clear skies. you can see this with the naked eye quite easily well, listen, it's just fascinating to see what's happening now and to discuss all the ramifications really appreciate your expertise, professor matthew owens with the university of reading. thank you so much. >> thanks for having me now, as i mentioned, canada is no stranger to the potential disruptions and dangerous from geovanny storms like this one, cnn's paula newton is just outside the capital of ottawa well, as you might have guessed, the northern lights are more of a common occurrence in canada and the storms, the solar storms do not even have to be as severe as the one we are seeing now, the issue

though is here normally the kinds of colors that you're seeing in the sky or greenish or a milky green kind of colors some people report seeing some blue. this time with these spectacular colors. many people across canada who do not have cloud cover, we'll be looking towards the sky and continue to look through the sky because of those spectacular colors that we are not used to seeing. the other thing people are keeping an eye on. of course, is what? whether or not there will be any disruptions through anything technical, whether it's the electrical grid or anything else in 1989 in the province of quebec, there was quite a widespread power outage that scientists still study today. but back then, they did not have the satellite technology that they have now, they have i've reinforced those infrastructure grids, but also they have more sensors, more satellite technology. they know a little bit more about what is going to be happening with these solar storms and have a bit more of a prediction

in terms of what will happen so far, no disruptions throughout canada except people will be disrupted in their sleep as they continue to look skyward, looking for those spectacular colors, pollinate and cnn don robin, ontario all right, we'll continue to keep an eye on this solar storm. but after the break, we'll look at how prosecutors are setting the stage for donald trump's fixer to testify in the hush money trial and the idf has issued new evacuation orders should rafah, not the latest in a live report just ahead here on cnn newsroom, please stay with us you're calling some people find there's at an early age others later in life no matter when you find it. instead of yourself, lucky because it becomes your everything are calling was to build trucks. and that's why truck or what we do we put our everything in

and pink and purple americans as far south as florida, we're able to see the lights. so have a look at this video out of germany where many people got a spectator i can show across europe new developments in gaza right now, the israeli military is ordering the immediate evacuation of several neighborhoods in northern gaza. now this is in addition to the evacuation it's an order that came a short time ago for several more neighborhoods in eastern rafah. the idf posted on social media that evacuees from rafah should immediately had to the expanded humanitarian area in al-mawasi and us comes as israel's security cabinet has approved an expansion of the area of operation in rafah. >> the un says what's already happening in rafah has displaced more than 100,000 palestinians may say conditions at those humanitarian areas aren't adequate. some locations have no running

water. there's no sewage system or electricity, and people are being forced to live in tents and makeshift shelters on the side of the road i'd never heard you might have there is no water. there's no food, no one is asking a bonus. no one is looking for us. as you can see, that is our situation. we can you have god looking for us meanwhile, a new state department report says, is quote reasonable to assess that israeli forces have used us weapons in gaza in ways inconsistent with international humanitarian law. >> the report stopped short of saying that israel violated international law, but it is sharply critical of the toll in gaza. a part of the report says, while israel has the knowledge, experience, and tools to implement best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations the results on the ground, including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions as to whether the idf is using them effectively in all cases us law

prevents washington from providing weapons to security forces credibly accused of gross human human rights violations or scott clean is live in stumbled with more on the situation. scott. so let's start with a rafah, the idf ordering immediate evacuations of more neighborhoods. what more are we learning hey get the idf, insist it has the weapons to go ahead with this operation in rafah and that's exactly what they seem to be doing. >> this comes just a day after the israeli security cabinet approved an expansion of the physical operating area where they're approved to carry out operations. this essentially we just makes it easier for the three member of war cabinet to make decisions quicker on the fly about that approved area. it doesn't necessarily mean that things are going to be happening in italy, but perhaps there is that indication coming from the idf in this new ordering of people to evacuate from not only those neighborhoods in northern gaza

that you mentioned, but also five other neighborhoods are camp areas in southern gaza, in the eastern rafah area, telling them to move to the al mawasi humanitarian zone as they're calling it along the coast. but as you rightly pointed out, there are plenty of concerns about the humanitarian conditions there with people just putting up tents along the side of the road with very little infrastructure there there are also some people in gaza who are finding it difficult to move, finding it difficult to find a ride. they're finding it difficult to to move. others are simply unwilling to move. and of course, the humanitarian there continues to deteriorate the humanitarian situation. there continues to tier urate. and the un secretary general antonio guterres says that a full-scale invasion of rafah will only make a very bad situation worse. listen at all, when hundred thousand palestinians are moving north from rafah. humanitarian partners have no tents or food stores left in sauce gaza the

massive ground attack in rafah would lead to an epic humanitarian disaster and pulled the plug on our efforts to support people as famine looms international humanitarian law is an equivocal civilians must be protected and in terms of aid, kim, there is this conflicting back-and-forth between the israelis and the americans who say that there has some there has been some aid get into southern gaza over the last few days, but the palestinian side and the world food program also says that that is simply not the case. and look, it is badly needed. there's only one functioning bakery left there and some of the people there have told cnn that the situation is, and their words beyond bad yeah, beyond bird exactly. and then scott, in the meantime, as i mentioned, the biden ministration is report on israel's use of american

weapons. so take us through what they said and the reaction sure and, there's been a lot of anticipation for this report came because though it doesn't specifically mandate any specific change in us policy is surely it could be the catalyst for some kind of a change at the very least one senior state department official told cnn that it's been a useful tool for the biden administration to get more information from the israelis and insist on a change in their behavior. >> so it does not explicitly say that us weapons have been used by israeli in violation of international law that says that there's not enough information that the us has or hasn't been able to gather to make that definitive conclusion but it does say that you can reasonably assess that us weapons have been used in violation of international law. it goes on to say that the volume of reported of incidents reported raises serious concerns as that israelis have the knowledge they have the experience to minimize civilian

casualties, but that the reason there's also on the ground had been very different and the number of civilian casualties have been huge suggesting that perhaps these weapons are not being used effectively. now, remember that the whole reason that this report was commissioned in the first time, but in the first place by president biden was because of pressure coming from democratic lawmakers and there may still welby lawmakers who said this report maybe got it wrong. it did not find that israel withheld humanitarian aid to gaza, which would have been a violation of us law. and despite what i just told you about what this report said it also found that israeli assurance it is that us weapons would be used in accordance with international law. were in fact credible and reliable. kim. >> all right. i appreciate those updates. scott mclean is stumble. thanks so much. prosecutors in dollars on

trump's hush money trial are closing in on wrapping up their case, but not before some bombshell testimony to kick off their final week cnn's kara scannell has the latest from new york prosecutors star witness michael cohen is expected to testify on monday in former president donald trump's hush money trial. cohen trump's former attorney and fixer. is that the crux of the criminal case against him? prosecutors say cohen paid off adult-film star stormy daniel's on trump's behalf to kill her story 40 of an alleged affair before the 2016 election, trump denies the affair. >> somebody pays and then paying so it was a legal expense that somebody happened to be meeting. i didn't do the bookkeeping. i didn't even know about this is what the case is about. >> cohen told his political beat down podcast co-host on thursday that he looks forward to testifying sooner or this thing starts, the sun to this thing finishes after a defense

request, judge juan merchan told prosecutors he wants cohen to keep quiet about the case. before he takes the stand, but he can't issue a gag order on a witness. something trump express frustration about azi left court there is no gag order to michael what did you actually did was amazing actually? why does it amazing? everybody can say whatever they want. they can say whatever they want. i'm not allowed to say anything about anybody it's a disgrace. >> prosecutors called witnesses to the stand to help lay the groundwork for cohen's upcoming testimony in at&t analysts introduced cohen's phone records and back on the stand, trump's former white house aide, madeleine westerhout, testified about trump's reaction to the release of daniel story in 2018, westerhout testified trump was upset by it and her understanding was that it would be hurtful to his family she later clarified trump did not specifically speak about his family in that conversation.

trump's lawyers suggested he made the $130,000 hush money payoffs to daniel's in order to protect his family meanwhile, prosecutors argue he did it to influence the 2016 election, which was two weeks away, and came on the heels of the access hollywood tape damaging his campaign. >> when you're starting let you do it. you can do anything but trump's lawyer, susan necheles, assess westerhout about the process of trump signing checks. >> westerhout said trump would sign and then while multitasking, doing things like talking on the phone or meeting with people, she described fedex thing, the sign checks back to the trump organization. prosecutors used westerhout to show the chain of command of checks, like the one sent to cohen to reimburse him for the hush money cohen testified before congress about the allegations in 2019. >> donald trump wrote you a check out of his personal account while he was serving as president of the united states of america to reimburse you for hush money payments? >> yes, mr. chairman, another

witness, a paralegal epidemic district attorney's office, read one of trump's tweets about the monthly payments to cohen which trump called a retainer. trump said, mr. cohen and attorney received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign, and having nothing to do with the campaign, the tweet came around the time his former lawyer, rudy giuliani, told fox news host sean hannity the trump reimbursed cohen for the hush money that cohen paid for it out of his own pocket, having something to do with paying some stormy daniels woman 130,000. i mean, which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal that money was not campaign money. they funneled the true law firm funnel through the president, repaid it. >> this capta week were the jury saw the documents that prosecutors say were falsified in this case, the invoices, the general ledger entries, and the check next, they also heard from the woman stormy daniels, that's at the center of the hush money payment next week, it will be michael cohen's squaring off against the man he

said he would once take a bow well, it for prosecutors say they could rest their case by the end of the week. kara scannell, cnn, new york and you didn't watch cnn special coverage of the trump hush money trial resumes monday at 9:00 a.m. in new york, 2:00 p.m. in london present shuttle candidates, youngest son, barron is no longer going to be a delegate at the republican national convention this summer. >> the office of former first lady melania trump says, barron was honored, put he regretfully declines due to prior commitments barron had been selected by florida republicans to serve as an at-large michelle to at the july convention, other trump children were asked to be delegates as well presidential candidate robert f kennedy jr. is walking back controversial comments. he made opposing government limits to abortions. he had said he supports a woman's right to an abortion even up to the point of birth his remarks came during a podcast interview published

wednesday so in other words, keeping it as is with roe versus wade having been overturned and leaving it up to the states to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion? no, i believe it's the states. >> right. i would say completely it's up to you should leave it to the woman. >> we shouldn't have government involved, even if it's full term even if it's full term now in an interview with that same podcaster, his vice presidential pick seemed surprised by a statement, issues i spoke to bobby about this. >> and at the end of the day he says, yes, this is a woman's choice period. and i said even up until birth yes was his answer. and so that is not bobby's position as i understand it my understanding with bobby's position is that every abortion is a tragedy? yes. is it loss of life?

>> my understanding is that he absolutely believes in the limits on on abortion and we've talked about this social media posts late friday, kennedy said, he believes, quote, abortion should be legal up until a certain number of weeks. >> adding he believes abortion should be restricted, quote, in the final month that's a pregnancy it's the strongest geomagnetic storm in more than two decades when we come back, what you can expect throughout the weekend is less historic phenomenon makes its way across our planet plus a professor of sweets physics explains behind these amazing views and why it's so rare. that's next on cnn, please stay with the russians were trying to spy on us. we were spying on them and this hadi frank this is a the secret was secrets and spies and nuclear game premier

physicians, you jewel welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. >> i'm kimberly, who were this is cnn newsroom. when i get back to one of our top stories were falling the soured the geomagnetic storm happening around the world has weakened to level for the second highest category, storm was raging for hours at the extreme level of five at that time was the most powerful solar storm in more than 20 years. now i will look, this was the scene here in atlanta, georgia in the southern us, short time ago, much of the midwest and even northern california's still have high chances of seeing the aurora before the sunrises now skies over the uk and ireland lit up in vivid colors earlier on friday night, parts of europe and asia are likely to have another chance to view the lights tonight. governments and electrical companies are monitoring the situation for potential disruption to

communication satellites and power grids the light phenomenon was caused by skews of solar eruptions that hurled particles directly at the earth. now cnn's kristin fisher explains how this historic phenomenon can bring about possible disruptions. and breathtaking views throughout the weekend it's called a coronal mass ejection. and those highly charged particles have been barreling towards earth at 500 miles per second ever since the first particles began striking earth's magnetic field, friday afternoon, just think of gazillions of protons coming toward earth at the same time there's also electrons in there. there's also magnetic fields. and when they hit the earth's magnetic field, or any other planet's magnetic field they interact with that field and knows changes generate currents, which can damage power grids, satellites, anything that has an electrical conductor involved, the national oceanic i can atmospheric administration is describing this storm as an

extraordinary and very rare event. one that also has them a little concerned. >> the biggest threats are to satellites into global power grids. >> know it says it notified critical infrastructure operators and that mitigation efforts have been taken but it's still warning of possible widespread voltage control problems. >> the last time we had a big power outage due to a geomagnetic storm was in the 80s have we fix things since then? we're going to find out satellites will also be tested most can go into a safe mode during a solar storm, but just two years ago, spacex lost 40 of its starlink internet satellites during a geomagnetic storm that wasn't as strong as this one. >> and then there's the threat to people in space. >> this is jamestown actual 12 astronauts. we've got a solar storm coming in and it's a hot one. >> apple tvs for all mankind envisioned astronauts on the moon running for cover to dodge the incoming radiation during a strong solar storm. in reality,

it's the astronauts currently onboard the international space station that may need to shelter in more protected portions of the orbiting outpost slice radiation is a known phenomenon that is dangerous to biology, whether it's during a geomagnetic storm, but just the general tryst into outer space. but despite the potential danger, a solar storm also rewards us with some of the most spectacular auroras. and this time over a wider area extending his far south as alabama. >> the beauty of dice coronal mass ejection is that we get to have an astronomical event basically come to us from space. that's visible to the naked eye. we all just recently experienced this with the total solar eclipse that happened in april so now see you the northern lights that is another extraordinary astronomical event kristin fisher cnn washington all right. i want to go live now to gothenburg, sweden and matt robinson and astronomer and photographer

with a travel company aurora zone. thank you so much for being here with us. we're just showing one of the pictures that you took here it's just absolutely spectacular to see all the amazing colors. now, you are in the general aurora zone anyway, in sweden, so you get to see these all the time, but this, this phenomenon, the record setting numbers that we're seeing, how exciting is this for you? >> it's hugely exciting for me because like you say, i've seen it quite often. but there's a lot of people and a lot of my friends and family. you haven't seen it so the same it through my images. so now, because now that they're able just to walk outside their door and look up and say it it's wonderful. >> and now we can share the experience together yeah, that's exactly right. >> i mean it's really captivating the world. the fact that we hear even down south and georgia can see it. i want to pull up a picture or

producers daughter took this picture just outside of atlanta which i mean, he just blows my mind that you'd be able to see the northern lights in the south here from a scientific point of view. i mean it just how exceptional is what we're seeing right now. et is pretty much a once in a generational thing haven, sweden and gothenburg, we probably see it maybe once a year twice a year, maybe if we're lucky, it the rovers on in the north of sweden, finland, norway in the north of canada, you can see it pretty much every day, every are the debt. >> but to see it in georgia as far south as it's been seen in the south of florida. that's once in 2030 years it really doesn't pay off so explain to us why this is happening, why does a geomagnetic storm make it so spectacular now for such a wide swath of the world it's just a lined up perfectly

really. a lot of places have got clear skies which really helps. and the uk and sweden have had that, which is also quite rare but it was a huge storm that was unleashed a few days ago from the sun, which was then followed up by a few others. they've caught up to the original storm and it's kind of all hit us up once so that's why it's so big. that's why it's so intense because it's all came at the same time and it's quite dense and it's fast speed on this story. so it's just everything is aligned perfectly four most of the planet to be able to see it now this is a pretty basic question, but as we're looking at the pictures that are just so spectacular, so layered with so many colors, what does create the different colors that we're seeing? >> it's the molecules in the earth's atmosphere and the height of them. so when these charged particles fill that down through, our magnetic fields, in the comfort of our paul's they'll then interact

with molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in our atmosphere. so on the top level of our atmosphere, it's predominantly but the oxygen. so the charge part of those will hit those molecules, fill them full of energy, then they'll release a photon of light, which you'll respond to the red and the green. and then further down you get more interactions which will be the nitrogen. and then you get the blues and the purples and you want to get the blues and purples. >> once a strong storm are very dense it's and fast speeds storm. >> so that's why we're getting a lot more colors because there's a lot more particles coming in from the sun because of these storms. >> fascinating so let's look towards the future here. >> was this the peak of it in terms of watching or if you didn't see it tonight doesn't mean you've missed out completely i've just been checking because i want to say it again. >> i always want to see it again my advice would be nor would be if you didn't see it last night, go out tonight it
