[Howell:] Welcome back to "CNN Newsroom." The world is watching and pressure surely growing around the case of a teenage wife facing execution in Sudan.
[Allen:] Amnesty International has sent her country Sudan, 150,000 letters demanding the government release Noura Hussein from her death sentenced. CNN's Melissa Bell tells us about what is behind one woman campaign for Noura.
[Melissa Bell, Cnn Correspondent:] This is all the world has seen of her, but the story of Noura Hussein, sentenced to death in Sudan for killing the husband, who raped her, has already inspired a global campaign partly thanks to this girl. Zayoub Azinnih, is just 16 years old and still in school near her home [inaudible] in northwestern France. From the ground floor flat she shows with her Nigerian mother, two sisters and brother, she decided to fight for Noura's life.
[Zaynab Azinnih, Fighting For Noura Hussein:] I don't know her. I never spoke to her. I don't know who she is. But she is my sister, she is not my sister like my sister from my mother, but she is my sister in humanity. I can't let her die for defending herself against the man who raped her. This always happens and we can't just close our eyes and be like, well, it happens so we cannot do nothing about. No, we are part of the problem. Because we're letting this happen every time. And it's awful, because we know it, but we don't act.
[Bell:] Zaynab did act, creating a petition online, a petition that has already collected more than 700,000 signatures. Zaynab said she hopes to reach a million, because she believes that Noura's story has touched a nerve.
[Azinnih:] the truth about made people angry is that she is going to get killed for using self-defense. That she didn't murder him. If he hadn't come to her to rape her again, would she have killed him?
[Bell:] It's a good point. I mean in a sense, Noura's story is the story of so many women around the world every day, Zaynab. The difference is she killed him.
[Azinnih:] Yes. There is no difference in the reports from doing this. They are going to punish her for defending herself. So expected her to be quiet and to be like being rape every day.
[Bell:] Zaynab's campaign has been run from her bedroom and she believes that Noura can be saved.
[Azinnih:] I would like to meet her. She is say hero. And yes, she defended herself. She is not scared.
[Bell:] You admire her and you have given her a voice that she didn't have. Was that the point?
[Azinnih:] Yes and she is representing all the women who had been opposed in their life repressed. There is all the other Noura's.
[Bell:] Melissa Bell, CNN.
[Allen:] It's a patriarchal country, but everyone hoping that the justice system will have mercy on this young woman.
[Howell:] A lot of pressure on this case.
[Allen:] There are fears, a deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, can soon become an even bigger threat the outbreak has now spread from rural areas to a city of more than one million.
[Howell:] The world health organization has raised the national public health risk of this outbreak to very high, but the global risk remains low. CNN's David McKenzie has details.
[David Mckenzie, Cnn Correspondent:] Officials are calling it a new phase of the deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Now the most worrying thing is this confirmed case of Ebola in an urban center in Mbandaka, a city of more than one million people which is close to the Congo River. The main [inaudible], as well as two neighboring countries that could further complicate the efforts of the World Health Organization and others to stamp out this outbreak which has seen suspected deaths already. It was announced in early May. Now, the next step is getting this experimental vaccine out to the field operations of the health teams. More than 4,000 doses, are in the capital, they are setting up a cold bridge. An air bridge of cold storage all the way to the epicenter where they will, administrator the doses to the contacts of those suspected cases and the contacts of those contacts. A fast roll out of that is the key in stopping this outbreak, of course the World Health Organization wants to avoid the catastrophic scenes we saw [inaudible] in 2014 in West Africa, where more an 11,000 people were killed by Ebola. David McKenzie, CNN Johannesburg.
[Howell:] All right David, thank you. Yet another fissure, the 21st fissure has opened up around Hawaii's Kilauea's volcano. On Thursday a big eruption shot a smoke and ash nine kilometers that is some five miles into the air. The area has been inundated by lava and toxic gas for a couple of weeks.
[Allen:] The rain kept the ash from going very far on Thursday but authorities are not taking chance. They have given people thousands of masks so they don't inhale particles as you can see that raining down.
[Howell:] The power of nature. Our meteorologist Derek Van Dam has been following this. Derek?
[Allen:] Hi, Derek. It would be a while.
[Derek Van Dam, Cnn Meteorologist:] It has. It has, you know, the masks that they handed out protect from inhaling the particles, but they don't protect from inhaling the sulfur dioxide which is a noxious and poisonous gas. Well, that is one of the danger here as well. Lots to talk about with this latest eruption. It was captured by the Hawaiian volcano observation unit and what an incredible sight, this volcanic ash shooting 30,000 feet roughly nine kilometers into the sky. A very big hazard for the aviation industry. We will talk about that in just one moment, but this eruption was so large that it was actually captured by one of the local weather radars. You can see that little blurb on the screen, that shading of red is actually the volcanic ash plume sending into the sky. Now, what volcanologists are starting to notice are seeing similarities to a 1924 eruption, a very dangerous and large eruption with the same volcano, the Kilauea volcano, but look at the size of the boulder that was hurled into the sky? In fact, one mile into the sky. This was an eight-ton boulder. Now, volcanologists are seeing similarities between this events, because we are noticing that the lava is starting to recede into the magma chamber. Lava is just magma but above ground. And the issues that volcanologist are seeing is that when this lava recedes into the magma chamber, rocks also fall into that magma chamber and it creates a kind of a blocking mechanism and you can imagine the amounts of pressure that are starting to build up within this particular magma chamber and it starts to erupt very, very quickly and eventually could blow its top. But the big question is, is this the big event that occurred on Thursday? Well, it may not be, so, volcanologists are warning once again that this could be a concern for an even larger eruption going forward. Now we know that this plume shot 30,000 feet into the sky, but look at what it can do in the aviation industry. It's very, very, very dangerous, because 30,000 feet or nine kilometers as roughly of a height of a jet airliner. And when it starts to take some of that volcanic ash, which is vapor, basically vaporize and pulverized rock and sand particles, it can actually melt it in the turbine and eventually cooling it and hardened it on the turbine and preventing airflow from coming through the actual engine causing failure of that engine. And that is going to obviously cause for concern as people try to take to the skies in and around that region. The forecast going forward calls for dry weather through the weekend which is good news, but there is some rain at the end of the weekend. So, lots to talk about here. Natalie, George, I will send it back to you in the meantime.
[Allen:] All right. Scary, but fascinating for the most part as you think.
[Howell:] I agree.
[Allen:] Thank you, Derek.
[Howell:] Thanks, Derek.
[Allen:] All right. We are about, let us see, less than 24 hours from that what was it?
[Howell:] A big wedding.
[Allen:] Yes. The cake and things like that. All right. So, coming up is here, yes, the cake. How Meghan and Harry are putting their own stamp on the culinary side of their wedding. Coming up.
