Police Say American Scientist Died Of Asphyxiation
BERMAN: New details this morning in the case of the American scientist found dead inside a former Nazi bunker on the Greek island of Crete. Police are now revealing that she died of asphyxiation. CNN's Arwa Damon live in Crete outside the cave where the scientist was found. Arwa, this case is stunning.</s>ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, it's actually quite eerie inside. It's a labyrinth of passageways. But just to give you an idea what's out here, you still see the evidence that the forensics teams did come through. And what we're now learning from the chief of police is that her body was found quite by chance because the search area wasn't focused here at all. They thought that she'd gone for a run or perhaps a swim and then something had happened to her. But two locals, by chance, happened to have come. They were exploring this fortified tunnel system that was dug out and used by the Nazis. Up there you have the -- one of the entrances -- and that's when they happened to find her. We went inside and found the location that matches what the chief of police told us where they found Suzanne's body. And there is a hole above it up on the hillside. They say the body was dumped down into this tunnel system. And they say that it also had small stab wounds on it but that they weren't lethal. The case of death was asphyxiation. And they have now launched a massive homicide investigation and they do say that they have some solid leads. But this entire island is reeling because of this horrific act of violence. This sort of thing just doesn't happen here and everyone is shocked and trying to come to terms with it, Bianna.</s>GOLODRYGA: Yes, the story is becoming more and more disturbing as we're hearing about other details coming in. Our thoughts, obviously, are with her and her family -- her two children, in particular. Arwa, you'll be covering this story for us as we get more details. Thank you. Meantime, it's now time for "CNN Business." The debt crisis is looming and new numbers from the Treasury Department aren't making the situation better. Chief business correspondent Christine Romans is in our Business Center with the numbers. So, Christine, the market's doing great but does anyone care about deficits anymore?</s>CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT, ANCHOR, "EARLY START": Yes, well, let's look at these eye-popping budget deficit numbers. Look, lawmakers are running out of time to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and frankly, Wall Street doesn't seem to be paying any attention at all. The budget deficit is now $741.1 billion, jumping 23 percent in the first nine months of the fiscal year. Federal spending also hit a record for the same period. Now, the government is spending so much more money than it brings in and the debt ceiling is -- that deadline is fast approaching, too. This week, the Bipartisan Policy Center said the U.S. government could default on its debt in early September. The U.S. reached that $22 trillion debt limit -- that limit on borrowing -- all the way back in March. Since then, the Treasury Department's been using what it calls "extraordinary measures" to pay the bills -- moving the money around. And the calendar is a minefield as lawmakers head to the August recess. Lawmakers must work out a budget deal by the fall. Another government shutdown or deep spending cuts are failing to raise that debt limit. All these are risks for the economy. A default, of course, would risk the position of U.S. debt as the global safe haven investment. That could rattle markets. But for now, markets are not paying any attention. They are enjoying record highs. And the president taking all the credit, of course. I want to show you stocks since his inauguration -- a big rally over the past 2 1/2 years here. Very looking at the short term, certainly, in markets -- not at the long term which those deficits, guys.</s>BERMAN: That's right. These hot rising stock markets not going to make those deficits go away -- not even close. And it's exactly what people predicted over the last two years.</s>ROMANS: You're supposed to fix the roof when the sun is shining, right? The sun is shining in the economy. You should be fixing these bigger problems.</s>GOLODRYGA: Fed chairman Powell, this week, said that there will, at one point, be consequences -- perhaps higher interest rates -- but we're not there yet.</s>ROMANS: We're not there yet.</s>BERMAN: All right. At least 35 people injured after severe and sudden turbulence sent passengers on an Air Canada flight flying into the ceiling.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It just seemed that the plane just sank and then flew up. The lady in front of us -- I don't think she had her seatbelt on -- she hit the ceiling.</s>GOLODRYGA: Oh.</s>BERMAN: The flight was on its way to Sydney, Australia from Vancouver. It was forced to make an emergency landing in Hawaii. This video from inside the plane shows the aftermath of the turbulence with the oxygen masks hanging. An Air Canada spokeswoman told several media outlets that all passengers taken to the hospital were treated and released.</s>GOLODRYGA: Now, there are worse places to make an emergency landing, right, than Hawaii. But I think that the takeaway here is always wear your seatbelt regardless --</s>BERMAN: Totally, yes.</s>GOLODRYGA: -- of how long you are on the flight. Well, we have new video this morning of an incredible -- you've been talking about this -- an incredible Coast Guard operation to stop drug traffickers.</s>COAST GUARDSMAN: Alto tu barco! Alto tu barco!</s>GOLODRYGA: "Stop your boat," he's yelling. The boat is actually one of the infamously exclusive narco-submarines built by cartels to haul huge amounts of drugs. Three guardsmen slip onto the sub, pound on the hatch, and a suspected trafficker pops out with his hands up. Listen to that. Officials said the operation netted $569 million worth of cocaine and marijuana -- more than $230 million on this boat alone.</s>BERMAN: That's really the image there that's crazy.</s>GOLODRYGA: Yes.</s>BERMAN: That Coast Guard guy just jumping on, pounding on the hatch. They are doing their job. You don't often see the Coast Guard video --</s>GOLODRYGA: Yes, it looks like a commando.</s>BERMAN: -- like this. It's really amazing. And look at those subs. These are military-grade subs smuggling drugs. This is what the Coast Guard is up against -- wow.</s>GOLODRYGA: Right -- some video.</s>BERMAN: Good on them. All right. This weekend, immigration raids are set to begin. We're talking about Sunday. We're going to speak to a key border state Republican about whether he supports the operation, next.</s>GOLODRYGA: Millions of people along the Gulf Coast are bracing for potentially unprecedented flooding. We're also standing by for a new update -- this is very important -- a new one from the National Weather Center. We'll bring you the new watches and warnings as soon as we get them.
