indra petersons is following arthur's path for us in kill devil hills, north carolina. how's it looking down there? >> reporter: this is where we are supposed to see the biggest impact. the storm is still well south to us. you can still see the stars this morning. not the case further down the south where arthur strengthened to a category one hurricane. let's take a look now. 75-mile-per-hour winds. those are the steady winds out there, moving to the north at 9 miles per hour. so much now that we can see the outer bands starting to affect places like charleston, south carolina. where i'm standing, we are expecting to see the biggest impact tonight through tomorrow morning. mandatory, mandatory evacuations are already in place for the peak. what we are looking at are hatteras island.

highway 12 is going to be broke up like in irene. they wanted to evacuate those people. what are we looking at? the timing to pass tonight to tomorrow morning right here in this area. then it will quickly catch up with the jet stream south of new york city. places like boston, then quickly exit to the east. the latest tracks push it further to the west, so places like the cape could be impacted and go into halifax as it makes its way through saturday. the impact here, a lot of rainfall. we are talking potential from two to four inches of rain. three to five is possible. that's one side of the equation. you have the storm surge so add the water in. it's high tide during the time of potential land fall. that's a concern here. many remember what happened in 2011 with irene, it broke up the highway, highway 12 in two

places. they hope the bridge will hold this time. it's fresh on everyone's mind this morning. in the northeast yesterday, you had a rough ride, a lot of lightning out there. there's still a severe weather threat from d.c., new york city, philly, you have the threat for severe weather today. then the same cold front, very slow moving. you will feel the impacts once you see arthur come in. more rain in the northeast even though the actual system will be sliding south of the area. still a lot to get through. we are bracing ourselves with the storm headed here tonight. guys? >> it's so important people stay out of the water, really even after it passes because of the rip currents. that's a big threat in this storm. it doesn't look as bad as it is until people get in. we appreciate the update. >> before arthur gets close, parts of northeast saw severe weather last night. look at those pictures. the lightning lighting up the

skies in new york city, hitting the spire at one world trade center. albany, it stopped cars. emergency vehicles no match for the water. a tree toppled straight on a house 20 miles away. thousands of power outages reported. >> in maine, roads literally crumbling, trees snapped in half, water rushing through the streets there. >> the water came in pretty high. i mean the rain was going in every direction. lightning was hitting one right after the other. it was just steady. >> flash flood watches are in effect until tonight. similar damage in new hampshire and massachusetts. >> more of the same in eastern pennsylvania. cars left trying to navigate through water, feet of water, after quick bursts of rain led to flash flooding.

she had a notebook pad out, taking notes at different places. that alerts us right away. she became more hostile. then eventually, we said listen, it's probably better that you not come back. >> she is 19 years old, told the fbi agents she was going to marry a member of isis she met on the internet and be a nurse near the turkish border. khatallah pled not guilty. prosecutors say he conspired and participated in the attack that killed four americans. defense lawyers argue the defense department did not provide enough evidence. army soldiers who served with bergdahl haven't been contacted in the probe. two former sergeants say they have been waiting to speak with

investigators. he was captured by the taliban and held for five years until a controversial prison swap last month. >> they have been accused of -- u.s. investigation services secured a $190 million contract to operate the security system. it's required they accept the lowest bid unless the company had been suspended or barred. the congressional committee and homeland security talking about the illegal immigration crisis. governor rick perry will testify a day after inviting president obama to visit the border to see the crisis himself. they are plagued by a skyrocketing number of children crossing the u.s. without their parents. emotions coming to a head in california where protesters turned away buses of immigrant families. they were taken to a facility 80

miles away. >> do you feel your city has become a dumping ground? >> of course. i think anyone who's been pinpointed for the buses to come to is going to feel like it's a dumping ground. why us? why this small little town? >> the u.s. government detains and processes central americans who cross the border. they are typically released. they are given a month to report to immigration offices. never show up and they join the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants. john pierce retired. his office down played complaints about problems at v.a. hospitals and other facilities. the acting director is disappointed by the findings. he served as a medical inspector since 2004. general motors back in the spotlight. they will hold a second hearing

there you go, this is a live look back at north carolina where coastal towns are bracing for arthur. arthur is now a hurricane. minutes ago, officially gaining hurricane status. this is forcing residents along the coast to change their fourth of july plans. many celebrations are being moved up or postponed. look for riptides. just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. chad myers has more on what to look for and how to stay safe. >> reporter: what looks like a lovely beach day has unseen dangers when on shore wind is coming from a tropical storm or hurricane. that wind blows the water over the tops of sandbars that are

unseen just offshore. the water piles up here along the shore and it has to find a way out. that way out is a rip current. that rip current can happen anywhere along an east coast or west coast beach for that matter, even across the gulf of mexico. here are the sandbars. the water comes across the sandbars and feeds into the area where you are swimming, right through here. as the sandbar breaks, you are getting erosion here. the water wants to go out all of a sudden. that water goes out all at the same time called a rip current. because the water is piled up here, it has to go out. you don't want to be in this area when the rip current happens. you don't want to be anywhere here for that matter. if you do get caught in this, they say swim parallel to the coast. that's easy to say when they are not caught in a rip current. i have been caught in one and it

feels like you are going to die. it feels like you are going to be hauled across the ocean. that is how quickly you are torn across the beach. swim this way and get caught by the feeder currents coming in. that will bring you on shore. all your body wants to do is swim this way against this. you literally have to tell yourself, stop swimming. don't do it. you are going to wear yourself out. swim away from the current and gent over the sandbar and back to the beach. it's a dangerous situation setting up from north carolina down to florida today. it will be setting up north of that later tonight from new jersey to massachusetts friday as the storm moves further to the north. back to you. >> good warnings from chad myers. meanwhile, the violence in the middle east shows no signs of stopping.

rocket launchers. israeli officials say a response to 20 rockets fired into israel wednesday. all of this comes as the divide between israelis and palestinians deepens over a revenge killing of an israeli teen. we are live in jerusalem this morning. good morning to you. tell us about the situation on the ground there right now. >> reporter: well, at the moment, it seems that some of the clashes have petered out. they were going well into the early morning hours. they expanded beyond the neighborhood where the palestinian teenager was abducted. that's where it started yesterday morning and spread to a few other neighborhoods here in jerusalem. fortunately, this morning seems quieter. but, as you pointed out, there was also air strikes in gaza overnight, at least 15 and also rockets coming from gaza hitting

southern israel, one hitting a child care facility. they were in a safe room and nobody was injured. scary, nonetheless. we still have today to see whether or not it settles, whether things calm down. there's a lot of anger tension on the streets. >> the father of that palestinian teenager who was killed, recently spoke out on local television. what did he say? >> reporter: he spoke mostly about the fact he wants to bury his son. the son has been identified. he's 17 years old. but the circumstances of what happened, the police are still investigating. they have not identified susp t suspects even though there's video of him being forced into a car. what his father said is he's waiting for his son's body. an autopsy is currently under way. as soon as that's finished, the

body will be delivered to the family and they hope to have a funeral this afternoon or tomorrow morning. >> israeli officials including benjamin netanyahu condemning that killing there. appreciate the report. thank you. gun control advocates are vowing to fight on after new jersey governor chris christie vetoed it. he called it reform in name only. a petition of 55,000 signatures urging him to sign a bill an hour before the veto. >> target is taking a stance on guns in their stores requesting customers not bring firearms into any target stores. the ceo saying the guns are at odds with their family friending shopping and work experience. this move is not a first. it follows a similar request from starbucks and chipotle.

concerned militant groups, al qaeda affiliates, specifically in yemen and syria are actively developing technologies, explosive devices that would evade current airport screening technologies. that's obviously something of a major concern. the big concern according to security officials is militant groups, once they have perfected these devices would hide them on foreign fighters, people who have been in syria with the rebel groups there and may carry western passports potentially causing enormous damage. that's what they say the main threat is. again, they are not specifying, neither the administrations or the united states in britain are specifying what measures are going to be taken. but, again, they are saying they are hoping to keep disruption to normal passengers to a minimum. >> was this prompted by a threat or are these changes just to

ensure broader security based on the intelligence they have been gathering? >> reporter: apparently, it is a credible threat coming to us from u.s. officials. homeland security officials and the united states saying there's a threat, not going into detail of what the threat is. it goes into increased security restrictions in place in airports since 9/11. we have had a whole host of plots of attempted attacks attempting to be carried out. none of them have been successful, but it's a long going process of evaluating security needs. >> thank you matthew. developing this morning, conspiracy charges against a woman who wanted to join isis. shannon conley was arrested in april in a denver airport. she struck suspicion at a colorado church last year.

first emerged during this massive operation where the vast majority of security forces abandoned their position in the north. that said, the u.s. is concerned about advances isis is making toward the baghdad airport from the northwest. we traveled out to that front line that was about 15 miles away from the airport itself. interestingly, poppy, it is not being secured. the front line is not under control of the iraqi security forces but rather a shia militia. why? because they have battle experience when it comes to warfare. the vast majority of members were fighting u.s. troops during america's occupation of iraq. the vast majority of them were fighting isis and syria. they are the troops that the iraqi government is deploying

providing artillery support. relying on this force to protect and defend the perimeter of the capitol. >> al maliki is trying to calm the sectarian and promising amnesty for those who fought the government unless they killed iraqi forces. is that making a difference on the ground or rhetoric that won't be followed through on? >> reporter: it's not making a difference that we have seen just yet. one also needs to remember that this is a prime minister who historically made the sunni population a lot of promises and failed to uphold a single one. but, at the same time, we are seeing some of the sunni tribes ever so slightly beginning to turn against isis because of the way the terrorist organization is carrying out these mass

executions, trying to implement the strict interpretation of the law. some of the tribal leaders we have been speaking to believe at this stage the al maliki government is a bigger threat to the country than isis is. they are willing to turn on isis and suspect they will have to at some point, but they want to see the government of unity formed. that is a process that is currently under way. the prime minister is under a lot of pressure not to nominate himself for a third term. we have to wait and see how politics play out. they are historically messy. >> appreciate the update. live from baghdad. >> let's look at what's coming up on "new day." kate bolduan is joining us. >> we are watching hurricane arthur as you are. the first hurricane of the season and it is early. the east coast is bracing for heavy rains and could be a dangerous fourth of july.

we are live on the ground in north carolina where mandatory evacuations are under way in parts of the barrier islands. we have everything you need to know on that front. plus, officials are beefing up security on flights headed into the united states, screening changes should be going into effect in coming days at select airports in europe and the mideast. terrorists are building bombs that can get past airport security measures. should we be worried? what do you need to know? >> thanks for that. hurricane arthur, it's now a hurricane, spinning up the coast, packing dangerous winds and waves. what should you do if you are caught in the storm? we'll tell you after the break. narrator: these are the skater kid: whoa narrator: that got torture tested by teenagers and cried out for help. from the surprised designers. who came to the rescue with a brilliant fix

look back at north carolina where coastal towns are bracing for hurricane arthur. residents all along the coast being told to reconsider their plans for fourth of july. many celebrations moved up or postponed. before and after the storm, be sure to look out for riptides. just because you can't see them doesn't mean they are not there or dangerous. here is chad myers with more on what to look out for. >> reporter: what looks like a lovely beach day to most people has unseen dangers when you have
