  • At least 290 people were killed and 500 or more were injured when the coordinated attacks took place. 7

  • Most of them happened in the same timeframe between 8 45 and 9 30 On Sunday morning, suicide bombers detonated their explosives at three churches across the country at around the same time, or explosions took place at three luxury hotels in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo. 8

  • And later on Sunday, there was a blast at a hotel near a zoo and a final explosion happened in a private house as police were rating it in connection with the previous attacks. 9

  • Officials don't know yet why Christians were targeted. 10

  • Easter is their most important holiday. 11

  • The Christians are a religious minority in Sri Lanka. 12

  • They account for about seven and 1/2 percent of the population. 13

  • Buddhists make up 70%. 14

  • Hindus make up 12 and 1/2 percent, and Muslims make up a little under 10%. 15

  • The Sri Lankan government says it's concerned that an international terrorist group is behind the assaults when we produce this show, no organization had admitted carrying them out. 16

  • But a Sri Lankan government spokesman says there were warnings days before the attacks that something was going to happen, and the government admitted yesterday that it failed to act on those warnings. 17

  • This SriLankan Capitals on edge After a series of deadly terror attacks that ripped across parts of this country, this church, ST Anthony Shrine, one of three Catholic Church, is targeted on Easter Sunday. 18

  • You can still see shattered glass here and the clock tower frozen at roughly the time when a suicide bomber attacked during Easter Sunday prayers. 19

  • And in the 24 hours since the authorities are not taking any chances. 20

  • Look, just down this road here, you can see the remains of a suspicious vehicle that an explosive disposal team detonated on Monday afternoon, sending real fear through an already traumatized community. 21

  • This has been a series of deadly attacks, hundreds of people killed and wounded. 22

  • There has been criticism that the security forces missed A warning from a foreign intelligence agency about threats of suicide attacks against Catholic Church is prompting one government minister to accuse some of these security chiefs of incompetence and negligence, and also prompting a government spokesperson to publish Clea apologize for letting this potentially crucial bit of intelligence slipped through the authorities fingers. 23

  • In the meantime, there has been no official claim of responsibility, and some of the victims are still fighting for their lives in the intensive care units of Sri Lankan hospital. 24

  • Some leading US lawmakers spent Monday reviewing the Muller report. 25

  • We mentioned last week the results of a special investigation led by former FBI director Robert Mueller. 26

  • One main focus of the report concerned Russia. 28

  • Did the campaign of U. 29

  • S President Donald Trump illegally coordinate with the other country to win the election? 30

  • The report said no that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russian government. 31

  • Another part of the report concerned the U. 32

  • S leaders actions did President Trump illegally interfere with the Mueller investigation and commit the crime of obstruction of justice. 33

  • The report was more vague on that. 34

  • Investigators said they couldn't conclude for sure that the president commited a crime, but that they also couldn't conclude for sure that he didn't. 35

  • It suggested that Congress could make its own investigation into that. 36

  • How politicians reacted to all this mainly depended on what political party there in President Trump and other Republicans say the report vindicates the president, that he didn't illegally cooperate with Russia and that it's time to move on. 37

  • Democrats have said they need to see the full Mueller report without redactions and that Congress now needs to investigate whether the president committed obstruction of justice. 38

  • We don't know yet what the next steps will be in all this, but we'll keep you updated. 39

  • UH, 10 seconds. 40

  • Which of these U. 41

  • S cities is located the farthest West San Diego, California, Los Angeles, California, San Francisco, California or Seattle. 42

  • Washington, 122.4 degrees west, just a tiny bit farther than Seattle is San Francisco, California, known as the city by the Bay. 43

  • San Francisco attracts tens of millions of people every year. 44

  • That makes tourism the city's biggest industry. 45

  • That industry is facing a number of challenges. 46

  • Homelessness is rampant throughout San Francisco, so his drug use and the presence of drug materials many of the people who've traveled there in recent years have complained of feeling unsafe. 47

  • Still, tourism brings billions of dollars into the city Every year. 48

  • Would it be like to try to escape from Alcatraz? 50

  • And some of the braver driver's test? 51

  • Their skills on Lombard Street, a stretch of it, has a 27 degree grade with sharp curves because paving it straight up and down in 1922 would have made it too steep for the cars of that era to Clune, Lombard Street has another problem. 52

  • Today, though the sheer number of people who want to visit it from Drone view seven It's easy to see why the Crooked street attracts huge crowds of tourists. 53

  • But from the ground, residents have a different perspective. 54

  • I moved here two years ago, and it was nothing like this then, Greg Brundage says. 55

  • Something has to be done to deal with the massive growth of tourists especially over the past 10 years. 56

  • Selfies, that in itself is an issue. 57

  • You have to be acutely aware of how it impacts our residents. 58

  • Assemblyman Filleting Solution. 59

  • This is how it works. 61

  • Pick a date and time to visit when your number is called. 63

  • A license plate reader would verify it's your time and then enjoy the ride. 64

  • City has tried to fix the problem in the past with new signs and traffic control, but they say nothing's worked. 65

  • They have been unable to properly manage the crowds with the rapid growth of visitors, if you come this far and what's $5? 66

  • I think this is a touristic, so we should not pay for a like way here to appreciate it and enjoy your time here. 68

  • This probably isn't what most people think of when we say robots pulling a truck. 69

  • But if you remember the four legged creature like Boston Dynamics robots and you picture 10 of them marching in unison while dragging something heavy like some robotic sled dog army. 70

  • Then maybe you did have this in mind. 71

  • Not everyone who saw this YouTube video was comfortable with it. 72

  • Some call the fear of robots technophobia. 73

  • Some say it's robo phobia for anyone uneasy with the site. 74

  • It's certainly instills some kind of phobia, says it's robot Dogs will be available soon, and wherever they're trucked in, whether they're transferred, road trained, semi autonomously, wheeled somewhere Or if they have to be big rigged up to something in tow, they could make a hall as long as nobody's dog by the idea on Carla's ooze over and out for CNN, yeah.
