00:00:02,366 --> 00:00:04,866
JOHN YANG: In today's 
other news, the death 
toll from the line of 
monster storms that spawned

2
00:00:04,866 --> 00:00:09,866
tornadoes, wildfires and dust 
storms rose to 35 people today. 
The fierce weather marched

3
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:15,066
across the central and 
southern United States, 
leaving a trail of destruction.

4
00:00:15,066 --> 00:00:20,033
Communities in Missouri and 
Alabama woke up to widespread 
damage. Flattened homes,

5
00:00:20,033 --> 00:00:25,033
crushed cars and uprooted 
trees. In Wayne County, 
Missouri, Dakota Henderson 
helped save his aunt.

6
00:00:26,966 --> 00:00:29,500
DAKOTA HENDERSON, Wayne County, 
Missouri: Only room standing 
left of this house, she

7
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:34,500
was trapped in it. We got 
her out the window, got 
her up to the earth home 
that's up the road. We

8
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,533
were helping other people. 
We found a few bodies 
that was out in the field. 
Few deceased people.

9
00:00:39,533 --> 00:00:42,300
JOHN YANG: The storm system is 
still potentially dangerous.

10
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,066
Severe weather is forecast 
for the upper Ohio Valley,

11
00:00:45,066 --> 00:00:50,033
mid-Atlantic and Southeast. 
The system won't clear the 
east coast until later tonight.

12
00:00:52,366 --> 00:00:55,600
In North Macedonia, a 
massive fire that tore 
through a nightclub 
killed at least 59 people

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,500
and injured 155 more. 
It happened early this 
morning in the city of 
Kochani. The blaze appeared

14
00:01:03,733 --> 00:01:07,933
to have been touched up 
by sparkling pyrotechnics 
on stage that were part 
of a band's performance.

15
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:14,033
Throughout the day today, 
people gathered outside 
hospitals to await news 
of loved ones. Most of the

16
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:19,033
concertgoers were young people. 
So far, arrest warrants have 
been issued for four people.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,500
The U.S. and rebel Houthis 
in Yemen both vowed to 
escalate fighting. Yesterday,

18
00:01:27,233 --> 00:01:29,233
U.S. forces launched 
airstrikes on the 
Iranian-backed group in an

19
00:01:29,233 --> 00:01:33,066
effort to stop them 
from targeting military 
and commercial ships.

20
00:01:33,066 --> 00:01:36,100
Secretary of State Marco Rubio 
said the Houthis have directly

21
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:41,100
attacked the U.S. Navy 
174 times. The Houthi run 
health ministry claimed the

22
00:01:43,066 --> 00:01:46,766
U.S. strikes killed 53 
people and said women and 
children were among the dead

23
00:01:46,766 --> 00:01:51,733
and injured. Iran today denied 
it has any part in the Houthis 
attacks in the Red Sea.

24
00:01:53,866 --> 00:01:57,500
And two NASA astronauts on the 
International Space Station got 
a welcome visit today. Butch

25
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,633
Wilmore and Suni Williams 
opened the hatch and 
greeted their replacements

26
00:02:01,633 --> 00:02:06,333
with hugs and handshakes. The 
four newcomers are from the 
United States, Japan and Russia.

27
00:02:08,433 --> 00:02:11,600
They'll relieve Wilmore and 
Williams, who have been stuck 
in space since last June. Their

28
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:16,900
Boeing Starliner capsule had so 
many problems that NASA insisted 
it return to Earth empty.

29
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,900
Still to come on PBS News 
Weekend, how cutbacks 
at the FAA could affect

30
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,900
aviation safety and a global 
warming milestone that 
has scientists worried.
