The active tropics are evidence of the high point of hurricane season in the Atlantic.

SHE WAS NOT FOUND FOR 10 HOURS. >> SO HEARTBREAKING. >>> WE ARE AT THE PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON AND WHEN WE CHECK IN ON THE TROPICS, IT CERTAINLY SUPPORTS THE CASE. METEOROLOGIST ELIZABETH GARDNER HAS A TROPICAL UPDATE. >> IT IS BUSY RIGHT NOW BUT YESTERDAY WAS ALL ABOUT MINDY. MINDY WAS FEEDING THE MOISTURE IN AND OF COURSE THE INTERACTIVE COLD FRONT BROADUS FLOODING YESTERDAY. THIS FRONT DID ITS JOB AND KICKED THE REMNANTS OF MINDY TO THE ATLANTIC. WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT LARRY WHICH IS PRETTY INTERESTING. LARRY WILL DO SOMETHING THAT VERY FEW TROPICAL STORMS DO. FIRST WE HAVE A 70% CHANCE THAT THIS SYSTEM HERE ALONG THE EAST COAST OF MEXICO WILL DEVELOP AND A 70% CHANCE THAT THIS ONE MOVING OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA WILL DEVELOP ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC. THEY COULD GET THE NEXT NAME WHICH IS NICHOLAS. MAYBE THE OTHER WILL GET THE NEXT NAME WHICH IS ODETTE. LET'S LOOK AT LARRY, LARRY IS A HUGE STORM IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF SPACE IT IS TAKING UP. ON THE WIND THAT THE HURRICANE FORCE WIND EXTENDS ALMOST 90 MILES OUT FROM THE CENTER OF THE STORM, THIS IS A BIG STORM AND PRODUCE THE LOT OF WAVE ACTION ALONG THE COAST. WE DEFTLY HAVE HIGH RIP CURRENT DANGER BUT WE'VE HAD THIS FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. WE WILL SEE THAT AGAIN TOMORROW AND POSSIBLY ON SUNDAY. IF YOU'RE HEADED TO THE BEACHES BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE RIP CURRENT DANGER. THIS IS A LOOK AT THE STORM THAT HAS WIND AT 80 MILES PER HOUR AND IT IS LIKELY TO STAY FAIRLY STRONG ABOUT THIS STRENGTH AS A MAKES LANDFALL IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND CANADA. AFTER THAT IS A TROPICAL STORM AND THEN IT HEADS TOWARDS GREENLAND. YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO IT WHEN IT MOVES INTO GREENLAND? IT IS GOING TO HAVE THE PRECIPITATION TURNED TO SNOW. ALMOST 2 FEET OF SNOW FOR THE EAST COAST OF GREENLAND. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT TROPICAL SYSTEMS RARELY DO THAT WILL GO IN THE RECORD BOOKS AND ENDED UP CAUSING A COUPLE FEET OF SNOW. THAT'S AMAZING PICKED SEPTEMBER 10th STATISTICALLY IS THE TIME THAT WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HURRICANE SEASON. WE TEND TO SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY POTENTIALLY THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER. AFTER THAT IT TENDS TO DROP OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME TO GO ON THIS SEASON. 13 NAME STORM SO FAR. 5 HER KIDS AND 3 ARE MAJOR HURRICANES. THAT IS GRACE, IDA AND LARRY. NICHOLAS AND ODETTE COULD FORM THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS. THAT PUTS US CLOSE TO THE END OF THE LIST WHAT HAPPENS? THIS YEAR THE WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION WHICH PUTS OUT THE LIST WILL

Iran executed three tortured protesters after a four-month pause, sparking new anti-government protests across the country.

Outside a jail near Tehran. Families of prisoners gathered chant do not hang them. Their pleas come as Iran resumes the execution of protesters after a months long hiatus. The brutal practice restarted this month with the hanging of three young men accused of killing three members of the security forces during anti government protests in November. The news sparked more demonstrations but activists and human rights groups say the allegations against the trio are baseless. Majid Kazmi was forced to watch video of interrogators torturing his brother and he was subject to at least 15 mock executions according to Amnesty International. In an audio obtained by the organization, he maintained his innocence. CNN cannot independently verify the clip. They kept beating me and ordering me to say this weapon is mine. He says I told them I would say whatever they wanted. Just please leave my family alone before his execution. The family of 36 year old Salem Mir Hashami, a karate coach from Esfahan tried to draw attention to his plight. This picture of his father spread on social media. My son is innocent. The sign reads but to no avail. Activists shared this heartbreaking video. They say Ismar Hashemi's dad hugging his picture as he lay by his son's grave. Iran has not responded to CNN'S request for comment. The total number of demonstrators known to have been executed since last year now stands at seven. According to CNN reporting and more executions are likely eminent. Over 100 protesters have been sentenced to death or are facing charges punishable by death. Says this human rights activist when authorities fear protests or right after protest, the number of executions go up. The aim is create fear in the society to prevent more protests. Do you expect that the number of executions is going to rise even more this year. It is rising already unless the international community takes a strong move against these executions. We might be facing a very large number of executions in the coming months. Rights groups say that Mohammad Roat Lo a 22 year old protester with a mental health issue could be one of the next victims of Iran's execution. Machine activists are ringing the alarm. They say yet another Iranian faces death just for daring to speak out some Abdo Aziz CNN London.

An annual Memorial Day tradition in Kansas City welcomed a very special guest of honor. Ralph Yarl and his family joined the event to thank the traumatic brain injury community for their support after Yarl was shot in the head last month when he knocked on the wrong door.

Being thrust into a world previously unknown can be challenging for both survivors and their loved ones. Please know you're not alone. And that's exactly why Ralph Yarl and his family were here today to thank this traumatic brain injury community for their support since Ralph was shot in the head last month. So it takes a community, it takes the family, it takes the support group, it takes all of that for Ralph and his family walking that mile and a half today wasn't the hard part. We do 2.5 to 3 miles. So this was a little bit of easy for us compared to her. So it was facing another hurdle being in a social setting with a lot of attention. It's like buddy, you don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. So this is definitely something that I want for you to be sure that you want to do. And he did say I want to do it and this community was ready to welcome him in with open arms including Tyler Moss, a Kansas City police officer also shot in the head in 2020. Very tight knit community, we all struggle with maybe not similar things but kind of at the same time for him and many survivors of traumatic brain injuries. It's this support that keeps them going. Sometimes you go underneath the cracks, you know, when you have a traumatic brain injury and you know, people don't understand that but everyone in this situation here kind of relates to you. I think family.

We begin with breaking news out of Davenport, Iowa, at this partially collapsed apartment building. It came down last night, and already the search for survivors has ended. But now there's new outrage and agony from a family who said their loved one is still missing. It all comes as we're finding out that the safety of the building has been an on-going concern. 

The freaking building just collapsed tonight. Family members of Lisa Brooks are desperate for answers after a partial building collapse in Davenport Iowa, I told her I love her and that was all that was the last time I talked to her, Antoine Rabbit Smith sr says they still can't reach his aunt who he says lived in the building. I just wanted some kind of information like tell me something, anything like if you have found her and she's in a morgue somewhere, tell me something. Instead of just sitting here playing the waiting game parts of the historic 84 unit apartment building crashing down Sunday evening fire crews rescuing eight people from the rubble, escorting a dozen others safely out of the building. There was a lot of screams, a lot of cries. A lot of people saying help. I'm hoping and praying that the screams that I heard when the building came down was not people inside of one person trapped for hours. Now in the hospital, as officials worry about what's left. The building is structurally unsound. It is posing a risk to responders and we are actively working for the best course of action. For the building. The mayor says crews spent hours searching the wreckage overnight and have now stopped looking for survivors. Rescue is over and now it's about recovery, recovery. And what are we doing with the building? And as of now, there's no one under there that you know about that. We know about how concerned are you that that may change? There's always a concern. What's next? Lisa Brooks family has called local hospitals and police and insists their loved one is still unaccounted for. She's not anywhere, nowhere to be found. The cause of the collapse is under investigation. But officials acknowledge residents have been filing complaints about the building for years. They say they're still working to contact every resident, any type of complaint is investigated, checked out and inspected and we did that a lot with this one.

Search for survivors ends less than one day after apartment building collapses in Iowa

We're getting some shocking new video tonight from aboard a Carnival cruise ship that sailed through a violent storm off the South Carolina coast this weekend. It got battered by ferocious winds and waves, leaving passengers anxious and outraged.

Tonight. A swirling storm of outrage in the fallout of a nightmare voyage, panicked passengers seasick, scared and hunkering through hurricane force winds as the hull of the Carnival sunshine took a 12 hour severe storm beating. I have never been so scared. Passengers on board say most of the five day round trip, Bahama journey was a breeze until Friday afternoon as the ship headed back to port in South Carolina passenger Sharon tore says it felt like the captain cruised directly into the eye of a major developing store. There's no way around this one. We went directly into that storm and sailed through it and at seven pm, the sea turned violent. It sounded like the ship split in two. We were flying blind with our lives in someone else's hands. According to weather data, the ship observed 80 mile an hour wind gust and the threat of 17 ft swells. Tron says the worst part, almost no communication from the captain or crew. Nearly a dozen terrifying hours. The ship finally docking in Charleston, Saturday night, some nine hours after it was scheduled. All we wanted was, hey, it's gonna be ok. I know it's rough. And we didn't get any of that carnival saying in a statement, we appreciate the patience and understanding of all of our guests. Carnival Sunshine is now sailing on its next cruise. I think they just wanted to get back to port and get the next people loaded back on dry land. A tempest of anger just starting to churn Steve Patterson NBC News.
