00:00 Good day, I'm William Thio and this is PTV News Now.
00:17 As Kilauea volcano roars back to life, scientists went to the crater to collect lava samples.
00:24 This will help give experts insight into the volcano, which is one of the world's most
00:30 active.
00:31 The U.S. Geological Survey said the eruption was preceded by a period of strong seismicity
00:37 and rapid uplift of the summit.
00:39 The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency cleared that the eruption does not pose a lava threat
00:46 to communities, but for those exposed, volcanic particles and gases may cause them breathing
00:52 problems.
00:53 Kilauea's aviation color code was elevated from orange to red as the agency evaluates
01:00 the eruption and its volcano alert from watch to warning.
01:04 Meanwhile, with the help of Yoda, a Belgian Malinois and a heat-sensing and tracing aircraft
01:11 from above, a convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison two weeks ago was
01:17 finally captured.
01:19 The convicted killer Danilo Calvatcante escaped on August 31st, prompting authorities to conduct
01:27 a massive manhunt.
01:29 The heat-seeking technology helped cops find Calvatcante and surrounded him.
01:34 When he tried to crawl away, the dogs subdued him and bit him twice, neutralizing him.
01:40 He is now under the custody of a Pennsylvania state prison.
01:44 The inmate was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend in a brutal stabbing in 2021.
