THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

[08:00:36] KRISTIE LU STOUT, HOST: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong, and welcome to News Stream.

Now, reports says North Korea's attempt to launch a medium range missile fails, an embarrassing blow on a day celebrated by the regime.

A baby pulled alive from the rubble in Japan after a deadly earthquake strikes the southern island of Kyushu.

And Microsoft files a lawsuit against the U.S. government saying it should not be forced to keep quiet when the government searches its servers

for customer data.

In what appears to be an embarrassing blow to North Korean ambitions, officials in South Korea and the U.S. say that Pyongyang's latest missile

launch has failed.

Earlier this week, an American official said there were signs the Communist regime was preparing to test a mobile ballistic missile and such

a missile could reach U.S. territory in the Pacific.

Now, the attempted launch it comes on a significant day in North Korea. April 15th is known as the day of the sun, the birthday of founder

Kim Il-Sung. It is a public holiday when citizens are encouraged to celebrate and to pay respect.

Each year the leader King Jong-un makes a customary visit to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun. Now, the building in Pyongyang houses the tomb

of the late leader.

Now, let's take you live to North Korea. Our Will Ripley joins us now live in Pyongyang. And Will, has there been any reaction there to reports

of the failed missile launch?

WILL RIPLEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: There has been no official reaction, no reports in state media, and frankly very few people on the streets of

Pyongyang even know that there was an attempted missile launch because the government has not acknowledged it.

These reports are coming out of the United States and South Korea. And since the vast majority of North Koreans don't have access to the

internet or anything other than state media. State media hasn't reported this at all.

Today is just simply another day, a day of celebration of the Day of the Sun, North Korea's most important holiday.

We talked to a lot of people at the celebrations today who while they didn't know about this particular missile launch, they say they're very

proud of their government for a string of recent military and scientific achievements that have been touted by the regime here.

Of course, beginning in January with that purported H-bomb tests and then just one month later North Korea claimed to launch a satellite into

space, using a long-range rocket. And even when I asked North Koreans if they think it is worth it given the fact that there are now heightened

international sanctions as a result of this, every single person who I spoke to answered yes. They say it is their country's duty to defend

itself, Kristie, against what they say is the imminent threat of invasion from the United States. And that is something we hear over

and over again on the ground here.

LU STOUT: And, Will, although the test failed, according to reports from South Korean officials and American officials, just how determined is

Kim Jong-un to further develop North Korea's missile capability?

RIPLEY: I think he has proven that despite pressure from the international

community to tone down this military development, it does continue. And all you have to do is look back to 2012, again, North Korea claimed it was

a peaceful satellite launch attempt in April 2012. That was a high profile failure. North Korea actually did acknowledge that failure. And then just

eight months later in December, they launched an Earth observation satellite into a shaky Earth orbit.

So, just the fact that this particular mobile missile launch didn't succeed it certainly doesn't mean that North Korea is giving up. In fact,

observers of this country, and even officials who we're talking to on the ground here say that North Korea will continue to work to perfect this

technology. This would be really unprecedented. The first time, if it's successful, for North Korea to be

able to launch mid range, potentially some day long range missiles using these mobile launching pads that are much more difficult for spy satellites

to track.

It really would be a game changer both here and the Asia-Pacific region but also for the United States, because some of the missiles that

North Korea has put on display experts say could potentially reach portions of the United States in addition to U.S. military bases in the region and

of course all of South Korea and Japan as well right in the firing line potentially.

[08:05:00] LU STOUT: And while you're reporting there inside North Korea, Will, have you seen any propaganda touting North Korea's military

prowess, its military capabilities?

RIPLEY: That propaganda is a part of daily life as you walk around North Korea. Just today we were shooting at a flower show to celebrate the

founder's birthday, Day of the Sun. And amongst the flowers were model rockets, pictures of the rocket that launched the Earth observation

satellite into space.

At the science and technology center, the centerpiece of that building is a huge model rocket. And even though North Koreans say that these

rockets serve a peaceful purpose, of course, those long range rocket systems can also be used for military purposes as well. And even North

Korean scientists acknowledge that they claim they have the technology to miniaturize nuclear warheads and place them on these devices and launch

them.

And people on the ground here say that despite sanctions, the investments are worth it because they claim they feel safer in their own

country.

And I have to tell you, Kristie, at least for now, it doesn't seem as if sanctions are having any noticeable affect on construction, levels of

traffic, or the overall state of well-being for the citizens in Pyongyang. They appear to be well dressed. Many of them now have smartphones. They

are driving around in taxis. And I counted at least six construction projects just as we were driving in, as part of the 70-day campaign leading

up to the major Worker's Party congress happening next month. That's when the supreme leader Kim Jong-un is expected to really consolidate his power.

Regime observers think that this attempted mobile missile launch would have been just of yet another show of force this year, a message not only

to the outside world but also to the North Korean people that the supreme leader is in control and perhaps about to get even more powerful in the

coming weeks.

LU STOUT: Interesting observations from there in the North Korean . Will Ripley reporting live for us from Pongyang. Thank you, Will.

Now, a wonder of a devastation devastation after Thursday's earthquake in Japan. Reuters reports an an 8-month-old girl has been pulled alive

from the rubble of a home. It was a rescue that took some six hours.

Now, the baby girl was found under a pillar and remarkably is unharmed.

Now, at least nine people were killed in the 6.2 magnitude earthquake, hundreds more injured, more than 40,000 people were forced from their

homes.

Incredible video there of the rescue. Now, dozens of aftershocks have already been recorded and more are expected in the days ahead.

Our meteorologist Chad Myers is monitoring the situation. He joins me now. And Chad, how many more aftershocks are going to reach the region?

CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Hundreds. There's just nothing else I can say about that.

Here's how the numbers shape up, with a 6.2, and you take it and you multiply that down by one factor to 5.2, you have one of those. We have

already had that. There was a 6.0. This is 5.2 or greater.

And then 4.2 or greater, you take that and multiply that by 10, multiply that by 10, multiply that by 10. So there may be thousands of

aftershocks, but many won't be felt because they will be smaller than two.

We had such a big shake here. I know it only says 6.2 on that scale, but there was a violent shake of the ground there because it was a very

shallow earthquake.

If you put this earthquake down 200 kilometers, this doesn't do nearly the damage that it did. This was about 10 kilometers down, and so the

damage is significant here. Somewhere over a billion dollars U.S. in magnitude here when you talk about the damage, and also on the scale with

that 6.2, we're talking about between 10 and 100 fatalities here as we take a

look at this.

It is all part of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire has 450 volcanoes and earthquakes of course because this is where the plates slide.

It is because the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller, the Atlantic Ocean is getting bigger, and because these plates smash into each other and eventually either go up or down or slide back and forth, that's why we have

so many earthquakes, so many volcanoes, that's where all the volcanoes are across the globe. Those were the most significant.

So here's Japan. There's Tokyo. And yes, there have been small earthquakes in the past week around Tokyo, but not related to this big one

here in Kyushu.

This is the big one here, Kumamoto. There's also a very active volcano here, Oso. I was concerned a little bit yesterday that if the

earthquakes got closer to Mount Oso, that could mean something different was going on here rather than just a strike, slip, fall. But right now we

do think that this was simply an earthquake, not the volcano getting more awake.

The problem with this, Kristie, was the fact that Kumamoto and the earthquake was right there, that was the big one, and then all of these

other aftershocks were in a very populated area. And that's why so many people were injured and so many things here have gone wrong in the

aftershocks, because the buildings cracked in the first shock, then a 6.2 aftershock made some of those buildings come down, Kristie.

[08:10:15] LU STOUT: All right, Chad Myers, many thanks indeed for that explaining why this area is so prone to aftershocks, seismic activity,

and as you point out volcanic activity as well. Thank you, Chad.

MYERS: You're welcome.

LU STOUT: Now, Nigeria's security forces, they are facing growing pressure to find the more than 200 school girls who were abducted by Boko

Haram two years ago. Now security chiefs are expected to brief the senate next week on the rescue effort. And this follows CNN reporting on a

proof of life video that has provided new hope at least some of the girls may still be alive.

Now, CNN senior international correspondent Nima Elbagir along with CNN's Stephanie Busari and Sebastian Knoppes (ph) brings us this report.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NIMA ELBAGIR, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: It's the glimmer of home parents have been waiting for. A video showing 15 of the Chibok

girls, sent to negotiators by their captors as proof of life.

CNN obtained the video from a person close to the negotiations to get the girls released, and we shared it with parents of the missing girls. But

these young women in the video are only a handful of those girls abducted now two years ago.

April 14th, 2014, 276 school girls taken in the night by Boko Haram gunmen. A few dozen escaped. But since then, there's been only silence.

Despite a global campaign to bring back our girls, two years later, they remain missing.

Facing heavy criticism, Nigeria's government remains under pressure to bring them home.

KASHIM SHETTIMA, BORNO STATE GOVERNOR: I We believe the girls are alive, but probably based on security analysis, there might not be, you

cannot get them in one group. They might have been dispersed into several cells.

ELBAGIR: in Nigeria's capital, supporters and families of the missing march to mark the solemn anniversary. Among the demonstrators, Esther

Yakubu, her daughter Giuliana was one of those kidnapped. Another news clue showed her our story. She broke down in tears saying she recognized the

girls.

ESTHER YAKUBU, MOTHER OF ABDUCTED GIRL IN NIGERIA: I saw the girls. I recognized some of them because we are in the same area with them. I

recognize they are the Chibok girls.

ELBAGIR: It's the first sighting of the girls in nearly two years, and after an agonizing wait, families of the missing hope the video is not yet

another false lead.

SHETTIMA: We believe that these girls will be found and very soon too and be returned to their families.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: That was Nima Elbagir reporting and CNN's Stephanie Busari produced that report. She has been working on this story two years now.

And she joins us now live from Nigerian capital of Abuja. And Stephanie, thank you for your reporting. Thank you for joining us. And because of

that video you obtained, we have this revived momentum to find the missing girls. But do you think it's going to translate into effective action?

STEPHANIE BUSARI, CNN PRODUCER: Well, what we are hearing on the ground from

the senators is that that video has kind of propelled them to really put pressure on the security services over here, to find out what exactly is

being done to rescue these girls and what exactly is being done to negotiate, because this video, you'll remember, was produced by Boko Haram

to show the government that the girls are indeed alive and open up negotiations with them.

So, I spoke earlier to Senator Shai Husani (ph), who sponsored this motion to bring the security chiefs back to the senate next week. And he

said the government has been so focused on military action against Boko Haram, that the situation, this issue of the girls is kind of falling a

little bit off the agenda. But this video has given a new dimension and given a new renewed impetus to get -- to put

pressure on the security chiefs to do something.

LU STOUT: Yeah. There's more pressure on the security chief. We're getting reaction from the

Nigerian government because of that proof of life video that you obtained. But do you feel taht the international community has got to be involved,

has got to be more involved in this effort to find hundreds of missing school girls and also to counter the threat from Boko Haram?

BUSARI: Yes, of course. I think talks are going on behind the scenes with the U.S. government and the Nigerian government to kind of give

assistance, any assistance required. But the U.S. government is clear that any action that's taken has to be from the Nigerian government, it has to

be led by the Nigerian government, Kristie.

LU STOUT: All right, Stephanie Busari reporting live from Abuja. Many thanks indeed for your reporting and for that update.

And for a look behind the scenes at the recording done by Stephanie and the team in Nigeria,

go to the CNN International Facebook page. Now, she and Nima Elbagir, they answered questions in a live Facebook chat. And they describe their work

with parents in Nigeria to bring back the missing girls.

LU STOUT: Now, Pope Francis is planning to go to the Greek Island of Lesbos on Saturday to see for himself where thousands of migrants have been

arriving as they flee the civil war in Syria.

Now Hala Gorani brings the look at the situation there now.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

[08:15:56] HALA GORANI, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: For Umab al- Bedri (ph), the choice was simple: stay in Syria and die or flee. She chose life. And after months of running, ended up here with her two

daughters at the Karatepe (ph) camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

Her husband and two sons, she tells us, fled Syria seven months earlier and are already in Germany.

"My husband says if it was up to me I would bring you here right away, but you have to wait for

permission from European officials," she tells me. "I'm not here for a handout, but I want to see my children. I haven't seen my 7-year-old son

in seven months."

Her temporary home, a basic UNHCR prefab. no running water. No power. Umab al-Bedri's (ph) family remains divided while she waits on her

asylum application. She's told it could take months, a story that mirrors many at Karatepe (ph), a camp designed to welcome the more vulnerable

refugees, women and children, or the badly injured.

But it is a very different situation here at the other camp on the island called Moria. It is closed. It is very controlled. There's even

riot police parked outside. We've even been told we're not allowed to film the front gates.

When asked why we didn't have access, officials wouldn't give us a reason. Here, the walls surrounding the Moria camp have been freshly

painted white in anticipation of Pope Francis's visit to Lesbos on Saturday.

Elsewhere on the island, gone are the scenes of mass exodus and desperation of just a few months ago. Now refugees remain confined to

enclosed camps. And the migrants and refugees who have managed to travel farther are stuck at closed borders between Greece and Macedonia.

For families in limbo here, waiting is now all they can do.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: And that was Hala Gorani reporting. And she is hosting a special edition of the World Right now live from the island of Lesbos.

That starts at 8:00 p.m. Friday in London, 3:00 a.m. Satuday here in Hong Kong, only on CNN.

Now you're watching News Stream. And coming up, Fresh signs that China's economy is still cooling down. What economists say is behind the

latest numbers.

Plus...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HILLARY CLINTON, 2016 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Now wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS, 2016 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Now hold it. That's just not accurate.

CLINTON: I have stood on the debate stage with Senator Sanders eight times...

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LU STOUT: The Democrats in the race for the White House, the blows keep coming. We will have the latest as the candidates battle it out for

New York.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:22:25] LU STOUT: Coming to you live from Hong Kong, you're back watching News Stream.

Now Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice taking a stand against

secret government data searches. Now they are accusing the government of looking through customers data on Microsoft's cloud servers while forcing

Microsoft to keep quiet about those searches sometimes forever.

Now, this revolves around the 1986 electronic communications privacy act. Now, police can use this to get a special exemption allowing them to

search a company's servers for data without telling customers that police have ordered a search.

Now, this is not how physical searches work. A person must be informed when police search someone's home in the U.S.

Now Microsoft pointed out this double standard saying that people do not give up their rights when they move their private information from

physical storage to the cloud.

And this comes after Apple and he FBI fought in public over how to access data on a terrorist's locked iPhone. Apple resisted the FBI's calls

to help it gain entry into the phone, but Apple did allow the FBI access to data relating to the case stored on its cloud servers.

Now, China's economy is still growing, but no longer at the breakneck pace in its heyday. And new figures out of Beijing show the gross domestic

product expanded by 6.7 percent in the first quarter of this year. Now that is the weakest since 2009. But it is largely in line with what many

economists had been anticipating. Of course a slowdown in China, that is nothing new.

Now, let's bring in for analysis and context, CNN Money's Asia-Pacific editor Andrew Stevens. And Andrew, what does the GDP numbers reveal to you

about the economy and also how Chinese officials have been trying to steer it?

ANDREW STEVENS, CNN MONEY: Well, a couple of things in these numbers ad behind these numbers, Kristie.

First of all, take -- cast your mind back to earlier this year when the Chinese markets, the equities markets, the currency market were in

turmoil. And that was rippling out right across the world. There was a real fear that the Chinese economy could be in freefall. It could be on

the brink of a hard landing.

Well, these numbers for the first quarter clearly show that is not the case that there -- yes, there is a slowdown, but it is not nearly as

worrying as we had thought, or some had thought, back in January this year.

What it is showing us is that this is an economy, which looks like it is stabilizing. The question becomes why and is it stabilizing for the

right reasons?

What has happened -- and if you look at these numbers, is that the government, Beijing, has been throwing a lot of money at the economy in

forms of spending on infrastructure. There's been an awful lot of lending by the banks at Beijing's direction.

So, really getting a lot of money thrown at the economy, which is not the way this economy needs to be growing. Yes, it plugs a hole, it stops

the fall, and you see there that fall has been fairly gentle, that decline fairly gentle really in the past two or three years. But it's not really

what China needs at this stage as far as trying to create this balanced economy they keep talking about when in fact what they've been doing is

just continuing to throw money at the problem.

[08:25:34] LU STOUT: Yeah, what China needs is reform, especially in its bloated state-owned enterprise industries. Reform is something that

China has been talking about and promising for years. Is it going to deliver?

STEVENS: Well, at this stage, it's not patently. There has been talk, and there continues to be talk, as you say, of reforms. Li Keqiang,

who is known as the economic czar, at the key economic forum in Beijing a few weeks ago, again he was talking about the zombie companies, these

state-owned companies mainly which are on life support and producing nothing that

anyone really wants and they need it to be closed down.

They talked about 1.8 million jobs were going to go in the coal and steel industries. This is all good to hear this talk, but you've got to

convert that into action.

Yes, there is capacity being cut in steel and coal, but bu not nearly enough, if you talk to the economists. What they want to see is much, much

more radical than what Beijing is offering.

So, at this stage, Kristie, there's a lot of talk about reform, not really happening.

You're not going to get this Goldilocks economy, which really is -- you know, that's the aspiration, where it's nicely balanced. There's a lot

of consumer spending. There's a lot of production that people actually want. You're not going to get that without having serious reforms, painful

reforms. At the moment, there doesn't seem the political will to carry those out.

LU STOUT: That's right, something has got to give and it is going to be painful if it's carried out. Andrew Stevens reporting for us. Thank

you, Andrew.

You're watching News Stream. Still ahead on the program, a heated showdown between U.S. presidential candidates in Brooklyn, New York. We'll

tell you about one of the most dramatic Democratic debates yet.

Plus, armed robbers enter a bar, but one kissing couple seems not to even notice. We'll play more of this surveillance video suggesting that

love really is blind.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(HEADLINES)

[08:31:13] LU STOUT: In the race for the White House, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are going after each other like never before. The two

traded barbs throughout the Democratic debate on CNN on Thursday night. And it comes just days before the crucial New York primary.

Now, John Berman has more on the dramatic showdown in Brooklyn.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JOHN BERMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): You want contrast?

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I do question her judgment.

BERMAN: You want contentious?

HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Describing the problem is a lot easier than trying to solve it.

BERMAN: You got Brooklyn. A high tension, high drama debate befitting the high stakes of the moment.

From the start, Bernie Sanders blasted Hillary Clinton's judgment.

SANDERS: I question a judgment which voted for the war in Iraq and I question her judgment about running super PACs.

CLINTON: This is a question designed to raise questions when there is no evidence or support to undergird that insinuation that he is putting

forward in these attacks.

BERMAN: But nearly every Sanders salvo was met by a Clinton call for specifics, including his suggestion that she is in the pocket of big banks.

SANDERS: When millions of people lost their jobs and their homes and their life savings, the obvious response to that is you got a bunch of

fraudulent operators and that they have got to be broken up. That was my view way back and I introduced legislation to do that.

Now, Secretary Clinton was giving speeches to Goldman Sachs for $225,000 a speech.

CLINTON: He cannot come up with an example because there is no example. It's always important. It maybe inconvenient, but it is always

important to get the facts straight.

I stood up against the behaviors of the banks when I was a senator. I called them out on their mortgage behavior.

SANDERS: Secretary Clinton called them out. Oh, my goodness. They must have been really crushed by this. And was that before or after you received

huge sums of money by giving speaking engagements?

BERMAN: Speeches for which Hillary Clinton still says she will not release the transcripts.

CLINTON: Let's set the same standard for everybody, when everybody does it, OK, I will do it.

BERMAN: The Brooklyn brawl ran so hot at times, the fighters needed to be separated by the ref.

SANDERS: I'm sure a lot of people are surprised to learn you support raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

CLINTON: Wait a minute -- wait a minute. I have stood on the debate stage with Senator Sanders eight prior times.

(CROSSTALK)

WOLF BLITZER, CNN MODERATOR: Secretary, Senator, please...

(CROSSTALK)

CLINTON: Let's do it.

BLITZER: If you are both screaming at each other, the viewers will not hear either of you.

CLINTON: I have said from the very beginning that I supported the fight for 15. I supported those on the frontlines of the fight. It happens

to be true.

SANDERS: Well, I think the secretary is confused a lot of people. I don't know how you are for the fight for 15 when you say you wanted $12 an

hour national minimum wage.

BERMAN: Then, there were decisions about contrition. Clinton offering an apology of sorts for the 1994 crime bill her husband signed into law.

CLINTON: I'm sorry for the consequences that were unintended and have had a very unfortunate impact on people's lives.

BERMAN: But Sanders when pushed with no apology for his positions on gun control.

SANDERS: I don't believe it is appropriate that a gun shop owner who just sold a legal weapon to be held accountable and be sued.

[08:35:01] BERMAN: Including no apologies to families of victims of Sandy Hook who have criticized his opposition to some lawsuits against some

gun sellers.

SANDERS: No, I don't think I owe them the apology. They have the right to sue. I support them and anyone else who wants the right to sue.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: And that was John Berman with that round up.

Now fresh off the debate stage, Bernie Sanders is looking to take his message to the world stage. Now, Sanders is briefly leaving the campaign

trail to go to Vatican City. He will address a conference on social and economic issues. His campaign manager says the trip is an opportunity for

Sanders to speak on the signature works of his life. The candidate is not expected to meet with the pope.

Now ahead of that trip, we put together a little quiz for you. It asked the question who said it, Bernie Sanders or the Pope. Now, both

speak out passionately about the need for social justice, but who called climate change the greatest threat? And who referred to the idolatry of

money? We'll see how much you know. You can find it at CNN.com/politics.

You're watching News Stream. And still to come on the program, we revisit this iconic image of the late British Princess Diana as her eldest

son and his wife prepare to visit the very same location.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LU STOUT: Welcome back.

Now, after a whirlwind tour of India, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Bhutan. Now the duchess tried her hand at archery as he

couple worked to build a personal relationship with the kingdom's royal family.

Now, the kind and queen of this secluded Himalayan country are often compared to William and Catherine.

Now, the duke and duchess will wrap up their Asia trip with a visit to the Taj Mahal on Saturday, it's a place Princess Diana visited many years

ago when she sat alone on a bench in front of the famous monument.

Now, Max Foster spoke to the photographer who captured that moment.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MAX FOSTER, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Countless VIPs have been picked on this bench, but this shot became iconic because of the story

behind it. It came to symbolize the breakdown of what was meant to be a fairy tale marriage.

Anwar Hussein was in the royal press pack that day.

ANWAR HUSSEIN, PHOTOJOURNALIST: It's iconic because she looks very small against the big expanse of the Taj Jahal, which is a big building,

imposing building. And so (inaudible) and the way she was sitting down there looked maybe lonely with nobody in the background, looked like she

was the only person in the Taj Mahal, like it belonged to her or something

FOSTER: The shoot was organized by then royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter.

DICKIE ARBITER, FRM. BRITISH ROYAL PRESS SECRETARY: It was left to everybody else to decide what the state of the marriage was in. And I

think she gave that impression by the way that she looked at the camera and what she said to one of the cameramen.

PRINCESS DIANA: Healing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In what way?

DIANA: You work that out for yourself.

FOSTER: That was interpreted by those who were there as confirmation that the marriage was in trouble.

ARBITER: It is recognized as a temple of love. And Diana was in front of it all alone, her husband having been there 12 years beforehand

who incidentally said one day I would like to bring my wife here. Well, there and he wasn't.

[08:40:01] FOSTER: This wasn't the fun-loving Diana that the photographers had pictured before.

HUSSEIN: Her (inaudible) for example like when she was still very friendly with Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. They used to like in

skiing wen there and they are pushing each other and joking, and like in (inaudible) they were walking with an

umbrella, and we can see Diana giggling like a little girl or something.

So many times they were doing, they knew the camera was there, but they wouldn't mind being like that, like little girls.

FOSTER: It was within a mart of months after the Indian tour that Diana and Charles announced their separation.

Now their son, William, is making a return visit to India with his wife Kate. They, too, will sit on that same bench of the Taj Mahal, but

with a very different story to tell, one of a happy and secure marriage, which the media is rarely allowed into.

William's obsession with privacy in sharp contrast to his mother's openness.

Max Foster, CNN, London.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: Now, they say that love is blind. And that appears to be true for one couple in the U.S. state of Montana. Now, the lovebirds they

were so busy making out at a bar that they failed to notice an armed robbery taking place just right in front of them.

CNN's Jeanne Moos has more

(BEGIN VIDOETAPE)

JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: There they were kissing, caps backwards blissfully unaware as a woman and two male robbers walked into

the Tap Inn brandishing guns. Did that stop the lovebirds? Nope, they kept on nuzzling as the bandits in bandanas emptied the register.

One of the robbers brushed right past them and finally you see the moment when it dawns on Don Juan that there's a robbery in progress. The bandit

even steals what may be lover boy's phone.

No one was hurt. The surveillance tape went viral as everyone tapped into the Tap Inn's kissing couple, which upset owner Bobbi Rhodes. He told

the Billings Gazette "nobody has bothered to ask how is my bartender doing? he's doing well.

"Love is blind" says the internet. In this case, deaf and dumb as well. The only arms they noticed were around each other.

Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: And last thing we have a story from Japan about a chimpanzee who made a bid for

freedom. Now, the Yagiyama (ph) Zoo says Chacha the Chimp (ph) escaped Friday and he climbed a telephone pole. He was shot with a tranquilizer

dart and it took time for it to kick in. And he looked right at home just swinging there on the power lines.

Now finally and eventually he looses his grip and eh falls.

Now Teve Asahi (ph) he quotes zoo officials saying that they broke his fall with a plastic sheet and that the chimp is okay. But they've closed

the zoo on Friday to inspect the facilities.

Now that is New Stream. I'm Kristie Lu Stout.
