CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS. Products being pulled off shelves. Authorities running investigations, some shoppers protesting. All of it has to do with meat. Some packages that were labeled as 100 percent beef were discovered to contain horse meat. Ireland, the U.K, France, Germany, Sweden Switzerland, Romania. This scandal is affecting more than a dozen European countries. The latest news is that Nestle, a mega food company, is pulling some of its products in Italy, Spain and France. It`s also stopping deliveries of some products from a German supplier, because traces of horse DNA were found in the meat. But let`s get the big question out of the way: will eating horse meat make you sick? British health officials say, no. The meat itself not a risk, but one concern is about a drug called "bute". It`s used on horses and it can cause some rare, but serious health problems for humans. There is also a religious issue here. Some religions have dietary laws that restrict eating horse meat. Since these packages were labeled incorrectly, people might have eaten eat without knowing. In some countries like France, China and Russia eating horse meat is common. In others, like the United Kingdom, the idea is unthinkable. Would this kind of thing change your eating habits? On Twitter, Chris told me: "Yes, there are not good circumstances I can think of where I`d willingly eat horse." Matt disagreed: "Honestly, I wouldn`t change my eating habits just for one small chance that I`ll eat horse meat."

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See if you can I.D. me. I`m a U.S. state that borders Canada. I have one of America`s smallest populations. My southern neighbor shares part of my name. And my capital city is Bismarck. I`m North Dakota. And my name comes from a Native American world for "friend."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: You might expect North Dakota to get hammered with snow all winter, but on average, the state gets less snow than the states to the east or west of it. Then, there is this: a winter storm slammed part of the state last weekend. The I-reporter who sent this video in, said there were four to eight inches of snow and winds blowing through it around 50 miles per hour. The snow and fog made it hard for driver to see, so officials put out a travel alert. They also warned drivers to watch out for snow plows that were working to clear the roads.

Weather is flying, and flying is weather. A pilot named Bob Buck (ph) wrote that, showing that the two thing are always linked. That`s why storms like the North Dakota blizzard or the recent nor`easter on the East coast always affect air travel. Flying may still be the safest way to travel, but there is a lot that goes into making it that way. Ayesha Durgahee shows us what.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ladies and gentlemen, (inaudible) from the Atlantic. This is your captain.

AYESHA DURGAHEE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And in-flight forecast from the front of the plane.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (inaudible).

DURGAHEE: Once the seat belt sign is on, we can get back to enjoying a meal or a movie, because the planes we fly in are designed to battle the elements that can suddenly cross their paths.

PROFESSOR MANU HADDAD, LIGHTNING LAB, CARDIFF UNIVERSITY: There is one lightning strike every second around the world. Every single aircraft is hit by lightning once a year.

DURGAHEE: Here, at Cardiff University in Wales, lightning strikes every day, where capacities discharge a current of 100,000 amps in a microsecond recreating the power of a lightning bolt at altitude. The aluminum body of an aircraft is highly conductive, and acts as a Faraday cage. A metallic shield that directs the electric charge outside towards the back of the plane. And the passengers on board won`t feel a thing.

This $2 million lightning lab in partnership with EADS and the Welsh government, tests different conductor strips on the nose of a plane and new composite materials found on modern aircraft.

Another built-in defense mechanism is using the heat from the engines to melt ice around them and along the edge of the wings.

And here at Cranfield University, they have an ice tunnel. Minus ten degrees Celsius with a wind speed of 100 miles per hour. They can see how ice builds up and understand its aerodynamic qualities.

DR. DAVID HAMMOND, CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY: What we`d find is that generally the ice that forms in this area here, it can be quite thin, but the ice, which forms a little bit further back can be a lot thicker, which actually reverses the curvature of the leading edge.

DURGAHEE (on camera): It changes the shape of the wing, essentially.

HAMMOND: Quite dramatically, in some cases, yes. Unless you do something to prevent it. So, in an aircraft, typically we`ll work out which parts of the aircraft are most critical aerodynamically, and then make sure that they are protected.

DURGAHEE (voice over): When it comes to aircraft design and weather, at research level, there are men and women dedicating their lives to specific weather conditions, to ensure planes are built to buffer and bear the harshest of conditions. And then it`s up to the pilots to do the rest.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s time for "The Shoutout." Polyethylene is used to make some plastics, but what chemical elements make up polyethylene? If you think you know it, then shout it out!

Is it hydrogen and silicon, carbon and hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon or lithium and aluminum? You`ve got three seconds, go!

Polyethylene is a chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms that can take a long time to break down. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: How long are we talking about? The honest answer is "we don`t know for sure." Plastics just haven`t been around long enough. But scientists estimate it could take anywhere from 500 to a 1000 years for some of these things to break down. That`s part of the reason why Sacramento, California`s capital is thinking about banning plastic bags. The city council says they pile up in landfills or show up as litter on roads and in trees or rivers. The ban would be on plastic bags in large grocery and retail stores. Instead, people could bring their own bags or pay around ten cents for a paper bag from the store. Some of the stores were on board with the idea, but at least one shopper said he doesn`t want the plastic bags to disappear since he reuses them for other things.

When the stock market closed yesterday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was higher than it`s been in five years. You might know that the Dow is one way to measure how the whole economy is doing, but do you know how the Dow Jones Average works? What about calculating the interest rate on the student loan for college? When I was back in school, I didn`t know. There`s a program, though, that tries to teach students that kind of financial literacy to help the students future and possibly the country`s.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Another key thing about investment is there`s going to be risk -- some amount of risk involved.

SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Auston Kennedy is a high school senior, and although he can`t buy a house or a car just yet, he wants to be financially responsible at an early age.

AUSTON KENNEDY, SENIOR, WEST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL: It`s important for teenagers to learn to be financially literate so that before they are in a position to manage their own finance, to make their decisions, they already have a good base as far as what`s appropriate, what`s the best way to manage their funds.

MALVEAUX: Kennedy got his advice from a program that brings real life banking practices into the classroom. John Bryant heads up Banking on Our Future, also called BOOF.

JOHN HOPE BRYANT, CEO AND FOUNDER, OPERATION HOPE: You`re going to grow up and do well, and do good. You don`t want to just do well for yourself, you want to do well, and then get back to your community as well.

MALVEAUX: Bryant`s non-profit has been around for 20 years. He says his mission is to empower communities to reach people at a young age so they could control their own financial destiny.

BRYANT: Connect education with aspiration, these kids are dropping out of high school, because they don`t think education is relevant to their future. It`s real simple. Give them something to believe in. There`s nothing more valuable than investing in their education, investing in their self-esteem, especially investing in their spiritual growth and then investing in their dream.

MALVEAUX: Hip hop mogul and entrepreneur Russell Simmons is a big supporter of the program.

RUSSELL SIMMONS, CHAIRMAN AND CEO RUSH COMMUNICATIONS: People need to be educated, compete in any sector of the society. We spend so much money on a war machine, and so little money on our children`s education. And our kids -- they don`t have lobbyists, so, you know, we have to lobby for them.

MALVEAUX: As Auston prepares for college, Bryant sees his investment paying off.

KENNEDY: I`ve been asking a lot more of the financial aid representatives about the best ways to manage funds in college. I probably wouldn`t have had inclination to ask those questions, had I not been involved with the Banking on Our Future program.

MALVEAUX: Suzanne Malveaux, CNN, Atlanta.

AZUZ: Unbelievable. College seniors lined up the trick shot as part of the monthly class competition -- yes, they won. It wasn`t a hole in one, though, it took them 28 tries to nail the shot. But they didn`t want to cheat or cut any corners. When you are golfing, you aim for the fair way. I mean that`s just part for the course. If other competitors were green with envy, they can try to top this shot, they`ll have to putt up or shot up. That`s the whole story for today. Teachers, we want your thoughts on today`s show.

Shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary

Aired December 17, 2012 - 04:00:00   ET

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

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We have endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years, and each time I learn the news, I react not as a president, but as anybody else would, as a parent. And that was especially true today.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: President Obama speaking last Friday about a shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. We`re going to be focusing exclusively on that story today.

There are a lot of questions about what happened on Friday. Right now, there aren`t very many answers. As people struggle to understand this tragedy, they are mourning the victims who lost their lives and looking for ways to honor those victims and support their families.

President Obama ordered the flag at the U.S. Capitol building and at all U.S. Government buildings to be lowered to half-staff on Friday. Governors across the country asked for flags in their states to be lowered as well. Messages of sympathy for the shooting victims came in from all over the world. A lot of people shared similar thoughts on social media.

In the community of Newtown where this happened, services and candle-light vigils like this one had been going on since Friday night. There has been an emotional reaction to the shooting, as you might expect, and you could see some of that emotion from President Obama when he talked about it on Friday.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

OBAMA: I know there is not a parent in America who doesn`t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do. The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them - birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams. So our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: 26 people from Sandy Hook elementary were killed on Friday. Earlier this year, the principal put in a new security system. It locks the doors at 9:30, and it requires visitors to be identified and then buzzed in. Officials say the alleged shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, used a gun to force his way into the building, a gun authorities say belonged to his mother, whom he`s also accused of shooting.

Around 9:30 Friday morning, witnesses reported hearing gunshots inside Sandy Hook elementary. Police say the gunman opened fire in two classrooms after killing the principal and school psychologist in the hallway. Officials said the shooter eventually took his own life. The attack claimed the lives of 20 students, all 6- or 7-year-olds, and six adults, and left the community of Newtown, Connecticut in shock.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Just a tragic, tragic situation for the teachers, the principals, and those angels, that`s all I keep thinking about is those angels.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: When things happen to your children, and to other people`s children, I can`t look at my children`s faces now without seeing the faces of every one of their schoolmates.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

AZUZ: The shooting at Sandy Hook elementary is a story of violence and tragedy. It`s also a story of heroism. Certainly the police and emergency workers who responded to this attack, but especially the teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook and their actions last Friday. When one kindergarten teacher heard shots, she locked her classroom door, took her students to a safe area in the back of the room, and read to them in order to keep them calm. A first-grade teacher ushered her students into the class bathroom and then keep them there until the police came to evacuate them. Another first-grade teacher moved her students into a corner away from the door. When the gunman came into the room, the teacher stood in front of the students, protecting them while sacrificing her life.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. DANNEL MALLOY, D-CONNECTICUT: In this time of troubles and travails, when the unthinkable happens in our very midst, our faith is tested. Not just in the religious sense, not just necessarily our faith in God, but our faith in community and who we are and what we collectively are. And it`s in so many ways permissible to have those thoughts and those doubts about who we are and what we are and what community represents, but then we turn to understand, as we turn around this room, and recognizes our friends and our neighbors, those we have done things for and those who have done things for us. This is a great and beautiful community, located in a great and beautiful state and a great and beautiful nation.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: There are a number of organizations that are working to help the community of Newtown. Some are fund raising, some are offering counseling and other services to families. Some are collecting messages of support. CNN has a list of several of these organizations as part of our impact your world program. It offers some ideas on how you cane make a difference to those in need. You`ll find the link in the spotlight section at CNNstudentnews.com. We also have a blog posted at cnnstudentnews.com, where you can talk about this if you`d like.

From those of your viewers on Facebook, here are a few of the comments posted yesterday afternoon. From Tessa, "The country needs to come together to help the families that were hurt and affected by the shooting. We need to put the focus on them and helping them recover, put the focus on prayer and recovery."

From Kate, "these precious angels will forever be missed and never forgotten."

From Carlos, "when will things like this ever stop?"

From Seth, "This is a horrible tragedy, but we must now begin to heal and ensure that something like this never happens again."

From Kelsey, "I`m proud of all the brave teachers who risked their lives to save those poor little kids."

From Chris, who is a teacher. "No student or teacher should have to fear going to school. My heart goes out to everyone in that community."

And from Alicia, "I think the whole nation`s thoughts, prayers and love should go straight to the families affected by this tragedy." Alicia, I could not agree more. I join everyone who is praying for this community and for all of you around the world who`ve been affected by this. We know many of you still have a lot of questions. We have a lot of questions. But we`ll continue searching for answers in the days ahead.

North Korea Sends Satellite Into Orbit; The Prime Minister Game

Aired December 13, 2012 - 04:00:00   ET

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

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: When you say that`s something carved and stone it means it can`t be changed, right? Wait a few minutes before you answer that. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS.

After years of failed attempts, North Korea has sent a satellite into orbit. It was connected to a rocket that launched yesterday. Some experts called the launch a big deal for North Korea. Chance for the country to show off its progress with technology. Japan called the launch intolerable, and South Korea called it "a threat to the peace of the Korean Peninsula in the world." The issue here is that the technology used to launch this satellite is the same kind that could be used to launch a ballistic missile or an attack missile. Back in April, the United Nation Security Council demanded that North Korea stopped any launches that use missile technology. The group spoke out strongly against yesterday`s launch well.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SUSAN RICE, U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.: The international community and our colleagues in the council have condemned this launch clearly and swiftly, as a clear violation of U.N. Security Council Resolutions.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Paula Hancocks looks at some impossible reasons for this launch and she has some reaction from both countries on the Korean Peninsula.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Dancing on a street in Pyongyang, the day North Korea claims its sent a satellite into orbit. The response from residents unsurprisingly patriotic.

"The successful launch of the satellite has sent a shock wave to the whole world" this man says. Pyongyang insists the program is peaceful. The United States, South Korea and others disagree. They consider the launch to be a cover for testing ballistic missile technology. North Korea`s foreign ministry rebuffed the criticism saying hostile forces are showing signs of a sinister bid to take issue with the launch. Concern on the streets of Seoul was more low key.

"Confrontation is never good," says this Seoul resident, "It causes military tension. But I think North Korea just wanted to show off." South Korea`s defense ministry says the North leader Kim Jong-Un needed to cement his control one year after he succeeded his father. Experts said he needed to prove himself to the military.

LEE CHUN MIN, PROFESSOR, YONSEI UNIVERSITY: "After having purged all the key figures over the last several months, he had to show the army that he was still in command and he had to show the people that despite the fact that North Korea was doing very poorly economically, they had the right to stand up against so-called imperialists` forces, but they want it as an embrace on a message that the army that I`m with you.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

AZUZ: Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush. Three of these last four U.S. Presidents have served eight years in the White House. President Obama`s set to do the same thing. When your country`s leaders are in office that long, it can make it easier to remember what order they came in. In Japan, that might be more challenging.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So, would you like to play the prime minister game? It`s a very difficult challenge, so you have to place them in order, so ...

Oh, so close!

OK, what are you guys saying? Is it right? Is it correct? Do you think it`s correct? Yeah? Good job, it`s correct.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: All right, so part of what makes that prime minister game so difficult is that in the past six years, Japan has had six different prime ministers. The country could get its seventh soon. Japan`s holding elections on Sunday, so what the Japanese people think about this turnover at the top of their government, and what kinds of challenges will their next prime minister face? Here `s Alex Zolbert with more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ALEX ZOLBERT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Is it frustrating that you`ve had so many leaders in six years?

(voice over): "It`s completely crazy," she says. Another woman tells us, it is unusual to have so many prime ministers. It`s a sign of Japan`s instability.

Obviously, the jokes can be made about the ever-changing prime minister here in Japan, but there are very serious issues at play. This country is in recession once again, it`s grappling with rising debt, as well as its biggest reconstruction efforts since World War II. Plenty to tackle for whoever will become this country`s seventh prime minister in just over six years. Alex Zolbert, CNN, Tokyo.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s "Shoutout" goes out to Mr. Flynn`s classes at Unadilla Valley High School in New Berlin, New York.

Where will you find this memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Here we go, is it in Atlanta, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, Memphis, Tennessee or Washington, D.C.? You`ve got three seconds, go!

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is part of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: The memorial opened in October of last year. It includes more than a dozen quotes from Dr. King, but one led to some controversy, because it wasn`t an exact quote. Here is the inscription that`s carved into the monument.

"I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness." That`s not exactly what Dr. King said in the speech this came from. His full quote starts, "If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness.

Maya Anjelou, a famous poet and author said that leaving out the world "if" change the meaning. She said it made Dr. King appear to be arrogant. Now, officials say they are going to remove the inscription. The work should start early next year.

There are no plans to replace the inscription, but do you think officials should? And if so, what do you think should go there? That`s what we are asking on our blog, tell us what you think and tell us only your first names at cnnstudentnews.com.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit: A squid is an example of a gastropod. Not true. Squid are cephalopods, which means they have tentacles attacked to their heads.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: So we know they are cephalopods, we know they eat fish, shrimp and other squid and as far as Humboldt or jumbo squid go, we know they live about a year and that they like to hunt and migrate in groups. What we don`t know is why these things have been washing up on a California coast. Kiet Do of CNN affiliate KPIX tells us what theories researchers have.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

KIET DO, KPIX CORRESPONDENT: The beaches of Santa Cruz County are littered with the carcasses of thousands of Humboldt squid. They`ve stranded themselves from Aptos to Watsonville, a span of 12 miles.

HANNA ROSEN, STANFORD UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDENT: You just see them essentially killing themselves and it`s just really weird to see it.

DO: It happened during high tide. Some people actually tried to put them back in the water, but researcher Hanna Rosen says the deepwater creatures swim right back to shore.

ROSEN: They don`t see the shore very often. So, it might just be that they don`t understand what`s going on around them, and they are just trying to get away and don`t realize that if they swim towards the shore they are going to run out of water, eventually.

DO: They are juveniles, both male and female, about a foot and a half long, weighing roughly three pounds. They had full stomachs, having feasted on smaller market squid, a few had also cannibalized each other, which is normal.

To be honest, researchers have no idea why this is happening. But they think it`s because the squid have eaten toxic algae.

ROSEN: It`s possible that the squid are ingesting either these neurotoxins or they are getting it through their food, and that could be causing them to be disoriented and swim on to the beach.

DO: Humboldt squid haven`t been in the Moderate Bay for a few years. Scientists believe El Nino weather patterns may have drawn them to the cooler waters of northern California. This is the third stranding in six weeks.

ROSEN: It`s really an exploratory time for us, so we are learning more about what causes these strandings and whether or not we should be worried about them, of it`s just a natural part of the squid cycle.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

AZUZ: Before we go, baby talk. It`s something that Apple`s Siri system just doesn`t get.

SIRI: I don`t know what you mean by WWW. How about a web search for it?

UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A-da-da.

SIRI: I don`t know what you mean by that. How about a web search for it?

AZUZ: Even if that video came off as a spoiled chat, it`s easy to see why he is the apple of someone`s eye. And we love how the kid smiles because, you know, he is not taking it too seriously. At the end of the day, it`s all phone and games. I`m going to hang it up for now. We hope you`ll answer when CNN STUDENT NEWS comes calling again on Friday. Bye now.
