Deadly Riot Breaks Out After a Soccer Match in Egypt

Aired February 2, 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, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Hi, I`m Carl Azuz and this is CNN Student News traditional versus virtual. How would you prefer to go to school? That`s what we asked on our blog. Today we`re sharing what you had to say.

First up though, a deadly riot breaks out after a soccer match in Egypt. This happened yesterday. Once the match ended, fans from both sides rushed the field.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): You can see in this video the scene was just chaos. People hit each other with rocks and chairs. In the fighting, at least 73 people were killed. More than a thousand fans were injured. The Egyptian military sent two planes in to get the visiting team, some of its fans and some of the injured out.

A CNN contributor, who`s researched soccer in the Middle East, says you sometimes do get violence between soccer clubs, but he said he`s never seen anything this big before.

AZUZ: If you want to own a company, it`s not as difficult as you might think. One way you can do it is to buy some of the company`s stock. You won`t own the entire company, but you will own part of it. Before you can do that, though, the company has to go public and to make its stock available. And the first way it does that is through something called an IPO, an initial public offering.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): That`s what Facebook did yesterday. It went public and filed for an IPO. Experts predicted it would be the biggest IPO ever for an Internet company. Five billion dollars -- now that`s not what the company is worth. It`s how much money experts think Facebook is looking to make from its IPO.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: So what does this mean for a company to go public? What are the potential pros and consumption of this? Christine Romans has some answers.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHRISTINE ROMANS, HOST, "YOUR BOTTOM LINE": IPO stands for initial public offering.

An IPO is when a company, whether it`s a mom-and-pop little store that`s getting bigger and bigger, or say, a social network conceived in a Harvard dorm room that now has 500 million people who follow it, can get on the radar, get -- attract capital and basically grow up.

Companies want to go public because they want to unlock the value in their enterprise. When you can get investors to pay to buy shares of your company, and then those shares are trade on a stock market, like the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, it also gets you money.

When you go public, investors are putting money into your enterprise. It allows you to raise money quickly.

One of the down sides is when you are a public company, you are scrutinized by the government. You have to, every quarter, file your numbers, your balance sheet, to the Securities and Exchange Commission so that your investors and so that the markets can see exactly what you`re doing.

If you`re a private company, you don`t have that kind of scrutiny. You don`t have investors selling their stakes in your company if you have one or two bad quarters. So that`s one of the reasons why private companies like to stay private.

Well, eventually, it`s everyone, like you and me. Initially, at an initial public offering, it`s the big names who get in. It`s some of those original private investors, they usually get a good shot. Founders of the company get a good shot to buy more if they want.

Facebook is the Holy Grail of IPOs. It would be probably the biggest tech company IPO in history. Facebook already has 500 different private investors basically. And when you get to that level, that threshold, that`s when the Securities and Exchange Commission says, OK, now you`ve got to open your books. Now you`ve got to file and become a public company, you`re getting too big.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: We`re turning to U.S. politics now. With Florida`s primary in the rear view mirror, the leading Republican presidential candidates are setting their sights westward. That`s where several of this month`s contests take place.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): This Saturday we have the Nevada caucuses. The main caucuses start on Saturday as well. Those last a week. On February 7th, Colorado and Minnesota hold caucuses, and Missouri holds its primary election. And the month wraps up with primaries in Arizona and Michigan.

We`ve talked a lot this week about delegates. Right now, we`re pretty early in the game. None of the Republican candidates has more than 10 percent of the number of delegates they need to win the party`s nomination.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: After Florida`s primary, CNN`s John King and Wolf Blitzer talked about how the numbers could shake to going forward.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOHN KING, HOST, JOHN KING U.S.A.: So we`re done with January. Now we`re on to February. Right now, February`s the month that looks like it`s built for Mitt Romney. I`m going to do this the hypothetical at home.

If you`re a Ron Paul supporter, Newt Gingrich supporter, Rick Santorum supporter, you might not like this. But let`s say hypothetically Mitt Romney runs the calendar in February. The Nevada caucuses, Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado.

Missouri`s a little complicated in how they award it, but I`m going to give it to him here. There`s another process later on. But Maine is a state where you had better watch Ron Paul here. But for the sake of argument, I`m going to give it to Mitt Romney again. Ron Paul could win the state of Maine.

So we get through February 11th there, and then you have the two big contests in February at the end, Arizona and Michigan. Again, this is a hypothetical.

I`m just saying if Mitt Romney runs the month of February, he would get to 256, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul would stay right there, 1,144 is what you need. So that`s a big lead, but, Wolf, it is a very, very long way to the finish line, which is why Newt Gingrich says I`m going to stay in the race, because then we move on to March.

March 3rd, the Washington caucuses, again, I`m going to give that one to Ron Paul. He may win one of these caucus states. That`s for the hypothetical, give that one to Ron Paul. He could win more than one, but let`s give him one there.

Then you move on here, Super Tuesday. This is why Gingrich is in the race right here. But you see Virginia flashing, an important point. Newt Gingrich is not on the ballot, a Southern state. This could come back to haunt him as this goes on. He also hasn`t filed some delegate slates in Tennessee, so he could win the state and not get all the delegates.

But this is a hypothetical, giving some states to Romney. You see them dark red. The southern states, Oklahoma to Newt Gingrich, that gets Gingrich, Romney`s still pulling ahead, but coming now -- let`s go through the month. Let`s just split right there, Kansas, the Virgin Islands in there. Then we come again. This is why Gingrich says he`ll stay in the race. You get Alabama and Mississippi.

If you give those over to Gingrich, then we`re moving on again. The Missouri caucuses, I told you that, it`s a two-step process. I give it back to Romney there again. For the sake of argument, we`ll give Puerto Rico. And then you come here.

Illinois would be Romney. You get later, Louisiana, another southern state. We`ll give that to Gingrich for the sake of argument. And here`s where Gingrich wants to stay in the race. Wisconsin, Maryland, the big prize of Texas.

Remember when Rick Perry jumped out, he endorsed Speaker Gingrich. So again, for the sake or argument, we`ll give up here to Mitt Romney, down here to Newt Gingrich, look what happens with Texas, Wolf. We could get to the point where we`re at April 3rd and Romney is ahead. And I`ll take this off now, because he`s closer to the finish line. He`s closer.

But Gingrich is in the ball park then. That`s what he`s hoping, to take this race on to then, and make it a case.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See if you can ID me. I`m a North American rodent that`s part of the squirrel family. I`m sometimes called a woodchuck, marmot or whistle pig. And today is a very big day for some members of my species.

I`m a groundhog, and I stuff myself in the summer and early fall so I can hibernate during the winter.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: And it is one serious hibernation. A groundhog curls up into a tiny ball. Its body temperature drops. Its heart rate slows down to four beats per minute, and it stays that way until early February, when its hibernation ends. February 2nd, according to American tradition, it`s what happens that makes today special for the species.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): It`s Groundhog Day. According to tradition, if the groundhog sees its shadow, we`re in for six more weeks of winter. This is last year`s ceremony in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. It`s home to Punxsutawney Phil. He`s the most famous whistle pig prognosticator, but more than a dozen states celebrate with their own groundhogs.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Traditional school or virtual school? Would you rather be physically in class or learning online?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): At cnnstudentnews.com, 63 percent of you were learning toward traditional school; 37 percent liked the idea of online virtual learning.

Cole says he`d rather take real classes. With online classes, you have no teacher to ask if you`re stuck, and you`re mostly just staring at a computer screen.

From Krysta, "Kids need to also learn communication skills. Without that, they won`t know how to interact with other people."

And Delaney says, "I wouldn`t have all the friends I have if I attended virtual school. Traditional school gives you a chance to interact with other students."

Cala tells us that a virtual school w2ould be safer, because there`s no bullying, and there are no students who are talking while you`re trying to work.

Jordan agrees that virtual school would keep some kids from getting bullied. If you have a computer at your house, you have peace and quiet to concentrate.

But Mar says, "I don`t have the self-motivation to keep up with virtual school."

AZUZ: Before we go, a birthday surprise for one kindergartner in Utah.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): This poster shows the things that Bailey loves. That includes her dad, who`s been serving in Afghanistan.

While she was sharing it with her class --

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Guess what, Bailey? Turn around.

(LAUGHTER)

BAILEY: Dad, (inaudible).

AZUZ (voice-over): Awesome stuff. Bailey`s dad has served for seven years. This is the first time he has lived at home since Bailey was born.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Bailey was probably going to have a happy birthday anyway, but having her dad there to celebrate with her, just icing on the cake. We hope you have a great rest of the day. We`ll see you again tomorrow for more CNN Student News.

Florida Primary Results

Aired February 1, 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, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Hi, I`m Carl Azuz, broadcasting from the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia. We welcome all of our viewers around the world to the first February edition of CNN Student News.

We`re leading things off today in Florida, with the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Three states held primary or caucus events earlier last month, and a different candidate won each contest. So some experts were looking to see if the Florida primary would bring some clarity to the Republican field.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): The goal of these primaries and caucuses is to win delegates. You need 1,044 of them this year to be the Republican Party`s nominee for president. There were 50 delegates up for grabs in Florida, and yesterday`s primary was winner-take-all. You win the primary, you get all 50 delegates.

Representative Ron Paul and former Senator Rick Santorum moved on to campaign in other states, because they didn`t think they had much chance of winning Florida. That left former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: As the results came in last night, CNN projected that Mitt Romney would win the Florida primary.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): cnnstudentnews.com is where you can always get the latest details on developing stories, like yesterday`s Florida primary. The full results came in after we produced this show. But you can find them. They`re going to be in the "Spotlight" section on our home page.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: We`re staying in Florida now to talk about a series of car crashes that happened along a major highway over the weekend. At least 12 cars and seven tractor-trailers were involved in these accidents. You can see some of what happened in the pictures we`re showing you right here.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): The highway was covered in smoke from a nearby brush fire. That made it very difficult for drivers to see. Ten people were killed in the wrecks. More than 12 other people were taken to hospitals.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Chad Myers spoke with CNN`s Anderson Cooper about why the smoke was covering the highway. They also talked about the conditions that led to these crashes over the weekend. Have a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: There was a fire in the swamp and in the forest, only 60 acres, not that big. But in a regular fire, smoke goes up and keeps going up. But in Florida, it didn`t keep going up. The reason why is because there was a layer of warm air up here. So as soon as the smoke tried to go up, it hit the layer of warm air and came back down. It`s called inversion.

The most famous inversion ever was in Donora, Pennsylvania, many, many years ago where people died because they suffocated from the smoke that just wouldn`t leave the valley.

That`s the Allegheny-Monongahela Valley near Pittsburgh I`m talking about, but that`s what happened. The smoke was trapped near the surface. It couldn`t go away. People drove into the smoke and they were hitting cars that were already stopped in the roadway.

ANDERSON COOPER, HOST, AC360: And a lot of survivors, I mean, they were saying the smoke and fog was so thick, they couldn`t see -- you know, a woman said they couldn`t even see the hazards. This isn`t that common, though, is it?

MYERS: It is not. What happened here, this smoke and fog got in a bowl, this bowl is just south of Gainesville. I`ve driven through this bowl many times on I-75, it`s the prairie right through here. Literally, it looks like you`re driving through the Serengeti.

You look to the left and you look to the right, and it`s completely flat, but all around you are hills. When you drive this, you`re literally - - you look for giraffes, because you think you`re in Africa. It looks crazy, high elevations here. High elevations there.

And right through there, it`s kind of a swampy area. And that air, that smoke settled right into that low area, into the bottom of that bowl and that`s what caused the visibility down to literally zero.

COOPER: And I guess, one thing investigators will be looking into, is could this have been avoided? I mean, should there have been warnings or road closures?

MYERS: Well, Anderson, there were road closures. The roads were closed for three hours, and then the smoke kind of cleared, because the wind blew just a little bit. But then half an hour after they re- opened the road, the crashes happened and 10 people died.

So I guess, you have to think the road probably should have stayed closed. There`s not much you can do. Once you are in this smoke, you are in it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: February 1st marks the beginning of Black History Month. It`s a time to honor the accomplishments and contributions of African-Americans. When Dr. Carter G. Woodson started the tradition in 1926, it was a week long. The celebration was expanded into a month in 1976 by President Gerald Ford.

Throughout our coverage of Black History Month, we`re going to focus on some of the people, the places, the moments that have been significant in African-American history. We`re starting with a lunch counter and an event that happened 52 years ago today.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): That`s when four black college students walked into a Woolworth`s in Greensboro, North Carolina. They sat down at the "whites only" counter to order lunch. They stayed in their seats after they were refused service, and launched a peaceful protest for civil rights. The Woolworth`s lunch counter in Greensboro was desegregated later on that year.

Some other events on February 1st: in 1790, the U.S. Supreme Court met for the first time. The first court had six justices, not nine like the U.S. has now.

In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which would abolish slavery. The amendment was ratified by the states later on that year.

And in 2003, the space shuttle Columbia broke apart while reentering the Earth`s atmosphere. All seven crew members were killed.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Checking out some other international headlines, starting off the coast of Italy, that`s where a cruise ship ran aground last month. And experts have been running a salvage operation around the ship. Now they`re recommending that the underwater part of that mission end.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): The underwater salvage has stopped and restarted a few times before. But these experts say it`s getting too dangerous to continue at all. Salvage operations above the water line will still go on. Officials say it could take seven to 10 months to remove the wreckage of the ship. But that process won`t start until the fuel that was on board is removed.

Next up, the Middle Eastern nation of Syria. The Arab League sent in monitors to see if the Syrian government was ending the violence that`s been going on there.

Yesterday, Arab League officials told the United Nations Security Council that Syria is operating a quote, "killing machine" against peaceful protests. Syrian officials say they`re the victim of false information. They accuse the Arab League of interfering with Syrian affairs.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: The U.N. is considering a resolution that would call for Syria`s president to step down. Meantime, the violence has not stopped. Reports said at least 37 people were killed in Syria yesterday.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): U.N. representatives are part of our next headline, too. This one is in Japan. It involves the country`s nuclear facilities.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: A team from the IAEA, the U.N.`s International Atomic Energy Agency, spent the past week in Japan. They were looking over the nuclear safety reviews that were ordered after last year`s meltdown at a nuclear power plant. The group said Japan can go ahead with so-called stress tests on the country`s other nuclear facilities.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Most of the country`s nuclear plants were taken offline after the meltdown, which one of the worst nuclear disasters ever. The IAEA also recommended that Japanese regulators create more comprehensive plans for dealing with severe accidents.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit? The U.S. federal government requires American children to attend school.

It`s not true. Individual states, not the federal government, set laws about school attendance.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Every state requires children to get an education. What they don`t say is how kids are supposed to get it. Last year, around 250,000 American students went to school online. They did that in what are called virtual schools, when your classes taught over the computer and the teacher`s there to kind of guide you through the lessons.

Some parents think their kids do better in virtual schools than traditional schools. Others like the flexible schedule. The critics say there`s more to learning than just getting information. There`s class discussion. There`s interacting with other students. One thing many supporters and critics agree on is that the effectiveness of online learning depends on the individual student.

We want to hear what you all think. Would you want to attend a virtual school? Think about the pros and cons of this one, then go to our blog at cnnstudentnews.com and tell us your opinions.

And remember, when you post on our blog, we only want you to tell us your first names, so please, no other information, just first names only.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Before we go we want to show you a lineup from Australia.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): But this one ain`t breaking any laws, just world records. Look at this. What you see is 145 water skiers all being pulled by a single boat.

The record-setting attempt started off with 154 people up on skis. Nine of them fell off. They`re OK, just all hurt that they won`t be part of the record. But it`s their own fault. They could have had their names in the record books, too. All they had to do was toe the line.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: But for those nine, their dreams were just washed out. Still, 145 people riding in unison? That`s a sight you have to "ski" to believe. Can the record be topped? You`ll just have to "wake" and see. It`s time for us to dock this program and its puns. For CNN Student News, I`m Carl Azuz. We`ll see you soon.
