April Snowstorm in Northeastern U.S.

Aired April 24, 2012 - 04:00:00   ET

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

(MUSIC PLAYING)

CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: It`s Tuesday. My name is Carl Azuz, and we welcome you to CNN Student News. Ten minutes, no commercials, headlines from around the world, and we have a lot of them for you today.

First up, we`re talking about winter weather. Now a large snowstorm in the northeastern U.S. is not that unusual. But when it happens near the end of April, that`s a bit more unexpected, especially when it comes after the warmest March on record, and winter that didn`t really have that much snow.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): It was a different story on Monday. Parts of New York were expecting 10 inches of snow, anywhere from eight to 16 inches around Pennsylvania. One meteorologist said it won`t last long. Temperatures are expected to go up this week.

Brian Todd was in Pennsylvania on Monday as the snow came down. He was looking at one particular challenge: when winter weather hits at this time of year.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BRIAN TODD, AMS METEOROLOGIST: As the heavy snow continues to fall here in north central Pennsylvania, this is what officials here are primarily worried about, the snow kind of building up on the foliage. The full foliage in a lot of the trees that has popped out, of course, since it`s late April, when the snow really starts to build up in this and in other areas, it`s going to make the trees very, very heavy.

Some of the trees are expected to collapse and fall onto power lines. That has already happened. We are told that more than 20,000 customers in this area of north central Pennsylvania are without power. They have about 200 crews from the power and electric company Penelec, fanning out all over this area. As for the roads here, the main roads in this general area still are passable, obviously.

A lot of truck traffic and car traffic coming through here. This is the corridor road leading to Interstate 80, which is a major east-west corridor for truck routes. But officials are concerned that those routes may be disrupted, may be slowed down a little bit by this snow.

Interestingly enough, a lot of the trucks that are out here to plow and salt roads had to have their plows and spreaders reattached to them, because they have taken all that equipment off, of course not anticipating this weather to hit.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: In some of those states struggling with severe weather yesterday, voters are heading to the polls today. There are Republican presidential primaries in New York and Pennsylvania as well as in Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is now the presumptive Republican nominee. He`s expected to win the party`s nomination. But primary season isn`t officially over, and Governor Romney isn`t the only Republican candidate who`s still in the race. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and U.S. Representative Ron Paul are on the ballot in all five states holding contests today.

President Obama spent part of the day Monday focused on human rights. He visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum as part of Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust was the systematic killing of millions of Jewish people by Nazi Germany during World War II.

During his visit to the museum, President Obama announced that he`ll award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski, who tried to warn the world about the Holocaust.

The president also announced a new executive order that aims to stop countries from using technology to abuse human rights. He specifically talked about cell phone monitoring in Syria, and he explained the importance of addressing global violence.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We need to be doing everything we can to prevent and respond to these kinds of atrocities, because national sovereignty is never a license to slaughter your people.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): On this day in history, back in 1800, President John Adams established the Library of Congress. The institution is now one of the largest libraries in the world.

In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. The Spanish- American war was mostly over within three months.

And in 1990, the Hubble telescope hitched a ride on a shuttle into space. Hubble has spent decades exploring and documenting our universe.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Heading over to Europe now for a pair of political stories that both involve prime ministers, the first one is in the Netherlands.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Mark Rutte has been the prime minister of that country since 2010 -- not any more. Rutte handed in his resignation yesterday. The prime minister is the leader of the party in the majority, but no party won a majority in the last elections.

So Rutte put together a coalition of several parties. One of those backed out of the coalition on Monday. No coalition, no majority, which is why Rutte stepped down. This could lead to new elections in the Netherlands, maybe as soon as this summer.

This is Iceland`s former prime minister, Geir Haarde. He is the first world leader to be convicted of a criminal charge in connection with the global financial crisis. Before that started, Iceland was one of the world`s wealthiest countries, but its banking system collapsed in 2008, wiping out billions of dollars in savings.

Haarde was convicted of negligence related to that collapse, but he was cleared of three other charges and a court official says the former Icelandic prime minister won`t face any punishment.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See if you can ID me. I come from space, but I`m most often seen in the Earth`s atmosphere. I usually don`t stick around longer than a few seconds. I`m a glowing streak that`s sometimes called a shooting or falling star.

I`m a meteor, a space object you can see burning up in the night sky.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: When a bunch of those glowing streaks show up in the sky all at the same time, it`s known as a meteor shower. There`s one that happens every year, right at the same time, and scientists say it`s the cause of some mysterious booms in California recently, although there are some residents who aren`t so sure. Sharokina Shams of affiliate KCRA has the details for us.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BRIAN CAMPBELL: And I looked straight up through here at the Sierras, and it looked like the sun coming at you.

VICKI, AMADOR COUNTY: It was so loud that it shook the ground and continued long enough for my husband to run over to me and shelter me with his body.

CAMPBELL: There was a really low rumble that started getting louder and louder and louder, like a rocket taking off. And then it finally started shaking the house and everything.

CRAIG SHOEMAKER, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE: I think it is exciting.

SHAROKINA SHAMS, KCRA CORRESPONDENT: Craig Shoemaker is a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service. He says what happened today was part of the ongoing Lyrid meteor shower. It happens every April 22nd, and if it had been dark, might have looked something like this.

SHOEMAKER: And the causes of that have been a debris cloud that`s left over from Comet Thatcher. The amount of meteors that pass through the atmosphere vary every year. This year it seems to be that maybe we`ve had a few more than usually. There may be some larger ones that have passed through.

Today some people, including Campbell, were skeptical.

CAMPBELL: I thought it was a satellite coming down, because we see meteors all the time and meteors don`t burst into thousands of blue sparks, you know. They just disappear.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: All right. Tell me if this sounds familiar. You`re eating ice cream, and all of a sudden, wham, massive headache. You`re suffering from sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. Most of us, thank heavens, just know it as a brain freeze. Some scientists are trying to figure out what causes it.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): According to their research, that headache may actually be your brain acting in self-defense. It allows more blood flow to deal with the extreme cold, and that could be what causes the pain.

Why would anyone care about figuring out brain freeze? Well, what they`re hoping is that their results could influence research on other types of headaches, like severe migraines. One expert said he doesn`t think this brain freeze study is going to offer any breakthroughs. The scientist who ran the study says more tests need to be done.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): It`s prom season, so sights like this one, high school students decked out in dresses and tuxes -- you see this stuff. It`s pretty common.

But this particular prom we`re showing you is all different. It`s the first one for students in Joplin, Missouri, since a massive tornado devastated their city last year. Back then, news cameras were in town to cover the deadliest tornado in more than 60 years.

This time, those cameras were back to cover a celebration. The rebuilding is far from over in Joplin, but one student described this prom as a victory call, and said it`s a sign that, quote, "no tornado can take us down."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Before we go, your parents might have told you not to play with your food.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): They never said anything about your dishes. This is speed stacking. You`ve probably seen this before. You probably assume the video was sped up. It`s not. And if you think stacking isn`t a sport, you`re going to have to take that up with the Junior Olympics, because it is being featured as part of this year`s games.

These speedsters are trying to qualify for that contest --

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: -- plus the preliminary events let you check out the competition and see how you stack up. If you`re looking for more puns, sorry, we only have a cupful today. For CNN Student News, I`m Carl Azuz.

France Holds Elections; Celebrating Earth Day

Aired April 23, 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)

GROUP: We are the (inaudible) senior class of (inaudible), Nebraska, and you`re watching CNN Student News with Carl Azuz. Whoo!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: From those seniors in Nebraska to the CNN Center here in Atlanta, Georgia, we`re welcoming all of you watching around the world to a new week of CNN Student News.

First up, election day in France, as voters cast their ballots in that country`s presidential election. Just like in the United States and other countries around the world, the economy and jobs -- two of the big political issues leading up to this election.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): According to French television, exit polls showed that current president Nicolas Sarkozy came in second yesterday to Francois Hollande. But neither candidate got at least 51 percent of the vote.

In fact, neither got more than 30 percent. And according to French law, if no candidate wins an absolute majority, the top two candidates have a runoff election. That means Sarkozy and Hollande will face off again on May 6th.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: One year -- according to the owner of the Costa Concordia, that`s how long it will take to remove the cruise ship from the waters near an Italian island. The salvage process will start in May. First, the Concordia will have to get back to a floating state, and then the ship will be towed to port.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): You might remember the Costa Concordia ran into rocks and then turned on its side back in January. The pictures were amazing. There were more than 4,000 people on board the ship, 32 of them were killed. The ship`s captain is facing possible criminal charges in connection with the wreck, although he claims that the rock that the ship struck wasn`t on his charts of the area.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s first Shoutout goes out to Mr. Rainey`s civics classes at Lake Nona Middle School in Orlando, Florida.

Which of the Middle Eastern countries is the smallest? You know what to do. Is it Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar or United Arab Emirates? You`ve got three seconds, go.

Bahrain is the smallest of these nations. It`s only a fraction of the size of Rhode Island. That`s your Shoutout.

AZUZ (voice-over): That small nation is dealing with some major political unrest right now. Some of the recent anger is focused on a Formula 1 auto race that happened in Bahrain`s capital over the weekend.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: This race, the Bahrain Grand Prix, was canceled twice last year because of violence surrounding protests against the government. The protesters want changes made to their country`s government. Canceling the race is estimated to have cost Bahrain hundreds of millions of dollars.

There were concerns that this year`s race might be canceled too.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Opposition groups called for more protests around the race. You can see here some of what happened. Tires and trash were lit on fire, blocking some roads leading to the racetrack. Some protesters called the race a publicity stunt. They said it was being used to make Bahrain look more unified than it actually is.

Despite the protests though, the race did happen, and a Bahraini official called it a huge success.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Here`s a quick quiz for you. What annual event takes place every year on April 22nd? It`s Earth Day. The tradition started back in 1970 with around 20 million Americans getting involved.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Now according to the Earth Day Network, more than a billion people all over the world participated in Earth Day activities. The goal? To raise awareness about environmental issues. That same year Earth Day was created, the U.S. government passed the Clean Air Act, and established the Environmental Protection Agency.

Here are some Earth Day related statistics from that agency. In 2010, each person in the United States generated nearly 41/2 pounds of solid waste, trash every day. Around 34 percent of that waste gets recycled.

Eighty-one percent of Americans switched from regular light bulbs to energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs. Seventy percent go with reusable grocery bags instead of paper or plastic and 1.2 million American homes use solar power.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: The 22nd is Earth Day, but all of April is Financial Literacy Month. Last week we talked to you about taxes, the fees that governments collect in order to fund the goods and services that they provide. Well, Christine Romans is going to break down where that tax money goes in the U.S.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN ANCHOR: Your government took $2.3 trillion of your money in fiscal year 2011, so what are you getting for all that tax money? Well, for starters, it`s not enough. The federal government spent $3.6 trillion, meaning they had to borrow $1.3 trillion. Don`t worry, if you pay taxes, you`ll be paying the interest.

But again, where did all that money go? Let`s start with Medicare, Medicaid and the Children`s Health Insurance Program. That`s the biggest slice of the pie, the blue right here. Social Security claimed one-fifth of the total budget -- that`s yellow right up there. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost $159 billion last year, about a fifth of the total spent on defense.

Now spending on safety net programs designed to keep Americans out of poverty actually dropped last year, and the interest on our debt, that amounted to about 6 percent. That`s the purple wedge there, six cents of every dollar.

Now the remaining 19 percent was split among infrastructure, science, medical research, education, benefits also for retired federal employees and veterans. That`s how your tax dollars are spent.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Time for a Shoutout Extra Credit. Who is the current U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security? Here we go. Is it Michael Chertoff, Kathleen Sebelius, Tom Ridge or Janet Napolitano? Rewind that clock to three seconds and go.

Janet Napolitano is the current Homeland Security Secretary, and the third person to ever hold that position. That`s your answer and that`s your Shoutout Extra Credit.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: Secretary Napolitano and the Homeland Security Department are responsible for keeping the U.S. safe from threats. We`re talking about things like natural disasters, terrorist attacks and cyber-threats. That`s what this next report from Rene Marsh is all about. The government is looking for help to fight online attacks, but it`s having trouble finding people who are qualified.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

RENE MARSH, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): They`re on the front lines defending America from cyber-attacks.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Just looking for signs that the attackers are trying to gain access.

MARSH (voice over): Government and industry insiders say you`re practically guaranteed a job in cyber-security if you`ve got the right stuff.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There is a lack of expertise, and there are a lot of people clamoring for people who know the Internet world, can work in this area.

MARSH: Last year the Department of Homeland Security`s cyber-unit responded to more than 106,000 cyber-attacks. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano says unless we train more cyber-experts, our economy could be the biggest casualty. She adds thousands of cyber-experts already work in the federal government, but there`s a desperate need for more.

JANET NAPOLITANO, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY: We need people who are analysts, we need people who are engineers, we need people who are experienced in intelligence as it relates to the cyber-universe.

MARSH (voice over): George Washington University is on a short list of institutions answering that need. The university will launch a master`s program in cyber-security this fall.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We get calls all the time from industry and government wanting to hire students and to find students who have this expertise and training. There are not enough people. We`re educating them as fast as we can.

MARSH (voice over): And design systems hackers can`t easily penetrate. Logic and a solid math, tech and science background are pluses. Kevin Mandia`s security form responds to corporate breaches, but with only 220 people on staff, their response is mostly reactive.

They can`t match the current demand, and he says stopping attacks before they happen is impossible without more qualified people in place.

KEVIN MANDIA, CYBER SECURITY EXPERT, MANDIANT CORPORATION: It takes a long time to learn how to be a cyber-security expert.

MARSH (voice over): He believes the six- to eight-year grooming process in a challenging field may be keeping people away.

MARSH: To bridge the gap, Napolitano has been traveling to universities to talk to students about the opportunities available. She`s also been working with universities to set a curriculum that will meet the department`s needs -- Rene Marsh, Washington.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: All right. We`re going high class for today`s "Before We Go" report.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ (voice-over): Caviar is a culinary delicacy, a sign of sophisticated fine dining or a chance to see how fast you can shovel a pound of it down your throat. A restaurant in Moscow hosted this speed- eating competition. Instead of savoring the salted fish eggs -- that`s what caviar is -- the winner gulped down his pile of caviar in just under 90 second. He took home about $340 and more caviar.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

AZUZ: That sounds like an "egg-cellent" prize. There`s a strategy to this kind of eating competition. It`s almost like a medical procedure. You have to approach it like a "sturgeon." There`s no gloating over the competitors you beat though, because there`s just no reason to rub salt in their wounds.

If you`re hungry for more headlines -- and puns -- we`re going to dish up another round tomorrow. See you "spoon."
