A U.S. presidential rally, a U.S. correspondents' dinner, and a U.S.-organized march lead off this month's coverage on CNN 10. We're reporting on a destructive and deadly storm system that struck the country and bringing you facts about tornadoes. And we're introducing a new CNN Hero who's helping teenagers in the Middle East.
The document discusses various natural disasters including avalanches, floods, landslides, forest fires, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanoes. It asks the reader to consider if they have experienced any of these disasters in their country and if some are more unavoidable than others or more the result of human actions. It then provides examples of conversations where people describe being affected by flash flooding, forest fires and a volcanic eruption.
Kurds in northern Iraq held a referendum on independence this week, but several countries oppose this due to concerns it could lead to instability in the region. In the U.S., Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed again as a bill did not get a Senate vote. Puerto Rico continues to struggle with widespread power outages and storm damage from Hurricane Maria.
Air Pollution Causes Flight Cancellations in New Delhi; An Outbreak of Legionnaires` Disease Strikes California; A Sanctuary Helps Veterans and Wolves Heal
The document discusses different types of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes and storms. It provides statistics on various disasters and explores their impacts, listing books about earthquakes in San Francisco, volcanoes in Hawaii, hurricanes and future extreme weather. The document also contains exercises asking the reader to identify words related to different disasters and suggesting writing a homework assignment about surviving an earthquake.
Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 50 years ago in Memphis, Tennessee. He was a prominent civil rights leader known for his advocacy of nonviolent protest and his "I Have a Dream" speech. While King's work helped advance civil rights, some of the issues he fought against, like lack of access to clean water, still persist today in some communities. In Martin County, Kentucky, decades of deteriorating infrastructure have left many residents without reliable access to clean drinking water, relying on rain collection and mountain springs instead of water pipes. Fixing America's aging water systems will require major investment to address problems that have been allowed to worsen over many years.
This document summarizes an interview with a hurricane victim from Cancun, Mexico after Hurricane Emily hit. The victim describes evacuating from their home as tens of thousands of others did as the powerful Category 4 storm approached. During the evacuation and storm, flooding, high winds, and flying debris made conditions dangerous. The victim took shelter in a school gym with many others. After the storm, the victim's home was destroyed, as was the home of family members they have not yet been able to contact. The community will need to focus on rebuilding homes and supporting one another after this devastating hurricane.
Thousands of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar are trapped in mountains without food or medicine as fighting continues between Myanmar's armed forces and militants. Over 100,000 Rohingya have fled their homes since August 25th due to violence from the government. Meanwhile, in the US, President Trump ended the DACA immigration program started under Obama that protected undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children.
A Good Thesis Statement For A Descriptive EssayAllison Gilbert
Walt Whitman's poem "O Captain! My Captain!" and Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope is a Thing with Feathers" both reflect on hope and leadership during a time of great change and turmoil in America in the mid-1800s. Whitman's poem mourns the death of Abraham Lincoln while also expressing hope for the future after the Civil War. Dickinson's poem uses the metaphor of hope being like a small bird to represent the fragile yet resilient nature of maintaining hope during difficult times. Both poems provide a lens into the profound changes and divisions facing America during that era.

English Verbs + Prepositions DictionaryAlicia Garcia
Why study verbs + prepositions?
Prepositions are one of the most difficult things to master in the English language. They provide the “links” between the main words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives), but many English students have a hard time knowing which preposition to use in each situation.
How the world's first subway system was built Alicia Garcia
It was the dawn of 1863, and London's not-yet-opened subway system — the first of its kind in the world — had the city in an uproar. Most people thought the project, which cost more than 100 million dollars in today's money, would never work. So how did they do it? Christian Wolmar explains how the London Underground was built at a time when no one had built a railway under a city before.
A CNN investigation uncovered evidence of widespread child labor being used in cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which produces about half of the world's cobalt. Cobalt is an essential element used in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies. Reporters witnessed and filmed children as young as 9 years old doing dangerous mining work. They also found mining officials trying to hide the use of child labor and no verification of the origin of cobalt as it enters the international supply chain. No electric car manufacturers can guarantee that their products are completely free of cobalt mined by children, according to the report.
This document summarizes a CNN news segment that covered two topics: 1) The 2015 Iran nuclear deal and recent controversy over it, with Israel providing evidence that Iran lied about suspending its nuclear program. The US must decide by May 12th whether to continue lifting sanctions on Iran. 2) The issue of immigration in the US and a caravan of 100 Central American migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border, which faces opposition from some. The document provides background on both of these complex and long-debated issues.
Lauren Sallan explains that most fish have evolved streamlined bodies and fins that allow for efficient swimming. Flying fish can glide long distances while sailfish can swim over 100 km/hr due to bodies adapted for undulating movement powered by the tail and fins. Studying fish biomechanics through flow tanks and models provides insights into diverse swimming modes and how evolution has optimized fish shapes for aquatic locomotion over 500 million years.

A U.S. presidential rally, a U.S. correspondents' dinner, and a U.S.-organized march
lead off this month's coverage on CNN 10. We're reporting on a destructive and
deadly storm system that struck the country and bringing you facts about tornadoes.
And we're introducing a new CNN Hero who's helping teenagers in the Middle East.
TRANSCRIPT
CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Hi. I'm Carl Azuz. Welcome to a new week, a new
month and a new edition of CNN 10.
We're going to start today by recapping a few events from the weekend. It was an
eventful one in the U.S.
Saturday night, on his 100th day in office, President Donald Trump attended a rally in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He was with the crowd that helped him win the 2016
election.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: And could not possibly be
more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from Washington swamp, spending
my evening with all of you, and with a much, much larger crowd and much better
people, right?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AZUZ: President Trump has frequently taken aim at the media, accusing organizations
of not covering him fairly and he was contrasting the Harrisburg rally with the White
House correspondents' dinner, typically, an event where the president and the media
trade jokes about each other and themselves.
President Trump was the first U.S. leader since President Ronald Reagan not to
attend the correspondents' dinner.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JEFF MASON, PRESIDENT, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION:
But the values that underpin [support] this dinner have not changed. In fact, I think
they've been reinforced. We are here to celebrate good journalism. We are here to
celebrate the press, not the presidency.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
2. AZUZ: Also on Saturday, tens of thousands turned out at Washington, D.C. for what
organizations called the People's Climate March. There were demonstrations like this
in several other U.S. cities and abroad. The Trump administration has worked to
remove government regulations on fossil fuels, regulations put in place by the Obama
administration. And marchers believe the Trump administration's policies will
negatively impact the environment.
President Trump has said he's committed to protecting the environment, but that
greener policies must not come at the expense of jobs.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
AZUZ (voice-over): Ten-second trivia:
How do most tornadoes rotate in the Northern Hemisphere?
Clockwise, counterclockwise, latitudinally, or anticyclonically?
In the Northern Hemisphere, most tornadoes, though not all of them, rotate
counterclockwise.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AZUZ: First responders don't yet know the full extent of damage caused by violent
storms over the weekend. They have reported that several U.S. states were hit --
Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. At least eight people died and
dozens were injured. Numerous water rescues had to be made in Missouri as
widespread flooding led authorities to close 150 roads.
Officials say several tornadoes touched down in Texas, leaving a path of destruction
15 miles wide. Homes and buildings, cars and trees were demolished. The system
began lashing the Southwest and Midwest on Friday, and last night, it was moving
east, putting more than 30 million Americans under flash flood watches and warnings.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Technically, a tornado was just a violent,
rotating column of air coming out of the bottom of the thunderstorm. But it takes a
lot to get that violently rotating column to come out.
SUBTITLE: CNN Explains: Tornadoes.
MYERS: All you need for a tornado really to form, though, are thunderstorms and a
jet stream. That jet stream is a loft [throw, strike]. It makes the energy, if you
have moisture at the surfaces, dry air, cold air, pushing that moisture up, you can get
a tornado to form in any state.
3. Those days where all the ingredients combine, you get the humidity, you get the dry
air, you get the jet stream, you get upper energy in the jet stream. You get winds
churning [agitate, swirl] as you go aloft. The higher you go, the winds actually change
direction. That can cause storms, those things all cause storms to exist and get big.
Those are the ingredients that caused a big tornado day.
SUBTITLE: Rating tornadoes.
MYERS: So, now the EF Scale, Enhanced Fujita Scale, starts at zero, goes only to
five, and anything above 200 miles per hour is considered an EF-5 tornado.
If you have a zero, you're going to lose singles [roof tiles]. A one, you may lose a
couple of boards on the roof.
A two, you lose all the windows and maybe even a wall.
A three, EF-3, you will lose a couple of walls on the outside, but there will still be a
part of a home standing.
An EF-4, most of the home is gone, but you'll still the refrigerator, you'll still see a
closet and you'll still have the bathroom.
An EF-5, you cannot find the house. It's completely gone.
We don’t know how big that Fujita Scale will be, how big that tornado literally until
we look at the damage.
SUBTITLE: Tornado Alley.
MYERS: We have this almost this triangulation that no other country in the world, no
region in the world has. We have the Rocky Mountain to our west, we have the Gulf of
Mexico in our south, we have Canada and very cold air masses coming down from the
north, all of those things combined make Tornado Alley. Typically, the Plains, Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, all the way to Chicago, as far south as the Southwest,
including Georgia and Alabama, that's basically the new or the bigger Tornado Alley.
SUBTITLE: Tornado Safety.
MYERS: The greatest threat of a tornado is being hit by something that the tornado
is moving. If you're outside or if you're not protected inside, if you're hit by a 140-
mile-per-hour two-by-four [2x4 inch timber], you're going to be killed.
So, you need to be inside and the lowest level, somewhere in the middle of the home
away from windows.
4. When you hear the word "warning" and you hear your county, that's when you need to
take cover.
When you hear the word "watch", that means something might happen today. Let's
have a plan.
When you hear the word "warning", it's too late to make a plan. You need to already
have the plan. Warning is the long word, it's the bad one.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
AZUZ: Now for a report on a CNN Hero. Shanti House is named for a Sanskrit word
that means peace and tranquility. It was started by a woman who learned firsthand
what it's like to be homeless, living on the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, as a
teenager.
She eventually got her life back on track and returned to her native Israel to bring
peace and tranquility to teens today.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): I've had a difficult life. A lot of violence,
abuse in every way. At age 16, I ended up in the streets. Life in the streets was very
hard. It's a life no kid should live.
MARIUMA BEN YOSEF, CNN HERO: To be homeless in a young age, it's very lonely.
When I was 14 years old, I was living in the streets. I slept on benches and ate from
garbage with other children that didn't have a home. It was something that I
couldn't forget.
At the age of 20, I opened my home to serve dinner to children, teenagers, and
people that didn't have any place to eat. Before I know it, I set the place for all
these children to sleep in my own home.
That was more than 30 years ago. Now, we have two homes. We provide temporary
home and long term support for children at risk.
My goal is that every child that comes through this door will feel at home. They will
feel so secure and so happy.
This is my children. This is my life.
We're there for them 24/7.
(translated): Did it hurt you that your mother didn't come? You know, if she didn't
come, that is something she has to deal with herself.
5. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): You're family and that's the most important
thing.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): When I got to the Shanti House, I was
taught that I can achieve anything.
BEN YOSEF (translated): How was your week?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): I always wanted to finish school and they
made that dream come true.
Suddenly, I see a big letter from everyone at the Shanti House and it says how much
you're proud of me and how much you love me. And I realized just how much you're
with me in every situation.
(APPLAUSE)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): The Shanti House is not just a roof over my
head, it's my family.
BEN YOSEF: I didn't have a family, neither these kids. So, (INAUDIBLE) a cosmic
family.
I know exactly what they're going through. I want all these children to see that
there is always life in the dark. We can conquer it.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
AZUZ: Fire goats. It sounds like goats that breathe fire. But these are more like
firefighting goats. Smokey the Bear might have said only you can prevent foreign
fires, but these animals can help too. they naturally clear out flammable undergrowth
in Anaheim, California, by eating it. City fire department uses about 175 goats. They
helped patrol 27 acres of vegetation with their teeth, leaving little behind for a
potential fire to chew on, taking a bite out of danger.
So, maybe they don't actually breathe fire, but as long as they keep their chins up
and the undergrowth under grown, residents probably won't mind being goaded into
reaching safety goats by employing these goat to weapons in the bahhhttle against
blazes.
I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10.
