Hi, I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10.
Welcome to the show results from
yesterday's senate races in georgia were
still coming in when we produced today's
program
you can get the latest at cnn.com and
we'll bring you up to speed on them
later this week
right now though geopolitical tensions
involving the middle eastern nation of
iranare simmering in december of 2019
militias supported by iran made a number
of attacks on american targets in the
middle eastthe united states responded by launching
airstrikes against iranian militias
the u.s government blamed protesters
trained by iran for trying to storm an
american embassy in neighboring iraq
and on january 3rd of 2020 the u.s
launched an airstrike that killed an
iranian general named qasim solomoni
along with several other people the us
blamed general solomoni for the deaths
of hundreds of americans in their allies
and said he was planning new attacks
but iran called the airstrike an act of
terrorismand promised it would get revenge
there's another issue here as well
called the joint comprehensive plan of
actionit's also known as the iran nuclear deal
it was a controversial agreement reached
in 2015
between iran and six other countries led
by america's obama administration
in the deal iran agreed to limit its
nuclear program which the other nations
opposedand they agreed to remove their
sanctions on the middle eastern nation
which were worth
billions to iran's economy but in 2018
america's trump administration pulled
the u.s out of the iranian nuclear
agreement
calling it a bad deal and iran recently
went back to enriching uranium in a
higher purity
which could help the country build an
illegal nuclear weapon though
iran says its nuclear program is
peaceful the u.s and iran have been at
odds for decades
there's little love lost between iran
and the united states
well it is now washington's move after
iran
relations between the two countries have
been troubled for more than half a
century but where did the conflict start
to understand that we need to go back to
the 1950s and this man
mohammed mosaddegh mosadek who became
prime minister in 1951
was key in nationalizing the country's
british controlled oil fields
british experts were granted a
concession as a result the british
enlisted the us
to get rid of him in 1953 the cia and
mi6 backed a coup
ousting mossadeg restoring instead
iran's monarch
the shah the shah became unpopular at
home for his lavish spending
ostentatious lifestyle and the torture
of dissidents
that all changed in 1979
the islamic revolution ushered in change
forcing the shah to flee the country
the high-ranking shia religious leader
ayatollah khomeini returned from exile
in february
to become iran's supreme leader
[Music]
later that year amid death to america
chance iranian students
stormed the u.s embassy in tehran taking
90 people hostage
including 66 americans
ultimately all the hostages were
released in a siege lasting 444 days
but the damage was done the u.s
designated iran a state sponsor of
terrorismthree years later
[Music]
in the 1980s iran and iraq became
embroiled in a war
the u.s was officially neutral but in a
bid to contain iran
started backing iraq and its leader
saddam hussein
the move put the us and iran even
further at odds
the tension ratcheted up toward the end
of the iran-iraq war in 1988 the us
shot down an iranian passenger plane
over iranian territorial waters
when it mistakenly identified it as a
fighter jet it killed
all 290 people on board
when iraq invaded kuwait in 1990 the u.s
and iran
suddenly shared saddam hussein as a
common enemy although it did little to
improve relations
u.s sanctions against iran accelerated
under the clinton administration
in 2002 a year before the start of the
iraq war
president bush included iran in what he
called the axis of evil
states like these and their terrorist
allies
constitute an axis of evil judah
concerns tehran was trying to develop
nuclear weapons to threaten the u.s
ten-second trivia pittsburgh
pennsylvania is home to america's first
what
pizza museum log cabin white house or
movie theater
the nation's first nickelodeon or public
movie theater opened in pittsburgh in
1905.
it was a hit nickelodeons which only
cost a nickel to get into
rapidly opened across the country and
movie theaters have been a popular part
of american culture ever since
but that popularity has been knocked
down by a major one-two punch of online
movie streaming
and nationwide closures because of the
coronavirus pandemic
and while many theaters have reopened or
are planning to in the days ahead
it's anyone's guess when or if they'll
see the level of attendance they saw
before their problems set in
we had a number of films in movie
theaters at the time that the world went
into quarantine
and trolls world tour was poised ready
to come out in the movie theaters so
you know we had spent the majority of
our marketing dollars
and we needed to figure out how to
monetize the film
when donna langley chairman of universal
pictures made the unprecedented decision
to send trolls world tour straight to
digital
the industry was shocked any idea of
shortening the theatrical window with
exhibition was hugely unpopular we found
ourselves between a rock and a hard
place we really had no choice
were there any concerns at the time
about how the theaters would take it
they were not happy
they quote unquote boycott the film but
it didn't really matter because there
wasn't a theatrical footprint really to
speak ofand you know it came at a time that
families really needed something to do
to occupy their children the troll
sequel made more money for the studio in
just three weeks of its digital release
than the original did during five months
in theaters
universal has since made a deal with amc
to shorten the window of theater
exclusivity in the future
why is that deal so important when
you're
marketing a movie it's a huge expense
right we were waiting 90 days before
that movie could come out
on dvd or into the home which meant you
had to market the movie
all over again so eradicating that and
being able to pull that date up to 17
days
it means that we can graft off of that
first theatrical
marketing blast if you will recently
cnn's parent company warner media said
it would stream all of next year's
movies on hbo max at the same time they
hit theaters
marking a huge shift in the industry do
youbelieve it's going to be good for
theaters in the long run
every time we launch a movie it's like
launching a small business and
you know with all of this disruption and
with consumers migrating to streaming
and uncertainty about what it's all
going to look like on the other side of
thiswe need to keep ad distribution
ecosystem healthy
and the other thing i love about it is
it gives optionality to the audience
and so it just makes sense that we're
bringing the film business into the
modern era
and we're meeting the consumer and the
audience where they are and where they
want to be
what does the future of movie theaters
look like to you
i do think that there's signs of life on
the other side of the pandemic you know
if you look to asia japan and china who
are ahead of the curve in terms of
covert their movie going it's not back
tonormal numbers but they've had some
local language movies there that have
donereally well i think there's probably
some conversation around
what movies deserve that theatrical
release
and what's going to get people out into
the movie theater but that was happening
pre-covert that sort of big blockbuster
movie going was the thing that was
driving
hordes of people globally to the movie
theater and some of the smaller movies
were struggling a little bit and
particularly with the disruption of
streaming
i think we're going to continue to see
those trends why do you believe that
after this pandemic which has rattled
people to their core
that people will really come back to
theaters in tough times
people look to the movies to take them
out of their reality and to inspire them
and i think that that is going to be
true more than ever on the other side of
the pandemic
there are many things rescue dogs can do
talking is not
one of them or is it you can trigger an
avalanche big enough to bury you in
summit county right now
a serious message that has gone to the
dogs
we're seeing the weakest snowpack in our
state since 2012.
in colorado rescue workers the human
kind are trying to get people to pay
attention to their warnings about
dangerous conditions
so they're using the animals and a bit
of technology to get the word out
because while heavy snow is no problem
for the siberian husky the american
eskimo dog the alaskan klichai or the
saint bernard
people may have something to fur so
rescuers may be barking up the right
tree with these mono dogs designed to
balto people over
as long as they don't hit the malamute
button before we leave today
we're talking about sullivan high school
it's in another snowy place known as
chicago illinois
