Welcome to cnn 10! Mmy name is Carl Azuz.
after a tumultuous day at the U.S.
capitol on wednesday
lawmakers continued the process of
counting the electoral college votes
from the november 3rd presidential
election

and those who protect this place
and may god bless the united states of
america

hours of thursday morning after

biden's inauguration is scheduled for
wednesday january 20th
in accordance with the 20th amendment of
the u.s constitution
following wednesday's protests and a
riot at the u.s capitol building
which was linked to four deaths the
president-elect said that through
war and strife america has endured much
and that the nation would endure and
prevail again and president trump said
that though he totally disagrees with
the outcome of the election
there would be an orderly transition to
the biden administration on january 20th
as we mentioned yesterday
president-elect biden says his first
priority will be to address the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic
there have been some new strains of the
virus that have cropped up worldwide and
researchers don't know if the newly
approved emergency vaccines will be
effective against them
but scientists have identified more
existing drugs that could help covid19
patients
as they continue investigating the best
ways to fight the disease
world leaders are trying to figure out
the best way to prevent its spread
i'm selma dalziz in london the uk has
recorded its deadliest day
since april on wednesday more than a
thousand people were reported killed due
to coronavirus by many measures
this current outbreak is worse than the
one during the spring and what's more
difficult
is the authorities have essentially used
up all the tools in the toolbox we're
already under a nationwide lockdown here
in england already under
the toughest rules and restrictions
essentially the government's plan now
is to vaccinate their way out of this
crisis a serious ramping up
of the inoculation program but it'll be
tough weeks ahead
i'm isabel in paris the european
medicines agency has approved for use in
the eu's 27 member states
the moderna coronavirus vaccine this
comes as several countries have seen
fears over the size of their stock
levels
and the pace of their rollout programs
on wednesday the german health minister
urged patients
saying that the vaccine was a scarce
commodity the commission has confirmed
that it will acquire
160 million doses of the moderna vaccine
which it will add
to the 300 million doses of the pfizer
vaccine already being delivered across
the eu

non-essential businesses also
shut down i'm selena wang in tokyo
japan's prime minister has declared a
state of emergency in tokyo and the
surrounding areas
as coveted cases continue to break new
records every day
but this isn't a hard lockdown japan's
government has no legal means to enforce
copen 19 restrictions
this move simply urges residents to stay
at home and for bars and restaurants to
close by 8 pm
up until late december japan's
government had actually been encouraging
people to go out and spend through this
domestic travel campaign
health experts say that this move is now
too little
too late ten-second trivia
in terms of latitude which of these
cities is located the farthest north
pyongyang north korea
shanghai china tokyo japan or charlotte
north carolina
the north korean capital of pyongyang is
located at 39 degrees north
the northernmost latitude on this list

a sort of homecoming at least a virtual
one is our next topic
it's been more than 70 years since
fighting began in the korean war
when it started thousands of families
fled to the south
and many of them became separated in the
chaotic flood of refugees
some found out later that their loved
ones were trapped in the north
and the strict control of its communist
government which doesn't allow north
koreans to travel freely
has largely kept separated families from
reuniting
with the ebb and flow of north korean
south korean relations over the years
a tiny fraction of these families have
been able to temporarily reunite
but most of those who are still alive in
south korea don't ever expect to meet
their loved ones in the north or travel
back to their childhood homes
but a new virtual reality program is
offering some of them a chance to take
a step back to their past
hyunmi's heyday was the 1960s
loved by elderly south koreans her
emotional signature song about separated
families
highlights her own heartache millions of
people were torn from loved ones by the
korean war fleeing to the south or stuck
in the north when the peninsula was
split
decades later the chance of elderly
families seeing one another again
are rapidly shrinking me her parents and
five of her seven siblings walked south
for two months to escape the fighting
hyun me paid a broker to track down her
younger sister in north korea who was
just six when hunmid left
and organized a reunion in china more
than 20 years ago
the only contact with lost family in her
native country
until now virtual reality company
techton
working with the south korean government
is determined she will at least
see her home town again
i was very worried also because
what if this the thing that i made
doesn't resemble her memory
the moment of truth hyunmi walks towards
her childhood home
for the first time in decades she
reaches out to touch her past
she knows she will never see again um
[Music]
this project is intended to promote
peace with north korea
south korea's unification ministry is
hoping they can do this
for more separated families next year
with fading memories
this would be a chance for many to see
their home one last time
paula hancox cnn seoul
it's not every day that the block you
use to get up on a horse
is actually an ancient marble slab
dating back to the second
century a.d no one knows how a roman
relic found its way to a garden in
southern england though archaeologists
say
wealthy british travelers did bring
artifacts like this home in the 17 and
1800s
the woman who used it as a horse
mounting block for the last 10 years
had no idea it was historic an auction
house estimates that the relic could
fetch as much as
twenty thousand dollars and that's not
horse feathers horse withers or us just
horsing around
now some might hear that price and say
but when a block hits the block after
roman across
europe treasure hunters are sure to
saddle up and plunk down some serious
denarius and that's an artifact jack
