welcome one
welcome all to cnn 10. My name is Carl
Azuz. It's great to have you watching
this Tuesday January 19th
we are one day away from inauguration
day in america the u.s constitution
sets that date as january 20th every
four years
keeping people safe is always a
challenge at these events
under normal circumstances there are
hundreds of thousands in attendance
watching a new
or re-elected leader take the oath of
office and describe a vision for the
next four years
but these ain't normal circumstances the
coronavirus pandemic is one big reason
why
additional security concerns are another
following the riot that took place at
the u.s capitol building on january 6th
we told you last week how through an
internal bulletin
the u.s federal bureau of investigation
had warned of possible
armed protests at state capitals in the
days leading up to the inauguration
those did not happen at least not on a
large scale
there were some protests and counter
protests in several states over the
weekend
but observers say the crowds were
peaceful and manageable for the large
numbers of police officers who were on
hand
there will be as many as 25 000 national
guard troops on hand for inauguration
day at least
that's how many the pentagon has
authorized for the job of keeping the
event secure
a retired army officer says the national
guard and before that the militia
have been deployed to every inauguration
since the days of president george
washingtonbut he added that 25 000 is about twice
as many as there have been in other
recent inaugurations
there was a temporary lockdown at the
u.s capitol building yesterday
witnesses said they saw smoke a few
blocks away and the lockdown interrupted
a rehearsal for president-elect
joe biden's inauguration the problem
turned out to be a fire at a homeless
camp not far from the capitol
but the response gives you a sense of
the heightened security that's present
for the inauguration
here on the streets of washington dc
things are pretty quiet there's a sense
that this is the calm before the storm
the question is whether the storm comes
whether there's
more violence uh in the days leading up
to and on the day of joe biden's
inauguration
uh they are not taking any chances we
are here just near
the eastern side of the capitol building
you can see they've set up what is
essentially a
fortress around the capital eight foot
fences they call them non-scalable
there'srazor wire all along the top there is
just astaggering amount of security here on
the streets of dc many of which
uh have been closed down for traffic
uh and for pedestrian traffic thousands
25
000 national guard troops
may be mobilized for the inauguration of
joe biden
you can see some of them right here
behind me they have been deployed near
the capitol
they are armed and they have been joined
by
various law enforcement agencies to
create this patchwork
uh of security this incredible
coordinated security operation
now the fbi has said that there are no
specific threats but there is concerning
online chatter they have said in a
bulletin
that armed groups have expressed
interest in carrying out protests
uh in dc and in all 50 states
and one of the concerns expressed by the
mayor of washington dc on sunday
was that because uh the federal
buildings here in dc are so fortified
and there's so much security in the
nation's capital
uh that that that would be protesters or
rioters
could target other parts of the city or
state capitals a cnn medical analyst
says the united states might have passed
the peak of new coronavirus cases
a few weeks ago health officials said
hospitalizations related to the disease
were at about 132 000 per day
now these hospitalizations are down to
124
000 per day so some improvement there
but a former commissioner from the u.s
food and drug administration says
there's a new variant of covet 19
a new strain of it that could cause
another increase in coronavirus cases
he says the silver lining there is that
a lot of people will have already been
infected with the disease and will be
immune to it
and a lot of others will be getting a
new emergency vaccine
this is how herd immunity is achieved
it's when most of a population becomes
immune to a disease
and it can happen in two main ways
either enough people have recovered from
the illness and developed immunity
naturally
or a drug like a vaccine prevents people
from getting sick in the first place
scientists don't know yet if the two
approved vaccines work against the new
coven variant
there's also been some confusion about
whether the second doses will be
available
drug makers say each of the approved
vaccines requires two shots
given a few weeks apart to be fully
effective and because the government
releasedall of its available doses to try to
give as many people as possible their
first shot
it's not clear if the second dose will
be available to everyone on time
the trump administration says it's
confident that ongoing vaccine
production will keep up with demand
if you've received the vaccine but
others around you haven't
you still have to follow precautions
that's because we don't know yet whether
the vaccine prevents you from being a
carrier of coronavirus
you could be immune from getting ill
yourself but might still transmit the
virus to others without knowing it
so if you are getting together with
members of your extended family who are
not vaccinated
make sure that everyone is still
following precautions
see one another outdoors with members of
different households
spaced at least six feet apart avoid
being indoors together
and wear masks if you must be some
people who have received the vaccine
might decide that they can take on risks
that they might not have before maybe
they want to travel
or get that hug from a grandchild
remember that the vaccine is still
not 100 effective so it's important to
keep up other measures like
masking to reduce risk also risk is
additive
so if you do one high risk activity
don't also
do others remember too that it takes
time for the vaccine to kick in
two dose vaccines require both doses to
be administered
then another two to three weeks to reach
a high level of immunity
trivia the terms starting zone track and
runout zone are typically used to
describe what
avalanches mudslides ski jumps or drag
strips
these are all terms to describe the
detachment of a large mass of snow and
ice
known as an avalanche
there are around 4 000 avalanches in
colorado every year
the colorado avalanche information
center says people trigger about 90
percent of these disasters
and morris or maurice kerwin is one of
those people
he says he knew conditions were risky on
january 8th when he and a friend were
snowboarding in the back country
a remote area near loveland pass his
quick thinking
and a survival airbag which you'll hear
give a whooshing sound in this next
report
are the likely reasons why he was able
to survive and record an avalanche
i was the trigger point for sure you'll
see me glance in the video above my
right shoulder
i'm watching the cracks go up the ridge
above me i
i didn't really panic much at all my
go-to
was to stay afloat at first
basically pull that strap
and it opens an air tank in your
backpackthat inflates the bag above your head
and so it kind of gives your back and
neck a little bit of shelter
come on
for 10 out of 10 today do you want to
build a snowman
well whether or not you do it's probably
not going to be quite this big
this is a snow monster a snow megalodon
a snow man it's 15 feet tall a family in
iowa put this thing together the young
man who led the way happens to be six
feet three inches tall
and he used an eight-foot ladder to top
it off rome wasn't built in a day
and neither was this thing the builders
just kept adding to it whenever they
could
when folks are home and frozen too the
next right thing
may be to venture into the unknown avoid
getting lost in the woods
and ask every friend who doesn't have a
frozen heart if they want to build a
snowman hey
some things never change coincidentally
it's a school in sioux
city iowa that gets today's shout out
talking about north high school
