Hi, I'm Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN 10 where
fridays are awesome
of course they're awesome in a lot of
places but as long as you're here let's
see what's cooking in the world and
beyond
we'll start in the u.s senate it's busy
there are several major tasks on
senator's to-do list
they include president joe biden's
cabinet nominees his new
administration's economic stimulus
proposal
and an upcoming impeachment trial for
former president donald trump
the presidential cabinet includes the
vice president the white house chief of
staff
intelligence and council leaders and the
heads of 15 executive departments
the secretaries of agriculture defense
education
labor the constitution does not
establish or require a cabinet
but every president since george
washington has had one
and the senate has the responsibility of
either confirming or rejecting the
president's cabinet nominees the chamber
is considering some of president biden's
right nowso that's one thing it's working on
another is a new
1.9 trillion dollar stimulus proposal
the trump administration
signed two major stimulus packages last
year one
cost more than two trillion dollars the
other was 900 billion
these are intended to help with the
economic problems brought on by the
coronavirus pandemic
and the biden administration's new
proposal will be debated by both the
senate and the house of representatives
speaking of the house it voted earlier
this month to impeach
or formally charge president trump with
incitement of insurrection
his accusers say his statements at a
large rally on january
6th encouraged some of the people there
to later riot at the u.s capitol
building
his supporters say his statements were
appropriate and that he never called for
violenceit's up to the senate to decide whether
to convict or acquit the former
presidentand there are questions about the timing
of all of this how much can the chamber
do
and how quickly with several major
assignments on its plate
and a 50-50 political split with an
equal number of democrats and
republicans in the senate
any tie it has will be broken by us vice
president kamala harris a democrat
ten-second trivia what kind of weather
would you most likely observe on the
moondust storms lightning wind storms or
none
scientists say the moon has no weather
so there's never a rainy day there
so the boot prints that were first made
there in 1969
the american flag that was planted the
three buggies that astronauts drove
across the moon it's all still there
and the u.s congress passed a law late
last year to legally protect american
landing sites on the moon
a university of mississippi law
professor compared this to the same way
more earthly laws have protected
historic human sites like machu picchu
well maybe not the exact same way
critics say it'd be tougher to monitor
and enforce laws on sites that are 239
000 miles away especially when we don't
currently have the technology to get a
person there
but back to the law the idea behind the
one small step
act is to require companies that work
with nasa on moon missions
to make sure they help preserve the
landing sites of the apollo missions
people are expected to return to the
moon in the years ahead several
countries are working on that
and though the one small step act is
limited it concerns only u.s
moon landing sites and applies only to
companies working with nasa
it is the first law of its kind
concerning our only natural satellite
western new york northern michigan and
northeastern ohio
all have something in common and it's
not just snow it's
lake effect snow all three of these
areas have either seen it or are about
to see it this week
lake effect snow can come down quickly
three to five inches per hour
and it can occur anywhere in the world
as long as there's a body of water and
the weather is cold enough
a cnn meteorologist named chad myers who
grew up in buffalo new york
describes lake effect snow as one of the
coolest things on the planet
a cnn 10 contributor named tyler malden
describes how it forms tyler carl
the great lakes can act as a natural
snow machine during the fall and winter
months
it's no wonder that some of the snowiest
cities in the continental us are near
these lakes
for example in a given year erie
pennsylvania sees about 80 inches of
snow
cleveland ohio sees nearly 60 inches and
syracuse new york can pick up well north
of 100 inches of snow
the reason is lake effect snow which
occurs on average
from november to february this is when
outbreaks of coal below freezing air
tend to spill down from the north over
warm above freezing lake waters
the below freezing temperatures moving
over the warm open water is the fuel
for the snow machine it doesn't stop
until the lakes are completely frozen
which can take months to occur since
water cools slowly
lake effect snow vans develop when warm
air rises up from the lake and gets
evaporated into the cold atmosphere
above
this produces narrow bands of clouds and
precipitation in the form of snow
the direction of the wind and the time
it spins over the unfrozen water
what we call the fetch determines how
much snow falls
the bands that develop are often only a
few miles wide and may only extend
inland
around 25 miles these lake effect snow
bands carl
are so narrow that you can experience a
huge difference over just a few miles
one city or town could see snow that is
measured in feet with whiteout
conditions and impossible travel
meanwhile just a town over there is
green grass and sunshine
if you're not a fan of lake effect snow
or any snow for that matter
take a trip with us to a place that
pretty much never sees it except on its
mountain peaks
the central african nation of kenya it
sits
on the equator not a cold place in any
season but while you wouldn't go there
for the skiingthere are some amazing reasons to visit
when there's not a pandemic
going on and cnn 10 contributor chris
james tells us what they are
hey carl as you know in the midst of
this cold and dreary winter
i've been doing a lot of daydreaming
about the places and sites i'd like to
see in the future
and today i want to tell you about the
one wildlife phenomenon in africa
that has captivated millions of people
around the world
for generations welcome to the masai
mara reserve in kenya this is one of the
most well-known
and important wilderness areas in all of
africa
home to the so-called big five lions
elephants buffalo leopards and rhinos
it's one of the most popular safari
destinations in the world this is one of
those rare places where you're actually
able to get
up close and personal with some of our
planet's most majestic mammals
on safari humans are the ones in small
enclosed spaces
usually reinforced suvs like these and
the animals are the ones
freely roaming the land that they call
home just like they did at the dawn of
time
and just take a look at this video of
the great migration
each and every year between june and
december one of the world's largest
and longest animal migrations take place
right here
over two million wildebeests zebras
gazelles
and other animals travel across the
serengeti
into kenya's masai mara in pursuit of
greener
pastures herds of wildebeest can often
be seen stretching across
25 miles now august is typically the
busiest month
for tourists to visit kenya with around
250
000 visitors but with the coronavirus
pandemic decimating the country's
tourism industry this past year
officials are expecting a return to
normal levels
by early 2022 back to you carl
for years a retired teacher named
richard escobado has been looking for
his lost class ring
still hasn't found it but in his visits
to pawn shops and antique stores
he's come across a lot of other people's
lost rings so he's made it a mission to
buy theminspect them use them to track down
their original owners
and return the lost rings to their
rightful hands he's found 49 class rings
so far and says he's doing all of this
to pay it forward
he hopes one day someone will return his
long-lost ring
the teacher's got class and the story's
got a ring and returning the bling the
thing he's doing is
reuniting some stunning sterling with
the digit that would fidget with it
before it would sell or ditch it missing
all the weight with which it used to
linger on the finger the pinky or the
ringer wrapped in all the ways they
remember their school days

best but saint anthony school is at its
best the students watching from maui
