Welcome to CNN 10 on this wednesday
January 27th. I'm Carl Azuz. Thank you for
taking 10 minutes for us
severe weather in the american southeast
leads off today's show
as we put this program together a search
and rescue operation was underway in the
u.s state of alabama
on monday night a deadly storm tore
through the town of fultondale a
northern suburb of birmingham
it killed at least one person and
injured dozens of others
fultondale's fire chief said 17 people
there were taken to the emergency room
for different injuries
and some of those are critical one
witness told al.com that it looked like
a bomb had gone off in the town of 9 000
people
causing serious damage to almost all of
the homes there
one county official said there wasn't
much warning the storm spawned a tornado
described as large and extremely
dangerous
it ripped up a hotel tore off part of a
church's roof
struck a high school damaged or
destroyed homes and businesses
and scattered power lines and debris
across the roads
the mayor of center point another
birmingham suburb reported quite a bit
of damage in his city of 16 000 people
and while he said that tuesday would be
a long day of assessing damage and
covering up places where walls
roofs or windows were missing he was
grateful that there were no
injuries in center point schools were
closed in the region
survivors said they were grateful to be
alive and that the community was pulling
together to help one another
the storm system prompted tornado
watches and warnings in alabama and
georgia
as it made its way across the region and
as it turned north
it was expected to bring heavy snow to
the mid-atlantic coast on tuesday night
when severe weather strikes one of the
most common questions we get what's the
difference between a watch and a warning
well
just for comparison's sake let's take
this stoplight green light yellow light
red light
sometimes the national weather service
will issue a hazardous weather outlook
an advisory treat this as a green light
know that the possibility of rough
weather
is there but go about your day as you
would just stay alert
but as conditions tend to ripen we may
seea tornado watch issued by the national
weather service
use this with more caution this means
conditions are favorable
for tornado development and so you need
to know what you should do
in case a tornado strikes that's where
the warning comes in
if the radar has indicated a tornado or
someone
has spotted a tornado in progress that's
when the tornado warning is issued and
you should get to your safe place
immediately
stop what you're doing and seek shelter
i'm matt rivers in manaus brazil a city
in the middle of the amazon rainforest
where the health system has all but
collapsed
due to a particularly brutal second wave
of covet 19
going on right now as a result the local
government has imposed a seven day
lockdown banning all non-essential
activity which is why streets like this
one behind me normally quite crowded
are now quite empty and this comes at a
particularly fraught time for brazil
overall which in recent days has seen
some of its highest
daily death counts from the coronavirus
since the pandemic began
i'm salmo abdouzis in london health
secretary matt hancock has said
this is not the moment to ease
restrictions his comments came
after new data showed that infection
rates are beginning to slow
but the key indicators are still very
poor hospitalization rates are high
there's more people on ventilators now
than there were during the first wave
of the pandemic authorities are
concerned about variants around the
worldthat's why hotel quarantines are being
considered by
officials and of course the vaccination
program millions more people
need to be vaccinated before these
restrictions can be lifted
i'm cerro vanier in paris european
countries are furious
at pharmaceutical giant astrazeneca
after it announced that it would be
delivering far
fewer doses of its vaccine to the eu
than expected
delaying its rollout until the end of
march the european health commissioner
says
drug makers working on the continent
will now have to notify the bloc
before exporting vaccines out of europe
the eu had pre-ordered and pre-financed
400 million doses of the astrazeneca
vaccine
which is expected to be approved by the
european medicines agency here on friday
i'm dave mackenzie in johannesburg dr
anthony fauci says that vaccines in
their current form
should be effective against variants
discovered of covert 19 here in south
africa
and the uk now that good news is backed
up by moderna
though they say their vaccine could be
slightly less effective
against the south african variant and
they are developing a booster shot
now despite this good news president
biden has
extended the travel restrictions to the
us to include
south africa which has been dealing with
a dramatic second wave
pushed by this more transmissible
variant ten-second trivia
which of these dog breeds is believed to
be the oldest afghan hound alaskan
malamute border collie or chihuahua
many scientists believe the afghan hound
originated in afghanistan at around
6000 bc making it the oldest breed on
this list
there's widespread disagreement over
what the oldest breed in the world
is some scientists say it's the akita
inu the basenji or the chinese saluki
and while the relationship between
people and dogs is known to go back
thousands of years researchers don't
know exactly when
or why dogs became domesticated as man's
best friend
but there are some new theories about
this and a related study was just
published in the proceedings of the
national academy of sciences
what researchers did was compare genetic
information gathered from
ancient human remains with the info
gathered from ancient dog remains
they say that some of the dogs found in
the americas have lineage that can be
traced back to ancient
siberian dogs so from that they
concluded that when people migrated from
northeast asia to the americas
the dogs came with them scientists
believe this happened more than 15 000
years ago over the bering land bridge
which no longer exists
the study's lead author theorized that
the dogs could have helped the people
carry their goods faster
and she suggested that people and dogs
might have gotten together in the first
placewhen humans allowed wolves to eat
whatever food people threw away
there's no definitive proof of this but
researchers are hoping to search for
older dog bones in the region of siberia
to get more evidence
so i guess you could say that some
scientific studies have gone to the dogs
hey speaking of dogs it's america's
first dogs that are the subject of our
last story today
champ and major have arrived at the
white house they're the k-9 best friends
of president joe biden
former president donald trump didn't
have pets at the white house during his
term he was the first president since
andrew johnson not to former president
barack obama got
bowed during his first term and sonny
came along four years later
and former president george w bush had
barney miss beasley and a cat named
india
the truth is cats and dogs haven't been
the only pets at the president's
residence
coolidge also had quite the menagerie a
bobcata pygmy hippo named billy lion cubs and
even a raccoon william taft had a cow
named pauline
the last cow to graze on the white house
lawn you could say
president theodore roosevelt had a zoo
of sorts at his white house
parrots bears zebras and yes a
one-legged chicken
but dogs have certainly been the most
popular president warren g
harding's dog was the first
first dog to be
regularly covered in the national press
herbert hoover had a dog he called king
tut
franklin d roosevelt's scottish terrier
was named fala
a statue of fala is featured beside
roosevelt
in the franklin delano roosevelt
memorial in washington d.c
the only presidential pet with such an
honor george w bush had barney
bill clinton buddy gerald ford had a
golden retriever
named liberty lyndon johnson brought
beagles named him and her to the white
housejfk had a dog named pushinka a gift from
the soviet premier
so it seems that many american leaders
had pet projects animals that were
catapulted into the national spotlight
companions that helped menageries the
pressures of office
when their masters got dog tired some
cats with nine lives got to spend one in
the first house
and even if all dogs go to heaven who
would have thought some would go from
the dog house to the white house
