It's time for your daily
down the middle explanation of world
news this is CNN 10 and I'm Carl Azuz
thank you for watching
in the united states senate an
impeachment trial is set to begin
tuesday for former u.s president donald
trump
last month the house of representatives
voted to charge president trump with
incitement of insurrection
his accusers say his statements at a
large rally on january 6
inspired some of the people there to
later riot at the u.s capitol building
his supporters say the former president
only called for a peaceful protest
it's now up to the senate to decide
whether to find the former leader guilty
or not guilty
the chamber's 100 senators will serve as
jurors for the trial
the constitution requires a vote of
two-thirds or 67
senators to convict a president
otherwise the leader will be found not
guiltythere are currently 50 democrats and 50
republicans serving in the senate
and political analysts say it is very
unlikely that two-thirds of them will
vote to convict the republican former
president
there's also a debate going on about
whether it's constitutional to hold an
impeachment trial for someone who's no
longer in office
former president trump's supporters call
the trial political theater by democrats
since he's now out of office and a
private citizen but some legal experts
say the house impeached him while he was
stillpresident and that the senate has the
power to prevent someone from running
for office again
as well as removing someone from power
so all eyes will be on the senate in the
days ahead
at this point experts think its trial
will be wrapped up within three weeks
new variants or strains of covid19 are
appearing around the world as it mutates
like other viruses do
and one big question being asked is will
existing vaccines protect people against
the new versions of coronavirus
the short answer is scientists don't
know yet one of these new covent strains
was first seen in south africa
and several drug makers say early tests
indicate their vaccines
aren't as effective against the south
african strain as they are against the
dominant strain spreading in the u.s
two companies mederna and pfizer say
they may develop
booster shots if their existing vaccines
don't work against new coronavirus
strains
america has seen a decrease in recent
covid19
infections on sunday just over 88 000
new positive tests were reported in the
country
it was the first day this year that
fewer than 100 000 were reported
but a medical expert told cnn that the
u.s could be in the eye of the hurricane
meaning a decrease in cases that's only
temporary because of the new disease
variants that are spreading
i'm david mckenzie in bland time malawi
scientists now say that the oxford
astrazeneca
vaccine has only minimal effect in
preventing
mild and moderate versions of covert 19.
the south african government
is pausing the rollout of its vaccine
and here in malawi
they have no vaccines to speak of at all
and the health system
is buckling under pressure we were in
the covert 19 wards
where only a few doctors are not sick to
help patients
get over this brutal second wave i'm
abdulaziz in london where future plans
are being drawn to deal with future
variants the uk's vaccine minister says
an annual booster immunization shot
could be used
to deal with future variations of
coronavirus this comes as
news studies from oxford university and
astrazeneca show
very limited efficacy when it comes to a
variant of covet 19 that's prevalent
in south africa the scientists at oxford
university behind this vaccine
say they plan to have a new form of it
that can deal with that south africa
variantby the fall
i'm angus watson in melbourne where the
australian open began with 30
000 tickets on sale on monday but stars

ten-second trivia which of these african
nations is located on the eastern shore
of lake
kibu rwanda kenya tanzania or zimbabwe
the nation of rwanda one of africa's
most densely populated countries borders
lake kibu
there's a bird species native to the
region that likes to dance
the grey crowned crane stomps its feet
to startle insects from the ground which
the bird then eats
but according to the denver zoo the
animals also bust out in flash mob style
dancing just because they like it
that's only part of their appeal for a
rwandan conservationist who wants to
keep the animals alive
this is not your typical love story
but in the lush grasses of this rwandan
nature reserve
romance is in the air finding a partner
is a process
like human zoo they will date dance for
each other and
if they like each other they will stay
together for some time for life
grey crowned cranes are an endangered
species
facing threats from an illegal pet trade
and
the destruction of their wetland habitat
for agriculture
to help protect these birds in 2014 the
rwandan government
set up an amnesty program for pet cranes
kept in captivity
with the help of this man olivier in
sengimana
we've lost about 80 percent of the
population and in 2012 we're estimating
the population to be around
300 remaining in the wild i told myself
someone has got to do
something about it you quick listen to
thebreathing and trained as a vet and
sengimana is the founder of the rwandan
wildlife
conservation association hello buddy
looks like here we have like a little
injury on the toenail his organization
has rescued over 200
cranes from captivity and more are bred
in their facilities
like this juvenile these are flight
feathers they are really
in good shape but many kept as pets have
had their wings broken
to prevent their escape and are unable
to survive in the wild
finding sanctuary at the organization's
nature reserve
at umusambi village cranes in rwanda
they are seen as a symbol of wealth and
the longevity
so what we've done is really to educate
people tell them hey
um actually we could still love them but
i have them in their
natural environment but if we keep
taking them
our kids our grandkids might not be able
to see them
and sengimana remembers his own
childhood in a rural village
was filled with cranes we didn't have tv
we didn't have like
toys so everywhere we went we would see
like animals and one of the biggest was
a crane we really
took time to watch them wanting to fly
like them
growing up as a young boy i had
he has shared through his work with
schools and local community groups
since 2014
educating and inspiring others to
protect their environment
he wants rwandans to feel like the
country's wildlife belongs to them
we come from these communities we have
that kind of power to really
connect with them and recreate that kind
of love and the
ownership and pride that people have in
the animals
that love has taken flight
and sengimana says there are now over
800 cranes estimated to be in the wild
in rwanda
putting the country's most romantic bird
on the path to recovery this is really a
hugesuccess story that we share with all one
and thatif we work together if we can bring
everyone on boardwe can achieve the unachievable
