after an in-depth interview with each
day of the week
we have definitively concluded that
fridays are awesome
My name is Carl Azuz. Happy to bring you
this friday's edition of CNN 10.
first today there's a standoff taking
place in india between the nation's
government and the nation's farmers
this country is often called the world's
largest democracy it has the world's
second largest population with 1.3
billion people
and more than half of those people make
their living in agriculture
india is very heavily reliant on farming
so what's this disagreement over
the indian government passed three new
laws last fall that many farmers don't
likethey concern the prices of certain crops
for decades the indian government
required farmers to sell the foods they
grew at state
auctions and the government guaranteed a
minimum price that farmers would get for
those foods
last year the government decided to
allow farmers to sell their crops
anywhere like grocery stores or to
buyers in other states
they no longer need to go through state
auctions but they also won't be
guaranteed the minimum price anymore
india's government says this will
increase market competition
and potentially the farmer's income but
if there's a lot of supply
the growers might not get as much money
for their crops and some farmers are
concerned that if large companies get
involved in the new buying and selling
structurethey could also drive crop prices down
below what used to be the minimum
large protests welled up soon after the
laws were passed and they've gotten
bigger since
witnesses say they've been mostly
peaceful but some marches did turn
violent in new delhi
and police used water cannons and tear
gas to keep demonstrators from entering
the capitol
negotiations have been going on for
months between the indian government and
the leaders of more than 30 farmers
unions but so far they haven't found a
compromise
and some protesting farmers say they're
not going anywhere until the new laws
are eliminated
multi-layered barricades concrete walls
barbed wire nails embedded on roads and
hundreds of security personnel
thoroughfares leading to india's capital
new delhi
have been fortified by police preventing
farmers and their supporters
from entering the city thousands of them
have encamped on this highway in gazipur
forover two months it's just one of the
three delhi borders where farmers have
been protesting
against three agricultural reforms
introduced by the government which they
fear
will threaten their livelihood
there's never a dull moment here while
some are busy playing cards
some others were spotted praying in
quiet corners of the camp
youngsters intermittently break the
routine with song and dance atop
tractors
dozens of people young and old are busy
cooking in community kitchens
and serving meals 36 year old farmer
khulib singh is one of them
while he feeds hundreds of supporters a
day his father back in the village
tends to their farm khalif has been at
the protest site for
almost 60 days
for over two months tarpaulin tents have
lined the highway where farmers spend
cold winter nights water tankers are
brought in by tractors for bathing
cooking and cleaning medical boots have
been
set up to tend to the sick volunteer
himanshi rana lives close to the protest
site
a private tutor by profession she spends
the daysat the camp himanshi says she attends to
almost 2
000
the government of india says that the
current new
agricultural reforms will give
expandable market access to farmers
and pave the way for economically and
ecologically sustainable farming
farmers disagree arguing they need
minimum
price guarantees vedic cnn
new delhi 10 second trivia
outside alaska the coldest temperature
ever recorded in the u.s was where
mount washington new hampshire rogers
pass montana greenfield wisconsin for
cavalier air force station north dakota
in 1954 a temperature of minus 70
degrees fahrenheit was recorded in
rogers pass
and this weekend places like rogers pass
probably won't see temperatures get
above zero degrees fahrenheit
unless you like ice storms arctic cold
and or
rain it's not looking like a pretty
valentine's day weekend for much of the
united states
meteorologists say that pesky polar
vortex is to blame
the low pressure system usually keeps
arctic air bottled up at the north pole
but when it gets unstable in winter as
it is now the polar vortex allows that
air to spill
south and then well cold nearly 75
million americans are under winter
weather alerts
they're spread from coast to coast
there's a rare blizzard warning in
portland oregon
and there's a belt of weather advisories
stretching from central texas to
southern connecticut
in the middle of that belt from arkansas
to kentucky forecasters are predicting
dangerous ice accumulation that can
knock out power and damaged trees
temperatures in several areas are
expected to break records
wind chills will make them feel even
more harsh here's cnn 10 contributor
tyler malden
there are two ways to measure
temperature during the winter months
carl number one
is the actual reading on your
thermometer number two
is how cold your body perceives it to be
which we call the windchill
you've probably also heard it called the
feels-like temperature
it means exactly what you may think the
wind makes it feel
colder than it really is you know when
it's frigid and the air has a bite to it
because the wind is howling and it just
hurts to be outside
there's a long equation as you can see
here that tells us
exactly what that feels like temperature
can be given a certain temperature and
wind speed
make sure you memorize this equation
because there will be a quiz later
just kidding thankfully researchers at
the national weather service
have crunched the numbers and compiled
it into a chart for all of us to see
their research tells us whenever the
thermometer drops below 50 degrees
fahrenheit
and the wind blows by at least three
miles per hour
wind chill begins it also tells us
the colder and windier it turns the
bigger the wind chill will be
this matters because hypothermia can
occur quickly when the wind chill is low
and when it's extremely low like -50
frostbite can set in within minutes
here's how this occurs
your body creates its own warm bubble of
air just above the skin thanks to
conduction
it's what helps naturally keep you at a
healthy temperature
when your bare skin gets exposed to the
cold air and wind
the wind will whisk away that insulating
layer making you feel much colder
and unable to warm this can all be
avoided by not venturing outside during
the coldest hours
when wind chill alerts have been issued
and if you do have to go outside
in the extreme cold cover every part of
your body from your nose to your toes
and remember mittens are better than
gloves the opposite of a windchill can
occur too carl
it's called the heat index which you
hear us talk about during the summer
season
and is when your body has trouble
cooling down
we're not coming in from the cold just
yet there are some upsides to living in
a winter wonderland over a period of six
yearsa father in the european nation of
latvia built a bobsled track
and now we finally know how people get
into this sport
the track is more than 550 feet long the
man says he used old furniture to build
it and only spent maybe 60 bucks for the
screws that hold it all together
his motivation his love of building the
love of his kids
and the desire to keep them from sitting
in front of screens during the winter
hey billy i got a new hot wheels track
hey timmy
i got a new bobsled track and now the
kids can talk bobsled smack
it's like a winter slip and slide it's
an ice treat you can ride
and if that olympic sized effort doesn't
slide those kids into the olympic games
well maybe it's them who are just
slipping off track
I'm Carl Azuz and you know who's not
slipping off track the sidwell friends
school in washington DC
