great to have you watching CNN 10 again
I'm Carl Azuz with an objective look at
events happening worldwide
we're bringing you up to speed right now
on the us senate's impeachment trial of
former president donald trump
first it's over on saturday the former
leader was found
not guilty of the charge of incitement
of insurrection
the house of representatives brought
that charge after a riot occurred at the
u.s capitol on january 6th
then president trump had spoken to
supporters at a massive rally earlier
that day
his accusers said his words encouraged
some of the people there to violently
protest at the capitol building
afterward
his defenders said he only encouraged a
peaceful protest
and wasn't responsible for the riot
after the house impeaches or formally
charges a president with a crime
the senate decides whether to convict or
acquit the leader
that chambers proceedings wrapped up
quickly late last week ahead of the
valentine's and president's day holidays
57 senators voted to find former
president trump
guilty of the house charge that included
all 50 of the senate's democrats
plus seven republicans 43 senators all
republicans
voted to find former president trump not
guilty for a leader to be convicted
the constitution says that two-thirds of
the senate or
67 members must find the president
guilty the final count was 10 votes
short of thatso former president trump was acquitted
one of the republican senators who voted
against himsaid that former president trump was
responsible for inciting the violence at
the capitol
and that the charge rose to the level of
quote high crimes and misdemeanors
that's the phrase the constitution uses
as a reason to impeach a president
former president trump's attorney says
his client was vindicated
and that quote the political witch hunt
that the democrats had thrown at him was
defeated
president trump is the first american
leader to be impeached twice by the
house
and acquitted twice by the senate he and
the trump organization are still the
subjects of various legal investigations
outside the federal government as one
american political storm comes to an
end an american winter storm is isilly
raking its way across the country
here's cnn 10 contributor tyler molden
we have this arctic air plunging down
across the plains and if it's
not below freezing below zero where you
liveit certainly feels like it's below zero
we have wind chill warnings in effect
from canada all the way to texas for the
first time in history
houston texas is under a windchill
warning temperatures are about 50
degrees below
average for your monday that's going to
last right on into tuesday
and are we going to see records broken
yes absolutely over the next 48 hours we
have the potential of seeing 250
cold record temperatures or cold
temperature records rather
we also have the snow too and the ice as
well you can see that here in fact down
in southeast texas
we're dealing with not just thunder snow
but thunder ice
in houston texas and this is going to be
moving to the northeast and that is the
reason why
we have winter storm warnings from the
southern plains
all the way to new england as this low
pressure system ejects to the northeast
it's going to bring heavy snow
it's going to bring that cold air with
it and it's also going to bring the
threat for ice and it's really the ice
that is going to be problematic for us
over the next few days some hopeful news
concerning coronavirus in america
the number of new daily cases continues
to decrease
this chart tracks the number of positive
tests recorded in the u.s
since last march and the total number of
deaths since then in which covid19 was
blamed as a factor
since early january the numbers have
steadily dropped
and officials say it's not just because
of vaccinations
as only about four percent of the
population has received both vaccine
doses
two major reasons they say new cases are
declining
one people are reportedly doing a better
job of wearing masks and keeping their
distance from one another
and two doctors think there have been so
many infections in some places that
people have developed natural immunities
to the virus
new variants or mutations of covid19
could still cause new infections
and it's still unknown where and how the
virus originated
the leader of the w.h.o mission to china
investigating the origins of the
coronavirus has told
cnn the virus was likely much wider
spread
in china in december 2019 than was
thought
peter ben and barak revealed the 174
positive cases found that first december
likely severe cases meant there could
actually have been an estimated
thousand plus total cases in and around
the city of wuhan that month
the virus was circulating widely in
wuhan in december which
i think is a is a new is a new finding
and the hundred are laboratories
confirmed and
74 are uh clinically diagnosed
about 174 would suggest a thousand or so
plus
even yeah probably
very likely yeah because that's
again that would fit with all the other
parameters that
that we have looked at the team also
established that in that first december
there were as many as
13 slight variations of the virus
from samples of all or bits of its
genetic code
circulating in and around wuhan where
this seafood market is thought
to have played a role we have 13 strains
covering covering individuals
in december some of them are from the
market or into the market some of them
are not linked to the market though this
is something
we found as part of our mission
that many variations so early on could
suggest
the virus had been circulating for some
time some analysts told cnn
although precise timing is still unclear
their work
heavily scrutinized tense in frustrating
conditions
