My name is Carl Azuz this is CNN 10. as
of Sunday
there were more than 14 million people
in the u.s state of texas who still
didn't have reliable running water
authorities were able to get electricity
running again for many of them
though tens of thousands were still in
the dark in the cold over the weekend
and outside thermometers finally climbed
back up to the 60s and 70s on sunday
following a week of record cold
temperatures and record amounts of snow
that led to record-breaking demand for
electricity in the state
and that coincided with several major
sources of power breaking down
water pipes froze and burst in unheated
homes water pipes froze and burst in
hundreds of water systems
problems were reported in more than
thirteen hundred public systems last
weekthat affected four-fifths of all the
counties in texas
and roughly half the state's population
many people were put under boil water
advisories
that means that even if their water was
running it might not have been safe to
drink
so residents were advised either to use
bottled water or to boil
for one minute any tap water they plan
to use for drinking
preparing food brushing teeth or even
giving to pets
there have been some uplifting stories
that have come out of texas hardships
volunteers have been giving away hot
meals and warm clothing to those in need
a furniture store owner opened his
business to thousands of people who came
in for warmth
and he allowed hundreds to sleep on his
new mattresses which he'll later sell at
a discount
many other texans who've been hunkered
down without somewhere else to go
have been using snow to keep systems
running in their homes
the water's not even bubbling
the lights may be on but across parts of
texas
the water isn't drinking water still
needed
there is a panic mode that we didn't
have enough drinking water we would love
showers but
we will we'll get that when we when we
get our water turned back on
texans waiting in long lines just to
pick up cases of water
with nearly half of the state under boil
water advisories
this is a community of people that are
scared and upset and
angry we're eventually going to need
some better answers for right now we're
just trying to get water to our
neighborsbut it's not just drinking water some
residents can't even flush the toilet
without melting snow we relocated back
to our house
five adults and two dogs and we started
harvesting snow
because we had also lost water at that
pointharvesting snow for toilet water
president joe biden approving a major
disaster declaration for texas
freeing up more help from fema you know
when disaster strikes this is not just
an
issue for texans this is an issue for
our entire country
disasters don't strike everyone equally
when you already have so many families
in the state and across the country that
are on the brink
that can't even afford an emergency to
begin with when you have a disaster like
this
it can just set people back for years
and as residents wait for the water and
power to come back
some still forced to use their cars for
warmth
others if they're lucky find shelter in
a hotel
the guests frankly it's been the
equivalent of camping indoors
and moving forward officials here are
going to start looking at what exactly
went wrong over this past week and among
what they're investigating
is that many customers here in texas
reported getting extremely high power
bills evenamid this catastrophe so texas officials
are investigating that and then on the
waterfront
when could we see the water come back to
texas well
in some places we're well on our way in
houston for example they've reached that
minimum threshold for water pressure
and here in austin officials are
optimistic they can get water
city-wide by the end of the weekend
the first pictures have come in from
nasa's latest mission to mars
last thursday the 2.7 billion dollar
mission logged the ninth successful mars
landing by the united states
that's significant in part because
roughly half the missions to the red
planet have failed
the perseverance rover has been going
through a series of checks after
arriving on mars surface sending back
these images is one of the first things
it's done
perseverance landed in a crater where
scientists think a lake might have been
billions of years ago so over the course
of its two-year mission
perseverance is set to travel 15 miles
investigating the crater and its rocks
ten-second trivia which of these
countries has a national holiday that
marks an event from 1789
united kingdom morocco france or
argentina
france's national holiday marks the
anniversary of the storming of the
bastille prison
in france right now schools are open
certain shops are open
churches and public libraries are open
you have to wear a mask everywhere you
goand almost everything shuts down by six
o'clock p.m
in fact the coronavirus related curfew
requires most french men and women to
stay at home from dusk to dawn
and restaurants movie theaters gyms and
museums they're all shut down
that includes the louvre one of the most
famous museums on the planet
it usually costs about 18 dollars to get
inside but the doors have been shut to
visitors since october and while the
museum has
lost millions in revenue during this
time it has gained an opportunity to
catch up on quiet projects
the world's most visited museum awakens
but there are no visitors here
escalators that once carried forty
thousand pairs of feet a day
whistle in the eerie emptiness brought
on by covered restrictions
liberty and the mona lisa are having a
break
from their usual crowds of admirers what
were bustling calls
now take mere minutes to walk through
sculptures
forced into hibernation in this
renaissance palace
but they're not completely alone
it's still living even though it seems
reallyasleep from the outside since october
when the louvre closed
hundreds of artisans have been working
five days a week
to refurbish and rejuvenate with a
stroke of a brush
or the crank of a forklift we have all
the arts thatare being stored or just
studied by the the curators we have
all the maintenance work that obviously
can't stop
so it's really rewarding the stakes are
pretty high let's say
you don't want to to spoil what people
have have been
building in centuries not since world
warii has the louvre been shuttered to the
public for so long
last year it lost 90 million euros in
revenue
but curators here say they have gained
something more valuable
time this exposition is
these 19th century doors that once
opened into the bedchamber of french
kings
are being restored to their former
beauty and you have these different
layers
that are meant to recreate all in all
the veins of the wood
because you have you know so many
different colors
when you look that closely
see
well these doors will be finished in
three weeks
when the louvres will reopen is anyone's
guess
the belief here is that art comes alive
through the public's eye
until then the museum prepares for its
resurrection
sasuke vandoorne cnn paris
from trying to catch it to enjoying
fresh eggs to frying it up
there are many fun things you can do
with the chicken but putting one on a
sled
ten out of ten hey look here are some
beautiful pictures of the snow who cares
get to the chicken
that's more like it this chicken's name
is donut
excellent start and when the kids on
this farm in tennessee go sledding
donut comes along now before you say
they're only just holding her on the
sled not so fast hater
donut sled solo and nothing about this
exceptional scene suggests she sees
sledding as a foul idea
the question is did she get any coaching
she looks like she's having an orping
ton of fun
in the silky snow and they didn't have
to air and con her into it she looks
like she was hoping for snow all well
summer and if the visibility gets bad
she could always use her fog horn leg
horni mean donut should count herself clucky
that she has such a winging family
