We're only a day away from Friday
awesome and we're delivering a brand new
edition of CNN 10. I'm Carl Azuz. Happy
to have you with us
international tensions over an
international nuclear deal are our first
subject today
the middle eastern country of iran has a
nuclear program that other countries
want to stop
iran has said its nuclear research is
for peaceful purposes like electricity
the united states and several other
countries around the world
don't think that's the truth they're
concerned iran is using its technology
to try to build a nuclear weapon
over the years there have been a number
of efforts to pressure the middle
eastern country to stop its nuclear
programthe united states imposed sanctions
penalties on iran's economy
to try to get the country to change
course but in 2015
the u.s led six other nations in a
controversial agreement with iran
these countries removed their economic
sanctions allowing tens of billions of
dollars to flow
into iran and in exchange that country
agreed to limit its nuclear program
for 15 years and allow international
inspectors to verify it was living up to
its promise
at the time the u.s government was led
by president barack obama
his administration said the deal was the
best way to prevent iran from building
nuclear weapons
critics called it a bad deal saying it
didn't go far enough because iran would
eventually build them anyway
one of those critics was america's next
president donald trump
he announced in 2018 that the u.s was
leaving the agreement and reinstating
its economic penalties on iran
at first the middle eastern country said
it would honor its commitment to the
deal with the five other nations
involved
but in recent years iran has not been
doing that and it said this week it
would no longer cooperate with certain
inspections of its nuclear facilities
however iran also suggested its decision
could be changed
if the united states once again removes
its sanctions on the middle eastern
country
analysts say this is all meant to put
pressure on the biden administration
president joe biden who is vice
president under barack obama
wants to restart negotiations with iran
and while the u.s and iran have both
said it's up to the other country to
make the first move
the biden administration suggested last
week that it is open to holding talks
with iraneven before any changes are made

some of the unusual side effects of the
coronavirus pandemic and the lockdowns
related to
it include the infamous toilet paper
shortages of 2020.
there's been a worldwide bike shortage
with demand through the roof after gyms
closed and people looked to get outside
for exercise
in the animal kingdom when yosemite
national park closed last year
bears were cited walking down a road
that was usually
packed with tourists in their cars
without people on the beach in thailand
and florida
larger numbers of sea turtles were
spotted foxes on a boardwalk in toronto
canada
lions taking a catnap on a south african
road the list goes on and on
and unfortunately in the capital of the
united kingdom it includes a
proliferation of
rats and they're not just in the
historic parts of london
there in the parks up the pipes and
heading towards the kitchen near you
lockdown london has become a boom town
for the capitals rats
left unchecked and shuttered shops and
restaurants over the winter
and now making their way out of the
inner city and into the suburbs
look at this rat trying to get into the
house according to the british pest
control association rodent sightings
increased 51
during the first lockdown and 78 percent
thereafter
prompting fears the uk capital could
soon become
famous for the super rats that once
blighted paris
and new york underneath that there'll be
a summit
right like a hole to let water out
exactlyif it's screwed out because people get
lazy because they won't do it and they
come up to avoid that the city needs
prevention like this
it's just before daybreak on the banks
of the river thames
and former soldier michael coats is
patrolling the refuge sites
looking for the telltale signs what you
can also find especially in heavy
populations of rats
they'll start gnawing and this plastic's
really easy for rats to know
fewer people on the streets has made
rats more conspicuous
do you ever see rats i've seen one
only a little one rats and pigeons and
everything yeah
two you think there probably is
something in that there'd be definitely
stuff in here yeah oh definitely
and more abundant waste from lockdown
homes has lured them to backyards
we're certainly seeing our spike in in
rats migrating back into people's
gardens beginning of last year we got a
really bad case in someone's garden
she was an elderly lady and she'd seen a
few rats and by the time we'd got there
there was maybe 10 or 15 rats
and it'd become this really big issue
rats have always been a part of london
life but nobody really knows how many
there are in the capital
that's because usually they're pretty
elusive they do however outnumber the
human population and they multiply
really fast just one pair of breeding
rats can give rise to 1250
in one year as their population swells
rats themselves are getting bigger and
harder to catch some are immune to
poison others
have figured out how to avoid traps
exterminator paul clayden has never been
so busy
well i would say probably call-outs has
increased around about 50 for me
do you think that when london eventually
reopens they're going to realize they've
gotone big rat problem i think that's right
and i think a lot of commercial
businesses have
been empty for so long i think when they
start going back to these properties and
certainly businesses that haven't got
pest control
contracts involved they might find
themselves going to have a big surprise
the mayor's office doesn't have a rodent
plan and many local governments don't
offer free pest control either
meaning businesses and homeowners are
often left to their own devices
to deal with their new host pandemic
neighbors

it can be said that desserts like the
meals that precede them
have different levels of culinary
constitution
you have your basics like cookies
cupcakes ice cream
and then you've got your gourmet goodies
like tiramisu
apple crumble and oreo ice cream pie now
we're not saying any one of these is
better than any other
but some pastry chefs in denver are
blending the basics with the gourmet
and the result is high interest if not
low calorie
it was really a challenge at first
trying to figure out
how we were going to turn a cookie
that's already made
into an ingredient for another dessert
[Music]
felt like i was kind of on a one of
those cooking competitions where it was
like okay
here's your cookie now go
[Music]
it might drive health nuts nuts and
people who panna gotta avoid sweets they
might find just the sight of all that
pure torture
but for others getting from gourmet to
be is a moose
they're not putting up with anything
they can't cobbler up they
relish a clear choice when it comes to
their just desserts to pick something
flantastic
and that takes the cake shout out today
