edition of CNN 10.
I'm Carl Azuz. Hope you had a good
weekend it was over that weekend that
the u.s house of representatives passed
the biden administration's proposed
stimulus package for the u.s economy it
is not yet
law it must first pass the senate and
president joe biden has asked that
chamber to take quick action on the
legislation
this is the third major spending effort
by the u.s government to try to confront
the economic problems triggered by the
coronavirus pandemic
the two other stimulus packages came
last year under then president donald
trumpin march he signed one costing 2.2
trillion dollars
in december he signed another costing
900 billion dollars
president biden's proposed stimulus plan
would cost 1.9 trillion dollars
we have no time to waste if we act now
decisively quickly and boldly we can
finally get ahead of this virus
we can finally get our economy moving
again and the people of this country
have suffered far too much for too long
we need to relieve that suffering on
saturday the house voted 219 to 212
to move the bill forward all of the
votes to pass it came from democrats
but two democrats joined all 210
republicans in voting against the bill
will it help people get back to work no
will it help students get back in the
classroom immediately
no will it help get vaccines to those
who want it
the answer is no it is entirely partisan
and has the wrong priorities this
proposal is likely to see some changes
before the senate votes on it
as it stands now though it would include
direct payments of 1400
to many americans extra assistance to
people who've lost their jobs
money for state and local governments
and schools funding to distribute
vaccines and more covent tests that's
all part of it
so is a controversial part of the
legislation that would raise the u.s
federal minimum wage since 2009 it's
been set at 7.25 cents per hour
states and local governments can require
a higher minimum wage
and many of them do but the federal one
is the lowest wage
employers can pay in the united states
the biden administration's proposal
would more than double the minimum wage
to 15 dollars per hour by the year 2025
but political experts say that's one
part of the legislation that's likely to
be removed by the senate
the congressional budget office a
non-partisan government agency
estimates that increasing the minimum
wage would help 900 million americans
by raising their earnings above the
poverty level but the cbo
also estimates that doing this would
come at a cost of 1.4 million jobs
this is why federal minimum wage
proposals are difficult to get passed
through congress
if the senate does remove that part of
the stimulus plan the bill would then go
back to the house for another vote
before it can get to president biden's
desk for his signature
what has been the psychological impact
of the coronavirus pandemic
we've covered the costs in terms of
lives lost restrictions imposed
economies affected but health experts
and a number of studies
suggest the pandemic has taken a toll on
many people's mental health
healthline.com a medical information
website reports that signs of anxiety
and depression
have appeared in many american students
the us centers for disease control says
changes in routines missed vacations
celebrations and get-togethers
switching back and forth between
in-person and virtual learning
all of this can challenge the well-being
of children and young people
beyond the threat of getting sick and
while scientists don't know how serious
these psychological challenges are or
how long they'll last
the problem isn't limited to american
children
for 23 year old yasmin albidewa it was
last autumn that her dream of studying
in paris
hit the reality of the pandemic
so i was starting my studies and
thinking i'm going to arrive
make loads of friends join lots of
student societies try lots of activities
and then boom i'm stuck in a house all
alonebetween its four walls so yasmine took a
painting instead
but the pandemic has also cost her her
peace of mind
before she was able to teach arabic
classes to make ends meet
in the end the two difficult things to
deal with are the financial side and
then the psychological side
so for the financial side there is help
from authorities from associations
there are food distributions but for the
psychological side
we're really on our own after nearly a
year of lockdowns and restrictions
french authorities are warning of a
third wave not of covid
but of mental health issues including
among the country's more than a million
and a half university students
you're building your life you're
projecting down the road you you want to
become this you want to do this and that
and then
you cannot do anything you're stuck so
we have to let them know
right now we're in the middle of the
storm but we have still visualized where
we want to go
otherwise we'll get we're going to be
stuck in the storm
with no vision that creates despair but
despair
is not necessarily the only difficulty
for somethe time of their lives meant to be the
most footloose and fancy free
has become a matter of survival the line
here is for a food bank
set up in the heart of paris by students
who realize that some of their
classmates were no longer able to eat
i'm pleased we're the sacrifice
generation not only can we not have a
social life or go to class or get a
great quality education
on top of that we find ourselves in this
extremely precarious situation
floyd says that many students who had
been able to turn to their parents in
time of need
could no longer do so their parents too
he says
have lost their jobs the students coming
in here aren't just offered food but
also psychological support
this food distribution center can help
500 students each week
but the organizers say that the demand
is in fact at least
10 times that melissa bell cnn paris
ten-second trivia what species of
dolphin is the smallest
hector's dolphin rizzo's dolphin spinner
dolphin or dusky
the dolphin dolphins are hector's
dolphins they're usually around four to
five feet long and 100 pounds
and they are rare you will only find
hector's dolphins off the coast of new
zealand
and there's a subspecies of them called
maui dolphins whose population has
dwindled to just
a few dozen left in the wild the biggest
threat to maui dolphins is when they're
caught by accident in the fishing
industry
disease danger to their habitat and
tourism are also suspected in reducing
their numbers
but there's a new eye in the sky and by
that we mean a drone
that aims to help maui dolphins by
locating identifying
and following them the aircraft runs on
electric and gas power
it's estimated to cost around 150
thousand dollars
and its aim is to use artificial
intelligence technology to keep
close tabs on the 63 adult maui dolphins
that are still alive
on the opposite end of the dolphin
spectrum in terms of numbers at least
is the common dolphin how common is it
well exact numbers are hard to come by
but these mammals are often found in
pods by the thousand
they're common in all over the world
they're neither endangered nor
threatenedand when they stampede so to speak
they're a sight to see for sightseers
