Hi I'm Carl Azuz. We are
wrapping up the week here on CNN 10 your
daily overview of world events
and of course we're always happy to have
you watching the us house of
representatives just held a hearing on
the issue of discrimination and violence
against
asian americans experts say these
problems have been increasing since the
coronavirus pandemic began early last
yearthe disease outbreak started in china
and chinese americans have been the
group targeted the most frequently in
the u.s
that's according to the non-profit
social organization stop
aapi hate aapi standing for asian
american pacific islander communities
it says it's received roughly 3 800
complaints of harassment and violence
against asian americans
since march 19th of last year that's
when stop aapi hate began tracking this
information
so it doesn't have perspective on how
that compares to the year 2019
before the pandemic it also says most of
the complaints it's received are not
hate crimes that 68 of them are reports
of verbal harassment
20 percent involved what the group
called shunning or avoidance
and 11 percent included physical assault
but experts say hate crimes against
asian americans did increase
by almost 150 percent last year in
american cities
and the house hearing aimed to address
the recent surge in discrimination
as well as the history of what's been
directed at asian americans which dates
back to the 1800s a hate crime is
defined as a criminal offense motivated
by bias
or prejudice now hate itself is not a
crime and hate speech
is protected by the first amendment the
term hate crime
only came into common use in the 1980s
butthose kinds of crimes of course existed
long before
we used this official label for them
laws to protect against what we now call
hate crimes didn't come around until the
1960s
propelled by the civil rights movement
the civil rights act of 1964 paved the
way
for the first federal hate crime
legislation in 1968
it was the hate crimes prevention act of
2009
that added federal protections against
crimes committed on the basis of gender
disability and sexual orientation
as far as tracking hate crimes the fbi
didn't even begin
doing that until the 1990
following the passage of the hate crime
statistics act
of 1990 hate crimes cannot
be tolerated in a free society
but when we try to understand just how
many of these crimes are being
committed we see that the data is
incomplete
for a lot of reasons the department of
justice notesmost hate crimes themselves are not
reported to law enforcement
victims are sometimes afraid to report
these types of crimes
and for the crimes that are reported it
can be challenging to prove an
offender's intent
on top of that the very definition of
what a hate crime is
varies from state to state
ten-second trivia which of these
scientific discoveries was confirmed in
1758
haley's comet gravity bernoulli's
principle or penicillin
even though edmund haley died in 1742
his prediction that the famous comet
would returncame true in 1758
scientists say that back in october 2017
the first interstellar object that's
ever been observed
flew through our solar system they
estimated it was traveling at 196
000 miles per hour and since then it has
disappeared
but they've continued to study and try
to understand it ever since
at first researchers thought it could
have been a comet but in comparing it to
another interstellar comet
this one they found that the new object
had a mysterious tumbling motion as it
flewand that it didn't have a cometary tail
now
there's a new theory that the pancake
shaped object was part of a dwarf planet
like pluto
that somehow broke off from another
solar system and traveled near hours
[Music]
this object is simply a piece of another
solar system
that was expelled and it has been
traveling through interstellar space
for hundreds of millions of years
billions of years we don't know
[Music]
we don't see that in our solar system
none of the asteroids in our solar
system look like that so it's
very puzzling how it could have obtained
this shape

we're taking you on a trip down us-1
today it's also known as the overseas
highway that connects mainland florida
with key west
in the early 20th century this was the
route of henry flagler's overseas
railroad that connected the keys
but after that was partially destroyed
by the labor day hurricane of 1935
a highway was built over the railroad
and since it was completed in 1938
it's allowed drivers to access the
southernmost point in the united states
here's cnn 10 contributor chris james
hey carl as i've told you before i am a
huge fan of road trips
you know sunglasses on windows down
blasting the music as high as you can
nothing beats it so for today's virtual
field trip i am taking you on one of the
most
incredibly beautiful highways in the
country
this is the overseas highway which takes
you from the mainland of florida
all the way to key west which is the
southernmost point of the continental
united states
the road is 112 miles long and for much
of the drive you literally have a 360
degree view of the ocean
on both sides of the car the florida
keys are a collection of small islands
that curveoutwards into the atlantic ocean while
most people make this trip with the
eventual goal of getting to key west
there are plenty of other cool stops
along the way
if you are like me and you're interested
in discovering places
that are a bit off the beaten path one
stop you can make is in marathon florida
legend has it that this city got its
name from the workers who put in
massive labor to build a railroad
through the keys
the work they said was a real marathon
get it
the name stuck and today you can go
there to visit the turtle hospital
now another really cool stop on this
drive is in key largo
this is one of the best spots in the
world for scuba divers
a few miles offshore the sandy ocean
floor is filled with natural and
man-made reefs
and the skeletons of historic shipwrecks
jules's undersea lodge is the
self-proclaimed world's first
underwater hotel after checking in
guests have to dive
8.5 meters into their rooms now the
highlight of this day is having a pizza
orlobster dinner delivered to the room by
a scuba diver
and if you're like me and don't know how
to scuba dive the hotel
also offers beginners lessons back to
you carl
virtual museum tours have seen an uptick
since this cobid thing happened
but how many of them do you get to
control yourself here's one
the art gallery of virginia's old
dominion university wanted to offer
tours for people at home
so they invented gordon which is kind of
like a segway with an ipad on it
and for 15 or less for odu students
people can remotely operate gordon
taking a virtual and robotic tour
through the gallery
one interesting and unmuseuming segway
and remote of transportation to rover
around
then you can't galilee be there to
canvas the sighted art appreciation
that's like a curated collage of puns
that decorates our show this friday
because fridays are awesome
I'm Carl Azuz and it's time for us to
park for the weekend
with villa park high school it's located
in villa park california
that's a wrap my friends for cnn
