This week we're featuring a sale on
Fridays
they're boga buy one get awesome I'm
Carl Azuz for CNN 10. Hope your friday's
going well
tensions between the united states and
russia start things off for us
on thursday u.s president joe biden
placed new
sanctions penalties on dozens of russian
organizations and several russian
individuals
these sanctions prevent u.s banks from
doing business with certain russian
banks
they kick out at least 10 russian
diplomats from the country's mission in
washington d.c
why the biden administration says there
are several reasons
as far as the diplomats go u.s officials
say some of them work for russian
intelligence that's according to the
hill media company
last year there was a cyber attack at an
american software company called
solar winds that attack resulted in
spying on u.s government agencies and
private companies
the biden administration says russia's
behind that the asian country calls the
accusation nonsense
american intelligence officials released
a report last month that accused russia
of interfering in the 2020 u.s
presidential election
and there have been reports that russia
has been encouraging people in
afghanistan to kill american troops and
their allies there
president biden says all of this
constitutes an extraordinary threat to
national security
foreign policy and the economy of the
united states
before the sanctions were announced he
and russian president vladimir putin
spoke over the phone on thursday
and the u.s leader said that while he
was going to respond to russia's actions
he was not looking to escalate tensions
with russia
that he believes it's in both nations
interests to find a stable and
predictable path forward in their
relationship
for its part russia's government says it
hasn't been involved in what the u.s
government accuses it of doing
and the nation's foreign ministry
spokeswoman says her country will
respond to the new u.s sanctions in the
coming days
almost exactly eight years ago there was
a terrorist attack near the finish line
of the boston marathon
three people were killed and more than
250 others were injured
heather abbott was one of the survivors
but her injury was permanent
and she was faced with a difficult
choice to live in pain
possibly for the rest of her life or to
take the advice of doctors and amputees
and have her leg removed below the knee
what she went through opened her eyes to
a problem faced by other amputees
and what she did in response through her
nonprofit organization is the reason why
abbott's a cnn hero
typically insurance will pay for one
prosthesis so
something that's basic like a metal
walking prosthesis
any other prosthesis like those designed
for running or
anything that looks realistic they
consider cosmetic
and not medically necessary at that time
i was really concerned with not having
any of my
normal life taken away these are my many
different legs
this one is my running leg it has a
littleboston strong logo on it and for me
having those multiple prostheses
i think kept my sanity intact to a
certain degree
this one is what i like to call my house
leg it
has a slipper on all the time being able
to do the things that i did before
being able to have some privacy about
being an amputee
and this is my high heel leg i can paint
the toenails i can use toenail
polish remover not even carrying a pug
and wearing high heels
and had my injury not happened in such a
public way
where there was so much assistance
available i never would have been able
to afford
to pay for all those multiple prostheses
some of our recent beneficiaries
so i decided to start the heather abbott
foundation
in order to do what i could to help
people get those devices that
simply couldn't get them because they
were out of reach
[Music]
i met corey quite a few years ago she
was one of our first beneficiaries
and corey lost her leg in a lawnmower
accident when she was two years old
she was a very active little girl at the
time who
wanted a running leg
[Music]
i have a good job with great insurance
i'm lucky
but it only covers the one leg a year
because she's growing we've already
probably had eight or ten legs
you want to put it in there you want me
to the running leg
would cost between twenty and fifty
thousand dollars
we would not be able to get a running
leg without heather's help
some things i like to do are playing
volleyball
basketball riding my bike
really just like stuff that gets me
moving the walking leg
only has the flex ankle if i use the
walking prosthetic it's a lot harder to
run because there's not as much spring
as there is in the running leg
before i'd always be a little bit behind
but now i'm feeling like i'm catching up
to everybody
so she hasn't
let anything stop her her mom sent me a
video of her recently snowboarding
and she looked amazing
it is frustrating to see people that
can't
have what they need to live the life
they want just because money is an
obstacle
it seems like that shouldn't be a
question
he is a crazy man we've helped around 42
people
which doesn't sound like much but
because of the cost of these devices
has been a big endeavor we've been able
to raiseabout a million and a half dollars over
the last six years
it has been life-changing for them and a
lot of them remind me of that
they keep in touch and tell me about
what they're doing in their lives
this whole experience just showed me a
whole different part of life that i
otherwise wouldn't have known and i do
try to focus on
all the positive things that have
resulted from that terrible day
ten-second trivia which of these
organisms has the most known species
birds spiders grass or cockroaches
scientists believe there are more than
45 000 species of spiders out there
[Music]
what does a spiderweb sound like we
don't know
but to help understand the creatures
better how they build their webs how
they communicate
scientists at the massachusetts
institute of technology recently
conducted an experiment
they scanned spiderwebs with a laser
they used the scans to create a 3d
computer model of the web then they used
artificial intelligence to assign
musical notes to the strands of the web
when those virtual notes were played
together
here's what they sounded like
[Music]
an mit engineering professor calls it
unusual and eerie and scary but
ultimately beautiful he adds researchers
may be learning to speak the language of
the spider
and hopes this will lead to better
communication with arachnids
a dozen magellanic penguins in argentina
it was a big day
they were headed back out to sea these
animals were found in bad shape a while
backconservationists say they were
malnourished and dehydrated
and that caused some of them to lose
their feathers that protect them from
the cold
after biologists at a rescue center
nursed them back to health
the animals were released recently with
conservationists visitors and kids
looking on
all of the penguins were dressed up for
the occasion wearing their tuxedos
which was easy tuxedo it looked like
they were pin grinning from ear to ear
that they took one look at the ocean and
wanted to flip that they were glad to be
beak
once they got penguin to the fact that
they were back home those animals took
flightwell actually they didn't but i don't
think flight less of them after all they
got right back into the swim with no
need to magical panic
I'm Carl Azuz with the news newport news

heard from woodside high school
