Hi my name is Carl Azuz
three things i'd like to share with you
right away carrots
do not belong in cake stick shifts are
more fun to drive
and fridays are awesome now critics
might call some of that fake news though
not the friday part
here are three real headlines to start
off today's show
one the nation of india is still
struggling to contain a new wave of
coronavirus cases
this is the world's largest democracy it
has the world's second largest
population with more than 1.3 billion
people
and the number of new positive tests it
recorded on thursday alone
was more than 412 000 that is a national
andinternational record of new cases the
nation has also recorded a record
daily number of deaths related to the
disease with almost four thousand on
thursday
help in the form of medical supplies has
flowed in from around the world
but india's government says it's had
trouble transporting those supplies
around the country
second headline japan is extending its
state of emergency with regard to covid
with less than three months to go before
the olympics begin
it's only seen a small fraction of the
new cases that india has
but the state of emergency which will
last through the end of this month is
intended to reduce the viruses spread
and help hospitals get a better handle
on it there are restrictions on some of
the nation's restaurants
certain businesses are being asked but
not required to close
fans are not allowed to attend sports
events japan's government like many
othersis trying to balance covid related
restrictions with the desire not to
cause more economic problems
third the number of new coveted cases
and deaths blamed on the virus continues
to decrease
in the united states for the past week
america has recorded fewer than 47
000 positive tests per day on average
the daily number of cases hasn't been
that low since last october
and it's declined by more than 80
percent since new infections peaked in
january
medical experts have said vaccinations
and natural immunity and people who've
beenexposed to the disease are both playing
a part in reducing america's cases
trivia what is the only u.s city to have
hosted the summer olympics twice
lake placid new york los angeles
california atlanta georgia or salt lake
city utah
both lake placid and los angeles have
hosted the games twice but la held the
summer olympics
[Music]
our next subject today centers on a
non-profit organization that was founded
in los angeles
20 years ago at one point almost one out
of every five students in the la public
school system was dropping out before
graduation
in 2001 a former sales executive named
karen taylor took action to help address
problems like that when she became a cnn
hero in 2014
taylor's organization had helped several
hundred girls graduate and go on to
collegenow the number of teens it's helped is
several thousand
and it expanded further during coven
i sat in our spot clicking my pen click
clap click clap
i don't know yet who i am or who i want
to be per my
fragment of history my beloved peace of
the past
my grandmother many of our girls come
from environments where they're really
struggling with
unstable family situations violence in
their communities
our goal is to really try and reach the
most teens we can that are in the
greatest
need
[Music]
nice since receiving the hero award
we've expanded to include programs for
boys and co-ed groups
it's going really well we're really
pleased we've also developed more
programming for youth who are
incarcerated or systems impacted
on probation since the pandemic
what we see is that young people have
been slipping away
many of them are not showing up at
school online
we did 700 wellness calls to all of our
girls and a portion of our alums
to find out how they were and what we
found was they were struggling with so
many challenges
depression anxiety financial issues
learning challenges
hello welcome everyone since march of
last year we
have adapted all of our programs to be
online girls have been finding their way
to us from kentucky wisconsin
florida mumbai brussels
about a hundred of our mentors work
every week with teen girls online
and we do a lot of special events and
readings and
a whole college program to help all of
our girls go to college
live a life so you have stories to tell
some of our girls have said to us that
wright girl has been a lifeline for them
thank you one of our goals is to
introduce girls to all different kinds
of writingjournalism fiction poetry i love this
workshop we all watch tv movies and
plays but today you get to
write the drama or the comedy we have a
screenwriting workshop we have a
songwriting workshop
what is really wonderful about tonight
is the process
of seeing how a song comes together
[Music]
at our songwriting workshop the
singer-songwriters will take the lyrics
that the girls wrote that day
and then turn them into songs in front
of their
love and eyes like
everyone seems to do they see
their own words in the hands of our
professional
hi yeah no that was so cool and there's
this feeling of like
i wrote that i can do that i just made a
song
thank you so much it was still hungry
the face of the mask fell down we try to
give teens the opportunity to
read their work in front of a few people
then in front of 200 at our workshops
then in front of 500 at the end of the
year season celebration
before long they become absolutely
fearless and unafraid of the microphone
we've learned that quiet isn't always
peace
and the norms and notions of what just
is isn't always just
this amanda gorman joined right girl
when she was 14.
dragonflies home and vibrant foods
pleaseher and her twin sister were part of
wright girl for four years
she was always such a positive bright
light soaking
up everything she was sort of
unstoppable when we saw
her perform at the inauguration we could
see the
same things that we really embody at
right girlrepresented in her confidence being
willing to really be present
we are striving to forge or union
with purpose say something that nobody
else has said before
because you have your own way of saying
things over the years
we've worked with four to five thousand
teens over our 20-year history
it's a big number they're doctors
they're lawyers
one is just completing her phd it's
really exciting to see
all the different things they're doing
in the world and more than anything
to learn that our alums want to be of
service to their communities
that they want to do work of meaning is
really the most exciting thing for me of
[Applause]
[Music]
anything
my dog would like to know what's on your
menuthings you wouldn't expect to hear at a
restaurant but certain pet-friendly
hilton hotels in britain and ireland are
looking to reward dogs for helping their
owners during the lockdown
so they've devised a menu called bone
appetit
no i did not write that it features
doggy delicacies like beef dog and yawn
mutt roast and earl greyhound hilton
says it's a reward for pets
developed with vets and though we don't
know what that fine
canine dining could cause indogestion we
bet gourmet sharpays wouldn't turn up
their noses at fresh
doglikasees like pooly pork griffon do
and snickerdoodles with whippet cream i
mean why wouldn't they want to chow down
on some fresh
mutton I'm Carl Azuz and right now we're
going to paris
paris high school it is located in paris
arkansas
