hi i m carl azuz for cnn 10. thank you
for watching this is our penultimate
program of the 2022 spring season and we
begin in the city of uvalde texas in the
southern part of the state where many
people are in mourning new details have
come out about a shooting that took
place there on tuesday an 18 year old
resident of uvalde first shot a family
member and then drove to an elementary
school where he attacked students and
teachers
21 people were killed 17 others were
injured including three law enforcement
officers a border patrol officer was
able to kill the shooter texas governor
greg abbott said people are rightfully
angry about what happened
evil
swept across
uvalde yesterday
to say the least humanity has been
shaken to its core
families are broken apart
hearts
are forever shattered
all texans
are grieving with the people of uvalde
when u.s president joe biden addressed
the nation tuesday night he quoted the
biblical book of psalms saying the lord
is near to the brokenhearted and then
the president called for stricter gun
laws in america
i ask the nation to pray for them
give the parents and siblings the
strength
and the darkness they feel right now
as a nation we have to ask when in god's
name
are we going to stand up to the gun
lobby we have to have the courage to
stand up to the industry
here's what else i know
most americans support common sense laws
common sense gun laws but americans are
divided in congress and communities over
what those laws should be and whether
they'd prevent this kind of violence
other suggestions have been to arm more
people including teachers to defend
against attacks there have been calls
for more security in the nation's
schools and observers say more needs to
be done to monitor warning signs like
violent social media posts to try to
prevent attacks so while the problem of
shootings persists there's disagreement
over potential solutions while the
nations of india and bangladesh are
enduring severe floods the opposite is
true on the opposite side of the
northern hemisphere lake powell and lake
mead which are both found partly in
arizona are at such low levels that the
millions who depend on these lakes could
see significant water restrictions in
the days ahead reductions have already
affected farmers
the southwest mega drought is
intensifying and it's not even summer
yet lake mead the nation's largest
reservoir keeps dropping to
unprecedented lows from human bones to
old boats if it'll start the precipitous
fall is revealing secrets long hidden
underwater there's probably two v8
engines under the mud but the seeping
water line is cause for another grim
reality for the first time lake mead
which supplies water to 40 million
people in seven states and mexico has
fallen to an elevation of just 1050 feet
that could force the u.s bureau of
reclamation to institute a second tier
of unprecedented water restrictions
following the first round of cuts
triggered in january we're falling about
a foot
a week right now because of the
agricultural demands downstream
california is one of those states that
relies on water from lake mead for
months governor gavin newsom has called
on residents and businesses to
voluntarily cut their water usage by 15
percent as the state's reservoirs
continue to shrink i'm standing
currently 40 feet under water
or should be standing 40 feet under
water he eventually expanded the drought
emergency we are doing what we had
signaled was likely to happen but
despite newsom's pleas californians
haven't cut back
in fact in march not only was the target
not met but urban water usage rose by 19
from march 2020 the highest march usage
since 2015 the state says california is
entering the third year of drought
punctuated by the driest first three
months of a year on record and its two
largest reservoirs shasta lake and lake
oroville are at critically low levels
standing at just half of their
historical averages the data spurring
newsom to call a meeting with the
state's largest urban water suppliers
pressuring them to beef up their water
conservation efforts amid the urgent
water crisis or potentially face a
significant reduction in water use
statewide this summer
ten-second trivia yellow-wide fjord land
crested and macaroni are all types of
what lark gecko penguin or moose
these are all types of penguins and two
of them are found in new zealand
according to the international union for
the conservation of nature the
yellow-eyed penguin has been an
endangered species for decades the
threats it faces include disease
predators and being accidentally caught
in fishing gear fiordland penguins are
doing better in the wild they're
classified as near threatened that's
also from fishing predators and disease
plus habitat changes you can find both
species at a conservation center in new
zealand
on new zealand's south island coast
on 150 acres of private land
penguin place is a rescue and
rehabilitation center for sick starving
and injured penguins
it's also a haven for this native
endangered species
koiho is the maori word for yellow-eyed
penguin and it means noisy shelter it's
a chance after you are going to see one
you'll hear them screaming at each other
they are the world's only solitary
species of penguin so they don't like
each other
they don't seem to like human contact
either says penguin place conservation
manager jason vanzanten
believe it or not the yellow-eyed
penguins aren't cute and cuddly like
they look they have a really vicious
bite and that can do quite a bit of
damage
many of these birds come to penguin
place from the dunedin wildlife hospital
nearby where they're under the care of
founder and director dr lisa argilla
i love penguins they're quite sexy
little individuals
they all have their own individual
personalities as well
possibly
this is a fjordland crested penguin or
tawaki it's one of new zealand's rarest
mainland penguin species
a lot of our new zealand penguins are in
such strife reaching sort of levels of
being endangered just trying to
save these guys as best we can to stop
them becoming extinct
yeah you feel better
dr aguila and her team treat up to 50
penguins here per season
most of the injuries we see are actually
predator related
this guy has got what we would be
consistent with the nasty gash wounds
all over the feet from a barracuda
at penguin place these young birds are
feeling the effects of climate change
unable to find enough food in the ocean
due to rising sea temperatures as well
as fishing practices van genten says
around 80 percent come in underweight
and need fattening up
these birds have been declining a lot
recently in the last 10 or so years
we've lost about three quarters or 75
percent of the population so that's a
lot really really quickly
humans also have a big part to play a
lot of our public beaches unfortunately
do have a lot of foot traffic on it and
we cause a lot of disturbance for these
birds
private reserves like this are really
important for the species ongoing
the work we're doing is absolutely
critical for these guys and their
survival here on the mainland
for vanzenton's birds things are looking
up before the full recovery of these
penguin species
it's baby steps
about a month ago we asked you to send
in original artwork designed around the
number well here's why we are shining up
some slick new graphics for when our
show relaunches in august we're getting
a whole new look so even though our
summer hiatus starts next week here's a
bit of a sneak preview for those who
can't wait to see what's coming up on
cnn 10.
digging in your pocket for a quarter to
use a pay phone is something many have
never had to do so this won't be nearly
as nostalgic for them as it might be for
their parents teachers coaches this is
one of the last public pay phones in the
new york city borough of manhattan
because cell phones have turned it into
a relic of a bygone era it's headed to a
museum where people can imagine or
hearken back to the days of finding a
phone to call home
like e.t now people who thought that was
a bad call might have said there's a
disconnect and called the decision dial
tone deaf they might have told the city
to hold the line while they petitioned
their rotary club to take action but it
was not a move made out of switch
boredom there were pennsylvania six five
thousand reasons to do it even if some
folks got hung up on the decision
i m carl azuz lame tech college prep
shout out to you watching from chicago
illinois there is one more show to go
before we do for the summer break
