Hello sunshine. Rise up and happy
Monday. Hope you had an awesome weekend.
If you're a sports fan, maybe you
watched a little NFL playoff action and
I hope your team won. I'm Ky Wire. This
is CNN 10 where we tell you the what,
letting you decide what to think. And
that motto of ours is particularly
important for our top story today. The
growing protests in major cities across
the US about the nation's immigration
enforcement policies. This already
divisive issue came to a boiling point
last week after the death of a US
citizen in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The
federal government has sent immigration
and custom enforcement or ICE agents
into many US cities in its continued
efforts to deport any people living in
the US illegally. And Minneapolis is the
site of the AY's latest operation. On
Wednesday, January 7th, 37year-old Renee
Good was shot and killed when she got
into a confrontation with ICE agents.
Good was shot by agent Jonathan Ross as
she was attempting to drive away during
a verbal altercation with ICE agents.
The incident was caught on video from
multiple angles, including Ross' own
cell phone. Officials in the White House
have defended the agents actions,
accusing Good of trying to harm ICE
agents with her car. Many other
officials, including the Minneapolis
mayor and Minnesota governor, have
disputed the federal government's
version of events, condemning the
incident, calling for accountability for
the agency, which has been conducting
controversial immigration operations in
cities across the United States.
Thousands of people have protested their
actions in Minnesota, marching in the
streets, also making their voices heard
in front of the White House. Vigils have
been held across Minneapolis as mourners
pay tribute to Renee Good, a mother of
three. The FBI is currently conducting
an investigation into the incident, and
we will bring you more details as this
story develops. Now, to a worrisome
winter weather trend in the western
United States that's putting the no in
snow. Huge stretches of the western US,
with the exception of California, are
seeing almost no so far this winter.
It's already threatening some of the
winter sports we love. The bigger
concern is what it might mean for the
ongoing dry spill in the region and some
important water reservoirs. Our Allison
Chinchar has more on what's fueling this
phenomenon and how big of an impact it
might have. Hi Allison.
>> That's right. Qu. Everybody loves a snow
day, especially when it results in
school being closed. But they haven't
really had many of those out in the
west. And a lot of that has to do with
the drought. You see all of the yellow,
orange, and red colors here on the map.
Those are areas where we've had severe
or even extreme drought over the last
several weeks and in some cases even
months. Now, another factor into this is
how warm it has been. So, the very few
storms that we've been getting into the
West have really produced more rain than
they have snow. Every single one of
these dots here that you see on the map,
the red ones, indicate the warmest
winter on record. So, from December 1st
until now, they have had their warmest
winter so far. And there's a lot of the
red dots on the map. Now, this doesn't
mean there's been no snow. We just don't
have as much as we would normally have
for this time of year. You can see we
have snow in the Rockies, the Sierras,
the Cascades, and the Olympics. It just
should be much higher totals than what
we're actually seeing. And
unfortunately, when we look forward into
the forecast, there's not really much
good news for more snow. In fact, really
over the next couple of weeks, much of
the West is expecting below average
precipitation to move into this area.
This is a problem, especially if you
like skiing or snowboarding, but it's
also a bigger problem, especially as we
get later into the year, because in the
spring, all of that snowpack melts,
flowing down into places like the
Colorado River and a lot of those
basins, and it provides water for a lot
of the people out west, but we just
simply won't have as much because we
don't have all the snow to go in there.
Pop quiz hot shot. Which of the
following medical procedure is not
possible on the International Space
Station? Administering IV fluids,
conducting an ultrasound, performing
major surgery, or using a defibrillator.
If you said surgery, you are a cut above
the rest. During each mission, one
astronaut is specifically trained to be
the crew medical officer and can seek
teleaalth guidance for almost all minor
ailments.
NASA is bringing four crew members home
from the International Space Station
more than a month early after one of
them experienced a medical issue. What
that issue was or is is still a mystery
as the agency isn't sharing any further
detail, citing privacy concerns. What
they are saying is the affected member
of the crew is stable and should not
need special care during the return. Our
Tom Foreman has more.
>> They're saying that whoever is sick out
of this crew that that person is stable.
We know that the crew 11 consisted of
four people. Two of them were Americans.
The commander of the flight, uh, Zena
Cardman, who you can see right there,
the woman just from the left there, and
then right next to her is Mike Frink,
who is the the pilot of the flight, much
more experienced in space. But they're
saying right now that this person is
stable, that it's not an issue, whatever
the issue is, that they're stable. But
you listen to the chief health officer
for NASA. They say, "You got to get them
back here because we just have much
better tools here to diagnose them."
Take a look.
>> We have a very robust suite of medical
hardware on board the International
Space Station, but we don't have the
complete amount of hardware that I would
have in the emergency department, for
example, to complete a workup of a
patient. And the best way to complete
that workup is on the ground.
>> We believe this is unprecedented. We
don't know it's that has ever happened
before, but they're always very playing
it close to the vest when they have
somebody who's sick in space. Typically,
even if somebody comes back, like in
2024, they took a whole crew to the
hospital when they got back and then
kept one a little bit longer. But we
didn't know who was being kept, and we
didn't know what it was all about. They
tend to treat this as more or less
scientific information for the future.
Let's figure out what happened, why it
happened. It doesn't matter who it
happened to, and and they're protective
of the the privacy of these folks here.
But there are, you know, everything that
can go wrong on ground can go wrong in
space. You can get a an impacted tooth.
You could have uh there was some threat
some years ago of somebody having a
blood clot. Uh plus there is the normal
transition to space where a lot of
astronauts struggle with uh upset
stomach, feeling really disoriented,
vertigo because floating around all the
time is very tough on people. Plus,
you're just studying the effects of
space on people the longer they're up
there. Nonetheless, to bring this back a
full month ahead of time, really
unusual. And now NASA says they're
trying to step up quickly the
replacement program because the space
station is now kind of on a skeleton
crew. They want to get some more people
up earlier. So, they'll be trying to
launch them earlier than expected.
>> A newly discovered object in space could
shed light on the invisible and
mysterious substance called dark matter.
Cloud9, as it's called, was found using
the Hubble Space Telescope. Never
directly observed, dark matter is
theoretically believed to make up most
of the universe and provide its
structure. New research finds cloud 9
could be a remnant of a galaxy formed in
the early days of the universe.
Astronomers believe dark matter came
from the big bang that created the
universe nearly 14 billion years ago.
All right. What do you call a deer with
no eyes? No idea. What do you call a
deer with no eyes that doesn't move?
Still no idea. What do you call a deer
that decides to go antler to horn with a
rhino? Bold. This next story is wild.
The Vont Swaf Zoo in Poland just
released this video showing a teeny tiny
deer squaring up with a rhino. A Chinese
munchjack deer. One of the smallest deer
species in the world. Caught on camera
trying to lower the boom on that big
boy. Was it trying to play? Was it
provoking a fight? Either way, that's
one fearless deer. showing that no
matter how small you are, big confidence
is key.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
group of school bus passengers becoming
instant heroes with quick thinking and
kindness. It started as a routine ride
home in Ashlin, Ohio until suddenly the
bus driver began to have trouble
breathing. School bus surveillance video
shows the driver signaling for help,
pointing to her throat as the bus rolled
downhill. That's when the students
noticed something was wrong.
>> I ran up there and said, "What is
wrong?" And she pointed at her throat
and then I ran back there and got the
older kids.
>> Inside the bus, students took charge.
One grabbed the radio, called the school
knowing it was the fastest way to get
help. Trying to keep all the kids calm
and make sure they don't get freaked out
and try to get them back to the back of
the bus.
>> Parents say the moment showed just how
prepared their kids really were.
>> Very proud. Overwhelmed feeling of joy.
Like I was joyful that my kids were
knowledgeable enough and knew enough to
know what to do to actually help
somebody legitimately save somebody's
life. The bus driver is now home safe
and recovering thanks to quick thinking
and teamwork from the students she was
driving that day. From spotting trouble
to staying calm under pressure, this
school bus crew earns a 10 out of 10 for
courage, teamwork, and stepping up when
it mattered most. How's that for some
Monday motivation? Our first shout out
of the day goes to my old stomping
grounds in the 717. Mr. Jeppy at Capitol
Academy High School in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. I see you. I'm an old
Cedar Cliff Coat and I hope I make
Central PA proud. Thank you for
subscribing to our CNN 10 YouTube
channel. And this shout out goes to Mr.
Jackson and all my Blazers at the Bush
School in Seattle, Washington. Cameron,
Ingred, and crew. They wanted to make
sure you know how much they appreciate
you. And we do, too. Rise up everyone.
Make it an awesome day. Make someone
smile today. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm
Koi Wire and we are CNN 10.
