what's up lovely people it's the best
day of the week Friday or as you could
say Friday I'm still here in Kansas City
covering the NFL draft and can I just
say that you all are awesome I got to
meet some students and teachers like Mr
Johnson a big time Steelers fan and
thanks for the love from Miss Wilson
from SM South High Mr Cordell from
Leewood middle and the Horizon Academy
you rock I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10.
the best 10 minutes in news let's go in
a narrow final vote the U.S House of
Representatives passed a bill on
Wednesday that would raise the nation's
debt ceiling the debt ceiling is the
total amount of money the government is
authorized to borrow the package raises
the nation's debt limit by an additional
1.5 trillion dollars up from the more
than 31 trillion where it currently
stands but the plan raises the ceiling
in return for spending cuts that are
effectively conditions that would take
money away from President Joe Biden's
agenda and while this measure was passed
from the republican-led house it is seen
as Dead on Arrival in the Democratic LED
Senate house Speaker Kevin McCarthy and
Republicans well they're looking to
negotiate with Democrats and President
Biden but President Biden reiterated
that he would not meet with McCarthy on
extending the debt limit saying it's
quote not negotiable unquote the White
House says that Republicans are holding
the economy hostage and slashing
programs that hurt the American people
for his part though speaker McCarthy has
said the president is putting the
economy in Jeopardy and that the house
has done its job by passing a bill to
avoid default so why does this all
matter well analysts believe that not
raising the debt ceiling could be
catastrophic where the economy can hit a
freeze millions of jobs would be lost
and interest rates and Loans would spike
in recent years the debt ceiling debate
has been seen as a political tug of war
where the American people well they're
the ones always on the losing end our
Christine Romans has more
every day the U.S draws closer to the
so-called x-state when it runs out of
money to pay all the bills the debt
ceiling of 31.4 trillion dollars was hit
January 19th unable to borrow more money
the treasury Department is using
so-called Extraordinary Measures moving
money around delaying some Investments
to make sure everything is paid and
sometime soon as quickly as early June
the accounting tricks run out and the
U.S risks defaulting on its obligations
now assuming interest payments get top
priority every family would face Cuts
Social Security payments could be
delayed veterans could receive an IOU
instead of benefits federal employees
could be furloughed and it would be
catastrophic for financial markets where
the creditworthiness of the United
States is the Cornerstone of the Global
Financial system a default on the debt
would trigger Market crashes that would
crush business and consumer confidence
that could further shock the financial
system and throw the economy into a
recession treasuries could tank interest
rates Spike the dollar sink and Global
economies real that is the reality
Congress is sleepwalking toward unless
it raises the debt ceiling now Congress
has raised the limit 78 times since 1960
49 times under Republican presidents 29
times under Democrats but in recent
years it has become a political football
in a game where the American people are
the losing team
10 second trivia which of these
countries has not performed a controlled
landing on the moon United States the
former Soviet Union China or Japan
raise your hand if you said Japan no
moon landing for them but a Japanese
commercial company attempted a landing
this week
hakuto are a lunar lander from Japan
would touch down on the moon this week
at least that was the plan ispace which
is a Japanese firm launched it on a
SpaceX rocket back in December from Cape
Canaveral Florida then entered orbit
around the Moon taking three months for
it to get there the plan was to land
Tuesday afternoon but flight controllers
lost communication with the craft
leading officials to assume that it was
lost or even crashed hakuto R was
supposed to release a data collecting
Rover even a robot the size of a tennis
ball but before it did the mission was
over this could have been historic
Landing this craft upon the Moon being
the first by a private company perhaps
another we'll try again soon
next up a rarely talked about aspect of
the Russian invasion on Ukraine it has
taken a huge and sad toll for so many
people in the region but what about the
animals that need to be saved as well
well fear not there's actually a pair of
veterinarians bunkered underground and
aiding all sorts of wildlife from snakes
to owls to parrots guinea pigs even
monkeys during their rescue efforts
they've even had to dodge a few Russian
bullets just one week after the invasion
they cared for about 400 rescued animals
in their Clinic meet Leonid and
Valentina stianov two of our very own
CNN Heroes
we are Leonid and Wellington
exotic and Wildlife veterinarians
we're here right now in Ukraine in
Odessa all our family mother father have
to leave Ukraine but we decided for us
that we stay here and help animals this
is our Hospital
we are almost underground this safe
place for us and for anyone we usually
have unusual animals
for example turtles himalayans different
parrots
guinea pigs and monkeys
when invasions come we helps dogs and
cats
a lot of people think that all this
situation in Ukraine will be three four
days so a lot of people just close
animals in apartments in houses and
think that everything will be fine after
one two weeks it is become very big
problem
Neighbors start here have a lot of
different animals around them
screaming

each rescue it's so tough and at the
same time very touching because each
animals for us it's like a members of
