incredible adversity in his life to
become an inspiration for people all
around the world I'm here in LA with my
producer Ryan Bergeron dad of CNN tenor
Sylvie what's up Sylvie we can't wait to
share Jesse's story with all of you soon
now to your news late on Monday evening
former president Donald Trump was
criminally charged for the fourth time
this year in a sweeping indictment from
the state of Georgia let's break it down
an indictment is another term used when
a person is 4 formerly accused of
committing a crime and it's one of the
first moves made in our legal system
before a case can go before a trial an
indictment is different from being
convicted of a crime and it's also not
the same as receiving a guilty or not
guilty verdict the former president is
now facing 91 charges across four
indictments the indictment Monday night
included 18 defendants in addition to
Trump and it was the result of a
long-running investigation that started
in early 2021. Monday's charges
concerned Trump and others conduct after
the 2020 election and say that Trump's
team allegedly misled State officials in
Georgia organized fake electors harassed
an election worker and breached election
equipment in rural Georgia County Trump
has denied all wrongdoing and his
attorneys slammed the indictment saying
that the grand jury presentation was
one-sided and called Monday's events
shocking and absurd this all comes at
the same time that Trump is running for
president in 2024 and he is the current
front-runner for the Republican Party
we'll keep you posted as this story
unfolds right here on CNN 10.
up next we have more information on the
devastation in Hawaii after wildfires
ravaged the island of Maui it's still
not known what started the fires but
there's been a renewed focus on the
power lines that fell on the ground in
the burned area and the gust of winds
that knocked them over now some locals
are blaming Hawaiian Electric for not
shutting off power to high-risk areas
they say that could have prevented the
deadly fire the fires have also brought
tension in Maui between locals and
tourism as residents and officials
warned tourists against traveling to
Maui especially as many hotels are now
needed to host evacuees and First
Responders we'll go now to our chief
climate correspondent Bill Weir who met
with dedicated individuals bringing Aid
and resources to the region
me and Brittany will lead the front we
got right behind us just stay close when
Charlie and Brittany Fleck saw pictures
of the devastation on Lahaina the couple
from Maui knew that had to do something
come come when you give you cash we got
cash money
thank you
I think there's a there's a big ice
truck we got help on the way
so they put out a plea on Facebook and
when thousands of dollars began rolling
in they began handing it out hey thank
you so much we're coming for you thank
you aloha
but that didn't seem like enough so they
organized a caravan and sweet talked
their way past red tape and checkpoints
and when they finally saw what Lahaina
looks like for the first time
they wept
but just on the edge of the burn scars
we find an inspiring example of Hawaiian
togetherness
cold towel are you kidding
that is Aloha Hospitality thank you man
right there over your neck keep you okay
nice and cool
Archie calepa is a Hall of Fame Surfer
and lifeguard with Maui roots that go
back nine Generations
this is your actual house here or yeah
this is my actual home and we were
really lucky because our neighbors uh
they were here fighting the fire right
at this corner
and um the fire department said
this is our last stand we're going to
hold the line right here
well there's so much frustration over
the official response so far he says
authorities deserve some understanding
given the size of the disaster this
right here is a crime scene and so what
people don't understand is the
government has to do due diligence
before they start
moving in so it's a humanitarian
response in the middle of a working
crime scene exactly but at another
relief pod on a beach nearby frustration
has turned to anger nobody came to help
us you know I mean we rely on people
like you guys that get compassion like
we do you know what I mean that that
willing to help us because please we
need help we need help we need we need
the next step this is this is just a
first inning this is the first inning of
what we're facing tourism is our number
one source of income I would hope that
our Representatives our politicians our
government would ask the people from
here when can we open they should not be
telling us oh we want to open six months
from now
the truth of the matter is
when you look at the overall Devastation
we are not going to be ready to allow
people to see what we're living through
in six months Ten Second trivia which
archipelago is said to have inspired a
Shakespearean play and is nicknamed the
Shipwreck capital of the world Bermuda
Canary Islands Seychelles or Galapagos
Islands
often considered to have inspired
Shakespeare's The Tempest Bermuda is the
correct answer here
and up next we're taking you to meet one
Doctor Who has bred over 100
000 snails that were thought to be
extinct lesser Bermuda land snails as
the name suggests come from Bermuda but
a number of environmental factors have
caused the snails to be critically
endangered we'll meet one man whose
mission is to reintroduce them back to
the Wild and will join the snails as
they take part in a 3 000 mile Journey
from a zoo in the north of England all
the way to Bermuda
in a small collection of shipping
containers just outside Chester Zoo in
the UK
Gerardo Garcia is looking after a
plethora of newts
frogs
salamanders and snails
as head of ectotherms he is in charge of
almost 60 percent of the animals in the
entire Zoo
but often the creatures that have almost
zero scientific information known about
them since 2013 Gerardo has carried out
much of his field work in Bermuda with
two native species of snail the greater
and lesser bermuden land snails
having grown up in the containers at
Chester Zoo the snails are now making
the 3 000 mile journey to Bermuda
where Wildlife ecologist Mark
Outerbridge is waiting for them
bermuda's biodiversity is uh has its
roots its Origins
with many other Islands so we're talking
about a relatively small land area and
in bermuda's case a very small land area
in the middle of the ocean
and unfortunately we have evidence that
we have lost species in Bermuda they are
they are extinct
starting with only 60 of those snails
Gerardo's team has since bred and
released more than a hundred thousand
one of the biggest wildlife
reintroductions in history
now he is returning to one of the
release sites trunk Island to check on
their progress
and work out if the area will be
suitable for releasing their smaller
cousins
was it this the first spot so this was
the first spot we ever released the
snails so we brought a bunch of palm
fronds here because we saw how much they
were feeding off palm fronds in on ports
Island sorry so far so good let's see if
we can find any yeah I can see one right
now A careful rummage through the Fallen
Palm leaves reveals a thriving community
of the greater Bermuda land sales
and indicates a perfect location to
release the Lesser snails
many people would ask
why to bother about snails and um the
question is why we bothered about any
other species that we have on the planet
every single one animal and plants every
single one has a role to play
he made we don't know we may don't
understand we may be underestimate the
rule but everybody has a very important
ecological role
and for today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 Thanksgiving only comes once a
year but soon roller coaster enthusiasts

Thanksgiving gravy whenever they want
