it's Monday October 2nd and this year
has been flying by I feel like it was
September just two days ago I'm quite
this is CNN 10 and we start with today's
latest on the government shutdown last
week we covered how senators and
representatives were struggling to agree
on how to fund the government and if
they didn't figure it out by Saturday at
midnight the government would shut down
meaning millions of federal workers
responsible for services like the
military transportation and clean
drinking water would stop getting paid
that doesn't mean all these Services
would end even if the government did
shut down essential workers would
continue showing up unpaid to keep
Americans taken care of and safe but
that's a lot to ask from anyone who
lives paycheck to paycheck right
fortunately Congress averted a shutdown
by passing a short-term funding bill
which President Joe Biden signed right
before the deadline on Saturday Biden
said the bill would give Congress more
time to work out funding for the year
ahead new deadline is now November 17th
so Saturday's Bill keeps the government
open and takes care of aid for natural
disasters but it does not include any
money for Ukraine and its war with
Russia's efforts or security at our
borders and that means we could see
additional bills addressing these issues
in the coming weeks ahead
while politicians in Washington D.C were
dealing with the shutdown about 200
miles north New Yorkers were facing a
crisis of their own the city was hit
with record-setting rain on Friday
Brooklyn saw a month's worth of rain in
just three hours time and more rain fell
at John F Kennedy International Airport
than any other day since 1948 the water
overwhelmed New York's sewer system
flooded streets and buildings even the
city's famous Subway CNN's Paulo
Sandoval takes us there now
chaos in New York City as heavy rain
pounded the five boroughs and the
surrounding areas Brooklyn saw months
worth some four and a half inches in
only three hours Knee Deep Water flooded
streets within I guess about 10 minutes
it was waste high water forcing some
residents to abandon their cars and
others to create makeshift barriers to
protect their homes and businesses
flooded subway stations in Brooklyn with
at least 10 lines suspended and even
buses taking on water while still in
service
tried to Wade through the floods York's
airports weren't spared either
laguardia's historic Marine Air Terminal
flooded in the Bronx the National
Weather Service warning that the Bronx
River reached major flood stage with
levels hovering close to five feet Mary
Eric Adams declaring a state of
emergency for the city this is time for
height and alertness and Extreme Caution
if you are home stay home if you are at
work or school shelter in place for now
China opened its first overwater bullet
train line it can take you to a city 160
miles away in under one hour
the new line in fujian Province goes
along the west side of the Taiwan Strait
with the trains running as fast as 217
miles per hour
fujan province is the closest part of
mainland China to the self-governing
island of Taiwan which China claims as
its own territory despite having never
controlled it
in September China's ruling Communist
Party stated its aim to facilitate
better connectivity and integration
between fujian and Taiwan 10 second
trivia which of these is not a
requirement to become president of the
United States be a natural-born citizen
be at least 35 years old served in the
U.S military for a year lived in the U.S
for at least 14 years
all of these are requirements to be
president of the U.S except having
served in the U.S military according to
Article 2 of The Constitution
while there is a minimum age to be
president 35 there is no maximum and
recent CNN polls have shown that
Americans are worried about the age and
capability of the people who want to
lead this country but what about young
voters CNN's Omar Jimenez talked to
students at William and Mary a public
research University and the second Otis
Institute for Higher Learning in the U.S
to get their thoughts on whether age is
just a number
how many of you think that President
Biden is too old to be president again
and so why why do you feel that way he
does make a good president but I just
think that there is not a lot of
representation for Our Generation in the
entirety of the government right now and
I'd like to see more of that it's like
President Biden capable of serving with
the term I think absolutely they should
look to his legislative record and not
necessarily to his his age or his
persona it's a key distinction for these
William and Mary students age versus
ability President Joe Biden would be 86
years old at the end of his second term
while former president Donald Trump is
just three years behind him
a different world than those who weren't
even teenagers when Trump was first
elected I was 11 I think when it
happened they don't say go look at
somebody graduated 40 years ago 20 years
ago 30 years ago or 50 years ago to ask
them for college advice I'm just looking
for a candidate who's appealing but the
current candidates Trump invited I mean
they're fossils there are other
candidates on the Republican side to
choose from but to some young
conservatives it's more about perception
I was in sixth grade When Donald Trump
won he seems the same as he was in 2016
as I remember him I don't see his age
affecting him some Republicans believe
it can't just be about age
they dismiss us all the time for our age
so we're not going to dismiss people on
the other end of the spectrum for their
age either if I ask you is by President
Biden too old to run
you would say don't focus on the beach
correct okay if you're in really strong
great health and you look and you're
being perceived by the entire world as
confident and in control then age
wouldn't come up
the White House has maintained Biden has
more than demonstrated his Fitness for
the job in 2020 voters under the age of
30 turned out in greater numbers than in
recent elections with exit polls showing
they backed Biden by more than 20 points
over Trump
it's part of why at Hampton University
in Virginia vice president Kamala Harris
kicked off her fight for our Freedom's
College Tour hoping to drive young
turnout on some of the issues they care
about most we want people in office who
are going to listen to us and make
born into that as well
as well it's especially important for
those who plan to vote for the first
time I feel like a real adult just
because we're younger does not mean that
we don't have an understanding and to
some that understanding doesn't have an
expiration date if somebody is 80 years
old or pushing 93 years old as long as
they know what they're doing that's all
that matters but to others age means
understanding especially on issues like
climate they don't have as long of a
future on this planet as we do hey
direct about it yeah are you
enthusiastic about placing your first
ever presidential vote for President
Biden given what he's done in office yes
I am happy to vote for Biden just wish
that we had another candidate who could
relate to us a little bit more it's a
bottom line that could swing an election
by the youngest of margins I'm thinking
like all the difference yeah I think
it'll be pivotal a single college campus
could make a difference you've turned
out as maybe the most important factor
in the next election Omar Jimenez CNN

today's story getting a 10 out of 10 is
a magical Landing by a skydiver in
England
nailed it Eon zackle now known as
unicorn man was one of about 30
skydivers in a contest attempting to
land and ride an inflatable unicorn
after dropping from about 6 000 feet in
the sky some of these skydivers were um
just
ouch but yawn or shall we say unicorn
was the main man horned to be wild he
says he was going about 60 miles per
hour when he successfully mounted up

try that at home fun fact did you know
unicorns are the national animal of
Scotland Giddy Up This mythical creature

Kingdom's Royal coat of arms right next
