hello and welcome to CNN 10 I'm Koy wire
here with the news for you this Tuesday
April 30th already the last day of April
this year is flying by we start today
with the latest on a story that's been
growing and evolving over the past
several weeks Pro Palestinian protests
disrupting college and university
campuses across the United States at
several schools students have set up
encampments to occupy main parts of
Campus some colleges and universities
have called in the police to help
disperse the crowds which has led to
some students facing disciplinary action
as well as dozens of arrests of students
and faculty so what do these protesters
want exactly as we discussed last week
many colleges and universities have
endowments which are basically big sums
of money that they acquire largely
through donations the schools invest
these endowments and these student
protesters want their schools to divest
or take money away from Israeli
companies from companies that work with
Israel or create weapons for Israel the
protesters say these companies are
helping Israel in its war in Gaza which
has killed tens of thousands of
Palestinians according to the health
Ministry there Israel says it's fighting
this war to take out Hamas a terrorist
organization that runs the Gaza Strip
after Hamas killed more than 1200 people
on October 7th CNN's Raphael Romo has
more about how colleges and universities
are dealing with these protests as the
Academic Year comes to a
close at University campuses Across the
Nation heated protests and some violent
clashes between police and pro
Palestinian protesters what I saw was
unprovoked and severe uh brutality
exacted by
police on some campuses a as as the
protest popped up universities called
police to shut them down by removing
demonstrators a move that has been
harshly criticized and not only by those
protesting the real problem here is that
the administration called the Atlanta
police the University of Southern
California has canceled its main
commencement ceremony citing new safety
measures in place dozens were arrested
Thursday at Emery University in Atlanta
including Martin Berg the third-year law
students who's expected to graduate in 3
weeks says their protest was peaceful
until the police showed up nothing was
disrupted um and anyone saying that you
know campus was disrupted doesn't
understand what a campus is a campus is
a place for open expression and exchange
of ideas and that's exactly what folks
were doing out there we are gathered
here and we stand firmly but some Jewish
students say that the last few months
since Hamas attacked Israel on October
7th and Israel began its assault on
Hamas in Gaza they have been subjected
to a hostile environment I believe
everyone has a right to protest the
problem is when it becomes threatening
auths like this first year law school
students say tensions within the student
body have made it very difficult not
only to learn but to attend school Al
together we're told that we don't belong
on campus because we don't identify with
their
movement uh it it they to me that says
that they don't want to have a dialogue
as schools get ready for graduation
they're under intense pressure to bring
the situation under control and many
students say that's also what they want
it is in our best interest to reach an
agreement before commencement because we
want students and families to be able to
celebrate this Milestone together on
this campus the bital situation has also
become a political issue with leaders
such as Texas governor Greg Abbott
blasting protesters students joining in
hatefi anti-semitic protests at any
public college or university in Texas
should be expelled he said on X I truly
do think that dialogue is the only way
we as a society are going to be able to
come together to truly create lasting
peace but in an environment where the
rhetoric is so loud the few voices
calling for peace are getting drowned
out Raphael Romo CNN
Atlanta next up we head to Antarctica
home to a fascinating creature the
emperor penguin did you know that they
can grow to an average of almost 4et
tall tall they're the tallest of all
penguin species but scientists are
worried melting sea ice might lead to
99% of the emperor penguin population
dying out by the end of the century but
all hope is not lost CNN's Linda King
Kan explains how these waddling Warriors
are adapting to their everchanging
environment Woodling and gliding through
the Antarctic some of these penguins
have seen better days the world's
largest penguin spe species emperor
penguins are severely threatened by
climate change scientists from the
British Antarctic Survey say tens of
thousands of emperor penguin chicks may
have died as the species battled to
survive record low sea ice in
2023 we know that they breed on sea ice
we know that sea ice is one of the first
things affected as temperatures warm
ocean temperatures and air temperatures
and we're starting to see these losses
in Antarctica now our models are quite
dire dire because these penguins also l
their eggs and raise their chicks on sea
ice but with the ice melting away the
chicks may fall into the sea before they
get their waterproof feathers leaving
them to freeze to death or drown despite
the recent losses 2023 wasn't as bad as
2022 for the emperor penguins scientists
say it's because some colonies adapted
to the worsening conditions by moving
south to find better ice or to more
stable ice shelves or icebergs it was um
reassuring that it wasn't quite as bad
as we' feared with the worst ever SE ice
but it was still bad well this is a good
sign fritwell says work still needs to
be done to save the emperor penguin and
we should do it before it's too late Pop
Quiz Hot Shot entomology is the study of
what dinosaurs birds insects or
[Music]
trees if you said insects you are
exactly right there are about a million
different species so there is uh plenty
of work to be done we recently told you
about cic apocalypse it's the phenomenon
that hasn't happened in more than 200
years in the US it occurs when two
different groups of cicas emerge at
around the same time filling parts of
the East and Midwest with a constant
buzzing sound let's go to CNN's Whitney
wild to see what all the buzz is about
in Illinois where the cicas are set to
Circ
if you live in several Midwest or
Southern States this spring neighbors
you likely didn't know where there will
make their presence known by the
billions billions of these bugs are
about to burst from the ground together
for the first time in over 221 years two
Broods of cyclical cicas will emerge
brood 19 and brood 13 have been living
underground for 13 and 17 years each
well before Abby Warren and Persia
arillus were born are you excited
yes how come you're excited Abby because
I love how they're really loud and they
go ear ear the two Broods haven't
crawled above ground at the same time
since 1803 back then Thomas Jefferson
was president and Illinois wasn't a
state yet fast forward to 2024 and
teenage cicas are set to crawl in every
corner of the Prairie State major Metro
areas like Nashville Atlanta and St
Louis will also see their share of
what's been dubbed cicada gedon
when groups of males get together their
mating call will be impossible to ignore
the volume of the buzz can rival a dump
truck we could see up to a million cicas
per acre emerging in some spots Alan
Lawrence studies insects at the paggy
not Bart Nature Museum in Chicago and
can't wait for this year's Super Bowl of
super bugs this means a chance to just
be fully immersed in just a really
unique enological phenomenon this really
only happens in the US here swarms have
pestered the press and politicians alike
watch out for the cices I just got
[Applause]
