hey everyone hope you're having a
thoroughly thankful Thursday gratitude's
good for the attitude I'm Coy wire this
is cnn1 and we kick off today's show
with an update on the 2024 presidential
campaign election day is less than two
months away new polling suggests this
race is going to be a close one between
democratic nominee current vice
president kamla Harris and Republican
nominee former president Donald Trump in
fact it's likely to come down to six
Battleground States why remember the way
presidents are elected in America is
through the Electoral College each state
gets a certain number of electoral votes
and a candidate needs 270 of them to win
so in a tight race the path to Victory
is through those super competitive
States in new CNN polling shows kamla
Harris and Donald Trump are virtually
tied in three Battlegrounds Georgia
Nevada and Pennsylvania both candidates
are trying to build support ahead of the
November 5th election so they are
hitting the campaign Trail hard in the
final stretch of this race former
president Trump held a town hall in
Pennsylvania yesterday vice president
kamla Harris unveiled New Economic
proposals in New Hampshire but the next
really big event comes next week so
let's mark this one on our calendars
Harris and Trump scheduled to debate
each other for the first time Tuesday
night next we head to India which has
set ambitious goals for clean energy
prime minister Narendra Modi has pledged
that renewable sources like solar and
wind power will meet 50% of India's
energy requirements by the end of this
decade but getting there won't be easy
especially when many residents say the
huge windmills are causing problems
CNN's Christy L Stout has
more these windmills in the desert are
capable of powering m millions of homes
in India impacting many people's lives
and the environment for good but some
local herders here and Ja salour say
that they are against it big companies
like the adani group and Suson who own
many of the turbines say they are
committed to the prosperity of the
community with the goal of supporting
India's push for renewable energy the
wind turbines have made this area one of
India's largest onshore wind farms but
it's also on the community's grazing
land and her her say the construction
work is damaging the water sources
crucial for their livestock meanwhile
some environmentalists say the power
lines are causing harm to animals
including one on the brink of
Extinction
Indian the Great Indian bustard had a
population of over 600 before the year
2000 once the windmills and the high
tension wires were installed their
mortality increased breeding decreased
and now only around 150 remain in
gmer climate change brings heavy
flooding and heat waves and windmills
can cut down on the carbon emissions
that scientists say fuel climate change
but the benefits of the windmills are
not being felt by many living near them
they say the windmills are mostly
benefiting the bigger cities while they
continue to see Power
Cuts even a small child in our home
suffers in the heat without a fan
because we only have electricity for 2
hours the power is unreliable and none
of the windmills are supplying
electricity to the western region of
Rajan we are desperate for light as the
climate crisis continues and scorching
temperatures rise local herders feel
their frustrations are going
unheard we have thousands of gigawatts
of electricity from gelir that we are
supplying but we are still struggling
for electricity today there's no one
listening to our plate as the third
largest consumer of energy in the world
India plans to raise nonfossil fuel
power to 500 gaw by 2030 that means even
more energy plants and wind turbines are
on the horizon all while facing demands
from local
communities 10c trivia which of these
waterways would you find in the US state
of Washington Missouri river pomac river
Puget Sound or lake her
on put your hands up if you said pet
sound located in the Pacific Northwest
it was explored and named by British
Navigator George Vancouver in
1792 next up let's take a field trip
Tacoma Washington here we come we could
Snowshoe hike in Island blow glass and
shuck oysters all in the same day
because it's so far north it has some of
the longest days in the continental US
derck vanam shows us just how much we
can pack in to those long daylight
hours there's no shortage of things to
do and see in Tacoma Washington and
because it's so far north there are
nearly 16 hours of daylight in the
summer to help you pack it all in my day
begins on Mount reneer on this Misty
morning I hike across a fresh dusting of
snow there are 26 glaciers on reneer and
over 35 square miles of the mountain is
covered in snow and I year round but I
can't stay long because I need to make
the 2-hour Journey back down to the
Puget Sound there be oysters in there
from snowshoeing to shucking that's
right oysters look at that this the size
of my head mollusks thrive in these
Waters and the minterbrook Oyster
Company harvests thousands of oysters
here every day when that water comes in
through the Straits of wuka and it
flushes into the sound it doesn't flush
all the way back out so what you have is
real rich growth of algae for the
oysters it's the algae it's what the
oysters eat that makes it so
[Laughter]
awesome the Puget Sound also has an
abundance of islands including vashan
after a short Ferry trip you can be
transported to what feels like another
world berries are going to start popping
here pretty soon hike along wooded
Trails Rocky beaches but it's also home
to nearly 11,000 full-time
residents some Tacoma residents
including Dale chah Huli helped put the
Northwest on the map as a mecca for
glass art I don't think I've ever seen
somebody so comfortable with a
flamethrower yeah right so I had to
check out the Tacoma Museum of Glass
where new works of glass art are blown
and molded in front of a live audience
most museums are historical and maybe
the artists aren't alive anymore hello
if you want to see worldclass artist
working in a state-of-the-art facility
then this is the place to
[Applause]
come today's store getting a 10 out of
10 a truly all inspiring display of
coordination and skill I'm talking about
blind soccer at the par Olympics it was
first introduced at the Athens par
Olympics in 2004 and has been featured
in every gamees since outfielders have
to be completely blind to play and they
even wear ey Shades to make it an equal
playing field for all so how exactly
does it work CNN's Patrick Sun breaks it
down at the Paris par Olympics athletes
will have a range of different
impairments one of which is vision loss
which can appear in multiple forms as a
result of the 22 sports featured at the
games nine include competitors with
visual impairments and this is one of
the most exciting ones blind soccer all
four Outfield players must wear an ey
shade to keep it fair however
goalkeepers must be fully or partially
sighted and there are a few other
differences from the Sport's able-bodied
counterpart as well walls along the
sidelines keep the ball in play while
guides behind each goal direct the
attack usually crowds of soccer matches
are boisterous but in the blind version
of the beautiful game they're asked to
keep it down this is so that players can
hear the ball which contains tiny bells
that rattle when kicked and when players
do go for the bowl to avoid collisions
they yell boy or I'm going in Spanish a
nod to the game's Iberian Roots despite
originating in Spain Brazil has won Gold
at every edition of the Paralympics
since the game was introduced into the
program but can the celisa do it yet

semi-final today the gold medal match is
