00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:13.190
What's up and welcome to the show. I'm

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:15.270
Coy Wire. This is CNN 10 and we are

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:17.029
kicking things off a little different

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.429
today. We're going to sneak in a shout

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:21.429
out from the jump because Mr. Husk at

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:23.590
Fiser Middle School in Aurora, Illinois

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.630
had themselves a sneaker design contest

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.550
sent us these custom kicks. We are

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:30.470
rolling to our wall of friends for the

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.030
best 10 minutes in news. We begin in

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:34.950
Venezuela where life after the fall of

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.950
former leader Nicolas Maduro remains

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.150
uncertain months after his capture by US

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:42.709
forces. Maduro and his wife Celia Flores

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.470
have been imprisoned in the United

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:47.350
States since January. Deli Rodriguez is

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:48.869
now leading the country. Many

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:51.430
Venezuelans say that very little has

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:53.750
changed. Some say political repression

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:55.750
has started to wayne. Issues like

00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:57.910
political prisoners and economic woes

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.150
continue to weigh heavily on many people

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.150
living there. Our David Culver got a

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:04.549
rare firsthand look at what postmaduro

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:06.550
life is like in the capital city of

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:13.350
Caracus.

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:15.109
>> He says you can't go any closer because

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:16.550
the police have blocked it off. And you

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.870
can see they've got a big barricade up.

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:21.190
A public demonstration and we can't get

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.190
in. These Venezuelans are calling on

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.510
their government to raise wages and ease

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:27.590
repression. The police keep turning

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:31.590
folks back.

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:32.710
>> And he's trying to tell us that there's

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:35.510
another side to go to. We've driven all

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:37.749
the way around this area for about 30

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:39.030
minutes and we haven't found a way to

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.390
enter.

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.270
It looks like now we might have found

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.350
one possible entry here, but I mean it's

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:49.670
now towards the end of the march and

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.429
demonstration.

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.670
She she's saying elections have to come

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.310
for a radical change.

00:01:56.320 --> 00:01:58.789
>> He says they they took meaning the US

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.429
Maduro but left the rest of the system

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:02.630
in place.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:03.350
>> Dexi

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.429
>> Deli as an acting president Deli

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.990
Rodriguez who governs behind layers of

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.309
security. Several blocks of armed

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:10.869
guards.

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.790
>> Even got a mobile command force right

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.110
there. Not surprising given how her

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.430
predecessors rule ended on January 3rd

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:19.750
when US forces captured Nicolas Maduro

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.990
and his wife Celia Flores. Their names

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.949
and faces now plastered across Karakas.

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:27.750
Billboards, graffiti, homemade signs.

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:30.710
The government at least wants them back.

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:32.710
The reality is Maduro, the man who ran

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.470
this country for some 13 years, even

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:36.309
though his face is everywhere here in

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.190
Karakas while he's in custody locked up

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:42.630
in the US. the system he built that is

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:44.309
still standing and that's not lost on

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:45.990
the people here

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.910
>> especially the families of the more than

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:50.550
450 political prisoners still in

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.110
custody. We've driven about an hour

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.110
outside the capital. We're headed to El

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.509
Rodeo which is considered to be one of

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:00.070
the better known prisons where many of

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.990
these political prisoners are believed

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.309
to be held. At the prison gate, family

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.309
members live out of tents waiting for

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.790
weekly visits. And because they don't

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.790
have the money to make the trip multiple

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.430
times, they camp out. And on days like

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:18.390
today, they have visits with their loved

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.670
ones.

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.589
Though the repression has not totally

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.430
lifted, it has loosened a lot.

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:30.789
It's also worth noting that not everyone

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:33.110
feels like the United States should be

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.830
involved in Venezuela matters. At a

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.430
progovernment rally, we had folks coming

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:39.990
up to us to say Venezuela is not a

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.949
colony. That sovereignty here matters to

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:44.710
them.

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:46.949
But for most here, the deepest suffering

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.589
is economic. The official minimum income

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.470
just went up to $240 a month. Most

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:55.110
Venezuelans earn far less and food alone

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.350
costs nearly three times that amount.

00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.830
There is a small bubble of wealth, nice

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.110
cars, weekend clubs, but most here live

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.509
like Maria Perez's family. Inside her

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:07.670
parents' home, the scarcity is hard to

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:12.869
miss.

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.789
>> Is your dad?

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:17.830
>> Yeah.

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:20.150
>> She said her dad is a diabetic. Her

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.469
mom's got severe arthritis. When it

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:25.270
comes to health care, it's it's really

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:26.950
bad.

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:29.430
>> Her home is a 20-minute walk uphill from

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:33.430
her parents. No real roads to get there.

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:34.629
>> Well, they only really have running

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.150
water, she said, every 45 days.

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.670
And so, sorry, I'm out of breath a

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.749
little bit, but the remainder of the

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.790
days, they rely on these big tanks.

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.950
Venezuela's leaders acknowledge how dire

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.270
the economic situation is and they often

00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:52.070
blame US sanctions. Though the Trump

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:53.670
administration points to years of

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.590
corruption, mismanagement, and

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.070
authoritarian rule as the cause, most

00:04:58.080 --> 00:04:59.270
everyone that we spoke with over the

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:01.270
past few days has given us some version

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:03.590
of the same sentiment, and that is that

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.830
they're grateful that the US captured

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:08.629
Maduro. They're glad that he's gone. But

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.230
as to what happens next when you ask

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.550
them that question, they stress that is

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.629
for Venezuelans to decide. Though they

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.710
also emphasize they need the rest of the

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.590
world to keep on watching.

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.510
Pop quiz hot shot. Alligators and

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:24.150
crocodiles only coexist one place. Where

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.110
is it? Brazil's Pentanol, Amazon River

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.909
Basin, Florida Everglades, or Oki Finoi

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:33.590
Swamp?

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.590
If you said the Florida Everglades,

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.310
crack on. The famed River of Grass is

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:39.670
the only place on Earth you can find

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.469
both American alligators and crocodiles.

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:45.029
Chomp on that. Now, to a very serious

00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:46.950
situation in the state of Florida. At

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:49.110
the time of this taping, 58 wildfires

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.909
were burning nearly 29,000 acres across

00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:53.749
the state, including parts of the

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.230
Everglades. One of the biggest, the Max

00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.029
Road fire in Broward County, expanded to

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:01.990
4,800 acres, covering roads with smoke,

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.710
crushing visibility, and impacting air

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.790
quality. Firefighters from local and

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.790
state agencies along with the National

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.950
Guard have all joined the battle. The

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:13.670
good news, the fire was reported 60%

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.830
contained at the time of this taping.

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:17.510
But here's the wild part. The fire

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:19.590
actually created its own weather, a

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.790
microclimate with these towering uh fire

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.350
clouds, officially called pyrouumulus

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.510
clouds. They form when intense heat

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:29.830
sends humid air, smoke, and other

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:32.230
aerosolized particles rocketing high

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.230
into the atmosphere. And did you know if

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.230
these clouds grow large enough, they'd

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.350
be capable of creating thunderstorms?

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.590
From fire clouds to another stunning

00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.390
moment in the sky, rainbow clouds seen

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:46.870
from Bogore in Indonesia. It's a rare

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:48.710
phenomenon, and our meteorologist Chris

00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.629
Warren tells us all the things that need

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.990
to line up just right to see them. Video

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.469
out of Indonesia shows a massive cloud

00:06:56.479 --> 00:06:58.790
with a rainbow-like halo glowing at the

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.710
top. And it doesn't even look real, but

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.430
it is. The science behind it is the same

00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:05.430
thing you've seen in a soap bubble or an

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:07.589
oil slick. It's called iridescence.

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:09.350
Inside that cloud are tiny water

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.670
droplets or ice crystals. Sunlight hits

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.430
them and splits into a spectrum of

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.749
colors. Some colors turn vivid, others

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.990
fade. This is rare because everything

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.629
has to line up perfectly. A thin cloud,

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.350
uniform cloud particles, and you in

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.430
exactly the right place to catch it.

00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:27.350
Miss any one of those, and this

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.510
disappears. It's the same physics you're

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:38.950
used to seeing scaled up to the sky.

00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:40.870
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:42.950
bus ride with no plans of going

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:45.589
anywhere. In the Swiss city of Boden,

00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:47.430
artist brothers Frank and Patrick

00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:49.909
Ricklin designed a conceptual piece of

00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:53.270
art, a public bus called the Line Zero.

00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:55.029
This party on wheels has one

00:07:55.039 --> 00:07:58.469
destination, social connection.

00:07:58.479 --> 00:08:01.029
>> It's just so unplanned and spontaneous.

00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:02.710
We sang on the bus. We talked to

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.710
everyone. We turned on our phone

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.550
flashlights in the tunnel. It was just

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.350
amazing. We even had an ice cream party.

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.110
The goal is to help its passengers

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.430
escape their normal routine. With no set

00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:15.830
route, Line Zero will be part of the

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:18.309
Swiss bus network for three weeks. After

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.710
that, the Bros are hoping to bring Line

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.950
Zero to other parts of Switzerland. In a

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:24.629
world where we're usually rushing from

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.309
one place to another, these artists are

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.950
telling us to just slow down, stop, and

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:31.350
roll with it.

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.589
>> Instead of efficiency, chance reigns.

00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:35.670
Instead of goal orientation, there's

00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:38.389
openness to what happens along the way.

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.070
And we see an incredible quality in

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.389
that, especially in a time, in a

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.949
digitized world where people spend 90%

00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:46.550
of their free time glued to their

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:47.750
smartphones.

00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:49.350
>> All right. All right. Congrats to our

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.670
Your Word Wednesday winners, Mr. Griema

00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:53.430
and friends at Da Vinci High School in

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.350
Davis, California, for submitting

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.990
aerosolize, a verb meaning to convert a

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.870
substance to a fine mist or spray. And

00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:03.590
one more spirited shout out today. You

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.990
ought to see this blanket. The Spartans,

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.230
Mr. Larson and crew at Watford City

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.630
Middle School in North Dakota blanketing

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:13.430
us in glory. It's incredible stuff. You

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.750
did a project about ancient Greece. That

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:17.670
is awesome. Go out, make it an awesome

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:19.670
Wednesday, everyone. I'm Koi Wire. This

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:24.200
is CNN 10 and I'll see you tomorrow.
