00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:14,169
Hello and welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS.
2
00:00:14,170 --> 00:00:15,250
My name is Carl Azuz.
3
00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:18,580
It`s great to have you watching our commercial-free
show this Tuesday.
4
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:24,180
In the U.S., the 2016 presidential campaign
season is on. It kicked off yesterday with
5
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:27,231
an announcement from Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican
6
00:00:27,231 --> 00:00:30,600
candidate from Texas who said he was running
for president.
7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,440
The election won`t be until next November
8. But announcing they`re running helps candidates
8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,140
ramp up their fundraising, shape their messages
9
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:41,309
and campaign strategies and reach out to voters.
10
00:00:41,309 --> 00:00:46,260
In the 2016 election, there`s no incumbent
president. President Obama has reached to
11
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:50,10
two term limit set by the Twenty-Second Amendment
to "The
12
00:00:50,10 --> 00:00:52,890
Constitution." It was ratified in 1951.
13
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:59,770
So what this means is that the field for 2016
is wide open for both Republicans and Democrats
14
00:00:59,770 --> 00:01:01,880
who want to move to the White House.
15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,780
The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. "Constitution"
abolished slavery in the U.S. in 1865. The
16
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:10,390
United Nations Universal Declaration of Human
17
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:14,20
Rights abolished slavery worldwide in 1948.
18
00:01:14,20 --> 00:01:20,369
And yet, there are more slaves on earth today
than at any point in human history.
19
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:25,330
A few years ago, CNN launched The Freedom
Project. Its goals include showing the horrors
20
00:01:25,330 --> 00:01:28,539
of modern-day slavery, exposing the criminals
who trade
21
00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:33,870
in human lives, amplifying the voices of the
slaves themselves and highlighting the success
22
00:01:33,870 --> 00:01:40,979
stories of those working to abolish slavery.
23
00:01:40,979 --> 00:01:47,119
Between 20 million and 36 million -- that`s
the estimated number of people enslaved worldwide
24
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:48,491
right now. Modern-day
25
00:01:48,491 --> 00:01:52,660
slavery can be found on every continent.
26
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:54,179
Survivors
27
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:59,170
The stories of the survivors are painful,
shocking and sometimes hard to hear.
28
00:01:59,170 --> 00:02:00,170
Ivory Coast
29
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:08,690
On this farm, we find Abdul. He survived three
years of work. He`s just 10. He earns no wages
30
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:10,60
for his work, he says.
31
00:02:10,60 --> 00:02:11,60
India
32
00:02:11,60 --> 00:02:15,980
Gerva Waiti (ph) is the mother of three. Her
eldest daughter should not be this skilled
33
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:17,920
at brick making. She is only
34
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:18,920
five years old.
35
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:19,920
Mauritania
36
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,980
I think about slavery. Yes, I think about
it. Also, a person like me will never forget
37
00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:29,879
about the torture he has suffered.
38
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:35,739
The International Labor Organization says
human trafficking is a $150 billion a year
39
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:36,739
industry
40
00:02:36,739 --> 00:02:41,689
unraveling the human criminal enterprises
involved is vital in putting a stop to it
41
00:02:41,689 --> 00:02:46,809
Solutions
Celebrities like Manny Pacquiao are speaking
42
00:02:46,809 --> 00:02:48,439
up to make a change.
43
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:54,180
I believe that we can end human trafficking
in our lifetime. The challenge for us is to
44
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:56,349
make this impact sustainable.
45
00:02:56,349 --> 00:03:01,149
Top chocolate maker Nestle vows to end child
labor on cocoa plantations.
46
00:03:01,150 --> 00:03:05,480
We will work with the world global foundation
and build schools. We will work with The International
47
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,649
Cocoa Initiative.
48
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:12,49
GoodWeave USA is trying to put an end to child
labor in rug factories by putting the GoodWeave
49
00:03:12,49 --> 00:03:13,529
seal of approval on
50
00:03:13,529 --> 00:03:15,220
handmade rugs.
51
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:20,879
Not only does it mean that the product is
child labor-free and not only does it mean
52
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:23,189
that the place where that rug was made
53
00:03:23,189 --> 00:03:28,769
was inspected, but it also means a percentage
of the purchase price is educating children.
54
00:03:28,769 --> 00:03:35,290
Through the Do Something Now Campaign, thousands
of Christian students come together each year,
55
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:36,489
donating their own
56
00:03:36,489 --> 00:03:40,510
money. They`ve raised millions of dollars
for charities who fight human trafficking
57
00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:43,89
and care for survivors.
58
00:03:43,89 --> 00:03:49,699
It`s great to see that when someone is willing
to stand up, everyone is happy to follow.
59
00:03:49,699 --> 00:03:50,709
Shoutout
60
00:03:50,709 --> 00:03:51,870
Time for the Shoutout.
61
00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:55,959
Which of these is not true about electric
vehicles as compared with gasoline powered
62
00:03:55,959 --> 00:03:56,959
vehicles.
63
00:03:56,959 --> 00:03:57,959
You know what to do.
64
00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:03,159
Is it lower fuel costs, greater range, lower
emissions or higher sticker price.
65
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,269
You`ve got three seconds.
66
00:04:05,269 --> 00:04:06,590
Go.
67
00:04:06,590 --> 00:04:14,459
All of these statements are generally true
about electric vehicles except option B. Their
68
00:04:14,459 --> 00:04:15,799
range is shorter than that
69
00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:17,170
of gas-powered cars.
70
00:04:17,170 --> 00:04:20,90
That`s your answer and that`s your Shoutout.
71
00:04:20,89 --> 00:04:26,219
There`s actually a term for when people fear
running out of power in an electric car. It`s
72
00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:28,850
called range anxiety. Most electric cars
73
00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:33,970
can travel between 70 and 100 miles before
needing to be charged. There are some models
74
00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:36,900
that get considerably more mileage, but they
cost
75
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,10
considerably more money.
76
00:04:39,10 --> 00:04:43,730
Charging electric cars is cheaper than filling
up a gas tank, but because it takes a lot
77
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:49,40
longer, some scientists are seeking solutions.
78
00:04:49,40 --> 00:04:57,410
Typically, an all-electric car can travel
about 90 miles before needing a recharge.
79
00:04:57,410 --> 00:04:59,60
But a newly unveiled tire
80
00:04:59,60 --> 00:05:04,380
concept from Goodyear aims to generate extra
energy from where the rubber meets the road.
81
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:09,210
Tires That Could Charge Your Car
82
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:14,849
You might call them energy tires. Goodyear
isn`t offering a lot of details about how
83
00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:17,380
it works, but here`s the idea.
84
00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:23,290
Sunlight and pavement friction would generate
heat inside the tire, which would be converted
85
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:26,600
into electricity, which would help charge
an
86
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,100
election cycle`s battery.
87
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:35,470
It`s still just a concept, but if it`s successful
and carmakers show interest, the idea could
88
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:38,630
help win over drivers who reject electric
vehicles
89
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:41,350
because of so-called range anxiety.
90
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:43,290
Roll Call
91
00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:46,890
Let`s see who`s watching today.
92
00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:51,150
Here are some of the schools that requested
a mention at cnnstudentnews.com.
93
00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:55,969
Farmington Junior High School is in The Beehive
State. That`s Utah. And The Huskies are hunkered
94
00:05:55,970 --> 00:05:57,870
down in Farmington.
95
00:05:57,870 --> 00:06:03,000
New Mexico is known as The Land of Enchantment.
And in the city of Roswell, we`re online at
96
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,700
the Chaves County Juvenile Detention Center.
97
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:10,620
And on the East Coast, in The Garden State,
hello to The Hawks. They`re soaring over Memorial
98
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,650
Middle School. It`s in the township of
99
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:14,270
Freehold.
100
00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:18,169
From a look at what could be the tires of
the future to a look at the technology of
101
00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:23,191
the past, boom boxes, Walkmans, Discmans,
tapes, some of your
102
00:06:23,191 --> 00:06:27,940
teachers can tell you about life with these
long before smart phones were invented.
103
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:32,780
For a little fun on a Tuesday, we`re looking
at how technology that`s obsolete still has
104
00:06:32,780 --> 00:06:36,679
an influence on what people are buying now.
105
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Tech in Retrospect
106
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:47,549
We are more connected than ever these days.
We listen to music, we check our e-mail, we
107
00:06:47,550 --> 00:06:49,140
take photos, we do just about
108
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:50,820
everything on this device.
109
00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:54,409
We decided to take a little bit of a trip
down memory lane.
110
00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:55,900
First up, the boom box.
111
00:06:55,900 --> 00:07:03,000
I don`t even know how to do it anymore. What
was like very cool about the boom box is it
112
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,389
was almost kind of like a statement and it
brought music
113
00:07:05,389 --> 00:07:06,389
to the street.
114
00:07:06,389 --> 00:07:10,270
Even today, you look at something like the
jam box, it`s almost like kind of a throwback
115
00:07:10,270 --> 00:07:13,690
to the boom box.
116
00:07:13,690 --> 00:07:16,490
Yes.
117
00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:20,270
So the boom box was this very like social,
everyone listening to music together type
118
00:07:20,270 --> 00:07:22,710
experience. But it we are heavy. And sometimes
you just
119
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:27,289
want to be alone with your music. So that
kind of paved the way, also, for the Walkman.
120
00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:29,780
These are perfect. There we go.
121
00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:32,659
This completely changed the way we dealt with
music, right?
122
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:36,240
The commercials show people like running around
jumping. And it seems kind of laughable now,
123
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,960
but like this was the first kind of device
that
124
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,789
enabled you to do that. This paved the way
for our smart phones where we`re just listening
125
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:47,70
to music and streaming music online.
126
00:07:47,70 --> 00:07:52,390
Walking around, kind of bopping around. I
didn`t do that. I didn`t do that.
127
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:56,919
Before there is Instagram, and you could just
take a photo on your phone and just see it,
128
00:07:56,919 --> 00:08:01,250
there was the instant photo. Boom. Instead
of
129
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:04,610
going taking a picture and then having to
go develop it, it was kind of this instant
130
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:07,900
gratification. You`ve got to do this. Wait.
It`s just this
131
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:11,979
idea that you could be around the dinner table
with your friends and then you want to get
132
00:08:11,980 --> 00:08:14,280
a picture and you want it now, that`s what
Polaroid did,
133
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,530
which is something that was very revolutionary
at the time. And it definitely paved ways
134
00:08:18,530 --> 00:08:20,138
for these companies like Instagram.
135
00:08:20,139 --> 00:08:24,419
How long does it take?
136
00:08:24,419 --> 00:08:29,659
We have our smart phones and we have Facebook
and Twitter and Instagram. But before a lot
137
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:31,540
of these technologies, there`s technology
that
138
00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:36,430
inherently changed the way we interacted,
how we consumed music, how we took photos.
139
00:08:36,429 --> 00:08:41,189
So what we`re seeing now is a little bit of
kind of a reinvention of technology. There`s
140
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:44,149
actually a case for the iPhone that enables
you to
141
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:48,139
print photos. You have all sorts of different
types of Bluetooth speakers that are looking
142
00:08:48,139 --> 00:08:51,309
more and more like kind of an old school boom
box.
143
00:08:51,309 --> 00:08:55,629
These are the devices that came before and
these are the ones that kind of made you remember
144
00:08:55,629 --> 00:08:58,149
when things were a little bit more tangible.
And
145
00:08:58,149 --> 00:09:03,199
that`s going to be a market in the future.
146
00:09:03,199 --> 00:09:04,758
Before We Go
147
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:09,660
Before we go, the dog knew something awesome
was about to happen. Sergeant Paul DePaolo
148
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:12,89
had been serving in Afghanistan for seven
149
00:09:12,89 --> 00:09:17,19
months. His dog missed him. So when the door
opened, the animal went bananas.
150
00:09:17,19 --> 00:09:22,199
His name is Simba. And we ain`t lying. And
don`t think his master is neglecting his wife
151
00:09:22,199 --> 00:09:25,50
and son. They`d already brought him home.
They sent
152
00:09:25,50 --> 00:09:29,660
the sergeant through the front door so the
dog could welcome him in his own special way.
153
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:34,230
The animal was Simbally thrilled, so happy
his master was bark home. Of course, he wanted
154
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:37,160
to lap up all the attention. In seven months,
it was
155
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,800
the greetest thing to happen.
156
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,349
I`m your news hound, Carl Azuz.
157
00:09:40,350 --> 00:09:41,610
More stories and puns tomorrow.
