Welcome viewers worldwide to CNN Student News. I'm Carl Azuz.
-
We're starting in the nation of Turkey where the leaders
-
20 countries have gathered for the annual G20 Summit.
-
Usually, it focuses on global economic growth,
-
but the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, France
-
are dominating discussions at the G20.
-
US President, Barrack Obama, held a press conference yesterday.
-
He spent a good part of it defending US strategy for fighting ISIS,
-
as criticism increases that America isn't doing enough
-
to defeat the terrorist group.
-
There have been a few who suggested that we should put
-
large numbers of US troops on the ground.
-
It is not just my view, but the view of my closest military
-
and civilian advisers that that would be a mistake.
-
The president plans to keep the current US strategy in place,
-
which partly involves air strikes on ISIS targets
-
and helping local groups fight ISIS.
-
The Obama administration also says it's sticking with plans
-
to accept 10, 000 Syrian refugees in the US next year.
-
Yesterday, at least 19 US states announced they were
-
against allowing Syrian refugees to resettle there.
-
18 of them are led by Republican governors.
-
One is by a democrat.
-
And at least five states said they'd accept refugees.
-
All of them led by Democratic governors.
-
Part of the reason for the controversy is that French authorities reported
-
at least one of the terrorist attackers had entered France
-
with the flood of refugees from Syria,
-
and six of the terrorists had reportedly spent time in Syria.
-
The US State Department says it has a process that
-
allows for the safer settlement of Syrian refugees.
-
The director of the Central Intelligence Agency says
-
the Paris attacks probably weren't a one- off event.
-
So, security's being increased across Europe.
-
French President Francois Hollande announced 5, 000 positions
-
would be added to his country's paramilitary police force.
-
Seven attackers were killed in the Paris assault,
-
but the Islamic terrorist group ISIS,
-
which claimed responsibility says eight attackers were involved.
-
So, the search for suspects continues.
-
The US and France say they are increasing the ways they share intelligence.
-
When we're talking about terror investigations across 50 states,
-
hundreds or thousands of investigations simultaneously,
-
you can't go into a single investigation as a one- off every time.
-
It's not a new process every time you open a case.
-
There are simple ways to consider how to break down a case.
-
So, let's go through six or eight of them. You wanna talk about money,
-
where the money for the group is coming from.
-
You wanna talk about travel, whether the individuals in the group
-
have gone someplace to receive training.
-
You wanna know who the conspirators are.
-
You wanna know who's at the core of this spiderweb of conspiracy.
-
You wanna know what we call facilitators. Who, for example,
-
provided documentation? Who provided assistance to travel overseas?
-
You want to know about documents, passports, drivers license.
-
You wanna know the critical question, do they have access to weapons and explosives?
-
When you're looking at a case like this,
-
you have to understand these initially to break down the case
-
to determine its complexity.
-
Among all these, there are two or three that I would focus on
-
to ensure that you own the case.
-
The first and most significant,
-
do I have one spider in the spiderweb or ten?
-
Second thing you want to focus on,
-
do these guys have the capability to do something tonight
-
in America that threatens a woman or child or a family?
-
Last and most interesting, travel.
-
In my experience, as soon as you see travel to a place like Yemen,
-
Somalia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.
-
They think in a fundamentally more sophisticated way than
-
somebody who has not had access to overseas training.
-
So, you walk in the room in the morning,
-
7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't say, hey, we've got another terror threat in New York,
-
or Chicago, or Los Angeles. Say, hey, we've got another case.
-
There is a way to break down this case so not everyone is new,
-
and there are some things we wanna prioritize to ensure that every time,
-
we can take it down clean and neat. Thank you.

The American Academy of Pediatrics says the use of antibiotics
-
in farm animals is threatening the children who eat meat.
-
How? Well, antibiotics are used to kill infections.
-
But there's been an increase in peoples' resistance to certain antibiotics.
-
Meaning the drugs aren't as effective as they used to be.
-
Health officials say part of the reason for this is that doctors
-
sometimes prescribe antibiotics when they're not necessary.
-
The pediatrics organization, which focuses on children's health,
-
says another reason for resistance is because antibiotics are overused
-
in farm animals. So, they're encouraging parents to buy meat that has been raised without antibiotics.
-
Why do some farmers use them? For one thing,
-
they help keep the animals healthy. And they help them gain weight,
-
which makes the animals more profitable for farmers.
-
Western France is where we begin today's Roll Call.
-
A warm welcome to our viewers in [ FOREIGN ].
-
We're glad to be part of your day at University Institute of Technology.
-
The western US is up next. In the city of Bend, Oregon,
-
don't tread on the Diamondbacks of High Desert Middle School.
-
And finally, to West Virginia, the Applemen are here.
-
Hello to everyone at Musselman High School in the community of Inwood.
-
We recently reported on companies that were looking to use low- orbit satellites
-
to bring internet access to people who don't have it.
-
One of the downsides we mentioned, space junk.
-
NASA estimates there are around 500, 000 pieces of space junk
-
floating around above us. Could be spacecrafts that don't work,
-
parts of rockets we've launched, garbage or debris from previous missions.
-
Scientists are concerned about this junk potentially threatening future missions
-
or hitting something if it falls back to Earth.
-
There's some speculation that it could be,
-
maybe a spent third stage from one of the Apollo moon missions
-
that's been going around in system lunar space for this many decades,
-
because it's in a highly elliptical orbit. And so,
-
that's kinda what causes it to come in so sharply.
-
Staying in the sky. The uses for drones, unmanned aircraft, continue to expand.
-
We've talked about them in the military, in search and rescue,
-
in getting video of hard to reach disaster areas.
-
How about their potential in sports? You might not need a pilot's license for this.
-
It really feels like nothing you can describe.
-
It feels like you're flying. The trick, really, is in the camera and the transmission.
-
The transmission of the video signal to the pilot while he's flying,
-
he's watching it through these goggles.
-
It's so immersive that your brain really thinks you're in the air frame.
-
Many pilots cannot fly standing up.
-
They have to sit down, because you literally would sway your body
-
to follow the motions of your air frame.
-
Drone racing, then, is basically you getting together with a bunch of friends,
-
and race these air frames together, chasing each other through very tricky courses,
-
and determining whose the best pilot and gets there first.
-
Drone racing has been just a hobby.
-
I think now the challenges starts where, we're really thinking that there's a sport
-
in drone racing. At the Drone Nationals, we had thousands of people
-
view the race online, and it showed us that there's huge demand
-
for the pilots that are still dispersed around the world
-
to join in and watch an event. I think, that in five years,
-
we will have a very vibrant and well- established drone racing sport,
-
and all the infrastructure to support it, as well.
-
Using puns, we can drone on about the plans drone up
-
and the skill drone upon to droniminate such a sport.
-
Could get pretty drone- out. But one thing that's undroneable,
-
it's certainly a sport for control freaks.
-
Teachers, we've corrected a technical issue.
-
You can now send us an email once again from the feedback tab
-
at CNNStudentNews. com. We don't accept Roll Call requests from that link,
-
but anything else that's on your mind, we'd love to hear about.
-
Have a great Tuesday.
