My name is Carla Zeus in the first region we're going to this September 23rd is the Middle East.

The nation of Iran says it had nothing to do with the recent attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, But Saudi Arabia and the United States say Iran was behind it, and America is taking more steps to try to isolate the Middle Eastern country.

The Trump Administration announced new sanctions penalties on Iran's economy last Friday.

The goal to cut off international money flowing into Iran and the U.

S government says Iran is reacting in desperation to these moves by quote attacking its neighbors.

The American military announced that it's sending more troops and missile defense equipment to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, two countries across the Persian Gulf from Iran.

Iran's foreign minister says if any attacks are made in revenge for the Saudi oil strikes will result in quote all out war.

So he also says Iran hopes to avoid conflict.

There is a group that says it's responsible for the attacks on Saudi oil facilities.

Houthi rebels who've been fighting for control of Yemen say the attacks were made because Saudi Arabia has been fighting the Houthis in defense of Yemen's government.

But Saudi Arabia says the weapons used on the oil plants were Iranian made and that they were likely launched from north of Saudi Arabia in the direction of Iran instead of from the southwest in the direction of Yemen.

Tensions have been simmering in the Middle East since the US government pulled out of a controversial nuclear deal with Iran last year.

The recent attack on Saudi oil facilities has made things worse.

It's been more than three weeks now since Hurricane Dori and hit the northern Bahamas.

At that time, it was the most powerful classifications of Storm a Category five, and its destruction was worsened by the fact that it moved so slowly once it made landfall.

It just sat there and blasted the islands.

In one community alone, Marsh harbor, more than a £1,000,000,000 of trash is lying around parts of homes, cars, boats, belongings.

The country hasn't worked out how it's gonna clean that up yet, and it's just part of the estimated $7 billion in damage that Hurricane Dorian caused in the Bahamas, plastered by with flows, towels, toiletries, you know, in a few shirts was basically it.

So I'm pretty much starting all over, So basically everything is gone.

Sean Russell is a physical education teacher from the east end of Grand Bahama, one of several Bahamian islands were Hurricane Dorian wreaked havoc, leaving over 50 dead, more than 1000 missing and countless homes wrecked.

After this, I really don't think the bombers will be waited out the storm in his sister's house until rising waters forced them to leave evening time.

It started to rise so fast, I said, You know what?

Had I stayed in that house, I don't think I would have been ableto make it through that.

In my case, I'm starting from the bottom, which most persons is starting from the bottom.

Uh, some persons may still love their jobs Where I work time.

I don't know if I have a job with nowhere to live and the school where he worked destroyed.

Sean was able to book his passage off the island, where an uncertain future awaits upon his return.

However, I still would like to have a better life, regardless, if it's in the Bahamas for wherever the Lord leads me, we're starting all over again because I lost everything.

Basically, what I have is overnight bag with a few clothes that I took over when I left during the time of the song.

But everything starts, however, from a lot.

Landmarks was completed in 18 84 Mount Rushmore Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty for Transcontinental Railroad.

At the time it was completed in 18 84 the Washington Monument was the tallest building in the world.

At 555 feet and five inches tall, the Washington Monument was open to the public a few years later.

It's been closed multiple times since then, sometimes for restoration, sometimes for natural events like an earthquake that struck Virginia in 2011 that caused 100 and 50 cracks in the monument, and sometimes it's been closed because of its elevator.

It broke down 24 times between 2014 and 2016.

The monument was closed to get at that time while renovations, a new visitor center and a brand new elevator were installed.

And on the day after it reopened last Friday, the new, fully automated elevator broke.

No one was in it at the time, but some visitors were stranded for an hour at the top stop on the monument.

Workers don't know why the lift malfunctioned, but they did get it moving.

Takes just over a minute to ferry visitors up 500 feet.

The original elevator was powered by steam and that Reid took more than 10 minutes.

We reported last week that smartphone sales around the world, where shrinking is people keep their current devices longer or by older models.

But the use of smartphones is on the rise.

More people are spending more time on them and possibly getting addicted to them.

In South Korea, an estimated 95% of the population owns a smartphone.

That's the highest percentage of any country in the world.

In the South Korean government, which has promoted technology, is also offering camps to help young people unplugged from it.

It was four o'clock in the morning when Uterine realized she'd been on her phone for 13 hours.

This was when the 16 year old decided she needed help.

You went to a summer camp with a difference.

This one is for smartphone addicts, one of 16 government sponsored camps across South Korea.

These girls spend 12 days with no access to their phones.

At first I started using it simply because I was bored, but now I just use it for no reason.

These teenagers attend one on one group and family counseling sessions on take part in alternative activities that can replace the obsession with their smartphones.

There are also programs to educate the parents on the first day of the camp, kits of AG noise looks on their faces.

They say things like, I want to go back home.

But that's just for the 1st 2 days in 2018 98% of adolescence in South Korea used a smartphone almost 30% of them are over dependent on them, According to government figures.

Thes teenagers get obsessed with gains and refused to go to school, and cyber bullying and arguments with parents have become more serious use.

Father became increasingly worried about her and enforced a time limit of two hours a day on her phone.

But then one morning, I didn't know what she was watching, whether she was watching YouTube or playing games.

If I talked to her about it, there would be an argument.

There are increasing concerns about the medical impact of excessive smartphone usage.

It can weaken the frontal lobe of the brain.

Major symptoms off the weakening of the frontal lobe are depression and anxiety, and it becomes harder to control impulses or anger.

The ability to suppress or overcome difficulties becomes weak.

One months after the camp ended, you says she believes it helped her.

I love love will be a lie if I said I don't use my smartphone, but it's you that the duration and the number of times I use that have decreased.

If you think the best place for yellow fin tuna is on a sushi roll.

Some engineers at the University of Virginia disagree.

They're calling it a tuna, but because it's vaguely shaped like the fish, but with no fins except for the tail, and it can swim about three feet per second.

Researchers want to study the physics of how fish swim, and their work could be used to help develop new underwater vehicles.

It's a souped up to nut up mechanized robo fish.

Wicked tuna in disguise is a sight for sore Sakai's If they're a Cuda, lend a golden perch, tomb or in death grouper research bullheaded in its purpose to go trout beneath the surface.
