First up we are talking about a deadly attack that happened in Afghanistan over the weekend. More than dozens of people were killed including nine Americans. four of them were U.S troops.According to officials, two british civilians, a canadian soldier, a citizen of Kosovo and four Afghans also died in this attack. It all happened in the city of Kabul, that's the capital of Afghanistan. A suicide bomber drove his car into armored bus that was a part of a convoy from NATO. Taleban said it was responsible for this attack. The Taleban is the millitan group that ruled most of Afghanistan before the U.S. led the invasion that kick the Taleban out of power in 2001.

In the U.S, parts of the east coast are dealing with the impact of a major snow storm that hit over the weekend. You might expect this kind of thing in January, not in October. The early winter weather dumped snow from Maryland and Pennsylvania up into New York, New Jersey and farther northeast.
Some spots got more than 9 inches of snow in less than a day and this storm is being blamed for several deaths. Millions of people had their power knocked out. Travellers were strandend when flights were cancelled and airports closed. An ireporter shot this video of trees that fell under the way the weight of the snow. Big problems in some areas was that since leaves hadn't fallen yet, trees accumulated more snow. they took on even more weight than they nomally might and that weighed them down and weighed them even more causing them to crash.

When those hundreds of migrants came to Ellis island, They were greeted by the statue of liberty. We mention last Friday that it was lady liberty's 125 birthday, she's due for some improvements.  Even though statue might change, what it symbolizes stands the test of time.

Reporter:
When a statue stands to watch for 125 years, sometimes things come full circle, like these words, said by President Grover Cleveland at the dedication in 1886 and were repeated again on friday "we will care for her, we will celebrate her, and we, the people of the U.S will continue to perfect her in both word and indeed. At 305 feet and 1 inch in the air, the statue of tower of copper and gold leaf is a testament to liberty and oppotunity. Nearly 12 million immgrants had passed her to get the island.
"so help me god, conglatulations" 125 and more became U.S citizens in New York on her birthday.
"and for me, It's just personal acheivement that i have been dreaming for years and years and i'm extremely excited to be here. I cannot wait to take that oath"

The statue is due for 27 million dollars in upgrades next year including safety improvements and an elevator so anyone can reach the observation deck. and everyone is in for a new view."Lady liberty is our statue, our icon and i think people will see in the perspective that they' ve never seen before" These five webcams unveiled on Friday will livestream pictures including the first views from the torch since it's closed to visitors in 1916.
That torch still burns more fiercely than even 125 birthday candles. : A continuing bekon to the world..

All right so for regular houses maybe not so much but it is natural to experience domatophobia around this time of the year with so many haunted houses popping up. A lot of folks don't wanna stuck in one of those. The dark domaciles are holloween tradition but when our reporter visited one recently he found out some haunted houses are year-around industry and he got some first hand experience in their sophiscated scare tactics.

Check this out.

Reporter:
I always enjoy meeting new friends at Halloween,  and this is some of the creatures at Netherworld haunted house. Do you mind if i take a look inside? I'll take that as yes.
"This place is massive. It's gotta be your year-round operation."
"We work on this thing absolutely all year long. we conceptualize it. we work on all the creatures, we begin construction as early as february. What we are gonna do now, though, we are gonna make you into one of the creatures. we are gonna transform you into a monster, that even your mother would be proud of.
"Every night they line up around the block in haunted houses like these across America bringing an estimated three hundred million dollars a year."
"The haunted house industry has changed dramatically in the last 15 to 20 years so you really need to deck it all out in 360. Everything's gotta be good and the technology is increasing. we have, like I said, a lot of animatronics, sophistigated characters that move. we use a lot of projections. We use a lot of illusion. We are constantly uppping   the ante to give the customer more than just a guy jumping out and scaring them, although that is the core of what we do."
"That is sensory overload.. Working on haunted houses is an adrenaline rush. But outside, I get back to my day job.

It is October 31. so we are keeping with the holloween theme here. We had asked you to send in I-reports with your creative pumkin carvings. Bailey from Illinois chewed it over, and came upt with this awesome idea. I loved it, Bailey. Manuel from California used his skills to honor his future farmers of America chapter. Madeline in North Carolina went the decorative route, and  showed her love for cnn student news. Great work from all three of them. They did it out of "gourdness" of their own hearts.
