CNN Student News 받아적기 (11.9)

There's a test happening today.No one's gonna pass and no one's gonna fail, but the whole country is going to be affected. That sounds confusing. It'll make sense after you watch today's edition of CNN Student news.


A pair of European countries look like they are about to get new leaders. Both nations are dealing with massive debt. And those financial struggles seem to be playing a big role in the changes of leadership, as you might expect.
Let's start with Italy. Yesterday, we told you about the pressure on Italy's prime minister. We also mentioned a budget vote that was a key for his chaces to stay in power. The budget passed, but more than half the members of Italy's parliament didn't vote at all. They wanted the budget to pass but they didn't want to support him. Not voting was how they got their message across. So yesterday, his office announced he is going to step down as a prime minister.

Over Greece, A Greek minister has already said he's leaving power. But he and other Greek leaders are trying to figure out who will take over. They were hoping to wrap up those negotiations late yesterday.

Next up today, we are looking at Iran and the country's controvercial nuclear program. Iran has always said the program is designed for peaceful purposes. Other countries, including United States, have a different view. They accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. There is a new report out from the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iranian officials say the report is a complete lie but it includes serious concerns about the country's nuclear program.

Reporter:
Iran has mastered the critical steps necessary to design and construct a nuclear weapon but Iran's leaders have not yet made the decision to build it. That's what diplomats and experts briefed on the new report from the U.N's watchdog agency tells CNN. One key document obtained by IAEA member states, they say, shows planning for a component that could be used to trigger a nuclear weapon.

"It's not by means a smoking gun, but it's another piece of evidence that the IAEA has that points to ongoing efforts to nuclear weapons by Iran.

A former U.N weapon's inspector has spoken with experts who wrote the IAEA report. He says Inspite of assertions by the United States, that Iran stopped its program in 2003. Teheran actually continued running a complex and sophisticated and well hidden program to develop skills needed to make and test a weapon small enough to fit on the warhead of its misiles.

"It looks very apparent now, that they wanted to be able to build a nuclear weapon quickly, if they make that decision. And, therefore, they have to have certain capabilities in place to do that."

The release, this week,of the IAEA report has fueled speculation that Israel might launch a military strike to take out Iran's nuclear program.  But he says the new data is not a shock to Israel which already was aware of it.

"So, I think this is not in any way a sign for Israel to strike Iran because they know."

Iran, meanwhile, calls this controversy one hundred percent political. But, Teheran also announced this summer that it's moving part of its enrichment process to a facility near the city of Comb deeply buried under rock ,a way of protecting it from any possible millitary attack.

FEMA uses warning systems to help prepare for disasters. The agency is using one today. This is that no pass, no fail test we mentioned at the start of the show. This afternoon, the emergency alert system will send out a message on T.Vs and radios across the U.S.  It's the first time that the system has ever been used for a nationwide test. FEMA officials say they wanted to see how it works and if any upgrades need to be made.

While you are on campus, your school might not allow you to buy certain drinks like sodas, and what are called suger-sweetened beverages.  But a new study says school bans don't keep students from drinking them. From the archives of "Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine,", eight graders were asked in 2007 about the sugary drinks they drink. In some schools, students couldn't buy them on campus. In others, they could.  But it didn't matter. 85% of the students surveyed said they'd had a sugary drink during the week of the study, regardless of whether they could get it at a school. Banning thes drinks on campus limited student's acess to them, but it didn't have any effect on how many drinks students had overall. Sports drinks, sodas, certain fruit juices are blamed for contributing to childhood obesity. So, Some government officials are trying to discourage students from having them.

This begs an interesting question for our blog. Should schools with bans on sugary drinks start to allow them again? Or do you think a campus ban helps discourage childhood obesity? The rule is first names only, no initials, no classes.

Alright, that was what happened first but advances in technology are all about what's coming next and who's gonna take us there. Our reporter looks at new trends popping up all over in the United States. Classes are designed to help people become the next programing pioneers.

'So I want to introduce my non profit to you, It`s called hack/change. We train  young people to be computer programmers.' She believes learning to create technology is the key to a brighter future. So she walks the streets of Harlem to recruite students for a free 12 week computer programming workshop.

"When you give access to people who are marginalized, they do remarkables things with them. And it really shows their trajectory. and it changes their lives. in a very real sense, not just because they're making money, not just because they are rich, but because they can reimagine their communities.
"But you are just stopping people on the street and asking them if they are interested."
"Sure, I'm asking them first and foremost if they know what the programming is"

Students learn to build what they use. Bruce is an eductional technologist at Colombia university.

"African American and Latino students are the fastest growing market when it comes to the adoption of Smartphones. So they're already have all of these devices. So, we need to be teaching them how to creat Apps." 

Which is why these types of class are catching on.

"So you've got programs now rising up all over the country, looking at how to create entrepreneurs, how to get more students involved."

In Atlanta, Glitch pays his high school students to test video games as a way to learn computer programming and design.

'You can writhe the App. That`s actually very simple to do.'

And at Chicago's 21 century youth project.

"Right now, we are learning to code Android apps for Android phones. . They are also teaching me how to sell things, just in general, like not just sell Apps, but how to get clients' attention"
"We are learning also how to like make little robots and stuff. That's really cool."

In programs that teach technology as a path to oppotunity. 

That segment is a part of the newest "Black in America" documentary. It's called "The new promised land" and it focuses business and technology. CNN special airs this coming Sunday at 8 p.m Estern on CNN. We are putting up a discusstion guide that goes along with it. Teachers and parents, you can check that out at our website.

Before we go today, it's always good policy to be polite when you are out of the at a restaurant. Like these folks, waiting where they were patiently for a table. Boom! Not the guy coming in after them. Rude deer, table for one. The diners at this restaurant just wanted to watch a football game. They had to scramble when the deer blitzed the place. He eventually took off without injuries to himself or others. And surprisingly, he didn't nab anything out of the cash register. When a deer breaks into a restaurant, you'd expect him to make off some "doe".  Thankfully, nobody was hurt. And now those people can tell always tales of their widelife experiences.
