1 00:00:13,669 --> 00:00:15,800 Hey, thanks for watching CNN 10. 2 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,469 We hope your week is off to a good start and that it just gets better. 3 00:00:18,469 --> 00:00:19,528 I’m Carl Azuz. 4 00:00:19,528 --> 00:00:24,969 For the first time since U.S. President Donald Trump took office, North Korea has test-fired 5 00:00:24,969 --> 00:00:26,109 a ballistic missile. 6 00:00:26,109 --> 00:00:28,750 And we start today by explaining why that’s significant. 7 00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:30,710 First, the launch. 8 00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:32,378 It was done on Sunday. 9 00:00:32,378 --> 00:00:37,509 Officials believe the weapon flew a few hundred miles before it crashed into the Sea of Japan, 10 00:00:37,509 --> 00:00:38,509 also 11 00:00:38,509 --> 00:00:39,509 known as the East Sea. 12 00:00:39,509 --> 00:00:43,750 It’s thought to be a medium range missile, one that could potentially hit South Korea, 13 00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:45,229 but not the United States. 14 00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:47,129 Then, there was the timing. 15 00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:51,830 The launch came as President Trump was hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the 16 00:00:51,829 --> 00:00:54,009 U.S. Japan is an ally of both 17 00:00:54,009 --> 00:00:59,408 America and South Korea, and all three of those nations are considered rivals of North 18 00:00:59,408 --> 00:01:00,408 Korea. 19 00:01:00,408 --> 00:01:02,338 So, analysts say the North was trying to send a 20 00:01:02,338 --> 00:01:07,250 warning to Japan not to get too friendly with the new American president. 21 00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:12,680 Prime Minister Abe called the launch intolerable and he told North Korea to abide by international 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,360 law that it stop testing missiles. 23 00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:16,359 And President 24 00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,049 Trump said the U.S. stands by Japan 100 percent. 25 00:01:20,049 --> 00:01:22,420 Why does North Korea test-fire missiles? 26 00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:26,868 Experts say it’s partly to see how far the weapons can fly and what they’re capable 27 00:01:26,868 --> 00:01:27,868 of. 28 00:01:27,868 --> 00:01:28,868 But also, to send 29 00:01:28,868 --> 00:01:32,789 a message, to remind other countries that North Korea has these things and they get 30 00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:34,879 media attention from around the world. 31 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:40,449 We don’t know where the Trump administration will place North Korea nukes on its list of 32 00:01:40,450 --> 00:01:41,450 priorities. 33 00:01:41,450 --> 00:01:47,510 But one thing is for sure, that in seven or eight years, North Korea has made lifts and 34 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:50,228 bounds in terms of its nuclear capability and I’m 35 00:01:50,228 --> 00:01:54,069 talking about nuclear weapons. 36 00:01:54,069 --> 00:02:00,629 What is most, most troubling for the United States is that North Korea is working on long-range 37 00:02:00,629 --> 00:02:04,629 intercontinental ballistic missiles that 38 00:02:04,629 --> 00:02:10,419 would be able to reach the United States and that would, once there’s a militarized warhead, 39 00:02:10,419 --> 00:02:14,219 be able to carry a nuclear payload as far as the United States. 40 00:02:14,219 --> 00:02:19,509 This is an existential problem for the United States unlike any other that exists in the 41 00:02:19,509 --> 00:02:20,530 world today. 42 00:02:20,530 --> 00:02:24,419 We went to see the North Korean plutonium processing plant. 43 00:02:24,419 --> 00:02:28,719 Its only nuclear plant that was known to the world, back in 2008 at Yongbyon. 44 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:33,009 It has taken at least nine years to get this visa. 45 00:02:33,009 --> 00:02:38,879 What we saw there under the Bush administration efforts to close down that plant, to restrict 46 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,319 their nuclear weapons and nuclear program. 47 00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:44,900 How many fuel rods are in the pond now? 48 00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:46,400 About 1,600. 49 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,769 And then we went back, a few months later, to watch the cooling tower be blown up as 50 00:02:53,769 --> 00:02:57,349 a physical demonstration of pulling back on their 51 00:02:57,348 --> 00:02:59,119 nuclear program. 52 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,980 Everything has changed in the years since then. 53 00:03:05,979 --> 00:03:07,649 How will the president deal with it? 54 00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:09,330 What are the options? 55 00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:12,050 War is not an option, according to all the analysts. 56 00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:15,599 You’re talking nuclear war if war becomes the option. 57 00:03:15,598 --> 00:03:20,449 So far, of course, diplomacy hasn’t worked, at least not enough. 58 00:03:20,449 --> 00:03:24,378 U.S. relies on China to try to do its North Korean bidding. 59 00:03:24,378 --> 00:03:31,078 China will have to be convinced by the United States that it will, the U.S., allow as 60 00:03:31,079 --> 00:03:35,290 part of negotiations, the Kim dynasty to survive. 61 00:03:35,289 --> 00:03:39,929 That is the most important thing to the Kim dynasty, and for China, it wants that as well 62 00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:44,829 because it doesn’t want to see destabilization in the whole millions of millions of North 63 00:03:44,829 --> 00:03:47,700 Koreans fleeing into China if the whole thing falls apart. 64 00:03:47,699 --> 00:03:54,250 And so, it’s going to take some very creative, out of the box diplomacy that there will be 65 00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:57,818 no question of regime change, and therefore the best one 66 00:03:57,818 --> 00:04:05,280 could hope for is some really robust arms control agreement. 67 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,658 Explaining some new developments now concerning a controversial executive order on refugees 68 00:04:09,658 --> 00:04:12,378 and immigrants entering the U.S. 69 00:04:12,378 --> 00:04:13,378 Part of 70 00:04:13,378 --> 00:04:18,339 President Trump’s order tried to put a temporary 90-day ban on refugees from six countries 71 00:04:18,339 --> 00:04:21,709 and an indefinite ban on refugees from Syria. 72 00:04:21,709 --> 00:04:22,709 These 73 00:04:22,709 --> 00:04:25,540 weren’t considered countries of concern by former President Obama. 74 00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:30,439 He placed limited restrictions on some travelers to these nations to address the threat of 75 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:31,439 terrorism. 76 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:33,410 President Trump’s order was broader though. 77 00:04:33,410 --> 00:04:38,390 He argued that a temporary ban on refugees from these countries would help keep terrorists 78 00:04:38,389 --> 00:04:39,389 from entering 79 00:04:39,389 --> 00:04:40,389 America. 80 00:04:40,389 --> 00:04:45,089 But the ban was blocked by a lower court and last Thursday, a federal appeals court upheld 81 00:04:45,089 --> 00:04:46,289 that decision. 82 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:47,290 That means the order would 83 00:04:47,290 --> 00:04:52,770 stay blocked and that people from the affected countries could continue to enter America. 84 00:04:52,769 --> 00:04:54,500 How did the court reach this decision? 85 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:59,509 The judges rejected each and every one of the arguments the Justice Department used 86 00:04:59,509 --> 00:05:00,759 to try to justify a 87 00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:07,110 reinstatement of the ban, saying the government failed to prove why the travel ban was necessary 88 00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:09,629 as an urgent national security the matter. 89 00:05:09,629 --> 00:05:14,519 The judges wrote that "the government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from 90 00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:17,620 any of the countries named in the order has perpetrated a 91 00:05:17,620 --> 00:05:19,780 terrorist attack in the United States. 92 00:05:19,779 --> 00:05:24,129 Rather than present evidence to explain the need for the executive order, the government 93 00:05:24,129 --> 00:05:25,129 has taken the 94 00:05:25,129 --> 00:05:27,889 position that we must not review its decision at all. 95 00:05:27,889 --> 00:05:29,620 We disagree", the court wrote. 96 00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:33,430 It’s not the first time an appeals court ruled against the government on the issue 97 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:34,670 of immigration. 98 00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:36,290 An executive action by the Obama 99 00:05:36,290 --> 00:05:41,260 administration concerning millions who were in the U.S. illegally was also rejected. 100 00:05:41,259 --> 00:05:45,711 The Trump administration says it doesn’t plan to immediately appeal its case to the 101 00:05:45,711 --> 00:05:46,910 Supreme Court. 102 00:05:46,910 --> 00:05:50,939 It may change its executive order or issue a new one altogether. 103 00:05:50,939 --> 00:05:53,060 Ten-second trivia: 104 00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:56,209 Which of these animals has the longest gestation period? 105 00:05:56,209 --> 00:06:01,579 White shark, polar bear, sea lion or stingray? 106 00:06:01,579 --> 00:06:09,819 The gestation period for white sharks is believed to be 12 months or more, the longest time 107 00:06:09,819 --> 00:06:14,199 period on this list. 108 00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:18,870 We say "believed to be" because the white shark or the great white is pretty mysterious 109 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:19,870 to scientists. 110 00:06:19,870 --> 00:06:21,840 They’re generally solitary animals. 111 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,319 They’re found all over the world but in large numbers. 112 00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:30,469 Their relatively long gestation period could be part of the reason why conservationists 113 00:06:30,470 --> 00:06:31,470 call 114 00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:35,530 them vulnerable, meaning they face a high risk of going extinct in the wild. 115 00:06:35,529 --> 00:06:40,069 Although great whites are apex predators who will eat just about anything, those who study 116 00:06:40,069 --> 00:06:45,810 them say they should be respected but not hunted. 117 00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:48,959 Every time I see one around the boat I still get that little buzz. 118 00:06:48,959 --> 00:07:02,449 You know, whether it’s fear, whether it’s love, whether it’s hate, it’s their size, 119 00:07:02,449 --> 00:07:07,269 it’s what they’re capable off. 120 00:07:07,269 --> 00:07:15,339 Ever since I saw my first great white shark, it stayed with me for the rest of my life. 121 00:07:15,339 --> 00:07:21,079 I’ve been working with them for 25 years. 122 00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:34,050 To be in the water with a great white shark is an absolutely awesome experience. 123 00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:38,470 When you get into the water, you’re not just going into their world, you’re going 124 00:07:38,470 --> 00:07:40,840 -- and not only going to their world, you’re having 125 00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,929 them accommodate you in their world and that’s the difference. 126 00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:48,269 We really need to do as much as we can to conserve them. 127 00:07:48,269 --> 00:07:51,009 Are they at risk of extinction? 128 00:07:51,009 --> 00:07:52,009 Absolutely. 129 00:07:52,009 --> 00:07:54,969 You know, it’s not just shark nets that are killing them. 130 00:07:54,970 --> 00:07:58,760 They’re killed as by-catch and most sadly and I think most 131 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:01,439 wastefully, they’re killed for just their fins. 132 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:03,569 It’s not an enemy. 133 00:08:03,569 --> 00:08:15,969 And I think more and more people are beginning to realize this. 134 00:08:15,970 --> 00:08:20,480 If these boats were having a negative effect on them, and conditioning them, they wouldn’t 135 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,870 have a seasonality, because nobody wants 136 00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:27,399 to see these sharks harmed. 137 00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:32,779 To be in the same environment as an animal tht could catch, kill and consume you as quickly 138 00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:50,519 as that if it wanted to and to have it tolerate you is amazingly humbling. 139 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,490 Sticking with an animal them for "10 Out of 10" today, well, you’re just going to have 140 00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:56,028 to love these tiger cubs. 141 00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:58,110 They are three Malayan 142 00:08:58,110 --> 00:09:00,509 tigers, a critically endangered species. 143 00:09:00,509 --> 00:09:03,459 They were born a little over a week ago at the Cincinnati Zoo. 144 00:09:03,458 --> 00:09:05,109 But their mother wasn’t taking care of 145 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:08,528 them, so zoo officials put them in the nursery to help them survive. 146 00:09:08,528 --> 00:09:13,179 The zoo’s plan is to eventually bread these animals to help insure the continuation of 147 00:09:13,179 --> 00:09:14,179 the species. 148 00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:18,708 It sounds like a tig-great idea and just looking at them breeds oohs and aahs. 149 00:09:18,708 --> 00:09:22,278 But for right now, they just do some ma-playin’ and some ma-layin’ 150 00:09:22,278 --> 00:09:23,278 around. 151 00:09:23,278 --> 00:09:26,600 But soon, they’ll show their stripes in the zoo’s tiger exhibit which should introduce 152 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,028 them to good habitats. 153 00:09:28,028 --> 00:09:30,179 I’m Carl Azuz for CNN 10.
