1
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:17,030
On this February 28th, thank you for taking
time for CNN 10.

2
00:00:17,030 --> 00:00:18,580
I’m Carl Azuz.

3
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:23,770
Tonight, U.S. President Donald Trump makes
his first address to a joint session of Congress.

4
00:00:23,770 --> 00:00:26,100
You can watch the Republican leaders speech
and the

5
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,370
Democratic response starting at 9:00 p.m.
Eastern on CNN.

6
00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:34,050
When we bring you some highlights tomorrow,
we’ll explain why a president’s first

7
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:38,140
speech like this is not technically a State
of the Union address.

8
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:42,990
One thing President Trump is expected to do
is outline his goals for the coming years.

9
00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:45,900
And on Monday, he released some information
about his first

10
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,940
budget proposal, which is expected next month.

11
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:54,790
The Trump administration plans to increase
U.S. defense and security spending by $54

12
00:00:54,790 --> 00:01:00,180
billion and decrease about the same amount
from non-defense programs.

13
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:04,759
This budget will be a public safety and national
security budget.

14
00:01:04,759 --> 00:01:06,570
This defense spending increase will

15
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:12,250
be offset and paid for by finding greater
savings and efficiencies across the federal

16
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:13,250
government.

17
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:16,330
We’re going to do more with less.

18
00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:21,340
The president added that, quote, "lower priority
programs and most federal agencies would see

19
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:24,040
their budgets reduced in the proposal."

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,210
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer says
President Trump’s budget proposal would,

21
00:01:28,210 --> 00:01:31,240
quote, "help the wealthy and special interest
and that it

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,709
would significantly cut programs that help
the middle class."

23
00:01:34,709 --> 00:01:37,549
A president’s budget proposal is a blue
print.

24
00:01:37,549 --> 00:01:39,229
It reflects his priorities

25
00:01:39,229 --> 00:01:43,079
but it’s Congress that determines the final
budget for the federal government.

26
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:44,590
Ten-second trivia:

27
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:49,490
What nation’s full name includes "Democratic
People’s Republic" though it’s a communist

28
00:01:49,490 --> 00:01:50,490
state?

29
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:51,490
Bangladesh, Cuba, North Korea or Vietnam?

30
00:01:51,490 --> 00:02:03,029
The DPRK or the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea is the full name of North Korea,

31
00:02:03,029 --> 00:02:07,539
a communist country.

32
00:02:07,539 --> 00:02:13,319
An international murder mystery is deepening.

33
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,430
It started with the apparent poisoning of
a man named Kim Jong Nam.

34
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:18,720
He was the half-brother of

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,400
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un.

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,780
And he died on February 13 while traveling
through Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur International

37
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:27,780
Airport.

38
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:31,060
The murder is having ripple effects around
the world.

39
00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:36,239
Malaysia says four North Koreans were involved
in Kim Jong Nam’s death, and South Korea

40
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:37,239
has

41
00:02:37,239 --> 00:02:39,940
accused the North Korean government of ordering
the murder.

42
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:45,810
North Korea has repeatedly denied being involved
and says the South is publishing false report.

43
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:47,510
But all this is believed to have caused the

44
00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:53,599
cancellation of informal talks being North
Korean officials and former American government

45
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:54,599
workers.

46
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:56,130
The talks were set for this week in New York,

47
00:02:56,130 --> 00:03:01,519
but the Trump administration changed its mind
on approving the North Koreans travel.

48
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:07,770
That decision was made after officials announced
how Kim Jong Nam was killed.

49
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:11,250
This is a spot where Kim Jong Nam was poisoned.

50
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:13,790
He was here awaiting to check in for a flight
to

51
00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:17,700
Macau, when as you can see in some pretty
incredible CCTV footage, a woman walks up

52
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,290
behind him and police say she then puts VX
nerve agent on his

53
00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:24,990
face, one of the world’s most deadly chemicals.

54
00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:27,400
She flees the scene and he immediately becomes
uncomfortable.

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,849
He starts walking this way and eventually
ending up at this information desk right

56
00:03:31,849 --> 00:03:32,849
here.

57
00:03:32,849 --> 00:03:35,280
He goes up, cuts several people in line and
asks for help.

58
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,500
He tells the attendants that he’s feeling
dizzy.

59
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,219
And standing here, this is a really public
place.

60
00:03:41,219 --> 00:03:46,299
It’s big, it’s open, and frankly, it’s
kind of bizarre to think that an alleged assassination

61
00:03:46,299 --> 00:03:47,299
of

62
00:03:47,299 --> 00:03:49,909
such a public figure could happen in a place
like this.

63
00:03:49,909 --> 00:03:51,299
And yet here we are.

64
00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:55,980
He then heads down to the clinic where the
Malaysian health minister said he later fainted.

65
00:03:55,980 --> 00:03:58,920
From the time he was poisoned, from the time
he died en

66
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,999
route to the hospital in the ambulance, it’s
only 20 minutes.

67
00:04:02,999 --> 00:04:08,239
Once officials confirmed that VX nerve agent
was used, they finally sent in a hazmat team

68
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:10,269
to check if there were any chemicals left
over here in

69
00:04:10,269 --> 00:04:11,269
terminal two.

70
00:04:11,269 --> 00:04:15,120
And thankfully, they didn’t find anything,
but it begs the question, what took so long

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,120
to send in the team.

72
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,049
Why didn’t they send them in earlier?

73
00:04:18,049 --> 00:04:19,690
And that’s not the only question here.

74
00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:23,090
The two female suspects involved both told
investigators that they thought they were

75
00:04:23,090 --> 00:04:24,090
just part of the prank

76
00:04:24,090 --> 00:04:25,090
show.

77
00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:26,370
That they didn’t know they were doing anything
wrong.

78
00:04:26,370 --> 00:04:29,520
But Malaysian police say they specifically
trained for this attack.

79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,660
So, which version is correct?

80
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:35,150
And furthermore, police say that they had
VX nerve agent on their hands.

81
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:38,160
So, why didn’t either one of them get sick?

82
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,220
The fact is that we’ve learned a lot over
the past two weeks since this alleged assassination

83
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:44,890
took place but there are many questions that
still

84
00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:49,500
remain in this most public murder of Kim Jong
Nam.

85
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,410
Later this week, President Trump is expected
to issue a new executive order concerning

86
00:04:53,410 --> 00:04:56,280
immigration to the U.S. Courts put his previous

87
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,830
travel restrictions on hold.

88
00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:03,670
Separately from that, though, Democratic and
Republican lawmakers had introduced bills

89
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:05,180
that could reduce the number of

90
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:08,820
people from other countries allowed to work
in the U.S.

91
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:12,910
The most popular program for this is the H-1B
visa program.

92
00:05:12,910 --> 00:05:18,530
Healthcare, media and tech companies all use
H-1Bs to get international talent and to

93
00:05:18,530 --> 00:05:21,910
hire trained workers that they can’t find
in America.

94
00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:28,070
But critics say the H-1B program is flawed,
that some companies abused H- 1Bs to pay foreign

95
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:31,670
workers less money than they pay America employees.

96
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:35,720
That apparently hasn’t stopped people from
around the world from wanting to work in the

97
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,720
U.S.

98
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,160
Aayush Suwalka symbolizes the Indian dream.

99
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,910
He grew up in a small town, studied hard and
wants to

100
00:05:44,910 --> 00:05:47,730
take it to one of the country’s best engineering
colleges.

101
00:05:47,730 --> 00:05:52,860
But the dream in Aayush’s mind isn’t Indian,
it’s American.

102
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:54,220
Why America?

103
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:59,470
It’s always America because the companies,
all the big companies are there in America

104
00:05:59,470 --> 00:06:02,130
and the life there is like really amazing.

105
00:06:02,130 --> 00:06:07,200
At Aayush’s college in Bangalore, students
are recruited by the world’s biggest companies.

106
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,650
With months to go before he graduates, Aayush

107
00:06:09,650 --> 00:06:15,880
has already gotten a job at the local branch
of JPMorgan, the American investment bank.

108
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:22,240
His dream is to work with them for a few years
here, and then transfer to the United States.

109
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,960
Every year, tens of thousands of Indians move
to the United States on highly skilled work

110
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,220
visas and many of those workers tend to come
from

111
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:34,680
technology and engineering schools like this
one here in Bangalore, in the city that is

112
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,110
known as the heart of India’s Silicon Valley,
and when you

113
00:06:38,110 --> 00:06:42,710
speak to the students here, they’ll tell
you that they often entered these universities

114
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:47,800
with an end goal in mind, and for a lot of
them, that end goal is America.

115
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,910
Congress is deliberating three separate bills
aiming to curb immigrant work visas.

116
00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:56,700
One of those visa programs, the H-1B for highly
skilled workers, is

117
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,530
being watched closely.

118
00:06:58,530 --> 00:07:06,250
Of the 85,000 visas handed out every year,
an estimated two-thirds go to Indian workers.

119
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:10,530
As we leave Aayush for the day, I have little
doubt he is going to make his dreams come

120
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:11,610
true.

121
00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:14,070
The only question is when.

122
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:19,660
The U.S. government says it’s hard to determine
exactly how many children are adopted each

123
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:20,660
year in America.

124
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:21,750
It’s estimated to be around

125
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:23,690
135,000.

126
00:07:23,690 --> 00:07:27,080
For many families, the cost of adoption is
an obstacle.

127
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,560
The government estimates that adopting American
children can range from $15,000

128
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,880
to $40,000.

129
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,370
International adoptions can cost $20,000 to
$50,000.

130
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:43,310
But the founder of Adopt Together devised
a way for people to share those costs.

131
00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:50,280
I grew up with a brother and a sister and
we had 36 foster kids over a seven-year period.

132
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,280
And then my mom and

133
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,080
dad adopted four boys and four girls from
five different countries.

134
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,960
In the morning, you didn’t know who’s
going to be at the breakfast table, but there

135
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,640
was always more seat.

136
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,970
Did you have this pillow with you?

137
00:08:00,970 --> 00:08:01,970
Yes.

138
00:08:01,970 --> 00:08:02,970
What a cool idea.

139
00:08:02,970 --> 00:08:04,780
Who’s this right here?

140
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:05,780
Daddy.

141
00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:08,090
Tacy came to me and said she wanted to adopt.

142
00:08:08,090 --> 00:08:09,910
We’re really concerned about the costs.

143
00:08:09,910 --> 00:08:15,810
And oftentimes, a family is looking at bill
of $30,000, $40,000, $50,000.

144
00:08:15,810 --> 00:08:19,620
If so many families would adopt if they can
eliminate this

145
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:24,370
financial barrier, then what if we could carry
the burden together?

146
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:28,590
AdoptTogether.org is designed as a first ever
crowdfunding platform for adoption.

147
00:08:28,590 --> 00:08:30,970
We’re raising funds to pay those bills.

148
00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:35,079
That’s when you friends and family and co-workers
get to be a part of your adoption stories,

149
00:08:35,079 --> 00:08:36,079
simply by

150
00:08:36,079 --> 00:08:39,320
donating to your process.

151
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,000
We aren’t anything crazy special.

152
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,550
We’re not rich.

153
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:46,620
We and a community brought him home.

154
00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:53,120
AdoptTogether.org has helped over 2,400 families,
raised $10.5 million to bring their kids home

155
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,820
and it’s so rewarding for me to get to do

156
00:08:54,820 --> 00:09:00,880
this work because I get to continue in the
family business of helping children come in

157
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,710
to families.

158
00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:11,130
Nice!

159
00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:18,680
Usually the words "Chile" and "Ring of Fire"
are used when talking about earthquakes.

160
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,500
This phenomenon was celestial.

161
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,330
It’s a solar eclipse

162
00:09:22,330 --> 00:09:25,270
when the moon passes between the earth and
the sun.

163
00:09:25,270 --> 00:09:27,960
It was visible on Sunday in the southern hemisphere.

164
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,180
Countries like Chile.

165
00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:30,180
But scientists

166
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:35,400
say a Ring of Fire eclipse is unique because
the moon is too far away from the Earth to

167
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,580
appear to cover the sun completely.

168
00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:38,950
So, with its edges

169
00:09:38,950 --> 00:09:42,630
exposed, a ring of sunlight surrounds the
moon.

170
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:44,560
Johnny Cash would have fallen into that.

171
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:48,460
And though it might not happen every February,
it’s still annular, which has a nice ring

172
00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:49,460
to it.

173
00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:50,460
It leaves

174
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:54,680
some observers moony-eyed and it makes for
a satellight-hearted ending to CNN 10.

175
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:55,760
I’m Starl Azuz.
