a trip to India leaves off today's
edition of CNN 10 I'm your anchor Carl
azuz it's great to have you watching
Monday was the first time that US
President Donald Trump traveled to the
world's largest democracy more than 1.3
billion people live in India it's the
second most populated country on the
planet behind China it's where the
American leader received a large and
warm welcome when he spoke at the
world's biggest cricket stadium in the
Indian city of a medibot the first lady
and I have just traveled 8,000 miles
around the globe to deliver a message to
every citizen across this nation America
loves India America respects India and
America will always be faithful and
loyal friends to the Indian people
President Trump was only scheduled to
stay in India one night and the real
work according to analysts gets going on
Tuesday when he and Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi are expected to
discuss a new trade agreement a three
billion dollar deal involving military
equipment including India's purchase of
American helicopters was announced on
Monday but a bigger trade deal between
the two countries could be more
challenging as within the last year
they've placed or threatened additional
taxes on one another's goods
president Trump previously accused India
of unfairly shutting out American
businesses and though he said on Monday
that major trade agreements were on the
horizon they were in the early stages
still the two leaders have had nothing
but praise for one another in their
public comments and one of the
larger-than-life pictures of them posted
around Ahmedabad says two dynamic
personalities one momentous occasion
something that underscores the important
and complex relationship between their
countries the United States and India
one is the world's oldest democracy the
latter is the biggest formal ties
between the two countries date back to
India's independence
in 1947 they survived the ups and downs
of the Cold War era an estrangement over
India's nuclear tests in 1974 and 1998
relationships ins warmed the
geopolitical and economic cooperation
drawing most of that convergence has
really been in the security and
strategic relationship so they went from
being very disenchanted with each other
but at the end of the Cold War and
quibbling over nuclear issues and India
Pakistan and Kashmir until the late 90s
to now actually effectively cooperating
very closely on maritime security on
Internet Governance on a whole range of
strategic issues both nations are key
global players and both are now led by
populous leaders US President Donald
Trump has reshaped the US political
landscape while Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi who heads the Party agenda
party propagates a hardline Hindu
nationalist agenda known as in good work
many other policy spearheaded by both
Trump and modi are geared towards
protectionism national security is a key
area for both leaders and when it comes
to the economy their respective make in
India and America first campaigns employ
a similar nationalist stance the ties
between India and the u.s. remain
important on several levels including
defense and security look at the
business side is a good a strategic side
if you look on the people-to-people
relationship all of these areas think
the both countries need each other a lot
more than I think sometimes it seems
apparent ten-second trivia which of
these island chains actually belongs to
Spain though it's geographically closer
to Africa Canary Islands Azores Falkland
Islands or Cape Verde
it's off the southwest coast of Morocco
that you'll find the Canary Islands of
Spain southwestern Morocco and Western
Sahara and it's from the Sahara Desert
that wins known as la Colima recently
lifted tremendous amounts of dust and
sand and carried them west across
hundreds of miles of ocean to the Canary
Islands
the Spanish archipelago is a popular
vacation destination for European
travelers and many were stuck there over
the weekend in some cases for days
longer than they wanted with worse
weather than they wanted planes couldn't
take off or land in the islands until
the storm passed and outdoor sports
events were canceled too because the air
quality was so bad this isn't the first
time that la Colima has scattered dust
over the Canary Islands but a government
official said it was the worst storm of
its kind in decades it also had bad
timing it came during carnival
celebrations so a lot of hotels were
booked with people who were also stuck
indoors flights started getting off the
ground again on Monday morning when the
air quality improved in a very different
environment people known as mushers are
gearing up for this year's I did a rod
it's also called the last great race it
involves teams of sled dogs making their
way from Anchorage to Nome Alaska and it
commemorates historic transportation
routes across America's last frontier
the Iditarod starts in 11 days it can
last as long as two weeks and costs
thousands of dollars to run but for
something that's much lower key and less
dangerous you can take a three-hour dog
sledding excursion in British Columbia
Canada cost a little over four hundred
and fifty dollars and you got to love
the cold
[Music]
dogsledding to me and from my experience
is that it tends to be a bucket of
activity you know you grow up you watch
the movie Balto and then there's that
just plants a little seed in your head
we are in Whistler we are about to go
dogsledding
on an epic adventure I'm so excited I've
never done anything like this before
it's really cold too bundled up but the
Energy's got me excited I can't wait to
meet them they're about to come out my
good boy - sure come on dogs
we're trappers run dog sledding and we
take racing dogs and sled dogs that
aren't being used in their current homes
and we rehome them and give them a
lighter workload and we try to make them
affectionate at the same time is at the
end of their working careers which is
usually around eight or nine years old
that's when we're gonna adopt them out
and try and find a home for them so that
they can enjoy the couch life if the dog
doesn't get adopted well then it just
gets free time you're good girl
one of the things that I truly love
about this activity is that it's an
activity for anyone it can be as
adventurous an activity as you want it
to be if you'd like to sit in the dog
sled wrapped up in blankets for the
whole experience that's fantastic you're
on holiday you deserve it if you'd like
to get hands-on help harnessing help
yoking even do a little bit of mushing
we can facilitate that as well so you
can expect to drive the dog sled get
cared for by your guy and you can also
expect to be very hands-on with the dogs
so if you want to practice harnessing if
you want to learn the dogs history their
lineage we're very happy to inform you
all so people are going to get cold get
snowy and just get out of their comfort
zone a little bit for ten out of ten
ouch this is not the face of someone
who's having fun but he is setting a
Guinness World Record
George Hood is a former US Marine and
for the last 18 months he's been
training to set a new high bar for
planking he says this training involved
hundreds of push-ups
thousands of sit-ups and hundreds of
curls every day and when the time came
to plank for the record the 62 year old
did that for eight hours 15 minutes and
15 seconds which made his accomplishment
absolute this took more than doing the
bear Abdo minimum you got to figure how
much pain you can stomach you got to
elbow your way to the top you got to set
your mind on AB domination and it passed
the time you just let your thoughts go
plank I'm Carl azuz flexing pullings for
