  • 10 minutes to Europe. 3

  • Speed on world events Welcome to CNN 10 on Coral Jesus at the CNN Center. 4

  • Happy to see you this Tuesday. 5

  • The Middle Eastern country of Israel has just wrapped up its third election in 11 months. 6

  • The other two, which were held last year, resulted in deadlocks and Israel's government. 7

  • So the question is, Will this election break it? 8

  • Here's why. 9

  • There's been a stalemate in Israel's Knesset, its parliament. 10

  • There are 120 seats. 11

  • Ah, political party needs to have a simple majority, at least 61 of those seats to take control and choose the prime minister. 12

  • But there are dozens of political parties in Israel. 13

  • No single one of them is likely to get that 61 seat majority in an election, so they have to team up to form a coalition to make things work. 14

  • But after last April's election and for the first time in Israel's history, no one was able to form that coalition government, including the party of Israel's current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. 15

  • So he called for a second round of elections. 16

  • Those were held in September and again deadlock, so what happened last night. 17

  • We don't have the final results. 18

  • But all three of the main exit polls in Israel projected that a coalition led by the incumbent prime minister was on track to secure 60 seats. 19

  • That's one short of the simple majority, and this same coalition secured 60 seats in the first election last April but wasn't able to form a government. 20

  • Still, Prime Minister Netanyahu called Monday's votes a great victory for Israel, and if a coalition government is formed this time around, the nation will avoid 1/4 election. 21

  • Almost a year into the Israeli election stalemate, people in a frat are anxious for the political fog to clear, and with its, they hope, a profound change in their status. 22

  • It may not be obvious when you look around nice houses, good service is. 23

  • But these buildings on this land have bean among some of the world's most controversial real estate since they went up. 24

  • International law says that they are illegal, built on occupied Palestinian territory. 25

  • But to the 10,000 settlers who lived here, they say this is their rightful home. 26

  • That's the disparity if France a long time there is well aware off so it fractures over the Green line and which means that some of your viewers might call it the disputed territories. 27

  • We prefer to call it Judea and Samaria, but it means that there is a lot off political implication to the results of the elections. 28

  • But we know that under specific government, with a specific administration, things could go very bad for the communities here. 29

  • And on the other hand, with a specific government and a specific administration, things can take a complete, different terms. 30

  • While it is unclear what the upshot of this latest Israeli election will be, what is clear is that places like this continue to build for the future. 31

  • It's Super Tuesday, you might ask. 32

  • Well, what so super about it. 33

  • In terms of the U. 34

  • S. 35

  • Presidential nomination process, Maur delegates will be awarded in today's primaries and caucus than on any other day in this election cycle. 36

  • The candidate from each party who wins a majority of delegates eventually appears on the presidential ballot. 37

  • When we produce this show, there were five Democrats still seeking their party's nomination. 38

  • U. 39

  • S Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota announced yesterday that she'd pull out of the race. 40

  • One Republican, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, is challenging incumbent President Donald Trump for their party's nomination. 41

  • Though President Trump's expected to easily win that. 42

  • Hey, we have a detailed explainer available on Super Tuesday. 43

  • You can find it on our February 24th show that's available at YouTube dot com slash CNN. 44

  • 10 12th trivia. 45

  • Loose, dry slab and cornice are all types of what window treatments, avalanches, marble or beach erosion. 46

  • All of these air types of snow detachments better known as avalanches every winter there are thousands of avalanches in the U. 47

  • S state of Colorado. 48

  • It's considered the most dangerous state for these disasters, and most of them happened during snowstorms or right afterward, according to the National Weather Service. 49

  • The risk is much higher in the back country than it is a popular ski areas. 50

  • But rescue teams have a number of methods to lower that risk. 51

  • Avalanches occur when unstable layers of snow on a sloped surface are disturbed. 52

  • You need three things for an avalanche. 53

  • You need a slope angle, you need snow on it, and then we need a trigger so a trigger could be skier, and it could be a bomb. 54

  • So it's 6 30 in the morning and we're going out with ski patrol this morning. 55

  • We're gonna be doing avalanche mitigation. 56

  • The helicopter assist s. 57

  • So what will we do? 58

  • It is what we take two teams up to the top of my repeat, uh, with explosives. 59

  • If we can initiate an avalanche, then we're not gonna be taken by surprise, Mama. 60

  • Putting on sunscreen Helicopter Day is Ah, it's a fun day. 61

  • We don't do many of them. 62

  • Are you worried at all about your own apple interest? 63

  • You doing this kind of work? 64

  • Um, yeah. 65

  • You're throwing bombs in Avalon history. 66

  • Just be ready. 67

  • Like, have your buff ready. 68

  • I don't have anything like that. 69

  • Could fly away. 70

  • You want you want you huddled down right here with us, Paul Meyer. 71

  • A peak where they're gonna be landing is essentially an area of about maybe 30 square feet. 72

  • Would actually be able to park up there. 73

  • Right? 74

  • We're going to get back on the snowmobiles. 75

  • Boogie, those five pounders right there. 76

  • Yeah. 77

  • Oh, we try to make sure that if there's gonna be a slide on the mountain, it's initiated by ski patrol and not by the key, You know, to make sure that we're initiating Avalanche when there's no one underneath it. 78

  • And when we can control the environment way know what's going on. 79

  • And we're not blindsided by natural avalanche. 80

  • So the back country area where we are is all national forest land, and essentially we don't do anything in the back country. 81

  • So skiers that go outside of our backcountry access gates, they're doing it on their own public lands and on their own accord. 82

  • And it's get in yourself and get out yourself. 83

  • Avalanches in the back country that involved people getting buried don't often have great outcomes. 84

  • We just made it up to one of the highest point on the mountain, Telluride. 85

  • We're at a place called High Camp, and this is where we're going to meet up with Gary and Kim. 86

  • They're a married couple who have an Avalanche dog named Levi Be were to go out with them for some of their training, get a sense of what it takes for an avalanche dog to get out there and actually rescue someone. 87

  • Gary and Kim Rashard run the nonprofit Telluride Avalanche dogs. 88

  • They say dogs are the best rescuers after an avalanche because they can sniff out people buried in snow and find them more quickly than human rescuers. 89

  • Gary and Kim's Avalanche dog, Lady B, has been on the job for nine years, ever since she was a puppy, kind of calm before the storm on Dhe. 90

  • Once he gets wind of either radio call or you know what, her harness being jiggled or something, she goes nuts. 91

  • We're gonna hide down in pools, and then Gary and Lady be You're gonna come find us and the rest of us Very good, right? 92

  • And the dog is your best friend. 93

  • There are only, you know, one of our only means of finding you. 94

  • There's a new hole monitor at Lockhart Middle School in Savannah, Georgia. 95

  • His name is Bob. 96

  • Not much personality, but he's a robot so he can wave sorta. 97

  • But Bob's main job is to patrol the whole ways to keep kids in class. 98

  • If he sees some folks breaking the rules, he'll get their attention. 99

  • Bob's one of a number of projects here meant to promote stem education. 100

  • The others include electric cars and even an airplane. 101

  • But it's Bob who has his mechanized on anyone looking to be tardy. 102

  • He's a champion of cops and Roberts. 103

  • He can't be robot off. 104

  • He's got many gears of experience. 105

  • And if you're trying to pass through the hall without a hall pass, you'd better be bobbing and weaving because you ate bombing and leaving without being caught on camera with all your tried and true methods of Carla zoos, and we're wrapping up our show in Evanston, Wyoming. 106

  • Why no Wyoming? 107

  • Because that's where Evanston High School is watching on YouTube, that's all for CNN.
