Welcome to CNN 10.
I`m Carl Azuz with our second to the last show of the season.
Today, we`re explaining news from
southern Asia to space.
And that begins with the terrorist attack yesterday in the nation of Afghanistan.
Officials say a suicide bomber detonated a massive explosive.
It was hidden inside a water delivery truck.
The attack was made during the morning rush hour in the Afghan capital of Kabul.
It was in an area packed with commuters, people shopping, children
going to school.
International embassies nearby were damaged in the explosion and at least 90 people were
killed and around 400 were wounded.
This was one of the deadliest attacks Kabul seen in recent years, and it happened a few
days into the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
When we
produced this show, no one had claimed responsibility for the blast.
In fact, the Taliban, a violent group that used to rule Afghanistan, said it
was not responsible.
U.S. troops have been serving in the country for almost 16 years.
They are about 8,400 American military personnel there right now.
The Trump
administration is considering sending more to help fight terrorists in the country.
Afghanistan continues to be blighted by violence.
The capital Kabul has witnessed the worst of
it.
Several large vehicle bombs and attacks in recent months, perpetrated by both the Taliban
and ISIS.
What is going on in Afghanistan?
The Taliban defined their fight as a nationalist struggle, to have their conservative values
dominate.
ISIS, who had been responsible for most of the attacks in Kabul recently, have a transnational
agenda to form a worldwide global Islamic caliphate,
built on their nihilistic, ultraconservative beliefs.
Last year, Afghan forces lost more than 6,500 troops in combat with Taliban and ISIS.
ISIS, a relatively newcomers in Afghanistan, and are mostly in
the east, close to Pakistan.
They want to exploit the weak Afghan government to grown their own territory.
The Taliban also have roots and
sanctuaries in Pakistan but are a far bigger force than ISIS.
Recruitment and retention, a major problems for the Afghan army, both ISIS and the
Taliban pay fighters more than the Afghan army.
After surging its forces to over 100,000 troops in 2009, 2010, the U.S. was expected to draw
down completely several years ago.
But due to continuing
stability, keep the force presence, and along with NATO allies is gradually being increased,
although not in sufficient numbers to turn the tide of the
war.
The U.S. director of national intelligence says because of its growing missile and nuclear
capabilities, the Asian country of North Korea
is increasingly becoming a grave national security threat to the U.S.
America has a few ways it could respond.
It could launch a preemptive strike on North Korea, which carries a lot of risks.
It can work with
other countries to try to pressure North Korea to stop, which the U.S. is doing now.
It can also refine and test its own defense technology, like a
$40 billion missile defense system.
U.S. officials say it`s like trying to hit a bullet with another bullet.
The U.S. military attempted an
exceptionally difficult missile interception, its first ever to shoot down a model of a
long range intercontinental ballistic missile.
In a test taking place over the Pacific Ocean, a mock enemy ICBM fired from the Marshall
Islands was targeted by an interceptor fired from an
underground silo at Vandenberg Air Force Base north of Santa Barbara.
U.S. officials say the interceptor hit its target, the stakes couldn`t be
higher.
How much pressure are they under to make this work?
So, this is a very crucial test for the Pentagon and for the Missile Defense Agency.
North Korea is
working on development of intercontinental ballistic missile that would be designed to
target and hit the United States.
Adding to the pressure, the U.S. military`s spotty track record in these tests.
In a little over a decade, only about half
the interceptors have hit their targets and three of the previous four tests failed.
Critics say the interceptors, based in California and Alaska were rushed into deployment and
have had several mechanical problems.
Sometimes, the kill vehicle did not separate from the rest of the interceptor and at times,
there have also been problems with the kill
vehicle itself.
The interceptor test comes as Kim Jong-un crows about a missile his regime test-fired
this week, which it claims has new in-flight guidance
systems to make it more accurate.
North Korea is on the missile testing warpath right now.
TODD: A barrage of about a dozen missiles test-fired by Kim just this year and now,
his regime in an announcement brags that Kim is preparing to send
a, quote, bigger gift package to the Yankees.
Senator John McCain tells an Australian broadcaster he`s not confident in America`s missile defense
systems to counter the North Korean threat.
I don`t think that it`s acceptable for the United States of America to have an intercontinental
ballistic missile or a
missile aimed at Australia with a nuclear weapon on it and depend on our ability to
counter it with an anti-missile capability.
A key question now: what are the alternatives to this flawed missile interceptors?
In addition to missile defense, you have so-called left-of-launch cyber capabilities that are
designed to hack North Korea`s rocket systems.
You also have preemption, the possibility of a preemptive attack on North Korean missile
launch pads or on their missiles themselves.
Analysts say that is the most risky option, that it could provoke Kim Jong-un to turn
his guns on Seoul, or on the roughly
28,000 American troops in South Korea.
Experts say the U.S. might launch a preemptive military strike on North Korea only if it
became convinced that
Kim Jong-un was about to fire a missile as an act of war and not just test one.

Ten-second trivia:
Which of these places is believed to have the highest temperature?
Is it the sun`s surface, the sun`s corona or atmosphere, Earth`s core, or Mercury`s
surface?
The sun`s atmosphere or corona is thought to be about 300 times hotter than its surface
and no one knows why.
But scientists are hoping to get some more information about the sun`s mysterious corona
and the rest of the star.
NASA is planning to send
a spacecraft there on the first mission to fly into the sun`s atmosphere.
The outermost part of it anyway.
The sun is 93 million miles away from the Earth, and the Parker solar probe is scheduled
to orbit the start from a distance of more than 3 million
miles.
It`s not nearly as hot there as in the sun`s 3 million degree corona.
But the spacecraft will still have to endure temperatures of 2,500
degrees, and to do that, it will have a coat of carbon solar shields measuring almost five
inches thick.
The mission costs $1.5 billion.
It`s scheduled to launch in the summer of 2018.
Scientists hope it will help them better understand solar wind,
improve space weather forecasting and learn more about stars in general.
Humans cannot go on the deep space mission.
It`s scheduled to last seven years.
The spacecraft probably won`t come back to Earth.
An expert say it
would cost a lot more to send a person into deep space and keep him or her alive in the
process than it does to send a spacecraft or even a robot.
People have spent months orbiting the Earth, though.
And one question that often comes up is, how do they sleep?
Do you think getting a good night sleep is tough?
Try doing it in outer space.
A lot of kids asked like, how do you sleep?
Because we go around Earth 16 times a day.
And so --
Right.
You know, what do you wake up?
That`s 16 sunsets.
Or get up or get down 16 times?
I said, no, no.
So, the astronauts go around the earth every 90 minutes, far too fast for the body clock
to adopt to,
and so, they essentially experience a perpetual jet lag.
But you don`t have to be an astronaut to throw your biological clock out of sync.
Virtually every shift work on Earth experiences the same sleep issues.
Just like astronauts, you can take simple steps to improve your sleep.
Keep a regular sleep schedule.
Block out any light.
And avoid
screen time before bed.
Otherwise, your lack of sleep could catch up to you.
When you`re in space, the stakes are much higher.
So, a missed keystroke can be the difference between, you know, life and death
really.
Once upon a time, the three bears turned the tables on Goldilocks.
This happened just this week in a Southern California neighborhood.
The
little girl was nowhere to be seen, but the bears appeared to be looking for porridge
in the neighbor`s garbage.
Check it.
Somebody has been rummaging at my thrash can.
Somebody has been climbing in my tree.
Just like in the children`s story, the visitors left a bit of a mess, but no one was hurt
in the end.
Good thing Goldilocks are doors.
It`s one thing if uninvited visitors leave the neighborhood kind of trashy, but any indoor
or signs of tampering
could claws a bearglary victim to head for the hills of the carnoforest, which maybe
why Goldilocks went there in the first place.
I`m Carl Azuz for CNN 10.
One more show for the season and it`s tomorrow.
Good morning
Good morning
I would need to have a very long arm to reach you
It's a bit cold today
Just a little bit fresh
It's beautiful
You know those days when it's ideal because there's not a lot of sun, but it's not cold
But the weather forecast said it will rain, so we'll see what happens
This is a candy store which exists for like a thousand years
It's here since I was a little girl
The name of the candy store is Libertad
I don't know on what street we are, I swear, I'm terrible with streets
Esteban Arce
Ok.. we'll go to a market
We want to film
Because we never showed what can be found in that market
And you'll see now
There are many markets here
And many are divided by items
And you'll see what can be found in this one
We're still walking on Esteban Arce street
There's a small church
You want to go inside?
the name is : PARROQUIA SAN JUAN DE DIOS
streets : Esteban Arce...
and the other street i don`t know the name..
I don't know if we entered this church before
I don't think we did, because we would see that wall
Did you see the wall? It was full of plaques
There were thank you notes
Surely for favours people were asking for
Or it was because of some promises being made.. something like that
Every plaque had the initials of the names and the last names of the family
I didn't see that in any other church
There are street sellers of every kind here
i remember..
Do you remember the man who sold us the vegetable peeler?
The guy was spectacular
I swear, he made a show
He was talking very loud..
Interacting with people
Showing how to use the peeler
Instead of cleaning or drying the thing, he was hitting it against the table
So people would see how resistant it is
This market is located in the intersection of San Martin
Which is this one here
this one
And Uruguay, which is this one
The market occupies the entire block
It's all of this you can see here
It's the entire block
This area is chaotic
We'll cross the street
We came here to show you the name of the market
the name is Alejo Calatayud
^mercado calatayud`
We'll start showing you what can be found here
Here upfront, as you could have seen, there are people selling flowers
I don't know if we showed this market at some point
I don't remember
But ok, the audience is renewed, as they say..
First I want to say.. as you saw in the previous video
Kids dance many times a year in their schools
There are many festivities, carnival, Easter week, school anniversaries
He's very tall
They dance traditional stuff, because there are many traditional dances
And non traditional ones as well
And they need costumes for all of that
And here the merchants are looking for the commodity of the people
I don't know if such thing exists in other places..
Here, everything is for rent, there's an entire section of the market where you can rent out costumes
All types of costumes
So, one does not need to worry with having to have it especially made
Now we're going to show you inside and explain about the renting itself
As you can see, the stands are like this
There are a lot of passages, we'll go inside from another place
See? There are a lot of stands
And every one of them has all types of costumes
all types of costumes
Dolls, here you can see a frog.. traditional clothes
here you can find all kind of costumes
They're pretty big passages
You can find all sizes
This costume, for example, is for one traditional dance called Tinku, if I'm not mistaken..
And it's pretty big, obviously for someone much taller than me
My son, Agustin, for example, had to dance on Sunday..
As Amir already told you, the teachers already know where there is clothing
Or reserve it in a particular stand
The teachers give you the number of the passage 2, stand 27 for example
So you come directly to that place
Say for what school it is
See what size you need
And what I did to rent it is that I left my ID
As a guarantee
And I payed 20 bolivianos which are 3 $ US,
for one day.. but, I rented it on Saturday because Agustin was dancing on Sunday morning
And I could have returned it on Monday morning
There are no problems with that
The important thing is that you return it as soon as you can because they need the costume and you need your ID
If you can't leave your ID because you need it for something
What you can do is leave 50 bolivianos of guarantee ( 7,18 $us )
And once you return the costume, you get your money or document back.. or whatever you left as a guarantee
Look, I love these traditional outfits because they are so colorful
These are the accessories for one traditional dance
This is for rent too
Hats, accessories
There's Elmo
Every costume you need, you can find it here
What beautiful colours
I love colorful and cheerful clothes

Whazaaa , Hadougamer! Welcome to one more
video in our channel, if you
weren't subscribed yet, please do it to follow
our news. If you like this one
don't forget to thumbs up,
it will help us a lot. Todays video
is about the game POCKET FIGHTER
or SUPER GEM FIGHTER if you prefer
So, lets get started!
Before starts this video i wanna invite you to
follow closer our channel
We started to stream LIVE VIDEOS, in wich you can interact with me while I play
You'll can help to decide wich games we going to show here in the channel
your participation is essential
Well, thats it. Now, about POCKET FIGHTER!
Pocket Fighter or Super Gem Mini Fighter is a game released by Capcom in 1997
It was released for Sega Saturn
Playstation (or Psone)
It got a Playstation 2 version, later.
Obviously, it has a original version released on arcades.
The Sega Saturn version i played here in the Hadougame Channel, and the link is here about, if you wanna see.
What a Heck is Pocket Fighter?!
It was a new proposal of Capcom
to bring up a comical stuff to street fighter universe
How they do that? They uses a draw style called S.D.
Maybe you know that. It means Super Deformer
S.D. is like a japanese caricature. Is a comical japanese draw
in wich the body proportions
are modified. The head is bigger than the other parts of the body or the opposite
depends on your point of view
The S.D style Street Fighter character wasn't a fresh news in POCKET FIGHTER.
It was used in the previous year (1996) in the game
Puzzle Fighter released by Capcom.
It was other type of game.
That remember Tetris in wich the GEMs has been droped
Meanwhile the characters hit the opponent's
if one or other complete the gem blocks. I recommend to play
it is very enjoyable for those who like the puzzle games.
Pocket Fighter was staffed by characters from DarkStalkers, Street Fighter Zero
Street Fighter Turbo and also
from other Capcom Success
with less glamour, called Red Earth
Like others Street Fighters Zero games, each fighter follow it owns Story Sequence.
Therefore it owns sequence of oponents to defeat.
All of them has a final challenge with a diferent character.
Each one has them Last Boss
The great inovation in the Pocket Fighter gameplay
Is the possibility to get Power Ups while the fight is going
The player get the GEMs Power Ups
Maybe that was the reason to call the game as GEM FIGHTER
There is GEMs to improve the Punch Skills
There is GEMs to improve the Kick Skills
And there is GEMs to improve the SPECIAL SKILLS
There is other power ups like FOOD to recover the fighter energy during the match.
It means that you can recover the energy diring the fight.
Pocket Fighter has a very funny sequence of combos
in wich the characters perform transformations in other things.
and other fellows of Capcom Universe
The game has a playability
simplified. Instead of the 3 punchs
and 3 kicksit counts with one punch button
one kick button and one special button.
It simplify a lot the way that you learn how to play the game.
So, if you like this type of game
A well humored Fighting game
and wanna get a free laughs. I recommend this one.
It looks like a childish game
but it wasn't. It is very funny
It is all for now. If you liked this video, please thumbs up
