Subtitles section

Hello and welcome to CNN Ten.

I'm Coy Wire here with the news for you this Tuesday, April thirtieth.

Already the last day of April this year is flying by.

We start today with the latest on a story that's been growing and evolving over the past several weeks.

Pro Palestinian protests disrupting college and university campuses across the United States.

At several schools, students have set up encampments to occupy main parts of campus.

Some colleges and universities have called in the police to help disperse the crowds, which has led to some students facing disciplinary action, as well as dozens of arrests of students and faculty.

So what do these protesters want, exactly?

As we discussed last week, many colleges and universities have endowments, which are basically big sums of money that they acquire largely through donations.

The schools invest these endowments,

And these student protesters want their schools to divest or take money away from Israeli companies, from companies that work with Israel, or create weapons for Israel.

The protesters say these companies are helping Israel in its war in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, according to the health ministry there.

Israel says it's fighting this war to take out Hamas, a terrorist organization that runs the Gaza Strip, after Hamas killed more than twelve hundred people on October seventh.

CNN's Rafael Romo has more about how colleges and universities are dealing with these protests as the academic year comes to a close.

At university campuses across the nation, heated protests and some violent clashes between police and pro Palestinian protesters.

What I saw was unprovoked and severe brutality exacted by police.

On some campuses, as fast as the protests popped up.

Universities called police to shut them down by removing demonstrators, a move that has been harshly criticized, and not only by those protesting.

The real problem here is that the administration called the Atlanta police.

The University of Southern California has canceled its main commencement ceremony, citing new safety measures in place.

Dozens were arrested Thursday at Emory University in Atlanta, including Martin Berg.

The third year law student who's expected to graduate in three weeks says their protest was peaceful until the police showed up.

Nothing was disrupted and anyone saying that campus was disrupted doesn't understand what a campus is.

A campus is a place for open expression and exchange of ideas and that's exactly what folks were doing out there.

We are gathered here and we stand firmly.

But some Jewish students say that the last few months since Hamas attacked Israel on October seventh and Israel began its assault on Hamas in Gaza, they have been subjected to a hostile environment.

I believe everyone has a right to protest.

The problem is when it becomes threatening.

Others, like this first year law school student, say tensions within the student body have made it very difficult not only to learn, but to attend school altogether.

We're told that we don't belong on campus because we don't identify with their movement.

To me, that says that they don't want to have a dialogue.

As schools get ready for graduation, they're under intense pressure to bring the situation under control, and many students say that's also what they want.

It is in our best interest to reach an agreement before commencement because we want students and families to be able to celebrate this milestone together on this campus.

The volatile situation has also become a political issue with leaders such as Texas Governor Greg Abbott blasting protesters.

Students joining in hate filled anti Semitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled, he said on X.

I truly do think that dialogue is the only way we as a society are going to be able to come together to truly create lasting peace.

But in an environment where the rhetoric is so loud, the few voices calling for peace are getting drowned out.

Rafael Ramos, CNN, Atlanta.

Next up, we head to Antarctica, home to a fascinating creature, the emperor penguin.

Did you know that they can grow to an average of almost four feet tall?

They're the tallest of all penguin species, but scientists are worried melting sea ice might lead to ninety nine percent of the emperor penguin population dying out by the end of this century.

But all hope is not lost.

CNN's Linda Kincaid explains how these waddling warriors are adapting to their ever changing environment.

Waddling and gliding through the Antarctic, some of these penguins have seen better days.

The world's largest penguin species, emperor penguins, are severely threatened by climate change.

Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey say tens of thousands of emperor penguin chicks may have died as the species battled to survive record low sea ice in twenty twenty three.

We know that they breed on sea ice.

We know that sea ice is one of the first things affected as temperatures warm, ocean temperature and air temperatures.

And we're starting to see these losses in Antarctica now.

Our models are quite dire.

Dire because these penguins also lay their eggs and raise their chicks on sea ice.

But with the ice melting away, the chicks may fall into the sea before they get their waterproof feathers, leaving them to freeze to death or drown.

Despite the recent losses, the year was not as bad as the year for the emperor penguins.

Scientists say it's because some colonies adapted to the worsening conditions by moving south to find better ice, or to more stable ice shelves or icebergs.

It was reassuring that it wasn't quite as bad as we feared with the worst ever sea ice, but it was still bad.

Well, this is a good sign.

Fritwell says work still needs to be done to save the emperor penguin, and we should do it before it's too late.

Pop quiz, hotshot.

Entomology is the study of what?

Dinosaurs, birds, insects, or trees?

If you said insects, you are exactly right.

There are about a million different species, so there is plenty of work to be done.

We recently told you about cicada pocalypse.

It's the phenomenon that hasn't happened in more than two hundred years in the U.S.

It occurs when two different groups of cicadas emerge at around the same time, filling parts of the East and Midwest with a constant buzzing sound.

Let's go to CNN's Whitney Wild to see what all the buzz is about in Illinois, where the cicadas are set to surface.

If you live in several Midwest or Southern states this spring, neighbors you likely didn't know were there will make their presence known by the billions.

These bugs are about to burst from the ground together for the first time in over two hundred and twenty one years.

Two broods of cyclical cicadas will emerge.

Brood nineteen and brood thirteen have been living underground for thirteen and seventeen years each, well before Abby Warren and Persia Arcelus were born.

Are you excited for the cicadas?

Yes, how come you're excited, Abby?

Because I love how they're really loud and they go ear ear.

The two broods haven't crawled above ground at the same time since one.

Back then, Thomas Jefferson was president and Illinois wasn't a state yet.

Fast forward to twenty twenty four and teenage cicadas are set to crawl in every corner of the Prairie State.

Major metro areas like Nashville, Atlanta and St.

Louis will also see their share of what's been dubbed Cicada Geddon.

When groups of males get together, their mating call will be impossible to ignore.

The volume of the buzz can rival a dump truck.

We could see up to a million cicadas per acre emerging in some spots.

Ellen Lawrence studies insects at the Peggy Notovart Nature Museum in Chicago and can't wait for this year's Super Bowl of superbugs.

This means a chance to just be fully immersed in just a really unique entomological phenomenon.

This really only happens in the U.S.

Here, swarms have pestered the press and politicians alike.

For today's story, getting a ten out of ten, I'd like you to meet an eleven year old who loves dogs and cats so much that she wants everyone to have one.

Malia Martinez is using her impressive sewing skills to make dozens of bandanas for shelter animals every week.

How cool is that?

I thought if we maybe like got them like a bandana, they would look cute and be like, oh, this one's cute.

Like maybe I can adopt this one and they would get a home.

she sells her bandanas too with all the proceeds going to charity.

Her goal is to help as many animals as possible.

Well done Malia and well done to all of you.

Thanks for all the shout out requests on our CNN Ten YouTube page.

Shout out to Miss Flannery's class at East High School in Sioux City, Iowa.

Go Raiders!

And this shout out goes to
