hello everyone welcome to cnn1 and
welcome to New Orleans I am Coy wire
coming to you from the iconic Jackson
Square renamed in the year 1815 to honor
General Andrew Jackson who won the
Battle of New Orleans for America as the
British army attempted to take over the
city in the War of 1812 all right we
have made it to #y word Wednesday the
day of the week one of you helped us
write the show stay tuned to see if your
vocab word is the winner all right we
start today with news out of North
America where the leaders of the US
Mexico and Canada announced a deal to
pause US president Donald Trump's
tariffs on imports from two of America's
closest trading partners for at least 30
days on Monday president Trump signed
two new executive orders that put a
pause to a planned 20 5% tariff on
Canada and Mexico that were set to take
effect on Tuesday there were also 10%
tariffs levied against China over the
weekend but those still went into effect
on Tuesday tariffs are essentially taxes
on importer goods and part of the Trump
administration's goal in levying the
tariffs on Mexico and Canada was to
convince those countries to do more to
stop the flow of drugs and undocumented
immigrants from coming into the us and
it seems both Mexico and Canada are
setting out to conciliate president
Trump both us neighbors stood down on
retaliatory tariffs of their own while
agreeing to boost border security and
increase efforts to combat drug
trafficking in Mexico president Claudia
Shin bomb committed to deploying 10,000
of Mexico's national guard members to
the US Mexico border and in Canada prime
minister Justin Trudeau said that in
exchange for the Tariff pause the
country will invest in border security
creating a joint strike force with the
US to combat organized crime appoint a
fentel zar and join the US in listing
cartels as terrorist groups The Fallout
from the Tariff threat was Swift US
Stock markets were shaky on Monday
businesses braced for tough periods of
higher prices with the tariffs now
paused for the US and its neighbors all
three of the nation's economies could be
avoiding the worst impacts like boosted
inflation a recession and an expanding
trade War over the weekend the Palisades
and eaten fires in Southern California
were fully contained nearly a month
after the blazes broke out the two fires
are the second and third most
destructive wildfires in California
history according to Cal Fire over
37,000 Acres were burned with homes and
businesses destroyed and dozens of
people losing their lives now officials
are focusing on the cleanup what will be
a months-long process to remove toxic
Ash hazardous waste and charred debris
from everyday items is already underway
CNN's Julia Vargas Jones is on the
ground in a burn Zone in Altadena to
show us how teams from the Environmental
Protection Agency are working to clear
the Hazardous Waste the fires have left
behind sifting through Alena's ashes
what were once homes now piles of toxic
waste the cleanup after the deadly eaten
fires just beginning uh so we put a
white ax to mark that we've checked it
and it doesn't have anything dangerous
in it weeks after Flames decimated
thousands of homes and businesses Crews
and hazmat suits roam the ruins the
Environmental Protection Agency carrying
out what they call phase one a
painstaking process removing all that is
hazardous in the fire's aftermath uh
they common goods from your house paints
from your shop uh they may be oils from
your garage uh propane from your grill
these are the kinds of materials we're
looking for and we'll remove if they're
if they haven't been burned Harry Allen
has been with the EPA for more than 20
years and helped in the recovery after
major wildfires Naoma woy fire here in
La Lina um yeah this one is larger than
those but this time around another
danger lurking amidst the rubble
partially damaged batteries inside that
battery it can get hot and the gas can
ignite and cause a a fire just on its
own on its own and if you watch videos
of this they look like little Roman
candles if you're familiar with that
firework uh and the fire comes out like
a jet from the battery and it can be
very harmful once EPA Crews remove these
dangerous items and dispose of them
safely phase one is complete what
happens after that once that phase one
is fully completed phase two can start
which is either public or private
contractors will come in and remove uh
the debris from each property the scope
of the disaster and the magnitude of the
work ahead now coming into focus on
these blocks gas and power just starting
to come back online Beyond them thousand
more residences await how long to
complete all of the eaten fire area I
mean this is It's the whole Community we
don't know how long it's going to take
but we've gotten uh a lot of pressures
and direction to complete the work
faster than we normally would and so
we're ramping up our staffing to try to
meet those goals for those displaced and
who are ready to start rebuilding those
goals can come soon
enough Pop Quiz Hot Shot which of the
following is the largest humanitarian
Aid Network in the world international
Committee of the Red Cross the world
food program Doctors Without Borders or
International Rescue
committee if you said International
Committee of the Red Cross you are
correct almost every country in the
world has a Red Cross National Society
made up of professional and volunteer
humanitarians who help during times of
Crisis the way humanitarian workers are
able to respond to disasters is
improving as technology advances now
unmanned aerial vehicles or drones have
become a helpful tool for delivering
humanitarian Aid and health supplies
especially during disasters like floods
droughts storms or earthquakes that make
getting to those in need extremely
difficult our Nick Valencia gives us a
look at the latest technology being used
to deliver humanitarian Aid to people
who are Out Of
Reach there's a new vehicle to deliver
Aid and relief to areas previously
Beyond reach and its name is ultramark I
it's the newest version of the wind
Racers companies self-flying cargo
drones so what you see is a platform the
pool they look similar to the previous
Incarnation but with double the power
double the payload at plus changes that
increase it's usability it's
dependability also included in the
upgrade is its ability to remain
overhead for up to 9 hours with a range
of up to 621 Mi or 1,000 km the Drone
can take off and land on almost any
terrain and can operate day or night
without the aid of a remote pilot and
with minimal ground operator oversight
created to cut down the costs associated
with delivering humanitarian Aid to
remote communities the ultramark I will
accomplish just that in a partnership
with the French NGO Aviation s Frontier
the daily job for ISF is going where the
cannot go anymore for the normal
Airlines the regular Airlines
humanitarian Aid groups like the world
food program are also among many
organizations on board with the idea of
unmanned aerial vehicles or uavs while
they don't believe the drones will
replace the traditional method of
delivering Aid they do believe the
drones will help alleviate humanitarian
challenges by delivering time critical
items to hard to reach areas that's why
we want to use the the Drone because the
the the access of the population that
the risk of the Ed worker is in craes
every day in addition to providing
humanitarian Aid the ultra MK2 will be
used to hold radar systems for the
Norwegian Research Center in an effort
to detect Antarctic climate
