CNN 10 it is Tuesday February 25th and
did you know on this date way back in

Senate there's a little Black History
Month fun fact for you to start the show
now it's time to help you fuel your mind

minutes lots to get to not a lot of time
to do it so let's get to it we start
today in Germany which elected a new
ruling party in national elections over
the weekend Chancellor Olaf scholes
conceded defeat for his center-left
Social Democratic party to Conservative
Christian democrats who will now lead
the next coalition government Germany
holds Democratic elections much like
those in the US but their system of
government is a parliamentary one
legislative power lies in the
democratically elected parliament of
Germany called the bundestag so voters
choose the members of parliament and
their political parties who are then
given seats in the bundestag based on
those votes now voters don't directly
elect the chancellor but the outcome of
the Parliamentary vote determines which
party leader gets the role elections to
the bundestag take place every four
years but last November members of the
parliament unhappy with Chancellor
Scholl's firing of a finance minister
led to a no confidence vote now that's a
vote Parliament takes to determine if a
majority of members no longer support
the leader in power Chancellor scholes
lost that vote of confidence which
triggered early parliamentary elections
that took place over the weekend now

biggest economy and most populous
country after his center-right Christian
Democratic Union party one more than 28%
of the vote without an absolute majority

form a pow sharing arrangement with
other political parties creating a
coalition government to lead the
executive Pop Quiz Hotshot which of
these is the only active volcano on
Mainland Europe Mount Etna mount vvus
mount elbris or
catla if you said mount vvus you are
correct the active volcano located on
the Italian Peninsula last erupted in
March of the Year
1944 Mount vvus may have erupted 80
years ago but it's best known for the
eruption that occurred in 79 ad covering
the ancient city of Pompei in volcanic
ash for thousands of years
archaeologists have spent centuries
unearthing the well-preserved ancient
city in Italy and continue making
discoveries even today and we're getting
a glimpse of the high-end Resort like
destinations the people were enjoing
nearly 2,000 years ago our Ben Weedman
is there to show us around a lavish Spa
complex that's recently been Unearthed
in Pompei around noon in
ad79 Mount Vesuvius began to erupt if
they were lucky residents managed to
flee the rest were dead for centuries
afterwards Pompei was largely forgotten
until the middle of the 1700s when
digging began in Earnest the site is so
vast and it's you know
13,000 rooms excavated in 2 and a half
centuries there are still new
discoveries the latest this lavish
complex of baths including a caladium or
hot room a tepidarium a warm room and a
frigidarium a room with a pool of cold
water and the banquet hall now one of
the reasons why Pompei is so well
preserved is that when the eruption of
Vesuvius took place it was covered by
this pmus lightweight
solidified
lava running is an activity that tends
to bring up some strong opinions people
either love it or they loath it having
said that we're finding it's more
popular than ever with running clubs
popping up in cities all over the world
and marathons seeing record numbers of
participants while our very own health
writer meline hokom was never a fan of
running but she did some work for us to
find out how maybe we could learn to
like it check out the tips she got from
an Olympian while training for a 5k I'm
mine hul I'm a wellness writer for CNN
and I am on a journey to try to like
running I want to when I wake up in the
morning feel motivated to run and not
dread it like I do now and so many don't
dread running there's been record
attendance at marathons everywhere from
London to New York so I asked for some
help because in one month mon I want to
run my first 5k I decided to bring in an
expert running coach and Olympian Julie
Benson there's a saying in the running
community that our sport is your sports
punishment you know there's still this
little kind of negative connotation when
it comes to running the first three
weeks are very tough honestly that one
was kind of discouraging start in very
small segments and work their running
segments up a little bit more try not to
add more than maybe 10% to each run so
if you're doing 30 minutes of 60 seconds
jog 60 seconds walk that's 15 minutes of
running so your next run shouldn't be
much more total than 16 or 17 minutes
and just keep going that way you will
turn that corner one day and all of a
sudden you're going to say oh my gosh I
just ran four minutes in a row without
[Music]
stopping well it is early it's cold but
it is race day and after a little over a
month of trying to put running into
practice I'm excited but I'm also kind
of nervous of course my competitive
nature is a little bit worried that I'm
going to come in dead last
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right Jane James Tim
Sarah mine great finish I finished which
was really exciting this has really
taught me that you can't go 100% 100% of
the time and learning how to Pace myself
I think really made a difference if I'm
being totally honest running still isn't
my passion I still am a dance Pilates
martial arts class kind of gal but I do
feel good afterward and I do enjoy it
along the way and I'm excited to have
running as another tool in my physical
fitness tool
