00:13

my name is carl azuz and you've landed

00:15

on cnn

00:16

10 your objective source for news in 10

00:18

minutes we're so happy to have you

00:20

watching this thursday

00:21

last night was another debate night

00:23

related to the upcoming u.s presidential

00:25

election

00:26

but it wasn't the presidential nominees

00:28

who were facing off

00:29

it was the vice presidential nominees

00:31

incumbent vice president mike pence

00:33

representing the republican party

00:35

u.s senator kamala harris representing

00:37

the democratic party

00:38

like the presidential debates last

00:40

night's event was sponsored by the

00:41

nonpartisan commission on presidential

00:43

debates

00:44

it was scheduled to take place at the

00:46

university of utah in salt lake city

00:48

utah

00:48

the moderator was susan page of usa

00:51

today and the plan was that the

00:53

90-minute debate would be broken up into

00:55

nine

00:55

segments of about 10 minutes each the

00:57

coronavirus pandemic was an expected

00:59

topic

01:00

and social distancing measures were on

01:02

the stage the candidates were seated at

01:04

least 12 feet apart

01:05

plexiglas panels were set up between

01:08

them and as far as debate strategy goes

01:10

one political analyst put it like this

01:13

candidates in a vice presidential debate

01:15

have a straightforward series of goals

01:17

portray their running mates as the best

01:19

choice for voters defend their own

01:21

records

01:22

and attack the records of the opposing

01:23

candidates we got a glimpse of the

01:25

candidates different approaches during

01:27

their party conventions over the summer

01:29

when they were officially nominated for

01:30

the job of vice president

01:33

make no mistake the road ahead is not

01:36

easy

01:38

we may stumble we may fall short

01:42

but i pledge to you that we will act

01:45

boldly and deal with our challenges

01:49

honestly we will speak truths

01:53

and we will act with the same faith in

01:56

you

01:57

that we ask you to place in us in these

02:01

challenging times our country needs a

02:03

president who believes in america

02:06

who believes in the boundless capacity

02:08

of the american people

02:09

to meet any challenge defeat any foe

02:13

and defend the freedoms we hold dear and

02:16

with president donald trump

02:18

in the white house for four more years

02:21

and with god's help we will make america

02:24

great again again

02:28

next up on the campaign calendar a

02:30

second presidential debate on october

02:32

15th

02:32

but that may depend on president donald

02:34

trump's coronavirus recovery

02:36

he's now back at the white house after

02:38

being treated last weekend

02:40

at walter reed national medical center

02:42

the president says he's feeling great

02:44

and looking forward to the debate

02:45

democratic presidential nominee joe

02:47

biden says if the president still has

02:50

covid

02:50

the two candidates shouldn't have a

02:52

debate we'll keep you posted

02:55

ten-second trivia which of these u.s

02:58

founding fathers never served as

02:59

president

03:00

james madison benjamin franklin john

03:02

adams or thomas jefferson

03:08

benjamin franklin was an ambassador a

03:10

governor the first postmaster general

03:12

but never a president

03:14

[Music]

03:16

quote for years the u.s postal service

03:19

has been losing

03:20

billions of dollars that's true now but

03:22

the quote came from a line i wrote in

03:24

2013.

03:25

at that time the reasons included email

03:28

fewer letters were being sent

03:29

a series of bad business decisions and

03:32

the controversial retirement fund it has

03:34

which you'll hear more about in a minute

03:35

but today increased package deliveries

03:38

and a steady stream of first-class mail

03:40

are

03:40

bringing in large amounts of revenue for

03:42

the postal service but the agency

03:44

is still losing money and some observers

03:47

are concerned about whether it'll be

03:48

able to handle a larger number of

03:50

mail-in ballots

03:51

for the upcoming election as more people

03:53

avoid polling places out of coronavirus

03:55

concerns

03:56

here's a closer look at some more

03:58

factors in the postal services struggles

04:02

[Music]

04:06

the u.s postal service can trace its

04:08

history back to 1775

04:10

when the second continental congress

04:12

appointed benjamin franklin as

04:14

postmaster general to help ensure that

04:16

free ideas and information could be

04:18

shared throughout the colonies

04:20

it was not intended to be a profitable

04:22

business

04:23

it's about service correct not about

04:25

profit today there's no other government

04:27

agency

04:28

or business that operates like the

04:30

postal service

04:31

first of all the u.s postal service

04:33

receives zero tax dollars for operating

04:36

expenses

04:37

the postal service has to use its own

04:39

revenue from things like stamps and

04:40

package deliveries to operate

04:42

although it does receive indirect

04:44

government subsidies such as having a

04:46

protected monopoly on delivering

04:47

first-class mail

04:50

secondly the postal service doesn't set

04:52

its own prices like fedex and ups do

04:55

congress sets them but by law usps has

04:58

to deliver to

04:59

every home in the country no matter how

05:02

remote or unprofitable that delivery may

05:04

be

05:05

case in point to this day the postal

05:07

service delivers mail to a small group

05:09

of people living in the grand canyon

05:12

by mule this leads to the third problem

05:16

the u.s postal service has been losing

05:18

money for over a decade

05:20

without change our losses will only

05:22

increase in the years to come

05:24

in 2019 the postal service reported 71

05:27

billion dollars in revenue

05:29

but its expenses totaled almost 80

05:31

billion

05:32

if you dig into those numbers though the

05:34

picture becomes a bit complicated

05:37

in 2006 congress passed the postal

05:39

accountability and enhancement act

05:41

it requires the u.s postal service to

05:43

pre-fund

05:44

75 years worth of retirees health care

05:47

benefits

05:48

in the span of about 10 years before

05:51

this law went into

05:52

effect the postal service was reporting

05:54

profits

05:57

so the u.s postal service is subject to

06:00

the congressional oversight of other

06:02

federal agencies

06:03

without any of the taxpayer funding it

06:06

has the profit-driven business model of

06:08

a private company

06:09

without the freedom to make financial

06:11

decisions for itself

06:15

next up efforts to keep covet 19 out of

06:17

professional sports

06:19

the games in america came back before

06:21

the fans were allowed to

06:22

and in addition to empty arenas the

06:24

national basketball association and

06:26

major league baseball

06:27

are playing their playoff games in a

06:29

bubble meaning selected stadiums away

06:32

from where the team's home courts and

06:33

fields are

06:34

measures designed to decrease the team's

06:36

exposure to coronavirus

06:38

so far this season the national football

06:40

league has postponed two games because

06:42

of covet 19

06:44

and the nfl just announced that 11

06:46

players and 15 staff members

06:48

tested positive last week and its chief

06:50

medical officer says all options are

06:52

still on the table

06:53

as far as more postponements or a

06:55

possible pause in games are concerned

06:58

cnn 10 contributor chris james reports

07:00

on how the league has tightened its

07:01

rules

07:02

on measures like masks chris

07:05

hey carl if there's one thing that

07:06

without a doubt connects you to me

07:09

and each and every viewer watching right

07:10

now it's the fact that we've all had to

07:13

adjust to a new normal during this

07:15

confusing and sometimes

07:16

scary era of coronavirus the national

07:19

football league is no exception

07:21

and this week they've made some

07:22

significant changes in the hopes of

07:24

preventing further outbreaks

07:26

on monday all 32 nfl teams were notified

07:29

of new

07:30

much stricter coveted 19 protocols the

07:32

changes were announced in a memo from

07:34

commissioner roger goodell obtained by

07:36

cnn

07:37

if it's discovered that club personnel

07:38

or players aren't following the rules

07:40

the discipline could include heavy fines

07:43

the adjustment

07:44

or loss of draft choices and even the

07:46

forfeit of a game

07:47

which could create a major competitive

07:49

imbalance

07:50

and get this they're even implementing a

07:53

new video monitoring system

07:55

they'll be using this technology to make

07:56

sure that everyone is complying with the

07:58

league's mandate

07:59

that team personnel wear personal

08:01

protective equipment ppe

08:02

at all times while in a team facility or

08:05

traveling

08:06

this comes as new england patriots qb

08:08

cam newton tested positive for the virus

08:11

and at least 20 separate coveted cases

08:13

were reported by the tennessee titans

08:15

and the nfl is already putting its money

08:17

where its mouth is

08:18

they've issued fines against 10 members

08:20

of the las vegas raiders a league source

08:22

told cnn

08:23

the fines come one week after the 10

08:26

raiders players failed to wear face

08:27

coverings

08:28

while attending a fundraiser hosted by

08:30

tight end darren waller

08:32

waller was fined thirty thousand dollars

08:34

while his nine teammates had to pay

08:36

fifteen thousand dollars each back to

08:38

you carl

08:41

[Applause]

08:45

in a neighborhood of boulder colorado a

08:47

female bear and her two cubs were

08:49

recently

08:50

caught and relocated and in their mad

08:52

dash back to freedom

08:54

the camera was the casualty boom

08:57

wildlife officials say bears get pretty

08:59

bold this time of year looking for food

09:01

anywhere they can get it as they prepare

09:03

to hibernate these were safely and

09:05

successfully relocated

09:07

and the video is a reminder to stay out

09:09

of their way

09:10

it's not really polarizing advice and

09:13

you don't need to be spectacled to bear

09:15

leave there's a real danger if you cody

09:17

actually find claws to get face to

09:19

muzzle with such a very real threat the

09:21

outcome could be grizzly

09:23

wakefield high school gets today's shout
