One day from Friday. You`ve landed on CNN STUDENT NEWS.
-
I`m Carl Azuz. It`s good to see you this March 5th.
-
The trial has begun for a man accused in the 2013 terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon.
-
It happened near the finish line on April 15th.
-
Three people were killed when two bombs went off.
-
and more than 260 were injured, many losing limbs.
-
An MIT police officer was also killed three days after the bombings,
-
as two suspects, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, allegedly ran from police.
-
Tamerlan was then killed in a gun battle and Dzhokhar was arrested.
-
His defense attorney says he did it, everything he`s accused of.
-
The prosecution and defense agree on the basic facts about the attacks
-
and say that Dzhokhar and Tamerlan carried them out.
-
But while the prosecution says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had a radical view of Islam,
-
was committed to violence and wanted to kill as many people as possible,
-
he defense argues he was influenced by his older brother to do it.
-
The different arguments matter because the government is seeking the death penalty.
-
One of the hardest questions for our society to answer
-
is when do we put our own citizens to death?
-
When it comes to the death penalty,
-
we`re all over the place.
-
As a very general proposition, capital crimes are usually reserved for murder,
-
and not just murder, but murder plus some additional facts
-
that make it particularly egregious.
-
But even that`s not an absolute rule.
-
Sometimes, as in the case of felony murder,
-
a capital crime is when an unintentional killing results
-
during an inherently dangerous felony.
-
Suppose you and a friend rob a bank,
-
but your friend loses it. You know, you`ve seen that movie.
-
It`s always the friends that loses it and shoots the clerk.
-
Well, you can be responsible for that murder,
-
even though you never pulled the trigger and you never intended for anyone to get hurt.
-
Capital crimes are defined differently from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
-
Some states don`t have the death penalty at all.
-
But federal crimes may surprise you.
-
Some federal capital crimes don`t even require a victim to be killed.
-
You can be put to death for espionage and crimes like treason.
-
Perhaps the most famous example is Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,
-
who were convicted as spies and both executed, husband and wife.
-
The interesting thing is because federal courts do have the death penalty,
-
it can be said that there doesn`t exist a non-death penalty state.
-
So, for example, in Massachusetts, the state may not have the death penalty,
-
but the federal government does.
-
And that`s why someone like the Boston bomber can be prosecuted in federal court
-
and put to death for crimes and a trial that existed completely in Massachusetts.
-
Ultimately, it might be really difficult to articulate a rule.
-
Whether or not to even seek the death penalty is usually discretionary. You might think all this inconsistency is a bad thing. But maybe it isn`t. No two crimes are exactly alike. And in a li
-
You might think all this inconsistency is a bad thing.
-
But maybe it isn`t. No two crimes are exactly alike.
-
And in a life or death situation,
-
maybe prosecutors need discretion and maybe the courts do, too.
-
Time for the Shoutout.
-
A 22-year-old is considered to be part of which generation?
-
If you think you know it, shout it out.
-
Is it millennials, baby boomers, silent generation or Generation X?
-
You`ve got three seconds.
-
People born in the 1980s or `90s are generally considered to be millennials.
-
That`s your answer and that`s your Shoutout.
-
OK, so it`s the generation born after 1980 to either late baby boomers or early Gen Xers.
-
Last year, Pew Research reported that millennials have less money
-
than the generations before them,
-
but they`re more optimistic about having it in the future.
-
Politically, they say they`re more independent than their predecessors
-
and they`re less likely to describe themselves as patriotic
-
than Gen Xers or baby boomers.
-
Millennials are the most racially diverse generation in U.S. history.
-
Their shared expertise with technology is something that separates them in the U.S. workforce.
-
The millennial mind set is different from any generation before.
-
Sometimes people don`t understand like that, you know,
-
work is what you do and not necessarily who you are.
-
People in Generation Y have been told that they can be whatever they want to be
-
and they can do whatever they want to do since they were kids.
-
The goal is to be happy, to find meaning.
-
And they`re figuring that out as they go.
-
Life coach Christine Hassler is advising them on how to manage their money.
-
She`s an expert on millennials.
-
And Hassler says she`s constantly surprised by their potential.
-
The way they think and the way they communicate is completely different.
-
They move at a much faster speed mentally than any other generation before.
-
They are amazing learners. Millennials can go in and learn anything very, very quick.
-
Their brain is very adaptable.
-
Change doesn`t scare them as much as other generations
-
because they had to learn something new every day.
-
So what makes them different?
-
Millennials are the first generation to have always had the Internet,
-
which has transformed the way people network and socialize.
-
I can`t live without my iPhone. I just -- I feel naked if I don`t have it on me.
-
This constant plugged in life has its drawbacks for these millennials.
-
They come in and they get this reputation of being entitled or being
-
-- multi-tasking too much or not knowing how to communicate
-
with older members of the generation -- of -- with older generations,
-
because they just rely on technology much more than a Gen Xer or a baby boomer would.
-
At work, millennials are increasingly coveted as employees.
-
More and more businesses want to tap into their expertise and drive.
-
They`re the new marketplace, they`re the new brains.
-
They come with all the social media tools and tricks embedded in them as natives.
-
Still, these are challenging times.
-
According to a recent United Nations report,
-
some 75 million youths globally now find themselves without work.
-
The numbers speak for themselves.
-
It is extraordinary the optimism that millennials can bring
-
to the most challenging of situations.
-
A lot of the jobs that our parents` generation, you know,
-
worked won`t exist anymore, but it`s also exciting,
-
because it means we get to invent new careers.
-
True millennials are not revolutionaries.
-
They don`t want to tear down the system. Oh, no, this generation just wants to run it. Richard Quest, CNN, London.

Hello to Liberty Faith Christian Academy. It`s in Moultrie, Georgia.
-
The Sibuyan Sea is in the Philippines.
-
It was the site of a World War II battle in October, 1944,
-
when U.S. planes dropped torpedoes and bombs on the Musashi,
-
a Japanese warship.
-
More than 1,300 of its sailors were picked up by other Japan ships,
-
but many others were lost, as was the Musashi itself, until now,
-
the year of the 70th anniversary of the war`s end.
-
In an astonishing discovery, Microsoft co- founder and philanthropist, Paul Allen,
-
posted photos to Twitter, believed to be one of Japan`s biggest warships, Musashi,
-
once the largest ship in their fleet.
-
After a fierce battle with the U.S. Navy in 1944,
-
the Musashi sunk to the bottom of the ocean,
-
taking with it over 1,000 crew members on board.
-
At the time of its construction, this was the largest warship ever made,
-
displacing 69,000 tons.
-
After eight years of searching, Paul Allen`s team at Vulcan combined historical data
-
with advanced technology to narrow the search area
-
before deploying a Bluefin underwater vehicle
-
to search and later record this extraordinary footage.

Before we go, at first glance, it might look like any other island,
-
but the vast majority of its residents have four legs.
-
Japan`s Aoshima Island -- could you call it Meowshima Island?
-
-- is actually nicknamed Cat Island.
-
The cat lovers paradise is overrun by more than 100 felines.
-
Its human population is closer to 22.
-
And though Cat Island has no shops or hotels, yet,
-
ferries regularly bring over tourists. Well why not?
