Welcome to commercial-free CNN STUDENT NEWS. I`m Carl Azuz.
-
We`ve got a story related to Earth Day coming up this April 22.
-
First up, though, the U.S. is deploying warships to the waters near Yemen.
-
The Middle Eastern country has been at civil war since Houthi rebels took over Yemeni government buildings earlier this year.
-
International officials say the Houthis are supported by Iran and Iran is believed to be sending a convoy of several ships to Yemen, ships that some officials suspect may be carrying weapons to the Houthis.
-
Nine vessels from the U.S. Navy, along with ships from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and others, are monitoring the waters near Yemen.
-
They`re prepared to intercept the Iranian ships, if necessary.
-
An Iranian Naval official says Iran`s ships in the area are there legally to fight piracy and protect commerce.
-
All this is raising tensions between the U.S. and Iran weeks after an international agreement was announced concerning Iran`s controversial nuclear program.
-
Next today, from the presidential palace to prison -- Egypt`s former leader has received a 20-year jail sentence.
-
In 2012, Mohamed Morsy became Egypt`s first democratically elected president.
-
He`s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious and political group which many Egyptians feared was trying to dominate the Egyptian government.
-
Late in 2012, protests began against then President Morsy and the Muslim Brotherhood.
-
Morsy and 14 others on trial were accused of inciting violence and torturing the protesters in December of 2012.
-
The defendants were all found guilty of that, but acquitted of murder charges in some of the protesters` deaths.
-
Morsy was overthrown in a military coup in July of 2013.
-
Yesterday`s sentence came in one of several cases he`s standing trial in.
-
All right, one famous brand you won`t find in U.S. stores right now, Blue Bell.
-
The maker of ice cream, frozen yogurt and other frozen desserts has voluntarily recalled all of its products.
-
Health officials say three people have died and five have gotten sick from listeria.
-
It`s a type of bacteria that, in these cases, might have come from Blue Bell products.
-
Those affected were in Kansas and Texas.
-
The company made gradual recalls in recent weeks.
-
It says it decided to recall everything when listeria was found in different places in different plants.
-
Blue Bell says it`s not sure exactly how listeria got into its facilities,
-
but the company is planning new cleaning methods, training methods and testing methods to improve food safety.
-
So what`s listeria and how does it get you sick?
-
Listeria gets its name from English surgeon, Dr. Joseph Lister.
-
he`s famous for introducing sterilization into surgery.
-
The mouthwash, Listerine, is also named after Dr. Lister.
-
Listeria is a serious infection.
-
It`s usually cautioned by eating food contaminated with the bacterium.
-
Listeria monocytogenes and it`s deadly.
-
About 1,600 cases of listeriosis are reported in the United States every year.
-
And about one in five people with the infection die.
-
If you have listeria, a doctor will prescribe antibiotics.
-
So who`s more at risk?
-
At least 90 percent of people who get these infections are pregnant women, babies, he elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
-
To prevent it, doctors recommend thoroughly cooking meat, thoroughly cleaning raw fruits and vegetables and washing hands, utensils and countertops after handling uncooked foods.
-
Do not drink unpasteurized milk or eat foods that contain unpasteurized milk.

We`re visiting Milton, Delaware today.
-
It`s where The Vikings are setting sail from Mariner Middle School.
-
Traveling down the East Coast, we come to South Carolina.
-
It`s great to see The Patriots in The Palmetto State.
-
They`re watching at Powdersville High School in Greeneville.
-
And south through the Caribbean, we arrive in Honduras.
-
Hello all of our viewers at Esuela Internacional Sampedrana.
-
It`s in San Pedro Sula.
-
In the U.S. and several other countries, Earth Day is marked every year on April 22,
-
though some nations celebrate it on the vernal equinox, the first day of spring.
-
It started in 1970, the same year that The Clean Air and Endangered Species Acts were passed by Congress.
-
The focus is on the environment, conserving what we have, protecting plants, animals and land for future generations
-
and on finding ways to make better and broader use of renewable resources.
-
President Obama plans to discuss the issue of climate change and he`s headed to Florida`s Everglades to do it.
-
The marshy region, the so-called river of grass, covers thousands of square miles in Southern Florida.
-
Out of all of the locations we went for "The Wonder List," the Everglades, to me, was the most surprising.
-
Lemony fresh. Put that in your water.
-
This is cleaner than mom`s kitchen.
-
Half the Everglades is dead, essentially.
-
It was diked and diverted and ditched back in the `50s and even sooner to try to turn Florida into this paradise we -- we know and love and our grandmas live.
-
And the other half is sort of on life support and -- and it really comes down to getting the right amount of clean, fresh water to the right places at the right time.
-
And what makes it so unique that it`s -- it`s contained in Florida. It`s contained in one state.
-
If the state of Florida can`t pull this off, no one can.
-
There is only one Everglades and when it`s gone, it is gone.
-
And seven million people depend on that water in those aquifer, so it`s not about saving gators and baby otters,
-
it`s -- it`s about all of us.
-
It`s also cultural, too, Bill.
-
You know, when we -- when we talk about our national identity, we think of wilderness areas, we
-
-- we typically think of Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone and these -- these other awe-inspiring landscapes.
-
But the Everglades is every bit of -- as emblematic of -- of our national identity as any of these other areas.
-
I just hope that people can connect with that and can identify with it and can also learn to embrace it because,
-
you know, we need it. It`s who we are. It`s very American.
-
If you have a car, you know that fixing them is not cheap
-
and that a breakdown can be financially devastating for people living from paycheck to paycheck.
-
At age 38, a woman named Kathy Heying decided to do something about that.
-
She`d ultimately found The Lift, a non-profit garage that makes car repairs affordable.
-
There was a problem, though. Heying knew nothing about fixing cars.
-
I had been a delivery driver coming up on a year now.
-
Having a car problem just brings a lot of stress.
-
I`m definitely worried about my safety.
-
Having two daughters, it just really heightened the situation.
-
I was a social worker for 15 years.
-
I kept seeing people struggling with making ends meet.
-
One car repair can upset the entire apple cart.
-
I just kept thinking, why isn`t somebody doing something about this?
-
And then one day it occurred to me, oh, dang,
-
I think that somebody might be me.
-
I did not grow up working on cars.
-
So I ended up getting a degree in auto technology.
-
...the car smell it.
-
Does it get worse when you turn on the heat?
-
How we`re different than a regular garage is that people have to meet certain income requirements.
-
I was quoted close to $1,400.
-
We charge the customer $15 an hour for labor.
-
The market rate was about $100 an hour.
-
We don`t do any mark-up on the parts.
-
You get a hug.
-
Did I fix everything?
-
It`s just a lot of weight off my shoulders.
-
Thanks. Take care.
-
It`s about moving people forward and moving their lives forward.
