CNN 10 - March 14, 2018 | President Trump examines prototypes for a wall between the U.S. and Mexico - Duration: 10:01.
A change in the Trump administration that could be noticed around the world is today`s
first story on CNN 10.
I`m Carl Azuz.
We`re starting to look at the U.S. secretary of state. This is the top adviser to the president
on international affairs. He or she conveys U.S.
foreign policy to the rest of the world. The person who`s held the job since last February
is Rex Tillerson. He`s a former businessman who used
to lead the ExxonMobil oil and gas company, as well as the Boy Scouts of America.
And some observers say Tillerson tackled the secretary of state job with the same diligence
and dedication he used to lead the Boy Scouts from 2010
to 2012. But critics say that Tillerson`s business experience did not translate to effective
leadership at the State Department. And on several
issues, like international trade and government policy, related to Iran, North Korea, and
Russia, Secretary Tillerson often disagreed with President
Donald Trump.
Yesterday, the president announced that he was firing the secretary of state, saying
the two of them were not really thinking the same.
President Trump said he and Mike Pompeo have a similar thought process. Pompeo is the director
of the Central Intelligence Agency and he`s now
President Trump`s choice to become the next secretary of state.
Pompeo graduated first in his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and later
from Harvard Law School. The Republican from Kansas served
three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives before he became CIA director. But like that
job, the position of secretary of state is cabinet
level. So, Director Pompeo will need approval from the Senate to fill it. His confirmation
hearings are set for April.
Ten-second trivia:
A border measuring 1,954 miles separates what two countries?
North Korea and South Korea, U.S. and Canada, U.S. and Mexico, or China and Russia?
This is the length of the border between the U.S. and its southern neighbor, Mexico.
Yesterday, President Trump had a look at prototypes for the wall he wants built on that border.
One of his first promises as presidential
candidate was to build the wall and have the nation of Mexico pay for it. That country
has refused, but the Trump administration says it will
eventually find a way to have Mexico fund the wall. For now, it needs money from Congress.
Estimates for building the wall ranged from $10 billion to $70 billion. The president
says walls work to keep illegal immigrants out of the
country. Critics say borders can be secured more cheaply with fencing, border agents and
technology.
The eight prototypes the president saw yesterday in San Diego, California, had been standing
and tested since October.
What would it take to build a wall on the border between the United States and Mexico?
You`re talking about an area 1,954 miles, stretching across California, Arizona, New
Mexico and right here in Texas -- just about 100 yards away
from Mexico.
We spoke to civil engineers, architects and academics. They all say the wall can be built.
It can be done. The question is, how?
The first thing one has to do is, before you go up, you have to go down and build a foundation.
This will help provide support for the wall. In order
to prevent people from tunneling under it, it should be at least five feet deep.
The second thing one must consider is what do you use to build the wall? What materials
do you go after?
Well, how about cinderblock? The upside is it`s strong; it`s secure; it`s readily available.
The downside is, it`s labor intensive to have to stack
every single brick in order to build the wall. So, our experts say that option doesn`t work.
There is another option. Using poured concrete on site. That`s what they did when they built
the Hoover Dam. The downside to that is when you poor
concrete in warmer climates like along many of these border states, experts say what you
could end up with is a weaker wall, because the concrete might
not dry correctly, meaning a wall that could end up crumbling.
So what could be the answer here?
The experts that we spoke to say the way to go is pre-casted cement wall panels. Those
panels will be lined side by side, sort of like what you
might see on a highway. Each panel would be about 20 feet high, again, five feet below
ground, about 10 feet wide and eight inches thick.
Again, that wall would be stretching some 2,000 miles, and our expert says it would
require 339 million cubic feet of concrete. And that`s just for
the panels. You`re also going to need reinforced steel, at least 5 billion pounds.
So what about the estimated cost?
And what about the timing on all of this? How long would it take to build? According
to our expert, if you`re ambitious, you could get it done within
a presidential term, four years.
Next today, 10 million. That`s the number of children who are estimated to be caught
up in modern day slavery around the world.
CNN`s My Freedom Day, which is Wednesday, encourages students and schools to hold events
that celebrate freedom and draw attention to modern slavery.
It`s a student-driven action. Groups from India to Kenya to the Philippines are planning
to take part. One hope for what`s called "A Day
Against Slavery" is that steps will be taken to help eliminate human trafficking worldwide.
We first met Fedna in October 2011 while filming "COMMON DREAMS", a CNN Freedom Project
documentary that aimed to shed a light on the issue of restavek in Haiti.
Local non-profit say as many as 400,000 children work as domestic servants in Haiti`s restavek
system, a traditional practice where children are sent
to live with a relative or a friend in the hopes that children will receive an education
in exchange for doing household chores.
But too often, the children are exploited during work beyond their years and left vulnerable
to all manners of abuse.
She`s doing work that`s beyond her physical strength, that`s beyond her capabilities,
work that the adults should be doing.
HOLMES: Fedna was just 8 years old, living as a domestic servant in her grandfather`s
house. Like most restavek children, she had never been to
school.
She`s never been to school.
Most restavek children especially the girls do not attend school. Through negotiations
with an advocate from the non-profit Restavek Freedom
Foundation, Fedna`s grandfather agreed to let them take her to school the next day.
He said he would be fine with us to come in and get her to take her to school tomorrow.
Six years later, the CNN Freedom Project went back to Haiti to find Fedna. Now, 14 years
old, she still lives with her grandfather and
she is still in school.
The big difference in my life is that now I can read and write.
Fedna says being in school has been life-changing.
I feel really good for all that I`ve accomplished. And I have learned so much. All the things
that I`ve learned, I apply them in my
daily life and I share them with other children as well.
Samuel Jean Baptiste is Fedna`s child advocate. He says she has grown from a shy, tentative
girl into a confident young woman.
She has motivation. She is devoted to learn. She is working very hard. And I`m
really happy for her. And I hope and I`m sure that she will reach her goal one day and very,
very, very soon because she has motivation for that.
Fedna`s grandfather says he is grateful to Restavek Freedom for the opportunity to send
Fedna to school and he is optimistic about her
future.
I really hope that she will become somebody.
I think now as we work with him and we talked to him about giving her time to play and giving
her time to study, things are
getting better for this child and her life has improved. And she`s a beautiful, beautiful
child.
Fedna says she still does chores at home but she is grateful that she`s been allowed to
make her education the top priority in her life.
It`s important to me because I go to school, I believe I will become somebody in the future.

The Capital Plaza Tower used to be the tallest
building in the Kentucky capital of Frankfurt. But -- well, that changed earlier this
week. In 10 seconds, what was once 350 feet tall became a heap of rubble. A state senator`s
camera gave us this drone`s eye view of the demolition.
The 46-year-old building had needed a lot of work, and an architectural group said it
would be cheaper to tear it down and build a new tower than
to repair the Capital Plaza.
Of course, they`ll need to do a little undusting first. It`s a towering job that`s anything
but a Febreze to Mr. Cleanup. But you can`t be scoured
to get involved and you can`t bulldozed on the job. The vacuumulative effects of Lysol
solving and oxidingly (ph) big mess of glass plus steel
could lead to a new dawn of a Rezunit (ph) skyline.

Trump may tap Larry Kudlow as economic adviser - Duration: 0:33.
President Donald Trump has reportedly tapped economic analyst Larry Kudlow to head the
White House National Economic Council.
Anonymous sources told The Washington Post on Wednesday that Kudlow accepted Trump's
offer to take over the position Gary Cohn left earlier in March.
As of Wednesday morning, it was unclear when Trump would make the official announcement.
But according to CNBC, it could come as early as Thursday.
Kudlow was considered to be the front-runner for the job.
He's worked in media and informally advised Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.

BREAKING: Its Official! He's Gone Trump Just Named His Replacement
I worked with Mike Pompeo now for quite some time
tremendous energy tremendous intellect we're always on the same wavelength the
relationship has been very good and that's what I need as a secretary of
state I wish Rex Tillerson well Jeana by the
way who I know very well what worked very closely will be the first woman
director of the CIA she's an outstanding person who also I have gotten to know
very well so I've gotten to know a lot of people very well over the last year
and I'm really at a point where we're getting very close to having the cabinet
and other things that I want but I think Mike Pompeo will be a truly great
Secretary of State I have total confidence him and as far as Rex
Tillerson is concerned I very much appreciate his commitment that his
service and I wish him well he's a good man
Rex and I have been talking about this for a long time we we've got along
actually quite well but we disagreed on things when you look at the Iran deal I
think it's terrible I guess he fit it was okay
I wanted to either break it or do something and he felt a little bit
differently so we were not really thinking the same with Mike Mike Pompeo
we have a very similar thought process I think it's going to go very well Rex is
a very good man I like Rex a lot I really appreciate his commitment than
his service and I'll be speaking to r XO over a long period of time
no I really didn't discuss it very much with him honestly
I made that decision by myself Rex wasn't as you know in our in this
country I made the North Korea decision with
consultation for many people but I made that decision by myself
I actually got along well with Rex but really it was a different mindset it was
a different thinking
say it again
I respect his intellect I respect the process that we've all gone through
together we have a very good relationship for whatever reason
chemistry whatever it is why do people get along I've always right from the
beginning from day one I've gotten along well with Mike Pompeo and frankly I get
along well with Rex too and you know I wish Rex a lot of good things I think
he's going to do I think he's going to be very happy
I think Rex will be much happier now but I really appreciate his service but with
Mike we've had a very good chemistry right from the beginning
well it sounds to me I'm speaking to Teresa mate today it sounds to me like
it would be Russia based on all of the evidence they have I don't know if
they've come to a conclusion but she's calling me today as you know now we're
going to the wall we're going out to the wall we're going to be looking at the
prototype which is very important for our country but Teresa may is going to
be speaking to me today it sounds to me like they believe it was russia and i
would certainly take that finding as fat
as soon as we get the facts straight and we're going to be speaking with the
british today we're speaking with Theresa May today and as soon as we get
the facts straight if we agree with them we will condemn Russia or whoever it may
be but I have not spoken to out speak to or sometime today
we're very happy with the decision by the House Intelligence Committee saying
there was absolutely no collusion with respect to Russia and it was a very
powerful decision a very strong decision backed up I understand they're going to
be releasing hundreds of pages of proof and evidence but we are very very happy
with that decision it was a powerful decision that left no doubt so I want to
thank the House Intelligence Committee and all of the people that voted so far
I'm looking at Larry Kudlow very strongly I've known him a long time we
don't agree on everything but in this case I think that's good I want to have
a divergent opinion we agree on most he now has come around to believing in
tariffs as also a negotiating point you know I'm renegotiating trade deals and
without tariffs we wouldn't do nearly as well but Larry has been a friend of mine
for a long time he backed me very early in the campaign I think the earliest I
think he was one of my original backers he's a very very talented man a good man
and I think Larry Kudlow has a good chance I'm also speaking to many others
but I think Larry has a very good chance thank you all I'll see you I'll see you
at the wall I'll see you at the wall
thank you god bless you and God bless america

Trump fires Tillerson... bringing disarray to Washington and Seoul over North Korea - Duration: 2:43.
U.S. President Donald Trump has fired his Secretary of State.
The sudden turnaround is causing concern in Washington and Seoul, with the critical summit
between the U.S. and North Korea set to be held in a matter of weeks.
Kwon Jang-ho has this report.
In a tweet, U.S. President Trump announced that he was firing Rex Tillerson as Secretary
of State and nominating CIA Director Mike Pompeo instead.
There were conflicting reports over whether Tillerson was told during his trip to Africa
or whether he discovered his fate from that message on Twitter.
Either way, he confirmed his departure in front of the press later.
"My commission as secretary of state will terminate at midnight, March the 31st.
I'll now return to private life as a private citizen, as a proud American, proud of the
opportunity I've had to serve my country."
The sudden nature of his departure was unexpected, but not surprising.
The relationship between Tillerson and Trump had been on the rocks for several months,
and some were surprised he had lasted this long.
However, there are concerns over the disarray and uncertainty that this change brings, especially
with critical foreign policy issues up in the air, most urgently the landmark U.S.-North
Korea talks slated for May.
"Until Pompeo is confirmed by the senate, he is not the Secretary of State.
The question here is, will Mike Pompeo be appointed before May, and if so, does he have
preferences about who should be leading the arrangements for the talks.
Then, how much time will the new team have to make these arrangements with North Korea."
For Seoul, the immediate issue was whether Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha would visit
Washington as scheduled on Thursday, as she had planned to meet Tillerson.
The foreign ministry confirmed that the visit would go ahead, saying that she would meet
with the deputy secretary, John Sullivan, citing the need for continued communication
between the two administrations at this important time.
Planning both the inter-Korean talks and the U.S.-North Korea talks will likely require
close cooperation between the Seoul and Washington to make sure they are on the same page on
what to get from Pyongyang.
"The problem is the process, the process of denuclearization.
What will be the process that the U.S. would accept with Pompeo as the new Secretary of
State.
The South Korean government has proposed a two-step process; freeze and denuclearization.
I don't think the U.S. would be satisfied with the first step for freeze."
Pressure will be on Kang to swiftly establish a productive relationship with her new Washington
counterpart over the next two months.
