International Relations factored into
today's top stories on CNN 10 I'm Carl
azuz welcome to the show we're starting
in a nation that's been described as a
bridge between houston way turkey
between Europe and the Middle East
between the Mediterranean and the Black
Sea has a population of more than 80
million the parliamentary Republic and a
major referendum a vote coming up this
Sunday could dramatically change the way
the country is governed Turkish voters
will be deciding whether or not to
change their country's constitution and
turn its parliamentary system into a
presidential one this would give turkish
President Recep tie up berta one more
power and it could allow him to stay in
office as the nation's leader until 2020
nine supporters say there are too many
voices in the government and that the
amendments would strengthen it with one
clear leader they also say the president
would be more effective at stabilizing
Turkey and dealing with militants who
want the government overthrown opponents
of the amendment say they give the
president too much power that he's
already pushed the boundaries and that
the changes would move Turkey away from
democracy the country appears to be
deeply divided over the referendum and
it's not certain yet which way voters
are leaning protect our boat awanas rule
turkey for over a decade during which
the country has become a regional
powerhouse he became turkey's first
directly elected president in 2014 after

from seeking a fourth term as Prime
Minister there the one hope to transform
the office of the presidency
traditionally mostly ceremonial role
into a fully-fledged executive office
through a constitutional referendum in
March 2017 Iran got caught up in a messy
diplomatic spat with the leaders of the
Netherlands and indeed of some other
European countries after they barred
Turkish ministers from
painting for the referendum in the
country which has a significant
community of Turkish the Astra he's also
facing our that big challenges the
country's part of the us-led coalition
fighting Isis turkey also fighting a
full-scale insurgency from Kurdish
militants light leaks PKK both groups
have carried out deadly bombings in
recent years damn bleep turkey tourism
and hurting the economics that the
biggest challenge to his rule came in
July of 2016 when a group of military
officers tried to push him out of power
the two failed and in an ironic twist
boosted her on political power despite
all the challenges so dhawan does still
enjoy huge support at home and will
without doubt remains the key figure in
Turkish politics for the near future
starting last year North Korea stepped
up its controversial nuclear program
there's been an increase in rhetoric
threatening speech there regarding the
United States an American aircraft
carrier strike group is headed toward
Korean waters following a North Korean
missile test last week and the communist
country issued a warning that it would
respond to any quote reckless acts of
aggression meanwhile China which borders
to the north is calling for calm what's
the move like across the other border in
South Korea it's a US ally a potential
target of the North our people they're
concerned about all this
simulating an attack on the subway in
Seoul South Korea's emergency services
trained to respond to a bomb or gas
attack an air raid siren signals a
bigger attack on the population of Seoul
citizens should move underground quickly
to safety these drills are held once or
twice a year and are often ignored by
many the South Korean government says
there are more than 18,000 bomb shelters
around the country including subways
this one in downtown Seoul one of many
which doubles as a bomb shelter they've
also produced these documents brochures
telling citizens what to do in case of
emergencies including the outbreak of
war but what they couldn't tell us is
where we could find these brochures and
how many had actually ended up in the
hands of the public there's a distinct
lack of concern on the sunny streets of
Seoul a deep-rooted sense of business as
usual for one simple reason South Korea
has been technically at war with its
northern neighbor since nineteen
fifty-three when an armistice not a
peace treaty was signed the threat of
attack is constant but also distant well
I think were injured spinning there this
man says I'm nearly 70 years old if I
was worried i would have emigrated there
can't be a second Korean War as the US
military beefs up its presence in Korean
waters experts wonder what President
Trump means when he says he'll go it
alone if he has to and whether all
options are really on the table the
national security advisor to a former
South Korean president says even a
preemptive strike on North Korea by the
u.s. does not necessarily mean war I
don't believe that enduring is crazy I
don't think he's interested in his self
destruction so he will be very careful
as the rhetoric increases in Washington
and Pyongyang soulful one is staying
calm Paula Hancocks CNN Seoul 10 seconds
trivia what is believed to be the most
common element in the universe lead
carbon hydrogen or helium the number one
element on the periodic table and in the
known universe is hydrogen
the Honda clarity is one of the first
production cars powered by hydrogen now
on sale to the public but only in
California and that's also the only
state where you can fuel it up there are
26 hydrogen stations there and none that
will work outside the state sticker
price for the car is just under sixty
thousand dollars it's only offered as a
lease though of 369 dollars per month
plus a down payment with that Honda
includes 15 thousand dollars worth of
hydrogen that's significant because
hydrogen can sell for the equivalent of
more than fifteen dollars per gallon of
gas the car gives off no carbon dioxide
emissions in real-world testing found it
to be quiet and comfortable but with a
limited range it's been advertised is
going 366 miles on a full tank of
hydrogen the testers found it actually
traveled much less than that so it's
hard to say if hydrogen will fuel future
transportation but a hydrogen train is
being tested in Germany it's not
particularly fast as trains go its price
hasn't been published but it's expected
to be more expensive than common diesel
trains will be environmental trade-offs
keep it on track
the only excess of this train is water
steam and some little contents water
refueling is much more easy than planned
easily filming it just has to connect
the refueling to the trainer that's
automatically refuels with hydrogen well
here's one way to light up your video
blog a woman in California was recently
speaking casually to her viewers when a
celestial event took place behind her
that was visible across the region we're
from did you grow speed art oh we saw it
scientists say it could have been a
meteor that exploded apart when it
entered Earth's atmosphere creating that
brilliant and startling flash no one was
hurt so there was nothing to atmosphere
but will this be a meteoric rise of a
brilliant blogger will it make her a
star or would critics say she's all
flash we think it's shed light on her
subjects and made her report very flash
