Supporters rally for historic Court nominee

Title: Supporters rally for historic Court nominee
Runtime: 0:45
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: History was made Monday the instant Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court.

President Joe Biden promised he would choose a Black woman for the job and the 51-year-old Harvard-trained Jackson emerged as an early favorite, having won support from the Senate several times before, including a year ago to be an appellate court judge. Democrats have the potential votes in the 50-50 Senate to confirm Jackson, to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, even if all Republicans line up opposed.

Florida gunmaker funnels weapons to Ukraine resistance

Title: Florida gunmaker funnels weapons to Ukraine resistance
Runtime: 1:57
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Adrian Kellgren's family-owned gun company in Florida was left holding a $200,000 shipment of semi-automatic rifles after a longtime customer in Ukraine suddenly went silent during Vladimir Putin's invasion of the country.

Fearing the worst, Kellgren and his company KelTec are now sending those stranded 400 guns to Ukraine's nascent resistance movement to help civilians fight back against the Russian military.

KelTec is a high-profile example of Americans seeking to collect guns, ammunition and tactical gear for Ukrainian civilians.

But many efforts have been snarled by the complex regulations governing the international shipment of such equipment.

Runtime: 1:36
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: A test image from NASA's Webb Space Telescope shows a spiky star, but the real stars of the show were thousands of ancient galaxies photo-bombing in the background.

NASA's photo release isn't about what in the picture, but just that the new $10 billion telescope is working perfectly, even better than officials expected.

This photo is a test image to make sure the system is working and it is.

Scientists say 18 different hexagonal mirrors had to fit just right in place.And they did. And all this is happening 1 million miles away from Earth.

Zelenskyy to Congress: 'We need you right now'

Title: Zelenskyy to Congress: 'We need you right now'
Runtime: 2:58
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cited Pearl Harbor and the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 on Wednesday as he appealed to the U.S. Congress to do more to help Ukraine's fight against Russia, but acknowledged the no-fly zone he has sought to "close the sky" over his country may not happen.

Livestreamed into the Capitol complex, Zelenskyy said the U.S. must sanction Russian lawmakers and block imports, and he showed a packed auditorium of lawmakers an emotional video of the destruction and devastation his country has suffered in the war.

"We need you right now," Zelenskyy said, adding, "I call on you to do more."
Lawmakers gave him a standing ovation, before and after his short remarks, which Zelenskyy began in Ukrainian through an interpreter but then switched to English in a heartfelt appeal to help end the bloodshed.

Nearing the three-week mark in an ever-escalating war, Zelenskyy is using the world's leading legislative bodies as ...

Title: He got COVID. And then had a heart attack.
Runtime: 5:20
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Juan Sosa was doing pushups in the bedroom where he had isolated himself for almost two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. His mild symptoms were long gone and it was the final day of the vaccinated man’s quarantine.

He had never had heart issues before. The pain was severe and “heavy,.” he said. He drove himself to a walk-in clinic on E Brandon Boulevard.

Doctors quickly determined Sosa, 58, was having a heart attack. An ambulance rushed him to HCA Florida Brandon Hospital. The last thing he remembers that day is a nurse cutting open his T-shirt.

Scientists now believe that COVID-19 patients suffer more than respiratory issues. Several studies have revealed that the virus can also damage the heart, and it is even more of a threat to those who have a heart condition.

US inflation up 7.9%, a fresh 40-year high

Title: US inflation up 7.9%, a fresh 40-year high
Runtime: 1:42
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Propelled by surging costs for gas, food and housing, consumer inflation jumped 7.9% over the past year, the sharpest spike since 1982 and likely only a harbinger of even higher prices to come.

The increase reported Thursday by the Labor Department reflected the 12 months ending in February and didn't include most of the oil and gas price increases that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. Since then, average gas prices nationally have jumped about 62 cents a gallon to $4.32, according to AAA.

Description: A hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court has given survivors of opioid addiction and people who lost loved ones to the crisis the chance to confront members of the family behind OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma.

They blamed the Sackler family members for helping fuel the epidemic through marketing of Purdue's signature painkiller OxyContin and for failing to take responsibility for their role.

Three Sackler family members attended Thursday's virtual hearing. They were Richard, Theresa and David Sackler. Under court rules, they could not respond and had to sit silently while roughly two dozen people gave emotional statements.

Ukrainians escape via humanitarian corridor

Title: Ukrainians escape via humanitarian corridor
Runtime: 1:47
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Around 700 Ukrainians fleeing the Russian-captured town of Vorzel and part of Irpin were able to escape through a humanitarian corridor Wednesday.

The ceasefire announced on March 9 ran from 9 am (0700 GMT) to 9 pm (1900 GMT), designed to allow evacuees to flee from five towns on the outskirts of Kyiv.

People from three towns among those announced, Bucha, Hostomel and Borodianka, were not evacuated.

Speaking to The Associated Press as they travelled in refugee caravans, several spoke of Russian agression towards both soldiers and civilians.

Vorzel resident Yurii Bushinskii, 53, told the AP that he had stayed for 14 days in a shelter, and had experienced three people killed by Russians in the same shelter.

"They shot people with an automatic gun. They threw a stun granade and first three people who tried to escape were shot," he said.

Politics in play amid high gas prices, Ukraine war

Title: Politics in play amid high gas prices, Ukraine war
Runtime: 2:53
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: By banning U.S. imports of Russian oil and natural gas, President Joe Biden is betting that punishing Vladimir Putin's country for the war in Ukraine is worth the political hit he'll take at home, where gas prices have already shattered records and are likely to climb even higher.

The move means scrapping an energy source that provided 700,000 barrels of crude oil and refined petroleum products per day last year, and one which Biden said would "inflict further pain on Putin. But there will be cost as well here in the United States."

Biden's calculation comes as politics for Republicans may also prove tricky and far from as clear cut as other policy clashes — when its easy for the party out of power to simply fan the flames of criticism against Democrats who control the White House and Congress.

Top Republicans are simultaneously cheering the move to further punish Russia's economy while bashing Biden for prices at the pump, which were already hi...

Runtime: 1:57
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Daryna Voloshyn rolled dough on her kitchen countertop and cut it into cylinder shapes.

She filled each one with potato, cheese or a combination of of the two before folding them into the Slavic dumpling known as a pierogi. She’d make about 2,000 savory treats by the end of the day. Normally, she’d make that much in a week.

Orders have been streaming in constantly since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, as the St. Petersburg community wanted to show support, said Voloshyn, the 28-year-old owner of Pierogi Bar.

Pierogi Bar is a cottage kitchen, meaning it operates out of a home. There are strict rules about selling food from a home kitchen in Florida. The health department says a home kitchen cannot use meat, delivering food must be in-person only (not through a service like UberEats) or have any freezer stock. But Voloshyn said she doesn’t mind the inconveniences.

“Everything is made from scratch,” Voloshyn said. “It’...

Title: UNHCR: One million flee Ukraine in under a week
Runtime: 1:27
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: The U.N. refugee agency said Thursday that one million people have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion, an exodus without precedent in this century for its speed.

The UNHCR has predicted up to four million people could eventually leave Ukraine but cautioned even that projection could be revised upward.

Refugees were gathered at Zahony railway station in Hungary near the border with Ukraine on Thursday, as fighting continued a week after the Russian invasion.

Others continued to arrive in Romania via the Siret border crossing, as well as in neighboring Poland and Moldova.

The UNHCR tally was based on counts collected by national authorities.

"Hour by hour, minute by minute more people are fleeing the terrifying reality of violence. Countless have been displaced inside the country," Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said.

"And unless there is an immediate end to the conflict, millions mor...

Description: In village streets, city basements and train stations, the faces of Ukrainians reflected the steep emotional toll a week into Russian's invasion of their country.

Meanwhile, overseas relatives of the sheltered Ukrainians struggle with overwhelming fear and guilt as they try to connect via text messages and other electronic means.

Hanna Tverdokhlib, 37, a Ukrainian immigrant living near Los Angeles spends her days sending text messages to dozens of sheltered family and friends, checking on their welfare.

"I'm trying to stay connected with my relatives," said Tverdokhlib. "It's painful to be with such a big fear about their life."

She tries to stay calm when her texts aren't immediately returned. But the psychological toll and tears that follow are bearing on her.

"What can we say? You know, we feel even some, some shame, like we are safe here," Tverdokhlib explained from her apartment in Long Beach, California. "We are saf...

Biden speech focuses on War in Ukraine, inflation

Title: Biden speech focuses on War in Ukraine, inflation
Runtime: 2:59
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Addressing a concerned nation and anxious world, President #JoeBiden vowed in his first #StateoftheUnion address Tuesday night to check Russian aggression in #Ukraine, tame soaring U.S. #inflation and deal with the fading but still dangerous coronavirus.

Biden's speech — split between attention to war abroad and considerable domestic worries — reflected the same balancing act he now faces in his presidency. He must marshal allied resolve against Russia's aggression while tending to inflation, COVID-19 fatigue and sagging approval ratings heading into the midterm elections.

Biden highlighted the bravery of Ukrainian defenders and the commitment of a newly reinvigorated Western alliance that has worked to rearm the Ukrainian military and cripple Russia's economy through sanctions. He warned of costs to the American economy, as well, but warned ominously that without consequences, Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression wouldn't be contained to Ukraine....

Description: A U.N. official said that by Monday over half a million refugees had fled Ukraine into the European Union, most of them arriving in Poland, Hungary and Romania.

Many say that their men have stayed behind to fight. Others speak of the terror they felt at experiencing shelling in the cities and towns they left.

Some 2,000 refugees from Ukraine arrived Monday evening in Przemysl, a Polish border town where volunteers waited to help those fleeing war.

While many arrive by train, long lines of cars and buses have also backed checkpoints at the borders of Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and non-EU member Moldova.

Others crossed the borders on foot, dragging their possessions away from the war and into the security of the EU.

A U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman said Monday the latest counts by country stood at roughly 281,000 to Poland, 84,500 to Hungary, 36,400 to Moldova, 32,500 to Romania and 30,000 to Slovakia.

Title: Ukraine and Russia to hold talks Monday
Runtime: 1:28
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Video from Russian news agency RIA Novosti showed the arrival of a Ukrainian delegation for talks with Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine has agreed to talks with Moscow, but it's unclear whether they'll lead to any breakthrough.

Outgunned but determined Ukrainian troops slowed Russia’s advance and held onto the capital and other key cities - at least for now. In the face of stiff resistance and devastating sanctions, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear forces put on high alert, threatening to elevate the war to a terrifying new level.

Explosions and gunfire that have disrupted life since the invasion began last week appeared to subside around Kyiv overnight, as Ukrainian and Russian delegations prepared to meet Monday on Ukraine’s border with Belarus. It's unclear what, if anything, those talks would yield.

Terrified Ukrainian families huddled in shelters, basements or corridors, waiting to find out. Exact deat...

Russia presses invasion to Kyiv outskirts

Title: Russia presses invasion to Kyiv outskirts
Runtime: 1:16
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Russia pressed its invasion of Ukraine to the outskirts of the capital Friday after unleashing airstrikes on cities and military bases and sending in troops and tanks from three sides in an attack that could rewrite the global post-Cold War security order.

Explosions sounded before dawn in Kyiv and gunfire was reported in several areas, as Western leaders scheduled an emergency meeting and Ukraine's president pleaded for international help to fend off an attack that could topple his democratically elected government, cause massive casualties and ripple out damage to the global economy.

Among the signs that the Ukrainian capital was increasingly threatened, the military said Friday that a group of Russian spies and saboteurs was seen in a district on the outskirts of Kyiv, and police told people not to exit a subway station in the city centre because there was gunfire in the area.

Elsewhere in the capital, soldiers established defensive positions a...

West promises massive sanctions for Russian attack

Title: West promises massive sanctions for Russian attack
Runtime: 1:39
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: World leaders Thursday reacted to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with raw outrage — and vows of unprecedented sanctions — that shrouded a sense of powerlessness to defend Ukraine militarily without running the risk of a wider war in Europe.

NATO had already reinforced its eastern flank facing Russia and planned a virtual summit of its leaders on Friday after President Vladimir Putin warned that any interference from other countries would lead to "consequences you have never seen in history."

European Union and NATO member Lithuania declared a state of emergency since the Baltic nation borders Russia's Kaliningrad region to the southwest and Russia's ally Belarus to the east.

NATO countries had 100 jets and 120 ships on high alert as a deterrent.

But no one promised to move in militarily and defend Ukraine at the risk of touching off a bigger European war. Ukraine is not a NATO member, and the U.S. and its Western allies have said fo...

Anxiety, tension rise on Ukrainian frontline

Title: Anxiety, tension rise on Ukrainian frontline
Runtime: 3:00
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: As anxiety and tensions rise between Ukraine and Russia-backed separatists, a Ukrainian serviceman says Ukrainian forces are not allowed to open fire amid fears of an invasion from the Russian Federation.

As Zahar Leshushun observes enemy lines, a shell explodes nearby.

"We are not allowed to respond (to the enemy fire). So it doesn't provoke the enemy. Because anything can happen," said Leshushun, a 23-year-old Ukrainian marketing specialist serving in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia-backed separatists.

"Our commanders don't allow it and we are following orders even if there is a wish to respond," he said. "Because the enemy is waiting for us to shoot back. But if there is no political agreement, things will get resolved with military power."

Ukraine faces a sharp spike in violence in and around territory held by Russia-backed rebels and increasingly dire warnings that Russia plans to invade.

Dozens of National Guard Army and Air Force troops in New Mexico have been stepping in for an emergency unlike others they have responded to before: the shortage of teachers and school staff members that have tested the ability of schools nationwide to continue operating during the coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. could see deep sea rise over next 30 years

Title: U.S. could see deep sea rise over next 30 years
Runtime: 1:08
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: America's coastline will see sea levels rise in the next 30 years by as much as they did in the entire 20th century, with major Eastern cities hit regularly with costly floods even on sunny days, a government report warns.

By 2050, seas lapping against the U.S. shore will be 10 to 12 inches (0.25 to 0.3 meters) higher, with parts of Louisiana and Texas projected to see waters a foot and a half (0.45 meters) higher, according to a 111-page report issued Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and six other federal agencies.

"What we don't want our folks to come away and not realize that change is at hand," said William Sweet, NOAA oceanographer.

The projected increase is especially alarming given that in the 20th century, seas along the Atlantic coast rose at the fastest clip in 2,000 years.

Experts warned the cost will be high, pointing out that much of the American economy and 40% of the population are along t...
