Kicking off Friday's edition of CNN 10, I'm Carl Azuz,
it's good to see you. Starting in the US, we've been
covering a lot of news surrounding the issue of
immigration. Yesterday there were marches in
Washington DC and cities nationwide, in an event
called, A Day Without Immigrants. It was loosely
organized through social media and word of mouth, its
goal to show the importance of immigrants to American
society. It came after news reports throughout the
week that officials with ICE, an acronym for Immigration
and Customs Enforcement, had arrested hundreds of
people who are in the US illegally and started the
process of removing them from the country. President
Donald Trump signed an executive order on January
25th that prioritizes undocumented immigrants who've
been convicted of a crime, accused of a crime, or who
could be charged with a crime for deportation. Critics
are concerned that a wide range of illegal immigrants
could be targeted. Immigration officials say the recent
arrests were routine, and that they were planned
during the Obama administration. For perspective,
there were more deportations under President Obama
than any previous US leader. No one knows yet how
President Trump's policies will play out. [ SOUND ]
>> The detentions over the last week are in the
hundreds, and have been across the country,
especially in states with higher concentrations of
immigrants. In California alone officials say they
detained 160 individuals, according to authorities 150
of the detainees had criminal histories and the rest
were in deportation proceedings for other reasons.
Activists say that the raids have terrorized the
immigrant populations and have caused widespread
fear in these and other states, but Homeland Security
Secretary, John Kelly, says, the raids are in compliance
with the law and not just random operations.
>> First of all, they're not rounding anyone up. The
people that ICE apprehend
are people who are illegal and then
some, ICE is executing the law.
>> A labor union representing a school district in
Texas has published a flyer that tells immigrants what
to do in case immigration authorities come knocking on
their doors. A Union spokeswoman calls the raids a
crisis and says providing this information is important
to students and parents at the school district, a local
official reacted with indignation to the raids.
>> We have heard of several confirmed ICE actions
in Austin. We are here to denounce those actions and
to let the community know that we have their backs.
>> Immigration and Customs Enforcement published a
statement about the raid, saying the following, the rash
of recent reports about purported ICE checkpoints and
random sweeps are false, dangerous, and
irresponsible. These reports create panic and put
communities and law enforcement personnel in
unnecessary danger. Individuals who falsely report
such activities are doing a disservice to those they
claim to support. President Donald Trump made
tracking down on illegal immigration a central focus of
his Presidential campaign. Rafael Romo, CNN, Atlanta.

>> Up next, other countries called it illegal,
intolerable, the US wants North Korea to be punished
for it, but was the communist country's recent missile
test a birthday present? A North Korean government
source said the launch was the best possible gift for
Generalissimo Kim Jong- il on his 75th birthday. Kim
Jong- il, on the left here, is North Korea's former
dictator, he died in 2011. As we reported earlier this
week, the missile launch coincided with a meeting of
the Japanese and American leaders, their countries are
rivals of North Korea, and analysts said the launch was
intended to be a warning to them. But in the North
Korean capital, Pyongyang, a two- day national holiday
is wrapping up, it celebrates what would have been
Kim's 75th year, concerts, fireworks, military displays,
all part of it. CNN's Will Ripley got the chance to visit
the area. [ SOUND ]
>> That is our Air Koryo plane, that will take us to
Pyongyang. [ MUSIC ]
Hello from Kim Il- sung Square here in Pyongyang,
North Korea. This is where they often have those huge
choreographed mass displays, and also military
parades pass by here, around the square you find a
mixture of government offices and museums. That's
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more portraits of the
leaders, some apartments behind there, more
government offices here, and then, this is one of the
museums along the square. What's striking about Kim
Il- sung Square and you see this in other communist
countries as well, with these large public spaces that
loom over the individual, and make the individual feel
small, and the society feel huge. [ MUSIC ] This
massive building right here is called the Grand
People's Study House, and in front of it is where the
North Korean leader, Kim Jong- un stands when he
gives speeches, that's the portrait of his grandfather,
Kim Il- sung, and his father, Kim Jong- il. [ MUSIC ] You
can see these huge crowds of people coming to pay
their respects at what is considered one of the most
holy sites in all of North Korea, this is the monument to
the two late leaders, Kim Il- sung to the left, and Kim
Jong- il to the right. It's remarkable to see these waves
of people who are coming here, all of them carrying
flowers, all of them to pay their respects to the
late leaders on this national holiday, what would have
been the 75th birthday of Kim Jung- un. I see more
and more taxis on the streets here in Pyongyang, more
traffic in general really. This is one of the hotels that
we stay at quite often, and it's actually on an island
separate from the rest of Pyongyang, so the tourists
won't walk around in the city. [ MUSIC ]
>> 10 Second Trivia. What color belt is associated
with a beginner in martial arts? Yellow, white, red, or
green? [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] [ SOUND ]
People learning martial arts usually begin with a white
belt, which is said to signify birth. [ SOUND ]
Okay, building confidence, improving focus and
coordination, getting in shape, learning self- defense,
these are benefits you'll see advertised at practically
any martial arts studio. What makes Breaking Barriers
Martial Arts different isn't just the skills it helps its
students develop, but the students it helps develop
those skills. [ SOUND ]
>> All right, just to get warmed up, everyone start
bouncing.
>> Even though they have disabilities, it doesn't mean
that they can't do what we can do. I'm Katarina
Exsteinshubin, and I'm the head instructor at Breaking
Barriers Martial Arts. Breaking Barriers teaches
children with all types of abilities, so we have down
syndrome, muscular dystrophy, autism, ADHD, it's just
really fun to see them coming out of their shells and
really being comfortable in who they are, and knowing
that being different's okay.
>> [ APPLAUSE ]
>> I have two younger brothers, David and Kenny,
and they were both diagnosed with autism at a young
age. It was really hard to find something for my
brothers to be involved in, so it was really neat when
we joined taekwondo, we were able to do it as a
family, I felt like the environment was just so much
more understanding.
>> Most importantly, I think the heart of taekwondo is
basically how to become a better person.
>> I started this program, I had no idea it was going
to be anything more than just a Saturday class that was
going to be fun for kids to just come and play and
learn martial arts, but it's made an impact on these
kids.
>> It feels good to know that we are helping other
families that are like us.
>> He has just blossomed through this program. I
admit, as a parent, it's the most
incredible feeling. [ SOUND ]
>> [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ]
>> At a Canadian Recycling Depot workers taking
apart old TVs expect to find capacitors, resistors,
capital raid tubes, but in one older set, an employee
recently came across a cash box, and inside was more
than $ 100, 000. There were also bank documents
that helped police find the owner, he'd been saving the
money for his family, but forgot about it, passed the
TV on to a friend, and that friend recycled it. The
money's been returned to its owner, makes for one
serious cash back promotion, ya'll, someone could've
hidden the cash behind the scenes in a made for TV
heist that would've been a turnoff to many viewers.
Thankfully, the depot has a great screening program,
a reality show that promotes honest TV. Fridays are
awesome on CNN 10, we hope your weekend is too.
I'm Carl Azuz. [ MUSIC ]
