Ukraine has seen a lot of changes in a short amount of time. It's divided some Ukrainians want closer ties with the European Union. Some like its ousted1 president want closer ties with Russia. Ukraine's parliament voted out president Viktor Yanukovych last weekend after violent protests in the capital. He's taken a refuge in Russia. Yesterday parliament voted on a temporary government to hold things together until elections in May, but then there is ?. It's a region of southern Ukraine where many people support the ousted president and want closer ties with Russia. Protesters there stormed the government building and raised the Russian flag yesterday, and Russia has started military exercise near its boarder with Ukraine. A Russian official says these were previously2 scheduled and not related the Ukraine's unrest.
Ice jam! And I almost sense that something you wanna see. You don't if you live anywhere near one. It has been a
brutally3 cold winer for the northern US. Some references in the region have frozen, then melted, then re-frozen in crusted over with large thick
chunks4 of crushed ice. In a ? river in Illinois, ice jams stretch for miles. Some people who live nearby are leaving their homes. One reason-how ice jams can affect areas near a river. Say there is a bridge with supports in the water. Drifting chunks of ice can get caught near them,
clogging5 up the flow of water, forming a dam. The water needs somewhere to go, so it floods the river banks, and that may not be the worst thing that can happen.
Everyone were talking to who lives around here says he's never seen this river looking like this. During the summer, this is a very popular place to go boating, but right now, it looks like a
glacier6 landscape in Alaska.
For the water looks to be still for nothing is moving, and I think that's a good thing, but in fact the re-still water piling up
underneath7, making the pressure high, so all a sudden, this is going to break free, break through, and you can see big pieces of ice in the people's homes. You can see their ice dam up and the flooding go around it.
This is what it looks like when a ice jam finally breaks.
Suddenly the entire river started moving extremely fast like a free train.
This was Ohio's Rocky River last week.
You know this nutrition label in the size of food you buy in the store. They've been around since the1990s. Now the US government wants to make changes to them. It is what the old label looks like. This servings calories, fat, vitamins. The Food and Drug Administration wants big bold labels for total calories and wants to change some dietary guidelines for things like
sodium8 and vitamins. It's hoping this all help Americans make healthy choices, but the changes could cost the food industry 2 billion dollars to
implement9. That could mean higher prices. In a listed serving sizes could be hired, too.
Keep the best way to put this, you know, maybe this would be 4 servings in the past, and they say, look, what does a typical person really eat . Let's get that information. Maybe this is more like 2 servings now, and I'll say that you will see the nutrition information for 2 servings. Or if you gonna eat something likely in one single sitting, I don't know, could you eat this in a single sitting, but they are gonna say, look, OK, we know this is typically considered 4 servings, but we know it's likely people eat this in a single serving, so let's put that information on ?.
So that will be more ? to total say something like 10 chips equal this amount of calories that has this much fat.
And I'll say that ? also say if you eat this whole bag. Here's what you gonna get, so you don't ? do the math. It will make you think a little bit more maybe if you, you know, keep eating.
