What Is A Bomb Cyclone? | November 21, 2024
Today on CNN 10, we head to Hong Kong, where 45 people were sentenced to prison for violating a new national security law put in place by China after anti-government protests took over the city in 2019. Then we head to the western United States and British Columbia which is getting pummeled by two combined weather phenomena, bringing hurricane force winds and heavy rain to the region. Then to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where a hydroelectric dam is being blocked by garbage and leading to power outages across the area. Lastly, we get a look at a record-breaking rocket launch made by students at the University of Southern California. Check out all this and more on today’s CNN 10!
