  美國俄勒岡州對立8人被捕宣布停止 加州帕西菲卡遭受天然損壞面對坍塌傷害

  

  Hey, I'm Carl Azuz with CNN STUDENT NEWS-yoursource for current events, fun features andpuzzling puns.

  You're going to see why in a few minutes.

  First up, though, we're updating on a standoff at aU.S. state of Oregon.

  On our January 8th show, which you can find in thearchive of our website, we reported on a man named Ammon Bundy, and a group of armedprotesters who took over an unoccupied federal building in rural southeast Oregon.

  Some of the demonstrators are still there.

  But yesterday, eight people connected to the standoff were arrested, including protest leaderAmmon Bundy and four others at a traffic stop.

  That's also where a demonstrator identified as LaVoy Finicum was shot and killed.

  Law enforcement officials say it's not clear who fired first, police or the protesters.

  The demonstrators say Finicum had his hands in the air when he was shot.

  A local sheriff says the death didn't have to happen and he called for the occupiers of thefederal building to leave.

  The demonstrators say that's something they will not do.

  We're moving one state to the south now, in the city of Pacifica, California.

  There's a state of emergency, and this is why.

  It almost looks like a scale model of a dangerous cliff side.

  Because it's real, officials have asked residents of homes and apartment complexes to get out.

  The rapid erosion of the coast has been blamed on storms caused by El Nino.

  The backyards of some properties have already been washed out to sea.

  But even though city officials have labeled the properties unsafe and ordered residents to leave,some people say they're not going anywhere.

  They don't think the danger is imminent.

  It's not the first time homes in this area have been evacuated.

  Storms have been eroding these cliffs for years.

  Officials say relief organizations like the Red Cross have been contacted to help support thosewho've had to abandon their homes.

  Northeastern U.S. is where we're starting today's call of the roll.

  From Hancock, Maine, please welcome the Hornets.

  Hancock Grammar School gets things going today.

  From Bridgeport, Connecticut, we've got some Presidents watching.

  They're presiding over Warren Harding High School.

  And from the capital of South Korea, that's Seoul.

  Please welcome our viewers from Whimoon High School.

  Great to have you watching.

  Ellis Island is in Upper New York Bay.

  It's only about 27 acres in size.

  For a while, it was used for landfill.

  In the early 1800s, it was a fort.

  At one point, it was a detention center for people suspected of supporting U.S. enemies.

  But it's most famous as a gateway to America.

  For millions of immigrants, from the 1890s through the 1950s, Ellis Island was where they wereidentified, recorded and given permission to enter the U.S.

  Part of that process included physical exams and there's a lesser known area of Ellis Island thathoused the sick.

  Inside Ellis Island's hidden hospitals.

  If I go down this hallway, I'll be going to the hospital built to restore the health of peoplesuffering from minor injuries, broken bones, goiters, even babies were born in that building.

  These immigrants were expected to do physically demanding work and if found that you didn'thave the physique or the capacity to do that kind of work, they possibly deport you.

  Down in this hallway, though, you're going to go to the contagious and infectious diseasehospital for diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, tuberculosis, trachoma.

  Hopefully, I survive it and then I can return to the immigration process.

  You're going to see some barbaric treatments that would be medical treatments of the day.

  For the most part though, this is the first time a third class patient would ever see the inside ofthe hospital.

  Each pavilion is the same.

  It's going to be very large open room in the back where patients are going to be.

  It's far from the hallway as possible.

  There would have been 14 beds in the room.

  Each bed positioned between each of the windows.

  There were private rooms, but if you had private room, you're likely to be psychotic or youperhaps had tuberculosis.

  These are the isolation wards of Ellis Island.

  The people here are going to be suffering from serious diseases, maybe multiple diseases.

  It's one of the cruel ironies of this room is the better view, you have the statue.

  The least likely you're going to survive your disease or get into the United States.
