We love that you're taking 10 minutes for our show. 3

I'm Carla Zeus at the CNN Center. 4

We have a Valentine's related report coming up. 5

We're gonna start across the Pacific because two weeks from right now, the leaders of the United States and North Korea will be holding their second ever summit the first time they met. 6

It was the first time that sitting leaders from these two countries ever came. 7

Face to face was last summer in the Asian island country of Singapore. 8

On February 27th and 28 U. 9

S President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Yun will sit down in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, to discuss their priorities for a possible peace agreement. 10

Their nations have been rivals since fighting stopped in the Korean War in 1953. 11

More than 65 years later, the US is pushing for North Korea to completely give rid of its nuclear program and to stop trying to develop nuclear weapons. 12

North Korea is pushing the U. 13

S to remove its sanctions its penalties on North Korea's economy and promised that America won't attack the Asian country, analysts say the results of their last meeting are a mixed bag. 14

It was a foreign policy success for President Trump and leader Kim, and military officials say that tensions have calmed down on the border that joins North Korea and South Korea, a U. 15

S. 16

Ally. 17

On the other hand, analysts say, there haven't been lasting concrete results from their first summit, and the North Korea's military is still a risk to South Korea, the U. 18

S and their allies. 19

A sobering assessment of U. 20

S Forces Korea General Robert Abrams. 21

He's sitting there in South Korea watching the Korean People's Army conduct their winter training exercises, he says. 22

They're the same size scope and at the same time, the North Korea's done it over the last four years, even during the height of tensions, Meanwhile, U S South Korea joint drills have been significantly scaled back or suspended on orders from President Trump. 23

Obviously, the concern here, you know, as U. 24

S. 25

Soldiers rotate out of South Korea and new soldiers come in, but they don't have that joint training over time. 26

The U. 27

S. 28

And South Korean militaries are less and less prepared to counter any potential action by North Korea. 29

Now speaking of that, about two weeks from now, President Trump and Kim Jong un will be meeting in Hanoi for the second time, and my colleague in D. 30

C. 31

Kylie Atwood is learning from her sources. 32

The U. 33

S negotiators are asking North Korea for a list of nuclear scientists. 34

They know a lot about the nuclear program from spy satellites, but they don't really know about the people behind it. 35

Even if North Korea does eventually get rid of nuclear weapons, which U S intelligence officials have said is unlikely to completely happen, North Korea will still always have the knowledge. 36

And analysts like Adam Mount do say, though with realistic expectations. 37

This diplomacy does have the potential to make the world safer. 38

Kim Jong un has substantially slowed progress of his nuclear and missile advancements in order to hold this dialogue. 39

At the same time, it's clear that sanctions pressure has slipped. 40

It seems clear that there's a deal that could still be on the table here. 41

It may not be the deal that John Bolton and Donald Trump want. 42

Diplomacy has already greatly reduce the North Korean threat, according to a new report from Stanford University in the US He's co authored by Siegfried Hecker, who's a former director of the Los Alamos weapons lab in the United States. 43

And, he says, basically because North Korea has not conducted a ballistic missile or nuclear test in more than a year, the program is far less dangerous now than it waas a year ago, for example, and even though he says satellite imagery shows that North Korea is continuing to produce bomb fuel, possibly enough for up to seven additional bombs during this period of diplomacy Unless, uh, you know this still, because they're not testing the weapons, it is a safer situation today than it. 44

Waas Will Ripley, CNN Hong Kong 12th Trivia. 45

What is a Kona low? 46

Is it a type of coffee, a weather system surfing trick or a Hawaiian region? 47

While Kona is a part of Hawaii's Big Island, Akona Low is a weather event that often brings cooler weather to the islands. 48

Rain and gusty winds are also part of a Kona low, and the island state was recently hit with a big one. 49

Check this out. 50

What he wants you to check out is exactly what it looks like snow at fully Police State Park on the island of Maui. 51

Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resource is says this might be the first time ever that snow has fallen in the Hawaii State Park. 52

It's common at the tops of the state's volcanoes, but not at all. 53

Common at elevations is Lois 6200 feet. 54

But there's a lot more to this Kona low. 55

As it approached the island's last weekend, the mayor of Hawaii County tweeted that every beach park and every state park would be closed, and as the system moved away from the state earlier this week, it left behind broken trees, power lines and traffic lights. 56

At one point, tens of thousands of Hawaiians were without electricity. 57

At the summit of Monica, a dormant volcano on the Big Island, wind gusts of 191 miles per hour were recorded. 58

That's the same wind speed of a very powerful hurricane. 59

As you might expect, the system brought some high and dangerous surf in northwest Maui, Hawaii News now says a man from California was killed after he got stuck in rough ocean conditions. 60

Some waves near the islands measured 60 feet, and there was coastal flooding on Oahu's North Shore. 61

The National Weather Service expected Maur cool rainy weather on Thursday. 62

That also happens to be ST Valentine's Day, a holiday probably named for a Christian religious leader who lived in the third century though its history's been debated. 63

One thing that isn't is that American spend money on the holiday. 64

In fact, an annual survey released by the National Retail Federation, the U. 65

S trade association, indicates that Americans plan to spend more than $20 billion this year. 66

That works out to about 100 and $62 for every person who plans to celebrate. 67

And that's despite the fact that the survey says fewer Americans are celebrating the holiday. 68

It's down to 51% this year from a high of 63% 12 years ago. 69

The N R F doesn't know why fewer people are celebrating, but for those who do, greeting cards are a big seller. 70

They account for more than $900 million of spending. 71

That tradition dates back decades, with sweetheart spending sweet sentiments inside No to Valentine's will be exactly a line, but they all share similar routes. 72

Hallmark cards. 73

Archivist Samantha Brad Beer says their company, Valentine's date back more than 100 years. 74

Postcards Early is 1910 cards, with the traditional old 1916. 75

Also in their collection, Valentine's freed a hallmark back to the 19th century. 76

These air all antique Victorian Ballantine's. 77

Designed by Ester Holland. 78

She was the daughter of a well known bookstore and stationery store owner out of Massachusetts, and she received her first lace Ballantine in 18 47 as printed in England. 79

And she thought she could make something very similar pollens and made Valentine's bear a lot of the same icons of today's cards. 80

Heart San, of course. 81

Cubit, who has long been a natural fit for the holiday. 82

Cupid is sort of the junior partner of Venus in Rome, or Aphrodite E. 83

In Greece, where he would be known as a Rose, and he is often depicted as this kind of playful, mischievous character. 84

Playful, mischievous, serious and silly. 85

Each valentine is a collaboration, like the one between designers like Kelly Bloxham and writers like Renee Daniels that produced this Hallmark card. 86

We're taking kind of puns and using them on Valentine's Day cards, so Renee gave us the awesome writing. 87

And then I took it, and we kind of wanted to give it a more casual design feel. 88

And I worked about putting dimension on it and using the whole heartbeat as a reference prevailing kind. 89

See on. 90

While Ester Holland had to round up her friends to help mass produce her handmade cards, today's card companies get a little more help. 91

During Valentine's Day week and Hallmark headquarters artists were already at work on Valentine's Day 2019. 92

Knowing their cards may leave a lasting impression in Kansas City, Missouri. 93

I'm Karen Kafer. 94

Black Panther rates a 10 out of 10. 95

In this case, we don't mean the movie animals that was recently caught on camera in the African country of Kenya. 96

It's also known as a black leopard, and there hasn't been a confirmed sighting of these cats on the African continent since 1909 Most of them live in Southeast Asia, a zoologist says. 97

Now they've been caught on camera. 98

There'd be a lot of value in protecting them in Kenya, assuming the animals left part of the efforts. 99

Then they might think, posing for more pictures of pandering. 100

But they are some cool cats. 101

So you can't blame the researchers who spotted them from our ring with excitement for CNN. 102

10. 103
