[00:10.43]The week is rolling along.
[00:12.87]I'm Carl Azuz, welcoming you to Wednesday's edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS.
[00:16.63]Our first story centers on a detention facility, a prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
[00:22.53]It's operated by the United States.
[00:24.26]It's part of the U.S. naval base on land that America has leased from Cuba since 1903.
[00:29.78]To start, we're covering the plan.
[00:32.24]Yesterday, President Obama called for the detention facility at Guantanamo to be closed.
[00:38.46]The U.S. government has identified 13 potential places where officials can transfer the remaining prisoners.
[00:44.75]There are about 91 of them there.
[00:46.42]But no specific location was proposed.
[00:49.29]This isn't the first time the president has pushed for Guantanamo's closure.
[00:53.29]When President Obama was elected in 2008, he vowed that he will close Guantanamo Bay within a year.
[00:59.65]BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: There we go.
[01:00.27]KAYYEM: Seven years later, that has not happened.
[01:02.45]SUBTITLE: Closing Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
[01:07.90]KAYYEM: Let's start from the beginning.
[01:08.45]The Guantanamo facility was rented from the Cubans
[01:09.86]and was normally used as sort of a naval and coast guard base for the United States.
[01:14.31]When we went to war against Afghanistan in 2002,
[01:17.61]soldiers were picking up what we're called men who were unlawful combatants,
[01:22.33]who were picked up on the battlefield.
[01:24.26]And they were sent to Guantanamo in a sort of a hastily arranged agreement
[01:28.56]so that they might be processed while there.
[01:30.73]Well, they weren't processed.
[01:32.07]They stayed there, over the course of the war on terror.
[01:35.40]Close to a thousand men have been detained at Guantanamo Bay.
[01:38.97](END VIDEOTAPE)
[01:39.60]AZUZ: Now the debate.
[01:41.67]The Obama administration says closing the detention center
[01:44.98]and transferring the enemy combatants
[01:46.97]held there would save the U.S. tens of millions of dollars per year.
[01:50.96]There have been accusations that some of the prisoners at Gitmo
[01:54.40]had been tortured or mistreated,
[01:55.67] that the facility is a dangerous symbol, being used abroad to recruit terrorists.
[02:01.19]And President Obama says keeping the facility opened is contrary to American values.
[02:07.17]But the administration says it needs congressional approval to shut it down
[02:11.00]and Republicans and some Democrats have said they're concerned
[02:14.60] that moving the prisoners to U.S. soil would threaten national security.
[02:19.48]House Speaker Paul Ryan says moving suspected terrorists to the U.S. is illegal.
[02:24.18]And American intelligence suspects that dozens of the men
[02:27.36]who've already been transferred out of Guantanamo have returned to terrorism.
[02:32.02]Next to India.
[02:34.26]Almost 80 percent of people there are Hindu,
[02:36.85]and the controversial caste system used to determine the advantages
[02:41.12] and disadvantages that different castes or classes would have.
[02:44.90]That was abolished 67 years ago.
[02:47.51]And India has implemented programs to give those ones
[02:50.77] considered members of lower caste advantages and getting jobs and admissions.
[02:55.55]But it's relatively well-off group that recently protested,
[02:59.00]blocking highways, burning buildings and looting.
[03:02.07]They say reverse discrimination has put them in a disadvantage.
[03:05.79]And though they reached an agreement with the government
[03:08.50]that ended the protests after 16 people died,
[03:11.76]the demonstrations disrupted a water station that supplied part of New Delhi.
[03:16.44](BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
[03:17.00]SUMNIMA UDAS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We're at one of 150 water tanker filling stations in New Delhi.
[03:21.10]Since the crisis begun, they've been operating all day,
[03:24.45] every five to seven minutes or so of water tanker truck like this one has been arriving.
[03:29.15]They've been filling it up and going to neighborhoods nearby in the northwest of Delhi.
[03:35.11]This one is headed to a colony around the corner and we're going to go along and see what happens.
[03:38.65](voice-over): "We're going to block C4G.
[03:48.01]We've been getting calls all day for water," he says.
[03:51.41]As soon as the water tanker arrives,
[03:54.05]residents emerged from what seems like nowhere, one after another.
[03:59.50](on camera): Words have spread that the water tanker has arrived.
[04:03.18]So, we've seen people coming from all over the neighborhood with their buckets,
[04:06.76]containers like these, even kettles,
[04:09.19]basically whatever container they have, to fill up as much water they can.
[04:14.78]They haven't received any water here for the past three days
[04:17.37]and this is the first time the water tanker has arrived.
[04:19.67](voice-over): They jostle for space.
[04:23.09]They argue, as one after the other, to wait on line.
[04:27.29]The other shouts back, "Don't take more than two buckets.
[04:30.51]Share!'
[04:31.54]"We can live without a shower, but what about cooking or cleaning our utensils?
[04:35.80]What about flushing our toilets? It's become so difficult nowadays,
[04:40.09]every morning, I just dream about water," she says.
[04:42.88]Seventy-two-year-old Lakshme Ramaswami (ph) has gone back and forth three times already.
[04:50.08]Anything more than the steel urn would be too heavy.
[04:53.62]She shows me how she's been storing what's become her prized possession.
[04:59.85]So, she's been carrying water
[05:05.30] in these small vessels because she isn't able to carry the big buckets.
[05:08.58]She's rationing.
[05:10.00]She doesn't know when the water tanker truck will arrive again.
[05:13.45]From the elderly to the youngest in the family, everyone pitches in, collecting every last drop.
[05:21.39]It only took 15 minutes to empty out this track.
[05:25.59]Now, back to filling station to carry out this routine all over again.
[05:32.09]Sumnima Udas, CNN, New Delhi.
