what's up Superstar it's Friday Friday
great job of taking this week by storm
grinding and Shining maybe even having
to power through some tough moments but
rise up here we go welcome to the best
10 minutes in news I'm Koy wire this is
CNN 10 and come on with me as we zip
through an overview of some of the
latest news headlines another round of
snow and cold weather is expected to hit
parts of the US this after a series of
winter storms has already killed at
least 40 people across Nine States since
last week potentially dangerous wind
chills are also expected in the central
us once again so please stay warm stay
covered and try to avoid any risk of
frostbite and or hypothermia hypothermia
occurs when your body loses heat faster
than it can produce heat normal body
temperature is around 98.6 Dees F but
hypo thermia sets in when your body temp
Falls below 95 and the South Asian
nation of Pakistan the fifth most
populated nation in the world carried
out a series of military strikes on what
it said were separatist militant
hideouts inside Iran the attack came a
day after Iran said it used Precision
missile and drone strikes to destroy two
bases of another militant group in
Pakistani territory according to Reuters
both countries reported that civilians
including children were killed during
the attacks Reuters obtained this
eyewitness video from Iran with
villagers standing among damaged
buildings and says the location matches
scenes of the aftermath shown on Iranian
TV earlier this week people gathered
across Islam Abad the capital of
Pakistan to protest Iran's crossb strike
hostilities between Pakistan and Iran
aren't new but Reuters calls the
exchange of attacks this week the
highest profile crossb intrusion in
recent years this along with all of the
other tension in the Middle East is
Raising great concern of a growing wider
conflict CNN's Paula Hancock is here to
give us a quick recap of all that's
happened and explain Iran's weblike
connection to the conflict in the Middle
East to understand the very real fears
of a wider conflict in the Middle East
it's useful to take a closer look at the
axes of resistance the proxies and
allies of Iran stretching from the Red
Sea to the Mediterranean I this latest
Regional tension was sparked by the
Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7th
and Israel's subsequent war in Gaza the
US says Hamas is funded equipped and
sometimes trained by Iran although tan
claims it was not involved in the
October 7th attack then Iran's other
proxies got involved October 8th
Hezbollah in Lebanon one of the most
powerful forces in the region boasting
some 100,000 Fighters and links with the
Lebanese government fired missiles
across the border into Northern Israel
which Israel's military responded to
this raised fears of a wider conflict
next on the 19th of October the houthi
rebels in Yemen launched missiles
against Israel before moving their focus
to commercial vessels in the Red Sea
causing Global chaos in the shipping
industry us and UK strikes against
Targets in Yemen have not stopped these
continued attacks
in Iraq there are a number of
iran-backed militia groups that are
increasingly active since the war in
Gaza targeting US troops in the country
on a near daily basis operating under an
umbrella group the Islamic resistance in
Iraq they're United in ideology but
splinted in operations making them more
challenging to
Target there is little to suggest that
Iran wants direct conflict with Israel
or the United States at this point
but the sheer number and reach of its
proxies engaging the US and its allies
inevitably Sparks fears of an
unintentional wider conflict 10 second
trivia what is the longest river in the
world according to the Guinness World
Records the Missouri the Nile the Amazon
the
[Music]
yangi some scientists debate this but
Guinness Britannica and US Government
say the Nile is the longest river in the
world some
4,160 Mi long if you could simply use
the palm of your hand to pay for things
whether it's groceries or hopping on a
Subway or bus or even entering buildings
like an office or gym would you do it
well a Chinese Tech Giant 10cent has
launched a new biometric payment system
designed to allow you to leave your keys
cash and credit cards at home our Mark
Stewart has more from
Beijing in a busy Beijing Metro station
time is of the essence
and here on the dashin airport express
line passengers can ditch their
smartphones instead paying for their
ride like this with the palm of their
hand this new biometric payment system
is part of a trial by Chinese Tech Giant
10 cent for its was and pay users the
digital wallet and payment service is a
sister app of WeChat and users must opt
in to use the contactless
service infrared cameras and ize both a
user's palm print and the unique pattern
of veins under their skin within seconds
the user is identified and a payment is
made we're hoping that Palm payments can
save people the trouble of carrying
physical items like cards and keys so
that our lives become more convenient
here at 10 cense headquarters in the
southern Chinese city of Shenzhen the
technology is used across the building
from the cafeteria to the
gym
gu renen oversees the lab that began
developing this technology in
2019 he says the double verification of
palm prints and veins helps prevent
identity
theft with face scanning technology
people can look a lot like each other
like twins but with palm payments even
brothers and sisters who look alike have
unique palm prints and
veins 10cent began rolling out this Tech
in early 2020 3 it's now being tested in
convenience stores at Shenzhen
University and in local gyms the
co-founder of this gym chain says nearly
2,000 members have registered to use the
system before this all users needed to
enter a password to open the door and
use their smartphone to check in and
make purchases now they can just use
their
Palm biometric payment systems are
nothing new from fingerprint to facial
recognition
these Services have been around for
years including Palm scanning technology
in 2020 Amazon began rolling out this
Palm payment service at Whole Food
supermarkets in the
US but concerns have been raised about
biometric Payment Systems around data
security and privacy both in China and
abroad when you amass huge amounts of
people's most sensitive information
their biometric data creating a kind of
Honey Pot which cyber criminals uh kind
of lick their lips about and really want
to access tensent says security and
privacy is their number one priority
users biometric data is stored on a
cloud and is encrypted for security
tensent is working to improve this
service and hopes to expand its reach
but the future of this Tech lays firmly
in the hands of the
public
