what's up Superstar I'm Coy wire welcome
to CNN 10 where I tell you the what
letting you decide what to think it's
Thursday January 25th happy Friday Eve
we start the show today in Yemen where
the US and UK carried out another round
of attacks against infrastructure held
by the rebel group known as the houthis
this strike marked the eighth round of
attacks by the US military on houi
Targets in just over 10 days here's our
Orin liberman to explain who the houis
are and why the US is striking the
region the US has carried out a series
of strikes in Yemen in the Middle East
over the past couple of weeks in at
least two of those cases they have been
joined by the UK in carrying out this
operation now the region for this goes
straight to the waterways of the Middle
East and how critical they are
specifically the Red Sea which is just
west west of Yemen and the Gulf of Aiden
just south of Yemen these are some of
the most critical waterways in the world
because if you can't go through here in
the Red Sea then you have to go
thousands of miles all the way around
Africa and that's why they're so
important for international shipping
companies now the problem here is that
the houthis an iran-backed Rebel group
in Yemen have been launching attacks on
Commercial vessels in the Red Sea and in
the Gulf of Aiden using one-way attack
drones and different kinds of missiles
this has caused many of the world's
largest shipping companies to avoid the
Red Sea in the Gulf of Aiden entirely
that adds thousands of miles to the
route they have to go all the way around
Africa it also increases the cost of
shipping which has a profound effect and
is expected to have a profound effect on
the global economy the question what to
do here the Us and other countries tried
to send a warning there was a un
Security Council resolution against
these continued hoofy attacks on
shipping in the Red Sea and in the
Middle East but when these failed to
stop the hoofy the US and the UK began
carrying out a series of air strikes on
houti targets going after their
facilities where they store the kinds of
weapons they've used to attack
international shipping lanes such as
ballistic missiles cruise missiles and
one-way attack drones the hard part here
is that the US is trying not to escalate
the region the Middle East has already
seen a tremendous amount of tension not
only with the Gaza War but also in Iraq
and Syria still after continued attacks
on international shipping lanes in these
critical waterways the us has felt
compelled to act Koy back to
you Pop Quiz Hot Shot what year was the
Doomsday Clock invented 1947 1951 1963
or
1968 1947 is your answer here that's
when the bulletin of atomic scientists
created the clock largely in reaction to
the threat of nuclear weapons and the
prospect of a nuclear arms race between
the US and the Soviet
so what is the Doomsday Clock once a
year scientists reflect on the state of
the world and determine how close
humanity is to well ending it our
Nicholas blat is here to explain the
story behind this unique clock and tell
us what some scientists are thinking as
they reflect on our current year this is
no ordinary clock it doesn't tell time
instead it counts down to the
apocalypse this is the Doomsday Clock
and if we're to ever strike midnight
well let's just say we probably won't be
here to see it on January 23rd experts
updated just how close they think we are
to
catastrophe the Doomsday Clock was
conceived by a group of scientists who
worked on the atom bom known as the
bulletin of the atomic scientists in
1947 the symbolic clock was first set at
7 Minutes to Midnight by designer martle
langdorf representing their fears of
atomic Annihilation a scene of men's
Oblivion but fears eased by 1963 with
the signing of the partial nuclear Test
Ban Treaty and the bulletin reset the
clock to 12 minutes to midnight since
then the clock has been set further and
closer to midnight according to the
severity of an increasingly diverse
range of existential threats determined
by scientists and Nobel laurates
reaching its furthest in 1991 at a
comforting 17 minutes from disaster in
2022 the CL was kept to just 100 seconds
to midnight due to issues like nuclear
Armament climate change and threats to
democracy in 2023 scientists stated we
were closer than ever to Global
catastrophe at just 90 seconds to
midnight and now in 2024 experts say we
are still at an alarming 90 Seconds To
Midnight due in part to conflicts around
the globe AI advancement and slow
movement on climate change the Doomsday
Clock is a symbol an indicator of the
perils humans create and a plea to find
solutions for a better future of one
world turning to the Animal Kingdom I
don't know about you but I was today
years old when I learned that animals
can see colors that we humans can't
thanks to new technology we're now able
to get a glimpse of what the world looks
like for bees Birds butterflies and more
our Shannon hod reports on a brand new
camera that can help us see the world
through the eyes of animals
this is a caterpillar Through The Eyes
of a
honeybee and this is how a mocking bird
sees the sky a new technology allows
humans to see the world the way animals
do many color signals that we find in
nature are not evolved to be viewed by
humans we're just not seeing a full
picture this is the first time that
we're able to establish a highly
accurate measurements of V receed colors
in motion a standard camera captures
three distinct color channels red green
and blue but research is led by Vera
vasis at the UK's University of Sussex
and Professor Daniel hanley's team at
George Mason University created a camera
system that adds an extra Dimension it
records four different color channels
including the ultraviolet and they just
published a study detailing what the new
technology can do so my favorite video
is the video of the rainbow as seen
Through The Eyes of Mouse honeybee bird
and human so if you look at the bottom
there's a magenta stripe on the bird
Vision this is the ultraviolet band of
the rainbow that's invisible to our eye
this actually goes to show us that
there's more Dimensions to the rainbow
than we typically appreciate Hanley says
birds and insects use color to find food
attract a mate or avoid Predators so the
new technology can help humans to better
understand how animals communicate and
how to protect them more than 600
million Birds die every year from
striking wind of surfaces and there are
stickers that you can place on the outer
surface of blast that absorb ultraviolet
light but because you can't see it it's
hard to assess how effective they might
be with the help of this new technology
we can now see what the bird would see
as it approaches a glass surface and
come up with better Solutions this study
is a metaphor for seeing things from a
different
[Music]
perspective
from what animals see to how we see
animals today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 is about a 600lb bull from Newark
New Jersey named Ricardo who made a
miraculous escape from a slaughterhouse
last month his unbelievable feet steered
a high school art class to catalog his
story Tony Yates from affiliate WABC
takes us to the exhibit there's a b
running down the tracks when Ricardo
made his famous escape from a slaughter
house in Newark back in December
Columbia High School's art teacher was
inspired well what happened was it it
started where I had a vision I was I
wanted to have something with the um
Spanish Department he commissioned some
of his best students to combine what
they're learning about Spain and his
bullfighting tradition with Ricardo's
Escape where the rule is if he gets away
he gets to Live start to focus on the
bull and understanding as far as the
whole aspect of bull the bull fighting
the empathy was happening in the bull
after a month of work this is the
collection from Grayson's artist I
wanted to incorporate how like the Cape
is the only colored part of the drawing
and you see how the bull is just blindly
running into it almost as if the cape
commands it what what to do I wanted to
capture like the animosity in the Bulls
when they're running but also how they
are just innocent in the sense that
they're put into the situation like
they're not choosing to run I personally
think that tradition is something that
we should respect but also can be
altered over time facing the challenges
we face today the experience turned out
to be quite thought-provoking for this
group that's why we have the right now
our hash empathy for theable so to
hopefully spur more conversation about
it you know more awareness the exhibit's
premiere held this evening at the school
adding more voices to that conversation
that art was ebullient they really grab
that opportunity by the horns moving on
now it's shout out time this shout out
goes to y Middle School in Casper
Wyoming go Cyclones we see why you're so
special and this shout out goes to the
Bears at White Bear Lake Area High
School in White Bear Lake Minnesota make
sure you go on and Roar and rise up
today have a wonderful Thursday everyone
we're going to see you right back here
tomorrow Fray I'm KY wire and we are CNN
