hello sunshine I'm Koy wire this is CNN
10 enjoying our time here in Detroit
Michigan the statue you see behind me is
called the Spirit of Detroit in 1955
Marshall Fredericks was commissioned to
create this Monument a man holding a
family and a golden orb the bronze was
cast in Oslo Norway making it all the
way here where it represents hope and
progress for Detroit to this day
currently wearing a lions Jersey
honoring the football team's inspiring
run now for our lead story of the day as
LL Cool J would say don't call it a
comeback I've been here for years
cursive handwriting it's a style of
writing a lot of schools in the US don't
teach anymore in 2010 it was left out of
the national common core education
standards which are a set of learning
goals that help teachers prepare
students for college and future careers
curs appears to be making a comeback
though just this month California
required students in grades 1 through
six to learn the writing style it is the
23rd state to currently mandate that
cursive handwriting be taught in schools
and it's the 10th state to do so since
2016 according to the website my
cursivecursive
of teaching it say it helps reading
comprehension find motor skills and
allows students to read historical
documents in their original form we turn
now to China where a crumbling company's
Empire Saga is now complete real estate
developer evergrand has the biggest debt
of any other competitor in the world it
became a symbol of China's property
crisis after it defaulted on its debt in
2021 that means the company officially
declared it was unable to pay back the
money it owed over 300 33 billion to be
precise and now a court in Hong Kong has
ordered the company to liquidate or sell
everything it owns over the past few
years what was happening with evergrand
had an impact on China's domestic and
international stock markets for more
here's our very own Christy L Stout ever
Grand the world's most indebted
developer is heading to Liquidation on
Monday a judge here in Hong Kong ruled
to liquidate the Chinese company after
years of failed attempts to restructure
it Hong Kong judge Linda Chan said quote
it is time for the court to say enough
is enough now before the hearing
evergrand Shares are trading down as
much as 20% trading was halted in China
evergrand and its listed subsidiaries
for years now evergrand has been the
poster child of China's property debt
crisis it is the world's most indebted
property developer with more than
$328 billion of liabilities and $240
billion of assets and last year in
September setember its founder and
chairman Shu jaing was suspected of
crimes and detained by the police
analysts say that the decision to
liquidate this company is good news for
China's economy in the long run but it
will be painful now according to Andrew
clier of Orient Capital research he says
this quote everg Grand's liquidation is
a sign that China is willing to go to
extreme ends to quell the property
bubble this is good for the economy in
the long term but very difficult in the
short term quote now Gary the senior
Economist of natxus adds this it is not
an end but the beginning of the
prolonged process of liquidation which
will make ever Grand's daily operations
even harder investors will be concerned
about whether there will be a snowball
effect on other developers as the cue to
liquidation is long unquote now in 2021
evergr triggered a market panic when it
couldn't make its debt payments and
China's real estate market has yet to
recover it accounts for as much as 30%
of the country's economic activity and
more than 2third of Chinese household
wealth is tied up in real estate Pop
Quiz Hot Shot which of these famous
paintings became a household name after
it was stolen from the Lou in the early
1900s van Go's The Starry KN verier Girl
With a Pearl Earring bodell's The Birth
of Venus or Da Vinci's Mona
Lisa Mona Lisa ding-ding an Italian
handyman stole it from the French Museum
in 19 11 newspapers Around the World
published pictures of it in a 2-year
police hunt for the now famous painting
ensued question for you what's more
important art or the right to eat
healthy sustainable food that's a
question environmental activists in
Paris posed after they threw pumpkin
soup at the Mona Lisa one of the most
famous paintings in the world here's
CNN's Michael Holmes with more details
on what happened at the Louver Museum
and the methods some folks use to bring
attention to a Cause
the crowd gasps as two activists throw
soup at one of the most famous works of
art in the world but it would be the
Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci
in the 16th century who would have the
last laugh her mysterious smile
Untouched by the stunt we need to close
the room safe behind a shield of
protective armored glass as security
ushered people out of the room the
vandals obscured behind barriers their
protest for healthy and sustainable food
leaving a bad taste in the mouths of
many visitors it's disgusting to treat
art that's really valuable for the
history of humankind that way museums
around the world are on guard after a
series of similar attacks on famous
works of art whether it's throwing soup
at a van
go smearing paint on the casing of the
deas sculpture or hurling oil at a
painting by Gustaf
Clinton it's all for shock value a
tactic used by climate or anti-oil
groups to get attention but to many
people it's a baffling if not
infuriating
disruption I really don't see the link
I'm not shocked for the Mona Lisa I'm
not worried for her because she's Ultra
protected but then I don't see the link
with food other than the fact that the
Mona Lisa is internationally recognized
so we'll definitely hear about this the
Mona Lisa has survived the centuries
it's been stolen attacked with acid had
objects thrown at it so a dousing of
soup and a canned message by activists
only puts the spotlight back on it a
masterclass in capturing the Public's
attention something with which no
gimmick or Cheap Trick can
[Applause]
