good morning friends I'm Betsy Klein in
Washington filling in for Koy wire today
I've played nine fewer NFL seasons than
koi but I'm otherwise qualified to be
here so let's get to it this is cnn10
and it's your cnn1 especially on a hashy
your word Wednesday so keep an ear out
for your vocabulary word in today's show
we start in the Middle East where
International communities have proposed
multiple ceasefire agreements in Gaza
and that now includes the US the
proposed United Nations security Council
draft resolution is the first time that
the US has officially called for a
ceasefire in Israel's war against Hamas
since it began more than four months ago
but unlike other efforts the US is using
specific language that gives Israel some
wiggle room how well Algeria proposed a
resolution this week that call called
for an immediate ceasefire that had
found some international support but the
US vetoed that plan arguing it would
harm ongoing negotiations to free
Israeli hostages in Gaza so instead the
US is calling for a ceasefire as soon as
practicable the US draft resolution also
calls for the release of all remaining
Israeli hostages and warns against an
Israeli ground incursion into Rafa which
is in the southern part of the Gaza
Strip bordering Egypt hundreds of
thousands of displaced Palestinians have
fled there during Israel's war against
Hamas let's turn to CNN's International
diplomatic editor Nick Robertson to
learn more about why the US is putting
out this draft resolution now there are
two takeaways here one is that at a
diplomatic level the United States comes
to the rescue of prime minister Benjamin
Netanyahu that's certainly how he'll
read the situation despite uh the very
clear pressure being put on him by the
White House with the wording of this
resolution why do I say this because in
essence the United States is heading off
a Prov providing an alternative
resolution to the one that Algeria is
putting forward which has Wide
International support for an immediate
ceasefire the Prime Minister here hasn't
responded to the publicly yet at least
to the US version but the US version is
still very very clear it says the
conditions right now for a military
incursion into Rafa would quite
literally result in more civilian deaths
potentially push people across the
border we International Security and
peace uh certainly in the region around
here so it's with very high levels of
caution and guidance for the Israeli
government but the Prime Minister here
is likely to read this as he is being
given more time because the wording from
the United States is is is not a
permanent ceasefire and it says when it
is practicably possible 10-second trivia
time which country launched the first
satellite called Sputnik 1 into to space
was it the United States China the
Soviet Union
Japan if you said the Soviet Union
you're out of this world on October 4th
1957 the Soviet Union successfully
launched Sputnik 1 that satellite was
only about the size of a beach ball and
weighed just under 185 lb we head to
space next where a satellite from the
European Space Agency is expected to
make a fiery re-entry today the agency's
space debris office said the satellite
called ers2 weighed just over 5,000 lb
at around 50 Mi above the Earth's
surface the satellite is expected to
break apart and the majority of the
fragments will burn up in the atmosphere
now some of those fragments could reach
the planet's surface but the agency says
it won't contain any harmful substances
and it will most likely fall into the
ocean we turn now to our Bill Weir who
explains how the astronomical number of
man-made objects orbiting the planet has
turned some space effect officials
compunction into action we all Dro
things around the house guys I got to
tell you I think my span has escaped so
when astronaut Pier sers dropped a
spatula while spreading putty on the
space shuttle it was relatable
news see on me okay we'll take a look
but while a spatula in space was still
novel in 2006 it seems quaint now
because nearly 70 years after Sputnik
the moon hold tons of human trash and
the final frontier is filthy with rocket
fumes and orbiting junk check out this
NASA time lapse each dot a man-made
object bigger than a softball flying 10
times faster than a bullet the website
orbiting now is tracking over 8,300
satellites most of them put there by
private companies like SpaceX and over
time they will only add to the 100
million tiny pieces of man-made debris
in orbit so so behind us is the uh the
National Air and Space Museum do they
have an exhibit on space junk is it time
we started paying attention there's been
discussion about it and it is time that
we pay attention to the issue Ron Lopez
heads the American branch of astroscale
a Japanese entry into the growing field
of orbital debris removal the
interesting metric is that over the next
10 years we're going to launch three
times as much into space as we have
launched since Sputnik since the
beginning of the Space Age three times
as much in just the next 10
years well they're a long way from
flying garbage trucks astroscale just
launched a second test mission and
funded only by private investment
recently proved that they can use
magnets to catch and potentially extend
the lives of dying
satellites in 2018 a team from the UK
proved that space junk can be snared
with a net which helps with traffic
control up there but does nothing to
stop dead satellit from burning into
countless pieces of metal throwing off
remnants that can stay in our skies for
years launches are almost a weekly or
daily occurrence is that having an
effect on the
stratosphere yes so as we see this
increase in Space Traffic um we see
significantly increased emissions and
something we've been talking about is
adding a lot of material to the
stratosphere that was never there before
all of the sort of the the mass of
material that we put into space doesn't
all just stay there and when it's
deorbited it basically acts in the same
way that a meteoroid does with special
highflying Jets a team from Noah
recently discovered that 10% of the
particles in the stratosphere contain
bits of rocket and satellite metal and
in the next few decades it could be 50%
matching the amount created Naturally by
meteorites scientists worry that this
could eventually alter earth's climate
so this summer Japan and NASA aimed to
launch the world's first biodegradable
satellite made mostly from
wood and now let's dive into a story
that as Koy would say deserves a 10 out
of 10 CNN's Genie MOS gets to the bottom
of an underwater investigation bubbling
up in the stingray tank at a North
Carolina Aquarium this one will surely
hook
you how could a stingray named Charlotte
end up pregnant when no male Stingray
has ever been in her tank the $644,000
question who's the daddy we think
Charlotte is her own daddy staff at the
aquarium and shark lab by team EO in
North Carolina are so bonded with
Charlotte she lets them caress her when
they found a lump they feared it was
cancer an ultra sound proved otherwise
there's a baby several babies but how
she has always been a single Ray she
needs Ray Tinder the most likely
explanation something called pareno
Genesis I've been calling it Do-it
yourself reproduction sort of a virgin
birth the female's egg becomes an embryo
without
fertilization but there's another far
less likely Theory two male sharks that
were placed in the tank this is Mo and
this is Larry named after you know who
matter what you how dare you strike a
mother with an infant in his arms the
staff found bites on Charlotte and male
sharks tend to bite during mating but
experts at the Georgia Aquarium and
elsewhere say a shark Stingray hookup
would be anatomically impossible the
aquarium plans to do DNA testing when
the babies are born the aquarium may not
yet know how'd that baby get here but if
Immaculate Conception is the best theory
so we're telling everyone don't drink
the water from this tank
genos
CNN oh oh New York thanks to miss Gil
social studies class in Calgary Alberta
Canada for submitting our #y word
Wednesday winner compunction a noun
meaning distress over an anticipated
action or result nice job and thank you
for helping make us smarter today okay
we made it to the end of the show but I
couldn't leave you guys without some
special school shoutouts we see you
Heather tonio's class at Evergreen
Community Charter School in Asheville
North Carolina go Wolfpack and special
recognition goes to elel haes Public
Charter School right here in our
nation's capital Washington DC thanks
