hello everyone I'm Isabelle Rosales
filling in today for Koy who has the day
off it is so good to be with you it is
Monday September the 23rd and I've got
10 minutes to get you caught up on your
news for the day right here on CNN 10 we
begin in New York city where the UN
General Assembly kicks off this week it
is an annual meeting of world leaders
that has happened every year since the
United Nations was founded back in
1945 the summit features speeches from
presidents and prime ministers from all
over the world and lots of meetings
about important International topics but
this year's un takes place against a
backdrop of global conflict there's the
ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and
Ukrainian President Vladimir zinski is
due to give a speech on Wednesday that
then there is a growing conflict in the
Middle East Israel has been at war with
Hamas since the terrorist group attacked
its citizens on October 7th more than
40,000 Palestinians have been killed in
Gaza in this ongoing war and now the
conflict appears to be spreading as
tensions between Israel and another
terrorist group in the region known as
Hezbollah escalate Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already
delayed his trip to New York for the
United Nations General Assembly because
of what's happening there hasah has one
of the most powerful paramilitary forces
in the Middle East and its main base
sits on the Israel Lebanon border there
have been some skirmishes between Israel
and Hezbollah since October the 7th but
in the last week they have traded their
most intense fire it ramped up after a
suspected secret operation by Israel to
blow up wireless devices belonging to
members of Hezbollah the Israeli
government has not acknowledged that but
hbot retaliated firing scores of rockets
and missiles over the weekend into
Israel most of those were intercepted
but some fell causing damage Israel also
carried out hundreds of strikes inside
Lebanon and what the military said was
preemptive action against a planned
Hezbollah attack because of this
intensifying situation the US state
department is warning Americans not to
travel to Lebanon and says they should
leave if they're already there next up
we head to South America where the
continent is setting records for the
number of wildfires seen in a year from
Brazil's Amazon rainforest to peruse
croplands officials there are doing what
they can to fight the Flames as climate
conditions become more severe CNN's
Gustavo Valdez
reports the Amazon region is on fire
flames engulf large swats of land mainly
in Brazil and Peru overwhelming
responders and polluting the air in many
countries struggling to contain the
blaze this week the Peruvian president
declared three regions under their state
of emergency as firefighters do their
best to contain the
fires I beg you to stop burning
grassland says Gustavo adriansen
president of the Council of ministers
who said every single one of the more
than 200 fires reported in all but two
of the country's 26 regions were
allegedly started by humans trying to
clear land for agricultural purposes he
said says Peru has limited resources and
has not ruled out requesting help from
the International Community so far at
least 16 people have died because of the
fires according to the
government a severe drought in the
Amazon is making things
worse this is a Regional Crisis says
adriaen explaining that the drought
extends throughout the whole Amazon
region also affecting Ecuador Brazil and
Paraguay Brazil South America's largest
country country is struggling to contain
the fires president luus ignasio Lula da
Silva says they will spend some $90
million in their efforts to control the
Flames the drought in Amazonia is so
severe that sections of the mighty
Amazon River are so shallow that ships
can't navigate it even those not in the
path of the fires are at
risk Dr Aldo via vienu says the air
quality over much of Bolivia is too
dangerous the government there has
encouraged schools to go back to Virtual
learning to avoid exposure to toxic
air almost 60 active fires were reported
in Bolivia in one week more than 3,000
firefighters are deployed on the ground
while planes dump water from the air to
assist in their efforts September is
typically the rainy season in the region
but this year experts doubt it will be
enough to stop the
fires it is time for 10c trivia the
hatchlings of what animal have only a 1
in 1,000 survival rate in the wild is it
Penguins alligators sea turtles or
ostrich the right answer here is sea
turtles they face a number of dangers
like prey and pollution and all seven
species are
endangered with sea turtles facing so
many threats efforts to protect them are
underway one Island on the coast of
Georgia has become a safe haven for sea
turtles during nesting season only red
lights are allowed on the beach at night
because other light colors can be
disruptive to hatchlings CNN's Alisa
Rafa gives us a look at the most robust
sea turtle conservation effort in the
country a trek from Sand to Sea someone
got stuck in a footprint but he made it
out leaving behind their own tracks as
they follow the glow of the Moonlight we
don't want to use any other type of
white light that could disorient them or
confuse them the red lights guide
experts on nighttime patrols as they
check on Nest all these little markings
these are all crabs and other signs in
the sand we're looking for large Turtles
coming from the ocean the tracks left by
one as they emerged or hatchling tracks
which are much much smaller we are just
about to get on to Driftwood Beach
scientists and students have been
monitoring the beaches of jaal Island
Georgia for more than 50 years today
David zyo and his research team continue
that work on one of the most robust sea
turtle conservation programs in the
country sea turtles really respond to
temperature so the experts here do a lot
of patrols late at night and early in
the morning when those temperatures are
coolest more intense storms and higher
Seas could flood these nests more often
eroding habitats moms need to lay these
eggs let's get back down in there and
confirm that we have eggs
we do here is a loggerhead sea turtle
egg we're going to let them safely
excavate now that we know exactly where
that egg chamber is we'll put a flag
here grab some manage materials we're
going to put this right center over this
Nest a mom can lay more than 100 eggs at
a time but for every 1,000 eggs laid
only one hatchling makes it to adulthood
an increasingly difficult feat due to
climate change are they coming up faster
because it's getting warmer yeah and so
you certainly see that but there is
there's an upper limit where it's going
to be too hot and that development is
actually going to arrest and halt eggs
incubating in an environment temperature
cooler than 82° hatch M hotter than 88°
hatch female as our climate warms many
more eggs are hatching as female
creating an imbalanced gender ratio for
an already endangered species we just
have to be ready prepare as best as we
can and learn as much as we can about
these animals beforehand so we can
proactively try to improve management
and improve resiliency here across the
coast reducing plstic regulating Coastal
development and paying attention while
boating and fishing are huge steps that
help these little ones take more of
these
steps these tiny but mighty turtles
waddled the Earth with the
Dinosaurs now facing their toughest test
of resilience against our warming
climate and changing Coast to find their
way back

home today's story getting a 10 out of
10 is this unbelievable renovation this
farmhouse in Maine had to relocate some
residents before construction started
inside the home because of a massive
colony of bees the honeybees had
apparently been living inside the wall
for decades it looks like there are a
bazillion of them but the actual number
is around 40,000 bees they were moved to
a beehive box outside The Farmhouse to
keep on buzzing I've Got a Feeling those
little guys are going to love their new
home all right Superstars it is the best
