hello what's up how you doing it's fry
I'm KY wire welcome to CNN 10 where I
tell you the what letting you decide
what to think we have a huge
announcement today later in the show and
it has to do with you especially all you
teachers out there but first we have to
get you some of your news for the day
the best 10 minutes in News starts now
we start with the power crisis impacting
about 1 million people in the
southeastern United States folks are
still without electricity a week after
Hurricane Helen wiped away major
portions of the power grid you can see
lots of Lights throughout the southeast
from satellite images before elen and
after a whole swath of Darkness left in
elen's path from Florida's Big Bend to
the Carolinas the most impact Ed places
by these outages are in Western North
Carolina and South Carolina the Region's
power provider Duke Energy says that's
where Helen caused unprecedented
destruction and that the repairs will be
significant Duke Energy says it's
deploying thousands of mobile
substations that are being installed in
some areas to help speed up the
restoration process Helen's Swift flood
waters took out so many power poles and
electric lines infrastructure needs to
be completely rebuilt before power can
be restored in some areas and washed out
or closed roads are making it very
difficult for help to be sent to make
those repairs on Wednesday President Joe
Biden deployed 1,000 troops from Eastern
North Carolina to help in the hardest
hit western part of the state more than
3,500 FEMA Personnel have been deployed
including 12200 in North Carolina alone
all with the goal of helping communities
get back on their feet
10 second trivia what is the shallowest
ocean in the world Pacific Ocean
Atlantic Ocean Indian Ocean or Arctic
Ocean Arctic ocean is your answer here
also the smallest ocean covering less
than 3% of the Earth's surface most of
it covered with ice and let's go now to
the Arctic Ocean where China has
conducted a joint Maritime Patrol with
Russia it's the first time China's Coast
Guard entered those Waters a region
where Beijing has been wanting to extend
its military reach as China and Russia
increasingly strengthen security and
economic ties the US has raised concerns
about the two countries coordination in
the strategically and environmentally
sensitive Arctic region CNN's Mark
Stewart has more for years the Arctic
Ocean has been a point of interest for
China Amit its strong ties with Russia
while this Patrol if it did indeed enter
the ocean may have just been on the
outskirts the messaging and images from
the Chinese government show the
symbolism and importance of the region
to China let me show you some of the
pictures we've received we see a shot
from above of the Chinese Coast Guard
vessel there's a helicopter taking off
flying around officers are singing the
national anthem on Deck along with some
ceremonial moments an officer from the
Chinese Coast Guard said this voyage is
about security analysts point out this
is a broader pattern of collaboration
and designed to send a message to
Washington whose Maritime activities in
the South and East China Seas have
annoyed Beijing a retired US Navy
Captain who has worked in intelligence
feels this presence in the far north is
significant because it implies China is
extending its Coast Guard into areas the
US has traditionally considered to be
its own domain the US has raised
concerns about China's presence in the
region and its coordination with Russia
as we see the two Nations tighten their
security and economic Ties on a broader
level all right if you get hungry during
this next story my bad I'll be hungry
too there is a new CEO taking the helmet
Red Lobster not long after the company
filed for bankruptcy earlier this year
closing restaurants around the country
CEO deola Adam aen new to the job has
plans to improve the company's
profitability by investing in new
equipment and and technology for
hundreds of restaurants hoping to even
open new chains in the near future but
will it work and what goes into ensuring
that a business can attract new
customers for years to come CNN reporter
Nathaniel meerson has more this is
without exaggeration one of the most
important companies in American history
embattled restaurant chain Red Lobster
has a new CEO and a steep climb ahead
there were certainly big mistakes made
over the last few years
in the wake of bankruptcy this year the
chain is leaning on deola adamu there's
a lot of regular formerly the CEO of PF
Changs and just 35 years old you know
when I took over PF Changs I was 30 so
now I feel old yeah 35 I feel I feel
experienced hey how you doing you bring
the food out earlier it was it was
perfect I appreciate it so how does this
new CEO plan to save Red Lobster we'll
get the ultimate feast we sat down for a
chat over some well Lobster I've never
had Lobster on Pizza well you're about
to try it after ordering we proceeded
straight to the elephant or shrimp in
the room when you saw endless shrimp you
know what did you think so that's a very
expensive product to to give away
endlessly when you have endless shrimp
and people are coming in and sitting
down at the table and eating for hours
as much shrimp as they possibly can you
stress out the kitchen you stress out
the servers you stress out the host
people can't get a table it creates a
lot of chaos and you saw a lot of that
are you glad that endless shrimp shm is
done was that pretty crazy actually yeah
you know food quality is very good at
Red Lobster it has been since its
deception now the menu has gotten too
big so we're going to uh reduce the menu
but in a very intelligent way do you
think you we you guys might need to
close more restaurants we intend to be
done closing restaurants intend to grow
from here grow from here in terms of the
business right there's going to be um
investments in the product that will
take time infrastructure investment
takes time technology investment takes
time there's 545 restaurants so fixing
every broken HVAC and every broken every
torn carpet and every uh chair that
needs replacing will take time but the
impact should be felt right away when
you wake up every morning and you're
excited to do something it stops being
work maybe because I was a server when I
was young but I understand what it's
like to work in a restaurant business so
nothing keeps me up at night I'm just
I'm energetic about the work and the
more quickly we can get it done and the
better we are at achieving our goals the
better life will be for 30,000 people
that work for us that's the most
important thing to me
