CNN 10 your One-Stop shop for some of
the most important headlines of the day
in just 10 minutes time now today we're
starting with the latest news on the war
in the Middle East involving one of the
United States strongest allies Israel on
Saturday Israel launched direct military
strikes against Iran to better
understand what's happening let's put
this event in context on October 7th of
last year Hamas attacked Israel leading
to Israel's military operations in Gaza
where tens of thousands of Palestinians
have been killed and the situation has
been called a humanitarian crisis and
tensions across the entire middle east
region have increased in April Iran
launched a direct attack against Israel
firing more than 300 drones and missiles
Iran is a supporter of Hamas and other
groups opposed to Israel like Hezbollah
a powerful group in Lebanon where Israel
also launched a ground Invasion this
year Iran said their attack was in
response to a strike on an Iranian
diplomatic building in Syria that Iran
blamed on Israel Iran then fired
ballistic missiles at Israel on October
2nd and that brings us to Saturday when
Israel launched military strike against
Iran the operation involved three waves
of targeted air strikes against military
sites in different parts of Iran Iran's
leaders said Israel's attack should not
be exaggerated or downplayed and
President Biden urged the end of direct
conflict between the two countries but
you might be wondering what happens next
well both countries have indicated this
could be the end of their direct
military exchanges the impact of these
events on the region and the world
remains to be seen
this is especially important as the war
in Gaza continues and calls for a
ceasefire and a release of hostages grow
CNN correspondent Alex marquart has more
Israel announced in the early hours of
Saturday morning that their military
operation against Iran was over after
striking military Targets in different
parts of the country the targets
according to Israel's military included
missile manufacturing facilities as well
as surfac to a missile systems sources

Israeli air strikes and Iranian media
said that military sites in three
different provinces were hit but they
claimed limited damage the United States

Iran's nuclear or oil facilities fearing
greater escalation in the region and an
impact on the global economy Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
appears to have complied following
Israel's operation a senior us administ
Administration official told reporters
that quote this should be the end of
this direct exchange of fire between
Israel and Iran the official also said
that the strikes were carefully prepared
as well as being extensive targeted and
precise Israel strikes were in response
to the October 1st Iranian barrage of
some 180 ballistic missiles directly
fired at Israel for the past 3 weeks
Israel has been preparing its response
in cour ination with the United States
though Washington made clear it did not
participate in Israel's operation what
comes next remains very much to be seen
what the damage in Iran looks like
whether the Iranian regime retaliates in
some way and what impact this may have
on the other fronts in the region in
Lebanon and in
Gaza Pop Quiz Hot Shot what's the
biggest desert in the world GOI Desert
Sahara Desert Arabian Desert or the
Antarctic due to its dry harsh
conditions the Antarctic ice shelf is
the largest desert in the world leaving
the Sahara Desert as the world's largest
hot desert new Drone footage shot in
Southeastern Morocco reveals rare
flooding in the Sahara
desert rain is not unheard of in this
part of the Sahara but occurs at a rate
of just a few inches a year Morocco's
meteorology agency told AP in early
October that it's been quote 30 to 50
years since they've experienced this
much
rainfall the Sahara is the world's
largest non-polar desert stretching
across 3.6 million square
miles each fall when North Carolina
becomes Nature's Art Gallery as millions
of trees burst into vibrant shows of
Reds oranges yellows drawing tourists
from around the world but this year the
aftermath of hurricane Helen a major
category 4 storm that made landfall in
late September has left communities
facing a different reality from historic
hotels to local art galleries business
owners are struggling to rebuild while
tourism dollars have slowed
significantly up next we're learning how
these Mountain communities are fighting
to preserve their livelihoods one
reservation at a time a lot of times
when there's tragedy people hype it up
for a few days and then it falls to the
waist side we can't be forgotten weeks
after Hurricane Helen hit business
owners here in Western North Carolina
are working overtime to rebuild any
other year and things would be booked
solid all fall
season this flood hit
27 I mean you can see the flood water
mark a half hour north of Asheville Josh
Copus had turned an old jail into a
popular hotel and restaurant we've done
18
$1,000 of refunds so far so I'm like
taking the money that we've raised for
rebuilding the restaurant and just using
it to refund the hotel
rooms fall in Appalachia is pure magic
our color in the leaves is like world
famous for a lot of the businesses in
this region that's the money maker
without tourists communities in Western
North Carolina will be out $2.1 billion
in Revenue this year Jacob sesum co-owns
several businesses in the area with only
one restaurant open his biggest problem
is a pretty expensive one and it's
affecting everyone the lack of pable
water is keeping a lot of people from
opening so we have a
2100g sstn filled on a daily basis with
pable water that has to be tested twice
a day the cost to lease the equipment
and pay for the water is greater than
$600 a day it is a large expense for a
small restaurant but you can only
imagine if the population's paychecks
have stopped all the furniture down here
was destroyed ruined washed everywhere
and you can still see the dust from the
mud removal the question is what do we
rebuild what shouldn't be rebuilt what
is too close to the river this building
the water was to the second floor and
now all you see is rubble and leftover
artwork I believe it's over 300 artists
they're going to need help because
nobody's walking around here buying
their art the best way to support any
local business here that has an online
shop definitely go online like book a
room buy a gift card buy a t-shirt I'm
going to reopen as soon as possible
[Applause]
all right these days robots can do a lot
they can serve you lunch drive your car
and and now a new robot is playing in a
symphony orchestra this mechanical
Maestro is taking center stage and some
orchestras may need to update their
dress code policy to include some metal
our 10 out of 10 story today features a
unique musician that's more circuit
board than Concert Hall but don't let
that fool you this robotic chalis is no
mere windup Act
this may be the first ever robot to play
alongside a symphony orchestra according
to Reuters there's obviously a lot of
self-playing pianos but the string
instrument is so intricate so I was you
know very curious about how it actually
works the robot which was designed by
researcher and composer Frederick Gran
played at Sweden's Malmo live concert
hall on October 17th Gran programmed the
robots using the musical score that was
written for for it it's kind of
liberating to go beyond the human
anatomy when you when you think about
what to write for a for a cello musical
notation is basically like code so my
musical notation actually became
transcribed as code acoustic music
played by robots will definitely be an
art form or an platform for itself but I
don't think it will ever replace live
musicians all right team 10 keep
bringing that a some energy and
curiosity to everything you do because
you make the world a better and brighter
place now I want to go ahead and do my
favorite part of the day and that is
shout out time and today's shout out
goes to sherland North Junior High
School in macallen Texas we see you and
we hope everyone watching around the
world has a wonderful one I'm KY wire

your CNN 10
