wire this is CNN 10 your 10 minutes of
news where I tell you the what letting
you decide what to think today is your
word Wednesday so stay tuned to see if
the word you submitted on my social
media helped us write Today's show your
10 minutes of News starts now we begin
in Rome where they are bracing for a
slew of visitors in less than two weeks
millions of people will flock to the
Italian capital for the Jubilee a
jubilee year is a Catholic tradition
that takes place every 25 years and one
that began more than 700 years ago the
2025 Jubilee officially starts on
December 24th of this year when the pope
opens the holy door of St peters's
Basilica the Jubilee will end on January
6
2026 this year's theme is pilgrims of
Hope people from around the world are
expected to make pilgrimages to Rome to
participate the pope will be very busy
celebrating special Jubilee events
throughout the year and they will
highlight a variety of communities
artists health care workers volunteers
and youth all of this celebration is
going to be bringing in big crowds an
estimated 35 million tourists over the
next year when a lot of places in Italy
are already battling the hassles of over
tourism officials have been preparing
for quite some time construction took
over parts of Rome for months
infrastructure has been one of the main
points of focus and the Metro system has
been having major work done to ensure
people can move around easily the
Eternal City's most iconic sites have
also been getting extensive Renovations
the Trevy fountains major cleaning and
renovation gave tourists lucky enough to
snag a reservation a new perspective of
the landmark walking above it on
scaffolding let's get ready to hop on a
vesa with CNN's Antonia mortensson who
will give us a look at all the
preparations taking
place they say Rome wasn't built in a
day and that was certainly true in
2024 as construction took over the
ancient city to prepare for the Jubilee
a year-long celebration that takes place
here every 25 years and what better way
to see how those preparations are going
then with our local guide Ricardo on a
vaser how are you feeling about the
Jubilee next year are you ready for 35
million tourists well if you say if you
ask me like that it sounds like a lot of
people but I think it's going to be
something that we are prepared for now
we're driving on to P Vania and ahead of
us you'll be able to see a ginormous
Hydro M that that's 25 M tall and that
is able to excavate 80 M on the ground
what are they building here train fish
[Music]
underground and here it is how beautiful
so beautiful Rome has been racing to
finish on time with thousands of key
construction projects
underway Rome subway system is getting a
serious upgrade and right here in front
of the Coliseum a brand new station is
going to be built on top of via before
imperi as you can see we're right on top
of an ancient city which makes
excavation pretty difficult so how has
the last year or so been here in Rome
with the preparations it's been busy
it's been chaotic has been a little bit
frustrating especially for the everyday
traffic like being in a car is not
fun so it's actually much easier to get
around on the veser here in abely
absolutely I wouldn't change that for
anything in the world and perhaps the
most ambitious infrastructure project
here not far from the Vatican this whole
area is being turned into a pedestrian
Zone and all traffic is going to be
channeled
underground and so do you think that
Rome is going to be ready on time I'm
pretty sure Rome is going to be ready
yes I think everyone want to make Rome
look at its best and it's
working 10c trivia the rise of what form
of travel led to the creation of time
zones in the US and Canada plane travel
train travel Maritime travel or car
travel I thought it was going to be
plain but your answer is train train
travel surges in the late 1800s required
local time to be standardized into time
zones now the news about a new sleepover
train service gaining popularity in Asia
lots of folks are opting to travel from
be to Hong Kong by overnight high-speed
train the new line was launched this
summer and it's not quite as fast as
flying but these trains do have the
benefit of being able to board in one
city get a good night's sleep then wake
up in another CNN's Max berell shows us
what it's like to take a trip and a
snooze on the new sleepover
service this is one of two new
high-speed sleeper trains linking Hong
Kong and Mainland China it takes just 12
1/2 hours to complete the 1,2 100 M trip
from Beijing cutting Journey Times by
around half compared to previous sleeper
train services and while it's not quite
as fast as flying or daytime bullet
trains what it does offer is a night's
rest the journey from China's capital
begins at Beijing West railway
station running Friday to Monday the
sleeper is perfect for a weekend
break the train which can travel at over
100 155 mph is made up of 16 carriages
sleeper cars have cabins that
accommodate up to four
passengers while those who can do
without a bed can opt for regular
seating and there's a dining car
offering a range of food and drink
perfect for late night
[Music]
snacking the service runs on a section
of high-speed track in Hong Kong which
when it opened in 2018 marked the first
time mainland Chinese laws were given
jurisdiction in the territory and while
that caused some controversy arriving
well-rested by train is likely a welcome
alternative for many to navigating
China's notorious flight

delays today's story getting a 10 out of
10 Doner humanoids given the gift of
help with your mundane daily chores
we're talking AI robots that could clean
your room fold your laundry take out the
trash even pour you a cup of coffee each
morning although it might initially come
with a hefty price tag but I want to
pose a question to you as you'll hear
our Christy lose Stout explain some of
these robots could be autonomous but
others might have the ability to be
controlled by a person helping you do
your daily chores even from across the
globe would you do it if so why if not
what would be some of your biggest
concerns here's christe with an inside
look at a company working on humanoid
robo products that might one day be
living and working in some of our
homes how do you take your morning
coffee milk and sugar maybe a latte well
how about prepared by a humanoid robot
for those daily tasks no one likes to do
tech companies want to be the first to
take them off your hands and into the
hands of humanlike droids 1X is a leader
in the home robot race it's prototype
Neo able to handle as the company's CEO
puts it
the simple things now nothing simple in
robotics but uh the laundry Tiding
general
cleaning and everyday kind of household
tasks right and in addition it's going
to be a great companion you can talk to
it uh have good conversations it can
teach you things it can be entertainment
and it all comes back to AI in Neo's
case an AI brain and an engineered body
working together to make the household
companion feel more humid than humanoid
all of this is modern AI applied to
Robotics and what really is exciting
about Neo and the pilots that were
starting to roll out now is to have
these systems learn among people Neo can
also be controlled by people even from
across the world the CEO of 1x tried
living with an earlier version of the
company's humanoid he says it was useful
at the time but it wasn't a product he'd
pay for now Neo's future looks more
promising we're about to try this again
now and I'm super excited to see the
results so how much for your Sleek new
household Gadget well it will cost you
1X says just imagine what you'd pay for
your average new car but if you think
the practicality is worth the price you
could have a new roommate as soon as
2025 thanks to all of you for submitting
