hello sunshine and welcome to the show
I'm KY this is CNN 10 where I tell you
the what letting you decide what to
think happy Friday Eve hope you showed
up thirsty for some knowledge because we
have plenty of it to serve now we did
have some major breaking news yesterday
for the first time in more than a year
there will be a reprieve from war in God
the Israeli government and Hamas
agreeing to a deal to pause the fighting
in The Enclave with Hamas set to release
some hostages abducted during its deadly
October 7th terror attack on Israel our
reporters are all over the story we will
take a deep dive into it on tomorrow's
show we start first in California where
the etin and Palisades fires have been
ranked as the first and second most
destructive in Southern California
history respectively that's according to
officials at calire so far the total
area burned by the Palisades Eaton and
Hurst fires is roughly 60 square miles
an area larger than Paris calire says
the Palisades fire which has spread to
more than 23,000 acres is around 18%
contained and the Eaton fire which has
burned more than 14,000 acres is roughly
35% contained firefighters are still
facing challenging conditions in their
battle against the wildfires with
powerful winds picking up midweek the
national weather we service in Los
Angeles urged residents in the county to
remain on high alert and red flag
warnings remained in place but we are
seeing some reports that bring hope
conditions are looking up by the end of
the week winds are expected to calm and
welcome humidity could ease those dry
conditions that contributed to the
blazes by Friday after nearly two weeks
of the wildfires raging in intense
conditions the destruction and damage
has been absolutely heart-wrenching
officials say more than two dozen people
have perished in the fires and some
communities have been almost completely
decimated while the focus Still Remains
on beating back and containing the fires
many are beginning to return home to see
what's left while wondering what's next
CNN's Bill weers shows us how one
Southern California Community is
Reckoning with the Monumental task of
rebuilding in the parched Hills
Northeast of La the eaten fire cut a
brutal swath across multiple cities and
different kinds of
communities the Elliot Arts Magnet
School is in the Pasadena School
District and draws gifted public school
kids from the area and the area is
decimated block after block of Altadena
turned to Ash broken up by the
occasional Oasis of
survival
last like this end of Calera street that
was saved when a retired fire captain
and a TV set designer and son formed a
Bucket Brigade as Embers burned holes in
their clothes I mean it was so hot uh it
just I mean I had to come down off the
ladder and just stick my hands in the
bucket put the water on the back of my
neck and go back up the the
ladder John and his neighbor Kevin a
music festival producer are now putting
out hotpots as the relief is tempered
with worries about the future this is
the kind of neighborhood where a family
leaves out all their extra Citrus and
avocado for anyone to help themselves
Dan is the handyman who lives here who
tells me about 40 of his families have
lost their homes this is a mixture of
scientists from jet propulsion
laboratory and set designers costume
makeup people from Hollywood the kind of
place where they have tiny art galleries
so kids can share their creation and the
strength of this community will go a
long way when it comes to recovery the
question is how many people still want
in
there's going to be people that leave
it's going to be tough to live here this
is not going to get fixed overnight it's
going to take years if not a decade to
to feel like it was we've lost school
down the street uh churches uh a lot of
CH schools up north we drove around
yesterday for the first time and I mean
it's it's devastating I mean it's Bak
but they also focus on what's left
they've been laying eggs like feeding
the neighbors chickens that somehow
survived a frying and the blocks of wild
birds that now need their bird feeders
more than ever they love it we feel the
feeders went empty they go empty every
two days and they go empty at the end of
every day now wow we fed the crows the
crows came in this morning we gave them
apples yeah but there the birds are part
of the community too right so you want
it's nice having them around nice having
around you know and a little sign of
Hope yeah yeah you know which we all
need right now Pop Quiz H shot The Malt
cross medieval symbol of honor is known
around the world as an emblem of what
service police officers firefighters
doctors or
paramedics your answer here is
firefighters who Adorn their fire trucks
Badges and gear with the symbol that
originated during the
Crusades many of us know that
firefighters aren't just Heroes for
fighting fires they answer the call on a
number of emergencies like car accidents
natural disasters and some specially
trained firefighters could also be
called ice Fighters with winter weather
freezing over ponds in Kentucky the
Lexington fire department special ops
firefighters Gear Up in subzero dry
suits and simulate emergency rescue
scenarios in the hopes of saving lives
and we are getting a close-up look at
how these firefighting ice Specialists
train CNN affiliate WLEX takes us there
a day on the water is more lifesaving
than relaxing for This
Crew with area ponds finally frozen over
special ops firefighters have the chance
to train for a worst case winter
scenario and for us in the Leon fire
department what's go
mean you guys dressed train dressed
properly equipped going in huddled
around Captain Ryan hogston dressed in
expensive dry suits firefighters learned
the rules of ice rescue rules that also
apply to the public find somebody that's
stuck on the ice we Go By A Thing Called
reach throw and go once you've called
911 reach out to the victim with a stick
a ladder anything you can find throw a
rope or something to grab on to and go
that's the firefighters cue to jump into
action hogon says ice emergencies can
happen easier than you'd think just uh
last year we had an animal get out there
and a person went out to try to get him
and fell through the ice and that was
that was the whole thing but not every
department is equipped to respond of the
600 firefighters with the lfd only about
10% are trained for this type of rescue
these guys are regular firemen also but
also have an extra 400 hours of Rescue
Training to be able to do these type of
scenarios if they can save even one
person the training is worth it and on a
day like today a little break from the
pressure of real life emergencies well
that's priceless
[Applause]
today's story getting a 10 out of 10 is
a space race that's 321 blast off it's
mission moonlanding for two private
space companies early this morning a
SpaceX rocket launched a pair of lunar
Landers from texas-based Firefly
Aerospace and Tokyo based iace this is
Firefly's first attempt at a successful
landing and ipace is making a second
attempt after its first Landers
unsuccessful crash blasted a divot in
the surface of the Moon in 2023 CNN's
Ashley Strickland explains the new
beginnings of the new lunar Space Race
and what's to come in
2025 like Wall-E stowing away with Eve
2025 is kicking off with two competing
space companies launching lunar Landers
together a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will
carry Vehicles developed by texas-based
Firefly Aerospace and pan-based ey space
this launch marks the first attempt by
Firefly to put a vehicle on the moon if
successful fireflies Lander called Blue
Ghost will touch down about 45 days
after liftoff along a mountainous
structure called mons L tray the vehicle
will then conduct science experiments
utilizing technology that could be used
for future lunar missions for ipace it's
a second chance to achieve success after
its failed 2023 attempt that's when its
Lander crashed and blasted a divot in
the moon's surface due to navigation
issues the upgraded hakuto R spacecraft
named resilience will take a much slower
path than its launch partner taking four
to 5 months to reach the moon
fascinating to see the race to conquer
the next Frontier taking place and great
to see different countries working in
harmony along the way now it's time for
our best part of the show the shout out
and we are sending some love to The
Jayhawks at Urbandale Middle School in
Urbandale Iowa thank you for watching
the show fun fact if you're wondering
why you have never seen a jhawk in
person it's because it's a mythical
creature combining the blue jay and the
sparrow hawk it originated in the US
Midwest in the mid to late 1800s but in
1912 a cartoonist gave it shoes for
stomping the competition and that's when
it started to become desirable as an
official school mascot like the one we
see at the University of Kansas Jayhawk
Rock y'all have an awesome day I'm KY
wire I'll see you right back here
tomorrow on Friday
