[music] What's up, sunshine?
Thanks to Miss Castilli, Miss Ray, and all of my besties, or shall I say vesties at Baldwin in Austin, Texas.
Thumbs up for the creativity with each of your thumbrints.
And this impeccable.
I am Koi Wired.
It's time to shine with your CNN 10 minutes of news.
We begin in Ohio where a hazardous situation has been unfolding after a chemical tank exploded in Toledo.
The blast Tuesday night came after a chemical leak, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate their homes, while others within several miles were told to shelter indoors because of concerns about toxic fumes.
Some residents said that the chemical haze was so thick they initially thought there was a fire.
I assumed it was a house fire.
And when I opened up the door and and and first peaked out, I realized it was something different.
And that's when I grabbed my phone.
And then when my nose started burning, I knew exa it was definitely something different.
It was a s It was the smell was so was so bad.
I I literally had to cover my my mouth and my nose.
That's how bad it it was.
The company that owns the tank says it contains glycodil methacrylate, an industrial chemical used to help make certain plastics, paints, and coatings.
Health officials say exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
The city's mayor says the exposure is not expected to cause a lasting health disturbance.
Officials say the leak was due to a quote error that occurred when the material was being transferred.
As of this taping, first responders, hazmat, and safety teams hadn't been approaching the tank in case there would be more explosions.
And here's your knowledge drop.
Some chemicals that are stable as liquids can become far more dangerous if they heat up, vaporize, or react unexpectedly.
Which is why emergency crews aren't just fighting what they can see.
They're monitoring what's in the air.
In the past 5 months, there have been evacuations, even deaths across the US after chemical leaks or explosions in Southern California, Washington State, and a recycling plant also in Toledo just two months ago.
Pop quiz hot shot.
What country is the world's largest coffee producer?
Brazil, Indonesia, Colombia, or Ethiopia?
If you said Brazil, you are no average Joe.
Brazil produces roughly onethird of the world's coffee.
And if you like sugar in yours, they've got you covered there, too.
Brazil is also the world's biggest producer of sugar cane.
Millions of workers in Brazil, Latin America's largest economy, are getting something many people around the world would love, an extra day off.
As Brazil heads to the polls this weekend to elect their next president, the nation's Senate has voted to reduce the country's work week from 6 days to 5, from 44 hours to 40 without reducing pay.
It's Brazil's largest labor reform in decades and is expected to affect more than 35 million workers.
Brazil is following a growing trend across Latin America after Mexico, Chile, and Colombia recently passed similar laws to cap hours and benefit workers.
The move is seen as a big legislative win for incumbent President Lula Dilva, who's currently seeking a fourth non-consecutive term.
He's currently locked in a tight race with Senator Flavio Bolsinaro, the son of former President Jaier Bolsiniro, who Lula defeated in 2022.
The two face off in a runoff election this Sunday.
You've probably heard of Apple's newest phone officially launching tomorrow.
The tech giant isn't just upgrading, it is folding it in half.
The iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable smartphone, but some might say it comes with about 2,000 problems.
First, it cost 2,000 bucks.
And what about the engineering challenges?
How do you make a screen bend thousands of times without cracking?
But could it design make it more useful or just more expensive?
Apple gave CNN's Lisa Edico one to take for a test fold.
This does feel sort of like an iPad, but not quite.
This is the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable iPhone.
And this is a really big deal for Apple because it's the first time the iPhone has had a significant change like this in its nearly 20 year history.
So, I thought the Duo was going to feel more awkward, but it's really about the same size as a passport.
And just for comparison, this is the latest foldable from Samsung, which has been a leader in the foldable market so far.
I'm going to be using the iPhone Duo as my regular phone for the next week to see how it holds up.
So, this is my first full day with the iPhone Duo.
I am currently in the car driving down to Cape May.
I've been using the iPhone Duo on this trip to read the news, scroll through social media.
It is nicer to kind of have this much bigger screen that feels more like a tablet.
But it does make it a lot easier to read.
And so far, I'm not really noticing the crease that much at all.
I thought it would be a little bit more noticeable the more that I've used it, but so far so good.
Let's take it out for a run.
I'm pretty impressed with how light this felt while I was running.
It actually didn't feel any different than if I was running with my regular iPhone.
Next up was the Cape Mayu where I put the camera to the test.
The camera doesn't feel as awkward as you think, and sometimes it was nice having the bigger screen as a viewfinder.
I liked being able to prop up the phone to steady my shot, but the zoom isn't as good as what you'd get on the iPhone 18 Pro.
But be warned, the inner camera behind the display isn't great.
Photos can look dark and kind of grainy.
By day three, I was thinking about different creative ways to use the front screen, like dragging and dropping photos from my gallery to a text message at dinner.
This is day five with the iPhone Duo, and we're about to hit the road to head home from Kate May.
We have a pretty long car ride coming up, which is the perfect time to play some games on the iPhone Duo.
This is one of the games that is actually optimized for this big screen.
As you can see, it takes up the entire display almost edge to edge.
But as I've been testing this phone, I've actually noticed that a lot of apps aren't optimized for that bigger screen because developers still need to update their apps.
So, after using the iPhone for about a week, I've been wondering why is Apple releasing a foldable iPhone now?
I think part of that might come down to the fact that Apple has faced pressure to prove it can still innovate and build on the success of the iPhone.
Will the iPhone do be that answer?
We'll find out when the phone launches on October 23rd.
>> From the revolutionary streets of the 18th century to modern political demonstrations, classical music has always been a key tool for political mobilization.
The lyrics were used as a way to spread news, rally citizens, and empower demonstrators.
Now amid the political unrest in France over the surging cost of living and the lack of government funding for education, the orchestra dunu vomand or the orchestra of the new world is tapping back into their revolutionary rhythms.
Our Ivana Scata explains how >> these musicians have joined protest in France by providing the soundtrack.
For us, uh, symphonic orchestra should be wherever it's more useful, and today it's in the streets.
The goal of the orchestra, uh, of the new world is to politicize classical music and bring it to the heart of the struggles.
And we want to turn the orchestra into a space of gathering and collective power.
>> The orchestra Nuomo says they're committed to social and climate justice in France.
We are not here to use classical music to rehabilitate the image of the movement, but we want to empower it.
We want to empower it because we believe in the power of classical music.
The protest started in support of striking teachers and in the past month, tens of thousands of people, including students and unions, have taken to the streets across France with some demonstrations turning violent.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.
Scientists in London inventing a solution to pop a realworld pollution problem.
The newly established Bioloon says that they have developed the first balloon that is biodegradable or something that can be broken down by bacteria and fungi and is turning it into natural substance like water, carbon dioxide or nutrients.
The team says bioloon is made from rubber that has been treated to break down organically.
While natural latex is a fluid that comes out of a latex tree, it becomes rubber through a process called sulfur vulcanization.
And that is the process that has toxic chemicals which can leech into the environment.
>> So existing latex balloons in their current form have a terrible impact on the environment.
They're responsible for killing over a million seabirds every single year, 100,000 sea turtles, and they leech carcinogens and toxins into our environment.
>> Bioloon plans to develop more biodegradable party balloons, then move on to latex gloves, medical devices, even clothing and apparel.
All right, superstars, shout out time.
Our first one is going to Mrs.
