WEBVTT	#Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.1.0

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.869
[THEME MUSIC]

00:00:11.378 --> 00:00:12.412
OMAR JIMENEZ: What's going on?

00:00:12.445 --> 00:00:14.714
From New York City,
everyone, I'm Omar Jimenez.

00:00:14.748 --> 00:00:16.950
And I am so happy to
be back here with you

00:00:16.983 --> 00:00:20.120
for another exciting
day of "CNN 10."

00:00:20.153 --> 00:00:21.388
Let's get right into it.

00:00:21.421 --> 00:00:24.257
If you search for this show on
the world's most popular search

00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:26.059
engine or if you're
watching on YouTube,

00:00:26.092 --> 00:00:28.728
then you've used a Google
product to get here.

00:00:28.762 --> 00:00:31.364
This week, Google is in the
news because the US Justice

00:00:31.398 --> 00:00:34.534
Department and eight states
have sued Google, accusing

00:00:34.567 --> 00:00:36.736
the company of harming
their competition in

00:00:36.770 --> 00:00:38.505
the online advertising market.

00:00:38.538 --> 00:00:40.273
For years, critics
have said that Google

00:00:40.306 --> 00:00:43.376
has exploited their power
and thwarted any competition.

00:00:43.410 --> 00:00:46.780
They say Google has used
anticompetitive, exclusionary,

00:00:46.813 --> 00:00:49.315
and unlawful means
to create a monopoly

00:00:49.349 --> 00:00:51.317
over digital advertising
and that they've

00:00:51.351 --> 00:00:54.821
acquired their rivals through
anticompetitive mergers.

00:00:54.854 --> 00:00:56.589
This move is the
Biden administration's

00:00:56.623 --> 00:01:00.093
first big antitrust case
against a big tech company.

00:01:00.126 --> 00:01:03.997
The eight states span both us
coasts and include California,

00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:07.634
Colorado, Connecticut, New
Jersey, New York, Rhode Island,

00:01:07.667 --> 00:01:09.536
Tennessee, and Virginia.

00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:11.671
And while lawmakers and
regulators have expressed

00:01:11.704 --> 00:01:13.773
concerns about
Google in the past,

00:01:13.807 --> 00:01:17.310
they failed to pass new
legislation or regulations.

00:01:17.343 --> 00:01:19.579
The last antitrust
complaint against Google

00:01:19.612 --> 00:01:22.982
was issued by the Trump
administration in 2020.

00:01:23.016 --> 00:01:25.652
So let's hear now from
CNN's Anna Stewart based

00:01:25.685 --> 00:01:28.021
in the London Bureau,
who has more on what

00:01:28.054 --> 00:01:30.523
we can expect from Google.

00:01:30.557 --> 00:01:32.459
ANNA STEWART: Allegations
that Google holds too

00:01:32.492 --> 00:01:34.761
much control are nothing new.

00:01:34.794 --> 00:01:38.098
But this latest legal broadside
from the US Justice Department,

00:01:38.131 --> 00:01:41.868
its first major antitrust case
under the Biden administration,

00:01:41.901 --> 00:01:44.070
has certainly ramped
up the pressure.

00:01:44.104 --> 00:01:47.440
Now, this complaint argues
that Google has actively

00:01:47.474 --> 00:01:50.710
and illegally dominated the
digital advertising market

00:01:50.743 --> 00:01:54.214
for many years, as detailed
by the US Attorney General

00:01:54.247 --> 00:01:55.615
in a press conference Tuesday.

00:01:55.648 --> 00:01:58.184
MERRICK GARLAND:
For 15 years, Google

00:01:58.218 --> 00:02:00.954
has pursued a course of
anticompetitive conduct

00:02:00.987 --> 00:02:05.024
that has allowed it to halt
the rise of rival technologies,

00:02:05.058 --> 00:02:08.061
manipulate auction
mechanics to insulate itself

00:02:08.094 --> 00:02:11.731
from competition, and force
advertisers and publishers

00:02:11.764 --> 00:02:13.333
to use its tools.

00:02:13.366 --> 00:02:15.268
ANNA STEWART: Now, the
lawsuit accuses the tech giant

00:02:15.301 --> 00:02:17.804
of controlling too
much of the ecosystem

00:02:17.837 --> 00:02:21.274
of digital advertising,
including three main areas--

00:02:21.307 --> 00:02:24.544
firstly, the technology used
by major website publishers

00:02:24.577 --> 00:02:28.515
to offer ad space, secondly,
the tools used by advertisers

00:02:28.548 --> 00:02:32.285
to buy that space, and thirdly,
the largest automated ad

00:02:32.318 --> 00:02:34.621
exchange, essentially
linking the publisher

00:02:34.654 --> 00:02:35.855
with the advertiser.

00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:37.757
The US government is
calling for Google

00:02:37.790 --> 00:02:39.759
to be broken up and
forced to spin off

00:02:39.792 --> 00:02:42.095
at least its online
advertising exchange

00:02:42.128 --> 00:02:43.997
and ad server for publishers.

00:02:44.030 --> 00:02:46.099
Google responded with
a statement saying,

00:02:46.132 --> 00:02:48.535
"today's lawsuit
from the DOJ attempts

00:02:48.568 --> 00:02:51.871
to pick winners and losers
in the highly competitive

00:02:51.905 --> 00:02:53.640
advertising tech sector."

00:02:53.673 --> 00:02:56.709
It goes on to say their flawed
argument would slow innovation,

00:02:56.743 --> 00:02:59.012
raise advertising
fees, and make it

00:02:59.045 --> 00:03:02.081
harder for thousands of small
businesses and publishers

00:03:02.115 --> 00:03:03.216
to grow.

00:03:03.249 --> 00:03:06.686
Google is not new to fighting
antitrust legal battles.

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.423
The DOJ sued Google for its
dominance in web searches

00:03:10.456 --> 00:03:11.658
in 2020.

00:03:11.691 --> 00:03:14.194
The EU Commission launched
an antitrust probe

00:03:14.227 --> 00:03:17.163
into its conduct in digital
advertising last year

00:03:17.197 --> 00:03:21.601
and has already fined Google
there times in antitrust cases,

00:03:21.634 --> 00:03:26.706
totaling more than
$9 billion so far.

00:03:26.739 --> 00:03:27.507
OMAR JIMENEZ: All right.

00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:28.575
10-second Trivia.

00:03:28.608 --> 00:03:31.578
What is the currency of
Russia called, the rupee,

00:03:31.611 --> 00:03:33.446
ruble, yen, or franc?

00:03:40.386 --> 00:03:43.756
It's the ruble, the
basic monetary unit

00:03:43.790 --> 00:03:45.158
of the Russian Federation.

00:03:48.795 --> 00:03:51.598
We turn now to Russia's
war in Ukraine.

00:03:51.631 --> 00:03:54.100
On February 24 of
last year, Russia

00:03:54.133 --> 00:03:56.436
launched a large-scale
invasion of Ukraine.

00:03:56.469 --> 00:03:58.605
And fighting there has
continued in the now

00:03:58.638 --> 00:04:01.241
nearly year ever since.

00:04:01.274 --> 00:04:03.209
On Wednesday, Ukraine
received what's

00:04:03.243 --> 00:04:05.345
being called a major
sign of support

00:04:05.378 --> 00:04:07.013
from the United
States and Germany.

00:04:07.046 --> 00:04:09.349
The nations both announced
that they're sending tanks

00:04:09.382 --> 00:04:10.883
to the front line in Ukraine.

00:04:10.917 --> 00:04:13.953
Germany plans to send
14 tanks, and the US

00:04:13.987 --> 00:04:17.590
is planning to send its
special Abrams tanks to Kyiv.

00:04:17.624 --> 00:04:19.959
Republican Senator Lindsey
Graham called the decision

00:04:19.993 --> 00:04:21.794
a turning point in the war.

00:04:21.828 --> 00:04:23.429
And President
Biden, in a speech,

00:04:23.463 --> 00:04:26.366
said the tanks will
enhance Ukraine's capacity

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.768
to defend its
territory and achieve

00:04:28.801 --> 00:04:30.436
its strategic objectives.

00:04:30.470 --> 00:04:33.673
The president also announced
a group of 50 nations that

00:04:33.706 --> 00:04:36.175
are making other
contributions in the form of

00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:38.344
military equipment and weapons.

00:04:38.378 --> 00:04:39.979
JOE BIDEN: As you all
know, I've been saying this

00:04:40.013 --> 00:04:42.949
for a long time, the expectation
on the part of Russia

00:04:42.982 --> 00:04:44.117
is we're going to break up.

00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:45.785
We're not going to stay united.

00:04:45.818 --> 00:04:49.055
But we are fully,
thoroughly, totally united.

00:04:49.088 --> 00:04:51.124
OMAR JIMENEZ: And though
there is no immediate reaction

00:04:51.157 --> 00:04:53.860
from Russian President
Putin, a Russian ambassador

00:04:53.893 --> 00:04:56.162
called Germany's
decision to send tanks

00:04:56.195 --> 00:04:58.998
an extremely dangerous
decision that

00:04:59.032 --> 00:05:02.402
would take the conflict to a
new level of confrontation.

00:05:02.435 --> 00:05:05.405
We'll hear now from CNN
International diplomatic editor

00:05:05.438 --> 00:05:08.741
Nic Robertson, who has more
on what to expect from Russian

00:05:08.775 --> 00:05:11.377
President Vladimir Putin.

00:05:11.411 --> 00:05:12.945
VLADIMIR PUTIN:
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

00:05:12.979 --> 00:05:16.382
NIC ROBERTSON: Putin's
biggest issue in 2023

00:05:16.416 --> 00:05:19.952
will be feeding his war in
Ukraine, both men and materiel.

00:05:23.222 --> 00:05:26.125
At a visit to an armaments
producer in mid-January,

00:05:26.159 --> 00:05:30.129
he commended workers for upping
output, three shifts a day,

00:05:30.163 --> 00:05:31.297
24/7.

00:05:31.331 --> 00:05:33.599
He told them they'd
be exempt from call up

00:05:33.633 --> 00:05:35.702
for military service in Ukraine.

00:05:35.735 --> 00:05:38.037
Hundreds of thousands
of military-age men

00:05:38.071 --> 00:05:41.274
fled Russia last year,
fearing conscription.

00:05:41.307 --> 00:05:44.811
More than 100,000 Russian
servicemen are already

00:05:44.844 --> 00:05:46.512
believed killed in Ukraine.

00:05:46.546 --> 00:05:50.817
It's the most unpopular
feature of Putin's war so far.

00:05:50.850 --> 00:05:54.654
More recruitment may spur
more resentment of him.

00:05:54.687 --> 00:05:57.056
But at the rate he burns
through soldiers on the front

00:05:57.090 --> 00:06:00.760
lines means that this dilemma
is only going to get worse.

00:06:05.732 --> 00:06:09.369
His second biggest issue will
be paying to feed the war.

00:06:09.402 --> 00:06:12.638
International economic
sanctions are beginning to bite.

00:06:12.672 --> 00:06:15.041
If they chew into Russian
citizens' pockets,

00:06:15.074 --> 00:06:17.009
then Putin has a problem.

00:06:17.043 --> 00:06:20.179
The dangerous high-wire walk
Putin is trying to pull off--

00:06:20.213 --> 00:06:23.516
keep the value of the ruble
up, keep people in jobs--

00:06:23.549 --> 00:06:25.485
it's only going to get harder.

00:06:25.518 --> 00:06:28.554
A cold winter next year,
impoverished Russians

00:06:28.588 --> 00:06:31.758
on the streets risked a
revolt against the war

00:06:31.791 --> 00:06:33.159
and Putin himself.

00:06:33.192 --> 00:06:36.362
And this will play into
Putin's long-range concerns

00:06:36.396 --> 00:06:41.033
in election 2024.

00:06:41.067 --> 00:06:43.936
In 2021, he signed
a law allowing him

00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:46.873
to remain leader until 2036.

00:06:46.906 --> 00:06:49.742
But he has built
a house of cards.

00:06:49.776 --> 00:06:53.246
Russian elections are
neither free nor fair.

00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.649
Putin has snuffed out dissent,
locked up opposition leaders,

00:06:56.682 --> 00:06:59.185
taken control of all media.

00:06:59.218 --> 00:07:02.288
But even that requires
mafia-style playing

00:07:02.321 --> 00:07:05.324
of Russia's power brokers
against one another.

00:07:05.358 --> 00:07:08.494
If he can't make gains in
Ukraine or worse, starts

00:07:08.528 --> 00:07:11.864
racking up losses, his
grip on Russia's power game

00:07:11.898 --> 00:07:12.698
could weaken.

00:07:18.471 --> 00:07:19.705
OMAR JIMENEZ: For
today's 10 out of 10

00:07:19.739 --> 00:07:22.508
News, a story as old
as time, the rivalry

00:07:22.542 --> 00:07:25.111
between cat and microwave?

00:07:25.144 --> 00:07:26.045
Yeah.

00:07:26.078 --> 00:07:28.080
Well, we have an insane
video to prove it.

00:07:28.114 --> 00:07:30.049
So I'm going to let
CNN's Jeanne Moos

00:07:30.082 --> 00:07:34.487
explain it from here with the
details of this epic story.

00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:38.024
JEANNE MOOS: There was nothing
micro about the epic battle

00:07:38.057 --> 00:07:41.694
waged by Bentley the cat
against this microwave.

00:07:41.727 --> 00:07:42.929
He yanked it.

00:07:42.962 --> 00:07:44.797
He physically moved it.

00:07:44.831 --> 00:07:46.899
He would have certainly
gotten into it

00:07:46.933 --> 00:07:49.502
if it weren't for the
child lock his owners

00:07:49.535 --> 00:07:51.604
put on it to keep him out.

00:07:51.637 --> 00:07:53.439
BRITTANY SCHIESL: His body
language while doing it,

00:07:53.473 --> 00:07:56.242
it doesn't seem like a cat.

00:07:56.275 --> 00:07:57.443
JEANNE MOOS: He's
got this physique.

00:07:57.477 --> 00:07:58.945
He's got like a great body.

00:07:58.978 --> 00:08:01.714
Using his legs
like arms, he might

00:08:01.747 --> 00:08:04.016
have pulled the microwave
right off the counter

00:08:04.050 --> 00:08:06.385
if the cord weren't plugged in.

00:08:06.419 --> 00:08:10.289
No wonder this sometimes
cross-eyed cat from Sheridan,

00:08:10.323 --> 00:08:14.427
Oregon has gone viral
with millions of views.

00:08:14.460 --> 00:08:17.263
Bentley has been obsessed
with the microwave

00:08:17.296 --> 00:08:20.600
ever since Brittany
Schiesl left pizza in it.

00:08:20.633 --> 00:08:22.368
BRITTANY SCHIESL: The
microwave is wide open,

00:08:22.401 --> 00:08:26.973
and the pizza is on the
floor and gone, pretty much.

00:08:27.006 --> 00:08:28.074
JEANNE MOOS: They
also had to put

00:08:28.107 --> 00:08:30.309
a lock on the kitchen
cabinets, where

00:08:30.343 --> 00:08:32.979
Bentley uses all four legs.

00:08:33.012 --> 00:08:35.681
Without the child
lock, we clocked

00:08:35.715 --> 00:08:39.318
him getting into the microwave
in eight seconds flat.

00:08:39.352 --> 00:08:42.855
Brittany says the appliance
is his best friend.

00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:47.326
This story reminds me of one
I did 27 years ago about Piggy

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.296
the Bull Terrier, who
got into the fridge

00:08:50.329 --> 00:08:53.366
so often his owner
had to keep it locked.

00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.601
- And then I stick
it through the hole.

00:08:55.635 --> 00:08:58.371
JEANNE MOOS: But when
it's cat versus microwave,

00:08:58.404 --> 00:09:00.973
sometimes the cat
moves the appliance,

00:09:01.007 --> 00:09:04.710
and sometimes the
appliance moves him.

00:09:04.744 --> 00:09:06.879
OMAR JIMENEZ: And
before I go, it's time.

00:09:06.913 --> 00:09:10.049
I want to give a huge
