time for motivation Monday have you ever
heard of the story of the Chinese bamboo
tree seed is planted and nothing happens
for almost five years after lots of
watering and care though something
amazing happens it shoots up about 90
feet in five weeks about three feet per
day so whenever you feel like you're not
seeing any progress just keep pushing
keep believing in something magical just
might happen I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10
and we start with the ongoing conflict
in Sudan Africa on Saturday President
Joe Biden said that the United States
government personnel and their families
had been evacuated from the U.S embassy
in Khartoum the clashes between rival
military groups there have become way
too dangerous so according to defense
Department officials a group of more
than 100 Special Operations forces made
a fast and clean extraction pulling out
around 100 people from the war-torn
country battles between the Sudanese
armed forces and the rapid support
forces or rsf erupted earlier this month
after failed negotiations in integrating
the groups and over the distribution of
power between the generals the World
Health Organization reported Friday that
413 people had been killed thousands
more injured U.S officials say they'll
continue efforts to bring an end to the
violence and work to extend the
ceasefire to which both sides agreed
during a religious holiday though there
are reports that the fighting still
continue during that time CNN's Oren
Lieberman has more
a successful Mission carried out in the
dark of night in Sudan to evacuate the
U.S embassy in Khartoum according to U.S
officials three Chinook helicopters took
off from Djibouti some 750 or 800 miles
away from Khartoum flew into the country
landed secured the embassy and then
brought out all of the embassy staff and
their family members a group of just
under a hundred people U.S officials
said they do hope there's an opportunity
here ceasefire that holds a resolution
between the two warring parties there
and an opportunity to reopen the embassy
but that is an enormous question as the
fighting there enters its second week
the U.S was looking for a window of
opportunity a ceasefire that holds
essentially to be able to evacuate the
embassy itself and the weekend brought
that opportunity with the Eid little
fitter holiday the two warring parties
committed to the cease-fire even though
there were reports of violations of that
ceasefire now a large question what
about all the U.S Nationals the private
citizens who remain in the country and
there are thousands of them or in

10 second trivia which of these
locations in the Florida Keys translates
to purple Island Key Largo Key West Isla
Morada or Marathon
Isla Morada is your answer here it means
purple Island in Spanish and this place
is known as the sport fishing capital of
the world
healthy coral reefs are essential to a
healthy Marine ecosystem well after
watching coral reefs disappear over the
20 years he lived in Florida one man
decided he wanted to build him back but
he knew he couldn't do it alone so he
co-founded Eye Care and recruited other
divers to help rebuild reefs in Florida
one Coral at a time meet Mike Goldberg
one of our CNN Heroes

the minute you go diving the fish are
right in your face the interaction with
that marine life is unlike anything I'd
ever experienced
you're close up and person with all the
animals all the fish that Lobster the
crustaceans
the keys in general the ocean the coral
reef the marine life used to be the best
anywhere
the thriving coral reef is incredibly
biodiverse multiple species of coral
multiple species of fish invertebrates
all living happily together it's kind of
buzzing when you get down there there's
just so much activity
I can tell you what a dying and
struggling Reef looks like easily
because it's what I see most of the time
now due to the water quality issues
Rising temperature acidification
attracts algae and then in 2014 there
was something we called Stony Coral
tissue loss disease that is incredibly
virulent
once you lose the coral
there's nothing there it's a literal
underwater desert
good morning you ready for the afternoon
uh yeah you got 14. cool let me go get
the tanks off the Whip and we'll get
them out to the boat
when I got out of University I started
working in the financial services
industry
[Music]
I was chasing money the whole time it
just wasn't true to my core
so in 2004 we moved to Islamorada here
in the Florida Keys and opened up a Dye
shop
we've lost so much Coral since I moved
here 20 years ago it truly is a pretty
devastating number
what I saw here was so sad that I just
wasn't sure how to solve the problem I'm
just one guy who's watched all of this
loss but then he said you know what I'm
going to do something I'm going to try
something it's not in me to walk away it
wasn't in me to just leave it to someone
else to do
our organization Eye Care focuses on the
rebuilding of the coral reefs here in
the Florida Keys you can see over on the
side here all that's new growth
they like to grow
Dr Smith my co-founder is a brilliant
scientist without her none of this
happens
[Music]
our goal is to make our reefs
self-sustaining and that it requires
putting down resilient coal so what we
do is we'll take multiples of that small
piece of core put them close together on
a dead coal head they fuse and once
they've fused they're now large enough
to spawn in five to seven years so we
are speeding up that process
the Aquarius absolutely need human
information to help there is no way this
reef is going to bounce back all on its
own
I knew the only way that I could make it
work is through the power of the
recreational dive Community I'm not a
scientist but what I can do is tell the
world of divers that are out there let's
band together
foreign
certified diver with recent dive skill
is able to come out with us
and plan Coral if you guys didn't know a
coral is indeed an animal a new diver to
Eye Care will start the day with a coral
Workshop they will learn why we're doing
what we're doing they'll learn the
history of the reef Coral morphology the
science behind the corals
they will have a Hands-On Workshop where
they actually put Coral in their hands
that was once living learn how to attach
it that looks great welcome to moat's
Nursery and they get a tour of the cool
Nursery here on Shore here is some fancy
Alcorn so critically endangered right
and they get to go out and plant Coral
the great reward for me is to see the
corals that we put down that's the fruit
of our labor we're seeing it work
anyone could have done this and why
isn't everyone taking up arms it's
simple it's not complicated
I'm happy that I get to be part of
something that you know
maybe a solution
I wake up every day
and say look what I didn't do
[Applause]
prom season is in the air and some
promposals are getting to be a pretty
big deal so today's story getting a 10
out of 10 is about a creative kid from
Parkview High School in Orfordville
Wisconsin Ryan Hazeltine wanted to ask
his girlfriend to prom in a big way so
he used a big canvas using a tractor and
a disc he spelled out prom on his
family's farm and he didn't use a
protractor to make those perfect letters
or any other kind of measurements he
just eyeballed it he used a drone to
virtually fly his girlfriend Abby
Anderson way up for a bird's eye view
and it was an easy yes for Abby now if
you're getting nervous about your
promposal don't worry just keep prom and
carry on special shout out to Atlanta
