people I'm Coy this is CNN 10 the best
10 minutes in news where I simply
deliver the what letting you decide what
to think we begin today with an update
on North Korea and Russia on Sunday a
train presumed to be carrying North
Korean leader Kim Jong-un reportedly
left the capital of Pyongyang on its way
to Russia why does this matter a highly
anticipated meeting between Kim Jong-un
and Russian President Vladimir Putin is
of concern for the United States and its
allies who fear the meeting might lead
to an arms deal where North Korea
supplies weapons for Russia's war in
Ukraine experts also fear that Russia
might provide North Korea with new
technology that could pose danger to the
United States and its allies also
significant this trip would be Kim's
first known trip venturing Beyond North
Korea's border since the covid-19
pandemic when the country had its
borders locked down while the two
countries have been secretive about the
meeting it's thought to be happening in
Vlad vostok a Russian city far to the
east where the two leaders first met in
the April of 2019. senior International
correspondent will Ripley based in
Taipei Taiwan has more
inside North Korea one of the most
secretive places on the planet a
carefully guarded state secret is leader
Kim jong-un's actual location major
events are often used as decoys crowds
can wait for hours enduring long
security lines only to find the leader's
seat empty
even Kim's own bodyguards can serve as
decoys best known for donning dark suits
running alongside the leader's limo
during the Trump Kim Summits projecting
power and security riding an armor
reinforced rail cards for Russia to meet
with President Vladimir Putin a fellow
strong man seen by some as a global
Pariah Putin and Kim come with plenty of
baggage both saddled with heavy
sanctions for Kim's nuclear and
ballistic missile programs for Putin's
brutal unprovoked war on Ukraine and
suspiciously timed plane crash taking
out his one-time critic Kim may not have
a reason to fear Putin but he still does
not take any chances when he travels
outside North Korea
as Moscow looks to buy artillery and
other wartime supplies from its
impoverished authoritarian neighbor
CNN contacted the Russian Embassy in
Washington for comment North Korea
denied previously supplying Russia with
rockets and missiles to use in Ukraine
in July Putin's defense minister Sergey
shoigo was in Pyongyang as Kim showed
off his latest weapons long-range
missiles and military drones choyo said
Russia may even be staging joint
military drills with the north the North
Korean leader has a lot to gain a large
power is now dependent on him that
hasn't happened in a while Kim may be
willing to roll the dice risking travel
outside his borders reducing the risk on
a slow-moving heavily fortified train a
shade of army green on the outside
luxuriously appointed on the inside the
train is a symbol of three generations
of the Kim family Dynasty and a nation
stuck in the past Kim has taken his
chugging locomotive to Vladivostok
before meeting with Putin there in 2019.
this time Kim May hope Russia will help
him with oil supplies or even technology
to use in its own ambitious ballistic
missile program goals perhaps worthy of
a rare Venture Beyond his nation's
hermetically sealed borders
Pop Quiz Hot Shot the atmosphere of Mars
is made primarily of what chemical
compound oxygen carbon dioxide methane
or Argon
if you said CO2 you are winning the
Martian atmosphere is over 95 carbon
dioxide
Mars has been the focus for several
space agencies and companies with
ambitions of taking humans to infinity
and beyond but humans aren't naturally
made to be multi-planetary movers the
conditions on the red planet Mars for
example would be pretty harsh for us
earthlings but many ideas some very wild
are being discussed as solutions to
making Mars livable one idea sprung from
NASA landing on Mars in 2021 with the
perseverance Rover it's called Moxie
short for Mars oxygen in situ resource
utilization experiment yeah I don't see
how that makes sense either anyways
Moxie's goal was to make oxygen right
there on Mars by converting the
abundance of carbon dioxide into
precious oxygen and the results of the
experiment are in the device no bigger
than a microwave generated 122 grams of
oxygen how much is that about what your
average small dog would Breathe In 10
hours or so so not too Shaggy questions
remain though will few future tests
confirm these results could the
technology be scaled to provide
astronauts with breathable air and how
much would this cost and is it even
worth it some question whether Humanity
should be focusing and spending on these
types of efforts when we could be
focusing on making our planet better
instead for the technology itself though
this is seen by NASA as a successful
experiment far exceeding their
expectations at its peak Moxie produced
12 grams of 98 percent pure oxygen per
hour twice as much as NASA hoped for so
this might mean that we are one step
closer to some people someday becoming
Martians
next up the U.S has around 150 000 U.S
Auto Workers in the United Auto Workers
Union and they could be gearing up for a
strike this week why if the big three
automakers General Motors Ford and
stalantis can't meet their demands which
include pay raises and better benefits
last week both sides started tossing
around their ideas and while they made a
little progress it might not be enough
to prevent union workers in various
States from hitting the picket lines if
their demands aren't met before their
contract expires if they strike it could
throw a major wrench in car production
here in the United States
[Music]
there's a showdown in Detroit
anyone Fair contract the United Auto
Workers Union is less than a week away
from a possible strike against the big
three U.S automakers General Motors Ford
and stalantis
team up what would be the second largest
U.S labor strike in a quarter Century
UAW says their demands have not been met
waiting nearly a month on new proposals
I'll tell you what I want to do with
with their proposal I'm going to file it
in its proper place because that's where
it belongs the trash
tensions have been high between the two
sides the union representing 145
000 workers at the three automakers even
filed unfair Labor practice complaints
against GM and solantis accusing the
companies of not bargaining in good
faith which they deny these negotiations
are serious and they matter
the outcome impacts all of us every team
member and quite frankly every
stakeholder across the country
for the first time ever the UAW could
strike all three automakers at once the
last strike in 2019 against General
Motors cost the company 2.9 billion
dollars over six weeks a strike against
all three could mean 5 billion dollars
in losses in just 10 days we respect
their process and are hopeful that they
are going to Grapple through some heart
issues and hopefully come to an
agreement that's a win-win the union has
some ambitious demands asking for a 40
pay raise over the course of the
four-year contract restoring cost of
living increases and pension plans for
all workers
they've had our demands from the outset
and we told them we expect to get there
by September 14th and that is September
14th a deadline not a reference point
and as the big three pivot to electric
vehicles they're planning 10 new battery
plants not under UAW contracts the union
is hoping these next contracts protect
their members in the future workers
can't be left behind in this transition
you're talking about 20 percent of the
powertrain workers in the big three the
stand to lose their jobs down the road
if we go from Ice engines to the battery
power Vanessa urkovic CNN New York
