lovely people I'm koi this is cnn10 you
are awesome and we have places to go and
things to learn from Africa to Alaska
and few stops in between welcome to the
best 10 minutes in news we start in
Libya the country at the top of Africa
if you're looking at a map right between
Tunisia and Egypt next to the
Mediterranean Sea last Sunday Libya was
hit by a rare type of storm called a
medicane a combination of the words
Mediterranean and hurricane and the
deadly storm dumped record-setting rain
on Libya with more than 16 inches in
some places over a 24-hour span the rain
strained two aging dams near the eastern
city of Darna which has a population
roughly the size of Bend Oregon Abilene
Texas or Allentown Pennsylvania both
dams burst last week and water
overwhelmed entire districts of Darna
destroying homes and businesses sweeping
them away or even burying them with mud
as of this Sunday the death toll across
Libya was all over the place with
Outlets reporting anywhere from 4 000 to
20 000 people and that's because the
damage has been so severe and widespread
and whatever that number is Thousands
more are still missing this is the
deadliest flood to hit any African
country in more than a century our
International correspondent Larry madoa
has been following the story and is
learning for us the factors and scale of
This Disaster
the Eastern Libya city of dharna might
never be the same even with the best of
efforts to rebuild the UN warning that
the catastrophic flooding led to an
unprecedented humanitarian crisis there
we will never know the exact number of
people that were killed when Strom
Daniel dumped unprecedented levels of
water here bursting two dimes and entire
neighborhoods washing into the sea into
the Mediterranean in the absence of any
proper coordination between Libya's two
rival governments ordinary libyans have
been doing what they can including
donating blood and they're also aware of
the divided country that they live in
we feel sorry for those who lost their
lives and we ask God Almighty that he
take pity on the others unfortunately we
hate to admit that this catastrophe has
highlighted the fact that we do not have
a state capable of dealing with a crisis
of the scale even though rescue efforts
continue it's been a week since the
flooding happened so the chances of
finding survivors alive is very limited
Libyan State media say 891 bill
buildings are completely destroyed there
another 211 buildings are partially
damaged and 398 others submerged so this
brings to almost 15 percent of buildings
in derna that were affected by this
flooding the African Union chairperson
is calling on other African member
states the International Community to
offer more support because that's what
so many people need here at the same
time the U.N warning that about 40 000
people have been displaced and as
they're on the move they are exposed to
landmines and explosive ordinances of
war after more than a decade of conflict
in the country so it's just a mixture of
the most terrible conditions possible
Nairobi
let's move now to Central America in the
country of Panama where there's not
enough water in the Panama Canal the
iconic Waterway and that's due to an
ongoing drought the canal was built more
than 100 years ago and it connects the
Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean it's
a valuable shipping route that saves
vessels a lot of time and along more
dangerous Journey down around the
southern tip of South America let's go
to our CNN International correspondent
Patrick opman who explains how we might
all be affected by the water levels on
this 50-mile route
the Panama Canal is running low on water
a persistent drought caused in part by
the El Nino weather pattern has left
water levels dangerously depleted now
the global supply chain is under threat
as their holiday season approaches the
80 kilometer Waterway connects the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is a
vital route for transporting goods
handling an estimated five percent of
World Trade the canal was completed in
1914
revolutionizing how Goods could be
transported and further expanded in 2016
to meet the skyrocketing demands of
global Commerce but over the last 20
years decreasing rainfall has reduced
the water level of Panama's Lake gatun
from 27 meters above sea level to 24
meters Canal officials have imposed
draft restrictions forcing ships to
light in their load a ship's draft limit
is a minimum depth of water it can
safely navigate and if a ship is
carrying too much cargo it risks getting
trapped in the canal
since many ships have had to reduce
their cargo by as much as 25 percent the
Panama Canal Authority has also limited
the number of vessels authorized to
enter the canal each day creating a
bottleneck with some ships waiting as
long as 14 days to get through as of
Tuesday 116 vessels were waiting to pass
the canals administrator warns the
number of authorized vessels could
decrease further if the drought
continues into next year this has led to
Rising freight costs which are likely to
continue in the months leading up to
both Christmas and the Chinese New Year
the canals administrator has said the
drought could wipe away 200 million
dollars in Revenue in 2024 and he says
they may need to build a new dam or
connect the canal to another nearby lake
to keep water flowing
10 second trivia can you name the third
largest U.S state with the state motto
Eureka is it Texas Alaska California or
Montana
California is your answer here and
Eureka means I found it
[Music]
Eureka the state motto might be used by
firefighters in California quite often
now they fight thousands of wildfires
across the state every year and now
thanks to artificial intelligence they
might have a better way of finding those
fires before they get out of control CNN
Stephanie Elam has more
in California where wildfires are a
constant threat firefighters want every
Advantage they can get on a Blaze before
it becomes an inferno while I was asleep
in bed my phone dinged Cal Fire Scott
slump got that leg up while testing new
technology in July when he got a text
message with a link to this video of a
fire that started in the middle of the
night deep in the California Wilderness
The Dispatch Center there was not aware
of the fire but something else was
artificial intelligence Cal Fire in
partnership with UC San Diego's alert
California program and its network of
more than one thousand cameras across
the state is using the technology to
recognize a fire early on the next
morning that fire would have been a fire
of significance instead firefighters
were dispatched immediately knocking The
Blaze down before it did major damage so
the fires that you don't hear about in
the news is the greatest success of this
the these cameras are the new eyes for
firefighters these two position more
than five thousand feet above sea level
can see across this massive Southern
California Valley and they're really
adding Precision to the spotting of
wildfires compared to more traditional
ways like this Lookout station where I'm
standing with this new AI technology
they can often spot wildfires more
quickly than the human eye can here's
how it works look at this image could
you spot a fire probably not but notice
that red box on the right side that's
where artificial intelligence has
detected a faint column of smoke the
pilot program works so well that Cal
Fire recently expanded it to all 21 of
its dispatch centers where an official
will validate the imagery to make sure
it is not just dust or clouds our goal
as an agency is to keep 95 percent of
our fires at 10 acres or less so this
tool increases our ability to ensure
that we're keeping those fires small and
the AI is constantly learning each time
a human confirms or corrects what it
detects the technology adapts do you
think that it's making a difference and
how you're able to protect the
population absolutely this technology
won't replace people Cal Fire says
nothing can take the place of the boots
on the ground
but can help First Responders stop fires
before they explode in my opinion save
lives and property Stephanie Elam CNN

for today's 10 out of 10 we finish in
Malden Alaska where a family of bears
had a Eureka moment of their own they
stumbled upon an unattended Krispy Kreme
donut delivery van with a door wide open
so Mama Bear and her cub went donut
diving 26 packages of donuts getting
dominated despite workers trying to
scare them away some advice for you do
not try to prevent any burglaries like
this if you see one going down now it's
time for me to be the bearer of good
news for some folks in Moorhead
Minnesota today's shout out goes to
Horizon Middle School you rock thanks
for subscribing and commenting on our
CNN 10 YouTube channel let's all go out
and do something to make this world a
bit of a better place today even if it's
just making someone smile today I'm koi
and I'll see you right back here
