what's up sunshine it's time to shine
I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 and it's
your CNN 10 especially on a hashy word
Wednesday remember to keep an ear out to
see if your vocab word made it into
Today's Show we begin in Russia where
President Vladimir Putin will continue
his Reign Over the country after easily
winning Russia's election this past
weekend according to the central
Election Commission Putin received about
87% of the vote but us and European
countries are dismissing these results
because serious opposition candidates
were banned exiled or even jailed since
1999 Putin has served as either Russia's
president or its prime minister and will
now continue to rule the nation until at
least the year 2030 let's turn now to
our senior International correspondent
Frederick Plein who has more on Putin's
dominant
Victory a landslide victory for Vladimir
Putin that was never in doubt securing
the Russian president a fifth term in
office and solidifying his grip on power
with a record 87% of the
vote there are a lot of tasks ahead of
us but when we are Consolidated and I
think now it is understood to everyone
no matter how hard anyone tries to
frighten us whoever tries to suppress us
our will our Consciousness no one has
ever managed to have done such a thing
in history both the US and European
countries are condemning the election
any serious opposition candidates were
banned in advance and descent
effectively
outlawed and yet a surprising show of
defiance with protesters targeting
dozens of polling stations across the
country setting fire to ballot boxes
pouring dye into
others while in Berlin Germany thousands
turned up at the Russian emby following
calls from the opposition to swarm
polling
stations including Julia naala Widow of
the late opposition leader alexe Naval
who died suddenly in an Arctic penal
colony last
month navalia said she wrote her
husband's name on the election ballot
and has vowed to continue his
work and in his postelection address
Putin uttered naval's name for the first
time claiming he would have agreed to
Rel lease him in a prisoner
swap backlash not just from the US and
its allies Ukrainian President Vladimir
zinski describing the election as quote
a
sham these days the Russian dictator is
simulating another election there is no
evil he will not commit to prolong his
personal power and there is no one in
the world who is safe from
this Russia's Ally China though was
quick to congratulate Putin's reelection
saying it quote fully reflects the
support of the Russian
people with no one standing in his way
Putin is now on course to rule for as
long as Soviet dictator Joseph
Stalin next up Health news measles the
incredibly contagious disease is on the
rise in the US measles can lead to very
serious complications like pneumonia or
swelling in the brain the good news is
that the measles vaccine is considered
one of the most protective but in other
news vaccination rates in the US have
been declining earlier this week the US
Centers for Disease Control and
prevention or CDC issued a health alert
about the increased risk and how best to
protect yourself CNN's Meg Terrell
explains there have been measles cases
in 17 states in the United States so far
this year Illinois being one of those
measles is an incredibly contagious
virus if people haven't been vaccinated
it's a Airborne virus and it can linger
in the air for two hours after somebody
infected has left the room and it's so
contagious that if people aren't
vaccinated nine out of 10 susceptible
people will get infected with the virus
if they are exposed vaccination Works
incredibly well 93% uh Effectiveness
with one dose of the vaccine 97% with
two doses of the vaccine unfortunately
the vaccination rate uh in the United
States among kindergarteners has been
going down
over the past few years so Health
officials are worried uh that more
people are susceptible to measles and
are emphasizing that vaccination is the
safest and best way uh to be protected
from this virus Pop Quiz hot shot in
which decade was the term artificial
intelligence used for the first time the
1950s the60s the 70s or the
80s if you said 1950s ding ding ding
Dartmouth professor John McCarthy is
credited with coining the term with
three other researchers at a summer
workshop in
1956 some 68 years after the term
artificial intelligence was not much
more than a vague concept AI as we know
is popping up in our daily lives
everything from schools to the workplace
to the fre f f to the club that's right
Virtual DJs and CNN spent the day with a
British startup that makes what they
call AI integrated digital humans
including a DJ that performs at shows
around the world and we wanted to show
you all this new idea because we want to
hear from you let us know what you think
are these advancements a good thing
Simply Fun and harmless or as some
believe are they hurting us in the long
run and taking away jobs from real life
humans combining 3D technology from the
world of gaming with voice cloning and
motion capture Liverpool based startups
some Vivas are now creating digital
human avatars integrated with artificial
intelligence hi hello everyone
I am Dex the UK's first AI integrated
digital human in the performance space
it's gamechanging the DJ that I managed
Dex last in the last two weeks has
performed in New York Paris and Milan
we're creating new music so we're
actually working with record labels we
are working with promoters on shows uh
we're working with Brands now to do
influencer type brand
collaborations utilizing digital humans
integrated with AI helps to bridge the
gap between technology and
people they're available 24/7 365 they
don't take holidays they have the
ability to be multilingual and they
learn and remember every conversation
but should we be worried about ai's
integration into the world world of work
we do see the dreams that have taken
over the headlines the past year the
generative AIS the chat Bots the llms um
all kinds of applications are emerging
but alongside I think there is this fear
of um skills replacement so when we rely
on automated um tools what skills are we
losing in the process AI is absolutely
not scary it is part of our future we're
moving to a stage where digital humans
will start to become just another member
of the team with added benefits for that
team and obviously the customers they

serve today's story getting a 10 out of
10 did you know that today is the
international day of Happiness back in
2012 the UN General Assembly marked this
day to recognize the importance of
happiness and well-being meditation can
be a key of being happy according to the
Center for healthy Minds a study showed
that two weeks of daily meditation for
30 minutes a day can help bring more
positivity to the brain now maybe this
sounds impossible to you but Dan Harris
who's the author of the book 10% happier
explains why anyone can Embrace
meditation even if their mind at times
seems like a cacophony of thoughts and
sounds the whole goal of meditation is
just to pick one thing to focus on
usually it's the feeling of your breath
coming in and going out
and then every time you get distracted
which will happen a million times you
just start again and again and again and
this noticing the distraction and
starting again this is like a bicep curl
for your brain and it's what shows up on
the brain scans of people who meditate
and so getting distracted is not proof
that you're failing it's proof that
you're doing it correctly why because
the whole goal of this practice is to
get more familiar with the wildness of
your mind so that it doesn't own you as
much what that that oh yeah congrats to
Mrs Miller's world history class at St
John school in Ash deula Ohio for their
hashy word Wednesday winner cacophony a
harsh mixture of sounds thanks for
making us smarter today now to the best
