hello everyone welcome back to cnn1 I'm
K Koy wire hope you had an awesome
weekend and you enjoyed falling back
feeling refreshed after turning back
those clocks getting an extra hour of
sleep we had daylight saving time in the
Wei hours of yesterday morning and for
the two states that don't do Daylight
Saving Arizona and Hawaii sorry to bring
it up hope you're still feeling fresh
and ready to start this week off strong
all right tomorrow is election day in
the US so the next two episodes will be
election themed special editions
examining America heading to the polls
today though let's start by checking in
on the country of Spain which is
recovering from what their prime
minister says is the worst natural
disaster to affect the country in recent
history more than 200 people have been
killed hundreds more still missing this
after storms concentrated over the two
river basins and produced walls of water
that overflowed Riverbanks catching
people off guard late Tuesday evening
and early on Wednesday CNN's atika
Schubert has more on the
situation in a dystopian scene of
Spain's deadliest floods in decades
dozens of cars and debris are piled on
top of what was a railroad in eastern
Spain with a Year's worth of rainfall
plummeting down in just hours on Tuesday
hundreds of people have been killed
according to authorities and the death
toll is only expected to rise the
extreme weather has caused a surge of
water to break Bridges damaging homes
and cars along the way with the floods
turning gray roads into a muddy Brown
These satellite images taken less than
two weeks apart show the sheer level of
Destruction the floods have left behind
but now armed with broom sticks and
shovels locals have been coming in
droves to clean up the streets some tell
us how they turned up just to help we
wanted to help because we know there's a
lot of people and suffering so
we told to our friends and we decided
to bring clothes and everything and with
water there have been widespread
concerns about official Warning Systems
many residents saying they were alerted
too late
the storm hit in the morning but the
water didn't get to us until 8: in the
evening yet nobody warned us nothing
nobody
cared at 70 years old I had to go with
these old clothes to change but I
haven't even been able to take a
shower this Children's School was also
affected by the tragedy its interior
severely damaged you can see just how
high the waters were more than chest
High higher than a child and this is a
school all of this equipment we are told
was brand new and it's been completely
destroyed by the mud and the flooding
from the river Spanish prime minister
Pedro Sanchez has called this Spain's
worst natural disaster in a century and
EU officials warned of The flood's Wider
implication a tragedy like this one is
not just a Spanish one it really affects
all of us in in in Europe in the wake of
the destruction the Spanish government
says it has deployed more than a
thousand soldiers to help the clean up
and rescue efforts but as more rainfall
is expected in the coming days
meteorologists say this human-made
crisis is only going to get worse next
we get a bit of food for thought from
one of the greatest athletes the world
has ever seen Superstar gymnast Simone
biles and her Olympic teammate Jordan
Charles I caught up with them recently
to feature them in our new CNN series
Visionaries by now you likely know the
story as young girls Simone and her
sister Adria spent time in foster care
before being adopted by their
grandparents Nelly and Ron biles whom
they now call mom and dad Simone began
gymnastics at 6 years old bursting onto
the world scene in 2013 before making
her Olympic debut 3 years later in Rio
at the age of 19
all right speaking of youngsters I had
to spin through the old CNN archives
2017 no and Simone you shared um what
you would have told your younger self
you said if I could say anything to my
younger self it stopped being so stuborn
um because I was a very stubborn kid um
very crazy too so so I think that kind
of halted a bit of stuff but I think it
turned out for the best with everything
that's happened since that seven years
later here yes what would you tell
yourself now still I feel like there are
times where we give a lot of push back
because we're so afraid of what's going
to happen so to just not be anxious and
to relax a little bit obviously there's
more that goes on behind that but we are
so grateful to be in a position where we
have amazing resources to help us um so
it's just like for me now it's just
being vulnerable and asking for
help Simone's close friend in teammate
Jordan Childs is a two-time Olympian in
Tokyo in
Paris now at the age of 23 she's found
herself Center Stage like never before
including beside Simone on the gold of
her America Tour post
Paris Jordan what would you tell your
younger self my younger self uh I
definitely could say just to understand
the word no I did have a lot of times
where I would just say yes to everything
and being able just to follow the path
that you wanted to go in and not really
what everybody is creating for you um
and always just let people in I think
that's where the help comes in the play
cuz I when I was younger I did not want
help from anybody um but just you know
to really look back and be like okay
your journey and your path is something
that you should write for yourself and
kind of just let it ride in the way that
you want it to ride and you know I look
at my life as puzzle just put the puzzle
pieces in the right spot and just let it
all create itself so I'm happy that now
where I am now I'm able to actually say
that cuz when I was younger I think that
was something I you know I was silent so
I couldn't really speak how I wanted to
speak that's powerful yeah the the
vulnerability comes into play for sure
10 second trivia what US president is
featured on the dime Franklin D
Roosevelt Abraham Lincoln George
Washington or Grover
Cleveland if you said FDR you are
correct the 32nd president of the United
States has been on the front of the dime
since
[Applause]
1946 today's story getting a 10 out of
10 when is a dime not worth 10 cents
apparently when it's worth half a
million bucks because it's missing a
single letter our Jeremy Roth
explains take a look at an ultra rare
dime that just sold for half a million
dollar let me explain normally the
ubiquitous 10cent piece is well a dime a
dozen so to speak nothing special but
according to auction house great
collections this 1975 dime is a very
rare exception indeed why because of
this the absence of a tiny letter s that
adorns all dimes struck at the US proof
mint in San Francisco see there it is
right there great collections says the
sess dime is infinitely rarer with this
error it's certainly more interesting or
should I say
interesting in fact it's one of only two
examples known to exist and was
purchased by an Ohio family in 1978 and
held for almost 50 years before being
consigned and garnering more than 200
bids ultimately selling for a record
setting
56,000 and change see what I did there
all right Superstars time for the best
part of the show you shout out time now
and this one goes to Lou Academy lboro
Alabama we hope you and everyone
watching have an awesome day let's rise
up and do it again tomorrow I'm KY wire
