what up sunshine welcome to CNN 10 hope
you had an awesome weekend we've got a
stacked show for you today so let's Jump
Right In and we start with some news in
space there's a serious situation
unfolding 250 miles above Earth the
International Space Station or ISS which
is about the size of a football field
has been experiencing air leaks the
leaks in its Russian section were first
spotted in 2019 but have recently gotten
worse the space station needs to
maintain its air pressure to keep
astronauts safe the problem is located
in a tunnel connecting a Russian module
called zvezda to a docking port where
the spacecraft delivers supplies NASA is
very concerned about the structural
Integrity of the space station and his
warning of serious consequences NASA
added extra emergency seats to their
SpaceX spacecraft in case of an
evacuation on the other side though
Russia's space agency Ross Cosmos
maintains that fears of catastrophic
failure are unrealistic Russia has
actively searched for and repaired
problem areas reducing leak rates and
have concluded that operations can
continue safely despite disagreements
NASA and roscosmos continue to work
together closely they've taken the
precautionary step of keeping that
section sealed off unless they need to
access it the ISS has been continuously
occupied by astronauts since 2000
scientists conduct research that helps
us understand things like how to grow
food in space and how diseases behave in
zero gravity the station had planned to
operate until at least 2030 but this
situation is Raising important questions
about its
future 10c trivia where was the
Declaration of Independence signed
Boston New York Philadelphia or
Washington DC
on July 4th 1776 the Continental
Congress signed the Declaration of
Independence in Independence Hall in
Philly in Philadelphia an iconic
American ocean liner is going to sink on
purpose the SS United States once the
holder of the transatlantic speed record
will soon transform into the world's
largest artificial Reef after sitting
idle for nearly 30 years this legendary
vessel that carried presidents the Mona
Lisa was going to find new purpose on
the bottom of the Gulf of
Mexico in Philadelphia off an industrial
road behind shopping centers and
surrounded by fence there's just
something that she evokes an energy a
majestic American work of art sits
waiting for its final Journey to the
bottom of the ocean oh I'm heartbroken
I'm really heartbroken to see this
happen this is AIC America's Flagship
the SS United
States a glorious ship bigger than the
Titanic nearly as long as the Chrysler
Building and 70 years ago the United
States burst into
life could there be a greater name for
the world's greatest ship the ocean
liner carried four US presidents stars
and celebrities and even transported the
Mona
Lisa but her crowning achievement was
breaking the transatlantic speed record
in 1952 her owners were awarded the
hail's trophy the designer William
Francis Gibbs knew then she was a
masterpiece and today his granddaughter
knows it too this is where my
grandfather was when the ship smashed
the transatlantic speed record on her
maiden voyage Susan Gibbs leads the SS
United States Conservancy a nonprofit
which has fought for years to preserve
the ship this was a big public area
there was a library here but the SS
United States has sat dormant in
Philadelphia for nearly 30 years you
just see the bow of the ship pointing
toward Lowe's and Ikea and you just
think she is ready to bust a
move this year after legal battles and
economic headwinds the ship was evicted
from its Pier we were on a furious
search for an alternate parking spot
scanned the scanned the nation and
unfortunately we're unable to secure
another spot for her partly because what
makes her so amazing she's so big makes
her challenging to to
dock instead this fall a county in
Florida purchased the United States to
sink her in the Gulf of
Mexico I don't even think of it as
purchasing it to sink it I think of it
as to um welcoming it into our family
the goal to turn her into the world's
largest artificial Reef helping the
environment attracting divers for years
to come and in a way preserving
her if we don't don't do anything with
her she'll be
scrap and so I always remember that and
then being here today I I I got a little
teary eyed because I was like could you
imagine if this went to the scrapyard I
mean we are going to pay as much respect
to her as we possibly can we prevented
her from being scrapped and we're very
excited about her next chapter she she
will live on in a different way I've
been paying this ship as long as I've
been in Philly in her final days a float
in Philly admirers stopped to pay
tribute in their own ways kind of
heartbreaking to see it go having spent
so much
time observing it and appreciating it
perfect Landmark down here it is that
time of year again in Alaska where the
sun's going to set and not rise again
for two months here to explain the
incredibly awesome phenomenon called
polar night is our incredibly awesome
meteorologist Ali chinchar that's right
koi every single winter in the Northern
Hemisphere any town or Community inside
the Arctic Circle this red ring you see
here goes through a phenomenon called
polar night where the sun sets and
doesn't come back for two months one of
those towns in particular this one ukic
formerly known as Barrow Alaska we'll
have the sun go down just before 2 p.m.
local time on Monday and it doesn't come
back until January 22nd of next year
that is 66 straight days where the Sun
never fully rises above the Horizon and
they're not alone any of those towns
inside the Arctic Circle will see
something similar now here's the flip
side though koi come summertime we see
the opposite something known as The
Midnight Sun where the sun comes up and
doesn't really go below the Horizon for
two months as well all right our next
story is about a group of preschoolers
digging in helping to keep their island

[Music]
kids my name is sna chetti I am the
director of montaur international school
located here in the seal
montar International School is a
preschool for children between 0 to 6
years old the first years of life I
think is the most important to everyone
that's when we're really absorbing the
most and that's when we're learning the
most from our
environment so for the last few days
we've been going around with the kids to
teach them a bit about our atols and
also why we need to protect it a recent
study estimated that more than 500 tons
of marine plastic debris have
accumulated on alabra the largest of the
SE shells atos about 1,000 km Southwest
of Mah Island so we have lot of plastic
L collected along the beaches and this
is Marine debris and they have terrible
terrible effects on the ecosystem
bringing the kids out in nature it
builds a certain love and acceptance to
Nature and more than it is about
conservation it is is also about their
growth and development and how in touch
they will be as they grow older to
animals to
