smell the flowers and cool the soup and
let's lock in for the next 10 minutes of
news we start with world news out of
South Korea where president yunsuk Yol
is under mount pressure to resign after
plunging the country into Political
chaos and uncertainty Yun declared
martial law late Tuesday night accusing
the country's main opposition Democratic
party which has a majority in Parliament
of sympathizing with North Korean and
anti-state activities under martial law
all political and civilian activities
stop like rallies protests even
legislative functions while the military
is granted temporary rule during an
emergency in South Korea the president
has the Constitutional ability to
declare martial law but it was a risky
move for embattled president Yun his
popularity plummeted since he took
office in 2022 after a number of
scandals and with the opposition gaining
a majority he's been in a stalemate in
the legislature unable to deliver on
campaign promises to cut taxes and ease
business regulations after the surprise
decree Yun faced an immediate backlash
from lawmakers and citizens alike people
took to the streets in protest Furious
lawmakers forced their way past soldiers
stationed to block entry into Parliament
190 lawmakers a majority voted to strike
down the decree and within hours
president Yun caved reversing the
martial law decree in a statement and
withdrawing troops deployed to carry out
the order the Fallout from yun's decree

staff

questions remain around the future of
yun's presidency his party's Rule and
what happens next in one of the world's
major economies and a major United
States Ally next to Eastern Europe where
days of protests have rocked the country
of Georgia we're going to get a glimpse
of the scenes unfolding in the nation's
capital to bissi the government has put
a pause on the former Soviet country's
widely popular bid to join the European
Union protesters have been met with a
violent police Crackdown CNN's Linda
concade explains why tensions have been
rising in the fight over the country's

80% of Georgians support joining the EU
a longtime goal of the country that's
enshrined in its Constitution it's just
the fact that my country deserves to be
free from the Russian regime that has
haunted us for many centuries and I
believe that we need to get into Europe
it's truly what we've wanted for many
many
centuries but that path has become less
clear lately critics say the country's
ruling Georgian Dream party has become
increasingly
authoritarian and in recent years has
moved away from the West deepening ties
with Russia which the party
denies 10 second trivia which pasta name
translates to little worms in English
Linguini udon vermicelli or
fili if you said vermicelli you are
correct it comes from the Latin word
verme which means worm
many of us face an almost daily dilemma
craving salty sweet or savory ultr
processed snacks over healthy ones even
though we know processed foods aren't
good for our health guilty so what is an
ultra processed food they're foods that
have been significantly changed from
their original state by the addition of
artificial flavors and colors
preservatives sweeteners emulsifiers you
get it CNN's Meg Terrell caught up with
researchers trying to unravel why Ultra
processed foods lead to a lengthy list
of issues like diabetes obesity heart
disease and why it's so hard to stop
eating
them Sam's rat has been living in this
hospital room at the National Institutes
of Health for two weeks do you have like
wearables on like tracking everything
yes so I do have a couple of these
sensors he's not sick he's a participant
in a clinical trial one of the first of
its kind measuring his movement his
blood his gut microbiome even the air he
breathes all to try to better understand
how our health is affected by ultr
processed foods oh I think your food's
coming
in we saw the kind of food he got it had
eggs and spinach and yogurt but we don't
know that could be processed it could be
unprocessed U that's part of the trial
ultr processed foods contain additives
and ingredients you wouldn't find in
your own kitchen they were shown in a
previous NIH study to drive overeating
and weight gain according to research Dr
Kevin Hall are ultr processed foods Just
Junk Foods what we often think of as
junk Foods probably captures a big chunk
of the ultrapress foods uh kind of
category but there's a lot of things
that people would be surprised that are
in the ultr processed foods category and
you know could potentially be healthy
for you so things like whole grain
breads that you might buy from the
supermarket most of those are considered
Ultra process because of some of the
additives and preservatives that are in
there as well as how they're
manufactured there's a lot of debate
about whether or not all Ultra processed
foods uh are bad for you and that's what
this trial is trying to find out what
are the mechanisms what is it about this
category of foods that is driving people
to over consume calories Dr Hall's team
has two ideas about what might be
causing people to overeat some ultr
processed foods their energy density or
how many calories are in each gram of
food and their hyper palatability when
foods contain just the right
combinations of salt sugar fat and carbs
to make us not want to stop eating them
[Music]
this is where they prepare all of the
food and they don't just prepare it they
weigh it before it goes up and when it
comes back after the participant has
eaten each day participants in the trial
are offered a total of 6,000 calories
and researchers measure how much they
choose to eat the trial is a month long
and each week has a different diet
minimally processed or different kinds
of ultra processed Sam was in an ultr
processed week during our visit but one
with Foods Dr Hall doesn't expect will
drive drive him to overeat how is that
Ultra processed it's all based on the
ingredients so the eggs that we used in
that omelette the egg whites were a
liquid egg product so it has ingredients
in it that make it Ultra processed it's
not just egg our yogurts the pancake
syrup that was in the yogurt those all
have Ultra processed ingredients in
terms of um added flavors added
sweeteners the next day Sam would switch
to meals that were more energy dense and
Hyper palatable the ones expected to
leave to overeating so you can see that
these are all foods that um they're
Ultra processed and you can see that the
volume compared to this is quite
different as well W that is really
illustrative I mean just looking you
need two trays of food for this one and
one tray of food for this next diet when
you're getting the same number you're
offering at least the same number of
calories correct yes once a week Sam
spends a full day sealed in this
metabolic chamber
do you know what they're measuring in
there I think they're measuring how much
O2 I consume and uh how much scaron
dioxide I released the air he breathes
in and out can tell researchers how many
calories he's burning and whether
they're coming from carbs or fat all to
help understand what Ultra processed
foods really do to our
