hello sunshine happy Friday fry yay i'm
Ky this is CNN 10 it's time to rise up
and finish this week strong first though
I posed a question yesterday asking if
any of you have ever met an Elvis or an
Oprah because as famous as those celebs
are you just don't see many other people
with those names and Mrs sinclair up in
Hazen North Dakota shout out to you for
submitting Elvis Stoko the famous
Canadian figure skater well done all
right now let's get your 10 minutes of
news where I simply tell you the what
letting you decide what to think we
start in Gaza where thousands of
Palestinians took to the streets this
week to protest Hamas the militant group
which controls the enclave the rare
demonstrations appear to be the largest
protest against the militant group since
its attacks on Israel on October 7th of
2023 they took place just 2 days after
Gaza's health ministry says the death
toll from the conflict there reached
50,000 lives gaza is home to 2.1 million
Palestinians and has been under Hamas's
control since 2007 the group insists
that Israel is an occupying power and
that it is trying to liberate the
Palestinian territories over the years
Hamas has claimed many attacks on Israel
and has been designated as a terrorist
organization by the United States the
European Union and of course Israel
northern Gaza has been hard hit by
military offensives launched by Israel
in response to Hamas's October 7th
attacks 17 months of war and a failed
ceasefire have reduced much of the
enclave to rubble making it difficult
for aid agencies to reach the battered
north gazins are frustrated by the
devastation they are enduring including
renewed Israeli attacks on the strip
that have killed hundreds of people and
Israel's halting of all humanitarian aid
to the enclave protesters told CNN they
blamed both Israel and Hamas for the
hardships they face our Samantha Lindell
shows us what the protests were like
video verified by CNN shows large crowds
marching through the streets in northern
Gaza chanting "For God's sake Hamas out
Hamas terrorists and we want an end to
the war." It's the largest anti-Hamas
demonstration in Gaza since the start of
the war between Israel and Hamas in
October
2023 the protests come just 2 days after
the war's death toll surpassed 50,000 in
Gaza according to the territo's health
ministry
gazins in this enclave are also facing
severe shortages of resources according
to the UN no food water medicines or
fuel have entered Gaza in the first 3
weeks of March since Israel halted all
aid deliveries which the country claims
Hamas often steals the militant group
denies those allegations
[Applause]
authorities in South Korea are fighting
to contain what they call one of the
country's worst ever wildfires since the
weekend dozens of fires fueled by dry
air and strong winds have quickly spread
in the southern part of the country the
fires have taken the lives of dozens of
people including a pilot whose
helicopter crashed while trying to
contain the fires and thousands of
people have been forced to evacuate in
one county a Buddhist landmark that
stood for more than a thousand years was
destroyed by the flames our Mike Valerio
in Seoul has
more a piece of history burned to the
ground this was the scene at South
Korea's Gona Temple a place of worship
for 1,300 years destroyed by wildfires
flames surrounded the Buddhist temple
complex as wildfires spread across the
south of the country over the past week
what now remains are mounds of ash and
rubble our Buddhist followers are very
proud of our temple because this is such
an old temple it is so regrettable and
heartbreaking that it has been burned
down some of the artifacts like this
stone Buddha which has been designated a
treasure by the state were spared as
they were moved to other temples ahead
of the
fires the blazes first broke out last
weekend several people have been injured
and killed so far including civil
servants dispatched to fight the fires
according to the Interior Safety
Ministry and for those who have escaped
unharmed there are still losses to
bear things that remind me of my youth
disappeared without a trace photos of my
children when they were young that
sometimes I look at to reminisce about
the past are all gone and for my
children there's no place to share
memories with them i lost my memory of
youth south Korea's acting president
Hanukku called these wildfires South
Korea's worst ever he said that they are
being fueled by gale force winds and he
added that all available resources
nationwide are being
deployed authorities are continuing to
work around the clock to contain the
fires before more of South Korea's
history is gone
forever pop quiz hot shot what mammal
belongs to the genus surus from the
Greek words for shadow and tail beaver
squirrel fox or red
panda if you said squirrel you are
correct all tree squirrels are part of
the genus seurus within the family
[Applause]
surai today's story getting a 10 out of
10 is Salto the jumping robot squirrel
if you've felt like robot dogs were
getting too much of the spotlight lately
check out Salto this hopping jumping
leaping robo critter as agile as the
squirrels wreaking havoc in your
backyard our Luis Mclofflin shows us how
the squirrel inspired robot could
actually have important scientific uses
in the future
a robot that can parkour like a squirrel
they're the you know most agile animals
from nature biologists and engineers at
University of California Berkeley worked
together to make a robot that can do
just that meet the hopping and now
balancing robot STO i actually have it
here with me justin Yim now a professor
at University of Illinois Urbana
Champagne worked on the one-legged
jumping robot during his time as a
student at UC Berkeley yim worked
alongside professors like Robert Full
and other students to translate
squirrels leaping and landing patterns
to salt we realized that we had this
great synergy in exploring both jumping
robots and jumping squirrels and decided
to work on this project together the
results a robot that can stick a landing
on a narrow rod just like the furry
rodent justin was able to do something
that you know no other robot could do
jump from branch to branch like it the
next leap for Solto to get around in
complicated environments where humans
have difficulty or where it's dangerous
for humans to go or eventually explore
far away places like Saturn's moon
Enceladus if a robot can jump 4t high
here it could jump like an entire
football field on Enceladus and that
means that it might be really good at
covering lots of very challenging
terrain quickly yim is now embarking on
a NASA funded project to see if a robot
like Sto can one day land on that icy
moon this all thanks to squirrels and a
one-legged robot all right we've made it
to the end of the show and the week and
I want to thank all of you who've been
subscribing to our CNN 10 YouTube
channel we are so close to hitting the 1
million subscribers mark so huge shout
out to all of you who've joined the
family rise up i have a shout out for
the Bobcats today at Bonum Academy in
San Antonio Texas i see you and I will
be seeing you in San Antonio in about a
week with my cowboy hat on at the men's
final four giddy up cue that Friday
music not air shine bright this weekend
you never never know when or how or
where but you just might be the light
someone needs one day you are more
powerful than you know i'm Koi Wire and
this is CNN 10
