Hello superstars and welcome to CNN 10.
Koi is on vacation this week. I'm
Isabelle Rosales filling in for the big
man and I'm so excited to be here to
share the best 10 minutes of news in
this summer Friday edition. Let's get
started. We begin today in the Middle
East where it has been one full week
since Israel launched an unprecedented
offensive attack on Iran. The Israeli
operation launched heavy air strikes
against Iran's nuclear program and
military leadership. The goal is to stop
what Israel called Iran's progress in
developing nuclear weapons. Iran struck
back soon after launching quote hundreds
of ballistic missiles and what state
media said was part of a quote crushing
response. Israeli emergency services
says dozens of people were injured in
those strikes. Since then, the two
countries have continued to trade
attacks. As of this taping, Iran's
latest wave of air strikes damaged a
hospital in southern Israel, plus
several high-rise buildings east of Tel
Aviv. In Iran, dozens of Israeli fighter
jets struck a nuclear facility southwest
of Tran during a series of nighttime
raids. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu vowed that his country's
operation would continue to target
Iran's nuclear program, but Iran insists
its nuclear program is peaceful. So,
which is it? Our Tom Foreman breaks down
what we know so far.
For decades, Iranian leaders have been
building a nuclear program, which they
say is for research and to generate
electricity. Indeed, just days ago,
Iranian leadership reiterated they have
no intention of building a nuke. But
intelligence and military analysts say
Iran has long been stockpiling refined
uranium, developing more powerful
missiles, and mining the technical
knowledge of allies, including Russia,
with hopes of someday becoming the
world's 10th nuclear armed nation. The
Iranians are definitely much closer than
they were five or 10 years ago. And it
is certainly true uh that they've gotten
a lot closer to deploying a weapon of
this type than they were even a year or
two ago. How big would an Iranian nuke
be? Some analysts suspect it would pack
about 2third of the explosive power of
some bombs developed by the US in the
1940s and50s. US intelligence predicts a
viable weapon could still be years away,
but the Israelis argue it might come
much quicker. We decided to act because
we had to. We saw enough uranium,
enriched uranium for nine bombs and all
they had to do was weaponize them.
Netanyahu did not offer specific
evidence. The Israelis have made such
claims before and the complete equation
is more complicated. Any Iranian nuke
would have to be miniaturaturized enough
to be carried by a missile, plane, or
other delivery mechanism.
It would need to evade Israel's robust
detection and defense systems, and it
would have to work. But if just one made
it through, it could obliterate uh a
large portion of a major city. Uh it
could make a port unusable. It could
[ __ ] communications, shut down
electricity, and poison the land with
radioactive fallout. And so far, plenty
of analysts note a lot of Iran's nuclear
infrastructure is deep in the ground
where Israeli bombs can't reach it.
Right now, Iran, if they were left
alone, could reconstitute their program
very quickly. Again, the Iranians say
they have no plans to produce a nuclear
weapon, even as the Israelis say they
just can't take their word on that.
Can't afford to be wrong about the
nuclear aspirations of their old foe.
Not even once.
Now to a fascinating inside look at
artificial intelligence and deep fakes,
a manufactured video of a person in
which their face or body has been
digitally altered. Now the term deep
fake comes from AI deep learning
technology and fake obviously addressing
that the content is not real. And as
artificial intelligence gets better at
creating more realistic deep fakes, the
technology to detect them is not keeping
pace with what is real and what is not.
Now, I got to speak with a cyber
security expert who showed me how this
technology can fool deep fake detectors
and what you can do to protect yourself.
Watch. It's Isabelle from CNN. I've just
launched a new newsletter on how to get
10x returns on your crypto investments.
Just click on the link. That sounds like
my voice. I mean, that's unbelievable.
Yeah, that was within a few minutes.
Deep fake technology is getting faster,
cheaper, and more realistic. Line in
Louisville, Kentucky. It killed two and
public figures that are so real even
they can't tell the difference, making
it easier than ever to create scams or
spread misinformation. I was using just
websites. So that had like a window
would let me upload your video that I
wanted to clone, upload the audio that I
had created and it would just mash those
together. It used to take a lot of time.
Now it's really mere curiosity and a
little bit of persistence. AI companies
have created deep fake detectors, but
this cyber security expert says they
have serious limitations. Anyone that
promises that one-click type of answer
is wrong. I can upload things that I
know are deep fakes cuz I made them and
they'll say that they're likely
authentic. Maybe their hearts are in the
right place, but I think that it has the
very real potential of creating a false
sense of security. As a test, Carpenter
ran my deep fake video through a
detector that used several different
models. One of them said it was 56%
suspicious. All the other ones though
said no deep fake detector. They're
saying that it's in the green. No deep
fake detected. And then one that's 56%
suspicious. What does that even mean?
Then we tried a different detector. This
time using only my AI generated voice.
Yeah. Probability 98% that it was
generated. So it caught it. Yep. So it
caught it, which is exactly what you
would hope for. And then I'm going to
add all the sound effects and everything
else that's going to contribute to the
story. These sounds are like the
interior car sounds. So, here's one of
them.
And you get probability 5.3. Same audio
clip that was 100% AI generated, but you
added some ambiance to it. And now it
fold it and it thinks it's real. I think
somebody that's not thinking about this
with nuance would go, "Oh, it's probably
real." Yeah. And that took no effort.
deep fakes are getting better and
better, more believable, and the tools
that maybe I thought would help me
figure it out, uh, may not be so
helpful. It's not necessarily as
hopeless as it might appear on the face
of it. There's security practices that
have been around for decades, if not
hundreds of or thousands of years. If we
have set up some kind of code word, I
can ask you that. It's simple human
things like that that we're going to be
able to use until the technology catches
up.
10-second trivia. In the sport of
hockey, what is it called when a player
scores three goals in one game? Is it
hattick, power play, triple play, or
shut out?
If you said hat trick, well, hats off to
you. Originating in the sport of
cricket, it gained popularity when fans
would collect money to buy the player
who scored three points an actual hat to
commemorate the achievement. The Florida
Panthers have just won the Stanley Cup
for the second time in a row. Back-to-
back crowns have both come at the
expense of the Oilers, this time in six
games. And Koi got a chance to go
toe-to-toe with the Stanley Cup itself.
It is one of the most unique trophies in
all of sports, named after Lord Stanley
of Preston of the late 1800s. And it has
some wild traditions. Take a look. The
Stanley Cup, one of the coolest trophies
in all of sports, in part because of the
wild traditions, like the players
avoiding it like the plague before
winning it. They think if they touch it,
they'll be cursed. But once they do win
it, each player gets to take it for a
full day and do whatever they want with
it. This thing has been found at the
bottom of swimming pools. It's been left
on the side of the road. In ' 87, Mark
Messier of Edmonton took it clubbing.
The Rangers in '94, they took it to the
Kentucky Derby fed the winner, Gopher
Jin, out of the cup. And Chris Draper in
Detroit in '08, put his baby daughter in
it. Baby daughter accidentally turned it
into a potty. That stinks.
The Craft Hind company just announced
that it plans to remove all artificial
colors from its foods within two years.
The maker of Craft Mac and Cheese, Hines
Ketchup, Jell-O, and Lunchables also
says that it will not release any new
foods in the US that contain artificial
dyes. Several states have banned these
dyes, and Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has
pushed companies to get rid of them.
This summer, we've been sharing awesome
advice from graduation speakers at
universities nationwide. And today, we
get a few words of wisdom from comedian
and actor Steve Carell. Now, you may of
course recognize him as the voice of
grew in the Despicable Me franchise, or
as Michael Scott from The Office. He
took to the lect turn at Northwestern
University. And well, let's just say he
makes a couple of laughs with life
lessons by reminding graduates that real
strength is not about being loud or
tough. It's about treating people with
care and respect. My topic this morning
is kindness.
So, please just shut up and listen. I am
kind. Or at least that seems to be a
common misconception about me. Remember
that kindness isn't a weakness. It is a
very potent strength. The best way to
see and understand another human being
is to listen. To listen is to show
respect.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
real life example of one man's trash is
another man's treasure. A scrapyard
sorder in Missouri started his day just
like any other when he spotted a glint
of gold and purple that wasn't scrap
metal at all. In fact, it was a purple
heart metal. That is the highest honor
given to soldiers who were hurt or
killed in war. That purple stood out the
most. It stood out like a sore thumb. We
get coins through this thing cuz you
know cars have coins in them and and
they're unrecognizable. I mean quarters
are bent in half and this thing's
completely whole. The ribbon's still on.
After a lot of detective work and a
little help from ancestry.com, the
scrapyard found the medal belonged to
World War II veteran Charles Joseph
Hall, who earned it back in 1944. He
enlisted right out of high school and
wanted to be a paratrooper, but they
moved him to infantry and uh then went
to u Europe and was killed 6 months
later. His family hadn't seen it in
years. But to honor the veteran,
ScrapMart didn't just hand the medal
over. They actually flew the family to
San Diego to their national convention
to honor the care and respect of their
employee and the sacrifice of a nation's
hero. All right, superstars. Time for
the best part of the day. This week's
shoutouts are going to Plaque Valley
Academy in Gley, Colorado. Thank you for
watching during your summer program. And
to Mrs. Gallagher at Olympic View Middle
School in Muckleio, Washington. Happy
last day of school and thanks again for
tuning in this week. Koi will be back
from vacation soon, so be sure to check
us out again next Friday. And of course,
have a wonderful weekend. We are CNN 10.
