WEBVTT 00:11.360 --> 00:12.880 Good morning, good afternoon, good 00:12.880 --> 00:14.559 evening, wherever you are in this world. 00:14.559 --> 00:17.199 Go on and smell the flowers, cool the 00:17.199 --> 00:18.960 soup. Let's take 10 minutes to get 00:18.960 --> 00:20.640 caught up on our news. I'm Koi Wire. 00:20.640 --> 00:22.560 This is CNN 10, where I simply tell you 00:22.560 --> 00:24.560 the what, letting you decide what to 00:24.560 --> 00:27.680 think. We start today in Iran where now 00:27.680 --> 00:29.760 we have a clearer picture of who will be 00:29.760 --> 00:31.359 leading the country following the death 00:31.359 --> 00:33.920 of Supreme Leader Ali Kamani. The 00:33.920 --> 00:35.520 Iranian government has announced that 00:35.520 --> 00:38.879 Hamani's second son, Muchaba Kamani, 00:38.879 --> 00:40.559 will succeed his father as the country's 00:40.559 --> 00:42.719 new Supreme Leader. He'll take over a 00:42.719 --> 00:44.480 role his father held for nearly four 00:44.480 --> 00:47.520 decades before being killed in USIsraeli 00:47.520 --> 00:49.920 air strikes last month. It's a move that 00:49.920 --> 00:52.160 US President Donald Trump has previously 00:52.160 --> 00:54.719 indicated would be quote unacceptable 00:54.719 --> 00:57.199 and Israel has pledged to target any 00:57.199 --> 00:59.840 successor. Our Isabel Jung has more on 00:59.840 --> 01:01.600 the implications this pick could have 01:01.600 --> 01:04.159 within Iran and throughout the region. 01:04.159 --> 01:06.880 >> Mushtaba Hami is Iran's declared new 01:06.880 --> 01:09.920 head of state. The spiritual leader for 01:09.920 --> 01:12.320 a brutal regime his father came to 01:12.320 --> 01:15.280 embody before he was slain by Israel and 01:15.280 --> 01:18.240 the US in joint strikes. alongside his 01:18.240 --> 01:20.880 father, Mushtaba's mother and wife were 01:20.880 --> 01:25.880 also killed in USIsraeli air strikes. 01:27.200 --> 01:29.759 >> The signal regime is saying is sending 01:29.759 --> 01:32.560 is continuation. Uh we're still holding 01:32.560 --> 01:35.119 together. It's more of the same and in 01:35.119 --> 01:37.840 fact we're going to become even more uh 01:37.840 --> 01:41.439 hardliners than uh we were before. uh 01:41.439 --> 01:44.079 all the military pressure that is that 01:44.079 --> 01:46.399 the country is under is not going to get 01:46.399 --> 01:49.680 us to shift position. 01:49.680 --> 01:53.439 Born in Mashad in 1969, Mushtaba Hamani 01:53.439 --> 01:56.640 served in the Iran Iraq war and studied 01:56.640 --> 02:00.320 in the holy city of K. Mushtaba Hami has 02:00.320 --> 02:01.600 strong links with the security 02:01.600 --> 02:03.840 establishment, the Islamic Revolutionary 02:03.840 --> 02:05.840 Guard Corps, as well as the besiege 02:05.840 --> 02:08.080 paramilitary force. relationships he's 02:08.080 --> 02:10.319 likely to foster if he wishes to rule in 02:10.319 --> 02:12.879 the same vein as his father. But the 02:12.879 --> 02:14.720 junior Hamani could struggle for 02:14.720 --> 02:17.200 legitimacy, even among supporters of the 02:17.200 --> 02:19.599 regime. He's not a well-known cleric and 02:19.599 --> 02:21.840 has not held government office. And a 02:21.840 --> 02:24.000 father-to- succession may not be 02:24.000 --> 02:25.760 palatable to the supporters of a 02:25.760 --> 02:29.040 revolution that overthrew a monarchy. To 02:29.040 --> 02:31.200 Scotland now, where a huge fire engulfed 02:31.200 --> 02:33.200 an historic building near Glasgow 02:33.200 --> 02:34.879 Central Station. Fortunately, no 02:34.879 --> 02:36.480 casualties have been reported at the 02:36.480 --> 02:38.400 time of this taping, but the fire 02:38.400 --> 02:40.400 destroyed several places of business and 02:40.400 --> 02:42.800 caused major travel disruptions. More 02:42.800 --> 02:45.360 than 60 firefighters fought the blaze, 02:45.360 --> 02:47.760 which started in a vape shop on Sunday. 02:47.760 --> 02:49.840 According to the BBC, people were told 02:49.840 --> 02:52.160 to stay clear of the area and to keep 02:52.160 --> 02:56.400 all windows closed. Opening in 1879, 02:56.400 --> 02:58.480 Glasgow Central has become Scotland's 02:58.480 --> 03:00.800 busiest station and all train services 03:00.800 --> 03:02.480 were expected to be cancelled until at 03:02.480 --> 03:06.319 least the end of Monday. 03:06.319 --> 03:08.319 Pop quiz hot shot. What year were the 03:08.319 --> 03:12.080 first parolympic games held? 1950, 1960, 03:12.080 --> 03:16.519 1970, or 1980? 03:18.879 --> 03:21.280 Gold medal. What if you said 1960? The 03:21.280 --> 03:23.120 first parolympic games took place during 03:23.120 --> 03:25.599 the summer of 1960 in Rome, Italy, 03:25.599 --> 03:27.920 featuring 400 athletes from 23 03:27.920 --> 03:30.239 countries. The first winter parolympic 03:30.239 --> 03:34.720 games took place in 1976 in Sweden. Now 03:34.720 --> 03:36.560 to a story about inspiration and 03:36.560 --> 03:38.319 motivation from the world of sports at 03:38.319 --> 03:41.120 the 2026 Parolympic Games in Italy. Team 03:41.120 --> 03:43.599 USA's Oxana Masters has done it again 03:43.599 --> 03:46.159 and by it I mean gold, winning the 03:46.159 --> 03:48.720 women's sitting sprint parabathlon. 03:48.720 --> 03:51.519 Okana now has 20 parolympic medals 03:51.519 --> 03:53.840 overall, 10 of them gold. The eighth 03:53.840 --> 03:56.000 time Parolympian has become legendary in 03:56.000 --> 03:58.640 both the winter and summer games. She 03:58.640 --> 04:00.400 was born in Ukraine with her hands, 04:00.400 --> 04:02.319 feet, and legs not properly formed due 04:02.319 --> 04:04.080 to radiation poisoning from the 04:04.080 --> 04:06.560 Chernobyl nuclear reactor incident. 04:06.560 --> 04:08.239 Abandoned by her parents, she spent 04:08.239 --> 04:10.400 seven years in an orphanage where she 04:10.400 --> 04:12.080 would have to sneak out to find food 04:12.080 --> 04:14.000 because of the neglect and abuse she 04:14.000 --> 04:16.160 faced. She was adopted by an American 04:16.160 --> 04:18.400 professor, Miss Gay Masters, moved to 04:18.400 --> 04:20.400 the US, and over the course of seven 04:20.400 --> 04:22.079 years would have both of her legs 04:22.079 --> 04:24.320 amputated. But nothing stopped her from 04:24.320 --> 04:26.800 dreaming big. Not even a surgery, a bone 04:26.800 --> 04:28.880 infection, and a concussion leading into 04:28.880 --> 04:31.680 these parolympic games in Italy. At 36 04:31.680 --> 04:33.680 years old, Oxana is the most decorated 04:33.680 --> 04:36.240 American parolympian of all time. I had 04:36.240 --> 04:38.000 the chance to catch up with her to hear 04:38.000 --> 04:40.160 her incredible story and find out what 04:40.160 --> 04:43.120 motivates her to reach new heights. 04:43.120 --> 04:45.759 Oh my gosh, it was amazing to be able to 04:45.759 --> 04:47.440 bring home the first gold. I didn't 04:47.440 --> 04:48.880 think I was going to bring home any 04:48.880 --> 04:50.639 gold. So, for it to be the first one for 04:50.639 --> 04:54.160 Team USA was just it just feels doesn't 04:54.160 --> 04:55.680 even feel real. 04:55.680 --> 04:58.000 >> It's funny to hear you say, "I didn't 04:58.000 --> 04:59.600 think I was going to win any medals at 04:59.600 --> 05:01.840 these games." In the leadup, you had to 05:01.840 --> 05:04.320 battle surgery, a bone infection, a 05:04.320 --> 05:06.320 concussion. Do you ever just say to 05:06.320 --> 05:08.800 yourself, "Why me?" 05:08.800 --> 05:11.600 Um, I think the human in me definitely 05:11.600 --> 05:13.520 there's moments of it, but I don't live 05:13.520 --> 05:15.680 in like the why me. I think it's just 05:15.680 --> 05:18.639 more like especially as you know, 05:18.639 --> 05:20.639 sometimes you're just dealt with a 05:20.639 --> 05:23.199 certain card, deck of cards, and you 05:23.199 --> 05:25.039 just got to play them how they are. And 05:25.039 --> 05:28.000 I think not why me, but I think just 05:28.000 --> 05:30.320 another opportunity to show and learn 05:30.320 --> 05:32.240 something about myself, how strong I am, 05:32.240 --> 05:36.560 how resilient humans are, and just power 05:36.560 --> 05:38.720 through. Yeah. And I know you've you've 05:38.720 --> 05:40.400 talked a lot about this in your book and 05:40.400 --> 05:42.639 I can't wait to have people get into 05:42.639 --> 05:44.800 that. But when you talk about your 05:44.800 --> 05:46.639 upbringing, how tough your childhood 05:46.639 --> 05:48.400 was, all that you've been through, what 05:48.400 --> 05:50.560 what is one story you can share with us 05:50.560 --> 05:52.240 and how did that tough time end up 05:52.240 --> 05:53.840 shaping you into the strong woman that 05:53.840 --> 05:54.720 you are today? 05:54.720 --> 05:56.479 >> You know, I was told when I was having 05:56.479 --> 05:58.479 my legs amputated, I would never walk 05:58.479 --> 06:00.320 again. I'll never be an athlete. And 06:00.320 --> 06:02.320 didn't know any of this was possible for 06:02.320 --> 06:04.800 me. And I think for those little kids 06:04.800 --> 06:07.440 and people that are watching, if 06:07.440 --> 06:09.440 someone's telling you no, don't be 06:09.440 --> 06:12.560 afraid to be that first one for the next 06:12.560 --> 06:14.880 person to see what's truly possible. And 06:14.880 --> 06:17.759 if you're doing it alone, do it the best 06:17.759 --> 06:20.160 you can. And just, you know, you're 06:20.160 --> 06:21.759 going to create an opportunity for 06:21.759 --> 06:25.039 someone in the future. as superhuman and 06:25.039 --> 06:27.199 all these superpowers you seem to have, 06:27.199 --> 06:29.039 do you ever have that invader of the 06:29.039 --> 06:31.440 mind creep in and try to tell you just 06:31.440 --> 06:33.680 give up, you're tired, you're injured, 06:33.680 --> 06:35.440 you've already accomplished so much. Do 06:35.440 --> 06:37.280 you ever do you ever feel that? 06:37.280 --> 06:39.360 >> Yeah, I feel that. And honestly, I felt 06:39.360 --> 06:41.280 that every single three weeks leading to 06:41.280 --> 06:45.680 the games and and it happened on my most 06:45.680 --> 06:47.759 recent race yesterday where I got fourth 06:47.759 --> 06:50.400 place and it didn't end up going my way. 06:50.400 --> 06:53.120 For me, I am an athlete and a person 06:53.120 --> 06:55.199 that believes in finishing what I start. 06:55.199 --> 06:57.440 Whether it puts you on top of the podium 06:57.440 --> 07:00.560 or it puts you deadlast or a DNF, I'm 07:00.560 --> 07:02.319 going to finish what I can if I have the 07:02.319 --> 07:06.639 ability to do so. And I think, you know, 07:06.639 --> 07:09.599 yeah, it's easy to lean into that voice, 07:09.599 --> 07:13.120 but I would have so much regret if I 07:13.120 --> 07:16.400 did. and me pushing through and ignoring 07:16.400 --> 07:18.000 just to let that thought go in in one 07:18.000 --> 07:19.919 ear and not the other like I see you not 07:19.919 --> 07:24.000 today. Thank you. And just listening to 07:24.000 --> 07:26.000 the voice of my family, my community, 07:26.000 --> 07:28.000 and my team that showed up for me to 07:28.000 --> 07:30.560 help me be where I am right now. 07:30.560 --> 07:32.960 >> A digital basketball court is making big 07:32.960 --> 07:34.960 waves at the Big 12 men's and women's 07:34.960 --> 07:37.039 conference tournaments in Kansas City. 07:37.039 --> 07:38.800 It's like a transformer. You can swap 07:38.800 --> 07:41.759 out team logos, the advertisements. Some 07:41.759 --> 07:44.720 seem to love it, some not so much. The 07:44.720 --> 07:46.720 Court is built from a layered system, 07:46.720 --> 07:48.560 individual panels made of tempered 07:48.560 --> 07:50.720 safety glass and ceramic dots for grip 07:50.720 --> 07:53.680 on the top. Then LED panels which can be 07:53.680 --> 07:56.080 changed at the touch of an iPad. And 07:56.080 --> 07:59.039 finally, metal springs beneath it all to 07:59.039 --> 08:00.879 add elasticity to the floor's 08:00.879 --> 08:02.639 substructure. This is the first time 08:02.639 --> 08:04.240 this technology has been used for 08:04.240 --> 08:09.080 official collegiate games in the US. 08:11.759 --> 08:13.680 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. 08:13.680 --> 08:15.520 You, as we do on the 10th of every 08:15.520 --> 08:16.879 month, we're going to highlight some of 08:16.879 --> 08:18.800 our viewers top moments of the year so 08:18.800 --> 08:21.120 far. Let's start in Owensboro, Kentucky 08:21.120 --> 08:23.120 with a team giving us something to cheer 08:23.120 --> 08:25.680 about. The Burns Middle School 08:25.680 --> 08:27.840 cheerleaders just made school history, 08:27.840 --> 08:30.720 winning a national championship at UCA 08:30.720 --> 08:33.039 Nationals in Orlando in the junior high 08:33.039 --> 08:35.360 game day non-tumbling division. With 08:35.360 --> 08:39.440 teamwork, determination, and a 3.73 08:39.440 --> 08:41.919 team GPA, they are proving they've got 08:41.919 --> 08:43.919 the spirit and the smarts. Way to stick 08:43.919 --> 08:45.760 the landing. Next up, we're headed to 08:45.760 --> 08:47.600 Illinois where one team finished their 08:47.600 --> 08:49.680 season with a bang. The Effingham 08:49.680 --> 08:51.920 Mustangs fifth grade girls basketball 08:51.920 --> 08:54.240 team galloping past the competition, 08:54.240 --> 08:56.720 wrapping up their season with a dub, 08:56.720 --> 08:59.279 giving Mrs. Bowman's class at Central 08:59.279 --> 09:02.640 Grade School plenty to celebrate. 09:02.640 --> 09:05.040 Let's head over now to Kansas where one 09:05.040 --> 09:07.360 Roman Peterson, a student from Miss 09:07.360 --> 09:09.839 Ferguson's class at Quail Run Elementary 09:09.839 --> 09:11.839 in Lawrence, Kansas, got the chance to 09:11.839 --> 09:14.399 fly a plane on January 10th. Pretty 09:14.399 --> 09:16.800 fitting for one of our CNN 10 family 09:16.800 --> 09:18.880 members. Roman says he hopes to become a 09:18.880 --> 09:21.120 pilot or maybe a football player 09:21.120 --> 09:22.880 someday. And after getting behind the 09:22.880 --> 09:24.480 controls, looks like he is already 09:24.480 --> 09:27.040 soaring towards his goals. In more 09:27.040 --> 09:29.600 aviation celebration, Jack Crosby of 09:29.600 --> 09:31.839 Lakewood Ranch High School in Bradenton, 09:31.839 --> 09:33.920 Florida, just earned acceptance into the 09:33.920 --> 09:35.920 United States Air Force Academy.
