WEBVTT 00:11.360 --> 00:13.759 Buenos das and happy Friday everybody. 00:13.759 --> 00:16.080 I'm Isabelle Rosales in for Koiwire and 00:16.080 --> 00:17.760 I'm so excited to be with you for 00:17.760 --> 00:20.240 another episode of the best 10 minutes 00:20.240 --> 00:22.080 in news. We have a lot of important 00:22.080 --> 00:23.760 stories to tell you about today. So 00:23.760 --> 00:25.439 let's get right into it. We begin with 00:25.439 --> 00:27.680 an update on the war in Iran and the 00:27.680 --> 00:29.439 impact it is having on some of the 00:29.439 --> 00:32.559 country's most important cultural sites. 00:32.559 --> 00:34.480 Iranian state media says that in the 00:34.480 --> 00:37.120 nearly four weeks since the war began, 00:37.120 --> 00:39.040 US and Israeli strikes have caused 00:39.040 --> 00:41.040 extensive damage to at least 100 00:41.040 --> 00:43.920 museums, mosques, and other historic 00:43.920 --> 00:46.079 buildings. The Ministry of Culture has 00:46.079 --> 00:47.680 strongly condemned the attacks and the 00:47.680 --> 00:49.200 strikes and says that they've even 00:49.200 --> 00:51.520 damaged several of the country's UNESCO 00:51.520 --> 00:53.920 heritage sites. That includes the 00:53.920 --> 00:55.440 400year-old 00:55.440 --> 00:58.399 Goliston Palace in Terron which suffered 00:58.399 --> 01:00.480 extensive damage following nearby 01:00.480 --> 01:01.359 strikes. 01:01.359 --> 01:03.039 >> The main concern for us is the 01:03.039 --> 01:04.640 resilience of these structures, 01:04.640 --> 01:06.320 especially given their age and 01:06.320 --> 01:07.760 historical fragility. 01:07.760 --> 01:09.600 >> US Central Command says it has not 01:09.600 --> 01:12.159 deliberately targeted civilians. And the 01:12.159 --> 01:14.080 Israeli Defense Forces says measures 01:14.080 --> 01:16.240 have been taken to minimize collateral 01:16.240 --> 01:19.040 damage that could damage these cultural 01:19.040 --> 01:21.360 sites. But UNESCO officials are warning 01:21.360 --> 01:23.439 that the escalating violence could 01:23.439 --> 01:25.920 impact more sites throughout the region. 01:25.920 --> 01:27.920 >> We have communicated 01:27.920 --> 01:31.119 all the geographical coordinates to all 01:31.119 --> 01:34.960 the parties uh so that everyone is aware 01:34.960 --> 01:37.759 and and that this world heritage site 01:37.759 --> 01:41.600 should not be subject to any attack. 01:41.600 --> 01:43.759 >> Now to a huge update in the world of 01:43.759 --> 01:46.159 women's sports. All eyes may be on the 01:46.159 --> 01:48.320 NCAA tournaments, but the biggest 01:48.320 --> 01:50.399 breakthrough this week was at the pro 01:50.399 --> 01:53.360 level. The WNBA and its players union 01:53.360 --> 01:54.960 announced that they have reached a new 01:54.960 --> 01:56.960 agreement that promises to forever 01:56.960 --> 01:58.880 change the league. The collective 01:58.880 --> 02:00.960 bargaining deal is expected to greatly 02:00.960 --> 02:03.360 increase player salaries, which is an 02:03.360 --> 02:04.719 issue that had been at the center of 02:04.719 --> 02:07.439 ongoing negotiations. The Players Union 02:07.439 --> 02:09.840 opted out of their previous deal nearly 02:09.840 --> 02:12.400 18 months ago, claiming player salaries 02:12.400 --> 02:14.640 were not reflective of the league's 02:14.640 --> 02:17.360 explosive growth in popularity. This new 02:17.360 --> 02:19.760 deal will increase player salaries and 02:19.760 --> 02:21.840 team salary caps by, listen to this, 02:21.840 --> 02:25.040 more than 400%. It will also pave the 02:25.040 --> 02:27.599 way for milliondoll players for the 02:27.599 --> 02:29.440 first time in the league's 30-year 02:29.440 --> 02:31.840 history. Now, both sides still need to 02:31.840 --> 02:34.080 finalize details of that deal before a 02:34.080 --> 02:36.160 final vote, but it's expected to be done 02:36.160 --> 02:39.120 well ahead of next month's rookie draft. 02:39.120 --> 02:41.360 Speaking of rookies, a quick programming 02:41.360 --> 02:44.400 note. The 2026 Nay Smith Girls High 02:44.400 --> 02:46.480 School Player of the Year has just been 02:46.480 --> 02:49.360 announced. Kate Harper from the Mer 02:49.360 --> 02:52.000 School in Atlanta was honored this week 02:52.000 --> 02:54.160 just after she committed to UNCC Chapel 02:54.160 --> 02:57.040 Hill. and Koi just got to play a little 02:57.040 --> 02:59.519 one-on-one with Harper where they talk 02:59.519 --> 03:01.040 about what it's like to be a student 03:01.040 --> 03:03.840 athlete and how to even balance it all 03:03.840 --> 03:06.159 out. We'll bring you that story next 03:06.159 --> 03:08.879 week, so be sure not to miss it. It's 03:08.879 --> 03:12.239 time for 10 second trivia. What brain 03:12.239 --> 03:14.319 chemical is most commonly associated 03:14.319 --> 03:17.120 with feelings of happiness and reward? 03:17.120 --> 03:20.159 Is it glutamate, dopamine, adrenaline, 03:20.159 --> 03:22.560 cortisol? 03:22.560 --> 03:24.959 Well, if you said dopamine, big smile. 03:24.959 --> 03:26.720 Studies show that you can instantly 03:26.720 --> 03:29.360 trigger a dopamine release by listening 03:29.360 --> 03:31.519 to your favorite music, getting some 03:31.519 --> 03:34.000 sunlight, petting an animal, or even 03:34.000 --> 03:37.200 splashing cold water on your face. Today 03:37.200 --> 03:40.239 is the International Day of Happiness. 03:40.239 --> 03:42.799 And in this next story, one country is 03:42.799 --> 03:45.920 finishing first again. For the ninth 03:45.920 --> 03:48.000 straight year, Finland leads the World 03:48.000 --> 03:50.400 Happiness Report, setting the gold 03:50.400 --> 03:52.879 standard for good vibes. But in other 03:52.879 --> 03:54.319 parts of the world, happiness is 03:54.319 --> 03:56.319 actually declining. And researchers say 03:56.319 --> 03:58.879 social media may be a factor. Here's 03:58.879 --> 04:00.959 Scout Richards with what's boosting 04:00.959 --> 04:03.360 well-being. In the world's happiest 04:03.360 --> 04:05.760 country ranking, one place keeps coming 04:05.760 --> 04:08.000 out on top. Finland is still the 04:08.000 --> 04:10.319 happiest country in the world, but in 04:10.319 --> 04:12.400 some parts of the world, happiness is 04:12.400 --> 04:15.040 falling. Gallup just released its annual 04:15.040 --> 04:17.120 World Happiness Report and for the ninth 04:17.120 --> 04:19.600 year in a row, Finland ranked number 04:19.600 --> 04:21.759 one. Iceland and Denmark are right 04:21.759 --> 04:23.919 behind it. And Costa Rica hit the 04:23.919 --> 04:26.080 highest ranking ever for Latin American 04:26.080 --> 04:29.280 country, fourth. The US didn't even make 04:29.280 --> 04:32.000 the top 20. In fact, for the second year 04:32.000 --> 04:34.479 in a row, no English-speaking country 04:34.479 --> 04:36.639 cracked the top 10. The rankings are 04:36.639 --> 04:39.280 based on years of surveys from more than 04:39.280 --> 04:41.440 140 countries looking at things like 04:41.440 --> 04:44.000 income, social support, life expectancy, 04:44.000 --> 04:46.240 and corruption. But this year, 04:46.240 --> 04:48.160 researchers pointed to another factor 04:48.160 --> 04:50.240 that could impact happiness among young 04:50.240 --> 04:53.199 people, social media use. They say it 04:53.199 --> 04:54.560 could be contributing to falling 04:54.560 --> 04:56.479 happiness among young people, 04:56.479 --> 04:58.560 particularly those spending 5 hours or 04:58.560 --> 05:01.600 more a day on social media. And it's not 05:01.600 --> 05:04.160 just how much time people spend, but how 05:04.160 --> 05:06.240 they use it. Messaging and staying 05:06.240 --> 05:07.600 connected is linked to higher 05:07.600 --> 05:09.759 well-being, while endless scrolling and 05:09.759 --> 05:12.080 algorithm-driven feeds are tied to lower 05:12.080 --> 05:14.960 life satisfaction. So, no matter where 05:14.960 --> 05:17.199 you are, a little less screen time could 05:17.199 --> 05:19.759 do some good for your well-being. This 05:19.759 --> 05:21.360 Women's History Month, we've been 05:21.360 --> 05:23.440 spotlighting some of the lesserk known 05:23.440 --> 05:25.840 trailblazers who created positive change 05:25.840 --> 05:28.320 in our world. Today, we're introducing 05:28.320 --> 05:30.560 you to Jung Kuan. She is the director of 05:30.560 --> 05:32.800 a historic Buddhist temple complex in 05:32.800 --> 05:35.360 South Korea, which by the way is an 05:35.360 --> 05:37.440 accomplishment in its own right, as male 05:37.440 --> 05:40.400 monks vastly outnumber nuns in most 05:40.400 --> 05:42.720 Buddhist colonies. Butwan has gained 05:42.720 --> 05:44.800 worldrenowned appreciation for her 05:44.800 --> 05:46.720 cooking and innovative ways of 05:46.720 --> 05:49.360 encouraging people all over the world to 05:49.360 --> 05:51.759 eat a more plant-based diet. Check this 05:51.759 --> 05:53.440 out. 05:53.440 --> 05:56.080 >> This is the home of Buddhist monk Jong 05:56.080 --> 05:58.320 Kang. 05:58.320 --> 06:00.560 She's putting the spotlight on Korean 06:00.560 --> 06:03.840 temple cuisine where food is deeply 06:03.840 --> 06:08.360 connected to spiritual practice. 06:29.039 --> 06:32.160 John's plant-based masterclass begins 06:32.160 --> 06:36.919 here in the temple garden. 06:54.479 --> 06:57.479 See 06:57.759 --> 07:00.400 salt. 07:00.400 --> 07:03.400 Salt. 07:31.280 --> 07:33.360 The monk hopes the chefs bring some 07:33.360 --> 07:36.000 temple cooking philosophy home with them 07:36.000 --> 07:41.000 and reimagine it in new ways. 08:05.840 --> 08:08.560 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. 08:08.560 --> 08:11.280 One musically gifted family is proving 08:11.280 --> 08:14.319 that talent can span generations and in 08:14.319 --> 08:16.160 this case all the way to one of the 08:16.160 --> 08:18.479 world's most iconic stages. Preparing to 08:18.479 --> 08:20.400 take the stage at Carnegie Hall is the 08:20.400 --> 08:23.199 Brenton family of pianists. At the 08:23.199 --> 08:25.759 center is Sally Peterson Brintton, a 08:25.759 --> 08:28.000 Julliard trained concert pianist who has 08:28.000 --> 08:30.000 passed her passion for music down 08:30.000 --> 08:32.000 through her family. Listen to this. 08:32.000 --> 08:34.479 Seven children and dozens of 08:34.479 --> 08:36.000 grandchildren. 08:36.000 --> 08:38.479 Playing is a spiritual experience for 08:38.479 --> 08:39.200 me. 08:39.200 --> 08:41.839 >> 15 family members are now set to perform 08:41.839 --> 08:44.560 together, turning a shared passion into 08:44.560 --> 08:46.480 a full family ensemble. 08:46.480 --> 08:49.440 >> I feel like we owe it to share our 08:49.440 --> 08:51.519 talents to develop them to contribute 08:51.519 --> 08:52.720 that to our children as well. 08:52.720 --> 08:54.480 >> It's a performance built on more than 08:54.480 --> 08:57.440 talent, shaped by family, support, and 08:57.440 --> 08:59.839 years of practice. All right, 08:59.839 --> 09:01.519 superstars. I've got time for two 09:01.519 --> 09:04.240 shoutouts on this Friday.
