00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:13.990
What's up, sunshine? Happy Friday. Fry.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.910
Yay. I know some of you already have one

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:17.510
foot out the door getting ready to have

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.070
the best summer ever. Awesome. We are so

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:21.750
excited for you. I'm Ky Wire. This is

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.310
CNN 10. And on today's show, we have a

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.070
wildfire threatening one of the rarest

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:29.029
ecosystems in America. Underwater chess,

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.269
where only one wrong move is literally

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:33.270
sink or swim. Let's go. We're going to

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.110
start though with major developments

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:37.430
involving Cuba and a move by the United

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.270
States that's sending political shock

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.069
waves from Havana to Washington DC. The

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.150
US Justice Department announced this

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.790
week it has indicted 94year-old former

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.430
Cuban President Raul Castro on charges

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:51.750
that include murder and conspiracy to

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:54.709
kill US nationals. The charges stem from

00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.430
his alleged involvement in a 1996

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:59.510
incident when Cuban fighter jets shot

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.510
down planes flown by Miami based

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.830
volunteer group over international

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.310
waters, killing four people, including

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.630
three Americans. This case reopens one

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.710
of the most painful chapters in US Cuba

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:12.710
relations. A rivalry that's been

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:14.390
simmering since the Cold War. This

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.390
indictment is raising new questions

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.390
about what comes next, including

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.469
concerns about possible US military

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:22.789
activity near the island nation. Our

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.670
Patrick Ottman explains how he got here.

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.070
While Ral Castro is officially retired,

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:30.950
he remains the most powerful man on this

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:33.350
island. He's handpicked many if not all

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:35.749
of the top leadership here both military

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:39.030
and political. And so when Cuba's

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.630
president Miguel Diaz Canel says that

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.630
Castro is not going anywhere, much less

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.350
a courtroom in Miami, that carries a lot

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:47.910
of weight with it, it is uh essentially

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.910
the Cuban government's way of saying

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.630
that if the US were to try to seize Ral

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.950
Castro, like we saw take place against

00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:57.350
Venezuela's leader Nicholas Manduro, who

00:01:57.360 --> 00:01:59.990
himself was under US indictment, then

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.749
clearly the Cuban government, the Cuban

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:04.789
military would put up a fight. Already

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.429
we have seen the Cuban military carrying

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.910
out more maneuvers. We've seen Cuban

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:11.670
officials tell the population here that

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.350
they should prepare for any kind of

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.830
military strikes or potentially a US

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.670
invasion. That is something that people

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.670
take seriously here. This is an island

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.470
that for decades uh has lived under the

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:25.110
fear of a US invasion. One that is

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.830
becoming more and more probable as

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.670
tensions get higher and higher here.

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.430
Cubans that I have spoken to, even those

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:33.350
who don't support the government, say

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.270
they are very concerned though that if

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.470
there is an off-ramp to this crisis that

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:39.990
any kind of military strikes that

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.910
destabilize the government, cause it to

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:43.830
collapse, eventually could lead to some

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.550
kind of humanitarian disaster. Now to

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.630
California, where a wildfire is tearing

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:49.910
through one of the most unique

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:52.229
ecosystems on the planet, Channel

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:54.550
Islands National Park, often called

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.949
North America's Galapagos, because its

00:02:56.959 --> 00:02:59.190
isolation helped rare species evolved

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:01.509
there for thousands of years. Basically,

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:05.030
nature's exclusive VIP section. But now,

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:07.350
a human-caused wildfire is threatening

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.670
that fragile paradise. It began last

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.750
week. Officials are investigating its

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:13.990
origins. As of this taping, the fire has

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.550
grown to more than 17,000 acres, making

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.190
it the largest in the state this year.

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.350
And in the middle of all this chaos came

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.509
a rescue straight out of a movie. A

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:25.430
stranded sailor crashed near the island

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:28.229
during the blaze and sent an SOS in the

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:30.470
most dramatic way, carving a giant help

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:32.550
message into the scorched earth. The

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.710
Coast Guard spotted it and airlifted the

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:37.030
67year-old to safety. Tom Hanks and

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:40.149
Castaway Somewhere was like, "Respect."

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.470
Typically, when you think concert venue,

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.309
you picture giant speakers, bright

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.630
lights, and overpriced nachos. But one

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:49.110
music festival is proving all you really

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.589
need is a front porch and good vibes.

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.350
Porchfest is a music festival

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.949
highlighting local bands in cities

00:03:54.959 --> 00:03:57.350
across America and parts of Canada. And

00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.110
last week in Atlanta, Georgia, nearly

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.509
40,000 people showed up to rock the

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:04.149
block. Our CNN 10 News associate, Lisa

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.949
Wong, has more. In less than 12 hours,

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:09.110
this quiet street in Atlanta, Georgia is

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.110
going to go from this to this. But

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.589
before that happens, let's rewind a

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.310
little bit. Listening to live music goes

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:20.069
all the way back to when humans figured

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.909
out they can make noises by banging

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:24.150
items together and using their voices.

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.390
That eventually evolved to making simple

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:28.230
instruments. The oldest one we know of

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.950
is a bone flute, 40,000 years old.

00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:35.350
The modern music listening experience is

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.990
now so accessible and diverse and the

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.230
Atlanta, Georgia community is doing just

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.110
that.

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.030
>> This is the sixth annual Virginia

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.110
Highlands Porchfest. It's actually one

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.749
of many that happen across America and

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.310
parts of Canada. It's a music festival

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:54.629
that features a variety of local bands

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.469
and puts them on the big stage. Except

00:04:56.479 --> 00:04:59.030
the big stage is a bunch of neighborhood

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.510
porches. It was during CO that they

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:03.189
decided like we need to get out in the

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.350
streets and have some fun and why not

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.790
bring it to this neighborhood.

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.870
There are 100 bands playing this year

00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:14.790
and according to the committee over

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.350
38,000 people bought tickets. That's

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.629
like 530 school buses packed with people

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.230
but all right outside your bedroom

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.469
window. I'm not nervous for the crowd.

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:26.710
It's been big crowds before. A lot of

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.310
local bands, some people live in the

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:29.830
neighborhood, are playing. The unique

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.510
thing about local bands is that a

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:33.029
majority of its members have other

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:35.510
full-time jobs. Getting together to play

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.430
and perform is simply because they're

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:38.550
passionate about it.

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.629
>> Music is everywhere. Being able to play

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.550
live music is even better cuz you know

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.310
that you're providing the thing that

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:45.189
people like.

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.950
>> Exposing people who maybe wouldn't

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:49.029
usually go to shows or um don't really

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:50.469
necessarily listen to this type of music

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:52.870
is super cool, especially in like a

00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:54.230
local neighborhood that everyone's going

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.550
to be at. Being able to enjoy company

00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.390
over good tunes has been a favorite

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:00.230
pastime for humans for thousands of

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.150
years, and we'll continue to see live

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.710
music evolve for thousands more.

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.870
Pop quiz hot shot. Which animal has the

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:10.950
largest number of individual bones?

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:13.270
Python, elephant, cheetah, or bald

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:20.230
eagle?

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.150
If you said python, you are smart. Some

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.629
large pythons can have more than 1,800

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.950
bones. That's hundreds of vertebrae and

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:31.590
ribs. Humans have 206 bones, meaning the

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.350
python basically said, "Hold my

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.029
skeleton." Now to a positively adorable

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:38.950
guest, taking the stage to honor the

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:40.790
graduating veterinary students that

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.950
helped save her life. Our Jeremy Roth

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:45.909
has more on Honey, the dog's best in

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:46.870
show moment.

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:49.029
>> Honey has joined us to celebrate your

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:51.749
special day. A very unique guest of

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.270
honor headlined a recent college

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:55.590
commencement in Iowa celebrating the

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.309
very students that helped save her life.

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.390
This is Honey. In December, she was

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:02.550
critically injured after being hit by a

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.950
car. KCCI reports her owner couldn't

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:06.550
afford treatment, so they surrendered

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.870
her to the Iowa State University College

00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:10.790
of Veterinary Medicine, who worked

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.790
tirelessly to save Honey through

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.110
extensive treatment and rehabilitation,

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.270
fundraising, and teamwork by doctors,

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:19.430
residents, and students who got to see

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:21.670
the fruits of their labors as Honey made

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.230
her way happier and healthier with Cap

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.629
and Gown across the commencement stage.

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.629
I think it it just gives them kind of

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.309
peak into what they can do and the

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.070
impact that they can have in taking care

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:39.749
of animals.

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.510
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:43.270
Chess players are literally taking

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:46.070
things to a deeper level. In Tarnovo,

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:49.029
Padornne, Poland, 62 chess players from

00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:51.029
around the world participated in the

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:54.309
largest world diving chess championship.

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.629
What are the rules you ask? Players dive

00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.309
to the bottom of a pool and make one

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.550
chess move per breath on weighted

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.029
magnetic boards before resurfacing. So,

00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:04.629
not only do you need strategy, you need

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:06.950
lungs of steel. This hybrid sport is

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:09.270
gaining traction with seasoned pros and

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:11.350
teenage newbies trying to make waves

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.510
internationally with mastermind moves

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:15.830
underwater. Okay, no show on Monday

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.430
because of Memorial Day. So, we're back

00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:18.950
on Tuesday. And for all of you

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:20.629
celebrating the last day of school

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.029
today, congrats. So pumped for you. Feel

00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:25.189
free to subscribe to our CNN 10 YouTube

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.869
channel because we'll have summer Friday

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.550
shows coming to keep those brains

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.469
flexing while the backpacks rest. Our

00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:33.350
first shout out of the day goes to Mrs.

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.589
Giggle at Burchil High School in

00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:38.870
Wasilla, Alaska. Thank you for this. A

00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:42.070
handpainted fall antler from Amoose.

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.070
Love the time and the attention to

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.670
detail that you put into this. It's

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:47.509
headed to our wall of friends hall of

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.150
fame. And our next shout out, music to

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:53.430
our ears. Mr. Maro at Ross A. Lurgio

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.350
Middle School in Bedford, New Hampshire.

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.910
And student Colton sent us his version

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:00.230
of Friday Music on three different

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.829
instruments. Play that Friday music,

00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:13.269
Colton.

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.230
So good. Rise up, Colton. Rise up all of

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.310
you. Go out. Make someone's day better

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.630
this weekend. One kind word or smile can

00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:22.710
have a huge ripple effect. You're more

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.550
powerful than you know. I'm Koi Wire and

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:44.230
we are CNN 10.

00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:57.430
Heat.
