What's up sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. This

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.829
is CNN 10, the best 10 minutes in news.

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.510
Hope you are finding fun ways to spend

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:19.029
your summer. I've just been practicing

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.670
my ABC's backwards. Z Yx Wrp O N M L KJ

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:26.870
I H GF EDC CBA. It's going okay so far.

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:28.950
Today we have one famous sneaker company

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.990
lacing up for an AI makeover. And we're

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.430
going to show you a soccer league proven

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:35.190
you don't need superstar salaries to

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.590
create superstar passion. But first,

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.229
another nation hits the pause button on

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:42.790
social media. We begin in France. Making

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:44.549
headlines this week, not just for the

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:46.549
tour to France, but for becoming the

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:48.310
first country in the European Union to

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.790
ban social media for those under the age

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:53.670
of 15. French lawmakers overwhelmingly

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:55.910
voted Tuesday in favor of the bill which

00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.750
was championed by President Emanuel

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.709
Mcronone. He will now sign it into law.

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.630
Mcronone pushed lawmakers to move

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.630
quickly so the new rules could be in

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.310
place before students head back to

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.950
school this September. The new law will

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:10.950
be enforced by France's audiovisisual

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:13.190
and digital communications regulator

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.390
ARCOM. The agency says French teenagers

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.630
spend an average of nearly 90 minutes

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.510
every day on Tik Tok alone. The ban is

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:24.070
expected to apply to major social media

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:25.910
platforms, although exactly how

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.230
companies will verify users ages is

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:30.950
still being worked out. Some parents say

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.710
it's a step in the right direction.

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:34.789
Others wonder whether it goes far

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.030
enough. France isn't alone. Of course,

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.870
Australia made history last year by

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:41.109
banning social media for children under

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:43.830
16. The United Kingdom plans similar

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.910
restrictions next year, while Spain,

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.749
Greece, and Denmark are exploring

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:50.550
minimum age requirements of their own.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.550
Next up, imagine your favorite shoe

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.149
company saying, "We're done making

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.230
shoes." Well, if this sounds like it's a

00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:58.709
setup to a joke, it's not. It is real.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.190
Earlier this year, iconic sneaker maker

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.749
Allirds stunned customers by announcing

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:06.149
it was stepping away from footwear and

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.229
reinventing itself as an artificial

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:10.710
intelligence company called Smartbird.

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:12.630
What sounds like an April Fool's prank

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:14.470
has become one of the boldest examples

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:17.190
yet of businesses betting their futures

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:19.589
on AI. Our Claire Duffy spoke to the

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.150
Smartbird president and CEO about the

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:24.309
company's decision to go allin on

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.070
artificial intelligence.

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.830
>> The company that made these sneakers is

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.550
dropping Allirds for AI. News this

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.630
spring that Allirds was rebranding as

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:34.390
Smart Bird sent the company's shares

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.430
soaring nearly 600%. But it also left

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:39.270
some wondering whether it was a joke or

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.750
a gimmick. New CEO Nadia Carlston says

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:43.350
she's very serious.

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.509
>> There's a lot backing this up. It's the

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:48.150
fact that we have a new company now very

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:50.949
much dedicated to to AI. We have a board

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:52.710
that is committed and this is something

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:54.949
that I have done before. So I I know

00:02:54.959 --> 00:02:57.110
that it's a market that exists and

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.390
something that we can deliver.

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.070
>> Smartboard wants to provide computing

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.710
power for companies to run AI systems. A

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:04.550
business that is dominated by giants

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.710
like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:09.190
>> AI is so hot right now. This is in maybe

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:11.670
an unusual way to start an AI company.

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.830
Um, but it wouldn't be unusual for a

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.990
company that wants to provide value to

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.270
choose to be an AI.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.869
>> It's not the first time a struggling

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.949
legacy company has made a bold bet on a

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:23.030
hyped up new technology, and it doesn't

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:25.509
always pan [music] out. In 2018, film

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:27.190
company Kodak announced it was going

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:29.830
allin on blockchain and launching its

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.589
own cryptocurrency. While that news

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.430
initially sent the company's stock up,

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:35.750
the effort quickly fizzled. Last year,

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:37.509
Kodak warned investors it was on the

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:39.750
verge of bankruptcy. But SmartBirds

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:41.750
Carlston says she's confident about the

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:43.830
opportunity in AI. As for whether she'll

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.789
miss the shoes,

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:46.789
>> I actually have never owned an Albert

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:48.869
shoe. People talk about Alberts being

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.110
the preferred shoe brand of of tech

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.350
bros. And of course, I am in the space,

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.990
but I'm one of the few women in the AI

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.429
infrastructure business. So, I'm not a

00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.670
tech bro. Uh, and I actually tend to

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.149
prefer high heels myself.

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.309
>> Pop quiz hot shot. Roughly how long does

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.630
it take sunlight to reach Earth? 8

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:09.990
minutes, 15 minutes, 27 minutes, or 43

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.589
minutes.

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.509
If you said 8 minutes, you are

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.349
sensational. Even though the sun is

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:21.990
about 93 million miles away, it's light

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.070
reaches us in just 8 minutes and 20

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:25.830
seconds. That's less time than this

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:27.590
show.

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.830
Summer break is here. That might mean

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:31.270
more beach trips, more camping [music]

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:32.710
trips. And if your parents are anything

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:33.909
like mine, they're probably yelling,

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:36.230
"Put your sunscreen on, son." or maybe

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.270
trying to [music] get you to wear one of

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:39.110
those sun shirts when you're swimming.

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.070
So, how much does that stuff really work

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:43.670
though? And just how dangerous is the

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.430
sun that we need to protect ourselves

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:47.270
from it? We are going to turn to our

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:49.830
very own CNN medical correspondent Meg

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:52.469
Terrell for some answers. Meg, just how

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:54.550
dangerous is the sun that we need to

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.550
protect ourselves from it?

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.469
>> Hi, Coy. Well, the main reason is that

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:00.310
the sun produces something called UV

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:02.550
rays or ultraviolet light. Now, some of

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.390
it can be good helping the body produce

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:07.270
vitamin D, but too much can damage the

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:09.510
skin cells and potentially lead to skin

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:10.310
cancer,

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:12.390
>> and we definitely want to avoid that.

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:14.310
So, what are some of the best ways to

00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:16.390
protect ourselves from the sun?

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:18.710
>> Well, covering up, wearing a swim shirt,

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.629
a hat, sunglasses, and of course,

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.390
sunscreen. [music]

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:25.670
There are a couple different types,

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.070
chemical and mineral or physical, and

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:29.590
the main difference is the way they

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.670
provide protection against the sun.

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.350
Chemical sunscreens usually contain

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.189
ingredients like avoenzone and

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.270
octtoalate. They work by absorbing the

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:38.950
sun's rays and preventing them from

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:40.790
damaging the skin. [music] Mineral or

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.230
physical sunscreens have ingredients

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.629
like zinc and titanium dioxide and they

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.790
work more like a shield that reflects UV

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.550
light off the skin. The main difference

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.469
is chemical sunscreens take a few

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:52.390
minutes to become effective. So, be sure

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:55.029
to apply early before going out into the

00:05:55.039 --> 00:05:57.430
sun.

00:05:57.440 --> 00:05:58.710
Either way, you want to make sure you

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.189
get at least SPF 15 and make sure it's

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.029
broadsp spectrum. So, protecting against

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:06.469
both UVA and UVB rays and apply it

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:08.550
liberally to any skin that's exposed to

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:09.830
the sun. You want to make sure you

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:11.590
reapply every 2 hours that you're

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.830
outside and after swimming. And if

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.150
you're using a spray form, make sure it

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.929
actually goes where you're intending

00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.469
[music] and not off into the wind.

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:23.430
>> Okay. Sunscreen and a hat. Got it. Now,

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:25.189
what if it's cloudy? Then do I have to

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.150
wear it? [music]

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.070
>> Well, a good rule of thumb is to check

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:30.870
the UV index for the day. Any day it's

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:32.790
three or higher is a day for sun

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.070
protection. [music]

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:36.390
>> Meg Terrell, thank you so much. And how

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:38.230
fitting is it that we're talking about

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.710
sun [music] protection because July is

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.950
UV awareness month. So, as you're having

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:44.309
fun this summer, remember to take that

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.070
extra second or two to put on that

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:48.150
sunscreen. Your [music] future skin will

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.790
thank you. The 2026 World Cup is

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.950
officially in the books. Congrats once

00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:54.790
again to Spain for taking home the

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.189
trophy. But while soccer's biggest stage

00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.950
has gone dark, the beautiful game is

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:01.670
still shining in some unexpected places.

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.749
In China, a league that began in one of

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.830
the country's poorest provinces has

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:08.390
become a national sensation, and fans

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:10.629
cannot get enough. Our Mike Valerio has

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.870
more on how one special league is

00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:15.270
refreshing reminder that sometimes the

00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:17.110
purest version of sport isn't played

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:18.870
under the brightest lights. It's played

00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:22.710
for hometown pride.

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.790
On the pitch in a remote corner of

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.189
northern China, the chanting, dancing,

00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.990
and thousands of fans hanging on every

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.430
shot. This isn't the World Cup. This is

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:36.230
Sun, China's amateur village Super

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:44.390
League.

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.710
>> [cheering]

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.029
>> Right back. Tonga and his teammates are

00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:51.749
one win away from Sununcha glory. But

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.390
first, he has teeth to fix. Tong the

00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:57.589
dentist becomes Tong the defender.

00:07:57.599 --> 00:07:59.350
>> You could say it's a dream come true.

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.189
Standing in the spotlight like this.

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:02.710
It's not something I normally get the

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.390
chance to experience.

00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:06.309
>> Like Tong, nearly all the players have

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.309
day jobs. Professionals are barred,

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.790
giving amateurs a stage of their own.

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.510
That grassroots model reverses the top-

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:15.830
down path Chinese soccer has pursued for

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:18.710
years. Beginning in the 2010s, China's

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.029
property giants spent billions bringing

00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:22.550
international stars into the

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.550
professional league. The spending

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.830
brought a brief burst of success before

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:30.550
China's property boom unraveled along

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.430
with bribery and matchfixing scandals.

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.829
All this despite Chinese leader Xiinping

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:38.630
himself an avid fan making soccer a

00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:40.949
national priority. So, there are no

00:08:40.959 --> 00:08:42.550
multi-million dollar contracts here. As

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:43.909
soon as all these guys are done work,

00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.509
they pack up their things, drive for

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.030
hours, put on their cleats, and come

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:49.670
here because of their love of the game.

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.350
While Tong and his team step onto the

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.190
pitch for the final, the entire

00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.110
community gathers at the stadium near

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.509
festive performances and bustling night

00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.150
markets. But above all, they're here to

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:02.630
cheer on their home team. Suncha offers

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:04.550
what money and mandates struggle to

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:06.870
produce. Local stars playing for the

00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:14.630
communities, cheering them on.

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:16.550
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:18.630
nutty world record that is sure to crack

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:21.350
you up. The town of Lou Vern, Minnesota

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.430
claims to have more nutcrackers than

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.430
people. And they've added one giant

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.350
addition to their roster. The world's

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.389
tallest nutcracker. Vern the Patriot

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.110
stands at a jaw-dropping 66 feet tall.

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.630
That's more than twice the height of the

00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:37.190
previous record holder in Nei House in

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.190
Germany. And yes, the Star Spangled

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.430
superstar has a working jaw. The

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.990
Nutcracker craze was started by 96 year

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.630
old local legend Betty Man, who donated

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:49.030
her epic collection to the town to help

00:09:49.040 --> 00:09:51.750
drive tourism. Nutcrackers aren't just a

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:54.070
holiday tradition in Louvern. They're a

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.829
year-round celebration. Every summer,

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:58.150
the town hosts Nutcracker Fest, proving

00:09:58.160 --> 00:09:59.829
they're willing to go to great lengths

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:02.070
to crack a smile. Safe to say Betty and

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.030
company are crushing it. All right, rise

00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:06.949
up. We have two shout outs today. This

00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:08.870
first one goes to Miss Terara at

00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:10.389

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.550
Guanacasta, Costa Rica. Thank you for

Vita. Next up, we have Mrs. G or Miss G

00:10:18.079 --> 00:10:20.310

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.150
