WEBVTT 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.549 Hello and happy Friday. Yay. Welcome to 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:16.710 our last summer edition of CNN 10 before 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.630 we start our usual slate of Monday 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.710 through Friday shows kicking off after 00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:23.189 the weekend. Now before we dive into our 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.870 weekend, we have some of the top news 00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:27.109 stories from this past weekend. We will 00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:29.109 start with the heartbreaking story still 00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:30.950 developing in Colombia. The South 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.950 American nation has been devastated by a 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.510 7.4 magnitude earthquake, the strongest 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:43.590 to hit Colombia in a decade. 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.430 The quake struck Monday in the western 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:47.190 region, sending shock waves through 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.190 cities across the country and prompting 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.950 the government to declare a national 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.110 disaster. As of this taping, more than 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:55.430 200 people have been killed, hundreds 00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:57.750 more injured, a number that's expected 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.470 to rise as rescue crews continue to work 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.470 around the clock. Our Reed Bignyan has a 00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:04.390 look at the race to find survivors and 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.789 how the world is reacting. 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.789 >> Colombia's president on Tuesday touring 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.550 areas devastated by the massive 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:13.990 earthquake that rocked the country 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.070 Monday. The government declaring a 00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.390 national disaster as the nation's army 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.230 deploys forces to the most gravely 00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:23.109 devastated areas. Some areas hard to 00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:24.550 reach, including near the quakes 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.550 epicenter, have yet to receive help, 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.710 according to one indigenous leader. A 00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:30.149 United Nations official says 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.310 distribution of food is critical in the 00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:34.789 coming days. World leaders are offering 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.270 assistance and so are aid groups. 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.429 >> We've already uh deployed a team. 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.030 They're already on the ground. The 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.310 devastation is vast and it uh covers a 00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.230 large geographical area. 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:48.389 >> Volunteers in the US also doing what 00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:49.350 they can to help. 00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:51.109 >> Just trying to help out, you know, 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:52.550 whoever wherever might need it. 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.789 >> Those relief efforts coming amid ongoing 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.190 rescue efforts. Emergency responders 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.429 racing to find people still buried under 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.670 the rubble. Volunteers aiding in the 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.230 daunting task of locating survivors. 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:08.229 Video shows the moment an infant was 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:09.830 pulled from the wreckage of an apartment 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.910 building. One of the rescuers said he 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:14.070 and several other civilians helped save 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.309 the child after he heard someone under 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.990 the rubble calling for help. The 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.750 assistance from volunteers coming as 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.589 first responders need all the help they 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.470 can get amid the massive rescue effort. 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:27.110 Crews also utilizing specialized search 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.190 and rescue dogs that Colombian police 00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:32.070 say are playing a key role. 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.830 Now to Denmark, where the government is 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.910 taking an old school approach to trying 00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:37.830 to curb a next-gen problem in the 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.309 classroom, AI cheating. High school 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:41.910 students will be required to verbally 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:44.150 defend their written assignments and any 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:46.150 exams written at home as part of 00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:48.229 emergency measures aimed at combating 00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:50.229 the trend. The rules take effect 00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:52.150 immediately and apply to students in 00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:53.910 upper secondary education, which 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:56.630 typically begins around age 16. The 00:02:56.640 --> 00:02:59.030 country's Ministry of Education is also 00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:01.110 calling on high schools to use tools to 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.070 monitor students screens during exams as 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.710 well as firewalls to filter the content 00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:09.110 they can access during exams and in 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.190 class. They're also encouraging schools 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:12.869 to get students to complete more 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.509 assignments in school under controlled 00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:20.229 environments to make supervision easier. 00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:22.070 Pop quiz hot shot. Which part of the 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.470 moon's shadow produces a total solar 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:28.149 eclipse? Penumbra, Umbra, Corona, or 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.869 Terminator. 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.270 Go ahead and moonwalk if you said Umbra. 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.589 The moon's orbit is tilted relative to 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.509 Earth's orbit around the sun. So, in 00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:41.270 order for a total solar eclipse to 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.670 occur, all three must be perfectly 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.430 aligned. 00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:47.430 The celestial sky put on quite a show 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:49.589 this past week. A total solar eclipse 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.910 crossed over Iceland, Greenland, Spain, 00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:54.070 and Russia. For about two minutes, the 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.309 moon lined up perfectly with the sun, 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.309 plunging several countries into 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.377 darkness. 00:04:00.387 --> 00:04:06.149 [cheering] 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.309 >> A glowing white halo of light called the 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.869 corona emerged around the dark disc of 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.270 the moon. Folks who saw it were feeling 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.270 all sorts of emotions. 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.349 >> It was fantastic. 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:19.670 Really touching. Something that I have 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.469 never seen before. It went completely 00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:25.510 dark and suddenly the day came again. 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:28.310 >> I felt goosebumps because 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:31.350 it just make us think about I don't know 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.390 the shortness of life and how time can 00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:36.230 be 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.030 different. 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.030 >> And in a rare alignment on Thursday 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.950 morning, did you catch any of this? The 00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:43.189 northern hemisphere got a dazzling look 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.590 at the Percied meteor shower. Every 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.830 August, Earth passes through debris left 00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:50.870 behind by comet Swift Tuttle. NASA says 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.629 there were excellent viewing conditions 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.110 because the peak of the shower coincided 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.270 with a moonless new moon, allowing 00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:00.310 stargazers to spot 50 to 100 meteors per 00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:02.790 hour. NASA says the Perciads are the 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.110 very best meteor showers to observe from 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.909 Earth. This next story comes with a 00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:10.070 lesson. Do not mess with Harry Potter 00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:11.749 super fans. The Green Link 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.230 interconnector is one of Europe's most 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.070 important energy projects. It's an 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:17.990 undersea cable that's designed to 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.990 connect the electricity grids between 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.629 Ireland and Wales at a price of more 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.510 than half a billion dollars. But it was 00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:27.029 originally planned to slice right 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:29.749 through a Harry Potter filming location, 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.590 one that has become somewhat of a sacred 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.950 spot for Potter fans. Our Scata is here 00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:37.350 with what happened next. 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.029 >> Harry Potter fans managed to get an 00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:41.189 electricity project ruted, all to 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.029 protect Dobby's grave. The grave is 00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:44.550 actually a memorial for the fictional 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.990 character on a beach in Wales where 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.070 Dobby's death scene was filmed. It's a 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:49.830 popular tourist spot where fans leave 00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:51.590 stones and some travel across the world 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.590 to visit. The Green Link Intercolctor 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.430 carries electricity between Britain and 00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.029 Ireland through cables going under the 00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:58.469 Irish Sea. During the project's 00:05:58.479 --> 00:05:59.990 development, its planned route was set 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.670 to go through the fan-made memorial to 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.670 Dobby the Elf. That's before fans caught 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.350 wind of the plan. Former project manager 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.510 Simon Ludlham said in a podcast. He said 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:08.950 they received hundreds of calls 00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:10.550 protesting the route after the plans 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.230 were revealed. So, they ultimately 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.830 changed the planned route to avoid the 00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:15.510 grave. It's actually not the first time 00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:17.990 the memorial has been saved. In 2022, 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.670 the National Trust considered removing 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.749 it or relocating it because of the 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.189 environmental impact it was having on 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.950 the beach. In the end, they decided that 00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:26.950 it could stay open as long as visitors 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:28.790 stopped leaving socks and other items 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.790 that could harm the environment. 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.550 >> Now, to a story that is proof that 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.629 people are never too young to dream big, 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.469 and it's never too late to make those 00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:39.189 dreams a reality. When Tahira Reed Smith 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.029 was in third grade, she drew a picture 00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:42.710 of something she always wished she could 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.270 have, an automated double Dutch jump 00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:47.749 rope machine. Now, four decades later, 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.990 she's an engineer and she has turned her 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.230 childhood dream into a rope spinning 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.550 reality. I'll skip the puns and let our 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.270 scout Richards jump right in for more. 00:06:57.280 --> 00:06:59.589 >> This third grade drawing became a real 00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:03.270 invention. This was in 1986 and I all I 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:04.790 remember the assignment was was to draw 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.710 a picture of something you wish you 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.510 could have and I was an only child at 00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:11.670 the time. I love jumping double Dutch. 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.830 >> Now an engineering professor, Reed Smith 00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:15.830 turned her childhood idea into a real 00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:17.830 automated double Dutch machine prototype 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:20.070 that turns the rope for you. And she 00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:21.830 even reunited with her third grade 00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:23.430 teacher in the Bronx to show her what 00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:24.950 became of that assignment. 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:27.510 >> I was really emotional about it this 00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:29.430 morning. And there's a real teacher that 00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:33.189 I had that was part of that memory. 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.150 >> Tish has certainly shown me that 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.270 anything is possible. And if you have an 00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:41.990 idea in mind, um, don't give up on your 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:42.469 dreams. 00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:43.670 >> Go up a little faster. 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.510 >> Members of Chicago's 40 plus double 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:47.110 Dutch club got to give the machine a 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:47.749 whirl. 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.309 >> If you have a turning machine, then 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.150 anybody can jump. And it's even 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:53.749 something that can help people learn how 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.990 to jump. Now Reed Smith hopes to bring 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.469 her invention, aptly called Jump Dreams, 00:07:58.479 --> 00:08:05.909 into production. 00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:07.350 All right, this week's story getting a 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.670 10 out of 10 is you. The 10th of the 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.189 month was Monday, so that means we are 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.110 highlighting some of our viewers top 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.830 moments of 2026 so far. A lot of 00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.749 international submissions this month. 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.390 So, let's kick it off in China where We 00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:21.990 Ling just passed her national 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.710 post-graduate entrance exam and she 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.150 received an offer from her dream 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.710 university. She says, "It is my proudest 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.029 yes, I did it moment of the whole year. 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:32.949 We are so happy for you and love seeing 00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:34.709 your two furry fans celebrating with 00:08:34.719 --> 00:08:37.589 you.
