00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:13.669
What's up, sunshine? I'm Coy Wire. This

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.589
is CNN 10, your daily 10 minutes of

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.109
news, where I simply tell you the what,

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:18.870
letting you decide what to think. Thank

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:20.390
you so much for spending part of your

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.630
day with us. Let's get smarter. Now, we

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.550
begin today in the Democratic Republic

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:27.029
of Congo, where an Ebola outbreak has

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.189
crossed a grim milestone. It is

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.429
officially the deadliest Ebola outbreak

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:33.030
in the country's history. More than

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:36.310
2,300 people have died. Nearly 5,000

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.790
cases have been confirmed, surpassing

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:41.510
the death toll from Congo's devastating

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.709
2018 to 2020 outbreak. This outbreak is

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.869
being driven by the Bundi Buujo strain

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:49.430
of Ebola, a rare form of the virus which

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.150
there is no currently approved vaccine

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:54.950
or proven treatment for. Its fatality

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.510
ratio is nearly one in every two cases.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.750
Clinical trials are underway for a

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:02.310
strain specific vaccine as well as two

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.270
antiviral therapies. The outbreak was

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.950
officially declared in May, but

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:08.630
officials believe it may have started as

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.350
early as February. Ebola spreads through

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:14.149
direct contact with bodily fluids of

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.789
infected people and can cause fever,

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.510
vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases,

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:22.310
internal and external bleeding. Much of

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:23.990
the outbreak is occurring in areas

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.749
already dealing with weak health care

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:27.990
systems, community resistance, and

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.070
political instability.

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:32.550
Now to Hawaii, where Hurricane La has

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.310
moved on, but for much of the Big

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:36.149
Island, the cleanup is just beginning.

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.230
The governor says at least 100 homes

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:40.230
have been damaged. Check out this video

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:42.230
from the Hawaii National Guard. The

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:44.069
sheer force of the water at the height

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.630
of the storm pushed a truck off the

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.030
road. over 30 inches, that's two and a

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.510
half feet of rain falling in some areas

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:53.270
of the Big Island. But weather

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.350
forecasters are hopeful that the rest of

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:57.190
the Atlantic hurricane season, which

00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.590
ends in November, will remain quieter

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:01.510
than normal. One reason, something

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:03.350
happening thousands of miles away in the

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:06.149
Pacific Ocean, El Nino. It occurs when

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.910
waters in the central and eastern

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.710
tropical Pacific become unusually warm.

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:12.869
And while the National Oceanic and

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.670
Atmospheric Administration or Noah says

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.750
that there's a strong chance this super

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.750
El Nino will become the strongest on

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:22.550
record, aka lots of rain. That could

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.430
mean fewer hurricanes. Our meteorologist

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:28.470
Derek Vanam is here to explain. Strong

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:30.630
Elnos like the one that's building right

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:33.190
now have an outsized influence on the

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:35.430
Atlantic hurricane season, reducing both

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:37.270
the number and the strength of tropical

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.830
systems. Now, El Nino isn't just about

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.070
the warmer waters here in the Pacific.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.710
It's also a change in global circulation

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:47.509
patterns. These altered patterns shift

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:49.350
sinking air across the tropical

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.070
Atlantic, stabilizing the atmosphere,

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.910
reducing thunderstorm development that's

00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:55.589
needed to create a hurricane.

00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.990
Additionally, these circulation changes,

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.150
they help displace the jetream across

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:02.229
the tropical Atlantic. These strong

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:04.149
upper level winds create wind shear,

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.229
which is a hostile environment for

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:08.550
tropical development and can deliver a

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.110
death blow to an emerging hurricane. In

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.790
the early stages of a tropical storm's

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.190
life, it needs a calm environment at all

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.270
levels of the atmosphere to grow. When

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.670
wind shear is introduced, it disrupts

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.190
this vertical alignment, making it

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:22.949
harder for thunderstorms to organize

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:25.509
into a tropical system and get stronger.

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:27.670
Now, think of a hurricane as a spinning

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.990
top. Wind shear would be like pushing

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.949
this top and altering its spin. This is

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:35.030
particularly disruptive when the top is

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:37.190
spinning slowly, just like the early

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:39.430
formative stages of a tropical system.

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:41.270
With more wind shear around, it's harder

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.350
for budding hurricanes to get over that

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.509
hump. Now, while wind shear and sinking

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:47.750
air can put a big dent in tropical

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:49.430
activity throughout the Atlantic, it

00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:51.110
doesn't eliminate it altogether.

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.270
Previous El Nino seasons, like the

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.789
destruction brought on by Hurricane

00:03:54.799 --> 00:03:57.509
Andrew in 1992, have proven that it only

00:03:57.519 --> 00:03:59.910
takes one landfall to make this a

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:02.149
catastrophic season. So, be hurricane

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.830
ready this year by downloading the

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.270
allnew CNN weather app. From storms

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.110
influenced by the ocean to storms

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.509
literally made by fire, and scientists

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:13.750
are calling in a cold war legend to help

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.750
understand them. NASA is using a

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:18.870
modified version of a U2 spy plane to

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:21.110
study how wildfires help generate

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.749
storms. The U2, nicknamed the Dragon

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.990
Lady, is capable of flying at extreme

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.710
altitudes of up to 80,000 ft, more than

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.629
twice as high as a typical commercial

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.110
flight. It served as a crucial eye in

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.030
the sky for the United States during the

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.590
Cold War and has played a pivotal role

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.310
in aerial surveillance ever since. This

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:43.030
version, dubbed the ER2, is like a

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.430
flying laboratory. Instead of spying on

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:47.510
adversaries, though, it's spying on

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:49.510
fire. Scientists are getting a bird's

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:52.870
eyee view of pyrouumulo nimbus clouds or

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:55.350
fire clouds as they form. They're some

00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.270
of Earth's least understood weather

00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:59.990
phenomena. A wildfire can become so hot

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.070
that it forces massive amounts of heated

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:04.629
air, smoke, and moisture upward and

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.029
essentially builds its own thunderstorm.

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:09.350
These fire clouds can produce lightning,

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.749
strong winds, and in some cases, fire

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.830
tornadoes. Scientists hope that these

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:15.350
missions will allow them to better

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.749
understand and possibly predict these

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.430
erratic storms in the future.

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.749
Pop quiz hot shot. What color is a polar

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:34.870
bear's skin? White, pink, tan, or black?

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:37.510
If you said black, very good. Polar

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:40.390
bears have jet black skin to help them

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:42.310
absorb heat from the sun. And while

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:44.310
their fur coats appear white, they're

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:46.550
actually clear. Their transparent hairs

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.710
collect and scatter sunlight, making

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.830
them appear white. Our next story makes

00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:54.310
one point perfectly clear. Let sleeping

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:56.710
bears lie. One man learned this the hard

00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.510
way, disturbing a slumbering polar bear.

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.510
This happened in Norway's Spalbard

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:03.909
Archipelago, a remote chain of Arctic

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:05.990
islands roughly halfway between mainland

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.790
Norway and the North Pole. Last August,

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.629
a person aboard a vessel reportedly

00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.830
sounded a fog horn near a sleeping polar

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.309
bear. Bear wakes up, bear moves away,

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.189
and on Thursday, human gets Bill.

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.749
Authorities issued a fine of 50,000

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.150
Norwegian croner. It's roughly $5,300 US

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.830
determining the horn was used to

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:30.469
deliberately disturb the animal.

00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:32.230
Svalbard has strict protections for

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.309
polar bears, including rules prohibiting

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.710
people from unnecessarily disturbing,

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.110
luring, or pursuing them, and people

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.110
shouldn't wake them because they need

00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:42.950
their rest. They're built to conserve

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:44.790
energy in an environment where their

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.590
next meal isn't guaranteed. If we think

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.350
we've achieved anything on our own,

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.270
we're foolish. We've all had people help

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:53.350
us become who we are. We're nothing more

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.510
than conduits of knowledge and energy

00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:57.270
and what we have is not for us to

00:06:57.280 --> 00:06:59.350
possess, it's for us to pass on.

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.749
Legendary coach Dusty Baker shared that

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.589
message with my football team and it

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:05.430
stuck with me throughout my NFL playing

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:07.830
days. We can gain great wisdom learning

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:09.589
from our elders. Right. Well, that's

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:11.589
something that teenager Luke Morrison

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:14.070
understood at a young age. At 13, he

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:16.070
took an old camper that his grandfather

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:18.150
was ready to throw away and transformed

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.189
it into a full-on military museum behind

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.670
his house in Vermont. He collects rare

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.550
items and stories to share with others.

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.749
Darren Parn from our affiliate WCAX has

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:30.950
the story.

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:32.950
>> I've been interested in military history

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:33.749
for a while.

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.430
>> Luke's just 15.

00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:36.710
>> They could conceal like this,

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.550
>> but knows more about military

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.749
memorabilia than most people. It started

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.589
with an ammunition box,

00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:45.029
>> and I saw it as the coolest thing in the

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:45.430
world,

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:48.070
>> but it's grown to include rare finds,

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:50.230
some prized possessions like his

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.309
grandfather's Air Force uniform.

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.629
>> He served in the States during Vietnam,

00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.990
>> not only collecting military souvenirs,

00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.990
but war stories, too.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.830
>> Well, I might be a paratrooper.

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:05.430
>> I'm very grateful towards them and u and

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:07.510
patriotic. I always come away very

00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:10.150
patriotic and a lot smarter than I was

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:10.790
before.

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.270
>> And his collection has grown so much

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:15.990
he's had to expand. Luke just got a

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.350
second mobile camper to take his museum

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.309
on the road. It appears Luke is the

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.110
youngest founder of a military museum in

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.150
the country.

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.189
>> I I feel like it's extremely important

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.270
to a remember history because there's a

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:32.870
saying I like if you don't remember

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:34.949
history, you're going to repeat it. And

00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:36.949
B, we got to remember the sacrifice of

00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:39.829
the veterans and who gave us our

00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:45.750
freedom.

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:47.430
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.509
proves that sometimes your job stinks

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.430
until you strike gold. A construction

00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.829
crew in Belgium was installing a sewer

00:08:53.839 --> 00:08:56.389
line beneath a former brewery when their

00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.470
drill hit something decidedly not

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.949
sewage, gold. And not just a little,

00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:03.430
we're talking gold. bars and coins worth

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.829
an estimated 9 million euros. That's

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:09.030
about 10.5 million US bucks. Authorities

00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:11.110
moved the treasure to a secure location

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.829
while investigators work to determine

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:16.389
where it came from and who legally owns

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.630
it. And my favorite part, one member of

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:20.550
the construction crew was a student

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:22.710
working a part-time job. That's worth

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.710
putting on a resume. Teamwork,

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.870
proficient in word, and in locating

00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:29.190
buried treasures. It is shout out time

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.590
now. And first in line, all of the

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.829
access teachers at Klein Kain High

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:36.389
School in Spring, Texas. I see you. Keep

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.870
inspiring and helping people shine. We

00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:40.949
so appreciate you. And this shout out

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:43.829
goes to Coach Bilbo and all of my

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:46.230
Jaguars at North Pike Junior High in

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.030
