What's up everyone?

I'm Koi Wire.

This is CNN 10 and it is your word Wednesday.

Today you helped us write this show.

So listen up for your words as we travel from a history-making boat to history making football to robots that are now running faster than humans.

Let's get you your news for August 26th.

And on this day in history, 1920, American women officially gained the constitutional right to vote.

The 19th Amendment was formally certified 106 years ago today.

The amendment prohibits the federal government or any state from denying a citizen the right to vote based on sex.

It capped more than 70 years of activism by the women's suffrage movement, led by figures like Susan B.

Anthony and Elizabeth Katie Stanton.

An estimated 26 million women became eligible to vote in that 1920 US election.

But the amendment didn't make voting equal overnight.

Pole taxes, discriminatory local laws, and other barriers continued preventing many women of color from exercising that right for decades.

Now to Iran, where ceasefire negotiations have gone arry and amid the fallout from war, women are once again facing increased scrutiny over something deeply personal, what they wear.

Social media video delineates women being shamed on the streets even more so if they don't have the mandated hijab.

A headscarf associated with the religious tradition of covering the hair, ears, and neck.

Our Joanna Karacha has more on why the crackdown is intensifying now.

This woman is being publicly shamed by another woman for showing her bare legs in Iran.

Eventually, officers arrive and make her put on pants.

This scene is being played out in cities across the country.

The focus seems to be turning back to how women are allowed to dress.

At the height of the war, women without headscarfs were even seen at progovernment gatherings.

The regime seemed to have bigger priorities, but now hardliners are pushing the hijab back on the agenda.

Cafes, restaurants, and shops are being shut down for failing to enforce mandatory dress codes.

Hardline clerics are demanding tougher enforcement.

This cleric speaking directly to President Massud Peskan.

But there's a problem for the regime.

Iranian women are not backing down.

Four years ago, the death of Masa Amini in custody after being detained by the so-called morality police ignited the woman life freedom protest.

The uprising was brutally suppressed, but widespread acts of defiance survived.

Today, women walk through Iranian cities without headscarfs and ride motorcycles through Tehran, Shiraz, and Esvahan.

As the war with the US seems to stall, an old confrontation is bubbling up.

Tick tick tick 10 second trivia.

Which of these traits is unique to the big cats that make up the genus pantherra?

Retractable claws, roaring, night vision, or patterned coats?

If you said roaring, you were born to be heard.

Like lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars.

The only cats that can roar.

And get this, the same bone that allows them to roar also prevents them from purring.

And I'm not lying.

to Argentina now where dozens of lions and tigers have just been rescued from an abandoned zoo which had become a dangerous tourist attraction.

The animals were removed from their overcrowded enclosures and are now being transferred to animal sanctuaries around the globe.

Our Isabelle Rosales has more.

>> A chance at a new life.

That's what these big cats now have after being moved to new sanctuaries across the world.

At first we try also not to make radical change but the quality of life will change.

They will have hundreds of square meters.

They will have a proper food, a proper medical care.

They were forgotten for many years and I think now it will be a new life for them.

>> The lions and tigers were rescued from a former zoo near Buenocidis shut down by Argentine officials in 2020 over safety concerns.

The zoo was known for letting visitors handle the animals.

In 2025, global animal welfare organization Forpaws took on responsibility for the animals.

Veterinarians brought in to treat the big cats said they found many injuries like deformed paws from declawing, kidney disease, and open wounds.

>> So, we found um various um um injuries on the skin, on the tail, on the ears.

So we have some broken canines which is very common in big cats and when they are do this barbiting.

>> Now fourpaws sent 30 of them to sanctuaries in the US and South Africa to start their new lives.

>> When we started with a complete medical examination of all these animals here in Lhan Zoo.

Based on this examination, we evaluated that uh there are several animals that need urgent attention and uh they they need to be moved to sanctuaries and places where this is possible to be uh uh um insured.

>> This week 15 of these tigers and lions were taken to Lions Rock big cat sanctuary in South Africa which is owned by four paws while the other 15 were transferred to the wild animal sanctuary in Colorado.

I feel well when I reach to my destination with the animal and when I see them I feel how it is valuable to save a life >> whether they're in Colorado or South Africa.

Forpaw says these big cats will get to experience life as close to their natural habitat as possible tailored to their specific needs and that family groups and lifelong companions will remain together in their new sanctuary homes.

But most importantly, they'll finally be able to get the care they need.

>> Now to an NFL moment that's bigger than football.

History has been made.

Shiaz Pete has become the first member of the Navajo Nation to play in the NFL.

The 6'9 Dallas Cowboys rookie offensive lineman took the field against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale.

Shiaz was shocked to see thousands of Navajo Nation members in the stands.

When he entered the game in the fourth quarter helping Dallas score a touchdown, the crowd erupted.

His teammates stood to the side to let him have his moment.

When asked what he saw, he said, "Hope and courage." Afterwards, he was celebrated in the locker room by his teammates and his coach.

>> But I saw something I've never seen before.

25 years in the NFL.

An entire section cheering for one man.

>> This game fate brought us here as strangers.

But this game, this star, this team will make us brothers.

Chinese robots are now beating the apex of human athletic achievements at this year's World Humanoid Robot Games.

It's the second year China has hosted the competition as it aggressively invests in the robotics industry.

But there is far more at stake here than seeing which droid will cross the finish line.

Our Mike Valerio reports.

>> Some astonishing and not so astonishing feats in one of the Olympic stadiums here in Beijing.

A humanoid robot named Lightning ran the 100 meter race faster than Usain Bolt's world record.

But you know these competitors, they don't need protein drinks.

They need batteries.

Here at the World Humanoid Robot Games, Robo athletes are being tested like never before.

More than 2,000 robots from 16 countries are registered for this year's games.

And we have kickboxing, football, table tennis, and some of these events are getting much harder.

The 400 meter race, for example, is now totally autonomous.

It's reading, "These robots need to see the track, navigate it, and cross the finish line without anybody guiding them by remote control." And this is actually part of the point.

When a robot falls, gets confused, or manages to recover on its own, engineers get a real world test of technology they ultimately want working outside the arena.

China's made embodied AI, which is essentially AI in a physical body, a national priority.

And the government has backed research, training centers, and real world testing.

As so many Chinese universities and companies have raced to build better robot bodies and even smarter robot brains.

So the real competition here isn't just robot versus robot.

It's how quickly China can move these machines from spectacle to something a little bit more useful.

And judging by what we're seeing here, there are both some amazing achievements and a little bit more training to do.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

A real life example of teamwork that makes the dream work.

In Japan, about a thousand people chosen by lottery were recruited to help move this 400 ton castle back to its original place.

Their method, grit, muscle, and a bit of tugofwar.

The Hiroaki Castle was originally moved in 2015 so workers could repair the stone wall beneath it, which supported the structure.

This month's big move traveled a grand total of one meter, around three feet.

But those biceps and triceps will be getting quite a few more reps.

While the repairs are done, it's expected to take the rest of the year to move this whimsical heavyweight back to its original footprint.

That's a monumental move, literally.

All right, we have an extra special your word Wednesday today because our friends at the Stratton School in Maine sent us this vocabulary adventure book.

First up, delineate.

Did you hear that word in the show?

A verb that means to precisely describe, portray, or outline something in detail.

I see you, Jasper.

Kind of like that purple jacket.

We also worked in arai, an adjective or adverb that means not going according to plan.

Emma, great word.

Absolutely love it.

Finally, autumn gave us one of my favorite words, whimsical, which means playful, imaginative, or fanciful in an unusual way.

You all made us smarter today by delineating each of these words.

May your imaginations be full of whimsy and your plans never go ary.

Stay curious, my friends.
