00:07.350 --> 00:10.439
[Applause]

00:11.519 --> 00:13.599
What's up, sunshine? Terrific Tuesday to

00:13.599 --> 00:14.960
you. I'm Koi Wire. Thank you for

00:14.960 --> 00:16.320
spending part of your day with me here

00:16.320 --> 00:19.039
on CNN 10. The best 10 minutes in news

00:19.039 --> 00:20.720
because of you. We've got a lot to get

00:20.720 --> 00:22.880
to today. Not a lot of time to do it, so

00:22.880 --> 00:24.800
let's get to it. We begin with the

00:24.800 --> 00:27.119
high-tech race that's revolutionizing

00:27.119 --> 00:30.080
the battlefield. Drone warfare has

00:30.080 --> 00:32.239
become a staple in combat zones around

00:32.239 --> 00:34.480
the world, including in Russia's war on

00:34.480 --> 00:37.600
Ukraine. Unmanned aerial vehicles, or

00:37.600 --> 00:40.160
UAVs, can be as small as a hummingbird

00:40.160 --> 00:42.879
or as big as a fighter jet. They allow

00:42.879 --> 00:44.960
soldiers to engage in remote combat,

00:44.960 --> 00:46.719
carrying out precision strikes from

00:46.719 --> 00:48.800
miles away. They're also crucial for

00:48.800 --> 00:50.960
conducting surveillance and gathering

00:50.960 --> 00:53.280
intelligence. And as the tech behind

00:53.280 --> 00:55.520
them rapidly evolves, militaries around

00:55.520 --> 00:57.680
the world are racing to keep up. Our

00:57.680 --> 00:59.840
Haley Britzky got an uplose look at how

00:59.840 --> 01:02.079
the US military is training its next

01:02.079 --> 01:06.440
generation of drone operators.

01:07.119 --> 01:09.439
Small but lethal drones have transformed

01:09.439 --> 01:11.920
the battlefield for Ukraine and Russia.

01:11.920 --> 01:13.760
The waring nations are rapidly

01:13.760 --> 01:15.920
innovating because stronger and smarter

01:15.920 --> 01:18.159
technology can literally mean life or

01:18.159 --> 01:20.720
death. But it has also meant a game of

01:20.720 --> 01:22.720
catch-up for America. that we've got to

01:22.720 --> 01:24.720
make sure that we're keeping pace uh

01:24.720 --> 01:26.880
with what technologies emerging so that

01:26.880 --> 01:28.400
if we have to ever employ it, we know

01:28.400 --> 01:29.920
how to use these systems.

01:29.920 --> 01:32.000
These units at Fort Bliss in El Paso,

01:32.000 --> 01:34.320
Texas are learning how to build and fly

01:34.320 --> 01:38.640
FPV or firstperson view drones.

01:38.640 --> 01:40.960
FPV drones are much cheaper and lighter

01:40.960 --> 01:43.119
than many of the US's current drones.

01:43.119 --> 01:44.799
These drones have rapidly transformed

01:44.799 --> 01:46.720
warfare from Ukraine smuggling them

01:46.720 --> 01:48.640
thousands of miles into Russia and one

01:48.640 --> 01:51.360
shocking attack earlier this summer to

01:51.360 --> 01:53.040
Russia launching nightly drone attacks

01:53.040 --> 01:54.799
on Ukrainian cities and civilian

01:54.799 --> 01:56.399
infrastructure.

01:56.399 --> 01:59.200
This is a simulation where um soldiers

01:59.200 --> 02:01.520
will learn how to operate the drones

02:01.520 --> 02:04.000
certainly much more successfully than I

02:04.000 --> 02:06.560
am currently doing it. So they get a hop

02:06.560 --> 02:09.679
on the sim, start flying, and then after

02:09.679 --> 02:11.440
roughly the first day, the next three

02:11.440 --> 02:14.000
days after that is building. Next day

02:14.000 --> 02:16.319
after those three days would be

02:16.319 --> 02:18.080
programming, making sure your drone's

02:18.080 --> 02:18.640
all good.

02:18.640 --> 02:20.480
Once they've practiced flying virtually,

02:20.480 --> 02:22.319
the soldiers take their skills to what

02:22.319 --> 02:24.239
is essentially a training gym for

02:24.239 --> 02:24.959
drones.

02:24.959 --> 02:26.800
So our FPV operators are actually

02:26.800 --> 02:29.520
gaining proficiency of flying in and

02:29.520 --> 02:31.280
out. Uh so actually into an enemy

02:31.280 --> 02:33.280
armored vehicle if they ever needed to

02:33.280 --> 02:35.680
do so. Small unmanned systems like what

02:35.680 --> 02:37.360
we saw at Bliss could be outfitted with

02:37.360 --> 02:39.440
a range of explosives. The soldiers who

02:39.440 --> 02:40.959
operate them wear goggles that allow

02:40.959 --> 02:42.720
them to see what the drone sees. Whether

02:42.720 --> 02:44.160
that's to strike a target like an

02:44.160 --> 02:46.640
armored vehicle or peek into a window.

02:46.640 --> 02:48.800
The Army and the US military as a whole

02:48.800 --> 02:50.879
have recognized that the conversation

02:50.879 --> 02:53.360
about drones and unmanned systems is not

02:53.360 --> 02:55.519
a discussion for the future. It's about

02:55.519 --> 02:57.440
adapting to threats that exist on the

02:57.440 --> 02:59.680
battlefield today.

02:59.680 --> 03:01.680
Pop quiz hot shot. Which profession has

03:01.680 --> 03:03.599
produced more lottery winners than

03:03.599 --> 03:06.080
others? Teachers, construction workers,

03:06.080 --> 03:10.200
truck drivers, or farmers?

03:15.360 --> 03:17.280
Truck drivers is your answer here. Worth

03:17.280 --> 03:19.040
noting, the gas stations or retailers

03:19.040 --> 03:21.360
who sell a winning ticket often receive

03:21.360 --> 03:23.519
a bonus check or commission from the

03:23.519 --> 03:25.840
lottery organization.

03:25.840 --> 03:28.000
Two lucky lottery players will take home

03:28.000 --> 03:29.840
the third largest American lottery

03:29.840 --> 03:32.080
jackpot ever after matching all six

03:32.080 --> 03:34.319
numbers on Saturday. Ticket holders in

03:34.319 --> 03:36.480
Missouri and Texas will split the

03:36.480 --> 03:40.000
whopping 1.8 billion winnings. Their

03:40.000 --> 03:42.959
odds of winning that record pot were 292

03:42.959 --> 03:45.760
million to one. That's more than 20,000

03:45.760 --> 03:47.440
times your odds of being struck by

03:47.440 --> 03:49.440
lightning. And while we may never find

03:49.440 --> 03:51.760
out who the winners are, both states

03:51.760 --> 03:54.000
allow winners to remain anonymous. We

03:54.000 --> 03:55.680
thought this may be a fun opportunity to

03:55.680 --> 03:58.080
do some mathing because hitting it big

03:58.080 --> 04:00.000
is actually a bit more complicated than

04:00.000 --> 04:02.400
just picking up an oversized check.

04:02.400 --> 04:04.799
First, winners have to decide how they

04:04.799 --> 04:06.319
want to collect their winnings. Do you

04:06.319 --> 04:09.040
take a lump sum or an annuity? A lump

04:09.040 --> 04:11.599
sum is a one-time upfront payment. You

04:11.599 --> 04:13.760
get all of your winnings and pay all the

04:13.760 --> 04:16.320
taxes at one time. The catch, it's

04:16.320 --> 04:18.479
usually smaller than the annuity option.

04:18.479 --> 04:20.720
In this case, the jackpot shrinks to

04:20.720 --> 04:23.680
$410 million each before taxes. That's

04:23.680 --> 04:26.080
enough to buy about 800 medianpriced

04:26.080 --> 04:28.240
homes in the United States. Now, if they

04:28.240 --> 04:31.360
take the annuity, they get $893 million

04:31.360 --> 04:33.440
each, but it's spread out over smaller

04:33.440 --> 04:35.680
payments for 30 years. Think of it as a

04:35.680 --> 04:38.160
superersized allowance. Before they go

04:38.160 --> 04:40.000
on a spending spree, however, big

04:40.000 --> 04:42.080
winnings come with some big taxes.

04:42.080 --> 04:43.919
Nearly a quarter of it goes straight to

04:43.919 --> 04:46.639
the IRS and they may be on the hook for

04:46.639 --> 04:49.280
state taxes as well. Many experts say

04:49.280 --> 04:51.360
the first thing winners should do is

04:51.360 --> 04:53.919
enlist financial and legal advice.

04:53.919 --> 04:55.680
You need about two to three weeks at

04:55.680 --> 04:58.320
this level of win to put together a plan

04:58.320 --> 05:01.520
that encompasses taxes as well as uh

05:01.520 --> 05:03.120
what you're what who you're trying to

05:03.120 --> 05:05.919
help. You want to secure your advisors.

05:05.919 --> 05:07.520
You want to secure that attorney that's

05:07.520 --> 05:10.160
going to be the leader of that group who

05:10.160 --> 05:11.919
will put the plan together.

05:11.919 --> 05:14.160
Have you ever wondered where the rest of

05:14.160 --> 05:15.840
the money raised by lottery tickets

05:15.840 --> 05:17.919
goes? You may be closer to the answer

05:17.919 --> 05:19.680
than you think. Many states, including

05:19.680 --> 05:21.680
Texas and Missouri, use funds from

05:21.680 --> 05:24.160
lottery ticket sales to fund education,

05:24.160 --> 05:25.919
including college scholarships and

05:25.919 --> 05:28.960
programs like prek. Now, you have to be

05:28.960 --> 05:30.720
at least 18 years old to play the

05:30.720 --> 05:32.800
lottery in the majority of states. But

05:32.800 --> 05:34.400
press pause, chat it out with friends

05:34.400 --> 05:36.800
and family. What do you think if you

05:36.800 --> 05:38.320
ever did win the lottery? Would you take

05:38.320 --> 05:40.320
the lump sum of cash or the smaller

05:40.320 --> 05:43.440
annuity payments over time? Why? Also,

05:43.440 --> 05:46.080
what would you spend it on? And would

05:46.080 --> 05:48.960
you keep it a secret? Discuss.

05:48.960 --> 05:50.800
Imagine trading your surfboard for snow

05:50.800 --> 05:52.720
boots or your cowboy hat for a subway

05:52.720 --> 05:55.199
mat. That's exactly what some teens in

05:55.199 --> 05:57.440
the US are doing through a free exchange

05:57.440 --> 05:59.680
program that doesn't require a passport.

05:59.680 --> 06:01.520
All it takes is a willingness to live

06:01.520 --> 06:03.759
life in an entirely different community

06:03.759 --> 06:06.479
for one week. CNN's Nicholas Blat shows

06:06.479 --> 06:09.360
us how one nonprofit is changing the way

06:09.360 --> 06:13.639
some teens see America.

06:13.759 --> 06:15.520
This is the first time I've been away

06:15.520 --> 06:17.520
from home. The first time I went on an

06:17.520 --> 06:18.240
airplane.

06:18.240 --> 06:20.160
I'm Ron is from Wilmer, Minnesota.

06:20.160 --> 06:22.240
And I look up and it's like a mountain.

06:22.240 --> 06:24.080
Ivy from Haramman, Utah.

06:24.080 --> 06:26.080
Crazy. Everybody tells you, "Oh, this is

06:26.080 --> 06:27.680
the time in your life. You need to meet

06:27.680 --> 06:29.919
new people, go see new things." But I

06:29.919 --> 06:34.080
don't know how. And so really doing this

06:34.080 --> 06:37.280
right now has been incredible.

06:37.280 --> 06:38.639
They just graduated high school.

06:38.639 --> 06:40.000
You remind me of my best friend.

06:40.000 --> 06:42.400
Oh, bro, she's so she looks so cool.

06:42.400 --> 06:44.160
And they've been thrown together with

06:44.160 --> 06:45.840
eight other teenagers from around the

06:45.840 --> 06:49.199
country to have a heck of a lot of fun

06:49.199 --> 06:51.600
and return home having learned something

06:51.600 --> 06:52.319
special.

06:52.319 --> 06:54.000
I'm also the first person to come out

06:54.000 --> 06:56.240
this far from my family. I know that

06:56.240 --> 06:58.240
they're proud of me for doing it. This

06:58.240 --> 07:00.720
week-long trip is free and part of the

07:00.720 --> 07:02.639
American Exchange Project started 6

07:02.639 --> 07:05.199
years ago by David Mcola III who got the

07:05.199 --> 07:07.440
idea after his own life-changing trip

07:07.440 --> 07:08.720
across the United States.

07:08.720 --> 07:10.080
We're going to miss you.

07:10.080 --> 07:10.800
Goodbye.

07:10.800 --> 07:12.720
Which gave him a front row seat into how

07:12.720 --> 07:14.720
this country became so divided and

07:14.720 --> 07:17.039
offered one potential solution.

07:17.039 --> 07:19.759
There's an antidote to prejudice. It's

07:19.759 --> 07:22.479
connection. Connecting with people under

07:22.479 --> 07:24.639
the right circumstances. The exchange

07:24.639 --> 07:26.960
now happens in 55 locations across the

07:26.960 --> 07:27.599
country.

07:27.599 --> 07:30.800
I am going to Arkansas

07:30.800 --> 07:32.800
and is paid for by grants and individual

07:32.800 --> 07:33.280
donors.

07:33.280 --> 07:34.880
Going to Maine.

07:34.880 --> 07:37.520
Nearly 600 kids participated this year.

07:37.520 --> 07:40.080
We send them for free to an American

07:40.080 --> 07:42.160
hometown that is culturally and

07:42.160 --> 07:45.039
politically and socioeconomically very

07:45.039 --> 07:46.400
different from the one that they're

07:46.400 --> 07:48.560
growing up in.

07:48.560 --> 07:50.560
Harley Hardman traveled from her home in

07:50.560 --> 07:52.560
Lake Charles, Louisiana to Anchorage,

07:52.560 --> 07:53.680
Alaska last year.

07:53.680 --> 07:56.319
My experience in Anchorage, Alaska was

07:56.319 --> 07:58.639
absolutely mindblowing. It was

07:58.639 --> 08:00.160
definitely something that altered my

08:00.160 --> 08:02.479
brain chemistry. Never in my life would

08:02.479 --> 08:04.319
I have thought I would be able to hike a

08:04.319 --> 08:07.039
glacier and like stick my arm into the

08:07.039 --> 08:10.520
glacier water.

08:11.120 --> 08:13.440
Every time I look back on my trip to

08:13.440 --> 08:16.639
Alaska, hi baby. I'm always wondering

08:16.639 --> 08:18.800
what ways can I push myself out of the

08:18.800 --> 08:23.360
box like I did while I was in Alaska.

08:23.360 --> 08:25.599
I think that a week in another town

08:25.599 --> 08:27.039
ought to be as common to the high school

08:27.039 --> 08:29.039
experience as the prom. I think what

08:29.039 --> 08:31.440
we're working on should be America's

08:31.440 --> 08:35.200
next civic coming of age ritual.

08:35.200 --> 08:38.179
[Applause]

08:38.179 --> 08:40.000
[Music]

08:40.000 --> 08:41.839
Who's Yeti for today's story getting a

08:41.839 --> 08:43.760
10 out of 10. One community hears the

08:43.760 --> 08:48.279
call of the wild and calls right back.

08:50.110 --> 08:53.259
[Music]

08:54.640 --> 08:56.720
Do not adjust your speakers. These are

08:56.720 --> 08:58.800
highlights from the annual Sasquatch

08:58.800 --> 09:01.120
calling contest in Glenburn, Maine.

09:01.120 --> 09:03.040
Organizers say the event aims to bring

09:03.040 --> 09:05.120
attention to the famous crypted while

09:05.120 --> 09:07.519
bringing the community together. So, who

09:07.519 --> 09:09.279
won this year's battle for the biggest

09:09.279 --> 09:11.760
and baddest Bigfoot bellow? That would

09:11.760 --> 09:14.160
be 7-year-old Ganon hooting and

09:14.160 --> 09:15.680
hollering his way to the top of the

09:15.680 --> 09:18.080
crowded field with some squatchtacular

09:18.080 --> 09:20.959
tones, claiming local fame and a $100

09:20.959 --> 09:23.440
prize.

09:23.440 --> 09:25.200
Whether they believe in Bigfoot or not,

09:25.200 --> 09:27.120
residents all agree on one thing. The
