WEBVTT 00:11.360 --> 00:13.920 Hello and rise up. I'm Koi Wire. This is 00:13.920 --> 00:16.560 CNN 10. Happy Friday. I've got your 10 00:16.560 --> 00:17.760 minutes of news, breaking down 00:17.760 --> 00:19.439 complicated stories with easy to 00:19.439 --> 00:21.279 understand explanations, representing 00:21.279 --> 00:23.760 all sides equally. No opinion, no slant, 00:23.760 --> 00:25.600 simply giving you the what, letting you 00:25.600 --> 00:28.240 decide what to think. We start with an 00:28.240 --> 00:30.720 atmospheric river that's drenching parts 00:30.720 --> 00:32.640 of Washington and Oregon in the 00:32.640 --> 00:34.719 northwestern United States. What's an 00:34.719 --> 00:37.120 atmospheric river? So glad you asked. It 00:37.120 --> 00:39.840 is a plume or elongated feathered out 00:39.840 --> 00:41.920 band of moisture which transports 00:41.920 --> 00:44.399 heavily saturated air from the tropics 00:44.399 --> 00:46.480 either north or south away from the 00:46.480 --> 00:48.879 equator. And while they're a key source 00:48.879 --> 00:50.480 of rainfall in the western United 00:50.480 --> 00:53.039 States, the relentless rainfall can on 00:53.039 --> 00:55.199 occasion fuel catastrophic conditions 00:55.199 --> 00:57.760 like those we're seeing this week. Parts 00:57.760 --> 00:59.760 of Washington have been pounded by more 00:59.760 --> 01:02.320 than 10 ines of rain in the span of just 01:02.320 --> 01:04.799 days, leading the governor to officially 01:04.799 --> 01:07.360 declare a state of emergency. Flooding 01:07.360 --> 01:09.680 and debris have closed dozens of roads 01:09.680 --> 01:12.159 across the state. Mudslides backed up 01:12.159 --> 01:14.560 traffic and trapped drivers on a major 01:14.560 --> 01:17.200 interstate. One woman who lives about 30 01:17.200 --> 01:19.200 minutes east of Seattle shared this 01:19.200 --> 01:22.479 video of water up to her calves inside 01:22.479 --> 01:25.759 her home. And while more than 100,000 01:25.759 --> 01:27.920 people have been asked to evacuate, 01:27.920 --> 01:30.240 those who couldn't get out in time had 01:30.240 --> 01:32.960 to be rescued by helicopter or boat. 01:32.960 --> 01:35.040 >> We've never seen this to this extent 01:35.040 --> 01:38.159 before. Swiftwater Rescue here helping 01:38.159 --> 01:39.840 people get out cuz there was a couple 01:39.840 --> 01:41.680 over there in the the far corner that 01:41.680 --> 01:43.200 was elderly. They couldn't even get out. 01:43.200 --> 01:45.040 They were stuck there. Nobody could 01:45.040 --> 01:46.479 nobody could get to them. 01:46.479 --> 01:48.560 >> Emergency officials say at least 26 01:48.560 --> 01:50.479 rivers in the state are still at risk of 01:50.479 --> 01:52.560 flooding in the coming days and some 01:52.560 --> 01:55.360 have already risen more than 6 ft above 01:55.360 --> 01:57.920 previous records. 01:57.920 --> 02:00.399 Pop quiz shot. What causes quicksand to 02:00.399 --> 02:02.960 form in an area? Earthquakes, sand mixed 02:02.960 --> 02:05.200 with clay and water, lava cooling, or 02:05.200 --> 02:08.600 heavy winds? 02:10.959 --> 02:13.680 Answer is when sand mixes with clay and 02:13.680 --> 02:15.520 water, it becomes what is called a 02:15.520 --> 02:17.760 non-Newtonian fluid, where the fluid's 02:17.760 --> 02:20.239 viscosity or thickness or resistance to 02:20.239 --> 02:22.560 flow changes depending on the force 02:22.560 --> 02:25.440 applied to it. I have a sinking feeling 02:25.440 --> 02:27.440 about this next story. Officials at 02:27.440 --> 02:30.000 Utah's Arches National Park conducted an 02:30.000 --> 02:32.400 unusual search rescue operation earlier 02:32.400 --> 02:35.360 this week after a hiker became stuck in 02:35.360 --> 02:37.599 quicksand. Turns out it's not just 02:37.599 --> 02:40.000 something from old cartoons and Indiana 02:40.000 --> 02:42.160 Jones movies. Austin Dirks is an 02:42.160 --> 02:44.319 experienced hiker, but he found himself 02:44.319 --> 02:46.720 suddenly sinking and then stuck while 02:46.720 --> 02:48.800 traversing one of the park's picturesque 02:48.800 --> 02:50.959 canyons. It was my left leg that went 02:50.959 --> 02:52.480 through first. I was able to pull it out 02:52.480 --> 02:54.239 and then I shifted all my weight to my 02:54.239 --> 02:56.800 right foot and I sunk up to the knee. 02:56.800 --> 02:58.959 But it felt like I had stepped into 02:58.959 --> 03:01.519 concrete and then it hardened around my 03:01.519 --> 03:02.879 leg. I couldn't even move it a 03:02.879 --> 03:03.599 millimeter. 03:03.599 --> 03:06.319 >> Luckily, Mr. Dirks was able to activate 03:06.319 --> 03:08.720 his emergency satellite beacon. Rescue 03:08.720 --> 03:11.040 crews spotted him by drone and pulled 03:11.040 --> 03:13.280 him out a few hours later. And while 03:13.280 --> 03:15.840 quicksand rescues are extremely rare, 03:15.840 --> 03:18.000 they're not unheard of. Back in 2014, 03:18.000 --> 03:20.400 emergency responders rescued a woman who 03:20.400 --> 03:23.440 was stranded in quicksand for 13 hours 03:23.440 --> 03:27.519 on the same trail. No thank you. Pizza, 03:27.519 --> 03:29.599 pasta, parmesan, and everything in 03:29.599 --> 03:32.000 between. Italian cuisine has just been 03:32.000 --> 03:34.080 designated as a prestigious global 03:34.080 --> 03:35.920 phenomenon. It's the first ever 03:35.920 --> 03:38.239 gastronomic style to be recognized by 03:38.239 --> 03:40.560 UNESCO, the United Nations Cultural 03:40.560 --> 03:43.200 Division. Our Issa Suarez went into an 03:43.200 --> 03:45.200 Italian restaurant kitchen where some of 03:45.200 --> 03:47.200 the magic happens to find out what the 03:47.200 --> 03:49.920 honor means to the chef. 03:49.920 --> 03:51.519 >> But as an Italian, what does this 03:51.519 --> 03:52.720 recognition mean? 03:52.720 --> 03:55.040 >> This recognition means a lot. We in 03:55.040 --> 03:58.879 Italy, our culture is 90% is about food. 03:58.879 --> 04:02.480 So to be recognized worldwide about the 04:02.480 --> 04:06.319 passion and the love and the effort that 04:06.319 --> 04:08.640 we put in the kitchen, it means a lot. 04:08.640 --> 04:10.319 >> So that parmesan 04:10.319 --> 04:12.799 >> parano paragano 04:12.799 --> 04:16.000 >> a lot of basil. 04:16.000 --> 04:18.720 >> Oh, smells so good. 04:18.720 --> 04:22.240 So good. I love basil. 04:22.240 --> 04:24.320 >> You can never have too much cheese. 04:24.320 --> 04:26.880 That's just my opinion. Right. What do 04:26.880 --> 04:30.000 you think? I think again balance is 04:30.000 --> 04:32.560 important because you want to you don't 04:32.560 --> 04:34.479 want to overpower 04:34.479 --> 04:37.520 >> one ingredient to the other. So there's 04:37.520 --> 04:38.479 a limit on 04:38.479 --> 04:40.960 >> okay how about you know a bit of cheddar 04:40.960 --> 04:43.040 you like no way 04:43.040 --> 04:45.120 >> and you see his eyes your eyes actually 04:45.120 --> 04:47.680 rolled. No cheddar none of that 04:47.680 --> 04:50.639 >> on on a maze. I'm a purist. 04:50.639 --> 04:52.560 >> Oh my goodness. Very protective. 04:52.560 --> 04:54.320 >> No no pineapple. No chicken. 04:54.320 --> 04:56.720 >> No but not on this one or any pizza. No 04:56.720 --> 04:57.280 pineapple. 04:57.280 --> 04:58.479 >> No on the Napoleon. 04:58.479 --> 05:00.000 >> But all the others you're okay with that 05:00.000 --> 05:01.600 because to experience. 05:01.600 --> 05:02.960 >> Okay. All right. 05:02.960 --> 05:05.199 >> I remember my mom asking me every day, 05:05.199 --> 05:07.039 "Oh, what do you want to have for lunch? 05:07.039 --> 05:08.960 What do you want to have for dinner?" 05:08.960 --> 05:13.759 Constantly. Sometimes even um 05:13.759 --> 05:14.800 obsession. 05:14.800 --> 05:16.160 >> Yeah. I feel that that's what I ask my 05:16.160 --> 05:17.759 kids every day, running out of ideas. 05:17.759 --> 05:19.280 Was there a food when you were growing 05:19.280 --> 05:22.560 up, Italian food, that you felt this is 05:22.560 --> 05:24.880 Italian, this speaks to me in terms of 05:24.880 --> 05:26.400 identity? 05:26.400 --> 05:28.000 And you can't say pizza. 05:28.000 --> 05:28.800 >> Pasta. 05:28.800 --> 05:29.840 >> What kind of pasta? 05:29.840 --> 05:31.360 >> Um, 05:31.360 --> 05:35.759 say a pasta pad is a must in Napoli. Is 05:35.759 --> 05:38.800 one of our most traditional dish. And 05:38.800 --> 05:41.360 yeah, chef is 05:41.360 --> 05:43.840 >> good. And I'm guessing not from a jar. 05:43.840 --> 05:45.600 >> Not from a jar. 05:45.600 --> 05:49.160 >> I'll let you do that. 05:52.080 --> 05:54.240 >> How long does that normally take, Andre? 05:54.240 --> 05:58.400 Uh 90 seconds to 2 minutes. 05:58.400 --> 06:00.800 Um that's the way we like it. 06:00.800 --> 06:03.600 >> Let's do this. The question then I'm 06:03.600 --> 06:05.360 sure people will want to know is why do 06:05.360 --> 06:07.680 you think Andrea that Italy deserves it? 06:07.680 --> 06:09.520 Why not Spain? Why not even my home 06:09.520 --> 06:11.360 country of Portugal? We've got good food 06:11.360 --> 06:13.520 too. Why? Why? 06:13.520 --> 06:15.120 >> Respectfully, 06:15.120 --> 06:18.319 >> I I didn't say that. We I'm very 06:18.319 --> 06:21.199 respectful of other kitchen. I'm just 06:21.199 --> 06:23.520 saying that Italy really deserves it 06:23.520 --> 06:27.360 because of the intensity and the effort 06:27.360 --> 06:28.319 that 06:28.319 --> 06:30.880 >> across the whole country we put into 06:30.880 --> 06:31.520 food. 06:31.520 --> 06:34.759 >> Look at that. 06:41.840 --> 06:44.639 >> Mozanella is amazing. 06:44.639 --> 06:47.600 >> Very. 06:47.600 --> 06:50.319 Now to a storied annual tradition at one 06:50.319 --> 06:51.919 of the world's most famous magazines. 06:51.919 --> 06:54.000 Time magazine has officially unveiled 06:54.000 --> 06:56.800 their person of the year for 2025. And 06:56.800 --> 06:59.280 this year's winners, the architects of 06:59.280 --> 07:01.039 artificial intelligence. The cover 07:01.039 --> 07:03.360 features tech titans like Elon Musk and 07:03.360 --> 07:05.440 Mark Zuckerberg alongside some of the 07:05.440 --> 07:09.360 biggest names in AI like Open AI CEO Sam 07:09.360 --> 07:12.720 Alman and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The 07:12.720 --> 07:15.520 photoshopped image pays homage to a very 07:15.520 --> 07:17.680 famous photograph you may recognize. 07:17.680 --> 07:20.080 Lunch a top a skyscraper taken during 07:20.080 --> 07:22.240 the Great Depression. The photo depicts 07:22.240 --> 07:24.720 11 iron workers sitting on a steel beam 07:24.720 --> 07:27.599 850 ft above the ground during the 07:27.599 --> 07:29.599 construction of Rockefeller Center in 07:29.599 --> 07:31.599 New York City. A very different time 07:31.599 --> 07:33.599 period for the US, but a formative 07:33.599 --> 07:36.880 chapter of US history, no less. Despite 07:36.880 --> 07:39.360 the honor's singular name, this is far 07:39.360 --> 07:41.280 from the first time a group has shared 07:41.280 --> 07:43.680 the title. Times editor-inchief says the 07:43.680 --> 07:45.759 tradition, which will turn 100 next 07:45.759 --> 07:47.440 year, still ranks as one of the 07:47.440 --> 07:49.759 magazine's top annual moments. 07:49.759 --> 07:51.919 >> We argue about it internally for months. 07:51.919 --> 07:54.639 Um, and then the world stops and and it 07:54.639 --> 07:56.800 they have a a feeling. Uh, either it 07:56.800 --> 07:59.199 makes sense to them, it doesn't. Um, but 07:59.199 --> 08:00.720 I think it's a really useful way to 08:00.720 --> 08:04.440 think about the year. 08:07.759 --> 08:09.840 Today's story getting 10 out of 10 has 08:09.840 --> 08:12.160 me feline fine. In Hedinger, North 08:12.160 --> 08:14.160 Dakota, 13-year-old Khloe Campbell is 08:14.160 --> 08:16.720 helping cats find their forever home. In 08:16.720 --> 08:19.360 a town of about 1,000 people, there were 08:19.360 --> 08:21.840 nearly 90 stray cats wandering the 08:21.840 --> 08:24.080 streets. That is until Khloe's Cat 08:24.080 --> 08:26.479 Project came to the rescue. In just 7 08:26.479 --> 08:29.520 weeks, she's rescued 87 cats, taking 08:29.520 --> 08:31.440 them in, nursing them back to health, 08:31.440 --> 08:33.440 and working to find them loving new 08:33.440 --> 08:34.159 homes. 08:34.159 --> 08:36.000 >> I seen a lot of cats on the streets, and 08:36.000 --> 08:38.240 I felt really bad for them, so I wanted 08:38.240 --> 08:39.919 to take them in so they all had a nice 08:39.919 --> 08:40.479 warm home. 08:40.479 --> 08:43.120 >> She's like, "Mom, don't be mad, but she 08:43.120 --> 08:45.040 said there was three little kittens 08:45.040 --> 08:47.440 across the street." The mama was telling 08:47.440 --> 08:49.360 me I needed to rescue them. 08:49.360 --> 08:51.200 >> This project is the first step towards 08:51.200 --> 08:52.959 her dream of becoming a veterinarian and 08:52.959 --> 08:55.040 helping more animals in the future. Talk 08:55.040 --> 08:56.880 about a positive impact on the 08:56.880 --> 08:59.279 community. That is cattastic and so are 08:59.279 --> 09:01.200 you. Time for some shoutouts. Meow.
