hello everyone happy Monday I'm KY wire

welcome to CNN 10 bringing you some of

the top stories of the day in 10 minutes

I hope you had an outstanding weekend

we've got lots to get to so let's get

started first in the Middle East where

CNN got a rare and limited look at a

disputed strip of land that links Gaza

and Egypt the pH Philadelphia Corridor

Israeli Defense Forces currently control

the 14 km strip of land in southern Gaza

along the border with Egypt and it's

been a major sticking point in ceasefire

talks negotiators have been working to

reach a deal to end the 11th monthlong

Israel Hamas War which started following

the October 7th attacks in Israel by

Hamas last year officials say

negotiations are about 90% complete but

who ends up controlling what areas and

the exchange of Palestinian prisoners of

Israeli hostages are disputes that are

holding up an agreement and it's not

clear when in-person negotiations will

resume between both parties aid for Gaza

would be a big part of that deal once it

is reached hundreds of Aid trucks a day

would be allowed into The Enclave

including fuel equipment to clear rubble

and supplies for displaced gin who would

all be part of the first phase of the

agreement CNN's chief Global Affairs

correspondent Matthew chance was on the

ground there while CNN reported from

Gaza under Israeli Defense Forces escort

at all times CNN retained full editorial

control over this

report well we're being taken by the

Israeli military into the Gaza Strip and

they've loaded us all as you can see

into this uh metal sided truck we're

going into the South bit of the Gaza

Strip which the Israeli military say

they have Under full operational control

but it's not entirely secure they've

brought us to this place called the

Philadelphia Corridor it's emerged as a

sticking point in the negotiations to

get a ceasefire and to get the hostages

released as you can see it's right up

against the Egyptian border and it's

important because the Israelis say this

is an area which has been used over the

years as a way of smuggling weapons into

the Gaza strip some of the smuggling has

taken place Overland through presumably

holes in the fence and through other

border crossings but a lot of it has

been taking place right under our

feet okay well this is one of those

tunnels it's right on the border with

Egypt you can see it is absolutely huge

wide enough to drive a car right right

the way through it the Israeli military

say that this tunnel because it's so

close to the Egyptian Frontier here has

been used by Hamas and other militants

to store weapons in and to fire Rockets

from you can see here the the back of

the wall it's completely collapsed down

apparently it was closed for some time

now we're driving now through the

neighborhood of Tel suan every one of

the buildings here has been totally

destroyed you this was obviously a

residential area with many people living

in it and the Israeli military say those

people have moved for the most part to

Safe zones humanitarian areas not far

from here but but look what they've Left

Behind look what's happened to Gaza

thank

you rear Admiral Daniel hagari is the

chief spokesperson for the Israeli

military how can you justify causing so

much you know damage Devastation

destruction in in in pursuit of your

objectives the only reason is because

Hamas has built his military

capabilities in that way that there is

no other possibility there is there is a

town underneath Rafa if you don't

demolish it then Hamas will go back and

have a stronghold the military

stronghold he is using the population

embedding in the population he's

creating this destruction and also the

deaths of the

population well this has been a very

tightly controlled bit of access into

Gaza with the the Israeli military

there's such a lot we haven't been able

to see but it's incredible they've

showed us what they have it's definitely

a a narrow view but it is also the only

view right now that we can get

firsthand Matthew chance CNN in the

southern Gaza

Strip 10c trivia what important metal is

the state of Arizona known for producing

gold silver copper or aluminum

and copper is your answer here Arizona

has been the nation's leading producer

of copper since the early

1900s sometimes it's the little things

that can make the biggest difference and

today's CNN hero is changing lives by

helping provide basic needs for her

community her experience as a foster

parent and adoptive mother inspired her

to fill in the gaps and provide

resources for Native American Youth and

their families while also keeping them

connected to their cultural and

historical

Roots I've always wanted to be a mom my

husband he's wanted to be a dad I put it

in prayer and God said I'm going to

bless you a different

way we became licensed foster parents

over 11 years

ago when I tell people I was abundantly

blessed within 6 months I became a mom

to four children that were all under the

age age of 2 years

old when the case manager said you have

48 hours and we need this car seat back

and I'm like what so that's where I kind

of knew where the Gap was and we needed

to make a change and needed to figure

out resources let people go through

it so what's the deal here so today you

can just come and get whatever you want

I started out just providing basic

resources clothes and shoes and diapers

I would tell my family like don't throw

away your stuff there's people that need

it let's wash it and clean it this is my

mad chaos is what I call it this is our

space to put all of our goodies usually

we get a request for like clothing or

diapers and if we have the stuff we'll

give it to you there's such a huge

need Arizona has over 10,000 children in

foster care reports show that about 10%

of that population is Native American

those numbers don't reflect the massive

amount that we have there's thousands of

native children that are in care and

could be connected to

culture and I thought we really should

be doing

more when I was like four years old and

I got moved out of my house most of my

connections that I might have had to my

past were kind of severed when I I was

adopted to my mom's house she made the

extra step to make sure that I was

connected back to my

roots it's a surreal experience it's

just like that feeling like deja vu at

like a poow there's a lot of kids that

are kind of in my similar situation I

don't know if they're like Foster

adopted but I know they're struggling to

find themselves it helps them that

inspires me to find out as much as I can

about who I am as a person what I can do

for my community

[Music]

[Applause]
