🌎 Global Updates: Haiti Emergency and California Land Shift
The video script begins with a lively introduction by the host, Koy, who sets the stage for a news roundup. The first major news item is the state of emergency declared in Haiti due to the escalating control of violent gangs in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and their attempts to spread to other regions. The U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, is visiting Haiti to support the government's efforts to curb the violence. The U.S., being the largest funder of a UN-backed security mission, has pledged over $300 million to help restore order in the country. The second news item discusses a state of emergency in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, where land shifting is causing severe damage to homes and infrastructure. The land movement, a long-standing issue, has recently accelerated, prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency and authorities to cut off utilities in affected areas.
🛐 Pope Francis' Historic Southeast Asia and Pacific Tour
The script then shifts focus to Pope Francis, the 87-year-old leader of the Catholic Church, who is embarking on his longest foreign trip since becoming Pope in 2013. The Pope is visiting four countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, with a primary focus on interfaith dialogue. A key event during the trip is the Interfaith dialogue at the Istiqlal Mosque in Indonesia, the world's largest mosque, which is symbolic of the Pope's vision for Catholic-Muslim relations. The trip aims to promote coexistence and friendship amidst growing global conflicts and religious extremism. Despite concerns about his health and age, Pope Francis is determined to carry out this significant journey, demonstrating his commitment to fostering dialogue and supporting Catholic communities in the region.
🏙️ The Eiffel Tower's Olympic Legacy Debate
The script continues with a discussion about the potential permanent installation of the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Paris Olympics have ended, but the mayor of Paris is advocating for the rings to remain as a symbol of the city's transformation and the spirit of celebration. However, this proposal is not without controversy. The public is divided, with some seeing the rings as a fresh addition to the city's iconic skyline, while others argue that the Eiffel Tower, a historical monument, should not be altered. The descendants of Gustave Eiffel, the tower's designer, are particularly opposed, viewing the tower as a historical symbol rather than an advertising platform. The city of Paris, which owns the Eiffel Tower, is considering replacing the current 30-ton rings with a lighter version if the decision is made to keep them in place.
📚 A Book's Long Overdue Return and a School Shout Out
The final segment of the script covers a heartwarming story about a book, 'Leaves of Grass' by Walt Whitman, that was returned to a Virginia library 50 years overdue. The book was found by a woman while cleaning her sister's house and was returned without incurring any late fees, as the library no longer charges them. This light-hearted story serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the enduring nature of literature. The script concludes with a shout out to Sims Middle School in South Carolina, encouraging students to have a great weekend, meet new people, and spread positivity.

I'm Koy wire AKA Koy boy or your boy
koyi as some of you been calling me on
social love it this is CNN 10 your new
show where I tell you the what letting
you decide what to think we're going to
start with your headlines we begin in
Haiti where the entire country is now
under a state of emergency violent gangs
have taken control of much of the
capital city of Porto Prince and they're
trying to spread to other regions the
expanded state of emergency comes as US
Secretary of State Anthony blinkin
travels to the embattled nation he's
there to lend support to the Haitian
government as it tries to get the
violence under control the US is the
biggest funer of a unbacked security
Mission trying to fight The Gangs
America has pledged more than $300
million to help Haiti in its efforts to
restore order next we head to the
California town with a different kind of
state of emergency land shifting it's
happening in the Pacific Ocean City of
Rancho Palos veres the land in the area
is moving so severely that it's tearing
homes apart and disrupting power lines
officials say the land there has been
shifting slowly for decades but the
problem has suddenly gotten worse and
quickly CNN's Stephanie Elum has more
this is the edge of a landslide here in
Rancho palace verdex look at what is
done to this house which is collapsing
down into the Earth here you can see
that it's sinking down below where it
should be you can see by the railing to
the stairs to the house and also you can
see what is done to the road Beyond it
even the house beyond that you can see
that it looks like it's shifting in the
middle of the building now the land here
in Rancho Palace veres is Coveted
because of the Pacific ocean views uh
along the coast here but it also the
land's been shifting here for a long
time but just never at this accelerated
clip local officials say they say it's
moving in some places by about 10 in a
week so much so that the governor has
declared a state of emergency and
they've cut off the power and the gas
lines to certain neighborhoods because
of the Earth moving just so
fast next up Pope Francis is the
87-year-old head of the Catholic church
but he's delivering a message of
dialogue between all religious faiths as
he travels across southeast Asia and the
Pacific the pope is the leader of the
Roman Catholic Church which has more
than 1 billion followers worldwide he's
also the head of state of Vatican City
which is actually its own country within
the city of Rome in Italy he became the
Catholic Church's 266th Pope in 2013 and
as Christopher lamb reports he's now
embarking on the longest trip since his
inauguration Pope Francis is embarking
on the longest foreign trip of his
pontificate he's going to four countries
across southeast Asia and the Pacific
covering almost 33,000 km it's the
longest trip that any Pope has embarked
upon Francis will be going to Indonesia
papan Guinea East teamour and Singapore
now top of the agenda of this trip is
Interfaith dialogue France is will be in
Indonesia which is a country which has
the world's largest Muslim population
he'll be taking part in an Interfaith
dialogue event at the iscl mosque the
largest mosque in Southeast Asia it's a
mosque that is connected via a tunnel to
the Catholic Cathedral across the road
it is an embodiment of the vision that
Francis has for Catholic Muslim
relations the importance of coexistence
and friendship and he will be hoping
that this message of dialogue between
faiths can resonate across the world at
a time of growing conflicts and Rising
religious extremism now Francis will
also have the opportunity to support the
Catholic communities in these Southeast
Asian and Pacific countries countries
that are increasingly playing an
important role in global Catholicism now
the pope of course is 87 years old he
uses a wheelchair he's had some health
difficulties some are asking whether he
will be able to carry out this trip at
all nevertheless Francis has shown he is
determined to Embark upon this trip the
longest of his pontificate and he's
showing people those critics who perhaps
are doubting whether he has still got
the energy left to be Pope that he still
has plenty of gas left in the
tank Pop Quiz Hot Shot which European
capital city is home to a famous
structure originally constructed for the
1889 World's Fair London Munich Paris or
Rome if you said Paris say o la la we
wee the Eiffel Tower is one of the most
famous landmarks in the world standing
some 300 M or 984 ft towards the
Parisian Sky up next Ooh La La we we
head to France the Paris Olympics may be
over but the symbol of those games may
be sticking around the mayor of Paris
says she wants the Olympic rings that
were installed on the eiel tower to stay
there originally they were supposed to
come down after the ongoing par par
Olympics has the closing Ceremony this
month but the mayor says she wants the
spirit of the celebration to remain and
the the Rings are a symbol of
transformation of the city residents are
divided on the plan to keep the Rings
the descendants of Gustaf eiel the
engineer who designed the famous tower
they're against the
idea this was the iconic symbol of the
Olympics this summer but why is it
causing so much controversy I think it's
an isore it's something different but
the Eiffel Tower has been there for
years and years and I don't think it
needs to change these Olympic rings
could soon be a permanent fixture I
think it's okay for now but not not
forever because it's a historical
monument you know so for me the towel is
amazing you know it's so beautiful but
with the ring look a little bit
different so I think it's not very
aesthetic know the City of Paris owns
the Eiffel Tower and officials say the
decision is up to them this event was a
massive success probably all around the
world and it will changing Paris forever
in a good way visually when you will be
in Paris remember that this moment was a
key in the history of Paris so that's
why we choose that symbol for
descendants of its creator gustavel they
don't want his legacy to become an
advertising platform so G is my great
great great grandfather we were very
happy to have the Rings during the
Olympic Games it it was a great moment
but the premise were permanent the um V
is never meant to be a billboard uh for
any other company or brand no matter how
prestigious it may be now if the Rings
do stay fun fact it won't be the same
set we see on the tower now they weigh
30 tons so they need to be replaced with
a more lightweight
[Applause]

of 10 is long overdue a Virginia library
