you the what, letting you decide what to
think. Teacher Time Tuesday this
September 30th. Thanks to all the
educators out there for inspiring and
informing us and for allowing me to be
part of your day. Give a teacher a high
five, heart hands, or a fist bump today.
Let them know I see you. Your 10 minutes
of news starts now. Big developments in
the push to end the war in Gaza. Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at
the White House Monday, meeting with US
President Donald Trump to discuss a
US-led peace plan proposal for the war
torn enclave. Sources say the Trump
administration's 21-point plan includes
the release of all hostages held by
Hamas, the terror group that controls
Gaza, and orchestrated the October 7th
attacks on Israel. The plan also sets up
a roadmap for Gaza once Israel's war
ends and bars forced displacement of its
Palestinian residents. The key meeting
comes as Israel has escalated its
military operations in Gaza City.
Despite growing pressure from the
international community, Netanyahu has
vowed to continue those operations until
Hamas is destroyed. Meanwhile, the
flotillaa or fleet of ships carrying
vital humanitarian aid is continuing its
trek towards Gaza despite a series of
recent drone attacks on the ships and a
warning from Israel that it will take
quote necessary measures to prevent them
from breaching its naval blockade which
has been in place since Hamas took
control of Gaza in 2007. Our Ben Widman
has more.
The ships, more than 40, are heading
east across the Mediterranean toward
Gaza.
Our mission is to break the illegal
Israeli siege and create a people's
humanitarian corridor.
This is the so-called global Sumud
flotilla. Summud is Arabic for
steadfastness. Composed of hundreds of
activists from Europe, the Middle East,
and beyond. It may look idilic, but it's
a perilous journey. The last attempt to
break the blockade in June saw Israeli
troops board a ship, the Merlin,
detaining passengers and crew.
Swedish activist Greta Tunberg was among
them and is back trying to reach Gaza
again.
We are doing this because our
governments and elected officials are
failing to step up. Um the UN commission
has now also confirmed that this is a
genocide going on in Gaza. And that
means that under international law,
states have a legal obligation to act to
stop that genocide from happening and
ending their complicity, ending arms
transfers and applying a real pressure.
The activists say Israeli drones have
already targeted the flotilla several
times. Israeli officials declined to
comment on the incidents. Italy and
Spain have sent navy ships to accompany
the flotillaa in international waters.
And the Italian government has appealed
to the activists to stop short of Gaza
to unload their cargo in Cyprus and
allow Israel or the Catholic Church to
take it in. The activists refused.
Israel claims the flotilla is a
publicity stunt that only serves Hamas.
Tunberg told us they come in peace. We
pose no threats. We are not carrying
weapons. We are carrying food, medical
supplies, baby formula, diapers,
um, sanitary products, um, for the
people of Gaza.
Pop quiz. Hot shot. What country boasts
the world's largest population of
elephants? Kenya, Tanzania, Batswana, or
South Africa?
If you said Batswana, Batswana I'm
talking about. The southern African
nation is home to about 130,000
elephants. It's believed that elephants
migrated to the relative safety of
Batswana over time following widespread
poaching in countries like Namibia and
Angola.
They say an elephant never forgets, but
it's the people of Batswana who are
celebrating an unforgettable
achievement. Track and field stars from
the African nation are returning home as
heroes after winning a pair of historic
gold medals at the 2025 World Athletics
Championships in Tokyo. Our Larry Mado
has more.
The party is still going on in
Botswana's capital, Cabaron.
A nation of just 2.6 million people now
among the giants of world athletics. It
was really amazing going around the city
and uh thank giving thanks to Batswana
who have been there for us.
Returning home from the athletics world
championships in Tokyo, Batswana's truck
and field heroes have been greeted like
royalty.
The golden performances lifted the
country into the top five of the medal
table ahead of nations many times their
size and their achievements even
prompted the president to declare a
national holiday. A national holiday
enables our people to express their
happiness to go out into the streets.
At just 21, Colin Kabin Shippy has the
world at his feet, taking the 400 m
title, then anchoring the 4x400 m team
to gold, ping the USA in the pouring
rain and with it achieving a historic
first victory for an African nation.
Nowadays people have to get used to and
know that we are competing on world
stages to get to bring medals home not
only to go there and participate.
His teammate Letiloho is already a
global star having stormed to 200 m gold
at last year's Olympic games. for us to
win that 4x4 gold model for Africa
because it's no longer about the country
meant a lot to us because we carrying so
many people's hopes
and their success is sparking something
new a generation of young Batswana who
now believe they too can shine on the
world stage
the guys in Tokyo have done it all um
they have shown us that everything is
possible um they've taken Bana to an
whole other different type of
competition
For junior Kate Sle, a youth swimmer on
the national team and countless others,
Botswana's runners have shown that no
dream is too big. No matter the size of
your country,
I think it was a pretty amazing thing
and it has motivated a whole lot of
guys. Everyone is happy. The nation is
happy and we have a holiday.
From the track to the swimming pool, a
new generation is dreaming bigger.
Inspired by the trailblazers who put
Botswana on the map.
I love you too. Bye-bye.
Earlier this month, we told you about
how rapper Bad Bunny was turbo boosting
the Puerto Rican economy with his
summer-long concert series. And now,
some good news for those of us wishing
he would book some venues on the
mainland. He is performing at the Super
Bowl. Here's the announcement.
[Music]
The three-time Grammy winner will
headline the halftime show for Super
Bowl 60. It'll take place February 8th
at the home stadium for the San
Francisco 49ers.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. An
absolutely adorable story out of LA. The
Los Angeles Zoo welcomed two baby
chimpanzees over the last couple of
weeks. First chimps born at the zoo in
11 years. Chimply amazing. Visitors are
going bananas to see them, but they can
only get glimpses of these infant
females in limited windows because
they're being kept in a private area so
they can get some mama baby bonding
time. Their moms are 35 and 26 years
old. These births are significant.
Chimpanzees are great apes belonging to
the scientific family hinity along with
gorillas, orangutans, and humans, and
they are classified as endangered by the
International Union for Conservation of
Nature. Very apighting. Also apes
exciting. We just got some really great
news and opportunity here at CNN 10
headquarters. We're going to be
interviewing the FDA Commissioner Marty
McCary and we want to use some of your
questions. The FDA or US Food and Drug
Administration is the part of our
government that protects public health,
right? It assures the safety of our
nation's food supply. For example, the
FDA just stopped allowing certain types
of food dyes to be used in some of our
snack foods. They also make sure that
packaging is childproof. Another
example, if a farm has a bacteria
outbreak, the FDA lets the public know
about it and any recalls that may take
place. They're also in charge of making
sure all of our medicines and skin
products are safe. So, we want to hear
from you. What do you want to know about
food and medicine regulation? Teachers,
what's something you think your students
need to hear about? Send your question,
school, city, and state to cnn10@cnn.com
and you may see your question being
asked to the FDA commissioner Marty
McCary. I am here to serve. I'm also
here for some shoutouts. This first one
goes to Mrs. Powers at Calhoun
Elementary in Calhoun, Georgia. Go
Yellow Jackets. Thank you for the kind
note about our show. And this one goes
to Trafalar Middle School in Cape Coral,
Florida. Rise up. You are jawsome. Wow,
those are good. Tomorrow's your word
Wednesday. Follow us at koiwire and
CNN10 on Instagram. Put your unique
vocabulary word and definition in the
comment section of our most recent post
and we're going to choose a winner to
work into tomorrow's show. Make it an
awesome day everyone. Remember, what is
within influences what happens without.
So get that mind right, sunshine. I'm
Koi Wire. We are CNN 10.
