golden. Yeah, my daughters have K-pop
demon hunters fully ingrained in my
brain. Hope you had an awesome weekend,
everyone. I'm Koi Wire. This is CNN 10,
and we're going to switch things up
today. We start with a Did you know the
Nobel Prize isn't just a famous peace
prize. It's also awarded in a variety of
fields including medicine, chemistry,
physics, literature, and economics. The
prizes are named for Alfred Nobel, a
Swedish chemist and inventor who held
patents for more than 350 inventions,
including dynamite. Nobel left his
fortune to establish a namesake
foundation to recognize those who worked
quote for the greatest benefit of
mankind. Now, the foundation awards the
prizes annually to those who embody the
pinnacle of their fields. Past winners
include physicist Albert Einstein, civil
rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., and
author Ernest Hemingway, the youngest
person to win a Nobel Prize was 17 years
old, Malala Yusafsai. She won in 2014
for her fight for girls education.
Today, the Nobel Prize includes a gold
medal, diploma, and around $1 million
US. Although not all winners have
accepted their awards. In 1973,
Vietnamese revolutionary Leuk toe
declined, saying peace had not truly
been achieved,
the more you know. And we now know this
year's winners in the field of medicine.
The prestigious prize is going to not
one, not two, but three scientists who
helped forever change our understanding
of the immune system. American
scientists Mary E. Bronau and Fred
Ramdell along with Japanese scientist
Shimon Sakaguchi will share the prize
for their work on regulatory tea cells.
The cell's function as your body's
security guards, helping your immune
system fight off harmful invaders while
keeping it from attacking your own body,
a cause of many autoimmune diseases.
Sakaguchi first identified the T- cell
variant back in 1995 and Bronc and
Ramsdale helped build upon his work to
help the medical community better
understand autoimmune diseases like
lupus and multiple sclerosis. The Nobel
committee says the trio's work has not
only paved the way for possible cures
for those diseases but helped make
cancer treatments more effective and
reduce complications for organ
transplants. That is some seriously
inspiring science. Now to the Himalayan
mountains, where a blizzard left hordes
of hikers stranded near the world's
tallest peak of Mount Everest. As of
this taping, rescue operations are still
underway near the mountains eastern
face, a popular tourist destination
after nearly 1,000 visitors found
themselves trapped by the wicked weather
over the weekend. Our Will Ripley has
more. Freezing winds, chest high snow
drifts, almost zero visibility. Hundreds
of treers caught in really brutal
conditions on Mount Everest right now. A
powerful blizzard swept across the
Tibetan side of the Himalayas. Many
people were stranded outside for hours
or even days. With temperatures plunging
like that, hypothermia is a real risk.
The storm buried trails. It cut off
escape routes in a remote valley on the
eastern flank of Everest. The rescue
effort has been slow. It's been
dangerous. That part of Everest is much
harder to reach than the North Face,
which is also in Tibet, but it has a
paved road leading almost all the way to
base camp. Teams of villagers and
emergency crews have been mobilized to
dig through the deep snow and help guide
people down the mountain by hand. All
the treers are now believed to be
accounted for. Groups were being brought
to safety in stages. Many are finally on
lower ground. They're getting warm
meals. They're getting medical checks.
And they're getting a chance to recover.
The blizzard hit during China's National
Day holiday when trekking traffic peaks.
October is usually one of the safest and
most predictable months for trekking.
Cooler temperatures, clearer skies, and
far less risk of heavy storms once the
monsoon ends. But this time, snow, rain,
thunder, and lightning all arrived at
once. Thank you, Will. All right. Today
marks the second anniversary of a day
that forever changed Israel and the
Middle East. On October 7th, 2023, the
terror group Hamas launched a series of
terror attacks inside Israel, killing
around 1,200 people and taking more than
250 hostages. Israel responded,
launching the ongoing war on Hamas in
the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, which
Hamas has controlled since 2007. Many
innocent people have died. The Enclave's
health ministry says more than 67,000
Palestinians have been killed, most of
them women and children. The ongoing
humanitarian crisis in the enclave has
drawn fierce condemnation on the world
stage, including from some of Israel's
biggest allies. This week, talks are
underway for a potential ceasefire deal
that could possibly end the war and
result in the release of the 20 living
hostages thought to still be held by
Hamas. As of this taping, indirect
negotiations between Israel and Hamas
are underway in Egypt with mediators
from the US, Qatar, and Turkey. We'll
update you on any potential developments
as the week goes on. All right. Have you
heard about this potential new planet in
our own solar system? One recent study
suggests a possible planet dubbed planet
Y could be lurking in the Kyper belt
just beyond Neptune. The belt is home to
thousands of massive icy objects,
including former planet Pluto. The
authors say that while a planet has yet
to be found, there is something
impacting the orbits of surrounding
objects. Here's famed astrophysicist
Neil deGrasse Tyson breaking down this
theory.
Now we have objects moving in this belt.
And a couple of times in recent years,
people have found objects moving in ways
that maybe there's something tugging on
them influencing their trajectories.
Okay?
And if it's influencing, right? And that
way you can infer the presence of a
planet that is yet to be discovered
simply by the gravitational actions of
things in its vicinity.
Now the possibility of a new planet has
engrossed astronomers for more than a
century. But a brand new telescope, the
Vera C Rubin Observatory, could allow
them to survey the cosmos like never
before. And we may have a definitive
answer in as soon as a few years.
Pop quiz hot shot. Which iconic animal
close to extinction was saved due to
conservation efforts? Polar bear, bald
eagle, blue whale, or Tasmanian tiger?
If you said bald eagle, you are the wind
beneath my wings. In the mid 1900s, the
pesticide DDT caused bald eagle
eggshells to become thin and fragile.
But in 1972, the US banned it, and that
helped eagle populations recover.
Scientists are closer than ever to being
able to bring back extinct species. You
may remember the pair of dire wolf pups
named Romulus and Remis. Well, they just
celebrated their first birthday. The
prodigious pair of pack predators were
born as part of one company's efforts to
bring the species back from extinction
using some ancient DNA and some modern
solutions. But not everyone is in
agreement about the achievement. Our
Samantha Lindell has more. In April,
Colossal Biosciences announced it had
resurrected the dire wolf, an animal
that went extinct 12,000 years ago.
Since revealing the wolf's birth, the
company has provided regular updates
about the pups, which have been living
on a 2,000 acre site at an undisclosed
location.
It's been absolutely amazing being able
to watch Remis and Ramulus kind of grow,
developed into these giant wolves. You
know, they're a year old now, more than
120 lbs. They're just huge. They look
amazing and and super stoked that uh we
just actually saw them hunt and get
their first kill.
The biotech company calls the process of
engineering such creatures deextinction
and they hope to use the techniques on
other lost species. But critics say even
with advances in gene editing
technology, it's not possible to
resurrect an extinct animal. You can
bring back something that looks like an
animal from the past, but whether it
actually is that animal from the past, I
think is perhaps doubtful.
The new biotechnology developed by
Colossal may have potential applications
in the conservation of endangered
animals.
I think a legitimate use is the
possibility of adding genetic diversity
to species who are losing that genetic
diversity.
For the wolf's caretakers, their first
birthday is an opportunity to celebrate.
[Applause]
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.
The quest for the perfect burger. Each
month, get this. Dozens of California
dads board a charter bus for a meeting
of the Marin Burger Club. They claim to
be the most datadriven burger
association in the world. They've been
visiting restaurants across the state
for the past 12 years, trying more than
1,500 burgers. Their high-tech tasting
strategy uses a tool they've named the
Burger Majigger, which measures
everything from the size of the patty to
the sauce to toppings ratio, even the
crispiness of fries. They even have a
trademarked app to record every member's
score.
More than anything, um, we now know each
other as a community, as a bunch of dads
that are raising our children together.
And get a load of this. They've also
written a burger loving ballad. Hot buns
and fresh meat.
All right, in case you're wondering, so
far their number one burger closest to
perfection is at Buckeye Roadhouse in
Mill Valley, California. And now I'm
just hungry. Our first shout out of the
day goes to Mr. Ray and all of our
friends at St. Patrick Catholic School
in Dallas, Texas. Rise up. And Mrs.
Jackson from Ishiawa Elementary School
in Mesa, Arizona. Thank you so much for
this this 3D printed logo. This no doubt
is going on to our wall of friends. Now,
tomorrow is 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 a terrific Tuesday
everyone. Let's do it again tomorrow.
