What's up, sunshine? Hope you're having
right to it. We begin in Paris, where a
high-profile heist has rocked the
world's most visited museum, the Louvre.
French officials say a crew of thieves
broke into the museum's Apollo Gallery
on Sunday, making out with priceless
pieces of jewelry. Authorities say the
highly coordinated robbery lasted just 7
minutes. And the thieves used everything
from a handheld saw to blow torches,
even motorcycles to escape. And they did
it all in broad daylight. They struck
just after the museum opened to the
public. Our Melissa Bell is at the Lou
for us with a report. Hello, Melissa.
The manhood continues for the four
robbers believed to have been involved
by French authorities in what's been
described by the French press as the
heist of the century. It was on Sunday
morning at about 9:30 that they made
their way up to that top floor window
using a mechanical ladder mounted on a
truck. They used very rudimentary
equipment, things like an axle grinder,
a blowtorrch to make their way in
through that broken window, you can see
into what is the Apollo Gallery that
houses some of France's crown jewels. As
they left the entire operation lost in
just seven minutes, they dropped uh the
crown of Princess Eugenie, the wife of
Napoleon III, making off with eight
other pieces of jewelry on motorcycles
down this key of the Sen River. Now,
those pieces of jewelry of inestimable
cultural value. We're talking about the
brooches, the tiaras, the necklaces, the
earrings worn by some of France's queens
in the 19th century. For now, we've been
hearing from some French authorities.
one French senator in particular who was
asking whether uh it was even possible
that these robbers were still in France.
It is entirely possible she suggests
that they fled. It is entirely possible
as well that these jewels will
ultimately be melted down to be sold uh
separately. The gold on one hand, the
precious gems on the other. This the
worst case scenario for French
authorities who just want to get their
hands back on these cultural national
treasures.
Hindus around the world are celebrating
Dvali. The festival of light began
yesterday. But the world is a bit more
conscious of the environment nowadays.
And there's one Dvali tradition that's
undergoing some changes. CNN's Paulo
Sandival has more.
>> Dvali, the festival of lights is an
iconic Indian holiday celebrated by the
lighting of lamps, big family dinners,
and in some places setting off
firecrackers, or crackers as they're
called in India.
vendors in New Delhi. They are stocked
up with all types of illuminations to
mark the occasion which symbolizes the
triumph of light over darkness. But some
residents are worried that India's
persistent pollution will once again put
a damper on the festivities.
I think we should not burn crackers but
rather spend a healthy and wealthy
Dvali. The less the pollution, the
better it is for us. The air quality
index in the country's capital has been
hovering at levels considered poor or
very poor ahead of the holiday. And each
year the smog gets worse around this
time because of crop burning and colder
temperatures which trap pollutants in
the air. There are bans on traditional
firecrackers in New Delhi to try to
reduce pollution levels. But recently
the Indian top court permitted the use
of so-called green crackers for a
limited time during Dvali. Some
residents say it brings some of the joy
back to the festival. It's a good order.
Every year children celebrate Dvali with
a lot of restrictions. This year they
can just celebrate and that's why
children are very happy.
>> Manufacturers say the green crackers
emit 20 to 30% less pollutants. But
that's still a concern for
environmentalists who say the crackers
may be cleaner and quieter but they
still give off some harmful emissions.
Delhi already has a pollution baseline
uh you know of being one of the worst
polluted cities of the world and each
year we see in in in on the eve of
Diwali or the night of Diwali the air
quality index reaches almost 20 to 30
times worse than the permissible limits.
>> Delhi's environment minister says
preparations are underway to conduct
cloud seating after the holiday to clean
up the air. The lights of Dvali are once
again shining, but not without casting a
spotlight on one of India's lingering
health and environmental problems.
10 second trivia. What is the purpose of
the ceremonial stomp performed by sumo
wrestlers before a match? Scare
opponents, drive away evil spirits, test
balance, or impress judges.
It's spooky season, so if you said drive
away evil spirits, you are correct.
Chico. The dramatic foot stomping
exercise is a spiritual cleansing. But
with top division sumos averaging around
400 pounds, it's also an impressive
display of strength.
For the first time in more than 30
years, the legendary Grand Sumo
Tournament stepped outside of Japan
straight into the hearts of Londoners.
The event returned to London for the
first time since 1991, marking just the
second time ever that it's been held
outside of Japan in the sport's 1500year
history. Japan's top wrestlers drew
crowds as they took in some of the
city's most famous sites and posed for
photos with new fans that quickly went
viral. The soldout tournament
transformed London's Royal Albert Hall
into a temple of sumo complete with
authentic soil and a sand doyo or ring,
even a Shinto shrine roof. Grand
Champion Hos Ryu ultimately claimed
victory with a perfect five bout record.
From one of Japan's most sacred
traditions to a Tokyo born football
player who learned to kick on YouTube.
This reminds me of the phrase you have
to see it to be it. The University of
Hawaii's K Matsuzawa taught himself how
to kick by watching videos on YouTube.
Now the 26-year-old nicknamed the Tokyo
Toe just might be the best kicker in the
country. He's a perfect 20 for 20 on
field goals this season. Hasn't missed
an extra point and last weekend he broke
the school record for most consecutive
field goals made. Our Patrick Snell got
a chance to kick it with K to hear more
about his amazing journey. It started
with a kick and K Matsuzawa's life has
never been the same since. Cance nailed
a 38-yard as time expired to give the
University of Hawaii a dramatic season
opening victory over Stanford. Rich
reward for a young athlete who didn't
even know how to kick or indeed speak
English until he started watching
YouTube videos. In the beginning when I
was in Japan, uh I had no cultures. So I
feel like I have to do it myself. So I
use YouTube first. Uh, I was looking for
NFL player on YouTube like trying to
like imitate like the best of the best.
So, T Hogs kicker Jason Myers, that was
my uh model when I started kicking. I've
never met him before, but he actually
like texted me on Instagram after game
winning field goal and that was actually
amazing.
>> Can was a standout soccer player as a
teenager, but he failed an exam and
didn't go to college in Japan. his
passion, joy, and energy all gone. But
everything changed after his parents
offered their son a chance to visit the
US. A Raiders Rams NFL game that he
attended, fueling his fire to one day
return to America and pursue his dreams.
It's no wonder that winning kick against
Stanford was so special for both player
and coach alike.
>> I really wanted to win that game.
Visualization is really important. So,
uh, I was ready for game time field goal
and gamewinning field goal. So, I think
all the work off the field is showing up
on the field right now.
>> I was like crying like a like a baby.
But I was just I just told him, man,
your parents are here to see this. Like
that was the coolest part for me was
seeing somebody who works so hard, so
hard, and overcome so many battles and
so much adversity to to get that moment.
And there's nobody
there's nobody that deserves it more
than this kid um because of the journey.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
sweet surprise for an Iowa elementary
school custodian. Mick Good has been
working in education in one form or
another for 68 years. First as a teacher
and coach, now as one of two custodians

Iowa. He's known to show up between 4
and 5:00 a.m. every day to vacuum
classrooms, to clean up trash. Mr. Good
is also beloved by the 300 students at
the school. They love him so much they
threw him a big surprise party to
celebrate his 86th birthday and they
planted his favorite tree, a Redmond
American Lyndon in his honor.
>> He would give you give you the shirt off
his back if he could. He is just a very
giving individual.
>> Congratulations.
>> Thank you. The final surprise, they got
his favorite team, the New York Yankees,
to send him a card. Mr. Good is well
aware that he could retire, but he
doesn't seem to want to. He says he just
enjoys being around the school, the
students, and the staff too much. Shout
out to you, Mr. Good. And happy
birthday. Now, it's time for shout outs
