Hello and happy Monday everyone. Hope
you had an awesome weekend. I'm Koi
Wire. Welcome to CNN 10, the best 10
minutes in news because of you. Lots of
big headlines to get to and not a lot of
time to do it. So, let's get to it. We
start in Washington where today US
President Donald Trump is set to host
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalinski as
they look to end Russia's war in
Ukraine. And they'll have company a host
of European leaders from the UK, France,
Germany, Italy, and Finland are slated
to attend as well as the head of the
European Union. The high stakes meeting
comes just days after Trump's historic
summit with Russian President Vladimir
Putin in Alaska. Trump has told European
leaders he wants to arrange another
meeting between himself, Putin, and
Zalinski as soon as this coming Friday.
Based on today, when you talk to
Vladimir Zolinski, what's your advice to
make a deal? Russia is a very big power
and they're not. Now, it's really up to
President Zullinsky to get it done.
While a trilateral meeting could yield
major progress towards ending Russia's
war on Ukraine, it comes as President
Trump appears to be changing his stance
on the best way to accomplish that. In
the wake of his meeting with Putin,
Trump is pushing for a lasting peace
deal between Russia and Ukraine. It's a
reversal of his previous calls for an
immediate ceasefire, something both
Ukraine and its European allies support.
The shift also appears to align more
with President Putin's approach,
spurring questions about what exactly a
potential deal would entail. Our Nick
Payton Walsh will give us a closer look.
Well, after all the pomp and welcome of
Russian President Vladimir Putin in
Alaska, we are now looking again at
another highstakes meeting between
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian
President Vladimir Zalinski. Again, in
the White House and hopefully for
Ukraine, not a repeat of the horrific
blowout that we saw earlier on this
year.
He'll fly Zilinski to DC to continue the
lengthy phone call he says he just had
uh with Trump. What's emerged from that?
One European official saying to me,
"Look, Putin's demands haven't really
improved. He still, that European
official says, still wants control of
all of the Donbass region, which he's
fighting fiercely for at the moment,
that Ukraine will not withdraw from, and
that a few weeks of inconclusive
diplomacy might buy his forces the time
they need to make real progress in the
positive news for Ukraine, the growing
talk now of security guarantees for it,
if indeed a real peace deal is reached.
Now, we've heard from French President
Emanuel Macron that the US is willing to
contribute to security guarantees. I've
heard from a European official the
possibility that might be some kind of
article five arrangement. That's a term
used by the NATO alliance about
collective security. You attack one of
us, you attack all of us. No one's
suggesting NATO would be involved here,
but it would be significant for Ukraine
if European powers with American backing
told Russia, if you attack Ukraine after
this peace deal, you're attacking all of
us. That's the sweetener. We don't know
what the bitter pill though for Ukraine
necessarily to swallow is yet. But
ultimately, Putin wants time and he's
bought himself a lot of it. In weather
news, an update on Hurricane Aaron. At
the time of this taping, the storm was
still churning in the Atlantic as a
major category 3 hurricane after rapidly
intensifying to a category 5 storm
earlier in the weekend. Aaron exploded
from a category 1 with 75 mph winds on
Friday morning to a category 5 with 160
mileph winds just 24 hours later. This
puts Aaron in the history books as one
of the fastest strengthening Atlantic
hurricanes on record and maybe the
fastest ever this early in the season.
Sunday, Aaron passed just north of the
Caribbean, lashing Puerto Rico and other
islands in the region with heavy rains
from its outer bands. And while it's
expected to curveball back out to sea
and not make any direct landfall, those
of you on the East Coast could still
feel its impact. Pay close attention to
local weather reports and look out for
any storm alerts as well. The storm is
still expected to double or even triple
in size, causing potentially
life-threatening surf and rip currents
from the Bahamas all the way to Canada.
Now to a story I want you to discuss
with friends and family. Hundreds of
robot athletes are preparing to power
down after competing in the world's
first humanoid robot games in China. The
competition began Thursday in Beijing
and ends today. 280 teams from 16
countries competing in 26 different
events. soccer, track and field, and
boxing. During the opening ceremony,
humanoid robots showed off their skills
in martial arts. They played keyboards,
guitars, the drums, and even danced to
some hip-hop. Organizers say the games
are a chance to collect data that help
future development. Press pause, wrap
your head around how you feel about
these games. Many are pondering whether
this is a celebration of human
ingenuity. Others are wondering if these
are examples of robots continuing to
take over life as we know it. Pop quiz
hot shot. Which famous scientist is
credited with discovering the
relationship between electricity and
magnetism? Isaac Newton, Michael
Faraday, Albert Einstein, or Nicola
Tesla?
Answer is Michael Faraday. In 1831, he
demonstrated that a changing magnetic
field could induce an electric current
in a nearby wire. He also invented the
first electric motor. Time now for a CNN
10 student spotlight. One of the
smartest, wittiest, inspiring, and most
passionate people I've ever met. He's
just 10 years old. I caught up with
Shawn the Science Kid.
Testing, testing. One, two, three.
Amplified sound waves coming from me.
here with a special guest, a CNN 10
student spotlight, the one and only Sean
Adesco, aka the science kid. You
probably have seen him on the socials,
more than 1.4 million followers on
Instagram alone. Sean, I have to ask
you, how did you first become so
interested in science and so much so
that you want to share it with other
people?
So, ever since I was a kid, I've just
been interested in learning. It's so
beautiful because it explains everything
in the universe from the light here to
you talking right now.
I love it.
So sharing it with the world is
important because we need everyone to
know about this magical field of
education. That explains everything.
It's where it all starts. So let me ask
you this. Are there any maybe common
science myths that really bug you and
you just want people to know?
You only use 10% of your brain.
Wow,
that is wrong.
That is wrong.
You use 100% of your brain all of the
time because memory is active. It's
always working, which means it still has
to be used.
So, I have a a question for you. Really
a bad dad joke, if you will. Oh, I love
dad bad dad jokes.
Why can't you trust anything an Adam
says?
Cuz they make up everything.
He knows it. All right, listen. I know
you have an experiment. You have been
just chomping at the bit to show us
this. We're going to take center stage
here. All right. What do we have here?
And what are you going to do with it?
We have an electromagnet here. Now, if
you've ever heard of Faraday's law of
induction, you know that magnetism and
electricity are interconnected,
which means both of them create the
other. So, when you take a coil of wire,
did you say coil wire?
A coil of wire.
Coil. Got it. If you take this and
attach it to an electrical current, then
what will end up happening is a magnetic
field should be created. Try and get a
current running through and see if it
magnetic effects.
So when we connect them,
so you're running the battery through
the
wire into the nail and voila. It's not
magic, it's science. Before we go here,
one thing we always do at the end of the
show is we give shoutouts to our school.
And now that you're in a new high school
for the first time, a freshman, can we
give a shout out to your school? The
name city state and mascot.
Shout out to Hills Academy in Deal. Good
night.
High five. Thanks for keeping me warm
and informed.
Do you know a student helping their
community, school, or just doing
something that deserves a spotlight?
Email us a video. Send submissions to
CNN10 atcnn.com and we'll be
spotlighting standout students all year
long.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A
masterpiece of a program teaching youngs
how to get a hold of themselves on the
water. Kids from underserved communities
are making waves in a new program
designed to teach them how to set sail
on the Chesapeake Bay. Eight young
sailors learned the ropes and knots of
how to maneuver the boats in rutterly
any direction. How to properly dock as
well talk about peer pressure, even what
to do if the boat were to capsize.
We learned how to rig the boat, derrig
the boat, tacking and driving.
Organizers of the program say they hope
to break down the assumption that
sailing is a sport only for the wealthy
because the Chesapeake Bay is a natural
resource that belongs to everyone. Ohoy
madies, we see you. A couple of awesome
shout outs today. This one goes to our
friends at the Eaton Academy in Roswell,
Georgia. I have seen the incredible work
you're doing in your shop class and all
I can say is rise up. And this shout out
goes to Mr. Ren and friends at Monterey
County Youth Center in Selenas,
California. Thank you for spending part
of your day with us. Remember to
subscribe to our CNN 10 YouTube channel
and put those shout out requests in the
comment section of our latest video. Go
out and set the tone for an awesome
week. Remember, what you think you
become. I'm Ky Wire and we are CNN 10.
