What's up sunshine? Happy Friday eve.
I'm Koi Wire. This is CNN 10. We have
your 10 minutes of news for April 23rd.
Thanks for learning with us today.
Speaking of today, on this day in 1564,
one of the greatest dramatists of all
time was born. William Shakespeare, born
in Stratford upon Avon, England. This
man was savage with a pen. The renowned
poet, actor, and playwright penned some
of history's most famous literary
masterpieces. We're talking Hamlet,
McBth, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear,
Athell, A Midsummer Night's Dream. This
is like a literary greatest hits album.
More than 400 years later, their
popularity persists. From Broadway to
the big screen, even Taylor Swift,
Shakespeare's influence is undeniable.
The powerhouse of pros published nearly
40 plays, 154 sonnetss, and a handful of
narrative poems before he died at 52 in
the year 1616. Also on April 23rd, in
and out on the same day, while his
literary legacy is celebrated and
studied around the world, not much is
known about his personal life, like the
exact location of his home in London,
where he famously moved in the 1580s to
further his career. R. James Freder has
more on how a chance discovery is
finally shedding some light on a mystery
that's confounded researchers for years.
It's long been known that Shakespeare
owned a home in London. But where
exactly has kept academics guessing for
centuries, that is until now? It's
generally believed that somewhere
between the river and St. Paul's
Cathedral here in Black Fry is in these
narrow streets that his property used to
be. This modest blue plaque cautiously
declares that the playwright purchased
lodgings near this site. But in new
research by Lucy Monroe at London's
King's College, this plaque is actually
spoton. This is exactly where
Shakespeare lived at 5 St. Andrews Hill.
So what did his house actually look
like? Monroe says the property was
L-shaped, not massive, but relatively
substantial, and it would have sat above
the gateway to a 13th century friy that
used to stand here. 17th century black
fries would have been a lively mix of
people, gentry rubbing shoulders with an
increasing number of trace people.
According to Monroe, in her research,
there were tennis courts nearby, there
was a bowling alley, and many, many
other entertainment venues. Crucially
for Shakespeare, it was less than a
5-minute walk from the Black Fryer's
Playhouse and just across the river from
the famous Globe Theater. The original
house didn't survive the Great Fire of
London in 1666 and is one of the reasons
why the exact location has remained such
a mystery. But at long last, no plague
upon any houses as we now know exactly
where his house stood.
Turning now from sonnetss and saliloquiz
to Silicon Valley. It's the end of an
era at Apple. CEO Tim Cook is preparing
to step aside after leading the company
for more than a decade. This is a major
shift in leadership at one of the most
valuable companies in the world. Our
Claire Duffy has more on what's next.
>> That's right. After 15 years, Apple CEO
Tim Cook will be handing over the
reigns, stepping into the role of
executive chairman at the company. and
John Turnis, currently Apple senior vice
president of hardware engineering, will
take over the role of CEO. Tim Cook has
had an incredible run at Apple. He took
over from its iconic founder, Steve
Jobs, back in 2011 and had the sort of
difficult task of defining the post jobs
era at Apple. He has really overseen
building out this whole ecosystem around
Apple's products, adding the Apple
Watch, the AirPods, Apple services like
Apple TV Plus and games. He also built
out Apple's global supply chain and
oversaw its rise to become a $4 trillion
company. He also guided Apple through
some really difficult periods for the
company, including the CO 19 pandemic,
which of course disrupted production.
Also, President Trump's tariffs in both
his first and second terms. But still,
this handoff was not totally a surprise.
There have been questions that Apple has
faced over the future of its leadership,
especially amid some high-profile
stumbles over the past few years. In
particular, the Vision Pro headset. This
VR headset that Apple said was going to
be the future of computing has remained
a very niche product didn't get
widespread adoption among consumers and
Apple is also seen as behind in
artificial intelligence. Of course, many
in the tech world see as the future of
technology. So, there have been some
questions and some thinking that Apple
may need some fresh leadership and some
new tech innovation. John Turnis is a
wellrespected longtime Apple employee.
He's been at the company since 2001. And
I think this timing of this transition
will give him an opportunity to come out
and really introduce himself to Apple's
consumers at the company's annual iPhone
event in September. And so again, we
didn't exactly know this was coming
today, but not a totally surprising
timing as Apple tries to look forward
and define the next era for the company.
Back to you
>> now to something you have to see. In
southern Russia, a tiger leaping into
the crowd at a circus after a safety net
collapsed midact.
You can see that some families start
running from their seats. Others follow
announcers instructions to stay calm and
avoid panic. The Tigers trainers said in
a post on Telegram that everyone in the
audience was okay and that all the
Tigers were alive and well. They also
said there were no injuries. Russian
police launched a criminal investigation
into the incident.
Pop quiz hot shot. Which famous
quarterback was selected 199th overall
in the 2000 draft? Aaron Rogers, Tom
Brady, Payton Manning, Drew Brees.
If you said Tom Brady, you the goat. Tom
was drafted in the sixth round. Scouts
said he didn't have the physical makeup
to be great. Boy, were they wrong. They
looked right past his dedication and
mental toughness. He outworked everyone,
eventually winning seven Super Bowls,
more than any player ever. The NFL draft
starts Thursday in Pittsburgh. Dreams
will be made. No touchdowns, no hits
yet. The draft pulls in millions,
outdrawing most actual games. Why? It's
hope on display for franchises looking
to flip their futures in real time. And
for the young men who've been dreaming
of this their entire lives, your boy was
a third round pick back in the day. And
let me just tell you, not much sleep
happening this week. You think you will
be drafted, but you don't know if or
when or where. Suddenly, you're
imagining a cross country move in your
head at 2:00 a.m. The pressure is real.
Let's take a look at some of the
projected first rounders who might sleep
a little better this week. Starting with
quarterback Fernando Mendoza out of
Indiana. This guy's processes defense
like he has a supercomput between his
ears. Surgical passing led the Hooers to
their first ever national title. if his
name is not called first overall to the
Raiders. Somewhere a GM hit the wrong
button and broke the internet. Jeremiah
Love, running back from Notre Dame.
Imagine trying to tackle a 215 lb
bowling ball dipped in baby oil. He can
run, he can catch, he can block a Swiss
Army knife with cleats. His teammates
say he's the last guy to leave the
weight room, but the first to crack a
joke in it. Ultimate team player. Ruben
Bane, Miami edge rusher. Now, critics
say he has short arms. He says, "Watch
the tape because this dude brings
non-stop heat. He's a beast."
Quarterbacks, consider this your
warning. He's one of the most film
obsessed players in the class. He
studies O linemen. Like it's finals
week. Finally, Jordan Tyson, Arizona
State receiver. I've seen him play in
person. Body control like a ballerina.
He has hands like there are sticky glue
on them. He's smooth in space. Grew up
playing multiple sports, including
track, which shows up every time he hits
another gear. So, there it is. some of
the top prospects and stories that are
just getting started. Maybe one of them
will go to your team on draft night.
It's more than picks. Lives change,
dreams launch, and NFL fans everywhere
are thinking maybe this will be our
year.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.
College students with an unconventional
way to shed the stress of final exam
season. Acadia University in Canada
brings in therapy dogs, uses knitting
and yoga sessions, but if you're feeling
bold, you can slither into a snake hug.
Not your typical support animal, but
students say it's working.
>> I thought, "Hey, man, I'm going to let a
snake climb up on me and then it's going
to it's going to offset that stress from
the exam."
>> They're so cute. They're really calming,
actually. Like,
they're just adorable. Like, look at his
little face and his little tongue. So
cute.
>> Whether it calms your nerves or makes
your skin crawl, the Acadia librarian
says the goal is simple. Give your brain
a break.
>> It would take your mind off of your
exams. Even if even if you're scared of
snakes, it's taking your mind off of
something.
>> Snake, snuggle serpent, scaly
distresser. To quote William Shakespeare
to end the show, "What's in a name? That
which we call a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet." All right, we
have some shoutouts coming your way.
