WEBVTT 00:22.800 --> 00:25.519 What's up, sunshine? From iron ladies to 00:25.519 --> 00:27.680 global conflicts, electric revolutions 00:27.680 --> 00:29.840 to skate park transformations. May the 00:29.840 --> 00:31.840 fourth be with you and let's get this 00:31.840 --> 00:33.920 show on the road with a little on this 00:33.920 --> 00:37.360 day. In 1979, history got a new headline 00:37.360 --> 00:39.360 and a whole lot tougher. Margaret 00:39.360 --> 00:41.440 Thatcher became the first female prime 00:41.440 --> 00:43.360 minister of the United Kingdom, earning 00:43.360 --> 00:45.520 the nickname the iron lady for her 00:45.520 --> 00:47.680 personal and political toughness. She 00:47.680 --> 00:49.280 didn't just break barriers, she 00:49.280 --> 00:52.160 bulldozed them, becoming the first PM of 00:52.160 --> 00:54.399 the 20th century to win three straight 00:54.399 --> 00:56.800 terms. During her first term, Thatcher 00:56.800 --> 00:59.120 led Britain through the Faulland's war 00:59.120 --> 01:02.399 in 1982, a conflict with Argentina, a 01:02.399 --> 01:04.320 territorial dispute over the Faulland 01:04.320 --> 01:06.400 Islands. She also built a powerful 01:06.400 --> 01:08.640 partnership with US President Ronald 01:08.640 --> 01:11.119 Reagan, two leaders aligned in ideology 01:11.119 --> 01:13.520 and influence during a tense cold war 01:13.520 --> 01:15.920 era. But leadership at her level is 01:15.920 --> 01:18.159 never without political controversy. 01:18.159 --> 01:20.240 Thatcher cut government subsidies to 01:20.240 --> 01:22.080 businesses, which helped reshape the 01:22.080 --> 01:24.240 economy, but also led to rising 01:24.240 --> 01:26.479 unemployment. She also introduced a 01:26.479 --> 01:28.640 controversial pole tax, a move so 01:28.640 --> 01:31.280 divisive that it led to rioting in the 01:31.280 --> 01:33.759 streets and her eventual ouster as prime 01:33.759 --> 01:36.079 minister. By 1990, after more than a 01:36.079 --> 01:37.920 decade in power, Thatcher was forced to 01:37.920 --> 01:40.159 resign following a leadership struggle 01:40.159 --> 01:42.079 within her own party. Thatcher passed 01:42.079 --> 01:44.960 away in 2013 at the age of 87. But the 01:44.960 --> 01:47.360 iron lady's legacy lives on. She paved 01:47.360 --> 01:49.920 the way for Terresa May and Liz Truss, 01:49.920 --> 01:52.799 who also became PMS, reaching Britain's 01:52.799 --> 01:55.439 highest political office. An update now 01:55.439 --> 01:57.520 about Russia's war with Ukraine, where 01:57.520 --> 01:59.280 the battlefield isn't just about 01:59.280 --> 02:00.960 territory, but also long-term 02:00.960 --> 02:03.680 consequences. Russian officials say a 02:03.680 --> 02:05.840 Ukrainian drone attack last week sparked 02:05.840 --> 02:08.560 a major fire at an oil refinery in a 02:08.560 --> 02:11.280 Black Sea port city. Ukraine confirming 02:11.280 --> 02:13.280 the strike, the third in less than two 02:13.280 --> 02:15.360 weeks. Russia's president condemning the 02:15.360 --> 02:17.760 attack even as Russian forces continue 02:17.760 --> 02:20.000 targeting Ukraine's energy systems. Our 02:20.000 --> 02:21.520 Clare Sebastian has more on the 02:21.520 --> 02:23.760 devastating environmental effects 02:23.760 --> 02:26.239 unfolding in the aftermath. This is the 02:26.239 --> 02:28.400 aftermath of a strike Ukraine says it 02:28.400 --> 02:30.480 carried out Tuesday on a Russian oil 02:30.480 --> 02:33.280 refinery to say on Russia's Black Sea 02:33.280 --> 02:35.840 coast already the scene of an unfolding 02:35.840 --> 02:38.080 environmental disaster after two 02:38.080 --> 02:40.640 previous attacks on the same refinery 02:40.640 --> 02:44.080 over the past 2 weeks. CNN has verified 02:44.080 --> 02:45.920 this footage showing oil has already 02:45.920 --> 02:48.640 leaked into the Towaps River and the 02:48.640 --> 02:50.720 Black Sea. 02:50.720 --> 02:52.640 This satellite image from Sunday shows 02:52.640 --> 02:54.720 traces of oil reaching at least 50 02:54.720 --> 02:56.640 kilometers from the shore, according to 02:56.640 --> 02:59.280 CNN's analysis. Here you see the black 02:59.280 --> 03:01.760 residue on the beach. And heavy rain 03:01.760 --> 03:03.840 last week turned toxic, residents 03:03.840 --> 03:06.640 reported, blanketing cars and streets in 03:06.640 --> 03:09.360 oily grime. 03:09.360 --> 03:11.519 >> This is oil, says this girl, showing off 03:11.519 --> 03:14.560 her dirty hands. It's everywhere. Local 03:14.560 --> 03:16.400 officials say the cleanup is happening 03:16.400 --> 03:18.560 around the clock, but volunteers are 03:18.560 --> 03:20.640 also mobilizing. Several reporting a 03:20.640 --> 03:23.040 lack of coordination and a slow response 03:23.040 --> 03:25.920 by authorities. President Putin has now 03:25.920 --> 03:27.599 dispatched the head of the emergencies 03:27.599 --> 03:29.280 ministry to coordinate the fire 03:29.280 --> 03:32.159 response. No mention by the Kremlin of 03:32.159 --> 03:34.239 the environmental consequences or 03:34.239 --> 03:37.120 potential risks to health. In the race 03:37.120 --> 03:39.120 for the future of driving, one country 03:39.120 --> 03:41.200 says it can leave the US in its rear 03:41.200 --> 03:43.519 view mirror. China's BYD, the world's 03:43.519 --> 03:45.840 largest electric car company, says it's 03:45.840 --> 03:48.319 pushing ahead. Even with US tariffs and 03:48.319 --> 03:50.000 restrictions keeping its vehicles 03:50.000 --> 03:52.640 largely off American roads. But here's 03:52.640 --> 03:54.560 the twist. From battery tech to 03:54.560 --> 03:56.799 affordability, some experts say there 03:56.799 --> 03:58.640 might be lessons worth watching from 03:58.640 --> 04:00.799 overseas. Here's our Simone McCarthy 04:00.799 --> 04:03.680 from the Beijing Auto Show. The Chinese 04:03.680 --> 04:05.680 car manufacturer seems to have cracked 04:05.680 --> 04:07.519 the code on producing affordable 04:07.519 --> 04:10.080 batteries for electric vehicles and now 04:10.080 --> 04:13.439 sells more EVs than any other company. 04:13.439 --> 04:15.040 But thanks to Washington's heavy 04:15.040 --> 04:17.680 restrictions on Chinese automakers, US 04:17.680 --> 04:20.000 consumers won't be able to buy a BYD 04:20.000 --> 04:23.520 anytime soon. Without the US market, BYD 04:23.520 --> 04:25.759 is still will be the leading position. 04:25.759 --> 04:26.960 >> You're confident? 04:26.960 --> 04:29.280 >> Very confidence. A quick look at the 04:29.280 --> 04:31.680 numbers tells you why BYD feels so 04:31.680 --> 04:34.720 secure. It bested Tesla in global EV 04:34.720 --> 04:37.520 sales last year. Even without access to 04:37.520 --> 04:40.479 the world's largest economy, the US 04:40.479 --> 04:42.160 government has effectively barred 04:42.160 --> 04:44.160 Chinese EV makers from importing their 04:44.160 --> 04:46.240 cars into the country, eyeing their 04:46.240 --> 04:48.000 expansion as a threat to domestic 04:48.000 --> 04:51.040 production and national security. BYD 04:51.040 --> 04:53.120 needs its overseas growth to offset 04:53.120 --> 04:55.919 fierce competition in its home market. 04:55.919 --> 04:58.960 BYD, right? They were flying up until 04:58.960 --> 05:02.400 2024 and then 25 so far this year, 05:02.400 --> 05:04.080 they've had a lot of pressure. 05:04.080 --> 05:06.400 >> The company reported its first annual 05:06.400 --> 05:09.919 profit drop in 4 years in 2025 amid a 05:09.919 --> 05:12.880 brutal price war and its net profit more 05:12.880 --> 05:14.639 than have yearon-year in the first 05:14.639 --> 05:17.120 quarter of 2026. 05:17.120 --> 05:20.160 Its answer to driving forward tech, 05:20.160 --> 05:23.199 including super fast charging. Batteries 05:23.199 --> 05:26.880 that can charge from 20% to 97% in 12 05:26.880 --> 05:30.400 minutes, even in cold temperatures. 05:30.400 --> 05:33.280 BYD is also racing car makers globally 05:33.280 --> 05:35.360 to develop more advanced assisted 05:35.360 --> 05:37.680 driving systems and investing in 05:37.680 --> 05:40.800 hardware and software to roll that out. 05:40.800 --> 05:43.360 >> This will make us more powerful in the 05:43.360 --> 05:48.080 future when the AI more mature. 05:48.080 --> 05:50.479 10 second trivia. What early virtual 05:50.479 --> 05:53.039 reality technology included smells and 05:53.039 --> 05:56.240 wind effects? Oculus Rift, Sensorama, 05:56.240 --> 06:01.320 PlayStation VR, or smell vision? 06:01.680 --> 06:03.680 Sensorama. Ding ding. Built in the 06:03.680 --> 06:06.400 1950s, the Sensorama was a large arcade 06:06.400 --> 06:09.520 style machine you sat inside. Cool, but 06:09.520 --> 06:11.600 a far cry away from the CGI and 06:11.600 --> 06:14.000 immersive technology used in movies, 06:14.000 --> 06:16.960 video games, and even the news. Welcome 06:16.960 --> 06:18.880 to CNN World Headquarters here in 06:18.880 --> 06:21.280 Atlanta, Georgia. This is Studio G, 06:21.280 --> 06:23.759 where I host CNN World Sport. We've got 06:23.759 --> 06:26.080 you covered. I'm Koi Wire. This is World 06:26.080 --> 06:28.240 Sport. 30 minutes of moments that make 06:28.240 --> 06:30.479 jaws drop and hearts race. Pretty 06:30.479 --> 06:32.160 snazzy, right? Well, if you haven't 06:32.160 --> 06:35.360 noticed, there's a secret. I'm actually 06:35.360 --> 06:38.000 standing in a TV studio that's green. 06:38.000 --> 06:40.000 Everything around me, the walls, the 06:40.000 --> 06:42.720 lights, the motion, even the screens are 06:42.720 --> 06:44.479 created by a powerful computer system 06:44.479 --> 06:47.440 running something called Unreal Engine. 06:47.440 --> 06:49.600 The same kind of technology used to make 06:49.600 --> 06:52.720 video games. Listen, before I ever step 06:52.720 --> 06:55.680 on set, a team designs a digital sports 06:55.680 --> 06:58.000 world. Kind of like creating a level of 06:58.000 --> 07:01.039 a video game. They design backgrounds, 07:01.039 --> 07:04.240 lighting, video screens, and animations. 07:04.240 --> 07:06.800 All of that lives inside the computer. 07:06.800 --> 07:08.880 The cameras filming me don't just record 07:08.880 --> 07:11.599 video. They also send information to the 07:11.599 --> 07:14.319 computer where the camera is, how it 07:14.319 --> 07:16.880 moves, when it zooms or pans. So when 07:16.880 --> 07:18.880 the camera moves, the virtual background 07:18.880 --> 07:21.280 moves with it, making it feel real. 07:21.280 --> 07:23.199 That's why it looks like I'm actually 07:23.199 --> 07:25.520 inside the scene. And behind the scenes, 07:25.520 --> 07:27.520 operators use real buttons, not 07:27.520 --> 07:30.240 keyboards, to control everything. One 07:30.240 --> 07:32.479 button might change the background, 07:32.479 --> 07:35.199 switch the lighting, bring up a graphic, 07:35.199 --> 07:37.520 or move us to an entirely new location 07:37.520 --> 07:40.720 in this enormous room. It all happens 07:40.720 --> 07:42.960 live while I'm talking to you. My job, 07:42.960 --> 07:45.039 focus on the story. The computer is 07:45.039 --> 07:46.960 updating the scene. The cameras and 07:46.960 --> 07:49.599 graphics are staying perfectly in sync. 07:49.599 --> 07:51.919 If everything works out right, you don't 07:51.919 --> 07:54.240 even notice the technology, just the 07:54.240 --> 07:57.599 story. So, my job is fairly easy 07:57.599 --> 07:59.280 compared to the rest of my team. The 07:59.280 --> 08:01.680 main thing is I have to remember never 08:01.680 --> 08:03.599 wear green. 08:03.599 --> 08:06.080 Anything green will display whatever the 08:06.080 --> 08:07.840 computer is putting out. So if I'm 08:07.840 --> 08:10.319 wearing a green suit or a shirt or 08:10.319 --> 08:13.680 bodysuit, this is what we get. Pretty 08:13.680 --> 08:16.400 cool. Oh man. 08:16.400 --> 08:20.720 Woo. I'm the head of my class. So when 08:20.720 --> 08:22.560 I'm long and gone someday and some of 08:22.560 --> 08:24.879 you come to take my job, remember, never 08:24.879 --> 08:27.039 wear green. Speaking of long and gone, 08:27.039 --> 08:30.000 see you. 08:34.560 --> 08:36.399 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10 is 08:36.399 --> 08:39.039 flipping expectations literally. A group 08:39.039 --> 08:41.120 of skaters in Bristol, England is 08:41.120 --> 08:43.039 wheelie taking advantage of unused 08:43.039 --> 08:45.200 spaces, transforming them into something 08:45.200 --> 08:47.839 totally rad. Campus skateboarding is an 08:47.839 --> 08:50.000 organization carving out community 08:50.000 --> 08:52.399 spaces through skateboard culture. They 08:52.399 --> 08:54.399 have three venues, including a former 08:54.399 --> 08:56.320 swimming pool and now this abandoned 08:56.320 --> 08:58.640 mall that is scheduled to be demolished. 08:58.640 --> 09:00.640 The skate park's founders say this 09:00.640 --> 09:03.279 temporary space lets them connect and 09:03.279 --> 09:04.160 get creative. 09:04.160 --> 09:05.519 >> When else are you going to get a chance 09:05.519 --> 09:08.640 to a skateboard in an old department 09:08.640 --> 09:11.120 store, but then b actually skate what 09:11.120 --> 09:12.720 was an escalator. I mean, I don't think 09:12.720 --> 09:14.480 that exists anywhere in the world. 09:14.480 --> 09:16.480 >> Aside from kick flipping, you can play 09:16.480 --> 09:19.040 pool and table tennis. Basically, it's a 09:19.040 --> 09:21.360 place you'll never uh get bored of. All 09:21.360 --> 09:23.760 right, young Jedi. Shout out to Miss 09:23.760 --> 09:25.200 Green at Cherokee High School in 09:25.200 --> 09:27.680 Cherokee, Alabama. We got some very kind 09:27.680 --> 09:29.600 emails from your students about all you 09:29.600 --> 09:31.600 do for them. Keep uplifting and 09:31.600 --> 09:34.399 inspiring. And this shout out goes to 09:34.399 --> 09:37.760 Mrs. Lancaster, Ramos, Gerrier, Warner, 09:37.760 --> 09:39.839 Peekom, and Danahue, and all of our 09:39.839 --> 09:41.680 patriots at Portsmith Middle School in 09:41.680 --> 09:43.839 Portsouth, Rhode Island. Rise up, 09:43.839 --> 09:45.440 sunshine. And just like that, our 09:45.440 --> 09:47.680 broadcast jumps to hyperdrive. Remember, 09:47.680 --> 09:49.600 you don't need the force uh to make an 09:49.600 --> 09:51.839 impact. Just some curiosity, courage, 09:51.839 --> 09:53.760 kindness, and a willingness to learn. Go 09:53.760 --> 09:56.000 out and make today a 10 out of 10. I'm 09:56.000 --> 09:57.920 Koi Wire, and may the fourth be with 09:57.920 --> 10:00.880 you.
