00:11.759 --> 00:13.599
What's up sunshine? I'm Corey Wire.

00:13.599 --> 00:15.759
Welcome to CNN 10, your fast pass to the

00:15.759 --> 00:17.920
facts serve. Fresh in just 10 minutes,

00:17.920 --> 00:19.600
we give you the what, letting you decide

00:19.600 --> 00:21.600
what to think. We begin with an update

00:21.600 --> 00:24.240
on the US and Israel's war with Iran.

00:24.240 --> 00:26.000
Tensions keep escalating in the Straight

00:26.000 --> 00:29.119
of Hormuz. the key waterway aka oil

00:29.119 --> 00:31.679
superighway over which the US and Iran

00:31.679 --> 00:33.920
continue to fight for control. US

00:33.920 --> 00:35.520
President Donald Trump says the US

00:35.520 --> 00:38.239
military is now escorting cargo ships

00:38.239 --> 00:39.920
through the strait as part of an

00:39.920 --> 00:42.719
operation dubbed Project Freedom. This

00:42.719 --> 00:45.040
has drawn a sharp rebuke from Iran who

00:45.040 --> 00:47.440
also carried out strikes on cargo ships

00:47.440 --> 00:50.640
and key United Arab Emirates oil port

00:50.640 --> 00:53.360
this week. Iran has also signaled that

00:53.360 --> 00:55.600
it has ways to further complicate this

00:55.600 --> 00:57.760
war and it has threatened to attack any

00:57.760 --> 01:00.160
foreign military ships entering the

01:00.160 --> 01:02.879
waterway. And a new CNN investigation

01:02.879 --> 01:05.040
shows that Iran's nuclear capabilities

01:05.040 --> 01:07.840
may not be as defunct as previously

01:07.840 --> 01:10.240
thought. Arcaty Pole Glaze has an

01:10.240 --> 01:12.320
indepth look at how some key parts of

01:12.320 --> 01:15.040
the country's nuclear supply chain may

01:15.040 --> 01:17.200
still be intact even after a series of

01:17.200 --> 01:19.680
US and Israeli strikes.

01:19.680 --> 01:21.280
Let's start at the beginning of the

01:21.280 --> 01:23.119
supply chain. Alongside the research,

01:23.119 --> 01:25.360
the process starts at places like these

01:25.360 --> 01:27.680
Sagghand uranium mine where the raw

01:27.680 --> 01:30.560
material uranium ore is mined. In recent

01:30.560 --> 01:32.479
years, Sagghan mind has expanded

01:32.479 --> 01:34.320
significantly. You can see widening

01:34.320 --> 01:36.479
pits, growing piles of earth, and

01:36.479 --> 01:38.560
diggers. We looked at recent imagery

01:38.560 --> 01:40.560
since the latest strikes and found no

01:40.560 --> 01:42.400
evidence of damage. In fact, from

01:42.400 --> 01:44.240
between the clouds, you can still see

01:44.240 --> 01:46.799
diggers operating at the site. So far,

01:46.799 --> 01:48.799
this indicates this stage of the nuclear

01:48.799 --> 01:51.439
supply chain may remain untouched. Next,

01:51.439 --> 01:53.840
the min uranium ore is transported to

01:53.840 --> 01:55.439
production plants like this one in

01:55.439 --> 01:57.280
Ardican. Here, it's converted into

01:57.280 --> 01:58.799
Yellow Cake, which is a type of

01:58.799 --> 02:00.799
concentrated uranium. We found this

02:00.799 --> 02:02.719
plant was substantially damaged in

02:02.719 --> 02:05.439
recent strikes on March 27th. An image

02:05.439 --> 02:07.360
taken the following month shows little

02:07.360 --> 02:09.759
change, suggesting the Iranians have not

02:09.759 --> 02:12.080
rebuilt this site yet. After this, the

02:12.080 --> 02:14.160
yellow cake is taken here to sites like

02:14.160 --> 02:16.480
this one in Isvahan to be purified and

02:16.480 --> 02:18.959
converted into uranium hexa fluoride.

02:18.959 --> 02:20.959
And it's this one, this stage of the

02:20.959 --> 02:22.879
supply chain that has caused the biggest

02:22.879 --> 02:24.959
headache for the US and Israel. Back

02:24.959 --> 02:27.040
last June, French outlet Leond found

02:27.040 --> 02:29.280
this truck visible in imagery taken just

02:29.280 --> 02:31.120
days before the strikes. These blue

02:31.120 --> 02:33.200
containers are likely carrying uranium

02:33.200 --> 02:36.160
into the tunnels, experts told CNN. Days

02:36.160 --> 02:37.519
later, these facilities were

02:37.519 --> 02:39.280
substantially damaged in Israeli

02:39.280 --> 02:41.280
attacks. You can see several buildings

02:41.280 --> 02:45.120
wiped out. Then in early 2026, Iran

02:45.120 --> 02:47.200
covered over several entrances to these

02:47.200 --> 02:48.800
underground tunnels with earth

02:48.800 --> 02:50.800
preventing people from accessing them.

02:50.800 --> 02:52.640
Further measures were taken this April

02:52.640 --> 02:54.480
when these roadblocks were put up in

02:54.480 --> 02:56.480
front of the entrances to the tunnels.

02:56.480 --> 02:58.239
It could suggest there still remains

02:58.239 --> 03:00.080
something valuable down there. They were

03:00.080 --> 03:01.920
not, however, hit in the latest

03:01.920 --> 03:05.120
USIsraeli strikes. Even experts we spoke

03:05.120 --> 03:07.760
to are unsure why. David Albright is a

03:07.760 --> 03:10.319
worldleading expert on nuclear weapons.

03:10.319 --> 03:13.920
How much of a risk in the future is that

03:13.920 --> 03:15.760
stores in Isvahan Mountain?

03:15.760 --> 03:18.159
>> I think it's a big risk and that's quite

03:18.159 --> 03:20.560
a bit of money in the bank. I mean the

03:20.560 --> 03:22.159
amount of enriched uranium they've

03:22.159 --> 03:24.800
produced was equivalent to a full years

03:24.800 --> 03:27.040
of production of their entire enrichment

03:27.040 --> 03:31.280
complex and is believed to be mostly and

03:31.280 --> 03:34.640
almost all of it at Esvahan. In fact,

03:34.640 --> 03:36.720
the US believes this too, and their

03:36.720 --> 03:39.040
demand to remove this uranium has been a

03:39.040 --> 03:40.959
key issue in the stalling peace

03:40.959 --> 03:43.840
negotiations. And finding out exactly

03:43.840 --> 03:46.159
how much is down there is central to

03:46.159 --> 03:48.319
determining whether Iran remains a

03:48.319 --> 03:50.560
nuclear threat.

03:50.560 --> 03:52.400
Pop quiz hot shot. What is the painting

03:52.400 --> 03:54.560
technique featuring small distinct dots

03:54.560 --> 03:56.640
which form an image? Impressionism,

03:56.640 --> 04:01.799
spumato, tentibism, or pointalism?

04:04.560 --> 04:06.480
You're on point like decimals if you

04:06.480 --> 04:08.720
said pointalism. The technique developed

04:08.720 --> 04:12.640
by Gor Shar and Paul Signak in the 1800s

04:12.640 --> 04:15.439
used thousands of tiny dots of unmixed

04:15.439 --> 04:18.560
color to form one cohesive image. Now to

04:18.560 --> 04:20.639
the Met Gala, the annual celebration of

04:20.639 --> 04:23.120
art, culture, and fashion turned all the

04:23.120 --> 04:25.199
way up. Held every first Monday of May.

04:25.199 --> 04:26.720
It's a fundraiser for the Costume

04:26.720 --> 04:29.199
Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of

04:29.199 --> 04:31.040
Art in New York City. It attracts big

04:31.040 --> 04:33.440
donors and big-time stars from all walks

04:33.440 --> 04:36.400
of life. This year's theme, costume art.

04:36.400 --> 04:39.120
Actor Ben Platt channeling a pointless

04:39.120 --> 04:42.000
masterpiece inspired by Gor Serat's A

04:42.000 --> 04:44.000
Sunday afternoon on the island of Lrange

04:44.000 --> 04:47.360
Jate. Some stars were almost entirely in

04:47.360 --> 04:50.000
disguise. Heidi Clume frozen in time

04:50.000 --> 04:53.120
like a statue by Italian artist Raphael

04:53.120 --> 04:56.080
Monty's veiled vestal. Hunter Schaefer,

04:56.080 --> 04:58.560
Euphoria actor, wore a look inspired by

04:58.560 --> 05:01.840
Gustaf Clint's painting, Mada Primai.

05:01.840 --> 05:03.440
People on the red carpet said she looked

05:03.440 --> 05:04.880
like she walked straight out of the

05:04.880 --> 05:07.360
early 1900's painting. But you have to

05:07.360 --> 05:10.080
see this. Olympic phenom een goo,

05:10.080 --> 05:12.240
respplendant, floating in a dress made

05:12.240 --> 05:15.440
of 15,000 glass bubbles. It took more

05:15.440 --> 05:18.560
than 2500 hours to make. And yes, real

05:18.560 --> 05:20.960
bubbles included. She says, "Fashion,

05:20.960 --> 05:23.199
like sports, is about pushing limits and

05:23.199 --> 05:26.000
expressing your truest self." Now, to

05:26.000 --> 05:28.160
the floating garbage patch, roughly

05:28.160 --> 05:30.720
twice the size of Texas. A new study

05:30.720 --> 05:32.800
finds the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

05:32.800 --> 05:34.800
may be doing more harm than initially

05:34.800 --> 05:37.039
thought. Airborne microlastics appear to

05:37.039 --> 05:39.120
be absorbing sunlight, potentially

05:39.120 --> 05:41.360
adding to global heating. Why does this

05:41.360 --> 05:43.360
matter? Rising temperatures can fuel

05:43.360 --> 05:46.000
extreme weather, disrupt ecosystems,

05:46.000 --> 05:48.160
impact life on land and sea. Who better

05:48.160 --> 05:50.240
to break it down than our chief climate

05:50.240 --> 05:53.120
correspondent, Bill Weir. Hi, Bill.

05:53.120 --> 05:54.720
>> Coy. Yeah, I remember the first time I

05:54.720 --> 05:56.479
heard about the Great Pacific Garbage

05:56.479 --> 05:58.960
Patch 20 years ago. I imagined a

05:58.960 --> 06:01.120
floating dump you could walk around on.

06:01.120 --> 06:04.240
But actually, it's more like a a plastic

06:04.240 --> 06:06.479
soup, thin plastic soup where you could

06:06.479 --> 06:09.600
take a, you know, a siphon and and go

06:09.600 --> 06:11.919
through and get little pieces of plastic

06:11.919 --> 06:14.319
bottles and old fishing nets that are

06:14.319 --> 06:16.080
breaking down packaging from around the

06:16.080 --> 06:18.639
world. And it's all contained thanks to

06:18.639 --> 06:21.440
these circular currents called gys uh

06:21.440 --> 06:23.759
there. And we've always cared about the

06:23.759 --> 06:25.840
impact of this

06:25.840 --> 06:28.240
monstrosity both on the fish and the

06:28.240 --> 06:30.319
bird life, the whales and sea turtles

06:30.319 --> 06:31.680
that actually have to swim through and

06:31.680 --> 06:34.319
eat from that pollution. But this new

06:34.319 --> 06:36.400
research looks at the effects on global

06:36.400 --> 06:38.720
warming. Because as that plastic breaks

06:38.720 --> 06:41.759
down and atomizes, it gets into the air.

06:41.759 --> 06:44.160
And even a tiny little piece, a dark

06:44.160 --> 06:48.319
piece of plastic absorbs 75 times as

06:48.319 --> 06:51.199
much solar energy as a clear piece of

06:51.199 --> 06:53.360
pollution floating out there as well.

06:53.360 --> 06:55.520
And because this patch is twice the size

06:55.520 --> 06:57.440
of Texas, so three times the size of

06:57.440 --> 06:59.599
France, that's a lot of tiny particles

06:59.599 --> 07:01.360
floating in the air contributing to

07:01.360 --> 07:04.319
overall overheating. Now, it's a small

07:04.319 --> 07:06.080
percentage relative to what's happening

07:06.080 --> 07:07.759
because right now, Koi, I don't know if

07:07.759 --> 07:10.400
you know, ocean temperatures are off the

07:10.400 --> 07:12.880
charts, like records shattering highs

07:12.880 --> 07:16.080
and it's not even springtime and El Nino

07:16.080 --> 07:18.000
hasn't even kicked in yet. So, the

07:18.000 --> 07:20.160
weather created by these overheating

07:20.160 --> 07:22.560
seas is a more pressing concern. But as

07:22.560 --> 07:24.319
for the plastic, it's also worth noting

07:24.319 --> 07:26.319
last year over 100 countries came to the

07:26.319 --> 07:28.479
table ready to negotiate a global

07:28.479 --> 07:30.319
plastics treaty to get countries to

07:30.319 --> 07:32.400
reduce and reuse and recycle best they

07:32.400 --> 07:34.720
can. But it was blocked in the end by

07:34.720 --> 07:36.080
countries that produce a lot of oil,

07:36.080 --> 07:38.319
gas, and petrochemicals like the United

07:38.319 --> 07:44.360
States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Koya,

07:47.440 --> 07:49.199
today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

07:49.199 --> 07:50.960
turning graves into gardens of

07:50.960 --> 07:53.199
gratitude. In Florida, eighth grader and

07:53.199 --> 07:55.440
girl scout Cassandra Seldon saw

07:55.440 --> 07:57.039
something she could not ignore. The

07:57.039 --> 07:59.599
Miami City Cemetery, which she walks by

07:59.599 --> 08:01.520
every day on her way to school, is an

08:01.520 --> 08:03.520
historic resting place for hundreds of

08:03.520 --> 08:06.000
war veterans. But Cassandra noticed they

08:06.000 --> 08:08.960
needed some TLC. So, she stepped up and

08:08.960 --> 08:10.879
cleaned their graves as a part of her

08:10.879 --> 08:13.199
Girl Scout Silver Award. I just think

08:13.199 --> 08:15.759
that it's so wrong that these veterans,

08:15.759 --> 08:17.919
they served our country and they helped

08:17.919 --> 08:20.080
us gain our freedom. So, I think that

08:20.080 --> 08:21.520
they should be respected.

08:21.520 --> 08:23.520
>> Over a year-long mission, Cassandra

08:23.520 --> 08:25.680
rallied volunteers and veterans,

08:25.680 --> 08:28.319
cleaning more than 1,700 graves. And she

08:28.319 --> 08:30.400
didn't stop there. She built a digital

08:30.400 --> 08:32.240
library for each restored veteran's

08:32.240 --> 08:34.719
grave so families can locate their loved

08:34.719 --> 08:36.640
ones. Her project may be complete, but

08:36.640 --> 08:39.039
Cassandra's impact, the veterans,

08:39.039 --> 08:41.519
they're etched into history. That is

08:41.519 --> 08:43.440
awesome stuff. All right, congrats to

08:43.440 --> 08:45.600
our your word Wednesday winners. Mr.
