Florida Prepares For Another Major Hurricane; Somber Anniversary in Israel; Pope Picks 21 New Cardinals in Move That Broadens Pool of Who Will Choose His Successor; Some Northern Arizona University Forced to Move Due to Bats.

COY WIRE, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Hello everyone, terrific Tuesday to you. Let`s rise up and make this an awesome day. I`m Coy Wire, welcome to CNN 10,

where we tell you the what, letting you decide what to think.

We`ll start today with your headlines, starting in Israel, where the country marked a somber anniversary. October 7th marked one year since the
 

somber [ˋsɑmbɚ] adj. 阴沉的；忧郁的；闷闷不乐的

deadliest terrorist attack in Israel`s history, where Hamas killed nearly 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 others. Mourners gathered at sites across
 

mourner [ˋmornɚ] n. 悲伤者；哀悼者

Israel that were targeted that day.

A memorial was held at a kibbutz where one in four residents were killed or abducted by Hamas. Israel`s response to the attacks, the war in Gaza, has
 

kibbutz [kɪˋbʊts] n. 基布兹（以色列的合作农场）

in turn killed more than 41,000 Palestinians, 11,000 of those being children. The war has also triggered a humanitarian crisis catalyzing a

widening regional conflict.

In the U.S., the Supreme Court`s new term begins this week. The nine justices are back on the bench after handing down rulings over the summer

on landmark cases like guns and presidential immunity. This term will go into June 2025 and see cases on a wide variety of topics.

The justices may also intervene in disputes around the election, like legal battles around Arizona`s proof of citizenship voting requirements and

efforts by some states to restore third-party candidates to their ballots.

And in Florida, residents are feeling a bit of deja vu around the urgency to prepare for yet another major storm. Hurricane Milton strengthened to
 

deja vu 似曾相识的感觉

Category 5 yesterday and is expected to hit Florida`s Gulf Coast.

Some residents are still cleaning up debris from Hurricane Helene and are rushing to get that done. While folks in some areas are boarding up and
 

board up 用木板封闭（门窗）

preparing to hunker down, officials are ramping up evacuation orders, closing schools, and issuing urgent warnings that the storm surge and power
 

hunker down 蹲下来休息; take shelter

ramp up 增强; 扩大，增加

outages will be particularly bad from Milton.

CNN`s Rafael Romo has more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

RAFAEL ROMO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: In addition to declaring a state of emergency in 51 counties, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ordered

management sites to remain open 24/7 so that many areas covered by debris after Hurricane Helene can be cleared before the arrival of Milton, which

became a Hurricane Sunday afternoon. More than 800 guardsmen are currently deployed for debris removal, but DeSantis said there will soon be up to

4,000 available.

We also heard from Florida Senator Rick Scott, who said that Milton has the potential of causing much greater damage than Helene, which pummeled

Florida less than two weeks ago. With Helene, Scott said, over a million households were left without power. Milton has the potential of having an

impact that will be much worse.

SEN. RICK SCOTT (R-FL): It seems like a lot of our storms have become water events. We got it all with this one. We`re going to have storm surge,

we`re going to have flooding, we`re going to have massive winds. And guess what it means? You`re going to lose power.

ROMO: We heard a similar assessment from Governor DeSantis Sunday, who also said that Florida is going to see a lot of power outages. And that is

something that people should prepare for, adding that crews are already getting staged to restore electricity as soon as possible. His emergency

management director warned people that evacuations will be necessary at a level Florida hasn`t probably seen since 2017 when Hurricane Irma hit the

peninsula.

WIRE: Ten-second trivia. What is the smallest country in the world by both population and size?

Monaco, Lesotho, Malta, or Vatican City?
 

Lesotho [lɪˋsoto] n. 赖索托（非洲一国名）

Malta [ˋmɔltə] n. 马耳他（欧洲岛国）

Your answer here is the Vatican City, often called the Holy See, which has a population of 510 inhabitants, and it`s just shy of half a square
 

Holy See 罗马教廷；教皇的职位

shy of: slightly less than some amount

kilometer in size.

Now to big news coming out of Vatican City. Pope Francis made a surprise announcement during a speech in the Middle East in the anniversary of the

October 7th attacks, where he announced he has chosen 21 new cardinals. The pope, who is the head of the Roman Catholic Church`s central government,
 

cardinal [ˋkɑrdnəl] n.（罗马天主教的）红衣主教，枢机主教

makes decisions on issues of faith and morality for over one billion Catholics around the world.
 

morality [məˋrælətɪ] n. 道德，伦理；品行

Catholic [ˋkæθəlɪk] n.（C-）天主教徒

He also chooses cardinals, senior members of the church who elect and advise the pope. As pope, Francis has made the group of cardinals who will

elect his successor more representative of the worldwide church, choosing bishops from Iran, Ukraine, Indonesia, Japan, and the Ivory Coast.
 

bishop [ˋbɪʃəp] n.（天主教及英国国教等的）主教

CNN`s Christopher Lamb has more.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHRISTOPHER LAMB, CNN VATICAN CORRESPONDENT: Pope Francis on Sunday causing a surprise in the Vatican when he announced he`ll be creating 21

new cardinals. Now, choosing cardinals is the closest thing a pope has to succession planning because it is from the cardinals that the pope is
 

succession [səkˋsɛʃən] n. 接替，继任，继承

chosen and it is the cardinals who will select the successor to Pope Francis.

The 87-year-old pontiff choosing cardinals from across the globe and significantly, the Archbishop of Tehran in Iran, a sign that the pope is
 

pontiff [ˋpɑntɪf] n. 罗马教宗；主教

Archbishop [ˋɑrtʃˋbɪʃəp] n. 大主教，主教长；枢机主教

seeking to push for dialogue and peace in the Middle East. And by choosing a cardinal from Iran, he is bolstering the work of the church in this area.
 

bolster [ˋbolstɚ] v. 支撑；加固

Before announcing the names of the cardinals, the pope commemorated the one-year anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attacks, calling for the

release of hostages and for peace across the region, including in Lebanon, and for an end to retaliatory attacks.
 

retaliatory [rɪˋtælɪətərɪ] adj. 报复的；回敬的

Now, throughout his pontificate, Francis has thrown out the old unwritten rule book for when it comes to appointing cardinals. In the past, there
 

pontificate [pɑnˋtɪfɪkɪt] n. 教宗（或主教）之职权及任期

were cardinals chosen from specific parts of the world, including in Italy, but Francis has changed all that. He chooses cardinals from the far-flung peripheries
 

far-flung [ˋfɑrˋflʌŋ] adj. 广布的；遥远的

periphery [pəˋrɪfərɪ] n. 周围

of the church.

And today, Francis chose cardinals from Indonesia, the Ivory Coast, Algeria, Francis seeking to, in a way, reward the unsung heroes of the
 

Algeria [ælˋdʒɪrɪə] n. 阿尔及利亚

church with his choices. And he has, over his pontificate, changed and reshaped the body of cardinals and men who will be choosing whoever comes

after him. So a significant decision by the pope today.

WIRE: It`s time to go local now with a new segment where we take a look at the stories that might be unique to your city or your state. We kick off in

Flagstaff, Arizona, where a cauldron of bats has taken over an entire dorm at Northern Arizona University. Who knew Arizona is home to 28 species of
 

cauldron [ˈkɔldrən] n. 大锅；大汽锅

bats, which is second only to Texas?

Our affiliate KTVK/KPHO has more on the story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MICHAEL RAIMONDI, REPORTER: NAU says the bats were first noticed in September. They`ve had crews come out, try different ways to mitigate the

bats from coming and going, but the problem has only gotten worse. And now students in this dorm building have been told they need to pack up and
 

pack up 整理行装

leave right before midterms.

(Voice-over): Bats can make some noise. They were out of sight, hiding somewhere in the roof of Mountain View Dorm, but just after sunset, a few
 

out of sight 看不见

hundred bats crawled out of the cracks to take flight.

BRENNA (ph), STUDENT: I just heard squeaking coming from the walls and stuff, and I was like, oh no!

RAIMONDI: So far, NAU says one bat captured in September tested positive for rabies. The university says no injuries, but a few students were given
 

rabies [ˋrebiz] n.【医】狂犬病

a rabies shot as a precaution.

NAU also sending students an email about the situation.

ALLISON STENGER, STUDENT: Here`s what you do if you encounter a bat with rabies. And it`s like, hmm, how about I don`t encounter the bat with

rabies, that would be fantastic.

RAIMONDI: Allison and her roommate Brenna (ph) are two of the 550 students that were told they need to move out because of the bats. They know where

they`re moving to, but aren`t moving out until tomorrow. Many parents arriving today to help their kids pack up and leave.

AZRAEL MURPHY, NAU STUDENT: We were sent out an email telling us to shake out all of our clothing, move items around in our rooms, look under every

corner, every desk, anything we can find. Pat our pillows and sheets down. So that, I think, was the email that made me want to move out.
 

pat .. down  从上往下拍打…检查（是否携带…等）

RAIMONDI: Earlier today, one of the bats was relaxing on the roof inside the lobby of the dorm. Crews have to put up chicken wire and even tried
 

chicken wire 细铁丝网围栏

foam to deter the bats from coming and going. But more drastic steps will be needed to clear those critters out.

STENGER: It`s not Halloween yet, so if we could get rid of the bats, that would probably be the best solution.

WIRE: Today`s story getting a 10 out of 10, this guy, moose be lost. The owners of this home in New Hampshire didn`t find it too amusing when this

buck ended up in their pool, stuck under the pool cover.

Police and fire departments responded to the call and removed the pool cover to help the moose get loose. It quickly walked out on its own to a

wooded area nearby where the curious cervidae will remain anony-moose.
