Wildfire Struggles In South Korea

 

hello sunshine happy Friday fry yay i'm

Coythis is CNN 10 it's time to rise up

and finish this week strong first though

I posed a question yesterday asking if

any of you have ever met an Elvis or an

Oprah because as famous as those celebs

are you just don't see many other people

with those names and Mrs sinclair up in

Hazen North Dakota shout out to you for

submitting Elvis Stoko the famous

Canadian figure skater well done all

right now let's get your 10 minutes of

news where I simply tell you the what

letting you decide what to think

 

westart in Gaza where thousands of

Palestinians took to the streets this

week to protest Hamas the militant group

which controls the enclave the rare

demonstrations appear to be the largest

protest against the militant group since

its attacks on Israel on October 7th of

2023 they took place just 2 days after

Gaza's health ministry says the death

toll from the conflict there reached

50,000 lives Gaza is home to 2.1 million

Palestinians and has been under Hamas's

control since 2007 the group insists

that Israel is an occupying power and

that it is trying to liberate the

Palestinian territories over the years

Hamas has claimed many attacks on Israel¹

and has been designated as a terrorist

organization by the United States the

European Union and of course Israel

northern Gaza has been hard hit by

military offensives launched by Israel

in response to Hamas's October 7th

attacks 17 months of war and a failed

ceasefire have reduced much of the

enclave to rubble making it difficult

for aid agencies to reach the battered

north.Gazins are frustrated by the

devastation they are enduring including

renewed Israeli attacks on the strip

that have killed hundreds of people and

Israel's halting of all humanitarian aid

to the enclave protesters told CNN they

blamed both Israel and Hamas for the

hardships they face our Samantha Lindell

shows us what the protests were like

 

video verified by CNN shows large crowds

marching through the streets in northern

Gaza chanting "For God's sake Hamas out

Hamas terrorists and we want an end to

the war." It's the largest anti-Hamas

demonstration in Gaza since the start of

the war between Israel and Hamas in

October

2023 the protests come just 2 days after

the war's death toll surpassed 50,000 in²

Gaza according to the territory's health

ministry

gazins in this enclave are also facing

severe shortages of resources according

to the UN no food water medicines or

fuel have entered Gaza in the first 3

weeks of March since Israel halted all

aid deliveries which the country claims

Hamas often steals the militant group

denies those allegations

 

authorities in South Korea are fighting

to contain what they call one of the

country's worst ever wildfires since the

weekend dozens of fires fueled by dry

air and strong winds have quickly spread

in the southern part of the country the

fires have taken the lives of dozens of

people including a pilot whose

helicopter crashed while trying to

contain the fires and thousands of

people have been forced to evacuate in

one county a Buddhist landmark that

stood for more than a thousand years was

destroyed by the flames our Mike Valerio

in Seoul has

more.a piece of history burned to the

ground this was the scene at South

Korea's Gona Temple a place of worship

for 1,300 years destroyed by wildfires

flames surrounded the Buddhist temple

complex as wildfires spread across the

south of the country over the past week

what now remains are mounds of ash and

rubble

 

our Buddhist followers are very

proud of our temple because this is such

an old temple it is so regrettable and

heartbreaking that it has been burned

down some of the artifacts like this

stone Buddha which has been designated a

treasure by the state were spared as

they were moved to other temples ahead

of the

fires the blazes first broke out last

weekend several people have been injured

and killed so far including civil

servants dispatched to fight the fires

according to the Interior Safety

Ministry and for those who have escaped

unharmed there are still losses to

bear things that remind me of my youth

disappeared without a trace photos of my

children when they were young that

sometimes I look at to reminisce about

the past are all gone and for my

children there's no place to share

memories with them i lost my memory of

youth

 

south Korea's acting president

Hanukku called these wildfires South

Korea's worst ever he said that they are

being fueled by gale force winds and he

 

gale [gel] n. 强风；时速32至63英里的强风

 

added that all available resources

nationwide are being

deployed authorities are continuing to

work around the clock to contain the

fires before more of South Korea's

history is gone

forever

 

pop quiz hot shot

 

what mammal

belongs to the genus sciurusfrom the

Greek words for shadow and tail

 

beaver

squirrel

fox or

redpanda

 

if you said squirrel you are

correct all tree squirrels are part of

the genus sciurus within the family sciuridae

 

today's story getting a 10 out of

10 is Salto the jumping robot squirrel

if you've felt like robot dogs were

getting too much of the spotlight lately

check out Salto this hopping jumping

leaping robo critter as agile as the

squirrels wreaking havoc in your

backyard our Luis Mclofflin shows us how

the squirrel inspired robot could

actually have important scientific uses

in the future

a robot that can parkour like a squirrel

they're the you know most agile animals

from nature biologists and engineers at

University of California Berkeley worked

together to make a robot that can do

just that meet the hopping and now

balancing robot SALTO.i actually have it

here with me justin Yim now a professor

at University of Illinois Urbana

Champagne worked on the one-legged

jumping robot during his time as a

student at UC Berkeley yim worked

alongside professors like Robert Full

and other students to translate

squirrels leaping and landing patterns

to salto

 

we realized that we had this

great synergy in exploring both jumping

robots and jumping squirrels and decided

to work on this project together the

results a robot that can stick a landing

on a narrow rod just like the furry

rodent Justin was able to do something

that you know no other robot could do

jump from branch to branch like it the

next leap for Solto to get around in

complicated environments where humans

have difficulty or where it's dangerous

for humans to go or eventually explore

far away places like Enceladus

if a robot can jump 4feethigh

here it could jump like an entire

football field on Enceladus and that

means that it might be really good at

covering lots of very challenging

terrain quickly yim is now embarking on

a NASA funded project to see if a robot

like Salto can one day land on that icy

moon this all thanks to squirrels and a

one-legged robot

 

all right we've made it

giddy up: used to command a horse to go ahead or go at a faster pace

 

music not air shine bright this weekend

you never never know when or how or

where but you just might be the light
