[Music] hello superstars it's Thursday August 29th happy Friday Eve I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 and I'm feeling a bit loquacious today so I'm going to have to keep up the pace because we've got a lot of news to get to you and only 10 minutes to do it we're going to start with some headlines today first in the Middle East Israel's military carried out raids and air strikes in the occupied West Bank killing at least nine Palestinians videos of the overnight raids showed bulldozers tearing up a street in a builtup area of the northern city of taram and a strike on what Israel officials said was a militant operations room in the refugee camp Nur Shams clashes have become more frequent in the territory since the war in Gaza began last October but this latest operation marks a sign ific escalation Israeli officials described the raids as a counterterrorism operation while the Palestinian Authority condemned the operation as quote violation and Crimes by Israel next we head to the Northeast where efforts to curb a deadly mosquito born virus have led to some objections bites from infected mosquitoes are causing a virus that leads to Eastern ecne and sephtis or Triple E for short which the CDC says kill kills about one in three people who get it and 50% of the survivors end up with lasting neurological damage cases have been identified in Massachusetts Wisconsin New Jersey Vermont and New Hampshire because the mosquitoes that spread chle e are most active at Dusk and Dawn officials in Oxford Massachusetts announced a voluntary curfew of 6 p.m. but members of the public weren't happy about closing fields for Youth Sports a change .org petition to keep the parks open has nearly 900 signatures and a town Board of Health meeting on Wednesday got contentious please don't do this to our kids 800 people find a do and finally a headline that has some big old shoes to fill paleontologists have found matching dinosaur footprints more than 260 of them in Africa and South America the footprints are similar in age shape and geological context back then 120 million years ago to be specific the seven continents hadn't split apart yet remember Pangia so scientists say the findings suggest that dinosaurs once traveled along their own version of a highway Pop Quiz Hot Shot which Landmark is also known as chalunga Mount Everest aers rock kilowa or Tim Buck 2 towering over the Himalayan Mountains you'll find what's known locally as chalunga or Mount Everest we want to introduce you to a teenager who's making mountain climbing history we travel to Nepal home to several of the world's tallest Peaks and home to Nima renji Sherpa who only has one more mountain to climb in order to conquer all 14 of the world's mountains that are over 8,000 M tall step by step this teenager is on his way to making history 18-year-old naringi sherper is setting his sides on the highest peaks in the world after reaching 13 of them he's aiming to become the youngest person to climb all 14 mountains above 8,000 M even though he comes from a community of Mountaineers this is still a big deal this is a very big uh kind of advantage for the sh community and even for me and for for everyone you know like because before this you cannot you cannot uh imagine a teenager doing a 14 P you know sherpers are an ethnic group native to The Valleys around Mount Everest and they're often guides for Mountaineers in the Himalayas they carry large loads like equipment and food fixing ladders and ropes along the way always a dangerous feat and climbing such incredible Heights also brings great risks Avalanches exposure and high altitude sickness can easily take over and can be the difference between a successful Summit and never reaching the peak but naringi sherper says his mental state is what keeps him focused and calm I kind of convinced myself you know like uh to be normal in the mountain like for example uh when I see abulance or bad weather or when I see an accident in the mountain I'm not uh in hurry or I don't get like nervous something like that only about 40 people have reached all 14 peaks of what they call the 8000ers they're all in the Himalayan and caracum ranges spanning China Pakistan Nepal and India as the youngest climber not only has sherper broken multiple records his Expeditions have taught him a lot I've learned so much uh things about nature human body human psychology meeting new people nature and like everything in the world and I learned from the mountain with his sight set on One Last Mountain shisha pangma in Tibet he's hoping to inspire others and develop mountaineering into a professional sport so whether he's on the ground or on top of the world sherper is set on breaking more barriers we're now taking a look at a nonprofit in Northern California that pairs vulnerable young people with abandoned or abused dogs Unchained Works primarily with juvenile correction facilities and teaches young people about about dog training using positive reinforcement to better prepare them for adoption take a looky who's that this see I was a troubled child I would run around cause a lot of trouble in and out incarceration most of the dogs didn't really catch my attention until I seen this boxer named Quincy when kids can contribute to giving a dog a second chance at a better life we see the shift in them yes beautiful timing the k9's teaching compassion program it's an 8-week program we have a skills curriculum yay the kids use what's called positive reinforcement training we partner with juvenile detention centers educational institutions and nonprofit organizations serving youth we don't know their stories what maybe put them in juvenile hall you've got kids who have experienced a lot of trauma in their lives and we get to go in with a blank slate they may share a very similar story with their dog that their dog has experienced neglect or abandonment or maybe abuse once they start applying the positive reinforcements with the dog and teaching the dog and the dog is responding nicely done then there's a lot of reciprocity that goes back and forth she's available 100% available for adoption we know that when dogs are well trained and and socialize they have a greater chance at adoption good job since the start of our services we have served more than 450 youth those youth have contributed to the adoption placement of more than 220 dogs I learned a lot of uh social skills I learned how not to be nervous and how to kind of control my emotions a lot down working with Quincy obviously seeing him get a second shot actually gave me a little bit of Hope thank you for bringing this boy back to [Applause] life all right for today's story getting a 10 out of 10 we head to Nebraska to check out a
