“What's up everyone? I'm Koi Wire. This is CNN 10 and it is your word Wednesday. 0:1515 secondsToday you helped us write this show. So listen up for your words as we travel from a history-making boat to history making football to robots that are now 0:2424 secondsrunning faster than humans. Let's get you your news for August 26th. And on this day in history, 1920, American 0:3232 secondswomen officially gained the constitutional right to vote. The 19th Amendment was formally certified 106 years ago today. The amendment prohibits 0:4141 secondsthe federal government or any state from denying a citizen the right to vote based on sex. It capped more than 70 years of activism by the women's 0:4949 secondssuffrage movement, led by figures like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Katie Stanton. An estimated 26 million women 0:5656 secondsbecame eligible to vote in that 1920 US election. But the amendment didn't make voting equal overnight. Pole taxes, 1:041 minute, 4 secondsdiscriminatory local laws, and other barriers continued preventing many women of color from exercising that right for 1:111 minute, 11 secondsdecades. Now to Iran, where ceasefire negotiations have gone arry and amid the fallout from war, women are once again 1:191 minute, 19 secondsfacing increased scrutiny over something deeply personal, what they wear. Social media video delineates women being 1:261 minute, 26 secondsshamed on the streets even more so if they don't have the mandated hijab. A headscarf associated with the religious tradition of covering the hair, ears, 1:341 minute, 34 secondsand neck. Our Joanna Karacha has more on why the crackdown is intensifying now. 1:441 minute, 44 secondsThis woman is being publicly shamed by another woman for showing her bare legs in Iran. 1:531 minute, 53 secondsEventually, officers arrive and make her put on pants. This scene is being played out in cities across the country. The 2:002 minutesfocus seems to be turning back to how women are allowed to dress. At the height of the war, women without headscarfs were even seen at 2:082 minutes, 8 secondsprogovernment gatherings. The regime seemed to have bigger priorities, but now hardliners are pushing the hijab back on the agenda. Cafes, restaurants, 2:162 minutes, 16 secondsand shops are being shut down for failing to enforce mandatory dress codes. Hardline clerics are demanding tougher enforcement. This cleric 2:252 minutes, 25 secondsspeaking directly to President Massud Peskan. 2:342 minutes, 34 secondsBut there's a problem for the regime. 2:362 minutes, 36 secondsIranian women are not backing down. Four years ago, the death of Masa Amini in custody after being detained by the 2:432 minutes, 43 secondsso-called morality police ignited the woman life freedom protest. The uprising was brutally suppressed, but widespread 2:512 minutes, 51 secondsacts of defiance survived. Today, women walk through Iranian cities without headscarfs and ride motorcycles through 2:582 minutes, 58 secondsTehran, Shiraz, and Esvahan. As the war with the US seems to stall, an old confrontation is bubbling up. 3:073 minutes, 7 secondsTick tick tick 10 second trivia. Which of these traits is unique to the big cats that make up the genus pantherra? 3:133 minutes, 13 secondsRetractable claws, roaring, night vision, or patterned coats? 3:213 minutes, 21 secondsIf you said roaring, you were born to be heard. Like lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars. The only cats that can roar. 3:283 minutes, 28 secondsAnd get this, the same bone that allows them to roar also prevents them from purring. And I'm not lying. to Argentina now where dozens of lions and tigers 3:363 minutes, 36 secondshave just been rescued from an abandoned zoo which had become a dangerous tourist attraction. The animals were removed from their overcrowded enclosures and 3:443 minutes, 44 secondsare now being transferred to animal sanctuaries around the globe. Our Isabelle Rosales has more. 3:513 minutes, 51 secondsA chance at a new life. That's what these big cats now have after being moved to new sanctuaries across the world. At first we try also not to make 4:004 minutesradical change but the quality of life will change. They will have hundreds of square meters. They will have a proper food, a proper medical care. They were 4:094 minutes, 9 secondsforgotten for many years and I think now it will be a new life for them. 4:134 minutes, 13 secondsThe lions and tigers were rescued from a former zoo near Buenocidis shut down by Argentine officials in 2020 over safety 4:214 minutes, 21 secondsconcerns. The zoo was known for letting visitors handle the animals. In 2025, global animal welfare organization 4:294 minutes, 29 secondsForpaws took on responsibility for the animals. Veterinarians brought in to treat the big cats said they found many injuries like deformed paws from 4:384 minutes, 38 secondsdeclawing, kidney disease, and open wounds. 4:414 minutes, 41 secondsSo, we found um various um um injuries on the skin, on the tail, on the ears. 4:504 minutes, 50 secondsSo we have some broken canines which is very common in big cats and when they are do this barbiting. 4:574 minutes, 57 secondsNow fourpaws sent 30 of them to sanctuaries in the US and South Africa to start their new lives. 5:045 minutes, 4 secondsWhen we started with a complete medical examination of all these animals here in Lhan Zoo. Based on this examination, we 5:125 minutes, 12 secondsevaluated that uh there are several animals that need urgent attention and uh they they need to be moved to 5:195 minutes, 19 secondssanctuaries and places where this is possible to be uh uh um insured. 5:255 minutes, 25 secondsThis week 15 of these tigers and lions were taken to Lions Rock big cat sanctuary in South Africa which is owned 5:325 minutes, 32 secondsby four paws while the other 15 were transferred to the wild animal sanctuary in Colorado. I feel well when I reach to 5:405 minutes, 40 secondsmy destination with the animal and when I see them I feel how it is valuable to save a life whether they're in Colorado or South 5:485 minutes, 48 secondsAfrica. Forpaw says these big cats will get to experience life as close to their natural habitat as possible tailored to 5:555 minutes, 55 secondstheir specific needs and that family groups and lifelong companions will remain together in their new sanctuary 6:026 minutes, 2 secondshomes. But most importantly, they'll finally be able to get the care they need. 6:086 minutes, 8 secondsNow to an NFL moment that's bigger than football. History has been made. Shiaz Pete has become the first member of the Navajo Nation to play in the NFL. The 6:176 minutes, 17 seconds6'9 Dallas Cowboys rookie offensive lineman took the field against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale. Shiaz was shocked to see thousands of Navajo 6:256 minutes, 25 secondsNation members in the stands. When he entered the game in the fourth quarter helping Dallas score a touchdown, the crowd erupted. His teammates stood to the side to let him have his moment. 6:356 minutes, 35 secondsWhen asked what he saw, he said, "Hope and courage." Afterwards, he was celebrated in the locker room by his teammates and his coach. 6:426 minutes, 42 secondsBut I saw something I've never seen before. 25 years in the NFL. An entire section cheering for one man. 6:526 minutes, 52 secondsThis game fate brought us here as strangers. But this game, this star, this team will make us brothers. 7:017 minutes, 1 second[cheering] 7:037 minutes, 3 secondsChinese robots are now beating the apex of human athletic achievements at this year's World Humanoid Robot Games. It's the second year China has hosted the 7:127 minutes, 12 secondscompetition as it aggressively invests in the robotics industry. But there is far more at stake here than seeing which droid will cross the finish line. Our Mike Valerio reports. 7:237 minutes, 23 secondsSome astonishing and not so astonishing feats in one of the Olympic stadiums here in Beijing. A humanoid robot named 7:307 minutes, 30 secondsLightning ran the 100 meter race faster than Usain Bolt's world record. But you know these competitors, they don't need protein drinks. They need batteries. 7:387 minutes, 38 secondsHere at the World Humanoid Robot Games, Robo athletes are being tested like never before. More than 2,000 robots 7:467 minutes, 46 secondsfrom 16 countries are registered for this year's games. 7:507 minutes, 50 secondsAnd we have kickboxing, football, table tennis, and some of these events are getting much harder. 7:587 minutes, 58 secondsThe 400 meter race, for example, is now totally autonomous. It's reading, "These robots need to see the track, navigate it, and cross the finish line without 8:078 minutes, 7 secondsanybody guiding them by remote control." And this is actually part of the point. 8:118 minutes, 11 secondsWhen a robot falls, gets confused, or manages to recover on its own, engineers get a real world test of technology they ultimately want working outside the 8:188 minutes, 18 secondsarena. China's made embodied AI, which is essentially AI in a physical body, a national priority. And the government has backed research, training centers, 8:268 minutes, 26 secondsand real world testing. As so many Chinese universities and companies have raced to build better robot bodies and even smarter robot brains. So the real 8:358 minutes, 35 secondscompetition here isn't just robot versus robot. It's how quickly China can move these machines from spectacle to something a little bit more useful. And 8:438 minutes, 43 secondsjudging by what we're seeing here, there are both some amazing achievements and a little bit more training to do. 8:558 minutes, 55 secondsToday's story getting a 10 out of 10. A real life example of teamwork that makes the dream work. In Japan, about a thousand people chosen by lottery were 9:039 minutes, 3 secondsrecruited to help move this 400 ton castle back to its original place. Their method, grit, muscle, and a bit of 9:119 minutes, 11 secondstugofwar. The Hiroaki Castle was originally moved in 2015 so workers could repair the stone wall beneath it, 9:199 minutes, 19 secondswhich supported the structure. This month's big move traveled a grand total of one meter, around three feet. But those biceps and triceps will be getting 9:279 minutes, 27 secondsquite a few more reps. While the repairs are done, it's expected to take the rest of the year to move this whimsical heavyweight back to its original 9:359 minutes, 35 secondsfootprint. That's a monumental move, literally. All right, we have an extra special your word Wednesday today because our friends at the Stratton 9:439 minutes, 43 secondsSchool in Maine sent us this vocabulary adventure book. First up, delineate. Did you hear that word in the show? A verb 9:519 minutes, 51 secondsthat means to precisely describe, portray, or outline something in detail. 9:559 minutes, 55 secondsI see you, Jasper. Kind of like that purple jacket. We also worked in arai, an adjective or adverb that means not 10:0310 minutes, 3 secondsgoing according to plan. Emma, great word. Absolutely love it. Finally, autumn gave us one of my favorite words, 10:1110 minutes, 11 secondswhimsical, which means playful, imaginative, or fanciful in an unusual way. You all made us smarter today by delineating each of these words. May 10:1910 minutes, 19 secondsyour imaginations be full of whimsy and your plans never go ary. Stay curious, my friends. I'm Koi Wire and we are CNN 10.”
