Today’s news in 10 minutes

Note for Teachers: In an earlier version of this episode, one of our segments incorrectly said Leap Years only occur in centuries that are evenly divided by 400. However, Leap Years occur in all years divisible by four, except for century years, which must be divisible by 400 to be leap years.

Today on CNN 10, we cover the Smokehouse Creek Fire raging through the Texas Panhandle, one of the largest fires in the state’s history. Then we travel to North Korea, where a group of Russian tourists became the first foreigners to visit the “hermit kingdom” in years. And, we get to know one history-making gymnast at Fisk University, an HBCU in Tennessee that is working to make the sport more inclusive. All that and more on this episode of CNN 10.
