  • Monday's air necessary doesn't have quite the same ring as Friday's awesome.

  • But we hope you're weeks off to a good start, and we thank you for spending 10 minutes of your Monday with CNN 10 of Coral, Azusa at CNN Center.

  • First story takes us to North Korea.

  • There's a lot that happens here that's unknown to the outside world.

  • North Korea is a secretive country that threatens people who expose those secrets, and it doesn't allow independent media organizations to exist.

  • The government controls the radio and TV stations that are allowed, and it's illegal for North Koreans.

  • Toe listen to broadcasts made from other countries.

  • So in a nutshell, if the dictatorship doesn't want certain information getting out, it makes it difficult and dangerous for North Koreans.

  • Toe.

  • Find it out.

  • And as far as foreign journalists are concerned, North Korea limits who's allowed in where they're allowed to go and what they're allowed to cover.

  • That's why international observers are confused by something noticed recently at some high rise buildings in North Korea's capital.

  • The views, which once overlooked the rooftops of government buildings, are now blocked, obstructed or blurred by new coverings, according to the New York Times North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun has built up a number of high rise apartments and the people allowed to live.

  • There are elite members of society, but the top floors of these apartments or where these coverings have appeared.

  • NK news dot org's and the daily NK to websites outside North Korea that focus on news inside the country say the coverings blocked the views of North Korea's Forbidden city to tourists and citizens and also prevent pictures of government buildings from being taken and sent outside North Korea.

  • Chad O'Carroll, correspondent for the South Korea based news website NK News, was recently checking a lead on a construction project in the North Korean capital when his sources noticed something strange near an important section of Pyongyang.

  • O'Carroll sources saw many upper floor windows in some luxurious high rise apartment buildings mysteriously covered and at great risk.

  • They started to take pictures.

  • Thes window bars are made of concrete there, immovable on.

  • They are basically either fully opaque or they are kind of slap slaps that just allow you to look in one way look at Oh Carol's comparison for NK news of a tower block in the Chang Chun apartment complex about a year ago.

  • And now, Oh, Carol says, his sources observed, what they believe are hundreds of apartments and hotel rooms with windows covered and in some cases, on Lee on upper floors.

  • Windows at the Koryo Hotel, a famous destination for tourists, were replaced with translucent covers so guests can't make out detail of anything outside on.

  • The overarching goal of all of these is as faras we understand to prevent people being able to look into what's known as North Korea's Forbidden City.

  • The Forbidden City, analysts say, is a nickname for a section of Pyongyang where important government buildings air located the headquarters of the Korean Worker's Party and other offices where Kim and the elites from his inner circle conduct business.

  • The position and height of many of these now blocked Windows, analysts say, seems to be fuelling the regime's paranoia.

  • If you were on assassin, you'd probably love to be someplace higher up if you want to try and eavesdrop.

  • If you wanted to observe who was coming in and who's got you wanted to try and establish somebody schedule.

  • These are all the apartments that would give you a great view of who is in which office.

  • But by closing off these windows in what's known as Pyung Hatton, Kim's regime is also likely taking away the views of some people who are very powerful top North Korean officials who have been given those exclusive apartments.

  • Those elites who analysts say the dictator bribes with luxury goods and cash to keep him in power.

  • When you get to the stage that you're blocking the view off your you're apparently trusted elite families in North Korea, I think it it's something that is potentially going to breeds some discontent.

  • Others say those who've been elevated to power by the supreme leader likely understand this is something they may just have to swallow.

  • This is a regime that maintains its authority through open execution, with mortar rounds and anti aircraft can.

  • Compared to that, having your you know, nice window barricaded is not exactly, you know something worth dying.

  • Maur DeLay and more questions in the process of Brexit, the British exit from the European Union, Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on October 31st.

  • An agreement between the country and the E U on exactly how to do that would make things smoother and more organized.

  • The government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson did recently make a deal with the U, but Britain's parliament has to approve it first.

  • And in a vote held Saturday when lawmakers were expected tow either approve or reject the deal, they delayed making a decision on it, and they passed a law requiring the prime minister to ask you for another delay in the Brexit process.

  • The European Union could accept or reject that request.

  • Britain's parliament could still pass the prime minister's deal with the EU.

  • So bottom line, it's still uncertain what will happen next when it comes to the Brexit who conducted the first spacewalk, which took place in 1965.

  • You're in guaran Alan Shepard, Alexey Leona or Ed White.

  • Well, Ed White was the first American to do it.

  • The first ever spacewalk was made by Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov.

  • His spacewalk attempt was kept secret until it happened.

  • Leonov later told the Smithsonian that when his four year old daughter saw him making the spacewalk on TV, she cried.

  • Please tell Daddy to get back inside.

  • He and his crew mate faced a series of life threatening challenges afterward before they made it home.

  • So it's risky.

  • And on Friday, Americans Kristina Cooke and Jessica Mere also stepped out for a walk about 248 miles above the Earth's surface.

  • And they also made history in the process.

  • NASA astronauts Kristina Cooke and Jessica Mere nailing the first all female spacewalk, the women working outside the International space station, replacing a broken battery charger.

  • NASA streamed the event live the two astronauts seen emerging from the hatch of the space station to start their mundane sounding work making history in the process, identified by their bulky spacesuits.

  • Cook in the red Stripes mere plain white helmet cam, giving their P O V on what you're hearing them communicating with each other.

  • Watch mere passed by cooks, dangling feet right beneath your feet down and communicating with NASA H Q.

  • Back on Theo Answer, 400 kilometers up from a spot just south of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

  • The first all female spacewalk was supposed to take place back in March, cancelled due to issues getting a couple of spacesuits the right size, says NASA.

  • This was Cook's sixth spacewalk.

  • Miers first, although they have trained together for the past six years.

  • 42 year old Mere holds a doctorate in marine biology.

  • 40 year old Cook is an electrical engineer.

  • She's being up there on the International space station since March and will be until February, breaking the record for the longest single space flight by a woman.

  • Really, it's something we've been training for for six years and preparing for the same time.

  • We recognize that it is a historic achievement, and we do.

  • Of course, I want to give credit to all those that came before.

  • Nick Walsh, CNN Atlanta There's a new resident at the Paris Zoological Park.

  • See if you can guess what it is.

  • It can grow as fast as one and 1/2 inches per hour.

  • It has no mouth, but it likes to eat bark and oatmeal.

  • It has no brain, but scientists say it can communicate in solve problems.

  • And it's not an animal, A mushroom or a plan give up.

  • It's a blob, a slime mould.

  • We don't expect it to be the most exciting organism at the zoo because, after all, it's not really a fun guy, and watching it tends to get mold after a while, but when it's excited, it can blob a lot.

  • When it's sad, we bet it blah bors, and we hear it likes movies like The Blob, The Green Slime and Ghostbusters.

  • Though it always roots for Slimer.

  • I'm Carla Zeus for CNN 10.

  • And it's just too bad we're all out of slime to the O.

Monday's air necessary doesn't have quite the same ring as Friday's awesome.
