  • a new week has begun.

  • So is a new edition of CNN 10.

  • You are why we're here.

  • So thank you for watching of Coral.

  • A Zeus first story in our lineup today is the death of the leader of an infamous terrorist group.

  • Since 2014 news organizations around the world have done a lot of reporting on Isis.

  • It's an acronym for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and that's what it wanted to create a new country, a theocracy in the Middle East, based on Isis, is strict interpretation of Islam.

  • Isis was a violent group known for murdering scores of people who didn't share its beliefs.

  • And while it existed years before 2014 that was the year it took control of large parts of Iraq and Syria.

  • 2014 was also when Isis is leader.

  • Ah Boubacar all Baghdadi declared himself to be the leader over all the world's 1.5 billion Muslims, though that claim was rejected by many Muslims worldwide.

  • Between then and now, Isis lost its territory in Iraq and Syria as the international effort to fight it ramped up.

  • The United States led a coalition, a group of countries in targeting Isis fighters.

  • And in March of this year, Isis had fallen with the defeat of its last stronghold in Syria.

  • That doesn't mean everyone who fought for the terrorist group is dead.

  • In April, Islamic state released a video that it said contained a new message from All Big Daddy.

  • That was the first time he'd been seen in more than five years.

  • But on Sunday morning, U.

  • S President Donald Trump said all Bugatti had been killed.

  • A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death has violently been eliminated.

  • He will never again harm another innocent man, woman or child.

  • The president says.

  • A U.

  • S Special Forces mission targeted the Isis leader after keeping close track of him for weeks.

  • The raid was carried out in northwest Syria.

  • US says several Isis fighters and companions of all Baghdadi were killed with him in the mission, though no American troops died.

  • President Trump says all Baghdad he killed himself after becoming trapped at the end of a tunnel, and the American leader thanks several other countries and Kurdish fighters in Syria for their help with the mission, while U.

  • S.

  • Defense Secretary Mark Esper called al Baghdadi's death a devastating blow to ISIS.

  • America and other nations said they'd stay on guard against the next terrorist leaders who appear second trivia.

  • Who is the current U.

  • S Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, Kathleen Sebelius, Wilbur Ross or Steven Mnuchin?

  • Role is currently filled by Steven Mnuchin, the nation's 77th secretary of the Treasury.

  • One roll of Secretary Mnuchin department is to manage America's public debt, the amount of money the U.

  • S government owes to other governments, groups, investors or businesses.

  • Right now, that number stands at $22.9 trillion.

  • The thing that makes that number grow is the deficit when the government spends more money than it takes in.

  • And America has been doing that for centuries.

  • The only time in history it didn't have a national debt was in 18 35 under President Andrew Jackson.

  • On Friday, though, the gap between what the government spends and what it takes in reached $984 billion for a 12 month period ending in September.

  • That's its biggest gap since 2012 when it had been exceeding a trillion dollars for several years.

  • But if U.

  • S trade disputes with other countries continue.

  • And if global growth slows down, as many analysts expected to the U.

  • S deficit could exceed $1 trillion once again next year.

  • Why is it so High Secretary Mnuchin says wasteful government spending needs to be cut.

  • Also, the tax cuts that were passed in 2017 reduced the government's revenue.

  • But when you're looking at the debt and the deficit that causes it, the numbers are always in flux.

  • America lives on borrowed money.

  • That's why the terms, debt and deficit gets thrown around so much.

  • But of course, they're not the same thing.

  • Let's first start with our definitions.

  • If a government spends more than it takes in any given here, the difference is called a deficit.

  • Debt or the debt is the total sum of government hopes.

  • So every year with the deficit, the debt grows larger.

  • Looking at a chart, we see that in 1950 that debt was around $257 billion.

  • That's compared to now at around $22 trillion.

  • But comparing the dead band to comparing the debt now it's a bit like comparing apples to oranges.

  • That's because when you talk about the deficit, you need context and the first thing to keep in mind.

  • Inflation, with inflation at $257 billion debt in 1950 suddenly becomes 2.8 trillion in today's money.

  • But you also have to look at the total size of the economy.

  • Our economy has grown tremendously since 1950.

  • We have more money, we have more assets.

  • We have more people.

  • That's why when economists talk about the debt, they prefer to use this number, the debt to GDP ratio.

  • It takes the total public debt and shows how big it is relative to the gross domestic product.

  • Now, if we go back to that dead comparison and instead show the debt as a percentage of the total economy, well, it's a different story.

  • U.

  • S number right now is around 106% which is the highest it's been since World War two.

  • And if you're wondering if that number's too high, well, there's no simple answer.

  • Some economists say 85% is too high, some say 100% some say even higher.

  • But regardless of which number is right, economists agree, these are the numbers you should be looking at.

  • It's been 500 years since Leonardo da Vinci passed away.

  • He was an incredibly influential Italian who died in France.

  • And though that fact has cost some tensions at an extraordinary exhibition that just opened in France, the show has gone on.

  • It opened Friday.

  • It also contains works from other artists that are related to those of Divinci.

  • He was considered an ideal Renaissance man because he was so gifted.

  • Sculpture, architecture, art invention Da Vinci was brilliant in multiple fields.

  • That's why half a millennium later, thousands are lining up just to see some of the pictures that came from his paintbrush or his pencil.

  • 10 Years in the Making the Lives Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibition features more than 160 works, including many items on loan from all over Europe.

  • In the United States, the Italian master spent his last years as court artists to France's King Francis, the first that helps explain the loos permanent collection of five of Da Vinci's surviving works and its decision to spend so much time and resources on this exhibition.

  • The musical movement had to do something that on 2019 because Leonardo Davinci decided to come in France in 15 16 and it's in France that he died 500 years ago.

  • Lose decision to organize this exhibition has led to some Franco Italian tensions.

  • Italy's far right politician and a former deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, is among those who has pointedly noted that da Vinci was Italian, not French.

  • And there was a public debate in Italy about sending works of art on loan to the loo.

  • That hasn't dampened the enthusiasm surrounding this event really an idea.

  • It's supposed to be the biggest, best exhibition on Leonardo that's taken place in an awfully long time.

  • And according to the Louvre, genius of the scale of DaVinci transcends nationality.

  • She only spent his last year in France, and that's why we are today institution owing the most of his paintings, but another that then she also he started as an Italian, but he became a universal genius.

  • This is a remarkable collection of Leonardo da Vinci's work on display all in one place.

  • The Vinci's most famous work, of course, the Mona Lisa is reportedly viewed by about 30,000 people at the loop each and every day.

  • It isn't part of this special exhibition, as the organizers say it would risk overcrowding.

  • The space ticket holders for the exhibition are free to take their place in line and jostle with the crap Poland on CNN for 10 out of 10 pumpkins float.

  • But will they float your boat?

  • They will have here this man.

  • He's a farmer in Tennessee who took a £910 pumpkin, carved it and set sail.

  • His name's Justin Ownby, and this is the biggest gored he's ever grown.

  • His previous record was a £220 pumpkin, so it's definitely making progress.

  • But he hopes that one day, maybe a soon as next year, he'll achieve 1000 pounder.

  • We think he's doing just fine.

  • You could see the Gore job he's doing stems from a fruitful desire to pick and patched together his own record, and hopefully his lantern will light up soon enough.

  • I'm Carlos.

a new week has begun.
