THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

[08:00:30] KRISTIE LU STOUT, HOST: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong. And welcome to News Stream.

Hillary Clinton is set to face congress over the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Now, the committee's Republicans say they want

answers, but critics think it's all aimed at derailing her bid for the White House.

Now, YouTube launches a subscription service, but will people pay for ad free videos?

Also ahead, one of the world's most polluted cities encourages people to leave their cars at home for one day, but can that solve New Delhi's

pollution problem?

All right, two hours from now, Hillary Clinton will be on Capitol Hill for a marathon televised grilling by a congressional committee on Benghazi,

Libya. This is the second time she's had to testify on the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound, which happened on her watch as Secretary of

State. But this time, she's right in the thick of a presidential campaign. So, every response and every gesture could bring even more scrutiny.

Now Clinton will be asked again about what happened on the night of September 11, 2012 when heavily armed militants overran the U.S. complex in

Benghazi. Four Americans were killed, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Now the incident raised questions about security measures at the compound and whether the attack could have been prevented. It remains

unclear whether the select committee has come up with any new information about what happened, but this time there was the added dimension of

Clinton's private email server unearthed by staffers in the multi-year investigation

Now this could mark one of the pivotal moments of her campaign.

Now Republicans in charge at the televised hearing say they only want to get to the bottom of what happened in Libya. Clinton's aides say it's

just another political witch hunt designed to derail her presidential bid.

Now, CNN's Brianna Keilar takes a look at what we can expect on Capitol Hill when that hearing kicks off.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I really don't know what to expect.

BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): This morning, just hours away from Hillary Clinton's highly anticipated Benghazi hearing.

CLINTON: They ended up becoming a partisan arm of the Republican National Committee.

KEILAR: A new CNN/ORC poll reveals the public agrees with the Democratic frontrunner. Seventy-two percent believe the investigation is

being used for political gain.

REP. KEVIN MCCARTHY (R-CA), MAJORITY LEADER: We put together a Benghazi special committee. A select committee. What are her numbers today?

Her numbers are dropping.

KEILAR: Two numbers of the GOP admitting as much.

REP. RICHARD HANNA (R), NEW YORK (via phone): This may not be politically correct, but I -- I think that there was a big part of this

investigation that was designed to go after people.

KEILAR: But committee chair, Republican Trey Gowdy, strongly denies he's playing politics.

REP. TREY GOWDY (R-SC), CHAIRMAN, SELECT COMMITTEE ON BENGHAZI: I have told my own Republican colleagues and friends, shut up talking about things

that you don't know anything about.

CLINTON: Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?

KEILAR: That anger and frustration palpable in Hillary Clinton's last testimony before Congress more than two years ago.

CLINTON: What difference at this point does it make?

KEILAR: A moment likely still fresh in the minds of the Republican- led committee members.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Madam Secretary, you let the consulate become a death trap.

KEILAR: Yet after three years of accusations, seven investigations, thousands of pages of e-mails and hours of testimony, Republicans say they

still have unanswered questions.

On September 11, 2012, Islamic extremists overran the U.S. mission in Benghazi, setting it ablaze and then storming the nearby CIA annex, killing

U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, as well as an information officer and two former Navy SEALs. But is Clinton ultimately to blame for the terror attack

and deadly security lapse? That's what some Republicans say is still unknown.

CLINTON: With specific security requests, they didn't come to me. I had no knowledge of them.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: Now that was CNN's Brianna Keilar reporting.

CNN will be covering the hearing live. That's at 10:00 a.m. in Washington, 10:00 p.m. Hong Kong time.

WikiLeaks has published email from the personal account of CIA director John Brennan, and it is threatening to release more.

Now the email came from a hack of Brennan's private account.

U.S. justice correspondent Evan Perez joins me now live from Washington with more on this story.

And Evan, what exactly was published? And was any classified information posted online?

[08:05:14] EVAN PEREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, we have several more days of this. WikiLeaks says that it has many more personal documents

stolen from CIA director John Brennan's private emails. The alleged hackers behind the theft say that they've got a lot more officials that

they're targeting.

So far there nothing classified among the documents that we've seen. You know, all are from before 2009 before Brennan joined the White House

and then moved over to the CIA.

There's a government form that Brennan filled out to get his security clearance as personal information about his medical health, it's got

information about his wife and friends. And there's a few papers that he wrote, including ones about intelligence policy in Iran.

We have a statement from the CIA that says, quote, "the hacking of the Brennan family account is a crime. And the Brennan family is the victim.

This attack is something that could happen to anyone and should be condemned, not promoted. The FBI and the Secret Service are investigating

this and they say that they've got some leads that they're pursuing. But so far, the people who have carried this breach -- carried out this breach

are outrunning the investigators. It goes to show you how tough it is to find people hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.

LU STOUT: Yeah, the CIA has condemned it. They've called it a crying committee with malicious intent. WikiLeaks is promising to release more,

more emails from Brennan tomorrow. What could be leaked next?

PEREZ: Well, so far we do know that there's a lot of papers that he wrote. He forward things to his private account. This is an email account

that he shared with his wife, so it appears that since he's been at the CIA, he's used this account a lot less and his wife has used it more.

You know, this is really just about, you know, shaming and perhaps embarrassing Brennan. These are a couple of activists that claim that

they're activists who are protesting U.S. foreign policy, that's what they say they did this for.

But really this is just personal stuff. And it's not really -- it's not really clear what public service or you know what benefit really comes

from doing this kind of hacking.

LU STOUT: All right, Evan Perez reporting for us. Live from Washington, thank you.

Now, a hospital in southern Sweden now says a teacher was killed after a school was attacked by a man wielding a sword. Now three people were

wounded in the attack, two students and a teacher. They are in serious condition.

Now earlier, CNN spoke with local police about what happened.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

STEFAN GUSTAFSSON, REGIONAL POLICE FORCE: They went through the (inaudible) locals in the school and during that time he injured four

persons -- two men and two boys.

One man, one male, is dead and the other three are in the hospital.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LU STOUT: Now police say that they shot and wounded the suspect. He's also in serious condition.

Now you're watching News Stream. And still ahead, YouTube is rolling out a new subscription service. What $10 a month will buy you.

Plus, a unique idea to fight pollution. We'll show you what New Delhi is doing to clear the air.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:10:56] LU STOUT: All right, welcome back.

Now YouTube is breaking away from its traditional business model to launch YouTube Red. Now this is a paid subscription service that will

remove ads.

Another key new feature is original programming that the website plans to commission.

The service will cost about $10 a month. But will there be demand for it? Our senior media correspondent Brian Stelter joins us now live from

CNN New York. Brian, good to see you. Thank you for joining us. And please, walk us through this new YouTube Red and what it means for us, the

video consumer, what kind of experience is it going to offer?

BRIAN STELTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yeah. Well, when I say YouTube what do you think of? I think of free and everything, but those two

factors are changing a little bit with this new service. Instead of being free, there will be basically a $10 a month flavor or version of YouTube.

It doesn't change the free version, but it creates this new version of YouTube.

And instead of having everything on the site, you'll have exclusive programming for the first time that you can only watch if you pay. Now

that's a lot like Netflix or Hulu or Amazon.

You know, we're all used to having to pay to watch certain TV shows and movies on Netflix and Hulu.

So, YouTube is essentially taking that kind of approach with this new service YouTube Red. It is a massive, massive change for YouTube. And

time will tell whether how many people are actually willing to pay for it.

But the strategy here, well they need subscriber revenue. It comes down to something as simple as that. Right now all of the money YouTube

makes is from advertising, and they're very, very eager to have a new form of revenue.

We can put on screen a few of the benefits of the service. The biggest one is no advertising, no interruptions, no preroll before videos.

Another one is that you'll be able to download videos for offline viewing. You'll be able to take them on the subway or something with you.

And like I mentioned, exclusive, original content as well.

Also, access to YouTube and Google's music streaming services. That's the other big perk here. It's like you get Spotify or Apple Music along

with your YouTube account.

So, altogether, that's about $10 a month, or $13 a month on the Apple iPhone operating system.

Either way, it's about the same price as Netflix or Hulu or Spotify. But a lot of people already pay for one of those and the question is

whether they're going to now pay for another service as well.

LU STOUT: It's interesting to see a music streaming is also going to be bundled in there. But I'm still trying to get my head around what a

YouTube produced original program will look like. I mean, one of the original shows that YouTube is going to launch, YouTube Red, is Scare

Pewdiepie. Of course it's starring the major YouTube star Pewdiepie. Is this a show that's still going to be in keeping with the original YouTube

channel or is it going to look more like traditional TV?

STELTER: We can see them walking toward traditional TV, but not running toward it. You know, they still want to preserve what makes

YouTube special, which is having these web stars, having shorter segments, not having to have half hour or hour long series.

You know, they did hire the former head of programming at MTV.

Suzanne Daniels who knows how to produce those half hour and hour long shows for cable.

So we will gradually see these YouTube shows looking more like TV, but trying to preserve the unique qualities of YouTube, that's going to be

essentially walking a tightrope to see if young people who love YouTube stars want to watch those kinds of programs.

You know, for now it's kind of like their toe is in the water, they're experimenting with exclusive shows you have to pay to watch. We'll see how

much further they get down this road. A lot of people think they'll eventually be head to head with a site like Netflix, but that would be a

giant change for YouTube, wouldn't it?

LU STOUT: Yeah, a huge change.

And Brian, you said it at the top straight up, you said, you know, YouTube we expect to find anything and we expect to find it for free. I

mean, YouTube consumers, we're not used to paying for online videos. So do you think people will be willing to pay for more premium video experience

on YouTube?

STELTER: Yeah, I think there's two reasons why they've got a good chance here at least. I don't know if it's going to work or not, but

they've got a good chance because there is evidence people are willing to pay a little more to get rid of the ads, to remove the ads. You know, we

see that on Netflix, there's no ads.

And on Hulu now there's a -- Hulu is only available in the U.S., but there's an option where for four dollars more you can get rid of all the

ads.

I myself have found that to be a very appealing experience on Hulu. You don't realize how interruptive ads are until you get rid of them all of

a sudden.

So maybe that will make the difference for YouTube. The other factor is, as you mentioned, the music streaming service. If you can essentially

get a music streaming service and then these other benefits of YouTube Red for free, then maybe that is a good value proposition for consumers.

But make no mistake, this is going to be the steepest of hills that YouTube is about to climb up, I think.

[08:15:17] ANDERSON: Yeah. And the subscription media market is getting more and more interesting.

Brian Stelter on the story for us. Thank you very much indeed for that. Take care.

Now you're watching News Stream. Still to come on the program, a wave of demonstrations in South Africa. Find out what student protesters are

demanding and how the government is responding. We get a live report when we come back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LU STOUT: Coming to you live from Hong Kong, you're back watching News Stream.

Now the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday will meet with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, their talks come just days after the

Kremlin welcomed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to Moscow.

His troops are now being helped by the Russian military. Still, the U.S. slammed what it described as red carpet treatment for a leader who

used chemical weapons against his own people.

Now, let's get the latest on what's happening on the ground in Syria. CNN's Nick Paton Walsh is following developments from Gaziantep in Turkey.

He joins us now.

Nick, the bombardment continues. What's the latest on the battle for Aleppo?

NICK PATON WALSH, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, it has been intense over the past few days, but in the last hours or so we've been

hearing about a hospital, not actually to the south of Aleppo, but more to its north and west in Idlib in a town called Saramin (ph), a hospital

which, according to monitors of this conflict and those running the hospitals say was in fact hit by airstrikes, unclear if they were Russian

or might have been Syrian air force potentially. But one suggestion that there are as many as 10, 12 people killed in that strike, perhaps two of

those were working at that hospital as medical staff.

But just part of the growing toll of an onslaught that is fierce, and that ferocity captured on video by one of the moderate rebels perhaps

receiving assistance from the United States on the front line who sent us these videos.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

WALSH: This is what it is like on the receiving end of the Russian- backed offensive, south of Aleppo. The moderate rebel fighter now lying

flat, sensing these pictures, saying it was the worst assault he had ever seen. Aided by drones that they also target.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Russian strikes seem to hit civilians most. Not us rebels, says this fighter before listing the several villages they have

lost in recent days. These eyes in the sky seem to be speeding the regime advance. The fables tow missile, an anti-tank rocket, supplied by rebels,

often by the U.S. hitting regime armor here. It helped rebels take ground fast recently. But, many more are needed for them to hold it now.

We are here to block the Russian and Iranian occupation, vows this commander, with the army of Islam. But, be it no doubt, this rallying call

may be drowned out by the noise of Russian jets. And the noise of rumbling armor. Syrian state TV showing while their president briefly visited Moscow

how they were advancing. Ramming it home, where in the south is now theirs. These images helping suggest why 50,000 civilians may now be on the move.

One rebel caught this front line volley on a body camera.

Such high tech intimacy in a fight that can seem so brutally medieval. Where a new power is changing the balance, but not lessening the old threat

to those helpless caught in the middle. Now, if there is a move towards the city of Aleppo, it could involve cutting off rebel held areas. That's the

plan the regime tried last year, but failed to pull off. That would be an unbelievable humanitarian catastrophe, really.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

WALSH: Now make no mistake, if that onslaught heads towards Aleppo City itself, remember it is to the southern countryside of that city, that

could be an unparalleled humanitarian crisis.

Yes, the east of the city that's held by rebels has been ground to dust. People trying to live in sort of skeletal remains there. But there

could be tens, if not hundreds of thousands still there. They may be sealed off by this offensive. It's unclear quite exactly where the troops

were working for the regime headed. They may, like they tried last year, try to go around to the north and seal off the access roads in and out of

that area.

But that's one element.

The second is a meeting happening tomorrow in Vienna. Saudi, Turkish, Russian, American foreign ministers will be there. This could be something

potentially. Often, we see diplomacy try to work parallel with changes on the battlefield here. Certainly the Russians feel they have momentum.

But as we've seen it also in the past, too, somebody may come with their new version of reality they want to see in Syria and see that

rejected out of hand by the counterparts at the negotiation table.

Stark times ahead, though, to the south of Aleppo -- Kristie.

LU STOUT: Yeah, stark times indeed. When the fighting is intensifying, that means the human toll is growing. Nick Paton Walsh

reporting for us live. Thank you, Nick.

Now South African President Jacob Zuma says that he will meet with university student leaders on Friday after protesters stormed parliament

grounds protesting planned tuition hikes.

Now the protests have shut down more than a dozen universities across the country. And students are using the hashtag #feesmustfall to rally and

share their experiences on social media.

Let's head straight to South Africa now. CNN's David McKenzie joins me live from Johannesburg. And David, the students will meet with the

president on Friday, but despite that more protests today. What's the latest?

DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, that's right. And, Kristie, more protests are planned and certainly we were out on the

streets here in Johannesburg, the latest university join is Johannesburg's biggest university. And that means, as you say, more than a dozen

universities shut down, protests throughout the country today. It's been quite incredible the amount of mobilization the students have got together.

As you say, mostly communicating on social media with the #feesmustfall's hashtag. They are often leaderless, certainly want the fees to be dropped

or eradicated altogether.

And this is all around a proposed fee hikes at many universities, which many students said was unaffordable.

You know, people on the street I've been talking to, these students say this is their fight, this is their moment to really gather together and

what they say is fight the system. And more than 20 years into South Africa's democracy, it's certainly unprecedented this level of student

protests here in South Africa -- Kristie.

[08:25:07] LU STOUT: Yeah, what more can you tell us about these student protesters. They are angry. They're very well mobilized online

and in the real world. They managed to score this meeting with the president.

Who are they? And just how well organized are they?

MCKENZIE: Well, they're very well organized in terms of gathering together, whether they can push their agenda forward is certainly the next

test.

But it seems like this anger has shifted somewhat. At first it was towards the university administrations, now what I'm hearing from the

protesters on the street is that it's also targeting the government itself, because many complain within universities that a small portion, maybe

sometimes 20 percent, of their finances are funded by the government and the rest is by frees and donations.

And so many of them said, well, they up the fees students won't even get in the door, they wont' be able top pay the registration fees to get

into university. They say they are South Africa's next generation of leaders. They need to be paid attention to.

And as you said, President Jacob Zuma saying that he will meet with both students and administrators on Friday at the seat of government here

in South Africa, that's a powerful statement in and of itself.

And while the ANC-lead government here seems to be trying to coopt the protests and say they agree with the protesters, some are saying they came

into this so late that they really don't have the moral authority to do that.

But they do appeal for calm and they say they want a negotiated solution. But on Friday, they could see massive protests here in the

Johannesburg/Pretoria region -- Kristie.

LU STOUT: Yeah, and dramatic scenes of protests.

David McKenzie reporting live for us from Johannesburg, thank you very much indeed.

You're watching News Stream. And still to come, people in New Delhi, they effectively choke on the air they breathe. Now find out what the

world's most polluted city is doing to change that.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:30:25] LU STOUT: I'm Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong you're watching News Stream and these are your world headlines.

A hospital in southern Sweden now says one teacher was killed after a school was attacked by a man wielding a sword. Now two students and a

teacher were wounded, and they are in serious condition.

A suspect was shot and is also hospitalized.

Hillary Clinton is about to testify before the U.S. House committee on Benghazi. The Democratic presidential frontrunner will be questioned about

her handling of the 2012 attack, which came during her tenure as Secretary of State.

Now CNN will carry the hearing live. It's set to begin in about 90 minutes from now.

The U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has met with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Berlin. Mr. Kerry called for an end to the

surge in Israeli/Palestinian violence. Meanwhile, Israeli police have reported yet another knife attack. They say two Palestinian men were shot

after they stabbed an Israeli man at a bus stop near Jerusalem. One of the attackers later died.

South African President Jacob Zuma says he will meet student leaders and university staff on Friday morning in response to violent protests

against planned tuition hikes. In a statement, the president said, quote, "he fully understands the pressure on poor students."

Now this is a typical rush hour scene in India: cars packed bumper to bumper spewing exhaust fumes into the air. Now, New Delhi has been labeled

the most polluted city on earth. And the filthy air, it's not just worsening climate change, it is clearly a health hazard as well.

The world health organization says the city's air pollution level is 15 times worse than what's safe for humans.

Needless to say, the Indian capital isn't the only city struggling with smog. Now coming up, we'll show you what London and Hong Kong are

doing. But first, CNN's Ravi Agriwal has more on New Delhi's latest attempt to reduce pollution.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

RAVI AGRIWAL, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: If it's nighttime, it's time for the trucks to roll.

While most of Delhi sleeps, more than 50,000 of these great heaving beasts ply the city's roads carrying goods.

But just look at them. Most tend to be many years old and poorly maintained. The result: exhaust fumes, a lot of it.

And after a night full of that, a typical Delhi morning often looks like this.

You can barely see more than a dozen feet ahead of you.

Well, it's afternoon here in New Delhi and things are a little bit clearer than they were in the morning. Now trucks aren't allowed to ply

these roads during the day, but cars are. And the sheer number of cars is a problem. Every day, 1,400 new cars join the 8.5 million already on the

streets here.

The World Health Organization has labeled India's capital the most polluted city on the planet.

Policymakers are beginning to react with New Delhi's government trying out what it's calling a car free day.

Delhites will be encouraged to leave their cars at home and instead take public transport.

Anumita Roychowdhry (ph) with the Center for Science and Environment says a car free day is a step in the right direction.

ANUMITA ROYCHOWDHURY, CENTER FOR SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT: Clearly, in terms of impact, it's not going to make that big of an impact, but it's

role is to make people aware.

So, really in terms of hard decisions that are needed today to be able to control the number of vehicles, we will really have to do a lot more.

AGRIWAL: One thing the government has been trying to do is boost renewable energy. In a plan submitted to the UN last month, India said

that by 2030, 40 percent of all its energy would come from non-fossil sources.

And what about those smoke belching trucks? Starting November 1, the supreme court will impose a steep tax on trucks entering the city likely

discouraging the ones that were using in New Delhi only as a thoroughfare. Small steps, many say, just a start on a very long road ahead.

DIANA MAGNAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm Diana Magnay in London. Now London's mayor Boris Johnson is making big changes to the city's streets in

a bid to improve air quality, starting off by cleaning up the bus fleet. He's brought 1,300 new hybrid buses to the city streets with hundreds more

expected next year. And he's also moth-balling 6,000 of the oldest, most polluting black cabs. And by 2018, any new taxi will have to meet zero

emission standards.

He also wants this whole city by 2020 to be the world's first ultra- low emission zone. And that means that if your car doesn't match the right standards by then you'll have to pay a fine when you drive through the

center of town.

IVAN WATSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Ivan Watson in Hong Kong where some of the city's 7 million residents are choking on the air

they breathe. Cases of chest infection and asthma have soared in recent years. And the problem has caused more than 2,600 premature deaths in

2014, according to a report by the University of Hong Kong and cost the economy nearly $4 billion.

So, what are the main causes and what is Hong Kong doing about it? A big factor is roadside pollution, the heavy volume of traffic in this

densely packed city means millions of people live and work close to busy roads, dramatically increasing their exposure to dangerous pollutants.

Hong Kong is offering subsidies to owners to switch to low emission cars. Think Tank Pacific Exchange says 98 percent of the worst pollutants

in the city's air come from commercial shipping and ferries. In July, Hong Kong introduced landmark new rules limiting the sulfur content of the

diesel used by ships to half of 1 percent.

Some also blame emissions blowing across the border from power plants and factories in southern China.

Hong Kong has made it a target to cut these emissions, partly by increasing cooperation with the mainland.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: And the air quality today in Hong Kong, it wasn't good.

Now for more on the devastating effect experts say climate change is having on our entire planet, please check out our website. Just go to

CNN.com/twodegrees. You can also ask your questions about climate change there.

Now, you're watching News Stream. And still to come, scientists say that they have confirmed the theory that may spook you. We'll explain.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LU STOUT: Welcome back.

Now I want to tell you about a new initiative here at CNN. We are launching the CNN Freedom Project hashtag #flytofreedom to help fight

modern-day slavery. And this is how you can join.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANDERSON: Slavery, you might think it's a thing of the past. It's not. It's all around us.

RICHARD QUEST, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: There are between 20 and 36 million slaves in the world today. 5.5 million children globally are in

forced labor. And half of all human trafficking victims are sexually exploited.

ANDERSON: Some 2011, the CNN Freedom Project has been highlighting modern day slavery. Giving a voice to victims.

Now, we need your help.

[08:40:08] ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Join CNN's Fly to Freedom campaign and help raise awareness of modern day slavery.

KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: Here is what we want you to do. Make a plane. Make a pledge. Show us your plane and pledge using

the hashtag #flytofreedom. And nominate two friends to do the same by tagging them.

COOPER: You might think you can't make a difference, but when we all unite as one, we can make a change together. It takes just a few minutes

to participate, so please join us.

QUEST: Share you videos and photos using the hashtag #flytofreedom and be part of ending modern-day slavery.

Let's show the world that it's time for slavery to stop.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LU STOUT: You saw it just then, I made my pledge. I acted on it. And invite you to do the same.

Now finally, the scientific community is abuzz with what could be a major breakthrough in physics. Researchers say that they have proved the

existence of something called quantum entanglement. Now it's complicated, but basically the idea is that two subatomic particles can be linked in a

way where changing one will instantly change the other.

For example, if I change this particle to red, the other one instantly turns green.

But there's more, now these are the same two particles, but now imagine that they're much further apart. Now scientists found that the

effect remains even when the two particles are separated by great distances. So, if I change this one to green, the other turns red

instantly.

Now the phenomena is so weird that Albert Einstein dubbed it spooky action. He said it was impossible, but now it seems Einstein has been

proven wrong.

And that is News Stream. I'm Kristie Lu Stout. But don't go anywhere. World Sport with Amanda Davies is next.
