マイナビ女子オープン第1局

先手番の甲斐智美女流五段が初手２六步で，居飛車宣言して，
居飛車穴熊，後手番の西山朋佳女流三冠は三間飛車の対抗形。
西山女流三冠に形勢が傾いたと思われた終盤で，一度，互角に戻り，
最後突き放す形で，防衛に向けて，白星発進。
両者とも陣屋での対局は相性が悪い中で，西山女流三冠が陣屋で２勝目，
甲斐女流五段は結局，白星無しで終わることになりました。

CNN 10

Venezuelan Avatar Anchors | April 4, 2023
Today CNN 10 looks at how an astronaut’s first spaceflight will be long and historic. Astronaut Frank Rubio initially set out for a six-month mission, but a coolant leak on his spacecraft means he will be stationed in space until at least the end of September, making it the longest mission ever for a US astronaut. Then CNN 10 heads to Arkansas where we will show you the aftermath of a tornado that rocked a local high school football field. CNN 10 will also head to Venezuela where “news anchors” are created by AI technology. And before you go, CNN 10 dives underwater in the trenches off Japan to show you the deepest fish ever filmed. All that and more on this episode of CNN 10.
