CNN 10 is kicking off a new year of explaining world events! Our first story this Monday centers on the back-and-forth threats and military strikes between the U.S. and Iran. We're updating you on the raging wildfires in Australia. And we're explaining the significance of a new discovery concerning China's Terracotta Warriors.
