COY WIRE, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. Happy Monday. Hope you had an awesome weekend. Let's rise up, lock in, and take the next 10 minutes to fuel our minds. I'm Coy Wire. CNN 10 starts now.

We're getting right into it today with the headlines, starting first with the port strike, which came to an end after three days and with likely only limited damage to the economy. Union workers under contract with the United States Maritime Alliance were back on the job on Friday after the two sides reached an agreement on wage increases, a key dispute in the strike. They agreed to raises of $4 an hour for the union members and $4 per hour raises every year after that over the six-year tentative deal.

While it's a good thing a prolonged strike was averted, it's going to take some time for the flow of goods to get back to normal. Logistics experts say it could take three to five days to recover from just that one day of a strike.

And news for the economy, where the United States added 254,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. That's 100,000 jobs over what was expected and a big boost for a labor market that economists worried was showing signs of weakness.

And not even two weeks after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, communities there are being urged to prepare again for another storm. This one, a potential Category 3 hurricane coming in from the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Milton is on a path to quickly intensify projected to make landfall on the state's West Coast midweek. The entire Southeast region was hit hard by Helene and news of another storm is worrisome.

Florida's Big Bend is still clearing debris and farther north in the Carolinas. The true toll of Helene's aftermath is still being accounted for as debris is cleared and search and rescues wrap up. CNN's Ryan Young gives us a look at how people there are managing after the storm.

RYAN YOUNG, CNN SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The pictures from above, just incredible. The before, the after.

BRITTANY NEAL, NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENT: I haven't seen my kids. I'm tired, hungry, still have no power.

YOUNG: Ripped up roads, destroyed homes and power lines down everywhere, making the recovery process and the search for the missing very difficult.

SHERRYE TRICE, NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENT: It's the not knowing what's happening around you. It's not knowing if help is coming.

YOUNG: Helene is the second-deadliest hurricane to strike the U.S. mainland in the past 50 years, a week after at least 200 people are still missing and just one North Carolina County and more than 200 people are dead across six states.

MICHELLE COLEMAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ASHEVILLE DREAM CENTER: We've never seen this before and I know that we don't really truly know the numbers of the loss of life here.

YOUNG: Stories of survival and neighbors jumping in to help neighbors are inspiring.

Floodwaters from Hurricane Helene were taking Leslie Worth downstream. Eddie Hunnell (ph), who was preparing for his son's wedding, heard Leslie screams in the water and jumped into a canoe.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So I jumped in and started swimming to her.

YOUNG: Others also springing into action. This championship kayaker brought supplies to residents trapped by floodwaters.

Across six states, the work to clear an open roads to help power crews get the lights back on while small businesses and families hope for a timeline to get life back to normal, it's just realistically not there for so many right now.

(On camera): Yeah, there are many families that are in critical need of that power because without the power, they have no air; without the air, a lot of the food is going to spoil. And on top of that, we talked to families who are barely making it by.

And they are wondering where they can get their next meal. We saw a lot of free food giveaways in these affected areas. And they're hoping that soon, the power comes back on.

WIRE: Now to a potential game changer in global commercial aviation, where the industry has long been dominated by two giants, Boeing in the United States and Airbus in Europe, who make nearly all of the world's airplanes. But China is looking to change that with its C919 airliner, a potential rival to the Western companies. Beijing debuted its C919 airliner outside of Chinese territory by staging a flyby at the Singapore Air Show in 2023, flying only within China since then.

The aircraft is a prominent symbol of Beijing's made in China strategy, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign manufacturers. CNN's Steven Jiang took his first trip on the aircraft. Take a look.
