[music] What's up, sunshine?
I'm Koi Wire.
We've got history, politics, space, national park, sports, science, maybe even the next Andrea Bochellia.
10 minutes of news, big world.
Let's rise up.
We begin in Venezuela where huge crowds packed the streets welcoming opposition leader Maria Corina Machado back home for the first time since December.
>> Machado had been outside Venezuela since leaving to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
Before that, she spent months in hiding after Venezuela's disputed 2024 presidential election in which she was barred from running.
Former President Nicholas Maduro won that election, but a lot has changed since then.
Maduro was removed in a US military operation in January and is now facing criminal charges in the United States.
His former vice president, Deli Rodriguez, is serving as acting president with backing from the US during the country's transition.
Machado says Venezuela needs a new presidential election.
She posted videos of her arrival in Karacas with the message, "Together we will achieve freedom." So far, the US backed negotiations transitioning the Venezuelan government toward a democracy have not included her.
So, her return raises a big question.
What role will Venezuela's most prominent opposition figure play in what comes next?
Now to Brazil in a political comeback for the history books.
President Luis Inasio Lula Dilva has won re-election, securing an unprecedented fourth non-consecutive term.
The 80-year-old leftist president defeated right-wing Senator Flavio Bossaro, son of former President Jaier Bossaro, in a runoff.
Bossaro is not conceding.
He's challenging the results, saying he will ask Brazil's electoral authorities to annull the runoff.
Why?
His campaign is objecting to a Supreme Court justice's decision to extend voting nationwide by two hours.
Bolsinaro calls that unacceptable.
Brazil's electoral court has declared Lula the winner.
So now one election may be over, but the legal and political fight may be just beginning.
NASA is calling Artemis 3 one of the most complicated spaceflight campaigns it has ever attempted.
Why?
It's not just one spacecraft.
It's like an orbital team project.
NASA plans to launch four astronauts aboard Orian in 2027, while two competing companies, SpaceX and Blue Origin, launch test versions of their lunar landers separately.
And now NASA just announced that the astronauts will practice meeting, docking, living aboard, and operating those spacecraft in low Earth orbit.
Why rehearse all this just a few hundred miles above our planet?
Because NASA wants to work out the bugs before astronauts go approximately 240,000 miles away around the moon.
The lessons from Artemis 3 are designed to help NASA decide how to pull off Artemis 4.
Currently planned for 2028, which could return humans to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.
Apparently with space exploration, you got to crawl before you can moonwalk.
Pop quiz hot shot.
Which US national park is primarily underwater preserving the world's third largest coral reef?
Biscane, Yusede Glacier, or American Samoa?
If you said Biscane, you're basically brilliant.
Just south of Miami, Biscane National Park is 95% water, protecting mangroves, islands, shipwrecks, and it's home to over 500 species of marine life.
I didn't even know national parks could be mostly underwater.
learn something new on this show every day.
Well, America, we just got a new national park.
This past week, President Donald Trump signed the Cherikawa National Park Act into law.
A hidden gem according to the National Park Service in Wilcox, Arizona, rising between the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, protecting a rich cultural history tied to Apache indigenous people, the Buffalo Soldiers, and ranchers.
And there's a wide range of wildlife within the towering rock formations and mountain landscapes formed by a volcanic eruption nearly 27 million years ago.
So what does constitute a national park here in the US?
Well, two things according to the National Park Service.
Congress passing legislation authorizing their creation or by presidential authority under the Antiquities Act of 1906.
Generally, Congress creates them after studying whether a place contains nationally significant natural, cultural, or historic resources.
Now, the nation's 64th park, Chiikawa, is reigniting talks about where the next national park might emerge.
Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Idaho, all have natural sites or state parks under consideration.
There's a saying, the mind is everything.
What we think, we become.
And the women's lacrosse team at Boston College knows even elite athletes can crack under pressure.
So alongside working on speed, strength, and stick skills, they're training something you can't see, their minds.
They're using a program called Bet on You.
Their coach told our Bin Jingrass, "Things are a lot different now.
>> Pass out of it.
Pass out of it." >> Boston College women's lacrosse team is a powerhouse in the sport.
If she overplays, then you roll back.
led by Acasia Walker, who's adopted a critical new approach to coaching, prioritizing her players mental health.
>> You told me one time, you're a therapist and a coach.
What did you mean?
>> There's so much of my job that uh is not X's and O's.
It's managing a group of 40 young women.
I've just learned over time that if I don't have a pulse on on what's going on in their life outside of lacrosse, then I can't properly coach them anymore.
>> So then that translates into performance.
>> Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
I think the pressure on these young women because there's more eyes on them.
We used to say, "Suck it up.
You're going to be okay." Right.
Well, that's not working anymore.
A recent study by the NCAA reports female student athletes experience mental health concerns, stress, and feeling overwhelmed at more than twice the rate of their male peers, which could lead to burnout, athletes quitting, health issues.
>> Days I was feeling rough.
>> Professional athletes like Ko Goff, Naomi Osaka, and Simone Biles have all openly challenged the stigma of staying quiet about their own mental health struggles.
>> I think people are finally starting to buy in that this is not this is not fake.
This is this is real.
>> You guys are ready.
>> People understand that it's for the happiness of these student athletes.
>> And that's where sisters Aaron Connor and Katie Wood, both former collegiate athletes, come in.
>> If you're not training the mind, you will fall behind.
It is a difference between good and great.
>> Athletes that I work with especially is that they overthink.
Um they hesitate.
They doubt themselves.
Um they crumble.
If a coach is saying giving them feedback in with the wrong tone, sometimes it's taken the wrong way.
>> So, if you can train them number one to have the awareness that it's very normal to have these thoughts, but how do you get past that?
>> Controlling the controllables.
>> BC's women's lacrosse team devotes hours of practice time to Connor and Wood's Bet on You program.
[laughter] >> We're teaching about the mind.
We're teaching the power of visualization and the voice in your head.
were teaching the power of gratitude, which is not talked a lot about in sports.
>> They start with 1% better.
How can I get a little bit better than I was yesterday?
>> One unique component of their training is a specialized journal.
>> It's literally the first thing that I do in the morning.
I wake up.
I get [clears throat] dressed.
Yeah.
I brush my teeth.
I walk downstairs.
I turn on the coffee pot.
I write the journal.
Takes me 3 minutes to do.
Junior defender Lydia Kalisante tore her ACL two seasons ago and largely credits the intense mental work for her comeback >> and it dug me out of a big hole.
Your sport is such a huge part of like what you identify with.
Um, and I think this kind of helped me figure out like I'm so much more than just a lacrosse player.
>> And that's the goal.
Work on the whole athlete.
and we hang our national championship banners and >> the wins will follow >> and there's little girls looking up to them every game.
I think it it's a good reminder for our girls.
Be strong enough to get through all of the hurdles and try to, you know, be the best.
>> Family.
>> Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.
A field trip that might just be producing the next great opera star.
Cue the high notes.
The Lyric Opera of Chicago welcomed more than 150 students from six public high schools for its third annual Coral Fest.
Led by chorus director Michael Black and professional singers, students got to rehearse like the pros learn how an opera comes together and eventually perform on the lyrics main stage.
I hope they see this as a place where they can if they want if they want to work in the arts or perform or sing that this is a place for them.
The lyric is all about fostering the arts and breeding creativity into their students.
And that is music to our ears.
That is our 10 for the day.
Before we go, shout out time.
Our first one is a twofer in Bosezeman, Montana, Miss Wooten at Chief Joseph Middle School, and Mrs.
Deazir at Meark Juniper Jack.
Rise up.
Our next shout out goes to Mrs.
Bokino, Miss Rakoitz, and all of our Vikings at Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School in Port Washington, New York.
Rosbrook, you rock.
Stay curious, stay kind, make someone smile today.
You might be exactly what someone needs.
