lovely people wonderful Wednesday to you
we're halfway through to a week and
we're going to keep on grinding and
Shining because that's just what we do
I'm Coy this is CNN 10 the best 10
minutes in news remember to keep your
ear out today for your vocab word in
today's show we begin today through the
confusion in the nation's capital check
out this photo looks pretty real right
well it's not this fake image appears to
show a major explosion near the Pentagon
but experts say the image has all the
makings of being generated by AI or
artificial intelligence it was even
shared by numerous verified Twitter
accounts with blue check marks including
one falsely claiming it was associated
with Bloomberg News the fake image from
the fake account posted quote large
explosion near the Pentagon complex in
Washington DC initial report well local
officials were cognizant of these false
reports and they confirmed that no such
incident occurred and experts said the
building in the image doesn't even
closely resemble the Pentagon the fire
department in Arlington Virginia
responded in a tweet stating that the
department and the Pentagon Force
Protection Agency were quote aware of a
social media report circulating online
about an explosion near the Pentagon
there is no explosion or incident taking
place at or near the Pentagon
reservation and there is no immediate
danger or hazards to the public unquote
now this Mayhem and confusion even
impacted the stock market with Wall
Street seeing a brief dip during the
trading day this fake image even tricks
some international news outlets false
reports making their way to air on major
Indian television network Republic TV
explosion reported near Pentagon which
cited reports from the Russian news
Outlet RT the news Outlet later
retracted that report when it became
clear that the incident never took place
our Donnie O'Sullivan has more on this
viral hoax there's two real parts to
this right there's first is Elon musk's
Twitter
um a lot of your viewers might remember
the whole Saga about the blue check
marks on Twitter the verified check
marks most has basically taken all of
those away uh and is selling them now to
people who want to get a blue check mark
So whereas before if you had a blue tick
on Twitter it meant that Twitter had
verified you are the person or the
organization you're claiming to be
that's not really the case so what
happened this morning was somebody
posted using a an account that they
claimed uh was linked to the Bloomberg
News organization uh posting that AI
generated image and claiming there had
been some kind of explosion at the
Pentagon that then got shared across
multiple other verified accounts that we
saw it on other platforms too looked
quite coordinated but we don't know
right now who who pushed this multiple
experts we've spoken to and others who
have observed this online say that that
is an image generated by artificial
intelligence and you can see there
particularly people who are familiar
with Washington that the building in in
the picture is not the Pentagon but you
know it just goes to show even with a
crude fake like this and some verified
accounts on Twitter
um that you know you could still cause a
lot of trouble
10 second trivia in what country would
you find the highest point in the
Western Hemisphere Ecuador Argentina
United States or Canada
Argentina is your answer here akankagua
is a mountain part of the Andes
Mountains rising to around 22 000 feet
all right Argentina has a massive nearly
2 million acre Park called iberra
national park with thousands of plant
and animal species and now they're
reintroducing the largest cats on the
continent Jaguars awesome cats like the
Collegiate cougars in Richmond Virginia
now bringing these Jaguars back to the
Park's ecosystem is part of the
restoration or rewilding efforts
happening there our Bill Weir has more
in the upper right corner of Argentina
you will find a lush land brimming with
life a park called Ibarra and home to
four thousand species of plants and
animals
near the very top of that intricate food
chain and vital to keeping it balanced
is the Majestic Jaguar but until 2021
the biggest cat in South America had not
been seen in the wild here for 70 years
when we decided to try to reintroduce
Jaguars back into the ibra ecosystem we
had to First understand what what
happened to them in the first place so
we went back in it's not hard to find
and you see why there are no Jaguars
left and this 2 million acre territory
Chris and Doug Tompkins made a fortune
in Adventure Gear and fashion but now
hold the legacy of launching what Chris
calls a world first breeding program
aimed at reintroducing keystone species
back into the region
almost 11 years later now we have
between 14 and 18 Jaguars living in the
wild
and we have seven individuals who are
sort of on Deck to be released
it's the fruit of a labor Chris and Doug
began decades ago when they traded in
high-powered lives in fashion for a
cabin Off the Grid du deep in Patagonia
the roots of Tompkins conservation
sprouted when dug after a really
successful business career went back to
Chile and Argentina in the early 90s
looking for a way to give back to the
two countries he loved so much and
helped nature begin to heal itself
Doug's Vision involved a re-wilding
approach to conservation and he began by
buying up millions of Acres turning
ranches back into grassland and Forest
and then giving it all away with the
creation of new national parks to create
the system where species that have gone
missing have the space and the safety to
come back and not be extincted again
[Music]
along with its offshoots re-wilding
Argentina and rewilding Chile
Tompkins conservation has conserved
around 15 million Acres over the last
three decades and after tragically
losing her husband Doug to a kayaking
accident in 2015 Chris Tompkins carries
on the dream this photograph is a
picture of Doug and me flying in the
little plane which we did nearly every
day and really understanding the
territories that we were becoming
interested in and would eventually
develop as national parks to date their
donated land has inspired the creation
or expansion of 15 national parks and in
addition to the Jaguar they've
successfully reintroduced 13 other
species like the giant anteater collared
peccary and pompous deer
so here's an example of community
members a species that had gone extinct
in his back now and a team member that
tells the whole story rescuing and
orphaned and teacher Cub come on boy
let's go I feel extraordinary Pride for
what we've done so far but I'm
definitely not satisfied I'm happy about
the past but I'm completely focused on
the future what will we be talking about
in 10 years so we can Elevate ourselves
because of what's been done in the past
what can we do now what are we doing now
