lovely people happy Friday Eve it's
Thursday September 28th I'm koi this is
CNN 10. let's start with a random
thought Thursday why is it that only
other people can tickle us we can't
tickle ourselves or why is it that when
we're making cookies we bake them but
when we're making bacon we cook them
anyways now I'm just hungry and I hope
you are hungry for some knowledge let's
get to our top story of the day the U.S
government and 17 states are suing
Amazon they allege the company has
abused its position as an e-commerce
Giant and harmed Fair competition that's
why the Federal Trade Commission also
known as the FTC filed a lengthy
complaint alongside 17 Attorneys General
the FTC is responsible for enforcing
laws that protect consumers like us
they're meant to prevent fraud and
unfair business practices to that end
the new lawsuit claims that Amazon
unfairly promotes itself over other
sellers that use the platform and that
it puts those sellers at a disadvantage
by requiring fees for certain benefits
the FTC also argues that for sellers who
list products on many different websites
Amazon forces those sellers to put their
lowest price on its platform for its
part Amazon has denied the allegations
in a blog post the company's senior vice
president David zapolsky said the
lawsuit is quote wrong on the facts and
the law unquote now it's too soon to
tell who will win this argument the
lawsuit could take years to play out
elsewhere however potentially as early
as Sunday there is a looming government
shutdown CNN White House producer Betsy
Cline has more
the U.S Senate and House of
Representatives are working around the
clock to come to an agreement on how to
fund the government before it runs out
of money just days from now and there's
still a lot of disagreement on how to
get that done if they can't reach a deal
before the deadline the government will
shut down and that means that all the
money the government spends every single
day on programs affecting all Americans
gets shut off nearly 4 million federal
workers will immediately stop getting a
paycheck and that puts an enormous
burden on many federal workers
especially those who live paycheck to
paycheck now the White House has told
each department and agency it's time to
come up with its own set of plans and
procedures detailing who's essential and
who isn't here are some examples U.S
service men and women are essential
workers so they'll keep working without
pay still the White House is warning
that a shutdown could put National
Security at risk as many of the civilian
workers that support them will be
furloughed and while TSA agents and air
traffic controllers are all essential
workers many of them can't afford to
work without pay and the last time there
was a shutdown in 2019 there were major
delays at airports across the country
because many had to call out sick to
find other ways to make money
during a shutdown according to the White
House the Environmental Protection
Agency would roll back most of its
inspection activity at hazardous waste
sites and drinking water and chemical
facilities that could impact clean
drinking water
and a government shutdown could also
affect some of the country's most
beloved Treasures like museums and
national parks all Smithsonian museums
and the National Zoo would be closed
according to 2021 guidance though a
shutdown was not affected to animal care
it's still unclear whether national
parks would close but in past shutdowns
the surrounding facilities have closed
with trash piling up and toilets
overflowing there are lots of other
impacts to Services we all depend on and
the key question now is whether Congress
can come together and reach a deal
before the clock strikes midnight on
Sunday
10 second trivia which of these is a
palindrome fire truck race car desserts
or room
if you said race car put your hands up a
palindrome as any word or phrase that
spelled the same forwards as backwards
so entire freezes can be palindromes as
well Like A Man A Plan A Canal Panama a
man a plant a Canal Panama pretty wild
right well race car is a palindrome
that's at the heart of our next story
meet Jessica Hawkins the 28 year old
former British karting champion and W
series racer last Thursday she became
the first woman in almost five years to
test a Formula One car Formula One is
the wildly popular sport for racing

me it's a big moment for the team it's a
big moment for women's sport or women's
Motorsport especially and Hawkins said
she hopes her test drive inspires more
women to get into the sport now for an
estheticious story about someone who
wants to inspire women to unlock their
potential meet CNN's Champion for change
Sophia Chang she created a mentorship
program for women of color like CNN's
own Sarah seidner
this is my 27th year in television news
I have reported from maybe a Sri Lanka
India at least 15 countries I moved to
New York in March of 2022. after 14 and
a half years in the field the pivot from
the field to the Anchor chair was
uncomfortable people think that I'm
fearless because I go into war zones or
because I go into conflict this is an
important day especially for the rebels
but I am afraid of failure because I
grew up with very little that battle to
survive taught me to work really hard
[Music]
what Sophia does is she teaches you to
break through that fear
to get to where you need to be people
always say how do I start I knew the
second I met you I'm going to invite you
to one of my dinner yeah you knew me for
five seconds and you're like I'm gonna
show you New York I'm going to show you

there as a vessel to learn and to give

quilt of human beings
Sophia stitched a storied career most
famously managing an A-list of hip-hop
royalty I will never stop saying my name
is Sophia Chang and I was raised by
Wu-Tang I was a yellow girl in a white
world who wanted to be white
and then I meet Wu Tang
and they are so
reverential
of Asian culture they brought me around
to a love of my culture and therefore a
love of self
a self-love that later motivated Sophia
to create a space exclusively for women
of color she calls it unlock her
potential
Sophia is a champion she's going to make
sure that you feel proud of whatever it
is you accomplished
