hello lovely people and hello Wednesday
I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 we got a big
show today not a lot of time to do it so
let's get to it we start with the news
that might be especially relevant if you
use social media apps like Instagram and
Facebook to catch you up to speed a
federal lawsuit was filed last month
against meta social media giant that
owns those apps it accuses the company
of harming Miners and contributing to a
mental health crisis in the US and now a
newly unsealed Court Document reveals
some of the details of that lawsuit it
claims meta knowingly refused to shut
down accounts of users under the age of
13 and accuses the company of collecting
children's personal information without
their parents' consent the unsealed
complaint also alleges meta knew its
algorithm could steer children toward
harmful content Instagram's term of use
does prohibit users under the age of 13
but attorney generals from 33 States
argue meta disabled only a fraction of
the accounts reported to the company for
violating this rule since 2019 meta
responded to the unsealed complaint by
telling CNN we want teens to have safe
age appropriate experiences online and
we have over 30 tools to support them
and their parents now the company says
they spent a decade working on these
issues and that they have hired people
who have dedicated their careers to
keeping young people safe and supported
online adding quote the complaint
mischaracterizes our work using
selective quotes and cherry-picked
documents unquote so what do you think
do you think these lawsuits might help
protect younger social media users and
what would your proposed solution be to
make these platforms safe for all to
use our next story is about finding the
light at the end of the tunnel and I
mean literally 41 workers were
successfully rescued Tuesday after
spending 17 days trapped inside a
collapsed tunnel under the Himalayas the
workers were able to survive after a
173t pipe was inserted through the
debris to provide them with food water
and oxygen it took weeks to drill an
escape route through the mountain with
rescue workers digging the last two
meters by hand to reach the trapped
people eventually though the group
emerged safe to the relief of families
gathered around the tunnel exit
officials say the workers appear to be
in good health despite the ordeal what
an impressive example of patience and
resilience all right another big story
this week on the artificial intelligence
front remember yesterday we mentioned
that the word of the year for 2023 is
authentic well one company is being
accused of being not authentic Sports
Illustrated deleted several articles
from its website after a report by
futurism found they were written under
fake author names that used profile
images generated by AI confused about
how something like this could happen at
this longtime magazine well a
spokesperson for the arena Group which
operates Sports Illustrated claims the
now deleted product reviews were created
by a third-party company called advon
Commerce the spokesperson says they were
assured that all the articles in
question were written by humans using
pseudonyms even so the group says it has
ended their partnership sh with advon
and are conducting an internal
investigation into what happened advon
has not responded to CNN's request for
comment now Pop Quiz Hot Shot 10 second
trivia what animal has the US Centers
for Disease and Control prevention
dubbed the world's deadliest poison dart
frog Komodo dragon black widow spider or
mosquitoes mosquitoes are the world's
deadliest animal because they spread
diseases like malaria and West kn IO
virus causing hundreds of thousands of
deaths worldwide each
year called to Earth Day 2023 is
focusing on how our actions particularly
in cities can affect wild and remote
regions today we head to Hawaii where
the race is on to save a native Forest
bird from a formidable foe that has
decimated their
population high up on a plaque to in the
middle of the Hawaiian island of kwaii a
team of researchers carefully transport
some extremely Precious
Cargo I have good foing here me
too you did it
it they've spent three days in this
remote and Rain soaked expanse of jungle
looking for something very specific and
very
small the Egg of one of the world's most
critically endangered species a Hawaiian
Honey creeper known as the akikiki found
nowhere else on Earth but here we are
going to be just trying to collect them
and bring them in um to a captive flock
just cuz the assumption is that all of
these birds are about to go
extinct according to the Hawaiian
Department of land and natural resources
there are only five of the species left
in the wild the current state of akaiki
is pretty bad right now we do have about
5050 akaiki in human Care at our two
centers in Hawaii and we do know that
this past breeding season there were no
surviving chicks in the wild Hannah
Bailey manages the kaha bird
Conservation Center on the island of
Hawaii the center serves as a noark of
sorts for the akikiki our mission is to
provide Safe Haven populations of the
species that are in Peril so that when
the environment is right for them to
survive long term we'll be able to
re-release them Hannah says the current
state of all of Hawaii's Forest Birds is
dire due in part to the usual culprits
like habitat loss but a newer and more
deadly Menace has emerged the biggest
threat right now to Hawaii's endangered
birds is mosquitoes because they carry
Aven malaria which the birds have no
resistance
to according to the American American
bird Conservancy climate change has
enabled non-native mosquitoes to find
their way to kawaii's highest elevations
the akik Kiki's last refuge in the wild
this is a portable Bruder box that we
can also use to incubate eggs and it
helps us transfer eggs from one location
to another that have been incubated
safely so that they will continue to
grow and
develop we need to have landscape level
solutions to the mosquito problem
and in doing this the state and many
other partners have worked with people
that have studied malaria around the
world and so they are researching
different solutions in malaria control
specifically ones that impact the
mosquitoes without impacting the
remainder of the
environment in the meantime keeping the
birds in centers like this one where
enclosures are designed to mimic their
natural habitat but protected from
mosquitoes and where human interaction
is strictly limited to discourage
imprinting a process where animals lose
their natural behavior these may very
well be an entire species last chance at
survival so kbcc along with San Diego
Zoo Wildlife Alliance has been working
really hard especially this last spring
in Saving the remaining akaiki in the
wild so our next step for these
populations is continuing to grow the
populations so that they have strong
genetic diversity and a strong
population to go back to their native
habitat today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 NBA superstar LeBron James
