hello there Superstars welcome to the

10 minutes in news where we tell you
simply the what letting you decide what
to think remember keep your ears open
today see if your vocab was chosen to
help write Today's Show we start today
talking about math according to a glob
Global exam for 15year olds students
around the world experienced an
unprecedented drop in math scores since
the last time this test was taken in
2018 now normally these assessments are
taken every three years by the
organization for economic cooperation
and development but it was pushed back
due to the covid-19 pandemic in the
United States students ranked 28th in
mathematics out of the 37 participating
countries the US did have stronger
performances in reading and science
ranking sixth in Reading 12th in science
US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona
praised the country's investments in
education but acknowledged that
Improvement is needed specifically
pointing to mathematics saying quote we
need a math Revolution next up some news
that could completely change the
landscape of College athletics NCAA
president Charlie Baker is proposing a
change that would allow top division one
schools to pay their student athletes
directly sort of like employees for the
first time ever in a letter to member
schools Baker suggests creating a new
subdivision that schools can opt into
one that would require these
institutions to compensate at least half
of their student athletes in The
Proposal some athletes can earn a
minimum of $30,000 per year this would
be on top of any scholarship money the
student athletes may already be
receiving this would also be on top of
any money the student athlete might make
from personal nil deals nil or name
image and likeness deals are fairly new
in 2021 a landmark case reshaped the
landscape of college sports the US
Supreme Court deciding that student
athletes should be able to appear in
commercials or advertisements for
businesses for example something that
was never allowed by the NCAA before
Baker says this new proposal is about
kickstarting a long overdue conversation
to create more permissive and flexible
rules 10 second trivia what animal
became such a popular pet in Rwanda that
the species nearly faced Extinction lion
Monkey Crane or
leopard a gray crowned crane is your
answer here becoming a status symbol
appearing in Gardens of hotels and at
private homes there were only 300 left
in 2012 but local conservation efforts
are aimed at helping the crane make a
comeback our world's wonderful Wetlands
play an essential role in our planet's
climate they're home to Rich
biodiversity and thousands of species of
animals but the UN says wetlands are
disappearing three times faster than
forests our resident Adventurer Bill we
takes us to some wetlands in Uganda
where Aven life
dominates in the wetlands of Western
Uganda Aven life Reigns
Supreme the landlock East African nation
is home to around a thousand species of
birds but none as iconic as the gray
crowned CR pain proudly em blazing at
the heart of the Ugandan flag this
gentle terrestrial bird is said to be a
symbol of progress for the country the
cran is one of the most gracious bir I'm
not surprised that Uganda chose it as
one to be our
emblem I have been studying and working
with birds for the last 28 years in
Uganda we have got about
1,70 different species of birs
at Global level we have got about 10,000
different species of birds so at that
level we got about between 9 and 10% of
the global population of the world
Birds over recent decades though
habitats for these colonies have come
under severe threat since the year 2000
a quarter of uganda's wetlands have been
lost an average of nearly 5,000 hectares
a year causing rapid an irreversible
change to the Cradle of the
cranes it is estimated that if this
degradation continues we shall lose all
the wetlands by
2030 and that would be a very big
disaster for the country and for the
world we started conducting research
here in 1995 that's when we discovered
that this Wetland had very many species
some of which are are endemic uh to this
area in other words if this Wetland goes
it means all those species will
disappear forever and that's when we
started working with the communities to
make sure that this Wetland can be
protected across the past three decades
Achilles has pioneered a large-scale
restoration program successfully
campaigning for the establishment of 12
Wetland sites of international
importance across Uganda this vital
intervention is helping cranes return to
their natural habitat and providing a
buffer to the human settlements that
threaten with hunting poisoning and
electrocution from power
lines we started mobilizing communities
and started incentivizing them so that
they can participate it takes long uh to
work with the with the community
group nature Uganda has also establish
estblished a network of crane custodians
who serve as Educators for local
communities and bird loving tourists
alike and this is what we need to fight
for we cannot lose our national symbol
we still have an opportunity to save
this beautiful

species have you ever heard of ghost
kitchens and we're not talking about
some haunted kitchen it's a term used
when talking about online only
restaurants there's no brick-and mortar
location where you can go in order your
food have a seat and eat during the
pandemic these ghost kitchens were
extremely popular especially when it
came to the high demand of food delivery
service there were such high hopes for
ghost kitchens that they were expected
to make up more than 20% of the
restaurant industry by 2025 over6
billion dollars were invested in ghost
kitchens during the pandemic but now I
guess you could say that ghost kitchens
are being ghosted more and more
consumers want to get out and eat at
restaurants in person and they want to
see where they're getting their food
from some prognosticators warned that
businesses like ghost kitchens Zoom
pelaton instacart which boomed during
the pandemic might see a major downtick
as consumers would want to probably
return to their old
