what's up sunshine welcome to CNN 10
where I tell you the what letting you
decide what to think I'm KY wire today's
hashy word Wednesday so thank you for
all of the exceptional submissions be on
the lookout to see if your word helped
us write this show and augmented our
vocabulary lots to get to not a lot of
time to do it so let's get to it we
start on Wall Street where the stock
market set a record high on Monday the
Dow Jones Industrial Average a stock
market index which tracks the 30 biggest
companies in the US Rose 138 points
Crossing 38,000 for the first time ever
but what this means is a bit more
complicated than just a ringing of
celebratory Bells stocks may be looking
good right now but some experts like JP
Morgan CEO Jamie Diamond warned that
Wall Street isn't paying enough
attention to the potential impacts of
political tensions around the world
these experts point to Russia invading
Ukraine Israel's war with Hamas tensions
between China and the US and China and
Taiwan as examples of developments
around the world that they say could
impact the economy and aside from what
could happen it's important to look at
what's actually happening with the
economy right now you may remember
recently our show examined how there is
a disconnect between the current
economic reality which is looking pretty
good and its perception many Americans
aren't feeling all that great about it
despite avoiding a recession in 2023 and
with positive employment numbers a
December CNN poll found that 71% of
Americans said the economy was poor but
that may be changing a recent survey
from the University of Michigan showed
that as inflation or a rise in prices of
goods and services has slowed Americans
are feeling much better about the
economy 21% better than last year to be
exact and they also have the most
positive attitude towards the economy
since July of 2021 of course things
could change especially in an election
year where perception can be everything
and if things do change we'll have you
covered on how and why right here on CNN
10 and you know us we're not going to be
CES with padan about it next up we're
putting you to a test a stress test well
we're showing you one so no need to
worry or fret just sit back and chillax
as we take you to one of NASA's space
centers in Alabama where a company
called Sierra space recently tested an
inflatable space station that once in
orbit expands to a three-story High
building arm McKenna Yu is on the
story a commercial space company burst
its full-size space station module on
purpose Sierra space conducted the test
at NASA's Marshall space flight center
in
Alabama it was to measure the strength
of its expandable
structure the company says the module
called a life habitat is a place for
living and working on a future space
station it launches on a rocket and
inflates on orbit it has to be strong
enough to withstand the harsh
environment of space to test that the
soft structure was inflated until it
failed sier said it exceeded NASA's
stress recommendation by
27%
Sierra space has an agreement with NASA
to test commercial products at Nasa
facilities and plans more aggressive
testing of the habitat this
year that story was on and popping next
we're talking AI specifically what
artificial intelligence could mean for
your education North Carolina recently
became the fourth state to create
Official Guidelines for using AI in
schools the guide book says teachers can
use AI to save time helping with things
like automating administrative tasks so
they can focus more on actually teaching
and students well they can use AI tools
to help them overcome certain hurdles
like voice to text for example could
help some students who may face
challenges while typing or writing and
translation tools could help some
students who are still working to break
down language barriers North Carolina's
main point of emphasis was that they
feel it's important to incorporate AI in
the classroom but it's just as important
to do so responsibly to make sure our
students are able to Le leverage the
value of artificial intelligence while
protecting from Temptations cheating and
and doing something they shouldn't be
doing academically we are charged with
preparing our students students for the
world that they'll enter as they leave
our school system we have to make sure
they're ready come along with me now as
we take a trek to Ethiopia where a
startup company is working to transform
the country's discarded plastic into
Sustainable Building Materials CNN
producer hadra Ahmed traveled to the
capital city of Addis Ababa to learn
more like many major cities around the
world Ethiopia's capital Adis Ababa has
a problem with plastic
every year thousands of tons of plastic
are left on the street a major problem
seeking an urgent Solution that's where
this man fits
in kidus ASA co-founded cubic in
2021 it's a business that turns hard to
dispose of plastic into lowcost building
materials my personal Journey at cubic
meant a lot because I'm a father of
three uh three very beautiful wonderful
smart Ethiopian kids who've lived abroad
for a very long time and I wanted to
make sure that I can participate in
creating a city and a country that they
can be proud to come back to and work
and live the same way that I have and
it's never an easy topic to hear on the
news about the perception of countries
like mine when it comes to Poverty when
it comes to difficulties of life and
instead of sitting back and watching I
felt that I had a conviction like many
others to participate in changing that
narrative by working here and really
changing what a city like Adis SAA could
look like in the next 20 to 50 years to
help make his vision of creating a new
look city cubic has invested in a
state-of-the-art factory so today we are
at the Adama industrial park we are at
cubic Factory facility where we're going
to be converting over 45,000 kilos of
plastic waste every single day into our
building materials today is a very
exciting and a very emotional day it's
been 2 years in the making with a lot of
ups and downs and making it work so just
even seeing a container open and seeing
the stuff that we've been talking about
for over a year has just put a lot of
tears into our eyes the team is really
excited we're very
uplifted and we really want to see now
this working not only in the factory but
all over the country success for me is a
happy customer in our case a happy
customer is that person that never had
the opportunity and choice to live in a
clean beautiful
house being able to do
