hello sunshine happy Friday fry yay it's
February 2nd Groundhogs Day let's go
fast let's go fun get you all kinds of
knowledge and information in the best 10
minutes in news I'm KY wire this is CNN
10 where we tell you the what letting
you decide what to think Chief
Executives of some of the biggest social
media companies testif before the Senate
Judiciary Committee this week in front
of some families who say they've lost
loved ones because of social media
Executives of meta Tik Tock snap Discord
and X formerly known as Twitter were
peppered with difficult questions about
the risks that their products May pose
to young people we'll turn to CNN's Tom
Foreman Who highlights this tense
hearing and as we watch try to think
critically about this dilemma who all is
responsible for the harm that can be
caused by social media companies
platforms What would would you suggest
that the companies themselves and users
can do to maybe mitigate the risks
involved should Congress pass laws to
protect users what would you do to make
these platforms safer but you have blood
on your hands your product is killing
people will you set up a victim's
compensation fund with your money the
money you made on these families sitting
behind you yes or no Mark Zuckerberg
founder of Facebook whose company owns
Instagram pushed into apologizing to
families who say they were harmed by
online content some waving pictures of
children who died or killed themselves
it was an astonishing moment yet the
billionaire head of meta dug in anyway
and this is why we invested so much and
are going to continue doing industry big
efforts to uh to make sure that no one
has to go through the types of things
that your families have had to suffer
your platforms really suck at policing
themselves against a torrent of
accusations from the senate committee
about enabling sexual exploitation
election meddling fake news drug abuse
and child endangerment the heads of five
tech Giants tried to push back we very
much believe that this content is
disgusting X will be active and a part
of this solution but the fury kept
coming in a rare show of unity between
Democrats onethird of fentanyl cases
investigated over 5 months had Direct
ties to social media and Republicans 37%
of teenage girlss between 13 and 15 were
exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on
Instagram you knew about it who did you
fire Senator this is why we're building
all who did you I'm not going to answer
that there was plenty of heat to go
around as the tech bosses were scorched
with claims their products promote
anxiety depression and violence
especially among young people children
are not your priority children are your
product but no one was hit harder than
Zuckerberg who attempts at defense at
times were literally laughed at my
understanding is that we don't allow
sexually explicit content on on the
service for people of any age how is
that going uh you know are are uh is
there any one of you willing to say now
that you support this bill many of the
lawmakers are intent on overturning a
longstanding federal law that immunizes
those companies from lawsuits over user
generated content and putting tough
regulations in place it's time to
actually pass them and the reason they
haven't passed is because of the power
of your company so let's be really
really clear about that and while the
tech bosses say they're happy to work on
safeguards skepticism ran rampant
nothing will change until the courtroom
door is open to victims of social media
sometimes in hearings like this
lawmakers seem like they just don't
understand how Tech really works but
they do understand human suffering they
know the political power of that and
they know how to count vote is one of
them noted today and big Tech could be
on the wrong side of the next one and
facing regulations like never
before Pop Quiz hot shot in the US women
make up what percentage of licensed
Pilots fewer than 10% fewer than 20%
nearly 50% nearly
75% answer is fewer than 10% according
to a recent women in aviation Advisory
board report for the Federal Aviation
Administration
a team of underwater archaeologists and
Marine robotics experts believe they
found a clue to what happened to
Aviation Legend Amelia aart whose plane
mysteriously went missing 87 years ago
aart was a pilot who broke both gender
stereotypes and Aviation records
becoming the first woman to fly solo
across the Atlantic Ocean and first
pilot to fly solo and non-stop across
the US her final flight on July 2nd 1937
became one of the greatest Unsolved
Mysteries in American history history
she had an ambitious goal to become the
first woman to fly around the world and
made it 2third of the way then Amelia's
plane went missing but as CNN's Jeremy
Roth explains a group of deep sea
explorers believe they found the
plane a group of deep sea explorers say
a sonar image captured in the middle of
the Pacific Ocean May reveal Amelia
erhart's long-lost final flight using
Cutting Edge sonar Imaging Tech the
South Carolina based deep sea Vision
team scanned more than 5,000 miles of
ocean floor before capturing an image
showing an anomaly more than 16,000 ft
underwater that matches the size and
features of the lock 10e Electra
airheart was piloting when the
pioneering Aviator went missing nearly
87 years ago the uh twin vertical
stabilizers in the back are very clear
on the sonar image and those were very
distinctive of Amelia aarts aircraft and
we were very happy to see those at this
point the findings are still speculative
but have already attracted the attention
of prominent Aviation experts who say
the intriguing findings warrant a return
Expedition the deep sea Vision team
hopes more information could help them
bring closure to one of American
history's great
[Applause]
Mysteries today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 Groundhog Day every year on
February 2nd an event dating back to the
19th century takes place in my home
state of Pennsylvania in the town of
punk Satani the so-called weather
capital of the world members of the
local groundhog Club yes there's such a
thing dress in hats and tuxedos and
await the Hero of the Day punk Satani
Phil the crowd gathers to see whether
Phil will see his shadow upon arising
from his burrow according to Old
Pennsylvania Dutch Superstition if he
does it means six more weeks of winter
if not it's said that spring will come
early our meteorologist Allison chinchar
is here for more details and you may
remember Miss Ally always matches her
Graphics or the weather theme of the day
and for this special day she breaks out
her famous punks Satani Phil hat that's
right Koy today is the day the famous
punks Satani Phil will make his
predictions for whether or not we will
have six more weeks of winter or perhaps
an early spring now in the past he has
had a wide variety of predictions but
here's the thing he has seen his shadow
way more times than he has not you're
talking over a hundred times he has seen
his shadow just since 1887 about a fifth
of that he has not seen his shadow
meaning we would have an early spring
but the real question is is he accurate
is he even right when he makes these
predictions technically speaking
statistically Phil is only right about
40% of the time so not exactly a great
forecaster but the good news is
regardless of what Phil actually picks
if you don't like it chances are there's
another groundhog across the country
somewhere that will give you the
prediction you do want to hear including
some pretty colorful names like General
board Lee in Georgia Staten Island Chuck
in New York Illinois Wisconsin and Ohio
also have some very interesting name
groundhogs which will also make their
predictions later today thank you Ally
