hello and welcome to CNN 10 I'm your
host Coy wire hope you had an awesome
weekend complacency is the constant
enemy so let's learn one thing let's do
something today that makes us a little
better today than we were yesterday now
we do start with some tough news today
deadly storms are sweeping across the
United States this is video of hail the
size of a baseball falling in Kansas
this past week it's part of an intense
storm that impacted Millions across the
country states throughout the West
Southeast and Northeast were on alert
for large hail damaging winds heavy
rainfall and tornadoes several tornadoes
touched down in the states of Indiana
and Ohio at least three people died
dozens more were injured as thousands
went without power as many residents had
their homes and businesses destroyed by
the tornadoes in Selma Indiana a town of
roughly 700 people about half of the
buildings appear to be damaged from the
intense storm major snowstorms rocked
parts of the nation as well nearly 4
feet of snow blanketed parts of Colorado
last week shutting down roads schools
and businesses the first day of spring
is tomorrow but it looks like mother
nature is putting warmer temperatures
off a bit longer as temperatures are
expected to be at or below freezing this
week Across the Nation impacting more
more than half of the US population
let's head to Thailand now where air
pollution and smog have brought many
concerns to the Southeast Asian country
Thailand's popular tourist location in
the north called Chang maai had the
dubious distinction as one of the
world's most polluted cities that was
according to IQ air which is a company
that monitors air quality besides
covering the beautiful visuals in this
area it's also causing health issues our
Michael Holmes has
more not the view some tourists had
hoped for a thick layer of smog covering
the city of changai in Thailand on a
clear day this Overlook is usually a
popular photo stop but Haze is once
again obscuring the view perhaps not
surprising since changai ranks as one of
the world's most polluted cities
according to iqair a website that
monitors air quality but the smog isn't
just unsightly it's unhealthy iqa says
the level of cancer are causing
pollutants in changm air is more than 20
times higher than World Health
Organization guidelines and people are
getting sick from it a Thai government
report says more than 10 million people
required treatment for pollution related
illnesses last year with many people
wearing masks to protect
themselves on the day that I don't wear
a face mask I'm exposed to pollution
then I would come home with an allergic
rash on my arm I can't breathe I have a
stuffed nose in Northern Thailand High
pollution levels are common during the
early months of the year when Farmers
burn crops to clear the
fields but this year the government says
it's taking steps to curb the problem
legislation for a Clean Air Act is
underway and Thailand's prime minister
says he'll impose regulations on crop
burning but didn't give further
details 10c trivia when was the launch
of the Voyager 1 spacecraft 196 4 1972
77 or
888 on September 5th of 1977 Voyager 1
launched from Cape canaval Florida it
has explored Jupiter Saturn Uranus and
Neptune most of us keep in touch with
people who are far away via text message
phone call maybe a letter but what do
you do when you're trying to send or
receive messages really far away like
billions of miles up in a spacecraft and
outer space far away that's exactly what
NASA Engineers are dealing with with the
world's farthest traveling spacecraft
Voyager 1 it's one of the twin probes
that's been exploring our Solar System
since
1977 even though it was only Built to
Last 5 Years Engineers are in
communication Voyager 1 sends a steady
radio signal back to Mission Control but
since November the probe's flight data
system has been acting a bit wonky it
can complete given commands but
important data has not been transmitting
back to Earth so what did Mission
Control do well they poked it they sent
what they call a poke on March 1st a
command prompting Voyager to run
different software in case there's been
a glitch two days later Voyager one sent
back an unusually formatted response
decoded by a member of NASA's deep space
Network to show it was the system's own
coding the team will compare and
contrast this new report to data from
the spacecraft before the problem arose
and try to sus out what exactly is
happening on the spacecraft about 15
billion miles away question for you how
would you feel about going to a school
where they don't allow any smartphones
on campus maybe that's already the case
for some of you but if not how would you
feel about being away from your phone
for eight hours or so each day if you
like the idea why if not what would be
your reasoning for the objection our CNN
digital team went to one small High
School in Massachusetts where they don't
allow smartphones so we could learn why
the school did it and what the outcome
has been buckon School a small private
boarding school for grades 9 to 12 in
Massachusetts banned smartphones on
campus back in
2022 it was absolute chaos oh boy people
thought it was a joke at first and they
were not happy parents were calling us
there was a lot of like I can't live
without my phone students tell CNN that
they know this place is special buckton
isn't like many other schools it's home
to only 55 students many living
full-time on campus away from their
families making this a tight-knit
community plus the school practices
Progressive education that means
teachers don't track test schooles or
grades but just like more traditional
high schools teachers at buckton were
struggling to hold students attention
kids were glued to their screens it was
a lot of little things right it's that
when you're teaching a lesson and you
can tell that half the class is like
discreetly looking under their desk at
something it's walking into a lunchroom
and seeing half the lunchroom scrolling
on Tik toks instead of talking to their
friends it's walking down the path
everyone is looking down everyone's not
looking up that is until Administration
banned smartphones on campus about a
year and a half ago I've been more
social like naturally instead of being
like forced to be social people were
more there at the meals I mean I was
sitting with people I didn't sit with
before with new groups of people and
talking to all these new people this is
from earlier and like Iris Drew this
part without seeing any of this and then
Jasper Drew this part and then we open
it up and see like what we made all
together last night we had a dorm party
we have a black and white photography
program here that photo program went
from 12 students to 35 students cuz now
everyone's carrying a 35mm camera and
printing in the dark room the initial
idea of no phones felt a lot more
intense than actually not having phones
it was more like no access to social
media all the time in your pocket most
of the students CNN interviewed welcomed
the change of pace brought on by the
smartphone ban but the jur still out for
some I sort of have the opinion that it
was not a good idea to ban phones if you
don't get practice with phones they are
designed to be so addictive they're not
getting practice using their phones
while going to school and stuff like
that I we still have iPads we still have
computers people can have flip phones
like a lot I think a lot of people are
like the world is going to end I don't
know how I'm going to survive without my
phone and I think as time goes on people
have adapted to like using a computer
like I've I've sent a lot more emails
since I kind better emailing I feel like
there's this pressure to have a presence
online and to be active with your
presence online do all this stuff online
and after not having a phone and not
being able to keep up with that always I
find that that's not needed phones are
overrated
[Applause]
definitely today's story getting a 10
out of 10 unbelievable scenes as two of
the top tennis stars in the world
battled it out at Indian Welles Carlos
alarz and Alex verev were playing for a
spot in the semi finals and they're
swarmed by what seems like a bazillion
bees an estimated 3500 of them them as
you can see from this clip from ATP
media the players made a beline off the
court but how would they get rid of them
honey is possible they called a
beekeeper named Lance Davis who
instantly became an internet star he
vacuumed up all the bees into a cage and
transported them to one of his personal
hives after an hour and 40 minute delay
play be zoomed alarz won not all heroes
wear capes time for me to be on my way
and buzz off but before I do we're
sending our swarm us wishes too
