hello and welcome to CNN 10 where I tell
you the what letting you decide what to
think I'm Ki wire happy Friday and I say
what's up sunshine because Sunshine is
the topic of our first story of the day
in just over 2 weeks on Monday April 8th
many of us will witness a Celestial
phenomenon a total solar Eclipse that's
when the moon's Shadow completely blocks
out the Sun not everyone will be able to
see it it depends on where you live but
even if you don't see the total eclipse
you will probably see a partial eclipse
the last time a total solar eclipse
happened in the US was 2017 but back
then only 12 million people lived in the
direct path of the eclipse this time
you've got a much better chance to see
it more than 31 million Americans live
in the so-called path of totality so
it's time to start planning check out
this NASA map are you in the direct path
if you are and you plan on peeking up at
it you'll need to get special eclipse
glasses you can't view the eclipse
without them no normal sunglasses or you
can seriously damage your eyes
potentially permanently now if you're
really hoping to see it don't miss it
because there won't be another total
solar eclipse in the US for another 20
years for more check out this report we
prepped for you earlier this
week a total solar eclipse it happens
when the moon passes between the Earth
and the Sun completely blocking out the
light on April 8th more than 32 million
people across Mexico the United States
and Canada could see the sun completely
darkened by the moon's Shadow and that
moment of total darkness could last more
than 4 minutes in some places it's also
going to be the last one for quite some
time a total solar eclipse won't happen
again in the United States for about
another 20
years location is key the total eclipse
is only visible inside a very narrow
track known as the path of totality it
stretches more than 10 US states from
Texas through Maine and the timing
changes depending on where you are
within that path people outside that
narrow band will still be able to see a
partial solar eclipse that's when the
moon only Blocks part of the Sun's face
that should be visible in all 48
contiguous US states now if you're
planning on peing at a total or partial
eclipse remember to get you some
certified eclipse glasses that regular
sunglasses not strong enough to protect
your eyes otherwise severe eye damage
can occur a solar retina burn can
permanently injure your eyes and you
might not even feel it until it's too
late during the month of March women's
history month we've been highlighting
some seminal women who've transformed
the world in profound ways and sometimes
making a difference can feel like trying
to move a mountain but one climber from
Japan let nothing get in her way not
even the world's tallest mountain junko
tab became the first woman ever to climb
Mount Everest in 1975 she reached the
29,000 ft Summit at age 35 standing at 4
9 in tall this Trek located in the
Himalayan Mountain range on the border
between Nepal and Tibet is notoriously
dangerous adventur stats.com finds that
fewer than 30% of Mount Everest climbers
were successful between the years 1922
and 2006 junko tab not only successfully
scaled Everest she even conquered what's
known as the Seven Summits becoming the
first woman to ascend the highest
mountains on all seven continents even
when she was diagnosed with cancer the
Mountaineer continued to climb taking a
group of high school students up Mount
Fuji when she was in her 70s tab passed
away at the age of 77 at a hospital near
Tokyo in 2016 next up do you see her
she's sitting right up there in the
front that's Katherine Graham as the
leader of the Washington Post through
most of the 1960s and 70s she was used
to operating in a male-dominated world
Graham was one of the first female
Publishers of a US newspaper and the
first ever female CEO of a Fortune 500
company and she was a strong leader she
twice defied warnings from the US
government first publishing the Pentagon
papers which were leaked documents that
exposed the reality of the Vietnam War
later she stood by her famed reporters
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein they
broke the Watergate scandal which led to
the resignation of President Richard
Nixon Fearless bold kathern Graham

years
old Pop Quiz Hot Shot what sport are you
playing if the fly half just fake the
pass to the dummy Runner soccer lacrosse
rugby or
Cricket the fly half in rugby is the
most influential player on the pitch and
usually wears the number 10 did you
[Applause]
know today's story getting a 10 out of
10 a Superstar athlete leaving a sport
in his prime to chase a dream and
Inspire others life is short and
23-year-old Luis ree zamit knows it he's
a rockstar rugby player for Wales and
his Club Gloucester but he's always
dreamed of playing in the NFL so he is
going for it I caught up with Lewis and
he says he has no fear as he pursues his
purpose all right Lewis a lifelong rugby
star you're leaving your sport at the
top of your game what in the world are
you
thinking it's a good question it's a
good question to start you know I fancy
A new challenge and what a better
challenge to to be in the NFL I mean you
know I've been training really hard for
seven eight weeks now and you know I
think I'm in I'm in a good position I
feel smooth I feel comfortable and you
know I'm ready to to show everyone what
I can do tell me about dad I understand
he had a big influence over your
decision to to pursue this new passion
yeah so my dad as a teenager in in the
UK he always played American football it
was pretty tough for him back then to
get over to the states and go to college
and and try and go through that system
so you know I kind of want to continue
his legacy and and go beyond and you
know inspire a lot of people back home
to be able to make this change and you
know have the confidence to do it as
well you get the tough part because I
played defense I got to hit people and T
people you're the one that everyone's
trying to hit and Tackle are you ready
for
this yeah I mean you know in rugby youve
got to do you got to play Both Sides so
I you know I'm used to having to tackle
I'm used to getting hit so um you know I
know special teams are can be massive
for me as well so being able to have the
ability to you know go go downfield on
Punt and and hit someone um but also
play in offense and and be a receiver
you know SL running back would be uh
would be a dream come what type of
advantages do you think you might have
having played and trained for rugby
being able to you know identify spaces
in defense um you know there's obviously
14 players in the line and then one in
behind in rugby so being able to you
know maneuver myself in between
Defenders you know see holes see gaps
and then ultimately when I get the ball
out wide have a one-on-one and and be
able to finish and that was my I'd say
that was the best my best attribute on
reg being able to finish and yeah I'm
excited to bring all my attributes into
the ANF it's not about a location it's
not about the money I think it's about
having a plan for me um you know I want
to be on a team that that has a plan and
um you know I I know they know we go
through a a good plan that that knows
where I'm going to go in the future and
um you know I'm just excited to to be
able to show to show people on the 20th
what what I can do and um you know
hopefully I can get teams teams
interested I did read that you're a fan
of warm weather so for you I shall hope
that you don't go to Green Bay or
Buffalo
I mean I I I'll take I'll take a lot of
places so um yeah I I'm I'm just excited
for this journey and see what happens we
hope any of you out there who are
looking up at that Mountaintop wondering
if you'll ever get there or if you
should even try that Lewis's Journey
might inspire you to go for it all right
