hello and welcome to CNN 10 I'm Koy wire
it's Friday best day of the week the
weekend is upon us but let's lock in get
a little smarter and wiser and have a
little fun while we finish this week's
strong we start in the Amazon where
Brazil is experiencing its worst drought
on record it's so severe that these
folks here are walking on what should
have been a river this major tributary
of the Amazon the Madera river is
experiencing historically low water
levels the drying waterways in the
mighty Amazon have left boats stranded
cutting off food and water supplies to
communities who rely on the river to
survive the drought could also impact
soy and corn shipments driving up prices
for everyone the Water Crisis is
expected to worsen as the water levels
are forecast to keep dropping the
climate phenomenon laia usually brings
wetter weather to Brazil but the weather
pattern is coming later than forecast
this year with rain not expected for
weeks or months the record drought is
upending the lives of hundreds of
thousands of people while it damages the
jungle ecosystem an incredible feet high
above the earth a four-person civilian
crew completed the world's first
commercial spacewalk all of the crew
members were exposed to the vacuum of
space but two remained inside the
vehicle while billionaire Tech CEO Jared
isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah
Gillis exited the capsule check out the
beautiful view while spacewalks have
been carried out by NASA since the 1960s
the Polaris Dawn private SpaceX Mission
took a major step forward for
commercializing these capabilities
aiming to make space walks a task that
can be carried out by private companies
not just government astronauts with The
Space Walk complete the crew will spend
another couple days in orbit checking
off other Mission goals and conducting a
bunch of experiments but that spacewalk
took up lots of the life support oxygen
they had on board and they have a
limited amount of time left before the
spacewalk has to return home most likely
over the weekend I was uh really holding
my breath at two different moments um
one was as the pressure was dropping in
the cabin that's the first time they've
ever let all the air out of of these
SpaceX ships and see if everything still
works you know imagine if in your studio
if suddenly there was Zero air pressure
would all the computers keep working you
know how would everything function so
that was a big step but the second one
was when Jared reached up and I don't
know if you watch it or not but was
jiggling and open that hatch because if
that hatch doesn't close again properly
then there's no way to get air back into
the cabin they'd have to do an emergency
deorbit back to Earth with everybody
still in their big pressurized suits so
I was you know amongst everything else I
was really pleased to see both those
things work perfectly have the crew
safely back inside and maybe most
importantly we have now a proven new
space walking suit it's been a long time
since we had a new one and that's great
for the World 10sec trivia between 1974
and 2011 the NFL moved the kickoff line
three times which NFL committee voted on
the changes rules committee competition
committee executive committee or medical
committee ding ding ding competition
committee as your answer here it reviews
the competitive aspects of the game
including
Rules Football is back and there's a
whole new look in the NFL this year
regarding the kickoff I played nine
years in the NFL let me tell you kickoff
was one of the most violent plays I have
a titanium plate and four screws on my
neck to prove it but the new Dynamic
kickoff in the NFL is aimed at making
the game safer by having players line up
just 5 yards apart and the NFL isn't the
only League making changes to kickoff
rules in hopes of making the game safer
our sanj Gupta has more including one
school that made a drastic change to
that phase of the
game it's space and speed so if you
think about where we're standing here
you've got players that are lined up in
this case maybe 50 60 yards away from
where we are they're running down the
field as fast as they can possibly run
so coming down the field at speed and
then having collisions obviously is is a
is a driver for injury the NFL says last
season concussions occurred four times
more often on a kickoff than any other
play it's exactly why Riverdale Country
School in the Bronx wants to change the
game I sort of jokingly said to him like
I want to change football in America
like we need to figure this out want to
change football in America it's pretty
audacious yeah I don't know if I
actually realized what I was saying at
the time John pizzy is the school's
athletic director yes so in 2018 we had
18 players left for the last game of our
season we had a bunch of concussions and
a bunch of season ending injuries so we
made a decision to cancel our last game
but when that season ended we had to
figure out how we were going to manage
the next football season so together
with the concussion Legacy Foundation
they proposed something pretty radical
getting rid of the Sport's most iconic
play no more kickoffs no more Returns
the beginning of their games now look
like this play just starts at the 35 yd
line and so far pizzy says they've seen
a 33% decrease in concussions across the
league and importantly an 18% increase
in
participation parents certainly like the
idea and it turns out so do the players
like team C Captain Tristan Cornell I've
talked to people when I tell them that
my school doesn't do kickoffs they
they're like oh my gosh that's the one
of the biggest parts of the game how can
you not do that but then I see all these
injuries that happen from kickoffs so
the fact that we don't have that
probably allows us to keep healthy and
play throughout the entire season but
the NFL's chief medical officer Dr Allan
Sills says the league is not yet ready
to give up on the kickoff altogether all
options are on the table I mean I think
that certainly eliminating the play is
one of those options but but I believe
there are potentially other Solutions
and I think that's our challenge is is
can we understand what's driving injury
and and again preserve the elements of
the game so this year in the NFL you're
going to see a very different sort of
kickoff what they're calling a dynamic
kickoff now again previously as soon as
the ball was kicked all 11 members of
the kicking team would start sprinting
down the field to try and tackle the
receiving team lots of speed
lots of space this season only the
kicker is back here while the opposing
teams are lined up all the way over here
separated by just five yards and none of
those players can move until the ball
has been caught by the receiving team or
it hits the ground it reduces the speed
and the space of the
play it's what competition committee
co-chairman Rich McKay says is one of
the biggest rule changes in 30 years the
problem is is is we're trying to not
just make this game better next year
we're trying to keep the game going for
10 20 30 40 that's what our Legacy is
supposed to be and so you've got to look
at health and safety and make sure that
the numbers when they tell you something
you do
[Applause]
something today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 how about some digital drip
stretching bending folding technology
that can make your clothes be like a
chameleon the LG and Korean designers
debuted these Innovative customizable
display panels on the runways at South
Korean Fashion Week the amazing new tech
is still in the concept phase but as
Engineers work to make it more durable
and resilient to Everyday wear we could
one day be seeing these panels on
everything from hats to handbags maybe
even car Interiors or customizable
moving tattoos is this Riz or is this
just wrong if I could rock that Tech
today I'd probably wear something that
said yo Thunderbolts Thunder Ridge
Middle in Aurora Colorado we see you
thank you for subscribing and commenting
on our CNN 10 YouTube channel hope y'all
feel proud of the work we put in this
