hello everyone I'm KY wire this is cnn1
happy to be back with you today I had a
stellar trip to Los Angeles to interview
Simone bil and her teammate Jordan
Charles and they were very happy to hear
some of our viewer questions we'll be
bringing that to you tomorrow for today
though let's get this show on the road
we begin in Washington DC where a major
deadline is looming over the US Congress
legislators in both houses need to pass
a spending bill by September 30th in
order to avoid a government shutdown the
US Constitution requires the government
to only spend money appropriated meaning
set aside for a specific use by Congress
the spending bills need to be passed by
next Monday since the government's new
funding year begins on October 1st if
Congress doesn't appropriate the money
in time a shutdown happens and federal
agencies cease all non-essential
functions the impact is huge millions of
federal workers and military personnel
might have to work without pay prior
shutdowns have also forced some national
parks and monuments to close temporarily
caused flight delays and threatened
nutrition assistance to low-income
Americans how speaker Mike Johnson
unveiled a spending bill over the
weekend to try to avoid this it's a
temporary solution that would fund the
government until December 20th not for
the full year that stop Gap measure will
start making its way through both
chambers of Congress this week
government shutdowns have happened
before under both Democratic and
Republican administrations and with only
a week to get members of Congress on
board with the temporary plan some
agencies are already preparing for a
shutdown just in case next we head to
Japan where a coastal region that was
devastated by an earthquake in January
AR has now been hit by treacherous
flooding and landslides to all of our
viewers there we hope you and your loved
ones are safe torrential downpours
caused over a dozen rivers in the area
to breach their banks in what officials
call the heaviest rainfall there on
record sadly several people are missing
and at least six people have been killed
CNN's Hano Montgomery has more this
region was devastated by a massive
earthquake on January 1st a horrible
start to the new year and now it's
reeling from what the Japanese weather
agency said is the heaviest rainfall
that it's ever seen if you take a look
at some of these videos you can see
entire roads and rivers have completely
flooded people are waiting through these
flooded homes and businesses in just
waste deep water and if you take a look
at some of these homes they're actually
temporary shelters that people evacuated
to after that deadly January 1st
earthquake that killed hundreds here's
what one resident had to say about about
the double
disaster the earthquake occurred on
January 1st and again the city became
like a scene out of a movie in
September I cannot help thinking the
Noto region might be cursed or something
I'm shocked that so many unbelievable
things happened in one year people are
exhausted they've spent the past few
months trying to reconstruct and rebuild
this region and now some of them are
having to start all over again now
according to local government officials
part of the destruction that we've seen
from these floods could have been
exacerbated by the damage caused from
that earthquake earlier this year in
particular because of the damage caused
to embankments and revent now according
to the Japanese government they've
dispatched members of the self-defense
force uh the police force and also
firefighters to try to rescue any
remaining survivors they're also there
to assess the exact extent of the damage
caused next up let's talk about the
science of crime fighting from Sherlock
Holmes to Nancy Drew famous detectives
have used fingerprints as Clues to track
down criminals for decades right well
now a new nanoparticle powder has been
developed and it makes fingerprints even
easier to detect CNN's Anna Stewart has
more young PhD student Nick Ross is
examining a breakthrough in forensic
science one that could solve some of the
oldest crimes and bring what was once
invisible to the surface
so what we've done what we've aimed to
do uh is create a new powder for
developing fingerprints powders are the
most widely used most successful method
for developing fingerprints but they
have lots of issues already and there
there's always room for improvement the
powder dusting method to identify
fingerprints has been utilized since the
19th century but even as the most widely
used method of developing prints there's
only so much this earlier technique can
detect what we're hoping is that will'll
be able to get fingerprints that current
powders can't get we should be able to
get fingerprints that maybe someone's
washed their hands more recently and
they've touched something but they've
left residue behind but we're going to
be able to get that using a more
sensitive powder Ross along with other
experts created this luminous substance
made from tiny particles of matter and a
sugar found on the exterior of shellfish
made of natural oils and sweat
fingerprints can sometimes evaporate but
the smaller particles and fluorescence
in this new powder can light up much
smaller details this image is
particularly nice because the
fingerprint is so uh different to the
bank note itself it's so clear the
fluoresence of the particles are so
strong that there's no chance you
mistake the detail for the bank note um
there's even as you can see a
fluorescent detail in the background but
that fluorescent detail is not strong
enough to contrast um with the
fingerprint that's been enhanced for now
experts can detect prints up to a month
after it's been deposited so could we go
back and visit cold cases I would be
reasonably optimistic about this because
there will inevitably be some residue
left perhaps not very much but we don't
need very
much you just saw how scientific
advances are making fingerprints easier
to detect while technology is also
making it easier to observe microscopic
images and capture them on video check
it out this video illustrating how
fruitfly embryos form one first place in
the Nikon small world in motion
competition in order to capture the
video zoologist Dr Bruno velutini used a
technique called light sheet microscopy
which allows scientists to record video
of a live organism under the microscope
the Nikon small world in motion
competition Blends Art and Science by
showcasing scientific and technological
advances through videos and time-lapse
photos all taken under the microscope
submissions this year included water
droplets evaporating from the wings of a
butterfly a cell in the spinal cord of a
zebra fish and other beautiful
scientific
imagery Pop Quiz Hot Shot the original
set of emoji created in 1999 are all
permanently kept Weare Samsung
headquarters Museum of Modern Art
Japan's Parliament or Tokyo National
Museum
ding ding ding answer is the Museum of
Modern Art or Moma in New York in 2016
it acquired the original 176 emojis made
for cell phones and pagers back in the
'90s for its permanent collection for
those of us who like to use emojis we're
about to have some more options eight of
them coming soon to a phone near you we
have an exhausted face a purple splatter
some root veggie a leafless tree a harp
a shovel a fingerprint all of these were
approved by a nonprofit organization
called the Unicode Consortium who not
only approve Emoji but all characters
used in software around the world will
see these rolled out in the next few
months which one's your
[Applause]
favorite today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 W don't you hear this meet pesto a
9-month-old baby penguin that is
ginormous and becoming a social media
sensation he's already bigger than both
of his parents pesto is 3 feet tall and
weighs a whopping 50 lbs no ice cap and
get this he eats twice as many fish the
average adult penguin eats pesto might
shrink down some when he sheds his
fluffy brown baby feathers for the more
classic black and white tuxedo look but
his keepers at Sea Life Melbourne
aquarium in Australia say he'll always
be a big boy all right everyone remember
tomorrow is #y your word Wednesday your
word can make it in the show and boost
our vocabulary so put your unique vocab
word and definition in the comment
section of my most recent post @ Coy
wire on Instagram Snapchat Twitter and
we're going to pick a winner for
tomorrow's show our shout out today is
going to all of my Badgers at ribau
Middle School in St Joseph Missouri rise
up have an awesome one everyone I'll see
you right back here tomorrow on CNN
