what's up sunshine I'm Coy wire this is
CNN 10 the best 10 minutes in news
because of you hope you're feeling good
feeling great we start
today happy April fools Keep Your Head
on a swivel because there are pranksters
on the prow for the annual April 1
custom consisting of practical jokes and
hoax is No One Is Safe all right let's
do this for real we start today with the
economy there are two main parts of the
economy there's Wall Street or the stock
market and there's Main Street also
called the real economy let's start with
Main Street when you buy groceries or
pay for a new streaming service you are
participating in the real economy these
are the goods and services we buy and
sell every day right now the real
economy the cost of goods and services
well those prices are not so great price
have gone up because of inflation and
inflation is just okay lately not great
not terrible just okay but there are
signs that inflation could get worse
meaning prices could go up and that
leads us to the second part of the
economy Wall Street Wall Street is the
stock market in the stock market you can
buy small parts of companies of course
we know them as shares or stocks most
people buy a share of a company because
they think the company is going to do
well and the value of that share will go
up the stock market is a little more
complicated than that of course but
that's the basic idea Wall Street and
Main Street are often connected if
things aren't going well on Main Street
in the real economy then investors on
Wall Street sell their shares because
they think maybe the value of the stocks
they own are likely to go down because
companies might struggle our Matt Egan
breaks down some of the latest economic
numbers that show us where Wall Street
and Main Street may be
headed the latest slew of economic IND
ators did not paint a very inspiring
picture about how the US economy is
holding up amid all of this turbulence
out of Washington and these new economic
numbers did not sit well with investors
on Wall Street with us stocks
experiencing another bout of turbulence
ahead of next week's significant
announcements on tariffs so let me run
you through some of the key findings
from today's economic reports first uh
the fed's goto inflation metric found
that Americans are saving more and
they're spending next ahead of tariffs
and this report also suggested that
inflation's kind of stuck in this no
man's land right not as bad as a few
years ago but also not great um core
inflation which ex which excludes food
and energy it heated up in February
that's significant because economists
say that core inflation is a better
indicator of underlying pricing
pressures and keep in mind these are
numbers for February so they don't fully
capture the elephant in the room the
trade board right this is price changes
before much of the tariffs including the
tariffs on steel in aluminum the tariffs
on Canada and Mexico and some of the
tariffs on China for all of that even
kicked in and we know the cost of living
of course is a major concern right now
and so there was another disappointing
confidence report out this is from the
University of Michigan and not only did
it find that consumer sentiment fell
sharply in March but some of the
underlying indicators here were also
concerning uh consumers outlook for the
future fell significantly 23s of
consumers are now expecting unemployment
to increase that's the most since the
Great Recession and consumer
expectations around inflation price
increases they heated up to the highest
level since
1993 Market veteran art Hogan he told me
he's not shocked to see consumers
expecting higher inflation this is the
worst trade War since William McKinley
was in the White House this finding from
University of Michigan was striking they
said that this month's decline reflects
a clear consensus across all
demographics and political affiliations
Republicans joined Independents and
Democrats in expressing worsening
expectations since February for their
personal finances business conditions
unemployment and inflation I think the
growing concern on Wall Street is that
weak consumer confidence will eventually
cause people to kind of hunker down and
spend less money and of course that's
where the real trouble would come for an
economy that is really built on consumer
spending Pop Quiz hot shot when was the
first drone ever flown 1899 1917 1948 or
2001 if you said 1917 you're so money
that's when the first vehicle without a
pilot flew a small radio operated
aircraft called the aerial Target was
tested by the British during the first
world war in Germany a company has
mashed up two kinds of Technologies
drones and artificial intelligence to
try to solve a very in issue for many
communities around the world our Nick
Valencia has more over the past two
decades extreme wildfires have become
more frequent more intense and larger
according to NASA now a wildfire
detection company in Germany is
developing a drone that uses artificial
intelligence to help firefighters
suppress wildfires in their early
stages this week dryad successfully
demonstrated its first fully functional
prototype called Silver guard the Drone
system detected a controlled Fire's
location and size using AI it provides
Ultra early detection of wildfires
within minutes from ignition using AI
driven uh sensors that are electronic
noses and they can detect fires much
faster than cameras or
satellites the idea is to allow
firefighters to respond before flame
spread the Drone can capture infrared
imagery and provide an overhead view for
firefighters the importance uh of silver
guard is that it is the first autonomous
uh endtoend system that detects fires
using artificial intelligence and then
uses autonomous drones uh to fly to the
location of a fire without a pilot being
involved and delivering precise
information about the size and threat of
a fire dryads new technology if used
widely could also have an impact on
carbon emissions from 2001 to 2023
wildfire has caused a loss of more than
138 million hectares of tree cover
worldwide according to Global Forest
watch that's larger than the country of
Peru researchers found that carbon
emissions from forest fires increased by
60% globally during that time dryad
hopes its efforts will help prevent 1.1
billion metric tons of CO2 emissions by
2030 the European Union is co-funding
the silver guard project with 3.8
million EUR or 4. .1
million the Project's Next Step will be
to add fire suppression capabilities and
eventually real world deployment what we
actually need to achieve is we need to
detect and extinguish fires within 10
minutes from ignition that's our mission
that's our vision and silver guard
demonstrated here today is a big
milestone towards that
Vision today's store getting a 10 out of
10 buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks
baseball is back and MLB teams are
busting out all sorts of egregious gut
busting grub in an attempt to Dazzle
fans the Yankees have this tiam misu

now the white socks they're breaking out
the Unicorn a batter dipped corn dog
marshmallow based drizzled with sweet
condensed milk and Fruity Pebbles on top
do you love it or do you Lo it basically
cereal on a corn dog not sure how I feel
about that now white socks fans they're
hoping to turn their fortunes around
because last season they posted the
worst season in MLB history and some say
they found a solution a Little Help from
the great
beyond crusty old baseball suen Chicago
White Socks fans think may be
responsible for a historic historically
Bad season the team claimed a heinous
121 losses last year earning them the
nickname the stinky socks a phrase
coined by well me right now but socks
die hards say the losses started around
the time this World Series Baseball from
1919 found hidden in Chicago's Tribune
building was moved to a sports museum an
outcry from fans both superstitious and
or even a little stitious resulted in
the ball being moved back to the Tribune
building in an attempt to break the
so-called curse and clear the way for
high scores Galore yeah that ought to do
it I'm not superstitious either Jeremy
raw just a little bit stitious thank you
sir all right it is time for our shout
out of the day and this one goes to
Mayfair labatory School in Baton Rouge
Louisiana Home of the Tigers I see you
big cats rise up today's a beautiful day
if we make it that way sending you'all
