Hello everyone. Happy Friday Eve. I'm
Coy Wire here with your news for
Thursday, September 18th. Let's get
fueled up on some knowledge and
information so we can be a little better
today than we were yesterday. We begin
in the United Kingdom where an historic
state visit by US President Donald Trump
and First Lady Melania Trump is
underway. A state visit is a formal
invitation by the leader of one country
to another. This invitation came from
King Charles III who along with wife
Queen Camila gave the couple a royal
welcome to Windsor Castle ahead of a day
full of pop and pageantry. President
Trump's first state visit across the
pond came in 2019 during his previous
term when he met with the late longtime
monarch Queen Elizabeth II who died in
2022. The visit prompted a massive
security operation around the royal
residence as demonstrators took to the
streets in protest. The US president's
presence is bringing mixed reactions
from residents. CNN caught up with some
Brits who turned out to catch a glimpse
of the action.
I'm here because I'm a full supporter of
Trump and the free speech movement. Um,
I think we need Trump. If it wasn't for
Trump winning, then the whole world,
Western world would be in an utter
state. I think he's against women. I
think his policies are dangerous
globally from a financial point of view.
Charlie shouldn't have agreed to it.
>> This state visit is important for
historical reasons. It's also important
for political reasons. So on the basis
of that absolutely fine.
>> The president will also meet with
British Prime Minister Kier Starmer who
handd delivered King Charles invitation
to President Trump back in February
during an oval office visit. The two are
slated to discuss US British trade
relations, a nuclear energy deal, and
Russia's war in Ukraine. If you're
interested in learning more about the
British government and the royal family,
be sure to check out our full 10-minute
episode that aired last month, the role
of the monarchy, the role of the crown.
You can find it on our YouTube channel
or cnn10.com.
This next story is for all of us
American history buffs. The US National
Archives is celebrating 250 years of
America's freedom this week, honoring
the signing of our Constitution. And for
the first time, the entire historical
document will be on display at the US
capital, including the original Bill of
Rights and more than a dozen amendments.
The exhibition also features something
quite rare, the fifth page signed by
George Washington, which instructed
states on how to implement the
Constitution, and the 13th Amendment,
which abolished slavery. The historic
documents will be on display in the
capital rotunda until October 1st. Could
the poster child of extinct animals, the
dodo bird, make a comeback? It once
roamed the island of Maitius before
dying out about 400 years ago. But a
team of researchers at Colossal
Biosciences says they're now one step
closer to possibly resurrecting the
feathered flightless giant. They say
they've successfully cultured
specialized cells from a pigeon, a
distant relative. It's a significant
step in their bid to bring back the
bygon bird. They also want to bring back
woolly mammoths, Tasmanian tigers, and
direwolves. Critics argue the Jurassic
Park style endeavor creates a slew of
ethical and moral issues, including
concerns over the potential impact
extinct species could have on modern
ecosystems. One California community is
on the fast track to cleaner commuting
thanks to an epically efficient
locomotive. The hybrid hauler, known as
Zemu, is the first self-propelled zero
emission passenger train in the US. It
runs on nothing but hydrogen fuel cells
and battery power, and it emits only
water vapor. Despite its unmistakable
blue paint job, the eco-friendly iron
horse is the greenest ride on rails.
Engineers say during testing, it set a
world record by traveling 46 hours on
one fueling. Zemu's $20 million price
tag is double its gas-powered
counterparts. Officials say giving the
community a chance to choo choo choose a
cleaner commute is worth it.
>> It is more expensive to be first, but in
this county it was important that we
look for clean solutions and so we
thought the investment was was
important. Quality of life as aspects
for people who who live here in San
Frernardino County, especially those who
live near the corridor that it runs
upon.
>> Pop quiz hot shot. What instrument is
Louis Armstrong most famous for playing?
Saxophone, trumpet, piano, or trombone?
>> If you said trumpet, you are golden.
Armstrong was born in New Orleans and is
also credited with popularizing scat
singing, which improvises melodies using
nonsense syllables instead of actual
words. Louisie Armstrong, also known as
Satchmo, was one of the biggest pioneers
in jazz. The storied musical genre
originated in New Orleans more than a
century ago, and its ever evolving
legacy is a big part of the cultural
fabric of America. Armstrong once
famously quipped, "If you have to ask
what jazz is, you'll never know." Now,
one organization in New Jersey is using
the transcendent power of jazz to
transform the lives of a new generation
of students, one note at a time. Two,
ready, go.
>> Growing up was tough.
Music was really like the main thing
that helped me.
>> Music can allow you to feel things.
>> I was one of those students that really
needed Jazz House to give them a future.
>> Jazz was the one place in society where
I was celebrated for being Indian.
[Music]
When you come to the Jazz House, you see
who matters most, everyone.
Melissa Walker founded Jazz House Kids
back in 2002 to try to bridge the gap in
music education. Over 50% of the young
people here, their families need some
level of support. And for us, it's
making sure kids have an instrument,
they have a bus, they have tuition
assistance.
Part of our mission
is to make sure that those doors are
swinging wide open.
>> Hi,
>> can we visit you? Can I hear a little
bit of it? We allow far too many young
people
to not have access to the very things
that would unlock their greatness. My
greatest reward is seeing lives changed
and transformed.
[Music]
Playing the saxophone
has helped me in real life, with school,
with friends.
>> I think people just need that one person
to like believe in them and push you
forward.
>> I was able to, you know, have direction
and make it to college.
>> Jazz just improves and boosts their
achievement. You have to have that
focus, set goals, uh, manage your time,
be able to make realtime life decisions.
The intergenerational
>> communication that jazz provides is
stunning.
>> I always think of jazz as the only place
where you can get an 8-year-old and an
oxygenarian on the stage together doing
something productive. The guiding
principle here at Jazz House is to be
the best you that you can be. And if we
can do that and do it together, which is
what you do on the band stand.
>> You're now watching Democracy in Action.
[Music]
>> Wow. Great job.
[Applause]
>> Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. a
tail wagging rescue of a 14-year-old.
Meet Cody, who was skateboarding around
his hometown in Missouri when he
accidentally fell 240 ft into a ravine.
When he never came home, his parents
alerted authorities and volunteers
searched for the missing teen for nearly
80 hours. But then, a brave blood hound
stepped on the scene. A canine hero
named Daryl. The six-year-old blood
hound was given a pair of Cody shoes.
With just a sniff of those shoes, the
sensational Daryl tracked him down in
less than 20 minutes.
>> 20 minutes on a three-day old track.
That's almost like unheard of. Um,
>> as a a parent myself and 14-year-old,
um,
>> sorry, a little emotional. So, this was
best case scenario because he was found
still alive.
>> I had put all my faith knowing that
Daryl was going to find Cody.
>> Thank you.
>> Thanks, Bubbles. Cody spent a month in
the hospital dealing with the injuries,
but now he's back at school feeling
pretty dogone grateful. All right, we
have some Thursday thank yous. Shout out
to Mr. Marcini and all of our friends at
Eastern York Middle School in
Writesville, Pennsylvania. Thank you for
all the kind comments on our YouTube
channel and much respect for all you're
doing for your students. And this shout
out goes to Mr. Draper at Yasuhara
Middle School. Yes, in Spokane,
Washington. Thank you for the drawings
and letters. Rise up everyone. Go out,
be kind, give a friend a compliment,
spark some joy. I'm Koi Wire and we are
CNN 10.
