WEBVTT 00:11.440 --> 00:13.440 Hello sunshine. Welcome to the show. I'm 00:13.440 --> 00:15.440 Ky Wire bringing you your 10 minutes of 00:15.440 --> 00:17.760 news right here on CNN 10. We've got a 00:17.760 --> 00:20.080 big show. We have a blind person running 00:20.080 --> 00:22.320 a marathon, a jet skier in a shark 00:22.320 --> 00:25.119 feeding frenzy, MLB news, and a baby 00:25.119 --> 00:27.760 elephant. We will start though with news 00:27.760 --> 00:29.519 of a potential merger that could change 00:29.519 --> 00:32.399 the face of the air travel industry. The 00:32.399 --> 00:34.480 proposed deal would combine two of the 00:34.480 --> 00:36.800 largest airlines in the world, United 00:36.800 --> 00:39.600 and American, into one company. Such a 00:39.600 --> 00:41.680 merger would control roughly 40% of 00:41.680 --> 00:44.079 flights based in the US. According to 00:44.079 --> 00:46.640 multiple sources, United Airlines CEO 00:46.640 --> 00:49.200 Scott Kirby pitched the idea to US 00:49.200 --> 00:51.600 President Donald Trump during a February 00:51.600 --> 00:54.160 White House meeting. United declined to 00:54.160 --> 00:56.879 comment. An American did not respond to 00:56.879 --> 00:59.680 CNN's requests. Such a deal would face 00:59.680 --> 01:02.719 regulatory hurdles due to antirust laws 01:02.719 --> 01:04.960 designed to promote competition and 01:04.960 --> 01:07.520 prevent monopolies. Industry experts and 01:07.520 --> 01:09.760 officials have voiced concern about the 01:09.760 --> 01:12.080 impact a merger like this would have on 01:12.080 --> 01:15.040 rival airlines and on travelers wallets. 01:15.040 --> 01:17.040 >> Uh we've seen a lot of consolidation in 01:17.040 --> 01:19.520 the industry and in general, you know, 01:19.520 --> 01:22.640 less choice for consumers. uh what we've 01:22.640 --> 01:24.560 seen with the US airlines is you know 01:24.560 --> 01:26.400 increase in fairs but also devaluation 01:26.400 --> 01:28.479 in loyalty programs. You know American 01:28.479 --> 01:29.680 and United have two of the biggest 01:29.680 --> 01:31.759 loyalty programs. So combining them into 01:31.759 --> 01:34.000 one does not mean more value for the 01:34.000 --> 01:36.880 consumers. Uh so overall this would be 01:36.880 --> 01:39.360 awful for consumers. All airline 01:39.360 --> 01:41.360 companies profits are currently being 01:41.360 --> 01:43.759 impacted by rising fuel prices caused by 01:43.759 --> 01:45.840 the US and Israel's ongoing war with 01:45.840 --> 01:48.479 Iran. United has scaled back flights in 01:48.479 --> 01:50.399 recent weeks, warning that ticket prices 01:50.399 --> 01:53.280 could rise by as much as 20% if oil 01:53.280 --> 01:56.720 costs stay high. 10sec trivia. What is 01:56.720 --> 01:58.719 the oldest zoo in the world still in 01:58.719 --> 02:02.399 operation? San Diego Zoo, ZSL in London, 02:02.399 --> 02:06.840 Shun or the Bronx Zoo? 02:08.640 --> 02:11.200 Zoo get a 10 out of 10 if you say Shun. 02:11.200 --> 02:13.360 The zoo in Vienna, Austria was founded 02:13.360 --> 02:17.840 in 1752 by Emperor Francis I. It started 02:17.840 --> 02:19.520 as a private collection of animals for 02:19.520 --> 02:21.760 the Habsburg monarchy, and some animals 02:21.760 --> 02:23.680 at the zoo are housed in historic 02:23.680 --> 02:26.239 Baroque buildings to this day. There 02:26.239 --> 02:28.959 will soon be a baby elephant for all to 02:28.959 --> 02:31.120 see at the Smithsonian National Zoo in 02:31.120 --> 02:33.840 Washington, DC. Lyn Mai became the first 02:33.840 --> 02:36.720 Asian elephant born there in nearly 25 02:36.720 --> 02:39.120 years. With fewer than 50,000 Asian 02:39.120 --> 02:40.879 elephants left in the world, this is a 02:40.879 --> 02:42.720 major conservation success for the 02:42.720 --> 02:45.040 endangered species. The zoo announced 02:45.040 --> 02:46.640 public viewing is just around the 02:46.640 --> 02:49.440 corner. CNN's Dana Bash has perhaps the 02:49.440 --> 02:51.840 best interview of the year. Come on, 02:51.840 --> 02:53.760 man. Let's go. 02:53.760 --> 02:56.400 >> She's motivated, Lucker. Good girl. Come 02:56.400 --> 02:58.319 on. You going to come through the pool? 02:58.319 --> 03:00.560 You are. 03:00.560 --> 03:03.879 >> Let's go. 03:07.680 --> 03:10.400 That's the sound of a very excited baby 03:10.400 --> 03:12.159 elephant who knows she's about to be 03:12.159 --> 03:15.440 fed. And on this special occasion, I got 03:15.440 --> 03:16.720 to prepare her bottle. 03:16.720 --> 03:18.480 >> So, this is our bottle feeding station 03:18.480 --> 03:19.360 right here. 03:19.360 --> 03:21.200 >> Robbie Clark is in charge of the 03:21.200 --> 03:23.760 elephants at the zoo. He leads the team 03:23.760 --> 03:25.680 caring for baby Lin Mai. 03:25.680 --> 03:28.080 >> So, the first thing we're going to do is 03:28.080 --> 03:30.080 weigh out the water. You're going to 03:30.080 --> 03:32.959 pour in approximately 275 g of the 03:32.959 --> 03:34.959 powder. So, if you could do a really 03:34.959 --> 03:36.080 good whisk of that. 03:36.080 --> 03:38.480 >> Okay. 03:38.480 --> 03:41.120 Just a regular day making baby elephant 03:41.120 --> 03:44.080 formula. No big deal. How many times a 03:44.080 --> 03:45.440 day does she get this? 03:45.440 --> 03:46.640 >> Every 2 hours. 03:46.640 --> 03:47.599 >> Every 2 hours. 03:47.599 --> 03:48.799 >> Every 2 hours. 03:48.799 --> 03:50.319 >> Even through the night. 03:50.319 --> 03:52.959 >> Even through the night. So, our team is 03:52.959 --> 03:54.159 here 24/7. 03:54.159 --> 03:55.760 >> This is truly having a newborn. 03:55.760 --> 03:58.560 >> It is. 03:58.560 --> 04:02.400 >> Let's do it. Sure. She's hungry. You're 04:02.400 --> 04:04.640 just going to place that bottle up over 04:04.640 --> 04:06.560 this so she can drink it. 04:06.560 --> 04:08.239 >> Here you go, sweetie. Here you go. 04:08.239 --> 04:10.000 >> And lift the end of the bottle up. 04:10.000 --> 04:12.080 Fantastic. You can see how fast she 04:12.080 --> 04:12.799 consumes it. 04:12.799 --> 04:13.680 >> It's really fast. 04:13.680 --> 04:14.879 >> You're her best friend in the whole 04:14.879 --> 04:16.079 world right now. 04:16.079 --> 04:18.239 >> I've never had a friend like you. 04:18.239 --> 04:18.880 >> There we go. 04:18.880 --> 04:19.759 >> There we go. 04:19.759 --> 04:21.840 >> It's like you've done this before. 04:21.840 --> 04:23.280 >> I don't have to burp her, do I? 04:23.280 --> 04:25.040 >> No. Luckily, you don't have to. 04:25.040 --> 04:26.960 >> This is one of the coolest things I've 04:26.960 --> 04:28.080 ever done. 04:28.080 --> 04:30.720 >> Hello. This means that she's saying hi. 04:30.720 --> 04:31.040 >> Yeah. Yeah, 04:31.040 --> 04:32.560 >> with her trunk. 04:32.560 --> 04:32.960 >> Oh, 04:32.960 --> 04:35.520 >> so the trunk is her nose and her upper 04:35.520 --> 04:37.600 lip. It's the most important thing in an 04:37.600 --> 04:40.880 elephant's life. They use it to eat, 04:40.880 --> 04:44.320 drink, breathe, bathe, and communicate. 04:44.320 --> 04:45.840 And obviously, she uses it to pick 04:45.840 --> 04:46.639 things up. 04:46.639 --> 04:49.520 >> Hi. Are you playing with me? This is the 04:49.520 --> 04:51.280 cutest thing I've ever seen. 04:51.280 --> 04:53.199 >> There's more muscles and tendons in her 04:53.199 --> 04:54.880 nose than our entire body. 04:54.880 --> 04:55.520 >> Really? 04:55.520 --> 04:57.199 >> And when she's an adult, she'll be able 04:57.199 --> 05:00.479 to pick up 2,000 lbs with that nose. My 05:00.479 --> 05:01.840 >> 2,000 lb. 05:01.840 --> 05:02.320 >> Mhm. 05:02.320 --> 05:04.160 >> She weighs like 400 lb right now. 05:04.160 --> 05:05.199 >> 440. 05:05.199 --> 05:06.880 >> And she's going to get to be 05:06.880 --> 05:08.800 >> as an adult. She'll be close to 8,000 05:08.800 --> 05:09.520 lb. 05:09.520 --> 05:11.039 >> I have to ask you about what happened 05:11.039 --> 05:13.759 with her mom and try to do it without 05:13.759 --> 05:14.320 crying. 05:14.320 --> 05:17.520 >> So her mother, Nin, is a first-time mom. 05:17.520 --> 05:20.320 Uh, and where she came from, uh, she did 05:20.320 --> 05:22.000 not have the opportunity really to grow 05:22.000 --> 05:24.800 up with other young elephants. We kind 05:24.800 --> 05:26.400 of had the contingency that there might 05:26.400 --> 05:28.639 be a chance that she wouldn't be 05:28.639 --> 05:29.919 interested in being a mom. 05:29.919 --> 05:31.199 >> Her mom rejected her. 05:31.199 --> 05:34.240 >> She did, and that's not common among 05:34.240 --> 05:37.199 elephants, but it's not unheard of. And 05:37.199 --> 05:40.080 in fact, Nin's mom rejected her at 05:40.080 --> 05:41.600 first. Over the last couple months, 05:41.600 --> 05:43.520 we've been doing our best to do what we 05:43.520 --> 05:45.600 call howdy by giving them access to each 05:45.600 --> 05:47.759 other through a fence and hoping that 05:47.759 --> 05:50.080 over time that relationship continues to 05:50.080 --> 05:51.600 build. We haven't actually seen the 05:51.600 --> 05:53.520 spark just yet. The whole world fell in 05:53.520 --> 05:54.800 love with Punch the Monkey. 05:54.800 --> 05:56.000 >> Yep. 05:56.000 --> 05:59.600 >> After Punch the Monkeykey's mom rejected 05:59.600 --> 06:01.680 her, 06:01.680 --> 06:04.080 >> I hope that the world falls in love with 06:04.080 --> 06:06.800 her, too. Understanding her story, not 06:06.800 --> 06:09.199 not necessarily feeling bad for her, but 06:09.199 --> 06:12.400 recognizing that nature does have 06:12.400 --> 06:14.880 consequences to it. And one of the 06:14.880 --> 06:16.319 benefits of her being here at the 06:16.319 --> 06:18.960 National Zoo is that we have the 06:18.960 --> 06:22.000 resources and staff expertise to help 06:22.000 --> 06:24.800 her thrive. 06:24.800 --> 06:27.280 >> She has a mother figure, an older member 06:27.280 --> 06:27.919 of the herd, 06:27.919 --> 06:29.840 >> kind of like an adoptive mother. Yeah. 06:29.840 --> 06:30.319 And 06:30.319 --> 06:31.039 >> takes care of her. 06:31.039 --> 06:34.000 >> She is typically with her aunt Sworna. 06:34.000 --> 06:35.840 They're not related, but Swarna was an 06:35.840 --> 06:37.280 elephant in our herd that has 06:37.280 --> 06:40.400 experienced raising elephants uh from a 06:40.400 --> 06:43.199 young age. She has delighted us by 06:43.199 --> 06:45.600 stepping up to the plate uh and taking 06:45.600 --> 06:46.960 on a parenting role. 06:46.960 --> 06:48.639 >> She couldn't have babies. 06:48.639 --> 06:50.560 >> Correct. She's never been able to 06:50.560 --> 06:52.639 >> and yet she has that maternal instinct. 06:52.639 --> 06:52.960 >> Yes. 06:52.960 --> 06:54.400 >> With Lyn Mai. That's amazing. 06:54.400 --> 06:56.319 >> It is amazing. And that's just the 06:56.319 --> 06:58.639 testament of how socially and 06:58.639 --> 07:00.960 biologically complex elephants are. It's 07:00.960 --> 07:03.280 important because they are an endangered 07:03.280 --> 07:05.440 species. If we're not careful, they 07:05.440 --> 07:08.160 could be extinct within our lifetime. 07:08.160 --> 07:10.319 >> All right. Something you have to see. A 07:10.319 --> 07:12.319 man on a jet ski found himself in the 07:12.319 --> 07:15.039 middle of a shark feeding frenzy. Brett 07:15.039 --> 07:17.440 Barley was fishing off a jet ski on 07:17.440 --> 07:19.440 North Carolina's Outer Banks. At first, 07:19.440 --> 07:22.080 he sees a shark, then realizes there is 07:22.080 --> 07:24.960 not just one. 07:24.960 --> 07:28.080 >> What is going on? 07:28.080 --> 07:29.199 Get me out of here. 07:29.199 --> 07:31.199 >> He says they were spinner sharks and 07:31.199 --> 07:33.680 large drum fish feasting on smaller 07:33.680 --> 07:36.400 fish. Brett Barley is a prourfer. He 07:36.400 --> 07:38.319 says he got extra nervous because 07:38.319 --> 07:39.919 spinner sharks have this habit of 07:39.919 --> 07:41.440 flipping out of the water. 07:41.440 --> 07:44.160 >> Like this could get so bad so fast. Cuz 07:44.160 --> 07:46.560 for every, you know, dozen or two dozen 07:46.560 --> 07:48.160 sharks you see on the surface, there's 07:48.160 --> 07:50.880 far more below the surface. Running a 07:50.880 --> 07:53.280 marathon not easy. Next, we have a story 07:53.280 --> 07:55.039 that takes it to a whole different 07:55.039 --> 07:57.520 level. Clark Reynolds is blind and he 07:57.520 --> 07:59.680 just completed his second full marathon 07:59.680 --> 08:01.599 with the help of some revolutionary 08:01.599 --> 08:03.759 tech. He swapped the traditional guide 08:03.759 --> 08:06.639 for a pair of AI powered smart glasses 08:06.639 --> 08:08.960 and way do you see the result. Our 08:08.960 --> 08:11.599 Robbie Hawin has more. This blind man 08:11.599 --> 08:13.599 just ran a marathon without a physical 08:13.599 --> 08:15.759 guide. Instead, he used AI powered 08:15.759 --> 08:17.919 glasses and volunteers who described the 08:17.919 --> 08:20.080 course to him using a video live stream 08:20.080 --> 08:21.440 from his glasses. 08:21.440 --> 08:23.599 >> I've done a marathon untethered, but 08:23.599 --> 08:25.599 I've done I've done the first person 08:25.599 --> 08:29.360 using smart glasses and an app called Be 08:29.360 --> 08:31.520 My Eyes. It's an unofficial uh record. 08:31.520 --> 08:32.800 It would be great if like I had that 08:32.800 --> 08:34.640 certificate, but in my mind it is a 08:34.640 --> 08:35.440 world's first. 08:35.440 --> 08:37.839 >> Clark Reynolds, known as Mr. Dot, ran 08:37.839 --> 08:40.080 the Brighton Marathon in the UK by using 08:40.080 --> 08:42.159 AI powered glasses combined with the 08:42.159 --> 08:43.680 real time assistance app. 08:43.680 --> 08:45.839 >> Once we started, I I said the magic 08:45.839 --> 08:49.440 words, "Hey, Meta uh called Be My Eyes." 08:49.440 --> 08:53.120 And within 10 seconds, I had a volunteer 08:53.120 --> 08:55.040 to support me for the first half hour of 08:55.040 --> 08:56.880 the race. I say without those volunteers 08:56.880 --> 08:58.399 in my ears, I I would have probably 08:58.399 --> 09:00.240 given up around 15 mile marker. 09:00.240 --> 09:02.560 >> This was Mr. Dot's second marathon and 09:02.560 --> 09:04.160 he did the first with a traditional 09:04.160 --> 09:06.320 guide, but he said this experience was 09:06.320 --> 09:07.760 totally different because of the 09:07.760 --> 09:08.560 glasses. 09:08.560 --> 09:10.240 >> The biggest difference was the training. 09:10.240 --> 09:12.480 You know, I could train without relying 09:12.480 --> 09:14.640 on someone to there to always support me 09:14.640 --> 09:16.560 because we live a busy lives. 09:16.560 --> 09:18.560 >> But Mr. Dot says he thinks this is just 09:18.560 --> 09:20.560 the beginning of what AI could do for 09:20.560 --> 09:22.640 the visually impaired community. Being 09:22.640 --> 09:24.320 blind is a very lonely experience 09:24.320 --> 09:26.399 sometimes. And you could have someone as 09:26.399 --> 09:28.800 being my eyes and they could like chat 09:28.800 --> 09:30.640 with you for five minutes, you know, and 09:30.640 --> 09:31.680 they could say, "Oh, you know, there's 09:31.680 --> 09:33.120 some ducks in the pond." You know what I 09:33.120 --> 09:35.200 mean? You could have that experience and 09:35.200 --> 09:36.720 not feel lonely. And I think that's a 09:36.720 --> 09:38.160 real game changer for the sight loss 09:38.160 --> 09:41.640 community as well. 09:44.399 --> 09:46.240 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A 09:46.240 --> 09:48.399 reminder that courage can change the 09:48.399 --> 09:50.240 world. Baseball didn't just play on 09:50.240 --> 09:52.480 Wednesday. It remembered, honored, and 09:52.480 --> 09:55.279 stood united. Across MLB, the famed 09:55.279 --> 09:58.160 number 42 in Dodger Blue was worn by 09:58.160 --> 10:00.320 every player, paying tribute to Jackie 10:00.320 --> 10:02.399 Robinson, the man who broke baseball's 10:02.399 --> 10:04.160 color barrier, becoming the first black 10:04.160 --> 10:06.399 player in Major League Baseball's modern 10:06.399 --> 10:08.800 era, helping to change the game and the 10:08.800 --> 10:12.240 country forever. His courage in 1947 was 10:12.240 --> 10:15.120 about shifting minds, opening doors for 10:15.120 --> 10:17.680 generations to come with the new We Are 10:17.680 --> 10:20.880 Jackie campaign. his legacy lives on. 10:20.880 --> 10:22.800 Rise up.
