WEBVTT 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.910 What's up, sunshine? Hope your weekend 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:15.509 was more refreshing than the center seed 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.109 of a cucumber. And I hope you showed all 00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:18.710 the mother figures out there in your 00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:20.710 world some love. We are kicking off the 00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:23.029 week with some in-depth investigations. 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.870 And I know today is technically May 00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:26.230 11th, but we could not miss an 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:28.310 opportunity to highlight your 10 out of 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.710 10 moments like we do on every 10th of 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.630 the month. So stay tuned for that. Let's 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.870 go. We begin with a story that may have 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.950 many of us rethinking the environmental 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.069 impact of our next outfits. The fashion 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.389 industry or fast fashion industry has 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.470 brought trendy looks from the runway to 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:46.869 store shelves in record time, but it's 00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:49.270 also taking a big toll on our planet. 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.670 Each year the world generates about 92 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:54.790 million metric tons of textile waste and 00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:57.510 fast fashion is only accelerating this 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.990 crisis. In India all that discarded 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.229 clothing is fueling a booming billion 00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:04.789 dollar recycling industry. But for some 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.870 workers it's coming at a cost of their 00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:08.710 health. Our Haneko Montgomery has more 00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:11.670 on the industry's hidden human toll. 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.670 >> In India's Pontipant the world's 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.390 wardrobe is giving you life. 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.469 A million tons of discarded clothes get 00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:21.990 recycled here every year, arriving in 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.310 relentless waves. This is incredible. 00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:26.630 Look at this. 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.429 This is unbelievable. 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.069 This entire room is covered in clothing. 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.830 Oh my gosh. This has a tag that says 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.830 Goodwill. This is a thrift store in the 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.230 United States. A lot of the garments are 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:39.910 collected from charity bins across 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.270 places like the US, UK, and Japan, then 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.109 sent thousands of miles across the 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:49.270 Once here, they're first sorted by 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.830 color, shredded, and spun into yarn. 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.990 Then at another factory, they're woven 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.310 into rugs and carpets to be sold back to 00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:00.230 the countries the clothes first came 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.069 >> US, we are working with like TJX and 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.270 then uh like Walmart, Target, Hobby 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:08.710 Lobby, Kirkland. So 00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:10.710 >> So basically all the brands that every 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:11.910 American has heard of. 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:14.710 >> Yeah. Panipat's textile recycling 00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:17.190 industry is worth billions. Our 00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:19.270 investigation found this profitable fix 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.110 for the world's and America's fast 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.470 fashion waste comes at a sickening cost. 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:26.790 Most factories operate informally with 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.910 little oversight. 00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:31.510 >> I've only been standing here for 5 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.670 minutes and look, I'm already covered in 00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:36.309 >> The air workers breathe daily is 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.869 suffocating and inescapable. Plumes of 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.070 lint enveloping them wherever they turn. 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.670 But it's difficult to speak to workers 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.270 under their employer's watchful eye. 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.270 So we go visit a local doctor who treats 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.110 the worst of cases. 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.750 >> Do people die from these diseases? 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:56.150 >> If they inhale the same air daily on the 00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:59.030 daily basis, yes, it definitely shortens 00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:00.790 their lifespan. 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.470 >> Subash has been in and out of hospitals 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:03.990 for months. 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.589 >> Are you in a lot of pain? Are you 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.509 >> Yes, it's painful. It's difficult to 00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:13.190 eat. It's difficult to walk, 00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.990 >> but quitting isn't an option. He has 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.070 three kids to feed. To understand why 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.910 more isn't being done to protect the 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:21.910 nearly a million workers this industry 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:23.750 employs, we speak to the head of 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:26.309 Panipot's dying association. 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.790 >> He insists there's no real problem. 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.710 >> So, while we've been in Panipot, we 00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:33.110 visited a few dying units where there 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.990 were no masks, no goggles, no gloves 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.390 being worn. Why is that? 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.869 >> Uneducated. They are uneducated. That's 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.190 why they don't wear masks. Everything is 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:45.589 provided by the boss. 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.509 >> But in every informal factory we 00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:49.830 visited, not once did we see these rules 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.789 enforced. Instead, we saw workers left 00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:55.350 breathless and exposed with nowhere else 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.030 to go. 00:03:57.040 --> 00:03:58.869 But the damage extends far beyond 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.670 factory walls to an ecosystem that 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.229 millions depend on. They use really 00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:06.869 hazardous chemicals to bleach textiles, 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.070 but they don't have good drainage 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.509 systems. So, the water is actually 00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:11.030 allowed to seep into the surrounding 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:13.270 environment, poisoning the people and 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.350 also the land here. We've contacted 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.189 several government agencies for comment 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.189 on our findings. None replied. 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:22.790 We thought we were giving these clothes 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.990 a second life, but here they're costing 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.469 people theirs and leaving them and their 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:31.909 city buried in our waist. 00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:34.310 The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to 00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:36.469 North America this summer and right at 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:38.629 the heart of it all, Atlanta, Georgia. 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.390 This week, I sat down with Arthur Blank 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.310 and his son Josh Blank following the 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:44.230 ribbon cutting of the brand new Arthur 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.950 Mlank US Soccer National Training Center 00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.350 here in Georgia. Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.110 Stadium is hosting eight matches, 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.590 including a semifinal. And footy, it's 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.590 exploding faster than a penalty kick to 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.749 the top corner here. Some are even 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.830 calling Atlanta the soccer capital of 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:01.670 America. and the Blank families played a 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.110 huge role in helping to make that 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.350 happen. So, what impact could the World 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.590 Cup have on business, culture, and 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.590 future generations of players? Let's 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.270 kick it with the blanks. 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:14.950 >> Soccer brings um not only young people 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:17.270 together, but people together in a very 00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:19.670 unique way. Soccer has become a big part 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.590 of our business, but it's a big part of 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.110 the community. It's a big big part of 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.189 the life of so many people in the 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.029 Atlanta region. So, we're thrilled to be 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:29.029 part of it. Josh, I'm not so sure that 00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:31.510 the global audience might understand 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:34.870 just how passionate footy fans are in 00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:36.870 America. Talking Europe, talking South 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:38.790 America, right? What's one thing you 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.590 wish that global audience knew about 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.390 >> the American footy fans? Our love for 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:48.070 the sport is as authentic and as dieh 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:51.510 hard as uh these countries continents 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:54.790 that the sport has been an existing 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.350 property and and played for hundreds and 00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.510 hundreds of more years. MLS has only 00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:02.230 been around for for 30 years and the 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.510 Premier League and all these other 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.230 leagues have been around for 100 plus. 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.550 And while we're still young, that 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.550 certainly doesn't mean that our passion 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.870 for the sport, our energy for the teams 00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:15.350 is is any less. Our passion for the 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.230 sport is is incredibly high, and we're 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:19.830 incredibly excited to to show that off 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:20.790 this summer, too. 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.230 >> The Arthur M. Blank US Soccer National 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.230 Training Center. You've given so much of 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.749 your money to causes, to businesses. Why 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.830 soccer? Why was that important to you? 00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:34.550 When Cindy Conn, the chairperson, and JT 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.629 Batson, our CEO of US Soccer Relation, 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.029 approached us, my easy answer was yes. I 00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:40.390 mean, they did their pitch, but actually 00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:41.909 within 5 minutes, I was going to say 00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:45.830 >> US Soccer was the only nation that was 00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:49.270 in the top 30 without a permanent home. 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:51.909 and having the opportunity to be a part 00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:54.150 of that and and build it hopefully will 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.029 then elevate us as a soccer nation and 00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:00.070 as a federation both men's women's youth 00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:01.990 and across the board. That's it's an 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.070 exciting opportunity and one that that 00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:05.510 the US definitely needed. 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:07.189 >> Who's more competitive between the two 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:07.670 of you? 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.189 >> Wow. I'm going to say me just selfishly, 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.270 but I think it could go either way. He 00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:15.270 has all of his marathon times written 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:17.029 down and I've done two 00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:18.870 >> and he has me beat on the marathon, but 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:21.350 I have a beat on the half marathon. So, 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.950 we go back and forth on that. 00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:23.589 >> What do you say? 00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:25.270 >> I think we're both very competitive. I 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:27.110 mean, our whole family is actually, I 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.629 would say, um, 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.629 >> but he's definitely right at the top of 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.870 the stack. 00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:34.870 >> Pop quiz hot shot. What popular drink 00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:37.350 was invented in Taiwan? Orange soda, 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:46.469 bubble tea, slushies, or matcha latte? 00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:49.110 If you said bubble tea, nailed it. In 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.189 the 1980s, the famous night markets in 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.990 Taiwan began to combine milk, tea, and 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.230 chewy tapioca pearls for a late night 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.270 pickme up. Whale whale, what do we have 00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:00.790 here? Taiwan's Coast Guard and 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.790 volunteers have stepped up to rescue a 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.270 pot of pygmy killer whales stranded on a 00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:07.510 beach in Taiwan. The squad of four, 00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:09.830 including two males, two females, one 00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:11.670 being pregnant, were found half 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.710 submerged by the Don Jang Bridge in New 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.510 Taipei City. Though they've got whale in 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:19.110 their name, they're actually a species 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.189 of dolphin. The Coast Guard tended to 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.029 the dolphins by covering them in wet 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:25.749 blankets, pouring seawater over their 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.830 bodies. After being evaluated at a 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:30.150 rescue center, the Taiwan Sitation 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.709 Society said they were ready to wave 00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:34.790 goodbye and return home. They were 00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:42.070 released in Paris. Back into the ocean. 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.990 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.910 Everyone watching this show right now, 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:47.829 you. Every tenth of the month, we 00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:49.509 highlight some of our viewers 10 out of 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.670 10 moments of the year so far.
