WEBVTT 00:00:01.309 --> 00:00:08.505 [music] 00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:13.749 Hello, hello, and welcome to the show. 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.070 Wonderful Wednesday to you. It is a your 00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:17.910 word Wednesday. So, listen to see if the 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.910 vocabulary word one of you submitted 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.230 helped us write today's show. I'm Koi 00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:25.349 Wire. This is CNN 10 and today is August 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.910 19th. So, let's start off with a on this 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.070 day in history, man's best friend helped 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:32.870 change the space race forever. On August 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.310 19th, 1960, two K9 cosminauts named 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.190 Belela and Stroka blasted off aboard the 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.590 Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 5, becoming 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.990 the first dogs to orbit Earth and make 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.990 it home alive. And they weren't flying 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.790 solo. Along for the ride, a rabbit, 00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:50.869 rats, dozens of mice, and assorted 00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:53.670 plants and fungi. Basically Noah's Ark 00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:56.069 space edition. They orbited the Earth 17 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.069 times, spending more than a day in 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.950 space. The pups followed Leica, a Soviet 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.549 dog who became the first living creature 00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:06.149 to be sent into space in 1957, but sadly 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.550 did not survive. Belela and Stroka, 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.109 Russian for squirrel and little arrow, 00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:13.670 became instant folk heroes back home and 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.310 threw the US Soviet space race into 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:18.469 overdrive. Just nine months later, 00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:20.950 Russia's Yuri Gagarin became the first 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:23.030 person in space. Less than a decade 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.070 later, in 1969, the US landed on the 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:28.469 moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. 00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:30.950 So before humans took one giant leap, a 00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.789 couple of very good girls took some 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.429 pretty important first steps. Opening 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.109 arguments begin today in what could 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:39.429 become Meta's most consequential legal 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.830 battle yet over young people and social 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.230 media. Attorneys general have accused 00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:45.749 the company behind Instagram and 00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:47.670 Facebook of deliberately designing 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.990 features to keep children hooked while 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.149 misleading the public about potential 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.469 harms and improperly collecting some 00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:56.789 children's data. Meta denies these 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.709 allegations, saying it is invested 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.030 heavily in protections for teens. Our 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.950 Claire Duffy has more on exactly what's 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:04.630 at stake and how this trial could 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.749 reshape the social landscape. Hi Claire. 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:09.510 >> Hey Coy. Yeah, we have been following 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.430 this year this string of thousands of 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:12.869 lawsuits that have been filed against 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.630 Meta and the other big social media 00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:16.550 platforms, accusing them of creating 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.470 addictive platforms that have harmed the 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:20.790 mental health of young users. Meta has 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.550 already lost two of those cases this 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:23.990 year, putting it on the hook for nearly 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.550 a billion dollars in damages. But what 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.470 really sets this case that kicks off 00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:30.229 this week apart is the scale of the 00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:32.790 potential consequences for Meta. The 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.309 state attorneys general who have brought 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.790 this case are seeking as much as 1.4 4 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.589 trillion trillion with a t dollars in 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.830 damages. And even if they don't get that 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.670 big of a number, which is nearly as much 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.990 as Meta is worth on Wall Street, they're 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.830 also seeking changes to how Meta 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.150 operates its platform. So if Meta loses 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:51.670 this case, we could see really 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.910 significant changes to how all of us 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:56.790 experience social media. This trial that 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.710 kicked off in federal court in Oakland 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:01.430 is part of a case that was brought by 29 00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:03.430 state attorneys general. It will be 00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:05.190 argued by lawyers for four of those 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:06.949 states who claimed that Meta 00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:08.790 intentionally designed its platforms to 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.470 be addictive with features like the 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.149 endlessly scrolling feeds and the 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.309 recommendation algorithms and that all 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.149 of that has contributed to a mental 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.309 health crisis among young people in 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.070 their states. They also claimed that 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.149 Meta misled the public about the risks 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.550 from its platforms and that it illegally 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.390 gathered data from children under the 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.030 age of 13. Now, Meta is pushing back 00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:31.350 hard on these claims. In a statement, a 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.190 company spokesperson told us, quote, 00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:35.509 "The AG's offer no proof that anyone in 00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.452 their states was misled, claim benign 00:03:37.462 --> 00:03:38.869 [snorts] features like having an 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.550 additional Instagram account somehow 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.470 harmed their residents, and attempt to 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.309 penalize Meta for industry-wide 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.309 challenges like age verification." 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:47.990 Rather than sticking to the facts or the 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.070 law, the states have instead decided to 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.030 chase an outlandish payout. Now, Koi, a 00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:54.630 jury, will have the chance to consider 00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.470 those arguments, and they will advise 00:03:56.480 --> 00:03:57.990 the judge who will be responsible for 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.229 the ultimate verdict in this case. And 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:01.270 it's going to be a long one. It's 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.110 expected to last around 7 weeks. So, I 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.429 will be back with updates. 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.509 >> One of the biggest names in fast fashion 00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:09.750 could soon go public with a surprising 00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:12.070 price tag. Chinese e-commerce giant 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.390 Shien is gearing up for its long-awaited 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.189 initial public offering or IPO. When a 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.030 private company sells shares to the 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.189 public for the first time, for a 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.030 company, that can mean raising a 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.710 mountain of money to expand. And for 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.710 everyday investors, it means getting a 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.469 chance to own a tiny piece of the 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:31.270 business. Shien was valued at nearly 100 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:33.430 billion dollars just a few years ago. 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:35.590 Now it's pitching potential investors 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.670 with a valuation of just under 30 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.670 billion. Our Christy Lou Stout has more 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.909 on what's driving the e-commerce darling 00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:45.350 steep drop in valuation. You've probably 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.870 seen she and Hall videos like this. 00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:50.550 But how much is the company looking to 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.870 haul for its long awaited initial public 00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:56.070 offering in Hong Kong? Reports say under 00:04:56.080 --> 00:04:59.350 $30 billion. That's quite a drop in 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.430 valuation from its previous funding 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:05.830 rounds. Nearly $100 billion in 2022 and 00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:10.310 $64 billion in 2023. So why has Shiin 00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:13.350 lost its shine? Sheen tried New York and 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.350 London before finally getting approval 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.909 to list here in Hong Kong. It's 00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:20.070 notorious for its cheap and trendy 00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:22.550 clothes, mostly made by third-party 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.870 suppliers in China. It could turn out 00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:27.749 thousands of new styles a day, which has 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.870 brought huge profit margins and rapid 00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:33.350 growth. But it's been hit with higher 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.790 costs and slowing sales. Shien is also 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.870 facing a probe by the US Federal Trade 00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:40.629 Commission that could result in 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.350 significant fines. Over the years, it's 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.189 faced scrutiny from Western lawmakers 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.590 over its business practices, including 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.990 accusations of using forced labor, which 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.310 Sheen denies. Also weighing on the 00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:54.950 retailer, a new threeyear euro sales tax 00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:57.029 on low-v value shipments to curb what 00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:59.430 the EU calls unfair competition from 00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:01.110 China. 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.950 Pop quiz hot shot. What is the record 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:05.350 for most moves ever played in a master 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:14.550 level chess game? 92, 143, 269, or 427? 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.510 If you said 269, you're no rookie. In 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:21.350 1989, Ivan Nicolich and Goran Arevich 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.990 battled for an astonishing 20 hours and 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.950 15 minutes in Belgrade. And after 269 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:30.070 moves, it ended in a draw. Chess is 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:31.590 making all the right moves. Under the 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.909 eegis of Norwegian Grandmaster Magnus 00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:36.390 Carlson, widely considered the GOAT, and 00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:38.469 a boost from online play, streaming, and 00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:40.469 pop culture, the centuries old game is 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:42.550 enjoying a surge in popularity. Our 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.950 Matias Grez has more on this old school 00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:46.870 game that's been thinking several moves 00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:51.830 ahead. 00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:54.230 >> How did a 1,500year-old 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.390 pastime end up in a tournament alongside 00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:58.629 Fortnite and Call of Duty? It's fair to 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.270 say chess has experienced something of a 00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:03.830 renaissance in recent years. In 2020, 00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:05.670 Netflix series The Queen's Gambit became 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.830 a cultural phenomenon. In the first 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:09.830 three weeks following its October 2020 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:11.990 release, a US market research group said 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.270 sales of chess sets in the US jumped 87% 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:19.749 and sales of chess books jumped 603%. 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.830 The winner on Chess's esports World Cup 00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:24.550 debut in 2025 was of course none other 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.710 than Magnus Carlson. The suave 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.189 Scandinavian is no doubt the best player 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.830 of his generation and for many he is the 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:34.230 chess goat. A chess prodigy who earned 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:35.990 the title of grandmaster at just the age 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.909 of 13, Carlson boasts a ridiculous list 00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:42.629 of records. As well as the sport and its 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.309 stars blowing up over the last few 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.469 years, chess streamers on YouTube and 00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:48.710 Twitch also experienced a huge surge in 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.710 popularity. But despite a female 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.550 protagonist in the Queen's Gambit, 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.950 played by Anna Taylor Joy, chess remains 00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:57.430 a maledominated sport. According to the 00:07:57.440 --> 00:07:59.589 International Chess Federation, just 00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:02.950 16.5% of registered players are female. 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:04.790 Chess influencers and former players 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.270 Nemo and Anna Kramling are two of the 00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:09.110 most high-profile women trying to change 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:09.589 that. 00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:11.749 >> Unfortunately, there is a lot of 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.950 misogyny in chess. And as I got older, 00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:17.110 it started to really hit me. Like the 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.110 fact that I am a woman means I am 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.550 sometimes treated differently. And 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.270 unfortunately, we've had a ton of 00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:25.110 stories about women getting harassed at 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.629 chess events. And the whole backstory 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.270 for why women have women's only events 00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:30.869 in the first place is so that we can 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.509 encourage more girls to play the game. 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.670 >> The trip to Paris was well worth 00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:37.909 Carlson's time. He walks away from the 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:46.949 tournament with a check for $250,000. 00:08:46.959 --> 00:08:48.710 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. a 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.870 new tourist attraction. Put in the in 00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:53.190 bird watching. Visit a big American city 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.550 and there's probably a tour for 00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:57.190 everything. Food, history, architecture, 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.269 ghosts. But on your next trip to 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.990 Philadelphia, how about pigeons? Sure, 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.430 some people say they're just rats with 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.430 wings. But one Philly couple is trying 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.509 to give these birds a serious PR 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.350 makeover. And it all started when they 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.630 passed one on the street. 00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:13.590 >> This bird seems sick or injured. I did 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.670 take her to a rehabilitator. She was 00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:17.910 malnourished. I don't think she is gonna 00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:20.389 survive on the streets of Philadelphia. 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.990 So, do you want a pet pigeon? 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.230 >> So, an impromptu rescue became a pet. 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.750 The pet became a passion. And the 00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:28.150 passion has led to weekly Philly pigeon 00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:30.870 tours, walking tours devoted entirely to 00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:33.509 one of America's most overlooked urban 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.910 neighbors. Did you know humans once used 00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:38.150 homing pigeons to carry messages like 00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:40.070 sports results or that they can see 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.990 ultraviolet light? Or that the British 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.590 used pigeons during World War II to 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:45.430 carry intelligence in Nazi occupied 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.350 Europe? So, maybe it's time we stop 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.710 looking down on pigeons. Although, 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.230 considering where they usually sit, 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.509 they've been looking down on us the 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.430 whole time. All right, congratulations 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.150 to our your Word Wednesday winners, Mr. 00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:57.990 Hardaway and all of our wild cats at 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.750 Cashian High School in Oklahoma who 00:09:59.760 --> 00:10:02.070 submitted eegis, a noun meaning the 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:03.910 controller guidance, especially by an 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:05.829 individual group or system. Thank you 00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:07.590 because under your eegis, we just got 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.430 smarter. Today, we're also giving a 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.030 shout out from the comment section of 00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:14.230 our CNN 10 YouTube channel. Mr. Odardi 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.389 from Bondant Middle School in Frankfurt, 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.389 Kentucky. Thank you for starting off the 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.230 school year with us. Rise up everyone. 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.310 I'm Koi Wire.
