WEBVTT

00:00:10.684 --> 00:00:12.341
How are you, sunshine?  I am

00:00:12.391 --> 00:00:13.799
Koy Waer.  This is CNN 10, and

00:00:13.832 --> 00:00:14.539
today we're

00:00:14.573 --> 00:00:15.179
going to

00:00:15.213 --> 00:00:16.526
explore the cloud

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:17.536
forest, fly to

00:00:17.569 --> 00:00:18.613
the moon, and even a

00:00:19.522 --> 00:00:20.162
galaxy far, far away.

00:00:20.316 --> 00:00:21.715
Greetings, rebel.

00:00:21.815 --> 00:00:23.140
Along the way, we'll see a

00:00:23.174 --> 00:00:24.262
new species of cat, a 6-

00:00:24.262 --> 00:00:25.588
year-old breaking

00:00:25.622 --> 00:00:26.744
world records, and

00:00:26.778 --> 00:00:27.492
approximately 43

00:00:27.526 --> 00:00:28.342
quintillion

00:00:28.376 --> 00:00:29.430
ways to solve a

00:00:29.464 --> 00:00:30.487
cube.  We turn on

00:00:30.521 --> 00:00:31.737
curiosity.  Time

00:00:31.779 --> 00:00:33.337
to start.  On this day,

00:00:33.372 --> 00:00:34.380
September 23, 1806,

00:00:34.415 --> 00:00:35.284
Lewis and Clark,

00:00:35.319 --> 00:00:36.361
Meriwether Lewis,

00:00:36.396 --> 00:00:37.682
William Clark, and their

00:00:37.717 --> 00:00:39.003
team returned

00:00:39.038 --> 00:00:40.254
to St. Louis after

00:00:40.289 --> 00:00:40.810
one of the

00:00:40.845 --> 00:00:42.062
most famous hiking

00:00:42.096 --> 00:00:42.896
expeditions in

00:00:42.931 --> 00:00:43.834
American

00:00:43.869 --> 00:00:45.122
history.  They were

00:00:45.154 --> 00:00:46.133
away for 2 years, 4

00:00:46.164 --> 00:00:47.112
months, and 10 days,

00:00:47.144 --> 00:00:48.123
traveling thousands of

00:00:48.154 --> 00:00:49.260
miles from St. Louis

00:00:49.291 --> 00:00:50.523
up the

00:00:50.555 --> 00:00:51.376
Missouri River, through the

00:00:51.407 --> 00:00:52.229
Rocky Mountains, and

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:53.366
eventually reaching the

00:00:53.397 --> 00:00:54.619
Pacific Ocean.  Then

00:00:54.649 --> 00:00:55.400
they decided to

00:00:55.430 --> 00:00:56.542
go back, on the

00:00:56.572 --> 00:00:57.354
return journey.

00:00:57.454 --> 00:00:59.071
No GPS, no Google

00:00:59.112 --> 00:01:00.314
Maps, no Taco Bell,

00:01:00.356 --> 00:01:01.434
Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out, or

00:01:01.475 --> 00:01:02.844
McDonald's stops at

00:01:02.885 --> 00:01:04.203
that time.  Their maps

00:01:04.237 --> 00:01:05.311
were ones they

00:01:05.345 --> 00:01:06.654
created themselves, they

00:01:06.687 --> 00:01:07.661
kept extensive

00:01:07.695 --> 00:01:08.970
records, documenting

00:01:09.004 --> 00:01:10.313
hundreds of plants and animals

00:01:10.313 --> 00:01:10.917
, collecting

00:01:10.951 --> 00:01:11.689
geographical

00:01:11.723 --> 00:01:12.529
information, and

00:01:12.562 --> 00:01:13.636
Sacagawea, a young

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:14.878
Native American woman

00:01:14.912 --> 00:01:15.986
traveling with an

00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:16.893
infant, served as

00:01:16.926 --> 00:01:17.765
an interpreter,

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:18.537
helping

00:01:18.571 --> 00:01:19.242
the expedition

00:01:19.276 --> 00:01:20.182
communicate with the

00:01:20.216 --> 00:01:21.391
native peoples along the

00:01:21.424 --> 00:01:22.626
way.  When they

00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:23.953
reached St. Louis,

00:01:23.986 --> 00:01:25.015
people greeted them on the

00:01:25.048 --> 00:01:26.337
riverbank.  Finally

00:01:26.365 --> 00:01:27.289
home, after more

00:01:27.317 --> 00:01:28.045
than two years of

00:01:28.073 --> 00:01:29.211
research.  Life

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:29.999
lesson: it's not always

00:01:30.027 --> 00:01:31.068
important to know exactly

00:01:31.096 --> 00:01:32.203
where we're going.  Sometimes it's

00:01:32.233 --> 00:01:33.324
important to simply have the

00:01:33.354 --> 00:01:33.839
courage

00:01:33.869 --> 00:01:35.061
to explore.  In Los

00:01:35.061 --> 00:01:36.063
Angeles, the city of

00:01:36.097 --> 00:01:37.334
stars, the bright lights

00:01:37.367 --> 00:01:38.503
of Hollywood don't shine

00:01:38.537 --> 00:01:39.774
as often as they used to.

00:01:39.874 --> 00:01:40.884
2026 is set to be

00:01:40.919 --> 00:01:41.965
one of the least

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.220
productive years

00:01:43.254 --> 00:01:43.951
for the film and

00:01:43.986 --> 00:01:45.311
television industry in

00:01:45.346 --> 00:01:46.407
history.  Behind these

00:01:46.441 --> 00:01:47.351
numbers are

00:01:47.385 --> 00:01:48.666
real people, not just

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:50.072
actors.  Think about

00:01:50.106 --> 00:01:50.873
decorators,

00:01:50.906 --> 00:01:51.740
lighting designers,

00:01:51.773 --> 00:01:52.740
sound engineers,

00:01:52.773 --> 00:01:53.407
stylists,

00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:54.508
makeup artists, small

00:01:54.541 --> 00:01:55.775
catering businesses,

00:01:56.775 --> 00:01:57.909
equipment suppliers, drivers,

00:01:57.942 --> 00:01:58.559
etc.  When

00:01:58.586 --> 00:01:59.263
production in

00:01:59.290 --> 00:02:00.155
Hollywood disappears, so

00:02:00.183 --> 00:02:01.211
do

00:02:01.238 --> 00:02:01.996
many people's earnings.

00:02:03.063 --> 00:02:03.914
Our

00:02:03.943 --> 00:02:04.530
Natasha Chen will tell you more about this.

00:02:05.298 --> 00:02:06.395
Films and TV series are

00:02:07.555 --> 00:02:08.621
no longer being shot as actively in Hollywood.

00:02:09.605 --> 00:02:10.673
The decline is so

00:02:10.713 --> 00:02:12.019
dramatic that 2026

00:02:12.058 --> 00:02:13.522
could be one

00:02:13.562 --> 00:02:14.670
of the worst years in terms of

00:02:14.710 --> 00:02:16.253
production

00:02:16.253 --> 00:02:16.293
.

00:02:16.393 --> 00:02:17.574
I have only worked 3

00:02:17.607 --> 00:02:18.789
days this year in this

00:02:18.822 --> 00:02:19.446
industry.

00:02:19.546 --> 00:02:20.880
Including this week?

00:02:20.980 --> 00:02:22.294
Including this week.

00:02:22.394 --> 00:02:23.543
What?  Jeremy Weiland

00:02:23.564 --> 00:02:24.414
transports production

00:02:24.436 --> 00:02:24.937
materials to

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:25.809
film sets

00:02:25.809 --> 00:02:26.463
, but like many

00:02:26.485 --> 00:02:27.291
other Hollywood

00:02:27.313 --> 00:02:27.858
workers and

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:28.730
small

00:02:28.751 --> 00:02:29.514
business owners, he has difficulty

00:02:29.536 --> 00:02:30.234
finding work.

00:02:30.334 --> 00:02:31.647
This is a matter of dignity.

00:02:31.747 --> 00:02:32.806
You want, you want

00:02:32.839 --> 00:02:33.915
to be useful.  You

00:02:33.944 --> 00:02:34.948
want to wake up

00:02:34.977 --> 00:02:35.818
early in the morning.  You

00:02:35.845 --> 00:02:36.802
want to

00:02:36.829 --> 00:02:37.349
work hard.

00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:38.404
In addition to finding work,

00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:38.869
he

00:02:38.895 --> 00:02:39.463
is also trying to

00:02:39.489 --> 00:02:40.289
rebuild his

00:02:40.315 --> 00:02:41.446
house.  It burned down

00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:42.664
during the Los

00:02:42.664 --> 00:02:43.916
Angeles fires in January 2025

00:02:43.950 --> 00:02:44.898
, and it became a

00:02:44.932 --> 00:02:46.116
major expense

00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:47.132
without a stable

00:02:47.166 --> 00:02:47.606
income.    Are

00:02:47.706 --> 00:02:49.091
you considering a different

00:02:49.127 --> 00:02:50.112
career path?

00:02:51.591 --> 00:02:54.337
I...I don't want to.  I really

00:02:54.372 --> 00:02:55.537
want to continue on

00:02:55.572 --> 00:02:56.807
this path, but I think,

00:02:56.843 --> 00:02:58.078
like everyone else, we need

00:02:58.113 --> 00:02:58.890
to be honest.

00:03:00.352 --> 00:03:01.748
And the truth is that according to

00:03:01.785 --> 00:03:02.557
Film LA,

00:03:02.594 --> 00:03:03.550
the agency

00:03:03.587 --> 00:03:04.983
responsible for permitting

00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:06.050
filming in Los

00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:06.895
Angeles and

00:03:06.932 --> 00:03:08.035
parts of the county,

00:03:08.071 --> 00:03:09.505
the number of filming

00:03:09.542 --> 00:03:10.755
days for movies and

00:03:10.792 --> 00:03:12.115
TV series this spring is

00:03:12.152 --> 00:03:13.108
40-50% lower than the

00:03:13.144 --> 00:03:14.541
average for the

00:03:14.578 --> 00:03:15.608
last 5 years.

00:03:17.182 --> 00:03:18.159
Many of us

00:03:18.193 --> 00:03:19.036
have spent our

00:03:19.070 --> 00:03:20.351
savings, everything just to

00:03:20.385 --> 00:03:21.531
stay

00:03:21.565 --> 00:03:22.559
afloat.  Therefore.    Did

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:23.706
you do it?

00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:24.168
Yes.

00:03:24.268 --> 00:03:25.403
I first met Corey

00:03:25.432 --> 00:03:26.538
Lavelle when her

00:03:26.567 --> 00:03:27.702
floral props warehouse

00:03:27.732 --> 00:03:28.605
was suffering during the

00:03:28.634 --> 00:03:29.769
writers'

00:03:29.798 --> 00:03:30.381
and actors' strikes.

00:03:30.481 --> 00:03:31.731
When I was here with you

00:03:31.763 --> 00:03:32.564
3 years ago, did you

00:03:32.596 --> 00:03:33.654
really think

00:03:33.686 --> 00:03:34.937
things would improve

00:03:34.969 --> 00:03:36.337
after the strikes?  Did it

00:03:36.378 --> 00:03:36.996
happen?

00:03:37.298 --> 00:03:38.466
This did not happen.

00:03:38.566 --> 00:03:39.727
What are you going to

00:03:39.766 --> 00:03:40.270
do?

00:03:42.038 --> 00:03:43.336
I'm losing

00:03:43.375 --> 00:03:45.546
a lot of sleep because of this.  I'm looking for

00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:46.655
someone who could

00:03:46.689 --> 00:03:47.832
come and share the

00:03:47.865 --> 00:03:49.909
space.  I still

00:03:49.944 --> 00:03:50.916
have a good

00:03:50.951 --> 00:03:52.109
income stream.  It's just

00:03:52.141 --> 00:03:53.193
half as small as it

00:03:53.225 --> 00:03:53.864
was before.    It's

00:03:53.964 --> 00:03:55.071
much

00:03:55.103 --> 00:03:56.048
quieter here than it was

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.188
before, to be honest.

00:03:57.288 --> 00:03:57.945
I spoke with

00:03:57.972 --> 00:03:58.931
economist Adam

00:03:58.958 --> 00:03:59.588
Fowler about the

00:03:59.616 --> 00:04:00.410
huge decline in

00:04:00.438 --> 00:04:01.341
production after the

00:04:01.369 --> 00:04:02.163
bursting of the

00:04:02.191 --> 00:04:03.177
streaming bubble and how it's

00:04:03.204 --> 00:04:04.218
cheaper to film in

00:04:04.245 --> 00:04:05.012
other countries with

00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:05.697
free

00:04:05.724 --> 00:04:06.354
healthcare and

00:04:06.381 --> 00:04:07.368
more affordable housing.

00:04:07.468 --> 00:04:08.491
We're not going to stand

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.397
here and pretend that the

00:04:09.427 --> 00:04:10.275
United States is

00:04:10.304 --> 00:04:11.210
suddenly going to get

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:12.117
nationalized

00:04:12.146 --> 00:04:13.286
free healthcare

00:04:13.286 --> 00:04:14.427
, but what can be done

00:04:14.456 --> 00:04:15.509
about other

00:04:15.538 --> 00:04:16.357
cost-of-living issues?

00:04:16.629 --> 00:04:17.800
We just need

00:04:17.832 --> 00:04:19.069
leadership that says,

00:04:19.102 --> 00:04:19.948
"To save

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:20.761
Hollywood, we

00:04:20.794 --> 00:04:21.867
need affordable

00:04:21.900 --> 00:04:22.291
housing."

00:04:22.610 --> 00:04:23.595
This is the first time,

00:04:24.664 --> 00:04:25.706
whether during the mayoral election or the

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.282
gubernatorial race, that this has

00:04:27.310 --> 00:04:28.352
become a topic of debate.

00:04:28.452 --> 00:04:29.470
Um, and I think that

00:04:29.501 --> 00:04:30.582
finally got

00:04:30.612 --> 00:04:31.292
people's attention.

00:04:31.392 --> 00:04:32.080
President Trump

00:04:32.104 --> 00:04:32.982
recently met

00:04:33.006 --> 00:04:33.718
with actor Jon

00:04:33.742 --> 00:04:34.454
Voight about the

00:04:34.478 --> 00:04:35.190
issue and is now

00:04:35.214 --> 00:04:35.974
promoting the first-ever

00:04:35.997 --> 00:04:36.876
federal

00:04:36.900 --> 00:04:37.683
tax incentive

00:04:37.707 --> 00:04:38.182
for film and

00:04:38.205 --> 00:04:38.942
television production.

00:04:39.042 --> 00:04:40.004
We want to let

00:04:40.030 --> 00:04:40.917
everyone know about this because

00:04:40.942 --> 00:04:41.550
it affects the

00:04:41.576 --> 00:04:42.564
financial bottom line of the

00:04:42.589 --> 00:04:43.578
United

00:04:43.603 --> 00:04:43.933
States economy.

00:04:44.033 --> 00:04:44.991
Wayland traveled to

00:04:45.021 --> 00:04:45.859
Sacramento to

00:04:45.889 --> 00:04:46.848
fight for better

00:04:46.878 --> 00:04:47.986
benefits in California,

00:04:48.016 --> 00:04:49.034
which, according to Film LA, has

00:04:49.064 --> 00:04:49.812
already helped

00:04:49.842 --> 00:04:50.831
bring back dozens of

00:04:50.861 --> 00:04:51.984
productions.  But if the

00:04:52.010 --> 00:04:52.878
overall situation

00:04:52.904 --> 00:04:53.640
continues to

00:04:53.666 --> 00:04:54.508
shift towards

00:04:54.534 --> 00:04:55.112
overseas

00:04:55.139 --> 00:04:56.006
alternatives, such as

00:04:56.032 --> 00:04:56.979
Australia or the

00:04:57.005 --> 00:04:57.584
UK, would

00:04:57.610 --> 00:04:58.425
you move to

00:04:58.451 --> 00:04:58.846
London?

00:04:58.946 --> 00:05:00.130
Moving to London is

00:05:00.161 --> 00:05:01.127
actually quite

00:05:01.158 --> 00:05:02.224
difficult.  This, you know,

00:05:02.256 --> 00:05:03.470
getting visas, this is

00:05:03.503 --> 00:05:04.519
essentially a complete turn of

00:05:04.552 --> 00:05:05.798
your life upside down

00:05:05.831 --> 00:05:07.175
.  And look, I'm

00:05:07.211 --> 00:05:08.556
American.  I want the

00:05:08.591 --> 00:05:09.588
US to

00:05:09.624 --> 00:05:10.087
succeed.

00:05:10.187 --> 00:05:11.195
They say there are people in this world

00:05:11.222 --> 00:05:12.124
who love

00:05:12.151 --> 00:05:12.974
dogs and people who

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.052
love cats.  So,

00:05:14.084 --> 00:05:15.129
cat lovers, do

00:05:15.162 --> 00:05:16.239
we have something interesting for you

00:05:16.272 --> 00:05:17.612
?  Scientists

00:05:18.748 --> 00:05:19.951
have discovered a new

00:05:19.984 --> 00:05:21.287
living species of wild cat for the first time in over 100 years

00:05:21.287 --> 00:05:23.375
.  Meet Tillo

00:05:23.413 --> 00:05:24.470
Cayo.  It lives in the

00:05:24.498 --> 00:05:25.594
Yungas cloud forests of

00:05:25.622 --> 00:05:26.718
Bolivia and belongs to

00:05:26.746 --> 00:05:27.589
a group of so-called

00:05:27.617 --> 00:05:28.545
tiger cats that

00:05:28.573 --> 00:05:29.472
live across most of

00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:30.428
South

00:05:30.456 --> 00:05:31.709
America.  Consider this

00:05:31.744 --> 00:05:32.685
another case of

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:33.417
mistaken

00:05:33.451 --> 00:05:34.810
identity, as in

00:05:34.845 --> 00:05:35.751
2017, the kitten

00:05:35.786 --> 00:05:36.866
was found by a local

00:05:36.901 --> 00:05:38.260
resident on a road near a

00:05:38.295 --> 00:05:39.305
forest that is often

00:05:39.340 --> 00:05:40.656
covered in clouds.  He

00:05:40.684 --> 00:05:41.622
tried to keep the

00:05:41.651 --> 00:05:42.389
wild cat as a

00:05:42.418 --> 00:05:43.526
pet

00:05:43.526 --> 00:05:44.549
, but then said, "

00:05:44.549 --> 00:05:45.344
Yes, I'll give this

00:05:45.373 --> 00:05:46.026
creature to the

00:05:47.021 --> 00:05:47.845
Senda Verde Wildlife Sanctuary in

00:05:47.873 --> 00:05:49.151
Bolivia."  Researchers

00:05:49.186 --> 00:05:50.437
always suspected

00:05:50.471 --> 00:05:51.375
something was wrong:

00:05:51.409 --> 00:05:52.660
the animal weighed only

00:05:52.695 --> 00:05:53.910
about 1.3 kg, less

00:05:53.945 --> 00:05:54.744
than most

00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:55.995
domestic cats, but

00:05:56.029 --> 00:05:57.141
only this month,

00:05:57.176 --> 00:05:58.531
thanks to in-depth

00:05:58.565 --> 00:05:59.712
genomic analysis,

00:05:59.746 --> 00:06:00.927
they discovered that it was a

00:06:00.962 --> 00:06:02.274
new species.  Researchers

00:06:02.304 --> 00:06:03.214
say its large

00:06:03.243 --> 00:06:04.241
spots make it

00:06:04.270 --> 00:06:05.268
almost invisible in the

00:06:05.298 --> 00:06:06.149
wild, while its

00:06:06.178 --> 00:06:07.323
small, flattened

00:06:07.352 --> 00:06:08.291
snout, short,

00:06:08.321 --> 00:06:09.407
round ears, and long

00:06:09.436 --> 00:06:10.346
whiskers set

00:06:10.375 --> 00:06:11.396
it apart from others.  A relatively new battle scar

00:06:11.428 --> 00:06:12.324
has appeared on the Moon

00:06:13.572 --> 00:06:14.628
.  Scientists

00:06:14.657 --> 00:06:15.426
have found evidence of a

00:06:15.454 --> 00:06:16.479
collision with a space

00:06:16.508 --> 00:06:17.561
rock that occurred

00:06:17.590 --> 00:06:18.644
about 2 years ago.

00:06:18.744 --> 00:06:19.719
In fact, it was like a

00:06:19.748 --> 00:06:20.694
violent

00:06:20.723 --> 00:06:21.995
collision.  NASA's

00:06:22.031 --> 00:06:23.037
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

00:06:23.073 --> 00:06:23.827
spotted this

00:06:23.863 --> 00:06:24.977
huge new

00:06:25.013 --> 00:06:26.162
crater, formed by a

00:06:26.198 --> 00:06:27.563
fragment of an asteroid or

00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:28.964
comet that crashed into the

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.150
lunar surface.

00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:31.653
They estimate it

00:06:31.690 --> 00:06:32.650
was the size of a

00:06:32.687 --> 00:06:33.758
five-story

00:06:33.795 --> 00:06:35.050
building, leaving a

00:06:35.087 --> 00:06:36.269
crater 43

00:06:36.306 --> 00:06:37.561
meters deep and 222

00:06:37.598 --> 00:06:38.794
meters wide.  That's more than two

00:06:38.826 --> 00:06:39.766
football fields

00:06:39.797 --> 00:06:40.519
across.

00:06:40.801 --> 00:06:42.053
Researchers say

00:06:42.085 --> 00:06:42.889
it's the largest

00:06:42.921 --> 00:06:44.174
newly formed crater

00:06:44.174 --> 00:06:45.105
they've ever

00:06:45.105 --> 00:06:46.197
found in

00:06:46.230 --> 00:06:47.097
our solar

00:06:47.129 --> 00:06:47.996
system, and such

00:06:48.029 --> 00:06:48.607
collisions

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.346
happen

00:06:49.378 --> 00:06:50.470
about once every 130

00:06:50.502 --> 00:06:51.483
years.  The Moon

00:06:51.514 --> 00:06:52.663
has no atmosphere to

00:06:52.694 --> 00:06:53.533
slow down these

00:06:53.564 --> 00:06:54.775
space rocks, so

00:06:54.775 --> 00:06:56.009
— bang!  And there remains a

00:06:56.042 --> 00:06:57.130
big dent in the

00:06:57.163 --> 00:06:58.679
moon.  Quick

00:06:58.711 --> 00:06:59.505
question for

00:06:59.537 --> 00:07:00.605
the smart ones.  How many

00:07:00.632 --> 00:07:01.049
colors

00:07:01.075 --> 00:07:01.831
are represented on a

00:07:01.857 --> 00:07:02.822
standard

00:07:02.848 --> 00:07:11.279
Rubik's Cube?  4, 6, 8 or 12?  If

00:07:11.309 --> 00:07:12.358
you answered six,

00:07:12.388 --> 00:07:13.557
you are so smart

00:07:13.587 --> 00:07:14.727
that this is just a riddle.    A

00:07:14.827 --> 00:07:16.013
standard

00:07:16.049 --> 00:07:17.055
3x3x3 Rubik's Cube has 54

00:07:17.091 --> 00:07:18.241
squares and six

00:07:18.277 --> 00:07:19.535
different colors,

00:07:19.571 --> 00:07:20.757
meaning there are

00:07:20.793 --> 00:07:21.871
only about 43

00:07:21.907 --> 00:07:22.842
quintillion

00:07:22.878 --> 00:07:24.244
possible combinations.

00:07:25.083 --> 00:07:26.137
And now about a child with

00:07:26.166 --> 00:07:27.074
movements so

00:07:27.103 --> 00:07:28.070
fast that they can

00:07:28.099 --> 00:07:29.183
injure their neck.

00:07:29.283 --> 00:07:30.267
Six-year-old Liyan

00:07:30.299 --> 00:07:31.474
Yangjie from China broke the

00:07:31.506 --> 00:07:32.586
world record for

00:07:32.617 --> 00:07:33.602
solving a

00:07:33.634 --> 00:07:35.139
Rubik's Cube.  She did

00:07:35.174 --> 00:07:36.416
it twice in just three

00:07:36.450 --> 00:07:41.404
days.  Zhi Zhi

00:07:41.441 --> 00:07:42.360
took an

00:07:42.397 --> 00:07:43.316
average of 4.27

00:07:43.353 --> 00:07:44.713
seconds to solve a

00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:45.963
standard

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.324
3x3x3 cube in five attempts,

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.427
beating his own

00:07:48.463 --> 00:07:49.787
record of 4.52 seconds

00:07:49.824 --> 00:07:51.110
set two

00:07:51.147 --> 00:07:52.182
days earlier.  I

00:07:53.077 --> 00:07:54.118
can't even tie my shoelaces that fast.  I

00:07:54.942 --> 00:07:55.788
can't even unlock my phone that quickly,

00:07:55.811 --> 00:07:56.566
even though I use

00:07:57.206 --> 00:07:58.254
facial recognition.  She is the only

00:07:58.286 --> 00:07:59.432
female speedcuber in

00:07:59.464 --> 00:08:00.705
history to have an

00:08:00.737 --> 00:08:01.850
official average

00:08:01.882 --> 00:08:02.773
time of less than 4.5

00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:04.276
seconds.  Talent?  Yes.

00:08:04.718 --> 00:08:05.731
But this amazing

00:08:05.764 --> 00:08:06.811
girl is breaking

00:08:06.845 --> 00:08:07.825
records because she

00:08:07.858 --> 00:08:09.074
works hard, my

00:08:09.108 --> 00:08:10.439
friends.  She started

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:11.762
working out at just 4

00:08:11.803 --> 00:08:13.394
years old.  His mother told

00:08:13.436 --> 00:08:14.399
CNN that Zhi Zhi

00:08:14.441 --> 00:08:15.655
trains for 2-3

00:08:15.697 --> 00:08:17.288
hours every day and now

00:08:17.330 --> 00:08:18.335
knows over 1,300

00:08:18.377 --> 00:08:20.010
addition algorithms

00:08:20.010 --> 00:08:21.752
.  And cubing gave her

00:08:21.788 --> 00:08:22.427
a lot of self-

00:08:22.463 --> 00:08:23.707
confidence.

00:08:29.114 --> 00:08:30.257
Today's story is a

00:08:30.288 --> 00:08:31.493
10 out of 10—for all of us

00:08:31.524 --> 00:08:32.111
who have ever

00:08:32.142 --> 00:08:33.347
used a broom

00:08:33.378 --> 00:08:34.459
or a cardboard tube,

00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:35.324
imagining it was a

00:08:35.355 --> 00:08:36.599
lightsaber.  Now,

00:08:36.630 --> 00:08:37.403
thanks to LudoSport, an

00:08:37.434 --> 00:08:38.640
international academy for

00:08:40.186 --> 00:08:41.392
lightsaber sport fencing, our

00:08:41.423 --> 00:08:42.506
Jedi training

00:08:42.536 --> 00:08:43.464
can become a little more

00:08:43.495 --> 00:08:44.746
official.  Yes, this is a

00:08:44.782 --> 00:08:46.064
real sport that

00:08:46.101 --> 00:08:47.455
originated in Italy in

00:08:47.492 --> 00:08:48.580
2006.  Essentially, it's

00:08:48.605 --> 00:08:49.255
fencing

00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:50.255
transported to a

00:08:50.255 --> 00:08:51.270
galaxy far, far away.  You

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:52.340
also choose a

00:08:52.369 --> 00:08:53.035
fighting name for yourself.

00:08:53.135 --> 00:08:54.381
Every LudoSport athlete has the

00:08:54.413 --> 00:08:55.463
right to choose their own

00:08:55.495 --> 00:08:56.800
fighting name.  Sometimes you

00:08:56.830 --> 00:08:57.970
choose your battle

00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:58.960
name, sometimes it

00:08:58.990 --> 00:08:59.895
chooses you.  My

00:08:59.929 --> 00:09:00.783
battle name is

00:09:00.783 --> 00:09:01.962
Wizard.  Also in

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.453
our school there is a Wizard, a

00:09:03.491 --> 00:09:04.677
Ranger, a Hawk, and a

00:09:04.715 --> 00:09:06.611
Virgo.  It's a bit like a

00:09:06.644 --> 00:09:07.793
dream come true,

00:09:07.826 --> 00:09:08.810
because people can

00:09:08.843 --> 00:09:09.762
say, "Yes, I

00:09:09.795 --> 00:09:10.878
fight with lightsabers in the evenings

00:09:10.911 --> 00:09:11.962
."

00:09:12.498 --> 00:09:13.505
So if you've dreamed of

00:09:13.534 --> 00:09:14.690
becoming a fencer

00:09:14.690 --> 00:09:15.697
, maybe getting

00:09:15.727 --> 00:09:16.853
a scholarship, making it

00:09:16.882 --> 00:09:17.771
to the Olympics, or

00:09:17.801 --> 00:09:18.897
becoming a Jedi—you're one

00:09:18.927 --> 00:09:20.024
step closer.  May

00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:21.304
the Force be with you.

00:09:21.404 --> 00:09:22.715
Here are our top ten.

00:09:22.815 --> 00:09:23.839
But first, congratulations to the

00:09:23.866 --> 00:09:24.703
winners of our

00:09:25.485 --> 00:09:26.321

00:09:26.348 --> 00:09:27.400
Carter Ives and his

00:09:27.427 --> 00:09:28.398
friends from

00:09:28.425 --> 00:09:29.450
Camden Rockport High School

00:09:29.477 --> 00:09:30.529
in Maine for the word "

00:09:30.529 --> 00:09:31.619
ambulate ."  I love this

00:09:31.656 --> 00:09:32.836
word.  This is a verb that

00:09:32.861 --> 00:09:33.716
means to walk or

00:09:33.741 --> 00:09:34.696
move on foot from

00:09:34.722 --> 00:09:35.627
one place to another.

00:09:35.727 --> 00:09:36.776
Thank you for making

00:09:36.806 --> 00:09:37.826
us a little

00:09:37.856 --> 00:09:39.004
smarter today.  We

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:40.081
would also like to extend

00:09:40.117 --> 00:09:41.337
our congratulations to Ms. Becky

00:09:41.373 --> 00:09:42.736

00:09:45.391 --> 00:09:46.468
sent us this

00:09:46.504 --> 00:09:47.401
incredible and

00:09:47.437 --> 00:09:48.836
impressive presentation

00:09:48.872 --> 00:09:50.092
about your inspiring

00:09:50.128 --> 00:09:52.473
school.  This is art,

00:09:52.511 --> 00:09:54.082
this style.  You are so

00:09:54.119 --> 00:09:54.904
talented.

00:09:55.004 --> 00:09:55.998
Look at this.

00:09:56.098 --> 00:09:57.397
Rising Stars Academy, and

00:09:57.433 --> 00:09:58.803

caps.  I will wear it with

00:10:00.305 --> 00:10:01.383
pride.  Thank you to

00:10:01.410 --> 00:10:02.312
everyone who gave

00:10:02.339 --> 00:10:03.405
us part of their day

00:10:03.405 --> 00:10:04.582
.  Whatever game of life you

00:10:04.610 --> 00:10:05.404
