00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:13.110
What's up, sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. This

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:15.030
is CNN 10, your 10 minutes of news,

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:16.390
where we simply tell you the what,

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:18.390
letting you decide what to think. We

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:19.670
have science that'll make you say,

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:21.990
"Wait, what? Space claws, cartwheeling

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.590
snakes, and a proposal that is quite

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.990
literally golden." We start though with

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.310
some very serious news in Spain where

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.830
rescuers are working through the

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:31.189
aftermath of a deadly collision

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.910
involving two high-speed trains south of

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.910
Madrid. At the time of this recording,

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.590
dozens of people have been killed,

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.750
dozens more injured after the trains

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:42.150
collided in Toledo Province with more

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:44.150
than 500 passengers believed to have

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.630
been on board.

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.310
>> The signal control system at Erdis

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.069
Station failed as a result of a

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.150
communication fault in the computers.

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:53.830
Three computers relying on the network

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.470
were affected and automatically over a

00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:59.990
63 km stretch. The system lost the LZB

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.229
safety network. This caused all trains

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:04.310
traveling along that stretch at the time

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:06.469
to come to a halt automatically.

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:08.710
Emergency crews, firefighters, medical

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:10.710
teams, and Spain's military emergency

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:12.390
unit have all been deployed while

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.070
service on the highspeed line connecting

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:16.630
Madrid with southern Spain has been

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.630
suspended. Investigators working to

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.590
determine exactly what happened. This is

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.910
Spain's third rail disaster this year.

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.670
In January, two high-speed trains

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.070
collided near Cordoba, killing more than

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:30.550
40 people. For now, the focus is on this

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.190
tragedy, on the victims, their families,

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.870
and the rescuers still working at the

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:36.950
scene. Here's something I did not have

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:39.270
on my bingo card today. Cooking dinner

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.590
can help create air pollution. Learn

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.270
something new every day on this show.

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.749
Noah researchers found that chemicals

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:47.350
released while cooking food called

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:50.389
VOCC's or volatile organic compounds

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:53.030
account for about 26% of the ozone

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.590
produced from human generated VOCC's in

00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:58.230
the LA basin. That's comparable to the

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.230
contribution from cars, trucks, and

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:02.709
other fuel burning vehicles. Now,

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.310
Californians probably shouldn't start

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:06.069
suddenly declaring frying pans as public

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.309
enemy number one. Ground level ozone

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.150
forms through a whole chain of chemical

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:12.309
reactions involving sunlight, VOCC's,

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.670
and nitrogen oxides. Point is, as cars

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.350
get cleaner, scientists are discovering

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.270
that sources we once overlooked, like

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.030
cooking oils, paints, cleaners, and

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.510
personal care products matter more than

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.390
they'd originally thought.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.710
Pop quiz hot shot. NFL players have had

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:30.710
a union for decades. What year was the

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:34.070
NFL Players Association founded? 1936,

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.830
1956,76,

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.350
or 96.

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.470
If you said 1956, touchdown. The NFL

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:44.869
Players Association was formed nearly 70

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.630
years ago to give players a collective

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:48.550
voice over things like pay, working

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.710
conditions, benefits, and safety. Now,

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:52.710
another group on an NFL sideline is

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:55.430
making labor history of its own. The

00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.509
Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have become

00:02:57.519 --> 00:02:59.589
the first NFL cheerleading squad to gain

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.070
official union representation. The

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.149
Cowboys voluntarily recognized the

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.630
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Association,

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:08.309
meaning the two sides can now begin

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.390
negotiating a collective bargaining

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.390
agreement. It's basically a contract

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.790
negotiated by workers as a group,

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.710
covering things like pay, hours,

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:18.790
benefits, and working conditions.

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.470
Publish reports say some cheerleaders

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:22.869
have earned about $500 per game, plus

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.350
hourly pay for practices, while many

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.350
also maintain full-time jobs outside of

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.350
the team. Some of the women spoke openly

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.270
about their wages on a Netflix reality

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.990
show in 2024. And here's our labor law

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.750
knowledge bomb for the day. A union

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:37.430
doesn't automatically mean workers get

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:38.949
everything they're asking for, right? It

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:41.589
means they negotiate collectively rather

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.830
than one person at a time. NFL players

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.390
have had a union since 1956. NFL

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.949
cheerleaders until now never. New

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:50.710
routine, new formation, different kind

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:53.030
of teamwork. Now to a story at the

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:55.110
intersection of ingenuity and space

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.190
junk. As humans launch more satellites,

00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:58.789
rockets, and spacecraft, we're also

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:00.550
leaving a growing mess in orbit above

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.710
our planet. NASA says there may be more

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:05.110
than 100 million pieces of man-made

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.589
debris whizzing around in low Earth

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.750
orbit. At up to 10 times the speed of a

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:11.830
bullet. At those speeds, the tiniest

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.670
pieces of debris can cause huge

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.270
problems, potentially damaging

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.590
satellites, space missions, even the

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.150
International Space Station. So students

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.710
in South Korea are developing a gripping

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.629
solution. Think of it like one of those

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.390
arcade claw machines, except instead of

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:28.390
winning a stuffy, you're actually trying

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:30.310
to clean up space. Our Christy L Stout

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:31.590
shows us how.

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.790
>> What sorcery is this?

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.830
Okay, so this is me, but let me explain.

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:41.990
I recently visited a university in South

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.550
Korea to check out this soft gripper

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.950
that's going to be sent to space. I

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.189
brought some objects cuz I want to test

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.189
your gripper. Okay.

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.749
>> It's made out of thin plastic strips and

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.550
it can pick up just about anything.

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.430
>> Easy.

00:04:57.440 --> 00:04:57.909
>> Yeah.

00:04:57.919 --> 00:04:59.990
>> From tiny nuts and bolts. Oh.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.909
>> Oh, just missed it. No, I got it.

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:09.430
>> To delicate objects and even me.

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:11.830
>> Could you close the gripper? Okay. Is

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:12.629
that perfect?

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.670
>> I can test it. Okay.

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.430
>> Yeah, sure.

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:17.670
The interwoven structure of the soft

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.830
plastic strips makes it incredibly

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:20.310
strong.

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:22.950
>> All right, let's do it.

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:28.310
>> Oh, there we go. What sorcery is this?

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:30.790
And because of its amazing design, it

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.270
could even lift up to 100 kilos or

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:36.550
around 220 lb. I'm being held by thin

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.430
strips of plastic. It's being developed

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:41.830
by students at Kais to attach to

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:44.310
satellites to collect space debris.

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:45.990
According to NASA, there's more than

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.270
9,000 metric tons of space debris in

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:52.070
Earth's orbit alone. That is a big mess

00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:54.950
to clean up. Gyongji Kong came up with

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:57.029
the original design inspired by an

00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:59.350
ancient art of cutting and folding paper

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.390
similar to origami. We used Kurugami

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:05.830
inspired design in this scraper because

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:09.909
the strips intersect each other so the

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:13.029
load is distributed. The original design

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:14.870
was developed in collaboration with the

00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:16.629
Korean Institute of Science and

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.270
Technology. Now the team at Kaist are

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:21.270
working on a larger version which they

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:23.590
say will be launched into space for test

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.189
next year by the Korean Space Agency. In

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.350
our mission, our gripper will be

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.469
attached at the end of robotic arm. I

00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:35.430
think it can be a chance to become a

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:38.950
pioneer of space robotics.

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:41.430
>> Imagine being a student and having your

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:43.990
prototype set up into orbit. I can't

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.230
wait to see the results.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.309
>> That's good. Y

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.870
>> snakes generally have four famous ways

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:54.790
to get around. And I was today years old

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.150
when I learned that scientists have

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.070
names for all four of them. Lateral

00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:00.309
undulation, rectalinear movement,

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.550
concertina movement, and side winding.

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.629
But did you know some snakes can

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.870
cartwheel? Yep. Full-on headover heels

00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:09.029
snake gymnastics. Scientists in Japan

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:11.029
and Malaysia have just recorded footage

00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:14.070
of the Southeast Asian dwarf reed snake.

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:15.909
Somersaulting at high speeds. Our

00:07:15.919 --> 00:07:17.430
Patrick Cornell shows us how these

00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:19.430
sineuous creatures slithered their way

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:21.510
into a new skill.

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:23.749
Let's say hypothetically you need to

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.589
make a quick getaway. You could try

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:28.070
cartwheeling like this snake. Yes, I

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:30.309
said cartwheeling snake. In case you're

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.469
not already horrified, this is it in

00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:35.430
action in super slow-mo. Researchers

00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:37.510
just documented the dwarf reed snake's

00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:39.510
unique escape method. When it needs to

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:41.589
flee, it pops itself into the air and

00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:44.150
rolls. Scientists originally spotted it

00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.710
in the wild in Borneo, now recreated in

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.629
a lab and officially recorded in the

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.870
journal Current Biology. The study

00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:53.029
authors say the acrobatic escape method

00:07:53.039 --> 00:07:55.110
is four times faster than the snake's

00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:03.990
traditional slithering.

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.510
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:07.589
proof that sometimes love really is

00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:09.749
worth its weight in gold. Colorado's

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.230
Jack Vulcani decided he was ready to

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.830
propose to his longtime girlfriend

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:15.830
Joanne. Instead of buying a ring, he

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.830
went into Colorado's creeks and rivers

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:20.629
nearby and panned for the gold himself,

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.710
one tiny fleck at a time.

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.629
>> The smallest gold you've ever seen, but

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.390
it's right there. I was like, "This is

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:27.830
going to take forever." And for some

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:29.909
reason, that got me going, you know?

00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:32.149
>> Jack says it took him months, but he

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.310
eventually collected enough gold and it

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.550
took it to a jeweler who melted the tiny

00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:37.990
flakes and cast them into a

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.550
one-of-a-kind engagement ring. I

00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:43.029
initially kind of got excited just

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.030
because it's like, well, that's a new

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:46.150
thing. Um,

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:47.590
>> they asked a few times. They're like,

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.110
it's seriously just from up in the

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.389
mountains. I was like, yeah, it's all up

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.550
from the mountains. They were really

00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:53.910
blown away. It was It was a great

00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:54.630
reaction.

00:08:54.640 --> 00:08:56.790
>> Then came the big moment.

00:08:56.800 --> 00:08:58.150
>> I'm just watching this video of him gold

00:08:58.160 --> 00:08:59.590
panning. I'm like, this is cute, but I I

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.710
don't know why we're doing this right

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.949
now. Um, and then halfway through the

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:05.910
video, I realized, oh, this is the

00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:09.430
process of you making the ring. And um I

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.269
just start crying. I black out a little

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.350
bit, but it was it was a really special

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:14.230
moment.

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.949
>> Joanne said yes. The two are now married

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:19.350
and Jack had enough leftover gold to

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.670
make his own wedding band. Same rivers,

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:23.590
same gold, two rings. That proposal

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.310
really panned out. All right, sunshine

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.710
shout out time. This one goes to Mrs.

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.470
Myers and all of our friends at Rome

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.389
Middle in Anchorage, Alaska. More than

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.710

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.630
paperiermâché and all that it took to

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:38.230

making me Sometimes the biggest

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:43.829
discoveries come from looking at

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:45.430
familiar things a little differently.

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.030
